Lighthouse Family Home || The Sims 4: Speed Build

[@chromedend]

I have been watching sims content online for countless years, from many different creators from all over the world and each with their own building or gameplay style... this is probably top 3 in my favourite buildings I've ever seen on youtube. It's just gorgeous in every way. You can just tell how much you love it too!

[@Emily-gc7hz]

came here to say the same thing!!

[@user-cf6oi1ou8h]

I haven’t even seen the build but I can feel from the thumbnail you’re probably right

[@SimLicy]

@@chromedend I just saw this now. Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment 🥰💜

[@reebsk6037]

I was one of the lighthouse requesters, and this is above and beyond my expectations!!! You fixed my sim slump. I love the story, and instead of making the wife hate children im gonna get a "hates dogs" personality trait mod and have the child bring a dog. Its the only thing he has left that he loves and obviously she's not gonna say no, but the tension is there and it'll be perfect!!!!! Thanks Dawn

[@catterin7815]

Maybe she was unable to have children of her own

[@moni13000]

I actually like that you put the coat rack and stuff in the “back” of the house. Cause I feel like these are homebodies and probably don’t have a lot of visitors so they probably don’t leave their house very often. Except for when they’re going out to the light house or fishing, which I imagine they use their back door for. I really love this build. There’s so much personality and it works so well. The floor plan makes sense and flows really well, even tho it’s not an open concept build. Sometimes I get stuck with smaller builds, cause too many walls makes it feel claustrophobic. But cape houses are meant to be this way and you really did such a good job of making it feel homey but not cluttered. I live in New England, so this style of home is pretty common along the coast here. I think you definitely nailed it! Can’t wait to download it.

[@theafic3833]

Somehow the sims story reminded me a bit of the series anne with an e. Even though the plot and circumstances are very different, with a pair of siblings taking in an orphan to help them with the farm. I love the building by the way ☺💙

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

It's not different at all lol. Just a couple of details, i.e. the couple is married instead of siblings and it's a lighthouse not a farm. It's too similar to not have come from the show's inspiration.

[@MVinyM]

@@lilmissmonsterrr I couldn't agree more.

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

@@MVinyM idk why she didn't just say it was inspired by the show. I don't like when people take credit for other people's ideas. It says a lot about a person's character, imo.

[@Vociferoustart]

This is beautiful! Also in game we can assign either door as the "front door" where sims will knock and stuff. :)

[@skyechimes658]

I was curious, so I googled, it could be either Yaquina Bay or Hecata Head, the fact that Oregon has two different lighthouses with urban legends about missing girls is …uh…something. This is such a beautiful build!

[@aprlou]

As she was describing the story I distinctly remembered having the same uneasiness as a young girl hearing about the missing girl at Yaquina Bay!

[@saltysesa]

Yeah, I was thinking about Yaquina Bay... I remember there being something about that on the tour. You might be right about Heceta Head, but it would have been the home, not the lighthouse right?

[@heatherwarner865]

This looks like it came from the magazine House Beautiful...absolutely amazing and realistic.

[@stefanie7823]

I’m an Oregon girl too ☺️ The lighthouses there are so beautiful, but after living on the East Coast for so long now, I can say there is definitely something special about the ones here too.

[@kat1114]

I am completely in love with this build. It is soooo beautiful and I can't wait to make a couple to live here!! I see a challenge for my daughter and I with a fisherman light house keeper and his proper wife who loves to paint, knit and do crafts! So fun!!! thanks

[@MindiiSimii]

This is easily my favorite home of yours! I live not far from a lighthouse, and I love to visit it and take my children to visit. This is so realistic! Your thumbnail just caught my eyes! It’s beautiful and realistic. I love it

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 😊

[@AzuraBlackHeart]

Maybe it's because of the tall part on the side but I kept thinking of the Edith Finch house when you were building this. That would be a great challenge for you to do, because it's kind of a shanty town house. All different rooms added at different times, look it up! 😁

[@BalBuzzard0]

This is lovely and so full of details, the landscaping is just great. The storyline you came up with really makes me want to play in this house and i'm like you i never play, i just build things. Thank you so much for this

[@lizlaboy6053]

I’ve been watching Sims content for 5 years straight. I’m a console player and have always dreamed of the day that I could finally get a laptop or a PC so I could play to my hearts content and download all the amazing builds I’ve seen all these years and even though I can download the builds to my game, its just not the same. I always want to change something about the builds and have different ideas for them ,and when I say always I mean ALWAYS! But this time its different,sooo different that I cant even believe my self. This is the most amazing and beautiful build I have ever seen . I wouldn’t change a thing or add a thing. It makes me want to jump through the screen and be there for real life. Thanks for the amazing build and for always giving your best in every single video you upload. I always knew you where an amazing sims builder but today you went up and beyond. Keep up the amazing work.

