I turned this shell into a mid century house

the relief when he said he wasn't just gonna use basegame 😅

We are still waiting for essential elements present in all the other sims games that are missing: - Being able to cuddle your partner in bed and not just sleep - Being able to read a book lying on your bed! - Very poor romantic interactions in this opus - Thieves

[@loverrlee]

OMG SAME! 😂 Glad I wasn’t the only one! Like no shade to people who only have Base Game, but there are sooooo many good Mid Century items in other packs it would have felt so incomplete!

[@unpreparedwithacapitalf]

​@@sylverpepper Obviously it should just be a feature but if you use mods there's one called bed cuddle by thepancake1 that's pretty cute

[@agnieszkasobera1870]

[@mauratyson9580]

I love how this build is actually mid century with the obnoxious colors and decorations. When I do midcentury it's definitely a more contemporary take on it. I also appreciate the wall lights in every room because my family's house is midcentury and all of our bedroom's have a single super dim wall light

[@morgan3716]

Yes!!!!

Mid-century vs. mid-century modern

Have you seen Deli's midcentury? It's what made me fall in love with her builds!

[@Sirah1981]

I have to say, watching that granny flat being decorated I was suddenly very excited that people are going to start making guest rooms in their builds for overnight stays in Growing Together. Stick Kyle into the poolhouse!

[@Kate09090]

Just don’t give Kyle a grill. He is apparently prone to starting fires. 😂

[@kitssewingkit]

the super *dark* closed off kitchen is so true. I live in my grandparents' house they bought in the early 1960s, and we still have the original really dark red oak upper and lower cabinets. they're so ugly but i kinda love them lol

[@sleepythemis]

There's a coziness to that kind of room tbh, my grandparents's house was the same way.

[@kitssewingkit]

@@sleepythemis its a very cosy grandparent kinda room, like a hug

[@kingkushezio2581]

We need all of that and I miss the kissing on the bed animation before woohoo and they added where you can sit on the ground but u can’t do anything while sitting on the ground . I miss cops and burglars and the food animation needs to be redone .And I wish we had carpool instead of teleporting straight to work .

[@gracie_l_lee]

I love this house- I think I would be able to live there for at least three weeks before I started hating the mid century stuff, which is pretty impressive

[@MrFlosshatt]

Honestly, this got to be one of your best builds. Totally vibing.

[@aliencafe]

I was gonna say the same thing! This is one of my favorite builds, I'm going to have to pop this into my world so I can visit it!

I’m feeling so spoiled by James lately! 🙌🏼 looking forward to becoming a member soon when I have more money 💚

[@selkiefluff]

I love the Desert Lux sliding door, but as I painfully learned in my own gameplay, the game treats it as an archway and random townies will constantly enter your home through it unless you have a locked fence 😩😩 Can't have nice things...

[@Kate09090]

I would probably only use that in a fenced in backyard purely because I don’t trust townies. It doesn’t surprise me that they constantly enter your home given that they constantly enter your conversations uninvited. (Not that I’m ok with it, I’m just not surprised). I wonder if it still happens if you use the “set as front door” option on a different door. 🤔

[@totakluska]

I love how the shell's shape is interesting but not crazy, if you know what I mean. I'm not a member but I'll definitely use it as a base for a community outdoor pool, with the part in the back as a supply storage

[@kiku_ki]

this video made me so happy. you can feel how James actually enjoys just vibing and decorating, and its contagious 😍

[@co9923]

Thank you for releasing a video almost every day! That's commitment, and we like it 👏 You are contributing to my wellness 😆

[@green_eyed_enchantress]

I can't describe the effect that James' videos have.. Like always sunny, save place I can come whenever I need 🤲🏻

[@blueocean43]

That was like stepping into my step-grandad's house. I have only one note, and that is avocado bathroom sets. Or that unsettling beige colour that makes the bathroom look constantly dirty, but I don't know if the sims had an unsettling beige bathroom, whereas it definitely has a full avocado set.

[@SheaTheSarcastic]

The house that I grew up in was built in the late 1940’s. The whole back wall of the living room was made up of window panes, very similar to what you did in this living room (ours were more rectangular though). Spot on! My brother rode his ride-on tractor through them once, coming down the little hill in our small backyard. He broke the windows, but didn’t get a scratch on himself!

[@EmsIsFab]

I LOVE mid century design (not for my own home - but in concept and to look at builds and decor in that style) so this build is just HITTING right. I LOVE that kitchen and living room? The wood paneling and the stone??? So good!

[@theappalasian9679]

Those jungle adventure windows are absolutely perfect for a mid century home. I always find myself using them to create breezeways for my mid century builds.

[@moth_..]

James is really PUSHING out content. We appreciate the hard work

[@coramincer4530]

I love this build so so much. Hope it ends up on the gallery eventually! And a members only shell challenge is very intriguing! Can't wait to find our more!!!!

[@elvenrule]

I LOVE midcentury so I was really excited to see this video posted 👀 obsessed w this build already and I’m not even done watching

[@ermintrude_fanshaw]

I really love this build, leaning hard into the mid century aesthetic was super fun!

