Maybe the kids' parents were military or scientists who disappeared in Strangerville Edit: What if the daughter wants to become a paranormal investigator and contact her parents ghosts??

Yes! They have been killed by the Mother in Strangerville and the girl wants to discover how they disappear. Her brother stop talking since their death and he's a loner and pessimistic guy who hasn't accepted his parent's death yet, he played all day to not think about them and about what happened to them. But, despite this apparent lack of interest, he's also into science, space, aliens and studies to know about them and tries to find answers too. So, her little sister asks him for help: she's the emotional and supernatutal part with ghosts and psychic's stuff; he's the rational and scientific mind.
Could you do Lorelai and Rory's house from Gilmore girls. Its totally your style! It would be beautiful

Omg I am watching that show currently
I love that the dining table only has two chairs. It pushes the idea that the kids moved in very suddenly, and can definitely contribute to the kids feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Could explain some of the conflict/tension between the teenager and grandparents
I imagine that the granddaughter (who has main character vibes) living here is quite curious, and when she found the cowplant growing in the concrete near her school, she had to investigate. She enlists the help of her brother, who is quite knowledgeable about all thing science fiction but isn’t really the perfect grandson his grandfather imagined (one that he could take fishing and stuff), to help her solve the mystery encircling their town. It turns out that when they lived in Strangerville, their grandmother worked for the government, and the cowplant was offspring of the Mother Plant. Can they save the world from the invasive species, will the brother win the heart of the popular girl next door, will the sister reunite with the alcoholic mother she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade?

i love it! but have you considered... the grandson winning the guy next door heart 🌈😳 maybe that guy would have a family more incorporated in strangerville (like having the keys of the archives because his parent is the mayor of strangerville or something) and help them unconsciously or with throwaway small clues...

Omg yes
Maybe the parents were very young like teen young so they didn’t wanna look after as for uni and stuff
Putting the debug house next to your house is like the most genius thing ever.
Is this house build going to be part of your save file? The idea's really interesting. Maybe the parents passed away or lost their parental rights, they were prolly struggling to make end meets and can't motherlode but they don't want their kids to end up in foster homes so grandparents to the rescue. I'd like to think the parents are working to win back custody or one could be deadbeat for some drama. The grandma can be badas_, like Elizabeth II badas_, serving military, fighting criminals! Aww, the little girl and her tiny Cowplant's cute, good thinking! The house will give any kid Sims the perfect childhood, it's well thought-out. I don't know you personally Dawn, I think you're a great Mum and I know I congratulated you so many times - I'm just happy for you and your family 💖
the family lived in strangerville until the parents both got possessed and disappeared, and the grandparents had to move away so the kids could be safe.

