How To Build a SPLIT LEVEL SUBURBAN Like a Nerd - Base Game In-Depth Sims 4 Building Tutorial

Come build a Split Level with me! The Suburban classic Split Level home is found across the US and, while new constructions are rare, since it was built in the 50s and 60s there are still plenty around. Hallmarks of this architectural style include short flights of stairs connecting levels, an above ground basement, and a decidedly dated façade. This will place perfectly in any American-suburb-like world. If you find this video awesome, please leave a like and let me know what style you would like to see covered!

I pay more attention and learn more watching your videos than I do my college classes. Bless.

I wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the tutorial and for the tip you gave me. I wanted you to know, I have finally done it! I completed my Split Level house just last night. Took me awhile..but I did it. <3 You are awesome!

Where have you been for my entire Sim life? How do you not have a million subscribers? I literally discovered you half an hour ago....

1:40 great nod to the Brady Bunch house. A classic split level mid century modern delight.

you can change foundation (as well as roof trims) on different sections of the house by holding down shift. not sure about this one in particular bc of all the quirks, but I think it would've worked in that hallway. just found your channel, great stuff! I've been a sims builder for like 15 years, but it's still fun to watch all the different styles being built. I prefer realism in building and staying true to a particular style, so it's very cool you decided to cover all bases.

I just keep liking your vids, and I have to remind myself that one person cannot like one vid multiple times xd I love your vids, it really helps me in various ways.

my childhood home was a split level. front door on the ground floor w/ a fireplace and bathroom and laundry and then the floor to the left was five stairs and the kitchen and living/dining and then the third floor above the ground floor was three bedrooms and a bath. i’m glad i watched this bc i’ve wanted to build it on sims for so long

I am OBSESSED with this channel now. hahahaha It would really fun if you picked an iconic house from a popular TV show and explain its building style etc.. and did a copy-kat build like the Brady Bunch house or the Mama's Family house.

I can not WAIT to try and make this....I grew up in one...MANY moons ago!

The above ground pool looks great and similar to the one at my aunts place when we were kids. So cool. The split level looks crazy difficult. You have done amazing considering all the games quirks. The funky lighting is so typically sims.

Not only was able to follow along and make a functional (but heinous in appearance, ha ha) split level, the video was worth it just to learn the greater than/less than trick on reversing directions on things. I'm a left/right reversing maniac now! 🙂

I love these videos, they’ve inspired me to build
A bunch of homes in Minecraft!

My laptop is broken, otherwise I’d be playing sims =u=

This feels like my husband's grandma's house 🤣 she even has a bar downstairs although it's been long forgotten haha

[runningfromabear]

Thanks for this!

Curious if you could try split level Muskoka cottage? The sort that have boat houses 2 storey windows?

[everunspokendreams]

I love this whole thing. It's amazing so thank you for it. However, I have tried it..3 times now..and for some reason I can never get the stairs to do what yours do. I have no idea why!

Me following along constantly saving. I loved this, definitely going to rebuild and practice.

I’m sitting on the patio of a house just like this, lol. It’s just my luck that the two most important houses to me, both have major features that can’t really be replicated in sims. One being my parents’ 1973 split level, the other being a 1868 Victorian mansion with a wing that has a lower wall height than the rest of it. (15’ down to 9’).

[NageelaMom]

Hmmm. I'm used to split levels ALWAYS having stairs to get to the front door.

[silentsimmer]

How in the world do you get the camera to face head-on or Level like that while you're building. I know about Hotkey G, but it doesn't work while building.

Hi there, I know it's been a while since you posted this, but i need help-- around 11:40, you place a half wall in the front against the foundation with no issue, but when i attempt the same thing the trim for the half wall gets raised a block up so that there is a gap between the wall and the trim. Any idea how to remedy it?
