Thanks everyone!

Thanks! This looks great for primitive lots as well as other houses. Is it one tile or two?

Meet you at the corner for a coffee? Maybe a burger, or a quick game of pool? This tiny little business is the latest venue, and if you're not there, you're not anywhere.

A replica of The Dot from the DeGrassi series was requested, and here it is. My information was limited to the one photo below, so I've invented the inside completely. Also, I can't make the signage, but the requester says they know someone who will. The request thread is here.

Requirements - Uni, NL, OFB.
Lot size - corner 1x1 (was 2x1 originally)

Set up as a coffee bar downstairs, with a BBQ in the alley. Upstairs is a restroom and games lounge, although it's pretty quiet mostly - sims prefer coffee. Just as well, as the direct route to the loo is straight through the dartboard. Nobody has ever been killed, though.

The internal decor is black and red, with snazzy spots all over the wall behind the bar. Sorry, those didn't come out in the photos.

The corner is real. Pedestrian sims will actually use the crossing. The taxi will probably stop in the middle of the intersection, but you know how scary taxi drivers can be. The extra road to make a corner lot was added with thanks to Mootilda of MTS2 for her tutorial, and also for her much labour on the LotExpander.

I don't know for sure, but I expect the game will replace them with maxis modular stairs.

Based on a real dwelling, this townhouse was requested by Jersey441. The request thread is here.

Description:
This sturdy brick building is a little old and ragged at the edges, but still comfortable. The garden is rather overgrown, and the place could do with some re-decorating, as it has been a rental property for some time.

There are living areas on the main floor, three bedrooms upstairs and a cellar underneath. The porched entry opens onto a hall, with the lounge room on the left and a door straight ahead leading to the dining room and enclosed kitchen.

The kitchen door leads to the yard, which has been gravelled for easy maintenance. Stairs at the side of the house lead down to the cellar. The cellar is windowed and paved, and has been partitioned. It could be made into a separate mini-flat if desired.

The top landing, reached from the living room, opens onto two small bedrooms. At the other end is the main bathroom, including a private door to the master bedroom with its attractive bay window.

The current furnishings would suit up to four residents, or purchase the house unfurnished for a bargain price.

Notes for Players:

Requirements - Basegame + OFB
Size - 1x2 Sunnyside lot by me.
Price Furnished - $22, 149
Price Empty - $13, 734

The house has been playtested, but please report anything that does not work. It has been designed for high visibility when played from the front right - check the furnished screenshots.

There is no gate to the side yard, so visitors will not be confused about which doorbell to ring. You can add a gate if you want. All furnishings are by Maxis, and a bookcase, phone and fire alarm are included.

(Update - I have just realised what was looking odd in the screenshots. There should be windows on the diagonal sides of the upstairs bay. They must have vanished somehow. You can easily put them back in if you like.)

Remember to download Beosboxboy's half wall as well as the furnished or empty house.

Crah5h, you could have a driveway, or a house - it's only a little block! The requester didn't ask for a driveway, and people who live in terraces generally have to park on the street. Or take the bus.

If you wanted to be tricky, naturally you could build an underground garage, or build the house above a street-level one. But then it wouldn't be a terrace house.

Glad people like the house!

Fancy a little more privacy than a tenement building, but not really the rustic type? Short on cash? A terraced plot in suburbia may be the choice for you.
 
This modest brick terrace comes in a little expensive for first-home buyers, but is still value for money. Plenty of street appeal here, and room for a few flowers. The side gate offers access to the rear of the house, with a finished path to keep your boots dry.
 
Inside, the lounge and dining areas combine blue accents with neutral tones. The separate kitchen is small but efficient, with dishwasher included to save benchspace, and double entry arches to prevent traffic jams. The paintwork is faded, but the design and structure are top-notch.
 
At the back of the house is a hallway, containing the downstairs toilet, the back door and staircase. Upstairs, the main bedroom has private access to the bathroom, and the second bedroom is ready for guests.
 
Furnished for three sims, phone and alarm installed.

Appleblossom Happy Home has been built in response to a request for an Adoption Centre, by ShiningStarSim, on this thread:
http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=62051

Looking for a new addition to your family? Come to Appleblossom!

