This House is 100% free 

That's a great idea! Base game house for a family that made it

Huh. I've never noticed this, but you're absolutely right!

THIS! I'm a fairly new player, so while I have bought a few of the expansion and game packs, I have nowhere near the entire collection. What's been frustrating for me is looking through the Gallery in search of downloadable houses that use only the base game and the very few packs that I own, but it seems that almost invariably the houses I like well enough to take a closer look at use items from a lot of different packs. I've had a tiny bit of luck finding a few homes that focus on using only the Base Game + one other pack that I happen to own, but otherwise it's like "This house can be yours as long as you own this muckin' huge collection of added packs." I guess the upside is that I'm finally learning some building skills out of sheer desperation to have nice homes made using only the packs I already own, and I selected those particular packs carefully in large part *because* of the Build/Buy items I knew they contained. But the people who create nice Base Game or Base Game +1 homes hold a special place in my heart just for being more considerate to us newer players without tons of disposable income for expansion packs.

Lilsimsie does tons of base game only builds, not sure if she's your favorite but if you're looking for base game I'd take a look at her gallery :)

@@EvieDelacourt I'm excited seeing new people come into the sims, and I can understand the struggle of trying to find nice houses with the packs (or lack there of) you have. It's honestly really discouraging seeing all of those greyed out circles in the gallery lol. I applaud your growing building skills though, I've been playing TS4 since release and I'm only just now decent at building T-T edit:typo

He also used the $8 white wallpaper I think, there's a cheaper $4 version 😭

Don’t forget the $300 doors

​@@JamesTurnerYT In real life I'd prioritize the structural elements too as furniture is easily changeable

@@JamesTurnerYT Yeah, I just kept yelling at my computer, "just change the doors!" lol

I think that indoor garbage in the kitchen is expensive too. At least they are in real life.

Oh...and it could be a collab. He can have Deli furnish & decorate the interior.

I was thinking the same thing

Regardless of packs too! I'd love to see what he does with this house in particular if he had free rein of the catalog

The point of the video is to not use any packs since they cost us the player money and this is base game under budget only.

@@miunya I know the point of this video! It’s good for everyone can download and play it, but I love structure of this house and want to see another version of it without any conditions.

Same !! lol

Right? I’d like to see him try to get as close to 0 simoleons as possible

Thats a good challange...I wanna see him try it

You can definitely make “free” stuff, but it won’t be usable, only look like it is haha. We could do a free build but buy furniture perhaps

Tbf, it's the reason why I clicked on it immediately 🤣

or the $400 painting over the bed!

Or change the $12 wood floors or the $8 white walls too…

You may take my chairs, but you will never take my doors!

Especially beacuse most of the time as you play you never see the doors

@@Laurastar2009 What do you mean? The doors are always visible when I play.

And the curtains, they would have been the first thing I ditched

And some of the windows haha.

The painting in the master bedroom!!!

The basegame doors are all so ugly that I completely agree with the use of the 300 dollar doors in a starter home 😂

I get it, but in real life furniture is easier to upgrade than fixtures like doors

I was thinking the same thing!!

I definitely wanna see a "how James would decorate this" (base game and not versions)

Do you mean the shell the same and budget versus whatever he wants or same shell and same ‘style’ just budget vs luxury items different? Either would be fun to watch!

SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!

Same

that sounds like the challenges they do on sorted food

that's such a good comparison, love it!

Actually pretty doable

He should do this for sure!!!

I thought that too! That would be an interesting challenge, but a base game only house sounds amazing!

Omg thank you so much for recommending this, I've been itching to find someone who designs this way - I just wish he did his models on sims 😭

Me seeing simmers constantly put beds in the death position 😵

😂

Wait…are we sure??

Well, technically this is free to play in the sims, so in a way it’s free 😅

what’s a Linzee?

something that I find amazing is that every simmer I follow said at least one time "oh I learned how to build watching James Turner" and when I started watching him I got it.

You should make it!

@@iamsongforsomeone994 Only if I had help. I could do the video editing and voice over, but writing a good script and preparing the B-roll is more work than I have time for.

So annoying

I was thinking the same thing. I live in Louisiana and you would never see a house like this around here. Pretty cool.

I was just thinking this also. I'm in Alabama, and even here in a city (Greater Birmingham Area) that has a lot of different housing styles, ranging from a few remaining Victorian homes and commercial buildings to some very modern architecture, I don't recall ever seeing this particular style of home before. I love how even just within the US, preferred house styles can vary widely from region to region, based on available building materials, population density, and other factors.

where in the rocky mountains do you live? I feel like I've seen a bunch of these types in Boulder, Aspen and sometimes Denver

Imagine all the cultural differences in European countries lol. Of course Asian and African architecture are very unique too, but in Europe it's so funny that we have so many very small countries squished into one place and all of them look so different. I'd just need to take a train or drive a car for around 7 hours and then I'd get to the border of my country. And once I get into a foreign city it's like visiting a new world because architecture is veeeery different everywhere.

Nah I don’t think it’s really practical. I think it can look sleek, but I don’t think it makes a lot of sense

Nor in places hot and dry. Shade please! Every bit helps.

Great idea!

But they look good 😍

@@JamesTurnerYT that they do. It’s still going to be my new Daisy Hotel
