As harsh as the lighting is, I do like the dark morning light. Feels like nostalgic school mornings waiting for the bus
what a life, to be picked up by a bus every morning to go to school. in my country we all had to bike for at least 30 minutes 🥲🇳🇱
@@milouiscool
And in mine it depended (still depends for those who are currently school-age) on how far from the school you live (the cutoff is lower for the youngest kids), and whether there’s a safe road to walk/bike all the way to school. A couple of my classmates took the bus even though they lived just under 4 km away because the speed limit was (still is) 80 km/h most of the way, and anything over 50 km/h is considered unsafe for school kids.
@@milouiscool they banned bikes and walking in my country. we all had to crawl for 8 days
@@ragnkja yeah it definitely depends. I lived far from my school, sometimes I took the public bus but other times I had a school bus. Definitely preferred the school bus though because for the public bus, I had to wake up at 5am and take 2 buses 😭
also a ton of modders make shaders for harsh light so it's quite a popular trend with people like simlicy, who has harsh shadows as a default!
i love watching kayla’s builds like a podcast while i’m making my lunch.
I always like listening to them when I'm cleaning and baking.
her voice is so comforting
Her streams- literally like a podcast. I watch them back on her moresimsie channel
She used to do actual podcasts but i have no idea why she stopped them
Fr i always watch her when i’m about to sleep
I built a house and furnished/decorated every room based off pinterest (like I literally searched 'kitchen' on pinterest and then tried to match the results that came up first or most often). I'd love to see Kayla try this too! Might inspire her to move away from her standard furniture picks :P
I'm gonna have to try this!
That sounds so fun good idea!!
That’s such a good idea!!!
oh my goshh i love thisss
Me: Ugh I don’t feel like building
Simsie: *posts*
Me: *sudden motivation to build*
FRR THO😭
FRRR😭😭😭
I started watching her videos again after how many months and I'm slowly getting out of my building slump- I'd be like "oooooh thats a nice trick"
I'm the same way. I've been playing one of my other games a lot recently and she uploads a building video that makes me wanna build. Last time it happened sims was taking so long to update that I stopped being in the mood to build and went and played my other game xD i still haven't check to see if it fully updated
Frrrr
New drinking game: Take a shot every time simisie says “That might be nice”
why did i even read that in her voice
I would try this, but I don't want to die
No thanks I chose life!!
I’m not trying to be hospitalized today, but nice try lol
"That looks fun"
"Do you think that looks okay?"
"What if we did this?"
kayla desperately trying to match the teens’ decor when practically one of the hallmarks of being a teenager is having No Cohesion At All between the furniture in your room
(tiktok influencer teens do not count as real teenagers kdhdkdkd)
“How can I fit four bedrooms” says Kayla as she creates a yard the same size as the house.
Have you made a house with a basement recently? I feel like I don’t use them enough, but I think they have a lot of potential for fun family rooms!
She never uses basements she might have one build that's like that but I'm not sure since she's in the area where basements aren't a thing
@@animekpopdancer1394 yeah, Florida is most definitely not a basement place. Gives me an idea for an 8 sim household, though.
nO
Kayak checklist:
Same wood flooring ✔️
Same kitchen counters ✔️
Postcard board ✔️
Chimney ✔️
Planter boxes ✔️
THE front door ✔️
Windows with shutters ✔️
yes and we are TIRED
you forgot the couch, is always the same too
this build reminds me of the house from up 😂
sometimes i think kayla is allergic to third floors
Lol I did t notice that, I barely use third floors in the game too. I think she may also be allergic to dining rooms
@@haytoo She has done dining rooms loads of times or dining corners?
And basements, could do basement rooms
3 story homes other than counting a basement are so unrealistic and harder to look normal.
@@noitsbecky.4291 You’re definitely not from the UK 😂😂 Three floor homes are normal here and basements are rare and reserved for the super wealthy
I liked the couch from the pack. I hate that we always go back to the base game standard couch. It's so boring!
Yey 😭
Thank you😭😭 she never branches out from her usual style
we?
I keep thinking that the couch matched perfectly and even if it didn’t, you can still find a way to tie it all together. Am I the only one who thinks this???
Not at all. I often find Simsie puts something down that is PERFECT for the room (Color compliments rather than matches completely) and then she says its "A bit much" and goes for something different and a lot more neutral/basic. I feel like she really could just go with her first gut instinct and make things really pop but doubts herself too much to stick with it.
YES LITERALLY IT MADE ME SO FRUSTRATED
i thought the yellow chair and pink-ish clutter in the dark room worked well. it’s like a less obvious color combination but really cute imo
You don't have to have a fireplace to have a chimney. Furnaces, boilers, and wood pellet stoves all require chimneys for venting of exhaust/smoke. And quite often furnaces, boilers, and wood pellet stoves are placed in basements.
