- This lot is pretty strange, but I think I have the solution to it!

I love that this rec center feels totally different from the one you built in the wharf district. I feel like the wharf district is definitely catered to younger sims and the parents of younger sims. but this one is more skewed to older sims in general. which I think works really well for your rags to riches series since the first kids willow and ash are kids and soon to be teens, I can imagine them hanging out here all the time with their friends after school
yep grandpa takes the toddlers to infants to the first rec cntr and then kids to young adults come here.
To that end, it may be good to give this the lot trait - teen hangout
I did a set of 4 Victorian row homes on this lot. I think it makes sense for a San Francisco based world, but I do wish we could use them as apartments
Yeah it’s perfect for victorian homes or the marina style (flat roof with bay window)
If you have a computer rather than console, then you can put a household in one of the row houses, and then populate the others with "roommates" using the LittleMsSam's Roommates mod. Assign them beds in the other homes, and then lock the doors so that only the inhabitants of those particular homes can enter the doors to their own home. I do something similar in my medieval save so my royal family can live in their castle but have other people living in the various outbuildings.
prophecy
I think this lot would work great if we could put multiple lot types together - I imagine very squished terraces with a clutter of small flats, family homes and teensy shops all cluttered together on this strip. (I can already imagine a community of mom n pop shops that haven't sold out to the Landgraab Company and are fighting the gentrification of the area lol)
doing this with for rent would be so cool. Putting little yard sale tables out and those food and drinks stands out there for the “shops”
Love the sneaky Deli pop in 😂😂
I came to see if anyone had else saw! 😂
Hahaha, glad I'm not the only one 😅 🤣
This looks so cool. I honestly miss the days of James building whatever he’s inspired to build. I know that can lead to burn out, but he’s such a phenomenal builder.
Have you checked out Syd Mac's channel? She definitely doesn't do the same types of builds as James and Deli (not often, anyway), but she does build a LOT and is super creative, might be a nice source of supplemental build videos for ya, haha
This turned out AWESOME! Every time I drive past the real building I'm going to wish it was as awesome inside as this build is. Might just quietly send this to Wodonga Council hahaha.
That's really cool that you know what building it is and you've been in it. I'm never that lucky LOL
my best friend's family owns a farm in wodonga, one of the OG farming families, i told her about the shout out!
You should make a rec center where sims can learn every skill at- like an inspiration based building for cooking, painting, music etc a focus based building for gardening, programming, hardiness etc and so on
I started on this lot with my new rags to riches legacy and it was PERFECT. Rec center is right there, just a little walk away from the lot is the splash pad and public bathrooms…makes having no money for needs *much* easier
Oh my gosh! This build is honestly unreal. Gotta be one of my favorites you’ve ever done!! I can’t wait to see you bring you LP sims here! 🎉 10/10 👍🏻
So cool! I love how realistic this lot is, like a true recreation center I'd find in any modern city. This build obviously uses quite a few packs, but I would have liked if this shipped out with San Sequoia.
Okay but why did they think a 40x20 lot (with 3 open sides) would be a good idea? In a family, residential world?!?
It would definitely be a challenge to do a non awkward house here
where i live it's pretty common to have a long piece of land with a house in the front and garden in the back. sometimes you have "pretty" garden next to the house and a "practical" one with fruit trees further back. so i feel like the size is fine, but yeah, the 3 open sides and a location is very weird. it could work in henford with other similar houses next to it, but definitely not here.
They intended for this lot to be used as a community type lot rather than residential. There are a few lots they make that way. I like it because its tempting to always make families but then they don't have much to do if you do up the world with no cool places to visit.
I kind of like it. It spawns near the splash pads (closer than the rec centre) so I think it was always intended as commercial, they just didn't want to build it.
I love that lot😍
A block away from my house is exactly a house on a long lot like this, with roads on three sides. There used to be a hospital there, but they tore it down decades ago. It’s a little strange to be sure, but it is realistic I suppose
I actually watched the VOD of this a few days ago, and at the time I wasn't totally sold on what you got done in that, but the final product turned out absolutely rad! The exterior colour scheme looks really contemporary and cool, and the arcade space is amazing. Awesome work James!
I LOVE the unique outside look of this place. I was mildly interested when they announced rec centers but now that I've used them some and seen the things people build, they're one of my favorite things.
