How To Build a MID CENTURY MODERN Like a Nerd - Base Game In-Depth Sims 4 Building Tutorial

Come build a Midcentury Modern with me! The "Mid-Mod" is found across the US and even the world, with its geometric shapes and low profile becoming near instant hits. This home was primarily built in the late 1940s through the late 1960s, but new constructions still borrow from or straight up follow this style regularly. Hallmarks of this architectural style include floor to ceiling windows, low profiles, asymmetry, and a dedication to not standing up the surrounding landscape. These family friendly homes will place perfectly in Oasis Springs, but can be built anywhere with the right styling and consideration for climate. If you find this video awesome, please leave a like and let me know what style you would like to see covered!

you’ve enlightened me with the half walls in the backyard, that’s so creative. I’m going to make breeze blocks!!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Do it!!! I've seen a few other builders make those and they look fabulous.

[@callmeobsequious]

Loved learning the difference between modern and contemporary, I actually had no idea! So many popular Sims builders refer to contemporary as modern... Huh! The more ya know. This is why I'm subbed lol.

[@sahm_and_bean]

Almost everybody calls contemporary modern! It makes sense, because we use modern to refer to anything popular in the modern day, but being a nerd of course I have to make sure that I'm being super correct 😅 and plus it's just fun to understand what the differences are.

[@moriahschairer]

Yessssss ❤️ I needed something to watch with my fresh cup of coffee

[@Necromancer0225]

I've only seen your minute micro homes shorts till now but I'm excited to see an in depth tutorial!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Welcome! The micros are based on these videos, but as you can see I've fallen behind on that project haha and have just been making the full size ones.

I’ve been looking for an eichler inspired home guide for ages, this is so cute

[@fridgeghost4017]

I have to use move objects to get the windows to place but it’s still a lovely build!

[@heatherfoofoo]

Built this one as well and was great fin decorating the interior! Thanks again

[@sahm_and_bean]

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and finding them easy to follow 💙 I also notice you commented on two very different videos, so kudos on expanding your build style!

[@Andy.5325]

Liked and subscribed!! One of your newer video popped out on my recommendation. So I checked your channel and watched this one. Love the content on your video! As a long time base game player I appreciate that you made this base game friendly! ❤❤❤

6:57 why oh why didn’t I know this technique until now.. maybe I should go through all your roof videos too alongside edit: On a side note, it is kind of weird, the modern/contemporary divide. On the one hand, I get the distinction. On the other.. the word modern and contemporary means technically the same thing. But somehow modernity is now a name for a relatively bygone age..

[@sahm_and_bean]

Isn't it fascinating how a word can mean so many things? I was also reading up on Goth/Gothic, which are two more terms used interchangeably that mean completely different things. Gothic architecture was at its peak hundreds of years ago, the goth movement started in the 1980s, and the only real overlap they have is Gothic buildings were often used in Goth album covers 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Manas-co8wl]

@@sahm_and_bean That is so interesting! I too thought it was the same thing, united by a sense of eeriness and "haunted" quality, dracula style. I always thought that's where the goth styles came from, good to know it's not necessarily the case. In hindsight, I suppose it should've been obvious to me that the historic Gothic style was not meant to be haunted.. 👻

[@moriahschairer]

Thank you for the lights ❤️ and now my two favorites are the Italianate and Mid-Century Modern. But I've always loved Mid-Century Modern. I loved Italianates too but forgot. 😆

[@sahm_and_bean]

That's so funny because they're so different! Then again, they are both definitely very recognizable.

[@moriahschairer]

@@sahm_and_bean I know 😂 I like tall ceilings and both of them have that so maybe that's why. 🤷‍♀️😆

[@KKAPVATEACHERS]

What web site is this .

[@sahm_and_bean]

I'm building in the game The Sims 4. Unfortunately it was a while ago I produced this video so I don't remember if I mentioned a specific website beyond Pinterest, which should be linked in the video description.
