I have absolutely seen long skinny bathrooms, and honestly find them really useful in the Sims when all you want is a half-bath.

[@katbairwell]

Yep! My parents have one in their (modified) 1930's house, and we have one in our 2015 new build. An old friend of mine had one in their 1600s farmhouse, so I guess they are pretty common in the UK!

[@Yumi_Jay]

My grandmother's downstairs bathroom is a 2 or 3 by 1 bathroom. The toilet faces the sink with door in middle.

[@shyflyer]

I have too. The house I'm living in now has pretty much a 2x2 bathroom but the one wall is on an angle. It sucks lop

[@oliver_1537]

Yes my old house had one with a shower one like the one in descover university

[@Rabellaka.]

Our old house had one between the kitchen and outer wall. Probably closer to 2X1, if you could have the sink and door on the same tile.

About the money thing, what I've been doing is going to a brand new plot for each generation and having "inheritance money" split between siblings. Plus I play it long and do university for all and have this mod that makes tuition fees expensive and allowing for the loans to just RACK UP. Really helps make it go from riches to rags to riches real quick.

Let me add to the skinny bathroom debate: my friend who lives in a very old apartment in the city has such a ridiculously long and skinny bathroom, I had to laugh for the first time I saw it. It's literally 1 meter wide and 5 meters long with a toilet and a sink at the very end of it. It's so ridiculous, imagine building that in the sims 😂

[@Eventide215]

We call them "half baths" here in the US because they're "half" a bathroom. People call them "powder rooms" when they're trying to be fancy about it.. lol. It's really meant to be called a restroom. I'd say they only became common in the past like 25 years. Until then it was common to just have like one bathroom.. maybe two. Now it's common to have about 1 bathroom for each bedroom plus an extra half-bath for guests and convenience.

You came in on the skinny side on the left and all furniture was on the right along the wall in the following order: small washing maschine, small high shelf, bathtub, sink, toilet. Big window on the small back wall. I loved it. I could see out the window when I was in the tub.

I actually really like the idea of a bunch of glass doors leading out into the patio/backyard. If you're entertaining a lot it could keep things from bottlenecking when food and people are going outside and/or trying to get back inside to clean up or get out of the rain. Or if you kept them all open it would sort of extend the entertaining space between the house and the patio.

[@laurengumdrops7155]

Okay.. but we just had our kitchen done and they actually started putting in the wrong floor tiles!! Not only that but they had half the wrong tiles and half the correct tiles. We went back to the store it was purchased from as the fault was from their end and they didn't have any more of the original tiles we ordered!! Luckily.. the floor tiles that were not the ones we ordered did fit in well! Also... after the kitchen fitters were finished, I drilled into the wall to put up a shelf and only drilled into a wire.. blew our electrics entirely and gave myself a bad electric shock!

This is why you always drill into a stud in the wall. Especially so when you're hanging something heavy.

A narrow rectangular bathroom isn’t weird at all. You should have seen the tiny full bathroom I used at my second bedsit, because that was not only long and narrow, but also a weird shape. The door was on a diagonal, and it was kind of like it would fit inside a 5x2 rectangle, but the top right and bottom left 2x1 rectangles were removed, as well as half of the left middle tile. It had a toilet, a sink, a washing machine and a shower.

Lilsimsie you really inspire me with how good you build and it makes me so happy that there are good houses out there that are basegame I always think that since my house is base game it’s really bad but when you build good houses with base game it makes me super happy

[@ToontownAndCpenguin]

It's funny, you're talking about what's available in the base game & my mind went back to base game for the Sims 2 & how that worked out great for me but then I remembered, only reason why it did is because I downloaded so much custom content. I bought the Sims 2 when it first released which was something I was so proud of at the time, I was born in September & held back a year so when the game released, I was 13 & all the kids in my grade level were 11 & 12 years old. My parents actually got me the first Sims game as a present for my 12th birthday since my friend who was pretty much the same age as me, we met before I was held back, had the Sims so I got to play it when I was 11 but it varies from parent to parent. Anyways, I bragged so much at school that I got to play the Sims 2, I was so mean back then, lots of kids were like "no fair, my parents won't let me play it!" Wow, I got way off track. Point is because I got it when it released, there were no expansions yet & this is coming off of my experience playing the first Sims game & in the first one I had Unleashed, Night Life, Vacations, Living Large, Making Magic, & I think more but I don't exactly remember, I do still have the cases somewhere in storage so I could probably check it out one day. It was going back to basics & I think since so much had changed like the babies actually grew up & you could do more to customize your sims & stuff, I was too distracted by the fact all there was was the base game. My friend however discovered that over on the Sims 2 website, people uploaded their own content that you could download & she showed off some builds she did with it & I was extremely jealous so she showed me how to do it & wow, I downloaded so many crazy things, I even got a social bunny costume for my sims. Once Pets was released, I did buy that but I didn't get any other expansions because I felt like I didn't need them. Currently, things have changed so dang much, I actually hardly touched 3 & 4, I bought both when they were brand new but I always found myself going back to the Sims 2 & had a hard time adjusting to the newer games. I want to get back into it since I had so much fun with the older games & seeing a build with just the base game makes me happy, like all the stuff you can get with the expansions & other stuff is super cool, I probably will purchase some of it, but like I also remember that I had a blast playing the Sims 2 without expansions, you can say I heavily cheated but at the time, there wasn't any to add on so what do you expect? Dang, if I still have all the discs from the Sims 1, I should probably see if I can actually download it onto a current computer & get so ticked with the game that I end up murdering babies again, the fact that they don't grow up makes you never want to have babies in that game I swear. I know my discs for the Sims 2 doesn't work, I tried installing them onto another computer years later, this was a different time so I wonder if stuff I did to the game back then ended up ruining it. I bought a copy from the same era as mine from Goodwill for $5 since mine wasn't working & that downloaded with no issue, I played it for a while again & when my former roommate & I parted ways, I let her keep it because it was $5 & I didn't mind parting ways with it, this was actually sometime after the 4th game released because our lease ended early 2015 & I got the 4th game as a birthday present back in September 2014 so I wasn't even playing 2 much at all anymore, I still went back to it because the 4th one was confusing for me but it's like, I have the new game so my roommate can have the old one.

