I built a ** DEBUG ** house in The Sims 4 

I loove all the lore details like the cracks in the closed off wall, the cars in the garage and everything else, this really feels like a real place where people live

By now there should be an “Aah Batuu🤩” counter😂

The stairs you needed for the outside are base game. 2nd row, 4 along in a different swatch :) Edit: also yes you can make things dirty by default. Move a sim in and then shift click appliances, plumbing or counters and click “make dirty” :)

Yes! I’d love to see this in the Dream Home Decorator series. Since she upgraded some stuff she could take that with her into her “new” home. It could be that someone sold her a lemon, meaning they made it sound so good and when she gets there she realizes it’s not. But honestly I can see you doing a lot with this place as the series goes on and she starts making more money

“Oooh Batuuuu!!!!!” Is the new “Katrinaaaaaaa” or “fuuuu-wahhhh” of this LP.

So much James content, I feel like it's Christmas! Thank you for uploading everyday, your videos are the highlight of my day

The difference between the houses in Del Sol Valley and LA in real life is the fact the houses are actually affordable with ample parking. It really breaks the immersion.

Oh hell yea this will be so cool for the Dream Home Decorator series!

for the chimney, you could try stacking it a few times, so it can be in the correct place. if you used t.o.o.l you could even flip the bottom one upside down and you'd be golden

Love the idea of her eventually “buying out” the other owners haha. Maybe make her “pay” to remove the houses? Edit: you just said that in the video haha. Wasn’t that far yet!

Now this is what the EA had in plan for that alley house in Ecolifestyle! But james made it possible!😂

The windows in the back of the debug houses are not from Seasons, they are from Cats and Dogs!

I love when simmers build stuff that’s shitty and gross on purpose... so good

Not me thinking when you added the garage that she'd be "renting" a garage apartment on the lot till she can get the house "next-door ". 🤣

I think it’d be cool if the second bedroom actually became a renovated walk in closet/wardrobe. Love your content always, James!

Really appreciate the daily uploads James! Thanks so much for putting so much time and effort into the videos. They are basically my life now. 😅

I love the idea of saving up to buy the "neighbouring lot" then do an expansion or a straight up knock-down-rebuild.

I want Hazel's dream house to feature Batuu aesthetics. Let James run wild with it!

Love all the detail on the lot and the recreated shell house! The first part of the video being spent exploring the debug menu was well spent! This is a terrific next home for Hazel❤️

I feel like the fireplace is like a gem waiting to be uncovered. Like when people put carpet over nice hardwood floors.

This house is actually perfect (the entire idea with the other houses on the property as well), I really like it. I'm currently in the process of creating a playthrough myself with a single dad and his young daughter, and this house is actually super cool for a starter house. Definitely gonna download and use it!

Love the alley way!! It's so realistic!! Really like the idea of expanding the house, it sounds like James having his own eco lifestyle game play trying to clean up the place and add on value to something greater. Also, thank you James, lately we are so spoiled by your videos!! The uploads are amazing!!

I've been watching random videos in my recommended waiting for you to upload this 😂 thank you for always supplying great content!!

Yaaaaaayyyy James coming through with daily uploads

I really like this house in this location. It feels like a lot of older American neighborhoods where the original houses were knocked down for highways to come through, or replaced with warehouses and empty lots, but a few houses remained for whatever reason, and now they're abandoned or really cheap.

EA needs to hire James to decorate around lots. You are very good sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

the funny thing is that this house full of potential is going to be smaller than the current apparment 😂

James is such a cheerful guy that gets excite over the little things like trying to put a train in the garage makes me smile.

the excitement at everything Battuu always makes me smile. As one of the ten people who liked that pack, it's nice to see someone not hate on it every time it shows up in their catalog XD

keep saying "Ahh Batuu!" and I might, JUST might buy the pack to also be able to say "Ahh Batuu!" while I play the sims

When you're renovating you can swap the kitchen and living room over so the living room has the fireplace.

James definitely likes his deliberately awful houses. Since he redecorated the three brothers house he is making hazel live in a dirty house.

I am waiting for the day that when James says “Ah Batu!” He actually uses Batu

“Ah, Batuu!” Is the modern version of the “KATRINA!” of olden times 😅

James... never stop with the batuu stuff. 7:14

The house definitely perfect for the LPs, can't wait to see Hazel decorate it already 😂 although I really do love the kitchen, especially the tuck away fireplace, it's definitely a run down house alright 👏😆

I’ve been waiting for someone to build a replica of a debug house. This great.

