youre very sweet and considerate to worry about using dlc content, but even if its just a bin (what you're talking about in the video!) you should feel free to use it without guilt, you paid for it and should get your moneys worth! otherwise you'll never use it! its an easy switch out in any case if people don't have it and download the build :)
I will say while this house is southern gothic, Nebraska is not considered the south lol. I am from Mississippi so I can 100% say you nailed the aesthetic! Keep up the good work🤍
@@aluhhsim lemme just say even you do end up researching american geography. just know some states youll never get right regardless of what you call it. (from a southerner/midwesterner cuz no one can agree on where it is) Basically most people see the area from Texas to the east coast as the south. And then all the super southern coastal states are the true deep south
@@eminempreg only a tiny fraction of Texas is considered southern from my east coast perspective. Other parts are considered the Southwest. I feel like Tx kinda has its own identity. More of a transition state than anything. Even the people don’t call themselves Southerners. They say they’re Texan and that Texas is Texas. 😂
strangerville def gives more like nevada and arizona not southern at all but love the build it’s great😭 this would eat in glimmerbrook maybe bcs glimmerbrook kinda gives appalachia and this house would fit in perfectlyyyy
Magnolia Promenade (i think thats the name watch me be so wrong) seems a bit southern to me. Like a very sanitized Lousiana. Mainly with the architecture.
@@eminempreg yesss i agree magnolia promenade is more like gulf coast south. i just think this build is more appalachia south 🤔 i’m from georgia but my family is from kentucky and this gives north ga + kentucky to me,, like a little gothic home in the mountains and hills. kinda mystical and creepy
I live in the Mojave (SoCA, NV and AZ are the Mojave) and there is more grass in Strangerville than here. In most places grass is even banned due to water restrictions..
love this!! if you wanted some extra color & culture on the outside you could totally do the porch ceiling a dull blue, we call it haint blue in the deep south and it's meant to ward off spirits from coming inside our homes
This is making me so nostalgic, reminds me of the older homes I can find in abundance here in the Midwest, and have lived in growing up. I know that there ain’t a single LED lightbulb in that house. Wish sims had a feature to make floors uneven, it’d be more accurate to life… but the fact that just by watching the exterior be built I can already hear the creaking floorboards and smell something mildewy in the mud room is a testament to how much care has been put into this build. It’s inspiring me a great deal to build a house like the ones I grew up in, even though I’ve never successfully played the sims before 😂
Your voice sounds so ASMR-y. It's really nice to listen to in the background while doing work! Also love how the build went. I've never heard of Southern Gothic aesthetic but it's slowly starting to become a fave of mine thanks to you!!
I js wanted to say that I have intense nighttime anxiety and your videos help me soo much 😭 even if I’m asleep for half of the video, your voice and your builds are just so calming!!
omg, this is my first time watching a real time sims4 build video and i cant believe the work you put just for the exterior&landscaping. now i know why i suck at landscaping lmao. i love the vibes btw
i looove southern gothic. it feels both nostalgic and comfy and also distressing and uncomfy at the same time. also love the vibes of your other builds too!! grungey and run down but still cozy and lived in
Fans are not not common on porches in the US southwest, unless they are just there for aesthetics. We have 3 inside our house. The porch fans would literally only be blowing the 112F air around, like a convection oven. Once you hit 90F the "wind in your face" becomes a blow drier, and helicopters cannot fly because the air is not dense enough due to the low humidity. A German tourist on a motorcycle passed away in DeathValley CA (112F that morning and below sea level) back in August, and his friend had to be transported all the way to LasVegas NV (3-4 hours) due to heat stroke. That took the US park service rangers to ice the friend down (in a body bag to cool him off) then the Inyo County volunteer rescue service ambulance to transport him 2-ish hours across the NV border to the closest hospital (higher elevation, so only 89F that morning), in Nye County NV. The rangers had already called a military helicopter from Nellis AFB in LasVegas (also 89F) which is in Clark County NV, to meet the patient at the small hospital in Nye county. That Nye county hospital has a helipad on the roof, so they stabilized him there, and then the military rescue flew (another hour) him to a bigger hospital in LasVegas. Very few people in the desert hang out on thier porch in a rocking chair in the heat, which is most of the year. So it took the US park service, the US military, two states CA, NV, two hospitals (both in NV) and three counties (Inyo CA, Nye and Clark NV) to rescue one heat stroke patient in the bleeding heat. Rescuers out here in the Mojave (and the other deserts in the US) are very dedicated.
I LOVE. THIS. BUILD. I don’t mind watching speed builds, but I enjoy watching these types of builds more so. I love hearing the creative process of the builder, and you get that on speed builds, but it’s so fast, I don’t feel like I have time to enjoy it. Please keep making these types of builds!! They’re great! 😁👍🏻
I get so excited when I open RU-vid before bed and your video is ready to go on my home page💕 I looove the long plays so much, you’ve inspired me to improve my building too! This was such a good build I love Ethel!
1. ceiling fans on porches in america are only common if u live in a gated communitiy or some shit lol 2. if ur basing "southern gothic" on the region of america called the south, there would not be cacti outside the house. at least, not naturally i love the build
Laminate flooring isn't always fake. Sometimes it is just a very thin layer of real wood that is glued (hence the term "laminate or veneer") to the subfloor, since real wood planks is really expensive. We use the term laminate more often in the US.
My autoplay brought me here half asleep and barely conscious of what was in my ears... It took me a solid minute to figure out you were doing a realtime sims build based off audio alone, but what caught my ear originally was your voice. It is sooo soothing. Listening to you describe your building process and deciding between what you wanted to do was the perfect de-stresser post 11-hour shift. Thank you so much for this video!! You've got a new subscriber in me. 💓
New subscriber. And a newbie to sims. I really liked your quality of build and detail. You’re super efficient and I can tell you’re confident in your abilities and the gameplay. Glad to be here, and your voice is so soothing 💚🙃
This was such a cozy and relaxing video. I've been playing the sims for a few years now but still don't know how to build so hopefully this video helps.
I just found your channel and fell asleep to this video last night bc your voice is so calming!! I had to come back today to finish watching because I loved this build. Very accurate to southern country homes. It reminded me of my extended family. Amazing job!!
Love the long plays! Can you add shots of the finished rooms or just a quick walk through at the end! It’s so cool and you put so much work into it, I want to admire it altogether!
Love another long build!! If you're looking for decorative roof trims, For Rent has a couple really pretty ones. Idk if they'd necessarily fit this build, but maybe check them out? Adore the vibes of the home!
I LOVE the concept of Strangeville, and even building there but we need more lots 😭😭I love filling my worlds with multi-functional lots and making detailed builds and adding tons of stuff to my worlds but some worlds don't have enough lots to do so
Omg your videos are so therapeutic, I watched the entire video and I didn't ever realise how 3 hours passed 😅 you're amazing keep up these beautiful videos🌻
the paper wood sheets are veneer! veneers are a dental thing aswell but its the same idea, essentially just putting something (despite not being the authentic) over another to make it "prettier" :D
Many houses in the southwestern US are either manufactured houses (rectangles) or mission style, brick is really rare out here. The mission style are usually lighter colored with terra cotta colored roofs etc. Manufactured can be any color. There is one up the road that is olive/military green, and the one next to it is black. Another one farther off is bright pink, but most are actually lighter in color because of the heat. Dark colored houses usually become ovens (absorb heat) and are harder on the AC units, lighter colored houses (reflect heat) are easier.
I'm at the part where you're looking for a word for faux wood paneling. Google says veneer or laminate but now I really want to know the word you were looking for!
Came across this one on my home page. You have done such a great job conveying the Southern Gothic look, even though I have never heard of Ethel Cain. It was interesting to see your thought process throughout the build, you had such good attention to detail. Hope you have a good week. 🙂
rlly loving this !!!! The vibe is soososo cool. By placing this build in strangerville specifically I think you've almost created (and this is such a specific Look/feel that probably only pertains to me) an almost Eastern Washington Gothic feel? I've spent a lot of time in houses like This in Eastern Washington and i really dig it. Unintentional but it really really works for me I'm a big fan ^_^ 🧡
Chimneys aren't common in the desert, it is too dry (fire hazard) and it is way too hot from late March to late October to even justify having one. I think Strangerville is supposed to be NewMexico inspired, and that is the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts.
I'm sorry but was no one gonna tell me the shift comand with the one side of the roof?? loved the build, got momentarily taken out when you did that- been playing for Years & I'm still learning how to play