[@olivialangbehn2895]

this looks like a house in an edward hopper painting, so beautiful

[@gabbybehr183]

This is amazing!!! All your builds are so creative and unique!!🙂🥰😁

[@raysommer8569]

This reminds me so much of the short play I studies in English class back in high school called the "Lighthouse Keeper's Wife". Only of course this is MUCH happier then that tragedy was

[@CoffeeQween91]

WOW! I adore this lighthouse build! Its so so pretty & unique. Love the neutral coatal furnishings too. Your coastal builds lately are just fantastic, I can just imagine myself living in one of these houses by the ocean! Also really like the storyline of the prim & proper lady and her lighthouse keeper husband who's a little more rough & rugged and i can imagine him with a few more wrinkles by being by the ocean and the salty sea breeze on his face.

[@LucielZ1]

Your interior decoration skills are amazing. Amazing. I'm a freaky when it comes to this stuff. Almost every house I download, I end up redecorating the 80% of those houses, because the colour palette they use is everywhere. They end up using the first thing they find......... But yours, none. You have a sense of composition and color distribution very, very solid. A very uniform stytle.. as it should be.

[@forgetleenot]

This home is perfect! It would be such a dream to spend time in such a cozy home, gardening and looking out at the view all day!

[@oilinmylamp]

Stunning and so many details. This build deserves an award.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

I agree Dawn this is one of your best builds, the house, the landscaping and everything else is so perfect

[@SimLicy]

Thank you 😊

[@Sabamonster]

Paintings capture the "Feeling" of the house where as images show you just the house. You're getting the emotions and inspiration that the artist was feeling when they painted it. Makes perfect sense to me that you'd prefer those over images. Either the paintings you are referencing are superbly well done, or you're very attuned to art, or both! Either way, I'd say that's a great thing.

[@salmanatour6532]

I have no idea how I ended up here lol Fell asleep watching lil simsie and woke up to this video

[@sarhakuri1201]

I’m so in love with this build and the story!!

[@maidenminnesota1]

WOW! I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast after just seeing the thumbnail! This is amazing! I have to download this. It's too good to pass up!

[@melissah6235]

Your build videos are so enjoyable because I like the stories you tell about the sims that live in the houses.

[@silthulhusims9594]

I love the storyline of this build, gives me major Anne of Greengables vibes! The build is absolutely stunning and I look forward to your CC coastal build as well, you really nail this style perfectly! 💜

[@fergieseyebrows]

not to undermine your other builds but i think you are absolutely right! this amazingly beautiful. please bring more builds inspired by paintings. it's so so beautiful

[@Jadenorsmth]

Wow...just wow. I don´t have words for this. It´s just... gorgeous!

[@kumisims5244]

Ah!!! I found you!! I just got into sims 4 again after years of not playing, and was looking for this sims 4 creator of houses that has the best interior designs like; that make it looks like really lived in. Glad I found you again!

[@squeeks06]

I grew up going to the Oregon coast too! I absolutely love visiting lighthouses!

[@novalinnhe]

I've had this in my Watch Later playlist for ages, and was so happy to finally get a chance to sit down and watch it. This is just beautiful! Homes which make use of unusual landmarks or features are always my absolute favourites, and this was no exception. I agree with all the commenters that you can tell this is one of your favourite builds! :) Beautiful as always xx

[@colechapman6976]

This is one of my favorite builds from you! It's just so stunning

[@samueld6899]

When I say I am absolutely in love with this build, I mean it! I don’t think I’ve seen a build this gorgeous. It’s everything I never knew I needed.

[@Bstrang104]

I am completely obsessed with this build! Wow, it is just BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@potternutmania]

Wow the landscaping looks so natural and immersive. Love this build and the story for it!

[@laurenann4]

Cottage Living and Cats & Dogs go together beautifully! Such a gorgeous build 💗

[@alisakumm9165]

This really looks like it belongs on this lot and it fits snugly into the landscape. The house is simply gorgeous, and the lighthouse beautiful. You've put so much work into the landscape, too, and it really shows. Most of all, though, I loved the story of the family that you imagined to live here. Everything just comes together to form a home, with a place, a family, and a story. Beautifully done! 🥰

[@SandyCarey]

A beautiful oceanfront build including a lighthouse. Love it.

[@CHRowan73]

I love this build! I am no builder but I can tell the large amount time you put into this fine build. The story to go with it is original and inspires me to play the game, which I haven’t felt in a long time.

