Today we’re going to be building an apartment in every single World in The Sims 4 this is episode 5 and we’re building frat and sorority houses in brigh Chester so as you guys know there are two different University campuses in britchester there is foxbury University and also britchester University and
Today I am actually going to be building on brigh Chester University the campus looks a little bit more historical obviously this university has been around for a little bit longer and I feel like the sorority and frat house aesthetic just fits this campus much better a lot of you guys left comments
In previous videos asking for some more student housing options in the discovery University world and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to add a sorority and frat house to the campus especially with the forent expansion pack now these will be super functional and perfect for gameplay but as usual
Please leave your comments Down Below on what world we should tackle next and also what kind of apartment or multi-unit rental lot we should build also please thumbs up the comments you agree with it really helps me figure out which ideas are the most popular and
Which ones you guys like as usual I will link the playlist down below if you want to catch up on all the episodes in this series thus far but with that being said let’s get this party started okay I know you’re probably all thinking how in the
World are you going to fit a frat house and a sorority house on this tiny lot and if I’m going to be honest I have no idea bright Chester campus honestly doesn’t have a lot of buildable Lots I think there’s only four two of them are these student dorms right here and then
We have the dining hall over there in the corner which is also a 20×30 lot which is the exact same size as what we’re working with here so basically this is the only spare lot available and If I want to include both a sorority and frat house on this campus I have no
Choice but to find a way to include them both right here on this lot so the first one I’m working on here is going to be the frat house and I’m just going with a very simple silhouette like if you Google sorority or frat house it’s like the most basic obvious structure that
Pops up in the search results but we are trying to go for traditional so I feel like this will work well we must use some of these Discovery un University Dormer windows I feel like these would be perfect for the walls I’m definitely going in with some sort of red brick
Just something very traditional and then for Windows to be honest we might just have to go in with our tried and true base game ones now I want to go in with some columns and can we just take a moment to appreciate just how many columns we have to choose from like
Since when did we have so many columns I feel like they just appeared out of nowhere I am definitely not complaining though I mean more is more right now let’s raise this house up on a little platform so we can build a staircase up to it I also want to make a matching
Brick fence with the half wall tool and of course the matching Foundation Swatch from the base game just going in with some of these base game Hedges to make it look prettier okay I just placed Hedges basically all around the entire structure now on the back it is a little
Bit plain looking so I’m going to go in with some of these Vines The Vines will just add a little bit more character to the building and make it look more historical overall and I’m not afraid to like cover up some of the windows Windows too in fact we can probably
Bring this ivy around to all sides of the building you know it doesn’t hurt I very distinctly remember going through a phase with my building where I could not build a single thing without snaking this Ivy all the way up the wall like it didn’t matter what kind of aesthetic I
Was going for anytime I saw a blank wall I just felt the need to cover it with this Ivy but I think that’s going to be it for our basic structure now the final thing we need to do is add the Greek letters for the frat house I just typed
Sign into my search bar and I found these various symbols and letters from the dout pack I think these could probably work perfectly like right here on the roof cable last but not least I’m just going to put some of these base game light fixtures on the exterior and
Then we’ll pretty much be done but here’s the exterior of our frat house all done I think it looks super cute let me know what you guys think of the Frat House exterior down below and let’s get started on the sorority house okay for the sorority side I want to make sure
That it contrasts really nicely against the frat house I also wanted to include that like semicircle patio that I see a lot of sority houses have so I’m just going to make the shape on the ground first and then transfer it onto my structure something like this would be
Perfect and then we can just copy it onto our second floor here let’s just go in with some simple hipped roving again for the main roof piece but then for this rounded portion let’s use this discover University fence I want this part to actually be a balcony too so I’m
Going to replace the wall with this fence as well now for some more columns I’m just going to grab these textured base game ones and place them at the base here to make them go higher I’m going to click them and press my right square bracket key until they hit the
