Reply To: Where do you draw the line on detailing?

I’d say it depends on the kind of deadline that exists for the project.

If there isn’t any then I see no reason to stop detailing.

If you want it finished by a specific date … then you’ve got a hard limit on how  detailed you can go because you’d want to keep everything at the same level of detail. So either every house gets a full set of cups and plates … or none of them get it.

So the best way to stop yourself from adding ‘too much detail’ is to give yourself a deadline that is impossible if you go too far with your detailing …

(although there’s nothing stopping you from doing it for a deadline after the first one … )
