      Never ever, but I use premade outfits.

      I can see that. Keep in mind anything saved in your 'library' can still be accessed when in offline mode. ;)

      Sometimes when I’m stuck for which style I want a house. Often I see a colour and go with that as the main inspiration.

      Not that often, but its a feature I use and a feature I really appreciate about Sims 4 that I wish Sim 3 had. There's a couple of template rooms, like a bathroom and kitchen I put in a lot of builds and then modify. I very rarely download rooms from the Gallery, but then I rarely download builds from the Gallery.

      For me, there is more work involved in using the premade rooms.

      I'm in the Rarely camp. I don't use them that often but I am glad they are there. I have used a lot of pre-built whole lots though such as community spaces and houses like Duplantier Dwelling. Sometimes I just want to make my sims and move them right in without a lot of redecoration.

      When I use the pre-built rooms, it is usually while building. I'll build most things on my own but I might add specific pre-built rooms that fit with my overall style. Kitchens and bathrooms are more frequent because they're pretty similar. I don't feel like my ultimate creative sense of expression is in designing every single bathroom, hehe. I've added a few other rooms with other themes such as a ready-to-go playroom. Sometimes I want to add everything myself and sometimes I just want to check off a box for a specific room. In the second case, I'll look at and sometimes use the pre-built rooms.

      I appreciate having the feature. As mentioned, a lot of my community spaces are from Maxis community lots that were added like Hogan's Burger Bar, Club Slate and a couple of spas. I've also downloaded from the community and built my own. I like that everything from Maxis is playtested.

      Only when I'm exploring a pack for the first time. I like to see how the new items work with each other (and the base game) :smile:

      When I’m testing out a new pack or improving a room for a sim I don’t care a lot about sometimes the only way to find something is to find it in a premade room

      Once, when I needed to figure out a way to put an idea together, I grabbed two of the premade rooms and threw them into a build, then modified around it until the idea I had worked itself out.

      I don't use Discord because it doesn't support multiple accounts and I don't need folks at work wondering what I'm doing even on my own time. Until Discord catches up with every single other voice / video conferencing system, I limit where I use it:

      They're handy when I want to expand my sim's house, but I don't feel like interior decorating. One time I used this premade bathroom and it looked decent

      I used a few in the very early going, but I changed so much about them that... well, I realized I didn't need them at all. I haven't used any since then.

      When I'm building, sometimes I'll use one to determine room size. I'll place a room with the amount of furnishings I'll want later, strip the room to nothing, then use that box to determine the sizes of other rooms. I used to have a problem making rooms that were way too big, so I do it this way when I start over-building and want training wheels again.

      Only when I'm tired & have a creative block. However, even they eventually get my creative upgrades.

      Sometimes, but I usually add my own flair to them, especially if they are Maxis.

      Only to have direct access to most of the objects I need. For example, if I want a scary witch kitchen, I put down a premade one from Realm of Magic or Vampires with all the necessary objects and decorations in somewhat matching colours, then I move them over to the room that is supposed to be the kitchen, make my own little adjustments here and there and call it a day.

      I rarely do that anymore since I discovered that BB objects can be filtered by packs and styles, but it was really helpful back when I was new to TS4's Build Mode. Nowadays, I still look at premade rooms occasionally when I'm too lazy to pick out the decorations myself, or when a new pack is out and I'm not sure how to place an object to be fully functional (like the fabricator from Eco Lifestyle, where I used to think the back was the front).

      I almost never used them, some of them do look nice but most of the time I forget that they exist when I build a house.

      I sometimes do build challenges, like trying to build a house using just premader rooms. So I use them then..

      I never use them just as I don’t use builds or rooms from gallery. They are usually not in my style and sometimes feel too generic IMO.

      I voted never, but then I remembered that room from Spa Day that's just a sauna and some wall lights. Pretty convenient, that one.

      I like them. And how to make a starting room at build mode
      So, at my games always there are houses than include premade rooms with some edits

      Pretty frequently... when I actually bother to build. I'm a completely hopeless builder so for empty lots I tend to download houses from the Gallery and if I need to expand/edit an existing house I often check out the pre-made rooms. Might switch items etc but the rooms work great as templates.

      One vote for "All the time". Go @Annie2008 B)

      I made this poll because someone previously asked this question. I was interested on what it would look like on a poll. And hey! all votes are good here. Excellent comments too. The variety and diversity of us players is quite awesome. B)

      I do use them but mostly just for a guide of what looks good together.