Height I want them to be I need these columns to look like they’re actually touching something and supporting something so I’m going to go in with this base game exterior trim so it Blends in a little bit better I also want to put one of these small balconies
Out front to add some more Dimension and I actually think one of these new ones from the four rent pack could be really pretty I just put two like so and then added some extra columns for support now let’s go in with some windows like maybe these windows aren’t so bad they
Definitely look a little bit more Trad traditional and historic now for the exterior paint I just sorted by the color white in my filters here and I’m just going to pick maybe like a stone or a brick this hallway Stone from the high school years expansion pack could
Honestly be really nice I feel like in general the high school years pack and the discovery University pack pair really nicely together and to give some more texture to the exterior I’m going to use this cottage living white brick just on the bump outs here okay I just
Raised the sorority house up on a similar level foundation and also filled in the path here you can see they’re facing each other and we have this kind of shared Courtyard just so it’s not too repetitive I think it would be perfect if on the sorority side we went for
These flowery Vines instead there is the flowery Ivy looking so cute now I’m just going to go in with some finishing touches some outdoor lighting maybe a little bit more landscaping and then it will be interior time okay here is what I’ve added for landscaping honestly just
A lot of Base game items and then I also added these lamp posts from the discovery University pack I wanted there to be a big contrast between the Frat side and the sorority side so I made sure to put tons of pretty flowers on the sorority side and then the bare
Minimum pretty much on the Frat side and I imagine they throw like a ton of outdoor parties and be hanging out in this Courtyard constantly in fact let’s give them some activities to do outside here maybe like a ping pong table perhaps I feel like they would have some
Epic beer pong turns out here do you see that Vision as well I feel like we should also include some of these lawn chairs on the porch right here to me this is just like the epitome of frat house having lawn chairs instead of like real furniture and yes in case you’re
Wondering I have been to frat parties before however I’ve never been to an American frat party I feel like Canadian frats and sororities are a lot more tame but I think I still more or less have an idea of what the essentials are and then on the sorority side I’m going to use
This pink lawn chair I mean this is just so cute who would pass up a pink lawn chair like this also I should probably fill in the dirt here quite honestly I’ve made it kind of a habit to not bother doing this anymore because there’s that bug that makes your terrain
Paint just disappear if you like exit a lot and come back so there’s like a 90% chance this is all just going to disappear anyway which is you know not very motivating for me I’m just sick and tired of it always disappearing somebody tell the Sims team to fix it please I’m
Begging and finally let’s go in with our sorority letters and just put them on the frontier and there you have it here are the exteriors of our frat and sorority house all done I cannot believe we managed to fit two of these buildings on a 30X 20 lot we literally have built
Right to the edge of the lot but nonetheless I think this is still a good amount of space we even had room for this nice Courtyard for some outdoor parties so I think this is going to do the trick but let me know down below which house you like better the frat
House or the sorority house and let’s get to floor planning them here’s the floor plan I’ve come up with for the frat house so for this main floor here I wanted it to be really open concept so there’s a lot of room to have like parties maybe a dance floor and a DJ
Booth and then I have one little half B over here in the corner moving upstairs here is where the dorm rooms are going to be so there was enough space to have have three separate bedrooms up here I think some of them will be single rooms
And then maybe one or two of them will be double rooms so they can have roommates also as you can see I did the bathrooms off camera just to save some time so I’ll tour them for you really quickly I went for a kind of navy blue
And black color scheme here and we have these two shower stalls from Discovery University with the snowy Escape divider over here we just have our base game toilet and I made sure to put a ton of extra toilet paper just surrounding the toilet I feel like that’s a very frat
House thing to do to have like all your extra supplies just out in the open and not put away in storage even if it’s not the most sanitary thing and yes I am speaking from experience here unfortunately and then on this side we just have two sink vanities from the
Base game and then these more traditional looking mirrors are actually from the four rent expansion pack I also thought it would be a nice touch to include this paper towel dispenser and hand sanitizer dispenser from the get to work pack I figured they’re probably too busy and too lazy to be doing laundry
For like hand towels so they’re better off just using paper towel and then as a final finishing touch I don’t know if you can really really notice it or not but I did include these stains on the ground and these cracks from the werewolves game pack this rat house has
