Ability to Severely Re-Work houses

As the title says, I want to be able to really re-work. We can work on the rooms inside and knock walls, but we can’t change the footprint. I disagree with this. It shouldn’t be easy, probably needing us to buy a building permit to add extensions or knock down existing homes. But it makes it more practical to spend time working on places like the first office to make it something actually worth buying, and not an overgrown shack that needs to be condemned, quite frankly.

It could be a good idea but you have to think about how extra difficulty will sit with the players. Most people, myself included, want to sit back and chill out while playing this game. Too many real world problems may spoil it.

I actually quite like the tiny houses that make you think about how to use every square metre. It would be nice to have more house shapes other than US-style bungalows - you don't get any with 2 floors, for example, until you get to the big houses.

Yeah I like these too but many put me off because they all seem to have enormous gardens compared to the house. I'd like to see a range of small houses with tiny gardens or some with maybe a front/back garden only or no garden at all like a terraced back to back.

i think it would be really neat if we could build additions to houses. like build outside walls and have the game add the roof on to the addition automatically. Of course for the extra cost of the outside walls to include the roof if your building walls where there isn't already presently a roof. Then we could finish the wall inside and outside as we see fit.. It also would be cool to change doors to windows and vice versa or just fill in the door/window holes.

i strongly agree with this id love more freedom in reworking houses and floorplans more... also we really need more different house styles. im going through all the houses one by one on the browser alot of the houses are generally the same design just different floorplans.
