For some reason, I have been hit with a burst of inspiration to build a really, really tiny house in The Sims.

And I've built my fair share of tiny houses over the years, but I don't mean a regular tiny house.

I don't even mean a regular microhome -- one of those 32 tile houses.

I want to build a four tile house.

I want it to be only 2x2 and somehow still be functional.

I've also never done one of these on the beach.

It is technically possible, but you have to do a lot of messing around with move objects and like sticking things halfway into a wall, so I've got Stanley Humphrey here so he can test it out for us.

He's going to be our little guinea pig.

And the rules I'm giving myself today are pretty simple.

We can only have these four walls.

It has to be fully functional, so he has to be able to fix all of his needs inside of this space.

That includes sleep, hygiene. He needs to be able to eat, preferably not just quick meals. He needs to be able to actually cook something.

His fun need needs to go up.

And I guess like he can't really do his social need in there, so he might get a free pass on that one, but everything else.

Oh, and his bladder. He needs to have a toilet. Sorry, I failed to mention that one.

I think we are allowed to put things outside. Like, if I wanted to have a telescope or something outdoors, but we can't have his main needs be met outside.

Like, it would be cheating if I put the bed outside, for example.

Anything outside is just bonus stuff in my mind.

Okay, well that's enough stalling. I think I should probably get started.

I'm going to give him a little staircase. Maybe we can make his house be kind of high up.

I actually don't know if it'll work like this, but wouldn't it be kind of fun if it did?

I know that he can get into the house like this, I just mean like if the bed is floating, I don't know if he can handle that.

Also, is there even a door that's this small from Island Living?

Oh my god. I'd have to put it like that, and it would be like kind of clipping.

Oh dear. Okay.

I'm getting kind of nervous.

Luckily, I think his shower can go there in front of the door, and he'll be able to get past it still.

I'm also kind of hoping that -- I was going to try and give him a loft bed.

I just don't know if he's going to be able to use it.

Is it worth us trying to pick out a cute one before we actually place it in there?

Probably not.

Let me see if we can do this.

Honestly, you would be surprised, like sometimes they can actually use this stuff.

Come on, Stanley.

Oh my god, he can.

How? How can he use that?

Okay, let me see how far we can push that. Like, how can we scoot it and have it still work?

Because if I can do more, I will.

I wonder if we can have the whole ladder visible.

Surely that won't work, right?

What? I mean, his head's cut off, but it still works technically.

How is that possible?

Okay, that's fine by me. I'll use it like that.

I don't even know if I need to put it any further.

Wow. Okay, we're off to a good start.

Let me change the color of it.

I guess that one kind of matches what we're going for here.

What if the doorway was a little bit wider? Like, would that maybe be nicer for the house?

What if the -- That's so ridiculous and so unnecessary.

But doesn't it make it look like the house is a lot bigger than it actually is?

So in that way, maybe this is fun.

Oh, can you not -- Oh, it doesn't let me have the fence there. Really?

Doesn't that seem kind of weird?

I mean, I guess if it doesn't want to have the fence there, it doesn't want to have the fence there. I just wasn't expecting that.

Oh, I probably can't put a column. Do you think that's going to break his ability to sleep in that bed if I put a column there?

Oh, apparently not. Let me just leave them there for now.

I guess maybe if we put enough extra columns...

Because we could maybe have these kind of there, and then we have the roof on top of it somehow.

That might be okay.

I think I want to have it have quite the overhang.

I'm kind of imagining it being kind of like that.

It makes it look like it's bigger.

Yeah, that's cool. Okay.

So maybe the door could be right there.

Um... No. You know what? The door needs to be on this side, I think.

Well -- Well, I don't know.

Oh my god. Okay, put that there.

Okay, in terms of kitchen, I'm imagining there being a mini fridge.

I don't know how far you can scoot the mini fridge and have it still work, but I think we need to have one of those.

And then I'm picturing maybe he could have like a waffle maker because the waffle maker lets him cook real meals, and he can get quick meals out, and he doesn't need to have like just a microwave or something, you know? Like, this seems a little bit more practical.

Look at the desk.

We're going to have to really figure something out for this side bit.

That is a mess.

Can you fit a dining table under it?

No, it doesn't slot. Ugh.

I guess you could have a couch.

Oh, I mean, if you would call it a couch. I'm not sure I would.

Yeah, with the way these things are clipping through, it makes them look more like benches.

