This is possible the most absurd floor plan I've seen... ➤ Visit my website for my Twitter, Twitch, other channels and more! My Website: jamesturner.yt
I think this could possibly become a new challenge. If a Sim complete an aspiration or goals towards an aspiration, they could remove a wall and slowly have a bigger house. I think the scale should be MUCH bigger though with multiple floors and all there needs are spread throughout the whole house
Multiple floors would definitely make everything more awkward, especially if you have only ladders. The trash piles would add up fast whenever things break on the other floors or if there was a toddler potty/cat litter box that isn't automatic. 😂
Haha! Damn, That took a dark turn. I shouldn’t laugh at that but the sudden change of perspective about the design of the house from Mickey D’s to a Funeral home caught me off guard.
One thing I don't like about sims mazes is that it's impossible for the sim to get lost. Takes all the fun out of it when they know exactly where to go.
The Winchester mystery house in California is the closest you're gonna get lol, it has hallways to nowhere, doors that open to nothing, staircases leading to a wall, etc. The former owner thought she was being chased by spirits, so she kept building onto the house to "confuse the spirits"
I’ve heard this but recently I’ve heard that she was communicating with the spirits trying to communicate with her family and the spirits she would speak with that weren’t her family would tell her what they needed built to make them feel more at home in the space almost like if she was apologizing for the fact that her husband made such a deadly weapon.
@@ElizaShakiraMassani I think what happened was a mixture of both, she communicated w her families spirits that said she needed to keep on building. I could be wrong tho, there's a lot of variations
The shenanigans have sent me! I think this concept needs to be revisited, but more diabolical. I’m thinking put each counter section in a different nook around the house, because sims already find the most inconvenient places to prepare food, so why not take advantage of that! And the bathroom? No sink. The only sink is in a nook across the entire house.
I was thinking that too! Make it a new mini-challenge. Start with the house as inconvenient as possible. Nothing is a room, just the smallest possible nook you can usable out a piece of furniture in. And probably add some hazards like a cow plant in random spots. Then you complete some sort of gameplay challenges to slowly remove walls until the whole thing is finally a real house.
It'd be even more interesting to have all the appliances/functional stuff spread out throughout the house. For example, the bathroom should be spread out to all 4 corners of the house so the sim has to travel through the maze to complete each function. Toilet in one corner, shower in the another corner of the house, sink in another area.. etc.
There's actually a really good reason that Victorian and earlier homes were built the way they were. Small rooms chained along seems dumb to us because we have modern heating and cooling. A small separate room makes a lot more sense when you are heating with fireplaces and cooling with windows. You go into the cold room. Light the fire and the room is toasty warm really quickly. So it is only strange to a post electricity aesthetic when we heat the whole house at once instead of just the room we're in.
16:05 - As someone who lives in a very old house, and *literally* has a bathroom with 3 ways to get into it, this statement is so true! Fantastic build as always, James! Your creativity has no bounds.
I was half expecting James to cut down a wall for the dining table so you had to walk in two different directions through the house to sit on either side of the table.
It's like someone took an abandoned lazer quest and decided to live in it. Edited: Actually I take it back. It's like you took the Sim's natural pathfinding AI and build a house to suit it.
OMG honestly the sheer size and number of Sims is what would make it so frustrating; the AI literally gets stupider/buggier the more Sims there are on the lot (downside is they're more inclined to just do nothing or all the same thing.) Add even one more floor and a toddler for at least one Sim and you're doomed. lol Make it a single adult, 7 toddler household with toddlers on every floor and see how fast they get taken away by child protection services. 🤣😆
@@DoveJS toddlers in every floor........... THATS SO CRUEL I LOVE IT. and there should only be ladders as access to get to each floor so the toddlers stay in their designated floor prison and only the adult sim can get around !
@@hfjireh 3 toddler attic, 3 toddler basement, only ladders, fireplaces perpetually lit, dust bunny system on, no vaccums, no trash chute. Edit: Favorite tot gets rotated on ground floor or maybe have a doggo to train. 🐕 Good luck, kids! 😂😇
This has the same energy as eight year old me decorating houses in The Sims 1 with whatever I plucked from the catalogue without heed for whether or not it made any sense. I love it
Maybe close the hallways and put walls with the sneak-out windows there, so he has to sneak to every room xD CallMeKevin did that in one of his houses and it looks hilarious when the sims laugh mischievously when entering their own bedroom or livingroom
Throwing a party in the maze house might cause more funny encounters lol You could also add a ladder somewhere in the maze so he could reach the roof for something ridiculous and random like one single bathtub or a popcorn or ice cream machine.
Reminds me of the real life Winchester Manson. If you don't know what that is, I would seriously consider looking up the building and its history. It was built as a labyrinth and is haunted as heck! We are talking doors that lead to nowhere (or outside drops from the 2nd floor), hidden rooms, trapped doors, etc. Edit: Morbid podcast did an amazing job covering this place a while back
