I tried to build an Origami House in The Sims 4

[@riewinters]

I've been screaming at my screen the whole time "THE FRIDGE, DELI, THE FRIDGE, PLEASE!" 😂😂

[@mauratyson9580]

It’s just like the Barbie Dreamhouse all over again

[@EllieJGold]

I kept hoping she was joking with us

[@rolandrobinson3686]

I was thinking the same thing😂😂

[@M1tsuka]

Came here to say the same :D

[@ashleyrose379]

I think she tricked her eye with the long cabinet, it does look like a fridge at first glance.

[@johku7638]

I'd loove a series where you try architecture from different countries and points in history! Like I've never heard of an origami house, but this is so fun.

[@cindym7508]

Good idea! I’d love to see deli do a build in hardcore brutalist, Tudor, 70s… I could go on… this was one was super unique and creative.

[@mauratyson9580]

I really love your experimental modern builds like this one! I always think about that one build where you built a house underground. I would love to see more unique stuff like that

[@SupremeM]

A fun collaborative build idea could be a Pass the House challenge. One creator does the exterior, the other the floor plan and basic furnishing, another for decor. It could be broken up to as many or a few parts but it would be fun to see everyone work on something together

[@zoegranville7607]

or even on a timer where you swap at 10 min intervals

[@Legacylady_a]

Didn't they do something like this years ago. Before being getting together... I remember stumbling upon a video like this.

[@ScooterBond1970]

lilsimsie and Dr Gluon did something similar some time ago, wherein each would build a small house/apt flat (based on a certain set of parameters, I think), then they had to describe their build to the other and the other had to try to re-create the build from the description alone. Just to add to the chaos, it was all timed.

[@Emelia39]

I'd love to see more Australian style builds-- villas, modern eco etc!

[@Jo_Alien]

One idea could be having viewers upload a build based on a room or house they want to renovate in real life, and then you ‘renovate’ them based on a small blurb of what the viewer wants from the reno. Kind of like dream home decorator without the bugs.

[@nabilamazghari6868]

Fridge!!!! Don't forget the fridge Deli. 😂😅

[@IM.vero09]

Classic! No fridge in the kitchen lol

[@deligracy]

[@katalynakbr]

I haven't even gotten past where you're talking about Wicked and your anxiety and it's definitely a thing... I seek out spoilers about EVERYTHING so I can just enjoy the journey as I'll already know the ending!

[@fireworks-swamp]

100% same, it must be an anxiety thing, I need to know who lives/dies before I watch something so that I can enjoy it rather than angsting the whole time.

[@deligracy]

@@fireworks-swamp Yes same!

[@katalynakbr]

That's it exactly. I need to know the ending, so I can enjoy it! I think it is an anxiety thing!

[@cinnawiskey]

This is such a unique build!! Inever would have thought to use origami as inspiration for a build. You've opened my eyes! I love it!

[@nina_scholten]

your words at the beginning resonated with me so much, I’m an architecture student and I’ve been so stressed about my graduate project, but now I’m feeling more inspired to get back to working on it!!(after I’m done watching your video of course, haha)

[@deligracy]

Try and enjoy :) Just start and take off the pressure~! :)

[@fireworks-swamp]

I've been following your renovation saga and it's nice to see you and James back home and cozy in your improved space. :)

[@ciarac5831]

I really would just like to see a let’s play series and story line maybe a mini series but definitely want a multi part series

[@leeannasmith7497]

I would say more let's plays! Love the storyline like the not so berry challenge

[@lindsayhartje6678]

Yay! A Deli video! I hope you are enjoying the new kitchen and settling back in. I'm so glad you did the insulation on the house. That's gonna make such a difference.

[@daniellem7160]

Does the kitchen have a fridge? Is that tall cabinet a fridge? Haha

[@loraelstad8941]

I was so unsure, too, & wondering, "What if I ask about a missing fridge & that cabinet next to the bin turns out to be one? I'll look dumb." It's great to know I wasn't the only one wondering about it.

[@daniellem7160]

@ hahaha happy to take one for the team! From other comments looks like we weren’t being dumb!

[@Caprice_H]

I'd love to see more let's plays, maybe you could do similar to james and do short one off let's plays if its easier? I love your tiny town series and would love to see more gameplay videos

[@aliciamarie9113]

I look up the end of every movie and TV show I watch from pure anxiety and it never ruins the experience for me. I still enjoy the journey.

