I have a bachelor in fine arts I can say your art pieces makes sense. use some fancy words and you got it.

as another BFA haver, i second this. i got an A+ for unravelling a knitted scarf and leaving it on the floor. its all about how you talk about it lol

[@apatosaurusanna]

Yup. My nearby art museum had an art piece that was literally a pile of wrapped green candies on the floor. People were encouraged to eat the candy, which was regularly replenished. It was a commentary on... something?

[@CharliFoxxx]

The fact you literally made an art piece which fits in with the world... so smartly done

[@pweetsable]

"I should be an artist" ... You are an artist, James. First I was in awe with the building and then the installations. I would go to that museum irl!

[@fireworks-swamp]

Right? He's like "lol look at this silly museum" meanwhile he's making actual art pieces with valid commentary. james you are an ~*artiste*~

[@skystygian]

As an artist I'm very very entertained by the shoehorned "deep" explanations for the pieces, it's very realistic 😂

[@ashleyh1555]

James just casually building a museum full of stunning art pieces with a complete story. Amazing!

[@tithikarmakar7055]

James, that tyre installation is so eco-brutalist, I love it so much! ❤️👏🏽

[@josiemae-ross3268]

The building is an 'architect's dream, engineer's nightmare' which is perfect for a modern art gallery. Nice one. 🥳😆

You are singlehandedly making the sims 4 more fun for other players! Definitely more than EA does... They need to pay you for your service honestly

[@sabrinadamron2332]

I was just thinking that his tools on his website are so great for people who are struggling with ideas in the sims. The random pack generator is a phenomenal tool to force yourself out of your comfort zone and make something you would’ve never dreamt of otherwise! Like this museum 😍

[@FriedFreezer]

DUDE!! The exterior is awesome but more than that; I can’t believe you made actual art!! I was expecting the usual sculptures and paintings! When you revealed the trapped tires I was sitting there thinking “must be debug but I’ve never seen it 🤔” but you MADE it?! As someone who only uses tool mod to slightly resize rugs and move treehouses off lot, I can’t imagine how much effort this took! you must have been having fun to get through it all 😅 it’s amazing I love it. If you were still on sm I’d take screenshots of my sims doing the thoughtful camera pose in front of your pieces and tag you 😂

[@Unknown2Yoo]

As an archivist, the set-up for the paintings is actually a good idea for preservation. Many older items will be damaged over time by sunlight, so having it's own shaded room is a great idea for display while preserving the life of the artifact when they're brought out for exhibition.

[@riewinters]

Can we all agree that James is one of the most talented and creative Sims builders ever? Love this museum so much! ❤

[@christabelle__]

In a recent Let's Play, you went into the beached ship in Sulani, and mentioned wanting to renovate it - I'd *love* to see that! You could do all kinds of themes with it! It could be residential, or a bar, or whatever - but that's a lot I don't see people ever really touch, and you're so creative, I bet you could give that ship some oomph!

[@NoDecaf7]

yes! I've never been able to come up with something I enjoy playing with that ship.

[@katkay9923]

@@NoDecaf7I usually make it a secret mermaid bar/grotto/hang out. Sometimes the ship theme stays sometimes I full on make it a little cave for them. If you have het togerher you can also make a club w just mermaids and meet up there and stuff

23:52 "'The clocks are being burnt, time is being wasted. You're wasting time in this museum, potentially watching this video too. No, please stay.'' *nervous laughter* I love this part 😂

[@lixyororke]

19:34 as someone with a bachelors in fine arts, let me help you. servitude has always been a stage for consumerism and commercialism -- we might pine for a bygone era where people had a place, where service was respected, and morals were upheld. but that time was never as clean as we might like to think. what truly is the difference between the butler and the gnome? what is the gnome if not a more honest representation of our world? servitude has always been the way the rich and powerful has controlled others. in the eyes of the powerful, the gnome is no different to the butler. something like that. lmao

[@LivinInSim]

The exhibit title card, "A life of servitude, upon servitude, upon servitude, until 'gnome' more-------but then, Death!"

I need a museum with all the packs from you, this is the coolest museum I have seen in this game. If you use the other crazy stuff this game has you can make something insane

[@LetTheBodyFall]

[@MissFunilla]

I love that we not only got a museum, but also an original James Turner art exhibition out of this! :D Love the art theme, would go there!

[@brennan3723]

As someone who goes to a ton of modern art museums, this build made me so excited! Truly the high point of my day. I was telling my husband all about how much the art you filled it with reminded me of real things I’ve seen. If you’re looking to do some more wacky builds, I’d love to see you renovate the Strangerville plane crash and the Sulani ship wreck!

[@EdenWeinberg]

I love that you gave commentary to the tires statue 🛞🤣 Also edit: at 21:05, the girl reaches to gold. I’ve literally seen something similar in a museum before 🤣

[@Rocannee]

it reminds me of banksy's girl with balloon 🤣

[@isia333]

23:43 "I think I should actually be an artist". You ARE an artist, James!

[@Beth-sk5cn]

I am so impressed with the exhibits 😂😂 I’d visit this museum in real life ! I could never be this creative 🤣

[@TMarieBJudon]

It would be so cool to do 1 NEW Build for each Expansion Pack.

[@DoveJS]

I agree! It'd still be fun if he rolls it for the additional concepts and then make sure he doesn't do repeated packs... unless he REALLY likes the result.

[@AllTheThings13]

A peek inside your brain as you describe your art is most entertaining. A real talent

[@rebeccawicker6207]

James. You are an artist. The sims is basically a creative art outlet… keep living the dream lol!! Love your videos by the way!!!

