My hobby is also complaining about modern builds and proceeding to create modern builds. Bonus points for putting modern builds in places like windenburg where it absolutely doesn’t fit.

[@brtzz2388]

I see you on every single Sims video I watch I swear

[@MinaeVain]

Honestly if someone makes a modern build that fits in windenburg they have my respect because of the architectural challenge

[@lunaredelvour2972]

Okay but neighbors that rebuild their house into a modern home while surrounded by much older and cool-lookin houses have a special place in hell-

[@Clara-qr9be]

I feel called out 💯

[@WooNeful]

@@lunaredelvour2972 mmmm, they look kinda like they are made of cardboard compared to older houses that have that certain kind of character.. I have a feeling the modern builds we have now will not age well, imagine what they will look like in 50 years

[@Dean_W1nchester.]

Challenge idea: randomise the size each room should be, eg you could roll a 4x2 for a living room and a 10x12 for a bathroom

[@mynamehasbeentaken3564]

Would love to see that video!

[@HaleyAnderson0]

I’ve had a similar idea! Except the wheel has numbers 1-10 (or whatever numbers you want) and you spin the wheel twice to get the dimensions of a room. Spin a 1 and an 8? The room must be 1x8!

[@Asset80]

Could roll a d20 twice for each room

[@Alyakismydutchname]

I've seen one of the bigger sims youtubers do that but I can't remember who it was! It might have been James Turner or Lil Simsie, but I'm not sure. If she hasn't already done it, I think Plumbella would do well with the challenge too if she wanted to try it out!

[@jinnie4271]

Wow I didn't know Phillip Hamilton liked to watch Plumbella

[@thisiscara9045]

i am forever impressed of how well jesse can decorate a room. it’s just… everything is so pleasant and pretty.

Ikr. My rooms look like blended attic bits n bobs I have no idea how she can decorate so well

[@matthews2365]

"Including windows" *Honey, you've got a big storm comin*

[@ghosty8193]

Challenge idea: each room is inspired by a different world in the game, BUT you cannot use any items from the corresponding pack AND you have to capture the vibes of the world. For example: you get Island Living. You have to create the IL vibe as a bedroom without using any items from the IL pack. That or each room is a different aesthetic.

[@lullabylibra]

this !!

[@rachaels742]

omg that sounds so fun and hard!

[@elif6908]

This is so evil 😈 love it!!!

[@mysteria_1305]

That would be a good challenge; think you would need at least four packs for it, though two would work. It would just be overly repetitive.

[@taurusandlibra2638]

Oh my god this sounds terrible I’m gonna do it

[@carahr9413]

That living room is hitting all the right vibes, add a bit of antique and achieve that Victorian jungle tree house look

[@NuttyRedBaBonkerz]

victorian jungle treehouse is not an aesthetic i knew i needed

[@cd55896]

I saw this before watching and couldn't imagine what it was gonna look like. But you were spot on, and it looks amazing! 🤩

[@elli3352]

The problem with fringes is that they get greasier easily because they are so close to your face, you can just tie up your hair, leave the fringe out and just wash that part, the good thing about this is, if you are too lazy to wash your hair you can do the same and walk around with your hair tied up but it won't look dirty because your fringe is nice and clean. 💕

[@WooNeful]

i was looking to see if anyone commented this. my mom gave me that advice when i got a fringe and it’s LIVE SAVINGGF!!!

[@zoe3131]

if you pin your fringe away from your face while you’re sleeping, it’ll also slow down the greasiness a bit if you don’t have time to wash the next day!

[@lizzymorang8048]

Jesse finally realizing she's more of a theoretical theatre kid than a theoretical jock is so cathartic

This was a great example of "Doing every step of the project correclty and flawlessly... but not understanding the assignment" lol xD Honestly though, just kidding Jesse! Each of your rooms genuinely looked phenomenal (LOVE that Living Room still!) and I think you did a great job! Would love to see you do more and try out other styles (maybe try building a Victorian style??)

[@windenbird]

For your fringe, my hairdresser told me that she’d just wash her fringe in the sink quickly in the morning with shampoo if she didn’t want to wash all her hair Fringes will get extra greasy because of the scalp and forehead which is honestly just another pain to be so iconic but we must go on

"i don't like this feeling, but i think i have to feel it" is a saying that i use whenever i get sad or anxious and it has helped me a lot ❤️

[@honeybakedkae]

if you’re using conditioner on your fringe, only use it on the ends, and if that doesn’t help, stop using conditioner on your fringe. it absorbs the oils from your scalp as well as your face so it doesn’t necessarily need to be conditioned each wash

[@IsabellaKayful]

YAYYY I’m currently playing sims and was feeling a little burnt out so this came at the PERFECT TIME MAMA

[@ivymay9183]

Something I learned recently, and try to implement myself to various degrees of success, is that anxiety and excitement are very closely tied - almost the exact same feeling. So if you’re feeling anxious about something like feeling, try telling yourself that you’re excited. Like repeat it out loud over and over until you start to feel more excited than anxious.

