Suggestion: the Tetris challenge You'd play a game of Tetris, and you have to use the shape of the first 10 pieces you get to create the rooms with. Any size you wish, but they have to be that shape.

Another variant could be "every room side is one tile longer" where you have a 1x2, 2x3, 3x4, etc

this video is just james realising his mistakes for 20 minutes

"It ends up being a house" Me everytime I build in the sims.

You should do this again, but with "golden rectangles." Essentially rooms with dimensions that are adjacent Fibonacci numbers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc. so you could have a 1x1, 1x2, 2x3, 3x5, 5x8, 8x13, 13x21, etc.

I can’t imagine constantly chasing the ping pong ball down those stairs.

“One massive bedroom” was literally my builds in the Sims 2, this whole house gave me building Sims 2 home flashbacks

James slow realisation of regret is hilarious but sad too ahahaha

James blaming “Contagion” for this house is literally the best excuse.

I love that you realized the layout wasn't good, but didn't feel like changing it. That happens to me a lot; I think oh, I should have built all of this on a platform. Well, I'm not changing everything now. Very relatable!

James’ requirements for a house: “It looks like a house”

We were all waiting for this dont deny it

james questioning his life decisions for 21min straight

the fact that this house makes no sense is very EA so its actually perfect

James, build challenge: Build a house but you can only use each item from the buy catalogue EXACTLY ONCE. E.g. you can use different counters but not the same one twice (colour swatches count as the same item)!

Every room has the number of tiles in the fibonacci sequence

The real crime is that James doesn’t know you can fit a shower, sink and toilet in to a 2x2

This house feels like some rich & bougie person moved in after losing their millions. They didn't want a small bedroom or one upstairs, so they turned the living room into a big ol bedroom and shoved the rest of their stuff wherever it fit 😂😂

“One Room at a Time” Challenge - Build and furnish each room separately, interior and exterior. You must completely finish everything about the first room, inside and out, before moving on to the next. Once you move on, there is no going back. This could create really wacky floor plans and house exteriors!

I like the twist and I think it’s so funny how big they get so quickly 😂 I tried the original one and I had hallways going into hallways going into hallways just to get to a hallway

This just reminds me back in Sims 1/2 when I build houses and every room was a square and the whole house was just a square

This house is like the chaotic neutral cousin of the house Max Powers grew up in. Not whacky enough for his parents' tastes but chaotic enough they probably considered it before deciding it wasn't vibrant enough yet.

Hey, what about Every floor is a different challenge Challenge? Like you could build the first floor like every room is a different hight, another level is every room is a different shape, another level is a 1 tile bigger challenge, basement like whatever and everything you could imagine Like the combinations of challenges but in 1 house

I won't be surprised if there would be a "Sims 4 but every room is on a different lot" challenge next

I feel like this is one of those things that looks wayyyyy easier than it really is lol

A fun spin on this challenge could be to lay out the squares and furnish them BEFORE you assemble the house.

It was dark in the sims in the video and i looked out on my window to check that it's really this late?! And I felt stupid 😂😂

"Every room is 2 tiles bigger, and all odd numbers" ex: 1 ile, 3 tiles, 5 tiles.... this will give you a interting shaped house...

Maybe a challenge where every room is the same size. Like EVERY room is 3x3?

every time he says "rumpus" room, my serotonin increases by 2%

playing pingpong there would be a nightmare, you'd have to keep fetching the balls that will most definitely fall downstairs.

Sydney Macoretta actually has done the every room is a different shape challenge!

I just love the ramblings that James goes on.

this just reminds me of building houses when I was 10 - just massive rooms that made no sense

this house looks like it was built and designed by an alien who's been observing humans through television shows. I say this because it's funny, but also... the philosophy major in me has to defend my thesis. 1. small bathroom? yeah, humans never use the bathroom on TV. 2. BIIIG BEDROOM AND WARDROBE? characters never wear the same thing twice. and clothes buying is a big deal in media.

