Before anyone starts yelling at me, I know many builds are made by simfluencers and not EA. Most criticisms are down to the EA build restrictions and lot requirements rather than their skill x
Fun fact, the very brown build from snowy escape was made by James Turner when the lot was made out of grass. When he was done, EA changed the underground last minute to sand without giving him the opportunity to change anything. As a result, the build looks very bland.
The platform at the front door of Snowy Escape residential lots, are absolutely necessary. It's called a Genkan, where you remove your shoes and change into slippers for indoor wear
This was a super interesting video for me seeing as how personally I have not even been in a majority of the pre-built lots. Seeing a tour of them all chronologically like this really showcases how tragic most of them are, especially in the early days. And I'm sorry, but the toilet paper rolls being that high on the wall absolutely sent me. Also, it's kind of funny, but to be so careless that you forget toilets all together?!? C'mon EA.....
As someone who plays in Windenburg a lot (and most of my sims end up dating their way into Waterlock Redoubt), regarding THAT wall dresser, I will say that removing the dresser and putting in the walk-in closet from Get Together works just fine. ALMOST AS IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE THAT WAY
Yes! It’s normal in the US to have 2 bedrooms connected to a bathroom! It’s called a Jack and Jill bathroom! And there’s usually a lock to prevent someone else from coming in.
You know what’s upsetting that I didn’t realize until this video? The vampire pack got a counter set for the kitchen AND THEY DONT EVEN EAT. But the Lovestruck pack with new food based deaths didn’t a single counter, stove, or fridge. 🙃 love that for us.
The bathroom is called a jack and jill. Jack and Jill bathroom is a full-sized bathroom that's shared by two connecting bedrooms. It's a space-saving solution that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and is named after the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill"
@@maimaisimsYou just lock the door 🤷🏼♀️ Do y’all not have locks inside your bathrooms? Genuine question, because most Brit’s main question when it comes to a shared bath is about another family member walking in on you.
You should make a video with all the lots bulldozed and then do a review on what are the best lots to build on... I would love to see you rate the lots based on the lighting and surrounding environment ( not judging based on the existing buildings).
I think the weird path for vista quarry was meant to have a pool and then the builder was told pools weren’t part of base game and then they just left it
EA is too greedy to even pay a Simmer from the EA Creator Network to renovate the lot. New players will think that pools were just there and that they didn't arrived until a few months after the base game was first released.
The saddest part is that a lot of those lots would have a much better rating by just bulldozing whatever EA built and just leaving it empty for the players to fill which really sucks when you're a new player or you're just trying to get into "gameplay" without spending a full week in build buy mode.
I remember the sahara dessert lot. It was made by James Turner and he made a video on the process. He was very disappointed with how it turned out because the game developers changed the terrain from grass to sand after his final edit, making the sandy exterior blend in with the sand below, and creating a home camouflaged in the Japanese desert. He also did most of the moonwood mill builds I believe. I love those, they are super creative
i think britechester was also still ea builts but after glimmerbrook was so tragic and britechester wasn‘t much better, they got actual creators on board with building lots, starting with snowy escape
You should make a video where you roast/praise your subs builds from the gallery lol. Of course of those who would want to take part and make a build under specific tag or something
56:55 it's James Turners house, he said when he build it he has grass lot so they changed it to sand after his last submitt so he can't changed it to actually look better 😕
Henford on Bagley: The area in front of the pub is empty because it’s used for competitions on Saturdays. People, animals and other things will fill that lot then.
I ALWAYS modify all of the gyms. One thing I do is add some of the equipment from the FlowFit mod, add the Energized breeze lot trait and some energizing decoration, like crystals. Municipal Muse is often the first place my scientist Sim go to use and abuse his Simray and transform pretty much everything... NookStone... That thing is a dark, airless, bunker inspired, attempt at a house. Dock Den : Everyone need to put some useless and cheap stuff in that chimney to prevent Sims from spawning in it. Waterside Warble. With the missing walls, you get outside lighting. WHY are those wall missing ? Sapphire Shores... Or where I had a vampire die because she insisted to Sun bath on a float... Starting mid morning...
