I really wish they did a update on del Sol Valley. I feel like it has so much great potential. Great build as always!! 👏🏽

[@pauldarling810]

Ikr? i was expecting maybe a few beach lots and an apartment building/penthouse

[@ghostin3992]

i thought it would make more sense for the super rich mega popular celebrities to live like literally next to a beautiful ocean view but you do you sims team :D

[@AnnaYV]

I feel like this is a theme for the sims 4 lately..missing the potential in a world 🙄

[@kittymeow90]

@@pauldarling810 yes 🙌

[@a.b.7932]

I would love for them two add 1-2 lots to every neighborhood minus the three base games worlds, Widenburg, and Brindleton Bay because I think they’re all pretty solid!

[@Amandaplayssims]

I love this build, the large lots in Del Sol feel so awkward so using the shells is a really good idea. This home feels like a family actually lives there, it’s comforting!

[@Natty58852]

I feel like they should’ve added the ability to have 2 households on one lot with this pack. Bc here in LA it’s so common for bigger pieces of land in the more city area to have duplexes rather than one home.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

Love realistic, small bungalow homes from you. Would love to see more houses with 1 story and a basement from you, that is very common in Canada

[@kqmile5706]

I know this would be so out of the blue and probably something you've never done before, but I've never seen anyone build like a post-soviet apartment building, I think that would be such a cool idea

[@sheIIsea]

Laminate flooring is what you were trying to think about... lol and yesss. my dad had a recliner that was HIS spot. There was even an indent perfectly matched to where his head would rest. He's been gone since 2011 and when i think of him i still picture him in that recliner, chillin, watching the History channel. Miss him so much.

[@lukevanwyngaardt6584]

I love how mundane and realistic this house looks. Definitely something I'd want in my saves. Also, an idea for a build: Try building a South African middle class house.

[@glossorglam]

lol imagine having to build big walls around the build it would look so weird, 😭

[@elizacrocadilly]

Honestly baffles me how amazing you are at building and creating a story through your builds. 100% my favourite builder for the sims! Thank you for making my game so much more fun and interesting :)

[@goldenchick85]

I love how realistic this house looks. The neighborhood looks older, so it makes sense that the house would also be older. I wish you could make over all the other houses in this neighborhood to look similar to this one. And yeah, this lot is massive. I’ve seen other builders put two houses on it.

[@karinakoco]

Your builds are so comforting to me. I love them so much

[@ashleyhoran5388]

I love the movie Now and Then! I need to watch that again.

[@DehydratedHumor]

I love building townhouses/row houses so I would be overjoyed to have the option to do multiple families on a single lot. I feel like people would get so creative with that and I'm surprised it hasn't been done by either EA or a CC creator yet. I'd also love to be able to have two different lot types on a single lot so I could do a functional store downstairs and functional apartment upstairs. Or a community lot that's both a gym and a cafe.

[@Luke_Byrd]

Now and Then is such an under appreciated film, it's almost like a female version of stand by me. It's a favorite of mine, so glad you love it too! Thanks for sharing

[@debradavis3935]

Another great build! This reminds me so much of my grandparents house when I was growing up. It’s just a simple house with lots of neutral colors, cozy and lived in. Great job! 💜

[@michellemurfett8855]

I really love this house. The design, layout and commentary show how thoughtful you are in both planning and execution. Thank you.

[@_smolSam]

You have been reading my mind lately! Last night I was struggling to find something to put on this lot because it's such an odd size and the houses in the neighborhood look so small. This is perfect!

[@ashleycooperpop]

now and then is such a good movie!! loved watching it when I was a kid

[@Chosengal23]

Yes! I'm playing Sims and watching this. You comfort me haha! I always watch your builds before I go to sleep. Your very comforting

[@simpublic89]

Omg I love this lot and especially how you used prop houses and the amount of greenery on this lot, it's one of my fav builds ever on youtube now, SimLicy you are astonishing xxxx

[@ericamcreynolds5710]

Now and then is still one of my all time favourite movies. Wonderful home as always Dawn

[@Hearts4Daizy]

Hello Dawn i really appreciate your builds you give me so much motivation and insparition❤️

[@Kelticmoonstar]

This is perfect! It has a story. It looks like a real home. Some Sims builds don't have that realistic feel, like a family lived there. This one does! GREAT JOB!!

[@NSLuna]

Now and then was one of my favourtite movies when i was younger. Devon Sawa was my first crush 😍

[@missliss2581able]

I did something kind of similar but I built three craftsman style homes on that lot but with a shared backyard. I remade the Crumplebottom witch sisters from TS3, gave them spouses and kids and pretend they are filming the in game “Growing Up Crumplebottom” reality show mentioned in game 😂 but I often do that with awkwardly large lots, build multiple homes and have family members or friends share the lot

[@a.b.7932]

I really like this build! I really wanna recreate it with my own twist and make a single dad with two kids to live in it.

