the only reason why i hate to watch build videos is due to the fact that i get sooo jealous of how beautiful the hosues are and just wish i lived in those type of houses
I think the fact that you blended the penthouse into the building is why this is my fav City Living build I've seen. I think the penthouse lots where it looks like a house are so ridiculous. Well done, James!!!
FINALLY! A CITY LIVING BUILD. You don't KNOW. You don't UNDERSTAND how much agony I went through waiting for this video. PRAISE THE SIMS GODS FOR THIS MIRACLE!
when james said he was 22 i had to pause the video and contemplate my entire existance for a minute. 3 years older than me, and you have your life together and you're so confident in yourself... hOW
10-20 years ago, if he had been 22 and sat in his room playing games, it wouldn't be considered "having your life together" because it wasn't so much a way you could make a living. James is successful because he does what he does at a time when it's possible to reach so many people that the game makers recognise how much you could drive sales up for their products. He works hard to put the content together, but just the slightest bit of difference in his life and it may never have happened like this. If he had never broken his knee, he may never have ended up being a UA-cam personality. Also its very important never to measure your success or amount done in life in comparison to someone else. We all develop and grow at different rates. Some take longer than others to find their "calling" and some never do and it's all ok. Instead, look at how much you have grown compared to yourself. You can certainly work towards reaching a more "together" life, but don't beat yourself up if you are not there yet. It's also very easy to look at an edited snapshot of someone else's life and assume that they have it together a lot more than they actually do. Not saying that is true of James, but more in the general sense. You see all of your life, you only see a carefully chosen snippet of someone else's. I'm sure if I had been filmed for the past few years you could edit it to look like I'm a fully functioning adult human instead of a dysfunctional bipolar disorder ridden mess. A lot of editing, but you could do it. ;) We are where we are, as long as we keep moving forward, it doesn't matter what pace we have to travel at.
A swimming pool like that probably has at least an inch of glass. Especially the ones that have Windows to the exterior of a building and are often bullet proof as well. Not that you should be shooting bullets in them.
You need to have a talent or skill for it. Like observe the buildings, houses anywhere, whether you are travelling or shopping or browse on internet. Also you need to have creativity.
+Mr Joke, I asked him and Deligracy that a few years ago. The answer was nope back then. What they do, do in the Sims, is more like interior designing on steroids. 👍👌🏆️🎖️
As an architect, the houses look nice but are completely impractical in day to day living. There is much more to think about when designing a building then just how it looks
WAIT WHAT!? James you're only 22!? .... How.... I always thought you were older then me -_-;;;;;; Soooo jealous now we're the same age and you have been to so many places
I remember when you could choose the colours of the bed frame and the bed sheets separately in the Sims 2. They should have transferred that feature over
It looks FUCKING AWESOME *-* you seem to have such a great sense of what looks good and what doesn't. Like an interiors designer or something. I miss creating stuff in The Sims :c
VIDEO SUGGESTION - James, you should make a housebuild video where you build and furnish it in the style of how you did when you first started youtube or even earlier if you played the sims before then
I really like this build. It was a lot less monochrome than what you often do, but not over the top colourful. Speaking of the danger of having a pool on the top of a building like that, if the glass breaks, maybe it wasn't the best idea to put the basket ball hoop facing the glass pool wall. Every time someone misses the hoop the ball is going to hit the glass, I don't like the sound of that repeated stress damage.
You only live once James, enjoy your travels. You make such an effort to take feedback, I think the videos were still great even though prerecorded. Just made us happier when you returned.
Really liked this build--you tried some new things when it came to interior decoration and it definitely showed. Just one bit of feedback--with the new youtube outro feature of suggesting other videos before the video actually ends... it covered up the shots of the floorplan and made it harder to see. If there could be a way to include a more superfluous shot or something after the screenshots, so instead that one could be partially covered... I dunno, I hope I'm making sense here.
