Maybe she could make her favorite childhood hangouts and stuff, or maybe her as a child with her favorite pets or something? Or recreating memories. We love Deli too much. 😂❤️
Yessss please, Mumma Deli input is needed. Or share your screen to your Mum, and she can tell you over the video call (by voice) what she would've loved to changed or built or what interior decorating style she would have loved to see in your childhood home? ☺️ Only if you are both comfortable. 🌿 Or a future vid concept. 🌿
I love when you tell personal stories, especially embarrassing ones! Everyone’s embarrassed themselves a few times in their lives & I think it’s better to laugh about it otherwise you’ll cringe about it for the rest of your life lol
My sister is lactose intolerant and it makes me wonder how often she still drinks milk anyway KNOWING she’s lactose intolerant and choosing to drink milk and then later wondering why she’s got the 💩…😂😂😂 ❤ you Deli!!
I recently built my childhood home which was an awful duplex across from an abandoned brewery in the WORST part of town. I did a wholesome family play through where everything was nice and clean and cozy and they had lots of family meals together and it was therapeutic to sort of give a sim child the peaceful existence I always wanted 😅
One thing I really love about deli is how open she is with us. No shade to any Internet personality who doesn’t feel comfortable sharing, but my life wouldn’t have been the same without hearing that poop hole story 😂
This was a really endearing video. My home life was pretty rough growing up so it always makes me happy when I hear about folks who had a nice childhood with loving parents. It reminds me that all the effort I am putting in to raise my children in a positive and supportive home is so worth it 🖤
@@C0deB1u3 I literally can’t even imagine ever going to my mother for comfort 😆 even as a little girl I knew she was not a safe person to be vulnerable with. Fortunately I have cut ties with her in my adulthood and it has been really nice to no longer have that source of trauma and drama directly in my life any longer. Many people dont understand why I would cut my own mother out of my life and I am just glad they don’t understand because that means they have a mother who loves them 🖤
@@Chet_Thornbushel Yes same! Exactly! I definitely understand what you mean, I also cut my mom out of my life. She has caused so much trauma and pain in my life. I'm definitely doing better now :) rebuilding my life and myself from when she had torn me down. I'm surrounded by people who care about me and support me now, and I'm just in a better place all around. Yeah, but it's definitely still frustrating that people will judge those who cut a family member out of their life. I'm glad they didn't have to know what that kind of thing is like, but I wish they would be more understanding and empathetic towards people who have had to live in that kind of environment growing up. I am glad that you are doing better since cutting her out of your life, we deserve to be happy and not have hateful and toxic people polluting our life or tearing us down.
I loved this little trip down Deli’s memory lane. Maybe you could build some of your friends’ houses, your other relatives’ houses or houses around you back then that you remember liking (or not liking at all and improving them) so we can get some more Deli story time 😊 Also, collar up and open, it’s just classy
yes! it made me think back to when vloggers would do "draw my life" videos - this could be "build my life", it could be such a comfy and cute series, i'd watch for sure!
Thank you for taking us through memory lane! And for making this house based on a real Australian home. Your home once ofcourse. It is so different from what I am used to here in the Netherlands. I'd love to build the home my family lived in since I was 3. I have little to no memories of the rental house we lived in before that, but from photo's. But the home I grew up in since then had a horrible floorplan. My dad was a builder and had a great 10 year renovation plan for it. Taking it room by room as soon as there was enough budget, so we didn't have to live in a mess and we never did. I remember having bright orange carpet in my bedroom and my sister had just as bright green carpet. The previous owner hadn't renovated it since the 70's. Everything was dark brown and bright orange and green ☺ Due to an accident at my dads work it took a lot longer though and adjusting this weird floorplan was off the table, but we did a decent job refurbishing and it was nice it became a team effort in which I learned a lot of basic renovation skills.
I just wanted to come into here to say that in the UK, pot plant is a perfectly normal thing to say for a plant that is in a pot, so you are not weird about saying that at all in my opinion 💜
I’m sure the reason most people say anything is in the US, a “pot plant” is referring to a marijuana plant specifically, not just any plant in a pot. It could even be in the ground not in a pot at all, but “pot” is another term for marijuana, it makes me giggle when she says it too and that’s why, I don’t think she’s weird at all, I understand the difference in area and language, but still makes me laugh a bit.

@@kyaraxoxo Ahh yeah saying pot plant sounds slangy to me. We say plant or potted plant to be specific where I am in Canada :) (Haha especially for the ones we have to haul inside during the winter)
Deli, I've never pooped under my house but I looooove when you tell those stories! Sometimes society makes us feel bad for weird things that happened to us. But if we think about it, weird embarrassing things happen to anyone! Let's laugh about them!
i love your vulnerability sharing parts of your life with us. as a resident in counseling, i can say yes, sharing your story is so therapeutic. i’m glad you have memories you can look back on and laugh at. also, i think collar down looks good, but you do you!!!