Ok, I love this
Maybe the teen boy is so into gaming that everyone thinks he's wasting his life away with it. He starts dating a really proper girl that's really smart (maybe she lives in Mt. Komorebi) and her parents don't approve and don't like him because they think she deserves "better". And he ends up being a professional gamer very successful.
i was raised by my grandparents and i love how you portrayed this on how not everyone is lucky enough to have their parents
I LOVE seeing the debug shells being used!!! I don't know why I love the debug items so much. They just look so detailed and give the lots more character.
thank you for still uploading videos, especially as a new mom!
I'm so glad the simlicy save is still thriving! I'm dying for you to fix the Ward mansion, lol, it needs help. Vintage Hollywood glamour seems like something you would be absolutely amazing at.
Their parents are very busy people and work a lot for their jobs! They had to move to a different ‘state’ so the grandparents watch their children! I think that’s a good backstory. Also, I ❤️ the house! I cannot wait to start playing the sims again 😁
story idea for the parents: maybe they were criminals (fake mediums or con artist type of thing) so the grandparents took the kids to live with them, maybe thats why the daughter has the cow plant and is actually really interested in spiritualism and has a natural gift for it but doesn't want the grandparents to find out!
One set of my grandparents loved playing Nintendo games. They actually had a Nintendo before me lol. It was so much fun playing video games with them. I have very fond memories, they have both passed now.
Ok sad storyline, but maybe the parents died fairly recently and the daughter is convinced that she can talk to their ghosts or she has realized she has some abilities as a medium and is looking into it, but the rest of the family thinks she’s imagining it all and should try to let go.
Those beds are my favorite, the tops look like quilts. Yes, I am a quilter. lovely build.
Congrats on the new baby! Love your builds and decor aesthetic. Your builds are always so cohesive land cozy looking. I swear every time I watch one of your builds, I’m inspired. ☺️
You should renovate more EA builds! I always love what you do with them! They always come out so adorable! ❤️
I am so glad you are back making videos! I love playing in your save file, everything is so detailed and each family is so unique. Plus the family portraits you add just makes it even better! I can't wait for an updated version, glad you took time to spend with your son as well, enjoy this time with your little one, it goes by so fast!
I can’t wait for the “Charm” family home. I love that family but I hate that base house lol
This is one of my favorites of your builds. It is perfect for the vibe you described
Could you maybe at some point build 4 houses, each inspired by the four elements? The houses can look normal, but maybe the interior looks themed to the element. Like for water a beach house, with very oceanic decor inside and such.
love all the details in this
maybe the daughter is getting interested in the paranormal stuff like trying to contact their parent(s) who might have recently or suddenly died? the cow plant isn’t really ghosty but it could be a gateway into other stuff from the pack
I absolutely love this so much, and I am so happy that you are back. I wish you and your family well.
So cute and impressively detailed! I love the debug house on the lot...great idea 💡!!! You always have such amazing builds...I’m glad you’re back and all is well with your family🥰
Amazing job! Love that your back. Congrats on the baby boy.
This house reminds me of my grandparent's house, i miss them so much😭🖤
I love this so much! I haven't even finished it yet but I know it's gonna be AMAZING
Ooh girl I have missed your videos!! So glad you are back and inspiring us again
Your builds are so insanely realistic! I love them so much!
I love that you have hallways, houses now by most Simmers don't.
Congrats on the new baby! And this house looks so realistic! Great work! Looking forward to the next save update.
I love this build!! So amazing and I enjoy the storyline.
I love this house desgin!!
Congratulations on your bundle of joy 😊.
so cozy! love it
Loved this! Such a sweet story for the build ♥
Omg why am I just getting this notification!!! The picture before the video is everything I just know when I see you upload something its perfect! My favorite builder
What a lovely house! I hope that you are doing fine with your new baby! Let’s hope he becomes a simmer as well lol❤️❤️
the backyard is so peaceful. :)
This is one of your best builds tbh
your builds are always so good!!!!
When there was a sudden flood of puppies and kittens in the save I lost my mind, it was so funny and every single family suddenly had like 5 pets 😂😂🙈 I think maybe their parents disappeared, considering the Strangerville storyline? Maybe the cowplant was a gift from a fortune teller who traveled through Strangerville around the time the parents went missing and told the child to seek her out eventually? I love this build and can't wait for your save file updates!
Glad to hear you are doing well and glad to see you building again! :)
the paranormal pack is based around ghost hunting! you can host seances, become a ghost hunter, and make haunted houses!
I love when you use the shell debug houses because I like the neighborhood that feels full and the Sims 4 Lots are way too big. The same goes for the apartments but some of the builders have been using platforms to fill in some parts of the apartment, which just makes the apartments feel more New York because they feel overpriced now that they’re smaller and I love that. sometimes if I do use a shell house I’ll put a shell within the shell so to prevent him from trying to walk into it because I’m not sure if they can do that but I don’t want them to even if they can.😀
Hi! :) I really like your builds because they are realistic and I feel like you put a lot of thought into the design of your homes and the stories of each family. Looking forward to your next upload. Sending love from the philippines.
Really pretty and I love the story!!🥰
this house is so cozy and lovely
such a cute house and story line, makes me want to play the sims!
Congrats on 300k!!🥳🥳
This house is awesome! And I love the cool backstory for the kids and their grandparents. I imagine their parents were sadly killed in a car wreck and suddenly, despite their plans for retirement, the grandparents find themselves with two kids on their hands. Now they are trying to make the best of things 😊
I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK, I LOVE YOU. CONGRATS ON BABY I AM SURE YOU ARE AN AMAZIMG MOM. 💕💖
You're getting better at it
I love your content your constructions are always great ❤
I LOVE THIS!!!!❤️
congrats on 300k! 💞
💜💜💜always love these videos!
i really like the house the way it turned out and the story is pretty fun , you could say that the parents have moved some years ago to an other country or state for a better work oportunity and the kids wanted to stay buckor they couldent come . in my mind is a boy and a girl or two boys and they live in a simply way far from the city they play out a lot or going fishing or riding their bikes with they friends and come home late at night so that might be a reason why they fight with their grandparents and they have a more oldsckool lifestyle .
I live with my grandparents because my mum is in the military and my dad lives 8 hours away by plane so I live with my grandparents and I love it because it’s so cozy and cluttered and the fire is always on and I just couldn’t imagine my life differently.
i love this so much
There is adding clutter for the sake of adding clutter and then adding clutter for the sake of realness or realism and you have mastered the realism of clutter every one of your houses to me feels like real people live there and I love that which is probably why I am often downloading your houses to play in. Good Job!
Congrats on your son I haven't watched your videos pre covid since I watched them non-stop in my dorm
Congrats on 300k!
Congrats on ur baby boy!
We have those houses (skinny houses) in Georgia, they're called shotgun houses lol. Great job btw.
You should build something in strangerville, I miss that world

