I built a historically accurate Victorian home in The Sims 4

[@ladysimsalot5199]

we are here for it and we STAN the historical accuracy babes

[@maymetters9633]

Absolutely 😌

[@elisak7466]

I really enjoyed that plumbella was telling us some history about the houses in England during the Victorian era. I have always been interested in history like how everything was done in the past. If plumbella had a channel just dedicated to history I would watch it

[@plumiplum]

agree!

[@MissHummingbird]

I would totally watch that!!

[@sandraganadi7896]

Yep, Plumbela is very good at explaining history. I love this content it is not just watching a speed build but I am actually learning things as well. Well done babe.

[@illy_bee3376]

You should check out sham and bean. She has a whole series on building historical homes in the sims while explaining the house’s history.

[@kikibunni]

i would love to see a build of those absurdly extravagant tuscan-style mcmansions from the 90s and 2000s. i would love to know why these semi-wealthy people wanted to live in an olive garden

[@nixienooo]

Kid me thought that was the peak of interior design lol

[@Qtopian]

@@nixienooo it still is let’s be honest. So homey hehe

[@princessbanannahammock3925]

@kikibunni I found a floorplan recently of one of those houses and in the basement they had a hallway (I think that was off the home theater) that had a painted mural of a street.of little shops, and they had a real life street light, like one of the old gas lantern looking ones, sitting in the hall to add a 3d element. Who has that kind of money?! And why?! Hahaha

[@nixienooo]

@@princessbanannahammock3925 usually it’s for patients with Alzheimer’s to have some sort of normalcy while in the hospital

[@thedreamer4761]

No offence but that is just an Italian style villa not olive garden.

[@ryanmurphy3231]

A Sims video that doubles as a history lesson is the thing I never knew I needed

[@Qtopian]

Primitive 18th century cottage next? Id love a cottage autumnal build but that actually reflects the time-period and not updated cottagecore style! Or even an 18th century french chateau or english manor house would be super cool! Love this build :)

[@tereasia]

That sounds nice

[@lindadeuville1483]

This is my favorite era for buildings. There's nothing quite like them.

[@HattieMcDanielonaMoon]

They built all the best buildings during that era

[@asdfghjklasdfghjkl321]

Okay, but nothing beats living in prehistoric times with no electricity and no plumbing, ya know? Now those were the good old days 😔

[@lindadeuville1483]

Live through that every time a hurricane knocks my power out for a week or more.😃@@asdfghjklasdfghjkl321

[@scifirocks]

I live in a 2 bed terraced house that was built in 1878, it had a plumbed-in outside toilet and a tap in the kitchen from the start so it's plausible a house like this could have a simple bathroom indoors, or an indoors toilet at least.

[@zion2957]

i really love how passionate you are about history and the Victorian era, I love to listen and learn :))

[@MisterKairos825]

I really like this series you do Plumbella. It just doesn’t show how much skilled builder you are BUT, with the commentary, it’s A+ I really like the way you present yourself and deliver the message. Confident and well researched. I’m soooo impressed. Idk, babe but maybe this is just the professional side of me really focusing on learning something from this video. haha. Anyway I digressed, good work, Plumbella!

[@almudd]

As an Architect (and Victorian house owner) I gotta say this is excellent! Really good floor plan, but yeah those servants would be in the attic 😅 you might have two staircases if you were very wealthy 💲 Love the "conservatory" has morning room vibes. Who knew the Sims 4 had that OG Victorian red! So here for this series 🙌🏻 thank you

[@sebastianvargas7614]

Literally my three favorite topics: Sims, history, and architecture. Please make more for this series! :D

[@lorrainethomas241]

I could listen to you talk about the Victorians all day. Then I'd come back the next day for more.

[@celestiastra13]

As a history nerd, i am ABSOLUTELY LOVING this series!

