$16,500 simoleans and starter houses....


Why oh why did EA have the bright idea to make it even harder to start out in Sims 3?? Since when did inflation go down?? (ok, forget the global financial crisis... when else... lol).

I've been hating EA starter lots since I got the sims3 I mean just because my simmies are poor, doesn't mean they have to live in a place style left behind right?.... Wrong!... It seems we now only have 16,500 measly little simoleans to buy our first house with and it's driving me mad!... Try building anything worth living in for 16,500, I mean first of all, unless you want to live in that horrible new estate up the hill in Sunset Valley, a block of land is going to set you back about $2,700... forget foundations... I know they say they're only worth 4 dollars a square but... I've been keeping a close watch on the simoleans and the black market in my game is setting me back $44 a square!!... WTH?? Even the cheapest kitchen with no overhead cupboards, diswasher or trash compactor, island will set you back about $1600. Floorcoverings and paint have had a price hike with the cheapest being $4 a square instead of the good old sims 2 day's when a decent carpet would only set you back $1! The most basic of human rights in any civilised society.. a toilet!... will cost you a cool $270. Want a shower?... Well, be prepared to ante up $425 smack-a-roos! Ridiculous!

I guess my plan to revamp starter housing has failed miserably.... but I'll keep trying... I guess it's back to the drawing board for me! :)

I am a total failure when it comes to starter homes. I admire anyone who can build a decent looking lot for that price. LOL\:D

Simsjeanie, I had no idea planted fruit and vegetables upped the lot value... how rude!... so much for getting away with cheap landscaping that way... lol
Geez, EA sure are making it hard for us to start out without cheating...  \;\)

I'm now trying to build a real starter for one person more than once - and failed and failed and failed! It's so discouraging! But I don't give up - right now I'm building just a hut, but with a garden. Btw - did you know that the fruit and vegetables raise the cost of the lot? \:eek\: I do want to start without cheating - it may be crazy, but that's me. So the sims have to start with a tiny house but a well stuffed garden. So they can earn money the moment they move in ... Maybe some time I'll be more successful ...
