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).

Not trying to take away from James’ builds as I love them, just trying to be helpful-Schnuck does a lot of builds with base game only and many other combos. She uses the T.O.O.L. mod extensively, but you don’t need it in yours to use the builds. Zero CC, always play tested, and often does fun stories about the sims that live in the particular build. She’s also done some background stories/builds for characters-like Don Lothario as a kid, what influenced his personality. I have so many JTYT, Schnuck, DrGluon, and Peacemaker builds in my gallery and game lol. Love that you and your kids play, too!

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!!!

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!

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!

I'm actually working on a series of builds just like that! Kind of like Deligracy's Buildcrest series but my own take on it - I'll be releasing them once they're all done so if you see a flood of builds like that from one user - it's me xD

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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! 🌟

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 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. ❤️

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! 😀

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Once again, James proves he can roof anything

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

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 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?

Omg, the tower part looks just like Moomin house!

I need this. Thank you for your awesome build

I envy folks who can just build and decorate and landscape a whole lot in a sitting.

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.

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 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 :)

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

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

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 :)

It's giving me "Bear in the big blue house" vibes, love it

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

I’m so glad that there aren’t any robberies in the sims, cause this house would be on everyone’s list 😂

Awesome. Love the use of round walls.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I hate when people say “oh I did a challenge where I only built in base game it was sooooo *hard* “ when literally 50% of Sims players don’t have any packs and they build with base game all the time. It boils my blood.

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!)

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is GORGEOUS! Love it. ❤️
