building a house for every career using REAL LIFE salaries in Sims 4: Career build series ep 1

[@DoctorAshley]

The pilot episode of our new build series! Let me know if you want me to keep going 😊

[@jacquelinebernice5890]

YES!

[@Lefunbags]

Love this idea!!! ❤🎉

[@kelsieg5238]

huge fan of this concept! can’t wait to see what you come up with for other careers!

[@xjetaem]

love this!! super creative idea :) can’t wait to see what else you build!

[@kdfrancisco]

yes! doctor career next pleasee

[@MissPumpkin91]

Do a teacher's house next! I wana see the tiny abode that my low paying teaching job can get me in the sims lol

[@Nobody-sf4cv]

Definitely depends the country, in mine, Spain they get a nice salary 25K a year doesn't seem like much in other places but in mine you can get a nice apartment

[@LouzWrld13k]

4x4 but livable 🤣😭

[@Nobody-sf4cv]

@@LouzWrld13k HAHAHA yeah 😭

[@nellijumppanen961]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Nobody-sf4cvin finland teachers have like 50k annual salary

[@TheShakedGuide]

In The Sims where toilet paper costs 50 but a window 30 it isn't a factor 😂

[@dangelowalkes3054]

she said “there’s only one painting that’s going to go with this room..” and I immediately yelled THE EGG PAINTING YES! 😂

[@augusto7681]

I thought about the pancake painting.

[@fateme8103]

I couldn't believe I got it right 😂

[@kfinn4552]

This is going to be such a fun series! Something you could do to make each build less repetitive would be to add a special room for each career. For example, the chef gets the chef kitchen, an artist would have an art room, etc. That way they can be a little different each time!

[@queenpasta]

i feel like for careers with similar budgets you just need to experiment with the style or architecture to make it "suit" the career, if that makes sense? like this makes sense for a chef/mixologist with a more industrial style, but say for a teacher you'd want to make it more classic suburban or have rooms for kids, etc. i'm excited for this series!!

[@averymccluree]

i want to see a nurse!! they deserve the most comfy cozy place that’s clean & has curtains everywhere for the night shifters!!

[@cadence-2]

I’d love to see an artist’s house next, or any of the creative careers

[@hidalgo__]

There wouldn't be enough simoleons to build a bridge

[@alwaysjale]

@@hidalgo__😂😂😂

[@Yfidap]

She should wait for the artist kit pack to come out

[@cadence-2]

@@Yfidap I’m pretty sure the kits were announced the day after I first commented this 😂😭. I immediately thought of her when the kits were announced lol

[@sim771]

I think mixing up what level the career is would be good! So maybe you roll 1-10 and then whatever level you get you find that income level. Cause a level 10 actor vs a level 1 actor are vastly different. Also it would be fun to have some rentals where some (low) paying careers have units in the same building. That would make it more functional for gameplay to have multiple sims on the lot

[@francescacicognani3589]

My grandad was a chef and the salary is accurate but if you're a famous chef you can even get paid millions, it depends on fame after a certain point

[@simonedegroot905]

I'd love to see a veterinarian's house! I'm in animal care so the vet career is the closest thing to it haha, this sounds like such a fun challenge btw! And the house looks really cool

[@kebe88]

I was coming to suggest this too. Haha. Maybe add lots of pets stuff as well. Also this is a fun series idea. Excited to see more.

[@Reynallday]

What a cute series idea! Maybe you could make a trailer park for all the part time careers, since I doubt you could make a great house for how low paying those can be.

[@Annikidiary]

Or like Tiny houses

[@deltapoeta]

I love this! I wonder if for the "jobs" in the sims 4 (like barista, babysitter, etc.) you could do some kind of multi-family lot or dorm-like space or a roommate situation or something so that they are a little bit different than the "careers" in the sims 4 (NOT to say these jobs irl are any less important the other jobs, but they just function differently in the sims)

[@kennbeans]

i love THIS concept!! i’ve been a silent viewer for a long time but this is exactly the kinda thing i’ve been waiting for!

