Custom content included: Open Underneath Deck Stairs by crocobaura, one wallpaper by myself
If you want to install the stairs properly, please follow the directions given in the thread linked above. This lot will work just fine if you don't, but you won't be able to select or change the stairs or use them in other lots (they won't show up in the catalogue, which is what the installation procedure is for).
Description:
Country-style starter house with attic and basement, very sparsely furnished for 1-2 sims but with room for more. This is an expanded/modified version of Newbie Road 51 -- I always wanted to make a version with basement, and now with those excellent crocobaurian stairs I can!
1 x double bedroom
2 x bathroom (1 furnished)
1 x kitchen/dining
2 x spare room (empty)
1 x basement (empty)
Basics included: lights, toilet, bathtub, fridge, kitchen sink, phone, trash can, smoke detector, bookshelf. NO burglar alarm. The little niche in the middle of the top floor can easily be made into another bathroom if you need one.
This is designed to work for everyone: does not require any EPs as it was made with Numenor's BaseGameStarter (check it out if you haven't already), tested in Seasons for weatherproofness, has enough room for driveways in front of the house if you have NL. Can easily be tweaked into a Bay Tree Drive lot if you add a fence and plunk down some alley trees.
This house has been used in a remodelling contest hosted by htlovescats -- here are the results:

I find it amazing to see all those different results people came up with, all of them using the exact same house to start with. Thanks for the links, Amy!
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.
Lot Size: 3x2
Lot Price: 19.955§

Install Instructions
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).
- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
