Would love to see a build thats like "the most realistic house" that includes all the mundain things like utility rooms, hall closets, rooms that make sense for plumbing and electrical (like bathrooms back to back or stacked) stuff like that

James: I’m going for a midsize house - not a starter or a mansion *builds a 5 bedroom house with a parlor*

Not James building an upgraded blue suburban?! Lilsimsie is shaking 👀😂❤️ All jokes aside, STUNNING build!

If the surroundings weren't so sunny and lively, this house would look like every horror movie house from 80s/90s LOL

He did it! Base game for the Sims who made it! :D thank you for listening to the comments ❤️

I appreciate that you take into account how the house will be to play in live mode. I see so many builds on the gallery that look nice but are not functional.

one thing about james is he WILL have a balcony and/or a porch if he can. also, curved walls.

Agree that homes from this era and style are darker unless a homeowner completely rewires it. It’s too bad turrets/round walls aren’t more useable. I always imagine the turrets have a built in window seat that takes up the entire curve with cushions and throw pillows. The perfect spot to enjoy a cup of your favorite beverage while reading a good book and enjoying the view through the windows (the tops of which would be stained glass).

i don't leave comments often, but i've been really enjoying your content the past few months! i love that you've come back to super sim as well 🫶 keep it up James !

As a base game Sims player who has purchased no packs or anything in the Sims I can't wait to download this house, It's the best base game house I've seen yet!! Thank you for giving us base game players a nice house to download! 💕

I'm loving all the wrapping porches.😻 We really need quarter round roofs to go with the rounded walls. The "parlor" would be a nice sunroom!

The roof line is super impressive! Really love this style of house

i really appreciate all the base game builds lately since i've had to restart my sims collection from scratch. i only have cottage living, dream home decorator and tiny living lol.

I would love to see you use this same shell but for a completely different vibe of family; like Gothic witchy vibes, super modern, or super hippy/green vibes, not even necessarily only base game because some of those themes would be so hard in only base game

I love this build! Definitely adding this to my current save. I would love to see some builds with a single pack + base game too! Especially with some older packs (cats & dogs, get together, seasons, etc.) that we don't see as much anymore!

The porch cutout is called a sleeping porch and they used to sleep out there in the summertime where it was cooler in the 19th and 20th centuries 😊

I’d love to see more base game + One pack house builds. I only have a few expansions and packs, very difficult to find base game + extra house builds in ALL price and sizes. I like a bit of variety! Especially since my two kids (6&9) love to play but need a quick pick gallery build to start them off on their simming journey. 😅

I love it. The pops of color, with the white really pops. With a little creativity, base game can go a long way. Amazing build 🤗 I love the master bath setup ❤️🥰

I’ll definitely have to download this house. I usually note a ton of things I would change in builds but there are only a couple things I would change in this house. Maybe make that half bath a “pantry” and probably move the bench on the front porch. But it’s an awesome build!

No one embodies the phrase 'trust the process' like James does😂😂.

I absolutely love that you explain which lot exactly that you're building on!!! I wish all builder simmers would do that and that everyone would put it in the description on the gallery

A comment about the lighting. I heard that some people use the small saucer light and put it on top of the chandelier lights--or whatever light you are using. I think it really brightens things up a bit.

This is one of my favorite styles to build in, it's awesome to see you do this with base game. This came out beautifully. The perfume set makes sense, a reminder to add a spritz on the way out.

My fav youtuber all the way back when your yt name was the sims supply, I have been watching you for about 8 years since I was 13😭 Love you James!!!

Just the roofing on this is amazing, so creative. I am having trouble roofing with the new curve walls but you make it look easy. Also love the wrap round porches

I hate making roofs! There are like 20+ techniques you kind of need to know and understand to get them to mix and blend even decently and still (as demonstrated) it is a lot of trial and error. But when you know / can remember like 5 techniques... roofs become brick walls that bring my builds to a halt!

I’ve been playing the Sims franchise for over 20 years, and still can’t build like this! 😂😂😂 I love this house, James!

I love how the build turned out! Can't believe you did all this with just base game 😮 also just wanna say how amazing your content has been, it's literally the only thing keeping my interest in the sims going! 🌟

love this build!! i really like seeing non-budgeted builds so we get to see different items and styles!

