Papa LaCoeur's House

I live in the Twin Cities, in Minnesota, where last weekend we got a foot and a half of snow.  The snowplow only finished clearing our street this past Friday evening; we're expecting 6-9 more inches of snow tomorrow.

So I am glad to have a bright, sunny, tropical sort of house to share today!

This house is on a tiny 20x15 lot, so it can be placed almost anywhere.  It runs about 86,000 simoleons, I suggest using the freerealestate cheat to place a family in it.  It's furnished with everything a Sim really needs, including a crib for users of the Awesome mod.  There is no custom content, and only the basegame was used, no store items.

There are 4 bedrooms and three baths, and two spare rooms in the basement that could become more bedrooms if so desired.
Ready to see the place?  Here we go:

The front of the house.  Colorful, no?

The front door and the daydreaming papergirl.

The garden and play area.

The main floor.

The basement.

I have a long row of this house along the beachfront on Crescent Cove - I just went in and changed the distinctive exterior coloring on most of them so they looked a bit different.  It makes a cute beach shack.

Honeybell House

This is a tropical (and colorful) 5 bedroom, 5 bath home on a 20x20 lot.  It runs about 170k Simoleons, so I would suggest the freerealestate cheat, myself.This house was inspired by Maelewis at N99.
My test family was the Clarkes: Bastion, Bernise, Tashina, and Zed.

Here's the outside:

And it's pink!

 Part of the inspiration for this house comes from my partner, Soul, who lived in Panama as a kid.   His home there had the main living area over a carport and maid's quarters like this - but no basement, and it was significantly smaller, and cement.

1956 National R-145

Ok, so I lied/was wrong/got more time to build than I'd expected, and here's another one. Noted: I'm tired enough I mislabeled all the pictures as R-143, and this is R-145. 
Blargh.
So here's the front of this cheerful, sprawling ranch:

Pink non-Cadillac included.

Frenetic front garden.

Floorplan.

Living room, view one

Living room view two.

Note: that radio is not there.  I put it there while playtesting to see if it would work this way, and it does.  In the file, the radio is in the bookcase - after testing I see this blocks access to the bookcase.  I left the file as is because I couldn't decide where else to put it (it was originally the big stereo) and because there's a second book case in the home, so if you put Sims you're not playing into the house, they'll still have bookcase access.

Dining area, looking into the multi-use room, as National calls it.

Dining bar.

Kitchen

Moar kitchen!

The back hallway. 

There's a tiny, 2x2 room off this hallway.  I have a dresser and overhead cabinets in it to pretend it's a laundry room, but hopefully actual laundry machines will fit in there.  Or you could put a door (instead of an arch) on it, and it could be a powder room.

There IS a light in there, not shown.

Multi-use room, Richard Wilson is skilling.

Richard Wilson is a flirt and a romantic who's married to a woman (Debra) who brought all the wealth to the family.  She's a writer, he's a philanderer.  I suspect there's a book in there somewhere.
Family's not included though, they're just one of the test families

Girls room.

Girls study and playing with makeup area.

5 custom bears included, one for each potential spawn.

Boys room, with alien teddy bear in corner.

Boys study area and spawn container.

The main bath

I learned the convenience of a bathroom garbage bag next to the potty chair (you can't quite see the potty chair here but it's there) after my Legacy family had triplets while already having a toddler in the house.

Four bikes are included, but Holly and Paul Wilson both took bikes to school this morning.
