I am furnishing my own apartment

[@ozzman123]

You should definitely put a drink tray or coffee pot on the small kitchenette downstairs for her clients to use

[@leahtar]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@idiealot3203]

Yes, was thinking a Coffee/Tea bar would be great there.

[@M0rgan-C]

plus a little trash can!

[@HannahVickers]

Yes I saw that and immediately thought coffee station!

[@karliux4e]

A coffee bar is suit for that space.

[@rwolfheart6580]

I feel like Breanne definitely needs a proper desk in the studio space, for editing photos and having meetings and such.

[@MirandaTess]

Yeah like a professional office area that's similar to the entryway area. That would be really nice for her.

[@remim3259]

I wish we could actually make custom apartment and download it into gallery. Like choose an option to class it as an apartment, and then there would be an option to select all the rooms that are part of the individual apartment. This way also completely custom buildings are possible.

[@brilligbroilledbooks]

Aka give us the sims 2 apartment tools 😭

[@zomgrocks1]

You predicted the future 😊

[@wajihawajih14]

For outdoor you can have an outdoor shoot area which can be for outdoor setting shoots like for maternity shoots, many fashion shoots as well. (I'm a photographer who love outdoor shoots)

[@suan333]

Uuuh i love this idea!!

[@Roboarrow]

Yeah and you could put like a graffiti wall for street art shoots.

[@lutilda]

Love this! Maybe use one of the walls to make a "flower wall" with the square wall decor piece covered in 3d flowers? Or the succulent one!

[@karliux4e]

Same, I am super outdoorsy style photography. A nice bench looking to the water and an arch, could look nice.

[@peter08xxx]

And a catwalk area on foundation too 😎

[@shannonstacey1391]

Should've made Breanne's bedroom on the opposite side of the building. Those views of the ocean are incredible.

[@annatzipora6857]

I think the city views are super sweet too! Maybe flip the bedroom so it’s upstairs? I feel like it makes a bit more sense and the views would be worth the trade off in space

[@shannonstacey1391]

@@annatzipora6857 Yeah, I think instead of making the upper floor a massive closet it would be an amazing bedroom with unreal views.

“You like colors” Yes James, I appreciate the concept of colors

I KNEW it!! I got you!

[@endersquid1132]

Wardrobe attic is such a vibe, imagine having so many clothes that you dedicate the entire upper floor of your house to them

[@bellab6794]

a dream tbh 😍

[@The_Witch_King1]

In a photo studio there are zero windows in the workspace, and if there are windows they are covered with thick, black curtains. You want controlled lighting in the space ☺️

[@JamesTurnerYT]

Yeah I actually do that in the next LP video

[@mckrey]

This build is super cozy somehow while still being industrial. You did a great job, James. I would love to live here!

[@ciellamichaelis4094]

For the "storage unit", you could use half walls, so it's the same height as the debug one, build a floor or flat roof on the second floor above it and lower it down to line up with the half walls. I've seen another channel do that for oddly shaped roofs and the like.

[@Laurastar2009]

I tried that recently and the game wouldn't let me lower the floor above. Not sure what went wrong because I've definetly seen others do that before. I wish they'd allow diffferent sized walls for separate buildings.

[@leonie2399]

You can make the little kitchenette in the studio a coffee corner :)

[@katmaresparkles9578]

The problem with the container height was because the ground floor is set on tall height. If you built it on the next level up that is on the short height it would work better. And have the steel girders and columns under it supporting it. And have a staircase going up to the container entrance.

[@freyasmith9483]

This!!!

[@alessandrocalossi8645]

This is a very good idea

[@EmilyBlueJaye]

Great idea! Since it's not attached you could also just drag it down to ground level depending on the look you wanted.

[@hoanglannguyen7474]

@@EmilyBlueJaye Only thing I found doing that to a family crypt was that it's not visible on the first floor or any other floor below the one it was originally placed on. So it doesn't work for everything gameplay wise :/

[@SineN0mine3]

Could also use half walls and place the existing container on top to work as the roof/ceiling. I like the idea of having it raised on columns though.

[@KirSim92]

You should go all out with the outdoors and make it like an outdoor shooting space in case you want to take pictures outside. Make sure there are lots of flowers and maybe you can have a wedding arch so sims can get married there and you can take their engagement/wedding photos right by the water!

[@flamingyan]

Bridal pics for Addison and Hillary! Or even just family photos when their baby is an infant!