[@andreamyob9458]

I finished the challenge not very long ago. I got rid of my excess money by building new homes for all the kids. Most of my generations started with very little money. They did have the sim ray though. My Mint gen passed it down as a family heirloom and it featured in every generation. If things got really tight, they could always buy really cheap furniture and transform it into expensive stuff. Also I learned the 3x1 bathroom trick from this channel and I use it (including University shower) in almost every small home build.

I lived in a house with a powder room under the stairs. It was long and skinny and only fit a toilet and sink. But in order to stand in front of the sink the slanted part of the staircase was over the toilet.

I had never really seen a super long skinny bathroom before until my dad moved into a town house that has a bathroom with the exact size and layout as the one in this house.

I played the Not So Berry challenge last year. I had tried to do a legacy challenge a time or two and kept getting bored because my autistic self kept going for the same traits, aspirations, and jobs over and over, so I found the parameters extremely helpful. It took me from about ready to give up on the game period to being inspired to write a challenge myself in a similar style but differently themed. Now I'm working on a second one. 🙃

[@darkempress410]

My mother-in-law's house has a big entryway/mud room/laundry room that has a long skinny 1/2 bathroom attached to it. It's very handy if you need to pee real quick while unloading groceries or when you're leaving the house. I've 100% seen long skinny bathrooms.

[@TheMissileHappy]

I've just started my Not so Berry Challenge and my mint sim lives in a modern house on the island in Windenburg. It took me so long to build the house, but I'm proud of it, since I'm not a builder. My gen 2 sim has just been born and is a pink alien :D

[@dbseamz]

My aunt's house has a half-bath (some floorplans call it a "powder room", it has a sink, mirror, and toilet only) that would probably be 2 by 1 Sims tiles. It's kind of under the stairs, but I don't remember it having a sloping ceiling like most under-stairs spaces do...then again I haven't been there in 5 years so maybe there is one and I've just forgotten. Edit: As for the other "controversial" build choice you made, I will say that I lived in a condo once that had three separate sliding glass doors in the living/dining area...and no other windows downstairs except in the downstairs bedroom and the little transoms above said sliding glass doors. And then ANOTHER sliding glass door from the basement that let out under the deck. And a FIFTH in the master bedroom that led to a tiny balcony, which was also the only windows in that room except for a skylight or two. The three on the main floor weren't all next to each other like the ones in this build are, but having multiple sliding glass doors in one room is definitely not unheard of.

My in-laws also live in a sort of townhouse style house, in Portugal, and yes... They have a long a skinny bathroom, it would be 2x1 in the sims. The door in not on the side tho, it's like in the "front". You walk in the sink with a cabinet on your right and in front, up against the wall, you have the toilet.

Oh and I always play my Sims game like simoleons is directly equivalent to pounds and so build my houses to the prices which fit with real world houses here. Except the houses in the sims come with the furniture in them whereas real life you get empty rooms apart from the kitchen and bathroom maybe. So like when we move house, in our area what we're looking for (3 bed house) in decent repair is around the £350,000 mark. So that's the kind of price I might build a 3 bed house for. And then I just use free real estate to move people in because that's basically just them getting a mortgage in my mind and makes the weekly bills seem a little more reasonable as they're usually so high otherwise (if converted one to one to pounds then they're more like a month's worth of bills not a week).

yea, long skinny bathrooms are super normal, especially when they're half baths. i live in a 4 bedroom 2 and a half bathroom house and our downstairs half bathroom is very small, not really long but definitely small :)

I would love a second part of the Not so berry challenge with new Goals and aspirations! 😍

[@rinko5438]

I feel like it would be super cool if simsie made a not so berry but ”base game edition” ive personally played through the og not so berry but id really love to see it being able for everyone :D

[@tragicsimmer]

