Since everyone is talking about HMB right now, I'm gonna throw my two cents in. It's just my opinion, obviously a lot of people admire and want her builds, and if you think all the bullshit surrounding it is worth it, then do you. But here it is:
HerMajestyBuilds is complete garbage. I'm not even talking about what a dumpster fire of a person she is, or how she treats her patrons like she's the fucking KGB. I'm talking about the "work" she scams people out of their money for. I will never understand the appeal of these houses. I got ahold of a couple once and promptly deleted them because they were very much NOT what they had appeared to be. Everything that looks good about them is because of two things:
1. The CC of
other creators, some of which she includes without their knowledge or permission (including other Patreon creators - fucking hypocrite), and other stuff she makes you hunt down (and pay for) yourself. Just to get the thing to look the way it should.
2. Photoshop. Heavily edited and filtered pictures of staged areas within the build that look very different in game.
Everything about those houses that is actually done by HMB is mediocre at best. The architecture is pretty basic, sometimes nonsensical or even unplayable. Half the rooms are bare, only the staged areas are furnished. She appears to use heavy-duty Reshade presets that are not meant for live mode, only for photos, so it will literally never look the way it did in the photo.
HMB is a con artist. If you don't like to build or decorate yourself, or don't want to spend the time and only want prebuilt lots, there are SO MANY better house builders out there!

As I said, this is just my strong opinion. But I say it with the intention of pointing out there are better things out there. Fully furnished. Smartly and properly built and playable. For free. No one should have to put up with toxic creators and live in paranoia that they'll put trackers or malware in their files, let alone reward their behavior with your real life money. The entire situation is insanity. And she will keep doing it as long as there are people who enable and support her.