Been on campus for decades maybe a century since the University was founded so it’s been through the ringer okay it’s seen some crazy parties but yeah overall I really like the vibe of this bathroom being like kind of classy and traditional but at the same time you can
Tell it’s been well- loved and well partied in I mean what can you really expect when you have a bunch of like 20-year-old college kids living in here so that is our upstairs bathroom and then if you go to the downstairs bathroom I basically made it the exact
Same Vibe and I also added these boxes from the basement clutter kit just to add to that kind of disorganized youthful feel maybe they have extra bathroom supplies or party supplies or literally anything in these boxes but yeah they store them in the bathroom but
Now I think it’s time to work on the main area and I think the most important thing that I want to add is a DJ booth and I feel like this kind of makeshift budget friendly one is the epitome of college DJ booths like please tell me you’ve seen this item before because
This is a classic in real life let’s make sure to grab a dance floor as well and can I just say the amount of dance floors we have is kind of shocking I’m definitely not complaining but I honestly didn’t realize we had this many
It’s kind of funny to me I do still need to make room to put a kitchen and dining room so they can actually eat something I’m thinking of sectioning off a small area right here and creating a mini hallway to include a small L-shaped kitchen for kitchen counters I was
Thinking of using these new ones from the four rent pack just because they come in a blue and black swatch which is the color scheme we’re trying to go for and then I’ll just go in with these black Bas game appliances nothing too modern here this is an extremely small
Kitchen I will admit but like what are the odds they’re cooking that much anyways right let’s just make sure to put out some dirty dishes some paper towel you know all of the college Essentials like the cereal box from the outdoor Retreat pack that’s perfect and
Maybe some of these pots and pans that didn’t get put away and just live on the top of the stove and then I also want to put some more of these subtle stains from the werewolf pack on the floor again it is really subtle but I think it
Does make a difference because there’s no way these nice hardwood floors would have stayed perfectly intact all these years okay I’m just being realistic okay but I think that’s going to be it for our basic kitchen area it definitely does the trick it matches the color
Scheme it looks well lived in and you know even if they don’t use it that much at least we have a nice big fridge here for them to put all of their takeout in okay we don’t have that much room for a formal dining area but let’s be honest
They probably just eat in their room most of the time or at like the cafeteria so I’m thinking just a high top table slapped on the end here will do the trick this one is from cottage living I imagine they like stole this from a pub patio or something because
It’s clearly meant to be used for a patio but they’re just using it indoors and then we can just slap a few high top stools around it these ones are from the four rent pack and that’s going to be it for our little makeshift dining room now
If we can find Space it would be nice to include a TV or maybe a mini living room why don’t we try and squeeze this base game extra large TV on the wall here the TV is clearly too big for the space and like covers the windows but I feel like
They literally wouldn’t care as long as the mount properly fits on the wall the bigger the TV the better and they’d be totally fine with it and then for seating let’s bring in a couple of bean bag chairs and then also a larger couch if we have space oh maybe one from the
Basement clutter kit this might be a good opportunity to use that kind of disheveled look yes this one right here it looks perfectly worn in and definitely gets used a lot okay pause because remember when I was talking about my kit conspiracy theory in my last video video look at this item’s
Description from the basement clutter kit Grandma’s couch this couch has been passed down from your grandparents days it’s a well-loved piece with plenty of stories to go along with the ruthless wear and tear at this point in its life it holds too much sentimental value to Simply throw away you can’t buy memories
After all tell me this item wasn’t originally in the gro together expansion pack like this item and the description perfectly fits the groin together expansion pack theme like I am 100% convinced that most if not all of the items in the basement Treasures kit were originally made for the groin together
Pack and then they just sliced off like 15 of the items and then package them into a kit because this item and description like perfectly fits the generations theme don’t you think I don’t know you guys it’s feeling a little sus to me I’m going to be honest
Okay here is our living room so far it’s kind of like in the middle of everything overlapping with the Dance Floor overlapping with the dining room it’s giving Carefree it’s giving party place it’s giving like brat house don’t you think so if you’re like dancing on the
Dance floor and you need to grab a drink of water you’re literally like tripping over everything just to get to the kitchen I think that’s perfect let’s also put some of these gaming consoles from the city living pack I’m just going to put them on the floor here I also do
