Title: Starter a la Jersey
Post by: aelflaed on July 20, 2007, 01:57:04 am
Greetings!

Coho Cottage (Basegame)

This little red cottage is based on house requests by Jersey441. The outside of the house is from her most recent request (see pic below), but I have altered the floorplan, with her designs in mind, to make a convenient layout with space for the family. The house is unpretentious, but will accomodate four comfortably, and six if they don't mind snuggling up.

Lot Size 2 x 2
Price $19, 943
Kitchen furnishings only
Combustion Stove
3 Bed, 2 bath.

Description:

The house is decorated in reds and light woods, with white accents. The kitchen contains a fridge, stove, sink and cabinets. Otherwise, the house is unfurnished apart from a combustion stove, phone and some basic lighting.

The garden contains a no-care shrubbery, with room for gardeners to express themselves. A front porch, surrounded by flowering bushes, welcomes visitors.

The entry door opens onto a parlour, warmed by the pot-belly stove. A door leads into the hall. On one side of the hall is the master bedroom and bathroom; on the other are the stairs. Straight ahead, archways lead into a generous country kitchen and into the family dining room, which boasts a bay window. The kitchen door opens onto a yard with space for swings or a vegie patch.

In the attic, two bedrooms share the landing with a dormer bathroom. Each room is large enough for two single beds if required, and knocking out one wall would open up the landing space for a sitting area.

Notes:

The stairs are built using a dummy level, so it will take an extra click to change floors.

If the price is steep for starting families, sell the potbelly, or use cheaper kitchen counters. But you probably have custom furniture that will cost less than the Maxis stuff anyway.

If you want the red quilt bedding seen in the screenshots, it was made by Catlily (the rest of the set is nice, too). The site seems to be no longer maintained, but it works.  http://www.coolbits.com/sims/objects.htm

Enjoy! And please report any issues.

Thank you for that link to the wallpaper too. I am doing a house now and I needed wallpaper like that in green.
