Demolish a park to build a mansion - Bigwallet LP 😂

Petition to make one of the old houses into a park - they take, but they also give back. 😂

You should totally do the onsen and then put the hottub on Kevin's and Regs balcony

I like the idea that they just temporarily moved into a rental home so they could have more space while their new Mansion was being built 😁

James: “the upstairs is empty but that will change” *Cottage living: “I think I’ve seen this film before…”*

I really hope you do do a dinner party for Reginald, Kevin, Sydney and Ava seeing as they're neighbours now. Which honestly, that's such a flex for Reggie and Kev. Buy up the park next to your house and build a giant mansion that dwarfs yours 😂

This is a house that will finally fit Reginalds name and money!

Just a tip, I would lock the sneak out windows for everyone except the one who owns the bedroom. When I use them, the parents would choose to go around the house and climb up the ladder instead of going through the bedroom door. Beautiful build!!

Omg i remember Reginald started out with absolutely nothing as a teenage boy with no social skills at all, and look at him now!! He has a family and a huuuge home 😊 Its just the Sims but im still happy for him!

Since you moved to the park lot, you could bulldoze one of the old houses and build your own improved park for Copperdale there.

You should definitely get a Butler or have a maid come clean. Also, the empty space in Reginald and Kevin’s room could have the computer desk there for a small office with book cases. I think their should be a third kid too.

I feel like Kevin can knit a lot of the other decor because it's helpful for his aspiration and it kinda goes with all there colors

I love how you did the attic staircase, tucked away and curved, makes the attic seem so mysterious

Since you got rid of a park you could remove the old home and replace it with a new park. Maybe even add a small teen hangout area so Addison and other teens have more places

I really like the build! I like how it also looms over Sydney's house too like, "Hey Sydney, look what I was able to build with all my money."

Maybe i’ll get lucky but James, you need to put a trophy case for all of Reggies trophies! They have the room now 😂😂 Also, I think the hot tub should go on the top balcony and the onsen where the hot tub is now 😋

In master bedroom you can put an office, and actually put a lot of junk in attic, like Christmas tree, decoration boxes... I didn't saw if you put a drawing table anywhere and it's part of the creative aspiration for kids. Also, you can put something like open theater (or whatever is called) for kids in backyard so kids can ask their friends for hangouts...

Would love to also see the family get a little makeover as well, maybe add multiple everyday outfits for Kev and Reginald? Can't wait to see how wacky the house becomes over time.

Reg and Kev should start a hobby of hitting the weekly flea markets to find eclectic pieces to fill their home the rest of the way. And maybe the empty space in their bedroom can be an author’s nook for Reg and a little knitting spot for Kevin so they can relax together doing their hobbies 😊

Storyline wise, Reginald (given his handiness and work connections) could've had this house's planning permission for renovation sorted in the background, which is why he and Kevin stayed in their old house for so long. They sold the old house for a bit of extra cash towards the pool house, choosing to temporarily rent for a couple of months while the final touches were put in

Since the park is gone this can be the “fun house” where all the kids prefer to hang out. Love the look of the Onsen where the hot tub is! That said the hot tub needs to be there somewhere-perhaps on the private balcony off of the main bedroom? Imagine relaxing in that at the end of a long day, taking in the view and unwinding with your partner. Perfection.

you should demolish the rental house and turn it into a park and spa or something. Kevin could go with the kids and do his yoga stuff while the kids play in the park, I think that would be pretty cute

Just judging by the thumbnail, I can already say that this house is much more fitting for the family, and it looks great too.

NIIICE CC!

Especially with the kitchen I’m feeling echo’s of Lady Bigwallet❤ Trying to imagine casual, Hawaiian shirt loving Kevin making omelettes in his signature love heart boxers in this grand house 😄 Great mix of fancy old money and incorporating their personalities thus far, love it! An in-law casita is an excellent idea for Reg and Kev to relocate when the next generation moves front and center. Looking forward to watching the home evolve with the family!

Kevin gets a knitting area and a yoga studio. Reggie needs a writing room/office! You could put it in the extra space in the bedroom or convert that more formal room if you didn't want to use the potential third bedroom! (Also the microwave will be good if they get another toddler.) Really glad you built a new build, I was excited to see what you'd do with more space.

I love that they moved in right next to Sidney and Ava 🤣

Sidney’s tiny house in the background kills me hahaha 😂😂 definitely feel like this house is such a better fit for the lets play though!

I love the house so much! Reginald is probably my favorite character, he started from nothing and now he’s at the top of the world. I think maybe he should open a new park somewhere for the community since he is such a looked up to person. Enjoyed the video, as always!

Rather than take up space with a new house at the back for them when they are elders. You could create a granny annex above the garage

The smaller home on the same lot didn't work out so well for the Cottage Living LP. Better to have a grandparent suite in the same house. I also recommend putting a small platform next to the door in the garage. Having to step down right at the door can be glitchy.

