Please don't worry for a moment about resting when you need to. It is widely recognized that moving home is extraordinarily stressful, you have done so twice in very quick succession, during a global pandemic! Trust this old lady, burnout is devastating and nothing is worth the long term physical and metal health impacts of it. So when you need a break, know that we are all here ready to welcome you back *only when* you are properly ready to return, we value you as a person even more than we value the content you produce. With love and best wishes, always
Has James ever done the Black Widow Challenge? Perhaps that (with a Rags to Riches twist) could be where he goes next with the Bigwallets until there’s a new expansion pack?
You could totally see James perking up and getting comfortable as the build went through. Great energy and great build glad to have these popping up on my feed again 💜
Someone needs to make a mod that makes a kitchen bench into a bin, so many people hide their bins in a cupboard. First thing I thought about where you placed yours, is when the sun comes through the big window, it would heat it up and make it smelly 😂
There is one on Mod the Sims. I don't remember the name of the modder but it will be in build buy, kitchen, and you might find it. The modder turned the kitchen counters into a trash bin.
James: won't put stoves next to fridges because having something hot next to something cold is "weird" Also James: puts a fridge on the same wall as fireplace
i love this house!! also, take your time james - moving house is meant to be one of the most stressful things to do in life so it's totally understandable that you may be feeling off, or exhausted, whatever :) we'll still be here through the screen
Is it funny that this house ended up with a lot of similarities to James' new home with the long section, series of boxy rooms, living to the side?.... At least at the start of the build. I think James has had the new house on his mind too much.😅 Time for something to de-stress!💖
I dunno, he was talking about builds he’s been seeing recently around him. Sounds like it’s just inspired by what he’s been viewing when looking for properties.
@@LAURA--- That too probably. It wasn't a criticism. If anything it's just a natural way we subconsciously work through things sometimes... either in building or in stories we do with Sims.
Glad to see you just having fun and building in the sims. We've all missed you. I hope you are feeling better. I've been rewatching the cottage living LP since you've been gone.
Hi James! I hope you'll feel better again soon! I love your commentary while you play the sims, but honestly I'd watch you play any game or do any activity. If you're feeling like you're stuck with your content, know that many of us are here for you, not just the sims ;)
What a lovely build to come back to! Really love the contemporary family angle of this. Take all of the time you need to recharge and renew, moving is always a big stressor even when things go smoothly!
Just moved from a flat to my first house. IT’S EXHAUSTING!! Take all the time you need and bloody enjoy it, it’ll all be worth it in the end creating your first (maybe last) forever home with Deli and Bowser 🏡💝
I love how the owner of the last bedroom just became James’ favourite through the build. Got a TV, laptop and all sorts of other stuff. I’m here for it
Ok I really, really love this house. It's gorgeous and reminds me of something I might see as the finished house on some HGTV show....magazine worthy to be sure! I'm definitely downloading this - great job! I hope you get better soon - I don't have twitter so I didn't know you were feeling under the weather for a while. Take your time to recover and no worries about the uploading schedule, your health come first.
I like it. I wasn't sure at first, but it turned out cute. Take care of yourself James. That's more important than throwing videos our way, even though we really enjoy them.
Don’t mind me being mind blown about the fact that the sun travels from east to north then west in the southern hemisphere. It makes totally sense but it’s one of those things you never think about and I’m about as shook as you can be right now. It’s like that one time I overheard an air hostess tell a child „no we are being pushed by cars or did you ever see a plane fly backwards“ like yes I have seen it hundreds of times that planes are being pushed by cars when reversing but in my mind it was always the pilot just reversing the plane 💀
Missed you, Semaj! I'm glad to know you're feeling better, and take as much time as you need. I hope everything is going well in the new home! This was a classic James build hahaha
Ah, sorry to hear you've not felt well. Glad you're on the upswing, tho. Moving is so stressful, take it easy now that you're done. I really love that built-in with the fridge, and the vaulted ceiling in the lounge room. If you need one more counter seat, could you make one of the counter island pieces into a corner that would accommodate an extra seat? I can't recall if there is enough space, but if there is, it would round seats out to four instead of three. That blew my mind about the sunny side being north in Ozzy instead of south in the northern hemisphere. I'm pretty good about thinking of the seasons being opposite, but never went there about the directions, haha. If the sun rose in the west, that would really be freaky, but thank goodness it doesn't.
Thank you for the video James! No need to apologize, we will all be here waiting to see the next video whenever it comes. Take care of you! All the best.
This turned out incredible! It's great to see you back James and to see you get back into a groove where you're enjoying yourself. Please don't feel any guilt for taking time off when you need it. We'll be here when you are ready to come back :)
Honestly I adore this build A LOT. James was relaxed and in the mindset of purely enjoying himself and playing around, going with some of his classic style while playing around with pieces he doesn’t often explore. I always love his work most when he’s going in with the intent to just enjoy himself 💛💛💛
Welcome back James! We really appreciate your videos but we are also really glad you are taking time for yourself. Wishing for better days for you, Deli and Bowser 💖
I really love seeing your thought process through all the building. Also don’t let not uploading add to the stress you’re already dealing with. You have loyal fans and we’re here waiting patiently. Don’t rush. Don’t push yourself too hard. A happy and healthy James is the best kind of James. Sending love!
So happy to see you added content, but hope you're feeling better, your health is more important than our entertainment. I loved this build, thank you, and when your are feeling better, can't wait to see more!!! I have been watching your older lets play's to keep me entertained.
In the absence of new posts my 9 year old has been binge watching the Bigwallet Series. Even my 3 year old demands "James Turner". Moving is very stressful... so no need to feel bad about not producing new material.
Glad to have you back. I love that you have decent spacial orientation for the Sims. I feel like a lot of Simmers just don't care about it so long as the Sim can use it and it's so frustrating to watch! No dining room would be my choice too! Such a waste of space, lol. The breakfast bar and couches are plenty! I wish the game had those cool coffee tables that turn to tables. 😅
I think this is the most Australian house I've ever seen you build. I swear every single builder uses the same general floorplans that look basically the same.
Holy moly what a house! I'm amazed at how it ended, nothing to do with how it started haha. Loving the kitchen, living and the outside looks sweet! The attention to detail was spot on.
Semaj! I’ve just bingewatched most of the bigwallet series :) We’ve been missing your videos, you’re so funny and through yourvideos I’ve learned a bunch of things about all the expansions and building in sims 4. I’ve been playing this game since I was ten and now that my little sister became a fellow simmer too, watching your videos with her just feels like a full circle. I also adore your accent and energy :) so thank you for all your videos and the great energy that you put in each one of them. I hope that you feel better soon :) Non-related but I had to google why they kept calling you Semaj.
Awww, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! At least your building skills haven't gotten too rusty -- this one feels like a sort of faux-duplex with the double-front thing it's got going on there. And yeah, who needs dining tables anyway? XD
I'm honestly so glad that this video came out today, I've been complaining to my boyfriend a bunch about the fact that I miss regular uploads. Thanks for this today, much appreciated xx
I would have put the master bedroom in the back so that the master overlooks the pool. I really like it though and I actually kind of love this style of house.
happy you’re back! love your videos. but never feel bad for taking time off if you feel you need it! you’re only human! rest well and recover if you need to. we’ll still be here when you come back 💗
I like when James goes to the last bedroom, it look like the same room as my daughter's and him saying "Don't know if it's good for someone to give a child a Tv in a room." I love it.

