wouldn't it be sooo nice if the mini fridges could be placed under kitchen counters tho?

The pond decals would've been a nice extra touch to this: Some fireflies over the fire pit, some ducks swimming in the pond etc. Just to show that extra level of detail we could add now that we definitely couldn't back then.

I remember watching this build

Officially a tiny home AND has a swimmable area? The lake house dream has been realized! Love it. Bee box is a bit random though.

I love seeing you remake an old build so many years later with all the new updates. Would love to see more videos like this. Maybe download and renovate some old buildings?

Hi James I just wanted you to know that I passed my final English exam yesterday. English is my second language and watching your videos really helped me, so thank you so much 💚

oh wow i didn't realise the build was that old.. how time flies. thanks James for coloring my days throughout these years!

Fun fact, bin interactions don't work when your sim is sitting down! For some reason. Both bins should be functional though

The little rock path and pool turned out to be so pretty!! Loved all the landscaping in this one!

This really feels like an old school Sim Supply video, I love it. Maybe some more recreating old builds videos, or renovating old builds??? Thanks for doing what you do James ❤️

I'd add things like ducks/swans and such. Give it a bit more lively.

This turned out amazing. It's so cozy. I'm going to make it a rental. Just going to add fireflies. 😊

Your original Lake house was the first sims build video I watched, that was the beginning of my obsession with sims 4 build videos, now its a hobby I do all the time, I have so many sims 4 builders on my youtube lol, thank you!

I have been playing the Sims for so many years and only JUST NOW realizing you can make a tiny home bigger without cheats by putting it on a diagonal?!?!?!

It would be so cool to have like many units on the same lake! ❤ So cool and cozy James!

The original lake house build was the first video of James’s that I ever watched!! It also got me really into the sims wow lots of memories

I would really love if the sims team actually added lake homes I mean if they're going to keep giving us woodsy worlds at least give us lake houses it would also give more opportunities to use the stilt foundation.

I've been looking for a tiny house for my new generation so this came up at the perfect time!

Yesss!! I was hoping to see you do this again.. the first video I ever saw of yours was the original lake house. 🎉 Well done!

I'm shocked - six years ago?? It doesn't seem that long😭

You could wedge a little fridge underneath the counter on the right. Just leave it out a little bit further than the counter so it’s still usable.

It makes me anxious thinking of sitting on that deck of me falling of or everything around me haha. Love the island and swimming pool area, it looks like a really nice natural spring

I saw the preview for this come up in my suggested videos and wondered if YT was glitching, as I was very sure the lake house video was not new. 😅 I was, happily, wrong. Love seeing re-builds, and builds in general 💛

So awesome seeing old builds being rebuilt with most recent updates. This was STUNNING. I would love to live here ❤. Amazing job

The pool looks like one of those natural swimming pools I keep seeing online!

It's incredible what James accomplished with so many fewer tools than we have now. Good Job, James! That original lake house was great! In the new one, I would have made it a tad but wider and used a smaller desk but all and all, it's a cute little lake house.

omg! your Lake House build was the first video of yours I saw and I thought it was the most beautiful build ever! this is a full circle moment

This is SO nice. Could be such a cute rental for a couple's getaway, could even try and make it off grid!

Oh wow that tiny lake house is perfect! Very pretty scenery as well

I genuinely love watching you build and your thought process and also watching your LP’s. I’ve gone back and watched the entire Growing Together LP(to review and catch up) but now also watching your rags to riches LP in Cottage Living! You and Deli are my absolute top faves to watch!

I think the original lake house was the first video i've seen from this channel. I'ts nice to see how much the game evolved. I remember a build using the white basic shelf, it's crazy that something so simple was so revolutionary at the time.

I remember looking at the old version when I started watching James more, cause I got the game. I was so excited to see how to work with terrain tools... only to find out, they did not exist back then 😅

This made me so happy, I commented literally only just the other day how amazing it would be if you remade this build! Awesome as always, the pool area was a stroke of genius.

the nostalgia 😭 cant wait to see the updated version!

