I renovated this HUGE apartment in The Sims 4

[@MiriamStrawberries]

Practically every house and appartment in Finland has their own sauna. That's considered as a norm here, not as a luxury, we've always had them.

[@hannahhill7478]

damn, I'm moving there

[@silkendog]

yep! we even have more saunas than people par capita(or something like that) xD

[@deligracy]

@@hannahhill7478 same

[@deligracy]

thats wild! Are they Infared? Or steam?

[@Camillassofia]

@@deligracyelectric on apartments and wooden in single houses. Both u throw water on so steam. 👌

[@EL-wd8kw]

Not me screaming for you to use the book nook kit shelves for the hallway to get the customized floor to ceiling look 😂

[@a.mischa]

Saaaame lol

[@deligracy]

I'm kicking myself now

[@M1tsuka]

Same!!

[@chickenface2348]

I would say saunas are more like Finnish thing. We have them like in every home in Finland, even some small apartments.

[@nickboon1235]

Gotta move to finland then👀

[@elle0024]

Sweden and Norway too

[@eufaemia]

Most families in Sweden don't have their own sauna, but I suppose it's not uncommon, either. I think it's more common among newbuilts tbh. And maybe in the countryside.

[@NotTheTypicalFan]

It's true, almost in every Finnish home, in Sweden you usually put stuff in there, my mom put extra matresses in the sauna. Want to move to Finland one day.

[@deligracy]

amazing. I really want to see them in an apartment! Is it just because it gets so cold and less sunlight, to warm up?

[@twentysevenswans]

i love when you start talking about australia and how things are different there than in other places. australian lore

[@desireeluciano]

I love that too lol

[@SassyYazzy1212]

I am BAFFLED by the way she put the shower in to the wall so it looks like the shower head is actually coming out of the wall. Why have I never thought of this😱 I am playing the sims for almost 24 years. HOW.

[@loraelstad8941]

I knew about it, but it always seemed to me that the plain wall paint would get ruined IRL, which is the reason for the tiling being included in the shower itself. I may have done it if I was using a tile feature wall in that corner and didn’t like the tile in the shower object, though.

[@deligracy]

@@loraelstad8941 Yeah I usually use a wallpaper that is tiles or a convincing cement. Imagine a patterened wall paper XD

[@loraelstad8941]

@@deligracy I imagine it bubbling and peeling from water condensation. 🤣

[@blysimsie]

The terazzo flooring would be such a great addition to the base game

[@HAppytobeHer]

I’m from America(very close to Canada) and grew up in a very modest home that was built by Swedish immigrants in the 1940s. They made a sauna room in the basement and we loved it during the cold winters!

[@deligracy]

How good!

[@amandahough6182]

I actually love the dark hallway, it’s a very peaceful way to go to the bedrooms.

[@KaraNolting]

I only discovered your channel recently and I wish I'd found you earlier! Watching you build and decorate has taught me more in this past month than I'd known in the 23 years of Sims playing. Your tips and tricks have made the game so much easier and way more fun for me. Thank you, Deli!

[@deligracy]

Welcome! Glad you are enjoying the videos !

[@emilia7669]

In Sweden its not very common with saunas in your house, but in Finland it is!! Almost everyone has a sauna, and even apartments will have them in Finland😅

[@Wittra]

In the northern parts of Sweden saunas are very common. Not as common as they are in Finland, but we’re pretty close 😅

[@deligracy]

wow! Do you go in by yourself? Like a one person sauna? Or generally with others.

[@Sandied]

@@deligracy I rarely warm it up if I'm home alone, but yes, sometimes it's great to sit up there alone (sometimes even with a book). But if there are visitors, we always warm it up, especially if the guests are staying the night.

[@formacchiazza]

They’re pretty common in Sweden as well. And we go in with other people, all though we wear swimwear. Could never do it naked in just a towel 😅

[@EmelieGasslander]

We had a sauna in our house when I grew up and so did my grandmother and grandfather, in their house. South of Sweden.

[@AKA_Studios]

I really like the window/screen between the kitchen and living rooms

[@charleelakebean]

It looks like it would be opened for a party so the piano makes sense there

[@emiliacarlsson6986]

My experience growing up in sweden is that plenty of people had saunas in their houses. Also some apartment buildings have shared saunas. Not particularly fancy ones but wooden, dark, basement types. Finland is the top tier sauna country though, not gonna lie🧖‍♀️

[@tapierce6723]

I would love to see you do an industrial look to one of the builds you do!

[@deligracy]

Yeah we're due for an Industrial build !

