A question for you (and for anyone else who makes houses for TS2 from floorplans):

When you convert floorplans to TS2 houses, what dimensions do you estimate each grid square to cover? 1 foot x 1 foot? more? Or do you just "play" with it 'til you find what looks & works right?

Thanks in advance!

Dadditude:: Basically, I work it out from the placement of the windows. If it is a larger window that looks like two squares, I leave two squares for it and then estimate the amount of wall that's supposed to be on either side. It's a little trickier when there is an attached garage, because the Sims garage is usually larger than what would normally be left for a 'real' house. If you place the garage first, then work around that, you'll end up with much larger rooms than if you continue to use the 'window-estimation' method. When I do it, I try to work around the garage as much as possible, but then I also estimate using my 'windows' method. Usually, you'll end up with a slightly different floorplan to the original, but one that works just as well for TS2. Hope that helps you!

Punksk8r239:: I'm glad you like the house. Sorry it took a while, but at least you have it now!

Thanks! That's about what I had figured, but it's nice to hear a full explanation of someone else's approach to it.
