My fiance is british and everytime im over there to see him and we go to a seaside town im always so facinated! The cute colourful houses, rollercoasters, fish and chips everywhere, pubs, arcades everywhere you look, seagulls attacking you for your food.. yes one tried to snatch my dinner when i went last month and i absolutely threw tartar sauce all over myself because i was gonna swat at it and forgot i was holding the sauce packet 😂😂
Nostaligia is synonymous with sadness for me, because it reminds me of how quickly time goes by and how drastically things change, and I do not handle change well. It's such a bittersweet feeling because you want things to progress for the better but miss the things that brought you joy
I totally get feeling sad when I get nostalgic. Times seemed a lot simpler compared to now and I feel like I took it for granted and would love to revisit my childhood and appreciate it more. There wasn’t as much technology and the only way to get onto the internet was to use the telephone wire! I’ve just turned 28 and found some old video cassettes in the attic! How times change! ❤
I agree! I'm only 31 but seeing kids not even know what CDs are is so strange. I miss being little and not worrying about technology or responsibilities!
@@RAWRannaI'm in my early 30s and have two children and we were watching a film and they had a phone you know the old have to press a button multiple times to get a number and they were so confused 🤣🙈 but they didn't know what an ipod was either.
I read this and just laughed when you mentioned the times you had to use the internet.... then I saw you age and laughed a bit more ironically because you do not remember a time without the internet... I remember listening to music on a reel to reel.... LOL
Please, keep telling us what you're watching! I started Downton Abbey because of you and absolutely loved it! Even made my friend, who's not much of a time-period-drama girl watch it as well and even she loved it. Now I have to watch the movies.
Hi Aden, I have always been a bit of a silent viewer, but these nostalgic British builds have me needing to comment! I totally understand the feeling of sadness with nostalgia, I’ve suffered with it for years, always wishing I could go back to the early 2000’s when times were easier and Christmas was more magical (probably because of the bloody foil hangers from the ceiling 😂). Your videos were and are, a great comfort to me especially over the past few years when I was going through hard times, so thank you so much 💜 for these British builds.. as a fellow Brit, we definitely need to see a primary or secondary school! Maybe a family owned butchers with the striped awning outside, next to a barbers with the spinny striped lights? (god knows the name of them and if anyone has ever made them in CC 😂)
The music brought me insurmountable joy, may I just say. Oh! And if you have Basemental there are CC ash trays 😉 I was also diagnosed at age 30 with ADHD. Made a lot a sense it did 😂😂
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to say that I'm always so impressed with the storytelling and world-building you create with each build! Absolutely wonderful!
The lamp with the cord! Now that I think about it, so many items in the sims are missing... cords. All the appliances, lamps, computers, and all the rest. The music you chose for this build was great also, nice production.
I think I have stayed here! Nostalgia can bring sadness because of what has been lost between then and now but also the happy memories. I understand you with the no seaside holidays, I am in Poole, literally 500m from the sea. When my children were small we would go to the beach early evening after the grockles were back to their hotels for the evening meal - 6 kids and never once bought a bucket and spade as the kids were clear up all those left behind & the boot of the car was full of them!! We used to come to Devon for holidays, stayed in a caravan park near Exeter and would visit Creely? Park, the zoo (one tiger obsessed son), some place that had lots of model trains (one train obsessed son). We would escape our grockles to become your grockles 🤣🤣
This is so relatable. The good old British "social club" where it reeked of 500 super kings, a spittoon from 1832 and stale beer! Grim laced curtains, 250 year old drinks coasters and there was always one old lad in there with a story or two about the war. When I was young we went to stay with my great aunt in Hereford who owned a house like your previous cottage build. There were alot of us that year coming from Essex and my aunt thought she'd be smart and book a "hotel" *she's posh* 😂😂 we met her at this "hotel" she had a scarf round her head and it was a really run down B & B with 70s decor in the 90s and drips down the front of the building. I still remember her rushing to get us away from it "if someone sees us they'll tell Nanny Flo I'm a street urchin, I'll be shunned!" She ended up kipping in the attic with me for 3 weeks!
The b&b reminds me of childhood holidays to Blackpool!! I would love to see you build a cafe with plastic chairs and the red & white checkered table cloth they all had!! They serve the dirtiest fry up and have the nicest but meanest ladies working!
I am living for this nostalgic, working class British build!! Thank you for representing Britain, as always! It'd be great to see a 90s house decorated for Halloween!
What you're doing with the coasters is called stimming. Everyone does it to some degree, even neurotypicals. Tapping their foot, or something less destructive/disruptive. My stim is peeling the skin off around my fingernails till it bleeds to cope with stress and overstimulating situations. I was diagnosed at 13. 🙃
I love this series. On nostalgia, I get the same way too, a sadness that is a little like a longing for it and a realization that its passing is so final , nothing can bring it back.
Nostalgia... yes. I am 63 now, and I don't think I've really understood 'nostalgia' till these last years. A really sad longing for the past - even though some of the past wasn't a very happy time for me; I still long for it. Sometimes it's music that takes me there, but it can be anything that reminds of a past time. You seem to young for this, but who am I to judge - it is what it is and it comes when it comes. Hugs.
i don't even play sims anymore, but i've recently become obsessed with speed-building videos for the aesthetics! i always find myself wanting more of these british-style builds so seeing that you're doing this nostalgic series for just that has made me SO happy. especially as someone who is ridiculously sappy and reminiscent of older, simpler times. you mentioned about doing christmassy builds when the weather gets cooler, and i'm unsure if custom content would allow this, but if it WAS miraculously possible, it would be insanely cool to do a semi-detached lot of two houses that have the most over-the-top, garish christmas lights display out the front of their houses. there are two houses on a street near me that do this every year for christmas, and it's become a sort of local attraction. it would be awesome to see it replicated in the sims!
Your channel appeared in my recommended videos quite a while ago with the Goth house renovation and since then I must say that I’ve been a subscriber and a regular “watcher” of your channel. I love how you always build with a storyline in mind. I’ve been loving watching all your older videos, as well as your new ones. You always help me rewind after a tiresome day. Sorry for any mistakes, as English is not my first language. I’m looking forward to see what you will come up with in your future videos! Have a beautiful day❤!
Love this build! Nostalgia can deginitely have some sadness to it. It's looking back at certain things and missing them. I was born in the 90s and looking back to then makes me a little sad sometimes too.
I saw the thumbnail and thought "that's a building made with love" It sounds so sappy but sometimes you can tell when there are personal touches of the creator. I'm really enjoying this series and can't wait for more! I'm not from UK but the furniture and the carpeted floors made me nostalgic as well, especially the phones and TV. Also happy early birthday Aden! There are lots of virgos in my family so the bday season is upon us!
Hi Aden A video idea here.... could you do a behind the scenes of what you do for your videos? like the prep, the creations, the video editing, the process from start to finish? would be great if you could go over your PC setup with hardware specs too. Be really nice to go over how you download yours mods and the process of putting them into the games, cheats you use, keyboard/mouse shortcuts too. I just think this would be really beneficial for those who are new to SIMS 4 but also those who are currently play the game but want to delve into MODS, shortcuts, builds/gameplay. Just an idea.... XOXO
I love Last Tango in Halifax!!! My husband and I just watched it a few months ago. We love everything Sally Wainwright has created, haha. Currently going through her whole catalog, including her recent Disney+ show.
Happy birthday to my birthday twin ❤❤😂 I am 32 this year and feel OLD. I have followed you Aden since the council block in Newcrest, an iconic build ❤. Once again happy birthday to my favourite creator! ❤😊
First off, this reminds me of the seaside town I visited back in university for an exchange. Nostalgic indeed. Second, nostalgia is a mix of longing and sadness for me. Third, there's a hotel mod that was just released by Lot 51. I haven't played it yet but I hear it's good. Lastly...HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aden!!!!🎉🎉🎉 Ok advance happy birthday. I wish you all the best, good health and a great year for you. I hope you can see and read this...
