Preferrable Houses
gynarchy:
I prefer the houses I download to be mostly unfurnished. I like when the builder adds a couple of objects in each room so I have an idea of the layout, but otherwise I like them empty. I remove any and all CC that comes with a house because I find that I either have it already or I wouldn't want it. If it's something that I would really like to have, I find out where it came from and download it directly from the creator. I rename and organize all of my downloads and with the way CC is named in TS2, I don't have the patience or time to sort through hundreds of files that are all start with 0923fkjhd09whjfsdfjhd0we0w9.
BlueSoup:
Oh yes, I remember some stuff now. I also hate custom terrains, and don't install them anyway. They cause too many problems in my game.
And I like a nicely landscaped yard as well, even if it's on regular Maxis grass.
TreyNutz:
I like them furnished. That way I know where stuff is supposed to go. I also like to see other's people's take on interior decorating, because I'm pretty bad at it. (I did not get that gay gene.) But I don't care if it's furnished cheap. That's actually preferable because my sims are never rich.
I also tend to look for starter homes and prefer 1 or 2 stories. Too many floors and I get sick of going up and down levels. That's probably because I usually play with a full household.
edit: I also don't like a lot of custom content like floors and walls. I get easily confused by too many choices. Simple Maxis items are fine with me. I use the Sim2PackClean installer to get the lot without the custom content anyways, so if it's there, and I like the house, it's not a big deal.
witch:
Playable is my main criteria. A lot must be playable, whether it is beautiful or not, if it's not easy to play I don't bother. The exception of course are the lots I download for scenery only, like Stonehenge.
I don't download custom terrains because of the corrupt nature of terrains.
Mainly I make lots for upload as I don't find many I like for download.
Diala:
I perfer my houses unfurnished. It isn't that I don't like to download custom content with houses (usually, I get some good stuff from it. Anything else, I delete), I just don't trust people when it comes to placing items, especially gardens. I've had major problems with tending to gardens in 90% of the houses that I downloaded. The gardener complains that they can't water them, or a bush can't be trimmed because someone put it in a place where it can't be reached. Usually, I just delete everything and redo the gardens. (A major pet peeve is when someone uses flooring for "dirt" and moves the flowers onto them using moveobjects. Um... you CAN'T SEE under the flowers anyway, so it is moot point, and what is wrong with using the dirt terrain paint?)
Speaking of moveobjects abuse... I also don't trust people's interior decorating either. They either put the object in a place where it cannot be used, or just fill space with decoration crap and make it seemed 'cramped.' I don't mind some decoration crap, but a ton of it is just too much.
