    i feel like a cool teen room would be a teen who wants to travel when they're older. The luggage nightstand and the postcards, and probably much other things in the game that can contribute to this type of room!

    I think a fun idea for a teen or a child would be an ice skating child I think thats something I have not seen yet in the Sims 4. I thaught of that when I again realized that we have gotten the Ice skating area with seasons which I think is very underrated

    • @hollilypip7428
      @hollilypip7428 3 года назад +1

      For me at least I never get to use the ice skating area because it’s just so big and I can never reasonably fit it onto the lot without it looking ridiculous (that might just be me being terrible at building anything other than homes tho lmao)

    My ideas for adults:
    A mechanic that loves everything with cogs and motors
    A geek that pretends not to be one, but has a room with consoles and good computers
    A fitness maniac
    A cat lover man
    An ex-seaman that loves the sea and everything from it
    A sim that is convinced occult sims exist and collects everything that may guide them to them
    A florist that is trying to take care of his stepdaughter (his dead girlfriend's daughter)

  • @Laurastar2009
    @Laurastar2009 3 года назад

    One of my saves is a seasonal game with 4 families that I play. Each family is in a different world and each is themed on one season, so I have my autumn family, my winter/Christmas family, my spring family and my summer family. I only play each family during "their" season. It allowed me to go overboard with the seasonal colour schemes, holiday decorations, and even the names and outfits of my Sims and their pets. Switching out decorations for each season gets tedious very quickly, even on long seasons, but this method lets me enjoy seasonal themes without having to makeover the house every few Sim weeks.

    I recently spent a long time going through debug and meticulously placing stuff for a build and I left it alone for a little bit and I came back and realized I hadn’t saved. I haven’t tried to redo it yet lol but I have worked on other parts, now saving like every 5 minutes, so I totally feel that frustration! I love the build, it looks super cozy, and I think the new shaders helps with that too! I do like the long living rooms, not bc I usually do, but it feels like something you would encounter in real life with houses. Can’t wait for the next video ! ☺️

    Who thinks she should build a house for “a family on a budget” so like the furniture doesn’t match but like the walls are just not all done and just the simple stuff, maybe the bedroom doesn’t match perfectly or something. they could have like two kids and a mom and dad! You can make up the rest! Like this if you think she should so simlicy can see this!

    I was wondering if you had done something where the teen aspires to be in the military career? In my current save file I just used that as one of my storylines and I had a harder time decorating the bedroom because I was thinking they'd probably be active and more minimalistic. But I would love to see you do something like that, your decorating and design skills are by far the best I have ever seen.

    this is the cutest build i’ve seen in awhile!! i know you felt a little weird putting orange everywhere, but it’s fall!! even if it’s completely unrealistic, since it’s a fall theme it’s 100% perfect !!! don’t be ashamed to follow a theme and have fun!!
