Old Stone Cottage || The Sims 4 Family Home: Speed Build

[@ChrissiesCorner]

This house is absolutely gorgeous!! I've been loving this older style with the modern accents that you've been doing on the island! I'd definitely love to see you mix up and maybe even add a few new clubs to your save file! I literally never use the EA created ones! :D

[@SimLicy]

Thank you! I will definitely be doing some clubs! 😊💜💜💜

[@KotaCakes]

Gorgeous! I really love the older house with a modern extension thing, it adds so much character and story to the house. Makes it feel like a real place rather than just a plopped down build.

[@SimLicy]

Thank you so much! 💜💜💜

[@lilli6482]

Definitely think you should make changes in the clubs and make new ones! Another beautiful build 💕

[@SimLicy]

Okay! I will! Thank you 😊💜💜

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

I really love how half the build is a traditional Hamptons stone cottage and the other half is all contemporary glass architecture. It really does remind me of the multi-million dollar renovated cottages out along Southampton or Montauk that overlook the New York Bight or Peconic Bay.

[@sharpmcteague3378]

Clara and Bjorn are divorced in my game save, Clara has a successful life after the divorce, she became a pastry chef (level 8 of the culinary career I think) and owner of a 5 star family restaurant on the dock of Brindleton Bay called Captain's Table. Clara is seeing someone but her family and her restaurant come first. She also has full custody of Sofia and Elsa, they are very well mannered and responsible kids. Although Sofia has lack of emotional control now as a young adult, she didn't deal with her parents' divorce very well and she definitely didn't accept her father's behavior after the divorce. So Clara is a happy woman who has moved on and she's living her life to the fullest now. Bjorn on the other hand is a despised sim in my game save. He had a mid-life crisis, left his wife for a young woman Ashley who is slightly older than his daughter Sofia, he's head over heel in love with her, Ashley is too naive to realize what they did to Clara was wrong. Bjorn is her first serious boyfriend. The children did visit their father on occasion and stayed for a sim week at a time. The relationship Sofia has with Ashley is in full red and they are enemies, Sofia had the time to complete half of her mischief aspiration milestones by being nasty to her stepmom. Yeah, Sofia can't stand her, she can't stand the fact that the chick is 22-ish and dates her dad. Shortly after Ashley moved in, she noticed that Bjorn seems to be quite careless about everything, and doesn't have any goal in life. So I don't know what to do with that storyline yet. That's how I ended my story with these 2 households for now. It was hilarious to play with them and they are much more interesting to me as a townies now. Although I should think of them as two of my main households because I did invest so much in their stories. Edited: typos.

[@SimLicy]

Ah I love it! I think story line fits them so well! Thanks for sharing! 💜💜💜💜

[@anouksondagh902]

This is so cool!

[@sisterssayer6666]

Wowwww that’s such a cool story line! I’ve never really thought that the townies lives would be so interesting!

[@sharpmcteague3378]

@@sisterssayer6666 I do rotational play so I have pretty much played with the majority of EA's premade households. One of the reasons why I play this way is because I like to build in the game, especially community lots, so I play with a household for a sim season (14 sim days) or longer to test my builds then once I feel like their story is complete for the time being I move on to the next household, I do it also to understand what their personalities are to build personalized houses/apartments for them. It's really fun.

[@ropadopa4171]

Thats a loooooong comment..

[@purpleguysproxy]

I agree that Bjorn and Clara come across as incompatible. In my legacy save I imagined they'd be the high school/college sweetheart couple who stayed together out of comfort and I made Bjorn cheat on Clara with my sim Camilla. But they stay married for appearances. Haha but anyway I am absolutely in love with this build! The modern extension really brings it together and contrasts the traditional rooms but in a very pleasant way ❤ Also hope you have a wonderful new year!

[@SimLicy]

Ah that’s perfect! That’s exactly how I see them! So happy you like the modern extension 💜💜💜💜

[@marcellamaragno]

I'm in love with this build and I think is my favorite so far! I kinda imagine this would be a Bjorn family home and Clara tried to add the modern touches to look more like her too. And I think they are THE appearence couple, Bjorn being a secret agent kinda looks like it.

[@nalander]

Opposites attract...it’s the glue to their bond.....everyone needs a backbone...nice job!

