Foxbury Dorms 🦊 || The Sims 4: Speed Build

hi guys it's almost a here so welcome to another speed build so today I am finally sharing my Foxborough dorm building dorm room building is that what you call it not exactly sure but I actually built this probably a month ago by now I'm not exactly sure built this forever ago and I have had it edited and ready to go for so long but the thing is I actually forgot about it which is ridiculous I don't think I've ever actually forgot about a build before and I was like going through my notes and going through my screenshots and I was like oh yeah I have this whole build that I never finished or at least never did the voiceover for and then I was going to do the voice over and we got eco lifestyle and so then I got distracted by doing builds for that and now I'm finally doing the voice over so hopefully those of you guys who have been waiting for this build aren't too upset with me and hopefully you don't mind that it took me so long and hopefully you still liked the build or maybe if you haven't heard me talk about it before hopefully just like it anyways so I'm of course building here in the world a bright Chester over on the Fox burry Institute I believe it's called over on that side of the world and I bulldozed the dorm room building that was here originally at parts of the speed build you might be able to see the one that's next door this one used to look identical to that one and I just yeah I just got rid of it I did think for a while about maybe renovating it and trying to improve it from it's like existing structure but I just thought it'd be so much better if I just start from scratch and built something completely different and I'm really happy with it I think all the rooms are really cool and I think the common areas are really nice actually the common areas are probably my favorite if I compare them to the bedrooms bedrooms are nice but I think the common areas are really cool here you can see I'm struggling with stairs this is a bit excessive but I do figure it out here in just a little while and get a single set of stairs there are four bedrooms this I keep wanting to call it an apartment building so forgive me if I sound like I'm struggling because I think this would actually be a really cool part of the building because each of the rooms do have a balcony space and so you could have like four tiny apartments well actually even more than that because you wouldn't need the bathrooms or the common areas and you could just turn those into apartments - and yet you could just turn it into a residential lot and definitely run this as an apartment have like a roommate system I think that would be so cool I love the fact that we got new apartments with eco lifestyle but I really want the option to build apartments in other places or I don't know I don't know exactly what I want because I do like the apartment system that we have in game I think it's really fun being restricted but I really want the freedom of being able to create my own apartments and have them work a little bit better so maybe if we just had a little bit different features like being able to have like separate bank accounts for our different sims and maybe being able to like set different rooms or different sections of the house to be only for those specific Sims I'm not sure if that's too much to ask for but that would be really cool who knows maybe in the sims 5 or something but anyway so the whole building has basically came together I might mess with the colors a little bit here on the exterior not exactly sure if I do forget anything please forgive me because it has been like I said I think a month it might even be longer than that since I've built this I can't remember exactly when I first mentioned it in a speed build but I mentioned it a couple of different times actually I could probably look at my video files and see cuz why not I have them open we might as well look and see when I started building this um I started building this back in April so yeah it's been a while its June it's not what it's like two months or something April May June yeah way too long but anyways um I think the floor plan has basically came together and oh like I was mentioned earlier there's four bedrooms each of the rooms have two beds in them which is a lot more than you need actually one of them only one bed because I was thinking I was like the RA is room I don't know if that's actually a thing I know it from the movie son-in-law are you guys familiar with that movie with Pauly Shore it's one of my favorite movies I used to watch it all the time as a kid it was it's still one of my all-time favorites but as a kid I watched it all the time and absolutely loved it but um Pauly Shores character in that movie he was the Resident Advisor for the dorm building and he was kind of a kind of like a slacker party guy and didn't really probably follow the rules and probably wasn't the best person to be the president advisors to be in charge of everything this person though I imagine that they're a bit more in charge of everything their rooms like pretty tidy and yeah they're just kind of the one that makes sure that everything doesn't go too crazy with all these students living together so I thought that was kind of nice so that's the only one that has one bed in it the rest of them have two and so it's like 15 Sims which i think is for more than you can have I believe you can have eleven it's ten or eleven but either way you guys can renovate the rooms for whatever Sims if you want single Sims on they can have like fancy dorm rooms like double beds but I definitely wanted to stick to like the single beds with the clutter and try to make it feel as much like a dorm room as I possibly can like I've mentioned previously in dorm room builds I never lived in a dorm I I've been to two three no two I've only ever been to two I've visited friends when they lived in dorms but never actually lived in them myself and yeah those are pretty limited experiences because of course there's lots of dorms all over the country and probably all over the world to I'm not sure how common they are in other countries in the US but yeah I don't know I don't have much experience but here anyways you can see I am decorating in the dining room I quickly decorated the living room and also the area with the ping pong table I thought