In a sims slump

When I build I usually start with a room. Then I add other rooms as I work out what my sim needs. If I try to build a great house from scratch I get bored and abandon it. So building is usually part of a game for me. If a house turns out to be useful and suitable for many different sims I'll save it to my library and re-use it. I tend to try to avoid building anything from scratch and will reuse what I already have if possible. Even if I have built something special to fit on a hilly lot and then want to add it to a flat lot. That can give me some landscaping drama that can take days for me to sort out but I'd rather do that than try to build it again.

I don't know if I could start with just one room, I usually have a plan and an inkling about the decor I want for the entire house and tend to follow through with a color scheme from room to room. But I am playing what I call a "vanilla" game right now with one Sim, the usual $20,000 and no skills or job and a small house, updating it as he gets more money. (Usually by marrying then killing off the spouse and accumulating their simoleons. That goes way back to my Sims 1 days when it was months before I knew any of the cheats). I suppose that is somewhat similar.