I appreciate you building a style you don’t normally build! I love how it came out! The Queen Anne or Victorian homes are my absolute favorite. I would love to use this house to play in. ❤️

james u are one of the coolest people it the world :))))) ur videos make my day, i have been feeling quite bad at the moment so ur videos give me a distraction from it all so thank u so much

Love it! Now if you did a base game community lot, like a park, that would be 10/10 😍

Turned out great and love the nod to the OG Lady’s home

James: "I'll probably go for a mid-range budget so it's not a starter but also not a mega mansion Also James: **it will have a turret** ...surprised it is almost 200,000 simoleons

The formal living room makes me laugh because my gram has one and to this day it has a baby gate in front of it to keep us kids(we’re all over 30 now) out hahahaha

Just discovered your channel and I LOVE how you acknowledge the people who may be using your lots by leaving space for customization etc! 💕

It's like this home was built first in the area with all the land around it part of the grounds and then they were sold off by the heirs to make money. There! I've got my story now I need to download it! 😀

I am loving all the builds you have been doing lately! So fun to watch!!

Yes a Simsie Blue Suburban from James 😂 I love it! I actually would really love to live in this house.

whenever I hear the upbeat intro music, I know things get crazy and I'm here for it

I absolutely loved this video. James’ creativity when building is on full display, and I love to see it! I think this house turned out fantastic.

i believe that parlor comes from french "parler" (to speak) as it's usually a room you'd bring in informal-but-not-so-much guests to chat and spend time in a more comfortable setup than the formal sitting room :)

At this point, James should already have a degree in architecture.

As someone who mostly uses only base game (besides the island expansion pack for mermaids) I love this house! I like the blue exterior and the queen anne style that you see over on the east coast of the US. We don't have any houses like those on the west side so I would like to live vicariously through my sims and buy this house lol.

I love the older styles of homes being from New England. You did such a fantastic job with this hope to see more older styles homes again soon.

I love the challenge of a base game home! One of my favorite things to build.

James, this is so amazing! This shows what an incredible and creative builder you are!

This is nice! I normally don’t bother with base game houses because I find them so boring. I understand some players don’t have any packs but for most players who have been playing for years, we own every or most packs by this point. I find it hard to fill houses with only base game because even though there’s a lot of stuff in base game now I struggle to find enough things for a whole house without repeating things too many times. I guess I’m just not very creative 😂 this is a nice well rounded family home that is big enough to expand but doesn’t feel so big that it’s intimidating, if that makes sense. Sometimes I struggle to play in massive houses because following sims around or trying to find stuff in a huge house can get really annoying sometimes. I like that this is a big house that is simple enough that you won’t get lost trying to find everything, if that makes sense.

If we do get generations this would be a good Reno for base game and generations only! 😊

dude i am absolutely IN LOVE with this house. i was frothing at the mouth watching you build this

I need this. Thank you for your awesome build

This is such a cool build! I always struggle with filling larger build like this one, and I really like this style. It would be really great to see a base game (or all packs!) home that starts as a starter home, but has 2 or 3 versions so there's a starter, a next step (with maybe an extra bedroom and updated appliances) and then a final version when your sims have "made it".

Waking up to a another James build after watching James for 6 hours is the best thing

Awesome. Love the use of round walls.

Re: the price, this could be an great aspirational home for legacy play through as the family gets older/ bigger

I'm so happy you did this base game house, making a base game build look good is a talent and the creativity to fill every nook or that big weird shape bathroom though, wow. Looks great.

Love that it's a base game and not a starter home! Downloading immediately!

I love this! Reminds me of the original sim houses but nicer. Can’t wait to have my sim move in and gradually gut and modernise it.

Thanks, James!! Your layout is really cool and makes a lot of sence! I learn English with your videos, you are the best❤️

For me, big hanging lights fade out when in live mode? So I don’t mind placing hanging lights in every room😆😆

Yesss! Please do more base-game or limited-pack that aren't just base game! Love that it's a bit simple so people can add their own flair :)

Love it! It’s giving 90s ‘Sabrina the teenage witch’

Love this build! The floor plan flowed very well! I can never get my floor plans to flow! I always make open floor plans or it takes me an hour to do a decent floor plan and I usually have too many rooms

The "decorative" upper section of the tower would be a great place to put a few Sticker Storage Boxes to store various items. I always find places to put them that my Sims can't reach and stuff books and toys into that don't belong there. I usually have 4 boxes. One with a plant sticker for agricultural stuff like llama wool, bee wax, non-food plants (like mosquito trap seeds and bonsai buds), etc. One with a house sticker for household items like scouting trophies and other "safe keeping" type items. One box with a plumbob sticker for collectables, and a box with a heart sticker for miscellaneous other stuff.

