Tiny Cottage Home in The Sims 4

[@jessicahunter2976]

James, I feel pretty confident in saying that when you post, all of our days are that much better!

[@catherineboulay]

That’s for sure! 😄

[@BaileyB1011]

Definitely a correct statement 😁

[@danimacaronii9313]

Agreed

[@melodydom2001]

Yesssss

[@melmart711]

Absolutely!

[@anigodess]

Glad to see you back I think you should do scenarios with some of the unused Bigwallet family. The abandoned kids you don’t want to do a full playthru and stay children forever. You can scenarios with as mini playthru until we get a new game pack.

[@VereskVeil]

What a great idea honestly

[@ShojoGirl900]

Yes! What Anigurl28 said! 100%!

[@melanekhirano762]

Yeah but he thanossnapped most of them like a year ago...

[@DoveJS]

@@melanekhirano762 Different time-line, new save?

[@syelive]

Especially that one kid from the witch household lol we see him all the time!

[@naomilgay]

This build is a testament to James' move away from his formerly typical "black-and-white" builds, and I couldn't be more pleased!

[@TheBananananapudding]

As someone who lives in a tiny apartment with a window in their shower, I respect the window in the bathroom. It really helps with ventilation! 😂

[@selkiefluff]

Even though this build is so quirky, I actually think it came out realistic (minus the size, maybe). I see a lot of houses like this, except slightly more run-down, in the countryside or as refurbished parts of train stations/passings and old water mills.

[@lizhart81]

Henford on Bagley is perfect for this build. I've stayed in holiday lets like this here in the UK, it's pretty common for farming families to diversify into doing B&B or self-catering holiday cottages as a way to subsidise their income and keep their farms.

[@opallise]

As someone with a bathroom sink and no kitchen sink, if you can only have one, pick the kitchen sink. Trust me.

[@FireAndLightning]

I'm just so curious about this, like how do you not have a kitchen sink? :O Was it built like that or .. I don't even know what to suggest happened

[@NancyDrew56]

@@FireAndLightning not op but I did have an incident where the kitchen sink started leaking and I had to stop using it for a day or two before I could get it fixed and had to use the bathroom sink instead. Luckily there was a bathroom right off the kitchen so it wasn't too bad but yeah I could see it becoming a major hassle

[@FireAndLightning]

@@NancyDrew56 Ah, of course if it's in need of fixing that would be difficult enough! Truly hope that no one has to live without it forever! Must have been so hard to do the dishes, unless there was a dishwasher.., other sinks are not meant to handle pots and pans 😅 Thanks for giving me an explanation of what it could be!

[@Alewksi]

I saw an apartment in NYC once that had a kitchen sink but no bathroom sink

[@opallise]

@@FireAndLightning I have a fridge and microwave. There never has been a full kitchen.

We've missed you! But super happy you got to see your family! Hope it was a great time! It's good to have you back :) Also, gorgeous build!

[@EmmaSteelhand]

I just happened to refresh my feed, the timing! *Chef's kiss*

[@Chloroplastspectrum]

I know it's not 2016 anymore, but I'm still addicted to your mini builds... and the algorithm apparently feels the same way!

[@sweetkarou]

Challenge! Try renovating every house in every world, using only base game and the expansion pack that world came in (like Windenburg=get together and base game only). Rules: 1. Outside "shell" stays the same. You can repaint, change windows and doors etc, but no extensions. Inside walls stays about the same. You can take down a wall or build a wall, if it makes sense. 2. The original lot value stays about the same. So a lot worth around 16.000 should have the same or less value. 3. You can only use base game and the expansion pack. No stuff pack or other game pack. A world that comes with a game pack uses base game and that game pack. It's actually much harder than it sounds, because you don't have a lot of options. But it also is a lot of fun and challenging 😊

[@yummaliciouswater]

This is so cute! One trait should be lots of light or natural light I forget what it is.

[@rebeccarobare770]

I have been so focused on the Depp vs Heard trial I forgot about sims. This is an incredibly refreshing video.

[@loversandrose]

not me still playing the sims in computer and watching the trial on my phone at the same time 😂😂😂

[@MrsDizarky]

Welcome back! Such a cute build. I love the use of the industrial glass arch. I'm actually so surprised how well that worked with the cottage theme. I can now imagine it'd be a pretty entrance for a conservatory in a bigger home.

[@_rosiearia]

Welcome back James! Glad you had some time off with your family :) love the build

[@MynameisM3GaN]

Love to hear you got to see your family! Always put yourself first!

[@markabele8794]

I'm glad your back posting videos James. Glad you gat to see your family though. I really like this build.

[@realityreport79]

that triangle house build from Grand Designs is really great. Such a weird plot sandwiched between a busy road and a railway. And half the plot couldn't be built on because of the sewer access. Yet this guy managed to build an absolutely georgous house on it that nobody expected

[@alexusramos377]

You are one of the best ,simmers out right now because of how funny and real you are. Love You SEMAJ .

It's hard to be away from family for such a long time, glad you got to spend time with them 🥰

[@em2516]

Hi James! I so wish you were doing cameos. My friend Cheyenne got me one from you when I was pregnant with my son Olin, and now she is due to have a son any day. I would love to return the favor to her. We’re both huge fans! Love the build - and also hate the walkways up to the lots 🙃

[@kimberlyknight3428]

Adorable house. Would love to see it in a LP.

[@rachiemushroom]

Dude that’s lovely that you got to spend time with your family!

[@andreamyob9458]

yeah, I've missed your build videos. I love making tiny homes too. My favourite thing is to build "cheat" tiny houses which only use 32 tiles, but have a lot more space which is not enclosed. The lighting is a bit of an issue, but I've managed to get them to work for a 100 baby home. The relationship gains and skills boost really helps! I would love to see you build a cheat tiny house for a whole family.

