The Dean House is a converted firehouse and he has the hidden "arsonist" trait. His dad lives with his buddies in the Grampas house and I think there's something in the dad's bio about the mom dying in a fire.
@@Harajukubarbie333 The pole is to get you from the second level to the firetruck quickly in case of a call/ The tower was used to hang hoses to dry fully.
Yes, it’s very interesting! I could tell something was up... I actually JUST learned this last night from the new pleasant sims video, I’m always looking for information since there is so much tucked away in the sims 3 worlds. Thank you for commenting and watching x
The Jones family bio says that Hannah inherited this house from her uncle. But his whole family is buried in the backyard, and urn with uncle's ashes is in that separate bedroom near the old TV. That's why this house refers to the creepy story of Winchester mansion, it was made for ghosts. when I first played with this family, I did not know about the graves here and they scared me when they appeared
Thank you for the backstory, that makes sense. Having his urn in the house would drive me crazy with the ghost, at least in the backyard they often just wander around outside, at least some of them.
@@Qermaq Interesting! Where do you come from? Here in Sweden we only had it in the past. The first time I heard about it was when I went to a municipal building that long ago had been a fire station.
@@Qermaq I don’t know! I read at the Swedish Wikipedia and the only I can read is this: “A hose tower is a tower that was used for drying and storing fire hoses at many fire stations when fire hoses were made of natural materials. Nowadays, synthetic hose materials and other methods of drying are commonly used.”
Your videos have seriously helped me so much with building in Sims, the mix of whatever EA is doing and your review of it has given me so much more to consider! I rarely visit townie houses so thankfully I don't see the mess firsthand. The bathroom sinks in the kitchen always bother me now omg I never paid attention before
- Your assignment of beds to the Broke family members actually resembles mine. I also make the kids share a trailer with the old folks, the teen guy and his father share a trailer (because they are guys), and that girl gets her own trailer with the baby crib. I never got the chance to get her pregnant, though. That crib in the trailer was used up by an adopted baby, and the Brokes adopted a baby for free because Flat Broke wanted it. Then, the Broke family got a full house.
If only Michelle Visage worked on the Sims 3, then maybe we wouldn’t have gotten all this green 🤣🤢 I never noticed how much they use it until your videos!
4:36 Why did you say it like that? xD I always assign the trailers on the Broke lot like the following: I give the left one with the baby crib to Ruby Broke, just like you. The middle one I give to Flat, Flo and Skip Broke.. Flat and Flo are the parents of Skip. The right one fits more to Flat and Flo, I agree with you on that, but this one I give to Buck and his two children.. the kids share a room which underlines how poor they are..like Trigger is a teen and Susie is the only girl.. they both should have their own space but it's not in the cards for them. 8:06 Oh I remember when I saw this lot for the first time.. I loved it and still do. 14:35 This one is indeed suppose to be an abandoned firehouse. With 'Ambitions' installed I move him out of there and turn it back into one and let him work there. 18:05 😭😂 20:28 I think this is just suppose to be a basement since the basement tool as we know it from TS3 was not given from the beginning. It came in a later patch after Riverview was released already. Great video as always and I am really looking forward for more! PS: Sorry for the long comment. 😅
You can write me as many long comments as you want, I will read them all haha... I am so happy you enjoyed the video, and thank you for clarifying that indeed is a fire house :P
The last house is loosely based off the Winchester House, and there is so much Lore involved in this house. The Winchester house was filled with rooms that led to nowhere, and there is eery Lore for that, as well. While I would rate this house a 10/10, it is a difficult one to play (especially routing issues and the constant ghost scares). But, I think you might find their Lore (as well as the Winchester House Lore) to be fascinating.
Thanks so much, it was just a bitchy impulse, but I’m learning a lot by doing this. I am not using a top tier pc or anything, but I do clean my game up and use an anti lag mod, that stuff really helps. Also using a fresh neighbourhood for each episode is a super big help. Thank you for watching and commenting x
I can't see other comments so I'm not sure if anyone said it, but the Jones house gives strong Winchester vibes. Like lots of stairs and odd rooms and additions to the house that made it a monstrosity in order to appease spirits.
this episode is a few months old, so i always forget what people commented anyway... i do see what you mean, its like it's supposed to be a big confusing haunted house almost
Whew! You've been busy, haven't you? Lol. I don't think I'm even half way through your videos!! but not complaining. Your opinions are very on point and your commentary never fails to make me smile or laugh. You are the only sims 3 youtuber I care to watch. When the game was 1st out, I LOVED Chrillsims3. Sadly, he left the community a few years ago but if You've ever seen his builds, then you know his talent was mind blowing. I miss his work so it's soooo great to have your talent to enjoy!
