Careers:

  • Business Career
  • Photography Career
  • Science Career
  • Political Career
  • Baking Career
  • Space Career
  • Technology Career

Anyone who knows me knows for a fact that I spend at least 4 hours a day listening to all sorts of music. There are so many amazing artists out there that I probably still don’t know about but luckily The Sims Team gives an opportunity to spotlight both new, old, popular and somewhat less popular artists.

Thanks to Sims game trailers and simlish songs that can be listened in each Sims game I found new artists who I obsess with to this day. Down below you can find some of my favorite songs (and artists) that I fell in love with thanks to The Sims!

Please note that some videos / lyrics linked down below may contain explicit language and images.

Builder Spotlight: Frimlin

For this spotlight we interviewed Frimlin, a passionate Sims 4 builder with a dedicated YouTube channel to speed builds!

When did you start developing your passion for building?

Though I built for myself in previous versions of The Sims, I didn’t really start sharing my builds with the community until The Sims 4. Building and sharing my creations really reminds me of both my time being a mod creator and also all the years I spent as a game designer. It’s great for me to be able to express my creativity while also making other people happy at the same time.

What inspires you to create certain builds?

Lots of things! But often I simply want to make a build that showcases the items and gameplay from a new pack. So in this case I am often inspired simply by the theme or style of the pack. Over time I’ve also started to make stuff requested by my in-game gallery followers, or meet the requests of votes in the Twitter polls I run every now and then.

But really, life is full of inspiration. Sometimes my designs are just from memory – a house or building I have seen sometime in the past. Other times I’ve found a cool photo of a building online and it makes me itch in a way that can only be scratched by building something similar to it.  Even if the result doesn’t look at all like it, it still had a role in inspiring me.

How long does it take to make a build?

That totally depends on the size of the building. So for example, starter homes – one of the things my in-game followers know me for – can take literally only minutes to make. They’re on a very restricted budget, so you simply don’t have enough space or money to be able to spend a long time on them! I especially enjoy making a starter home right after making a big build. It’s just such a relief not to spend many hours on something that can still look great and fill a useful gameplay purpose for my followers.

But some builds – like the various City Living penthouses I’ve made – have taken many hours. Then on top of that there’s always play testing time! It’s important for me that all the stuff I make has been tested and that gameplay comes first – I’d say that was a signature quality of my builds. I find it intensely horrifying when I find flaws in builds I’ve downloaded from the gallery, so I do my utmost to ensure my followers only get well-tested builds that will play well. It’s very rare I miss something! But the other day I did leave a kitchen sink out of a build. I was horrified. It’s going to take me some time to recover from that, haha!

Which builds are you most proud of?

Aww, I love all my builds like children – don’t make me choose! Oh, you insist? Okay, then! A recent favourite was my attempt to bring Varg’s Tavern from The Sims 3: Supernatural into The Sims 4. I loved that bar and still like visiting this new interpretation of it.

Spirit of Varg’s Tavern – Bar, 30 x 30 – 169,383 Simoleons

Channelling the vibe of Varg’s Tavern from Sims 3: Supernatural.

Is there any build style that you prefer?

Too many lovely styles to pick just one! Hmm… I loved building Tudor-inspired homes with Get Together decorative items, but also loved the art deco style I was inspired to build with using the Vintage Glamour stuff pack items. Then don’t get me started on Vampires game pack stuff – I made quite a lot with those items and would still be making them now if new packs hadn’t come along!

I guess though, despite this, what I really do prefer are builds where the designer has spent time thinking about gameplay and not just making something eye-catching. I see a lot of eye-catching or showy builds from other YouTubers – all beautiful and displaying their creator’s artistic skill – but with gameplay flaws that make me – as an experienced game designer – cry inside.  So I’d say it can visually be any style, as long as it plays well with the way Sims move and interact in the game. That’s both what I like to play with and what I aim to create.

Which Sims 4 Pack do you think provides the most essential items for a builder?

Just one? Honestly, that’s tough, especially since I usually only focus on a pack or two at most when building – I have learned not to consider anything as essential. If the base game was a pack, I’d choose that!

I guess I just have to say that I really don’t think any of the packs are strictly essential, as I’ve become so flexible with building that I can easily skip using any pack item. If I had to choose, I’d probably pick either Get Together and its beautiful old world Tudor stuff, or City Living and its colourful modern furniture and decorations. But I also really love the building stuff introduced in the Vampires game pack. Whoa, I want to go back to it and build something new with it right now!

Which 5 builds would you recommend for our readers to download right away?

Though I make a lot of starter homes, here’s a selection of other – bigger – types of lots I’ve made and liked:

Chez Glamoure – Restaurant, 30 x 20 – 157,111 Simoleons

An art deco restaurant filled to the brim with Vintage Glamour stuff.

Speed Build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClOkjTkw5sc

Tranquillity Medical – Hospital, 50 x 50 – 153,916 Simoleons

Built before I did speed builds, this efficiently-designed hospital also looks great! Recommended because I think it was underappreciated.

Builder Spotlight: PeachesPlace

In this spotlight we’re featuring PeachesPlace! Learn more about her and her work in the interview below:

When did you start developing your passion for building?

I’ve always liked to build weird houses in almost every sims game but I was really bad at it. Like, putting carpet in a bathroom bad (I was also 10-12 years old). In the Sims 4, however, I found that the building mechanics were significantly more versatile and easy, and I realized I spent more time building than actually playing the game.

What inspires you to create certain builds?

Many times it comes from other simmers on youtube. DeligracyThe Sims SupplyTheGreatSymphony and Shepherd Quek were the first few people I started watching. Also, I’ve gotten other inspiration from Google. Let’s say, I want to build a classic American craftsman home, I’ll look on google images and try to recreate the house I like the most, sometimes based on real plans, sometimes I just like a room or how the facade looks like, and improvise from there. But recently I started paying attention to what I see around me, whether is real life, movies or shows and think ‘can I build something like this in The Sims 4?’. A very recent example is the Oasis Springs Canyon Park you guys shared recently; it was inspired by a quick trip to Arizona.

How long does it take to make a build?

It can go from an hour to three or four, which is the longest I’ve spent building something so far. I don’t have the patience to spend 10 hours building something.

Which builds are you mostly proud of?

Oh man, this is hard. I think my favorite one is Home Sweet Home, using only Base Game and Parenthood when it came out. Also, the Sandy Sue’s Diner and FutureSim Labs, I use those in my gameplay very often.

Is there a build style that you prefer?

I like the variation, but I’m a sucker for Mid Century Modern. If I had the money I would decorate my own house with tacky wallpaper and yellow-mustard leather couches. Also thanks to my mom’s influence, rustic/bohemian is probably my second favorite.

Which Sims 4 Pack do you think provides the most essential items for a builder?

I get questions like this often, but I don’t think there’s a single pack that is essential. Obviously expansion packs and game packs have more objects, but it all depends on personal taste and what do you like to build. Do you love gothic homes and mansions? Get the Vampires pack. Maybe you prefer fairy tale, medieval or tudor houses? Then you’ll like Get Together. But if you’re just starting out and looking for a little bit of everything, probably City Living is the one to go for.

Which 5 builds would you recommend for our readers to download right away?

This is even harder! Can I recommend builders? Check out Silrosse and DWould on the gallery. Silrosse’s builds are beautifully detailed; DWould created the Rosebud Primary School and has a tutorial on how to make it completely functional without mods. Both of them are my favorite builders and a great inspiration for me.
