It makes such a difference to see things done step by step. I get why speed builds are done the way they are but this showed a lot of the situational things that happen while building and how to deal with it -- specifically the roofing process. Great video -- thanks.
thank you for this indepth step by step guide. I can't understand why builders do speed builds. They only show how they did it not how we, novices, can do it. Your tutorials are so easy to follow and I've learned so much
Excellent tutorial -- followed along step-by-step and while the roof might not be 'perfect' ... it really came out well. SO much better than the basic boxes I usually do. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.
You make such great building tutorials! I've been playing Sims for years and only just getting into doing my own builds from scratch. You explain everything so clearly and you don't go to fast so it's easy to follow along. Thank you!
I play the Sims 3, not the Sims 4 but I love watching your videos. I've watched some of your Sims 3 building videos and I love them. They're so relaxing
This video has helped me so much to learn how everything in build mode works. I've just started playing sims recently and have only been using the gallery because building confused me so much lol Thank you so much for this, it was very easy to understand and I was finally able to make my first home :D
I've never been good at building, I usually get a house from the gallery and just recolour it. but I've learned such a lot from your tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to share your building skill and tips
Im following you on my pc ,,, also I flipped the chimney (build around) ,,,, you do such grand work and make understanding much more simple.... (( THANK you )) plz make more
thank you SO MUCH for saying the dimensions of the wall segments you were making!!! a bunch of other tutorials tell you to make a rectangle but don't tell you the size, which makes it really hard to copy! :))
Amazing! Really enjoyed watching that! I never had any luck with my roofs, get tired quickly and just slam the simplest one on top. After this video I will try a bit harder, thank you.
Omg thank you so much! I've been stuck on how platforms work in Sims 4, I'm so used to how easy it was to build in Sims 3! This video helped so much. I don't know why you have to enter a cheat code to move objects in build mode, just seems tedious & unnecessary lol. It should just be active when you go into build mode! 🤦♀️Sims 3 is still way better though, you can color anything you want in any color, no pre-selected color that NEVER matches anything! 🤣
this is so cool even though i dont know if its base game i got stuck on the bit where you had to put togetehr the roof but i done it at a point thanks! :)
The only complaint I have with the build is the upstairs. Because of how complicated the roof is it’s very hard to see what your sim is doing upstairs.
This is an excellent video, very clear and precise, and worth watching even for a beginner. The house is very well done, though very conventional. On a personal opinion, I think the dining room is too far from the kitchen, there should be another bathroom upstairs, and the brick front steps should have the pattern rotated or matching the herringbone walkway pattern. There also should be a backyard deck or patio. I would love to see more vids focusing specifically on roofs, stairways and foundations, with a list of some of the keyboard shortcuts, etc. I watched the entire vid and will watch more. You really know building!
Me and my cousin got to 34:44 (we are noobs and we had taken 2 hours to get to then) we wanted a look so went out of build mode. The game then randomly shut- turns out sims 4 doesn’t automatically save builds. The rest of that night (? It was 4am by then) was spent crying and eating muffins. The build is beautiful (,:
25:46 While building this (great tutorial by the way, very easy to follow) I noticed there is the same colour for that small window, or maybe they added it later?
I'm pretty sure this one is 30x20! I'm building on it and I think it's the right one. The lot from the "modern Bungalow" one is 30x20 too if you're interested.
17:17 not sure what I've done wrong here but I can't get the tile texture on the new little gable roof to match the larger roof part behind it so they don't look seamless.
Im a ps4 sims player and roofing is difficult because idk how to adjust one part of the roof, it shortened the whole thing and makes it look weird. Wnd ppl dont make tutorials for ps4 often
Hi, how do you place windows between wall panels like that? I can only place one window on one panel and can’t get them to cross over, and no cheats I’ve found solve this?
Hey I been rebuilding little bits and pieces here and there to make it look better. I play on console not ps5. But why and how did the stairs for upstairs move. I’m so confused 😕. 😂I made it this far. I legit wanted a challenge for myself considering I SUCKKKKK At building in the sims 4. 😂but it’s not gonna be a the exact same as yours 😮but if u can reply that’d mean a lot to me. The one time I tried building this I got mad 😠 and quit and didn’t touch it since. But I am so glad I made it to the roofing. But I’m just confused as to why or how the stairs moved. I put them exactly where u did downstairs lol😊
Don’t tell me I just messed upppppp ahhhhh 😢I put the stairs in the little nook. But oh my gosh don’t tell me I gotta restart it took me for ever just to get how I personally like the spots of where I put them that looks good in my head and eyes !!! AHHHH
I had to move the wall a bit because the stairs didn't fit and the stairs would be hanging out in to the living room can you tell me what was wrong pls I need help?!
I know this is an older video: but did EA change the size of the stairs? Mine is one longer than the nook allows. I have quadruple checked to make sure my dimensions are correct.
Hi, I'm struggling on how to look at your build from a certain angle? I can only look down on my builds and can't find how to change that up. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
click the little arrow thing he says to click and hold square and while still holding square press x and o at the same time, ik it's a little confusing but i hope this helps :))
I think the same for me because after beginning on the interior and realizing some of the roof was clipping I couldn’t fix it because I guess I made a mistake earlier
The roof above the front door is ruining my life lol. Like “dimensionally” it looks right but the pattern doesn’t line up like it does in the video and it’s driving me insane cause it looks weird because of it

