Build Mode Ideas

Sims 4 has a pretty cool build mode but regardless of that I find there's a bit of a lack of innovation. As in, there isn't really anything new and instead some features that we had before have been taken away (-cough- multiple foundation levels -cough-). I would really love to see these things added in to build mode and then us builders can really get creative with our sims lots.
- U and L shaped stairs. I know this has been mentioned a million times and now I'm mentioning it for the million and one(th?) time. Please! Imagine the creativity in houses if we could make L or U shaped stairs! Now I know you can sort of use the foundation trick but I'd prefer to not have to do that. Maybe a new foundation block for use of stairs only that are able to be used more than once so we can get creative with our shapes. We have this too now.
- Changing ceiling tiles. No matter if we're not staring at the ceiling at all times, we could do it before so why not again?
- Ceiling decor. Like arches, beams, tray ceiling style, vaulted ceilings. Ever had a fence on the top floor because you've made an open living room only to see that there's just this odd thin space and you so wish there was ceiling deco to cover underneath that fence? Yeah same.
- Different foundation heights. Instead of one height for the entire lot. I assume we'd need to go back to the foundation placement tool, I'm cool with that alongside the foundation height slider. Rooms would come with no foundation but can be placed on top of one. We have this now but you can't really connect the rooms if they're of different foundation levels.
- More everything. More walls/floors, more plants, more roof tiles, more windows, more doors, more colours for those windows and doors, just more everything, there's not enough.
- Attics. Able to be have an attic room with a sloped ceiling.
- Octagonal Roofs. I forgot this one but how can we build octagonal rooms but have no octagonal roofs? We have this now yay
- Rounded walls. We can build round rooms that can use a round fence but not a round wall.
Maybe a builders pack would be good, since these stuff packs are meant to be replacing the store now. I wouldn't mind that.

yesterday I was in the buil mode.
There I've seen what I would like to have.
Awnings like in the sims 2:

You could drag them around the house on each floor.
That would be more flexible.
More floorsas we have now. I know that you have the possibility for only 6 floors (including 2 basement floors), but if you would bring 2 more over the earth that would be so cool (WE NEED 8 or more!!!!!)

Other roof shapes were awesome:

Turnstiles (revolving doors), escalators and elevators.
Perhaps we get something like this in the future?
greetings
I would actually love this
Awesome ideas!
I would love rounded walls but I think back in S3 a guru said it was because they couldn't get a flat door/window in a rounded wall.
Well that does make sense. Perhaps although it's rounded it works like an octagonal room? That would be easier to put doors and windows in to it.
It depends on the radius of the room and the size of the door/window. If you have a large, round room with a single door or window, it might work and look okay. But, if you have the opposite, a small, round room and double windows/doors, the center of the doors/windows will be too offset from the radius of the wall to line up and work properly.

I think that if we added ceiling colors or patterns, it'd look a lot nicer, even though we're not looking at it, if you know what I mean. Also, U and L shaped stairs would be awesome! And possibly spiral ones too?
I really hope the developers look into this, because it'd make build mode a lot more entertaining!
Kind of but that's not my whole idea. Its very hard to explain, but I'll try:
I mean that you have the wall of the ground floor and first floor and you have a roof on top of that. The ground floor is just the height of a wall. But that wall extends into the first floor. So a bit of the first floor is half a ground floor wall and then a diagonal roof. If you have dormers on this roof the bottom of the dormers meet the tip of the wall.
I hope my explaination makes sense

I wish we could do this and have different number of stairs.
YES! I want these the most and more flexibility with stairs.

If I understand what you mean, you can have a second floor with a full height wall or an attic with a roof and dormers, but you can't have a roof on a half wall (on the second floor).
