It's difficult to be completely accurate with any home in Sims 4 because of some of the limitations. I just attempted to build a craftsman home. I enjoyed the challenge but had to accept not being able to put in the all the details listed on a website that explained craftsman style with a simple covered porch, central communal area, the columns with overhanging eaves, and low-pitched gable roofs. Natural materials are used with earthy colors and exposed beams as well. It was interesting. I am happy with how my house came out but wasn't able to do a low-pitched roof as the second floor was attic-style using the half gables and a full gable on top and it won't line up well unless the top is higher than it should be. And no exposed beams that I could find. Same with Victorian houses as we don't have the fancy woodwork for the exterior that adds the charm to Victorian homes. Maybe someday....
Yeah, that's fair, particularly about the roof issues. I just think there's a big difference between something like, say, Simsie's craftsman (say what you will about Simsie, she knows her way around a craftsman; even if the interiors don't feel 100% true to life, the exteriors are immediately recognizable as such).. versus some of the others, that are 100% just plain old contemporary.
