Now we need a video where you renovate this house, keeping “the essence” of it but maybe a little less…weird.

[@BengtBagels]

This. Even if he wanted to change up all the color schemes and utilized different textures too, but kept with the idea of the Original House as a trendy and entertaining community lot where you could "rent" rooms.

[@16taysia]

And maybe make the bathroom functional lol

[@sarah28370]

Keep the exterior of the house and the landscaping heights, but everything else is fair play for him to change.

[@pelahnar4]

Ah, yes. The bathroom. That's the room I want to have 4 wall-sized windows, pointed directly at the steps leading to my front door. No privacy issues here.

[@FreddyKruegerTheDreamDemon]

Lol that's actually how most high end houses/apartments look for some reason

[@beaniesketch]

as well as no door, it also seems to be floating a level above the rest of the house (edit: upon further look, i actually have no idea how this room is positioned, the grid lines up with the rest of the floor, but the wall height does not? it's like half a tile from the rest of the building? which is impossible?)

[@cal8581]

i am always in such awe of how james can always tell what build strategies and items are used even if he can only see a little. this is such a cool build, great work

[@luvzzzz246]

[@Lizannsytan]

[@NuclearJesus211]

This house gives me such Sims 1 vibes. Awkwardly spacious, bizarre furniture choices, orange toned wood floors with red wallpaper... I LOVE IT!

[@KorriTimigan]

I spent so much time trying to recreate the empty cavernous rooms from the opening video in Sims 1, I thought they were so cool. Ah memories!

[@ILuvAyeAye]

​@@KorriTimigan The spaciousness was so necessary in the original Sims and Sims 2 though! Sims would get trap each other constantly.

[@millam222]

Totally! 🤩 ❤

[@lavishgoblin]

I'd love to see you use the shell of this house to make something functional in your actual style! this house definitely has huge potential and i feel like you'd do an amazing job

[@AKA_Studios]

"The perfect home shell challenge" when?

[@stefaniegray]

I'd love to see the guru who built this react to this video, I wanna know which of the sneaky tricks like the bushes around the pillars were exactly right and what you may have gotten just almost right but was actualy done differently.

[@interlopingenglish9649]

I was going to say this - James should do a collab with the original builder!

[@oritta_]

I love how creative you are for getting inspiration for your builds, I think it's the essence of your channel

[@brittknee1146]

The screen rollover at the end is soooooooo satisfying. The bathroom without the door gives me so much anxiety though. 🤣

[@JamesTurnerYT]

I was so stoke that I managed to get the camera angle so close!

[@LAURA---]

This is such a testament to James’ build skills & knowledge! Great job James! 👏🏼 such a fun video 💚

[@DoveJS]

YES! It only took him 4 hours; most of us would take at least a week to get the same results. 😅😄

[@debradavis3935]

Your consistent passion for this game is inspirational! You must keep a notepad beside your bed at night so that when you wake up with another brilliant idea in the middle of the night you can write it down! This is the most hideous build I have ever seen and yet I love it! ❤❤❤😂😂

[@JamesTurnerYT]

It's like that sometimes, when an idea comes to you, you gotta write it down!

[@Lisa_The_Norwegian]

1:42 “you can build your dream home, just demolish a national park” billionaires will buy sims now, they have been wanting that for ages! 6:40 i love in the picture how that easel in the right bottom corner looks like it’s inaccessible. That’s the Sims we love!

[@chillinginthenameof]

[@the_nikster1]

I'm always so impressed with your attention to detail, James. would love to see you renovate this one yourself OR you could turn it into a renovation challenge for the community and show us a video of you checking out the submissions.

[@ikadean]

The sheer effort put into this build 🥵 From one perfectionist to another, I feel your pain James! But it came out so good and looked so similar to the inspo. Worth it!

[@kismet_sims]

This was so entertaining! The house is the epitome of an EA build. I'm actually really excited to give this home a refresh, it has so much potential! You did a great job recreating it!

[@Fall_Spectacular]

I’m impressed with your terrain manipulation. It’s always hard for me to use.

[@sarahcatherine5497]

I’ve never been this early for a James video!! I guess there are perks to waking up at the asscrack of dawn

[@vektorgodel7891]

now renovate it to your liking!

[@kimmiem309]

James' attention to detail in these builds (recreations and originals) will always amaze me! This is so well done James it's kind of scary 😂

[@Harumiii_718]

?

