Name the best builders

I was watching some challenges on YouTube and noted some ID's from builders they showed.
There are some amazing builds but I noticed the most beautiful builds are the most difficult to live in. They obscure the camera from every angle with lots of little stuff that is nice to watch at but is not practical to live in. The trend seems to be the house as small as possible and details all over the lot.
I was wondering: who does the best builds? Name them and the why you like they're builds.

My favorite builder is @DevonBumpkin . I can look at one of his builds and vividly imagine the type of sim who lives there, he really nails the environmental story telling. Beautiful exteriors and interiors, he lays out furniture like an interior designer. Devon also has quite a range, creating everything from little cozy cottages to sleek brutalist builds. I really really hope he is selected to design lots for the next expansion pack.
But, I just really enjoy the idea of having a medieval village (something SatiSims has built) and being able to live there while also having other Sims live there while also having things like a tavern or a blacksmith or a bakery or whatever other kind of communal building all on one lot.
I really like the idea of centralizing a lot of stuff into one space. But because of the way the lots and worlds are setup, I don’t know how well these things run in-game.
I don’t actually download any builds from the gallery so to an extent playability doesn’t actually matter to me. I just enjoy the creativity from non-traditional residential and community lot builds.
I don't remember account names, but here are a few things I usually look for:
Builds that don't have too many floors, since there is no gameplay for it, and the sims take a lot of time wandering the stairs. Lifting the camera takes time as well.
Floor plans that are compact, thought through in regards to routing, and that takes actual gameplay into account. I like playing the game, but not to wait for my sims to go around the bend
Beauty, which is very subjective. To me it often means generous colour use combined with colour coding, and using complex shapes (that still are see through whith walls half down), and to think as a builder who builds for a game with its own mechanics, and not a real house architect.
Screenshot of it in game for reference, it's great to play in, nothing obstructing the view of any part of the house
Ooh I love that home. Thanks for sharing. I’m always looking for nice builds that are functional.
I've tried some of SatiSims builds. They're playable enough, but there are many annoyances. Stairs can be in weird places, there can be hidden walls or in order to get to a room, you have to walk up a flight of stairs, through a hall, down a flight and then up a different flight. They're gorgeous builds, but not always functional.
Never heard of him, but I just googled him and watched one of his youtube vids and like what I see. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome! He is also entertaining to watch on his streams. I love that his content caters to more of an adult audience, nothing vulgar but cheeky fun. @CatSaar is amazing and I also love PugOwned. She is known for her beautiful pets but she is a fantastic builder too.

I made a list of a bunch of builders I follow on the gallery because I'm currently replacing every single lot in the game.
My favorite is Beatdoc. She renovates a lot of EA lots with no CC and never overdoes it with objects. Silrosse is also a favortie. She creates save files with lots + households and every lot is playtested.

Oh yeah I love @emere’s showcase thread.
Im going to second Satisims. Iirc, they did a build based on the home city or main city for the Alliance from World of Warcraft. *chefs kiss* absolutely brilliant!
Also KateEmerald, check out her YouTube channel, Idk how these builders just have soooo much creativity.
This is a really fun build collab too:
Also a big fan of plnch25, her youtube is Pch Sims. All her houses look so beautiful from the outside and also the insides are very detailed and well furnished.
K dude. Calm down.
The one who stands out for me is Sati Sim. Some of you already mentioned them.
I don’t believe all their work is functional, but their creations are often literally out of this world. Hands down one of the most talented content creators for the sims 4. I sometimes watch Kate Emerald’s tutorials too and I think they’re great.
Other than that....😬
I absolutely love building but I’m a bit ashamed of myself that I don’t download many builds and therefore not know a lot of great creators.
Gonna spend time looking up some of the creators mentioned here and check out their builds. Cheers! 👍🏼
but yeah I tend to just build my own stuff so idk many builders
aside from well very known wise teachers of youtube like kate emerald and such
but also like i wouldn't really normally play in the cool houses like those
cause if it glitches idk even where to start solving the problem
so for that reason i shall be my own best builder instead
though skills are highly inferior to probably 99% of builders i could be mentioning

Kate Emerald
Devon Bumpkin
HeyHarrie
Her Majesty Builds
Soulsistersims - I found them one day on my YouTube feed for recommended videos and have been a fan since
There are more but I didn't want a long list
Though I like Lilsimsie and James Turner I wouldn't equate them at the same level as the other builders mentioned.
I rarely use the gallery and build for myself. I don't think of myself as one of the best but I do a good enough job. Devon Bumpkin's builds have taught me to do better landscaping with my builds. Kate Emerald has shown me how to use the T.O.O.L mod in her builds that some of the best of the best use to create amazing builds.
