Pro tip to get the spandrels in the middle of the wall: place your pillar first :D

Adding onto that, you can place spandrels per tile if you hold shift!

I was thinking the same thing about making the long cabinet having a microwave slot. I also personally think they should have added matching microwaves with some of the kitchen packs.

[@NoDecaf7]

I really wish there were Left-Handed and Right-Handed handled doors. Flipping them around works fine in The Sims I guess, but the direction the doors open matters to me for some reason.

[@Crose182]

That, and the fact some doors are special on one side so then it messes it up

[@NoDecaf7]

​@@Crose182Yes! The number of times I've passed on a door purely because it would open the wrong way and the outdoor details would be on the inside. It is helpful for windows so I can remember which way to flip them, but it drives me nuts with doors.

​@@strick405I get having a wall Side! It should work the way that bunk beds work though. Instead of the ladder disappearing when the bed is against the wall, the shower wall would appear when the item is placed against the wall. three-walled stand alone showers would be so much better...

The basics of Feng Shui is SO necessary with the silly sim movements imho.

same! Over the years of hearing things, learning things there's two I can't do anymore. No TV's above fireplaces (they're too high and can cause tension in your neck) and no TV's in the bedrooms. I didn't realize they both had to do with TV's, huh... I think it's supposed to be no electronics in bedrooms but I don't think it's very realistic with computers in our day and age lol

[@blaireshoe8738]

Ohhh right this is why I vastly preferred his accidental pastel pop bed placement over his intended one, lol, because the footboard kinda blocks some of the "energy" from the door in a way that the side-on bed would have just felt very exposed without some major help from extra furniture pieces or curtains/room dividers. Pre-Dear Modern me would have called what he ended up with plain old comfy and cozy, Post-Dear Modern me realizes he just accidentally followed some Feng Shui principles by placing it that way, lol

I was waiting for the outdoor dining! I actually really liked the dark blue wallpaper, it contrasted really well with the pink.

[@bunny8970]

I found out recently that for spandrels if you press alt (or shift, one of the two) it'll only affect the panel you're hovering on! Might be useful if you try this again!!

[@AJ-wg3kt]

Ohhhh this is super helpful!!

[@blaireshoe8738]

I actually vastly preferred your accidental pastel pop bed placement over what you intended 😂 thinking of it as an irl room, the footboard provides a bit of a buffer between yourself and the door, whereas had it been sideways across the width of the room, it would have felt kinda exposed. More floor space as you said, but less cozy imo.

[@selkiefluff]

I'd love to see more silly build challenges from you, even if they were done by others before. At least you're always willing to commit to the themes and randomness and don't whine and cheat if something goofy happens that 'ruins' the aesthetic of the build.

I think if he would have placed an arch way in between the tall cabinet in the kitchen and the pillar on the arch, he could have added a room for the dining area.

[@codynorris6414]

What about a build challenge where you do one from your random build challenge but can't use the black or white swatches of anything?

[@alorota9728]

Here's a challenge for you. Build a doomsday bunker for 8 Sims. Must be completely underground Must be a Tiny home (64 tiles or less) Must have an area for growing food Off the Grid

[@maeby119]

Maybe a small table and 2 chairs in front of the window opposite the couch, for dining, since that was the only option. Also, the second you said that spot in the front was going to be a bathroom, I wanted you to make the long skinny section the shower. Then use windows on the left side, and turned that yard area into an outdoor space with with trees and fencing for privacy, so it seems like you are showering outside, and makes the shower seem bigger.

[@mongeeses7112]

You can add spandrels in one at a time by holding shift over a wall or fence! I can’t remember if it’s definitely the shift key, but it’s something like that. Also that duo-tone wallpaper isn’t exactly new, it’s just got some new swatches.

[@stinakms]

I’m “happy” to see it’s not just me who has an issue with the new kitchen cabinet shelves swatches not matching 🙃

I kno im late to the party here but for the spandrel into the kitchen you could have placed pillars on either side and then held ALT to place individual spandrel sections 😊

[@TeruteruBozusama]

I imagine that the pastel pop bed room belonged to the older sister (the kids are two sisters). But she moved out to study at uni and took some of her of her stuff with her, so it's currently a guest room they haven't really settled with yet. The missing dining table... Maybe one of the parents is a wheelchair user so the rest of the family sit with their plates in their laps in the living room.

[@jessig8854]

James if hold already you can place spandrels one at a time

This challenge is my worst nightmare, so much anxiety!

[@nicolecribbs6514]

For the spandrels from the living room to the kitchen you could have placed columns first where you wanted the opening and then it would've put the spandrels in between the columns

[@strick405]

But it doesn't always work. Would've here though. 😊

[@annoar9776]

pls do a build challenge where you can only use the first or last swatch of an object. and if you place that object, you can only change the color to the first and last swatch, not to another object. :D

Not sure how to phrase it - but you could up the challenge by doing "first sample/first click only". Like once you click on a light, a wallpaper, window, curtains, anything, you have to use it. That way you aren't able to test things out so much!

I've been watching Mikey Bustos' (was once a contestant on Canadian Idol) recent vlogs from his visit to Sydney for a music festival performance and I kept thinking.... *"Oh wow... It would be so cool if he ran into James & Deligracy somehow!"* I know your channels are completely different but I love the stuff from all of you and watch them all the time. He currently lives in the Philippines and has just finished building a big farmhouse property there with his partner.... but he grew up in Canada. He was in the top 5 Canadian Idol contestants awhile back... but I got into watching him first with *AntsCanada channel* (a fantastic channel if you love nature stuff) and no idea that it was actually Mikey Bustos since he doesn't use his face or name in them... but the videos have been recognized by National Geographic and others. He's even been in the news lately for identifying species of ant that was previously unknown in the Philippines... and possibly even another completely new and unknown species. Then I started watching his Vlog channel because of his love of birds and other animals. He's just such a nice and positive person.... as are you. Both of your channels chill me out when needed. Ithen did I start watching his music/Filipinos culture parodies which are fun especially since I lived in the Philippines as a child. I think it was his parody channel that first blew up and made him viral on KZbin. He also just has some also normal music videos.
