I made a video recently where I had my sim try
and get rich quick by selling his knowledge. It sounds ridiculous, but you can
actually do that in University. Uou can use those research machines to like, contribute your knowledge
and then get paid for it. It seems like a good idea, but my sim did die twice in the process so maybe
it's not the best method. Something else that I noticed
when I was playing that save was how absolutely horrifying this lot is. I honestly think that this house might be
the ugliest starter home in the entire game. I'm sorry, but I'm not afraid to say
it, what is this? Why did they do this? It's a great lot too, it's like, so close
to the water, the library is just up there, we have these beautiful
neighbors, and then boom, this. Whatever this is. Truly this house is
absolutely horrifying. It's not that bad furniture-wise, like, it's got a proper
living room, it's got a kitchen/dining space, it only has one bedroom when
it could totally have two, but it's a starter home, they always
do weird things with starter homes. It's mostly just the exterior that
I absolutely cannot believe. Look, I've tried to renovate, I've done it
before, it's been a while and I kind of blocked it out of my memory, but today
we're just gonna kill it and start over. I really want to try and go for a style that's
kind of similar to the neighbors houses. Originally I wasn't gonna try and do a starter
home price for this, I was just gonna build something, but we could probably manage to keep it
with 19,000 simoleons, I think that might be okay. The beauty of this is that University came with so many absolutely incredible doors and
windows, so we have a lot to work with. These are like, some of my favorite windows
in the entire game. There is a little bit less furniture in the pack though, it's
kind of weird because you would think that there would be more furnishings, but
a lot of the furniture is very like, Ikea dorm furniture, and then we also have these
like, beautiful old building style windows. It's fun, but it definitely is a weird combo.
Oh no, and the doors are expensive, that's 390. And the window that I wanted to use costs 240. I really want to do it though, I love
that giant window, it's so pretty. Oh my god, why are those different colors? No, no, no, why -- why are those different
colors? Oh my god, the swatches on these things. Do you ever just want to
cry because of Sims items? It feels like this window is
supposed to match this one except that one is way skinnier, so why
did they do that? Even that looks ugly. I want to like, scoot it over a
little bit, maybe have it like that, but then I have to have a three-wide
staircase and that's ugly. Oh my god, okay, my patience is being tested. Oh my god, it deleted on my window
-- oh my god, why does it do that? I tried to delete the underside of the
stairs and it killed all my windows. Okay, put that back, put that
back, everything's gonna be okay. Besties, we're gonna get through
this, we're gonna be okay. Well, I was initially thinking we would do
something kind of like this on the roof. I don't know, it doesn't look good. That's the
problem, it like, actually doesn't look good, and it needs to be at least two bedrooms,
but then how is it gonna be a starter home? Maybe it needs to be wider, but then the
windows are gonna look so puny on the wall. See, that's sad. I guess we could do the wider door if we did this, but that one doesn't have good swatches, like,
I don't understand why they don't all match.
