Building a MAINE HOUSE Using GOOGLE EARTH | The Sims 4 

My husband and I went to Maine last week. I keep telling him how much all of those homes remind me of Brindleton Bay in the sims. 😂

As a born and raised, lifelong New Englander, Maine is one of my favorite places ever. This brought me so much JOY. And so funny because a lot of houses in New England have got fake shutters, mine included 😂

I live in the US and I don't get the whole flag thing either lol. I love how the house turned out. Very beautiful.

Imagine how amazing it would feel to see that your home has been recreated in The Sims? Especially this beautifully!

I'm from Maine, and the moment you loaded in I got hit with nostalgia. No longer live in the state but I do miss the scenery and homes. It's so nice to see you do something from my home state!

Love this build Aden!! I just got back from a trip to New Orleans and I'm dyinggg to build some of those houses in Willow Creek. The architecture is incredible! Hope to see you do something NOLA inspired soon 🥰

You should look at Charleston - they have two really unique architecture styles called ‘The Charleston Single’ and ‘The Charleston Double’ - they are absolutely gorgeous!

That's my area! I've been by that house 😂

Great build. I would love to see a PNW home They have a lot of beautiful craftsman homes with a lot of nature incorporated in the design. ❤

Maine is a be-a-utiful place to start; such a gorgeous state! Also, You are completely right that the extreme Patriotism in the US can be off putting. I don’t get it either but, ya know…😂…anywho, beautiful build, darling! Love, an American

Oh please make this a series🙌🏾 I hope we can do a build for every state❤️, You could also even search decor and interior design for that state

LOVE the build! Typical Maine home. I vacation a lot in Maine and can see this house there. Few notes about homes in the Northeast. Cellars are typical because it was where you would store most of your root vegetables and canned goods to last you through out the winter. Northeastern homes have a lot of garages (mostly detached) because the vast amount of snow we get during those cold wintery months. Stair cases are typically not open below, because most often that is where the stairs to the cellar/basement would be located, a feature I wish we could do in The Sims4. Downstairs bathroom is adorable, and very standard half-bath. One note, you would want to flip the toilet/commode and the sink, because who wants to look at the toilet/commode when you open a door? Absolutely love your builds. I look forwards to your and many other content creators on RU-vid that make things for TheSims

ive been dying to see you build in the spanish colonial revival style in san jose, california for YEARS. there are so many adorable homes that i know you would love!

Aden, you never fail to make my day. The things that come out of your mouth sometimes, such filth but I LOVE that you aren't afraid to be yourself. Thanks for giving me a chuckle every time you say something "naughty" or raise those eyebrows lol. Love your sense of humor.

So funny thing about the shutters is im from the south and I've never in my 40 years of life have seen real shutters. They are all fake and all houses have them 😅. Love this build. It's beautiful

I grew up in New England but sometimes forget how unreasonably picturesque the houses are. I was recently in Cape Cod with my sister-in-law, who is from the UK, and she kept marveling at how much everything looked "just like Gilmore Girls" 😂

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw Maine. I live in Massachusetts and travel to Maine regularly. You NAILED IT! I've driven on that road numerous times!

You gotta do Chicago! We have our own version of Brownstones called Greystones and they're gorgeous!!!

The exterior gives me Father of the Bride house vibes 😍

As an American living in a hurricane prone area, we have storm shutters but they are kept in the garage and we only put them on the house once we know it’s necessary. I agree that fake shutters are weird and don’t really see the point in them but they do add pretty visual interest to a house.

Beautiful!!!!! You have to build a house in from the town Saddle River, New Jersey. That’s where a some of the battles of the American revolution took place. With a lot of history ofc there are a lot of historical mansions and cottages and some new homes too. Every single home is just a dream.

Love the breezy coastal vibes of this beautiful build. For another US build, Oregon and Washington state have some absolutely gorgeous mid century homes surrounded by lush forest that i think you’d be absolutely fkng for.

harrie's colletion looking amazing

Fake shutters are indeed very strange and very common! My husband is a carpenter of ten years, and he hates them! Sometimes, there will be real wood blinds/shutters inside of the home in lieu of working outdoor shutters. I assume it's just less expensive this way, not worrying about the outdoor weather.

"And Minge is your really weird auntie" took me TF out 😂🤣😂🤣 Gorge build as always!

I really love to watch you decorate, it inspires me to redo my house, now if only redecorating was as easy in real life as it is in the Sims.

I suspect the Google Earth shots were taken some time around 4th of July which would explain all the flags. I love this series. You should consider looking at historic New Orleans.

This makes me think of the time I went to Nantucket during the off season. There is a walking trail called the Bluff Walk that is along the bluff and behind people's houses/gardens. It's a lovely walk but it was so weird seeing so many of the houses boarded up for the coming winter. It was easy to tell which one's were summer residences and which ones people lived in year around.

