These Sims earnt enough money for a new house

[@Frenchaboo]

This home really reminds me of a sitcom/00s teen drama house, with that over the top teenage daughter bedroom and the general colors/vibes. A lawyer father that competes with the neighbour, a neurotic mother, a teenage girl and a little bro sound like a solid show setup as well LOL

[@annasanchez8588]

Almost like Cheaper by the Dozen lmao, I think it's the second movie where the dads from both families compete with each other haha

[@AKA_Studios]

Not to mention that the daughter is best friends with the rival neighbor!

[@DoveJS]

It makes me think of Clarissa Explains It All! The family dynamic isn't entirely accurate but it's close enough and the room is perfect plus with the trellis ladder and Addison walking over to visit Hillary, it makes me wish Sims could autonomously climb up and down into the window instead of being forced in or out by locked doors. Just imagining Addison popping over to casually pop his head up into the window and have a little chat after Hillary explains her current situation makes me chuckle. ☺😄

[@alisonamy1687]

It's very much giving Lizzie McGuire 😂

[@SoapiePaws]

I was hoping you'd do this build! Reginald was just a little too much better than Sydney haha, now he has a house worthy of competition

[@AKA_Studios]

I love how Forest gets the biggest room with a walk-in wardrobe AND a balcony. Reginald would never, lol

[@shaampow5412]

Forest is the golden child bc Hillary is "fraternizing with the enemy" with her friendship with Addison so Sidney and Ava gave him the better room 😂

[@reyrats]

I think the reason that the kits are doing pretty well on your pack review survey is because those of us who don’t like them probably didn’t get them, and we had to skip the packs we don’t have. So the people that rated the kits already liked them enough to buy them. I’d say that’s true of the other packs too except kits are a case where a lot of people are against them entirely and that whole crowd won’t have a say in the survey.

[@LuluPhil99]

You're so right, and it skews the results

[@Roboarrow]

I think also there wasn't a category for "worth the money" because while I like a lot of the kits when I examine what's in them, I still don't think they're worth the price. They should really go on sale and/or have like a bundle deal at the very least.

[@gnu740]

@Haven They could offer 2 for $8 or something like that. People who think $5 is too much might be more inclined to pay $4 each, while EA benefits by getting $8 from people who otherwise wouldn’t buy a single pack. They could even bundle only selected packs together, to make some extra cash off the kits that aren’t selling well anymore or which were never that popular.

[@iwubiggy]

Would be such a good idea to pair kits together that would kind of make sense to use together like grouping certain fashion kits or some of the build kits so people get what they want and it’s maybe $10 for three instead of $15 I would be much more inclined to buy. At that price point it would be the same as the stuff packs to be fair for a somewhat similar amount of content.

[@Kee97]

Finally something to pass the time while I’m at work … “working”. So happy you built Sydney and Ava a new house! They were definitely losing against Reginald in that Shack of a house 😂

[@smith7206]

Same 😂 watching while “working”

[@Ekundert1300]

[@sierravera1051]

I use that house in my let’s play and it is small

[@inoriya]

Give the dog a dog bed!! Love the exterior of the house. It's so rare to see James playing with colors, which turned out quite nice!

[@skyechimes658]

When Forest is a teen, will you add a sneak ladder to his balcony? I really like how the house came out, and I’m enjoying seeing you build for specific families! I think it’s pushing you to do different things and it’s really enjoyable to watch. I liked that Asher “second chance at love adopt a million kids” guy’s house Reno as well.

[@casey54321]

I actually love the idea that most of the exterior is not so much functional as "just there to look good" it's very fitting for this competition in a way

[@djiehaddan]

I love how the support's house is -in my mind- way better than the main's 🤣. Just like how the storylines for supporting role in dramas are sometimes better than the main 👍👍👍

[@miraful]

I really enjoy the changes in this LP, I mean I loved the rags to riches LPs in the past but this feels like the 2.0 version of that, we are interacting with the world and sims expanding the boundaries of the LP making houses and playing from other perspectives, it makes me get more curious about other sims and I like it way more when Bigwallets meet them, it's not just about money and getting to the next generation anymore. You are doing a great job James 😉.

