First they started by playing The Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator Trailer...
Then they start. Sim Guru Jill is hosting the event.
They promise "new modern furniture never seen in The Sims before" π€
Later they mention mid-century modern, but didn't we have multiple mid century modern items many times before? Not complaining, though...

Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator - Level Renovations, where you're supposed/allowed to renovate a level / floor / multi room space.
Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator - Room Addition is the type of job where you are supposed to add a new room to an existing building.
Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator - Room Renovations are the most restrictive and the only type allowed when you start your career, since they only allow you to modify the contents inside a room.
The more you advance in the Interior Designer Career, the more Slots you will see with your client's likes and dislikes...

Now you can assemble your own closet and those pieces of clothing are all independent!
You can recolor them too!
You can be fired from a decoration job mid way through. π
Very similarly to what we had on Sims 3, but a bit more detailed, you get to know your client to figure out your client's preferences, you have a performance and reputation, a budget and a goal, plus requirements. Even if you know your client, or even if it's a recurring client, their tastes change and you need to ask everything again... π€¦π»ββοΈ
Taking Pictures... There's a lesson teaching you how to use the camera on The Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator (yay?) πΈ
You can see the restrictions and requirements, amongst other things, during build mode, so you don't need to remember everything or keep alternating between Live and Build Modes!
Clicking on what your client likes take you to objects that will give you positive points related to it (neat!) You can do the same if you want to build something your client hates by clicking on their dislikes π
That is a VERY 70's Kitchen π
You can use Auto Sofas or you can chose the individual components manually like you can already do with counters and cabinets!
Isn't it lovely?
If you search for "modular" you get a list of mid century modular cabinetry and shelving that can be mixed and matched according to your desires!
You can move entire groups of modules at once! π±
We have some poor color palette choices there... π
If you like mid century (mostly 70's / 80's) retro dΓ©cor, this is going to be your pack!!!
Time for the dΓ©cor review!
Before...
After...
After asking your client(s) for the verdict (you must ask each and every one if it's a family, for example) you are delivered your score and figure out your results π
I guess the community likes it, look at their stream's likes vs dislikes ratio right at the end of the stream!
