Summary: Tons of great features, but designing is a little tough
Review: As a user that is well versed in AutoCAD and an older home design program, I thought that this was a little trickier to draw floorplans. The zoomign and screen size isn't what I hoped. Still to it's credit, it does have a ton of color, texture and material options when you start to decorate.

Summary: The best of home architect programs!
Review: Be patient starting out & get your measurements correct. Take your time learning the basics but once you do, it's lots of fun! You can walk thru to see how your new room would feel & if you don't like it, flip things around with a few mouse clicks. Change your wall colors, floor tiles, fabrics, re-size & re-upholster furniture.I used an older one to design our bed & beth addition but lost my cd & tried other programs but was very disappointed. Once you have your basic plan done (be sure & save a copy of it), it's always there for re-decorating or re-modeling! Women may like this better than men, although I think people would expect men to like it better.

Review: I tried to load it on a new updated pc and could not get it to launch. It claims it is xp compatible but I would not use this product if you have xp.

Review: I used to think this software was great...then I updated my OS to Windows XP, and now it crashes constantly. Oh well, I guess that's to be expected. But what I didn't expect was the complete lack of support. Sierra's site doesn't have any mention of Complete Home, or of Home Architect Version 3 or higher. It looks like they abandoned their site five years ago. There are still support files that talk about Windows 3.1, and no mention of W95, W98, NT, ME or XP. So, I can't recommend this product at all. As far as I'm concerned they abandoned me and I'll have to buy another product from a different company... a company that is not named Sierra.

Summary: constantly crashes on windows XP
Review: Like another reviewer, I also liked this product, especially its ease of use, and the speed with which you could change your floorplan. But when I got an XP it crashed all the time. To add to the frustration, there is no support from their website for this product. I couldn't even find the product on the site. So I can only recommend it if you have an, apparently older computer. It worked fine using windows 98, but got slower and slower as my plans got more complicated. When I went to windows XP which I though would help, it became useless.
