- I built the same house in The Sims 4 twice to see if CC or store bought content looks better! What do you think? I personally like mixing most!
Enjoy x

CC feels cleaner and have more detail. Early Maxis items (before some updates) just seem so 2D and flat.
Honestly they need to rework all the base game items with new graphics, before they keep reworking old packs. It sucks how there's such a difference between those items and newer packs/cc
I am a console player...I am sad,that I can't have cc 😩
at least they are improving a lot
@@John-Mar same 😭
The CC looks realistic, and maxis looks a bit more cartoonish. I like both… both have a unique style….
I feel like with Maxis the challenge it’s to be creative without repeating yourself all the time while CC gives you the freedom to explore your creativity so much more.
I have an idea! Maybe James could build some simple (or not 😄) house and then tries to explain to you, step by step, on the video, how to build it? We (viewers) are going to see his house earlier and then watch you trying to recreate it ONLY by hearing the instructions! This may come out so funny when he will be trying to explain what and how he used the items 😀
P.S. Sorry for any possible mistakes, my English is not perfect. I understand everything but I'm not the best at speaking/writing in this language. Greetings from Poland! ❤
Edit: @Deligracy I have edited my comment to correct some grammar. I didnt know your "heart reaction" will disappear because of some editing actions. Well, it did disappear unfortunately. Just saying, just in case you may be looking for this comment in future for the record of the proposed challenge. Wish you all the best! 🥰
(I have no freaking idea if this Edit makes any sense, but I put it on anyway)
That’d be so fun to watch!! Good idea!
Lilsimsie and DrGluon did something like this and it was hilarious!
I love this idea! Your English is also great!
@@phoebegiles8531 thanks! 🥰
I’m from Brazil and it’s so weird! People here decorate as if we were in Connecticut! Putting fake snow in their yards, using pine trees, snowy themed Christmas decorations and super heavy food… Like why can’t we throw a tropical Christmas at the beach?
Spoons/Wetherspoons is a chain restaurant/pub in the UK, they often reuse old buildings and have super cheap food and drinks! Everything from breakfasts to cocktail pitchers
I was just about to say that - thank you for saving me from having to explain it lol xx
The dream home decorator pack has by far the best items IMO. The items are so good it feels inspired by cc lol
I love Wetherspoons 🤣
We have 9 in Sheffield and each one is a different vibe.
There is 4 in the centre of town. There is two opposite each other as well, which is funny I guess but one is a jD whetherspoons, called The Waterworks, so plays music and the other is just a regular spoons, called The Benjamin Huntsman (and probably the more popular one as it’s the biggest). There’s another in the centre of town called Bankers Draft, which is full of old men and alcoholics. Then there’s Sheaf Island, which is student central.
Then Francis Newton, which I think is more posh in the affluent area but I’m not so sure. The Rawson Spring is another jD whetherspoons in an affluent area.
Then there is Woodseats Palace and The Steel Foundry further out within Sheffield.
Then The wagon & Horses (a JD whetherspoons) in the outskirts of Sheffield in a place called Chapeltown.
I’m pretty sure Sheffield is one of the cities with the most whetherspoons in it, we really must love it. I’ve only been to the ones in the town centre though.
@@kyraday8900 yesss huge love to the Francis Newton! It has my whole heart!
I feel like we love the cc not just by the effort the creators put into it, but also because we are now so used to sims 4 objects so cc it's like a breath of something new and fun. I like both houses!
I would love to see a lived in traditional family home with dirty tan couches, that one cupboard with plates no one uses, and a random treadmill in the living room😂
CC all the way for me, so much more interesting! Would've been nice to see you do the CC house first and then try and recreate it with Maxis items. Doing it Maxis first, you've ended up with totally different designs. CC has so much more variety, could be a fun challenge for you to go all out on your CC and then see what you can find similar from Maxis. 🙂
With that terrazzo shelf from the Brutalist set, it's actually the exact width of a quarter tile. So if you put on F5 for quarter tile placement, you can place the vanity counter and therefor the sink forward by quarter of a tile to make it look built in like that! I loved that idea so just wanted to point that out, in case you see it for future builds xD
Love love love the CC version, but the EA-only one is great too. CC just steals my heart, every time.
