I can totally see Barb and Merv being close friends with Margery and Edward from Corner Cottage (since they live just across the street!) and M&E occasionally inviting B&M to their cottage for some tea and apple pie (from their very own apple tree!) tehee :-)
Ohhh, and also maybe B&M's grandkids could be close friends with M&E's grandchild since they go to the same school??? And they have frequent play dates?? (my imagination is running wildddd)
Merv told me he absolutely loathes the garish vase on his end table by the window. He has no room for his scotch and remote control and practically knocks it over daily.
Barb and Merv's house is furnished and decorated so much like my grandparents home its scary! The weird/garish ornaments that they have collected over the years.. I remember as a kid some of the paintings and decorations used to scare me coz they were old and creepy lol Btw Aden, you bloody cracked me up this episode! you're so damn funny, never change! xox
Honestly, if you ever decided to write a book or a series I would definitely read it! You’re so creative and you have a great imagination especially when it comes to the characters that you imagine living in your builds.
I love your Barb-stories (when you changed the patterned sofa for a plain one I thought "Barb would want ALL the patterns", and then we got the rug on the carpet haha)
this is exactly the kind of atrocious home that i love. there are a lot of little touches that make it feel so real, and you've got such a strong aesthetic eye. instead of thinking about what you want to put in different places, you're usually looking for the thing you know you want to put there. i leave comments like these on like all your videos but really i can't praise you enough.
the carpet in the foyer is giving me MAJOR anxiety. what a pain in the ass to clean every time someone comes. The boot mat will DO NOTHING.Barb will insist that they update the foyer and pull back the carpet and put down wood/tile, but Merv will just never get around to it, and Barb will always be a little bitter about it.
All together now: "BARB & MERV!!" The face you made when you were trying to say "grandfather clock" will be known from now on as the "grandglgllgl stare" 😂😂😂 I LOVED your high, playful spirits in this video!!
The fact that I sat through an hour long build video with commentary is the gag of the season. I usually get bored but you’re an absolute delight (and easy to look at haha) thanks for the build 😌
I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but your let's builds are always so peaceful and calming that I fall asleep during every single one of them. Now I like to save the episode before bedtime Lol.
I’m struggling with crippling pain atm. I’ve started playing Aiden’s Let’s Builds when I’m up in the night. Relaxes me, helps me drift off. Only found him a few months ago, so I went to the beginning.
this just randomly popped in my recommendations... brb. going to watch from the start! im 5 minutes in and instantly fell inlove with you and your personality, and the bonus is how good of a builder you are!
Barb and Merv would make the best next door neighborhoods! Barb prob helps the frazzled stay at home mom and bakes them Christmas cookies. Also, what are we naming the bomb power lesbian couple? Cus I'm here for all of it, and Barbs mantle Duck!!!
Oh, you heard me hollering, "Take out the window--it's only looking at the greenhouse wall!" all the way over there. You must have the auditory abilities of a bat. And, lord help me, I actually felt excitement when you said that Barb and Merv were downstairs as we spoke. They're def less stodgy than I had them in my head. With that and the pirate tunes when they're "having a bit of a lark," turns out the excitement was warranted. I know that the Lesbian Couple will absolutely fall in love with them when they come to see the other unit, and it will be a part of why they choose it, other than the excellent design, of course, wink-wink.
Loved it! So much fun watching you organically decorate and build. This is really my favorite channel and I just love the let's builds. I hope you always continue them :)
Even though I’m brazilian, so the architectural styles tend to be a bit different, this house screamed “grandparents” so much that now I’m soooooo homesick that Christmas break just won’t come fast enough!
I was just finishing watching pt 2 of this lets build and wondering when the next part would be out when the notification for this video popped up. What great timing!
Hey, I noticed you have “new items” in kids and decorations categories It’s due to some Strangerville items that need all swatches clicking if you want to get rid of them. If you go to kids and filter for the pack, click through them all and it will go away! Also thank you for the upload! Xx
One look at Merv and I was instantly reminded of my Nan. And Mervs hair....I wish I had the patience to grow my hair out that long, I would wear it like that always. Once again, a stunning video my love and great character storyline. Also...sexy bath rob should be a thing more often accompanied by a drink maybe. Charming.
When I saw “Barb and Merv” I was like lesbians so v excited that even tho this house isn’t for a lesbian couple, the attached one is haha Also I can 100% imagine Merv out washing and waxing the lovely car every Sunday after mass, v british
Love your videos you crack me up lol. Maybe build an empty house, which is up for sale that people can decorate how they want, if they want to furnish them themselves :)
@@DevonBumpkin obsessed with your videos btw, only recently came across your channel. Not only are you a great simmer you are bloody Hilarious 😂 keep up the good work!
OMG I love this! May I ask (suggest) that you upload this at its current completion state. Reason being, I like the aesthetic of having the (2) homes but for loading purposes would only want to live in the complete side. (2 fully furnished homes would cause lag, but more importantly would cause distraction to see all of that unused furniture for the side of the house I'm not living in. Maybe upload each side furnished separately and then upload completely furnished, thereby offering 3 versions of the lot completed.) Only a suggestion Love. Naturally we can take the time to delete things ourselves and save it to the library if we need to. Love how this side turned out. I love a home that feels like it has a story. I only wish EA would give us a tv in the style of the record player that you used (from Strangerville I believe it is).