Aww I agree, that was perfect 👍🏼
seconded!!
Couldn’t agree more!
Aww, a good, chill, old-fashion let’s build. That’s the James I know and love.
Yeah, I absolutely love these.
Has James ever done the Black Widow Challenge? Perhaps that (with a Rags to Riches twist) could be where he goes next with the Bigwallets until there’s a new expansion pack?
Maybe with that new hard mode mod by Carl. Black widow challenge is too easy otherwise
Don’t think so 🤔
Could use the spa day since the new update added ways to make money!
love that idea
Yes!!!
You could totally see James perking up and getting comfortable as the build went through. Great energy and great build glad to have these popping up on my feed again 💜
I'm glad you took some time to yourself. I've missed the Bigwallet series, but taking care of yourself is more important!
Someone needs to make a mod that makes a kitchen bench into a bin, so many people hide their bins in a cupboard. First thing I thought about where you placed yours, is when the sun comes through the big window, it would heat it up and make it smelly 😂
RVSN has a bin that goes into a cupboard
RVSN has a custom bin called Counter-Fit Waste Bin which turns a counter into a bin xx
Thank you both! I haven't seen that but will be seeking it out for sure!
There is one on Mod the Sims. I don't remember the name of the modder but it will be in build buy, kitchen, and you might find it. The modder turned the kitchen counters into a trash bin.
@@marieduran6286 I was just about to post this lol
James: won't put stoves next to fridges because having something hot next to something cold is "weird"
Also James: puts a fridge on the same wall as fireplace
I’v missed a JT build popping up. Wooo! Instantly makes the day better!
i love this house!! also, take your time james - moving house is meant to be one of the most stressful things to do in life so it's totally understandable that you may be feeling off, or exhausted, whatever :) we'll still be here through the screen

