I like to nail my bottom/top plate in place and then add studs when it comes to basements, concrete is never perfectly level so most of the times you end up cutting different measurements for each stud.

I've framed thousands of basements. If you have to use a template you're not ready.
My tip: Always look up!

I’ve always stacked my studs below joists. Even though it’s not bearing, makes it easier to run hvac etc

yeah, this is a great explanation and I love the tip of the template getting you on center. Any tips for dealing with an uneven concrete floor?

since I've never found a level floor in a basement, I usually end up stick building. but a standard framing is way easier.

I prefer building on the floor but unfortunately it doesn't work when when rehabbing old homes because nothing is square/straight/on center

also, play it safe - use treated wood for the base board.

Just frame it according to your local building codes. My jurisdiction requires a double top plate and pressure treated bottom plate.

what about putting 1" foam board on the concrete wall and screwing the wood wall frame tight to the concrete with foam in between?

Why the shims on the bottom plate? Couldn’t you make the wall exact? (Not a framer)
