Where does your sim live?
Hey everyone. Been thinking of doing this poll for a while now. I'm curious where everyone's sims live, and what I mean by that is: where do you get your houses? Do you build them yourself? Download t...

I usually build and decorate my own houses. I never use floor plans but I will sometimes takes inspiration from pictures of houses. Sometimes I redesign and redecorate in game houses or houses downloaded from the gallery, but these tend to be a lot more hassle and I find it's easier to just build lots from scratch inspired by them.
I am the same, don't like it when the view is obscured by columns, ceiling beams, wardrobes and bookshelves, etc. Many houses on the gallery are like that, and with tiny rooms also so you need to keep spinning the camera to see your sims or the object they need to use. This is also one of the reasons why real house plans don't work nicely in the sims. Sometimes you want to take advantage of the lot light, orientation, size or preferred camera view.

I can't use gallery homes, community lots yes, but never houses. I play like a doll's house, practically never panning around, camera centered on the lot and everything has to be visible/clickable without me having to constantly adjust the view. This stems from years of having weak computers and playing ts2/ts3 with lag, so moving the camera a lot was always making my fps drop.
Now I don't need to anymore but I kept the habit and I like seeing where all my sims are quickly. Gallery houses are all well designed and cluttered, I just hate having to rotate the view everytime I need to click on the fridge or send my sims to bed (I make exceptions for patio/backyards)! Also it always feels more at home when you design and build yourself, I always start rags to riches style, empty lot no money and go from there. By the time the house is complete it has history and memories, I enjoy my gameplay more that way.
