Variations in House Cost for the same file
Silverdrake:
Tch! I have no idea what to put on my uploads to MTS. Seems like putting "somewhere in the range of 130K" isn't acceptable, so I've taken to jotting down every number I can find in the hopes it will be satisfactory.
I considered removing every shrubbery, but I'm not that bored yet.
Emma:
You should know exactly what it costs if you take time to test it first before uploading.
Silverdrake:
Gee, why do you assume I didn't? I use every house I build, tyvm.
KAuss:
When you build a house, the price of the house does not adjust if you move any counters around. The initial placement of it will make it go up the cost of the counter, when you move it, it doubles. So if buy a $250 counter, then move that same counter 3 times after, you'll have incurred $1,000 in costs.
Once I finish building the house, when I exit, then enter the lot again, the price adjusts to what it should be.

I think that's because in build/buy mode it calculates all the gardening and outdoor stuff, and when your sim moves in he doesn't pay for this, so it shows lower price.
I am also a builder and specialize in starters (under 16k). The costs are therefore crucial for me. Right now I can't get to my game until next weekend, but I would love to get this theory confirmed. Will the cost of the gardening (flowers, trees, bushes, stones etc) be deducted from the total cost of the house when moving in a Sim?
Also does anyone have any tips on how to decrease total cost (and make that decrease stick for sharing) so it's possible to add more stuff? I got the tip of moving in and living for one week. Also heard of exiting and re-entering a couple of times, but looking for a faster way. (Would the magic wand work for this?) Not really sure that the price tag on my lots will be the same when other players download the lots.
