is it even possible to fix this sims apartment...? 

exactly 😭

And fix the landing areas and the giant walls.

you're talking about the one with the balcony, right?

Yes! I was secrety hoping for them to add/move the tlc trait as a lot challenge with the CoL update

There used to be a mod for that but I think it's not supported anymore

Blarffy is amazing. I put him in all of my kid rooms.

I've been scared by less. Anything roughly human shaped or sized in a dark room, like a pile of laundry, spooks me for some reason

@@limiv5272 I hanged my jacket with the cap above it once, and later on, the shadow it made scared me for life xD

Blarffy. Aka Sleep Paralysis Bear🤧

I really think she didnt give herself enough of a budget, i mean, the high walls, the size of the apartment, the furniture costs ... 18k is too little tbh

Omg yes!

She needs*

Yes! I know she was trying to prove a point in this video Bc it makes sense, but I kept thinking “just increase your budget it’s the sims!!” 😂

Yes please!

didnt she make one before? i might remember wrong

yk same

Honestly same

Same, I tried to furnish it once and began to cry because it was making me so stressed akskdkdkdkd

Same I became stressed

Literally 💀. Like whenever I start removing the furniture and see how big it is I just opt out

that’s always ea’s mindset 😭

Always.

the bigger the better

"The embiggening will continue until you appreciate the embiggening"

@@CorduroyCordoba I’m biggering my company, I’m biggering my factor, and I’m biggering my corporate sign 🎶

omg how is that so true

@@DragonbornCanid lol I know right, EA did kind of a bad job here

honestly, blowing this building up would make it somehow look better

@@valeriag2842 yeah, i kinda feel as though it would work better as sort of loft type apartment??

@@DragonbornCanid yeah maybe that would split the spaces a bit, like filling a part with platforms and forgetting about it lol

Yeah, even the most expensive apartments dont have ceilings THAT high

Imagine the heating and cooling bills irl with ceilings that high.

Shit not even cathedrals have walls that high 😭

and the very odd colour choices

Their whole purpose was wanting to use those massive windows, and nothing else mattered.

But in sims 3 only one apartment in each building was playable, the rest were just wormholes. To me sims 4 was a big improvement when it came to apartments, I always thought it was so annoying that I couldn’t visit my neighbours in sims 3. It was nice to be able to build new apartments from scratch though, we had so much more power in change world when it was an open world.

@@Cllocopine Then The Sims 2 is the game to be inspired by. You could build the whole apartment building (or trailer park, or cul-de-sac, or whatever you want to rent), you could customize it however you want, you could play up to 4 families in one apartment building (and if you haven't moved in anyone it would spawn neighbors), you could visit your neighbors. It's all been done already back in 2008 in The Sims 2 Apartment Life, without the limitations Sims 3 and 4 had.

@@PotatoAsh Sounds like it should've been possible in Sims 4 if in theory it's closed-world (ignore the semi-open neighborhoods for a moment) and they eventually added the roommates system (even if that's kind of meh compared to what Sims 2 presumably had.) I get that the devs were trying to make 4 more accessible but we're like 30 packs in and major gaming computers are already randomly lagging with everything installed. I think the Sims 4 just has terrible optimization and they scrambled everywhere they could to plug the holes to no avail.

Loved apartments in The Sims 2. Sometimes I made duplexes so siblings could live next to each other. One time, I put all of one sims mistresses in one apartment complex, so his kids would grow up together, but it separate households.

YES I want a tiny 20x20 studio but also a massive 5 bedroom penthouse

i like these apartments in the right context! but its killer to work on honestly, i made a cool immortal lady and gave her this apartment because i figured she would of been there for years and years. but when i tried to decorate it? it was Hell, it takes so long to decorate and the layout in general is AWFUL. how the walls are cut along with the hight means any time you play on it you have to do either no walls or only the outdoor walls. but yeah its NOT good as a starter lol

I agree, but I do wish there was more smaller apartments...only like 6 ones are small or normal sized and the rest are super large

I liked renovating it. I didn't have any issues doing it, but then I prefer to build larger houses because I always run out of space to put things in smaller spaces because the objects in the game are just so oversized. It was nice being able to build somewhere where you don't have to size down the bedside tables to make them look normal sized within a room. I didn't really make it all that luxurious, and using custom content helped keep the cost lower so I was able to make the whole thing still work out as a starter home price. Sometimes I think the only reason Kayla prefers smaller builds is because she doesn't actually have the imagination to place a sensible amount of clutter/objects. Its like she's stuck using mostly the base game and only one or two other packs even though she has access to them all. She could have had a small gym/yoga area, or an office and that would have taken up space.

Love that idea! :D

I use this apartment for a 3 person family, one of the mums is an actress so theres a big corner space for skill building (piano, violin, guitar, microphone) and then the other mum is a graphic designer so shes got an office with an easel, painting clutter and a large desk space, then the kid has a big room with loads of toys and a large desk, and the kitchen has both a bar and 6 seat dining table and theres a spacious living room too, so it's about 4 rooms with two bathrooms

but at least it looks good lol

dream home decorator would like a word 😭

@@adelesamson5126 😄😄

yeah that’s what i always want it to be when i watch a video like this

One of them is broken

@@delobster7711 you mean the balcony?

The balcony is inaccessible because the building itself changes with the modern development plan you vote on which is the aim of the pack.

