Update, 2007-03-02:
Replaced the zip -- anyone who downloaded this before and got an empty sims2pack, try again. See this thread for more info.
Update, 2007-01-10:
Reuploaded to fix a (purely aesthetic) glitch: the basement windows would sometimes not show properly (or to be exact, the windows would, but the hole in the wall would be missing), this was caused by the pavement in front of them as I now realized. No need to redownload, it's faster and easier if you simply remove the pavement yourself if it bothers you (only the tiles *directly* outside the window, i.e. the non-flat ones).
Description:
For your sims that are sick of living in the suburbs, Backdoor Lane provides an alternative: a couple of small town lots with a more urban look and feel. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, creating a maze of backyard gardens and interconnected alleyways when placed in a tightly spaced neigbourhood. Most of them work as corner lots as well as facing the street, creating a very different impression depending on how you place them and what's on the lot next door.
Backdoor Lane 02
are two houses: one for a single sim or couple with a store downstairs (currently a toy store), and one for a family of three that has a little factory attached. The basement belongs to the factory, as well -- suitable to enslave your neighbors in the robot manufacturing industry, for example (you could also combine the houses and sell the robots right next door).
House 1:
1 x double bedroom
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living room
1 x store with bathroom and a small back room for coffee breaks
House 2:
1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom
1 x bathroom (toilet only!)
1 x kitchen
2 x dining/living room
Note that house 2 has been built in an era where indoor bathrooms weren't a common commodity yet ... luckily, there's a shower room for the factory workers that this family can resort to. I haven't attached a screenshot of that (8 pics is the limit), but the upstairs part of the factory is really simple anyway: one office/storage room, and the bathroom (2 showers + sink + toilet).
Both houses are fully furnished if you download the "furnished" version. The "unfurnished" zip is just that, and slightly deprecated as well (post-playtesting), which makes it quite the bargain for your not-so-rich sims.
Thank you:
This collection (frillen) as well as this one (loba) and that one (windkeeper), the mini lots by Andi8104 and the ones based thereupon (MaryLou) have been very useful in making the Backdoor Lane neighbourhood. Thanks for making them available.
Please don't PM me with neighbourhood terrain requests (look in the Neighbourhoods section instead), downloading issues (I can't help you -- look in Site Issues, Q-XPress forums etc), or Build Mode questions (general questions go here, lot specific questions in the d/l thread). Thanks.
