I hope you enjoyed this video - let me know what else you’d like to see in the comments below!

[@MsNyteshift]

I love how none of the items are a perfect match to the rest, yet because they are in mostly neutral colours, it all looks so good together. I love how lived in you make your builds look, no matter the “theme”. Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@shannonhughes8488]

i really recommend listening to audiobooks to help get back into reading! your local library will have a huge selection of free books, you don't need to pay for audible or anything. for a really fun sci-fi adventure i recommend the aurora cycle by jay kristoff and amie kaufman, the audiobooks have a full cast and are really well produced. i like to listen while building sims builds C:

[@sophiamayo4457]

This is so cute! Also, since you said you like fiction and sci-fi, I recommend "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers. It was assigned reading for one of my college classes, and even though sci-fi isn't my usual preference, I absolutely fell in love with this book.

[@heg203]

Great book!

[@tovagb5276]

Oh my gosh, I was just about to come here to recommend A Psalm for the Wild-Built and this was the first comment I saw!

[@subtlefires]

Becky Chambers also wrote "to be taught, if fortunate" which is also amazing!

[@jupiterthree5228]

Those dirt piles are awesome. I would love to see more objects like that for detailing.

[@Pastel_Goddess]

This is so absolutely stunning and cozy, yet the whites and neutrals are super calming! I definitely want to live here in real life.

[@SynLynx]

That kitchen rug and wardrobe 😍 love the colors

[@jessiekano]

I’d love to see you do another tiny bus / van with van life being so popular these days!

[@fullmns]

this is one of the most beautiful builds i've seen omg

[@allieblithe]

i cant handle the tiny mushrooms in the yard!!! oh my gosh!!! super cute build :)

[@lisafinch5823]

What an amazingly beautiful build! I absolutely love how it turned out, truly magical! Honestly, if you want to get back into reading but feel like you cannot find the time, I cannot recommend audio books enough. They definitely took some getting used to for me because my mind tends to drift, but you could always put on an audiobook while editing, for example! I don't really read a lot of sci-fi, but I feel like you would maybe enjoy Alice Oseman's writing a lot. Just based on vibes!

[@Bizille]

This is adorable! Also, our kitchen has a cabinet for extra storage, so that touch is perfect!

[@alittlewarlord]

As far as sci-fi book recs go, Red Rising has absolutely catapulted me out of reading slumps three times over and counting, if you're into the more gritty space-rebellion type stuff! This build just makes me so happy, every time you do something more rustic I'm just like *grabby hands* I WANT TO LIVE THERE. And the roofing is incredible!!

[@pauieeepau]

I relate to not having time for reading. I picked up reading novels again last year, but between art and work and games, I'm too distracted. I'm rereading Jade City soon so I can continue with the rest of the Green Bone Saga books. I also collected a lot of books I need to read lol. Need to make time. Lovely build btw!

[@emileblignaut9023]

😍 Love the build. This house is very inspiring .🏠

[@roxxisquared15]

I recommend The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling! It's a fun, witchy read and features a cozy little Halloweentown-esque place called Graves Glen. I think you'll love it.

[@Lvl1Critters]

idk why but this home could fit in a studio ghibli movie to me, it just feels like something you'd stumble upon in the forest by accident, and a sweet hearted old lady lives here who makes you some tea and lets you cuddle her many cats that arn't really ones she owns she just lets the strays wander in and out

[@lindadeuville1483]

I love this little cottage. I love building the tiny houses too. Now roofing is my Achilles heal.

[@ericamcreynolds5710]

Such whimsy. Im always impressed with how well you squeeze things into tiny spaces. I am forever in love with books. I'm excited you asked because now I can check out your recommendations as well. Throne of glass novel series by Sarah j Maas. Sarah J Maas is very popular in book groups. I read a book called the Southern bookclubs guide to slaying vampires by Grady hendrix and it honestly gave me chills. I've been reading a series called the raven cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. I mostly borrow books from my local library and they have a really great selection of audio books as well.

