Eco Lifestyle BUILD & BUY Overview (Sims 4) 

THANKSSS LOVLEY JAMESS❤

love ya james

I'm super stoked for this pack!!!! Love watching your videos!!!!

Could you always put doors anywhere on the walls?

I don't know if it is new or already a thing for a while, but the timeline shows the sections as well :0 Like, even the names are shown in it if you hover over it!

Using fences don’t count as floor tiles for tiny homes too right?

@@BrittanyMeh I think it only does if you make it a room

that's so true I hates them for same reason lol they should make something about it

that's what's great about the railings, sims can't place stuff on top of them

Sims only put things on half walls if there are flat tops on them. With a railing like this, they shouldn't place things on them.

Floor tile review video coming soon

James Turner thank you

Deligracy hi deli omg!!

I love seeing my fav simmers interact!! Lolll

Love you guys' friendship lol

Also James several weeks ago asking for build idea. Me: shipping container... James: likes it, got to building. Me: dang that was fast, awesome!

hahah James Berner

I think it would be nice, it would give some items more versatility and you would be able to have more things in the game too

Lol. For non-builders like me, I like the grouped items. It makes decorating easy.

Not being able to centre windows has driven me crazy for YEARS 😂😭

I've been waiting for YEARS for it

No, but it would have been nice if they had been stackable. Watch how many times James fucks it up when placing them. Maybe they'll do that...in a year?

I mean I was like IS THIS SOME SORT OF MAGIC OR THE DOORS ARE REALLY WHAT DOES HE HAVE ANY EXTRA ACCESS OR HOW IS THAT WHAT

Mads D honestly like why can we not put two windows on top of each other, that doesn’t even seem like a hard fix 😒

or "It's kinda cool"

He's right though. 😭

Semaj does this with every pack.

He's not the only one.

Sarah Knapp I can’t wait til the CC creators come through and separate everything for us 🙏🏼

Kinda like German kitchen furniture, where you take the cabinets and appliances with you every time you move lol!

Oh awesome, thanks for the explanation! I’d never heard the term before but the principle behind it is super appealing

oh nice! I just thought it was traditional joinery (like dovetails) that don't need nails. I love that we look to the past for ideas for our future

@@Seiferboi Cabinets too? Wow, I've only heard about taking the appliances.

@@Nillu89 Doesn't it rather depends on what kitchen you have? I don't have a build-in-kitchen, so of course if I would move without having a kitchen in my new flat, I would take my stuff with me? ;D How is that a German thing though? ;D

Yes! I'm a wheelchair user and I'd love to have the opportunity to make myself in game. Also they could have crutches/sticks, they could have assistance dogs, arm and leg splints/casts and back supports. Then they could introduce visual and hearing impairments etc. Some people wouldn't want it so it could be a base game update or at most maybe a stuff pack xo

yknow for a series as inclusive as the Sims, I really am surprised this isn't a feature they have added yet.

@@jlemonni36 It would be great to add the training of assistance dogs.

Walkers would be nice too. I have to use one irl, and while it's nice to see yourself in an ideal world where everyone is healthy, I think it's more impactful to be able to see yourself as you are still being able to be happy and successful

@@jlemonni36 I agree, that would be really great! Also people with different heights, for example I'm short stature so it would be cool to make myself too. And also it will make everyone of different disabilities feel included too.

All the floor tiles... and once I realised - I couldn't record it, we don't have access anymore RIP

@@JamesTurnerYT😂😂 hope no one will get mad at you. And I just wanna say that I love your videos, all of your builds are great and watching you do them also helped me to get a little better at building. Thank you for your hard work ♥️♥️♥️

@@JamesTurnerYT don't worry we all expect it hdjdjdjd

He didn't show off the glass and steel canopy, and I think he missed out the narrow dresser that was in one of the pre-made rooms but this was such a good overview and really helpful. And I agree that being able to separate out some of these items would be SO GOOD.

I've been watching some of his series with a fair bit of gardening, so I was surprised that he didn't say anything about the self-watering planter!

It would've been perfect for tiny living too!!!

I'm sorry, my brain bugged and I read that you wash your hands with used toilet water and I gasped.

I don't know... The pack's about enviroment and they added a bath tub instead of a shower. Don't they know bath tubs waste so much water?

@@Aphelia. yeah, but in real life you can reuse bath water. It would be cool if they added a feature like that

There is a cc version of this if you play on pc

I no the toddler bed is so GOOD 😎😁

*know*

Ikr The sims team is stepping up their game

@@larasims2973 haha, I think they're intimidated by the new competion! XD

Nox Darkling Rags to Recycling?

