Challenge concept: Simsie makes a little house the way she likes it, uses her favorite swatch for every item she wants, makes it nice and cohesive. Then when it’s finished, chaos mode kicks in. For every item, she must then go in and change the swatch either to her least favorite or to a randomized number swatch. Let the crazy colors and weird combinations unfold! There could be a before/after tour, or the whole thing could be built duplex style, with the two versions existing side-by-side. Enjoy!
Oh my god please
YESS!!
YESSSS
omg you're a genius, @lilsimsie please do this!!!
@lilsimsie please do this 🥺🙏
Hearing Kayla saying ”husband” made me remember that she’s not 16 anymore
I'm 27 and still find it weird whenever I reference my husband 😅
@@sisipinhoI'm year older than you and have the same issue 😂 We've been married for 2.5 years and it still feels weird, like I'm just a child, who let me have a husband 😂 and he's 5 months older than me, so it's not because of age gap or something
@@Noel.Chmielowiec yeah...in my head I'm like 18...tops!
@@sisipinho Same 😂 The best thing is that I don't look 28 at all and maintenance people sometimes ask me if there is adult in the house and I always say no at first, then I realise that oh well, I'm adult and I were one for the last 10 years 😂
I've been here since she first started college, it's werid for me too
fun fact, in some houses in the uk it’s mandated that the extension HAS to look different to make it clear it was an add on. it’s why so many older houses have full glass extensions
That is a fun fact! 😊
As someone hoping to become a historian, I honestly love that. Like, “okay, you can add on to your centuries-old house, but it has to be obvious what you’ve done!”
Ooh that is a fun fact!
@@7337blackwolfit has to be obvious that they’re a MONSTER who can’t leave beautiful, old homes alone lol.
Kayla having a husband is still so weird to me. I started watching when she was in high school. ❤
14 yr old good noodle kayak
sameeee lol
Samee
Had no idea they got married so hearing “husband” surprised me
@@kagedlimesshe has a video on it lol
"My husband is british" just made me fall off my chair because I've never thought about you having a life next to Sims.
I did t even know she had a husband must’ve missed that part 🤷
@@clairecoppins1536fun fact he edits each video
She talks a lot more about her personal life in her streams, so Dan is brought up fairly often haha
@@clairecoppins1536 Same !!
@@gwendolynrobinson3900 Ohh okay, good to know. I miss the streams bc of the time zones ig!
Kayla, don't apologise so much to random people. Just build whatever you like and use as many packs as you want. It's totally ok! 😊 We can't please anyone in this world. Beautiful house btw.
I miss Snappy. I hope she overcomes her fear of the kittens soon and can be back with Kayla in the office. ❤
Me too. I *love* watching the kittens in the background, but I miss Snap💔 Hopefully she'll be back eventually. Either with the kittens in the room if she's comfortable or without them
Have to say, as a Brit, this home is incredibly accurate in both aesthetic and the value of the build too. This kind of home in the UK would easily be over or around £1million.
Great build Kayla! Would love to see more of your interpretations of European builds!
agreed, it looks like a house ive seen before, its quite impressive since theres no cc. figuring out the value of it would be interesting (obviously it would vary depending on where it is) since i feel like a house the size of a shed costs half a mill nowadays :')
I love the chaos that unravels when people start talking where they have laundry 😂 I live in Poland, I've seen washing machines in bathrooms, kitchens, corridors, garages, but I think having it in bathroom is the most popular and least annoying. And dryers are just starting to be more accessible in last few years, before that they were so expensive. My mum bought the combined washer-dryer last year and I envy her so much, warm towels are next level and they get so fluffy.
... Combo washer-dryer? Those exist? And are able to work??? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY.
@@pinkcupcake4717 They're so cool! Don't think I've seen any full-size ones, but then again, full-size to an American probably differs to those with in-counter units regardless, lol!
@pinkcupcake4717 I saw one at a family friend's house like 10 years ago, although it was a stacked unit and the gimmick was that it could dump the wet laundry into the dryer portion without removing it from the machine. Supposedly more convenient but at the time I enjoyed using my family's standalone dryer to get my teddy bears warm and fluffy so I was like "this thing is a dumb convenience gadget marketed at middle class folks who live above their means in fancy cookie cutter suburbs, and unlike a lot of stuff other families have that I'm jealous of, I'm glad my family doesn't have this."
