I really enjoy these build videos where you take us through your thought process throughout the entire build. Speed builds are great, but these are my favorite. I like seeing the wacky ways you use random objects to make unique builds.
RIP. And technically there was a completely empty island closer to the volcano that he could've used. I mean I'm not mad but other than aiming for consistency in the neighborhood it didn't have to go. I can only guess he wanted to reserve the other empty lot in case he wanted to build a nice big house in the future, which is fair.
The hot tub area's roof was clipping through because of the fence around the ocean area on the interior! (Happens to any room "finished" with a fence.) James' favorite glitch in action.
When you pulled out the bowling set I imagined bowling in a lot like this, throwing the ball too hard and it flies out of the window and into the sea LMAO
The Romance Rig is such a great build! I love the entrance bridge, the bar area is gorgeous, the spot lights really make everything feel so intimate. I think the only thing ya missed was the new game from love struck 😉 woulda been great in the area you were struggling to fill in the end. ❤ LOVE IT!
Oh yes! If I remember correctly Reginald autonomously flirt with somebody during the second attempt, I love how James didn't see it at first and was just baffled
I love how u took little spaces and detailed them so much like the stage, or the bar outside, it turned out great 💜 Maybe u can make a bowling alley and spin the location wheel for the next one, bc thats the funniest one and the hardest to fit xd
I second this because we need more cool looking bowling alley lots! Apparently it requires a Bar lot type to get Sims to use it (based on the lot the devs built for the pack being a Bar and not a new type) so I'd say choose that and then pick a world. They've added bars into most of them but he could replace the one that came with the world which would be nice for the sake of variety. If all else fails, it'd be great for replacing that giant clothing store in Magnolia Promenade. Cool in theory but kind of pointless in practice (I mean if I had High School Years I'd be going there rather than the pre-existing retail clothing stores from Get to Work.)
@@ivonne_lau Exactly! I'd love to download this lot and a bowling alley either way. Whenever I get High School years I'm definitely taking all of my Sims to Thrift Tea if I don't get another build off the gallery lol. I also forget the clothing stores exist until I decide to build something there and then half the time I replace them, for example a small vet clinic with an apartment on top. Which reminds me, I meant to build an even smaller one as a starter vet clinic or else a yoga studio since finding in-door space can be a little bit of a pain otherwise.
@@DoveJS I don't have get to work, bc I had to disable some packs at some point when my game wasn't running almost at all, so I gave up on some of the older ones lol
I am so happily looking forward to Romance to Riches, starring Sandalwood. I know it's a lot to ask, but I'd love it if you kept his grey-hair-and-brave-eye-make-up look. I'm so used to it by now that I've grown to love it. He somehow wouldn't be Sandalwood without it. Also this build is fab and Imma use it in my save.
I like it as a dramatic party outfit, but it’s too much for me all the time. Maybe it’s the combo of the hair cut with the grey hair and the eye make up and the track suit, but it ages him a lot. If he changed the hair style and the outfit, the hair color and make up might be ok. Or vice versa.
If I'm remembering right, he keeps the eye makeup and hair color, but nixed the green cheek stripes. Fair enough, I don't even know why green cheek makeup is in the game
37:54 -- the reason the roof is clipping into the room is because you have a closed "room" using a fence. Sims 4 being the Sims 4, it hates it when an outdoor structure (fence) is used indoors like that
@@SummerSims1they are saying he’s behind because he’s just now about to start the lovestruck let’s play when we are days away from the next expansion pack haha
To be fair, there's not a lot of game play in either of the packs so probably can't get a long let's play out of them anyway so should be fine time wise
😂😂 to actually catch the start of a new Lets Play!! Amazing! Still making my way through the Bigwallet series! But defo watching the new Lets Play along side
This venue is so pretty, you always do the coolest builds James. I really love the entrance and front patio bar moment you created as the jumping off point for this build and your performance stage is perfect for the vibes. 🌴🥥🎶 I'm super looking forward to watching Sandalwood's story unfold in this let's play. Wishing continued luck and success to you and Deli with the kitchen renos! 💕🤞
ahhh so excited at the intro! members content has been making me really excited for the next main letsplay so now even more preparation is making me anticipate it even more!
For the treasure, you could add a treasure chest - I think Island Living came with one, and if it didn't you could use the Horse Ranch one if you want that old, worn down look, and so that you get surprised as well, have Deli pick a random household off of the gallery that can be deleted - or killed using MC Command Center, afterwards, and she'd have the sim dig around in the sand for at least one shell and at least one literal treasure, put them in the chest and then get killed by MC Command Center and disappear off of the face of the Sim Earth. That way, having Deli choose the sim and treasure, or just the treasure, would make you surprised as well. Or just find the Shell and Buried Treasure Collections from Island Living as a room off of the gallery, place it down, go into live mode and directly dump all of the collectibles into the treasure chest, and, so that no one can get to the chest and steal from the chest or the whole chest if they're a kleptomaniac sim, you _move_ the chest to an inaccessible place *cough cough **_-in the roof-_** cough cough*
I don't think the hot tub needs a roof. It's nicer to sit out under the stars. And it solves all the roof problems. You could also have multiple game tables instead of having to choose some other activity to put in that space.
Would a fence through the counters work so you could use a gate to have it looked closed? :|a You just may not be able to use those two counters for seats.
great build! you could use those floor glass things in that entrance area so you walk in and can look down at the fish, and then see them swimming around the trees in the open area!
Suggestion for that area that's blank by the main door: a hosts stand/podium. I'm thinking its a slightly more upscalea and expensive bar (not sure if you can do this in sims but suggesting)
Love build videos, I’ve learned so much from you. I hope the reno is going well, Bowser is doing better with psychical therapy, and both Bowser and Fran adjusting to the reno, and temporary move. Can’t wait for more Bigwallets and Tiny Living. 💕
I think the roof on the hot tub area might be glitching because of the cut out in the floor? The roof coming through is something simsie has complained about something similar on her channel and I think that’s what it was!
There was something about this thumbnail that just instantly transported me back in time to TS3 Island Paradise days and now I feel old again. Edit: typo
been playing DDLV since release and it's one of my comfort games! after taking a small break, i finished welcoming Tiana after i was done with the DLC. also i need to build in Sulani more, the lots can be so much better there.
It's so nice to watch James build without lag, bugs and roof issues!
fr! lol
feels like a treat
well the roof issues do make an appearance but honestly when do they not?
That says a lot about the state of the game 😓
@@just_jana9959 Oh, they were so minor that after tiny town I wont even call them roof issues :D