I love this build so much and already added it to my game. The arcade makes me so nostalgic for the old Aladdin's Castle arcade I would frequent in the early 2000s. Magnificent job, James!
Love this build. It's beautiful. It gives me all the feels in the arcade. It looks like every arcade I went to in my teens. Love the bowling alley attached. Love the way you hid the rock climbing walls.
Your builds always inspire me to try building that myself, or maybe some awesome building I see.
Love this!
A rec center kinda geared towards elders would be cool. So maybe a pool for water aerobics, a knitting corner, maybe even some yoga mats outside on the lawn for tai chi. A track outside to walk around. A bingo hall woth the game tables. Maybe some easels
You really snapped with this build James! This feels so realistic, functional, AND really pleasing to look at!
Love to see a rec center kinda like the YMCA I grew up near... with a pool, party area for birthdays, an area for kids clubs (like scouting), etc.
this gives me so much nostalgic vibes, especially the carpet, I remember roller skating on it and trying not to fall like a sim lol, also super honored to be on your members list!!!
I love this world but wish they gave us a larger variety of lot sizes - I felt like most of them were too small to use as legacy gameplay, but I also try to avoid bulldozing existing townie lots unless I have no choice. In this case theres only one large lot and I had to bulldoze a townie house (with backstory) to use it.
I agree. The world is really pretty but quite impractical for the type of gameplay they’re encouraging.
Ooh, this turned out so nice! I was really looking forward to seeing this finished after watching the livestream - all the greenery makes it look so good, love it.
thinking about how unbelievably loud it would be in that canteen, with a bowling alley on the floor above it 😆
This lot is perfect for a drivethrough or gasstation. I love the roads on all sides.
Even a vet is nice here, like the clinic is on the left street and the private home is on the right street.
You can build 4 houses on the lot, all facing in a different direction, living in one, renting out the other 3 to roommates.
I love this lot.
I saw this up on your gallery earlier lol, I figured the build video was coming soon. I downloaded immediately and I love it!
It's always easier to build after watching a video like this. Thank you for showing the full cycle of construction. It is especially useful to see the interior design of the premises. 💥👍
Beautiful build, practical, not much clutter-- You're my favorite builder.
This is one of the coolest sims buildings I’ve ever seen! I really really liked it. Awesome job.
That's so cool! A suggestion for Sims to do stuff in community lots is create clubs with those activities (like bowling) and set the gathering location to the lot you want them to go
Fun to watch the replay of the live and then this, to see your choices in cutting it down. I'll have to become a member when I can for behind the scenes! Love that stuff.
I was just looking for a lot like this last night! I'm so going to use this build! Love it. ☺️❤️
This is so cool! This would be an amazing rec center for the real world. So many options, and all of them so fun. So glad that carpet is part of the canon now. Nothing else can capture that Vibe.
If I were to use this for myself, I might take out two of the bowling alleys and put in a shoe rental instead, because it's such a classic part of both bowling and roller skating. Not that they could use that, but having a big old shoe closet with a food service desk at the front would make it look kind of right, and it would be so cool. Oh, and have a jukebox in the roller rink!
This is what TS4 needs, a game pack that is all about arcades and carnivals. There are things from other packs that would work well with this like the Ferris Wheel, the ice cream stand, etc. Here are some things from previous games that could be brought back for that idea.
pool tables (TS1, TS2 and TS3), pinball machine (TS1, TS2 and TS3), mini golf (TS1), Merry-go-rounds (TS2) and Seesaws (TS3), Mechanical bull (TS1 & TS3), Dancing cage (TS1), the volleyball net (The volleyball net could allow no more than 4 sims, kids and up, on each side) (TS1), Archery (TS1), and ax throwing (TS2)
All-in-one Bathrooms from TS3. They would be perfect for the house types from Tiny Living and for sims players who do rags to riches. Yes, I know someone did convert these, but it would nice to them have in TS4. Maybe they could be slotted to work on Treehouses.
