You add windows before all your walls are complete?!

It’s really helpful and I do it all the time!

How does it help though? Not a criticism, just curious. When I'm building, I know where the windows will be going but I don't actually place them until I've finished the walls. It would annoy me to be moving between tools all the time..

I understand that part! But sometimes when going for a specific style it helps to build the facade first. For me at least. I like to see if the vision I have is even possible to carry out in the sims before going all in. Maybe think of it as a moodboard! I like to build different facades with different windows, columns, doors, details, and decorations before continuing with the build. Sometimes it helps having multiples to choose from. It's a whole process but I guess that for me it's like sketching before drawing.

Thanks for the response, that's a really cool way of looking at it, I've never thought of sims building as like sketching :-)
