Backdoor Lane 50 -- Fake Rowhouse -- City Starter

Requires NL.
Custom content included: Two recolours by myself, and frillen's Invisible Driveway as a separate file (put it in your Downloads folder before attempting to play this lot).

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.

With the release of LotAdjuster 1.1, it's finally possible to build almost-real row houses. This is how I always wanted Backdoor Lane to look like. Here's a tutorial on how to build row houses like this one: Fake row houses


Backdoor Lane 50:
City starter on a 1x2 lot, furnished for 1-2 sims with room for more. Kitchen, dining, living and bathroom on the ground floor, another living area and three bedrooms upstairs, empty basement. One driveway in the backyard, car not included.

1 x double bedroom
2 x single bedroom (empty)
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen
1 x dining
1 x living room
1 x basement (empty)

All basics included, no extras. Unannoying basement windows. Playtested for a couple days in Base+NL with no hacks, no crashes or problems found.

Please note: If you want to make structural changes to this lot, be aware that the last two tiles from the edge are unbuildable in exactly the same way as on all other lots, which includes the outermost tiles of the house in this case. You should be able to modify all inside walls since they're perpendicular to the lot edge, but not the left and right outside walls (parallel to the lot edge), the "fake" front and back walls, the roof, stairs, half walls, foundations, or floor tiles on level 1 and up. However, you can *delete* all of that -- so in order to use this house at the end of a row, you can just remove the bits of fake wall on one side and the last tile of roof .. it should look quite OK then.

This lot has been shrunk with LotAdjuster 1.0.0.13. See here for more information:
