you should do a challenge "each room is a randomly generated nostalgic item" such as the rainbow parachute, silly bandz, the stars on the ceiling, beanie babies, etc PLEASE !! i love your creativity and id love to see how you would do this
Here’s a microscopic detail that I like to do when I do tiny homes: all my nightstands and end tables are the ones with STORAGE😂 I know it obviously doesn’t actually matter in the sims, but for real life when you’re living in such a small space, you want and need every inch of storage you can get lol So for obnoxious detail and realism, I like to do the ones with drawers or cabinets, bc every little detail really does contribute to the feel of the space. I sound really obnoxious and rude I’m so sorry, I can’t figure out how to make a suggestion without sounding like I’m criticizing or critiquing you 😭
@ yea! If you have cats and dogs, there a cabinet that’s technically a dresser, but it’s kinda tall, and has glass doors! And to me, it looks like it has blankets and towels in it! So if there’s room, I always put it in the bathroom, or in a hallway, or like a closet or somth! I think it really adds such a nice layer of realism to the builds, bc there’s really not another item like that in the game!
for eco lifestyle they should've added one of those toilets where the water you wash your hands with flushes the toilet (so the tiny sink is basically above the toilet if you know what I mean)... That would be a great tiny home addition as well, especially if you don't have a big bathroom.
It would've been fantastic! Of course it would've required new animations to work properly which is something the higher ups at EA are allergic to as it costs them more in worker pay so... we miss out on something super awesome.
Good for you for not throwing the towel in and having the pets count as sims, I would have immediately done that and just had a room for multiple cats lol. That or an aquarium.
25:26 Sarah can you PLEASE do a video on exactly this 😭😂 ie, a build where you try to fit an item for every different skill in the same house that would be such a fun challenge
I personally don’t like to have things right by the door, so you’re not alone. I think it looked nice where you did it, but I agree in general that it’s nicer not to have to make that concession.
In the future maybe you could put the kids in the bigger room if there's three? That might be a better use if space? Idk im not a builder, just a fan lol
These are all so cute!! The 8 sim house isn’t functional unfortunately, the ladder is in the incorrect position so the sim would have to jump backwards to get onto the second floor. I really love the decor of everything though! It’s all super cute ❤
22:22 You can have 10 sims in your home but they won’t all be playable. You can use the Growing Together “Stay over” feature to invite sims over. They will live in your house and interact with everything in your house like one your other sims. Also there’s the discover university roommates feature.❤️
i love this challenge, you did really well fitting certain things in where i didnt expect, and the color schemes!! amazing!! i think i wouldve changed how the last one was done, changed the layout, given them more of a kitchen area maybe. also i love your hair and your makeup!
13:23 this made me think, wouldnt it be cool to fill up the other lots with tiny home-communities too? And every lot is a different challenge, similar to this one.
The second houses bathroom should of been along the wall where the bed is. Then you could of bumped the wall into the bedroom, so you could put the door on it going in and the bathroom door like this (top line)┌ that way no one has to walk into bedrooms and it’s accessible outside the room and the via staircase
In the first bathroom you can fit both, toilet and sink, odd placed in the same tile (you have to size them down 1 time) next to each other :) it looks normal and it's functional
Using your kitchen sink to wash your hands in a tiny living experience house like I live in is perfectly fine you can clean and sanitize your sink you can use your sink for all kinds of things when I grew up there was one thing that you use pretty much for everything except for washing your fruits and vegetables we had a a metal anyways we bombed apples and cleaned our fruits and vegetables in the metal band if that's what you want to call it hard times calls for a living very tiny sometimes
The 8 sim house ladder needs to be rotated to be accessible. The sims won't be able to get onto the floor at the top. They can access the 2 sides of the ladder or go through the handles at the ladder side, but they cannot use the 4th side opposite the ladder.
A year ago you had an AI plan a challenge for you and it gave you a time frame of 2 weeks to finish... I don't know how long 2 weeks in the Sims translates into hours for us but I think pretending they have a deadline to be done with the remodel sounds like an interesting challenge... what do you think?
You can set camera positions in Sims 4 and "snap back" to them. You choose an angle, press ctrl and a number between 5 and 9 (I think it is). Let's say you chose 5. Then you just have to press 5 for the camera to snap back to that specific angle. You can then switch between all your saved positions. You can reset with alt+N, I think it is (it's been a while since I played with these settings).
There are 8 beds! 😅 There is a murphy bed in the living area, 3 bedrooms in the rooms downstairs, and 4 beds upstairs! And since the murphy bed can sleep 2, the house could have 9 sims!
@@sarahkendall Ohhh, ok! So sorry, I didn't want to come across as rude at first though I can see how it might have looked like it. Thanks for clarifying! I've never had the creator of a video comment back or like my comments!!
are you into feng shui at all? bc some of the things you said sounded very feng shui lol. like not having things in front of the door, no mirror at the end of the bed
A double bed wouldn’t be functional if it were in the smaller room! I guess the parents could sleep in bunk beds but I didn’t really want to do that 😅 the lot is on the gallery if you’d like to do a little renovation though! :)
Wait the last build can only fit 7sims and if you did add a dog there’s still not any dog items and I thought a sim can’t use a bed if it’s up against the wall
I don't understand the tiny half window curtains the game has so many of. They're ugly & don't do anything useful. Sun will come in over the top if placed halfway down the window & you can just see over the top of them. They'd work with shorter windows if going for a very very old fashioned build, but they look out of place in more modern rooms & it bugs me seeing them in places like a kitchen or bathroom as the fabric would just get damp & mouldy. You don't do fabric curtains in kitchens & bathrooms.
Half curtains are super common to see for windows behind a kitchen sink in my experience! I’ve seen them used both in older and more modern designs. If the game had better full sized curtains maybe I’d use them more often 😂
I like the house but I feel like you failed the challenge because for example for the 5 sims, you just put 5 beds, but three towels, four chairs outside, a little couch, no drawers... It's not for 5
The challenge is for it to be fully functional in the game for a family of 5 sims, which it is! Sims don’t actually use towels, they’re just decorative. Mirrors provide the same functionality as drawers/dressers, but I still added 2 dressers anyway. The lot is on the gallery if there’s anything you’d like to change about it to make it more functional for your gameplay :)
I'm concerned about the ramdom thing here, you just put 1 3 5 and 8 you know that for the 4 house you will have this number why do you dont put every number between 1 and 8 to really do it random. It look good though.
If I got 2, 3, 4, and 5, the houses wouldn’t look that different from each other. I chose to do it in a way that includes the minimum and maximum number of sims in order to show a wider range of styles.
STOP PUTTING FULL SIZE BED IN CORNER. Its not functional for two sims..... SIms cannot prepare food on end counter pieces either so the second houses kitchen isnt functional either
It is functional! Sims can scoot when a bed is up against the wall, so the bed can sleep 2 sims. I fully playtested everything before putting it on the gallery!
Last house isn't lived in by the owners. It's just listed on Airbnb and claims to sleep way more people than it can and has a 'spacious kitchen'
you should do a challenge "each room is a randomly generated nostalgic item" such as the rainbow parachute, silly bandz, the stars on the ceiling, beanie babies, etc PLEASE !! i love your creativity and id love to see how you would do this
The lovestruck feeling stars would be perfect for that
why’d i read is a random mosaic 😭😭
There should be a Furby room and it be extra cursed on a haunted residential lol
Ceiling stars my beloved
Yesssssss

I sound really obnoxious and rude I’m so sorry, I can’t figure out how to make a suggestion without sounding like I’m criticizing or critiquing you 😭
omg this is not rude at all!! I think little details like that are a great idea!!
@ oh good, thank you for responding! Really eases my overreacting brain to see that you actually like the idea😅🙃🥰
I'm the exact same way when building in the sims, like where do you store clothes? blankets? cleaning supplies? sheets? towels?
@ yea! If you have cats and dogs, there a cabinet that’s technically a dresser, but it’s kinda tall, and has glass doors! And to me, it looks like it has blankets and towels in it!

Not the 8 sim home actually fitting 9. Congrats.
Came to the comments to say this 😂
Good for you for not throwing the towel in and having the pets count as sims, I would have immediately done that and just had a room for multiple cats lol. That or an aquarium.
The color schemes in every single house in this vid is something I SHALL STEAL FOR WHEN I BUILD IN THE SIMS 4 NOW. THEY ARE SO GOOD.
omg thank you so muucchhh!
25:26 Sarah can you PLEASE do a video on exactly this 😭😂 ie, a build where you try to fit an item for every different skill in the same house that would be such a fun challenge

ahhh i realized that later!! so i switched the ladder before uploading the lot to the gallery :) i'm glad you like them, thank you for watching! ❤️
@ I do it all the time! ❤️

I love how individual each house is even with the same shell. You're so creative

thank you so much!! and ooo yes I think they definitely could benefit from a larger kitchen area!!
i've never screamed half walls more than when the kitchen/living room of house 2 was being made
Perfect timing! I needed a video to chill to right now 🙌
13:23 this made me think, wouldnt it be cool to fill up the other lots with tiny home-communities too? And every lot is a different challenge, similar to this one.
i was struggling with building a tiny home yesterday, lol. you made it look so much easier!
The second houses bathroom should of been along the wall where the bed is. Then you could of bumped the wall into the bedroom, so you could put the door on it going in and the bathroom door like this (top line)┌ that way no one has to walk into bedrooms and it’s accessible outside the room and the via staircase
I love how you can keep finding really great challenges all the time ❤ This was very fun to watch!
yay thank you!! glad you enjoyed ❤️
Only just discovered your channel. This is right up my alley ! Now I have new videos for DAAAAAAAAYS. 🎉😊
15:51 that’s the sweetest thing i’ve ever seen 🥹 the fact you put her code ! (Sorry if bad grammar i’m french 💅)
This was so cool to watch the development!!! I love the concept of tiny homes! 💗
i'll never get tired of your builds!!!
In the first bathroom you can fit both, toilet and sink, odd placed in the same tile (you have to size them down 1 time) next to each other :) it looks normal and it's functional
Sims really need to do more sliding doors
so pleased yall back sarah, love your vids sm honestly
Girllllll, you forgot to paint the walls on both the upper and lower floors of the house of 8 people. That's why it looks empty!
These turned out so nice !!
thank you!!
so excited to see you upload!!
thank you!!
first time seeing your channel, instantly subscribed, you're so good at building, these were so pretty!!!
"How mang skill building items can i fit into one build" sounds like a fun future challenge.
Love this video as usual💓
Thank you so much!!

You look absolutely gorgeous in this video 🩷
thank you!!
I love your makeup❤, your videos are always so fun!
I was worried about the 8 sim house but that tiny home actually looked amazing!

Candles with a toddler in the room just feels like a bad idea...
I love how you get to the point in the video 😂❤
please do videos more often!!! you are my favorite youtuber i love love love your sim builds
I try to upload as much as I can!! Thank you for watching ❤️
I love how I’m always having a big house and rich family but watching this video I’m like omgg that 1 person house she has so much room😂
Love ya Sarah! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving this year and happy holidays! Can’t wait to see how you end this year! 🩷
Happy holidays to you too!! 🩷
Should maybe be a list over items that needs to be in each house before do a challenge like this, it will be even harder, but also more fun ? :)
You should do a house which is all xmas and there lives a family that loves Christmas and decorates every inch of the house even outside .
Omg I stopped playing sims on sims 2, being able to hang things in the door is insanee so much real
I always size down the toy box or the dollhouses
so good thanks for the morning chill times :)
thank you for watching!!!
Congrats on 90k!
Thank you so much ❤️
wait the 8 sim household was actually my favorite, 3/4s of a drawer lol xD
On the first house u should have done a crib in he parents room cause than the child room wouldn’t be so stuffed😅❤
i always make large homes but this has inspired me to dial it down
I started my tiny house village last night. In a basement on a 64x64 lot 😂
AGREE WITH THE CURTAIN KIT IDEA!!!
Love you and your videos! 💕💕
Thank you so much!! 🩷
You should do a tiny home with as many skill building items as possible
Thank you for feeding us mother
I've been checking the past few days but it's still not in the gallery 😭I think it's so cute, really want that builds in my game!
it's up now! sorry it took so long 😭❤️

How many sims can sleep in one murphy bed? One or two?
Two!!
love this
Gurl u mad the 1 sim house my dream house kinda
I wished you put the bathroom downstairs for the 3 person one
You could’ve done a half wall to separate the kitchen and living room
You can do that bathroom in two tiles
If you scotch the toilet and sink in to wall a little 12:27
😂😂😂 sooooooo : 1. First house no chair for kid . 2. House nuber 2 - only two chairs
Toddlers don’t need high chairs! And sims can take turns or sit down on the couch to eat! Still fully functional :)
@sarahkendall I know , but in real live it would not work . Sims are weird 😂😂😂
What you think about that last Death pack ?
@@beata3091 it would totally work in real life. you cam sit on the couch, bed or even on the floor, toddlers can eat anywhere
How does she do that thing at the end of each build where she smoothly moves around the home to show it off?
You can set camera positions in Sims 4 and "snap back" to them. You choose an angle, press ctrl and a number between 5 and 9 (I think it is). Let's say you chose 5. Then you just have to press 5 for the camera to snap back to that specific angle. You can then switch between all your saved positions. You can reset with alt+N, I think it is (it's been a while since I played with these settings).
Is nobody going to talk about how she only had seven beds in the 8 home build?? Unless the person number 8 is going to sleep on the couch..
There are 8 beds! 😅 There is a murphy bed in the living area, 3 bedrooms in the rooms downstairs, and 4 beds upstairs! And since the murphy bed can sleep 2, the house could have 9 sims!

