Windenburg Isle Castle | The Sims 4 Speed Build 

You really know your sims obsessed when your walking about places saying ‘Oh that would look good in the sims’

Wow, this is hands-down the best castle I've seen built with the kit without being overly complicated and elaborate - it really shows that you've got a fair bit of understanding about castle designs from having been to them in person. Great work Aden, thank you for sharing this!! Edit: also awesome choice of music, so atmospheric. Perfection all 'round.

I might contribute a little bit about the medieval furniture. The sofas we have today, which are mostly padded and comfortable, would have been very hard to find in medieval Europe. Chairs were made, even stuffed ones, or benches that could act as a precursor to nowaday sofas. These could be upholstered with cushions, fur or plaids. At the same time, chests were also used to be sat at. The shift came only in the 17th century, when sofas were an important luxury item intended mainly for the nobility. Oh, and this build was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you!

Thank you for making this castle! Everyone else I’ve seen has made their castles more fantastical or like they’ve been renovated, and they’re still beautiful, but this is the type of vibe I’ve been really wanting to see.

Just watching the first few minutes I was thinking so much about "oh this pack would look great to recreate Minas Tirith or Helm's Deep" and then you mentioned you're reading the books and I nearly screamed! What a lovely castle, and if inspiration strikes you, I'd LOVE to see some LoTR inspired builds!

Finally for the first time this week RU-vid decided to actually send me notification of a new video 😂 Love the build btw. Wish I had a castle and a dragon....

This is seriously one of the best builds I've seen in like, forever. You always mix aesthetics, terrain, realism and playability so perfectly I adore it !

Fantastic! 👏🏻 These types of castles wouldn't have an insane amount of clutter anyway. That came later in history. Maybe we need a Regency era pack 😅

This is an enormous build. I love everything CASTLE. I also agree with your comments on being interested in British history. I have family from Milnsbridge in Yorkshire. I've been on vacation to the UK four times and would love to have the money to just move there. I have always been interested in the UK and it's history because of having family there or at least that's where our family started. I hope that I will have the opportunity to get back there again some day. I also had the opportunity to visit Milnsbridge so that was a treat.

Just incredible! I especially love the dining hall. The grandeur of the space is just right. And yes, it really needs a medieval fireplace. The CL one will have to do. You are very fortunate to live somewhere where castles, cathedrals and ruins are so accessible. In the states, much of our history was not durable. The indigenous population lived lifestyles which left less of a trace behind, with some exceptions like some pueblos in the Southwest, and cliff dwellings like Mesa Verde. We also have a terrible habit of tearing down old buildings, instead of celebrating them. I will say, it's gotten better, but if one wants to see beautiful old buildings, go to Europe. I've been lucky enough to visit several times, once during study abroad in the UK. I have seen more Cathedrals than I can count. They were all lovely. Notre Dame, Sacré Coeur, and Salisbury Cathedrals are my favorites. What I truly love are ruins. No idea why, but I love things that are old and shabby. My class visited Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, and I absolutely fell in love. The pink and orange sandstone was stunning. Visit if you haven't. Thanks for the build!

For tartosa you absolutly have to google italian castles and take inspiration from one of the many majestic and beautiful castles we have here in italy

The look of the stone reminds me of Edinburgh castle add in the fact it's ontop of a hill. Looks fantastic. I'm loving the kit works really well with get together and cottage living.

Definitely one of the best castle builds I've seen so far. I'm kind of disappointed at the number of views to number of likes ratio though, come on folks! Show Devon some love! 🖤

Love this! So much potential with this kit - wedding venues, parks would be great

what a beautiful castle, i love seeing castles around, i live close to several castles too.

I would love to see you recreate the Saltburn Manor or at least something inspired by it 😍 everyone has gone very traditional castle, would love to see something a bit more country manor/castle style and I know you’d kill it 😍

Awesome build! Not sure if someone hasn't commented on this before me but in general, if you've raised the terrain first and then started building the ground level on the new raised height, any room that comes out of the raised portion of the terrain will have the high foundation, BUT technically you'll be building on a ground level and shouldn't be having a foundation underneath to worry about. That way you should be able to have a basement level that is right under the ground one and have that kitchen built there :D

This build is amazing, it left me speechless. You’re so talented!

Awesome build. I really enjoyed it. The location and the landscape are awesome. Your reference castle reminds me very much of Mont Saint Michel in France which is also a castle/village on a tidal island near the coast. Kind of the french counterpart to your castle, named after the same saint. The only thing I would add is a big cauldron from the magic pack. It can be used for regular cooking and making a large serving in a cauldron seems fitting for medieval gameplay.

