It is frustrating to try to live in one of those houses that have been MOO'd to death. I downloaded a cute little house for SE and was so happy to get it because it was just so darling, and in a style I would have never come up with. Only to discover that the thing had pathing problems and the tub was unusable because it had been crammed in - and it was the only tub, no shower, so, woops big problem. Also they had MOO'd a door in some weird way that the whole wall was open to the outside. That took a while to figure out. I usually just delete those houses but this one was so perfect for a particular sim that I went on and did a big reno. Mainly I just made it a bit bigger to give things room to breathe. But the whole time I fiddled I was kicking myself for doing it. Of course now I am glad I did, because it just fits this sim so perfectly.
I playtest all my builds, and since hearing the complaints and computer issues with clutter I've been paying more attention to how much I put into my builds. I only have a few on the gallery, and one of my first builds is stuffed with stuff LOL. Well, live and learn. I also don't use MOO or CC because I like the challenge of building and playing vanilla.
I don't ever use MOO for a variety of reasons. The biggest one is I lack the knowledge of even
how to use it. Something either fits into the floorplan, or it doesn't. If it doesn't then I may edit the build a bit until it does fit. I recall what I ended up having to do with the older build (a replica of my Grand Aunt and Uncle's house built after the Civil War) when I went platform nuts. LOL For some reason, the door to the bedroom next door disappeared, after placing platforms to raise the now Child's side of the room. I could not get the door back in place. In fact, the only wall it would work in, (since the other two walls were exterior) was the wall shared by the adjacent bathroom. I ended up having to create a small hallway to assure the privacy of a Sim using said bathroom, and the Sim who needed to check on the infant, since that bedroom was the Nursery. It was a tad weird, and messed up the floorplan, but it worked.
