I have a bunch loaded at sims2.com. They are mostly small houses with
a few ghosts, designed for new families (e.g. under $20K).. Keep in
mind that while some real floor plans translate very well into sim
houses, some are impossible. Most houses need some degree of
adjustment. I find the floor plans inspirattional, however. And, I've
taken to building housing styles (victorian, colonial, etc.) and many
sites are good for helping you understand what is in keeping a
particular style. I also look out the car window a lot. New England
has a rich array of interesting houses and house styles to inspire the
would be architect. sigh, now I want to live in a pink Queen Anne
Victorian.
Also note that sims will now use chairs against a wall behind a table
much better than they used to (in sims1). This makes it feasible to
make much smaller dining areas that in sims1.
