this poor house 😭 the bad ea builds honestly make me kinda sad. like we know the sims team are rushed and overworked and understaffed, and seeing a house from all the way back in 2014 having mismatched windows, knowing how rushed the sims 4's release was, it makes me feel bad for whoever was rushing to finish willow creek 😭😭😭
Do you want a daycare game pack?
Part of me feels like mis-matched windows actually would’ve taken MORE work lmao? I sometimes will do quick renos of townie homes and it would’ve been so much quicker to just use the eyedrop tool lol!!
@@sophiag612 they were mismatched by height not style so I guess they clicked the wrong spot while they were placing them. It would have been funny if they were totally different windows tho 😂 I wouldn't put it past them to either cuz like, we know how badly mismatched the swatches are lmao
I think they make the builds bad on purpose too so every player can improve it easily when they first enter the game and feel good about it
@@mcblackmagic6937 yknow I've never heard this theory before but it's a nice theory 😂😭 "oh let me just fix this window! I'm such a good builder!"
kayla's ability to renovate ea's "worst" house every week but its always a different house needs to be studied
Do you want EA to join frogware to make a Sherlock Holmes expansion pack with his most iconic outfits and all of the pipes he smokes as accessories?
@@matthewboyajian9593 yes
@@mommy.hange0377 I agree with you, do you have Elden ring for ps4?
its called clickbait 😇
@@letsiku Do you have Elden ring for ps4?
Kayla didn't only renovated ea's build but she did it TWICE in different ways... honestly, that is peak building and designing skills right there 👏🏻
"1 window is very slightly out of place"
Simsie: I MUST REBUILD IT ALL!!!!!
I think this house would be cool to see as an upstairs/downstairs duplex since it has a double entry!
I love that idea!
Low key always thought they did these kind of things to teach you how to play the game. Missing a toilet? Well you need one, so you might as well figure out how you add one. Weird window? Learn how to move it, etc etc etc.
😂
I'm pretty sure that's the purpose behind making simple builds (not broken) builds. if the house is overly simple, placing a rug feels like an accomplishment lol
I remember watching the first renovation of this house (I think I was in middle school at the time???? I'm in college now, so it's been a hot minute) but hearing Kayla complain about the uneven windows again brings me a sense of nostalgia
I was thinking the same thing!!
I feel like the developers do things like not level the windows on purpose to prompt players to enter build mode and interact more with the game...or maybe it's just a gross oversight. On a side note, after watching your party pack video I bought the pack and made an epic sunken pirate ship with a dungeon and used the hidden fog machines. Snaps for the ambiance.
Yeah I remember playing the sims on the ps2 and a huge part of the game play was improving the houses with cleaning tasks to progress through the game.
a bit off topic, but i think sometimes you should try something different from the floor plan you usually do. for example, everytime you can fit 2+ bedrooms you turn them into a kids/teen bedroom, but you could also make them music rooms, art studios, candle makers spaces, little cinemas, laundry room etc...
i think sometimes making more houses with these different, but useful spaces could be really cool!!!
Having a Sims poster in the Sims is like having a picture of the entire Universe irl haha
Omg the way i ran to this when i saw the thumbnail!!! I HATE this house. I have tried renovating this so many times. One was really good. I made it like an NOLA house with a room in the back for a crystal ball, etc. It was cute but it took me ages because i hate the house.
kayla, my dear, I hate seeing you suffer like that, so here's a little thing I do: put an alarm every couple minutes to remind you to save the game. It helped me so much before I bought a better computer. I started setting it to buzz every 5 minutes but it was SO bad I had to change it to buzz every 3 minutes. When I bought my new computer it became so much better, but it still crashed. So another tip for non-content creators: lower literally EVERY video screen setup on your game settings to minimum, it will be uglier and you won't be able to see much from afar, but it will be also not stressful to play. My game literally never crashed again after I changed the settings. Hope this helps my fellow simmers ❤❤
i love how cute you make the houses turn at the end especially if you think how it looked at the start...
