    I was born and raised here in WV, 15 minutes from Charleston. You did a great job. The house is quite accurate, especially with your description of the type of family that lived there. Unfortunately, a lot of grandparents are raising their grandchildren due to bad conditions that I won't mention. Even with all the bad, WV is a very beautiful state. Just wish others could still see the beauty of our state. Thank you.

    When you do the California episode, I really hope you make a San Francisco inspired home. As someone who is from San Francisco and was so disappointed with the new world of San Sequoia, I'm looking forward to builds that just get the vibe a bit better. Loved this West Virginia build! Gonna go listen to some John Denver now. 🥰

    Whenever you do Michigan, you could do it in the new world as a reference to the Mighty Mackinaw bridge. Either way, the lakes, trees, and Michigan basements (unfinished basements with just junk and laundry like the McAllister house) are super common.

    I grew up on the border of West Virginia (but in Ohio) and frequently shopped, visited, etc. in West Virginia. This is a lovely representation of Appalachia, and I am thrilled to have stumbled upon your channel recently and found this gem of a series!!!

  • @ronniejones3719
    @ronniejones3719 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I love this series! I really hope you haven't given up on it! Sims4 builds tend to all look very idealized suburban, and the builds from this series feel much more authentic. It's a fun way to switch things up sometimes.

    I have lots of family in West Va…this is realistic. You should do VA! It’s sister. Va is so different beaches, plains and mountains! But specifically Northern Va is arguably the most different from the rest of the state because of Washington DC. I love this series and am a new subscriber. Your do talented!

    My heart hurts. I looked into the 500 year old tree and it said a teenager set fire to the base in 2007, and in 2010 they had to bring it down because the fire caused irreparable damage, so it became a safety hazard:(

    • @kaylajarvis2946
      @kaylajarvis2946 Před 8 měsíci

      Yes sadly that did happen to our beautiful tree. I was in 7th grade when it happened and it was the talk of the county if not the whole state. I live not far from Webster Springs. So when I heard her mention our tree I was like oh yeah I remember that.

    @Glitchy_Witch Před rokem +1

    This is very well done. I live in WV, born and raised, and you nailed this build! I always love seeing my home state get some representation. Also don’t worry about pronouncing some of the places here wrong, the locals can’t pronounce the names correctly either😂. This build is perfect and I’m definitely downloading it soon. Thank you for showing my home state some love❤️

  • @Vintage_Brat

    I’m an Australian with family in the US who’s recently taken an interest in US history and geography, I’d really love to see more episodes of this series as it seems you’ve slowed down on making them.

  • @17sh3432
    @17sh3432 Před rokem +1

    Im so glad to see another part of the state series, I've missed it! Waiting for my home state of Missouri. Here's a fun fact that I think is super on brand for us here: Missouri is home to the first cow to fly on a plane. Her name was Nellie Jay and in 1930 she flew to St Louis to attend the International Aircraft Expo. Apparently she became quite the celebrity 😂 Missouri is also known as the "cave state" due to its over 7,500 recorded caves and many more that are largely unexplored and undocumented!

    @mikkaybear Před rokem

    I’d love to see what you do for my home state, Iowa! There’s some really cool old homes in bigger towns and plenty of farmhouses à la American Gothic. But then you’ve also got places like the Amana Colonies with a strong German influence and Czech Village in Cedar Rapids (along with the oldest still-standing mosque in the US). There’s also a surprising number of Victorian/gothic houses around. I’ve been binging this series and it’s so fun, can’t wait to see what you do next.

  • @JessicaAkers
    @JessicaAkers Před rokem +1

    West Virginia housing facts: because of water runoff from the mountains, the houses at the bottom of the valleys, or as we West Virginians call it "Hollers", are typically raised with the basement being above ground because of intense flooding. That way when a flood inevitably comes, only your basement is effected. You'll also notice that houses further up the side of a mountain and away from rivers and creeks don't have the raised basement because flooding is less likely to happen.
    This video has me in my feels and is very reminiscent of my home state. Good job!!
    Also, the cardinal is WV's State Bird, so that's why you would have read about it.

    I've seen people say that the houses in California can be very different depending on where you are in the state. Maybe it's a fun idea to build a few tiny houses on 1 lot based for each (or a few) style of home you can find in California?

    i’d love to see Ohio soon! specifically rural Ohio with huge emphasis on the farmlands. Ohio has brings in the most agriculture out of the entire US and contributes most to the economy in that field. All people seem to say about Ohio is “it’s so flat and nothing but cornfields! (which is 100% true 😭). Ohio not only has 20% of their people living in rural areas but also has the largest amish population in the US which is why i think it would be great to reference the rural-ness. references for rural Ohio homes could be in places like Degraff, Ohio and maybe Roundhead, Ohio! On lots of these home’s properties, farmers will pay the owners to use their land for farming so many rural Ohio homes have cornfields in their backyard haha. Would just be cool to see some representation of where I’m from since it’s barely on the map lol.

    Cali craftsman can be really fun! I built a Brady Bunch inspired house (the front exterior matched and the inside was inspired, because of course the set didn’t match the exterior on the show, but the hgtv special where the renovated the real house that was the exterior into the house from the set was helpful for this), and the Craftsman home from Zathura (I can’t remember the name of the city the real house is in, but you could look it up, because it has so many houses like that!)

    I'm from Europe but I would really like to visit the US, so every "State Series" of yours build brings it a little closer to me.
    I think North Carolina would be a really good idea too, I believe that there are some Victorian style houses in downtown so that would be awesome to see!
    Thank you for the inspiration you bring to us in every build. ❤
