grimy southern gothic home ⛪the sims 4: long play with commentary pt.1

[@Ultrajay12345]

And I stiiiiiiill call home, that house in Strangerville

[@aluhhsim]

PLS😭😭😭🫶🫶

[@nosffy]

ethel cain long ts4 build??? say no more i'm sold 😭😭😭

[@aluhhsim]

YAY😊

[@keke414]

Ethel Cain and sims we see eachotha

[@sabrinaaaaokk]

real

[@ellels7236]

youre very sweet and considerate to worry about using dlc content, but even if its just a bin (what you're talking about in the video!) you should feel free to use it without guilt, you paid for it and should get your moneys worth! otherwise you'll never use it! its an easy switch out in any case if people don't have it and download the build :)

[@aluhhsim]

awe this is so so reassuring thank you🥺

[@camibeari]

i love ethel cain sm her songs n storytelling are so good

[@aluhhsim]

IKR i literally did a whole school project on her - i am obsessed🙈

[@SophieHashemii]

as someone who lives in the middle of nowhere in the south, this is pretty accurate. besides the fans on the porch. thats more suburban richie-rich

[@gengolds887]

I will say while this house is southern gothic, Nebraska is not considered the south lol. I am from Mississippi so I can 100% say you nailed the aesthetic! Keep up the good work🤍

[@aluhhsim]

hehe thank you!! i gotta do some actual research on the places i talk about, i know nothing of american geography LOL

[@eminempreg]

@@aluhhsim lemme just say even you do end up researching american geography. just know some states youll never get right regardless of what you call it. (from a southerner/midwesterner cuz no one can agree on where it is) Basically most people see the area from Texas to the east coast as the south. And then all the super southern coastal states are the true deep south

[@pithygrapefruit]

@@eminempreg only a tiny fraction of Texas is considered southern from my east coast perspective. Other parts are considered the Southwest. I feel like Tx kinda has its own identity. More of a transition state than anything. Even the people don’t call themselves Southerners. They say they’re Texan and that Texas is Texas. 😂

[@insertname1857]

i mean, to my new yorker self nebraska might as well be the south. its like... southern midwest

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Nebraska is the Great (or not so great) Plains. One of my great grandfolks was born in NB.

[@tr4sh.r4t]

This is hitting a little too close to home lol, I can smell the musty carpet and hear the rickety AC unit just looking at this build, great job!

[@aluhhsim]

awe thank you!!!

[@lilacfields]

strangerville def gives more like nevada and arizona not southern at all but love the build it’s great😭 this would eat in glimmerbrook maybe bcs glimmerbrook kinda gives appalachia and this house would fit in perfectlyyyy

[@eminempreg]

Magnolia Promenade (i think thats the name watch me be so wrong) seems a bit southern to me. Like a very sanitized Lousiana. Mainly with the architecture.

[@lilacfields]

@@eminempreg yesss i agree magnolia promenade is more like gulf coast south. i just think this build is more appalachia south 🤔 i’m from georgia but my family is from kentucky and this gives north ga + kentucky to me,, like a little gothic home in the mountains and hills. kinda mystical and creepy

[@insertname1857]

i agree this house is very appalachia but glimmerbrook is NAWT at all. its very northern

[@lilacfields]

@@insertname1857 i do not have the realm of magic pack i’ve only seen others play with it so you’re probably right

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

I live in the Mojave (SoCA, NV and AZ are the Mojave) and there is more grass in Strangerville than here. In most places grass is even banned due to water restrictions..

[@user-ec2ms4ct2z]

love this!! if you wanted some extra color & culture on the outside you could totally do the porch ceiling a dull blue, we call it haint blue in the deep south and it's meant to ward off spirits from coming inside our homes

[@aluhhsim]

omg i love that!!! thank you for the tip :)

[@bloomingsims1268]

I love this comment so much

[@LaenKay]

This is making me so nostalgic, reminds me of the older homes I can find in abundance here in the Midwest, and have lived in growing up. I know that there ain’t a single LED lightbulb in that house. Wish sims had a feature to make floors uneven, it’d be more accurate to life… but the fact that just by watching the exterior be built I can already hear the creaking floorboards and smell something mildewy in the mud room is a testament to how much care has been put into this build. It’s inspiring me a great deal to build a house like the ones I grew up in, even though I’ve never successfully played the sims before 😂

[@AaronL0905]

Sometimes people make such insanely good builds they make me feel like I started building yesterday This is gorgeous

[@aluhhsim]

AWE tysm🥹

[@sierah5156]

I js wanted to say that I have intense nighttime anxiety and your videos help me soo much 😭 even if I’m asleep for half of the video, your voice and your builds are just so calming!!