[@kathleenistalking]

jesse saying she now recognizes that her anxiety is just the way she feels before doing certain things and not a reason to not do it is very inspiring to a fellow anxiety sufferer

[@ay-ay-ron28]

Y’all may not agree but I absolutely love the way the house turned out and I’m so proud of you Jess for being honest with your anxiety, you’re so brave for being upfront about it 💙

[@maryna9000]

tips for greasy fringe: wash it separately in a sink! i've been doing this forever especially if i don't have time to wash my hair completely but want to refresh my appearance a little!

[@vindifference]

Usually I don't have anything to say about builds, but these rooms are giving me life hen. The size, the tones, the layouts. Job's a good one.

[@rosielunaleo]

ur so creative! it genuinely blows my mind how u created such a beautiful style and interior on a whim like that. every time i see u build something different, it makes me want to explore items in the game that i've forgotten about and perhaps even play a little bit.. which is saying something

[@CaitlynAlice]

Can you use baby powder? I know you said your scalp is sensitive but that was the OG dry shampoo. Hope that helps!

[@breezehxme]

Baby powder is made for super sensitive skin (babies, obviously) so I think this is def the best option. Otherwise big F for Jesse’s fringe :(

[@aureliuss2262]

or corn flour might work for sensitive skin

If I saw that house in Los Angeles, I wouldn’t be surprised. I may go like: “that looks odd” but it wouldn’t be out of place.

[@bhumphreys5754]

Challenge idea: shaping rooms as US states and decorating them as what you think they would look like. Ex. Texas shaped house with lots of country items, a dead cow plant, boots, leather, etc.)

[@astrobard]

Hey, you did an amazing job with your anxiety. It took me so long to get to the point where I could recognize that my anxiety was stopping me and that sometimes pushing through was necessary no matter how scary.

[@Hopischwopi]

Aaaaah yes, welcome to the family. For me changing my hair routine helped a little. I use a lot more products and methods from the curly girl method and it kinda helped. Like my hair is still thin and greasy pretty fast but in general I can sometimes go a second day just with styling and without washing.

[@fwogboy]

I've found that building room-by-room is really inspiring and makes my houses look really good

[@KnittingandBaking]

Mad props on recognizing that you were having anxiety and then just being like, "Yep, I see you anxiety. You are valid, but you're not going to change my plans for the day." That's an incredibly sophisticated skill to implement in your life.

greasy fringe tip: besides putting it up, something ive found that helps me is washing my hair upside down and putting shampoo in two parts, the front and the back and rubbing it foward to the base of the hair with my fingers only on the scalp , this besides the obv stuff like not putting conditioner on the roots.

[@odditynix]

Her loving room is gorgeous! It looks cool and cozy and calming. I could absolutely see myself in there with a cup of coffee, a book, waking up with ease... it is amazing

[@dezamraz]

My bangs get super greasy super fast too, so what I do is just wash only them over the sink whenever i wanna go somewhere, they dry super fast because there's not a lot of hair there anyways, and you can always just quickly blow dry them if you want. Might seem a bit obvious but it took me a while to think of it 😅

[@babyspinch]

for your bangs: Use texturizing spray or check out kloraine’s dry shampoo too if regular stuff irritates you

I love a dark emerald or forest green with the wood colors and a boho/rustic cozy feel, ugh *chefs kiss* (don't even need to finish the videos without knowing the rooms lol, this is my fav). Honestly, this isn't the worst build challenge, you can just adjust until it looks the way you really want it lol. This might actually make it easier for some people to build. Which yours turned into an actual nice house, I can't wait to play around and edit yours from the gallery!

[@IAMTHEDANGER1985]

Thanks for the reminder that anxiety doesn't have to limit you. I find it helpful to tell myself that anxiety and excitement feels the same and that it's my brain/past experiences choosing anxiety and I can, in the moment, choose to feel it as excitement.

[@noramange4419]

[@rosie2189]

I just want to say, thank you Plumbella for being the joy bringer you are. You’re my comfort youtuber, everytime I watch a video of yours it brings me so much laughter and I was feeling so low today and your speech of not being afraid of change was something I really needed to hear and then you followed it with “f-ck!” That was just the thing I needed, thank you. Thank you for being you and one day I hope to meet you so I can give you hug, thank you babes🥺💕

[@camillesloan302]

For your hair. I switched to Biolage KeratinDose shampoo and conditioner. It's for people who color/bleach their hair. My hair can go 2-3 days without getting oily now! I had to go back to a different conditioner for a few days when I ran out and it got so greasy again when using it.

