I've lived in a 9 bedroom house with roommates. It was pretty awesome, to be honest. The place was huge and had a layout that made no sense, you didn't really bump into each other unless you wanted to. We had 2 kitchens, though, which helped a lot in that regard. NINETEEN bedrooms with only one kitchen? .... yeah that's gonna be a no from me, dog.
The bathrooms situation are even worse. With the kitchen, it’s can be shared easier. You certainly can’t just “share” a bathroom.
@@silvermeasuringspoons6462 you can if you believe 😌😂
@@courtykat except only one kitchen has a stove💀
My dorm building has maybe 30 bedrooms with only one kitchen. Needless to say, I avoid it all costs because it's always filthy and smells bad. We also have three bathrooms except they're more in the style of a public bathroom with 3-5 stalls in each and 2-3 showers. It sucks, but it's a college dorm so that's expected I think
I've heard 5-10 people ones, but 19 is next level.
Having a hard time convincing myself that this is a real and perfectly legal thing
Def not legal even if real
it is real i found the article. in terms of legality there's windows in every bedroom and most laws just require a bedroom to have a point of egress. this is like 2020s version of tenement housing though it seems awful. the main house looks alright but the "dorms" are icky.

@@JamesTurnerYT the picket fence in the kitchen?! Is that where one puts their child? For safety reasons of course. 😬
It used to be a nursing home before it was student housing. Imagine sticking someone's granny to live in the shed out back 😂
History behind the home - "Initially built in 1910, the property underwent major extensions in the 1980s and became a retirement and nursing home. It was later used for student accommodation. The most recent owner was an older woman, who lived in the property along with her tenants. Now, it is a deceased estate and the family has changed its classification from commercial to residential."
Do you have a link to the house or any pictures of it??
@@purplecactii I found a Yahoo Finance article by searching the text Prettyphile posted. You should be able to find it by searching "19 bedroom house Adelaide".
@@purplecactii name of article "$1 million: House with staggering 19 bedrooms hits the market". it has photos
@@carcass393 thanks!
The picture of the kitchen with the stove really cracked me up. It has a white picket fence in it, wth. 😂
@@carcass393 The entire time I was watching this, I was like, 'this looks like somewhere that could exist where I live' ..... It's less than 15 minutes away. I highly recommend looking at the photos, they're even more insane than James makes it out to be. The white picket fence in the kitchen with the stove completely cuts off access to the stairs that are there, I saw at least two fireplaces blocked with furniture- one with a couch (like a futon) and one with a set of table and chairs. It was a retirement/nursing home before it became student housing. Apparently at the time the article was made, there were five people living there (minus the owner who recently passed away), and the rent was $185 per week. I looked it up and the average rent in the suburb is apparently $500-$550, so.... it's a pretty good deal. They're looking for someone to buy it, but they're not sure whether it'll continue being student housing, or demolished and split into two houses.
One thing i've learned from building RL floor plans in sims, is take some liberties with them. Hallways that are one tile wide don't work in game play, sims are constantly blocking each other and start walking through walls or get stuck in them and auto teleport. Basically you have to make everything at least 1x1 bigger than the floor plan, especially because the sims furniture is WAY oversized. So a 2x3m room should be a 3x4m room in sims. etc etc. The house ends up looking much nicer and will actually function for gameplay.
I did my old and new houses floor plans and I had to do exactly this other wise it didnt look right and you couldn’t play in it
That’s a really good tip. As a starter builder thanks
I recreated my house by walking around and counting the 1×1 ceiling tiles and directly converting those tiles to tiles in-game and it worked out beautifully for me. But my house is fairly straightforward and doesn't have any awkward bits that would confuse a sim
I didn’t realize James was restarting the prison challenge 😂 Joking aside, this floor plan is insane
This will probably be perfect for your upcoming 100 baby series 😝
Deli just screamed in the distance 😂
Hahahahaha
😜
prison challenge
The 100 baby compound was my first thought too. XD
This reminds me of the sketchy places I had to stay to keep from being homeless. Definitely unpleasant, but I do like weird/quirky layout choices that make houses more unique. Like one house I lived in had doors to the outside on the third floor, but both of those doors led directly into the bathrooms, and you had to climb the most rickety ass staircase up the back of the house the entire three flights if you wanted to go through them.
