- Hey everybody.
I'm Kelsey.
I'm red head now (chuckles).
And today we are playing "The Sims".
I brought on a professional
to build me a tiny house
for one of my Sim children.
Well my Sim's children,
not my children.
So anyway, why don't you
introduce yourself to the friends here.
- Hi I'm Joe.
I work with Design Social.
It's my business.
- You ever built a tiny home before?
- I have actually.
I started my own business a little over a year ago.
Been working on homes and other projects
for nine plus years.
- What would you normally consider your style?
- So, I lean more towards modern contemporary design.
- Well. that will be perfect for today.
One of my original children,
from the first crop of kids,
Alexis, never caught her day in sunshine.
So I thought it would be great
if we built Alexis in a tiny house.
Alexia is very sweet,
probably more of a classical architecture girl,
but could be a little modern.
That is your client.
So, here is our lot.
It's so cute.
- Very cool, okay.
We gotta do traditional right?
- Yes.
- Okay, we might need a foundation.
- From the ground. - Elevated.
(Joe awes) - A little elevated.
- Let's do something like that.
It looks kinda bulky and kinda--
- It also look kinda big.
- It looks huge, okay so--
- (laughs) It look like a very big tiny house.
(Joe laughs)
- Something like that, cool. - Cool.
- Doors are good, right?
You gotta-- - Doors are good.
- Gotta get in somehow.
- It's the front door too,
so it's kinda suppose to be
a little jazzier of a door.
- It's a statement.
I don't want to mess this up.
- No pressure, but also--
- But serious pressure.
I think I want to go with something kinda like this.
- That's so cute.
- It's kinda small.
- But it is a tiny house.
- It is a tiny--
- So tiny door.
- Is it a tiny house though
or is it kinda large right now?
- I mean--
(laughing)
I didn't say it.
- After I put the door in,
I realized how big it was.
Right? - Right.
Maybe use the door to scale
is the scale - There you go.
Yeah, this door helps scale.
- You want measurements, like feet.
- Yeah, I'm weird.
- You're too professional for "The Sims" (laughs).
- I need to just wing it.
- You're doing a great job of the winging.
You are the wing-man, as people might say.
- That's amazing.
My friends have never said that.
(Kelsey laughing)
No, don't wanna do that.
That was a mistake.
That happens periodically when you're building.
They just build a random wall
on this side. (Kelsey laughing)
- You take it down.
- And then demolish it,
just to waste a week or two.
So that,
we'll just say that's the room for now.
Can we do one in Google SketchUp?
- That does sound cool.
I don't know how to use that.
- I could teach you (laughs).
- That would be a cool video.
"Regular Simmers Learn How to Actually
Build Homes."
- We definitely need a sink.
- I love a farmhouse sink.
Now in a tiny home,
would you normally have a large fridge
or a tiny fridge?
- I mean this is America right?
We eat a lot.
- Facts.
She needs a place to hold all of her
fixings for her garden salads
that she enjoys.
- That's true.
- And her birthday cakes.
- She told me that once, I think.
- You guys hang out.
- Okay let's do windows
'cause I wanna get to the outside.
Okay, and then I wanna a bigger one.
- You could maybe pick this one,
might be a little bit bigger. (Joe laughing)
That's how you size things up in general.
- You telling me how to do my job or what?
(laughing)
- [Kelsey] "Kelsey Hires a Professional
"Then Tells Him How To Do His Job."
- [Joe] Yes, she does.
I got an idea. - Okay.
- I got it hold up.
Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
- I'm holding up.
- Maybe, okay, here.
I wanna do this too,
but I think this is too high.
Look at that.
- Lovely.
- I do like how you can adjust
everything quickly like that.
It's cool that you can kind of
make quick leaps of faith,
and then kinda refine it as it goes on.
It's kinda nice.
- We're converting you to "The Sims".
- I'm gonna go to the building department,
with a Sims model next time.
- This does kinda feel like a normal sized house.
Or a small house.
- A small house,
It's pretty small.