My god this castle is incredible, and the terrain is amazing! Honestly, i can't even figure out how to put 2 rooms together i'm that shit lol, thank god for talented builders like you. EA needs you! 🤩

This is the first castle that made me excited to the point I want to get the kit immediately! Wonderful build!!!

Oh, if you want to build more of a Mediterranean style of castle in Tartosa, you could check the castles of Tortosa, Alcañiz or Cardona for inspiration. All of them are hotels nowadays, so you probably will find lots of videos and photos. Looking forward for more manors and castles!

This is hands Down the best Castle I’ve seen built with this kit

This is gorgeous, Aden! I’ve been waiting to see you use this kit and once again, you’ve outdone yourself. Have fun with your niece and nephew! ❤

The intro music made me think of the TV show “Reign.” This is an amazing build as usual Aiden!

Your eating table area reminds me of the Malfoy manor that you did

Yes, a big open fire and arrow slots would have been a nice addition to the kit to have a little more realism especially when it’s a build kit.

this is SO stunning!!! if you ever were interested in doing it i would kill to see what you could do with custom content for a castle build, there's so much good stuff out there.

Wow, this castle is absolutely beautiful. 👌👌👌

Stunning... This really shows of the kit! Thank you for all this hard work... ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I’m so envious that you got to go visit castles for school trips 😂 my biggest dream is visit castles! Or go to a Irish pub, hopefully an old building with lots of history. I want to close my eyes, touch the building and absorb all that history 😂 I know, I know, I sound like a crazy Canuck lol

Now I'm jealous of your school trips. We just always went to the zoo. We do have few castles in Finland and I've visited some as an adult. All the stairs just would've been easier as a teen. :D And yes, I play with my sim-self. (Thihihi) I also have my close family and friends as sims and I delight them (humans) sometimes by sending them pictures and telling them how they now have the dog they've been dreaming of or really awesome apartment and what not in sims. At least so far they've been patiently answering my messages with some nice comment. Btw, I burst out laughing when you started to talk about weather. :D I would've liked to know what what was happening in the book then. Have a nice spring! :D

That is the most amazing build I have seen!!!

I was so excited to see you build a castle with the new castle kit...Love how this came out. Now I really want to put a household in this one 🥰🥰

This is one of the best builds Ive ever seen. Wow.

you went on field trips to castles and we went to look at the inside of local mcdonald’s and i thought it was awesome

AMAZING BUILD -- incredible attention to detail and that landscaping is top tier! And yes loved your comment about there being so much history in Britain/Europe. Visiting there as an American is always like 🤯🤯🤯 because our commonly known "old" structures are a measly few centuries old. Meanwhile I looked at part of Hadrian's Wall in the UK and could hardly believe it. Also was fortunate to visit places like Stonehenge and Newgrange (Ireland) which are just wild.

Blimey!!!!! This is absolutely jaw dropping, still picking my jaw off the floor!! This is incredible!!! BRAVO BRAVO❤❤❤

I really didn't think I'd have any interest in buying this pack but good lord this is gorgeous!!

Fantastic build 😍 it looks amazing. I remember many school trips, watching this reminded me of trips to Totnes Castle and Buckfast Abbey (and obviously St Michael's Mount too!)

beautiful build! I dont think that I have ever played my simself actually, not really something I find that interesting as I like to tell other stories with my gameplay and I play the game to not relive my life virtually but to use my creativity

It's amazing! I don't know how you come up with the ideas for such big builds! I would love to see you build something with this kit and also some CC

I am actually obsessed with this. You should do a series where you create a castle for every Disney princess 👑

Amazing build! Been waiting for you to do a castle build that’s more British styled. I’m Australian and we don’t have a lot of castles here but when I was in New Zealand I visited Lanarch Castle (it’s not really a castle, just a large manor house) in Dunedin which was beautiful.

This absolutely gorgeous! You are so so talented ❤

See, this is everything I could ever have hoped for when this kit came out. 😍 In fact, this is everything. Period. ❤

Aden!!! I can't even imagine how much work this took, it's absolutely amazing! You are so so so talented, wow! I just built my first school recently and almost died lol, I could never ever do something like this, I'm glad I found your channel cause then I can just use your gorgeous builds kkkkkkk (hate using "lol" the "kkkkk" come so naturally, it's understandable that it's a laugh, right?)

