Fixing Judith Ward's disgusting house because it really needed saving

so I heard a rumor that this house was built by an intern who lived in a studio apartment who knew absolutely nothing about home design I mean clearly based on the look of this if you don't know this is the house of Judith Ward the five-star celebrity I just want to address okay the way it kind of looks like a week like Wheatley in American Suburban house like a blue Suburban with this like what's it called slidings side there we go siding we've got like these porthole windows at the front it looks a bit like a face we also have these striped awnings which make it kind of look like a shop front and then we've got like a cherry blossom tree we've got lavender perfectly oh not perfectly lined up you can see it's like not very symmetrically lined up we've got other random Blobs of lavender here and there I mean I'm all for lavender guys plant lavender save the bees it's very important but in this context like especially if you look at like the really beautiful backdrop that this house is in and then you look at the house itself we haven't even touched the inside yet even just the outside for Christ say I mean look how random all the windows are I just can't deal with it guys look at these two windows next to each other look at these windows right at the top of the roof whoever made this I'm sorry that I I wouldn't say they need to get fired because that's unfair but I think they need to be retrained and then when we look on the inside anyway it's a little bit worse it's like weirdly symmetrical to the point where it's like quite creepy like the house is like weirdly Barren empty for a big famous person's house it honestly looks like something out of the Sims one one thing that makes me laugh is that like in the main hallway here there are two toilets one with a white door one with a black door and it's basically like the same toilet but mirrored which is like so strange why do you have two bathrooms next to each other we also have like for example a study on the right side here but then symmetrically on the left we've got another study upstairs is even worse like look at this bathroom look how empty the bedroom is look at this monstrosity of a bedroom looks bloody all for the whole thing okay it really is horrendous as a part of a save file that I've been doing I've been changing the entire property up and reimagined it so I wanted to turn it into a modern home a modern home that I once saw in real life that I kind of wanted to recreate in the game I've done it in this style where it's kind of like a what do you call it like a c shape I really wanted to put a swimming pool at the back but we didn't have room so I've just done like a balcony thing with bits coming out and a conservatory that is a British in me I've got to put a conservatory in every single house I tried to make it look pretty with all the pillars and things make it look nice and modern because I feel like this is what a real celebrity would live in I mean you tell me if I'm wrong I feel like it looks a lot better the windows are from the growing together pack if you're wondering in terms of the inside I wanted to just do like some big stairs going straight up and then upstairs I've made enough room so that we have four bedrooms downstairs as well I kind of wanted to like include different areas of so I was thinking living room on the left Kitchen on dining room on the right what are we doing at this little back but here that looks like a car so absolutely no idea seeing it currently exists as a shell with no Furnishings in it I will pop it on the gallery so if you did want to download it yourself you can try in you know furnish it make it look nice because I think I did an okay job at the Shell I mean anything could be better than what it was before first seat before I forget lot traits we'll do Party Place feel like gonna have a lot of parties in here we'll also do com vivial that basically means I think you can practice social skills there so obviously we will change up the wall and floor swatches but I'm thinking okay we actually pop a kitchen in here these days I rarely ever use cool kitchens stuff but today I'm actually in the mood to use it very rare I use it I think it's a little bit iffy I do think it is a hit or miss kitchen ironically seeing that's our point of the pack but it's okay I just think it's kind of weird how the top cabinets are so shiny and open yet they're kind of like a little bit bare and empty on the inside although I won't use the cool kitchen stuff oven I really really love the jungle Adventure oven my favorite in the game am I having two of them so I do think it is nice making an expensive house because normally I only ever use cheap things in the game because I can't really afford because I always have this pressure or I must make a start at home but today we're going all out so maybe we can actually make a nice looking space and I didn't forget to paint the ceilings in every room and yes I did paint them all beige now we finally got the ceilings update like all I do is just paint my ceilings beige so they don't really look that different to how they did before I just feel like I have to do it and I'm thinking in the conservatory too we make it at least like a nice little breakfast nook I mean the area is big enough to do it although let's be honest like in reality Sims are just gonna eat here permanently you'd never be able to get them to eat in the dining room because they're just eating the closest possible place although we have got this big open space as well in the kitchen I'm thinking what do we actually put in here this is the thing about making these like big obnoxious Mansions it's like what do I actually do with the space we've got so much space maybe a little bit too much maybe we could actually close off the kitchen area itself then maybe we could open it up if we use some pillars maybe something like this I think it's a good way to add separation of space but we still haven't answered the question what do we put over in here because over here I'd like to have a dining room I'm coming off already the bar do you know what we're going to ignore it for now and we're going to move on to another room and then we can deal with it later I change it to a wooden floor plank although I do really appreciate the Cobblestone wall so I would like to keep it like that because even though it's quite modern on the outside I want it to look relatively classy on the inside it's a shame