In my opinion nearly all premade houses in Del Sol Valley look ugly and plain. And I'm not alone with this, there have been Game Changers that also commented this. The houses appear to be rushed, as if they were built the night before SimsCamp. Just compare them to the houses in Brindleton Bay or Windenburg...I hope the houses in Del Sol Valley get a little makeover before release!What do you guys think?BTW looking at this is triggering my OCD so muchhttps://i.imgur.com/A3mlmOa.jpg

I always bulldoze all the game lots first thing so not a concern for me. ? Can't wait until our awesome community builders start uploading lots to the gallery.

I haven't actually looked at them yet because I want to be a little surprised when I play for the first time. TBH though, I thought that most of the pre-built houses in Brindleton Bay and Windenburg (and the other neighborhoods too) were pretty ugly and I still enjoyed those packs, so I don't think it'll matter too much to me if I hate them. I'll either give them a makeover myself or download something off the gallery.

I bulldoze and build my own so it doesn't matter to me what they have with the game. Premades get evicted and deleted too! ( This is MY game) lol

Also I don't like to replace all the buildings everytime I start a new game.

I guess it's easier for me because I only have one save so only have to replace whatever lots come with the new world.

Del Sol Valley houses nearly all look bad

I've noticed with Expansion and Gamepacks that items and furnishings for their lots use the pack items to show them off easily. It is up to you to put your additional stuff in. EA don't know what packs you have already so use Basegame and that pack only.

I always tries to give the premade house a "makover" or renovation, trying to keep the original style on the outside but fix the things i dont like. However if i despise the build, i delete it and build a new one but still in the style with the neighbourhood. Seems to work quite well for me but i got too many old builds that ill start over from scratch once more in a week or so and get the expansion whenever im done haha.

The funny thing is that (at least from what I've seen) most of the furniture in the houses, even in the celebrity mansions, are from base game instead of from Get Famous and some gameplay objects that come with this pack like drones or the video creation station are nowhere to be found in Del Sol Valley

Someone said the game wasn't all done when they played so they will definitely fix some things.
But the houses looks fine to me. Better than what I can build.