Oh my god, you can't see anything on them.

Oh, I kind of like that one color-wise.

Like, that's kind of cute, and it has the extra little blanket -- could be like a towel.

I wonder if it will let me put this plant right here.

Because it's really weird, this game, about putting things underneath the bunk bed unless it's slotting, but.

I was really hoping because that was a wall thing it would be okay.

Yeah. Isn't that so annoying?

You basically can't put anything right there in that corner.

And that would have been so cute.

That's okay. I don't need it.

Alright, so he has a place to sit so he can eat there.

I don't know if I want to use that door.

I'm going to see how far over I can scoot this. I feel like that should still work.

And then you'd be really surprised at how tiny of a space you can have a toilet in and they'll still work.

Like, I've put toilets before like this.

I mean, maybe even further in than that, and he can still use it.

Like, he might even be able to use it like this right now.

Yeah. How? How could he use that? It makes no sense, but technically he can.

Let me see if I could do it maybe next to the fridge.

I don't even necessarily need to have it scooted so bad if he can use it like this.

Oh, he can.

100

Can you cook something?

101

Like, say you wanted to get some canned water.

102

Oh, he's cooking on his own. Well, I think that answers that question.

103

He got his canned water. He's making himself some waffles.

104

Can I sell that?

105

I wonder if we could scoot this even further back then.

106

Because if it goes way far back, I don't really mind that.

107

I would be okay with trying to cover it.

108

No, we can't collect the waffles.

109

I feel like it needs to be over half in the room.

110

I remember having some really weird difficulties with the fridges.

111

Yeah, that's fine. Ever so slightly.

112

Can you get leftovers?

113

Yes. Okay, good.

114

So there's his toilet and his kitchen.

115

We could probably have his shower be right there in the kitchen too because he should be able to use that.

116

I mean, like, you could even put it like this, and I'm pretty sure he can still use it.

117

Can you? Oh, never mind. I lied.

118

I mean, this thing could go anywhere. That's not really the biggest of concerns.

119

I need to find him a better door and maybe another window.

120

This one is Laundry Day.

121

It matches okay, but it's also not really in the way of anything, so.

122

Let me see about TVs.

123

I feel like this one -- It's like I want to use it, but I also feel like maybe it's cheating.

124

That's silly though, to say that it's cheating, isn't it?

125

I'm trying to look at this and think if there was a way I could get a desk and a computer in here because you could put a TV and a radio on any wall.

126

It doesn't necessarily have to be that one, but like could I sneak in this tiny, tiny, tiny desk?

127

Oh, you know what actually?

128

Let's go back to having the TV because I have a couch.

129

We don't need to have a desk.

130

We've canceled that. We can watch TV and read and dance and stuff.

131

I'm not going to lie, I just had an idea that I thought was genius, and it like poofed out of my mind.

132

I was going to put something underneath this, and now I can't remember what it was.

133

Oh, a dresser. I was going to get a dresser. There we go.

134

I felt like I was losing my mind for a second there.

135

Okay, Island Living.

136

I want to see -- None of these are going to work, but I just want to see if there's anything from this pack that I might want to add in.

137

Oh, actually, these cabinets are -- Well, never mind. That's too big.

138

Always a good idea in theory. Doesn't really quite work out in practice.

139

Yeah, look. Dresser -- huge. That simply will not do.

140

I think one thing that we can do is start getting some shelves to put above the kitchen.

141

Oh, that does not work.

142

Are those placing on like different walls? What's happening here?

143

They're different sizes. That is so weird.

144

Okay, I don't know if he can still use this.

145

Can you try?

146

Oh, yeah. He can. Okay.

147

Maybe I'll raise that up a tiny bit more because we can put like some kitchen shelving stuff on this, and I feel like that would be nice for him to have.

148

Oh, maybe since I'm using the Sleek Bathroom kit, we could put the Sleek Bathroom kit shower.

149

We might as well. It's a little bit fancier.

150

Kind of exciting, to be honest.

151

Yeah, let's do that in silver.

152

The idea of showering right next to your TV.

153

I mean, like literally, you may as well be showering inside of your TV at this point.

154

I can't imagine that that would be recommended.

155

I'm struggling to see how anyone would want you to do that.

156

I wonder if we could also have some -- Do these like work next to each other?

157

Yeah, they do. Okay.

158

I was going to say, I wonder if -- That's a bit high up. Stanley, can you sleep there?

