i built a sims house using just ONE color 

I have absolutely seen long skinny bathrooms, and honestly find them really useful in the Sims when all you want is a half-bath.

Okay this particular style of “modern” decoration reminds me vividly of how the rich, male love interest would decorate his flat in every single rom con circa ~2004

Yes to the long skinny half bath! We have lived in at lest 2 houses with them and my aunt has one in her current house. I think it’s a pretty normal half bath layout!

About the money thing, what I've been doing is going to a brand new plot for each generation and having "inheritance money" split between siblings. Plus I play it long and do university for all and have this mod that makes tuition fees expensive and allowing for the loans to just RACK UP. Really helps make it go from riches to rags to riches real quick.

You should do something with Stanley where he tries to get rich by being a bartender at different bars.

In Germany, it's really common for houses to have a 2x1 bathroom (just toilet + sink) next to the front door!

Let me add to the skinny bathroom debate: my friend who lives in a very old apartment in the city has such a ridiculously long and skinny bathroom, I had to laugh for the first time I saw it. It's literally 1 meter wide and 5 meters long with a toilet and a sink at the very end of it. It's so ridiculous, imagine building that in the sims 😂

I too have a long skinny half bathroom in my house, and love to put them in my builds. Y’all wildin

I've played the not so berry challenge and today I learned that Gen 2 was meant to be red. I speak French and I just assumed that it was meant to be the light pink colour. The more you know lol

When I played through the Rose gen, I built the whole house pink, themed my heir pink, and played until my Rose heir was about to age up into an elder before I realized that there was a separate pink gen, and the Rose one was probably supposed to be red 😂

I haven’t watched it yet but I know this Is gonna be funny. U have taught me so much about the sims so I would like to say Tysm simsie.

They're called powder rooms, bathrooms with just a sink and toilet! Super common.

I love the fact simsie sounds like a real estate agent when touring the house

I've always lived in apartments so I've never had anything but long skinny bathrooms? Must be nice to have comfortable/usable space in a bathroom, wouldn't know what that's like.

It's funny you did a modern build for the red gen, meanwhile I made a Georgian colonial for my red gen

I love skinny bathrooms, especially in the Sims! I live in the UK and I have two long half bathrooms and then my actual 'bathroom' which doesn't actually have a toilet in. The loos are usually separate here with one upstairs and one downstairs. I think that house layout is pretty standard around most of the UK, ask Dan! Love the build by the way, would be keen to see you do another legacy challenge like this with some of the newer packs or even an occult one

in central and eastern europe there is often a small separate toilet room especially in apartment buildings

So I'm watching this and thinking it looks familiar. Then I realize I'm playing the nsb challenge in it right now! lol. I must have found it on the gallery at just the right moment. It's a great house.

I had a long skinny bathroom in my childhood home! It was really nice for when we had company over, and it's great in the Sims for when you have a strange bump-out (looking at you, DinoSimsie shell challenge) and don't know what to do with it.

First off just ordered a pink sensitive hoodie and super excited, Second got a build idea. Build a house but each room is in the layout of the objects by room tab.

Stanley just standing there is so funny to me

I've never seen long, skinny bathrooms irl - I've always just thought they were nice, space saving things for the sims xD

I love how you coordinate your outfits to you videos 😊

I had a long skinny bathroom in my last appartment. It was about 2x6 I would say. You came in on the skinny side on the left and all furniture was on the right along the wall in the following order: small washing maschine, small high shelf, bathtub, sink, toilet. Big window on the small back wall. I loved it. I could see out the window when I was in the tub.

LOVE this house simsie. you killed this, i love seeing you go out of your comfort zone when building!!!

This inspired me to make new crest a town where every lot is one solid color (every lot will be a different color) 🤗 beautiful house though!

I'm so exited for all your videos every day

I'm working on a similar build now for the mint/rose generations and enjoying it so much. Thanks for creating the not so berry challenge!

Idea for a legacy challenge: make a house for a generation thats a shell challenge

Please name one of the RU-vid legacy challenge babies Adora they would be adorable!

