Just can't get good at building?
Hi everyone, I've had this account for a while now but only recently become a full member, so I hope this is the right place to post this! Really just wanted some tips on building, as I just can't ...

Hi @moo - don't despair, we all start somewhere and I suppose any kind of design comes more naturally to some. I can't add much to what's already been said - I'm my opinion the best way is exploration but also it's sometimes worth downloading lots you are impressed by and looking at how they've been achieved from a building perspective and have a go at doing this yourself.
The video tutorials are also good maybe if you're looking to achieve something quite specific in function/form.
I used to find images of buildings or houses online that I liked the look of and tried to re-create them as best possible. When you have to fully explore the features in order to achieve a particular look it can give you a better idea of what's possible when you're creating other lots.
Furnishing to make a space appear more realistic, cluttered and lived-in is also a big factor I think and takes AGES but can be really rewarding at the end.
Thank you so much, I've started putting these tips into practice. I attempted a library before I created this thread, and then I made a vet clinic with cottage-feel exterior, and my favourite I finished last night was a wedding chapel where I really used the tips of taking inspiration from pictures online. I also built the chapel partly from the inside out to get a better idea of spacing- I always find I make builds too big otherwise! Thank you so much again :smile:
