Title: Starter Cabin $13,893 Post by: TheDevian on January 05, 2007, 07:12:42 am Here is my contribution for the day.
One of my Only "Starter Homes" It's a 2x2 lot, and almost unfurnished, but there are 2 floors, a (nother underground) garage, 2 bedrooms, a kitchen/dining room, and a living room/den. and lots of room for expantion when the funds and family grows. as it turns out I wound up including, a stair recolor by Numenor, that I was not aware of (no *) untill I exported and ran it in CleanInstaller. The rest of the decor was mine. I used these to keep the cost down as low as I could. I went with a wooden tone and look and there for called it a cabin not a house ;) I need to make more floor and wall coverings to keep the varity going, but for now this is what I have, I felt bad enough including what I have, its hard to keep the costs down. and for some reason I desided to try for the nicest starter home I could. a rather new experiance for me. I am used to making huge houses, on big lots. but not every sim can afford such a thing, at least not at first, and some never. as I said it is mostly unfurnished but you will have over $6000 left to fix it up before you start working. there is also room to put in a bathroom in the master bedroom area or something else if you like =) my idea for that would be like picture 4 (not in the actual house) or if you are single then prehapts turn one of the b-rooms into a hot tub room, or game room, I also considered putting a hot tum on the roof, but will need more stairs for that ;) I just realized that not only did i not put windows but also no lights, but these are not critical and will only help keep your bills lower heh Title: Starter Cabin $13,893 Post by: kathy on January 05, 2007, 04:17:26 pm Oh cute!

I have been using the underground garage alot lately because it's the only way I can connect it to the house and still have a basement(foundation). again if anyone has another idea for how I would love to hear it ;) variety is the spice and all. this is the part of the game I love the best. my dad was a wanna be archetect turned draftsman/engenier so I guess it runs in the family. and to be able to share them with others makes me a happy camper, I live for making people smile 8^D Title: Starter Cabin $13,893 Post by: lewisb40 on January 06, 2007, 12:29:44 pm Great house, thanks for sharing.