The amount of houses you build where I end up thinking 'a conservatory would look so good right there' and you added a conservatory to this house!!! Honestly a dream come true 😂
such a british concept ahaha 😂
9:00 I believe there is a trick that if you want to have a countertop over the washer, you can place a dishwasher, size it down, and the countertop should stay and you can alt place the washer under it
There is also a mod I used to use that slots the washer into the counter.
Omg I watch SO many old Simsie videos that I GASPED when she said "husband" 😂
Yeah she usually just says Dan. Lol
@@NikkiandFred exactly 😂 😂
I love discussing laundry in different countries, lol. In Australia, most of us have a dedicated laundry room that often leads to a patio/the backyard so we can hang stuff outside if we want. I've never seen a laundry closet or anything like that
I’ve seen a few townhouses with laundry closets to maximise space, but yeah any full size house will have a laundry room
As a fellow aussie I second this. I've lived in so many houses over the years, and we've always had a separate laundry with the washing line outside 😅
Older houses here in NZ tend to have a laundry room. Newer builds tend to have a laundry closet (particularly townhouses and apartments) or laundry in the garage.
also super common to walk through the laundry to a toilet, or have the laundry in the bathroom in smaller houses and apartments! i've seen laundry closets here in nicer places in the inner suburbs.
To my understanding, laundry in the kitchen is very uncommon outside of Britain specifically, although laundry rooms are mostly an American thing- most of Europe does laundry in the bathroom.
and posher British houses (like middle class and up depending on area) usually have a utility room for washing machines and dryers usually with a sink
Small houses and apartments in America tend to have a washer and dryer in the kitchen. That is how it is where I live, but it can vary I’m sure.
I'm Portuguese, and I never went to a house where the washing machine WASN'T in the kitchen. That's usually where the faucet for the machine is, so most of us keep it there.
@@simmerscrossinghmmm I’ve never seen laundry in the kitchen in the US. I live in the north east.
I'm spanish and agree with the portuguese, I've never seen a washing machine outside a kitchen. And I don't think I've ever seen a dryer tbh
I think this reflects British style! The house I live in is 221 years old and we can’t do anything to the front as it’s listed (protected). But, we can have double glazing or extensions out the back as it doesn’t detract from the old style house :)
221 yrs old?! Where I live, a 70 yr old house is ancient
@@lomalanni I always forget how young America is comparatively, and then Brits go and throw out numbers like 221 years old! 🤣
@@blaireshoe8738"In Europe 100 miles is a long distance, in America 100 years is a long time."
we should start a petition for a kitten cam, because i'm obsessed with everything shrimp and sunny 🖤🖤
She tired it but they too young so they are running around too much so it would be useless i guess
@@foxyvo1636yeah they don’t sit still 😂
@@HelpMeDecide0 i feel the same i just got a puppy 😂
Sameee
i'd love to see simsie make a little row of victorian terrace houses
Oh, little brownstones with a shared attic line!
Who is waiting for a lilsimse collab stuff pack? It would be insane
I live in Eastern Europe! Indeed, many people may have a washing machine in the kitchen, especially in old apartments where there is very little space. It's funny when someone is preparing dinner and you need to get clean clothes out of the washing machine. We also had to hang wet laundry on lines stretched in the middle of the rooms, because we didn’t have a balcony or other place. I lived like this for 26 years before I moved into my own house. (by the way, I only learned about dryers a few years ago...)
I forget that some people who do have washers DON'T have dryers! In my mind they are a package deal, does not compute that there can be one without the other right next to it. Not that the dryer is a requirement to use, I know plenty of people who genuinely prefer the smell of fresh air from line-drying, or want to save electricity, or their dryer came with the house (ie super old, possibly broken) and they just rather avoid it than find ways to make it work better or remove/replace it. I've just never seen one without the other beside/above, except the very rare occasion that I've seen a combo unit. Kinda wild to learn that someone has grown up thinking so incredibly differently to me, I love hearing about what others think of as normal, it's so cool how varied everyone's opinions on something as "simple" as laundry can be!
