Title: Newbie Road 09 - Starter House
Category: Lots & Housing > Residential > Starter Homes

Cost: 19.953
Lot size: 3x3

No expansion packs required.
No custom content.


Description:
Modern starter house for 1-2 Sims, quite large for a starter (and on a medium lot), but very sparsely furnished. Minimal landscaping/decoration. This house is designed as a row house -- you can build a second, identical one next to it on the same lot.

1 x double bedroom
2 x bathroom (1 furnished)
1 x kitchen
1 x dining/livingroom
1 x spare room (unfurnished), can be made into two rooms

Basic appliances included: lights, toilet, tub, fridge, kitchen sink, trashcan, phone, burglar alarm, bookshelf. NO smoke detector. I believe there's enough room for a carport in front of the house (7x10 squares), although I'm not 100% sure how long a carport is.

Expandability: Spare room inside the house, also there's space for another house on the same lot (row house style - build it 2 squares from the right side of the lot and the row will be evenly spaced in neighborhood view if you place several of these).

Highly redommended: If you do the row house thing, use Inge Jones' keyholder doors (www.simlogical.com, go to Downloads > TS2 > Hacked Doors) or a similar limited-access system -- otherwise your sims will not know which house is theirs.


Note:
If you get an "expansion pack data required" error upon installation, using Clean Installer should help. Apparently this is a known issue (not specific to this download), see this thread describing the problem and this post (daysies) explaining the workaround.

Enjoy!
