building a micro home in the sims... but on a diagonal

[@coreycarroll3761]

I never understood why there isn’t a button for us to click that changes the grid to/from diagonal which would make building and decorating so much easier

[@laughsingay]

Ah that would be awesome

[@Unholy_Tongue]

Easy answer for anything related to why it's not in the game. EA hasnt figured out how to make money off of it so they dont allow the devs to do what they want. At this point all any of us can hope for is that paralives is so good it either kills off the sims or forces EA to wake up and let the devs make the game we all want.

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Because that's not how the grid system works on Sims 4 unfortunately. While building on a diagonal, you're just using the real game grid (what you get when you divide one square by 4).

[@woylies]

that would be SO hard to pull off and most likely a waste of EA’s resources. i’m a game design student, and thinking in a game design company’s perspective, sims 4 is perfectly fine without a diagonal grid toggle that would take a long time to code and implement without any bugs. that being said, EA is a massive company and definitely has the resources to implement a functional diagonal grid feature, but from a business standpoint, the time would better be spent on making more expansion packs which are more profitable for the company.

[@arcanine_enjoyer]

@@woylies silly you, nobody who claims to be a fan of the sims thinks like a game developer or even think game development is hard. They'll just say it's a company and tell them to hire more people

[@stephanietaylor6069]

I really think you should make the MOST EXPENSIVE micro home you possibly can Edit: I’ve seen a couple of other people do it but I think it’d be interesting if it could JUST be on the house itself instead of a “regular” mini house and a super extravagant yard, but could be a fun challenge either way

Could you use the exact same objects and try to build a non-diagonal micro home and test whether the diagonal is truly bigger?? See whether all the objects still fit?

[@Ardelin_]

If you think about Pythagoras's theorem, the '1x1' diagonal tiles are actually two tiles in area. But the game takes that into account, so it's 32 either way.

@@kayleethatoneweirdchick2465 I agree but also she refrains from using them in so many videos, when you see the comments a lot of people are a bit "frustrated" and just want to see an "every pack house", there could be a balance between only base game and only all packs

Diagonals are a pain, but can make cute little cottage homes! Honestly, I'd love to see you try not to use beige, white, or greige in a build, or use it very minimally

[@krispie2895]

You should do no limits build, since you do so many base game it would be nice to see you build with all the packs!

[@chessu]

I know she does it, so people can download it, but as someone who doesn't actively play, but mostly watches, it really does get a little boring seeing the same items (particularly with Kayla, as she's also always going for a starter home aka cheap stuff). I'd love to see all packs used to their full potential. Not every house has to be downloadble/they can just fill the gaps with base game later.

[@natirasart9687]

I love that the house ended up matching the dinosaur in the background

[@junerussell6972]

I love this build. I used it for my "Frog Challenge" this past week (which I did twice, in two different neighborhoods.) I couldn't believe how well it worked because usually micro homes are hard to maneuver in. This was great!

[@wmytk]

On the fenced in yards that don't have a gate, you should put one or two tiles of fence on a diagonal to create an illusion of an open gate. For example, this would have worked well on the starter home you posted yesterday.

[@wmytk]

Well, at least 40 of you were able to figure out what I was trying to say. Haha

[@marieduran6286]

When you were doing the outside tile, I noticed that the ones on the side looked like a diamond. I would have left it like that then fill in the rest of the area with debug plants and rocks, then put some outside lights in the center of the diamonds, or fountains with lights in them.

tips for micro homes: unless you have a couple, use a bunk bed. if I want a desk, put it under. if Ur bed is in the same room as the living room put the sofa under. put SOMETHING under it that you would have even if it wasn't a bunk bed. if u have multiple Sims and want a computer for each, or a desk space, use a dining table. even if it's 2x1 (the same size as a normal desk), up against a wall and you don't use the side parts, it fits 2 people. 2 in the size of 1. and more space for clutter or anything else you want on there. if u want u can also use a divider in the middle using the BB.moveobects cheat (which doesnt require testingcheats true) u can make a 2 X 1 bathroom. put the door on the middle of the long side. put a toilet on one side (a small one) and use BB.moveobjects to put it a bit inside the wall, as much as u can without it showing on the other side. put a small sink on the other side and repeat if necessary. either don't have a shower but if u have seasons or snowy escape use those showers without the step in thing

[@-alzria-1705]

To be honest I love it when you try to do base game builds because a lot of people (like me) cannot afford to get all the packs so it means a lot when you try to do base game builds so we can use those builds in our gameplay

[@martyruth77]

i really want to see her do a micro home build where she tries to see how many sims can possibly live in the same space. idc if it's made for all teenagers or if it's designed for an adult and a shit ton of toddlers, it would just be interesting to see how she'd work that out

make a house out of Tetris pieces. rules 1. all pieces must be used (the line, square, T, L, J, S, and Z) 2. all pieces are the same scale (the square is 2x2 and the line is 1x4 if you make the square 4x4 then the line is 2x8 and so forth) 3. if you use 2 of the same shape, you have to use two of every shape 4. OPTIONAL, you cannot make a house that stretches from one side of a lot to the other, because that would complete a line and erase that section of your build. 5. OPTIONAL, use only the official colors per each room. Cyan line, yellow square, purple T, green S, blue J, red Z, and orange L. personally I prefer the colors from tetris plus on PS1 over the official colors. but it is up to you.