Absolutely stunning! This is the sort of thing I think of when I think Castles. Just awestruck x

as soon as i saw this kit come out i thought “i can’t wait to see aden use this”, i’ve only just started but from the thumbnail and video at the start i am in love!! your talent amazes me every time!! can’t wait to for the henford on bagley lbtw, i just know you’ll knock it out the park!!🤍

Beautiful build! I can't wait for the HOB Let's Build the Worlds 🤤 I play with my self Sim and also my whole family, best friend, etc. It makes the gameplay so much fun. So my favorite moment - sending my Sim self to a maker space and seeing my bestie and her boyfriend in the background jumping into a dumpster together! The Sims shenanigans are even funnier when the Sims are based on ppl you know 😂

This is an amazing build! Well done! So detailed and packed full of fun stuff for Sims. And the exterior 🤯 Also, I don't play with my sims self. Find it too weird 😂 Planet Zoo landscaping tools in The Sims would be great... to have that flexibility!

I feel like we need a medieval stuff pack that gives us furniture like a huge stately fireplace but also a functional cooking hearth with pot like u mentioned in the beginning. Also we neeeed clothing and hair options. I game on xbox and I love period story’s but I can’t mod anything so yes. I’d love some stuff to really give a medieval vibe for a let’s play story line i’m dying to do.

FINALLY !!!! I've been waiting for this.... IM IN LOVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Such a stunning build!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE A CASTLE YESSSSSS

Love this build! Amazing job ❤

Love this castle! My longest save is my simself as a supersim

We need landscaping tutorials from you

With the castle kit and the ability to make nectar now, you could update the cult you created and make them live in an actual castle and sell nectar!

Woah, just the intro was epic!!

I really want to see a castle build with this kit and the Chateau CC pack!

Beautiful build, and I really want to go to Saint Michael's Mount now!! ^^ Although in the MA they had many colors and brocades and tapestries on the wall, they would have frozen cold in your castle!! 😅

I LOVE IT!!! when will it be in the gallery?

When this leaked we knew you’re going to build an Isle Castle! 😢❤ beautiful, breath taking and stunning! Also any chance of streams this year? Missing them evenings so much! Sending hugs 🫂🫂🫂🫂

I have no words for this...Well I do, Just Amazing! When people moan that ya can't do much with the kit packs they should watch this...And I added myself to the game when 4 was first released. .I (my sim me )actually died in the Solar Flare whilst getting drunk and instead of an urn there was a wine bottle appeared because of a glitch in my game .I'm still there to this day Lol

I love this!!! Can you make a castle wedding venue? I just know it would be so so stunning.

Amazing build , ive been waiting for you to do it with the castle kit ! Looking for more castles always😂

Now THIS is the castle we’ve been waiting for 😮😍

Holy shiiiit. You have outdone yourself with this build!

Lovely castle, glad I caught this before I turned in. It will be a nice image to fall asleep to. If you do another travel vlog, you should go to the castle you mentioned. It sounds so intriguing the way you described it being secluded. Is it close enough to just pop over there when the weather gets nicer? I'd love to see it! I'm not even going to Google it in case you do go. 😆

Loooooove this ! Well done Devon :) ❤❤❤❤

This would work wonderfully with the Royalty Mod. 😍

This is sooo good 🫡🫡

Wow. Simply, wow.

Oh wow, this is absolutely stunning x

I'd move my simself in too

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS

Really nice the kind a castle I like to make if I ever get the kit haha

You are so talented man 😍

Aden you should watch the last kingdom if your into medieval history 😊 fabulous build as always

Beyond Amazing!!

Gorgeous!! ❤❤

this is amaaaaazing

Gorgeous build, absolutely stunning. By the way, where do you get your music from? It's always so lovely.

How I wish I would be able to visit mediaeval castles! We don’t have any here in Canada. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Stunning!!

The pause really tickled me looool

OMG!! I've been waiting for you to make something with castle kit. Even I thought it would be nice if you would make a new castle for Magic Realm with castle kit LOL 😂 Anyway THIS IS AWESOME!! ❤

Lovely build! Speaking of stairs, when do you think they will fix stairs to work with diagonal rooms? 🤣😛

Why have I never thought to listen to an audio book whilst building. I always have to choose between a book or a build.

My fav castle!!

Great build, can't wait to see more. I love the music at the end, what is it called?

Masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾

LOVE THIS

Incredible!!!!

Aden, I love your gorgeous build, but I'm deeply moved by the long LOTR pause. I've been dweebing out on Tolkien for around a year now. He was a marvelous and prolific writer and there's a huge cache of side lore. HUGE! You Brits are a gifted lot. ♥

I love it, thank u ❤

Beautiful build as always. Quick question, when using the TOOL mod, how do you move your objects back-and-forth without using the X&Y axis? I see a lot of the top creators do that, and I cannot figure out how to do it for the life of me. Have a great day!

Love this

Not me googling “medieval sofa” at 1 am.