These kinds of "houses" are definitely real, and they "prey" / cater to people who have no other choice other than being homeless. The developers who convert these monstrosities from "normal" flats into this kind of accommodation mostly take advantage of youngsters leaving care, immigrants and the most vulnerable of people whilst taking government or local authority funding, whilst making profit.
Sorry, did you use to live in the Winchester Mansion? That’s wild!
ah yes, australia's student rental housing crisis: sim edition. This was a very low-key educational video on australia's rental crisis and the often-terrible conditions many students end up living in and I am here for it
@@MmmmmmCoffee wasn't it repurposed for student sharehousing though?
I didn't see anything saying that. Apparently the back is rented out to long term tenants at the moment.
Yeah, it’s actually quite sad
The more I read about Aus the more it seems like a Mini version of the US
Vancouver Canada is very similar. I paid 1200 for a room literally the size of a closet and it was the best deal I could find
Now we need to see how James would tackle a 19-bedroom student accommodation build from scratch. I'm begging
This house has prime potential for the 100 baby challenge. Even if you combine some of the rooms or change some into bathrooms, you can still reserve a nursery wing vs child/teen rooms.
I’m definitely feeling nursing home with this build. With the new pack hopefully adding more elder-friendly activities with the new rec center lot type, this could be perfect for them!
That's dark, man.
It is a 1910's nursing home.
@@MmmmmmCoffee the extension in the 80s was part of the nursing home too. It's only fairly recently it because student accommodation
I'm guessing the cellar and the kitchen picket fence area can be used just incase the elders "get out of line"
@@NiaJustNia I hadn't seen anything actually referring to it as student accommodation. The nursing home part does make a bit more sense of the intended use/layout.
It all makes SO much more sense once you realise it was once a nursing home. It explains all the weird doors, and pass-through rooms, and odd bathrooms
Imagine having once lived in this place and now seeing James building it :D
No friggin way, really????
@@alalalala57 Not me lol
@@alalalala57 It was a nursing home then student accommodation, so the chances are pretty good that someone who's at least been inside it at some point in their lives, even just to visit, is pretty decent
@@NiaJustNia makes sense, weird place to buy for just one family...unless maybe your very rich and constantly have family staying over
OMG! This is too insane to not furnish James! haha!
You need to do a collab with some other Simmers and have each of you guys do a specific set of rooms and then see what it looks like once everyone is done!
When you decided to build it in Del Sol Valley it all made sense. That lot is so big only a 19 bedroom house would work 😂
I saw this on Reddit and immediately thought James is going to sims this.
Yeah it was posted on James' subreddit I think we were all hoping he would tackle it!
Same
Except i live in australia and its used for student accommodation though ive personally never used it
When I saw 19 bedrooms I thought it was gonna be a ridiculously expensive giant mansion. But this… this I could’ve never predicted. I’ve never heard of such a thing! In a regular neighborhood? It’s truly a monstrosity! Lmao
Loved how you put all the rooms in quotations when talking lol, I mean really, could we even call this a “house”? More like a claustrophobic compound lol. These poor students.
The more I watch the greater sense of horror I feel about this house. I mean truly…
tfw before it was for students, it was a nursing home... "OK pop pop, time to move into your new place! We'll visit, promise!" O_o
This house looks like a nightmare to me, but I've seen a show about a family with that many kids. This house could make them probably very happy. Well done on this monster of a floorplan James! I'm glad you went above and beyond to do some interior as well.
I feel like there are DEFINITELY not enough bathrooms for this
Edit: there's a lot of toilets, not a lot of showers
yes, and besides the queing for a bathrooms.. imagine having one or two washing machine/dryer combo with that many people
Yeah thats absolutely my issue with it. Also wth is with the bathroom with 2 showers?
omfg i found the video tour of it. the bathroom with the two showers next to each other - its just frosted glass. you would absolutely see the other person showering next to you. Very sims actually because they would be blurry
@@hez_am_i2448 lol!
I saw the original article when it came out, it was actually a type of nursing home in the 1980s and went from residential (when orginally build) to commercial and recently after the owner died, (who rented out the rooms - mainly students rented it). The property was changed to residential again and is now up for sale. Most likely will be bulldozed and new housing will be built.
In the lounge, a Murphy bed would make it a reasonable optional bedroom (for what passes as reasonable compared to the rest of that house). This is quite the build.
