Modern vs Retro Build Challenge in The Sims 4 

which side did you prefer? 🤔

once you start watching syd, no other sims builder compares

HOW are you still not an EA Gamechanger?

every room a different country. would be cool to attempt that in the sims

getting home from a tiring school day and watching syd build is everything i need

Girly, you are THE best decorator! I love your placements of things and you are so good at every theme! You rocked both sides!

Pétition to make Syd a game changer 👇

I love the vs challenges. Really shows how good both styles can look 🤎💫

I grew up in the 70's. Your retro build reminded me of the house I grew up in. The only thing missing was floor to ceiling mirrors in the living room. It was garish, but in a good way.

Such a fun concept! My theory is that the modern side is a young house designer’s first place to themselves and the retro an older Sim who lived alone. They dislike each other because the younger sim works from home and has friends over and also criticizes the older sim for being stuck in the past. However, the younger sim learns that all of the older sim’s family has passed away and keeping their house old fashioned is how they keep their memories of them since they have begun to develop amnesia. I felt so inspired watching you build this house!! Much love ❤️

I’m torn between the two. I grew up in the 70’s so the retro side brings back happy memories and I’m living the modern with a home office.

70s all the way! So much more character and fun. Great video, as always ❤❤

you deserve so much more recognition you are such a good builder!!

I'm waiting for my favourite style fusion: "Industrial Boho" !

ugh i’m SO obsessed with 70s style homes and you captured the vibe so perfectly!!! so cute and cozy, i want to live there

Yay, a lunch break with Syd! I love the shapes and homey feel of the 70s rooms and the modern side seems so calm and clean. I can't choose! 😩💕

70s builds are always my favourite

enemies to lovers but the decor choice version lol! I can't decide which side I like more, they're both so good!

Love that all your videos are very different to each other.. awesome content❤

Super cute omg I love both sides as always 😍😍😍💜💜💜💜✨✨✨✨

I can see myself living in both the retro and modern sides of the house. Both have their advantages. Modern has the pool and outdoor living space that I absolutely love, including the little outdoor kitchen area, perfect for having bbq’s during the summer. Modern also has an awesome office that would be perfect for getting work done or playing some games. The modern bathroom is amazing and I definitely would love that tub in real life too, lol. However I can see myself using the retro side for just about everything else, watching tv in the sunken living room, listening to music by the record player, that kitchen and dining room would be perfect for cooking and eating in. The retro side bedroom would be my go to for sleeping as well. Overall I’m split, but Team Retro definitely wins! Also you’re a really talented builder. I enjoy every build you make. EA really should consider making you an EA Game changer.

As someone obsessed with the 70s aesthetics and music I WOULD LOVE to live in that house! You nailed that retro 70s vibe in thr build, love it!

So much inspo!! I like making retro homes but you’ve shown me a whole new world🤌🏼

I am more a 70s kind of girl, I love al the patterns, wood tones and style!! Loved the video

My alternate interpretation of this is that the modern side belongs to a young designer and the retro side belongs to their grandpa. The designer moved in to care for the grandpa and his wife has passed. He tries to get him to renovate, at least to move past grief but grandpa keeps it retro to remind him of his wife

I’d love to see you do a build that mashes up two different decades!! (Maybe every time home is a different era mashup)?

and here i am wishing i had all of the sims packs yet again

The vintage side is so cramped and brown I love it 😩🩷

I never make RU-vid comments but instead of a feud it would be so cute if it was like a family home where the parents decided to give half of the house to their child to start their own family so one side got remodeled to the style of the child where the parents kept their side homey and how it was when they first got the house or built it. Just my thoughts! Such a great build! I personally prefer the 70s style.

I like love to see Syd build more unisex rooms/house like this one I can see anyone living there

The outsides match together so well even though there different styles! 😍

wow amazing, the 70s living room reminds me of my grandparents home in etobicoke

Omg I like the retro so much! Missedt this kind of build challenge

I really thought the modern side would be my favourite but wow that retro side is STUNNING!!

Getting home from a long office day and watching your builds really mades my day! I love playing sim but it was becoming really difficult with my current schedule. I’m so glad I find you. You are a sure blessing to my sims cravings. You deserve all the love 💕

would love to see a version of the retro home by itself, love mid century modern homes

I love your historic and retro builds!

You don't understand how much I needed this today. Has been a rough day and this just made my day so much better. Thanks!

amazing as always!

The retro is just *chefs kiss*

something about this channel is so fucking addicting

I was little worry you was going forget Lava Lamp😮Such a Great Job👍👍👍, I have lived through this Era and you hit it on the nail with all the 70's stuff, I Absolutely love it 😊😊😊 all through I love modern style now😊

I would like to think that the modern part of the house was built as an extension of the retro house, but then they got separated into two separate houses so that the landlord could rake more money in from whoever lives there

Loving your look in this vid!

Your modern builds are amazing!

