With the werewolf pack coming out next
week I've kind of been thinking a lot about all of the other occult types in The Sims 4. We already have vampires, and spellcasters, and
mermaids, and aliens, and ghosts, all of this. And I don't really play with
any of those like, at all. I don't even think I could tell you
when I last played with a vampire. And I feel like I need to like, freshen up
or something because I just don't really use occult Sims, so I kind of forget
about gameplay features for them, and I think it'd be nice to like, refresh
my memory before the new pack comes out. And look, it's not that I hate occult
Sims, okay, I think they're kind of cool. I just don't really care to use them that
much, I guess I'm just not super into it. We all have different play styles and
mine does not really involve vampires. Although, I do have like, a
newfound fascination with Vlad. Maybe that's why I'm doing
this, it's because of Vlad. He might be one of my favorite Sims, I hate to
say it, it's really -- my opinions have changed. I used to be very anti-Vlad now, I'm like a
Vladdy Daddy stan, it's kind of concerning. So I'm planning on playing with the vampires and
spellcasters on stream tomorrow, but to do that I'm gonna need a house, so I was thinking we could
try and do like, a little vampire starter home. I don't think I've ever built a vampire
starter home. I've definitely renovated this house, but I don't know if
I've ever built one from scratch. This world's actually kind of cute too, I
mean, well, it's not really going for cute, it's kind of going for scary, but it's
actually kind of cute, it's a nice lot. I'm so curious to see the new werewolf pack world because I wonder if it's gonna be like
this, like, kind of small and compact. It's gonna only have like, five lots,
but I feel like Forgotten Hollow is a lot smaller like, in walkable
space than Glimmerbrook is. All right, I'm gonna stop rambling and show you my inspo picks. I saw this one and
I thought this was super cute. This is kind of similar in shape to
the original starter home on this lot, but hopefully ours will be
like, a little bit fancier. This one is a real house that I also thought was
absolutely adorable. I wish that we had more of this, like, sort of trim pieces that are a
bit fancier, but we don't really have that. And this shape I think is a little bit
more doable for the budget that we have. I think maybe I'll try and do like, a combo
of both somehow, I don't know, we'll see. Oh, I guess that second one might also be better
because it's a bit wider and this lot is so wide. We don't really need a long skinny house
like this way, it's better for it to be wide. Okay, I don't think we should have a medium
wall height, I think that's a mistake. This does not look as good in The
Sims as it did in the picture. In the picture it looked way
cooler, so that's not good. I guess we could maybe do something like
that, I don't know, I think that looks bad. Oh, but if we use the taller wall height,
we could use like, the fancy vampire stuff. Is that unreasonable? I know it's like, really fancy. I'm not sure if it's
like, too fancy or not though. It's cool, it looks like the picture, so. Oh wow, I can't make it
taller because of the frieze. I'm gonna spend all of the money on
the exterior if we do this, like, using this stuff is probably a mistake because it
is extremely expensive, but it looks really cool. Oh, I kind of always forget that this Vampires
fence exists, and that one's a lot cheaper. I think that actually looks okay, now
the question is do I -- oh my god, I'm so bad at like, doing color
schemes on buildings like this. The house in the pictures
that I liked was very white, but I don't know if that's -- probably
fine, right? Yeah, sure, it's fine. I think I want to get a chimney
over here, again I'm spending too much money on the outside, but
I think that a chimney would help. Just something to make it feel more,
I don't know, finished or something? Oh, I kind of like that door, is that good? Or should we have it
have a black door with a white frame? I wish the door was a little bit
taller, I know we have a taller door, but like, I'm not -- I'm not putting that on here. That doesn't work. I think luckily we can get away with having very minimal windows because
it's, you know, like, a vampire house. Okay, I know the inside of this is really, really
small and I think that's okay. Eh, maybe too small, I was thinking we could put a basement
in here though which would probably help. Maybe I'll get like, an addition
on the back somehow or something. Oh, that's helpful I think,
okay, because that could be like, the bedroom that they don't really
need because they're a vampire. They also don't really need
a kitchen because they're a vampire, but we want it to be
functional at least still, so. Okay, here's what I'm working with, this might be weird. I also have a lot
less money than I thought I was going to, maybe I have to make it have less of a fancy
floor plan because this is a little bit much. Maybe I won't keep that wall there. I'm thinking small kitchen, small bathroom, bedroom, again, very minimal
