What do you search for in the Gallery?
I've been reading the Things Builders Do that Annoy You thread and it got me thinking about something similar: What do you search for in the Gallery? What kind of lots do you download the most? ...

Let's see some of my recent downloads to get an idea:
I go with the looks first, it needs to look good in the world. Of course the layout has to be logical, but many other things I can fix myself. Sometimes I spend a lot of time removing extra clutter, lights under bushes etc. - but only if I really like the lot. I don't really like to redecorate, so the overall style has to please me. Generally I'm very picky about residential lots, but if I want a specific style that I can't make myself then I will give it a go.
- Myshuno Botanical Gardens (SpecterCody) - I wanted to build my own botanical garden and was looking what others did. I ended up downloading a couple to see them in game and then settled for this one. It was better than what I could have built and even that would have been a huge project...
- The Farm (nikkamore) - I also wanted to build a farm, so the same thing happened as above. Although I need to edit this one a lot for my purposes, the layout was so creative that I had to get it.
- Wild West Saloon (dariakatefina) - I was looking for a new style for Brindleton Bay. Didn't really get enough results for this one, but downloaded a couple.
- Crag Reverie Castle (jm00re123) - Just checking up some castle/ruins buildings.
- Futuristic Bachelor (mmfliflet) - I wanted a completely new style for Windenburg modern district and found a bunch of suitable homes this being one of them.