@@demidalle-molle9258 Yeah, was about to say the same if they meant that the balcony was broken :) it’s for sure unfortunate but it’s understandable why!

@@jaqsre I don't think it's understandable, that's like saying if would've been okay for part of the community lot to be unusable just because voting changes the building. It's just EA being lazy again

That is what I was thinking! She could have made the main level of the apartment on a taller platform and had a staircase that led to the front door. This would have fixed the problem of the tall wall height

Windows too low

Yeah! I ended up doing that with this apartment, because I didn't like the wall height and it worked quite well.

@@reneelefebvre2612 and also filled some of the space with unneccesary stairs

@@nell-mariikappa5387 I'd be willing to live with the windows touching the floor, it would still be an improvement in this case

Hey nice name

I'm with you, I actually love that the apartment is huge and love all of the open space. I always move my sims in this apartment.

Walls are VERY expensive in the sims.

I don't know if they are this tall though, this wall height in sims makes most furniture look ridiculously tiny

@@mrmr4622 oh walls are massive here. And i definitely feel like these were the designers intention when putting this apartment together, very much like condos and lofts here in the city

@@mrmr4622 I used to live in an old flat in London and Vienna and the walls were insanely high in both. It’s really nice.

Me too, I especially love them on the bottom floor in a two floor apartments!!!

I lived in an old house in Hamburg with these high walls and it was beautiful, but in real life you always see everything from eye level, not from a birds perspective like in the sims

yeah lol

My besties are all in my uni's rugby club and last week, their club hw was to learn the berries and cream little lad dance. That was my introduction to berries and cream. And now it's everywhere. It occupies my thoughts 24/7. Help.

When I was little mummy made me do the little lad dance *now mummys gone*

berries and cream tiktok follows me everywhere i stg

What are you talking about

I love this one and the cute cheap on with the chalk outline under the rug? You know the one. And I actually just made this one to fit a 5 person family with a cat and I'm really proud of itt it looks so cute

i wish i had my old sims save game with this apartment i loved it so much, i would spend hours in this lot

I like her renovation, it has personality to it and the colourful decorating makes it feel warmer than the original.

@Freja Lindberg I meant raise all floors besides some space in front of the front door so they are all the same hight throughout the apartment. Ive seen a lot of cheaper apartments in real life that have a step up at the front door

HELL YEAH

Haunts?

@@Overused_Toothbrush thanks for correcting didn't realise it while writing

The coffee table shape too, like why does it look like that??

@@seratoninme1470 np

well i dunno where you got that bc for me most apartments that are "starter apartments," are really small and cramped

@@whos_rei I don't agree with the prices of the game, but I like the fact that there are different sizes.

@@whos_rei in college a lot of my friends had four bedroom four bathroom apartments where they just shared kitchen and living room. they were really big and priced reasonably but made for 4 adults not a family or single person

I think it really depends on where you are like in a big city like San myshuno you would see a lot more smaller Apartments and some higher-end apartments which would be like one or two bedrooms but if you live in a small town like I do then you'd see bigger Apartments

I live in a tiny flat(British for apartment), and like all other flats I've been in are also tiny, so the big ones in the Sims to me is not realistic at all. But it's interesting to see that someone thinks the other way I do!

@Freja Lindberg I actually liked that apartment. The window placement and not getting to move them sucks, but its really easy to creating a pleasing floor plan even with that. I used it as a starter apartment for my sim and just got roommates to fill the other rooms so it made sense having an open plan living space (enough space for everyone to communally use). Though I did use custom content because the ea stuff is way overpriced.

What do I want? The Sims Two with better graphics and more skin tones, but with the same gentics, because I want genetics to matter and I want a surprise blond kid, because his great-grandfather was blond and a surprise redhead because her grandmother was a redhead, but their parents (these two are siblings) are both black haired, because their other grandparents were black haired (well, one’s brown haired, but his dad’s where the blond genetics came from). This is what I want for the The Sims 5.

I mean it makes sense, you can't move doors and windows around in a real apartment too

@@mrmr4622 yeah, but it's the sims. I should be able to do that with a cheat, at least.

Wait omg yes that would help us

@@14skoppy I NEED IT 😃

What exactly do you mean by that tho?

@@mrmr4622 When you get bored while playing and you need more ideas on what to do

Yeah, she's got this idea stuck in her head that she can only use the base game plus a couple of packs because she's thinking she's building for people who will download the houses from the gallery and doesn't want people to not be able to have it because they're missing packs, but most people just want to watch her build and decorate (I see so many comments from people saying she should build with no budget/pack restrictions more). When she does actually give herself free reign she creates really interesting things. When she doesn't its just the exact same grey suburban (I'm sorry, but the colour of the panelling she uses is way too washed out to count as blue, its grey).

I have the reverse issue. Most of the sims stuff is too small, except for the furniture which is too large (like the bedside tables are massive compared to the beds). I tend to like to make bathrooms a minimum of 3x4. I just don't like playing the game in such tiny spaces its hard to see what's going on.

i would if i could even HAVE apartments

@@14skoppy :(

Good for you mate

nice

First, and so far only serious playing done, lot I have played in and other than occasionally having only one bathroom for seven sims being a problem (and the fact that this family cannot make ends meet), it’s gone pretty well.
