A few people asking about the punching bag disappearing at the end. I forgot to mention we decided to remove it as it didn’t totally mesh with the vibe of the Moonwood Collective, who are much more peace loving.
Well, the telescope bit I forgot haha. It was a long time between revisions (note the hair change) and it slipped my mind! Luckily that’s easy enough to add in yourself :)
You were literally the sim supply and now you're supplying for The Sims. I love how you've come full circle. This is different than the snowy escape pack. This was totally your own and it's wonderful
If he changes his name again to something like that, imagine how long winded his intro will become. “SupplyingForSims, formerlyknownasJamesTurnerformerlyknownasTheSimsSupply”
@@VenomDragon4769 whenever you buy this werewolf game pack, these buildings will automatically come with the pack, like all the other premade lots in all the other packs usually made by EA
@@livelongandprospermary8796 no no I already have the pack. . .that's besides the point...I'm asking what's his gallery name I'm on PS4 and it's hard to figure out which one is the real one
@@VenomDragon4769 I think he’s JamesTurnerYT, but some of his builds are still on his old account (I don’t know the actual name, but his old one with Sim Supply in the name).
i feel like a common theme with these builds is James being really careful not too use to many items or different wallpapers in the first draft because of the restrictions, only to then get told to include more haha
I think it’s really cool that we are getting this peak into the process. It’s cool seeing how they put little mannequin Sims around for scaling objects, and that they have this sort of default world to build in (but it still gives you an idea of what the final world will look like). I’m really glad these were recorded and able to be released. Thanks to both James and the Sims team. 😁
The difference between when the Sims team builds their own lots and when they let simmers do it really is remarkable. You grounded everything in the lore and characters, worked so hard to get the layout right and made it feel like a lived in home while being under the same restrictions as any Sims team build. Really well done.
@@Jane-Roe1126 I’m sure it was contract work or something. EA would want this to be official; that way there can be documentation (like NDAs) and proper precautions in place. Especially after doing this a few times already, I doubt they are asking for favors.
Yeah if you build something like this there absolutely needs to be a freelancer fee. This companies makes millions. No one gets anything as a "favor" or "for fun".
@@jennardone9499 you have to pull the paper UP instead of down, which means kids and pets can't just slam their hands on it to make it go. It sounds weird, but it actually makes a difference! Source: i have four toddler siblings and two cats lol
@@jennardone9499 I know this is 11 months ago but go try to unroll underroll paper by only moving your hand down. A toddler actively seeking the quickest way to make a mess isn’t going to think about moving the paper up. Cats and dogs are also not going to move the paper up because they can’t. The most they can do is rip it off the holder if they’re a big dog or bite/scratch it.
@@justsomeone2391 ur making my grateful i have neither. but also depends on the length that is left after someone uses the toilet. ya know like if it is under instead of over but hanging down it would still be quick and easy for a toddler to pull down with just one hand
I’m so glad to see terrain used in lots that ship with the game! This was really well done, subtle but enough to convey the idea. The way this was tucked into the landscape is so cool! I live in a part of the world that has forests and cabins (not the kind of North American Pacific Northwest forest that seems to be the inspiration here though) and This house feels so familiar. Two story cabins are very normal here if you need more bedrooms - because heat rises so having a sleeping loft is warmer and cheaper to heat then a sprawling one story. The balcony basically being the height of the “road” is really cool and also true to life of homes I’ve seen.
It was also really helpful for me to learn how to use terrain in a way that won’t show up on the map view. Because I never use terrain tools for that reason; it makes map view look terrible. But now I know I can!
I love that even though James is building the lots for EA, he still has to do a small something for his friend- Dr. Gluon. :) That was top notch lore added.
It's so cool how collaborative this processes seems to have been. EA recognizes James' talent and skill, and James recognizes EA's vision. They worked together for a truly dynamic finished product, and let's be honest, some really compelling content for James Turner, formerly known as The Sims Supply. What a fun view into the process!
You can usually tell by looking at his video uploads. There will be a couple months of lull before this gamepack and back when he build some of the lots for Snowy Escape. Especially when there's a lull in the longer minutes rags to riches lp vids.
i think it’s amazing how much thought has gone into the lore of the house - especially compared to older packs (?? It’s amazing how critical they are of the builds when we’ve all seen the del sol valley museum???) so glad they got you to make the lots, gross and run down stuff is one of your things for sure haha
Maxis unfortunately didn't have much choice because EA had them under their thumb for a long time. They only recently lifted Maxis's creative controls, which is why simmers have been signed on to do build mode since Snow Escape. The older builds were made under EA's restrictions, and these are made under Maxis's. There is a HUGE difference.
