How To Build A House in The Sims 4

Also, knowing the minimum room sizes helps. A bathroom fits in a 2×3, a double bed fits in a 4×4, a living room 5×6 etc.

[@lumindoesvideos]

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]

@@lumindoesvideos oh yes. I was saying 2×3 for a family house. Bathtub/shower combo, sink and toilet

[@lumindoesvideos]

​@@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.

[@NikeviaPlays]

Wow this is a great tip. Thank you.

[@3lli0]

@nikeviaplays welcome

[@kelsidysinger7667]

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! ❤❤❤

[@abrisc32]

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

[@Lisa_Flowers]

​@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]

@@Lisa_Flowers you spent way too much time on this response lol

[@maddsfirm]

@@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!

[@kelsidysinger7667]

@@abrisc32 packs are expensive and not everyone has the luxury of owning every single pack. Kayla has plenty of builds that use multiple packs and honestly doesn’t have that many that are just base game. If you don’t like it go watch other simmers. Sorry she’s trying to be inclusive for everyone

[@miechellew.706]

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.

[@brittbrat81591]

As an art kid this makes my soul happy 💙

[@scottydog6713]

oh man, im wishing i did this back during sims 3 when you couldnt adjust the foundation after you put the room down. so many hours wasted writing down room sizes before bulldozing the whole build and re-placing everything WITH foundations.

[@Sorkabeth]

Your "builder's bible" series made such a big difference when I was just learning. And my daughter, who is 10, says "build a box, then make it fancy" all the time!

[@sarcasticsuperjerk18]

Just wanted to say that it’s so sweet that you got your daughter in on it, I got introduced to it through my sim-loving parents too!

[@Faolyn]

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.

[@boobunnylovesyou]

Literally screenshotted this comment to use for future builds 😅

[@inkygreen]

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

[@Faolyn]

Yeah, I do that a lot as well. Counting kitchen counters and appliances is also helpful as well, since they're basically 1:1.

[@char1211]

OMG THANK YOU!!! This will be so useful to know for my future builds🙏

[@kibotenshii124]

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.

[@jensencaldwell5101]

oooo yes this is a great idea

[@lorindamcaliece9435]

[@wow2926]

I've just now gotten into building in this game! I've been making different saves, one where I renovate every lot, one where I build every lot myself, etc. Wonderful timing

[@myrandamiller91]

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.

[@DarkPrincessAly]

Another good tip is starting by building the obvious rooms like the 2x3 bathrooms. When you have those as reference, building the rooms around them becomes easier when calculations are wonky.

[@lady_apocalypse178]

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.

[@avakinceli875]

Toturial for the Playstation: Cheat window: press L1+R1+L2+R2 To free place: press L2 like 3 or 4 times For free rotate: press L1+R1 To make somthing bigger or smaler: press L2+R2 and press the arrow keys on the left side for smaler and the right side for bigger To make somthing to level down or high: open the cheat window and close it again and then press the arrow keys up and down (sometimes it works and sometimes not ) Hope u can understand i can help u have a nice day 💜

[@natatatt]

This was super helpful, particularly in the spots where you added character to the home by adding bump ins inside and bump outs outside, as well as the roof and corner trim additions. That is where I tend to struggle the most - my builds lack character and look a bit boxy/plain.

[@oshinsims]

Thank you for saving my shoe box builds Kayla 💕

[@erinw.9256]

Today I started making a retirement home and I impressed myself cos I just randomly put down rooms and it looks kinda halfway decent!! I knew I wanted a courtyard or some garden space and then of course the kitchen, community room for coffee and board games, and a lobby.

[@TheeShifty]

I hope this gives me more motivation to get back into building

[@KokoroSpice]

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.

[@guenslydesir]

You can add a chimney too, to break up roofs. It's less fiddly than separate roof pieces

Absolutely LOVED this. I always have issues with roof placement. The way you did this like a build together was perfect. The pace and how you showed us how to follow the floor plan was very helpful. You definitely have to do more of these. I followed along and made the house with my own touches. I'll be uploading as soon as I decorate the inside. Thanks!

[@JuniJangChristensen]

This genuinely helped me (: And I only have the base game, get to work and cats and dogs so I would love to see builds using those packs❤️

[@lumindoesvideos]

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.

[@TSOrr]

Ive been playing the sims for 24 years. Im not a builder, im a CAS + gameplay simmer. You've taught me sooo much when it comes to building and Ioften refer to your videos when I get frustrated. Thank you for teaching this old dog (almost 36) new tricks.

[@torimckinley9917]

This was hands down one of my top 3 favorite videos. Incredibly helpful. So easy to follow it makes the building process feel SO manageable. And the amount of ideas you gave makes it easy to practice the same shell multiple times so you don’t have to think of something original every single time!! And you’re very an encouraging and thoughtful teacher. Like I can not say enough good things about this. Thank you!! Please make more! You are the reason I have manage to overcome the overwhelm of building and grown as a player ❤

[@sarah62137]

Another tip I use is to create more formal flower borders place a semi circle rug, place various size rocks around the edge, delete the rug then add plants and flowers.

[@yannysilva6928]

I just wanted to say that I'd loved seeing someone post a tutorial on how to build on the sims when I was a beginner.

For anyone on console who wants to use cheats or size up or down. Press then release all four shoulder buttons at the same time to open the cheats bar. For sizing up and/or down; press down all four shoulder buttons and hold them, then press the up and down arrows for rising and lowering items. Same thing for sizing up and down things, but this time you use the left and right buttons. The left makes things smaller, and right makes things larger. USE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO HELP YOU!!

[@krissykri]

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.

Since I built step by step, it took more than a day to get through the video but I wanted to build as I watched so I could go along.

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 :)

[@mystic-malevolence]

The corners of the siding with trim do place consistently. The placement is not a problem once you understand it and adjust accordingly. Primarily, the trim cannot be placed on 1-tile walls, and thus will not be placed on 1-tile deep bumpouts. This is where Simsie has trouble with it, but a house can still look good if the bumpouts are restricted to 2 tile walls, or if a different wall paint is used on the bumpout, or if that bumpout simply doesn't have trimmed corners.

Actually useful and did learn some tricks about roofing, creating a nice porch roof, and dorms even.

[@undetestable1]

There is a flat foundation that you can shift place where you want your garage door if you put your house up on foundation so it still makes visual sense. the rest of the house can still have whatever foundation you want. If you have islant living you can also create on open by deleting the walls where the garage door would be and extending the ground above in a square above it. Size down the floor windows (the ones meant to create skylights) and palce them near the base open "door" so it looks like an open garage door.
