"I'm gonna make a care center for elderly!" Aweeee! "With a funeral home cause two birds one stone" I oop..

Thank you for being vulnerable with us, Jess. We know the healing process takes time, but we're here for you as much as fans can be. Hope you're doing better today than you felt yesterday and that your support network can give you any amount of love that you need.

I love how you just started throwing platforms and extra steps near the door for the elderly to contend with haha

i wish i could give you some comforting words, grief is a weird thing. i lost a child in 2021 and welcomed another in 2022 and its such a weird experience. idk how to describe it. its like im still waiting to miscarry her even though shes almost 9 months old. it never ends, im sorry.

one thing about Jesse is that she will always be an advocate for elder rights in the sims

Bonehilda as the community maid 😂

If you add a nursery it could be a birth to death center ❤

I also lost my brother in 2021. He was only 34. I agree it has fucked me up. I'm in therapy but the world often just doesn't make sense without him.

Don’t apologise for getting upset, you have every right to. We are here for you, we care about you. ❤

TW: Death I totally understand where you’re coming from. My cousin who help raise me the first few years of my life passed away last year and I still get so emotional about it at the mention of hospitals or other things that remind me of her. I don’t think I will ever be fully over it because it was all very traumatic and sudden. But sending you lots of love. We got this! We honor their memory everyday with the things we do.

fr this was the PERFECT pack to bring more elder gameplay in, bet they'll release a seperate elders pack at some point to get more money from us (e.g. most infant gameplay being in the pack)

I'm a rotation player so I put household of 8 elders into a "elder care home" I built, used the roommate feature to fill out the rest of the empty bedrooms and aged up the roomates I didn't want to look like care takers and hired a maid, a butler and garden services to take care of them, I had a mod which let me change the uniforms of service workers to fit with the other 'service workers' (i cant remember where I got it and I can't find it anymore) and poof, it was pretty functional with enough imagination if you pretend the bills are for the combined rental home and I'm telling you it was scandalous. I had em throw raves, master skills, fall in love, Don was elderly and still trying to get with the ladies, it was one of the most fun households I played with

I'm with you on sexual content in shows usually adding nothing tbh. Also, totally normal to feel messed up over losing someone essential to your upbringing, this would probably trigger me too...although I'd probably dissociate lol

Agreed with raunchy crap on shows. I cannot watch them because I get a fully physical anxious reaction. No idea why. Also yes to the grief part. It’s expected to take a long time with it, don’t get upset at yourself for not processing things quickly or well. I’m 27 and still processing deaths from my middle school years. Take it easy on yourself ❤️

I obviously don’t know you but thanks for being real about your grief. It makes those of us who have been through or are currently going through our own grieving feel a bit less alone. ❤

It might be a bit morbid, but it’s also EFFICIENT. There’s a funeral home right across the street from an elder care facility in my city, you’re just one step ahead of the curve

Why does EA think we don't love Nana and Peepop and want to build them a world too? So silly.

ooh if they did an elderly pack they could add some assistance devices like the chair lift for stairs or walkers (and ofc put a plainer walker/cane/etc one in base game for disability rep stuff like the hearing aids), and maybe some cute family heirlooms like photo albums and family recipe cards

There is a way to have a funeral kinda! When the Sim dies, put their gravestone in your sim's personal inventory, then you can place down a podium. If the active sim with the gravestone in their inventory is in a sad mood they can give a touching eulogy by clicking on the gravestone in their possession. Edit- Only one sim can give a eulogy, passing the urn from sim to sim does not count unless you want to place down individual podiums for some reason.

“2 years ago….. in 2015.” Me too bestie. I told my old best friend who I haven’t seen in 9 years (because of moving countries.) that it had only been 5 years 😭

I have severe social anxiety but plumbella would be the kind of person I would like to hang out with Love from 🇧🇷

Morbid efficiency, love it.