Rags to rescue

I am going to play rags to rags. Someone who just never makes it in life with the new trait where they don’t want to make money 😂

YESSSS

Looks like we found how Ambrose will make money!

They use them liberally in the community spaces.

FlyingMonkies325 punctuation please.

Architecture student here, those stylized windows (the one with the framing) are basically equipped with sun barriers/sunshades and they're used a lot in modern architecture to lessen sun/heat penetration inside your homes and saves energy from trying cool houses. The triangle windows basically let natural light inside your house more because of its angle so you use less energy in lighting. It'll be really cool if those windows have bills reduction effect since that's what they're literally made for lol I personally understood their context in this eco living pack but yeah I agree, the average person prob won't know how to use it or even find it strange. They should really do demonstrations for that or even have sample buildings that used it properly. Altho, I do find the interior ones with the huge frames strange since you don't normally use them inside since its just a waste of space and resource trying to build something not needed which contradict the eco-living concept lol but I really shouldn't over-think too deeply for a game 🤣🤣🤣

Alyana Drua ahh fellow Architecture student who came here to say basically this but someone else already has done it! We had a container project way back my first year of Architecture in 2014 and this pack is giving me so many of those vibes.

I started one of those but I need to edit and upload the videos lol! I have the CC version of shipping container build items, so I'm able to build those in my game.

Riches to RAGS! 🤢

what did it say? 😂

@@sunshineyrainbows13 The loney Potted Tree - This poor tree used to be constantly surrounded by friends. But not anymore! It has been ripped from it's comfort zone and added to the Sims' supply for their placement pleasure! Enjoy and happy decorating. There are two more separated smaller potted plants. And one with all three together.

After this comment I just had to find it. It's funny

@@betweenworlds2548 omg I hoped they'd address it! How funny!

The drinking game and the "drink responsibly" don't work together. Is one or the other.

No thanks, I like being alive

Yeah, I actually really like the beds from this pack.

Yeah it just looked like the island living feature of cleaning up the island but in the city. But the "eco" furniture and building items seem really nice :)

i feel exactly the same way

According to simsie's video, they got these early access packs over a week ago

@@catman6089, editing takes time! :) plus he has a life.

xD It's so sad cause he organised everything perfectly and even styled the room so the tour would be entertaining and pleasing That's still the best building review we can get, great work Jaymes

They also did that with the lama game table

Exactly what I said out loud when I was watching this

@Leov The reason why they are cutting corners is that each of the items would need their own entity-tag (and there are a lot of grouped items) which would take hours to do and then they would need to send a patch, but if they wanted to not have that work then they should've done it from the beginning. Anyway, there are mods for that so they probably won't do it anytime soon/ever

Although I totally understand wanting to be able to separate the items (especially the plants in this one, omg...), I kind of understand. I think part of the problem was something they mentioned in one of their live streams - that they don't think we want a long catalog to scroll through, but that could probably be solved with more categories, in my opinion. They used TS3 as reference for their reasoning, but TS3 also didn't have a search bar, lol. But I understand. Even now, it's kind of hard trying to find things in the catalog when I actually need them.

I was not looking forward to it, but I feel like it has the potential to be the best pack we’ve had in a while.

I absolutely agree with both of you!

I watched the 2 hour livestream they did about eco lifestyle yesterday. They really really did not do this pack justice with the trailers. It's quite possibly the most packed pack we've had since who knows when

Same im looking forward to building a tiny eco living house cause the two together are giving me so many building ideas

@@katy8605 yes yes yes! I couldn't have said it better!

"James Turner previously known as thesimsupply- what is he dead?"

It isin base game so dont get the expansion just for the ladders!

It is

Quickest ive ever gotten drubnk

And another shot for “loooooove”

i did and now i wanna pass out

one for "I want this separately"

💜

Vixella is that you 😂

It’s called a chefs kiss and it’s magnificent

ME TOO

Honestly, I'd pre-ordered when it first came out, and that toddler bed just made me so happy I did.

Haha relatable 😅

Harri Rose oh that's so funny oh my god!! even my neighbors are laughing at this , you need to be a comedian.

@@moudahaddad1484 Shh. Nobody likes you. Go away. If you don't like a joke in the comment section, just move on.

@@Anna133199 the heck? can't you see it it's so funny i almost died from laughing, she must be comedian or something.

@@moudahaddad1484 Glad you enjoyed it :D

And for tiny homes!

