So are there any plans on an updated awesomespec for houses for Sims 3?
witch:
Just don't go rock collecting. My homeless teen and her child sister had a two bedroom bungalow by the end of the first week. I'll have to try that again. :D
Zazazu:
Starting on spawning on Day 2, gardening instead of having a job, and not moving the donor in until their first two were born helped me keep it small for a good while. They actually were still all living in one crowded room (the rest of the house was skeletal) when they had six kids. Now, at three days to elder, the five bath, four bed + nursery home is completely tricked out. That's the thing. The beginning stages are tougher with Sims3, but the earning curve is generous.

Nothing is truly necessary, but putting a bed on your empty lot is really useful (since I don't think any community lots come with beds--unless you edit them in). Everything else is available elsewhere: showers and toilets in the gym (and in other sims' homes), free food in gardens (or in trash cans if you aren't picky about quality), etc. You can read books in the library to gain skills.
One thing that's really useful, though, is a guitar. You can use it to build up lots of friends very quickly and then visit them and stay over in their beds.
My homeless sim started with just a guitar, and I didn't sell any of the collectibles I found. Instead, she started gardening on her own lot, eventually joined the music career, and built a tiny shack with room for a bed, tub, and toilet inside, just so I didn't have to spend time running to community lots to use the restroom. After a while, she married Don Lothario and built a kitchen and a proper bathroom onto the shack. (And bought a picnic table for dining.) Now, the third generation has just been born, and the house has expanded to a two-story, three bedroom, two bath, sprawling monstrosity with a pool, a garden, and a giant meteor in the front yard.

In addition, if you grab the dining for free lifetime benefit, you won't need a kitchen, either.
My sims still can't eat out, even with the free dining perk. A message comes up saying "Your sim cannot afford to eat here" regardless of how little cash she has on hand.
My legacy family has been consisting solely on birthday cake and harvested fruits.
Their house is a 5-bedroom 1-story house with 1.5 baths at the moment. I'm slowly building it up.

Not only does reading in a library give you skills, you are, in fact, penalized for doing so out of the library, making it purposeless to buy the books to read yourself at home, because doing so carries a penalty.