that in this Sims 4 we don't have those like really long obnoxious tables do you know the kind I'm talking about I think it'd be really fun to do something like that in the game added an oversized rug I never get to use these huge rugs because they're literally always too big but for once we're actually you can be able to use one I'm also thinking of adding maybe some bookshelves in here because the space obviously needs filling maybe a chandelier in the middle although before I forget okay in the top of the house you can see we have this like roof bit at the top but I left it quite blank obviously we can't build anything there one like key characteristic of all of these big obnoxious Mansions is that they have huge chandeliers and it's always like the ugliest chandelier you've seen in your life I mean we could always use something like this and size it up just like that and it'll sell atom not sure what to think of it although actually I really like this one over here you can't see it properly but I think it looks nice I do love the twerking pig so to keep it a little bit cursed I am putting a twerking pig looking out the window there we go we can have two they're a couple isn't that so sweet love that but going back to the dining room I try to keep it like open but also kind of messy I like the idea of having a dark dining room so we've got a lot of moot lighting it's very plant the very opposite to Modern but I feel like do not this is very much me I don't know what anybody else is like but for me in real life when I'm making a belt like I'd love to have a nice open plan modern kitchen but then have like a really nice cozy dining room like I feel like I need both I do want The Best of Both Worlds am I admitting to being versatile no I am not solely talking about the Sims 4 builds here oh and I will put in this little armchair that came the Horse Ranch pack I do like that actually seeming that this is a pretentious rich people house we are most definitely having a dance floor and of course a bar I just feel like if I was rich and obnoxious and I had more money than I knew what to do with like I would make something like this in my house I feel like most people would I think the whole fun part of doing an Ultra Modern build is like you can get away with doing these really obnoxious things also I do have a little build tip which is if you only get together pack if you have like a big open space and you're like what do I do with this space literally put a closet in there obviously it technically found functions as a wardrobe but I think they're quite realistic in terms of making it look like a storage cabinet especially when a room is too big and you just need to like make it smaller although I think it's a little bit weird like do you want to come over to my house where we're having like a little nightclub party like it just feels a bit strange to me like fair enough having a house party but if you've got the whole nightclub thing going on I think maybe it's a step too far but not if you're rich now in a stark contrast to how dark and gloomy it is over here I've actually done a living room that I've tried to keep actually a little bit more like homely I say homely there's a bloody arcade machine in here nothing homie about that at all but I wanted to make it a little bit more open and fun and vibrant but also keep it kind of modern but kind of lived in it's like a games room living room that you might say so it's very casual we've got little bathroom ping pong table got a massage chair I've also done this connected to the gym I really wish we had like dumbbell says I never feel like home gyms in The Sims 4 field quite right and I think the main reason why is because we can't have like Barb out dumbbell sets that you can place into the space do you know what I mean I just feel like it would make it more cohesive I mean we do technically have the fitness stuff pack although ironically it doesn't come with that much Fitness stuff so we're gonna have to make you do with our fake Faker gym with a couple of equipment items in there now in terms of this awkwardly shaped room I'm not confronting that right now because I can't deal with it in terms of this little room though I have an idea there is a photography photo studio thing I want to see if it fits in the room because it's literally huge here it is it comes with the get to work pack oh my God it literally fits perfectly that's great because I feel like if you're a celebrity maybe you're doing photo shoots every now and then so I just thought it would make sense for the space because we've got so much space in this house I don't know what to do with it all also to make it look a bit more realistic I guess we need to cover the windows with some huge curtains see I love that little space actually though this right here I can't deal with it maybe we could turn this into like the main living room because obviously this one is like a video gaming room really a fun room you need I guess another kind of living room for entertaining guests we could always pop a fireplace in that make it look a lot more fancy do you know what when growing together first came out I said build mode was awful in this pack and I have changed my mind I really love the bill buy yes my camera has just died so you're not going to be seeing my face for the rest of video at least until it recharges although I don't really like the look of having two identical sofas like this it's a bit strange especially when they're quite bespoke whereas this one from the desert Lux kit this is one of my favorites because it's just so simple and we don't have very many simple Sofas in this game and then we can either have a two-seater sofa here or we can pop an arm chat I feel like an armchair would be better because if you're entertaining guests Maybe you as the Entertainer sit in the armchair I don't know how rich people work that sounds like a very obnoxious rich person thing to do forgive me if I'm wrong although that's a bit judgmental to say rich person is obnoxious not all rich okay all of them are obnoxious all of them are it is funny like like I'm so bloody cheap I don't know about anybody else but when I buy things online I always sort by Price low to high or if I go into a shop like I will just gravitate towards the sale wherever the sail rack is in a shop I'm the first one to it like I do wonder how do people change so much when they come into money I think okay this is getting a little bit deep for a Sims video but I genuinely think like