Hold on, are you rating lots or houses? No “good/bad lighting”, “great fishing areas/close to a community garden”? Am I the only one who appreciates a lot for how many things there are for your sims to do without having to go through a loading screen? For anyone wondering, Arid Ridge in Oasis Springs is THE lot with best lighting in base game. If you’re tired of building in bad lighting, build your house there and just move it later to where you want it.
I imagine this took sooo long to record and edit. So Thankyou for doing all of that. I’ve had the game for years and haven’t seen all the lots yet! But yea, Thankyou Satch! We appreciate you 💚
Besides the horrendous builds in the Get Famous, my pet peeve was the bathroom layouts and lacking proper tatami rooms in traditional builds. I get in a modern house like the one lilsimsie made, but as Satch said, Japanese bathrooms has shower/tub in one room, toilet in another and sink with laundry in the middle. Furthermore, kitchen and bathrooms are usually at the back of the house except for apartments if I'm not mistaken.
Island of Salami & Wakamaboring got me 😂 and the fact it took a second day to realise some of these builds weren’t built by EA… please never change Satch! ❤ lol
Sometimes I wonder if EA purposely made bad builds so we could get a chance to renovate and made a scavenger hunt out of finding things that don’t make any sense
9:51 this is a thing in some American homes. It’s called a jack and Jill bathroom! My boyfriends family home has one. Him and his brother share a bathroom in between their rooms and there is a separate half bath (only toilet and sink) for guests off their kitchen. Their jack and Jill restroom is a little unique tho, as they have their own sink/vanity/mirror in their rooms next to the bathroom door in their rooms. It is a pretty nice layout that saves space and is cool in general I think!
I love building Jack and Jill baths in the Sims 4, as it's the most efficient bathroom layout - you can cover the needs of two bedrooms with just six tiles, and include a fully functional shower/tub combo.
56:00 I believe the Greenburg house is the first house not designed by EA employees. It was designed by the winning team of that weird reality TV show they did. The next few packs are completely designed by more or less well known players. Like the buildings in the werewolf world were entirely built by James Turner. I don't know if they stopped this, but I haven't heard that anyone built anything in the last world.
a hobby/skill based pack with new skills would be so cool, and they could expand museums and maybe give us more public lot types, like a dance studio or sports center
@@svelli7473True, but they could add like museum jobs or tasks like restoring paintings or repairing sculptures and things just to make it... anything but awful haha
@@spacegirlsgf That could be a whole expansion pack! Instead of parks you get dig sites and community plots are museums you can work at and bring your finds too and work at and like tourist attractions like a dinosaur theme park
Satch, the things you call pavlovas are called gazebos, and I think you're getting it mixed up with pergola which is a type of roof that you put on decks 😭 pavlova is a type of dessert 😭😭😭
I actually want to put a museum in game where I'd put all the collections my sims have completed. Have a natural museum section full of frogs and axolotls and beetles, space section for aliens and rocks and prints, etc.
Jack and Jill bathrooms, aka the ones that can be accessed by two different bedrooms, were common in the 1960s - 1980s but fell out of favor for modern builds. It was a way to give two different rooms an en-suite bathroom.
Video Idea: Viewers submit their own builds with a special hashtag or something, and you rate those. I'd love to see some actually good builds for once..
It would be great to do this but just based on the lots being empty, so not based on any builds, just the potential of the lots. You could grade them on stuff like lighting, connection to the world, views, background ect.
it's not just an American thing 2 bedrooms connected with a bathroom, Idk about every European country but you can see that in France and don't worry there is a lock on each side. 😂
I've only ever lived in North America and the only place I've seen the shared bathroom thing for 2 bedrooms has been in old bed & breakfasts (they are midcentury built homes that were repurposed for renting usually) and in hospitals that have semi-private rooms, which means your hospital bed is alone in one room, and the bathroom is shared with the next semi-private room next door. Its not common to do the 'jack & jill' style bathrooms over here now though. Was more popular during the 50s.
