Building a House on a Budget BUT I Can't See The Price ?? The Sims 4 Build Challenge

[@sydmac]

*HOW TO TRY THIS CHALLENGE YOURSELF:* 1. Pick a random budget 2. From the manage worlds menu, click on an unoccupied lot and then click the build button in the button right corner 3. Build a house and try to get the price as close to the random budget as possible! No peeking at the price! 4. When you're done, check the price under the venue info button in the top left corner!

[@yeetissheetsfoot60]

I have try this it so hard 😭

[@ChibiRandom13]

idk why but my lot value venue info thing doesn't really go up when I add stuff, so for anyone who also has that problem, you can do the add lot to gallery thing to see if you matched the price range! and you don't have to actually post it if you don't want to. I had to do that a bunch when i was renovating base game builds and wanted to keep them at least around the same price :)

[@nadiabouk8712]

As someone who often builds for my sims (at 30-40k budgets) the sims items are always way more expensive than they seem! Like one second you’re splurging on a couch and the next you’re 10k over budget lol

[@sydmac]

right???? omg same with real life too like WHY ARE COUCHES SO EXPENSIVEEEE

[@gisela_oliveira]

I love how she always mention the pack the items come from, is so casual and helps us to know wherer or favorite items are (espetially since is hard to see the icons and recognize the pack)

[@Narra0002]

Same

[@gloomy_days]

Love to see you're being sponsored for bigger and bigger companies!! Go off sis, loved the outfits❤️❤️

[@sydmac]

thank you😭😭💕

[@MonicaMettert]

Yes!!! You look so cute Syd!

[@jordane243]

This house turned out so adorable, I love the kids room so cozy!

[@sydmac]

thank you:D

[@kisa6143]

I really appreciate you narrating what you're doing especially in building the roof. I struggle a lot with it so hearing your thought process made me look at roofing in a different angle!

[@sydmac]

thank you:D i always try and break the roofing process down in my videos, it's understandably the most frustrating part for so many people 💕

[@Lea-mx5dh]

Literally just finished watching her last video and see this posted 30min ago 😭 queen is keeping us well fed with content 💕

[@sydmac]

hehe aw thank you for noticing!!🤗 i'm really out here trying my best💕😭

[@stella4320]

You could do another budget challenge, but you have to build with mystery/hidden budget. 🙈 Maybe someone could set you a random budget that you won't know until the build is done, or you are out of money.😏 When building, you hide the budget with tape or something else.😁❤️

[@purrpawl]

As a kid i would DİE to have a house like this. Especially the play area underneath the stairs🥺 i would go under any little nook and declare them as my ✨house✨ I really want to cuddle little Eda right now. Thank you for this amazing build :)

[@sydmac]

aw haha i wanted a little play area under the stairs SO BAD too😭

[@purrpawl]

@@sydmac 🥺😍❤️❤️

[@xxasthticthingsxx3193]

Honestly, I found your channel recently and you’re amazing! Your builds are really underrated!!

[@sydmac]

aw thank you!!💕

[@eliondoa8000]

Girl, I knew you were going to be over the budget as soon as you built the shell😂 but I love this build so much, just like all of your other builds! You are definitely my favorite builder on KZbin (and SO underrated)❤️

[@mysticalkoala6124]

Syd always has these ideas that would drive any other person into insanity if it weren’t Syd herself.

[@yumekkuno]

this honestly brightened my day by a lot, thank you for uploading on like the literal perfect time

[@sydmac]

aw im glad!! have a good day:)

[@aderonkeadebisi3528]

At this point, I don’t even read the title of syd’s vidoes anymore. I just trust they will be good😭😭

[@halflingskye]

girl you made such a nice house and at 5am, how in the world?? 😅

[@sydmac]

LOL omg majority of the videos on this channel were shot at 5AM😭😭 hahaha unfortunately i'm most productive in the early mornings ('m fine i swear)😭

[@halflingskye]

@@sydmac LMAO I like to think I'm a morning person and I could never 😂😂

[@jade839]

Okay but the outfits you had on in the ad, so cute! The way I was holding my breath before you pressed venue info! Cluttering really adds up. I just tried to build a lived in, homey starter and it was like 48k with the clutter! 😩🤣

[@mviola2707]

This house is so cute and it gives me cosy vibes😍 it's literally screaming "fall season".

[@sydmac]

thank you💕🍂

[@RSiB-22]

Honestly, this has got to be one of my favorite builds I’ve seen recently. Can’t wait to download it

[@elladjeket9316]

I love your videos so much! A cool challenge to try (if you haven't already) would be to build a generic house and furnish it and then try to make it fit in all seasons without changing the original structure and just by changing the swatches of the items for example

[@evanallaire2829]

Build Challenge Idea: Every Room is a Different Music Genre from the Sims

[@annajohnson8124]

Just saw another youtuber comment on Toronto housing prices, and came up with a brilliant challenge. The house they were talking about was 8 ft wide and cost $2M. So, the challenge, Build a house no wider than 4 tiles. Make it as long or tall as you need, but the budget needs to be over $1M. If anyone can do it, Syd Mac can.

