Am I alone on this?? «12...Next Go

JennCsimmer

Ok I’m starting to think I’m the only one out there that doesn’t like playing Multi story homes. Searching the gallery for a dancer single story for a dancer price and nearly all are 2 floors plus. And I am not good at building homes

Hermitgirl

No you aren't alone. I usually like one stories best because it's easier to watch everything while playing. Search for ranch style or different versions of onestory or one story ect and in hash tags also. A lot of starters are also one floor.
Is your sim a dancer.. as in you want a dance floor as part of it?

You’re definitely not alone. I vastly prefer single floor homes from a gameplay perspective and I know for a fact that there are many others who feel the same.

I prefer single-story homes myself as well; multi-stories are nice but they get tiring quite easily when you see sims going up and down them constantly over the course of one single day.

Wondering what you price range is, I make a lot of single story starter homes..not sure what your budget is(most of my starters are base game you can search the gallery for brenleedee and see if there is anything in your price range and that interests you)♥

Looking for a movie star type home single story. I tried building one but yeah I lose interest very fast

THIS! I was looking for decent single story homes not too long ago and I was not that successful. I finally just had to take a house from the gallery and transform it to my liking but i was hoping for something i didn't have to work on too much

SandySim

Yes! Those massive homes are pretty, but I prefer the small, single story ones to ply

duhboy2u2

I used to prefer single story homes, but when I started building, I discovered that on some of the smaller lots the only way to get enough rooms to fit everthing in for a home (for me anyway) is to build up. If my family has toddlers or small children, they are nearly always 1 story because I'm paranoid that the kids will be taken away if I take to long to answer the cries.

I'm not a perfect builder but you are welcome to look at my gallery. I have quite a few single story homes on there. Many are expensive but there are some more affordable ones too. Its under: duhgirl2u2

I have a couple of single houses I made under California Dreaming, they are renditions of real houses in my neighborhood, I believe I have them with furniture, partially furnished ( bathroom and kitchen and unfurnished. Under #SheriSim or #SherSim57

I play multi level but I prefer single level. In this rendition of the game though the lots are too small for the most part. I live in a rural area and I am used to large yards. If I have a large family in ts4 and I want a yard then I am forced to build up or put them in areas that don't fit the families. I tend to not play wealthy sims so putting them across from the goths and having that scenery for me is immersion breaking.

There are a couple decent sized lots but c'mon it's been years we should have more variety by now in lot size and surrounding choices.

I prefer single-story homes, so I can see everyone when playing, so I don't forget about them, if they spend the entire day on a different floor.

JoBass24us

I prefer single story homes too. Especially when I’m first starting a family. I do okay with multi-story homes but I build them myself. I like clean and spacious. I see many beautiful homes in the gallery but many I feel I made with small rooms and I like open spaces for easier access for my sims.

One word, teleport.

Atreya33

Depends on what I want to do. When I'm building a house just for the fun of building, I use stairs a lot. When I'm actually playing a family, I prefer single story houses.

elanorbreton

In previous iterations I always played with single story houses. I don't know why, but when Sims 4 came along I suddenly shifted to preferring two stories. Maybe it's because toddlers can now get up and down the stairs by themselves

katrinasforest

I don't mind multi-story homes, but I don't go crazy with them, either. Usually I have the main floor where most of the gameplay happens and upstairs are the bedrooms or things like that.

scrutyni

I can understand that single story houses are very convenient to play from outside the fourth wall but I usually focus on my favorite sim or the founder/heir and I like the game to be as realistic as possible. So as they earn more money, they'd be more likely to enjoy a two story house. But two is definitely the max for a house.

And yeah, there is a trade off between the exterior aesthetic of a house (single story houses are a little harder to make look unique and cool) and its convenience.

Simpkin

what's a dancer in this context?

But yes I prefer single story ones too. I'd rather have everything splattered all over a single floor on a large lot than on multiple sotries on a smaller lot.

NorthDakotaGamer

I play mostly on 20 by 15 lots, so I use mostly 2 story minimalist homes. On larger lots, single story is sometimes more convenient.

Simmerville

I prefer small homes, but 1 or 2 stories isn't important. I would normally have bedrooms upstairs, meaning most awake sims would be on ground floor anyway.

Bluegayle

You could have a rancher style with a basement for a studio? That would leave you room for a pool etc for the outdoors for those fancy Hollywood parties.

OneAdorkableGirl

Yay! More single-story house players! I felt like I was the only one that preferred one story houses over two stories, too (but recently found some that enjoyed them as well in a previous thread sometime late last year). Looking on the gallery, it was so difficult to find single-story houses. I wish there was an option for us to choose between one-story and two-story houses.

I've actually had to start making my own houses because of this and I am not very good at building, either. As my houses have to be very specific. I play a lot of big families and I love spacious rooms (because I take a lot of pictures and don't want to get pictures of the wall while trying to turn the camera and stuff. Then I like to have all kinds of objects that make each one a little different to give it some personality and I also like to have backyards with lots of activities for them to do, with lots of room in their kitchen and dining room to have room for get together's and now events / holidays.

Maybe in the future, we'll get this option. *Crossed fingers*. They did mention that there would be more new stuff coming to the gallery (didn't give specific dates, or anything), just that there were more updates they wanted to do to the gallery (after that recent update we had where they changed the look a bit and added how the gallery works now, etc). So, we'll see.

For me it depends. 1-2 stories (some with 1 story basement as well) is what I mostly prefer but I do have one building with 4 stories + basement. That particular house is an apartment building. I don't really mind the long trek in that building as the building is not long; the apartments are compact and the stairs are not far from the front doors of the apartments or the doors that lead outside. I also have so many Sims in that building that I can focus on them while a Sim is going up or down.

ListentoToppDogg

I prefer one story houses and apartments as well. Going up stairs takes too much time.

DeKay

Nope, you're not alone. I use single storey houses too. And I make like fake rooms on the second floor so it looks nicer exterior-wise.
