- Hello and welcome to my incredibly cream studio.
Yes, I know, it's cream and I'm cream,
but we're gonna put things on the walls
because we're going to be decorating
much like in today's video,
I am decorating my dream house in the Sims 4.
It was going to be building my dream house in the Sims 4,
but I filed for an hour and a half yesterday
and then realized,
I hadn't even clicked the screen record button, so.
(wind whistling)
We're gonna start with this beautiful empty shell
and take it from there.
Thanks to everyone on Twitter
who gave me advice and said that it was fine,
no one really cared about the building anyway,
they just wanted to see the fun decorating stuff.
This video is sponsored by Skillshare
where you can learn many clever things,
like how not to be a ninny
and forget to actually record your screen.
But also, basic interior design,
which you'll see me exercising today,
and they even have a new class on how to be a Youtuber.
I mean, again, does not include instructions on
how to record your screen.
But it does include Youtuber Sorelle Amore's
favorite tips and techniques
for building up a devoted online following.
Using examples from her own past content
and other creators she loves.
After taking this class
you're gonna be empowered to be your true self on camera,
share authentically with your followers
and to build a large following that can't get enough
of the real you.
Always the most important thing on YouTube I think.
Just be the real you.
'Cause hey, if there's one place that's acceptable,
it's YouTube.

And now let's test my Skillshare aided skills
as an interior designer.
So, as you're joining me, I made a few little alterations
to the outside of the house.
I mean, I say a few little alterations,
it looks so much better now.
Yay,
yay. (voices cheering)
I basically just didn't show the building aspect
because obviously forgot to record.
And then when I changed it from that,
I thought there were so many Tweets that just said,
we don't really care, Jessica,
we just want to see the decorating on the inside.
So, I saved us all a lot of time
with my slow slow building.
My building is in fact so slow
that this house looks okay from the outside.
But from the back, as you can see,
it needs some work.
On the inside, it's bare, there's nothing.
So we're now going to decorate the house.
But I'll give you a little tour first,
I'll show you around, I'll tell you my choices.
Can I just say,
putting roofs on this was the hardest thing
I have had to do.
There's so many different roof types.
I've been watching a lot of Plumbella though,
so if this house looks like something she's made before,
I apologize, it's not intentional.
It's just she's seeped into my psyche.
One of the things you can really see in this house
in the way that she has sunk into my brain
is putting little columns on the edges of things.
Which I have just done all the way around here.
And it looks so lovely.
It's very charming.
I've gone for a Edwardian,
my wife calls this Edwardian neo gothic.
Down here we have a garden that should be looking lovely,
but unfortunately, for some reason it's decided,
even though it's spring,
the plants aren't gonna look nice.
Maybe I'll come back and revisit this house in the summer
and it will look beautiful.
Let's get decorating.
So obviously I've done windows.
It's particularly dark, though.
Why is it so dark?
I really don't know.
Let's get some doors in
and see if that helps matters.
I don't know why it would,
but maybe, maybe it will.
So the front door, I've just gone for this one
because it blends in with the lovely stone.
Again, we're pretending it's bath stone, it's delightful.
Oh, I wonder if it's like the outside but brown.
That one?
No.
Not quite the Edwardian look we're going for though.
Oh, oh, this is beautiful.
Ah, delightful.
Is this a bit weird?
It's fine, it's fine.
It's ridiculous.
That ones cute, I like it.
Oh, maybe.
I love it, I love it, I love it.
Oh, I think that's okay.
I think that's okay.
Hm.
Hm,
hm,
hm?
The bathroom, yes.
Stunning.
Whoops.
Wow, these are all hideous.
I mean, does that even vaguely, oh.
(moaning)
I can't see.
No, not the red and orange, disgusting.
Oh look at that, see it's nice.
That's nice.
This kitchen is actually the same color-ish
as the kitchen that we're going to be putting
into our new house, which is very...
Into our new house, we're redoing the new house.
We live in the new house now,
we have done for about eight months.
But it's gonna be this nice dark green
that I'm really interested in.
I know it's a bit of a departure,
a bit of a daring color for a kitchen,
but I really like it.
And then the same kind of marbley worktops.
I'm actually pretty shocked.
