- I have been in several beautiful churches that use Eichler-like design. I love that style for a church or library or school. It doesn't really feel homey to me though.
I don't love that late 60s-70s ranch style of house with the low ceilings.
I love Craftsman and California Mission style homes. (Though I suppose that's a bit older than mid-century...) - this is very interesting - in the UK the only one storey homes we have (apart from flats) are bungalows and 75% of them are mostly lived in by elderly/disabled persons as its easier to have access to all rooms and get about. I had to look up mid century moderns and Eichler Homes, got some great floor plans! IRL I live in a two storey house, but in the Sims 95 per cent of the time I build bungalows because its easier to keep track of where my sims are and what they are up to!!

I love craftsman style as well, particularly a fan of Greene and Greene. Not as much a fan of Mission style.
Interestingly enough, the town I live in now, is mostly victorian, craftsman, and mission style houses. Sadly though, a lot of the victorians are only two colors of paint, and at this point, almost any style of house around here may have a stucko finish, even some historic victorians that were definitely siding/shingles etc. previously.- I don't know if I have favorite ?
I tend to design and decorate to the sims personality, story etc. I don't put as much effort into curb appeal as I do the interior which can literally be a suburban cookie cutter but that sim is all about boho or island decor. It really depends on the situation for me
I also don't really match neighborhood themes so if they feel like a sim that would have a palm tree in New crest but they aren't "island life" but maybe just love costal themes then they get a palm tree.
So... yeah...I decorate to the sim and not to a particular fave I have. - Hauk1204 years agoSeasoned AceYes, I like that style, I used to build it a lot in the past, but now I'm more into the victorian style :)
Here are two houses i built based on that style:

- PixelsaurusWrex4 years agoSeasoned AceWell, you guys inspired me to give this style a go. Found a cute little house on Zillow for inspiration and I love how it turned out! I even removed my mods and CC so I can be more creative with the in-game and debug objects.

Super Cute! You did an awesome job, not only on building but decorating too! It always amazes me how good some houses can look with just game items. - SEREFRAS4 years agoLegendIt's handy for my Futuristic play.
- aw too bad @SimKeats - victorians ought to have lots of color :)
- LiELF4 years agoLegendNo, not a fan of Mid Century Modern at all. It's probably my least favorite style. I look at it and I just think of those old ugly cinema styles in the 1970s. Too many straight lines and bright awful color combos.
But I'm from New England where we have a variety of Victorian mansions and Federal styles and Georgian, Colonial, Shingle and the like (as well as Farmhouse and Ranch and Cape Cod and everything else, lol). I like architecture that looks like it has a history or mystery or that it's haunted or hiding magic or secrets. Probably has to do with the kinds of books I read growing up. The House With A Clock In Its Walls comes to mind, that's still one of my favorite stories. (Not the film, the movie changed everything and was a horrible travesty.)
Frank Lloyd Wright is pretty cool though. He does some really unique designs that are truly fascinating.
