I think that brilliantcat has some at brilliantsims that you might like (I know I like them). Her starter houses are great!

I'm not sure about more expensive though. D:

Ah thanks for reminding me about those, I'd been meaning to get most of them. Her little starters would be perfect, set together in an area of town. And I may be able to use the trailers to replace the trailers that come with Riverview.

Yeah I know there's always a large market for affordable starters but I would like some houses my sims (or the computer run sims) will be able to upgrade to as well.

Thanks again!

If I talk to her soon (which I probably will), I'll mention to her the need for upgradable & bigger houses.. just in general. ;) Besides, I need some too and she makes such lovely things!

Making others do the work? ;) (I have actually been doing some building myself as well)

I'm rubbish at building! ;) So, of course. Especially when other people turn out such nice things.
And ooooh, I wanna see!

I like to build occasionally, I just get bored of it after a few houses. And here's what I did today and yesterday:

Wow, these are lovely! The blue house is so cute! And I love the modern look of the other one. (Well, it looks that way to me). :D

Thank you! :)