I was sckeptical about this house first but i finally love the story behind. I thing that I will just add a basement like a "jail" to protect the community from wild wirewolves. This pack is under control so they will jailed themselves in the basement when the senses the fury come. (sorry for my poor english, i'm french and do my best ;) ) Thanks for your vidéos !
It would be funny to use the club feature to have the wolf pack meet up at the full moon, then get everyone in the "Club Room" (basement) and lock them up until it's over
Don't apologise for your English, it's wonderful and i think its great you have a second language under your belt. I am learning Spanish and sometimes make mistakes but that is a part of the learning process :)
james is incredibly talented. this house is amazing! i know this has been said already but i'm really glad that the sims team hired him. it's nice to see proper houses coming with a pack
The sims team couldn’t have chosen a better simmer for this pack than James! Congrats! All lots are amazing and I have the impression that James worked smoothly with the sims team like they were sharing brain cells in some cases.
My headcanon reason for the underroll for the TP is that there are werewolves everywhere in this world and, much like cats, they like to unroll the tissue paper and this is how everyone copes.
Awesome job James!!! But am I the only one who finds it a bit ironic that when simmers build the world there’s a super involved review process, while previous worlds built by EA were allowed to be so mediocre and incomplete?
I'm sure they've had that process the entire time but the previous builders weren't as skilled. It's like any artistic vision: if you don't know how to get it to come together properly, it's not going to convey what you want. The prior builders from EA also might have had less time, like the gurus waited until the end, grabbed the best builders in the dev bunch and said, "You've got two weeks. We'll get the team leads to review it and tell you what to change, just be quick about it and do what you can. Good luck!"
@@DoveJS That would explain ugly builds that don't reflect the lore, but it's not an excuse for missing doors and toilets or a roof piece in the default color when the rest are different. They really messed up on QA. Not new or surprising, but still
@@limiv5272 Oh, no, I never said it excused poor QA and those are definitely instances of that. Just offering an answer for the former because changing their practices this late in the life of a game doesn't make any sense, unless it's a shift brought about by Sims 5 development but I doubt it since those devs wouldn't have time to work on both games.
I’m not even joking, when I saw this house in the game I nearly cried. It is probably my favourite house in the whole game and maybe even my favourite house that you’ve built so far. It’s just perfect and I can’t wait to evict the sims that live there and move in myself 😂
That wild hair everywhere hairlength when James thanks EA for asking him to build these gets me everytime. He looks like the stereotypical werewolf character on TV shows like this, it's so fitting.
I’m not really into werewolves but still feel like getting this pack, just for the world and the build/buy. Also, that mullet haircut is one of the best hairstyles in the game
I'm so proud of you. Lots in this pack look amazing and thought out. You've put your heart into it and I'm sure everybody playing the game will notice that it's not a random ea lifeless build
I love watching these little creator notes. The community has grown so much since the first few packs and really love how the The Sims team is teaming up with creators building the worlds! It is publicity but every Simmer watching this will be like .. oh I love this lore and all these hidden little cheesy things like the toilet roll! I'll be a week later to the party, but this has me even more excited to play with the lore for once. Or just go in, use all the packs and overhaul these ahahaha Ofcourse you can't use all the packs and have to follow their feedback but just wondering. Would you do a build series where you do a Shell Challenge on all these using unlimited packs? Honestly I would so watch that!
I love how moo wasnt allowed, but in the Behr household, theres like a dresser half in a wall xD also, idk about anyone else, but id love to see these houses revisited and refurnished with packs you might think work well with it as an extra gallery upload.
This has been an incredibly interesting behind the scenes set of videos! I always enjoy your building videos when you share your thought processes, and this adds another aspect working with the Sims team. It's a pretty big deal being the sole builder, too-congratulations! Love the term 'Granny Flat'!! I've only heard that type of structure referred to as a casita or in-law flat. Glad you stayed firm on that bookcase-it's a fitting room divider for this home, and always enjoy a good Jerry placement! All the lots look fantastic-well done!