[@KirSim92]

@@flamingyan Infant portrait area… so cute… Breanne is the official Bigwallet family photographer lol

Incredible build! Love the new lobby area. Breanne's home is really coming together. 🥰

[@datene6957]

Going back to the bedroom after a late night snack and seeing someone’s silhouette moving at the other end of the corridor, only to later realize that that is the mirror you put there is going to be such an adventure each time! 😌

[@suan333]

Imagine having to climb up stairs every morning just to get dressed. Breanne is girl boss indeed 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: thank god James put a wall and a door to the apartment because i was imagine future James yelling strangers to gtfo of his house 😌 PS: i love everything on this building because industrial is what i love the most

[@kristaceresa4699]

That mirror at the end of the hallway, I would absolutely walk right into that thinking it was an archway! Love the build. The lobby is sweet!

[@ronathebear]

James! I love your black-and-white and neutral coloured builds. You shouldn’t force yourself to add colour if you don’t want to 🥰 Make it the style YOU want - it looks the most authentic and aesthetic in my opinion.

[@echung168]

Same, i enjoy the minimal designs and colors too!

[@olivemartini0011]

James' little "wait what" when he basically unlocked the Matrix with the frame color / nail color was so spot on

[@giggiwidit5638]

With regards to the outside space around the studio... Are there any items (maybe debug ?) that are kind of big cylinders full of plants ??? you know ... something a little industrial, but green and lush ... and maybe one or two parked cars ? (the Clients). I just feel that this space needs a little greening up. Kind of like a little oasis of calm, in the big stressful city, maybe even with a little public seating ? bird feeders ? wildlife type stuff ? I just feel that this outside space could be made so green and beautiful, and welcoming ... 🌹🥀🌺🌻🌷🌱🌳🌴🌵🌾🌿☘🍁🍂🍃😍😍😍

[@foranzo1582]

The roofing was my favourite part!! So creative, I've never done that before

[@sarahcole2904]

It’s beautiful 😍 xx I’m glad Breanne got her tub in that corner of her bathroom- I was definitely thinking if I had that apartment I’d want a bath there- even with the full window! Just enjoy life 😮 😂

[@selticid]

I am BEGGING to get to know Vashti more! She seems like she could be a great friend or romantic interest for Breanne.

[@echung168]

probably the reason why Vashti doesn't come home is cause there's nothing to do and nothing to place stuff on XD

[@jessieperson]

This is really cool! It's really fun to see you genuinely enjoy customizing the space for Breanne and her clients, like the lobby space and the walk-in wardrobe at the top. I can't wait to see the updated space in the let's play!

[@BM-dg4rk]

you could put a custom plant box outside the bathroom window so that you get privacy but keep that epic big window and bath!

thats a really nice thumbnail

Build video!! Love the lobby omg definitely gonna download this build. Love how much James has been using different colors lately!!

[@lizzymandile2022]

Absolutely obsessed with this. Specifically the wardrobe to be and lobby.

[@mattyguitar22]

The big wardrobe room on the top floor should be the Sims 2 CAS room! Bricks, big mirror, window etc and lots of clothes racks to choose from

[@littlemushroomelfyyy_]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but the reason why some photos have different frame styles is actually because of the size of the picture when you take it! The bigger ones have fancier frames, whereas the smaller ones have the basic frame

[@riarose4292]

Im loving all the industrial builds lately 😍

[@purpledragonfly4]

Looking amazing! Turn the outside into a nice green space! Can take photos outside when it's warmer weather. Lots of trees, plants, colour.

[@kellyro77]

I think the bedrooms are missing a dresser or something. :) And maybe down in the photo studio you could put up a shoji screen/room divider by the "changing" area/wardrobe. I always love your builds.

[@stephaniezimmerman8669]

Outside could have a plant based outdoor photoshoot area with plants in pots to move around for shoots. Also a more private area and a gathering type spot for hosting parties.

[@NoDecaf7]

Really loving the attention to detail in this build. Can't wait to see how it evolves over time!

[@mond5601]

I am always amazed how easy you come up with such cool ideas. The lobby looks amazing!

[@lutilda]

As you update the studio area: it'd be cool to see the kitchenette with an espresso machine and adding in a changing room for her clients. 😊

[@brittany0717]

Great Build! I am definitely downloading. You should put some debug cars out in the parking lot to make it look like she has patrons visiting the studio.

[@planettv]

Suggestions: A. Move the white laptop, since it's locked for just Breanne, to one of the island counters in the kitchen. Either temporarily until she can afford a desk for her room, or as a little kitchen desk space. B. Get her a desk for her room and move the white laptop to the desk. C. Take the area you were going to use for a wardrobe area, and make it an office with a desk, the white laptop and whatever else works in the room. If the desk for streaming, the one from Get Famous, works in design of the space, then maybe you can pretend the Breanne is doing vlogs on gadget reviews for the latest Photography tech or beauty stuff in her spare time.

