Thanks very much @eleanorbreton I think its because starters are easier they dont need so much in them and they are a challenge to keep the price down and make them look nice in the gallery.
I just recently started building, and most of my builds have been starters. Here's the latest basegame only starter I've done. The landscaping is a little sparse since I purposely didn't add trees or big bushes fearing that they would get in the way on the small lot.
Title 2BR Stylish Starter
Lot 20x15
2 bedrooms 1 bath
Base price $16,898

2BR Stylish Starter is very nice! @Allears It is great that it is base game only. The awnings over the front door is a nice touch, and the plants look nice either sides of the front steps. Very nice layout of the interior of the home. The blue and white colour scheme gives a very nice look and feel to the home. Very nice windows plant nook! It looks very nice how you have placed the plants there. The butterflies wall print is pretty for Sims to see when cooking meals. The flowers are a nice touch on the dining table. Sims will enjoy listening to radio music whilst dining.Very nice sofa seats sitting nook for Sims to rest and watch tv, with sunshine coming through the windows. The pattened coloured floor rug looks great there. Sims will enjoy sitting at the study desk reading a book. Very nice wall pattterning in the bedrooms.
It is a very nice starter
@Allears lovely little starter, with a great colour scheme.
I tried to find you on the gallery but it is not playing ball this week. If you have a link to your profile, please share so that I can add you to the original thread post.
@Allears really great starter, you packed in a lot for that price. I make a lot of starters and know how difficult that can be.
A plug for @rosemow , her artwork on her gallery page is perfect for a starter because there are pictures for 10.00 dollars, art work can be expensive, so this is really great to download and decorate your home with..and not break your budget.
Thanks so much @brenleedee And thanks for the plug. As a matter of fact, I found her paintings yesterday and went on a shopping spree - can't wait to use some of them in my builds!

Thank you so much @elanorbreton My EA ID is SassiLassi, and my gallery link is in my teeny-tiny signature! (I really need to work on that signature!)
Ah, it wasn't your siggies fault - I have them disabled so I never see people's siggies. Never mind, I temporarily enabled them and have added you to the first post. You even get to go to the top of the list, since it is in alphabetical order
Thanks @brenleedee for the tip, I will have to look out for those.
I have posted about your recent starter homes on your showcase thread, but just wanted to say again that you have designed and furnished them very well! luckyheather
Very nice design of the exterior of Eva’s Place! @Allears The colour of the exterior and the pretty flowers on the edges of the home looks very nice. Thankyou so very much for using my pictures in your home! Very nice furnishing and layout of the interior of the home. The open plan layout looks great. Very nice sofa seats sitting area for Sims to enjoy looking out through the windows at the outdoors views, whilst watching tv. The study desk nook is nice for Sims to enjoy sitting there using the computer with sunshine coming in onto them. They will enjoy resting in the armchair reading a book. The stone texture of the half wall separating off the kitchen area looks very nice. The teddy is cute in the kids room!
It is a very nice starter home
Thanks @Rosemow I'm so glad you liked it. Your pictures worked out great in there and look wonderful! I downloaded a bunch of them, so I'll be using them a lot.

Desc: This little Spanish styled villa is at a cheap price and perfect for those who want to get famous while living in the desert warm weather. When you have earned you can then add the pool I have marked out and have a BBQ pool party with other famous people. Bedrooms for a couple and a child with toys and books, small room for working out and charisma for that role in a Western movie.