Yeah, I wanted to say the same to her. :) Good tip for everyone. :)
Wait thats a thing?
@@sabinajoh Yep! Pretty sure Harrie goes over her design choices to make this possible in her overview video, she's really good at designing stuff to be really versatile and usable like this.
I just love how naming all of the CC creators makes it seem as if all of the pieces are made by some boujee designers, ya know?
Imagine if Deli could remember maxis packs names as well as she remembers every cc pack name hahhaha
I do really like the Maxis one, I think it holds its own quite well, I would have liked to see even more from the plant kit in that build, however these cc creators just has the best clutter and it just manages to look more lived in because of it, so yeah I would pick the cc build to live in.
I was legit shocked when you cut to the two houses built without anything in it yet - how do you come up with such pretty shells? I love your builds Deli :)
About the Christmas in Australia thing... I'm from Germany and was in June/July/August 2016 in Brisbane, Australia. And yes, that's your winter and for you it's really cold then. So on one hand I can understand that there was an ice skating area set up and some huts selling hot drinks. They reminded me of the ones we have in December on Christmas markets. On the other hand however... it had 20°C! I was wearing Shirts! Even your winter is not cold enough for the Christmas I am used to 😂😂😂
I'm American & keep my windows open almost all winter. It is currently 40°F(4.5°C?) & my windows are open & I'm hot. I think it's only cold when I shut the windows. Last year we turned the heat on once. It was -45°F over night. That is -42°C, I think.
It's MUCH colder down South in Melbourne where Deli is from than it is in Brisbane- sincerely, someone whos lived exactly half his life in each city
i'm from finland and that's basically the warmest we get 😂 i hate it here but 20C is a lot for me and i wish it was never under that but i'm sadly used to something around -40 at worst
I liked both houses, and I love the fact that we can pick and choose. I used to use only alpha style CC furniture but have found that (same creators you use) make the best of all of it. Everything in game blends beautifully with their CC and even their CC blends so well together too. Thanks, Deli, I loved both!
The CC house has a more polished and posh look. I would pick that house over the maxis house. I like to mix it up though. If I use too much custom content in a build I feel like it loses its “sim-ness” lol
I was an au pair in Australia two years and I had the opportunity to live my first ever summer-Christmas.
It was definitely really weird for me🙈 but I liked that the Christmas lights at the shops where shaped as jellyfish and Dolphins (and staff like that) instead of the classic snowflakes or bells!!
The CC objects have so much texture than the maxis’ ones, makes houses look more realistic!
To be honest I like both of the building 🙈😂
I'm from South Africa and have never been able to experience a christmas with snow
@@DissonantSynth
Tbh, neither have I. I live in the UK and I've personally never gotten snow during the Christmas period. (Actually I lie, I have a vauge memory of one, lol. So quite rarely 😅)Its usually in January/February or well, right now. We've just had a storm that brought the brilliant cold stuff.
At the same time, I couldn't imagine a warm Christmas lol.
@@coriolis4761 lol in the Scotland part of Britain (not specifying what bit but it’s close to the top of Scotland) we have snow!! It’s also really chilly. I heard of the storm in England though
@@leahu4381
Yeah. I didn't get it too bad, and the snow has basically already melted. It's actually so sad. I love the snow, lol and it only truly feels like winter when it's snowy.
loved both but the cc house wins bc it's just so cohesive and aesthetic
I like how your Murch doesn’t just have your logo on it or your brand name it also has a personal touch like with commands on the arms it makes me want it more than ever. ❤️
Even though I don't like the style of a lot of the CC you used (most of these fashions seem like they'll be out of date in 2 years) I MUCH prefer the CC house because it feels more personalised and detailed and more flexible in options. A lot of Maxis stuff is a little bland just so that it can appeal to more people, but I like being able to have very specific styles and CC makes a house seem like it's lived in by real people
You returning to the outro music you used back when I first started watching your content 7 years ago is just the best feeling
Although cc makes things look more realistic and honestly a little better..its also the easy way to decorate. With basegame only, you're definitely limited, but you're also challenged, which makes for more interesting decorating. I'm on console, so no cc for me. But it challenges me to create some of the most detailed rooms and lots in my game. I just finished recreating the Asian resturant 'TAO'. One of my favorite places to eat. It was very challenging with only basegame content but I pulled it off. It looks brilliant and the Sims love it there. If you you look hard enough, basegame (and owning a few packs) has some pretty good items to work with...including you have imagination.