Oh my god, you know how I was
complimenting the University windows? I take it back, I changed my mind,
no longer am I complimenting them. I actually hate them, why don't they match? You know what, I can tell already
this video is going to end in tears. I can just feel it coming, there there will
be tears by the time we finish this video. Okay, the smaller the better because if it's
smaller, we have less space to fill on the inside. That is how you save money, you make it small because then you don't
have to furnish a lot. That's the key. I mean, well, it is really tall
and skinny, it just is also ugly. I think the problem is that it's never
gonna look how I want it to, like, in my ideal world, I would absolutely
love for us to be able to have like, three of these next to each other
and it actually function properly. I would love to have like, these neighbors houses
kind of mimicked on this, but we just, we can't. I wonder if we could use the tall window
that I originally wanted on the side here. It's a slightly different color,
but it's a -- no, I don't like that. Pain. Pain! Okay, this is fine. Is it good? No,
it's fine and that's all that matters. I wonder if we had it on less of a
foundation -- originally I really wanted the foundation because I felt like
that was important for it to look good, but if we did no foundation,
we could save some money. Oh, it just looks so weird
and small, that's the problem. This kind of house looks so weird. Do you think we could do it like this
and have like, the regular bottom floor white or something, and then
have brick on the second story? Why? Oh my god, why, why, why? The columns, they are so beyond upsetting. Okay, this is fine, we'll just do our
own, we'll do our own columns. I will spend a significant amount of money on
my own columns just so that I can be less sad. Okay, but the, you know, the houses next
door have brick on the second floor. We could always flip-flop it and do brick
on the bottom and then the white up top because then when we do the brick
on the chimney it'll look good. I don't like that brick, but we can do a brick. I don't like that brick either,
how does this brick look? Oh, that actually looks quite good I think
with the color of the windows, right? We can get like, a sort of pretty trim
too. That's 368 simoleons, are you kidding? The game is testing me. Well, it's
definitely gonna be student housing on the inside and by that I mean
there's gonna be like, no furniture. Okay, I just spent a significant amount of
money on windows, but at least it's done. 210? Oh my god, I just want to get a nice chimney. I thought it would be nice if we could have like,
some sort of little chimney accent -- ahh. No. Anyway literally any sort of chimney
accent coming out the top of this I think would be beneficial to us. There,
like that. Something to make it -- hm. Looks bad. Just you know, don't worry
about it for now, let's do the inside. Okay, think this through, we want
to have two bedrooms, one bath. We're gonna need a kitchen,
we're gonna need a staircase, maybe we could just kill that window
and then put the bathroom there, and maybe have the staircase -- ooh,
oh no, okay, that's really tight. I kind of forget that it's medium wall
height so everything is very large. Okay, it might be nice though to have the
stairs kind of like, tucked away in there. Should I flip them another way? Should it
be like, that way? Come on, come this way. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, come this way. Is it better like that? Oh, I think it's better likethat for the upstairs
at least. Okay, so we'll keep that tucked away. I don't know how to do the upstairs.
I did not think this through. Maybe the windows in the back can just be all
different, we can have them be all smaller because I think it would be really nice if we could have
like, oh, I don't know, this could be a bedroom. It makes for a really large hallway
upstairs, but that might also be okay. I quite like the idea of opening that up
to the downstairs. I mean we could also leave that open, I think that's pretty
interesting, I think it looks good. We do have a very long skinny room so I'm
not really sure what to do about that, but I guess that's kind of the same
size as like, that room would be? Oh my god, the house is so small. This
staircase is not in the best spot, I feel like we could probably get a
better floorplan if we had it more central or something because then we could
get possibly two bedrooms on either side. Even if the stairs were somehow like
that, I do feel as though that's worse for the downstairs floorplan though, but if the
stairs were like this we could maybe have like, a proper sized bathroom over here,
and then I guess maybe that's like, a little hallway back there and we could try
and have a desk or something, I don't know. Oh, I suppose actually if we do
it like this then we could have both the bedrooms upstairs.
