tbh I would love to watch a whole series of you renovating every lot in every world. I know that's a lot, so you probably won't, I'd just enjoy watching it lol. Just renovating all of Willow Creek would be fun. Maybe taking a break to do other series for a bit, then doing the same in Oasis Springs? Since of all the worlds the basegame ones need the most renovating and the more recent worlds are blessedly much better.

I guess you could say… That’s a lot of lots of

I fix every lot and sim in the game...

When Satch said he didn't know why people put bookshelves in their builds, I'm just like 👀. 😂 I literally use bookshelves in every single build I use because it's like a "just in case" scenario because bookshelves have multiple uses for my Sims. I also don't decorate the walls with decorations in my builds because I force my Sims to either paint or take pictures and fill the walls with those as decorations. I also decorate the exterior with plants and planters just because I use gardening as another income anyway, so why not just decorate with those. I don't think Satch would like my builds as much😂.

I really enjoyed watching this. I get a little bit tired of watching the grand, fantastic renovations - somehow this more realistic and cheap renovation was a lot more satisfying. It actually made me feel like logging into game and play! Which I haven't done for a month or so. Thank you, proud Pansy - you are well appreciated and entitled to be proud!😝

This is everyone's first house

[@Kualinar]

My first ever house in The Sims4 was not even in Willow Creek. I don't remember exactly where it was located, but it was a monstrosity for 8 Sims built on a big empty lot... Ground floor was the open kitchen/dining room/living room/toilets. Upstairs was the gigantic bedroom. There where zero inner walls.

[@staciii]

Not with cheats 😂

[@Relic58]

Mine was Raffia Quinta because I was using my sister's copy of the Sims 4 back then before I got mine and despite wanting to play on willow creek, every single house there is occupied, and the only unoccupied housing lot for a starter house are the ones in oasis springs: an empty lot and that lot. And I don't know how the build mode worked yet so I obviously picked Raffia Quinta. That was way back before Newcrest was a world.

[@Lau-d9q]

In my save it's now a cozy blue two story house with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath😊

[@trafalgarlaw4168]

Crazy right 😂

[@rhoyaly_loved825]

Those houses are inspired by the “shotgun” houses in New Orleans. In fact, Willow Creek was modeled after the city. Especially if you read the descriptions of the towns.

[@Dangernoodles93]

I have a terrible hangover and I’m v v glad I have a Satch video to watch!!!

[@saraght3188]

More renovations plzzzzzz

[@NicolesBookishNook]

I bulldozed all the bad houses and I either built houses or downloaded ones from the gallery because I couldn't deal with the ugliness 😂 But now Willow Creek looks lovely.

[@Stowaway_Scallywag]

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I put on this series to fall asleep to. Your voice is just so calm and sweet, plus the visuals aren't overly complicated or crazy and the builds always come out pretty. Keep up the great work!

[@Christine-49]

I love doing renos. It has helped me to be a better builder. I do the outsides as well as the insides. I have turned this entire neighborhood into an area for occult Sims to live. All the houses have been done in black, white and gray and then a few color accents. I try not to make too many changes to the actual structure, at least to the outside, but then will add stuff like spandrels, porches, etc. I think if you want to become a better builder, doing this and watching videos is your best bet!

[@jai07070]

Good ideas and great job fixing this horrendous lot! Thanks for adding it to the gallery!

[@kirasimmie9790]

you inspire me to build another home or renovate.. im a bit off on playing sims 4 these past few months but watching this makes it more enjoyable and also gathering ideas lol

[@mikeycjdean707]

I like the side extension and using a different exterior wallpaper 😊. I always add a wall to enclose the main bedroom too. Very odd why it’s left open! 😮

[@NikkiiTheDon]

I love adding bookshelves which is crazy cause I don’t even have one in real life 😂 & don’t want one 🤣

[@TheTiniestTina]

"its called proud pansy, just like me!" Bahaha me too satch

[@Anonymous-mp5mt]

That was annoying me yesterday with that exact fence with no tall gates I ended up not using a gate 😂

[@FriedFreezer]

Omg that yellow and red is so horrible 😂😂😂😂

[@Slayergirl3536]

Great build/renovation satch!❤ lot of us who don't landscape outside because its hard and don't know what to do, maybe show us in a future video?

[@surethabadenhorst]

The crazy kids bedroom takes me back to TS1 ❤

[@Kualinar]

It's not that peoples want a book shelve, but more like it's a necessary thing. Also, having a computer, even the cheapest/crappiest one, is also a requirement for any Sim's house. Use some *debug* stuff. They are essentially free.

[@BrunoGeneva]

If you delete the "side" of the stairs you'll get a few hundred simoleons back, always useful in a budget build. Just a some lavander on each side to hide the "holes" underneath.