[@aluhhsim]

awe im so happy they help, that's exactly how i hoped theyd be used🩷

[@cudedoingthings8786]

omg, this is my first time watching a real time sims4 build video and i cant believe the work you put just for the exterior&landscaping. now i know why i suck at landscaping lmao. i love the vibes btw

[@aluhhsim]

awe haha! landscaping is one of my fave parts so i tend to get carried away dw LOL

[@aphantaxia]

Your voice sounds so ASMR-y. It's really nice to listen to in the background while doing work! Also love how the build went. I've never heard of Southern Gothic aesthetic but it's slowly starting to become a fave of mine thanks to you!!

[@aluhhsim]

haha glad to give u a new fave!! thanks for the support!

[@alicedeer6375]

This honestly gives louisiana vibes. I grew up there and a lot of houses had this vibe.

[@ladygrimm8155]

A long sims build, a soft commentary, excellent aesthetic, this is the perfect channel to find on accident !

[@aluhhsim]

aw thank u :)

[@insertname1857]

i looove southern gothic. it feels both nostalgic and comfy and also distressing and uncomfy at the same time. also love the vibes of your other builds too!! grungey and run down but still cozy and lived in

[@aliciabravo8746]

1. ceiling fans on porches in america are only common if u live in a gated communitiy or some shit lol 2. if ur basing "southern gothic" on the region of america called the south, there would not be cacti outside the house. at least, not naturally i love the build

[@skiesandstardust]

omg you’ve just changed my life by doing the shift+the arrow on the roof overhang on one side. literally blew my mind

[@megs8910]

I LOVE. THIS. BUILD. I don’t mind watching speed builds, but I enjoy watching these types of builds more so. I love hearing the creative process of the builder, and you get that on speed builds, but it’s so fast, I don’t feel like I have time to enjoy it. Please keep making these types of builds!! They’re great! 😁👍🏻

[@aluhhsim]

awe thank you!!! and more longplays will definitely be coming:)

[@atm91]

Love the long plays! Can you add shots of the finished rooms or just a quick walk through at the end! It’s so cool and you put so much work into it, I want to admire it altogether!

[@aluhhsim]

i find screenshots so tedious but ill definitely try out a walk through in my next one :)

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Fans are not not common on porches in the US southwest, unless they are just there for aesthetics. We have 3 inside our house. The porch fans would literally only be blowing the 112F air around, like a convection oven. Once you hit 90F the "wind in your face" becomes a blow drier, and helicopters cannot fly because the air is not dense enough due to the low humidity. A German tourist on a motorcycle passed away in DeathValley CA (112F that morning and below sea level) back in August, and his friend had to be transported all the way to LasVegas NV (3-4 hours) due to heat stroke. That took the US park service rangers to ice the friend down (in a body bag to cool him off) then the Inyo County volunteer rescue service ambulance to transport him 2-ish hours across the NV border to the closest hospital (higher elevation, so only 89F that morning), in Nye County NV. The rangers had already called a military helicopter from Nellis AFB in LasVegas (also 89F) which is in Clark County NV, to meet the patient at the small hospital in Nye county. That Nye county hospital has a helipad on the roof, so they stabilized him there, and then the military rescue flew (another hour) him to a bigger hospital in LasVegas. Very few people in the desert hang out on thier porch in a rocking chair in the heat, which is most of the year. So it took the US park service, the US military, two states CA, NV, two hospitals (both in NV) and three counties (Inyo CA, Nye and Clark NV) to rescue one heat stroke patient in the bleeding heat. Rescuers out here in the Mojave (and the other deserts in the US) are very dedicated.

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Laminate flooring isn't always fake. Sometimes it is just a very thin layer of real wood that is glued (hence the term "laminate or veneer") to the subfloor, since real wood planks is really expensive. We use the term laminate more often in the US.

[@Tinysnail_0]

This is my new favourite KZbin content. I’ve been waiting for someone to start sims long plays for ages ❤️

[@aluhhsim]

eee glad to be of service!!!🙈

[@Imreallyboredsick]

This was such a cozy and relaxing video. I've been playing the sims for a few years now but still don't know how to build so hopefully this video helps.