@@blaireshoe8738Honestly, as Kayla said in the video I'd rather have a dryer than a washer in a small space because clotheslines take up a lot of space. But yeah, for saving labour it's definitely preferable to have a washer, if you can't have both, so I see why having just a dryer would be even more uncommon than just a washer.
This is one of my favorite build styles! This build turned out so beautiful!
There are so many different types of house in Britain, of course not every viewer lives in a renovated tudor house. love this build!
I'm form the uk those modern extensions with glass roofs are really common here, they're called a conservatory
I always add conservatories to my builds. It just more contemporary with Irish/European houses where I live. The furniture from Island Living and High School Years really works for this style of room. Usually it's bamboo style.
Yes! Another conservatory advocate here - also because I miss having one in real life, and make up for it in the Sims!
The clear frosted glass wall decoration from Eco Lifestyle is something I also use for privacy in mine sometimes. I'm inspired to build over the weekend now.
@@rolandbaldwin I'd never thought of that! Thank you for the inspiration!!
@@katbairwell No problem. My most recent build is a house inspired by the Brady Bunch. It's not exactly the house but it resembles it. Its on the gallery but uses dozens of packs. I'm the same name as here. Do you have gallery stuff up?
@@rolandbaldwin I haven't been brave enough to put anything on the gallery yet, but I am determined to before the year is out (I have a horrible habit of wiping games and starting again -- apparently a common neurodivergent thing) I am absolutely following your work though, I need all the inspiration I can get!!
It's amusing hearing conservatories being referred to as "modern"! They were really popular in the early-mid 2000's but they've since gone out of fashion. They get very hot in the summer, very cold in the winter and are prone to issues with the glass paneling and roofs especially. You do see them everywhere here in the UK though.
If simsie is going on a trip that means The Sims team will drop something, since they always seem to do that to her lolol
yesss lmao 😭😭
Wasn't there also talk about an expansion pack, when they announced Home Chef Hustle...?😇 If they stay true to form, we might get some more information as soon as Kayla is gone🤣🤣
@@demiguise6208 yeppers! They said we will get another expansion this year
Its so sweet hearing kayla say husband instead of boyfriend 🥺🩷
I'm Irish and my aunt and uncle live in an old red brick farmhouse in the countryside, and they built a big glass conservatory / extension just like what you built onto this house. This reminds me so much of their house! Its such a gorgeous build, amazing as always.
Working your way into modern is a good way to go. Just build a typical house you do and then try to modernize it a little. You don't have to go ultra modern either.
I love Tudor houses!! I’m sure this is gonna be great like all of your builds! ♥️
To be fair, a lot of those extensions are actually just conservatories, so they barely have any use except for a space to sit in. Every one of them basically looks the same and they're incredibly impractical because you're supposed to have it as a sort of sitting space, but in winter they're freezing cold and in summer they're obnoxiously hot because they're small spaces with glass for every outside surface. They look like a modern extension, but they're really not all that fancy or useful 😂
glad to know i’m not the only one jumpscared by simsie saying “my husband” and remembering that she’s 24
Simsie the decoration box does come in red/white/green 🎄 ❤
Most of us know Kayla is married, but unless her personal life effects her videos she doesn’t speak much on it so hearing her say “my husband” made me smile
for those who use mods, i use ravasheen’s counter-fit appliances and the washer/dryer to add the counter slotting functionality to my game 🤞🏽
I recently took a wack at the zoella mansion and it was SO hard 😂 it’s on the gallery it’s called “the Brighton mansion”
I honestly don’t even know if it’s done 😂
But anywho! Your builds are so fun I love it thank you so much
POV: Simsie saying for the millionth time that “I’m not good at modern builds and I don’t make modern builds all that often” when at least every week she does a modern build😅🫢
I love this series and really hope you do more of these renovations in the future.
literally my favourite kind of build - old exterior and modern interior! ❤ well done simsie! and lol I feel so represented by the washing machine in the kitchen😂 in south africa this is pretty much the norm
My parents' house was built in the early 50s (and then expanded) so the kitchen is in the older area and we have our washer/dryer in a closet there. It's my mom's least favorite part of the house lol I never thought much about it until now though! She wanted a top loader for that reason, however, so it wouldn't get too stuck by the door if it opens frontways.
i absolutely adore this house it's probably my favorite you've ever done
I love your Twitch streams! They're silly and you create such a welcoming environment
I tested out the Pizza Oven in university and they won’t let you have it because it’s considered “outdoor cooking”. You can have a waffle maker, tho.
