Building Tools and 'stuff' we would like to see?

[Pam]

i want to be able to make dome shaped houses.
they have a bunch in my city and they are really interesting looking and i would love to build one.

also, they should make it easier to build apartments without having to use the buydebug options.
i dont like having to place all the markers in each room for my apartments.

being able to build modular stairs should be brought back into the game.

i would also love to see:
- being able to make greenhouses
- being able to make sunroofs
- terraces [for my gardens and porches]

i cant think of anything else right now, but i will most definately come back when i think of something

Various sorts of glass roofs. You can build a sort of sun roof with the low fences for gardening, but it just doesn't look right nor is it very flexible in it's design. Even though it's the opposite of my tastes in real life, I'm more included to 'traditional' homes and community lots in the Sims 3, because my modern buildings can't have the roofs that so attract me to the modern school of architecture in reality.

Also, I'm rather disappointed that the LN apartment mailboxes aren't in buydebug.

I would really like to be able to prop open windows and doors.  I like french doors leading to gardens and the screencaps never really look right without the doors being posed open.  It would be nice to have an "open window/door" interaction with each object.

Ooh, I do agree with that "plant size slider tool" suggestion. More of what I'm hoping for as a builder includes diagonal, fully functional counters; stages for split level housing; a stage height slider tool; and circular walls.

All the above and ROOFS!  NIGHTMARE!  I hate the fact that roofs don't fit properly over bays!  So how about a way to make a bay roof fit properly and not hang off the ends.  If you can make octagonal roofs why not just the bits that fit over bay windows?

I actually think that could definitely be approached in game with something like an overhang slider.

in The Sims 2 Apartment Life, they made it so you only put it one cheat code to change it from a house to an apartment. And then all you had to do was place one apartment door to each apartment and whatever was closed into that house/apartment was considered one! Why dont they just do that again?

I would love to see Circular walls for domed houses, easier way to make L and U shaped stairs, and greenhouses.

Also, sliders for stages would be awesome!! Ground to ceiling windows!

I would like to see plants to not go through the walls. I hate when I place shrubs and flowers around the house and then when I look inside there's part of the plant sticking through the wall. Sometimes you can rotate the plant to a different angle to fix it but not always. So I end up putting a chair or something there to hide it.