All of this nostalgic CC is amazing! I especially love the double sinks in the kitchens and wish we had those in game-they’re so much more common (in the US, anyway). Have wonderful birthday, Aden!!!
I feel sad looking at it because I don't understand how anyone could have thought it ever looked good lol. But yeah, it's an amazing build perfect for a rainy and cold holiday by the sea. For other builds maybe a block of council flats could be fun, maybe a little independent cinema? You could do that in the same place as the leisure centre to be fair. Maybe a village hall and park? Anyway, just some random suggestions. Happy birthday for Saturday!
What a throwback with Last Tango In Halifax! Completely forgot about that great tv show! This build is beautiful, very much like the houses where I live in Weymouth (seaside town) ❤️
8:52 yup! I remember a restaurant having a small glass room for asthmatics so they wouldn't get smoke. In the very early 2000s smokers had to go in there instead. Then in the mid 2000s the smokers were given a cage in the parking lot, and by the time 2010 came around the cage was removed and smoking in restaurants was illegal. I've always felt sick near cigarettes even without asthma, so to me it was a good thing. But I can still remember the smokers complaining about the glass room because those feeling sick from the smell "could just choose not to" 🤦🏽
This fully reminds me of going to Newquay when I was a kid with my grandparents. Made me tear up a bit ahaha. Love this series, you should do one of those holiday home/caravan parks with this nostalgic pack, the furniture and wall papers remind me of those so much.
I would LOVE to see some big council estate with blocks. I know you made one for Newcrest but it was small. I know it’s actually not a great place to live but I remember watching 2005 Doctor Who and really loving the aesthetics when they filmed Rose’s life there.
Hi Aden, I LOVE this series! I also have that nostalgia pack, I think it is the best! I wanted to build a bunch of older apartment buildings and bungalow houses from Chicago and the suburbs, and it fit perfectly! It really brings back memories, especially for me growing up in the late 70s and 80s in Chicago. It is so funny how we can all get the memories no matter if it is for an England Seaside B&B or a Chicago suburb, it just fits! I am so excited for this series!
Wow....just wow....this is simply amazing....you did an great job.....i really love to watch your vids....you have this special aura in your voice and this building...i fell in love with this object....Thx for your work. 🙂
Seeing that powerboard coming out from the wall is just *chefs kiss* - so many details that have been overlooked in the sims considering its supposed to be a life simulator. Thank god for modders.
Also in regards to ADHD, I've only recently begun suspecting I may have it and am waiting to see a doctor about it. Honestly more of just needing that confirmation so I have an understanding of why I am the way I am - seems like life is just an endless battle of learning who we are and why we do things the way we do. Well at least it makes us interesting x.
I’m from the Isle of Wight and was born in the 90s. Growing up we didn’t have much, including a home at some points, so we lived in seaside b&b’s. This video has made my heart warm. It’s perfect! Well done Devon 🥲
What a fabulous series!!! You were interested in gutters in CC, Felix has it with his Estate Part 1 set and Syboulette has a set in her Perigord set. Hope this helps!
Love d Last Tango in Halifax as well. The smells, I imagine (we were always campers) apart from what you said there would be the greasy smell of the fry ups or the fishy smell of breakfast kippers, love a full English breakfast, not so keen on kippers 😂
I also get so melancholy but in a good way when im feeling nostalgic! I think it's really the state of mourning and acknowledging the past but treasuring how it made you feel in the present. awingedllama's stuff is so good I went insane when they released this nostalgia set, it's always in any builds I use in my game! Thank you for sharing your stories about seaside living. I'm from a tropical and swampy area so seaside towns like in the UK sound so glamorous to me as a vacation spot! Excited to plop this build in my game and explore it with my sims. For builds you could upload, I haven't seen that one Modern Cottage build you did before with CC in Henford-on-Bagley. The one on the Gnomes Arms lot I think? It was a speedbuild video, if that helps narrow it down!