[@jessicamareelucas]

Next you should attempt the Sarah Winchester House floor plan 😊 or capture its essence with confusing hallways and rooms to nowhere and rooms leading through others

[@NitroIndigo]

There's a house based on that in Riverview.

[@pinkcupcake4717]

Okay actually though, the line of wall lights as an art thing? That's pretty cool. I'd love to see you do a update/reno of this to evoke this original design but be made more functional.

[@alanam994]

architecture student here! that style with the columns holding up the house and the huge windows covering all the walls is Le Corbusier’s five points of architecture.

[@biosparkles9442]

I'm so glad I saw this comment, that's really cool to know!

[@lonngleggedsocialist7414]

this came out great, would love for hazel to come out of retirement for one last gig to make this house functional

[@kristaceresa4699]

We even got a little terrain tools tutorial built in! Just a few days ago i was trying to do something similar with terrain and I gave up 😩 Now I'm inspired to go back and try again!

[@JamesTurnerYT]

The terrain tools are pretty good if you can work them out, but they're a little clunky haha

[@potted_plant]

please renovate this build, it would be fun to watch

[@bronwyn4060]

I would love to see you make over this lot in the way you would do it please 😃

[@hamzin131]

As others have also said I would like to see a video of you decorating it how you would like!! Awesome job of recreating it though 👌🏼

[@blizzard2586]

This reminds me of how back when I was a kid and played the Sims 1 I used to sit down and watch the intro excitedly each time, and they built this funky looking house - so I tried to mimic the build myself (and back then I didn't even know screenshotting was a thing so I just saved, closed the game and reopened it to see how the house looked each time lol!)

[@Starry_Kn1ght]

As weird as the layout of this house is, I'm actually very inspired by the multi-level aspect of it. I NEVER touch terrain raising tools so maybe it's time...

[@kalekaela]

Definitely a very cool build challenge! I loved watching you put this together. If there’s any other weird builds from early sims promo, I’d love to see you try it. Even the houses from the sims 1 and 2 intro/trailer videos!

[@starshollow.]

That's terrific😄I'm not good enough at the house-building part, but I'll try to do it as soon as possible 😄

[@terrianblack9450]

I have not seen the whole video yet. But is that room in fron floating, away from the rest of the building? 🤔 Edit: i think is meant to show they are puttning a already decorated room there. Who knows?

[@courtneyelliott2107]

The music in this video is so cheerful head-booping. Would love to see this house as a shell challenge for James. Remix into his own style

[@martakelava6073]

Very entertaining video! I had so much fun looking at the comparison between your build and the original. You should definitely do a renovation of it because it has a lot of potential, especially with the underground pathway and the usage of the landscape tool.

[@danielrhodes4595]

How does James have the ability to not get bored while building this?!! Please can we have a renovation now with your own style on this build?

[@adrian_hook]

I love how bizarre this house is. Definitely gives me early sims vibes

[@briarihallow]

Watching you slide the photo for comparison is so satisfying lol Build challenge where people send you a screenshot of their weird builds and you try and match the screenshot 😂

[@novavita2853]

I've been loving all the content lately, but even as entertaining as some of the series are... this was amazing to me. I mean to be able to shut your brain off enough to really see what's actually going on. I never would have noticed that pool was where it was. To me looking at it, my brain just plopped it on the same height, right close to the back patio area, but it's on a different level and so far away! You did a really fantastic job with this.

[@thebitternubbin]

the 80's montage music for the speed build portions is a vibe

[@opallise]

That music at 15:00ish is amaaaaazing!😆 I think this would be really fun to renovate. Nice job!

[@mariahjacobs4837]

The amount of time and effort this took is amazing! It looks great! Thanks for the video!

[@JamesTurnerYT]

Thanks, it took ages haha

[@DoveJS]

YASSS! I wanted to see this house made real! lol I can't remember if I looked at it long enough to notice it was weird; I think I did but not to this extent. Btw, I always wanted to recreate that house you see at the top of the EA Gallery website; overlaying the screenshot of the enthusiastic red-headed Sim on the left. I think they built it on that empty lot, Arid Ridge, in the Skyward Palms neighborhood of Oasis Springs, where the Caliente's live (alongside two empty houses.) I'm assuming it's all base game because I think that image has been on the gallery for as long as I can remember! There's no floor plan, and it looks rather small and weird in hindsight, but I was irked that EA hadn't shared it (from what I could tell by.) I'd be thrilled if James wanted to build that one too!

[@mayevie]

James always manages to have the most creative build ideas, and the actual execution is just next level!!!

