Building a 1960'S BRITISH HOME | The Sims 4

Ello darlings!
So I decided to build a 1960's British home. We build it in the world of Newcrest on a 20x15 lot and go for an updated but still with a slightly kitschy aesthetic! ENJOY!

I am 70 and this brings back wonderful memories, I love Sims and you are amazing. Sending love to all you Simmers everywhere, from the N.W. 🇬🇧 UK.

[@faketaxi1427]

Hope you know how precious you are Barbara 🥺

[@marieduran6286]

This makes me feel better, I am 60 and I played the Sims since 2010.

[@amandasilver4622]

So glad to hear another older person plays the Sims 😁. Love all Aden's videos. Amazing builds x

[@amandasilver4622]

@@marieduran6286 I'm a couple of years older ❤! Been playing the Sims 20 years on and off, more regularly in past few years. Feel somewhat less embarrassed knowing other older people also play xxx

[@roisinnimhara]

Keep on playing and enjoying Barbara and all others under this comment! The Sims is for everyone! ❤

[@Sydthebutton]

This house is gorgeous! As an American I agree the gallery is way too saturated in American builds

[@alienflower7651]

And the sims is basically an American game simulator :( I wish we had diversity in culture instead of just skin tones (which I appreciate but it should be a norm)

[@annhitchins5800]

Well, there is so much more architectural variety in the US than what gets represented on the Gallery. Its a shame it's so limited a representation.

[@zuziagalant6761]

You should do more of these British houses or flats. They are so cute and you make them look so realistic for the SimS. Please, make more contemporary/lower class builds to represent people.

[@CrookedDragonSweets]

I’ve finally found my people!! I don’t see enough British simmers, amazing build!😊

[@helllllloworld]

Really??? I feel like sims KZbin is dominated by British simmers lol

[@fabiank9653]

For anyone that struggles with the bins: You can size them down. They are completely functional. Nothing floats. I do it all the time esp. in small kitchens and bathrooms

[@asiatomaszewska1151]

What I like about your videos and what inspire me is that you don't complain about how some of the furniture are ugly or doesn't fit. Objects have their own characteristics, uniqueness, style. You put them together and it gives a feeling more than anything. I find it more positive.🥰

[@foxfire2731]

am i the only one who finds Devon's build videos relaxing? I watch quite a few Sims 4 KZbinrs and Devon's is up there with Sims4Creations in terms of relaxing builds. With the world going to hell it's nice to sit back, relax and enjoy a good Sims 4 video that someone put all their time, effort and love into to make it a gorgeous home. He's inspired me to get back into playing my own game,so Devon Bumpkin, please keep up the amazing work and i look forward to seeing more of your beautiful builds :)

[@JohannaUtanH]

Totally agree! He has a very calming voice as well 🙌🏼😇

[@manumemanu]

I really appreciate your ability to make me look at some objects in the game from a completely different perspective. You are a master at integrating stuff that I would never thing would make sense in the decoration. It's just truly impressive. You make everything work. This was an absolute joy to watch. I sincerely think that you are one of the reasons why I still play The Sims.

[@libbyhardel1826]

Well I'll have you know I'm an AMERICAN WOMAN who ADORES very British architecture! So you keep doing you and building these gorgeous British builds!!!!! It really inspires me!

[@kenzielogic9405]

I love how you show the rest of the world the different styles of British homes. As an American, I always thought everyone just lived in little cottages and bungalows, probably due to the BBC shows I love to watch. This home is so interesting. Thank you for the education, as well as for your talent and charm.

[@kieran911]

This is so British and I love it! I definitely agree that the gallery is very Americanised, would love to see more British builds, so relatable!

[@ashlienicole216]

American here. I love this build. I really enjoy seeing builds from different areas of the world.

[@chyngyzsupuev]

I like the way Devon explains his thought process when building, it's so chill yet interesting

[@0Demiyah0]

I am vibing with it too. It feels very homey and familiar to me, an entire Sims neighborhood in this style would be a nice moment for me.

[@alexispregeant7811]

I have yet to see you do a build that isn’t thoughtful and full of detail! As someone with an olive green kitchen (hello late 70s!) your attention to color and kitschiness is much appreciated in a sea of white suburban builds!

[@jrenee1040]

The olive green kitchen is coming back! That's why it's ultimately important (in my opinion) to just get what you like at the end of the day because trends will come and go.

[@jmsaint7167]

I think this is my favourite build of yours. I'm feeling the flow of colours the style of the build exterior and interior. I'm immersed in the 60s fantasy.

[@lonneke1968]

Yes! Terraced house AND 60’s VIBES? Sold!

[@coconutii]

WOW this house has given me so much nostalgia from growing up in a British terraced house exactly like this one, this is so perfect Aiden! I never wanted to leave that house!! Thank you, all my happy childhood memories are coming back from this build! 🥰❤

[@jovarl123]

I love this house! There's a house in this style by the river near where I live, and the owner sells super cute glass sculptures which they display in the window and hang in the tree outside.

[@winterwine460]

I’m so obsessed with this build. The floor plan, the furnishings, the style. I love all of it

[@noestestristecass]

I love the way you say grrreenerreh I hope showers are functional in the wall, i like this idea of hiding the tiles so much!

[@poppyblu7001]

i just wanna say i love this video ! the way your talking just everything is so relaxing it is not overly excited ! LOVE IT

[@TeruteruBozusama]

I love looking at things and trying to figure out which decade they're from. Norwegian typical 60s houses have some similarities yet very different..! Somewhere we drove by, Im not 100% sure where, it looks like they bulldozed an old mountain castle to build a huge 80s apartment complex, and it looks so weird!

[@WhatTheNeighboursSay]

This satisfies my desire held since 2000 to have British content for the Sims haha

[@NasukaStar]

I love seeing homes from other countries in the sims. You're right that nobody does it much. And if an American simmer tries to, they aren't gonna get it as accurately as someone who actually lived in that type of home.

[@imitationcam2508]

That's why you're my favourite, I want my save to be as British as my life is and you're saving me

[@countrybumpkinski]

As an english person, living in australia, who used to live in terrace house, I love this build ❤️❤️ you are such an awesome builder, i love your page on the gallery 😂😊😊

[@elisabethrichard]

I'm getting tired of American houses as well. Not just the way they look on the outside, but also the layout. You nailed this one. We've got very similar ones in France. I love the vibes too!

[@XiaLingLing]

I haven’t watched it in years but the interior, specifically the kitchen, gave me proper Jetson’s vibes💕

[@simpublic89]

Yaaaaasssssss king!! I make some British looking homes too, love doing that! They look so much more reasonable than these suburban cottages that I’ve no idea how to build…

[@vanessahollenbach5480]

What a cute little Legacy Founder house!

[@hannahplantlady5888]

What an absolute vibe love it. The mini makes it

[@crazyhat15]

I absolutely love this build it reminds me of this build you did years ago when I first discovered your page. I remember I didn’t have the gallery so I watched the whole video pausing every second just to remake it in my game lol ❤️

[@laurenhexes]

you're so good at building realistic houses, it's annoying lmao

[@shawniam2000]

I just love this build, hope you add it to the gallery so I can place it in my game. I love this style it brings back memories.

[@AntaresSelket]

I agree with you about the gallery. There are so many modern American builds, which I am not into even though I'm American. The one time I made a modern mid century build it was so popular, but I do prefer European and period builds more. And lately, so many people are putting empty lots on the gallery. Why? What kind of trend is that all about?

[@patrickhill9328]

Hi ... form Australia 👋🐨 I love this town house. That's what we call it over here. Tiny,cute,cossie house. Yes ... dafently my sims can lived in it. Very beautiful decor n loving it...😍🐨

[@monsieurszo]

Oh yaaasssss lov you British man and you vibe and your builds!

[@TownieSimBuilds]

Yes! So refreshing seeing something different for suburban homes. I love the realistic feel and the style throughout the interior.

[@samanthaparker5914]

Oooo yes love a good British home luvs

[@snc99]

Your voice is so soothing. I always enjoy your builds but I come just to hear you speak first and foremost 😊

[@Caro2Late]

Your builds are always so freakishly similar to what we have going on here in the Netherlands. I know people in Belgium people don't have plants in their windows. That is how we know we hit the border with them, which runs right through villages sometimes. Same houses, but no plants in the windows. And after seeing this video I was wondering whether the British people didn't either, because for me that bay window is screaming for plants ☺

[@haeroerin2990]

This build is so cute, I love it. Also really enjoy seeing Blue in your videos, he's such a gorgeous bebe.

[@michelebell6225]

i recently discovered your videos and I have to say I love ur decorating style - it's not over cluttered but it still have a ton of personality - I can't wait to see what else u come up with as I continue to explore ur channel (also I just adore ur voice and commentary) 💜💜

[@francesprendergast1721]

Lovvvve this! Your working class British homes are my favourites :) so nostalgic and cosy.

[@vickies8604]

I love this house so much!! Reminds me of the row of houses near my late nan's house in East London :)

[@thijseijk25]

We've got this kind of houses too in The Netherlands! A lot of them actually.

[@mirrrorismycompetition]

so adorable my sims will be living here soon

[@janeway73]

This is a gorgeous build and like you said, it looks so real. ❤️

[@Jay-B1750]

Looks just like some in my village, I love them! Looks amazing 👏

[@hamsandwich99]

Looove it! It's going in my world RIGHT. NOW.

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

Brand new sub, And I’m tickled pink to have found your channel. I got about 10 seconds in and I couldn’t click subscribe fast enough. In love with your accent/voice. Love the build as well. I love how you break it down proper in between building to comment on things. Love speed builds/time lapses, but I also appreciate a build that’s “real time.”

[@_.sugawang74]

Wait that shower hack is so smart, will definitely start doing that!!😩

[@ruthtracey8125]

What a brilliant house, love it x

[@xen1255]

I love how the living room is upstairs because more older houses traditionally have the living room on the first floor

[@gurlbye9583]

i could listen to this man talk about his buildings in this game every single day 🫶🏾 and i lovee how the house turned out

[@innocentnemesis3519]

Love this idea. I’ve been wanting to turn Newcrest into a hybrid of a part-regenerated 1960s estate

[@avalon5957]

Such a lovely build as always 💕 Builds like these makes me miss the TS3 apartment build tools. I loved how you could split a house and turn individual areas into apartments. Then you could've build a row of these and actually have them work as individual apartments. It's *really* something that TS4 has been missing, especially with the extremely limited apartments in the game. - That and garbage bins in the counters. lol still can't believe they haven't added that after all these years. 🤣😆

[@spookywitchxx]

Wow the kitchen is amazing!!

[@endereverdeen]

adore it! love the way you mix up items in the sims, even with a limited set with no cc, every build feels fresh. also - love your music choices, always

[@ditaward9778]

Hi ... From Australia 👋🐨 What ever you build it's so stunning n amazing, with so much idea or amagenation you have have. I'm having fun watching you build n content ... Love you my love 😘

[@SandyCarey]

I enjoyed this build, but to me the dining room on second floor wasn't what I would have thought, although not British, I would have put the dining room in the kitchen. Added a bar upstairs, IMO. Aden it was a very nice build. Love 💘 ya my friend, hugs to Blue and regards to Tom.

[@elisabethrichard]

In my area, there are so many of these houses. They typically did have the kitchen on ground level and the living room upstairs. As for the dining, people often had one cramped dining area in the kitchen, plus one better looking dining area in the living space, for entertaining guests.

[@SteamyPMcGee]

I just can't imagine trying to carry trays of hot foot and drinks up those stairs which have the gaps and no rail! Looks good but I'd personally be a disaster.

[@SandyCarey]

@@elisabethrichard same here. Maybe because we're not used to having to climb stairs with hot food, and easier to just have a dining room set in the kitchen. I'm sure other countries/customs live like that and seems totally normal. I'd see me having accidents at least twice a month. Or needing a dumb waiter..

[@juneszabo2727]

This is so beautiful. I absolutely love the kitchen, the orange lamps set it off beautifully, many thanks 👏👍

[@SweetLadyMia]

This house is beautiful! I love the kitchen and living room. The way the sun 🌞 comes into the living room looks so cozy. 🥰

[@Cimmantti]

Yeahhh you should do house designs through the ages!!

[@khWaage]

Haha glad you spotted the lamp it was driving me crazy seeing it there 😅😅😅

[@KirstenMcguigan87]

Youre just so creative! I need more homes like this in my game because I'm too lazy to build them myself!

[@jamescruise-brown2012]

I saw that grand designs episode the other week too and I fell in love with it. Love your builds as always ❤

[@romulocampos9309]

When i see this kind of house it reminds me of the Geordie Shore’s house

[@aoefeable]

If you were local to me, I’d hire you to design my real home. Your aesthetic is simply amazing!

[@nanzuru7139]

First video i've seen from you and i think your voice is really pleasant! I think you could do some kinda soft spoken asmr kinda building videos.

[@linda4th]

Love this! It is a sort of combination of a couple of homes I have been in in the past. Brilliant build as always xx

[@Lonelystar_xoxo]

She likes to keep it on show, the mini 😭😂

[@RosinaEmilyW]

I’d love a British world (for the design variety) that introduced a way to build and designate your own apartments. It would be fantastic for designing houses from cultures with more limited space like European cities and Japan (Snowy escape would have really benefitted). Failing that, I’d love a world with no defined architectural features outside of the lots. Newcrest is great, but the backdrop is all modern skyscrapers or colonials. Although you can ignore it, it is quite limiting for creativity.

[@elaineashdown4012]

Love that you do some British builds and love this one. Hello British simmers 🖐🖐

[@naqueyah6622]

Breath of fresh air you are ❤

[@CR-ip1il]

This is such a cool, retro look! Like it!

[@mirandaw.8158]

I love this build :) ! We almost bought a home like this in the netherlands, makes me think about it right away. Nicely done, the floorplan was almost the same as that house :) !

[@Starrynightcore123]

Personally I’d have the sofa right in front of the telly otherwise to watch the telly you’ll be twisting your neck all the time, and the dining table downstairs otherwise you’ll have to carry the plate of dinner upstairs
