Can Norma be a part of the lets build the world save file, with her children and grandchildren living in the world as well and they would come visit her and help out in her bakery once in a while. I think that would be a wonderful story line

One thing I noticed about the home chef selling table is your neighbors will come over most of the time. I imagine Norma is the neighborhood grandma and everyone comes over to buy her cakes and pies and spend time in her cozy shop and she lives her best granny life feeding up the whole town.

Festive jumper: Check Festive background decorations: Check Adorable dog: Check Holiday vibes: immaculate

it always makes me laugh how after a video full of dirty jokes and inuendos, Aden proceeds to have the most relaxing and heartwarming video tours lol! lovely build as always!

I love the idea of the bakery there bc right "downtown" there's the kiosks of local ingredients! I imagine she buys from them every morning or every other morning for ingredients, nice and locally grown. She even gets a discount bc she's been there for so long so everyone knows her and her sweets. Every year she holds like a small gathering for the local vendors/business owners like Sara who owns the pub, the lady with the long braid who sells ingredients, the lady who sells flowers, and the Mayor and her son. She has a personal problem with Agnes crumplebottom so she never invites her lol.

bloody stunning build , I see Norma as a retired Home Economics teacher who decided to open the bakery to deal with the death of her husband who died while judging the best chicken competition, where the winning chicken somehow knew he hadnt voted for her and went beserk and killed him. Her students loved her and brought her the cat when she retired and are all regular customers, as are their parents as she taught them too.!!

Oh Aden, the video tour is just wonderful! So relaxing. And a little Devon Bumpkin cameo is always appreciated :)

Ok but this would make a cute Hallmark movie where there's another bakery across the street that sells a competing specialty baked good. Norma and the owner of the other shop, say...Gerald?, have a quiet feud going for many years. But *something something the spirit of Christmas* brings them together to bake the most sweets the town's ever seen to raise money for some Christmas Eve charity and they fall in Christmas love 😆

I don't know if you can overdose on cozy, but I'm here for it.

Daisy in the background at the start of the video is adorable🤗

I love the detail of her having a cat, it's so sweet! Lovely build, thank you! ^^

Even though the storyline had a sad moment, it made it more realistic. My dad passed this time of the year and there's always some sadness with the holiday festivities.

Devon Bumpkin - Nice build for the season and cute theme for Christmas. There are all kinds of fun Christmas baking deco and mods out there that would go with this build nicely. In our ‘Christmas Gifts’ episode alone, there are at least half a dozen that come to mind: (Deco) * Tray of gingerbread cookies * Handmade chocolates and lollipops * Black Forest cake * Cream and strawberry Santa cake * Christmas tree cupcakes * Red Velvet cupcakes * Frosted gingerbread house * Cherry brioche (Functional - sweets) * Edible box of chocolates * Yule Log * Stollen * Gingerbread cake * Gingerbread cookies which can be decorated (Functional - drinks) * Eggnog * Hot cocoa * Champagne, wine, and cognac So many of these would probably be awesome to use with this build. Since the title mentions that it’s a festive British bakery - believe there are also functional recipes for mincemeat pie and Yorkshire pudding. There might actually be one for Christmas pudding. Know Icemunmun has a plum pudding. And there’s definitely a cc chair shaped like a Christmas pudding by Simbishy, it’s cute.

What a sweet idea 🧁

This build is so adorable! Norma is the cutest, I think she smells like peppermint and baby powder and gives the best hugs lol. Please add her to the HoB save file. Also, Peacemaker is working on walls to match the new flooring so YAY!

I love this idea for using the home chef hustle features, having an indoor selling table! And the build is absolutely adorable. It warmed my heart watching all the sims come in the wintery time!

I love how theres a sad note to the backstory of this wholesome build, it reminds us just how bittersweet life can be

Bless norma and her little cat too! Lovely build and loving how festive it all feels.

This is the absolute sweetest video I’ve ever seen ❤ I love love love Norma! Will she be up on the gallery too?

I looove the jumper!!

