Now that we have round walls, it's time to try a brand new circle build, no straight walls anywhere in this build! Download: jamesturner.yt... ➤ Visit my website for my Twitter, Twitch, other channels and more! My Website: jamesturner.yt
I started out thinking that the whole round concept was ugly and by the time he finished, I found I never wanted to live somewhere more. Something about the fluidity of the space and not having harsh corners on the inside is very relaxing to me.
@@indedgames4359 Even James has had some complaints over the years: there's more nuance than HULK SMASH. We wouldn't have mods if you were correct (James even created one to "remove" My First Pet Stuff from his game.)
I feel like to furnish a round room you should do the opposite of what you would do for a rectangular room. Instead of having pathways through the centre and furniture against the wall, make the pathway around the edge with furniture centred. E.g. in the bedroom the bed can be in the middle with a dresser or vanity table against the bedhead. You could even use the chest from Werewolves and the end of the bed as the dresser. Kitchen could be all in a centre island that’s rounded or oval
im glad they gave us curved walls but it honestly just feels like they gave us the basic to shut us up 😂 like yeh we have them, but very limited with how we can use them lmao
the foundations of the game itself is just very limiting that’s why it fcks them up now and really demands them to undo or work around the limitations when they try to add new features
When I started living with my now fiance he was forced to watch your content with me. He likes your challenges very much but always is very silent. TODAY he commented for the first time. He said you should make one huge room and than bunch of circles inside (not connected to the walls). I found his break through so funny I had to comment. Not sure if that would work, though. Hope he will not see I'm doubting him 😂
May I suggest going back and finishing the witch house? Now that you are playing with that side of the family more, you might see it more often as well, especially since Collum is immortal. With all the new features added lately and their near unlimited budget, I can see that build/ renovation being a lot of fun :-)
Honestly it seems there are so many things you CAN'T do with those walls that i wonder if they shouldn't put it on hold or release a massive update later
I've played around with circular walls, and yeah, they're very glitchy. If you have two floors, it's even tougher to place things on the first floor walls. Oftentimes they pop up to the top, where they cannot be placed. Most of the time you have to place items with walls either cut away, or completely down. Placing shelves on interior 1st floor flat walls (if there is a 2nd floor) is sometimes just not possible. Also, the square section in the middle of a round room on the second floor with have thin lines through it, that no rug can cover over. The curved walls are fun to play around with, but they need work. Now to hope more work will be done to get them to work right. But we all know how they didn't do much more with "off the grid." So there might not be much hope for a fix.
So no making functional tall wizard towers then? Typical EA making stuff just broken (at least compared to what people might actually want to use the walls for).
I really hope some cc creators come up with some cool curved cabinets and built in furniture for curved walls. That'd be awesome. I find the limitations of the curved wall sections frustrating though. So much stuff doesn't work with them. Columns don't, stairs are a challenge (spiral stairs please!??), I just.. eugh. Such potential but so many little things that just don't work right. Kinda sims 4 in a nutshell that.
They really should add "indoors" option for other side of the curve and option to put doors and windows on the junction of two curves, because its the most obvious place people would try to put stuff, its symmetrical.
44:10 minutes of James trying to make curved walls look good and even tho he did a better job than i ever could the visual glitches are way to much of an issue for me. Ill stick so straight walls unless they fix them one day lol. P.S> James did so great with what he was given from EA lmbo
The all circle stuff gives me very futuristic vibes tbh, I feel like that's something you would have seen in Oasis Landings if we had curved walls in TS3
James: Build a square/rectangular room first. Then put a curved wall segment in it. It won't delete the walls. It's still a pain in the rear because you can't build more walls in the room afterwards. But it sort of works.