I have a public pooping incident (multiple, actually). My mother is a landlord for apartments, and whenever a tenant moves out, she cleans up the apartment after them so it’s ready to be rented out again. Sometimes she’ll hire a cleaning lady to clean instead. She did this a lot during my childhood, and since I was young (7, 8, 9), my mother would bring me along with her when she was cleaning out an apartment. I guess sometimes the toilets didn’t work, so whenever I had to go to the bathroom, she would bring me to the dumpster outside the apartment building and instruct me to poop and/or pee behind it. It happened a lot. Good times haha. (To clarify, these are suburban apartment buildings, so the dumpsters have fencing around them. Meaning I had privacy.)
aw i loved this video! as an aussie around the same age, your childhood home felt so familiar to mine: open-plan kitchen/living/dining, bright orange floorboards, beige everything, weirdly black kitchen. they must have been built/reno'd around the same time! super nostalgic. even the shared experience of going to the back yard, snapping off some aloe, and squeezing the jelly onto a particularly bad sunburn brought back so many memories! i think our aussie culture sometimes gets overshadowed by the usa since so much popular media is produced there, so it's cool to see you sharing it with the world, even when it's just simple little things :)
I think it’s great that you’re so open about your stomach problems! The only way to remove stigma is to talk about it. I’m sure it’s comforting to others that have the same problems. Also, in Norway we say "potteplante" to plants that har in pots, so exactly like you say, pot plant.
I appreciate your pooping under the house story. I have a lot of poop stories but I’ll tell you my worst one. When I was young it was in fashion to have colonics. If you don’t know what that means you’ll have to look it up because I’m not going to describe it here. Usually right after you have a colonic, before you leave the practitioners office, you use the bathroom. For some reason I didn’t have to go and she had another client coming so I had to go home. I only had a 15 minute drive home… But that wasn’t enough time. I made it into my neighborhood and was within half a block of my house when I couldn’t hold it anymore and I ended up going in my car all over my front seat and myself and the carpet and it was humiliating and disgusting and it took me hours to clean it up. By the way that’s a very cute house! 💜😂💜😢
Poor deli! Poo is normal. Everyone does it! In America we don’t like talking about things like, poo, periods, sex, or anything “personal”. But I appreciate how open you are! It’s refreshing! ❤
What an amazing idea. You’re such a talented person. Especially in regards to the Sims and TH-cam! You’re truly an inspiration to me! And I feel your pain in regards to the allergies situation, I feel like the weather keeps changing from summer to winter every other day (at least here in New England), that my allergies are so confused that they’re like “we’re just gonna go into overdrive mode!!!! All hands on deck!!!” Lol
I loved this video!! It's so fun learning about Australian culture in your videos too. Things you don't think are interesting are totally cool to an American
one of my favourite deli stories is the poop bath story with her sister and the goggles. i will never forget that story bc i laughed so hard. i think it was in the old childhood home video from a few years ago but it was so funny
As soon as you mentioned the Easter Egg Hunt you had with your family and how you climbed down the fence, I remembered that your sister has the video of it on her channel and I realised it was that house you have built in this video. :D
I love when you tell us personal stories about "When Nature Calls" and about our cycles. Because, at the end of the day we are ALL human and need to go when we NEED to go. I grew up not knowing I was lactose intolerant, I would be sick ALOT, or go to the toilet A LOT. I did NOT know, till I was in my late teens. 🥺 It was horrible. I would feel sick on ALL journeys on ANY transport. I was bullied a lot for spending time in the toilets... wherever I went, or if they had to pull over for me to go sick. People teased me and labelled me very inappropriate and hurtful things. No blood tests came up with anything out of the ordinary, so I had to suffer till lactose intolerance or milk intolerances were more well know. I live in Wales, we are proud of our cows milk. It's a thing here to be proud of Welsh produce. So that information was slower getting here, when I was young. People can be so cruel to people who don't deserve the hate. I get ya Deli, we can stand together with our lactose intolerance stories together. ☺️🌟🌿💅
so interesting to see other people's childhood homes. Growing up my family lived in an expanded blue cape cod home in NJ and it was lovely. The backyard was huge and it felt very private. Walking distance to town and schools was an added plus. My parents recently sold the house after renovating it over the years, so I decided to make it in the Sims 4 and I had so much fun picking out furniture that looked identical to the ones in our house. I think everyone should make something personal to them in the Sims. It's great to reminisce and I have my current legacy household living in my childhood home. It does get pretty surreal though
As someone with IBS, I'm shocked I do not have a similar story of being locked out and having to go. Thanks for being so real, Deli! I know I get caught up in thinking youtubers and such don't deal with things I do. You're very relatable! We're all human. Thank you for your stories. This was so comforting
Love that you share your embarrassing stories. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough with your community to share those things. Better to laugh about it than be ashamed of something that happens to a lot of people. Also, my vote for the jacket is collar up.
I love how you feel so comfortable sharing stuff like this with us! I am a second born too but I grew up between two brothers and I was very much a tomboy!
These things do happen … and they can happen a little more as you get older. You just get caught out. I do have a collection of supplies in my car just in case anyone needs anything. Australia is a big place and we do a lot of cross country driving and sometimes toilets are not well stocked or so available. Good to be ready for anything!
I love these types of videos. It is always great to see where you grew up and to hear personal stories. When I see things like this I feel like I know you as a friend personally. I would love to see more videos of your childhood. It would be cool if you could maybe recreate your Pa & Grandy’s house. I recently recreated my grandparents home and it brought back so many childhood memories. ❤
I tried to built my childhood home just last night! I found out it is soooo difficult to make the floorplan closer to reality, either it makes my house REALLY big (which it was not) or things are all cramped together (which also wasn't the case!). But was such a nice challenge and even looking at it made me feel all nostalgic :')
I like the collar down personally, but the collar up looks good too! I'm not a huge fan of turtlenecks on me, so I opt for scarves most of the time! As for the house I grew up in we had an upstairs, and downstairs, a split level. My parents had added a room and bathroom on later for my older siblings. It was definitely smaller with the spaces that were there. I grew up with two older siblings and I had my own friends and all of course.
