Thak you for are all your feedback! However when I say that the sideways garage works, I mean that it's not just for show. Basically what happens is the sim get's into his car and suddenly he is in the street, you don't get to see him back out. Great for when you need to get to work in a hurry! The regular facing garage is the only one that truly works. But the whole house functions fine.

And just curious, would you like me to keep the custom content out and just show you what I used? Or would yall like it included?

P.S. My next project includes getting two sideways garages to face each other, when I first trid I thought it wouldn't work, but just thought of a way it could work, keep your eyes peeled in the next few days!
P.S.S Didn't work.

Well, although sideways garages don't allow animations, the impression we have looking at the sixth pic is that you got it somehow, as there's a car entering the lot and turning left to the garage door.

About the furniture, for all I know people like to see the CC you used in the house AND the option to dl the furnished version as well. The proportion usually is 1/3 of the dls for unfurnished versions and 2/3 for the furnished.

Oh that, I just put the car like that for decoration to, add a sort of balance to the pic, I guess I should put a sort of disclaimer in the the descripition of the home.

so do you mean the suv is a decorative object or is it a regular working car? If it's a regular car, how did you put it diagonal to the street? I already know how to make the garage/driveway parallel to the street, but not diagonal

It's a lovely house by the way :3

It's a working object, I used a cheat (booProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true) to turn it diagonal. But it will work and function.

I didn't use this tutorial, I actually learned from shrekheatherbelle, but this should still show you how.
