My favorite part of building is right in the beginning, in which I create the layout of the house and cap it off with a good-looking roof. Creating the overall structure of the home is my favorite part. I may also do some landscaping, such as adding soil and plants around the house. As for furnishing, I tend to be very simplistic because I feel that the furnishing should be customized for the family moving in. So, very often, I would just add in the basic fixtures for the kitchen and the bathroom, so then I can have the whole house ready for moving in.

My mind goes blank when I'm presented with an empty lot so I rarely build but sometimes I get the urge to design a home for a particular sim. Then my favorite part is searching floor plan sites for something appropriate and recreating it in game.

My favorite part of building is the challenge to take a house, whether from a pic or real life, and try to re-create it in my Sims game. I spend time researching real life houses (especially the haunted ones!) and attempt to make them as close as possible to the real one. I really enjoy decorating homes as well. Being able to actually play with your sims in the homes you build is so much fun!

My favorite part of building is to play in my creations. :* I don't see the point of creating something if I can't play with it after.

I guess real answer is: When my build actually amounts to something i like and i can bathe in the self appreciation when playing in that build :lol:but yeah as for actual building I really love trying to match it to the world/lot/neighborhood and sims living in the house and stories i wish to tellI do often really struggle with interior though because of limits of how i built my exterior all nice and didn't consider rooms :sweat_smile: and what i struggle most with is building anything big and without having any particular story or theme that kills my spirits very fast

I’m not a good builder. At all. In fact, building stresses me out. I am good at setting up and decorating the interior spaces for my sims needs. I often download a nice house from the gallery, then do an major interior makeover. I actually wish there were more shells. I like shells…

My favourite part is to idealize the floorplan. That's the only thing i do by myself without taking inspiration (or plain copying) from decoration sites :lol:

My favorite part is where I play with my Sims in the build, but that may not count. I'm honestly not sure if I have a favorite part otherwise. I like sketching out my builds, I like building them and doing the interiors too, but I probably like conceptualizing the builds best.

I love to build houses and especially venues. Usually I build from my imagination though ocassionally I may get inspired by some building or feature seen online and try to incorporate and adapt it to my buildings. The best part is at the end, when the house or venue are done and I do a test run and sims route properly and use the objects on the lot autonomously and as intended.

I guess my favorite part of building is when I start to put paint/wallpaper and carpet/tile. I also like trying to get the roof right for the build which can also nearly frustrate me to tears.

My buildings tend to be "The box a house comes in", but every so often I'll get a roof join just right—where it's not a perfectly rectangular house but I don't get any weird angles or places where rain or snow would collect if the roof were built that way in the real world. Getting a half-hipped roof underneath a gabled roof so it's seamless is my favorite little building challenge.

Transforming the idea, whether entirely from my head or a book of plans, into reality; a house of whatever nature that my sims may call home.
