Building a Modern Beach House in The Sims 4

TLDRIn this video, I step out of my comfort zone and attempt to build a modern beach house in The Sims 4. Despite my preference for traditional architecture, I take inspiration from a beach house plan and incorporate stone accents and vertical panels. Due to gameplay limitations, I have to be creative with adding a pool, resulting in a second-story pool. I also share some personal updates about my cat's surgery and wedding planning.

Key insights

🏡Despite not being a fan of modern architecture, I embrace the challenge of building a modern beach house in The Sims 4.

🏖️I pick a lot in the Sulani world, known for its beach vibes, and design a house that is literally on the beach.

💦Due to gameplay limitations, I have to get creative with adding a pool and end up incorporating a second-story pool.

🌴I use lush landscaping, including plants from Island Living and For Rent, to create a tropical and beachy feel around the house.

💍Alongside building, I share personal updates about my cat's surgery and my wedding planning, including meeting with a florist and attending a catering tasting.

Q&A

Why did you choose the Sulani world for your beach house?

Sulani is a beach world in The Sims 4 that provides the perfect setting for a beach house. I wanted the house to be directly on the beach but not on the water.
