the mum winning the lottery needs to be canon. she went from ikea basics to architectural digest and a pony.

This woman is a mom who can't say no when her kids ask for a new pet.

Poor James, the game will constantly keep moving horses into these houses in your save. Just call it Neigh-bourhood stories now

And next week, James re-re-renovates because all the kids age up to teens. 😂

James: this is the longest re-renovation Column's house:

Peak Semaj. "Okay, I'm just going to do a quick renovation. I don't care how it looks, I just want it to fit the family." One Week Later... "Okay, this looks like crap, let's ~really~ renovate this build. This shall be my new masterpiece."

Just a friendly reminder that the James Turner subreddit is less than 1,000 members away from getting Hotel build Part 4

With all the time James has spent on this house the more i want Lady Bigwallet III to be besties with this family! Or marry the single mom 😂😂 havent decided which

I love your use of T.O.O.L. and the existing stone walls to "expand" the lot. Such a clever use of the existing surroundings!

James not including an outside bin in the first renovation because the original EA build didn’t have a bin, then James STILL not including an outside bin in the re-renovation 🙃

james couldn't sleep thinking of his old horse moving into that house he had to build on a budget lol

I love when James goes all out. You can tell his heart is so big! It's a family he doesn't even play and they ALL have to be set up. ♥

I’m glad you redid this house. The inside matches the outside now. I like to see houses not constrained to a budget so we can see the full vision.

I am really happy you re-did this house, it is absolutely stunning and the hard work definitely shows :)

*A CANON EVENT* we need to make the mom of this family meet the guy from previous episodes who kept adopting kids. (James also renovated his house earlier)

I feel really stupid to never have thought of using spandrels as ceiling beams. I am TOTALLY using this from now on! It looks super good

James being realistic for 99% of his Builds **Doesn't give horse any kind of Wind/Storm/Snow Shelter at all**

That dining room is perfection! I really love the renovation on this house. I love that you ran with the game throwing a horse into this household. The lot ended up working nicely with it already being fenced in.

Taking photos of all the kids is so realistic. Trust me, you are more likely to get a photo of none of them looking at the camera than all of them looking at it.😅

I think the treehouse would have looked nice where the swings are because not only would it have added more for the kids but it would have made the garden look a lot less empty as there isn't really any landscaping. Also, I love that you made that whole space the garden because in real life it would be and it really does look like it should be that way to be real there are a few other lots that also have space around them that looks like it's part of the lot for use and it's annoying that you can't unless you use a mod.

THE YARN IS BACK EVERYONE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.. The yarn is back, LETSSSS GOOOO! 🎉🤣

The movers finally found and delivered their furniture and the deadbeat dad bought a horse at auction for the kids because he wasn’t responsible for caring for it.😂😂😂

I lived in a tiny, old European town as a kid, and in the 90s/00s it wasn't uncommon to still see horses downtown. Not really people on horseback, but a lot of nearby farmers would come visit in horse drawn carriages. Some people also kept chickens or even goats in their gardens. That being said, I love playing in different worlds in the sims and I love keeping lots of animals, so if that means adding ultra modern stables in San Myshuno or Del Sol Valley, so be it 🤣

Backpacks have been updated! They can now go into inventory and even Hold inventoy items. It's a functional backpack!

I'm amazed with the re-renovation! The living room looks so cozy. If you decide to renovate other houses in the Rags to Riches save file, I'm here for it

Once again, James proves that he is not only a master builder, but also a master decorator! I love how this turned out. And I love that a house in Windenburg has a place for a horse. I actually did that on the big lot here but I love that you’ve done it on this little lot. Bravo!🧡🧡🍁🍁

Looking forward to the apartment horses renovations next!! 😌 (In all seriousness this looks great, I love the new shape of the house and I wish the lot actually included the parts you accessed with T.O.O.L now!)

Would definitely love to see more renovations like this (or re-renovations) of the families in your save. It's like a game-made challenge - here, these sims live in this house, make it make sense. For a bit of colour in the kids rooms, you could always paint just one wall in each room - the biggest plain white wall without wainscoating - in a complimentary colour to the furnishings.

this family should be included in the Bigwallet let's play now haha especially since they have Bramble

Hey James, I just wanted to say the little timer for when you're talking about the survey to show how long it is is such a nice detail. For people who watch most of your videos and don't need to see it again it's nice to just skip past without missing any of the content of the video. I always appreciate it when YTers put those in for ads and whatnot, it really shows a consideration for the audience. It's such a small thing, but cheers!