I looked at all the photos of the house and I believe the lounge just has a double bed in it, just out in the open it’s crazy
@@breadcrumbhoarder Oh no. Just...no. I feel for everyone who ever lived in that house. In the Sims, the Murphy bed makes sense because that's the bridge for multi-use home areas. But that place seems to be...there's a 2x3 space - let's shove another bed there. The reality of this place hurts. I've got to look at it when I'm not on mobile; I love a good horror show and this comes close. *sob*
@@kymellin honestly it’s not all bad like the floors and walls seem to be in good shape…
@breadcrumb hoarder I guess be grateful for the basics? I've been trying to figure out the best Sins scenario for the build. Top contenders right now is a simulated motel using the roommate system or 100 babies. The concept of this build has been a nice distraction for the day.
Aside from this being a "house" and the maze of a floor plan, this is fairly normal for a college dorm building. It's not super different than the one I live in, except mine is three stories for about 30 rooms.
I feel like a Spellcaster could buy this, adopt a bunch of abandoned occult kids and try to give them a better future 😄
I’m halfway through the video and I was literally just thinking. I hope James uploads this so that we can renovate it and then you said that’s what you thought you should do. I think this would be a really fun house to renovate!😊😊
I checked the real house, and you honestly made it look so similar and yet so much better, haha! The kitchen that has a cellar entrance actually has a white picket fence around the stairs to get into the cellar! Definitely a quirky place.
thats not a house, thats a compound.
This feels like it’s a layout of a fundie home where the parents actually respect each child’s privacy and give them their own space 😂
I read a domain article on this place earlier that said it had been originally used as a nursing home.
I've lived in a house with 17 bedrooms. It was a sorority house and it was designed as a sorority house, but there were 17 rooms. They were tiny and we slept 2 to a room. It was so much fun to live in a house with 33 of my closest friends (plus the house mom, whose apartment made 18 bedrooms total).
For anyone wondering the real house this is based off of sold for AUS $1.11M which is roughly $717,000 USD
I saw this house online the other day 😂 it’s not too far from where I live! It was fun following the floor plan while watching you build it.
The real house looks even more depressing than when James was building it 😮 Going to download it for sure trying to make something out of it without demolishing to many walls. It’s a challenge to make it better looking and livable the way the lay out is.
I suggest a shell challenge with some odd rules. 1. You can't delete any doors or windows (You can move/replace them) 2. You can repurpose rooms but have to be able to sleep 19 sims
I don't know about everyone else, but I want to see James furnish this whole thing.
James finds the blueprints for a creepy compound. Let's Gooo!
This feels so seedy like you would walk past it and cringe from crime
After looking at the original listing I have two things to say:
1- James I'm impressed at how much your build matches the original
2- I've seen prisons with better facilities and bigger rooms
I just binged the entire high school years series over the past couple weeks, so much fun! I’m excited to see Gen 3 of the series and how they will grow up
Is this weird? My college dorm was essentially a giant "house" stuck in the middle of a normal suburban neighborhood. Had way more than 19 rooms. If I had to guess I'd say at least 70. Honestly I liked it better than the normal on-campus dorms. Most of the rooms were singles, so you didn't have to share, and we had semi-private bathrooms (private bathroom shared between 3-4 people) instead of big communal bathrooms like standard dorms. And being on a normal street was nice. It you felt like you were in the real world, not locked away in some weird dystopia where everyone is 18-24.
The only thing it was missing was air conditioning. Dear god, the lack of air conditioning killed me in the warmer months.
EDIT: ok, having seen more of this layout I retract my question. we may have had a giant house in a suburban neighborhood with a ton of rooms, but at least our layout made sense what the hell is this
How many people per kitchen did you have? Or were you allowed to have hot plates? My friends happily added bedrooms in an apartment living room to keep their rent low, but opening their fridge was a nightmare.
Oh I'm definitely renovating this into a nice 8 bedroom home.
From the listing “This highly sought after coastal home offers an incredible floorplan” lmao well that’s a bit of an overstatement!
Theres a house similar to this one near my college. It looks like two big normal houses next to each other but it actually is a mega house with 24 bedrooms, 2 common areas and every bedroom has a small bathroom in it (shower, sink and toilet nothing fancy). I know cause when I moved for college I went to tour that place. It's actually very nice.
Someone get Kevin to use this for his next attempt at having too many roommates
I’m so glad you’re building this! I’ve been seeing it shared everywhere.
