Title: 02 Apartment Lane [NL] - Four houses, just over 50.000
Category: Lots & Housing > Residential

Cost: 50.943
Lot size: 4x3
Households: 4

Nightlife expansion required.
Custom content: 2 x Wallpaper, by myself

Description:
4 small and cheap row houses. Two houses are furnished, the other two only contain plumbing and some basic fixtures. Every house has a little garden, a front porch, and a basement; six driveways included. Some landscaping/decoration.

Each house has

1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom / spare room
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living room

Basic appliances included: lights, toilet, bathtub, fridge, kitchen sink, phone, burglar alarm, smoke detector, trash can, bookshelf. House 1 (leftmost) also has a small pool, house 2 a dart board.

Expandability: The basements can be much enlarged.

Recommended hacks: You need to assign the doors somehow so that your sims know which apartment is theirs. I think if you have OfB you can use the locking doors funcionality for that, otherwise get hold of Inge Jones' lockable doors or access management system (formerly simlogical.com) or use the "Smart Door" hack by tunaisafish (untested by me, but seems to work nicely + is well-maintained). I also like to use Inge's Mortgage/Rent shrubs for this kind of house.

Note:
If you get an "expansion pack data required" error upon installation, use Clean Installer instead of the Maxis one. Apparently this is a known issue (not specific to this download), see this thread describing the problem and this post (daysies) explaining the workaround.

Thanks:
For the extra trashcans and mailboxes on this lot, I used this useful collection (229 in-game objects, by frillen).

Enjoy!

When I actually play the game (which is rare, all my time is spent making things. LOL!) I use a Neighborhood that 90% of the houses are yours.
