What types of lots have you always enjoyed building? Personally, I've always enjoyed building beach lots, since I like 5 miles from the coast. Why don't you tell us what you enjoy building, I know everyday enjoys some sort of style.

I like building Ye Olde Elizabethan Houses with Ye Olde Flagstones. On the inside, though, strangely, everything is middle-of-the-road, modern, neutral and contemporary.

btw - love Pine Cove!

I like building cottages and land houses as well as contemporary styled houses.
And I did some themed lots with custom content I created extra for them. That was much fun.
And for apartments I like the old European or modern style.

I usually like building any kind of lot, that you know is possible in the sims 2. Rofl. And F-P, don't you mean you like building homes by the shore. XD

I like castles therefore I love Victorians because they remind me of little castles. I don't know if anyone notices, but I tend to make a lot of Victorians.

Love will humiliate you and hate will cradle you.
Jealousy would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely unrelated to our merits.

^ Yeah, i noticed, and they are awesome too! :D

I like building modern...ish homes. Really i don't think my style comes close to anything else but modern. But my favorite style that i can't build all too well is victorian, they look so grand and pretty!

I like building apartments as in Holland we have a lot of them and I see them everyday. A lot of the apartments are old mansions, so I like a shabby chic style.

I don't know if I like to build in any particular style. Most of my lots seem to be more contempo, despite the style. Usually I'll see something and get interested and try to recreate that look. One thing I know is what I can't make. Cute little victorians which I love, and big castle type lots just don't look right to me if I try them.

I love this one the most

Lately, I have enjoyed building apartments as well as starter homes on the smallest lots that can sometimes include quite a lot of landscaping. Particularly with the added challenge of building something affordable for the senior Sims. I have always wanted to build some beach lots, but have never really been able to get them to look right. It'll be a fun project to try and get right for the future.

I love apartment lots, I really never play them but I just like the whole atmosphere it creates around the game.

I really like creating realistic style homes. Usually I base them on real places or floorplans I find. Like many here I love Victorian style homes. I also really love traditional Japanese architecture, but I find it hard to get it into the game just right. I have made several attempts that I'm happy with, but some of my favorite aspects are a bit harder to have actually work in the game.

Musiquefille's Modest Mods - well, lots really.

I love to build modern homes and mediterranean ones too, I just love the look of them all x] I don't like to build really big homes though, I like them small and functional so they don't cost too much.

That's a great house!

I like to build all types of homes. I tend to stick to the "starter" houses, the little ones. Probably b/c my sister is always asking me to build her a house, since she thinks she can't! But she doesn't like to use any cheats so she has to buy "cheap".

I have not yet tackled the beach building..yet - that's my next project!

I love to get ideas here!

I like old European style houses, too and despite the 'french' style I love victorians and other old English architecture styles like georgian very much, but I find it hard to build good victorians, especially without custom content -btw- I love your 4 starters set Christine, it's so nice

Hello everyone. I'm not a advanced Sims 2 house designer but I think I'm pretty good. I love to build medium sized Residental lots. Usually 2 bedrooms 1.5 baths, and a big kitchen. My fave room has to be the kitchen. I just love decorating it. I may have only one uploaded lot but I am making more. I've just been really busy, reason for delay.

I just like building typical houses that you would see everyday, nothing fancy or anything.

This allows me to see into the minds of people! That's right, I can actually see what they're thinking!
So long as what they're thinking is exactly what I think they're thinking.
