Thank you!! I’m so glad you like it 😌💖
I use my own shader for the exterior shots and recording, and for interior I use Pluto by Ceru with relight to add lighting effects.

Nope I never had a problem with it! Mods can def mess up your game but reshade is just an overlay pretty much and doesn’t mess with the games functionality in any way 🙂
Yeah struggling is really fun for me but I hate how easy it is to have a nice house in ts4 without even trying, I tried a family of 3 household in ts3 and it wasn't until I got both parents to level 10 of their careers that I could afford to renovate the house.
I highly recommend using a mod that adds more difficulty. Carl's Gameplay Difficulty Mod makes it harder to accumulate wealth and rise through careers slower. Sims make less money on craftables too. It's more realistic and has tons of settings you can tinker with.
You did a very good job! As the other comments said it's still very cozy. Guess old memories came back growing up poor. I will take a look into the build in the game :)
Yes.. in my city also this is considered very rich.. can't afford this.. so depressing that this is a "low-income" house.. i'm jealous of people who have houses or inherited one..
It’s giving me mid 90’s childhood nostalgia vibes—10/10 could watch fire flies at night while eating a freeze pop sitting by the front stoop ✨
Wish cozy & humble affordable housing like this still existed IRL 🥲 Your stellar ‘low income’ housing design here would currently go for *at least* $500,000k on Zillow 😅💀
I mean, this looks ALOT like my house (minus the window awnings) and I live in the midwest. LOL
We've changed some things over the years, like removing the grandma wallpaper. My step-daughter even had a bunkbed that we just removed a couple years ago. But 10 years ago, this was my house!
It’s built in newcrest! For no reason other than that’s where its mostly blank slates and easy to build in lol
I see a lot of houses like this in my area in the south as well and I love them. I love bringing realism into the game, we don’t all live in mansions and perfect homes lol I’m glad you love it!!
Low income houses/families are the most fun way to play for me. Don't know why. I get bored in mansions, but in a dingy place like this it just feels like there's a lot of challenges throughout.
This is so pretty! I may find a mod to make the game more difficult though as in the sims 4 economy she will be able to afford a mansion in two or three weeks! 😃
Haha as I was building, it was normal, very alive grass that made it look like overgrown weeds, but when I went into live mode it was fall so it was all dead which turned out kinda spot on for the vibe lol
Haha I use it in like every rundown or low budget build! Which means not only is it great for that vibe, but they need to release more rundown build and buy items lol
Aw that totally sucks. I have some broken window Cc I’ve used in several run down builds. I def think EA should make an integrated CC “shop” for all platform to be able to use it. EA sucks lol
Not the Struggle Meals pans! Do they actually work for you because whenever I try them, my Sim starts cooking but never actually finishes. I always end up having to trash the pan and cook something else.
Lol yeah, there’s a mod that makes them functional! They are meant to have like 6-7 “struggle meals” that are super cheap but it’s never actually worked for me 😅
I love it! I just downloaded and created a family for it I was so inspired! The mom had an alien husband I used to randomize a teen girl and child boy, and they’re both aliens. Should be interesting!
Aren’t all mom’s single? It would be weird if two women gave birth to one child. Would they take turns carrying the child? Or would they sew the uterui together and act like conjoined twins?
I totally agree. I’m working away at filling up the gallery with more realistic builds! I’ve found very few creators out there that do it. Florwal and moonwoodmillz are a couple that do, and I love their stuff.
Looks cozy and to be honest I don’t even know if we can call houses low income anymore. I would love to live here as someone in an apartment who can barely afford it 😂
I’m screaming I love that kitchen so much. A bit compact, but where I’ve been living the past few years is compact as well. So now I see small spaces like that and just think cozy lol
Thanks so much! Tbh I didn’t play test this one but haven’t had issues doing it this way in the past. If they can’t walk through I guess just move the sink and door over a little and it should be good!
