Rustic Suburban

2020Remake - because Mama Oldie really likes this pool!
Now the house is even better - and with a little less CC. Please see the pictures for before and after changes.
I left the old file up in case anyone wants it - it was built with AGS and uses less EPs/SPs (it only needs BG, Ssn, and K&B) The new 2020 Version was built with the UC on my Win10 pc.

CC used/pictured - but not included (go get them, if you want them!):

Well, when the Oldies decided to leave their beloved "1970's Suburban" home and move across town, they were pleased to find this house so quickly. They were actually able to do some renovations to the house before making the big move.


The first thing they did was finish out the basement and add the swimming pool. They really liked the privacy of their old pool - but always complained it was too cold to swim during the winter months. So, this time when they converted the garage to a swimming pool, they completely enclosed the pool AND added a heater. Now they can have their morning swim every day of the year! (Mr. Oldie made sure there was still a place to park their car this time - that was always a bone of contintion at their old house.)



The kitchen needed updating; and the main living areas were badly in need of a paint job. Mama Oldie is very pleased with how everything turned out. "This is IT. This is my house!" She said. "I knew as soon as I saw those beautiful Craftsmen-style doors and windows. They just don't make 'em like that anymore! I know, I know, you gotta shine each little pane - but, for me, it's worth it!"



I made this house with the aide of Numenor's AGS (Any Game Starter) - Thank you, Numenor! I used a bit of CC - it looks like a lot, but it's mostly walls, floors, and tBudgett's Craftsman Doors/Windows/Arches completer set. The files have been scanned clean with S2PCI. You need only the Basegame through Seasons with Kitchen & Bath to be able to use this lot.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Lot size: 30X20 (3X2)

• Around 1,589 sq ft covered living space - 3 bedroom, 2 bath, great room with a modern, open firplace, kitchen, formal dining room, indoor heated pool, and a space to park your car.

• Around $47,095 simoleons - I say "around" because I have extensively re-organized my build/buy catalogues and, in doing so, re-priced most everything. I don't know if this will effect the cost in your game or not. If it does, maybe your Sims qualify for a huge tax break? Inheritance? Or, it's their turn to win the lottery?

• The Master suite has a rather private patio with a steamy hot tub included.

• It is mostly Unfurnished - Kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, lighting, carpet, tile, wallpaper, and basic bedroom furniture is included

• Wired for cable/TV

• Invisible alarm systems included (for both fire and burglar)

• All appliances, including the water-heater and AC/heat-pump, are electric

• The color scheme is a bit dated..., but features themed boy and girl bedrooms

• Natural stone and wood floors are featured in the high traffic areas

• Fully remodeled and updated modern kitchen/breakfast bar

• Indoor heated swimming pool with both a standard diving board and a bonus pool slide

• An open, completely finished basement/game-room/craft-room - with a full window of the swimming pool

• Beautiful Maxis-matching Craftsmen-style doors and windows

• Two central skylights

• Nicely landscaped with an eye toward easy maintenance

• Parking slab uses "backwards parking technology" - because it's safer to nose out (instead of backing out) into traffic; and the driver's door is closer to the front door!
