Is there any good four bedroom family houses?

[ImTheNerd]

So, in my near two years of playing Sims 2, I havent been able to find a good four bedroom house for a family.

    I have four adults (two couples) and two kids so far. I built a house for them... but I have near to no talent whatsoever building. So in their current house it's three bedrooms, two baths and we're basically suffocating in walls. There is no room at all to free roam (dramatic) but lately it's been getting quite bad since we have a growing amount of kids.

    If anybody could help me find a house to fit my household it would be greatly appreciated! xx

Moved to WCIF.

There are lots of various houses at MTS. Have you looked there?

There are also a lot of houses at Sunnisims with 3-4 large-ish bedrooms (or more, if you redecorate) - http://www.sunni.us/residential2.htm

Holly Ridge 6 has 4 bedrooms, 6-7 if you can manage without the den, dining room and/or extra living room.

My personal favorite is the 'Holly Ridge 4'. I've chunked in a family of six, where all the kids had their own bedrooms, with a little bit of space left over when I'd just moved some junk around. I also did a little wall shuffling to make it fit some special needs, recently making one of the bedrooms into a laundry room when the oldest moved out, and converted the nursery into a room for the next-to-oldest (which was overdue, since I've just pretended that was her room for a very long time. Technically, I just used a copy of the house, because several of the rooms needed some redecorating, and I didn't have the heart to get rid of the old outlay...). I've also managed to squeeze in a family with seven kids and a cat, although a few of them had to share (quite spaceous) bedrooms. It also works quite well as a story/picture set. A few awkward angles at times, but I've learned to work with that.

That is freaking amazing! Thank you so much, I would have never found the website by myself. xx Happy Simming

Glad I could help.

Just a little hint - use the "reply" button instead of the "quote" button, unless you want to address a specific part of the post. It makes less clutter in the topics (and less confusion - I in particular have a bad knack of editing my posts about a hundred times before I'm happy with them, and happened to be in the middle of that when you posted)  .

Sorry, I'm a noob to this website so I didn't see the reply button.... My bad! xx

No worries . Just thought it might be nice to know, since you're new to the site. When you're new there are lots of buttons to press and even more places to put your posts, and it's easy to pick the 'wrong' one.

My standard house configuration for playing is a one story (so I can see all my Sims all the time), 11 tile deep by 16 tile wide (somewhat boring) creation. It has four 4x4 corner bedrooms, two 3x4 bathrooms and an 11x8 central living area for kitchen, dining, and skilling. A mostly unfurnished version of it can be placed on a small, medium, or large lot and purchased for less than the 20,000 simoleans granted to all beginning Sims. This configuration can have 3 single beds or one double bed in any bedroom so it could sleep up to 12 Sims (and even more if you have bunk-beds custom content).

I have pictures and a discussion of it in my blog at BackAlleySims if you want to know more about it. (BAS contains adult content so I cannot provide a link to it. It is free but registration and age validation is required.)
