While scanning the NRaas list of sims in Lost Cove, I noticed there were two families. And they were large families! One couple had five kids and the other had 4. Since I'd put a school in the world, I decided to give these homeless families resident houses.
I went looking for small lot houses, nothing too elaborate, to place on 20 x 15 lots, and I found several homes at MTS. I chose the Two Story Starter and one of the five designs for a Townie House.
It turns out Ralph Burns has a wife, a teen daughter, child-age daughter, and THREE toddlers (two more girls and one lone boy). They needed a home--fast! I added a second story to the Townie House and gave them the basics.
The house sits in a little valley just down from the central area of Lost Cove. In the small back yard, the family now has a hopscotch rug, a block table, and a spring rider.
They all arrived safely to their new home. I was dismayed to see that the two toddler girls both had Imaginary Friend dolls. The place will be a madhouse! I haven't checked to see if the boy had a doll too.
Living and kitchen are on the main floor, along with bedrooms for the parents and the two older girls. There's an All-in-One bathroom and the usual bookcase, TV, and stereo. They also have a game console and a costume trunk.
The upstairs add-on is for the nursery and a full bath. I don't know if those three cribs will ever be used, but they're available if needed. The parents seem to use the playpen to store the kids!
Too bad all three toddlers can't be put in the pen!
He's still in the playpen. He has been there ALL day. I think he's gained enough of the Charisma skill to give motivational speeches. Probably knows so much abacus Logic he can now work calculus too!
Tana: When I grow up, I'm never getting married. I don't want kids!

The Huang family got the 2-story Starter house. I converted the carport to a family room (on the right).
The house isn't far from the Burns' home or the Minions' house. It sits just above a quiet beach area.
The back yard offers a slide and a couple of lounge chairs.
The main floor contains the living and kitchen areas and the new family room with the usual activities. The Huangs also have an All-in-One bathroom. The kids are older, so I gave them a chess table and easel.
Here's a better view of the family room and dining area.
Basic bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. The girls have a toy box and a costume trunk. The teen boys have a small stereo in their room.
Gabriel, you are NOT leaving the house looking like that!
Whew! Much better. Sometimes normal is a good thing.
I also had to help dress his brother Curtis too, although he wasn't quite as frightening as Gabriel.
Mother fixed dinner, but one of the girls couldn't wait.
Dad sat down at the computer desk to watch TV. He didn't seem to notice the beautiful sunset outside his window.
