Big Family Victorian 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 // The Sims 4 Speed Build

[Music] hey everyone it is tanya welcome back to the channel and welcome to another speed build today i am building on the golden peak lot in the world of copperdale this is one of the biggest slots in the world outside of the high school lot and this is normally where the principal of the high school lives but i just really wanted to build a big family home here and i actually really really wanted because of the rounded wall update to build a victorian home so i could have that rounded tower piece and i think it comes out so cute in the end i absolutely adore this build it is a four bedroom three bathroom house with a greenhouse a pool an office a laundry room and just so much living space for whatever size family you had in mind i did decorate this home for a family that has three teenagers so that way you could play with the high school experience if you so desired but of course you can go ahead and customize those rooms based on whatever family you have in mind and speaking of which if you would like to download this build it is available right now on the sims 4 gallery you can find it under my ea id which is griffy g-r-y-p-h-i you can also find it under the hashtag missgravey and that information will also be in the description down below as well it's also in the description but this house comes in at a hundred and fifty five thousand seven hundred and eighties millions so it's a bit on the expensive side but i don't think it's too excessive and the shape is starting to come together here you will see that earlier on while i was talking i did have to build the rounded room on the ground floor and kind of make it a half room because i couldn't connect the rounded walls to the interior but if i did it that way i could add some straight walls to connect it all together but from the outside it still looks fully rounded and i think it looks really pretty i'm super happy with that and i also decided to place these windows from strangerville uh all around this i do end up moving them closer together i'm just playing around with it now trying to figure out how i want it to look and it just looks so nice from the inside that ends up being the primary bedroom on the upper floor with this beautiful rounded window section and of course because of using those windows i was really inspired to use a lot more that are from strangerville and i also used one of the mosquino windows down here i thought that that looked really pretty and that ends up being in the kitchen like a little seating nook in the kitchen which i thought was really pretty i also attempted to use some of these vampires windows but they felt too small i suppose and so i decided to make this into a small balcony instead which ends up being off of one of the teen bedrooms but it's a really small space and i didn't put any decorations out there but that's something you could definitely decorate if you desire to do so uh and right now i'm just playing around with colors on the exterior i tried all kinds of funky colors we have a blue it ends up being like beige and green and red at some point and i was trying to do all of the like fun victorian colors that i see from time to time but for some reason i couldn't make it work maybe if i did a smaller home some of those fun colors would work but i guess because of the size of this one i thought it was a little too overwhelming so i do end up changing the color of this in the end to be like a cream color and a lot of brick for a while it's all brick we should be changing colors somewhat soon and then i do add a cream color much later on i did build this over the course of like a week or two hence why i earlier in the week posted a video and i was like i'm gonna have so much more content up this week but this took me so long to put together that uh i haven't uploaded in days so apologies for that here's the weird colors though i think it's fun and i would like to use this color scheme but maybe on a smaller build let me know if you'd like to see that but here i am changing it to a a more like brick look and i think it looks really pretty this is when i started really feeling the build and feeling pretty good about it and confident in it and just really really loving how the exterior is coming out i particularly like the round room and then the rounded like roof above the up the front porch i think it looks really nice i was super proud of this and it just feels really good when a build comes out and you're like really really proud of it of course pretty much all the builds i post on the channel i'm happy with how they came out but i was not confident i was gonna get this looking the way i wanted it to because round rooms are so finicky and obviously i'm only using in one part of the build but i was just really really happy with it so i just thought i would let you know anyway we're working on the floor plan now when you first walk in you are in like an entry room with the staircase and off to the right side of that that is going to be an office the narrow room in the front with that mosquito window is going to be our kitchen space and then we're going to have a living room here and the small room behind the staircase is going to be our dining room space which i think is a pretty spacious dining room it's just a lot smaller than the other rooms and the floor plan came out pretty well i think the upstairs one i had to do a couple of times but i'm pretty sure i cut that out um