Thanks for these! I can't build a starter to save my life! I've tried, I've never been able to build one under 30.000
I couldn't do it either for a long time. I'm not good with budget, neither with the Sims nor in real life. (Thanks for my husband, he helps me organizing or gives me strict look, when I glance on a pair of beautful shoes... )
Anyway. Someone told me once a simple trick. Buy the cheapest of everything existencial for the Sims and place it somewhere on the lot. Like bed, toilet, shower, sink (they can go with one sink), fridge, stove (or grill or both) couch, dining table, two chairs. And then you will be surprised how much money you have left to build and decorate. It did the trick for me - now I have a much better feeling for the budget and how to make it feel, as if I could stretch it a bit.

@jhgkjhgkjh This is actually a very good idea! I'm gonna try this on my next starter build and see what I can come up with. Thanks for leaving this tip here!
Each of your starter homes are very nice! @ModernxArchitect It is a challenge to build starters with the reduced budget, and you have done these homes very well! Very nice exterior designs. The flowers look pretty along the edges of the front of Modern Starter Home.
Thanks @elanorbreton that's one of my favorites too!

Hmmm, very strange. I had tried that name and nothing came up for it. I just tried again and it gave me an 'oops' message, so I will give it another go tomorrow.

Hello @elanorbreton
Simmers are having issues with the Community section of the Gallery. They are finding it hard to access items on it. It may be best to try later on, when the issues may be fixed,
The Gallery is back up and running!
Also, I made a new modern starter today.
Item Name: Everything's Symmetrical
The title is a play on words of the title of a short story Everything's Eventual by Stephen King.
Cost Including Lot: $19,873
It is great that the gallery is working again! Everything’s symmetrical is a great starter home ! ModernxArchitect ::) It is nice the type of windows that you have used in the build. Very nice light filled living room for sims to enjoy the sunlight coming in through the windows whilst sitting resting on the sofa watching tv.
It is very nice starter home

This A-Frame starter is simple and affordable. Great for a single sim or new couple saving for their dream house.
Bedroom is located in the basement, so room to expand w/o changing the main structure.
