I have an idea for a challenge: every house has a different expansion pack, game pack, and stuff pack. it would be easier to fully furnish the houses but the challenge would be to make all the packs work together in one home
I've tried this with each room is a different expansion pack, game pack and stuff pack (basically each room is a different bundle) and I love it! You get such interesting vibes and aesthetics you'd never think of and find swatches you never knew existed
honestly i think basegame stairs are fair game for these challenges. in my mind stairs occupy the same kind of space as the walls, so i definitely dont feel likei t would be cheating to have just some basegame stairs. that said... ea please give us stairs, fence, and gate with every pack 😭 edit to add: a variation on this challenge theme could be to have a randomised option for the build *construction* where you could end up with basegame only or expansion pack only to ensure u get the doors/stairs/etc, then a second randomisation where the furnishing is chosen by any pack, or only game/stuff packs?
When I do "can I build a house with just x pack" challenges, I allow base game objects IF (and only if) the pack doesn't have any of that particular thing, so I agree with you in that Jesse could have totally done that.
@@MuirlySims same. like... i dont get a lot of time to play so when i do AND want to challenge myself with something like this, i'd also like the lot to be actually functional lol. and besides, none of the packs can exist without the base game, so even if you "only" had X pack, it's never actually _only_ X pack, yknow??
Yeah, totally agree about using base game stuff if there is no option in the pack itself (because most homes wouldn't have toilets then) but yeah, it would also be nice if you roll a single expansion pack for the outside and then any missing options from that pack are also useful inside since that adds a little more challenge than just base game (and technically stuff like windows and doors can be seen inside too.) If you still don't get what you need, base game should always be an option. I think it'd be hilarious if she'd just tossed in a set of public toilets in the parking lot (she could've built them if none of those packs had the item version.) Because in the end this is actually the best cursed lot to visit for dining, marrying, and being haunted (though you'd have to make it a true haunted house to experience the stuff pack version so it's very versatile lol there is technically a kitchen at least.) If you remodel it with every pack as an option, it'd be funny to throw in some dumpsters, maybe some benches, a public toilet, and without changing anything else, just make it a true haunted house and see how long your Sims can last but don't expect them to stay there forever. Or if you want to try Carl's Dine-Out Reloaded mod, you could make it a restaurant with haunted and add in a bunch of bad lot traits and slowly remodel the entire lot depending on how well your restaurant does through ratings and profits! Edit: although lol the table in the wedding venue will get chosen by customers so it might have to go. Just adds more room back there anyway!
yea tbqh i feel the same way, i don't think using base game stuff especially when you need to (i.e. a pack doesn't have stairs, wallpapers, floors, windows, doors, appliances, etc.) would count as "cheating" at all since, y'know, it's stuff that everyone has.
'Doors are the windows of the soul, and eyes are the nipples of the face' - Plumbella. THIS is why I watch you, I ADORE these little random quotes you come up with. Thank you for being you
You know you've been watching her for a while when you hear her say 'eyes are the nipples of the face' and aren't even phased xD I barely even blinked, just nodded along with her like yea you right xD
"i love thinking outside of the box. i love being inside the box, i love the box as well i love the box as well thats not to say i dislike the box the box is amazing to me" SO many quotable things im crying you are hilarious in this plumbella
jesse! i recently was diagnosed with autism and have found a lot of comfort in your videos, especially because you were also diagnosed as an adult. thank you for making this type of content! the sims is my special interest and it makes me so happy to see someone that also shares a love for it 🥰💛
It’s fine, the paranormal house just doesn’t have doors because it’s a dilapidated haunted house. Doors and windows are always missing from haunted houses, it tracks, it’s just a part of the lore
Ngl, this looks stunning! It looks like a mini high-street, albeit an eclectic one🥰🥰! Wedding venue on t' corner, fish n' fifties serving up a storm in the middle and the local medium who welcomes all at the end! I love how creative you get with these build challenges, even when the packs don't comply 😅
This looks exactly like the main street in a touristy mountain town where I live. Its so eclectic and full of random stuff to entice people who might be a little loose with their money lmao
Your pace and humor in these videos is so GOOD it’s like your plugged into my brain Usually I go Picture in Picture while watching sims videos and I multitask but this one kept my attention the whole time !!
omg. At 7:20, I thought "why don't you just use doors for windows on the upper floor? And then you said it literally right after I thought it, Jesse. GG.
Two build challenge ideas: Each room is a different ex - make Don Lothario a new house/apartment with each room decorated after one of his lore exes Each room is decorated with 1 random expansion/game pack and 1 random stuff pack/buildbuy kit - only using base game for important missing items (like a toilet in a bathroom, doors, etc) sometimes the styles will compliment eachother and other times they'll end up clashing
