Sims 2 - How to make a nice house under $20 000

[ParisHoney1998]

i thought this said how to make a sims 2 house under $20

[blazingscore004]

well, for games, i recommend not cheating. because, i want to see how my efforts and strategies work and see their results, not only for games, but i also practice fair living in life...

[blazingscore004]

the most useful advice to be thrifty is to never make an error! :D (well, as you can see, when place a wall, it costs 70 simoleons, and if you remove it, it costs only 50!) also make good use of the undo feature to get full money return.

[harrypotter7514]

how do you put a roof i have a ps2 and how can you put a roof on?

[diamondkitten99]

Motherlode!!

[NotShortFunsiz3]

i think its fun with cheats!

MOTHERLODE!

[TheKim434]

@NotShortFunsiz3 You're right... I freak out if i forget to type in the cheat:

"Boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" = . ="

[preciouseloveu]

Who would want to know how to make a small starter home when you can purchase one already made derh

[xxAxelsDeath]

1 word: motherlode.

[BrokenHeartGirl97]

@xxAxelsDeath

6 words: The game is fun without cheats

[xxAxelsDeath]

@BrokenHeartGirl97 I'm making a New Year's resolution: Use none of the cheats for The Sims 2 or 3.

[eTODMily]

@xxAxelsDeath LOL I did the same but I started earlier... you know, since I did that I enjoy playing sims 2 more than I did before using cheats.

[GameShark34]

Nice.

[Navyseal564]

what versions do you have?

[torresj]

[1337Miner]

Why did you put so many windows?

[BookwormsAnonymus]

can anyone tell me where to find a staircase in sims 2?it's an emergency!

[GhostKieran]

@BookwormsAnonymus  it is in the sims 3

[missblackberryish]

Nice house

[THETOPSMusicReviews]

This is a nice house! I couldn't afford the Sims 3, so I had to make do with 2, but I still find it fun, and I was just wondering if you used an expansion pack and if you did, what one? I want Apartment Life as well :)

[sparrow5469]

@THETOPSMusicReviews I have all the sims 2 expansions. Really fun..The coolest thing I ever did was made my sim camp out on the beach while I built his beach house.

[sparrow5469]

@THETOPSMusicReviews I have all the sims 2 expansions. Really fun..The coolest thing I ever did was made my sim camp out on the beach while I built his beach house. i really wish i took pictures of it.

[musiclovinggurl123]

@THETOPSMusicReviews I don't think people really need Apartment Life for Sims 2...I made a small, three story building with a ton of rooms and put all the single people that just turned into adults into there, and if they got married you move the spouse into that "apartment" then move the other out and it gets 20k, then you get them into a empty lot and put a phone there and make the spouse move in and you get the money back plus 20k extra :P I was getting pissed about having singles everywhere.

[ferbthegadgetguy]

how to get the walls i cant make it and the roof? oh and ya all the building tools?

[FunnySimsFan]

Do u have all the sims 2 packs stuff??????? gg74

[ShinySparkles123]

I have nitghlife and apartment life I made 3 houses on one lot and a big school in the back.

[TheB0ky]

This is Sims 2 NIghtlife

[wingman6950]

i like this music XD lol

[ShinySparkles123]

How do you make the other houses show?

[JoshTiger888]

Very impressive! You could have been more careful when placing the windows, though. Other than that, it was perfect, and most importantly, it didn't look UGLY! 100 BAZILLION stars for you! :)

[Iluvcatsanddogs]

Heres a cheat to get heaps of simoliens

1.press on your keybord ctrl, shfit and c at the same time

2.A white box should appear. Type into it:motherlode then press enter It has to be exactly the right spellinbg or it wont work

3.Keep typing it in as many times as you want and you will get money every time you type it in!

Hope this helps :)

[GamerFreakCMU]

This is such a cool video! Usually I use the motherlode cheat to earn the money, but This helped me lots! And when I did it like your's I only had 1, 348 simoulions left. Thanks.

[TheCuteSecret]

THANKS!!! I'm rubbish at building houses - this really helped. :) xx

[petrica94]

Too cheap...

[MrShut1000]

[tg23399]

@cele657 what JDdaDJstressed was true. same thing goes for walls and pools. the longer way is withe the sledgehammer tool.

[seal339]

@cele657 to delete a roof, click on the button that looks like a hammer and click on the roof until its gone. to delete walls and pools, hold down control while dragging over the walls or pool.

[jojorandomsox]

[twilightandnewmoon10]

@TheHopefulSim Ok i go into graphics settings and it does nothing this is sms 2 is it?

