I live in Virginia (USA), an area rich in heritage and history. And farmhouses. Especially in the rural areas (such as the one I live in), old farmhouses are a dime a dozen. I wanted to recreate that for the Sims, the history combined with just enough modern convenience to make it comfortable.
The rooms are small, I know. This is to preserve the authentic, old farmhouse feel. (Most of these houses were originally hand-made by the very family who was going to live in it, who also gathered their own material and supplied their own labor and everything, so naturally it isn't a monster). This also has the added benefit of making it cheap enough to be a starter home.
You need Seasons and Nightlife (it includes a driveway). Other than that, you should be fine. The absolute worse thing I can think of is that I used a wall or floor that was in one of the other EP's, in which case the game will put another wall up. If you're like me, the first thing you do is go in and put up your own walls and floors anyway, lol. I painted it a nice, earthy yellow because Maxis didn't make any good whites.
