Merry Christmas!
I love Sims 2 speed builds so much! They're so comforting. The houses look great!!
Beautiful Reno's!!! Fun fact, the European Townhouse is my favourite lot bin house haha, I just love that little guy. You did a wonderful job with it!
Merry Christmas Ani, hope you have a wonderful celebration!
Thank you, Beth🥰 Oh it is? That's cool, I'm extra happy that you like what I did with it in that case. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well ❤
Same, I really love that house and it's so fun to remodel in different ways!
Ani you did it again. They look amazing! 😍
You are so good at renovating and building! Also bless your heart for uploading them! Thats an insta download for me 😇
Also marry christmas Ani! Have great holidays with your boyfriend and family. 🥰😇
Thank you so much, ReLash ❤ You're always so incredibly kind and supportive, it really means a lot 🥰 I hope you'll enjoy the houses! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
I like busy wallpapers but I prefer them with wainscoating or something. They're much better as the top half of a wall with a bottom. Also a big fan of solid paint colors with kickboards and crown molding! I still love watching your builds though because they give me so many good ideas since our taste is different.
That's awesome, I love that we can all express ourselves like this with different tastes and still enjoy each other's stuff ❤ Oh wow really? That's so interesting! In Sweden, house owners usually have to formally ask the government for permission before building anything on their owned property. And if we paint our houses in any colour that doesn't fit in with the local "image", the house owner is forced to repaint it 😂 So silly
@@AniBats Oh! We have something similar in the US. Some historic districts and "Home Owners Associations" will set rules like that as well. I get the appeal but I'd rather have more freedom... Until I drive past that royal blue spray-painted house in a neighboring town and wish that someone could have stopped _that_ choice lol
Haha fair point 😂
Thank You, You Did A Beautiful Job I Love All 3 HOUSES❤
These turned out beautifully Ani! Id have never imagined the transformations but I agree you kept the original feel of them all, very nicely done. Its so fascinating to me how different people’s observations and life experiences affect what they do in the sims, for example you said you find solid colour walls unrealistic but busy wallpapers realistic and its the complete opposite for me, I’m very used to seeing walls being a plain colour with a skirting board along the bottom, often even just a cream/beige colour. When I see wallpaper its usually on one feature wall with the rest being plain. Wallpapers to me are quite old fashioned actually, like you’d see in a 70s house, but in ways they can look really grand as well. Love how you use them! Also, I don’t think I’ve really quite gathered how you handle finances in your gameplay, do you give sims the money for whatever house you want for them or do they have to be able to afford it already or do you have like a loan or mortgage system perhaps? Id love to know more about that! Merry Christmas!❤
Thank you so much, Gabby 🥰 I agree, it's really interesting how we all view the sims from different angles. I do get what you mean, and I agree that wallpapers are generally old fashioned in real life and not as common, that's true. I think though what I experience in the sims is that those completely plain, one-color walls (especially those without trims) look extremely flat and that they make the entire house feel less realistic. Even adding one-coloured walls with different textures on it removes that entire thing - that's why I like having cement texture walls, wooden panels etc that adds depth and dimension to the walls. Also the wallpapers with busy patterns have the same effect, for me. But that's just me, as you say, we all look at these things in different ways.
Oh, well, finances usually go like this: the kids grow up with their parents, sharing their finances until they become young adults. They richest families tend to transfer money to their children's accounts, so that they have something to start with. But so far that's only been the case for Dina's son Gabriel (I think). They can also, of course, get scholarships the normal way. Then, they move into a shared student apartment with one or two of their friends, taking out student loans for approximately 10 000 simoleons each. I furnish and prepare their apartment, using as much furniture from their childhood rooms as possible, and then have them pay back some of the remaining money on their loans at once, keeping it fairly equal. (Some sims keep living at home, such as Alexander Goth, Ricky Cormier and Iris Copur. Others have moved into their own house at once, with help of a mortgage and money from their family, such as Sophie Miguel.)
During their studies they live off of the money they earn from passing terms, as well as their potential jobs (most of my YA have full time jobs). Once they have graduated, they need to move out of the student apartments at once, and that's when I decide whether they will move into a starter home, a bigger house, or another apartment. Depending on what I pick, I will take out "a mortgage" for them to afford the house, or let them take out a small loan to afford furnishing their new apartment. I can also send money from their family if I feel like it makes sense.
So when they start out their adult lives, they can either have a small student loan that they pay off on, living in a cheap apartment (such as Beau Newbie). Or, they can have both a student loan and a mortgage that they need to pay off simultaneously (such as Randy Lillard). I generally allow the sims to take out loans whenever they need it, which I feel is quite all right seeing as Monique's Computer has such a ruthless interest rate.