I was building a house the other day and wanted a wall off glass sliding doors. Absolutely love it! I clean new construction homes for a living and see so many new builds with walls of glass sliding doors or huge windows attached to sliding doors and can't make that happen on sims. I'm new to Sims 4 and building so I haven't figured it out anyway! So, seeing you do this makes me so 😊 I'm obsessed with watching your videos and just wanted say thanks for sharing 😍 😁

I love this build. Also I have seen long skinny bathrooms irl and I think it's not uncommon. Anyways great video. Lots of love for everybody ❤ Have a great day 💖💗

thank you for your content Simsie, it's a very stressful time for me right now and it really is a moment of calm whenever I watch one of your videos

Lilsimsie you really inspire me with how good you build and it makes me so happy that there are good houses out there that are basegame I always think that since my house is base game it’s really bad but when you build good houses with base game it makes me super happy

got excited thinking this video was kayla building the new house for the bell family 😭

Hi lilsimsie I live in the UK and I grew up in a house with a skinny bathroom, just small sink and a toilet downstairs then the full bathroom upstairs . Just segwaying for a moment, I eventually finished the plantsim challenge, it took forever for just one of my plants to evolve from magnificent to perfect quality even with practically constant care!!! I love your videos, thank you for all the help and information you give 😊

You are a comfort watch for me, thank youuuuuu❤️

I'm on the pink gen of not so berry right now and this is the most fun I've had in a challenge so far! thank you and your friend Zoey for creating it 😊

Love the full glass door it’s giving avant-garde!

Love you girlie, thanks for always being there to give us a new video everyday❤️😚

I actually really like the idea of a bunch of glass doors leading out into the patio/backyard. If you're entertaining a lot it could keep things from bottlenecking when food and people are going outside and/or trying to get back inside to clean up or get out of the rain. Or if you kept them all open it would sort of extend the entertaining space between the house and the patio.

Love this house so much!

tiny secondary bathrooms are super normal where im from. tho normally that means there is a super nice bathroom somewhere else.

7:39 YES. there’s one in my aunts house right at the front of the house. it’s the perfect size for just a toilet and sink for the guests to use.

When you realized that you forgot wallpaper in the bathroom, you went completely red! Oh! Challenge idea: Make a really boring, and tiny one-room house, don't add wallpaper, and then put a sim in with a snob trait. We shall see how long it can stand the torture!

I have a long skinny bathroom in my house too, and it's helpful because the space that bathroom would take up, if it were larger, is instead the laundry space, which is lovely.

My half bath at my house could easily have a full sized shower put into it…during our showing when we were buying it, we had 4 guys all over 6’ and fairly sturdily built, and my 5’0” self all standing in there talking about the features quite comfortably. That being said, I’ve definitely seen skinny half baths. In the UK they often do bathrooms under the stairs and it drives me a little crazy that it can’t be done nicely in the sims.

i watch lilsimsie everyday and appreciate every post honestly the only thing that keeps me sane

My red gen house is also a modern one! It's also giant for a small family and ridiculously expensive but I figured it fit my sim quite well. I had extra rooms that I've barely even used, I just stick the random skill-building items in them. I built a tiny house for my yellow gen who's gonna live alone for now and I'm quite excited to move to a new type of house at this point lmao, less clicking to shift between floors 💀

Okay.. but we just had our kitchen done and they actually started putting in the wrong floor tiles!! Not only that but they had half the wrong tiles and half the correct tiles. We went back to the store it was purchased from as the fault was from their end and they didn't have any more of the original tiles we ordered!! Luckily.. the floor tiles that were not the ones we ordered did fit in well! Also... after the kitchen fitters were finished, I drilled into the wall to put up a shelf and only drilled into a wire.. blew our electrics entirely and gave myself a bad electric shock!

I'm playing the NSB challenge right now and it's so much fun! I love playing with different parts of the game that I don't usually go for, and I'm becoming soooo invested in these sims! I play in the simsie save so your self sim kind of inserted themself into the founder's life 😀

just started and i appreciate the effort with matching ur shirt

I really love the kids room, it looks very realistic and versatile!

Wow, you did an awesome job on this build. It's nice to see you branching out of your comfort zone.

in some appartments in germany there have fairly skinny bathrooms with a sink by the entrance, a bathtub right next to it and then a toilet at the end of the room 🤔 I've seen those multiple times now. And I love the Not So Berry challenge! I'm currently on Gen 4 and the gray hair may be my favourite sim of all time 🥺He's this big muscly hunk who loves boxing but is also kinda baby-faced and spends as much time as he can with his 6 kids (I may have gone a little overboard with the kids sdhffh). I love him so much 🥺 I've realised over the years that I have more fun playing the sims when I'm following a story line, and your challenge is perfect for that!