4:48 "this is a complete mess! Why did they do that?"
*looking at the most normal living room ever*
I think she meant the off-centered rug lol
The rug is off center and Its right in front of the staircase
The doors are inspiring me to make it a duplex.
YES!!! I was hoping you're going to actually do that house after you pointed it out!!! I'm so happy ❤
Do you want a fairy expansion pack?
I honestly wish you could set tables (or i guess chairs) to be for specific food just like how you can set sinks to be kitchen/bathroom/both. You coukd make a breakfastnook and make it for breakfast only, a dining table for dinner only, couch for takeout only, outdoor seats for grilled food. Added points if you can get an option for seasons to se the outdoor table to be the main table to eat at for every dinner in summer.
That will never happen and it would probs a a pain in the ass to set all of the chairs for specific use but ohhh i would love it
these two windows on the front are such a disgrace 😂😂
okay but I love both versions lmao
yeah, objectively you can v2 is better than v1 when it comes to more rooms and etc, but I like the size of the bedrooms on v1 more (and the living room having the sofa turned to both the TV and the fireplace was nice)
the yellow & teal bedroom came together so well!
Where is all my early fam?
YUP
ME
I'm early but I not your fam.
@@Dottie-oy5ds😐
@@Dottie-oy5ds LOL 🤣🤣🤣
this house is giving lilsimsie 6 years ago in the best way possible i can just picture the screenshot tour at the end
I never knew this even existed 😭😭 They need to make more camel back houses!
She has called every house the worst house at this point lol but that aside, the videos themselves inspire me to try more builds.
every time I put garden boxes in my builds, I say 'I'm gonna put a couple little planter boxes' to honour Kayla
One of the things I love doing whenever I play The Sims 4 is going into all the worlds and renovating all the empty houses.
piggy banks in toddler rooms isn’t weird! we have some in my nieces rooms too & when it gets a lot in it we go deposit into her bank account her mom has set up for her to use for a first car or college or stuff like that!
I like both your versions. I have been trying to "fix" this house for ages. I really hate the look of the roof that covers the first floor, so I extended the second floor to get rid of it. The house is too big now, but at least it looks better from the outside. 😅
Kayla: "we're gonna try to do a budget build"
Me: "she is not going to do a budget build"
I've always liked that wonderful house in the base game to set on FIRE 🔥
This place has always had a special place in my heart thank you for actually making it good lol
This house would be interesting as a converted duplex 🤔
Really love the newer layout. Tho I have used bedrooms to split up spaces before especially in some of the larger skinnier apartments and it can be pretty useful
The Pancakes have autonomously moved to this house in my game and I’m currently playing in it with them at the moment… it is abysmal!
From 12:35 all the way till 20:05, I couldn't stop staring at the open notification wall-
Just insert the clip of the background fish in Spongebob screaming MY EYES-
Hi Simsie! Been watching since a couple hundred thousand. Love love love your content, you keep me inspired!❤
I turned this house into a Residential Rental recently since two doors in the front and the back!
such a good idea! I feel like this house was meant to be multiple units (two front doors lol) but they didn't have that back when base game shipped
@@madsyxx Yeah, I did make 4 residential units in the house so there could be 3 other couples living there apart from the landlord and if they want, their spouse too.
We the people say bring back fixer upper 😂❤
Wow! It turned out amazing. 🤩 so much better. I would be interested in you renovating an old ea house, but treating it like a shell challenge. So you can’t adjust the walls at all.
