as well as no door, it also seems to be floating a level above the rest of the house (edit: upon further look, i actually have no idea how this room is positioned, the grid lines up with the rest of the floor, but the wall height does not? it's like half a tile from the rest of the building? which is impossible?)

i am always in such awe of how james can always tell what build strategies and items are used even if he can only see a little. this is such a cool build, great work

The terrain tools are pretty good if you can work them out, but they're a little clunky haha

This reminds me of how back when I was a kid and played the Sims 1 I used to sit down and watch the intro excitedly each time, and they built this funky looking house - so I tried to mimic the build myself (and back then I didn't even know screenshotting was a thing so I just saved, closed the game and reopened it to see how the house looked each time lol!)

You know I've always known you had a bunch of genius to you but this right here is next level genius. You could be an architect or an advertising exec or anything with your set of skills. I'm just grateful that you decided to entertain us!

The music in this video is so cheerful head-booping. Would love to see this house as a shell challenge for James. Remix into his own style

I work from home 3 days a week and honestly don't take many breaks but when I make myself take one it usually includes watching a few minutes of James. This was amazing how much you made your house look like EA's house. I would love to see a renovation of this with your touch. Thank you for filling my life with fun.

That music at 15:00ish is amaaaaazing!😆 I think this would be really fun to renovate. Nice job!

please renovate this build, it would be fun to watch

As weird as the layout of this house is, I'm actually very inspired by the multi-level aspect of it. I NEVER touch terrain raising tools so maybe it's time...

How does James have the ability to not get bored while building this?!! Please can we have a renovation now with your own style on this build?

Definitely a very cool build challenge! I loved watching you put this together. If there’s any other weird builds from early sims promo, I’d love to see you try it. Even the houses from the sims 1 and 2 intro/trailer videos!

I am so blown away right now. James showing who is the SIMS 4 building boss for sure!

Can you please do an interior and garden renovation to this to make this build even more “perfect?” I would love to watch that

this feels like the kind of house that would be used in a reality tv show

James always manages to have the most creative build ideas, and the actual execution is just next level!!!

As others have also said I would like to see a video of you decorating it how you would like!! Awesome job of recreating it though 👌🏼

I like how much stuff the promotional picture utilises!! The terrain manipulation, split levels without the actual splitting, and the position of greenery is phenomenal!!

This by far is one of the best builds I've watched. I love how almost exact you came to the original. Thanks for this!!

This is genuinely astonishing, just really blew me away how completely right on it was with the picture. You really are a true artist with such a unique eye and attention to detail. More important of all though, to me, is you’re really fun to watch and you brighten my day. There are a lot of great builders out there, but I you are charismatic and a good laugh, thank you! 🙂 You and Deli both make my day!

I would love to see you make over this lot in the way you would do it please 😃

Watching you slide the photo for comparison is so satisfying lol Build challenge where people send you a screenshot of their weird builds and you try and match the screenshot 😂

The pathing in this house is just straight out of my bad Rollercoaster parks hahaha

In general this is such a cool build challenge idea - copying any build with just one picture from just one angle! You could challenge other people to do one of your builds, or get Deli to make a build and take a picture for you to copy

I would love to see a video where you renovate this to make it more practical. And it would be so cool if you could ask The Sims 4 team to provide you with the original file for this house so that you can compare your recreation to it. It would be awesome if they agreed to giving it to you. Also, I love the music! It has got some real nostalgia vibes.

I love how bizarre this house is. Definitely gives me early sims vibes

That's terrific😄I'm not good enough at the house-building part, but I'll try to do it as soon as possible 😄

This is so cool! Doing a renovation of this would be so much fun!

This was so fun!! And really interesting/amusing to see how they built the house for photos. Impressive how James caught the tricks they used!

As someone who builds a lot, watching this come together was both excruciatingly painful & completely hilarious!! Such a great job!!

That last slider comparison - seriously impressive dude! Seriously!

Surprised James didn’t say something along the lines of “and OF COURSE they put Batuu in here cause it’s the perfect house you just can’t see it because the angle of the picture” and proceed to add Batuu items

I've been loving all the content lately, but even as entertaining as some of the series are... this was amazing to me. I mean to be able to shut your brain off enough to really see what's actually going on. I never would have noticed that pool was where it was. To me looking at it, my brain just plopped it on the same height, right close to the back patio area, but it's on a different level and so far away! You did a really fantastic job with this.

I'm so impressed with your patience and determination with this!! It's remarkable how similar it looks, you should be proud 👏🏻

You need to make this livable and do a let's play in it!

This build gives such 80s and (some) 90s vibes! It would be neat to see you take more liberties with it and make it your own. Hopefully you'll do a reno of it!

Very entertaining video! I had so much fun looking at the comparison between your build and the original. You should definitely do a renovation of it because it has a lot of potential, especially with the underground pathway and the usage of the landscape tool.

