Hmm, well, sorry to bother you there, Jon.
Progress seems to be coming along on SB's house now... I had to improvise to pull off the basement thing though. That is, I dropped the terrain and built a "first floor," then built a second floor on it and raised the terrain to normal height as close to the house as I could. So we ended up with sort of a ditch around the house until I learn how to do basements the right way.
It's not done yet, but I've made enough progress to show a few screens...
First, the basement. Here's the index picture I worked off of.
And now, the Sims version...
The wall pattern needs some improvement to make it more precise, and I need to make the couch a little darker orange, and give it the famous patch.
Wait a minute, is that the Trogdor arcade game sittin' there?! Yup...
As pointed out in the wiki's description of the basement, there must be two ways to enter, since characters are regularly seen coming from both sides. That's been taken into account as well. The doorway you saw on the right in the first shot will lead to a hallway, as well as Strong Bad's bedroom and a stairway up. In this shot, you also see a stairway leading straight into the basement room.
That's all that's done of the basement. An overall view of that floor now...
Let's head upstairs, shall we?
First, let's look at my index picture of the computer room, as well as the wiki's description.
The Computer Room is directly above Strong Bad's Basement, as can be seen in Sbemail 150?!?. It appears to be extremely long (front to back) and has at least three doors to the right. As seen in the email dragon, it is large enough to contain a number of long wooden tables.
On the left you can see the uncarpeted area where The Cheat's lightswitch would go, along with the window where the tree branches rub to make the "Douglas" sound. The lighting isn't recessed, unfortunately, but that's as close as we can get. Even "No Loafing" is present, along with a stairway to the left leading down into the basement. (The stairway is behind a little half-wall there on the left...you can't see the stairs themselves in these shots...but you saw the bottom of them in the basement pics.)
An overall view of this floor (so far):
That square room in the left corner will be Strong Sad's.
Aaaand outside:
Yeah, I still need to decorate the outside some. Notice the "Douglas" tree too.
Finally, look over those pics once more while keeping these guidelines in mind from the wiki:

Very little is known about the layout of the rooms; here is what has been gathered:
The front door (or the most used exit) is to the right when facing Strong Bad's computer in the Computer Room.
Another entrance may exist to the left, as Homsar enters that way in the email interview. Hovever, this may simply be evidence of another of Homsar's odd powers.
Strong Bad's Basement and The Cheat's Computer Room are accessed to the left when facing the computer.
Strong Sad's Room is directly behind Strong Bad when he sits at his computer.
The Computer Room is directly above Strong Bad's Basement, as can seen in Sbemail 150?!?. It appears to be extremely long (front to back) and has at least three doors to the right. As seen in the email dragon, it is large enough to contain a number of long wooden tables.
Oh yeah, I haven't put in the tables yet. That and the couch, and the basement's wallpaper will come next.
