so my little sister shanna has gotten
really into the sims 4 again recently
which of course warms my cold little
heart she's been playing a ton
she's mostly just been downloading
houses off the gallery and like using
other people's houses but this weekend
she tried to build the house
actually the direct quote she texted me
was i tried building a house
did not work and she sent me a picture
and we were like talking about it i was
trying to help her a little bit and she
asked me to renovate it for her
and so today we are going to do just
that now just to clarify i was given
permission to make fun of this house
she wanted me to that was the whole
point of it right although she was very
concerned
about getting gallery hate comments so
please don't be mean to my little sister
she also used custom content which i
don't have
and she didn't landscape the house but
she furnished it a little bit and she's
got a few packs
two bedrooms one bathroom honestly the
house isn't bad i just probably could
use some help with the roof
so let's try and fix it shall we she
built it down here on this lot and you
know what this video might be helpful
for those of you who are starting out
building because listen i am only good
at building because i build
so often like i make houses in the sims
multiple times a week
i mean i build like five six seven
houses a week and that's why i'm pretty
good at building nobody's first house
looks great and the house itself is
really cute
of course you use the most expensive
appliances too we got a 13 000 simoleon
stove living room's nice
christmas tree bathroom two bedrooms i
mean it's a decent house i wonder
if she's actually playing in this house
i assume she's got a toddler then so we
can we can decorate the house to fit the
sims i'm gonna be honest i think
i think the roof could use a little bit
of help so we'll probably redo the roof
the floor plan is pretty much fine i
might add like some porches and
backyards and stuff this will be good
this will be easy all right i'm going to
rotate it though because the lot
technically faces this way like when i
post this to the gallery this will
actually be the front now maybe delete
the snowman too i'm sorry mr snowpal you
didn't deserve that
kind of want to move the stairs i think
oh
she put the oh shanna she put the look
the wall is cutting through the bathroom
i didn't even notice that
and this is blocking the window okay
we'll have to rearrange this one i might
delete all the windows in the back of
the house
i think maybe getting a porch would be
really nice maybe like a bigger front
door
too okay that'll be good okay step one
we want to get a nice
big roof oh maybe that's too big of a
roof how do i want to do this that
actually looks pretty okay
so a lot of times when i'm roofing
houses like this i'll put the roof
pieces in the biggest parts of the house
first
so this part is like the longest so i'll
i'll drag this
fully across and put a roof like that
we'll get a smaller one in the front
just as like a decorative piece right
and then in the back this part's kind of
hard
i don't really know what i would do with
this i probably wouldn't put like a
giant one because then it's like so big
and it looks kind of funky from the
front like it's kind of hard to tell
what to do with that
so i think what i would do is probably
just get
like a half gabled roof and put it back
there so like if i were to keep the
house
exactly the same i'd probably roof it
like this obviously i would do some
things to make it clip less over here
like you know drag that in with this
part you can make like two pieces of the
roof this is a little bit complicated
seeming but look we want one to be like
just in the corner and then you copy it
you put another one and then you delete
the overhang there so that way it looks
like the roof is kind of blending in
it kind of has like a little weird flap
but it looks okay
and i think just in general that looks
really nice from the front i feel like
we should try to get some sort of like
maybe the back porch it can be a really
simple house just like a little back
porch right there
it doesn't have to be big and fancy
shannon has island living seasons cats
and dogs city living parenthood and dine
out
okay i also want to keep her color
scheme like we'll keep the white
paneling on the top floor although i'm
going to use columns instead of uh
that trim because the trim is kind of
scary looking and we'll keep the brick
on the first floor
i might put like some sort of trim to
separate it though
that looks good right we're gonna have
to redo the windows
the windows look a little bit silly we
can keep them in the front though i
think the front of the house looks nice
i'm not trying to change like shanna's
entire build because i want her to know
that she did a good house like we
we can keep this whole thing and it's
perfectly acceptable usually i would use
the get together columns but i don't
think she has get together so i'll use
these base game ones
that is wood right yeah okay i just like
it i think it helps to have like that
finishing touch you know hence why i do
it in every single one of my builds
oh i don't know what color she painted
the roof because it was snowing i'm
gonna bet she probably didn't paint the
roof because it was snowing
so i'll just put like a this one i don't
know it looks fine see i think that
looks really nice
i'm a little bit biased but i think it
looks really good i have never been a
huge fan of this flooring i'm gonna be
honest this is like
in my mind well it is it's rustic
subfloor slats like it's a subfloor
so in my mind it looks very unfinished
so i'm probably not gonna use it i'm
sorry if you like it no harm
i'm just gonna pick one that's like a
