Join me as i take on the challenge of building a house using only the base game. With a limited selection of items and features, it's really going to be a true test of my building skills (and patience).

You’ve quickly become one of my favorite Sims KZbinrs, not only because of your skill and beautiful builds, but also because of your sense of humor! I don’t get to chuckle much on this side of KZbin

[@JustNoraGaming]

wait whatt thank you so so much!! i’m so glad you're enjoying my content💕🥹

[@nickynicks_]

@@JustNoraGaming No thank you!

[@Minifigsinmotion-3254]

I was looking to see what videos she had that weren’t using most of the packs. She must be stalking me Edit: Tysm Nora!! My comment has only ever been replied to a few times by KZbinrs so this means a lot

[@JustNoraGaming]

oh i am👀👀

[@primelover5920]

NO and literally 10 minutes before she uploaded 10k house my nan and me were watching some video of hers and she said how cool it would be to see a hobbit house CRAZY😭

[@JustNoraGaming]

I am stalking all of you

[@Eythenal0-0]

Yooo the pink palace from Coraline vibes! It looks amazing

It's Coraline actually and I noticed it right away from the thumbnail 😂❤

"Norway in trouble" "Oh it's a football match, they're always in trouble" I'M SCREAMING LMAO esp because i love the captain :)

[@JustNoraGaming]

HAHAHh alright the captain is actually good

[@echoeshadoe]

Im hue blind so i cant really tell if theres a slight difference in swatches. So there could be like 3 shades of brown in a room with the tiniest differences and I'd have no clue. I recently came across Noras channel and im in love woth her personality! So creative and unique! And really relatable for Sims building

[@JustNoraGaming]

oh that's really interesting actually, i had no idea hue color blindness was a thing! and thank you so much! That honestly means a lot🥹🥰

[@paulapenagomez6509]

You really should try to do a limited packs build with all the packs that have been given out for free since the basegame became free (jungle adventure, luxury party stuff, backyard stuff, romantic garden stuff, blooming blooms kit, my first pet stuff)

[@StoryGirl83]

13:27 I love your little “Whoops, I have no camera footage” person. Cute.

Fun fact bout you. You’re seriously entertaining and funny. I missed the whole decorating part because I was busy watching you and busting out laughing at your commentary. Love your content and your designs.

I feel you. I hate those icebreaker things. Next time, I think I'll say, "Fun fact: I hate coming up with fun facts." Congratulations on making base game look good.

[@JustNoraGaming]

hahah ouff i might say the same thing at my next fun fact session. and thank you so much!🥰💕

[@JustAndreaEdna]

I know it's weird but one of my pet peeves about Sims builds is the rugs being covered by furniture instead of prioritizing the walkway. That defeats the purpose of a rug. Thank you for another great video.

[@christinaz.271]

I'm pressing like before watching the video because I know that the build is gonna be amazing!

oh that's a big gamble right there hahah, it could be horrible (but thank you💕🥹)

thank you for the video!! i really enjoyed watching the vibe and style of this house gradually coming together and the final result is so good too😽💖 also the frustration of curve walls, the broken roof/platform situation, and the unmatched wood swatch is sooooo relatable.

You're just sooo good at decors and clutters. Even though it's called clutters but i find yours very harmoniously placed and that's what makes a room feels alive, full of story, as if someone had actually spend their life in it. I really wish i could decorate like you but i need to work on my patience first for that lol

HAHA you talking about the news in norway reminds me of when my ex bf and me used to look at the news in our home towns together, (he was from Norway im from the USA) and his news was always so uneventful and funny in comparison to the news in the US. His would be about a store closing down or a moose walking in the street or something, while mine would be about shootings or murders 😭

[@JustNoraGaming]

HAHAHh that is actually so hilarious😭 I mean-- the MAIN news in Norway today is about the nice weather we might be getting next week💀

You know whats worse? I went to a few different colleges and every single new teacher at the start of the year did that. Fun fact? Everyone pretty much said the same thing in every class lol But that's not the worst thing... The worst thing is that we had to do some team building exercises (or whatever they are called) BEFORE THE SCHOOLYEAR ACTUALLY STARTED... So you're there doing sports or something with your classmates that you haven't even met before yet... Yea I usually called in sick for those.

[@JustNoraGaming]

OMG that sounds like a complete nightmare!😭 No one could force me to do team building exercises with strangers, i would have just dropped out.

You are so brave for having round walls as a first thought, we got to respect that😂😂 I really enjoy the way you decorate, brings so much life to the build!❤ Also, I would welcome some rain over here, it has been beautiful sunny days, but my emo self gets sad when doesn't rain for too long😂 Idk if it's a useful info or not, but there is a way to not use tool mod. Some people place the rocks in the basement and then raise until it is visible outside. Pretty much you can do that with any object as far as I'm aware (saw some custom sinks done that way with counters)

[@JustNoraGaming]

Thank you so much!💗🥰 idk where i got the confidence to start with round walls hahahh. Oh boi, do i have the offer of a lifetime for your emo self: ✨Norway✨ Constant rain and 0-5 hours of sunlight in the wintertime hahahh Yes!

Currently selling my soul to you for this awesome build, your videos are so fun and wonderful company so that i don't die of boredom during chores🎉 Also, this was such a fun build! I loved the rocks and the little pond and it was so very adorable ❤ Maybe the lore for this house is again, a single parent to two rambunctious kids, who works as a full time artist but with old traditional paints or some such and thus needs a separate room to keep the kids from playing in the possibly toxic paints. And because the house is an heirloom, they don't want to do big renovations to get a new room, so they'll just have to wait until their twins are older and able to take care of themselves before they move their studio to an apartment and come home to their babies ❤❤❤ (Ps - sorry for any typos, despite my best efforts, i am not a good proofreader unless 7 days have passed, esp not when running on 5 hours of sleep 😅)
