How to Create a Sims 2 Big Brother House

If you're a fan of the Sims video game and the Big Brother television show, you may have considered combining the two together. Creating a Sims 2 Big Brother house can be a lot of fun, if you know the fundamentals. A little bit of paint, an interesting mix of people and a few surprises thrown in is a guaranteed good time.

Instructions

1. Design the house in a fun motif. Big Brother houses are known for eclectic wall coverings and decorations, so don't hold back when creating your Big Brother house. Make it big, and be bold with your color choices. Cool modern art can set the scene for drama and maybe even romance.

2. Add a diary room. The cast of Big Brother needs a place to gossip and dish on the other contestants, so create a diary room complete with a comfy chair and a door. This is where the cast mates will go to do their weekly vote-offs and vent sessions.

3. Mix things up. It wouldn't be Big Brother without a little bit of struggle. Try creating one main living/sleeping area so that the Sims have to battle one another to turn the television or stereo off to get some sleep. If you have eight house mates, put in only seven beds so that someone is always left sleeping on the floor. And one tiny bathroom can lead to amusing conflicts.

4. Gather an eclectic mix of people. When you create your house mates, try to make opposites if possible. Neat people will quickly get annoyed with their messy roommates; shy members may be put off by loud and noisy members. Put together whatever you think will make for good drama.
