40X30 Lot, 4 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom

It might sound counter-productive to include just a single bathroom in a 4 bedroom household, but it is a perfect design if you want to live a rich life and have lesser members in your family.  However, unlike other floor plans, this one has everything on one single floor, so all four bedrooms are in one area.

There is a living area with a dining hall, living room, and a kitchen. There is also a small laundry area to the left and three bedrooms; the fourth bedroom can work as a home office which is convenient for work from home workers. There is also a bathroom beside the laundry room at the very end of the layout.

Classic Mansion

Who does not want a fancy 1970’s style mansion layout? There are fancy chandeliers, long flights of stairs, white-colored walls, glass windows, and flower pots everywhere. It is sure a pleasure to look at and if such kind of a lot can be your home then take your chance. However, it will be a challenging build and will consume a lot of your time since this is not a small family house.

Make various adjustments and improve upon mansion designs by adding a spa, a gym, a swimming pool, a library, a home theatre, and a bowling alley. Fancy, sophisticated and fun, this is a dream home that stands as an example of all dream homes.

20×20 Lot with 4 Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms

It is similar to the second entry in this list but has less space. Although even due to the lesser space, the house’s functionality cannot be beaten. Look at the floor plan to determine how you can optimize space properly and incorporate cool utility. You can also transform the four bedrooms into five if you take the office and turn it into a bedroom.

After you enter through the front door, you will see a kitchen with a dining area and a staircase that leads to the four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and the office. There is also a living room beside the stairs. You can also use the outside space to grow a small vegetable garden.

The real-life inspiration really shines through the build as it is based on a house in Bel Air.

One of these sims 4 house layouts is quite similar to that, with a few changes here and there.

If you have the Get To Work pack and are looking to open a restaurant, this is the perfect design to pick. When you enter the lot, you will find a huge patio, some sofas for waiting for people, a bunch of tables and chairs, a small kitchen, a secondary seating area, and a play area.

20×15 Trailer

A trailer might not be the best thing to live in, but it does the job of getting you a cool and realistic-looking living space.

This small trailer has seven little bedrooms you can use to set up guest beds and more.
