I built a huge 64x64 Hollywood Mansion! (Part 2)

[@varpureiniaho9330]

If you live in this house, you are definitely going to have at least a maid or a butler or more likely both, they'll take care of those pesky half-wall dishes the sims leave everywhere.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

Was thinking the SAME thing lol

[@Lucklyist]

Wait? Can staff pick these up? If they are too high up, they are just stuck on there in my sims houses.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

@@Lucklyist If they get them up there I assume they can get them down.

[@EdenWeinberg]

Until they pick up all the plates and place the big dirty pile on the walls/random table and then are like “yo I’m done” 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@fiorellino]

I shrink down coals from Seasons and put them on the half walls. It works with yarn balls, I've seen Dr Gluon use them.

[@MichelleBurlingame]

The reason sims do the weird “use the sink on the other side of the house” thing is because they will always want to use the higher-rated object over the closer object. So, if you have a bladder 10 toilet and a hygiene 2 sink in one bathroom, but a hygiene 10 sink in the other room, they’ll use the bladder 10 toilet and the hygiene 10 sink. Same with unassigned beds, chairs, computers, etc. This is why, if you have a cheap bed but a hot tub outside, the sim will autonomously try to take a nap in the hot tub all of the time when they get tired.

[@MelCraft10]

Spoiled ai brats

[@Colorcrayons]

Huh. Well, that does explain a hell of a lot. I got so frustrated by the 3rd floor washing of dishes that I took the sink out with extreme prejudice. I'll tweak the quality of the items and see if that does indeed fix it. Thanks for the heads up.

[@starstruck_sims]

I have this problem even when using the same sinks/toilets throughout the house so I'm really confused 😅 although I've heard another reason could be how many grid tiles the object is away from the sim, regardless of it being on the same floor or not

[@starstruck_sims]

@Niphyra hahahaa these sims exist to torture us 😭

[@osky3301]

Exactly

[@campcautious]

Maybe you could add a butler's suite off the hallway to the rocket silo. Since a butler would be almost necessary. Also, I was totally expecting two shower heads in the master bathroom, since that space is SO big

[@Colorcrayons]

I like how he left a lot of sub basement room to grow. I typically throw my butler in a hole in the ground, and lift him out of the pit with a rope once a day. Gravity is how they get back down. "It puts the lotion on the skin when its told." All in all, a pretty wholesome experience.

[@mrlnxf8455]

Yes!

[@lauraapolinar0314]

For where the vault is, I feel like you should look up images for the James Bond villain lairs. Some of those old movies have really cool sets and great inspiration. Especially since they have to hide really expensive painting or art work or a rocket ship! One even has a big view of a shark tank.

[@jowiemowie9081]

Perhaps with some aquarium walls, filled with the bigger and pretty fish

[@lauraapolinar0314]

Just something that embodies that really rich Bond villain vibe, classy in a ridiculous way.

[@StandardGretchen]

Maybe some fancy room to display space collectables? I always struggle with making a decent display room for them. They always end up looking like creepy alien labs.

[@ScooterBond1970]

Add the lava pool from Chaz's underground vault 😊

[@rwolfheart6580]

All fancy Sims houses need a secret basement bowling alley, James!! You need to fix it immediately.

[@skyechimes658]

The big white vault stairwell from the house hallway would be an amazing place for a gallery wall of all the space and moon prints that you get from the telescope (or buy debug).

[@AJ-dg7rk]

I knew as soon as he started that this was a Max Power house, I mean who else would live here

[@ChestersonJack]

God, I miss Max Power

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

16 mins in, the kit being mentioned, is the Little Camper’s kit :) it’s actually really good!! Tons of cute stuff

[@foranzo1582]

16:29, to be precise!

[@sassles]

For the vault, I think alcoves would add a lot of interest. Kind of like an art depot or your sewer builds for Werewolves, but with shelves of collectibles, stored paintings, antique furniture pieces, maybe some very valuable stuff behind glass to mirror the wine room upstairs? Also some Stranger Things stuff (and BATUU) would work well in the area near the rocket ship, like a decontamination room to wash the alien debris off and a control room.

