Parsimonious Sims 2 Houses: 240
items
All our houses were made using the Any Game Starter to avoid unnecessary expansion pack requirements. Additionally each has been checked and double-checked with the Clean Pack Installer so you shouldn't find lots of lurking and unexpected horrors!
Expansion Pack Filtering
In general Sims 2 houses will require all the Expansion and Stuff packs the creator had installed when they made the house. Of course not everyone is lucky enough to have lots of Sims 2 Expansions, so if you are missing some packs, you can use our Houses Expansion Pack filter to disable houses that you can't use.
You will find this filter located at the top of every page in this section, below the menu. To use it simply click to disable any packs you don't have. Disabled packs will be shown with a greyed out icon. Then pick a category from the Houses menu as you would normally and you will only see houses that fit your selection. If you get a new pack, simply click the corresponding icon to turn it back on again - when you choose a category, the selection will be updated accordingly.
Some categories will always require a particular 'default' expansion. Dorms will always require University, Home Businesses will always require Open for Business, Hotels will always require Bon Voyage and Apartments will always require Apartment Life.
Installation Help
If you need help installing our Sims 2 Houses, you can find this handy help topic in our Support Area. Don't forget, you will need the CEP from ModTheSims for any houses that contain custom furniture. You can find out more information about the CEP and installing Sims 2 furniture here in our Support Area.
We STRONGLY recommend that you use the Clean Pack Installer to install Sims2Pack files to your game. Using the default game installer can cause serious problems for your game and does not allow you to check what custom content is included in a lot BEFORE you install it (amongst many other problems!).
Any Recolors or Repository Objects that don't 'stick' to the lot file will be included in the download zip
