Three Abodes for Pudding Habitation (Update-09/04/09 Base Game Furnished)
witch:
Well I certainly wouldn't class these lots as failures. I like them and have yoinked them. I tend to build enormous houses and really enjoy the compact family homes that others manage to make. After all, it's easy enough to replace a few beds and bathroom fixtures. ::)

Pescado, do you have a list anywhere of the equipment you consider substandard or broken? or alternately do you have a guideline in terms of environment score and comfort?
Yes: The following items are Kewian-based substitutes and display gross insuperiority in performance:
Cheap Shower
Low End Stoves
Cheap Fridge
Any beds except the best (HUGE different in energy rates, which is the slowest motive by far).
Bathtubs Unsupported By Showers (it's fine to have a tub, but only if it is either a combination shower-tub or a secondary fixture combined with a real shower).
Acceptable places to cut corners:
Computars (cheap computers are lousy at fun, but totally serviceable for Srs Business)
Seating (lower comfy buff, but this only applies when you are actually USING it)
Bookshelves (no real benefit for bookshelves on home lots as you are penalized for non-library use)
Terlets (cheaper terlets break a lot, but you have to earn your plumbing repair somewhere)
Sinks (same story, plus sinks are rarely used)
Decoratives (these have no functional worth, so selection of them at all is purely aesthetic anyway)
Structural (Structural components are largely superfluous to the actual functioning of a sim house, and walls mostly are aesthetic in nature)
Any house utilizing any of the unacceptable Kewian-based substitutes is automatically classified as a "display-grade" home not intended to be played, and should be labelled accordingly.
Such things may be acceptable on other sites, but this is MATY! Accept no Kewian-based substitutes!
saraswati:
:) Pescado I know you hate being thanked, so all I'll say is that is an extremely useful list of things to take into account. Minus the question of how environment score works in Sims 3 (I'm unsure whether that's changed from Sims 2) that could almost be considered a bible of how to build for the game.
Fat D:
There is no environment score, it has been replaced by moodlet-based mood buffs for "well-decorated" rooms and debuffs for unfinished rooms lacking floor and wall coverings.
CheritaChen:
I like all three of these for the purpose of non-playables. Your 60s ranch home should replace the game's Bunch house--it's been forever since I've seen an episode of that (thank goodness), but it was my immediate reaction when the house scrolled into view.
