I fixed James’ first ever build (The Sims 4)

Today I (actually) renovated James Turner's first build in The Sims 4 from 2014! He wasn't fully impressed... Thanks ‪@JamesTurnerYT‬ for reviewing the house build at the end! Thank you for watching!

I love how you're saying "We used... We decided..." as if it was a group project xD

"We thought" 😂 please don't include me in thinking, deli, I don't wanna do it.

[@jordandarling7185]

She’s a graphic designer, right? When I went to college for graphic design we had it drilled into us from the start that you never say “you” or “i” when presenting your work. You always say “we” because even though you may have made that one specific piece of the project, it is a collaborative process so credit is due to everyone. So I always say the same thing when talking about something creative I did out of habit now even when I mainly was the one who did everything. It’s a total grammar thing 😂 at least that’s my theory 😂

[@darrylwhitefeather207]

@@jordandarling7185 Ah, that makes total sense!

[@unintentional_smile]

I think most Simmers speak this way, James too. He always says “let’s do this” or “should we put this here?” “How should we do this?” etc because I think to them, they do feel like they’re doing it WITH their audience.

Weirdest thing about me growing up was I couldn't drink plain white milk I could drink chocolate or strawberry and eat dairy but yet white milk literally made me regret it and i told them one time i couldn't drink white milk they didn't believe me they wouldn't let me choose juice as apparently it was just extra and had to have a parents permission so was forced to drink the white milk as they were out of chocolate and strawberry mom ended up having to come get me and when she found out what had happened she yelled at them for that stunt as apparently she had sign that permission for me to it tore up my stomach within 5 minutes of drinking white milk and lasted for 6 hours I finally grew out of it when I hit high school though it was odd i could eat a little of white milk with cereal the rest of the milk my brother happily drank I've always been weird I can't eat chocolate cake or chocolate cupcakes or red velvet I get sick badly to the point wish could throw it back up but yet can eat brownies

James really risking his whole life in this video💀😂

[@arthomancy]

ok so I've definitely known that was a wall vent all along BUT some houses (especially in older victorians or farmhouses, where the entire house had to be really functional) have wall vents like that instead of windows in the attic! they help keep the attic aired out and from getting too hot during the summer

[@Montisaquadeis]

Agreed they are being used as VENTS for the attic in many older homes so yes you do see them high up on the outside like Deli normally uses them so thats is a perfectly reasonable thing to use them for any many people use them for that purpose as well.

I love a realistic renovation. It’s so expensive to move plumbing or change around walls too much. Nice touch with keeping the wood floors! Also interesting about pool fences in Australia. It makes a lot of safety sense, but yeah, we totally don’t have that in America.

[@justjake9469]

I was like, "where would you put a fence? Ah, there you put a fence around a pool." We don't have them in Europe either (at least I've never seen them in the Netherlands, or other European countries on holiday).

[@tenntea2910]

Actually, I think that depends on what part of America you are from. I know a lot places around here require them for insurance purposes and most people with small children I know have them.

[@alkemi5522]

@@justjake9469 True but also here in Europe we fence literally our whole yard/garden/property, at least where I live. So technically it's fenced in a way.

[@junerussell6972]

Our (United States) house insurance requires that we have a fence around our pool, but it doesn't have to be right around the pool. Ours is along the property line (cutting in at the side of the house so that the front yard isn't included) with the pool in the middle of the backyard. That way the neighbor's 3-year-old can't wander in (but if we had kids, they'd still be at risk.) The gate is supposed to be locked (because a neighbor's 3-year-old did get into the pool of one of our neighbors, through an unlocked gate. Found too late, too. Very sad!)

[@justjake9469]

@@alkemi5522 True, if your look at it that way. XD We do that too, in the Netherlands.

[@laurieb.5199]

Deli, you are great all by yourself but you+ James? Hilarious! I really like the master bedroom in this build. Beautiful!

[@SLorraineE]

I feel like it would have been more interesting to do a base game reno to show how just the base game has evolved since the release. Like, of course Deli can make a much better house using all the different packs, she is an amazing builder. But working with the same restrictions James has originally would have been more of a challenge

[@birdblackbird4766]

i'd love it if James did this himself!

[@melaniev9446]

Will they ever notice the curtains in the living room aren't lined up? Kept waiting for James to point it out but alas, guess his attention was more on light fixtures 😅

[@rebeccabilly7466]

And the hole in the roof.

[@francinestuart-dolmage4334]

The modern farm homes are so common here in Canada, but I think I'm so used to seeing them that I love building them in the sims, dream of living in one, and REALLY hope you'll build one some day! I'd love to see a build of you embracing the style!! Love ya

[@hottatgirl]

In the US, it’s illegal to have no fence around the pool if you have children living in the house, but if there’s only adults you don’t need one. I never put them in the sims because I think they look bad, like they ruin the whole patio/backyard vibe, in game and irl lol

[@ArenofTaiger]

I put a fence around the pool for my generation family so I could lock the gate during winter.