[@itsbrusantana]

I really would appreciate keeping the horrendous rectangle form because it is a version of sims 3 starter home trailer house, and remind me with the poor sim having the challenge of starting with this home 💗

[@mya1207]

I think people add bookshelves in their homes in the sims mainly for gameplay, reading books is good for leveling up some skills. That's at least why I always do it and why someone like James Turner does. But I have some cc bookshelves that can be entire bookshelves with one book item or magazine or something decorative.

[@koololdster]

Love this, Satch! I think it actually looks more realistic than some (KZbinrs we shall not mention) that fancy things up a bit too much. I will definitely use some of your ideas for my starter homes. Thanks!

[@jillianb8992]

I've added in your renovated bff trailer park and moved everyone's favourite sisters in with the bff's. Keep up these great builds/renos :D

[@kitkatt24]

Wow. Keep going with these starter lots. You inspired me to this with my starter lot.

[@steggopotamus]

I agree about most people not doing the outsides much. I uploaded an unfinished burners and builders reno, and it did much better on the downloads and likes than I expected. (It didn't have terrain paint, and the landscaping was just me brainstorming.) When I looked at all the other builds near it, I had done a LOT more work to make it interesting. (Rotated the lot, added interesting ceiling details, attempted to pick an energized color palette etc) And I uploaded it unfinished because I am using my own "oasis springs gym" that build out of frustration/inspiration from messing with it. But I feel like stuff is a little safer it I save it to the gallery? That might be foolish thinking.

[@hopewhitten5937]

i rly like this series satch!! your way of renovating it is rly good compared to just changing the whole lot completely

[@onebraincellleft2563]

Can always count on you to post when I’m eating breakfast 😃🇺🇸

[@pumpkinbananas2983]

That was a great idea for the realism rental lots, let me try to live in a house without changing ANYTHING 🤣 Also, for extra realism you wouldn't be able to sell any old furniture, instead store it in a basement or attic 🥰

I love ur vibe so much lol

[@BrokenDollyTV]

At first, I got annoyed with the drab builds in game. But after realizing I love to renovate (not build from scratch), I try to see the default builds like they made them crappy so we can upgrade them as we play and progress the households. Still... they are a true eye sore. Very uninsinspired.

[@_.trish._]

Same here. Love decorating and not building - sans maybe an extension or reconfiguring some walls - so I love taking these milquetoast builds and changing them up. They're so boring, they're sitting there asking for it lol

[@squeakwoofanime3727]

Glad to know I'm not the only person who always puts tissues next to my sim's bed...

[@pyzucha76]

I could watch these for hours

[@jadedjhypsi]

Would LOVE to see this kind of reno as a series =) I also do the same thing in my saves. I tend to redo the existing, have a very cool one in the gallery that I did for the Tinker´s under ID 2geeksinapod

[@pia_879]

I love fixing this lot 😂

[@Therealissa98]

Great build

[@evieanne407]

I’m never this early lol. Thank you for the inspo!

I ALWAYS update this lot and add a basement!

[@lennyattew734]

The windows not being level annoyed me more than it should’ve

[@bcray2548]

This house is cursed. I hate that it's the only nice one I can afford whenever I have a family... that says a lot about the other builds

[@Lizzy_Gaymer]

I'm currently on my very first family with eight people, and decided to try and squeeze eight people inside of it. For the record... I don't recommend doing what I did.

[@Lizzy_Gaymer]

By it I meant the base game starter home, I forgot to mention that, oops

[@daytonapeanut]

Ah yes, Crack Cabana, lol

[@III_SNIPE_III]

It looks great! 👏👍

[@lesanimaux4416]

EA's rule seems to be "make every EA build as basic as possible" and sure, I see a fair share of wildly, overly decorated houses on the gallery that give me a headache and are borderline unplayable, but this is minimal to the extreme. The layouts make no sense, there is zero decoration and the bedroom always has the same bed, nightstand, lamp and dresser. I recently decorated a house with basegame items only, and it turned out fine (except it was an AI generated floorplan, so you enter the house through the master bedroom and make your way through every room downstairs, including two bathrooms and the dining room, to get to the stairs that finally at some point lead you into the upstairs kitchen. Also the second floor balcony has a door in the surrounding fence. Lovely)

[@kiku_ki]

i always put tissues on the nightstand.... 🌚🌚🌚

[@TheNathanielPatterson]

I hate Crick Cabana. Every time I start a new game with this lot, my Sim acts like they can’t get inside to do things (like cook or use the toilet) I end up bulldozing it and placing another copy of Crick Cabana down to make it functional again.

[@Oak_theory]

One house doesnt have a roof in the bathroom

[@adammuniz6614]

oh no please don't be mean to my favourite house in the game!

[@karebear3152]

lol the legacy of builders forgetting to put an indoor trash can in their builds continues. Your wall colors confuse me a bit, Satch, but otherwise this looks pretty good. 👍

[@dsmbear]

By the way, i wonder what Siniece thinks of this house?
