Favorite Starting Lot?

I normally don't start with a single Sim. I get bored too quickly unless I have a full boat, so to speak. As for the lot it all depends on what family I'm starting with. If it's a single Sim I'm usually doing the Pinstar Legacy Challenge and the lot is dictating by the rules of the challenge.

ETA: Otherwise, I need a 64 X 64 lot. I build big, which some don't like, but I'm cool with that. For me I just need to be able to maneuver the camera to get just that right shot. I like to be up close and personal.

I used to go with Streamlet Single, but now it's Daisy Hovel for every new save file I start up. I'm not much of a builder, so I appreciate a decent starter house with plenty of space to gradually add on to. It's also in between the garden, river, and Sylvan Glade tree, so any of the interesting parts of the neighborhood are easily within arm's reach.

Probably the Sam Mushuno apartments, especially the Needs TLC ones at 21 Chic Street or Culpepper House. Tried the gremlins one recently for a change but found it too much…

Almost always a small low in Willow Creek or Oasis Springs.

It depends on my sims but probably Crick Cabana or Streamlet Single in Willow Creek. I rebuilt all of the lots in all of the worlds through San Sequoia for my save. Foundry Cove is the only starter lots with starter prices in my save. Plus, I like those houses. They're simple but nice, If I do say so myself :).

It depends on the sim and his or her back story. A lot of my sims start out in Henford on Bagley in the countryside.

I usually use cheats, as I want to see all aspects of the game before my time is up, but on occasion, if I want to play a scenario and not use cheats, with a new sim, I like James Turner's starter home in Snow Escape; I think it's 2-4-3 Wakabamori in Mt. Komorebi. It's clean, cool and quite sexy for a single or a young couple.

I'll either bulldoze 6-4-1 Hanamigawa in Mt. Komorebi, or use the empty Mid-Nowhere lot in Windenburg.

About 50/50 either the Willow Springs empty lot across the street from the BFF household or the Windenburg empty lot next to the Fyres household. Occasionally either the empty lot in Glimmerbrook or the bottom left in B. Bay.

Last year I was doing a legacy challenge where each generation has to begin young adulthood in a starter home in a different world from previous generations. The founder was in Daisy Hovel and I agree with those of you who say it's a great starter home. I also liked playing a starter home in Sulani, but my favorite of all was Proprietor's Square in the old town neighborhood of Windenburg. I like the vibe of it with cobblestones and old European architecture. It's small to start out, but provides a lot of space to grow. There are usually a fair number of townies milling about, giving it a semi-urban feel. It has fishing and a cupcake stand as neighborhood amenities, which you see in many of the base game neighborhoods, but it also has painting and chess, which you don't. You also have convenient access to a number of community lots.