I actually loved this reno and how good it is for gameplay! And thank you for filming the video TWICE just so we can have lilsimsie content
both amazing! but the new one is legit one of my favs you’ve made
Honestly the two downstairs bedrooms are super cute for basegame
Kayla, 😂 you forgot the dishwasher and the inside trashcan, again. 😊 enjoy your vids.
the camera quality is this vid is glorious kayla looks so pretty ❤
I really appreciate that you built this with only base game assets! Makes it so much more accessible❤❤
I actually love both builds and love hearing you walk us through the process
i really love this as like communal housing. soooo cute
Kayla saw the windows were uneven when she was testing the kit with Stanley the other day and has been bothered ever since 😂
14:32 Blarffy being refered to as "this teddy bear" felt so wrong 😂😆 Imagine Vlad being refered to as "this vampire"
The desire for realism makes me put clocks everywhere! that and feng shui. I don't know why, but I give myself some real restrictions with that one. I could never put the dining table between the stairs and the front door. The struggle is real
"I made it a little too old school fancy in the last one." She said as she placed the most old school looking painting lol
you should do a series where you renovate sims 2 and 3 houses
I have found myself doing this lately - just going in and remodeling the base game houses. I'm trying to build my ultimate save file so I can combine all of my families into one game.
wait okay ngl i love the first floor of the first version more. but both are gorgeous it’s so impressive how u managed to renovate it TWICE and have them both be entirely unique
Wow, I loved seeing your two different builds!!! I'm sorry about your audio problems, but seeing your back to back attempts is really cool! Both really well done, I really love your second build. I am going to download this one for my legacy challenge :)
Imo, one big bedroom is 100% better than 2 tiny bedrooms. Kayla always builds with kids rooms, but I mostly want to play with just one sim (or a couple). Just... make one normal sized bedroom instead of shrinking the whole house, making two closets and calling them bedrooms.
I too am a base game only player. I only downloaded it recently as a recommendation from my younger sister. I have also been redoing the base game houses. I am now on Newcrest. The thing is: I have downloaded houses because I am not good at making them myself. For Newcrest, I recently added a cafe towards the back of the land space.
You'll start to get a better feel for building. At the start (I haven't been playing very long either), building felt incredibly complicated. Since my favorite thing to do is decorate, I kind of dipped a toe in by moving around/removing walls in existing houses, getting a feel for things, before jumping into decorating. Once I felt comfortable enough with that, I moved onto things like single room studio spaces in the backyard to work on platforms, roofing, etc. I just did my first from scratch property the other day and it's probably not the most amazing thing, but I'm so proud lol. You'll get there!
This house could so easily be renovated to make apartments
12:34 Mannequin - Film 1987
A young artist, searching for his vocation, makes a mannequin so perfect he falls in love with it. Finding the mannequin in a store window, he gets a job there and his creation comes to life.
Staring: Andrew McCarthy & Kim Cattrlal
Genre: Comedy/Fantasy
Run time: 1h 30m
This film was iconic. If you were a kid in the 80s even the Brat Pack adjacent fail films were must see viewing. If Andrew McCarthy hasn't let his career go to hell from drug use he could have been as big as Rob Lowe, Emilio Estaves & Anthony Michael Hall. He was an incredible actor playing your typical wealthy fail son Chad, country club yuppy.
That movie sounds like it is based on the myth of Pygmallion.
I'd love to see you do a house in this style with the rent pack!
I am glad you renovated this build, this lot always gets my OCD triggered and going into overdrive--most EA builds do that. The one thing I really wished you would have done--imho--is take off one of those stairs from the front porch or make it one long stair. Having double stairs makes the lot look like it is a duplex--it also could be that now that we have the rent pack.
14:40 I’ve never seen this Dino rug!!! I am going to use this the next time I make a kids room!
This would’ve been a good opportunity to use the rent pack. That would explain the double doors on the front.
I watch you that loong to know that someday in the past you've already renovated this house 😂❤ Still love it! ❤
This was the first house I test-played in years ago, upgrading it as well.😅 But I'm amazed by both of your versions, which have totally different vibes to them.❤
4 minutes, im always working when simsie posts but this is awesome!
i watched a video saying you were goin to renovate that house and i was waiting for this video thank you!!
I've used this house a few times, and the uneven windows always make me feel crazy. Some things about this house are very cool in concept, though, so I like using it, but it needs work for sure!
