Don't forget to playtest 😉
PS: you dont need to type 'testingcheats true' to access your moveobjects, showhiddenobjects and showliveeditobjects cheats ☺️ 'testingcheats true' is only used to access additional cheats that can also be useful when you build. By typing 'testingcheats true', you can Shift + click surfaces and do other fun stuff like teleport your sim, make items dirty/clean, etc.
You can read more about cheats here: www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/cheats
the eleventh position is the one I follow most scrupulously if I want the most realistic house possible. I still don't understand why after so many years both the counters and the kitchen doors are so unrealistically large... even if I make them smaller they don't have a realistic effect
Right??? Like some objects are just so massive. Especially those counters
Oo dont forget the bedside tables they are unreasonably huge
i hadn't heard of the 60-30-10 color rule, i'll definitely be using that! really beautiful builds by the way, and thanks for the video!
Love your videos!
Another tip is to make them gameplay friendly. Unlike real life where you are in the space in Sims you basically view your house as a 3D model. So creating it in a way where there is no objects interrupting your view is important.
Yes this! There's a lot of discourse on builders being obligated to play test or not, but I personally believe that we should if we expect others to use our builds. Might as well make them useful for other players to use. Thanks for sharing 😊
This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, creators rarely reference real interior design theory when giving tips, that tend to be incredibly helpful.
Love this video so much! Keep up the good work ❤
Wow thank you! And I'm glad you found this tutorial helpful 😊
Important side note at 3:40 . As of a recent base game update (the one that came a few days before the For Rent EP), you can actually CHANGE the windows in the EA apartments (City Living/Eco Lifestyle). You can move them, delete them and add new ones. So you're not as constrained in the apartments anymore, that is if you don't mind your windows mismatching those in the walls below you 😊.
Ok back to the video, just wanted to mention it before I forget 😅.
Ohh yes! I made this video before the update and didnt notice that bit. Thanks for letting me know 😊 this was a much needed change!
Side note: I love that your pfp is Rayla from the Dragon Prince 😆
Oh my gosh I had no idea it was part of an update, I just thought I got randomly lucky one day lol.
I'm glad that they did this. I like changing just about everything in my sim's homes to be as eco friendly as possible and the windows are a big one for me because the Eco Life windows give bill discounts.
You know a video about design is legit when the first tip is to look for references, awesome stuff!
This is hands down the best Sims 4 interior vid I've ever seen on UA-cam! Thanks so much! 😊 Hoping for more vids like this. 🤞
Glad you found my video helpful ☺️
As a futur interior designer and a build simmer lover I really enjoyed it😍thank you so much for all your tips 💕
Thank you for not going into the clutter/default thing too much. Lots of houses in the gallery have too much clutter and it drives me crazy. I often find myself removing a lot of it especially if it's placed with move objects because a lot of it clips through walls which makes it really hard to place other items on the wall/floor (like beds or couches) when it doesn't let you place it and when I remove things for that reason before I know it I have an empty room or yard.
I’m a motion designer and an artist, so creative activities came easier to me. But interior design in Sims was a struggle! It was a whole different ball game. Favourite tip was the flow of movement. Thanks for this video, it was super helpful!
Glad you found this video helpful 🥰 nice meeting fellow creatives here!
This tutorial really helps, I actually have abckground in design but, having difficulty in dreating MY OWN house (I've tried, I made a gunshot style one, once) and I've DL some houses from Gallery; I like the looks of houses from Gallery specially the those in the most popular ones. But I always ended up redoing the interior because for me they were not made both functionality and Sims' moveability. Kudos to those creators because creating your own house is really hard lol!
You're the most talented sims interior designer I have ever seen. Keep up the good work! I learned so much from you
Wow thank you! That really means a lot to me 😊
Been building for years and never bothered with gallery art. This video is gold ❤ thank you
I can't even believe this!
This video is so indepth and helpful. I saved it to my watch later play list. Thank you for making this sweet video ❤
Your video is great! I've been playing the sims since The Sims 2 and learned along the way, But with your video I learned a lot more than I did all these years playing. Feels great to have a new way of thinking! Thank you sooo much.🤩🤩
I build a lot in the sims but I learned a lot of new things through this video!
Thank you for this video! I have been wanting to start building houses on the sims and didn’t know how or where to start! Thank you again!
