My son was born exactly 5 years ago which is when I started watching James! He’s grown up to hearing James in the background! My husband said he was surprised he wasn’t born with an Australian accent 😂
I started watching when I was pregnant in 2019! James’ Sims videos have consistently put my son to sleep ever since 😂 We’re raising the newest generation of simmers lol
My 9 months baby smiles everytime I click play on a James video and hears his voice. I'm sure some time in the future he will ask about that old uncle he remembers was always telling fun stories in our livingroom somehow
My kiddo is 11 and has heard James for the majority of his life. I now catch him watching James on his own 😂 he got very excited today seeing Lil Franie.
I feel like Laird has done her duty to her investor/business partner/friend. She has given him companionship, encouraged him to fullfill his life long aspiration, and a beautiful place to live. I think he'd want her to move on to the next phase of her life and would be excited to to be "grandpa". Spoil the kids and send them back! Laird has truly enriched Mr. Abernathy's life!
Since the babies won't be the next LP's main characters and we don't know what themes to use when naming them, I suggest using name combos like Glayna (girl), Dames (boy) or Glaird (boy/girl). Any other names starting with "Gl" in honour of the McGlorbins also works.
They grow faster than toddlers do, right? I've been comparing caring for puppies and toddlers to one another. Both require attention. You have to scoop their poop, play with them, teach them tricks/manners, and whatever else I may have forgotten
The ranch picture over Lairds bed reminded me of when she was a child and “I hate being on the ranch, I’m going to move to the big city and run a rental” throw back. Good stuff.
29:52 Surprisingly a hot tub is great in the desert for about half the year, often times more😃 The summer of course is a no go, but the rest of the year is generally lovely to be outside and it cools off nicely at night where a soak is an excellent way to relax!☺
Hear me out: triplets! All three pairings have a baby at the same time. Maybe one pregnancy, one science baby, one adopted, etc. A love triangle deserves a triangle of babies!
In that case I'd do two pregnancies & one science baby or have them all be science babies. I'm sure James would be excited about having triplets again 🤣
The reARRANGEment of the office looks great! Love to see the Legosedit 1:33 OMG she's so freaking adorable! Her little emoji needs to be updated to show her big girl softy self 💗💗
I love the aesthetics of the office background, plus the hoodie is so gooood, also I'm so glad this series isn't forever abandoned 😂, We all really appreciate the hard work of tackling the sims 4 bugs by you ❤ Had to edit: I love both you guy's chow chows so much ❤❤
Love the placement of your facecam while building. I'm always going "What pack did that come from? Bloody hell, I can't see, it's behind James' head!" Now I can see! My only problem now is getting distracted by Franny in the background 😂 Too cute by half!
James - don't forget you can hide people in the relationship panel now!!! So if you dont know them or remember who they are, just click on them and hide them, that way only people who matter clutter up the relationship panel!
I like the new background! And any time frani wants to join is very welcomed! Also i love the dark moody vibes, weirdly i get bored of everyone saying they need more bright colours 😂 dark aesthetic with jewel tone accents is always fun to do too!
I know you're a black and white kind of builder but I love the colours in Laird's new apartment. The earthy browns and greys really nailed it and balance well with the other neutrals you use heavily without feeling too sterile. Love it! Thanks for the video, you spoil us. Always stoked to see Miss Frannie I love that teddybear doggo ❤
I love your office!! I love the chair and the comfy blanket on it, and I'm happy I can finally see the legendary lego shelf Deli mentioned when she built a dream house for you two before!!
I think Mr. Abernathy would understand that Laird is moving on to a new part of life with her upcoming marriage. Move out Mr. Abernathy but stay best friends, maybe give him a key to your apartment.
Watching you paint the walls in Laird's apartment black made my little dark heart soar. :3. Also, seeing you do that, I now want to see you do an entire goth/dark build; I don't think you've ever done that before! However, I know that's pretty far outside your own aesthetic preferences, so many reference images would be needed. Edit: I like having Mr. Abernathy as part of the household, even if he's in a "separate" apartment - that way he's easier to access/interact with. :P
I think Mr. Abernathy deserves some kind of lasting legacy. Either a science baby heir (could even age it up in cas like a long lost child if you want) or at least name a beautiful apartment building after him. Abernathy Commons or something. It’s sad to think that once he’s gone he won’t be on the family tree or anything.
