Since the price of Maxis' original house was over $20K (not a "starter"), I didn't worry to much about keeping a budget. So, this make-over - though still sparsely furnished with it's original furniture - has a few added luxuries like a fully equipped kitchen, and extra bathrooms.
Other than adding the driveway/carport, I didn't change the grounds at all. A NOTE about sideways oriented carports: your car will teleport to the street. (You will not see the car-turning-into-the-driveway animation.)
Please scroll through the pictures for details of everything I changed.
This is a clean copy if the lot - no Sim has set foot in it. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's
Clean Installer.
This lot has been play-tested; everything is accessible and in good working order. The phone and a smoke alarm are in the kitchen.There is no burglar alarm.
There is NO CC.
Standard mods I use that are
not necessary nor included - but were probably used whilst building/photo-ing/prepping this house for upload...
I use Moi's
Roof Shader for brighter roofs
Maranatah's
White Wall Top texture replacement
Moo's
Turn On/Off Lights
Menaceman's
Lunatech Lighting Fix
BeosBoxBoy's
no-red-pause-mod
Nopke's
Go Under Spiral Stairs mod for proper spiral stair usage
And, of course, everyone needs Numenor's
CEP and
SEP!
I also use
FRAPs to take in-game pictures, and
PhotoShop to clean/collage said pictures.
And, I highly recommend using gummilutt's
Invisible Medicine Cabinet to add features to any mirror - as per her policy, it's not used or included in this lot.
Lot Size: 4x3
Lot Price (furnished): $66,545
