The Everson House - A Starter House Recreation
A Beautiful Starter Home based off of original work by Beatdoc16
Upon request, I was prompted to make this wonderful house. I was provided with an image from a google search result, and I got to work at the house. I loved my work, but I knew it wasn't entirely mine.. After some searching, I found the original creator, beatdoc16, and she was kind enough to let me upload this creation for the community to enjoy!
Layout and Design
This small starter home features beautiful flora and landscaping. Within the outer fence, the lot has a small garden, a firepit, and plenty of flowers and plants to admire! Inside, a small kitchen opens up to a simple living room which takes up the majority of the household. The small bathroom features a cosy feel, along with the single bedroom, which contains one double bed along side a huge bay window, to match the bay window of the kitchen. The back of the house has a small deck, and area for your sims to grill; seating for two. A path leads back to the firepit.
The Two Versions (Please Read!)
It may become apparent to you that this lot is quite expensive for a starter house at little below 40,000 simoleans. This is because of the massive amount of flora on the lot. Because of this, I have included two versions of the house for download. Each house has it's respective .RAR file. It will NOT hurt to download both, and they are no different other than what I am going to explain below. Please continue reading
There are two different versions of the house, one of which is cheaper than the other. When I built this house, I realized that the cost of the flora was very overwhelming, and that this lot no longer achieved that "starter home" pricetag. So, to save you the time, I have included a lot that uses Late Night elements of the game to make the house cheaper, as well as a normal version. There is, however, a catch in the more expensive version. The lot is rendered uneditable with the Late Night marker used. There is a simple process of removing the restrictions. Read the spoiler below on how to do this. There is also instructions on how to remove those elements if you do get the cheaper lot and change your mind.
*It has been confirmed that there are NOT any problems with gardening on the cheaper lot.*
This lot includes build elements that render it un-editable without the use of cheats. To lift the restrictions, the following cheats are needed, and should be typed into the Cheat console by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C, the cheat, and then enter. Enter each code as shown.
testingCheatsEnabled true
buydebug
rbbb false
Once these cheats are typed in, find the sphere in the foundation of the house. Select the sphere and delete. If you did this correctly, the house should change in price. Done!
The Lot Size Mixup
Okay, so there is one minor annoyance in this download. I did not check before building, and realized that this lot has been built on a 21 x 25 lot, rather than the regular 20 x 25. This means that you CANNOT place this on a 20 x 25 lot. Now, depending on your lot avaliblity, you can just plop this lot onto a 25 x 25 lot and call it a day. However, if you have a 20 x 25 lot space for it, and you want to keep this lot nice and snug as it is, you are going to need a method of creating a custom sized blank lot. There are many ways to do this, and it is not that hard to do. If you already have Awesome Mod installed, all you need to do is type "addlotsize 21 25" into the cheat console. Alternatively, you could use the iJLotSizes mod and read those instructions. I'm really sorry about this little annoyance in the lot. But like I said, you can always place it on a 25 x 25 lot or bigger and it will be fine.
Custom Content
To ensure the quality of the lot, some objects are required to be downloaded. This content is NOT included in the package and MUST be downloaded for the lot to appear exactly as shown in the screenshots!

5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
