I have $7600 to renovate this house 

Before the new lets play starts with Lady Bigwallet III, it would be great to get all the older kids sorted into Jobs, houses and partners etc! would be great to see Ash with Krysta and having kids in their own house, would be good to see the boys having partners, Willow starting her own vets, even if its just a couple of videos showing us how they are all getting on :)

You could have made the downstairs bedroom smaller and enlarge the gym room. It would have made more sense. 😂

I think it would have been fun if the guys got a random roommate. Like maybe one of their schoolfriends. Though you might want to move on more siblings at some point.

i’d love to see you make a 3 part spin off or something for Aspen and Alder. maybe get them jobs, promoted a couple times, and some romantic interests, etc. and let the game take it away from there! thank you for fixing the house up for them!

Please do a mini series for Aspen and Alder! ♥ I would actually love a mini series for Ash (with Krysta) and Willow as well, to just let them have their lives before Lady bigwallet's big series ♥

James... There's a foam flooring in tiles. It's called the soft landing playground cover. It comes in red/black/blue

for my home gyms I use "Soft Landing Playground Cover" It is actually listed in Tile in the flooring Pattern section of build buy comes in Red, Blue and Black

also remember one of the twins is into fabrication! so maybe next time you can visit them and put the machine in the greenhouse like in their other house

I recon Brodie's home needs to be renovated too. I feel so sorry for the poor guy.

I'm proud of you James for not making it 2 elaborate hobby rooms and empty bedrooms in the end LOL Although 4 different wood colors in the upstairs bedroom are a war crime.

You could've made the gym room bigger to lessen the space of the other bedroom even just one tile. Could be good for future furnishing of the gym as well :) the keyboard piano was cheaper too, kinda makes more sense with the DJ machine? Like you can imagine to input the sound from the keyboard to the DJ station. Anyway! I love the red so much hahaha

An Aspen and Alder live stream mini series sounds like a perfect solution to this sad lot for two bachelors. I think a single episode would not be enough lol. Especially if you want to get that Athletic career rug for the home gym.

I'd love to see you play them for a mini series and find them some great partners, so they hopefully grow the family organically as you play the other family!

I have to admit... It hurt my heart when he got rid of the easel. But I'm excited to see what all happens with the new generation

The DJ twin should have the bedroom on the bottom floor near the music stuff, since he might be making noise late at night and doesn’t want to wake his brother. The gym twin should have the upstairs bedroom because it means he has to take the stairs and will be able to get in some extra steps for his workout through that!

I'm definitely in favor of a Aspen & Alder mini series! Get them established in their own lives with careers (since I think one is still part time and the other is unemployed) and maybe one or both find another sim to marry. And if they have enough Satisfaction points, I think it'd be fair to get that trait that starts you at a higher level in a job. Make it less tedious to play. And if Lady 3 is going to be the heir, maybe have a mini series where each group (Ash-Krysta and Willow, the triplets, Sandalwood) get an episode or two to set them up for their future before Story Progression takes over.

I love that Breanne's tripod is STILL across the street!

It would be hilarious if you added a bubble blower and some fold up chairs into the “green” house so it can still get some use 😂

There should be a 'used' category for home furnishings/equipment as it could simulate the second-hand market and allow for homes to be completely furnished on a budget.

Oh my god I’m so annoyed by the giant bedroom but the tiny living room lol

I have a couple tips/tricks that might work! :) One, there is a flooring I use for home gyms all the time - I believe it's called Playground Cover (or something like that). Two, in the let's play part the other day, you kept losing the cake in the household inventory. I believe it's technically a debug item, so when you have Organized Debug on (with your mod), you need to click to have debug &/or live edit objects appear in your household inventory. I hope these help!

i like the idea of a mini series/special episode featuring some of the siblings. cant wait to see more of these guys

I feel like the issue of having way too much space and no money to fill it might have been slightly alleviated by putting both bedrooms upstairs instead, and then just making the entire downstairs a sort of hobby zone. Then again, this house I feel is just way too big for 2 sims with 0 kids. It would be nice to see them get a roommate or a distant cousin to stay with them and occupy some of this space.

5:59 “If you’ve got a DOOR you’ve got a GYM” still echoes in my mind

Chiming in to agree with those saying Ash & Willow, Aspen & Alder, and the Triplets need their own little 3-part mini series to set them up with careers, love interests, etc before Lady Bigwallet III goes on her epic horse girl adventure. I was actually thinking it would be cool if Willow & Lady Bigwallet III ended up living together on a ranch someday. I might be fond of Willow.

I love how James is like we have a budget. Lol blows through almost all budget. This would be a fun lets play. Also how they gonna afford the house now?

