I’ve made these four houses in a similar style so they all look like they belong in the same world; my intention is that they could all be placed next to each other and look realistic and cohesive. I like my starters to not look like starters from the outside—that is, I want them to be pretty and landscaped. And I like to be able to keep my Sim in their starter house for a while—even after I add more people to the household—so while the furnishings are very sparse, there’s definitely enough space to be playable.
I've previously shared two other collections of starter houses. If you'd like to see those, check "Also Recommended" in the sidebar.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