Cc just opens a whole new world for me I love interior design and some times Maxis just doesn’t have a defined style or when it does it’s a bit basic
I like both builds and I agree, blending maxis and cc is usually best. Thank you for sharing the links for all the cc you used. Definitely have to get the brutalist cc. I love it! 😀
I grew up in Massachusetts, currently live in Texas. We 100% still decorate with all the traditional Christmas decorations but it's still weird that I can go outside right now in a tank top.
It’s amazing you did your merch ethically and sustainably ☺️
Not from Australia, but do live in the Southern Hemisphere. I can definitely confirm that even in South Africa we have winter decorations in stores for Christmas.
I went to New Zealand for Christmas once, and it was an odd experience. Christmas decorations in summer, Santa in shorts, chilling on the beach on Christmas Eve. Would absolutely do it again, though! Much more pleasant weather than Norway has in December!
This was an interesting build , love seeing the difference between the two.
Was wondering if you are going to review/look at what other people did with your new home in the sims ?
“ I thought it would be cool” deli we love you but let’s be real it wasn’t your thought, we’ve been saying this in comments and in streams for a while 😂 but yessssass I’m so excited to see this finally
the maxis house is basically just a dream home decorator house. it would be nice to see this again with more of a mixture of packs.
Anything you build Deli is better than anything that comes with the sims builds, whether its CC or from sims packs. You got me either way.
I think I like the maxis one just because it looks more realistic and pretty, the cc is okay but I think it wasn’t as fun and colorful, it’s also too simple and just didn’t scream or made a statement lol
That was a wonderful and interesting idea, to furnish those 2 houses and compare them, loved it! Also loved both houses equally.
SO I have the cc of most of what you have but there are a few I don't have. I am super grateful you linked everything. TY!!
I was binge-watching ur twitch streams, and I got the notification u uploaded. I really like this vid idea, ts4 furniture has really grown but so has the cc creators, so it is v interesting to see the two styles 😮😮
Wow....these are both stunning!!! Yeah I love both, and I feel like I like maxis for main stuff and love cc for details and extras and matching. These are gorgeous made house though Deli!
oh my god I loved the maxis side you used so much color! I love you girl and your monochrome style but I also love color it looked so good.
Deli the vast majority of california isn’t warm in our winter. it’s 40°F where i live currently and will be down in the 30°F range by next month; it’s even colder a few miles from me where it snows
In Brazil it's also very hot during Christmas season and we also have all the snow, reindeers and winter decoration lol I always felt it was very weird, it's right during summer and even in the winter we don't have snow here (very rarely it happens in the south). But well, tradition, I guess?
i like using some cc in my own builds but i much prefer watching youtubers build without it, and i think that's partly because a lot of the fun for me is seeing different ways different people use the same familiar items i also recognise & see other people use
i was feeling overwhelmed with stuffs that suddenly got in my plan and here deli comes distracting me from all the overthinking and anxiety 🥺✨
Yaaasss I’ve wanted to see this type of build for so long now!!!
You said a Mies van der Rohe quote and it reminded me of how some classmates I know, who play or were inspired by sims are becoming Interior Architects. It’s just funny because I am too and every person I’ve come across has played it lol.
Also, I enjoy watching the builds you come up with and the way you furnish them (: I learn some things from you I haven’t been taught about yet
Wow, both are beautiful and well put together. I can help but love the choices in the CC house a bit more though. I have all that CC and use it liberally so two thumbs up for your design and aesthetic!
The CC kitchen & living room are brilliant! 👍
Omg first! Hi Deli. I’m loving these build videos recently ^^ n personally I prefer the maxis furnishing~
Deli has the best taste in CC, thanks to her, I’ve discovered so many incredible packs and creators.
I’ve downloaded more than 3/4 of the same CC she has, and I adore it.
