Living in 2x2 and 3x3 Micro homes

I've never seen those videos, but I can't imagine how it's possible. Where would you put a bed, sink, fridge and shower in one of those homes?

By expanding up, down and with ladders. it’s doable but gets more harder the smaller one builds.

OP, the stuff pack tiny living is somewhat of you’re what looking for. It lets you build 3 different tiers of small homes. You’re allowed to use a certain number of tiles to meet the requirement of a tiny home. The highest tier you’re allowed to use is 100tiles, and the lowest 32tiles. Definitely not 3x3 but meeting such requirements grants your lot traits.

I've seen those homes, they're interesting as a build challenge, but I don't really see the need for them from a gameplay perspective. Sims can sleep in a tent and pee in a bush and grill and eat and shower outside, so why put everything inside a tiny room.

Absolutely.....and I always make sure toilets and showers are right by the sidewalk. I love watching sims walk down the sidewalk, stop, put their hands to their mouths in shock, and then turn around and walk the other way

There is no shock factor with the university shower and the pee bush, but I love how they sneak in and out of the bush. :lol:

yeah I feel like for long term fun you would want tad more tiles

if only to personalize the build instead of creating box tower

also if you can expand upwards why you can't expand side ways the same amount that would give some room for creativity in building shape

for instance if you went by the 3X3
thats 9 tiles say you create 4 floors which is max upwards you would still have 36 tiles they're just inefficiently used

i think it should be more like you can use 36 tiles total and you can put them upstairs or downstairs as you please

which btw is already more than micro home in tiny living = maybe just go by the 32 tiles max is fine enough

if its not about building though yeah i would totally just use tents or have my sims live on community lot or wolf nap under the stars live in cave n so forth

Honestly the only point to these lots are to flex

I have seen videos about 2x2 and 3x3 houses. They can be fun to watch and it is amazing how it is possible to make furniture usable in those tiny spaces. But I think they are too small to be practical. Sims need a bit of space to move around and a place to put objects down on occasion. I have never actually tried to play in such a small house but expect it to be frustrating. A house that size also requires MOO which can be a bit glitchy in my experience.

The smallest house I ever used was 4x6 tiles, so 24 tiles in total, for a single Sim. It was for the earn 1 000 000§ and I did not want to spend any more money on a bigger house. That house worked quite well. I think I didn't use moo but it's been a while since I built this edit : I did use moo for the shower. Perhaps I could have made it a few tiles smaller but 3x3 was a bit too squished for my taste.

For a 3 Sims household I managed to play in a 32 tile home, on the limit of the smallest tiny house. It was doable but some use of moo was needed.

I generally don’t like to play in houses smaller than a small trailer. Otherwise it gets too hard to see everything.

Many moons ago, I mean it was like 2018 before we even got Tiny living. I build this little 3X5 functional one story house that keeps all of your sim's needs in green. If I remember correctly it was for @catmando830 tiny house thread. I copied the below from that thread ;)

My tiny house. Its 5 by 3 tiles. I have only done the little house and thoroughly playtested it to make sure everything is accessable.
I was really suprised that I could keep my sim's needs all in green with just that little house :)