I’m an interior design student and I love that you incorporated it into your building tips❤
Love seeing you all do the gingerbread houses. I hope your family enjoys the holiday season 🎉Merry Christmas family ❤❤❤
Such a change from the animated you, we saw on the last tips video you made. Great job. You look lovely, and I know it takes a lot of courage to do face cam. Terrific content. The fundamentals of design are always a great thing to share. Keep up the good work!
This means a lot to me so thank you 🥹 I thought it was time for this channel to evolve, and it's nice seeing some returning viewers in my comments despite these changes. Glad you liked the video!
Great Video! I just started my channel and I totally respect the amount of work this video took to work and you did an an amazing job and it contained LOTS of useful information.
This is the best guide I've seen so far! I'd also like to add to check the "sim sessions" objects from the gallery as another option
Thank u!! Im new to the construction side of Sims and want to improve. ❤❤
Really great tips here! Thanks so much. ❤️
This will help so much. Especially the gallery art one! I plan on building a ton with the For Rent pack.
Sati and Fantasims are my favorites in term of custom made items creator :D
even schnuck01 and RGeeTect also blown me away with their custom creations
Yes they're all super talented 😍 Schnuck and RG are definitely creators admired a lot too. It's a little sad how Fantasims is not as active as she used to be. I really miss seeing her creations
Hey thank you for this video!
Im feeling so inspired after this, I love the way you approach it and deliver the tips. Made me realize how much more there is to design than what we actually see at first.
For instance the way lighting changes the mood and in real life fragrances are added to certain places to evoke something. Those things can go unnoticed if you are not really paying attention and make such a difference. Its all in the details it seems.
There are certain styles and objects that I found awful but you have managed to compliment them in a way that it makes sense
I can see theres a lot of care on how you approach your buildings, almost methodical, you make a mood board to generate new ideas, you make a houseplan etc, truly shines a light on how the creative process work.
I am definitely saving this video as I can see myself applying this in other aspects of life as well.
I hope this makes sense, I am having a hard time expressing how much joy this video brought me xD it highligthed and reminded me how learning is amazing and interesting, Thank you again :>
Would you mind sharing the name of the tool you are using to create the mood board ? at 1:36
This is probably one of the nicest and most heartfelt comments I've ever received in any of my videos 🥹 so thank you for making my week! I love interior design, and I wanted to share that love with others even if it's just through the Sims. Glad you found this video helpful! And yes, proper planning is the ultimate hack to a good build. That's why it's number one on this list 😉 I wish you the best of luck on your builder's journey!
It's canva! You can check it out in your browser 😊
@@paszerine Thank you ! Im glad you liked the comment I was afraid I might have sounded too weird or something, english is not my first language so I had a hard time expressing myself. I would LOVE more videos like this one, the way you present the ideas is absolutely amazing. I can truly see that each house you build is a labor of love, even if its 'just a game'.
Im so glad you found your true calling
Not seen your videos before, i loved this one, as i do sometimes feel over whelmed especially decorating a big space. The rooms you showed were stunning! 💖
Thank you so much! And welcome to the channel 🤗 glad you found this one helpful
Thanks for this video, I'll definitely use your tips when decorating my Sims' houses moving forward. Salamat ❤
This video is great for me as a new Simmer. Thanks
This is one of the most helpful videos, I've seen ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not sure if you’ll even read this. But I’ve watched several videos by you and honestly, I’ll bow down for you. Your creativity and your skill to do the most amazing things in your builds is truly exceptional.
This comment really made my day 🥹❤️ I'm super happy you enjoy my work! It really means a lot to me
Thank you so much for doing this. ☺️ I love your builds, you are so creative. ✨🧡
Thank you so much 🥰
Great video!! Thank you!😊
This video is super informative! Thank you! ❤
Thank you for alls ideas and tutorial excellent. 🎉
Thank you so much for sharing your tips, I feel so inspired!!:D
The placeholder tip really helper me, i was stuck on picking objects i wanted for the aesthetic first which made it take a long time
Really enjoyed your video great advice keep up the good work
This video was really helpful, I'll start to look for the gallery art more!
Thanks! Yesss they're game-changing 😍
Gallery art is awesome. I used to lust after cc art, and then saw Schnuck using and crediting no cc gallery art and was hooked. There are thousands of awesome works on there. Really great source for multi-cultural stuff too.
