Places that don't exist in the canon in which I'm writing don't cause me problems as everything is just *there* when characters walk in and if they want to move the furniture round, they do.
Places that exist literally but not visually are the same (e.g.McAnally's in the Dresden Files doesn't cause any problems, it's so well described in the books).
Something that exists on the telly can be a minefield. I've watched and screen capped Dresden Files and Sherlock til the cows came home just to get the layouts straight in my head and even then I've taken liberties (I refuse to believe that the teeny-tiny en-suite thing next to Sherlock's room is the only bathroom at Baker Street, I bet there's a decent sized one upstairs next to John's room, with a huge claw-foot bath).
I am considering building 221 (a, b and c) Baker Street in Sims 2 at some point, just because. Usually I build castles, so it would be a challenge to do something different but I think a game reinstall might be required first.