Oh my god, this is way worse. Okay, this is a really skinny
hallway, but that maybe is realistic. I kind of want it to have a wall underneath, I
know that's maybe a bad idea, like, monetarily, but I think it might be better as
far as like, actual floorplan goes. How does that look? Eh, that's okay,
and then we have the two bedrooms. Okay. Downstairs, um, I don't know. Yeah, really unsure about that actually. Ah, you know what, what if we do a
little switcheroo, door on that side. 'Cause then this is better for like, a
dining table or honestly even the kitchen. I know it's not ideal to have the kitchen like, right there next to the front door,
but it might actually work for this. Oh, I can get rid of those stairs, okay,
that saves some money. We could have the kitchen kind of -- not that
color cabinet, no, no, no. Ew, they're all bad. I might use
a more expensive one, I'm sorry. I need this, I deserve this. Okay, we could do like, oven, fridge? Don't worry, cheap ones
because we're being reasonable. Yeah, I don't really like that, but I can also
admit that it might be the best we can do. I just scooted them over a tiny bit because
I was wondering if we could maybe get some tile. I might use a different tile, but
it could be nice to have some separation. Ugh, this tile is so expensive,
but that's what I want. Ooh, wait a minute, what if we did like,
this tile? Okay, this might work. I could probably get away with changing
the cabinets back if we did that as well. Okay, let's dig around through the pack
a little bit and see what items we think we really want to include because for example
it'd be nice to have a couple curtains in here. Those are 175? Okay, maybe we
won't end up keeping those. Maybe we won't keep the curtains, but we'll try. Upstairs we can definitely have just
like, the cheap University furniture. I think that would be totally fine. I want to for sure at least have a bed
and a desk in each room, obviously. I mean, that's kind of bare minimum, but we can maybe do a little bit of
decorating and obviously you know, placing them better. This room is tight, you
can't really put much furniture in here, can you? It's like, a combination of the door location
too, I guess we could probably scoot them over a little bit more just so there's
a little bit more space here. Oh my god, ew, the furniture is ugly. Yikes, okay,
well, we'll do purple in one of the rooms. I feel like the purple and
pink is kind of a good combo, and then I don't know, we can try and give
them a couple little cutesy cheap things. 65, this one's only 55, but I like these better
because these have a little bit more personality. Like the smiley ones in particular are super
good for this I think. Okay, that's all right. Maybe we have some books on the desk. Oh, I'm spending way too much money. Okay, you can't have a lamp, you just get
books, you can't have both, sorry. Yeah, I really wanted them to have
dressers, but I feel like there's totally not enough space for that in this room. Why is that a different color? Why
is that wood a different color? Can anyone give me an honest answer
as to why they've done this to me? Oh my god, okay, whatever. It can stay
that green color, the wood won't match, I don't care, I'm not upset. Okay, but in my mind, this sim is like, maybe on
the sports team or something so I like the idea of giving them a couple sporty items, like
we could maybe do some of this down here. Ah, I would love if we could
get some more decorations, like, if we could have some more pizzazz. Oh, you know what, this rug
is cheap, that could be good. It comes in a kind of nice green color as
well, should I use it as the small version? I like the big version, but ugh. It's so
much, there's so much that you have to fit. I'm starting to worry about money,
but I think it might be okay. This sim for sure has a worse
room, I feel kind of bad. Can I get a rug for you too? I mean even if it
was something simple like just the round one. It comes in -- eh, we could do the light color,
maybe they could have a plant or something. They also have a mirror so that's nice.
Okay, the laptops are so expensive. Like, the University one is 4,000, this
one is 1,600, I might just do like, the cheap -- no, no, no, I need a
laptop. We need a laptop, I'm sorry, I'm ignoring the gameplay unlocks entitlement
and I'm putting a 1,600 simoleon laptop in. I'm like, wondering if I can use this rabbit
rug, is that super ugly or is it cute? To have the little bunny rug
in there? It's only 70, so. And then I think I'll just paint
the walls like, a beige color. I know it's not ideal, but I think in real
life you'd probably find something like that. I mean, you're not painting the
walls in your University housing. You kind of just get what you get. Oh no, I spent way too much money
upstairs. We might have to get rid of the curtains, those are really pricey. Maybe this extra window can go away too.
We can have less windows. What if there's no windows in the back downstairs?
Wait, that's better actually, hang on. We don't need windows in the bathroom. Okay,
this bathroom is functional. It's not cute, but it's functional. Let's just get that same wallpaper
downstairs, again not my favorite, not my first choice, but I want to use like,
that bookshelf, but that's so much money. Let's just think realistically what
do we need? We need to have a TV. I guess we don't need it, but I
would very much like to have it. This giant couch is only 290,
so we can definitely use that. We can get a cheap console table to put the TV on. We could probably do like, a really cheap little dining set? Oh, we could probably
put like, a little dining chair right there. I don't have enough money
for counters! Okay, well, maybe we could delete the underside of the stairs. Ugh, I just don't like how it looks. Did
that save like, 700 simoleons though? Yeah, I think that we might have to.