[@therealtaydev]

i LOVE old homes with modern extensions, i even have your previous two in my game from months ago. I'm excited to see what you'll come up with for the final modern extension homes on the island.

[@JamesFluker]

I think this might be my favourite build of yours. I love the stone house, and the modern extension works so perfectly.

[@shaylaacmarques]

The trick that you did with the coffee table at 11:41 is so Genius!!! I love it so much!

[@alexusp]

I feel like I say this a lot, but this is my favorite build 😍 I would LOVE for my future house (in real life lol) to be like this. I’ve always loved the old but modern style. Ever since I was little. Idk why but I definitely still love it now 😍😍

[@chelseacastro3264]

Amazing! So beautiful. I don't know what your profession is but I feel like you'd make a great interior designer. You really understand home styles, working with what you have, and building a space around the people who live there. Keep up the awesome work!

[@alexiaspicci2027]

Love this house! Regarding the clubs in the game, I think you should totally do a bunch of different clubs and do different members and switch up requirements and names and create your own! The only one that I would like to stay is the paragons, or if you created a new one that is similar to that group!

[@PeachPlaysGames]

So pretty! I feel the same way about the modern houses in the Windenburg island, I like them but I think a rustic tudor is more fitting. I hope you make more of these!

[@SimLicy]

Thank you! 💜💜💜

[@sassie_kay]

One thing that I feel makes you stand out against other builders (apart from how gorgeous your builds are) is that you play test your builds and I for one really appreciate that so thank you so very much for that ❤

[@nighthasfallen456]

A family friend has a house like this, with the old part of the house and the new one, but rather than black and white they did their modern rooms in cream and tan/beige. The old parts have green silk wallpaper and a few antiques with dark wooden furniture and splashes of cream, helping to tie the parts of the house together.

[@tweedlebug123]

This house is soooo beautiful! I'm absolutely in love!! I can't even put it in to words. Also P.S. the League of Adventurers is a Kids-Only club! It's only rules is that only child-sims can join and they like to play on the playground equipment and explore. It's soo adorable xx

[@clairefutrell5089]

I can’t wait for your save file omg. My game is already full of your builds but I can’t wait to see what you do for an entire save file! You are such an incredible builder and I love listening to you during these videos.

[@voiceofdistortedreason5998]

Truly beautiful well styled house. I love old farm house types and the modern extension really adds a lot to it.

[@joannierheaume9811]

Stunning! I'd live there in a heartbeat!

[@thomaspotsbytom6805]

Yesss! A Basement! Lets show some basement love! No one ever includes basements!

[@alyssagaleon480]

I don’t even play sims, but your videos are so fun to watch! I can’t get enough of these adorable homes!

[@MrsXxElisexX]

I really like the way you build your houses, most people usually place all the rooms and then add windows ect. and the roof.

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 💜

[@ashleyhill2958]

I am OBSESSED. I mean it when I say I love every single build you put up. I can’t wait for your save file!

[@SimLicy]

Thank you so much! 💜💜

[@angelacooper6073]

I downloaded this yesterday before I watched the video. I love it! I added a green house in the backyard for my gardener sim :)

[@georginaCsweeting]

I wish I could like this 10x over, so stunning. I'm from England and so many houses look like this these days! I'd happily move in :)

[@gabslucas208]

oh my gosh, like i was only a couple minutes into video and i literally thought wow i love this house, the structure is like nothing i’ve ever seen anyone do in the sims before and i LOVE the traditional style mixed with the modern advancements. Overall an AMAZING build !

[@chloexox5763]

This home is gorgeous! And for the clubs, personally I don’t mind if you completely switch them up and I’d love for some new clubs to be added! It might make me get back into playing with them again!

[@aconyte9388]

THAT COFFEE TABLE IS GENIUS

[@hayleywilliams8938]

yeahh please include the floorplans! I always have trouble figuring out floorplans and i need some inspo. btw this is my FAV build of yours and I never miss an upload!! you're so cool, never stop doing the sims, this channel is awesome!!!!

[@SimLicy]

Aw! Thank you so much!! 🤗💜💜💜

[@marta537]

Hayley Williams for the floor plans i had troubles with fitting rooms bc i usually do small houses, so now i start with the second floor doing all the bedrooms and toilet, then i do the stairs and then i have like 90% done - stairs do your floorplan for you!

