Building a SWEDISH HOUSE Using GOOGLE EARTH | The Sims 4

[@nh7295-c9i]

OK so I saw you were building in Sweden and thought, oh this will be cool and then it turns out you're building a house a TEN MIN DRIVE FROM WHERE I LIVE!! The beach, Ora, is my absolute favourite spot. The water is beautiful to swim in during the summer and the beach is always pretty quiet because, well, it's quiet up here 😄 gorgeous build as usual x

[@bobmcsnark]

I did not expect him to find a place in my own county(though I live outside Sandviken pretty far away) and so close to my hometown (Sundsvall). I expected something from far north or far south!

[@mjewrites]

The world in the Life & Death pack is supposed to be inspired by Romania, it would be so cool if you did a Google earth build from there!

[@iulianac3275]

Yess!

[@IsidorTheNordicGuy]

Swedish man here, you did very good 😊

[@Wittra]

Oh this was an absolute delight! The only thing you forgot was a barbecue, none of us believe in god anymore, we find our salvation through half burnt burgers instead 😌 And the red color IS super common, especially up north. Since I am from up north, I personally find Moonwood Mill to be the most ‘at home’-world, but I’m guessing your reference image might be from the middle of Sweden? North of Stockholm, but south of Umeå? Multigenerational summer (and winter) houses are also very common, usually the main house was built first, but then other little cabins has been added on as time’s gone by, so in most of them there would be at least one bedroom in what we call the “big cabin”. Calling it the bedroom house wasn’t far off, we say the “sleep cabin”. The sleep cabins are often far more rustic than the big cabin, and a lot of them lack running water - you just go around the corner to do your wee’s. Some of my absolute fondest teenage memories are from sleeping cabins, we used to stay up all night playing cards and talking shit (lost my virginity in one as well, but that might be TMI 😂). Lastly, that exact checkered pillow exists in the every Swedish house there is. Genius. Great build, as always, and such a nostalgia trip. Thank you ❤️

[@Jassibeanx]

as a swedish girlie i must laugh at the fact that you picked the most random house in all of sweden 🤭 there’s so many more picturesque houses here but i’m sure you’ll build something amazing as always! exited to sit down with a cup of tea and watch

[@macidien]

Not Sweden, but close neighbour Finland fan here! 🫡 This was beautiful build as always, felt very much like home!

[@Ahdrianos]

I think you’d really like the town of Visby in Sweden, it’s full of ruins!

[@elerawiel]

i love that you picked the most random spot in the whole of Sweden 😅

[@Amiharah]

Oh! You made my day! As a swede I love this! Swedens countryside is magical! But there’s so many more old style cottages that are more true than this. This style of house is more a standard summer house kind of vibe. Beautiful build tho ❤

[@Amiharah]

@@elisesumpter yes or its a family owned kind of summer house that stays in the family for generations.

[@thesimified]

Love this build. I’m a huge fan of the Scandinavian style. Such a cute little red home. Well done! 👌🏻 LOVE the flower beds!

[@hijlaa]

Pretty much the whole of the island in Windenburg is Swedish houses in my game and I´m not even Swedish. 🤭You´ll probably never get to it or even want to, but you should definitely go to Google Streetview/earth in Griendtsveen, the Netherlands. Dutch architecture that isn´t your typical canal house at all. The entire village is a monument and not a single tourist even goes there. It´s bliss. 🤩

[@discoballdarling]

The way you terrain paint scratches my brain in the best way

[@ronniemokeev3322]

This kind of thing makes me wish there were more scandinavian options for s4. The game has so much other stuff but something that feels so basic is missing and it makes things tough sometimes.

[@sarahnicole6944]

I think Devon is my new favorite builder! I love the detail!

[@sofialauffsmcconnochie3293]

Well done! From someone living in a lovely little cabin in the woods in the north of Sweden. Our's is a bit older than the one you're inspired by, but the style is similar.

[@RobLobb321]

Obsessed with Jonna Jinton ❤ and as someone who is not Swedish but speaks it and travels there a couple times a year and is actively trying to move from the US to Stockholm, I’m obsessed with this video 😍

[@klarajohansson7872]

As a Swede, you did this such justice! Even the music feels like an old Swedish folk song, LOVE IT!

[@firefallfly]

Another swede here, beautiful build. Really captured the swedish summer feel, both with the build and the music as well!

