James I think I got an interesting challenge for you! Instead of building a single house that 8 Sims can live in, why not make 8 trailers on a single lot? A mini trailer park! I think it has some potential like maybe some fancy nice upkept trailers and a few run down trailers, I think it would be fun to watch for sure.
omg this is a great idea how cool!
Yes! Sims 2 apartments has a trailer park and for the wheels they used the decorative wall wheel, that would be very interesting to see in sims 4
oh! Id love to see him build a multi home lot like that too. that'd be really interesting
i have one i’ll upload it if y’all want. i have one trailer my sim lives in and she’s like the land lord and just a bunch of roommates living in the others
Don’t mind me doing that right now
Why was I getting so stressed when he was going to put couches next to the kitchen instead of a dining table?
I‘m glad I‘m not the only one. It was bugging me so much
Damn, same. It was stressing me out so bad
Same, I was screaming
Oh my god me too. I was yelling about how there was nowhere to eat
Most of it stressed me out 🤣
James: debug is cheating
**lilsimsie has left the chat**
🤣
needmesomepie ha!
Haha very funny, lilsimsie should do a challenge where she makes a house under twenty thousand dollars without using debug
Landscaping will be minimised by A LOT
😅
@Birb x Rick Astley 😂😂😂 i can hear it now
"what's going to make this house look better, a tree or a shower? they've got a sink they don't need a shower too"
"who needs an oven when you can just have cereal from a cheap cooler, see now we have flowers"
**looking at a barely functional house with a tree and two flowers** "i came into this so confident"
would definitely be a fun video😂
very true
James: I think we need some greenery in here
James: Paints the couch green
Me: face palm
Cameron Hankin I read your comment as it happened😂😂😂
time stamp? i think i passed it and didn't realize xD
*has 70 simoleons left and doesn't add plant*
Lol
@@gracewheeler3347 they were to cover the cheaper lights.
something about the way james gets so excited about "BATUUUUU" hits me every time i swear what a total cutie
I think the same. James is just so sweet.
BIG MAN JAMESSS
I call it journey to
Butt hole
Please how can I find you on sims 4
IKR!! 😆
Challenge idea: take one of your “solid color houses” and renovate it by ONLY changing the swatches on the existing furniture so it becomes colorful
AND use debug items at that
I see u everywhere
Awesome idea. It might break him to actually use colors. Hope he does it!
Wow you are committed to this challenge, I've seen your comment a lot recently
I see you everywhere
As someone who lives in a house with six people, two bathrooms aren’t enough XD
Me too, i live away from hom every weekend cause i prefer living with my aunt. Two adults 5 kids(inl. Me) and a baby. Its hard going out for dinner or lunch cause if yoh stuff yourself you wont make jt to the bathroom XD
When I was a kid, my childhood home had one and a half bathrooms, and four bedrooms- and there were seven of us living there. I remember it being a bit tough sometimes - but we managed just fine😂
I lived in a house with 6 people and ONLY one bathroom. It was a NIGHTMARE
Agree
I have 1 bathroom with 5 people, was 6 but my oldest sister moved out.
Did anyone notice that the single bed room off the dining room would have made a great double room with ensuite?
Idk if I'm the only one, but whenever I hear the energetic "Hey guys, James here today!" I feel the urge to reply with "Hey James, guys here today!"... it doesn't make any sense but somehow my brain always wants me to say that...
Nah I feel the same, I just get a wave of happy energy, that’s why I love James so much
Hey today, guys here James!
SAY IT
I'm obsessed with this thought and will in fact be saying it at the start of all his videos now
That line of rooms and beds right at the beginning gave me flashbacks to the Sims Prison series from way back.
omfg i thought it was just me it made me wanna go back and watch it
Yes like a row of prison cells with dodgy beds in each one
You should do a post-apocalypse build, with Eco Lifestyle and the hated Star wars. Like an underground, off the grid, beat down, self-sufficient with steampunk/industrial inspi' build. Make it an appartement complex, or a build for a big family.
Unrelated but I would also love it if you did a Medieval Dynasty Gameplay !!!!!
