[@Mrs.Ragnvindr]

The fact you missed it so much turn into frustration to funny for me ahahahahaha ...but thank god you noticed it 😭😂

[@FiveOnAFriday]

If you play this as a house, I think you'll need to put a regular door out somewhere to be set as the front door, or else visiting Sims will wander in and knock on the bathroom door. And if you visit the house, you won't be able to knock. I built a tiny home with an archway for the front door, so I thought I would share.

[@jaqsre]

kind of related, i also have to lock my back door because otherwise they knock on the front door and then walk around the house to watch tv 💀

[@ILuvAyeAye]

I think a 1x1 building with a door hidden in a debug tree with a thick trunk would work.

[@FiveOnAFriday]

@@ILuvAyeAye That sounds like a really fun idea, I'm imagining a child knocking on the trunk for permission to climb up, so cute!

[@iciajay6891]

A fence gate with move objects could be put in the door to use as a door.

[@saltyfrog3339]

You know when you click doors they can be set as front doors right??

[@amyaurion]

I highly doubt that James will ever read this but for everyone else's information: If you give your Sim a music type to like, and then play that type while they do boring things like reading Herbilism books or doing homework, they will gain a massive fun boost from the music.

[@KolyKie]

Add a grill to avoid the negative buff from microwaved foods 😁 love this build

[@casie6778]

Yesss! I was thinking this too and if he put it in the square behind the house it would make the back window look a lot less award

[@nskyegazer]

I kept wondering why he didn't do this and just make an ourdoor area for both kitchen and dining so the inside would have more space for something else and not need that table.

[@stephanieworkman5110]

The only thing I would recommend adding is a workbench, so you can increase your handiness and then upgrade the bed and appliances. It also would explain where all the “handmade” stuff came from.

[@stephanieworkman5110]

I wish Growing Together added the slide and pole as separate objects that you could attach to builds in addition to having them as upgrades. Then we could slide from the first floor to the second! And make our own playground equipment.

[@belenrb]

A house with slides inside would be so fun!

[@Emsev100]

I wonder if we can find it in debug. 🤔

[@TheWildflower522]

It would be cool to see this fully off grid. It would be annoying but cool for story telling

[@DoveJS]

Oooh yeah! It'd be cool to use palm trees and turn it into an off-the-grid island build with a BBQ pit outside! 😊

[@wildflowerwingz4398]

I love playing off the grid stories. Currently playing one now of a family on the run.

[@Jonito_xcx]

I usually add the generators from Eco Lifestyle when off-the-grid Most of the time you're out of power anyway so it stays fun

[@oceanmythjormundgandr3891]

I like how James shows how to put his builds into the game. So in case somebody doesn´t know, they get to see how with one of his builds.

[@BattyBigSister]

I actually think the s-bend tree could have been good. If you used two of them and positioned the house part on the curved bit...

[@ILuvAyeAye]

I am pretty sure I’ve used that exact tree for a tree house. I sized it up, and made the house part very high up, it took two ladders to get there. It looked more like a tree blind (like one used for hunting or photography) than a tree house for a child, but it was perfect for my runaway tree. The most frustrating part - if you were viewing up at it from the ground, the white “ceiling” really stood out. I wish you could customize ceiling colors in the Sims.

[@Spiderman.X3]

[@Rinaldigotama]

So glad I could finally exhale AT THE LAST 30 SECONDS OF THE VID when you acknowledged the dark fence, Semaj 😤😂

[@gracehansen605]

You could always put a grill outside. To avoid the quick meal problem

[@Punkenve]

My mom had a boyfriend who was an architect. And when he was a teenager he had a treehouse with plumbing and electricity, which I imagine looked a lot like this.

[@Syzygyzzz]

I would love to see a luxe glamping version of this. Maybe with an outside tub. Peak airbnb Insta style. Or a converted van. ❤️

[@alexbr768]

The fact he never noticed the one fence piece that was darker wood!!

[@ladyorapma]

It was driving me crazy the whole time!! He noticed it in the last 35 seconds of the video.

[@Mrs.Ragnvindr]

He did right before the video end ahahahahaha

[@MaryGoodall]

I noticed and was sure he'd notice sooner!

[@Redskid1000]

Yes! I thought for sure he would notice when he placed the telescope. 🔭 He ran his mouse over it several times!

[@abbylor.e]

It killed me the WHOLE time 😭😭

[@-Chiel]

I was thinking adding visible plumbing for the toilet could be a cool addition. For that you could use the vertical pipe from the industrial loft kit by placing it below the toilet. If there's not real plumbing, maybe you could add a compost pile under the treehouse around the bathroom area (and a trash plant for the unpleasant aroma, if you wish to add extra challenge to living in a treehouse).

[@mjsolomon]

If you used a grill and a table, would you need a fridge? And would you avoid the negative moodlets for eating microwave food?

[@JamesTurnerYT]

Interesting idea!

[@clarebo]

A lot of food would go to waste without a fridge though... not that it matters in the Sims!

