Category: Lots & Housing > Residential
Cost: 50.943
Lot size: 4x3
Households: 4
Nightlife expansion required.
Custom content: 2 x Wallpaper, by myself
Description:
4 small and cheap row houses. Two houses are furnished, the other two only contain plumbing and some basic fixtures. Every house has a little garden, a front porch, and a basement; six driveways included. Some landscaping/decoration.
Each house has
1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom / spare room
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living room
Basic appliances included: lights, toilet, bathtub, fridge, kitchen sink, phone, burglar alarm, smoke detector, trash can, bookshelf. House 1 (leftmost) also has a small pool, house 2 a dart board.
Expandability: The basements can be much enlarged.
Recommended hacks: You need to assign the doors somehow so that your sims know which apartment is theirs. I think if you have OfB you can use the locking doors funcionality for that, otherwise get hold of Inge Jones' lockable doors or access management system (formerly simlogical.com) or use the "Smart Door" hack by tunaisafish (untested by me, but seems to work nicely + is well-maintained). I also like to use Inge's Mortgage/Rent shrubs for this kind of house.
Note:
If you get an "expansion pack data required" error upon installation, use Clean Installer instead of the Maxis one. Apparently this is a known issue (not specific to this download), see this thread describing the problem and this post (daysies) explaining the workaround.
Thanks:
For the extra trashcans and mailboxes on this lot, I used this useful collection (229 in-game objects, by frillen).
Enjoy!

Install Instructions
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).
- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