@@antonwulp And for treehouses! So many possibilities 😍.

I just built a tiny cabin with an attic room that ladders would be perfect for!

@@tehribbons1192 Yes attics could be so cool with a ladder. I love to just put some stuff in an attic and the washing mashine and dryer, no idea why xD.

@FlyingMonkies325 This shows how the right small update can add a ton of new possibilities for evryone :).

I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 because the game pack and stuff park are coming out this year, I was like well at least I can save my money for those.... But now I want these build/buy items so bad! x

I always reserve judgement until James does the build item overview! Thank you, @James Turner

That's because it's not about eco living but about a 'recycled' aesthetic. I've seen palettes being manufactured specifically for palette furniture, and the same goes for shipping containers and industrial-looking metal pillars. No way this is green living.

Amber Van Eycken baths would actually be much better for this. A shower runs constantly. While a bath can be filled and then turned off and keep being filled.

@@frenchbreadstupidity7054 yeah thats true, but you have the water collector thing and when it comes to reducing (water)bills, a shower is the way to go

@@kaiserslavaniaashur1623 A bath is about 250l (depending on the size ofcourse), a ten minute shower takes about 100l, is what i was taught in middle school

Amber Van Eycken huh. Thats hella weird tbh. You would think a bath would be better but i guess not.

So true!! When he put the wall swatches together and they were just ever so slightly off I was like WHY?! 😂😂

I really want eco lifestyle but it's so expensive 😭 I'm unsure about torrenting it because I don't know how I would add it to my game and I play on my mom's laptop which she uses for work and I don't want any viruses 💔💔💔

I was really hoping someone would comment this!!

I lost it.

Killed me when I watched that part 😂

And better builds from Simsie.

And Edits from Plumbella

Hi Deli😂 just wanted to say that I love your videos, especially the build ones. Hope you're doing great!

Wow deli, you took my thunder.

OMG! Hi Deli!

Love u😚😚😚

Thats exactly what I was screaming in my head as he was saying all of that aha.

That’s what I thought too, I was a bit disappointed by the trailer cause it really didn’t make the pack look appealing and worth the price. But I do love all the build mode items, definitely a lot in there that you can use over and over again :)

Yes! Like I wasn’t going to buy it because the trailer made it seem like it wasn’t for me, but the b/b stuff is just * chef’s kiss* top tier

People always complain about everything. Some people are never happy .

@@bumblebeez1995 so true

@@bumblebeez1995 unfortunately, the simming comunity will never be pleased. literally right after ladders were anounced people started asking for bunk beds

Me too, that’s exactly what I thought! Wish there were kitchen counters tho to match all these new items :/

Same! I will definitely be looking at a Tiny Living, Eco Lifestyle, (laundry day?) bundle.

If u look up on the internet instantgaming you can get it pre ordered for 28 or so. It's not that big of a sale but at least it is something!

Elena Diaz Davila tell me more 😳

Elena Diaz Davila ooh i Googled it. Is it safe? Will I get a code to origin if I buy it?😅

*eXtReMe*

Rags to Renewable

I know right?!?! They are fantastic. I also love the new windows

Agree! When I saw the first trailer I was a little disappointed but i think I will actually love this pack

Or aesthetic 🙈😂

And this one as a half-wall topper would look rather nice in my Craftsman builds.

I have 3 half wall toppers that aren't flat though. The glass one, one that looks like a wooden fence and I've forgotten the other one (it's the last one on the list) but I'm pretty sure there's a third. None are CC, but they're probably all from packs of some sort. EDIT: Not saying that we shouldn't get more though, more would be nice.

There's just something about that accent....

If you use CC I have to recommend Harrie and Felix's "Tiny Twavellers"-pack. I don't remember if it's out for everyone just now, us patreons got it first, but oh my God, the pack is BEAUTIFUL, and the dollhouses and toddler beds there are amazing

@@trude8073 It comes out June 8th for non patreons :)It looks so gorgeous i cant wait

Angelina Mendez it truly is a beauty!

Absolutely , same here. I found the first trailer so interesting and seeing all the things you get makes it even better

nah tiny living was definitely supposed to be a part of the university pack

@@lianna9492 Especially because of the washer/ dryer combo.

I feel like the moment they could exclude 32 bit players they dived into better stuff, but like you said, it will take more than basic update to make up for years of mediocre content.

I’m excited about the ladders. I’m eagerly waiting for June 2nd

@@KikiDeeki isn't it june 5th? im confused now lol