Today was James Day , I watched this build and the other penthouse, the last City Living part and Planet Coaster part 10, as well as the 2 hours long live stream of Planet coaster. Im never tired of you James ^_^/
i swam at my mate's apartment in brizzy once, it was really cool! you could see almost the whole brizzy's landscape from the pool on top of the apartment
it goes to the apartment and to the recording room..:p and it goes to the whole building as i remember ...except if they have two elevators that look the same...xD
If you want too swim in an infinity pool on a high rise, go to Singapore's Marina Bay there is a infinity pool on top of an hotel there. But one night at the hotel is around $100 Singapore dollars.
i've been having that lighting glitch with cabinets vs counters in city living too. to make things more annoying, it would often only happen on one cabinet? not entirely sure why, but it's really frustrating.
I am absolutely loving your builds with these apartments! Your builds are always so nice and damn near perfect, lol, but I think working with the given buildings in apartments is almost a bit of a... I don't want to say challenge, but, it does add a bit of preexisting point to have to work with. And you make them look sooooo nice and like the whole building was built together, absolutely love them. So creative! Tysmfs! ☺
I always want to make a penthouse, but sometimes they oddly have too much space. Watching this, I can get satisfaction eating your builds and making my own every time!😀
Best penthouse I've seen so far. I love open-floorplans because of the live mode camera angels. Just need a karaoke booth :) Thanks for sharing! Love the way you decorated.
You should definitely move the Powers in here so you are not playing with the same apartment in both your LPs. Also this seems way more in line with Max's aesthetic.
I know you probably won't read this but I've been watching your videos for a while now and II've been trying to make things as beautiful as yours. It really helps me to watch your vids and they just inspire me. I ended up making something that is more than just a cube. That's a real accomplishment for me.
I have swam in an infinity pool! It was Jamaica last year in 2015. We went bob sledding and then swam in the area's pool and it was on a mountain, overlooking the Jamaican forest and towns. It was breathtaking!
I also have the thing with the top cabinets, the game thinks they are in a different room(at least i am pretty sure) however i dont know how to fix it.
hey I have to say I love your videos, and your voice..... almost every time when I started to watch a few of your build videos and hit a really long one like this, I just fall asleep with my phone in hand super fast! A lot of my day time naps are done with your soothing voice..... so thanks!! I do have trouble sleeping at night, and no amount of ASMR is as much help as yours.... But I enjoy the build too!!
Watching this a year later! And your tangent about basketball still cracks me up! I also was really good at basketball, played for eight years stopped for medical reasons
I like how you made it look like it was apart of the actual building. :D I also really like the infinity pool, I never realized I wanted to swim in an infinity pool looking over a city until now haha.
I really love your design sense! I'm currently binge-watching all of your videos because they're Genuine Good Content, and so far I've *really* wanted to live in every single building lol
I've been to an apartment in London when the elevator opened into someone's living room! shocking at first, especially as his home wasn't even that fancy - sometimes it happens
I never understood the elevator just goes to a room in the house, i mean its calssy and fancy and stuff... but how does it work, can't everybody just go to your house then? Or do you have to enter a code, like a bit super agent like... or ? I dont know...
Søs L Sometimes someone in the lobby will push a button and there will be intercoms throughout the house so you can ask if you can come up. If you've ever watched the Disney show Jesse that's a good example
Søs L I lived in a big building in São Paulo and I remember that we had a fingerprint identification. But we also had a locked door and the elevator didn't just open right into our apartment so people wouldn't get in anyways
I've swum in one of those infinity pools in bangkok before! it was on top of a 20-or-so story building, and you could look out to all the other skyscrapers whilst swimming. The side that was facing the city had a glass wall. It was so awesome! But it definitely wasn't as fancy as the one you built haha, it was small and not that deep at all. I think it was like 3 m by 7 m, and 1.2 m deep.