I think it would be great to see you re-do your other childhood home. Maybe just to see how more accurate it is now that we have more packs and cc, or maybe you could redecorate it or renovate it to what you think it's the best use of the space. Lots of love for you, James, and Bowser from Argentina ❤️🇦🇷
The way you talk about your family is so sweet! If you guys are comfortable, you and your mom should do a video together where you build her dream home! 💌
It was a very sentimental build and I enjoyed listening as you talked about your childhood. I grew up in the United States of America in a little marina village. Our house I'm going to say was kind of like a Spanish Gothic style was made of these great big bricks and I remember the Gargoyles that we had on our front porch. The house had a very creepy Sinister feeling to it but I spent 13 years of my life there. And I miss it
Omg Deli, I did have something similar happen when I was a kid 😂 rode the bus home and we lived in a townhouse and I forgot my house key and had to pee SOO badly. I couldn’t hold my pee and I peed myself right in front of our front door with neighbors around I was like 7 or 8 probably lol. You’re not alone! 😂
Deli you are not alone. I came home from school one day and was locked out, didn't have a key, and no way inside. I had undiagnosed IBD and when you have to go, you have to go. So I went and pooped in my backyard behind the shed. 💩❤️
Thank you Deli, it was fun to see your childhood home and hear your stories. I recently built (in Sims 4) all the houses I remember living in growing up. (There were several, we moved several times, once across country to the state my parents home state) I'm actually using one for one of my legacy family kids grown up.
So cool looking back at your childhood! It's so sweet you shared your memories with us! I'm much older than you, so this was in the 1960's. I remember climbing out my grandmother's bedroom window to sit on the front porch roof which had a slight pitch, to watch over the neighborhood and the cars going by. I loved being high up where no one really noticed me. I would have been in so much trouble! Don't beat yourself up too much about the sunburns when you were a kid. The intensity of the UV rays has changed everywhere. It would be much worse today I rarely used any sunscreen as a kid at the beach and rarely burned at all. My sister did tho and my grandmother would put vinegar all over her burns. I'll never forget the smell in the tent at night! My kids all had skin tolerance that in the early 80's they never burned with minimal sunscreen. Just once in the morning protected them all day By the '90's they needed lotion at least twice a day to avoid burning. Today they need a much higher SPF because of the climate change. At least now we are aware of the dangers!
It’s true what you said about bathtubs. In my parent’s house there were two, but the bathroom that me and my brother used got turned into a cute shower with tiles and glass doors but I still went into my parents bathroom because of the tub😂 I have a shower now and I miss being able to just relax for a while in water.
Felt chills when you mentioned you started your TH-cam career in that very own room and I was one of your earlier subscribers. I was turning 7th grade that day and now I’m in my 3rd year in college 😭 It’s amazing how far you’ve come, Deli.
I lived with my grandmother when I was a kid in a house that my great grandmother owned. One of my great uncles built it. It was on a cinder block foundation, had a screened porch on the front, a staircase on the side that lead to the kitchen/ laundry area, a small cozy dining room with a large china cabinet (and a creepy Mardi Gras mask), a cozy little living room with an old and large TV and a record player in the corner, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. It was also very haunted. I think I might try to build it in the sims. It will give me an opportunity to practice using terrain tools because the house was downhill, which is also why it was on a very tall foundation. My hometown was along the Mississippi River which often overflowed when it rained and caused a lot of flooding. What if we made this a trend? Sims builders could build their childhood homes and use the hashtag “my childhood home” or something similar. That would be a lot of fun.
You're so lucky to have childhood memories good or bad, Myself I don't remember anything of my childhood. So, it's so sweet seeing you go back and build one of childhood memories ❤
I just had to say from someone who has IBS I loved your poop story 😂 I have had some awful similar situations and I love that we can laugh about them! Love that you’re so open and you’re so relatable! X
I wish I could tell you about a childhood home but I lived in rented houses most my life and migrate countries and towns every year or two years. I would also frequently change schools so I have never been in one place too long. I guess the longest place I've lived is this one house I had in Malawi for about 4 years. It had a huge garden in the front (technically the backyard) with a blackberry tree and rose garden that my mum was obsessed with. And where the entrance was, there was a giant mango tree near the 2 car garage, maid quarters separate to the house, a vegetable garden, and chicken. The entrance area was mostly sand/soil and no grass. I don't remember how many rooms the house had but all the floorboards and wooden features were a dark wood and it was quite pretty. There are 2 more houses I stayed in for 3 years consecutively each in Dubai. One was a complex with huge rooms overall. It had a one person garage, a big kitchen with blue counters. Near the stairway, we had a giant 10 seater table shoved in the corner. The living room was huge and my mum split the two halves of the room into the African living room and Middle Eastern living room using furniture and decor pieces that she collected over the years. We had this chandelier made with dried banana leaves and hand-crafted animal figures in the African living room with all dark furniture, whilst middle eastern was more of a sandy brown theme with Arab decor pieces and had the main TV unit. There was a indoor garden area as well where my mum grew plants again. And then upstairs was just a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom situ.
I grew up in four homes but spent the longest time in the last house where we lived before I got married. My parents still live there with my 7 siblings ☺️ I've wanted to create this home on the sims, but I never have... I might do it now after this video. Such warm memories☺️ thank you for sharing Deli!
