Victorian Cottage
I saw a cute Victorian cottage here at Victoriana.com and wanted to duplicate it. Although my model is much more spartan and, of course, had to be adjusted for the game, I like how it turned out. Most of the houses I build are bland Victorians as they're the houses I've lived in and they're the houses I love :P

Sorry the back view is overexposed and the front view is dark. I've yet to get the hang of Sims lighting.
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 1.5
Lot size: 3x3
Price: 22,186
I put a shower and a toilet in the upstairs bath; my sims never wash their hands anyway. The large room to the right can be used as a master bedroom or a study. It's been thoroughly playtested and the only problem I had was toddlers passing out on the upstairs landing and clogging the traffic. The landing can be enlarged easily, but I liked having a huge bedroom.
If you delete the plants and strip the walls you can probably get it down to a starter home. After using it for nearly an adult life stage (however many sim days that is) the price went down to around 18,300.
It comes unfurnished with only one piece of custom content: the wood floors by Holy Simoly. I have all EPs up to Freetime except Bon Voyage and no stuff packs. Whether or not they are all necessary is beyond me.