You have probably done this (this video was uploaded years ago) but we stayed in a hotel on hamilton island (QLD AUS) and the elevator went straight to our room!!!!! It was AMAZING! 😍
melandcab hey just wanted to make you feel better I don't play because my computer is gone so I sit and watch you all play and I bet I am way older then all of you all lol but I love the sims first time since they came out I don't have them
Overseas NINE times?! Holy snap, that's amazing. I'm so envious of you. Please enjoy your travels, I hope you get to see many new and old places, and I hope you have safe flights each time :)
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THE BUILDING. I hate penthouses that look super out of place. It's literally nothing special, just another house building video
I'm so sorry about your knee! I broke my thumb when I was 9 in an ice-skating accident. I shattered the growth plate in it and had to see an orthopedic surgeon, wear a cast for 4 months, wear a sling, and I couldn't write. Now one thumb is about 2/3 of an inch shorter than the other but at east it works. While I'm sure that what I went through hurt quite a bit less than what happened to you, I just wanted to let you know that I care and that I understand what it's like to have a painful bone injury. I hope you made a full recovery and that it hasn't given you any problems since! Have a wonderful day!
About swimming in an infinity pool on an high-rise: I did it actually! :D Three years ago, I went to see my boyfriend who was on his year abroad in Singapore, and as a Christmas/Birthday/Valentines (all at once) gift, we spent a night in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel which has this wonderful infinity pool with a view on Singapore's skyline... That was just amazing.
Lmao I’m watching this in 2019 and he says “let’s stop talking about time sensitive stuff” and I was just like little do you know it’s 2019 now and a lot of stuff has gone down
I adore your videos but your kitchen designs DRIVE ME INSANE! I design kitchens for a living so that is probably why 😂 when you put the dishwasher next to the oven I internally screamed 😱
The reason people couldn't play the sim3 was because of all the options for colors and open worlds. They gave us everything you're complaining of wanting and it broke the game. It was unplayable after a while even on well made gaming computers. The sims 4 is made to be compatible with a variety of computers and players. We can't have playability and everything we want. I'll sacrifice color swatches for playability any day.
Yup! Me, too. I just made the big switch from Alpha to MM because it just generally looks much better and my game runs smooth with it. No glitches with the items, and MM just looks like it belongs in the game, you know? :D
Yeah definitely, have you tried Peacemakers CC on tumblr, it's MM but slightly more detailed. It's freaking perfect and I decorate my house almost entirely with it xD
:O I just looked up the tumblr page and I am completely in love! Thanks :D Do you use WildyMiniatureSandwich? She's got amazing MM hairs and clothes (and even a teensy bit of furniture!).
As much as I hate this game and hate the fact I wasted a few hours in my childhood playing it, your videos are luring in my creative side to buying this game. Like Coaster Planet, I can spend a long period of free time just coming up with unique ideas for something; fortunately my wife is into building games as well and would not think less of me for playing a game that is basically a virtual doll house/simulation of life if I did purchase this game.
I got a small penthouse on the same lot for one of my 'Snobert' family member Sizzle and her alien husband Glaxian. It small now but I plan to expand it when something new arises in their life. I done this before with her grandfather Stan Snifferman who was a woodworker. the story goes he built the whole house and in the end it and it was a mansion. I admit doing it that way was fun. So I'm going to do the same with the Snoberts throughout their lifetime with this penthouse. I will admit I do like your design. :)
This is one of my favourite builds yet! Absolutely stunning. Also I'm glad they added new beds in City Living but it's still pretty difficult to match them with end tables / closets. :( + TIL James is 22. I feel so old now.
Gracie H I just noticed that too! I suspect it was the patch before vintage glamour stuff because they also added new swatches to a bunch of base game lights. So excited that bed has new color swatches now and I don't think James even realized, lol!
I see your problem with the large balcony spaces but I think apart from greenery and lounge chairs and maybe an outside dining table, they could have just been left airy and free of clutter, typifying the minimalism within. Lovely detail :)
The penthouses came with city living. If you want to make your own penthouse design from scratch you'll have to take one of the pre-existing penthouse lots and clear it.
There's this cool hotel I stayed right in downtown St. Louis with a pool out in the open on the 31st or 32nd floor! It gets windy, but it was cool. And, you climb up these stairs that go around this taller section that holds all the equipment, you go around to a balcony that overlooks the Mississippi River and the Arch is almost right in front of you! It was cool.
