Dollars to donuts, that middle bedroom with no windows used to be open to the living room and was the formal dining room. That house screams "I've been flipped" and since most people don't need a formal dining room, an illegal bedroom is far more useful.
That was my thought too. In my area, any room with a closet can be listed as a bedroom, which increases the asking price. Oh boy, do they take advantage of that!
@@RaasAlHayya crazy! In my COUNTRY a bedroom has to have a visual/physical access to the outside (could be a window or a glass door) - mostly I think it's a fire safety issue but also quality of life and ventilation
this very much reminds me of my childhood home… there’s a room smack in the middle of the house that has three doors and no windows. Once upon a time I think it must have been a (tiiiiiny) bedroom with windows but then my parents put an addition on the back of the house and what was probably a window became a door to the master suite. My mom calls it the “playroom” but I have no memory of ever playing in that room.
@@michaelajw_ yeah. In the US a bedroom must need 3 things, a means of egress, a closet, and a door. That’s why lots of places in NYC have a “Den”… it’s usually lacking a proper door or a closet.
If that was the original setup, there was a much more reasonable way to flip this to add a bedroom. They could have put the extra bedroom in the current living room, leaving just an entryway by the door. Then they could have knocked down the walls between the formal dining, kitchen, and bonus room, and used that whole area as kitchen/dining/living. Still kind of weird, but way less ridiculous.
Since Simsie didn’t do the reminder I’ll do it for her: don’t forget to get your free kit if you have the Sims 4 installed already. The Desert Luxe Kit is free for the owners of the Sims 4 until October 17th!!
When I saw this house on Twitter my first thought was “You can’t just hop back into build mode when you realize you’ve forgotten a door in real life.” 😂
This house truly shows why Decorators are so important. Such a basic/unimaginative layout can still look great when someone goes in and MAKES it look great 🤣
This looks like a house they extended at the front on the cheap, not wanting to take down any load-bearing walls requiring further structural work - hence the weird internal door placements and rooms into rooms.
This does make more sense, if you imagine that the “living room” and garage and master are additions, that makes the interior bedroom make more sense because it most likey used to be a master with an en suite
It’s probably because reinforcing demolished walls that aren’t just internal separating walls requires steel lintels to keep everything in place - if it’s not in budget, a room into a room will need to do 🤣
I read the reply from the owner who designed the house on twitter, he said the team put the incorrect floor plan of the house online leading to the idea of the no archway in the living room. He then went on to say that he has seen worse floor plans than what twitter was making a fuss about 😭😭😭
@@ashrowan2143 it originally was the back of the house because the rooms behind it came later. I know this area; it’s similar to the neighborhood I grew up in, and additions just get slapped on the back.
The floorplan of this house reminds me of when James Turner built a house where each room was one tile larger so it was a labirynth of cramped boxes OOF
Good point. The channel Tokyo Lense does a good video on a tiny apartment in Osaka that has 5 tiny floors. That would be really interesting to try to convert in the Sims. The video is called "Inside Osaka's WEIRDEST Tiny Apartment"
Oh my gosh I saw that floorplan on twitter the other day and I ended up building (and furnishing) the house in The Sims. It all ended up looking at bizarre, I'm glad the actual house got around some of those issues (like idk, another entryway that doesn't take you on a guided tour throughout the entire house).
I built this floorplan, too and it looked so funky in the sims. This makes me wonder how many small odd things in floorplans were honest mistakes by the person drawing them, but were not caught in time before they were unfortunately built 😬😬
It might be partly mistakes by whoever drew this floor plan - apparently in the listing photo there is a door from the living room to the hallway that leads to the bedrooms, but it's not shown on the plan
i watched the video tour of the house, and the owners did in fact put in an archway into the hallway from the living room. whover designed the house should never work in anything to do with design again, tho.
I mean the original house design was probably really old and made sense in the past. Someone else hypothesised that the extra bedroom in the middle might of been a formal dining room originally. So it’s likely the owners renovated the house and “modernised” it and made a bunch of changes like that. So it was probably the owners who came up with this design based off the original design.
the reason why its so weird is because the bonus room, rear bedroom and the huge laundry room are all part of one big expansion done after the house was built. You can tell by the fact that its the only part of the house with a flat roof.
I was part of the original Twitter thread and this is what we all came up with. 1) Theirs actually an archway connecting the hallway and living room. For some reason it wasn't put in the floor plan. 2) The Laundry room, Bonus room and the Back Bedroom are later additions. We also believe that bathroom next to the laundry room was a pantry or laundry room (house was built in 1957.) It's clear the additions were poorly thought out and I'd bet the center bedroom isn't up to code.
