Don't get me wrong, I love these houses in the base game. But every single time that I look at them, I have to fix them and remake them. Every single time. They just need renovations
literally
I look at them more like rentals. Very basic, gets the job done, but needs some pizzazz. 😆
i think they did the home seems unfinished on purpose because it is a starter home. they want us to play and make the sims work until they have enough money to buy more items
That’s the purpose. Where is the fun if the houses are all pretty? It’s the basis of gameplay.
only time i’ve ever played in that house without renovating was when i first got the game and that lasted like an hour
I feel like literally every sims player played in this iconic house
Every simmer, and most members from the sims community has lived there she’s an icon 😂
@@yuhhbiscuit yeah, my first sim I remember lived here
And also likely the most renovated house on the game.
maybe my gameplay is weird but i never actually played in this 🙃
@@alice-mc8ki I’ve lived in this house before but in my first pre- “official” save file I lived in Oasis Springs 😂
I love pretending my sims used all of their money to buy these houses and fix them up while playing rags to riches
You just gave me an idea 0.O
SAME HAHA
that’s what i’m doing but i’m still at rags and the original sim is an elder now
This house not having a door to the big bedroom has always REALLY bothered me. It's always given me "renovating a shotgun house but we gave up halfway through" vibes.
First thing I always did was add a wall and door
I wish they would update Willow Creek etc. with all the new items that came. It would be great if Simmers would be able to make new lots instead!
It would be nice if they asked simmers like Vixella Simsie Kate the Emerald ect to build them.
@@yuhhbiscuit I'd suggest Jessicapie, but my computer cries when I look at her builds. lol Amazing builds, but SOO much stuff on them that my system would lag out and die. 😄
That would be so fun and a great easy way to make the game feel fresh!
@@slate613 Not if EA emposed their usual restrictions. You CAN build good stuff under those restrictions.
@@yuhhbiscuit They actually have started doing exactly that in recent expansions. All of the new buildings in the Werewolf expansion were built by James Turner, for example.
I for one, have never in my life seen a house without ceiling lights.
my entire apartment only has one light and it’s above the bathroom mirror. we have to have table and floor lamps everywhere else
@@paygeh6663 That's an apartment though, different beast to a house
In Los Angeles we don’t have ceiling lights in the living room and bedroom
@@cristakatsumi8515 why?
Here is the UK. From my experience anyway. I have only ever seen ceiling lights in both apartments and houses everywhere. The majority of places have windows in the bathrooms, not all, but most have windows. I've never seen a home only lit by wall lights or lamps. It would be incredibly dark if thay was the case especially in the winter months. I live in the North of Scotland. So, it gets very dark
After 7 years of this house being in the game I can’t be the only one who wants to know who built this house and who allowed it to be in the game.
I think the same!?
@@emerson3669 I’ve learned to accept it tho this house is an icon 😂
maybe bc they have an idea of the "starter homes" being crappy, so we can slowly work our way up to make it BETTER with simoliens. i personally always play this way, it's really fun.
It feels like they were doing the 10 minute build challenge.
The person who decided to make the oven MINT GREEN and the furniture BEIGE please talk to me what kind of psycho ideas you had going through your mind
sims' base game houses have something so unerving about them... i'll take a good fixing anytime!
Theyre like creepy, reminds me of two things. 1. like a bachelor thats like "yup tv and chair, all set" and 2. A crack house without the crack and trash that's usually around
The issue is also, the interior doesnt match the exterior. And the style is known for being well, decorated inside and out
One would think they did it on purpose 😂
I am a console player and I realized the sims team doesn’t play test anything. The library in university uses island counter in the bathroom so the mirror is not usable. The thing is I think they did that for the dorm too and I can’t fix it because I can’t use cheats
Which console do you use? I also play console and know how to pull up cheats for the PS4
@@SirSproutsALot ps4 but I want trophies
@@MizzBooSongz Oh ok, makes sense
@@SirSproutsALot we've been trying to use the cheats but it isn't working idk why we also play on console ps4
What about editing the dorm before moving a sim there?
