Lemmy, have you used free software to design your dream home?

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.

Kinda as a joke I designed a house for astrophotography in sweethome 3D. You can also export the whole 3D house model into unity and upload it to VRChat to actually walk around inside it

I watched the whole thing and meant to come back here with all my questions, then I realized there was a voiceover that explained everything, like why there were "audience chairs" around the hot tub. XD

That's really cool. We often wish we had a little roof deck for stargazing.