SIMSIE!! More builds like this please!!

i have a long skinny half bath under my stairs and it was a huge selling point for me cause when we entertain our guests have a bathroom close to the door and don’t have to go upstairs

I would love a second part of the Not so berry challenge with new Goals and aspirations! 😍

your modern houses are so pretty !!!!

yessss more not so berry houses

Wow, reallly cool house! Reminds me of something I could see in the sims 3 in Sunsets Valley just upgraded!

When you posted the Not So Berry built two weeks ago I immediately started playing it.. I had lot of fun and it's the kind of gameplay I don't really do so I'm excited for the next generations to come!

I'm with you on this lol I have this little 2x1 bathroom at home mostly for visitors but sometimes i love using it and pretend i'm a giant idk

I also have a long skinny house and bathroom so I get it totally. Gonna grab this house turned out amazing xo ❤️

I find it so funny that simsie puts potted plants and books on the open shelves because I always put pots, jars and kitchen utensils when I do open shelving instead of cabinets

I'm playing not so berry and its soooo fun, it brought my interest back to sims😊

I'm really enjoying the NSB builds!

Love this so much

I absolutely love the layout of this house

Ayyyy, colored house

I already know this is going to be disastrous (obv in a good way)

I lived in a house with a powder room under the stairs. It was long and skinny and only fit a toilet and sink. But in order to stand in front of the sink the slanted part of the staircase was over the toilet. I often worried that any guest about 6' would have to be careful getting up from the toilet or else they might hit their head. But it was a great way of using every inch of space in a practical way.

In my childhood apartment we had this really skinny long bathroom, like it was very small but it was long. So I appreciate it when you put them in your builds, makes it more homey for me

IRL I have a 2x2 bathroom- shower/bath on back wall, toilet on right, sink on left- the door opens out. You can sit on the toilet and rest your arms/head on the sink. Great for those middle of the night half asleep but gotta pee moments.

This house looks so good, it really doesn't feel like a basegame house

I really love the nsb challenge. I started it myself a few years ago. And (I go through my Sims phases) I’ve been playing it off and on. I’m only just starting the yellow gen and it’s very fun. I enjoy playing the sims with goals and challenges and the ones in this challenge are very unique and fun

I'm playing a base game version of not so berry and it's totally doable and fun so I appreciate you doing the house base game for the people who want to play with it ❤

I don't even have a full size bathroom in my flat now, half size tub, no shower, really small sink and a toilet, all in a 3x3 space, it works its functional but definitely tight. I also know a lot of british houses with the 1x3 toilets usually used downstairs under the stairs.

I'm also playing the not so berry challenge right now. Just started gen 2. I have a house already, but this one looks soo good, kinda wish I had downloaded it. I guess I can use it later and change the color palette

kayla you are so cute🥺 i stay looking forward to your videos every day

simsie you look so pretty!!!!

I still have yet to try the Not So Berry Challenge but I think I might have to do that next, you've inspired me!

i love your story about your counters

i grew up with a long skinny bathroom in a town house as well! i actually really liked it because it felt like the skin/mirror area was separated from the shower area