[@amaelle5855]

Was a big sims fan but lost total interest 6 months ago...and girl ! your tumbail worked on me ! It looked magical and I watched your video (beautiful build too btw) ! Thanks ! Now I just want to have this build and create a new family for it !

[@antonia4996]

Oh my God, this is the most perfect thing I've ever seen!

[@verylindsay3289]

This is my favorite build you've ever done and the story you came up with is phenomenal!!!

[@anonymous92126]

I know this build was like 6 months ago, but I've been on a sims hiatus and only got around to watching this now. Incredible atmosphere here, truly. I do have to say though, doing some gameplay even just for a couple of days might change a little the way you build. It might not be a bad idea to do a dive into live mode every bigger expansion. Even if you playtest builds, sometimes on longer gameplay sessions you notice things that aren't maybe too optimal, like in tight spaces having too much clutter done by MOO can make sims just teleport all around the place and even more when there are multiple sims on lot. It's not really the fault of the build as much as just the routing AI not having any patience. This will almost always also result in routing related LE's and the T-pose reset happening more and interrupting gameplay. And talking about the jumping camera... Having terrain, platforms (especially platforms) and some live edit objects make the camera go crazy. And yes, it does effect gameplay as well, you really gotta find the right angles to play from where the camera doesn't have to go through that area to avoid it happening. Hopefully these tips may help either you or someone else who mainly focuses on building. That being said, love this build and I will definitely be adding it to my main save file just for immersion and beauty, even if I won't be playing in it. ♥

[@MuseBlack]

This build just set a new standard in my opinion. So beautiful omg you’re so talented !!!!

[@Su-mx7ix]

I’d love to see a less country-looking coastal 😍 The style here seems to be leaning more towards country/ranch than coastal, especially the kitchen. A modern coastal would be fantastic 😍

[@kaylamartin9301]

Your thumbnail picture is literally perfect for this build! 🤤

[@MurvenJG]

Gorgeous build looks just as magical as a painting. It gives me Studio Ghibli vibes too. Love the story!!

[@astrasillage]

The storyline you came up with is sooo cute and interesting, now I really want to play with this home.

[@stacyklug588]

I haven't wanted to download a build so much in a very long time. One of my favorites! I won't change a thing about it! I wish I was as talented as you. You're amazing!

[@pepperthecat1384]

what a stunning build! and the thumbnail literally took my breath away!

[@carterscalf5674]

wow so impressive and i love the space for the man in the lighthouse

[@lilfriendlyapricot7150]

This has to be one of my favorite builds you have ever done! It’s absolutely gorgeous, I also love the storyline. definitely going in my game!

[@NollTheBard]

I could see the wife of this family being a supernatural sim, explaining why she’s such a loner and why she doesn’t want or can’t have a child of her own. I could imagine a beautiful vampire who can’t stand the youth of any generation younger than hers, or a mermaid who just can’t have children with a human, or a ghost family and its just the Maitlands from Beetlejuice

[@valentina_melethiel]

I love all your buildings but… This is honestly beyond beautiful!!!

[@columbia2635]

Considering what an absolute pain in the tushie it is to work with those curved walls (I really want to love them!), nothing but admiration here!

[@alliandra5011]

I love that build. It’s honestly really beautiful.

[@kathryngal3]

Idk how this appeared on my suggested watches- but here it is. And I am in love! I (not a writer) started writing a story- and the main character has a home with a lighthouse, not an official career for the character, but a home that has this beautiful lighthouse as part of it. And all of the kid relatives who come to visit and are enamored with the house and the lightroom and all. I have a LONGGG way to go but this Sim home is so fantastically close to the picture in my head. ❤❤❤❤

[@alessandrohidalgo4120]

This house is gorgeous!! 😍 I love it so much! 🥰😊

[@kaylashae5406]

This is by far my favorite build of yours. It’s gorgeous! Fabulous job!

[@balaclavanthem]

This is absolutely breathtaking

[@GuilhermeFelixLeite]

You're the best! The build is amazing, and the storyline that you thought, just made me want to open my game and create this family immediately. I loved it so much.

[@mayahsworld.]

Omg ur like the best Sims 4 builder that i know ofcourse.Your builds are so lovely and my type of builds it's my style.Especially clutters and plants.I find your voice very calming and so when I watch ur videos i alway have my volume up.

[@mindyyyyyp.3480]

I know that others have already said this but after following your content for so long, this is one of the prettiest builds I’ve seen on your channel! I love the storyline and everything ❤️

[@LizardBrick]

There is something nostalgic about the ambiance of this build for me. I don’t know why, but it feels comfortably familiar.

