i had NO idea these features even existed in The Sims 4 

THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE ON THE WALLPAPER HENS me and my sister hand painted it to recreate the one from my kit hehe

The fact that you painted the wall the same as your sims kit is so iconic

The cowplant berry at the spice festival is in the bush in the far corner which is just labelled "bush" It appears there all seasons.

BABES THE WALLPAPER IS AN ABSOLUTE MOMENT AHHH I'm so proud of you xx

"This mouth is a revolving door of words" must be my all time favourite Plumbella quote, I've never had something describe me so accurately LOL

I love the new pie menu because for some reason I had NO IDEA the old one was sorted alphabetical and always took so long to find things

Ive been having SOOO much trouble with autonomy too! Sims either refuse to sleep in a bed, or they refuse to sleep entirely. Sims interacting with each other has also been rough. I thought it was because im on the 14th generation in my save, but its good to know im not alone in my struggle lol

This was so useful, can’t wait for part 2! But as someone who has been struggling with mental health issues for 20 years, the best part of this video was Jessie realizing that on the other side of her mental health struggles, it’s okay to be someone different. We’re never going to be who we once were because now we’re people having to balance our mental health, so we need to be happy with progress and not compare the new us to the old us. Congrats on that!! ❤

Your new office is adorable, love the ts4 inspired wall 🍓🍓🍓

You seem to be so much more relaxed, almost like somethings been lifted off of you, it has been really interesting seeing you push through mental illness, even if the path was/is very rocky

i’ve been here since you were in uni doing your masters and i’m so bloody proud of how far you’ve come! your new office is adorable and you killed that paint job, luv ya babes

Glad to see you back! the walls of your office are AMAZING

Love that you're back and that the house is coming along. The Pastel Pop walls are SUCH a success!

Autonomy has been weird in my game too (haven’t tested without mods) but my sims ignore everything I tell them and just do their own thing. I’ve had to micromanage everything since the infant update.

The cowplant bush is always available no matter the season when you visit during the Spice Festival. It's where I almost always get my cowplant seeds. It's in the top right corner of the top right planter. If you mouse over it, rather than telling you what it is, it just says "bush". (The other place is in Oasis Spring, fishing at the pool furthest back on the park lot.) I love your new wallpaper! TS4 Iconic!

I'm very new to your channel, and honestly the sims community (though I've played sims off and on since it's beginning) and you're honestly my favorite to watch. I love your take on new sims stuff and your humor is the best. So happy to see that you're back!

the sage green on the walls really bring out the green in your eyes ❤️ you would look amazing with sage green hair too!

Another thing many don't know that can ward off the monster under the bed is by putting in the room the kids' light with the hamster on it. Forgot the name. If it doesn't fit the décor, you can just shrink it down into a tiny night light and put it somewhere inconspicuous. Also, many aren't aware that Spellcasters can turn their cats or dogs into familiars.

THE OFFICE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE. I'm so happy for you in the new space! So exciting

i love the way plumbella expresses herself, from the way she speaks to her accent to the words she uses i totally love her she's an icon

Your office is so cute! Love that you memorialized your collab 🤩 Also hope everything with your family is okay 🖤

Realm of Magic is one of my favorite packs. I just love the aesthetic, how cheaty, but still fun spellcasters are, and the spell mods are just crazy good. .nwn. I don't know if it's just a mod I use, like the CAS unlocks mod, but if not, RoM has cross compatibility with Vampires, in that spellcasters can use vampire eyes. Also, you're rewarded for having a spellcaster legacy family with magical bloodlines that get stronger each generation, and these bloodlines give you more powerful spellcasters.

The new office looks amazing!

Love your fresh look - glad to have you back and with so many cool tips!! Can't wait for part 2. Meanwhile, all best householding wishes in the new digs. Don't you wish you could just click on the door and recolor it? :D

The wallpaper!!!! So so cute, congratulations on the doors & the move!

I am OBSESSED with the walls in your office!! It looks so cute I love it

The laser pointer trick actually only works with positive emotions as far as i know. Everything else is plain red. Happy is a fish, confident is a star, playful is a mouse, flirty is a heart. Those are.. the only ones i know off the top of my head.

Holy smokes the walls look amazing! I saw you paint them on TikTok and it’s so fun to see everything decorated!

I just learned that kids can ‘search for discarded toys’ in frog logs 😂 so cool

The wallpaper in your office is so cute 🍓

I’m so glad you’re back, but in like a I missed you type way and not a mean way because I understand completely the need for a break

Plumbella. I remember a previous video where you mentioned you had a pair of Doc Martens 1461 shoes that you loved but they haven’t broken in yet. Dr Martens sells a “wonder balsam” that helps them break in. Start massaging that stuff into the leather, along with normal polishing and they should start to break in properly. I have a pair of broken in 1460 boots and they are *the* comfiest shoes I own.

your room looks amazing!!

Yayyyyyy so happy to see you back! The room is phenomenal!

OH man when I saw your keyboard, the pangs of envy were too much. So pretty! I'm really happy for your success. As someone else with autism, I struggle a lot to be a functioning Adult Human, and I'll probably never own a house. I could be a crab in a bucket and try to pull you down, but damn, I'm just so happy you did it. Somebody should, and you're a good one.

I discovered the coach swimming thing yesterday when I took the sims on holiday to Sulani

I'm a console player and we have to cycle through full tile placement and half-tile to get to alt-placing, and I use the half-tile placing tool a lot with windows and doors! It's super handy and I'm surprised more people don't know about it!

Love it! Missed your content but glad you took a break and accomplished a lot! I also have a home that needs a lot of work so I very much relate to the mentality of "here's what I've done but here is my still long to do list". ❤❤ Also good tips! 😂

OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOUR WALLPAPER AND ITS SO COOL THAT ITS FROM THE KIT YOU WORKED ON!!! 🍓🌸🍓

The way that you described that anxiety of being like oh you’re not ready yet etc etc etc is why I’ve come back to content creating again after 5 years of that feeling. I’ve been proper struggling with it lately too so thank you for talking about it ❤

the power of henry came ok

that wallpaper is GORGEOUS

Absolutely love the new office, it looks great! Love your videos so much hen, hope you and your family are ok💜

I didn't know about the familiar helping with the monster under the bed. Also, didn't realize you can put the hamper next to the changing table, although I knew about cloth diapers. Makes sense. Another thing to add to the list: while placing wallpaper, holding shift will paint the whole room while holding option will paint only one wall.

Happy pride luvs 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Cuuutee ur wall are like the once u made in the sims Sooo cute!! 😊 happy to see u again btw 😊

ICONIC! I use the wallpaper in all of my builds! Im so happy you're back ❤

Paused on 0 seconds your walls look so amazing and fill me was so much serotonin you guys did such a great job!!!

So sorry to hear about your sister-in-law’s loss. Sending love and prayers her and her family’s way.

JESSSSSS THE BACKGROUND IS AMAAAZZIINNGGGG

Absolutely lost my mind at “EVERYBODY IS DYINN” hahahaha

you're in your house!! 🎉🌈 and the hair!! babe!!! what a great start to pride month 🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Just noticed last night that the needs bars each have a clickable button to have your sims fill that need. Works great for food, sleep, and using the toilet.

Omg another left-handed queen! I can't do anything with my right hand, so I have everything i can on custom keybind too.

At the spice festival you just have to harvest all and you harvest all of the plants there, and that includes one cowplant seed each time. There are spliced plants there I think or something. I just know I always get one when I go to the spice festival

I'm glad you're taking breaks for yourself as you need and best wishes to you and your family.

hahaha the intro made me realize how much i missed you

re-watching old vids, man your wall is so cute!!!

Always a good day when Plumbella uploads! Also, loving the office!

I love you and this video but im so distracted by your eye shadow and simply can't think about anything else until I find out what eye shadow it is I need it im obsessed, its a visceral need at this point

I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN 10 SECONDS INTO THE VIDEO AND JUST AHHHH!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING! I love the look, love the hair, love the office. Absolutely living for it. WELCOME BACK

Welcome back Plumbella, missed you! I think it's cute that you wallpapered your office with wallpaper like the one in your kit!

Ive been working spellcasters into my Not So Berry Challenge! It adds so much to it, especially when you have the more mischievous & or evil sims, using Mischief Magic is such a fun twist!!!

PLUMBELLA! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, LOCA?!

It's interesting to hear how you and your brother use a keyboard and mouse!! I'm left handed, but because no one else in my family is left handed I grew up doing a lot of right handed things, so I use a mouse with my right hand instead of my left!

dodie on the shelf!

I always have autonomy issues, it stops me from playing a bit then I get a craving pick up sims again and autonomy just frustrates me again. Having mods don't seem to make a difference either.

I LOVE seeing content like this from a seasoned simmer because so often I watch these and I'm like... yeah girl of course

the natural lighting looks so good!

Hello Hen! Missed you ❤ Congrats on the new house!

I'm so happy you came back, each time you upload you make my day a better day. Take all the time you need in your breaks, we will be waiting each time. Thanks Jesse

I had Grim as a roommate ages ago. He was great with the toddlers for sure! Better than any other regular ass parent Sims smdh.

Omg your wall treatment!! Living your best life I see

So glad to see you're back and that you seem to be doing so well! I absolutely adore the wallpaper

The swimming one I didn't know either. I just thought nannies could do it because the nanny in my house always seems to be coaching the kids in the pool. lol

The office looks so cute, love it! I had no idea about coaching swimming and the familiar for the monster under the bed. Both are things I will use. :)

Honestly that twistedmexi typable pie menu has been a lifesaver for me, good mention

I'm left handed too and use the mouse with my right hand. when I was learning to type at school this was just the way they were set up and changing it over to a left side was too much work for the teacher, lol. I can't use my left hand for scissors either - they didn't have leftie scissors when I was in nursery!

So glad to see you again!!!! You have been missed. I kept looking at your walls and thought how much it looked like the wallpaper from your Pastel kit!!! I love it. Some of those things I knew and some I didn’t. As for the cow plant seeds, I have gotten them at the spice festival and also occasionally when fishing. The time that I remember catching a cow plant seed fishing was a couple of times in Oasis Springs. And I caught one once in Sulani. Welcome back. You are so bubbly and you bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

When you do the disclaimer it’s a long intro I always get excited 😂❤

Your office is SOOOOO cute!!!

The hair and make up and office are just all giving me LIFE. You're glowing!

My bathroom was plaster for over a year… take your time, it won’t hurt the walls ❤

My game has been testing my patience lately too lol, I’ll tell a sim to go to bed or do homework etc, switch to a different sim and tell them to do something else, and half the time when I switch back to the first sim they either are just standing in place and not loading in the tasks to actually start, or they ignore the tasks I gave them and do something else entirely

I would PAY to watch a podcast made by you

I'm left-handed, but learned to use a mouse right-handed bc that was the only option at the time (even if it was possible to switch, I always shared a computer, & it was back when the mouse had a cord, so it was a pain to flip sides constantly). It's probably more to do with familiarity, I've been using the hot keys (that were available) since sims 2; they've stayed the same just been added to. I tend to leave my left hand either on wasd for camera control, or the number row on top, to be able to control time. I always use the home/end keys for the wall placement, so I don't have to Toggle through options. and page up/page down makes it a lot easier to play in multi-story houses with a large family. I used to just make a huge, sprawling 1-story house bc I hated not seeing the whole thing at once/knowing what everyone was up to on different floors.

first video ive watched of yours in a while and it was weirdly nice to not be jumpscared by sn*pe in the background

"The Grim Reaper is a fantastic roommate??" I laughed so hard. I remember trying to get the "Hello, Darkness, My Old Chum" trophy, so I had to keep him in the family for a while, and he would leave the most brutal, passive-aggressive notes around the house. Like, "I may not be the best roommate, but at least I'm not Whimsy." And who could forget, "Scientists say that washing yourself not only keeps you healthier but also can mean other people like you more! Just thought I'd share that fun science fact!!" Idk where this person got that idea that Grim is "SUCH a great roommate," lmao. 🤣

lol sims telling their partner is something I've know since i first started. Mind you I did a 100 baby challenge (well more of a varient where all the kids get dropped off at the baby mamas and i continue to live a child free life lol), and have seen it plenty. x3

The cowplant bush is always there, the one you hovered over just called "bush" Also another thing that may be useful, you can solve their basketball addiction by queueing another action after the one you want (eg: do a painting then sit on this chair)

This is the first vid of yours I’ve really watched (of course I’ve heard of the iconic Plumbella before! I just hate change and rewatch one RU-vidr at a time lol.) But I loved seeing your note saying how grateful you are to have the privilege to take a break. That’s a privilege I 100% believe everyone deserves, and you deserve it too, so I hope you never feel guilty for taking it. But I also appreciate hearing you recognize not everyone has it. ❤

glad to see you’re back jesse xx

BITH I MISSED YOU SO MUCH I WAS WORRYIN ABOUT YOU GOOD LORDDDD YOU LOOK AMAZIN

Your hair color makes your eye color pop. Glad to see ya back!!!

omfg how frikken adorable is your new office?? sorry to hear that you were locked inside before you got doors 😂 every simmer's nightmare honestly. fr though, proud of you for taking a break. even when it's stressful it can be important. take care of yourself babes💕

When you said "that is me personified" I thought you said "that is me, piss on a fire"! And for a moment I didn't even question it, because it sounds like something that you would say. 😂

I know about the cowplant seed at the festival (it's on a spliced plant), but if I don't want to wait, I just fish one up!

I get so many of cowplants during fishing... literally anywhere. when I try to finish that fishing aspiration. and I just assumed it s a pretty common thing hahahah

Welcome back me darling! We've missed you so much hen. So glad that you are moving forward with your house. I'm loving your Pastel Pop office, it suits you very much. Thanks for sharing these little tidbits. I did not know a lot of them actually. 😊

oooo would love to see more of the house/other life tid-bits on the varietins channel bc i loooove hanging out with you in a youtube-is-my-favorite-way-to-socialize kinda way. anyways welcome back hen!!!!! new office looks adorable!!!!! 🍓♥
