Plumbella: I’m gonna keep it realistic Also Plumbella: *changes the height of the entire house and adds a fireplace in the middle of it with no chimney*

[@spookyrahhh]

Ok but it's realistic for a sims gameplay, not a real build

[@fusionette]

@@spookyrahhhshe literally said “realistic to real life” but this comment was just a joke anyways

[@handsoaphandsoap]

@@fusionette that part, it's all in good fun

[@greyyyyyyyyyy]

Maybe it could be an electric fireplace? I assume they don’t need chimneys

[@CarnivalGhoul]

@@greyyyyyyyyyy I have one of those - they don't need chimneys!

[@clos4824]

I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing Plumbella say "That absolutely boiled my piss." 😂😂

[@georgiemac1784]

What about one of those sun lights that slowly become bright to wake you up like the sun?

[@michelleweird]

Exactly what I was thinking! They are so nice. There's also beds/bed covers that vibrate gently to wake you up!

[@JeziStar21]

I third this. It's a really nice quiet way to wake up. I've seen a few that have bird sounds and such as well.

[@phlutegirl]

I have one and it’s very nice

[@erenedransfeldt7555]

Wake up lights are the best! Mine is a little bit away from my bed, so I have to get up to turn it off, which makes it just that little bit easier to convince my brain to actually wake up lol

[@Anonymous-jy1kx]

I was going to comment this too! I used to have one, and as someone who is particularly sensitive to light it worked a charm 😊

[@HeisenbergFam]

6:50 "If I have alarm clock, it will piss me off" is such a mood

[@shushia1658]

My favourite alarm clock was the farming news. I'd have weird dreams about ducks and then I'd wake up and someone would be saying "you got to try raising lace ducks they're just so darling with their frilly tails and their odd gait" I was charmed!

[@glitchgoblin1338]

This is so good. I've remodeled this house dozens of times and always get rid of the front bedroom; I hate how the front porch windows lead into a bedroom.

[@shelymarks952]

Same! My first project is to switch the bedroom and the kitchen 😂

[@janniegurl05]

I think that’s normal for a shotgun style house though. The house I grew up in actually had a bedroom right next to the front door. 😅

[@vickibart3491]

​@@janniegurl05this is very very common in new Australian homes that are built. Front door has garage one side and main bedroom sometimes with floor to ceiling windows the other side!

[@kaylastarr7863]

Everyones giving alarm clock suggestions but get a cat and feed her every day when you want to be woken up, after only a coiple weeks they'll wake you up lol. My cat had me on a better schedule than any clock could

[@alicedalexandrite]

She has a cat and a dog, if I remember correctly!

[@tairneanaich]

Requires you getting up at that time to feed the cat for the first few days, though

[@BoxOKittens]

Yup. My cat wakes me up every single morning at the same time. She either sticks her face into my face, or sticks her paw into my face.

[@qwaqwaqwaq1873]

i have the same problem as plumbella, my cat just peacefully sleeps with me through the half of the day lol guess she likes sleeping more than food

[@kaylastarr7863]

@@qwaqwaqwaq1873 my cats on a pretty strict "only gets food at X time and no other meals" diet so she's not missing out lol

[@sydforce]

I find it helps alot with waking up to go to bed and wake up at at consistent times (taking into consideration that average time it takes to complete a sleep cycle - 90 min - so sleeping for 6, 7.5 or 9 hours) I find that when I do that my body naturally wakes up, feels more well rested and I don't need an alarm. Not that it's easy though...

[@Hana-ne2oo]

My sleep rhythm is fucked so I normally wake up at about 1pm, but my mom wakes me on school days and for whatever reason those are the only days my body wakes up like 10 minutes before she comes into my room

[@holladaytimes]

THAT'S why I can never sleep for 8 hours. I usually get 7 to 7 and a half hours, and then feel bad that I can't get a "full" eight hours.

[@roozz33]

Great tip! Good to know is that to get there, consistently getting up at the same time is the first step. Getting to sleep at the same time doesn't necessarily work that well, since if your body is used to sleeping late it won't let you fall asleep when you want to. The first week you'll be tired, but quickly your body will be able to sleep at the time you want to

[@babybathduck]

I have the Sims 1 buy mode music as my alarm and it really does set me up perfectly for another day labouring under late stage capitalism.