Being raised in New England this house build was very nostalgic! And the shutters on the windows are usually fake. I don't know why they are but in my mind growing up I always assumed shutters were purely decorative. The fact there's a practical use for real ones tickled me funny for some reason.

Love that you put trucks in the driveway 😂

this is so cool! I am from Maine and I love to see it represented as sometimes we get forgotten all the way up in the top corner lol and all of your builds are so beautiful!

Big slay, wanted to have a little cry when you were saying about how happy you are to come back to work that's amazing. Not many people can say that!

I live in a house with a similar style! Built in the 80s I think. It has faux exterior black shutters but then there's functional interior white shutters to cut down on the heat. I don't get it but I do love the look of them lol. Loved this build and love this series!

Love this series! If you ever make it to Australia, be sure to check out St Kilda, St Kilda West, Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, some gawjus Italianate homes.

This is so awesome to watch as a fellow New Englander, who spends most of the summers in Maine, loved this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Would love to see you take on a New Orleans style home with the bright colors and wrought iron!!

ahh i love hamptons style houses, i also did a build doing a house off the coast of new hampshire! i really hope you plan to do a desert home, such as the ones in arizona and new mexico, i think those houses are gorgeous!

Love when you build with custom content I get to see your true building potential.

Oh, I just want you to build a typical urban Brazilian house SO MUCH!! Most of the urban residences on Brazil have big walls all around the building, for safety purposes, this is normal here, which sometimes is a lot different from other countries' building styles! I would love if you consider make a video building a house from my country 🥰 I LOVE your videos and your personality, they're super enjoyable and fun to watch everytime, perfect for resting time and your buildings are so cozy and beautiful! Thank you for those amazing moments I already had while I was watching your videos ❤😊

When 9/11 happened I was in Missouri and then flags popped up EVERYWHERE! I remember random stores that wouldn't normally sell American flags advertise that they had them. They were ubiquitous after that day and haven't left us since.

I saw some flag bunting on one of the houses, which typically pops up around the 4th of July. Flags are everywhere around the 4th, so I wonder if these google earth images were taken around the 4th of July!

I think a really cool google earth build would be either the Mission Point Lighthouse or Grand Traverse Lighthouse in Traverse City, Michigan. I believe they're both set up as museums now, but using one as inspiration for a lighthouse/residential home build would be really interesting!

Born and brought up in western Maine, married and raised my kids here as well, my husband and I have always had a flag, mostly because he is a vet, love your build

Omg I grew up in Maine and I feel like I've definitely driven by this house lmao. I always liked the new england architecture!

how lovely!! i can practically hear the water 🥹 this build turned out so beautiful, i can’t until the next one!!

The funniest thing about the fake shutters is that when a storm hits they're frequently the thing to take damage, and then require repair. It makes me laugh to think a thing so non-functional should be worthy of repair. My mom had them, and she really had great taste, but there's a line it crosses when they're high-maintenance and zero function. My mantra is function before beauty, but both whenever you can get 'em.

Loved the comment about grilling the one time of year in the uk. Norwegian woman here, same Aiden, same😅😃🎉

Amazing build -as always ! Everytime you say ‘Bob’s your uncle I lol because Bob is my uncle -but Fanny isn’t my aunt -or Minge come to think of it 😂Your banter is just sooo entertaining 😄

I’d love to see you do a cali build! Or even a Texas ranch!

Norwich, CT, USA. It has an historic/arts district and many beautiful buildings. In the summer there's a huge, lit-up rose. At Christmastime, there are lights and flowers and the official tree lighting in front of city hall.

Hi. I love watching your Simabilities. Building is my favourite to watch. I have two build challenges to show you. Corners, Corners, and More Corners Challenge: For every corner, you earn X amount of dollars. The Cursive Challenge: Your first name as the 1st floor, middle for second, and last is 3rd...in cursive. Left align. Make rooms by creating a wall/door, etc., where the letters would naturally begin and end. Hopefully you'll like at least one idea. I would be tickled if you chose Cursive. :DDD

I would absolutley love to see you build the "jelly bean" row houses from where I live in Newfoundland, Canada :) We were originally a colony of Great Britain established in 1610 and only joined Canada in 1949. I really think you'd enjoy exploring the uniqueness of my beautiful home on google earth and hopefully be inspired to be the first to build something like it in the sims

29:56 omg the big wicker chair looks like a chair my grandma used to have, I have a picture of me sitting in it when I was little…didn’t help that I was already tiny for my age lol 😂 😂😂

I would absolutely love it if you could build the Cullen's house from Twilight while roasting the saga!! The mansion is so modern and SO YOU to that extent...

Thank you and very well done for this beautiful build, Aden! I loved every minute! Xx

What a gorgeous interior! To die for.

I would love to see you recreate homes from tv shows! Something like Full House or other iconic tv show homes!

I don't even play Sims anymore, it hasn't been installed on my PC for ages but I do still watch you religiously, Aden. Such a lovely soothing voice, great sense of humour and an awesome building style. Your uploads make my day ♥

Love this build Aden....I have visited Maine several times what amazing scenery and homes.

Love this build and you chatting away to everyone and just going to flop this in and flop that there love it am not very good at building but you inspire me to give it a go

gorgeous home Aden i love it!

You’re such an amazing builder! I love watching your videos. They always brighten up my day. ☀️❤

Stunning! Favourite one yet

I was born in Maine and was happy to see this!

I love this build Aden! I would so live there... I can almost smell the ocean queef 💙

Just got done with therapy! Now I’m ready to relax and watch you build ❤️ amazing like always!

YAYY!! i have been so anxiously waiting for this video, keep up your amazing work 🫶🏻

Absolutely love this build!!! 😍😍😍

I am so excited for this!!!!!

Aden, I’m American and I don’t understand the flag thing either. It’s so weird.

I would love to see you attempt a split-level house! They are very common in many parts of the US and a challenge in Sims.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho has some really beautiful homes and a gorgeous countryside. You did a wonderful job, as always!

My partner and I just got a house in a very regular suburban area and yes, almost every single house has a flag. I'm not American but moved to the Midwest and notice all the cultural differences. As soon as we got the house keys, he removed the national flag and put up a big LGBTQ+ flag instead. I thought you would be pleased. Also, regarding shutters: yep, all the houses in our neighborhood have fake shutters. Including our house. It's just a very common decorative piece around here. Helps break out a bit the brick texture, I guess. Adds detail.

Love this longer video! ❤🎉

omg! my gran is from maine & her family remained there so i spent 2 weeks of every summer of my childhood & adolescence in maine for our family gatherings. Maine is absolutely beautiful, stunning, this build absolutely did maine’s homes justice. the nostalgia im getting rn😭

I’m fine with “big” things myself too 😏. . . I just live for your content 😂 you are absolutely amazing ❤

Well done. Looks just like it!

Its gorgeous Aden x

This build is giving Sims 3 vibes

this smells like summer i love it

Lovely house absolutely gorgeous 🥰

I live in Maine! Flags creep me out, but they are definitely prevalent.

This is really beautiful! ❤️

lol, i'm an american, (mixed half korean and black), i think we tend to have a lot of flags because not everyone here are actually ethnically americans. in fact, none are, except for native americans or indigenous people. so we tend to represent our family heritage with flags, and for those who want to be patriotic to a fault, they like to fly the american flag outside their homes to show solidarity, as we are all from different ethnic backgrounds but are united by our Americanness. at least, that's what it should be. hope that gives a little insight as to why we have so many flags all over the place.

Love this style of house

Very nice and gorgious main house. Good job and have a nice day ;-)

I’m originally from New England so this feels like home, I think the shutters thing began when suburban neighborhoods in the 1950s began, shutters reminded people of their ideal chocolate box home, even if they weren’t necessary. Developers started using the fake shutters to play on buyers heartstrings. And we have never been free since

I would love to see your interpretation of a home in the PNW. Oregon/Washington state area, we have a lot of greenery due to the rain... Love all your videos and build alike. 😍

Idk if it’s an American thing or if it honestly depends where you are, but as a New Yorker we have shutters that only serve one purpose: decor

I just love you Aden, you make my day 😘❤❤❤ who doesn't like BIG things 😊😊😉😏😏😏

flags are for the aesthetic. my old house looks so fricking cute with a little flag out front. now if it's a blue stripe flag or a trump flag that's an absolute no no, but usually if it is on a cute well maintained house it's just for the vibes. also Maine supremacy !! my favorite state.

Omg I would LOVE you to build an American castle house- kind of like the castle chip and Joanna gains did on their tv show recently!!!

Would love if you could do Maryland!! That's my home state and I think the homes downtown Baltimore and in Annapolis are gorgeous. Another amazing water state ❤️🖤💛

Lovely as always, my dear

Lovely build ❤️

Ooo maybe you could take a look at Key West Florida for some inspiration!

Two suggestions for US-inspired builds: adobe houses in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a converted water tower in Mendocino, California.

Love your build as usual Aden but I noticed something that surprised me... I haven't seen you use corbels or drain pipes of late. But anywho, love the neutral asthetic of the build ❤

If you ever do Georgia (the US state) please don't do a plantation home, do a downtown Atlanta industrial reno! We have a lot of plantation homes here that host events like weddings etc. because they're on beautiful open land, but have a horrifically dark history to them. Meanwhile Atlanta is a thriving artsy mid-to-downtown mecca with cafes, restaurants, bars, and every kind of art studio you can imagine (music recording, theatre clubs, etc) carved out of old factory buildings and warehouses. You can't throw a rock in any direction without hitting a brewery, either.

I love this idea so much! Could you build a house in Cape Town, South Africa pretty please?
