Rebuilding Newcrest with the new kit! 📚 The Sims 4 

I love hearing more about Australia! Tell us more anytime! ❤

I love how proud you are of your heritage and always referencing Australian architecture! Love to see it ❤

I loved the Aussie info, love the shelves around the craft table, LOVE that you forgot the fridge, REALLY love that you have a doctor appointment, and love YOU! I hope you get answers soon 🥰

Love hearing about Australian architecture! Feel better soon Deli, until then take as much rest as you need, we'll all still be here when you're 100% again! ❤️

Thanks so much for focusing more on Australian architecture! After many years of European and US style houses in the sims 4, this is like a fresh breath of air and I am really happy to learn more about your country. Take good care of yourself and take all the time you need to get well!

Yay your back!!!! I hope you feel better we have all missed you❤

I am in love with your contemporary Australiana builds. They’re so clean and such a breath of fresh air in a sea of US and Europe centric builds 🥰🤗

Absolutely loved hearing about architecture in Australia and the reason behind certain houses and floorplans. It was very entertaining to listen to 👍

Another reason that Aussie houses have big open plan living areas at the back is when an extension has been added to the back of a pokey 1800s workers cottage. Loving the Australian newcrest builds!

It's so good to hear you're putting your health first! Having any sort of video every once in a while is an absolute bliss

Health first, always, Deli. I just had major surgery and surprise expenses due to that so I had to cancel my RU-vid memberships but I also hope to be rejoin when things get better for me. It was a treat to get a video from you though. I hope that your health issues come to a happy and healthy conclusion soon. ❤

Thanks so much Deli! I can’t imagine how hard this has been. We love seeing you either way! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

I love learning about Australia from you Deli!! Glad to see you again, hope you're doing Ok! 😊🩷🩷

I found it really interesting when you were talking about Australian architecture. I find learning about the way houses are built in other countries. I have lived in a really hot and really cold country and I've definitely noticed the difference in the way houses are built.

I love your explanation of what is going on with houses in Australia (I’m from the US) because I love watching home tours and the architecture/ design of homes in Australia and this provides much context from what I have seen! Love the homes, so much more interesting than normal US suburbia

my favourite part of your videos is how much you share about Australia and how you view the Sims from such an architectural standpoint, it's super interesting and I hope you continue to inform us more about Australia! I know a little bit since a lot of people form my country (Malta) have relocated to Australia and a ton of us have family living there, would love to visit someday :)

These are not only speed builds, it goes beyond that! It's such an experience to hear you talking about Australian culture, and your life, while watching you build an incredible house! Keep doing this please 🥺💕

That’s such a good and functional real-life layout!

Hope you're doing well Deli ♥️

Oh my gosh i love this house, the interior is so soft and homey 🥹 also the bookshelf as side tables is such a great idea !!! everything works so well together 🩵

I am in-love with the new Kit, and Deli you used it amazingly well! Deli-builds are some of my faves!!!

Yay so happy your back!! And super excited for the newcrest build series! Are you going to make families for the world with backstories?

I love to see you back! I'm so happy that you got an appointment with a doctor, I really hope that goes well for you and that they'll figure out what's wrong. About the carpet/floorboards: I live in Sweden where it certainly gets below 0 degrees for months. We almost never have carpet on our floors here. I can't remember seeing that anywhere other than in hotels. We have rugs, for sure, because the floors get cold but not carpet. It gets more and more common though in new houses but it's not in any way common yet.

I think it’s cool that your Newcrest build is more Australien. I’m from the US and I love to hear about Australia! Your builds are always amazing. Feel better Deli ♥️

We love hearing you talk about Australia! Hope you are feeling better Deli, we are all here for you! 😊❤

So good to see you, Deli…I’m so sorry that you’re still so sick, but hopefully the GYNO has some solutions, both for helping short term and for keeping you healthy long term! ❤🙏🏼 Beautiful build, as ALWAYS 😊 Love hearing the facts about Australia.