[@travisjenkins1290]

This is my absolute favorite build on KZbin

[@juni6381]

Such a wonderful build! I think changing up the clubs makes total sense as you're basically reinventing the worlds and creating/editing sims and such.

[@taylovespatch2]

I reckon do whatever you want to the clubs! It always nice to have refreshing ideas, and I know I'm bad at coming up with new ideas for clubs lol

[@steinaf]

Goodness gracious, this is so beautiful and it's my second favourite build of yours, Simple Family Home being the number one. I'm glad that you're taking your time, your save file is going to be worth the wait.

[@SimLicy]

Aw! Thank you so much! 💜💜💜

[@crystalgriffin2128]

I think a fun idea for this family is that this house was left to them after one of their grandparents passed away and now they’re slowly trying to renovate it to fit their own style. Love the exterior of this house though! So beautiful.

[@amyshillitoe2039]

I'm actually going to download this house when I get home, I've just started the 100 baby challenge and this home is massive and gorgeous and perrrrfect for lots of kids, I'm going to take away the pool and make an outside kids area that's closed off with locked gates for when it gets too hectic haha, I usually make my own but I always download and slightly edit builds for challenges for what I need but I have a feeling I'm barely going to edit any of this I absolutely love it, it's BEAUTIFUL. I find that when women are making the builds I feel like they make them more personalised in the sense that you always make them more of a home and not just a beautiful build its functional.

[@marta537]

I dont really like the mix between modern and old, but oh my god that old part just took my heart, i need to try to build it on my own ❤️

[@Hollow-x-Heart]

I think changes to the clubs would be fine! Also, please please PLEASE build a tiny house if you can!! I would love to see your take on a tiny house. If the tiny house doesn't seem to work for you, maybe some other sort of build associated with sustainable living- converted shipping containers seem like they would suit the island!!

[@tesaelin]

Absolutely beautiful. I love how much you try to consider the characters and their interests into the build. I now really want to play this family.

[@170maddy]

I want university life so much!!! It was probably my favorite sims 3 expansion pack

[@tritter15]

For the family, even if he's a slob and she's a perfectionist, they can still work. My parents are somewhat similiar. My mom is more of a perfectionist while my dad is not necessarily a slob, but isn't as neat as my mom would like him to be. It irritates her, but their other more compatible traits make up for it. Which, personally, makes more realistic sense to me when playing the sims. Not every trait is going to be compatible with each other and that's okay. 😊 Edit :: I kinda figured Bjorn was in the garden gnomes because he was interested in creating a garden for Clara but didn't know where to start. Also, the Leage of Adventurers is just a kids club. Not much else, I think it's cute.

[@lizwoodard7726]

Yeah, I agree with you. I always saw them as like an opposites attract sort of situation.

[@bluebawls]

That garden gnomes bit you added is now my new headcannon for them loll thank you🙏

[@charlie-ot6gg]

i can’t keep thinking about how beautiful this house is, seriously! it’s gorgeous

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 💜💜💜

[@shaimariel]

whenever i see simmers building basements im like “omg that’s so cool i would love a basement like that” but i know for damn sure if i had one i would be the biggest wuss and never go down there, dark basement=haunted or “im suddenly part of a horror movie help”

[@SimLicy]

😂💜

[@gabby6938]

this build is honestly so mesmerizing, i love the mix of traditional and modern, it's soo pretty, good job!

[@averywilson3781]

YEAH!! Make some new clubs and change them up a little bit!! I think it would be cool to something a little different!! And I know you will do a great job in that!! This house is soooooooo beautiful and I wish I had you house building skills!

[@futurecatladysims]

I love this build! It's so gorgeous and unique, and it fits the Bjergsen family so well. It actually inspired me to play with them. I'd love to see you add more relationships and clubs to your save file! It would be so fun:)

[@emilyisawaytoo5146]

Ok so first, this is such a AMAZING build & I feel like you can change all of the club's. Another park would be cool, just it could a dog park or something to switch it up a bit. (Personally I always add a kids club in my game) I also like the idea of a modern extension, I've never even though to do that before.