I'm playing a base game version of not so berry and it's totally doable and fun so I appreciate you doing the house base game for the people who want to play with it ❤

[@verostreltsova411]

About bathrooms. In my country it is pretty common to have bathroom with a shower, a bathtub and sink in one room and toilet with/without sink in the other. So it is not weird to have small skinny bathrooms I guess :)

[@emeliekullman4623]

I'm playing the NSB challenge right now and it's so much fun! I love playing with different parts of the game that I don't usually go for, and I'm becoming soooo invested in these sims! I play in the simsie save so your self sim kind of inserted themself into the founder's life 😀

[@reynavaldez13]

well in polish apartment building it's very common to have separate bathroom (shower and/or bathtub, sink and washing mashine), and separate toilet - I mean only toilet and it's teeny tiny, litterally a square size just to fit toilet. So... I really don't mind three tile bathrooms in Sims:D

[@beerichards6521]

The 3x1 style downstairs bathroom with the toilet at one end and a sink at the other end and a small place in between to stand is super common in the UK. I have one in my house so it didn’t seem weird to me at all for you to put one in this build

[@Yoruake89]

Long, skinny bathroooms are a thing. Just a toilet and a sink. It's the restroom for guests most of the time.

[@imalwayspanicking]

The house I currently live in has a long skinny bathroom as well! Definitely think it’s a normal thing since many of houses I’ve been to typically have one. Not always, but a lot of them do.

[@kattystock]

I'm on the Pink gen of not so berry. It's pretty fun. I did take some liberties and change the challenge a bit and I extended the extended version so I'm looking forward to many more gens. Very fun challenge.

[@mutephoxart]

So when I was a kid a few family members and friends were rich and I found in their houses, they'd have long skinny bathrooms like that. It was a half bath with a toilet and a sink and specifically on the main floor for guests. While their larger bathroom(s) with showers or tubs would be in guest room, upstairs, in bedrooms, or in basements even if the basement was set up as another guest over night area. But like they didn't have normal full bathrooms on the main floor usually.

[@sienabencsik2166]

My uncle is a construction worker, and he built his own house. Mind you he lives in Canada and has a lot of money, so the house is definitely not on the small side. The main floor bathroom is a long skinny bathroom, definitely a 3 by 1 and it isn't weird. I have been to many houses where the main floor bathroom is long and skinny. My friend's house has one as well, and again her house isn't small. So long skinny bathrooms are really common and is not only in smaller sized houses.

[@nikkik6091]

We have a FULL bathroom downstairs at my house that I would describe as a 2x1.5 lol. It has a toilet and small sink/cupboard on one wall and then a small stall shower and a small closet on the other wall. Weirdly it has two doors (one on either side) and they both open inwards so there’s just enough space to have them both open and have them not touch haha.

[@Sungirl801]

Our guest bathroom on the ground floor is like 2x1 tiles. Toilet plus small sink. :) (I've decorated it with a bunch of rubber ducks. It's cute.)

[@testosteronic]

I make 3 tile toilet rooms in the Sims all the time. In the UK when ppl try to add another toilet in their house they usually get crammed under the stairs, so cramming one into 3x1 tiles (ie the smallest you can do w/o moveobjects) in the Sims doesn't seem weird

[@ExAngel001]

Me, having an uncomfortable small bathroom, where I hit my limbs against one wall, or the toilet, whenever I turn around: This half bathroom looks spacious.

[@E11iewi11iams]

Yall I’m not even kidding I’ve just lost my phone, think it’s right under my bed but I can’t get under my bed so freaking out right now, called my mom through Siri and started freaking out to her about it but she calmed me down and said she’ll help me find it when she gets home, so I’m not now just sitting on my unmade bed watching lilsimsie on my iPad. Great morning so far 🥲

[@PinkVqmpy]

My aunt and uncle live in a town house and they have a long and skinny bathroom, but I have never seen a long and skinny bathroom in a suburban. Ive never been inside a more modern house, but honestly it seems pretty reasonable and fitting

[@AjiaSunshine]

This is such a beautiful build, but I cannot help but cringing over black in the desert! lol! I do this a lot myself, though. As far as skinny bathrooms, I definitely seen this a lot in the 90s house builds. They're useful!

[@blueangel1899]

Ayyyy, colored house

[@C.CurrySims]

I do 1X3 half-baths all the time. That counter swatch sounds like something I would use at least once

[@lothlorienbaby]

I started the Not So Berry challenge recently! I just finished Rose gen (except for the wedding when they're an elder) and my Yellow gen just became a teen. It is a lot of fun, although I have to say I was so grateful that Rose was easier than Mint because I didn't finish Mint until my Sim was an elder so poor Yellow gen barely got to know them at all.

[@cryptid-immortality]

The bathroom I have at work irl is like a 2x1 bathroom, and then I have used one that was like it was a kind of 1.5x1 bathroom. So long skinny bathrooms feel realistic.

[@RibenaBaby1]

Please continue building houses for the Not So Berry!!! I'm up to Peach gen and its sooo hard to find pre-built houses for these later gens
