Annoying (I feel like ranting this morning...)

What's worse than Maxis houses where the bedrooms are too small for
double beds? Houses where the shrubbery is situated so that gardeners
can't reach it. I've got houses crawling with weeds and overgrown
bushes, where the gardeners stand there shrugging and waving at me. And
I can't tell exactly what the problem is--the shrubs are on level
ground, easy to reach. I'd think so, at any rate. No doubt Maxis did.

Okay, now off for coffee... ;-)

I almost always demolish or rebuild the houses. I was building a kind
of mock up of our own house and said to my wife, I can't make the
kitchen and passages like ours, Sims are so dumb they'll all just
stand waving their hands about due to the narrow widths. So my Sim
version is a kind of Jumbo Ourhouse, with luxury toilets where the
cupboards go )

have you ever noticed sometimes they haven't even been finished
properly? Walls have gone unpainted or are simply missing?

I just rather foolishly tried building a tenement style house, I think
I got carried away with its three stories plus rooftop space, i think
each of the rooms are bigger than most Maxis houses ))
