Here's a compact, space-efficient pair of houses on one lot. Perfect for two families, or just one family -- with the grandparents right next door. Their garages are conveniently placed underneath the house, to save room. (Thank you to 28082989 on youtube for the amazingly helpful underground garage tutorial video.)
No Custom Content
Details: 3 Bed, 3 Bath, basement, underground garage.
These houses are meant to be placed in a row, displayed in a variety of colors. The default game thankfully offers a diverse collection of painted exterior wallpapers, so go wild!
I'm not completely satisfied with this house. Due to game limitations, I couldn't make the house exactly like I imagined it to be. I would have preferred to have the houses on separate lots (instead of two on one lot), but the game just doesn't have a 1 X 3 lot. Although having them in pairs isn't too bad a compromise.
*Update*
Even with MaryLou's smaller-sized residential lots (1 X 3), it's still quite impossible to make this house look exactly like I imagined it. As far as I know, there is no way of building walls on the 2-tiled "no man's land" boarder surrounding a lot, so 2 problems arise if I were to attempt making a single-housed version of this lot:
1) The house would be much to narrow to look proper. The house needs to be at least 7 tiles wide. The widest house I can make with a 1 X 3 lot is 6 tiles wide.
2) When placed in a row, there would be a gaping 4-tile gap between each house. Yuck! In real life the gap should probably only be 2 tiles.
Lot Size: 2x3
Lot Price: 61,976

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

About Me
I love victorian houses, but there aren't nearly enough of them up for download -- at least not the kind I see around my neighborhood. So I'm here to fill the niche.
**************************************
I AVOID USING CUSTOM CONTENT as much as possible. Why? There are two very good reasons, one brief, and one long:
1) It just makes everything so much easier to upload and download.
2) When I had Sims 1, I got into the terribly addictive habit of downloading custom content after custom content. I was able to build some pretty magnificent houses, but it CONSUMED MY LIFE. I would spent HOURS trying to find the perfect walls, floors, furniture, etc etc. (I'm sure other Sims enthusiast can sympathize with me).
**************************************
I've been asked if my houses could be used in a personal sim story. I say, of course! Please give me a link to your story because I'm curious to see what you did. :)