Your building style is amazing the way everything flows together 👌❤

syd ! how about a dorm house for a band or a pop group ? I have been trying to build one but I think id love to see your take on it ! it could even have practice rooms, room for managers etc. you could also do a comparison of a starter dorm vs when they finally get famous and can afford a more upscale dorm house ! btw loved this one

The retro one is amazing!! 😍

The basement kit really would have come in handy here lol especially the tv

I'd love to see the Pinterest boards of these builds, the vibes are immaculate ✨

Love both! But retro is my favorite 😍 I love the colors and how it all came together

Get famous coming out strong on retro build! Actually really surprised how retro the build items are!

Great video! Retro is stunning

I love how the modern side is kinda black and white eighties, with the memphis style and all the plants

loved the retro, you have great taste! xx

I love the "duplex" idea since I live in one. It is a house from 1960's hence this is so fun to watch. Even though in my country (Honduras 🇭🇳) the houses styles are very different from North America. I so enjoy your videos, Syd! ❤

Ahhh you’re getting so close to 200k already!! I’m so happy for you 😍💖

The retro was literally magic, so so perfect 😂❤️

Syd you should do every room is a different ice cream flavor! For example, mint chip could be brown and green, strawberry could be pink/red, etc! ❤️❤️

i adore ur builds, you're so creative its incredible

ur builds are literal magic 🫶🏾!!

Both sides were great but I really loved the retro side best ❤

Love when you do retro styles

so good i wanna see u making “modern sim vs retro sim” for this house /pos

Syd you never fail us! I luv u

I don’t know if it’s just me but I always make up a story behind any Syd build 🤭 It just feels right

I can smell the oldest house 😂 the modern is pretty, but idk, the old style feels like a home

i love the modern look

i love ur vidd they're inspiring for me. 💖

U need more recognition omg

i love your building skills ❤

Love your shirt, the build! Team retro! your hair, love it all 🥳

personally ur my fav builder and sims youtuber, ur so insanely talented and underrated

Hello Early gang! Syd I just wanted to say I LOVE watching your build videos! You make everything so nice looking and you're super creative, you're a great inspiration specially for me as a beginner in the sims, so thank you for all your wonderful builds, you're amazing!!

Your modern is so much better than the modern homes I see on TikTok. There’s always so much beige

i NEED another let’s play. idk what but your honestly so creative so i have no doubts.

Love this... what you call retro is in architectural terms called "Modern" which is a bit ironic =) and extra funny being you compared it to the modern look, which is actually called "Contemporary" in those same architectural terms =) (BTW, I adore putting sunken living areas in my builds, so fun!!!!)

you are better than most of the sims builders around the world.

10000% This one was made for the new For Rent pack. It would be perfect for a neighborly feud 😂❤Love it!!

You should do like a duplex style house and take your inspiration from the movie Gnomeo and Juliet. It’s like the blue vs red side.

definitely prefer the retro! i've never really been a fan of modern interiors tbh

I love your videos so much ! Could you do more create a sim content ? Maybe a decade challenge (each sim is a decade), or another glow up challenge with secret sim from the gallery like you already did ?

i think this is a great opportunity for enemies to lovers scenario

You could try making the house layout that was on the corkboard.

i hope this will be on the gallery i think it would be great to play in and extend the storyline.

every room is a different barbie movie for example 12 dancing princess for a dining room and so on i think that would be so cool x

I recently built a home for me and my sister where one side was a mountain cabin (my side, so obviously my favorite side here is the 70s) and the other was a modern ranch style home! It's seriously fun to mix the two and make such wildly different styles right next to each other. Also it's no wonder these two house owners hate each other - ones an interior designer whose probably constantly badgering the 70s house about at least painting the walls or something! and that 70s house living room walls right up to the modern home's office lol

Team retro! So fun!

video idea!! Each house is a different element. Water, air, fire, earth

Yaay new video! 🥰

I honestly can't say I'm surprised. I'm just overloaded with Joy💕

syd's fav word this vid is like loll i cant complain tho i use like alot too

Both houses was really nice! But I think I prefer the retro one. And I would love to see a video where each tiny home is a different pack. (: If you have done a video like that before. ❤

The retro side 😍😍 70s all the way ✌🏼☮️

You should make like 2 houses on the same lot but they're connected houses so a hallway that connects the houses. Just an Idea btw :)

i keep coming back to this video because i wanna live in the 70's house XD

my insomnia, australian timezone and obsession with youtube gives me the privlige of always being early to syds uploads

I would love to see a bloomcrest style challenge where you start on the smallest lot with a 2010s/2020s tiny house then move up a lot and back a decade until you’re making vintage mansions.

I love it, but I think the seventies' house would look more genuine without the window in the roof. Embrace the heaviness!

Video idea! On the mood board u used in the office there was a floor plan. Maybe you could try to recreate in for a video. Just a thought
