we tried building a house in black & white in the sims 4

today we're building a house in The Sims

but we're not going to be able to see

the colors do not adjust your screens

cuz we're going black and white just

wanted to shout out that we are not the

first people to come up with this idea

done a version of this challenge so be

sure to check out their vids if you like

this one and now it's our turn to do it

even worse oh

definitely that wasn't a question all

righty and here's the shell we just

whipped up soak it all in this is the

last time we're all going to see it like

this for a while I mean anything's going

to be better than drywall right right

to Squarespace for sponsoring this video

and now back to the video where I'm sure

welbert will be the star do not promise

that that is not happening here he

goes oh it's like reverse Wizard of Oz

we're not in Kansas anymore and I want

to go home start with roof I mean it is

the one thing that we can do without

worrying about the colors so it's not a

bad idea it's the one thing I never

worry about actually I'm not biting for

time I'm just adjusting that's all um

but you did miss a spot up there at the

front I'm going to deal with that later

can you wait a second no I just put the

first piece down how am I supposed to

look at it I'm thinking about adding a

back TCH porch yeah good if we both

agree then it must be a good idea how

big do I want it big okay maybe that big

not with a cap ital B right lowercase B

I can't tell if we're recording or not

because the recording button is now gray

now you normally tell by seeing if it's

green or not so if you guys are seeing

this video good there's like a 5050

chance that we're recording I can't tell

the difference between green and red and

that's going to be a problem I feel like

for later that's

foreshadowing so that's the basic roof

shape I'm thinking but this side is kind

of a bit boring boring to me so I think

I might add just a dormer up here oh so

you're just going to go into roof pieces

and pull one uh no oh if you want to

create a custom Dormer you can actually

use your room tool to make just a tiny

room up here and then you just add a

little roof piece bend it down so that

it matches with the roof line and just

like that Dormer done perfect place for

a Christmas tree or ghosts what uh youve

built a whole other room and the roof is

still missing okay fine we'll get to the

bay window thank gosh somebody said

something so usually on bay windows like

this you can take like the octagonal

octagonal octagonal o made we on

Australian now we watch too much

Australia TV it's affecting me as you

know just how the water runs backwards

in Australia there also is no color

there usually you could just take an

octagonal roof piece and stretch it out

to fit but I don't really love the look

of that on this one I hate it but

another way that you can roof it instead

is I'm going to first add a half hipped

roof at the front here and then I'm

going to take two half gabled roofs on

the diagonal and place them on each side

be sure to pull in your evees so it

actually fits that's what those little

small arrows are for oh wow that looks

way better than I thought it would I'm

already second guessing everything

because I'm pretty sure like 99% sure

that all of the roof trims come in white

originally but what if I change them and

I just have never processed that before

you're panicking I'm not

panicking oh wait is there a roof trim

there no it's just cuz you're hovering

over it I can't see calm down I'm

panicking windows are usually my

favorite part I think we can be smart

about this what do you think I was

hoping you would be the smart one but I

can be smart too I think that we should

go with all the trims and accents being

white because in theory that should be

the lightest color on the swatches so if

we just go with the lightest one every

time we should be okay that's kind of

Genius what pack are these from seasons

okay seasons has white Windows

right

yes that pause did not help anyone see

this is where the plant falls apart cuz

what if we don't know if there's a white

Swatch in it mistake huge mistake and

white spandrels and white columns and

white fents and a white house and a

white Road and a white Street more like

this is going to be orange this is going

to be purple this is going to be pink

and I have an idea to add a little

little detail here I'm going to the

awning section of wall sculptures and

there's this cute piece from cottage

living which is definitely the right

color I'm just going to add it to the

pitch of my roof here then I'm going to

extend the eve of this roof to cover

this part by holding shift and dragging

forward I like the idea of a wooden door

you really want to try that I mean worst

case scenario it's just an accent door

how are we feeling about some sighting

I'm feeling that it should be Green ooh

how are we going to get that no we could

do this through the powers of deducting

don't you mean deducing deducting is

right right I think you're thinking

about taxes here's what we're going to

do we have green everywhere around us

it's on the grass all we have to do is

pick a siding and see if it matches the

color of the grass and then through the

powers of deducting we should have the

right color Sherlock you might be on to

something let's try it Watson I think

this one might look the closest zoom in

on the grass it all looks

gray I think that's pretty close though

we're going to go with it oh I got to

add white stairs I know these are white

that's a good start but these are cuter

okay are you going to go with the ones

you know are white or you know are cute

cute okay this house is going to be

