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

I do both. I love building and decorating homes for my actively played Sims. :) I also enjoy building community lots like restaurants, parks ect. when I feel inspired.
But I also LOVE to browse through the gallery to find the most amazing community builds!! I don't care about the use of MOO, because with it builders can do stunning lots! <3 When I play in those builds and something isn't working because of MOO, I simply move the object a little bit to the side or delete it, and everything is fine again.

The gallery builds are so inspiring for my gameplay and they often give me new ideas to play. I just love them!
So sad though that the gallery isn't working anymore in Offline-Mode with the EA App. :(

I download most of my houses. I am useless at building. I ocasionally will have a go at building my own house but they are rubbish. I am actually using a house that I built myself in my Aspiration Challenge save and I have to say that I am actually half pleased with it. I would never attempt to build a community lot. I know my limits. I leave things like that to the pros!

My main household, I'll always build their home and shops (which would be 3 lots so far)... because I'm not that great of a builder, it takes way too long for me and I want to "play already". So I seek the work of this amazing and creative community for all the other lots, that search bar never disappoints. I have my perfect Worlds thanks to the gallery.

My biggest weakness in building is structure, its like impossible for me not to end up with a box and terrible roof work... guess I'm good as EA themselves. I hope one day I take the time to learn to be good at it.

Gallery

I download houses from the gallery & then renovate them to my liking. I can’t build. :D

Download from gallery

I don't use gallery for anything--I either build my own, or remodel an existing one

I download a lot of houses. But I really like starting with a tiny house and adding on to it sort of higgledy piggledy. I like the results and can mess with the house over and over.

I enjoy both. It’s rare for me to keep a gallery house as is, though. I always make modifications. For example, my favorite gallery build is a bowling alley I converted into a residence.

I can't build to save my life. I've tried many times, and some turn out okay but not Instagram or YouTube worthy, so most download galleries from my favorite builder.
