Is Dream Home Decorator fixed yet...? 

Client: I hate midcentury Kayla: Builds a midcentury living room Also Kayla: But why don’t they like this?

Ok I’ve been playing with this career a ton, so here’s what I’ve learned: 1. if you only get dislikes, you can suggest a different color or décor style until they give you something they like 2. You can’t pick a new gig while at work, it glitches when you get home 3. If a customer really likes your work they’ll ask you back, so you can slowly renovate their whole house 4. You can send sims to a gig alone, and they will still make money 5. If a customer really likes your work you can get paid double

Ohhhh a premade save for playing as a decorator would be so good. Like give the premade sims likes and dislikes that actually make sense. Bella Goth does NOT dislike the color red thank you very much

I asked my non-sims playing partner if she knows any sims and she replied Bella Goth, Freddy Goth (?) and the Hotdog

You should've tested the room addition and floor addition renovations because they were the ones that straight up did not work. Supposedly they fixed the room addition ones in the most recent patch (over a year late) but I have my doubts !

FYI, be careful when sorting by style, because some furniture is tagged for two styles. A Sim might dislike one and like the other, but a piece of furniture count for both.

I ask them their favorite color and taste in decor from the Friendly menu. It makes things slightly easier. I do wish DHD just told us what the color/decor limits were and we figure out what to do from there. EDIT: if you select a gig while still on the lot, it'll disappear when you go home. Very annoying bug

I found the dhd works a lot better using a "fresh" save file where all NPCs have reasonable likes and dislikes -- I downloaded a save file from someone on Tumblr who had gone thru all townies likes and dislikes and it worked soooo much better than my regular legacy save

It's easier if you ask them what their favorite color or hobbies are in the friendly menu, and combine that with what the game gives you from the pack alone to ask the clients. And something I learned playing, you don't need to get decoration/furniture that the Sim likes only, you can mix it up as long as you don't put a decoration style that the Sim doesn't like

I don't exactly remember all the options, but I remember figuring out that asking them what they like was never the way to go. Maybe it was suggesting things or trying to change their mind after they suggest something? I wish I could remember because really the only problems I had with the pack were the room or floor additions to homes and apartments.

I’m waiting part 2: room and floor additions. That’s where the real bugs live 🐞

I once did a legacy where I focused on the active careers. One of them did the dream home decorator career, and legit: it was all well until I got jobs to make floor additions and it refused to delete pre-existing roof to make room for a new floor, could not add stairs since it affected an area that I "wasnt allowed to" and just was a hot mess.

This pack is my villain origin story man, like this was the pack that made me start pirating The Sims 4. I loved the career SO much and was playing all day every day up until I suddenly got an apartment gig where I couldn't do ANYTHING. Couldn't place furniture, move it, touch the walls, nothing was working , I was so upset I abandoned the save and never played with the career again. Jesus fucking Christ

I slowly renovated their whole house but they all liked what the others hated. Depending on who I talked to they liked and the house ended with a pink and brick living room, burnt orange kitchen, black and red bathroom and a purple and a green bedroom with sports theme 🤣

I will always love this pack! Despite the bugs it's wonderful

Regarding your point at the end about having to babysit the sim with this career, you can send the sim alone for that career too!! You just pick work hard if you want them to get promoted and stuff, like you normally would!

I had so much fun watching this, I love how the Pancake's picked something that seemed so strange for their bathroom, but the theme ended up being awesome in the end. Also I love how no one comments on Stanley showing up in his hotdog costume, like that didn't raise a red flag for you that your decorator is a hotdog?? Thanks for the giggles after a very long day!

maybe blue can become an interior decorator and make everyone houses..... blue

I love the dream home decorater furniture, but the career is a bit disapponting for me… love your video’s by the way!

my biggest dream home decorator horror story is taking on an add a level job and getting one of the mansions in the get famous world. it.... had four floors. because of a weird architectural piece. i physically could not put a new level in. why was it even an option for tha kind of job :sob:

I like it, I've played the active career a bit, but I don't always because it's quite a bit of work. if you don't play active and let your Sim just go alone, you can advance really quickly and earn a lot of money, but the problem is that the jobs literally last 9-9! which is very very long in a sim day

Bob & Eliza: we don’t like brown Literally whole house is already brown 😂

tbh the appeal of the home decorator career, for me, is that the game *still* has that bug (?) where you can just put whatever you want from the client's home into your household inventory. One gig glitched such that I couldn't get *any* preferences from the clients- not even useless ones- so I just did the most basic reno possible, switched their expensive items for cheap ones, and spent their remaining budget buying whatever I wanted. The successful gig would've paid $800, but I walked away with $30,000. Best career in the game lol

Would love to see you do a series with your designer sim! And/or a Realm of Magic play through - maybe you could combine them? A couple where one wife is a designer and the other is a Spellcaster?

i really hope the bugs are fixed now, the first and only time i tried to play it, it bugged out and wouldnt let me leave the house or finish the job and that poor sim is just stuck in that persons house forever now.

