Lemmy, have you used free software to design your dream home?
Lemmy, have you used free software to design your dream home?
This is just for messing around to see in digital form the house that I dream of in my head. Is there a truly free one that does a decent job?
I've played with it in Sims 3 but I was wondering if there was something more realistic out there. Bonus if it's something where I could generate a noob file that a pro architect could use to base a real design on.

You could try sweethome3d (open source). Although I haven't tried to design a whole house, I've used it for designing my deck layout. Take a look at the gallery to see if it fits your need - Sweet Home 3D gallery You can try it online through browser or download the installer ( Windows/Linux/MacOS)
I‘ve designed the interior of our house with SweetHome3D about 10 years ago - so yes, it should definitely be possible, but at that time it had a bit of a learning curve. Still not as bad as using a full fledged CAD package for that job…
Thanks, will check it out. Is your deck done?
Yes, built it 2yrs ago. I can share the design and pic of the final product if you like.
I don't think we will have a deck but I would definitely love to see pics.
Few pics of the deck and couple of exported images of the design.
That is gorgeous. Congrats on such a beautiful design and solid execution of it. Originally I had thought we would just have a stone back patio but your pics are making me reconsider a deck.
