Thanks Leto! It looks cool, could save time if you don't feel like decorating but don't like most townie houses, which I don't.

That video is awesome! I can't wait for Seasons!

So... I assume you won't find any creative building challenge in this?
Actually, I was half joking. There might be a little challenge in it if you try to do something like Turoskel above here already did: try to make a house with it, but than without changing anything in the rooms.

After seeing it for myself I've decided I don't like it much, lol. Although it could just be that I'm no used to it yet. it's a good idea just don't like the designs options so far. If you mean for a contest then that would be interesting, I hadn't thought about a contest to do with the blueprints system.

I'm not a big fan of the blueprints.
I did use the foyer and the gothic library and salon for my founders new house. Of course I expanded the rooms and re-arranged the furniture. It took a couple of hours and at the end, I was thinking I could have built the whole house and furnished it for the time I spent redoing everything.

You know more about that than I do so I let the creative part for you than. I just will share ideas if I gave them.

I like the feature, but need a floorplan. My house looks awful from the outside.

[Jase~]

Overall, I really like the feature...
I just wish that we would have more choices (hopefully, we'll get more with additional patches/EPs/SPs), but I'm disappointed that we won't get the option to be able to create/save/share our own blueprint designs. 

It's a fun feature when I want to start a new game and just not in the mood to build a house completely from scratch, I like most of the coastal and contemporary styled blueprint rooms.

Hugz,

I'm not sure if these came with seasons or not (I only update my game when I get an EP) but does anybody use them?

[lily87]

I tried to use them when they first came out, and I thought they were really good.  I need a bit of practice to get the doors lined up, but otherwise, it's good.  I don't use them much anymore, because I prefer building my own houses, but it's a matter of personal taste

There's all ready thread on Blueprints here if you want to read through it.

Thanks, grimsoul.  I'm merging this topic with the other one.

I find the blueprints useful, and some quite nice. The only problem is the door placements. It is really annoying when the doors stop you from placing a room. Does testingCheatsenabled true fix this?

I prefer the Gothic rooms (in the game not in real life.)

I quite like this - just used it for the first time to create a quick house from scratch. I used the log cabin rooms (I think they might have been added with seasons) plus a hallway and two ordinary bedrooms. I'm quite happy with how it looks overall.
