I think it’d be cool for each Bigwallet (or i guess just the Bigwallet’s that went on to do their own series) to have a small thing on each grave that represents the pack they played (pet/vet stuff for Katrina, a banana for Banana R, an autograph or starlight accolade for Lady II, etc)
Yeees, and maybe Sebastian should have an orchid on his grave 😄
Or a flower arrangement with orchids - of course scented with bluebells!
And when the day comes, Chaz should have a hen/rooster sculpture and/or one of those "sculptures" of his prime oversized crop!
@@SimsalinaBuilds OH ;( Now i'm gonna cry I can't think about Chaz dying already! Chaz was the best!
@@birdblackbird4766 I knooow! The Cottage Living series have a special place in my heart ❤️
I saw someone mentioned to put a plot for Cowtrina.. and I just thought, that would be such a Chaz thing to insist on! Animals are family! 😍
And of course for the dogs too!
It made me think of him and what could represent him on his grave. 🥺
@@SimsalinaBuilds ooooh I'd love a plot for Cowtrina ;( Chaz would totally have done that I couldn't agree more! I still name cows Cowtrina thanks to that let's play!
@@birdblackbird4766 Yes, that would be so nice - and I commented he could use that cow sculpted hedge for it (maybe sized down)! 😄
All the cats and dogs should definitely be here too!
I think you should have done a family crypt with the first two Bigwallets in it. That would have taken up space and looked awesome.
Yess! I thought that too. I hope he will do that!
Yes, when he started building the building in the middle at the beginning I was like ouuuu a crypt, that's perfect! But nope. lmao
I thought the same thing. Plus fit alot of urns lol
Love this! I think the bigger graves need some sort of personalization based on their character. So Sebastian could get some flowers since he was into flower arranging, maybe Banana could get some seashells on her grave and so on. That would take it to the next level.
I had the same idea! Great minds think alike.
Just came to say the same in comments! It would make it extra special ❤
Im amazed that you guys always remember the characters like this
Definitely! Because the raised style graves are usually in the memorial part of the cemetary where you can put all kinds of stuff on the grave and the others are usually party of the lawn cemetary where you can have small ornaments and flowers only at the top to allow for mowing.
Edit: Wow I really need to proof read 🤣
Yesss
I wish we could have actual cemeteries in the sims, and better deaths plus funerals
The Sims 4: My Funeral Stories
The Sims 3 used to have cemeteries, I have no idea why they didn't fo it in TS4
@@komivica8855 Because TS4 was at one point going to be more like an MMO (the multiplayer mod just accesses ancient, unused code within base game) and we didn't ghosts on release; like swimming pools they were added into the game a few years later. So that combined with how small the worlds became later on is probably why they didn't do it.
There's already one in cats & dogs, they might as well give us an actual one
You can use the Mortem Mod. You can place graveyards, plan funerals and everything. Death Npc will be replaced by a coroner who comes and puts the bodies in bodybags.
I'm relatively new to the sims youtube community, but the speed with which this guy became my favorite is baffling.
He just seems like such a wholesome person all in all, and having watched most of his Bigwallet series, it's incredible how he went from "yeah, sure, pass out and pee on the ground, idc" to "omg, guys, let's build a cemetery for my dearly departed sims"
you're in for a treat! James Turner is the absolute best!! And welcome to the Sims YT community!
James is so sweet and so fun to watch, I totally agree. But he is just really talented… His editing and just the way he lay stuff out is amazing!
Welcome to the community! James was the first simmer I found on here and I have followed him for years. You are so spot on! I'm so excited for you!
that sounds about right haha. James and Deli are the only sims sims youtubers that I follow. He can be harsh for his sims once in a while but at heart James seems like a really nice guy and I love watching his videos.
Welcome to the community! ♡ James is amazing, I have also been following him for years. Hope you enjoy his videos, they are amazing.
There is a graveyard mod on Mod the Sims by Simularity.
Per the notes:
"This lot trait will turn any generic lot into a proper graveyard perfect for all of your deceased Sims to move to as their final resting place... if they wish to rest that is! During the day, the graveyard will be populated with mourners paying their respects to lost loved ones. At night, the graveyard will be haunted by those whom have been lost. The lot trait may include a few more surprises as well. Read on... if you dare!."...