Yep bedroom doesn't meet code. Every bedroom must have a window for access to the outside (fire safety). If a fire ever starts in that house, the person sleeping in that room is quite literally toast. Id bet that bedroom was originally a dining room and the bathroom was a guest bathroom instead of private.
I think that middle bedroom must have been something else and converted into a bedroom, like a dining room but they might have not needed a separate place to eat their dinner (I’m guessing)
This house is funny. It actually reminds me of my hometown neighborhoods. The local Goodyear plant had a bunch of "nice" neighborhoods made for all the workers. They were nice houses all with the same square footage BUT what they did was mix up all the rooms inside the houses. So all these houses had the same number of rooms, and the rooms were all the same size just jumbled up inside. I always found it so odd.
It’s nice they actually made the houses different. I hate going through neighbourhoods and every house looks exactly the same. It’s trippy, if I went through a big neighbourhood like that then I would definitely get lost.
So acording to the floor plan, if someone has explosive diarrhea and the parent were at their bedroom when that person entered the bathroom, they would be stuck inside the house until the bathroom is empty again? Fun
Eh. The scale isn't usually off by much when trying to recreate real layouts. I find a normal big square counting as being 2x2ft is close enough for most things. The only real problems come, IMHO, when the layout doesn't do measurements with even numbers, like that dining room being 7ft10inx9ft (meaning I'd have to make it 4x5, perhaps impacting other rooms or distorting the shell).
@@tynugget2072 I just measured my appliances. My stove's 23", my fridge is 24", my counters are also 24" deep, etc... Admittedly, I'm in an apartment, so they're a bit smaller than full-sized ones are, but I'd say it's good enough to choose 2ft per grid tile as reasonable, even if doors and windows still don't scale properly.
I go by metres. The grid in the sims seems to be 1 metre x 1 metre. Most things fit into that. Only problem is the beds in the sims are 3 long but in real life beds are usually less than 2 metres. Everything else fits this scale though. I made my own house in the sims using this scale and the floor plans of my house and it turned out pretty good. The only problem is a lot of walls in my house aren’t exactly 1 metre, some have half a metre.
my friend used to live in a house where his room could only be accessed through his parents room. also to get into his en-suite bathroom you had to walk through the closet
They really put the bathroom in a hallway! 😂 Not only does this block access to the bedrooms (and I hope at least one kid in this household enjoys long baths and insists on their privacy), but also someone's gonna forget locking one of the doors to the bathroom (the one they did not enter through) at the most embarrassing times! 🤣🤣🤣 Friends of the family are gonna love the hilarious Schadenfreude accidents that are just waiting to happen in this bathroom! 😂
That “utility closet” in the kitchen is where the fridge goes. There was no wall blocking it off to make it a closet. Just two walls on the sides of it
This was the first Sims video I ever watched! After that, I fell in love. Thank you so much Simsie! you have really changed my life for the better. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.

the garage and the back orange bedroom needed to be popped out more. But other than that awesome job. Also would have been awesome to watch you recreate the outdoor bbq room.
This is so funny. My husband posted this to our local group chat. I actually went in and "edited" This floor plan from the 50s to make it work better! Then I found the actual listing like you did. Looks like it went through some renavations after it was last sold to add that door.
I saw someone reply to this floor plan on Twitter saying that they've been in the house & actually there is a door from the living room into that hallway, the person who made the floor plan just missed it.
I like looking at floor plans of houses, especially ones in Japan and you don’t know how many times I’ve found floor plans without any doors. Like they just forgot or couldn’t be bothered to add any doors at all and you’re just left wondering where the doors might go.
This could still be an EA-Build 😂with the few windows and the quirky bedrooms that are only accessible through a bathroom, I mean they have forgotten to add things like doors before 😅
I've lived in a house like this! You walk in the front door into the living room, on the left there's a long kitchen that's like a hallway with a small room in the back (dining room?) With a door to the bathroom. Then on the right of the living room, there's a door to a bedroom with a door to another bedroom (with another door to that^ bathroom connected to the diningroom) that also has a door to a hallway to get to another bedroom AND a bathroom (you have to walk through the bedrooms to get to other bedrooms). Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking building it, but there was no privacy anywhere 😂
That sounds terrible! Having the entrance in the living room must feel so exposed, rather than calm and private! 🥶 Also, If you have to walk through a "bedroom" to get to another bedroom, that's not a bedroom, that's an oversized hallway! 💀
I feel like the extra bedroom right in the middle would lend itself to be a home cinema. Make the “bonus room” a bedroom to keep up the count if you need to. And yeah, that one door that’s missing on the plan makes the whole house a lot less of a clusterf*ck.
