The Vauxhall

Around where i live you see alot of homes with big arches that lead to back alleys. mainly these are homes built by main roads or where the back of the house is not accessible the purpose of these are so you can take your bin from the back of the house too the front of the house without much fuss, many times they are shared between two homes and more often than not they have a gate and sometimes even a door (there is a street behind me where they are all disguised with regular doors so it looks like there are more houses than in reality) so that unwanted visitors cannot access the back of the house.
Mostly these houses are terraced with a house on either side.
The Vauxhall is my attempt at making a home in this style, only the arch leads to a patioed garden not an alley.

Ok so this is a 2 bedroom two bathroom family home. there's a small yet cosy living room.



Kitchen/Dining


A small room for a child or if like me you like yours sims childless it would make a great anything room. I tried to make it not too girly but not too boyish and childlike without being over the top cute. so its yellow.. (when i tested the lot i did have a boy in this room but he was swiftly shipped off to boarding school cos i got tired of him screaming at me) there is s amll bathroom next door with a rubber ducky and some bubble bath for your submarine adventures.


and a nice sized master room, with attached master bathroom


ok technical's:
the lot is built on a 15x10 lot
price furnished 42.390
price unfurnished 25.187
I have play tested this the original plan caused alot of shouting and arm waving and general grumbling from my sims so i have done alot of work to make many adjustments so the lot is accessible. i originally centered the dining table to the half wall over looking the kitchen but this caused a tantrum so it is slightly off center but it works and doesn't cause any obstruction.
the units i placed all along the back wall under the stairs (it looked really nice and posh) but sims wont use stairs with stuff under them.
the living room was originally 1square longer and the stereo was placed on units by the shelf but this made it so my child sim couldn't use the stairs. the stereo works fine where is and sims can dance ect without issue,
I wanted the bedroom to have room for drawers as well as the chair and bookcase so i shaped it round the stairs. this causes no stairs issues and still give the bedroom the larger look. the bed is accessible from both sides.

Custom Content:
Ok the units i used in the living room (which i feel gives it an ikea vibe) and else ware in the house are Calibri Versatile Bathroom Set by Morphead
Also I used the shag texture from Carpet Love - 8 Essential Styles by Purplepaws

Game content:
the stuff i used for this is mostly Pets and Generations items so you will need these is you want it to look like the pictures.
There is ambitions content too so you will also need that to play the lot.
the BBQ is from Outdoor living (again tho if you don't have this and are ok to use another BBQ it's not imperative)
I have used a couple of items from Supernatural 1or2 pictures and a planter but again these are not necessary just decorative.
and there is a nectar rack just behind the half wall and a couple of ornaments that are from world adventures again not a necessity.
Also a few decorative items from late night

Lot Size: 1x2
Lot Price: 42.390