This inspired me to go look at some of my childhood homes. It was really eye-opening to see them. The place I lived in during "middle school" (that we called "junior high") has been torn down for decades at this point and a community pool is there now. My grade school home looks very different. We had a white picket fence which is long gone. And somehow they turned the tiny 3 bedroom house into a "5 bedroom" house. (I suspect that what were the laundry room and the recreation room are now turned into bedrooms in the basement.) They did something similar to the house I lived in during high school. It was a tiny 2 bedroom house with a poorly finished basement that I slept in. Now it's considered a 4 bedroom house with my bedroom turned into 2 separate rooms! Both of them have obviously been "flipped" because they both now have fancy stone countertops, but the layout is the same as in "the old days." Looking at the pictures they used to advertise those homes really told me that if I ever want to move, I'm not going to depend on the pictures! So deceptive! Both of those houses had such tiny rooms which could barely fit a double-sized bed (let alone a queen or king!) But the pictures make them look "spacious."
My grandma passed away in 2019 and my aunt and uncle have been prepping her house to sell. I pretty much grew up in that house--we lived there for some time in my childhood in the basement apartment and then I ended up renting the same apartment as an adult with my (now) husband. The last time I was there was about a year and a half before she died, as we live on the other side of the country now, and as I learned more about the changes happening to it I decided to build it as I remember it in the Sims. I don't play in it, I just leave it in the neighborhood and visit it from time to time to reminisce when I'm feeling sad. I'll likely never set foot in it again and I had no idea my last visit was my last visit, so I get a bit emotional about it. The Sims build helps for sure
DELI, i am loving this video already- i love the jacket collar down, i think you look so pretty!!! and the lindsay lohan movie was so. good. i watch a lot of hallmark so i’m used to the good-bad films, but i loved the movie! i love her male counterpart (chord overstreet) so that was a helpful factor. love your videos 💓💓
My parents also let me make a mess with art and personalise my space which I didn't realise was such a privilege until I met people who weren't allowed to do that. Definitely grateful to my parents, this video made me a little homesick lol but I love how personal you are!!
One of my parents lived on a golf course and I was on a super long walk one day and same thing happened.. i was too far gone and started to get the sweats, figured there was no way I could make it back in time - so I did what you did 😂
I finally got a chance to watch this. I loved hearing all the stories Deli. I always feel like I'm listening to a good friend. Thanks Deli, love you ❤️
that’s fun to build childhood home! i move like every 2-3 years during my childhood so i could never relate 🥺 but its fun seeing you doing it ehe! - again love from Malaysiaaa 🇲🇾❤️
I know more about Deli’s life then 90% of my friends 😂 oh Deli… I do enjoy your TMI stories I grew up in a poor neighborhood, but I liked my house. I lived in the basement, not a lot of natural light, but at least I had space. My parents bought the house when I was five, a newly built home, but I love to tell people the original house was a crack house… what a neighborhood 🤣🤣🤣
When I first saw this title I read it as "burnt" your childhood home and I was like wow Deli that's very chaotic and kinda sad but I was glad that it's just building it :)
Love this ❤️ I built my childhood home in the Sims during the beginning of the pandemic. I was also living alone and my sister lives 900+ miles away.. so it was emotional 😂 but I did a screen recorded walkthrough so I could email it to my sister. We also swapped rooms at one point, so I wanna revisit it now and do the swapped version. Awesome idea, Deli
I have built every home I ever lived in as a kid in Seattle. We moved A Lot. That's how I started building in ts4. I think everyone should build their childhood home, even if you are not a builder; which I am not.
My first home was a basement level that my parents rented from this nice single lady. The kind where it’s raised so we did have windows. But there wasn’t much room so my parents slept on a sofa bed and most rooms had multiple purposes. In the attic of the house there was also a young lady with sea turtles and when she went on holiday we would always feed them wich I really enjoyed. It was a very cozy place but it was really necessary to move since I got bigger so when I was 7 we moved into our current house with both a living room and a dining room wich I remember really impressed me. We also have a big garden. The old house did have a garden but we couldn’t do anything to it since it wasn’t our house
For the fleece, tutrleneck mode is always the way. It's comfier, it's warmer, you don't have to worry about the zipper jangling about. It's just the superior choice.🤐
Deli, since you shared your embarrassing bathroom story-I’ll share mine: I was in my family car and we were in the middle of nowhere and I had to go worse than I ever had. The one gas station in sight wouldn’t let me use their bathroom so I had to go behind the dumpster. As I was relieving myself I looked up and saw a security camera aimed right at me! I’m sure the clerk shared that story with all their buddies.
There is No One in the entire Sims Community quite like Deli. You will get the Real Real whether you want it or not. That poop story...most of us have one. I don't judge. Mines happened during Fire Drill in 3rd grade in Alaska in Winter!
I wish you'd had more childhood homes so that you would tell us more stories. They're so comforting somehow.
Probably bc the world is falling apart around us and we miss the simplicity of life 20 years ago.
I thought about building my childhood home and i realized i might be able to do it now. part of my house had curved walls.
Maybe she could make her favorite childhood hangouts and stuff, or maybe her as a child with her favorite pets or something? Or recreating memories. We love Deli too much. 😂❤️
Deli, wouldn't it be a fun idea to have ur mom renovate the house how she would've had it? ❤️
Yes! I can to say the same thing! My son is 7 now and I’m sure he views our house quite differently than I do.
Yes! She doesn’t have to be on camera either. They could shut off the facecam and just to it like the original videos.
Yessss please, Mumma Deli input is needed.
Or share your screen to your Mum, and she can tell you over the video call (by voice) what she would've loved to changed or built or what interior decorating style she would have loved to see in your childhood home? ☺️
Only if you are both comfortable.
🌿 Or a future vid concept. 🌿
OMG that is genius! I would love to see that
I love when you tell personal stories, especially embarrassing ones!