I've been playing Planet Zoo a lot lately, and now I'm imagining doing an "each X is a different pack" challenge in that. Also, one Sims building challenge idea I had was "each room is a different year of content".
I reckon instead of a specific year, do a specific decade. Like 90s, 2010s, 50s, 20s etc. Actually that makes me think, I wish they made a world/expansion that was certain old fashioned eras. E.g 1920s and whatever technology was available then, fashions, hobbies etc. kids could have jobs (and get ill/hurt/pass away but have the option to toggle that off), the cost of things was more accurate to then (things cost less money but jobs paid much less), there could be an option to toggle certain gender specific jobs/roles like suffragettes, coal miner, cook, maid, politician etc. Goals/aspirations would be relevant (socialite, family oriented and the goal would be to have like 12 kids etc.), life span is shorter, deaths would be more relevant (lead toys, radioactive clocks, poisonous wallpaper etc.), you could be “sent to the seaside” if you were unwell and there could be a seaside town...I’m getting carried away lol
@@blackparademistress1 By "year of content", I meant only using content released in a given year - 2014 is The Sims 4 base game and Free Holiday Pack, 2015 is Outdoor Retreat, Get to Work, and Get Together, etc.
I always felt that the challenge should allow the use of base game items for build items or core appliances (if you build a bathroom you need a toilet) as replacements if a pack had none. Great use of what you had though. The spooky one at the end was brilliantly done.
This was so cursed. I think perhaps I would have allowed base game for stairs to allow the second floor to be used. But you did pretty good for how cursed the things you spun were.
This build kinda reminds me of the historic downtown in my city! Wedding venue (church) next door to a restaurant next door to a haunted house (doubling as a museum)! Very cute n creative, would visit here with my Sims if I had the packs, 10/10
Ive had an incomplete idea for a challenge id love to see you do for months now so im jist sharing… hoarder sim challenge... You begin with a fresh starter house and you have to spend all of your extra simoleons on more non essential stuff… this sim can have a job or earn money however you want, but they still spend every dollar earned on more stuff and the challenge is finding somewhere to put it while still having a clear path to the toilet/refrigerator/stove and anything else needed to stay alive. The yard can be utilized but not until the house is mostly full. The challenge ends when there isnt a single square left on the lot to place an item
jesse my proposal is en route as we speak-can’t wait for our wedding stories themed wedding followed by the reception at fish n’ fifties and honeymoon at the spooky guidry studio 😩
Just a recommendation for you all, Syd Mac has done lots of this kind of videos where every tiny house is different aesthetic etc. She's really talented smaller creator!
I completely forgot about the saying "I would rather crap in my hands and clap" so when you said it I was caught so off guard and couldn't stop laughing for a second there. 😂 The random comments that you make during your videos are great.
It actually turned out as more of a shopping district type thing which I think is cute. The wedding venue, the restaurant, then I see the third as like a psychic/medium place.
it works so well in a way though. the bride and groom get ready in the paranormal stuff room, they get married in the wedding hall, and the party all goes to the restaurant for the dinner!
I'd love to each of these houses decorated with maybe five random packs, including 1 or 2 expansion packs to make sure they are all more or less functional.
I was gonna like the video anyways, but the button got clicked at the Mr. Ballen reference. These kinds of challenges have the same vibe as the Sims Barbie Dream House Decorator pack, except sometimes even more limited. Though I would say probably my most unique challenge in the designer career was the guy with a completely (bugged) empty apartment who liked "baking" and "patio stuff." By about the third assignment from him, the place actually looked decent in all its minimalist pastel glory. And in case it sounds like I think the decor pack came before any such challenges, I know perfectly well it didn't (and Sims pretty much banked on the idea of people buying a whole pack based off a very old concept)... but these days when decor/pack challenges get particularly funky it reminds me of Baking Guy. XD
I actually really love this as a business lot. It’s kind of a combo wedding venue, restaurant, and maybe you could make it a paranormal hotel for the honeymoon?
“the strange, dark and mysterious in story format” took me like 5 seconds to remember where i heard it from and then it was like jess broke the fourth wall
a neat challenge (that would give a bit more options) would be "each house is a different bundle" and the "bundle" is one expansion, one game pack, one stuff pack, and one kit!
I imagine the story of this lot is: get married, have the reception in the restaurant, then have an optional seance next door immediately after 😂 fantastic golden quality challenge
I think that this is amazing but what could help is adding base game only for the house so that it’s still considered just that pack used for that home but loved how this ended a community lot
6:23-6:31 i hear "fate is just not real to not wait a day but apple crit fate is like a royal mistress" -- no way was she saying that!?! what did she say? hahaha
I have an idea for a challenge: every house has a different expansion pack, game pack, and stuff pack. it would be easier to fully furnish the houses but the challenge would be to make all the packs work together in one home

