Yes, I know, it's cream and I'm cream,

but we're gonna put things on the walls

because we're going to be decorating

much like in today's video,

I am decorating my dream house in the Sims 4.

It was going to be building my dream house in the Sims 4,

but I filed for an hour and a half yesterday

and then realized,

I hadn't even clicked the screen record button, so.

(wind whistling)

We're gonna start with this beautiful empty shell

and take it from there.

Thanks to everyone on Twitter

who gave me advice and said that it was fine,

no one really cared about the building anyway,

they just wanted to see the fun decorating stuff.

This video is sponsored by Skillshare

where you can learn many clever things,

like how not to be a ninny

and forget to actually record your screen.

But also, basic interior design,

which you'll see me exercising today,

and they even have a new class on how to be a Youtuber.

I mean, again, does not include instructions on

how to record your screen.

But it does include Youtuber Sorelle Amore's

favorite tips and techniques

for building up a devoted online following.

Using examples from her own past content

and other creators she loves.

After taking this class

you're gonna be empowered to be your true self on camera,

share authentically with your followers

and to build a large following that can't get enough

of the real you.

Always the most important thing on YouTube I think.

Just be the real you.

it's YouTube.

And now let's test my Skillshare aided skills

as an interior designer.

So, as you're joining me, I made a few little alterations

to the outside of the house.

I mean, I say a few little alterations,

it looks so much better now.

Yay,

yay. (voices cheering)

I basically just didn't show the building aspect

because obviously forgot to record.

And then when I changed it from that,

I thought there were so many Tweets that just said,

we don't really care, Jessica,

we just want to see the decorating on the inside.

So, I saved us all a lot of time

with my slow slow building.

My building is in fact so slow

that this house looks okay from the outside.

But from the back, as you can see,

it needs some work.

On the inside, it's bare, there's nothing.

So we're now going to decorate the house.

But I'll give you a little tour first,

I'll show you around, I'll tell you my choices.

Can I just say,

putting roofs on this was the hardest thing

I have had to do.

There's so many different roof types.

I've been watching a lot of Plumbella though,

so if this house looks like something she's made before,

I apologize, it's not intentional.

It's just she's seeped into my psyche.

One of the things you can really see in this house

in the way that she has sunk into my brain

is putting little columns on the edges of things.

Which I have just done all the way around here.

And it looks so lovely.

It's very charming.

I've gone for a Edwardian,

my wife calls this Edwardian neo gothic.

Down here we have a garden that should be looking lovely,

but unfortunately, for some reason it's decided,

even though it's spring,

the plants aren't gonna look nice.

Maybe I'll come back and revisit this house in the summer

and it will look beautiful.

Let's get decorating.

So obviously I've done windows.

It's particularly dark, though.

Why is it so dark?

I really don't know.

Let's get some doors in

and see if that helps matters.

I don't know why it would,

but maybe, maybe it will.

So the front door, I've just gone for this one

because it blends in with the lovely stone.

Again, we're pretending it's bath stone, it's delightful.

Oh, I wonder if it's like the outside but brown.

That one?

No.

Not quite the Edwardian look we're going for though.

Oh, oh, this is beautiful.

Ah, delightful.

Is this a bit weird?

It's fine, it's fine.

It's ridiculous.

That ones cute, I like it.

Oh, maybe.

I love it, I love it, I love it.

Oh, I think that's okay.

I think that's okay.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm,

hm,

hm,

hm?

The bathroom, yes.

Stunning.

Whoops.

Wow, these are all hideous.

I mean, does that even vaguely, oh.

(moaning)

I can't see.

No, not the red and orange, disgusting.

Oh look at that, see it's nice.

That's nice.

This kitchen is actually the same color-ish

as the kitchen that we're going to be putting

into our new house, which is very...

Into our new house, we're redoing the new house.

We live in the new house now,

we have done for about eight months.

But it's gonna be this nice dark green

that I'm really interested in.

I know it's a bit of a departure,

a bit of a daring color for a kitchen,

but I really like it.

And then the same kind of marbley worktops.

I'm actually pretty shocked.

Somehow the Sims has managed to replicate this.

Our kitchen won't be this exact design, I have to say,

and I wish, it's nice.

I like it, oh.

I don't know.

So far I just have items in this room,

that I quite like.

It'd be good if there's a trunk.

Obviously you have to have

this beautiful little world mixology thing

that I'm obsessed with.

Okay, what else do we need a drawing room?

Best kind of things that we could have

would be some delightful sofas.

Something quite fancy,

something that says, we don't have children in this room.

Oh, I could go for a green.

The green would definitely mirror the greens

throughout the rest of the house.

Why am I putting a piano in the house

when neither of the people play the piano?

Oh I'm gonna have to turn it

in a non diagonal fun fashion.

Upstairs we have got,

well upstairs we've only got really one room so far,

which is my, oops, (laughing)

I just realized that's my filming room,

here's all my filming stuff.

Oh, because that's what you do with the spare bedroom,

you make YouTube videos.

I really like white doors.

We don't have any white doors in our house,

but I really like white doors,

and I'd like to paint them all white.

All right, let's do a quick little bathroom.

It's not very big,

so I think we're just gonna have to go with the basic.

A little sink, a nice toilet.

A nice toilet.

And I personally really don't like showers,

but my wife does.

Oh there we go, compromise,

shower and a bath all in one.

Delightful.

Give me a nice mirror,

that's all I'm asking for.

Oh, that fits downstairs, that's cute.

But not right for here.

Awe, okay.

Now we've made the bathroom slightly pretty.

Can I put curtains in the bathroom?

What kind of curtains should we have in our bathroom,

just something small,

she says going for royal wedding swag.

(moaning)

Uh-uh.

All right moving on.

This our bedroom in here.

Let's make it lovely.

Right, we're gonna want to put,

where are we gonna put the bed?

Number one concern.

(singing)

I still find it weird

that the bushes are in with the beds, but.

Oh I guess this is a bit like our current bed.

We just have to find it in a shade

that works with this room.

That's horrible.

Okay, no, call it off, call it off.

Oh, no.

(winces) No.

Why do you not, why, why do you do this to me?

Why?

All that I'm asking for is an attractive bed.

Bedroom done, let's move onto baby room

for the absolutely nonexistent baby.

Going for the flowery wardrobe,

but we've got a bit flowery wallpaper,

but we've got a little bit kind of gender neutral

whatever happens happens.

Also I'm really just not into super pink, super blue.

So we've got a bear chair in there.

Should we have a little bookshelf?

A little bookshelf would be cute, wouldn't it?

Oh, this one's pastel, I think I'd rather this one.

Awe, see now that's cute, that's cute, isn't it?

I like that.

Decorative items.

Let's not put any creepy gnomes in there.

(jaunty music)
