The Book Nook Redux
Asia Windling was the second born child of Prometheus and Maura and is the twin sister of Theia Windling. She, along with her twin sister and her younger brother Atlas, moved out of Windling Gables and to the Windling Farmhouse to live with her father's cousin Jan when she was only a child. Many years passed and the three grew up.
Asia met a beautiful woman named Marylena at Windling Market that she took a fancy to and they eventually married. They both wanted children but they couldn't afford to adopt any. So they turned to a life of crime, living a life of late night shifts, clothed in black and white stripes, stealing and dealing on the streets of Pangea.
Around that time Asia's brother Atlas and his husband Benjamin developed the same-sex pregnancy serum. Asia and Marylena were so excited they both took the serum, Asia a few months after Marylena did. Marylena gave birth to a healthy baby girl they named Selene. Meanwhile, Asia had a very difficult pregnancy and nearly died from complications, a few months later Asia gave birth to Cadmus, and decided that he would be the one and only child she would bear. Marylena went on to carry and birth two more children, both boys, that were named Charon and Perseus.
Selene became a bossy older sister that got straight A's and adored reading books and teasing her younger brothers. Cadmus (of portrait contest fame) was a bit of a trouble maker that was constantly getting into scrapes and breaking things when he really didn't mean to, he is also the number one fan of the lama mascot! Charon is the artist in the family and enjoys painting and drawing and making up stories, he also tells whopping big fibs sometimes. Perseus is the youngest and believes there really is Something Out There, he enjoys stargazing, reading space magazines, and convincing others that his Grandfather (Prometheus) really was abducted by aliens.
The Book Nook is a five bedroom six and a half bathroom (sorry) home that can accomodate five to six Sims as is. It is by far my largest and most ambitious home to date. It features a double split-level staircase leading to the second floor, a gigantic basement with lots of hidden goodies and a (sorta) spiral staircase leading up to a treehouse out back for the kids.

The back:
The basement:
(Features include a common room for socializing and performing with a full band set up, bar, and dart boards. There is a play room for the kids so the kids can feed themselves and keep themselves entertained and out from underfoot during a party. There is a skills room with the criminal family in mind to help keep those robbers in shape. Right next to it is a room that can either be an extension of the skills room and hold career reward objects, be a spare bedroom, or work as quarters for a vampire. Across the hall is an engerizer room for two and tucked into the farthest corner is a room that hides the family's real business: two counterfeit machines with sprinklers already installed, a lie detector and a hydroponic plant garden. Walled off areas are walled off for a reason, if you put anything there when you go to take a picture in camera man mode it will be blocked by the staircases a floor above it. Use moveobjects to place things on the walls along the perimeter of the basement.)
The first floor:
(Features include a study, a parlour, a billiards room, a kitchen and a dining room. Very innocous, normal, and innocent. There is a grill on the back porch, a double staircase to the basement and a double split level staircase leading up the second floor. If you want to add to the decor I suggest you view the hall in camera man mode first so that you can see all of the staircase to the second floor. The dining room does not have a table because I am missing the default three square dining table from my game, sorry.)
The second floor:
(Features include five bedrooms that each reflect the owner, a front balcony with a most expensive telescope, and a back balcony outfitted for the parents with hot tub and lounge chairs. Also perfectly situated to keep an eye on the kids in the tree house, or is it vice versa?)
The tree house:
(Features include telescope, toys, books, seating and a pinball machine for Cadmus. Branches come through the walls without getting in the way and the leaves criss-cross to form a canopy under the roof.)
The tree house with different stairs:
(The most expensive modular stairs are the only ones that don't have an underside that insists on stretching to the ground. If you would like wooden ones that match the tree house I suggest downloading the Ballustrade steps from here. Please read the instructions because the stairs require you to add some lines into your core files (hence the reason I am not offering them with the lot). Here is a picture of how they will look with your tree house.)
Selene's bedroom:
Charon's bedroom:
Perseus spying:
Cadmus playing pinball:
The family is not included. Please let me know if there are any problems with this lot.
