Love that they added new swatches! But I wish there would have been more toned down lilacs or really dark plum. And also why do we never get lilac windows and doors??! Why? 😭 James, you missed the doors and windows that got new swatches! I think the ones you chose are the ones that had pink swatches before. Seems the Sims team forgot to categorise the new ones as pink.
my grandmother legitimately lived in a pepto bismol pink house during my childhood 😭😂 this build gave me weird nostalgia i didn’t know id been missing. thank you, james.
Simsie: builds Blue Suburban James: builds Pink Suburban Non-simmers: "it's the exact same build!" Viewers of Simsie and James: "It's two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT builds!"
I really hope they will keep adding swatches and updating the graphics quality of build/buy items. I wish we had more consistent wood tones across all furniture and I wish all items in the game came in white, cream, grey and black. Some windows exist in dark brown but not black which is annoying. Some of the windows have low resolution compared to newer windows and it will never stop annoying me how disproportionally huge some base game windows are. Complexly oversized. Now that we know that there won’t be Sims 5 for the foreseeable future, I feel it’s only fair that they fix the game, starting with base game. As a builder, I highly appreciate updates like this. I hope they will keep rolling them out.
Exactly!!! I love builds with white/beige furniture in combination with light wood tones !!! And it's so annoying that if you like light wood tones to build.....You need to buy home decorator + eco + snowy escape + get together + horse pack..... Because every pack has only some loose items. Some got furniture, some got windows, some got stairs, some got railings, some got columns, some got platforms etc. Why does not every pack have those swatches or at least 1 pack all those matching swatches and items together. I'm considering so long to buy snowy escape just for the light wooden railing swatches + columns + windows......but it is such a waste of money because I don't like most of the other items in the pack...... But if I don't buy it...... I can't complete my builds in the same beautiful wood color I like. Because every pack only has a small number of those items. I wish that we could put together our own packages and could personally choose and mix a certain number of build + buy + CAS items💖 !!!! Or indeed that all the packs had those matching swatches at least..... Or that they bundled all those light wooden swatches/build/buy items into 1 package so you don't need to buy almost 5 packs to match and collect everything. And your right..... the quality of the older items is so different compared with the newer... They def. should give them overtime an graphical update instead of only giving them some new swatches.
Agreed, we need some swatch consistency. I don't mind that some furniture/paints/wallpapers come in colours that others do not, but we need like four or so base ones that all of them have. Petition to also have things like blankets, cushions etc. have separate swatches.
The Sims team really messed up. all the new pink swatches are on the mission style doors and windows,which did not pull up for you. They also gave alot more color swatches for the mission style
My theory for this was because they wanted them to match better with the Lovestruck build stuff 🤔 since the pack has build stuff in those tones as well
Right?!? This video made me realise they didn’t tag much of the new swatches as pink! Really wish they’d tag new stuff in the update with the little gold star to make it easier to spot too
"I know it seems kinda weird, having a lamp on the counter, but I needed more pink in here" *proceeds to scroll out to show the pink tornado that has hit the entire house* xD
I was just thinking of a build using the new pink swatch of the cupcake machine. Maybe some kind of cafe or retail. The new arches and bars are probably the most exiting. Plus the sliding door that actually firs small wall heights
My childhood home growing up was a _massive_ old Victorian that had, apparently, been painted red originally, but by the time we moved in, was faded to a nice pastel pink. There's something enchanting about having grown up in a big pink house. It had a wraparound veranda and a turret and the ground floor looped around the central staircase. Every day I miss that house. It's been a really wild ride seeing what people have done to it since we moved out, it looks completely different now
my son would love this house, he only has base game, so this is perfect for him. He loves pink though ❤ And he happens to be home sick from school today so maybe when he wakes up we will update his game and I'll get this for him ❤
Interestingly, there was a house JUST like this in a rural suburban community I used to live in in Mississippi. All the other houses were normal brown/tan craftsman and then BOOM. We called it the Salmon Mansion (it was also huge) lol
From building only black/white/millenial grey houses to adding more and more colour to building a pink house, James has the best character development arch 😂
The little wall knob thing I've only ever seen in southwestern style homes in the US. The architecture is kind of a combination of Spanish colonial and adobe. It would be so cool to see you do a build in that style!
omg this is what I was hoping to see when the new swatches were released, silly builds are always a good time!! love this light pink colour, it reminds me of the freezer bunny 🩷
I think they added a lot of new pink swatches to the Spanish style pieces because of the last pack. Mexico and Mexico City uses a lot of pink. Houses, architecture details, etc. Mexico is very colorful, and loves pink. There’s even a special shade a pink known around the world as Mexican Pink or Rosa Mexicano. 🩷🇲🇽
James *is excited about new swatches and builds a pink house because of it* Also James *struggles to find pink swatches because there actually aren't that many*
In the base game, there is a flooring that is a very light pink I like to use in the bedrooms or patios. If I recall correctly, the name of it was ancient or antique flooring.
I kinda like the odd bits of modern furniture in the older style build. It's giving young Sim (couple/family) with not a lot of money buy(/inherit) their first home. Like they're trying to keep in there with the building's age a bit, but they're using more modern furniture they brought with them from their old place too (because they haven't got the money to just replace whatever they want) or like they're just using what came with the house (again money reasons). And they just love pink. The whole build tells a story. I love it. And you never really get any poverty themed Barbie houses, do you? So it's unique.