[@junkie2090]

I got a "coffee table" book today on Victorian Style for 30p in the charity shop - literally all the architecture both here and in the US, the history behind the furniture, collections, and there's a "style guide" for each room. It's incredible. I was looking at this exact type of house to build. It would be cool for you to do a series. Maybe all different Victorian styles.

[@br4ttyb4b3]

Luv, you absolutely SHINE in these kinds of videos where you are able to combine your passion for history and the sims together!!! I've watched you for years and these are my absolute favorite videos of yours! I love to see how into it you are and I always feel like I learn a lot! I hope to see more content like this especially because it seems like you really enjoy making it as well!

[@justlola417]

GORGEOUS build babe, i love how you make it not boring because it wasn't at all! I'd love to see you try to tackle actual working class houses, even if you left the neighboring twin houses as shells just to give the idea of how cramped it actually was.

[@QuarterMoonRachel]

There are actually a handful of Victorian History/Victorian Studies masters on offer in the UK. Definitely possible if you did want to pursue one!

[@xtakeoverthemoonx6903]

Do you mean as a uni course? Because that sounds interesting

[@alexandriawest]

They hadn't washed our local library's outside since all the factories shut down decades earlier. It was brown/dark red before - when they washed it, it turned out it's actually built from our locally-preferred pale beige limestone!

[@Lsg93]

the history is so interesting. i love learning from you, you make it so entertaining - you should do a seperate channel for history!

[@lowkeyfeliks7687]

Fantastic build! The red does look really good! I LOVE victorian architecture and I love the british gothic revival and queen anne but I am unfortunately currently 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 with american second empire. It consumes every waking moment of my life. So I feel you and your love for the victorian era. It was really nice listening to you ramble

[@catbake]

You asked for a book rec so I'm gonna go wild 🙈 I wrote a YA Fantasy set in a queer affirming Victorian inspired world, it's very cozy and sweet with potions and magic and spells - it's called Flowerheart 🥰 also I loved the love and the detail you put into this build!!!!

[@itsrattimebrothers]

crying a bit because i have your book literally on my shelf and you're commenting about it on plumbella's video. fantastic. also your little synopsis makes me want to get to reading it even more thank you

[@rabidpinkbunny8915]

I am glad I wasn't born in the Victorian era, but I do love Victorian houses, and this one is gorgeous! 😍 And the history lesson was pretty interesting too.

[@jennijuulia2240]

I would listen to plumbella podcast about history. Bestest ever

[@ivorytuskmeg]

I love these historically accurate builds so so much, and I love all of the context and information you give us as you build, it is pure delight. I’m a graphic designer and I feel the same kind of passion for historically accurate typography and illustration and design! You’ve inspired me to make some Victorian style art!

[@Poppyyyyy13]

Yesssss I’ve always been a Victorians and sims girlie so both together is just the best!

[@emmabruh]

I love these ajsjjsjsjsjjsj, I need this series to never stoppppp please I love hearing others talk about their hyper fixations, mine is Asian history lol

[@citruslawnchair]

Love this house, love a history hyper fixation! Mine is history of Eastern Europe and Central Asia 😅 The colors of this house turned out really nice, I’ve usually seen the bright or pastel ones here on the west coast USA but the brick and red looks beautiful

[@macyrowles7133]

as a brit i’m obsessed with the colourful houses in the USA! they’re so cool to me

[@isauravargas1895]

"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times..." I know Dickens might not be the most accurate quote but I feel your fascination with a specific period of UK history... love your build and rambling, thanks!

[@Whiskin87]

I just love history. Info dumping about random historical periods is one of my favorite things.

[@justlola417]

Queer historical story recommendation: the Montague Siblings series (the first one is The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue), it's set in the 1800s and i really like it.

[@alexagray4942]

I love this series. I’m 17seconds in and I already love it. The screenshot is so pretty. But mostly I had to tell you I love your shirt. It’s so cute!!

