The House:

The entrance to the house goes directly from the large porch into the living room, where an arch leads past the fireplace to the eat-in kitchen. A long hallway on the right leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and is large enough for a desk and chess set. The nursery is conveniently located between the kitchen and master suite, with doors to each. There is also a powder room next to the front door.

Access to the attached garage is through the kitchen, which also has double doors to the back yard. The garage and optional basement are roughed-in, for future use. The lot is small, but fully landscaped, with easily-playable views from the front of the house.

The Series:

Rise Up is a series of matching modern starter-furnished one-story houses on 3x2 lots. Each one was inspired by a real floor plan, but modified to fit on a small lot, simified, and redesigned with a modern exterior. Choose between a ground level home or the same house on a foundation with a basement.

Homes in this series are meant to be the next step up from a starter. Rooms are reasonably-sized. Furnishings are minimal and starter-style to keep costs down. There are no extraneous items like pictures and sculptures, although skill items are available. You can move your family in and have everything that you need, or consider the existing furnishings to be placement suggestions and upgrade to your liking.

Technical Details:

Some pets cannot navigate 2-click stairs. If you intend to play a family with pets, you might want to use the ground level lot.

There is no room for a functional driveway at the front of the house. If you wish to add a driveway inside of the garage, you will have to place the driveway extension piece using the "moveobjects on" cheat.

The basement has two columns which can prevent your basement from flooding on low-lying ground, depending upon your EPs. Please see http://www.modthesims.info/showthre...840#post3579840 for details. If you'd like, the columns are easy to remove using the foundation tool, and the ground inside of the columns can be flattened using the level terrain tool.

The roof is a "foundation roof", created with inexpensive foundation walls. If necessary, these walls can be removed using the foundation tool.

The lot price shown is for the basement version of the house. The ground level version is slightly less expensive, at $46,553.
