Starter Home

Starter home/house is an unofficial designation for a cheap residential lot in the Sims games. It's used both by simmers (while sharing these types of lots online or on The Sims 4 Gallery) and game developers (the designation is even present in the description of one lot in The Sims 4).
As defined by the simming community, a starter home is one that can be bought at the start of a New Game. Specifically, a starter home should be affordable enough to be bought by a single-Sim household made in CAS (not created using The Sims 4's Story Mode). This means that a starter home's price (with the lot included) should be worth up to 20,000 Simoleons (or 16,500 only in The Sims 3).
=== Requirements ===
Other than the requirement of an under 20k Simoleon home, there are no official strict requirements for starter homes, although simmers usually include the necessary amenities for a Sim's survival (in other words, the minimum requirements to build a functional home established in The Sims 3):
* Have an indoor space to protect a Sim from the elements;
* Have a usable kitchen (1 fridge, 1 stove/oven and 1 counter, at least);
* Have a bathroom (or at least a shower/bathtub and a toilet, sinks are optional);
* Have a bed or sofa in which to nap.
Everything else such as entertainment (TVs, bookshelves, stereos and computers), decoration, and even wall paint and floor textures, are not a requirement, but are expected. Most simmers pride themselves in trying their best to build, furnish and decorate a starter home in a way that doesn't look "cheap".
