Thanks, @pronterus ! Watching Sims swim in the suspended pool through the glass is kind of fun.
And now from the sublime to the ridiculous (somewhat ;) ) here is a starter house I finished today. I started with a photograph and floor plan from tinyhouse.com and did my best to replicate while staying under §18,500 so that with the lot, it would be under 20K. The interior design is serviceable, but I think the exterior architecture is a little more interesting than the typical box.