Omg, the tower part looks just like Moomin house!

James' skills always awes me... you're awesome, James!

This is beautiful! Definitely one of my favorite house styles! Bravo, James!

Once again, James proves he can roof anything

I live in a old Victorian house like this I think this looks really good. Barely any lighting chandelier glitching and old Victorian lamps. And we have dark wooden floors. I love this build.

Hear me out.. What if, we do basegame shell challenges? It would be taking the basegame builds and we use Jame's pack wheels to renovate the house in those packs. ? could be fun?

just a comment: if a family in the past can afford that panneling -- they can afford make every siitting area in some intresting colors or themes. formal white, informal red with library, blue with floral motiffs etc. strict theme of all rooms make house look cheap in previos days. just a note for those who want make house like that more intresting but with purpose sorry for my english btw

I think I will love playing in this house. I did totally enjoy listening to your thought progress as you built this lovely base game home.

oooo, the thought and skill that went into this, the layout...... i love that dining room into the backyard or into that hella fun, cozy looking parlour. what a nice little spac

I'm so happy to learn things from you; this house shows perfectly what a great educator you are! Thank you!

Outside of the house, especially the part with the turret and the colour reminds me of Moomin house 😍💙

This turned out really beautiful! The time and patience it takes to build something so nice.... Well done James! Proof that with a little time and effort you totally can build an amazing NOT starter home!

I really have to admire your ability to just throw sh*t together and it looks amazing. When i build houses in this game it always ends up looking so basic no matter how eccentric i try to make it look.

I love how you take suggestions from your community. Loved the video!

Love this build James, it has everything you need, and will be easy to customise over time if you want and add some different bits from other packs and such. I’ll be adding this to my game for sure xx

Such a good build! I learn so much watching you. I like how you make the outside always look dynamic and interesting.

I think it would be a fun idea to make a glass house. Just windows all along the walls, glass roof. Maybe a modern eco look with lots of plants and “off grid” since trying to use all natural lights. 😂 am I dreaming too much?

James is such a practical builder. I can use this house. Base Game only. Yeah!

So happy to see this classic James Content. I love this stuff personally 🥺 More plz 🙏

James, I really like your build vids and of course all your gameplays too. Always looking forward to your videos!

It looks so nice! That floorplan is brilliant, very playable!!

28:14 very creative use of tables and clutter to fill in the space

This is beautiful! ... now renovate it to become modern using whatever pack :D oooh oooh! oooor use each pack once, could be a nice experiment how this base game house will transfrom with each pack.

This is great! Thank you for another great build. Love watching you work!

The exterior of this house is something else! 🙌🏼✨

watching this i cant stop thinking about this Queen Anne style that's recently up for sale in near my old hometown. It was one I used to love driving by as a kid, this nice blue exterior with rose motifs over the porch steps, big turrets and round sun rooms, the whole lot lol difference is, instead of all white and dark wood inside with just muted colors, the realtor's picture on Zillow are of these bright fuchsia pink carpets, flower covered walls, next to rooms with baby blue carpet and light blue walls, the inside of the turret is this odd dark purple panelling and purple flooring, it's a whole mess lol. it burned down at one point, then this guy came back and rebuilt it as close to original as he could back in 1898, it's stood ever since and other than the installation of more modern wiring/plumbing and central cooling, i'm pretty sure nothing else has been touched lol (there's even bright pink carpet in the bathroom!)

I love the blue suburban with the simsie touch of the steamboat (throwback!) James your builds are always so great

Can’t wait to play in this house! One of my favorite base game builds I’ve ever seen ❤️

One of the only things that I use base game furniture for is Queen Anne decor and when I want funky colored kitchen and bathroom appliances

This is GORGEOUS! Love it. ❤️

Hey James I noticed that when I use platforms on the upper floor, the roof starts to glitch out. Maybe that was the case here as well.. anyway great house😁 maybe you could do the same for a modern one?😊

Another brilliant build James!

I am going to download this for sure- it's the perfect size for my sim family!

I honestly think the darkness is fitting. As gorgeous as these houses are, their subtle eeriness can't be denied.

This is amazing! I feel like this is my most anticipated james build of the past 7 years
