I think James is the only person in the world who remembers that this lot exists.

This build makes so much more sense as multiple apartments than one weird house. I love how you transformed it!!

I have literally never actually seen this lot before. They clearly wanted it to be at least two apartments and then realised they couldn't achieve it at that time with the limitations they had and then never went back to update it. This makes so much more sense.

James is in his apartment era and I love it

I've owned Cats and Dogs from the day of release and I don't think I had ever actually seen this house before. I need to probably quit just bulldozing lots before building on them.

Could you please do apartments inspired by traits? Like a loner Sim having heavy courtains and a single chair at their table or a self-absorbed one having lots of mirrors everywhere

I love that James is playing with more textures and colors now, not everything is white black and grey. Also loving these apartment builds for the new pack

This build does make sense, but was limited by TS4 capabilities at the time of release. It's supposed to be an old fish products processing factory (you can see a sign on the wall at 4:52), abandoned, of course, which is why half of the second floor doesn't have a roof. The original roofing is the one the first floor has, while the second floor has new, modern shingles. Also, it seems to have been renovated maybe by the Sim that lives here, on a limited budget, hence why you can still see some "beams" coming out of the second story into the walls, and different sets of stairs around the building. Overall, whoever built this made a pretty decent job, and had a great idea in mind but lacked the tools to execute it properly. Props to them.

This is a build that never made any sense, yet had so much potential to be cute! And James just fixed it all to make it make sense!!!

James: sometimes kitchens are just too big and I think this is one of those times James 10 seconds later: this will actually be a relatively small kitchen 🤔

I like how multi-unit homes lend themselves to more experimental decor, because you don't want to decorate each one the same. I love all the personality James has been adding to these builds!

It's so funny to me how James equates pets with dogs only, since cats don't need bathtubs yet the do need litterboxes 😂

I love the idea of the neighbors simultaneously being in the outdoor bath and hot tubs having such different experiences 🤣

James: You have to have a bath to have pets. Cats: Am I a joke to you?

The weird nooks and cranies and balconies, awkward spaces are making this build so realistic :) so many buildings irl have this kind of vibe.

James is such a dog person that he turned extreme cat lady Catarina Lynx’s house into apartments for dog owners. 😂😂😂😂 in the studio apartment that had no room for a bath, I was thinking you would stick a litter box in the courtyard and have it be a cat apartment - nope outside bath so it could still be a dog unit. 😂😂😂 I don’t know why this was so funny to me.

I love how you don’t make your builds perfect! They feel organic and the way some furniture doesn’t fully match is really refreshing. Like they are builds I’d love playining in!

James roasting the Sims team build at the start 😂 and he's right to do so

I love how everyone is just preparing themselves for the new DLC. Either by building or renovating existing houses to become apartments haha. Absolutely love it! Can't wait for this pack to come out and see every KZfaqr go insane with it for weeks.

Loving all the apartment ideas and excitement people are showing and am I the only one who thinks the sims in the studio saw the other apartment had a hot tub got jealous and decided to improvise lol....but nono it’s totally for their pet lol

I always find it funny when James gets leery about his color choices. He actually has a good eye for color, but it's like he's second-guessing what colors are "supposed" to go together. "I'm not sure about the yellow and green", he says. It actually looks really good together, the soft yellows go well with the mint green and he put down the brown carpet that complements the greens and has some yellow tones that pulls the room together. I wouldn't question it if I saw it in an Architectural Digest.

I’ve renovated this house so many times but have never been satisfied with them. Apartments are perfect! ❤

i completely forgot this lot existed, glad it's finally going to be usable lol

How have I NEVER seen this house? Ever?!

That could have been such perfect catios!! At least one apartment should have had a cat tree 😻

I set myself a challenge to convert a Maxis bldg in each residential world to apartments; I ended up making the museum in Brindleton into two large family units, though I wish I’d remembered about this lot instead!

