Welcome To  The Blog!

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I am starting to expand my gardening repertoire, and I’m looking to start growing herbs in my home and garden. One of those herbs is mint. I love my mint plants, because there are so many uses for them. Not only are they great in food, but they’re great at keeping a home free from pests and they are great for antibacterial cleaning products. Who knew, right? I didn’t…well…that’s not true, I learned about it in school, and I know for a fact tha

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I love building houses in The Sims 4. Now, granted, my favourite medium is The Sims 4, but I am also exploring other video games and creating houses in unique and different ways that test my imagination and creativity. Mind you, I haven’t played these other games for very long, and no, I’m not just talking about InZoi and Paralives. There are other games where you can build your own home, from the ground up, like in Palia, or Disney Dreamlight

Hello Everyone! We all want cosy homes that have some character to them, something to say that this space is ours, and there’s nowhere in the world like it. It’s also a place we want to show off to our friends and family, have them hang out and be impressed by our style and aesthetic. Well, that is, for most of us. After all, there are those who don’t really care about how a home looks, because it’s already cosy for them, and that’s ok. I’m probably part of the latter, becaus

Hello Everyone! Today, we’re going to be talking about growing coffee plants. I’ve tried this a couple of times before, and I was progressing well, until I made the mistake of putting the plant into a non-draining plastic container (I didn’t realise it didn’t have a drainage hole, so the roots rotted, and the plants died in the end). However, now that I’ve learned from my mistakes, I am slowly improving and growing my coffee plants into the bushes they’re meant to be. So, her

Hello Everyone! As with all my previous builds, here’s your follow-up blog article for the community build I made for August. So, what did I decide to do? I went with a Small Business Venue that you can use or modify to whatever it is you want to make it into. Personally, I wanted to make a souvenir shop and bar, so that vacationing Sims had somewhere to go to party, other than the main island bar, in Sulani, but I’ll talk about that in a bit. First, if you haven’t seen the v

Hello Everyone! Today, I’ll be talking about the expansion packs I use in my Sims 4 house and community builds. Now, for the most part, the style of my build determines the main packs I use. So, for example, I use a lot of items from the Life & Death pack, for a lot of my Victorian or Art Deco builds. I use Realm of Magic for my Art Nouveau builds, and of course, I use Cottage Living, for a lot of my cottages as well, but there are some packs that I use over and over again, b

Hello Everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about the differences between minimalism and maximalism, and which end of the spectrum I like more. After all, there are some aspects of both design choices that I like. For example, I like a clean kitchen, free counter tops, tables and surfaces, but sometimes I like the look of full shelves or cluttered cupboards, but which is better? Let’s take a look. 1. Minimalism = Easier Cleaning One thing I love about minimalistic designs is t

Hello Everyone! I’m so glad you’re here. It’s August, and it’s Thursday! You know what that means. It’s blog post time! So, if you haven’t seen my YouTube channel yet, I’ve made this month’s house build, and it’s an island themed one. Check it out if you haven’t already. So, here’s the thing, I was really debating whether or not I should go for the island theme or a coastal theme. Essentially, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a Sulani build or a Brindleton Bay build. I had, fo

Hello Everyone! I’m back with another Plant Something New post, and this time, we’re talking about keeping your plants hydrated, especially in the summer. As you all know, I recently went on vacation, and because I have some plants that require a bit more attention than my succulents, I needed a way to keep them hydrated. Of course, there are plenty of ways to do that, and while I didn’t implement all of them, when I went away, I do know of some methods that help. So, let’s g

Hello Everyone! This post is a little different from the normal Build The Dream post, because I don’t have a video to attach here. This one is an opinion post, because I don’t want to just fill this section with videos. After all, you can find them on my YouTube channel, which I highly recommend you check out. Anyway, today’s post, as you can see, is a list of all my favourite build types in The Sims 4. Now, bear in mind, these build types are based on real builds, but with m