@@breezynI lived in a super nice house built in the early 00’s that had two Jack-and-Jill’s for the four bedrooms on the second floor. Each half had their own sink though.
Sims in Oasis Springs are undergoing evolutionary change. With each generation, the offspring are adapting longer and longer arms in order to reach the toilet paper.
13:25 LOOK AT IT 😂😂 Edit: that last starter lot in strangerville- you said it was giving Willow Creek. I think it's actually the same layout as streamlet single -__-
I grew up in a house with two doors in the bathroom. One door led to the laundry room/linen closet. You mostly only used the laundry door when taking a shower or grabbing any dirty clothes from the bathroom before doing laundry. The second door was very convenient, but there were unspoken rules in place on when to use the second door
The bathroom with to connecting bedrooms is called "Jack and Jill" bathroom. I have really only seen this style in middle to upper class homes. They usually design this to connect kids rooms.
The snowy escape lots were built by actual Sims players, that’s back when they had their first collaboration with lil simsie and James Turner, and whoever else so that’s why they are better than the average 😂
Bargain bend is not too big it's only 20x30 (as opposed to 30x20 which is a super common lot size), but the way the images upload to the gallery is a crime. it's tough to make it look great in game and in the gallery. I addressed this by making the house small on the far end of the lot so that people would spawn at the walk way but also the whole house could be seen in the gallery. I also made the porch diagonal, which almost works perfectly, but Now I think I should have added some trees to cover the transitioning spots. The rest of the lot I made garden/nature focused. Just saying for other people who want this to work out. Also, if you put the hashtag cornerlot and bargainbend it might help people find the right build for this difficult lot.
We call it a jack and jill bathroom and it really is a thing. Usually you have to shut and lock both doors before you do anything. It isn't what I'd prefer because of that, but it is a common thing in American houses.
Dresden House really annoys me because there's at least 1 wall with missing wallpaper, it's in the red bathroom upstairs and you can even see it at around 21:22 it's the white wall behind the toilet. Coorinberg cottage is very cozy if you gut the entire inside and renovate it because what even is that layout I hate it. I like where the outer walls are though, from just the outside it's nice. Bathe de rill is a lot I've only been on twice, it looks nice but every time I play on it my sims become miserable because there's no decorations. I've resorted to just slapping a bunch of leaves/vines on the walls to make it count as decorated. Harbour quarter gym is good if you add a door up top so your sim doesn't take hours walking underground to enter the gym. If I remember right it has a similar issue as Bathe de rill in the downstairs corridor/bathroom area where it just counts as poorly decorated and my sims get upset. I always add a door upstairs now though so I very rarely have to actually go downstairs.
omg thank u satch for this long video today. Im home sick with some weird jaw-ear maybe wisdom tooth bullshit and ive run out of youtube to watch. This times absolutely perfect with my dinner thank u very much love
Those two Brindleton Bay lots are horrid to me because they’re literally just in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees… like zero connection to the street. It just makes the lot look cut off
I would love to see Satch renovate the Cypress Terrace lot - I have played the sims 4 since it came out and never visited this lot but it’s sooo badly decorated😭
Absolutely LOVING ❤️ this! Perfect thing to watch whilst falling asleep after a long day of crushing snails 🐌...i have fish - i dont eat the snails myself! 😂
Please, make a video where you restore The Bluffs with the Cattle Estate kit. 😃 I think the pool should obviously stay downstairs without that vegetation (not outside, apart from possible arches), but I would move it and size it down a bit.
I like big lots, because I always go for building up a multi-skilled sim and I want to use every inch of the large property as possible to give him/her access to any skill and/or hobby item. What I do not understand is why most simmers most often not think about using bill discount build menu items for most lots; because I hear that they complain that their sim is running out of more Simoleans than their sim could make and they don't seem to realize that there are budget friendly wall, floor, and roof designs among a sea of pricy items? I also don't understand why there is not much lot creations that have environmentally healthy builds for sims either in the gallery?
