Wow, I love the way you placed those counters in the corner of the kitchen! That's something I'd never be able to come up with :D

Your Modernesque Starter home is great! @Chris2fer03 :) The exterior design shape of it is great! Very nice layout of the interior and it looks very nice how you have the living room area outdoors. I have posted about your nice starter home on your showcase thread.

I'm really bad at making smaller houses, but this one turned out okay. It costs exactly $19,999 when placed on the lot Pebble Burrow. It's completely unfurnished and I'm using it for my $1 challenge, but it's available on the gallery. :smiley:

I tried to make the place look kind of worn out by making the floorboards look ripped up and replaced.

Each of your starter homes are very nice! @Cerrydd :) It is a nice variety of different exteriors of the homes. They all look great! Great layout of the interiors of them. They are very nice homes for sims to start their sims lives in. :)

More great starter homes, nice job everyone! Really cool to see the different ways a 20k budget is used. :) My latest starter is for the sim who prefers space over decor when starting out. Ha! It is on the larger side and has the necessities to live comfortably until the $$ starts coming in. :)

Simple American Starter

3 Bed / 2 Bath
Just under 20k.

ELM TREE RETREAT - $18,355

Working on another starter, I did two others but am unhappy with them so I'm trying to improve them a bit. This is another cabin style build for Crick Cabana in Willow Creek. That lot is next to a little fishing spot so an ideal location. Two bedrooms and one bathroom so this starter has room for a family of four. Covered deck, open plan living and landscaped grounds with a table to enjoy the outdoors.

Just finished building another one :) Something of a hunter's cabin with a lookout tower. I really wish we had more options for stairs :(

I love Elm Tree Retreat, Dippy. I'm so happy to see bigger homes with more than one bedroom. And now I'm having a tough choice deciding which ones to use! @Cerrydd - that's a great looking home, very unusual style.

I'm slowly filling my hoods up with families, and - of course - they are all newly made sims with the minimum amounts of cash. So these lovely starters are proving very useful. Thank you to everyone who is contributing to the thread, you peeps are awesome <3

Your Hunter's Cabin starter looks great ! @Cerrydd :) Very nice exterior design of the home! The watch tower looks great! Great layout of the build. The enlarged rabbit on the footpath look great, and it looks grrat how you have also used the rabbit themed pattern for the interior walls. It looks great how you have placed the plants either side of the front footpath. Nice windows sleeping area in the home. Sims will enjoy looking out through the windows at the outdoors views whilst laying in bed.