I LOVE your building videos, they have the perfect vibe to wind down in the evening. ANd I love that you’re bringing your heritage into this series ❤

So great to see you back Deli! Also love your beanie. It's so cute! I'm so sorry for everything you are going through. We are all here for you Deli!❤❤❤

I always watch deligracy’s videos when I’m sad or crying because she always without fail makes me calm down and makes me happy. I’m so great full for her❤❤❤❤

Deli! It’s good to see you feeling good enough to record. ❤ I love this build, definitely give us more Australian style houses. I love houses on stilts but in the sims idk how to do it outside of Sulani. A build like that would be very educational.

I love hearing about Australia while watching the build simultaneously… great build … super exited to see the Newcrest series, I love seeing your modern architecture, ur supper talented ! ❤

Hey Deli, sending positive vibes and energy your way. I really loved that hexagonal island you did in the kitchen first, I’ve never even thought of doing that but I will definitely be trying that in my next build. Thanks for the idea and inspiration. Be well 👋

Good to see your feeling better! Yes!! 🎉NEW BUILDS 🎉

Millennial Australian here (NSW) and totally agree with everything you are saying Building in the sims is a way of living out my fantasy of owning my own home, really loving this modern Australiana build series.

Feel better! I’ve experienced having life and health yanked out from under me with no explanation and years of searching for answers and recovery. It’s so frustrating and depressing in the moment and I’m glad you have wonderful support in your life because it makes all the difference. A lot of people find the “spoon theory” written by a woman with lupus very comforting and useful when dealing with limitations from an illness no one can see.

I really like hearing about Australia from you, sending hugs and positive thoughts, rest and get well soon

This is a beautiful build! I have to second what others are saying: I love learning more about Australia. I'm an English major from Central Europe and we never paid attention to the southern English-speaking countries (or Canada for that matter). And it's great to learn about other places through their architecture - it always says a lot about both the history and the current lifestyles of the inhabitants. Take care and we will always be here once you're back.

thank you for the insight into Australian architecture! i see a lot of Sims builders struggling to make beautiful roofs when so many houses in real life are just simple. it's good to know another place that's like that

I've drilled into my head that I cannot make just a rectangular build and I need to make bump outs, but yours always turn out so good even with just a simple rectangle. My mind is always blown!

I love hearing you talking about Australia! Something new and different, especially the architecture and style. Thank you Deli!

I always find it super interesting to learn about the similarities and differences in life between countries. Hope you get back to feeling 100% soon, Deli! c:

My Gran's old house, in Sydney, was pretty old, red brick single storey that they added a second floor to when my mum was a teenager. It has always surprised me the way that Australian architecture has gone in the last few decades in terms of the open-plan look - her place has no aircon, just ceiling fans, but the brick is pretty thick and the windows relatively small and shaded with traditional overhangs, and it's really nicely cool on the inside. It definitely isn't always comfortable not to have aircon (lots of blinds drawn for shade, hosing down the outside walls) but the individual divided rooms on the inside helps to keep the heat separated - the back of the house can get quite warm from the sun, but it can be separated off, so that heat doesn't spread as much - which obviously doesn't work with open plan.

We love seeing you back 🥰 also love hearing more about australia’s architecture, since it is pretty much the opposite to the (traditional) architecture here in austria! Hope you are feeling better 🥰

I'm from the southern US, I love hearing about other countries. We learn so little about them here so it's incredibly interesting. I've been considering rebuilding Newcrest based on my neighborhood and possibly starting a channel to share it there. I live in Historic Mobile, AL, USA. Once I learn how to record and edit that is 😂 love ADHD

i would love to see some classic 70-90s australian homes- perhaps with an updated, modern twist? like a first home buyer has renovated it to make it their own! btw i hope you're feeling better and taking care of yourself deli

I absolutely love the idea of a shared property with detached sections for family members! ❤ Even if someone moves out the space could be rented out. In south africa real estate is also very expensive so this is a brilliant solution to sharing a home while also having privacy... Great build Deli 💕🙈

We missed you! I hope you are finally getting the answers to your soon health. I love hearing more about Australia one of my friends is Australian too and it seems like such a cool place to visit someday. America is the same, it is very expensive to move out here.

