The thing I love about the sims, is a kid leaving home for the first time can afford a home. Talk about fantasy.

I like the last plot being a community space. Maybe a corner grocer or maybe a spot with food stalls. It could also be a toddler park or family hangout since half the homes are family oriented.

You should make a starter apartment with 4-6 different ones inside, and you could use lot challenges to make it harder to live in (kinda like the flop house from the sims 2) and then you could have a community yard where they can do barbeques and all!

Starter apartment block, but make it kinda sketchy so an evil sim can work up to owning it and being a scum lord!

For the empty lot, what about a decent park, which actually includes stuff for kids and toddlers?

My favorite playstyle is maker/self employment and I adore this build as a starter

I love to watch people build in the Sims. I wish I could it looks fun

Satch, there is a trick for decreasing the value of a house and that trick is deleting the undersides of stairways. Also, if you can bothered with looking through the debug items, those are usually free and feature a lot of landscaping objects. Sometimes they may even look better (or worse) than the normal stuff.

Use Debug when u decorate outside to save money!!

Your new hairstyle and colour makes you look younger. I like it!

Love this reno series

I really enjoy this series. I love seeing everyone’s ideas for rebuilding EA builds in every world. Please keep it up Satch! I want to see what you do. ☺️

I made it into a community lot for kids and toddlers. Most of the other parks tend to gravitate to chess and such. I just figured the kids and toddlers needed a park closer to home where they could meet up and hang out.

pro tip for saving some money - delete this tiny wall piece under stairs and fence where stairs go (if you first draw fence and then place stairs it will cutout but you won't get back money until you delete it manualy)

For the last lot, how about a community lot that would be in a starter neighborhood? Maybe a bodega and a laundromat or a grocery store. Perhaps a dive bar. Or a combo of these in one lot.

I think the last lot as a community that can be also used as a stopping over spot for rags to riches players... that way they can have a place to maybe shower, take a nap, read and socialize... how would a shelter be??? I know we don´t have classification of a shelter, but they do usually go into the lower income neighborhoods and would be great for beginner players up to those who want to motherlode cheat and get a bigger house for many sims

Maybe you could do one of those 2 story houses where the top floor is Just the bedroom! There used to be a house like that in a previous sims game (i think sims 2) and i LOVED it for my single sims! it gave off fun clubhouse vibes! OR a KIDDIE PARK! would'nt that be so cute?!

Duplex fits in the empty lot pretty well.

the last lot could be a small park + "corner shop" or cafe type of thing? failing that some really cheap apartments

I turned this lot into Daisy Row and put 2 small houses on it to rent. Use debug hedges instead of fences and that saves a lot

Do a duplex. Since it’s a larger lot you’ll have the funds of 2 families

Yes a Park!!!!!

I built a retirment home on Bargain Bend, with 4 small but homey units for the elders. I could see it as a cheap place for people to retire. They are residential rentals in my game, but I think it could work base game too. It's sweet seeing all the elders catch up with each other and befriend one another.

That Bargain Bend lot should become a bakery, I reckon. 🤪

I would have made the back fence intersect with the shed on at least one side. I feel like for detached garages that's pretty regular. And opening the kitchen would have saved a little as well. Also, I size up plants by one to save a little on ground cover. I guess it looks bad with some plants, but strategically, it's nice. I especially like doing it with the lilly squares, it looks like grass.

You could make a community space. It would be useful to vote for the market or the community garden. But if you want to keep it base game then idk

You could make a tiny community pool or like a corner store on Bargain Bend

Ahh my day is complete a satch on sims reno video lol been looking forward to this. “First imma have a bitch about how much i hate daisy hovel” that is my entire mood today ❤

I would go for two or three town houses in the last lot and use For Rent to make them seperate households. If there's room, you can do a shared garden space/park, found that this works well in my game with some mods to make those shared spaces more lively!

A small house with a park next doors. With the "My little neighborhood" mod, Sims will spawn on the lot and visit the park. And food stalls with automatic employees. Could be funny even without the mods 😊

Honestly a park of some sort poorly neighborhoods always have them it also just fits for me more than another house idea maybe a store though could be good

Omg you should make bargain bend like a junk yard! It'd take up lots of space

The big lot could have a pond for fishing... use up some of that space

Bargain bend? I usually make it a bar. I have this combo bar/performancespace/bowling alley thingie that I just keep putting in there.

I think you should build a diner, but like a cheap one that sells burgers and ribs. Sort of like a hole-in-the-wall diner where sims order from the counter and eat outdoors on simple tables. There can be some playground stuff for the kids, sort of like a place to picnic.

The original build looks like a straight man decorated it.

Satch, use Debug and Live Edit objects for your landscaping!! It'll save a ton of money and gives a much larger variety.

Shouldn't your next lot (that is currently empty) be a small apartment block, with a couple of different styles of apartments... like studio (0 bedroom/bedsit type places) and small budget 1-bedroom apartments. Or maybe a lot containing the different types of "Tiny homes"?

I think I would have left the house smaller since you added a room in the back if its for one sim since they will be spending most of their time in the work room/shed and the fence costs a lot, and totally remove the fencing on the garden as its not needed for a starter its really just decor. But I do a lot of tiny builds so thats just how I think

Trying to start my own renovation videos on youtube and failing 🤣😩I get carried away and they do not stay on budget! Overall i think i renovate them ok, if anyone is interested watching. I applaud the effort you put into your videos👏

I vote some kind of community lot they can decide on!

Definitely a community lot. It's such a big space.

I'd just leave out the back garden fence altogether to save money. It's an easy addition when you have the cash if you want it.

A small shop should be in that next lot!

"im feeling a diarrhea today" Satch 2024

You're a gem satch ❤

So cute, I love starter homes the most

My last game I made turned this lot into a community lot and made it a halfway house lol

Thank you! Wonderful, per usual! That blonde is doing it for me! I love that color on you!

You should use some **debug** landscaping. Those are free.

You know you love daisy hovell

😊 thank you for the video

Could a dark wood base game door work for the tall fence gate?

2 starter homes, or a duplex. Community lot would be good too

Love your hear !!!!

What is the name of this build in the gallery please? I appreciate you!

why do you look so good cosplaying nsync

Willow Creek is New Orleans inspired , so the daisy hovel is supposed to be a shot gun house. These are Narrow Long Victorian homes that the lower class lived in. Do a Web search: shotgun home new orleans.

What about the last lot being a junky 3 roommate house!

4:36 I HATE EA FOR THAT

Still a better build than EAs so show yourself some grace

What about a community garden?

Im feeling the diarrhea today too jk

He looks too good blonde

Anyone else yellong save at the screen from time to time? Just in case it freezes again?

0:03 is the enhanced map a mod?

Why not use debug plants? They don't cost money.

❤❤

1) I don't know why 90% of the planta and landcaping aren't free. I understand why rose bushes and dogwood trees aren't free, but come on! I really have to pay for some grass and wildflower patches?!?!? Things that grow naturally anyway?!?! 2) I HATE when simmers make builds that consist of $100,000 worth of plants. James Turner comes to mind when I say this. Like there is NO reason why house on a 30x20 lot needs to be surrounded by a forest. And it's always the ugly ass plants too that are all placed without any rhyme or reaaon. And I end up deleting it all anyway and redoing it myself. Either simmers need to upload builds to the gallery WITHOUT any landscaping done, or the Sims 4 needs to inplement a bulldoze option for JUST plants.

First 💕

why add that stupid, members first label it's greedy. it is distracting from the video! and creates FOMO. and for someone who talks about sims 4 doing fomo, you should understand why it is annoying.