[@itschelseakay]

This was so fun!! And really interesting/amusing to see how they built the house for photos. Impressive how James caught the tricks they used!

[@giggiwidit5638]

What are you talking about James ? ... Considering what EA considers as 'Perfect', then this build looks about right.

[@maribetht5882]

I work from home 3 days a week and honestly don't take many breaks but when I make myself take one it usually includes watching a few minutes of James. This was amazing how much you made your house look like EA's house. I would love to see a renovation of this with your touch. Thank you for filling my life with fun.

[@IzabelaSSilva]

The pathing in this house is just straight out of my bad Rollercoaster parks hahaha

[@carolinmarienkafer588]

Redecorating this thing as kind of a community challenge, with the rule not to move walls would also be a fun thing

[@DoveJS]

YES! Like a shell challenge although I frankly wouldn't mess with the terrain or landscaping much either lol. It'd take forever.😅😆

[@Littlebirdiemama]

This is genuinely astonishing, just really blew me away how completely right on it was with the picture. You really are a true artist with such a unique eye and attention to detail. More important of all though, to me, is you’re really fun to watch and you brighten my day. There are a lot of great builders out there, but I you are charismatic and a good laugh, thank you! 🙂 You and Deli both make my day!

[@SoleilQuiles]

This is a good shell challenge. Wish we could see who built it to at least give props to them, even if only for the shell 😂

[@anaismca]

This was the most fun sims video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!!

[@heatherbolton8342]

I am so blown away right now. James showing who is the SIMS 4 building boss for sure!

[@brandondouglas2436]

I would love to see a video where you renovate this to make it more practical. And it would be so cool if you could ask The Sims 4 team to provide you with the original file for this house so that you can compare your recreation to it. It would be awesome if they agreed to giving it to you. Also, I love the music! It has got some real nostalgia vibes.

[@jennakarro1702]

Personally, I love it. Great unique vibe, but easily walkable and useful, too. A bit much on the shrubbery, but it does look good, so...not going to complain about that for once. I love how you did the 'unseen' areas behind and under the house. You should build more homes like this. I am partial to the 'split level' styles.

[@MissHummingbird]

Oh man I totally believed you and then I was like oh shit wait there are no Sims in it. I kind of want to try this myself lol

[@juliehester5626]

Surprised James didn’t say something along the lines of “and OF COURSE they put Batuu in here cause it’s the perfect house you just can’t see it because the angle of the picture” and proceed to add Batuu items

[@loverrlee]

Wow! This was a ton of work! Especially for the parts you couldn’t see but you had to guess what was going on. Well done! 💯💯💯

[@hxney6585]

It would be super cool if they had the game changers all take the shell and modify it for the product page since the selling point is you can make the perfect house FOR YOU and all of the game changers would modify the house differently.

[@spookysomeone]

this feels like the kind of house that would be used in a reality tv show

[@shavondaderoche8820]

This by far is one of the best builds I've watched. I love how almost exact you came to the original. Thanks for this!!

[@luizamor4503]

yaaaay james time

[@Its_Kelci]

It’s okay they probably just crawl into the bathroom through one of the windows 😂😂

[@professord.jolicoeur3879]

This house looks like a bunch of premade rooms just snapped together. The bathroom being separated is what made me think of it. James, you said couldn't find the house in the gallery, but did you look for the individual rooms?

[@marieduran6286]

Good Job!! Comparing the photos, I think they didn't put a door to the bathroom anyway, so you are still accurate, but what is with all the WINDOWS???? If they were going to do that, they should have made that an office and put the bathroom in the back. If that house was in real life, I wouldn't live there, and I wouldn't visit for very long. Not only no doors, but everyone can see your business. Not for me thank you. Although this would be perfect for DrGluon's next motel LP, expect it does one better, instead of only one bathroom there is no door to the bathroom. But they are improving, at least they have a bathroom this time.

[@sherrybrissette1614]

Oh Sims! This house is the game in a nutshell. Looks beautiful, interesting and fun. Reality is... glitchy, ridiculous and full of WTF moments. Thanks for trying to make it work James!

[@RosemaryWeir]

I wonder if anyone has ever made the mansion from the OG Sims 1 game. You know, the one in the top right corner of the map which I think was the aspiration house to move to? That would be a cool build video.

[@afamoore]

have this place become a new burger boys franchise. call it; ✨Perfect Boys✨ since it's the "perfect build" 😂😂😂