Want to include a foosball table but I don’t think there’s any room down here so I’m thinking of putting it out here on the patio it is a covered patio so it should be fine so hopefully that’s not too unhinged but that’s pretty much all of the main Furniture items I want to
Include in the communal areas so I’m just going to go in with some finishing touches some additional clutter and then I’ll be right back okay here is the bottom floor all cluttered up so I added a ton of posters to the wall mainly posters from the Discover University
Expansion pack and then I also added these glowy colorful spotlights from the base game to our Dance Floor section it just makes this party area looks so much more hype and then I also included some of these spare record crates from the basement Treasures kit in the corner
Here as well as this random like moving cart thing from the basement kit as well I figured they use this pretty often to like wheel in equipment or heavy kegs or something and they just like leave it out in the open because they don’t have anywhere to store it I also really liked
These decals from the basement Treasures kit I thought these were especially realistic because the outside of our building is actually brick oh I also added this jungle Adventures overhead light and I also thought it was kind of ironic that a frat house of all places would have this like candle light
Because that’s probably kind of dangerous but you know you know they’re going to be okay but there you have it here is our frat house downstairs SL communal space all done honestly I really like it I think it has all of the Necessities for you to a live and
Survive but also B throw some unreal parties and if I were in University I would totally be down to come party here instead of you know messing up my own living room you know what I’m saying okay it is upstairs time and we just have three bedrooms here so it doesn’t
Really matter which one we start with and I think the only Necessities for a dorm room are bed mini fridge desk and possibly a bookshelf actually I’d say a bookshelf is probably optional okay I actually prefer the beds from the high school years pack I think that high
School years came with some of the best beds like ever in fact the Discover University beds are kind of weak in my opinion I kind of prefer the high school Year’s desk as well they just seem to do everything right with high school years what can I say okay this is the best
Layout I could come up with to fit all of the essentials in this small dorm room so I think this is a pretty good use of the space and I also imagine that a lot of the furniture kind of came with the room already hence why it’s all
Match ing so now I’m just going to go in with some clutter and I’ll be right back okay here is the dorm room all cluttered up I used a lot of items from the everyday clutter kit just here on the desk like these headphones and this like snack basket everything else in this
Area is just from the base game and then on this side I just put this disheveled bookshelf from the basement Treasures kit I thought that it matched the high school Year’s wood pretty well and I thought it would be interesting if maybe this bookshelf is one of the like older
Items that came with the room like obviously the dresser and the desk have been updated recently but they don’t have the budget to update all of the rooms yet so some pieces like this bookshelf are older and are waiting to be replaced now over to this side I just
Included a microwave over top of the mini fridge and then decorated the top of this dresser with some base game Essentials and also this box full of random items maybe they’re still in the process of moving in but with that being said let me know what you guys think of
This dorm room I’m assuming like frat and sorority dorm rooms are the same as any other dorm room in University and I have a lot of experience living in college dorms so to me this feels very realistic but you guys will have to let me know what you think of it down below
But let’s move on to the other rooms now for this next room I decided to make it a double room and use these two beds from the Parenthood pack and I kind of gave it like a sports theme maybe these two frat brothers are also on like Varsity Sports Teams or something we
Have a basketball here a soccer ball poster and I also included the basketball court decal on the ground here as our rug but besides that we just have all of the essential Furniture so we have this discovery University dresser and end table here in the black
Color as well as a small desk from the tiny living pack and a microwave and mini fridge but yeah overall this room is a little bit more squishy because we have to fit two beds in it but it still has all of the necessities and the color
Scheme to me looks really happy and Youthful so I really like it moving on to our final room over here and this one is going to be a single as well I decided to leave this room completely plain and just put the bare minimum Furniture in case one of your Sims wants
To move in here themselves like I didn’t want to decide your Sims personality for you so I just gave this room the basic necessities just the bare bones of what you’d expect to have in a dorm room when you first move in so this feels really
Realistic to me this is basically how my dorm room looked when I moved in actually my dorm didn’t come with a end table lamp or a microwave and mini fridge so I’m actually being a little generous with this one but here’s our frat house all done honestly I really