"A grandfather clock there. They love a glamgrlgrlg"
*composes self*
"This generation LOVE a gl-gl"
*life passes before his eyes*
Came for the storytelling and inventive design, stayed for the sexy bathrobe XD
Merv told me he absolutely loathes the garish vase on his end table by the window. He has no room for his scotch and remote control and practically knocks it over daily.
No one:
Aiden:
'Christ on a bike'
Lucie Dekker seriously my new favorite phrase
yess that’s always been one of my favourite sayings.
My life is a lie. I say I’m a housewife but I don’t even have an inspirational mouse poster in my home.
WHAT? Get one immediately

I never thought a sims 4 build could make so nostalgic, all my aunts houses looked similar to this growing up lol. This was amazing keep it up x
The fact that I sat through an hour long build video with commentary is the gag of the season. I usually get bored but you’re an absolute delight (and easy to look at haha) thanks for the build 😌
Well, thank you kindly :)
You should make a household that has the grandkids and the mom living in a lot on that row of houses
“Jeffrey the workbench” 😂 dead
for a moment i really believed its name could be that cause it was such a "sims4 object name".... lol
...Merv, I’m *having* this rug 🙄
Big deep “aww” for the dogs arthritis 🐾💗
I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but your let's builds are always so peaceful and calming that I fall asleep during every single one of them. Now I like to save the episode before bedtime Lol.
No not at all! I'm happy to help people sleep :)
I’m struggling with crippling pain atm. I’ve started playing Aiden’s Let’s Builds when I’m up in the night. Relaxes me, helps me drift off. Only found him a few months ago, so I went to the beginning.

I’ve never been so invested in a storyline as I have with Barb and Merv’s... Also this living room looks exactly like my grandparents’

I love your comments so bloody much!
Yess! I just got done practicing for my master's defense, which I am sooo nervous about, and I come online and see this! Time to de-stress! :D
You had me laughing so much at some points during in this video. Gotta love Barb. What a woman lol!
(also, amazing work as always)
Oh god, I love your Let's Builds. They always inspire me to build afterwards. 🥰
Thank you so much for uploading this, My day has been so stressful and hard and I know this is gonna cheer me up so much!
Hope your day gets a little better :(
@@DevonBumpkin Thank you so much, And your vid did help a whole bunch. I was smiling the whole time! Absolutely beautiful!
Loved it! So much fun watching you organically decorate and build. This is really my favorite channel and I just love the let's builds. I hope you always continue them :)

So glad you upload to TH-cam again. Your personality & building/styling are just so soothing and fun!
You never fail to put a smile on my face and make me laugh. Thank you.
this gives me all the feels from my great grandparent's house before they passed!!!!
You had me in stitches. So creative and funny. Subscribed!!
You just know Barb and Mervs house is gonna have THAT smell
Farts and regret?
Indeed.
@@DevonBumpkin I was thinking more potpurri and cabbage but each to their own
@@jayknee1465cabbage = farts 🤣 you can never escape the gas
You should see if any CC creators have made an avocado bathroom set - this house needs one! Haaha - love your creations and your commentary! So funny!
I was just finishing watching pt 2 of this lets build and wondering when the next part would be out when the notification for this video popped up. What great timing!

OMG thank you so much for letting me know Yaz! It's been annoying the hell out of me!
Too cute! Your builds are amazing 😍
I bloody love your personality! Love it, love you

Just finished watching and omg dying for episode 4 and sexy bathrobe time 😂 This house is amazing!

I am Michael Payne and I'm a nosey neighbour 😂

YASS
@@DevonBumpkin obsessed with your videos btw, only recently came across your channel. Not only are you a great simmer you are bloody Hilarious 😂 keep up the good work!
The nosey neighbour is from Harry Enfields sketch show 🖤
Thats it!
I LOVE BARB AND MERVE and I want to visit their 70s house 😂
I don't think i've heard the word 'garish' so many times in a single video. I love it.
there is a small circular side table but it's in outdoor tables!
I was wondering what music you're using in the background around 30:00 mins?
Your commentary is the best ! You are so adored Mr . Bumpkin Belly rubs for Blue
why you said much better at first i was like 👀👀 then you came through with the baga chipz ref 👌
MUCH BETTA
he has said it SO MUCH lately and i've been wondering the whole damn time lmao
You make my day! I love your sense of humor 😂

household moves into the townhouses they should be able to choose unfurnished
Oh I am so excited to watch this later when my little shit of a beautiful kid goes to bed!
sick in bed and was hoping you would upload!! Love it... lied in bed and watched the entire video
Ahhh so excited for this!! 🤪
We all know that Barb purposely went out and bought that rug after Merv got the new car. He told her weeks ago he didn’t like it.
Classic Barb. Merv was fumin'
The plus/minus key bug you mentioned; is it that they no longer cycle in both directions? Is this happening to anyone else? Another great video btw!
DENISE THE SPIDER XD
My evening is complete :)
Just a cheeky cobweb lol 😂
Just the one hun
Fabulous!
Please just narrate more of Barb and Merv's life! I'm ded lmao.
Ello you! I've got more families coming don't you worry. The can of worms have been opened, God help us all.
@@DevonBumpkin Perfect!
We love a Barb! 😂
“Christ on a bike” what? I’m officially gonna use this
Inspirational mouse poster 🤣
Merv, your friendly nosy neighbour! :D
I would love unfurnished ones. Since I do a lot of house shell stuff.
You should put an Alexa in from thier grandchildren and they don't know how to use it
Bahahaha DONE
Omg! My husbands parents are actually called Barb and Merv 😆🙃
Merv has a twin brother named Erv. I kid you not!
Why do you dislike a tv above a fire place? Also, I lovoove the color story!!Each room is so cohesive and it fits perfectly
I don't know? I just think the TV looks to high above the fireplace IRL lol
"Christ on a bike" made me laugh so hard.
"Arrhrg ~ Shit the sheets I competely forgot"

You meant Michael Paine, the nosy neighbour! 😅