Hello Everyone! It’s been a while since I last spoke about an interior design or even an organisation topic. Of course, that’s all because I’m back on track with my blog posts now, and we can get back to the planned schedule. Anyway, let’s move on, because I’ll talk about this in another blog post, and let’s talk about throwing out things you don’t need. For some of you, you’ll know that I’m a little bit of a hoarder (if I’m a hobby hoarder, you’ll know I have stashes and sta

Hello Everyone! It’s that time again, where we talk about plants and growing things. This time, I’m talking about one of the most beginner friendly plants to start out with, when you want to start growing your own garden. I’m talking about succulents. Ok, so it’s already in the title, but succulents are such good plants to grow, especially with the growing issue of climate change. There are certain succulents that can survive and thrive in the ever-changing seasons, especiall

Hello Everyone! I think you all know what time it is! It’s Build Time! Ok, so this week, I have a community build ready for you. This one, I actually wasn’t sure about. I had initially planned for a brewery, or a vineyard, like the ones you see in the Tuscany region or the south of France, but when I opened up the game and began building, I realised what could be better than a bistro, or a luxury restaurant? Europe is known for their pride in good food. You have Italy and Gre

Hello Everyone! The latest Sims Stop Motion Build video is up, and this time, we’re going full summer! This month’s theme, if you haven’t already guessed is a Hacienda style build. Now I’ll explain it all in a bit, but if you haven’t watched the video yet, you can check it out here. Ok, so let’s get on with the blog post. This time I chose a Hacienda style home, because of course I need to; it’s summer, it’s hot, and what says “hot” more than “hacienda” (it actually means “ta

Hello Everyone! Today, I have another Plant Something New blog post for you. This time, I’m talking about propagation. I mentioned in my previous posts that I’ve tried to propagate my current indoor plants, before, and while I’ve been successful for the most part, I have had some failures too. In fact, one of the succulent plants I have is not the original. It was grown from a “baby” my previous succulent grew. I just managed to plant it at the right time and in the right con

Hello Everyone! It’s time to talk about plant growing and all that jazz. Ok, so if you’ve read my previous post, you’ll know that I’ve become a plant mom. I started growing some indoor plants a few years ago, and have developed a love for it, and every so often, whenever I’m at the garden centre, I just have to pick up a new plant. Why? Because I want to see how far my gardening skills have gone. I’m not at the stage yet, where I can start building raised flower beds and grow

Hello Everyone! Today’s post is a little different from the regular schedule. Now, I haven’t spent much time on this section of the blog, purely because I’ve never really had enough time to upload a Sims build and make a blog post for it, before. However, with the recent changes in my personal life, I now have that time. So, what does that mean for this section? Well, if you’ve been keeping up with my Patreon page (which I highly recommend you do, and if you are able to help

Hello Everyone! We’re back with another Sims Stop Motion Build video. So, what do I have in store for you today? Well, we’re finally caught up, and it’s the June build! This month, as you already know, is Jungle month…for me, at least. I’ve got a new one for you, which, honestly, is probably going to be one of the top 5s in my book. I’ve never done a build like this before, and I was pretty nervous when I started it, but when I got into the flow, I realised just how easy it

Hello Everyone! I’m back with another Sims build for you. It’s the build that was supposed to go up in May, but as we all know, a lot happened, and I couldn’t get it on my YouTube channel on time, but it’s here now. I did tell you I was going to be hitting you hard with all these videos for these two weeks. So, what did I build in May? Well, as you can see, we went with a cottagecore theme! That’s right, May was my absolute favourite architectural type. The quaint little coun

Hello Everyone! This is new…I’ve not seen this page before…Oh wait, this used to be the “Let’s Get Organised” section of the blog. What happened? Well, first of all, let me tell you how difficult it is to write a blog post about organisation, specifically organisation of items in the home. I realised the error of my ways, and have reshuffled the single post that used to be in here, into the “Make A House A Home” section of the blog, because it makes more sense there, and hone
