RENOVATING "The Roomies" Home | The Sims 4

Happy Friday loves!
So, I've been eyeing up "The Roomies" house in Oasis Springs for a while. I don't hate it fully, but I just feel like it needed a little help. So with the use of only Base Game and Desert Luxe, I did something. Hope you like it! See you next week!

Aden, please renovate the Spencer Kim Lewis House, its such an eyesore

[@kheevy]

If I'm not mistaken, this household is loosely based on the characters from the American sitcom New Girl. The Sims were given the first names of the characters from the show. Zoe is unemployed because the main character on which she is based is also unemployed at the start of the series. You should absolutely check the show out! Anyhow, I love this build and that you made it so accessible to both all players. Thank you!

[@TownieSimBuilds]

That is so interesting!

[@katiehunt2978]

The sims aren't the same names as the characters (well Jess is played by Zoe Deschanel but that's about it) but yes they are definitely based on the show! 🌻

[@breem2999]

I thought she was a teacher at the beginning of the series.

[@breem2999]

I'd love to see someone build the apartment in New Girl, especially with the co-ed bathroom haha.

[@lyaenidae6798]

I always thought of Zoe Patel as a teacher because of this inspiration for their characters ☺️

[@kismet_sims]

I absolutely love this! I'd love to see you fix that monstrosity in Willow Creek where the Spencer-Kim's live. That house has such potential and it just is terrifying, even for EA.

[@micib169]

Omg yes! What IS that house?!

[@sherrybrissette1614]

@@micib169 A nightmare! I HATE that house.

[@DevonBumpkin]

I don't know if I have a strong enough stomach to work on that house just yet...

[@iamBriii]

If you’re talking about the house that’s across from the goth’s house then let me tell you something interesting. 😭 so I’m playing as a male sim rn and I basically convinced Bella to Marry me and left the teenagers, Alexander and Cassandra with Mortimer and moved in Kennedi and Brandie (their other 2 kids), with us. So I’m playing my game and I decided to edit another lot, and I went to manage the world and saw that the Spencer-Kim’s now live in the goth’s house and the goth’s lived in that house across from their old mansion. I thought it was a little crazy and funny

[@TownieSimBuilds]

I really appreciate how you kept the shell intact while honoring the style with a more contemporary/brutalist vibe! I've seen a lot of Simmers attempt a renovation, and it's pretty much an entirely new lot with a floorplan and style that is so different it doesn't even feel like the same lot. LilSimsie does a good job at keeping this balance as well. Awesome job!

[@cmajalis]

I love how you kept the old style of the house while updating it to your own taste. It looks so much better! If you are taking suggestions I'd like to see your version of the Partihaus household in Windenburg. It's supposed to be a colorful party place but some choices about that house are baffling...

[@morgaine2005]

This is such a CLASSY renovation - I love it! If you're thinking about renovating other EA houses, maybe the Landgraabs' house could be a good option? Yes, it's huge and terrifying, but with all the packs, it could become something quite fun! Or at least have less wasted space ...

[@neveholmes1033]

I always imagined that J’s family own the house so he lives there for free and rents it to his friends. Love the build Aden!! X

[@XenIsWhen]

I'm always using full edit mode to give J a dad who's really high up in a lucrative field and wishes his son were more like him.

[@rebeccaburns8381]

The roomies lot is ATROCIOUS! I'm excited to see your classy renovation 🙌

[@simsationalstoriesau]

To be fair what EA build is good 😂

[@rebeccaburns8381]

@@simsationalstoriesau very true 🤣

[@afroborilafemme]

Desert Luxe was like an Oasis Springs update because it sure inspired me to update almost every single Oasis Springs EA build in my game. Lol

[@purplecosmonaut]

Loved everything about this except maybe for the bedrooms 😅 The tiny, all the way to the top windows just made them look so dark and uninviting. If I lived in a bedroom where all the windows are so high up that I can't look outside, I'd go crazy. Zoe's bedroom looked a bit too old/dark/traditional for the kind of vibes she gives (more modern city girl). But that said that kitchen and the living room both looked so, so good!