I mean a one bedroom with a one bath.
- But could we make it a tiny house?
- Like a tiny, tiny, tiny? - Yeah.
- Okay, let's go even smaller.
- Small. - All right.
- You don't want these internet people going,
"That's a small house."
We're like, "No, we can do it.
"We can make a tiny house."
- Should we do like a studio,
where the bedroom, everything is kind of--
- Yeah, maybe.
- And the only thing that's private
is the bathroom maybe?
- Maybe.
- So is that tinier?
That's tinier, right?
- That's definitely tinier.
- Okay, we're getting tiny.
- We're getting tiny up in here.
- I wanna make this tinier.
- Awe, so cute, tiny porch.
- It's like a tiny little porch.
- You could put like one little chair there.
And like a little,
I don't know, potted plant.
Oh, roofing.
We goin' in.
- Let's get the big stuff goin'
'cause that's the way to do it, right?
You just dive in, right?
I don't know.
Another one of these guys,
but make it supper small.
Yeah? - Yeah.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
(laughing)
- (laughs) Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
(yelping)
- Will it match with that?
- Yeah. - Oh look at that.
- That's nice. - That's cool.
- That's a cool little detail. - Very good job.
- Maybe a little circular window.
- Cute. - Or like a,
(awes) look at this guy.
I like this guy.
- Little half lemon slice.
- Yeah.
I think I got an idea. - Little window up there.
Yeah, maybe make it smaller.
Make it tiny.
Tinier house!
- Tiny, Tiny, tiny house (laughs).
Oh wait whoa. - You're good.
- Not a dilapidated house though.
Let's make it happen.
- We're making dreams reality.
- That works, right?
- Yeah, I like it!
- But now we're gonna make this smaller.
- Okay, tiny. - Or something.
What is that?
That is goofy.
- I didn't like it.
Oh is it round?
That's kinda interesting.
It goes with the round window.
It doesn't match there.
- Like I said,
roofing's very difficult in this "The Sims 4".
- It is difficult.
I think I'm gonna do what you suggested.
I'm gonna do that,
and then I'm gonna just do like that.
- Lovely.
- And then I'm gonna match that.
There we go.
- Alexis would be so pleased.
- Yeah, okay.
- Its very classic cute.
- That's the one, right?
- Our tiny home will have a fireplace.
- Yes.
- So cute.
- It's huge.
- There's no tiny fireplace though.
- There's no tiny fireplace?
- No, I mean we could see
if it can get smaller.
- Oh, it did get smaller. - It kinda did.
That's not bad.
- Hit it again. (Kelsey laughs)
Super tiny fir place.
- Look how cute it is.
- (laughs) Is that weird?
- Maybe one up. - It's so small.
- Maybe one up. - Maybe that one.
- Yeah, yeah, okay.
Did you wanna, maybe take over
and do some of the interior stuff?
- Sure, I'll help with some interior vibes.
- So we can have a true expert.
- I'm not an expert at home decor, but--
All right, so let's see what we're working with here.
- Show me what your working with.
- Yeah, show me what your working with.
The schmooze and snooze. - You got a mission.
- This looks kinda cute.
- I think the white,
I think we're going
with this really clean kinda white look.
- So, I think this one actually
pulls out to become the bed.
- Oh, that's amazing.
Perfect.
You could do it so that it's facing
the fireplace?
Maybe like that.
- Make it like a mini wall
in between the kitchen. - Yeah so you can separate
the kitchen. Oh nice!
- But is it weird to walk in right to your bedroom?
Probably.
- I mean it's a tiny home.
- It's a tiny home.
- We're doing tiny stuff.
- Yeah, we're gonna do tiny stuff in here.
- (laughs) We're doing tiny activities.
- Oh my god, look at all these tiny little things.
- It's so cute.
- This is a cute pack.
- It's very cute.
- I'm feeling like this modern vibe now.
(guns banging)
- And there goes my counters. (Kelsey laughing)
- Okay look at that,
it's beautiful.
- That's very clean.
- I like it.
