Building a House in The Sims 2 – #3

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:27:42 +0000

My third video of me building a house in super speed. I decided to do a Victorian Second Empire style home this time… one of my real life favourites. For a change there is no furnishing, only building and landscaping.

I have The Sims 2 base game with all expansion packs, and the following cheats were used during construction:

move_objects on

Yep, that’s it.

Incidentally Fraps was used to record this, not the in game video recorder as that doesn’t work properly… thanks a bunch, EA.

Enjoy.

e2 design II — Affordable Green Housing podcast

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:25:01 +0000

This is the fourth in a series of video podcasts for the PBS series e2 design II. Each podcast takes you beyond the episodes and deeper into the world of sustainable design. Biophilia is a hypothesis that describes humans as emotionally connected to all other living systems. Jonathan Rose, a New York City-based real estate developer, describes how biophilia can guide building design in dense urban environments. In many instances, biophilia shares the same principles as sustainable building design.

Major corporate funding for the e2 series is provided by Autodesk. More information is available at http://www.pbs.org/e2/ and http://www.e2-series.com/
