I built "the perfect home" from The Sims 4 website 

Now please do a reno of this! This house has so much potential!

Now we need a video where you renovate this house, keeping “the essence” of it but maybe a little less…weird.

Ah, yes. The bathroom. That's the room I want to have 4 wall-sized windows, pointed directly at the steps leading to my front door. No privacy issues here.

i am always in such awe of how james can always tell what build strategies and items are used even if he can only see a little. this is such a cool build, great work

This house gives me such Sims 1 vibes. Awkwardly spacious, bizarre furniture choices, orange toned wood floors with red wallpaper... I LOVE IT!

I'd love to see the guru who built this react to this video, I wanna know which of the sneaky tricks like the bushes around the pillars were exactly right and what you may have gotten just almost right but was actualy done differently.

The screen rollover at the end is soooooooo satisfying. The bathroom without the door gives me so much anxiety though. 🤣

I'd love to see you use the shell of this house to make something functional in your actual style! this house definitely has huge potential and i feel like you'd do an amazing job

I love how creative you are for getting inspiration for your builds, I think it's the essence of your channel

This is such a testament to James’ build skills & knowledge! Great job James! 👏🏼 such a fun video 💚

1:42 “you can build your dream home, just demolish a national park” billionaires will buy sims now, they have been wanting that for ages! 6:40 i love in the picture how that easel in the right bottom corner looks like it’s inaccessible. That’s the Sims we love!

Your consistent passion for this game is inspirational! You must keep a notepad beside your bed at night so that when you wake up with another brilliant idea in the middle of the night you can write it down! This is the most hideous build I have ever seen and yet I love it! ❤❤❤😂😂

I'm always so impressed with your attention to detail, James. would love to see you renovate this one yourself OR you could turn it into a renovation challenge for the community and show us a video of you checking out the submissions.

I’m impressed with your terrain manipulation. It’s always hard for me to use.

It's amazing that you still manage to have such unique content after all this time. Thanks for being part of my morning procrastination.

The sheer effort put into this build 🥵 From one perfectionist to another, I feel your pain James! But it came out so good and looked so similar to the inspo. Worth it!

This was so entertaining! The house is the epitome of an EA build. I'm actually really excited to give this home a refresh, it has so much potential! You did a great job recreating it!

architecture student here! that style with the columns holding up the house and the huge windows covering all the walls is Le Corbusier’s five points of architecture.

Would love to see you makeover this house in your style, it turned out perfect!

We even got a little terrain tools tutorial built in! Just a few days ago i was trying to do something similar with terrain and I gave up 😩 Now I'm inspired to go back and try again!

This reminds me of how back when I was a kid and played the Sims 1 I used to sit down and watch the intro excitedly each time, and they built this funky looking house - so I tried to mimic the build myself (and back then I didn't even know screenshotting was a thing so I just saved, closed the game and reopened it to see how the house looked each time lol!)

Okay actually though, the line of wall lights as an art thing? That's pretty cool. I'd love to see you do a update/reno of this to evoke this original design but be made more functional.

James' attention to detail in these builds (recreations and originals) will always amaze me! This is so well done James it's kind of scary 😂

this came out great, would love for hazel to come out of retirement for one last gig to make this house functional

I’ve never been this early for a James video!! I guess there are perks to waking up at the asscrack of dawn

Next you should attempt the Sarah Winchester House floor plan 😊 or capture its essence with confusing hallways and rooms to nowhere and rooms leading through others

the 80's montage music for the speed build portions is a vibe

Okay, this is such an amazing recreation! You have so much Sims building knowledge and it shows here! Edit: Slight misspelling, sorry peeps

You know I've always known you had a bunch of genius to you but this right here is next level genius. You could be an architect or an advertising exec or anything with your set of skills. I'm just grateful that you decided to entertain us!

please renovate this build, it would be fun to watch

I work from home 3 days a week and honestly don't take many breaks but when I make myself take one it usually includes watching a few minutes of James. This was amazing how much you made your house look like EA's house. I would love to see a renovation of this with your touch. Thank you for filling my life with fun.

That music at 15:00ish is amaaaaazing!😆 I think this would be really fun to renovate. Nice job!