Being from Hawaii, we go overboard on Christmas/holiday/winter decor. Santa also outriggers in to Waikiki beach on Xmas morning
The Maxi one is my absolutely favorite I would totally live in it 💖 But the CC one is cute too
From FL, can confirm, Christmas occurs during Christmas, and where I live, there's zero chance of snow and about 5% chance of weather below 40F...although for us we put on our snow suits in any weather under like 65F. I also come from Ohio, where seasons are an actual thing and snow happens at a normal time. It took a couple years but you get used to it pretty quickly. I think the one difference is that we usually just wait for a "cold snap" before busting out the hot cocoa.
deli!!!!! the merch is fantastic please put links to the site in ur video descripts and add a link on ur website bc i had to do some searching to find it!!! such a genius idea i love it cant wait to see what you come up with next!!!
Bless deli for not knowing what Spoons is. It's short for Wetherspoons - a British pub chain
i love the cc free version!! i think its so cute.
I’m all for the CC! It just brings so much more life in the game now. Btw, I grew up in New Jersey which we had almost had a white Christmas always. I’ve been in California for three years and I can’t get with decorating either in warmer weather lol
Hey Deli! 🥰
I love your videos! I hope to be as good at building as you one day! Could you please do a video on Cc’ shopping of Cc you haven’t yet explored? I would love to see more and don’t know what is safe to download etc.
love from Australia!! ☺️☺️
I surprised my self with how much I actually love that brutalist bathroom kit!😍it looks soooooooooo good!
I would actually love to see a Christmas vlog from you! So weird it’s in summer 😂
I'm from Germany and have been to Australia twice. First time in December 2014. I visited a friend who was backpacking at this time. I flew to Cairns, via Sydney an we travelled down to Sydney in five weeks. When i got on the plane in Frankfurt (GER) we had about 5°C and when i got off in Sydney, it was nearly 40°C and there was christmas decoration EVERYWHERE. It felt very crazy seeing palmtrees and fake christmas trees with lametta and christmas ornaments. We usually don't have that many fake christmas trees over because we love the real ones. And so we went diving with christmas hats, had barbecues, went to the beach and did everything i usually know from previous summer holidays. 24th of December we went to the beach on magnetic island, drawed a christmas tree into the sand and waited for the sun to go down. Next day we took the only ferryride back to land that was on schedule that day. We knew, you guys celebrate more on the 25th, but we didn't expect every store to be closed on that day, because your shops are usually open 7days a week ^^ So we had to get around with the food we had for one day, but it was still one of the best christmas eves i had!
The second time i came back to Sydney in July 2019. The Robotics team i coach at my Highschool qualified for the the world championship, so we went down there with five girls, my co-coach (she the friend who i visited Downunder in 2014) my boyfriend and a teacher from our school. This time things were the other way round. We hopped on the plane in Frankfurt with 28°C and when we got off in Sydney we had about 17°C. We spent a week in Sydney with Robocup and after the competition was over, we had time to explore Sydney and... were very confused to find christmas stuff again ^^ There was a little Christmas market at Sydney habour and when we went to the Blue Mountains for one Night, nearly everything in Katoomba was christmas decorated. They told us, the nights are cold enough to have snow in July, so they celebrate a second Christmas to get the cold and snowy feeling. We didn't have snow while we were there but it had still temperatures below zero, something i didn't expect beforehand. And just about two weeks later we visited K'gari Island and swam in the warm waters of Champagne Pools with 27°C air temperature.
I loved both visits, even though they were very different and I am determined to return a third time, with or without Christmas ;)
I live in Florida, smack dab in the middle of the state, and I can promise you we get pretty cold here in the winter. Not the whole winter! Not even weeks at a time. Heck, we're lucky if its even days at a time. But we get our couple of cold days during this time of the year. We've actually had some BEAUTIFUL cool weather the last few weeks, with very low humidity. The humidity is what kills it here. In the summer time you can't breathe, and in the winter time its a wet cold. So even though 50 degrees celsius doesn't sound very cold, you feel it in your bones. I'd take the dry cold of my Michigan native roots over this wet humid cold any day!
Definitely like the cc better. It's just way cooler objects!