Bro chill
@@Wowzrz I don't think they are not chill lol
And it’s also normal to build the house first and maybe add a fireplace later, and in that case it’s _really_ useful to already have the chimney.
Well then you would need a basement. It would be weird to say there’s a furnace in the basement and then not have a basement. But also, if you have a place a fireplace could technically go then you can just pretend there used to be a fireplace but it got boarded up.
its literally the sims💀💀its not hurting you broski
Simsie: I wanna make a big house. Actual simsie: makes a small house to cram sims into
All jokes aside, Simsie really is one of the better family suburban homes builder in this game
She should be hired to make suburbans for for packs 😂
Yes.
It feels like her builds are the only ones that are actually “family friendly” in terms of using them to play in
I can never make homes like this and it bugs me. I want some suburb normal cute house and end up with modern block
Correction☝🏼
She IS the best😅
Simsie: oo I can use this new item!! It's so cute!!
2 seconds later: no, no, no, I can't do it. I must use the base game item I love instead
Literally every time it makes me want to cry
Build challenge. A house where the only neutral items allowed are Windows, Doors, electronics. Everything else has to be colorful.
You can call it "the rainbow challenge" or something like that
what do you mean by neutral items?
@@skullsckull No black, white ,gray, or beige. So you want a fridge. Make it red.
@@emmetlover206 oo okk
I really wished Kayla would have used different windows for once 😩
And a different front door 😆 I know it's her favorite but she uses it constantly and also I hate it lol
me too
and a different floor! I love her builds but that floor swatch she uses looks soooo plasticky. It reminds me of those linoleum fake wood floors. There are better wood floor swatches in the BG even.
@@leggie1126 YES, i hate that floor 😂 she also tends to use a certain bathroom tile that i hate a lot as well
please use nice items that u dont usually use
i hate that flooring and couch and wall paint please kayla
Kayla's favorite front door is my least favorite! It has such a tiny weird knob vs other doors and its color swatch makes it look so odd haha. I wish it was slightly bigger!
I also just think it looks weird. I’ve never seen a door like that.
it feels like i've watched kayla build this exact house over a thousand times
and i love it everytime
I was so excited when she started with the new door, but helaas....
Ouch.
@@demeter3x3 pindakaas
A realistic way to fit more stuff into small lots like that would be basements. I know Simsie is from Florida where they don't really do basements much, but most of the rest of North America has them. I lived in a small house in middle school that was a bungalow with a basement. My parents and baby brother had bedrooms on the main floor, and the basement had an office, a laundry room, and my bedroom. The house I lived in in highschool was bigger, with three bedrooms on the top floor, but still had a fair sized basement, with a room that could have easily been converted into another bedroom if needed.
Outside the US it’s also more normal not to have a ‘yard’ the same size as the actual house. Like that yard is huge and not necessary.
Basements are a total novelty for me, we don’t really have them in the UK. Some old townhouses do have basements, but they’re not properly underground, there are usually steps going down from street level on the outside too so they have windows (even though there wouldn’t be a great deal of natural light) and their own exterior door, in the past they would’ve been used as servants’ quarters.
Simsie really needs to challenge herself to build a multi floor house... do it 3-4-5 or heck even 6 floors... Doing a 2 floor house that's tiny but fits 100 people, might as well make it 3 floors you know... give you the space you need without having to cramp everything.
I thought it only went up to 4 floors omg :0
@@jadealexis9605 well... its 4 up and 2 down, so 6 in total... I know she never builds basements, so I think that'd be good if she did it from time to time as a challenge.
Kayla I beg : please use different wooden floors from time to time! x
"Escape out of" is super accurate though. I put one in my teen werewolf's room without thinking, locked the door when she started raging, and out the window like an overhyper husky she went
"Overhyper husky"😂😂😂love that
i am begging kayla to use a different floor swatch
Sims is is getting sponsored more and more. It makes me feel so proud
Simsie
it was probably autocorrect
Her last name is Sims so this works too lol
kayla, two words: basement bedrooms.
Always the windows with shutters😂
I would LOVE to see a different front door. Please.. 🥲🥲
I haven’t played The Sims in years, but a few years ago I started watching LilSimsie, Plumbella and James Turner build houses. I stayed watching LilSimsie for her personality and her great builds and challenges. I like to watch after a long work day or while I’m cooking or something. I guess it’s her consistency and the happiness / joy she spreads :) (Oh, I almost never comment, but Kayla deserved one after years!)
I feel this size house would have a finished basement,or attic with a bedroom and bath.