[TheHopefullSim]

@twilightandnewmoon10 Yes, this is Sims 2 for sure. If you've found the graphics options, there is a little thing called ' View Distance ' . There you can change the settings for seeing other houses. :)

[NiqueSmith8900]

sims 2 life story

[sophianerysblackmore]

hi, y'now on movies ppl build more than 1 house on 1 lot, yea, well im makin a movie but im really stuck, i cant build it, can you send me a message with a link where i can download a house with more than 1 house on 1 lot or a tutorial showing how to, thanx

[TheHopefullSim]

@sophianerysblackmore Hi ! It isn't possible to build more than one house on one lot ( Unless you own Apartment Life ) . Though, if it's only for movie making purposes, you could make it look like there are two houses, just by building two houses on it, but it still counts as one? You onderstand? :) Feel free to send another comment if you don't.

[sophianerysblackmore]

@TheHopefullSim Yes it but I do own apatment llife but with or without apartment life I suck at building.lol so i can't make my movie :(

[sophianerysblackmore]

@TheHopefullSim i have apartment life???

[TheHopefullSim]

@sophianerysblackmore With Aparment life you can build 2 houses on one lot ( basically counting as 2 apartments) which is cool if you are just playing Sims, because you can have 2 families living on the lot, but you only control one. But when making a movie, it is much easier to just use 1 lot, and build 2 houses on it. Do you understand? :)

[sophianerysblackmore]

@TheHopefullSim yea i understand thx :)

[seal339]

@TheHopefullSim i'm lost too! I have apartment life, but I dont know how to build an apartment, or do that.

[psyckoticdreamz]

@TheHopefullSim im sorry for butting in you can build more then one if you plce a lot 4x4 or somink by 4 you can build more then 1 i have 1 main house and a gym/leuisere center

[ShinySparkles123]

@TheHopefullSim where is graphic settings i havent played in a while.

[MelodyPond33]

@ShinySparkles123 ... :)

[PreciousPinkKitten]

@sophianerysblackmore when you are in town, put down the biggest lot in the town, and move your sims on it. then build small houses on the lot. for instance, i build a house with the bathroom and kitchen/livingroom on the bottom and bedrooms on the top. get me?

[thecoolchic123]

wow its good house...

How many sims are living in thisss house , 2 sims ????

Also how many expansion packs do you have...... XD?

[TheMollyJones1999]

Can i steel your house idea its ded good :) x

[probowhunter]

that looks like butt fuck

[pixieislove101]

i think you should add a basement it might be a little over budget but that house is to small ;P

[ThePumpedproductions]

Just don't like how the houses next to the main house are budget...it sucks :/

doesn't feel that realistic lol.

[starkiss6]

LOl I love music shake :P

[humaxboy1]

u go into settings then it ses neigbers click yes then i will all come up WARNING:this may be a cause of dragging ur computer down hope it helps

[sim5191]

yno what my problem is? even when i build houses smaller then this i go over budget and have to use "Motherlode"

[ipokeyouman]

how can you see the other houses beside your lot help me please

[TheHopefullSim]

@ipokeyouman It's called view distance and you get it with every expansion pack after univbersity.

[ipokeyouman]

@TheHopefullSim how do it like do i have to use boolprop a cheat or something

[TheBigStupidHead]

Dang thats awesome... I only have the Sims 1 =(

[ilovelucy312]

is there a cheats where you can see all of the other house while youre in one particular house (if you get what i mean ) if so can you plz give it to me thx

[EnVTouchMe]

Did you use any customized content?

[TheHopefullSim]

@EnVTouchMe Everything was original maxis content, exept the beds :)

[bsbroxmysox]

i have sims so where are the options locted at?

[TheHopefullSim]

@bsbroxmysox You have a button in Sims that has three dots (. . . )

When you click on that you'll see a small computer screen image, and when you press that, you can set your graphic settings.

[HaloCool97]

WARNING:EATING CHIMICHANGAS AT YOUR DESK WHILE BULDING A HOUSE IN ANY SIMS GAME CAN LEAD TO HUGE MISTAKES.

[REX2690]

Cool house! :D

[emrahh13]

how did you make it so you can see the neighbors houses around you ?

[TheHopefullSim]

@emrahh13 It's an option that comes with every expansion pack that was released after Nightlife. It's called 'View distance' and you can find it in options.

Hope that helped :)

[ilovelucy312]

@TheHopefullSim can you do that on the sims Nightlife

[ilovelucy312]

@TheHopefullSim dose this work with the sims University

[TheHopefullSim]

@ilovelucy312 I don't think so. It will work with nightlife :)

[cutiepieaw]

what expansion nis this?

[TheHopefullSim]

Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Times, and H&M Fashion stuff pack :)

[abeautifulwhitelie]

what is the title of this song?

[penguinglitter]

Pretty nice...

I don't like it when people go overboard with the ginormous houses, or the incredibly modern, unrealistic houses, so this is a nice change!

[TheHopefullSim]

Thanks :)

[Coolguy0996]

@penguinglitter Agreed im one of those simmer's who like not to big house's this is just right for me.

[GuessWh0Iam97]

Im gonna go make this right now. lol. Was this using an expansion pack? I have Sims 2 double deluxe and Sims Life stories.