This video was so helpful! Thank you
What a great video! Thank you 🙏 ❤❤
Super helpful tips! Thank youuuu! 🙏🏻
Learned a lot! Thanks so much!
So inspiring! Thank you 😍
You mean put more effort into it? Wahhhhhhh 😭 Just kidding, excellent video!
Great info, I don’t remember what I was planning on doing now though, I just want to go play the sims 😅
Wow thanks for all the good tips!
Thank you so much, I love this video & it will be so helpful for me 😊
Super helpful! Thank you!
thank you for the great tutorial it was so helpful.
Thank you for this! Just started decorating interiors and whew. I do not know what I’m doing.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
I love going out and using real architecture for inspiration, but I'll get weird looks like I'm scoping the place out for something sketchy 😅
Ohh trust me students and actual architects scope places out all the time 😂 and yeah we always look sketchy lmao
Wow, thank you! ☺Just found this video and subscribed immediatelly. I'm a bit rusty since I haven't played in a while (work...). I gotta watch these videos for new tips&tricks coz you can never have enough of those. Floor plans can ruin me sometimes but the most difficult for me is the roof plan. I can litterally spend 2h only on the roof and end up crying coz I still can't figure it out lol. The floor plan is mostly difficult when I wanna build a small house and the stairs are litterally killing me😅
Glad you found this video helpful 🥰 oh yeah, roofs are the worst 😅 I miss the auto-roof tool from the previous games. My advice as someone who also finds roofing challenging is to keep the shape of your home simple. I'm not saying just stick with a box but linear shapes make it easier to do roofing. My first tip applies here and you can always browse online for the types of roofs and experiment a bit ☺️ you can also use platforms as roofs if you have a modern build. Hope this helps!
ty this helped sm ❤️❤️
Such an amazing and helpful video! 💞
Thank you May 🥹
I love this video 🙌🙌 I mainly use the sims to build, not actually to play the game, but I still don’t feel like i’m great at it yet (it’s been years, only recently have I discovered debug objects 😭) I also had no idea about gallery art and i’m so excited to check that out
I appreciate the emphasis on actual real-life interior design as well - animal crossing taught me about feng shui but the sims has yet to teach me that much (other than the word “frieze”)
Most items in game can be resized and still be usable, but a few things just don't work correctly. Always play test before uploading a lot to the gallery. I didn't know that about art on the gallery. I'll definitely be checking that out. Thanks for the tips, lots of a great info in this video.
Oh, I forgot to mention that there is free graph paper online that is pretty easy to use. I think it's called virtual graph paper. Google will find it. You don't have to make an account or anything. I use it to plan out my Sandrock houses because I find it much easier to visualize where I'm going with it and Sandrock is much more limited than the Sims because building a house isn't the focus. You may have mentioned the virtual graph site in your videos, this is the first one YT has thrown at me. Anyway, thanks again.
Very true! Always playtest 👏 glad you found this video helpful. Gallery art is a game changer!
Also yes about the graph, thanks for sharing! You can also use google sheets cause it's free as well 😊
wow absolutely love it
I absolutely love this video and it does help a lot, I know some simmers love clutter and i have always wondered is that a good idea or not it may look great but Sims need to move around. They do move around a lot
Clutter is great! They make your space more fun, realistic and lived-in. It's important to play-test though, especially if you're cluttering specific areas where there is a lot of activity like the kitchen. Dont worry about over cluttering, do what you feel is right 😊
thanks for the tips
This was so helpful my houses always look bare
Paszerine re: (Pinned comment) ‘Don’t forget to playtest.’
- We don’t sketch out builds beforehand (02:11), but generally always playtest, because never know what’s going to be a little fiddly.
For example, paused while filming the ‘Christmas Gifts’ episode to playtest the Santa sleigh, to see if the Sims could actually climb up to the sleigh seat. Anything with platforms, in particular, usually have to test it out just in case.
So, pragmatic advice. Nice episode.
preparing my note for this.
I’ve been doing the gallery art thing but I need to try the gallery objects more.
thank you
Don't place large objects on innerwalls.
That's the best tip.
You don't want to be playing with the walls down, and your view is still blocked by a huge bookcase.
