I fixed this house in 2023

Take the survey: docs.google.co...
I built this house 8 years ago, since then, there are many new tools and features in The Sims 4 that would make a lot of this work better, so let's update it!

I can't believe James would destroy the sims supply's vision like that.

It's his build and he just made it better

Honestly when it comes to chandeliers, I wish they would make them dragable height like columns. Just lower them to where you want. It'd be so much nicer and easier getting nice appearances.

[@loyael]

[@FrogAtPond]

agreed but that would just make too much sense. we can't expect ea to implement game features that make sense 😅

[@kaylahall1219]

Even a section with like lower chain or cords too. 🤔

[@psychoPilgrim36]

Thats a genius idea

[@annoar9776]

yees!

[@CreoTan]

“This is TOO easy…did it break something else?” The biggest sims 4 mood honesrly

[@lifebooksandeverything]

James being able to build complex builds before the new features ever existed, and then there is me, who can't even build mildly interesting builds WITH all the new tools😂

[@DoveJS]

You can practice making the builds look interesting without the new features first because it's often the fundamentals that do the trick. Or casually dab a few features in as you go, play around with it, figure out how stuff works. I recommend looking up some of his videos on this channel, and on other simmer's channels, for tips on building and terrain editing. The main thing is learning ways to roof with multiple pieces to get a cohesive look plus playing around with different shapes for buildings and rooms. Also learning what kind of layouts work well for your goals. You can also study house plans and practice using photos of houses/buildings as inspiration, they do that too, but don't get too discouraged. James has been building Sim houses for longer than the Sims 4 has existed. Most simmers who have a lot of build videos were building regularly for years even if Sims 4 was their first version of the Sims so they've had a ton of practice. It's literally just gaining experience over time! You could absolutely build something you'll be proud of one day if you build as often as you're comfortable with. None of these simmers started out where they are right now; they all began more or less where you did.😊

[@lifebooksandeverything]

Saame But to be fair, James has been a sims builder forever We gotta practice :P

[@anyatheile]

DEFINITELY agree with what j.stanley said and would also like to tack on the youtuber Sahm and Bean! She has a whole bunch of videos breaking down different building styles as well as basics for building and landscaping that I've found really really useful!!

[@amandaconnor5874]

I love that you put clutter on that work table to prevent sims from eating there, when sims will literally put a plate in a laptop and eat😂

[@bunnyellabell]

crazy how sims can do that but they can't use a counter to cook if you have an item on the edge of it lol

crazy how time goes by so fast i remember watching him build it years ago as a teen 😭

@@effyapples6219this was 8 YEARS ago? holy shit 😅 I know I’ve been watching for a long time now and I remember this build and thinking that using this glass roof was such a creative idea, but it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. I was just an 18 year old lil baby. And James was still so young! Crazy how time flies sometimes. You could’ve told me this was 3-4 years ago lol

[@effyapples6219]

@@LisaFrisstDich ikr!!!! It’s so odd to think of the other KZbin content that has ebbed and flowed into and out of my life since then. The simmers have been the only constant, and I am forever grateful 🥹

[@NoDecaf7]

I'm so glad to see that you went back to this house to update it! I've got a lot of builds in my legacy save that have these old building techniques but I am far too intimidated to go back and fix them 😅

[@AlexParkYT]

To be honest the amount you achieved that wasn't even supposed to be possible is an art form.

[@mornasev]

The uneven windows in the sunken living room drive me nutty. LOLOL

[@fairyoddgamer]

Yes yes yes, was looking to see if someone else noticed 😂 its still bugging me, and if I'm not mistaken the windows don't even match those in the dining room?

[@mornasev]

@@fairyoddgamer I think they're the same windows, but there's lights on them in the sitting room maybe? They kind of look like the lights on the half wall.

[@RayyRayyRAWr]

Now that you’ve updated it, could you do another reno on this house using all of the packs 👀 for science 😂

[@vertaveli3854]

I love how confused James is at 11:50 when the game works as it should and doesn't bug out or break anything. So funny 😂😭

[@Nastastrophe]

I get the challenge of only using the two packs, but i feel like part of the point of doing it years later is that now you have access to resources (other packs) that can really test your creativity. Atleast thats how i see it. It would have been so cool to see what he could do with all the packs on.

[@aurora5481]

These BG + one pack builds are bread and butter for people who don't have a lot of packs, especially given that the Gallery doesn't allow you to filter out packs. Just fixing the old builds without adding new packs means that they're still functional, and you can add items from packs you do own if you want to, rather than vice versa where every house with a fake built-in shower showing up as needing a $40 expansion when an alternative without the University shower exists and works.