For some reason, when you placed the truck outside, I imagined that maybe the teenage son would be into cars. So maybe fixing up cars is something he and his grandpa would do together and that's their bonding time when he's not rebellious or anything like that.
Love your videos Dawn, you’re so good at what you do!💜
This build is so cute! And I love the backstory! Also, parent idea: the mom died of a sickness and the dad became depressed and started drinking a lot, so the grandparents took custody of them so that he wouldn’t be able to hurt them.
I replaced the kitchen in your Garden Dream Farm build with the one from the kit and it looks absolutely gorgeous.
Your videos always remind me of life is strange and I absolutely love it😍😍😍
I’d love to see Simlicy do a log cabin/lake cabin because I feel like she would really capture that lived in home away from home feel
Immediate thought from seeing the thumbnail: OH MY GOSH THAT’S SO CUTE!!! 😍😍😍 *downloads*
Both my grandparents loved to fish. Why not have both grandparents be big fishers? And bird watching is a great activity for couples! perfect build once again.
Congrats in 300k subs!!
I live with my grandparents in a cottage in the countryside and I love it even tho I don’t have friends were I live I love nature so it’s the best (please don’t ask about my parents thank you)
This is really making me miss my Gram and her house, 🥺😢💖
Congratulations on the baby 👶 I wish you so much happiness.
I enjoy the kits! It reminds me of the Sims 3 online store! I bought so much on the store that I have over 20 pages of downloadable content. I enjoy having new addition of items to the game on between packs. :) I love this little family house ❤️ Also, I like that the teenagers wallpaper does not match his aesthetic! It’s more realistic and it looks like he tried to use the posters to cover the wallpaper because he probably hates it. Lol
I was waiting for this! 💕 **Pulls up chair!!!**
Literally described my grandparents! i was raised by my grandparents
The queen of building has uploaded again
Lovely build, you've really succeeded in making It look lived in. I know I'm a little late but I just happened to come across It. 😇😇
I also like to build families based around houses. Making families is my favorite so I’ll download houses I love from the Gallery and then build families based on the house.
I get so excited everytime I see a new build, I need a life 😅
Damn you're talented 😊
I love your savefile ! so excited for the update :) We could may be use a hashtag for the gallery, it would be easier to choose from your page (just a thought)
I feel that the mini cowplant is somehow connected to her parents, so she goes on this "quest" of some sort to learn more about her roots through the cowplant. Maybe her mother/father was a ghost hunter (that's what the paranormal pack is about btw) and the cowplant was like their sidekick?! And it found its way to her; that would be very weird but its what I imagine 😅😂
What if the grandma is eco-friendly and joins the movement to make the Harbor better? And she invites the child to help clean up and that's where she finds the Cowplant?!
you could've made the laundry room into a dining space and put the washing machine in the garage :) the build is great as always
I found a nice story for the cowplant thing! maybe there is a big house cleaning day and grandma goes to clean the girls room and when she was getting the dust of the bookshelf she dropped the cowplant and they decided to keep it so they planted it at the back yard and covered it with bushes so the neighbours dont see it.
I honestly don’t think you realise how excited we get when we see there’s a new video up 😅😅
maam, I can't wait to play your updated savefile👁👄👁
Chubby Gramps! With plaid and shirt braces/suspenders (idk what u guys call em I'm British lol. Does the Sims even have that?! I don't have the game) and a moustache! For hot weather he has a bucket hat, crazy patterned shirt cargo shorts, and sandals with socks lol! Grandma is very delicate and feminine. Always wears skirts/dresses and lil heeled shoes. She calls everyone 'dearie' hahaha!
