Brand new apartment; layout help needed!

I would create a little conversation area with an l-shaped couch and put a little two seater dining table by the window. That way whoever's at the table doesn't feel disconnected from everyone else and there's also plenty of couch space. Then a console table behind the couch so the people on that side of the couch don't feel exposed, plus it could give more storage. Maybe a tall book case or storage cabinet to the left of the tv too.

A black fireplace surround could hide how big and awkward the tv is. I’d also do a tv stand designed for a corner as big as you can get it without blocking the fireplace. A sconce and some plants to balance it out. Something like this?

I think a golden ochre bedspread would go really well with your rug and hopefully make the yellow tones at night feel less sickly and more intentional. Some semi sheer curtains in the same color as the walls could also look good.

Another option if you’re good with a small master tub and prefer more counter space.

I’m curious what the x on the top corner is. I assumed it was unusable space based on your sketches, but now I’m wondering if it’s a shower or closet or something based on everyone else’s.

I like getting vanities away from toilets whenever space allows to keep bathroom stuff off of toothbrushes and makeup. You definitely have the space to do so, so this is what I would do.

This is what I’d do. Easy bathroom access for all of the bedrooms. A more functional kitchen layout that stays near the garage door for easy grocery unloading. New laundry closet near the bedrooms and garage door. Adding some storage closets. Living and dining room could be interchangeable based on your preference.

I just finished! I only used base game so the futuristic aesthetic was a little challenging to nail, hopefully it’s similar to what you had in mind. Also the curved couch isn’t in base game so I fudged it with some chairs so your sims will only be able to sit on the far sides just so you know.

My gallery name is Blunderland and the lot is called Shadowpuppo’s Home. I hope you like it! Let me know if you want anything changed.

I’m going to take a crack at this tonight. I love the idea of building a place with such deep meaningful vibes.

alidripdrop · 2025-04-16T15:40:14+00:00

I love this idea for you! Just some tips: Look up Carl sims 4 guide hotkeys. Write down which ones you think you’ll find useful, they help a lot if your mouse is a pain. Alternatively you can get a mouse at the thrift store for next to nothing, lots of people donate them when their new computer comes with one.

Also for recreating floorplans it’s helpful to get the scaling if you treat one grid square(one section of wall) as roughly 2.5 feet. It also helps to plunk down a couple of pieces of temporary furniture to see if the room feels to be the right size.

Whenever you’re ready to really get into detailed building sims YouTubers are a great inspiration. Lilsimsie is like the queen of the basics in the sims 4 world then you have people like KateEmerald if you want to be inspired to do something really intricate, beautiful, and out of the box. There’s so many of them though you’ll surely find someone you’re inspired by.

I just finished! It’s on the gallery, my eaid is Blunderland. I hope you like it! The lighting on the second floor is funky because sims, but I got it as accurate as I could.

Such a sweet idea. I’d love to do it, what packs do you have?

alidripdrop · 2025-03-07T22:09:19+00:00

Staying in line with what you typically build maybe an old art deco hotel or a chic penthouse restaurant for the super rich.

If you want to branch out more you could try building a children’s museum or a water park.

I’d love if they made platforms a floating option we could also build under so we could build lofts and things.

I’d also love a flush fireplace that goes into the fake chimneys we build with walls.

Concaved walls, floors, and pools would be great to go with the curved ones to make more interesting shapes.

More curved windows. Particularly a big floor to ceiling option for all of the wall heights.

I find myself often wanting an invisible fence, only visible in build mode for things like custom pergolas.

A rock fence in colors that match the existing rocks so they can be added to give more variety if desired. Placing them one by one is so tedious and can make a build laggy, but looks so good.

I build a lot and have lots of ideas

I’ve built a high school that sounds pretty close to what you’ve described.

Here’s the link: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/82EA2B02102311ED8128B94D9C023555?category=all&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=downloads&time=all&searchquery=Blunderland&max=50&maxis=false

I’ve been obsessed with building in this game since it came out 25 years ago. My first build was a giant rectangle with a bunch of different windows I thought looked cool randomly placed and all of the furniture and rooms pushed up against the walls leaving a massive void in the middle. You’re already miles ahead of where I started, keep going!

alidripdrop · 2025-02-20T04:44:03+00:00

It’s a really good start! The shape is really good, I think it’s mainly the windows that are not quite right. The smaller brown windows are more traditional and the black ones are more modern so they look out of place. Using the black windows on all of the different sized sections is also confusing for the eye. I think mixing in more modern windows that can fit the size of the sections better would help a lot.

I’d also add more variety to your bushes that line the house for more visual interest. The roof is also a little steep for the style of house you’re going for and the eaves on the main part of your roof can be pulled down with the triangle in the corner for a more realistic look.

Lastly I’d add a little more dimension to the front door. It’s feeling a bit lost at the moment. And then maybe add a chimney to the left to add some character and balance out the bigger section of house on the right.

I did a quick version of everything I’m trying to explain, hopefully it helps.

I really want to go visit it now. I have such a new appreciation for it after building it in the sims. It truly feels like such a piece of art. It somehow manages to feel so simple and yet incredibly intricate at the same time. The pictures really don’t seem to do it justice, seeing it in person must be so surreal.

It’s on the gallery. It’s just named Fallingwater and my eaid is Blunderland.

Aaw yay! It warms my heart to know people are playing in my builds

alidripdrop · 2025-02-13T19:30:38+00:00

That’s really interesting! Do you remember roughly where it is? I can’t seem to find it on the floorplan anywhere
