Houses
Every time you purchase a house lot, the prices for the other house lots also rise, so you'll want to purchase as few house lots as possible. The best method to do this is for two Sims in two different houses “Be Romantic” with each other until they become Partners, then you can ask one of them to move into the same house with the other, thus freeing up a house for another Sim who can earn additional income without having to buy another house. Sims don't have to get married to move into another house with another Sim, but just simply ask to move in once they're Partners.

To keep Sims happy and inspired, the very basic items are needed below:
 * Coffee Maker (drink Espresso for Sleep)
 * Garden Patch (plant seeds to raise Happiness)
 * Phone (Quick Chat for Socialization)
 * Refrigerator (eat Leftovers for Hunger)
 * Sink (Wash hands for Hygiene)
 * Toilet (Use the toilet)

Nothing else is needed to keep your Sims inspired. So, unless money permits, you can get away with purchasing Unfurnished Studios for each house lot, and simply buying only the items needed above. Eventually, you'll want to upgrade the items to a 2 or 3 star rating so that it takes less time for a Sim to get inspired quickly. Since Simoleons are the easiest currency to obtain by accomplishing tasks and quests, gardening, working, etc., I'll only focus on the least expensive 2 and 3 star items you can purchase with Simoleons from The Home Store. Keep in mind that it doesn't matter how much you spend on an item, except that its effectiveness is rated by how many stars it has. Otherwise, you're spending extra for cosmetics. However, some tasks and quests require additional items, and eventually, you will need to purchase these other items to complete these tasks. Since many tasks may offer additional prizes for completing them within a time limit, it's definitely beneficial to purchase 2 and 3 star rated items to reduce the time to use these items, and win these extra prizes. The 2 and 3 star rated items listed in "The Home Store: Extras" table above only need to be purchased for one house, and all of your Sims can simply visit this house to use the higher rated item, unless...
 * These items are the same price and have same star rating.  Your cosmetic choice.
 * The task requires that the Sim perform the action at their own house, or...


 * You have more than one Sim needing to use the same item