The Happy Home is currently run by a married couple, and has beds for four boys and four girls in separate dormitories. No hanky-panky here! Clients are guaranteed that all the youngsters have been raised in the strictest morals.

The pseudo-colonial building is fairly well-kept, but with all those kids around, the paintwork has taken a few knocks. Kids are hell on a garden, too, so there are a few bushes and trees, but not much else. No sign of the apple blossom.

Visitors will appreciate the cool flagstone verandahs surrounding the house, and the large reception area inside the main entry. Matron's office is to one side, and a music room (or extra office) occupies the other front corner. Archways at each side lead to the twin staircases, one for the boys and one for the girls. The halls have been used for dart games, so mind how you go. Behind the reception area is the kitchen and dining room, with access to the back verandah and the yard. Tucked in at the back corners are the downstairs bathrooms, segregated of course.

Upstairs, on each side of the building is a landing, opening onto the recreation room. Toys and books make this a pleasant space for the children to wind down in the evenings (naturally they are not permitted to dawdle in the reception room!). Locked doors from this room lead to a private hall, opening onto the dormitories, and to Matron's bed-sitting room, with ensuite. This arrangement allows the caretakers to maintain their private space, while having instant access the the rest of the building in case of disturbance.

The girl's and boys' dormitories are completely segregated, the only communication being via the public rooms or Matron's suite. Each side has its own bathroom and a separate balcony. There is also the shared balcony accessed from the rec room.

The education of the children is taken very seriously, with piano and painting lessons, and quiet study periods insisted upon. The upstairs landings are equipped with desks.

If you would like to select your new son or daughter from the finest the adoption world has to offer, come to Appleblossom!
(Government fees and charges apply.)


Notes for Players

Size 3 x 4
Price $79, 988
Sleeps 8 - 10 (eight single beds, one double bedroom).
5 bathrooms
Requires Uni

The house has not been playtested, so please report if something is broken.
It was built using Numenor's Basegame Starter Pro.

Appleblossom is designed as an orphanage, but would also do well as a dorm with minor changes. I have not allowed for orphaned infants in the furnishing, but cots and bathtubs could easily be installed.

The yard is not fenced (sorry, forgot that completely), so the kids might run amok in town - maybe you should fence the yard first thing. There is also plenty of yard-room and some nice rolling terrain for landscape artists to use.

Hi Rebecah! These look good, and thanks for making them for basegame. Are they gender-specific, or just girl- and boy- because of their colours?

Requested by tinkerbell3552.
http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=61449

This house requires at least OFB and Seasons. I have all the EPs except Pets and Bon Voyage, so please let me know if I need to list everything else.

Welcome to the Roma!

The Roma has an arresting tower entry, and is spacious throughout. A powder room is situated in the hall, and after freshening up, guests can proceed to the formal lounge or dining room. The lounge boasts a bay window, and is big enough for any party. These rooms are reached through arches, enhancing the flow of the residence.

Another arch from the hall leads to the family areas, with a good-sized kitchen and sitting area. The kitchen opens onto the dining room for convenient serving. To the right, a private hallway leads to the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom.

Returning to the hall, double stairs to the loft prevent traffic jams in the evening. The two upstairs bedrooms each have private access to the loft bathroom, and there is a small sitting area on the landing. Over the garage, a narrow attic is available for storage.

Glass doors from the family room open onto the backyard. There is a patio with space for lounging, and room for swings and a greenhouse if desired.

The garden is tastefully landscaped, but with plenty of scope for the buyer to exercise their creativity. The current plantings are all no-care, and there is a small pond in the back corner.

Notes for Players:

The house is based on this one:
http://www.ivoryhomes.com/index.cfm/Roma-(no-basement)-home-design/?mID=8&homedesignID=146

although the inside is quite different.

Size - 3x3
Price - $50, 620
Partly furnished
4 bedrooms (two double, two smaller)
3 bathrooms
main floor and loft
garage space

The house has not been playtested, so please report if anything is wrong. The optimal playing angle is from the rear, as shown in the screenshots.

As tinkerbell doesn't have NL, I have left the garage unfinished. If you want, add the driveway and garage door, and away you go. Otherwise, use it as a recreation room! There is also space for a second driveway at the edge of the lot, if desired. I've included one picture with the garage in place.