Not an American just used to be a huge Interior Design fan but the two door bathrooms are called Jack and Jill bathrooms. They're not uncommon from what I've seen. Definitely rarely ever see them in England, if ever tho
Oh yes, the Jack and Jill bathroom. Plenty of people have already mentioned it. I'll just add it's in the Brady bunch where they show you the Jack and Jill bathroom. I'm not a fan of those myself. It is quite awkward. Like it wouldn't be too bad if it was like separate rooms like you share the vanity space. But you have a separate toilet room and a separate shower/bathroom. * I also think it would be nice for like a master suite. Like if you had a split bedrooms 'master' and 'misteress' rooms. * I'm using it antiquated terms but I think it suits it for what I'm describing. It would be two bedrooms but it would be a master suite. Talking about bougie. The one bedroom could either be a bedroom and the other one could be like an office space, or if you don't like sleeping with your partner because they snore they could have their own separate bedroom.
Thank you for educating me on Rose, very interesting thread indeed! 😂 Btw are you planning to react to a new trailer to Expanded Plant Sims? Looks phenomenal and I think you'd enjoy it x
The 2 bedrooms attached to one bathroom thing is something that I feel like comes from the hotel industry. In my experience if parents ask for an attached room for kids, the extra room will be attached through the bathroom.
Yes, it is normal to have two doors connected to the entrance to the bathroom different sides. Usually when you have to use the bathroom you’re going and you will lock the other door while you’re inside to make sure nobody actually enters so you would have to lock both sides of the door
This video really brought home the fact that I have not been in 95% of the lots despite how many packs I own. Literally, I have bought packs and not even played in them at all. LOL The problem is that the Sims 4 is so boring that I spend more time building in Newcrest than playing. I played the Sims 2 and Sims 3 way more. I even started creating my own Sim challenge years ago, but I got so bored and keeping up with buying broken packs made me want to scream, so that kinda went by the wayside. That said, I am inspired to maybe go in an update each and every lot; you know, just freshen them up a bit. I've done that with several homes as I have played and fixed a few lackluster community lots and put them on the gallery, but that was just out of pure frustration. The situation being basically that I arrived at some lots and found them so horrendous that I had to fix them before I even let my Sim hang out there! Hours later, I would load them on the gallery and then shut down the game from exhaustion. Can anyone else relate? 😄
58:17 probably everyone has already pointed this out, but yes, in Japan, the toilet is always separate from the bath area! I'm not sure if sinks in the middle are that common, in the places I've been, there's usually a small sink above the toilet, a larger sink at the entrance to the bathroom area, and the bathroom and toilet are typically connected by a small corridor and not at the "sink area" (I don't know how to call it haha) 1:02:34 it's kind of realistic, though, having that many platforms. I live in a small apartment in Tokyo, and here we have platforms by the entrance, by the bathroom and toilet entrances, and a small platform leading to the bedroom too. In traditional houses, there are usually even more platforms from what I've seen
The two doors going into a bathroom thing is called a "Jack and Jill" bathroom and is one of those weird things us Americans do. It's typically used between two kids rooms or in mid quality dorm rooms. And how you prevent people walking in on each other is just getting into the habit of locking both doors soon as you go in lol
a bathroom with two doors is like a jack and jill thing and just lock the door so no one can open it. It tends to be in between kids bedrooms for them to share.
The bathroom with two doors is called a jack and Jill to be shared between the bedrooms. The house I’m in right now actually has one and the toilet/bath/shower is behind another door so if someone was brushing their teeth for example, the other can use the restroom with privacy lol. It’s typically with the rooms that would most likely be used as kids bedrooms and only for those rooms to use. On the other hand the master bedroom in our home has no door going into the bathroom/closet area and I think that’s so weird. The toilet has its own door, shower is behind a wall so not in plain view when you’re in the room but the bathtub is in the back facing the bedroom with a clear view 😂
10:03 those are called Jack and Jill bathrooms, the one I had in my childhood home had a separate room with the toilet and tub. Typically there are locks on the doors to prevent embarrassing moments.