Simsie when the update came out: This flooring is really pretty, I'll use this in like every build.
Also simsie: never uses the flooring:
Started rolling my eyes when she changed the door and the windows from the new ones to the same exact ones she uses on every single build
and when she changed the couch to the same peach colored base game one lmao
what? you don’t stick to a comfort zone? why is it a crime for her to stay in her comfort zone? she’s even aware that she uses the same stuff all the time.
@@maxx207 I don't force myself to use things I don't like, but she really uses such a crazy limited range of items. She can do whatever she wants, but constantly sticking to the same items makes her houses look too similar to each other.
Same and the couch
@@maxx207 she’s playing a game not changing her life
there’s tons of houses that have chimneys but the fireplaces have been filled in, so it’s actually realistic to have a chimney without a fireplace. the house i grew up in just had a huge weird column where the fireplace used to be
simsies vids always come out at night for me due to time zones, i normally watch them in the morning buuut i couldn't resist😂😭
I always watch them as my bedtimw storie :)
same
that's what i do! it's currently half 11 at night and i'm binge watching simsie
@@jasminlucas2226 I watch while getting ready for bed. I’m in the UK so it’s also half 11 for me 😂
@@arielsnizz same I am in UK, sometimes it comes between 8 and 11:30 and usually I get to sleep early (my health can't let me stay up late) and I watch it in the morning
I liked the windows from the pack better 😭😭
Why not add a basement? You could fit at least two bedrooms!
Me watching kayla furnish the first bedroom: whispers, "Kayla.... bunk bed.."
I love Kayla however I wish she would just Branch out more instead of using the same stuff over and over again she doesn't explore just builds blue suburbans all the time...
If I see those blue base game counters and striped bed one more time…
The bed with the “uncomfortable” attribute? I feel like its only function in the game is to be upgraded as soon as possible.
@@ragnkja lmao right! these base game, low budget builds are getting tired
if the sim with the black and white room was a real person they would’ve for sure had the typewriter
Also!! This house would be great with a basement laundry room
hi kayla! if i remember correctly you once did a 70s and 90s inspired home, i would love to see other decade inspired builds :)
Oh, I played Family Island a lot when I was nursing my newborn. It's adorable and I love the family interactions. I kinda miss it but I don't have too much time anymore and I try to minimize the things I do in my free time.
Also I loved to see your floorplan struggles, not in a mean way, just because it reassures me that im not the only one struggling with it sometimes.
I love watching your builds... I am just curious... Have you ever designed a house where the outside of the house follows the function of the inside? So instead of building the shell first, you build the interior spaces and that determines the outer shape? I know you aren't much for modern/contemporary builds, but it can be a fun way challenge yourself to think inside out instead of outside in. Keep up the fun content!
I know she was talking about an add and the sims and stuff, but hearing her say "I know you and i are pretty similar!" really put a smile on my face. Thank you Kayla, for always putting a smile on my face.
I wish this had been a bit more cluttered!
You should build a BIG family home with a bedroom in the basement
You used the exact same bed and rug swatches (last teen room with the flower bed) that I just did for my sim yesterday! Neat. Great build!
I am absolutely in love with this house! The colours, the furniture, the design, gorgeous!
I like that she kept the ad mentions towards the end (more lasting impact if the idea is planted within a few minute span before you leave the video) 🥰 I’m glad Kayla is getting sponsored more, recently!
14:14 simsie: * uses all black in the one room *
Also simsie: "That kinda matches"
How are you so good at budgeting?! All my houses turn out to be like $200,000 and i can’t stop myself from spendinggg!!!
For real I’m doing a legacy challenge and I keep running out of money but currently my house is worth 50,000 and I’m no where near done (I still need 1 more bedroom and dining room)
i think it comes down to clutter; i fill up every inch of my houses and add plants and clutter and decorations and art EVERYWHERE, whereas simsie leaves a wall or side table blank
By using the cheaper objects and checking the lot value throughout building? It’s pretty easy.
I could never I'd like to use custom content that's why most of my builds are undownloadable
I feel like I have seen Kayla build this at least 100 times
wow i really love the black and brown teen bedroom. it’s definitely something i’d have irl. this build was really satisfying to watch!
Love that she is worried ab the lot not being big enough but makes the house only half of the lot lol and then stresses ab the house being too small 😭
The black and white room looked like they wanted to be emo but they’re mom picked they’re “emo” room
"they're" means "they are"
the word you're looking for is "their" (a pronoun)
@@MichaelCS146 ook nice to know
I love a good suburban build, I can never build something without being over 100k in the sims 😅😂
I built a house for my sims recently and it costs so much that they had to take a 20 k loan 😂
@@malami4891 Bestie-😅😅😅
Whose gonna tell ‘em?
same!!! i’m really trying to make them cheaper but i just- i cannot.
