Leveling Up the Landgraab's Mid Tier Modern Mansion - Rebuild Like a Nerd

What happens when you take the wealthiest Sims in town and give them a more stylized mansion? This, apparently. What would you use the extra spaces for? Family? Working out? Your frog collection?
This lot is available on the gallery!

"I have nothing against rocks by the way. I think rocks are fantastic." Oh thank God, I'm a rock and I was gonna cancel you.

A little Fun Fact, these Geometrical Gardens you see a lot in modern Homes are actually a Revival of some Sort from the French Gardens which were built during the Baroque. They used actually the same Rules and Forms, just with new and modern materials and Plants. There was an exhibition or was it an Article about an Artist and his Work in a Magazine? Sorry, it was years ago, during my time at University, that I saw it but it is still in my Memory, mostly because it made me realize that the English Landscape Garden is more my taste than this. The Artist of that Work actually replanned some of the Original Gardens in France with new Materials and Plants, he wanted to criticise the thinking of some of his colleagues that they really create something new and unseen. His message was like this: "We do create new Art, but the Rules, most of the aesthetics and even Color palettes were already all used in the Centuries before us, be humble and respect it, so one day we might be able to evolve from it. But we are not there yet!" Oh and it is not only an improvement, but it also gives that Family actually a House in which anyone would want to play ^^ Townies were created so that People who didn't want to use a self-made Sim to play the Sims without using CAS. So it is perfect IMO ;)

[@sahm_and_bean]

That's so interesting! Thank you for sharing!

[@nervosims]

this renovation was so needed! their house was kinda sorta ugly (thanks basegame)

[@sahm_and_bean]

The base game really can be so lovely, but the original home was not a great example of that 😑

[@justkeepsimming365]

Please do the Goth home. This is the first version of The Sims that I haven’t played with the Goth’s at all. Also on the vibe of the Landgraab’s, I would love to see your take on Johnny Zest. I love his mobile home vibe, but it could be done so much better. I love your renovations, and how they make so much sense. It’s great. Also your build tutorials and sharing your knowledge with us without being too teachy or showy, really makes me feel like you just want to share with us, and I am here for it. You have a new subscriber!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you so much for being here! I would love to do the Goths home properly, and I definitely have some ideas for Johnny, too 😉 of course there's only so much time in the day and I have sooo many ideas, but the good news is you guys will be stuck with me for several years while I work through my list of 100 plus video ideas 😬🤣

[@daisyjo88]

I didn’t look inside the Landgraab’s house until Neighborhood Stories came out. Then I had to figure out where to put their babies and pets! This was much needed! Now with Growing Together and house guests, that little guest house will come in handy. I love it.

[@sahm_and_bean]

Fantastic! Yeah, I wonder sometimes why the base game homes didn't have extra rooms when they knew they were going to be adding family based packs and pets 🤔

[@natanpeixoto7460]

The way you approach things is very unique and interesting! I'm loving this renos! I would love to see your rendition of the Goth's manor!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thanks so much for watching! I would also very much like to give them a renovation. The black and red is a vibe, for sure, but I think a little bit of some other color would be good, too 😅

[@pardonyourglove]

Nancy Landgrab is definitely a sad beige mom. This house is perfect for her.

[@avanoellew5525]

It feels like just yesterday when i stumbled on a roof building guide by a channel with a criminally low 100 subscribers and thought, "yeah this channels gonna grow real quick". CONGRATS ON ALMOST 10,000!!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you so much 😭 I can't believe I'm going to go from 100 to 10,000 in less than a year 🙌 what an amazing journey. Thank you for being here 🥰

[@gammavector79]

This is SUCH a gorgeous upgrade, while still keeping the character of the house intact. I've never liked the Landgraab house even though I liked what the devs were going for with it. It just missed the mark a bit, I think in large part because of how limited the build options were when the game first released. I especially like what you did with the windows and with the roofing. The og house had a lack of vertical lines which made it look a bit sad and soggy. Taller windows, losing the floor trim on that big frontal column thingy, and something about the new roofing really fixed that. Absolutely gorgeous! I also really love the new landscaping. The perfectly manicured sod patches fit in so well with the surrounding world AND flex the Landgraab family fortune. Just stunning!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you so much! I had so much fun building this and really wanted to keep it as Landgraab-y as possible.

