You're a genius. This information is so helpful to some of us who are not quite that good at building yet in the Sims 4. Thank you for sharing. Have a SIMply marvelous day.
Hello @LokiSimsies Thankyou very much for posting the links to the inspiration houses and floorplans sites. They are great! I have added them to the houses and floor plans post, which is linked to in the second post of this thread.
Many video tutorials have been added to the first page over the last couple of days. Some of the videos are:
The Sim Supply Sims 4 Tutorial videos
Video one : Advanced Counter Placement
Video two : How to Scale Objects
Video three : Understanding How Rooms Work
Video four : Roofing Tips
Just a little reminder to simmers in case they weren't aware that there were debug lights that came in the lastest patch update! They don't transfer yet to the gallery, but are great to use in builds for our own selves.

I saw them and they don't put out much light. I'm hoping when they become "official" that the bugs will be worked out and they actually light up an area like the old debug lights in Sims 3.
I went to the library today and got some new floor plan books. So, my tip? Check out your local library. Mine has two (TWO!!) entire sections on glorious stuff that I can use on builds (that's hundreds of books...hundreds). Everything from floor plans to swimming pool designs to interior design to landscaping. I was like a kid in a candy store. I rarely venture outside the floor plan section of the library so was surprised to see all the other books I had overlooked.
And....the best part? There will be multiple books on houses found in your own area.
ETA: I checked out 5 books and the librarian says "Oh, you've got all the same type of books...." and gives me a questioning look. I rather sheepishly (yes, I get embarrassed admitting I play a game) say "Oh, I like to build in Sims" and she starts gushing "Oh, my sister and I do that all the time!" Then another librarian chimes in that she is also a builder. HEHEHE! Sim builders are everywhere.
Visiting the library and borrowing floor plans books is a great idea! @LokiSimsies It is great that the librarians at your local library are simmers too! Like you said, there are simmers everywhere! Thanks for the tip about the floor plan books at the library.
Hey Rosemow! You are such a sweetie for wanting to set this up for all of us. I am definitely bookmarking this thread! I've spotted a few links that I really want to check out. And, now that I know that Ruthless has a tutorial in one of the links .... woohoooo!!! lol
Hi Rose I thought you would want to know about a build guide I made over at Sims VIP...it is mostly geared towards beginner builders and has a ton of tips and how to stuff. I tried to cover the basics for everything