[@serben6434]

Favorite time of the day🔥🔥🔥

[@starstruck_sims]

THIS IS SO PRETTY 😭😭 you could try this with rooms also, each room has its own budget (build them on different lots), and then put them together as a puzzle challenge at the end

[@HalfMyShina]

Your videos always are so full creativity and you’re just so talented Syd I love your build all over agian U//U

[@sydmac]

Thank you so much!!💕💕

[@charitycodes]

What might make it a bit more interesting is to use a sim with the random budget set as household funds like usual. Then put a sticker on your screen over the household budget so you can't see it. The only issue is that high priced items will turn red when you can't afford them, which does give you some warning. Build the shell first. After that, no wall removals or spandrel/half wall/fence conversions of walls. Furnish in any order that you want, but once an item is purchased, it cannot be sold. Recolors or moving things around is allowed. When you run out of money, you are done.

[@EllaTurtella]

That upstairs had some PRIME realestate for a baby closet with door. Next time there's a 1x2 closet like that turn it into an aesthetic cluttered baby neglect closet it'll be so cool (babies are objects in the Sims 4 so its ok)

[@sydmac]

Baby neglect closet😂😂😂😭

[@Franzilita]

Maybe you have gone overboard with the budget, but this house is so cute and cozy, it's definitely worth a few thousand simoleons more. Love this build!

[@sydmac]

thank you:)

[@elenaamore4762]

It’s so fun when Editing Syd leaves tidbits throughout videos haha

[@kayleekemp4803]

I think it would be so cool if you did a build inspired by your building when your channel first began getting bigger! (since you've just gotten 100k which is insane I'm so happy for you!) think like the bowing nights chevron wall panel, outdoor retreat lamp, jungle adventure fridge, toddler lights etc! everything you used to use all the time when your channel was boosting!

[@riewinters]

I get so excited when I see a notification from you!

[@autumnaltumn]

when I saw the title I literally said "ooooh that's a good challenge" out loud lol. can't wait to watch this video!!!

[@ayangyi]

in love with the master bedroom and the kids corner under the stairs turned out so cute too! ㅠㅠ♡

[@cantimagine770]

Okay no but all things aside those jeans at 2:40 looked so good on you! Idk if I can pull it off but you sure did! ❤

[@niceshoelaces808]

Ooooooo I love ThredUp!! It’s so nice to donate clothes knowing that, even if ThredUp doesn’t buy them from me, at least all of the fabric will be recycled. I used to volunteer at a clothing pantry and it’s unbelievable how many donations ended up in the garbage 😞

[@rayannetavares4027]

I usually more into modern/contemporary houses, but I’d love live in this house… so cozy!

[@cacaiaslf]

From the title, I thought it was going to work like that: you get a budget but you don't know what budget that is, someone set it for you, then you build without knowing how much do you have, and risk saving too much or don't having enough to finish the build. That would be fun too!!

[@devilishpie]

for the first time I'm early, so i will edit this when i finish watching the video The house looks super cute and cozy! I love the pumpkin patch and greenhouse!

[@kari_sims]

It turned out so cute!! The reverse could be fun too, where you randomize the price, but you'll build without seeing what price was randomized 🙃

[@elderains]

That chimney with the two roof pieces just blew my mind :0 TY!

[@asiatomaszewska1151]

This is what a cinnamon latte would look like if it were a building. 😍🎃☕ BUILDING IDEA: spooky season already started so maybe you could build a pumpkin house. But not a cottage surrounded by pumpkins, but a pumpkin-shaped house - literally. 🎃🍂🎃

[@shannonellisyt]

I love how the kids bedroom turned out! so cute and cosy!

[@sydmac]

thank you:)

[@racoonlin1208]

I hope you know how adorable and cute you are.. It makes me so happy to see, that you’re getting sponsored more and more and I feel so grateful that I can see how you and your community grows! Hopefully you can understand, what I wrote - my English is a little bad.. 🫣😇 Greetings from Germany!❤️

great challenge and sponsor and brilliant timing especially as it is nearing end of tax season (at least in Australia) and coming into holiday season - budgets get scary around this time of year

[@awdatzya]

i am not a fan of brown color in general, but here it looks wonderful and sooo cozy! i love it

[@sydmac]

thank you:D💕 i'm normally not either, but tis the season🍂

[@tess1847]

omg i always wondered how to build with infinite funds in the sims!! THANK YOU!!

[@lizamichelleva8375]

Girl you are so pretty and the outfits you picked are soooo gorgeous!

[@hannah.-.4628]

Love that build

[@sydmac]

thank you:D

YESSSSSS!!A NEW VIDEOOOOO!!thank you syd

[@jenniferbilly1]

So nice! I needed this video right now.

[@lorrainethomas8797]

You may have failed the challenge but that is the perfect family home for the way I play. Love it.

[@margaritadankova5061]

You're so gorgeous, I loved your autumnal looks from the ad!