Everyone’s embarrassed themselves a few times in their lives & I think it’s better to laugh about it otherwise you’ll cringe about it for the rest of your life lol
Agreed
when she corrected herself to say “actually I think it happened twice” 😂❤️
"I would poop everything out"
I've never heard such an accurate description of what it was like to have lactose intolerance as a teenager before 😂
me with coeliakie
I ran to the comments to see if anyone else experienced this. I love listening to Del
My sister is lactose intolerant and it makes me wonder how often she still drinks milk anyway KNOWING she’s lactose intolerant and choosing to drink milk and then later wondering why she’s got the 💩…😂😂😂 ❤ you Deli!!
tmi but currently on the toilet because of this😃😃
@@gabbsface1552 😂😂😂
I love the collar up and slightly opened. It looks very classy.
Also looks very comfy with it like that. That’s how I wear mine and it’s so cozy.

Thank you for taking us through memory lane! And for making this house based on a real Australian home. Your home once ofcourse. It is so different from what I am used to here in the Netherlands.
I'd love to build the home my family lived in since I was 3. I have little to no memories of the rental house we lived in before that, but from photo's. But the home I grew up in since then had a horrible floorplan. My dad was a builder and had a great 10 year renovation plan for it. Taking it room by room as soon as there was enough budget, so we didn't have to live in a mess and we never did. I remember having bright orange carpet in my bedroom and my sister had just as bright green carpet. The previous owner hadn't renovated it since the 70's. Everything was dark brown and bright orange and green ☺
Due to an accident at my dads work it took a lot longer though and adjusting this weird floorplan was off the table, but we did a decent job refurbishing and it was nice it became a team effort in which I learned a lot of basic renovation skills.
That’s great! Huge effort ❤️

I say potted plant. What else do people call it?
@@MK-oe5md most people in the US from my area will just say “plant” regardless of what it was in, but potted plant is the next most common

It could even be in the ground not in a pot at all, but “pot” is another term for marijuana, it makes me giggle when she says it too and that’s why, I don’t think she’s weird at all, I understand the difference in area and language, but still makes me laugh a bit.
@@kyaraxoxo Ahh yeah saying pot plant sounds slangy to me. We say plant or potted plant to be specific where I am in Canada :) (Haha especially for the ones we have to haul inside during the winter)
Deli, I've never pooped under my house but I looooove when you tell those stories! Sometimes society makes us feel bad for weird things that happened to us. But if we think about it, weird embarrassing things happen to anyone! Let's laugh about them!
I agree!
i actually love that you share personal stories. Your young self must've been so stressed. ive nearly had times like that
i love your vulnerability sharing parts of your life with us. as a resident in counseling, i can say yes, sharing your story is so therapeutic. i’m glad you have memories you can look back on and laugh at. also, i think collar down looks good, but you do you!!!
I have a public pooping incident (multiple, actually).
My mother is a landlord for apartments, and whenever a tenant moves out, she cleans up the apartment after them so it’s ready to be rented out again. Sometimes she’ll hire a cleaning lady to clean instead. She did this a lot during my childhood, and since I was young (7, 8, 9), my mother would bring me along with her when she was cleaning out an apartment. I guess sometimes the toilets didn’t work, so whenever I had to go to the bathroom, she would bring me to the dumpster outside the apartment building and instruct me to poop and/or pee behind it. It happened a lot. Good times haha.
(To clarify, these are suburban apartment buildings, so the dumpsters have fencing around them. Meaning I had privacy.)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
aw i loved this video! as an aussie around the same age, your childhood home felt so familiar to mine: open-plan kitchen/living/dining, bright orange floorboards, beige everything, weirdly black kitchen. they must have been built/reno'd around the same time! super nostalgic. even the shared experience of going to the back yard, snapping off some aloe, and squeezing the jelly onto a particularly bad sunburn brought back so many memories! i think our aussie culture sometimes gets overshadowed by the usa since so much popular media is produced there, so it's cool to see you sharing it with the world, even when it's just simple little things :)
I think it’s great that you’re so open about your stomach problems! The only way to remove stigma is to talk about it. I’m sure it’s comforting to others that have the same problems.
Also, in Norway we say "potteplante" to plants that har in pots, so exactly like you say, pot plant.
I appreciate your pooping under the house story. I have a lot of poop stories but I’ll tell you my worst one. When I was young it was in fashion to have colonics. If you don’t know what that means you’ll have to look it up because I’m not going to describe it here. Usually right after you have a colonic, before you leave the practitioners office, you use the bathroom. For some reason I didn’t have to go and she had another client coming so I had to go home. I only had a 15 minute drive home… But that wasn’t enough time. I made it into my neighborhood and was within half a block of my house when I couldn’t hold it anymore and I ended up going in my car all over my front seat and myself and the carpet and it was humiliating and disgusting and it took me hours to clean it up. By the way that’s a very cute house! 💜😂💜😢
Oh no! What a big mess to have to clean up, that would have been the worst! Also it’s so hard to get smells out of cars 🤣😭😭
Such a wholesome family dynamic and quite a nice home too : )
Poor deli! Poo is normal. Everyone does it! In America we don’t like talking about things like, poo, periods, sex, or anything “personal”. But I appreciate how open you are! It’s refreshing! ❤
What an amazing idea. You’re such a talented person. Especially in regards to the Sims and TH-cam! You’re truly an inspiration to me! And I feel your pain in regards to the allergies situation, I feel like the weather keeps changing from summer to winter every other day (at least here in New England), that my allergies are so confused that they’re like “we’re just gonna go into overdrive mode!!!! All hands on deck!!!” Lol
I loved this video!! It's so fun learning about Australian culture in your videos too. Things you don't think are interesting are totally cool to an American
I have been thinking of building my childhood home as well. This just gives me more incentive to do so.
