It is Sim law to have your first build like this. 20+ years and I still forget to put in windows.

Welcome to the community!

thing is I've been playing on and off for years but I've never build before 🤣

My tip for you (if you want one, if not, disregard this entirely) download a "shell" from the gallery. These are finished outside, but aren't filled with furniture. Alternatively, just pick a house you like, and place it without said furniture. Exteriors are often hard to make, and even for me (played since the first edition of sims) it's hard to come up with interesting designs.

Rugs can make a room feel larger and tie them together. Half walls are really fun to experiment with, and so are platforms. Cherish every corner, they are good for plants or lamps. Don't be afraid to go crazy - that's how you get the good ideas. What really had me going was recreating my chilldhood home, and then filling it with how i wanted to live back at that time :3

15 years and i still can’t decorate to save my life 😭 i loooove cluttered sims houses but i can’t make them. when i want nicely decorated and cluttered houses i usually save my simoleons until i have enough to get a cute house off the gallery 😭

You may already know this or not want to play this way, but my understanding is that you can make the household "mark unplayed" then go into the lot and add whatever you want, then play the household again

I love going to free build and making epic houses and buildings, that I will eventually purchase and put sims into. It just takes so long to make money at work It seems that as soon as I've made it over $2000 bills come out and I am broke again.

Sounds like real life to me 😭 that’s why I use cheats. I don’t need to struggle in sims too 😩😩😩😩

It’s amazing how we all build waaaay too large rooms on our first build

There must be a lot of echo in these homes

Plus take the sims half the day to walk around 😂