Exactly
I definitely felt that immediately when he did the first floor plan! It was my first thought
I thought this too. haha.
James has the best laugh. I love how this build turned out.
this house reminds me so much of a scandinavian vacation home, love the combination of wood, brick and concrete.
Glad to see you just having fun and building in the sims. We've all missed you. I hope you are feeling better. I've been rewatching the cottage living LP since you've been gone.
Such a nice house. You could even add an outside dining table on the back verandah as a dining option.
Hi James! I hope you'll feel better again soon! I love your commentary while you play the sims, but honestly I'd watch you play any game or do any activity. If you're feeling like you're stuck with your content, know that many of us are here for you, not just the sims ;)
So many beds, no dining room and only three bar stools… perfect for the sims, who stand up even in grand meals with the whole family 😂
it's for sims who don't like each other!
What a lovely build to come back to! Really love the contemporary family angle of this. Take all of the time you need to recharge and renew, moving is always a big stressor even when things go smoothly!
Glad you've been taking it easy James! You deserve it! Love all your content!
Just moved from a flat to my first house. IT’S EXHAUSTING!! Take all the time you need and bloody enjoy it, it’ll all be worth it in the end creating your first (maybe last) forever home with Deli and Bowser 🏡💝
Yes I had a hard time finding the pool ladder after the cottage living pack, I think. I always love your builds! Hope you feel even better real soon.
I love how the owner of the last bedroom just became James’ favourite through the build. Got a TV, laptop and all sorts of other stuff. I’m here for it

Missed you, Semaj! I'm glad to know you're feeling better, and take as much time as you need. I hope everything is going well in the new home!
This was a classic James build hahaha
Welcome back. I didn't realize how much I missed your giddy excitement and "Aaaaah, yeeeeaaahhs!" Hope you continue feeling better.
FYI we love when you just have fun and build stuff
I had no idea where this build was going but I was really pleasantly surprised by the end. Your creativity is extraordinary!
Ah, sorry to hear you've not felt well. Glad you're on the upswing, tho. Moving is so stressful, take it easy now that you're done.

my day gets instantly better when james uploads
Feel better, James! Looking forward to having you back soon!
Good to see you back! We understand the need for breaks though - we support your mental health!!
Hope your feeling better James! Thank you for all the great content you put out. You’re my favorite YT. 🙂
Thank you for the video James! No need to apologize, we will all be here waiting to see the next video whenever it comes. Take care of you! All the best.
It's ok to take time for yourself! I'm glad you felt good enough to make a video and in your time come back!
This turned out incredible! It's great to see you back James and to see you get back into a groove where you're enjoying yourself. Please don't feel any guilt for taking time off when you need it. We'll be here when you are ready to come back :)
So happy you’re back 😭 and glad you’re feeling better. Glad to see you prioritizing your well-being
Only James can start a builod with one square and end up with three rectangles xD
I love this house! One of my favorite Sims builds I’ve seen in a while.
Honestly I adore this build A LOT. James was relaxed and in the mindset of purely enjoying himself and playing around, going with some of his classic style while playing around with pieces he doesn’t often explore. I always love his work most when he’s going in with the intent to just enjoy himself 💛💛💛
I love how clean looking they look ( no unneccary bs -just nice looking house)
Welcome back James! We really appreciate your videos but we are also really glad you are taking time for yourself. Wishing for better days for you, Deli and Bowser 💖

