I'm pretty proud of the guides (or should I say reference articles) I used to write for SimsVIP ages ago helping people find inspiration to build in The Sims. I'll leave two links below if you're feeling insecure to build or decorate in the game =)

On that last point, if you had EVEN ONE MOD in the Mods folder, you need to remove it and try again before reporting a game bug. Yes, that means Better Exceptions and MCCC. Yes, it means mods you can't name on the Forums because they're 18+. No, we don't care if it "worked before."