You should put an item on the burial site to relate what rags to riches season was for which bigwallet. That probably sounds so confusing lol. For example lady bigwallet the 2nd was the main person for the get famous lets play so she could have an award on her grave. Katrina was the main person for cats and dogs aswell as jungle adventures so she gets a treasure and a cat and dog statue. Sebastian was the main person for the seasons lets play so he can have a flower bouquet And so forth. That way the main characters for each series can stand out in some way.
Yeees, but maybe Sebastian should have an orchid on his grave 😄
Or a flower arrangement with orchids - of course scented with bluebells!
And when the day comes, Chaz should have a hen/rooster sculpture and/or one of those "sculptures" of his prime crop!
Love the idea of putting the initial in the middle. It looks so peaceful. Also it will be really amazing if the respective photo of the family members are put together with their grave
Looks great! Please add some flower vases and random items on some of the graves as if people have been coming and paying their respects :)
I was thinking the same thing
Now you need to make a funeral home with the funeral mod 🖤⚰️
Sincerely someone who desperately wanted to be a funeral director/embalmer but never got the chance. So now she lives her dreams out in the sims.
It's never too late to chase your dreams, if you're bold enough. 🤔
I didn't know there was a funeral director/embalmer mod career, but 100% needed in the Bigwallet family
There's a game about embalming and funerals, The Mortuary Assistant (is a horror game).
I do understand how you can end up not doing what you wanted to do and I don't know your situation, but if there's anything you can do to make your way to your dream career, I sincerely hope you work towards it, make it, and thoroughly enjoy it!!!
For those wondering my set back is being a high school drop out. Mortuary school is actually fast and relatively cheap to go through, but it’s not having a high school diploma that is the real set back and I don’t think I could pass a GED especially in math. Just looking at math brings this overwhelming dread over me and makes me want to cry. My monkey brain can’t handle anything beyond basic adding, subtracting, division and so on. When you start throwing letters off into math my brain literally just goes “nope” and stops absorbing information.
you could add some lights on the ground on the pathways maybe and then some more flowers around the gravestones?
I kind of think Lady 2 would have a much more elaborate grave. And also nowhere naar het family. Something where her fans can visit 😆
Sims can step over half walls if they’re short enough! Like, you can actually place a half wall in front of a bathtub, and they can still get in
Ooooh! Thank you, that's a great tip.
at first i interpreted the "if they're short enough" as referring to the sims. like for some reason taller sims just cant step over half walls
@@clearlynotchloe omg, i actually thought the same when I wrote it 🤣
6:12 is it me but did it go blank for a few seconds? it scared me for a second
I was tripping out for a second 😂
@@briimilli at least i'm not the only one, I thought something happened to my computer or something
Yep! I thought my phone died but then I saw James’ logo still in the corner 😂
Same i though my iPad died 😂
Happened for me too!
I'm in the middle of making a church in Moonlight Hollow right now, with a small cemetery, as Vlad's lot has arguably spooky surroundings. I wanted to add a small area for holding funerals, as I found out the other day you can eulogize sims with podiums (and i think a certain level of charisma).
Great idea!
You mean Forgotten Hollow (since you mentioned Vlad) or did you mean Midnight Hollow from Sims 3? ^o^;
@@foranzo1582 oh probably! I was at work and didn’t bother to google the proper world. 😅😅
You should definitely put cowtrina in this graveyard lol
Aww, how sweet! 😊
And such a Chaz thing to insist on - because his animals are family!
He can even use that cow sculpted hedge for it (maybe sized down)! 🐮
Hi Semaj and community! There are 2 mods out there that might be worth trying: happy haunts (graveyard mod) by Chipped Sim and the graveyard mod by Ravasheen. They even add the graveyard lot trait!
Should put a monument to carol alto in the middle. Like a tomb of the unknown soldier kinda thing lol
Looking forward to the next Bigwallet appreciation day. It'll be a fun day out for all the (surviving) family members.
Beautiful and peaceful lot to visit and pay your respects! Especially love the “B” and pictures at each headstone
I just want to thank James for making the effort of giving us videos in 2k, they are always so pleasant on the eyes 🥺
There is a live edit object from the pets DLC that is basically the thing you were building is front of the graves.
Also there is other stuff from that DLC that would work great there as they are from pet cemetery on the Island you built this on.