I love their new luxurious home! Perfectly suited for the big mover and shaker that Reginald has become! I think that you should use that empty space in their bedroom as an office area. Reginald needs a space for his writing. It would also give him a place to showcase all of his diplomas and awards. Maybe you can allot a bit of the attic space, or the spare room (if you decide not to have another kid) to a butler. This house is huge, and the family is going to be leaving plates everywhere.

Since the park is gone, Reginald should turn one of his previous homes into a little park (possible a date spot for the next generation as teens). Also maybe move Sidney and Ava into something bigger (maybe the rental) as they like to compete with Kevin and Reginald.

I love the idea of building a guest house in the back for them when they are older and continuing to use the home! It’s like they’ve worked so hard to get this family home and the children want to continue living there to keep the home in the family.

I’m getting major “Home Alone” vibes from this house. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait to see this in the LP!

James, please please please share this house on the gallery! I absolutely adore it! I can't wait to see Reggie & fam in this house 😍

I sure hope the basketball bug has been fixed… I’m not sure if you know this but for a long time if you had a basketball hoop on your lot your sims would constantly autonomously use it! They would cancel interactions just to shoot some hoops. I haven’t tested it in a while but also haven’t seen it being mentioned on the patch notes.

Definitely get the Onsen, that just fits this family so well! Also, the space in the bedroom you could turn into Reginals Office Area since he doesnt have one yet

I like to use the card table - kids, teens, and adults can all play, builds relationships with 4 sims at once, builds a little logic, and unlike Don't Wake the Llama a card game only lasts for a finite period of time. P.S. If you want to hide the sneak out windows on the inside, you can put a curtain in front of them - sims can walk through curtains.

So this is Kevins story after Home Alone. He's now bought his parents house where he's living with his husband, kids and cat

This makes me so excited for the next part of the let's play. I love the rags to riches struggle, but the family episodes that come later on are some of the best James does.

I’d love to have this on the gallery! I’m horrible at building big family homes & this one is perfect!

James!!! This is the most beautiful thing you have ever built. Really appreciate how far out of your comfort zone you stepped out + the CC! Love all of it. Good job.

I think this is perfect for the continuation of the family too. Like I can see Addison and breanne living here as adults with their families.

The lack of Desert Luxe in that backyard 😂😂 It’s ginormous. Congrats Reginald and Kevin.

I love that not only did you buy the park, but now Sidney will be your neighbor!

Did you know that hosting parties actually gets you like 2-3 levels of charisma for every sim in ur household

Sorry for the constant comments, but I LOVE Kevin’s knitting room in that it totally fits him!

You using deli and littledica’s collab CC makes me so happy. They did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB. 10/10 need to download this home.

I think it would be cute if Kevin knits stuff for kids' rooms (like little turtles or maybe toys)

I'm absolutely for getting a third child! It could be one that's already a toddler/child also, but it feels fitting that they'd move into this massive house to be able to expand the family even more

The attic stairs door idea is GENIOUS! LOVED IT!!!

You can totally rationalize the house the family is currently living in. I figure that Reginald and Kevin sold the small house, and then while their dream home was being built, lived in a rental for a little while. Makes total sense!

The second floor hallway looks like Addison was spray painting a rectangular piece of cardboard with black paint and got some on the floor. lol They should hire Hazel to design rooms in the future whenever they decide to make changes.

I love your building videos. It's fascinating not only to watch you build but more you explaining why you did certain things. I started watching your channel because of your build videos actually. Then I saw your let's play (it was Seasons, OMG 4+ years ago). And still, to this day watch every video you upload. And I just want to thank you for the work that you do. I know that your video will always put me in a better mood.

I really feel this style of home fits Reginald a lot! Good job, James! Thank you for another video 🙂

i absolutely adore this house, it fits the family so much :)

I love this house so much! Since Reginald is famous as well so this totally fits the vibe! Can't wait to see them in this house!

Really love your Let's play! I started watch when High school came. Little sad that I haven't been here from the beginning though. But I'm here now and you're not allowed to ever stop! 😂

I think the house actually does fit in despite not quite fitting in architecturally. In small town America, there's always a couple of families with full-on mansions (or McMansions, depending on the area). It actually reminds me of the small town I grew up in! Lots of small, single story houses that were often housing for the "help" and then a few giant, luxurious mansions.

I love this house!! You should definitely play with it with the next gen. This LP is so fun :) Maybe you could do an extreme rags to riches with one of the kids after high-school, they could work towards a restaurant with that Mod you used to make Dine Out awesome. Can't wait to see more episodes

I'm so invested in this family and seeing them getting this massive beautiful home makes me happy! Can't wait to see them move in soon

Absolutely love it! My fave is the playroom I think, everything looks amazing!

this house is so beautiful. it reminds me of Lady Bigwallet’s house at the end of her series, and also the grand estate at the end of the Seasons LP. amazing work James. so excited for the next episode!!

You could do a cauldron room if Reginald is still gonna practice magic

I hope to one day be rich enough to have a house this big. I'd fill it up with IKEA furniture, but living in a 1 bedroom apartment makes me salivate at the sight of all this SPACE.

