When I played The Sims 1, I never gave my Sim houses roofs, floors, or windows, and I never bothered with paint. I was interested in the gameplay, not so much in building houses.
\r\nIn The Sims 2, I had to start giving my houses floors, otherwise the cheap shower would leak and weeds would grow. Then in The Sims 2: Seasons, I had to start giving them roofs to stop the rain from getting in.
\r\nIn The Sims 3, I have to give them windows to avoid the dark moodlette, and I have to paint the house to avoid the unfinished room moodlette.
\r\nI\'m not complaining, it is fascinating how the gameplay has deepened over the different games.