yes!!!!
Bundle challenge lol
ooooh that’s so good! i imagine depending on the ones you get matching everything can be a huge challenge

You could do this challenge again, but use just expansion packs. Then you'd be able to build cohesive and usable houses.
where's the challenge though?
Cohesive and usable is not the assignment tho
We don't do that on plumbellas channel lmao

Jesse just created a very fun downtown area 😁 A wedding venue, restaurant and a psychic parlour/lounge

The Mr.Ballen reference had me cackling
Same!
i had to do a double take but i love how far his audience has grown
Late to the party, but I squealed a little when she said that.
It’s fine, the paranormal house just doesn’t have doors because it’s a dilapidated haunted house. Doors and windows are always missing from haunted houses, it tracks, it’s just a part of the lore
I'm easy to please. I see Plumbella's uploaded, I click.
simple people with simple wants and needs
Same girl same

exactly
Always
4:07 I’m literally watching Twilight right now 😂
This looks exactly like the main street in a touristy mountain town where I live. Its so eclectic and full of random stuff to entice people who might be a little loose with their money lmao
Your pace and humor in these videos is so GOOD it’s like your plugged into my brain
Usually I go Picture in Picture while watching sims videos and I multitask but this one kept my attention the whole time !!
Plumbella: Fish n’ 50’s. One side sells fish and the other side sells…
Me: Fifties!
Plumbella: Burgers
Me: 👀 Yeah, burgers. I totally knew that…
You sound like you’re in a good mood. I liked the energy of this video:)
Fish N’ Fifties is definitely a ✨vibe✨
just here to report that the fishing fifties sounds like an allegory to the cod wars (Sep 1, 1958 - Jun 1, 1976), which the UK lost lmao
There wasn’t any food at that wedding let’s pop on over 🤣🤣🤣🤣 5:26
Your energy in this video is peak chaos and I love it
I've never caught a Plumbella video so early, and have been blessed today to be able to view this chaos so hot off the press.
omg. At 7:20, I thought "why don't you just use doors for windows on the upper floor? And then you said it literally right after I thought it, Jesse. GG.
I would love to see these same buildings done with one of each type of pack. Hopefully you’d get some stairs and toilets. 😂💕
😂 This was so fun to watch. Honestly use the same shell & redo this challenge. I nearly pissed myself laughing!! LMAO
Two build challenge ideas:
Each room is a different ex - make Don Lothario a new house/apartment with each room decorated after one of his lore exes

you are easily the most god damn entertaining and hilarious sims youtuber
Yes, a new Plumbella video while I'm stuck sick in bed! It can't get better!
Well, hopefully you feel a bit better soon!
Was that a cheeky little Mr Ballen reference I heard in there?!

