I renovated a REALISTIC apartment in The Sims 4

[@deligracy]

Hey all! Thanks for the comments regarding adding windows - this was added a while back to the game and I already know about it :) todays build is realistic, so I didn’t want to change existing windows on the apartment building! Thanks for watching, so glad to be back ❤

[@Syzygyzzz]

Yayyy Delis back! I missed you but glad you took some time off. I love how fun, silly and lovely you are. You look great and what a cute puppy!❤

[@SamC12101]

Love this build! So glad you are back and feeling better!

Landgraab apartment should be a residential rental owned by the Landgraab family. I think it would be cool to see it designed from the perspective of Nancy Landgraab.

[@Louise75656]

i dont think you can do residential rentals on on apartments.

[@magnussigurdur]

@@Louise75656you can’t

[@deligracy]

It would be cool to design it for them to stay in!

[@ariash6226]

​@@Louise75656 You can!!

[@innocentnemesis3519]

It’s actually so accurate for the nursery to have the smallest / fewest windows. All nurseries I’ve ever been in always have blackout curtains plastered to the windows 24/7 because babies and toddlers nap so often!

[@sophiag612]

In the US, you technically need a “closet” in a room for it to be considered a bedroom! I know many people probably live in rooms without, but legally to be called a bedroom they need a window & closet!

[@deligracy]

Oh interesting! Wonder if it’s the same in aus

[@blaze.kimbie]

Oh interesting indeed. In France the requirements is a window and be at least 90 sq feet

[@sophiag612]

@@blaze.kimbie Yes not all states in the US to clarify. But where I live! Otherwise it’s just a like bonus/office space. But a window is always required.

[@SkyeSalindar]

I know we have a square foot limit where I live in the US, and probably windows. I found out that there was a square foot limit when my landlord was selling the house we were renting an apartment in. The entire 3rd floor had been divided up into 4 bedrooms at one point, but were too small because of the slanted ceilings. They wouldn't count any square footage with ceilings below I think 6 or 7 feet (this was 2 years ago, so don't remember exactly) so none of the rooms qualified as bedrooms anymore. We had to move our bed to the 2nd floor where we had a spare room, and then the fire marshal wouldn't let us even keep the bed frame in any of the 3rd floor rooms, so we were forced to move it down to the 2nd floor. We were in the process of buying a house so we could move out of the apartment, and had zero interest in putting the frame back together when we were intending to move out in 1-2 months. He wouldn't even let us keep the old twin bed frames my sister left behind on the 3rd floor. There were no twin mattresses in the entire house, no kids, and no other kid furniture/toys/evidence of kids living there. We only had the twin frames because we intended to take them apart and reuse the wood for other things. AND my desk had to be taken apart and moved too, because apparently we weren't even allowed to use any of the rooms as an office space. Fire marshal then forced my landlord to move the door of our apartment so that the 3rd floor was no longer behind a locked door, only the 2nd floor was. Which frustrated the heck out of me, because we essentially lost half our apartment as useable space, anything stored up there was accessible to anyone who decided to come into the unlocked stairwell, and he did not lower our rent or compensate us for the hassle at all

[@S.Snowe1567]

in the Uk the 'legal' requirement is that any room for a single person above the age of ten needs to have a floor space of 70 square feet 6.5 metres, and that's it. other than that it's just any room that isn't a bathroom or living space can be considered a bedroom. An example ive had in my own life is that where i live the houses all have the same layout in terms of floor plan and downstair there is a room across from the hallway which is normally the living room, then next to it you have the main room of the house which is the kitchen and then a small thin hallway kind of room (imagine a 2 by 6 or something in the sims) as like a laundry and storage space, but in my friend's house (next door) her bedroom was the living room of my house, then their living room was the kitchen of my house and their kitchen and laundry was the small corridor kind of room at the end and it absolutely counted as a bedroom in her house.

[@dorrolorro]

I have an interior designer tip for anyone with too few or too small windows; Place your curtains next to your windows instead of on top of them. This will give the illusion that your windows extend behind the curtain and are way wider. You can also attach the curtain rod way above your windows, creating the illusion that they are taller. Happy decorating!

[@StephBSims]

I am so happy you’re back!!! Glad you are healthy, glad you’re filming and so excited about Fran!!

[@deligracy]

[@mimmalee]

As a mom of 3 boys this feels very realistic for a family home! It feels so homey, lived in, and comfortable! I love it! 🥰

[@radi8582]

DELI!!!! You have no idea how emotional I feel right now😭 i saw your last video when I was back home in the comfort of my room.. and now, a month later I moved to a different city on my own doing things I’ve never done and challenging my self in ways I never did…. it’s crazy how much can change in a month!!😭🙌

[@tayloranderson5981]

You are ✨GLOWING✨ this episode!! That burnt orange colour looks so good on you!!

