This collection is the first in an ongoing series of Base Game Only, No Custom Content homes by StephSim's Designers Inc.. Basically, you can download 4 homes for the price of one. What? Glad you asked.

The Viper Canyon "Dream House" has 4 versions. There is a STARTER version house, a RENOVATED version of the house, a FAMILY version of the house and a LUXURY version of the house. Basically, this is a 3 x 2 lot with the same house that has been redecorated and updated to fit a Simmer as they go through life. The Starter home is for a single Sim, an expectant single Sim, 2 single Sims, a couple just starting out without kids or a couple with a baby on the way. The Renovated home is a better decorated version of the original house. The baby room is fully decorated, but can be easily changed out to fit your Sims needs. The Family home is for a couple with 2 children. A second level has been added to the house, an outdoor pool and too many other upgrades to list! The Luxury home has been renovated from the Family version into a 2 bedroom luxury home with all the possible amenities a Sim could dream of having.So if you are looking for a desert oasis that grows with your Sims (as they move from First Time Home Buyers to transforming their home into the perfect Retirement space), look no further!

The houses were built on the same land (3 x 2 lot) so upgrading will be easy. Each lot is furnished to meet the needs of the families as they make more money. Each lot is a step above the next with things like toilets, counters and beds being updated to the more expensive versions.

Shocked Viewer:
"Oh My GOD! Can you believe the nerve of some people. How dare she slip into a bed that doesn't belong to her. What is this world coming to?"

Sympathizing Viewer:
"Whatever floats your boat honey! If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad, Eh? That canopy styled bed is a bit tempting. I say do what works for you. But next time, be sure to turn the camera off doll!"

Inspiration for the Dream House Collection
I have been drowning in "medieval madness" with my Gwrych Project. I wanted to build a few medieval lots for EVERYONE using fewer EPs. While testing the BASE GAME ONLY Any Game Starter setup, I decided to build a lot using Base Game only just to see what it was like to build in memory lane. Initially, I found myself baffled at the lot building limits and flaws with Base Game. Then, I warmed up to using Base Game only and decided to build a small set of lots that grew with your Simmies. Basically, I wanted to free Simmers from having to find a house to fit the Sim families they already have that are move in ready. I also wanted to give Simmers something to look forward to as their Simmies earned more money and moved up in the world. Basically, your Simmies can purchase the Starter house right away and begin saving. Once they have 50,000 Simoleons saved up, you can basically place the Renovated lot in the neighborhood (or in the same spot even) and move your Simmies in without having to decorate. Then your Simmies can aspire for the FAMILY HOME and finally the LUXURY HOME. I hope "someone" out there finds this concept practical.

I also created these lots to meet the needs of a current Sim family you may already have. So, basically, download the lot that fits your Sim needs. Basically, give your Simmies the house of their dreams!

There will be a Dream House Collection set of homes for each Sims 2 neighborhood available in Base Game (Any Game Starter). Please keep in mind that this collection is something I do to break the monotony of larger projects.



SUGGESTED ADDITIONS:
There is a small 2 tile space in the kitchen of the FAMILY lot and a room at the top of the Stairs in the LUXURY lot meant for a washer and dryer. Here are a couple of suggested downloads to fit into those spaces to bring your Sim laundry space to life!
