Can you imagine being a newly wed couple, buying this small bungalow to renovate/expand (it has a lot of land!), but then starting to wonder why the electricity bills are SO high, and then one day you bump into the old bookcase the wrong way, and you’re just going further and further down thinking to yourself ‘what the fuuuuu....’
They are gonna find out pretty soon. Its a big giveaway to not be able to dig in your garden without hitting the top level of the basement which is bigger than your house.
I haven't played sims in a decent amount of time because I've been stumped with uni work, but this build lowkey making me wanna play as a mad scientist who captures and clones sims to turn the entire sim community into blank, traitless robots :p (And I'm usually not that big on plots and storylines in the sims)
The bills are high, so you start experimenting with the breakers, and end up leaving a couple off. Those were the ones powering the containment unit....
@@clairmoon06 they cook in the bathroom and I'm like.... You took ingredients from the fridge that is in the KITCHEN but you didn't think of using the counter that is RIGHT THERE ?
when they have the "Neat" trait and the kitchen sink gets a bit dirty, they go to the sink in the toilets and I'm like "I though I gave you the NEAT trait. Talking about sims 3 tho
Imagine walking through a library underground, a bowling alley, amazing pool area, a whole lab, just to get locked in a cell.. That must feel really upsetting LOL
You should do a build that you make in Sims 1 then 2 then 3 and 4. It would be really fun to see how similar you can get them and how it evolved through the games.
That's what I thought! I might start a new game download this and play that! Like, have them capture a couple townies! Study the sims biology, maybe impregnate them (the bassinet needs to be used for something) and study their reproductive cycle!
I miss that in the Sims 3, you could swim under walls. I used to have a secret pool entrance that you swam through. A random one tile hole that could be swum through. Also, the World Adventure secret doors.
3:55 yea, you know what's the best combination would be? Sims 4 Building mode, Sims 3 World, Sims 2 Social interaction, and Sims 1 music. that would be amazing.
This but also that special sims 1 unhinged weirdness like a mime showing up to your party or a person in a bear suit tip toeing to your garbage in the night
I want Sims 2 animations but Sims 4 Sims. I was amazed watching James’ Sims 2 episode how much less stingy they were with animation. There are TWO sleeping positions! And cooking looks so much more realistic.
@@yeehawgay basically he did a prison challenge years ago with random sims townies, of which one (katrina caliente) was really annoying, kept escaping and never doing what he wanted so became a recurring thing for him to shout “katrinaaa!!!” :)
I feel like this is the type of build that perfectly demonstrates all the packs of the sims 4. James Turner, formerly known as the SimSupply, is a marketing and building genius.
That makes total sense! There absolutely should have been a movie theatre that came with the Get Famous pack!!! I don’t know why they didn’t think of that!
@@cookfamily6141 Well they wouldn't be able to use the stuff from movie hangout stuff, and platforms weren't out yet when the pack came. It would be a pretty lame theatre😅
Thank God, I love that you went all out and used everything you wanted from the catalog, I'm so bored of simmers limiting themselves with packs and budget. I understand the reasoning for that but seeing James just have fun was refreshing
I would really enjoy a sims 3 house build; saves me the time of re-downloading 3 for myself and will remind me of everything I hated about the build mode
Having gone back to Sims 3 recently, I really enjoy it because I can make really crazy and experimental stuff, as well as things that are difficult to make in Sims 4 (like open two-story rooms.) But it has a lot of weird limitations that got fixed in the Sims 4. Plus some of the Sims 4 tools (like the roof tools) are a godsend. I still lean Sims 3, but a hybrid of both build modes would be perfect.
This was such a creative build James. I really liked it. I also agree that building in TS4 is much easier and fun than building in other versions of the sims.
If he actually intended to play on the house I would suggest that it was because of the glitch where sims won't take showers in shower tub combos. But 1 I don't think he intended to play in it, and I think that glitch might have been fixed.
@@nancyjohnson7147 if that was the case I would assume he would just put a normal tub rather than a combo... but what do I know 🤣 I wonder if he even realized he did it