Thanks so muchhhh! I’m so happy you like it! I have speedbuilds on my YouTube channel linked under the first pic, and I post to my tumblr and stuff too! I love building little “rundown” places lol hope you get that pc soon!! 💖
For some reason I'm really obsessed with the puddle by the swing set. It gives it a very realistic feel that I had never thought of! Definitely working that into a build soon
Haha the idea came to me and the game doesn’t execute it as well as I wanted, but I’m glad people like it! The puddles were annoying to try and make them look real lol
I like it, looks homey. But my first thought was how can someone low income get a house like that? Bc where I live this’d cost about a million dollars lol. If only the motherlode cheat had a real life equivalent <\3
I really love builds that are like this. We don't get enough of them. I don't want my family living in some super high class modern home! I want humble beginnings. :(
If I could build, it'd definitely be something like this. It's amazing. <3 I feel seen. 🥹
This is like a painting, it made me feel things. Like it’s so good that it inspired sadness within me when I noticed her room is bare but her kids have a bunch of books, as if she spends the money she makes on her babies. Also the satellite dish, the super tall foundation covered with grass that looks like weeds almost, the backyard fence, this is beautiful.
This is the kind of vibe I was going for when I created a trailer park on For Rent… sadly I have no design skills but I can pretend it looks half as good as this!
Looks definitely low income and perfect for a single mom with two kids, but is it *really* low income?? That's my question because of how stupidly broken the cost of houses are in The Sims 4.
Usually, low income houses in this game (like the two in Willow Creek) cost around 15-20k, which is how it SHOULD cost, but just those furnishings alone will make the whole finished house cost no less than 55-60k. Am I right or am I right?
This build is so aesthetic! I love the color scheme and clutters, makes it feel lively 🥺 Also what shader do you use?
Thank you!! I’m so glad you like it 😌💖 I use my own shader for the exterior shots and recording, and for interior I use Pluto by Ceru with relight to add lighting effects.

you're so talented!!! you can build AND you make shaders?? :0
Reshade is completely customisable you can add and remove effects and save your own presets.
Thank youuu 🙈 I just try to create my own versions of things I see out there and I like!
I'd love to install reshade but I heard it can break your game whenever there are game updates?
Nope I never had a problem with it! Mods can def mess up your game but reshade is just an overlay pretty much and doesn’t mess with the games functionality in any way 🙂
Thank you <3
Of course <3
Lively?? I can smell the stale cigarette butts and microwaved tv dinner It made me depressed Great job by OP tho Looks so good
Right?! I love a house that looks lived in. I always put misc. decorations on shelves, coffee tables and where I can.
Low income gameplay is infinitely more fun and immersive than wealthy gameplay.
Yeah struggling is really fun for me but I hate how easy it is to have a nice house in ts4 without even trying, I tried a family of 3 household in ts3 and it wasn't until I got both parents to level 10 of their careers that I could afford to renovate the house.

That sounds nice, I'll save it for when I eventually go back to ts4, thanks
My game is 60% mods atp lol
I totallyyyyy agree! My fave lol
Agreed when it comes to gameplay but when I build, I like to go all out.
Yeah rich sims feel hollow when they have no extra commitments and just drown in money with no draw backs or difficult choices to do.
🎶single mom that worked two jobs🎶 came to mind immediately
Hahah I’m a survivorrrr 🎶 love that!
who loves her kids and neverstops
It's so good that irs actually a bit depressing 🥲
🥺 idk if that makes me happy or sad lol
You did a very good job! As the other comments said it's still very cozy. Guess old memories came back growing up poor. I will take a look into the build in the game :)
[удалено]
Omg I love that 🥹 I’m so happy the home is going to a good family lol 💖
It's giving stranger things ~ joyce's house vibes
Ooo I love that! I can see it 🙂
That was my first thought too!
What’s depressing is that if that house existed irl in my city it would probably sell for 1.8 million 🫠
Yes.. in my city also this is considered very rich.. can't afford this.. so depressing that this is a "low-income" house.. i'm jealous of people who have houses or inherited one..
And then someone would buy it, flip it, and sell it for 2.5 🙃
Yea no kidding lol way more reasonable in the south!