The joy I felt when I saw you had uploaded and you're okay! Really missed you Deli 🥹

Glad you were feeling well enough to film. I (an American) love hearing you talk about what it's like in Australia. Hope you and your doctor(s) get everything figured out and sorted so you can have more and more good days.

So happy to see you on youtube again, Deli! I've been missing your videos, but just take things at your pace and concentrate on yourself, as you seem to be doing now I'm watching youtube basically every night before going to sleep, and almost every time it's either you or James. So don't worry, I think many of us will just watch James for the time being :D, and wait for you to come back for a more regular schedule when you're ready!

I'm really enjoying this Newcrest build series with the Australian vibe. I'm from the UK so our architecture and way of living is very different. I also like all the Aussie-related talk as 20 years ago exactly I spent 5 months backpacking round the country, so I will always have a soft spot for it and like to hear what's going on over there! I didn't make it to Southern Australia or Victoria but toured the remaining mainland states so it's interesting to hear about the different types of architecture you have. Really sorry to hear you're still unwell, I hope you get some answers and start feeling better soon. It's horrible when your health does a 180 on you, trying to adjust is nigh on impossible. I have M.E. and this last year I went from being pretty healthy and very active to not being well enough to work anymore and losing most of my old life thanks to chronic fatigue and pain. So I totally appreciate how you must be feeling and wish you a speedy recovery, you must always put your health first!

Tbh, love getting a history lesson, thank you Deli!

It's so nice to see you back! I really hope you're okay and getting the support and love you deserve 💞

So sad to hear you're still unwell! Thought I would share some things I do to manage endometriosis and PCOS pain in case it helps. I use a nice heating pad or hot water bottle (sometimes I lay under a heated blanket - so soothing). I have a cooling eye mask I keep in the fridge because I get headaches. And a bit of lavender or peppermint oil on the nose and temples. Also laying on your tummy on the floor! It really releases all your back and abdominal muscles that you might be clenching from pain. I hope this helps someone

i find this so interesting Deli! Who knew the Sims could be informative. I've never been to Australia so this is definitely an interesting way to get to know your country. A lot of the sims 4 build and buy options are very centered around American architecture and as a result a lot of lots are in this style. But as a non-American i really love to see more diversity! Thank you and hope you are well :)

When I was a kid (early 80s) there was a show - I don't remember if it was Sesame Street or 3-2-1 Contact, but a show like that - it had a segment where it showed how children lived around the world. I was fascinated by the different houses. I never lost that growing up. I have always been extremely interested in houses around the world, specifically how environment and local natural disasters plays a part in house design. We have homes here along the Ohio River that are up on stilts like that due to flooding being a common issue. Many houses in New England have an outdoor (or screened in) walkway like in your build called a breeze way, and it was a place to sit and stay a bit cooler before air conditioning. So yes, I want to see more homes from the rest of the world, especially if you explain the purpose of certain features. Side note - the segment from Australia featured a family that lived in an underground home dug into the clay. I remember they were pregnant, and were planning on digging an additional room. For a long time as a child, I did think all Australians lived underground due to extreme heat.

So nice to see you here again! Thank you for the insight on Australia living. It's a dream destination for me. I'm in Vermont USA. My town is only 8 miles from Canada. -34 C to 30 C. We can get by without air-conditioning in our homes. but we need some heat source most months. Please continue to focusing on your health first! We will still be here for you when you're feeling 100% again.

I totally agree with us Australians loving our back yards. I am currently building a house with my partner in Adelaide and I can not wait to sit out the back on our alfresco and enjoy the outdoors ❤️

Housing is so expensive everywhere! When my husband and I were looking for a new home 5 years ago, we decided to buy a home that was converted into a duplex with a separate entrance, kitchen, bath and utilities. This way our 2 adult daughters can always have a place to live without worrying about the cost. When they decide to get their own home, we can then use it as extra income. One of our daughters is still in school and the other is just starting out her career. This works out for all of us since bills are greatly reduced and it is great to have them around more since I really enjoy spending time with them.