[@SimLicy]

That’s a really good idea! I don’t think I have ever built a kids club before! 💜💜

[@crow9604]

this was the first video of yours i saw and i still come back to it because it's such a beautiful build

[@c_jade]

You’re builds never cease to amaze me 🥰 thanks for making such beautiful homes for our sims ❤️

[@Cassielle]

omg really love the interior, your way of furnishing and decorating is so enjoyable and natural

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 💜💜

[@natanpeixoto7460]

Couldn't ask for a better house for the Bjergsen's! The mix of old and modern suited them very well. Thank you! 💙

[@kikiwheatz6387]

i would love to see more of these types of old and new blended builds. Yes, please continue to make them. They're great!

[@helenachristinapiuvezam479]

When watching this later in the game, I just realized how right she was on what was coming for the sims 4 lol university, a tropical pack, bikes...

[@y.w.3589]

This house is absolutely stunning!! One of my favourite builds 💕 I love the fact that you put so much thought and backstories for your Sims for the save file

[@emmamurphy9209]

This build is absolutely gorgeous! The downstairs bathroom is so cuuttteeee!!!! Plus all the clutter items looked so good!!! Ahhh I just love it!!!

[@plumdena2709]

i’m genuinely so excited for this save to be finished. im a builder as well&NEVER download anyone else’s lots.(except yours)

[@sumofallthings8403]

I truly love how you did this home. Stunning.

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 😊💜

[@sophiagrace9003]

This house is stunning! I love how much thought and detail you put into it!! 20/10

[@asmontosborne3111]

I haven't even watched the whole video yet, but as soon as I heard "Bjergsen" I literally screamed. They're probably my favourite premades in TS4 (excluding Clara, I never really liked her as much as the others, I once had Clara be really mean to Elsa because I imagined she wanted to profit from her daughter's academic success and Bjorn was fed up with it, so they divorced... in the meantime, Sofia keeps being AWESOME, surely my favourite townie ever). As for clubs (btw, the League of Adventurers is just the children club), do whatever you want, nothing can possibly go wrong, given the way you're handling the save (I might seem ironic. I'm not.). I would love bikes and other "small means of transport" (I think cars would be useless because we don't have open worlds), but mainly a skill revamp. Different types of fitness-related skills (for example boxing with the punching bag, basketball or skating/ice skating) and new careers (or at least more depth) for the minor skills like dancing and photography (they're SO bland right now).

[@SimLicy]

Thank you so much for this comment! I love your ideas! I completely agree, I hope they add more to those skills and current careers! And I can definitely see Clara being kinda mean! 💜💜💜💜

[@lizwoodard7726]

Photography! I was so sure that paparazzi career would come with Get Famous! I totally agree with you on the minor skills having careers.

[@potatomasterhi9911]

I absolutely love this build I feel like every time they get cuter and cuter!!💙

[@ninamodaffari1412]

Girlll you are a master at landscaping. Love this build so much!

[@cheybabyxx]

This is gorgeous! I definitely be interested in seeing what you'd do with the clubs in game for sure. Clara and Bjorn are divorced in my save game. Their marriage was really already on the brink to begin with. They fought all the time and that was not the toxic environment Clara wanted to raise her daughters in so she ended it. Bjorn now lives in a small apartment in San Myshuno and has never bothered to try and see his daughters. Elsa was heartbroken by this and didn't understand why her dad wanted nothing to do with her. Both Sofia and Elsa have a strong relationship with their mother . Sofia grew up to be a very gifted musician and she resides in Del Sol Valley where she's trying to make it big. Elsa is a very well rounded teenager and aspires to be either a doctor or scientist.

[@martyechoes9761]

I don't usually like old style but I am in love with this cottage!

[@MadScientistSoap]

This is the best house you've ever made.

[@siobhane8032]

Beautiful build!! I’ve been binging your videos for the week and love your building style. Have you done a video on what commands/mouse controls you use to clutter? I can’t figure out how you maneuver items on counters and shelves...

[@carelesscloud9816]

Subscribed. Your builds are actually fantastic and your build types are varied instead of just sticking to one style.

[@xGrinkelx]

This house is for sure your best work yet!

[@iidaeveliina563]

I love the old style in this house! Good job!

[@nicoleamico1582]

I just recently found your channel and I’ve been binge watching all your speed builds. You are sooo talented, this is incredible!!

