simsie I'm trying to order a case with your code but its not working...can't go past the information page update: just had to wait a few hours and it worked! 🙃

I'd like to see Kayla try to recreate an irl European house for once - not a British one though, there are plenty of those out there. An older Eastern European apartment or like a modern German suburban or a French cottage. The floorplans and styles are totally different from the U.S. and a challenge to recreate in the Sims bc the build catalogue is SO America-centric. (no one will ever make me use those weird plastic horizontal boards for the outside, for example)

I lived in a house that used to have two garages, and the landlord had one remodeled into an extra room before we moved in, which I used as my bedroom. It had a sliding glass door where the garage door used to be. It was actually a really nice room, other than having no heating or air conditioning, but with a space heater the room was fine.

I do this too when recreating floorplans! I always do like 2 bedrooms and a shared bathroom

For scale help, I've found that 1 tile is 2.5 sqft. It took a lot of messing around and looking up what people online were saying. So many people were either saying 2 sqft or 3 sqft so I thought "why not 2.5?" and it works! Divide every measurement you see and round to the nearest whole number. Some plans don't have measurements everywhere so what I do is find something divides evenly into 2.5 and put a grid overlay evenly so that the the grid represents the number of tiles. This is also how I double check everything. EDIT: For non-imperial users this is about 0.75 square meters (meters^2 is the same thing if you see that on floor plans). 0.762 is more accurate, but working with numbers that fit neater into measurements is better in my opinion. Just pick whatever works best for you!

That makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider a standard range is 30", I think 18cu ft refrigerators are 28-30" also. Arm chairs, same or a little larger. Width of a twin mattress is a bit wider, but we all know the game lacks in bed sizes, understandably. Single beds in this game are unrealistically narrow.

It feels a bit weird to give advice on a sims video, but when I've tried to recreate real life floor plans in the past, I've found it easier if you start with the kitchen. Most of the time the floor plan has the kitchen counters included, and in the sims every counter is one tile so that gives you the scale. It's not foolproof, but I think it helps

I love adding garages because they are really useful in the sims. You can put a bunch of decor and clutter in them, while also having a bunch of activities that would otherwise not be able to fit inside the house. I like attached garages best because it allows you to also place a backyard door giving your sims access to the backyard if you don't like the look of adding a big porch or something to the back of your build. They are really handy while making builds look more realistic, so that to me is the perfect combonation. Also, a cool thing I like to do is make little sheds for extra storage

Yes. I found the differences from the floor plan as drawn really confusing and thought I was seeing it wrong.

I always laugh when I see Sims builders putting in bathrooms. I've had it drilled into my head that you never put a bathroom which opens into a kitchen. It's called a "functional obsolescence". But it also gives me a bit of the creeps because bathrooms are icky and shouldn't be too close to a place where you are fixing food.

Did someone’s autocorrect change Kayla to Kayak? I know this started somehow started with chat.

This is how I learned to build houses in the Sims too, only I mainly used older houses, Prewar, Inter-war and post war/mid century homes. Because of that I tend to build houses with separate rooms as opposed to open floorplans. I'm also really anal about having proper support walls in my homes instead of what LilSimsie doses with her open layout homes.

Kayak needs to build a floorplan as exactly as she can one of these days. I usually build mine room by room, adjusting for better accuracy, and then focus on the outside, and they look pretty good. Don't be a coward /jk

I wish you worked inside to the outside I really like the original floor plan. Would of been interesting to see it in sims

I loove the seasons stuff. Not just the windows, doors and stone/woods. The furniture too. Underrated pack for build/buy!!

According to the plan, the study does not bump out. That first-floor gable roof you see on the far right (when looking at the front) is covering the living room. The small shed roof off of that, is covering the fireplace box. To "fix" it, you should drag that "kitchen" rear wall out past the living room wall and create that dining room. When you move those stairs, you're going to need to rearrange the upstairs now also. I tend to use the rule of thumb that one game tile is equal to 3 sq ft. That works out fairly well for me.

I love doing actual floorplans. I look them up and then try to recreate them. Old english manors with backstairs for the butler etc are my favorite. Figuring out what goes where and trying to make things fit and line up are what makes it interesting. Limiting yourself is half the challenge.

Never actually thought about the facade vs back thing but…. yeah. My mom’s house is a very cute 95yo Dutch Colonial, but the back has absolutely no compositional balance. Also one of the bedrooms has a window inside of the closet. I guess we can remind ourselves that real life houses are wacky too.

The easiest way I've found to work off a RL floorplan is to make one of the bathrooms, and then adjust the scale of the rest of the house to match proportionally to the bathroom. Sims bathrooms and RL bathrooms are VERY close in scale - nearly 1:1 for most standard bathroom set ups. If that doesn't work, the kitchen is mostly the same as well - counters, sinks, stoves, fridges, etc are all 1:1
