Comment: Not enough WP:SIGCOV coverage of James Turner himself. ScreenRant's list mention is a good start, but Fast Company's coverage is thin + mostly relies on his mail quotes, while the others are interviews/passing mentions/his own videos/site/channel.

Personal life edit
Turner was born in Sydney, Australia, and began playing The Sims when he was six, due to his love of Lego, and more generally of building, puzzles, and putting things together.[15][18] His first experience with video and content creation was producing music videos to popular songs, as well as programming.[15] He than began posting houses, or "builds" he made in The Sims 3 online, before creating his YouTube channel.[18]

I guess technically it's now called the Rosebud Challenge (named after the money cheat), but I'd bet most people still know this one as Rags To Riches. It was popularised by a bunch of Sims YouTubers doing let's plays, but probably the best example is this one by James Turner, who's one of my favourite speed builders.