- Very white.
White and light.
- Maybe we can do wood floors or something.
Something warm. (Kelsey awes)
Yeah, just do it through out,
but then can you rotate it
so that when you walk in
the kind of arrows are faced.
- Can we rotate it?
I don't know.
- Can we rotate the texture, people?
- That is a good question,
but I don't know how.
- It's okay.
- I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry Joe.
- Just forget I ever said that.
- Okay (laughs).
- Just forget I ever said that.
What's happening in that little corner area?
- This right here?
- Yeah, is that kinda strange?
- You know what,
when ever there's a corner area
that you don't know what to do with--
- Plant it.
- You put a plant in the corner.
- That is brilliant.
- That's how you do it in "The Sims" design land.
- That's how I do it
in real land. - Put a plant in there.
Tiny living with plants.
- Wow, this is so tiny
that I feel like we could just
drag the whole back of the thing in, right?
- Yeah, into here
'cause we'd still need a bathroom.
- Oh right.
I forgot.
It might be nice to have the bathroom kinda here
where the door--
- Here? - Here we go.
- Maybe we'll take that out for a sec.
- Unfortunately.
But what's happening over here?
- Over here? I don't know.
- Maybe it's like a little table area
where you can sit down and--
- Oh yeah, very nice.
- Eat some food.
Oh, that's perfect.
- What chairs are we--
- There you go, yeah.
- Come on, guys.
- There you go, okay.
- Four chairs in a tiny home.
We can do two. (guns banging)
Although we can fit four.
- That's kinda nice little sitting area over there.
- So, I think there's like,
is there a tiny home bathroom?
There he is.
Look at this little bathroom. - Oh, that's cute.
- Oh, there's like a little,
I'm putting that there.
(laughing)
It's cute.
It makes me happy,
I'm putting it there.
Like this kinda of guy. - Perfect, look at that.
- Do we put it there,
no the door is this.
- Yeah, correct. - So it would go like that.
Oh okay, I guess that makes sense.
- Yeah, that works.
- [Together] Whoa!
- Let's do it.
- You'd do it?
I was about to be like,
not the vibe.
- Oh, some sconces.
- Oh, you like a sconce?
Whoa that's wild too.
- That is wild.
- What kind of sconce?
What feel like a mid-century modern sconce?
- I don't like the sconces.
Let's move on.
- You don't like the sconces. (Joe laughing)
- That's very mid-century modern.
Oh I like that in the corner.
That's perfect thing for that corner.
- Yeah!
- Literally.
Okay, we did it.
- I helped.
- We did it.
- Okay, so we need just one window
in the bathroom,
probably right there.
How do I know if it's the same height?
- As that window over there?
- Mmm-hmm.
- I don't know.
- You don't.
(laughing)
That's important you know.
The head hight is important
just for structural reasons.
You know, they're gonna be running beams across here.
It's important, plus it looks nice.
Look at that.
It's right there with the shower.
- Perfect. - That's nice.
- So nice.
- Yay.
These windows and these windows,
you get cross ventilation,
so you get the air that flows through.
So, we're gonna put windows back here.
- Okay, I'm learning so much today.
- Cross ventilation,
it's important folks.
I kinda like that.
- Or just one.
That's also nice. - That's cool.
Yeah, that's nice so you get cross ventilation.
Okay cool.
So we got some windows in there.
That's nice right? - Yeah.
- Do you wanna maybe paint the outside?
Like some colors?
- Yeah, why don't we pick a color.
There you are.
That's looking very tiny.
- It is looking tiny. - What a tiny house.
- Look at that, hey.
- Look at this little tiny house.
- Hey. - It's so tiny.
Hey, hey house.
Oh nice.
- Yes, I like that, okay.
- You could do the top there too if you wanted but--
- I wish we could have that crown molding.
I like that.
- Eh, it looks like we can't really do the molding there.
- It's okay molding's overrated anyway.
- There you go.
That's the spirit.
- You know what, since we can't do that,
let's just do,
let's go back to this guy.
