About the house: I have a good frame of reference for most of it, the only thing is just going to be the painting, I wouldn't bother trying to click the link. Since the exchange is now defunct. Certain things are going to be missing from the new copy such as the portrait of your Great Aunt and the newspaper, but I've replaced it with a copy of the same size, just of a different thing. You start out with less than $100 either way. Also you can expand a little bit if I remember the rules from the original correctly
It's a shame about your dear old aunt, but you really lucked out. She left you the cottage and $50,000 to fix it up a little. She also left you some of her cherished family heirlooms - one in each room, including the family tree outside.
Rules
Get the cottage here. Heirloom Challenge
Move in a sim.
Give 'em their $50,000 inheritance (a motherlode).
Do your best to make a nice home using anything you've got. You may add structures if your sim can afford it.
You may re-design any object in the house, but you may not sell it. Dear old auntie will be watching!
