Default Best basic starter home

This is my first time posting a challenge, so I hope I am doing it right!

This is a challenge for the best, most original basic starter home, to make it more challenging...you can only use Sims 2 deluxe, no EP's or SP's (apart from nightlife as it comes with deluxe...why am I telling you this? LOL)

It must be a starter home for a single sim, as modern and roomy as you can make it for under 20,000 simoleans. Furnished or unfurnished, as long as the bathroom/s and kitchen is present.

Prize?? Um....I dont know

I will use it and play it?

Ooops should have given a time scale! Lets say 2 weeks from today (as I wont be playing Sims 2 for a while once I get my hands on a shiny new Sims 3)

It doesnt matter how many bedrooms or bathrooms, but it will be for a single Sim

Ok lets take off the EP and SP restrictions then

Hi, i'm sorry but those links dont seem to work

When linking from photobucket, if you mouse over the pic you want to show, you will see a box pop up with some options, click on the "IMG code" and the text will be highlighted, then right click and copy, then paste that into the thread. That should be all you need to do.

I look forward to seeing them! x