James! I challenge you to completely renovate this build in modern contemporary vibes. My conditions are that you can add rooms, move rooms, but cannot delete any of the currently existing rooms/walls. Good luck! Sending love to you and Deli all the way from Scotland 🏴💗.
It could be a fun challenge to try and renovate this house into something awesome. You could remove walls but not add any new ones.
I'm shocked that at any point that was once a functional nursing home. I know the 80s could be wild, but not putting nana, pop-pop and Mrs Matheson in the back sheds wild.
Somehow it being weird student accommodation makes it a bit worse. The rooms with lots of doors were probably prep/drug rooms or office or overnight nurse accommodation. Now they've been forced into being bedrooms, it's so much weirder
As someone who lived through the 80’s I can’t imagine putting any elder (ok, maybe the remaining Nazi scientists and the like…nah, too nice and humane for them) in this “facility”. Just wow.
It would be so much fun if you would make a series of building real life super weird and bizarre houses. The weirder the better. 😂
I loved that you made this house. I saw the same article this was in and was pretty keen to recreate it. I chose to just stick with what felt like the original house so I don't have 19 bedrooms but yours looks amazing. I always love watching your builds.
The amount of bedrooms reminded me of the prison challenge from 8 years ago hahahah
Lol I googled this house and man the inside….. lol
Lol I was going to try building this when I saw the floorplan a few days ago! Great Aussie minds think alike 😉
It’s the fact I’m counting 3.5 bathrooms for 19 bedrooms. Ones a master, and one has two toilets. Getting ready in the morning or ready for bed at night sounds like a NIGHTMARE
Reminds me of the 3 brothers house with teeny tiny rooms squished together like a jigsaw puzzle.
I renovated this and turned it into a police station/prison. It's got cells, interrogation rooms, evidence lockup and "the yard" where Sims can get their required time for exercise. I'm actually pretty proud, it was fun to build. I kept it pretty much the same, except some walls got knocked down to allow for bigger cells.
Drink everytime he says door ( any variation)
When I was in college, our whole class traveled to a conference in another state and we stayed in a place almost exactly like this. It was an old lady's house and she had built like a gazilion of tiny bedrooms to rent to students. But it was kind of worse than this for 3 reasons: 1) there was, I kid you not, only one bathroom and one shower for all the rooms, and the door was broken 2) the whole thing was on the second floor of her house, and the stairs to get there were really really steep and 3) we had to share the ridiculously small bedrooms, so it was like two people sleeping together on a single bed in these really small rooms. Oh, and you could tell that she actually divided every room in half at some point, because all the windows were like half in one room and half on the other, the wall was built like in the middle of the windows. It was not a pleasant experience.
Discover University shower stalls also work with allowing multiple sims to shower without issue. They used those in the dorms. As I write this though, I wonder if it’s because it was a dorm lot the showers worked that way…
this feels like prison architect
The only way you could technically fit 19 Sims into that house, is if you used the For Rent update and use the cheat to increase the amount of Rental Units and just basically turn each of the bedrooms into a separate rented unit. And probably just make the rest of the building a shared space. But either way, that house plan looks like a nightmare and an eyesore. XD
This “house” is something you would fin in The Twilight Zone
the bed/lounge is genuine, another article had interior photos and it was a double bed, fireplace and a couch
A 19 bedroom house oh my goodness
Reminds me of being in a college dorm, but worse because the floorplan is so confusing.
19 is still not enough for all the Bigwallets (and their egos) 😅
This in the middle of a suburb is WILD. Imagine the noise. 😭
19 bedrooms but only 2 bathrooms, even with 5 toilets, 1 of them is an ensuite. That's not gunna be fun for the unfortunate people staying there...
7:58 James: Because it is... a lot.
My mind: Of course it is. A residental lot
Would be interesting to see what this looked like when it was built in the 1910 and then after initial expansion in 1980!!! It’s current configuration is a hot mess so maybe make this a reno or shell challenge?
Imagen ringing the bell/knocking to this house and everyone running at the same time through the whole house to open the door
Maybe its an orphanage, this is where your sims Can buy, i mean adopt a child😁
Its amazing how your version makes this house look way better than the actual photos do
Legitimately impressed how well you matched the exterior
Ok as soon as you said it was student accommodation that made slightly more sense but THAT'S IN A REGULAR SUBURB RIP THEIR NEIGHBOURS
lol my first thought was a group home but student housing makes sense too
Why is it all on one floor too? 😂 it probably would look less weird if they made it smaller & 2 stories.