[@bjorngladh3671]

This gives off so much brindelton bay light-house vibes😻😻

[@missDoubleU1]

The first image of this build is absolutely gorgeous! Haven't watched the rest of the video yet but I'll be downloading this build!

[@dory5598]

this have to be the most beautiful build i’ve ever seen 🤩 i want to live there so bad

[@ericamcreynolds5710]

In Australia we have a show called round the twist. Mysteries for a family who live in a lighthouse. I love rounded walls but they're so buggy at the moment. This build is stunning Dawn you've done such a wonderful job.

[@Dean_W1nchester.]

I know this is an old video, but this build inspired a book I’m writing! So thank you!

[@hannacharlotteb]

aww the story is so cute and well thought through

[@nruthw1998]

One of your best builds I’ve watched! Love the Way you landscaped and decorated here❤️😊

[@hishow5246]

Such a beautiful build as always, Simlicy! But while you were talking about the story behind the family that you imagined living here, I was totally reminded of the Netflix show “Anne with an E”! It’s such a similar story to this one, and the family sort of live near a costal area, so I totally recommend you watch it!

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

I think she did and just changed a couple of small details. Not sure why she'd claim it as her idea though. It's not unusual to take inspiration from media.

[@sadieisarts]

Definitely one of my new favorite builds ever!

[@legaultmichelle1984]

I’ve just come across a couple of your videos and I’m in awe of your talent! This is truly amazing! I’m hooked!

[@loribrochu5939]

This build is really beautiful. It is probably one of my favorite ones that you have done so far. It's really different. I can't wait to download it in my game. Thank you for such wonderful builds :)

[@samanthakrogg4247]

I really love this one. I love lighthouses as well so this hits all the marks for. I also really like the backstop fir the sims. Normally I don't care about that as much but I'm really drawn to this one and the gorgeous build. I'm definitely going to download this!!

[@mwcdls]

This is the most beautiful lighthouse build so far. I also thoroughly enjoyed the story you seeded. Will definitely play along it :)

[@Lauren-227]

This build is definitely one of your top ones. So pretty ! I love it ♥

[@kieranstephenson3187]

This build is stunning! I love all the detail and thought put into everything; it looks properly lived in too with all the decorations! Also I feel that if the game looked more realistic it would become very difficult to tell whether this was a photo or something from the game. Very well done!

[@suehunt6362]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

[@madhbh]

This build is incredible! I love all the effort you put into their personalities, they are very unique!!

[@ferrypanda]

Beautiful! This is the best build I’ve ever seen 😍

[@latoyabrown9107]

I think I want to be a lighthouse caretaker now, That couple's life sounds delightful.

[@magpie1460]

What a beautiful build! Was blown away by how perfectly you matched the inspiration painting. I definitely want to download and explore the storyline you came up with :)

[@dannikaundomiel6244]

I've watched every one of your videos for like...6 years(ish) and this one is REALLY up there in my favourites omg! I love the story of the sims too, I'd love if you made them??

[@S0L0R027]

Another fabulous build! I can see you’ve put so much thought and time in to this. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@RayyRayyRAWr]

Love the Americana, beach’s vibes - reminds me of the outer banks here in my home state of NC. There are quite a few unique lighthouses along the coast line ❤️

[@kailine3008]

this build is so beautiful and so charming it inspired me on how my current sim's storyline would go. gotta download this immediately! 😃

[@cuprite3430]

This looks so beautiful omg. I really like the storyline too

[@rachelwolfe1751]

This is absolutely gorgeous.

[@jayneftgbros8774]

Fabulous build! If I could I would like this 100 times

[@Soulsistersims]

Wow thats so beautiful. I love Lighthouses....❤

[@tapsfan2]

I love your storyline! Perfect build too👍

[@leaoraissa]

I’m in love with this build! You’re so talented. And I love the storyline you had in mind, I’d love to read a book along those lines

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

You can, it's called Anne of Green Gables.

[@novasminiverse]

This build is beautiful! When I was a kid I also went to the same lighthouse in Oregon you’re talking about, idk what the official name is but I always called it the haunted lighthouse

[@Diamond_Doge_Gaming]

This is by far my favorite build ever!! This build inspired me so much!! it is so perfect! and it looks so lived in and the story line you came up with is amazing and fits the house so well!! 💗

[@irenelee1772]

love the storyline and details!

[@Amandaplayssims]

This build is absolutely gorgeous!

[@taliaholford2193]

I’m having the same camera issue usually play and build in the sims however the game is so glitchy that is impossible to play at this point. So now all do is build the the camera makes it frustrating lol. Can win. Beautiful build by the way this is hands down your best one.