Proper Arcade machines: claw machine (TS3), arcade basketball (TS3 store), Table top arcade (TS3 & TS3 Store), Skee ball (TS3), ones like the 3 Smack-A-Gnome! games (TS3) (there was also one from TS1 like that called Whack-A-Will!) and just regular size machines like the ones from TS1, TS2 and TS3
Carnival Stuff: Love tester machine, food eating contest, Tanning booth, Apple bobbing tank, Face painting booth and the kissing booth from TS3. Carousel, Classic Gumball Machine, Hot Air Balloon from TS3 store. From TS1: Strength O Meter, Chicken Toss Game, Bust-A-Clown Game and Captain Popper's Dart Game
Snow Cone Maker (TS3), Cotton Candy (TS1 & TS3 Store), Wood Fire Oven (TS3 Store), deep fryer (TS3 Store), and the Chun Co. Teppanyaki Grill (TS3 Store), The Smoothie stand (TS1) (They could just update exiting food stands to serve smoothies. TS1 smoothies are Banana Berry, the Apple Combination smoothie and the Strawberry Freeze.), They could have add food carts like the hot dog cart from TS1 and even add one for pretzels.
Food Trucks (TS3): The food you can get from it is Hot dog, Taco, Burrito, Clam Chowder, Hamburger, and Plasmafruit Chowder. Some TS3 Seasons food could be added to it like Hot Wings, Nachos, Onion Rings, Grasshopper Pie, French Fries, Chili Cheese Fries, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Cuban Sandwich and Lemonade. Some new food that could added: poutine, Pierogies, cheese curds, funnel cakes, corn dogs, Croffle, Gyros, Falafel, Satay, Fried chicken, Meat pies, Paczki, donuts/doughnuts, Pavlova, Vacherin, Lamington, Eton mess, Mille-feuille, Peach Melba, and Profiteroles. The game could have multiple food trucks like ones for grill cheese with different types, one for desserts, one for breakfast, one for donuts/doughnuts, one for tacos, nachos and burritos, one for pizza, one for international cuisine, one for Ice Cream with the Colored Popsicle, Freezer Bunny Popsicle, Fudge Popsicle from the TS3, along with some others and the ones from TS4 High School Years, etc. Your sims could be allowed to run there own food stand, food cart or food truck, in addition to the restaurants in Dine Out. If sims are able to do this, then the player would get to decide the menu.
It was so great being part of the live stream for this build. I loved the thought process and inspiration you had for it. It's so useful to have multiple skill building sets on one lot
I'm glad for any useful lots. The world was nice but lacked something for Sims to do suprised no bar lol , though I do love the library in the world 😊
Absolutely adore this build! Especially how the building looks on the outside! ❤❤
That really is such a weird lot! I ended up building a playground/park on that lot. I geared it mainly towards families with infants and toddlers.
This turned out so good! 😍 I saw the live stream and was really excited to see the finished product. I also love the floating grasses in the sky lol 😂 gotta love the sims, totally not broken at all, I have the floating buildings in the sky in San Myshuno, it’s so strange lol 😅
This turned out so good! watched this live and love how you finished it
This reminds me of a big building in a city turned into an expensive dance club with lots of activities to do and expend money on while you're drunk, so maybe it's something to look for building a dance club for the upcoming teens!
This build is incredible. James always blows my mind with his building skills 😭❤️
I lived on this lot for my playthrough 😂 I pretended the property around it was sold to the city when the town was growing but the sim on this lot fought tooth and nail to keep their family home so now the city is kinda just waiting for them to die or move so they can snatch it. At least that's how I justify living there bc I really like it haha
This is an AMAZING build. Thank you, James!
I am so excited that you finished this build!
Both rec centers look amazing😍 really love them
I made a craftsman home with a long backyard for my legacy challenge (playing with some non traditional rules so I can move lots throughout) and it works fairly well. The only annoying thing is that sims keep coming in the backdoor because it's technically closer to the spawn point even when the front door is set as such. But mostly it totally works. I like being near the splash pad. Wish the "loves water" quirk counted for loving playing in the splash pad tho
Wow ! Stunning exterior ! It looks so cool !
I did my growing together playthrough on this lot and it actually really works well !!! (I used one of Deli's builds that works perfectly) it's actually a really quiet spot and has a sort of "cul de sac" vibe when you live there not busy road... it's really close to the splash parks too !
I love that this build is also a small shout out and advertisement for public libraries!
James- maybe to save a bit of space, build a 'crypt' basement on the cemetery lot for the 'important Bigwallets'. Orrr build a small tomb on there, and you can place all the 'non family' (Sidney etc) on the shelves in there..
This is sooo cool! Such a nice build James!
This gives me so much nostalgia for the roller rink/arcade I used to go to as a kid.
omg... now I wanna make a big roller rink for my save.... this is such a fun build!!!
So good to see it finished, like all the new additions from after stream!
