I get a bit frustrated when playing The Sims 2 that EVERY family, large or small, starts with §20,000 in the bank. Everyone in life has different circumstances and sometimes I want to play a family that are moderately well off without feeling that I've cheated! I just don't have time to build every family up to that stage from scratch.

I'd also love there to be other categories of house to design for, other than starter homes. So, that's where I came up with the idea of a Graduate Starter. At least if a couple are moving back to the neighbourhood having graduated, they will both have §20,000 EACH to start their new life with. No cheating necessary! So a Graduate Starter, to me, is a home that costs under §40,000 and is suitable for a couple just starting out.

Enough waffle! Here's a few pics of the interior:
