    I think with roofs EA tried to do thing called Krüppelwalmdach, most common in Germany and Hidden Springs is kinda inspired by style of this country I guess. It's supposed to block water ingress on gable wall.
    Anyway thanks for another vid, too bad houses in hidden springs are so boringly ugly though ._.

    It isn't that blue and green don't go good together, mother nature does it fantastically all the time. it is just that whoever decided those two shades were a good idea probably flunked coloring class in Pre-School. They should have looked at a photo of a blue flower or something and matched the blue and green.

    I'm actually playing a game in Hidden Springs right now, so this was perfect. Have to admit, though, that once I'm out of the starter home, I pretty much always do my own build (this time my guy's a loner outdoorsy guy, so he built his own cabin, heh) because I really don't like the size of most EA builds once you're out of the starter homes: they are just uncomfortably spacious.
    A couple things: I think it makes some sense for all the wealthy folk to have their own exercise equipment. The world's backstory is that all this rich people are there for a health cure, so it's not surprising they're into exercise (and of course they can afford to have their own home gyms). And I actually thought Liam's house (Just Enough Bungalow) was surprisingly well done. He's supposed to be a geeky dork with no fashion sense, and his house looks as close to that as possible without bringing in additional stuff from the store. I always figured all of that extra furniture stuffed in there was hand-me-downs from his mother who he couldn't say no to!
    Looking forward to the next one!

    Hidden Springs is my favorite world and I couldn't wait for this video to come out. Sometimes the houses are very beautiful, such as Ponderosa or the small chalet, even if perhaps the color combinations can sometimes be questionable and would need a touch-up, but the others sometimes have that strange roof.. which didn't really appeal to me convinced. I once played Hidden Springs with a sims and got a starter house and my goodness I lost my retinas because of the patterns and colors XD

    that roof style is called half-hipped roof or sometimes known as clipped gable roof and ‘jerkinhead’ … minds out the gutter 🫢 you see it a lot on tudor homes, farmhouses, and barns. I think it’s more common in europe. it’s basically a mixture of gable with a hipped roof at the top.
