I tried fixing my little sister's builds in The Sims 4

so my little sister shanna has gotten really into the sims 4 again recently which of course warms my cold little heart she's been playing a ton she's mostly just been downloading houses off the gallery and like using other people's houses but this weekend she tried to build the house actually the direct quote she texted me was i tried building a house did not work and she sent me a picture and we were like talking about it i was trying to help her a little bit and she asked me to renovate it for her and so today we are going to do just that now just to clarify i was given permission to make fun of this house she wanted me to that was the whole point of it right although she was very concerned about getting gallery hate comments so please don't be mean to my little sister she also used custom content which i don't have and she didn't landscape the house but she furnished it a little bit and she's got a few packs two bedrooms one bathroom honestly the house isn't bad i just probably could use some help with the roof so let's try and fix it shall we she built it down here on this lot and you know what this video might be helpful for those of you who are starting out building because listen i am only good at building because i build so often like i make houses in the sims multiple times a week i mean i build like five six seven houses a week and that's why i'm pretty good at building nobody's first house looks great and the house itself is really cute of course you use the most expensive appliances too we got a 13 000 simoleon stove living room's nice christmas tree bathroom two bedrooms i mean it's a decent house i wonder if she's actually playing in this house i assume she's got a toddler then so we can we can decorate the house to fit the sims i'm gonna be honest i think i think the roof could use a little bit of help so we'll probably redo the roof the floor plan is pretty much fine i might add like some porches and backyards and stuff this will be good this will be easy all right i'm going to rotate it though because the lot technically faces this way like when i post this to the gallery this will actually be the front now maybe delete the snowman too i'm sorry mr snowpal you didn't deserve that kind of want to move the stairs i think oh she put the oh shanna she put the look the wall is cutting through the bathroom i didn't even notice that and this is blocking the window okay we'll have to rearrange this one i might delete all the windows in the back of the house i think maybe getting a porch would be really nice maybe like a bigger front door too okay that'll be good okay step one we want to get a nice big roof oh maybe that's too big of a roof how do i want to do this that actually looks pretty okay so a lot of times when i'm roofing houses like this i'll put the roof pieces in the biggest parts of the house first so this part is like the longest so i'll i'll drag this fully across and put a roof like that we'll get a smaller one in the front just as like a decorative piece right and then in the back this part's kind of hard i don't really know what i would do with this i probably wouldn't put like a giant one because then it's like so big and it looks kind of funky from the front like it's kind of hard to tell what to do with that so i think what i would do is probably just get like a half gabled roof and put it back there so like if i were to keep the house exactly the same i'd probably roof it like this obviously i would do some things to make it clip less over here like you know drag that in with this part you can make like two pieces of the roof this is a little bit complicated seeming but look we want one to be like just in the corner and then you copy it you put another one and then you delete the overhang there so that way it looks like the roof is kind of blending in it kind of has like a little weird flap but it looks okay and i think just in general that looks really nice from the front i feel like we should try to get some sort of like maybe the back porch it can be a really simple house just like a little back porch right there it doesn't have to be big and fancy shannon has island living seasons cats and dogs city living parenthood and dine out okay i also want to keep her color scheme like we'll keep the white paneling on the top floor although i'm going to use columns instead of uh that trim because the trim is kind of scary looking and we'll keep the brick on the first floor i might put like some sort of trim to separate it though that looks good right we're gonna have to redo the windows the windows look a little bit silly we can keep them in the front though i think the front of the house looks nice i'm not trying to change like shanna's entire build because i want her to know that she did a good house like we we can keep this whole thing and it's perfectly acceptable usually i would use the get together columns but i don't think she has get together so i'll use these base game ones that is wood right yeah okay i just like it i think it helps to have like that finishing touch you know hence why i do it in every single one of my builds oh i don't know what color she painted the roof because it was snowing i'm gonna bet she probably didn't paint the roof because it was snowing so i'll just put like a this one i don't know it looks fine see i think that looks really nice i'm a little bit biased but i think it looks really good i have never been a huge fan of this flooring i'm gonna be honest this is like in my mind well it is it's rustic subfloor slats like it's a subfloor so in my mind it looks very unfinished so i'm probably not gonna use it i'm sorry if you like