to really drive the creepy thing home i would have used the get to work mirror-window item in the hallway, so the wall family could watch the regular family’s comings and goings. love the house though, beautiful!

You could always use the hidden bookshelf door and lock it for everyone but the family in the walls. That way they can sneak out into the main house lol

I need to see James react to you living in the walls of his house. That's just hilarious 😂

We should indeed have a "death by no railing" death in the game. But with that, we should also have a "push down the stairs" option that may or may not result in death depending on the sims strength. Like if your sims physical strength is weak, then the sim won't die. Man. That'd definitely spice up the game a bit more lmao. They keep adding more ways to die anyway, why not?

imagine the youngest sim in the main house making friends with the youngest sim in the hidden house and their parents thinking they just have an imaginary friend

Anyone else think this house and the “hidden family” would make a spicy Let’s Play?

I'd love to see like 5 different iterations of the Hidden Family challenge please! I want people hidden in the walls, in the basement, in the attic, _imagine a family living under the pool_

The Mole people that lived in Jim Pickens’ walls would’ve been lucky to have this much space. They just had hallways with a toilet in them.

I'm so here for Deli's trademark weird and twisty content 😆 She's so kind, light and bright but then surprise she's also a total weirdo. I absolutely love it.

Please do a let’s play with this build! You could incorporate some of the ideas from the comments like the bookshelf door and window from get to work to have a really cool and creepy story line like having the hidden family come out at night and using the main house whilst the others sleep or are at work.

Oooh this reminds me of Parasite! With a family living in secret in the basement of the rich family and scavenging off them.

FakeGamerGirl had a little series that was based on this idea. Bean was one of my favorite characters she created. lol. Bean grew up in the walls. I am so glad you found this fun, too, Deli!

I literally just built a tiny home with a secret speakeasy mobster lounge underground and it was SO FUN. Obviously Deli and I are on the same wavelength 😂

To push it even further, I'd probably build a 1 by 1 passage in the attic, this way you could have a room on the other side of the house too and probably keep everything 2squares large. Or go the easyway and make a secret basement that could go out in the back of the lot, hidden by bushes or something. Or, hear me out, use the new HSY ladders so they can climb down by a "condemned" window.

I feel like the hidden section could be hidden really well in the middle of a set of row houses.

I bet it would be pretty easy to actually hide a secret apartment between two apartments in an apartment building. I mean how many people visit their neighbours enough to ever realize the walls don’t match up?

As a kid I used to think an identical version of my family came out and lived in my house at night. This kinda reminded me of that 😳 This is even more terrifying because sims have to teleport in and then have no way out. Imagine if you just randomly teleported into the walls of this perfect family’s house with no escape 😳

Deli built a better house whilst multitasking and using one hand than I can with two hands and full concentration 😂📱🥕

The "secret" kitchen has a sink, but the main kitchen doesn't! That's interesting 😆

Imagine the main family thinking about doing some renovations, they go to tear down a wall and surprise surprise 😀😅😭🫥

You could make a "coat closet" by the front door thats actually the entrance to the secret rooms - The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe-esque.

At first I thought it would be more of a WW2 situation with a secret space to stay safe. Not a whole family just chilling in between the walls 😂

Deli living in Australia getting excited because it's getting warmer there, me living in Spain loving that it's getting colder here, same energy but different ✨

Such a fun idea, I love secret passageways! I'm getting instant memories of 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' along with the creepy horror movie "The Boy!"

I would wonder how they got that fridge and stove up the ladder, but it also doesn't matter! Maybe a vampire could live in the walls, and they wouldn't need a door at all...

Such a unique idea. I would have incorporated a basement! A good opportunity to add more space for the walls family.

"Hello, is Mole 2 available to talk?" - a reference to/inside joke from Call Me Kevin's Sims 2 videos with people living in the walls.

