UPLOAD - Brisa (a beach style house... in a normal lot)

There was an announcement at MTS regarding a little challenge - monthly themes!
The theme for this month is "a day at the beach" so I decided to build something on purpose. Which is rather unusual for me.
Also the very first time sharing something I built with UC - so unluckily it requires all the expansions. But as usual no custom content was included.
To be honest I'm quite happy of the outcome :)

What will you find?
It is a two bedroom beach house. But it's not placed on a beach lot so it can be used in any other kind of neighborhoods as well.


Outside it looks like a quite classical wooden house but the inside is decorated in a modern style.


Would you like to see more pics?
Do you want to download it?
You will find all the information and images at MTS.

TUTORIAL - How to change the language of UC

When I downloaded The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection from Origin it automatically installed in my language.
But for some reasons I wanted to temporary change it to English.

It is slightly different from other versions so I'm writing it down so I don't have to figure it out again next time.

  1. Open the register editor. The easiest way is typing regedit into your Windows search bar.
  2. There are a lot of subfolders there; don't freak out.
    You need to expand  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, if you are on 64 bits also Wow6432Node, then EA Games, then The Sims 2 Fun with Pets Collections.
    Too hard to find? Don't despair and use the search function instead: search for Fun with Pets and most likely the editor will find the right path - just look at the status bar to make sure you got there.
  3. There should be a subfolder named 1.0 which you must select.
  4. Double click on Language and edit your code with the one of the language you want to use (see below). Make sure to enter it as a decimal value instead of a hexadecimal one.

  5. You may also click on LanguageName with the name of the language you want to use, but it's not mandatory.
And that's it, you are done. Go enjoy the game in whatever language you have chosen!