159

No. What about now if it doesn't go all the way across?

160

Well, he can watch TV.

161

You really cannot sleep there?

162

Is it this one?

163

Oh. Oh, maybe it's my -- You know what?

164

I was testing this stuff with the toilet.

165

I didn't test to see if he could get up with the toilet.

166

I might need to have the toilet be a little bit closer.

167

Stan. Oh no. Is it the toilet?

168

Can I put his bed even further over?

169

Oh my god. No.

170

Is it this? Surely it's not that.

171

It must be the toilet.

172

No, actually, I don't even -- I don't agree with that.

173

I don't think it is the toilet.

174

Oh, it was going so well.

175

It was the toilet. He can go up now.

176

Okay, we're going to need to rethink this.

177

I've scooted it over again.

178

He can still get up. Okay.

179

You stay up there for a second, bestie.

180

Well, let me see if I can make the toilet work like this.

181

Okay, we need a new toilet solution.

182

Perhaps that could be the toilet being over here. Well, that's better.

183

Can you still sit on this couch?

184

Yeah, okay. Okay.

185

Where did my shower go? Oh, back here.

186

I wonder if I could have the shower -- Oh, that's like hanging into the toilet.

187

Can you shower? No.

188

It's worth a shot.

189

I don't think he's going to have a sink.

190

Well, I mean, maybe we can make a sink work.

191

What's the smallest one? Oh my god.

192

Sometimes I've used this one and put it like in the wall.

193

I'm not sure it's worth it.

194

You don't need a sink. He can just shower.

195

Can you get upstairs again?

196

Yeah, okay.

197

"Upstairs." That's one way of putting it.

198

I might scoot this way over because I think he should still be able to use it.

199

Yeah, okay.

200

The more space we have elsewhere, the better, right?

201

I wonder if there's some kind of rug that looks like tile that I could put on the floor specifically under the shower and under the kitchen so that we could have it seem like it's something separate.

202

I mean, this one's fine, but it's not ideal.

203

Sometimes I think about this one, but I don't really like that.

204

Does this have the same -- Ugh, I was hoping it'd be like actually orange.

205

The swatches on this are so weird. They don't match anything.

206

I kind of like that though.

207

Does that seem like it could be a tile mat underneath the -- Hey, you know what else we don't have? Any windows.

208

We have zero windows anywhere in this whole place.

209

Oh dear. Doing this window and then being able to see the rest of the bed that's cut out is terrible.

210

Yeah, and like that one, you can see the rest of the sofa.

211

Oh my god. I'm wondering about this Businesses and Hobbies window because that might be okay if we put it up above the bed.

212

It's kind of pretty honestly.

213

I'm trying to think if there's something I can do to cover the rest of the bed.

214

Like, do you think if I put that there, he'd still be able to sleep in it?

215

Because technically that's in the bed.

216

Oh, he's fine. Okay, that would help.

217

Because we could maybe build out some kind of like little box for ourselves.

218

I'm thinking a lot of landscaping is going to have to be used to hide the weird clipping as well.

219

That's alright though. And they have windows now, which is good.

220

Okay, I still don't have a dresser.

221

I don't think we're going to be able to have one. I can definitely get a mirror though.

222

And you can do the same -- Can't you do the same things in them? I don't really remember.

223

Oh, these are like way bigger than I thought they would be.

224

For some reason, I had in my head that they were going to be really skinny, but I guess the TV is even skinnier.

225

I mean, we can at least put one of these shelves right here because it's something to use up the space.

226

That is horrible. The mirror being right there.

227

Can you practice speech?

228

Yep, sure can.

229

Can you use the bathroom? Can you sit on the couch?

230

Yeah, he can even sit there.

231

Okay, well if he needs to, he can stand there and stare at himself while he pees.

232

Well, now I'm kind of curious if I can go back to having this shelf again.

233

Yes! Okay, so because it was the toilet before, so he can have that back. Perfect.

234

Get out again, please. Stanley, sorry.

235

I keep the sending him back and forth is so annoying.

236

I feel bad for him, but.

237

I wonder if we could give him a little pillow.

238

Do you think he can still get in the bed if there's a pillow here?

239

I feel like if I had to guess, I think I would assume yes on that because they can sit on the couches with the pillows there.

240

Yes. The fact that his head's that far out. Don't worry about it. It's fine.

241

We mustn't dwell on things that we cannot control.

242

You know, I decided to get rid of that little thing that was down here.