[@clarabohlin3652]

This house is actually a remake of a house in the sims 3 basegame, which used to be my absolute favourite house to play in back in the day. Super fun to see you redo this one, bring back a lot of memories!!!

[@JP-fx5ei]

That moment when you just finish preparing dinner, sit on the couch, check KZbin, and the first video that shows up is a newly posted video… LETS GOOOO❤🎉

[@andreamyob9458]

That looks a million times better. Not sure what the Sims were going for with the Roomies. Some kind of sitcom gone wrong.

[@jessica1580]

Exactly.. that sitcom would be “New Girl” 😂

[@Leah09Anius]

I think a revamp of one of the mansions in del sol valley! That world literally never gets played and those house are sooooo basic😩😂xx

[@NextToToddliness]

Love this remodel. My only complaint was not tucking the toilets away. It might be the interior designer in me, but the porcelain throne shouldn't be the first thing a person sees when they walk into a bathroom. That being said, these aren't real houses, with real people. Great content! 🌵👽

[@kieran911]

This is such a great improvement! I like how it was more of a renovation than a complete redo, it looks so amazing and the style is perfect

[@kittykattadam7564]

I love how gorgeous you have made this, keeping all the tones similar well also giving each bedroom a similar soft vibe but still individual. You are very talented to make base game work so well for this household.

[@Souurpatch]

Please do more family homes with with the base game, expansion, and packs furniture! I loved this because it’s so more useful without extra cc we may not have. 💕

[@Souurpatch]

Thanks for the ❤️. This was the 1st video I saw of yours and subscribed instantly. I love the humor and the slight glances at the camera. The shadddeeee honey 😂😩💀

[@Simbecile]

I flopped over here to see your renovation and I'm for it. I'm absolutely for it.

[@Stephy-653]

The look of disgust you made at the fact that it was the 'Roomies' house made me laugh. This is such a classy version of this house, its a great reno because you havnt just got rid of everything you can still look at it and be like oh its that lot.

[@P0LAR_droid]

I'd love to see the Price house redone (in Copperdale).. even though it is a really nice house I feel like you could do a lot with it! Also redoing them in CAS as well because the outfits are an absolute disaster 😂

[@piperbeeep]

these videos are so satisfying!! It's amazing the transformation that takes place without even changing the floorplan

[@Msbabs31]

Been catching up on watching your videos. Quite a bit behind, been crazy busy, went back to college! Decided to get a degree in forensic science. All my other college course for business degree transfer over to new degree program, so all I have to do is take all the forensic/criminal justice classes, about 8, and I'm done! How cool is that?! Fun classes!

[@keliciaigbinazaka4538]

Only about 8 minutes into this vid but just wanted to say how HAPPY I was to see this video pop up- I literally started working on this lot the other day (with 4 new sims) and was really struggling with how to make it look good so this is definitely great inspiration especially in terms of changing the roof/outside areas! I also only have the base game and desert luxe so I’m really happy that you decided to stick with that too!

[@sculptureofsound2]

Idk but something about you and whiny brit's accents make your content extra satisfying to watch

[@breem2999]

This looks SO much better! But what kind of dishwasher would be able to afford to live here?? lol

[@louiepop]

This is actually beautiful and you're like an interior designer who is considering the opinion of their client each and every part of the renovation 🤣 love it

[@mc4dj1304]

I love the roomies house. I’ve used it in every generation of my legacy family. Renovating it as we go. I made the outside courtyard a raised platform for my 4th generation sim who was a concert pianist

[@wzrdlight5900]

I’ve been hoping you’d do something with this household. I cant believe its actually happening. I should manifest winning the lotto next.

[@MissSimReno]

You’re a brave, brave soul to renovate this house. Bless you, love.