[@EmilyBlueJaye]

Looks great! Search "ring" in debug (tiny wedding ring object - make smaller even) and place a bunch on top of the half walls in the slots so they're "full" and sims can't place stuff there. Or any tiny "free" item (doesn't affect bills then.) I hate when my sims have dumped plates on shelves etc and the walls are down so I don't even know! Wish they weren't such slobs by nature. Definitely would get a butler in this build for my game. Can't wait to see the gameplay you do!

[@happysillygoofy]

He used to do this with sized down yarn, I actually learned this trick from James originally lol

[@svelli7473]

@@happysillygoofy DON'T LOOK AT THE YARN 👀

[@Colorcrayons]

This build definitely lends itself to the butler mod (which you should be using anyways as it fixes a lot of the ea bugs) which also allows live in maids and gardeners. Nothing says plutarch better than a captive slave community... er... I mean a rich and diverse, well paid and cared for service staff.

[@ashleymeyer9745]

James, we (we as in me) are going to need a terrain tutorial!!! They way you do it makes so much sense in my brain. I need some guidance!

[@mandymckk]

6:55 you made an underground rocket launchpad in the Super Sim series! (Which I’ve secretly been hoping will make a comeback next time there’s a lull between new packs 👀)

[@juliajolin7049]

I feel like the vault and the rocket ship should have separate entrances. Then you could decorate them differently and not worry about blending the styles. Maybe you could connect the garage to the rocket ship? It is just another car, right? ^_^ That hallway could have like a decontamination room/bathroom and some lab stuff too.

[@Ss12mn]

Can you please rebuild the other mansions in this area, this was super fun to watch! Would be so cool to see you use inspiration of other hollywood-style mansions for surrounding homes

[@TheXrayhope]

An easel would look great in the knitting room, maybe instead of the couch the easel could be in the middle of the room so the artist could look out at the pool and view for inspiration 🎨👩‍🎨

[@darcyskittens8591]

New challenge: build a house with rooms for every activity. Like activities can be put together. How big would the house have to be? And how much would it cost?

[@swatchsea]

Wow James, this is so impressive! I love building in the game, but am terrible at mansions and community lot. You’ve inspired me to give them another try, thanks! I hoped you would give a hit as to who will be the residents of the house, but it’s safe to say this would suit a certain super-impressive Sim in particular 😉

[@piciponda]

It must be a house to the Max, i mean, decor to the Max 🤭

[@socalcol1]

I love it! I'm assuming it's for Max Power to update him with all the new aspirations and skills. If it is, you might want to add a radio to your knitting room since knit while listening to music is one of the aspiration milestones. You have amazing vision.

[@Lux_Familiar]

For the underground hallway: with the speedup I couldnt tell if you did, but always remember to delete the floor above AND the ceiling below. And create rooms for that on the bottom as well as the top.

[@irishqa.]

WOW I absolutely love this build and can't wait for you to play in it! some ideas 1. It's seems not fair for that beautiful pink room to not have its own bathroom which could also be full pink 2. Move all machinery stuff to a separate room connected to the volt and rocket station, keeping garage clean and fancy
 3. Perhaps there’s possibility to extend that ladder in the office downstairs so then sims can get into a secret spying room/mancave 4. Another shower head in the master bathroom so that two sims can shower together? 5. A room for butler 6. A separate playroom for kids with all their toys, whilst keeping their bedrooms relaxing and maybe adding more beds for their friends/cousins sleepover

[@irishqa.]

And if there are pets it would be nice for them to have a designated space too! I think this house needs yoga mats and at least two treadmills + a mini bar in the gym? Also dividing massage tables from the gym into a separate calm space would make more sense p.s I don't even play sims but thank you for all your videos, they always keep me entertained!

[@Annifisk]

U should try to do a riches to rags challenge in this house. Give your sims the most amount of money, and see how many generations it takes to use it all 😊

[@ivy1130]

This build reminds me of your old let’s build series that you used to do in the sims 3 (and even later in the sims 4 earlier on). Would love to see you revisit those at some point! They were my fave vids to watch and give feedback on

[@sabrinam5606]

the house is so amazing, I can’t pick a favorite room! I always applaud your use of the terrain tool and foundations/platforms to make some sweet landscaping! (also now some of the comments have my hope up that super sim challenge is actually coming back 😍 a little sad it doesn’t mean the return of streamer James if it’s true, but can’t wait to find out regardless of what gameplay it’ll be!)