[@kiritoxyronie2841]

Damn..., I remember in the old days how many tricks I have to learn just to build an optimal and beautiful house.. And seeing this, I feel nostalgic about my houses in my previous laptop (Sadly got corrupted)... I love the old foundation trick btw xD..

I REALLY want to know what is the story behind JERRY 😂❤ Jerry is mentioned everywhere on the old videos as well but I haven't come across the first video where it all came together 😂

[@feckaroundandfindout]

Jerry is a Dr. Gluon meme, from what I understand, Dr. Gluon puts a specific photo of someone he named Jerry into all of his builds, since James and Gluon are pretty good friends, its become a meme here as well. Now, why Dr. Gluon does it, Im not sure haha

[@AlexaFaie]

@@feckaroundandfindout Because Jerry is the Dear Leader. All must follow him. Gluon has to spread the missive of the cult he joined somehow.

[@feckaroundandfindout]

@@AlexaFaie I mean I thought Jim Pickens (Call me Kevin ) was the dear leader in the sims verse, but, Jerry is acceptable as well hava

I love that double desk!!! Great idea!

[@Klondike877]

Looks great! But the carpet though, replace it with black wood floor, that will make it blend with the stairs and more chic.

[@AmiBunny1]

I honestly would not mind a series where you refurbish houses using only one pack, cuz I don't have every single pack and I'd love to download more full versions of your builds 🤣 It also sounds like a cool challenge, though!

[@vnsssls]

I enjoy seeing your creativity as you revamp previous builds. I also like the pack limitation to keep close to original build as possible.

[@natasjaolsen637]

I was jumping out of my skin the whole time, cause you never fixed the lights on the windows in the sunken room 😬😬😬

[@lolabugge]

lol I’m only half way through the video and came to the comments to see if he deleted those lights. I’m glad you said something so I don’t have to spend the next half thinking about it!

[@alwaysjale]

I like the makeshift desk for a study area

[@ellag.7431]

I love these kind of videos, I'd love to see some more dramatic transformations with all the packs!

[@ShannonRose99]

It turned out great! I don’t think the pond will function, the sign needs to be placed in deep enough water for it to work and you need to stock the pond or get the prestock sign from debug

[@BigBadWolframio]

Aaah, I remember this build! I loved how imaginative you were with the tools you had back then! I can't believe how fast fime flies! :')

[@maryzinhaah]

I wouldn't mind that becoming a series... absolutely loved this video 😊

[@ozzybeardelgado6200]

The way I rated some of the packs surprised myself. I thought I’d rate certain ones higher and others lower, but when it came down to it, my “favorite pack” actually isn’t even my favorite according to my ratings 😂

[@sgloomwalkers3525]

I never saw the original being build but I believe this revamp really does it justice!

I love these kinds of videos !! Please do more, I used your first build for oasis springs in sims 4 when I got the game !! A lot of memories for my sims. I would also love to see you use all the packs and see what you come up with for this build too

[@DoveJS]

Yes! I like that he decided to redo this first with Base game and Get Together but I'd also love to see a second version of this build with all of the packs, especially the greenhouse kit. And I know Deli did a revision of his very first TheSimSupply build a while ago but I also want to see James redo it with everything that we have now (or even just base game if that's his inclination but we have so many packs that would be perfect for those desert vibes.)

[@kaylapayne1427]

You were so ahead of your time James. Beautiful update!

[@abbosimmo]

Pack limitations considered, that greenhouse came out stunning

[@jle293]

10:41 The Kath and Kim reference got me good. 😂

Tip: If you enable the Better BuildBuy Deletion Protection, none of the things would get deleted when you tried to do the greenhouse walls. (Another tip: When you have BBB you should always turn on/off Moveobjects through the BBB filters)

[@blancaluna572]

The fact that you barely had to change anything after the update shows how great of a builder you are, the house ended up looking awesome

James attacking The Sim Supply's build is so disheartening, haha. Poor Sim Supply, wherever he ended up!

I was so focused on the lights on the windows in the sitting area, I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I so hoped you would notice the lights, but you didn't till the end. You deleted the ones on the half wall, but not the ones on the windows. They're even different heights. It drives me crazy xD

Have you considered doing a rags to riches doomsday shelter type of challenge gameplay, maybe with paranoid sim trait and needing to stay off the grid building top house and then shelter below maybe with stock of canned food and some sustainable energy off the grid for emergency crisis like power and water generator in downstairs home part?

[@lindsaypeets6104]

[@paiget6200]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you just put the greenhouse on a platform just one step higher, you can change the wall height without affecting the rest of the build

[@JamesTurnerYT]

It would have to be a level higher, and then you can drag it down to ground level. But it means to go inside or see the greenhouse you’d have to be viewing the second floor of the house