similar color but slightly different i
like what she did with this i
i like how the living room looks i think
i want to move the stairs
though i don't know i just i feel like
that's helpful that's better maybe
i don't know maybe i hate why i hate how
that clips
in the sims 3 used to be able to put the
railing on just one side of the stairs
which makes way more sense i don't know
why you can't now
like it clipping with the window looks
so weird oh well it's fine
everything's fine i'll make the bathroom
slightly bigger i think cause that'll be
the parents bathroom so it's fine if
it's big
and then i wonder how we're gonna do
this should there be like an
overhang like an open staircase i feel
like shanna would like that yeah let's
do it there's plenty of space
and then we could still have like i
don't know a desk or something up here
i'm sending her a progress photo
trying to keep her furniture too but i i
don't know
let me just add some lighting really
fast it's kind of dark in here
we need to figure out a second bathroom
i think but i don't really know where to
put it i guess
if it was like that the kitchen could be
oh this could work really well actually
these doors have windows in them i like
the doors too but they've got windows in
them i don't know about a window into
the bathroom especially like right at
eye level
i guess it's no big deal if it's you
know just like the parents bathroom but
i mean get some like kind of fancy ones
too to be honest
i was using this giant window before is
that super weird
i don't think that's super weird it's a
nice extra window although
it doesn't really work this is gonna be
the kitchen i was gonna put cabinets in
front of it like
do i really want to have cabinets
blocking it no i don't i don't actually
care we'll figure it out what tile does
she like oh let's keep that tile that
she picked oh no
why didn't oh because there's not
because there wasn't a wall there
i was sitting here wondering why that
was painting everything it's because it
wasn't actually a room but i fixed it
it's fine
i would like kill to have a fireplace
like this in my bedroom
wouldn't that be so cool i am jealous of
a sim again why do they have all these
bottles in their bedroom
why do they have a bar in their bedroom
all right shannon i'm sorry i'm deleting
those
i don't know how to tell you this but i
i don't really see the point in those
oh i like how she had the under cabinet
lighting we can bring that back too
maybe this stove could go there it's a
weird kitchen
i'm just trying to figure out like how
to make the kitchen bigger you know but
we've obviously stuck it back in a
corner so
what's that oh is that a plate there was
a dirty plate stuck in the wall
your sims put their plates in the
weirdest spots this has probably
happened to you too in your games where
your sims just have plates in like
random places
shanna had the parenthood upper cabinets
but the island living
bottom ones should we should we like
swap it out
they also have two fruit bowls in this
house do you think they have enough
bananas
i think shanna probably likes that it
has the white cabinet and the white
countertop because we don't really have
anything else like that like the
parenthood ones have
a cream countertop these ones are i
don't know blue
almost like the shade of white is
different but there isn't matching upper
cabinets with island living
island living came with instead like
upper shelving and i don't think that's
what shanna wants does it also not come
in white
oh this is horrible what do i do which
do i pick
i want them to match i guess well no the
backsplash has cream in it i'm gonna use
the parenthood once i'm sorry shanna i
might use the parenthood fridge and
stove too
that matches with the backsplash okay
please ignore the fact that i've got
floating things in this room
i'm gonna fix it i promise keep the
fruit bowl
maybe put this fruit bowl in this corner
maybe this one in this corner
i'm keeping both fruit bowls i'm into it
okay i think that's a nice kitchen i'm a
little bit biased but i think it's
pretty
now i think something that i'm
struggling with is trying to figure out
how to fit the fireplace and the tv in
this room like
maybe if the fireplace were here hang on
i don't know i don't know what i'm doing
if the fireplace were here we're gonna
have to figure out a color scheme
please disregard how this looks at the
moment because i will fix it
i'm just thinking if we like expand it a
tiny bit and then i don't know stick the
tv like here
that kind of um is kind of a little bit
in the way of the front door
this is cursed i don't know what to do
lesson learned floor plans are very
difficult
if you struggle with them too don't
worry i think it's especially hard when
you're trying to like not change someone
else's house too much like i want to
keep the layout that shanna had
the couch is really bothering me the
couch not being lined up
like with the window is really bothering
me i don't know how to fix it though i
don't know what to do about this
oh my god someone please help
oh maybe i'll pick a different rug i
guess we could use the rug that shanna
used
underneath the dining table as the
living room rug
and then we could use this rug as the
dining room rug
still works just as well although i
might like scoot it
yeah that's probably better i guess the
bigger table kind of helps fill up the
space
i don't know i don't know we'll get a
coffee table too
i think that's nice i'm probably taking
this too seriously i just i simply don't
want to disappoint my sister
i'm trying to build her a nice house
it's definitely um a little closer to
the door than i would like like i kind
of wish the door wasn't so
