soft clickbait. james is genius lol

[@geeebee8512]

I think it’s coz the lot cost 1000 but yeah I thought that too

[@anniekate76]

Floor(value) lolllll

[@zoeyoung9366]

Yeah, I’d also say it was cause of what he spent on the lot itself.

[@lexieblais6845]

The *open shower* on a *wooden floor* and directly *in front* of the *window* is THE most triggering thing ever! OMG!

Kayla: we can't afford upper cabinets, sorry. James: we can't afford a computer, sorry.

[@emmacurtis52]

Also Kayla: we don’t need a sink in the bathroom, they can wash their hands in the kitchen James: I don’t usually put sinks in the kitchen in cheaper builds

[@HelenBeeee]

yeah the plumbing in the window was quite the problem for the new owners heh heh heh!

[@bookladydavina]

nah.. it's waterproof vinyl laminate that just looks like wood ;)

[@jayp.7197]

Eh, we'll just say it's those tiles that LOOK like wood, like I have in my bathroom.

[@SevCaswell]

@@JamesTurnerYT not to mention the lack of fire alarm, espcially as that cheapo stove is highly flamable..

[@inoriya]

Woah I actually kinda like the color choices of the house. It's like a small house available to rent for university students who can't afford bigger places. Nice

[@MurdocsMinion]

No mirror or dresser, but you can shower in front of the window facing the street. The purple wall is nice though.

[@MarkusHansson]

Somehow I suspect that the people living in this house will not like the shower mounted on the window in the bathroom.

[@loraelstad8941]

With the shower water warping the nice wooden bathroom floor. 😄

[@piercetheromance]

If there’s one thing that gives this game rights in my mind it’s the sim routing. I love that the sims can walk around each other even in such a cramped space. I wish there were animations for side shuffling through narrow areas like in the Sims 2 though!

Ok, James. I really have to get off my butt and release my Sim Family Generator. Does all that in one click. I have it set to do 18k-100k for the money, but I can make that an option. It's built in React. I've been sitting on it because I need to add some animations and wasn't feeling inspired.

[@co9923]

Omg i would go crazy if i was to live there with 3 other people. Nice build but it's making me anxious just to watch them 😂😂

[@courageandcake]

Omg. The shower on that window. I can't. When I build I have to make sure that the plumbing system would match real life otherwise it bugs me to no end 🤣.

[@Chris-gb7lf]

Bro, What happened to Max Power? Also, ever think of doing a rags to riches where all you can do is get loans from other sims? Hah! Keep it up.

I have been waiting FOREVER for Max Power's return!

[@docette2015]

Well, it may not be the most beautiful house, and it may have some interesting design choices like wooden bathroom floors and a window right by the shower, but hey -- can't say it isn't functional! I am duly impressed, my good sir.

[@beelee88]

when james doesnt start a video with "HEY GUYS!"... i get personally offended 🥺

[@covahsgames]

I love it! The full wall was too expensive, but you fully outfitted the kitchen with the cabinets. That was fun to watch! Have you considered a Let's Play where you keep visiting and live with your neighbor and see how long you can last?
