I'm running out of ideas for practicing map building

Hi builders!

I was wondering how to get inspiration or ideas for building maps specifically for simulators and low poly. I usually find myself dry with ideas and losing creativity. I sometimes don’t even know where to start. My main goal overall is to start building a solid portfolio for commissions or potentially getting hired.

If you could help recommend me some methods for getting inspiration and creativity, I would be more than happy!

I’m also open to recommendations/tips for beginner building as well.

(sorry if this is in the wrong category. I don’t usually create that many posts lol)

There isnt much creativity in simulator games so it makes sense you have come to a dead end. I strongly recommend working on different kind of projects that have more freedom of choice. (Try brainstorming some ideas) If you wanna be more artistic and fresh, you could switch to showcases.