some people are just meant to be poor and that's okay and I know that sounds really ridiculous to say but I know a lot of people who don't have much money but as soon as they come into money they just spend all of it immediately and it's because they don't know what to do with the money because they're not used to having it and they don't want it I think in a weird way when you're from a background and I'm saying this as a person who does come from a poor background so I'm allowed to say it I think when you come from a poor background it's difficult to know what to do with money so when you have it you freak out and you're like oh my God what do I do with this so I'll just spend it all right now and you spend it all at once I think that's what happens that's my guess anyway for me anyway when I first moved to University in the UK we get student grants given to you by the government and you know the poorer your household is the more money that you make because I come from a poor family I always got the maximum student grant and I remember when I first got it I literally spent it all within a month and it was supposed to last me six months but I was just like I have all this money and I don't know what to do with it so I just spent it because I just genuinely didn't know what to do with it so that's why I said what I said also these days I'm into cluttering my builds a lot more although one thing that does really annoy me is that like everything's so jumbled in the build menu in The Sims 3 you could create collections with your favorite clutter items so like you could pop things down really quickly and easily but in The Sims 4 it's a big jumbled mess the game that was supposed to be superior to the Sims 3 ended up being inferior because it's a lot more messy to go through build mode yes we've got a lot better objects in The Sims 4 but it's still a nightmare to find everything but I'm very happy with our plant delicious space is plantalicious a real word it definitely is not but I you know what I mean and again actually I'm thinking that we split this space up even if it's just with an archway just to make it help feel a little bit more coherent and together changing it to a carpet as well I think makes it look a lot nicer although this potted plant you've got to go I'm sorry you're too big here we go I think something a little bit less obtrusive was in order although a tick tock hack I found guys is use this base game globe and you basically put a plan on top of it and it's kind of like a plant pot I do it every single time now I place this plant down because I think it looks so much better like that also this Corner's weirdly dark I think there we go if I use a subtle sauce to like size it down even more so it's really invisible looks a bit brighter in here I love it we've got so many random rooms in this house like this long medieval Corridor that I'm thinking maybe we could pop a piano in this room over here something just to feel the space out a little bit then I think there's nothing wrong with turning it into like a cozy little corner I do actually really like the book Nook kit sofa absolutely ridiculous kit one of the most pointless kits in the game but I do really enjoy the sofa I also like the little rug that it came with too also just to make this room a bit curse I put a bookshelf and we are putting teeth in a jar teeth in a jar on the bookshelf just make it a bit more funny I do not think I'm capable of doing anything serious in this game especially doing a serious modern build so I feel like the little space looks quite cozy but we've got a big empty wall over here I could be lazy and put a painting but sometimes using a kitchen cabinet actually makes it look nice I mean because something like this work is it a little bit too much I mean the answer has to be yes it does work because I don't know what else to do with it if you have any ideas what to do with this space let me know but that's all I can think of right now now in terms of one of the random spaces here at this little room obviously we need somewhere in the properties to do laundry so I'm actually thinking honestly we just use this tiny space for a couple of washing machines tumble dryers I say a couple okay because I imagine if you're living here you're going to have lots of washing all of the time it's a very tiny enclosed space for this kind of thing but there's not much else to do with it and at least it's functional we'll also actually put the fire alarm system thing in here honestly I've never used this object in the game before so I don't know how it works but we're putting it in anyway and hello my face is back is that a good thing or a bad thing I hope it's not a bad thing so see me this little door here leads to the outside bit from this side I want to do another door on this side because we don't have one and it would make a lot of sense because you know this house is like a bit of a labyrinth so we need to make it as easy as possible for our Sims that's the only purpose of this hallway it just gets you outside or it gets you to the washing machine in terms of this room I'm thinking big obnoxious bathroom because the only downsized bathroom we have is the one that's in the games room so it would be nice to have another big obnoxious bathroom with a big obnoxious toilet one that speaks to you would it be weird to have a bath in the downstairs bathroom because like who would be showering down here do you know what I mean because the main bathroom would be upstairs unless we use the do you know what I genuinely in the entire game like I never use these Corner bathtubs like I just don't see a purpose for them now is the time to have a corner bathtub I'll never ever probably end up using one ever again so we may as well use it now although to be fair like I understand the issues the original person must have had making unless Elizabeth Ward's house I mean what am I about Elizabeth Ward her name is Judith Ward the townie that's supposed to live on this lot I don't know where Elizabeth came from anyway I understand the issue because it's quite a big lot like pretty huge even in this bathroom I'm thinking like what do we put in here it's too big for its boots because we've got everything we need in here unless we just do it the lazy way and at one of these like bathroom shelving units we could also use this horrific floor rack that came with the get famous pack the one that was in the original build I feel like we need to pay homage to the original build in some way also