terrible but very cute now we just add

some shingles up here no don't we have a

really really good plan or is it a

really really bad plan won't it be fun

to find out I don't think fun is the

word I'm going to use so since we use

the cats and dogs siding I'm actually

just going to use a shingle from that

pack as well and if we just count the

swatches here and then do the same one

here oh no there's more swatches in the

shingles than on the siding why we

shouldn't have relied on the numbers I

knew math would lead us astray oh we're

just going to have to go with what looks

closest that's your plan it's all going

to be worth it we'll see if you say that

at the end flooring we could go with

these rustic looking ones why not they

might even be the same color as the door

who's to say flower boxes make anything

look good o I like that one oh yeah this

one's so cute um I'm just realizing that

I am pretty sure this flower box comes

in red that's a chance I'm willing to

take I didn't realize it was a chance I

was taking too late oh no planting oh no

I forgot about this part I wish I could

forget I'm actually using the item names

for the first time like low Ling pale

yellow flowers at least I know what

color that is you need to choose one

that you do not know the color of why

for chaos okay fine I'm just going to

duplicate everything to the back so it

at least it'll match you want a big tree

or no sure why not trash can oh no

couldn't blame that on the color guys we

can't see first piece of furniture what

are you thinking which one is white the

confidence is not great currently this

is kind of looking Coastal to me so I

think I'm going to try for a lantern oh

my gosh how did we miss that piece of

drywall it's going to be so hard to tell

if we haven't done a particular part now

I'm paranoid I am checking every square

inch do I risk terrain paint I mean how

bad is it going to be brown or more

Brown I know my favorite one anyway so

this isn't actually much of a mystery

how will you know how intense you've

made it sometimes you just got to have a

little bit of faith and with the mailbox

that's done looks kind of cute like

maybe a house from the 50s it does look

like it's sitcom is happening here or it

might be a horror film depending on what

it looks like when we turn the color

back on we don't have to do that warning

color coming back on in three two

one

oh the window boxes are red I knew

they'd be red I may be a little less

happy about that risk now least we got

yellow flowers here and yellow flowers

here it's the little things at this

point oh no that that's not green at all

yeah um that's a beige there and I think

that's a blue up here no I think that's

pure white it is pure white oh an

offwhite with a white next to it that's

why they call it off-white it's off

pudding that's bright blue why couldn't

we have made the house blue I would have

been much happier with that oh we forgot

to do the roof Swatch and the foundation

oh my gosh this is a nightmare it was

gray how could we tell we wondered if

there would ever be a challenge that

really did trip us up and I think we

found it it looked so good before I'm

going to have to go back and change

every Swatch I like this build too much

I'm so mad never mind I'm switching it

back oh it's beautiful

again well nothing to do but go inside

honestly I'm happy to move on I don't

want to look out of here anymore kitchen

dining up front here okay what did we

learn I don't think I learned anything

in fact I think I'm getting less smart

and that's the confidence we want going

into this I'm thinking we go with some

light Hardwoods throughout that means if

it's bad in here it's bad everywhere or

if it's good in here it's good

everywhere I can't look at this on the

bright side can't look at anything on

the bright side it's in

grayscale I guess it makes sense to do

the cabinets over here but it would be

more fun to do the cabinets over here

fun fun fun fun fun I have an idea for

back here but I don't know if it's worth

it just because the colors are going to

be bad doesn't mean that we can't try

architecturally now that we can control

the house has good bones just whoever

the Sim is that decorates it has

terrible design taste I'm just adding a

little platform to the bay back here and

now we have a little ledge that we can

style that is designed I like the idea

of adding some big uppers on the sides

here kind of like those fancy kitchens

that have the hutches I like that

usually there would though oh I don't

like that come on how bad can it be live

a little at least we know these cabinets

are white I feel like we've said that

before but maybe it'll be true this time

surely the first watch of the fridge is

going to be white right right okay say

it with

confidence right do we go for wallpaper

now yeah do we want to be cowards or not

cowards no we're going to

wallpaper don't gasp like that ghost

ghost ghost ghost ghost ghost ghost

ghost ghost like why are we even trying

we could just have a good time we've

been trying to go coastal hard on the

trying so maybe something with a Wayne

cotting could look good maybe if we go

for the lightest Swatch so like this

it's Brave we got to go for it yeah we

do if they'll say anything about us

it'll be How brave we were we got plenty

of room for a dining table I hate not

knowing what anything looks like just

have to visualize it I can't picture

anything why didn't I memorize this

before I should have been memorizing

swatches this whole time just go with

Vibes honestly looking at the choices

just stresses me out I'm just going to

go with my gut feeling touch coming in

clutch to fill up this wall you think

jungle Adventure has some weird colors