243

I think I want to switch this and maybe use a poof or something instead of having the storage.

244

Because I like the idea in real life -- I mean, you wouldn't do this in The Sims -- but in real life, you'd be able to pull that out and have extra seating elsewhere.

245

Okay, I'm looking at everything from the Party Essentials kit because I would like to give them a little bit of tile.

246

Um, never mind.

247

What if we used the one? Is it from the Kitchen Clutter kit?

248

Yeah, they have tile from this. That might work a little bit better.

249

Having a hard time picking up this wall.

250

Okay, there we go.

251

Let me pick the color separately and then put it back in there.

252

Yellow? White?

253

Maybe this white color could be good.

254

Okay, we just got to really carefully really custom alt-place this stuff.

255

Oh. Being really annoying to try and place.

256

Why do you think I was able to place it lower but not up here?

257

Stanley, can you get out please?

258

I cannot see a single thing I'm looking at.

259

I'm going to try it again. Maybe without the shelves there.

260

Oh, you know what we could do is place it like this and then raise it up.

261

I got it. Okay, that's actually really beautiful.

262

It is clipping, but that's okay.

263

Okay, I'm going to have to cover up so much clipping, like what's a tiny bit more, you know?

264

You know, I actually really like this because now I can put other wallpaper inside, and I can even be behind this and still have it look nice. I don't have to have the whole thing be tile.

265

I think I'm deciding I don't like the shelf up there.

266

I wanted to, but I think I don't.

267

Hm. Maybe I'll just do some artwork instead of trying to put more random things.

268

Ooh, what about the fish? That's actually so cute.

269

Let me put this here, and I'll make sure I raise it up to a good spot.

270

And then we can just get some nice kitchen stuff in here.

271

Oh, you know what?

272

Actually, a little dish rack. That would be so useful.

273

Because that kind of doubles both as dish storage and as a place for him to wash his dishes.

274

I mean, I suppose he'd have to wash them in the shower and then like climb up and put them all the way up there at the ceiling.

275

Okay, I put a little set of utensils here on the counter too.

276

And then he's got his storage.

277

I think the inside of this might be done.

278

It's fully functional. We just got to figure out the outside and how we're going to cover up everything being really weird.

279

But this is where the beauty of landscaping comes in.

280

This is why I wanted to build it as a beach house because I figured that we would have a lot of stuff from Island Living to cover it up with.

281

Okay, I guess I'm putting that all the way under everything.

282

Oh, I kind of like it like that. I think that's kind of cool.

283

And we could get a couple little bits more over here so we can have more plants elsewhere.

284

It's like some of them we kind of need to use to block the front of the house so that you can't see it that well.

285

Alright. Can I put one of these over here and maybe size one down to go next to it? Okay.

286

And then I think I want to have -- Oh, see? Like this. Sorry, Stanley.

287

But this is good because that covers up the clipping of the fridge pretty well.

288

It's still there, of course, but you can't really see it.

289

Let's do it in orange.

290

I might get a palm tree on that side and maybe another palm tree on this side.

291

I love this palm tree. Okay, that's beautiful.

292

Now, we got to get something tall to hide the back of this.

293

It could be bushes. I can't remember...

294

How big is -- Oh, that's way too small. That simply won't do.

295

That's clipping into the -- Oh, it's actually not clipping into the house.

296

How does that look? It covers up a good chunk of it.

297

Okay, and maybe the solution is not to cover it perfectly, but to cover it mostly.

298

And then maybe as long as there's enough things around, it will distract the eye so much that you won't even realize that we're trying to hide something.

299

In some ways, it almost just looks like wall detailing.

300

Like, when you look at it from this angle, you think, oh, there's some pretty wood on the outside.

301

And almost like this too could just pass as like an outdoor exterior ladder or something.

302

Wow, you know what? I'm actually really pleasantly surprised by this.

303

When in doubt, just completely cover the whole thing up.

304

The solution is just to -- Oh, the toilet is visible.

305

Oh, okay. I think we need to try and make it so that this tree is maybe like in there because that hides it pretty well.

306

Okay, no more toilet for us. Good.

307

These are Jungle Adventure. They're not from Island Living, but they're tropical. We could still use them.

308

Nah, I don't like it. I might use some big ones.

309

Like, what if I had one of these super tall palm trees?

310

I just love the idea of being able to see the ocean from the front of the house still.

311

And like with the palm trees there, it doesn't actually block it that much.

