Aweful! I'd rather use my SIMs game to design my home
The program is terrible. Graphics are aweful. This is not at all user-friendly. Walkthroughs are difficult. And I can't for the life of me figure out how to rotate to delete the staircase I put in. Do not waste your money or time on this product

Problems from the start
Designing my own house has always been a dream so I jumped in with this program. I purchased this product 06/03/05. What a mistake! Disc 1 & 2 installed okay but hung on disc 3. Nothing in the manual about installation problems, I went to their web site and found a comment about a conflict with McAfee. I disabled my virus software and the program installed successfully. I did have to manually delete all the files that had installed with disc 1 & 2; since the program had never fully installed, there wasn't an option to uninstall. <
> Everything started off fine except I made the mistake of not saving. I changed tabs from Walk Through to Space and the program shut itself down. I started again, saving frequently. When I went to Walk Though, I continually got error messages that I was missing exterior walls. I checked and rechecked. Everything was where is should be but continued to get the messages. However, when I did the walkthrough, there was a wall missing though on the plan it showed "solid." Where I had railings, the walkthrough showed solid walls though the design tab showed railings. Something as simple as placing a clock became a major endeavor, I would place in mid-wall and it would auto-move it to a corner. As the plan got more complex, the system lagged until it almost came to a stop. I shut down virtually every program my system didn't need thinking there was maybe a conflict and it still wouldn't open. I have 384MG, a 40G hard driver and 1Gmz processor speed so I more than met the system requirements. <
> When I went back to update my plan, I open the program and when I clicked on Open a Saved Plan and clicked my plan, the screen hung, went white then went "unresponsive." I repeatedly tried to get into my plan to no avail. I then thought to be sneaky and go in through Create a New Plan which opened fine. I then tried to access my plan through this screen and again the program went white and died. <
> I went to Individual Software's web site and this version, 7.0, isn't even listed. I looked in v4 and v6 which are not suite programs but there was little or nothing of any use. <
> I sent an email outlining my difficulties including 2 phone numbers and 2 email addresses where I could be contacted. I didn't receive so much as a canned email response stating my problems were being addressed. I then contacted their tech support via their 800 line. After suffering through the voice system, the only technical support offered was use the automated system or leave a message for a tech support person. Speaking to a live person wasn't even an option! I did leave a message and have still not been contacted in any way. I then tried the automated system and the only two options offered were how to set your color and how to uninstall and reinstall the program. I also tried customer service rather than tech support and the most they could suggest was calling tech support and holding for the next technician. It took 2 or 3 tries to make them realize there was no technichain, only voice mail. <
>I found the plans simplistic and almost childish, the basic furnishings very limited and the actual program to be a total disaster. The only saving grace about this program is that the retailer, Staple's, is willing to take it back with a full refund. This program doesn't even deserve ONE star. <