in it I know jungle Adventure has some

weird colors in it really those woods

match we've said that too many times and

been wrong every single time drugs feel

so risky there's just so much color this

one's pattern is pretty now that's

something we can see I think I need to

lay some of these out side by side so I

can tell which one looks the right color

are those three different

swatches uh-huh oh no hover over them

close your eyes I'm going to tell you

when to stop and go stop that has to be

it I think I'm going to go with the

other one you'll regret this you spit in

Fate's face at least we know there's no

bad Swatch on the hanging plan some

things you know can just go in maybe we

should add a few more hold on we've got

more room save this maybe we'll do a

little decorating there maybe I don't

even oh trash can oh my gosh did we

forget a trash can again just need to

let go what's going to happen is going

to happen she tries two more swatches is

this you letting go it's so hard to let

go wait wait wait I know the first

Swatch of these is gray because I get so

mad every time we put them in that

they're not the right color so I think

this is actually the white set okay what

else have you memorized you haven't told

me I'll try to think let me think that's

all I got oh no it was just plats at

least we've got something I just feel so

safe putting more plants in even more

than usual they're green like it can't

be that bad they're just our comfort

plants yeah don't judge us at least

there are some swatches we know are a no

we put a coffee maker over here by the I

like that let's why not she liked it so

much she changed accent oh and some mugs

some mugs no matter what we can never be

mad at Mugs like the messy ones I think

these are messy people messy with their

choices messy with their mugs definitely

with their paint colors Coastal Coastal

what looks Coastal a fish now you're out

of control I think I'm on to something

or disco ball you're right the fish was

too much but the disco ball I think I'm

going to go with this yeah we just stick

with the lantern theme can't go wrong

I'm just going to pick a random color

here we go perfect look just like the

other one maybe some aprons on the wall

over here would cute yeah the patchwork

could be fun but I don't remember what

Swatch it has let's go for it yeah maybe

we'll find a Swatch we've never thought

of before maybe it'll be great yeah at

least we know what color the light

switches come in and that's why light

switches are the best and we never

forget them a single time you keep

picking objects that I know have read on

them well now it's on theme cuz we added

it outside that's not an excuse I say we

don't risk painting any ceiling oh I

wasn't going to do that anyway I'm so

mad that I like how it looks cuz I'm

about to hate it you don't know that I

fear I do here we go color coming back

oh oh wait this isn't so bad actually

way better than the outside the floors

aren't Brown at all no that's um a

choice and I did not expect the chairs

to be blue no but there's also blue on

the walls sure it's a slightly different

shade but it's not bad okay the apron

Swatch on the other hand aprons are

meant to be fun right I do think up here

looks kind of nice though way better

than expected we did get the cabinets

right win is a win we count those if you

put one more red item in this house I

swear stop fighting it red is a part of

this now I feel like not bad is pretty

good in this scenario I think it's about

as good as we could get we look so

bright now too bright so much color and

we're back and heading to the living

room we've got to do better in here

since we've been picking so wrong I

think we need to go against all of our

instincts can't fight that long logic I

would go with this one but instead I'm

going to go with this one that's got to

be better I'm feeling a fire place I'm

feeling you're right that one looks the

worst to me but I know that's wrong pick

it we're full sending this room the nice

thing about this fireplace is that the

wall mount TV slots right on top of it

because it's so flush to the wall oh

that's nice what's crazy is the season

couch actually looks better in grayscale

cuz I know the swatches are nuts like

that's better than that has ever looked

I like it don't be tricked I'm pretty

positive it's blue I mean we know this

one will be fun and it's definitely

against our better Instinct get her in

it's definitely going to be eclectic in

here this is the kind of person that

thrifts all of their Furniture booknook

Kit save us if anything can it's the

booknook kid I think we can go with one

of like the lighter swatches I know one

of those has rainbow books I think that

would be a perk you're being so Bri some

of those are light swatches and some of

them are white I just went with it I

think I got all the right ones maybe we

should have put a desk over here and

instead so we could get a computer we

can still get a computer in yeah we can

still get a computer in I'm just going

to use our favorite hack of grabbing a

kitchen island add in the computer of

your choice I hope that's not the gold

one no it's not that one this one with

this the shine on it I know the base

game one is safe okay let's do that one

good call good call add in a bar stool

now I'm just going to shrink down the

island using the left bracket key and

scooch it into the bookcase cute oh and

because we're doing this trick we can

angle it right put it on a bit of a turn

oo well you know we actually did get the

curtains right in here finally at least

one thing we've gotten right so we can

just copy that over we're definitely

going to use that as much as we can did

you pick the same Swatch in the full