windows, it's a vampire house. I wish I could use fancier
doors and stuff for this, but we just shouldn't. Like,
we really, really shouldn't. Okay, very small basement. What we're getting is a
very small basement, and I need to lower it a lot. I always have hated how it does this, the way
it like, floats. Okay, that's the max height. I think that's fine, like, the location of the
stairs being right there. We could put like, a secret bookcase door or something. [GASPS] Wait! Okay, I won't lie though, I don't like the idea of a secret bookcase
door because it's not gonna fit right. I need more space, my house is too small. Okay,
in hindsight, maybe we can't afford to do that. I want to have a basement, but I don't think we
can afford to do anything fancy with it like that, I wish that we could, but look, the best we can
do is put this door in that corner and that's sad. Like, it's gonna look weird back there. It also doesn't even come in a trim
color that matches anything. I wonder if we could put a second one -- I
know obviously you can't actually use that, but purely for like, the decorative
side of it being on both sides. I wonder if it's worth doing
that, or if that's like, weird. Because then maybe it's a little
bit less obvious that it's a door. Okay, I'm gonna put wood floors like, pretty much everywhere up here, but
probably a stone in the basement. I also wanted to use a different staircase. I
was not gonna keep the green one, I promise. Should we use this brick outside? I feel like that color brick is very busy, I don't
know, doesn't it look kind of off? I wonder if we did this one.
See, to me like, that is better, but then I don't like the color of
the roof anymore, so that's annoying. I don't know how to do this.
I'm like, so not an expert. We also have like, proper vampire stuff, like, we have this vampire shower,
but it's like, 1,200 simoleons. So let's just go for the
cheap stuff for now, okay? I would like to have something fancier, but
I'm gonna be realistic and admit that we can't. Do they even need toilet paper? They're a vampire. No, we can keep it, let's try and keep
some decorations, like toilet paper. We have some kind of cool vampire floors, I guess we could probably -- I don't know,
I don't think I like that color though. Those ones kind of match, but maybe I
shouldn't do anything too ridiculous, maybe I'll go back to this. Okay, let's think. Cheap fridge, cheap oven.
Realistically you might not even need this. Like, if you're playing with a vampire. Oh my
god, the counters are 320? Okay, I won't use them. This is harder than I thought, the vampire items
are really expensive. Okay, well I was gonna say realistically if you're playing with a vampire,
you might not even need the kitchen, but it's also likely that you aren't playing with only
a vampire so you might still need the kitchen. Maybe I should do -- hang on, what if
we just had like, one less counter. It makes me sad, but it might be necessary
because we can't really afford much. Smaller room back here, yes, I think so. Smaller room down here, yes, I think so. Maybe even a little bit smaller
than that, yeah, I think so. I was literally just gonna give them
like, one candle though on the wall, and I think that's okay, I feel like that's
kind of what we're going for with this. Luckily the coffin is cheap so
we can put that down here too, and then like, spider webs and stuff are free
so we can definitely add a couple of those in. This vampire doesn't need like, railings
or anything, right? They're a vampire. I think they're fine. I don't think
they need them, it's fine. Okay, luckily these fancy wallpapers are cheap. Look at that, two simoleons,
good stuff, thank you very much. I will gladly accept that. Eugh! 4,800! Oh my god, everything
in the Vampires pack is so expensive. Like, even the paintings, 715? Oh no-no, this is not this is not a starter
home building kind of pack. Not even remotely. Okay, well I'm thinking that we
can sort of double up this rug, luckily it has some nice swatches
and I'm thinking that we could use it in front of the fireplace, which by the
way, I would very much like to have. I don't think we can use the one from the
pack, but I think we can use this one. I might also use a slightly fancier sofa, again acknowledging that maybe it's a
poor choice because it's a bit pricey, but sometimes it just feels necessary because
I don't really know what else to do about this. Okay, windows are cheap, windows are cheap,
and they give us additional decorations. That could be nice, right? Okay, I'm wondering
if I can redo this, I wanted the fireplace to be in between the bookshelves, but
I'm wondering if we could get it like, I don't know, maybe we could put some sort of
other furniture item between the bookshelves, and then we could keep the rest
of the house kind of like this. I don't think the purple is good either, but now everything is gray, so
maybe I'll keep it, I don't know. This is harder than I thought it
would be. See, this bookshelf, that's what I really want, but
it's 2,000. We can't have that. Even this is like, 180. 475?! Oh