Don’t rush. Don’t push yourself too hard. A happy and healthy James is the best kind of James. Sending love!
I like his build James, thanks.
that blank wall between living and kitchen is the perfect place for a family photo gallery if you download to play in.
Love how ya boxed the fridge in...Im gonna use that idea now lol..glad you are feeling a bit better!!! rest up..we need more vids from ya!
I’d love to see a matching family for this, a little bit of backstory to the characters as well.
Great to have you back James. Take all the time you need to feel better.
You don't always have to make the fanciest videos, James, we're here for a bit of nice, chill building, too! :D
we all just need a break sometimes. Hope you feel better soon James!
James with the open shelves in the kitchen you should of put the BALL OF YARN!😉 LOL
James is the best builder… why do I always forget? Honestly so cute
So happy to see you added content, but hope you're feeling better, your health is more important than our entertainment. I loved this build, thank you, and when your are feeling better, can't wait to see more!!! I have been watching your older lets play's to keep me entertained.
In the absence of new posts my 9 year old has been binge watching the Bigwallet Series. Even my 3 year old demands "James Turner". Moving is very stressful... so no need to feel bad about not producing new material.
Geez even story progression isn't enough to bring James back to the Sims 4....we are all doomed :(
Glad to have you back. I love that you have decent spacial orientation for the Sims.

I think this is the most Australian house I've ever seen you build. I swear every single builder uses the same general floorplans that look basically the same.
Yay! James is back! So happy to see this video.
Weird... but, as always, I appreciate James trying to do something different and wanting to be accurate about which direction the sun rises from. :D
Holy moly what a house! I'm amazed at how it ended, nothing to do with how it started haha. Loving the kitchen, living and the outside looks sweet! The attention to detail was spot on.

the island living ladders became near impossible to locate after the pond tool update
Awww, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! At least your building skills haven't gotten too rusty -- this one feels like a sort of faux-duplex with the double-front thing it's got going on there. And yeah, who needs dining tables anyway? XD
I'm honestly so glad that this video came out today, I've been complaining to my boyfriend a bunch about the fact that I miss regular uploads. Thanks for this today, much appreciated xx
Great build! Hope you're back to full health soon, but take all the time you need until then! Looking forward to the next one. :)
Love how this one turned out!!
I think this is one of my favorite builds you've done.
Love ur build videos. So relaxing.
I would have put the master bedroom in the back so that the master overlooks the pool. I really like it though and I actually kind of love this style of house.
Nice to have you back! Hope you are well rested x
Watching you build was relaxing. Thanks, James.
Love it! Feels like a nice house to play in :D
I learned so much during this build. I always wanted to do an open pitched roof and closed in the same area! Lovely as always!
best birthday gift ever - a new video!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the amount of plants that people are using in sims now. Granted the new kit🙄, but as a plant mom I appreciate the detail!
Seeing you actively getting inspired by your own build was very fun and nice to watch :)
Thanks for the upload James! Nice to see a build from you after a while, hope you do feel a little bit better! :)
James: maybe a tv for a kids room is a bad idea
Me: I had a little tv and I turned out- well...hm........it wasn't the tv that messed me up ok.
So happy you’ve been taking time to yourself to settle in and focus on your wellbeing! 💕
Love this build James you did great! I can’t wait to download it when I have the same packs lol almost there
Hey James! Glad to see you are feeling better
happy you’re back! love your videos. but never feel bad for taking time off if you feel you need it! you’re only human! rest well and recover if you need to. we’ll still be here when you come back 💗
this build is super nice ! and also, take ur time james, hope u feel better
i like the combo
James: realistic functional
deli: pretty but chaotic
not james thanos snapping that bedroom into existence 😂
I hope the Prison challenge comes back! Would be amazing with all the new packs & updates!
Love it as always, James!
Welcome back with a great classic Semaj build with a nice twist!
It's always a good day when James posts! (: Feel better soon!
Hope you feel better soon. Love this house.
I love how you didn’t give them any sort of table at all 🤣 neither dining nor a coffee table but surely everyone has a TV in their room😂😂
Hope you'll be feeling better soon James!
I had a tv in my bedroom growing up. I bought it with my birthday money when i was 11. I loved to have it
This build is genius
Very nicely sized for a family!
Hope you feel better soon. This house is gorgeous!
I like when James goes to the last bedroom, it look like the same room as my daughter's and him saying "Don't know if it's good for someone to give a child a Tv in a room." I love it.
This is a really cool house! I'd love to play in it. Don't have all packs, but might be able to make it work