For post apocalyptic you should add strangerville.
I would love that, everyone I normally watch is ignoring Batuu and I just wanna see stuff 😂😭
I’m very proud of you for putting colours on the walls
alternative title: James second guessing his decissions for 23 minutes straight
James: *making $20,000 8 sim home
James: *makes the house massive
Me: as Simsie says, make it smaller
James: thinks 3x3 bathrooms are small
Me: regularly shoves a bed in a 2x3 room and calls it a bedroom
Me too. 2x3 is a perfectly reasonable size for a small single bedroom. Sometimes I'll even cut out one corner if it'll allow for a bit of extra space elsewhere... the sim gets a single bed + one activity (stuffed toy / easel / etc) in the 5 tiles, that's plenty! 😄
(I even tried out a 4 tile bedroom once - in the impossible challenge - but ended up deciding that nothing but the bed was just too cruel. So I upgrade it to 5 tiles... 😂)
James: Everyone has bins in the kitchen counters, not just on the floor
Me: *cries in poor*
same I feel like thats the most rich people thing I've heard all day lmao
Me: lives in a house made in the early 2000s where trash compactors were too expensive to do/no one has their trash cans inside the counters.... :P
I know there is such a thing as a trash can built into the counter, but I assumed what he meant was that real kitchen counters have space under them and people often put a trash can inside of them?
Mine's on the floor. You can only have a little bin in the counters, mine is a 13gallon x2 trash & recycling bin. It is snazzy.
@@decemberelegy Why? If your trash is lidded (better because of vermin attraction) it doesn't get smelly.
James: 'this house doesn't really look good'
Me: 'looks like all the builds I make, but okay'
But if you made a household with 8 sims, wouldn't you get more starting funds...?
Exactly what I thought. It's 32000 simoleons I thought
For 8 sims you do get more funds. James doesn't really play with families at the start so probably didn't know.
Yes good point!
or he does realize that and is keeping it under 20k as a challenge....
If you start as a couple and naturally have the babies you wouldn't have the extra money. I'm playing that way in a legacy style.
I prefer live build more than speed build. I love your builds. Please do more videos of them. 😁
Hey, James, with all the new packs that have come out, maybe it's time to do a ranking video again, maybe? I do value your opinion A LOT... No? Just me then...?
You’re not alone, I would love an updated ranking too! 👌🏻
I like that it's big enough for player to fill in with stuff as they progress. However, the wasted $$ from the extra shower & random corner table in the bedroom bothers me. Those could be removed & instead get a toddler potty, a toy, and at least decor item. Then it's a more complete house.
8 people share one shower? Good luck.
@@mandowarrior123 but there would still be the tub - 8 sims sharing 1 shower and 1 tub isn't so bad
@@jesscarrier4180 by game logic you could save on most all things. The idea is to make something resembling a functional house.
@@mandowarrior123 well yeah, but your comment seemed to be about how tough it would be to have 8 sims and only 1 shower. I was pointing out that it's actually 1 shower and 1 tub for 8 sims - as far as hygiene goes, that probably wouldn't be too difficult to manage. I agree this place doesn't really resemble a functional house all that well though.
don't let lilsimsie hear you say using debug is cheating XD
He's not wrong though ^^
@@aloeme oh I agree
LilSimsie often says it is cheating. She just doesn't care. XD
I think it’s just you James, most homes come with some nature that your not paying for. Debug is the best!
I think it would be fair to use trees, bushes, and flowers from debug, but any potted plants, planter boxes, or indoor plants would be paid for. That seems to be how it usually is in real life.
Yeah in real life weeds grow for free!(;
As someone who works for a home builder... You definitely are paying for landscaping.
@@Petsrme307 they said some
James: Putting the bin in the bathroom is weird
Well the sims plan to use that sink anyways so it's convenient
if you look up starter home style in the dictionary, it is said that this house is pictured
Semaj: *puts a bin in the bathroom*
Sims going to the bathroom all the time to wash their plate: "Yeeesssssss Semajjj!!!!!"
