- In a previous video we "ran" this hotel, let's have a look at how I built it today!

I just want to say, I know some of the balconies are the wrong height and the windows are the wrong colours - it annoyed me while editing! It'll be fixed when I share to the gallery for the pack release
I didn’t even notice until you said it 😂
I really enjoy your Sims videos and will definitely be using your promo code when I buy it to help you out. :)
Thank you so much!
I didn't even notice haha
My landlord sometimes gets yelled at for using the shared kitchen space in the hotel. The first was when he moved in after the current tenants. I kicked everyone out including the landlord and then moved him in first. I didn't have the problem again for several "sim days". Then I tried to do a potluck using the big upstairs tenant's apartment. I sent the landlord to cook his food in the shared kitchen since his apartment was blanked out during the event. That's when he got yelled at for cooking again. Any ideas anyone?
James said they kind of made it so that you have to be a good landlord and I felt a modder somewhere in the world sit up with a million ideas on how to bring slumlords to the sims 😂
Where is SimsLogical when you need them??
@@AnanasboatDamn I haven't heard that name in *years*.
Callmekevin is typing...
I can hear the knuckles cracking from here.
I’m still making run down/trap house apartments 😂 it’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a while so yup.
All the pretty pastel pink swatches in this pack are just screaming for a Burger Boys in Tomarang!
I miss the burger boys!
I'm impressed that James built this awesome hotel so fast when his previous attempt was taking YEARS
Make sure your part of his Subreddit! We only need 227 more members and he said he'd finish the old hotel build!!
We could say that the hotel has an official and pretty classy name but because the flamingo thingies and it being pink, locals started to call it The Pink Flamingo and rest was history 😂
Yessss
Or The pink Elephant, since there’s a big elephant on the front of the hotel!!
It was origininaly the Pink Pachyderm Palace
@gracie_l_lee yes I love the alliteration. Absolute magic
I feel they should've gave a little more to pools, especially with the new pool party.
Like the new bar could've been a pool bar, pool games/activities, curved/round and above ground pools. Rather than just one lounge floatie.
But that's just my opinion.
Oooh a pool bar and pool games would have been cool! A basketball hoop you could put in the pool or like a volleyball net. I feel a basketball hoop wouldn’t require that much reworking from the original hoops we have
I was thinking pool bar too! But that came with hotels in sims 3, so i think they will make an extra pack for it
I was scrolling back on your channel and I have realised I essentially haven’t missed a single video for over two years now 😮 just wanted to say you’re honestly my favourite youtuber rn and your vids are great!
Aw thanks so much!
When you mentioned adding in kitchens to the hotel rooms later it made me think of the tiny kitchenettes that some hotels have. Like they don’t have a full kitchen but just microwave, mini-fridge, coffee machine type situation. Might be a fun addition
Honestly in Indonesia it is VERY common to have trees on the parking lots to provide shades as it can get quite, ahem, sunny here. So your tree placement totally tracks. Sometimes the trees grow so big the roots break down the pavement/concrete around it and then you'll have to maneuver over lumps of roots and broken blocks. Good times.
Using the debug buildings from a pack as a reference is a valuable skill that I learned from James a while ago that genuinely improves my game experience!
This needs to be the next expansion honestly in a Vegas like city. We should be able to hire staff and a bellhop and hosts and service rooms.
I love that idea but a Vegas style world would need casinos and I don’t think EA would add those to the game
I want non-American worlds but a Vegas style world would be soooo good!
@@mejhdhhicbfshihids652 but EA loves gambling, how else you explain FUT and MUT and 99% of their games having loot boxes
@@mejhdhhicbfshihids652We can pee and whoo hoo in the same bush. We can spy on people now and blackmail them for money. We have alcohol, it’s just called ‘nectar’. I think that a casino pack, maybe with some elements cleaned up, isn’t too out there. We already have card games possible in the game and several table tops.
@@mauratyson9580as someone from Vegas it would be really fun !
There's an old 1960's children's book called The Pink Motel. The guests are a magician, wood carver, artist, and two "gangsters". This build is giving me that vibe 😂
Seems interesting
This is such a dumb thing to be excited about, but I'm so stoked there's finally a bike rack debug item?? The other day I rebuilt the science lab from get to work and was trying to make a decorative parking lot and i ended up using some random metal fencing and just trying to make it look like a bike rack lmao
I thought it would be called The Pink Elephant! 😄 That elephant carving is beautiful. Awesome build James!
I love all the colors in this pack, and all the opportunities for making dingy builds.
The colorful plants you placed outside and were saying hoe much you like them, with the vibrant colors (20:45) from debug are actually from Island Living in the regular catalog :)
Yeah a lot are from island living, there's some new ones from this pack too :)
I think it would have been nice to put the chalk hopscotch activities on the parking lot 😊 and I'm amazed with how well the build fits into the new world
I totally didn’t even think about that, great idea!