21:11 The reason that the sims keep doing this is because of decor likes and dislikes, which makes sims stop whatever they're doing to look at a decor they like or dislike, that's why I avoid giving my sims a favorite decor to avoid that kind of thing, it's really annoying that this still happens in the game.
I love how this was a completely wild idea but James manages to make this functional and aesthetically pleasing. Imaging being the poor soul who buys this house sight unseen and then walks into this behemoth of a labyrinth! 😅
Thank you for doing this classic Sims design so my curious mind doesn't have to go do it. I remember doing a maze in Sims 1 like 16 years ago lol. It's hilarious watching them walk through it with purpose. But then because needs go down so fast in Sims 1, it really didn't go well for them.
I'd put in a lot of plumbobs, dangerous objects (cowplants, fire-toilet,...) and one very angry, intimidating furniture-eating werewolf (like Greg). Then lock up bunch of sims inside with him and see who will be the last sim standing.
Definitely one of those builds where you have way more fun designing and entertaining yourself than you thought you would lol. Love Sims videos like this! Thank you for always entertaining us!
I'm actually doing that too, walking back to the room where I came from because I try to remember why I walked out of that room and what the heck I wanted to do.
I remember in Sims 2 you had to show a sim once or twice how to get through a complex maze but after that they usually could find their way on their own. I don't know how that worked in terms of coding, but it did.
James, can you PLEASE attempt to build that one kentucky house where everyone tries to find the bathtub in the virtual tour? The whole house is a literal maze
This reminds me of the ‘1 tile bigger for each room’ house James did that ended up being used in the paranormal Rags to Riches, with all the awkward, cramped spaces 😂
You should look up the Winchester Mansion. The house is a basically maze if you don’t know it. Stairs leading to no where, doors that go to no where. On the second floor there is a literal door that goes OUTSIDE to nothing so you can fall out of the house. ….. The Winchester Mystery House has 160 rooms including 40 bedrooms, 40 staircases, 13 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 10,000 window panes, 2,000 doors, 52 skylights, 47 fireplaces, three elevators, two basements and just one shower.
I had built a maze house, I think a couple years ago. There was a room in each corner (including the only bathroom), living room in the center, a staircase just in the maze... upstairs there was a bedroom at either end with a maze hallway in between them from the stairs. It was such a pain to play in 😂😂 Sims would pass out before getting to the living room or to bed, wet themselves before getting to the bathroom, etc.
LOL James trying to make the outside look great, cam pans so you can see the house on the next lot... even one of the best Sims players can't fix this one 🤣
Haha I remember doing that in The Sims 2 a long time ago. It was such a disaster. But ever so much fun. Thanks for doing this. I put six people in the house and with hallways only wide enough for one person to pass. It was pretty hilarious.
I would love to see each object placed at one of the dead ends. XD Like the fridge in one dead end, the counter in another, the stove somewhere else, etc.
I enjoyed this maze floor plan, imagine if a family of eight live there (but all children are toddlers) but the place is much bigger, that would be terrible yet challenging 🤭😂😂
I'm imagining this house as an online listing, where they only show pictures of the outside and main rooms. Then you go to see it and realise why its so cheap 😂 😂
The closest thing to a maze house IRL would be the Winchester Mansion. It is fascinating if you ever get to go walk through. Fake doors, stairs to nowhere and windows the look into walls.
Living in this house with a few toddlers would immediately crank up the difficulty 😂😭
7 toddler challenge pls
@@abrfr06 🤣 The toddlers would be taken so fast since it took an hour to get to them
I'd like to see that 😄😄
Their movement skill would go up so fast 😂
I love 100 baby challenges, don't give me ideas.
As if you’d need a treadmill living here. You’d easily get all your steps in trying to find the bathroom 😂
No daily jog either. And Fido? Nope, doggo won't need one either
It would’ve been hilarious to do a hedge maze outside for outdoor activities! Grill, outdoor seating, maybe a hot tub, garden, etc
I actually made a maze lounge with this same concept!
Reminds me of that video James made a few years ago where he built a hedge maze! It was the first video I watched on his channel.
I’d actually love to see James do more weird floor plan builds like this, reminds me of the snowy escape let’s play house
I was just about to comment this lmao
Yooo I almost forgot about that cursed ass house haha

I think it looks like the typical American funeral home.

ideal for using the first person mode lol
They're programmed to do that. It would be weird if they know how to rationalize
@@wenzdae_ Scaryyyyy
Then change to first person and direct them manually on that mode instead of doing it when you can see the exit.
It would be interesting if you could turn this off, similar to autonomy.

and give them multiple options for appliances & functional objects that are so far apart so they’ll mess up their routing 🤩

You should do a let's play in this house. With some rules so you can renovate it slowly.

Am I the only one who feels fresh when Semaj gets a fresh haircut? I need to cut my hair…..

this is like having a two-story house and your sims washing the dishes on the the furthest possible sink, but on purpose
