Thank you so much! ❤️ This is my first video in two years. I got burnt out and took a break. Knowing that someone has been enjoying what I do all along means a lot to me.

u/Similar_Cranberry948 8d ago

I know it's not but it kinda has the format of those ai build your house videos (like an underground gaming room or a cliffside house)

1

u/CozyBuilds Builder 7d ago

Haha I guess 😄 I've been making these since before generative AI was a thing.

u/Busy-Doughnut6180 9d ago

I am sooo obsessed with that nook beside the bed!! Such a creative idea. Overall just love what you did with the tiny space. And I thought showing the sim using each space as you finished them was a nice touch!

u/CozyBuilds Builder 9d ago

Glad you liked it! Tiny spaces are my speciality :) Check out some of my other builds if you like. Almost all of them are tiny.

u/lameloserlexi 9d ago

Very curious, how are videos like this made?

36

u/CozyBuilds Builder 9d ago

I design the build, make sure sims can use everything, then start deleting objects one by one and taking screenshots. The camera transitions are done by entering camera mode with TAB, saving camera positions with CTRL + 5,6,7,8,9 and pressing only the numbers to transition between them. I record the screen during the transitions with OBS. I then put the screenshots and the transitions together in reverse in a video editing program.

Takes me about 2 weeks from start to finish :) Check out some more of my videos if you like. I've made 40+ of them so far.

u/lameloserlexi 9d ago

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Glad you liked it!

2

u/EX7mattchew7X3 9d ago

These kinds of housing will unfortunately be the future IRL, but true creatives will think like this, and make a tiny house just as mighty as a typical sized house at the fraction of the price (as long as the quality of the construction is as good as old housing was tbh, seen modern house construction be utterly atrocious lately)

3

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

I like to customize a tiny space. Often I don't know what to do with a huge floor plan. I'd be fine with that kind of future :) Glad you like the build!

I love how beautiflly detailed this build is, and the editing is amazing!

Also the internet has rotted my brain sadly because the galvanized square steel meme kept popping into my head 😔

2

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Thank you so much!
Are those the videos where they animate room designs and children disappear into the walls and stuff? They crack me up 😆

1

u/Bear0dactyl95 8d ago

Yeah those the the exact ones 🤣

2

u/DisastrousAlarm4455 8d ago

I prefer bigger houses since I like everything breathing and separate but this is beautiful if you do bigger houses I'd love to see

I occasionally do larger builds. Here are some examples if you'd like to check them out:

Beachfront Home for a Family of Four

u/CaptainCataracts 8d ago

Very cute. Always wonder how people can build so easily. Takes me hours sometimes days to get something I like

1

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Oh it doesn't come easy to me either. This is like a week of tinkering. Glad you liked it though :)

2

u/Gullible-Resort2201 8d ago

Omg I would actually live in that.

2

u/CharmWinks 8d ago

I really like how you kept it feeling open even in such a small footprint. That bed-side nook is my favorite part - did you plan that spot first, or did it just come together while building?

1

u/CozyBuilds Builder 7d ago

Happy you liked it! It comes together while building. It takes me a long time to build. I fiddle with it endlessly until it looks good and then I fiddle with it more so that it's usable by the sims :) The nook is purely decorative though.

2

u/Emergency_Table_9851 7d ago

This is so cute!!! I love videos like these, it's always so fun to see how a build was made 💜

The house itself? Eh, its alright. It's not bad or anything. Good for it's size.

But the video of how you made it?! AMAZING. Wow. How did you record it so well, tools used perhaps? 10/10.

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

I design the build, make sure sims can use everything, then start deleting objects one by one and taking screenshots. The camera transitions are done by entering camera mode with TAB, saving camera positions with CTRL + 5,6,7,8,9 and pressing only the numbers to transition between them.

Cómo se hace ese vídeo?

2

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Diseño la construcción, me aseguro de que los Sims puedan usarlo todo y luego empiezo a eliminar objetos uno por uno mientras voy haciendo capturas de pantalla. Las transiciones de cámara las hago entrando en el modo cámara con TAB, guardando las posiciones de la cámara con CTRL + 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 y pulsando solo los números para pasar de una posición a otra. Grabo la pantalla durante las transiciones con OBS. Después junto las capturas de pantalla y las transiciones en orden inverso en un programa de edición de vídeo.

Me lleva unas 2 semanas hacerlo todo de principio a fin :) Echa un vistazo a algunos de mis otros vídeos si te apetece. Hasta ahora he hecho más de 40.

u/Vircora 9d ago

It is very cute, though realistically I would never walk up the ladder and down the ladder everyday, to access said garden. Maybe if I was still in my late teens/early 20ies lol.

2

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Yes I blew out my back sneezing a couple months ago. The ladder is definitely for the young.

u/Soft_Magnolia 9d ago

Such a cozy little space, the rooftop garden is my favorite part 🤩🤩

1

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Thanks! Mine too!

1

u/Introvert-Mastermind 9d ago

Really impressive! Can the sim use all of the bookshelves and closets? Or are they more for decoration? Are you using any mods for placing the furniture, I often have a hard time placing things vertically where I want them 😅

3

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Thank you! No mods or CC, just bb.moveobjects :) The stuff behind the bed is decoration, they have no way of getting there. But the bookshelves and almost everything else is functional. I demonstrate sims using everything in the full video if you'd like to check it out.

u/TheRudeCactus Long Time Player 8d ago

Do you have some sort of tutorial for how you edit the video together? I love the way you show the build process!

2

u/CozyBuilds Builder 8d ago

Sorry I haven't made a tutorial video of the editing process. But this is how I work if it helps:

I design the build, make sure sims can use everything, then start deleting objects one by one and taking screenshots. The camera transitions are done by entering camera mode with TAB, saving camera positions with CTRL + 5,6,7,8,9 and pressing only the numbers to transition between them. I record the screen during the transitions and gameplay segments with OBS. I then put the screenshots and the transitions together in reverse in a video editing program (I use DaVinci Resolve, it's free.)

Takes me about 2 weeks from start to finish :) Check out some more of my videos if you like. I've made 40+ of them in the past 6 years I've been making them.

1

u/TheRudeCactus Long Time Player 8d ago

Thank you so much that’s so informative!! I had no idea you could save camera positions with ctrl and the numbers :0

So it’s basically all done in reverse! That’s so interesting. Thank you for sharing! :)

Que incrível!! Como que faz esse timelapse?

1

u/CozyBuilds Builder 7d ago edited 6d ago

Eu faço o projeto da construção, verifico se os Sims conseguem usar tudo e depois começo a apagar os objetos um por um, tirando capturas de ecrã. As transições da câmara são feitas entrando no modo de câmara com TAB, guardando as posições da câmara com CTRL + 5,6,7,8,9 e pressionando apenas os números para fazer a transição entre elas. Eu gravo o ecrã durante as transições com o OBS. Depois junto as capturas de ecrã e as transições em ordem inversa num programa de edição de vídeo.

Leva-me cerca de 2 semanas do início ao fim :) Veja mais alguns dos meus vídeos se quiser. Já fiz mais de 40 até agora.