Hey James don’t know if you’ll see this but I think a cool mini series/ challenge you can do is a teen/young adult like a barista that goes from sleep on someone’s couch to getting a room then moving to an apartment, house, finally a mansion but they’re not expanding their current home. You can build the house of course if you’d like.
First, before Growing Together, we get a Swatch Update of 1000+ swatches, and now, we get exactly 650 swatches, which is exactly 350 LESS than the previous update, and the fact NEITHER did the mail boxes is a SHAME! Viva La Mail Box Swatches!
I think It's their scheme! They probably want people to buy the pack which has knitting coz we will want to make pink mailbox covers so will have to buy the pack 🤔
I love how he's almost done with the series with tiny town and their different colors and now we have more colors 😂 I just guess we will just need more tiny town videos and add the new stuff I'm ok with that 😂😂
you could do another pink house in oasis springs to use the more concrete pillars. It could have a modern extension with the glass door with the pink tinted windows.
I grew up in Fort Myers, Florida across the street from a little, older lady named Miss Lily who lived in the cutest pink house ever! I thought she was fabulous! Her house was really nice and pink; and she even had pink shag carpet in her boudoir. 🤣 I was most impressed by an oil portrait of herself and her little poodle 🐩!! 💖💗💕💓
Why am I actually so obsessed with the pink fence from the start? I would really love to see you or Deli do a colour build challenge or a building challenge together[eg you have 5 mins to build, and then you swap, and then keep going until both are complete?]Also I love your channel loads!:]
i definitely think the build was worth your time! i love that you take ridiculous build challenges seriously and try to do your best to make something look good. i think you're a super creative builder, and seeing what you can come up with when your hands are tied is really inspiring (and fun to watch lol)
My best friend growing up had a pink house that was all pink just like this one on the outside. 😂😂 It's still there, still pink. It's very well known in our tiny town.
I love your build videos, especially when you use all of the content (Because I live vicariously through you because I can't afford the $2,000 worth of dlc lmao) I wish you'd do more build videos >.< I'd really love to see you do something like a downton abbey build, big old castle in 1910's era rich british peopleness lol, as period correct as possible, I think it would be a great challenge for you and be really cool to see your style adapt to the time period!
So maybe it's more of an American thing, but quite a few people do put lamps in the kitchen as well as the overhead lights. I love that aesthetic. It's very cozy and comforting.
I really love the purple swatch in the new nursery kit, i wish they had stuck more to that nice light purple with all the items (glares at the rocking chair) we definitely could use more pastel swatches of stuff instead of just the dark purple and horrific magenta.
Putting a little lamp on a kitchen counter isn't weird at all. Interior decorators do it all the time! It's super cute and adds more layers of lighting which is a good thing!
I like how James Turner decides there are more pink swatches and then just builds an entire house with base game pink swatches that already existed in the game basically before the update lol
I hope some of the additional tiles + path swatches we're getting match some of the existing sidewalks and other similar patterned floors from around the worlds, would be awesome since mismatch paths and driveways always stick out like a sore thumb for me as a builder. I've resorted to screenshotting some of the pathways individual "tiles" and just making my own custom content in the past, so it would be nice if they could just give us it as updates to appropriate packs and base game.
i tried to tally the amount of times the word pink was said and i got a total of 168 (probably about ±2). This gives us about 5.3 mentions of the word pink/minute of video. Amazing video I love all the pink.
James last video: "Why is there so much pink??"
James this video: "Why isn't there more pink??"
This right here 😂😂
He loves pink
I was thinking the same thing. 😂
character development 😂
Was coming here to say this lmaooo❤
All the pink ... but they also did a bunch of purple swatches. AFTER the Camilo build episode 🤣
Is more magenta/fucsia than purple
This is exactly what I thought when I saw the purples
I had this thought as soon as I saw the update lmao
I was thinking the same thing! Poor Camilo! 😭
I love how James matches his shirts to the builds
Me too!! 😂
That bear sweater looks so cute and I want one.
the pure purple couch and chair he keeps calling pink are sending me into orbit
Seriously. Fuchsia at best 😂
Kinda of a mauve? Fuschia? It has pink hues? Tones? - but it isn't pink.
Dark magenta is what I call them. We need an dark eggplant, standard royal purple and lilac for every thing.
I’d say it’s dark magenta
Came here to say this!
Love that they added new swatches! But I wish there would have been more toned down lilacs or really dark plum. And also why do we never get lilac windows and doors??! Why? 😭
James, you missed the doors and windows that got new swatches! I think the ones you chose are the ones that had pink swatches before. Seems the Sims team forgot to categorise the new ones as pink.
Yes I was just about to comment that
That and the new sliding glass door is so nice. 😢
Yeah I agree. The purples are still base game purples and I want either dark plum or lilac!
Now this would have been great for Vivienne
This makes me want to download this, make a sim would hates pink and do a rags to riches where the goal is to renovate it and remove all the pink.
the uncomfortable moods would add such a unique challenge too
I'm doing this! I need more challenges and goals
Thank u for this
If any of you do try this, please report back and let me know if you enjoyed it.
my grandmother legitimately lived in a pepto bismol pink house during my childhood 😭😂 this build gave me weird nostalgia i didn’t know id been missing. thank you, james.
wait is the pink freezer bunny guitar not tagged as pink???? that wouldve been perfect
shocking, justice for freezer bunny
21:04 I feel like James has an existential crisis two thirds of the way through
Came here to comment this exactly 🤣
Love that I saw this right at the time too
The purple category needed this so desperately. It’s so hard getting purples to match.
this is actually a footage of me building - all one color, nothing matches, but it makes me happy
“What is pink if not light red?” 😂👏🏻💝