panel uh here we have to use what we

know how have I never noticed that this

fireplace has a little hook oh that's

interesting could be a place to add a

little plant couldn't should we can

always go back to the booknook kit to

clutter feel so safe with the booknook

kit we had like a little lamp or

something we should add a little lamp or

something want maybe the bigger one if

we do that that's kind of cute there's

an even bigger one that

one I starting to not believe you but

then I saw it this little stack of books

is great because it's secretly a shelf

so it has a slot on top where you can

add stuff and we're always going to

choose a plant of course we haven't been

to Art yet we've been too scared this is

like the final frontier let's just stick

with the Sea theme and go nautical again

the ocean can't steer us wrong we went

against our gut Instinct do you think

this will be any better I'm just hoping

it's not worse I think that's a bar we

can pass ready no

color

oh why is it so shocking every time how

do we keep getting so much blue in here

I don't know everything feels so much

more vibrant once you flip the colors

back on yeah I'm trying to decide if

it's bad or if I just need to adjust

kind of a little bit of both the

fireplace and the rug are a bit more

dramatic than I probably would have gone

for but that's okay oh I think you got

all the right color hey I didn't even

try I missed the rainbow books I was

excited about that I don't think this

experiment was a terrible disaster I

don't either I guess against our better

instincts is just blue that sounds about

right we did the hallway off camera but

we didn't cheat and we added this Runner

which is definitely a mistake let's just

move on to the bathroom this is maybe

the room I was worried about the most oh

tile tile we would never usually use

this I don't know if that's a good thing

in this challenge then we should

definitely do it I'm thinking about

adding a wall here you want to add more

tile I actually want to have a spot to

put the shower I guess that's important

what are the chances the half tile

Swatch matches the full tile Swatch like

0% I like those odds are you

purposefully leaving the floor blank or

are you forgetting something um no I am

not forgetting anything let's look at

floor tile floor blank mind blank oh

this gray thing is really messing me up

I just like can't tell concrete anymore

cuzz it's always gray but everything's

gray this one kind of matches the wall

tile I am almost 1,000% positive that is

yellow well what if the wall tile is

yellow I think it is ooh these are kind

of coastal yeah cool and a mirror which

I'm sure is going to look fine that

mirror doesn't match this we don't know

if anything matches anything in here why

didn't we think of that if nothing

matches it all matches that makes sense

we could do like a classic three sconce

thing up here that ugly does it matter

stop looking at the swatches in the

toilet um no no you're confusing

yourself leave it alone doesn't this one

look wider than that one stop looking

always forget this High School Year's

basket is actually a trash can it's the

cutest one we have by far sorry sorry

Barrel we didn't mean to say anything he

didn't hear you don't worry it's going

to be the university shower we just

canot use it ooh that place it's kind of

fun I don't think you can get into the

shower the plants taking a shower wait

your turn he'd probably love that he

would love it I don't know if this is

looking good at all I've lost all

ability to tell what anything looks

[Music]

like this is getting more painful yeah

for some reason this challenge isn't

getting easier even though we keep going

why do we keep going okay you definitely

just picked two different splotches on

those soaps no I didn't yes you did how

is this challenge getting harder not

getting better at all the whale so

Coastal no this is not going to be the

build where we finally add a whale why

not give the people a blind maybe

they'll like this bathroom more man I

really like the layout we ended up with

I'm glad there's something to like okay

if you had to guess right now what do

you guess all the colors are I fear that

the floor is yellow and the walls are

not all right the stakes are high let's

see and

switch you were right about the floor

and I apologize oh this is the worst one

yet dang the blue we got the blue again

this actually would have looked cohesive

if we would have done something

different for the floor oh I was so

right you were so right that was so

wrong why doesn't it feel good to be

right and I really like the tiles on the

wall for this yeah it actually is kind

of that Coastal Vibe we were going for

dang it we were so close give me one

more chance oh yeah what's the hallway

look like oh yeah huh H you know at

least we carried the yellow blue theme

in here yellow floors blue walls it's

all working and a pop of red no

everyone's favorite color

scheme o it's a shock every time

honestly it's kind of a relief every

time at least we're on the last bedroom

only a little more pain here we go we

could go simple boring you're right we

might as well go for it woo let's go for

it oh bad oh right we need one of those

what are we doing again I don't know

it's all just getting mixed up in my

brain turns out remove one of my senses

my others are not heightened stripes and

Stripes stripes we try to match what we

can we can't do color we might as well

do pattern I like the look of that for

now amps it does say sea star so it is

kind of nautical that's a sign I'm

willing to grasp it straws at this point

give us a crumb and we will use it a

picture is going to make everything

better I'm sure it will oo
