To play The Sims 4 without ever attempting to make the perfect house is like making a cake without frosting. An ideal, gorgeous home is pretty much what makes or breaks the gaming experience, and with build mode being one of the best features in the game, it's a shame not to take advantage of it.
However, building isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's where the incredibly talented community steps in to share their phenomenal creations. From modern minimalist houses to cute cottages, there's a house here for every family — if they can afford it. With a great home, comes a steep price tag, as seen with these gorgeous houses.
10 Island Bachelor: §58,956
Although this modern home by SkellySims is built in Brindleton Bay, it would no doubt look terrific in a neighborhood like Oasis Springs. The shape of the house is very simple and basic, but where it really shines is how it is decorated.
The really cool part is the pool, which is built on a patio that's suspended on a foundation. This isn't a choice many builders make, but it works quite well for this home. All things considered, its price of 58,956 simoleons is very reasonable.
9 Roisin: §120,951
If the addition of custom content with a build isn't a problem, there are plenty of creations that utilize the power of ultra realistic objects and decorations to create something truly unique.
Roisin, this suspended modern glass house by Rirann is just magnificent. One of the coolest parts is without a doubt its terrace, located underneath the main part of the house. Roisin's price is 120,951 simoleons.
8 Dachshund's Creek: §133,430
For those who like cute and cozy cottages, there are so many beautiful creations out there. Cottages seem to look the best in-game as well, and they often don't require any extra custom content to look good in the base game style of The Sims 4.
This Dachshund's Creek cottage built in Brindleton Bay by Milly is a really adorable house for a couple or even a small family. The house itself isn't complex, but what really pulls it all together is the immense amount of garden work and outer decor. It shows in the price, too, which is marked at 133,430 simoleons.
7 Mediterranean Jungle House: §164,361
Dreaming of living in a lush, green environment? With the Jungle Adventuregame pack, The Sims 4 received a ton of cool build and buy mode objects to create the perfect jungle getaway, and the community creators have definitely showcased their creativity with this theme.
Walcyrge Sims made this insanely gorgeous jungle build where Sims can not only enjoy their beautiful Mediterranean house, but also be close to nature. To live in this dream come true, they'll have to afford the 164,361 simoleon price tag.
6 Modern Family Home: §191,496
One of the most talented members of the building community is without a doubt Aveline Sims. Just about any home that comes out of her hands is a masterpiece, and this modern family house is no exception. With a pretty simple shape and concept, it holds its own fantastically.
There's so much to appreciate here, from the clash of stone pillars and white concrete to the neat gardens that have a very defined color and style. Should a family want to live here, they'll need to scrape up 191,496 simoleons.
5 Palm Beach House: §217,649
With Island Living, build mode saw another important update. Simmers could now actually build on water on certain lots within Sulani, which allows for some pretty interesting and luxurious island-themed creations.
Lenasimshomes made this super creative and gorgeous island mansion suspended on clear ocean waters. There are so many layers and parts to this that a family basically has everything they need here, for the immense price of 217,649 simoleons.
4 Boho In Town: §219,992
For something truly unique and special, a family needs a colorful and creative house that shows off their personality. This boho build by Lhonna Sims is without equivalent in so many ways, and has all the perfect colors and patterns.
There are tons of different architectures mixed together here, which makes it easy to insert in almost any world. Just make sure the family can afford to pay 219,992 simoleons for it.
3 Victorian House: §244,404
Another classic creation is this Victorian-style fenced home with multiple floors and an elegant white exterior. Straight out of a period drama, creator Monolis1122 stayed true to the historical theme of the building all the way through.
As one would expect, a gorgeous mansion like this doesn't come with a cheap price. For 244,404 simoleons, Sims can settle down in this fancy home.
2 520 Victorian Row Townhouses: §272,597
Let's take it back to something more classic, like a Victorian-style townhouse. While townhouse living isn't a thing in the game (yet), builds like this one by Haledela are a great way to make players dream.
This simple yet classic building has room for a big family and looks fantastic in more populated worlds like San Myshuno or Windenburg. The price, however, is pretty steep: 272,597 simoleons.
1 Whitewater Estate: §401,394
For players who love having massive families and truly enjoy the family aspect of gameplay, having a big house with a cozy feeling is quite important. Thankfully, Aveline Sims has something just right.
This Whitewater Estate build has a perfect mixture of fancy cottage style and cozy countryside. Clean, homely and sophisticated, it's no wonder the home is a whopping 401,394 simoleons.