Even if they cannot give us more models, I just want more color swatches for the furniture. I miss putting marble counter tops like I used to do in Sims 3 to any model. If they could give us more variety THAT ACTUALLY MATCHES. that'd be awesome. Anyway, great build! IT LOOKS AMAZING! Thanks for sharing. x
I live in a penthouse on the 33rd floor in Miami and had the exact same problem of figuring out where to put my TV in a room completely filled with windows. It ended up blocking part of an amazing view of the Ocean. Also, basketballs falling from the sky is kinda no bueno. Patio furniture as well is really dangerous. Most people don't secure it and if a good wind storm comes through you loose pretty much everything. Learned that the hard way.
My favorite thing is the basketball hoop... attached to the glass windows... that hold back a ton of water hahaha
or break the massive windows
Eric Imagine the poor guy that will get hit with a flying basketball...
beautifuldisasater13 OMG DOES ANYONE THINK ABOUT HOW THE BASKETBALL COULD FALL OF THE ROOF AND KILL SOMEONE LOL
beautifuldisasater13
Don't know why I'm saying this but 150th like!!!
Oops I missed, oops I'm soaked
the only reason why i hate to watch build videos is due to the fact that i get sooo jealous of how beautiful the hosues are and just wish i lived in those type of houses
Why would you even need a house that size?
Mr'Koalas why wouldn't I?
#relatable #imtoojelly
I’m only jelly Because I can’t even build like that in the sims four ): XD
That's why I play sims, to build a home I'll probably never be able to afford and pretend lol
Imagine dropping the ball from that balcony mid-match, "you threw it so you're getting it!" taken to a whole new scale lmao
"You threw it so it's you who's charged with murder"
@@devanthe Would be manslaughter probably
I think the fact that you blended the penthouse into the building is why this is my fav City Living build I've seen. I think the penthouse lots where it looks like a house are so ridiculous. Well done, James!!!
FINALLY! A CITY LIVING BUILD. You don't KNOW. You don't UNDERSTAND how much agony I went through waiting for this video. PRAISE THE SIMS GODS FOR THIS MIRACLE!
I know the feel mate!
Isagail Carshuen YES!
+Isagail Carshuen
If your praising the sim gods,.... then your really just praising yourself

Darkshadow01 you little genius
when james said he was 22 i had to pause the video and contemplate my entire existance for a minute. 3 years older than me, and you have your life together and you're so confident in yourself... hOW
i'm two years older than him and i'm a mess so i feel you :( i was so shocked when i learn his age...
How about we make a club? I'm six years older than him... life is still a really weird place.
I. Am literally doing that exact thing right now. How is he only three years older? I thought he was like... 30??
10-20 years ago, if he had been 22 and sat in his room playing games, it wouldn't be considered "having your life together" because it wasn't so much a way you could make a living.

LyricalOwlet just wanted to say, everyone feels like other people have there life together when they do not.
since lifesimmer disappeared, I started to watch others channels and the sim supply and deligracy is definitely my favorites right now! 💕
Victor W. "Since LifeSimmer disappeared" lmao
Victor W. Why did she stop making videos?
***** I don't really know! She is moving/moved to LA and I saw someone on her family died (or something like that)... =(
Victor W. deli is really good I love her
Victor W. I swear she's like gone.
A swimming pool like that probably has at least an inch of glass. Especially the ones that have Windows to the exterior of a building and are often bullet proof as well. Not that you should be shooting bullets in them.
There actually 5 and a half inch I live in a penthouse in Los angels California
I totally agree with James: the limited colors in the sims4 is really annoying. When you try to match things, it just doesn't work.
N2560H right??
So, the question is, now that it’s years later: have you by now managed to swim in an infinity pool on a high rise?
Nice one
I'm curious, did you go to any architectural school?? or did you study it in college? because you're really good at design
You need to have a talent or skill for it. Like observe the buildings, houses anywhere, whether you are travelling or shopping or browse on internet.
Also you need to have creativity.
