    omg you’re like the first person i’ve seen use that lovestruck security door correctly! that’s exactly how they’re used, as a little “gated” initial entry area, at least in the countries they originate from.

    I’m awaiting the day that you tackle Hawaii. The only thing I will say is that when you do please do more traditional homes that you would see people live in (plantation homes) and not all the modern and expensive homes that have been brought over. Also it’s been a long time since you did any builds in Sulani so I think it would be a nice change. I haven’t seen many simmers build homes in Sulani that are actually based off old Hawaiian homes so I think it could be an interesting one to tackle.

    Having the matching chairs in the living room/dining room/bedroom, definitely makes me think of 'we got new dining room furniture, but the old chairs are still good, so let's strategically scatter them throughout the house, cause you never know when you need an extra chair'. I can't be the only one whose parents did that all the time, right?

    FYI! "San" as in San Sequoia of San Diego/San Francisco IRL actually is actually Spanish for "Saint". Our lots of our cities in CA were initially started by Spanish mission/colonizers.

    • @mariairizarry3185
      @mariairizarry3185 19 дней назад

      Correct. To be "without" as stated in the video it would have to be "sans" which is French. But I think the Sims may have used it loosely as a double entendre since San Sequoia does actually have no live sequoias.

      @@oliverbires5106 I can understand that, Cali is huge! I’ve seen a lot of this style around the middle of Cali where it gets really hot in the summer, mixed in with ranch-style houses, older Victorian styles, and modern builds. But I enjoyed seeing this style representing Cali because a lot of other states won’t have many houses like this, and I think it’s cool to show the diversity 😊

    For your next state, I suggest Michigan. As a Michigander, I can attest to the fall being one of the most beautiful times of year here. The fall leaves are a tourist attraction as well as for those that live in the southern part of the state. It's an awesome place to live aside from the roads. ;)

  • @willd.4808
    @willd.4808 Месяц назад +2

    Bay Area native here - this is so familiar and fun!!! Here's my play-by-play commentary lol. We have so many diverse styles, but the mission stucco style is super common in the Bay Area and SoCal :D Spanish colonial influence is very common here. A lot of our city names are Spanish (Los Angeles meaning The Angels and San Francisco meaning Saint Francis) Sacramento being the capital still catches even me, a lifelong resident off guard because...nothing happens in Sacramento lol X) Yes, the yellowy oak cabinets are very common here. Our counters are that same oak color. It is quite common to have an entrance to the side. Some larger houses will have an entrance in the front that's more of a fancy "guest entrance" into a foyer, as well as a side entrance into a living room, laundry or kitchen that's the more frequently used entrance. Carpeting is common here! My parent's and sister's bedrooms are carpeted. It is warm here, but not so warm that you see completely tiled houses like in Mexico. Most houses have wooden or carpeted flooring. Some mission style houses do have more tiling, though. "San" actually means "Saint," not "without" - San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, etc are named after saints! The Windows wallpaper is titled "Bliss." Unfortunately that hill isn't so green and lush anymore.

    Another fun fact:
    Barbie goes back to “Bild” Lilli. The first Bild newspaper was published on June 24th, 1952. The day before, a gap had to be filled, and so the cartoonist Reinhard Beuthien drew a cartoon with a cheeky blonde woman named Lilli.
    She wore a high ponytail and red lipstick. Lilli became so popular that a doll was made based on her and she was available across Europe in two sizes (19 cm and 30 cm). Later, she also had red and dark hair and more than 100 outfits in total. The blonde original was on top of the kiosks.
    Ruth Handler, co-founder of the toy company Mattel, traveled through Europe with her daughter Barbara in 1956, discovered Lilli in a Swiss shop window and sold a copy of the doll named after her daughter in the USA.
    It wasn't until 1959 that people in Germany got wind of the Lilli copy, and the rights were sold to Mattel for $25,000. Today, Mattel makes millions from Barbie.

    Those expensive homes were affordable for the average family just a couple generations ago! The families that have been able to keep their homes are often much "poorer" than you would think for the home values in the area. It's very sad to see Californians pushed out of the state like this. I had to flee to Kansas! Also! I think one of the Big Things about California is our fires. We have such fires. We have so many. Every year, wildfires cost billions and billions ($117 billion-ish) of tax dollars. It's an industry. Our laws are very strict, and I am spooked every time I see someone here in Kansas throw a cigarette out the window. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never seen someone do that in California. Californians know how much trouble you can get in if you're caught. It really shapes so much of the landscape, laws, and lives of the state.

    I live in California, I have most of my life. The state isn’t as great as it once was if I’m being totally honest. Most of the heavily populated areas have been given over to the homeless and the immigrants so there aren’t a lot of jobs available. Buying a home just isn’t affordable in this state anymore for new homebuyers or young families, which is why so many people are leaving the state. The conditions in Los Angeles, San Francisco along with Sacramento… It’s an embarrassment quite honestly! That being said I still love living here. I live in rural area in the north eastern part of the state and my husband and I love it up here. I would love to see you do a build for Tennessee next. There are a lot of cool places along the Smokey Mountains like Gatlinburg even Pigeon Forge, where Dolly Parton from and it be really cool to see something that includes the Smokies. Fall is miraculous in many states in our great land, but Tennessee has its own kind of beauty during the fall… I’ve never seen so much purple and red! Thanks for all you do Tanya 💛💛