Ok when you put a toddler bed I feel like you need to put down a bathtub *and* a toddler potty.
One thing I've been wondering for a while now, especially watching lilsimsie's builds and now this, is it normal to put carpets underneath dining tables? I never would do that, imagine all the food stuck there. I get this makes Sims houses more structured, but I find it totally odd and unnatural.
To prevent scraping on floors from chairs and stuff yes it’s normal to have an area rug with a tight flat pile under a dining room table. The type of rug I describe is pretty easy to clean w/ a good vacuum and carpet cleaner and you should replace it more frequently then an area rug elsewhere because it will wear.
@@skyechimes658 but that's what those little felt stickers are for, you just stick them to the chairs and job done, there's absolutely no need for a rug.
Maybe that's just a cultural difference thing, I'm in Europe and we usually have wooden or tile flooring especially in living areas, thinking about it, I'm only used to rugs in front of sofas and maybe a bed.
Carina S yep now that felt tips are a thing you don’t see this as much anymore, but it’s super common in certain design aesthetics from before those were a common thing so people keep doing it. Also some people worry about foot traffic wear on their floor (this is why hallway and stair runner carpets are a thing too even though they are basically a tripping hazard imo). I personally am not a huge fan of area rugs in places I might trip on them but you asked why some people do it.
We have kitchen table that doesn’t have a rug under it, tile floors. But there is a formal dining room that has a rug, wood floors. Heavy duty chairs and table in formal so it just makes more sense and looks nicer to have the rug. Only used for special occasions of course lol
Putting a carpet under the dining table helps make that area feel separate and centered as its own space
You could have saved so much money but for some reason you made the house HUGE
ikr! So much wasted space
The budget for 8 sims is like 32k, I wanted to see people build a 32k starter home for 8 sims cuz even in the game we don't have that
James: it's not that bad, it's not that good either.
Literally me on everyone of my builds 😂
I like it! With toddlers having everything on one floor is ideal, and I like the layout. It was a great call not to make it super small. Tiny homes are cute, but big family's need more space.
Is it weird that viewed from the back, reminds me of pre-fab churches I used to see in the USA south when I was a child in the 80s? I know super specific, but the colors, the columns, the stick out porch... it's spot on.
James: "more material for less money." Me: "ah, like swimsuits."
do you mean less material for more money?? is usually what people say about swimsuits lol
OMG the bunk bed house is still there!
Hear me out. The secondary bathroom door should've gone in the living room, and then you could extend the island to be attached to the wall, and take one away and put a bin on the end.
Try a "decades" build challenge or more budget build challenges! I really enjoy your build content
The layout gave me major sims 1 vibes with how spacious and practical of a cheap bungalow it is. I kind of love it 😊
when i was younger, my family had to fit 8 people into a 3bed 2bath house and somehow your builds recreate that feeling of spaciousness but also tight space to me, and it fills me with nostalgia a lot
me as an architecture student watching this : *stressed out* no, um where should i start
I love these real time builds especially if it helps with editing.
Appreciate that you avoided debug items! It's actually quite annoying to download a home with a ton of it. This is a great 'spruce me up' starter.
Hey James, at first I couldn't tell why I sat so much more relaxed watching, but right you are, I like the real time way better than the speed builds. Speed builds make me hyperactive and tired at the same time. Love the video, I'd have liked the house better with some warmer colours though.
this house feels unnecessarily spacious. i kept waiting for him to move some walls in to save money towards the end
I do love this type of video instead of the fast forwarding type. The slow way I get to experience the changes as soon as they take place and tell you what I think in my head ;-)
Glad to see you're doing good! When will there be more Super Sim? 🥺
I love your builds, and the commentary. I appreciate the real time ones, because u cant see the process in a speed build. Thank you for that! ❤❤❤
Yes, please keep doing these real time! Also I’ve noticed that you been using more colors in your houses. Is this a Deli influence? 😏
I have a suggestion for your website! I would love a random household generator! Is it a single sim or friends or relatives? Is it a single parent or two? How many kids do they have? How many pets? What age are they all? What gender are they all? I always want to build households but I’m never sure how.