I haven’t been this early since one of the Bumwallets started an art gallery 😂

I fell asleep while watching this (a few minutes after it was posted), which sounds bad at face value, but hearing James explain sims builds is extremely calming and relaxing to me.

I'm so glad you went for two storey house, i wanted to see it so much in Kayla's video

You should have put an open shower into the 1x1 room off the 2x2 room! Oh well, maybe next time 😅

Every room is a different Tetris block shape?

new title idea "james regretting his decisions for 21 minutes" LOL

"Hey guys, James here today" as if i was expecting someone else hahah

Poor James is stuck on "it was at that point that I realized...." throughout the whole video. Would love to see a reattempt!

imagine someone lives in this house irl. Big house with no sink in the bathroom and only one bed

I live these weird builds, they're so much more fun than building a plain old house

This is the most chaotic house I’ve ever seen. Nothing makes sense and nothing matches together. I’m confused but I quite enjoy it as well.

I love the swings from James hyping himself up to questioning his entire design choice back to praising his design then back to calling the whole build cursed

James calling forgetting a fridge or bin “pulling a deli” 💀💀

Every room is a different style/era challenge! You could even go for lilsimsie's style of using a spinner. So you could go by eras, 20s, 50s, 70s, 90s, etc., or you could go for styles kind of like how you mentioned in this house, beach house, farmhouse, retro, modern, etc.

Love that Lilsimsie prompted you to do this again 😂

It seems crazy that we’re still waiting for things to “complete” the sims 4. Yet, as soon as it’s “finished” they’ll release a new, incomplete game. If they do add colour sliders to CAS, it would add years more playability to the game with variety etc. just seems a shame

Challenge idea: Build a massive MASSIVE mansion and use every single item in build mode :D

Another interesting variation of this build challenge would be if all every new room would have to be somehow attached to the last one. (like the 2-tile to the 1-tile, 3-tile to the 2-tile OR keep the square dimensions with 2x2 attached to the 1x1, 3x3 attached to the 2x2, etc..... it could get real interesting, real fast, I reckon.. haha

I kinda miss James' modern black and white houses, BRING IT BACK PLEASE! 😂💚🤍🖤

I was gonna try this but double as a mirror image. So there would be 2 1x1's in the mirror opposite. It might be easier when it comes to putting in bedrooms.

James this whole video: Yeah choices were made 😂😂

LOVE this challenge, and the original version. Give me weird experimental houses forever

This is such a creative challenge. I wanna try it someday 😊 You, The Sim Streams and JFective are my favorite builders.

Love it when youtubers are super chill with other KZfaqrs and the sims community is the perfect encapsulation of that

This is the chaos content I subscribed for

What about every room is a different shape!! fluent in cat did it. It was epic! Tough one though 😂😂😂

the layout of this house reminds me of something a realtor would show students in a university city hahaha ... BEAUTIFUL furnishings tho we luv u james

“All the rooms are square so it’s not ideal for furnishing nicely” Every room in my house but one is a square 😅

Fibonacci spiral house where the squares start small in the middle and get bigger as they go around!

I actually really love that you’re experimenting with different styles a little bit! I like houses that aren’t super modern and so I actually really enjoy seeing you making older style homes. I really liked the cramped style of the last house too. Good job James! 😄👍

I'm glad James is back making videos. Makes this old lady happy after a rough time of year.

Every room is a different polygon challenge sounds chaotic 😂 and I'm here for it. You could make it an escape room/haunted house/fun house style where you walk from one room straight through and come out the other end, with each room getting more chaotic than the last one. 😛 excited to see it 👀

Okay but the outside of this house is so cute! I’d download this and redo the layout for sure!

Hard mode challenge: each room is twice as big as the previous. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc tiles

I actually quite like the way you built the house - and I don't think it looks bad at all, even if I wouldn't live there myself. Always enjoy watching your build videos - thank you for this one, too!