I kinda like this.
Let's just do shift.
- Just do the whole house? - Yeah.
- Cute. Very nice.
It matches the inside better too.
- We don't like color.
She doesn't like color.
She's a very all white kinda--
- Well, I think she loves color
'cause (mumbles) that pink thing,
but I think it's like slashes of color,
because she was wearing a whole white skirt.
- You wanna take over for the color adding?
- Here,
I'll add some final little touches--
- That would be very cool.
- For our girl.
This is a great design.
- I like it.
- I like it too.
Maybe out here,
she likes a little flower box over here.
- Oh, that such a good idea.
- Is there like a chill lookin' potted plant.
There that's fine.
- That is very chill lookin' plant.
- Thank you.
It's so chill.
That plant is very chill.
- That plant kicks it all the time.
- Maybe for the bathroom,
we can do a little bright color,
We can do a statement wall.
- Maybe put a stove in there.
- Oh. - She probably might
need a stove.
- Yeah, you not wrong, you not wrong.
You just right.
- Is there a tiny stove?
- There is a stove.
It is not tiny, per se,
but we could just take out
this plant and add a stove.
Oh well.
- That's the problem.
- That's unfortunate right there.
- Let's put it next to the sink.
See how things create more problems.
- Is this how it is normally?
- It is.
- It's always like this?
This is interesting.
Can't have the window up against this?
- No way, Jose.
- You don't like that?
What if we move this over?
- There it is, smart.
- Why did that not move with it?
But whatever, it's fine.
- It okay, we're just movin'.
- And then we move--
- Yes, everything you're doing is perfect.
Plus it'll make it tinier.
Look at that.
That was awesome.
- Hoorah.
- You totally just solved that.
That was awesome.
- Wahoo, I did a thing.
Pull this bookshelf off of it?
- Just get rid of it, yeah.
That way you can get in and out the kitchen.
Just little more open.
I feel like you can go forever with these things.
- You can.
You really can.
If you get into it,
then you're just dead in the water.
Here we go, I like these guys a lot.
They're the blue one.
Yeah the blue one's nice.
- Yeah, they're cool.
- All right well--
- I likey. - I like it.
This is our tiny house,
let's get a nice, little tour.
Oh wait, we should bring our Sim.
- Will she tell us if she likes it right away
or is she gonna--
- I think she'll be okay.
I think she'll be like,
"I love this."
Hopefully. - I hope so.
- Oh my gosh,
movin' her in. - Yeah!
- Okay, we'll see her.
Let's see our Sim in her space
and see if she likes it.
- I'm so excited.
Okay, let's see it.
She gets introduced to her home on a rainy day?
- I know how sad.
Oh no. (awing)
Alexis. - This is hilarious.
- All right, here's you tiny home, Alexis.
- I hope you like it
and you're not that wet.
- Apparently, she decorated for Christmas
- Oh she did that!
- Apparently.
- She did a good job.
That's cute.
- All right, her she goes.
- This can't be, if she decorated it,
this can't be the first time she's seeing it.
(laughing)
- I would assume that's true actually.
Let's see if she can pull the bed down.
- Look at that.
Oh she just turn,
No.
- Oh no. - Bed's not working.
- It won't,
oh wait, here it goes! - It's workin'.
Oh, I think there's maybe something wrong.
(laughing)
Oh, oh no.
Oh, well hold up,
is that our fault or is that--
- No, it's the game's fault.
Well--
- Who's getting sued for that?
That's what I wanna know.
- Well, I think we did a pretty good job.
Obviously, there some more fixings
that we could do,
mirrors,
lighting,
rugs what have you,
but we'll let out Alexis get the rest of that done,
but I think she really likes it.
I think the pop of color in here is perfect for her
'cause its like white with pink.
It even matches her outfit.
- Despite the rain and the potential hospital bills,
I think she's pretty satisfied.
- And you can always check out Joe
on any of his handles he provides here
and we'll see you guys very soon.
I hope you had a good time.
Bye!
- Cheers.