[@EffyGomes]

this series is so much fun. i find myself really involved in the feud between the families and i love that sydney has upgraded his home

[@muja_bunny]

I like to imagine Kev helped Sydney rebuild his house since Reginald is so invested in their rivalry and was starting to feel dejected that Sydney wasn't keeping up anymore. I like to think only Reginald cares about the rivalry and everyone is just indulging him lol

[@dia3654]

Very cute build, love Hilary's room!

[@yuushi2181]

I just love the idea of Sydney realizing reginald bought a new house and then immediatelly bulldozing his own to build a new one to match Reggie's

[@aaly.aaly.oxenfree]

Had no intention of buying that clutter kit, but this is the most compelling video I've seen to make me want to buy it. Just a (fantastic) builder decorating a family home with Batuu flooring for the exterior.

[@lifebooksandeverything]

Absolutely love Hillary's room! The Pastel Pop Kit may be the first kit that I actually buy

[@taylordavis5398]

It helps that Plumbella worked on it. :)

[@danitho]

I love how Sydney has become part of this Bigwallet Family Saga!

[@darth_jesweak]

I love this let's play so much, it's encouraged me to slow down with my gameplay, I usually just speed run generations

[@MissHummingbird]

The survey is a great idea for all the new simmers that will be coming on and wanting to know the packs/kits. As well, no surprise at all that everybody loves more plants hahaha. welcome to 2022! Aswell is that beautiful pop kit for kitchen tiles😍

[@ItsAlannaBanana]

I actually hate plants haha

[@MissHummingbird]

@@ItsAlannaBanana most do though.its good for the planet you shouldn't hate them🌱🌿

[@ItsAlannaBanana]

@@MissHummingbird In The Sims, I just find them to clutter stuff unneccessarily. I have no problem with them in real life. I agree, they are essential. :)

[@happy.hopper]

This home looks so lively with the new kit and all the cluster items it really feel like home that a family actually lives in. Please do a small renovation/adding cluster and new decoration for Reginald‘s too to add some fun and color into his house!

[@BrillianceoftheMoon]

Liking these builds within your Let's Play... it's nice to see more from those outside the immediate Bigwallet household.

[@JewelzPlay]

James this house is so amazing! I absolutely love Hillary's bedroom! It's a dream bedroom! You're so talented! I'm definitely downloading this home! I use your builds in my game!❤❤❤

[@cyvintyranea5329]

I've been really enjoying your builds lately. I like how you are customizing the world and even the unplayed family's house the other day. It's giving me inspiration to play some more 😁

[@agnescopperfield9677]

I didn't realize they needed it before, but I'm glad Sydney's family finally got an upgrade from their cramped little home. The makeup on Hillary's desk next to the computer makes me imagine she could be a makeup Simtuber, which makes her more fun of a character, imo. Addison may be a rich kid, but Hillary seems cool. It kinda reminds me of the "she's out of your league" trope, but with the guy being super mischievous. I'm excited to see how their relationship develops 😁

[@Lovlyb35]

Im so glad you gave them a home makeover and it definitely fits in well with the world

[@skyechimes658]

With your survey - I’m not surprised kits are rated highly, because the people who were iffy on them, probably didn’t buy them, and the survey said only to rate packs/kits you own. I’d be interested in the percentage of survey respondents who actually rated the kits when you discuss how high they rated. So for instance if only 10% of survey respondents actually rated blooming rooms kit, but they rated it a 9 vs if 50% of respondents actually rated paranormal stuff and gave it an 8.

[@ghostyowl]

I looooove love love Sydney and his family! Thank you for finally fixing up their home.

