Recreating a Real Life Floor Plan in Sims 4

I've talked about this in the past in some of my previous speed builds that I've done my more recent ones where I mentioned that the idea came from a floor plan or picture that I saw or that I'm actually trying to recreate a floor plan or something so today I did a little bit of searching because I'm in a building mood and I thought I would show you a floor plan and then show you me recreating it I thought that would be more fun so you guys could actually see what I was trying to recreate and how close I can actually get to recreating it like it is in real life I can't always do that there are some things I cannot do in The Sims 4 that I see on some of the floor plans that I look at but I thought I would just give it my best try so the floor plan that I'm going to be attempting to recreate is this one I'm not going to ambitious which dare I say I'm learning from my mistakes that doesn't sound like me but it is a two-story but it's a small two story and I actually think the floor plan is kind of cute but most real houses have things like garages closets things that the Sims don't have in the sims for or don't really need but the challenge is that I'm gonna recreate this as close as I can to what it looks like on this picture so without further ado doodlee doodlee do oh my god it's been a long week enjoy the speed build of me trying to recreate this house rotate alright so I don't know why I always think these things are gonna be really really easy and they're just not at all I feel like that's the only problem with doing this is that a floor plan may look so simple and then you start trying to do it and you're like oh my god I can't do half the stuff I need to do on this house because the sims 4 just doesn't allow it so this was definitely a challenge video now if I was doing this normally I would have changed some things up obviously to match the standards of the sims 4 and what it could handle and what it could do because there was a lot of glitchyness happening especially with the roof you'll see it later on when I like go to the second floor the roof is glitching through the walls it actually like there is one glitch I couldn't get rid of I didn't know how to it was like in the bedroom on the second floor like in the the paint from the roof was like coming through to the inside wall but it was like only on one wall on like each side it was the weirdest it was like the weirdest thing and it seemed like an easy fix but it it just didn't go away I don't know why and if I try to change it to the color on the inside it would change the whole roof on the outside like on the wall part and I was just like forget it this will this room is just gonna have some accent walls that don't make any sense and that's it but I would say about like 20% of this video it's just me trying to figure out how to do the roof and I really was just trying to do it like the photo showed there was like one photo of the back of the house on the website I was using so I was trying to do like a little covered patio here but it just proved to be much more difficult than I could ever imagine however in the end I kind of figured it out I it took a long time you probably won't even see it come together and so much much later but this is like this is the whole challenge as I was trying to recreate it as close as I possibly could it had a garage there are no garages in the sims there's like this weird one which is like four murals and stuff and I was like well guys we're just gonna use that because that's technically a garage although it doesn't look the same it doesn't have windows on it and I try to put some in there but I just thought it looked a little bit funky so I didn't I didn't end up going with it but that's as close as I could get and I mean that's the other that's the other problem is when you're trying to recreate something like this you're not gonna have everything in the game that you have in the photo like it's just unless you get so beyond lucky it's just not gonna happen I don't have the same door I don't have the same fencing I don't have the same windows you know I just gotta make it work but um that's why usually usually when I do this it's very wise to change things up and adapt to the fact that this is a game that does not have everything the real life has or the real life the real world has but I tried and there were a few things I actually had to tweak because it wouldn't have worked otherwise they're just like some tiny rooms in doors I think I didn't put in any like coat closets or anything like that I didn't put any of those in it just wouldn't have work they're just actually wasn't enough space which sounds weird because what I thought I when I first thought when I when I put the walls down was I made this too big but then it ended up not being big enough and I was like okay well I'm out of space so I guess this is what I'm working with so I kinda had to tweak it a little bit there isn't a pantry I think there was but there obviously was one in the floor plan it didn't it didn't make it it wasn't important enough so it didn't make the cut I think I put in one closet and that's in the bedroom downstairs which I assume is like the master bedroom I did put in a little closet and I actually think it came out pretty cute it's a hundred percent useless a thousand percent useless it is just for show but it did actually come out looking like a closet I mean not that it's hard to do that but you know I don't do it very often so when I did it I was kind of impressed it took three clicks and that's that's it that's all it took so it's not that impressive by any means but I did I did actually like the way that it came out I was like okay wait a minute just snap why don't you I guess but anyways the the living space I tried to like over some different colors and furniture I don't normally use I actually think this is how it would be laid out if you lived here at least I did my best I was really trying to think like how would this work if you actually lived here would it look like this would you arrange your furniture like this I asked the utility room this right here the laundry room I have to say it's my favorite room in the whole freaking house I know that sounds silly but it's just so cute here's the closet whoo done it's literally all it was I just enlarged the like clothing what are they called I don't know the hanging clothing the clothes that hang I'm so about explaining things was the wrong thing I just enlarged them and put them up there and voila a lot of being badda-boom you have a closet now here's me trying to maneuver the so that it doesn't clip through the through the house so annoying that it when it does that you just kind of have to make like a million roof pieces that just happened to end right where the wall is so that it doesn't clip through it's really annoying I mean it does work but it's just it's a little more inconvenient also I didn't use like proper wallpaper for the outside of a house I ended up using like paint because I was trying to match the color of the house that was in the photo and this was as close as I could get and then you'll see like the little glitchy walls