i know i had recently done some builds where i didn't really cut things out and i asked for opinions and it was kind of split down the middle on who enjoyed seeing the whole process versus cutting some of it out and i also got the comment that maybe occasionally do it so i think that's what i'm going to do every once in a while maybe on shorter videos i will keep the whole process in but bigger ones like this this would have been like an hour long video if i kept all the indecisiveness in so i decided to cut it out for uh this so hopefully that is okay but anyway upstairs here in this little kind of half open room i made this into a little laundry room space and i think it's so cute uh i'm right now just throwing items down in all of the rooms to symbolize what i think they're going to be so i didn't decorate any of that yet we'll be going back to that later but i just wanted to have an idea with the floor plan um before i went back outside to work on some more landscaping just going through sho live at objects now and picking out lots of bushes and shrubs and trying to put them together as nicely as i can here i also did use some of the tool mod to play around with the sizes of things and this is where i'm realizing i would like to break up the brick a little bit and add some of this like cream color into the build which i think helped a lot i also added some chimneys on either side to add a little bit more interest and it helped break up the windows on the inside as well because there were a bunch of big windows on the outside that i didn't want to get rid of but because of the floor plan that did end up being a bathroom and it just it didn't work out so i was happy to find a way to get rid of some of those windows anyway here i am getting some stepping stones leading to the side of the build where there is a fence around the backyard which right now there's nothing back there it's just a fenced in space but i will be having a pool and a barbecue and lounging areas and i think it comes out really cute in the end uh but right now i am also placing down some more show live at objects items there's this really pretty fence that came with the high school years pack that matches the world so i decided to place that around the exterior in the front of this build just to add a little bit more privacy of course it's pretty private anyway because it's at the top of this hill with its own like private driveway and it's such a pretty area i love this lot but i just thought that that looks nice and then in the back here i'm just planning out what i want it to look like so having the pool and stuff i'm not gonna fully decorate this until later but i just wanted to have it planned out uh because i find it a little overwhelming when i come to things later and i have no concept of what the space is going to be so i like to plan everything out ahead of time so just adding some like gardening plots over here because i was thinking that would be nice and actually a little bit later there ends up being a staircase heading out into that area from another space inside the house because at first i was thinking it would be a spare bedroom or maybe the primary bedroom on the bottom floor but it ended up turning into a greenhouse which i think is so fun anyway now i'm in the kitchen and i do end up using these countertops but i changed my mind so many times with the colors and stuff i probably cut out like an hour's worth of footage just from the kitchen by the way sorry if my voice keeps getting a little bit like stuffed up and i feel sound a little bit nasally my allergies have been horrible this year uh usually it's just like in the beginning of spring but it's been going still we're like mid to late summer and they have not come down so uh i just had a sneezing fit and now i sound a little bit better but uh yeah uh anyone else dealing with like horrible allergies this year it's just constant sneezing and sniffling and it's it never goes away anyway uh in here i did decide to use the blue swatch for the countertops and i decided the white swatch for the cabinets would be a nice uh like i like the contrast of it and also how they blend into the wall tiles a little bit better and so it's not so overwhelmingly blue in here but we have that nice pop of color with the blue cabinets on the lower side of the counter tops and i just really like how this kitchen came out obviously i have different counters on each side i have some from the country kitchen kits because they match with the sink that i wanted to use and then the other side are parenthood ones but they're the same swatch so i thought it was fine we also have an eat-in table in the middle of this kitchen and there's a separate dining room as well but i thought it would be nice to have that in here plus we definitely have the space for it this is a pretty spacious home so that is what i decided to do in here and i love how this kitchen came out i really like that particular sink from the country kitchen set uh the country kitchen kits i cannot speak today but um i just really like farmhouse sinks and i wish we had a bigger one that was like a two tile sink that's not cc i'm pretty sure there's some cc ones but i think that would be a really cool item to have added into the game even if it was just from a kit like can we get a kitchen kit that's not like specifically like oh here's a full country kitchen but like i don't know like some more unique items that we could place into existing kitchens or we could get a whole new kitchen set that's