Preferrable Houses
witch:
There are half a dozen starter houses on this site that look reasonable and are under 20K.

i love the homes people build, i've downloaded a few ones too, but haven't had the guts to install them..it's been like..almost a year they've cluttered in my computer..
what i look for in a house is bathrooms. haha! yes, lots of bathrooms! can't stand them shooing each other away when one needs to go potty and the other needs to have a bubble bath.
i like an unfurnished house. like gethane, i thrive on boosting their aspiration while going shopping!
ooh thanks cywkes! never really occurred to me to build a small community lot. i'll build one today! with shops and pools and hottubs all in one place! thanks!

BTW, Cwykes, I have your Willow Walk series already. As my sim families expand, I find the houses are easy to expand by adding an upstairs ... they're the kind of houses I look for.
I'm glad you like them... :) you made my day! do you know what they look like in NL - does the river idea work?
I've been thinking about that no20k hack as well....

NB - I recommend you only put one checkout till in the lot, so the number of NPCs is down to 1 and more sims can visit the lot. I also recommend a chess table!

A few more things...
- I tend to download houses on small or medium lots, since I find that it is enough space for me. I dislike huge houses myself, since I find myself at a loss to figure out what to put in each of the extra bedrooms. Depending on how many people are living in the house, I'd perfer 2-4 bedrooms. Usually my families are around 2-5 members each, so room isn't much of a problem... but I'd like one of the bedrooms to be some place where I place things such as canvases, pianos, career objects, all that crap. 2 bathrooms are usually enough for me.
- I like houses with unusual and creative designs. That is why I don't tend to download starter homes, since they tend to plain. I can easily make myself a plain home. The only Maxis-made house I liked was that Modern Artistic home... I forgot the name, but it came standard with TS2. That college house with the pool is also wonderful: I placed it in my regular neighborhood.
- I don't like bumpy or rugged terrain. The flatter, the better. This is mostly because the more rugged the terrain, the more slower it is for me.