It' s soo great that you had acces to the lore and could build the house this family deserve. I'm really enjoying this type of video, that I can watch early version and see how it develop in time. It's really cool
Love it!!! Especially the inspiration for Rory's room Ok I have to put a rocking chair in Lily's room, she can do some knitting to relax when she wants some alone time
It would be so cool to see James renovate these lots but with all packs and no build restrictions. There were a few things he mentioned in this video that I thought "if only he had item from x pack available" like in the kitchen he said about them growing their own herbs and there's that item from realm of magic that would be perfect
So glad they had you build the lots for this. I'm having such a blast playing this pack. Your lots are so good that I do not feel compelled to change them, they are good as is! Love that, as I can spend more time actually playing instead of fixing. THANK YOU! Also can't wait for more of your werewolf let's play as I am a bit stuck at the moment and your let's plays always get me going again. Good job all around, now get crackin!
Hearing your reasoning/lore for why you have done each step in the building and decorating process has given me an extra layer of appreciation for the Lots looking the way they do. I love being able to tie something to lore in these games!
I am so enjoying this series of videos. I love seeing your process and how you work with Maxis/EA to fit in with the lore. I think you were chosen for this not only because your builds avoid pathing issues without looking sparce but you are clearly easy to work with.
Thank you EA for using these great builders for the lots in recent games. The care really shows. Thank YOU James Turner for giving us a look into the process. I love how you worked the story into the build. Having followed you for so long and thinking back about some of your previous builds like the abandoned warehouse turned gallery... I can see where you were a very logical choice as a designer for this pack.
I love seeing the behind the scenes of the builds. I don't think I'll be replacing anything anytime soon. The terrain manipulation is such a great touch.
All of it makes me want to do the gameplay, visit everywhere, and play as all the characters. Like I wasnt sure, im very into stories. im overly detailed in everyones in my game. I take a ton of pictures.. I really want to take my time and play. Just well done everybody. (also all items, and cas are super useful)
The only reason why I’m buying werewolves pack! EA already took way too much money from me LOL not only in The sims but also covet fashion (phone game) BUT YOU SIR! You’re the reason I’m buying the pack! Thank you!!!
I’m glad you pushed to keep the bookshelf as a room divider, one of my favorite details in the house!! Makes it feel open and inviting while still being cozy :D
i think it's really amazing because having actual people that play the games adds so much- i was able to tell whose room was whose without watching this video based on detail and placement of furniture alone. i was so excited to see that since it's also something i enjoy doing when it comes to worldbuilding and im so excited to just uncover more of the lore
the care and thought you put into these builds is so evident. great job james! hope you get to do this again with future packs. i would also be so keen to see deli get to build some lots for the sims in the future too :)
this world's vibe is totally match with james's style of build, so glad they chose him as the builder for the lots, I really love this series, can't wait to see the library episode!
its none of my business… but i hope EA paid you generously for all the work youve done for this pack james! your attention to detail is admirable, i am so incredibly proud of you from how far youve come. huge fan. your storytelling through your builds has made this pack so incredible.
I have never felt much desire to play with the premade families before seeing James build this world. It's so full of personality I can't help thinking "I can't wait to meet these sims!"
This video was really fun for me personally. I like seeing the process and the bit-by-bit that it was built. I think it's a little different than watching a build that normally would go up on the gallery for download because it came with the game. Ive been playing this lot for the last few days and had no idea that James had actually built it. No wonder it felt cozy and not devoid or life or personality like a lot of EA builds. I like that they're including players' builds and objects, I just wish I had known this was player-made.
James!! You have no idea how incredibly excited I was to hear it was you building these lots! You did a phenomenal job, and I legit want to buy this pack because you got to build them.
SIMS Team: James is always complaining and finding mistakes in our builds, how about we make him do a whole world and see how hard it is? James: Uses this opportunity to troll the entire SIMS community with under-roll toilet paper. Because Werewolves are like cats and like to play with toilet paper. (Lore Canon by Katie M) Honestly, I thought he would troll the community by not placing any bins. XD
I never thought about the compatability of the different lots you made, how they weren't all created separatily from each other but with all of them in mind. I'm really loving these builds and will be sad that the series will be over.
I really love that you are showing us the process, It is SO interesting and fun to see your creative process and thoughts as you made these builds that I now have in my game and can play with! You did so good!! They chose the perfect person for this gamepack!
