When I start a minecraft, instead of trying to find a village or finding sheep to get wool, craft a bed to skip the night. I just dig a 1 block wide 3 block deep hole to wait out the night.

You can commit more shenanigans in bathrooms than you'd expect if you have Snowy Escape or Discover University. The smallest I've seen is 3×1 because those packs have a shower that your sim can walk through.

​@@3lli0 that's definitely the smallest one that would make sense in a real house or for a house with a family. I have what would easily be a 2×3 bathroom in real life. It's not ideal but it's functional. But it's funny to think that the true smallest is 3×1 but that requires you to ignore toddlers and pets.

The fact you are doing a build along and doing it just base game so everyone can do it is so amazing. A lot of big simmers don’t put in a lot of effort to make sure everyone feels included. They use a million different packs and don’t explain the cheats and everything. We love you Kayla! ❤❤❤

we are 10 years into sims 4. the fact that kayla still does only base game or base game + 1 pack 80% of the time is annoying. by now most simmers are exploring their options and building to tend to their creativity and sharing their tips. we should be past posting “base game build under 20k” every other week

​@abrisc32 if you find it that annoying then just go watch all the other simmers who do everything you outlined. I'm new to the sims, and as much as I love crazy expensive builds with lots different packs (which Kayla also does) because of the entertainment value, I really appreciate that there are simmers who still try to keep things simple and accesible. It makes it easier for me to get into the game. There's literally nothing wrong with having both. And like you said, MOST people aren't limiting themselves, so why complain about the few people who are? Does everyone need to approach the sims in the exact same way, or make the same kinds of content? Obviously, no. 'We should be past' - no, you and a lot of people are past it. But many people clearly aren't, hence the original comment thanking Kayla, and the many viewers who return every day. There is nothing wrong with approaching the sims in different ways. It's weird to try and get a creator to adhere to a standard you have created. Just watch someone else if you don't like it. No one is forcing you watch videos you think are boring or annoying.

@@abrisc32 I think it’s funny that you say this because lilsimsie does a good number of builds where she uses a larger number of packs/fun floor plan/creative build etc. They have SO MANY different sims creators here on KZbin and they all do different stuff. If you want some simmers who maybe do more eccentric builds I recommend CarynandConnieGaming, SydMac, and FakeGamerGirl. The Sims community is a large community. So instead of hating on lilsimsie for what she doesn’t do, find a different sims KZbinr who does what you want to see!

Since the very first The Sims, I’ve used graph paper to pre-plan my builds. In 20+ years, I have filled three graph pads, and started my fourth as of 2023. It’s fun to go back and look at forgotten, or favourite, builds.

You can translate a floorplan by dividing the size of the room by 2.5 and rounding the result. That does a fairly good job of translating real-life room sizes to sims tiles.

Another thing I found helpful for scaling is to look at what you are referencing and find either a window or a door that exists in the game that is similar to what you are trying to copy on the house. Use that as a scale reference and "count" the spacing using the window or door. I usually opt for a window. You can generally guess the size of a room based on how many "windows" fit on a wall. This works great for smaller houses, but its more complicated for larger houses because in real life windows can be all sorts of sizes and in the sims, most windows are 1 or 2 tiles (sometimes 3) so the scaling gets weirder with larger houses. But its still helpful if you want to make things as close to the picture as possible imo

It would be really cool if maybe you made this like a mini series and showed how to build different style houses. Like maybe a big Victorian house and that can also be a way to show how to use rounded/hexagonal walls since a lot of them have a spire in the front. It could also be a way to use one pack at a time i.e generations/craftsman style, vampires/Victorian, snowy escape/japanese style.

A good guide to converting IRL floor plans to TS4 (or any Sims game honestly) is to divide the measurements by 3. Tiles in the Sims are approximately 1 meter square, so that's a good rule to follow. I almost exclusively convert IRL floorplans so I'm very comfortable with the concepts. You can find some of my work on the gallery under the same username as here.

As someone who always uses floorplans too my personal tips is to use the beds. I check how many times a bed would fit in a bedroom and/or amount of space around it and base the rest of the house around the size of said bedroom. But I have done this so often nowadays I usually tweak it to my needs, a tile bigger or smaller depending on what I want to put in the room and then adjust the rest so it doesnt look out of place.

