  Hi, Lightests. Here are a few that I have used before: (due to member status, I can't post links yet - I will give you the name of the site and they should come up first thing in a Google search):
  
  Dream Home Source
  ePlans
  Southern Living House Plans
  COOLHouse Plans
  
  
  Most, if not all will allow you to search by rooms, floor levels, type of house, etc. Also, if anyone is looking for a nice interior decorating site, Houzz is a nice site that will also let you search via decor type/theme.
  
  I'd love to see what you come up with once the game comes out. Will you be uploading? Have fun preparing!

  I am not a terrific builder but I like The House Designers.
  
  This site gives me tons of ideas both for building, interior decorating and landscaping. You can choose by the type of home you want as they offer many architectural styles.

  Architecturaldesigns.com is pretty good, they have a big variety. I also use some of the others listed or just do a google image search for floor plans. I do this when I'm looking for unique shaped homes.

  Just google house plans and you will come up with several options. From then on it is just choosing plans according to the style you prefer.

  My houses were 'ok'. I used to use house plans too but I could never figure out how to make rooves work properly, so I always did it automatically. I hope adding rooves are easier in Sims 4.

  The new roofing tool in sims 4 looks like it will make roofing easier @Daelene8 It looks like we can pull the roof in different ways and the roofing of a home looks more enjoyable and fun to do.

  I can say for myself that down here in Australia, my local TV station airs a lot of house design shows. I find it a great way to find new ideas and sometimes they post a house plan along with it.

  House design shows on tv are a great source of ideas for builds @Solace_Sandwich It is great that you can look at the website of the tv shows and find ideas after watching too.

  I know that houzz.com is a very good website, but for a quick search you can also try Pinterest, where you can even find floor plans of your favorite TV shows apartments!!
