ah the good old no privacy glass box concept i did lots of that in ts3
but yeah i think most of us (me included) make very small kitchens and toilets cause the size doesnt really matter in the game it functions same
but in reality you would probably like to switch the priorities and get them comfortable size
same for ladders over any other types of stairs when you have like million storey buildings
as for lights i feel like people usually use too many of those saucer friends and overlight the room so it has the flattest lighting ever
personally i really dislike this look so i would often try to include table,floor and wall lights instead to make things moody
but then again its also ridiculous cause the amount of candles i use would surely be fire hazard
and yeah why would anyone care for my opinions anyway
last 2 things i designed were death pits