Hi James! I’m new to your channel… but I watch your partner and she is an amazing builder , too! I’m in the USA and I grew up in NY State on Long Island near the ocean. I’m watching your old video of a tiny house. Maybe some may qualify as “ Small homes” instead of “ tiny”. I’m really hoping you see this as this was a while ago. But, as I watched you (and others) struggle to build the bathroom, and an idea came to me! Because we spent all summer long on the sandy beach… our parents didn’t want all that sand tracked in. So, people put showers on the wall on the outside of the house… some had a cheap little enclosure, which you could. Then your poor Sims can shower and not be stinky without squeezing a shower into the bath. Just a thought! Luv your builds! 😉🤓

Love how he makes something so nice looking and then 2 seconds later changes it to something else. Like to me the original windows at 6:01 looked good. The original fencing at 4:18 looked nice. The cabinets being brown at 9:19 looked nice. The front door at 11:05 looked better imo. The planter in front at 22:55 was dope. Outside of that, I’d change the back deck to be less crowded, make the TV so much bigger and switch to a smaller desk for more space. Love how Semaj just changes things so quickly though lol 😂

anytime James posts I swear the sun shines just a bit brighter 😂

This ols tiny lakehouse was the first video on this channelI watched. Sticked with you since. Thx for your hard work and nice builds all these years

Lovely build James, definitely awesome to see how much the newer tools have improved the scope of imagination for builds such as this. Hope you have a wonderful day! 💜🌿✨

A little constructive criticism, I would have put the dining chairs outside, then forgoing a dining room on the inside, and left off the recliners if you could, I can ask you to put a fishing sign on the small island, and a pee bush somewhere. If you made that small island a little bigger, your sim can go camping.

In love with this places I'd wanna live here. Also that rug and swatch for it is my fave!

Did you not test the 'jump into lake'... or isn't that possible at all? 😂Love the use of those windows to make it more spacious. And how you created the lake so the sims can interact with things there is awesome. I want to live there ☺it looks supernice! But the previous build you based this on, looked also incredible! Considering what you had to work with back then, mad respect!

it's stunning!! I love the vibe

This is such a cool build! I really like the roof line

Absolutely love it... the next refurb should be your legendary "cliff" house. ❤❤❤

the og build was the first ever ts4 build video i had ever seen, it’s so nostalgic

I don’t leave comments on anything, but this is literally my favorite build you’ve ever done. So I had to share😂. Love this. 15/10. 😂

i remember watching that build before and loving it!! im so glad you recreated it!

I would add this to granite falls. A nice little house to have a holiday in.

Love this build - so creative!

That lake house build was the very first video I watched on your channel! Crazy it's been 6 years of watching, and loving, your content!!

The front window looking directly into the bedroom is...a choice. 😂 This build is adorable!!

i love this! i tried to make something like this but i couldnt figure it out then so thank you for the inspiration

Love this! The house looks so cozy!

What an amazing update to a fantastic concept. Brilliant build as always james.

ahhhh! the lake house was the first video of yours that i remember watching! super cool to see the updated version!

So cute! I want to add it to Granite Falls as a vacation rental.

wow 6 years seems like such a long time ago, back when James was sim supply. i remember this being the first video i watched on this channel , so hyped for this

I love that you redid this build. I think it might have been one of the first vids I saw of yours.

I ❤ LOVE this build! I also used to do lakes, ponds, and castle moats with the pool tool... still do for some effects. I probably got that idea from you long ago. How awesome that it's a tiny build but so gorgeous and usable. If I were rich, I'd take this video to an architect and have a real version of it made! Instead of Windenberg I wish we had something like a world like Colorado or Tennessee.... someplace a little rural and with a variety of elevations. The werewolf world might work without the werewolves. The water plants will also help hide pool edges and aren't so expensive.

I'm so glad you decided to re-do this lot. I remember watching it and I was so impressed I downloaded it and played in it 😅

So glad you re-did this one. I still have the original downloaded!

this is such an awesome build, I love your creativity!

