Preferrable Houses
witch:
Ditto re looking round my own n'hood for inspiration. :) I also read the real estate flyers, sometimes there are houseplans, or get real house plans off the net. Haven't found a decent castle one yet for the vamp family I will have.

And you can't attach a garage to a house with a foundation, unless there's some boolprop cheat I'm missing.
Actually there is a boolprop you can use. I found a tutorial attaching a garage to a house with a foundation that is very well written and photographed and easy to follow by SimSherry2. She also includes how to build an arched carport as well. And you can download the house she used for the tutorial (it has 3 or 4 wall recolors and the green glass tile she uses for the carport), if you wish. I found I didn't need it though because the tutorial was so well designed.

I found this a really interesting discussion; I didn't think I was a very good builder, until I downloaded houses. It's mainly because I have dowloaded houses that I thought looked good, and they are hardly ever playable. The rooms are too stupid, or there are missing doors, or other odd things.
I tend to put families I play a lot into houses I have built because I have a good idea of what design features work for playability. I like lots of bathrooms, too. I also spent some time learning how to make a basement because basements are fabulous for those unsightly reward objects that you don't want all over the deck and the lawn.
Myth:
I must say I am shocked by the poll results. I've always assumed that most preferred unfurnished houses but in fact 35% want furnished and 40% do not care as long as the house is well designed.
I really appreciate everyone's input on this. It confirmed some things I suspected and taught me things I didn't know.

I found this interesting too, this has also given me a new direction, I didn't realise so many people had trouble with the big lots. I'm going to create a sims2 folder with just the Maxis defaults and try my hand at starter homes. That fits more the way I play anyway.
