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

I mostly build my own, unless I’m doing a Maxis shell challenge.
I’ve even sometimes build a house for my daughter, so that she can download it from the Gallery. My daughter doesn’t like to build much. So sometimes I’ll ask her what theme she wants & then I make sure to only use the packs that she has to build it. She really appreciates it.?

I’m just the opposite, I sometimes download my daughters community lots. And sometimes even some of her families, she often has ones that have completed aspirations that I can use for like a bakery shop ( so stuff doesn’t spoil ). She also has a lot of retail, and she has someone upgrading furniture and stuff, which I don’t normally take the time or detail to do.

I download my houses from the Gallery all the time, I don't have the patience to make my own.
I have also downloaded malls and other builds from the gallery as well.

If I need a build for one of my SimLit stories and I'm really in a rush I download from the gallery and then do a little redecorating to fit the story. Otherwise I do my own builds. I've gotten comfortable and gained a lot of confidence in my building skills so it's really fun and helps with inspiration for my writing.

I always build my own houses; I've only ever gotten Community lots from the gallery.

iam terrible at coming up with a house design that would be realistic iam also terrible at interior decorating so i always download lots however i do not use the gallery i always use the sims resource (the free version i refuse to pay for mods or CC)

i did the same thing in FF14 my interior decorating skills are 0 i couldnt come up with something on my own if i wanted so i just went online and used other peoples designs to decorate my house

There are some great builders on the Gallery but I enjoy building and landscaping so I just do it myself. Landscaping is relaxing to me, once I figure out what I want that is.

I build my own.
I may occasionally download another simmer's lot if what they have is really good and I don't have time to build it myself.
Hogwarts castle, for example.

I'm a completely hopeless builder so I basically always use pre-existing houses and edit them to fit my needs. So Gallery is utilized fairly regularly. Though I dislike how many of their "starter houses" are overcluttered with excessive MOO use and basically anything but a starter house when you look at the price, but that's when my own editing happens. And/or cheats. Often have to use freerealestate in order to afford the thing, then can lower the funds later.

I do a bit of both. I quite enjoy building & am in the process of redoing all the Maxis made lots. I do download quite a few houses from the Gallery but usually end up adjusting them a bit to be more to my own taste.

I can't build at all, so I download houses from the gallery. I also use Maxis made houses that are already in the game.
I'm forever grateful for the builders who share their amazing creations in the gallery. :) :+1:
