I always had a special love in my heart for Delaware! Great job Tonya! Also, day 46,378,998,800 of suggesting "Musical Michigan"!
I second Michigan! Some of old homes here are insanely beautiful
@@georgiakerr333 they really are. I've lived in areas that have a ton of older style homes and always find myself gawking at how beautiful they are.
I third Michigan! I live in a historic neighborhood myself, my town used to be home to one of the big kit home manufacturers so we've got some of those around. Plus there's so many fun facts about the mitten state.
As a Delawarean, I giggled when you started talking about horseshoe crabs. I used to pick them up when I was little.
😂
Hey fellow Delawarean!
@@MissDelaware not me clicking on your profile picture to see if i knew you or not 😂
🥺 I suddenly want to move to delware after watching this I looked up a lot of stuff on my own and it's so cute, I feel sad that it's such a forgotten state!
@@chelsi1992 LOL we all know each other here 🤣
Hi Tanya! I’m from DE, love this build!! Small correction though, Delaware is not the least populated state, that would be Wyoming. Delaware is #6 least populated.
Thanks for the info! Sometimes things I find are not 100% accurate unfortunately - so really appreciate it!
I literally SQUEALED when I got the notification about this video! I’m a very proud Delawarean born and raised and also a Miss Delaware pageant titleholder so I loved the bit you included about Miss USA! We did win Miss Teen USA in 1999! 🤣 This build was beautiful and you did our state justice. Thank you so much for this video, definitely made my day! ❤❤❤
Being from Delaware originally that actually does have good Delaware beach house vibe. Has the look of something you'd find in Bethany Beach.
I grew up in MD and always vacationed in Ocean City, this totally reminds me of Bethany Beach.
Definitely Bethany and Lewes vibes!
I agree. Well done.
I’m not from the USA so it’s really cool to see these little insights into all the different states! Love this build! Brindelton Bay is one of my favourite worlds in the sims 4
I'm from New Castle, DE more northern close to Wilmington where as this home would be southern DE. Great job. One thing I love is there are no local or state sales taxes here which makes shopping a little more fun. 😄
This is a great Delaware build. I grew up in Maryland, and most of the homes I saw in Delaware were these rundown ones on the backroads, they reminded me of children of the corn lmao. This build reminds me of Rehoboth. You should check out the old Dutch homes in Lewes though, theyre so cool.
For Missouri: St Louis has some interesting architecture, incl shotgun houses and flounder houses.
For Arkansas: Eureka Springs Victorian. Eureka is a quirky small town in the mountains. Lots of colorful and cozy Victorians.
My eyes lit up when I saw a Delaware build! This is such a good build and it’s realistic! I never think about the sea level and water, I actually prefer it and HATE being in places that aren’t close to water. I truly believe Delaware is one of the best states because it’s so small. It only takes 20-30 minutes to get anywhere ❤️
You are quite literally my favorite sims builder!!!! 😍😍😍Could you possibly try to do a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home??
Omg, I would love that, when I was studying civil engineering at technical college in Czechia, we learnt about him and I will never forget how he designed a house to not disrupt stream that was running on the lot before. I don't remember much from civil engineering, as I switched to studying psychology in England, but this is that one tiny piece of information that will be with me forever.
I dont think you can do leaky roofs and foundation issues in the sims lol
Yay! My family lives in Delaware and I’m a University of Delaware alum (one of the oldest universities in America and where blue hens are the mascot!). It’s definitely an underrated state. You did a great job capturing the beach community homes!
As a Brit 4:48 make me cackle 😂 all well known places in UK! Delaware was one of those states I only knew the name of before this video. Love the fun facts sprinkled into a speed build it’s a nice idea!
If you get through all states, maybe some Canadian provinces would be interesting next for your Canadian followers? Just a suggestion :)
I'm excited to see your DE build, it's great! As a born and raised Delawarean I'm quite proud to live here, even if most people find it boring. Most of your fun facts are correct, and I can expand on them to give you context. The ones that are outdated/you're curious about I can help fill in the blanks for ya. Just as a heads up, this post is gonna be a little long, but still enjoyable.
First, we are no longer the least populated state. For the longest time we had less than one million people living here, but that changed after the pandemic. In the past few years a lot of people from California, New York, Pennsylvania (specifically Philadelphia) and NJ have moved here. One reason for this is that we have much lower taxes than CA, NY and NJ. During the pandemic a lot of people were scared to live in urban areas like Philly so they chose to move here thinking it would be safer with less people.
Second, when it comes to pronouncing Rehoboth, you were right on your second try. It's pronounced Reh-hoe- beth. A lot of towns in DE pronounce with a hard O when in the name. There's a town near the PA border called Hockessin. One time my friend from NJ came to visit me and we were driving through that area and she exclaimed "Oh so this is Hockessin!" (like the mockessin shoes). My husband and I chuckled and we said you mean "Hoe-kess-in".
The Blue Hen has historical roots. At one time bird fighting (aka cockfighting) was common in the state. The most aggressive bird was the Blue Hen and so it was the bird most commonly used in the ring. When it became illegal the Blue Hen became our state bird. It's also the mascot for the University of Delaware and the sports team is known as the Fightin' Blue Hens. The poultry industry is also a huge part of our economy and the chicken farm Perdue Farms in located in rural southern DE (Sussex County). Our main agriculture crops are corn and soybeans.
The reason that so many companies are incorporated in DE is because we don't have a corporate income tax on businesses that do operations outside of the state. All of the major banks are also incorporated here because there are lenient laws that allow the banks to charge higher interest rates to their customers. Delaware is considered a tax haven for a lot of industries.
Tax free shopping attracts a lot of people from PA, MD and NJ, but we only have two malls; one in Christiana and one in Dover. Since Christiana Mall is so close to the tri-state border mostly PA and NJ drivers go there. Dover Mall is in the middle of the state so mostly MD drivers and southern Delawareans go to that one.
The one pet peeve that all Delawareans have is how to pronounce one of our major towns, Newark. There's a town in NJ spelled the same as here but it's pronounced differently. In DE it's pronounced with a hard A. So, it's New-ark, DE and New-werk NJ. You won't get yelled at for mispronouncing it, but you will quickly get corrected and might get an annoyed glance from the person.
For us Delawareans, it doesn't seem that odd to be so close to sea level, and its really only a concern if you live by the beaches. For the most part the entire state is extremely flat and the roads are mostly flat and straight too. It's actually more unsettling travelling to other states like PA that have hilly terrain because we're not used to driving there. The other thing that is weird to us is having to pay sales tax in other states. There's just something comforting knowing that something listed as $1 will be $1 when you go to the register. Going to a different state and having to pay $1.06 in PA, NJ, or MD feels like a crime. Whenever we travel on vacation theres also a feeling of sticker shock because we forget that sales tax exists.
The other thing about travelling is that we are at such a lower altitude in DE that going to other states is weird sometimes. When I went to visit my uncle in Ohio a few years ago I actually had a headache from altitude sickness for a few days. It might just have been a me thing though.
As far as the beaches are concerned, although we're mostly known for Rehoboth Beach (its a great place but very touristy), we have a few more along the way such as Bethany Beach, Dewey Beach, Slaughter Beach, Cape Henlopen, and Fenwick Island. Those are smaller beaches so most of the locals and Delawareans go there for the quiet. Slaughter Beach is where the horseshoe crabs are known to nest and migrate. I've never been there to see them but my mom has encountered them and she gets freaked out by them. The horseshoe crab is our state marine animal.
For California, although a small town Redlands is good for character, architectural diversity, and a bit of fun lore and mysteries
5:21 i'm not from delaware but I'm from the netherlands and most of the country is actually below sea level. you get used to it and personally i don't really think about it, but that's probably because we're protected from the water
Hello I’m Suzy I actually live 15 min from Delaware, I currently reside in Maryland you spoke about low sea level last week it pored so hard the surrounding area around my home flooded luckily we survived but we could have easily canoed out of our front yard fun times lol! I live near Seaford , Delaware great place for shopping! Thanks for the video!