[@missingpiece5631]

These builds with historical context from Jesse gives me such a joy that I don't know what to do with myself. Now that the video is over I'll be an empty shell for approximately two days. I could listen to Plumbella talk about history for HOURS

[@Katie-hh9eu]

This is my favorite one so far and I love how you have a disclaimer about being quiet and then proceed to ramble on about the Victorian Era (which I loved hearing)!

[@mdkmen]

OMG YES MY FAVOURITE BUILDING ERA I used to be OBSESSED with making Victorian town hoods in Sims 2 back when I was in middle school and seeing this video brought back so many memories.

[@elliesieable]

During the photo section, it really looks like it could be a house in Red Dead II! Amazing job

[@mel_diamonddove9913]

Im SOOOO glad you decided to keep building historically-accurate builds!! I'm absolutely loving every video. Thank you!

[@thomaschard4742]

I would 100% watch a video of you doing a presentation on the Victorian era or any era really ❤

[@finlaydunn9182]

omg im just in love with how passionate you are. like literally hanging on every word smiling the whole time cause you just seem so happy

[@ZanyMe]

Loving this series so far! If anyone is interested in Victorian houses, in London there are the Sambourne and Leighton houses which are museums and can be visited, it feels like traveling through time! I highly recommend for lesser known museums :)

[@srsr223]

I would absolutely watch an hour long video essay of just you talking about the Victorian era!! I feel like there’s so much to cover and i don’t know much!

[@miavvitch]

‘Why say many word when few word do trick?’ Life motto right there. Thanks plumbeeetch 😍

[@Morgan-ij9vw]

U gotta do a big brother let's play this month!! I feel like you'd make it chaotic in the best way possible!!!

[@friendlyporkchop]

ok i am not a builder and generally skip build videos on youtube bc i'm just not all that interested in it but i am 100% here for history rambles with jessi. this was so fun and i learned so much!

[@matildepaaske4091]

Honestly, I would love for you to make like a podcast of history. You explain things so well, and it really shows how interested is the subject you are. Loved the build as well obviously, but also just loved your "rant".

[@LunaWitcherArt]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING babe! I love how these historical builds put some more out there items and swatches to good use.

[@B.bb115]

i would genuinely watch a plumbella-made video essay about everything in the victorian times xxx

[@Average_jen]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Victorian area. I particularly enjoy when you build and narrate about history, architecture, anything really :) You're a very passionate and smart person and it's a real pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you !

[@Oscar-ei9eq]

I would 100 percent watch a history documentary if it was made by plumbella

[@datgraywitch]

I will absolutely take a Sims video and history lesson of any topic-this was legitimately so fun and interesting to watch!

[@mayak333]

Foaming at the mouth I love Victorian houses so much Ty plumbella ❤️

[@giupondchester1273]

The commentary really elevated the build ❤️

[@katefuller6038]

Girl any time you feel like going on a history rant go ahead, I’m really enjoying these videos and actually learning quite a bit, really loving it xx

[@thelorehorse]

I love these historically accurate builds you do, and if you ever felt like it, I'd LOVE to see more. I'd especially love to see some even older UK style houses and old western 1800s house design from you!

[@AlonaLorelina]

Love the history with the build through Plumbella's mind. Been digging this series!

[@mashedpotatoes4849]

Gotta love how Plumbella is talking like she was there during the Industrial Revolution. Tbh she's doing so well she might as well have been there

[@leoshBR]

I could sit here and hear Plumbella talking about the Victorian era for hours.

[@madebymarty]

got to mention how GOOD you look !!! the shirt, the hair, the makeup all EATS.

[@DisqualifiedGuy]

This video was good inspiration, ended up trying my hand at Victorian era row houses for the new expansion pack :)

[@Phronetiq_]

I did not know that I needed a niche architectural history and sims building source of media, but goddamn did I need it. You are so damn amazing.

