Title: Newbie Road 43a [NL] - Two-in-one starter house
Category: Lots & Housing > Residential > Starter Homes

Cost: 19.935
Lot size: 2x2

Nightlife expansion required.
Custom content: 1x Wallpaper, by myself


Description:
Expanded version of Newbie Road 43 -- 2 tiny row houses, one unfurnished except for most basic fittings, the other one furnished and expanded to house 2-3 sims with room to spare. This might be useful if you have a very poor sim (or two) and want them to "join household" with another (small) family, but don't like the "same household" part of the deal -- on this lot, they will be just neighbours.

The lot costs less than 20.000 (for both houses together); each house has a small front porch, two driveways included, some landscaping, no decoration. They look very cute if you place a couple of them next to each other.


House 1 (expanded):
1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom
2 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living room
1 x spare room (unfurnished)

Basic appliances included: lights, toilet, bathtub, fridge, kitchen sink, trashcan, phone, burglar alarm, smoke detector, bookshelf.


House 2 (small and unfurnised):
1 x double bedroom
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living room

Basic appliances included: trashcan, phone, burglar alarm, smoke detector.


Expandability: The small house you can expand just like the "big" one -- should be easy, as you can use it as a blueprint.

Recommended hack: Use Inge Jones' keyholder doors as front doors (www.simlogical.com, under Downloads > TS2 > Hacked Doors) or a similar access management system -- otherwise your sims won't know which house is theirs. Don't forget the garden doors (unless you want your sims to water each other's flowers)


Note:
If you get an "expansion pack data required" error upon installation, use Clean Installer instead of the Maxis one. Apparently this is a known issue (not specific to this download), see this thread describing the problem and this post (daysies) explaining the workaround.

Enjoy!
