Modern vs Retro Build Challenge in The Sims 4

[@sydmac]

which side did you prefer? 🤔

[@aMayaS19]

I like the modern side ❤

[@HeizousFavS33xT0y]

I really like both:D

[@sadiecakess2180]

Retro!

[@moonluna3612]

I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW YOU'D POSTED A NEW VIDEO !! and i think i prefer the retro side a littleee bit more 👀loved the video!! 💗

[@Toxicvirgoat]

Honesty retro

[@rue353]

every room a different country. would be cool to attempt that in the sims

[@ash3rishere]

Deligracy has done this already, but it was pretty short and I didn’t like the rooms to be honest. If Syd does this, I hope she does it better!

[@theaitokyo]

@@ash3rishere not being rude !! but it doesnt matter if someone else has done it. that's why it's a challenge. just like the " every room is a different * insert name * ". idk why deli had to be brought up in a unrelated thing :/

[@silvervixen007]

Yes!

[@ash3rishere]

@@theaitokyo Actually it was related because she was the only person who has done the challenge, and I was saying my opinion on it. I don’t know why you think that’s unrelated because it really is.

[@rue353]

once you start watching syd, no other sims builder compares

[@castlerysiaj5155]

So true

[@laurenzeexo]

True! She changed my taste and now when i watch other people, something feels missing lol

[@mahirverma5220]

@@laurenzeexo she puts a lot of effort and detail in her builds and even tells us which items from which packs she's placing in the build,and that's what makes her builds/videos so fun to watch

[@magnolia_]

for real, it's always so satisfying to watch, and i always get so inspired

[@Minhosboyfriend]

getting home from a tiring school day and watching syd build is everything i need

[@xxxbethmeme3editsxxx6404]

Me too

[@nicolewoodworth6777]

Girly, you are THE best decorator! I love your placements of things and you are so good at every theme! You rocked both sides!

[@sydmac]

Thank you so much!!

[@Aeri.saev_]

Pétition to make Syd a game changer 👇

[@shannonellisyt]

I love the vs challenges. Really shows how good both styles can look 🤎💫

[@sydmac]

thank you:)

[@jaye61970]

I grew up in the 70's. Your retro build reminded me of the house I grew up in. The only thing missing was floor to ceiling mirrors in the living room. It was garish, but in a good way.

[@simply_emzzz]

Such a fun concept! My theory is that the modern side is a young house designer’s first place to themselves and the retro an older Sim who lived alone. They dislike each other because the younger sim works from home and has friends over and also criticizes the older sim for being stuck in the past. However, the younger sim learns that all of the older sim’s family has passed away and keeping their house old fashioned is how they keep their memories of them since they have begun to develop amnesia. I felt so inspired watching you build this house!! Much love ❤️

[@theaitokyo]

that is such a wholesome storyline :( and maybe the modern sim after realizes that the older sims family passed away, now she cooks the older sim dinner from time to time :') and in return the older sim either bakes them some cookies / sweets or makes them a crotchet item !

[@noodlerdoodler]

HOW are you still not an EA Gamechanger?

[@kay-st8kj]

you deserve so much more recognition you are such a good builder!!

[@baileyd512]

ugh i’m SO obsessed with 70s style homes and you captured the vibe so perfectly!!! so cute and cozy, i want to live there

[@chloesresellingjourney]

70s all the way! So much more character and fun. Great video, as always ❤❤

[@jade839]

Yay, a lunch break with Syd! I love the shapes and homey feel of the 70s rooms and the modern side seems so calm and clean. I can't choose! 😩💕

[@Rubs104]

So much inspo!! I like making retro homes but you’ve shown me a whole new world🤌🏼

[@reynavaldez13]

I'm waiting for my favourite style fusion: "Industrial Boho" !

[@torid.344]

As someone obsessed with the 70s aesthetics and music I WOULD LOVE to live in that house! You nailed that retro 70s vibe in thr build, love it!

[@libbythomas8787]

enemies to lovers but the decor choice version lol! I can't decide which side I like more, they're both so good!

[@adritaroy7522]

Getting home from a long office day and watching your builds really mades my day! I love playing sim but it was becoming really difficult with my current schedule. I’m so glad I find you. You are a sure blessing to my sims cravings. You deserve all the love 💕

[@saadiyamulla558]

Love that all your videos are very different to each other.. awesome content❤

[@sydmac]

thank you:)

[@dairyairsquare]

and here i am wishing i had all of the sims packs yet again

[@stormwright8300]

My alternate interpretation of this is that the modern side belongs to a young designer and the retro side belongs to their grandpa. The designer moved in to care for the grandpa and his wife has passed. He tries to get him to renovate, at least to move past grief but grandpa keeps it retro to remind him of his wife

[@tilda3397]

You don't understand how much I needed this today. Has been a rough day and this just made my day so much better. Thanks!