I love that you use CC :) I can't afford to buy all the packs, and I love being able to pick and choose which CC options to include in my own builds. Thanks for mentioning the table and painting creators! I'll have to check them out ♥️

I'm definitely IN for such an interesting idea xD My first thought was... "Is Deli going to build in the Sims this masterpiece of a house from Parasite movie?" xD And even though I was wrong, maybe this could be a hint for the future, @Deligracy? ;) And I definitely recommend you all to watch this film, it's a marvel!

Imagine walking inside the house and suddenly you hear a toilet flush next to you, sus 😂

I think a good idea for adding passageways for the hidden family is to connect via basement or third floor that the regular house doesn’t have access to. This looks so fun to build I’m definitely going to try this challenge!!

i would loooooove to see your take on maximalism! it's one of my favourite styles and i'd love to see how you pull it off! your style has influenced my builds so much over the years to be cleaner and brighter and more minimal, i'd love to see you do the total opposite! especially with the maximalism kit and those terrazzo counters!

I like when KZfaqrs include the whole process of builds, even if it means including the bulldozing process. I'm definitely one to bulldoze a house if I'm not liking the vibe of it. Very relatable 🙂 Loved this!

If I were living in the hidden space, I would make a national sport of making weird noises to scare the people in the house, and would keep a record of how many families I've scared off enough to move out. It would be so much fun !! 😁

You should make a bookshelf door but lock it so only the wall family can use it. Then they can use the main family's stuff, but they can't ever meet each other, or game over. It would be an interesting challenge where you have to complete a skills based lifetime wish for every wall sim without them ever being caught by the house sims

I reckon a window they can sneak out from of from the high school pack would be good. And a computer and hacking into the wifi would be awesome. The food crossing over fridges is going to be super strange.

I really really love that you use CC in your builds because I always need some inspiration on how to use the CC items and with what 🥰

Munching-carrot-Deli is someone we love, she's adorable, like a squirrel or a bunny 🤗

ohmygosh DELI! this house reminds me of the movie Parasite! it’s a korean (i believe) movie basically kinda based on a couple living in a house without anyone knowing! if you give it a watch it would be cool to maybe see you build that house, it has such a stunning interior and is definitely something you would build!! give it a watch!! it’s SO GOOD 😭

It’s great deli, very Poe-esque. Now you have to put a beating heart under the floorboards.

Putting an easel in the hidden room reminds me of something I read years ago, of someone who always made a 'painting goblin' sim who lived in the family basement and did nothing with their time but paint for the benefit of the main family. This would be the perfect house for that.

for how the family got into the walls maybe you could have a tunnel basement type deal that comes out in the backyard or a shed that's never used.

We need a Let's Play of this twisted household 😆

This was cool, reminds me of something Call Me Kevin might do, in fact, he did, he called people mole people, but I think he did it even in The Sims 2, not The Sims 4, this was not that long ago, but I'm not sure if it was TS2 or TS4, lol! This has inspired me to try to do this too, I have thought about doing this, but I know it will be hard and really time consuming, and I already take hours to finish a normal house, not to mention my Sims! I'm the type of Sim player that likes doing both, playing in CAS and in Build Buy mode, though I think I like CAS a bit more, because I know I'm good at making unusual Sims, my houses are always a hit or miss, sometimes I do well enough that it makes me wonder if I really made it myself, lol! Other times I wish someone else had! I am usually better at changing premade builds from someone else, then starting from scratch!

What about adding one of the secret bookcase doors where the upstairs library wall is? That would give your hidden Sims an entry point and adds a slightly sinister twist to how/why they got in there.

I could watch deli all day, in fact I do often 😂

This is such a creative idea! You are a very inspiring person Deli. Thanks for another excellent video!

This reminds me so much of the movie Parasite!

Wes Craven- The People Under the Stairs is my immediate thought! Lol love Wes (RIP❤️) and love this video! Brings me back to the old videos from Deli that were dark and twisty and fun that I love so much! ❤️

You could have taken your original idea of two separate spots and have them linked via ladders through an attic. The door of perception would be a way to give access to the hidden area.

Kinda off topic but i always like watching other people build and furnish houses because of all the cc they have. As someone who plays on consol and cant get all the fun cc, i always like seeing whats out there.