Final boss of apartment builds : you and Deli recreate the apartment complex you built in the sims 3 from your first video together. That was one of my favorite videos when it came out, but it would probably remove 10 years off your life if you tried it again😅

I swear I was JUST looking at this one and thinking it could be at least 2 apartments with cool industrial features and balconies to take in that gorgeous view.

i love how when you do your renovations you dont chage too much of the original build, it makes it so realistic

Sims will have you thinking that chess tables are a normal thing to have in your home

I’m turning the museum in willow creek in a triplex. One apartment at the bottom and two on the second level but the entrances for those are on the main floor. I can’t wait to play in it with the new pack.

Apparently, there’ll be loading screens between apartments, so if that’s the case, the rooms / objects shouldn’t be visible and not cause too many issues. Having said that, A) decorating is cool, but also would be nice to do it according to the Sims’ likes and dislikes (either decorating once they’ve moved in or making Sims specifically for the particular place) and B) it’s “nice” to pretend the Sims who will move in, will have their own decos.

It's very rare that I look at a build in the sims and have no memory of EVER seeing it before. Like since when has this building existed?!?

God I love how hyped every creator I follow is for this new pack. I CANNOT WAIT for your lets play its going to be so unhinged!

I love this idea! Then in the let's play Laird will buy them all 🫶🏻 I want the weird house of Judith ward as a luxurious apartments next! 👍🏻

this is what makes me most excited for the new pack. reno-ing existing builds or gallery builds is one of my fav things to do in the sims 4

I absolutely love this building. What drove me crazy was that you didn't extend the roof. All I could think about is that when it rains or snows, it will fall into the building. Because the first floor is open to the elements.

More industrial apartments! Love it, I like them more decorated, that way we can just make adjustments for the one we play in, and move some other sims in the others

I had absolutely no idea this lot even existed 🥴

I had my sim family play in this house for a long time and I fully renovated it to have 4 bedrooms and I loved it so much, I turned that upper balcony space on the 2nd floor into another bedroom.

I'm so here for James playing with colors. His builds have really evolved lately!

omg I'm so happy we're reno-ing this lot... I have never known how to fix this lot into just one home, but this makes an EXCELLENT apartment lot. amazing build, James! 💚

I don't think I have ever clicked on this build ever. This is such a great idea. I would love to see starter actor duplexes in Dol Sol Valley as I am sure was intended when they made that world

I love this build. I would love to see a big wallet family compound using the multi-family under one roof idea

Semaj popped off with the color in this build and I’m living for it

As part of my Brindleton Bay Renovation Project I turned that building into the new museum. For a number of builds I've made in anticipation of For Rent I've left a number of them as empty shells, partly to make use of the new packs BB stuff, but also dependent of who actually moves into them, so they can be more personalised.

I live in an old Victorian built in the early 1800's, it's three stories and each floor has been turned into an apartment; we live in the second floor apartment. It's super awkward. Weird corners, our bedroom is weirdly long, 4 different kinds of flooring throughout. One very long hallway. It's a two bedroom with a "bonus" room -- basically, one room leads right into the other. We use it as an office. We also have 14 stained glass windows in our apartment alone (on one floor). They are cute but they are old and it is cold. You can tell the bathroom used to be much larger. We have an old soaker claw foot tub that's adorable and I hate it lol. So when building older houses converted into apartments, feel free to get a little weird, because they are. I live in Vermont, USA, btw.

This build is so clever and gives off comfy vibes for such a small space. Maybe you could post it to the gallery? Even people who don't buy For Rent right away could use it as a roommate lot since it uses packs from before the expansion release.

This turned out so great! I'm totally going to use it, but I'm going to put a glass roof over the 2nd floor balcony! 😊

Love all the apartment builds!

I love the way you talk through all your renovation choices and reasoning as you go. I just love following people's creative thought processes. It's always fascinating to hear the why of how we decide to do things in different ways.

I’ve literally never seen this lot before and I’ve had cats and dogs since it released.

I love Brindleton Bay and NEVER knew about this building. This video made me realize I always go to the empty lots and never looked at the prebuilt ones. This lot is so weird!

I'm also excited for existing house to be renovated. All the contents make me so excited for the release next month 🎉

I swear I’ve been waiting exactly for this pack since I first saw this build back in the day. Glad the lot can finally make sense 🎉

Personally I mostly watch Sims builds just for entertainment. I do download builds occasionally but not always. And I prefer the builds to be fully decorated and customized. Not only is it more entertaining but it gives me more ideas on how to decorate my own builds

Ragdoll Refurb is one of the most criminally under-renovated lots in The Sims 4! It has so much potential! 🎉

This video singlehandedly reminded me that the exterior trims feature exists, thank you. Love this build idea too!

