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

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.

Used to be Sketchup, not sure if that's still around for free. Used for a lot of architectural stuff and somewhat beginner friendly.

Me personally I'd use Blender, but that seemingly requires you to learn how to model donuts with sprinkles first...

Yours is actually the second suggestion for SetchUp. Thanks!

I used to do sketchup a lot but I am trying to learn freecad to replace it, as the former doesnt have a Linux port, and is proprietary software
