so yeah the houses that are premade in the new vampire pack are just not exactly for me but the issue i have now is i am not that great at building however i want things custom made for me except i cant create anything good right now not for a lack of ideas just my ideas do not seem to be what i want and are more based on what other people want. if that makes any sense.

That's perfectly okay, neither am I.
Some people cannot even place windows at a correct height.

Me too, but i keep trying to build and i end up making pretty little house in my opinion.
So just keep practicing
well its like right now i am trying to build a mannsion for my vampire sims i want to test out but the issue i have is i also want a small garden to make plasma furits and the house to be able to be suitable for at least 2 vampires and several non vampires who would be really slaves more then anything really like there main focus would be going to work and that is about it.
If you look online for free floor plans many of them can be converted to TS4 builds. I do that a lot. If you find one you like, I could try to build it for you, if you want.
i tired that and the house is okay it just feels odd like its missing something i cant fully explain.
thanks i think it was you i actually noticed you help improve one of my other houses a bit before i would actually kind of like that.
I'm not that good at building. In my game I'm playing now, I took the farmhouse design from stardew valley and made a farm on my lot. I put the plants where I have them in my stardew valley game and built a barn. I then put a cowplant in front and fenced him in with a gate.
Here is the lot. It's a night time upload but you should be able to see the build.

I think this is a great idea!! Taking pictures on your phone when your walking around is a fun way to get exterior shots of buildings that you are inspired by too. Floor plans are an awesome idea.
You could also download builds from the Gallery and plop in your game and look at how the creator has built stuff. Every builder is different and you will be able to learn a lot of things from doing that.
My advice would be try to make it small, keep it to as few floors as you can and plan it on a small lot. The biggest lot I've ever built was 30x40 lot, usually I aim for smaller. Even if you manage to make the exterior look nice it can be difficult to find a purpose to all rooms. Also give yourself the time needed. When I start building a medium size home I know it's gonna take two days at least until I'm happy with it.

I always feel creepy doing it, but if you see a house you like on the street, I use google maps street view to check it when I build. I feel kind of stalkery, but it's the best I can get because I can't really take a pic with my phone when I am driving by the house!
