Downsides of The Sims 4 Building

I 100% agree with this statement. It does have some new innovative aspects to it that are superior to the older games.

What it gets "right" in my opinion:

• Ease of copying rooms and roofs
  
• Freely move windows and doors up and down or side-to-side
  
• Push/Pull of walls
  
• Platform tool that can be raised or lowered
  
• Roof creation tool
  
• And I really like that we can go back and "add" a foundation if we've changed our mind about the design.
  

Where it falls behind for me:

• Can't delete individual floor tiles, it deletes the entire floor from that "room"
  
• Can't place just 1 handrail on stairs, or have the option to delete one of our choice
  
• Fences and Walls must be one-tile away from lot edges
  
• Can't freely remove or add additional world objects (IE: delete that stuuuuupid dinosaur in Oasis Springs, add playground equipment to existing
  

community areas) to customize the world how I want it

What you both said. In addition: There's no auto roof, no ability to have area under a Mansard roof proper living space with windows, insufficient numbers of carpet and other floor tiles - only wood seems adequate, hard to see what's going on with laying floor tiles as area of grid is dark (TS3 carry over), can't put floor tiles on ceilings, too many windows & doors are just black/white/grey - no wood tones. 'Nuff for now.

I once posted on The Sims Reddit the exact same post, but the people didn't get it or disagreed with it, insisting that The Sims 4 Build Mode is superior to previous installments while lacking in everything else.

First of all, I do not think that The Sims 4 Build Mode is superior than previous installments of The Sims in every way, but it is better in some ways, but it is quite lacking in others. Apparently, those people didn't get it.
