I ran a hotel in The Sims 4 For Rent and got sued 3 times... 

So far I absolutely cannot imagine trying to have a family while playing as a landlord lol, imagine trying to micromanage a toddler and an infant while having to run between tenants and managing revolts all day

Jim Pickens in James video was not the crossover I was expecting in the first 4 rent video I watched!

I love how most simmers know who Jim Pickens is and are terrified

CallMeKevin and James Turner is the crossover we all needed. ❤

the fact that Jim Pickens IS canonically part of a royal family is absolutely cracking me up this all just fits so well

"You should just listen to me, a childless guy with a mouldy hotel" made me laugh out loud for some reason

I can’t stop laughing at that guy refusing to pay the fine😂

It would have been cool if they made some wall decor numbers so we could put them next to doors.

Jim Pickens got bored of torturing Kevin so he decided to visit Australia 😂 Good luck James!

The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl.

Only James could have a crossover with Jim Pickins, get sued 3 times, and DIE in the first For Rent episode

If Krista happens to make any appearances in the next lets play, she deserves the Nosy trait

You and Kevin should totally do a collab!

In other words, we can now play as the repairman from City Living.

"I'ma just put my phone on silent" has the same energy as "I'm just not going to check my mail / open that envelope" 😂

Thank you for actually PLAYING James, I learned so much more this way. I wasn't gonna preorder and wait for release day, but I wanna use your code. This is the information I needed about the pack. That livestream was hecka boring.

This video taught me that the name "Pawn" and an Australian accent are not a good combo 😭

I’m waiting for James to start locking doors. 😂

Man after the Jim Pickens reference I'm now terrified of the thought of Jim as a landlord.

James: gets offended because the Sims team called videogamers cringe. James 15 minutes later: makes super cringy puns 🤣🤣🤣

I could see the sweat on James' brow when Jim Pickens showed up 😂

I was dying when James was trying to deal with the tenants revolt 😂😂

It feels like the sims team have gotten this completely backwards. Felt more like the tenants were the ones in charge here.

Steven Pawn gave you a gift and then your character glitched. Yeah, that’s definitely Jim Pickens using an alias. 😂

I read that if you put the water heater and electrical outlet in the shared space together they will power all the rooms rather than putting one in each room to be powered individually. This might save you time not having to repair them so often if that tip was actually true. Also lilsimsie also said her game was bugged and she wouldn’t get paid the rent either so hopefully that gets fixed before launch because that’s a huge bug..

But now we NEED Kevin and James collaboration!

No wonder he wanted Laird to keep everything she could from the ranch.. he knew it was going to be a rough statt

I am super surprised that no one has mentioned the relationships with tenants yet besides James. Now my biggest concern or a idea that would be helpful is having a filter that says "tenant/property" something along the lines to seperate the tenants/families in the propertis from just friends/families if that makes sense? It would crowd my sims relationship panel lol.

I gotta say this looks great. Even our dear leader Jim Pickens had to check it out 🙏Can't wait for the Bigwallets new let's play!

You'd think they'd pay the rent when they check out. I'll most likely just make 7 days the shortest stay if I do a hotel and do increments of 7 for either long hotel stays or for apartment rentals.

*Please be a good pack*🤞🏼 Edit: Did not expect Our Dear Leader Jim Pickens to make an appearance but I’m more than here for it!!

The absolute terror in James's voice when Semaj T-posed 🤣. Please save your game! Also, Owen is a menace lol

I think the burger boys should return to run a hotel together!

James Turner, formerly known as the Sim Supply, watching CallMeKevin is not the confirmation I thought I would get this day, and yet, I am pleased

This video is so much more entertaining than The Sims live presentation! Thank you, James!