[@secretstumbles321]

The tire exhibit at the front of the museum entrance immediately reminded me of TLOU!!! I can’t believe this bougie museum has a SINGULAR toilet for everyone to use! Hope that coffee from the cafe doesn’t hit everyone’s tummy at the same time.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Emthe30something]

James' website always impresses

[@MorganeLainard]

When I saw there wasn't a lot of luxe and shabby items I was worried but wow the results are mind blowing. Such creativity to make art installations that make sense. And I love the fact that there are a lot of activities to do in the museum to make the build more interesting to play in.

[@msbeckiejean]

It's kind of wrong how much I love James' original art pieces in this vid.

[@merlinsbadoo]

This is legitimately the coolest build. I will definitely download this lot into my game it’s so multifunctional

[@riewinters]

I love the eccentric, unique shape of the building! You definitely nailed this museum wow! ❤

[@tristanpaulik8419]

Sims 4 builds can be so same old same old. I feel like we’ve seen so much of the same stuff especially with the lack of swatches and options and customization. But this is so unique and creative and amazing. My sims never go to museums but i am totally going to use this! I love it.

[@tristanpaulik8419]

You should do more of this challenge

[@Nestofboo]

Admittedly I’ve not seen that many museum builds, but all the same this is the first museum build I’ve seen that feels intentional. It actually makes sense and looks good at the same time. It feels very legit unlike a lot of sims museums… Love this build!

[@hennakola2922]

I'm actually genuinely impressed by the art installations, they are really clever! I literally never use museums in the Sims but this one I'll definitely get in my worlds, thank you so much

[@julies1288]

LOVE this build! Also, I have a fun challenge! I’d love to see you and deli work together on a house, but only get like 15 minutes each and then having to build further on what the other built, and when the other person builds you’d have to go so you wouldn’t see what they’d do, if that makes sense!

[@Wtchking]

This is one of my favorite builds you have ever done. Oh my god. Astonishing!

[@princessjellyfish98]

I kind of love the idea of a museum on this lot in this neighborhood. I think the reason the Eco Lifestyle world feels so empty is because so many of the community lots are the community spaces, which I understand is necessary for the gameplay (they want you to be able to move into any neighborhood in the world and interact with the new lot type), but it never occurred to me to renovate the world in this way and now I wanna give it a try! Give the residents of Evergreen Harbor some places to go and things to do!

[@Emthe30something]

24:58 i would! Many of the pieces are thought provoking. Kudos James.

[@aybikeerol7755]

The fact that I would love to visit this museum 😮😂

[@eufaemia]

I am SO INTRIGUED by the art exhibit challenge! It could be a challenge in itself tbh. Roll a theme and create scupltures to interpret those ideas and concepts. It could get real deep with some dedication! Obviously, when everything is built, you have to give a tour, in first person, and pretend you're the guide.

[@BananaJeansG]

OMG James is an artist! I love your art piece and the meaning behind it!! And this was my initial thought, only after the first art piece with the overgrown tires. I didn't expect it to continue, I just expected the classis TS4 museum art pieces. This was such a nice, creative video!! And amazing how all the exterior luxe wall art pieces counted as wall art, so that you didn't really have to think about it for the inside, where they were probably intended to count, by the TS4 team. Great job!!

[@universalis2078]

Not just a builder, but an artist too. Excellent! 👌🏻

[@blacknails512]

you and the tool mod are really an unstoppable duo! this is the most creative museum build ive watched, the art pieces you came up with were so fun and fit into the style/story of the pack really well, great job!!

[@lwoods507]

I don't know if James has ever been, but the way the black, sharply angled museum sits above the water with an interior full of shabby-chic and lightwood flooring? Very reminiscent of the V&A Museum up here in Dundee, Scotland! Very clever!

[@ElleMyche]

Very cool! Also, James gets more and more excited as he goes along. From museum, meh. To museum, hey this is fun!

[@iamchakiandchaki]

This is my favourite build video ever. So inspired!! Love just letting loose and creating art installations with limited options, and the architecture is so cool 🤩 it suits the world, but stands out. Feels like a real modern art museum. It’s made me want to go and make debug art in the existing museums to spruce them up 😆

For another challenge I’ve had a lot of fun with spinning a wheel to get 2 styles in each room you have to combine. The industrial Queen Anne kitchen and mission cosmolux living room were surprisingly nice!

[@lost2darkness]

Im super impressed with this - I am glad to see a lot of professionals in the arts are agreeing because you are making art within art it's really cool! You're both designing the museum to make sure each of these exhibits "pops" in relation to the environment on top of actually making the art piece.

[@Eltyanistah]

That is définitely one of my favourite build you've ever did! I'm legit so impressed by the contemporary art pieces you created out of a challenge like this. I'm definitely gonna place it in my game! The suspended fridge, the flying gold, the gnomes, the time being overcooked, the trash, the tires... And of course the exhibition is interactive! Everything is so real and perfect!

I love the idea that, this gallery was built after the world had been cleaned up and fixed and they commissioned artists to create works from the trash around the world. Such a cool build James!

[@Oh_Ann]

I wish they did some update on the museums (or maybe a pack) so you could host different exhibitions, and have the exposition change for all those events. It could allow you to select the pieces, maybe even add yours, choose a theme, a dj, catering etc

[@embroideryisland639]

I loved this challenge and build! As a fine arts major, I give your pieces a big thumbs up, especially the gold one. I loved how you even used the different colored lighting to best work with each exhibit. It was great how you had some more interactive areas as well.

This was a really fun and creative build challenge! James naming and describing his art exhibit pieces was so funny I was literally laughing out loud.