I enjoy hearing about the houses in Australia!! In America, our housing market is crazy right now, too! Thank you for sharing so much about your country with us! I hope your health really improves. I have been in that situation and I know how rough it is to have your life hit a roadblock. Hang in there and keep taking care of yourself.

I live in Sydney Australia and yes it's so expensive. A plot of dirt 300m2 is now almost 900k in a newly developed area. Every time you think you have a good deposit, the prices skyrocket again and it constantly feels like you're chasing a finish line that keeps moving away. I'm go thankful parent are happy for us kids to stay as long as we want. We even have 2 granny flats and still have a good sized backyard for my daughter to play in.

Oh my goodness Deli so happy to see that lovely smile! Glad you’re back and feeling better 🤗

I love hearing about Australia and it's architecture, when I think of a 'typical' Australian suburban house I think of the Federation Style, I feel that style became Australians own style after the Victorian and Colonial styles that were much more British themed. I'm from the UK btw lol x

I’m from Australia and love hearing you talk about it too LOL, our area is slowly being sub divided off too, lots of beautiful 60s and 70s houses being bulldozed, but I get it, it’s a lot cheaper and easier to run a smaller house. Hope you start feeling like yourself again soon. xx

Yes with the Australia lessons !!! I find it fascinating to learn about people's homes and cultures... and Australia is really a place that calls out to me ! It is a goal of mine to visit and travel across. I love hearing about the tiny details we wouldn't think about in pur day to day lives... such as it's a colder climate in the South blows my mind ... I mean obviously it's logical but it's not really something I think about 🤷‍♀️ Anyhoo, glad you where able to get an appointment sooner rather than later ! Good luck with everything 😘😘😘

The use of the teal colour especially in the bathrooms and on the appliances in the butlers pantry is BEAUTIFUL!

I live in the UK and love hearing about the housing/architecture situation in Aus! I find it fascinating how taxes/laws/different factors influence the ways we live ☺

I loved hearing you talk about the housing crisis in Australia, I'm in Canada and we have that too. I live at home because I couldn't afford my apartment anymore (very privileged that my mom had room and was willing to let me move back in). It makes me feel better hearing others talking about it as it can feel very hopeless 💕

First off, I love hearing about your homeland. As an American I feel like Americans can be kind of ignorant to other cultures. So I love learning new things. Secondly as a 30 year old woman with a lot of health issues please don't stress you not being able to do what you are used to. Every now and again we have to pause our super busy lives and just take care of ourselves and our health. Don't worry about us we will all be here for when you feel better. I can speak for myself, even though I can't afford to be a member and I'd like to be but can't right now but I'm sure your members will understand. Your health and well being is more important than anything else. I hope you get some answers to whatever it is you are going through health wise and just know you will overcome this. You are strong! We will all be patient and understanding and will be here for you. Best wishes Deli! Sending you love from Massachusetts (USA)

I absolutely love the use of so many big windows to bring the sunlight in!

I love your builds they are so open, simple, and spacious. I adore the fact that they have room for additional things your sims might need and aren't overly decorated.

It's amazing how similar your area is to western Canada! We have the same issues with rising taxes, land costs, inability for younger generation to buy homes. Carriage homes are allowed in many municipalities now. Homeless folks proliferate and the gap between rich and poor is wider than ever. Our builds still favor west coast contemporary but their costs have skyrocketed. Food costs are doubling every week and petrol now over $2 per litter. Glad to be retired, but the limited income really hurts! Sorry to find you've been ill...I too had a medical crisis end of May and spent June recovering. Let's hope we both get better soon ❤

Welcome back, Deli! I love the video and contemporary Australian architecture. You did a great job on this build and I can't wait to see more :)

I’m off to Perth for 3 weeks in January visiting family, I can’t wait 🤩

I'm from the US and I found what you were saying about Australia homes and lifestyle very interesting. I hope you are feeling a little bit better, or start to feel better soon.

