Things builders do that annoys you?

I want to start off by saying how appreciative I am of this community's builders. But I thought it would be cool to discuss common pet peeves we have when downloading lots off the gallery. Small things that you feel like you must "fix" or that make you scrap it and go for another lot entirely.
For me, its when the toilets dont have toilet paper next to them. I know the sims dont really use it but I get paranoid about it and must have it on the wall next to every toilet. This is something I fix in every lot i download lol. What about you guys?

This bothers me enough that I don't even download the lot, because it has me questioning the builder's integrity too much already

You are either gonna be totally okay or hate me for this, but, I did this:
By accident. I swear.
I get that TS4 doesn't have a lot of stuff and people have to get creative but most of the time people make objects unplayable with this.
Sorry but what is 'Moo'? Miscellaneous objects?
Lol, i've had that happen where sometimes I just cant get it to go any lower and get frustrated with it, its soo annoying!

As for the question about what moo means, it means move objects on. It allows to to place objects anywhere when you are normally aren't able to.
Lets make this a reality!
Oh yeah I hate this too. It's good for machinima and the like, but it can break a game. Yeah, no thanks.
Some people mentioned clutter. I'm only annoyed by it if it bumps the price of a lot TOO much. As someone who rarely uses cheats I sometimes have to go around selling piles of books and letter piles so my Sims can afford it. It can look good and realistic, there needs to be a good balance.
I'm just the opposite actually, the toilet paper is kind of useless, so I usually remove it when I need to make room for something else, especially in small bathrooms when I need to squeeze in a potty chair or litter box.
But I have to agree, MOO and clutter are my biggest two problems. Also, houses that clearly aren't playtested and there are routing failures, missing doors, so forth. Even downloaded a two story home with no stairs. I can understand missing minor things, like a door, trash can, whatever, but not stairs.
Sometimes the stairs disappear if MOO isn't enabled, so that might be the issue.

Also: overuse of that one lattice rug in like every dining room ever. Here's a pic if you don't know which one I mean:
And this last one is just my preference, but some builders' tendency to only use white or very light colored paint and wallpaper. I've always loved darker rooms, and white walls drive me crazy. Not sure why, but that's another one of the first things I do when I download a lot: change the wall colors to something darker.

- Putting Windows and cabinets way roo high. Sims don't use them but seeing a cabinet attached to the roof of the highest wall setting is ridiculous.
*raises hand* I also hate that rug.
like the other day i was searching for lots for granite falls, so I type in #granitefalls and of course, a Penthouse shows up at the top of the list! Description completely full with tags, including Granite Falls... Well, when I confronted the builder about that they just disallowed comments lol
Same here
And the lights; what's with all the lights some people put in