I always forget about gallery art... regarding learning from others, I used to watch a lot of simmer but in the end, I felt bad since I couldn't build as good as them, I always compared myself to them and it made me quit the game for a while. Just don't forget that you need to build for your own style and uses in the game!
I get that 😅 Sometimes I feel that way too, but it's important to know that sometimes we can learn a lot from people who are more experienced than us 🩷 Gallery art is such a gamechanger! I'm wishing you the best of luck on your builder's journey
I wish I had come across this video sooner, but better late than ever. I feel inspired to build now because I've always relied on gallery creations since I don't feel creative or like I'm good at designing.
Glad you found this video helpful 🤗
Banger video.
thank u this is very helpful 🫶🏻 btw how do u make furniture look so realistic when during the filming part? idk how to explain but in build mode it's normal but when ur doing like a complete look filming (with sims minding their own business) it's sooo realistic
I was literally just renovating a house and thought to myself "man I suck" and then this is the first video on my recommended 😂 thank you
I use to put in some random objects that not really fit or match. I pretend it's things my sims get after older relatives, a memory of grandma.
love this vid! i try to build but tbh I just end up downloading lots in the gallery. btw is it your build at 6:03? love the interior. def need that in my save file.
Practice is key and hopefully my video can help you when you try to build 😊 all the interiors you see in this video are mine and you can find the full tours/where to download on my channel too
Could listen to ur accent for hours
Hey were are those red tiles in the kitchen at 5:47 Thx 🥰 also I subbed don't worry!!!!
Thanks for the sub! They're from Jungle Adventure ☺️ a lot of beautiful tiles from that pack
1:17 this is literally a cafe in my city what you are talking about 😂
what are you using to plan at 2:21?
What would I type in to find stuff like CC and its not..just wondering since I'm a console player. Absolutely love all your videos.
Hello! Glad you like my videos 🥰 Unfortunately CC is not available for console players
What program did you use at 2:17 for the fillable grid? That would help me a TON in my building! :)
Hello! I made a video about floor plans and I showed what I used to make the grid :) I linked it in the description
what is the progamm name from tip 2?
What mod do you use to make your lighting so adjustable? I’ve tried searching but I guess I’m not using the right keywords.
Hi! I was using Better BuildBuy by TwistedMexi :)
2:16 May i ask what the grid is? because that's genius!
I used google sheets 😊 you can check out my vid on floor plans to see how I used it
Is anyone else having problems with platforms? When I make a platform it will delete the wall it's next to. So frustrating!
(Maybe unrelated to sims) Would you be willing to share your journey as an interior designer? Really curious about your background on this.
This sounds like a cool idea and I might consider it 😊 it's nice to know there are people interested
Are the different ceilings part of a pack???? Did I miss that in the video? My ceilings look like crap and often choppy lol
The ceilings are part of a free basegame update 😊
You don’t need testing cheats for build cheats! (Saying this misinforms & confuses the community)
Thanks for the other great build tips. 🙂
Oh yes, I realize that 😅 Inserted a text in the video in case you want to use the extra cheats that come when you shift click
wait how did u get the colorwheel for lights?
I got it fron TwistedMexi's mod called Better Build Buy :)
GALLARY ART????????? This changes everything.
Thank you so much 😭 I always struggle with interior and only build practically... That fireplace righg next to carpets and wooden floor is not something you want tho...
please do exterior
and for heaven's sake playtest before you upload
There's a lot of discourse when it comes to builders having to playtest, and I think I'll make a lot of people mad by saying that yes, as builders we should always playtest if we're gonna upload your build to the Gallery and have others use them 😅 my advice is to take at least one livemode day to play in your build lol
@@paszerine I think that's a great policy!
I feel soooo dumb for never using windows on half walls. that j completely changed my "fences" fr
I can build interiors and decorating outside. Its the actual building that is impossible to do and I can't find any builds or shells on the gallery 😭😭😭
I love building bedrooms- but the rest of the house is a nightmare. I always feel like nothing goes well with each other and the whole house looks to spacey
Or you can just download something from the gallery and call it day.
Love you dear 😃
the most difficult thing is to build CC-free lot without making it looking like someone's suffering from diarrhoea visited this.... Maxis colour designers seem to be the coprophiles because of literallly every object is brown and the sawtches are just slightly different tones of brown.....that'sad....
All my sims has indoor lifestyle when they have good house, I hate it! 😅