I'd probably just build with round platforms and then add the walls and all they need after everything else is in place. Especially if you want a second floor.
curved mirrors are also a problem because they can act as a lens and a point of light on them in the right spot can start fires. Happened with a few different buildings (mostly designed by the same guy if I remember right) . They created death lasers and melted some car parts and stuff.
in response to your comment halfway through -- im actually super impressed that you made it look pretty decent. when i first saw the circles i was like, there is no way he's going to make THAT look good. but you've done it
These types of builds are always fun to watch. The whole time, all I could think of is an episode of Family Guy where Peter is at a NASCAR race repeatedly cheering “GO IN A CIRCLE!!!!”🤣
I really hope they will release an update for the curve walls, like the option to color it per “grid square”, control the flooring next to it or have them as interior walls.
I’m only at 14:30 and truly adore this build James. I can tell you are really trying to figure this build out lol, and to make all the glitches work for you. 🌿 I’m impressed by the landscaping, and the appreciation for succulents in this build. 🌿 who would have thought, glitchy curved walls could be designed in a way to actually look intentional?
This is the first video of yours I have ever seen and I am already very intrigued! Your knowledge of the game and interior design is awesome, I can't wait to see more!
I am honestly surprised that you managed to make a house this good since curved walls look and work like shit. 😂 Sims team did us really dirty, it feels like is a half assed attempt to add a new feature that I personally think wasn't that necessary. I'd rather have no curved walls at all that this glitchy disaster. Anyway, super well done on the build, James! 😍
This remindes me of the Gasometer in Vienna. They are big round Towers that where once used to store gas but now their are homes, shoppingcenters and other stuff inside.
Literally one of my absolute favorite things James can do is just have a blast and go absolutely wild building something bizarre from his dreams. Loved every second of this.
This is a cool build James and I'm glad it works. The buildings look a little like medicine bottles, but still great. I hope E.A. continues to work on curved walls and add more build buy items that fit them very well.
the way your logic works is so relateable you are the only person i dont get mad at while watching these like the design choices are like such stuff i would do myself
I have a friend whose childhood home was built with circular rooms. It was honestly quite difficult to navigate and they struggled to find furniture to actually fit, but it was a real home and cool concept of a house.
Best part of watching this guy is when he's looking through all of the other items and is like "Ah, battoo!" And then tries to find a reason to use that item. Battoo might not be the best of the dlc but it's very underrated and I'm glad my man's here appreciates the good qualities of the pack but still respects everyone's (wrong) opinions :)
JAMES!!!!!! I tried to build with curves and it was literal hell. I'm in awe that you could make this building possible in the first place. You are GREAT.
Wow, I was NOT expecting this house to be so stunning??? Ignoring the visual glitches, everything looks so good and crisp! Can’t wait to see more uses of circle walls!
Great job James. Curved walls have a lot of potential for incredible builds in the future. When they get furniture pieces & objects that are adapted to the walls then it won't be so glitchy & awkward.
Awesome build James!! I appreciate the time you took to make it look good with all the flaws of the Sims 4, it's also really enjoyable to see the thought process behind your building - you're very creative & skilled 💜
This actually looks like something from Architectural Digest, it looks so good! Very different to any run-of-the-mill sims builds but interesting all the same 😊
James, this is one of my favourite builds you’ve ever done. It’s so creative and unique and I loved your ideas - I’d love you to try more of this as you really experimented in a way to create homes that inspire gameplay - like I imagine this owner is into art and design, minimalism etc - you know? ☺️
Someone has already made a round bed. You need to add a basement under where the bed would be, size up a round Ottoman and raise it up through the floor, then glitch the bed in. The Sims will sleep in the bed and sit on the edge of the Ottoman.
In Germany, in the town "Heuchelheim" is a circle house which spins! Maybe you could build that. The local news "hessischer Rundfunk" recently reported about it.
There’s a house where I live that’s called the wedding cake house and it’s three stories tall with the front being circular. It would be cool to see it recreated, though I don’t think there are any pictures of the indoors, nor that it would be any easy to do it on the times.
They really need to add furniture to the game that snaps to circular walls. Like just fix it so that you can connect circles and so that objects snap to circular walls. This looks really cool though!
funny enough i lived across the street from a couple that had a circular house, i have no idea what the inside looked like but it was the first time i had ever seen a circular home before.
