I built a 4x4 Tiny Home

There have been so many additions that make creating a tiny home in The Sims 4 much more possible, and much better looking!

I remember watching that 4x4 tiny home video and thinking it was so revolutionary, it still is such an iconic build though! Can't believe it's been 7 years??? I feel old haha

[@eleniemmanouilidou24]

I know, right?

[@vihvaequestrian]

I'm at the point where James' vids are pure nostalgia. Been my source of sanity through school, uni, breakups, pregnancy and now in the night wakes with my baby 😅

[@blancaluna572]

me too, dang

[@AKA_Studios]

My only gripe with the Tiny Living pack is that outdoor tiles count against your house size. Having a deck doesn’t make my house any less small 😅

[@christie3288]

Right. And DONT get me started on flat roof pieces!!! WHYYYYY!

[@dandelionfieldss]

But rooftop space doesn't count even if you use it

[@christie3288]

@@dandelionfieldss the flat roof pieces do. All other roof pieces are fine, but the flat roof ones add tiles to the total count.

[@seand.g423]

I mean... doesn't add to your tile count if you just _move_ that fourth wall into place and use a temporary 1×1 to start the roof... 😁

[@andreaharthorn4327]

That whole shuffling of the kitchen area makes me wish we could chop on different surfaces.. Like we could totally have a butcher block surface item that the sims can cut on then we could place it on the mini-fridge or any table or desk, basically converting any surface to be a counter

[@johnnabither6942]

And even put it into your Sims inventory or on a shelf for when you're not using it

[@beataceylan]

Would be also great if we could place the mini firdge under counter.

[@AlexaFaie]

Dream home decorator ceramic hob can be prepared on AND you can place the oven from that pack under it using move objects. Its fully functional in game. Occasionally graphically glitches the oven door, but still functions just fine.

[@MsLucia4179]

@@beataceylan technically you can, you have to use the islands though. Just put a dishwasher in and size it down to the tiniest size then add whatever you want under the now empty looking counter-space underneath.

[@beataceylan]

@@MsLucia4179 I want to put the functional mini fridge under the counter and still use it as a fridge.

[@Chickenwing5031]

“Hey Guys, James here today!” Was so iconic

[@hfjireh]

so much nostalgia

[@mamahoffe]

It makes me instantly happy 🥹

[@ReginaTrans_]

im in shock, I didnt know he was SimSupply, that would mean I've been following James since 2013 and I didnt know !!!!!! or 2006, there was a website or forum called like that, I wonder if it was him, anyways, I did follow the KZbin channel SimSupply since 2013

[@Chickenwing5031]

@@ReginaTrans_ I’m pretty sure the website was James as well!

[@ReginaTrans_]

@@Chickenwing5031 wait, I just learned he was born in 1994, theres no way he was around the sims in the 2000s !!!!! at least not in the epic sims 2 & 1 release periods of time, the early 2000s and mid 2000s glorious days LOL, but I had a cousin from 1993 that loved to play the sims 2 with me as far as 2005 so I dont know, but he definetly did not run the SimSupply page of 2006 lol

[@LittleBitOfLife]

Hearing 2023 James say “hey guys, James here today!” has me like 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 Can we please bring this back because it gives me serotonin.

[@kaylapayne1427]

I miss this intro soooo much!

[@reynavaldez13]

yes James, bring it back!

[@zlakkuma]

I just knew his name was James because of that (obviously was sim supply)

[@Anastasia-ex6sv]

I remember watching the original tiny house videos, I thought they were the most creative and imaginative builds. They’re part of the reason I bought the tiny living pack. It crazy to think so many years have passed since then. Time flies

[@stonersiren]

we're all getting old, i mean i just realized i've been watching this dude for probably more than 10 years lmao

[@SimplicityK]

First of all, let me just say I have been waiting for this video for years and I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail! Secondly, you can place the individual stovetop on a counter and sims will still use that counter to chop things up. So you could actually do a 2-tile kitchen with the mini-fridge, oven on top of the fridge, counter, and stovetop, and it would be fully functional!

[@AlexaFaie]

Can even use the dream home decorator oven underneath the hob with move objects (it works in game just fine, sometimes glitches visually but still works). Then you could use the space on top of the mini fridge for something else, like a microwave to do all the basic meals.

[@astrealevona9197]

Similar to revisiting old builds, it would be cool to see an updated version of certain series, like the prison challenge

[@rys8406]

Yes please!! I love the prison challenge

[@himi330]

Hey, James! I am from Russia, and I just have an apartment of about 15 square meters (your house is 16). In fact, one person lives quite comfortably on such an area. In my bathroom there is a shower, toilet and washing machine, and in the hallway there is a combined hallway and kitchen. The main room has a double bed, a large wardrobe, one bookshelf and two tables - large and small. In fact, I have only three problems concerning such an apartment - I don't have enough sink size, I have nowhere to put my bike (so I have a scooter) and I put dirty clothes in the washing machine right away, not in a basket or something like that.