I had a little bit of a Eureka moment in terms of this space because it's very difficult to know what to do with it I'm actually thinking we make another living room I know you think he's such a third living room well you see originally This was meant to be like the guest room but it's starting to feel like too homely I feel like guests wouldn't want to be in here and of course this is the games room so I feel like maybe we just need a more formal living room assuming that this is a fancy pants house like we've got to have something that's a little bit Fancy Pants in here believe it or not I'm actually using a lot of the stuff from the flamingo kit here what's the official name of the flamingo not Flamingo kit peacock kit what is the official name of that weird peacock kit I don't remember what it's called but you know the one that came with like this horrific wallpaper here so I'm using some of this stuff from that kit not everything in the kit is nice but some of the things in like the more neutral swatches they do look very good I admit also like was it a peacock that it came with yeah it is actually a peacock I actually want to size it up and make it like a really funny centerpiece again like I feel like this is like something a person who has too much money would do actually yeah I want to keep it Pink as well the most obnoxious severe color and however much I detest my wedding stories did it not come with some kind of tea set there we go this thing I mean they could have just given us the ability to have a kettle with cottage living but didn't but we have this instead it's fine do you think it would be severe to go all out there and actually use like this crazy wallpaper I've never used it because it just looks so horrific like I wish they just toned it down a little bit and made it actually usable although I've made like a little dividable here we're definitely use this pattern on it though because I quite like that maybe we should just be daring guys and use this even if we just made it like a feature wall or do we just go on no we'll make it a feature wall I can't do the whole thing like that it's too much just a feature wall you know I was gonna say oh we're doing a formal Regal living room it's an absolute mess a mess on purpose okay maybe just a story in the law of the person who bought this house okay they like the idea of getting a modern build but when it comes down to it maybe they just also love it to be very eclectic I mean as I said before that is me I feel like I don't know if anybody else is like this but I feel like I'm in the mood sometimes for it both again I'm talking about the build not topping and bottoming am I a top am I a bottom that is for me to know and for you to never ever find out unless you're at least six foot tall financially stable and emotionally stable and you have blue eyes like maybe I will let you know otherwise I'm not telling you and you know I think it's fun sometimes to like get a big tall vars like this and just plop it inside this little table I put down it's a little bit weird I think sometimes when you just do quirky kind of things like that it makes the space look a lot more alive actually I think I'm gonna bring this wall out even more just to divide the space up a bit more also because it's me and I do like to make everything bloody curse I am popping gnomes all over here just makes a build a bit more fun I don't like playing an average I know people in general love playing an average that's why everybody likes to build the exact same American Suburban house every single time but like some sometimes like I just have this thing in me that's like this feels too normal and I can't deal with it I've genuinely like never been good at dealing with normal looking things you know like I start a Sims let's play thinking oh this would be lovely then immediately my mind jumps so how can I this up at least we made some use out of the little spaces all down here so I'll be honest with you I did give up Oopsy Daisy I lost a bit of motivation but I came back to this build later and I feel like it's finally done and I've done some massive changes so I actually use a lot of stuff seeing that this is to get famous world I use a lot of stuff from the get famous pack but also vintage glamor because they're basically the same pack I use the Vintage glamor wallpaper all over the walls here just to give it a bit more of a classy Edge also I sorted this area out I wasn't feeling it so I made the living room look a lot more cohesive by doing a full-on wall also I added these little trophy things because it reminded me of walking into like a Pokemon gym you know like in the old school Pokemon games oh the camera batteries die so you can't see my face for the rest of this video anyway you know like the old school Pokemon games where they had the little statues in the gyms I wanted to do that so I did I actually went literally crazy with the bedrooms because it's a get famous pack like I really wanted to just go all out there and make like the most ugly obnoxious rich people bedroom you've ever seen your entire life on here's the uh the balcony a bit more sleek and modern looking we also did a walking wardrobe over here we've also got a little bathroom again this was all with the get famous fat one mostly we've got a spare room which was done entirely almost with vintage glamor stuff because I wanted a little bit of a darker room in the house and then for the main bedroom I wanted to keep it get famous but I wanted to make it look a lot less dramatic than this monstrosity I didn't want both main bedrooms to be that severe so this one is a little bit more sorted you might say a bit more plain looking and we do have like a kind of like a walk-in wardrobe also now I was gonna make either another bedroom or a Hobbies room in here but I actually decided to turn it into a Panic Room we've got the bookshelf the door like the hidden bookcase store which I thought was cool and we've basically got like basic amenities so we've got like a toilet a sink we've got a sofa and a bed and a mini vending machine fridge thing also we've got the money vault in here as well which I thought was a cool idea so maybe you could have your sim live in a Panic Room probably the Panic Room challenge I don't know anyway as I said sorry my camera battery died this is on the gallery if you want it otherwise if you want to keep up with my save file you might also enjoy the next video here thank you very much for watching I will see in the next one