I mean, bugs aside, one of the things I like about DHD is that I can go around and get paid to fix the iffy EA builds lol.

Dream home decorator, speaks to my Interior Decorator dreams (irl). It’s probably my favourite for build items

i had a lot of gigs where i did it exactly how they asked and they hated it anyway. i think what helps is asking everyone in the household their favorite color and decor and just writing it down somewhere else.

I renovated a gym once, accidentally deleted the main room but when I undid it charged me all the money to replace everything, it was like 50k simoleons over budget before I changed a damn thing.

Avoid gardening stuff... It's an apartment. There is no place for gardening stuff. Like dancing ? Add a dance floor and sound system. In the bathroom ? Why not ? I want EA to fix the gardening bug. I'm sick of having my plants reverting to just planted for no reason. That bug have gotten WORST after the last update😭😤🤬 The better the quality of the plants, the more likely they are to revert. Forgot to harvest ? Chances of reverting increase. Travel to anywhere ? Plants will probably revert. Change the clothing of your Sims in CaS ? Get ready for your plants to revert. Resume playing ? Check your plants, they may have reverted. Lot have the good soil trait ? = Increased chances of reverting.

I will always love this pack's build stuff, im a huge fan for smooth modern and mid-century!

I’ve been playing with the pack since the update too and I noticed that if you select a gig and then travel home it’ll make the gig go away. Not sure if this is when you travel in general but definitely annoying if you think you got one scheduled for the next day and it never was :(

I've been playing dream home decorator for hours after getting it last month. Playing while watching your channel and now playing while you retry dream home decorator ☺️

I hope your real life Dream Home decorating has ZERO GLITCHES!

The interior decorator pack is literally my fav pack and I love playing it all the time and sometimes I just get so annoyed when u can’t add the rooms for the room addition thingy and all the bugs it’s just sometimes annoying, but still in love with the pack x

I've had the same problem with the gig disappearing and I think it was because I picked it when my sim was still at the 'old' finished gig. When I sent my sim home and then picked a gig it stayed, but if the sim was still at the previous location it always disappeared.

I’ve come to the realization that Kayla is a chaotic sims player and she loves it.

I always play with a klepto in case I don't get paid and the Sim doesn't like it. They steal something before they start.

Please more of this!! I love watching a good ol simsie Reno!!

I've always gotten super lucky I don't get any bad bugs in my game. Dream home decorator became my favorite back so quickly!

these videos are so fun!

Ive had that same glitch since the patch - if you accept a new gig before you leave the old one, you lose it when you return home.

I've had a similar problem to yours: if I book another gig while at the lot where I did the previous gig, the new one will disappear as soon as I get back to my own lot

You can suggest a style to the sims, talk to other members of the household and get them to give you a different like/dislike but the system isn't set up very well

You can continue to ask them for more information which will override the three listed. All their information will still show up in the notification wall for reference though since ALL their likes and dislikes are taken into account, not just the three listed.

You should rebuild the pancakes house using that bathroom as inspiration. I would love to see the whole house have that same type of design

Building is my favorite thing in the game and I struggle with game play so I love this career 🥰

I was excited when I got the pack, however EVERY time I did a gig they never liked any of them no matter how hard I tried. I just stopped trying with the job, which made the pack essentially just a stuff pack. With the new update I might try the carrier again and hopefully it’s successful. I love the idea of going to renovate the houses of pre-made townies or other sims I don’t play outside of my own household. It keeps the world fresh.

The fact the pancakes hate brown, but most of their house is brown is on point for character 💀

I love watching ur videos they are just so entertaining

I actually used this as one of my sims career in my gameplay and it worked great for me! it was fun definitely a good way to make loads of money quickly in my opinion. there are a few bugs here and there but it doesn't make it unplayable :)

I bought Dream Home Decorator yesterday, but only for the items. When I realised that I had mini ovens. and worktop stoves... I was so happy... I wish it had more than one wardrobe, more showers, and more toilets.

i played with this career like two months ago. it was okay, but i only did room/level renovations, no additions (i knew they were broken). i also noticed that my game was more laggy because of the amount of photos you have to take. thats why my sims eventually quit this carrer

I get it Bob, I do all my dancing in my bathroom... in which there is absolutely NO space but I make it work (yes, that includes some bruising)💯

I'm done giving EA my money honestly. This pack that I was so excited for is so bugged it's unplayable, as is the wedding pack, the detective career, Sims can't function if there's toddlers OR pets on the lot, it's embarrassing that I've wasted so much money on it. I want to support the creators and the game that I love but from now on it's just mods and CC for me :(

This is my favorite game pack because it forces me to create rooms i normally would NEVER create, and like Kayla said it opens up so many chaotic possibilities! Once I had the Goths as a client for a kitchen reno and they said they hate cooking, like gardening, and love the color orange. So I did an orange kitchen with no stove or oven, put plant boxes wherever I could, and make the whole room orange and they LOVED it. Did the room look insane? Yes, but it was so much fun

When i played dream home decorator for the first time, it would skip the showings which made the sims really angry and they would send my poor sim mean letters in the mail about it :(

that was fun to watch! id like to see u playing this careers more!