[@HT-pl8du]

I know! Even on the rare occasion I have a vision for the platforms and terrain, there is never a way I can figure out how to use them but James's builds are always so organic feeling

[@stefaniegray]

I like the idea of adding the science stuff to the basement on the way to the rocket ship. Lots of white, lots of glass. So you can look in to the lab(s) from the hallway. (I might remember wrong, but my head tells me Resident Evil... or I guess most movies have the sterile white, metal, glass look labs, right?)

[@ElfPunkk]

We'll need an update video of James placing sized down yarn balls on every half wall slot lol

[@amandaconnor4186]

STOP LOOKING AT MY YARN!!

[@jjmm689]

The toilet room in the master bath is truly the “Throne”

[@gabrielsouza8480]

I remember watching your Let's Play and loving your underground rocket silo idea! I started doing it in all my mansions. What I usually do is make a big formal garden with a hedge maze, and have the rocket opening tucked in the middle. That way, it's only "visible" from the house's upper floors, so the guests on the ground floor or in the garden can't see it, they'll only see the hedges.

[@MichelleWalterdoesArt]

Wow. i'm blown away. so cool. I wish they had King sized beds in the game, would look better in those huge bedrooms.

[@retjia7747]

I feel some aquariums are in order for this build, which is totally amazing!

[@ElizabellaJonesASMR]

That nighttime view with the outdoor lights and the "city" in the background... Chef's kiss.

[@lizziedawson4941]

For the rocket silo, you should fill the space with a control room, a viewing gallery and decontamination/equipment room. You should look at examples of Bond villain’s bases for inspiration such as the volcano base and maybe an aquarium. Glass walls in the basement onto water make great water ‘caustic’ reflection patterns irl

[@theA-ron]

44:00 I had the same issue with a Victorian inspired build I did with a 3 story library. Used book nook kit and dream home decorator module shelves and after a bit they kept disappearing certain ones. I just decided to leave them out and not keep replacing them.

[@rainbcwdream]

i'd love to see james make a build using the T.O.O.L. mod. it gives you insane power when building in the sims. yes, it takes some getting used to but it makes it so much easier to place for example plants in uneven terrain. i feel like that's a good place to start anyways

[@k37500ify]

So I guess it’s time to rewatch the parenthood and supersim series!

[@kristenroot2510]

Missed opportunity with your craft room! Can you add the furniture and storage shelves from Nifty Knitting for crafty vibes? Then I think it’ll feel more complete.

[@simscales]

[@blewbirdbre]

2 pools? Why not. Doubles the chances of the sims freezing to death while swimming in winter. lol

[@NikkiV.]

I’m going to download and use the vault hallway as like display for the “collections” with the Selvadorada cases, military medals, trophy’s etc.

[@Wee_Thought]

I would have liked if this was a longer series where we could spend more time in the building and design phase

[@andreamyob9458]

Get one of the ponds from debug and place it over the hole that the rocket comes out of. If you line it up right and make the hole just big enough to get the rocket out, it does work. The rocket shoots up through the pond. You can still even go fishing in the pond!

[@thinlizzie101]

Total Thunderbirds moment!!

[@AlorrinINK]

Aw yeah! This house is epic! I love it! Looking forward to downloading it the next time I play. It just looks to pleasing to the eye. And the way you used the levels and manipulated the terrain is so perfect. Love it.

34:40 I know this might be kinda late, but I think you have to draw the fence on the top-end of the stairs (which hides the fences anyway) so that you can erase all of the floor you don't need.

[@luvya8989]

I don’t remember what pack it is but there is an invisible fence that you can place down for the hallway/stairway to the rocket. If the fence is thing that’s glitching for you, I would recommend that because then once you delete the floor, you can’t see the fence anyways. Hope it works!

[@simscales]

You could also do like a workshop room with all the artsy stuff like the desk from nifty knitting, easels, flower arrangement table, woodworking table etc..

[@mpfromnl1986]

This looks awesome. For the vault walkway, i think you've done lava before but something like that could still be cool. I also wonder if the piranha pool still shows piranhas if you shrink it down. Could be like a cool feature, though i'm not sure if it places underground that well.