[@ste11avision]

I think it's fair to use debug landscaping when you're doing limited budget builds, personally. This is a good series idea! Excited to see more!

[@Nonchalantnerd]

I like the “curb appeal” series lol seeing you build this house reminded me of it 👌🏽

[@AmberMitchellforever21]

that’s my favorite too

[@morganunraveled]

“i don’t think a chef would be gaming, they should be reading culinary books instead” ok doctor ashley 😂

[@robawr]

omg this is such a good idea for a build series!

[@liesbethverlaeckt8083]

I love this concept! ❤ I found it funny you said a chef wouldn't play videogames, because my partner is super good at cooking and he also loves videogames 😆 That did give me the idea that perhaps to spice up the rest of this series you could add like randomised sim traits? Like a chef who's also a gamer, or a scientist who really loves kids, or a doctor who's a romantic, etc. It could add a little bit of challenge and add an extra element to differentiate the professions with similar budgets?

[@tamaracunningham21]

Great idea!!

[@sholomrabin2011]

as a chef. the metal kichen counters i would only use in a commercial kitchen, never at home.

[@AskAshleyyy]

This is a fun video concept! When you do athlete, you should do a house with roommates from different sports. For example: a bedroom for a basketball player, baseball player, etc. it would be fun to see a sports inspired build.

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

I would love to see the Criminal Career. They make so little at the beginning it's hilarious.

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

House shaped like a dumpster....

[@Ohhkimmibaby]

*Chef Kiss* love this idea for a new series. Definitely want to see a Musician (famous lots of money and a struggling artist to compare)

[@sarashalovelo6797]

Teacher should be a small family home OR teacher couples because teachers usually marry teachers. Also a writer seems so dreamy

[@lucassantiago697]

OMG. This is the best idea EVER! I really would love to see the teacher’s house.

[@jakelloyd9410]

Do them all!!! We love build challenges

[@pkc5091]

Looking forward to this build series!! Please do all the careers!!

[@fw2231]

Delightful but "incorporating the egg painting into a room of every interior design style" HAS to be a future series right? I did NOT expect it to work so well in a moody industrial bathroom, I want to see more of this magic power of yours.

[@alyssamay5774]

A fun extra challenge could be, you have to include the career unlock-able objects in each house along with the budget as the career salary.

[@JustAndreaEdna]

I build with the gallery in mind as well as playability. I want my builds to be used in regular gameplay so I imagine that the money they're using to purchase my build is earned not cheated. Not with all of my builds but most yes I aim for some sort of budget. Whether it's 20, 30, 50, 100k and so on.

[@zuumuu]

I think the planters in the back are great! My friend is a chef, and he would absolutely go feral for fresh homegrown ingredients

[@oshizu5576]

This chef's home is gorgeous! I love your idea of a career-based series restricted by the annual salary of the career concerned. The budgets and decor will vary a lot plus you are an extremely creative builder, so I don't think the series can get repetitive at all. I appreciate your mentioning which packs you are drawing items from and how you share you design decisions. All in all, a fabulous build video. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait for the next episode in this new series of yours.

[@PetraKreuzer-ct2vp]

I love your houses. I hope you can get them on the gallery! I would love to see a gardeners house next.

[@KellyMurphy-h5b]

You could make things a little more interesting with a adding mini challenges. Randomize the career, income type (Single vs dual), the number of sims, pet or no pet. Maybe it’s a single parent of 2 kids, maybe their your traditional single income but 2 adults and 1-3 kids, maybe their DINKWADs (Dual income, no kids, with a dog)? It would be cool to see what you could do with your budget! Loved the episode! Can’t wait for more. 🥰

[@deandraaustin8893]

Such a genius series idea I would have never came up with that alone! Would love to see the interior designer career with a maximalist style interior ❤

[@mylinhtran2824]

So excited for this series! Love all your builds. Please do barista, librarian or nurse!