+Mr Joke, I asked him and Deligracy that a few years ago. The answer was nope back then. What they do, do in the Sims, is more like interior designing on steroids. 👍👌🏆️🎖️

Justin Heller true
Mr Joke In the Sims 4 You just have to build the Exterior Walls and Stuff as an Architect you have to do the Water,Electronic and Stuff
WAIT WHAT!? James you're only 22!? .... How.... I always thought you were older then me -_-;;;;;; Soooo jealous now we're the same age and you have been to so many places
Is not he like 30?????? Wow
Wait seriously? I thought he was at least 28 or so - same with Deli. Now I wonder how old she is..
than*
....WAIT WHAT....he's a year younger than me...I thought he was older :P
Lexi Lou Who She doesn’t say her age publicly but judging from her friend and boyfriend’s twitter I think she’s about 25 now. James is almost 24.
I remember when you could choose the colours of the bed frame and the bed sheets separately in the Sims 2. They should have transferred that feature over
Rainbow Duck Yes! Sims 2 was the best, also how they did the apartments. Sims 4 seems like they went backwards.
It looks FUCKING AWESOME *-* you seem to have such a great sense of what looks good and what doesn't. Like an interiors designer or something. I miss creating stuff in The Sims :c
Haha well thank you! Building in Sims is good fun, relaxing :)
The Sim Supply I really like this build so could you please make a series for it thank you
Are you doing interior design in your professional life? If not you probably should :)
Really? i thought most of the design choices were terrible.
Ryan McLaughlin Your terrible
VIDEO SUGGESTION - James, you should make a housebuild video where you build and furnish it in the style of how you did when you first started youtube or even earlier if you played the sims before then
I did that once and it was hilarious! I didn't know anything when I first started! James should totally do this!
Louis Flood Or maybe he could try and rebuild his first house
Dude, you're building and design skills are bomb.
Amber J hey you stole my name lmao THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE AMBER.
Music Lover okay, well how do we figure out who is superior..? lol
Amber J oooh good question.

I thought he was a person
I really like this build. It was a lot less monochrome than what you often do, but not over the top colourful.
Speaking of the danger of having a pool on the top of a building like that, if the glass breaks, maybe it wasn't the best idea to put the basket ball hoop facing the glass pool wall. Every time someone misses the hoop the ball is going to hit the glass, I don't like the sound of that repeated stress damage.
There are going to be so many head traumas from basket balls falling of the balcony..
You should do a house build using only pre-built rooms
oh god that sounds like a real challenge
Maya Cajic 😂😂😂😂
Yung Ravioli that will be a rly hard challnge
Been 10-8 I think
Yung Ravioli
He can use rooms he made before
The "elevator directly in house" reminds me of icarly!
also, love the Appartment!!
You only live once James, enjoy your travels.
You make such an effort to take feedback, I think the videos were still great even though prerecorded. Just made us happier when you returned.
Really liked this build--you tried some new things when it came to interior decoration and it definitely showed.

If there could be a way to include a more superfluous shot or something after the screenshots, so instead that one could be partially covered... I dunno, I hope I'm making sense here.
I guess I made it. I swam in what I believe was an infinity pool on a high rise in Bali.
It was gorgeous.
good for ya
I live for the house builds. Your symmetrical designs and minimalistic style of interior relaxes my brain, I swear.
Today was James Day , I watched this build and the other penthouse, the last City Living part and Planet Coaster part 10, as well as the 2 hours long live stream of Planet coaster.
Im never tired of you James ^_^/
Same!
i swam at my mate's apartment in brizzy once, it was really cool! you could see almost the whole brizzy's landscape from the pool on top of the apartment
They have elevator like that in icarly where the door opens up in ones apartment
Person McPerson that elevator goes up to the room where they film. It doesn't go from the bottom floor to the apartment
it goes to the apartment and to the recording room..:p and it goes to the whole building as i remember ...except if they have two elevators that look the same...xD
i know you see somehow the worl-
never mind, I'll show my self out
Person McPerson I think all penthouses have that.
LPS Cookies311TM they dont all have one
If you want too swim in an infinity pool on a high rise, go to Singapore's Marina Bay there is a infinity pool on top of an hotel there. But one night at the hotel is around $100 Singapore dollars.