[@greerisnotcool]

ETHEL CAIN MENTIONED RAHHHH

[@aluhhsim]

RAHHHH😋

[@dripple346]

RAHHHH

[@briannam.982]

as a Mississippian ur spot on and I love the attention to detail

[@artlouvre]

I get so excited when I open KZbin before bed and your video is ready to go on my home page💕 I looove the long plays so much, you’ve inspired me to improve my building too! This was such a good build I love Ethel!

[@aluhhsim]

awe this is so sweet tysm🩷🫶

[@heartboba]

ik other people don't like the mouse clicks but i loveeee them and your voice its asmr for me 🤍

[@aluhhsim]

awe thank u!!!

[@chatterbox5928]

My autoplay brought me here half asleep and barely conscious of what was in my ears... It took me a solid minute to figure out you were doing a realtime sims build based off audio alone, but what caught my ear originally was your voice. It is sooo soothing. Listening to you describe your building process and deciding between what you wanted to do was the perfect de-stresser post 11-hour shift. Thank you so much for this video!! You've got a new subscriber in me. 💓

[@aluhhsim]

awe welcome im glad you enjoyed it so much!🧡

[@hailey904]

i LOVE watching these when i build

[@aluhhsim]

hehe perfect!!

[@sazzysari]

2:21:34 is exactly what i was looking for, ur voice is so calm and relaxing

[@aluhhsim]

awe perfect!! thank u😊

[@marginannotates]

New subscriber. And a newbie to sims. I really liked your quality of build and detail. You’re super efficient and I can tell you’re confident in your abilities and the gameplay. Glad to be here, and your voice is so soothing 💚🙃

[@aluhhsim]

awe u are so sweet thank you!

[@mimit6202]

Never played sims in my life but your voice is SO nice to listen to!!

[@perksofbeingme98]

I just found your channel and fell asleep to this video last night bc your voice is so calming!! I had to come back today to finish watching because I loved this build. Very accurate to southern country homes. It reminded me of my extended family. Amazing job!!

[@aluhhsim]

aw thank u thank u!!!

[@le0mnsqad]

it’s so darling ❤

[@RonnieC319]

Love another long build!! If you're looking for decorative roof trims, For Rent has a couple really pretty ones. Idk if they'd necessarily fit this build, but maybe check them out? Adore the vibes of the home!

[@aluhhsim]

i have seen those they look so pretty!! i just dont have for rent sadly :(

[@JokersD0ll]

This was super relaxing- like asmr!

[@mikaa_ob]

I'm so excited for another long play!!☺

[@aluhhsim]

yipee!!😋

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Chimneys aren't common in the desert, it is too dry (fire hazard) and it is way too hot from late March to late October to even justify having one. I think Strangerville is supposed to be NewMexico inspired, and that is the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts.

[@strawberry-cz8ye]

STOOPP I ALWAYS LISTEN TO ETHEL WHILE I BUILD

[@snedwetthebed]

the paper wood sheets are veneer! veneers are a dental thing aswell but its the same idea, essentially just putting something (despite not being the authentic) over another to make it "prettier" :D

[@GaaraKazekage16]

I'm at the part where you're looking for a word for faux wood paneling. Google says veneer or laminate but now I really want to know the word you were looking for!

[@aluhhsim]

veneer is what i was looking for ty!! i only hesitated bc people get "veneers" which are like fake teeth so i got confused lol

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Many houses in the southwestern US are either manufactured houses (rectangles) or mission style, brick is really rare out here. The mission style are usually lighter colored with terra cotta colored roofs etc. Manufactured can be any color. There is one up the road that is olive/military green, and the one next to it is black. Another one farther off is bright pink, but most are actually lighter in color because of the heat. Dark colored houses usually become ovens (absorb heat) and are harder on the AC units, lighter colored houses (reflect heat) are easier.

[@fhdteddymaster2895]

I used this video to go through some lectures, it was great for that!

[@helllllloworld]

this has been a comfort vid for me lol but omg the mouse clicks 😭😭

[@aluhhsim]

[@小倉男]

[@aluhhsim]

awe🥺

[@ghosty8193]

I LOVE the concept of Strangeville, and even building there but we need more lots 😭😭I love filling my worlds with multi-functional lots and making detailed builds and adding tons of stuff to my worlds but some worlds don't have enough lots to do so

[@aluhhsim]

right its so much fun!! 🧡

[@Maria-ji5kc]

this was such a cozy video! loved the concept and your voice is so relaxing

[@heyitsmaira9964]

Omg your videos are so therapeutic, I watched the entire video and I didn't ever realise how 3 hours passed 😅 you're amazing keep up these beautiful videos🌻

[@aluhhsim]

You're the best thank u!!