Note on massive bedrooms: You can place some fairly tall half-walls to help section off the room, then get your bb.moveobjects friend on and pop some curtains over the opening. Makes it look like a room divider without technically splitting up the room. Idk if that makes sense but I do it all the time, I like it especially with open loft type of vibes😆

alternative title for this: James Turner questions his decisions for 20 minutes

James narration is SENDING me 😂😂😂 I wanna try this challenge, looks fun

This gives me "shady holiday home on the beach that was far too cheap" vibes

Love when James builds and does build challenges! We have so many suggestions as watchers and I hope he can find the inspiration to build! ❤

House challenge: use just one of every type of building aspect; such as columns, half walls, basement, shaped stairs, swimming pool, etc. No exceptions! Use everything, but only once.

I loved Kayak’s video so nice to see your spin on her spin 😂

Always love seeing you attempt challenges xD this was a nice twist to the last one! Still pretty quirky lol. From watching your last build and now seeing this one I think it would be an interesting challenge to build a house only using rooms on the gallery and piecing them together somehow to make a livable home ^_^

While James was doing the weirdest layout I saw myself living in a house like this. Being the upstairs a dance/music/art studio and redistributing the rooms to make it more liveable 😂

I feel like someone is gonna trip on that carpet under the pingpong table

7:38 "it was at that moment he realised... he fxcked up"

I like the back of the house with the two doors and windows and that really nice patio. I wanna download it and gut it. Love the outside.

I love that you guys bounce of each other and credit each other as well!

I. Feel like this could be renovated into a university students dorms like how it was vibe in the tv room

This build and your comments on it was so funny. I'd love to see you renovate it completely!

Y'all should make a Fibonacci house! But instead of squares make it the number of tiles in the room. Would be a nice middle ground for tiny rooms and obnoxiously large rooms. (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,35,55,89)

Dude that kitchen is fucking beautiful, the blue was a great choice. This house gives me grandparents vibes. The romp room is for the grand kids!

If you did that "double the room size" challenge, you could put the 16x16 room in the basement. :D

the only reason i dont try these building challenges is it's already very challenging for me to put a suitable roof shape and windows conveniently in typical homes. With these kind of challenges it seems much more intimidating. However, James makes it look so easy that he always makes every exterior items suit perfectly all the time

I absolutely love the move contagion. Some of my favorite movies are ones like that. Especially if zombies are involved.

Tip, you could put a half wall in the middle of one of the giant rooms and have a kitchen-livingroom combo.

glad to see you're uploading more!

Every room is the same size/shape but use a number generator between 2 and 10 for the sides (e.g., 3×5) would be really fun!

Let’s just say this house is eccentric. It works for that and I think it’s absolutely charming

This could have been an opportunity for an upside down house! The rooms downstairs could have been bedrooms/bathroom and the massive room upstairs could have been an open plan living/kitchen area lol

I always feel like James’ outro is like in oscars where they put the music on to rush them off the stage, and his music is rushing him off to finish the video quickly.

For the different shapes option for the challenge could be defined by making how many walls, so start with 4 to make an enclosed room, then go to 5 by making a diagonal corner, then for 6 you could make one side of a square point like the shape of a house and so on

NESTING ROOMS! You start with a huge room, let's say 16x16, and then each successive room is smaller and also *inside* the room preceding. So the 16x16 contains an 8x8, and that contains a 4x4, and that contains a 2x2... And that contains a 1x1. Obviously they can share walls, of course.

There is only one way this house makes sense, and I kinda love it. This is an old (British) town pub, with the upper events area open (rec area), the downstairs main pub area (bedroom), they've knocked through the old toilet stalls to make a larger kitchen (that's where the plumbing is!) and kept the staff bathroom as the actual bathroom (too small!). The wood panelling and blue staircase also fit really well with that aesthetic?

I literally watched contagion yesterday out of curiosity haha it is quite accurate, especially the origin etc.