“ Hey my door out there is ruined! Hey that window! Hey that window! Hey that window! “ I laughed way to hard at that part lol 😂 I love it when you do that 🤣
This pink hotel reminds me so much of a movie called The Grand Budapest Hotel. (Really great movie. I highly recommend y'all to go and watch it) I would love to see someone turn the hotel building from that movie into a building in The Sims 4 🤩 Set that aside, I think this build is amazing as always! ☺
I am so unbelievably excited for your For Rent LP. I can't wait to see what kind of landlord Laird will actually be. (Is it terrible that i sort of hope she at least has a phase of being a bit of a slumlord? 😂)
I also wanted to quickly add a big THANK YOU here to you. I've been watching your videos for years & years, on this account and on my last YT account. I remember when the first video introducing Lady Bigwallet was released... Its wild to think of what it has now become!
Your videos help me when my anxiety is at its highest. It has been a true lifesaver for me, your channel. Ive found myself restarting older LPs again, now years after originally watching them when they were newly released. It is amazing to see the growth of the Bigwallet family... and also the growth of your channel!
So anyway, thanks for all of the time and effort you obviously put into these videos. You have a positive effect on the world!
I love it! The pool area is my favorite. I like when you take the debug shells and turn them into real builds! 😃
Since you’re all about apartments/hotel builds ATM, how about trying to tackle the Madonna Inn?!
Every room has a different theme and you can use your wheel to spin for a theme!! This hotel was pink so it made me think of it but the Madonna Inn is still incredibly different.
I can't explain it, but the world and this hotel give me Sims 2 vibes and it comforts me. 🌴😌
I applaud you trying to show how the hotel system could work within the confines of the pack. 😅 Before I had dine out I use to always do publicly accessible kitchens in ‘lounges’ and ‘bars’ that were specifically designed in the manner of restaurants in the pack and I selectively placed grills as well so there was a place to get food. I got dine out during the sale just so I could go back and properly turn all those venues to proper restaurants where my sims didn’t cook their own food. Sucks simple restaurants are stuck behind a pack paywall.
I hope we do properly get a hotels kit or stuff pack or something that allows things like room service, maid service, and full service kitchens. All the mechanics are there scattered throughout the packs just behind walls that don’t allow them to all work together. And while mods are cool to manipulate the system, it is always nice when everyone has access to it via in-game mechanics.
Not James promoting his creator code by showing purchase of Journey to Batuu😂
I see what you did there 👀
Thank you, it was a purposeful choice I made lol
I love the idea of using debug houses to build the shell of houses. I struggle so much with building, I’m much more of a furnisher. That is helpful!
I would say I'd gladly stay in a hotel like this, but I've already seen your gameplay of it, in which case no, I'd rather live 🤣
I laughed so hard at 20:22. So the pink flowers are called Lotus. They are a type of aquatic plant native to Asia, very common in China and Vietnam, and usually need to be in muddy water to survive :)))
I watched the Let's Play of this, but was looking forward to build video as well. Great you showed off how we could use the rent system like a hotel. We really need proper hotels at some point!
Once I saw that James was able to change the stairwell and top space to his unit only, I thought how this pack was literally for him, so he doesnt have to argue about contant door locking throughout every video!! 🤣🤣
Hotels is literally the very one pack I've been waiting for for YEARS 😅. I'm sure they could make it really interesting and fun !
James you always do an amazing job AND make it easier to follow and learn! You are so personable and I feel like you are a friend...the friend from another land! Ha When you say things about 'if you buy and you want to you can use this code and it will help support me or not...'. When you say it, it doesn't come out weird. Sounds like a friend just mentioning it. Thanks for all you do! 😊
I would love to see him go back to the Painted Ladies build he did recently with all of the new and colorful build mode objects
It took me until you finished furnishing the gym to realize that I've already watched you play on this lot. Oops.
🤣
I'm excited to use your creator code and justify my next Sims purchase by telling myself I'm supporting you
This is the type of rental space I’m looking to have my sims live in with their family so it feels more like a home and not an apartment with separate amenities (kitchen/dining for example) I’m so excited to see what else you build soon
WOW James, you're amazing, I would have never thought about tracing a building, you have given me a new project to try ❤❤❤❤❤❤
ngl but when the other packs are able to be used, a little dance floor and a karaoke thingy would be fun idk
I do wish some objects that require personnel (bar, stalls) would auto spawn a person when you go. A bar would have been awesome!
I feel like a couple of game tables might be a nice addition to this hotel
this reminds me of the resorts in sims 3 island paradise, the more laidback vibes are sooo good!!
I luv this build, def feels like a budget resort you would go to in a small beach town in SEA
This was one of the best hotel builds I have seen, it’s so realistic!
The way this build comes together is so amazing, love what you do james ❤
Also the furnishing is to die for, cant wait for this pack!!
I love this build! It reminds me of some hotels I’ve stayed at in Florida and Mexico
This is exactly how I would use the pack.. to make hotels. The team obviously encourages it, with being able to have 1 day leases, but all they sell the pack on is apartments. I suppose it's because if they called it apartments and hotels, people would complain that there wasn't a check in and out feature. And that would be soooo hard to add. 🤔
And then they couldn't sell a hotel & resort pack separate. Makes me want to wait and save my money.