There are so many great builders from the past I stumble upon and what they can do blows my mind. I was so bitchy in old videos, im sorry you will hear me scream about various things 😂
@@Rekowcski nah, come on, we all get bitchy sometimes. Lol. Especially with the sims 4 crap. I love a little bitch ING here and there, tells me you're passionate about your subject.
i totally converted that firehouse into a two bedroom. i walled in the tower space and made it into a 2-story bedroom with a ladder to get between floors. in my game, i was living in there as a single guy but he got pregnant (mods lmao) and had a child. so i ended up using the tower room for the childs bedroom. It ended up working beautifully. its tricky but i fit a single bed and nightstand in on the first floor, then a dresser and reading nook on the second floor.
Hey friend. That Jones house is something that reminds me of the Winchester House in San Francisco, Ca. It has lots of weird rooms and stuff like what you found in the Jones house. If you look up the Winchester House, you can see pics of the house inside and out. And this was a real house built by the widow of the Winchester Firearms Co. founder in the 19th century. It has stairs that lead to nowhere, windows in the floors, on inside walls and doors that open to the open air on the upper floors. Look it up. It's an icon in San Francisco. Once was the tallest building in the city til the 1906 earthquake. I once use to go to my grand parents house in West Virginia and they actually had a working claw foot bathtub that I took a bath in as a little boy. It was so cool. And a wringer washing machine and a 40s era radio that didn't work.
Yes... I was thinking of doing all the world over again but doing either community or unoccupied lots. I think the 25ish houses is only about 1/3 of the builds.
Really enjoy watching these videos, you should definitely check houses of Lucky Palms (one of the best ones, in my opinion, and the old district's houses are actually community lots that got abandoned so they had to adapt them a little bit) and Roaring Heights
What a great idea. I finished filming riverview already, just need to edit the rest, but I definitely was thinking of lucky palms already, it’s my favourite world to play in and I ADORE that casino.
@@Rekowcski 15:20 oh it's definitely a fire station, and since you enjoy converted houses you, once again, are going to enjoy the ones from the old district of Lucky Palms
When I got riverview, I immediately began checking out Don's place (and Don), I really liked the way they tried to come up with a story for him being there and why. Idk, though, I thought it'd be fun to play him but mabey I'm just over imagining things but I kept getting the weirdest, creepy feeling trying to play. I tried several times, always thinking I was being silly, but somehow I'd always get put off and end up going to the Broke house and trying to give them a swimming pool WITH ladder and make Skip become athletic and a skilled diver...lol
Don't give Skip a pool! ... we all know what happened in Sims 2 lol Actually I play riverview by starting with Bob and Betty, getting them graduated and married, so they can have Brandi asap haha. I also tend to have Don get Ruby Broke pregnant
@@Rekowcski omg! You are more devious than me!! Lmao. Sims 2 is exactly why I give Skip a pool and make him all athletic and a good diver! It's my silly way of goofing off 😃
The tower in the firehouse would be for the sirens. They'd blast out a series of wails that would let all the volunteers in the town know where the fire was.
When you mentioned whose seen anything but a white bathroom I remembered when my family moved into a new house the first thing my parents did was renovate the bathroom because it looked like a sim bathroom. Like pink toilet,tub,walls, floor. The rest of the house was fine but someone looked at the bathroom and went ill let my kid design it
Stereos should have flames....3 mirrors in the bathroom and not one of them is horizontal. What's the deal with that? IT's a bunker! 13:28 It's a watch tower you dolt.....God, I can't believe I dated you....
Im not really that political usually, but I will relentlessly call out nonsense haha I posted the first half of midnight hollow already and I recorded the second half just need to finish editing that one. After that I have gotten requests for both Lucky Palms and Roaring Heights, but am open to any and all suggestions x
The Dean House is a converted firehouse and he has the hidden "arsonist" trait. His dad lives with his buddies in the Grampas house and I think there's something in the dad's bio about the mom dying in a fire.
That is so scary I love it!! Now I like the firehouse even more x
the tower thing is supposed to be where the pole would have been right?
@@Harajukubarbie333 The pole is to get you from the second level to the firetruck quickly in case of a call/ The tower was used to hang hoses to dry fully.
The Jones house is weird on purpose, because it mirrors the winchester hounted house in real life
Yes, it’s very interesting! I could tell something was up... I actually JUST learned this last night from the new pleasant sims video, I’m always looking for information since there is so much tucked away in the sims 3 worlds. Thank you for commenting and watching x
But the winchester house is beautiful