[@JMLRH]

Frame style depends on if its taken as a large, medium or small photo when u used the camera i believe.

[@jazzvega3346]

An outside photoshoot area would be perfect! Maybe have a landscaped walk up to the front doors but beyond that have a really tall “fenced in” studio space, where you could potentially use the green screen and then set up smaller garden area for other shoot ideas like weddings etc.

[@jastewgood]

I really love all the story building around Breanne. She's so cool 😎

[@starcats16]

I'm sitting here waiting for James to notice there isn't a kitchen sink. 😳

[@JamesTurnerYT]

Haha I fix that in the next let’s play part

[@seriliaykilel]

I'm freaking loving this lets play and corresponding builds. So fun!

[@ewgrosshaley]

storage unit can be on a platform and i believe it can be on the second floor to get smaller walls and then lower it to the ground or right above

[@jwill3783]

For the exterior, I think that front wall without windows would be a good place to do a “sunroom” executive office for Breanne. Like a modern addition with big windows everywhere and a imposing desk with maybe some mannequins (basically a tie-in for the celebrity perks line on the left side, like she’s building her own lifestyle/fashion brand). Big bookcases to pretend they hold her past files of her photoshoots and one of the chaise lounge chairs. Free up some room in the studio and give the outside a bit more interest

[@loverrlee]

I did not know that about the picture frames either! Thanks for discovering that!

[@merri_0153]

I absolutely love this build, it looks so good now. Really made the space Breanne’s creative space. I think you should have an area outside where you have grass and plants and things for an outdoor shoot. Maybe use warehouse or the harbour as a dramatic backdrop.

[@paulacaridad6919]

i was thinking that for the exterior part, you can make some other backgrounds for the photos! like outdoors with different styles and things like that. Also for the interior studio you can make like a retro café or something so the pics can be more realistic maybe. I am loving this series so much!!! thank you for this amazing content 😍😍😍

[@tanadams]

To make your outdoor "storage" small wall height, build it on the top floor and drag it downwards. Technically it makes it part of the upper floor so during gameplay you need to be on the upper floor to use it, but it works. I do it all the time for garden buildings.

[@heatherbolton8342]

That lobby is phenomenal looking!

[@sovandeprins2663]

looove this renovation! it feels so brienne too, excited to see her exist in it and build it up c: very inspiring!

[@fishsticks2965]

You could build the container from the second level since the wall height is shorter, and bring it down closer to the ground - maybe debug items or something like that would work for a foundation underneath so it doesn't float

[@Miss_Meryan]

I love the black and white style with the feature walls and pops of colour, feels contemporary and edgy.

[@KMA12787]

It’s excellent really love all detail! Love all your work as always!

[@twinpinsbakery2110]

Kitchenette could have a tea Brewer to change peoples moods for photo shoots. Brianne's upstairs loft could be a vibey office with reading nook. Outside of the warehouse she can have the selling wall and have a live art gallery to sell pictures on the street.

[@Nattehine]

James, you could make the container the short wall height! Pick up the room, move it to the second floor, move it down with the foundation tool and now you have a short wall on the first floor!

[@Stephy-653]

the frame differences is due to the size of the picture was when you took it, so the large photos have different frames to the small and medium frames

[@ruthmccauley2562]

I think a coffe pot in the studio would be great on the counter, maybe some clutter cups next to it.

[@RayBMore.]

I love this build and I love how you tied everything together. Can't wait to see how you decorate the rest of the warehouse.

[@ainoruoste9338]

Very cool renovation! I love the lobby idea. Thanks for the roofing advise as well.

[@echung168]

I would hate to be the mailman delivering to this house/business. LOL James during gameplay is going to be like "mailman can't reach the mailbox, what do you mean? It's right here" every time XDDD

[@jenniferwalker6112]

For outside, set up areas for photo shoots. Sports, garden, seasonal, the container outside can hold all of the extra props

[@starilee3811]

The lobby is so CUTE. What a great idea

[@KingsNeverDie100]

Breanne feels like the type of person who would adopt one or more at-risk teens, or open her home to homeless teens, offer them safety, and also offer creative ways (photography, painting, acting, etc.) to express their feelings, explore their creativity, and give them opportunities for the future

[@Ame25596]

Amazing renovation! I absolutely love the more industrial design. For the outside, I think it'd be interesting to have some photo sets as well, like you oftentimes will see photoshoots done next to beautiful graffiti work on brick walls and maybe you can find an angle to make use of the river/lake next to the house, like a bit of a park vibe. Just thinking for outdoor inspired shoots, like summer waterballoons and kid's pool and such. Maybe a BBQ.

