my parents: don't be silly, you're perfectly Normal! anyway when you were little we thought you were going to be a ballerina because you loved walking around on your toes so much :)

Day 3: Four fully-furnished starter tiny homes at varying budgets!
Most starter homes are meant to be blank canvases, but I wanted some that already had personality so you could jump right into playing. I was also inspired by “smallest home possible for X Sims/Y budget-” YouTube videos for TS4 and wanted to try it in TS2! Edit: I forgot to mention- as usual, these are CC free.
§20k Starters for up to 8 Sims
The first two are both your average 20k starter designed to house large families. The blue house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is furnished for four Sims by default, while the red house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is furnished for eight Sims (!) by default.
Both have a whole 10x10 worth of backyard space, because that's kind of important when things are so crowded - but if you want to shave off even more space or money, the actual houses are built such that the lots can easily be shrunk with the Lot Adjuster to just 10x10 total.
§19,650 - 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom
§19,952 - 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom
Both lots have the same downstairs layout, while the red house has a smaller upstairs landing to facilitate an extra bedroom. By default, the red house assumes two baby/toddler residents, but you can sell both cribs and the potty to afford two more beds whilst staying under-budget.
The back yards are half-”paved” in free-to-own terrain paint in preparation for any outdoor furniture you might want to place. I recommend making use of neighbourhood decorations for free landscaping! Obviously they look boxy and a bit funny on their own, but they look good placed in a row, or squeezed into a small space in an already-populated suburb.
BE AWARE that neither house includes burglar or fire alarms/sprinklers; however, the blue house will leave you with enough Simoleons to afford both. You could also choose to buy enough supplies for a cat and/or a dog with the budget left over.
The staircases have been placed with Nopke’s mod which allows Sims to pass underneath spiral stairs, functionality which should stick even if you don’t have the same mod (unless you buy new stairs). However, the house still functions even if Sims can’t pass underneath the stairs.
The little 2x1 space by the back door ended up being quite useful in such a tight layout, especially the 4-bedroom, like so:
But if you use an open staircase mod, feel free to consider this alternative layout:
§10k Starter for Single Sim or Couple
This one is perfect for newcomer Sims saving up for a bigger house, retired Elders who want to leave the family estate to their adult kids, or frugal Sims who simply have no desire to start a family.
§9,919. The layout is not so large as to feel lonely but not too small that Sims can’t entertain a guest or two. No backyard to this one - it’s a true 1x1 lot.
§2k Shelter
And the ultimate budget challenge - trying to make a decent shack for Sims under 2k. I actually love how it turned out; it looks so cute and cottage-y from the outside and feels so cozy and safe on the inside.
§1,956. No shower, but Sims can sponge bathe in the sink if they get desperate. The toilet is outside but that’s honestly preferable in such a small space. Most of the walls are actually made from roofing to keep the price down but the house is fully weather-proof.
This looks a little silly - but it works! Sims can access the toilet through the cutout provided under this extra roof. Put some neighbourhood deco trees around for privacy and for the woodland fairy cottage vibes. This lot was mostly just a fun challenge, so it’s not super practical, but I do think it could be useful for down-on-their-luck Sims who need a place to crash in a hurry.

Valicer Not-Incorrect Quotes, Back To Random Stuff With No Theme
Alice: [comes into the living room]
Smiler: [is lying facedown on the carpet]

Smiler: [sitting next to her, bright yellow eyeliner finished, applying a soft purple eye shadow]
Alice: [looks over at them, admiring their technique] You're much better at this than I am.
Smiler: Hey, I've had a lot more time to practice. No fun trips into "supervised hospitalization" for me.
Victor: [from over by the closet, encouragingly] I've always thought your makeup looked nice, Alice.
Alice: Thank you, but still. [fiddles with the eyeliner pencil] I wish that I could just pop it all onto my face with a thought like I do in Wonderland. That'd be so much easier.
Smiler: Yeah, tell me about it. [finishes up and looks over at her] But as we're not in Wonderland...want some help?
Alice: [hands them the eyeliner pencil] Yes please. Just no bright neon colors.
Smiler: [joking pout] You're no fun.

Alice: [kisses his cheek] We get it.
Smiler: [kisses his other cheek] One day at a time. [grins] Though what I'm really looking forward to is smudging that makeup later.
Victor: [blushes harder]
Alice: You get makeup all over the pillow cases, you're washing them.
Smiler: Fair trade.