it no harm i'm just gonna pick one that's like a similar color but slightly different i like what she did with this i i like how the living room looks i think i want to move the stairs though i don't know i just i feel like that's helpful that's better maybe i don't know maybe i hate why i hate how that clips in the sims 3 used to be able to put the railing on just one side of the stairs which makes way more sense i don't know why you can't now like it clipping with the window looks so weird oh well it's fine everything's fine i'll make the bathroom slightly bigger i think cause that'll be the parents bathroom so it's fine if it's big and then i wonder how we're gonna do this should there be like an overhang like an open staircase i feel like shanna would like that yeah let's do it there's plenty of space and then we could still have like i don't know a desk or something up here i'm sending her a progress photo trying to keep her furniture too but i i don't know let me just add some lighting really fast it's kind of dark in here we need to figure out a second bathroom i think but i don't really know where to put it i guess if it was like that the kitchen could be oh this could work really well actually these doors have windows in them i like the doors too but they've got windows in them i don't know about a window into the bathroom especially like right at eye level i guess it's no big deal if it's you know just like the parents bathroom but i mean get some like kind of fancy ones too to be honest i was using this giant window before is that super weird i don't think that's super weird it's a nice extra window although it doesn't really work this is gonna be the kitchen i was gonna put cabinets in front of it like do i really want to have cabinets blocking it no i don't i don't actually care we'll figure it out what tile does she like oh let's keep that tile that she picked oh no why didn't oh because there's not because there wasn't a wall there i was sitting here wondering why that was painting everything it's because it wasn't actually a room but i fixed it it's fine i would like kill to have a fireplace like this in my bedroom wouldn't that be so cool i am jealous of a sim again why do they have all these bottles in their bedroom why do they have a bar in their bedroom all right shannon i'm sorry i'm deleting those i don't know how to tell you this but i i don't really see the point in those oh i like how she had the under cabinet lighting we can bring that back too maybe this stove could go there it's a weird kitchen i'm just trying to figure out like how to make the kitchen bigger you know but we've obviously stuck it back in a corner so what's that oh is that a plate there was a dirty plate stuck in the wall your sims put their plates in the weirdest spots this has probably happened to you too in your games where your sims just have plates in like random places shanna had the parenthood upper cabinets but the island living bottom ones should we should we like swap it out they also have two fruit bowls in this house do you think they have enough bananas i think shanna probably likes that it has the white cabinet and the white countertop because we don't really have anything else like that like the parenthood ones have a cream countertop these ones are i don't know blue almost like the shade of white is different but there isn't matching upper cabinets with island living island living came with instead like upper shelving and i don't think that's what shanna wants does it also not come in white oh this is horrible what do i do which do i pick i want them to match i guess well no the backsplash has cream in it i'm gonna use the parenthood once i'm sorry shanna i might use the parenthood fridge and stove too that matches with the backsplash okay please ignore the fact that i've got floating things in this room i'm gonna fix it i promise keep the fruit bowl maybe put this fruit bowl in this corner maybe this one in this corner i'm keeping both fruit bowls i'm into it okay i think that's a nice kitchen i'm a little bit biased but i think it's pretty now i think something that i'm struggling with is trying to figure out how to fit the fireplace and the tv in this room like maybe if the fireplace were here hang on i don't know i don't know what i'm doing if the fireplace were here we're gonna have to figure out a color scheme please disregard how this looks at the moment because i will fix it i'm just thinking if we like expand it a tiny bit and then i don't know stick the tv like here that kind of um is kind of a little bit in the way of the front door this is cursed i don't know what to do lesson learned floor plans are very difficult if you struggle with them too don't worry i think it's especially hard when you're trying to like not change someone else's house too much like i want to keep the layout that shanna had the couch is really bothering me the couch not being lined up like with the window is really bothering me i don't know how to fix it though i don't know what to do about this oh my god someone please help oh maybe i'll pick a different rug i guess we could use the rug that shanna used underneath the dining table as the living room rug and then we could use this rug as the dining room rug still works just as well although i might like scoot it yeah that's probably better i guess the bigger table kind of helps fill up the space i don't know i don't know we'll get a coffee table too i think that's nice i'm probably taking this too seriously i just i simply don't want to disappoint my sister i'm trying to build her a nice house it's definitely um a little closer to the door than i would like like i kind of wish the door wasn't