Building can be a bit scary at first. It takes some time to learn how to get the best of the game’s building tools so don’t get discouraged if your houses look like giant boxes or the roof is not quite how you were hoping for. Practice makes perfection!
I have found that when it comes to building- the best thing to do is to take the homes that the game has already created and just upgrade it such as changing the wall color, flooring, furniture and etc. Its more simpler and easier that way.

Yes, thats how i learned. And also you can also download lots from other members of the community in the Gallery !
Thanks for the response. I am starting a new playthrough and am currently adding the crucial mods people recommend. Mine are about recommendations for a long game that isn't easily broken. By broken I mean things like the Moodlet Manager or the Motive Mobil. Those seem to break the game (being kinda overpowered), and I was wondering if there are other rewards or purchases to avoid. There are thousands of things you can buy, and I don't wanna accidentally get something that gives you eternal life, makes 10,000s of money easy, etc.
Basically I am trying to balance a game in which I will either have the lifespan be Long or double. One restriction I might have is not befriending someone for the sole purpose of getting their stuff/money/house, etc. I did that last time, convinced rich Sims to move in, then took their cars, sold them, kicked them out. BUT, that leaves me with the question of how to get a house someone is already moved into. Or, is there another way to get the Alien's galaxa ship besides Move In? Maybe I can possess them somehow using some power or potion, and get it that way.
So if anyone wants to throw tips at me go ahead lol

I am almost done figuring out the mods I'd like. I am going for a legacy-like game, will probably have the lifespan either be Long or Long duration doubled (if I did Epic it would take too long to see anyone have kids). I was wondering if anyone tried this before:
- Since having all expansions and a lot of store content over the years, it's almost overwhelming with the amount of stuff thrown at you. Mascot shows up, time portal appears, the full moon is rising and whatnot. - I am wondering if this would be an interesting playthrough: 1. Only have the base game installed, along with any store content or updates that came out before the next expansion. 2. For each in-game year that goes by, I install the next expansion, as well as any updates/content before the second expansion 3. This repeats until all expansions have been loaded. I believe that would require 10-11 in-game Long duration Sim years. - I assume this would somewhat make the game a wee bit harder since you are reduced to way less options, not having access to some pretty op lifetime rewards, alchemy, or build/buy stuff.

I really recommend trying the sims 3 and 2! I know the sims 4 is the most popular right now, but the old games are great and have much more content to discover in my opinion
