"I stole my GF's custom content" is a hilarious title. Would love to see you make a video like that. Also I don't usually enjoy speedbuilds, because having the commentary afterwards feels "disjointed" to me, but because you don't speed-up the build so dramatically, it's *much* more enjoyable!
Love the video idea for a CC build. I totally understand why you choose not to build with it, but as someone who plays with CC it would be really cool to see you build with it once and I while!!
for the stairway to function, you could've put a 8-step-high one-tile platform on the corner and lead some wally stairs up to it, and from the platform to the upstairs another set without walls, james. also, welcome back, we missed you.
As a console player, it is very much appreciated that you try to stay away from custom content & think about your audience! This does not mean you are never allowed to enjoy all the amazing content these creators make! Also really missed watching your videos! Welcome back☺️❤️
There's something relaxing about just building and watching/listening to something. For me it's catching up on critical role and building. Glad you're back and this build is awesome! 😄
I am LOVING this build, I love how you challenged yourself when it came to the inside. All the platforms and the arch way through the stairs are great and I would love to see more builds where you challenge yourself if you would want to make em.
Always my favorite builder in this game. You always try to make it realistic and functional. Plus, it is always complete. I won't mind only building videos!
Just get some easy plants! Zizi’s and snake plants need almost no water and are super easy with light. I have 70+ houseplants at this point and every surface is covered in plants 😂 Edit: a string of pearls is also very easy to take care of and it grows fast! As do tradescantias
I appreciate that you keep in mind that we all might not be able to have access to custom content!!! That being said Sims teams could learn everything from custom content creators. Custom content creators blow the sims team out of the water every time…….!!!!!!!
I've literally built whole mansions before that are 1 bed 😂 I usually just end up going crazy with like "private library" "home gym" "photography studio" and then by the time I get to actually doing a bedroom I'm like "aw fuck, well hopefully they don't want kids here 😂
If you place arches under stairs/on stair walls - make sure to do it with Move objects off! I think the problem was that you had the arch slid over/alt placed - you could see the arch corner on the left just slightly intersecting the stair treads - it won’t work if it intersects the stair treads, it has to be completely on wall. I actually had a childhood friend who had that stair set up in their real house, arches under both sides of stairs and a built in shelf under the lower side of the stairs. I always thought it was really cool.
Plant pro tips: don’t water nearly as much as you think you should. Many plants do better to be dry than overly wet. Get a moisture meter to check if it’s still wet. Don’t move the plant to a bigger pot. It can stay in whatever you bought it in till the roots grow out of the drainage holes.
I have def put arches underneath stairs, and they always work. But I don't think I've done it with L-shaped stairs, maybe just straight ones. That did look really cool how you had it, too bad it wouldn't route. There is always the possibility of a glitch in this game. I like the elevated kitchen, too. Very interesting and innovative floor plan and overall design, it is.
I love watching you build with items I forgot I had! I know Deligracy uses custom content to show it off and its all awesome but your talent (and her's) to build without it is absolutely wonderful. I always download your builds.
The bedrooms with the white walls, grey carpet and the black windows is so Aussie townhouse. I’m sitting in my Melbourne apartment and it has that exact combo
I REALLY appreciate the fact you don't use CC in your regular builds but man I'd LOVE to see a video where you steal the CC and make an awesome build haha
Tips from a plant mom: - pick one day a week to take care of all your plants. Feel the earth before watering, if it's still wet from last week, skip a week! - put your plants in pots with drainage holes, when watering water all the way through to stimulate the roots. Plants who need less water just need it less frequently, not less at once - put them close to windows, there are very few plants who don't enjoy sun. It's just a sales tactic to say they like medium light ;) - when you decide to report, try to do it in early spring so they have the whole growing season te recover! - don't stress if you loose a couple, we are all human and trying to figure it out 💛
Hey James have you ever tried splitting L shaped stairs up. You put a single square of platform up to a certain height and then put stairs going up to the platform which can have walls and then you put another set of stairs from the platform up to the second level without the walls giving you a good balance. The trick is just finding the right height for the platform where both stairs can properly have a landing on the platform.
I'm terrible with plants. They just sit there. At least my cats tell me when they are hungry, need water, want to play, etc. I thought he forgot the smoke detector but then he pointed it out. lol Poor yarn ball got left out, replaced by a plant. House turned out cute though.