[@Sub-bs2nd]

[@yukil.spencer3848]

Oh I remember loving your tiny home builds, I'm so happy to see it revisited

[@baru0chan]

these tiny builds never get old! and honestly i'd love to see you revisit more of your old iconic builds!

[@fuckugplus]

New york apartment : 3000 k a month

[@ainoruoste9338]

I haven't really understood differences between microphones before. Quite an interesting comparison! The sound profile is clearly different.

[@LizzyDizzyYo]

You can have roof that looks similar if you choose one-sided sloped one and make it really low. It might even look better because it looks more angled and dynamic (you can even change the roof trim), not completely flat and boxy all around

[@olazawistowska5247]

oh my, that was so nostalgic for me to watch 🥰 I remember that 4×4 build being the one which introduced me to James' channel and wow it's been 7 years already 🙉 anyways... loved the updated version, looks much more cozy sending lots of love ❤

[@johku7638]

Same! I also realized that it's been seven years of dedicating all my gaming time to Sims 4. 😳

[@KeevasMakeup]

It’s always great seeing you go back to old builds! Your progress with building is incredible

[@SagaxArmis]

This was so much fun to watch! Classic "Sim Supply" build. I'm gonna have to try this challenge again ^_^

[@elleen9177]

I love watching the rebuilds with all the updates ~

[@artemyres]

I never new exactly why you sounded so different in the old videos but I'm very happy to know you can just recreate that voice

[@einweibmitvibes]

Back when the original video was uploaded I still played Sims 3 only and haven't been into the Sims community at all, and I remember watching it because it popped up as a recommended video and being fascinated by the building possibilities in the Sims 4 and the looks of the game and thought "I wanna build in that game too!" and then I started playing the Sims 4 and have not looked back since - oh, the memories! Also, we definitely need mini fridges that slot into counters!

[@vercafialova623]

This was one of my favorite James videos ever & one of the first I ever watched from him. It's so great to see it again, recreated. Thank you James for sharing & have an awesome day!

[@dannieandrews]

I wonder if the original 4x4 would even work now that they've updated some of the mechanics. I remember watching you build this originally, and your 3x3 and your 5x5.

[@berg_ahorn]

i think this was the first video from you that I have ever watched. So many memories. Love to see it revisited.

[@b.mischaa]

When James says (3:11) that the shower can go right by the door is a little bit weird, and me as a swede has been to apartments in stockholm which is built EXACTLY like this 🤣

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

The original video and home is SO iconic. I think this updated version will be too. It's such a good starter home idea. My first thought for under the bed was, "does the keyboard fit?" Honestly, even after tiny living & bunk beds, I still utilize iconic James Turner tiny home hacks to make shockingly tiny homes including a favorite of mine at 2x9 for a Sim & canine companion. I feel like we need a "Make tiny homes popular again" movement. XD

[@karenmcdonald8840]

To do the one tile bathroom, use the tiny living toilet, push it back to fit into one of the back quarter’s of the tile. Get the rounded pedestal sink, shrink it down one. Put it into the other back quarter. Line the university shower exactly with the faucet on the sink. Instead of a door, hang a curtain on the wall and replace that wall with a spandrel. TaDA, one tile bathroom

[@clloud5431]

I found your channel through that tiny home build! I remember watching that and having my mind blown by all the little tricks like putting the desk over the end of the bed, your tiny home builds were what really inspired me to get into building in the sims!! Its crazy to see how much has been added to the game since then.

[@lindseymercuria3971]

I remember the first 4x4 home build and thought it was so clever! The new one is even better. Still has that adorable exterior but with all the new packs, you can do so much more. Thanks for the vid!❤

[@jordanrosalie3196]

that was the first video i’d ever watched of you! i remember following the video step by step to build it myself because i didnt know the gallery existed.

[@NoDecaf7]

Your tiny home builds made me click the subscribe button. Excited for this video!

[@simekichloe]

I loved this video! I've been watching your videos since High School and I'm 25 now. You've been spitting out some more build videos last and this month and I'm here for it. Hands down one of the most entertainers builders out here, thank you for this blessing Master Chief.

[@enoemos32123]

Every Sims 4 video is “why can’t I do this” “Oh right, that was in sims (1-3)”

[@DoubleHHorse]

The dishwasher/ stove combo does work. I use it so i dont need a sink. It works well when starting a 2nd sink. Its helpful in a 100baby tinyhouse and tons of sims need a sink

[@Frenchaboo]

Wouldn't be a James Turner video without being driven insane for a solid few minutes, just use a normal stove, normal fridge and a corner counter my dude 😭 Either way, this is a very nice throwback video, I believe your 4x4 was the first video of yours I saw and what got me to subscribe, and I've been here since 2015/16 or something like that!