[@krbrb]

Have you ever considered one of those bed shaking alarms? I can imagine you thriving in that chaos lol

[@shannaandersonzongo8128]

It actually seems realistic like a starter home a family moved in and just kept adjusting as their needs changed. Kind of mismatched because you can’t afford to redo the whole place all the time, but cozy and functional and probably shows their personal taste.

[@julibee.]

i find it really interesting how you discuss struggling with control! when i was going through the process of getting my autism diagnosis, one of the things we talked about was my strong sense of control and needing to constantly be in control and the way that i very clearly displayed that throughout my life was through the sims. it is so comforting to me to know i'm not the only autistic girlie out there who satisfies that need for control through the sims 😭

[@kill4karma]

I'm not a girl but I'm also autistic and have the same need for control and fulfil that through the Sims, you definitely aren't alone!

[@grilledcheeseaspiration]

One thing that helped me with waking up early to an alarm was to choose a cheerful/soft one that isn't set too loud and is much nicer to wake up to, compared to the loud af ones that are like BAARRP BAARP BAARP BAARP (HATE those). Experiment with the volume as well and see how low you can have it and still wake up. It always sucks to wake up at a certain time but it's definitely easier when its a bit more gentle and doesn't jump scare you awake.

[@lekiscool]

Waking up is a transition, so maybe if you give yourself transition time after you wake up?

[@xErinxx]

This is what works for me! I have crazy alarm times (ex. 6:53, 7:27) to allot myself a few minutes between waking up and physically getting out of bed. 5 minutes is too long to where I won’t want to get out of bed, so I give myself 2-4 minutes depending on how groggy I think I’ll be

[@sophiebean2610]

your struggle with when to sleep is so relatable 😭 i love being up during the morning but i always get a burst of energy at night so i end up staying up too late to wake up in the morning then i'm just miserable all day because i didn't get to see the sun rise and i can't sleep during the day because then i can't do anything and i just end up feeling like i've lost days even when i did things all night.

[@liablau]

How stunning that turned out! The kid's room is absolutely fantastic, I am in love.

[@Dreaminlace]

I feel like I’ve seen a dozen Renos on this base game starter but will never tire or watching people throw it some shade

[@benamisai-kham5892]

Omg when you said your true self comes out after 12, I felt that. I don't feel awake until midnight. I'm a night creature by all means, restricted, no, forced to be a morning person. I'm honestly the most put together me after midnight, especially between 2-4 am. It's a shame because I have responsibilities and can't live on an unhinged schedule of sleeping between 11am and 2pm til 9pm

[@carcookie12]

the thing i do is spending time in bed as a transition time or whatever before i get up or go to sleep. getting up the second after your alarm rings is simply not possible for me

[@raininghail4049]

This house looks perfect for my sim in the future! She’s only in university now, but I’m going to go out of my way to use it, if for no other reason than her believing no one would ❤❤

[@xlaurenh98x]

Unrelated to everything but obsessed with your office door looking like it has a lil ombre effect with the colours reflecting from the wall. It actually looks so pretty! (still obsessed with your painted walls too I LOVEEE)

[@elena12943]

I actually love how the house came out!! Especially the outside and the dark aesthetic of everything 🖤

[@leahhanna2335]

Have you tried Alarmy? The free version lets you scan a barcode to turn the alarm off. So i set it to the cocoa powder in my pantry. Or you can do math or shake it but Ive found it's very helpful

[@eliscent5664]

Have you tried a light alarm? It's like one of these bright light lamps that help with depression too, they start with sunrise colours and end in the brightest setting, blasting it on your face and it'll naturally wake you up. some come with rain sounds too and stuff. or bird singing.

[@babufrik7051]

I literally sometimes just randomly start to laugh in the middle of your video cuz i love your accent 😂 Like it just makes me so Happy. lol

[@WLotus]

This renovation is FAR better than the way it looked before!

[@MaeTheGhost]

About the alarm thing, I'm deaf and use a vibrating alarm clock that has this thing that sticks under my mattress and shakes the bed. It's very effective! Maybe that would work for you :)

[@yamzeita6817]

Honestly the whole sleep situation and getting a burst of energy like after 12 am but still being a morning person, is literally me. And I'm not sure what to do about it 😅

[@emsparklemoji]

This is why I loooove the Samsung alarm Morning Flower. I first used it when I was 15 and ten years later I'm still not sick of it. It's a miracle to find that one alarm tone that doesn't make you hate waking up 😭

[@Cateyez380]

More day beds would be a nice change.