[@prettylittlebloodsucker]

Yes! Or nautical/coastal would be super cute 😍

[@maddylauren]

@@prettylittlebloodsucker if you haven't checked it out yet, not too long ago she did a 3 townhome build and one of them was a blue coastal theme. It was sooo cute!

[@prettylittlebloodsucker]

@@maddylauren omg bye gonna watch it, thanks Bae 🫶🏽

[@hannahhill7478]

I love this! I would love to see some commercial builds like themed cafes and stuff!

I'm not a Starbucks fan myself; I prefer a smooth cup of coffee. I became a coffee snob when my daughter worked in a coffee shop (I didn't mean to, but you can't untaste what you've learned you don't have to. Yummm, Columbian.

[@miniminou8333]

I'm german, saunas are not as popular as in finland here. But my parents built one themselves in the backyard because my dad loves sauna and my grandparents have one in the basement. Both are by no means really wealthy, more like middle class or at the most upper middle class. But i don't know anyone else with a sauna at home lol.

[@deligracy]

That’s so cool they built one!

[@allieblithe]

deli!! im literally a few seconds into the video but oh my god you look so amazing! idk if its the sweater color, the hair, jewelry or what. but you look SO GOOD!! and GLOWING!!

[@ludwigetc]

We do have an old real sauna in our house in Sweden (or bastu as it's called in swedish) but it's used for storage since for as long as I can remember. And it's not very big. Saunas is more of a finnish thing tho I'd say, even if I think all the Nordic countries use and like them.

[@ShyntaeDemonista]

Grew up middle-class Swede in a pretty standard house (in the 80's and 90's). I'd say it's more of a Finnish thing to have a sauna, but we did have one..and it was awesome.

[@LinneaMejfeldt]

It is common in the northern part of Sweden (where I live) to have a sauna in your house. But it’s even more common in Finland, pretty sure they even have championships in sauna bathing there 😊 I myself have an infrared sauna in my house but that’s not very common. The standard is a kind of steam sauna where you throw water on hot rocks that sits on the “heater” (the old ones you heat like a fireplace with wood but the most common now is electric).

[@BeatrizSilva0594]

Actually, being a violinist myself, buying a newly made peofessional violin for 15,000$/ simoleons is a very good deal. If you want an old violin you can pay up to 10/50 times more. And I'm not even talking about the famous Stradivarius violins. So 15,000 is like a minimum for a professional violin

[@kate1812]

Deli with Earrings I can't live without custom content and Deli are we going to have a Frannie sticker

[@pips3067]

Now I know the name of my two favourite interior decoration styles, wabi sabi and japandi😊

[@梨-i5l]

When playing in these apartments, I found building the bedrooms either end and the shared spaces in the middle makes things a lot easier- plus less need for long hallways

[@M1tsuka]

This is amazing Deli, I really love the interior design! I live in Finland in a house, and we have two saunas. One electric inside and one wood-warmed at the other building. And in every apartment * i have lived (inc. 30m2 studio) has had a sauna :)

[@lizturnis6787]

Are you planning on redoing the apartments in Evergreen Harbor also?

[@PrinceML1]

Hands down one of my favorite apartment renovations! I love this style so much ❤ It's like, this is what I want my builds to look like but I can't, and you CAN! And also thank you for not using CC ! 🥰

[@fivesilvercoins]

I'm Swedish, and I've definitely been in several (middle class) homes here with saunas built in, and of course you'll always find one in places like public pools, etc., but it's not super common in homes where I live. In Finland, though, almost every home will have a sauna, including apartments.

[@deligracy]

Wow!

[@rebeccagrenertrojas931]

I’m from Sweden and I grew up with a sauna at home even though we weren’t rich☺️ We also do have them in apartment but the it would probably be the body corporates who would have a space in the complex where they have a sauna tenants could rent for a very small amount☺️

[@CherrieBlossom73]

That was a weird cut at 23:59 to 24...was curious which plants youd use but oh well i guess

[@Classicallytrainedautist]

I know the most expensive violin yet are called the strandivarius violin. It's damn expensive. Look it up if you'd like. Maybe they were inspired by that? Love the build btw!

[@loraelstad8941]

I definitely think they were inspired by the Stradivarius violins.

[@crystallancaster8562]

Hey Deli long time fan, could you please put all the apartment reno videos into a playlist 😭

[@MissHummingbird]

this looks like the best getaway home away from home❤ (very calming )by the way, the expansion of the curtains is a thing in real life. when you have smaller windows, you can make curtains go past to "make windows bigger" like how we use mirrors to expand space. Also love the direction towards the pantone of 2024💕🍑

[@MissHummingbird]

Also targets are not a thing in Canada either. they tried. they failed. went back to Walmart😂

[@agnieszkad6070]

Love this reno! Despite the hugeness of the apartment, you was able to create really cosy and comfy places and nooks there.