[@JamesTurnerYT]

The way I did it can also fit a microwave though, or coffee machine, or other appliance you want

[@darrylwhitefeather207]

Ah, I remember your tiny builds so well, they were the reason I started following you 😊 Great to see an update

[@roshinimurugesan32]

Haha that video was how I got introduced to your channel! Been a permanent subscriber since. You’ve come a long way James. Love your content.

[@seghuolog2957]

You can prepare food on the dream home decorator stove top

[@AlexaFaie]

The Dream home decorator ceramic hobs can be prepared on top of AND you can place the DHD ovens underneath too with move objects on. It is fully functioning in game and I use that combo all the time in my builds. Occasionally it graphically glitches the oven door, but it still functions with it looking a bit odd.

[@BigBadWolframio]

I cannot believe it's been 7 years. I remember this build like it was yesterday!

[@aniaaa.p]

this video fills my heart with so much happiness! thank you for all you do. and thank you for the fun little nod to thesimssupply in the beginning 😊

[@alex7227]

the old intro and mic omg nostalgic 🥹 and all that extra space though!!!!! definitely love seeing new version of old builds its really nice

[@danitho]

His old video was legit just recommended to me last night. And he put this video out today lol

[@umeinui]

So I might have saw the title in passing and started up a file to make a 4x4 tiny house. To see what I could come up with it vs what you'd make at the end and omg lmao. Yours is so amazing. My dude is in a shoebox

[@kristadwater7031]

Love the tiny builds!

[@Highgecko02]

I always take the outside sink and use that for my tiny home. Outside sink and trash are small space savers but one of the best

[@lindsayhartje6678]

I'm absolutely loving the throw back episodes. It's so nostalgic.

[@Syzygyzzz]

Ive been building a micro home in tartosa. You probably alteady know this but you can create extra outdoor area by using a staircase 6 wide. It creates a nice verandah that doesnt count towards your tile count.

[@wil554]

I also extend the roof eaves as far as possible and use terrain paint to paint a floor outside, making much of the house “open air.” This works in Oasis Springs & Sulani, since the weather doesn’t get too extreme.

[@mds424]

I loved these builds back when you first made them! I particularly remember the 6x6 one!

[@annazett3164]

I choose to believe, that James threw Semaj out of bed for this exercise. Look at him standing there in his pyjamas looking tired, grumpy and confused 😂

[@TheGrifhinx]

There's CC somewhere of a Japanese(?) toilet+sink combo which can help you with just needing one square for that and another square for the shower, making the bathroom a sharp (and neater) 2x1. You're all welcome

[@pandaman-114]

You should redo your apartment complex build! It is still one of my favorite build videos, even after 6 years, and I'd like to see how you would approach it now!

[@Myriako]

Thank you for this video! ☺🌸

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

Somehow you put more in the new version and yet it feels bigger?? crazy good tiny home skills!!!

[@s2304030]

4x4 was the first video I watched in your channel! It blown my mind, I never thought you can do all of that in the game!

[@feno.]

I've watched that 4x4 tiny house video sooo many times, your creativity blew my mind 😂 so happy to see the upgraded version of that, and it's still as gorgeous! 🥹 I really love the green wall interior and the blue wall exterior, I want that irl 🥹❤️

[@MaryGershwin]

Imagine buildig a couple of these cubicles, put them on top of each other and then renting them out in the new pack :D

[@NikkiM93]

I always love your builds :D, I often put them in my game, I might do this one too.

[@aki_anyway]

Those tiny homes videos are what made me follow you and what made me buy the Sims 4 😄

[@yesnaja]

The original 4x4 video was the firstof your videos i've ever watched, i even remember telling my mom about it because i thought it was so cool. Took me many years and multiple tries to actually watch your channel regulary, but i did found you again because of this video, since i didn't remember the channels name back then 😅

[@LunaWitcherArt]

I love how you still have the old mic and brought it out JUST for the bit. Amazing

[@riddles20102010]

Love your sims builds and R2R series ❤️ I've added so many builds from your gallery to my sims world and when I can't sleep I play your videos and I fall right asleep. Reganld from high school years is my favourite also I lost it laughing when you found the baby in the park As a fellow Aussie from W.A I say keep up the amazing content legend and cheers good sir 😎🍻👏

[@paulacarter6974]

My favourite KZbinr, building my favourite style of builds. Love the challenge. 😊

[@KatJustice97]

I weirdly think about the bathroom from the 2016 build a lot. Something about the door on a diagonal just gets into my soul. I really enjoyed the interior of the new build though!! Those Tiny Living Stuff swatches are so pleasant 🥰

[@ammpam]

The 4x4 tiny home was the 1st video I’ve watched about the sims 4 and of course it was also the 1st one I watched from James’ channel. It inspired me to play the sims 4 either.