[@oAmericanSweethearto]

I love this! The bathroom speaks to my soul. I can't wait to see the rest of the series.

[@sabrinangwira2099]

I love this concept. I would love to see anything honestly 😂. I’m a feline only veterinarian so would love to see your perspective of a vet’s house 😁. I personally have 4 cats and the my house has a lot of cat stuff. Salary depends on where you live honestly. But can be between 100-200k-ish but if you own your own practice or you specialize obvious more up to 280k~

[@Brocka75]

I love this new series❤ The house turned out really nice! I’d love to see a home in Sulani for the conservation career😇

[@Pelin_er]

I really love watching your videos. This is such a nice idea too! Thanks for all your efforts to create such fun videos for us ❤

[@Pelin_er]

Can't lie I hate the egg painting tho lol

[@InvaderTee]

I would love to see this as a series with all the careers

[@tiffanycoursey5874]

Love this new series. Can not wait to see more. Many jobs may have similar income, but I think you will suprise us with different looking homes.

[@shadowkenku]

i’m so excited for this series. i definitely think you should do teacher next!!

[@az25blue]

Such a fun idea for a build series!

[@Henrique96Alves]

I absolutely loved this idea! Very creative! I'm subscribing right now to your channel

[@DoctorAshley]

Yay! Thank you!

[@TessaundraYT]

I love this build so much! I love the paneled walls from Eco Lifestyle and I use them in almost every build. I love the aesthetic of the house

[@meeshwood918]

I love this series. I hope you will continue it with every career. You could add variety to the similar budget homes by having homes for sims with families or varying sizes.

[@elisesdiary.]

That is so cool! You could also build a house for two married working people living together and working with a budget of two! Such as a couple where one person is a lawyer and the other one a police officer, and so on. I think this could also be a nice idea! Love ur builds ❤

[@Lily-bb5xz]

Such an interesting series. I’m seated!

[@damattice23]

I’m a marriage and family therapist, self employed (so I don’t have to see 10 clients a day to money in a bosses pocket). I have a masters degree, a license, and make around 60k a year. But after taxes and expenses, my take home is $500-600 a week. Crazy when mental health is so needed in our country. AND every insurance company that covers me, pays less than my out of pocket fee. AND I specialize in working with couples and families (obviously) and an individual session gets higher reimbursement than a couple or family. AND NO, each person isn’t billed- just one person the case is under. Hope this is inspiring!

[@Itsintheway23]

Insurance companies are insane to me! They take our money and invest it. Make a ton of profits and then refuse to pay for services that we pay for. So they're making even more money since they pay so much less than the out of pocket costs. It's just mind boggling to me

[@cosmiccookie9083]

Marriage counseling doesn't fall under the same coding that mental health for someone with bipolar, or drug addiction does.

[@Itsintheway23]

@cosmiccookie9083 I'm not sure that changes how insurance companies pay out though. Maybe depending on the insurance company themselves but I work in the optical field and insurance companies pay us usually well under 50% of standard pricing. I had a friend who worked as a pharmacy tech and she said some insurance companies don't pay their balances at all for medication. I feel pretty comfortable saying across the board, insurance companies do not pay put the amounts they are supposed to. They pocket the difference and use that on top of their members' premiums to invest it and make profits for themselves. The more they can cut corners in payouts the more overall profits they take home.

[@macenziepeterson2601]

I think this is a really great idea. Doing builds for sims who just work the part times jobs would be great to see.

[@morganunraveled]

you have suuuch an eye for design and detail, this build was so cozy & i reallly love the concept for this series!💛

[@KaraN-ug9lt]

Yes!!! I love these series... hope we get a mixure of this and the apartments in every world (till that one is finished)

[@ashleyrossini9450]

would love to see you do a house for the president! doesn't have to be the White House, it could be Camp David or a vacation home!

[@mismiserables]

I love your build series, can't wait for the rest of it. Also I hope you do builds for the part time jobs. I'd love to see one for the fast food worker.