Well hello! I'm from Seaford. In Lewes now.
You should do Kentucky next! You could be inspired by the “Old Kentucky Home” style of house. Also could include a horse stable (for the Derby) in more of the racing/hamptons style for a bit of diversity compared to the Texas build!
If you haven’t done Hawaii, that could be fun!
Yeah, maybe she would build a house similar to Lilo and Stitch the series?! That'd be SO COOL 😊🥰🩷
This lot in Brindleton Bay is my favorite to redo! It's in such a pretty spot.
isn't it? I love this lot!
I live in Maine and we get horseshoe crabs! They aren’t very scary - they’re just kind of like ocean armadillos 😊
i love this series so much, literally something only Tanya has the combined building skills and dedication to pull off 😂 it brings me so much joy every time i see a new addition!! keep it up!!!
I'm not from the US, but my favorite person is from California, I'm excited to watch you build a Cali inspired one 🥰
I'm from Maryland and this is so accurate! It reminds me of Bethany Beach! ❤
Can confirm I live two states from DE and have visited all states around it, but I've never been to Delaware. It's kinda small and easy to miss.
Super cool!! Idk if you take suggestions, but have you considered doing a vampire and a werewolf couples house or apartment? Feel like we always see vampire/werewolf roomies who hate each other but it'd be cool to see how they'd build a home together
Cool idea! Mind if I use it?
@@VeranjoBuilds go ahead! :)
The way I am so obsessed with this build 😭😭 pls do more beach houses or coastal houses like the Pacific NW
I worked with horseshoe crabs at a nature center at slaughter beach and they are actually super cool and really sweet! Definitely come check out their spawning season in the DE bay in late spring if you get the chance. There will be thousands of these little beauties lining the beach and the rare red knot bird relies on their eggs to make their massive migration north! Super cool ecology in action :)
Hey Tonya! Indiana resident here! I would love to see something inspired by old houses in downtown Indianapolis! I'm a delivery driver and get to see some of the coolest old houses that haven't been taken out by gentrification. Indy has a lot of gorgeous architecture! Either that or an old farmhouse would be really cool, there are tons around that are so pretty. ❤❤❤
I use to live in Delaware but have moved away but I love this beautiful build and you talking about the crabs we us to pick them up grown up
Still waiting for Virginia! Would love to see that!
in elementary school we had a field trip to the shore, it might've been chesapeake city i don't remember, but we had a lesson on horse shoe crabs and we were able to find some and observe them !
Love this build! I live in Delaware down near the beaches and you definitely captured homes in the area ❤
i know you’ve already done a lot of Northeast states but when you get the chance you should definitely check out PA. A lot of our older buildings have a beautiful georgian style which i would love to see you recreate 🖤
Yay my home state. So excited for this build. As a delawarean, i agree feels like its a forgotten state. As for the state being low, to me it's not a big deal because we're surrounded by 3 states that actually helps prevents bad storms from causing big damage. Compared to the 3 surrounding states we are the most affordable to live in. While also being 2 hours away from everything. 1-2 hours from the big cities new york, dc, philly, Baltimore etc. 1-2 hrs away from the beaches or 1-2 away from the country. Overall not a bad place to be.
I love this series SO much, I live for the fun facts. I'm Canadian and I, too, didn't know where Delaware was XD I'd love to see Arizona featured soon!
Watching this video as a non-american is like wow a pretty sims house AND a history lesson?? Woow
Hi Tonya!
I'm from Missouri, but moved to Virginia 2 years ago. So either of those 2 would make me happy. But in MO theres a law about not stressing out a squirrel! 😂😂
This is such a cool series for building, and the fun facts are things I never would've known.
I imagine these videos aren't easy to make, I can't imagine doing something like this for my country!
This is super cute! I don't know anybody from Delaware but i do know people from Houston which i believe is below sea level and yes, with the number of tropical storms and hurricanes, its definitely something they think about. I can't wait for your Oklahoma video! There's a surprising amount of storybook-type cottages in the tulsa area and they're adorable
One of my all time favourite sim builds
I always watch and love your builds and appreciate your talents.
