Stats:
Normal difficulty
Ironman playstyle
33 minutes
2434 of 2609 loot

Things I liked:
A solid mansion mission without shenanigans. I found the hidden hammer as well, even though I did not need it on Normal difficulty.
You can see streets surrounding the mansion. The playable area is not just a building floating in a void.
There are several secret levers you have to find, but if you read the journals, there should be enough hints on where to find them.

Possible improvements:
The intro to The Thieves' Guild played before the mission objectives screen.
There is a shop, but you get no funds to buy anything and there are no items to buy - on all difficulty levels.

You probably should have played the remake of this mission - (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148105)

Maybe that has the important changes you need

Thanks. I know about the remake and I am looking forward to play it in a couple of weeks.

If there are two different versions of the same mission, it can be rewarding to play both and compare them. For example, I played both versions of JIS's "Elevator Mission" for T1. The second version is a definite improvement but lacks some elements that I wish had been retained. JIS's demo version of "Hammer and Garrett" for T1 is even slightly better than the final release in my opinion. In the second version, he added some mandatory secrets that to me felt both unnecessary and too difficult to find.
