4x4 Tiny Home CHALLENGE! (Sims 4)

Since they added ladders in game, I think it's high time we revisit the tiny 4x4 homes I made years ago!

*2 things that have/would change the whole tiny homes game:* 1. ladders ✅ 2. bunk beds ❔❔❔

[@francescatreadgold]

It should be easy now to make bunk beds as they have worked out the ladders!

[@vantablack6288]

>mfw bunk beds show up in the sims mobile before the sims 4 >mfw i see what ea's priorities are ah well, time to spend 700 bucks on dlc

[@andien8009]

It’s really strange that the update with ladders was not released around tiny living

[@xxsadiemichellexx458]

EA is just so dumb 😂

[@sha46327]

MOBILE got bunkbeds!! I am livid about it... in their update that is essentially Tiny Living stuff, bunkbeds - but not for PC/console?! LIVID!!

[@Rachelhappyface]

I got SO confused by you going on about north facing windows, then I remembered you’re in the opposite hemisphere to me 😂 I was sat here thinking “surely south-facing would be sunnier?”. Which begs the question, what hemisphere is the sims world even in? Do hemispheres exist for the sims? This is what happens when I start thinking at night...

[@nosafetynets]

Winterfest is the Sims version of Christmas, which would place it in the northern hemisphere.

[@kamilerastene5275]

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I was like "Who the heck has their windows in the North? You can get mold and stuff more that way...

[@sarahfeher1993]

The standing desk is the best thing to happen for me in 2020! Equal parts loving the attitude it brings, and marvelling over how long you actually stand because I ain’t about that life!

[@tatyanaaurinko2288]

Syara basically a desk you can pull up taller and you can work while standing up instead of sitting on a chair

[@vivaille_]

@Syara Probably due the fact that standing is healthier instead of sitting(?); ofc, standing still the whole time isn't really good, but if you keep moving (stretching legs e.g.) then it's better than sitting. Plus, I would say that you feel more energetic if you stand! (I often feel sluggish after a longer period of sitting) This is more my view on it, but I think more ppl share these thoughts

[@blondeshort906]

When my new office was built last year everyone got a standing desk. And now I’ve been stuck at home since March. I miss it so much.

[@DoveJS]

@@vivaille_ Standing for long periods of time is also unhealthy, even if you are moving around a lot; the key is moderation so it's great to have an adjustable set-up, allowing you to take a break from either sitting or standing. :)

[@sarahfeher1993]

Syara I don’t have a desk at all, I just love that it’s gives James the freedom to bounce and move about! Even more personality on show and I love it! x

Wait. They're dating now?

[@alisaihmemaassa5186]

@@MsAngelique yes! Have been for a while, they shared it on their instagrams a few weeks ago.

[@eee5448]

Syara I mean for me (f17) it’s just that I get less tense when standing up and focus better! But other people (often older like 45+) it helps with back problems and health issues. Like chances of obesity are lowered and overall mood is better with less grumpiness/grogginess that one can get after sitting for too long. During quarantine I’ve been able to stand during classes and find that I get a lot less bored and become more motivated.

[@DaxG-qp3jf]

@Syara minimizes back problems, yes! Also leg cramps. Great for restless legs, a less chance of blood clots in legs if sedentary or obese, and more energy overall. And nice for adhd or doing pomodoros for my can't focus peeps. You dont feel like youre gonna fly out of that chair from nervous energy.

[@cami87]

I’ve been looking for an opportunity to talk about my love for plants. Thanks! I have A LOT of plants. There’s the four mini palm trees. They’re called “sponge bob and the other three.” Being the oldest, they r my favorites! I also have three cactuses. One is named Mike, the other Spike, and the other Lola. A friend gave them to me as a gift (she knows how much I ADORE plants) These r a really recent addition to the family, I would say she gave them to me like two weeks ago. I also have some of the ones you can harvest put in food. I can’t remember the name right now, but they look adorable. I got them little signs to put the names, but I haven’t put them up yet so I always forget the names. These are also one of the oldest, since I got them since they where seeds. I have them in the balcony because they need a lot of sunlight. Then there’s Orchids.They r basically just really pretty flowers. I love them because they change the aesthetic of the room. They have yellow in the middle and white in the whole rest. I still need to decorate it’s soil with the colorful rocks. The rocks act as fertilizer but it also looks nice. Imma go fast with the rest, because they’re just leafs. One is super light green, and it’s named Ricky. There’s a trio that are just your standard everyday plant. I think that’s it. (Sorry if there where any spelling pr grammar mistakes, English is my second language, correct me if there’s anything wrong please!

[@Qermaq]

Heh. In Sims 3 I made a 4x4 home. Door is on the 2nd tile from the left. On the right side, a 3-tile bathroom (toilet and shower), and the far spare tile is where the fridge goes. On the left, a single bed (head near the door) and a 1 tile dining table past the foot. Between the door and the bath, there's a sink. There's a chair at the dining table, and a Late Night trash chute between the chair and the fridge. Put a laptop on the table, make a Sim with Loner and Hates The Outdoors, and lock them in. Just these 16 tiles will let them do fine. If they have Computer Whiz or Writing they can make money, buy real estate, you know the drill.

When I do the small bathrooms I size down the sink one time, so it doesn't go into the wall ☺️

[@draconix4131]

Here’s a build challenge idea: The ultra skinny house. It has to 2 units wide, and a mini house. It has to be fully functional and your sims has be to be able to live there. There have to be skill building items. You are allowed to put on a second floor. Non of the furniture or in household items can be placed outside unless they are exclusively outdoor items. You can put the bathroom as a extension to the back of the house, but it has to be 1 unit wide. It would be better if it was not an extension.

@@alexm2685 Not going to lie to you, there are some spiders and bugs around, but the huge majority of them are harmless.