Mojo dojo casa house

why does look like how I pictured my dream home as a 7 year old back in 2002 😭
the colour scheme, the furniture choices and everything

Now we would wait for purple update. I love purple but a lot of purple are reddish purple or really vibrant eye burning purple...I NEED PURPLE
They apparently added a lot of purple, too.
@@christabelle__and almost none match lol
my son would love this house, he only has base game, so this is perfect for him. He loves pink though ❤ And he happens to be home sick from school today so maybe when he wakes up we will update his game and I'll get this for him ❤
Still need more purple. And pretty shades of purple. Not all these muted and dark purples. Bring more lavender and lilac purples
There is finally a plain tall double door WHITE gate! Oh and it’s also pink. 😂
Sandlewood should live in this house, be like a Cupid’s house. Renovate with other packs if you feel like it!
With James color coordinating with his sims, I feel like he needs to tacke the Not So Berry Challenge!
i'm having flashbacks to when cherry blossom trees were added to minecraft
ahem, now in the voice of James Earl Jones: Simba, everything the light touches.... WILL BE PINK!
Seriously, pink craze everywhere
Interestingly, there was a house JUST like this in a rural suburban community I used to live in in Mississippi. All the other houses were normal brown/tan craftsman and then BOOM. We called it the Salmon Mansion (it was also huge) lol
You suit the pink teddy jumper! Should wear pink more often!
From building only black/white/millenial grey houses to adding more and more colour to building a pink house, James has the best character development arch 😂
They gave James the arches he wanted, expect they're not round. More round arches for James!
One thing about James, when he commits to an idea he COMMITS! 😅
I love this little house, and a fun way to showcase which items got new swatches. So cuuute
i love that your wearing a pink top with the pink light in the background :)
Practice from Tiny Town with Vivian.

Now, you can renovate the house James, with all the packs!
omg this is what I was hoping to see when the new swatches were released, silly builds are always a good time!! love this light pink colour, it reminds me of the freezer bunny 🩷
Need a base game Barbie mansion now please James!! 😊❤💖 YOU FORGOT A SINK IN THE KITCHEN!! 🤣🤣🤣
He did remember the sink in the end
James building a pink house??
My favorite youtuber building in my favorite colour! YAY❤🎉

I don't even like pink, but that's exactly what I needed today! Thank you, James! (Yes, petition for MORE PURPLE in the game!!)
As the previous video proved to be true, we need more purple swatches!
Drink every time James says pink
2 mins later : ☠️☠️☠️😵😵😵
Time to build a base game Barbie house 🤣
It's giving hip Grannie and I'm weirdly for it.
It's like the James drinking game - every time you say 'pink,' I can't help but think, 'Let's go Barbie! - Jess
In the base game, there is a flooring that is a very light pink I like to use in the bedrooms or patios. If I recall correctly, the name of it was ancient or antique flooring.
Heck yeah James! I watched lilsimsie's video about the update and REALLY hoped she would do a video with a pink house, but you did one so even better!