Love this, love your videos, me and my daughter laugh so much, we relate so much 😂 and absolutely love your voice overs, never ever change Hope youre ok kid ❤️
This reminds me of my great grandad, who always used to stay in the same b & b in Bridlington for years. My grandad would take me for the day to go see him and the nostalgia just came flooding back! Amazing build and such attention to detail, which I love as always. ❤
I love this series! I kinda missed your more detailed build style and it really comes to life with the CC! Glad to see that you're feeling more creative again :)
I get what you mean. My uncle used to live at the pub so the locals, the pool table, the sticky carpet, dummies in the beer, blue chalk- its all part of childhood. I loved not having internet as a kid, we'd spend our days eating blackberries and playing till the lights came on. Sometimes it would be nice to just switch off for a week, but you really cant anymore. As for ADHD, if your ASD/ADHD friends say you're one of them- its a peer review! Might be worth talking to a GP but the waiting list is a bit long. Neurospicy might be a good term to use too if you have tendencies but no diagnosis.
Holy crap the way I got nostalgic tingles everywhere just looking at this. You did an incredible job luv 👏👏👏 2:33 o a hotel pack would be brilliant. We’ll probs gets the sims5 before that drops 🙄😅 4:11 hahah! Wouldn’t be the British seaside without gull shit everywhere even in your chips… 4:55 oooo a timed build challenge!? Can’t wait to witness the panic 😆 5:55 I love hearing about what you’re watching hun, keep sharing (: I haven’t watched it but I’ll have a looksy 🧐 7:26 ADENNNNN the attention to detail! Ugh all the drippy drips under the windows, love it 🙌 8:16 sorry to hear you’ve had a lot on your plate lately, sending you hugs and good vibes. Happy birthday for Saturday!!!! 🥳🎉💝 9:33 Yh I know what you mean. I live by the coast as well. We do kind of take it for granted 😅 I did a few seaside holidays in my adulthood and it was lovely. There’s a cosy vibe about it that I don’t get from holidaying abroad. 11:30 aahhh can’t wait for Xmas vibezzzz. I love summer but I’m more of a transitional season gal. Spring and autumn all the way 😌🙏 12:20 sameeeee those kitchens are a staple ☺️. Yeah nostalgia can make me feel sad as well. It’s usually when the change isn’t an improvement but instead, has obliterated what was so magical about that time and place. 14:14 gah, I can’t stand places where you have to share a bathroom x_x I do love an en-suite but you can’t always count on an old school place being refurbished and having one 16:13 that godforsaken carpet haha, oml. You just know it hasn’t been cleaned since opening 😭🫣 16:50 look into getting diagnosed hun. I was diagnosed with Audhd a while back but I’m on a waiting list again to be reassessed. I will say, be prepared for a long wait if you’re not going private 😬 18:23 pub lunch just hits diff idk why but it just does. Although I have had food poisoning a few times 🥴 enjoy your fancy munchies 🫶 19:58 wow, cc never ceases to amaze me 21:19 aawwww what a dinky lil thing 🥺 21:55 gorgeous!!! Looks amazing. Love how you manage to balance something looking realistic while still being functional in game- not an easy task. 👋☺️
I'm not British but I've been enjoying this series very much💜 please put the tiny houseboat and Old Mill Lane builds on the gallery, I neeed them in my game🙏😅
Love this build. The only thing it was missing was a visit from the Carry On cast! I could really picture Sid James and Kenneth Williams staying there in some daft but glorious Carry On movie. lol. It’s my birthday on the 13th so wishing you a very Happy Birthday from a fellow ADHD Virgo lol xx
A fab build as always and happy birthday. Sadly my first thought was you can tell it's from the 90s because it isn't a Wetherspoons (a visitors perspective only of course). Gosh the B&B makes me want to see a Fawlty Towers though!
Congratulations on your birthday darling, I wish you have a lovely evening with your bf and family! I do have a request: I love the bar you made for strangerville and cannot find it in the gallary, if you could upload it for us that you be so nice of you! I loved it so much I was thinking of trying to recreate the reno you did, but I do not have your talent, it would take me AGES
So the word Nostalgia is made up of the words νόστος (nóstos) which means 'homecoming' and ἄλγος (álgos) which means 'pain', it was first coined in the 17th century and was considered a medical condition---a form of melancholy.