I live in Argentina (south america) so we have christmas on summer too, like 40 degrees summer and i totally get what you're saying about christmas decoration, it doesn't suit the season and it gets pretty annoying that we don't have our own inspiration for decor. At least we have summery fresh homemade food and drinks to enjoy 😅
Seeing the cc side makes me so happy. I already have a majority of this stuff 😊💜
Hey Deli, I really love your style and am in the middle of binge watching your builds! You mentioned that you look at interior design magazines--would you be willing to list a few of your favorites? I'm curious to check them out👀
it is hard to choose when you're so good at decorating! both are good and unique !!
Movie, operation Christmas... love it! a lot of good Christmas movies.
I like both of the houses and I think it's practical that they didn't have windows looking into one another. I agree that a mixture between maxis and cc is definitely more fun. If I'm not mistaken, Harrie's Spoons pack is based on the UK's chain of pubs group Weatherspoons, for short the brits call it spoons lol.
Love this video!!
I really like both cc and maxis builds pretty equally. I am really loving the content creaters you use, especially the doors and windows. I am a California girl born and raised, Love Christmas decorations, I tend to go overboard on the decorations at Christmas. It never seemed strange to me to have traditional decorations in a warm climate. We put up lights outside, but never did fake snow, that might be a little strange to me.
aah i love watching cc builds, it’s so tempting to get some, but i play in my work pc and i’m afraid it might get laggy if i download too much stuff
Love this idea 😍
Christmas movies in December are so good! Wish it snowed in Aus to set the mood 🤣Christmas in regional NSW is the hottest time of the year!
So thanks for that cc haul I just did. My cc folder is bursting now. lol
CC!!! But I do love the black door on the Maxis one
I’m getting a laptop soon and can’t wait for cc!
LOVE THIS IDEA!!
CC looks amazing
3:40 Bins and toilets!
Aaah! This was my suggestion! Thanks for doing this! (You might not have seen my comment you might have just come up with this idea yourself too, but I'm still excited!!) 😊💗
Can you make another video going over all your favorite custom content?? I know youve done it before but you always have so many amazing new items. Also love your videos and builds!
Such an awesome idea!
Also are you gonna continue tiny home Tuesday??
I love them both!
My brother is a Canadian who has been living in Australia for 3-4 years now and he says the North American Christmas theming that happens on your side of the planet is SUPER weird, haha.
Really beautiful builds, as always Deli. I think you found your groove on this one!
First off love your channel I live in Texas so we can have a Christmas that’s cold as hell or we might have to mow the lawn so it looks nice for when the family comes over lol we never know what it is going to be from one year to the next!!
Im amazed at how u remember who made every piece of cc
Oh yeah, the Christmas in hot climates is kinda odd, here in Brazil we're decorating things with fake snow and the weather is like 35-37°C , but I kinda love it, specially 'cause my apt is all grey walls and black furniture the green, red and gold look so good. The only thing is food, traditional Christmas time food is so heavy for hot climates, ham, roasted turkey and veggies, it's all amazing, but also a lot.
It took me several hours to watch this video because I kept pausing it to take notes on the cc :D
I made a little Christmas tree out of a wooden tree cut out, and I glued a bunch of green sea glass to it, and used a row of blue to be the lights. And a starfish on top lol its really cute and I feel like it could work for warm Christmas
GOOOD IDEA! SO the People see how good the CC is.
I lived in South Africa and we had Christmas in summer so when I moved to England it was so weird having a cold Christmas
I really wanted to buy your merch, but it was out of stock when I arrived, so I really hope that it will get a restock. 🥺🥺 Also, the builds are awesome! 😍😍
A video idea that you can do is do a build where you use only items you hate and/or dispise not sure if you done that before but I think its a cool idea
I'm from Alabama and it gets decently cold here. (just below freezing) I remember a few years ago it was down to 10*F and I didn't know what to do with myself. ofc ik other places are used to that. but you'd never think Alabama or Florida would be. it usually stays around 50 or below during winter.
I live in florida and it gets pretty cold here where I am. So it does feel like christmas to us. But I understand what you are saying because I used to live in Tampa and we would get some warm christmas's.
The cc house is my dream house. Beautiful!!
Both houses are stunning!!! I love them both… :)
This video was perfect timing cleaning and reorganizing my cc and going on a cc shopping spree
honestly, the moment i’ve learned to download custom contents, i’ve never looked back. i just cant.
In South Africa we also have a warm Christmas, summertime! I also think all the decorations look sooo out of place!😂