in a lot of australian beach homes there will be two showers, though often the first is outside. you take a shower when you come home from the beach, get rid of sand and sea lice and whatever else, and then later you take a proper one before you go to bed. i have seen showers like that in bathrooms with actual shower-tubs (also extremely common in australia)
@@beth641 Yea I've only ever seen the second shower outside of the actual bathroom, never 2 showers right beside eachother, but maybe that's the new thing 🤣
I saw this pop up on the gallery when I was playing a couple days ago and thought “well I can’t wait for THIS video...” I was certainly not disappointed.
Wow! What an amazing build! Awesome! 🤗 You don't have the slightest clue to what's going on in the house from the outside! Cool! Keep up the great work James! 🙏😊
I was expecting something way more ominous than a bowling alley, I think I've been watching too much of FakeGamerGirl and her forbidden woohoo and juice builds hahaha
Just watched Deli's apartment build for her dream life and in it She said you'd agree to splurge on a good couch and then in this video you say the same couch is your current favorite! You 2 are so cute you know each other so well!
I played the sims 3 recently. Basically 4 cut a lot of great functions of 3, but polish what remained. I don't know if that's a good thing though, since by technology advancements alone things in the sims 4 should work a lot better than they did in the sims 3 even if it had things like the color wheel, texture change, open world and etc...
This was a lot of fun to watch! Thank you! The levels are going to a real treat for the sims to use, except maybe if this is put on an earthquake lot, it will make lab time so stressful! haha I appreciate your honesty and reflection on how the Sims 3 isn't everything everyone seems to remember through their nostalgia fog. The Sims 4 may be buggy, but it has good features like you mentioned with build mode.
Ok, the actual bungalow part is so cute and good and I wonder how much this build would cost without all the not at all suspicious aspects underground? I would totally put two of these on lots next to each other (probably change up the colors so they look like a housing development and not clones of each other) and delete the basement on one but leave it in the other and play out a story with the neighbors.
I literally stuck with sims 3 until a couple months ago when I cracked because of the sims 4 build tools. I still low key hate the room system but moving the whole house on the lot is a total game changer, and the alt placing is so great
I love sims 3 build mode at the time but yeah... what we really need is a combination of how advanced the build mode was with the cheats and stuff PLUS the ease of ts4 controls if that makes sense
I’m curious about the usage of the tub/shower combo on its own first off, but the addition of the Uni shower, too? If I wasn’t watching James talk during this speed build sounding very much like himself, I’d be positive he’d been abducted and replaced with a pod person. I think an underground bowling alley makes perfect sense, at least in a residential setting, because it would absorb the sound and not bother the neighbors. Surely the home theater has all kinds of sound proofing and acoustic material so the bowling wouldn’t bother anyone enjoying that awesome room! Wasn’t there a Greco Roman type pack from Sims 3 that would have added to the pool level? That said, it looks so good! The lab reminds me a bit of what Classic Finn as a vampire did where he kept his plasma snacks (aka captive Sims).
I’d love to see you build a cliff lot in the sims 3 again using constrainfloorelevation but also I completely understand that going back to the sims 3 build mode is super annoying 😂
Ok i know this isnt tbe video for it but your explanation of the bowling alley reminds me of when i was a kid that there was a bowling alley which was in a basement place in a building. I remember it being a lil freaky too.
I love making basement home theaters. I put in a kitchenette, movie posters, multiple levels, pouffs, sectional couches, sometimes a bed to lounge in, sometimes a game console, deck it tf out
look up "Underground House Las Vegas"! They built an entire house with a yard and pool and everything under another house as a doomsday bunker. The basement looked like it was outdoors with trees and grass and cloud painted walls. It would be so cool to see you make something like that in the sims!
Why is no one mentioning that there is a 5 floor deep basement but only a bathroom on the very top..... I dont want to go up 5 ladders/sets of stairs to pee ya know? lmao
Actually, that bowling in a basement statement is true. You usually only bowl in Sims when you play Dr. Gluon's mini games which is usually in a basement 😂😂