Like it it still looks very like pretty and classy it’s just a little bit messy and worn out in a few places which to me isn’t a bad thing it just means that it’s lived in and also considering there’s only a handful of people that actually live here and you guys are all
In college you’re basically living in a mansion let’s be honest but please let me know what your thoughts are on this frat house down below in your opinion is this realistic or not and which dorm room out of the three would you want to live in or would you just not want to
Live here at all I can’t wait to hear your thoughts let’s move on to the sorority house now okay here is the floor plan I want to go with for the sorority side when you walk in we’re going to have this grand entrance with an L-shaped staircase going upstairs and
A small Powder Room in the corner Corner then on the left side through these double arches we’ll have our kitchen and dining room space and then opposite the kitchen we’re going to have a huge hangout space here with a TV to watch movies and just any other activities now
For the upstairs we’re going to have four different bedrooms and each of them will share a bathroom with one other person this is like my ideal setup where you have like a semi-private bathroom and this is also how my freshman dorm was set up and how I met my best friend
Our rooms were connected by a bathroom so we could go visit each other whenever we wanted to and nobody else would stink up our bathroom except for us which is kind of a comforting feeling right but yeah I’ll definitely be using a lot of my personal experience as inspo for
These rooms but let’s finish the downstairs first okay something about this kitchen area is calling my name so why don’t we start with this and then perhaps to like semi match the frat house we’ll use the same kitchen counters as them but obviously in a different Swatch of course I’m actually
Going to go in with these groin together appliances they kind of look like vintage or something now I must say that is pretty cute I think the growing together appliances with the four rent countertops are a winning combo now instead of an island I think I want to
Just do like a dining table attachment of sort so I’m just going to stick this base game dining table on the end here and try and make it look like it’s built in and then we’ll grab these nice chairs from the modern Lux kit to put around
The dining table and in case somebody’s like not down to sit with everybody and they want somewhere more quiet I’m going to put some extra tables in the corner here because I don’t know maybe you’re an introvert and you want to eat alone or do some studying or something and I
Just put these pink paranormal stuff packed chairs with them which I think adds a cute pop of color here now if you’re wondering why the sorority house is seemingly turning out a lot nicer than the Frat House based on my experience sororities cost significantly more to join than fraternities do I
Don’t know if that’s how it is in the States but in Canada that was definitely the case so because things cost more money they have bigger budgets to spend on their nice houses I’ve also just been on American sority talk and Bama Rush talk and the houses they live in are
Literal Mansions it’s crazy so I’m just trying to go off of that too apparently they have like chefs too that cook for them which is pretty sweet although it’s probably pretty similar to like having a freshman meal plan but saying you have a private Chef sounds really cool okay but
Anyways here is our sorority kitchen and dining room all done I think it looks absolutely gorgeous I love the color scheme it’s the perfect space to come grab a little midnight snack or get some studying done or just like hang out with your girlfriends as well but let me know
What you guys think of it also by the way I don’t think I mentioned it but this light fix is from the modern Lux kit in case you’re wondering but let’s go move on to the living room now okay for the living room would it be
Absolutely wild if we managed to put a fireplace in here is that like too luxurious for a sorority house honestly what am I saying I feel like anything goes with these sority houses I’ve seen some really nice ones on Tik Tok I’m going to use this discover University
Fireplace because it looks a little bit more historical and then perhaps the frame TV from the modern Lux kit and I’ll just size it down once so it fits properly in between the windows have you guys seen that memetik Tok that said like girls will have no problem crowding
Around the tiniest TV to watch The Bachelor whereas guys will have like the hugest TV ever and like not even have a coffee table because I feel like I’m really trying to illustrate that stereotype right now for the couch we need to go for something a little bit
Traditional it might not be my taste but I think it’s the right call maybe something from the base game oh gosh okay that might be a little too much maybe this one from Decor to the max it has a slightly more modern silhouette okay no I just can’t with this base game
One I saw this turquoise color and it triggered my figh or flight so we’re not using this we’re just going to use the decor to the max one actually I think I like this one from cottage living instead it looks quite elegant especially from the back and then I want
To do some fun chairs too so let’s use these high school year ones maybe in the pink color okay the living room is looking pretty cozy now the frat house has a full-on DJ booth and dance floor so they can’t have all of the fun activities over there I’m thinking
