Cost: 87.538§
Lot: 2x2
Households: 1
Nightlife and OfB required.
Custom content included: Two wallpapers by myself
Description:
For sims that are sick of living in the suburbs, Backdoor Lane provides an alternative: a couple of small town lots with a more urban look and feel. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, creating a maze of backyard gardens and interconnected alleyways when placed in a tightly spaced neigbourhood. Most of them work as corner lots as well as facing the street, creating a very different impression depending on how you place them and what's on the lot next door.
Backdoor Lane 13
is a hi-fi store with an apartment upstairs that will house 1-3 sims (4 if you squeeze them a bit). Off the back of the store there's a small garden house with a side entrance that Rodney obviously hasn't used in a very long time; the garden house itself is empty as well (it connects to both apartment and store, so it can be used for expansion). The store is one room with a bathroom (employees only, unless you want to allow your visitors to use the espresso machine and DJ booth as well -- that one's not for sale, it's for the staff to entertain themselves).
Apartment:
1 x double bedroom
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living room
1 x studio/hobby room
1 x spare room (empty)
Store:
One room with separate bathroom, no break room but a lockable behind-the-counter area
Garden house:
1 x emtpy room
1 x bathroom
Fully furnished, including some expensive art and stuff on sale, only the bedroom is a tad bare. In- and outside lights, alarms, phone, trash cans included. No parking, not on the curb either, nada. Rodney doesn't drive. (If you're desparate, you can remove the overgrown "garden" out back and put a driveway there.)
If you want to remove the lights in the store, don't worry when they don't seem to go away at first -- it's several lights moveobjected atop each other. The ceiling spots are always 3 or 4 in one I think, the round wall lights are two each.
And I'm not aware of a way to set the records on sale, since they're not in the catalogue. They don't have a use in-game anyway ... regard them as decorative.
Thank you:
This collection (frillen) and that one (loba), the mini lots by Andi8104 and the ones based thereupon (MaryLou) have been very useful in making the Backdoor Lane neighbourhood. Thanks for making them available.
Please don't PM me with neighbourhood terrain requests (look in the Neighbourhoods section instead), downloading issues (I can't help you -- look in Site Issues, Q-XPress forums etc), or Build Mode questions (general questions go here, lot specific questions in the d/l thread). Thanks.

- 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.