Are you Singaporean? I am.
Sherry Samantha Berry
I am Singaporean :)
Uhhhh 1 night at MBS is closer to S$500...
I went there
1 night is about $500 to $600 SGD. But the pool is definitely super nice.
i've been having that lighting glitch with cabinets vs counters in city living too. to make things more annoying, it would often only happen on one cabinet? not entirely sure why, but it's really frustrating.

James, how and who would tend and cut the hedges on the other side of the window next to the poino?
Dunno, David Blaine? :D
:D Wow
I love the shapes of his buildings, they aren't just squares & rectangles. Great ideas! So creative!
in Icarly the elevator opens into their home
nah imagine some one hitting the wrong floor number and walking in
Bobbi you have to have a key to get in
Y'ALL he said /imagine/
Lucifer as well
I always want to make a penthouse, but sometimes they oddly have too much space. Watching this, I can get satisfaction eating your builds and making my own every time!😀
lol why is this so addictive to watch

all that space and you make the kids share a bedroom smh
Lmaoo right?

I love the genuine unedited voice over! Really gives a chilled atmosphere :)
If there was a "automatically make this person 29x more famous" button, I would click yours.

I also have the thing with the top cabinets, the game thinks they are in a different room(at least i am pretty sure) however i dont know how to fix it.
Well not room just section, sometimes when i make my walls short and them tall its fixed
Charlie S_ I have the same problem so annoying
Me too, it's a recent problem. So annoying >:(
Charlie S_ lol me 2
Anyone found a fix yet?
hey I have to say I love your videos, and your voice..... almost every time when I started to watch a few of your build videos and hit a really long one like this, I just fall asleep with my phone in hand super fast!

Watching this a year later! And your tangent about basketball still cracks me up! I also was really good at basketball, played for eight years stopped for medical reasons
Love your stuff, James. But...why would you put a dishwasher next to the stove?? It goes next to the sink. ;)
I am IN LOVE with that piano rug in the kids room, I need that in my life!
hey man can you make monica geller's apartement ?
I like how you made it look like it was apart of the actual building. :D I also really like the infinity pool, I never realized I wanted to swim in an infinity pool looking over a city until now haha.
my cat likes to watch your videos with me.
FINALLY A BUILD! I've missed your builds and creativity. I know you've been busy etc but glad to see one again! Yay!!
I love that bookshelf... KNOWLEDGE!
Infinity pools are fantastic. Seriously apart from the extra wall, the VIEW THOUGH! Seriously I could see the city central and the ocean
The really expensive bed has new recolours?! :O
No, it's just a illusion in your head
Youre building skills are amazing! I dont know how you learned but all of your builds make me want to live in them in real life!
Love you're builds. ALL OF THEM...
I really love your design sense! I'm currently binge-watching all of your videos because they're Genuine Good Content, and so far I've *really* wanted to live in every single building lol
This house is lifegoals, that screenshot looking over the pool was fantastic!!
I love the grey and yellow aesthetic so the dining room looks real nice
James I LOOOOOVE the exterior, so genius and perfect
Awesome build! And I love how it blends in with the skyscraper!! It always annoys me whenever people build normal houses on top of skyscrapers
I've been to an apartment in London when the elevator opened into someone's living room! shocking at first, especially as his home wasn't even that fancy - sometimes it happens
wow i could listen to you ramble while you build for hours
I never understood the elevator just goes to a room in the house, i mean its calssy and fancy and stuff... but how does it work, can't everybody just go to your house then? Or do you have to enter a code, like a bit super agent like... or ? I dont know...
You get a key card. The lift button for that floor will only work if you scan that key card in the lift.
Søs L Sometimes someone in the lobby will push a button and there will be intercoms throughout the house so you can ask if you can come up. If you've ever watched the Disney show Jesse that's a good example
Søs L I lived in a big building in São Paulo and I remember that we had a fingerprint identification. But we also had a locked door and the elevator didn't just open right into our apartment so people wouldn't get in anyways
Ines Lep Rich ass bitch XD
I've swum in one of those infinity pools in bangkok before! it was on top of a 20-or-so story building, and you could look out to all the other skyscrapers whilst swimming.