[@angsanadwi]

Oh i love this so much.. this is how renovation should be.. you don't need to bulldoze and rebuild a new house unless you build it on empty lot ❤❤❤

[@coffeecookies286]

Love that it’s just basegame and free pack. Your builds are great❤

[@TheMikZino]

I love it, and I really loved how you kept the floor plan. One of the better ones that EA did ;) The roof is SO MUCH better now! I absolutely love the concrete and I wouldn't mind it if it was used more in all of Oasis Springs. It seems as if it was made to revive Oasis Springs IMO. As for the next reno if you want to do one, I agree with Heather Patchett, do the Spencer Kim house. I would love to see what you do with that one! 😜 Thank you for all you do, it is so much fun to watch your videos.

[@cherry_333]

take a shot every time Aden says ‘greenery’ 😂

[@ChynaCatxD]

So stressed out working retail this holiday season and suddenly you end up on page. I binge watch you and BOOM! You become my absolute favorite KZbinr. You make me smile so big and your voice has a way of making the stress disappear. Plus your builds, characters and storytelling is so much fun. Thanks, love.

[@luckyheather2807]

Sooo much nicer and I love the use of the Desert Luxe pack, gorgeous interior and thoughtful bedrooms. Very Inspiring to watch you 🙂😘

[@ayou2470]

Happy new year! It’s so good to see your renovation. Thank you for the great video.

[@bohuslav5019]

well, that's certainly a lot nicer than what I did with this house. Yours is fabulous. I turned mine into a prison...because paparazzi are illegal in my world so that's where they go.

[@lindadeuville1483]

What a lovely home. You made it work, it's so much better than what was there before. You are a master.

[@ibuprofriends]

in LOVE with this build. im so glad i found your channel!

[@yarniesilver]

i adore all your videos but your renovation vids are some of my fave!! helps me see what i’m doing wrong with my builds and i love a bit of sims 4 shade

[@manumemanu]

That was really fun! I was surprised that you like the layout of this house. I always find it weird. There's another friend group house that I would love to see you renovate, that Partihaus in Windenburg. Could be a challenge, but you would turn it into something amazing, for sure.

[@yourfriendhashy]

this is the first time ive actually seen this house somehow but i love the nuclear bunker chic upgrade.... so good x

[@rebecca9492]

Aden was so excited for you to redo this one. I always dislike the roof too but the furniture didn't make since for a modern home. You made it look so much better that EA's I idea for a house to redo is the Dresden House in Windenburg it really needs a Devonbumpkin Reno.

[@dantesrebellion]

I've always liked the layout of this house, and I love this! :)

[@keraleam]

This house looks like it’s inspired from a base game one from the sims 3 ! It was my absolute favorite house

[@JessBijoux]

Chic nuclear bunker - i'm crying 😂 love your vids ❤

[@thecozynook]

You’ve done wonders remodeling this lot!!

[@sarkavlckova9439]

Really cool renovation and also I loved the rules. :) Please do more of these basegame ones, it is great to refresh my world with them. You are my favorite simmmer, your builds are uniqe and your commentary is priceless. Love you!

[@miaallen6119]

PLEASE do the landgraab house! Fucking DREADFUL

[@stevenspecht001]

You are such a delight and this was very enjoyable to watch :)

[@nadinebasha7877]

This is freaking gorgeous! You’re a genius! ❤

[@autumnbyrd3009]

I feel like a part of me has been waiting for you to renovate this one, and you did not disappoint (you never do really!)

[@trueloveVIP]

i just found your channel right now, i LOVE your style this build looks amazing. you have great taste in colors and design. beautiful work!

[@gumisora]

Its beautiful! ❤ I like how you keep everything base game and free. I really wanted to do the same, but I finish building a new house 😂😂

[@HanaB81]

I just found your channel, and I absolutely adore you! And I love your builds!!! I am so hooked to your channel!! 😘😘🎉

[@vrypreshus]

As always Aden I really like this build! Even though it is base game it looks amazing. Have a wonderful day love!

[@Alid223]

Loved the build!! And your voice is so calming!

