    I am not the worst nor the best builder. I want to get tips to dramatically improve my builds. How do you think I should go about this? Should I just stick to my own building style (while improving) or adapt to the mainstream designs? (Modern, traditional, craftsman, etc) And when I go about this what should I do? Slowly improve? Try new and different ways of doing things? Try different color schemes and blocks? I have so many questions!

    TL;DR: How should I improve my builds? Use certain "styles" or develop my own? Try new things or improve what I am working on?]

    Sorry for all of the questions. I just really want to impress people when they look at my builds!

    finding a style that you can do with ease without struggle is good, especially if you're planning to make a prebuilt town, making plots with ease will allow you to make more than one house in different version without having to keep looking back at images, regarding the houses themselves I'd say spacious and detailed exterior will tempt people to own the houses, add a few stairs near windows to create windowsills, little hangoffs, hanging over rooves
    try experimenting with things you like, and you may find a style that suits you

    well, I used to suck. Then I started watching the occasional building tutorial and they all say the same things pretty much
    1. Make buildings shaped, not just a box. Add some depth, ya know?
    2. Build a lot, practice makes you better.
    3. try challenges of things to build that are out of your "comfort zone" a fun thing to do is ask for a noun, verb, and adjective, then build that. A Fast House Smoking? A Hot Robot running? things like this (plus build battles on minigames server of your choice) helps you build not only better houses, but better and faster overall. (build battles on meep would be cool... hmmm)

    Pick a build style you will enjoy, that's the best way to improve greatly.

    get get get get
    got got got got
    hot bot rock top
    bent knot kill thot
    poppin' off the heckin' block cop
    clockin' wrist slit watch bent hot bot
    *drop*
    catch me baby if I care
    about anything, anywhere
    and hot bot smoke bomb fill the air
    then drop cops get got broken flare
    find the doorknob, burn the door
    drop the gas, smash to the floor
    nobody does this anymore...
    blazin' cannons it's time for war
    *drums get all glitchy*
    said it's time for war
    *drop intensifies at a higher octave*
    hot bot cash flow play it loose,
    bite tight slip knot cut the noose,
    war drums, silent, clever ruse
    eardrums bursting all fake news
    ....
    said all fake news
    *short glitchy dark noise*
    sit in the dark, wonder why
    humans made were fit to cry
    never live and never die
    3rd degree, gon' touch the sky
    miss me with it, if it's true
    won't care won't love won't listen too
    ...
    if it's true

    Coz no-one loves and we all hate
    sitting outside hell's dark gate
    sit in the dark and ponder fate
    fearful, worried, came too late
    ...
    came too late
    *drop*
    catch me baby if I care
    about anything, anywhere
    and hot bot smoke bomb fill the air
    then drop cops get got broken flare
    find the doorknob, burn the door
    drop the gas, smash to the floor
    nobody does this anymore...
    blazin' cannons it's time for war
    *drums get all glitchy*
    said it's time for war
    *drop intensifies at a higher octave*
    hot bot cash flow play it loose,
    bite tight slip knot cut the noose,
    war drums, silent, clever ruse
    eardrums bursting all fake news
    *song gets slower*
    offended liars, full of pain
    outside wet cold endless rain
    but I feel hated, gone insane
    love life hate bliss lust gold lame
    life will never be the same
    broken heart and jaw is shattered
    life's the pitcher, now I'm battered
    ...
    now I'm battered
    *one last really blazing fast verse*
    empty bottle, broken spine
    look you in the eyes I'm fine
    burning cities, altered time
    running, calling, last lifeline
    the only thing I'll ever want
    the only one I'll ever need
    hungry, starving, rib-cut gaunt
    mortal earth, it's all we got
    the only thing that ever saved
    was the thing we threw away
    so now I sit and stare and cry
    and starve in silence till we die