I enjoyed watching the stream (I missed it live but rewatched it later) and I also enjoyed this video! Totally different style than I build with but such an incredible build!
This is so cool I am having all of my child/teen/young adult birthday parties here🤩🤩 the arcade just made me so nostalgic and the coloured lights really do bring it to life!
I usually don't like "modern" buildings, but this is wonderful! Downloading!
I love how this whole place turned out! But especially the arcade! So perfect!!! 💯💯💯
Love the arcade area especially the prize redeem counter so cool! In my country the arcades used to have Japanese photo booth too.
This looks great- you’ve inspired me to go visit the real life library next time I’m down in Melbourne. For a potential third rec- centre I’d loved to see a community garden space and maybe a robotics station- more of a centre that focuses young adults and Uni Students and the skills they need
it's pretty far from melbourne, wodonga is on the border from VIC to NSW. i recommend going around easter, they have a local gymkhana that rocks! my best friend's family owns a beef/merino sheep farm there.
Love this build! Fyi- Sims only autonomously bowl on bar and lounge lots
Seeing you build the arcade makes me want the Sims 3 arcade games back even more now. They need to give them back to us! lol
So good!! Love all the details 😊
Wow this turned out so well. I missed the end of the stream the other day. Can’t wait to see your family hang out here!!
Oh my word!!! The arcade looks so cool! Love the detail especially the prize counter
Lovely build James, I am definitely downloading it.
Love how this turned out if i download this i will have to purchase a few of the packs he used but would be worth it to have my Simmies having more things to do. Awesome job as always love your builds James.
Heeeeyo! I'm from Wodonga! I can't believe you built this building and I agree it does look really cool IRL. Great job!
Cool!
@@JamesTurnerYT Could have used a pool table.
WOW. Love how you have finished everything off. Great useable lot for family gameplay!
I couldn't pick a better time to open youtube
I was listening then heard Wodonga and had to go back and listen again cause I'm from Wodonga and normally people don't know it is even a place 😊😊 this is so cool
I want to see someone build a "spite house" on this lot. I think it looks like the perfect lot for one. Like the city tried to take their land to build a road but they refused to sell so the city built around them instead. lol
this turned out so so cool! had so much fun watching the live and now seeing the finished product
I love this so much. I'd probably modify the bowling alley to match the blacklight vibe of the arcade, but it's definitely a fun and nice looking build.
This looks sick the overhang and windows are perfect
LOVE THIS BUILD!! I hope you end up bringing the Bigwallet family here 🤩
I did a 20x20 cafe, and then a 20x20 park, side by side on that lot. It looks really cute.
Love your videos mate!
This turned out SO SICK👌🏼 looks even better in game too 👏🏼💚
I can almost hear this building. :D Very cool!
Love this..I'm snagging it up as soon as I turn my game on this weekend! 🎉
James you make me want to purchase every expansion i need to download this amazing build. Soooooon I will. :)
Love that you took inspiration from Hyphen for your build!
lol the deligracy cameo at 0:50
James really excels with community and commercial builds!
Our YMCA rec centers here have a gym, swimming, an outside field for soccer. Also you could make one and incorporate get together and make clubs. Like a swimming team or art club ECT.
Love the arcade room, and the prize shelf!
The lighting around the ping pong table would make rerieving the ball absolutely impossible, which makes me laugh 😂❤️
I just made a toddler and infant play center. Seeing how you'd tackle that would be fun.
that wall cut out with the window gave me super sim house with the big portrait in the foyer vibes
I actually love this lot. Just built my new 100 baby house there. Built house on the left and used the right side as my yard with swings/jungle gym/monkey bars, the treehouse and a garden pond.
awesome build!!
The "hey!" of something wrong always make me laugh 😂 the floating grass then the wall that didn't get paint ahahaha
I built an outdoor event area there. Mostly for weddings or even big outdoor parties and I love it for that
Great built!
I love this build so much.
This might be my favorite James community lot.
Can’t wait to download!❤❤❤
This is awesome very good use of that lot.I’ve been trying to figure out what to do on it.Such a odd lot only one like that in the game is newcrest.Thought about putting two homes with a joining yard.Very nice.
I nearly didn’t watch this bc I hardly ever use community builds- but I absolutely love this. It gives so much purpose to those items we tend to forget are in the game. I’m definitely downloading. ❤️
Well done James!!!
You nailed the arcade.
Takes me back!