that was kind of cool to have the ping pong table there is it being another one on the second floor and also another kitchen dining space living area and of course the bathrooms too because this build is humongous like honestly when I was building the exterior I did not realize how big this build actually was and so I had so much room there's even a couple of like study nooks these rooms that you can see at the front of the building here to the left of the kitchen and there's one on the other side am i into turning those into like little study rooms they're not super private because there's glass and doors leading into the common area and then the big glass windows but I wasn't too worried about I still thought I'd be kind of nice to have those as study spaces but here you can see I'm decorating at the kitchen I really love the kitchen I love the colors I was really trying to make it feel like Fox furry like use all of the oranges and whites and reds and browns and kind of like stick to that kind of like orange color scheme kind of and I think it looks really good so I'm definitely happy with that and I like the dining room space too I think it's a lot of fun and yeah I think this is basically it for the dining room and kitchen and also the one on the second floor is pretty much the same as oriented a little bit differently but the living area is pretty much all look the same but I think they actually turned out really good but over here are the study spaces like I mentioned so I put a couple of desks in here I also place no computers but I use those research computers I don't think you can actually do any actual interactions like you can on normal computers in the game I think they're purely for research free University correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not exactly sure I've never actually played with university besides like a little bit of play testing here and there but I placed a couple of them in here and then there's also a like a blank space so you can sit here with your laptop or you could sit here with a journal or your homework I think your Sims actually sit and do their homework rather than like have it at a table they like sit on a couch or a bed or something to do their homework which I wish they would actually sit at a table like the kids do I think it's just a little bit weird but either way it's not that big of a deal and then the other side ends up having the same decorations I get a bookcase in here too so they could have like resources and study material or just books for fun to read I think I also maybe get some bookcase in some of the bedrooms not very many though I think just a few in a few of the bedrooms oh not exactly sure like I said I built this like two and a half months ago it's so ridiculous but here I'm just copying over some of the items this study room is pretty much identical I feel like that makes the most sense for somewhere where students live this built probably by the school or something or you know they hired somebody to build this building for them they would probably have it be very matchy-matchy and use a lot of the same items and materials throughout the whole building and so I think that just makes it feel more cohesive and kind of more realistic not that I think this bill is really that realistic but I think it kind of makes it a bit more realistic that way but anyways here you can see I'm working on the bathroom so the bathrooms are unisex bathrooms with a toilet area I used the stalls that we got with Discovery University and then here I'm using the showers of the got from Discovery University and then some lockers too I think those lockers are based game if they're not basically and they can't with get to work hmm I'm pretty sure they're based game though I could be wrong but either way I put those in there because I thought it'd be kind of nice for them to probably put a change of clothes in there or I don't know to store things in them while they're taking a shower instead of leaving the mountain the open even though their bedrooms are just down the hall maybe they would just walk to the bathroom in their towel not exactly sure how it would work but anyways here I just copied over the bathrooms I do have a switch up a few things because the doors and stuff are placed in different places and it didn't exactly work but it still worked pretty easily and I just had to move a few things around so yeah I don't know I think it looks really good but here you can see I was copying over the furniture from downstairs like I said just to keep it cohesive here I was going to use those overhead cabinets underneath the TV like I did downstairs but for whatever reason they had this crazy shadow on them and I'm not sure why so I couldn't make that work but I end up finding I think just a side table or something and put it under the TV just to add the same decorations and clutter like the videogame console and a few different things that I had downstairs that I wanted to include upstairs but yeah it's basically all the same items and I'm just copying over furniture hopefully me going like between floors in the tube frustrating to watch but I tried to not make the camera go all over the place but here you can see I am struggling to find something to place out on the TV but I end up going with this side table that I think came from get to work and it came in this orange color that I was like really happy with because of course it worked with the whole you know fox furry color scheme that I was going forward so I thought that looks really good and then over here is going to be the kitchen unfortunately I couldn't copy over the kitchen because the windows and the orientation of the whole room is stuff really wouldn't have worked so I just copied over the items and this this kitchen is a bit smaller and I didn't have a place to do like a full dining room so I just did one dining table in the center of the room and yeah copied over the same chairs and a few decorations on the counters really not anything too crazy because I don't think a build like this would or at least a place like this in real life would have too much personal clutter items in the kitchen maybe like a few things but not too many I do think they probably have somebody come by and make sure the place was staying clean and tidy and they probably have to do you know clean it