I bought copious amounts of The Sims 4 merch from Etsy :)

[@MrTommybowen]

So I'm the crafter behind Build Mode, and I saw you use it in this video and literally cried. You've made me so happy. Thank you so much for ordering from me, and etsy sellers like me.

[@mackerelsmuggler1295]

I LOVED that little Build Mode nook!! Great idea and so so adorable. Great job!!

[@MrTommybowen]

Imagine being a Sims Etsy maker and you read the name Jesse McNamara in Middleborough has ordered from you. I'd fall over.

[@mwaistudio]

so.. thats my keychain in the video. i’m still shaking and tearing up. jesse thank you so so so much for ordering and including it in your video and also your kind words. i still cant believe it? i cant thank you enough, it really means so much to me (and i‘m sure all other small businesses!) i cant thank you enough for your nice words! (yes my parents have watched this video like 10 times by now and keep going thats your keychain! and pointing at the tv) (coolest moment ever tysm!) it makes it even more special that its you because i‘ve been watching you for years and can relate to you so much. once again thank you!

[@nataliehalpern7985]

seeing you read all the notes from the shop owners getting excited to see your order made me cry - it’s so sweet how supporting each other makes everyone feel so good and loved

[@citronklemmaren]

Me too! :’) Oh my gosh

[@mornasev]

I agree! It's only made better by the fact that Jessie doesn't realize how famous she is!

[@zackw7609]

Same here! I wasn't expecting it but I really teared up at the notes and Jess's reaction to them all!

[@turtrenald4027]

Not Jesse forgetting that there's 700k+ people that love her content and personality.

[@elizabethfromm7915]

that's honestly super hard for autistic people like her and I to do lol the rejection sensitive dysphoria is real, babes

[@strekozkaplays]

I mean when it's just a number on a screen and probably half the comments are weird bots, a human brain can't conceive that many actual people (or anything I guess) in physical existence 😅 But then going into such a niche area of independent artist made stuff on etsy, there's bound to be people there who are part of the 700k 😊

[@kkuudandere]

wait why are all these items SO cute. the build mode sculpture diorama thingy?? i had never considered just like.,, making a lil sims room in 3D. i genuinely want one.

[@PWNDON]

what if a sims dollhouse got real?

[@maiyeknight]

@@PWNDONomg… how about that but it’s just a grid in your choice of size with panels for the walls and floor tiles and game build/buy mode objects you can place… 😂 I’m sure it would be too much, too many pieces, but that would merge so many of my favorite things… you could even have dolls of the main Sims characters and outfits for them. 🤯

[@fishythom5910]

This is so much better than those crappy wish haul videos. Supporting artists and seeing all the wonderful items is so much fun! pls do more videos like this in the future I really loved this video

[@faepan]

yes please!!

[@morganunraveled]

YES. we need more hauls like this!! support smalllll! it goes so much further. you get special unique items and you support a makers craft and dream.

[@StoryGirl83]

If you released a lore book I would definitely want to buy it. And it should be required reading for anyone working on the Sims in an official capacity.

[@ZanyMe]

Hey @plumbella, bit random but just wanted to say a big thank you as I got my autism diagnosis this week! I first started asking myself about it when I started watching your videos in lockdown and talking about it... Nearly 3 years later, it's official! I love all your Sims content (one of my special interests too haha) but hearing you being so open about it made me realize I knew nothing about autism, and I've finally been able to figure out something huge in my life... Much love to you! 💖💖💖

[@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459]

I literally just got up from a good thorough crying session after failing at socializing at a holiday party and there's a new plumbella vid. Sometimes I do believe in fate.

Quick reminder that no one loses sleep replaying the stupid thing you think you said but you.

Came for the random Etsy things stayed for the wholesome notes from all the creators fangirling 🥰

[@rebekahherskovitz6060]

Something that would be really cool for someone on Etsy to make, could be like, a plumbob mood ring. And the colors it changes, are the colors of the sims emotions. Like, purple (playful), yellow (embarrassed), red (angry), etc.

[@ToxicSherbetSyringe]

I wanna boost your comment so much! That'd be AWESOME!!

[@TVDAnnu]

As much as I love a chaotic wish/AliExpress etc haul with funny things that have no hope of being good, I love videos of supporting and showcasing small artists, esp now with all the ai stuff. This legit made me want to go get the stickers you got too! (Especially bc many KZbinrs are in the us and so their orders are from us store but ordering something from say Germany is way more feasible to me as someone in the EU!)

[@alison247mitzy2]

I really want this to become a semi-regular series. What a great way to showcase creators.

[@antisocialbunbun]

Omg the key cap is so cute and all the cowplant stuff! Etsy sellers have upped their sims items since last I looked, you found some cute stuff. I always want to make or find artsy sims inspired landscapes or something that aren’t obviously fan art so I could display them in my house ~subtly and chicly.~

[@annabecker5314]

Jesse mentioning ATEEZ has collided my two worlds in the best possible way 😂🖤

[@antheatreanor7832]

If you want to release a book, it’d be amazing to have it as an official lore book in collaboration with the Sims team so all the lore is backed up by sim gurus and they can give special info that may be hard to find, etc. It’s nice seeing unofficial sims books, but knowing the Sims team appreciate your hard work would be all the more special ❤

Jessi there is a website I am trying to think of the name but you can submit books on there and as people buy them they print them. I think that’s how the sims cook book was done. If I figure the name out I will come back and comment.

The Sims 2 game guide was literally my Bible as a child, I got so happy when you showed it Like seeing an old friend again lol

[@strekozkaplays]

FYI: if you see some earrings you really like but are concerned about the hooks irritating your ears, just buy some silver/gold/gold plated earring hooks along with your order (also on etsy) and replace them when you get em - it's very easy and some pliers will do the trick. Headbands...I haven't been able to wear them since I was a child. My head's too sensitive.

Etsy has so many amazing businesses. I love getting funny shirts related to my autoimmune disease and mobility issues.
