Page 4 of 63BUILDING YOUR HOUSE- PART IINot only do you want to build your house with the cheapest materials, you want to build it with the fewest rooms possible. Why? Because walls are expensive and will eat into the $20, 000 Simolean budget really fast. Besides, you simply won't have enough money to build a bedroom for everyone. So, like I said, early on in your 8 Sim Challenge, start out with as few walls and rooms as possible when building your house. I know such a drastic measure seems crazy right now, but believe it or not, you'd be amazed at how long 8 Sims can actually live comfortably in a 4 roomed house! EMMA: Four rooms?! Outrageous! And look at that house; my bathroom back home is bigger than this dump! *Ahem.* What my Sims MUST understand is that this arrangement is just for now and that we can always upgrade the house as the money comes rolling in. This 4 roomed house seems cruddy now, but provided everyone works and gets promotions, we can add more stuff to it later on and expand it to my subjects' desires. |