Beautiful! So happy for Reg, he deserves this gorgeous space.

Yes!! I’ve been waiting excitedly for this video, and I’m so looking forward to watching this later!! 😆

I agree with putting the onsen outside, and adding in a little wall with an outdoor shower beside it between one of the sets of columns, then putting the hot tub on the outside balcony and a study area for Reginald in their bedroom. Also maybe another rocking chair in there or the hallway, just in case Kev is on the second floor, so he still has a dedicated room but he won't have to go downstairs just to enjoy his knitting. That would fill up the space nicely! You could also add a small bar and a grill in somewhere just in case they throw a party! Maybe near the pool area? Overall, I'm loving this house! I recommend adding the Seasons decorations box and a christmas tree upstairs as storage, simply because you'll want those eventually and that's a good temporary place for them, but also don't forget the thermostats! Definitely add one on each floor (even the attic, just in case) and the sprinkler system and fire alarm since you still have the kid's science lab. 😆

This is, IMO, probably one of the best of your LP builds. Love it. Another cool asset and addition to the Bigwallet clan.

I really like the idea in the future of Kevin and Reginald having a granny flat in the backyard so they can stay close to their family but everyone gets there own space.

I love watching your speed builds because you always go so in depth with your thought process throughout

As someone who lives in Georgia, I think you did an AMAZING job, i see houses like this all the time, while driving through wealthier counties

Love the contrast between the brick exterior with the black-shuttered white windows. And what roofing magic!

The kids rooms look so good! I love Addison's. Obsessed with Reginald building this giant house next door to Ava and Sidney!

Love the idea of Reginald and Kevin staying there as grandparents!

"Easy to catch up" ?? I 🤣😂🤣😂 I started watching when Banana moved to Sulani and discovered you had a whole lot more. It took me almost a year to catch up. But I'm glad I did. The Bigwallets and their escapades are my favorite!!!!!!

This house fits well for Reginald & Kevin family, much needed space and cant wait to see you play it with them. Love the home 🥰 also good to see you use more colors James 😊

holyfrick. i’ve never been this early. 😂i actually really like this home. always love your builds tho!! nice work. please continue uploading always🫶🏽

The fact you can see Sidneys small house next to your mega mansion from the window is hilarious

The second entry would be perfect for a garage granny flat for when the kids grow up.

I love this!! So excited for the family to move in

A butler's room for one of the empty rooms, perhaps? And a small home office space for Reginald maybe in their bedroom, since he's also a writer.

Love this house! You should probably bulldoze one of the old houses and turn it into a park 😅

I think the idea of Kevin and Reginald living in a separate house on the property is a great idea they could be active grandparents in the next generation. Then the playroom would really be put to great use. No nanny needed. Love this build and your gameplay style. I like the onsen next to the pool. You have plenty of room for a nice size office. A music room. I look forward to the story development and how this home developes.

James, you've used a lot of the "All Square" wall texture. For tiles with doors / arches / windows find and the matching "I've been framed" swatch and use that.

I love the way you decorate kid's rooms and play areas! They always look so unique and cute and imaginative!

The style of the house with the shape, the bricks, black and white accents make me think of sims 1. It has strong sims 1 vibes with the balcony as well as the pool...! Love it.

I love this build! I hope you will upload this (or a version of this) to the gallery soon. This house would be great for my current family. Thanks for sharing!

Love the build!!! I can't wait to the family in it! And the extra room should be a butler room maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

I gotta say, Deli and Little Dica's packs have converted me to a cc fan. The updated wall paint colors alone are so good!

This build is pretty much perfect. Excited to see them move I'm pretty annoyed with the weird partial walls around the shower bathtub in the rental. Every time that was on the screen I would just yell why!

This is much better, this feels like a well rounded house they can grow into so they don’t have to keep moving. I definitely agree with other comments saying you should turn their old house into a park when they move into this one to replace the park you got rid of to build new house.

Wow this house is STUNNING! I would love for you to upload it to the gallery even if you normally don't with LP builds.

24:24 You should buy two plants and then place them in those awkward platform corners on either side of the back door to make it look better as there is really nothing in that hallway.

You should make the kitchen inspired by Cara Delavingne’s blue kitchen. Her home is super eccentric!!

I don't think I saw a mailbox? Love the house!

Remember to lock computers and is there an office for the adults? If not you could add it to the massive main bedroom.

That kitchen definitely gives me Lady Bigwallet vibes, love it!

This house looks like every popular rich suburbanite family home from the 90's and it's amazing! Thank you for finally giving me a name to the style! The yard is so big, you could deck it out (lol with a deck and bbq) with the movie hang out projector and little campers kit. Also can i suggest you add in some big landscaped trees like every 6squares or so and then have a dainty little tree in the middle? Here in nz people often use cherry or apple blossom trees. There's desks from the nifty knitting that are colourful and some crafting clutter from parenthood - you could make that extra room like a "craft" room that's essentially unusable except for maybe a kids craft table and maybe easel. Get some cross stitch going in there too lol