[@shammahalkuwari6569]

Was I the only one screaming fridge lol😂 I think the long cabinet looks like a fridge which is why Deli didn’t realize

[@izzahhoran5924]

Yes! I was thinking this as well. Could be funn

[@Silverfur01]

yeah, she probably placed it then afterwards every time she saw the thing she thought it was a fridge XD

[@leaoraissa]

Welcome back, Deli! This is such a cool build! I just love watching the way you build in the sims, it’s so satisfying, and you always go for the design choices I like better lol and in the rare occasions you don’t, I can still appreciate your thought process. I guess that’s what I love about your building style: you put so much thought into it! And you’re able to communicate that thought process so well. Happy new year!

[@aiainsley]

would loooooove to see a frank lloyd wright inspired house build !!

[@amandafitzsimons5133]

As a Wisconsin native I’m also always down for some Frank Lloyd Wright!

[@amydyjur7396]

So happy you are back!!! But more pumped you had amazing holidays!

[@vemptie]

hi deli! i'm so happy you've posted, u were definitely missed. glad the house is sorted and u are settling back in!! i'd love to see more of the building with different occupations salaries and live streams would be awesome to watch ❤

[@MK-ox9rz]

about video ideas, how would you feel about a (mini?) LP about a Sim/Family trying to live self-sustaining using off the grid and having to plant food to eat it etc, the idea could be to impove a home for them to work in the best way possible using seasons, eco lifestyle, cottage living and maybe other packs/challenges?

[@majesticmythicalsart7563]

Yay!!! I needed this today as my 9 year old daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia and it has been very stressful. Your videos are a welcome break .❤

[@loraelstad8941]

Praying for her recovery and your sanity (I'm a mom of 2 girls, myself).

[@shelby2710]

this felt like such a classic deli build, its so creative and so amazing actually

[@jenplaysgames]

I’m only just hitting the furnishing section but omg the front of that house is so beautiful. Very Grand Designs!!! It also lowkey has Sims 3 Into The Future vibes (it’s one of my fave packs) 😍 Edit: and OMG DELI this build is beautiful. Would love to see more buildings or aesthetics through history as a series! I also think James would furnish this like super futuristic and science lab-like - I feel like you and James should build and furnish with a specific outline/style and compare them at the end! 😀 Great video as always Deli ❤

[@eporues4767]

so real with listening to every version of 'defying gravity'

[@katealexisloves]

Follow your joy, Deli! We love it when you love what you’re doing!

[@jsimlady]

This is the most interesting house I've ever seen. 💚

[@aaronlevesque8173]

6:48 I would love some more story driven gameplay in the new year! Also I think it would be cool to see you play other games aside from sims as well. Always nice to see your videos and content regardless. Happy new year Deli!

[@CuriousRobyn]

I find the “every room is a different colour” challenges boring but the challenges that require each room to be a different movie character or star sign or career etc. Those are fun. And can be super creative.

[@loraelstad8941]

I'm with you on that. Just color schemes, kinda meh. But, ideas or themes, yassss.

[@vincentlevarrick6557]

"Every Room a Different Colour" can be fun to watch but I find it realy truly depends on the creator. Some creators really let themselves go, and lean into it and have fun. You know... the point of a challenge 😁 And then there are others who seem to be afraid of branching out into anything different, and are really stuck in a beige or blue box. Then they agonise over every item and every colour swatch, whilst manically cycling through many options really quickly and when they finally decide on an item it lasts 2 seconds before "ew! no I hate that. That's SO ugly!" *everytime*. I don't enjoy watching videos like that. I personally find it stressful. Our Deli doesn't behave like that ☺ She is enjoyable to watch as a creator becuse she takes her time and it feels she delights in every swatch. There's never an "Ew!" "gross!" ugly!". Nothing harsher than "I don't really like that" or "I prefer this colour". Deligracy's cosy vibes are a soothing antithesis to stressful (and-not-comical) build videos.

[@Igoruru]

That thumbnail?? Omg, so excited to see that build. Love it 😍

[@JustSaralius]

I think it turned out really cool! Love the earthy, grassy vibes, making it meld well with the surroundings. Happy New Year to you and the fam!