I'm excited to see how this works with your gameplay. Laird Bigwallet is going to be epic.

4:46 I was like why would they pee downstairs tho! But then I heard what he actually said 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ in hindsight, they could pee through there too😂

I turned this lot into two apartments for my sims a while back... an artist and photographer upstairs with lots of plants, and the landlady lived downstairs in a much more fancy and neat style... loved that game a lot (might redo it with the new pack)

I love this renovation so much because you built on what was existing (lamps/ windows) and added onto that!

can't wait for you to turn Hazel Monet's 3 house lot in Del sol Valley into 3 actual houses

Love this build, super cool James!

This build is awesome!!! I love the use of color! We’re in a new James era 😂

Love your builds and all the thought process behind them!

Really cool video James, would love to see you refresh more 'weird' lots like this ready for the new pack!

This build is seriously amazing! I'm obsessed.

Wow!!! Love the renovations!

Ohh I love this lot! I converted it to a Jungle Adventure-themed store with upstairs apartment and "Cafe", just for looks, but the store was functional. Cool to see you renovate it to apartments!

I lived in a cute tiny studio that had no TV, so having two TV’s in that studio feels funny yet luxurious.

These apartments are so gorgeous and cool! I really love this style!

I initially discovered Deli and started watching her then discovered you through her and I am glad I did,between the 2 of you you hit all the notes of all my varied tastes. I love your builds

I really like this! I hope you do other apartment renovations 😊

This a solid renovation! looks great!

Love love love this idea and the final build :)

love the renovations of old houses! I think in every world should at least be one apartment unit :)

I think the mudroom is really cool. The pawprints are a cute touch I think. Probably because living in Oklahoma, homes do sometimes have them. My home growing up had a tiled foyer area

Great idea to include items for pets in the apartments. Of course the Sims will interpret that to mean horses.... You need to make an apartment building with a stable on the side 😂

I like how different each apartment is and the layout is very good. 👍

I love the studio apartment ❤ love James getting into colour.

I love all your videos, I barely comment and I don't know why, but I'm so excited to watch your next let's play (and on and on with the Bigwallets!) keep up the amazing work!

I love this renovation! Definitely downloading it for my game. ❤

Really like how these all turned out! The 2nd one is my favorite

I completely forgot this lot existed. This is perfect!

We need more! I love this idea

I love all of these, and want to live in the downstairs one with blue walls irl

Such a great build!! I would Love to See you make some Apartments for more people. Like 5-8 Sims. Or at least 4, so there would be 3-4 bedrooms.

I am enjoying these apartment builds. I hope in the future packs, we see some interior sliding doors or pocket doors for bathroom, closets etc. I Think this house/warehouse was alway interesting.

Great build James

Thank you for all the videos and inspiration. Watching you build and then play in (some) if these builds in your LPs has made the sims so much more enjoyable for me. I even built my own apartments and I actually really like them! I hope you can take a look sometime in the Gallery. Afflista Ridge Apartments By JoNik018

Love this build, but doing an enclosed courtyard is CRIMINAL when you have that amazing view of the bay! It could've been an amazing open space and upstairs balcony!

I just rewatched Devon Bumpkin renovating that house. I never live in the port in my game but I'm always startled at that lot. What were they thinking?

This is one of my favourite builds to renovate while still trying to keep the original factory vibe. It's so unique 😊

Great transformation!

I renovated this same lot into apartments a couple days ago! Love the multiple entrances on the bottom, that's genius!

I love the picture TV. It looks good sized up once too.

That was the perfect building to turn into a little apartment building. 2 Thumps up!👍👍

I think you should go all out on all the apartments because in the pack you can visit neighbors, break into their place, and also might want to play with each household sometimes.

If I were you James instead of the Books in the Downstairs studio against the separating/wardrobe wall seperating the bedroom I think a Vertical Planter would have been a great addition there. OR since it is Brindleton Bay, Great place for a cat tree.