Exactly my next build! Inspiration is flowing rn
anyone else appreciate deli being able to talk so openly about pooping??! hell I’m pooping rn! 🥴😂😅
& yeah I’ve also pooped outside… rip.. Best to do it in nature when nature calls right?
one of my favourite deli stories is the poop bath story with her sister and the goggles. i will never forget that story bc i laughed so hard. i think it was in the old childhood home video from a few years ago but it was so funny
Deli talking about her family and childhood warms my heart so much
As soon as you mentioned the Easter Egg Hunt you had with your family and how you climbed down the fence, I remembered that your sister has the video of it on her channel and I realised it was that house you have built in this video. :D
🤣🤣🤣 oh yeah!
I love when you tell us personal stories about "When Nature Calls" and about our cycles.
Because, at the end of the day we are ALL human and need to go when we NEED to go.
I grew up not knowing I was lactose intolerant, I would be sick ALOT, or go to the toilet A LOT.
I did NOT know, till I was in my late teens. 🥺
It was horrible. I would feel sick on ALL journeys on ANY transport.
I was bullied a lot for spending time in the toilets... wherever I went, or if they had to pull over for me to go sick.
People teased me and labelled me very inappropriate and hurtful things.
No blood tests came up with anything out of the ordinary, so I had to suffer till lactose intolerance or milk intolerances were more well know.
I live in Wales, we are proud of our cows milk. It's a thing here to be proud of Welsh produce.
So that information was slower getting here, when I was young.
People can be so cruel to people who don't deserve the hate.
I get ya Deli, we can stand together with our lactose intolerance stories together. ☺️🌟🌿💅
I usually wear it collar down! Love this build video! Makes me want to build my childhood house! 🤣
so interesting to see other people's childhood homes. Growing up my family lived in an expanded blue cape cod home in NJ and it was lovely. The backyard was huge and it felt very private. Walking distance to town and schools was an added plus. My parents recently sold the house after renovating it over the years, so I decided to make it in the Sims 4 and I had so much fun picking out furniture that looked identical to the ones in our house. I think everyone should make something personal to them in the Sims. It's great to reminisce and I have my current legacy household living in my childhood home. It does get pretty surreal though
As someone with IBS, I'm shocked I do not have a similar story of being locked out and having to go. Thanks for being so real, Deli! I know I get caught up in thinking youtubers and such don't deal with things I do. You're very relatable! We're all human. Thank you for your stories. This was so comforting
I laughed so hard when you shared your story. Thanks for sharing it. It made my day😂
Love that you share your embarrassing stories. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough with your community to share those things. Better to laugh about it than be ashamed of something that happens to a lot of people. Also, my vote for the jacket is collar up.
The most 00’s Aussie house I’ve ever seen haha
I love how you feel so comfortable sharing stuff like this with us! I am a second born too but I grew up between two brothers and I was very much a tomboy!
These things do happen … and they can happen a little more as you get older. You just get caught out. I do have a collection of supplies in my car just in case anyone needs anything. Australia is a big place and we do a lot of cross country driving and sometimes toilets are not well stocked or so available. Good to be ready for anything!
I'm literally crying listening to you talking about how supportive your family is, mine could never, there's to much drama
Love when it's time for a Deli's build video🥰🥰🥰
here it's potted plant if it's in a pot but generally just "we have several plants." inside or outside "we have flowers in a planter and a garden."
I love these types of videos. It is always great to see where you grew up and to hear personal stories. When I see things like this I feel like I know you as a friend personally.
I would love to see more videos of your childhood. It would be cool if you could maybe recreate your Pa & Grandy’s house. I recently recreated my grandparents home and it brought back so many childhood memories. ❤
Turtleneck version looks straight outta spa day 😎👍
I tried to built my childhood home just last night! I found out it is soooo difficult to make the floorplan closer to reality, either it makes my house REALLY big (which it was not) or things are all cramped together (which also wasn't the case!). But was such a nice challenge and even looking at it made me feel all nostalgic :')
I like the collar down personally, but the collar up looks good too! I'm not a huge fan of turtlenecks on me, so I opt for scarves most of the time! As for the house I grew up in we had an upstairs, and downstairs, a split level. My parents had added a room and bathroom on later for my older siblings. It was definitely smaller with the spaces that were there. I grew up with two older siblings and I had my own friends and all of course.
I think it would be great to see you re-do your other childhood home. Maybe just to see how more accurate it is now that we have more packs and cc, or maybe you could redecorate it or renovate it to what you think it's the best use of the space.
Lots of love for you, James, and Bowser from Argentina ❤️🇦🇷
you seem like a kind person and a great friend...
Deli always makes my day better ;)
Agreed!
❤️🤗
The way you talk about your family is so sweet! If you guys are comfortable, you and your mom should do a video together where you build her dream home! 💌
Own your Aussie accent deli!
It was a very sentimental build and I enjoyed listening as you talked about your childhood.
I grew up in the United States of America in a little marina village.
Our house I'm going to say was kind of like a Spanish Gothic style was made of these great big bricks and I remember the Gargoyles that we had on our front porch.
The house had a very creepy Sinister feeling to it but I spent 13 years of my life there.