Omg that's such an awesome idea
When I have 8 sims in the house, I like the house to be very minimalistic.. if there’s a lot of activity, and then the house is packed tight with objects, I get overwhelmed quicker. Almost triggers anxiety. I think you did great.
Challenge idea : now use a random amount of money to do a first pass renovation.
The way you would do if you were playing and your sips got into some money so you can afford to jazz it up a bit but not a complete renovation
Love your user name! :D
Yes please do more builds! I’m completely fascinated by how easily you roof things.
When it comes to garbage cans you can also use the discover university garbage chute that costs 0 and is "bottomless" in play mode so your garbage doesn't overflow and doesn't give sims a negative buff. also saving you the 220 c:
"I know we have all of these free plants and stuff but using it feels a little cheaty"
Kayak:
Me: What are you doing
James: just a little pizzaz nothing too fancy
please note that even on such a strict budget and 8 sims, you're still a better designer than I am 🤦♀️
This house is kinda cool- it really feels like it's a starter home to put all your stuff for your sims in it. Sometimes starter homes are just too nice for my sims
James you should do a challenge like this but cheating! Like use debug for cheap or free items, or use the tiny home cheats to place walls so it doesn’t count as a room/tiles
I have to say your standing desk is noticable in the way you move around when you use it :')
When I was growing up (in the 1950s in Canada) there were 9 people in my family. We lived in 3 bedroom-1 bathroom houses, which was pretty normal for that time. There was one living room, a dining room, and a kitchen, usually with space for a small table. Try having 5 girls in one bedroom. The 2 boys were always so lucky! My parents never had the big bedroom because the girls needed it. We slept 2 girls in a double bed (no queen beds in those days) and three single beds around the room... one sometimes in the closet area (which had the door removed). Sometimes, if the room wasn't big enough for that, we had to sleep 3 of us in that double bed. It was always crowded, but we never thought much of it, because it was our "norm" and most other families were living the same way. We knew a family with 13 children in a 4 bedroom house with one bathroom.
The ultimate challenge:
Starter home for 8 sims in The Sims 1
Every time I see anyone put a bathroom and kitchen side by side I get so stressed imagine cooking and someone poops like… imagine the kitchen smelling like that 😭😭
I miss your builds! Please do some more!
Also challenge idea if your interested: Pick three random buy objects and build house themed around them.
I can’t believe you almost had 2 living spaces instead of a single dining table, sims in the sims 4 love dining tables. I don’t think they’ve ever willingly used the sofa in my game.
I miss these kind of build videos, chillin' and buildin'
Can’t wait for rags to redevelopment miss Ambrose
I personally love when you build in real time because you're so good at building its easier to follow along and cool to see how you do certain things during real time
You could’ve used island counters and had a few bar seats in the kitchen
i like how much you care about the things you build. it’s pretty refreshing. :)
It's not boring, it's minimalism :3
Now do the opposite. 1 sim 100k house
that is too easy
as someone who doesn't have a lot of packs I really appreciate that you try to stick to a smaller amount of packs.
This house would fit in great in Central Texas! Absolutely nailed the single level large family design
James: “maybe this is fine, I don’t know. I think you guys need to fix it.”
I died 😂😂
this looks like a modern australian home. good job james
Yeeeees building James is my most favourite 💚 Honestly you have the best taste of all simmers i watch. 😃👌
I LOVE your real time build videos. One of the very first things I watched from you that really got me hooked on your videos. I would love to see more of them. Speed builds are nice occasionally but I definitely prefer this style where we can see you struggle through the build process step by step and see you making the decisions. Idk. Just very enjoyable. I love your rags to riches series, they are amazing. But definitely would be nice to see more of your building videos as well. I miss them.
Also I feel like the minority here but I hate debug landscape. It does look great (for people who can actually landscape well unlike me) but it is just so fake and hollow and it's frustrating when I download a house and my sims are walking through fences and stuff because it's not real. Ugh. I always loved that James didn't use cheats as much like me. Unpopular opinion it seems. lol.
