It took James 6 minutes to realize base game + one pack builds are awfully boring. Respect. I usually give up 2 minutes into challenging myself like that.
@@phantomcakes4546 it sucks because I find she‘s such a good builder, but no matter what she does, people are never satisfied, some people whine when she uses a lot of packs because then they can‘t download it and when she limits herself, they tell her it‘s ugly or that she should just build whatevershe wants. I guess she just wants to keep everybody happy by finding a middle ground
@@annasanchez8588 I know, she once had a tiny panic attack realizing a build she made went over her pack limit and apologized but she shouldn't apologize just because not everyone has all the packs.
@@phantomcakes4546 exactly, I wish people weren't so mean to her. I have also seen she's been getting better at setting boundaries during her streams, which makes me very happy for her tbh
I don't know if this has been recommended in the past, but since base+1 builds (like base game + werewolves) can be boring or limited, maybe you could do builds based on 3 packs like the bundles. Like a Get to Work, Dine Out, and Cool Kitchen Stuff build. That way people who don't have a lot of packs can snag a bundle and use the build. Base game + Get Together + Realm of Magic + Paranormal would be pretty cool!
I did a hidden jail room years age. I had an elderly rich couple that had a YA son who was spoiled and one night after partying all night, on his way home he was abducted by an alien. So, the alien disguised himself as the spoiled son and locked him in a hidden jail cell. I split the basement in half and used the bookshelf door (locked to everyone but the alien son) as the entrance. The alien would go down at night to interrogate and feed his "specimen". The alien son respected his "parents" and treated everyone better, so he was loved, and no one knew the difference. The only issue was, when playing other households, I would see the jailed son walking around. I might redo that storyline. It was fun to play. Your build looks good. I might download it for my game. Thanks.
We really need a basegame update that adds a few more landscaping plants, mainly non-flowering bushes and vines. I am definitely downloading all the werewolf builds that you've redone with all the cheats and packs you needed to make them exactly how you envisioned them! edit: omg why did I type vampire instead of werewolf
Honestly relating to this video so much because having been building in Moonwood Mill a lot lately I have also had to redesign my basements a lot lately to work with houses being on foundation or having platforms. It's your fault for being so dang creative and making me feel like I need to keep the original spirit of these builds and having basement sewers, bunkers and rage dens 😆 but I love it. Making me utilize basements like it's 2018 all over again
I love that the cells with the curved doors above them remind me of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! This was a cool renovation of your earlier build. Great job!
I was thinking you could've enclosed the secret staircase, extended the wall by one block and added a door to make it look like an old homestead sidewall shed.
It's sort of annoying that you can't add telescopes to Balconies because it considers the railing and roof a room. IDK what they did for the Sims originally but you could use Telescopes on balconies back then.
I haven’t used the new telescope yet but the giant telescope works inside. I do it all the time. I even put it in a city living apartment. Sims can used it sized down 1 time too. So why would the new telescope not work inside/only when there’s no roof? You should be able to use a telescope in front of a window, it’s the sims!
@@momahl114 no unfortunately as you seen the small telescope doesn't work with a roof, no matter if there's a window in front of it or just a railing 🫤 maybe it's not intentional and they will fix that!
james not being able to use move objects / free place is so insane to me, because maxis literally has builds that use it? maybe its only in older packs, but there are 100% lots from maxis/base game/packs where ive placed it down and its given that notifications thats like "btw this has been built using move objects so careful"
I just got this build in Home Decorator and it was crazy they liked, green, fishing, handiness, wellness & garden... in their living room. So needless to say I tore your living room up! But they were happy. I think you need revisit Hazel and see if they are on her list... Just saying..
"Self-designated cells" nice try James, but now my internal lore is that Kristopher mantains a "good guy" facade but behind the scenes his pack is very dark and use this cells for obscure things, and Rory rebeled against all this bullshit.
Werewolves is the first time I haven't just automatically bulldozed all new world lots! I bulldozed them like 5 mins in instead. lol JOKE I'm actually still using your original builds, I just added CC and decor! I adore your builds and build vids and could watch you build all day, I learn so much. Still think you are the best builder and designer in the community and aren't recognised for it properly!!!
Basements and platforms really don't like each other, do they? XD And a shame about the cell walls not actually functioning as, you know, WALLS. *pats* But I like all the little updates you made to the build, and the idea of them having a special containment area to stop rampages is a good one! Think you did a great job, James! (And with less venturing into other packs than I would have done -- I just CAN'T limit myself like that, no matter how hard I try.)
I think you had the moon petal item on the kitchen table, and some cabinet from Eco in the kitchen near the table, when walls down it would be near the shoe rack.