You can select “suggest different decor style/color” to change their likes and dislikes!

I love this pack! Can you do a series of this?

The mention of Realm of Magic at the end makes me a want a supernatural themed legacy/not so berry challenge 🔮

It's funny how the pancakes dislike brown but their entire house is brown

I tried to do the interior design career, and my game glitches super hard and wouldn't let me take a second gig.

So funny that I almost bought it yesterday but decided to wait and now you post this

At my apartment they do yard work (lawn mowing, leaf blowing, loud things) like 3 times a week it seems.

New series combined with Kayla's love (building) I'm into it ♥️

yesss a realm of magic series would be so nice and in theme with halloween

Dang it simsie now I want the pack even more!

i really want to buy High School years but some ppl still say it’s not fixed :((( also unpopular opinion: i bought dream home decorator for the furniture 😂

I have a little speaker in my bathroom for that reason lol to listen to music while I’m showering ♥️

I always like to go with them to work and school. I really have fun in all the working jobs and school and university and the pet clinic 😊😊😊

I've actually been playing realm of magic a lot lately myself. It's such a fun pack, would love to see a more recent video on it.

My work-around for likes/dislikes was always asking the clients "What is your favorite Color" or "What is your favorite Decor", etc. since those questions still show up in the conversation wheel. They preferences show up in the notifications so I don't have to remember them.

OMGGGG!! Yess I love Realm of Magic im excited to see you play!

My gigs haven’t been ending.. the reveal party just doesn’t ever end. I can’t even tell if I’m getting paid lol

Can’t wait for your Dreamlight Valley review!

I miss when you could hang up art your own sim painted in the houses the would renovate

OH! Please do one like this with the wedding pack!

Love watching your builds but this would be the bathroom of my nightmares in real life lol. Toilet facing directly into the hallway and largest windows on the front of the house 😭🤣. I've never tried actually using this pack though and it seems like it would be fun.

That red color looks great on you!

thinking about one of my gigs for kitchen where the owner hated cooking

I’ve had lots of fun with Dream Home Decorator for the past few months.

Honestly, I've been having fun with this pack despite the fact that it's kinda buggy and the clients don't give you anything useful to work with, it's just beautiful chaos.

i'm currently watching two of simsies videos! a vod and now this one lol!

i have one save where im basically just very slowly redecorating the world through the decorator carreer. i agree its not for your save where you want to do basically anything else.

2:32 I HAD THIS PROBLEM TOO I WAS SO MAD

Please do more videos with this pack. I love this it’s so funny.

Please do a series of this with Stanley (or sim you). I love seeing what you come up with for each gig based on the clients requests

My second gig with this pack, had someone love writing but hate video games. Both included only desks and computers I think do I could do anything

How do I get the yard sale table for cottage living? Is it in debug? I only have that pack. But want to sell my jams

i ususally ask more questions after the three options for the career are filled... I just use friendly to ask favorite color and taste in decor and use that as well.. It works!

I really love this pack and the build/buy but I hate when they don’t give you theme/ colors they like, and I feel like the budgets we are given most of the time are veryyyy unrealistic sometimes I have trouble finding how to spend the whole budget especially if it’s a bathroom Reno etc it can be hard to spend 8k in a tiny bathroom. But you do make a lot of money compared to other careers

in the end, when you were talking about not wanting to go with them, I believe there was an option to send alone (1:15)

Actually that would be great if Kayla played with this career in her legacy challenge. That way, she could slowly renovate the whole world 😀 And if not feeling like renovating you can always send the sim alone

Can we appreciate how she posts every single day?

Watching your videos make me so much happier especially with the area of life I’m in right now (by that i mean im losing all my friends

You should've tried the add room gig, supposedly the Sims team fixed it

WOW IM 2MINUTES EARLY. Happy to be here! I just bought this back a week ago due to your review, I am happy I don’t really depend on the job gameplay aspect cause it sounds buggy but I’m sad others couldn’t enjoy it. It made my building process SO MUCH EASIER. Happy to watch!

I do think that this is one of my favorite packs for this game. It might not offer much but it offers more creativity.

I loved this game pack - I searched for all of you to watch you play it..... I was sad when all of the youtubers stopped playing as it was so buggy... but it is the sims and what else is new? Thank for revisiting it!
