Pro tip: you can use the jungle adventure public bathrooms, which have showers and toilets. For only 0 simoleons

[@Sytrylt]

Right I remember doing that once !! And the trash chute from city living works and is 0 simoleons too, if i'm not mistaken

[@AKA_Studios]

Thank you for the tip! I often use the public bathrooms for my budget tiny home builds but still build showers. This is a game changer

I think that would count as cheating though for it being outside, in one of her videos when she was building a house, she said that if she put stuff outside it'd be cheating so I assume it has the same concept for this.

@@theincompleterealm1582 honestly, you probably could. There’s a lot in Get Famous that costs zero simolens. And then using debug, you can create an almost fully functional house. Then if you use lot traits from eco lifestyle, I believe you can sell water and power because you won’t use any. I’m not 100% on this though, but I feel like I should test it out now lol

Can you make a similar home that looks like it’s in the back of a van like the food truck from your challenge? I’d love to have sims who are “van life” people.

the logical next step seems to be an attempt at a free house. like using debug, and you gotta make it the closest thing to functional without spending a single simoleon. could be an interesting challenge👀

i love these house challenges, it's perfect for rags to riches let's plays (specially if you're like me: can't build but hates to see all the furniture in the open lmao)

[@marieduran6286]

The apartment trash chute is zero simoleans. Also in debug, there is a fishing sign, you can make a small pond and put out a fishing sign, or get the magical tree to the Sylvan Glade. What I also like to do is put out the parma grant tree from Snowy Escape, they cost nothing, but you can eat the fruit or sell it. I think I also saw a pee bush in there for free.

[@GirliP0p182]

to make the shell cheaper use a roof and round the top (like the shape of a hoop greenhouse) then you don't need ANY walls. Just pop a door in the front. I like to use glass roofs either partially or in sections so that i don't need lights during the day, and it just looks like you're living in a green house. You can then drag the roof to make it as long as you want so things will fit better (for free). If I want to save space, I make an outdoor shower and use debug plants to fill everything out. After that I go nuts with terrain paint. You can even use terrain paint for your floor INSIDE as well (like a brick paving) and it's also free.

i love this it looks like a teen/student moved out for the first time and the big shelf works because they dont mind scrounging for food but splurging on plants because it gives them a sense of life and purpose 😌🤝

[@DulceReposa]

The fact that she made the shower right in front of her front facing windows with no curtains is hilarious

[@henrique-rm2pm]

isnt the debug trash shoot functional? because if yes you could get the trash functionality for free

[@cucamongaphilips]

And as a fun bonus; those cute little statues are functional lumps of clay and have emotional auras--as does the fish.

[@cucamongaphilips]

I think I would just make the whole thing a roof, and bow it out to be like a barn. That's what I do for sheds and greenhouses. I can't see any reason you couldn't make it bigger and use it for a house.

[@Poppynator]

[@Tiffany__B]

these are actually my favorite type of videos that you do, i love seeing you build the cheapest/smallest houses, it's so fun!!

[@kawaiipiggy4456]

Roofs in the sims 4 are some of my favorite things to build with especially for Rags to riches. They can be very versatile and can also make some pretty interesting pop out windows.

[@cherrykoIa]

Hey, Kayla,I just thought of an idea for rags to riches, the presents from the Christmas tree, u can open them and sell the gifts for money!

[@cassiopeaknack]

I’d recommend either the grass roof or solar panel roof (the actual roof not the panels that cost money) because with the grass you’ll have water so you’ll pay less bills or with the sun panel it’s the same but electricity

[@River_X2_]

Some of those debug stones are the way that sims can't walk on them. I noticed this when I downloaded one of your houses where you used those as walk ways. So they don't really work in the way you intend them to work.

[@kat7429]

If you round the roof, barn-style, and add a door, you can have two more rooms. As others have said, sell the bush and use the debug public bathroom to afford the door(s). The trash chute doesn't seem to work for me. I only get the option to upgrade.

[@writerspen010]

You can get the roof to look better if you use the half-hipped (I forget what it's called) on the corners, just fyi. That type is great for creating mansard roofs and would make this build exterior look more finished imo

[@brubs2556]

You could always just make a separate roof section, and paint that part with a tile on the inside, so it would look the same on the outside, but different on the inside

[@devwev3907]

Tip for garbage can, u can use the garbage schute from city living it’s functional and u don’t need an outdoor trash can
