Do you include basements and garages when building starter homes (U20K lot & house)

I put basements in any house where it makes sense to do so. Most (furnished) starters I have done recently have been tiny houses, the latest has a basement because it would have made sense for at house of that age to have a cellar. It should properly have a hatch leading to the basement but we don't have that in game, so it just has a ladder going down. It is also a tiny house in Moonwood Mills. I am not a fan of garages on most sim houses because we don't have cars. I only have 3 houses built with a garage and one with a storage shed. Each of these is a place where I have lived or where family has lived. I will use a basement in any build for extra space (skills, playroom, future expansion etc) if makes sense and if I think I may need more space later (Oh no, triplets!), and intend to stay a long time.