I feel like i have just completed a project, that satisfying feeling to witness the projects being completed after years.
Its also great to know that i've been watching all your videos for so long though i don't comment as much 😅
May the Bigwallets rest in peace now 💟
I'm feeling sad for no reason so I wanted to cheer myself up with James..and he's building a cemetery 😂 well it still made me feel better.
Also did any else got a black screen from 6:09 to 6:13 or is it just me?
I got it too! Not sure what happened, maybe an editing mistake?
@@amandaconnor5874 Yeah I suppose, I was just making sure there is nothing wrong with my phone 😀
It happened to me too. I thought it was youtube inserting an ad that just didn't work properly.
He edited it out, lol
I can't get over how you always post videos right when I need them. I was literally just scrolling the gallery looking for a graveyard for my challenge when this popped up in my notifications
Also that lot in Brindleton Bay is actually so perfect for a graveyard? Most people build them in Forgotten Hollow or even Glimmerbrook but this lot makes so much sense and it's so peaceful there, I love this build.
Such a lovely graveyard! Definitely a one the Bigwallets deserve! I love your videos so much and your personality just makes them so much better
I love that the Seasons Bigwallets got the other special place, because they hold a special place in my heart. There was just something about Sebastian and Luna.
Check out cemeteries in New Orleans, Louisiana. They have what are called "coping graves" built above ground because the majority of New Orleans is built on reclaimed swampland below sea level.
I'm so glad you kept the B because it's my favorite part of this build! can't wait to visit it in the future during Let's Plays ❤
ATS4 has the BEST default replacement urns, caskets, flowers, grave markers, and just overall gorgeous add ons to your perfect cemetery.
Also. (If you're into the realism) - I highly recommend the Mortem Mod. It replaces Grim with a Coroner, and then allows your Sims to plan and attend an actual funeral or ceremony to celebrate your Sim.
Very nice job! I'm looking forward to seeing it when its complete with the photos and updates!
Around the Sims is the BEST! For Sims 3 and 4
I'm always amazed at how James mind works- this came together so awesomely. The idea to put a hill and make a B out of flowers was so clever . Using different styles of graves gave the whole place more depths and dynamics. It's great 😊
Beautiful cemetery and I love that you have a special spot for Lady and her partner the start of the whole family legacy. Love the B in the centre and all the landscaping. Really a special space to remember the wonderful Bigwallet family
A beautiful build James. I especially like the idea about using custom content for their pictures. Thats such a great idea.
I think a thing i'm gonna start doing as well is like a family tree on the wall. Take photos of each Sim and add them to a family tree wall in the house. I mean its a thing to have family photos but obviously with the sims its a bit harder but you can take selfies and photos so maybe thats a decent way to do a family album. Have a family wall.
The build looks great! I'm just surprised you didn't put any of the vampire pack statues in it cause they're like, perfect for cemeteries, I've seen very similar ones in cemeteries I've visited.
I’ve been watching the big wallet series from the beginning and I just saw the family pictures in the seasons let’s play and that made me want to see pictures of everyone from the series added somewhere so I love the idea of putting them by the gravestones. I was thinking they would make sense to be up in the wall of the restaurant by the other pictures that lady took but this makes a lot of sense.
you really never disappoint. i'm obsessed with the finish product
i loved the gate idea ngl, but it looks good without it too 👌🏽
I feel like in the (m/p)atriarch section you could do one little tomb for them both? There’s a name for that that is escaping me at the moment.
A mausoleum? 🙂
I don’t know why but seeing the gravestones made me miss all the generations. Can’t wait to see more! this cemetery go hard
I love what James did with this, although I personally would have placed the original Lady Bigwallet in the centre ( Maybe in the top and bottom of the B, or on either side of it ), so that she could have been surrounded by the family that she was the progenitor of 😁😁
Or at the "top" in the middle of the lot - underneath the tree!
@@SimsalinaBuilds , I thought that to
Yay finally! Please upload a video of you making the custom content for the signs/pictures. Would be cool if you added a few personal things to specific sims’ graves too
Some vases of flowers at some of the headstones might be a nice touch. Show their loved ones still come round.