Bramble gets the comfort he deserves!

The fact that James uses unique items in every build to make them look vastly different from the last build makes it so much more exciting to watch! The downloadability factor that Kayla goes for gets a little redundant, love her tho!

we need a let's play because at this point I am emotionally invested in this family

So when are we getting the apartment makeover with the horse 😅

If you end up doing more Tudor renovations, I’d love to see your take on an old carriage house! Loved the reno, very fun ^^

I really like this build! The slightly modernized tudor-style has really grown on me!

During the first renovation of this house, I was almost building alongside James. Lots of pausing in the video to get the generic layout and customized my own rooms and placements to how I liked it. I have the same feelings as LilSimsie does with doors and rooms where I dislike having doors at where the walls and corners meet. For the room at the top, floor plan is nearly the same as what James' has and I just did diagonal doors for the 2 rooms at the very end. Building with James, it's a nice way to learn and practice if you don't have as much creativity like myself. Replicating floor plans and modify as you go.

You should work more without budget! This turned out amazing!

yesss! Also love that you used that little triangle spot and added a fence. I have never felt the need to download TOOL before, but now I might actually consider it! Because the property lines in the sims can be a bit wacky. (and like, if you put 10% of a moveable item onto public grass irl, extremely few people care). So like, why not put the splash pool next to the house in the summer. I tried playing with neighborhood stories on, to make stuff more interesting and not be afraid of having aging on. But sooooo many apartment horses. I might just have to accept it as a canon sims thing. that horses can use elevators

As soon as I saw the triangular patch of grass out back I thought, that would be a great place for the swing set if you are willing to use the TOOL mod!

I love the re-renovation! The house looks so much better with the archways and beams!

Omg I would love to live here with my four kids, horse, and two dogs.

I think this version is loads better! I like the design choices and rafters and wall accents 😍

I clicked horse adoption off in my save because it got overrun with horses, it was the worst 😂

This is so well re-done.

I love the dark building styles it's how i build stuff so i loved this

This is So so good, holy moly! Your knowledge of architecture really shines through

I am so happy you came back to re-renovate this one lol I did not love this house in the end first time around but I do now!

Yay! The yarn ball returns!

For the renovations, you could play around with before / after shots to compare at the end. You did some awesome work to this house, a side by side at the end would be sick!

The double bookshelves in the lounge room when it couldve freed up so much space hurt my brain to witness!

Don't forget the prairie grass, not only will it help feed the horse, you might want to add that as a lot trait, along with geothermal, and good schools for the kids, but she also might find some help with the bills. A comment about the living room, how about putting the new painting TV above the fireplace, and a radio where the old TV was, then you can put a couple of pictures above the radio to make it like a gallery wall. Also, you can knock out the space under the stairs, and put in a roomba to help out mom. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't put in laundry. With 4 kids, she will forever be doing laundry!! And I just realized that it gets cold in Windenburg. You should wall in the stable that way the horse doesn't get cold. Plus, as a conservationist, she can grow some plants in a built-in greenhouse. And finally, since the kids look like they could be all the same age, they could be two sets of twins or quads. Why didn't you put them all in the same room? Or put two in one room and two in another. You could put the play tent in either the room or put it in the built-in greenhouse, but then again why worry about the play tent, they look like they would out grow it anyway.

Aahh so much relief knowing this got a re-renovation 😅

I grew up in a old pub built in 1752 and we do have stables in the garden, though they have been converted into a granny annex sort of vibe

so happy you went back to this house! so cute you added the pictures lol

The wall hole to the kitchen was the best part of this build, for some reason. Nice little surprise experiment gone well!

James, you should give it a try to do a Decades Challenge. It's really fun challenge :D

I really like how you designed the interior. Tasteful and not too cluttered. Though I did want a mirror in the upstairs WC, a minor change.

Some how this house reminds me of a craftsman Victorian house that my uncle renovated...I think it is all the beams on the ceiling. Great job James...hopefully her kids don't ask for anything else LOL.