[@qraee]

I think the ivy looks a little funky but it does somehow bring the exterior together

[@daniivlogs]

I'm in awe!!! Your attention to detail is just amazing. Particularly loved how crafty you were with the table in the old living room. Was seriously stunned when you did that trick 😂 Beautiful build as always!!!!!! 😍

[@adrihughes4227]

I love this build! I watch sim supply but wasn't sure about branching out to other sim creators on YT... Very glad I decided to take a look!

[@SimLicy]

Aw! Thank you so much! 🤗💜💜

[@meredithwemhoff9270]

Major improvement from the lot EA gave this family 🤩

[@Meowkin2222]

I absolutely love everything you build! ❤️❤️

[@JudesSims]

I totally love this house. Thinking about where I’d put a toddler bed since I always play generational games. Maybe in one of the girls’ rooms. Anyway it’s one of my fav builds. - JudesSims

[@ECCF1990]

When you duplicated and merged that first coffe table!!! Omg that's beautiful! Great build as usual. It's also so much fun to see what you built for this family, they are one of my favourite families and I built a house for them sone time ago. But that house is so different from yours! I did a more country style with a lighthouse part (since the lot is called the Lighthouse).

[@SimLicy]

Thank you! 💜💜💜

[@HellionInAHoopSkirt]

I love the greenhouse idea! I have a green Sim who would love that!

[@EmmaLieberg]

SimLicy I love this build everything you did in this home just makes me love it more! I like the more old and rustic sort of homey touch and you are one of the BEST sim builders (by far) I’ve ever watched! (Way better than me) Please notice this comment because you and your builds inspire me and your personality is amazing I just started watching you yesterday and instantly subbed!

[@jordenmarie588]

A tiny house would be awesome! Also, a "minimalist" home would be cool to see sometime =) Beautiful build!!

[@dannika8897]

I really love the older house/modern house concept and I feel like this house suits the family so well! I’ve always thought Clara and Bjorn wouldn’t very compatible- they had a bad relationship in my game but kept up appearances for a long time before divorcing (they were both seeing other people in the end) and I think their constant arguing affected Elsa because she isn’t so sweet anymore! I’m ready to beg EA for we some more careers and traits? And a baby update...

[@linneafrangipane5785]

I love the house! But yes, i would also really love to see the floorplans coming together

[@madisonmason8824]

I downloaded this house yesterday after I watched this video I had to come and re watch the video bc it's such an amazing house!

[@ashski1106]

I absolutely LOVE this build. Probably one of my favorites.

[@alayram2929]

Beautiful! I love all the details you used, It really feel like a real and cozy home!! ^^

[@stonecoldsteveaustinfan42069]

this is BEAUTIFUL!! i love the bathrooms and the little cracks and cobwebs. this is full of so much detail and love

[@510kaykay]

This house looks almost identical to my childhood home back in the UK... Other than the modern extension and pool. I love it

[@belle2638]

510kaykay wow you must have had a beautiful house. was it down south?

[@dipper556]

i need to stop watching these at night lol i always get the urge to build when i gotta sleep

[@theTwilightSystem]

I LOVE this! Beautifully done! It will be a great family home.

[@ilovepickles3838]

This has to be my favorite build of yours. Just the outside stunning. I have 5 of the 10 dollar packs I still don’t have yet and once u have all of them I’m going to def download this! :D

[@Dawnfelicis]

Oh my goodness I'm going to play in this house for sooo many generations.

[@jannekeruyter4181]

I really loved this build. Also love the idea of the old house with modern extention! very realistic.

[@abigailhandyside1522]

Your builds are always so perfect!!!! would love to live in this house wow

This was very well done and has to be one of my favs. You are truly talented and creative.

[@GrumpylynnSims]

This is absolutely one of my favorite builds from you! I LOVE IT!! ❤❤❤ Also, I feel like the dining room is big because that's where the living room used to be before the expansion 😉 Dude!! Almost 70k already!!! 👏👏👏👏 So happy for you!!

[@SimLicy]

Thank you!!! And that makes perfect since!! Of course that’s were the living room use to be! 😅👍🏻 I can’t believe 70k is so close!! Thanks for all the support! 💜💜💜💜💜