Somehow the Sims has managed to replicate this.
Our kitchen won't be this exact design, I have to say,
and I wish, it's nice.
I like it, oh.
I don't know.
So far I just have items in this room,
that I quite like.
It'd be good if there's a trunk.
Obviously you have to have
this beautiful little world mixology thing
that I'm obsessed with.
Okay, what else do we need a drawing room?
Best kind of things that we could have
would be some delightful sofas.
Something quite fancy,
something that says, we don't have children in this room.
Oh, I could go for a green.
The green would definitely mirror the greens
throughout the rest of the house.
Why am I putting a piano in the house
when neither of the people play the piano?
Oh I'm gonna have to turn it
in a non diagonal fun fashion.
Upstairs we have got,
well upstairs we've only got really one room so far,
which is my, oops, (laughing)
I just realized that's my filming room,
here's all my filming stuff.
Oh, because that's what you do with the spare bedroom,
you make YouTube videos.
I really like white doors.
We don't have any white doors in our house,
but I really like white doors,
and I'd like to paint them all white.
All right, let's do a quick little bathroom.
It's not very big,
so I think we're just gonna have to go with the basic.
A little sink, a nice toilet.
A nice toilet.
And I personally really don't like showers,
but my wife does.
Oh there we go, compromise,
shower and a bath all in one.
Delightful.
Give me a nice mirror,
that's all I'm asking for.
Oh, that fits downstairs, that's cute.
But not right for here.
Awe, okay.
Now we've made the bathroom slightly pretty.
Can I put curtains in the bathroom?
What kind of curtains should we have in our bathroom,
just something small,
she says going for royal wedding swag.
(moaning)
Uh-uh.
All right moving on.
This our bedroom in here.
Let's make it lovely.
Right, we're gonna want to put,
where are we gonna put the bed?
Number one concern.
(singing)
I still find it weird
that the bushes are in with the beds, but.
Oh I guess this is a bit like our current bed.
We just have to find it in a shade
that works with this room.
That's horrible.
Okay, no, call it off, call it off.
Oh, no.
(winces) No.
Why do you not, why, why do you do this to me?
Why?
All that I'm asking for is an attractive bed.
Bedroom done, let's move onto baby room
for the absolutely nonexistent baby.
Going for the flowery wardrobe,
but we've got a bit flowery wallpaper,
but we've got a little bit kind of gender neutral
whatever happens happens.
Also I'm really just not into super pink, super blue.
So we've got a bear chair in there.
Should we have a little bookshelf?
A little bookshelf would be cute, wouldn't it?
Oh, this one's pastel, I think I'd rather this one.
Awe, see now that's cute, that's cute, isn't it?
I like that.
Decorative items.
Let's not put any creepy gnomes in there.
(jaunty music)
Oh, I love the little kid pictures on the wall.
Why am I putting these on the wall?
Still don't have a little child in this house, but,
it's fine, we just got baby fever.
Oh that's so cute, oh it's adorable.
Oh my god, the cloud, we need the cloud.
Claude's nickname at school was cloud,
so obviously we're gonna have a lot of cloud themed things
for our children.
I'm gonna put a little sofa at the top of the stairs
because that's not the right thing to click for a sofa,
because I think it's just nice sometimes
to have a little sit down at the top of the stairs.
I'm looking for a chaise longue, really.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh I'll just go for this, this is cute.
I am obsessed with,
oh, and look at that, that's very nice,
doesn't go with the doors.
Hm, panic about it now, panic about it later?
Hm, now.
Hello and welcome to the Kellgren-Fozard residences
and our little house tour,
I hope you like it.
I am the world's slowest builder,
so, excuse me.
But I've gone for an Edwardian neo-classical,
or according to my wife, neo-gothic look
that I think it's just because (mumbling)
There we go.
I think it's adorable.
I love these windows that came with the university pack,
so I built the house around them.
I love that it has beautiful little ivy growing up it,
we've got beautiful window boxes over here.
Look, we have a balcony that looks out over the park,
delightful.
So, you know, our little Sim children
can be playing over here with their friends.
And I can just look out this balcony
and tell them to come home.
A lot of greenery down here.
But I haven't really done much of the garden
because that's Claudia's doing.