I live in Delaware and every year my parents go out with a group and count and tag horseshoe crabs every spring and summer, sometimes into the fall.
This is making me wanna visit Delaware sometimes...sounds like a chill state🥰
We don't have as many horseshoe crabs as there were when I was a kid. But they are still here. :) And you said it right, Re ho BETH. I'm there right now. Haha.
I have never thought about putting one of the end piece corners in a corner of the kitchen like that! It is so cute and looks perfect for the kettle!
This is my most favourite series. I love the fun facts about the states. Keep up the good work!
As a person from the Netherlands, I definitely know what it's like to live at and even BELOW sea level! Also: Tanya I would love for you to try to make some houses matching European capitals! Lots of love from Amsterdam!
It's giving lilsimsie's favourite - blue suburbun hahah, no but it actually turned out really pretty, I love your builds!!! 💙
Love all of your builds, as always!! If I can offer a small idea ✋🏾 I think it would be helpful if you included a map of the U.S. on screen at the beginning of the video. You can use the same map every time and check off the states that have already been built for.
This helps us keep up with the series and keep track of what states are left so we know what to ask for/recommend next 😊
I live in Delaware and I really appreciate this! I love it 🥰
Love the beachiness of this one! Beautiful!
Great build! I would love to see a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, mainly oregon - bigfoot country. Lot of camping and very beautiful big log homes. Thanks again for all your work!
I don't play the sims, but this is really inspiring for my Minecraft world! Thank you!
I just bought Cats and Dogs in the recent sale, and need inspiration for building in Brindleton Bay. I'm not great with building, I'm better with furnishing, so this was the perfect build for me to use as a shell!
Love this!!!
Thank you so much for this video, the home is so pretty I really love it, I will be definitely downloading your build to replace the Bedlington Boathouse. The history was really fascinating on the state Delaware.
Oohh you should do a Missouri house. (I live in Missouri) but since we’re nick named Misery, you should do some kind of run-down duplex or apartment complex. Or just a Dolly Parton house since everyone only comes here for Branson. Just a very basic, small lot, cramped 2-3 bedroom with a tiny kitchen and no-leg room living room. No fancy anything 😂 most people are in poverty so we have to keep it realistic.
I love you building style, I don't know if I ever could build soooo nice! Love it! 😍🤩
As far as states go I think I have to nominate Georgia. It would be cool to see your take on the wrap around porch style of older southern homes. Maybe something based around Savannah? It's the first city in the state and Iconic™.
Beautiful build ❤❤❤
i hope tonya is excited that new england finally got snow last night
I'd love to see one for Rhode Island! There's some nice ones around here! Newport is beautiful too, I love driving through there and checking out the historical mansions! ❤
i'm from delaware and i've never once thought about how low we are lol but my ears would pop travelling to PA bc of the altitude changes 😂 but it was normal for us
Love your videos! Also could you maybe do a Nebraska inspired house? Perhaps 'Nifty Nebraska'
I was gonna say I don’t know where Delaware is but I literally went there 2 weeks ago. I guess it is forgettable lmao
J'adore, c'est très jolie le choix des couleurs des meubles ❤️
If you haven’t already (I don’t recall seeing it on the list) would you do Missouri soon? I moved here about a year ago and it is VERY hilly…so most of the time, the front of the house looks like it’s just a regular two story, but the back of the house is actually very tall and they have basements with a balcony and windows and such, since from the back of the house, it looks like a regular three story house 😱 So most of the two story houses here on hills actually have two balconies on the back of the house. And because we *can* get tornados and extreme weather, all of the houses are mostly brick which I love 😊
If you decide to do a tree house build, I think a multi mini tree house bed and breakfast sorta build would be awesome! Just mini rooms in the trees with a community bathroom/kitchen and bbq space
I love this series so much I'm so glad you brought it back, I would love to see Virginia done, specifically something inspired by one of the historical downtown areas like Williamsburg, Norfolk, or Alexandria! A fun fact not well known about the state is we actually have the most amount of vanity license plates in the US which I actually think is pretty great especially being able to see these plates while out and about! 🩶
Fighting Blue Hens, BABY!