here I don't know I don't know what to do about it okay I just leaned it up I ain't believing it there and I was like okay maybe it's just an artistic touch they felt was right in their bedroom I don't know you don't know them you don't have a story overall I think this house is a little bit strange but not that weird it's just a little bit weird like I get how I get how it would look in real life like I can picture it in real life better than I can in the sims because it just it's a real life house if you like Sims houses are just a little bit different than real life ones would because I mean it's it's a game and it's a suno you get it but like there's just so many things you can't do and I don't realize it until I start trying to build a real life house and I'm like oh yeah I can't do have this stuff but with that being said you can still do so much in Sims 4 build mode I actually really I really enjoyed I said this in my video the other day when I was looking at the the very first Sims 4 trailers that came out they were very weird to look back on but I was like yeah I think the nails build mode I really do I think okay I've never ever been able to build before in like Sims 1 2 & 3 scrap it not happening I could not build no way no how but in The Sims 4 I feel like I'm decent which is saying a lot because I was crap in the previous game so I feel like they've made it so easy to build that it is it is possible if you just like take some time in practice which is what I did I just just sat down one day and I was like alright I'm gonna watch some speed builds try to replicate some things that they do you know you learn but that that's pretty much all I did and I feel like I've got it down to like I pretty good no I mean you're not the best but like I can actually make a decent house and not feel bad about what I look at it but that doesn't mean that I still build things and don't think oh that looks like crap because I did that yesterday also I know I've mentioned this before but I'm gonna mention it again since we're just chilling and having a good time watching a speed field here are you can streaming Animal Crossing on Twitch so if Animal Crossing is your jam because we all know it's mine go follow me on Twitch we've been streaming it over there we have like a stream town it's so much fun that we have a lot of stupid memes over there if you're from the twitch channel and you watch some of the streams hit him in the peak apps you know what that means I also have a vodka watch any of those previous streams I upload them on my second channel squash of streams so if you miss any or if you just want to rewatch them I upload them there so you know that my little self promo time is over we'll go back to the house so anyways I think the bedrooms were like a little bit weird I can't like again I can tell how this would look in real life with a little hallway coming in I've had a bedroom like that before so I get it but in the Sims it's just so not necessary but you also have to take into consideration like can my Sims get through this hallway can they walk around the bed can they get in the bed is the dresser in the way oh no you got to take these things into consideration and that's not something you have to do in real life I mean except for like maybe can I fit down my hallway sorry I don't think I've ever said those words I love you that was weird but you have to think of the functionality of the house I'm not just sometimes doesn't work when you're trying to copy a floor plan this was like painful for me because normally I do look up floor plans because it gives me inspiration and sometimes I just copy them a hundred percent because I'm like man I know what to do and they look nice but I almost always changed them up because they're not gonna work usually in the sims and so it was painful for me to have to just follow it they were ok like I said there were a few things I couldn't I just could not do was like closets I was like there's just no room for those things it just isn't gonna work with the grid system and everything I was like it's just not gonna work so I didn't end up putting a lot of those and I did squeeze in the one closet in the master bedroom but that's all I could really do yeah I originally did put the pantry in when I built this in the beginning like if you go back for a split second it's in there but then I ended up deleting it cuz I was like no there's just no room for anything else if I do that and then it's this like teeny tiny hallway and your Sims have to squeeze through it and it's just like I know that's gonna cause traffic issues you know it's not gonna be good also I've been putting fish tanks in my houses nowadays and I am so happy about that because I used to have this saltwater fish tank when I was a kid it was my life it was my whole freakin life I had so many fish in there I would take care of them one of them got pregnant and then it was this whole ordeal of trying not to get the fish to eat their own babies how did I even get on this how did I get here it was a disaster but I loved it and I would do it again it was so much fun I loved having all these fishies so fun sorry I literally don't know where I went just now you're my brain it's fried it's just completely fried this whole week has been a huge disaster my internet has just gone to crap which it's been pretty bad for a couple months now but of course now that everybody's home and using it it's like even worse so um oh it's this whole ordeal if you follow me on Twitter you heard me and Zeus complain about it because he's been here too and it's just a lot and it's exhausting it's like mentally exhausting dealing with these people for weeks and weeks and weeks cuz they're just not doing what I need them to do which is fix the problem I could go on and on I really could but I won't i won't i won't it's like there are bigger problems in the world you know but it sucks when you're quarantined at home and then your internet doesn't work it's like my whole house runs on internet so if i don't have it i am just sitting there staring at the wall it's really bad how much we rely on it it really is what are you gonna do that's just how the world works now everything uses internet everything i if i want to watch TV i need internet if i want to get on my computer i need internet how to play Animal Crossing on my personal switch I need internet to load that up cuz I have to switches and it like makes you choose a primary switch and like a secondary switch then it has to validate if you've actually purchased the game and it's just like this whole ordeal and if I don't have internet I can't load it up and then my life is truly over if I can't play Animal Crossing I just don't even know what I'm gonna do it myself well the build is pretty much done you were gonna see some screenshots I took screenshots of all the rooms the outside everything's you can check it out this took me way longer than I ever expected it would take me as per usual so I hope you guys enjoyed it and my ranting as always here are the screenshots I hope you guys enjoy I hope you guys are having a wonderful day and I'll speak to you all very very soon bye bye [Music] [Applause] [Music]
