Using a custom house in a different save

The Library (houses, commercial lots and families that you've created in the Sims game) is contained in your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Library folder. That's where you can place your home.
How to save your home to the "bin/Library"
Step one: Go to Edit Town.
Step two: Evict the people in the house; now you have a vacant house.
Step three: click on the house and "Save Copy to Library".
When you load up your new game, you go into your game "Edit Town" and look in the"Show Empty Houses" in your Households menu (the middle tab of the three tabs at the top of the menu of households in your bin along the bottom of your screen) and you will see it as one of the most recent selections.
You don't have to upload it on the Exchange to use it yourself.