I’d say the twin who uses the music room should get the downstairs bedroom, so the other twin can go upstairs if he wants to evade the noise 😂

I love how James’ colour schemes have gone from black, white, grey and red, to mint green, mint green, blue, dark and light woods and the occasional pop of pink😁

Missed opportunity to adjust the stairs so the living room isn't so cramped feeling. Would have been cool to repurpose the archway from upstairs as well, maybe between kitchen and living.

You could have made the bedrooms smaller, that makes more sense to me. And yes for playing with them a little bit to get them jobs.

U could make a 1$ house at this point 😂

Awesome renovation, James! The red bedroom looks great! I'd love to see a little spin off about Aspen and Alder's lives. They'll definitely get up to no good! 😅

This transformation was incredible! When i play idk what i would do without you builders/uploaders. My sims would be living in a shack😂😂

Yay, new vid. Gonna be a stressful day, so excited to kick off the day with this. Always makes the day better. Thanks James!

i was thinking you couldve moved the walls over by 1 so the gym was expanded and the lower level bedroom was shrunk a little, but it turned out pretty nice all things considered! Didnt have to do TOO much cutting back on interior items at least~

There’s an unpainted wall tile in the hallway that hurts my soul 😩 but the house is great for Aspen and Alder! Full circle moment

Fun fact~ those barista mats are not just for comfort. There's almost always water or some type of liquid (spilled drinks, milk, syrup, etc) on the floor behind the counter in cafes and the mats can help you not slip as easily as well haha!

I like the red! My daughter's bedroom is red on 3 walls and a grayish blue on the 4th wall.

This was such a good video! I'd love it if you did this for all the rest of Quinn's kids too. Seems only fair that they get set up with a nice life since they were a bit neglected growing up and then all missed out on being the Bigwallet heir to their cousin Lady.

oh yes an episode for alder and aspen and also willow, ash and the triplets when they move out would be great. :)

Hi James, I subscribed to you tonight because I've been watching you for about 4 months & I really, truly appreciate that you don't ever do videos talking about how bad Sims is, focusing on any negative, how packs are too expensive, thank you! I love this game, it's my escape from my real life so I don't need it dissed.

i hope James realizes soon that there IS a puzzle rubber mat flooring that isn’t the colorful kids one

10:28 For long rooms like this I usually break them down with a built-in wardrobe, maybe a bookshelf *(in the centre of the room to cut it in half). The room "flows" a bit better, and then you can give the bed space more privacy. Maybe that would help?

It's so nice to see them in their old home

For the gym floor, there is a base game tile, soft landing playground cover you can use. It's got like puzzle effect.

heck yeah!! here right away :3 hey james!!! love ur videos sm! it’s actually helped me become a better builder too

One thing I would love to see updated is the way played households work. If I'm playing in one house, the other house I play with soho still be going to work and making money. If I invite that sim over, they will leave for work so their funds should reflect that

They give you spongy floor when you work in a coffee shop?!?! I'm sueing my previous employer. 11 hours standing on tiles. My feet were dying every single day.

I loved this house so much and was so excited for the revamp. It turned out amazing! I can't wait to see you play a few days in it.

When I was a kid we had a 32 inch tube TV and I was the coolest kid on the block lol it was hooked up to a VCR and a military looking satellite dish that was taller than our house and like 5 feet across 😂

Try a "Building a house only using Expansion Packs", "Building a house only using Game Packs", "Building a house only using Stuff Packs", "Building a house only using Kits" and "Building a house only using the Free Holiday Pack" challenge. All in one video. Each house has to be only one pack. And you have to use the worlds from their packs too. Only exception is the Desert Luxe Lit, which you can _only_ use in _Oasis_ Springs. Each kit, such as the Booknook Kit, has to be a build fitting it, so for the Booknook Kit, you'd build a library. With the Basement Treasures Kit, you build a basement. With the Greenhouse Kit, you build a Greenhouse. You _can_ use basegame things, but only wallpaper, flooring, roofing, etc. Just the small things. And yes, a hose is considered a small thing. I think I''ll make a post in the sub with the rules properly written.

6:34 omg that’s why I can never find this flooring!! I never look for it as an unlock able!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤣😂🤣😂

I think there is a wall that wasn’t painted on the main floor near the bathroom on the side where the mirror and hall table is 😊

I feel like since Quinn would miss having Aspen and Alder at home, and would be excited the two of them are living at the old house, I could see her wanting to help them fill up the empty walls by giving them some of her own paintings! But I think this is a nice little renovation for them! I like the idea of coming back and having an episode with the twins!