312

Should we put a couple beach towels on the floor outside?

313

I do really like them.

314

Oh, I love that with the flamingo. That's so cute!

315

Okay. Huh. I think maybe we could use a little bit more color back here in a couple of places.

316

Maybe that comes from another one of these fluffy orange trees.

317

Okay, I think that's better.

318

Wow, that's a 2x2 tiny house.

319

I'm going to do one final triple check that he can use everything.

320

I'll make him like use the bathroom, take a shower.

321

Oh my god. What do you mean? Why can't you come inside?

322

Locked? I don't know what this lock business means. Oh my god.

323

What if it doesn't work?

324

It worked before.

325

I'm going to reload it and see if that helps.

326

Stanley, if you don't walk inside right now, I might actually start crying.

327

Oh. Oh, I thought he was going to do it.

328

Why can't he get inside?

329

Is it the -- like, did the landscaping stop it?

330

Is it because I put stuff too close underneath the stairs?

331

Surely that's not it. I've done this kind of thing before.

332

Oh. Oh my god, it actually was.

333

Okay, well let's just make sure it's not too close then.

334

We'll leave it at that possibly.

335

Alright. Toilet.

336

No, that's in the way again. Oh my god.

337

Also, this is clipping.

338

Wow. Toilet?

339

It's the plants?

340

I am like so surprised by that development.

341

I never would have expected the plants under the house to do that.

342

Okay, he can use the bathroom now.

343

Shower successfully.

344

He can get into his bed.

345

Let's see if he can get some leftovers.

346

Oh, you can't get to the fridge?

347

Oh, no. Do you think it's from this?

348

Uh-oh. I think maybe I had these rotated a weird way.

349

Like, maybe when they were rotated this way before it was better.

350

Can you cook?

351

Alright, Stanley my dear, you might not be able to have shelves anymore.

352

Oh, it wasn't the shelves.

353

Is it just this fridge in general?

354

Why? There's not even really any plants in it.

355

Like, I mean, the big orange tree technically is, but the footprint of this is really small.

356

Like, the game only thinks that it's as big as that green tile, so that shouldn't be blocking anything.

357

The only other thing that I feel like could be impacting it since I changed everything around is the tile, but I can't imagine the tile would be doing it, right?

358

Like, that would be so weird.

359

No. Now I've just broken everything.

360

I'll try and scoot the tree just in case that is actually it.

361

And it was the tree. Okay.

362

Well, I really didn't think that was going to be it.

363

I felt really confident that it was not the tree.

364

And now I've gone and ruined everything.

365

Well, now I'm going to try and put some of my decor back because if I had known I'd be able to keep them, I would have.

366

Oh, we could use a different dish rack this time. I kind of prefer that one.

367

Watch. Now it's going to break again.

368

Oh, never mind. I lied. It's fine.

369

You know what? I don't even want to put tile back.

370

I don't even care about that. I'm going to leave it like this.

371

This was such a journey, wasn't it?

372

But we managed. We made a 2x2 house that is functional.

373

I'm going to put it on the gallery for you.

374

I would hesitate to say it's one bedroom or one bathroom.

375

I might leave it at zero for both of those.

2x2 micro home.

377

Okay, I am uploading it now.

378

I hope that you enjoyed this video. This was actually fun for me.

379

I know I might have seemed like I was stressed, and I was a little bit, but I like to be stressed doing a build challenge.

380

I just love this kind of thing.

381

It's like my favorite thing to do in The Sims. I love a build challenge.

382

Well, I said that, but it's been spinning for a while.

383

It's kind of starting to make me nervous.

384

Timed out during upload. Weird.

385

Okay, I'll try again. I should have saved before I tried again.

386

Alright. Well, it doesn't want to be uploaded.

387

So maybe I'll just stop trying right now and try again later.

388

Hopefully, I'll have it up by the time this video is posted, but if it's not, don't blame me. You blame the game, okay?

389

But thank you so much for hanging out with me today. Thank you for watching.

390

And with that, I'm going to go, and I will catch you all tomorrow, okay?

391

Bye everybody.

392

You know, I love building these kind of tiny houses.

393

I would never play in this house.

394

Honestly, I would never.

395

Wait, I -- Oh my god, I forgot a trash can.

396

Maybe it's a good thing the house isn't uploaded yet. I can fix that now.

397

Don't worry, I put one down. It's fine. Everything's fine.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