[TheHopefullSim]

I have the Sims 2 Pets, Seasons and free time, though I didn't use any objects of these expansion packs in this house.

Have fun building it :)

[TabooMasterWatcher]

at the beggining WHAT TO PRESSSSSS?????????????

[TheHopefullSim]

How do you mean?

[jewellelux88]

may i knoe...?? whre can i get the sims 2 that got style like a barbie...?? the hair...clothes....etc..

[ljisfunny]

hey this a pretty house u got there i thinking of making a video of sims 2 right now so seeya later

[TheHopefullSim]

Thanks :)

Please send me a message when you've uploaded that video, I'll check it out then !

[yianni24]

u need university for zombies and u also need an item from the aspiration items and you need a dead sim if u don't want to see a zombie don't make one ;)

[SheldenCat2001]

theres no zombies in sims 2 are there? if there is im not gonna get it oh and is there ghost in original too?

[TheHopefullSim]

I'm sorry to say that there are zombies in the Sims 2. But I've been playing the Sims 2 for 3 years now, and i haven't seen any zombie yet, so i wouldn't worry about it to much :)

There are ghosts in the game, but they only come if someone died in your house. I'm not sure, but probably if you move to a different house you won't see the ghosts again :)

[SheldenCat2001]

thanks a bunch but i read on wiki that Zombies are only available through The Sims 2: University, The Sims 2: FreeTime and The Sims 2: Apartment Life. In University, Zombies are made through use of the Paranormal career reward. YAY!

[nilelg5]

thats true when you master the job and you get that special phone and sometime if your sim has the science aspiration it will say turn tom into a zombie and stuff

[silverstar06811]

No need to worry.Zombies ARE on the Sims 2,but only if you got Univercity,and do certian things.Ghosts only come if you move the grave(I think).Hope that helps!

[Lisaaan123]

There are zombies, you just have to know how to see them and I do. (: If you have a family, and one dies, you are able to get them back to life with a ghost lamp. If you make a wish you can choose to get someone back to life, but he/she will come back as a zombie. ;P

[FireBirdUnderwater]

Or not.

[crippler214]

how do you show your neighborhoods what do you need? nightlife?,Seasons, or w/e i only have sims2

[TheHopefullSim]

Your neighbours will show up if you have installed any expansion pack that came AFTER 'University' , and it will also come with any stuff pack like 'H&M Fashion, Family Fun etc etc.. :)

[98dixiechick]

You just need to go to optians menu and click on seeable neiborhoods, i just have sims 2.

[TylerHelenEade]

You forgot to paint the walls in the bathroom :s

[TheHopefullSim]

Actually i did, in white wallpaper.

Because of the crappy YT quality you can't see, sadly...

[TylerHelenEade]

oh ok lol

[EvilSkullGodess]

nice house. could you make a tutorial on roofs? i have the hardest time with roofs. i usually just do the auto one and they never look good. HELP!

[TheHopefullSim]

I'm sorry to say i suck at roofs too :P The roof of this house was kind of easy to do. Maybe other people, who can make decent roofs, have made tutorials :)

[crikeyMate162]

how do you show the other houses next door it does not do that for me

[TheHopefullSim]

It's called 'View Distance', and it comes with one of the expansion packs. You can put it on in options :)

[Runiterock]

Its a 2x2 lot.

[LiviNFabiaRulezx0]

Good Video

What is the lot size?

[TheHopefullSim]

Thanks :) I think it's the second smallest.

[SaskiaClarke]

i not being mean but whats the point building a really chep house! but if i had that much money i would buy it defintly!

saskiaclarke x

[TheHopefullSim]

Well, it's just fun to start in a small house, get your sims a job and when they're rich enough buy a really expensive house =] For me that's the point of the game :)

[nightkiler1432]

thats is not under 20 000$

[TheHopefullSim]

It actually is xD But i only had like 33 simoleons left though...

[YvetteMBriggs]

Nice house but that's a HUGE room for just a computer, lol.

[TheHopefullSim]

Yes, but i couldn't put anymore objects in it cuz i didn't have any money anymore. You can put some more stuff in it... XD

[cooldudelyboy443]

wer can i get that garage? or a car park or i don't know where?

[010UnderCover010]

the sims 2 nightlife expansion pack

[TheHopefullSim]

Yes, but you can also download cars and a driveway without needing Nightlife on The Sims 2 Website.

[010UnderCover010]

well that's not gonna be of any trouble for me as i have the sims 2 nightlife.

[SaskiaClarke]

cool house but maybe with different colour falls or walls in a room!

[ForeverMe919]

How come you have houses in the background and stuff ... ?

[Fl13S]

I noticed that when I downlaoded nightlife but I'm ot to sure

[TheHopefullSim]

You can set that in options/graphics i think :)

[lookitsmyvideo]

Yea its Called "View Distance" It comes with one of the Expansion packs, Very Large = Far Very Short = Only the house right beside you and OFF= Self Explanatory

[drewster400]

nice starter house :D