In terms of ADHD I really recommend getting diagnosed! I have the inattentive type and it was amazing how much even the diagnosis and understanding my brain helped me in my life, and the medicine is absolutely amazing, there’s a huge difference for me ❤
Oooh HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉for Saturday Aden! Have an awesome day celebrating. i stayed in a random hotel in blackpool my friend booked OMG it was "Pig themed" whyyyy idk but i howled in horror 😱😭 As for builds would love to see a nature center, zoo, a goth or vampire club (because im a goth) 💜
I do exactly the same thing with coasters, I keep rolling the side in until they go all soft then they break off and you start with the next corner ha ha ha. I'm loving this series and can relate to both your recent builds. Cant wait to see more.
Great build Aden, love it! And this series! I enjoyed that show too, love British shows. My favourite is As Time Goes By. And yes I did try to build the house and make the characters🤭 Happy Birthday 🎉
This is another wonderful build. I can smell the salty air, and the cigarette and the damp musky rooms that have lacked a refreshing for years. This is why I need to get a new computer to play The Sims on and move away from console playing. The custom content available blows me away. If you take suggestions - A twist on a decade build. Start with a building in a certain era or year (1875 for example) and then update the same building through different timelines in history. Did the family put on an addition at some point? Was it remodeled when a new must have item was introduced into the world? Maybe there was a family with a child that grows up, moves off to college or university and the parents redo their room only for them to move home when their world falls out from under them..., I think YOU are one of the few creators that could accomplish this very well.
My fiance is british and everytime im over there to see him and we go to a seaside town im always so facinated! The cute colourful houses, rollercoasters, fish and chips everywhere, pubs, arcades everywhere you look, seagulls attacking you for your food.. yes one tried to snatch my dinner when i went last month and i absolutely threw tartar sauce all over myself because i was gonna swat at it and forgot i was holding the sauce packet 😂😂
Love this series. Please do an old 90s primary school or newsagents

We need a link to that intro music I would listen to that all day!
Agreed. It's a shame music gets copywrited otherwise I would have loved to hear "Oh i do like to be beside the seaside" ;) :)
I was also diagnosed at 30 with ADHD! Hope you're living your best life!
Loved the music too lol!
@@Linda220677 I don't think that song has a copy right actually due to its age!
The striped carpet hits me right in the nostalgia

that kitchen truly brought me back, my parents' looks just like it even now. 90s galore
Nostalgia used to be considered an illness before it was recognised as an emotion. Also this build HITS right at the end of summer too wow

When you were getting excited talking about the patterns on the awingedllama armchairs I was LITERALLY sitting in one just like it! 😂

Last Tango in Halifax is such a cozy brit show! I forgot it existed, thank you for the lovely reminder 😊
I love Last Tango in Halifax!!! My husband and I just watched it a few months ago. We love everything Sally Wainwright has created, haha. Currently going through her whole catalog, including her recent Disney+ show.
I would love to see the Spanish apartments up on the gallery! I loved watching you build them and loved hearing you talk about your holiday, too.
I'm 30 second in and I can smell the seasalt air and damp living rooms!
Happy birthday to my birthday twin ❤❤😂 I am 32 this year and feel OLD. I have followed you Aden since the council block in Newcrest, an iconic build ❤. Once again happy birthday to my favourite creator! ❤😊
The vibes, as they say, are immaculate.

Lastly...HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aden!!!!🎉🎉🎉 Ok advance happy birthday. I wish you all the best, good health and a great year for you.
I hope you can see and read this...
I love the music you played at the end when you showed the finished rooms. It was so fitting.
I’m LOVING this series! I’d love to see the bowling alley / arcade! ❤
Ooohhhh I’d love to see a roller skating rink included! 🎉 🛼
And Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 Hope you have a lovely day!
All of this nostalgic CC is amazing! I especially love the double sinks in the kitchens and wish we had those in game-they’re so much more common (in the US, anyway).