Love the idea of the basement cells! I feel like Rory, as the oldest adopted child (and maybe adopted as a child, whereas Jacob was adopted as a toddler), Christopher would have been a bit harder on her (not being very experienced with children). I imagine her as a pup, being forced into the cells, without understanding much, and not getting a lot of help to cope with her rage. That she was taught to suppress rather than understand it, and told that there was something wrong with her for being so angry/not being able to suppress it enough. Seeing how Jacob was treated differently, and seemed to cope better and had more empathy and help might have pushed her over the edge, to create the Wildfangs. My supersim was born as a werewolf, and is now a teenager. I have (finally) gotten her aggression levels under control, so I can focus on the high school pack. But as a young adult, I will have her start out joining the peaceful pack and do all that aspiration. (maybe even a bit before she age up, seeking 'guidance' from others like her) But the level of suppression will be too much for her, it have become twisted and unhealthy, though the original idea was good. So she switch to the wild fang pack, do all of those aspirations, and let her inner beast run wild. Once she got the rage out of her system, she will become a lone wolf, and start focusing on the other packs. I might keep her werewolf for a while (would be a shame to waste all the perk points), until she discovers her ancient bloodline and go for spell caster. Or maybe vampire first, I don't know. I also add my own lore to other sims families, but this series was actually perfect for inspiration. :)
I think the stairs for the basement look real with that gap. Honestly if you could throw some grass growing in or some cracks it'd be perfect for a kind of broken aesthetic. As it is to me it just looks a little bit askew. Not clipping. Like when wear and tear of dirt meeting stone moves the stone?
i think one of the sneak out windows and the trellice ladder under rory's room would be so good. Especially since we know Lily gardens, a trellis would fit with the house!
for some reason in my save this family (the ai that controls them)adopts 3 kids and the dad has an alien baby, ontop of their teenage son, it was absolutely wild and I swear one of them got taken away by family services cause there was so many kids in that 3 bedroom house
Ahhh the basement is so cool ! Really happy to see it ! I also did it in my game and it work pretty well. You just need a sane sim to jail the insane one ah ah (at least he didn't destroy the bathroom 🙃)
@@Pavlinka__ Yes I know the main game would never get a all pack update to the lots, but to get to see the ideas the Gurus wanted to do but where limited and couldn't do would be nice. Seeing Johnny's room in the Landgrab house have some stuff from Get Famous because He wanted to be famous. Seeing Lilith and Caleb show signs of being related to Lily. Packs cross over with each other I'd Like to see that in the Official lots even if it means going to the galary and to Masix's page to get them
@@cameopup me too! i hope we get more cool game releases this year since covid is slowing down with the vaccines and game studios are reopening!!! this was a really fun summer and im excited for more to come
Not me, playing the pack and not looking at the family tree and realizing my sim was now in a weird love triangle with both Rory and Christopher. I honestly didn’t realize it until it was mentioned by either you or Deli… I definitely couldn’t handle that accidental situation and started a challenge on a new save… guess I’ll get back to werewolves eventually! (I’m having too much fun in my new save… made a retail store gallery to sell my sims paintings, and using the moschino pack stuff meant for photography with the paint from reference feature has led to such fun paintings… and the Acting backgrounds… such a fun save I have going! Wanted to share to give other simmers ideas)
for the secret room since it’s meant to keep people safe from rampaging werewolves it might make sense to have the entrance door be the werewolves only door? Edit: also rory and lou technically don’t live anywhere, what if you built a house for them on the starter home lot?
Please to live in a 200-year-old farmhouse. And the side had an entrance to the basement that looked just like that and there was a little bit of concrete foundation in between the stone and the wall Above. And then it entered in the basement to a furnace room and we also had an entrance from the house going down and it was my brothers bedroom on the other entry other side.
I really loved this build, I ended up copying it and just added the lot onto another lot so I could change it and still have the original in the world🥰
If you give a werewolve proper trait. Your werewolf will have a better time controlling impulses and won’t fight other sims. If you are looking for a good werewolve.
its both so sweet and so sad to me that kristoph hasnt changed or cleared out rorys room since she left........ they might hate each other now but shes still his daughter :,)
I thougt one of the cell variation is just decoration where you can go through and the other one is functional ... but I'm not pretty sure to be honest ^^'
So... Anybody know why this build isn't in the gallery? Sorry if this has already been answered, I've been looking everywhere trying to figure it out and can't find an answer..
Rory is confirmed to be a woman? I thought from the use of they/them in the other video that Rory was the first confirmed nonbinary sim. Which would have been perfect because the first recorded use of singular they in English was in 'William and the Werewolf'.
So you wanted to make an amazing lot but EA made you make an average one 😂 (Still 1000x better than what they build! It’s just they should’ve let you soar!)
It took James 6 minutes to realize base game + one pack builds are awfully boring. Respect. I usually give up 2 minutes into challenging myself like that.

