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

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