themselves too but there's probably somebody that actually comes in and cleans so I could have put the dining tables out here in the hallway but I really wanted to have like a common gaming area with another ping pong table and then some dart boards so I don't know I feel like it looks really cooling I think there's plenty of dining space I wasn't too worried about it but anyways I think that's it for the common areas and kitchen and the bathroom and all that kind of stuff and here was quickly decorating the hallways with some random things I honestly had no idea what to do with the hallways so I just put some signs up and some plans and then also that book cart which is like a library's book cart I thought that was kind of a cool thing to include just for like keeping school books or exchanging books honestly I'm not really sure because it's not an interactive item so it's totally up to you guys what you want to pretend it's used for either way I think it looks nice and it fills in the space good so here on the balconies though I do put a couple of chess tables will place this it down and then also on a couple of the balconies I get some gaming tables so they could sit there and play cards or something I thought that was kind of nice and then here I was adding in the final few I think just decorations to the interior I got rid of a couple of the plants because it felt a bit overwhelming when I did the cutaway mode with the walls so I deleted a few but anyways here I am finally on to the dorm bedrooms this is the first bedroom that I'm decorating obviously and for this room I go with kind of a opposites bedroom I think that's really like a fun idea for a dorm room because you're going to get paired with whoever like you don't have any say who you're going to be paired with at least I think that's how it works so what I've seen in movies anyways so um yeah you get a random roommate and so you're probably most likely not gonna be the same person you're gonna have different personalities and so this half of the room I do for somebody who really like wants to study space and technology and probably robotics and all that kind of stuff so I definitely use some space themed posters and decorations that we have in game and yeah I think this half of the room looks so cool I like the other half of the room too but I think this half is my favorite but for the other half I go with somebody who's very girly very romantic who's into fashion and probably parties and dating and this sim is probably super awkward and maybe a bit um flirty they probably have that trait or something so they're not the best when it comes to dating or socializing and they're just really into like studying and they're probably really into like watching their favorite shows or something like it probably does all about that kind of stuff and the reason I went with this theme for this half of the room was because of the bulletin board I was inspired by the color red but also just like the decorations on it and stuff it had like a heart on one of the days or something and so maybe that seems like a date they have coming up or something and then I found this bed and I was like this is perfect I'm gonna go all out with these decorations and I found things that I think actually work like so nicely I was really pleased with the way this room came together I was trying to not make it look too cheesy or anything was like a bunch of animal print but I do think this sim would probably wear a little bit of animal print they'd probably try to keep it like less like not so on then click the gaudy side and like they try to not overdo it but they probably have like a leopard handbag or something or wear like a leopard print jacket or maybe zebra striped pants maybe they maybe they incorporate it a little bit more in their wardrobe rather than in their decorations but yeah I really had fun decorating this half of the room I thought that poster also but I think him with city living that I have there just behind the lamp was absolutely perfect for this style and yeah I thought it looks so good and I also try to not clutter it up too much because I didn't think this thing would be particularly messy and then there I did place a mini refrigerator on the one side of the bedroom where the science sin sleeps and so maybe it's there a mini fridge I'm not exactly sure maybe they compromised and they share it I didn't really think about it too much but I didn't have space for two so that one was plenty but anyways here moving on to the second bedroom and this bedroom is like full-on athlete's bedroom they are all about going to Foxborough Institute they probably play soccer basketball whatever the sport may be I think you can pretty much just play soccer for the university's bottom yeah but that was a really fun idea and it gave me an excuse to use the beds that have the different prints on them and I used as tons of sports related items that we have in game I used that bath mat that we got from Parenthood you can see it here on the floor that looks like a basketball court and I give them a punching bag and then also that shelving unit that I think you from kids room stuff that has the trophies and then just different posters and like a ton of clutter I also give I think one computer desk in here I wanted a place to but I only had space for one but I was thinking that since they're jocks and I wanted to go for the more like stereotypical jock they probably came to school on a scholarship and not on their academic achievements so maybe there are a lot more into a lot more into sports you know they don't really spend too much time studying so they don't need to desks that was my thought process anyways and I was also thinking that maybe it could be really cool if they were like twins or something and they happen to get into the same school and so they were able to request it they share the same room of course that doesn't have to be how it is that's just kind of a fun idea that I was thinking and since they were siblings the school kind of like let them share a room together rather than like pairing it with some stranger or something again I'm not sure if that's a thing either purely just making it up but um anyways here I'm just adding some decorations to this shelf I always kind of struggle with like items to place inside of this uh on this bookcase but I think I