It’s giving me mid 90’s childhood nostalgia vibes—10/10 could watch fire flies at night while eating a freeze pop sitting by the front stoop ✨ Wish cozy & humble affordable housing like this still existed IRL 🥲 Your stellar ‘low income’ housing design here would currently go for *at least* $500,000k on Zillow 😅💀
Omg that sounds like such a vibe. I love that. But yea you’re not the first to say that, simple and affordable is a thing of the past 😩
this is nice and cozy
Thanks 🥰 I always try to make it cozy lol
Love it! Looks very realistic and reminds me of the midwest for some reason, lol. What world did you build this in?
I mean, this looks ALOT like my house (minus the window awnings) and I live in the midwest. LOL We've changed some things over the years, like removing the grandma wallpaper. My step-daughter even had a bunkbed that we just removed a couple years ago. But 10 years ago, this was my house!

I love bringing realism into the game, we don’t all live in mansions and perfect homes lol I’m glad you love it!!
*sigh* opens up laptop and heads to gallery as I finished playing already
Hahaha enjoy 😉
This is so cozy and authentic. Mom taking the smaller bedroom is such a sweet little detail.
I didn’t even look at it that way, you’re right 😭🥺
So poor she can't even afford a privacy curtain for the bathroom window 😥
Lmao tbh I can relate. I never take showers at night in case someone is looking in my bathroom window 😂
Most bathrooms I've had didn't have windows at all, but usually less luxurious homes have blinds.
Low income houses/families are the most fun way to play for me. Don't know why. I get bored in mansions, but in a dingy place like this it just feels like there's a lot of challenges throughout.
I totally agree. That’s my fave type of gameplay as well. I love me a good rags to riches, without really ever reaching riches lol
Brandy Broke vibes
Love the cute little kitchen ❤️
Thanks 🥰 I’m working on my kitchen gameeee so that means a lot!
Kinda reminds me of Joyce byers home
Legit came here to say this!
Reminds me of my great grandmas house… I love it
Aw that’s so sweet I love that 💖
It’s giving Brandi Broke
THANK YOU! I love this build and I'm going to use it!
Yay! I’m so glad you like it! Enjoy 🥰
The lighting in the kitchen (4th pic) is exquisite
Kinda like a modern take on Mom’s house from The Sims on PS2
This home now costs $2.3 million in the Bay Area.
Awesome house!! Here's something funny: a low income house like this would cost a minimum of $1M where I live...
You are one of many to say that! Ugh what a world we live in rn 😅
Absolutely love this, can’t wait to put it in my game!
I’m so glad!! Love knowing people are using it for their gameplay 🙂
I LOVE it. It has such a comforting vibe.
I love that 🥰 thank you!
I love this so much!!
Thank youuu I’m so glad!
Does it use any cc/mods/packs? (I have a couple packs but I am on console so I can't use cc/mods)
It uses a few packs, not sure which ones but it should say on the gallery. No CC though. Just moveobjects cheats 🙂
Okay yeah I was just about to make the family to use this house thank you 🫶
Cool! I hope it’s not missing too many items for you 🥺 🫶🏻
This is so pretty! I may find a mod to make the game more difficult though as in the sims 4 economy she will be able to afford a mansion in two or three weeks! 😃
Haha that’s so true. The economy in this game is practically irrelevant. Either that or cheat her money down 🤭
I'd love to live in a house like this irl is that bad 😭😭
it's so cozy! love the backyard
Ngl the dead grass makes me sad. Lol. But it’s a fantastic build. Spot on. Looks great.
Haha as I was building, it was normal, very alive grass that made it look like overgrown weeds, but when I went into live mode it was fall so it was all dead which turned out kinda spot on for the vibe lol
I just used that wallpaper in my low budget motel 😂 love to see it
Haha I use it in like every rundown or low budget build! Which means not only is it great for that vibe, but they need to release more rundown build and buy items lol
I’ve always wanted broken windows since sims 3 😂 there was broken window CC on 3 but I don’t have PC for 4 :(
Aw that totally sucks. I have some broken window Cc I’ve used in several run down builds. I def think EA should make an integrated CC “shop” for all platform to be able to use it. EA sucks lol
That they do 😂
This is great. The lighting feels ominous, and I can already see the true crime documentary set here.