In all my years playing the game I have never built a house in Sims 4 that wasn't just a rectangle with rooms and a roof. My husband recently got into the game after watching me play it and while I was able to answer most of his questions regarding the game, I was lost when it came to building. We watched this video together, and I have to thank you for all of your tips and demonstrations. I especially appreciate the tip about looking up houses online and finding the floor plan. This past weekend, I found a house floor plan that I really liked and put your advice to use! While it is not an exact replica of the floor plan I found, the build I made is very much inspired by it. As I said before, my builds before this were kind of like a bento box in house form. But this one...I am really proud of it! It's not anything extravagant, but it is unique and looks like something that I would want to live in myself if I could afford it! Now, I just need to practice making two story houses.

You are one of the reasons I properly started building in the Sims 4. Even though you didn't do any real tutorials, you still inspired me to build. Also Console Sims4 (Xbox specifically) doesn't have some build abilities (shift clicking to move one part of the eaves is one thing that seems to not possible with controllers) unless you whip out a keyboard and mouse. I would know, that's what I play on. With keyboard & mouse it works almost identical to PC.

Thanks so much for all your ideas and showing some "how to's" - I have not played or built in Sims for quite a long time and a friend wanted for each of us to make a build (Castle inspired) and then share it with one another. She'd been an avid playing as long as I have NOT, so she was so quick! Your video gave me some layout ideas and I added a second floor. In the end, I have been building a "renovated castle". And no, I am not done, but I have made a lot of progress since I started watching your video. I will probably check out your landscaping ideas when I finish furnishing the indoors.

I like kind of hands on stuff because I'm more likely to remember it. lol. Been a very long time since I've built anything but now I know different things to do. I'd love more stuff like this.

This was SO helpful. Your streams and other videos have been helpful, too. But this long format "tutorial" is awesome. I feel a lot more confident going forward so thank you!

I just have to say...I really love you! You are not only a great simmer and YT vlogger, but you are just an allround good person. Just had to type this in this moment in time. Keep doing what you are doing and I'll keep watching.

I absolutely loved this! I struggle a lot with exteriors - roofing and landscaping, namely, and making my houses not be squares. I built along with part of it, but watched most of it without building along - trying to build along got overwhelming for me lol. But I appreciated all the tips and tricks! I'm going to have to use real-life houses and floorplans more...

In Sims 4, I built some nice 1 or 2 bedroom homes. Was based on the fact, families are having less children. Also, some of the homes were culture based. Would be interesting to see the homes I designed in reality.

I absolutely love your videos, and I love your personality. You are fresh, sweet, and you seem genuine. I found it great that you wanted to make a building tutorial for beginners, however I feel it was a little confusing for someone who's just starting to follow along. Having to pause and figure things out is a bit too complicated, I believe that's why people seek tutorials in the first place, so they won't need to do that. I think the video had a lot of positives, and I absolutely am not criticizing you in a negative way but offering you positive feedback as someone who likes to watch your videos. In the future I recommend two things: add a box on the screen for a few seconds with the keys or keywords that you're referring to so people can follow along more easily, and secondly, focus on one or two rooms with simpler shapes at a time, then slowly increase the complexity of the builds, if you wish to make How To Build/Follow Along/Beginner Tutorial videos again. All of this said, this was actually really helpful, so thank you!

You can use a half Gable for a driveway! In case you want a foundation you can use a concrete roof swatch and then mix that with terrain paint of flooring to make a sloped driveway :)

Here's me thinking, "Welp, I probably don't need a super basic beginners guide to Sims building, but It might be fun to watch." Turns out I learnt a lot. Thanks as always Kayla. Great video.

I have always downloaded houses from the gallery. I was originally a TS1 and TS2 player, I haven’t had much experience with TS4 at all really. Just a few months. I love your channel and I love this video in particular because I am absolutely useless at building, and really want to learn, and I’ve decided you are going to be my teacher - whether you want to be or not, lol 😂 I am just firing up my game and am excited to try this build. You made it look simple, but I bet it takes me hours upon hours, lol. Thank you for all the time you spend trying to help folk like myself, who are visual learners! Much appreciated. Happy New Year to you and yours 💙 Watch this space, lol 😂

I love tutorials like this. Even though I’m pretty good at building now, I didn’t used to be. But I’ve learned watching lilsimsie and James Turner mostly. But sometimes I need the roof tips and stuff! 😊

for anyone who wants to make fake garages but still use a foundation, i always use a half gabled roof piece and just lower it so it aligns w the foundation, then i use the concrete roof paint. + also i extend it into ground and use terrain paint so it looks a bit smoother. hope this helps :)