made it work and then there I just placed that trophy thing that I was talking about and on the balconies of each of these bedrooms you'll notice that I just place a few things like I didn't think they would be like overly decorated with you know like wind chimes and plants and like a barbecuer and all kinda stuff actually I don't think you can place a barbecue were in the school builds I think if it's a student house they can't have a barbecue or a stove it's just so annoying I really don't like that I think I I'm gonna get their reasoning their reasoning is that they want your students to go out and socialize and they want to draw on that that game play and kind of force you to do it so you go to like the common buildings and actually have your sims go there to eat but I mean they still eat in the dorms a ton at least a playtesting I've done there's so much food here I don't know who is bringing all the food but there's always like full Thanksgiving dinners like it's ridiculous and like cakes and cookies and all kinds of crazy stuff I'm not really sure if they've changed that or if it still thinks it's been a while since I've played tested to build in this world or at least any student housing builds so I'm not sure but anyways here I'm moving on to the next bedroom I love this room I think it's so fun this half of the room I was thinking was for a chef slash comedian which is maybe like a weird combination to some of you guys but I thought it was a really cool idea my thought like my thought process behind this was they're going to school for the culinary arts maybe they want to become like a baker or you know a chef at a fancy restaurant or something but they're also really into stand-up comedy so they do that on the side to get some extra money but they're maybe not that very good maybe someday they'll do it professionally and it's just kind of like their dream but it's not like the most practical thing so there's their parents are probably like you need to go to school and you need to get a real degree and they're like well I love to cook so I'll become a chef but I'm still gonna like practice my comedy so I don't know I thought that was pretty cute so that's the idea I went with for that one and then over here is going to be the other half of the room and this half starts out pretty plain and neutral I don't think I really knew what direction I wanted to go with so I was just kind of placing objects until I got inspired and then here in a moment I think I changed either like the dresser color or the bed color I can't exactly remember what spurred it on but yeah I end up going with like this very purple color scheme and I think it's so cool and I don't really know exactly what this sim is into necessarily besides purple because that's basically all of the objects I chose we're like purple things in game I mean I did give them a guitar so maybe they're into music they also have quite a bit of makeup so maybe they're into music and makeup maybe they want to be like a singer and they're also pretty fashionable too it's a total possibility I'm not sure but I definitely really enjoy like thinking of the different personalities and finding items in game that I can like match to it sometimes it ends up like this works more of like a color scheme than a personality but I think that it's a bit of a personality there and then moving on to this room this is one of my most favorite rooms I think so cool because this half of the room is so cluttered and it's kind of crazy but hopefully you guys will understand my reference but if you guys remember the movie road trip then you guys would probably understand my reference but at the beginning of the movie before they actually go on the road trip Tom Green's character he lives in the student housing like dorm building and he has like this boa constrictor and all these crazy decorations so this half of the room was inspired by that character from the movie if you guys don't watch it it's a good one it's hilarious so since we don't have any snakes in the game thankfully I probably wouldn't place didn't treat it because I'm terrified of snakes but we do have frogs and we do have some different insects and stuff so plays a couple of them around just to kind of like give a nod to that reference and the idea that I had and I think this half of the room is so cool I love all the different posters and I don't know it's probably my favorite out of all the rooms just because I thought the character was really fun and I don't know I liked the idea of it anyways but over here on this half of the room I go for a more like partier rocker musician kind of theme I use a lot of musical posters and a lot of blacks and I also give them the electric guitar they have the juice keg and yeah they're just really into partying and they probably wear a lot of dark clothes maybe some like studded jewelry and that kind of stuff I thought it was a pretty cool theme to go for and I think it actually complements the other half of the room even though they seem like so different I think the person that's really into like frogs and bugs it's like the Tom Green character would really be into partying too maybe not as social cuz they're a bit eccentric and probably a bit weird at least to most people I think they'd probably be kind of cool but I think they'd probably get along really well so maybe they end up being like really good friends but the next room that I'm moving on to is going to be the RAS bedroom so this is the most plain and simple bedroom out of all of them like it doesn't scream personality but I wanted it to feel more clean and mature like they're trying to set a good example even though I feel like this building would be pure chaos and not one single person could really let me keep all these students in line and make sure that they're not trashing the place or throwing too many parties or whatever the case may be but yeah I still wanted to have one character that was kind of like the goody two-shoe they tried to make sure everything was in line maybe they're not even like hired by the school or anything maybe they don't actually work as an army but maybe they're just kind of taking it upon themselves maybe that's just who they are and maybe their parents had a little bit more money to get them their own private room because it's this room does have just one single bed in