my god, it's all so expensive. I'm sorry, I'm like, laughing because it's
so ridiculously expensive that it's funny. Okay, we can have them have a little table. I have to stop though because we really
need to put furniture in this bedroom. They will be lucky to have this bed, and I think luckily we can use some cheap furniture. I
feel like that stuff totally fits and works. Oh, maybe that color of the rug is better. Why
does a single rose have to be 190 simoleons? I want to put something cute
like, on the table, you know? I'm also really wishing that I had more money
for things like, I don't know, coat racks, just like, the smaller more
decorative stuff would be nice, but I'm not sure we can really
put any other furniture in here. I wish that there was more going on further
back, like, I wish we had something here. I wonder if we could put -- 2,400 -- oh, I should stop using that. I put that in my
houses so much. That's really expensive. Oh, I didn't realize. Maybe something on the wall? What if there was like, a
single chair? No, that's creepy. Ah, maybe this mirror could be good. That could be
a good space filler. All right, it's very bland. It is very bland, but I want to save
a little bit of money for the outside because for example, we need a trash
can, and now I have 352 simoleons, so. Things are not looking good for us. Okay, I want
to get lights on either side of that front door. I'm breaking out the debug, bb.show
hidden objects, bb.show live edit objects. Okay, I don't love this house. I won't
lie to you, I don't love this house. I'm really, really hoping for some good
vampire debug. We have so much pretty ivy in that picture that we were looking at,
the real one had so much pretty ivy too, but I just feel like we can't put that
because it's like, 45 simoleons each. Ooh, oh my god, that's really large. I do think I want to put some of these
around. Not that one, that's too big. And I also think that luckily some of these
are really pretty. I wonder if it being on no foundation would be better. What do you think about that? Well,
I'm gonna get rid of the foundation for now just so I can landscape,
and then we can revisit that. This is probably gonna have
more landscaping than -- ew. Oh my god, that is very poor quality. Some of
the debug stuff is weird. I don't like that. But I was gonna say, this is definitely
gonna have more landscaping than most of the neighbor's houses because I don't think
they have much really at all. Yeah, see. But the neighbors houses are ugly, so I don't
need to match them, they should be matching me. Was it wrong with me to use those flowers? Like,
should I have put -- we could probably get, I don't know, some sort of little like, statue
thing kind of like what the neighbors had, they had like a little I don't
know, we can have one of those. Two can play at this game. I don't even
think I can afford to put the stairs in. Okay, good, we can still afford the stairs. Even if barely we can still afford the
stairs. What did they do for the path leading up to their houses? Okay, they
have like, proper stone walkways. Okay. There is a really nice stone from
the vampire pack, I love this, it's not that expensive either
so we probably could use this. It was like, 48 to place that there. I guess most of the landscaping is really
cheap, like, these dry rose bushes are only 20. I mean, that would make us match the neighbors
a little bit better so maybe we should do that. Perhaps I can have like, one rock. No, the one rock looks bad. I was gonna
try, but I don't think it's right. I don't want it to look so even, like, I
kind of want it to look a little bit more, I don't know, I was gonna say natural, but
nothing about this looks natural so I don't know. I also wish that I had a computer in this house, but I definitely spent a lot more time
and effort on the exterior than like, the interior, which you know, it isn't
bad, but it's also not necessarily good. We have 90 simoleons left, I wonder if we could
put like, perhaps a mirror there and that's it. That might be everything. Oh no, we
could always get some more cracks on the wall down here. This is free,
so if we want them, we can have them. Oh, yeah, I think that's kind
of fun. I do like the basement. It's expensive to buy a basement, but
I think it was worth it for this too. And overall I think this house actually
turned out kind of okay, I think it's cute. You could probably class it as a
two-bedroom house as well if you wanted to. I'm only gonna class it as one 'cause,
you know, it's got a secret basement. But I actually quite like the look of this angle,
I really wish that we had more furniture, like, I think that this hallway is kind of wasted space, but you can always add to it when
you're actually playing in it, you know? And I think story-wise it sets you up pretty well.
Well, there you go, that is the build complete. I recorded this at 6am, I'm not kidding,
um, so hopefully it turned out okay, and with that being said, I'm gonna go, and
I will see you all tomorrow. Bye everybody. Great work everybody, 6am recording, done. And it didn't even turn out terribly. [ JAZZY OUTRO MUSIC ]
