Sensible Starters | Part One
These lots are all starters: less than $16,500 furnished. I prefer my starters to be big on space and short on furnishings, so I don't have to move my Sims as soon as their household gets bigger. These starters all have room to grow; even the one-bedroom Sherman could easily be renovated to fit in another bedroom or nursery. As a result these are all very sparsely furnished, with everything you need to keep your Sims motives up and nothing more. No interior or rear elevation pictures because there's really nothing to see!
Required EPs
These lots are pictured with content from Showtime, University, and Ambitions. Showtime is really the only important one because I've used the six-pane window in all four houses. I used the fence and track lighting from University, and only the counter from Ambitions.
Custom Content
All lots use the following custom content; the roof specific to each lot is listed separately under the details (no CC included in the download; you need to get these separately if you want them):
- Siding by HugeLunatic

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.