[@jburd2436]

That lobby is 🔥. I love the neon and pink with the black!

[@soph9588]

Coffee and tea machines in the studio, on the counters!

[@GraceSimnitt]

ooo, OUTSIDE PHOTO SET! It might be cool to create a set for outside not using a screen of any kind. Maybe fenced in so she can leave equipment out there and have it be locked behind a gate.

[@rolandbaldwin]

I use the decorative glass screens from Eco Lifestyle to cover bigger windows. You still have light coming through but it gives the illusion of privacy with a frosted window effect.

[@emanazouz294]

I recently discovered when you're taking a pic with a camera/photo studio, u can use your mouse to click on the up arrow and hold "w" to slowly pan up, because if you click the arrow it jumps/skips up and that means you cannot take a picture where you want exactly (unless you hold down the keyboard button to pan slowly)... you can click on the arrows to jump to where you want and then pan to save time. You can hover over any of the arrows (in camera mod) to show the keyboard button to the corresponding panning direction and you can hold down the key board button to pan in the corresponding direction of the arrow

[@veronicaknoll8518]

You could add a glass door fridge as a drinks fridge and a coffee machine. I think that would be kind of realistic.

[@conradmoolman1730]

the whole build and everything is inspiring

[@humankait]

You can change the wall height of the storage since it’s not connected to the original cluster / building

[@Ramidra]

Maybe small city/street type garden outside would be cool. To sip coffee, have meetings and even take some shots.

[@darrylwhitefeather207]

Can't believe what you did to that place! Looks so good!

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

Your lets play makes me actually want to do this career!!!! And i love love love the reception area!

[@Laurastar2009]

The big blank wall on the outside near the entrance (that's got the set on the inside) would be a great place for a mural. Either a City Living paintable one or one of the wall art murals. You can get CC version of the city living paintable mural that act like regular wall art (so you don't need to paint them and they don't fade).

[@shutterbug8860]

The stairs will fit better if you move the top forward 1 square, the bottom would then be flush with the wall and create more space behind the counter.

[@meeowys]

It looks amazing! Love the colours used and the lights. For the outside decor maybe some urban garden vibes.

[@graceraskopf6910]

outside you could make a closed in garden with tall fences and some string lights facing out to the water!

In the parking lot, maybe you could build some extra sets, make them look like trailors/temporary buildings? If the wall height is am issue you could always use platforms

[@MythologyGirl1990]

That lobby is amazing! 👏

[@apatosaurusanna]

Idea for upstairs: make fake "beams" using the trim pieces. It would work with the industrial vibe and give you a way to hang ceiling lights.

[@jenniferwalker6112]

Just a thought! Get the photos from Addison apartment from when Lady took them. Have Brianna have them on her photo wall as a when it all began Also add like a coffee or drink thing. You could just put a coffee shop down the street then have an employee that goes for coffee only if a mod was like that Loved the build

[@SignificantUnicorn]

Peacemaker made an expanded Moschino windows pack, adding a closed short window and more sizes. I just discovered it yesterday and was so happy, I used them for my industrial themed highschool.

[@acebildz1253]

Are you sure it was Peacemaker? I thought it was Illogical Sims. He made the set I have. It's awesome, and includes a sliding door that actually matches the height of the windows. The single tile windows are my favorites!

is gorgeous James! 🥰🥰🤗🤗I love it

[@babybathduck]

Ravasheen has a lovely functional bar cart that looks very similar to the decorative one you used

[@Kristenhas3cats]

Oh wow, James did some building stuff that I would've never thought of. That roof thing is amazing

[@hiltaro12]

Can you bring a second floor room down to ground level to make the storage container?

[@thevalidsimmer]

The frames being different is because of the size of the photo, medium size photos have a more wood-like frame, whereas small and large photos have more of a plastic-like frame

[@kater9982]

If you do want to put in a shipping container for storage you can build it on the second floor and drag it down to the first floor... just a thought

[@geudaega]

I think you can also add some sort of "studio" outside for like outdoor photoshoot, like fake garden or something 😆

[@SpatialHeather]

i think the big green roof would have actually been built going the other way, to divert rain/snow away from the tower area. if you turned it then the living room has a nice vaulted ceiling that i think would really elevate that space. food for thought!

[@sophialavreniouk6110]

Just a fun lil tidbit of info. You should make the stairs gold/yellow because (nz) code states that the lip of the stair needs to be in contrast to the stair for accessibility reasons (like people with low vision) It also makes the stairs a neat feature that pops

[@sophialavreniouk6110]