[@AxelWolfeCT]

I can see myself living in both the retro and modern sides of the house. Both have their advantages. Modern has the pool and outdoor living space that I absolutely love, including the little outdoor kitchen area, perfect for having bbq’s during the summer. Modern also has an awesome office that would be perfect for getting work done or playing some games. The modern bathroom is amazing and I definitely would love that tub in real life too, lol. However I can see myself using the retro side for just about everything else, watching tv in the sunken living room, listening to music by the record player, that kitchen and dining room would be perfect for cooking and eating in. The retro side bedroom would be my go to for sleeping as well. Overall I’m split, but Team Retro definitely wins! Also you’re a really talented builder. I enjoy every build you make. EA really should consider making you an EA Game changer.

[@sofiasverdrup6087]

The outsides match together so well even though there different styles! 😍

[@missteabee]

I never make KZbin comments but instead of a feud it would be so cute if it was like a family home where the parents decided to give half of the house to their child to start their own family so one side got remodeled to the style of the child where the parents kept their side homey and how it was when they first got the house or built it. Just my thoughts! Such a great build! I personally prefer the 70s style.

[@doylethechocolatelab]

70s builds are always my favourite

[@sydmac]

same:D

[@kelseyharlan]

I’d love to see you do a build that mashes up two different decades!! (Maybe every time home is a different era mashup)?

[@stargrlctrl]

personally ur my fav builder and sims youtuber, ur so insanely talented and underrated

[@SawCSim]

Super cute omg I love both sides as always 😍😍😍💜💜💜💜✨✨✨✨

[@sydmac]

Thank you!! 😊

[@guenncerine]

Omg I like the retro so much! Missedt this kind of build challenge

[@nixienooo]

Your modern is so much better than the modern homes I see on TikTok. There’s always so much beige

[@ohmyheaart1534]

i adore ur builds, you're so creative its incredible

[@sydmac]

Thank you so much!!

[@theyorkshirejo]

Ahhh you’re getting so close to 200k already!! I’m so happy for you 😍💖

[@sydneyclukey4360]

Your building style is amazing the way everything flows together 👌❤

[@iljaberendsenn]

I am more a 70s kind of girl, I love al the patterns, wood tones and style!! Loved the video

[@lilypadgreenish]

I love the "duplex" idea since I live in one. It is a house from 1960's hence this is so fun to watch. Even though in my country (Honduras 🇭🇳) the houses styles are very different from North America. I so enjoy your videos, Syd! ❤

[@chrisg9900]

wow amazing, the 70s living room reminds me of my grandparents home in etobicoke

[@sashajobe]

ur builds are literal magic 🫶🏾!!

[@sydmac]

thank you❤️❤️

[@NargelsLikesMe]

I love your historic and retro builds!

[@lelala1654]

I like love to see Syd build more unisex rooms/house like this one I can see anyone living there

[@jowaller69]

I’m torn between the two. I grew up in the 70’s so the retro side brings back happy memories and I’m living the modern with a home office.

[@hannahnancylee5117]

i NEED another let’s play. idk what but your honestly so creative so i have no doubts.

[@lisettewilson7395]

Your modern builds are amazing!

[@aeonscore]

syd ! how about a dorm house for a band or a pop group ? I have been trying to build one but I think id love to see your take on it ! it could even have practice rooms, room for managers etc. you could also do a comparison of a starter dorm vs when they finally get famous and can afford a more upscale dorm house ! btw loved this one

[@ilevico862]

I'd love to see the Pinterest boards of these builds, the vibes are immaculate ✨

[@theaitokyo]

i wish syd would make more pinterest inspired builds. i loved how she tried to make a house and decorate it based off pinterest too.

[@dyatlovingk]

Loving your look in this vid!

[@deejsweet]

Love both! But retro is my favorite 😍 I love the colors and how it all came together

[@BrookeAzgard]

loved the retro, you have great taste! xx

[@susanpalermo2811]

Syd you should do every room is a different ice cream flavor! For example, mint chip could be brown and green, strawberry could be pink/red, etc! ❤️❤️

[@anna_rexia-l7d]

Question, do you map out what your going to say or do before you sit down to record and build or do you just go with the flow and build as you go? I hope that made sense lol

[@Haitee]

Hello Early gang! Syd I just wanted to say I LOVE watching your build videos! You make everything so nice looking and you're super creative, you're a great inspiration specially for me as a beginner in the sims, so thank you for all your wonderful builds, you're amazing!!

[@kayliejohnson3456]

One-side is a old couple and the other side is like a just married couple

[@roaringfaithwear]

I was little worry you was going forget Lava Lamp😮Such a Great Job👍👍👍, I have lived through this Era and you hit it on the nail with all the 70's stuff, I Absolutely love it 😊😊😊 all through I love modern style now😊

[@Vivianiubu]

The vintage side is so cramped and brown I love it 😩🩷

[@LaurenWard-cq2mj]

I really thought the modern side would be my favourite but wow that retro side is STUNNING!!

[@Lvl1Critters]

would love to see a version of the retro home by itself, love mid century modern homes

[@valentinecarletti7550]

I love your videos so much ! Could you do more create a sim content ? Maybe a decade challenge (each sim is a decade), or another glow up challenge with secret sim from the gallery like you already did ?

