For all your sims that like to build their house on the sand.

In building this cottage, I was trying to channel the spirit of the outer banks (of North Carolina) by using some elements that I remember from childhood vacations, and some houses I remember seeing there. Unfortunately having a home on the beach is not really possible in the sims (until nightlife) because you can see the other side of any bodies of water.

So what you see is a quaint looking cottage in the sand dunes, and a swimmable lake made from the maxis pool. You can pretend it is a bay, or a really big tidepool, or whatever.

The only custom content can already be found here on MTS2- mickyss' fish for the pond and lordgaret's blue marlin. Because I couldn't resist. Everything else is Maxis.

The house itself has a unique layout, is minimally furnished (your sims can fill their needs when they move in, but it's mostly empty), has three floors (with 3 bathrooms) and costs around 52,000. I've playtested it, and the sims have no problems reaching the door or any part of the lot- and that includes the fireman.

If this is accepted, it will be my first contribution to the site, and I'm really pleased with it. I hope you enjoy it.

Edit (I forgot this earlier): The lot does not require the EP. And I want to thank MikeInside for all of his excellent building tutorials.