The concept of a bathroom with doors on both sides leading in from bedrooms is called a Jack and Jill bathroom. Neither room truly has an ensuite, but both bedrooms still have direct access to a bathroom. Obviously, when you go in there, you would have to lock the other doors so that the other person doesn't walk in on you. LOL
This was nice and surprising you made it into a long video and didn't break it into several videos. I could have seen this being maybe two neighborhoods per videos or something. Thanks for the content!!

Jack and Jill bathrooms, aka the ones that can be accessed by two different bedrooms, were common in the 1960s - 1980s but fell out of favor for modern builds. It was a way to give two different rooms an en-suite bathroom.
Video Idea:
Viewers submit their own builds with a special hashtag or something, and you rate those. I'd love to see some actually good builds for once..
It would be great to do this but just based on the lots being empty, so not based on any builds, just the potential of the lots. You could grade them on stuff like lighting, connection to the world, views, background ect.
it's not just an American thing 2 bedrooms connected with a bathroom, Idk about every European country but you can see that in France and don't worry there is a lock on each side. 😂
I saw it in Poland, in a dorm. It scared me AHAHHA
@@shuzennn 😂😆
I've only ever lived in North America and the only place I've seen the shared bathroom thing for 2 bedrooms has been in old bed & breakfasts (they are midcentury built homes that were repurposed for renting usually) and in hospitals that have semi-private rooms, which means your hospital bed is alone in one room, and the bathroom is shared with the next semi-private room next door. Its not common to do the 'jack & jill' style bathrooms over here now though. Was more popular during the 50s.
@@breezynI lived in a super nice house built in the early 00’s that had two Jack-and-Jill’s for the four bedrooms on the second floor. Each half had their own sink though.
Would love to see this from a builder perspective. Like which ones have the best lighting?
I've discovered some nice new lots to build on, thx for the reviews 👍
Sims in Oasis Springs are undergoing evolutionary change. With each generation, the offspring are adapting longer and longer arms in order to reach the toilet paper.
Two doors is a jack and Jill. You can lock the other door if you are in it. It’s usually for kids. Shared bathroom.
13:25 LOOK AT IT 😂😂
Edit: that last starter lot in strangerville- you said it was giving Willow Creek. I think it's actually the same layout as streamlet single -__-
i will never get tired of these ranking videos
I grew up in a house with two doors in the bathroom. One door led to the laundry room/linen closet. You mostly only used the laundry door when taking a shower or grabbing any dirty clothes from the bathroom before doing laundry. The second door was very convenient, but there were unspoken rules in place on when to use the second door
Really enjoyed that and that would have been time consuming. Thank you Satch …… the loo roll holder narration was hysterical 😅
My fave thing about the outdoor windenburg places is that if you have seasons, everything is destroyed and you can't replace them in game 😂😂😪😪
The bathroom with to connecting bedrooms is called "Jack and Jill" bathroom. I have really only seen this style in middle to upper class homes. They usually design this to connect kids rooms.
The snowy escape lots were built by actual Sims players, that’s back when they had their first collaboration with lil simsie and James Turner, and whoever else so that’s why they are better than the average 😂
Nah, EA should have collaborate with Japanese Simmers to build the Snowy Escape lots.
I think you graded the Akiyama house in Mt. Komorebi twice, one's rated excellent and one's rated good lol.
The plane bunker is excellent until you try to play it and realize that EA put the plant in the wrong place so sims can’t cook.
Bargain bend is not too big it's only 20x30 (as opposed to 30x20 which is a super common lot size), but the way the images upload to the gallery is a crime. it's tough to make it look great in game and in the gallery. I addressed this by making the house small on the far end of the lot so that people would spawn at the walk way but also the whole house could be seen in the gallery.
I also made the porch diagonal, which almost works perfectly, but Now I think I should have added some trees to cover the transitioning spots.
