[Juliaarthur1]

I love this house please give me tips on how to build!

[jenjen8675]

how do you make the tiles triangle shaped?

[Sharonxxx56]

use fencing and then you can click the tile on one side of the fencing to get it triangular. Make sure its going through the square diagonaly.

[BUCKYBOiiiiii]

you can also hit control and F

[Sharonxxx56]

LoL thanks I didn't know that. This is why I should read the manual.

[BUCKYBOiiiiii]

lol

[0796440715]

nice house

[bruno2436]

Nice video and the house is good!

[sh8lob911]

Wow it's look like the sims 3..

[doubbleoseven]

how do you get the roof on a low slant.. Usually when I build a house the roof slant is huge.. lol please help

[Sammiboi234]

Use the cheat: RoofSlopeAngle 15. The number can be any number you want, 15 is the lowest.

[prstgs]

(I know you made this comment ages ago) Please help me! I have tried this many times and CANNOT get it to work ¬_¬

[Sammiboi234]

I forgot to say it's in between 15 - 85 I think. Did you type it in exatly as i did?

[prstgs]

I was using 15, so it wasn't that, and I im pritty sure I was typing it correctly

[22195Dakota]

u cood either buy the sims 2 mansion and garden stuff or u cood open the cheat screen,hold ctrl+shift+alt,then type

roofslopeangle (then a number between 15 and  90) then ur roof goes slope....and if thts not the rite info...on ur game...get to the cheat bow...type in help...and look for tht code.

[redbugiii]

Thought the cheat enabler was

Control + Shift + C ?????(then kaching)

[Sharonxxx56]

motherlode to get more simelonians.

[CutieMixes]

@redbugiii motherlode to get moremoney :)

[themonk471]

the pattern of the wall in that swimming pool is not nice

[JQRDAN23]

you could desinge my house any day

[Nerdykid95]

You should make a 40's/50's house!

[renzofuentes]

Nice house! Perfect!!! I know it was a hardwork but it was a terrific home.

[QueenOfBananaPeppers]

How do you make a deck in the house like that? Whenever I do that it never lets me for some reason, it won't let me put a deck against one of those walls. Maybe since I only have sims 2 double deluxe... Please respond

[rickput]

you need open for business. see my video - "the sims 2 - how to make split level stairs the easy way" for more info.

[Sourith189]

Yeah that's the stage, you should have it on university with the band stuff. If not then god knows, but it is an expansion pack item

[rickput]

i dont have university, but i do have ofb. and it certainly doesn't come with double deluxe, so it comes with ofb, along with the awesome elevator :)

[are92fan2]

hey sim how long does it take you to make and avergage house like this

[allen621]

love your vids

[bellsy94]

lovli gardin

[BlackBoi65]

nic house

[staceybuttercup]

like the bathroom, the way that no one can see you in the bath when they walk in.

also like the corner couch very classic aswell mint design . :D

[steveskill]

what to do:

1. Mute this musc.

2. Get Don't You forget about me on another tab.

Bosh there we go.

[TheSimMan]

What are you talking about?

[steveskill]

why did i get -2? u said u don't like this song, so i said mute it and get don't you forget about me - simple minds on another tab.

[TheSimMan]

I have'nt a clue who gave your comment -2 lol I dont think they understood it, like me, even though I did'ntgive your comment a thumbs down. YouTube removed the original song from the video because it is copyrighted. Some copyrighted music is not allowed on YouTube unfortunatley!!

[seanpussynipples]

@TheSimMan He is saying, that all we gotta do is open a new tab on safari, go to youtube, type in simple minds - dont you forget about me on a new tab so that way you can listen to the music you intended on using for this video and watch it with your song :)

[Timmioni]

Your houses are awesome the bit at the end was good when you went through all the rooms in close up.

[supermandfyr]

Hi I've watched all your videos I LOVE IT!!

Are you soon make a new house ?

Sry for bad English.

[Ladebi16]

[Andrea1919191919]

GOOD bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kiwilynn13]

[TheRealZackyZealous]

I've watched a few of your videos so far and "Wow" is all I can really say. As soon as I get my gaming computer backup and running I'm downloading a bunch of your stuff!

[peaceluvjonas4eva]

[Natz777]

how do u put like a foundation or stage into a house? i really would like to know

e.g like when u put steps upto the the bed when its on a stage

[TheSimMan]

The foundation is a 'Stage Foundation'. It comes with TheSims2 Open for Business.

[CeleronicProductions]

@TheSimMan correction it comes with nightlife cuz i just got OFB and i already had the stage from nightlife

[paloka83]

Wow, is wonderful!!!

[maggieteichert]

[Jeremy772350]

Thanks,

lollypop2301

P.S.Cna't wait for The Sims 3 eeepp

[TheSimMan]

Thanks Lollypop! Glad you like them :-) Here's how you can place objects at 45 degree angles...