If you hire a maid, will they clean ALL the rooms? Can't you lock the customers out of your room so they don't annoy you. I never considered making a hotel. Thought it was just going to be apartments. I love the idea of a hotel!

breaking into our dear leader's room would honestly be the worst decision you could ever make. first off, we all know the mole people are watching the entire time. secondly, we would somehow be forced to paint for the rest of our lives 😂 for real though, amazing first look Semaj. I'm so excited to watch everything you do with this new found power 😆

The rags to riches of this pack is going to be amazing! Keep up the great work

As someone who once worked in the leasing office for a guy who rents out properties, that frustration you were feeling from having no money, tenants breaking everything, and then not paying you is 100% realistic. Let me tell you, I have HORROR stories. They had a tenant once who was breeding black widow spiders in the unit, among other infractions of the unhygienic variety. They basically had to take that unit down to the studs and get rid of the spiders themselves because local exterminators wouldn’t do it because of liability if an employee got bit. And of course the guy didn’t pay them a cent. Property management is a precarious balancing act between the good tenants who pay you and the spiderguys who cost you tens of thousands in damages. 😬

does this mean hotel build part 4 is coming soon?.... we held our part of the deal....

Maybe that guy slept in your bed, because at 5:20 you rented apartment to 4 tenants, but there wasn't 4 beds they requested? 🙃

This whole episode was chaotic and I'm living for it cant wait for the lets play!

It's morelike communal living. Lots of dense cities have big buildings the you rent the room and share the kitchen, living room and sometimes there is a big communal bathroom. Looking forward to playing with all the expansions.

I wonder if we as the landlord can hire a maid, and they can access each 'lot'? If not then I need to get a maid lot trait or something. I want to be able to offer my luxury high maintence sims free cleaning, like service apartments in city living.

"Pawn... I gotta make sure the subtitles are correct on this one"

This is what I’m going to use this pack for, and since sims can own several lots now I can have my sims stay at the hotels, not just own them. Can’t wait!!

This was so much fun! I was a bit disappointed by how lackluster the pack felt after the official livestream, but you've certainly been able to highlight some of its best features and it does seem like a lot of fun to play. Btw loving the aesthetic of the hotel (and the pack in general).

I really hope they fix the invisible megaphones when the tenants revolt. Weird to hear them have megaphone voices and no megaphone LOL

As an irish person, hearing your refer to Jim Pickens has made me immensely happy. CALLMEKEVIN COLLAB PLEASE! Multiplayer mod, Kevin/Jim Pickens as your tennant woud make my little heart the happiest it can be 😭

Searched for new 'sims 4 rent' content just at the right time 🙌 cant wait for the rags to riches series with this pack

Baby Hayden the Boulder had me crying! I would totally edit the family and rename the kid to Hayden the Pebble.

jim pickens james turner callmekevin crossover when?

I'm like 2 minutes in but have to say, I love the color choices for this build!!

18:22 James totally caught himself there by adding Steven into the sentence. That could have had a whole other meaning 😂 😂

It delights me to NO END that James knows all about Jim Pickens 😂😂 Kevin created an icon

This is exactly the kind of chaos I was waiting for from James playing this pack 😂❤

Jim Pickens was protesting because the building doesnt have a basement.

I laughed out loud so many times in this video! Great first video for this expansion!

Now I want to see this from the other side where CallMeKevin plays as Jim Pickens (or his alias Steven Pawn) to turn all of James’s tenants against him and cause chaos.

I’m so glad ‘hotel’ gameplay is possible even if it is very Fawlty Towers!

This as complete mess, as expected. Rent doesn't work, you lose money, tenants revolt no matter what. I hope they adjust these settings before release or soon after, cause at the moment this pack is more of a hassle than anything else...

I am STUPID excited for this Lets Play with Laird to begin! Ive been sort of quietly following and watching since the OG Lady was still the main character being played 😂 Its been so much fun watching the Bigwallet family grow. And watching the growth of this channel!

I have a feeling the reason people were able to go into your room was because it works like any other lot - aka you spoke to the sim so it decided that was good enough to be invited inside lmao

Mr.Pawn definitely seems like the type of geeza that would permanently live in a hotel 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

That Reginald secret is a reference to Sims 2 Castaway, as he’s a character you find the journals of, he goes mad slowly after everyone else in his crew dies.

James’ exercise/exorcise jokes are really just him personifying the new cringe trait of semaj 😂

OMG I did not expect to see Jim Pickens staying in your hotel! AWESOME!

i actually seem to like the pack. thank you for playing it through, it was very informative about the pack and very entertaining at the same time! i just wish it didn't have loading screens every time you visit your tenants' apartments...