Thinking we put a karaoke machine in this house cuz I don’t know about you guys but I love karaoke like I love it I have a sing station karaoke machine at home and when my friends come over on the weekend we always do karaoke I don’t know how but I’ve honestly never met
Anyone who doesn’t like karaoke like it’s just a universally loved activity don’t you think also by the way I added this fish tank from the cats and dogs pack underneath the stairs here for absolutely no reason other than I thought it was cool we have some open
Space here and I was thinking maybe we could put like a wine seller or something okay here is the wine seller all done I just used the wine racks from The Horse Ranch pack I don’t know it’s kind of an unnecessary addition but I figured maybe they have like wine
Wednesday or something so they’ve accumulated quite the collection but that’s all of the main Furniture I wanted to add so I’m just going to clutter it up and then I’ll be right back so we can work on the upstairs okay for downstairs clutter I just added this black bookshelf from the booknook kit
And then a bunch of shoes by the entrance here I really like the look of like over flowing Shoes by the door it just makes the house look so much more lived in now for the lobby area I wasn’t really sure what to put in this empty
Hallway space so I decided to go with like a 360 couch moment all of the girls can sit around here while they’re waiting to leave or put their shoes on or something and then I decided to put a full-blown tree in the middle of it
There was a little hole in the center of the couches there and honestly I had no idea what to put there let me know if you have any other suggestions but I thought a tree would be kind of a luxurious touch so now when you go to
The second floor I actually made a a big cut out here so the tree didn’t touch the ceiling it makes this landing area look so luxurious like as soon as you walk out your door you can look down into the lobby and see what’s going on
Moving on to the bedrooms I made them all pretty generic but went with a slightly different color scheme so hopefully you can find one you like I used mainly items from high school years the modern Lux kit and Discovery University so this first room right here
Has a light pink color scheme I paired the high school year bed with the modern Lux kit Furniture pieces this room unfortunately it doesn’t have space for a desk but there is a lot of tables downstairs so I don’t think that’s going to be a problem moving on to the second
Bedroom this one is slightly larger so we did have room for a desk right here a lot of these items like this end table the bed and the desk are from the high school Year’s pack and this pretty circular rug is from the modern Lux kit and then behind this divider over here
We just have our wardrobe space so I just tried to give all of these rooms interesting layouts and not just make them like a copy paste of one another so let’s move on to the next room going across the hallway here is our third bedroom this one has the exact same
Shape as our previous bedroom but went for a different layout as you can see I went for a blue color scheme in this room and used this discovery University bed with the high school Year’s dresser and end table this room is actually really big because I managed to fit a
Vanity table for them to do their makeup and also a full desk so I imagine the Sim who lives here is like the beauty expert and like fashionista of the group and finally moving on to our fourth room I went for a black white and cream color
Scheme here I used a lot of Discovery University Furniture as well as this desk and dresser from the high school years pack and of course I had to finish it off with the city living fluffy rug in a cream color while the other girls are into more pinks and pastels for
Their bedroom this girl wants to go for a more sophisticated Vibe and uses less color so let me know what you think of this one and there you have it here’s our sorority house all done I think that it is so pretty and gorgeous and luxurious and I would totally live here
And I think it does look pretty similar to those extravagant ones I’m seeing on Tik Tok let me know down below which room in this house you would want to live in and if you were in a sor in the US let me know if this is realistic or
Not but with that being said our bright Chester fraternity and sorority house is now complete and ready to be rented out I am so proud with how this turned out also I basically did two houses in one video so if you stayed till the end of
This video thank you so much and don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it I really tried to give both of these houses completely different Aesthetics and have them contrast against each other but do let me know which house you like better the frat
House or the sorority house to be honest I don’t think there’s one I particularly like more like obviously the sorority one is more my vibe but that being said I think I relate to the frat house a little bit more like the frat house is a little bit more realistic to the college
Experience because I’ve never witnessed in real life anyone in University living in an accommodation as nice as the sity house but I can’t wait to hear you guys’ feedback and suggestions for next week thank you guys so much for your support on this series it seems like you guys