Go into Neighbourhood Mode and open the cheat window (CTRL Shift C). Type in the following cheat..

boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true

Enter the cheat, enter your Sims lot with or without Sims, select any item from Buy or Build mode then press the , and . buttons to rotate that item :-) Have fun! The Sims 3 has been delayed until June :-O

[lollypop2301]

DELAYED UNTIL JUNE????OH SH**!!!AND I WAS HAPPY,'CAUSE FEBRUARY 20TH IS NEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...URGH,I CAN'T WAIT 'TILL JUNEEEE!!!!! IT'S TOO FAAAR :@.that's all for the drama lol=].Happy simming =]

[mervinchoa90]

wow, your creations are great, it makes me want to thing that my home was like that, XD

[KungFuPandaxoox]

awesome house~!

did u use Split-leveling or just use the indoor foundation?

[TheSimMan]

I used the Stage Foundation from TheSims2 Open for Business :-)

[jajatravian]

what the........

how did you change colur at the pool? And some people has a spesical window on the roof that is shaped spesicel.

I have open for buisness pets and nightlife

sry for my bad english

[TheSimMan]

You change the colours of your Sims pools with either TheSims2 Seasons or TheSims2 BonVoyage, I can't remember lol

[killerninjadesire]

You can change the pool color in Seasons, they have a section of pool walls and floors, but really you can use whatever wall or flooring, the other day i made one with yellow walls and brown flooring......now that i think of it....those may Not have been the best colors to choose.....hehe...

[Twiggers849]

Damn Audio Swap.

Trying to ruin the talented work of the almighty: TheSimMan.

Haha, this song is weird - are any of Audio Swap's songs normal?

[parokj]

you are fucking Awesome!!!

[rhianangharad]

Your houses are all so realistic and pretty, I especially love this one, I'm gonna have a go at recreating it as I dont have all the stuff packs but you really convinced me to put a little more effort into buliding. -Rhian. BTW I didn't think the song was that bad... :)

[SimsEmoFreak]

Oh no! SimMan, Jaydee, Lodelday, what's next? *Hier kommt Alex is gone* AHHH NIEN!!!!!

[FlorianBayer]

That is AWSOME!! 5 *****

[misselz100]

Your work inspires me so much, thanks

[Alexaundra1992]

Dude you are awesome..These houses are the best ive seen so far....Keep it up..

[TheSimMan]

Thanks alot Alexaundra1992 :D

[JTRound]

How do you get the roof lower than usual?

[Potatoonastick]

press

shift control c

than type

roofslopeangle 15

[ohseven12289]

i really like your style of housese. they all look so cozy and thought out. i def find the more time and thought i put in my houses the better the finish product =)

[PivotOwnageAW]

how did you get the stairs in the bedroom?

[TheSimMan]

Half of the bedroom is on a split-level foundation. I used stairs so that Sims can access the upper level..

[luzaakamsb]

This is a very beautiful house!

i love it =)!

[jasminesimplebutcute]

how long does it take you to build the whole thing?

[TheSimMan]

It was months ago. I think it took me a few hours? Over a few days though, I like to take my time :)

[R3C0N53]

I have a question .. how can u create all the house whitout moveing ur camera ?? Are u using a program ?? It's nice :P Plz answer Thanks ,, R3C0N53

[TheSimMan]

The process goes like this..

1. I build the entire lot, furnished and all..

2. I find some suitable camera positions, then pressing CTRL and a number from 4 to 9, that will save the camera position. You can move your camera about, then press the number, and your camera will resume that exact saved position..

3. I Undo the ENTIRE LOT..

4. Find my camera position..

5. Begin to film! :D

[R3C0N53]

at 3. i don't understand .. why do you Undo the entire lot ?? XD

[TheSimMan]

LOL I forgot a very important step :D After Undo-ing the lot, and start to film, I then hold CTRL Y. The lot gradually rebuilds and furnishes itself before the filming camera :D I can't beleive I left that out lol

[R3C0N53]

Lol Ok thanks :) That'S better :) I'll try this :)

[microuser102]

I loved this house and the ending with the sneaking out

[TheSims]

Wow. This reminds me of an architectural modeling video. Really cool! We've added this to our favorites. Hope you make more videos.:)-MaxoidZipper

[TheSimMan]

Thank you very much MaxoidZipper. I was actually informed by a friend of mine that it was favourited a few weeks ago, was stoked! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[xSimPhillipsx]

how do you lower the roof?

[djsteelers4545]

The 80s were great, sunshine, walks along the beach, 8 track cassette tapes on the radio, sun glasses :)

[TheSimMan]

I can do that whenever I wish...but I don't. Only difference about what you said is that I dont listen to Cassette tapes anymore :D *sighs*...they deserved a longer spotlight session...

[bryankoster1]

nice build again :P i wanna vote as much for u but only found u today, love that trip trought the house it shows interior and nice ending <3

[TheSimMan]

Thank you very much :) I'm glad you like both the vid and lot within!

[amazinghorizon21]

goodness your so good.

build my neighborhood for meee.

haha

[elliottonyt]

i saw this one on your sims account and i didnt think it was very good but after seeing this video it is amazing!!

[TheKillersIdol]

The best The Sims 2 house ever!!

