Building a house The house The Sims 4 Guide. Post Comment. Next The house Furnishing a house Prev The house Moving in your family. Once you move in into a house, open the build mode ('F3'). By clicking appropriate icons you get access to building and placing elements of the house: walls, the roof, doors, stairs, etc.
The Greenhouse ComponentsThe items used in the greenhouse build are kept simple so that you can create the basic structure and work around it. One thing to note, if your house is on the same lot has a foundation, your greenhouse will also have a foundation.Here is cheat sheet of all the items, which can be found by using the search at the top left of the items panel.Building The Greenhouse WallsIn the example build I have a 4 x 6 room with the shortest walls. The wall height is dictated by the height of your house, so you may be forced to make it taller.The next step is to add windows to the two long walls and one of the short walls.
Add The Looker window to those walls so that the majority of the walls now appear to be glass.On the remaining wall add one of The Looker windows, a Modern Wooden Door with Frosted Glass Inserts next to it. Finally add a Let There Be Light window in the remaining space. If you have any trouble following this order then watching the video will help.The Greenhouse Roof!Next add a gabled roof with the peak of the roof going along the 6 square length. Then move in the overhang and lower the peak of the roof so that it is as flat as possible. Add the Square roof trim and make it green.
Finally add the Rectangular-Paneled Glass Roof texture to the roof and you have your basic greenhouse. Almost ready for your Sim to get planting!The Final TouchesThe final touches to add is the grass floor inside all of the greenhouse. Add the Standards Basic on the inside and outside of the greenhouse walls. Then you are set to finish off the details as you wish!
Of course I recommend adding planter boxes and the small planter tubs as seen in the picture. Some other things I would consider adding is maybe some fencing around the edges and some plants or trees to make it feel like it’s part of the lot and not just a square blob randomly dropped next to your house.Good luck with your Sims 4 builds, any questions ask them below!
Last week we’ve showed you 8 steps on how to make the lives of your Sims much more entertaining.For this week, we’re going to show you what it takes to build a decent exterior and structure of your Sim’s home in The Sims 4! Step 1: The BasicsBeginnings are never easy.
If you don’t know where to begin with, just start building random walls from different angles and eventually you’ll get the shape and the look of the house you’re looking for. If you’re aiming for a more expensive house, build at least 2 stories so the house will have more objects, both interactive and decorative! Make sure the shape of the second floor is not an exact replica of the first floor. Push and pull to get a small outdoor part for Sims to enjoy in.Note: Try not to make the exterior of your house look too square-ish. To avoid that, add different kinds of rectangular rooms and more diagonal walls on the edge of exterior.Tip: before you start with building, it’s recommended that you have a pen and a piece of paper near you to write down and draw ideas that may flash randomly in your head.
Combine those ideas into a residental lot, do some modifications and you might just build your perfect home!Tip #2: For luxurious homes, make taller wall levels!Step 2: RoofingRoofs are very important for your home! Always add multiple roof shapes and combine them to make it look as a whole. Don’t forget to modify their height and width. Adding bigger roofs will let you build attics!Adding roofs will surely make your house look cozy, but how to roof a house that has diagonal walls? The best way to do it is not add roof at all!
Fence up the edges with low fences and add a floor pattern that’s not too tacky. If you plan to add fireplaces in your home, don’t forget to add a chimney or two from the Roof Decor category.Step 3: Entrance and DecksIt’s important that your Home has an attracting entrance. Level up the foundation to make the house look more luxurious, apply the foundation paint,add decks on the main entrance of your home and don’t forget the stairs!
If you want to tone down the squareness of your home, we recommend that you add a rounded deck. Adding a deck is not just for the entrance though.