Once they become elders, and get "hospitalized" with pneumonia from my sickness dice rolls, they move into the nursing home, and whatever money they brought with them they will divide to their children. That happened with Abhijeet Bertino, for example: he lived alone in an apartment, so when he moved to the nursing home, both Orlando and Oliver got the majority of his money, one half each.
For families with poor finances, they can ask for money from the church. Every Sunday, there's a sermon that I hold with help of Sophie David's Opportunity Pack (the mystic icon). The money that the priest earns he or she puts into their bank account, and then hand out to applicants on Mondays.
I think that's the gist of it 😂 I hope that was comprehensible. Shorty put: I manipulate the town's finances with help of Monique's Computer, depending on what I want to accomplish.
A very Merry Christmas to you too ❤
@@AniBats Hey, I hope you had a lovely Christmas! Sorry for the late reply - I kept meaning to go on PC to reply because its so difficult to reply to a long comment on mobile when you might want to go back and read bits then just kept forgetting! Anyway, thank you so much for taking the time to write that long explanation. Thats really interesting and quite similar to how I handle things really - the Loans and Bank Accounts on Monique's Computer are so essential to me! I love a family having a loan or 'mortgage' to pay off because then they don't just constantly accumulate wealth as soon as they have a suitable house. Rich families helping out their younger generations is a great way to spend some of their funds too.
Thank you, I did ❤ I hope you had a wonderful Christmas too. No worries at all, I do the exact same thing 😊 Ah cool, Monique's Computer really is such a great object. I agree, it does make things a lot more interesting when they don't instantly get wealthy, but have loans and higher bills to pay.
I also have memories of playing with Craftsman's Pride as a kid and getting frustrated with the 3rd floor 😂 at the time, I thought having 3 floors made it fancier, but in reality, it was kind of a pain to deal with.
Thank you for the video! It's a lot of fun to see your building process, and it gives me some ideas for my own renovations. I like how you incorporate all the plants into the landscape. It really ties everything together and makes it look more natural!
I hope you are enjoying the holidays and that you have a happy new year! 💜💕
Haha right!? It's so ... oddly shaped 😅 Aw I'm glad ❤ Thank you so much, Merlee! Same to you! Happy new year ❤
Really love your renovations on these homes!!!
Thank you 🥰
I love these renovations! You really made them fit into your town’s aesthetic without losing the feel of the originals 💕
Thank you so much, Katie ❤🥰
stunning 😮💨
Thank you Ani! You are a pro with building and renovating that's for sure. Love your wallpapers and wooden floors.
Thank you so much, Marijke 🥰❤
These renos were gorgeous! I love your aesthetic!
Thank you 🥰❤
just found your channel and i love seeing more sims 2 simmers :) watching you build and hearing you explain your process is honestly so nice, i absolutely suck at building in this game lol
Thank you so much 🥰 I'm sure that's not true, we do tend to be our own worst critics. ❤
I absolutely LOVE your builds. They’re all so beautiful 😍
Edit: I’ve just got to the end and I’m SO happy you’ve put them up for download!!! Thank you so much
Thank you so much, Natalie 🥰 My pleasure, I hope you'll enjoy them in your game ❤
oh i love the mock floor idea, it made the house look so much nicer! i've watched your tutorial on the cheat before but i have to rewatch it again cause i already forgot how to do it. It would be cool if you showed all the stuff you can do with the cheat, like i didn't consider the roof thing. Loved all these builds! they will be a nice addition to your pleasantview! Definitely downloading all of these
Thank you so much, Kalika 🥰 I hope you'll enjoy the houses in your game too.
Haha, well only issue is that so much can be done with the CFE cheat that I wouldn't be able to think of all the ways. Only the imagination's the limit really.
But some of them would be: connected garages, mock floors, split level staircases, house on a foundation with the entrance at ground level, split levels inside of a house, elevated roof pieces that can be angled separately, slightly shorter/taller walls, two level basements, swimable ponds, pools with glass walls, arched bridges, domed roofs (such as the one I made for the greenhouse at the science lab).
I'm sure there are hundreds more ways to use it that I can't think of right now though.
@@AniBats ah these all sound amazing, my building skills are very basic but maybe i'll pick up some stuff with all the builds you do!
I absolutely love your builds keep up the good work!!:) Sims 2 is the best
Thank you ❤ I agree, it's definitely the best!
These are stunning 😍😍 your talent amazes me x
Thank you so much ❤
@@AniBats Is the cc in the pdf file additional files to download? X
Oh, not it's just common courtesy to add in the source of the files if you upload builds including CC. That way, I don't claim ownership of any of the additional files; you can see exactly who created them and where to find any additional files if it comes from a set. So you only need the files I included in the download for the houses to work 😊
Beautiful house ❤
Thank you 🥰
@@AniBats you are welcome ♥️ 😊
Älskar dina videor! Jättefint renoverat ♡
Tack så mycket, Rhonja 🥰❤
Can you please do More Lot bin renovations, i would love to see More ❤❤👉👈
Sure that could be fun! Which lot bin houses would you like to see? 🥰
@@AniBats the Bonny bungalow and tidy Tudor♥️♥️
How do you make your game look so smooth? It looks amazing. I thought it was the sims 3 for a second!
