What's Your Favorite House Type

i'm a bad builder and my laptop is quite bad so i prioritize the utility of the house rather than its looks. sometimes i just get a house from the gallery (or keep those that already come in the game) but remove the furniture. the house inside is a mess but at least it keeps a pretty neighborhood

Favourite house type varies. Normally traditional (tiny home or medium sized) but with huge windows. I really love having lots of windows.

I made a house with all windows all around and put it on the land where the museum sits in Brindelton.

I'm not too picky as to style. Generally I prefer houses that are at max 2 stories above ground, and a single basement below ground for items I don't want to have in the above ground living spaces (home gyms, workrooms, etc.). I'll download larger homes/mansions from the Gallery mainly for looks and to house Sims I'm not actively playing. Favorite lot size is 40x30 -- it gives enough space to have the type of house I like while leaving enough room for a decent sized yard for gardening/family activities.

How often do you download Lots from the Gallery, and do you use them right away or store them for another time?

My faves are victorian big houses. I used to download a lot from the gallery. Atm im playing offline, so i can't. I ised to download at the moment that i wanted a lot and used it right away.

I prefer small-ish homes. Usually one level. I'm eclectic, so I base the style on what I think the sim is about. And it depends on how I see them in the world of my sim community. Some are poor, some are mega-rich.

I will dl from the gallery if it's a house style I am not good at. That's usually big old victorian homes or such. But when I DL, I dl it unfurnished. And I find I usually make changes to it.
I also dl if I am in a hurry for something and don't feel like taking the time to build it. But again, unfurnished.

I'm not very good at building, so my homes tend to be pretty simple, and are usually on the smaller side (12x20 is about as big as I usually go). It's very rare that I download something from the gallery

I download a LOT of small- to medium-sized Midcentury Modern lots with attractive landscaping. I just can't stop myself! I'd probably have to play for a hundred years to use them all, but at least I have them in my library. :)

I also love cabins and other natural-style lots. I downloaded one last night and actually used it right away instead of just storing it like a Midcentury Lot Librarian. :lol:

I build about half of my houses.

Now I'll be on the hunt for 70s houses with split-level living rooms!

My current house is 40x30 Gothic mansion with each individual room following different styles. Some more modern, some gothic. The house is 2 floors tall with second "House" located underground, also 2 stories.

Overall I prefer Gothic or modern designs, with size being relatively irrelevant.

Victorian, often from one of the many period plans I have. I like large lots so there's ample room for gardens and orchards. Have experimented with making the apt. I live in. Poor sim!