I lost my Mum in October of 2020, thanks for being open with us about the realities of your grief. I found your content in March of 2020 and it's been such a comfort to me through the past 3 years, thanks Jesse ❤

On the funeral home; and to lighten the mood: the elderly sim who spent their life getting their mischief to the maximum level will scare the other sims under full autonomy! 😂🎉 ❤❤❤

My cousin who was my first friend, she died when we were 25. I'm just about to turn 40, and I still can't think about her without crying. We spoke together before I could talk, I remember it so clearly. I'll always wish I could talk to her again. It really does fuck you up, I'm sorry.

This does remind me how much I miss that bingo game they had in the Sims 2, oh how I would love to make a Mecca bingo hall in the Sims!

Can honestly say I never expected to cry during a Plumbella build video, but here we are. Lost my dad in 2020, and yeah... the perspective shift when we lose someone so close is just wild. Love you ma'am!

this build reminded me of the iconic lady in my grandma's nursing home that was playing the sims in her room every time i visited

As interesting as I think funerals/funeral homes would be it may be hard to implement as not every culture handles death and passing the same way. Most likely would be something EA would have to workshop. Anyways, please give us the elder sim content we need Jesse 😢

This touched on something that I don’t think is discussed very often - how this game can have a big impact on how we process trauma and life changes. I really appreciate you sharing with us and stepping away from the camera to finish the build. This was an incredible build!!

Oh man, my best friend passed when I was 20 and at 30, sometimes it's still overwhelming, but I grew around it. There's no timeline on grief, it'll be there and man, I feeeel this because that guy was like a brother to me, coming to Christmases and shit and it's suuuuucks so fckingmuch. ❤

I feel your pain!! My dad passed this last November and it’s been a whirlwind. The healing will take as long as it takes. Much love to you 💕

I appreciate your vulnerability about grief and death. It’s so often such an isolating experience, but it’s so human to mourn. I lost a friend in 2021, then a cousin, and then a caregiver in 2022. My brain is still trying to reconcile all my experiences of death, and I can only imagine the loss of a (chosen/found) family member ❤️‍🩹 I hope your healing journey eases you ❤️‍🩹

I feel like jess’s builds are underrated

"the new pack ignored elders so I'm building them a care home". Yay 😃, now we can ignore them too.

this makes me want to make a sim who owns a care home and takes care of the elders from other families I've made in that save :o love the build and thanks for the idea lol

Grief always hits you when you least expect it, wishing you the best dealing with that. Love ya, hen

Thank you for building this despite your meltdown, and also thank you for showing real emotions on social media. I hope you are a bit better now, sending you lots of love ❤

It would be so funny if an Elder Vampire sim just moved in and started living in that coffin And then they had a nurse to be like "why do you sleep here?" And they just answered "I like the drama of a funeral home"

I'd love an elder pack with retirement homes/villages and the like! I really hope they do this someday. I don't know how they'd ever sell it, but I love the idea of having funerals, wills, maybe some choice in disposition of remains (more than just outside for a tombstone, inside for an urn), official graveyard lot types, etc. Death and grieving are such a huge part of life, and I think the Sims can be a really nice way to process difficult emotions through storytelling.

Thank you Jess, for making me laugh while also showing me that mental health is a bitch to others too, not just me

Jesse is the advocate for everyone being discriminated about whether your an infant or an elder

I wish you the absolute best vibes on your healing, it's different for everyone so it's okay to go at your own pace. The community that you've built are so proud of you and how far you've come💕

We're not gonna get funerals unless they're willing to give them as much detail as weddings in the wedding pack because every culture's ceremonies are different, and recently Sims tries to have a more global appeal. Same as they're not gonna give us elders that feel like real life old people unless they introduce diseases and disabilities properly.

i have the exact same opinion about woohoo in movies and tv shows and i’m not ace! for me it’s just always made me feel really weird when watching with anyone else. it makes me feel like i’m watching porn with someone, which feels weirdly intimate so i fast forward as soon as they even THINK about giving on screen bedroom eyes!

I made a funeral home wedding venue for my occult sims/ghosty sims once, and I can attest to the **trauma** it put me through. Took me several sessions to finish thanks to those lovely thoughts. Love your build!

This video makes me wish that @AskaMortician would build a funeral home in the Sims.

