#spring hill duplex

After some experiments with the LotAdjuster tool to make “connected” houses, I came up with these duplexes, modelled after homes that I have seen throughout areas of Pennsylvania. The houses look nearly identical from the front, but inside they are styled for different types of sims. Read on below to see more details.

The left house is intended for an old or young couple, and comes in around $80,000. It’s furnishings are a little more expensive than its counterpart, and are intended to be warm and cozy. There is a sunroom at the back of the house that I imagine was added sometime after the original build. The bedroom, bathroom, and a little study are upstairs, and an unfinished basement currently serves as a woodworking area but can be finished and turned into living space or additional bedrooms. A small backyard completes the house. 

I visualized the right home as more of a “rental” house for 2-3 recently graduated sims who can’t afford to strike it out on their own quite yet. The furnishings are cheaper, more colorful, and more youthful. There are two bedrooms upstairs and they share an off-suite bathroom. Another unfinished basement has some gym equipment and has probably seen a party or two. The backyard includes a small garden. 

Custom Content Included

Both lots include a light amount of custom content. I think these items improve the quality of the lot, but it is no deal breaker if you don’t want to install them. These items include:

OFB Story Fence in Whitest Clean by Alias at MTS Open Underneath Stairs by Crocobaura at MTS (NOTE: You need to have the Scriptorium installed. See original post for details) Two Painted Panel Walls by Poppet Breeze Easy Window in 2 tile version by Leefish at MTS Stair Wall Fix by JRW at MTS Chez Moi Upper Cabinet by CTNutmegger at MTS

Totally forgot to follow up with additional pictures of the Spring Hill Duplexes. First up! The left one. As I said before, furnished for a couple (young or old), a little more expensive, and a little more quaint.

And finally additional pics of the right duplex! Coming in around $54,000, it would be a great fit for recently graduated sims looking to live together to save money. I particularly like the small bedroom, and, though I kept it sparse, the basement has a lot of potential for parties or a nicer makeover.