All of these turned out so cute! But it's bothering me soo much that the curtains only cover the bottom half of the windows ТдТ
Could someone tell me what collection or expansion the floral bed and flower wallpaper in the single sim house are from? ❤
14:54 can i live there? i love it 💕🤩
are you into feng shui at all? bc some of the things you said sounded very feng shui lol. like not having things in front of the door, no mirror at the end of the bed
3 kids on a tiny room and a huge room w a king/queen? bed for the parents is giving those like.. van life tiktoker 😭
Hahahhaa omg 😭 I did the kids’ room downstairs because a double bed wouldn’t be functional in that room shape/size!
Should’ve given the kids the bigger room in the first one. Three kids and two adults.. yeah no. Kids- bigger room 😂
A double bed wouldn’t be functional if it were in the smaller room! I guess the parents could sleep in bunk beds but I didn’t really want to do that 😅 the lot is on the gallery if you’d like to do a little renovation though! :)
For the first home, i would have put the kids room upstairs and parents down 👍
I didn’t want to have the parents have to sleep in bunk beds! 😅 A double bed wouldn’t be functional in the downstairs room :(
Can you maybe put this lot in the Gallery? 🥺🙏
You mentioning the skill building items gave me an idea of every room is a different skill building item
A truly Random number would be all 1-8, not four predetermined numbers chosen for you to build in a random order. 😊
IVE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY
ahhhh thank you for being early!!
@@sarahkendallNo bc I was watching lilsimsie do a tiny home challenge earlier today HOW DID YOU KNOW
Hi, guys. Nice to see you all! The build so much failed...
Does Sims have Murphy beds?
I was in your top 0.3% of watchers this year 😊
Btw on your 8 sim house I don’t know if you know this but it only had 7 beds?
It has 8 beds, and two sims can sleep in the Murphy bed, so it actually can have 9 sims! :)
Hey I was in your 0.5% fans! lol
Did the toddler have a high chair lol?
No, they’re not required for gameplay so I usually leave them out :)
Wait the last build can only fit 7sims and if you did add a dog there’s still not any dog items and I thought a sim can’t use a bed if it’s up against the wall
Sims can use a bed if it’s up against the wall! The last house can actually sleep 9 sims :)
can we download the build?
She's sarahkendalll (three L's) on the gallery :)
In the first build, it’s technically not functional for 5 sims unless one sleeps on the couch:’) but I still love the builds!🫶🏼
What do you mean? 2 in the double bed, 3 in the de kidsroom?
@ can two sims use a double bed if it’s pushed against a wall??
Sims can scoot! So two sims can sleep in the bed upstairs :) thank you for watching ❤️

not the toddler in the house with just a ladder….
the toddler has no reason to go upstairs! the bed, toys, toddler potty, food, and bathroom are all on the first floor :)

you gave the 5 person house only 4 dining chairs...
I'm concerned about the ramdom thing here, you just put 1 3 5 and 8 you know that for the 4 house you will have this number why do you dont put every number between 1 and 8 to really do it random. It look good though.
If I got 2, 3, 4, and 5, the houses wouldn’t look that different from each other. I chose to do it in a way that includes the minimum and maximum number of sims in order to show a wider range of styles.
@sarahkendall yeah but it's not random then
It is random, because the numbers are on a wheel that will land on a random option each time until there is only one left.
You are saying "swatches" a lot. What is it?
STOP PUTTING FULL SIZE BED IN CORNER. Its not functional for two sims..... SIms cannot prepare food on end counter pieces either so the second houses kitchen isnt functional either
The beds *are* functional, sims do scoot! I changed the end counter to a full counter in the second kitchen and everything is fully functional! :)
in the house for 5 sims the double bed isnt functional by the other person so only 1 person can go in it
It is functional! Sims can scoot when a bed is up against the wall, so the bed can sleep 2 sims. I fully playtested everything before putting it on the gallery!
@@sarahkendall ohh i dont know much abt the sims so normally thats how i thought it works but ty for telling me!
FIRST
AMAZING WORK!!!
Early!!!
iconic!! ❤️

YAYYY thank you