This is awesome. I've been waiting for this. I'm glad to see that all the past generations of bigwallets and all future generations finally have a place where they can rest in peace.
chippedsim made a couple of good mods for this lot, ghastly ghosts allows some sims (usually occult) to see ghosts and interact with them
You make everything look so easy. love watching your builds James you put so much thought into them. x
It turned out great! It’s nice to see the Bigwallets have a beautiful place for their headstones to rest. The whole time you were building this I thought there needs to be an easel; a place where people can come to paint since that’s how the financial part of the Bigwallet family actually began. 💜💜💜
6:10 I thought my phone crashed but it was just the video 😂
You should add an easel by Lady's grave with her picture on it!
Aww this makes me wish I still had my first legacy save! The family wasn’t NEARLY as large as the Bigwallets but I think it was around five generations? Maybe six? It started with the literal first sim I made when the game was released. Anyway, this is a lovely build and I’m glad the family has somewhere nice to visit now 💕
Yay, I've been waiting for this video 😊 it looks fabulous and I'm really pleased you kept the B in the middle 👏
I love this idea!!! Maybe the main characters from each let’s play should be in the bigger graves so like lady bigwallet II, little bigwallet, bob bigwallet and Banana Bigwallet etc and then other family members in the smaller areas. Just a thought but I love this idea :)
Cemetery with a roundabout, that's very creative, reminds me of your Eco Lifestyle Bigwallet LP and it's also unique
i love this so much but i wish james used more stuff from romantic garden stuff pack because they have some statue items that have the same vibe as the hedge archway he used!
YES, and maybe a nice place to put the wishing well too! 🤔😊
In case of more accidental deaths you know where to go to wish for life (or for other wishes in life) as it rarely fits in a residential lot.
Those slabs on graves are known as ledgers (usually inside of churches) , but in graveyards, they are typically mortsafes. Providing grave robber prevention, which incidentally allows more inscriptions for commemoration.
I look forward to your updates and further organizing of this place as time goes. I gotta say, i know they're pixels and it's s game, but it's really moving that you made this for your legacy family. We've all grown to really love the Bigwallets!
I have been wanting you to do this for so long and today was the day although I was hoping would do a crypt or whatever its called which is a seperate building for the matriach and patriach but i absolutely love how you've done it especially the circle with the B. I can't wait for the custom sign and pictures
Awesome!
Love the idea of the pictures, be great to put wreaths/flowers too, to change the look of some!
So glad you managed to do this! 🙌🏻
James! I love your builds and how you think its soo creative and as a creative person myself i love to watch these videos.
Oh I love this! It looks great and I've been waiting to see this!
I love this!! Now because you have so much space for more graves I think so of the big wallet family tree needs a bit of tidying up since there are still sims from the eco lifestyle rags to riches and there are the three brothers which should be long gone by now especially since Chaz Bigwallet is an elder and his father is still alive.
YES! I’ve actually been weirdly excited for this video since you mentioned the idea 😂😅
I really love the big B in the middle. It fits perfectly. I would definitely download this lot.
The picket fencing reminds me of colonial cemeteries you see a lot in the southern US. I'm thinking Savannah, Ga or New Orleans.
Edit: As for the "B", those types of things always look pretty bad at ground level so don't feel bad about it!
I'm thinking about building an Italian cemetery on Tartosa, the difference between Italian ones and British/American ones is that in Italy they consist of multi-rows of concrete vaults where you place the dead, which you extract after 70 years to see whether they've turned to bones or not, if they are bones, they get moved to a different area of the cemetery where they're placed in a blank vault. As a third culture kid (British born, until the age of 10, then I moved to Italy) it would be nice to incorporate a little bit more stuff from my culture, and it would also be nice bcs it would then feel like a different country instead of it feeling like just one big country. 😀 (unfortunately I'm great at decorating, but my problem is that I'm terrible at building shells, I'm definitely a cas player 😅)
Beautiful!!! The Bigwallets will be dying to get in!!!
Lol
Glad you came back to this. I think the photo idea is great. Also suggest placing a few bouquets, wreaths and flower vases in front of a few of the headstones. But Sebastian should have orchids on his!!
Very lovely cemetery. Happy to see it complete!
This is absolutely beautiful! I love the B in the middle!
