fuzzyspork | Beach Starter Homes (Reply)

I was 20 years old when my husband and I got married. Just starting out in life we had nothing but some beat-up old hand-me-down furniture, a beat-up old hand-me-down car, and big, bright dreams about the future. We decided we were going go live wherever we wanted to, and we unanimously decided that we wanted to live on the beach. So we drove to Florida the day after our wedding, and quickly found out that rental properties on the beach are not cheap! But we eventually found a one room, ramshackle little place that was in eye-shot of the Gulf that we could just barely afford. And it was heaven. Sand spur and palmetto bug infested heaven, but whatever. /boring back story

I decided I wanted to recreate our first place on the beach in TS2 and in the process ended up making two more beach-themed starter lots. So here they are for download! They are 1x1 lots, fully furnished (cc-free, though created using the Ultimate Collection), and each one contains all the basic nessecities as well as all the basic skill-building tools. Made for a single sim who is just starting out, or as a cheap vacation home. Click the spoiler link below each image for more photos, information, and download links.

The Beach Cottage

This can accommodate a double bed with the removal of the screen, moving the easel outside, and reorganizing the other furniture. Comes with 5 vegetable garden plots.

The Beach Shack

This is the one inspired by our first rental place! One room living at it's finest. :P Except for our furniture being completely different, and there being a tiny closet where the dining table is, this is really close to the original layout. Even the bathroom sink in the living area, which we also had to wash dishes in!

The Beach Trailer

This one has the luxury of a separate bedroom! Sims actually sleep rather well on the hammock, so two Sims could theoretically live here at the same time.