[@NillanNilsson]

Oh yes, the music! My mind went straight to Helen Torsgården 😄

[@Louiseacacia]

Loved the build! ♥️ Since we’re in Scandinavia, old traditional Norwegian houses are soooo cool! And the interior is really interesting! A lot of patterns, like intricate woodcarvings but also painted floral prints. I would love to see that in the sims 😍☺️

[@lauraogden3975]

JustNoraGaming is a sims 4 KZbinr from Norway, and she built some Norwegian homes, starting from the older style cabins with grass on the roof to more modern builds. She uses the rosemaling that you mentioned :)

[@Louiseacacia]

@@lauraogden3975 that’s so cool! I will definitely watch that video! Thank you ☺️

[@aliz4467]

Jonna Jinton is one of my favorite channels! Her vids are so pretty they make me cry sometimes. They are so therapeutic.

[@mollyandersson1070]

Happy to see a Swedish build!!! Looks great! The “bedroom house” is typically called a sovstuga which translates to “sleeping cabin”, and it’s very normal for especially summer houses to have a main house and one or more sovstugor! Typically because people begin with a lot with the main house and then expand through the years! Also a fun side note, one of the songs which played during the speed build part is the intro song (or very similar) used by a famous Swedish KZbinr who lives on a very picturesque Swedish farm, so good choice!

[@Jassibeanx]

love the music in this so much 🥹

[@vingedheart]

Just a little info here: "The natural pigment from the Falun mines gives the paint its unique look. Most traditional Swedish red paints are affected by sunlight, and red paints are particularly sensitive in this respect. But Falu Rödfärg retains its beautiful shade year after year." Love your Swedish cottage. I live just 15 mins over the ocean from Sweden, and have been there many times - you did really well! Very Swedish vibe. (Love the trellis there). And yes; I got my daily does of Aden - just what I needed to keep the peace in my heart.

Goodbye 👋☺

[@wayawuffin]

your google earth series is my absolute favorite, thank you for a new installment!! 💖✨

[@notjunie]

as a northern norwegian person who has spent many summers in sweden, this feels very familiar and as always looks absolutely lovely! those bedrooms will be downright _freezing_ in winter without at least a radiator, though, but at least there are rugs everywhere so you don't immediately freeze your toes off lol! (unless you have the luxury of underfloor heating, that is... though that full drawer of 'ull lester' you've been gifted every winter since you were born should also suffice haha)

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

Clicked on this so fast! It's my dream to buy a little Swedish cottage in the forest and live off of the land. Hopefully will make that dream come true sooner than later! ❤ (Also, Jonna Jinton has been a huge inspiration to me over the years. I hope to one day make videos as beautiful as hers!)

[@IsidorTheNordicGuy]

Me too! Doing everything in my power to fulfill that dream 😊

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

@@IsidorTheNordicGuy Wishing the both for the two of us! 🥰

[@lady12_valve]

Working on my brothers car, changing the alternator and my favorite voice in all of KZbin. The only voice that I can have playing in my ears for hours even if I’ve already watched a video. You’re perfection Aden! Thank you for being wonderful and allowing us to see a glimpse of your creative mind! 🤘🏼

[@adrianna_n]

The swedish house, the area you've showed from google earth and the music gives me a massive "Unravel" feel, a very cute game !

[@strick405]

I grew up in the state of Minnesota USA and when I saw the lake and road it looked like home. Thoroughly enjoyed this build beginning to end (but I did peak a bit when Aden laid that hall runner - lovely rug). Am loving this series.

[@ElleMyche]

All the neutral tones make this house feel very serene and relaxing.

[@mjewrites]

50 minute Devon build oh hell yeah

[@naamaihminen8686]

Lovely build Aden, very homey. For more accuracy the outside sauna should have a chimney and a solid wooden door. Think you captured the swedish essence in the houses though!

[@wickedlilome]

Hi there! Swedish person here! Beautiful build as usual 😊 and yes l follow Jonna too. Love her videos. Very peaceful ❤

[@christinajackson-smith]

This is so gorgeous. The speedplay of landscaping had me mesmerized.

[@kenzielogic9405]

You make building and decorating look so effortless and it inspires me so much. Then I jump into world and try my hand, looking for all the world like an ADHD squirrel on crack zoomed through, dropping stuff all willynilly. I watch you decorate and sit here thinking "Well of course, that just makes sense" yet get into world and think "Umm....now what?" Can you just come flop down all the stuff I should use, and do decor groupings for me, kthnx! :)

[@Krigsfilosofi]

This build is really bringing me some intense and lovely nostalgia. You really nailed this, Aden ~ ❤

[@jupiterthree5228]

I knew as soon as I saw the reference imagine your build would have a striped lawn. Striped lawns are so satisfying to look at, even in the Sims.

[@sidemenlol]

Love this! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️

[@Lizannsytan]

I always look forward to your videos every week and especially on Tuesdays. Yesterday was a speed build and I got to hear your voice and I was happy. Lol! But today You're on video and I was like "heeeyyyy" it felt like seeing a friend you haven't seen in a long time and you're just happy to see them again. That's how I feel. Thank you for consistently showing up. I appreciate you.