I shared my room with my older sister for about 10 years and hated. I love having my own room. This build was so fun and cool.

I feel like a basement and an exterior hidden access to the basement would have made this even creepier. The way I think of the "hidden people in the walls" story is kind of building it like crawl spaces and walled up rooms. So like extra rooms in the attic, a room that kind of has a walled off closet and a basement that seems to be walled off. Just pulling from horror movies.

Great build! Well hidden second tiny living space. Now I kinda want to watch you make two families and play the challenge. I’ve seen different players do it differently. Fakegamergirl did it to where the family in the walls isn’t allowed to come out so long as the other family is awake and in the house and she could only play with the family in the walls. The goal was to not get caught being out in the rest of the house by the other family. Another player I saw did it differently. They played the main family instead of the one in the walls and had set it up so that both had jobs, school, etc, so had to leave the house. The challenge would end if his sims during routing to do those things met up with the family in the walls. Another person played it as the family in the walls, but since they had what they needed to survive it was about starting chaos for the other family (starting fires, breaking things, stealing things, etc) and not getting caught in the act. I think the house you built is the best I’ve seen in that from both inside and out it looks like a normal house and the area the in-the-walls family lives doesn’t stand out when looking at the house inside or outside. Some players used the hidden door that looks like a bookcase in their builds, but others used the teleport cheat that you mentioned. Since it’s two families (usually a mom, dad, and two kids [or a teen and a kid] plus another mom, dad, and either one or two kids [or kid and teen] it makes either a challenge to get them all back into the wall without getting caught or not having them route near each other and get caught, etc. It’d be interesting to see you put your own spin on the challenge, too.

Could you imagine the secret family having access to a basement or attic. Maybe your sims find out about the family by seeing one of them staring out the attic window. Or they just think it's a ghost since they "don't have an attic"

I love the idea that the family living in the walls are vampires! That way, the fact that they don't have windows isn't much of an issue!

I feel like you could put a secret basement in for part of it, then a tunnel coming up in the garden shed to get in and out in secret. You'd have to lock the main house doors to the secret family sims, and the secret doors would have to be locked to the main house sims. The only time you hear anything through a wall in the sims is in City Living apartments. They're very sound proof.

I’ve been in a sims slump and watching you + finding you had really pulled me out!! Thank you Deli!! Can’t believe what I’ve been missing!

2:42 this is why I love Deli

This idea is next level!! I love it and it definitely grabbed my attention! ❤️❤️

"Man, it really looks a lot bigger from the outside haha"

Love this build and the creepy add to it. Can you do a craftsman family home autumn coloured.

Loved this idea, so much possibility for intrigue!

A cool thing you could’ve added was put a few little dog doors and hide them behind things like a plant pot, a table, a mirror, at the back of a closet etc. and the family would sneak through them when everyone went out

I do have a few pitches for the family hidden in the walls. You wanna know what's creepier than a person or people living inside your walls? The same people sneaking into your house while you aren't there or sleeping. I would add a few bookshelf doors to the hallways inside the wall that the wall people can get through, and have them be locked for everyone except the wall people. Secondly don't give the wall people showers, toilets, a fridge or electricity. You want the wall people to sneak in to the regular peoples rooms to make things extra creepy. All you need is a uncomfortable sleeping place, after all you do want the wall people to not be found out. Thirdly, add those police mirror windows. Where the normal family just assumes they are mirrors while the wall people can creepily watch them. Especially add those mirror windows in private areas like the bathroom or bedrooms. Fourthly, you build a creepy underground maze! This will give you more latters you can use to get into spots inside the walls above, but the maze does make navigating it a bit tricky. And your wallperson might take too long to get where he needs to be, and the house people return from work before they make it! Fifthly, congratulations! You have created a incredibly creepy scenario. But uh oh, if the normal family spots you they don't react whatsoever to a person coming out of your wall! But do not fear, I do have the solution. Pick between either making the wall people werewolves or vampires. If you pick werewolves finish the lone wolf aspiration, and whenever you leave the walls remember to transform first. This will make the house people frightened and pass out at the sight of you. If you go with the Vampire you won't scare the sims really, but you will be playing a parasite living in their walls, sneaking out to feed on them at night.