And I miss it
Omg Deli, I did have something similar happen when I was a kid 😂 rode the bus home and we lived in a townhouse and I forgot my house key and had to pee SOO badly. I couldn’t hold my pee and I peed myself right in front of our front door with neighbors around I was like 7 or 8 probably lol. You’re not alone! 😂
Deli you are not alone. I came home from school one day and was locked out, didn't have a key, and no way inside. I had undiagnosed IBD and when you have to go, you have to go. So I went and pooped in my backyard behind the shed. 💩❤️
You did the right thing ❤️🤣
I don’t understand how can I like a person I never met in person this much, hahah. You’re so lovely, Deli ❤️🫶
Thank you Deli, it was fun to see your childhood home and hear your stories. I recently built (in Sims 4) all the houses I remember living in growing up. (There were several, we moved several times, once across country to the state my parents home state) I'm actually using one for one of my legacy family kids grown up.
Great video
So cool looking back at your childhood! It's so sweet you shared your memories with us!
I'm much older than you, so this was in the 1960's. I remember climbing out my grandmother's bedroom window to sit on the front porch roof which had a slight pitch, to watch over the neighborhood and the cars going by. I loved being high up where no one really noticed me. I would have been in so much trouble!
Don't beat yourself up too much about the sunburns when you were a kid. The intensity of the UV rays has changed everywhere. It would be much worse today
I rarely used any sunscreen as a kid at the beach and rarely burned at all. My sister did tho and my grandmother would put vinegar all over her burns. I'll never forget the smell in the tent at night!
My kids all had skin tolerance that in the early 80's they never burned with minimal sunscreen. Just once in the morning protected them all day By the '90's they needed lotion at least twice a day to avoid burning. Today they need a much higher SPF because of the climate change. At least now we are aware of the dangers!
I vote collar down.
Me 2
Same here
Same, it looks great being down
"I know, I had a type for awhile" now you're dating like a lumberjack lookin fella lol
I really enjoyed this video!
It’s true what you said about bathtubs. In my parent’s house there were two, but the bathroom that me and my brother used got turned into a cute shower with tiles and glass doors but I still went into my parents bathroom because of the tub😂 I have a shower now and I miss being able to just relax for a while in water.
Felt chills when you mentioned you started your TH-cam career in that very own room and I was one of your earlier subscribers. I was turning 7th grade that day and now I’m in my 3rd year in college 😭 It’s amazing how far you’ve come, Deli.
I lived with my grandmother when I was a kid in a house that my great grandmother owned. One of my great uncles built it. It was on a cinder block foundation, had a screened porch on the front, a staircase on the side that lead to the kitchen/ laundry area, a small cozy dining room with a large china cabinet (and a creepy Mardi Gras mask), a cozy little living room with an old and large TV and a record player in the corner, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. It was also very haunted. I think I might try to build it in the sims. It will give me an opportunity to practice using terrain tools because the house was downhill, which is also why it was on a very tall foundation. My hometown was along the Mississippi River which often overflowed when it rained and caused a lot of flooding.
What if we made this a trend? Sims builders could build their childhood homes and use the hashtag “my childhood home” or something similar. That would be a lot of fun.
You're so lucky to have childhood memories good or bad, Myself I don't remember anything of my childhood. So, it's so sweet seeing you go back and build one of childhood memories ❤
I just had to say from someone who has IBS I loved your poop story 😂 I have had some awful similar situations and I love that we can laugh about them!
Love that you’re so open and you’re so relatable! X
turtleneck is super cute, collar up is totally girlboss, and collar down is the trendiest way
I wish I could tell you about a childhood home but I lived in rented houses most my life and migrate countries and towns every year or two years. I would also frequently change schools so I have never been in one place too long. I guess the longest place I've lived is this one house I had in Malawi for about 4 years. It had a huge garden in the front (technically the backyard) with a blackberry tree and rose garden that my mum was obsessed with. And where the entrance was, there was a giant mango tree near the 2 car garage, maid quarters separate to the house, a vegetable garden, and chicken. The entrance area was mostly sand/soil and no grass. I don't remember how many rooms the house had but all the floorboards and wooden features were a dark wood and it was quite pretty. There are 2 more houses I stayed in for 3 years consecutively each in Dubai. One was a complex with huge rooms overall. It had a one person garage, a big kitchen with blue counters. Near the stairway, we had a giant 10 seater table shoved in the corner. The living room was huge and my mum split the two halves of the room into the African living room and Middle Eastern living room using furniture and decor pieces that she collected over the years. We had this chandelier made with dried banana leaves and hand-crafted animal figures in the African living room with all dark furniture, whilst middle eastern was more of a sandy brown theme with Arab decor pieces and had the main TV unit. There was a indoor garden area as well where my mum grew plants again. And then upstairs was just a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom situ.
I grew up in four homes but spent the longest time in the last house where we lived before I got married. My parents still live there with my 7 siblings ☺️ I've wanted to create this home on the sims, but I never have... I might do it now after this video. Such warm memories☺️ thank you for sharing Deli!
7 siblings!
@Deligracy yeah, girl!! Can't make my fam on sims without a mod😆
This inspired me to go look at some of my childhood homes. It was really eye-opening to see them. The place I lived in during "middle school" (that we called "junior high") has been torn down for decades at this point and a community pool is there now. My grade school home looks very different. We had a white picket fence which is long gone. And somehow they turned the tiny 3 bedroom house into a "5 bedroom" house. (I suspect that what were the laundry room and the recreation room are now turned into bedrooms in the basement.) They did something similar to the house I lived in during high school. It was a tiny 2 bedroom house with a poorly finished basement that I slept in. Now it's considered a 4 bedroom house with my bedroom turned into 2 separate rooms! Both of them have obviously been "flipped" because they both now have fancy stone countertops, but the layout is the same as in "the old days." Looking at the pictures they used to advertise those homes really told me that if I ever want to move, I'm not going to depend on the pictures! So deceptive! Both of those houses had such tiny rooms which could barely fit a double-sized bed (let alone a queen or king!) But the pictures make them look "spacious."
