My sister and I built our first house back on the ranch when we were still teenagers, just to get away from the main house. I have built a few houses in real life from the ground up since then. I draw scaled diagrams all of the time.
A double bed mattress is 54in. x 75in.
Add a few more inches on the side to allow for the bedframe, and navigation, it will come out to be very close to six feet wide. Do the same for length, and take into consideration that the game demands the extra square at the foot of the bed for placement due to navigation, and you have very close to nine feet.
The furniture in the game can be out of scale. One only has to look at some of the dressers, and end tables to see that.
You can use a freeware measuring device called "JRuler" to get an accurate, onscreen calculation of scale and size.
My goodness XOX1 you can be a stickler for detail. LOL. I know a double bed it 54" by 75" inches. I sleep on one. What I am trying to do here is keep it simple for the novice builder. I'm hoping they won't need a math degree to do a simple house.
Therefore, for my purposes of the Homework Assignment One, a sim tile is 2' x 2'.
Love your posts. Keep me thinking.