I haven't followed your series for some time (absolutely hated the high school pack) but I wanted to see this cemetery build for soooo long!! I remember building one for my family on a 64x64 lot and it took *ages*... No wonder you were putting off building yours 😆
That looks great. It would actually make a pretty wedding venue for important Bigwallet weddings as well ... 😊
i honestly kinda love cemetery builds 👀
They are called "Coping Graves" and are made of a set of plaster-sealed stone, marble, or granite walls that seal off the coffin from pending water levels. Generally, coping graves remain uncovered, with the exception of gravel, and can be built to around 3 feet above the ground.
This is so cool!! Can't wait to see what else you add to it.
OH MAN - I've been waiting forever for this build. THANK YOU!
I love my legacy cemetary, it has a little church, and a section for all the pets as well. Its probably one of my best builds tbh
Very cool idea! I've done this sort of thing when playing with the vampires pack before, and I've found that a good way to get a nice, exact pathway is to keep the grid on and use the square terrain paintbrush, just fyi
The "raised" graves are the most common here In Brazil, when you go to big cemiterys. they are quite expensive, so it does fit the Bigwallet (they are the most common because when you can't afford one, they put you in a draw in a big wall, with a little plaque in front)
Omg you sounded like Bob Ross from time to time in this video, just a little bit here & a bit over there. ❤ Love this cemetery & the pics would be awesome, also maybe some little flowers like someone left them. Love all the videos!!
While they do have the pets cemetery there on that island, I figured it would be best to move Stroud out of his mansion up on the hill and place the cemetery up on his property where there are all kinds of headstones around.. That is where I have already built my cemetery.
Yes, me too! I made a church and graveyard on that lot 😄
But a nice idea for a (human) cemetary on this lot too.
The og Lady Bigwallet should have a crypt or mausoleum
This is beautiful xx and thanks for uploading..: I need a cemetery for my legacy.. the Bears- so the big B in the middle is perfect 👍🏻 🥰
I love it wish people would make more cemeteries/graveyards like these!
graveyard is immaculate!!! excellent work james! hear me out though - consider elevating and angling the circular plot in the middle, the B, then You can trim around it & add some dimension that you were trying to create with all the extra flowers.
Some examples of this are the landscaping that you find in Disney world, Where they take advantage of a sloped area to create a landscape flower design usually of like Mickey's face or something...
(Because when it's angled you can still see the detail of the design they're trying to create)
when you mentioned the seasons family i got all nostalgic
When Jams gets an idea in his head he really gives it everything he has. That B is insane!
Is it me or there is a random black screen at one point? Still great vid!
You and Simsie both have done graveyards, what about a mausoleum? With the lovely cubbies for urns and little trinkets from loved ones. There's one, I can't recall the name of it, with lovely stained glass ceilings!
you should look at some Israeli graveyards, here we don't have just tombstones on the ground, it's more expected that each person has a stone box thing on the ground that would have some engraved words and usually each family could ask for the groundskeeper to plant certain flowers on it or near it and even plant a tree behind it. in rural graveyards it's much more private and spaced out but for example Jerusalem's graveyards are very dense city like
I often add the candles from eco lifestyle. I made the All soul's day as a holiday in my save, have my sims visit the cemetery when it's dark and it look sso nice with the candles. I always pretend that the sims puttthem there and light them.
I’m amazed at how you do terrain paint so easily!
In my friendgroup there's a running gag, about me always building cemereries in my games.
Every game that let's me, will have a cemetery. Even my island in Animal Crossing.
This is right up my alley.
I’m doing this same thing with my sims too. Lol. Love your layout.
A long time ago I had a dream about a graveyard in this Sims kind of like this, but I was actually IN the game walking around, and it had a giant tree in the middle with a path around it, kind of like what you made.
The raised graves are a nice touch
You could add the wishing well where the hedge arch is!! Would be some extra gameplay and makes sense on the lot!
Realy nice liked it nice and bright and clear love the build
I love this! If I ever do a legacy, I’ll take inspiration from this! The only thing I might change is giving lady the first her own mausoleum, since she’s the first Bigwallet to go through the family tradition of Rags to Riches. You can put Wyatt in there too, since he married her.
This looks great!! Way to go!
Finally a place to visit on Bigwallet memory day!
The gate actually gave it more detail and an interesting look you should keep it. Every cemetery I've seen is always completely gated off to keep people away when they're not supposed to be there and they usually lock the gates at nights.
I love the flower B. It is awesome!
