Your first house could even have as few as four rooms: a bedroom, a bathroom, a study, and a great room.

Have fun with your home layout, make interesting-shaped rooms and connect them with a two-wide hallway. Hallways should be at least two tiles wide to avoid pathing conflicts when you have company over. We can take the concept a step further and include the entertainment area with the kitchen/dining room to create a Great Room feel. For example, your Sim's first home doesn't necessarily need a separate dining room, you can just extend the kitchen and place chairs and a table in it. Pretty easy right? We can even combine rooms to save space and money. Let's break down a typical house: In the most basic sense there are two elements - rooms and hallways - and that's all you need for a simple home for your Sims.

Don't be afraid to make the rooms bigger! Walls, carpets and wallpaper aren't very expensive so feel free to expand the size of these rooms, or even combine two of them together.

As you can see in the picture below, we're able to fit all essential items plus a few goodies in each 5x4 room. With the exception of the bathroom, I recommend that the smallest you make your rooms is 5x4 tiles. Getting the Fun meter high before work will increase your Sim's mood and lead to quicker promotions. Entertainment: This can be anything that raises the Fun meter, such as a TV, guitar, or whatever else your Sim is interested in.Bookcase, Computer, Easel, Chess Set, etc.

Skills: I usually build a study and pack it full of whatever skill items I think I'll need.

You probably won't be able to afford an object to train every skill, so choose what you buy based on what your early goals are for your Sim. It's possible to train every skill and satisfy needs outside of the home, but it's nice to have the option to do it at your residence if desired.

Upgrade to a tub or a shower/tub combo and get a ducky and some bubblebath from the supermarket (or find them while fishing) to get the 'bathe until tranquil' option and the 'ducky time' moodlet. Build cheap! Your Sim is only in the bathroom for 1-3 hours a day tops, much less after the Steel Bladder and Dirt Defiant LTR, so upgrade your bathroom last.

Hygiene: Shower or Tub, Toilet, Sink The sink is optional, your Sims can use the sink in the kitchen if they really need to, likewise they can wash dishes in the bathroom sink if the kitchen does not have one.

Only get a microwave if you're wanting to cook hotdogs, and coffee makers have a poor cost/benefit ratio - but hey, if you gotta have the java, you gotta have the java. Build cheap! Upgrade your fridge and oven after your bed, a food processor is also recommended.

Food: Refrigerator, Counter, Oven, Sink, Smoke Detector Have two open counter spaces if you can, so that when you get a food processor you can have one counter where Sims can prepare food able to go in the processor, and one counter to prepare foods that must be done by hand (this space will also be necessary for Sims to place group meals on).

A new bed should be the first item you upgrade once your Sim is more financially stable.

Sleep: Bed If you have money to spare at the start, feel free to spend it on a better bed.

Build Cheap! It's OK to purchase the cheapest version of these items in the beginning, it's better to have a well-rounded home than just a room with a few top-notch objects besides, you'll get plenty of money from raises and opportunities soon enough. I'll provide a list of essential items here, but I will not be going into detail on many of them, as you can find that information in Carl's Newbie Guide. Every Sim will always need to worry about these three things (unless your Sim is a mummy!), so every home must include the ability to fulfill these needs.

At the start of their journey, new Sims will spend a great deal of time at home - so why not make it an visually pleasing experience? If you're tired of building a big square with objects littered around the edges, or running out of funds when creating your first home, then you're in luck! I'm going to show you the basics on how to design an interesting layout for a single Sim or couple while still having space for important items and staying within your initial budget. Naturally, most of those simoleons are going towards your first house, whether it's pre-built or something of your own design. The first few days can be a rough time for any new Sim - skilling, struggling for LTHP, and figuring out how to optimally spend that $16,500 wad in your pocket.