8:52 yup! I remember a restaurant having a small glass room for asthmatics so they wouldn't get smoke. In the very early 2000s smokers had to go in there instead. Then in the mid 2000s the smokers were given a cage in the parking lot, and by the time 2010 came around the cage was removed and smoking in restaurants was illegal. I've always felt sick near cigarettes even without asthma, so to me it was a good thing. But I can still remember the smokers complaining about the glass room because those feeling sick from the smell "could just choose not to" 🤦🏽
This fully reminds me of going to Newquay when I was a kid with my grandparents. Made me tear up a bit ahaha. Love this series, you should do one of those holiday home/caravan parks with this nostalgic pack, the furniture and wall papers remind me of those so much.
I would LOVE to see some big council estate with blocks. I know you made one for Newcrest but it was small. I know it’s actually not a great place to live but I remember watching 2005 Doctor Who and really loving the aesthetics when they filmed Rose’s life there.
Oh, I would love to see some buildings from Doctor Who 😍
Hi Aden, I LOVE this series! I also have that nostalgia pack, I think it is the best! I wanted to build a bunch of older apartment buildings and bungalow houses from Chicago and the suburbs, and it fit perfectly! It really brings back memories, especially for me growing up in the late 70s and 80s in Chicago. It is so funny how we can all get the memories no matter if it is for an England Seaside B&B or a Chicago suburb, it just fits! I am so excited for this series!
Oh god it’s only as I’ve grown up you notice how run down a lot of the Uk seaside is now. Still some lovely spots of course!
Wow....just wow....this is simply amazing....you did an great job.....i really love to watch your vids....you have this special aura in your voice and this building...i fell in love with this object....Thx for your work. 🙂
This might be your most adorable build YET!!!!! im obsessed
Wow! This looked so real in the thumbnail!
Seeing that powerboard coming out from the wall is just *chefs kiss* - so many details that have been overlooked in the sims considering its supposed to be a life simulator. Thank god for modders.
Also in regards to ADHD, I've only recently begun suspecting I may have it and am waiting to see a doctor about it. Honestly more of just needing that confirmation so I have an understanding of why I am the way I am - seems like life is just an endless battle of learning who we are and why we do things the way we do. Well at least it makes us interesting x.
I’m from the Isle of Wight and was born in the 90s. Growing up we didn’t have much, including a home at some points, so we lived in seaside b&b’s. This video has made my heart warm. It’s perfect! Well done Devon 🥲
What a fabulous series!!! You were interested in gutters in CC, Felix has it with his Estate Part 1 set and Syboulette has a set in her Perigord set. Hope this helps!
Love d Last Tango in Halifax as well. The smells, I imagine (we were always campers) apart from what you said there would be the greasy smell of the fry ups or the fishy smell of breakfast kippers, love a full English breakfast, not so keen on kippers 😂
I also get so melancholy but in a good way when im feeling nostalgic! I think it's really the state of mourning and acknowledging the past but treasuring how it made you feel in the present. awingedllama's stuff is so good I went insane when they released this nostalgia set, it's always in any builds I use in my game! Thank you for sharing your stories about seaside living. I'm from a tropical and swampy area so seaside towns like in the UK sound so glamorous to me as a vacation spot! Excited to plop this build in my game and explore it with my sims.
For builds you could upload, I haven't seen that one Modern Cottage build you did before with CC in Henford-on-Bagley. The one on the Gnomes Arms lot I think? It was a speedbuild video, if that helps narrow it down!
Love this, love your videos, me and my daughter laugh so much, we relate so much 😂 and absolutely love your voice overs, never ever change Hope youre ok kid ❤️
I know my comment is coming a bit late, but I really love your music choices that you have for your videos! Thank you for sharing, and Happy B-day!! 🥰
This reminds me of my great grandad, who always used to stay in the same b & b in Bridlington for years. My grandad would take me for the day to go see him and the nostalgia just came flooding back! Amazing build and such attention to detail, which I love as always. ❤
Just unbelievable. As someone born in the 80s. growing up in 90s Ireland It feels so familiar.
