Custom content included: Invisible Driveway by roddyaleixo, Balustrade Stairs by Brasstex, Modular Stairs by Jonesi.
A note on the stairs: if you want to install them properly, please fo to the threads indicated above and follow the directions. This lot will work just fine if you don't, but you won't be able to select or change the stairs or use them in other lots (they won't show up in the catalogue, which is what the installation procedure is for).
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 30
Two houses on a 2x2 lot, both partly furnished (kitchens and bathrooms and such -- I guess you can figure out the rest), one of them with a very small garden in the backyard. Both houses have basements (access from inside only), parking for two cars in the yard, cars included.
House 1 (left):
1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom
3 x bathroom
1 x kitchen
1 x dining/living room
3 x spare room (empty)
House 2 (right):
1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom
1 x bathroom
1 x kitchen
1 x dining/living room
1 x basement (empty)

On the screenshots the front door outside light of house 2 is missing, but I've added it afterwards. And a neighbourhood shot for good measure .. it's all a bit far away though as I seem to be cameramodless at the moment. The small orange-y hut next to this lot is the Tiny Diner from this thread.
Thank you:
This collection (frillen) as well as this one (loba) and that one (windkeeper), 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, as well as for the driveway and the stairs I've used in this lot.
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.

Install Instructions
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).
- 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.
