Japanese Farmhouse | The Sims 4 Speed Build

[@松崎勝-y2e]

I’mJapanese. The exterior of this house looks like it was built in the Meiji era, about 150 years ago, but the interior is modern and very nice. It looks like my grandmother's house. Thanks for the great video.

[@vulpine8780]

wow, I'm Indonesian. My dream house is a traditional Japanese house,

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

I do not know how you can build these massive builds so consistently, a regular house takes me like 5 hours 😭

[@lorrainethomas8797]

Right?

[@Celeste-wh9ew]

I need like 10 days just to make my builds actually PRESENTABLE😭

[@lorrainethomas8797]

@@Celeste-wh9ew And then I play in it and realize my Sims can't use certain items, so tweak it, then decide the kitchen is too small and make it bigger, which messes up egress to the dining room, which I fix only to end up having the stairs disappear, which means I have to pull the front of the house forward, which requires redoing all the landscaping, and then I realize all these renos have made a complete hash of the roof and....thank heaven there are builders like Jess on the gallery!

It’s the washroom THEN the W/C in a separate room.✌🏽☺️Usually, it’s an entirely separate room for bathing and washing clothes in a machine and then hanging the laundry to dry. We hang personal garments inside because there really are men that will steal your underwear. lol The sims won’t let you pick so you can cheat and just hang ALL clothes inside or go ahead and hang them outside since no one will steal your stuff in the game. Haha. The W/C is usually next door or just across from the bathroom/washroom. In rare cases, in my experience, there can be a BIG bathroom/washroom that has a W/C inside in a tiny closet sized room off in a corner, but I do not see those a lot.

[@Jessicapie]

Thank you! 🤍🤍

[@roguesmile1491]

HI! I'm a westerner living in Japan now. In my experience, the "bathroom door" opens into a small room with a sink(and laundry machine if the house has it) then from that room there is a door to the "ofuro" which isn't a tub as we typically think. The entire room is meant to get wet, the shower (like from the pack)is just a nozzle on a pipe attached to the wall and isn't separated from or over the tub (like I'm used to in the US) but to one side because they wash before soaking and only partially change bathwater to reheat it between family members. There's a whole hierarchy of who gets to bathe first, I think it's grandparents(multi-gen households are very common, usually living with the oldest son)>father>mother>kids in age order. Modern bathrooms usually have a rod to hang drying clothes or a place for a removable rod to slot in. Generally people seem to air dry or dry under their bathroom vent. I think only 2 of the houses I've been in here owned dryers. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure there is usually only one shower/tub per house. The water closet/toilet room will also have it's door attached to the sink area though my current apartment has it attached to the hallway just outside. Extra toilets are in their own closet with nearby sink or a sink built into the top of the toilet. The farmhouse and gardens look great!

[@Jessicapie]

Thank you so much that’s so helpful 🤍🤍

[@PepperPlaysStuffs]

Japanese wet rooms are the best kind in my opinion. You usually walk into the laundry/sink area and there will be a door off to the side for a toilet, and another door for the bath and shower. the room containing the bath and shower is usually completely water proof and is where they air their laundry on rainy days. some japanese toilets come with a sink above the cistern so you can wash ur hands with clean water, and the water goes into the cistern, to be used later in the bowl. I love japanese architecture. the only thing i would recommend next time, is japanese entry ways have two levels. lower is where you take your shoes off and upper leads into the house and the tea room is usually right there. it's only a step up, and platforms add a lot of dimension to the house.

[@zoobiepie9830]

Wow this build is incredibly impressive. I’m absolutely blown away by every build you make, but this has to be one of my favorites. The amount of detail and time you put into each and every build, and the storylines you construct are amazing. We all appreciate you, keep on building! ❤️

[@Jessicapie]

🥺🥰 thank you so much! 🤍

[@ay-ay-ron28]

Your commentary is absolutely hilarious! Your rant about the gallery cracked me up so much! And this entire build is insane! All the details are incredible! You are truly one of the best builders in this community

[@Jessicapie]

🥺🥺 thank you

[@vermillionbird3243]

To answer your question about Japanese bathrooms, from what I understand the toilet is in a little closet by itself (some Japanese toilets have an attached sink over the back) and the bath is in a bit of a wet room that might also have a sink or the sink could be in the hallway outside the bathroom. The bathroom is a wet room because it is traditional to shower before you get into the bath so that you have clean water. I really enjoy your videos BTW. You have such a soothing voice.

[@Jessicapie]

Thank you! 🤍

[@aliciadbarbour]

Love listening to your voiceovers...you have such a soothing voice! Your creativity pushes me with my own builds 🥰

[@Jessicapie]

Thank you so much!! 🤍

[@ameliefrench]

I loveee this build 😍 I’m gonna play in it tomorrow with the storyline you came up with! The only thing I would say is that in Japanese culture they ALWAYS take their shoes off before entering the house & they have a seperate lowered platform before they step up into their house where they must take their shoes off, this is a respect & cultural thing & it goes for every entry/exit to the house from outside. This is why the sims added the ‘take shoes off’ & platforms with the snowy escape pack xx

[@Jessicapie]

Thank you for letting me know that! 🤍

[@aviewer9516]

Yes, the foyer in many homes, is the 'gen-kan' where you take your shoes off and it is definitely lower level so if needed you can sit on the platform and take your shoes off.

[@deborahrobinson9536]

I am in love with your creations, you are totally my inspiration, I can’t believe how quickly you make these homes, it takes me days just to do a room, YOU ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SIMS 4 BUILDER, I LOVE your story lines too. Literally you need to be up there with Deligracy ect, you are so amazing , and Essex girl living in Cornwall, you still remain on our TV in the front room, with us saying wow wow wow.

[@Jessicapie]

🥰🥰 thank you so much! 🤍🤍

[@sherricherry9090]

Hello, I love your videos. A typical Japanese bathroom is normally layedout to where as you enter the bathroom, the first area is a sink area (typically a washer is placed in this area). The sink area then leads into two separate room; one room contains just a toilet; the other room contains the shower and bath. Hope this helps 😊

[@mephystophyles]

I honestly was not expecting to be as enthralled by this build as I ended up being, what an awesome surprise! Your builds never cease to amaze me, Jess. Keep up the incredible work, I can't WAIT for your save!

I love how much drama you can have in the Sims. I gave the Landgraab’s a pool boy and then I did the classic “mom is doing the pool boy”. BUT, the dad is ALSO doing the pool boy, and neither knows about the other’s affair. Rn, Nancy is pregnant and nobody knows who the father is🫢.

[@elysseussy]

absolutely obsessed with these builds but im really here for the tea 🍵👀

[@aesopie]

i might be wrong, but the situation of the bathroom/toilet depends on the floorplan mostly. usually, in the hallway would be two doors; one for the toilet by itself and one for the sink and bathing facilities. in other occasions there would be a door into the restroom with a sink, with two additional doors inside it for the bath and toilet respectively. and smaller apartments can also have all of them together in one. hope that helps. amazing build by the way !!

IN Japanese houses the toilet is a completely separate room not connected to the wash room. And the entrance to the house is a step below the rest of the house, its called a Genkan.

[@Catawhorl]

From what I have seen of the bathrooms. Toilet is separate and even the sink area can stand on its own with a sliding door entry to a bathing area. If their rich they may have a Sauna bath room instead.