I love this series! I kinda missed your more detailed build style and it really comes to life with the CC! Glad to see that you're feeling more creative again :)
I LOVE last tango in Halifax I died when you said that omg
Let’s have a fabulous magical one again … love you 🥰
Happy early birthday, mine is the same day. Start with the bathroom on your upcoming timed build, that way you can't forget it lol
omg this cc is fabulous!!! i can smell the cigarette smoke from here. stunning work again
I get what you mean. My uncle used to live at the pub so the locals, the pool table, the sticky carpet, dummies in the beer, blue chalk- its all part of childhood. I loved not having internet as a kid, we'd spend our days eating blackberries and playing till the lights came on. Sometimes it would be nice to just switch off for a week, but you really cant anymore.
As for ADHD, if your ASD/ADHD friends say you're one of them- its a peer review! Might be worth talking to a GP but the waiting list is a bit long. Neurospicy might be a good term to use too if you have tendencies but no diagnosis.
Oh this is SO GOOD! I love this type of build, my partners parents live in Blackpool and this is so accurate 😅
Happy happy birthday Aden! Just letting you know that you’re my absolute fav Sims TH-camr🫶🏻Sending lots of love!
Holy crap the way I got nostalgic tingles everywhere just looking at this. You did an incredible job luv 👏👏👏
2:33 o a hotel pack would be brilliant. We’ll probs gets the sims5 before that drops 🙄😅
4:11 hahah! Wouldn’t be the British seaside without gull shit everywhere even in your chips…
4:55 oooo a timed build challenge!? Can’t wait to witness the panic 😆
5:55 I love hearing about what you’re watching hun, keep sharing (: I haven’t watched it but I’ll have a looksy 🧐
7:26 ADENNNNN the attention to detail! Ugh all the drippy drips under the windows, love it 🙌
8:16 sorry to hear you’ve had a lot on your plate lately, sending you hugs and good vibes. Happy birthday for Saturday!!!! 🥳🎉💝
9:33 Yh I know what you mean. I live by the coast as well. We do kind of take it for granted 😅 I did a few seaside holidays in my adulthood and it was lovely. There’s a cosy vibe about it that I don’t get from holidaying abroad.
11:30 aahhh can’t wait for Xmas vibezzzz. I love summer but I’m more of a transitional season gal. Spring and autumn all the way 😌🙏
12:20 sameeeee those kitchens are a staple ☺️. Yeah nostalgia can make me feel sad as well. It’s usually when the change isn’t an improvement but instead, has obliterated what was so magical about that time and place.
14:14 gah, I can’t stand places where you have to share a bathroom x_x I do love an en-suite but you can’t always count on an old school place being refurbished and having one
16:13 that godforsaken carpet haha, oml. You just know it hasn’t been cleaned since opening 😭🫣
16:50 look into getting diagnosed hun. I was diagnosed with Audhd a while back but I’m on a waiting list again to be reassessed. I will say, be prepared for a long wait if you’re not going private 😬
18:23 pub lunch just hits diff idk why but it just does. Although I have had food poisoning a few times 🥴 enjoy your fancy munchies 🫶
19:58 wow, cc never ceases to amaze me
21:19 aawwww what a dinky lil thing 🥺
21:55 gorgeous!!! Looks amazing. Love how you manage to balance something looking realistic while still being functional in game- not an easy task.
👋☺️
This was so fun can’t wait to see your decade builds! I love history and doing decade builds. I just did a 1930s themed kitchen.
Such a nice and realistic build, love it! The ashtrays... so nostalgic :D I kind of wish they were there
Happy birthday Devon! 🥳 Hope the restaurant was lovely and all's going well in your life. Thanks for the builds, they give me much joy 💕
Can't wait for the Christmas - cold weather builds. Love it. Thought I was subscribed apparently not, am now. You are wonderful!! Thanks, sqrlmom
you have such an eye for design no matter the style! i loveeee your builds
I'm not British but I've been enjoying this series very much💜 please put the tiny houseboat and Old Mill Lane builds on the gallery, I neeed them in my game🙏😅
i live in scarborough and this build is basically every other building here! love it ❤
you captured this so well, reminds me of some places in St Andrews (my favourite seaside town in Scotland)
Love this build. The only thing it was missing was a visit from the Carry On cast! I could really picture Sid James and Kenneth Williams staying there in some daft but glorious Carry On movie. lol. It’s my birthday on the 13th so wishing you a very Happy Birthday from a fellow ADHD Virgo lol xx
A fab build as always and happy birthday. Sadly my first thought was you can tell it's from the 90s because it isn't a Wetherspoons (a visitors perspective only of course).