There is actually a matching individual post for the chainlink fence, I use that one all the time in my cheapo houses :)

I hate the sizes of the lots in this world too so thanks for making this! I’ll download it for my legacy family who live there. I didn’t even think of using debug houses to fill up space.

James is so creative with his builds, I love this so much! I can't wait for Hazel to move in here 👀

why is it so fun watching james design a run down townhouse build lmaoo i actually loved this build and all the realistic decorations you found

I feel so spoiled with these daily uploads!! And I would love to see Hazel move in and renovate this house!

Sim, contemporary style item: 😃👏👏 James, Batuu item: 😃👏👏

I absolutely ADORE this!! Love that "we" will play in it! I really like that you tried to make it realistic!

Absolutely use it in the lets play for Dream Home decorator it is awesome

You could extend the chimney by doing half walls and then putting it ontop! X

Deep Into the lore you say? Okay, I gotchu. Once upon a time an alien couple, scared of the mighty Batuu pack, fled to earth. They lived happily for many many years, until people noticed they weren’t aging up, they where also vampires (which is also another reason they fled space, cause they were two different sims type which is though to be imposible, so they’d been on the run). So they built a second house right next to there old one on the same lot, they even made their lot have an ally way and road signs and everything, so I’d be more believable. They then faked their own deaths and changed their human costumes to look different and moved into the new house. However they’re down on their luck now. Moneys tight, so they’re renting out the third portion of their lot to a human until they need to fake their deaths again... Also they recycle. 8:30

Paying for graffiti from buy mode (a more realistic interpretation): Real estate agent: there is some graffiti on the wall by your house, so you will have to pay for that Me: Doesn't graffiti drive the property value _down_? Why would I have to pay _more_ for a wall with graffiti on it? Real estate agent: I don't know what to tell you, you're buying a wall with extra stuff on it. It costs more.

I wanna see it in a lets play more than I've ever wanted to see anything in a lets play before, lets put it that way. Use it, it looks awesome!

I love in nearly every one of James’ videos he gets so excited about items from Batu, never gets old lol

here's to loving everytime you say Batuu

I love watching you build these lots. The "needs love" lots. You're so creative!

I love to watch James do wacky builds and have fun

Omg! YESS JAMES! It would be really cool if when Hazel would be rich enough, but sick of living in the city, yearns to find a suburban house here, It would be perfect as everyone would be like Girrlll you can get a wayyy better house somewhere else for that rate, but she sees potential in this place like you as the interior designer she is!😭❤ Please James!

Amazing work James! This is so perfect for dream home decorator gameplay. Thank you for uploading so much currently.

I love that every time you get a batu item you get so excited! It makes me laugh every time.

At a certain point when she makes more money, she could "buy" one of the neighboring houses (duplicate the one you've built here) and she could remodel that one too so she can rent it out with the roommates feature.

Damn James, you're on fire lately! Really enjoying all the content!

This was such a great build!!! It would be awesome to turn the garages of the other homes into working living spaces for roommates. Then as you make more money, you could "buy" the lots next door like you were saying to expand your house and move the roommates off-lot. Could just add some extra fun to a play through :-)

thanks for uploading daily!

I’m really excited to see Hazel move into this run down home and make it her own. This video has really inspired me!! Love your content James!

I did this exact same thing! Was so impatient waiting for the pack on release day so I made a fixer-upper house that my decorator sim could eventually afford to fix up haha

james this is probably one of my favorite builds i’ve seen recently! this was so cool to see the re-creation and all the debug stuff, i know it was for the let’s play but i’d love to see more like this!!

I appreciate all the uploads James! Thank you😊

It’s perfect, I can not wait to see how Hazel renovates this house ❤️. This is so far one of my top three fav let’s plays lol.

Using the plot of the LP to guide the building process is something you do amazingly, always. It's genius. It gives the builds a lot of personality. Your dedication to the storytelling aspect of builds is inspiring. I was happy and excited the entire video hahaha

Thank You for uploading so much nowadays! Every morning I wake up happy to see another video by James Turner. It really makes my day.

Wow, James, you're so creative! It looks great but I can't wait to see what you'll do with it!

me: ah yes, a handicap curb ramp james: there's actually a driveway here me: ... or a driveway, sure!

James PLEASE do more builds like this .. its a work of art!!! You're super creative & i could watch you make builds w debug all day! Your eye for detail is amazing!!

I love the idea of this house for Hazel, can't wait to see the Let's Play. Also because of you, I always say "Ah Batuu" when I see an item from there lol

James: “I guess we don’t need to put a fridge in because you usually move in with your own fridge” Me, an American: 😟 Excuse me??? I had to go back to rehear that

Alternate title: James appeals to the Home Owners' Association

No, you HAVE to use this for Hazel! It is perfect. Chef's kiss!

