Your designs are amazing! And for those of us who don't like doing downloads, your floor plans are greatly appreciated! I have followed your design square-by-square, with a few tweaks here and there because of taste or not being able to get it quite right. I've decided to forgo the attached garage. It's a bit much for my skills and patience.

real treat = addiction. I spent ALL DAY today recoloring wall tiles and my bottom floor still isn't completely colored. I still haven't built the 2nd and third floors! My poor Sim family has been paused standing out by the greenhouse for three weeks and it's unlikely they will move for quite a while! *laughs*

Aww, thanks! :smile: Floor plan designs are a useful asset, whether you follow RL house plans or other simmers builds. Another technique I used when I first began building was to download homes from advanced and safe builders, place it on a lot near where I was building and try to recreate it for practice or sledgehammer/undo/redo parts of it to figure out how they had achieved a certain feature, in addition to a lot of trial and error and following tutorials. I learned a great deal that way before I began building for myself consistently, in order to understand all the little tricks so I could build whatever I had envisioned for a particular family.

I agree—CASt is addicting and a major reason I enjoy playing TS3 more than other games in the series. Oh, your poor Sim family! I can understand them not wanting to wait on an attached garage after weeks of standing outside already! :wink: But that feature can be saved for a future build for another save/family if you’re eventually so inclined, and I’m sure your current family will appreciate having a home designed especially for them with your new addiction. :mrgreen: And if you like the results, whatever time you spend perfecting a build with CASt is worthwhile.