thiss!!! i love seeing the way creators think and the things they come with in real time. i feel like its a good way to learn to build urself as well.
RIP Oil Rig, you were a real one 😞

2:59 mmhmm, their "beautiful" wedding that happened twice and where they almost broke up 😂 that wedding was so damn chaotic
"Baby together" 😂 that made me laugh way more than it probably should have 😂😂
I legit stopped what I was doing and just broke out laughing
I giggled at that too 😂
Just got to this part and had to excuse myself with the Uber driver for scaring him with the cackling I just did 😂
Haha me too

Deleting the floor and adding a fence was so much better than the glass floor item. I'll have to remember that!
Can't wait for Sandalwood, it's his time to shine!

Love JT builds. So technical. I love Dr Gluon for the absolute creative insanity and Deli for the beautiful decor
Everyone has their own unique way of doing things, and I love it!
17:45 “a glass window” amused me for some reason
It might be cute to put a little table with towels on it by the ladder into the water! Maybe even a fake hamper too for 'used towels' :)
Lmao I thought the date wheel is the death wheel at first and thought the aesthetic changed A LOT from the members setup video 😂
Oh yes! If I remember correctly Reginald autonomously flirt with somebody during the second attempt, I love how James didn't see it at first and was just baffled
"The Oil Rig" would be a cool name for an underground music venue or tattoo parlor or something
It makes me so happy to see Semaj doing TS4 videos with the SAME enthusiasm as 10 years ago, i love your energy and positive vibe so much. 💚
This is gorgeous 😍
One thing to take up space on the game side could be a fish tank. Like that cute one from dine out.
I love how u took little spaces and detailed them so much like the stage, or the bar outside, it turned out great 💜

Getting to see james’ dreamlight valley has me opening the game immediately! Such a good ad 😂
Commenting for the algorithm so we can pay for that kitchen reno!
Coming from only watching his tiny town videos to watching this him doing the roof absolutely shocked me 😮😂
Yea James' serious build videos always amaze me. I love the Let's play builds too though 👌
37:54 -- the reason the roof is clipping into the room is because you have a closed "room" using a fence. Sims 4 being the Sims 4, it hates it when an outdoor structure (fence) is used indoors like that
James, you’re getting behind. You may need an LP about an undertaker dating a reaper 😂
Well I would not say he is behind the pack comes out at the end of the month. Mini lol
To be fair he is in the middle of alot of irl stuff like full kitchen renovation and temporary moving and having a barely year old puppy
@@SummerSims1they are saying he’s behind because he’s just now about to start the lovestruck let’s play when we are days away from the next expansion pack haha
@@xjbgforeverx yes I don't think it's a problem though. He said he been busy moving

I recommend starting with the High School Years series. It was a lot of fun!

