This might be the best building update to Sims 4... ever. It was "possible" before, but holy shit it was a pain in the ass.

Something I'm curious whether it can be done using the platforms is stairs into a pool, so like the platforms would be inside the large pool, so it's like the sim could walk into the pool vs jumping in or climbing down a pool ladder. so many real pools have steps into the pool I'm wondering if this would now be possible in Sims 4 Edit: Well damn, didn't know my random thought would be so popular, lol

That one story house he built with all the platforms and sunken kitchen was amazing!! Hope he puts it on the gallery when the update/pack comes out! ❤️

11:17 this house better be on the gallery when the game comes out because I need it in my life

I really appreciate him going through how to use the tool. Going over the good and the bad.
I usually can't be bothered to read tutorials in game. So a heads up is nice

Wait! This means we can do halfway undeground basement!

All over Denmark we have these basements that are only halfway underground. You can have windows, which means natural light and we have a very high water level, which makes normal basements a struggle. I'm looking forward to be able to make a proper danish townhouse.

Platforms are definitely what we needed. I can't wait to see all the different builds and make few myself.

that 1 story house when you using the different heights of platforms is beautiful, it seems so dynamic with the different levels 👍🏼 will there be a speed build for that house?

I'm just excited to watch James use this tool in his new builds. More excited than I am to get it.

When James talks abt the glitches and bugs and issues even while talking abt things being great... valid! And also same

[cooksnipaa]

Platforms are insane. So much potential. I'd love to have the option to have half walls etc start at the top of a platform and then be raised to whatever height needed.
Just for the sake of more options but I'm aware that would be a coding nightmare and have some serious issues if you have ahead wall start at floor height intersecting with a half wall starting above it at platform height.😅

James can you imagine what movie theaters in the Sims4 are going to look like from now on?! The seating can now be properly place on stacked platforms... I'm excited for it. May I ask you to build a Movie Theater?? maybe.

[Maddel]

I'm so glad you did this video! As much as I was looking forward to platforms I could already see myself barely using them because I was afraid I had no idea how to, so the only way I ever would would be a sunken in living room space and that's it.

here instead of doing chem work because who needs chemistry when you can make split levels on the sims (even saying it makes me excited)

[Monie]

James: So this is just a home I was playing around with—

Me: Omg I hope he puts that on the gallery! 😱

[congratulations-]

My main question is can we build a room under the raised platform. Like two rooms one is up and one is down. Or a loft that has a room under it.

[BeautyMonster]

I just love when James makes these types of videos. He's an amazing builder and even though I am getting better at it, I'm not anywhere near amazing at building, so these videos really help me to understand how I can utilize building tools that are added to the game. :)

That split level house with all of the levels looks pretty good. I'd probably change the wallpaper but I'd for sure download it!

[wendolienkrulmuziek]

These platforms bring building in the Sims 4 to new heights! :D

This is super helpful, thanks! Am I the only one that wants to see you flesh out the house you were using as an example around the 10:50 mark? It looks dynamic and I'd love to see what it looks like when finished. Also, the house you showed right after is spectacular! I'd buy the expansion just to play in that house. Keep up the stunning work <3
