I live in Virginia (USA), an area rich in heritage and history.  And farmhouses.  Especially in the rural areas (such as the one I live in), old farmhouses are a dime a dozen.  I wanted to recreate that for the Sims, the history combined with just enough modern convenience to make it comfortable.  Wink

The rooms are small, I know.  This is to preserve the authentic, old farmhouse feel.  (Most of these houses were originally hand-made by the very family who was going to live in it, who also gathered their own material and supplied their own labor and everything, so naturally it isn't a monster).  This also has the added benefit of making it cheap enough to be a starter home.

You need Seasons and Nightlife (it includes a driveway).  Other than that, you should be fine.  The absolute worse thing I can think of is that I used a wall or floor that was in one of the other EP's, in which case the game will put another wall up.  If you're like me, the first thing you do is go in and put up your own walls and floors anyway, lol.  I painted it a nice, earthy yellow because Maxis didn't make any good whites.

Title: Old Farmhouse
Size: 2 x 2
Stats: 3 bed, 2 bath
Furnished: no
Price: §18,210

You need: Roddyaleixo's 'Invisible Driveway & Extensions' found [here]

That should be it!  Wink  And yes, those are plots for planting in the back, ten of them.  And that pond is deep enough for fishing.

Edit: okay, so I believe that I didn't make it clear before, so I'll clear it up now.  This house comes with no furniture.  No phones, no lights, no motor cars.  The truck is just there to show you where the driveway is (it being invisible and all), the rest is to give it an actually lived in look.  It does, however, come with the plants.  Basically, what you see in that first screenshot is what you get.

Wow, all that for under 20,000 simoleons. Cool, I guess they have to sell the truck for furniture. LOL. Very nice, I love it.

LOL, yeah.  The truck doesn't come with, I just put that in there for some of the screenshots so you could see where the driveway was.  I suppose I should have made that a little more clear ...