The music in this video is so cheerful head-booping. Would love to see this house as a shell challenge for James. Remix into his own style

Definitely a very cool build challenge! I loved watching you put this together. If there’s any other weird builds from early sims promo, I’d love to see you try it. Even the houses from the sims 1 and 2 intro/trailer videos!

As others have also said I would like to see a video of you decorating it how you would like!! Awesome job of recreating it though 👌🏼

I am so blown away right now. James showing who is the SIMS 4 building boss for sure!

How does James have the ability to not get bored while building this?!! Please can we have a renovation now with your own style on this build?

This by far is one of the best builds I've watched. I love how almost exact you came to the original. Thanks for this!!

I would love to see you make over this lot in the way you would do it please 😃

This is genuinely astonishing, just really blew me away how completely right on it was with the picture. You really are a true artist with such a unique eye and attention to detail. More important of all though, to me, is you’re really fun to watch and you brighten my day. There are a lot of great builders out there, but I you are charismatic and a good laugh, thank you! 🙂 You and Deli both make my day!

Can you please do an interior and garden renovation to this to make this build even more “perfect?” I would love to watch that

James always manages to have the most creative build ideas, and the actual execution is just next level!!!

That's terrific😄I'm not good enough at the house-building part, but I'll try to do it as soon as possible 😄

This is so cool! Doing a renovation of this would be so much fun!

The pathing in this house is just straight out of my bad Rollercoaster parks hahaha

As weird as the layout of this house is, I'm actually very inspired by the multi-level aspect of it. I NEVER touch terrain raising tools so maybe it's time...

This was so fun!! And really interesting/amusing to see how they built the house for photos. Impressive how James caught the tricks they used!

I would love to see a video where you renovate this to make it more practical. And it would be so cool if you could ask The Sims 4 team to provide you with the original file for this house so that you can compare your recreation to it. It would be awesome if they agreed to giving it to you. Also, I love the music! It has got some real nostalgia vibes.

Watching you slide the photo for comparison is so satisfying lol Build challenge where people send you a screenshot of their weird builds and you try and match the screenshot 😂

I've been loving all the content lately, but even as entertaining as some of the series are... this was amazing to me. I mean to be able to shut your brain off enough to really see what's actually going on. I never would have noticed that pool was where it was. To me looking at it, my brain just plopped it on the same height, right close to the back patio area, but it's on a different level and so far away! You did a really fantastic job with this.

Very entertaining video! I had so much fun looking at the comparison between your build and the original. You should definitely do a renovation of it because it has a lot of potential, especially with the underground pathway and the usage of the landscape tool.

I like how much stuff the promotional picture utilises!! The terrain manipulation, split levels without the actual splitting, and the position of greenery is phenomenal!!

now renovate it to your liking!

this feels like the kind of house that would be used in a reality tv show

Ouhhh, this sounds so fun! Can't wait to see how it comes out, I'm sure you'll make it amazing James ✨

The amount of time and effort this took is amazing! It looks great! Thanks for the video!

This is so nuts how closely you matched it up!! Loving this content 😊

I'm so impressed with your patience and determination with this!! It's remarkable how similar it looks, you should be proud 👏🏻

This was the most fun sims video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!!

Personally, I love it. Great unique vibe, but easily walkable and useful, too. A bit much on the shrubbery, but it does look good, so...not going to complain about that for once. I love how you did the 'unseen' areas behind and under the house. You should build more homes like this. I am partial to the 'split level' styles.

Wow! This was a ton of work! Especially for the parts you couldn’t see but you had to guess what was going on. Well done! 💯💯💯

YASSS! I wanted to see this house made real! lol I can't remember if I looked at it long enough to notice it was weird; I think I did but not to this extent. Btw, I always wanted to recreate that house you see at the top of the EA Gallery website; overlaying the screenshot of the enthusiastic red-headed Sim on the left. I think they built it on that empty lot, Arid Ridge, in the Skyward Palms neighborhood of Oasis Springs, where the Caliente's live (alongside two empty houses.) I'm assuming it's all base game because I think that image has been on the gallery for as long as I can remember! There's no floor plan, and it looks rather small and weird in hindsight, but I was irked that EA hadn't shared it (from what I could tell by.) I'd be thrilled if James wanted to build that one too!

perfection. what a genius idea. this was the most fun to watch. I shall patiently wait for the renovation/finishing of the build.

