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

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 😂

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

First thing I always did was add a wall and door

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 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

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

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 😂

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?

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

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!

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.

Agreed, so dark!

same with brindtleton bay

Every time i go to bed in germany, there is a perfect video to relax 😄☀️🌒

ye this is how i play the game

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.

You will do great at university! It's scary to start but you will enjoy it soon! 😊😊😊👍

Same!

Can confirm. I have thought on more than one occasion that the ceiling lights in my apartment do in fact look like breasts

Did your renovations go well? :]

if only that's how it worked irl :P

??? 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