[@INeedYouToBreathe]

This house is soo cute. Great job James

[@opallise]

I never think to use those butterfly things on the walls. I need to use those more. Thinking about the windows; where I live a lot of houses seem to have different, cheaper, windows on the sides and back of the house. The sneak-out windows may be more realistic than people think! My parents have a corner fireplace and the chimney looks rectangular outside too. I love Hilary's room. I can totally see a group of girls having a slumber party in there. 😁

[@ItsAlannaBanana]

I use those all the time, too much probably lol

[@ILuvAyeAye]

Oh yeah, it’s super common to have different windows not facing the street.

[@nikkicat254]

It's so much fun watching each Sim family in the lets play get new homes, I like it best when you do play a bit with the Price family too, so we see how Sidney and Ava are doing too! I have downloaded this and rest of your builds, but now I want Reginald's and Kevin's new house too, lol! Also I too love the new Kits, the more clutter we can place in the house the more real it looks! And I love that thanks to Plumbella we now finally have a new carpet, and it's the best we've had, its in the Pastel Pop Kit, which Plumbella helped design! To me that's make it even more worth buying! I mean we have tons of wood and tile floors, as well as outdoor flooring, like a few of them actually look nearly the same, but with the carpet even the one's we've got look like someone painted the floor, because they don't have any textures to them, I mean the carpet in The Sims 2 had better texturing then what we have in TS4, I mean they looked like real carpet! It's nuts! Hopefully enough people will show how much they love getting better carpet, so we might actually get more carpet! I get tired of having to use rugs to make pretend it's carpet! I mean most houses I know of have carpet, most have carpet even on the stairs going upstairs, mine does! All wood floors seemed to mostly come from California, which is where everyone working on The Sims games are from! They can't seem to think of how things are outside California! And I am not knocking California, but we don't all live there, I mean what about people who live on the east cost and in the northern areas of the US, I mean if we are going to make everything by how houses and things are made just in the US, then maybe include more then the southwest area of the US!

[@liandralima8872]

Love the build, the house looks so alive and lived in, I wonder if any of the kitchen counters has room for prep.

[@Ang7.8]

❤ The series is a must-watch. This is a cool approach for a different take on a “lawyer’s” humble abode. Much of the time, we generally think “high earning litigator” but sometimes lawyers are meager public prosecutors and don’t have the fancy marble floors and show piece furniture. The hand-me-down bedding and vertical wood siding is just how it be sometimes. Just how it is

[@brittany0717]

So glad you did this. I mentioned in your last video how I felt Sidney needed to upgrade his house to continue the competition with Reginald. The house looks great by the way! Kuddos 🎉😊

[@deshansipan]

My honest opinion about kits is that they should always be collabs with modders/CC creators. It would be such a great way to "allow" console players to get some good CC. There's already so many CC packs, if EA could collab with these creators to make them an actual part of the game, it would be amazing. I feel like it's a cool opportunity they missed. Anyway, great build!

Looking forward to the survey results. Came close to skipping CAS and/or gameplay in some of the packs I own because I spend 75% of my time now playing sims 4 by building. 20% gameplay. And 5% in CAS. So the newer packs that I bought I don't even think I've played any of the gameplay or looked at the CAS. But I based some of that gameplay rating on Let's Play footage I've seen.

This is based on my comment from your last video, but - if you haven't already murdered the creepy teacher in a part to still to come out - could you renovate Rhys's new home to include like a torture dungeon (and then force creepy teacher to move in and be bitten by Greg ... and maybe give him a makeover with scars and raggety clothes thinking about it, if that's not too much trouble)? So you know, Angus and Nina think Rhys is just "our nice distant cousin Reginald Bigwallet", but actually it's his clone performing evil magical experiments about werewolfication on his progenitor's creepy high school teacher. There was a whole in thread discussion on appropriate punishment for the pervy teacher and some people really wanted to see him turn into the Bigwallet universe version of Nervous Subject. Because your fanbase are all really nice people, James. Really.