[@lachiecornish6579]

Omg you’re back, I was starting to get worried girl! you need time to yourself though, alway! congrats on your new dog ❤

[@Todomo]

as an american i would be horrified if an apartment had GLASS on the door!

[@martauczkiewicz9557]

Missed u very much, Deli. I checked everyday for the new video. I just find your films really inspiring and watching your builds gives me sooo many ideas to make my own. Thank you for being such a wonderful person, good to have u back ❤

[@deligracy]

Aw thanks for the lovely comment, I’m glad to finally be back!

[@jennymalmiola324]

My kid is already 17yo, but this definitely brought the memories back of all those toys. Everywhere. So yes, very realistic. And cute. Ear scratches to the dogs!

[@EmilyBlueJaye]

I really like the combos you've chosen in this reno/build. Kind of unexpected in some ways but really work well together in a way I would have never considered.

[@missdukette2168]

Deeeelllllliiiiii YAAAAAAYYYY 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Glad to see you back, love the pup and the candle and the amount of times you said "ambiance" .... and guuuurl my throat is hurting from screaming "you can add/change/move windows" ... although one could argue that adding windows isn't realistic

[@PurrfectlyMediocre]

I was thinking the same and then had to remind myself she said "realistic." I think I would toss realistic out the window (haha) for just that one detail.

[@KM-ew3lt]

Lil baby Frangipani!!! ❤ She is soooo precious! And that eyeroll is everything. 😂 Would love to see more doggo cameos. P.S. Great build, Deli.

[@lookitsrae90]

Welcome back Deli! Congrats on the new puppy!

[@violethettinga]

So happy you're back.❤ I always look forward to your content. My little family has been sick too. My kids had RSV for 2 weeks, it was my 6-month-olds first time ever being sick, just glad they can breathe now. Congratulations on the new dog! 🐕💜

[@deligracy]

I’m glad they are feeling better! That sounds so stressful ❤

[@violethettinga]

@deligracy Aww. Thank you! Yeah, it was extremely stressful. I was also sick and had to work as well. So I basically didn't sleep much for those 2 weeks. I'm just glad everyone is better for now ❤️

[@Retr0Nerd]

I’m glad your back! Congratulations on the new dog, feeling better, and uploading again! My sims build have changed after watching your channel, my renovations have the theme of WWDD ( what would Deli do?). And that’s more than just desert luxe curtains!

[@sbhvsbnkscj3306]

Your back! So happy 🙌🕺

[@deligracy]

Hahaha love the WWDD 😂❤️ thank you ❤

[@MinaSimplyGames]

Yay Deli is back!! I love watching you build and Miss Fran is adorbs. This apartment is so fun! You smashed it 🙌🏽

[@deligracy]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@loutie]

I'm not sure what it is but something about this build makes me feel so nostalgic 😭 maybe it's the realism aspect of it, like an apartment of a childhood friend. Such a beautiful build as always!

[@meeowys]

Love your newest family member. Sssoooo cute! So glad your feeling better. Always great to watch your builds and train of thought.

[@jojjypie]

I love this! I can totally imagine this couple moved in here after they got married with big dreams of a grand renovation which got put on the back burner once they started having kids and focusing on being super parents, then when they fell pregnant with their third decided it was finally time as they probably need another bedroom and bathroom too. And this is exactly how they'd fit these in. It feels like such a true reno and refresh where you can see they've cut cost on some IKEA kitchen cabnits and wardrobe to invest more in the new spaces for the kids. And the furnishings is perfect chaos for a young family. Back with a bang Deli!

[@carolandrews6102]

Does Deli not know that we can move/change the windows in apartments now 😂 love the candle by the way

[@reginasantana3039]

i think she rlly doesn’t 🥹🤣

[@AnChristinee]

But she did know that at some time as I remember. Last year I think 🧐😂

[@suan333]

She did a video about it when the update happened but i think for the sake of realism she didn't change them.

[@xo.krista]

Came here to yell at her for this 😅😭 girl no!! I’m screaming at my tv rn.

[@oscarkamala]

not very realistic

[@Soundso026]

In Germany especially the older apartment-houses have glass at the doors but the glass ist milky so you can‘t see right through it. But some people prefer hanging some kind of curtain on it anyway and I can totally relate :D

[@Pepsisue62]

So happy you’re feeling better ❤❤

[@deligracy]

Thanks peps!

[@TylaH01]

Moving all the lights so they’re straight and then moving the candle for us to feel the ambience cracked me up!! Hahaha thank you so much for that 😭😂🫶🏽💕

[@AsjahKay]

Fran is soo sweet!! That eyeroll was so on brand for a puppy on the go. Congrats on the new addition to the family, I have puppy fever so bad right now. Speaking of the build, I think every single time I play in 930 Medina studios I always make that closet a second bathroom.

[@jjbroadway]

Love the ambiance 🥰

[@tapierce6723]

The tent in the bedroom could be just blankets from around the house! Blanket fort! We did that when I was young and I did it for my kids! Thanks for the new video! Love watching you build and decorate!