here so it's the only room that does and yeah I don't know hopefully guys will like this idea but I thought it was kind of fun just to mix it up a little bit because the rest of rooms are like totally crazy with tons of decorations I think there's like one other student that I was thinking was a bit scholarly and their room is pretty tidy or at least they're half of the room anyways I don't remember exactly what the other half is I'm sure it's not very tiny but anyways that's it for that room and then this next one is going to be for a sim that just loves plants so I can totally relate to this sim but I wanted to use lots of greens and there's the only room that has like a lot of greens and I was trying to avoid this color because well their rival school is bright Chester University and their color is green because they have like the dragon is their mascot and so I didn't want to like use too much but if this if this sim is going to be into plants they're more than likely going to love green and of course it just kind of works with the whole color scheme anyways because a lot of the plants are green so using green furniture just kind of matches really nicely and I think this half of the room is just so cute and I love the plants and different decorations that I'm using I think are I think are really nice and so I think I even end up giving them a couple of plants on the balcony cuz I figured they would be like the only sim to really worry about that or try to keep anything on the balcony that's alive or anything the rest of them are just like chairs like I felt kind of bad about that but I really didn't know what I could include on the balcony so if you guys have any ideas let me know but I think it leaves it a little bit more customizable even though maybe it's not I'm not sure but anyways over here on this half of the room is going to be for a gamer so they have a really nice computer setup they have tons of like posters are probably sponsored by this it looks like a soda or like an energy drink or something so maybe they're sponsored by that company and maybe they even like stream and make videos and stuff out of their room I mean I didn't give them any streaming equipment they don't have that is it called a streaming station not sure Kim give Amos back I didn't give that to them so maybe they just play online or something but either way I think that they'd probably do some sort of social media gaming from their dorm room and so I feel like the person who's really into plants um not that this is really that realistic because I'm a person's really into plants and I also like video games so of course you can like both but that sim I think they just like nature and plants and they don't understand video games so they're not into it but um yeah that was kind of a fun idea but there I did place a couple of plants on the balcony you for the plant loving sim but over here is going to be for a sim who loves art obviously they have tons of art supplies they have the huge art easel that came with discover University they have yeah just tons of art decorations and I think it looks really good and then over here on this half of the room this is more of a generic half of the room like I really tried to keep it more plain and simple I mean there's a blue color scheme kind of but I didn't want to overpower it with too many like specific themes I did want to leave one of the rooms a bit more neutral and not so themed I guess is the best way I can describe it and I think it looks good I still really like it I feel like there may be in the movies or something because there's the movie poster but I feel like they could really be they can't really be into anything so yeah I don't know I like doing these kinds of room so when I do at the dorm buildings because I feel like it's a little bit easier to move like any random sim in if you just want to have your sim go to university they could easily choose that bed and then you could quickly switch out some of the decorations to suit your sim without having to replace so many items that are specific to a certain style at least that's my thought process behind it but anyways here I'm moving on to the last dorm room and this one is going to be four on the sim that I mentioned earlier that's a bit scholarly so I use this one statue and that's pretty much I mean I kind of had this idea from the beginning as you can see I'm going with very like neutral colors and for whatever reason anytime I want to go for a personality where a sim is like very studious and organized I always go for like very plain neutral colors and try to keep the decorations to like a minimum so I don't know but either way once I found this my since dull I was completely set on the idea it is really like sunken in for me because I think that statue looks like a little like scholar or something am i is that just me am I making that up either way I think it's adorable and then on this half of the room this sim is completely opposite I don't think they care about school that much but they're really girly they're really into like fluffy cute things like kittens and bunnies and stuffed animals and they're very childish and probably a bit immature and so I think they're totally different and they probably annoy each other but like I said earlier I think that's totally like the fun of thinking of the Sims that live in these types of buildings and my plane in a storyline like this I think it's I think having like opposites is pretty cool so yeah that's the idea what with and hopefully you guys have liked this build sorry it took me so long to share it I know it's been yeah like two and a half months like I mentioned a couple of different times which is absolutely ridiculous hopefully that never happens again because it is so hard to do a voiceover after waiting this long but I managed and we are coming up on the screen shut so I hope you guys have enjoyed this one and I hope you guys do it or a screenshot so thank you so much for watching and please leave any comments or stupid and I'll buy [Music] maybe there's some good heart hanging on [Music] maybe there's some new stars going on and on maybe some maybe some never stopped Oh [Music] and finally [Music] we [Music] maybe hold maybe not we [Music] something good something [Music] maybe what we got [Music] make a song play [Music] Oh [Music] and finally [Music]