LOL -- "we would have preferred this house that is supposed to have three people, plus the untouched bedroom of the fourth person who moved out, be one story." Okay then, Gurus, you do it. But I like the final design of the house and the granny flat for Lily. You did a good job!
23:02 the moment you realise James is either a supreme troll or has never sat in a chair to play guitar. 😅🤣 this build is amazing. so glad it was James that got to build for thus world.
My sims 1st day was to visit this house and I love this house and the area around it, so I had to have my sims move in there 😉 I was waiting on this video upload of how you did this house.
Amazing job, James, you definitely did right by the world and by the players. It's so great to have someone who actually cares about the game do the lots. They are so much more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing. You 100% deserve this opportunity.
Love the house! Too bad they moved out in my game due to the Neighborhood Stories feature. I can learn a lot from watching these build videos, I am very uncreative myself when it comes to that.
This is why one of the first things I do when I start a new Sims game is go into Manage Households and turn off the moving house options for NPCs in Neighborhood Stories
The amount of detail in this house is mindblowing🥺 like i think it gives so much more background story to the pre-made family living here, it seems like it's really their house and they've been living here for very long time Congrats James!🥳👏
Oh, I love the way you used the bookcase to create areas in the living room. Really smart! And it looks amazing! The entire house is pretty cool and I'm really glad to have you as the collaborator in this pack. Thank you for showing us the process!
I'm planning on doing a rotational gameplay in the werewolf pack, so I've been binging your videos on it and they're so nice! I love how you grounded the builds to the lore and characters, and this house is one of my favourites
I love that the Sims team is actually including simmers and youtubers in the creation of packs now. Idk if they've been doing this and I'm only just now realizing or if this has been a thing for a while, but I love it.
I'm glad that there are lots using terrain editing in the game now! I never use terrain editing because there are no default lots with it so my houses stick out.
Thanks, James for this build walkthrough. It's really great to see how the process works while looking at the different stages in development for the world you're building in.
It's really cool to see the world being built. I'm by far more excited for this pack than the high school pack. If I took over this exact lot, at most i personally would make it a little less rustic and might expand a room or two, while trying to keep your general layout. The external layout and the granny nook are perfect.
seeing james go though all these checks really makes it seem like they just didn't care about buildings in earlier packs, near empty rooms and missing bathrooms surely wouldn't have gotten through
I love this series of videos. Thanks for sharing your process with us! It's interesting to see a bit into how you work with the sims team to make these.
Just amazing! It is just so incredible to have watched you playing the sims right at the beginning with the rags to riches series when I first realized people actually recorded videos of playing sims and uploading them to youtube and now seeing you doing this! You must be incredibly proud :)
A few people asking about the punching bag disappearing at the end. I forgot to mention we decided to remove it as it didn’t totally mesh with the vibe of the Moonwood Collective, who are much more peace loving.
Wow. Cool !
And what about the telescope? You made that balcony off the bedroom bigger for it, and then never placed it
Well, the telescope bit I forgot haha. It was a long time between revisions (note the hair change) and it slipped my mind!
Luckily that’s easy enough to add in yourself :)
Maybe Rory took the punching bag with her when she left.

even with the restrictions, you still build leagues better than the actual sims design team tbh
It' s soo great that you had acces to the lore and could build the house this family deserve. I'm really enjoying this type of video, that I can watch early version and see how it develop in time. It's really cool
Love it!!! Especially the inspiration for Rory's room
Ok I have to put a rocking chair in Lily's room, she can do some knitting to relax when she wants some alone time
It would be so cool to see James renovate these lots but with all packs and no build restrictions. There were a few things he mentioned in this video that I thought "if only he had item from x pack available" like in the kitchen he said about them growing their own herbs and there's that item from realm of magic that would be perfect
So glad they had you build the lots for this. I'm having such a blast playing this pack. Your lots are so good that I do not feel compelled to change them, they are good as is! Love that, as I can spend more time actually playing instead of fixing. THANK YOU! Also can't wait for more of your werewolf let's play as I am a bit stuck at the moment and your let's plays always get me going again. Good job all around, now get crackin!
Hearing your reasoning/lore for why you have done each step in the building and decorating process has given me an extra layer of appreciation for the Lots looking the way they do. I love being able to tie something to lore in these games!
