Maybe it's just me, but I think it's ok if not everything matches. Irl, you may have some furniture pieces given by family members or pieces bought at a pawn shop or something. I think allowing things to be more "imperfect" actually makes it better and more realistic.

[@marycanary86]

yeah the super matchy-matchy gets really boring after a while, especially since matching stuff in ts4 is really limited due to not two wood-tone items actually being the same wood tone.....

It's so crazy to me how differently people see color. Like when Kayla had that greenish wall and she just went "oh that does NOT match." Like no technically it doesn't, but it definitely went well with the colors of the wood and the rug she chose. Personal style is just so cool some times.

[@reynavaldez13]

I noticed that when she decide to use for example pink colour, then she use ONLY pink shades. If she use blue, then EVERYTHING is blue. She never use contrast colours etc. It's the wort when she use beige, it litteraly scream for fun accent colour but no, every each piece of furniture, wallpaper, flooring, EVERYTHING will be beige and only beige.

Ok but everyone knows by now you're great at making small apartments or houses for a big family and 2 or 3 tile bathrooms. :) Why not try challenging yourself now try to build a HUGE apartment for 1 or 2 Sims, making it as lavish and opulent, decorated (and cluttered) as much as possible?

[@pretentioussunshine]

That would be so fun!!

[@emerlad3638]

Green and pink/red are complimentary colors and absolutely work together!!!! I especially like that mint with the more coral-red pinks. One of the complimentary colors being more pastel and the other being more rich always looks great in my opinion like pastel pink with emerald green or navy blue with sherbet orange! There's a book by josef albers called the interaction of color that I highly recommend. It has detailed written descriptions but it also has picture examples. A lot of the time you'll start to get a little bold with your color choices and it looks really good but then you go back to monochromatic or analagous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel like blues and greens) because it's safe. I really think a deeper look into color theory would open so many doors for you and your building!!

[@LangkeeLongkee]

@@bigsiskrishere from what I've seen people usually ask her why she does base game builds and she says why. And she takes advice from chat but she does tell people not to back seat game. She's open to suggestions and she follows them if she likes them but she won't do something she straight up hates cause chat asked her too, and ppl get timed out for yelling at her to do stuff.

[@bigsiskrishere]

@@LangkeeLongkee I agree that she usually tries to set good boundaries with chat, but I've definitely seen her change to base game only based on a couple heckles. Yeah, she doesn't hate it, but I'm also worried that she thinks those people are the majority opinion and that she needs to cater to them bc they're the majority or something. Other people on YT especially tend to heckle her for only doing base game but I hope kindly worded comments let her know people are open to her doing it other ways too.

The colour palette in this build, especially the living space and entrance area, is so cool. I almost never go for deep reds, this is great inspiration. I really like how she approaches furnishing

[@thejackrabbit77]

HELPFUL TIP: you can use the recolor tool on "broken" windows (the ones that break and show the wall behind them). The recolor tool will reset the window and make it able to be seen through again. its very helpful in apartments because you can't click the windows and they break sometimes. Its also nice if you have a window in a specific spot and don't want to pick it up and try and put it in the same spot again - just use the recolor tool to reset the window! one last thing: I use this tip before saving/uploading a lot to the gallery too - just to make sure everything is in working order. Good luck and happy simming :)

So it looks a little rundown because the father has been struggling to working two (or more idk) jobs. So he hasn't kept it clean.
