Thank you for an entertaining video! Your english is good! Don’t feel like you have to apologise for it! :)

Your English is fantastic, girl! 😘

I tried building a house after first making my dream backyard patio but I can’t seem to get it done. I worked backwards lol Anyway, do you think you can fix it? Just using my back deck that I would like to attach to the house with sliding doors leading into the kitchen? I wanted a basement and a second floor too. Lol

I was actually watching this thinking what a lovely accent you have, alongside the very helpful tips you gave.

Sad reality 😂 I notice that sims tend to sit and eat where more people are. So if 2 sims are on the breakfast bar just chatting, the 3rd sim with a bowl of cereal will sit by that bar instead of the dining table

@@paszerineHelpful acknowledgment!

Mine keep eating on their tot's beds

same bro, same with me. I am so glad I found this channel in the comment section on a bigger sims creator

I struggle the most with wallpapers too, it is LITERALLY the hardest part of the game for me and take quite a lot of trial and error to choose! Picking good windows for exteriors is also really difficult.

what I usually do is start off with a light wall for everywhere and then when the rooms are coming together, see which colors you would like to accent by making the walls that color. typically, using colors from rugs, bedspreads, flowers, are all good because the color scheme stays in tact. you can do accent walls to make something like a gallery wall or the wall with the tv in the living room, for example, look more visually interesting. for kids' rooms, i typically go them in very different styles to the rest of the home with lots more color and different furniture. you can also do columns with walls as in a 1x1 room in the corner of a room such as the bathroom or living room and give that a textured wall for interest. for exteriors, i try to stick to the same undertones unless it's vastly different colors, like a red brick and blue paneling home looks good and normal but a home that had a warm brown and cold brown exterior doesn't work that well. again with color schemes, try to stick to a select few colors for cohesion. lots of homes will have one section that is brick/stone and the rest is paneling to change up the texture. i hope this helped a little!

Exterior tips: Small home: 2-3 wallpapers Big home: 4-6 wallpapers Cut of with a foundation Traditional: sliding, brick, Modern: stone, light, neutral/ or pops of color Interior tips: Kitchen/ bathroom: based of floor Living room: based on couch Bedroom: based on bed Keep colors on warm/ or cold, only next color or contrasting

Hi! I'm considering making a tutorial about this actually. More specifically on how you can combine in-game colors to use for your interiors. :) I'll be working on it

I struggle with wallpapers (and flooring) too! All my houses are white from the inside and out. I try to incorporate colors through chairs, books, kitchen-counters and all that, but It's still not enough. I physically cannot get myself to use yellow, blue, or any vibrant color (on my walls) without wanting to puke.

That's actually quite helpful! It's nice to have one room connecting many others. A lot of ideas can stem from one box already

The last time I tried doing this, my house still ended looking a hot mess- especially outside. So, I'll try this again and see.

i do this

This is how I build all of my houses 🥲 easier to get the structure first and add detail.

That's great! So long as they can still move in-between objects right?

There's also an opposite that you have to consider. When making big houses in the sims, you gotta make sure everything is easy to reach and not that far just to reduce the amount of time your sims spend walking from one place to another. Of course, this doesn't mean that EVERYTHING needs to be close from each other, but you gotta consider distance if you don't want your sim to spend an entire minute walking from the kitchen to their bedroom.

THIS! That's definitely one of my pet peeves lol. I know exactly how you feel 😅 It's never enough to have a house look just pretty. It has to be functional and efficient too. I want to expand more on the topic about floor plans because one video isnt enough. Perhaps that can be a part 2 for this video

I feel you! I found an absolutely pretty vampire themed house only to realise how small and cramped it is in live mode 😭

Ugh. The struggle isnreal. Builders don't play. Players don't build 😂

That's actually an interesting challenge! Thanks for the idea :) that would be cool in terms of renovating existing hones built by Maxis themselves

Thank you so much! I hope you chase that dream 😁

I'm glad this was helpful! It's always easier to group rooms together when things get messy :)

That's actually pretty cool! My friend and I tried figuring out the scale of tiles too and it's good that you figured it out. I think there isnt anything wrong with having to make adjustments in-game because the object are hardly to-scale 😅

@@paszerine It took some time to figure out. Most people online say a tile is either 2 ft or 3 ft so I was like “maybe its 2.5??” Diagonal shapes in floor plans really helped me figure it out.