I love all of your builds, but for some reason I feel like this is my favorite. I can't explain it, it's just different and I guess feels more "real."

That kitchen looks a lot like the kitchen in first apartment. Huge old house, subdivided into apts, so you could really tell when they kind of squished a kitchen or bathroom into a room that really wasn't meant to have one. Fridge way on the other side of the room, standing alone. No storage space. Yup, that takes me back.

The only thing that makes me tolerate Batuu pack are James' hilarious reactions to its build-buy mode

Somehow you made this feel like my childhood house in Casula and I love it, I can practically taste the early 2000s

I literally love this, I’ve been obsessed with your Dream House Decorator series ever since you started it. You posting everyday is literally such a blessing.

I literally gasp every time I get a notification that James uploaded a new video. Thank you it makes me so happy

What if the other Bigwallet people move into the "houses" next to it eventually? :o It could be like a cute little compound of the current LPs!

I love the idea of purposefully making a rundown looking house to then renovate and improve during gameplay, don’t know why I’ve never thought of doing something that way

This is genius! I'm going to love seeing Hazel make this amazing!! It reminds me of the original 3 brothers house, but less 'maze' like.

Love it, yes you should use it in dream home decorator! Also cant wait to see what kind of farm house or cottage house you will come up with when cottage living comes out!

ive got my first uni exam tomorrow, and I'm trying to destress. Perfect timing james!

That first one you brought out - I taught my 10 year old how to build with a debug house and her house looks awesome. She did the interior herself of course and did the layout herself. She didn't take away any windows, but I think she did add some. Batuu has some wires - weird thing is - it does not look like wires in the icon - it's like a weird black with white stripe in the middle. When we build debug houses both my daughter and I, we place the debug house down, then draw around it with the walls, but don't close it off just yet. We pick a corner that's not got a window on it and keep that open for the time being. We take it section by section, grab the right colours for the outside paint and right windows, doors etc and add as we're going along - I hope I'm making sense - then when it comes to the roof I put in just a 1x1 room in the inside because if you zoom in close you can see inside the debug house which is just grass LOL. Then do the roof, hold down the alt key if it's not lining up correctly and once it's all completed then remove the debug house (or grab it and make it smaller for reference) and then close that house off. My most recent upload is a debug house from Get Together :) I try to keep it base game, but I do get carried away with some of the packs. It's fun. I am currently building the eco lifestyle apartments (thank you Deli) I watched as she had the grid turned on and started building from scratch so that everyone in base game only can enjoy it as well. Not finished yet :) will probably upload later on today.

Now I want "Ah Batuu!" merch... 😂

if you built a garage for your house, that could be where she hoards her stolen stuff

Thank you for the Sims overload recently, James! Absolutely lush seeing you really enjoy a pack that was made for you xD Just hope you're enjoying life behind the scenes as well, health first!

I really love it when James build rundown house like this! Its so realistic and fit for my sims. I dont like starting with nice houses.

I am so impressed at this little street you built and how seamlessly the real house blends on with the debug ones, and how the lot blends in with the whole neighborhood

Ahh, Hazel will thrive here.

James PLEASE put Hazel’s stolen stuff in her neighbor’s garage!! 😩😂

I've been tempted to recreate some of the houses from Debug, maybe I'll have to go and do that now. I love your idea of having fake filler houses on the lot. Also, I think the siding for those houses looks like some from Cats and Dogs.

I love builds like these, these run down, half debug, clustered hoarder lots are AMAZING!!! For fixing up it's perfect and even just as a decor lots in the world it looks awesome. Great job on this! Also for your lets play I think you should totally buy out the houses next door for 20k a piece, renovate, expand and then maybe move anyway. This particular lets play where you renovate a lot is so much fun!

I think the back of the house is actually supposed to be the front of the house but it doesn’t really matter 🤷‍♂️

Not a James Turner build video without “AHHH BATUU”. That could be a tagline or something 🤣

5:16 one thing Little Simsie has been doing with fences and mismatching gates, she uses a half wall, paints it however she needs. Adds a fence section, of one or two tiles, adds the gate. Then you have a matching gate and fence. Though it would be too expensive for this project.

"Ahhh let's add a baby! Yeaaaah" Love following this let's play, I'm working on my own Sims generation family, it's been mad tough lately but you give me inspiration!

Wow, this is a great idea! I think it looks awesome!
