I wonder if you could build the two-story mansion bit by bit instead of saving up a ton of money for the whole thing all at once. Trying to get 3.25 million is really hard!

Some of furnishing are only available after level 30+ e.g. the windows. So if you are not building the 2-storey mansion item for item, you can...

If you do save up for it, they make it worth your while by adding every simoleon to your TV i.e. 3.25M added. If we build it ourselves it's 10% the value of items purchased added to TV. But whichever way works for you best! :)

I am thinking of building my own version of the two-story mansion as well. The cost in my town has gone up a lot as I have nearly everything built on. Also the fact that I have a bug in my game that houses don't add to my TV, so at least this way I should get some extra value. I would love to know what you decide on doing in the end.

I did not know this. I've been sort of focused on keeping TV down so things are not so expensive. Good to know these things. Ill file that away.

Keeping TV down doesn't seem to make a difference with the cost of things. My TV is really low compared to others as my TV doesn't increase with a new house completion but the cost of buying houses still goes up each time.