10:11 The front flowers at the garden looks like a ying and yang symbol, maybe it is.
I think so too, it’s very nice it just unfortunately came right after we saw the best house ever haha x
Yes, Dean families house is a old fire station. Towers were used in the past to hang the hoses up to dry.
They're still used for that. Many modern firehouses have a tower or similar for this.
@@Qermaq Interesting! Where do you come from? Here in Sweden we only had it in the past. The first time I heard about it was when I went to a municipal building that long ago had been a fire station.
How do they dry the hoses now?

That’s a great idea... then you could get ruby pregnant as soon as one of the older sims passes away. Sorry I just love 8 sim households haha

I never noticed how much they use it until your videos!
i didn't notice it either until i made the videos lol... even in the worlds i love playing in, 90% of the time im building my own house
"This guy is not vaccinated", this made me laugh so much at how accurate you were
At least he is socially distanced behind his paranoia fence haha
@@Rekowcski LOL!
One of the drug company's is now being sued by a state. I hope they take them down! MORONS think a pushed out "VACCINE" was distributed.

Yes... I was thinking of doing all the world over again but doing either community or unoccupied lots. I think the 25ish houses is only about 1/3 of the builds.

Coming back to rematch all these because this series is iconic. Riverview was always my go to world to play in. Or Twinbrook
Hey Katie. It's a secret right now but I started working on the sims 4 worlds, so you should have a new series soon :p
I think the strange stuff in the barn is supposed to be stolen goods. That’s because it looks strange 😅

Like pink toilet,tub,walls, floor. The rest of the house was fine but someone looked at the bathroom and went ill let my kid design it
haha that's so funny, trendy bathrooms used to be colourful, i think it can be done nicely, but not every colour can work as a toilet
The houses are better layed out than the ones in Sunset Valley
haha love the lilsimsie roast
I think she’s super and I like her simple styles, but she does this ALL THE TIME when she fails at roofing or windowing one side of a house haha
Wish I had a house on a private island. Government free.
A private island is not for me, give me the tallest apartment in Bridgeport haha
The Jones hous is menant to be a Labyrintil Hous with an unusual floorplan
It was always my dream as a kid to have. Big house that was like a maze, with secret passages haha
I just started playing in riverview love it so much
riverview is my preferred base game world... i like the sims in sunset valley too, but riverview is my jam
Why do they have the same art on all 3 walls ? Who does that? WHO???
Stereos should have flames....3 mirrors in the bathroom and not one of them is horizontal. What's the deal with that? IT's a bunker! 13:28 It's a watch tower you dolt.....God, I can't believe I dated you....
I can't believe you're still watching these :/
the ivanovs are supposed to be a romani family which is why it looks like that
Omg I've seen gypsy Christmas decorations before, they were ... Interesting lol
I love that I discovered your videos 🥰 a new member
Hi and welcome x
When you started talking politics I knew I liked you ahah! Love these reviews I would love to see them for store worlds or even custom worlds!

Love it
As soon as you hit that political part, I hit subscribe 😂 tell the truth and shame the devil as the old folks say 💕
i just really think we need to say the terrible things in history over and over again so it doesn't happen again
Like a sheep
THE LILSIMSIE DRAG HELP!?!?😭😭😭🩷🩷