it’s a totally normal title with absolutely no secrets 😏
Nice profile
This is definitely not a suspicious comment
@@johnnooyen461 and that’s totally not a conspicuous reply to that totally not suspicious comment
In reality you go to make a grilled cheese and the sim will choose the counter 4 floors underground
💀💀💀💀
E X A C T L Y
my sims always choose to use the counters in the toilets and it's really annoying lol
@@clairmoon06 they cook in the bathroom and I'm like.... You took ingredients from the fridge that is in the KITCHEN but you didn't think of using the counter that is RIGHT THERE ?
That just outright confused me, as a game dev it's literally so easy to find the closest specific object but whatever it's probably an engine bug
when they have the "Neat" trait and the kitchen sink gets a bit dirty, they go to the sink in the toilets and I'm like "I though I gave you the NEAT trait. Talking about sims 3 tho
The only sus thing is the two showers in the bathroom
hes channeling the sims team
Yeah I was confused by that
👀
The sussness 👀
It's for father daughter bathing
Imagine walking through a library underground, a bowling alley, amazing pool area, a whole lab, just to get locked in a cell.. That must feel really upsetting LOL
I was thinking the same.. at least you had quite some fun before
even a movie area
If anything he needs more cells.
OR some stairs from floor 4 to another floor 3 with even darker devices (such as the meat eating plant)
You should do a build that you make in Sims 1 then 2 then 3 and 4. It would be really fun to see how similar you can get them and how it evolved through the games.
That's a fun idea!
That's such a good idea!!! I would add, to start with a real life floor plan and see how you can reproduce it in the different sims games
YES!!! Do this James!!
Or the other way around - do a TS4 build, recreate it in TS3, then recreate the TS3 build in TS2 and so on like a bad game of Chinese whispers!
Yesss I would LOVE this
AND THIS IS WHY YOU PLAY TEST IT! 😂
That made me happy to see him say that. I can't tell you how many beautiful houses I've downloaded only to find that they just don't bloody work!
@Rodney Hudson and that has anything to do with this vid or comment because..?
@Phillip Ameer No
@@MisterClaws I usually delete just, 1/2 of all the decoration straight away
And 👏 this 👏 is 👏 why 👏 you 👏 playtest
This is what houses in Stranger Vile wished to be
I remember making a caravan with an underground floor with a bunch of random activities
When Semaj says nothing suspicious you know it’s gonna be good
The cute modest bungalow that costs as much as a 5 story house for no apparent reason .
Wow what a totally normal build by my favourite Sims youtuber James Turner! How regular and not suspicious at all :)
Perfect for an alien trying to blend in while studying the human race. ;)
It would explain why there are two showers. The alien doesn’t know that two showers is abnormal.
That's what I thought! I might start a new game download this and play that! Like, have them capture a couple townies! Study the sims biology, maybe impregnate them (the bassinet needs to be used for something) and study their reproductive cycle!
So this is Juno Birch’s house then 😂
@@ariannarossi810 I was about to comment the same thing! 🤣
THE HUMAN ENOUGH CHALLENGE
Imagine going all the way to the lab then realizing you left something in the kitchen
and then walking in and forgetting what you needed
Lol I love multi-level hidden rooms and stuff but they're *so* annoying for this reason lol
“Oh simlets I think I left the stove on!”
Or having to use the toilet anywhere in one of the basements.
“I kinda liked that idea & then I didn’t like that idea.” - me every 5 minutes when I play 🙈
I felt that

We haven't seen Katrina in a very long time, James. What happened to her? 👀

That memory has haunted me for YEARS. What was that, six years ago? Till this day if I hear that name, my brain screams it

Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary here

What a cute normal house! I can't wait to download it so that my sims can live a normal life.

Aww a totally safe, not-suspicious, secret hospital in the basement for those sims in need of medical care. You're such a selfless soul!
You should have just had generic 60's-style spy music playing in the background, that paused and restarted every time you had to fix something.
SUPER SPYYYYYYYYYY

That theater was amazing. That makes me want a full theater using the step and seating like that.
The pool room was giving me Tomb Raider game vibes from when you could lock the butler in the freezer in the early 2000's
The pool gave Poseidon level vibes from the first game. 😏