I am so enjoying this series of videos. I love seeing your process and how you work with Maxis/EA to fit in with the lore. I think you were chosen for this not only because your builds avoid pathing issues without looking sparce but you are clearly easy to work with.
Thank you EA for using these great builders for the lots in recent games. The care really shows. Thank YOU James Turner for giving us a look into the process. I love how you worked the story into the build. Having followed you for so long and thinking back about some of your previous builds like the abandoned warehouse turned gallery... I can see where you were a very logical choice as a designer for this pack.
I love seeing the behind the scenes of the builds. I don't think I'll be replacing anything anytime soon. The terrain manipulation is such a great touch.
That transition still hit hard! 🐱🦁
I always love to see you build and convey a story about the build... and having this in the game just makes it extra special!
Really loving this build series! Definitely making me consider getting the pack!
All of it makes me want to do the gameplay, visit everywhere, and play as all the characters. Like I wasnt sure, im very into stories. im overly detailed in everyones in my game. I take a ton of pictures.. I really want to take my time and play. Just well done everybody. (also all items, and cas are super useful)
Hahaha the toilet paper debate never made sense to me lol just make sure you replace the darn thing when it's empty.
I love these videos so much, so cool to see the behind the scenes process!
James is super talented. The amount of creativity despite the cheat restriction is fantastic
The only reason why I’m buying werewolves pack! EA already took way too much money from me LOL not only in The sims but also covet fashion (phone game) BUT YOU SIR! You’re the reason I’m buying the pack! Thank you!!!
That first house design looked so realistic though!
Edit: it did turn out quite nice.
I’m glad you pushed to keep the bookshelf as a room divider, one of my favorite details in the house!! Makes it feel open and inviting while still being cozy :D
same!
I think this is my favourite of the new houses. The environmental storytelling ist perfect.
I love how he just loved to play the game and now he’s building FOR the game😭❤️ I’m so proud of you James!
i think it's really amazing because having actual people that play the games adds so much- i was able to tell whose room was whose without watching this video based on detail and placement of furniture alone. i was so excited to see that since it's also something i enjoy doing when it comes to worldbuilding and im so excited to just uncover more of the lore
the care and thought you put into these builds is so evident. great job james! hope you get to do this again with future packs. i would also be so keen to see deli get to build some lots for the sims in the future too :)
this world's vibe is totally match with james's style of build, so glad they chose him as the builder for the lots, I really love this series, can't wait to see the library episode!
Ahh this build very charming! It's a bit run down, but I think you can tell that the Sims love their home and want to make it nice.
I love how you got to build all these lots for this new pack I bet it felt really good and a really big proud moment for you happy for you go James!!
its none of my business… but i hope EA paid you generously for all the work youve done for this pack james! your attention to detail is admirable, i am so incredibly proud of you from how far youve come. huge fan. your storytelling through your builds has made this pack so incredible.
i hope this leads to more work in the future! your passion for this game is what keeps it alive ❤️
I have never felt much desire to play with the premade families before seeing James build this world. It's so full of personality I can't help thinking "I can't wait to meet these sims!"
As a console player, terrain manipulation has been really difficult to master so these kind of builds are very impressive to me! Love it 🥰
I can see how City Skylines is a little behind now lol.
Amazing build yet again James!!
All your builds are great and this one is my favourite just because of the way you arranged the living room.
This video was really fun for me personally. I like seeing the process and the bit-by-bit that it was built. I think it's a little different than watching a build that normally would go up on the gallery for download because it came with the game. Ive been playing this lot for the last few days and had no idea that James had actually built it. No wonder it felt cozy and not devoid or life or personality like a lot of EA builds. I like that they're including players' builds and objects, I just wish I had known this was player-made.
The landscaping you placed around the place looks amazing! Your whole process on all the builds has been so interesting, well done.
James!! You have no idea how incredibly excited I was to hear it was you building these lots! You did a phenomenal job, and I legit want to buy this pack because you got to build them.
Literally just watching the first part perfect timing! :)
SIMS Team: James is always complaining and finding mistakes in our builds, how about we make him do a whole world and see how hard it is?
James: Uses this opportunity to troll the entire SIMS community with under-roll toilet paper.