Unrelated, but you look really pretty in this video! You look very glowy and your makeup looks v nice.
"I'm trying not to use too much blue" 2 minutes later makes every bathroom blue 😂 I honestly love the blue though
Love your videos!!
TS4 base game yellow gives nicotine vibes. Like, smokers living room ceiling energy. Lol
The thing that always bothered me about this house is the two front doors and the two sets of steps to the porch. I always remove one set to make it look normal.
I'm surprised you kept both front doors actually. I would have gotten rid of one and used the extra space on the porch for a cute bench or something
so close to 2M !! congrats!
lilsimsie challenge idea - make a build without adding a telescope.
hi kayla! I love your videos and recently I've been binge watching your legacy challenge and my mom (non english speaker) hears them too and she referred to you as that "funny american screaming young lady" and honestly thay made me laugh lmao Anyways, I really hope you and your cat are better now, it seemed like you were having a hard time so don't forget to take a break sometimes 🩷 love from chile 🇨🇱
I did not realize that house had a yellow color on the outside🤣
will lilsimsie make a 2million dollar house for 2million subs?
When she reaches 2 Million I hope!! 🤞
do to personal reasons im no longer able to watch sims content without feeling nauseous. but before i take my official break from sims content for the foreseeable future i just wanted to say i loved your content when i was able to watch. youre so funny and kind (and pretty :))) and i truly appreciate your content. when i am able to come back your channel will be the first i resubscribe too
Definitely liked the version made in this video better - though they are both really cute 🫶🏻🩷
More inspiration videos from lilsimsie. Let's gooooo!
the entire time i was screaming in my head “teleport NINAAA” so she’d be out of the rain
with the two entry doors one could do it as a rental maybe, should be a pretty easy conversion
12:42
This poster is based on a promotional video for Get to Work that EA made :D
Kayla you should do a build where you HAVE to try and use that awful basegame magenta.
This house is so big I turned it into a duplex. But I did it before for rent so I need to go back in and make it an actual rental at some point!
the house was originally so big because I think they were going for that NOLA duplex style with an apartment on top, so the extra space was needed, but the problem was that we didn’t have the ability to build functional duplexes when the game came out so I have no idea why they did that lmaoooo
as for the crashes: my mom as a similar issue with her pc, and weve seen it started with faulty ram memory. when we changed the ram, we managed to fix the issue for a good three years. it's come up every once in a while recently, but such a dumb small thing was killing her pc off. if not, it may be your graphics card (it died on me one too many times before i realised it either changing it or having windows get uninstalled). hope these tips work and your pc stops bugging you out soon💕
Wow I love this! 😍😍😍
Gurl Base game is always gonna be “old school fancy”😂
Video idea: A house with each room themed after stardew valley characters!!! You spin a wheel for each room for what character it’s based on :3
The sunflower bed is my favorite bed lmao
That bed is Vangohs paintings. His most popular ones which is why I’m confused no one thinks that’s cooler. The red swatch is inspired from his bedroom painting, the yellow is his sunflowers and the blue is the starry night.
Just imagine if the game changers had been involved since the base game and had helped make all the houses, the game would be a million times better
Thats so cool, I just renovated that myself!
I hate this house so much 😭😭 Those windows from the upstairs are not only at different heights but they also make it look like a face and it weirds me out so bad 😭 This was also one of the very first houses I ever tried to renovate so I’m just traumatized from it 💔💔
I just made a green and yellow small ranch house and used those bar stools💀 they had both colors and fit the best😂
I remember the first time I played the sims and my sims had this house. I was about 11 years old and tried to renovate it. Do you know how crazy it is for a 11 year old girl to think “wow this house is shaped kind of awkward” I did enjoy the challenge of fixing it tho. Point is, if 11 year old me could see obvious issues with this build .. how did EA think this was okay?
Almost to 2 million! 🎉
Almost 2 MILLION subs Simsie!!!