Thank you 🥰 Hmm, if we're talking smoothness I suspect it has to do with Gunmod's Camera Mod: modthesims.info/d/97642/gunmod-s-camera-mod-3-1-all-game-versions.html
But if we're talking lighting, it's Gunmod's Radiance Light System: modthesims.info/d/290746/gunmod-s-radiance-light-system-2-4-4-29-09.html
@@AniBats thank you! I want my game to look like this 🙏
Your renovations and speed builds are my absolute favorite videos, I am in such awe with how beautiful your houses end up looking and the way everything pulls together! 😍 I hope you don't mind me asking but where do you find your wallpapers? Specifically the ones you tend to use in bedrooms with the black trims? I have been dying to find out but can never locate anything even similar made for TS2!
Oh wow thank you so much, Taliah ❤ Not at all, feel free to ask 😊 The wallpapers I like most for bedrooms are all by Paisley Avenue: paisleyavenueredux.tumblr.com/ Some of the ones I have are older than the ones on Tumblr though, but I recently came by her mediafire and dropbox folders where there are some older stuff: www.mediafire.com/folder/jehibim2g6c8a/SIMS_2_RECOLORS and www.dropbox.com/sh/rmtga1840yzuwv3/AAC6LdGPNMfkXiagOU1VX6r0a?dl=0
If you still can't find what you're looking for, I got most of the ones I use by downloading JodelieJodelie's builds, which includes them: jodeliejodelie.tumblr.com/
First of all: Amazing builds! 😍 I love the way you explain your thought process throughout the video. Second of all, do I detect a Swedish accent? As a Swedish simmer myself, it is always nice to see others who still play and appreciate The Sims 2, since most of my rl friends have moved on to exclusively play The Sims 4. Excuse me if I am wrong about that though 😅
Thank you so much, Mary 🥰 You're right! I'm Swedish too 😄 Happy to meet a kindred spirit so close to home ❤
@@AniBats Vad roligt! 🥰
LOVE THIS! i was wondering if you have the links for doors and windows (specially for the 2nd house), they look gorg!! great video!! ❤
Thank you 🥰❤ These builds are up for download, so all windows, doors etc are included there. There's also a list included in the download detailing where the cc is from. Links in description
@@AniBats thanks love! i did it after my comment!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️
how do you do the mock floor? i tried doing it in my game but it just doesn't work 😥
You can create it with the help of the constrain floor elevation cheat. I have a tutorial for it right here: th-cam.com/video/N1EDX7Gvgm4/w-d-xo.html I walk through creating a mock floor at 26:00. Also, here's a neat tutorial by Sunrader Sims that was recommended by Charmful: th-cam.com/video/ydXN1lkX1lg/w-d-xo.html
I was looking for that road replacement half year ago! And this grass replacement! 😍😍😍😍😍
Where can I download it?
It's beautiful isn't it? 🥰
The lush terrain is Criquette's Rural Charm: criquette-was-here.tumblr.com/ruralcharm
The road is by CuriousB: simfileshare.net/folder/21391/
@@AniBats Thank you so much! ❤
maybe a dumb question but can I still download the renovated lots even if I don't have every CC item you used? loved your accent btw
Absolutely, all needed cc is included in the download ❤
how do you play the sims 2??? is it a download
I got it off Origin back when they were handing the UC out for free. It's not on there anymore unfortunately, but it can be found online.
It can be found as an abandonware game for free
The thorpe set is such a great one. So many variety of windows and doors! Remodeling videos are some of my favorite types as far as sims 2 go. Aren't roofs just the worst? Aha. If anyone wants a good tutorial on that mock floor you did, sunrader did one called 'raising the roof' th-cam.com/video/ydXN1lkX1lg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SunraderSims
Question! Did you watch JodelieJodelie videos back in the day? Your landscaping style/process reminds me of Jodelie's videos. I love the blue flowers theme, so pretty and cohesive witht he exterior of the house!
It really is! I really love how versitile it is. Haha, roofs sure can be tricky, but they're fun too 😄 Thank you for sharing that link, that's really thoughtful ❤
Unfortunately I didn't know about her when she was actively making content, but I did stumble upon her about 3 years ago and instantly became a huge fan of hers. Actually most of the build and buy stuff I use come from going on a wild downloading spree on her Simblr 😂 So I'm sure that a lot of inspiration for my builds come from her, although her gardens - wow, I could never! Such detail!!! Incredible!