[@vampiric666]

this is everything i am obsessed w this lil series

[@sleepingrose3116]

Have you ever been to St Fagans in Wales? Its an open air museum founded in 1948. It has houses and buildings from multiple eras. There are shops there that are acurate to their eras eg a bakery and a sweet shop. You can go in the houses and see the interior architecture. Its a versatile museum.

[@PleaseApplaud]

If you're into that, then Blists Hill near Telford (Shropshire) is a town museum set in about 1890-1895. Probably my favourite museum in the world, I just kind-of wish they'd get a few more examples of residential properties.

[@majokko-niiku-wa]

sllllaaayyy qureeen!!!!!! love me some cast-iron details & accoutrements! might have to get Strangerville for them windows girl! You a smartie honey! giving us the socio-historical urban dev. on an absolutely GOURGEOUS build! For books, Sarah Waters of course... Fingersmith (sculleries, servants, schemes)- quite Dickenson, and The Animals at Lockwood Manor (a cursed gothic manor, plots, alluring temptresses)- think Castle of Otranto.

[@cynccat]

i LOVE ur hair in this vid. the pigtails are so cute !!

[@katy8605]

I do think that it'd be fun to watch you play some kind of historical challenge whether its an existing one or one that you make up yourself

[@msplaylists4900]

The Decades challenge is a thing!! She’d be so great at it

[@w1shyfishy]

when i was younger i lived in a victorian house for a year (for free ! its a long story) and i loved hat house so much. there was a journalist that went missing in the 60s who was rumoured to be buried in the park that our fence backed onto and those rumours were defo true bc that house was rlly haunted. i miss living in a haunted house

[@p_kix]

This was so much fun to watch/listen to. Victorian isn't really my style, but I recently inherited an entire dining room set from the era. The other item I got pressured into taking last minute is one of those taxidermied bird displays. Like, nine birds arranged on branches in a large glass cloche, all full of arsenical soap residue from what I've read since. My home aesthetic is now late 19th century natural history museum.

[@elizabethdactyl]

there are absolutely masters that just focus on victorians!! some may be a bit more interdisciplinary victorian studies rather than just history, but in those there would be options to primarily take history modules!!

[@SeaBlueJay]

Absolutely LOVING your historical builds. Hope this era of your videos stays a while because I'm so here for it.

[@LitteSun91]

I love your historically accurate build videos ❤ I love listening to you talk about those different time periods, how they lived and how they build houses. It’s so interesting!! Keep them coming 😃

[@kaisak6657]

I loved hearing about the history and especially the history of Middlesbrough and the working class!

[@bianca4013]

I really enjoyed this video, I've never been that big of a fan of History, but the speedbuild + Plumbella talking about history was really interesting. Would love to see more videos like this one

[@benhawkes2752]

I love Victorian architecture, it’s honestly so impressive

[@msplaylists4900]

These builds would be PERFECT for the Decades Challenge

[@froginatub]

Where I grew up in Ontario all of the old buildings have that brick look too, because there were major brickworks in large parts of Ontario- when I moved away I was surprised by the lack of brick everywhere, I thought that's just how houses looked. London ON especially is known for a really distinctive yellow brick, because of the colour of the clays there- exactly what she was talking about wrt houses being made from the materials of local industry! I think that's really nice; gives places a bit of character and connection to their history, and the land they're on- like a little piece of the land of London Ontario is literally in its houses, still, and it makes them stand out :")

[@wildernessisland2573]

I am living for historically accurate sims builds video essays!!!

[@mistyamarch]

i absolutely love these videos of irl lore and sims builds! i could watch a 1000 of these theyre so interesting

[@coldcrumble6977]

i would LOVE to see an attempt to build maybe a row of workers houses? i’m a big advocate for understanding the history of the working class and it would be sooo cool. great video babes

[@insertname1857]

love love LOVE what i find interesting is that here in the US, our victorian homes depend very much on which coast you're on. on the east coast, we use a lot more brick and darker but still rich colours, and look a fair bit more like UK victorians. the west coast is the bright and cheery. however, east coast does still have a TON of queen annes and i would argue ours are nicer looking than the west coast hehe. we also have a lot of gothic revival which is soooo yummy our floorplans are TOTALLY different though. while they are still closed off, they arent as closed off as UK ones

[@faithaliciouslove]

This has seriously become my favorite series of yours!

