Style or function, how do you build?
Builders, what is your ideal lot? Do you care if an item blocks your view when you turn the camera? Would you use a couch as a makeshift headboard for your bed? Did you create the Millennium Falcon be...

I always play a rags-to-riches type of game, even when doing another challenge, so I always build as I go. Function becomes much more important to me than style, because of this. I also use teleport pads that Coolspear created in every room, which means that doors and stairs become irrelevant in my builds, so sometimes I put things in what would seem to be weird places. What I build in Sims 4 is always purely for each specific Sim or family.
It's ironic, because in Sims 3, I was far more of a builder than I am in Sims 4, and I uploaded to the Exchange several times, whereas I never upload to the gallery. Probably because the gameplay in 3 is so much more innately interesting than that of 4 (too bad I can't play Sims 3 anymore; the game glitches out too much now), so if I don't challenge myself in some way, I get bored.
I do download pretty homes from the gallery, but they're always for plopping into other lots for townies to live in. I don't care too much about functionality then; it's mostly for the looks that the homes give the neighborhood screen, in those cases.
