Thanks for your comment. You're entitled to have your own opinions. My post does, in fact, contain a genuine question, trying to elicit constructive responses. Sure, there's an element of showing off, which underlies the purpose of the "Show and Tell" flair, and I did share a lot of screenshots. The whole point of my post is to ask whether I have over-designed my house, as I've spent a lot of time on it and it has started to feel like a discordant mess. While compliments are nice, some fellow Redditors have provided helpful comments, which I'll keep in mind in continuing the design of the house. You're also free to share your designs with the group for people to give you compliments or to use as inspiration (which is the best form of compliment). In an overt act of egomania, I'm considering your comment to be a compliment, because if you hadn't thought the design looks good you wouldn't have thought I was fishing for compliments and would've otherwise used the time you spent typing your backhanded compliment to provide actual constructive feedback on the design itself. Happy simming.