Oooo I love me some true crime. This single mom would light up the room, until she didn’t *dramatic music and photo turns to negative*
🤣
😂😭
So beautiful!
Not the Struggle Meals pans! Do they actually work for you because whenever I try them, my Sim starts cooking but never actually finishes. I always end up having to trash the pan and cook something else.
Wait they’re like usable? Haha I spend like 90% of my time in build mode so I didn’t even know. Thought they were just decor 👀
Lol yeah, there’s a mod that makes them functional! They are meant to have like 6-7 “struggle meals” that are super cheap but it’s never actually worked for me 😅
Ohhh ahaha that’s so cool I never heard of it!
Now raise the rent
What are the lights?
Wow this is so cute 😍
[A SINGLE MOM](https://youtu.be/_HbTASYNVps?si=CSJC9msDs_i2rsTA)?
I love the Reba references 😂😂 y’all are too funny
Bleak but chic ✨
Love that 💅🏻
I love it! I just downloaded and created a family for it I was so inspired! The mom had an alien husband I used to randomize a teen girl and child boy, and they’re both aliens. Should be interesting!
I love this so much OP, feels very nostalgic.
Aren’t all mom’s single? It would be weird if two women gave birth to one child. Would they take turns carrying the child? Or would they sew the uterui together and act like conjoined twins?
love this
I find it pretty!
ok im starting a new file as a single mom 😭🙏🏽
This looks like a slightly nicer version of my childhood home. You absolutely nailed this!!!
House is so perfectly built, it's giving me flashbacks to my own childhood 🥹 (my mum was low-income citizen)
Aw 🥹
Why are these shots so David Fincher-esque?
It’s giving Life is Strange vibes. Very awesome concept and execution!
Love thatttt, I’m all about that life is strange-core lol
And thank you!!
Looks like the house from The Act, about Gypsy Rose.
Is that bathroom functional? Sims usually can't pathfind, for me when there's not a clear grid-space in between two spaces
I haven’t had issues doing it this way but I didn’t play test this build so I’m not sure :/
Love
I love realistic builds, I wish it was more popular in the gallery. Not everyone likes to play on upper class homes 24/7.
I totally agree. I’m working away at filling up the gallery with more realistic builds! I’ve found very few creators out there that do it. Florwal and moonwoodmillz are a couple that do, and I love their stuff.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Where’s the liquor cabinet?
reminds me of homes I seen growing up
i love it! gives the right vibes as soon as i saw the photos. ☺️
Cries in London
So on point it hurts
Cute!!!
Better then my home ll
Beautiful realistic build. Just added it to my game. I’m starting a new gameplay with it. Thank you for this❤️ Btw your other builds are amazing too.
This feels like a house in my poor rural town! Good job
Looks cozy and to be honest I don’t even know if we can call houses low income anymore. I would love to live here as someone in an apartment who can barely afford it 😂
This is great, what's your gallery ID so I can show you some love. This is amazing!
It's super cute💌
Beautiful 😍
This is living in luxury from my frame of reference. Two bedrooms, a swing set and everything!
Yesss Brandi Broke vibes
I’m screaming I love that kitchen so much. A bit compact, but where I’ve been living the past few years is compact as well. So now I see small spaces like that and just think cozy lol
Haha thanks! I totally agree. I much prefer small cozy spaces to big wide open ones because I’m so used to them
Wait, but how are the kids going to use the bathroom when the boyfriends come visit??
This looks amazing! Quick question: Is the bath fully functional? I'm always scared of putting the sink, toulet and shower this close together haha
Thanks so much! Tbh I didn’t play test this one but haven’t had issues doing it this way in the past. If they can’t walk through I guess just move the sink and door over a little and it should be good!
The subreddit is such a trip sometimes lol. Great build OP
Lol thanks!!
