Do you build your own house or do you download from gallery?

I sometimes download but usually build my own, though I very often start my builds with the Maxis shell houses and go from there. Partly because that way I know it will fit the area they are located in, but also because it helps with things like roof-structures that I really hate to build. When not building from shell houses, I build from real blueprints of houses as I have no architectural skills but love the design elements more.

I do love building parks though. Those I often build from scratch.