Because Werewolves are like cats and like to play with toilet paper. (Lore Canon by Katie M)
Honestly, I thought he would troll the community by not placing any bins. XD
I never thought about the compatability of the different lots you made, how they weren't all created separatily from each other but with all of them in mind. I'm really loving these builds and will be sad that the series will be over.
Literally the best builds in sims 4 amazing job James 👏
I really love that you are showing us the process, It is SO interesting and fun to see your creative process and thoughts as you made these builds that I now have in my game and can play with! You did so good!! They chose the perfect person for this gamepack!
I really appreciate how you really think of storytelling in your builds you’ve done fore this pack.
LOL -- "we would have preferred this house that is supposed to have three people, plus the untouched bedroom of the fourth person who moved out, be one story." Okay then, Gurus, you do it. But I like the final design of the house and the granny flat for Lily. You did a good job!
23:02 the moment you realise James is either a supreme troll or has never sat in a chair to play guitar. 😅🤣
this build is amazing. so glad it was James that got to build for thus world.
these videos really gave me new insights on how much storyline actually goes into the builds
My sims 1st day was to visit this house and I love this house and the area around it, so I had to have my sims move in there 😉 I was waiting on this video upload of how you did this house.
Amazing job, James, you definitely did right by the world and by the players. It's so great to have someone who actually cares about the game do the lots. They are so much more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing. You 100% deserve this opportunity.
Love the house! Too bad they moved out in my game due to the Neighborhood Stories feature.
I can learn a lot from watching these build videos, I am very uncreative myself when it comes to that.
This is why one of the first things I do when I start a new Sims game is go into Manage Households and turn off the moving house options for NPCs in Neighborhood Stories
I love this! We can see exactly how hard it must be to make the builds because you have such specific guidelines to meet.
I love how cozy this house looks
The amount of detail in this house is mindblowing🥺 like i think it gives so much more background story to the pre-made family living here, it seems like it's really their house and they've been living here for very long time
Congrats James!🥳👏
Oh, I love the way you used the bookcase to create areas in the living room. Really smart! And it looks amazing! The entire house is pretty cool and I'm really glad to have you as the collaborator in this pack. Thank you for showing us the process!
I'm planning on doing a rotational gameplay in the werewolf pack, so I've been binging your videos on it and they're so nice! I love how you grounded the builds to the lore and characters, and this house is one of my favourites
I love that the Sims team is actually including simmers and youtubers in the creation of packs now. Idk if they've been doing this and I'm only just now realizing or if this has been a thing for a while, but I love it.
I'm glad that there are lots using terrain editing in the game now! I never use terrain editing because there are no default lots with it so my houses stick out.
Thanks, James for this build walkthrough. It's really great to see how the process works while looking at the different stages in development for the world you're building in.
It's really cool to see the world being built. I'm by far more excited for this pack than the high school pack. If I took over this exact lot, at most i personally would make it a little less rustic and might expand a room or two, while trying to keep your general layout. The external layout and the granny nook are perfect.
I’m glad you keep the bookcase and didn’t switch it out with the base game one! it makes more sense and give the house more character
The bookcase and the 'granny flat' are my favorite parts of this build, definitely looks cozy and self-built
seeing james go though all these checks really makes it seem like they just didn't care about buildings in earlier packs, near empty rooms and missing bathrooms surely wouldn't have gotten through
Im glad the bookshelf you wanted stayed because I literally love it there
I think it is so cool that you got to do this. Super amazing. Love watching the progression of how the builds were made.
That little granny flat is so adorable. Great fix for forgetting the extra bedroom!
I love this series of videos. Thanks for sharing your process with us! It's interesting to see a bit into how you work with the sims team to make these.
I would love to see your bb.move objects + all packs Renos of these lots! But excellent work!
I seriously couldn't find this house for like half the day even though I knew it was near the starter home, so I gotta say amazing job hiding it!
It's so interesting to see how the lots come to be. You did an awesome job
Thank you for thinking of doing the video this way! It’s so fun to see the process and how much things change.
Love that you remembered a Jerry picture for DrGluon!
This is amazing! It would also be cool to do a challenge like this too. Like following the EA rules when building a house.
Just amazing! It is just so incredible to have watched you playing the sims right at the beginning with the rags to riches series when I first realized people actually recorded videos of playing sims and uploading them to youtube and now seeing you doing this! You must be incredibly proud :)
To be honest James building everything in this world is the only reason I want this pack.
