What a great idea to let other people finish off an unfurnished place. I love building, but often get stuck at the decorating stage, especially on builds that were not designed with a particular sim in mind.
I haven't played for a while, but the release of Pets got me going again and last night I actually stopped playing to build.. probably won't be playing an actual game for a bit because I'm really enjoying the build.
With all the horsey/farm things now just begging to be used, I'm building a farm, but certainly not a farm for those sims just starting out, this will be one they will need to save up for lol
