Chapter 2: Starter Home

Chapter 2: Starter Home

I chose an empty lot for Amie as I like to create my own homes. Right now I have a one story home with two bedrooms and one bath.  As you walk into the home you will see the living room.  I currently have a desk with a computer, chair, and an art easel.  Eventually, I can add a couch and television.

If you go to the right and through the archway, you will walk into the kitchen. Very minimal counters, and not the ones I wanted, but everything is basically a starter item and can potentially be remodeled and updated as we progress into our challenge.  There is a stove, refridgorater, some counters, a garbage can, a table, and chairs.  I have a way to get outside through the kitchen.  As you walk out you will be in the backyard.  It is also a shorter distance to get to the side of the house where the garden is.

 

Also off of the kitchen is the bathroom.  I got the cheapest toilet (can’t see in this picture), sink, and shower/bath combination just for now.  It will also help when these break and need repairing.  Amie can then dig through the pile and find items to upgrade each item, or sell the parts.  I am leaning more towards selling the parts and saving for better quality bathroom items.

When you head back into the living room you will see two doors.  One bedroom is Amie’s and the other will be for the toddlers.  I am hoping that some day we can add 2-4 more bedrooms.  The babies need their own room, but for now I will have them in Amie’s room.  The toddlers will need their own room.  Another room will be for the children and teenagers.  I would also like to eventually separate boys and girls for children and teenagers.  For now, when the time comes, they will all have to share until we expand the home. I don’t see the Paulini’s moving out, just remodeling and expanding.

The home is allowed to have three lot traits.  We can again choose any that are listed.  The first trait I have chosen for this lot is on ley line.  This allows our matriarch to have chances with twins.  Bring on this challenge!  If Amie has twins, they will be aged up together and moved out together.  I haven’t decided to move them into any lots at this time.  Currently, the lots near Amie’s home are for our donor men.

The second trait for this lot is of course the romantic aura!  We definitely need this to get our donors into the mood faster.  I know, easy way out but, I am not sure how long this would take without this trait. Now, bring on those men!

The third and final trait is child’s play.  The children will learn faster with this one.  It truly was hard to choose the last trait because I wanted to have great soil for the garden.  I wanted to have the homey trait for mastering cooking, handiness, and gardening quickly.  Home studio would have also been a nice trait for better quality in writing, painting, and woodworking (another way to sell items).
