[Sebastien4399]

the outside makes a perfect house 2

[Jetsbff]

@TheSimMan this is sooo weird! i made a gym called jims Gym!! not as wonderful as yours though

[donalduck4ever]

like the song says: wowowowow!

[JacobSheppard]

So it's a public building, and not a house?

[trackmaniakid27]

you should make one that is a parking garage on the bottom, and a hotel on the top

[M3GASIMS]

OMG lol i stil remember this vid..i think this is the first building process you have ever done right?? OMG lol

[iCottonHippie]

wow. you're sims must love you! :O amazing job. :)

[neneondeck450]

[cod4JAY]

[SuperGolden10]

OMG!!!

Perfect, very good job!!

[josmasterofvideos]

[ellarina3]

I agree, you should be an achiteqit...

[Banana15295]

Perfect!!!!

[bishockmage]

how did u make it a gym? and can people actually use it

[TheSimMan]

A gym is a building that hosts excersize equipment for the public to use, and yes, Sims can use it lol

[PriestPrayer]

Amazing, I tried making one and it was good but not as good as it. I am downloading this right away. :)

[bishockmage]

did u actually make it a gym

[TheSimMan]

Sure did :-)

[jjdalmatian10]

Are you planning on becoming an architect? You should really consider it. Your houses and apartments are Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[7SingerGirl7]

what expansion pack are the treadmills and bikes and stuff on?

[razea2k8]

why do u even play this

[Bunnokazooie]

He'd make a great high-budget architect.

[ZacharyCort]

How do you make glass roofs?

[kokiiito]

[lpscprsvpvids]

[YurChuck23]

If only gyms were like that , then I would be there everyday

[citlali97]

[asswhole239]

[lukeephson]

[Disfik]

[Rupesrocks]

Do u want a medal?

Just kidding

thats pretty cool

[alyssapirate1426]

do you ever have a plan on what ur gonna build? cuz it always looks fab! i look up to you everytime i build houses

[OneTierdProductions]

did u film that with the camera in the game while u were building it? cuz i cant see any tools... =/

[TheSimMan]

Yes, I filmed this and my other videos whilst in the game using the video recorder tool. I filmed in TAB mode ( Cameraman mode)

[OneTierdProductions]

What you mean with TAB mode? LOVE your houses/vids and the song too!

Im making a house right now, I will put a vid of it later! =)

[riexer]

@TheSimMan Ok, but why don't you rotate camera?

[jajatravian]

and how do people get sauna

[jajatravian]

wich expasions pack do you need to get the running thing,bisykle things

5/5

[TheSimMan]

The Sauna comes with Bon Voyage. As for the excersize bike, I beleive that comes with FreeTime...

[mervinchoa90]

wow, it looks like an architectural wonder, very nice:)

[TheSimMan]

I like to consider it as a bit of a landmark. This is my first most successful lot ever created :-) Thanks alot for your comment, I'm glad you admire the lot!

[mervinchoa90]

your welcome:), I kinda envy you guys being able to play sims 2, I for one can't even open the game, it always says "Please insert correct CD-ROM" >:(

[TheSimMan]

Sorry to hear that. Make sure you're using Disc1 of the latest expansion or stuff pack you own to kickstart the game :-)

[mervinchoa90]

I did use disc1, although I think my sims 2 is pirated (maybe that's why it didn't work), maybe I'll just buy the whole set of sims 2, so I will be able to try building...............buildin­gs XD

[amiterisu]

Where the heck do you get ideas for buildings all of mine look the same,saldy.Are there websites that have floor plans?

[TheSimMan]

I create all the floor plans :-) I don't use floor plans by other people :-D

[amiterisu]

Cool,so...I gues how do you create them in the first place would be a better question.

[TheSimMan]

Imagination I guess! Start with a wall and see where it takes you :-D

[amiterisu]

That's my method,but they usually turn out the same.

[babyn2g]

love this songg watz it called?

[NinjaNaruto81]

hey it's called center not centre! D:<

[jellemer1423]

how did you get the foundation on the roof?

but nice!

[TheSimMan]

That is the Stage Foundation :) It comes with TheSims2 Open for Business. Happy Simming! :D

[allimist]

Woah! Great as always!

But why do you have multicolor things around the rim of your video?

Are you using the In game camera?

[0BadgerPie]

In frame... 0:28 you make a roof-like part.

I've been busting to work out how that's done.

I just can't for the life of me figure it out.

Care to share the secret?

[zmami]

Crazy

[Chelsea810]

Woah, Im so obsessed with your Creations now!

My Laptop Broke and i in middle of making a Sims 2 movie and now I haven't played Sims 2 in 5 MONTHS >:(

So i watch your stuff to get ideas for movies sets and Blah :D

Woo!

[TheSimMan]

LOL Thanks :) I suppose that means you like my work :D Sorry to hear your laptop died!! My computer did that to me once a long time ago. Thought I'd never live :P Thanks for commenting. Happy Simming to you!

