Well, I can understand the use for it. On 4. level of course nectar machines and nectar racks. On 3. relic collections and meteors, bugs, and photos; on 2. paintings and sculptures - gallery, and on first level transfiguration station with all gems, ores and other "necessary" things (plus if there is a pond, pool and/or hot tub, fountain etc on the ground first floor is not that usable. And still no place for family museum underground, or for huge dark library with all the masterpieces wrote by ancestors, or gaming den, but with 4 floors above ground there is plenty of room for everything. Yes, if only my PC could handle it, it would be amazing millionaire mansion.

I don't usually build 2 levels above or below ground anymore, and I still struggle to come up with ideas to fill all the rooms lol.

Tell me how you've filled those rooms and I will tell you how you may want to fill the others.

Anushka, you have talent. The way you want to fill those floors is so logic and practical. Maybe you should try it though, with a not so big mansion.

Thank you Leto! Huge and Hosfac, you know what they say, if you don't know how to spent the money, ask a woman ;D
I did something similar in dynasty (got to 6.gen and game kept crashing until resent disaster destroyed saved files). Leto already wrote most (if not all) rooms, but I didn't made that many bedrooms, and not to mention bathrooms. Since all my Sims eventually got steel bladder, there were only 2 toilets on main ground and one underground, but 8 bedrooms had the most expensive bathtub, bed and special object(s) and decorations (computer whiz got computer, artistic Sim got easel, inventor got inventing table, plus decoration was skull cut of gem closest to their favorite color, plus gadgets, spirits, art bookshelves, related to traits).
Outdoor was filled up completely, pool between rocks, pond, martial arts garden across the bridge, perfect garden, hot tub area, painting/sculpting area, jamming area, parking, graveyard, fountains, gnubb and other fun objects, bar and party set up next to the pool, barbecue and outdoor dinning area... underground was a labyrinth with more than 100 different paintings, even tomb part with king sarcophagus, wells on each level above and underground, underground garden with family museum, collectables.. no wonder game couldn't handle millions of objects hehehe. I'll definitely do something similar, but separate it in art gallery, museum with all collectables, outdoor gym with martial arts equipment, perfect community garden, special library with masterpieces.. Actually, I already made some of this for a perfect tropical island, so it will eventually be in Swapshop :)

Haha, wow what a cool link! Now I definatly want to add a conservatory, loading dock, moon gate (whatever that may be), a storm cellar and an airport lounge. That link will be added in the first page. Thanks again Danefaith!

@ Anushka, reading your post made me wonder, when you have made that over the top, top of the class house of yours, if you will not be disapointed if you shut down your computer and look around in your own house. Don't get me wrong because of course I don't know how you live (because you still haven't invited me in ;)) but unless you haven't rebuild the mansion your living in, I think it would be quite hard to step away from your digital masterpiece, right into a dark hole or so.

Not really. At the moment I do live in very modest living space, comparing to some previous apartments, but I wouldn't live in such a huge place ever. I don't really need much to be happy and content (I would like to grow flowers in my own greenhouse, but I don't want art/gym/museum etc in my real life. This house was a place to have all the things game can offer, but it is a game. My dream house would be much much smaller and very modest comparing to this. I'm thankful for my healthy and loving little family, everything else is a bonus.

I went back to look at my dynasty story, and got really nostalgic. These were the only Sims I got attached to. Anyway, for some ideas for millionaire mansion and visual of all different features I talked about.

Wow, I really like your house. Especially the awesome basement with the giant fish tank. I've tried that too in my mansion, but when I broke it down for the reason of RAM-legg (I have a back up though) I still got the fish floating in the air when I had placed another house. You only see them in Live mode actually.

Not answering the question here but:
1-How do i make a nectar cellar?
2-How do I put bugs/butterflies in the house?
3-Where do I find enough rocks for creating a museum house?

While this is off-topic, I'll answer them since the answers are short and sweet:

1)  To build a nectar cellar, all you really need to do is make a basement, put nectar racks in it and fill them with nectar.
2)  You can move the bugs out of your inventory, and they will be in their own little containers.  There might also be a terrarium, but I'm not sure about that.
3)  The only real way to find enough rocks is to keep looking.  Also, check the consignment store and save up 40k LTH points for the collection helper.

You won't find them on PS3.  Nectar is part of the World Adventures expansion pack for PC.  Please post your questions for the console version on the Console Board.
