Hello! On stream we built my real (pretty tiny) bungalow in Sims 4 and renovated it as though money were no object! This reno is a real project we will be starting this year so it was super fun to play around with our options. This video is part 1 of 2 and I had so much fun making it. What other sandbox building games could we try to make real houses in?

Check out my Twitch to keep up with our home reno design series and if you have any design media or home tours you would like me to react to on stream, please send them my way! 😊

I love that you built with only base game! When I had only base game I downloaded so much cc content to replicate houses that I liked on Pinterest

this was recommend to me and i am so excited to watch the second part! the walk thru of your house reminds me a lot of mine in structure and style. i currently live in a late 50s/early 60s home that i dream of renovating, as it is fully original except for the appliances. i rent, not own, so i have to do all my renos in the sims. i've played for many years but enjoy watching smaller youtubers or non-simmers use build mode for realistic builds, as that is primarily how i play the game. please consider doing more videos like these, where you recreate older homes then reno them!

yes sadly sims4 uses about 3 ft or a meter to a square and not being able to put walls on the off squares can really hamper a layout! so a 10 ft roomis either 9 or 12 ft!

Also my husband is an interior designer and he always helps me with my roofing, although he doesn't play the sims he has a better vision on how to build realistic roofs. Btw his work is done on sketch up