This really is such a heartwarming build, I feel like you've really captured the magic of Christmas. I think builds with basic shapes can truly shine depending on how it's presented/decorated, and this has been done so beautifully. Also, did I detect your sim self attending Norma's bakery?

You are so talented! This was such a cozy, charming build. Norma reminds me of my gran, I was already spinning a story before you invited us to do so. I think she married someone a little older than her and he retired from his job with a pension and they started the bakery, which had always been a dream of hers, together in their small town (He was very keen to make her happy.) They are well known in the community and loved their quiet life in the flat upstairs, visited often by their kids and grandkids. He passed not too long ago, maybe 7 years, and she wants to carry on with the business that meant so much to them for as long as she can, with Christmas being an especially fond time for her. She does well and also has the pension for security, so she doesn't feel too pressed. On Christmas eve her family visits and on Christmas morning she makes tea for herself and sets out a cup for her husband, as well, and listens to the snow falling while she snuggles into her chair with the fire going and a warm blanket on her lap so her cat can curl up and nap.

I think she is a widow in her 60's. She has one son who lives in the village with his wife and 2 children. The children like to drop by after school to see their Nana and to have a delicious snack. She is very content in her little apartment and loves having the townfolks dropping in for tea and treats. I want to live there!

Not me getting emotional at Norma sleeping alone in the bed at the end. I need to stop thinking that's a sign of being lonely and sad, haha! 😭

this is beautiful! I cannot wait for let's build the world in henford-on-bagley. Christmas cosy vibes 😍

Peacemaker is working on matching wall tiles from the for rent pack as we speak and they look marvellous!!

Why did i have tears in my eyes watching the lil video at the end ? This is adorable😢. Norma sadly lives on without her husband but she is never lonely with all the locals who come to sit and have a cuppa and enjoy her sweet treats and shares lots of cuddles and love with her cat. Oh this is such a vibe indeed Aden. Such a beautiful British festive and magical build. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Thank you for inspiring me again Devon!!! This is a wonderful build with a wonderful tour afterwards.

This gave me all the warm and fuzzy holiday feels. So appreciate this one.. Great job as always! 💚

This is by far the most cozy and wonderful holiday build video I have seen this season! I want to go to her shop and buy some cakes ❤️

rather than the home chef pack you could just use the retail objects from get to work which actually have bakery items which means you can sell cakes and bread!

Highly recommend White Christmas film. The end always makes me cry. Entertaining movie with music and dance. Daisy is adorable!

Just finished the most stressful uni week of my life. 4 Courseworks over 10 days. Flat is now clean, Gingerbread candle is on and I'm eating some homemade cookies I made for my friends' end-of-term Xmas get together! Happy as ever to have some Aiden to watch 🤗🤗

I just stumbled across this channel and can I just say, I love your vibe. Your videos are very calming and I love your builds.

It’s February, but that truly warmed my icy heart. I’d love to visit Norma’s bakery for tea and a bun.

that video tour hit me right in the feels! what beautiful attention to detail with all the different shots. LOVE NORMA! And her cat.

So refreshing to watch a build that actually works and is playable unlike the cluttered streets and surroundings in the new world. Thank you Aden for keeping it real 👌

I imagine Christmas is an especially magical, but also bitter-sweet time for Norma. As a child she would wait up to see her Father Winter, who is in fact her biological father. Christmas night was the only time she had to spend with him, but despite the distance between them they still had beautiful connection. She has a collection of teddy bears, one for each year of her life, given to her on the one night she shares with her father.

Hello babes. Please don't ever change ❤ always stay your silly , kind hearted and filth self! This build is absolutely adorable and it makes me feel homesick for the UK. Sadly no option to go next year because of other plans but hopefully the year after. There's just something truly magical about those small UK villages and towns. My favorite Christmas movies is The Gremlins, even though it's not even super Christmassy but it's during Christmas and that's good enough for me 😂 I should definitely watch The Holiday again, it's been years and I think I'd enjoy it even more with my more adult eyes. Thank you for this super cozy video. I enjoyed it while eating brunch. Watching your videos is amongst my favorite ways to wake up ❤

I always love your UK inspired builds and so this one is like the others : perfect. It's so cosy and warm and snowy. 🥰 Wish I would visit UK's contryside one day 🤞🤞🤞Winter looks like the perfect time of the year to visit your beautiful country. ❤❄ Also, I like the little story of Norma that you put into your build : the bakery looks alive. 😊

I love Norma. You have inspired me to do a little Holiday save. Chef's kiss with this build.