I think it was like 3 m by 7 m, and 1.2 m deep.
Can you do a build with only the base game decorations for the people that don't have all those expansion packs? If you can thanks! If not, no biggie.
You have probably done this (this video was uploaded years ago) but we stayed in a hotel on hamilton island (QLD AUS) and the elevator went straight to our room!!!!! It was AMAZING! 😍
when you realize youre older than all the simmers you watch...sigh
melandcab I was just saying that same thing to myself life
melandcab hey just wanted to make you feel better I don't play because my computer is gone so I sit and watch you all play and I bet I am way older then all of you all lol but I love the sims first time since they came out I don't have them
How old are you? 22? 23?
FlavonoidzExplosion 49
You look less than half your age.. have you got the never age option turned on?
Overseas NINE times?! Holy snap, that's amazing. I'm so envious of you. Please enjoy your travels, I hope you get to see many new and old places, and I hope you have safe flights each time :)
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THE BUILDING. I hate penthouses that look super out of place. It's literally nothing special, just another house building video
I'm so sorry about your knee! I broke my thumb when I was 9 in an ice-skating accident. I shattered the growth plate in it and had to see an orthopedic surgeon, wear a cast for 4 months, wear a sling, and I couldn't write. Now one thumb is about 2/3 of an inch shorter than the other but at east it works. While I'm sure that what I went through hurt quite a bit less than what happened to you, I just wanted to let you know that I care and that I understand what it's like to have a painful bone injury. I hope you made a full recovery and that it hasn't given you any problems since! Have a wonderful day!
What!? James is only 22!? I thought he was like 26 or something 😳
Alicia Magleby I feel like a perv for having the hots for him lol
kiki girl don't feel ashamed! Being older isn't always a bad thing 😂
kiki it's the beard, it's how he seduces the ladies. XD
Jaiya Papaya that's exactly what I was thinking 😂
Alicia Magleby It's why he always makes Sir have more screen time. For them thumbnails.
About swimming in an infinity pool on an high-rise: I did it actually! :D Three years ago, I went to see my boyfriend who was on his year abroad in Singapore, and as a Christmas/Birthday/Valentines (all at once) gift, we spent a night in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel which has this wonderful infinity pool with a view on Singapore's skyline... That was just amazing.
There's also a penthouse in the artist district :D
I have missed your builds so much! I love your let's plays, but it's been over a month since a build and I have missed them.
Lmao I’m watching this in 2019 and he says “let’s stop talking about time sensitive stuff” and I was just like little do you know it’s 2019 now and a lot of stuff has gone down
...we thought "stuff went down" back then...
@@isabella7p It was only the beginning..
Little did we know what 2020 had in stall for us
... little did we know it would continue into 2021🙃
This is definitely one of your best builds yet... love it!
you're so good at space planning and architecture..ing... did you do a design course at uni or something??
eves no he didn’t
I adore your videos but your kitchen designs DRIVE ME INSANE! I design kitchens for a living so that is probably why 😂 when you put the dishwasher next to the oven I internally screamed 😱
The reason people couldn't play the sim3 was because of all the options for colors and open worlds. They gave us everything you're complaining of wanting and it broke the game. It was unplayable after a while even on well made gaming computers. The sims 4 is made to be compatible with a variety of computers and players. We can't have playability and everything we want. I'll sacrifice color swatches for playability any day.
Brandy Milligan yes that's true. but I need pets in sims 4, otherwise it's not the right thing for me.
wouldn't mind having a cat trotting around in a penthouse
#NextUpdate/DLC
Honestly, I wish they didn't because if the game didn't run on my shitty laptop then I wouldn't be addicted to playing it.
THIS
I find your voice kinda calming idk. It kinda put me to sleep which is good since I have horrible insomnia.
You might not be into CC but Verankasims4 on Tumblr separates the bed frames to use with different mattresses... :-D
Ooh I'll check that out. He never uses CC unfortunately lol.