[OcarinaofTimeBGE]

i love all the buildings you make, they're so cool. Your communities must look amazing and be heaps of fun to play in too.lol

gregjaeger16 is right, you should apply for making community lots on the sims.

[TheSimMan]

Hello again :D lol Thanks, thanks and thanks! They are alot of fun to play in, and hey, if there were such a position for TheSims such as 'Lot making', gimme the papers, I'll sign them! LOL Thanks again Ocarina..

[K471309]

WOW how long did it take you??

[TheSimMan]

A few hours. 2-6, I can't remember lol

[portugal4lifey]

how do you get the end bit which says "made with the sims2 with the sims holing a camera."

[TheSimMan]

You download that video part at thesims2. com :) Look under 'Cool Stuff'

[TheSimMan]

LOL Thank you

[weemanhaha]

I Pretty sure you could have a job from doing this! Even selling on some Building ideas from your game to real life! Do you have any stuff up on Modthesims2 ? Because i find it strange i have'nt seen you on the Featured page xD ,

Happy Simming.

[TheSimMan]

+--- If you have a question or two you'd like to ask regarding this video, send me a message and I'll answer a.s.a.p :D ---+

[KisaRinny]

So I guess you're like a professional sims builder/movie maker person ... I don't know what that kind of job title would be ... xD

[TheSimMan]

Who said it's a job? lol I dont have a job :D I just do this for leisure!

[Opalaisha]

Well said! :D I wish I had your talent. Great Job! 5/5

[gregjaeger16]

you should apply for making community lots on Sims hahaha

[TheSimMan]

LOL That'd be nice :D

[Audrey2251997]

what are the collections? Like Picka Fra, and the new start collection, someone respond please

[Programmer7]

They are themes for his houses and community lots. Like Picka Era is different styles throughout the years. Such as a 50's Diner.

[M4RCL3]

AWESOME!!!

[souless194]

A good idea could be putting like mini tv's in front of treadmills

[TheSimMan]

LOL That would be a good idea :-)

[sillysimfreak]

im am sooooooooo gunna download that ! it's awsome !

[TheSimMan]

Thanks SillySimFreak and everyone who has taken their time out to comment on my video :-) Love the feedback!

[camilleizhere]

WHOA!! wut is that across the street dude!!! but nice gym by the way

[danLDDLD]

nice, good job!!!!

10/10

[jaybyrd570]

lol, there's a restraunt in the same building there's a gym

[camlind12]

@jaybyrd570 And an elevator, lol

[purpulex]

So beautiful!

But is so fast..xD

Thanks

[robbie4233334]

awsome but i find when you biuld big lots it gets sort of boring.

[LilPimP0013]

What inspires you to build modern lots (mostly exterior) that don't overdo it? I really would like to know because I just made a new modern lot on the Sims 2 exchange and I could really use some new ideas for my next lots.

[ch8z95]

simply amazing :)

i can never find a good wallpaper to match my floor.. any tips? :)

[TheSimMan]

Thank you very much Ch8z95!

Tips? Hmm...Sometimes opposites attract. But then it depends on the style, room, theme, era etc. For a modern lounge room, why not use some pale white wash concrete walls and a fine light wood panelled floor? A deep blood red feature wall would look excellent too...

[Wavetalon]

Amazing! you should be an architecht. Also wats that building to the right of jims gym?

[TheSimMan]

Hey, thanks alot Wavetalon :-)

At 1:41 in the video, the lot to the right is the Masterism Hotel, a vacational lot for those who have The Sims 2 Bon Voyage...

[simplayaj]

looks real ♥

[PangTVproductions]

Man that's amazing!! are you improvising or what are you doing?

[TheSimMan]

Hey, thanks a heap PangTV! Improvising? Goodness no :-) Its Imagination meeting structure! Whatever I imagine, I build...

That, and I love Architecture. I love to build creations that take mass advantage of their given space, and with plenty of featuresque factors. Thats what makes them so attractive. Im head over heels ya like the video though! Thanks for commenting!

[etnies45672]

nice video wait even better the nice awsomnise dude can we see the other house you buuild

[moondancer779]

[hulmgulm]

[TheSimMan]

LOL

[sweetiecwt]

do you know why i can't see the reflection from my sims mirrors??? T_T

[TheSimMan]

Hey Sweetie :-) Check your graphic settings. You might have Mirror Reflection turned off! Turn it on for relfections to be visable...

[muzikmafia27]

Yeah just pick the tab with the three dots on it (the options tab) and find where it says graphic settings/options. Then find the reflection setting and toggle it on.

[RAWKiNxRAWKSTAR]

Whoa...

[TheSimMan]

Is that a good Whoa? Or a bad Whoa :-D lol

[RAWKiNxRAWKSTAR]

Lol, it's a good whoa. =]