The loft storage space could be expanded over the garage to create more rooms upstairs.

This five-bedroom house was made by private request for stc123. It is based on a real plan, but altered to reduce the size and remove the garage which wasn't needed.

Description:

The house is in Mediterranean style, with lots of windows, stucco finish and cypresses in the garden. The current landscaping is minimal, leaving space for gardens, a pool, swings, whatever the owner desires.

Inside the front door, an office is tucked in at the front, while the formal entertaining rooms are to the right of the foyer. The airy hall leads to a family room, with access to the back yard, and the kitchen is large enough for a full dining suite, nestled in a bay window to view the garden. Beside the kitchen is a powder room for visitors, convenient to the large formal dining area.

Opening off the family room is the master suite.The large bedroom has its own bay window, and walk-through robe with his'n'hers layout, leading to the bathroom. The dressing room is currently set up as a nursery, but dressers could easily be installed if preferred.

Upstairs, the landing space provides an extensive rumpus area for the kids. There are two double bedrooms at the front of the house, and a door onto the balcony. Two single bedrooms are tucked in behind the large bathrooms on each side of the top floor.  

Specs:

Lot size 3 x 3
Price $84, 638.
Basegame
5 bedrooms
3 1/2 bathrooms

"Sunny Cottage" is a family home for those who like thngs compact. The block is small, the house is small. There is no wasted space; everything is within arm's reach.

The house is well-worn, but was built in the days when traditions of sturdy construction were still the norm. The aluminium sheeting is in great condition, and the window frames will be as good as new with a lick of paint!

From the street, the house is charming, with a picket fence, wrap-around verandah, palms and established shrubs.

Inside, the lounge extends towards the rear, with a study nook under the stairs. To the left, an arch leads to the dining area, nestled before a picture window. The attached kitchen is sized for generous country cooking.

At the back of the house is a double bedroom, with space for a cot or dresser. The downstairs bathroom is petite, with a laundry room which could become a separate toilet if desired. The laundry leads out the side door to the garden.

Upstairs, the attic contains a second bedroom, large enough for a double bed. The mezzanine provides a second sitting area, or could be used as overflow sleeping space when guests arrive. There is a small bathroom under the roof.

Specs:

Basegame
2 double bedrooms
2 bathrooms
Lot Size 2x2
Price $19, 914
Barely furnished for two sims, space for six if friendly.


Notes for Players:

This house is very similar to one I have on MTS2. That one is an even smaller house, based on the same plan, but has a private swimmable beach. (Just mentioning it, in case someone wants to take a look, and also to stop anyone saying "But isn't that the same as...?")

This version was made with the beach house idea too, but is more suburban coastal than waterfront.

The house is minimally furnished, with lights, double bed, table, 2 chairs, sofa, shower, toilet, kitchen, phone, fire alarm and bookcase. All by Maxis. The screenshots show the house fully furnished.

This house was made by private request for Jersey.

Requires - Basegame
Lot Size - 3 x 2
Price - $22, 655
4 or 5 bedrooms
2 1/2 bathrooms
Daylight Basement

Description:

This family dwelling has a ground-level entry hall, and a converted garage space suitable for a workshop, home business or guest suite. Or of course, parents could retreat to this refurbished area, end enjoy complete privacy and a luxuriously large bathroom.

Carpeted stairs lead up to the kitchen and meals area, with room for a lounge. This level also contains two single bedrooms and a small bathroom. The original dark browns and whites of seventies decor are still in evidence, but the house has been well-kept and is in wonderful condition.

The kitchen door opens onto the side yard.

The original master bedroom is on the lower floor, with a second bedroom, full bathroom and generous TV room. A tiled corner could host a kitchenette or laundry appliances.

The driveway is gravelled, and low-care gardens surround the house. The block slopes gently.

Notes for players:

The converted garage is not quite big enough for a 'real' car, but if you have NL, there is space to enlarge it (the roof would need to be altered). The gravel can be covered by a Maxis driveway.

The house is minimally furnished, mainly just to show what the purpose of the areas is. All furnishings are Maxis.

All CC should be included. The house has been playtested for around seven sim-days. Please let me know if something doesn't work.
