Do you guys use floor plans when building houses?

What do you mean, floor plans?

I just do whatever comes to mind or what I was already thinking of.

I love using real blue prints to make houses! <3

There are some great sites that have all the free floor plans you could ever want: theplancollection.com

thanks!

I have in the past. I haven't just yet in TS4.

@Anshin Thanks for the site. Building is something I really struggle with (too long and fiddly for me) and I've been toying with drawing up floor plans, but... once again, too long and fiddly, might even be worse than winging it in BuildMode. This site (and you) have just solved my building woes :smile:

I used a house plan for the latest house I made. It looks really nice inside. Looks like a mess outside tho.

Using floor plans is a really nice way to get creative; you can see what types of homes look like today whether they're modern, rustic, contemporary, Victorian, etc. There's quite a list of useful websites to see floor plans for different types of homes and it find it most useful. :)

Totally almost off-topic but I absolutely LOVE your signature. I remember seeing that screenshot from TS3 ages ago and nearly broke my neck trying to find the house with that living room in-game. I never thought to try and create it myself. :blush:

I have for 3 houses that I built in The Sims 3. Like some, I haven't thought about using any for 4. But, I'm open to see if I could try.


*just bookmarked the link you provided*

Yeah. I've done it alot for TS3, especially with my "build teeny tiny houses" kick. I'll use grid paper or make my own grid on some notebook paper, usually while in class.... then I'll go home and build it. The only thing that kept me back from a perfect budget was the lack of knowledge of how much each individual thing costs. (Walls, couches, lights, etc.)