I literally watch you all the time, any chance I get when I’m not working I’m watching your videos! You give me so much inspiration! My favourite CZcamsr ❤
ZALFIE SIMS!! I love their videos and their sims series is what lead to my love of sims.
Can we name the skeleton Mark seeing how this is Zoe's house 😂
You’ve been an amazing sims builder for years but I adore what you are doing most recently! Cannot express the love and support I have for this channel, amazing work love❤
I have always been obsessed with Zoe and Alfie's "new" house, and loved that it was the reference for this built
This old house renovation is amazing! The attention to detail is incredible, and I love how you've incorporated the new Home Chef Hustle pack items into the design. It's clear that you put a lot of thought and effort into this build.
I think laundhry in the kitchen is a very european slavic thing to do, slavic houses are so cozy, i hope u make a house inspired by slavic houses
oh i love this style of build, stunning!
This is perfect, I was looking everywhere for a Tudor style house for my game and then I find this in my subscriptions, amazing! definitely going to use this c:
when you were explaining the concept, zoella’s house came to mind immediately. perfect!
I am so happy she made a british house. Btw i wish all British houses have swimming pools
Could you please do a chaotic wheel spin where you spin for the color, price, room type, AND size for maximum chaos. Example: A Turquoise 2x9 bathroom where you can only spend 1983 simoleons
When some of us have watched the sims pro grow up streaming the Sims, it’s awesome to watch the pro struggle here and there. Bring on the laundry and keep doing all the wonderful things you do with your channel. See you challenged is nice once in awhile! “Laundry “ 😊
i really enjoyed watching this get built on stream!
This build is super pretty, love the outside areas. Would be amazing if you could renovate some more of windenburg, it might make me want to play there! X
we grew up with you kayla!! it’s so crazy to see how far you’ve come
Very pretty 😊 though I do wish you'd leave more than one counter open for cooking more often. I don't think I am alone in having my sims cook together as one of my favorite things. For my G8 NSB couple it's one of their favorite couple activities ❤
In Italy, you never find a washer in the kitchen and rarely find a drier. The standard here is the washer placed in the bathroom or in a utility room. Driers have begun to appear in italian houses just a few years ago and are considered a sort of luxury since you have to have space to be able to accomodate one and the most usual household here lives in an apartment, not in an independent house. I personally never saw a washer/drier combo although I'm sure you can find them here, it's just something unusual just like the drier. Wet clothes get hung in the bathroom or on the balcony (when you have one), those are our usual "driers"
The decoration box is red and green. It’s the default swatch
In France it’s very usual to have the washer in the kitchen if the bathroom is small. Or if your place is very small like a studio you don’t have one and you have to go to a lundry place (lavomatic)
Haha yeah I have my washing machine in the kitchen (from the UK here) and hang up clothes on an airer. I wish I had a dryer but the flat we're renting doesn't have one. My mum has a washer and dryer but they are separate like in the Sims, we call a dryer a tumble dryer here lol. Our fancier houses have a utility room for the washing machine my mother in law had that at her old house and again at her new one lol. It was an old style house that was renovated too! 😊
On my old hometown main road there were so many Tudor houses like this I wanted to live in, I just love beams on the ceiling lol!
Lol I play with laundry in some Sims families, not all, just to mix it up! 😊
Oo I do love this house! 😍 I may have to nab and put in Windenburg, may move one or both of the Bergsten sisters in to it lol, I think their parents have passed on now in my main save lol
In Finland laundry is usually in the bathroom or (in a fancy house) in an seperate room
Thank you for all the content, i dont work due to being unwell and your streams and frequent youtube content keep me entertaiend and with company
It’s so pretty!! And I’d absolutely love if she’d renovate the windenburg houses, especially if they’d be get together only (tho obvs that’d make it more challenging) !!!
beautiful beautiful build kayla!! this is one of my favourites
I'm German and have never in my life seen laundry in the kitchen! This is so interesting to me. Is it a British thing maybe?