Use the CC! Just do us all a favor and list what you use in your gallery description/speed build video description. I've downloaded builds from Deligracy before and had everything load and place properly, because I already had the CC in my mods folder. Your builds are already top tier, I can't imagine what you'd do without the limitations of only Sims content in your game.
@@sarasomething236 they're both limiting in different ways. custom content is limiting to console players and packs are limiting to those who cannot afford them. custom content is my preferred option
@@mickeylev6494 totally agree. I think it’s reasonable to put out both types of vids. Most builds I download from the gallery are missing items because I don’t have all the packs, which I don’t mind. But it’s nice when it’s cc that I can just download.
Nice build! And congrats on remembering all the little bits and bobs. XD The carport looks particularly nice -- though I'm sorry your wall under the stairs didn't work. Ah well. . .and good to know about platforms and stairs glitching out. I shall remember that for my own future building projects.
I love the archway under the stairs! That looks so cool! And hey, I say if you want CC, get CC. That’s a very nice sentiment but just an FYI, when I download your houses most of it disappears anyways since I only have a handful of packs so I go and replace the items anyways 🤷🏼♀️ Moral of the story, do what makes you happy 🥰
The first :50 seconds in already enjoying the video 🤣 thanks James for all the amazing and entertaining videos! Loved you since the Bread shop with Gluon and still loving ya now! ❤️
I know a lot of Sims TH-camrs don't use cc in builds to make it easier to download, but personally I'd rather have to download free cc than buy a ton of dlc
the "stolen CC build" Sounds good. i realized that a while ago that she uses it a lot and u don't. I like both but your builds are more lively bc her CC is usually very mild and calm looking
Honestly, I've wondered for ages why James hasn't just... built a house in Deli's game just to try out building with cc. I'm definitely looking forward to that, though, it sounds like a lot of fun!
So happy that you are back and this build is very cool! Totally a guys pad! I’d love to see you do a cc build…once you go cc you never come back you know…lol 😃😃. Much love to you and Deli and Happy Holidays 🎄❤️🎄
I don't know if it's because there's not a lot of stuff in your office, or something, or if I'm more sensitive to sound. But there's like some reverb in some areas, like it was happening around the 24:30 onwards mark.
For the stairs issue you can use a platform. Raise it up to the landing height - then you can have a stair up to that height. Place another stair from the platform to level two and remove the walls from under that stair only.
Overall I love it, love this type of modern builds. Only thing I would change, is add more accent walls, like brick walls. Other than that it’s perfect, keep up the good work James!
when i have this kind of space left under the stairs i either put there a nice big plant or pet stuff like a bed, or a scratching post, or the toy box, they usually can use it. with as much space as you have there the big bed might not work but the small one should without a problem.
The majority of plants aren't too bad but I think people want to over complicate them because they're a little nervous. Just check their soil once a week by putting your finger in it about an inch. If the soil feels dry, give it some water. Make sure the pot has a drainage hole so the water doesn't sit at the bottom of the pot. Plants are a lot more resilient than you think so even if you forget to water for a bit, it'll likely come back to life (even if it looks ugly for a bit).
Okay but why am I giggling so hard at the idea of James sneaking around to Mission Impossible music to get Deli's CC folder? 😂😂
Lmao now I want that as the intro to the video!
Lol partially green screened James being like "well fuck it" is such a mood 😂
"I stole my GF's custom content" is a hilarious title. Would love to see you make a video like that.
Also I don't usually enjoy speedbuilds, because having the commentary afterwards feels "disjointed" to me, but because you don't speed-up the build so dramatically, it's *much* more enjoyable!
Won’t lie, VERY into this shell. Inspo AF. Also, notes: I usually use the dirt floor, in Misc, under plants on platform planters instead of grass.
Yeah, I grabbed a build from online and they did the same thing. Didn’t think to do that before myself 😆
@@TheUnplannedLove I also do it for structured landscaping when I’m insanely lazy
I don’t see what is the dirt floor in misc, is it from a pack?
@@flw1522 it should be basegame, outdoor sort (pic: grass/flowers).
I also put that dirt on the floor of my window well platforms (darker swatch)
you have no idea how much i missed your vids! I'm glad you're back and feeling better!
Same, just the thing that has been missing from my week
Totally looking forward to your build with the current cc!
Samee
Yess!!
James making a speedbuild with custom content it’s such a dream come true!!! your style would match perfectly with deli’s cc!!! can’t wait to see it
Love the video idea for a CC build. I totally understand why you choose not to build with it, but as someone who plays with CC it would be really cool to see you build with it once and I while!!