It's wasn't built as student accommodation. It was built over 110 years ago as a nursing home.
I feel bad for anyone living in it, it looks like a death trap in case of a fire. It feels like city council turned down an apartment complex, due to safety concerns or local regulations, and the builder created this gem instead.
I saw this on one of the Sims Facebook groups and saved it with the hopes of trying to build it 😅
Omg, Just looked at the photos of the inside. Somehow, it's even worse than I have imagined. You should have added the "stairs down" with the white picket fence! 😂
i'd like to see you revisit this house in the new landlord pack
I looked up the house after watching and it’s actually only has two bathrooms.
& you can find photos of the interior on Daily Mail.
It’s very bizarre!
i kept imaging this as the dorm reginald almost stayed at for your highschool years lp
This is the most random house ever if you look at the photos on the website, one room has a guitar amp, a couple rooms have computers, random mideval shield, break room area and a kitchen area and random room with a refrigerator and a large wardrobe. This place is so random lol. Feel like it fits into a legal grey area lol. Start over maybe, maybe not may be more expensive to build new then to remodel.
I'm gonna have to look up those floor plans and make my own version because my inner drafter and years of drawing house plans is just screaming at me to tackle this one in the Sims.
for some reason I forgot for a second that this was a dorm-esque house.
So my mind went "this feels like someone played out a 100 sims challenge IRL"
I honestly would've sat here and watched you furnish this for like 3 hours lol
One room for sleeping, one room for office, one room as a gym, one for recording videos, one room for cimena, one for music, one for art, one room as a wardrobe, one room for dollmaking, soapmaking, for merch and for plushes and the rest for mineral collecting
I think that this could be a fun house to play in with maybe a young sim with big plans to renovate the build and turn it into something better. I may try it.
God I thought I’d lived in some dodgy student accommodation. What city is this in?? And is it actually near a university? 😂
There is definitely a secret staircase in this house somewhere leading to a basement where strange things happen. Guaranteed. Just crazy lol.
The walkthrough video of the real house is surreal. Cabinet doors falling off, ceiling with obvious water damage, all set to millionnaire housing music and slow fades lol
i really love the idea of applying floor plan into the sims i hope its gonna be a series in your channel, you did so well!
The fact that this house is only one story is horrifying… my aunt and uncle flipped a 13 bedroom house that was freaky to be in but it had a second floor and a basement. Also a spiral staircase which was fun tbh
10/10 for the effort to build this and doing a great job.
2/10 for it existing in real life.
I saw an article for this house. It needs a lot of love or a bulldoze.
As for using it in sims, I could see it being used in a 100 baby challenge. Each kid gets a tiny room and an extra room for desk/hobbies.
This looks like something GrayStillPlays would have concocted when he was doing Sims videos
I love when you do wacky builds like this and the previous video, and the AI house! They really keep the sims interesting
I kind of love this lot and I know a lot of people don't. In LA, there is a style of apartments called a "Bungalow court apartment" where many, essentially studio or 1 bedroom cottages are centered around a courtyard that has plants, sometimes a fountain. LA also has apartments that are large boxy buildings called Dingbats. I believe this lot is for people who are familiar with LA architecture to create one of their own, this would be challenging since Sims 4 doesn't let you build your own apartment for real, but that's what an awkwardly large lot in the middle of a bunch of houses would be used for.
Heyyy this kind of house + student housing is very common in my home country ahahah places where the home owners/"landlords" live in the same place is more trusted by the parents, it's indeed cheap mostly for single person like students or workers but lately there's a lot of similar places for couples too because you know property prices is getting ridiculous, I've been living in this kind of place since I was 15 from a 'house' with 12 bedrooms to 42 bedrooms, met a lot of amazing people since we're sharing kitchen, bathroom and lounge with others ahahah good times, thank you for sharing James! Keep up the good work!
I am aggressively excited to force my sims to live here as part of their "sorority" when in college. Live the pain.
with the for rent update this needs a revisit
This house could be really profitable in Sims 4 4 Rent.
Currently playing a sim who I plan to have a cult/commune. This hell house will be perfect, thanks James!
19 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and one kitchen. I've just witnessed irl Hunger Games.