i’ve played the sims 4 since release and didn’t know about the shift click for adjusting one side of the roof’s eave, thank you so much!
If only they showed how to on ps4😭

Hi, just built this house! These step by step tutorials are awesome. I'd love to watch an industrial loft tutorial on this channel, it would be great!
I never play Sims 4 but I really enjoyed watching you build this beautiful house! I can honestly say I watched every minute too! :)
Thank you!
Excellent tutorial -- followed along step-by-step and while the roof might not be 'perfect' ... it really came out well. SO much better than the basic boxes I usually do. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.

So grateful because my sims all live in a box with a gabled roof. Because I had no idea how to build anything else.
Thank god I found this. Didn’t know about shift click eaves and got so frustrated with doing roofs that I just decided to go flattop on all my games 😭
your voice is so soothing! thanks for the tutorial :)
Thank you so much, you were really clear with your instructions so thanks!
Just joined sims 4 and Thsnks to your step by step explanations it became easier to build thanks
thank you SO MUCH for saying the dimensions of the wall segments you were making!!! a bunch of other tutorials tell you to make a rectangle but don't tell you the size, which makes it really hard to copy! :))
I love your style of teaching! Thank you for the tips. Can’t wait to attempt building this myself!
Amazing! Really enjoyed watching that! I never had any luck with my roofs, get tired quickly and just slam the simplest one on top. After this video I will try a bit harder, thank you.

The only complaint I have with the build is the upstairs. Because of how complicated the roof is it’s very hard to see what your sim is doing upstairs.
Sooo cute. I think I would make a bigger porch, because sims are notorious for being dumb about their pathing on stairs.
I almost killed myself doin the roof.. 14:56 is where I’m at and I’m taking a break for rn
Also, great user name, I love that! Fits so well!
this was so helpful omg!! thank you so much for explaining the roof part so well!! :D
you don't know how much i adore you for this :))
thank uuu soo much!!
i really needed this♥
cottage core vibes
I have an issue with my roofing, for some reason its titled in a weird angle, and none of the four rotations will line up with the rooms :(
Same with ps5😢
great job loved it so much