Aw I love how you looked up the real house. The probably bought it funky then ripped down some walls and stuff. It seemed like the house was in California, or like SoCal so I’d be interested to know the price lmao
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 I think you might have misread the city name, which is quite understandable. *Glendora is about 25 miles east of Glendale and is only a suburb of Los Angles in the broadest of terms. It is also in the NE quadrant of the San Gabriel Valley, compared to Glendale in the SFV. :)
@@grayrosy Oh! So I did. (Too many "glens"). Yes, that would be in the San Gabriel Valley, closer to Pasadena rather than L.A. In fact, probably closer still to San Bernardino.
I used to play this game as a kid where I try to make the worst floor plan imaginable like front door into the master bedroom having to go to the bathroom to get to the kitchen etc. this is very similar to some thing I would’ve made in that game
I looked up this address and it looks like there is a door in the living room that leads to the hallway and master bedroom. But it’s still a pretty wonky layout! Haha and then like two minutes later you show the house😂
That was fun to watch! Never apologize for Snap, she's really the star of the show lol. It wouldn't be a lilsimsie video without Snap coming to say hello.
So you can actually look this up on Zillow and I think the floor plan is just wrong bc it seems there is a door into the hallway from the living room…. Still doesn’t change how horrendous this floor plan is 😭😭😭😭😭
I was like “oh it’s probably just some student, and this is their 1st ever attempt at designing something that isn’t real for a class project” than you showed the real house.
Kinda reminds me of an old home back east in Massachusetts. No hallways between rooms; to get to one, you had to walk through another, even the bedrooms. It was really weird to walk through two other bedrooms to get to the bathroom or the stairs. This one does look nice on the inside though and I’m glad you found the archway.
i like how you had the picture of the floor plan on the side so we could reference it. can you do that more often when you do IRL houses and stuff please?! love your content
Yes, very possible, many many ppl do that as challenges. Such as only use Stuff packs; or 1 expansion, 1 game pack and one stuff pack. I make houses often without using base game items, it's very fun.
I found the house on Zillow and it sold for nearly $800k in 2021. Imagine paying that much money for a truly awful house. Also suggests the owners would be at least somewhat likely to have a high enough income to fix some of this and they just didn’t
That space in the kitchen you made a 2x1 is where the fridge goes XD there is possibly a utility closet across from it or it's a pantry but that 2x1 is where the fridge goes, squares and rectangles with x's are appliances when you're making floorplans. Rectangles in the kitchen are for wider french door fridges specifically. So the one by the dining room is a trash compactor given where it's located and then you've got a dish washer next to the sink across from the fridge. You can Doubly tell it's for a fridge as it is not fully enclosed it's put into its own little nook. utilities are in the middle of the house by that central bathroom the pink bit in front of one of the bedrooms.
I also saw this on twitter and I discovered that there is in fact an archway from the living room into the blue hallway in the real house but they didn’t include it on the floor plan. Edit: commented this before finishing the video so I’m glad you found out about the archway in the real house
I saw this post a few days ago in a Facebook sims build group!! I was hoping Simsie would build it hahah it was actually so funny reading all the comments in the Facebook group it was posted in 🤣
Reminds me of a house i looked at when my husband and i were looking at houses. At the time we had 1 yr old twins. If we looked now it would be a lot more doable
I have been in a house exactly like this. The bathroom was connected to the kitchen, but you either had to go through one or the other to get to the living room and the rest of the house. It was stupid. LOL
a friend of mine had an interesting apartment once, it was an old house spit into apartments so thats why it was weird, but you had to either walk through the bathroom, or out into the shared hallway/stairwell and back in through another door to get to the kitchen
This actually reminds me of a friends house, really old with high ceilings, fireplace and horsehair stucco sort of old (which was refurbished over time, of course). Her room is in the centre of the house with a window, which is because outside her room was a closed veranda turned into rooms on either side of the entrance area. One of the closed areas became attached to the main bedroom and the other became a small bedroom.
this is something they should've showed us when i was doing a carpentry class, i really didnt understand the neccessity of creating a floorplan asside from making everything fit together. but this makes so much sense why you need to plan everything out lmfao
Id totally live in that house tbh haha A video of you trying to renovate the original coloured one you made without moving any of the outside walls would be call. Also pat the baby! She deserves it!
Too funny! I actually found this post a couple days ago as well before watching this video. I also built it, I did not find the actual house to see that extra doorway and all the extra fun stuff simsie found. My rendition is on the gallery LOL

the garage and the back orange bedroom needed to be popped out more. But other than that awesome job. Also would have been awesome to watch you recreate the outdoor bbq room.
