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.....
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 😕
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.
yeah I didn't really grasp what they wanted, most of his favourites were literally empty than they said thing's were bad over very easy to change or minor things. I know it's not that deep but still seem's very odd to rate something like the Community Centre from growing together as Horrendaus when it has a lot of gameplay for all age groups. Or Say that starter homes look sad, like fucken duhh, they can't reach into Debug or access all DLC to make it proper mint.
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...
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
I'M COMING IN TO DEFEND MID-NOWHERE - it's really nice for a cottage if you kick out all the residents of the island and bulldoze everything and make the whole island rustic. Beyond that it's not worth a cent ❤ 21:36 God when he made me
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 😭😭😭
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
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 remember rebuilding Rattlesnake juice and turning it into the most trashy, run down, hellhole of a biker bar. The only things I could have done to make it worse is if I made CC with posters of low brow bands like Jackyl. Or make a basement that was turned into a grease trap, That actually happened at a biker bar near where I live BTW.
A wise woman (Cindi Li) once said “we are ALL only temporarily able bodied,” and I think it’s so important for folks with physical disabilities to share these intimate and honest experiences with us all without shame. This is the human experience and at some point - whether age or injury, we will all eventually develop physical limitations and there is nothing wrong with that. ❤ keep sharing these honest experiences.
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! 😂
Can we just take the time to appreciate Satch for spending what was most likely hoursssss of loading in and out of lots just to give us a funny video of him dissing EA that no one had even asked for 😂❤ This is the reason Satch will always be my favorite simmer
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..
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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? 😄
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 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😭
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.
1:36 yep it’s called a Jack and Jill bathroom and it’s usually for the second and third bedrooms. It’s super annoying. I think it was more of a thing in the 70s and 80s, most of the newer homes don’t have this anymore.
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.
Hahaha, it's called a Jack and Jill bathroom. You lock both doors lol or many times the toilet and shower are separated and private from the sink/ vanity area.
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

I think it would be cool to see a sequel where you tier the excellent rated lots (builds only) from best to worst.

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
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 😭😭😭
They're called pavlova's now 😂
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Laughed through the whole thing! That was a lot to do!
Gotta love how the italian words turned french😂
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
I didn't know I needed this ranking video until you posted it 😊
pavlova is a desert actually XD
I love that every lot in Newcrest is EXCELLENT
Ikr, Newcrest doing a lot of heavy lifting for the final tally 😅
@@mariekeho the 2 15x20's lot from newcrest are borderline unsuable with the lighting tbh
Every singles oasis build: i like that they tried with the roof but bad 😅
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 -__-
Would love to see this from a builder perspective. Like which ones have the best lighting?
I remember rebuilding Rattlesnake juice and turning it into the most trashy, run down, hellhole of a biker bar. The only things I could have done to make it worse is if I made CC with posters of low brow bands like Jackyl. Or make a basement that was turned into a grease trap, That actually happened at a biker bar near where I live BTW.
A wise woman (Cindi Li) once said “we are ALL only temporarily able bodied,” and I think it’s so important for folks with physical disabilities to share these intimate and honest experiences with us all without shame. This is the human experience and at some point - whether age or injury, we will all eventually develop physical limitations and there is nothing wrong with that. ❤ keep sharing these honest experiences.
Underrated video idea
13:13 omg the toilet paper has me dying
edit: 13:50 again"? it's getting ridiculous
I've discovered some nice new lots to build on, thx for the reviews 👍
Really enjoyed that and that would have been time consuming. Thank you Satch …… the loo roll holder narration was hysterical 😅
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! 😂
Can we just take the time to appreciate Satch for spending what was most likely hoursssss of loading in and out of lots just to give us a funny video of him dissing EA that no one had even asked for 😂❤
This is the reason Satch will always be my favorite simmer
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
Satch calling all the purgolas pavlovas is sending me 😂
Love you Satch❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
i will never get tired of these ranking videos
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
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?
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.
"They tried" is probably the nicest way to say something sucks
"I think they did good, its getting bad." IS SENDING ME!!!
Excuse me I am so early but HOW DID YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR THIIIIS!?
The crane house in the Eco Lifestyle world was built by a youtuber Simproved.
I survived SatchOnSims ranking every lot in the Sims 4!
47:18 SALAMI IM CRYING 😭😭😭🙏
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? 😄
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
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😭
Holy cow, Satch! This EPIC!!!! luv ya.
Thank you for doing this video. I NEVER go to these builds and replace them IMMEDIATELY!
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.
I think you graded the Akiyama house in Mt. Komorebi twice, one's rated excellent and one's rated good lol.
bro says excellent at every empty lot, i swear if we just gave him all the worlds but with the lots empty he'd love them
1:36 yep it’s called a Jack and Jill bathroom and it’s usually for the second and third bedrooms. It’s super annoying. I think it was more of a thing in the 70s and 80s, most of the newer homes don’t have this anymore.
For the oasis spring bathroom, thats called a jack and jill bathroom. Its on you to lock the doors lol
The snowy escape houses were also done by TH-cam simmers 😂
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.
41:50 although you can’t actually cook cause the fruit bowl is on the only counter space
Hahaha, it's called a Jack and Jill bathroom. You lock both doors lol or many times the toilet and shower are separated and private from the sink/ vanity area.