I love this lot because of the fishing, collectibles and access to Sylvan Glade, but my god it is such an assault on the eyes. This was a much needed and great upgrade of the house, and I'm glad you kept it as a shotgun-style house since Willow Creek is supposed to be fake New Orleans.
What is Sylvan Glade? Is it part of an expansion pack I don't have 😅
@@kalinachristev9164 sylvan glade is one of the two basegame secret areas! there's a unique and rather fancy oak tree in this particular neighborhood that, in a fashion more similar to art objects than a tree, has the option to let sims use the "view" interaction on it. do that a couple times, and you get a new interaction that lets your sim water the tree. do _that_ a couple times, and then a new option to talk to the tree. do _that,_ and a doorway opens up in the trunk, along with the option to explore what's inside.
what follows is a small rabbithole text adventure, and if you pick all the right options, you find yourself transported to the sylvan glade-an exceptionally pretty little area in a state of perpetual twilight, full of uncommon plants and water features containing rare fish.
there's also the forgotten grotto in oasis springs, but you have to get a sim to max handiness before you can open that one up, so most people tend to stick with the fancy tree. great place for collectibles, though, the little rocks in there respawn super quickly.
@@kalinachristev9164 You can actually see the tree when she zooms out. Once when talking about putting move objects on and when she's talking about the other lots not having trees. You can see the kind of the twisted colorful tree above her face cam.
And to piggy back off the other commenter, the other area is indeed locked by max handiness. It's in the Oasis Springs park though can also be accessed from the Landgraab's lot, all the way at the back there's a boarded up mine entrance. It's a very pretty crystal cave and the batfish is found only there. The Glade has the Treefish. Also both are safe for Vampires all day since the Glade is always at twilight and the Grotto is a cave.
@@_Fizel_
There are vampires in the game!? 😮
I just got it and I’m having information overload 😵💫
@@sr2971 Hun there's a whole pack dedicated to just vampires. And one for werewolves XD
As somebody with 2 Sims 4 packs I am very thankful that you makes of your build base game only, it allows me to use them in my world's ❤
i only have 2 packs that i didnt get to pick so they arent the best 🙃
@@gracev1654 same here
just pirate the game lmao it’s literally not playable without all the packs imo
@@madimorie id rather use mods…
You can. I have the base game and everything is pirated PLUS mods and gallery access. Look for Anadius' crack. There are likely tutorials for installation on youtube if you're new to pirated games. Good luck!
Yes. The original houses are so boring. I’m excited to add these to my saves
Snap knows the move is coming, she can feel your anxiety about it
To your comment about lights and dark rooms, we bought a home that had the WORST lighting in terms of lack of artificial lights. We did have a half bath with just ONE scone above the mirror. Insane, the first thing we did was add overhead lighting to most rooms 🤣
I know you've been doing this for what feels like forever, but thank you. You helped me in a time where I was weak and Sims gave me a lot of life, plus you helped with that. I can watch your streams and fall asleep because you've become apart of my life. I know it doesn't mean much, and you get a million messages a day, but thank you.
also, this makes me oddly sentimental. I remember picking this house way back in 2014 because I wasn't super confident in my building skills and like just working on this lot over and over really taught me a lot about how to build. I must have rebuild this lot a dozen times or so before I was ever comfortable enough with building from scratch/on larger lots.
Watching her explain the EA builds made me realize my house is an EA build IRl 😂 it’s an old home from 1900 and the only ceiling light is in dinning room
My house is from the 60s, and it’s not much better. There are overhead lights in the bedrooms, but they are in front of the closets. And the biggest bedroom has two closets side by side, so it’s right in the middle. So my closet is really dark because the bi-fold door is in the way. There’s a “chandelier” in the dining room and an overhead light in the kitchen. We added lights under the cabinets and over the sink and stove, and we have a bunch of lamps with smart lights so we can easily turn them off.
