The Sims 3 House Building - Totally Tubular (1970s House)

[@deligracy]

This was an epic build (dat roof!) aside from the hideously 70s interior! Top effort.

[@hassantate1271]

InstaBlaster...

[@zayraelia7153]

James should do a house building series where he builds a house from each decade starting in the 1920s to the present! :)

[@RAWRanna]

Zayraelia yaaaaasssssss James please do this it would be awesome!

[@sirenia1241]

Zayraelia I would so watch it.

[@scj6693]

Zayraelia i feel like houses between the 20s-50s would look the same

[@GEMMiOx]

Irrelephant Sims has done this exact thing

[@scj6693]

GEMMiOx who cares? That’s like saying that because one simmer built a modern house, no one can

[@alexmccullough3707]

My grandma's house was built in the very early seventies, so I can tell you firsthand that this is spot-on. She, like this house, has a hideous bathroom with a green toilet, shower, and sink.

[@vl50rd]

+Alex McCullough My gran lives in a house very like this too, she also has a hideous green suite in her bathroom

[@ssfinch4761]

Alex McCullough Before we had a house fire and had the whole apartment remodeled, my grandma had a pink tub and funky wallpaper in her bathroom 😂

[@sunshinechuu6711]

Alex McCullough UGH Yes my grandparents house was built in 1976, HIDEOUS wooden walls and pastel blue bathrooms.. yikes

[@BOBBIE041957]

Wow great job! I am 60 yrs old so I was alive back then and you really captured it properly. Brings back memories, we still laugh at the family pics of the 60s and 70s because that Avocado Color appliances was popular back then, my Mom's favorite lol. Love it!

[@sunsetjetstream7091]

Because It hasn't happened yet... HANGIN' OUT, DOWN THE STREET, THE SAME OLD THING, WE DID LAST WEEK, That 70's Show is like my life! lol

[@Ansett1994]

The roof and the ceiling angle! TRULY LOVE IT! :D

[@StarrySim]

You did an amazing job!! Only a few people could have actually pulled this off but I must say you definitely hit this one out of the ballpark!

[@marecormier2065]

I had a BALL watching this speed build. I was born in the early 60's, so I remember having green bathroom fixtures, groovy patterns and the music...Thanks for the awesome cruise down memory lane.

[@Xenwing]

Love the house, you should do a house from each year like this. That would be so cool to see.

[@alozzzy1213]

Thank you so much for building a 70's style home. You are such a great Simmer and KZbinr and I'm so happy to support you! :)

[@JamesTurnerYT]

Thank you :)

[@amandabunter3716]

omg love That 70's Show :) This house is hideously incredible xD

[@jasonmazda]

i love the yellow sitting area :D awesome roof

[@feliciasantiago4345]

70's also had a sunk in living room,I love this home,brings me back to my childhood days 😂God I'm old! I remember because of my grandma,but I was born 1974, but I remember.

[@punkingrl101]

I would love to see you bring this back and do a series of houses based on different decades.

[@judi5384]

I grew up in the 70's and this is my favorite style house! (I have outgrown the colours and patterns though). lol

[@jamie032300]

Oh my god, you completely recreated the hideous interior of my 70's house! The stonework on the outside is accurate as well. Good job!

[@gemini836]

I love this...I grew up in the 70's and this is dead on accurate. The 70's was an ugly era when it came to style but it was the coolest and funky-est era of all time in my opinion.

[@dlxdsgns]

Omg this is one of the most amazing houses you've ever built, I absolutely love it! I'm dying a little bit inside at how horrendous all the colours are but I cannot get enough of it, I want to live here!!!

[@tonymontgomery5881]

I grew up in the 1970s and I can tell you that you are spot on mate! You could even call this an "Early 70's" house. By the time us Yanks were celebrating the bicentennial (1976), the 70's styles really began changing. The horrendous colour schemes and psychedelic feel began to fade.

[@swan8331]

holy shiz if James ever revisites this he'd have such an easy time on the roof with the sims 4, it would save a lot of trouble.

[@Crayistaken]

I loved it!! I know it sounds super weird but i could listen to you talk all day XD

[@Sirah1981]

You actually managed to do research. It came out nice, good job. If only you'd researched 20's/art deco before starting your Roaring Heights LP, maybe I could have watched it for more that 2-3 episodes.