Love it!! Learned sooo much. Thank you 💗 can't find how to find the house to download
25:46 While building this (great tutorial by the way, very easy to follow) I noticed there is the same colour for that small window, or maybe they added it later?
i love these tutorials
what is the area size of each lot? Can you mention it?
I'm pretty sure this one is 30x20! I'm building on it and I think it's the right one.
The lot from the "modern Bungalow" one is 30x20 too if you're interested.
thank you so much
12:17 I’m using a ps5 controller, so there’s no shift I can select to fix one side of the roof. How would I do that?
With □
@@lunaky6433 this helps a ton, thank you!
HOW SO I DO THE CHEAT FOR THE CHIMNEY ON PS4 😭 playing on sims 4 on my ps and don’t know if I can add the chimney in the half walls 😭😭😭
Cheat bar on the ps5 is L1+R1+L2+R2
Hi ❤ I’m building on console. Having trouble with the 1 by 1 at 7 some minutes.
Does that make a difference if it’s off by 2 squares or whatever
Roofing is the hardest part
Can you post a step by step on the furnishing please im so lost with no sense of style
How much was it in total, do you know?
I can’t figure out the roof 😭
17:17 not sure what I've done wrong here but I can't get the tile texture on the new little gable roof to match the larger roof part behind it so they don't look seamless.
Same I’m going crazy! Someone please help
Im a ps4 sims player and roofing is difficult because idk how to adjust one part of the roof, it shortened the whole thing and makes it look weird. Wnd ppl dont make tutorials for ps4 often
U use □ instead of shift to shorten just one side
Amazing tutorial ❤️ I hope you do many more
So my roofs are causing me not to be able to put down wallpaper how do I fix this
Hi, how do you place windows between wall panels like that? I can only place one window on one panel and can’t get them to cross over, and no cheats I’ve found solve this?
ill build this house but in sims 2!! :D
Hey I been rebuilding little bits and pieces here and there to make it look better. I play on console not ps5. But why and how did the stairs for upstairs move. I’m so confused 😕. 😂I made it this far. I legit wanted a challenge for myself considering I SUCKKKKK At building in the sims 4. 😂but it’s not gonna be a the exact same as yours 😮but if u can reply that’d mean a lot to me.

19.6 how to fix the octagonal roof so it can not join the room?
I have now subscribed to you
The second floor looks like an airplane.
Ik thats what i said
Yo the octagonal roof you used is joining my room. Do anyone know how to fix this?
Help me please, I can't put the window between the 2 wall segments,idk what to do 😭 (bb.moveobjects on is already on)
im not sure if its featured anywhere but i cannot find the house on the sims gallery. Can someone tell me the user on there?
How do you do the placing objects in between two wall segments?😭
How many’s rooms?
Whenever you do the roof I can’t rotate because my ps4 just- doesn’t
what should i do, when i can't move the window between the two wall segments?
I have this problem too!
I don't know either :/
I played it in spring and all my plants were dead 😅
I had to move the wall a bit because the stairs didn't fit and the stairs would be hanging out in to the living room can you tell me what was wrong pls I need help?!
make sure you change ur walls to short instead of tall
Dang.. Got all the way to the chimney before I realized I wouldn’t be able to fully copy without cheats :(
16:18 timestamp
I honestly did not know you could do that 45:08 😅
When I was In the minute 42 my game stopped and I lost all the progress 🥺
I know this is an older video: but did EA change the size of the stairs? Mine is one longer than the nook allows. I have quadruple checked to make sure my dimensions are correct.
Nvm. I started with a medium wall height. You started with a short. I’m keeping this here in case others have an issue.
Your wall height might be taller than the one I was using, make sure your wall height is at the lowest setting for this house
14:33 and i am going crazy
I'm actually gonna cry I can't do the roof😭😭
Im stuck at 11:06 cuz my gable keeps desapearring
How do I do the octagonal roof without it going through the other side blocking the stairs?
im having this trouble too, i havent found a solution :(
Ik I’m late but can somebody PLEASE tell me how to get a above view while building? Bc I have no idea and it’s making this build so much harder!
If you're on PC activate the Sims-3-Camera and then hold your mouse wheel and drag the mouse upwards
Hi, I'm struggling on how to look at your build from a certain angle? I can only look down on my builds and can't find how to change that up. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
In build mode at the top right bar there is a camera. Click that and then click sims 3 camera.
I can’t build the roof on ps4 because I don’t know how to do the shift thing🥺
same here 😔
click the little arrow thing he says to click and hold square and while still holding square press x and o at the same time, ik it's a little confusing but i hope this helps :))
what to do if there is no copy button, 12:06?
I did great up until the roof. Got the roof finished and realized I messed it up on one eave and then couldn't fix it 😵
I think the same for me because after beginning on the interior and realizing some of the roof was clipping I couldn’t fix it because I guess I made a mistake earlier
The roof above the front door is ruining my life lol. Like “dimensionally” it looks right but the pattern doesn’t line up like it does in the video and it’s driving me insane cause it looks weird because of it
What the heck i cant even do the roof
Me too! Struggling with the roof
10:15 is there a way to “shift” on ps4
I said the same thing on my ps4 and ps5
I build with a ps4 20x times hard. As to building on computer
Another comment: can somone tell me know f you can shorten the stairs on xbox
