I've got a few homeless sims. But just because they are homeless does not mean they cannot live in a form of style. Instead of an empty lot, I built...this.
This is a lot that fits seamlessly into sunset valley. It does not look awkward placed into the hood as there is an intended place for it, that works perfectly.
This park was once just a small meeting area between a few houses in Sunset Valley. The people who lived in the houses took care of it and had parties there, but a few of them eventually moved away and the park fell into disrepair.
Plants have become overgrown, wood has begun to rot, and metal to rust. The dumpster, uncollected for years, sits behind a ton of plant growth which has grown under and on the trellis which makes up the center of the park.
There's an abandoned couch, some candles, old picnic tables, a found-and-tacked-up mirror, and an old, dangerous slide. Little more in the way of amenities. At least the trees and overgrown heather on the trellis gives a bit of shelter. There's an old car, too, but the seats have springs in them, which have poked through the rotting upholstery, so it's no good for sleeping in.
Your homeless sims may have a hard life, but at least it's a little easier when there's plantlife to use as shelter, right? The people in the neighboring houses don't seem to mind, as long as their view is blocked by the trees. Let's just hope whoever lives here manages well enough.
Home is 30x20, and costs 15,258 simoleons. It depreciates REALLY fast, so move a sim in right after placing it! It will cost more if placed on a lot bigger than 30x20.
I feel bad saying "Enjoy!" considering it's a home for unfortunate sims, but really, enjoy. I quite like how this came out.
Lot Size: 3x2
Lot Price: 15,258 Furnished
10,273 Unfurnished
