Most times I like modern houses or lofts. I also hate lots of walls. I like open spaces so I can play with walls up. These types are my favorite but I like imagining characters so it depends on the family I'm playing. I also have a trailer park and RV park, and old Victorian houses.
I love finding small and cosy gothic styled homes for my sims. I think it just reflects on the type of place I'd love to live if it were possible. The interior's either classical/Victorian. For some reason I just can't get into the modern theme that well. If I'm not going for the gothic look, I turn towards Tudor themed places.
I play families legacy st yle so usually I go for larger houses. If they aren't random builds depending on my needs at the time they'll be historically themed. At the moment my sims live in houses with Tudor-style beams.
Mostly houses like I see in real life.
Some modern, some older houses but with contemporary furniture inside.
Occasionally thematic, I have a victorian house but also a bio dome in Oasis Springs.
I have lots of sims and like Variety in my Sims homes that I think fit the main Sims personality in each house. I would never enjoy a carbon copy of every house in a neighborhood. Like to mix it up.

I mix it up because I have different styles of homes in different worlds. Also it depends on the sim or family I’m playing and what suits their personality and lifestyle most.
My sims live in whatever I build, of course. My personal favorite style blends Art Deco with Modern industrial. That said, my homes in the sims are all over the spectrum. I start building and let the build decide the type of house. With that strategy, I've built all kinds of things from Gothic Victorian to French Provincial to Mission and everything in between.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
I usually build a 2bed/1bath mobile home for my Sim(s) to start with. As the money and family grows, so will the house - to a 3bed/2bath house (sometimes, with a 1bed/1bath "pool house" too - if I didn't make the pool too big)!
All different kinds because I play rotationally. I prefer single level floor plans for the most part. I'm not good at the Victorian era so usually download that type of house from the gallery and make the changes I want once I see it unfurnished.
I like smaller, more realistic size houses. I don't like wasting a lot of sim-time getting from the livingroom to the kitchen. Or from the livingroom to the bed. And the room size has to be furniture appropriate so as it fits in nicely. I find I build the room around the furniture rather than try to fill a big room with "stuff".
Ever since Cats & Dogs and Seasons came out, I've been having a blast making Craftsman or Cottage homes. Now that I know how to make the attics functional living spaces I really enjoy playing them. This is just one of a handful I've made during the past couple of months.

My sims live in homes that suit their personality so the houses that I use/build vary in style. My recent builds include a Victorian mansion, a modern villa, a country cottage and a comfortable mobile home.
It depends on the world I'm playing in. Almost all of the Willow Creek homes are Victorian & Traditional in my game Newcrest is entirely modern/contemporary, Oasis Springs is Spanish and Tuscan styled-homes, Windenburg favors Tudor-style architecture, Forgotten Hollow is all Gothic, anything else looks weird in that world. Del Sol has modern/cape cod/Meditteranean type houses. Brindleton Bay has the most diverse combination of contemporary craftsman, colonial, country, and bungalow/beach houses.
Different styles for different families! It all depends on the story and the style that fits the sim. Using my legacies as an example, I've had them in gothic homes, modern homes, and renovated farmhouses so far.

Same. I love cute little cottages, Victorian and Gothic style builds. I like the American Craftsman style too, but I'm not usually as keen on modern.

I'm the same.
I like functional boxes!
