Backdoor Lane 32 -- Children's home

Nightlife and OfB required.
No custom content.

Description:
For 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 32
I made this a children's home, because I needed one (is this the right term at all? I mean a place to stay for kids who can't live with their parents), but I believe the building is rather versatile and would make a nice community shopping center or library too. Or a youth hostel, or a clinic of some description, with the bedrooms upstairs ... and with a roof terrace on top of the side wing, that would fit nicely.

Anyhow, children's home it is. The way I would run this is as a residential lot with the owner moving in the kids and having them live there until they grow up (you can also adopt them if you want a very laborious way to make new townies). I haven't accounted for actual family life since I've had foster parents before and with eight kids on their hands they had no time for anything like a private life anyway .. so this isn't really a residential lot in the usual sense, only technically. But if you want things to be more relaxed, you can get rid of the single bedrooms as well and use that space for a small apartment.

Downstairs:
- Kitchen/Dining
- Bathrooms
- Play/Sleeping room for toddlers and babies
- Living room for the older kids (on the other side of the throughway)
- Garden with terrace

Upstairs:
- 3 x single bedroom for the staff
- Shared bedroom and bathrooms for the older kids

No parking, but if you're desparate you can peruse the front lawn or make the garden smaller (Invisible Driveway recommended as always).


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. Extra thanks to Numenor for the Base Game Starter (non-Seasons owners wouldn't be able to use this lot without it).

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.