Right on!
What i love about your builds is that they are beautiful and look usable in game. So many Sims builds on TH-cam are gorgeous but would destroy your game play if you used them.
I second the suggestion for frank Lloyd Wright house. Or Bauhaus (Mies Rohe).
Possibly try Art Deco of Art Nouveau.
Washington state would be fun. Or Arkansas
I'd love to see you do a Shingle-Style for Rhode Island
So I was thinking you could do CA, And then quickly realized how many different homes there are, then I had an idea! You could do a neighborhood type thing on a really big lot, and combine some different common house types, I don't know much so I will leave that to you but just a thought.
little fun fact; Way back during Queen Elizebath the 1st reign. The founder of Jamestown was Thomas West 3rd baron de la war the deleware river was named after him and in turn so was the state. I am am actually a disentent of his from his 3rd son.
I would love to see your take on either the Black Hills region of North Dakota OR St. Louis (or University City) Missouri.
Can you do Minnesota?? That's my homestate! :) specifically the Duluth area?? I'd love to see your interpretation!!
hi california resident here. you should do california in oasis springs. it reminds me of palm springs CA a lot, unsure if its actually based on it or not
Please please please PLEASE DO MICHIGAN! No one talks about us but we are so cool!!! You could do like it’s by a pond or lake? Or maybe do something in the city for Detroit?? Or a farm cuz we can be quite rural too!
Honestly, as a European, the only thing I know about it is that it's one of the small states on upper part of east coast. So it's great to learn a little bit about it. Also, it always fascinates me how many cities and counties are named the same as in Europe. I mean, there are so many interesting names the original settlers could make up and they just choose Newcastle, Kent and Sussex, because why not just copy and paste what already exists? I swear when you told the names of the counties, I stopped playing a game and for a second I actually had to think about what the heck am I actually listening. XDDDD
That's New England/East Coast U.S for you. I live in Washington State. If you get past being named after our first president, a lot of our location names are from the indigenous population. Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Sammamish, Skookumchuck, Seattle, Chewelah, Chimacum, Chuckanut, Issaquah, Puyallup, Tonasket, Walla Walla (to name a few), are all of Native American origin. They exist back east too, but the western states are replete with them. Oh, and Dosewallips, pronounced doe-see-WALL-ips. So fun to say!
another fun fact about the county names is that they were named after counties in the south of England :)
Kent and Sussex, yes; Newcastle is actually a northern city :) The capital she mentioned, Dover, that's a southern port here.
Please please please do architectural Chicago!!
Tonya, its pretty❤
Please do countries next!!!
Linda casa❤❤❤❤❤
I would love if you built a house from Wisconsin or Illinois :) I used to live in Illinois and was born there :)
I need NJ next please!!!!
Love this build have you done Indiana yet??
In Georgia, can you do a bungalow/cape cod styled home? I see that a lot here. Cheers!
It would be cool if you did the same thing but with countries
Hi, have you done Texas yet? I'm from Texas and still live here and would love to see a video on that. The horse ranch pack is one of my favorites because I feel like it has so much stuff that I see daily lol
I did! You can watch the Texas build here: th-cam.com/video/GONVQ3lOi2I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iBB2blCBGdGVTYry
When you do cali you should take inspiration from northern California we never get any love up here
Please do Illinois!
perhaps some kind of colonial house for North Carolina!
California or Hawaii next!!!
Have you done Oklahoma? Trying to look for an original playlist but can't find it
Heres the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLtOSs-vFDBVykzq-PmRbkXQSNVswcC42F.html
Oklahoma is not on there! Might I leave as a suggestion?
New Jersey State building I am from New Jersey. I would love to see a bill solely based on that state.
If you haven't done it yet, I would like to see one from Ohio. More specifically the old 1950's built homes with the old-fashioned wood and pre-retro look.
Can you do California?
