My favorite part of building is right in the beginning, in which I create the layout of the house and cap it off with a good-looking roof. Creating the overall structure of the home is my favorite part. I may also do some landscaping, such as adding soil and plants around the house. As for furnishing, I tend to be very simplistic because I feel that the furnishing should be customized for the family moving in. So, very often, I would just add in the basic fixtures for the kitchen and the bathroom, so then I can have the whole house ready for moving in.

I usually base the shell off of floorplans found online or real buildings from life. Furnishing is definitely my favorite part, and the part that takes the longest by far. Decorating the lawn/outdoor areas is nice as well. I really like building community lots, and built a town in Sims 2 from scratch complete with a shopping district. It was so satisfying to realize that every building for the town was done and I could finally play in a town (modeled after small towns in my area)
I like to reproduce existing buildings because I'm not creative to build and furnish a house by myself.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionAlso posting on my blog.
When my build actually amounts to something i like and i can bathe in the self appreciation when playing in that build
but yeah as for actual building I really love trying to match it to the world/lot/neighborhood and sims living in the house and stories i wish to tell
I do often really struggle with interior though because of limits of how i built my exterior all nice and didn't consider rooms
and what i struggle most with is building anything big and without having any particular story or theme that kills my spirits very fast

I build with a story in mind, the same way I create my sims. Stories drive everything that I do in this game and since I’m the kinda guy who seeks to accomplish just about everything himself (aka control freak dude) creating my own new worlds for my actors and giving them places to live and to explore gives me great great joy!
The building process could start with a very simple or very complex idea in my head and usually ends with a virtual manifestation of that idea. My sims will take it from there. They will tell me whether the build is good enough for their narrative or if it needs bulldozer treatment.
I truly enjoy doing online research, however, during my outdoor hiking trips I often take pictures of interesting structures or scenes and use them as inspiration for the shell, the landscape and / or interior design of potential builds.
I like playing around with the build tools to find new ways of getting a desired effect but I also think about the function of a building and ensure that there are no routing issues. I have no interest in aesthetically pleasing non-functional MOO lots. In fact I detest those kind of builds with a passion. Form follows function follows form or else I don’t want it anywhere near my game. BEGONE YE CHARMING BARRICADE OF CLUTTER!
What I also love in The Sims 4 is adding lot traits, lot types and lot challenges. They’re like the cherry on top when it comes to a build’s character.
I construct medieval castles and magic cottages, abandoned structures, mysterious Knick Knack shops, haunted mansions, treetop villages and spaceships.
If you’re looking for an ordinary happy family home this is not the right address. 😋
