Okay, admit it--when you're out and about, you totally look at houses and think, 'I know how I could make that roof line/chimney/porch/etc. in The Sims!'

Surely I can't be the only one who looks at houses from a totally different perspective as a result of playing this game franchise for years. ;)

    I see a lot of houses while riding the train to class every day but there is this one house in particular that I think is really cute and would make a great family home. I started building it last night. ^.^ I love looking up houses online and trying to re-create them!

    I hope my Sims and lots aren't too terrible!

    I look for modern/cottage types, but I live in an area where it's all repetitive townhomes :'(

    Aw, that's a bummer. I happen to live in an area where there are some really pretty homes. Maybe looking at house plans and pictures online would make for good inspiration. :(

    Yup...I do it all the time. I love to look at houses! I have been known to tell my husband to slow down and go back past an interesting house so I can snap a picture to try to build later. Luckily, he was a real estate agent at one point and loves looking at houses too.

    And...more than once I have been with my daughters at the mall or whatever, and one of them will whisper..."that guy over there totally looks like a sim" And the other one will say " yeah I could make him so easily" LOL :)

    I do that all the time. I live just a few minutes away from a beach community with some very gorgeous houses that have intricate designs. I wish I could get pictures of them so that I can try my hand at making them, but traffic never allows for the time.

    Yes, absolutely!

    Not only when noticing the exterior; but also when walking through a lovely or interesting home, my brain remembers the floor plan easily. So, I look to those memories when laying out Sims’ homes. :)

    OMG yesss! I totally do this! I also just pay close attention to materials/colors/styles/decorative touches.. ect. I actually want to go into interior design or architecture in RL.

    Before building again in the Sims 4, I didn't. Now that I'm building in Sims 4. I do. :smile:

    Never fear, you'll get better! My first houses in each version of the Sims looked pretty rough, too. But I think it's almost more difficult to make an ugly house in TS4 because the tools are so good. I bet you're just being too hard on yourself. ;)