It's so good to see you again, Deli! Much love to you and to the household, enjoy Ms. Fran!

[@MinicartTSR]

So happy to see you back - glad you're feeling better! I thought the word "skew wiff" ( 4:43 ) was an English thing LOL! Haven't heard that saying in ages. Congrats on the new puppy, she's gorgeous and yes, the candle does give some nice ambience which is appreciated. Love the renovation!

[@elliemaree99]

Definitely an Aussie thing too! We share quite a bit of slang I think

[@deligracy]

Haha, it’s a funny saying but it explains it well! Just so you know it’s actually “AMBIAHHHNCE”

[@MinicartTSR]

@@deligracy Yes it does. Ambiahhhnce - LOL! 😂🤣

[@MinicartTSR]

@@elliemaree99 Oh okay, I will listen out for more! That one tickled me as I hadn't heard anyone else say it for a long time 😃

[@kimberlyknight3428]

Very realistic. I love it. It gives me "Growing Together "vibes. One of my favorite houses you did was the one for Growing Together, with the twins. Love that LP.

[@kkookie977]

I swear, Deli will never get over the addition of those smaller saucer lights! 😅absolutely life changing So happy you’re back btw! 🩵

This video made me feel a wave of nostalgia! It isn’t necessarily how our home looked like when I was a kid but it unlocked memories of the vibe of my home as a kid. Thank you! Welcome back also! It’s great to see you feeling better and to meet the little one❤

[@funkypixelstudio]

Love it!! As a mom, I can say this apartment is 100% accurate. And the tent is not too extravagant - the little ones always com eup with stuff like that and I have to keep it up even though it takes up my whole living room ;)

[@brittany0717]

Hi Deli! Welcome back so glad to see you! Health and Family are always number 1 priority happy you were able to take some time off for yourself! ❤🎉 Congratulations on the puppy she is soooo cute!

[@AdamZugone]

27:10 I feel the exact same way about House Flipper 2! There are a couple sinks that are meant specifically for bathrooms and those look good, but if you want to create a custom counter with sinks then there are no realistic looking options :(

[@mrosen4023]

Glad to see you're back! Hope you're feeling better. Missed your videos! ❤

[@Rosebud_official]

Yay! Welcome back deli! Cute puppy. We are glad you are feeling better. We missed you ❤

[@miniminou8333]

You're back! I'm glad you're better! And I absolutely love little Frangipani! Have really wanted to cuddle a dog for the past few days, but I don't have one, so I'm cuddling my cat provided he accepts it. Btw I actually don't have English as my first language (I'm German), and while I don't really use your (and James') videos to learn English, I did and do use them to get better at it and have it be more natural for me.

[@shenillebriones]

Frangipani is soooo cute!!! I got really excited when I saw James’ post that you got a new dog and named her Fran because I had just recently discovered The Nanny sitcom and been in love with the show since then. Anyway, great build as always, Deli. Welcome back! ❤️

[@tanyadueck1483]

I just used that mystery object(diaper display) a couple days ago. A very nice addition. Love this reno you did looks realistic to me.

[@AbysmalDiver]

I haven't been feeling playing the sims recently but this video makes me want to! The new graphic for the outro looks so cool! I know you've done thus before but I'd love to see your realistic dream home build. I think it's cool to see how that changes

[@ItsTheOlive]

Your dog is SO cuteeee!!!🥰

[@jessticals9300]

So glad to see you back, Deli! I am obsessed with lil Fran Fine 🥹 she really looks like a big fluffy teddy bear! Also, this apartment is my fav to renovate so I'm glad to see this as your first video back 🥰

[@MindiiSimii]

I think you’re thinking of onomatopoeia - when something sounds like what it is. The word bang, zap or zing. I love little Fran! And you did a great job with the apartment. Don’t forget that we can move windows now! And add new ones. ❤

[@ashtonoaks15]

I think this is my favorite remodel you’ve ever made!!! I hope you do more realistic ones in the future ❤ especially touches like the nook that has all the random but functional items! That makes it feel so real 🥹

[@becklovely9184]

We need a single slot closet. Most homes and especially apartments don't have double sized closets.

So glad to have you back and I hope you feel better! Also, your eyebrows look AMAZING! Thanks for another great video!

[@alyssiaschubert3513]

The build looks amazing I love it. Teething puppies are the worst, I thought it was a "great idea" to do puppy stage of a land shark (German Shepard) and a chewer (staffie X border collie) together safe to say it wasnt a good idea. Love Miss Fran Fine, the family and I have been watching the nanny on binge.

[@Alienflop]

I feel like the alto apartment should be for a messy streamer/youtubers house and because it has the romantic fireplace trait a pastel kind of colours could work :D

[@JulieWinther]

I'm so happy you're back, Deli! Missed you lots! Congratulations on Frani, she's adorable. Also, this renovation is so good :)