The rest of the lot I made garden/nature focused.
Just saying for other people who want this to work out. Also, if you put the hashtag cornerlot and bargainbend it might help people find the right build for this difficult lot.
Satch calling all the purgolas pavlovas is sending me 😂
Love you Satch❤
I survived SatchOnSims ranking every lot in the Sims 4!
We call it a jack and jill bathroom and it really is a thing. Usually you have to shut and lock both doors before you do anything. It isn't what I'd prefer because of that, but it is a common thing in American houses.
I was laughing so bad. See you dad town😂 imagine going inside of the motel there and meeting your dad
Dresden House really annoys me because there's at least 1 wall with missing wallpaper, it's in the red bathroom upstairs and you can even see it at around 21:22 it's the white wall behind the toilet.
Coorinberg cottage is very cozy if you gut the entire inside and renovate it because what even is that layout I hate it. I like where the outer walls are though, from just the outside it's nice.
Bathe de rill is a lot I've only been on twice, it looks nice but every time I play on it my sims become miserable because there's no decorations. I've resorted to just slapping a bunch of leaves/vines on the walls to make it count as decorated.
Harbour quarter gym is good if you add a door up top so your sim doesn't take hours walking underground to enter the gym. If I remember right it has a similar issue as Bathe de rill in the downstairs corridor/bathroom area where it just counts as poorly decorated and my sims get upset. I always add a door upstairs now though so I very rarely have to actually go downstairs.
omg thank u satch for this long video today. Im home sick with some weird jaw-ear maybe wisdom tooth bullshit and ive run out of youtube to watch. This times absolutely perfect with my dinner thank u very much love
I'm in the exact same situation, it's so painful!
@@katrinaninanina oh god bless, i hope it gets better soon! Mine did but i still have ear problems. All luck to you
Those two Brindleton Bay lots are horrid to me because they’re literally just in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees… like zero connection to the street. It just makes the lot look cut off
I would love to see Satch renovate the Cypress Terrace lot - I have played the sims 4 since it came out and never visited this lot but it’s sooo badly decorated😭
Absolutely LOVING ❤️ this! Perfect thing to watch whilst falling asleep after a long day of crushing snails 🐌...i have fish - i dont eat the snails myself! 😂
Please, make a video where you restore The Bluffs with the Cattle Estate kit. 😃 I think the pool should obviously stay downstairs without that vegetation (not outside, apart from possible arches), but I would move it and size it down a bit.
Excuse me I am so early but HOW DID YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR THIIIIS!?
Holy cow, Satch! This EPIC!!!! luv ya.
I like big lots, because I always go for building up a multi-skilled sim and I want to use every inch of the large property as possible to give him/her access to any skill and/or hobby item.
What I do not understand is why most simmers most often not think about using bill discount build menu items for most lots; because I hear that they complain that their sim is running out of more Simoleans than their sim could make and they don't seem to realize that there are budget friendly wall, floor, and roof designs among a sea of pricy items? I also don't understand why there is not much lot creations that have environmentally healthy builds for sims either in the gallery?
Not an American just used to be a huge Interior Design fan but the two door bathrooms are called Jack and Jill bathrooms. They're not uncommon from what I've seen. Definitely rarely ever see them in England, if ever tho
Oh yes, the Jack and Jill bathroom. Plenty of people have already mentioned it. I'll just add it's in the Brady bunch where they show you the Jack and Jill bathroom. I'm not a fan of those myself. It is quite awkward. Like it wouldn't be too bad if it was like separate rooms like you share the vanity space. But you have a separate toilet room and a separate shower/bathroom.
* I also think it would be nice for like a master suite. Like if you had a split bedrooms 'master' and 'misteress' rooms. * I'm using it antiquated terms but I think it suits it for what I'm describing.
It would be two bedrooms but it would be a master suite. Talking about bougie. The one bedroom could either be a bedroom and the other one could be like an office space, or if you don't like sleeping with your partner because they snore they could have their own separate bedroom.
