[@CocoMocax]

She just fishes for compliments that way. It's the reverse psychology when she 'doubts' herself.

[@qwitchyy]

It’s normal to want validation for the things you create. Whether or not you like something you create, anxiety can cause you to doubt your abilities and be too hard on yourself. If you don’t want to compliment someone’s work, then don’t. But don’t act like someone’s wrong for hoping people like their work and vocalize that.

[@notavailable1174]

@@CocoMocax that’s not true, have you ever genuinely not been 100% pleased with something you do? she never says “overall this build was horrible” she instead says things like, “i really do like this build just that bedroom was a little weird.” have you ever written an essay and told someone “i definitely could have written my thesis a little better?” getting compliments probably didn’t come to your mind, so why is she suddenly fishing for compliments?

[@felirichter7228]

(edit: just saw the bit you're referring to. that's definitely a thing you see in some houses even now, interior doors that you step _up_ into bc the next room is on a higher level! it looks a bit odd, both in game + irl, but i'm gonna try to assume kayla/the team have tested everything and made sure it works)

I just feel like with the continued skin tone issues and all, they should be at least making the effort to be inclusive.

The ‘split level’ feature is a traditional japanese Genkan, where you take your shoes off before entering the house. It shouldn’t really be in your dining room like you made it but obvs it’s just a pack, but just letting you know :)

[@melz6625]

I’m sure she tried hard but she is American. I as a German wouldn’t know where to start with Japanese architecture. Too bad they didn’t include any Asian simmers in this. Freezerbunny comes to mind. Like is it just me confused that 4 people who aren’t even Asian let alone Japanese build the entire thing? I mean obviously it’d be similar if it came from Maxis but knowing the people makes it more obvious. We all still have a long way to go when it comes to true diversity in the workplace, I guess

[@StoryGirl83]

I'm hoping the "split level" feature will help me build my own home, which is decidedly American, but seems impossible to build in the Sims due to how the front porch was made. You make a valid point about people with more knowledge of the culture should have been involved and hopefully people will make use of it to make more traditional Japanese homes.

[@hhughes9465]

from her comments it seems like she knows this. I'm wondering if in more modern homes split levelling is still exclusive to the entrances? or if japanese architecture has evolved to include the feature in other areas perhaps.

[@louisadsc]

She's just using the split levelling feature in other places though? She does have it in her entryway? I'm slightly confused as to why this is a problem.

[@jensencaldwell5101]

from what i've seen in some people's apartment tours, it seems like the answer is a solid "kinda"? like i've seen apartments that had genkan + kitchen + living/sleeping area with a step _up_ between each, but none that stepped _down_ into any area besides... genkan, porches, and _sometimes_ bathrooms.

I'm a huge nerd for anime and had a phase as a teen when I loved everything about Japan and wanted to learn everything about it, so watching this video got me soooo excited. I loved your builds, you can really tell you spent a bunch of time researching Japanese architecture to make them feel more authentic. My favourite has to be the grandparents' home though, I particularly liked the use of platforms to shape the living area downstairs and the stone floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. Can you tell I'm really excited to build with this pack?