[@hottatgirl]

@@ArenofTaiger my sim got a want to go swimming in winter but it wasn’t an option until she got energized and yes she almost froze to death but after she got a “polar bear plunge” moodlet that lasted all day so it was worth it lol

[@alkemi5522]

I do exactly the same thing. When I'm feeling uncomfy I often crave things and especially dairy products, so I end up eaing some cheese or ice cream, despite being lactose intolerant 😅 It's ok, Deli... We're just never going to learn...

[@staceymckernan4747]

Love how James went red as soon as he realised he was digging his own grave lol. Totally relatable with the PMS and Lactose Intolerance, the thing is when we have PMS we crave things we just ain't supposed to eat, which in turn makes it all taste that little bit better no matter the consequences. Hope you are feeling better now Deli? ❤

[@Micyge]

Im feeling really off today, this made me feel a little better. Its autumn, rainy and grey here which affects my mood (adhd). Hope your stomach feels better and nice haircut James 😊

[@kandirain_1172]

It's funny what "farmhouse" means in different countries. Basically, in America, "farmhouse" is definitely going to be wood not brick. It comes from the fact that when the Colonizers came over, there was an abundance of trees to make homes but not as much stone. Modern farmhouses stick to that format for the most part. They are usually wood or siding that looks like wood.

[@Jade-nd2gc]

we’re gonna pretend yesterday didn’t happen!

[@marykalter13]

Where I live in New York you need at least a 6 foot fence around a pool but it can also just be your entire yard is fenced with a 6 ft fence so not the pool area directly. It's basically a legal loophole to have the "no fence" look as long as the entire yard is completely fenced in (with the right height)

[@purpledragonfly4]

Yeah we didn't have to have a fence directly around our pool as we have a completely fenced in yard. They did require we have a fold up ladder.

[@skyechimes658]

I’m pretty sure there are EA builds that use that vent on gabled roofs as well, so I wouldn’t feel bad. And hey, the triangle side of the gabled roof IS a wall.

As a console player I really appreciate a good Maxis build. But I also love watching vids on CC builds. I have TS4 on PC but just base game. CC is fun.

[@markdicristofaro904]

These types of houses came up in the fifties. And times where money was easy to get, but people didn't have unlimited resources, as well. And over the years the style has been modified, otherwise there's no specific period that it belongs to, as far as I know. This style can be seen in tightly packed neighborhoods, or spread out over long back roads. This style is easy to design, build, and maintain, allowing families to grow and disperse, as needs arise. This style can be seen all over America.

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

I'm happy you kept the brick on the exterior. I really loved the contrast and the colors you picked for the paneling. The interior looked really nice too. I'd love to know those cc packs when you have a chance to link them. (and the candelabras were a little gothic, have to agree with james on that one--I think they'd be a fire hazard here)

[@emeraldgamerbear]

I was like "I would try an L-shaped wardrobe there. It would be nice." and then Deli did indeed put one in lol. I loved the reno.❤

[@satinswan1979]

I'd call it 1920s-ish, pre-Depression, Small Town, USA. It reminds me of my grandmother's old house in the little town where my dad grew up when that house would have been new (it was kinda old and run down by the time I was born in 1979). "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Music Man" and "Meet Me In St. Louis". All it's missing is red-white-and-blue bunting. 😄

[@haileeperry7959]

I size the wall vent down and use it like a dryer cover on the outside of my laundry rooms haha

[@markdicristofaro904]

I find it hilarious how people go to extremes to get things just right. And when I look at all of the towns, castles, so on and so forth, that were abandoned and left to rot. As far as I'm concerned? Give me a roof, a kitchen, a bathroom, bedrooms, living room, so on and so forth. But make sure it's durable and functional, the beauty can sit in the background. As long as it gets me through my sixty to eighty years of life, before I go to in nursing home and die, simply is awesome for me. Forget all of this matching wallpaper and flooring. LOL! Please don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the more than capable eyes of Deligracy, she does a great job with these builds that she does. But simply and usable is more important to me. I'm a realist. It is what an optimist calls a pessimist. Major LOL!

[@dianedesaintpierre3573]

Was happy to find some base game houses to put in since I have yet to buy any packs or kits and am terrible at building. My first house ended up being a box made up of ready to place rooms, miss matched everything and I forgot to build a roof for the longest time LOL.

Or get a shell off the gallery and ask James to furnish the upstairs and you furnish downstairs lol.

[@TBrown398]

I really really wanted This to be a 3-4 bedroom. The upstairs was big enough that the onsuite could have been shifted and that could have been another bedroom.

[@voguishthrone5887]

I’m from the rural Midwest, and this seems like it’d be more of a suburban house in maybe the Cities or more towards the South? Not like Deep South, but in one of the states bordering it? Defo doesn’t get too much snow like the northern Midwest but also not like “shut down with an inch of snow”

[@ILuvAyeAye]

"I'm a little confused by the aesthetic in here" - it's called "bachelor chic," Deli. 😆 There's something about a man living alone that says "let's buy entirely neutral furnishings with no life or color." No shade intended to James, of course it makes sense to furnish Sims builds like that, so each person who downloads it can easily customize to their likings and their Sim's needs. But I had so many friends in college who lived in homes that looked just like this. Sometimes it would be really expensive furniture too, it just lacked something.
