Least fav build trends?

non functioning attics and dormer windows, i don't know why but they just annoy me. Maybe because I spend far too much time making sure my attic spaces are fully functional

if your house resembles any of houses in this image it makes me indescribably sad

and that would probably make it my least fave build trend

its partly the lack of symmetry, partly the lack of character and also partly the idk overall boxyboxy in big size

I've tried to make something similar before just so my build fits world around it but oh boy does it make me sad

Suburban doesn't bother me much, it's when they use bulky columns, bulky windows, those big roof frames. Edit: Talked about the homes I've lived around having a different style, decided it was irrelevant.

That to me looks great, in the UK we dont generally have wooden sided properties because (A) we dont have the weather for it and (B) you can only get a mortgage on a fully brick built house over here.

I hate columns too - so annoying as they dont disappear when you cutaway the walls, I also hate front doors that clearly aren't front doors - they are just an ordinary door used as a front door.

I hate cluttered houses - this is why I usually 95 per cent of the time build my own

I hate dark flooring it just makes the rooms look dark, I hate those round disc ceiling lights as they give a weird light off, I prefer and always use wall lights.

I prefer building one storey houses as its easier to see where people are especially if you have a big family.

I really get annoyed when I find a nice place to build and there s a streetlight or big tree right in front of it (off plot) and I know I can't build there because its going to annoy the heck out of me

phew that's all for now I think :D

- Columns: For reasons already said above. Usually I will delete columns and add a 1x1 "room" as the column if it's something not directly attached to the build.
- Diagonal walls: I have no idea why, they just look "off" for some reason. I hateee diagonal walls...
- Terrain: The world around the lots are flat anyway so it looks weird.
- Incredibly bright builds with tons of sized down saucer lights.
- Excessively cluttered builds.
- Builds with hallways or walkways that are one-tile wide.

That's all I got for now lol.

- Columns everywhere. I will go through and delete every single interior column in a house.
- Moveobjectson being used for EVERYTHING and rendering the house unplayable
- Obscene amounts of plants/outdoor decor
- Clutter on every surface

idk it just looks so ugly and soulless to me

maybe because as finnish country human I'm used to smaller wooden houses with lots of cute little detail thingies and this is just opposite and it upsets my brain

ofc its all personal opinions though :smile:

(actually i feel like brick kinda saves it after quick google so :lol: id probably take your UK version rather if i had to)

I just want it to be functional

I don't like the trend of ceiling lights, it exist only these little spotlight and very few alternative. And the alternatives are either not bright enough or too big, so they block the path or the placement of other objects.

I hate the lack of big closets for living rooms and bedrooms. I know, Americans have walk-in closet and don't care about that as long as they don't move into different country, so I just bring it up here. This is pure luxury they have, and they don't even know it. :)

I'm guilty of most of these :#.

I think using columns as trim on houses is builders' way of adding interest to the siding, to kind of give it a less flat look. I do it because the siding with the trim rarely looks right. A lot of the time, some corners on the exterior don't have the trim. It's really frustrating.

For me, I would say probably the chunky roof trim. Also, I'm not a fan of tiny houses. I've built a couple but I don't care for them. I understand the challenge but it's just not for me.

Least favorite build trends? Oh, that's easy. I can't stand that almost every residence has a kids room and monkey bars in the yard. I've never ever seen a yard in real life have one of those, only seen them in parks, but for some reason, every cool house I want to use has at least one. It makes my eyeballs twitch.