hello fellow critter
The Industrial couch and chair is my favorite in the whole game!
I am LOVING this build, I love how you challenged yourself when it came to the inside. All the platforms and the arch way through the stairs are great and I would love to see more builds where you challenge yourself if you would want to make em.
Always my favorite builder in this game. You always try to make it realistic and functional. Plus, it is always complete. I won't mind only building videos!
The ball of Yarn was supposed to be placed where you put that plant.
DON’T LOOK AT THE YARN!
I still do the yarn on every half wall and shelf because of James. Makes me giggle every time 😂
I do it too when I put in half walls
Just get some easy plants! Zizi’s and snake plants need almost no water and are super easy with light. I have 70+ houseplants at this point and every surface is covered in plants 😂
Edit: a string of pearls is also very easy to take care of and it grows fast! As do tradescantias
Steal Deli’s CC, BUT I would also LOVE for you to collaborate on a CC build at some point. Glad you’re back James! We’ve missed you!!
I'm so happy you're back! I hope that you enjoyed your break ❤
I appreciate that you keep in mind that we all might not be able to have access to custom content!!! That being said Sims teams could learn everything from custom content creators. Custom content creators blow the sims team out of the water every time…….!!!!!!!
I noticed James inspires me to play but when he wasn't uploading I stopped playing lol now I feel like playing again
James doing a CC build… I am living for it
Not all "bigger" houses are family homes. Some just want bigger kitchens and living rooms to entertain or just to have more space. Just a thought 😊
Yeah, but, in the sims? Do people REALLY have sims over that much?
@@EdwardoLover Occasionally I'll have a sim who is really into throwing parties. But usually...nope, get off my lawn.
@@EdwardoLover we're all introverted hermits. That's why we're playing the sims instead of socializing 😂
I've literally built whole mansions before that are 1 bed 😂 I usually just end up going crazy with like "private library" "home gym" "photography studio" and then by the time I get to actually doing a bedroom I'm like "aw fuck, well hopefully they don't want kids here 😂
I love building massive mansions with only 1-2 bedrooms. Maybe it's because I don't want kids myself that I don't automatically calculate them in haha