I never use to, but if I use CC now it's always Maxis Match.
Yup! Me, too. I just made the big switch from Alpha to MM because it just generally looks much better and my game runs smooth with it. No glitches with the items, and MM just looks like it belongs in the game, you know? :D
Yeah definitely, have you tried Peacemakers CC on tumblr, it's MM but slightly more detailed. It's freaking perfect and I decorate my house almost entirely with it xD
:O I just looked up the tumblr page and I am completely in love! Thanks :D Do you use WildyMiniatureSandwich? She's got amazing MM hairs and clothes (and even a teensy bit of furniture!).
You're such a creative builder and your commentaries always make me laugh
Brilliant. But: Can you build a starter home apartment? challenge!
As much as I hate this game and hate the fact I wasted a few hours in my childhood playing it, your videos are luring in my creative side to buying this game. Like Coaster Planet, I can spend a long period of free time just coming up with unique ideas for something; fortunately my wife is into building games as well and would not think less of me for playing a game that is basically a virtual doll house/simulation of life if I did purchase this game.
Is this going to be Max Tower?!?!
I got a small penthouse on the same lot for one of my 'Snobert' family member Sizzle and her alien husband Glaxian. It small now but I plan to expand it when something new arises in their life. I done this before with her grandfather Stan Snifferman who was a woodworker. the story goes he built the whole house and in the end it and it was a mansion. I admit doing it that way was fun. So I'm going to do the same with the Snoberts throughout their lifetime with this penthouse.
I will admit I do like your design. :)
Oh you bulldozed at least 2 flats ! I was wondering which building it was😄
This is one of my favourite builds yet! Absolutely stunning.
Also I'm glad they added new beds in City Living but it's still pretty difficult to match them with end tables / closets. :(
+ TIL James is 22. I feel so old now.
Can anyone tell me when the added different colour swatches to that super expensive base game bed?
Gracie H I just noticed that too! I suspect it was the patch before vintage glamour stuff because they also added new swatches to a bunch of base game lights. So excited that bed has new color swatches now and I don't think James even realized, lol!
I'm from sweden and i've swimmed in a pool on a roof in Stockholm it was AMAZING, love you ❤
You should have done a water theme because of the pool
Nate shaw that makes no sense whatsoever
xXPoison_HurtsXx me? No..
I see your problem with the large balcony spaces but I think apart from greenery and lounge chairs and maybe an outside dining table, they could have just been left airy and free of clutter, typifying the minimalism within. Lovely detail :)
You know it is 3 penthouse lots right?
pigandchickenextraAB yeah
pigandchickenextraAB what are the penthouses??
Liv Anderson The penthouses are lots on rooftops and the lots are in fashion district, art district and rich district
How did he manage to get those lots or a whole rooftop? I'm trying to figure it out but can't seem to find a solution...
The penthouses came with city living. If you want to make your own penthouse design from scratch you'll have to take one of the pre-existing penthouse lots and clear it.
There's this cool hotel I stayed right in downtown St. Louis with a pool out in the open on the 31st or 32nd floor! It gets windy, but it was cool. And, you climb up these stairs that go around this taller section that holds all the equipment, you go around to a balcony that overlooks the Mississippi River and the Arch is almost right in front of you! It was cool.
Move the supersim into this apartment the other one isn't very nice
YAS... just DO IT!
Even if they cannot give us more models, I just want more color swatches for the furniture. I miss putting marble counter tops like I used to do in Sims 3 to any model. If they could give us more variety THAT ACTUALLY MATCHES. that'd be awesome.
Anyway, great build! IT LOOKS AMAZING! Thanks for sharing. x
You should make this house the goal for Fredrick in the city living lp
I live in a penthouse on the 33rd floor in Miami and had the exact same problem of figuring out where to put my TV in a room completely filled with windows. It ended up blocking part of an amazing view of the Ocean. Also, basketballs falling from the sky is kinda no bueno. Patio furniture as well is really dangerous. Most people don't secure it and if a good wind storm comes through you loose pretty much everything. Learned that the hard way.
