That is a good idea! DevonBumpkin did a multi-pod ‘tree-house’ type build recently using tiny living stuff, that turned out pretty nice. I think you’d need to like a more modern style though. I’d love to see what James would do with the idea of a tiny living tree house type build.

[@bigsiskrishere]

Oh hey I'm just rewatching James' tiny home builds for inspo (just bought Tiny Living and I want to make a cottagcore tiny home 😊), and here is my favorite makeup KZbinr commenting on my favorite Simmer's video 💜💜

[@ShaniqueHyde]

I'm glad that tiny living has inspired James to build again 😊 now I can go back to copying his designs 😂😂

[@Melissa-fp1kh]

Shanique Hyde at least you copy, I don’t even bother, I just download from the gallery 😂

[@mariesalias]

Melissa Gruben Yeah, but that’s the reason builders build and post their stuff to the Gallery, right? How sad is it when a builder builds great homes and no one downloads or uses them? Building isn’t as much fun for me in S4 as it was ts3, so I often end up downloading homes off the gallery and just changing up the non-structure parts. And honestly, the only reason I probably do that most of the time is to declutter because I have pts3d (post-traumatic sims 3 distress ;p) and I swear, I practically get the shakes from having a lot of clutter on lots! I think I originally started building in ts3 because I got tired of decluttering builds (especially landscaping!), so it was just easier to build myself. Too much clutter in ts3 was a quick path to lots of lag and could contribute to saves getting corrupted (in case you weren’t aware). So yeah, you should never feel less, or bad, about downloading other people’s builds, it’s why they create them! (Edit to add: I’m sorry if my pts3d joke offends anyone, I deal with the disorder myself so I really do understand how serious the disorder is! But I also know that if you can’t find ways to laugh at the stuff that causes you pain, it will only cause you more pain in the long run.)

[@romiellag]

As long as you build it yourself it dosen't count as copying 😊 I regulary see a build and try to build it, and i don't look at it again so i can get my own ideas onto the build.

[@anxietybox4392]

@@romiellag Yah, I'm building an A- Frame right now, but I got my inspiration from his build. I'm just worried people are going to think I copied him. Which I'm not I'm just taking some aspects of his build and incorporating it into my build. Like using the window roof as extra light and space and the loft area. So I don't know what I should do so that people don't think I'm copying him. I just want to know what I should do so that people don't get mad.

I've been building my own for a few days and the loft bit was driving me up the wall! I took a good look at yours and managed to get a working space as opposed to the abomination that was there previously! I also 'borrowed' your downstairs roofing to add a bit more light. So glad you posted this, I was tearing my hair out trying to get it to do what I envisioned!

[@Butterfly1025A]

Hey, dumb question: since the loft space is technically outside, is it affected by weather? Does precipitation fall or does the roof still keep it dry? Is it heated like the rest of the house or will Sims be chilly in winter/broiling in summer? I’d test it myself, but I don’t have the time right now 😞

[@destinyyheng3552]

That's a really good question, I wondered this myself, but since my last save game the whole family died of heat even though the thermostat was set to cooler during a heatwave. . . . my luck sucks, so no doubt if I tested it they would just die anyway. . . .>

[@JustBriannaYT]

I don't think it's affected by weather, but your sims may still get adverse moodlets in that room when there's thunderstorms.

[@destinyyheng3552]

But don't get that anyway even tho they are in the house??

[@user-lw5jn2hy9h]

Rain and snow won't go inside, I'm not sure about the temperature though.. I've played in houses like this and it was fine.

If you have an areas outside that's covered, in game, then snow and rain can't get to it. You'll end up with a square that isn't covered by snow.