[@TheDecorista]

This turned out so great and much more high-end looking than the original.

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you!

[@paigeh1670]

I think you did a fantastic job of keeping enough of the old look while improving it and making it much more realistic.

[@Haeronalda]

Thank you very much for creating and uploading this video! I loved their new home and will definitely try to find it when I can play the sims again to admire it in game :)

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you for watching! Enjoy 💙

[@wynneye]

Love this! It's the best Landgraab house renovation I've ever seen!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you! It's definitely the best one I've done 😅

[@taylorlacusta2075]

If i can offer a tip for the recessed platform parts, you can toggle delete mode like with walls, and then you can skip a step and save time! You just need to hold control while you draw!

[@sahm_and_bean]

... you know, somewhere down deep in my brain, I knew that 🤣 Thanks for the reminder! You're right, that would have been a lot easier 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@taylorlacusta2075]

@sahm and bean theres a lot of hotkeys and things to remember, so it makes sense that a few here and there get pushed to the back of out brains🤣

[@Bubelhaftisch]

Oh my god I love it! That landscaping is *chefs kiss* I will be adding this into my remodel of their mansion for sure.

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you so much!

[@MissSophiana]

Just added it to my world!! Trying a generation challenge and the townies are needing an update 😅 very nice!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Thank you!

[@moriahschairer]

I've never looked at their house in game but I definitely like the improvements!!

[@BrittanyySierraa]

Sahm, pls do another video where the Townies deserve better homes!! I LOVE this & I would LOVE if you would choose a world & use the pack(s) that go with it!! Pls! Base game is too boring for me lol. Much love to your videos, your time, & bean!! ❤

[@sahm_and_bean]

I definitely want to do more of these! Once the kid is more settled in his school schedule I'll be back to my "normal" build and rebuild content 💙

[@ihatejellybeans7375]

I love this!!! I have to download this shell and decorate myself. I feel inspired!!!

[@sahm_and_bean]

Do it! It's still one of my favorite shells of all time. Glad you enjoyed!

[@ihatejellybeans7375]

@sahm_and_bean in so glad I found your KZbin channel (I followed your town build series on tiktok) I may have gone on a video bone on KZbin 😅

[@rwolfheart6580]

I'd love to see you rebuild Judith Ward's awful mansion in a future video!

[@sahm_and_bean]

It is on The List™ and I am really looking forward to it as a future Rebuild Like a Nerd video!

[@everunspokendreams]

This is SO beautiful. Such a great job done on the Landgrabbs home! Have you considered Glimmerbrook? or Forgotten Hollow homes?

[@sahm_and_bean]

I've considered many things, but it comes down to time 😅 I'm looking forward to continuing the series though.

[@everunspokendreams]

as does everything come down to time

[@16taysia]

PLEASE DO THE KIM-LEWIS HOUSE NEXT!!

[@sahm_and_bean]

It's tempting. That house is such a mess.

[@16taysia]

@@sahm_and_bean Yeah exactly what I was thinking too and they’re supposed to be a well off family as well! 😂😂😂

[@moonrainchildtv]

Okay, no joke I heard "Looks like Malcolm had blue balls, soo we can give those back..." 🤦🏼‍♀️tired brain strikes again. 😴

[@sahm_and_bean]

Definitely not what I said🤣🤣

[@uuulyanastr]

One of the best renovation ever 🤎🌿

[@sahm_and_bean]

💙💙💙

[@sweattaffy]

It looks great!