Just watch Deli build a starter home in Newcrest. She says: "James always builds with lots of corridor space..." And when James starts planning this build - just: LOL...
I have 8 sims and I make them all sleep in the dungeon. They're only allowed outside to tend to cult leaders garden
For the record, a family with 8 sims at the start would have more money than 20,000....
I miss your videos James! I know your busy with programming/coding and you enjoy playing Minecraft as well, but a few build challenges every now and then would be nice to watch, I really enjoy your commentary and buildstyle. Hope to see you soon(er) !
Why am I so addicted to this series
I love sims3 the best. if sims4 had dumpster diving i would probably like it. but i LOVE LOVE LOVE the dumpster diving option in 3. sometimes sims are permanently smell from dumpster diving. i like the way you have done this James!
It's extremely difficult to stay under 20,000 simoleons. The easiest layout I can come up with is one with a hallway going from front door to back with rooms on either side. It's makes the best use of the available floor space. The houses can be a little boxy that way, but you spruce them up a bit with a porch on the front, etc. When I was trying this challenge, I was sticking to the basics. Four bedrooms with double beds in them. Two bathooms with a sink, toilet, and shower. And then a basic kitchen. The budget just isn't there to get fancy with things. Although I did find that one of exterior doors looks pretty good for a bedroom door, and it was really cheap. For flooring, there are a number of options for 4 simoleons. And then I went with the same basic white that you did for the walls. Keep in mind that a more open floor plan means less wall surface area. So that's an option. Another thing worth trying is going underground. Just have a stairway going down into your home with a door at the bottom of it. Then you don't need to worry about windows or the look of the exterior of the home. It can greatly simplify the design. In those cases, I might have a bathroom on each side of stairway with the living room and kitchen next to them. The rest of the space can be one big bedroom with four double beds for everyone to sleep in. But I like your trick of having a foundation one step high. It looks better than no foundation at all and still doesn't require stairs.
I WAY prefer this style of videos over all the speedbuilds!
Definitely prefer real time builds!!
There is something so satisfying about this video
A starter home is never really going to look that good imo, so this is came out really good! My preferred method is to build a shell with fixture and bathrooms but no furniture or decorations. More challenging and also more realistic!
I think this house has lots of potential. I think you missed the boat on the layout when you moved the kitchen. If you put it in the large room at the front of the house, where you originally started, you have room for a dining set where the room connects to the rest of the house. Then you have the room with the huge windows as a family room. Also. I think I would have turned both rooms next to the kitchen into bedrooms & places the 2nd bath where the first single room is on the long hallway. Still, it would be a great 100 baby challenge house or something & it would be fun to decorate it as funds allow.
I love real time build videos so much!!!!!!! I like watching your speed builds as well, but I feel more engaged when I am watching you build and making decisions. If only I had the time to watch twitch live streams...
I've seen that if you put a dishwasher in a kitchen counter and size it down it creates a space where you can put in the garbage bin
James: debug is cheating
Lilsimsie is mortified
I love watching sims videos idk why it’s kinda relaxing and this guys commentary is always amazing 👌🏼
Dilemma: which video to watch first... James' or Deli's urghhh
Switch every day maybe?
Deli's one came out wayyy earlier tho
Ka Hei PUN umm it was posted 1 minute after?
@@jadeellis383 oh. Ok
james sounded so exasperated with his choices during this whole video 😭
i am absolutely IN LOVE with this house !!!!!
The bin had me think: what if they had "Aunt Flow" in the sims😂😂
Something James said made me think of a new video idea 🤔 What if he made this house available to download in the gallery and have simmers renovate it without a fund limit? Maybe make it a rule that the walls be unchangeable, kind of like the shell challenge. Or make it so they have to incorporate all the furniture already in the build but they can move or add anything new. He can do a tour of the best renovations and give them some exposure. Just a thought 😊
You need to make a video refurbishing this with no budget, like a shell challenge!
I'm so used to my sims automatically using the bathroom sink for dishes that I do my best to not put it near the kitchen. This house hurt me lol
I would love to see you do the 10 minute build challenge.But only using one pack for the build.