[@cblgga]

PLUMBELLA PLEASE NEVER STOP DOING THESE BUILDS WE LOVE IT

[@irradiatedart]

really loved this video, i love the victorian period and your descriptions of middlesbrough were fascinating [gonna be moving there soon!] the build is gorgeous! i really really love it

please do more of these omg. i love hearing u talk about stuff u like - its genuinely tickling my little adhd brain lol

[@marileecornelius1777]

I live in an early 1800's Victorian house in Vermont, except it's been converted into apartments. It's three stories, one apartment for each story. It's been redone a few times, so it's very awkward, lots of weird corners and awkwardly long, skinny rooms. Like four different floorings in our small apartment alone lol

[@emmaeemeli]

Half of my family is from the UK and Ireland, and I've done some light genealogy study of them, and suprise suprise, as I still am from the working class background, now lower middle class, my whole family history is fishermen, paupers, workhouse and farmhands😂 I love history so much and these builds inspire me to read and learn more

[@rhimcclure]

i would watch a video of yours just talking abt everything victorian era, i find it so interesting and love how you tell stories

[@hen8110]

Absolutely love the history along with the build. Would totally watch more like this

[@moth1365]

Love these videos so much, they're like a little Sims version of wandering through Beamish Museum!

[@seandotcom3321]

I am formally requesting one million of these victorian build and history lesson videos

[@casey54321]

I think like a Victorian Era sims playthrough would be cool. Like how Deligracy does her sort of story centric playthroughs.

[@tia8245]

Jess you really outdid yourself with this one hen. I love hearing you talk about the north in the context of the Victorian era, since I’m from the Black Country so we also have a very rich history in terms of the industrial revolution, so you better believe I was chatting along with you when I was watching this!! The Black Country is literally called that because of the black smoke that was in the air due to all the factories back then, and was famed for the amount of chains it produced, which is why the black country flag features a chain across it.

[@VioletGreen-v5s]

Girl your knowledge about this historical period is so impressing :) Thank you!

[@tobiasrobinson4659]

I'm a brummie Jessie, I feel the industrial revolution vibes lol

[@caspenbee]

Another reason for the mass alcoholism that I just learned from the BlindBoy podcast: gin distilleries. Prior to the industrial revolution, brewing high-proof spirits was a small-scale and superstitious (as you can imagine) profession. Then the gin factories came in. Suddenly there was a flood of cheap high proof alcohol, something nobody had ever had that level of access to before. Like if suddenly cocaine was everywhere and $5, you might be more tempted (esp given the working conditions as you said).

[@kazerzinorange]

I would love to hear you do a commentary style video about history & lore and stuff! You’re so entertaining + smart and I just love hearing you do story times!!! do a series separate from sims!!! :D xoxo

[@ShortCakesMakeup]

I've always loved history and The Sims, so when I saw you were thinking about doing this series I was like "SIGN ME UP!". Also in Ireland when we think of red brick houses we automatically think of England. That's why when we go up North we now when we've crossed the border because all the houses are made of red brick. Put please continue with these videos! I do love them xxx

[@Bl0bbit]

A Victorian queer book which is amazing is Fingersmith by Sarah Waters! She’s done a few but Fingersmith really stood out for me!

[@umbellicalchick5635]

I loooove the historical background!!!!! This is my fav style video from you. Me when others tell me about things: 🥰 Lecture meee

[@charles-pn5uf]

also an edwardian build would be fun but i think it might be slightly too similar to the victorian one. i believe wealthy people started to have electricity at that point. and the 20s, you could do like a bauhaus or art deco build although they aren’t too common in england (to my knowledge at least)