This house is so quintessentially ‘The Sims’ to me- especially some of the builds in the Sims 2. Big blocks full of STUFF in early 2000s colors. All it’s missing are the reward store items that I never actually earned just cheated for lol

Honestly, I did a double take when you said that the final picture was yours and not theirs. Amazing stuff James!

Personally, I love it. Great unique vibe, but easily walkable and useful, too. A bit much on the shrubbery, but it does look good, so...not going to complain about that for once. I love how you did the 'unseen' areas behind and under the house. You should build more homes like this. I am partial to the 'split level' styles.

This was the most fun sims video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!!

now renovate it to your liking!

Once again I am amazed at the things James can do with that terrain tool. Am now looking forward to a usable reno of this build. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your amazing content.

This is so nuts how closely you matched it up!! Loving this content 😊

YOU are so talented!!! I love watching when you do stuff like this - (burger boys-mcdonalds, high school- real high school here in USA, now this from the Sims4 game) so much fun! thanks for all the content James!

something about the weird leveling and accent walls makes me nostalgic for the sims 3, how there would be strange 'modern' houses with orange and blue. man i miss those

This is a good shell challenge. Wish we could see who built it to at least give props to them, even if only for the shell 😂

I wonder if anyone has ever made the mansion from the OG Sims 1 game. You know, the one in the top right corner of the map which I think was the aspiration house to move to? That would be a cool build video.

The amount of time and effort this took is amazing! It looks great! Thanks for the video!

YASSS! I wanted to see this house made real! lol I can't remember if I looked at it long enough to notice it was weird; I think I did but not to this extent. Btw, I always wanted to recreate that house you see at the top of the EA Gallery website; overlaying the screenshot of the enthusiastic red-headed Sim on the left. I think they built it on that empty lot, Arid Ridge, in the Skyward Palms neighborhood of Oasis Springs, where the Caliente's live (alongside two empty houses.) I'm assuming it's all base game because I think that image has been on the gallery for as long as I can remember! There's no floor plan, and it looks rather small and weird in hindsight, but I was irked that EA hadn't shared it (from what I could tell by.) I'd be thrilled if James wanted to build that one too!

Redecorating this thing as kind of a community challenge, with the rule not to move walls would also be a fun thing

thought this was so random at first and turned out to be exceptional content. i NEED to see the actual build

So fun! I love finding things to build that are from unique places like this. Great work on it.

I think this would be a cool reno and personally I'm getting community lot vibes. Like it would be cool to do a garden/library. Especially with that pathway underneath, it would be cool to have window flooring to see the people on the path below.

The rolling between photos is Soooooooo Satisfying to watch!!!!

Omg this is speed build perfection!❤ Love the switching between real time building and speed build. And the no moving camera!!! 🤩

This has Sims 1 vibes, as in we were so limited with the choices that if you wanted good quality appliances or furniture, there was no way your house matched. Medieval door, curved counters, super modern green couch, beaded archway and massage bed vibes.

This build reminds me of doll house with only seeing the build from a certain angle, some of the oversized objects trying to fit in and all the crazy colours 😎

This was just really amazing. I love that you took this project on. It was fun to see it all come together.

It looks so satisfying doing the rolling between the both images. Its pretty much bang on. Awesome Video!! Would love to see an improvement video on it!

James, this is one of the best videos I’ve watched in forever! What a fun concept. Please do more!

I loved watching you work backwards to figure out how they built this James. You're like the sims version of algebra 😂 You have so much sims knowledge, its amazing! I know you've been playing for a long time but I would never have thought of some of the stuff you do in your videos. Excellent!

Wow! This was a ton of work! Especially for the parts you couldn’t see but you had to guess what was going on. Well done! 💯💯💯

Wow James, it's crazy how you were able to recreate it so perfectly! I'd love to see you renovating it! Amazing video, keep it up :)

Thanks James for doing cool stuff like this, I really appreciate your hard work 😊

This is awsome!! You did a pretty good job, as always!

The effort James put into getting the details right in this is next level

LOVE the speed build of this house! James is so talented.

this is what I imagined the Cullen’s house looked like when I was 12

This build (mainly the interior layout and decoration) gives strong sims 2 vibes😂😂 But yeah, you did an amazing job recreating it👏👏👏

right away first thing I spotted there is not door or archway into the kitchen in the image of the "perfect house" or that front cube room

This is amazing! 🤩 I'm so impressed by your build skills. Definitely inspires me.. next to try is nailing the terrain tools 😅

The picture reminded me of that Sims 3 future pack's HQ. It's not super similar, but also definitely built to look a certain way. It was super clunky to play in.

These always hit when I'm getting off work, from night shift. Perfect way to wind down for bed.