I'd rather not because I think it looks better to have like, the underside of the
stairs there, but 660 just to have that? I'm sorry, it's just not worth it. We need to buy a kitchen counter, so
we have to get our priorities straight. Oh my god, that's so ugly, with the
blue and the brown, I kind of love it. No, we can't do that, we can't do that. Well, let's just think, what else do we
need? It might be nice to have a door out the back -- 390? Never mind. No door out the back. Is there cheaper ones? Like, cheaper medium wall height ones? This
one's only 275. It kind of matches too. Well, let's try and do that, let's
see if we can make that work, and we'll definitely do debug
landscaping so don't worry about that. Can't afford to landscape for
real, it's just not gonna happen. Can I use the two wide couch? Oh,
it's only 180, yes, that's good. That saves us a ton of money. No, this is actually ugly.
This is like, genuinely bad. Okay, maybe not that table,
we have a cheaper one anyway. I thought maybe we could make
the little thing work because then we would have some more style
to it, but it just didn't look good. It did not look good. Perhaps a lamp? Oh, I forgot about trash cans, okay,
we need at least one outdoor trash can. And I still haven't painted this
bathroom, everything else is fine. Maybe we could get a small trash can
there. Maybe if we had a small like, doormat? How much do coat racks cost?
85? Yikes, okay, 39 simoleons left. That's so pitiful. We can't even
afford a light on the outside, okay, let's get rid of one of these. You can have
just one of them. How much was that? 110? Oh, never mind, this poster is 20. No, you can have a poster, that's
all you get. You can have a poster. Okay, that's better because we have
some more money for the outside now. I feel like it would be really nice
if we could have a light in the front. This thing in the chimney was 210. I'm
just gonna delete it and have like, a pretend one. We don't need a real
chimney. We don't even have a real fireplace, I just wanted it because I
thought it made the house look better. Okay, it might be nice if we could have like,
something decoration-wise in the kitchen. It's actually so ugly. Are you seeing
this? Like, these tiles are so bad. I mean, I'm kind of going for like, cheap ugly
furniture, but it really is cheap, ugly furniture. Okay, pro tip to landscape
when you're on a budget, type bb dot show hidden objects, and
then bb dot show live edit objects. That opens up the debug cheats, and then if
you search debug in like, the search panel, you can see I've got all kinds of stuff, I've
got like, you know, giant walls, house shells. If you dig far enough, you'll find some
landscaping, things like these bushes, and it's free, it's not actually real landscaping.
This is like, the environment landscaping they use so think like, these trees back
here, even this stuff in the water. So sometimes it's kind of weird and like,
your Sims will walk through it and stuff, but they're not gonna like,
walk through this tree. And again, it's free, which we need. And sometimes there's better stuff,
like, sometimes there's all kinds of really cool things in debug that we
didn't actually get in the real game. For example, look at this ivy. We don't have
this in the regular game, this isn't like, in the build mode of this pack, but it's really
good and it looks really pretty on the building. And look, I don't know about you, but I feel like it makes a big difference when
you put it on here like this. But like, for example, look at that, doesn't that make a huge difference
on the front of the building? I don't know which one I want to use necessarily,
I'm not really sure how I want to like, fit these together, but -- especially because this
is now a square around nothing, I'll fill that in. Look, it's gonna have some trial and error, but we will figure it out and it'll
look really good when it's done. We just gotta -- yeah, that's so weird.
It like, has a frame around nothing. I don't want to put the window
back, it's too expensive. 145? No, I can't. It can frame nothing, who cares? Oh my god,
there's a lot of really weird things in debug. Oh, you know what, this bush might
be great because we can just put it down the side of the building.