I agree with this. In my head, that was always part of the deal of letting Laird use his money - that she'd provide an heir 😂 I think you should move Mr Abernathy in to his own apartment then have him ask Laird for a science baby. That way it's on our family tree, but his responsibility 😂
I love the new background!😍 and Franni relaxing in the chair its so cute! Also, i like the zoomed out version, it gives nice vibes to the video, but i cant really explain why😂
Fran sitting on the chair and watching James play made her look like a giant teddy bear! Soon James may need to get a puppy cam just for her! Also- SANDALWOOD! Please tell me he's finally going to get a makeover.
Omg Love the setup, seeing Fran hanging out in the background and DAMN those Star Wars models in the backgroup. AHH BATUU!! I guess camera wise, I like how it is at the moment!
I don't really want Mr Abernathy to move out from the household. He joined the household as Laird's investor and business partner, but we've really grown fond of him through this journey. Just like Glames and Dayna, Mr Abernathy is part of her found family. They're a bit odd, they're non-traditional but they're hers.
So cute seeing Fran so enamoured with James while he’s filming. Also lol RU-vidr/ steamer pets must be so confused why their human are always talking to the computer 😂
OMG! I love the LEGO items in the background. Venator class ship from Star Wars and BD-1! A Saturn rocket and the Space Shuttle! The RMS Titanic! And then I’m thinking things can’t get more awesome and you go full screen so your chow chow pup can make a cameo looking all adorable! And then she joins you in her chair! I love the new camera set up! I like the idea for Sandalwood to be the one for the Lovestruck let’s play, mostly because it will help you keep the family tree balanced as you’ve done so much to try to balance it over the last several let’s play series. Sounds like you have some great ideas already, too. And then depending on whatever the next expansion/game packs come out switching between the kids of Laird and Sandalwood will be easy to keep the Bigwallet family tree balanced. Though major kudos to the Turnerites who maintains the family tree and the websites that assist with keeping track of how everyone is related in the family. I’m excited to see the Bigwallet family grow….mostly because Lilsimsie’s nightware legacy challenge has now surpassed the Bigwallet family in number of generations (but I blame that on EA for not fixing the bugs with For Rent in the game as quickly, the Bigwallet series are connected to the packs and it’s difficult to make a Bigwallet series focusing on a pack when it breaks things in the necessary gameplay; thankfully you found other ways to keep fans happy with new series and I’ll admit the Every Life Stage turned Tiny Town sims are definitely sims I hope get their own ongoing series in some ways. Of all the Renruts there’s been, these are the ones I have connected to for some reason). I don’t mind that this video was mostly building. It’s all things you and your viewers have been waiting to have done! Glad you were able to do it finally!!!!
the empty back room behind the bakery could be a communal / shared bathroom so when you are having parties they will have a place to go? and maybe the new janitor closet for that impromtue whoo hoo?
Its such a small thing but i work in an architectural office and for bathrooms we usually plan the doors to open exactly not towards the wall, like you put them, but so that it opens in a way that "hides" the toilet from the room. I dont know, i just realized when you said it
Love the new background!! The Venator looks AWESOME posed in the background like that and Frani is so PRECIOUS!!! I will never get over how cute this dog breed is, like a living Teddy Bear! ❤❤Also, I think I'm okay with both this framing and if you decided to be more zoomed in, both work. Although the further distance may be harder to see you if I watch on my phone, but on my laptop, its good! Thank you for another awesome episode, James! 😄
anytime we get to see Frani makes me very happy. she's getting so big! I also love the way she was just listening to you talk to, what she probably thought was no one. "well, Papa's talking to himself again. I'd better keep him company." I'm so excited for the next generation! Laird has the potential to have kids with the alien trait and the vampire trait. let's go!
I love the way Franny is looking at James. She is wondering if Dad is talking to her or to himself again. I need to speak to Mom about this. Oh no Mom is talking to herself too!
I didnt even know there was a new vid till my kiddo kept replay Fran's entrace bit cuz he adores doggos. 😅 i swear he is as big of a fan of James as i am now. We started watching the the days of sim supply when he was a toddler and now is in the double digits and watches James all on his own 😂
I feel like black widow does make for a good rags to riches, I’m looking forward to Sandalwoods adventures. I love Frani joining in, maybe puppy cam although that may clutter the room
I'm getting that ceiling glitch too -- I built a house the other day and all the ceilings look really green when looking up at them. Sometimes they randomly change too. I figured it's a bug from the updates. (Also YES to mr. abernathy staying in the household as honorary Grandpa)