[@KaFu9904]

A lot of swedish houses have saunas but most people use them to hang laundry😂 I have a sauna in my childhood home that we use quite often during the winter but we use it to hang laundry too

[@luluuboop910]

I live in Germany and saunas are also decently common to have in your basement here, for me personally I know a lot of people that have one (my parents house, my bf’s parents house and both my aunts have one) here it’s more of a luxury to have a pool though

[@Sandied]

Saunas are actually way more common in Finland than in Sweden. Even most apartment building have their own communal sauna, if there isn't a sauna in every apartment. Some estimates are that there are over 3mil private saunas in Finland.

[@aiainsley]

deli I would looooove to download the save with sims in it!! I know it might take a million years but would you ever consider a san myshuno create a sim series?

grand pianos generally cost between $20,000 and $100,000 a used one can be around $5,000 if youre lucky idk what grand pianos are made of in ts4 but theyre either really cheaply made, or violins are somehow more complex

[@TheRealSim37]

(Sorry about the excessive amount of comments on this video) I have a soft foam-like mat in my kitchen. It's called a "Wellness Mat" if you're interested. It's really thick and cushiony under your feet, and the surface is really easy to clean. You just put some dish soap and warm water into something and just scrub it gently with a cloth. Also, when you're done, rinse it with water to get rid of the suds and leave it outside to dry. Takes no time to clean at all, and you only really need to clean it every two weeks. Also, I have a cork flooring in my kitchen and it looks really nice and is really soft and bouncy under your feet. Would defo recommend for your kitchen reno

[@sarahgood3291]

It’s wild to hear about the differences in shops/cafes! Target is the designated “stroll and shop overpriced Walmart items” 😂❤ Lots of Targets have a Starbucks inside too! Starbucks and Dunkin are largest in the NE US (or at least in Pgh).

[@werka_mug]

I’d love to see Deli decorate a hippie super maximalist house/apartment because she’s always so minimalistic (what I love, don’t get me wrong) but I’d just love to see a completely different style in Deli’s aesthetic though ❤️

They also tried make Starbucks happen in Brazil, but our bakeries kinda also work as coffee shops, and in the big cities they work 24/7. Also, we are every selective with our coffee, and people here usually think that coffee from the North sucks because it's not strong enough. They're just leaving the country and they never stood a chance ngl

[@nanania15]

[@loraelstad8941]

Hi 👋🏻 Deli. Really feeling this apartment! With so many rooms I figure it’s high end enough to have a sauna. Can confirm that a sauna in so many homes/apartments is highly a Finnish thing, from conversations about that very thing with a Finnish moderator for another chat in which I’m a regular. 👍🏻 I love the tones in the bedrooms & the yellow rug in the purple one matched up great with the smaller golden round pillow in center of the flanking ones on the bed. Not sure which bedroom is my favorite, as each seems to have its own mood. Maybe the more coastal looking one edges out the others, for me. I also love that the light colors weren’t overpowering thanks to the balancing grays. I’m probably a weird minority, but I’m actually really loving the kind of darkened hallway just as it is, even though I know others mentioned book nook stuff. It feels kind of like an epic museum corridor moment (especially with the classy, tasteful objects you used for decorations, which I somehow associate with richer apartments or homes. As if they don’t want harsh bright lights ruining their priceless artworks/artifacts. I also find it calming. Not sure why. Maybe my ancient ancestors lived in some nice caves. 😆 Any ideas for what you’ll move onto after all the apartment renos?

[@chelseamonne5146]

I live in Belgium and my grandpa-in-law worked in Volvo and they had a sauna at his work, which was pretty cool. But know they removed it because lots of people were not respectfull and left it dirty and broke stuff etc.

[@itschelseakay]

I’m still watching the build as I comment so you may say this already. I’m pretty sure everyone’s Pinterest is based on their previous searches, saves, and their personalized algorithm because recently I’ve been googling to see if it is possible to reset our algorithm. I love this build aesthetic and you are recreating it perfectly but it doesn’t show up at all on my feed 😩 Mine is perfectly tailored to me with boho, whimsical, cottage/fairy core, dark and moody library’s, Victorian and art deco posts. That is my exact aesthetic and I love my feed but I like to be exposed to new styles too.

[@PhireJoy]

Also, that Australian Kmart Target stuff is pretty interesting. Kmarts in America are trash. They are barely a step up from dollar stores. I don't even live near any Walmarts, so there are definitely no Kmarts. We have Targets which are considered your one stop shop.