@@Rabellaka. I feel smart lights are a must with a house that doesn’t have ceiling lights with an easy access light switch. I have all smart lights for that same reason!
@@jessig8854 and with voice activated devices, controlling them is really easy. Even my autistic, non-verbal child can manage it sometimes.
@@Rabellaka. Autistic non-verbal person here, maybe add some switches for them?
I cannot imagine how frustrating it would be if you need to use your voice to turn lights on and off when your words just... Doesnt work.
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 we had switches. He broke them. He’s also pretty young.
I feel like the base game start lots kinda just need an update in general. Cause they're a little sad. Even the really nice houses are just... Sad.
Agreed, so dark!
same with brindtleton bay
We really need more single tile interior doors for medium and tall wall height, it makes those heights so unplayable
I recently fixed up this house too! I switched the living room and kitchen around because I felt like the living space was too small. Renovating existing houses is my favorite thing to do in the Sims
I love simsie so mutch, like she seems so kind and funny she is just a nice person, I enjoy all of these videos very much!😊♥️♥️
Sorry if that sounds weird, lol edit:7 likes, wow thank u!!♥️
Edit 2: omg I'm famous😎
Willow creek starter homes hurt me because they’re so outdated, dark and empty
When we moved into my current apartment, it only has overhead lights in the two bathrooms and kitchen. We had one lamp we had to carry around to the living room and bedrooms if we wanted light until we could buy more lights. Big agree every room should at the very least have one overhead light!!
Kayla if you need material, do the 'every room is a different challenge challenge'.🐸
I believe Plumbella did it first, but respectfully correct me if I'm wrong 👀
The fact that with so little EA could make much more attractive houses and they doesn't even bother....this looks amazing Kayla!!!
everytime i start eating my lunch at work, simsie posts a perfect video for me to watch
Every time i go to bed in germany, there is a perfect video to relax 😄☀️🌒
I tend to do a lot of renovations of the Sims base builds like those trailer homes. It's so boring, it's not even overly practical, and often, there are so many mistakes like uneven windows that would make any contractor's head spin. I love doing renos, and your builds are always so nice and cozy! You always give me inspiration for my own builds.
Ive been making a save file and recently renovated daisy hovel
I actually really liked it
I put a rocky pathway and a monkey bar set
I was really anxious rn at university so i came to a lonely classroom and I'm planning to see this video while i try calm down while in here Thank you for uploading now!
(Edited because i had some mistakes and i put some weird stuff like "thank god" I'm not even a believer lol)
You will do great at university! It's scary to start but you will enjoy it soon! 😊😊😊👍
7:05 I think if you hold Alt or something you can actually place stuff freely. giving the whole building more character
I love love love this idea. I neeeeed you to do a series on this.
Finally bought the full game and you’ve inspired me to do so many builds !
I really liked this video, it was so simple and informative! I love this kind of early game building 😊
I live in the USA. I've been in many many houses/apartments- ones I've rented, the one I own, and other people's homes I was invited into. I have never been in a house that did not have a ceiling light in the main rooms (except houses that were off-grid), except the house I bought. It has ceiling lights in every room except the living room, which is annoyingly dark. I don't understand the reasoning behind skipping the light, it seems as weird to me, like just as weird as it would be when you see those stairs leading to nowhere.
As I sit in my living room, I relate. We have two lamps in here because it’s so dark, and literally every other room in the house has ceiling lights. It’s weird.
I LOVE the updated version of that house. I am so excited to download it. You really do amazing builds and renovations. Thank you Kayla AKA lilsimsie 🤗🥰🤗
I love Creek Cabana. have used it as my starter countless times and have renovated it too many times worth remembering. I've remade that whole neighborhood a few times, always try to keep the houses in that neighborhood in starter price range and kerp the overall style of the houses. I always give them little storm cellars/laundry rooms that are only accessible from outside, and add back doors & porches.