[@R4TF4NGS]

i looove these long-ish videos. they're great for sitting down with lunch, or dinner, and a good cup of tea 😌

[@BajaShrimpTacos]

My most favorite series of yours was the runaway teen challenge, would love to see a redo of that with all the new sims stuff. I would be so interesting with the addition of cottage living and werewolves.

[@tonylagonie]

Welcome back Deli! I'm so happy to hear you may be streaming once a week! I love them

[@ciarac5831]

I think this a really cool like it looks clean and modern or futuristic I love it I love the flooring being marble

[@alicedalexandrite]

This looks incredible! The only thing that I dislike is black tile in the bathroom. I have stayed in a hotel room with black tile in the bathroom and each time I took a shower my head started spinning because there was this visual effect that the tile moved

[@calidriscanutus]

The wicked experience screams 🌟adhd 🌟 (I know its been said to you before, but my own diagnosis was so helpful to understand me that I prefer to say it again). About ideas: What about a design style series? Where you explore different style trends and build houses accordingly? You know so much about it and I think it would be really interesting. I do enjoy the common challenges, but it upsets me when they're approached so literal that the house is just a mess. Maybe you or anyone else feels the same and thats why its not that entertaining. Maybe a twist to it would be to really try to incorporate the challenge characteristics (like the color, or style, or number of rooms, etc) in a careful and well though way. Tiny town, both the aspects of design and story telling, feels really perfect to you, so maybe future challenges that are similar would be great. Either way, welcome back!

[@loraelstad8941]

Love your design style build idea.

[@Jdeere]

35:55 They’re not WHAT?! 😂

[@unnamias]

13:08 The exterior looks amazing! I haven't played in the sims in almost a year, and this inspired me to get back into it 😍

[@kiyasthriftycrafts]

Your builds are already phenomenal but having access to the color wheel again?! You would be unstoppable lol

[@roadkillbeauty]

Honestly living for this abstract architecture and that glass piece in the kitchen

[@leaoraissa]

The kitchen is so close to my actual dream kitchen (missing the fridge ofc hahahah very Deli move)!! Love, love, love!

[@Legacylady_a]

I love the idea of a color pallet challenge. Either for a whole house or every room is a different random color pallett. There are different randomizers online.

[@kimpowcox]

Best sims build I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe how incredible this turned out! I was skeptical about how an origami house could possibly look good in the sims but wow!

[@kimpowcox]

Actually this might be second to your goth Reno which was **chefs kiss**

[@Pastel00Peach]

I was so incredibly happy to see a unique build among the Simmers I follow. Recently I’ve felt rather bored with the same type of builds being done over and over again. This is so fun and unique and presents a fun challenge! I’d love to see more builds in the future that are inspired by crazy and difficult architecture! But also Deli, I LOVE your gameplay videos. I would love a weekly installation of a gameplay series!

[@mooglily]

I would looooove to see more CC builds & also I’d love for you to make more build shells for the community to do! And then maybe do a video where you look at them on the gallery the next month or something? :)

[@CaseyOh]

We are oversaturated with "Every Room is a Different [x]", so THANK YOU for not doing that.

[@anekcm]

Yes, those are my least favorite videos

[@Kin0006]

i remember that u once did a reno of the Landgrab family and i loved it bc u tried to make it archiectonicly accurate and brought up some facts about desert architecture, and i think that this could make a whole series of u building in different worlds in ts4 and making the builds accurate for each world and give us some facts about it. i think this would be super fun to watch!!! (sorry for my english its not my first language haha)

[@Ioannapapast]

One challenge you could do is make a building and decorate it each time for a different use without ruining the layout. For example you make a building, make it a house, then unfurnish it and make it a gym, then a spa centre without messing with the walls

[@goudenlijntjes]

Oooh yes please go on and play and have fun and do what YOU love, it really shines trough in your content. Even when I'm usually not too fond of modern builds, I LOVE this build because it really shows your taste, unique vision and creativity. I'd prefer seeing an authentic outcome like this over another "every room challenge" everyday. Have fun, Deli!!:)

[@Dangernoodles93]

You’re my favourite sims builder, the designs both inside and out are just chefs kiss 😍

[@sarabrown5377]

Ugh I still love that you play the OG Sims music in the background of your build videos It inspired me to add the Sims soundtracks to my "Time to relax" playlist for work 😂👏🏼

[@blackberrywinter4020]

You could do a build series where you mix and match different styles of exteriors to interiors! Somewhat of an unexpected twist. Like the exterior could be brutalist while the interior is more of a japandi style, or a Victorian exterior and an ultra modern interior, just for example.