(laughing) No, that's not true,
I'm still gonna have to do it, but it takes forever.
I have put a fountain in though
because the fountain is very important to me.
I have always wanted a fountain in my garden.
Then at the back, I've obviously not made a lot of changes,
'cause I've not done the outside yet.
Beautiful little porch out there.
Right, let's go in to the house.
As we come in the front door,
we come into our wonderful hallway.
Oh, oh, there we go.
Steering, my steering on the Sims is not good.
Dammit, no, in, we're in the hallway.
Okay, so first of all...
I'm just gonna do it from up here,
it's fine.
So we've got a lovely neat little place
where we can put our coats and shoes,
I really love that, I want to design a little drop zone.
Oh I've just realized, there are no banisters on my stairs.
That will be corrected,
I actually can't climb stairs without banisters,
I need the sides, so.
So the kitchen is the gorgeous color of kitchen
that we're currently going for
when we're remodeling downstairs.
Look at it.
I'm actually really impressed
that the Sims has the same color.
It's a gorgeous green.
It's a little tealy, it's a little dark teal.
I like it, it's got a gorgeous marble surface.
Here, delightful.
I didn't quite go for the oven tower island thing
that we're actually going with.
But let's go and look at our bathroom.
Lovely.
So sleek, so sophisticated.
Oh, oh, I'm not personally a fan
of tiles going all the way up the wall,
but that's what we've got,
so let's live with it.
It's quite cute.
Actually, it's quite color coordinated.
I'm quite pleased with this bathroom.
And then we got the living room.
This is the snug room.
It's where we get all cozy and comfortable
and watch television.
And there's a gramophone in there,
in case we want to do a little bit of dancing right here,
which we do.
Claudia and I dance daily.
Because why not?
The moving out of the first living room,
the snug room, again,
we're gonna come into the drawing room.
Which is the kind of living room
where you just have a lot of learning.
It's very important.
Got another beautiful big, oh look at that,
look at that, look at that, look at that.
Oh, we're gonna play more records on it.
Delightful, Claudia has a record collection
that she loves.
We've got a big, beautiful bookcase,
full of knowledge.
Claudia got a guitar, rather than a ukulele,
even though she really wanted a ukulele,
but I'm sorry that I don't have a ukulele,
I was not gonna put up with a violin.
Beautiful paintings.
A chicken one for my wife,
a moody lady for me.
Also, Edwardian.
Gotta camera for Claudia
so that she can do some photography, enjoy herself.
We've got a chessboard for me.
Really like chess.
Do do, up the stairs to the hallway
that probably needs some more stuff.
We have my techy room, yay.
This is where I can film and oh,
film with a better camera.
And edit videos.
And also a drone, obviously for Claudia.
We all know how much she loves the drone.
Even though she can't really fly it
and she makes me do it.
And then going on through into our bedroom.
I love paneling, you may have noticed,
and I really want to have some gorgeous paneling
throughout the bedroom
that we're gonna be putting in upstairs in this house
when we have renovated our loft.
But we've gone for a blue theme
just because it was the only way to make things
look vaguely nice,
but it's not really the kind of thing I'd go for,
but you work with what you're given in the Sims 4, okay?
So we've got a bed with a very interesting headboard,
love an interesting headboard.
I went for a mix of curtains
because I can get these curtains on the sides
which is really silly,
I fell like there should be the half curtains
matching the larger curtains.
But a little dressing table over here.
Where are my clothes hanging in this reality?
No clue, no clue.
And then my little room
for when the little Sim Jessie and the Sim Claude
have a baby, which wow,
will be easier and cheaper than real life.
Good times, good times, good times.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing me
make our little dream Sims home.
Please let me know which Sim-related videos
you'd like me to make next.
Should I make Sim Jessie and Sim Claude have a baby?
Did I just ask you for ideas
on what to make in the Sims next knowing completely
that it was just gonna be that?
It's just gonna be that, yeah,
okay I'm gonna make my Sims have a baby.
There we go.
Please leave in the comments any ideas you have
for names for our Sim baby
and I'll just choose their name from the comments.
So as to avoid my wife's wrath
by using a name we actually like
and will use for a human child.