I love everything about this. I just really need elders to be able to live their best lives so I can do a Grace and Frankie themed lets play...

I love this build!!!!!!! Elevators are the only thing that could’ve been added to make this even more perfect imo

Lol Maxis treats elders like the games bugs, they pretend they don't see it

You're working through it in your own way and it takes time. Never feel bad about how you process your grief because it will always be unique to you. I lost my dad last year and I understand the feeling of losing someone you had such a close bond with, the world really does feel different without them in it. I still pick up the phone to call him and it's such a weird realization like oh wait he's not here, every single time. You're doing your best and that's all you can do, and it will be good enough. We love you 💛

Babe, don’t feel the need to apologize for getting emotional. I appreciate that you kept that bit in the video. It made me feel seen. I’m starting to believe there is no processing of grief. It just comes and goes. Some days you hardly feel it and some days you can’t feel anything else. But every day you try your best to live in a way your loved one would be proud of 💗

My local funeral home is pink. somehow, it works. inside, there are rooms with pink and purple spring blossoms. I dunno, its kind pretty.

I feel the same @ raunchy scenes in Game of Thrones. I got to where I just skipped through the unnecessary stuff. The first 4 seasons or so are pretty bad about it and then it actually dies down a bit. So if you can, try to get through it because the story (up until Season 8) is fantastic and worth the watch. :) Great build, poor Elders always get the short end.

Thank you for sharing about the relative you lost babes! Grief is a process and honestly the Sims isnt a weird way to deal with that kinda stuff since its a life simulator.^_^

Thanks for taking a moment to acknowledge this part of life, Jesse and sharing with us. It can be hard for some of us 🙋🏻‍♀️ to process our feelings, especially the complex and painful ones and being vulnerable can be scary. Sending love ❤. Btw you did an amazing job with the landscaping and roofing, etc.

I really want to hug Jess right now!!! I’m so sorry you lost your close friend and cousin ❤

The funeral home section is actually really beautiful. As someone whose religion’s funerals are basically the complete opposite of the ‘typical’ funeral home experience, personally I find it weirdly healing in a way to imagine a calmer, proper funeral for someone I’ve lost. There are some things about my religion’s grieving process which are good, but some that I really disagree with, and the way funerals are handled is one of them. This for some reason made me emotional to watch but thank you 😂

Never apologise for your grief. I lost my mum in 2013 and I still have days when it hits me just how much I miss her.

You should do a create a sim of the elders that live in the nursing home.

I absolutely love the build! Sending you much love for your grief. No need to apologize for it; losing a loved one is never easy. ❤

The way you're dealing with loss resonated with me so much.

this was a really beautiful tribute especially the quiet part. I found myself reflecting on life & friends & family

So off topic but as someone who watched the last seasons of GoT live with my dad i would sigh the biggest sigh of relief when the warnings didn’t include very strong sexual content or whatever the wording was

Coming from an American Long Term Care Nurse, this is actually the exact audio from building LTC facilities here lmao. They care and want them to have the world ❤

I built a retirement villa that I use in my legacy game and it’s “run” by a vampire I made and maxed out. The story is that Winter (the vampire) and the first matriarch were absolutely best friends and winter promised to look after the family for generations to come.

A care home probably don't have elevated floors here and there, because some of the elderly are using staff or even on a wheelchair to move, but this is a reaaly good home care build.

They should definitely do an expansion or game pack focused around care/nursing homes. They could also add a new career path for your sim to be a carer just give elder sims some more gameplay elements and interactions.

I'm a nurse and I started in geriatrics!! I love my old folks so much 😂❤️

I love your builds and your personality. I look forward to seeing your videos. Meltdowns are normal. I think we all have that loss in life that changes us, mine was in 2021. Grief is a journey not a destination and you dont ever heal from it you just live a but differently as time goes on. ❤

such a beautiful build! there is so much love and effort put into it. you are such a kind, gentle soul

I love your attitude and just everything 😂 the fact you were vulnerable with telling us something like that, you’d think I’d be more heartbroken 😢 but the way you said it made me laugh so hard 😂

I feel the same way about "woohoo". Ive realized people are usually really narsty 😫😫 and im unusual

This is amazing! I can't wait to download it. Thank you for always just being yourself.

