I've about had it with Build mode. I moved my heir (hello enforced Legacy play) to that horrible lot with all the trash in the front yard and the broken fence bits, because I figured that with nearly $300k, I could make a great remodel. Everything went perfectly until I tried to place windows and doors.
Placing windows on the first floor in TS3 feels like placing windows on the 12th floor in TS2. The camera jerks and it takes forever to get it to snap in place. Then, if you happen to cross the path of a placed window with another window or a door, the wall fills in the glass and you have to snap the damned thing again.
This:
Has taken me a good hour and a half, and it's just a facade.
Believe me I can feel you.....Camera sucks in sims 3....I enjoyed very much building in TS1 and TS2 but in TS3 I dont want to build anymore...:/