[@JamesTurnerYT]

It's a Let's Play, not a house building series. That series is not about building the best house, it's about playing the game and having a laugh, that's what I intend it to be anyway. Most of the series isn't even building, the sims are actually in University at the moment, and previously the had travelled to Al Simhara, lots of fun moments! :D

[@Sirah1981]

TheSimSupply That's great, I'm glad you're having fun with it. :)

[@WithoutAnAnchor]

I'd love to see you do a series of house build videos with a different historic style for each one :) for example, you could do a 60s one or a 20s one x

[@kittyeyes19]

I realize it's been quite some time since you made this video and chances of you reading this comment are slim, but in regards to the comment you made about having to take the pool table apart to get it in the basement, ALL pool tables are actually moved in pieces and assembled on site. They weigh around 650-900 pounds. Just thought someone might enjoy knowing. Thank you for all you do.

[@Binchen1007]

Really awesome. I love it so much, because I know the 70's.

[@MCManiac55Gaming]

It hurts my eyes. Therefore, it perfectly captures the essence of the 70's! Good job, I think it is really well done! Totally radical, man!

[@TicketsAndPassports]

I really love the attention to detail in this house. I noticed you left out dishwashers, trash compactors and computers, obviously since they weren't around in the 70's. Also really love the awful patterns and especially the loft, they really add to the feel of the house!

[@dem2349]

Words can't explain how much I love this house! haha! I always try to build houses from past decades and can never get them to work right. Oh, well. Love this house so much!

[@zapbrannigannn]

Can you do a 50's inspired build?!?!

[@matthewhemmings2464]

Holy Shit. My Grand-mother moved out of her house back in the 1990s when my grand-father and her came to the city for treatments. They didn't sold the house, and never really modified it since the late 70s, and to be honest it used to have the same feeling to it. The stone, the woods, the carpet (The carpets were so ugly!!!). Floral patterns, accordion doors, huge drapes.... And the smell. Oh! It was so awesome. We sold the house a while back, and of course the new owner changed it entirely. But I still have so much childhood memories going there with my family. Great build.!

[@icantbefucked5451]

My mum lived in the 70's. I showed her this. She Loves it! She said it reminds her of her childhood!

[@angelmuggleangel5042]

One of my Aunt lives about an hour or so outside of Las Vegas. I love almost everything about her house... The backyard is small but nicely kept, the three bedrooms are also small, but have small walk-in closets, the kitchen has just the right amount of cupboard space and there are two bathrooms. The first bathroom is a little on the small side, but has a nice shower. The second bathroom is huge with; two sinks in the long counter, a large corner tub, a shower in the second corner, toilet near one of the sinks and wall-to-wall carpet! It's the only thing about her house I couldn't understand... I mean, what's the point of putting carpet in the bathroom!?! It's a breading ground for germs, that's why rugs are better. With rugs, you can take them out to wash them, or just replace them after a while. You can't replace carpet quite so easily.

[@TheDutchMusician]

you've made a great job on this one you really got a good insight of building en interior!

[@ryne_1685]

I don’t know why but I love 50s, 60s, and 70s styles I know they are hideous but u just love everything about them idk. I’d love to live in a old 50s diner (renovated obvs) I feel like I should have been alive in the 70s. Maybe it’s because I’m so close to my grandma and she was a teen in the 79s. And I like the that 70s show

[@hannahmaher4470]

The sad thing is I've seen multiple green bathrooms in base game "modern day" houses. Great house deco EA

[@LCAAusten]

Ah! So good when you put so much personality in it. One of your best, perhaps...

[@ahonestwoman]

hey you know what you needed in the master bedroom..Mirror walls...The 70's had alot of mirror walls..:)

[@JamesTurnerYT]

Yeah there are in the master bedroom :)

[@ithilrae7726]

It definitely is hideously gorgeous! haha good job James.

[@KylieLatiolais]

The Brady Bunch theme song is stuck in my head now! Anyway, this is a fantastic house build!

[@BeatlesFan798]

A lot of the slang you were using (psychedelic, groovy) was more 1960s than 70s. Just pointing that out as you mentioned the Austin Powers movies, as the Austin Powers character himself was based in 1967. Other than that this is a great house and you've got great attention to detail. Keep up the good work!

[@RamblingRu]

Absolutely groovy!!!! Loving the bold colours, OMG RAINBOW HOUSE PLZ

[@Jay-hs7bz]

The effort you put into the roof totally pays off; this might be my favourite house build you've done :)

[@GreatGospel97]

this would be a fun house to buy, start your sim family out with like 0 dollars, and make them work to refurnish it so it's modern

[@delaneym.7412]

Never thought I'd be looking to a build-it video for ideas but great job on this. Definitely going to try something similar.

[@MissFunilla]

omg... that's great! i'll never download this, it's totally not my style :D but i love it, you've done this soo great... wow! the "beenie chairs" (??) are from generations :)

[@apriljlg]

When I moved into my house 4 years ago it had green toilet, sink and bath and stuff haha they were the first things to go. Amazing house though!! Love your videos >.