The first thing I ALWAYS do in The Sims is redo the entire starter homes 🤣
Same!
i think all of us, especially non builders like me, are painfully familiar with trying to renovate the base game starter homes when you earn more simoleons from jobs and skills.
ye this is how i play the game
I love this thank you!!! I get so stressed out about improving my base homes but you made it look so easy and cheap! Can't wait to give it a try thank yooouu
seeing as i have no idea how to cheat money BEFORE starting a household, this is always my starter house for as long as it takes me to control shift C, copy paste motherlode, and then kick the goths out of their mansion
Thank you for the pro tips!! I will be using the quarter tile placement in my next build!
The sims team needs to start working on base game. I like the random cas items we get every once in a while but the game really needs a huge update. Imagine if all the stuff was more up to date I think the game would be so much more fun.
These are my favorite types of videos! This was soooo satisfying to watch
This is exactly what I didn’t this week, renovating this builds! Outcome is great
It makes me so happy to see you work with St. Jude's. Thank you so much for your time and energy for such an amazing cause! I want to hug you if I ever meet you! Much love to you and yours!!!
I just started playing "seriously" a few days ago. Fisrt thing done: change completely that boring house! Added another room, made it a walking closet. Redesign de kitchen and livingroom, adding an "entrance" (sorry, I don't know how to say it). I even move the hole house to the side!
I always wanted to modify them! Until a couple days ago. My game move a family there and I update it. I make a two story because it was soon to be 5 members. I think I going to fix a couple of thing inspired on you
Did your renovations go well? :]
It's literally mind boggling to me how you come up with new content every day. I can't even figure out what to eat the next day T_T
omg this kind of video is soooo cool! i love the final result 💖
Watching your videos always makes me want to build something, but I haven't really played a Sims game other than the gamecube version.
But I'm finally learning the Sims 4! Floor plans are so much harder than you make them seem! AAAH
most cheap houses and apartments these days do have ceiling lights because its such an important feature, but they use the cheapest one. its called a boob light for obvious reasons. this is funny to me because apparently im 12
Can confirm. I have thought on more than one occasion that the ceiling lights in my apartment do in fact look like breasts
This build looks so much better. I’m not so good at building. Even remodeling, I’m never sure what to do. I love being able to download renos like this. Poor Rick! Being called a scary man. Lol.
BRO, i just started playing sims a few days ago (cuz yk..it's free) and i started watching your videos. I LOVE THEM. YOU ARE JUST SO COOL !!
Yess I need some new houses like these
SO glad I stumbled upon this video as I just started a new Sim in this house a few days ago! X
Kayla this build is SO CUTE!! I want to play in it now!
Love how this game up on my TH-cam after I started redesigning my base game houses 💓
I started watching you a couple of years ago, and then I sort of forgot about you 😭. I finally found you again and I'm addicted to you once again!
These are some of my favorite videos! Love you simsie!!
your videos are so inspiring! I caught covid (second time, lol) so I have a lot of time to play and I got really motivated to fix some of the EA-built houses hehe. I learned so much from watching your videos, things that bothered me but I could never quite put my finger on (like the wall height). Thanks! :D
omygod, thankyou! i was wondering for so long why my mods didn’t showed up but my cc did. Thankyou!
Keep doing these!
I love changing up base game houses. I also try to keep costs down, but I've never tried to challenge myself with a budget. I think I will now, this looked like it was a lot of fun.
I never seen you before but its actually calming to watch you you just seem cool also im a simple man and i just leave me house exactly the same on the sims
I literally just finished renovating this house because i decided to start the not so berry challenge (really happy with the results) and was so upset when i saw the windows immediately thought about you haha and this video just popped up. Crazy
I have been playing sims for most of my life and never knew about the f5 trick!! I have always alt placed, thank u kayla
I never use any of the base game family homes I want my sims to struggle in the beginning sleeping on the bench and stealing food😂 and then eventually I just build them their own house
if only that's how it worked irl :P
Before I really got into the whole ride of cheats, that was my go-to house and build from there. Now I just build the house I want and motherlode my sims into it. This video really gave me the urge to renovate every house (within sims budget) and save them for new games.
