Description:

This mod uses all custom content. Every Item is from the resource section and includes some excellent models that will interest anyone who has not seen them. It starts a new direction for me in that I think I will be using unique meshes for my projects from here on. The results are encouraging for me because I was intending this as a project for myself to attain better access to Ald-Ruhn for another project and got to watching the last in the series of Rome where Mark Antony meets Cleopatra in Egypt. This inspired me to build something that has an Egyptian feel to it. I was also inspired by the texture pack done recently for Vivec. I liked the feel of that in Morrowind. With respect, I only take a piece from that and a piece this - Never the whole of a resource so as to encourage others to see the resources for themselves and be as suprised as I was with what you find. Outside the villa presents a custom housing mesh from the "DB Tileset" of Lady Eternity and Proudfoot. Atop the roof is a viewing area with some custom furnishings from Adele. A mod named "Desert Architectural resource (DAR)" by Darkness Eternal is responsible for moddeling the fountain and is closely associated with the palm tree. What you can expect from this mod is a lavish three storied house that stretches underground. I made the furnishings fit together in a nice colour assembly that feels like it would if it were placed in a desert. I tried to put as much timber of lighter shades in as possible and create a light yellowish tinge to the living environment. On the ground floor there is a living area meant for recreation and cooking. I tried out some wonderful models from "Adele's Furniture Conversion" which provided an superb selection of tables, chairs and storage vessels. I also added some Egyptian Urns to the mix from "Egyptian Urns". Some items and decoration were added from "Kayla's Knicks and Knacks" by Quarl, one of the best resources available. Apples are from Lady E. There is a Bansai tree from "Asian Resource Pack - Bansai Trees" by Redwoodtreesprite. Also there are wall pictures from "KEY Paintings" by Clavis. There are nicely textured shelves for storage and they were from the "QF Furniture" resource by Bob196045 and Silgrad Tower. These retextured statics and containers are used throughout the home. Check their mod for other great wood retextures, these are just a few of the lightwood colourings. Curtains, tables and chairs are from "Adeles Furniture Conversion" by Shannon, who convinced Adele to let him port some of her furniture over from The Sims 2. That's why this stuff looks so good - and there is so much more of it! Great work. Be sure to check this mod out. On the first lower floor there is a section for bathing and for this I utilised "Dongles Waterpack" in the form of a huge water tub. It has wonder
