Lemmy, have you used free software to design your dream home? (lemmings.world)

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.

Thanks so much. I'm not trying to do anything weird, just a small, simple, Craftsman style home.

It will be considerably cheaper to alter an existing blueprint. So take your design to your builder/architect and work with them to alter an existing plan.

Look at plans online, there are sites you can buy plans from, and you will probably find something you don't even need to modify that suits your needs.