Now I want to download this into Sulani and play in Sulani. Loving this build that much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going to use this build as inspo for my Planet Zoo guest view point for my crocodiles!!! lol
The new Lovestruck game would be so good to include here.
Was coming to say that 😊
Putting darts board next to entrance would be so wild like good luck trying to enter this place 😂
ahhh so excited at the intro! members content has been making me really excited for the next main letsplay so now even more preparation is making me anticipate it even more!
This would honestly be such a fun build challenge to do! To have the wheels to spin and use for creating all kinds of fun builds.
Ah yes, the Boat Hole Café. James refused to add the lot trait Clothing Optional during that livestream

James preparing for Sandalwood series???
If the next Rags to Riches is about dating, I hope James make a “bachelor” style game show with sudden death like that Semaj valentines episode
I don't think the hot tub needs a roof. It's nicer to sit out under the stars. And it solves all the roof problems. You could also have multiple game tables instead of having to choose some other activity to put in that space.
Yes, james. The well-known pack "baby together"😂
First minute is INSANE!
ohhhh I missed regular building videos not on rental lots!! I hope you'll do more random spin builds videos? 👀
Why didn't you use the Island Living Hala trees in the water? They have the roots out of the earth look.
Uuuh~ a new wheel! 🤩 this is going to be exciting!
My love for how much James loves wheels is more than James loves wheels.
I'm just happy I'm not the only one where the mouse wants to not rotate all the way at times. Lol love the build.
Btw. Wish we could put fishing point with and extended deck out the back would be cool
Know we just need the Sulani bowling place😂
fun fact: palms are actually not trees- they're more closely related to grasses! 13:11
It's a really nice lounge, James. Too bad you didn't add any tiki torches inside or outside the lounge.
13:07 Actually, palms are technically grass, not trees! The more you know.
I like this! Nice venue for a nice location...
Omg love this!!! Would love to see more 🧡🩷
FISH TANKS BY THE ENTRANCE! 🐟😁
My life is complete. A James Build. Im so happy.
I love that the wheels are just a staple of the channel now. Long love the wheel!
Would a fence through the counters work so you could use a gate to have it looked closed? :|a You just may not be able to use those two counters for seats.
I’m so excited for this let’s play!!! You’re so creative!
Fun fact: palms are not trees. They are grass.
At least botanically.
The weird lighting and the roof clipping was probably from opening up the floor with the fence. Maybe? 🤔
lmao i'm here playing the grimm challenge.. while i waited to get angelfish i wanted to put this lot in my game but is not even in the library yet 😅
Aquariums would have been a great idea as decoration in this build.
great build! you could use those floor glass things in that entrance area so you walk in and can look down at the fish, and then see them swimming around the trees in the open area!

THIS BUILD IS SO COOL ❤ so excited for the new lp, cant afford all the new packs so living vicariously through the bigwallets lol
not going to lie… very happy to see the oil rig go

I love Disney dreamlight, I got the most hours in it from my whole steam list.
Created also a nice beach home, I love it.
Yes James get your money with that ad! ❤
been playing DDLV since release and it's one of my comfort games! after taking a small break, i finished welcoming Tiana after i was done with the DLC.
also i need to build in Sulani more, the lots can be so much better there.
Would LOVE to see more of your DDV builds!
I think there are mangroves in Sulani that you could access through debug
More James builds spinning these two wheels please 😍
A full bubble blowing bar could be interesting
BEAUTIFUL LOT THIS ONE!!! I Want to go here...
I really liked this one. Good episode James!!
Don't forget to add bookshelves(reading), video games, electronics, cinemas, to the list!!
James look in Island Living DEBUG, you will find the rocks and the Mangroves you were looking foor, there so much more in DEBUG.
I think I’m gonna go be a member again today purely for the new let’s play videos (+ to support you more ofc)
yes... come back... there's two near-hour videos setting up the next let's play >:)
I think you should add another bar near the entrance, a lot of lounges IRL will have multiple bars
I think a fish tank would‘ve looked good in this lounge!
Sooo ready for another big wallet let’s play! Cannot wait for the new pack😊🥳
Random or not, I really like the cutout in the floor directly to the ocean beneath! And in general a cery nice lot, that I want to put in my own game!
I'm so excited for the new LP ahhh
You're telling me there's a whole island expansion pack and they never bothered to include a ukulele, steel drums, or a conga? 🤦♀
Please stream Dreamlight valley too. I would love to see how you design your valley! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nobody:
James: “let’s add a modern extension here with industrial vibes and floor to ceiling windows for absolutely no reason” 😂
Sweet build. Excited to see tou visit it!
Loved this build! Hope you are all having an amazing day :)
You need the Whoo hoo game!!
Really excited for the LP!! ❤
I need more of these vids please, I love the mini challenge and am feeling so inspired!!
Absolutely love the build James and I love your videos ❤
Build video, yay!
Love the videos James. Thank you for making videos and inspiring us. We have used your site, it is so helpful.
I wanna watch James play dream light valley!!
James, the king of wheels
Beautiful build ❤