I loved your first play with the new pack, it was so much fun to watch it 😂
For some reason I stopped playing around a year ago but watching you build this hotel/apartment and hearing about the For Rent pack…I feel the Sims itch returning.
I had already preordered my pack before I saw I could use your code to throw some support your way, I totally would have if I’d known! I love watching your channel, thank you so much for all the videos you make.
Thanks for the thought!
Noooooice!!! I'd be delighted to stay at a pink hotel! 💕
hey james! thanks for putting captions on this :)
This "hotel" should have the name The pink elephant 😁🤪the ornamental elephant is the logo. I love it so much! I can't wait for the new pack to put this building in my game! 😍🥰
A nice take on creating a Peranakan-inspired build. ✨♥️
I would love to see you build the Tipton Hotel from Suite Life.
YES
Love this build, so nice and detailed
The audible gasp I made when the tuk tuk couldn't go inside lmao
Ooh can't wait to get this pack, excited to run an airbnb-like rental!
This is really cool! In a hotel like this, you could have a "conference" room for skills and computers
I spy in Laird's future a lot of scuffed furniture and moldy walls 😂😂
really apreciate the use of both toilets in the bedrooms, since the squat toilet is not very accecible (even if we don't have disabilities in the game)
This build gave me major Sims 2 Bon voyage twikki island hotel vibes, and I loved it ❤🎉
Awesome build!
honestly, I love that you called it the pink flamingo in the end cuz I've stayed at a really cool hotel named that in Vegas!!🦩🦩🤣😂 and it was pink and flamingo themed
Giving Grand Budapest Hotel vibes with the pink XD
This is amazing!❤ when you have all the packs please can you make as realistic hotel as possible? With the white sheets and most generic hotel style? 😃
Thank you for this video! 😀🌼
A pond by the lookout might be nice 😊
Great build. I hope James put it up on his gallery.
You are so damn creative, I love it! Inspires me also to try to become a better builder
21:00 - Jams in his bougee era
So excited for 4 For Rent
Super fun build!
5:59 Love that wheeze 🤣
I’m so excited to use this pack for my hotels. I was hoping to use my butler like hotel staff and he’ll constantly be there and help out in the property 😂 probably doesn’t work like that but yeah
Oh i like the butler idea!
@@malinzoe thanks! I can’t wait for my butler to clean the shared areas and my apartment 🤭🤭🤭 and have him cook meals to share!
My theory is cars are coming and that’s why they have to be outside even though they aren’t functional . Whenever we get the update they’ll be usable
i want to se a rainforest hotel with treehouses and those walkways over the the treetops. it would be a magical place to be
can't wait to make a realistic new york apartment! one shared bathroom for the entire floor :DD
Seriously 😂😂
Lovr this build. I feel the parking lot could do with a bit of hopscotch.
James you’ve come along way since the beginning 😅 looks great 👍🏼
This build gives me serious Waikiki Beach vibes! Between the pink (Royal Hawaiian) and the lifted pool (Ilikai Hotel) it’s got me 😍
Actualy if tomorang is based in SEA or Indonesia. This kinda hotel called kost kostan, we have shared living room and kicthen , gym and dining room, sometimes swimming pool. But we rented like monthly. Its everywhere in jakarta. I live in one
42:45
NOOO PUT HIM BAACK
Loving the pink. Gives me a huge "renovated B&B" vibe, as in with the advent of AirBnB lots of people now push for a "unique experience." From the slightly out of place elephant sculptures I imagine the building itself is pretty old and maybe a lot of the furniture original from a more historical hotel, but the new owners slapped a coat of pink paint, renovated the bathrooms and added a pool deck, and of course stuck a plastic flamingo in the indoor planter to make it stand out from the competition.
This is cute. I especially love the lookout.
This build is pretty cute. Missed opportunity calling it the pink elephant though lol. ❤
Loved the build
The pink reminded me of a hotel called THE DON CESAR in Florida!
I cannot WAIT to download and play in The Pink Flamingo, it’s the kind of build me AND my sims would absolutely love
Were you able to download it?? I have the pack but it says I can’t download it for some reason
i want to design the Bates Motel now! NORMANNNnnnnnn!!
The apartments I managed my apartment was beautiful and my balcony overlooked the pool to ensure it closed on time and keep an eye on days off. I actually had an office on the entrance level with balcony that overlooked park and another building. 250 unit with multiple buildings. 1,2 and 3 apartments as well as one building with efficiency apartments. Never real off even with two guys to do repairs and such not. Knocks at all hours.
awesome build!
Loving the Trixie Motel vibes of this build!
This hotel should be called The White Elephant as a nod to the sign outside, and then of course, tongue-in-cheek.
Love the build.
Fantastic build
With that elephant carving on the front it should be called the White Elephant Hotel 😄
Will definitely be downloading it
Those plants are in the regular catalog, those are from Island Living i believe
hiii i’m so excited for the bigwallet lets play
I love this!!! Would you build the Vinoy hotel in St. Petersburg FL?
Looks so goood!
