If you’re looking for a big modern house in the Sims 4, look no further! This build is so mind-blowing you won’t believe it’s the base game!
Let’s start with the obvious, shall we?
The roofing goals in this place are unmatched. I mean, seriously, the roof alone is a work of art. It’s like a beautiful and versatile hat that the house is wearing. The house has a unique shape that will make you the envy of all your Sim neighbors.
The stunning design has a perfect balance of natural colors that make it feel like a cozy oasis while still being modern.
And don’t even get me started on the social areas! There’s enough space to throw the party of the century, and your social Sims will be living their best lives.
But wait, there’s more! This house is perfect for sports lovers too, with its very own gym. That’s right, you can finally get your Sims in shape without leaving the house.
And let’s not forget about the home office. If you’re a work-from-home Sim, this is the spot for you. It’s proper and professional but still stylish enough to make you feel fancy.
This place has a separate floor that could be used just for teens, giving them their own personal space.
Now, I do have to warn you about one thing.
While this house is huge and has plenty of space for all your Sims to run around, there are only three bedrooms. Every one of them has a double bed, thus, accommodating a maximum of 6 Sims.
So, if you’re planning on having a lot of guests over, you might have to get creative with sleeping arrangements.
Also, there’s no room for small children in this house. So, if you’re planning on moving in as young parents, count on refurbishing some rooms.
But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for all the amazing features of this house. So go ahead and make your Sim dreams a reality with this beautiful and versatile modern mansion.

3. Cozy Winter Starter Sims 4 Base Game House by Julchens77

This tiny cottage is the perfect starter home for a Sim looking to live that idyllic country life without breaking the bank. And let me tell you, this house has got some serious spice.
What I am talking about is the living room. Have you seen the glass roof and those enormous windows? That is such a game-changer! It adds a modern touch to this country-style house, letting in all that natural light.
Imagine it paired with a cozy fireplace, and all your winter nights will be magical from now on. Who needs a fancy mansion when you’ve got a glass-roofed cottage that’s just that cozy?
The design theme of this house is deep red. This is perfect if you want to add a little warmth and passion to your virtual life.
And while this starter is meant for only one Sim, you can easily replace the bed with a double bed if you want to move in as a couple.
The only thing I’m not crazy about is the neon sign on the kitchen wall. It just doesn’t match the overall country vibe of the house. But hey, it’s an easy fix. I usually swap it out for something a little more rustic.
All in all, if you’re looking for a little slice of country heaven, look no further than this charming little cottage.

5. Luxe Sims 4 Basegame Villa by Leahlaz

This modern villa is a real eye-catcher. Just look at these huge windows and a glass roof! This house will treat you with a lot of natural light.
The open social area on the ground floor is amazing. It is welcoming, comfortable, and cozy, despite its huge size. At the same time, the kitchen is separated, which is perfect for everyone who wishes privacy from the crown while cooking.
The interior design is classy and chic. If you like natural colors and a calm atmosphere – you will love it as well.
What makes this villa so special for me is its bedrooms. Every bedroom is spacious, luxurious, and with a view to die for.
Although there are four enormous bathrooms in this house, you’ll notice there are almost only showers. If you are like me and enjoy a good bath, you must put one yourself.
And if your Sims are young parents, there may be another drawback for you. There’s no predefined room for a toddler, so you will have to organize one yourself.
At the same time, this home is a paradise for young adults.
It is perfect for throwing a party, enjoying a relaxed family evening, or developing your career.

If you’re looking for a modern family house that will leave you speechless, this is the one for you! I’m talking no packs, completely base game, and still jaw-dropping.
I was amazed when I first saw it, and I think you will be too.
The realistic driveway is pure genius – it’s created using a roof. And let me mention the pool for a moment. It’s not just an ordinary pool. No, no. It turns into a waterfall and ends as a pond while being a window to the gym on the ground floor! Wow! 🤩 Someone put a lot of hard work into this, and it shows.
The interiors are sensational, with pops of color and contrasting elements that will make you want to stay there forever.
And can we talk about the art in the house? It’s like being in a gallery, I’m not even kidding. You will feel like an art connoisseur just by living in this house.
And if you are moving in as a family, don’t worry. There’s a toddler room and a room for possible twins.
The backyard is a home for perfect quality hybrid plants – exactly what is needed if you want to grow and eat your own produce. How cool is that?
Finally, the name of this house is no coincidence. It’s the perfect place to make you feel like a superstar, especially if you own the Get Famous expansion pack.
7. Consensus Sims 4 Basegame House by Kreatora

Are you looking for a traditionally-looking family house with a twist? Look no further! This one is quite unique.
The front side of this house looks classic and proper, despite unconventional angles. The back is relaxed and modern, perfectly balancing traditional and modern styles. Inside, you’ll find a bright and intense color scheme that will give you an energy boost.
If you have a big family or are planning on having lots of kids, this house is perfect. The first floor is dedicated to the little ones. There is enough space for two toddlers and three older kids to play and explore to their hearts’ content.
The backyard is well-planned and just right in size.
I especially love the little fenced garden on the side of the house. It’s so cute! And the backyard itself is a dream come true, with a pool and a playground.
There is one small downside to this build, though. There are no stairs to the first floor, but don’t worry – a space for a staircase is already prepared. All you have to do is to take away a wall between the living room and the kitchen and add your own staircase.
No matter this flaw, this home is loved by so many Simmers!
Don’t miss out on this lot. It may be just what your Sims have been dreaming about!

Plus, there’s a gaming room with a bar, so you can get your game on and serve up some drinks simultaneously. Talk about multitasking!
But wait, there’s more!
The second floor is where you can find the bedrooms. They are located separately from the common areas for maximum privacy. There are three bedrooms total, making it perfect for a family with two teens. I hope one of them loves to paint and another one dreams of becoming a rock star.
And if you’re a fan of mirrors, you’re in luck because they’re one of the main themes of this house.
The earthy, natural color tones add to the cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to call home.
So, if you’re looking for a house perfect for entertaining with plenty of privacy, this one’s a winner. It’s got all the features you could ever want, and it’s just waiting for you to move in and start living the dream!

Have you been searching for a house that is cute on the outside and spacious on the inside? This one is for you!
This family house is so realistic that it almost feels like you could move in right away. And the best part? It is completely affordable!
This build is great for a growing family that needs plenty of space.
Now, if you love to take care of interior design yourself, you are in luck! The house is furnished with essentials only, which means you can fill it up with your personal touch.
You don’t have to fix it all at once, but make sure you’ve some money left to purchase at least a post box and a trash can.
The house is made in calm natural tones and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The backyard is shaped like a circle. It is ideal for fun outdoor activities for your family.
My only gripe with this lovely abode is that there is no toilet on the ground floor. But, if your Sims don’t have extra time to run the stairs all the time, you can create a guest toilet yourself. Space is not a problem!
So, if you want a realistic and affordable family house to interior design yourself, this is the perfect place for you. Don’t hesitate to give it a try!
