What sized homes do you prefer?

I always prefer one story homes, especially now when the stairs are bugged.
However, I often end up using two story homes when my sims are ready to upgrade and move away from the starter home. It's really difficult to find one story homes in gallery that aren't starter homes and I can't build at all.

@Kimmer I don’t make a lot of houses, but I have 2 one story homes on the gallery, that are actually copies of homes in my neighborhood. I’m terrible at making roofs unless I can actually see what they look like, which I could with those two, and the insides follow the floor plan too, I think they are California dreaming 1 and 2. They have garages. Under SheriSim or SheriSim57. I found another simmer that has houses with garages too, I’m not sure how many 1 story they have here is their ID: DZIDZIAK86

Thanks. :)
I'll check on those the next time I play.

Usually I like two story homes that are like actual homes, not mansions with three to four bedrooms so my families can stay in them long term.

irl i very much prefer small one story houses cause lmao functional purposes and easy to maintain

but in sims I find them kinda boring to build
and just problematic
cause routing and all random items i wanna fit that id never need irl :lol:
so the houses often end up like 2-3 storey basic family houses

+ find it nicer when i can just add different rooms on different levels so i don't have to move around on lot all the time and search for my sims in sea of rooms so i certainly rather add new floors than width to my build

i do also really like making big ridiculous mansions or castles sometimes though

but i feel it gets little overwhelming to play

like this one haunted mansion I have been playing few months now that has like 5 levels...



but i do find it fun cause well who doesn't love big spoopy mansions y know

Large in general. I usually always add a basement at some point and play with eight sims. It does, depend, though. If I am renovating a premade house, I usually have to add a lot more layers to get the space I need compared to when I build them myself.

My most recent example is a family of eight siblings. I moved them into a premade house that was two stories with three bathrooms and three bedrooms. I was able to cram them in, but especially as I started working on school projects and sending some to college and employment it was not enough space. I added a third floor to make them two floor bedrooms and a basement for offices, two bathrooms, a yard fence, and two laundry rooms.

I am also really enjoying the haunted houses, so most of my main residential builds are.

Max 2 floors + basement. Its also more about the size of the property, as I also need a fairly large greenhouse with room for one of each plant.

One story but like really huge cuz sims take 10 years to climb up the stairs. XD

I like to have variety for my families. Don't really like big houses though.

My 69 households live in all kinds of buildings, but my favourites are small two-story houses, with the living room, kitchen/dining area and a small bathroom downstairs, bedrooms and possibly more bathrooms upstairs. A bungalow is also nice as long as it's not too big; nothing looks weirder than a one-story house that takes up half a square kilometre of space.

I would enjoy apartments more if we could build our own and most of them weren't in my least favourite world. What I don't like at all is huge modern homes with an open floor plan. Apart from not knowing what to do with all that space, I'm just not into the big warehouse vibe.

Mainly one story or two story, I guess. Sometimes a basement is fun to have and sometimes I like to have a larger mansion. I dislike cramped homes, but in the end it depends on the family's needs, the layout and furnishings.