[@LourencoPeter]

I love these decade specific inspired houses james, It's definitely something you rarely see people doing. How about a 80s and 90s inspired build next?

[@smnrztrk]

we have that green bathroom!!! because our house built in 1975. when i saw that green bathroom OMG i love it :D My fav house of yours this one for now. :D

[@Narsuaq]

I'm conflicted. It's hideous but also kind of beautiful. You nailed the 70s look!

[@RugejaBabe]

This house is freaking hot! I made a mid century modern house back in November and this reminds me of it...one of my best creations....

[@jlt94earthwarrior1]

Still got the old yellow washer and dryers and they still work to this day! Grew up extremely poor so everything i own was hand me downs, i never had something new in my entire life! Had one brother and i was a girl so all his old clothes i got! My bed frame is from the 40s from my great grandma and great grandpa. My dressers, tables, couches were all 40s style from great grandparents. The rest of the family claimed their house. This house takes me back to my childhood days! We had 70's,40's, 20's and every thing in between furniture. i still have all of my great grandparents furniture to this day! I'm fully grown and still poor as hell. lol I still wear hand me downs. All my money goes towards rent, and after paying rent i have a whopping 10 dollars left out of my paycheck! Life shouldn't be about being a slave to working but unfortunately it is. =(

[@allypale5282]

I love how this house has like triangle roofs and cause it's so open and tall love it!!!

[@sambecker23]

The interior is so hideous it's awesome! Great build!

[@Rainbowsofanxiety]

I know this was 2 years ago, but we had a pool table and you want to move them as little as possible but when you do move them, they come totally apart. the legs un screw and the felt is removed. The top of a pool table is multiple slabs of slate that are seriously heavy and require professional movers but after that the sides all separate from each other and everything gets reassembled in the new location and you usually have to get new felt for it. Just a little "The more you know!" for ya. :)

[@MissAllie0717]

I have a dollhouse from the '70s. It has real carpeting and wallpaper, some of the wall patterns are almost as crazy as these ones :P This house looks really great!! And accurate, too, I think! :D

[@stonersiren]

this is still my favorite build of yours :D

[@GamerMargaret1]

Amazing, as always!

[@darrius5493]

I am such a huge fan of retro, mid-century, chic, and 70's houses, music, CLOTHES, etc. I LOVE this house! However, the roof is a little high for a 70's house, but of course, constrainFloorElevation False is VERY hard to work with.

[@aSwedishGirl]

this reminds me of houses found here in Sweden.. we have lots of them old houses and most still have their old wallpapers and floors and such, although it's getting with the times to renovate them, mostly because they need to. And people have brought their own furniture with them, not having that old look. But I swear, my grandparents live in this house that my grandpa's father, grandfather and great grandfather built up. They renovated the kitchen before, but for a long time they didn't have a sink (no water) and an outhouse. not even a proper stove.

[@shinigamidesu]

the green bathroom reminds me of a bathroom in my grandmother's house...you hit it head on

[@keeleysims]

That was such a fun build to watch! Great job James :)

[@OpheliaXo]

Please do more houses like these! I love the medium sized house. I just wish that there were more bedrooms like 3 or 4 atleast.

[@josiesimmer4322]

BTW: The bean-bag chairs you use are from Generations. =3

[@Lovlyb35]

I don't know about others, but I love totally out of the box. This house will great for my 70's family, I just done. I don't know how you knew that I was wanting a house for them 70s style. Do you have a cam on me, lol. Thanks love it, perfect!! :)

[@MrMorda898]

Definitely one of your best houses

[@SeaWeird]

In the Brady Bunch TV Show, one of the kids broke the horse statue playing football in the house. "Mom always said, don't play ball in the house." In A Very Brady Sequel (the satire movie), the statue was worth a lot of money and some guy thought up a plan to steal it from them. I think Marsha's nose was broken by a football in one of the films where they used the same line from the tv show.

[@taytertottt]

I say you make a house every once in a while that follows each decade since maybe the 1910s or something, starting with Roaring Heights styled houses or something? It would be so cool. :)

[@Ltresso12]

When sims always take out their cellular in the home. That wouldn't work

[@RitaDevicora]

Oh my gosh, I love this house! You should do a let's play test of this house! lol So funky!

[@watchingponies]

Awesome builds, James. I wish i was more patient to do this myself. I was born in the 70s, so i remember my mom and dad had like orange couches and psychadelic wallpapers. Even had a wall with wallpieces of a sunset bwaha. Subbed, amigo. Great building and nice narrating.

[@OpheliaXo]

FAVORITE HOUSE by you ever.