I'd like to see more build videos from you, Deli, and it's always fun with a twist like this😄

This is super inventive and awesome! I would have never thought of something like this but it's really cool idea!

This should take place of the high school years LP as the new LP!!! It would be SO fun to see you play through this

You should totally do a gameplay with this house where a vampire or something like that live in the walls and then a “normal” family moves in because they think it’s a normal place but then a lot of wired stuff will happen 😃

Could you upload the house to the gallery? I genuinely liked it. It's so beautiful ^-^

AYAY new Deli video!!! can't wait! you brighten up life Deli

Even though it took multiple tries, thank you for finishing this build! It's really cool!

i feel like this would make a great idea to build two town homes and in between is the walls family space. because to me it seemsthat the outside is clearly space you could visually tell is missing in your house. especially as a new modern home it feels like you'd tell that the outside of the house and the inside layout doesn't match if that makes sense.

With my sims, the wall family would start a fire within the first five minutes and then die because they can't escape and just scream at the fire instead of extinguishing it....

I think it'd be so cool if there were underground tunnels in the Sims so you could build under the house as well and the entrance leads out to another lot

Recently you’ve been asking us tings we want to see in the sims and you reminded me today, I forgot to say we need a curtain rod, just a rod, with no curtain. What happens to me a lot is I’ll put two matching curtains on either side and then there’s empty space between the rods. It’s not a huge deal, but I feel like it would be a simple item that would add a lot of realism to the game.

It’s an awesome idea and an awesome build! But I would add a basement leading to the secret room. And maybe even a secret entrance to the basement, hidden under the bush or under a little hill.

One of my favourite videos, hope you can make another one with the same twist

Hair is pretty, build is pretty, concept is amazing, carrot gnawing is approved buuuut I'm a lil' sad you got into the MCU at their lowest... story-wise and cg-wise and stuff. This way of blending CC is very thoughtful, I mean, you've always been like that, but it's really nice how you make sure the CC are minimal and within the same creators so it's easier to get or easier to change if need be.

I would LOVE to see you play with this house!! It looks great

It's starting to cool down here in Canada, and I'm so excited! 😁

Excited about this video! Go Deli!!!

I think this would be a cool lp idea! Playing two families, one in the walls and the other main one. Or maybe just there is a random sim living in the walls while there is a family home?

I love that you did the face camera after all, showing the real deal haha :D

i’ve found the best way to put curtains when it’s snapping to the window weirdly is to place the curtain first then the window after 😊

A bookcase door somewhere on the wall to the hidden area, would be a great way to make sure they can still get in and out (just need to make sure to lock that door for the actual household members though)

Hi just wanted to send you some kind words and say I appreciate your content. ❤️ please keep creating

i love this one this is so funny such a creative idea

Its COOLING OFF here in Chicago and I'm SO EXCITED!! I love fall!

I never thought I’d like corrugated iron walls! But that looks fantastic. I’m secretly relieved that I’m not the only person with an umm “interesting” imagination. Family in the walls is wonderfully warped! Lol

If Deli didn’t post instagram stories of herself outside all the time I’d be a little concerned about her living situation with James. 😆 Great idea for a vid! So unique and fun.

I remember seeing fgg make a video like this and thought the concept was cool! Then deligracy made one too?! Yesss!

I'd love to see you play in this house with people in the walls

Imagine your kid tells you they're hearing people in the walls and you just brush it off as their overactive imagination.

Helloo have a wonderful day and enjoy Delis video💕

It's starting to cool down here in the northern US! I looooove fall so I'm excited

I love this concept!

Deli, you are the best simmer by far! You and your videos are so feel-good.

OMG what an idea !!! I love this!! You’ve inspired me to make a creepy family !!!

im loving the "unusual" building videos yaaaas