[@zoegranville7607]

loved how the roofing looked like a wave or waterfall, but i think you made it even better with adding more dimension across that plane. its so cool! ETA: Deli talking about safety and paper and I'm like yea papercuts, missing the obvious connection of smoke alarm = fire... also waiting for Deli to realise her "need to know the plot in advance" is a ptsd thing, and its likely that the "rabbit holes" or research intensity is a trace of other neurodivergence.

[@vincentlevarrick6557]

Hey, you're right to not underestimate paper cuts. They sting like all get out, because they slice deep into the skin layers, to where the nerves and pain receptors are. If you're very unlucky you can end up with an infection in the cut. Then of course when they're healing, if the outer dermal layer doesn't mesh first, you're left with this drying skin that catches on every piece of fibre and textile - which compounds the irritation and oversensitivity. 😬

[@LAURA---]

I didn’t know she has PTSD

[@VioletGreen-v5s]

o my gosh I love houses like that! And I agree with what you said, most important thing with videos is to creator having fun and doing what they like, of course it is noticeable. I'm obsessed with this house, hope to find it on gallery later!

[@beccaschmidt8339]

More game play! I love your let’s plays. Both short and long. Some that come to mind I have seen: -Barbie legacy -Not So Berry -Tiny Town (thanks to you!) -each generation is a different occult -Sims in Bloom -play a generation per pack/kit/stuff pack and go in order -just a channel legacy! You can post every so often.

[@neeekonya]

Deli, where's the fridge?? 😭😭

[@cargo2029]

Yay! Welcome back! ❤ I‘d love to see a Sim or two building her/his business emporium (maybe mall) from scratch, e.g selling candles, furniture, handmade clothes, cafes, bakery ect.

[@darrylwhitefeather207]

I don't think any of us expect "the best video ever" after a break. Of course you take time off for Christmas!

[@caseywolf5898]

Love the build! You could try the “pack legacy challenge”. If once done it myself but with a little twist: instead of doing one pack by each generation, I used James’ Random Pack Generator and selected each an expansion, gameplay and stuff pack and combined them in a generation. You get really creative stories out of it and it was really fun.

[@kat_kitty_kat]

OMG I just watched Wicked yesterday and can't get "Defying gravity" out of my head too! 😍 missed your vids, glad to see you back, Deli 💖

[@lilcamelleon]

I reallllly loved that one were you renovated a viewer's home! If that's too much at once maybe a redo of the interior design and I would love for you to just go crazy without thinking about whether it would be realistic or not

[@shelby2710]

i’d love to see a continuation or redo of the newcrest rebuild, i thought it was so much fun. i loved seeing australian styled homes and buildings

[@deenadinner]

welcome backk!! glad everything with the house went well

[@dionebacchus3742]

I would love to see you do a legacy challenge. Up to you for which one you do, but a legacy with each generation being a different super unique build style and challenges would be fun. So like a brutalist gen that does the gardening career, so they have a contrast between the harsh lines and all their flower arrangements. I feel like that would combine your great storytelling with your knowledge of architecture

[@andrianademetriou2189]

deliiiii we missed youuuu!!!

[@Rubyleigh06]

Rihanna is my favorite artist so im PRAYING she returns. Also, loving this unique build deli

[@ianpereverzev1328]

amazing idea as always! I just recently came across James's Planet Coaster video where he builds a water park and I think that with your style Deli, it would be so interesting to see how your dream park would look like, the build mode in this game is unmatched and I think you might enjoy it(even tho it does look quite complicated)

[@allieblithe]

the first thing i noticed were the new floors!!! ahhh they look so good !! ive been following along with the house remodel and im so happy that it went so well for you guys :) happy new year!

[@kurosven]

Yes! I want an Origami Tiny House! I love this style of architecture!

[@katep5869]

So excited that you'll be streaming this year! Thank you for the video and hope you had a lovely holiday season!