[@josiesimmer4322]

Hey, can you do a 80's house like the one in 'The Goldbergs'?

[@eowynivan]

i built the that 70s show house, its got the basement and everything. it needs more stuff to make it perfect but i dont have the expansion and stuff packs for everything that the house needs. but it turned out really well

[@ElanaIsHere]

I've been in a house with an extremely similar roof (just way bigger) and my dad called it a psychedelic house, while the agent who was selling it called it a brady bunch house! It honestly looked very similar to this house!

[@HannahMacHUNC]

My house was built in the 70s and the walls are covered in wood paneling, there's floral wallpaper, parquet flooring and fugly carpets, and the bathrooms have green baths, toliets and sinks

[@jasminebee2060]

It looks so authentic, great job! :)

[@jessicamiller6556]

I love your houses! I have like 5 of them in my neighborhood!

[@madalynnekoeppe7596]

Thanks so much for building this house I wanted to make one like this but I had no idea how to get that nice low sloping roof. This house looks awesome and I can't wait to use it in my game :D

[@krystalkline5102]

I love this house so much it's so beautifully hideous

[@somedude5644]

Definitely remenistant of a 1970's rancher. I love the architechure of this game.

[@vanessasavage1297]

I quite like this house - it's a very quiet version of a 70s house. I know you won't believe me but the single statement wall of bright vibrant colours with the other three being in matching toned down colours just didn't happen - ALL four walls would've been in the same pattern wallpaper. And every room would be different (stairs, hallway and landing would be counted as one room). Bathrooms all had carpet or a large rug to give them that luxury feel - and talking of carpet - you wouldn't believe the patterns that were considered perfect for a every day house. You probably couldn't have put them in anyway as I can't see why they would've been included in the game lol. That green coloured bathroom? Was called a 'Avocado suite' by the way.

[@margiebyrge2766]

wow you did an amazing job on building a 70s house and seeing how i was born in 73 i would kinda know lol your very talented :)

[@sophialetheia]

lol this house is sooo...I can't find the right adjective for it, but believe me its something positive. I really like it :)

[@MissxJadex]

Definitely going to download and renovate this house to a more modern style house

[@98lissie98]

So amazing wish I could have it but I have no stuff packs and I'm missing some expansion packs. I'll just watch amazement and envy for now ;D

[@AlanLedesma349-59untjnrtbjio]

Actually, you can get this house, although some of the items will be replaced with some that you already have and also look similar.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

If you only change part of the roof, you can drag walls perpendicular across the slope to get it to the same level as when using CFE false walls change heights underneath too.

[@EJIsaksen]

Everything in our old bathroom was bright blue... like everything! I kinda miss it :)

[@MsSagaEl]

Aw man, I can remember having a deep blue carpet in the bathroom when I was a child. That was horrendous. Good times, good times. Groovy house, man.

[@josisdope]

I love this it's so authentic lots where I live these homes are really common but I'm sure they're not as psychedelic as the interior of this one (:

[@Crystalfire97]

Looks really amazing, great job james :)

[@dev8777]

Wow this guys builds are amazing, so far from what i would ever be able to achieve, i probably wouldn't even ever think of half of this stuff. epic. He should design real houses if he doesn't already.

[@BlazerBoy1337]

This is BEAUTIFUL man! Great job!

[@weronikamichalska2051]

I would love to see other decades as well ;D It could be a new series!

[@Peacchbee]

If you haven't seen That 70's Show you should probably re-evaluate your life.

[@BonJoviMad100]

I haven't seen all of them, but I've seen a few episodes.

[@smileysface18]

kendra tylee I've watched that series twice. It will forever be my favorite.

[@xSolidgamezx]

Wow James, it turned out great!

[@JC-yj5bd]

In my grandparents basement it leads to the outside because the ground slopes down so you could have done that. First in the basement there are stairs without a railing leading down then there is a room with a couch pushed against the stairs with another couch next to it and a tv against a column also in that room is a bar, and a pool table off of that room is a bathroom with the same green stuff you put in the video and a closet. Off of the main room through a sliding glass door is a small room with a hot tub in it then a sliding glass door leading to the outside.

[@nathanjames9246]

Amazing build and an amazing builder don't get me wrong its not your builds James its the 70's design but you would never in a million years see mike play in this house.l

[@Tijjain]

This is a great house James.

[@SammyNail]

Back when i lived in Massachusetts the house we had was built in the 70s and had a fireplace in the basement and one right above it in the living room. They shared the flume and it was sick but ventilation was not the best if it got smokey lol

[@KristenVOtaku]

I absolutely love this house! Definitely going to download :)

[@TwilightLover801]

I absolutely love this house! Great job :)