This is so funny. My husband posted this to our local group chat. I actually went in and "edited" This floor plan from the 50s to make it work better! Then I found the actual listing like you did. Looks like it went through some renavations after it was last sold to add that door.
We need this build finished!!!! Kayla would make it such a BEAUTIFUL home to play in with that style!
I saw someone reply to this floor plan on Twitter saying that they've been in the house & actually there is a door from the living room into that hallway, the person who made the floor plan just missed it.
I like looking at floor plans of houses, especially ones in Japan and you don’t know how many times I’ve found floor plans without any doors. Like they just forgot or couldn’t be bothered to add any doors at all and you’re just left wondering where the doors might go.
I love when Snap shows up🥹 I like seeing the back of her tiny head and her tiny little ears ❤️
This could still be an EA-Build 😂with the few windows and the quirky bedrooms that are only accessible through a bathroom, I mean they have forgotten to add things like doors before 😅
I've lived in a house like this! You walk in the front door into the living room, on the left there's a long kitchen that's like a hallway with a small room in the back (dining room?) With a door to the bathroom. Then on the right of the living room, there's a door to a bedroom with a door to another bedroom (with another door to that^ bathroom connected to the diningroom) that also has a door to a hallway to get to another bedroom AND a bathroom (you have to walk through the bedrooms to get to other bedrooms). Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking building it, but there was no privacy anywhere 😂
That sounds terrible! Having the entrance in the living room must feel so exposed, rather than calm and private! 🥶
Also, If you have to walk through a "bedroom" to get to another bedroom, that's not a bedroom, that's an oversized hallway! 💀
Thank you to Queen Snap for blessing us with the honor of an appearance in this video 🥰
I feel like the extra bedroom right in the middle would lend itself to be a home cinema. Make the “bonus room” a bedroom to keep up the count if you need to. And yeah, that one door that’s missing on the plan makes the whole house a lot less of a clusterf*ck.
Aw I love how you looked up the real house. The probably bought it funky then ripped down some walls and stuff. It seemed like the house was in California, or like SoCal so I’d be interested to know the price lmao
It's in Glendale, which is a suburb of Los Angeles, on the edge of the San Fernando Valley. The house lists for over $700k.
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 I think you might have misread the city name, which is quite understandable. *Glendora is about 25 miles east of Glendale and is only a suburb of Los Angles in the broadest of terms. It is also in the NE quadrant of the San Gabriel Valley, compared to Glendale in the SFV. :)
@@grayrosy Oh! So I did. (Too many "glens"). Yes, that would be in the San Gabriel Valley, closer to Pasadena rather than L.A. In fact, probably closer still to San Bernardino.
I used to play this game as a kid where I try to make the worst floor plan imaginable like front door into the master bedroom having to go to the bathroom to get to the kitchen etc. this is very similar to some thing I would’ve made in that game
I looked up this address and it looks like there is a door in the living room that leads to the hallway and master bedroom. But it’s still a pretty wonky layout!
Haha and then like two minutes later you show the house😂
Never apologize for Snappy! Love her cameos!
Is there a mod that gives you bigger lots? I feel like it would be handy for these very specific situations 😂
Let us know if you ever find one 👀
We need more small lots not more big ones!
@@indijohnson1278 different people have different preferences! I prefer bigger lots
never apologize for snap! we love seeing her
Is there a reason she didn't make the main bedroom and garage a little longer like they were in the floorplan? 🤔
Thaaaank you.... i looked for someone notice this too xD
everyone, lets get Lilsimsie to do the Winchester Mansion 🤩
Ahhh I was hoping you'd build this
That was fun to watch! Never apologize for Snap, she's really the star of the show lol. It wouldn't be a lilsimsie video without Snap coming to say hello.
I kinda wanna see you make it work in-game now
Just saw this floorplan yesterday and I thought that it would be great to try and do it in the sims. So glad you did it!
So you can actually look this up on Zillow and I think the floor plan is just wrong bc it seems there is a door into the hallway from the living room…. Still doesn’t change how horrendous this floor plan is 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm absolutely fascinated to see the horrific roofing plan they also gave.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT THE LITTLE BATHROOM CLOSE TO THE KITCHEN HAS NO DOOR AT ALL ON THE PICTURE 🤦🏻♀️
THE MASTER BEDROOM AND GARAGE BUMP OUT FURTHER ON THAT ONE SIDE AND IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH
Can you upload this to the gallery? I'd love to try and furnish/decorate it!
id love to see a vid of this house renovated to make sense!!