My grandma passed away in 2019 and my aunt and uncle have been prepping her house to sell. I pretty much grew up in that house--we lived there for some time in my childhood in the basement apartment and then I ended up renting the same apartment as an adult with my (now) husband. The last time I was there was about a year and a half before she died, as we live on the other side of the country now, and as I learned more about the changes happening to it I decided to build it as I remember it in the Sims. I don't play in it, I just leave it in the neighborhood and visit it from time to time to reminisce when I'm feeling sad. I'll likely never set foot in it again and I had no idea my last visit was my last visit, so I get a bit emotional about it. The Sims build helps for sure
❤️ 🤗 ❤️
loved it! I will move you and James in with your kids if have it on the gallery! loved hearing your childhood stories!
I really loved this video very relaxing! I also loved hearing your childhood memories. Awesome build
DELI, i am loving this video already- i love the jacket collar down, i think you look so pretty!!! and the lindsay lohan movie was so. good. i watch a lot of hallmark so i’m used to the good-bad films, but i loved the movie! i love her male counterpart (chord overstreet) so that was a helpful factor. love your videos 💓💓
i love the turtleneck vibe actually :) feels like that style is back in
Collar down is really in this winter apparently 😁 saw so many hoodies and sweaters like this one at h&m
I love delis videos. So unassuming. “Heres my childhood house. So cute right? This is the room I took a dump under” 😂😂😂😂
My parents also let me make a mess with art and personalise my space which I didn't realise was such a privilege until I met people who weren't allowed to do that. Definitely grateful to my parents, this video made me a little homesick lol but I love how personal you are!!
One of my parents lived on a golf course and I was on a super long walk one day and same thing happened.. i was too far gone and started to get the sweats, figured there was no way I could make it back in time - so I did what you did 😂
Collar up and Down ... love both! Lol Deli ur great
I finally got a chance to watch this. I loved hearing all the stories Deli. I always feel like I'm listening to a good friend. Thanks Deli, love you ❤️
that’s fun to build childhood home! i move like every 2-3 years during my childhood so i could never relate 🥺 but its fun seeing you doing it ehe!
- again love from Malaysiaaa 🇲🇾❤️
I actually loved all of them. I normally hate the turtleneck way but it looks so good on you 🥰
I really liked this video! I like hearing about your past and how you came to be.
Our house was built in the early 2000s and had that exact colour aubergine wall in the living room
It must have been the lewk?
Absolutely love your stories, Deli! I hope you'll do more personal builds and the other houses you've lived in 💛
"For those of you who have a bathtub, don't take it for granted."
Me who hates baths: I hear you, but I'm not listening.
😅
Yeah, I grew up with only a bathtub and showers feel like luxury to me!
I know more about Deli’s life then 90% of my friends 😂 oh Deli… I do enjoy your TMI stories
I grew up in a poor neighborhood, but I liked my house. I lived in the basement, not a lot of natural light, but at least I had space. My parents bought the house when I was five, a newly built home, but I love to tell people the original house was a crack house… what a neighborhood 🤣🤣🤣
In love with how relatable and unbothered you are 😂
Deli: "I had a type for a while"
James: Comes in with his drill, to put up another Curtain... just to make his point. 😂 hehehe
When I first saw this title I read it as "burnt" your childhood home and I was like wow Deli that's very chaotic and kinda sad but I was glad that it's just building it :)
this is such a cute video, i love hearing about all the details and fun stories ❤❤
Thanks for the house & all the stories, both are beautiful!
Love this ❤️ I built my childhood home in the Sims during the beginning of the pandemic. I was also living alone and my sister lives 900+ miles away.. so it was emotional 😂 but I did a screen recorded walkthrough so I could email it to my sister. We also swapped rooms at one point, so I wanna revisit it now and do the swapped version. Awesome idea, Deli
I have built every home I ever lived in as a kid in Seattle. We moved A Lot. That's how I started building in ts4. I think everyone should build their childhood home, even if you are not a builder; which I am not.
Deli I love cheesy Xmas movies and I loved falling for Xmas 😢😂❤ it was so good.
My family is from the Caribbean and we use aloe vera for a lot of things including burns. It’s a really amazing plant!
My first home was a basement level that my parents rented from this nice single lady. The kind where it’s raised so we did have windows. But there wasn’t much room so my parents slept on a sofa bed and most rooms had multiple purposes. In the attic of the house there was also a young lady with sea turtles and when she went on holiday we would always feed them wich I really enjoyed. It was a very cozy place but it was really necessary to move since I got bigger so when I was 7 we moved into our current house with both a living room and a dining room wich I remember really impressed me. We also have a big garden. The old house did have a garden but we couldn’t do anything to it since it wasn’t our house
For the fleece, tutrleneck mode is always the way. It's comfier, it's warmer, you don't have to worry about the zipper jangling about. It's just the superior choice.🤐
Deli, since you shared your embarrassing bathroom story-I’ll share mine: I was in my family car and we were in the middle of nowhere and I had to go worse than I ever had. The one gas station in sight wouldn’t let me use their bathroom so I had to go behind the dumpster. As I was relieving myself I looked up and saw a security camera aimed right at me! I’m sure the clerk shared that story with all their buddies.
There is No One in the entire Sims Community quite like Deli. You will get the Real Real whether you want it or not. That poop story...most of us have one. I don't judge. Mines happened during Fire Drill in 3rd grade in Alaska in Winter!
"It was sometimes dark here too" Best phrase of the day 😅
Tell your stories! It's life, everyone has done crazy things and no shame Deli....