Thank you so much! That was my intent and something I wanted to try so I really appreciate it 💕

I personally think open concepts are the best especially with smaller homes! And thank you 😊 I'm actually considering doing some tutorials for exterior design someday

Yes they're amazing! Glad this was helpful 😊

Yeah, I did my best to cram a year of learning in less than 30 minutes 😅 House planning pretty much works in the Sims though, because youre basically designing a house for pixel people. It can be as realistic or as stylized as you want, but planning still helps.

Thank you so much for your feedback! You can still do the outside walls first in your builds, and then use the methods I shared after :) like, take the outline of your exterior perhaps and draw it in graph paper, then just draw interior walls. You can also use the bubble diagram the way I did when I renovated the apartment in the vid :) As for stairs, hallways are fine as long as it's in an area where it's close to a social zone like the foyer or living room :) And thank you! I always find roofing a challenge so it's nice to know when people like my roofs. I'll consider doing that tutorial, perhaps when I learn more techniques

Aww thank you! Glad this was helpful for you ☺❤ I absolutely adore your work

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this and found this helpful 😊

Thank you for your feedback! Happy to know this was helpful :) I'll think about doing other tutorials as I am honestly still learning better landscaping and roofing techniques. It's nice to know that people like my landacapes and roofs however, so thank you!

Thank you so much Pink! I am so happy you like this! Your sims are now part of my main save 😍

Glad this was helpful 🤗

I was looking for user examples for grid plans and I am super grateful that I found your work! I think you did a splendid job so thank you too 😊

Thank you so much!

Glad this was helpful 🥰

Thank you so much! ☺

Thank you so much! ❤

Thank you so much!

Thanks for your feedback! And thank you in general. Glad this could be helpful :)

Thank you so much and welcome! 😊❤

Thank you so much 🥰

Aww thank you so much 🥰 and welcome!

Thank you!

Aww thank you! ❤

Thank you so much! ❤

Glad you enjoyed this! That actually works too. Makes for an interesting home and accommodates furniture layouts the way you want them to

Glad this was helpful! And thank you 😊

Glad it was helpful! Yeah, the bathroom placement and distance has always been a pet peeve of mine 😅

Thank you! I am really happy this was helpful 😊

Ohh thank you! ❤

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you! ❤

Thank you so much! ❤

Maraming salamat and nice to meet you! It's nice meeting ID students here and I am so happy you're a simmer too 😍 I wish you all the best in your studies! If you have any questions about anything regarding your lessons, I'd be happy to help 😊 you can join my discord if you'd like

Thank you so much! ❤

Yeah sometimes I run into the same problem when I build 😅 but I find grabbing a piece of paper and doodling circles like a bubble diagram layout of the house to be helpful. Or if my brain isnt so cooperative, I call it a day and take a break. It just might be that tired 😅 glad music is helpful and inspiring for you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Glad this could be helpful 😊

Thank you! Glad you like them 🥰 those curtains are actually curved and made for round windows though so I didnt think much when I used them 😅

Glad this was helpful! ❤

Glad this was helpful! ❤

Thank you! I am a fan of Wright and Mies van der Rohe 🥰 I think many people had tried recreating those homes in the Sims. You can always choose to use CC

Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it 😊 to be fair, these planning methods are always better done on paper, but for presentation sake I decided to share them using apps. The bubble diagram is the most efficient when it comes to space planning imo, and you can even transform (or evolve) a bubble diagram you made into a grid plan too to make it clearer. Yes I had someone mention that the rooms upstairs couldve been bigger, and thats fair too. I can make that bathroom a master bath, but I was bent on having the 2 rooms be able to share one bathroom upstairs 😅 No I never really have go-to room sizes, though we can all agree that square shaped rooms are the easiest to design in. On stop-motion, I will consider it most definitely! I have a tutorial for beginners already, but not one more advanced. I was also asked about camera angles and transitions so I may make a video on that 😊
