Cabin House 

You might be looking for a woodsy element. Or maybe a snowy mountain backdrop. Additionally, you could build a summer cabin on the lake. Opting to build a cabin, instead of the typical suburban house will surely help you stand out. The snowy mountain backdrop gives you many options for the type of cabin you want. Especially if you have The Sims 4: Snowy Escape pack. If so, you can choose to build your home in Mt. Komorebi. Because of the cold snowy climate, you are able to create numerous chimneys. As well as different roof architecture. All that would look perfect with snow falling and settling into all the nooks. You can even add a sleigh or an ice rink in the front yard. The children can have a snowball fight or even build snowmen. Keep reading for some more Sims 4 house ideas.

The creativity it would take you to take a school bus and design the interior into your ideal tiny home space. The fun you would have designing the once yellow bus, into a picture-perfect, idyllic home. With a garden, and maybe even a little coy pond. Maybe even a swingset. Furthermore, the architecture alone would be amazing. This would be a great way to get your creative juices flowing. And create a unique Sims 4 house.

The Mansion 

Designing a mansion is one of the best ideas for a Sims house. Mainly because of the large space that you have to utilize. You can really do anything you want. A grand ballroom, an elevator, or a large pool. And even a bowling alley! And it isn’t just about the interior. It's about the exterior as well. Furthermore, mansions ooze opulence. The exterior is just as important as the inside. In creating your very own mansion, you have many unique design options at your disposal. You can design an over-the-top garden.

Sims 4 Treehouse Ideas

Imagine living in a treehouse? You probably can’t. Because the treehouses in the real world are small. And typically child size. This is because they are not made to live in, but for small children to play in. However, in the world of The Sims, anything goes. Furthermore, what we picture a treehouse to look like, can be completely reimagined in the Sims 4 world. Why not create a mansion in the trees? Or a cabin? Or even a tiny home? Just think of the design elements that you can incorporate. Furthermore, it can be made of wood, brick, or metal. How beautiful would it look to have a house made of glass wrapped up in the trees?