I was like “oh it’s probably just some student, and this is their 1st ever attempt at designing something that isn’t real for a class project” than you showed the real house.
isn’t it a rule that to classify a room as a bedroom it has to have a window?
Omg I saw this! It IS a real house! The Zillow ad was on the Twitter thread!
The bathroom placement is the most upsetting to me
Kinda reminds me of an old home back east in Massachusetts. No hallways between rooms; to get to one, you had to walk through another, even the bedrooms. It was really weird to walk through two other bedrooms to get to the bathroom or the stairs.
This one does look nice on the inside though and I’m glad you found the archway.
I grew up in a really weird floor plan house. I had no windows in my room & 2 doors. However, this floor plan is by far worse hahahah.
Idk where you're from, but apparently in the USA, that means your family had you sleep in an illegal bedroom lmao
@@crisiscat You aren’t wrong lmao
i like how you had the picture of the floor plan on the side so we could reference it. can you do that more often when you do IRL houses and stuff please?! love your content
Before you added that arch I was gonna say this house is a huge fire hazard in the Sims 4 🤣
Kayla you should do a random budget for each room and no mistakes challenge mix!! That’d be all chaos 😂😂
I googled the address and the real house still doesn’t make sense. There is so much going on inside and outside 😫😫😂
Woah! Crazy throwback. Grew up in Glendora until I was 8. So much nostalgia
Is it possible to build a house without using base game items? Just, y'know, walls and pack items
Yes, very possible, many many ppl do that as challenges. Such as only use Stuff packs; or 1 expansion, 1 game pack and one stuff pack.
I make houses often without using base game items, it's very fun.
I found the house on Zillow and it sold for nearly $800k in 2021. Imagine paying that much money for a truly awful house. Also suggests the owners would be at least somewhat likely to have a high enough income to fix some of this and they just didn’t
Congrats if ur reading this seems ur not blind
Thx
Or Lea Michele
That space in the kitchen you made a 2x1 is where the fridge goes XD there is possibly a utility closet across from it or it's a pantry but that 2x1 is where the fridge goes, squares and rectangles with x's are appliances when you're making floorplans. Rectangles in the kitchen are for wider french door fridges specifically. So the one by the dining room is a trash compactor given where it's located and then you've got a dish washer next to the sink across from the fridge. You can Doubly tell it's for a fridge as it is not fully enclosed it's put into its own little nook. utilities are in the middle of the house by that central bathroom the pink bit in front of one of the bedrooms.
Pov: your early and dont know what to say 😢❤
That shirt shows off the colour of your eyes
I'm so glad you built this, it's horrifying! Even with the logical hall door added back in there's still so much that makes no sense
I also saw this on twitter and I discovered that there is in fact an archway from the living room into the blue hallway in the real house but they didn’t include it on the floor plan.
Edit: commented this before finishing the video so I’m glad you found out about the archway in the real house
Omg I saw the post about this floor plan on Twitter and I’m so glad you made it. The internal bedroom with no windows is horrifying
Yes!!!!!!!
I was hoping for this!
I saw this post a few days ago in a Facebook sims build group!! I was hoping Simsie would build it hahah
it was actually so funny reading all the comments in the Facebook group it was posted in 🤣
Reminds me of a house i looked at when my husband and i were looking at houses. At the time we had 1 yr old twins. If we looked now it would be a lot more doable
Unintentionally the best floorplan I have ever stumbled upon for my gameplay purposes (with some minute changes).
I have been in a house exactly like this. The bathroom was connected to the kitchen, but you either had to go through one or the other to get to the living room and the rest of the house. It was stupid. LOL
a friend of mine had an interesting apartment once, it was an old house spit into apartments so thats why it was weird, but you had to either walk through the bathroom, or out into the shared hallway/stairwell and back in through another door to get to the kitchen
This actually reminds me of a friends house, really old with high ceilings, fireplace and horsehair stucco sort of old (which was refurbished over time, of course). Her room is in the centre of the house with a window, which is because outside her room was a closed veranda turned into rooms on either side of the entrance area. One of the closed areas became attached to the main bedroom and the other became a small bedroom.
The occasional cat tail was so cute
this is something they should've showed us when i was doing a carpentry class, i really didnt understand the neccessity of creating a floorplan asside from making everything fit together. but this makes so much sense why you need to plan everything out lmfao
Id totally live in that house tbh haha A video of you trying to renovate the original coloured one you made without moving any of the outside walls would be call. Also pat the baby! She deserves it!
Too funny! I actually found this post a couple days ago as well before watching this video. I also built it, I did not find the actual house to see that extra doorway and all the extra fun stuff simsie found. My rendition is on the gallery LOL