fine with me too i think that was one of the better kits the the country kitchen kit i love having new kitchen sets and there are a lot of assets to make because of all the different pieces of the counters and cabinets so i totally feel like that's a good way to get some more of them um because kids aren't going anywhere so i'm at least going to be like these are the ones that i would like if we're going to continue to get them and uh more kitchens is definitely up there bathroom clutter just the clutter kit in general like throw blankets and pillows uh i'm just i'm totally on board for some more of that and of course i really want to know more about the ones that we are going to be getting soon i know one's a build kit and one's a casket i don't only really care about the build kit but i'm excited to see more about that i love getting inspiration for current and future builds uh so that's always a bit of fun i know lately i've been doing a lot of like teenager inspired things this house is no exception uh with having uh three teenager rooms and this is built in copperdale but i think this is more inspired by the rounded rooms like i just wanted to have the turret so um that was the full inspiration for this build uh but i i like having things like that like you get a new feature in the game or just some new decorations and it really inspires some builds like i know when the industrial loft kit came out i just was building so many industrial things and that's always been one of my favorite styles uh so it was really cool to have uh that stuff added to the game i feel like i should use some of it more i i felt like there could have been more in that kit but i did like the items that it came with so that one's a decent one as well and of course the blooming rooms kit is amazing there's some really good ones i was speaking of blooming rooms okay i'm placing down a plant here now i do have a chest table in the living room and then this is the dining room it's pretty small but i feel like it has plenty of space there are six seats in here we have a faux fireplace and i'm getting some artwork throughout of course some plants some beautiful rugs i had a lot of fun decorating this home because i wasn't going for like super victorian like never got any updated furniture i wanted it to feel like it was more modern day decorated some of the stuff is really leaning into that style some of it isn't and i just wanted to be a nice family home and i think that's how it came out in the end but definitely let me know what you think and how you feel like i did with this house is it like bothering you that it's not all entirely supposed to be that style i just wanted it to be cozy and i think it's pretty realistic that not everyone that has a specific style of house on the outside decorates it that way on the inside so that was definitely the inspiration here because i i feel like a lot of the times when i build something that is of a particular style i feel kind of trapped to have to continue that on the ins interior and so i was trying to break out of that a little bit here and i definitely have some fun with colors we have the blue bathrooms obviously the blue countertops in the kitchen or not countertops but you know the counters that i'm using here i think they're a lot of fun and i kind of had some more like farmhouse inspiration in some of the house as well so i thought it was a lot of fun but um maybe that's just me like always though let me know if you have any build ideas that you would like to see on the channel because i'm in such a good mood and all i want to do right now is build and so i'm probably going to finish up something that i have in the works that's not going to take me too long but i'm thinking i want to start something new tonight so if you have any suggestions on just random things or builds inspired by any of the recent content that we've got or just ideas you have in general let me know because i'd be so down anyway this is the room that i decided to change in to a greenhouse area like a sun room and so i added a little porch off the back and here i am adjusting the roof so we could have a glass portion having like this little sunlight in here or what's it called it's not called a sunlight is it oh my gosh i can't think of what it's called but um like a sunroof i thought that that would be nice in this space it looks beautiful i love the lighting in the game uh when you use those glass roof tiles and so i put a bunch of planters in here but also a bunch of decorative planes as well to make it look a little bit more full and decorated i guess because you can plant a lot of things in the sims and actually grow your own like produce and all of that but a lot of it doesn't look as unique as the decorative plants they have so i wanted to include a bunch of that in here as well so just getting some greenery in the middle lots of potted plants all around we have some succulents i'm getting some tools over here for the garden and then outside i'm rearranging those plots i keep it pretty simple and then i get a gardening table and well a flower arranging table i should say and a couple of smaller planters as well and that's pretty much it for that area of the outside uh we'll be finishing the full backyard towards the end of the video but right now i wanted to decorate the office so it just ends up having a desk in the middle of the room with some chairs i was thinking maybe one of the parents works from home that's the thing i like to include a lot in offices i just