Well, as far as i'm concerned in the matter of keeping textures and polygons in the game, i have dismissed entirely. To me, SoM is a way of exploring and making your own ideas and textures.
I wont be using a single map piece from the default set, though i will possibly use a few objects and items, simply because some of them are really nice as is. Getting to know and careful planning of your methods and construction guidelines in SoM is really rewarding.
In regards to the Japanese house set, there werent enough map pieces to fuse together to create a decent looking map. The floor on the underside didnt have a matching piece, and while its easy to build one, the house set also has bad mhm data, meaning i fell through the floor more times than i care to remember!