It's funny, you're talking about what's available in the base game & my mind went back to base game for the Sims 2 & how that worked out great for me but then I remembered, only reason why it did is because I downloaded so much custom content. I bought the Sims 2 when it first released which was something I was so proud of at the time, I was born in September & held back a year so when the game released, I was 13 & all the kids in my grade level were 11 & 12 years old. My parents actually got me the first Sims game as a present for my 12th birthday since my friend who was pretty much the same age as me, we met before I was held back, had the Sims so I got to play it when I was 11 but it varies from parent to parent. Anyways, I bragged so much at school that I got to play the Sims 2, I was so mean back then, lots of kids were like "no fair, my parents won't let me play it!" Wow, I got way off track. Point is because I got it when it released, there were no expansions yet & this is coming off of my experience playing the first Sims game & in the first one I had Unleashed, Night Life, Vacations, Living Large, Making Magic, & I think more but I don't exactly remember, I do still have the cases somewhere in storage so I could probably check it out one day. It was going back to basics & I think since so much had changed like the babies actually grew up & you could do more to customize your sims & stuff, I was too distracted by the fact all there was was the base game. My friend however discovered that over on the Sims 2 website, people uploaded their own content that you could download & she showed off some builds she did with it & I was extremely jealous so she showed me how to do it & wow, I downloaded so many crazy things, I even got a social bunny costume for my sims. Once Pets was released, I did buy that but I didn't get any other expansions because I felt like I didn't need them. Currently, things have changed so dang much, I actually hardly touched 3 & 4, I bought both when they were brand new but I always found myself going back to the Sims 2 & had a hard time adjusting to the newer games. I want to get back into it since I had so much fun with the older games & seeing a build with just the base game makes me happy, like all the stuff you can get with the expansions & other stuff is super cool, I probably will purchase some of it, but like I also remember that I had a blast playing the Sims 2 without expansions, you can say I heavily cheated but at the time, there wasn't any to add on so what do you expect? Dang, if I still have all the discs from the Sims 1, I should probably see if I can actually download it onto a current computer & get so ticked with the game that I end up murdering babies again, the fact that they don't grow up makes you never want to have babies in that game I swear. I know my discs for the Sims 2 doesn't work, I tried installing them onto another computer years later, this was a different time so I wonder if stuff I did to the game back then ended up ruining it. I bought a copy from the same era as mine from Goodwill for $5 since mine wasn't working & that downloaded with no issue, I played it for a while again & when my former roommate & I parted ways, I let her keep it because it was $5 & I didn't mind parting ways with it, this was actually sometime after the 4th game released because our lease ended early 2015 & I got the 4th game as a birthday present back in September 2014 so I wasn't even playing 2 much at all anymore, I still went back to it because the 4th one was confusing for me but it's like, I have the new game so my roommate can have the old one.

In the Netherlands (where I am from) it is really normal two have a half bathroom downstairs and one full bathroom upstairs, for a family home. The half bathroom is like one by two sims tiles. For me it is really weird when you Americans put showers in the downstairs bathrooms.

I enjoy the coordination between your shirt and the build

I had never really seen a super long skinny bathroom before until my dad moved into a town house that has a bathroom with the exact size and layout as the one in this house. It's kind of under the stairs (not directly as it's a full room height) but it fits since the whole place is kind of long and skinny being a town house

I live in a bigish house and our first floor bathroom is laid out exactly like your long skinny one. I actually like the layout because there’s zero wasted space.

I like this build a lot, I find the kid's room to be super charming! But yeah, those long skinny bathrooms are pretty common where I live! The bathroom in my current house is like that and it's a FULL bath too, the toilet is practically sidled right up to the shower. If people really wanna be upset about bathrooms, my old townhouse's bathroom was UNDER the stairs lol (is that possible to do in the sims? I don't build much myself to know so I'd like to see someone try it)

Super video again kayla! Quick q! in one video could you explain how you put medium height doors and stuff on short walls? Like what cheat /mod you need to do that?

I adore this house :P!

I am actually playing right now and then you started yours so im enjoying watching yours while I play

I played the Not So Berry challenge last year. I had tried to do a legacy challenge a time or two and kept getting bored because my autistic self kept going for the same traits, aspirations, and jobs over and over, so I found the parameters extremely helpful. It took me from about ready to give up on the game period to being inspired to write a challenge myself in a similar style but differently themed. Now I'm working on a second one. 🙃

I love this build!!!!!!!!

I just finished not so berry in march! It was so much fun

My mother-in-law's house has a big entryway/mud room/laundry room that has a long skinny 1/2 bathroom attached to it. It's very handy if you need to pee real quick while unloading groceries or when you're leaving the house. I've 100% seen long skinny bathrooms.

I love your videos!

I'm on the Pink gen of not so berry. It's pretty fun. I did take some liberties and change the challenge a bit and I extended the extended version so I'm looking forward to many more gens. Very fun challenge.

Me, having an uncomfortable small bathroom, where I hit my limbs against one wall, or the toilet, whenever I turn around: This half bathroom looks spacious.
