Does anyone else feel build mode is awkward to use

[texas toast]

It feels like it's not the easiest to use- I also dont love that there are no unfurnished presets

It definitely needs some polish. I ended up deleting everything in an existing preset in order to build from scratch. Overall I like the customization and the precision you are able to achieve with the build tools. I do see a lot of room for improvement however.

As far as it's "Ease of use" I may not be the best judge. A lot of the extra steps and menus are like second nature to me as I'm an Architectural Engineer and work in CAD like 90% of my workday. So to me this is like a really basic version of CAD or Revit with like 99% of their features missing. I look at it as more of an advanced build mode. I personally would love to see some more advanced features implemented into the build mode but I get that most people prefer an easier interface to use. I think in time they will add more QOL features to build mode

This is however, just a demo. There's a lot of content missing from the demo that I will assume be in the full game. If you look at the various build/buy menus you can see some of the missing features. The exterior menu only has fences right now but you can see some grayed out options like walkways etc. We also cant place any terrain in the demo but it obviously can be done considering the presets.

I guess we have to wait an see what the full game holds in a couple of days. Hopefully they have worked out some of the bugs in the demo and there will be a lot more options in the build mode.

did you see how to rescale ? or what size is optimal for textures

I'm not going to assume that anything more will be added upon EA release - just to avoid disappointment. It will definitely be added in during the early access period, and hopefully - as Travis says - we will get some tweaks and refinements to improve the building experience based on player feedback.

I have also build problems, there are bugs with plazing walls. They wil on the second floore not connecting.

For me it was a bit more difficult compared to Sims 4, anyway, I hope that with our feedback they can polish it more and make it better.

yess! thank you- im hoping they will listen to us too. thanks guys for pitching in on your experiences

It took me a long time to understand it, but now I realize it's quite easy to use. It takes a while to learn.