I always take the houses in this neighborhood and make them tiny houses.
I have a sim family in that exact house and this is inspiring me to redecorate it!
Yeah my sisters apartment only had lights in the kitchen and bathrooms. She had to buy like 6 floor lamps LMAOO I was like what the heck is this?! Cause I’ve never seen that before
there are no ceiling lights in any of the bedrooms or the living room in my ancient house and it absolutely drives me insane. Lamps. Lamps everywhere.
i use this house for my first sims 4 gameplay and trust me, i'm also having a breakdown over the windows height
Omg I love what you did with it!
I love what you did to this house! 😍✨
I redid this house in my game too. I took the one bedroom and turned half of it into a kitchen, the other half into a laundry area. Then I made the whole back bedroom into two rooms. I created a side yard too and put a back door in the laundry room
Whenever I renovate this lot, for some reason I gotta make that house bright yellow with white trim 😭😭 something about that bright yellow with a cute porch and flowers just speaks to me, it’s a trendy bright grandma house in my mind
I get so interested in someone playing video games. I play sims too on ps4. And I dont know how to glitch lol I'm happy I subscribed to you few weeks ago. You do such great content 👀
I was watching a video (of yours probably?) and it was mentioned that Willow Creek is supposed to be New Orleans-esque and I laughed out loud as someone who currently lives there.
Build your own New Orleans inspired neighborhood, it’s really a blast. Few cities embrace color and personal style like down here
???
I know next to nothing about New Orleans style and my only reference is Mardi Gras and the Princess and the Frog Disney movie but even I know THATS not New Orleans lmao
Probably more like…. Near country midwestern?
@@Hexer404 lol right? But they have a neighborhood called Crawdad Quarter. If they just didn’t name it that maybe they could have had some level of plausible deniability
When is there no content more to do, we always come back to this exact point, renovating this house.
These houses had so much potential. EA just got lazy. I get they're small, but you can still decorate them cute! I'm glad you fixed them, lol
I had a lot of fun just building up and making really tall thin homes in willow creek. :)
I'm currently remodeling everything in Willow Creek and using only Base Game.. this video just made me make a note to fix homes as well and not just community lots
I just renovated this house yesterday before seeing this!! I kept the mint and went with it and made the rest of the house colorful 😂
Please make like a build list of your ideal start of change house holds, like replacements for builds and which restaurants to add, bowing alleys, esc. I want like the lil simsie load out. Rebuild the game.
That was my first sims 4 house back in 2014. Brings back beautiful memories🥺
I’m so proud of you with your charity work 💖💖💖💖
As much as i love seeing her in the videos Snap might be trying to tell you something, if you can give her a quick health check :) (I say this from my own scary experience, my doggie was extra needy and we found out she had a UTI for almost 2 months!)
It looks so good!
I actually fixed up this same house awhile back! It was super fun.
I always fix these houses too, my main issue being that they are shotgun style houses, which means that if you fire a shotgun from the front door, it should go straight out the back door. It bothers me to no end that EA did not do that. That’s why the front doors on this style of house are usually to one side or the other.
Oh my goodness! YES PLEASE...fix these! I thought no one would ever.
i feel like every sims youtuber has done it 😅
@@FunGhoul69 Really? I need to get out and see. 😂
1:05
If The Sims have minecraft spawning mechanic, the starter homes would've been a mob farm by now.
1:17 I literally never saw a room without a ceiling light
We love a refresh!
I actually am new in the game and my first sims (who I'm still playing with) live in this house! and yes I did have to redecorate it
this gives me new ideas for when I change it again :D
thank you so much for uploading! i just found out my grandma had a stroke and i really needed this :)
A real time build LETS GOOOOOOO I thought it was Speed Build Sunday for half a second and got bummed
It looks much better, well done!
I freaking love these boring houses 😂 I also love nice ones, but making these boring ones better is also so nice 😌☺️