[@kallumheywood921]

As a fellow autistic, sleeping with the curtains open and waking up with the sun really helps me

[@shaniaduchene8063]

Honestly I love this house so much! I love how the parent has a very dark and moody room/decor but the child has a bright pastel room. I’m a sucker for a dark and moody pallet though!

Going to bed and waking up is miserable for me too!!! I really thought I was the only one wow 😅

[@itschelseakay]

I really like the reno so I’m glad you posted this!!! Thank you for sharing it with us 🥰

[@colettelee1162]

Came up with a wee rhyme to help me change my sleep patterns: 'Adjust exercise, then the time you arise.' I added activity to my days, then by the end of the day I was tired naturally, and as I started falling asleep earlier, I woke up earlier. Also have more energy from exercising! I got an alarm off Amazon that mimics sunrise and plays bird calls, and placed it so I need to get out of bed to turn it off. I only turn on gentle lights when I wake up as well. My kitty takes me for walks first thing, too, so if I sleep through, I might wake up to a fuzzy face peering into mine, or be nuzzled awake! 😻

Set an alarm to meditation music that gradually gets louder! That way you wont hate your favourite band, and the sound being quiet first is a more gentle alarm

i get it!! i am such a morning person, i feel better and do better. But feeling like i unlock when i stay up late and pull those allnighters too!! the chaos of the night calls me

[@kellysueballard7654]

My favorite alarm clock that i ever had was equiped with multiple alarm sounds, so you can wake up to just about anything. And it starts of at a whisper but it will progressesly get louder the longer it goes on. I would love to get one again. It also had sounds to fall asleep to. Golly, i miss that clock.

[@_babyabdalla]

I usually hate the Sims builds because I'm an architect so I just see the wrong stuff, but this is actually good!! I LOVE IT!!! Seriously it's amazing. ♥

[@anironsidh]

I think I've renovated this build too 😂

[@raven_moonshine39]

10:13 - Honestly, the time in my life when I was physically and mentally the healthiest I've ever been was when I was between semesters in college and wasn't working and I just stayed up all night/morning and slept through the day. I would got to bed around noon and wake up around 5pm naturally feeling absolutely refreshed for the first time in my entire life. If the world weren't so day-centric I seriously think those of us who are meant to be awake at night would be so much happier.

[@Reicha]

Tiling can be *so much fun* AND such hell - especially if you're on the spectrum, getting the tiles all perfectly aligned and straight is both deeply satisfying and absolute torturous hell. I helped my dad tile a bathroom as a kid. He ran and still runs building firms but still does work himself by request or for friends, and tiling is the worst because he gets SO meticulous about it. So of course all clients insist he does it even though it takes much longer - and he's in there having panic attacks over the one slightly skewed tile noone else will EVER notice. xD Poor man. I had to come confirm it was "passable" when he was in a rush to lay some flagstone because a worker was sick. Every other frickin sidewalk in the area looked crooked afterwards.

[@user-pn3kz6yx4z]

is it just me that absolutely LOVES her saying "Hello Hens how are you all didly doing"

[@GuidingLightDogs]

The Alarmy app helps me with getting up - you had to do matching puzzles (like Simon says on among us), basic maths questions, take pictures, shake your phone or type in a word to turn off the alarm and it helps wake your brain up plus you can’t just turn it off in your sleep

[@planettv]

I though of a way EA could refresh the beds. I like the way the beds are handled in TS2 and thought maybe the game could do it that way, but then I got in idea. I have seen some custom content creators separate the mattress from the bed frame. They could have mattresses, A, B and C. Mattress A could be upgraded, but it would not be as comfortable as B, while B could be upgraded, but it would not be as comfortable as C, and C could be upgraded and that would be max comfort. There would be single and double bed versions. The single bed mattresses would have all the single bed bedding available across all single beds and the double bed mattresses would have all the double bed bedding available across all double beds. The bedding that just appears for single beds could finally get a double bed version and the bedding that just appears for doubles beds could finally get a single bed version. The game could have mattress A be free while the other two, B and C, could be a set prices, or unlocked when you reach certain levels of the handiness skill. As for toddler beds, there would be one mattress, it would have all the bedding available across all toddler beds and would be free.

[@srsr223]

“Do i like it? … no.” I laughed out loud

[@estoires_]

i think theres this alarm lamp jesse that wakes you up with a gradual light and its suppose to mimic the sunrise or something and wake you up naturally that way. That could be something to look into?? potentially

[@Wahots79]

I love it! I like the dark moody feel to it!