This video was so fun! I loved learning more about Australia. Also, that hat is adorable! Keep taking care of yourself!

So good to see you Deli!

The living space is so good! I like having a more closed off kitchen IRL, but the open plan just looks so lovely. Also the book shelves as nightstands is genius. Looks perfect!

Beautiful home and I loved hearing what houses are like in Auz and its wonderful to see you back and I hope your health will be back to normal soon. Luv and hugs x to you and James :)

I always found learning about other styles of building of other country interesting

So interesting to hear about home and furnishing trends in Australia. In Germany, open plan kitchen/living areas are really big right now (I personally prefer a dining kitchen separate from the living room, because of the cooking smells - I hate to have the smell of fish or fermented foods linger in the upholstered furniture...) and we're also all ripping out the carpets that were huge in the 80s and 90s and replacing them with wood or wood-looking vinyl flooring :D

I've really missed you! I'm glad you were feeling well enough to make this video, but please put your health first. Don't push yourself too hard, we'll be here when you feel better ❤

Learning about housing (and other things) in Australia is so interesting! I'm from the Georgia in the US, and it's so nice seeing what housing is like in other places. It helps me get more ideas for my own Sims builds. I'm very excited to download all of these Newcrest builds. It would also be really interesting to learn about some holidays you may celebrate in Australia that we don't here or do but differently so we can celebrate in the Sims. You are my favorite simmer!

Love this build Deli! I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through, please take time and look after yourself. All our love is with you

I really appreciate how you share with us Australian architecture. Considering that I will be taking Architecture in college, learning about other architectural styles will surely help me. Thanks, Deli! ❤

This build was so pretty! Glad you’re back for a bit, can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us, but take care of you first ❤

I hope the appointment goes well and they find out what's up! Take your time with the recovery and don't overdo it. I'll be happy to see all your lovely content when you're back to good health (and I am sooouuu looking forward to getting a garden update when you're better, too hehe)

Would love to see some representation for us Aussies that don’t live in the major cities. Could you please please do an old Queenslander build? 🤩

Really enjoying learning more about Australian homes! In Swede it’s also more open plan and really love the look of it! 😍 I love the way Australian homes looks! Would love this style here in Sweden 😍

We live in Western Australia and renting a new house (built last year) and we don't habe A/C (also used as heater) yet. The House is so well insulated, that I'm freezing all day, now in Winter although it's quite warm on most days outside :D Love that you're going for australian architecture ♥

Glad to see you back! Hope you're feeling better 💕 sending my good vibes and support!

Welcome back Deli! ❤Hope you're feeling better!

So sorry to hear about your health struggles. I'm having some health things too and sometimes it can be difficult to adjust and deal with. I hope you get some help and feel better soon! Will always be a member as long as I financially can, happy to help out. Thank you for making as much content as you can. Love seeing these vids!

Hi doll , glad to hear youre getting the help you need for your health! I hope you feel better soon! Love this build the living area is so cute.

I love the house Deli, it is so beautiful, love the furniture, the colours, the style, everything! I also love to know more about Australia, thank you for sharing all the info with us. Please remember this: people who like you and love you would always love your videos and everything you talk about on them because we like you and love you us you are! We absolutely enjoy your videos from start to end! That is why we are your fans! And we will always give you all our support! Take care! ❤

I love hearing and learning everything about your culture! It’s so awesome! Also was excited to see your video pop up. Been worried about ya! Thanks for sharing your health update with us! I will continue to keep you in my prayers. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾💕

I’m building in Victoria at the minute and the ruling with double glazing is not enforced. We had to meet a certain criteria of energy efficiency and that required some of our windows to be double glazed, but not all of them! Love the build and enjoy hearing you talk about our great country!

I love the bookshelves as bedside tables, such a great idea, thank you!! Edit: Oh wow it's so good as a cookbook shelf too

Beautiful build deli! You sold it to me and more! Thank you! I hope you get much much better, love!

Great build Deli! Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. I hope your appt is helpful and that you're well soon