Surprised James didn’t say something along the lines of “and OF COURSE they put Batuu in here cause it’s the perfect house you just can’t see it because the angle of the picture” and proceed to add Batuu items

thought this was so random at first and turned out to be exceptional content. i NEED to see the actual build

Once again I am amazed at the things James can do with that terrain tool. Am now looking forward to a usable reno of this build. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your amazing content.

I love how bizarre this house is. Definitely gives me early sims vibes

This build gives such 80s and (some) 90s vibes! It would be neat to see you take more liberties with it and make it your own. Hopefully you'll do a reno of it!

As someone who builds a lot, watching this come together was both excruciatingly painful & completely hilarious!! Such a great job!!

This is a good shell challenge. Wish we could see who built it to at least give props to them, even if only for the shell 😂

You need to make this livable and do a let's play in it!

In general this is such a cool build challenge idea - copying any build with just one picture from just one angle! You could challenge other people to do one of your builds, or get Deli to make a build and take a picture for you to copy

That last slider comparison - seriously impressive dude! Seriously!

Honestly, I did a double take when you said that the final picture was yours and not theirs. Amazing stuff James!

This build reminds me of doll house with only seeing the build from a certain angle, some of the oversized objects trying to fit in and all the crazy colours 😎

So fun! I love finding things to build that are from unique places like this. Great work on it.

I loved watching you work backwards to figure out how they built this James. You're like the sims version of algebra 😂 You have so much sims knowledge, its amazing! I know you've been playing for a long time but I would never have thought of some of the stuff you do in your videos. Excellent!

No idea why but this might be one of my favorite videos ever!

YOU are so talented!!! I love watching when you do stuff like this - (burger boys-mcdonalds, high school- real high school here in USA, now this from the Sims4 game) so much fun! thanks for all the content James!

Good job re-creating the "perfect" S4 home for the website! I gotta say: only in The Sims would there be a huge bathroom beside the approach to the main entrance, with HUGE windows, the tub and toilet clearly visible to anyone coming up to the house. No worries about anyone being embarrassed, though, because no one will be caught using that bathroom - since there's NO DOOR! Too funny!!! As others have said, it would be great to see you take on this fixer-upper and turn it into a truly cool and functional home.

The rolling between photos is Soooooooo Satisfying to watch!!!!

You did an outstanding job recreating the house with only one image! I wouldn't know where to start!

Nice job! This is pretty cool. I would love to see some minor renovations to it, and maybe a possible Let’s Play in it. Haha

This has Sims 1 vibes, as in we were so limited with the choices that if you wanted good quality appliances or furniture, there was no way your house matched. Medieval door, curved counters, super modern green couch, beaded archway and massage bed vibes.

This house is so quintessentially ‘The Sims’ to me- especially some of the builds in the Sims 2. Big blocks full of STUFF in early 2000s colors. All it’s missing are the reward store items that I never actually earned just cheated for lol

Redecorating this thing as kind of a community challenge, with the rule not to move walls would also be a fun thing

this is what I imagined the Cullen’s house looked like when I was 12

Your attention to the little details are as always on point. Would love to see a fixer up to the weiredness but such a cool house with great potentail . Maybe a bigwallet could move in...🤷‍♀

That was a very cool build idea you nailed it 👌🏼

Oh Sims! This house is the game in a nutshell. Looks beautiful, interesting and fun. Reality is... glitchy, ridiculous and full of WTF moments. Thanks for trying to make it work James!

This build (mainly the interior layout and decoration) gives strong sims 2 vibes😂😂 But yeah, you did an amazing job recreating it👏👏👏

I'm so glad you mentioned the lack of door in the bathroom because I noticed it earlier on and it was driving me crazy 😂

You always have such creative and unique build ideas !

Wow James, it's crazy how you were able to recreate it so perfectly! I'd love to see you renovating it! Amazing video, keep it up :)

The music in between is nice!

Omg this is speed build perfection!❤ Love the switching between real time building and speed build. And the no moving camera!!! 🤩

please recreate every house/interior from every trailer! It would be so fun series!

Can you imagine you’re taking a bath and the neighbors come over with fruitcake or something 😂 but seriously James, your building skills always amaze me, I’m going to download it right now.

something about the weird leveling and accent walls makes me nostalgic for the sims 3, how there would be strange 'modern' houses with orange and blue. man i miss those

The effort James put into getting the details right in this is next level