It is stunning! You're my favorite youtuber and I love it when you talk about yourself. I am also having difficulty grieving people atm and seeing this validated me. Much love xoxo

sending my love❤ thank you for bringing us great content and a glimpse into your life all at the same time

took me years to even scratch the surface of healing from my grief trauma. it takes time and healing isn't linear. wishing you the best 💖

My autistic brain has never related more to the statement “this makes sense to ME, whether it actually makes sense I don’t know” - 1:35

Loving all these building videos lately - both inspiring and chaotic

Definitely need some chess tables and some painting spots.

as far as grieving goes, i find sims quite a therapeutic outlet as it allows me to “live” life until it seems a little less impossible in the real world without them

Wonderful built bless you for being so raw, wish you well in the future thank you for sharing so much of yourself in your builds…..you are amazing ❤ your builds are amazing ❤

I always love your builds, but lately they’ve been even better my goddd ❤❤❤❤

i appreciate you talking about your experience with grief, i lost my great aunt last year and even though i didn't know her that well (i was adopted in my late teens and i rarely ever got to see her anyway), she was a wonderful person and i still struggle with her passing. i've kept the small little pack of tissues i got at her funeral and i don't think i'll ever get rid of it, it's one of the few things i've got left of her and i also haven't worn my formal pants since then either. everyone grieves at their own pace in their own way and it's nice to hear other people talk about their experiences because it helps me personally feel less alone

I've lost a few friends across this last year, the closest of which when this video first came out. it was both overwhelming and very comforting to see you first making a funeral home and then reprocessing the same grief I was having. It's certainly not a fun experience, but I thank you for being public and honest about your experience with losing them. much love xx

I remember in the GT trailer I thought the part with the girl and her grandfather(?) were doing a puzzle I thought they were in a senior citizen home so I was surprised that those weren’t included

Well done! I love this and appreciate you working thru the uncomfy bits xxx

I feel so seen when you were talking about woohoo scenes in GoT. I completely agree and have always said it. One thing about me, I really do not enjoying woohoo scenes in shows

I love this build and definitely want to play with it! ❤ Thank you, especially, for being vulnerable with us. My grandma passed 3 weeks ago and it's comforting to know I'm not alone in grief or in how I react to things.

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤ Thank you for being you, your videos have made me laugh on some of my hardest days. Wishing you all the best and I hope tomorrow will be easier. Hugs xx

I understand getting upset while building this, I lost my nana at the end of 2022 and even watching this has sent me spiraling again. Double whammy cos she passed away in a care home. Can't imagine what you felt while building. Lots of love ❤

I’m sorry for your loss, we are here for you. 💗

I'm so sorry for your loss. One of my best friends died unexpectedly in 2017, and I'm still not over it. It's just hard.

I definitely relate to picking a favourite version of myself to win games against myself

Only Jessie can build a funeral home next to an elderly care home.. God's waiting room?

fellow ace here, i felt your mini rant about rudy tudy scenes in the depths of my soul😭 truly there are so many stories I want to consume but they’re too ❌ for me to be comfortable watching them especially when those scenes will come out of nowhere

Can totally relate to the meltdown. Am going thru a family crisis right now, and I never know when I'll have a sudden crying jag. Fun! My only note is that senior living communities would never have platforms/level changes in them. Ramps yes, random step up, no. Too many people using walkers... It's all smooth floors and elevators, with stairs for the spry ones. My Mom lives in one, so I'm there all the time. Beautiful build though, really handsome structure. And I agree with you on Game Of Thrones. No need for all of the on-screen Woohoo. Ugh.

i went through the exact same thing with my cousin and it was oddly comforting to know i'm not alone x i hope you're doing okay

Hey hen! So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. The timing of this build is so serendipitous for me because I just lost my grandma. Funny how things go like that!

i was watching this like oh this will be a great time and then you got to the funeral home and i started sobbing because i've just lost my grandparents and uncle and cat and so yes i feel the trauma too but it came out so nice and i am also fine but not okay xxx