[@TheCabforlife]

Have you got an iPhone? Birdsong alarm tone. Peaceful waking, trust me. I’m up every morning at effing ridiculous o clock for work. BIRDSONG.

[@oliviawhite2267]

We sound very similar in being very efficient at night, hating falling asleep and waking up. I have to be medicated to sleep or I don’t but I swear when 10pm hits it’s like someone gave me adrenaline, I suddenly want to clean my whole house and do everything I put off earlier in the day. I won’t sleep at night without meds at all, it’s kind of a problem. Anyways, the only thing I found to wake me up pleasantly without making me sensitive to the stereotypical alarm sound-I still cringe when I hear it on tv shows-is this alarm clock that mimics the sunrise to wake you up. A lot of what our natural wake up needs is sunlight especially people who have their circadian rhythm off. The alarm clock is half of a bulb on top with the time and buttons on the bottom and it slowly gets brighter from one time till the time you want to get up. Instead of jarring you awake it slowly brings you back nicely so you don’t get that annoying jerk reaction when you were sleeping really well. If you google sunrise alarm clock there’s a few variations but I’m sure most of them do the same thing. When I use it it’s the only time in my entire life that I’ve woken up pleasantly cuz I am NOT a morning person and am perfectly happy staying up all night and sleeping all day but like you said, it’s not very realistic in this world lol.

[@ilovebellagoth]

I just want to say thank you for being you Plumbella! I've just had my top surgery 4 week ago (also loving the trans pride coloured top🥹😂) and you and your content are absolutely getting me through my recovery and curing my boredom! Hope you're having a lovely day, lysm💙

[@halaostaa]

This is what I do for alarm and it’s great. Only works if you have a carpet next to your bed though. Pick the most gentle alarm sound that comes with your phone and have it at lowest setting and make sure the phone vibrates. Then leave it on the carpet by your bed. That will muffle the vibration and sound enough to not startle you awake but still wake you up gently. It’s 10/10 and you dont need to buy anything

[@moniquecutajar1142]

Love, I want it to be realistic - changes wall height. Haha Also, with waking up try classical music, could be calming but also who cares if you start to hate dead dudes. :)

I'm 100% the same with alarms! Recently I've been using my phone alarm with no sound and just it vibrating against my table, but that's not for waking up, it's just for telling me when I can eat after taking my thyroid meds

I genuinely think this build is beautiful! Really cool style!

[@NiaMariaePlays]

i have the EXACT same sleep problems (also autistic). i spoke with an occupational therapist who gave me sleep hygiene tips. i now try to be in bed by midnight every night regardless of whether or not i'm tired. by doing this i usually manage to wake up by 8am (and actually hear my alarms sometimes).

[@rivenr958]

I think sunlight helps with waking up so if you have a window close enough to let light around your face it might help w waking up. It’s not like an alarm clock where it will immediately wake you up but I’m pretty sure it helps stop melatonin from producing.

[@UvThe1st]

For the waking up struggle - this is not a cheap alarm by any means BUT - automatic curtains that open at a certain time of the day, so that you're woken by the natural sunlight instead of something violent that can be snoozed. Then remember to keep the remote for the curtains out of reach :)

I had an alarm clock a loooong time ago, it had a crowing cockerel setting. I still don't know what happened to that clock but I recently remembered how... not jarring that sound was (maybe it was growing up in the country, not sure if it'll work for anyone else but thought it be worth mentioning). I downloaded a Cockerel notification recently and it works.

[@lewhoff3857]

Get two cats and feed them at the time you feel best waking up at. I have a 7:30am alarm. But some how also a 4am alarm that the “alarm” set. My white cat, Falcor, pricks me with his nail, after staring at me for a bit. Then Bastian, the black one, comes to lay on my chest and purr.

[@AllisonFischer]

I got an alarm with a vibrating circle thing you put under your mattress, but it didn’t work for me, it ended up shaking itself out between the slats and just hung vibrating in a gap between my mattress and on the dust ruffle, not waking me up at all. I think it would work if you had a box spring? Maybe you just need a Rooster 😂 I thought about those robot alarm clocks that roll away from you and you have to find, because I will zombie hit snooze and have no recollection of it. I have about 10 alarms 15 minutes apart (all a different sound) on my phone just because I have hit snooze and been two hours late to work once.