[Carrie5893]

:O :O

[chakasong]

this reminds me SO very much of livin back in the 1985, ya kno?

[xbtc]

THIS HOUSE LOOKS SO COZY AND WARM =)

[TheSimMan]

Thank you lol

[deco2kill]

jheez man you tooo goood i wanna see what you do with sims3 when it comes out !!! 10 stars!

[Evilnils]

u have nice style :P , but one thing i realy do wonder is how u got ur fundement (hope u understand) got along with walls.. If i do this , i get an error saying it cant be build there , my sims is dutch so i cant realy explain whats it in english cause i havent tried in months cause i know it wont work. I do guesse its an expansion wich makes this possible ? How did u do the carport? same problem ?

Sure enjoyed the movie :) 5/5

[charzarg]

thats so cool!

In your video, are you building and decorating in all one spot for the camera?

How did you manage that?

And great house XD

Really neat, and at first, i thought that woman was peeing on the fire as a man does once she'd lit it XD

[emogurlhere]

what is this song called? this song is off of the breakfast club. luv it.

[TheSimMan]

Read the video description :D

[redroxi]

You are an inspiration to me!!

How do you like do all the different levels? Is it just like normal foundations?? or do you do it with the terrain tool??

[TheSimMan]

Different Foundations :-) With TheSims2 Open for Business, a new foundation is added to the collection, called the Stage. You can place this inside houses that are 'ground-based' and not already on another foundation. You can also place stages ON other foundations too, making...one very large, tall foundation LOL Glad I inspired you :-) Dont know how, but I'm happy!

[redroxi]

Thanks!!

Your houses are amazing!!

[Sewciok]

wow... it's great house!!! congratulations

[DANATRINGWOOD]

how do u lower the roof like that

wots the cheat?

[souless194]

Wow the backyard is beautiful

[secrecy155952]

which EP did that roof come with??

[TheSimMan]

What Expansion Pack did the roof come with? Ooo, might have been either Pets or Seasons. But then it depends on what you mean by the roof itself. Do you mean the covering? Colour? Tiles? Or do you mean its level and angle, because if so, I used a cheat to change it :-) If you want to know more, feel free to message me...

[boblesim]

where did you get the blue prints to build an 80's house, i really want to build houses like that and put them on youtube

PEACE!!! XD

[TheSimMan]

What blue prints? I designed this house lol I drew them from scratch on graph paper and converted the designs into TheSims2 :-) Clever hey?

[XoXMagicRosesesXoX]

I have a question . . Is this for all Expansions? Or only for a certain one? Or . . xD You need some certain Expansions Please help Eh I think I have spelling errors since Im trying to type fast x]

[Simzs]

How do you make the house like that... I mean like how it all just appeared did you undo everything then repeat it?

[TheSimMan]

1. Make the lot

2. Furnish the lot

3. CTRL Z, Undo everything

4. Set your camera position :-)

5. Begin to record

6. Whilst recording, press CTRL Y. This will redo everything you've recently undone.

The lot will literally build and furnish itself before your very eyes and all will be captured on video :-)

[AliceCullen34]

sneak out lol  AWSOME house

[DANATRINGWOOD]

holy smoke thats a nice house

[palace00123]

u should really badly get a job as an architect or a home desighner or something.

u'd earn billions

[TheSimMan]

Thanks Palace. I know...I know, I should be doing something instead of playing games and making videos. As for billions LOL Even if I got to be an architect I doubt I'd receive that much for any of the designs I'd create :-D A million alone would be a dream come true lol

[secrecy155952]

she's right though you'd be swimming in the cash.

[CherryMielita]

Simple Minds are undoubtedly my favourite band of all time, and that was one of my favourite songs! Combined with my love of all things Sims 2, that was the greatest video I've watched all day. The house you built was amazing and I liked how there was a story of actual family life throughout, as opposed to you just building a house, showing off and ending it right there. I loved the song and loved the video. 5 STARS!

[DancingFromTheSoul]

Geez! You should seriously think about designing houses or something! Go make a fourtune!

[SwEEtSoundZz]

This is hot....

[zomo95]

how do you take the grid away?

[az345matt]

Thats pro

[Kareliajadzia]

I like the house but i have a pretty cool house that i desing

[sadisticgirl]

I've been trying my hand recently at improving my crappy house-building skills, but they don't come anywhere near yours. Honestly, these are the nicest houses I've seen in a very long time. However with previous bad luck of downloading lots off the exchange, I no longer do that. Can you tell me how you managed to get that good at building? I would love to be able to build houses for my Sims even half as nice!

[Mochafrappachino666]

I love the 80's and I love this house. Thank you making this video. I love it 6/5 stars.

[Freebird453]

i wish i could make awesome houses like these, mine always suck >:(

[tilly1995]

great!!!

Funny ending!

: )

[AuTuMmRoSeS]

Oh wow! I found your houses, and I'd like to get them, but you have alot of the expansions that I haven't gotten yet, so the houses wouldn't show up, right?

[bartsims2]

awsome ending

[horizon1234510]

u r really good at making videos! :D
