I'm actually a decent builder and don't really need this video but I think that it was done really well to help people who struggle with making builds. It reminds me of Bob Ross, in a sense. He teaches you how to make a specific formulaic painting and once you get the basics down, it becomes easier to visualize changing things from there to make it your own. This tutorial not only teaches hacks with roofs and such but also explains why each step is important, like the rule of 3's. Teaching the "why" makes it easier for a learner to eventually make their own intentionally made decisions. Building can be really overwhelming when you don't know what you're doing and I think this video is good for desensitizing the task. Well done!
I’ve just recently started building my own houses in the game. This was the most helpful video I’ve seen from anyone. I’m 58 and love this game again because of people like you!Thank you and yes please build a more modern home.
I kno it sounds dumb but I had no idea how to make porches so this helped me so much! I always just steal something from the Gallery but I'm excited to make my own now 😌 Thank you Satch 🥰🥰
POV: The Wattersons house kidding aside the house looks so amazing outside and inside. Thank you for giving tips and ideas now I'm much more motivated to build houses and also maybe bigger lots!!
Love all this advice! I just started experimenting with building in The Sims 4, I was a long time Sims 3 player, and these tips are really useful! I also agree that I wish more people would make the houses look a little bit more lived in instead of a magazine cover that you'd see in Homes and Gardens
I'm so used to your wacky content that this was quite a change BUT a welcome one. Really helpful tutorial even though I've been playing the game for years. I would love to see a modern building tutorial! 😊
i love that this video means all the times you gave your builds a clown prison-looking interior for your non-build-focused videos, it was just for laughs. this is quality and i'm stealing the floorplan and layout for my starters.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Great ideas and observations. You have made building much easier and less complicated. I struggle with basements and hope you will include some help with this in a future video. Love your naughty humor!
I know this is a year old, but I am fairly new to SIMS even though I had the game for a while I never played it. I had it for my grand daughters to play when they visit. Lately I have been killing my self playing this game and get so caught up with trying to learn how to build and all the little tricks. Thank you. I have watched a lot of your videos and they are always so helpful and I love your humor. I am pretty savvy with a pc and games or at least for the RPG pc games. Learning this game play has been a small challenge. I get so lost in the building or rearranging and before I know it 6 hours has passed, and haven't even played the actual game. LOL. But its my favorite part of the game even though I am not good at it yet.
I’m very lay with windows and just use the auto feature. It works pretty well and I can always remove one or two by hand if it’s too much or too little.
Thank you for making a tutorial on building from shell to furnished! I built my own (added a balcony too) step-by-step without feeling overwhelmed! That’s also thanks to your tips and tricks and natural humour 😂 PS: I saved it to my gallery and I was surprised to see a lot of ppl have download it 🥹
I have been playing the sims since it began, and I'm hopeless at building houses, this was so helpful, I'm going to try build this, thank you for a easy to follow tutorial
For those like me who are dead set on using flooring for a nice clean walkway and patio: Line it with a short fence, Sims can walk right over it. Base game has a couple of these. The Smooth Keeper which is one of the cheapest and simplest and does the job well. The Wrought Iron Fence is a typical spoked garden fence and looks good around walkways. You can also put terrain paint just along the edge of the flooring tiles to smooth the transition and create informal footpaths between the tiled ones. And of course you can use painted paths and tiled ones in combination.
Thank you SO much for this video. It was the BEST tutorial on building that I have seen so far. The modules and roofing are things I needed very much. All was very well done.
I get way too obsessed with eaves in this game.... WAY.TOO.OBSESSED. This video helped though, using a sliver of a roof to and then.. stop obsessing. . ❤
I love it!!! You are too cute...new subbie here! The last time I played sims was in 2001 with my daughter and it was a dud...things have changed and, i'm learning the game...AGAIN, with my daughter's daughter and I'm here for it! Thanks for the adorable build tutorial! I got it on saved (need to pause a lot), cause im not as clever as I used to be...LMAO - be safe and take care.
Very helpful video. However you can place columns on half tile locations. Just press F5 once to activate half tile placement, place the column. Then Press F5 again to return to full tile placement.
I know he said that it's not a good idea to overthink things, but I find that it works sometimes. lol Rather than sizing down Subtle Saucer lights, I will find logical places to put them, like near doors or in a nice, symmetrically spaced line or square shape. Yes, I will sometimes sit and try to make things look perfect with alt-placing, but it is often worth it to me. lol .nwn.
Is there a way to use platforms so that the game doesn't recognize each platform part as its own room? I made a bedroom with platforms, and couldn't put it on the gallery as a room because it would only select parts of the room. When I build a wall around the entire thing to put that on the gallery as a room, the bedroom walls could no longer be seen. It was so frustrating I finally added it as a lot, which of course shows the room from the top down, so you STILL can't actually see the room.
Very cluttered buildings look nice in youtube videos but they are a nightmare to have sims do anything when actually playing the game, so I keep my counters and floors free of stuff

This video is literally building in Sims 4 for dummies! I love this tutorial so thank you for this video!
i love that this video means all the times you gave your builds a clown prison-looking interior for your non-build-focused videos, it was just for laughs. this is quality and i'm stealing the floorplan and layout for my starters.
i've always sucked at building, so this is koinda helpful :))
thank u daddaye satch
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Great ideas and observations. You have made building much easier and less complicated. I struggle with basements and hope you will include some help with this in a future video. Love your naughty humor!
I really needed this because I only play in CAS mode 🤣 Thank you so much, Satch!
This is so incredibly helpful, thank you! Simple and easy to understand even for a newbie!
You made a house from start to finish in 30 minutes. There will be tons of new houses on the gallery! LOL Thanks hun!

Just started playing Sims for the building aspect, I'm still figuring it out but i love how versatile it is. Thanks for the cool tutorial!
woah you have really helped
before my houses were very ugly and now they are very sexy.
I’m very lay with windows and just use the auto feature. It works pretty well and I can always remove one or two by hand if it’s too much or too little.
you really breaking down step by step exterior and floor plan was super helpful. i can decorate, but i am so bad at building.
Thank you for making a tutorial on building from shell to furnished! I built my own (added a balcony too) step-by-step without feeling overwhelmed! That’s also thanks to your tips and tricks and natural humour 😂

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

Honestly even I could use this and I've been playing for a year plus 😂
Litterally same
And you say you’re not much of a builder, this is awesome 👏🏻
Thank you Satch!! Extremely useful tutorial, I will use this for my builds from now on. Keep doing what you're doing. x 💕
Thank you SO much for this video. It was the BEST tutorial on building that I have seen so far. The modules and roofing are things I needed very much. All was very well done.
Thanks so much, Satch, this was very informative and helpful! I'm hoping for more building tutorials in the future!
This is hands down the best build tutorial I've seen...Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. As a new player all of your tips are going to help me alot!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Lol at “Porsche”, casual dig at Americans 😂
It was a dig at myself for being dyslexic 😂
I get way too obsessed with eaves in this game.... WAY.TOO.OBSESSED.
This video helped though, using a sliver of a roof to and then..

The dirty jokes! 🤣
I'm good at building, but it's still fun to watch.

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