i don't know it's kind of like the couch
is kind of blocking the pathway but it's
fine
i am gonna get a coat rack and also
probably an umbrella stand shanna if
you're watching this i don't know if you
knew
but you can actually use this umbrella
stand like you can pick what umbrella
your sim will use in the rain it's kind
of fun
i recommend it i'm gonna get like two of
this painting but i'll use the green
swatch scoot it over okay that's
centered with the column
right see i think that's pretty it's a
nice touch i don't know if i can use
this bar thing
i don't know how to make it fit i feel
like it doesn't match the color scheme
although i don't know what the color
scheme is so slightly more gray chairs
we can keep the light she picked how
about the orchids i think these orchids
are so pretty
should i replace the bar with a bookcase
i'm sorry shanna
um i'm changing it out painting on the
wall there's not a ton of wall space in
this house
maybe we can have a bar in the patio
though like an actual one
would it be too big if i raised this
thing up maybe i'll size it down one
oh i think that looks nice maybe i'll
put it on the corner that's kind of
pretty
yeah let's keep it i think this is the
style shannon was going for right did i
do it
should i do it justice all right small
bathroom perfectly functional though
we need to make sure we have a tub in
the upstairs bathroom because
they have a toddler so it's necessary
i'm trying to i want to use like the
fancy standalone shower
do you think that we could fit one of
these fancy tubs i think shanna would
like this
but i'm not sure if it's like too big do
you know what i mean like i'm not i'm
not sure if it's like
too much i might stick a half wall even
a small one i feel like that's kind of
realistic
fancy bathroom fancy cabinets i'm not
sure if this tub's gonna work
i don't know i don't know about this i
think if we picked a smaller tub
it would still function and it wouldn't
be like so dramatic i mean you could do
like this one
and have it centered underneath the
window and it doesn't look bad there we
go
nice bathroom very cozy a lot of you
have probably noticed this but a lot of
times i put desks in the hallways
and i do this because a lot of times the
hallway is like wasted space in the sims
so i take it and i try and make it
useful and now it's like a kind of small
little office space
i don't know it's nice it's simple it's
functional
maybe another bookshelf i don't know i
feel like the little bookshelves they're
so annoying in the sims because
your sims just grab books to read all
the time but they look nice
all right let's keep the same color
scheme that shanna picked honestly i
never use this thing
that looks kind of cool in there i'll
keep it this toddler can have a really
fancy room i don't mind
oh i want to use this but shannon
doesn't have university so we can't
i should buy her university kid drew
these this is a very talented toddler
actually now that i think about it look
if we're claiming the kid drew those
pictures
very advanced for their age i got a
nightlight well worth it
i'm trying to think should we get like
one of the massive doll houses
maybe i'll give the toddler an ipad i
feel like the dollhouse is worth it why
do i stick the toddler potty should i
just put it in the corner
that sounds awful just just go pee in
the corner you know what i think this
room is nice
actually i might use one of the cats and
dogs blurfies
or the unicorn one oh no let's use the
unicorn one i always use blurfy instead
because it's so much
cheaper like blarfy is 75 it's easy any
kid can have it you can afford it it's a
cheap toy
but like the unicorn ones 400 simoleons
but if shannon's willing to have a 13
000 million stove
i'm not too concerned about the price of
this house okay i kind of want to keep
this room with the same color scheme but
i think we need to i don't know move
things around a tiny bit in here like a
bluish gray instead oh that light
fixture hangs really low i might size it
down so you don't like hit your head on
it
that would not be ideal i wonder what cc
shanna had at the game
deleted okay i think that's a nice room
now to the backyard
this is where it's fun because we get to
add like a pool and stuff for my sister
and i think she'll like that i want a
big backyard i think it's fun to have a
ton of space and the lot has a ton of
space for it so we might as well i'm
sorry i'm doing it i'm i'm doing the
landscaping that i can't stop doing
the same thing that i do in every single
build it's happening
i like that i think she's gonna like it
too at least i hope so
i'll just like put a couple of the trees
that are in the area like this same tree
is right here
i know the kid's a toddler but
eventually it'll be able to use monkey
bars
so i'll have them ready for when it can
oh and what if we got you know how
seasons has so many cool things like a
toddler pool
maybe that will be my final edition a
little toddler pool
you know what i think that's pretty fun
hopefully shannon will like the house
because i think it turned out kind of
cute we got an extra bathroom in it i
did the roof i mean her house was good
before she even said that she
she tried to build it and then kind of
gave up but was like oh i'll furnish it
so that you can make a video so she
didn't even really furnish it she kind
of like half furnished it it was all for
the content
but shannon you did a good job boom it's
on the gallery for you it's not a ton of
packs
please be nice to my little sister and
on that note i will see you all tomorrow
bye everybody i like renovating houses i
know you know this about me because i do
it like
five times a week i just it's one of my
favorite things to do in the sims it's
so much fun
you
