I honestly don’t understand why the lots are so big, but there is only one house. In my opinion EA should have added 2 or 3 houses on one lot to spice things up. It would also just make more sense

[@lalala77710]

OMG DUNCAN HI

[@Egleolenjap]

I guess it depends on where you're from... In some European countries big lots are very normal and crammed spaces look out of place..

[@travel_mist4152]

[@craigmichael6633]

Not at all. TS2 you could have multiple families living on the same lot, completely separate from each other. The roommate feature makes them part of them unable to be controlled, but part of the same household, shared bills... vastly different

What about a build challenge where you have a set amount of time (2-3mins) to "shop" for furniture/lights. Then, you have to build the shell and furnish the house with what you picked out, not being able to go back to purchase other items and needing to use everything you pulled out.

[@gracewheeler3347]

I love this

[@emilyfogerty6438]

I would love to see more corkboard options and have the ability to put other things on them like photos and kids' drawings. It would also be pretty cool if we could have something like the kids room string light photos but we can put our own photos on it instead.

[@Linette9039]

I have a pet peeve of doors not being placed the way they would naturally open (even though I play with all walls down). So for example in the kids room she made, I would have to flip that door so i would open toward the wall not toward the bed. I don't know if that makes sense or if anyone else does that, but I always loved everything about Kayla's builds except reckless door opening direction.

[@nicolelavigne1700]

If you’re doing EA restrictions then, and this is kind of cruel, you should only be using items from base game and whatever pack that world is from. Everything is always made so you don’t need other packs for it to work so you should not be using items from other packs in order to replicate the challenge EA faces.

[@belventura3852]

Actually the EA rule is not about how many objects there are but how many DIFFERENT objects. For example, you could have 30 plants but they should all be the same plant (that way slower computers only need to generate one item and multiply it)! I learned that on a video by the girl that did the ecolifestyle crane build for EA

[@ogrejd]

I don't get why people think there's some strange restrictions on EA builds for the sake of performance or whatever. One look at occupied houses and most larger empty houses show that that's unlikely. "Starter" homes are obviously decorated to give you just enough to get going if you buy furnished (something I personally only do when I'm putting in families from the Sim Bin/Library that I don't intend to actually play) and to see which each room is meant for, expecting you to fill in the rest of it yourself as budget allows and make it your Sim's own...