I love the investment on this random sims family 😂

The main bedroom is spot on👍🏻. Everything looks awesome, james

Wow James now it looks incredible! The previous house reminded me of you LP in Strangeville with lots od babies 😂

I work in social work and This house reminds me of the style of group homes for children here in the US. Older homes with lots of rooms/ parlors that have been remodeled to accommodate lots of kids

I love how cozy and family friendly this build has turned out. Thank you for revisiting your builds like this, because it helps me learn how to optimize and improve spaces without making extreme changes.

This is amazing. How can I not loving it? I wish u can put 1 or two prairie grass around the house..

I recon you should have used the door off the side of the living room as the new front door. Pretty much walking into the dining room is so weird lol

the new TV that looks like a painting would have been perfect for this!!!

“i’m not gonna do too many spandrels because it’s annoying” *proceeds to put beams in every single room of house* 😂

My grandma lived in a house like that it was a grade 2 listed building and you could see all the beams and stuff in the walls so you’ve done a fab job 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for thanking ALL your members. Not all of us can afford to be top tier. Wonderful re-reno!

*The kids are practically the same age, James. Let 2 of them share a big room, use bunk beds! You'll still have plenty of room for desks, computers, and toys that way. It looks so cluttered upstairs now.* *Also, in the family description it stated the mum liked Boho style, someone likes painting and someone likes guitar. None of those happened!* 😂

i’m so invested in the builds

this has huge full house energy and its soooo pleasing

Kinda mad that he didn’t put the tv over the fireplace... BUT I LOVE THE HOUSE SO MUCH, ITS BEAUTIFUL! These renovation videos gives me hope, I adore them! Please do more!

The re-renovation looks fantastic! I would replace the range hood for the one from growing together (?) because it fits the style of the kitchen more and it looks like it goes with the stove, I would add a game console to the living room for the kiddos to play and finally I would add a laptop for mom (she might need it for her work).

Did anyone else realized that James forgot the ball for the horse so he can have some fun

james, making a family living room: black and white :> h i d e t h e g a m e s /lh the living room looks great! i just think a little more color could be nice but i really like it tbh and i love the cubby hole and the non-standard couch layout i always learn new build tricks from James :> so creative!!!

James: let us paint ceilings, Sims!! Also James: Are we really ever going to see the ceiling? If that's not me whenever I get what I want, I don't know what is.

The house looks so homey now, I absolutely love it!! Beautiful re-renovation! ❤❤ I also love the detailing you did with the ceiling beams, reminds me of my grandparents’ home ❤

I miss ur uploads 😭 I wanna see ur sims more often but I understand if you get too busy/ need breaks 💕

looks great, I love watching you put more effort into your builds

This is one of my favorite builds you've ever done, I love it! Gorgeous main bedroom and the hallway is so cool! (I do wish the kids rooms were bigger, but that's just personal preference)

This family and home need to be apart of the let’s play with all the work you have done

Kudos for suffering through getting all four kids in one picture! 😂

Thank you for the rerenovation, and for adding this to your gallery. I'm currently playing with this family, and now I can put them in a house made more for them.

James just changed everything for me with that half wall trick and the wall decor panels. Like I’m using that!

That house looks great. Loving the tudor petiod style. Next week - moving that family with two horses out of the flat into something more appropriate. 😂

i love how u spent so much time and effort renovating a house that you will never play in - it shows just how much you care about your sims world. i would love this house in my own game!! it's beautiful and so well thought out

This revision is so fantastic! So glad you did this second video.

The idea of updating homes based on what neighbourhood stories gets up to is so fun, I might have to start doing it in my saves. As if I need something else to distract me from actually playing my households 😅

It might've been expensive, but it was So worth it. The house looks sooo much better!

The inside of the house is amazing! i love all the details you put into it.

I really liked this renovation. The last one was a bit disapointing when relying on the pre-existing budget. But being able to go all out was great!

I adore this re-renovation ❤ and those rafters are wonderful! ❤ I really adore thie family. No one is more fitting for Bramble.

Candid photos are the best

I Love how the herbs in the kitchen include Lilly of The Valley xD

The only thing I think the house needs is a window in the downstairs bathroom, landscaping and a computer.

It would be nice if they would make curtains that fit the windows we have. Most don't fit at all. Either to big, small, or don't even come close to the frame of the window.

I like the arches into the dining room. Kinda makes it look like that used to be the stable, and it was remodeled to be part of the house and the entry was an addition.

This is such a beautiful house. You did a masterful job on the house details, the archways, etc 👌 ❤️❤️
