Boy, I sure do miss the fixed camera angles and isometric views in TS1! The lack of basements, only two story tall buildings, and roofs with no flat siding sure were a plus! Who needs half walls, curved decks, a build/buy mode search feature and filters anyway, am I right? :D
Oh! And don't even get me started on that plum gallery they got these days. I mean, who didn't love having to recreate your favorite kitchen by scratch every single time back in the day. Being able to load in rooms, or delete them in a single key stroke, is so passe! Why, I cherish the hours I'd have to delete half the walls in a room, just to extend it a few spaces on the grid.
Gave you time to think, you know? ;) Gee whiz, those sure were the days.
Actually if you choose to rework a kitchen over and over that is because you choose to do that - many of us were smart enough to use the blueprint and save the rooms to our save files. Can't help it you didn't think of that. That was in the Sims 3 and just something Maxis saw good enough to do again in Sims 4 - they just don't call it blue print - but it is the same thing. Here's a video from Sims 3 of an entire family home made with the blueprint system in SIMS 3 -

Wow. That's cool. Never thought of using blueprints that way. I rarely re-use rooms or plans though. Prefer to always build as I go. I only ever used the room tool in S4 to save collections because collecting is tedious and boring, imo. Once I've completed a collection, I see no point to ever do it again. Think I might play around with that system though. looks useful.
I use it a lot in Sims 3 as I am a bit of a lazy builder - lol and love to save tons of rooms when I do build something I like.
@Writin_Reg Doesn't that take a mod though? I mean there's no way to just do it in game is there? I would love it if there was and even without it the Sims 3 build engine is better than 4 due to CASt and being able to place lots where you want them in town.
