Here's what I did with the Shotgun Style house in a long ago game. At the time, I had only Generations, Ambitions, and Town Life Stuff. I enlarged the house as the family grew. I started with a young adult with a child aged daughter. After the daughter's high school graduation, the daughter adopted a girl at the child stage. As each succeeding generation graduated, each in turn also adopted a child aged daughter.
This was shortly after the update that allowed us to customize lifespans. I had set a lifespan of 156, with 2 sim days equivalent to 1 human year and a 78 year lifespan, and set the length of the stages to match the corresponding human life stages, as I interpreted them at the time. My goal for this family was to find out how many generations I could get into the family before the matriarch died of old age.
At this point, there were four generations. The matriarch of the family, Faith, was a self-employed writer. Her daughter, Hope, was in the science career. The granddaughter, Charity, was a self-employed painter. The youngest, Justice, was in high school.
Here's the house - the pond is stocked with fish that Hope had caught. Her daughter and granddaughter learned to fish there.
Hope's garden:
The ground floor of the house - As you can see, I didn't just expand the house, I moved, deleted, and added walls.
Kitchen
Living Room
The study, where Faith did her writing:
The Bathroom
The end of the hall between the study and bathroom was the perfect place for the children's toybox and costume chest.
The upstairs – As you can see there, are four bedrooms, but only three are in use at this point.