I was fully expecting James to run with the gag that only half his green screen was down for the whole video.
Plant pro tips: don’t water nearly as much as you think you should. Many plants do better to be dry than overly wet. Get a moisture meter to check if it’s still wet.
Don’t move the plant to a bigger pot. It can stay in whatever you bought it in till the roots grow out of the drainage holes.
I’ve missed your videos!! I’m glad you’re feeling better ans are back to making videos!
I love how you said that'll do and you just went for it after that, it actually looked great!

omg James you have no idea how much you lighten up my mood, sometimes it's all I need when I'm having a bad day
a cool idea for a big concrete build would be turning a storage unit into an apartment building :)

I actually really appreciate someone thinking about the ways doors open or the realistic-ness of windows in a neighborhood.
I missed your videos. Love the stairs and all the structure of this house. Always amazed with your elegance and creativity building.
so pleased that you're back! Love the way the kitchen looks from the outside with that overhanging roof
I was so excited to get this notification! Glad you're back !

Welcome back! Gorgeous build. Keen to add it to my game.
I really like the way you did the carport and fencing/landscaping! Nice wealthy family home.
Hey James have you ever tried splitting L shaped stairs up.

The trick is just finding the right height for the platform where both stairs can properly have a landing on the platform.
Happy to see you back! Loved your reno to the farm but I would love to see more of the every lot challenge too.
Glad you are back, also that position of the hand towel in the guest bathroom triggered me so much 🙃
I was looking for this comment
heck yeah to custom content, those guys are doing a fantastic job!
You could also do a video like switching save files/games with deli, so you get to experience how she plays the game.
Nice house James. I think I'll add it to my game.
I'm terrible with plants. They just sit there. At least my cats tell me when they are hungry, need water, want to play, etc. I thought he forgot the smoke detector but then he pointed it out. lol Poor yarn ball got left out, replaced by a plant. House turned out cute though.
Doing a video with Deli’s custom content would be fun!

Also YES for CC builds! Maybe a mini CC series, I'm sure people would love that.
You're such a talented builder. Very inspiring. Welcome back :-)
12:18 YESSSSSSSSS JAMES TURNER FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE SIM SUPPLY SIMS 4 CUSTOM CONTENT HOUSE BUILD!!!!!!!!! YES PLEEEEAAASEEE!!
I really love the warm feeling in the kitchen, my new favourite! Elegant home!
In my opinion, using custom content is no worse than using a bunch of packs. I'd love to see you use some!
Exactly! Especially since cc is free and all the packs cost lots of $$$$$
@@sarasomething236 they're both limiting in different ways. custom content is limiting to console players and packs are limiting to those who cannot afford them. custom content is my preferred option

James, thank you SO MUCH for not using CC; I appreciate it for just the reasons you say!
I love this build! Very inspired! --Missed ya!
You got the ceiling mounted green screen! YAY!
You e really gotten great with colors and decorations, the build is beautiful, loved the video, glad you’re back. ☺️👍🏼💙
Glad you’re back! Love the build!😍
I really missed your build videos. Keep up the good work!
Great build. Glad you are back to recording.
James build a carport. Cars coming to Sims 4 confirmed!
Yes! I am looking forward to a CC build!
Nice build! And congrats on remembering all the little bits and bobs. XD The carport looks particularly nice -- though I'm sorry your wall under the stairs didn't work. Ah well. . .and good to know about platforms and stairs glitching out. I shall remember that for my own future building projects.

That actually came out pretty good. Bummer it didn't work under the stairs because that was really cool.
Waiting for months for James to get back into building again . Thank you!!
YES YES please do a CC build it would look great.
I know a lot of Sims TH-camrs don't use cc in builds to make it easier to download, but personally I'd rather have to download free cc than buy a ton of dlc

I'm glad ypur settling in and back to uploading. 😁
Hi James, I really like how this house turned out. I will use this in my game play. Thanks so much!
Watching you build always motivates me to do my best building mine although I get jealous most of the time 😅
Love the building! Great job!!! I also dug the really cool stairway arch thing. Sad to see it go. :(
awesome builds! this has the vibe of that house from parasite movie
I’m so happy you’re back!
I love that you don't really use CC but would defo love to see a video of you stealing Deli's CC folder
Build challenge, build a house where every room is themed and based around a personality trait.
Honestly, I've wondered for ages why James hasn't just... built a house in Deli's game just to try out building with cc. I'm definitely looking forward to that, though, it sounds like a lot of fun!

Fun build. It’s a cool design. I wish we could do more with the stairs. The hallway under the stairs was awesome

Can’t wait to download this! Glad you’re uploading again
You have no idea how much I needed this. Thank you thank you thank you.
More builds please! Love your build videos!
I'm not a cc builder either, but I would watch the absolute SHIT out of "I stole my girlfriend's custom content folder."

Love this build ! Love the exterior