7:12 if you go into tiles there’s a puzzle piece floor that’s all black, or navy, or dark red. It’d work better in the gym

I loved this and looking forward to more episodes of the series

the pre renowated house rly suited two single young men

My headcanon for the entire BCU is that any inheritance goes into a trust which buys a plot of land for each descendant with nothing on it and doesn't give them a cent more, so in that sense the Bigwallet's own everything anyway.

I SAY: remove the upstairs altogether! You've hated it since the beginning lol and it looks funky! make the downstairs into one large common room & two separate living spaces for each one! ✨✨✨

I love how James deleted the couch to save money, but spent more than he got back on the chair and table setup. XD

Now you just have to finish the 3 brother's house lol

Love watching your build videos =)

It would be great if we could set visibility per item, or get another view options to toggle between how much we see of the wall furniture.

You: You won't come upstairs to use the bathroom of your downstairs.... Sims W/ Free Will: "You wanna bet I'll wash my dishes up there."

The book nook loveseat is basically perfect for a built-in window seat. It looks out of place as anything else.

the oversized downstairs bedroom with the walk in closet seems like a huge waste of space. Turn it into a spare room, or make the home gym larger.

love the red room!!!

Maybe the one who used the music room get the creative room downstairs, it will not be "noisy" for the other when they used the room.

the barista mat is so that u don't slip with liquids and that ceramics don't break it has nothing to do with comfort. Hospitality is rough.

Loved this vid! You missed one piece of wallpaper in the main hallway though! Was waiting for you to notice 😂

I was literally looking for this house on the gallery last night!

I love how he notices the tiniest roof defect but misses the blank wall with no wallpaper in the hallway 😂

Quinn can come by with gifts to furnish the house too!

I would have thought it impossible but nothing is impossible for James Turner 🤣

Yay! The house Reno

I stopped watching the series for now (absolutely despise HSY and Growing Together) but I'm always up for watching you build!! Especially in very specific situations, like this one c:

@JamesTurner I have an idea for a really ridiculous build challenge, building a house but every five minutes you are given a new pack to be use, a new theme, a new color, and a new type of room. So your shell is forever changing your house is forever changing...

the red bedroom is a vibe, i love it

you should get the ravasheen no curtain snapping mod, makes using curtains so much easier

Is it LittleMsSam that has a mod for more stay on the walls. I remember I found it on CurseForge at least

I would have turned this house into 2 “flats” the upstairs for one sibling and the downstairs for the other. And with the stairway maybe laundry room and gym area as a shared space

Weird roof trim because there's a platform on top of the room, underneath the roof.

You could have ditched the spare downstairs bathroom...the entire room, extending the laundry room out into it.

That TV, new, when they first came out, would have been about $300 to $400 in North America. For $1200+ you could have gotten a much bigger one than that...likely a 45" at least.

Confirmed James is obsessed with wardrobes.

Those type columns are on just about every porch in the US South. If the house has a porch, it's got those columns. Also a couple of rocking chairs.

I feel like vibe wise from the rooms that Alder's would be the one downstairs and Aspen's the one upstairs!

the random mac & cheese on the stove at 00:41 took me out 😂 edit: I laughed even harder when he pointed it out 💀

For the wardrobe press F5 so you can place half tiles instead of one full tile then you can put in the center.

honestly before i realized it was for two specific sims (idk how i watched this whole thing without realizing, poor listening skills) i didn’t like it, but realizing that i was very much humbled. i definitely think it’s a perfect base for the twins renovations and so so realistic as far as merging the reality of life in the sims (homes look so different from the staged photos taken for real estate when they’re actually lived in)

There has been a roof glitch lately... I suddenly have tons of gaps in my roof line, it really annoys me

James paints a wall something other than white - "am I overdoing it?!"

18:29 whose gonna break it to James that there is an unpainted wall in the hallway? 😅

Lol Alder was making the Mac and Cheese when his mom was giving them the money 😂.

Decent renovation for how little money they had and all the rooms you added, maybe the wardrobe can be separate from the bedroom and it can be a room the brothers share to store their clothes.

I challenge you to renovate a house and not move the walls, doors, or windows. It's expensive and you also have to figure out how to close up the holes left by doors & windows that were removed (IRL) You can't move exteriour walls and have to mind structure if removing interiour walls. What walls are load bearing and would need columns to support the celling? I remodel places and don't move anything and if I replace windows & doors, I use an item that fits the hole. I also build the shell and then, when I'm placing furniture, If a window is in the way, I have to leave it there. I like the challenge.

My 50” 4k tv was only 700! (granted on sale)

For the gym room: maybe big wall mirrors? Like one wall? 😊

For gyms, there's a flooring that looks just like the first rug you tried using that was locked. It's in tiles I believe for some reason. Tell Deli too because she's always looking for the same thing

I would have made the big bedroom downstairs into 2 bedrooms then the upstairs as a loft, games and guest room.
