There are lots of premade houses to buy on The Sims Freeplay, in this guide I will rate each house and give my opinion so you can see if it is worth buying!
The price and time it takes to build a house increases with every house you build

s= can be built on a standard plot
p= can be built on a premium plot
Standard or Premium?
Once you complete the ocean view estate quest you can build houses on premium plots which are bigger.
- Standard= 18×18
- Premium= 36×18
NOTE: Some of the houses may have been slightly modified
When you start playing the game now this is the first house you will start with (it has changed a lot since most of us started playing the game) It’s a good sized house with some 2 and 3 star items included (this is a one story house but you could add another floor, mine is a 3 story house now)
Floors: One
Car: No
Unfurnished Studio- 1/5
This is the first house you can purchase, it is a lot cheaper than the others and is very basic. It’s fine for when you first start the game and have no money but I have demolished all of mine and built bigger and better homes since. There is no wallpaper or flooring so you are going to have to pay extra for that. (I didn’t think you needed to see a picture of this one as I’m sure this was the first house that everyone built!) (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)
Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Empty space
↑
Furnished Townhouse- 1/5
Slightly more expensive, still quite basic but at least it has wallpaper and flooring! Again it’s okay when you first start the game and it’s a nice sized house- apart from the kitchen which is really small! (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)
Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Empty space
↑
One Bedroom Home- 3/5
This is a really nice sized house, perfect for 2 people, you could even expand it to add another bedroom at the back of the house. I like that the décor is quite traditional and looks like it would be a house for an older couple. There are mostly 2 star items in this house which means you can accomplish tasks quicker than the previous 2 houses. (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)
Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: Yes, Red Sedan (1 Star Car)
Premium Residence: Empty space
↑
Mansion- 4/5
This is a 2 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms and an office- you also get a car with this house! Most of the items in this house are 3 stars so you can complete tasks really quickly! (this is a one story house)
Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: Yes, Luxury (3 Star Car)
Premium Residence: Empty space
↑
Empty Lot- 5/5
Make of it what you will- you have a blank canvas to create an amazing house, this plot is cheaper than the other houses because you are going to spend a lot of money making your own house! I really like empty plots- I buy a lot of them as I like creating my own houses but for this you do have to save up your money!
Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Car: No
↑
The Sanctuary- 2.5/5
This house consists of two tiny rooms that aren’t connected, you have a bedroom/living room area and a bathroom. For a house that costs LP I don’t think you get a lot for your money because it is filled with the cheapest 1 star items. It doesn’t even have some essential items! (this is a one story house, it would be difficult to add another floor)
I edited my sanctuary to make it better, it had 4 separate rooms: a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room- so now the owner has everything they need. With mostly 2 or 3 star items and a really nice garden it feels more like a home!
Cost: Standard 13LP, Premium 24LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Lots of trees, layout works really well for this house
↑
Dark Secret-1/5
This is probably the worst house you can buy, it’s very white, plain, creepy and looks like some sort of prison! It really isn’t worth spending your LP on this! (this is a one story house, you could add a second floor maybe with a different colour scheme)
Cost: Standard 14LP, Premium 26LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees
↑
Skater’s Dream Pad- 4/5
One of my favourite houses, I really like this house- mainly because there is a skateboard ramp in the garden! I think you get what you pay for with this house, it also costs LP but you can tell that by looking at it- there are a lot of expensive items in this house (3 star items) and if you are on the lower levels you get some items that haven’t been unlocked in buy mode yet! (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)
I have edited this house and turned it into a teenage dream skater pad as two of my teenage sims live here. You can see more pictures of my edited house and a house plan on my house designs page
Cost: Standard 28LP, Premium 32LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees
↑
Medieval Castle- 3.5/5
This is a one bedroom castle styled house- I think it works really well. It is an interesting shape and it does look like an castle, apart from lighting, the kitchen and bathroom appliances it is a traditional house, there is no TV but a chess set for entertainment. I think they should have created a fridge and oven that fits the theme. (this is a one story house but stairs could easily be added)
And your sims that live in this house can wear costumes to match!
Cost: Standard 21LP, Premium 25LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees
↑
Designer Home- 3/5
This is a one story house but you could easily add a second floor, I don’t think it’s the most exciting house available in the game, and okay there are plenty of 3 star items in the house but does that really make it designer?
I will definitely be changing the wallpaper and flooring in the kitchen and living room to make it look more what I would consider designer. I really like the entrance way into the house, although I think the front door should come through into the living room, not the kitchen.
Cost: Standard 32LP, Premium 43LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Seating area and garden decorations
↑
Player Designed House- 4/5
Another really nice house! This is a 2 bedroom house, the girls bedroom is my favourite room in this house because it is so pretty!! It’s definitely worth the money! There is an entertainment room and a study with 3 star computers. The only thing I don’t like is the placing of the bathroom at the front of the house, this means there is no door at the front- you have to go around the side to the kitchen. This is a one story house.
I have turned this into a 2 story house though because I can’t stop changing things I wanted more garden space and a bigger nursery/play area, so I have moved the nursery and girls bedroom upstairs, the living room is now where the girls bedroom was and I made the room which was the living room smaller and turned that into a dining room with a seating area outside. You can see more pictures of my edited house and a house plan on my house designs page
Cost: Standard 44LP, Premium 49LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees
