Off The Grid Farmstead | The Sims 4 Speed Build 

Ello my darlings! I had to cut the voiceover short in this video (for the first time EVER) as the heat of my office got to me 💀 I've said that another video is coming today, but it'll probably be tomorrow instead as I'm a MOIST mess.... Let's hope this heatwave goes away so I can record normally again 😭 Adore you all!

If you run into that problem with the trees again Aden, just turn on "testingcheats enabled" then shift click on the tree. You can change the growth state that way

If ever you're stuck for ideas, it's be really sick if you made Calypso's house/swamp shack from Pirates of the Caribbean

Aden talking about the weather Aden: I’m not gonna do it I was just thinking about it Also Aden: I did it 😂

What's this? A Devon bumpkin video at 2 in the afternoon?! Don't mind if I do!!! 😂

I love this speedbuild!! Maybe you could make as your next speedbuild the “Call me By your Name” house so we can enjoy the summer is The sims as well 😅😂 I think it would be lovely with your favs CC

We've got a thunderstorm going on here in Essex and it's such a relief! Before that it was just too clammy 😣

Eco Living (Oop, I mean Lifestyle) will go so well with Cottage Living. I can't wait!

it's hard being a goth in summer lol btw I believe that the trees you liked are from get together, the big ones btw you can shift click on your plants and set what state of growing you want them to be, so you didn't have to wait for them to grow, I believe it's in the game and it's not a mod

Can’t wait to leave my office job. Stuck working from home and can barely leave the computer for 7 hours. Got the curtains closed to keep the sun out! Build absolutely stunning, I can picture myself living in the house, maybe less work to do in the garden ;)

Remember to stay safe and hydrated in the sun everyone

For the people who say: "Haha 32 degrees is nothing" I will say this: As a person who lives in a country that has heatwaves EVERY year, there's nothing funny about the heat, especially for countries that aren't used to it. Plenty of fluids, light dinners (salads etc.) and be careful. Heat is nice and all but it can be dangerous.

I live in the tropics and I'm not into 37'C either. I keep daydreaming about moving to Scotland as overcast skies and rain cheer me up immensely!

I really need a more modern off the grid build like this one that incorporates the cottage living gameplay!! This build is amazing. The vibes and gameplay are perfect. And thank you for play testing!!!

5:35 omg I am obsessed with earthships 🤩

I absolutely love your videos and voiceovers. It really feels like we're having a little chat. But I'm having a rough day. And honestly, watching you build with that lovely music playing was just what I needed today. It seems so silly, but it made me have a little cry and completely soothed my soul.

The weather is so crazy everywhere this year! Canada just had a huge heat wave also, soooooo hot! Stay cool darling! ❤️

Here in South Africa it's winter, but when it's summer, 36°C is a normal day(a hot but normal day) it can get up to 40°C in some places. But now, in winter it's like 1°C and I'm shivering my bum off.

Dear Aden, living here in Florida, we are Central heat and Air people. It's a must have. I wish I could tell you it will get better, but, as you said when you were fed up with the heat,, "pffft" It's a beautiful build Aden, you're just projecting the way you feel. A thing we do here is wrap a small towel, a hand towel we call it. Put some crushed ice if you have it, wrap the towel lengthwise, wrap it around your neck... you may already know this but it helps. Doesn't matter having AC when it's this hot. We have usually had severe thunderstorms because of the sea and the Gulf of Mexico. But, they're getting more frequent and more dangerous. Now they add downbursts to it.. sheeting rain 🌧 with winds up to 60mph.. sorry don't know the metric system or the way you judge heat, celsius.. I just know the earths climate is changing faster than we ever thought. I do go on,,, sorry my friend, but the fires out west are proof, after 113* where my husband worked for 3 weeks, now he is back and the fires are closer. He will be driving from California to North Carolina again. The leaders have to put their heads together instead of up their Arses and at least try to make it safe for future generations. 🌎

Hi! Just want to say I really enjoy your builds and commentary. I live in the USA in SE Texas. When it is 37°C here, the weather apps clarify with the temperature it really feels. It is usually 3 to 6 degrees hotter. If you ever visit Texas, come in the Autumn or Winter; you'd hate the Summer heat.

take a shot every time Aden says the weather has been too hot if you wanna get lit 😂

I am MELTING, darlings. Im in a tiny london flat that is about the heat of a thousand suns rn. The fact that you managed to get anything up is a miracle! My tech is overheating just by looking at it too hard

Hope the heatwave won't continue for much longer... Please stay hydrated and safe!! I'm soo glad that the update came out today, cause I got to add the water from the pond-tool to my Hogwarts built and I absolutely love the way it looks, just the bug with BetterBuilt is a bit annoying, but they'll probably update that soon.

What a hell of a weekend! It has been way too hot! I like it warm but this is unbearable! I want a goods nights sleep 😭😂. Missed you yesterday and I hope your office gets cooler later than his week! Hope everyone in the uk is doing well and not staying in the sun too long!

You shouldn't feel bad complaining about this awful weather - Poland has been insane lately 🙀 Crazy heat and a few hours later ridiculous amount of rain turning my garden into a pound within MINUTES 😭 I completely understand you don't feel like boiling in your office. So good you have your awesome laptop at least 💚 I looove your creativity with builds!!! You're awesome! 💚

I absolutely love your builds! As an architecture student, your work is truly inspiring and helpful for when I need fresh ideas :D so glad I came across your channel, much love

Ahhh this is so nostalgic, I discovered your channel with the series of eco/farm builds you did in Strangerville a couple years ago! This reminds me a lot of them, so fun to see you revisit this style of build, this looks incredible 😍😘

Aden, darling. Don’t you know you can shift click on a crop and change their state? You can change their growth state, how blossoming they are and whether they’re ready to be evolved 😊

While I love hearing you chat Aden, sometimes I enjoy a speed build with just music. It’s quite relaxing :)

18:55 i absolutely aggressively stan a Celine Dion song break!

youre so good at using the terrain tool! i can't even make a simple hill without it looking wonky XD also not sure if youd be up for it, but i think an asian rural traditional home (reminiscent of li ziqi's home/garden) would be a fun off the grid build :)

Love this. Your landscaping is always so amazing - love how the different areas just flow together. 30º in Poole right now - loving it! It's 'only' 24º in Debrecen so we're doing the being in the UK not Hungary thing right for a change! Normally it rains non stop when we're here and we miss the heatwave going on in Hungary! We'll probably get back there next week just in time for thunderstorms!!

Here in Alberta Canada we’ve had 3 severe heat wave warnings in the month of July, each lasting several days. Central air isn’t a thing here except in very high end homes and office buildings, suffice to say, I feel your pain. 🥵 ☀️

Your videos give me so much comfort. 💜

I'm in wales and i hate this weather my poor dog love him its too warm for him.

I bought a paddling pool over the weekend cuz I was fed up with the heat. Best Lidl purchase ever 😂

I Knew you were an artist, but at this level... I am so beyond impressed!

After a long, rough day of work, I am blessed with a sweet video❤ and even of a house I would loove to live in. Beautiful as always Aden! I hope the heat let's up soon. p.s. someone probably commented but you can give your sim bits and pieces with cheats on by shift+clicking on them.( i think its within another category)

Such a great build! This immediately inspired me to hop into game and create a family to live on an off the grid lot! 😍😁

OMG, I love earthships! Thank you for bringing them to the attention of all the lovely people who watch your videos! 🥰

American here from the mid west and I just looked up the average summer weather for you guys over there and I’m just like that’s a normal Fall/Autumn day for us here lol. But I see y’all are pushing what is 90 degrees over here & I couldn’t imagine it without air conditioning. Wishing that heat wave is over soon for you 🤍🤍

Yes that’s hot. We were at 44 degrees Celsius here during our hot streak in Kent Washington USA. 112 Fahrenheit. Anything above 80 is warm for me so 98 degrees at your place is just cooking. Love you made the video for us during this heatwave. We got warnings too during ours. It’s all over the world. We put in AC a few years ago and love it! Also I started playing Bioshock a bit after you did on your steam. I hope you keep playing it without streaming I think you would really enjoy it if you are not so distracted. I usually can only watch your streams after you were done so I was yelling at my screen wanting to help you lol. One thing you can do in the game is using your mind control to pull things to you to keep so if you cant reach it you can use your mind control to get it. After playing for awhile I feel it is really important to search everything and everywhere so not to miss a lot that can help you. Love watching your streams and wish i could participate but oh well. Thanks for all you do. Love it all!

I was watching a dev explaining the pond tool and apparently if you put the pond at the right depth they will swim and wade out into the water like the ocean in Sulani and the lake in Mt. Komorebi. There is a depth view mode to help with getting the right level. I saw him testing/showing it on DB's farm house in the new world!

I love his accent! 😍 His region of England has a great dialect! 😊 💞

The terrain work! Oooooh my.... Perfection! I still can't do the terrain for sh*t. Your builds always look so homey and inviting. I so missed watching your streams and videos, but frankly... The whole debacle Sims turned into with Journey to w/e it is and how things were going with the game, I wanted nothing to do with it for a while and couldn't even watch anything to do with the game. It was heartbreaking. It seems things are turning around for Sims 4 and I've slowly been coming back to it. I've played it 3 or 4 times now, where I didn't touch the game for about a year. Here's hoping the positive changes continue. ~Crosses her fingers~

I’m from the south west and can’t wait for the weather to break! It’s been too hot and I’m fed up of it now 😩

i would listen to you talk about the weather for years

oh yeah, to make candles i just get bits and pieces from the recycler (i only ever recycle trash piles which are plentiful because the wind turbine on my lot breaks often), since it's easier and more effective than the dumpster. I also use the beeswax but don't dye anything. I think you can only purchase dyes from the fabricator, which is enormous, so if you wanted to easily make colorful candles you'd need at least 3 different items.

I'm melting down here in Cornwall! We don't even have our usual sea breeze 🌞

Happy Tuesday, Aden Darling! Hope you can manage to cool off in this heat. ♥

this has absolutely nothing to do with the video but I just thought of something and that's so exciting I just have to write it here. P E T S and cottage living. Are doggos going to help guarding the foxes away? Oh boy? 😻

Amazing build! Love that little spot for the solar panels. We’ve been having 40C at day and 28 at night for a month, now we finally had a few only 20C nights so the house cooled down thankfully.

Thank you for battling the heat for us Sir Bumpkin of Devon (it looks AMAZING)

These are the types of builds that got me started watching your channel a year ago

I love your design so muchhh!!!!!! Thank you for doing it. Its so wonderful eco farm 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Love this build as I always do. Don't worry about us if you can't get a video up, just take care of yourself and of course Tom and Blue. Hope the weather cools down for us all lol xx

1. I would listen to you repeat the same story over and over regardless of the topic, so it's fine you couldn't stop going on about the weather. 2. I live in Southern California - 37 C is about 98-99 F here, and that is hot as tits. I'd be a melted pile of goo trying to get anything done. FORTUNATELY it's very common, almost standard I'd say, to have central A/C in apartments and houses. So y'all are truly feeling the effects of such hot weather and I'd be moaning on and on about it too!!!

Fantastic build ... bless ya in this this weather am dieing up north too 😍

Yay! I was waiting for your uploads!

✨the landscaping✨

I love the build ❤️❤️ stay safe in the heat

I'm Costa Rican (for reference) and 37°C is so freaking hot omg!!! Specially without any AC. Please take care of yourself, we love your content but your well-being comes first! Sending hugs

gorgeous build i've never tried to build skylight type things i will have to try it. totally cant stand the heat in my computer room either but i'm burnt and peeling with being outside my freckles/fair skin and ginger hair don't mix with summer feel like Vlad when he goes out in sunshine lol :0(

I absolutely adore this, thank you so much for braving the heat to get it out today. Much love to you and yours.

Gorgeous details and lush landscaping.

I love your creativity ! This build is a great mix between farm and modern... I have to say... I use to dislike modern build haha but I really love this one ! 🥰🥰🥰

I understand summer heat, darling....Chicago can get brutal in the summer and that's exactly what's happening right now! Pretty much the same temp here as out there BUT we do have AC here. But I get why you don't have AC, a nearly 200 year old home just might not be AC ready! Anyway, stay cool...take some cool showers/baths, get a blow up pool and enjoy the heat! Oh and wake me in the fucking fall 'cos I loathe summer and sunshine and all that shit. lol

You never stop making my day! Take care and stay hydrated lots of love ❤️❤️

Watching this rn to catch up and I'm so hot right now!! my room is like a sauna even with two fans on.

Ooooh look at that terrain goodness!! Loves it!

Such a thoroughly delightful video of this elaborately-detailed farmstead with your characteristically "terrain manipulation of infinite patience" and gorgeous decor. (Is it possible to shift-click an unsprouted tree to auto-mature it?)

i love it when you say "ive got my fanny out"

I had a dream last night that you were my roommate- you talked and sounded like yourself but you looked liked David on Schitt’s Creek 🤣 we had a blast!

omg your builts are amazing! I found your yt after kayla raided u the other day and I'm def here to stay you're so good at building! :3

Absolutely awesome darling 👨‍🌾🐝

Woww stunning! I’ve missed your voice 😍

22:55 maybe they could update the pond tool were depending on how deep the water level ( that you can on the water depth grid), sims can swim in the natural pool. I also think they need to update terrain tool so we can use them next to our build without it looking janky.

You're a wizard devon!

Absolutely lovely 🥰

38 is a standard hot day in Sydney, Australia but does seem pretty excessive for merry old England

I love EcoLifestyle! It was the best, hands down, rags to riches LP ever. Anyway, I hope it cools down in the UK soon

This heat is killer, I feel like a mushy puddle. I’ve not even turned my pc on it’s too hot to sit at my desk 😫

20:26 ELIIITE!

Fuck this hot weather honestly it's gross. Roll on late summer/autumn! :))) gorgy build...

I love it it looks so ecological appropriate and smhw real 👍🏻👍🏻

Oh, I very much like this build! Stay hydrated, Darlings!

earth ships are super cool! I pipedreamed a bit about building one before we started house shopping. Can you at least pre-record your builds outside with that delightful new laptop before you record voice overs?

YAAAAAASSSSSSS VOCALS!!!!

Celine Dion - “It’s All Coming back to Me Now” You’re welcome :)

while a heatwave is never fun (I live in rural Ontario and the heat has been terrible), it's so different to see you postpone a video in a healthy way compared to my other fave male from Ireland who is just deciding to move to Spain (Call Me Kevin). Like chaotic good vs chaotic in general.

No apologies needed. I live in London in attic studio flat... Fudge, it's hot. I have humidifier and chilling fan and they don't work... Geeez. I hate this weather

The cherry Grove 😍😍😍

Beautiful darling

Hope blue is surviving the heat okay! 💙

I wonder if its warm in Devon 😕 i wish he told us

wow you popped off with this build @_@

Looooove this!!!

It is stupidly hot here and in true Brit style we have to complain 🤣🤣. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it but there’s a mod by mizoreyukii that removes the need for bits and pieces for candles. It just doesn’t make sense 🤷🏼‍♀️

i absolutely love it!! it would have been perfect for my sim but it has too many packs..

This title has me SCREAMIN! Gonna get some snacks - brb!