[@sydmac]

thank you:D

[@lizt5767]

I haven’t even watched the full video but I already know it’s going to look stunning✨

[@connieangera]

I love you just so much that even if I haven't finished watching your video yet, I already smashed that like button.

[@labelette]

Your videos challanges are my fav ! I love how creative you are and every build is always amazing. I really liked the one blinded too !

[@alienflower7651]

Love when you post girl, fav KZbinr ❤

[@user-yv9eu4so9p]

I know this is from a while ago, and there's a good chance you know this already now, but for that roofing issue you ran into in the kids room with the wallpaper, if you shrink the roof so that the roof wall doesn't touch the actual wall, and then hold shift and pull the edge of that roof to the room so you can't tell from the outside, it fixes that particular issue.

[@discordphantom9882]

You should make a video on how to do things in build mode that add some pizaz to builds. I wish I could build as good as you. 😩

[@thejompi]

Building with a budget gives me anxiety, I admire all those builders who always do starter homes and make them look good.

[@TheErasSwiftie8523]

The house is super pretty! I also love how you always come up with the most creative shell/roof! Loved watching the vid Syd!❤

[@amalia.ramospereira]

Oh my gooood ur fit from the sponsor is sooooo prettyyyyy

[@FullHouseFan1313]

The fact that you got up at 5 am just to film is just amazing

[@wiktorynka1227]

When it comes to roofing a house you are a queen, i could never!

[@sydmac]

thank you:D

[@AlyssumCandyYT]

You did way better than I thought! The house is freaking adorable though!!!

[@silvervixen007]

Could you do a every room is a random size and budget? I think that could be really fun!

[@siyae1507]

I LOVEEE UR FIT HERE OMG

[@sydmac]

thank you💕

[@lettuce246]

Yo I shop at thredup so much! Congrats on the sponsorship!

[@Bea_Cannelloni]

The house turned out so cute and cosy. Love the autumn vibes. 🍁😊 Autumn fashion is also my favourite to shop for. Boots, coats and scarves. Just love it. 😄👌🏽

[@princessofdeath4300]

I would like to see this challenge again but you do enter in the budget number in the bottom but maybe cover it up with a sticker or your face cam so that way you cannot see how much it drops down and as the red starts to appear the more you freak out. And you cannot go back and delete items to make enough money for other items and no going back to add more stuff in, once the room is done it is done. Like if you did the kitchen last but only have enough for 2 things.

[@reynavaldez13]

wow I really love the vibes of this house, it's so perfect!

[@jenn3806]

New here and I LOVE your builds! This is my favorite so far! Can’t wait to download this from the gallery

It's so cute! it reminds me of a cabin in the mountains. Very cozy :D

[@sydmac]

thank you:)

[@olivec4451]

i’m a new subscriber! this is my first time finding a simmer that likes to style their homes similar to me! keep it up i’ll definitely will be watching your channel in the future 💘

[@sydmac]

ahh thank you:D and welcome to my channel!💕

[@w0lf.x]

id be fun to see a challenge similar to this one where u generate a random price but once u reach the max price u just cant place anything else no idea how that would work but it seems cool

[@mallowmarsh3244]

yesss syd getting those sponsers!! hope you’re well gorgeous ❤️❤️

[@blakepearce198]

Haha i love how you know you have a budget then proceed to clutter the crap out of everything when you know TP is 50 bucks lol. It was so beautiful though.

[@maryjanem5500]

yes i love pumpkin patches we want yesterday and I want to keep on going or just stay there 😆

[@MissDesdemona]

Tbh I thought you were closer to 100k so you did great.

[@keiannaaurea9835]

your videos are always to best way to start the day :')

[@LilMoonieDragon]

Your builds are always so pretty! I really love how both of the bedrooms turned out~!

[@sydmac]

Thank you!! 😊

[@joelmelissam]

I thought it was going to be $70K. Love it. Feeling inspired to build one.

[@heg203]

This was a great challenge! I’d love to see you do it again!

[@lariwoon]

I LOVED this one, it makes me want to have something like this for my new save ❤️

[@sydmac]

thank you:D

[@honestypolicy4108]

I know you’ve already done this but I hope there’s another part of EVERY ROOM IS A DIFFERENT SIMS 4 WORLD OR MAYBE TINY HOUSES 💜🙏🏼

[@juliescapulet]

I love your Channel and watching it grow has made me so happy for you!!!

[@sydmac]

Thank you so much!!💕

[@breakinfreee]

I was yelling about budget since you got to the kid’s room. 😂 I can’t believe I guessed the budget!

[@kayedee96]

I think this could also be stressful if you set the budget with a sim on the lot and then you cover that corner of the screen with a sticky note or something (can also block from our view) so when the $$ runs out things go red etc and you panic and try to delete thjngs

[@cookliet8444]

Whenever I am eating , I have to watch your videos. It became a routine lol

[@mrobertson8056]

You're such an amazing builder!!

[@lifewithdq1923]
