Backdoor Lane 20 [NL+OfB] -- Two houses
Lot Size: 3x2
Households: 2
Played: No
Furnished: No -- basic fixtures only
Nightlife and OfB required.
Custom content included: Invisible Driveway by roddyaleixo, "Double Arches" Fence by naschev
Description:
For sims that are sick of living in the suburbs, Backdoor Lane provides an alternative: a couple of small town lots with a more urban look and feel. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, creating a maze of backyard gardens and interconnected alleyways when placed in a tightly spaced neigbourhood. Most of them work as corner lots as well as facing the street, creating a very different impression depending on how you place them and what's on the lot next door.
Backdoor Lane 20
are two houses on the same lot, a somewhat spiffy one and its much simpler neighbour. Both are unfurnished except for kitchen and bathrooms plus some basic fixtures (lights, alarms, telephone -- what you'd expect when you move into an unfurnished house). Both houses are suitable for up to 4 sims, one of them has a basement (outside access), both have a small garden in front. Parking for 3 cars in the yard next to the house, cars included.
House 1 (left):
2 x double bedroom
2 x bathroom
1 x kitchen
1 x dining/living room
1 x living room
1 x basement
House 2 (right):
1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom (works for 2 single beds too)
2 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining
2 x living room
If you're veeery observant, you'll notice that the front door of the right house is in a different position on the two street side screenshots .. that's because I moved it; the way it's on the floorplan is correct (i.e. I moved it out one tile, to make room for the sink in the downstairs bathroom).
And I've no idea whether anyone but me cares about this, but: this will line up nicely with any Backdoor Lane lot that has a backwards extending bit, see the neighbourhood overview screenshot -- the lot next door is Backdoor Lane 08 and faces the *other* street (going off the one that this lot is on); the distance from curb to facade is exactly the same on both lots. Yes, I'm planning things like that =).
Thank you:
This collection (frillen) as well as this one (loba) and that one (windkeeper), the mini lots by Andi8104 and the ones based thereupon (MaryLou) have been very useful in making the Backdoor Lane neighbourhood. Thanks for making them available, as well as for the driveway and my favourite fence =).
Please don't PM me with neighbourhood terrain requests (look in the Neighbourhoods section instead), downloading issues (I can't help you -- look in Site Issues, Q-XPress forums etc), or Build Mode questions (general questions go here, lot specific questions in the d/l thread). Thanks.