i think the werewolves pack is the first time i’ve actually played in a pre-made starter home and slowly built it up. great job building james!
I love how James came back to this and got the renovation out of his system:D I could tell he was struggling lol
The deep satisfaction which James says "I added a lot of JUNK" makes me so happy.
While I do love the werewolf containment unit, I do kinda wanna build a cozy space for the good doggos.

I wanted to commit that when you tried to change the spandrels, I am glad you kept it, because they look like the top fangs from the wolfs mouth.
You could try wall vines to cover the corners of the 'cells'. If it's been there along time, vines could've gotten in there, maybe lol

You should have put some toddler beds since Christopher always adopts… lol
Put that mirror back there !!! Lol it looked so nice !
My sim married Kristopher and they’ve been using the upstairs terrace to pee on in the morning. A telescope is a much better idea XD

You forgot to add back the moon flower to the table…. I could tell you were trying to figure it out. Lol.

Loving this behind the scenes content SO MUCH
I love new video days. I got to see a new Deli and a new James video today.
So relatable about the telescope. I had a build recently with a telescope on a balcony and I had to download a mod to allow them to work "indoors".
for the railing thing on the flat part of the stairs, i always have to use fence.
I wish EA would do this Officially give updated versions of the packs once they aren't tied to Base game + Xpack only

hi James Turner, formally known as TheSimSupply
I really loved this build, I ended up copying it and just added the lot onto another lot so I could change it and still have the original in the world🥰
It'd be cute if the containment rooms had some oversized pet beds or food bowls. or a bone if there's something like that in debug.
It was the moonflower on the dining table James ^_^
Honestly I suck at building. So be happy that you're good at it. 😊
Hahaha in my sims 4 world, Christopher and L.Faba are together and they both moved to eco lifestyle world and they non stop pop out babies 😭😂
I love this lot
If you give a werewolve proper trait. Your werewolf will have a better time controlling impulses and won’t fight other sims. If you are looking for a good werewolve.
Love your content
I usually add plants if the room needs a bit of extra 😅
This has very The Quarry vibes
Love this 😊
OMG IM SO HAPPY! I JUST GOT BACK HOME!THIS WILL BE A DELIGHT!
Will you be adding this to the gallery?
I’m surprised you don’t use the tool mod. You can get those floating grasses on the ground super easily.
I feel like for the telescope you could just pull the edge of the roof lip over (not the actual roof)
This is just the eave, even that counts as “indoors”
I really like the underground prison. It's too bad you couldn't use the cell pieces to make it work.
its both so sweet and so sad to me that kristoph hasnt changed or cleared out rorys room since she left........ they might hate each other now but shes still his daughter :,)
Love the idea of the containment cells... I will try them for my youngers werewolves.
I thougt one of the cell variation is just decoration where you can go through and the other one is functional ... but I'm not pretty sure to be honest ^^'
11:18 this commentator who suggested about underground chamber. Have you seen Wolfblood?
That secret room kinda makes me think Rory’s upbringing was a little different than they make it seem…
I think James posted like 10 build videos and totally forgot Nina and Angus exist 🤣
James has been playing them once or twice a week for two weeks now... We're on Part 6. Where have you been? 😏
Woohoo Chambers
Never been here this early
Lol …. Yes 🤭
I have never successfully free rotated. Tips or tricks?
So... Anybody know why this build isn't in the gallery? Sorry if this has already been answered, I've been looking everywhere trying to figure it out and can't find an answer..
I can’t find it either… Hmm
Just like in WOLFBLOOD
Oeh secrets
Let’s just pretend it’s an electric fence, so they won’t be able to climb it 🤗
I don't understand. Why EA forbade to use moveobjects and alt key in those builds. I understand debug, but this doesn't make sense...
Rory is confirmed to be a woman? I thought from the use of they/them in the other video that Rory was the first confirmed nonbinary sim. Which would have been perfect because the first recorded use of singular they in English was in 'William and the Werewolf'.
So you wanted to make an amazing lot but EA made you make an average one 😂