[@alisakumm9165]

@@clarebo You can use a sales table outside to store food in. It's a bit annoying since you have to manually drag the food you want to eat out of its inventory (and it takes up quite a bit of space, too), but it keeps food fresh at least as long as a fridge. I've been using the Jungle Adventure table in off-the-grid houses for a while now since it fits the aesthetic really well.

[@mi1kguts]

​@@clarebowhy wouldn't you use the mini fridge?

[@simplyodd24]

Really like you build videos, I learn so much about things I didn't even realize you could do. Was blown away the other day when I watched you free place items off of the grid, mind-blowing. Had to go back and adjust some builds after learning that trick.

[@AllineedisKIMI]

Rye, congratulations, you are back in the treehouse!

[@cinnamoon1455]

You can actually upload it as a room without having to remove the walls. This is a trick builders use to upload apartments. You remove the wall, then rebuild the missing piece elsewhere and move it back into place. That way the room doesn't get auto completed and you can trick the game into viewing it as a single room.

[@clarebo]

Ahh, that's brilliant for apartments.. I don't think it would have worked for this build though since part of it is outside the lighting would be messed up.

[@nellieshoals]

I always just delete the wall behind each door. That way, the door stays and it's easiest to find which walls to replace, and they are blank anyways so just clone the wallpaper next to it!!!

[@g_briee_la]

You can actually use a mini fridge for cooking, you don't need a full-size fridge :)

[@entertain-inator_3000]

Watch carefully! He did use a mini fridge.

[@samanthakate2117]

He knows, that wouldn't have made any difference to the size of the kitchen though

[@Cvrcik]

@@samanthakate2117 I think it would, because when you don't put anything on top of the mini fridge, then your Sims can use it for chopping and you don't need a counter. I didn't use it that way for a while, but I guess it was like that.

I'm always pulling doors away from the edge for the same reason. The door jams disappear.

[@HeyItsAmyZing]

@@Miluielle Yes, same! Definitely another pet peeve of mine!

[@foranzo1582]

@@HeyItsAmyZing It's because the walls take a little bit of the tile space, thus it cuts a piece of furniture visibly when the walls are up. If the furniture didn't have that little part, you wouldn't be able to put them next to each other without problems, as they would be too short to connect*. Pretty easy to understand, really (though sometimes a bit annoying to see).

[@katelinette]

Such an awesome idea, loved this build 🙌🏼

[@digitaldiana]

Love this! If you end up using this for Rye, please consider giving him a barbeque grill so that he can make thing other than microwaveable meals. Our king deserves some good food every now and then.

[@syrasha_]

I think Rye would have access to "real meals" through the fridge as they share an inventory

[@MuirlySims]

I do love the treehouse object, but agree that it's lacking in a few areas. Thanks for the build, James! Love it!

[@lypreila7913]

One of the super cool thing about TOOL is that you can Shift+T to open the mod, click on the tree so it's highlighted green, then click "scale" in the menu, and enter any value you want to size it up or down. That way you could make the smaller tree a tiny bit bigger than it is sized down but still smaller than the big tree. If that makes sense? Super cool to see you using TOOL! I swear it's worth it just to be able to sort the kits lol

[@hakudoushinumbernine]

I am TOTALLY getting this for both. I have plans for the complete home lot. Im thinking off the grid, maybe cloning the park lot in cottage living and plopping this there as a home lot. Planting all the plants from the game there so they grow "organically" Nope, you know what?... im firing up the game right now.

Looks awesome! Personally, I'd have added a little fireplace but that's just because I like the aesthetics of little fireplaces in tiny houses =)

[@BriR.98]

While I like the tiny house fibe you didn't have to limit your outside to skill building items only. On the deck you could have used counters to make it have a full "kitchen" on the lot so the sim doesn't tire of microwave meals or put the dining outside. Overall an awesome build as always. Love your videos and hope you enjoy your day 😊

[@Komi83]

And there I was thinkng the reason why debug trees specifically are needed for the build would be the fact that your Sims will be able to walk through them unlike real trees so it won't interfere with the functionality of the house. And James is like: "We need a debug tree for this because real trees are ugly in there, lol."

[@raininscotland]

Your videos always inspire me when I'm in a bit of a sims rut. Gonna try something like this but fully off the grid

[@ThePneumaniac]

Use move objects to merge the garden planter box into the tree trunk holes to make the deck look as it it hugs the tree closer, just an idea since you mentioned you wish it actually attached to the trees. 😎 Also, you could move the dining table to the deck to give you more internal space.

[@wynnyx7071]

20th Century Plumbob has replacements for ceiling tiles. Yes, it will be for all ceilings, but at least its not the plain bright white color. You can choose what the ceiling looks like. They also have great map replacements.

you can make an (almost) fully functional kitchen with a fridge and one counter by putting a DHD range on the counter then adding a dishwasher underneath it. you need to use moveobjects but sims will still use the counter and the range without problems. the only downside is that you can't make things that require an oven
