Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: Jenna on May 02, 2007, 03:18:44 am Built this one a while back, but never really liked it that much. I decided to fix it up a bit and post it anyways. It's perfect for a small family, and offers quite a bit of room to grow. Now, onto the sales pitch...
New on the housing market is this rickety old country house; featuring only the finest in drafty windows, squeaky floorboards, weathered siding, and as an extra feature at no cost to you: an overpowering smell of mildew! All this, and not much more, can be yours for the low price of $19,751 simoleans. Why, we even went that extra step to dispose of the corpse of the previous owner! (You did notice how healthy the flowerbeds looked, right?) (http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n283/comicalmuse/Building%20Projects/countrystarter_04/cmuse_cs4_front.jpg) Notes: In my haste, I forgot to include a driveway (and the space for one) when designing this house. However, there's just enough room on the left side of the lot to fit one in. You can also follow a tutorial for curbside parking to squeaze in some parking on the street too. Edit: Here's a link to a tutorial I wrote myself for curbside parking: Sideways/On the Street Parking (http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,24809.msg559498.html#msg559498) I also dug out a basement for future quarters, but as for now it's unconnected to the rest of the house. Features Requires Uni, NL(?), and Seasons 2x3 Lot, Hack Free Price: $19,751 - Mostly Furnished. 2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Bathrooms. Unfinished, unfurnished basement Moderately landscaped, garden included Spacious backyard Custom Content Included - Lafenetre Glass Door, by Windkeeper at MTS2 - Siding, porch tile, wooden column recolor, vines, flowers, and wooden fence by Nengi65 (retired) - Oldwood Lattice in White by Loverat at MTS2 - Wooden Stairs *recolorable* by Numenor at MTS2 - White wooden stair recolor by Numenor at MTS2 - Outdoor Lantern by Numenor at MTS2 - Large Double-Hung Window by Darylmarkloc at MTS2 The not-so fine print: keep it off the Exhange. Otherwise, enjoy! Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: swap on May 02, 2007, 07:35:56 am Nice work!

Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: mstybl95 on May 03, 2007, 08:14:51 am This is a starter!?
*Misty signs up for Muses "Money Management" class Can't believe you really don't like it. I think it's cute...and affordable is even better! I only just realized that my houses are too expensive so when I do start playing my actual game, my starter sim can't live anywhere! lol Oh, and I think seasons broke the curbside parking thing. I've been trying to so it in the series I'm working on right now, but it causes some craziness. Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: friendlyquark on May 03, 2007, 11:20:58 am There is a little icon in the corner of the screen in build mode that tells you just how crazy you are getting with your house. LOL I always watch the price rise with dismay, I cannot seem to build a house for less than 30,000 simoleans. :P I am very impressed by someone who can not only build one for so little, but also make it look so nice, no boxes here! Brava!

Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: Sam the T-man on June 08, 2007, 02:25:42 pm This is great, thanks! Not often I come across a starter that's a) furnished, b) somewhere I wouldn't mind staying for real :)
PS: Love the sales pitch ;) Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: jjjim on July 25, 2007, 07:44:26 am Great house!! Hard to believe it's a starter. Talk about getting "bang for your buck". Thanks

Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: Jenna on July 28, 2007, 06:42:35 pm Hrm, thought I had replied back to this thread! Oopsy. At any rate, thanks, everyone, glad you enjoy this house! And to think, I almost consigned it to the trash bin. Hah.
Abigail, good catch. I thought I had included the link to the one I did in another thread. Anyways, here's the link: Sideways/On the Street Parking (http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,24809.msg559498.html#msg559498) Title: Country Living, Starter Series Part Four Post by: querubin on November 13, 2008, 01:07:51 pm cool house!
