@cutefrutypie If you're on a budget, rather than buy any one particular stuff pack, I'd recommend checking out the sale on Origin right now. (I just Googled "sims 4 sale origin" and it was the first hit.) Expansion packs are 55% off, and Game packs are 33% off. As cool as Tiny Living is, it isn't going to have as much as a Game pack or an Expansion pack. If you haven't gotten Seasons yet, I'd say that's the pack that will add the most to your game. I've also enjoyed all the Game packs except Dine Out, which unfortunately has a lot of bugs.
If you're looking for a stuff pack, Tiny Living is one of my favorites, probably second only to Spooky Stuff. (This is last on a lot of people's lists, but I'm a big supernatural player, so I use it a lot.) It honestly comes down to how you play and what you enjoy the most. I think the only Stuff pack on sale now is Movie Hangout, which is cute but doesn't shake up gameplay very much. (I do like the style of its furniture, though, and at half price, it might be a fun little addition for you.)
Sales happen surprisingly often, and there's been only a few packs I've bought at launch that have made me go, "Oh, yes! I am so happy I got this right away!" So waiting for a sale is definitely worth it.
Watch me mash together Sims and Pokémon to tell a story about battling glitches in Penny Saves Paldea. Updated every other Thursday.
@simgirl1010 You're welcome, glad you like it! Working on a two story 32 tile now. This one is proving tougher than the last. o.O Hope to have some gameplay pics to share soon!
Soo I took one of the pre-made Maxis tiny homes from the gallery and turned it into a more compact 64 tile tiny home, placed in Sulani! Complete with a murphy bed seating area, outdoor and indoor dining areas, a kitchen, a study area, a bathroom and a usable ladder to the ocean out the back!
Only issue is for some reason my Sim changes into her swimming costume every time she goes inside. Who knows, maybe she just likes to look like shes going for a swim ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Trying to make a 32 tile home without cheating. Well except exploiting the fact that Oasis Springs has a really warm climate so you can just put the dining stuff in the garden...
For everyone with Tiny Living, here's a challenge to test your building skills:
1. Make a sim with the mansion baron aspiration.
2. Move them onto a lot with the tiny home trait
3. Don't buy musical instruments or duplicate item categories (so only one TV, computer, sofa, painting, chair, decoration, rug, bed, etc...)
4. Don't put stuff in the household inventory
5. Complete the aspiration!
Good luck building upwards and downwards with TOTALLY enough space for a load of staircases...
(And yes, this is possible. I've done it.)
Edit: Tip - wallpaper and flooring. And buy only really expensive stuff. Oh, and you have to make the money yourself. Your sim starts with no funds, rags-to-riches style.
My newlyweds moved from Willow Creek
to a 64 tiles home located on Windenburg's island.
It is an open space.
I am going to tweak now and then because I am not 100% happy with that. My sims like it though.
And when I say open space I mean it literally. This is the bathroom.
I've already done some minor changes in the living/sleeping area. I like it way better now
Well. Here is my Mid-century Micro Home, using 32 tiles and <19 000 for two sims, no cheats or MOO, only one level. With laundry.
Focusing on playability, not decoration so quite bare. But I intend to stay there for at least a whole generation even after graduation and a good career. And before anyone says anything. Yes, I had forgotten to move the trash can. It is now next to the TV and works and is not in the way.
I'm usually a "wait for the packs to go on sale" kind of guy, but this is the first pack that I've bought and paid for Day One! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to post photos, as I am on XBox One (saying that makes me feel like a pariah in this group of PC folks :) ) So many talented people here posting - thank you all for sharing!
That’s a cute build @CelSims I don’t think I have seen that cloud formation before. There is a gecko 🦎 spawner and a snake 🐍 spawner near there that I think are pretty cool.

@JojoMOMSTER I love your play area!! I've always struggled to make them look pretty and inviting, and I love how you've set everything out. :) Clearly the neighbourhood sims love it too!
Wow, you all are amazing at building/decorating homes! I don't know how to make a loft. I'm going to look for a video on youtube. I want to try and build something similar to this popular tiny house, all in white furniture with pretty decor. Anyone not subscribed to this youtube channel, "living big in a tiny house", it's amazing.

Working on a 64 tile tiny house. Went to save it so I can move it to a new lot and saw this rather ominous cloud formation behind it
My sim living here is an alien and I suspect the family are coming to visit,,

I love those string lights, may I ask where you found those? ^_^