so i don't know it's kind of like the couch is kind of blocking the pathway but it's fine i am gonna get a coat rack and also probably an umbrella stand shanna if you're watching this i don't know if you knew but you can actually use this umbrella stand like you can pick what umbrella your sim will use in the rain it's kind of fun i recommend it i'm gonna get like two of this painting but i'll use the green swatch scoot it over okay that's centered with the column right see i think that's pretty it's a nice touch i don't know if i can use this bar thing i don't know how to make it fit i feel like it doesn't match the color scheme although i don't know what the color scheme is so slightly more gray chairs we can keep the light she picked how about the orchids i think these orchids are so pretty should i replace the bar with a bookcase i'm sorry shanna um i'm changing it out painting on the wall there's not a ton of wall space in this house maybe we can have a bar in the patio though like an actual one would it be too big if i raised this thing up maybe i'll size it down one oh i think that looks nice maybe i'll put it on the corner that's kind of pretty yeah let's keep it i think this is the style shannon was going for right did i do it should i do it justice all right small bathroom perfectly functional though we need to make sure we have a tub in the upstairs bathroom because they have a toddler so it's necessary i'm trying to i want to use like the fancy standalone shower do you think that we could fit one of these fancy tubs i think shanna would like this but i'm not sure if it's like too big do you know what i mean like i'm not i'm not sure if it's like too much i might stick a half wall even a small one i feel like that's kind of realistic fancy bathroom fancy cabinets i'm not sure if this tub's gonna work i don't know i don't know about this i think if we picked a smaller tub it would still function and it wouldn't be like so dramatic i mean you could do like this one and have it centered underneath the window and it doesn't look bad there we go nice bathroom very cozy a lot of you have probably noticed this but a lot of times i put desks in the hallways and i do this because a lot of times the hallway is like wasted space in the sims so i take it and i try and make it useful and now it's like a kind of small little office space i don't know it's nice it's simple it's functional maybe another bookshelf i don't know i feel like the little bookshelves they're so annoying in the sims because your sims just grab books to read all the time but they look nice all right let's keep the same color scheme that shanna picked honestly i never use this thing that looks kind of cool in there i'll keep it this toddler can have a really fancy room i don't mind oh i want to use this but shannon doesn't have university so we can't i should buy her university kid drew these this is a very talented toddler actually now that i think about it look if we're claiming the kid drew those pictures very advanced for their age i got a nightlight well worth it i'm trying to think should we get like one of the massive doll houses maybe i'll give the toddler an ipad i feel like the dollhouse is worth it why do i stick the toddler potty should i just put it in the corner that sounds awful just just go pee in the corner you know what i think this room is nice actually i might use one of the cats and dogs blurfies or the unicorn one oh no let's use the unicorn one i always use blurfy instead because it's so much cheaper like blarfy is 75 it's easy any kid can have it you can afford it it's a cheap toy but like the unicorn ones 400 simoleons but if shannon's willing to have a 13 000 million stove i'm not too concerned about the price of this house okay i kind of want to keep this room with the same color scheme but i think we need to i don't know move things around a tiny bit in here like a bluish gray instead oh that light fixture hangs really low i might size it down so you don't like hit your head on it that would not be ideal i wonder what cc shanna had at the game deleted okay i think that's a nice room now to the backyard this is where it's fun because we get to add like a pool and stuff for my sister and i think she'll like that i want a big backyard i think it's fun to have a ton of space and the lot has a ton of space for it so we might as well i'm sorry i'm doing it i'm i'm doing the landscaping that i can't stop doing the same thing that i do in every single build it's happening i like that i think she's gonna like it too at least i hope so i'll just like put a couple of the trees that are in the area like this same tree is right here i know the kid's a toddler but eventually it'll be able to use monkey bars so i'll have them ready for when it can oh and what if we got you know how seasons has so many cool things like a toddler pool maybe that will be my final edition a little toddler pool you know what i think that's pretty fun hopefully shannon will like the house because i think it turned out kind of cute we got an extra bathroom in it i did the roof i mean her house was good before she even said that she she tried to build it and then kind of gave up but was like oh i'll furnish it so that you can make a video so she didn't even really furnish it she kind of like half furnished it it was all for the content but shannon you did a good job boom it's on the gallery for you it's not a ton of packs please be nice to my little sister and on that note i will see you all tomorrow bye everybody i like renovating houses i know you know this about me because i do it like five times a week i just it's one of my favorite things to do in the sims it's so much fun you