[@hannaarnett6108]

I'm glad you had a great time on vaca! Welcome back.

[@analeighlerma1345]

I want to see James do a CC build. He's such a good builder and I know he would do it justice.

[@K7385-q9j]

Missed you James! Glad you're back

[@ragnkja]

The lack of a (visible) indoor bin makes sense to me, because realistically it would be under the kitchen sink.

[@purpletortoise9830]

Omg the Grand Designs House that looks like a slice of cheese, it’s in my town, I’ve seen it in person, it’s bonkers. Ive seen it as it got built every time you drive past. The lot they built it on is really small. And there’s actually a surprising amount of privacy. You have a hard time seeing it from the road. My favourite house from that season was the one with the pond. My dad and I found it on google maps, also close to me But I loved the pond sm.

[@Circlestash]

Thank you for being such a wonderful person, I look forward to whenever you post. Inspiration has been tough to come by these days and watching your creativity unfold is definitely inspiring!

[@coffeedrinkinwoman]

I love this! I build more tiny homes than anything but they're pretty bland compared to this. I may try something similar to this next time. I've been missing your videos but I'm glad you got to spend time with your family. That's so important.

[@Vexatious011]

YOU'RE BACK!! Glad you had a great holiday!

[@blazebardgames5939]

If one were to build a tiny home on one of the great big lots in the Henford-on-Bagley countryside, I think the way to go about it would be to make a tiny farmhouse surrounded by a big farm, and maybe go a little crazy on landscaping too.

[@cristinaeowynfagone7663]

[@feliciasantiago4345]

Yay I missed you 😩😂💙 glad you had a great vacation.

[@j_petrovscaia]

Welcome back, James! 🥰

[@DanaGab]

I think you can make use of the pathway for more space for the garden. You can put the house at the very front of the lot because it has a little bit of decorations and landscape already done.

[@Happy_Hauls]

So glad to see you back..hope you had fun with your family.. absolutely love this build gonna put it into my game as soon as I turn it on lol!!! Have a great day! 🙂🤗🙂

[@andreahiges]

Watched that episode of Grand Designes - that house was awesome!

[@tabithaaaron3754]

That home is so beautiful. Great job James. 🐸

[@Lostinscenes]

Awesome build, although I was thinking....would a mini fridge not work better in the space? You can then add a microwave on top, or a shelf for more storage space, what with it being a micro home and all....anyway, that's my 2 cents. Awesome build anyway. I really like your build style.

[@DoveJS]

A great idea but not that useful. I almost never play with microwaves in my games and the storage would be annoying because Sims would put plates up there if you didn't cover the shelf with random clutter, which could be cool. I think mini-fridge plus coffee maker would be a good balance of useful/realistic. Alternatively, something for tea but the base-game brewer was buggy for a long time, I don't recall if they fixed it, and the newest tea set came in the wedding pack so I have no idea if it's functional. lol I don't have that one and most of what's ingrained in my brain is how they had to fix all of the wedding bugs for everything else. The most useful change IMHO would be to add in an island, instead of a table, simply because Sims can also prepare food on it (less chance they'll fail to do something because the only free counter isn't available) and then stick in a dishwasher so the sink is freed up more often but it wouldn't fit the vibes as much and since it would need at least two counters, it might be something they can't get around. I forget how it lined up with the ladder.

[@Lostinscenes]

@@DoveJS I agree with the coffe/tea brewer alternative. Come to think of it, I did the same thing with one of my micro builds and it works a treat. What we need in the game, especially for playing with Tiny Living pack is integrated appliances ( I don't think there's a mini fridge version you can tuck away under a counter - dishwasher style, maybe CC, but idk), or a wet room combo (sink/shower that can be overlapped and still functional, although idk how that would work with the game mechanics). As for the counter space, maybe tucking the mini fridge between the TV and the ladder, using a bookshelf and not a bookcase (again, maximising space usage), and having like a breakfast bar with stools instead of a table, would probably do the trick with the available space. Having said all that, I realise that it probably would not go with the cottage vibe that James was going for...

[@DoveJS]

@@Lostinscenes You can fit the University/Snowy Escape shower opposite the door, then have the sink and toilet on opposite sides. I can't recall if it requires MOO because you can walk through the shower; that's what makes it work. So, not exactly the same concept but it means his bathroom could've had both. Ohhh, good idea for the mini fridge! Actually, I think he could've put one of the small freestanding set of books, which functions as a bookcase, on top of the mini-fridge. I know a fish bowl will go there so I think that works. Alternatively, could keep the book case, get rid of the little table between the chairs, stick the fridge there, and add the lamp on top. But yeah probably wouldn't fit the vibes haha.

[@JustSamantics]

This sparks much joy!! Are you going to be back to the Cottage Living LP? I'd would love to see a longer series come back again, even a different one, in addition to all the scenarios.

[@bellacullen492]

[@docette2015]

Nice! :) The little cottage really does look lovely with all those plants around it. I think you should use it for one of the nature-focused scenarios -- maybe Plant-A-Sim?

In my country, most houses don’t really use sink inside the bathroom. Only the well-off ones do. People with no sink wash their hand by scooping water from a bucket using a water dipper/scoop. So I never use a sink inside my bathroom when I build a tiny/micro home. No sink is pretty realistic to me😂

[@rwolfheart6580]

Great build! I'd love to see more tiny homes. Maybe try to build a tiny home that matches each world or pack? The no fence around the chickens stresses me out though 😅 Real chickens would wander away, and Sims chickens would get eaten by foxes immediately.