21:52 "am See" means "at the lake", it's German. Don't ask me why they put denglish in there though since Cottage is most definitely not German.
Thank you for educating me on Rose, very interesting thread indeed! 😂
Btw are you planning to react to a new trailer to Expanded Plant Sims? Looks phenomenal and I think you'd enjoy it x
I love that in dorms with no kitchen food spawn in TOILETS😂
The 2 bedrooms attached to one bathroom thing is something that I feel like comes from the hotel industry. In my experience if parents ask for an attached room for kids, the extra room will be attached through the bathroom.
I don't have all the DLC in the game, but San Seqoia is boring AF.
Yes, it is normal to have two doors connected to the entrance to the bathroom different sides. Usually when you have to use the bathroom you’re going and you will lock the other door while you’re inside to make sure nobody actually enters so you would have to lock both sides of the door
This video really brought home the fact that I have not been in 95% of the lots despite how many packs I own. Literally, I have bought packs and not even played in them at all. LOL The problem is that the Sims 4 is so boring that I spend more time building in Newcrest than playing. I played the Sims 2 and Sims 3 way more.
I even started creating my own Sim challenge years ago, but I got so bored and keeping up with buying broken packs made me want to scream, so that kinda went by the wayside.
That said, I am inspired to maybe go in an update each and every lot; you know, just freshen them up a bit. I've done that with several homes as I have played and fixed a few lackluster community lots and put them on the gallery, but that was just out of pure frustration. The situation being basically that I arrived at some lots and found them so horrendous that I had to fix them before I even let my Sim hang out there! Hours later, I would load them on the gallery and then shut down the game from exhaustion. Can anyone else relate? 😄
The snowy escape houses were also done by TH-cam simmers 😂
Your British accent and humour is delightful to listen to!
58:17 probably everyone has already pointed this out, but yes, in Japan, the toilet is always separate from the bath area! I'm not sure if sinks in the middle are that common, in the places I've been, there's usually a small sink above the toilet, a larger sink at the entrance to the bathroom area, and the bathroom and toilet are typically connected by a small corridor and not at the "sink area" (I don't know how to call it haha)
1:02:34 it's kind of realistic, though, having that many platforms. I live in a small apartment in Tokyo, and here we have platforms by the entrance, by the bathroom and toilet entrances, and a small platform leading to the bedroom too. In traditional houses, there are usually even more platforms from what I've seen
The two doors going into a bathroom thing is called a "Jack and Jill" bathroom and is one of those weird things us Americans do. It's typically used between two kids rooms or in mid quality dorm rooms. And how you prevent people walking in on each other is just getting into the habit of locking both doors soon as you go in lol
a bathroom with two doors is like a jack and jill thing and just lock the door so no one can open it. It tends to be in between kids bedrooms for them to share.
The bathroom with two doors is called a jack and Jill to be shared between the bedrooms. The house I’m in right now actually has one and the toilet/bath/shower is behind another door so if someone was brushing their teeth for example, the other can use the restroom with privacy lol. It’s typically with the rooms that would most likely be used as kids bedrooms and only for those rooms to use. On the other hand the master bedroom in our home has no door going into the bathroom/closet area and I think that’s so weird. The toilet has its own door, shower is behind a wall so not in plain view when you’re in the room but the bathtub is in the back facing the bedroom with a clear view 😂
Many of these lots have aged like milk.
10:03 those are called Jack and Jill bathrooms, the one I had in my childhood home had a separate room with the toilet and tub. Typically there are locks on the doors to prevent embarrassing moments.
The concept of a bathroom with doors on both sides leading in from bedrooms is called a Jack and Jill bathroom. Neither room truly has an ensuite, but both bedrooms still have direct access to a bathroom. Obviously, when you go in there, you would have to lock the other doors so that the other person doesn't walk in on you. LOL
This was nice and surprising you made it into a long video and didn't break it into several videos. I could have seen this being maybe two neighborhoods per videos or something. Thanks for the content!!
