How long does it normally take you to build a Sim house?

I usually download houses because I'm not very good at building. If I do build, it usually takes me quite awhile. Once I get to the decorating part, I send a lot of time with CaSt trying to color-coordinate everything. The decorating part is fun for me, but the building, not so much. If I'm building a moderate to large house, it usually takes a few hours to complete it.

I mainly use this as (VERY) temporary housing while I build nice big mansions. This house got its name from when I was building it, I kept repeating it over and over "This house su cks !"

In the end, it's worth it though...

The poolhouse is where that nightmare of a house once was! So long to eye-sores!

Haha, well, that's still better than some of the temp houses I've built (or rather not build i.e..the tent).

Your house doesn't suck really, it looks kind of cozy actually. Sometimes I prefer the smaller houses, as long as you've got all the space you need, they can be better than the big mansions.

I love building houses! Usually I keep the lot size on the medium side. I never know what to do with all of the rooms when I have a huge lot to build on. It takes me from 30 minutes to an hour or so when I'm not diving into CAST.

I agree, I like that starter house, it reminds me of a cozy little cottage. I love building small houses (probably because I'm horrible at building larger ones). When my sims have larger houses I often don't know what to do with all of the extra space. Kind of like in real life when I watch tv shows about people living in 12,000 square foot homes. I personally wouldn't know what to do with 12,000 square foot homes. When I watch those shows it annoys me when people living in those 12,000 square foot homes see a home that's 3,000 square feet and then complain about it being tiny. I often wonder what they'd say if they saw my 1,400 square foot house LOL. Sorry I kind of got off topic.

I'll see if I can build and upload a "This House Su cks!" home for those who may want one. My game is sometimes "squirrelly" in build mode. I'm also going to build and upload the poolhouse after "This House Su cks!" is completed. By the way, if it comes out as "This House plum", sorry. It means the censors didn't like " Su cks" and ruined it for EVERYONE! Ding-dang it! D^:<

EDIT: Each house sold separately. Sims not included.

It takes me so long. But I very rarely even build houses because I don't have the patience :\ when I do *attempt* to build one I never really get round to finishing them haha :)

Far too long! I've been working on one for the last week. I'm just never 100% happy with anything...I have no house building talent lol.

I'm really excited for TS4 build tools - it'll solve a lot of issues I have (forgetting to place foundation, placing rooms in the wrong places, building rooms that are too big or small).

This House Su cks! has been uploaded. It's §9,600 for furnished (forgot to check UN-furnished price) but it's in my studio now.

EDIT: I used only BASE items, since not everyone has the same EP's. :^)

I mostly need something between 2 and 7 hours^^ depending on the lot size, family size and if the lot is flat or not.^^

I am a very slow builder but I enjoy building so that doesn't bother me :) I take breaks from building otherwise I keep churning out the same old ideas. I also like to build with a sim or family in mind. This helps with decorating ideas :)