[@kiwionpizza4636]

I highly recommend The Giver. It's a futuristic dystopia novel series

[@Kooloverxo]

Hey MsGryphi I wanted to say that I really liked the house and I wanted to give you an idea for a house that you might want to build. The house is a large country house with two floors, but it's not just any country house, it's actually also combined with the Eco Lifesty extension house. This house will also include room for six people including a dog, but the most important thing for me is that it came out in your style, which by the way I really like, I hope you can build it.... I love you Abigail, your fan🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@homocatphenomena7168]

Stunning! This makes me want to get a wardrobe for my dining room to hide all my clutter!

[@HonestInsightsTarot]

This is a beautiful build. I would say I'm more curious than excited. I won't be excited until I know more information. Otherwise I psych myself up too much and end up disappointed when it doesn't live up to the ideas I had in my brain of what it could be - this applies to almost anything - shows, movies, games, etc. So I try to just remain neutral and avoid the hype so that I can just observe and be pleasantly surprised or objectively disappointed rather than disappointed because I set myself up for it. lol @ My brain. That being said, I've never been one of the people eagerly awaiting freed babies. I don't really care for my own purposes, but I'm happy for all the people who have been asking for them for years. I imagine they're as excited as I was when we got the update for properly functional bunk beds.

[@felbarashla]

If you’re still looking for book suggestions, Delphi in Space series is a good long scifi series where the books are pretty quick reads.

[@fayewild1574]

This is sosososo CUTE!! I would love to see you do one like this in a more gothic style(unless you already have and I’ve totally forgotten🤯) Also, I totally get what you mean about hobbies being hard to find time for! My favorite thing to do is overlap and listen to an audiobook while I crochet, feels like I can do two things at once, highly recommend!

[@Hannah_G]

My favourite sci-fi series is the lunar chronicles by marissa Meyer

[@serenafernandez2892]

Love this vibe so much! I think watching the landscaping was my favorite part! You’re so creative and I love all your ideas that you display in your videos!

[@kymellin]

I love this build. Watching you create this fantasy garden around the cutest little house was amazing! I'm also trying to get back into reading (getting help for migraines so I can see pages again). I have a library card that lets me get Hoopla on my tablet and I get graphic novels to read that way. When words are hard, the pictures help draw my eyes along. My genre is horror, which actually aligns with sci-fi often. But I'll send my husband's current favorite recommendation for a sci-fi book series: James S.A. Corey's Expanse series. They're large, but not too heavy, and the world-building is top notch. I tend to read short-story collections, like The Best Science Fiction (of whatever year). That way I'm exposed to different writing styles and can move on easily to something else if I just don't like a particular story. Good luck in getting some downtime hobbies back in rotation! It's worth the hassle.

[@taylorkelly1909]

You could always listen to audio books while editing videos or out and about on the go. I want to start reading more again aswell I might try it out.

[@robinriffle16]

You make such awesome builds I'm so jealous because I have no packs on my PlayStation😢 And I really love building in The Sims I mean that's like my favorite thing to do and I'm not very good at it I love to decorate. And you make it look so easy and all your builds always look so good. I'm so jealous 😁

[@simlysash]

So pretty!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheShayde2000]

Adorable!

[@pamelasledge9963]

So pretty, reminds me of springtime 🌷!

[@mermaidqueen9881]

This is soooo pretty! Love it

[@julianabp840]

Eu absolutamente amo as suas casas, especialmente as Cottage. Sinto aconchego quase instantâneo. Acho lindo o jeito que você enche ela de objetos e o quão realista e mágico fica, ao mesmo tempo. Obrigada pelos vídeos. 🧡

[@snowwhitebeautiful3474]

So great 🥰

[@thesunforest5178]

This cottage is an absolute DREAM! Also, I don‘t read sci-fi but if you happen to be interested in low fantasy I‘d absolutely recommend Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. It‘s one of my favourite books. Other than that I can also really recommend Reckless by Cornelia Funke who is my favourite author. Check them out if you feel like it😊

[@RoxyLuffer]

More excited about possibly 2 expansion packs. I have NO want at all for infants, myself. I know that there are a LOT of other simmers that do...I just don't do family based gameplay XD I HAVE one, and I might just restart them, because of infants coming, but only so that I can try family style gameplay at least once XD But I am MOST excited about Expansion Packs o3o GIVE ME PIXIES!! BOOK SUGGESTIONS! Book series: Trader Tales of the Solar Clipper. Book 1: Quarter Share. It's the story of Ishmael Horatio Wang (pronounced like Gong), who ends up having to leave the planet of his home of 18 years because of a tragic accident, and he either has to find work, or get deported off-planet. So he finds work on a mercantile Freighter ship as a Mess Deck Attendant! This book, and series chronicles his passage through the ranks, among other things. There's no combat, it's more of a Sci-fi Slice-Of-Life, and it's one of my favourite book series =3 Book Series: A Smuggler's Tale. (Same universe, comes after the series I just mentioned chronologically, I think. First book is "Milk Run". If you want to run through the whole series Chronologically use this link: solarclipper.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline

[@resenique3848]

I really really love your builds! Most especially tiny homes like these. Also, we're the same 🥹 I've been wanting to get back to reading and crocheting but I don't have the capacity to do sooo. But I recommend Percy Jackson and The Last Olympians Series 🫶

[@Sassy.Sasquatch]

A great sci-fi audiobook recommendation would be Project Hall Mary. That way you can "read" and play the sims

[@roaringbugtv7519]

I've noticed you are excellent at roofing. I'm very impressed. If you want a good read then I recommend Patricia Briggs series of books called Mercy Thompson. It's about a shaping coyote woman living in a modern city where werewolves, vampires, and fairies pretend to be normal humans.

[@cat-threefold]

all of the little mushrooms are the perfect touch 😭

[@SkippingBrain]

Love this build! I also recently got back into reading and I did it by starting a light fantasy series called ACOTAR. Highly recommend!!

[@tatiane6389]

rip cutting boards, you’ll be missed ✊🏻 lol jokes aside, this is absolutely ADORABLE!

[@nooboonika]

Ohh so cute 😍

[@16taysia]

If you really like the HP series then the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage is AMAZING 🤩 ❤😊

[@selenajackson6012]

for book i recommend DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS 🥰

[@annikakate]

You should make a cottage for each zodiac sign!

[@secretly-a-kobold]

16:42 when you said egg chai my first instinct was which one

[@chloearmenta]

This house is so cute

[@Gryphi]

Thank you!

[@Geospasmic]

I was just trying something with that slanted roof and couldn't figure it out!

[@lindadeuville1483]

Janet Evanovich is an American writer. Her books are funny and well-written. Her main character is a Bounty Hunter who is real bad at her job.

[@kaylaherbet7323]

I actually do wish they did a fairy expansion pack of some sort

[@aellyn2764]

Hi ! I usually do not leave a comment even if your channel is my safe place, but I heard you needed books suggestion so I thought I should share my favourite book : « The long way to a small, angry planet » ! I think other people already talked about it, but I really think you could enjoy reading it. Have a great day ! 🤍

[@cherade99]

You might like to read The Culture books by Iain M Banks. I'm especially fond of The Player of Games.

[@charleneswinson658]

This is so AMAZING! and... it's built in one of my favorite spots!

[@chantelleyt22]

Not Sci fi but.... you should check out ' the gilded ones' by namina forna, there are 2 books 💓

[@daniellegately6090]

This build is so cute!! Your builds are always amazing. The series A Court of Thorns and Roses is such an amazing series. Highly recommend. 😊

[@TerquoiseTiedjens13]

As a sims builder, this build is so amazing it's truly aspirational.🤩I love all the little details and the landscaping so much!

[@nalman6471]

Can you do an updated roof tutorial

[@lexxphil]

How do you get that live edit option in the filter section?

[@zoeys3346]

You should check out "Appolonia" by Jamie McGuire...great author. Such a cute build

[@mystery2sister445]

Hey Love the house I was wonddering less u can do and Ocluss sims build with witch vampire and werewolf. Sorry I am horable at spelling

[@dark_shadw3991]

Hi I love your videos, and I have a question. Do you use a re-shade pack for your builds if yes can you share a link to download it? If you dont want to its completely fine! 🙂

[@Gryphi]

Yes! It's linked in the description.

[@RaeAyame]

reading rec: the illuminae files

[@Lux_ifer]

How can i use the t.o.o.l. extension?

[@samuelhader1288]

I have a weird question for you. can u make a house that has a current aesthetic called coastal grandma. if you dont know what it is, its like a grandma beach house. you can search it up. Thats all im asking and you dont really have to do it because its most likely a slight sugestion

[@nittarogers-mj6ut]

I made it lol

[@kendraharer5753]

Adorable!