[@honeysuckelbabe]

This is the first video of yours I've seen and I love your voice it's fancy with character. Very fun and calming to listen to 🥰

[@micib169]

I just renovated this house yesterday before the video came up, inspired by your older video where you only used Base Game and Desert Luxe kit and did the Adobe style ☺️ it turned out so good!! I put the exact same fireplace in the exact same place 😅 And this was great too, love the use of platform!

[@chromedend]

One of my favourite houses to renovate!

[@retrored-be2mj]

i just now realized that the reason why i love this house layout so much is bc it reminded me of a house id always play in when i played in sunset valley in sims 3, its called modernehaus and its got the same center outside area and the similar almost w roofing! i loved that house with all my heart.

[@scottadams8202]

You did such a great job !

[@rawmilk905]

You did a lovely job with this. I just moved this household to San Myshuno straight away and converted that massive house into a vet clinic.

[@Val_Far]

You have such good taste! Very good work.

[@issaissachur8077]

Lol i was dozing off while watching this and suddenly when he said "microwave" that woke me up completely out of my slumber. He pronounced it exactly how nigella lawson said it. 😂😂😂😂

[@nancyngoasheng7806]

Watching this video made me realise how we have opposite taste when it comes to home renovations. I honestly didn't like it at first but you coordinated things so well and made me more open minded. This turned out beautiful.

[@menabuchnersixdegreesofsimming]

Love this renovation!

[@edwincarrillo4682]

[@anthonyhosea8780]

Marvelous, Dahling!! 👏🏾😸

[@khWaage]

Nice! I'm gonna try this myself as my game is fixed

[@Caro2Late]

It looks so cool!!! As for what I'd like to see.. I don't know which house should be next, I'll leave that up to other people. But the roomies themselves could do with a makeover perhaps?

[@lisaspelarthesims]

Thank you for doing this!!!!!

[@highfive7689]

Yes - use CC by all means, pls. And since you were asking for suggested lots. There are three Mediterranean style mini mansions in Oasis Springs ( if my failing memory is correct ) that are begging for your touch. I can see you making a mix of ultra-modern with old world gothic and another mediaeval with maybe prairie-style. All sorts of style to surprise us. You're so talented that you can pull it off and with CC it would just burst into life. Thanks making your home. 😸

[@annazett3164]

Basegame houses I'd like to see bumpkinfied? Erm... All of them?! Hmm, but maybe Johnny Zest's home. You know, the trailer home in Oasis Springs. I'd really like to see your take on that one!

[@stephicozar]

Amazing! Would love the Oasis Springs Bar to have a reno. And the Spencer Kim Lewis house!

[@lynfletcher7744]

hey devon .. the outside wall and furniture colour matches your top lol

Nice! I will check it out in game :)

Classic element's of modernistic mid-century. It would be very common to see something like it in Palm Springs.

[@justynaaleksiejuk1802]

I would like to see the Landgraab mansion renovated. It looks like a nightmare!

[@vbutnotforvendetta]

This house is a vibe!!! You did a splendid job!! I know you redid the Goth house in Let's Build The World's but I would love to see you do it again in a more a Gothic/Victorian style with no pack restrictions!!

[@slashedbeauty]

So fun to watch this because Mitchell & Zoe play a huge part in my current family's life, and the step siblings of my current teen live in this home so I did a lot of refurnishing to it myself because EA, what is this?? LOL

[@michlyntyres]

Great job, really like the new roof, the other one was awful.The living space is excellent.

[@krazymunki54]

i love this house

[@Lovlyb35]

Love this renovation and I would like to see you renovate Spencer-Lewis household, that house is not my cup of tea and I have tired renovating it and failed.

[@sarahkamarudin5041]

I want “Main Reasons Being” to be a merch! ❤

[@funkybenj23]

So glad you say microwave correctly 😂😂

[@ronathebear]

I really wish you had changed the windows in the bedrooms. I like the theme you went for but the windows give it too much of a prison vibe… Almost like they have their individual prison cells 😂

[@ainp9573]

i renovated this house recently too! i personally have always hated the small windows and the roofing > ~