[@ashley_marieaz]

I would say whatever videos you want to make, anything that makes you happy or inspired. Congrats on being back in your house, I know it would be extremely stressful to deal with all of that. Happy New Years!

[@MarFloCaro]

Absolutely, 'Deli Originals' are the best and both you and us enjoy those the most 💪🏻. All little details, from your choice of color palette and personal style to how you communicate with us, all makes your channels yours and unique, and we are happy to watch what you have to share with us! You do you and we'll be happy 💖💖

[@neopet13]

Deli,i just want to say that you seem like such a lovely and authentic person. I love how excited you are for the Sims or just anything that you find interesting,its very refreshing for me to see as I lost passion for anything really. Please always keep smiling and having the same zest for life ❤

[@lindseykellstrom465]

I would love to see you build and earthship. I just recently learned what they are and I feel like you would love the architecture and the sustainability aspect!

[@user-yk3fu6rf6e]

So happy you are back! And Happy new year everyone! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 May 2025 be the best year ever 🫧 Sending love and happiness to all of you 🩵

[@druskellyington]

Me continously begging "Deli, Fridge" as she continues to put one item down on the counter after another 😅 Thanks for all the laughs and good vibes Deli

[@NattyNooodles]

I'd love to see a multi part series from you, like Tiny town! Maybe another channel could be cool, like a cozy games channel, i quite enjoyed Tales of the Shire. Love the new kitchen by the way, you've both done an amazing job! As always, much love.

[@willowtabby4926]

24:45 "Something is not right here, something's not right" - yeah, the lack of fridge, Deli. The lack of fridge! 😂

[@Will.T.]

Hey Deli, I always enjoy the videos where you just sit down and play the sims! I have a video request. I am currently playing with a big sims family. I would love if you built the “Perfect Home” in Brindleton Bay for a big family!!

[@ScoopGirl]

I'm off Sundays and Mondays so Saturday nights and Sunday nights are good for me to help on moding streams. House looks awesome love it

[@cutthelandline]

Deli please try building in the game Tiny Glade. The asmr and calming vibes would be amazing 😊

[@odarpgaming4276]

Welcome back Deli!! I really like watching your vids while I also play, I'm currently into simulator games, like supermarkets and driving. I also miss watching ur streams in Twitch!

[@IM.vero09]

Happy new year!!! I just want to see you do stuff that brings you happiness 💜

[@anythinelse]

LOVE THIS, so cool! 🤩 It ended up looking even better than the inspiration pics you showed in the beginning.

[@comealongbeth]

I’d love to see more limited pack builds. As someone who can’t have many packs due to storage and computer quality it’s really tricky to find builds on the gallery now that aren’t just base game that I can use in my game

[@AKA_Studios]

Another build idea: you make a tiny build using your favorite items that came out in 2024 and/or your least favorite!

[@t.h.8396]

I’d love to see A Day In The Life for your dogs! Especially with a new puppy!

[@emmabiberdorf6224]

I love the build focused let’s plays (like tiny town), so maybe a generations/ legacy version of that? Maybe not so Berry or something new :)

[@cloudsofsunset7323]

I find this funky house, quite charming in fact

[@aksown]

Welcome, 2025. Deli still hates fridges 😂

[@AmelieJohnston-k6h]

Would love to see sort of a legacy/family/drama let’s play!

[@kfish6347]

I’d love to see a themed house series maybe to do with the seasons or zodiac signs or something like that, maybe you could get viewers to make Sims and you pick one and build a house for them!

[@LeireFB]

Yayyy, Deli video!!!! I've missed you 🥺 I hope you have a great 2025, you deserve it! 🤍

[@MindiiSimii]

I never knew that those kinds of houses were called Origami houses. This is so cool! Also, I watched Wicked on Broadway when I was in Highschool and the movie is so good!!!!

[@hannahgear178]

I would love to see some build challenges for some of the familys that have been uploaded that you have been tagged in 🥰 or make over some of your older sims?

[@ScooterBond1970]

The mama llama and her multicolored babies made me think: 🎵 Hello world, there's a song that we're singin' C'mon, get HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!🎶

[@valerieurrunaga9087]

For new video ideas, can you do some existing buildings renovations? It’s always good to see before and afters 😊

[@janettekeizer9245]

How to recognize a real Dely build?? No fridge in the kitchen 🤣