[@landonlee5629]

‘Now and Then’ was my favorite movie growing up! I have yet to meet someone whos also seen it!

[@Grrmii]

i love how you did a realistic build cus i often see like the single parents build and they end up living in a 2 story home thats super big.... so please do more like these realistic ones

[@syeiwon]

wow this house really reminds me of my great grandma’s house in california!!

[@QueenB_Bullish]

i love your builds! i do have a hard time building houses in the sims.. i will try doing what you've been doing.. since most of the time i have no idea as to what the shell of the house should look like.

[@hamzah5408]

This house reminds me of the Paper Girls series!!!! Amazing

[@J_Adams]

This is amazing! Defo using it in my next save

[@LittleBitOfLife]

What a beautiful a homey build!

[@ryuuseiranger5426]

Lovely build! This is perfect for that awkward lot in Mirage Park!

[@ericawinchester2250]

My washer and dryer are in my kitchen! My house/neighborhood was built in the ‘50s for military families so it’s very realistic!

[@Marmuzele]

Amazing! Will this be on the gallery?:)

[@katie_cook95]

Love this home! I haven't played any in del sol, but this house makes me want to! I also really don't like the lighting in copperdale. When I build I like to build in the morning lighting, and I literally can't do it there because it's dark like night time to me 🤣 I love the neighborhood, but the lighting is a little challenging.

[@emmaA-]

Love a realistic house 😍😍

[@cherryrush.]

I love Now and Then! One of my favorite coming of age movies

[@mayajasmine2111]

I would love to see a couple houses built on this lot!

[@kaylee7009]

My washer and dryer was in a closet in the kitchen growing up in the US!

[@shannonhudgins]

the house I grew up in had washer/dryer just through the kitchen, the first house my husband I owned was a washer/dryer in the kitchen. I think it's somewhat common in smaller homes. We moved into a much larger home and it has a separate washer/dryer/storage space.

[@fin_bri09]

Hiiiii love your content and this build was amazing 🙂

[@SheBeast-OG]

Man, I want to see a build buy pack of just normal furniture lol. Like not super nice, worn out stuff that would be in a normal families house. I basically want the old set of Roseanne in a pack lol.

[@coda_o7]

I loveee now & then, it's a childhood fave. The soundtrack is also amazing. Thora Birch plays the blonde character. She's also in hocus pocus and american beauty.

[@MindiiSimii]

There are some very awkward lots I think in Copperdale. Like - the lots in the middle of the forest, nothing I build fits there. Lol I did like the modern home you put there recently. I also can’t believe you have never seen washers and dryers in the kitchen. I grew up in a little “cookie cutter” housing development. A lot of the houses had them in their kitchens. I did think it was weird. Ours was tucked in a hallway. But it is something I have seen a lot of in the Midwest/Ohio.

[@juwels64]

Love this and the video!

[@Simmary]

it's so interesting how house 'standards' are so different all around the world. for example, here in the Netherlands you won't find a house without a closed off entry way, no matter how small the house is! whereas in the US, like you explained, i have barely seen any homes with an entry way. anyway, absolutely lOVE this build, so realistic and cute.

[@TheMeganExperience]

Yesss!!! Now and Then and also All I Wanna Do are the BEST!!!! (Also, you were thinking of Thora Birch!!!)

[@MsShabriaGxo]

I really like this build. My older sister has a laundry room in her kitchen.

[@mcog1234]

Beautiful bulid!

[@xcxzozo3899]

My great uncle used to have one of those singing bass plaques in his basement bar haha 😂

[@LuckyDucky917]

I LOVED Now and Then. The other actress was Thora Birch!

[@samanthakrogg4247]

My dad had a "dad" chair too!! It was in terrible condition but I sat on it every chance I could,lol.

[@sarah-jv7qm]

btw i love your builds

[@tapsfan2]

You create amazing builds, and I appreciate your teaching me decoration techniques. Question, is there an option to resize a lot to give more space, like for a farm?

[@tiffanyfaye8276]

Heyyy! New subbie. I love your builds and I will be using them in my game play

[@nikkihaas5326]

you captured single dad so realistically! That's what my dad's house looked like color scheme wise. But... that means I assume this house smells like my dad's cigarettes

[@Chandy...]

WOAH AM EARLYYYYYY!ANYWAYS😭Idk y but DEL SOL VALLEY IS LIKE IN MY TOP 5😭But...I really LOOOOVEEEEE THE BUILD TODAYYYYYYY❤️😭😭❤️

[@arielirvin951]

I just made the perfect famliy for this build a few days ago and have been looking for a house exactly like this for them lol

[@A_Crumplebottom]

The reason why older homes and mostly British homes have a washer in the kitchen is that when indoor plumbing was invented, water was only accessible from the kitchen. So, naturally, when indoor laundry machines were invented, that is where they went. Then indoor toilets became a thing, so they then went under the stairs and the stairs would be just on the other side of the wall to the kitchen. Over time, having the laundry in the kitchen became a cultural thing for boomers and British people :D

[@xavionrice1151]

Hey did simlicy upload this home to the gallery yet?

