In United States most houses have 4 bedrooms (1 for parents, 1 for boys, 1 for girls, 1 for guests), but in game, Sims go to sleep in any available bed at random, you cannot designate bedrooms for each Sim, there is no problem if all Sims sleep in a single room (even 8 sims in 4 double beds), for realism you can make 1 bedroom for each 2 Sims.ĭue to The Sims mechanics, a lot of things takes more space in game than it would take in real life. For example:ĭining table for 4 people can be 90×120 cm in real life, including chairs it would take a space of 200×120 cm.

You can copy external shape of real homes, but design floor plan according The Sims mechanics, with fewer and larger rooms. Real homes usually have too many rooms, narrow hallways, U-shaped staircases, and other elements that do not work well in The Sims. However, if you want to build real houses in this game, you should NOT follow floor plan or size of the real house, instead you should adjust the house size according number of Sims that will live in it. Optimal size for 4 Sims is 150-200 squares, for 6 Sims 200-250 squares, for 8 Sims 250-300 squares. Most doors have 80 cm opening, 90 cm (3 feet) with frame, and in The Sims they fit on 1 square tile. WRONG, just measure a door in your house. Many other websites claiming that 1 Sims square is 2 feet. Slightly less than 1 square meter (= 10.7 square foot). In short: all The Sims games are based on square tiles that represent 3 feet (0.91 meters) so one Sims square is 9 square foot. You probably came here because you want to build houses in The Sims based on real life house plans and you wonder how big to make them.