Gosh the B&B makes me want to see a Fawlty Towers though!
Congratulations on your birthday darling, I wish you have a lovely evening with your bf and family!
I do have a request: I love the bar you made for strangerville and cannot find it in the gallary, if you could upload it for us that you be so nice of you! I loved it so much I was thinking of trying to recreate the reno you did, but I do not have your talent, it would take me AGES
aiden! my birthday is the 7th so we shall be celebrating in tandem! happy early birthday to you 🫂 im so glad you loved awingedllamas pack!!
This is the first video of yours i have ever watched and we have the same birthday!! What a weird coincidence! 😮😂
jeeeeeez, the way the loud music in the intro gave me a heart attack when I played it late last night haha
So the word Nostalgia is made up of the words νόστος (nóstos) which means 'homecoming' and ἄλγος (álgos) which means 'pain', it was first coined in the 17th century and was considered a medical condition---a form of melancholy.
Happy early birthday for Saturday!! I hope you have an excellent birthday dinner 🎉
Lot51 *just* brought out a hotels mod called ‘Suite Life’! This is the perfect build to test it out with.
In terms of ADHD I really recommend getting diagnosed! I have the inattentive type and it was amazing how much even the diagnosis and understanding my brain helped me in my life, and the medicine is absolutely amazing, there’s a huge difference for me ❤
Oooh HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉for Saturday Aden! Have an awesome day celebrating. i stayed in a random hotel in blackpool my friend booked OMG it was "Pig themed" whyyyy idk but i howled in horror 😱😭
As for builds would love to see a nature center, zoo, a goth or vampire club (because im a goth) 💜
Happy upcoming birthday. Hope you have an amazing day on Saturday. 🎉
Ahh this gave me so much nostalgia of visiting Llandudno and also my Uncle's place in Blackpool 😊
Also happy birthday for the weekend! 🎂
I do exactly the same thing with coasters, I keep rolling the side in until they go all soft then they break off and you start with the next corner ha ha ha. I'm loving this series and can relate to both your recent builds. Cant wait to see more.
Great build Aden, love it! And this series!
I enjoyed that show too, love British shows. My favourite is As Time Goes By. And yes I did try to build the house and make the characters🤭
Happy Birthday 🎉
We have a word in portuguese for what you're describing, about being nostalgic and sad, it's saudade ♥️
This is another wonderful build. I can smell the salty air, and the cigarette and the damp musky rooms that have lacked a refreshing for years. This is why I need to get a new computer to play The Sims on and move away from console playing. The custom content available blows me away. If you take suggestions - A twist on a decade build. Start with a building in a certain era or year (1875 for example) and then update the same building through different timelines in history. Did the family put on an addition at some point? Was it remodeled when a new must have item was introduced into the world? Maybe there was a family with a child that grows up, moves off to college or university and the parents redo their room only for them to move home when their world falls out from under them..., I think YOU are one of the few creators that could accomplish this very well.
Memories of a shit “I’m broke” vacation I had in Blackpool came flooding back when seeing this 😂
This is so good!!! We’ve just come back from Margate & SOME of the buildings are soooo this! Haha xx
Happy birthday Aden 👋🎉 Loved this build. Really looking forward to seeing how the series unfolds. Totally with you re. the nostalgia.
Happy Birthday fellow Virgo 🥂🎂💐 Hope you have a fabulous day!!!!! My birthday was last Saturday and I had a lovely weekend.
Oohhh I’ve just finished last tango in Halifax for the first time ❤ good watch ❤
Such a great build! Yea, I could definitely smell it!
Id love to see a primary school decorated for Christmas when we get closer to the time T-T
Am dancing in my chair. Haha love your builds.
