I used to at most do a basic floor plan in ms paint on a 64x64 grid I had saved lol but the more I play around with constrainfloorelevation and the endless design options it opens up, the more I find I need to plan, and the harder it is to get my head around what I should do first, because it becomes so much harder to add and change things later on.
I just completely scrapped a lot I’d been trying to figure out for ages because I realised I’d screwed something up it would take starting almost from scratch to fix, I do want to start again, and to avoid this happening again I’ve tried laying it out in sketches and diagrams but with having both the terrain and the levels of the build shifted and sometimes overlapping (or, in the case of basement and terrain - not allowed to overlap, which is mostly what’s messing me up lol), it gets so confusing and my brain just fries 😂
Probably just going to have to jump in and try to figure it out in practice.

I don’t think I’ve ever drawn out a plan. Normally what I do is think of a theme I want for a room and try to decorate and size things accordingly. It does lead to a rather chaotic house and bland exteriors though.
Maybe I should try something like this to spice up the outside.
I used to be a lot more spontaneous about it, but yeah, since doing more complicated builds it’s been harder to just dive in because there are so many easy ways to royally fuck up lol