Yeah, I think that's really good. And then -- I don't know, I keep
kind of like, going back and forth with these different pieces because I really,
really, really would like to use some of this. I want to have some ivy growing at the top,
but is that like, too close to the wall? Is it weird that it's on the window? I don't
know. Maybe if I raised it up a little bit more? This is pretty cute actually. You know what, I think I kind of love that and we'll get some
little landscaping here in the front somehow. Umm, yeah, I don't like that stone. Should
we do like, just a gravel or something? Yeah, I think this might be okay, because that does kind of match a
little bit better with the road. Do you know what's so annoying?
When the lots are just ever so slightly set back from the rest of the road. Why isn't that perfectly lined up?
Why is there that tiny line of green? This right here could make me cry. Okay, here's kind of what I was thinking
landscaping-wise, I think it looks okay. We do need a couple more things, like I think a
little bit more ivy on this wall, there's just not really anything going on on this wall so
it would help to have a little bit more stuff. And then in the back I'm
thinking we won't do much. We don't really have enough
money to do much, we have like, 360 simoleons left so I'm kind of just
picturing it being a spot for the trash can. And then maybe if you get some more
money as you play you could always like, add in like a patio table or something back here. I will quickly put a little
bit of terrain paint down. Also I feel like it kind of makes sense
for a house like this to not have like, a lot of outdoor space because it's
not like you've got a huge backyard. None of these houses would
have huge outdoor spaces, it's just this one happens to have
a full entire yard all to itself. That's the beauty of The Sims, sometimes
there's weird things that go on. And then we have 360 simoleons left, so maybe we could put in like, bookshelf
there because there isn't a bookshelf. I can afford one upper cabinet.
I won't do that, don't worry. Maybe we could put like, a
little tiny plant on the table? Oh, and we could get a light in the back
too, we only have the one in the front. I'm really trying to think of things
that are like, reasonable and also cheap, I don't know, I don't want
to put in too much stuff. Oh, these shelves are only 45. I can't afford to put anything
on them though, never mind. I guess we could probably just leave it. I'm kind of looking at like, any
other University debug items. I mean, there's like, a flagpole. I wonder if we could hide that in the
corner somehow. Is that a Britechester flag? Does that kind of seem like it's not
part of the house, but it's just in the area because I'm kind of trying to
fill in -- oh, that's a giant mushroom. I'm just kind of trying to fill in the lot a little bit with stuff that
I know we have access to. Ooh, wait a minute, I don't think I
remembered that we had this, but that could be really good if we could have like,
a little sort of fenced in yard or something. You know, even if it's small and even if it just
stops at the end or something and it doesn't like, properly enclose the whole area, it
might be nice just to have a little bit more going on because otherwise it's just nothing. And those are free debug pieces. You know what, I feel really good about this
house and it's only like, 19,000 simoleons. The original lot name was
Honeydew Fields, that is so cute. And I think the house is cute too. And it's
also useful because it's actually two bedrooms, you could totally have a sim come
live here. Two Sims come live here. It's kind of making me wanna play University
again. It's been a while since I actually went to college, although I did do a whole
stream where I tried to have Stanley Humphrey, my hot dog sim, try and get rich in University
by studying crime, and then he graduated and then he died, like, right afterward, so. It'd be nice to try and play for real again,
you know? And and not do things like that. Anyway, thank you for watching this
video, I hope that you enjoyed it. Feel free to subscribe if you want
to see more Sims content because I make a lot of it, every
day. A lot of Sims content. And with that, I will catch you
all tomorrow. Bye everybody. I just love the ivy from
this pack, it's so pretty. They've added a little bit more of
it in some more recent packs too, but like, I want more, give me more. Hands down one of the best items in the
game, and it's in a weird debug cheat. [ JAZZY OUTRO MUSIC ]