Thank you so much for this build. I needed a big house for my family
I like it that you‘re less negative/ self critical in this video :) keep going!
You should totally make a gothic castle type house one day pls
Simsie tries to make a small home but wants to put almost as many bathrooms as there are bedrooms in the house, not to mention make them on suite.
Generally the first time i actually liked the ad from a CZcams video. Its a fun game iwl
I love watching your building videos while building in the sims myself, your videos give me so much inspiration and they really help motivate me to be better bc I'd like to be as good as you at building 🥰🥰
Fitting 4 bedrooms into that size lot is really easy if you’re not used to having a massively spacious house! There’s always the option of a third floor too!
I was in the middle of building and got the alarm saying you posted to the gallery and I checked it out, it's super cute
This house is ridiculously cute, plus the lighting on the evening mode, SOO COZY
this house is SO CUTE. building with restrictions is fun, but building without makes really pretty decor.
i love to listen to her as i work or play , i m 3d modelling and she really motivates , relaxes and inspires me. She is very positive and one REALLY needs this energy some days :)) very antidepressant content , simsie. some days , you re my hero .
Your videoes are so calming to watch
I looovveee the black and white teen bedroom, definitely my fav especially the bed ❤️❤️
Kayla is the background sound of my day to day. When I clean and work I listen to music. When I eat, am bored, or play the sims I listen to lilsimsie videos.
I just watched your Reno of the goth’s house from two years ago, now that we have round walls could you Reno it again? I’d really love to see those octagon rooms get replaced by actual round walls
I love you and your vids! For the past 2 months all iv been watching is you!
this is one of my fave builds!! also I just got my simsie merch in the mail!! :)
I love Family Island and Lilsimie, so good pairing for the sponsorship today 😻 I’m level 30 right now
Challenge: Build an entire family House using:
95%: Journey to Batuu
5%: base game
Base game only if the type of item doesn’t exist in JtB, perhaps?
@@ragnkja yeah, like beds and curtains
This house is perfect for my high school play. I have 4 teens living together and it’s so much better than the one I’m using now. Thank you Kayla!!
i get so much build inspo from u kayla
Oh, this is the first time you've been sponsored by a mobile game I actually play! Neat! I'm level 34, been playing for a somewhat long time.
Anyway. Love the house! Blue is my fave color btw, so the fact that you tend to make blue houses usually is not an issue for me AT all, lmao. But I love this yellow house too! Great work as always.
Same here! And you're not too far ahead of me in the game! I'm level 32!
I was looking for this! I was really wondering if anyone in the comments actually played.
Im in love with family island! Im only on like level 20 but I play practically everyday lol also I’m definitely using this house in my game, for me every save has to have so simsie builds
Kayla you need to branch out you literally always use the same build items
This house is super cute!!
My tomboy sim has a Mass Effect themed bedroom. Mass Effect is another EA game. The preorder chair and the speaker both have ME themed swatches. I was so excited when I noticed it. Honestly I use those swatches every time I use speaker and chair, regardless of the theme
I'm sacrificing my sleep to lilsimsie. It's 12am when videos go online and i just can't resist
Lol this was so fun to watch bc I always make my sims rooms super super small so I’m used to furnishing teeny tiny rooms haha
i actually adore the lighting in Copperdale and hope we get more worlds with whatever they did to make the lighting look so cool lol
Your builds are so nice, I wish i could build like you
I was waiting for the "we'll put an island here.... a FAMILY ISLAND". Haha, but no really loved the house!
I’m so glad CZcams is finally recommending me things less than 3 months old lol. Usually it recommends things a year or more old which I don’t mind and still watch but yknow
One of the best parts of lilsimsies videos if they have captions, so I can eat my snacks
looking back realizing u had just learned abt growing together b4 a massive "family home" streak lol. love ur content :]
hi kayla, as your biggest fan I am so excited because we have the same birthday. happy early birthday 🥳
Challenge. Use an entire lot for a house. Like every corner must be wall. No yard or porch or anything lol idk if it’s possible but. Someone try it!
I love your content so much Kayla! I would love to see a 'month of modern builds' or something similar. You're so well known for your Blue Suburbans but it would be cool to watch you move out of your comfort zone/do more challenging build styles!
Regardless, you're content and builds are amazing!
Everytime I watch your videos I want to play Sims😂
Simsie, PLEASE do a build with a basementttt!!!
kayla, I AM BEGGING YOU TO USE SOME OTHER FLOORING!!!!!
and couch, and windows
This is like the earliest ive been on one of simies videos