wanted it to be more formal this is a bigger house definitely more established in their careers these sims and probably a little bit older as well they do have three teenagers at home i don't imagine this is a young family uh so having like a big spacious work from home office to meet with clients or whoever sounded like it made sense to me so very simple i didn't overly decorate this space i some of the areas in the house are super decorated some are a little bit more open to interpretation of course i tried to keep my builds so you can customize them to whatever family you have in mind since you're probably not gonna have the exact same sims in mind that i do when i create the build you're probably gonna customize the houses to your liking which is definitely something i encourage uh so i keep that in mind when i'm building most of the time although sometimes i just go all out with a theme but this one is just more a family house it's not like oh this is an artist's place which is a theme i like to do a lot because i went to school for art if you didn't know that i was um a graphic designer for many years and i went to school for it so anyway this is the primary bedroom look at those rounded windows i love this space i love that we can have rounded rooms now and i think they're super glitchy and i hope they improve over time but it's so cool to have and i love how these windows look here they're ones that are not tagged as okay for this size of a rounded space um but the only clipping in them is like a decorative piece on the outside at the very top of the window so i didn't really mind it and i think they look really nice here i think they were perfect for this space and i just adore them i'm so glad that i added a rounded room here and that i was inspired by the idea of a rounded room to do a house like this uh so this room is just very brown and beige and it's pretty cozy i feel like this follows the style of the house a little bit better and then i did the three teenagers rooms very much inspired by the new beds and stuff that we got in the uh got in the pack and i actually ended up using this wallpaper that i used in the upstairs i brought a lot of it downstairs as well so you'll see that in the screenshots that i did change some of the wallpapers because i thought that this fit the style of the house a lot better so uh that will be changing but this is the first teenager's room it's very pink i end up having three colors i think of a pink one a blue one and like a black one i just wanted to keep them pretty generic and open to whatever teens you had in mind and i had so much fun with them because it was just playing off of colors and i threw a couple of posters around but i thought that they were really pretty i like the swatch on this bed quite a bit and of course mixing and matching and different packs oh in this room this is one of my favorite new beds particularly in the main swatch it comes in it's just so nice it feels like such a normal bed that you would see and the furniture set just matched matches so beautifully i just really like this one so i did keep that in here and i just i keep using it i'm gonna keep using that particular bed i just think it's so pretty and uh there is a desk over here i tried to include like computers and desks for the teens the only one that doesn't have it is the pink room because i added a vanity instead of a desk in that room uh so they don't have a computer but um the other teens do that feels a little sad but there is a computer downstairs if they want to sneak into their parents office and take it over that is an option anyway this is the last bedroom i am using this bed for the first time this like princessy bed i have never used it before because it's probably my least favorite of the beds but it has some fun swatches so i feel like i need to really take that one and like run with it and try and do some fun uh builds using that concept of a sim that likes that style i like some of the swatches though like the skulls and some like dark purples and stuff i really really like those but i haven't used the bed much outside of that i don't know why it feels like very plasticky to me maybe kind of barbie maybe that's why i don't know maybe it'd be good for a barbie build i'm trying to think what my last barbie build was i know i did a caravan i probably did a regular tiny house i don't know what else i've done i feel like i've done a few barbie builds but let me know if there's another one you would like to see and if so what you would uh be interested in that could be really fun those are always fun because they're i guess nostalgic from being a kid and playing with barbies but they're also super out of my comfort zone because i don't really like hot pink uh so having that included is difficult and i say i don't like hot pink but that's like for furniture and stuff as i've gotten older i've decided i'm okay with pink and i like pink in some ways uh i definitely for many many years was like i hate pink and that's not true anymore but i still don't want like hot pink furniture and i feel like that's what i would be doing in a barbie house so it's definitely out of my comfort zone and so that way it is fun to do anyway i completely talked over the end of this video so we're in screenshots now but i hope you enjoyed this if you did make sure you give this video a big thumbs up that really does help me out you can also subscribe to the channel if you have not already and click that bell to be notified of every single time i upload a