This is beautiful I love it. I live in Florida so I love the wintery builds . I’ve lived here since 1996 and I miss the snow a lot . The snowy builds make me so happy and gets me into the Christmas spirit. ❤

Aden, I was proud of you for building for this pack so swing away whenever you want :) I built a cafe on this lot a little while ago for my Sims to go hang out and was thinking of decorating it for Christmas. You have inspired me go back and revisit it.

I got so many happy tingly vibes when we got to the video tour - especially when you showed the back of Norma's head and then her knitting from the front - I MELTED. I love this build - and the storyline is absolutely amazing. Happy holidays!

You've outdone yourself yet again, Aden - this is absolutely adorable! I found myself grinning like an idiot while watching the little montage at the end, and I was absolutely here for it. Hope you are well xx

This may well be my favourite build and storyline ever. Norma and her cat are truly living the dream! 👵🏻🐈🧁

The amount of cat content in the tour was a lovely bonus.

I loved this build, here in Brazil is Summer in December, and we never get to see snow (only in July and only in 2 of the 26 states here, in the south), this build made me want to visit a snowy place in the holidays (not gonna happen)... I loved, I think is one of my favorites so far!

I am currently rewatching Desperate Housewives, that is funny that you mention that.😄

This build is so stunning. And I squealed seeing your self sim in the video tour. Such a nice touch!

Oh man, The Holiday is one of my top favorite movies.

Glorious walkthrough♥ Love every detail right down to the swatch choice for Norbert! Thank you for this lovely Christmas gift ♥

This is amazing. I just love your attention to detail and all the little quirky pieces you add. Merry Christmas to you.

just what i needed after a long day of uni!

Sooo cute and cozy!! I love that the Sim version of Aden is shopping for cupcakes at the end of your video!

To make Norma's story less sad, I'm going to say Norbert died of old age, peacefully in his sleep and his last words to Norma were "I love you". Norma's many children and grandchildren visit her often and she gets plenty of company and help from everyone in the community 💙

I am obsessed!! This is my favourite build of yours! So cosy, love the classy decorations and can't wait to download it!

Eeeeee! This gives all the best Christmas, festive, cosy vibes. Thanks!

Absolutely love this build! Really got me in a festive mood😀. Thanks!

Aden, I just simply love this build. It feels so cozy and reminds me of my grandmother. Wishing you happy holidays!

Yesss another video to build to! Can't build without your vids in the background lol, makes me feel creative ❤

Brava!! Enchanting. And your self sim is adorable.

This is such a comfy beautiful bakery 😍

I wish i could live there, it is so cosy and festive! merry christmas, Devon, my fav Sims youtuber.

Soooo cute! Love me a festive anything this time of the year but this was perfect! I can't wait to play with it! Also, why do I feel like I've seen the Lacock Bakery in a Zoe Sugg vlog years ago? Reminds me that I miss you vlogging, Aden! I hope we get to see some of that in 2024 😊

I feel like I just watched a Christmas film!🎄

OMG I just love watching you. You always make me laugh. You are such a joy, love seeing you and I saw the baby in the back in her bed. Merry Christmas🥰🐶🌲

Oh seeing Norma in her house made me think of Beryl! We so need more of her escapades now that For Rent is out. She is the perfect nosy neighbour!

So lovely! Happy Holidays from across the pond.

This makes my heart so happy and helped get me in a festive mood! 🎄🎄🎄 Thank you Aden! ❤

Love your commentary, you never fail to make me laugh! Gorgeous build, Merry Christmas!🎄❤

With your amazing taste , i feel like a christmasy old cathedral would be a perfect Christmas build! ❤️❤️❤️
