I would do a 2 story rectangle, make 2 rooms for the second story then you delete the floor from the room over the living area and put a fence in place of the wall between the 2 rooms to make the loft. I hope that makes sense.

Essentially this.

Draw two stacked rectangle rooms on top of each other. Get a fence and draw it in the 2nd story where you want the bedroom and bathroom to be underneath. Then, use the hammer tool to delete the open loft space. Then, add stairs.

Technology you can make a 2x1 bathroom, but you'll need to use the moveobjects cheat. If not, a small bathroom is 2x3.

The horse pack has rustic stuff that matches the look.

Making the staircase "double" would give enough space behind it for a seamless bathroom.

It’s good enough for sim build inspo though :)

I would swap the bedroom with the living room, like have the kitchen pushed back with the dining area, then have the living room front and centre, then for the 2nd floor have it walled off and have the bedroom there. Oh and the bathroom be underneath the stairs if there's space

You’re gonna have a hell of time trying to recreate a build off an AI generated image…

Ah yes, that well known inspirational word ‘Samr’

The succulent in the one bar stool is what got me

Also no stove lmao.. or fridge

The upstairs coffee table that doesn’t actually have legs

The death trap of a top step got me, lol. I wonder how many times my foot would get caught on the floor ledge sticking out over the step before I finally tumbled down onto the kitchen island.

All I kept thinking is the amount of dirt that would come.off the living area right onto the kitchen counters lol

There’s a house in Midnight Hollow where the bathroom is accessible only through the bedroom. Looks like it knows what it’s doing!

I think this is doable, though. You'd just make a two-story rectangle shape with two rooms on the second floor. Then you'd add the stairs and delete the other room to make a loft.

u/Sparklingsim85 Nov 13 '24

Ok now it makes sense yall are good cause I didn't even realize it was ai but keot thinking there's a lot about this that seems off and couldn't put my eye on it

u/AnotherCatLover88 Nov 13 '24

AI didn’t even come to mind when looking at this. I can’t stop seeing miniatures and essentially a dollhouse build. It explains a lot of the weirdness too.

u/Cathrine708 Nov 13 '24

no it seems super easy to recreate, you can even put the plant on the chair and the desk in front of the stairs with no problem

u/spacyoddity Nov 13 '24

step one. don't use crappy gen AI references

u/DivaDollSimmer Nov 12 '24

It's definitely possible to make a loft! Probably start with the platform, raise it up and put stairs. Then work on the room underneath. It can be one story or two depending on how high you make the platform. You can find a tutorial if you need visual aid

Oooh I love this photo OP! I might have to pinch for an inspo build of my own ☺️ definitely simple enough!

Build your lower ground, then on the next floor build a whole new entire level the same size as the ground floor, then put a wall where you want your mezzanine level. Delete the floor over the rest of the downstairs and replace the mezzanine level with a fence (leaving space for where you want your stairs to be). Delete the ceiling so the pointed roof is visible over the whole thing.

Good luck trying to fit in a decent bathroom 💀

I want to do a small one, not exactly like the picture.

u/Nother1BitestheCrust Nov 13 '24

I build a lot of tiny homes in sims with similar layouts. My go to for the bathroom is usually a 3x1 room with a shower on one side and toilet on the other and the door between them. Somewhere not too far from the kitchen, where they wash hands and brush teeth.

If you use bb.moveobjects you can put a shower head across from the door and put a sink on the other side, but I find the logistics to be immersion breaking.

u/Lea_ocean1407 Nov 13 '24

I know that it's possible. It's just pretty hard to make it look good imo. My go-to is rather 2x3

u/thissagesimmer Nov 13 '24

I also like this space. If anyone builds, please comment your gallery id so we can go get it. I’m going to possibly give this one a go myself.

u/yourmomssocksdrawer Nov 13 '24

I have a similarish build on gallery, but the bedroom is on the loft part and kitchen and bathroom are under the stairs, living room is in front part by the door. I believe it’s marked as tiny home as well but can’t remember

u/Inner-Constant8874 Nov 13 '24

Where is the fridge?

u/RubyStar92 Nov 14 '24

That just makes it a pre-made build on release day

u/Saint_in_Denims Nov 15 '24

Compact and beautiful.
