Question about Building houses
What's a good real estate website for houses that show floorplans to recreate in the Sims?
Forum Discussion
Personally, I like Pinterest for ideas but you can find floor plans there too, especially for more historic/old fashioned builds.
I used to just wing it but it felt too fiddly to me and took a long time, I'd get the proportions wrong or end up with a house that's way bigger than what fits in the lot. Now I use an image editing program (PaintTool SAI is what I have but GIMP or something similar would work) and a grid of the lot to scale it down to where it mostly fits within the lot. Then I go over it with a line on the grid, which is probably unnecessary but I like to be extra, and then build it in game. The actual building of the shell takes the least time.

How do you guys adjust the scale from real world house plans to sim world house plans? Or do you just wing it?