[@lady_broth2441]

This build was so "uncanny valley" for me. It looked strangely similar to the house I grew up in. 10/10

[@unpreparedwithacapitalf]

70s decor is my favorite I love this build. All the greens, oranges and wood EVERYWHERE 😭 you nailed it

[@kristinaBOMB]

I feel like this was such a classic James build. Absolute chaos, slightly maniacal laughing, and then somewhere near the middle it just magically comes together. It blows my mind every time hahaha.

[@creativeendeavorsgalore]

I really loved this video James! Your speed builds are great, but I actually like the shell build video better. It's nice to hear your thought process in real time because it helps uninspired builders like me learn. I also really love how you occasionally have this sly little laugh that kinda says "haha, gotch' ya little bugger" whenever you figure out a clever way to use an item or area. Hope to see more of these :)

[@Chet_Thornbushel]

This reminds me so much of my grandparents home. I think they moved into it in the 60s and it did not change at all over the decades 😆 This was a fun build, I like when you focus on a specific theme/era!

[@skylzv]

hearing the little giggles and excitement after choosing the worst swatch yet perfect mid century swatch is killing me

[@brdnmlna]

You did a fantastic job on this. Really faithful to the period in terms of style and layout. It can be hard to restrain yourself with midcentury and you did!

[@IamaKaliedoscope]

I kind of love this. It reminds me of my grandma's house which definitely had those mid-century vibes.

[@darrylwhitefeather207]

It's crazy how much about architecture I'm learning because of you!

[@PhoeFireaga]

My dad lived in one of these type for 30 years and rarely changed anything. The basement was the only updated space. Very contemporary. Upstairs had wood paneling and green carpets in every room. Kitchen was very dark with a dimmer switch for the light, linoleum floors, built in wall oven, and sliding screen doors that led to a patio from the kitchen. The bathroom was bright blue. Even the toilet and shower/tub was blue.

[@leahbobeaa]

I love how excited James gets when he builds lol, it truly brings me so much joy

[@Chinajade88]

I do understand why many folks want u to stick to base game, but using cc just makes the builds and videos more dynamic. We get to see your creativity come out more, because you have more options. I personally find it more inspiring. I don't have all of the content, but it puts ideas in my head and I find it fun to "shop" around for similar items. Love your builds!

[@SlimChayT]

This is for some reason one of my fave builds youve done recently. I love it!!

[@itsspelledgiulia1203]

love midecentury style, and there are so many packs that work with it! love the risks that you took with this build. just wondering -- does the murphy bed in the granny flat have a couch or no? it seemed like in the buy mode catalog there was a couch but also a couchless murphy bed option.

[@EmilyBlueJaye]

Yeah, I noticed the one he placed doesn't have a couch. I suspect he was thinking the couch folds out (and bed?) Brain hiccup!

[@TheMissjayelle]

[@thisisafox1961]

Will this be uploaded to the gallery? It's inspired me to convert an entire neighborhood into a mid-century one.

It reminds me of a 70s home that I see on the renovation HGTV channel lol like after 20 years it’ll be rundown with water damage since the floor was dipped in and they opened up all the walls and leveled everything out lol

[@PARAM0RE]

i love this build so much. so many creators don't know what mid century really is but you always do. it should look dingy, brown, and cheap. it SHOULD smell like cigarettes lol.

[@meikahidenori]

When I think mid century homes my brain automatically thinks of Thunderbirds and how beautiful the original Tracy Island house was. A two story mid centurey open plan home, pool room, shooting range, bar room, reading room, atomic kitchen and lush pool with a outside round house guest stay.... and all the 'other' underground features like personal airport and secret rescue stuff. 🤣 I'd love to see someone recreate that in the sims!

[@the_nikster1]

I love this build! it was so fun watching you obviously enjoy building this lot. one suggestion: maybe put some curtains on the sliding glass doors in main bedroom for privacy. you could use some of the ones that are open but look like they might close. thanks for another fantastic video James! ❤

[@EmilyBlueJaye]

Super cool build! After you got going with the mid-century vibe I forgot it was a shell challenge! Just looks like a fun themed build. A true build master!

Mid Century is one of my favorite architectural designs (I wouldn’t want to live in one irl but there is no denying their stand out design!) I like a lot of Mid Century furniture too. I think James nailed the Mid Century Modern look of this house! I especially love the details of using those wall dividers to create fake walls, technically not cheating at his own shell, but only technically! 😂

[@arjones523]

James you should use this house for your growing together rags to riches! It’s like a 60-70s sitcom house! They could renovate and update it as they make money and there’s room for a couple generations! You could make it a little more run down for the let’s play

I started falling in love with this house when he put in the roof. And then when the stone wallpaper comes in and those windows and those brick fences 😭😭😭 I love this house so much 😭😭😭 The only things I don't agree with are the brick fence in the kitchen- I think a half wall will be more spot on, like a takeout counter & those beige loungers. Beige wasn't even invented yet in the mid-century 🤪

[@shaynaraine3957]