[@Atinysw0rld_]

Your 4x4, 3x3 houses was one of the first videoes I started watching when I got into sims. I go very inspired by them so getting déjà vu right now

[@chrisbanaberry]

Omg, the original 4x4 house video was my first video from James!! It was the one that made me subscribe!!!

[@MysticEagle4]

Makes me wanna try a 2 story with the same amount of tiles maybe and see how it turns out

[@deluxeedition4639]

10:30 that desk chair is sooooooo cramped omg!

[@beancurdicecream]

can’t believe i’ve been watching you this long - those builds got me through my last 2 years of high school lol (“got me through” as in it was my procrastination material 😭)

[@Dokkyo-hs3zc]

I just wanted to say that I’m learning English from your videos and I adore English-speaking simmers, I don’t know why, but you say that everything is clear and it’s very nice, thank you

[@bobbles79]

That's the first James video I found! And then I subscribed and binge watched all of his build videos 😂 Then super sim, etc, etc....

[@doodaa1989]

Love both. The bunk bed could go above the couch. Uf u want a bassinet. Just an idea 😊

[@Tropingenie]

Really cool build, I like the interiors being the same because it kind of gives the homes a more uniform feeling like a lot of tiny/mobile homes (that I have seen) have. As in, maybe one company makes the shells/exteriors as a kit, and another company comes in and does the interiors and non-structural stuff.

[@wynnyx7071]

Try the spandrel for the space instead of a door. I do that and put a curtain. I lower the sink 1 size and toilet 1 size.

[@EmsIsFab]

that 4x4 tiny home from back in the day is literally how I found your channel - I was obsessed with seeing how tiny stuff could get in the sims but still work.

[@tibbynibby]

this was one of the videos that got me started on your vids. I liked that you didn’t show yourself and was focused on the build. 🤣 It was so clean. The towel under the sink is gonna give me nightmares 🤣🤣

[@strawsberry]

Tip for a tiny kitchen. Put a normal countertop, dream home decorator stovetop AND oven into it. Minifridge and a microwave on top of that. Sims will use the stovetop as a countertop also, so you dont need extra one. This way the kitchen can be two tiles.

[@SiimplyDejella_Lovesjesus]

I love them both- at least they're good! And the 2016 thing yelling would be nice to hear again.

[@faith8001]

That felt so nostalgic! It was the first video I saw and have been since then!

[@IzumisChild]

I haven't watched all your build videos, James, but it seems you more often than not default to a flat roof. I'd love to see you make more snow-friendly homes with raked roofs. Flat roofs don't fly in Maine. lol

[@Eekary2]

This is the video how I found the channel (according to the views I‘m propably not alone). I don‘t even play the Sims but I really like watching the building videos.

[@nyko324]

When trying to make a 1x2 kitchen in the future I think the dream home decorator stovetop also works as a prep area!!

[@Dot-Ee]

With the new "For Rent" DLC coming. You can make rows of these and have them all for rent. Maybe one on top and bottom for 2 units in a small area

[@spookeymo]

i discovered you through those tiny houses videos!!! what a journey it has been

[@noway3128]

Semaj spawning in with an 'I HATE WORK' thought bubble is very appropriate for a Sunday night upload

[@hanscapon222]

The electric stovetop from Dream Home Decorator can be used as a counter to prepare food on!!

[@Fruity-avalanche]

Love looking out my back window straight at a wall…

What would have topped the video off would be the old school outro song 😁

i would've left the bed by the door, put a couch under it with the tv where it is, and added a dinning area or perhaps an easel where the bed currently is

[@Charlee1776]

I love it! I'm surprised you didn't use a little fence to block off the bathroom and put curtain up for privacy but I still love the way you did it! (both times!)

I'm convinced this is where London landlords get their ideas from 😂

[@Mara_1337]

Wow what a throwback! I even remembered the house when I saw the thumbnail. I had a phase of watching your videos all the time and at some point yt lowkey shadowbanned you for me, even though I was subbed, so I didn't really get recs anymore and now, so many years later, I see this video pop up haha

Yeeeeaaaaah, I love your tiny homes! Look how far we've made it since seven years ago 👀 It's even aesthetically pleasing!

[@carolyncz33]

Personally when I make a 2x1 bathroom, I don’t include a sink. The kitchen is close enough that they can wash their hands there plus it saves money!

[@marieduran6286]

Is there any homes you built in the Sims 3 that you want to build in the Sims 4?

[@farahdoumet1518]

you can get rid of the end tables, move the couch to the side and add a bassinet next to the bed.😊
