How To Build A Base Game House In The Sims 4 (With Timestamps)

Gotta love it he insults our skills then helps us what a wonderful person 🤣🥰

Omg that's like a huge flex my backyard is bigger then yours hahahaha

Will the money I get, when I start be enough for this build?

Thank you for making a tutorial on building from shell to furnished! I built my own (added a balcony too) step-by-step without feeling overwhelmed! That’s also thanks to your tips and tricks and natural humour 😂

PS: I saved it to my gallery and I was surprised to see a lot of ppl have download it 🥹

Just started playing Sims for the building aspect, I'm still figuring it out but i love how versatile it is. Thanks for the cool tutorial!

This is so incredibly helpful, thank you! Simple and easy to understand even for a newbie!

I know he said that it's not a good idea to overthink things, but I find that it works sometimes. lol
Rather than sizing down Subtle Saucer lights, I will find logical places to put them, like near doors or in a nice, symmetrically spaced line or square shape. Yes, I will sometimes sit and try to make things look perfect with alt-placing, but it is often worth it to me. lol .nwn.

I have been playing the sims since it began, and I'm hopeless at building houses, this was so helpful, I'm going to try build this, thank you for a easy to follow tutorial

Thank you for this great Tutorial. Really helped me

I'm actually a decent builder and don't really need this video but I think that it was done really well to help people who struggle with making builds. It reminds me of Bob Ross, in a sense. He teaches you how to make a specific formulaic painting and once you get the basics down, it becomes easier to visualize changing things from there to make it your own. This tutorial not only teaches hacks with roofs and such but also explains why each step is important, like the rule of 3's. Teaching the "why" makes it easier for a learner to eventually make their own intentionally made decisions. Building can be really overwhelming when you don't know what you're doing and I think this video is good for desensitizing the task. Well done!

Thank you so much for this video. As a new player all of your tips are going to help me alot!

i love that this video means all the times you gave your builds a clown prison-looking interior for your non-build-focused videos, it was just for laughs. this is quality and i'm stealing the floorplan and layout for my starters.

Great video and helpful

thank you! yes, please do a modern home

I use the f5 key on my keyboard and that uses quarter tile placement, rather than half tile placement.

For those like me who are dead set on using flooring for a nice clean walkway and patio: Line it with a short fence, Sims can walk right over it.
Base game has a couple of these. The Smooth Keeper which is one of the cheapest and simplest and does the job well. The Wrought Iron Fence is a typical spoked garden fence and looks good around walkways.

You can also put terrain paint just along the edge of the flooring tiles to smooth the transition and create informal footpaths between the tiled ones. And of course you can use painted paths and tiled ones in combination.

Thank you SO much for this video. It was the BEST tutorial on building that I have seen so far. The modules and roofing are things I needed very much. All was very well done.

This is hands down the best build tutorial I've seen...Thank you!

Tutorial for basic modern home when 😍😍😍

This was a super helpful tutorial. I’m horrible at building and landscaping in the games.

you really breaking down step by step exterior and floor plan was super helpful. i can decorate, but i am so bad at building.

Millenial fever dream coming true. I can own a house

I'm so used to your wacky content that this was quite a change BUT a welcome one. Really helpful tutorial even though I've been playing the game for years. I would love to see a modern building tutorial! 😊

Thx u so much

POV: The Wattersons house

kidding aside the house looks so amazing outside and inside. Thank you for giving tips and ideas now I'm much more motivated to build houses and also maybe bigger lots!!

And you say you’re not much of a builder, this is awesome 👏🏻

Satch giving us some valuable fatherly life lessons " Not every hole is a goal" 🤣

I really needed this because I only play in CAS mode 🤣 Thank you so much, Satch!

This video is literally building in Sims 4 for dummies! I love this tutorial so thank you for this video!

Thanks so much, Satch, this was very informative and helpful! I'm hoping for more building tutorials in the future!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

The dirty jokes! 🤣

Wow you build basically how I build… I never realized. One thing I like to do is put a bunch of those saucer lights in at the beginning so it’s easier to see and replace them later when I’m decorating. And I feel like it’s easier to do landscaping last, but otherwise, yeah, same process. I’m a bit in shock tbh 😂

Lol at “Porsche”, casual dig at Americans 😂

Very helpful video. However you can place columns on half tile locations. Just press F5 once to activate half tile placement, place the column. Then Press F5 again to return to full tile placement.

Honestly even I could use this and I've been playing for a year plus 😂

999th viewer. Literally traumatising.

I'm good at building, but it's still fun to watch.

Y’all.. the porsche

Now build your dream gay house .. please .. We've seen your virtual dream boyfriend, and he's hot .. now time for you to build a happy gayland house to wicked whim him in 😀😁😂😋🥰 .. just an idea, of course ;)

This is so coool

Use “The Woody” on the backdoor. Got it.

What's you gallery ID? Would love to download this, looks amazing!

Is there a way to use platforms so that the game doesn't recognize each platform part as its own room? I made a bedroom with platforms, and couldn't put it on the gallery as a room because it would only select parts of the room. When I build a wall around the entire thing to put that on the gallery as a room, the bedroom walls could no longer be seen. It was so frustrating I finally added it as a lot, which of course shows the room from the top down, so you STILL can't actually see the room.

thank youuuu you are actually helpful <3

I’ve just recently started building my own houses in the game. This was the most helpful video I’ve seen from anyone. I’m 58 and love this game again because of people like you!Thank you and yes please build a more modern home.

I kno it sounds dumb but I had no idea how to make porches so this helped me so much! I always just steal something from the Gallery but I'm excited to make my own now 😌 Thank you Satch 🥰🥰

Thank you Satch!! Extremely useful tutorial, I will use this for my builds from now on. Keep doing what you're doing. x 💕

"Not every hole needs to be filled" killed me lmao 🤣
