Hey there! I'm a baby builder and new to it (Getting better!) But I was wondering what are other builder's tips and tricks or general advice for improving one's build game? Good starting points, ...
When I started building I used floor plans to get the basic shape of the house. A lot of them have measurements for each room, and I would cut the measurements in half in game. For example if a bedroom was 10x10 in the floorplan, I would make it 5x5 in game. If it was a number that's not divisible by 2, I would split the difference (9x10 would become 4x5). This helps a lot with proportions, however it's not an exact science. Sometimes things need adjusting a bit but it's a good start.
Another thing I've recently started doing to make the back of a house look as well as the front is copy it. That way if you cut the house in half the two pieces would be mirrored. I do this to keep from the back being so flat and plain looking. Plus, in my opinion, it's usually easier to floorplan.
As for my proudest builds? These modern houses were accomplishments for me because I don't really do modern houses.
