Note that you can change rooms by clicking on the walls and stretching/retracting them accordingly rooms will conform to the shapes of other rooms automatically. Your Sims will get annoyed with one another if they can’t wander off to separate rooms every now and then. It’s tempting to save a bit of money on doors and keep every room in the house connected, but this is not a good idea.

The more Sims you have in one household, the more rooms you should build. Your Sims will want a variety of different rooms, typically with each room dedicated to a different task or activity.

If you go around smashing walls with the Sledgehammer, the game may stop considering your rooms to be anything more than a collection of walls. You can delete walls you don’t want by using the Sledgehammer tool, located on the toolbar at the top of the screen. Building walls cost a lot of money, so don’t make your house too big. Drag the arrows that appear on the ends of your walls to expand or contract them as you see fit.

Using this tool you can set down walls and form your own rooms or create rooms in preset shapes. You can create walls, or even empty rooms, via the Walls and Empty Rooms button, to the right of the picture of the house. Regardless of whether you use Styled Rooms or create your own, your house needs multiple things to actually be a house.