[@dogfooddevin5538]

Another Challenge Idea (sorry babes): Every room is a different Sim challenge. You get 8 random sims (preferably townies), put them on a wheel, and say you're like "this will be the living room"- then you spin the wheel and have to try to cater the room to the townie's personality/"lore". Bonus points if you make a video with all 8 sims living there afterwards just to see how they interact.

[@HelenBeeee]

nice idea :)

[@biologicalmage]

hey jesse I too had a severe problem with dry scalp/greasy hair and the reason your hair is greasy is most likely BECAUSE your scalp is dry! you should look into shampoos and scalp treatments for dry scalps. your hair might get extra greasy in the beginning but it should get better when your scalp doesn't need to produce all that extra oil anymore! hope that helps, either way your hair is super pretty xx

[@IagreewithDmitri]

I LOVE this house! Btw, I'm so glad you were able to push past your anxiety and record because this video was great and I can't be the only one who wants to hear more of your musical lol!

[@lura2775]

Section off the oily part of your fringe with a comb and then put the back part in a ponytail and wash the fringe. Also, only condition the ends when you condition and that should help!

jesse!! an idea for greasy fringe or bangs that i use is either face setting powder and a brush or alternatively you can use baby talcum powder! i prefer the setting powder because it doesn’t smell like baby powder!

[@thesarcasticsimmer1383]

Bestie it’s expensive but I use function of beauty ; helped me so much with my hair.

[@BuddingOrchid]

instead of dry shampoo you could use cocoa + corn flour (i think the ratio is 1 to 1, but since your hair is lighter you could play around and see). it works great -sometimes better- than dry shampoo and it makes your hair smell like chocolate :)

[@Iluvpie6]

I’m so happy to hear about your growth with the recording anxiety. Trying to maintain that perspective on change - that it’s scary, but great and important and wonderful - is something that’s really important to me, but so many of the people I know totally disagree with that perspective. It can be really despair-inducing for me when I’m trying to change and improve myself, despite how difficult it is to do so, and everyone around me is actively discouraging it. So I’m really happy to hear about your perspective on the matter and your own growth as a result of that perspective. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Iluvpie6]

Incidentally, this house looks GREAT decoration-wise. Save for the bathroom roof and the bedroom door, I think it’d be cool to live here!

[@katiebethcollins]

Re: the fringe - if your scalp is too sensitive for scented dry shampoo, you could try using cornstarch and a big fluffy brush! I’m not sure how it would look with darker hair, but on my brightish blonde hair it looks just fine. I like to lift up the very top layer of my hair and then apply the cornstarch to the roots underneath. Then I drop the top layer back down and sort of fluff my hair all around before combing through everything with my fingers

[@m.f.proctor]

Just based off your hair tip ask 🥺 baking soda and baby powder are the OG “dry shampoos”, also, not using a shampoo that strips away all your natural oils will help a lot! Your scalp over produces oils when it feels scared that your hair and scalp is too dry! Ideally if you use a shampoo that doesn’t over strip and a conditioner that is moisturizing and reparative (not protein) it should help you a lot over time 🥺❤️ - just a tip from a girl with a hair certification, has been obsessed with hair for over 10 years, and has worked in the hair industry for four years ❤️ - if you have any more questions or want tips just let me know! My name is the same on Twitter as well if it’s easier to talk there!

I’ve seen the puzzle thing for shell challenges but not done like this, and I personally love how it turned out 💁🏻‍♀️ I might give it a go because I like how at the end the shape was actually interesting and not boxy like I would typically make if I built the exterior walls first.

[@autumn1284]

[@andrewmoeller1987]

I did a similar sort of thing awhile back. Making each of the Build mode rooms, then putting them all together in a way that makes sense. I only had to add one hallway and then a few windows on the opposite sides of some of the individual rooms (that aren't seen from the build mode view). I believe I called it Build Mode House.

[@chrissycastaldi]

[@dogfooddevin5538]

I had a challenge idea; what if you tried to build a house using only the pre-built rooms in the Sims (and maybe ones from the Gallery?) The rules are that you can only use pre-built rooms, you can replace like-with-like (so a counter could be replaced with another counter, but you couldn't just delete it and not add another), you can of course change the colors, wall paper, and floor, but that's it. If it's multi-story then you're allowed to add a stair-case/ladder to a room per floor you added (so two stairs if you have three floors, one stair for two floors, etc.).

[@MzMinnie789]

Hair tips: if you can’t use dry shampoo, I’ve found my hair has gotten less greasy by washing it less. (I used to wash it every day.) I got through the awkward stages of not washing my hair by using hair bands and French pleats. I hope this helps. Also I don’t know if this is different to dry shampoo but I sometimes use this powder thing that is for volume but also kind of takes the oil out of your hair. I don’t know if this kind of thing might be easier on your scalp vs dry shampoo. Few brands I’ve seen make it are L’Oréal and v05 💕💜🌸