[@Ascyria]

Amazing build. Is it not on the gallery yet? I was going to use it for my new let’s play. ❤️

[@shoople]

are the beds still functional when pushed together like that? your builds are great

[@nikkobadio5933]

YESS

[@RayyRayyRAWr]

Since you guys just moved you should build your new home! Doesn’t have to be exact of course :) Edit: and then remodel it to how you’d love it to look - if you aren’t sold on cabinet colors or layout, etc

[@cutepastelaesthetic7511]

While trying to build this was a bit difficult because I kind of have to guess or try and find out how 0x0 is it Update, I've finished the layout took some time but it looks amazing well done to the creator 💙💙

[@boazbekker1113]

i use your highschool in my game i love it

[@jordandobbertin5466]

Build a couple small houses, lock the main one for the household, bam air b’n’bs with the roomate system

[@Mahalaleelle]

I would love if they had the option of multiple families on one lot, that way one of your sims can move out but you can keep a closer eye on them.

[@TheEternalNoobShow]

i tried looking on your gallery for this… i couldn’t find it though

[@jsx000]

will this be coming to the gallery soon??

[@johntmasseyjr]

Where can I download this? It's not on the gallery.

[@lorilarter4285]

i need help with tool mod, how do I get it,

[@xavier3546]

We don't even have a dining table at home- not because we can't afford one, but just because it'll get in the way because we don't have lots of room as both my parents are in wheelchairs (electric) and our kitchen is barely big enough for 3 people at once.

[@savannah8675]

I built townhomes there!

[@sarah-jv7qm]

new reshade?

[@TheEternalNoobShow]

this build is no nice! I would love to live here. also what do you use to edit?

[@Sarah-fr4ui]

I have to ask. How do you get notes drawing, etc, on the fridge? I've tried this in my homes with families, and it doesn't work.

[@annabel_nauta]

Is this on the gallery yet?

[@amberbriningstool5258]

Anyone know when this is gonna be uploaded to the gallery? It’s been like… a week? (Business week lol)

[@ana-alexiasatnoianu3213]

when will she post it on the gallery?

[@Nolameaux87]

Thora Birch played Teeny.

[@koololdster]

Those extra fake houses is a brilliant way to fill up the lot and make it feel more realistic.

[@shanatoleza8339]

How does she do that with the camera?

[@ashleegmitchell]

Yay! Someone else loves Now and Then! It's so underrated, and has an awesome soundtrack. What's your favourite part?

[@Meg_Mojo]

Does anyone have an idea how to get tray files without using the gallery ? 😢

[@222T.O.R.I]

I’m wondering if anybody can help me? When I play the sims CAS works perfectly fine but when I go to build a house for them the build menu doesn’t load. I only get the top corner thing with the gallery and the part that lets you leave. It won’t even let me leave the game, I have to restart my Mac. The bottom part that has All the build stuff isn’t there. The top part with the color swatch or the sledgehammer isn’t there either. When I updated my game it started. Can somebody help ?

[@gabbybehr183]

Maybe try fully shut off your computer for a few hours or like resign into origin I’m sorry I don’t know how to help more

[@goandtriponaknife4340]

repair ur game maybe, or remove all ur mods if u use them and put them back in one by one to find the culprit

[@tessavanheuckelom4989]

Can somebody Tell me how to get thé " debug plants" in thé plant menu ? I always have to look for debug plants between all the debug items by using thé search ... In this video thé debug plants are in thé usual plant menu

[@ultraviolet_2983]

This looks like a house that would be in gta v

[@christytan285]

How do you move your camera around like that 😯

[@sarahhhh.89]

It’s from the Sims 3 camera. At the top of the screen there is a camera icon, if you select that & camera 3 it’ll be like this ☺️

[@astrasillage]

The fake wood floors are called laminate I think? Not sure if that's what you meant.

[@Abiigaiilrx]

my washer and dryer are in my kitchen, I feel seen lol

[@rosekarbowiak9511]

Why were your windows turning orange?

[@_Luciddreams_]

I've got the little campers kit the pastel pop one and the one with the knicknacks idk Odds and ends kit idk if it is called that way or not? But oh well and then I've got werewolves magic stuffy Highschool years and cats and dogs

[@DramaOfHoney]

Am I missing something? There's no download link :(

[@kysummer2872]

I wish we could have an aunt and uncle neices and nephews that would be nice

[@ceduslupeedus]

how is she using the TOOL mod to scoot objects around??? i’ve had that mod for forever and i still can’t figure out how to move objects like that?????

[@kingkira4571]

The dad chair exist because the dad is the one that bought the chair , thats all you need to know 😂

[@tortledimlr4841]

My step dad doesn't have a dad chair, but he does have a dad sofa

[@WHAATEVEN]

It’s honestly so confusing that they gave this lot 3 driveways too