Aw you took out my favorite parts of the original video. I loved imagining I was in this world, the feeling of finding a lone house hidden within a lake, bordered by the rocks and overgrowth of a lush forest, walking down the side path through the trees, guided by lights and nature to the entrance of this house. The original lake house felt like someone built a house within an existing lake, but this one (for me) feels like someone built a house in a ditch and decided to fill the ditch with water. I did like the incorporation of a "swimmable" lake, but it was a little weird that you had to walk through water if you wanted to use that bonfire. I imagine you could have emulated a bridge using the stilt foundation like you did for the house, and maybe even expanded the small island for more of a mini picnic/campgrounds area

Omg I remember loving that built so much.

This is so much fun! Thank you James for keeping my days less dreary 💛 I look forward to every new video

Love seeing how much your style has changed!

The old video is one of my faves soooo I'm very happy about this, thank you ❤

I absolutely love this. definitely going to have to download

In love with it :D so cute!

You could use this style/idea to build a small resort with multiple “rentals” or “vacation homes.” That could be pretty cool! And so fun to decorate and put together.

I vividly remember when the original video was posted and watching it the day you released it. Nice to carry on the tradition six years later :D

You are outstanding with building!!!

OMG! Last week I watched the video of you making the one from 6 years ago! I was hoping you'd make a new one! This turned out great!

strong vacation vibes with this build I love it

I think I'd resize those bedroom side tables one click down. Also, one of the new updates allows you to color ceiling tiles!

The lake house was one of the first videos I remember watching of yours. It's cool to see it again. :)

I posted this suggestion on the subreddit a while ago, I’m suuuuper happy to see james redo it! ❤️

I'm obsessed with this build!!!! I wish you used lights under the house so that the white underside looks intentional! Can even change the color, like LEDs.

Damn I was so impressed by the first one 6 years ago and yet this one is só much more impressive. Well done 🎉

pretty nostalgic, I found out about your channel with the first lake first video and now you are building a new one

Anyone else was shocked to hear this was 6 years ago? I feel like I just watched it yesterday.

This is so pretty!! I remember the old house too!

Oh wow, I watched the old one just a couple days ago so this is great :)

Ngl the OG lakehouse was my favorite build of yours so I'm hyped that you redid it!

This whole build reminds me of a fancy vacation home.☺

This build looks really good James. It has some really nice features. I would get it.

Crazy I think that was the first video I seen from you and been hooked ever since lol

I realize how long I watch James when he brings up old builds and I remember them 🤭

I loved these video's back in the day

omg i remember watching that "lake house" video when it first came out. I even had that lot in my world for a while.

Yes I've been waiting for this! I love the original build.

wow, that looks amazing!!!! tough no one will know with those gallery pictures lol

Oh I hate I'm seeing this when the gallery is down. I can't wait to add this gem in! Great job!!!

I remember this build, this inspired me the build all my lakes like this 😂

I was hoping you'd redo this build. Yey 👏👏

Wow I’m pretty sure this was one of the first videos of yours I remember watching. Crazy to think that was so long ago!

Omg I love it. I have been waiting for this you rock,

Hey, James! I'm loving your Bigwallet LPs but I also love this video. Your builds are so good and I'm so glad you decided to rebuild the lake house especially! It looks amazing! Edit: I was so excited when you said you'd be doing this one; I'd had the same thought. But along with rebuilding more of your old builds just to see what you can do now, the gallery pictures for this made me think... what if you chose some random builds off the gallery (or just some of your own old ones) based on the fact you can't see the lot at all and show them off? lol Then maybe renovate if you felt like it. IDK it could be interesting! Also, I think it'd be cool if you did another shell challenge; I always love those. OR better yet, I'd love to see what you'd do with the "build a house using the premade rooms" challenge. OR maybe rebuild some of the EA houses? Everyone does the iconic ones, which I do enjoy (I'd actually love to see you renovate the "Perfect Home" that you built into the Landgrabb's new desert mansion) but I'd like to see what you'd do with the "shipwreck" in Sulani or the "plane crash" in Strangerville!

This might be my favorite build youve ever done!
