I built a ridiculously thin house in The Sims 4

[@forkyplaysthesims]

I love that there is a whole community of people who sometimes look at a house and go “i’ll build that in sims”

[@slwrabbits]

when I actually go outside, I often find myself saying, "hey, I saw that in the sims! I could totally go build that!"

[@janaschr360]

Yes! I do that all the time 😍

​@@slwrabbitsRight? It's so fun. There is a weirdly square house near me that I want to build in the Sims so bad.

I feel like people who live in beige houses have a room where they hide all of the color and they go in there when they think no one is watching.

[@Axelsrose]

I wish, but no, some of them legit have just boring ass houses. Its such an issue their kids don't actually understand colour very well.

Hi James! I just wanted to say that you were my top creator this year and that I was in your top 0.5% of fans. I’ve unfortunately been going through a really long illness (a bit longer than 7 months and still going) and your videos were always there to help me through the tough days so thank you so much for making my year a little better with your content 🫶🏻☺️

[@JamesTurnerYT]

I'm sorry to hear that and hope you can get some answers and start feeling better soon! Thank you so much for your support on the channel 😊

I'm in the same boat, suffering from depression and had yet another difficult year, but been watching so much James' content I ended up also in his top fans 😄 I hope better days and months ahead for you!

I grew up in the Bay Area and these plants are totally the vibe. They love landscaping with succulents cause they require less water and loads of homes like the water saving environmentally friendly landscaping. Lots of mulch and succulents. This house totally fits the expensive Silicon Valley vibe.

Build idea: attempting to build something from Disney Dreamlight Valley in the Sims 4.

[@ThatGirl1721]

These types of build videos are my favorite. Watching Semaj’s process is really interesting and his humor makes it extra entertaining. And I learn a couple things for my own builds. Takes me back to when I used to watch Sims Supply creating builds in Sims 3 . Thank you for continuing to produce great content, James!

[@_itsmissing]

type of house that gives off real "high-ranking cartel member" vibes

I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate Simmers building real life houses and actually loving them!!

[@debradavis3935]

Wow, this is definitely one of the weirdest builds you’ve ever done James! I love your obsession with unusual architecture and it makes the videos so much more interesting to watch! 40 x 20 lots are not really good for much except townhouses and commercial building lots so why not build a weird house…

[@nadiaaleo4733]

[@Rosebud_official]

I love it and I hate it all at the same time. There’s something really cold and almost fancy jail vibes about this house but at the same time very vibey and cool layout. Also I havent spent a lot of time in San Fran but I know for sure in Southern California it’s common to have deserty plants too.

[@rebecca1_01]

For some reason my cat loves DrGluon and James Turner streams. Everytime James posts a video or Gluon streams on Twitch, my cat comes running and lays down beside me and falls asleep. Please never stop streaming James. You’re a comfort to my kitty. 😁😸

I really love those built after real life houses videos but I would also really enjoy it if we could get a photo of the house at the start (or end) of the video😊

[@skyechimes658]

If you really want a door to the toilet from the bathroom, you could swap the tub and sink placement, and put the sink to one side next to the door instead of centered.

[@amethystdawn]

I was thinking the same!

[@honeymelon_b]

this was driving me crazy idk why he didn’t do that lol

[@JamesTurnerYT]

@@honeymelon_b The tub looks so good next to the curved wall is the reason why I left it there. The real house also has the toilet room totally seperate. Granted, in the real version, the toilet room has a sink in it too.

[@random0bsessions]

i was thinking the same thing, the idea of having to use the toilet, then use your unwashed hands to open 2 different doors to get to a sink? nightmare.

[@viruslilypad]

Curved walls? More like Cursed Walls lol

[@slwrabbits]

I don't even build with diagonal walls, not after the game pretended doors on diagonal walls didn't exist. (Can't remember if it was Sims 1 or 2.)

[@eleanorhughes597]

25:30 although the Bay Area may seem very wet being coastal with constant fog, etc. California as a whole is actually very dry and in a near-constant state of drought, so many people do opt to have succulent gardens since they don't need much water. Having a green lawn that needs regular watering is considered a huge waste of water, so the more native succulents, grasses and bushes, the better!

[@tracymayo7954]

Definitely different... Looks like a Do Not Disturb Door knob sign!!

[@teacherchristinamtn4741]

Love seeing more build videos! I watched so many builds before ever watching the Bigwallets.

[@rinaberd]

There are a surprising number of succulents in the bay area. (Granted they are more adapted to sucking up the excess humidity from the coastal fog.)

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

The Bay Area actually has a lot of those types of succulents, especially on the other side of the mountains from the sea. Right on here ocean some areas get really misty but otherwise the Bay Area is temperate but fairly dry-ish. Dry enough for most succulents.

Sad beige house with a sad beige toddler room i love it

[@2KXMKR]

Reminds me of my narrowboat house from back in the day. I've always wanted to live on a narrowboat, so my younger self built a narrowhouse. A narrowboat is only 6'10" wide externally and can be anything from 25' to 70' long. I had a small patio to the rear to represent the rear deck where the boat is driven and a tiny yard to the front to represent the small bow deck where gas bottles for the cooker are usually stored. The internal living space was the average Sim height in width, just three tiles. That would be a double bed with just enough space to walk along one side. From the rear it was; (Outside) Dining area > [Kitchen w/ breakfast bar > Lounge w/ sofa bed]- Open plan > Hallway > [Bathroom > Bedroom]- To one side, off hallway > (Outside) Seating area. What you have at 6:06 could pass for a widebeam narrowboat. They're 12-14' wide externally, which is also around the typical width of your standard UK terrace house. So although odd-looking in The Sims, this is just a normal living space for most people in the UK, just half of it is on the first floor.

[@rebeccamaracle2878]

[@MushMJ]

My first house I brought when I was in my mid twenties was SUPER thin but tall. On a very very busy street in a city in the uk. It was a kitchen on the ground floor with a very thin walled in staircase at the side the next floor up was my living room then next was two bedrooms and the top floor was a huge bathroom and storage space. I also had a basement which looked haunted as heck, that I turned in to a bar/ cozy space that was used a lot as a social space in my neighbour. This time of my life was so much fun, I learnt a lot renovating that place.

[@jasminekh9340]

This beige house is literally my dream house

[@scotjess3]

All this beige... I know some ppl love it. It feels a bit sickly to me... Each to their own 🤷‍♀️ Fun house to make in the sims though. Might renovate it & de-beige it 😉

[@roguesmile1491]

I believe we have the same rules about fencing in your pool in the US. My understanding is that this is for your protection as it protects children(and hopefully drunk people) and if someone breaks into your yard and hurts themselves you provably had protection in place that they circumvented.

There were so many crazy choices in this build. Cutting out the roof and putting a concrete couch under it? Making the toilet a separate room, and making the door go out into the hallway?? The pool room being a less functional kitchen and not a place to change and rinse off? Still going to like it though because its a James build 😂