[@karolinitortellini]

A swedish dream! Love it! 🇸🇪

[@drvinipereira]

Probably my favourite of this series. Great work!

[@ECCF1990]

I'm saving this video for tomorrow but I can tell just from the thumbnail that you did good! Looks just like the houses here in Sweden! Falu red paint is the bees knees!!!

[@tarabradford1848]

How exciting, someone else who knows of Jonna Jinton! She is such a lovely woman and her kulning is ethereal.

[@laurenhexes]

Nearly an hour long video? Yes please

[@linnledin]

I love Jonna! I have several of her jewelry as well :D I didn't know she was a sims fan.. But I love her rural area. Mine is more in te thick of the cities, so I love watching her videos too.. it reminds me of my childhood when I went up north as well to visit family! Exciting to hear you watch her too!

[@Amiharah]

What’s her channel?

[@GokuLuvur]

I love the kitchen/dining/living space! I'd stay in that area aaaall dayy!

[@heatherfoofoo]

I could watch you terrain paint all day. Fantastic build as always. I want to go there now.

[@jennysteven2409]

“Hit me with your best shot!! I don’t know where that came from” Aden you have me in tears. When your brain just wants to randomly to hit out with a song 😂

[@jinty6555]

Please build a Glasgow tenement or another council block 🙏

[@Oktopia]

I'm from Norway and my uncle bought a place like this for summer vacations in southwestern Sweden. It really looks similar. -Very cool.

[@johncena-px9xi]

I’m so glad you love Jona too! That’s amazing! I absolutely adore this style of architecture-those Swedish vibes are just perfect.❤❤

[@LIALIVEE]

This has to be one of my favorite build you ever done, I love it!

[@cassy921]

This has to go on my favorite builds by Aden list . Beautiful build well done!

[@alisakumm9165]

Oh yeah, I love Jonna, too! Her videos, her art, her music, all of it is just so mystical! ❄ She seems to me like a nordic nature spirit sometimes: gentle, fragile, beautiful, but also powerful in body, soul, and mind. Whoever has never seen any video of hers: Look her up!

[@anpe4970]

This feels like a Swedish summer house for sure. For those older Ummer houses having a building with extra bedrooms is pretty common.

[@lorrainethomas241]

I thought of Jonna's house when you started building (though hers is deeper in the forest.) Love her.

[@lealarsen2017]

love this build. i am from denmark so when you build there i hope you look at some of the houses in odense and skagen. odense is a old city and the yellow house where hc anderson lived (H.C. Andersen Haven 1, 5000 Odense C) it is a typical danish style house from the past. i would love to see you build that. because it is a corner house that i really love. you might even be able to find HC aderson as a sim you can add for playtesting. also Nyhavn in cph witch has the famous row of houses in different colors. but our palaces is also amazing, really old red brick style. Roskilde is another amazing and old city known for Vikings and one of the oldest city in denmark.

[@Flisfia]

oooh got so excited when i saw the title that i had to go watch this one even tho ive got a few of your videos to catch up on. Have been hoping youd do a red Swedish house since you started the google earth series. So nice to see you build something from my country 🥰

[@micib169]

7 minutes in and it’s already looking very Swedish 🤩 Edit: oh and also those white pillars on the corners are called ”vita knutar”, so this is a ”rött hus med vita knutar” which is very Swedish 😊

[@HannahStanden-b9h]

I love the styling of this one. Xx

[@EllaLemming]

another swede here, must say you did amazing

[@gayleafcb]

Love the google earth series but I will share my mindset - I hear google earth series, get very excited then realise you've not visited my country this time and momentarily let out a very sad sigh, then get all excited again about visiting another country! This build is amazing, absolutely love everything about it. 😍 I have to admit to being absolutely mesmerised when you do the landscaping speed build part. I have learned so much watching and my landscaping has improved so much just watching you. They way you put it all together is just amazing, it always looks so natural. This is probably my favourite of your series, love seeing all the different places.

[@Zerapheena]

I’m from the very south of Sweden so the architecture is a bit different here, but this looks very classic Swedish to me! ☺️ It takes me back to when I was a child and all the summers I spent in our summer house ❤️

-As a Norwegian I must say I am deeply offended by this video (for legal reasons this is a joke)

[@AkinaLOL]

I was so happy to see someone finally building a real, red, swedish house in the Sims. But then we get to the scandi inside, which (I'm sorry) makes me puke by now, it's so over used. That is not what most swedish houses look like inside. It's a trend I really don't like. Nothing against your skill at building, I just wanted the real deal for once but everyone goes scandi.

[@Weedsprouts]

*grin* my goodness, I'm only eleven minutes in and as per usual with your builds--I already want to live here. lol!