[@adrianadavis7287]

U need more recognition omg

[@maisiel682]

Get famous coming out strong on retro build! Actually really surprised how retro the build items are!

[@Terezacalkova]

i love your building skills ❤

[@sydmac]

thank you:)

[@pinaryasar3158]

you are better than most of the sims builders around the world.

[@jadedjhypsi]

Love this... what you call retro is in architectural terms called "Modern" which is a bit ironic =) and extra funny being you compared it to the modern look, which is actually called "Contemporary" in those same architectural terms =) (BTW, I adore putting sunken living areas in my builds, so fun!!!!)

[@IRAP2002]

I would like to think that the modern part of the house was built as an extension of the retro house, but then they got separated into two separate houses so that the landlord could rake more money in from whoever lives there

[@JBabyLeather]

Love when you do retro styles

[@angeles2936]

amazing as always!

[@denavasili1980]

Great video! Retro is stunning

[@drainkass]

so good i wanna see u making “modern sim vs retro sim” for this house /pos

[@Angelica__Marie]

Love your shirt, the build! Team retro! your hair, love it all 🥳

[@dewdrop5221]

The retro is just *chefs kiss*

[@rainbowtigress2191]

I don’t know if it’s just me but I always make up a story behind any Syd build 🤭 It just feels right

[@Urfallobsessedsister]

Syd you never fail us! I luv u

[@DaemonsAngel]

The basement kit really would have come in handy here lol especially the tv

[@EmelieStenberg]

The retro one is amazing!! 😍

[@loveliyv]

aaa love the retro sm💪💗

[@blackbirdxoxoable]

The retro was literally magic, so so perfect 😂❤️

[@marcusmek]

something about this channel is so fucking addicting

[@starsims90]

i hope this will be on the gallery i think it would be great to play in and extend the storyline.

[@ChibiRandom13]

I recently built a home for me and my sister where one side was a mountain cabin (my side, so obviously my favorite side here is the 70s) and the other was a modern ranch style home! It's seriously fun to mix the two and make such wildly different styles right next to each other. Also it's no wonder these two house owners hate each other - ones an interior designer whose probably constantly badgering the 70s house about at least painting the walls or something! and that 70s house living room walls right up to the modern home's office lol

[@katieehrhart935]

Both sides were great but I really loved the retro side best ❤

[@graceelwick6422]

my insomnia, australian timezone and obsession with youtube gives me the privlige of always being early to syds uploads

[@MalisthasStory]

i love ur vidd they're inspiring for me. 💖

[@jaddaSA]

Tiny build challenge: each tiny house is inspired by a different country/city. Btw I loveeeeeeee you Syd. I literally stare at my phone for your videos to upload❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@audiipops]

never realised how perfect get famous is for retro builds. i’ve had it for like a year or 2 and never really utilised it…

[@scratch.mp3]

definitely prefer the retro! i've never really been a fan of modern interiors tbh

[@soviartgarage]

You should make like 2 houses on the same lot but they're connected houses so a hallway that connects the houses. Just an Idea btw :)

[@alyssasweet2961]

syd's fav word this vid is like loll i cant complain tho i use like alot too

[@leleite1]

I can smell the oldest house 😂 the modern is pretty, but idk, the old style feels like a home

[@sydmac]

I know exactly what you mean😂

[@theapfeiffer4583]

Both houses was really nice! But I think I prefer the retro one. And I would love to see a video where each tiny home is a different pack. (: If you have done a video like that before. ❤

[@eleni3958]

Video idea: Two different houses with two different themes e.g retro and modern BUT you have to use the same items. So if you were to use a bed in the retro house you must use the same one in the modern house. You can change swatches and even if you only use a plant once in the retro house, you can use it several times in the modern.

[@chelseyfrye3473]

You should do like a duplex style house and take your inspiration from the movie Gnomeo and Juliet. It’s like the blue vs red side.

[@BLOW-19]

10000% This one was made for the new For Rent pack. It would be perfect for a neighborly feud 😂❤Love it!!

[@AnaBanana318]

video idea!! Each house is a different element. Water, air, fire, earth

[@Rebel_SammyRenee]

The retro side 😍😍 70s all the way ✌🏼☮️

[@millie8753]

every room is a different barbie movie for example 12 dancing princess for a dining room and so on i think that would be so cool x

[@cqen2663]

i love the modern look

[@michibeechi]

syd you’re my favorite sims youtuber 🫶 i’ve tried watching a few others in between your uploads as i’ve already watched most of your videos but i feel like no one else really compares in terms of your positivity, creativity, and personality :)

[@croaklikeatoad4384]

I would love to see a bloomcrest style challenge where you start on the smallest lot with a 2010s/2020s tiny house then move up a lot and back a decade until you’re making vintage mansions.

[@croaklikeatoad4384]

I’ll probably just do this myself but im bad at it 😅

[@lexigotsas]

most underrated youtuber just sayin...deserves sm more subs

[@carissapreston9246]

You could try making the house layout that was on the corkboard.