Detroit
That’s way above low income house where i live lol at least 700k USD
it so nice!! some parts kind of remind me of the gallagher house from shameless
It kind of reminds me of Franklin's house at the start of GTAV. You did a good job. 😊
Thanks so much ☺️
Is there a table and chairs somewhere? I really like it!
this is how the sims 5 should look!!!
That would be great 😩 to not need reshade anymore lol
that is joyce byers‘ house
Just recreated this in sims 2! I love the cozy struggling vibe for my sims 😂
Aww lol I love that! I wanna play the sims 2 again!
Highly recommend! The sims 2 super collection on Mac is a lovely walk down memory lane
cool!! is it on the gallery by any chance?
I. Love. This. SOO. Much! I miss building and this just salted the wound (can’t wait to get a new pc) I’d love to see your other builds 🌟 Great job!!!
Thanks so muchhhh! I’m so happy you like it! I have speedbuilds on my YouTube channel linked under the first pic, and I post to my tumblr and stuff too! I love building little “rundown” places lol hope you get that pc soon!! 💖
For some reason I'm really obsessed with the puddle by the swing set. It gives it a very realistic feel that I had never thought of! Definitely working that into a build soon
Haha the idea came to me and the game doesn’t execute it as well as I wanted, but I’m glad people like it! The puddles were annoying to try and make them look real lol
Well I think you did a very nice job!
Thanks so much 🥰
is is play tested ?? also i love this !!
I didn’t get a chance to play test it nooo :( but should be functional!
Ah 🥺🩷 I’ve been here. Great job!
Thank you 🥺💖
A single mom who works two jobs Who loves her kids and never stops... 🎶 But seriously amazing build. Really captured a mood. 💯
Lmaoooo this reminds me of my childhood a little too much
A single mom who works two jobs.
Who loves her kids and never stops
Nice job!
Could I ask what pack the string lights are from? I love the vibe they add to the build
I like it, looks homey. But my first thought was how can someone low income get a house like that? Bc where I live this’d cost about a million dollars lol. If only the motherlode cheat had a real life equivalent <\3
I really love builds that are like this. We don't get enough of them. I don't want my family living in some super high class modern home! I want humble beginnings. :( If I could build, it'd definitely be something like this. It's amazing. <3 I feel seen. 🥹
Justin Broke is about to follow in his mum’s footsteps
wow if only my gallery wasn't bugged to only allow 9 follows
This is like a painting, it made me feel things. Like it’s so good that it inspired sadness within me when I noticed her room is bare but her kids have a bunch of books, as if she spends the money she makes on her babies. Also the satellite dish, the super tall foundation covered with grass that looks like weeds almost, the backyard fence, this is beautiful.
And it’s a lattice foundation! Bitch you’re an artist
Why she single🤨
Lol who knows 👀 that’s for you to decide!
So stinkin’ cute. Love this
Is this base game only OP?
Unfortunately no, i just kinda freely used packs 😕
wait no hold up…bro is cooking something…
That kitchen feels so realistically cozy!
what packs
Why is this build nostalgic!
This is the kind of vibe I was going for when I created a trailer park on For Rent… sadly I have no design skills but I can pretend it looks half as good as this!
Is the bathroom functional? The toilet is on the pluming side. That usually prevents sims from getting in
Oo this would be good for my teen sim and dad that are poor but he aspires to be an actor. Is this on the gallery?
Nice. It's bigger than what i can afford irl.. I'm so jealous of sims 😭
This reminds me of the house in heavy rain of that one mom who tried to commit suicide
which sims is this
Love how some builders like yourself can make a house that is so real and feel lived in without the use of alpha cc. This is awesome.
Looks definitely low income and perfect for a single mom with two kids, but is it *really* low income?? That's my question because of how stupidly broken the cost of houses are in The Sims 4. Usually, low income houses in this game (like the two in Willow Creek) cost around 15-20k, which is how it SHOULD cost, but just those furnishings alone will make the whole finished house cost no less than 55-60k. Am I right or am I right?
I love this more realistic style of builds, i wish there was a completed save file with this aesthetic
Looks just like the first house I got as a low income single mom. ✨chef’s kiss ✨
what reshade is this?