This looks a lot more fun to play than what was shown on the playthrough from the Sims team, which is great. Seems like you’re kept busy a lot. I’m wondering if there’s an easier way to remember what unit is what…like an identification for the door? Also seems like a great challenge for Semaj to have to manage 99 rentals, lol…just regular apartments not a hotel. Thanks, James! (Also looking forward to someone making a ‘hotel’ mod that makes it work easier to have people stay for different amounts of time and be checking in/leaving at the end of their stay…like 1 to 14 days or something…oh, Carl? Helloooo? Or any great modder?) Also, really hope it works and doesn’t slow down too much when it’s installed with every pack!

Jim Pickens is royalty. But hey Jim, proud that you came up with a creative name this time instead of Not Jim.

OMG when jim pickens made a surprise appearance i SCREAMED. we need this collab with you and kevin!!!!!!!!!

I think having the food display case, from Get to Work, I think, would he helpful for making food for your guests. OMG... the end, You had me terrified, LMAO🤣🤣

That is definitely Jim Pikens! 😂😂

Gluon is going to have a field day with this pack. I laughed so hard when poor Semaj died.

Yay! This pack seems like it realllly changes a lot of how someone would play. Crazy. Did they add a dehumidifier item to help with mold? Are there inspectors? I can't wait to see all the gameplay, this was so fun

Wayne The Boulder defo needs a son called Shwayne The Pebble 😂

The dear leader cameo. James is really breaking the budget in this lets play 😂

I am so excited! I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but this pack has the potential to be my favorite since dream home decorator! Beautiful build, James.

Omg the 37th Earl of Biscuit! That's the guy off Sims Castaway whose dairy you find like 100 years after he was shipwrecked on the island. That's so funny they included him here.

So glad I stumbled on this, I loved this video! Best kind of review vid, haven't had the capacity to actually finish any others, but this was hilarious. Totally invested for 56 minutes, thanks man

James casually dropping he's a Call Me Kevin fan👀

8:24 was NOT expecting the Kevin reference! all hail dear leader Jim Pickens! (Jim would absolutely have the Nosy and Cringe traits lmao)

“I have one form of key. It’s called a crowbar” plz I’m dead😂😭😭

The first five minutes of this video is 10000% percent better than any explanation given during the Sims livestream. Thanks, James!

The Pink Flamingo looks so beautiful! I love the lookout spot That Ending tho!! The true ending is at 42:36, everything after is an illusion conjured up to trick the mind

Is Wayne the Boulder supposed to have a megaphone during the revolt? lol His voice was changed but he wasnt holding anything.

The megaphone voice sans megaphone in their promotional early release is insane

Hearing James say "Jim Pickens" completely derailed me. 10/10 plot twist. Gets me every time.

This was hilarious! I laughed out loud twice and smirked throughout! James, you're a true gem!

I love that you know about Jim Pickens lol. Great video. It was all downhill when Jim moved in. I have hopes for this pack, it feels like older sims gameplay that had that fun random chaotic stuff happen. Or it may just be you that makes it interesting 😆

"I have one form of key. It's called a crowbar". 10:34 💀

“Go home” He has no home, James! YOU EVICTED HIM 😂

Love how you went from "I don't trust him" to "He's my favorite"! 😂 Edit: I wonder what happens when you upgrade all the furniture in a unit. Will everything still break? I was gonna do that but now I'm not sure if there's a point.

This has implemented the chaos that was missing from the sims. I was laughing so hard the whole video. 😂

27:15 "Two bros, chilling in a hot tub, 5 feet apart cause they're not gay"

Love the hotel! And I love how you can utilise the pack like this! How fun ✨

8:24 That's exactly what I thought as well you should definitely spy on him he probably does too. If Kevin doesn't change Jim Pickens`s name to the cover name Steven Pawn I'm going to be slightly upset. 18:23 James just slowly becoming friends with Jim honestly you should add him for the for rent lets play

This was kinda chaotic and i loved it! Can’t wait to see Laird the Landlady!

i loove the way that you’re playing with this pack! especially because of the loading screens. i think this is the best way to play with it and i can’t wait to watch more from you James! been watching for yearrrs! also can’t wait to play it aha

James this is a great start to a new Challenge! I loved every second of this episode!
