Newbie Road 135-146 -- Twelve Budget Starters
NewbieRoad_135-146_Overview.jpg - width=800 height=460

Description:
Twelve super-cheap, super-tiny starters that cost between 6.000§ and 12.000§. All of them sleep at least two sims (sometimes more) and come with the usual basic equipment, except for fire/burglar alarms (only the less dirt cheap ones have those).
Lot sizes are between 1x1 and 2x2, some lots have room for a driveway, all but one have a garden (or rather, some empty space that can be turned into one). Most of them have *some* sort of minimal landscaping already, but with less than half of the normal budget please don't expect very much.
They're all very sparsely furnished, needless to say -- some lots have an extra or two, like a TV or a dresser, but other than that it doesn't go beyond the basics.
The lots are not deprecated -- all of them are unplayed --, so you don't need to fear appliance breakage and you can swap out objects without making a loss.
Minimum equipment:
Included in all lots
- double bed
- fridge, kitchen counter; trash can
- dining table (or kitchen island) and something to sit on
- bookcase
- bathroom with shower or tub; toilet; kitchen sink
- phone; lights in all furnished rooms
None of the kitchens have stoves, but there's room for one in all of them.

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.