You can now update the tiny town houses!!! 🙌🏻
Please
This is the house for me!! So pink. I love it.
Wait. I didn’t know you can paint the stairs foundation like
He did at the end 😮😅 you learn new things every day!
"i do question if this build is really worth my time" LMAO
Hey James don’t know if you’ll see this but I think a cool mini series/ challenge you can do is a teen/young adult like a barista that goes from sleep on someone’s couch to getting a room then moving to an apartment, house, finally a mansion but they’re not expanding their current home. You can build the house of course if you’d like.
It’s giving Delores Umbridge in the best way
Really feel the urge to build with this update love having more options now
My favorite thing about this update is that James just complained about how many pink swatches we have while decorating Camillo's palace. 😂
That's because he wanted purple
First, before Growing Together, we get a Swatch Update of 1000+ swatches, and now, we get exactly 650 swatches, which is exactly 350 LESS than the previous update, and the fact NEITHER did the mail boxes is a SHAME!

LOL!! With that pick wall decoration, the wooden knob, we can now make a pick adobe house.
me, waiting for good 10 min to see if james will put a sink in the kitchen: 😨😨😨😨😨
I didn’t even notice that😂
In the 80’s I remember going into a bathroom just like that one, only it had a thick plush, pink carpet. Interesting times.
I love that added so many new colours. I would also love matching wood swatches across ALL wooden furniture. It drives me crazy!!! 😂
me at 19:48 : I wonder if James will realise he hasn't got a kitchen sink 🤭
me at 28:17 : 🥳
you could do another pink house in oasis springs to use the more concrete pillars. It could have a modern extension with the glass door with the pink tinted windows.

My autistic special interest being all things pink. I need this build
And they still hadn't fixed the railings on the stairs, I wiish you could choose if you want railings on the wall ro not
you should've created the pink palace from Coraline.... Other World included, maybe in the basement... that would be so sick!
Why am I actually so obsessed with the pink fence from the start? I would really love to see you or Deli do a colour build challenge or a building challenge together[eg you have 5 mins to build, and then you swap, and then keep going until both are complete?]Also I love your channel loads!:]

i have never seen the entirety of the base game update and im just learning thru this video and it’s so wonderful
that downstairs bathroom is giving 90s in the most violent way 🤣🤣
This house is making me anxious and I don't know why 😂
A quote from my fave film (steel magnolias)
“Her colours are pink and pink”
“My colours are blush & bashful”
Love that the house has no mirror in the bathroom downstairs and no kitchen sink!
My best friend growing up had a pink house that was all pink just like this one on the outside. 😂😂 It's still there, still pink. It's very well known in our tiny town.
I love your build videos, especially when you use all of the content (Because I live vicariously through you because I can't afford the $2,000 worth of dlc lmao) I wish you'd do more build videos >.< I'd really love to see you do something like a downton abbey build, big old castle in 1910's era rich british peopleness lol, as period correct as possible, I think it would be a great challenge for you and be really cool to see your style adapt to the time period!
So maybe it's more of an American thing, but quite a few people do put lamps in the kitchen as well as the overhead lights. I love that aesthetic. It's very cozy and comforting.
oh i am gonna spend literally all day building now
The sigh of relief when he finally realized he missed the sink and bin lol didn’t realize it had me that much
This house is giving BIGGGGG lilsimsie vibes!
Now make one in blue next to and then green
Omg the arches!! Ive always hated that the arches werent tall/plain enough. Love that theres more pink too my fave color 😁
I really love the purple swatch in the new nursery kit, i wish they had stuck more to that nice light purple with all the items (glares at the rocking chair) we definitely could use more pastel swatches of stuff instead of just the dark purple and horrific magenta.
I honestly believe someone was waiting for the day that james turner made a pink base game build, and it's everything they ever wanted.
i think the peach swatch for the couch could have made well in there, and peach is technically pink too because it's a mix of pink and orange :D
Putting a little lamp on a kitchen counter isn't weird at all. Interior decorators do it all the time! It's super cute and adds more layers of lighting which is a good thing!
I like how James Turner decides there are more pink swatches and then just builds an entire house with base game pink swatches that already existed in the game basically before the update lol
Giving pesto bismol realness in and out of the house but it's cute and charming.

Even if it won’t be the most popular house to download…. We love watching you have so much fun! Love you ❤
Love the simsie vibes with the pink background light and shirt lol.
Of course they add lots of pink after james is already done with viviannes build😂
