Sometimes I just get a picture in my mind of how I want something to look like. I even did stuff like this when I was a kid, and way before I even got into playing any of the Sims games. Most of the time what I like doing is taking building either from the gallery or that are already in the game and add to them, either new designs or just updating them for the packs that are not already in them.
One of my favorite things to do is to add a sleeping quarter and adding showers to the community lots, especially those in San Myshuno. I have issues with the festivals, where if I have my sim leave before it is over, things don't completely clear up, and it gets very messy when the next festival rolls around. To make matters worse, usually, after the festival has completely cleared up, the game won't let my sim go home, because a "vampire is breaking in", so it usually means my sim can't go home until around 6 am.

Added a little internet cafe, because I can't even tell you the number of times it was raining, and the geek festival going on at the game time. It won't count if your sim is trying to play the contest, but gives them a little something to do if the electronics outside are getting fried in the rain.

Turned the second floor into a one bedroom apartment, although it is still labeled as a karaoke bar. But I did this for several reasons, the main one being what I already mentioned, and also when it is time for Father Winter to show, and he does show up. I just keep my sims around till a little after 2 am, so he doesn't show up at their homes. He does a really good job leaving when he is supposed to here. Plus not all my sims have room in their homes for a Christmas Tree and a big dining table for those Grand Meals.

I added glass roofs to locations, such as this one at the gym in San Myshuno.