But what if each house only gets one ep, gp, sp, and kit. Make it work with the eclectic mixes that could happen 😂
Am I gonna get through seasonal depression by binge watching all the Twilight movies again? *cue Plumbella’s “It’s a possibility”*
Love love love the energy and chaos of this video! 👏 p.s. please make Fish n' Fifties a thing 🙏

tell me why i, a vegan, am genuinely intrigued by the idea of going to the fish n' fifties restaurant
I'm so here for the Mr. Ballen reference...Plumbella x Mr. Ballen collab???
Woah! Mr.Ballen reference! He's great!! Very different content but so your vibes I guess I shouldn't be surprised lol
@Plumbella maybe you could use platforms to make stairs. It would take a lot of floor tiles but better than no stairs!
Can I just say, the shell was amazing?! Good job!
Love the Mr. Ballen reference!
My new favourite Jesse comment: “nothing more romantic than a barrel”
I love your determination to make these houses work, James Turner did NOT give you good luck
This build is like someone’s lucrative business plan. Where you can get married, get lunch or get haunted or all three!
It actually turned out as more of a shopping district type thing which I think is cute. The wedding venue, the restaurant, then I see the third as like a psychic/medium place.
I'd rather shit in my hand and clap! omg that got me cluckin like a hen!
Reminds me of Syd Mac’s “Each Tiny Home is a Different” series!!!
it works so well in a way though. the bride and groom get ready in the paranormal stuff room, they get married in the wedding hall, and the party all goes to the restaurant for the dinner!

‘I’d rather shit in my hands and clap’ reason 101 why I love you plumbella 😂
i love the lack of toilets thats a very me thing to do I love a relatable youtuber xx
'Shit in my hands and clap' now that is a classic saying hen. Good for you for getting it in your video.
The MrBallen reference is everything 👍
The strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format is the best format, Mr. Ballen was right
This was such a fun twist! It made me think, what if, every room is a different challenge- challenge. It would be chaos.... :D

was that you quoting MrBallen?? LOVE IT!!
it definitely was :) I love his channel
I’d love to see this challenge but maybe you can use base game ONLY for objects that then pack doesn’t have so you can try to make a real house?
The 'simussy' threw me into the next postcode over 😂😭😂 i cant
This is such a cute commercial strip. A wedding venue, a restaurant & a medium
Honestly I adore the "each room is a different color" challenges
I think you nailed this challenge. My favorite is the Fish n Fifties
MR BALLEN REFERENCE 👌🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Do this but a mansion, and you're allowed to use basegame BUILD only.
I actually really love this as a business lot. It’s kind of a combo wedding venue, restaurant, and maybe you could make it a paranormal hotel for the honeymoon?
loved the fish n' fifties restaurant so so much!
JESS HAS LEGIT THE BEST HUMOR
Including stuff packs in this challenge was a mistake and I'm here for it.
Hen, our brains work so similarly because the second you said "Fun House" my brain started singing 😂
“the strange, dark and mysterious in story format” took me like 5 seconds to remember where i heard it from and then it was like jess broke the fourth wall
a neat challenge (that would give a bit more options) would be "each house is a different bundle" and the "bundle" is one expansion, one game pack, one stuff pack, and one kit!
“I would rather sh*t in my hands and CLAP” I died 💀
I imagine the story of this lot is: get married, have the reception in the restaurant, then have an optional seance next door immediately after 😂 fantastic golden quality challenge
I think that this is amazing but what could help is adding base game only for the house so that it’s still considered just that pack used for that home but loved how this ended a community lot
Hahaha omg did she just say “i’d rather just sh*t in my hands and clap”?! 😂😂💀
"The eyes are the nipples of the face" - oh, I gotta remember that line for my next date! XD
the absolute fear when I thought the pen at the beginning was a knife
I would 100% like to dine at a Fish n Fifties restaurant
6:23-6:31 i hear "fate is just not real to not wait a day but apple crit fate is like a royal mistress" -- no way was she saying that!?! what did she say? hahaha
Saw the title and clicked instantly...love these challenges
wast expecting the mr ballen reference but i love it regardless
Please do more of these! Love it 🥺❤️
