This newlywed starter comes in at around 11500 unfurnished - I did add carpet and tiles to the plywood floors.
When I start a sim in a new (unfurnished) starter I really furnish it in a Spartan way, no decoration to speak of. Thus:
Bedroom: A double bed with high energy recovery, 1-tile clothes/dresser
Bathroom: Basic toilet plus basic shower
Kitchen: Cheap fridge, cheap stove, 2 counters with cheap dishwasher and cheap trash compactor, smoke alarm
Dining: Cheap square or round table with 4 cheap chairs
Living: Cheap sofa, bookcase, inexpensive TV
Hobby room (for lack of a better name): Desk, chair, Monique's computer (on MTS2 site), telephone
Outdoor: Octagonal table by mailbox, burglar prevention sign
That's it. As the sim gets some simoleans, I add skill building things as needed, upgrade shower to tub/shower combo, nicer table and chairs in dining room, maybe a sink if sim jogs a lot.
Usually that's it. Sooner or later the sim pairs up with another. The couple then, under one roof, have lots of simoleans to purchase and furnish a larger house, have kids, etc. Nursery is bare bones, too: Bed/crib, changing table, skill-building toys. Child and teen get desk and chair.
Again, thank you for the "newlywed" starters - yellow and pink!