[@shark4shells]

I love these long plays so much, they’re great to fall asleep to, please keep doing them!! Also ur builds are gorgeous! 🩷

[@aluhhsim]

[@luna-li9fj]

I was looking for a video EXACTLY like this like three months ago omg

[@dorayaki9696]

idk why but in my head, ethel cain is living in copperdale

[@IMNOTHERE_BROKENHANDLE]

wait I can stay up all Night watching this.. FINALLY

[@Gene_Sims]

Very cool build ! I think it would be cool if at the end you did a first person walk thru to see the whole thing 😊

[@aluhhsim]

oh i love that idea! id definitely prefer that to screenshots - feels way less tedious :)

[@MrsAPreece]

love this, more spoopy builds please!! especially with the stuff they've released recently :)

[@aluhhsim]

hehe will try :)

[@ulta-violet-builds]

Your voice is literally so soothing!

[@aluhhsim]

awe thank you!

[@larissamarshall2139]

Came across this one on my home page. You have done such a great job conveying the Southern Gothic look, even though I have never heard of Ethel Cain. It was interesting to see your thought process throughout the build, you had such good attention to detail. Hope you have a good week. 🙂

[@gabaheyy]

This is soooo relaxing

[@Helena-ep6xb]

Please never stop these! You are basically the only person i comment on and watch these days!!!

[@aluhhsim]

AWE too sweet TY!

[@lulu_ladybug]

No firepits in the desert, that's how wildfires start out here.

[@moffie5345]

I really loved this, you are such a good story teller :)

[@carrerado]

yayy finally a southern gothic house and ethel cain!

[@lochness7419]

rlly loving this !!!! The vibe is soososo cool. By placing this build in strangerville specifically I think you've almost created (and this is such a specific Look/feel that probably only pertains to me) an almost Eastern Washington Gothic feel? I've spent a lot of time in houses like This in Eastern Washington and i really dig it. Unintentional but it really really works for me I'm a big fan ^_^ 🧡

[@aluhhsim]

😊😊

[@Suziie_25]

your voice is so calming

[@laurenluker5450]

This is my first time watching and I love your voice and gameplay style! Newest channel to obsess over😍

YAYYYY another long play ✨💕🫶🏼

[@heartboba]

oh and the ceiling fans on the porch are pretty common in the south where i live and it's far from a rich community... i think it looks accurate

[@laneymiller4648]

NEBRASKA MENTION LETS GOOOOOO

[@aluhhsim]

😋😋

[@re_lamb]

I love a good southern gothic

[@aluhhsim]

u and me both:$

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Lots of the roofs in the desert are corrugated metal.

[@abbycrandall5135]

I make the same sound with my mouth as I'm thinking. Also, this house gives me Children of the Corn vibes. I live 10 minutes where the movie was made. Whiting, Iowa I am almost certain.

[@wwhjams]

I love watching these as I play sims myself (: Newer subscriber, happy to be here, thanks for all your content!

[@aluhhsim]

awe ofc! welcome!!!

[@BookloverFantasy92]

Funny thing, the carpet is like my house, old dirty looking beige, and in the dining room as well. Haha

[@meow-sr2bl]

Struggling with spandrels and friezes takes up 40% of my time spent on the sims4

[@aluhhsim]

so real😭

[@hxxlls]

you said “southern gothic” and i immediately thought “ethel cain?”

[@aluhhsim]

great minds think alike!

[@hxxlls]

@@aluhhsim they really do

[@pandyboo]

i love your builds!!

[@aluhhsim]

thank u thank u!!

YES LOVE TO HEAR IT!!

[@Venusc0res]

3 hours build? ethel cain? say no more you got my attention

[@cronchmyscronch6364]

I'm sorry but was no one gonna tell me the shift comand with the one side of the roof?? loved the build, got momentarily taken out when you did that- been playing for Years & I'm still learning how to play

[@aluhhsim]

LOL that still happens to me, did u know u can hold alt and freely move your roof height - thats the one that had me gasping in shock🙂‍↕️

[@cronchmyscronch6364]

Omg roofing has never been easier- lol

[@Ambzz]

and to curve the roof (how she was talking about with the ball things) it’s Shift + C for them to show up

[@bunnystrawb]

Amazing :D