[@StephyJean]

Your series builds are some of the best I've seen!! Absolutely so excited for this new series! Adore your builds!

[@RileyPerkins-ji1nn]

I love this idea for a series! And I loved this house! Some interesting build ideas for different jobs could be like a nursery, an astronaut, and artist, maybe even construction worker? This is a fun concept

[@ksailor71]

I would love a scientist house. I am loving this series. Great job.

[@MissMillo]

I love this and I can’t wait to see the rest of the careers in game! You could even do houses for careers you’d want to see in the sims 😊 Loved this! 💕

[@ShaneshaS]

5:33 I love grabbing the round square tool :D Nice video, I like the concept

[@maxsaboofpiu]

How about picking a country or aesthetic or adjective based on the initial of the occupation? For example, Chef can be Cute Chef, Chaotic Chef, or Canadian Chef.

[@BrittanyySierraa]

I absolutely LOVE this series already! I CANNOT wait for the next one!! 😍

[@user-yk3fu6rf6e]

My god it’s such a good idea Keep them coming ~

[@m66di]

This was actually the first original sims ideal I seen I like good job. 👍🏾

[@Jesswatchtheseries]

Loved the build! And so excited for the series! 💜

[@Maria_2950]

I like this series idea I think it works and it won’t get repetitive imho cause it’s different careers regardless of the budget

[@jamandgreentea]

Your video ideas are always so good!!

This build idea sounds so fun! I’m so excited for the next video!

[@MotherofSims]

This is such a great idea! Looking forward to the series!

house for a super model. go crazy on the closet.

[@treetreem]

This video showed up as a suggestion, I had never seen your videos before, but I'm glad it did because this is great!

[@lauren_sunshine]

Great build! I hadn’t realized how long it had been since you’d done a classic Doctor Ashley house. As soon as you brought out the Dine Out brick in the kitchen, i was like yep that’s Ash 😄

[@gracenope2446]

this is so creative! i am so excited for this series 🥰

[@joleenreiners4190]

Love this series. Such a beautiful home. Maybe detective next.

[@TDawg567]

I literally thought you were going to say "Chefs Kiss" when adding the breakfast painting in the bathroom

[@rebesim]

5:33 Yep, that's definitely a square and totally not a circle 😂 Also, the stuff in the backyard is actually from Perfect Patio Stuff, not Backyard Stuff

[@s.v.525]

I just stumbled on your channel and I ADORE your build style! You make the homes look so complete and as someone who can't build, that's super impressive! ❤

[@TheMissjayelle]

Please make this a series! I love this idea!

[@jeanjacket884]

Snapped girl ! ❤️ back & better !

[@chelseypsg1067]

this is going to be a great series you should probably try and do like one career that’s got a really good budget then the next video a smaller budget and have a rotation maybe(like gardener or teacher next) . just an idea i’ll be watching either way

[@laurenkeller2644]

That’s awesome!! Please post more often ✨🥰

[@romanticghost7508]

I’d love to see a therapists home/psychologists home. That’s the career field I’m currently working towards!

this was such a good idea!!!! so excited for this series you should do teacher next/soon!!! 🤍

[@lovedearronmis]

Love the idea of this! Was really fun to watch. Do the teaching career next

[@LoxiVT]

cute ideal! love the video! i think the things you get in the career path should have their amounts not subtracted from your budget since the sim gets them for free 🤗🤗

[@deliastan1159]

Loved this build and such a cool idea! I have to say though, I can definitely tell you don't know any chefs hahaha. Most chefs get home and don't want to cook anymore or even think about food after work lol

I love this series! I don't really mind what you go for next but I think police career will be interesting ahhaha

[@danielecampbell7850]

I like this idea. I hope it's OK if I borrow it. Lol! I think if you keep it to the Sims careers and real-life salaries, it should not be too repetitive. Especially if you keep making sections of the house to be specifically for that career. Keep up the good work!