Pretty common in the UK yeah, or in an outbuilding if you have one with power (more common in modern new-build estates) It's a lot to do with the small footprint of our houses, so your washing machine ends up anywhere it has access to power, and plumbing. A schoolfriend of mine had theirs in the bathroom, the hoses connected to the sink taps, and the power cord had to run out into the hallway (we're not allowed standard outlets in our bathrooms, we can't be trusted not to burn everything down - which seems more than fair). Rather than take the hoses on and off the taps, they washed their hands over the bath. Brilliant family, mad as a box of fogs, but good kind people.
@@katbairwell This is really interesting, thanks so much for explaining it to me!!
@@whisperofspring No problem at all!
Yes in the UK it is very normal to have the washing machine in the kitchen. If you have more money, you might have a utility room where the washing machine is.
I have seen laundry in the kitchen in the US (Iowa, specifically), but it's usually only in houses that were built or last updated in the 1950's or so. It's especially common in houses built in the early 1900's or older, that were updated around the 50's, the plumbing hookups were already in the kitchen or were added to the kitchen, so the washer was added there. From around the 60's/70's onward, we started putting the laundry in the basement, and then in the late 2000's/early 2010's, we started including a separate room or closet for laundry, so that's really only a new build/fresh renovation thing around here.
omg i’ve been dying for someone to build zoella’s house in the sims ever since she posted the vlogs of her moving. bless lilsimsie
In the US, I've had kitchen washer/dryer, master bedroom closet washer dryer, outdoor washer/dryer, and laundry room washer/dryer. Lots of variety :)
I immediately thought of zoella’s house when you described the british homes, and then you referenced her! So satisfying lol
Love this, it’s so cute! 😃
This is one of my favorite build videos so far, the house ended up so gorgeous (but I've been in love with Zoe's house for a long time, so it makes sense hahaha)
This build is so beautiful!! 🎉🎉
I’m so grateful that she uploads everyday cus I just love her videos 😭
Love this, turned out so beautiful! 🤎
this is how i learned that apparently not everyone has their laundry machine in the kitchen 🧍
i like the layout!! and the dining table rug is very pretty i didn't know they have it, would love it irl 😂😂
i’m american and my dad’s house had laundry in the kitchen, but it was in a cupboard. dad and stepmom HATED it and reno’d to move it to the garage instead 😂
When the laundry I warm it makes my sims playful and they end up dying from laughter. In like every save! its so inconvenient but chaotic aha!
So pretty! I think it's my favorite build of yours!
🖐 American with laundry in their kitchen here- was like that at my old house growing up, too. I didn't realize it was that uncommon. Granted, the houses I've lived in were built in the 50s, so I'm sure when washers & dryers started becoming a more common appliance, it just made sense to put them where you had space.
Omg!!! Kayla at twitchcon!! I would love to go now! I'm super nervous with crowds to. So that's very relatable.
devonbumpkin would be so proud of you for that modern extension ✨
I loveee this build! 💜 as a British gal, i think you captured the essence of some of our houses very well! 😍 xxx
You are great at building Kayla. No Matter what style.
tbh as soon as you mentioned a big modern addition i had the clearest picture in my head of zoe's kitchen
it was kinda funny when you mentioned it right after!
the laundry in the kitchen is so real for me as a turkish person lol
The way simsie feels about modern stuff is the way I feel about old looking stuff 😂😭
As a Brit, can confirm that old houses with a glass box on the back are a staple of British architecture! And it's pretty common for people to turn the downstairs into a more open plan at the same time as building the extension
This is so pretty I am almost crying 😭✌️
Love your videos and I love your builds you were the one who made me want the sims and new sub
You are such an amazing builder. I learn a lot from you
As someone who watches Zoe and Alfie’s vlogs and uses their house for Sims inspo, this was awesome 😂
Yes please do a Windenburg default houses renovation😍😍😍
That bit about not needing to fence in your garden - true for Sims 4, but in 3 with Supernatural you did have to fence off the garden or else *zombies* would eat your plants on the full moon.
Took me a while to break that habit playing 4.
This is also very common in denmark here we call it an outside livingroom 😂😅
honestly the kids bedroom looks almost exactly like the room my sister and i slept in whenever we visited my grandma.
You should build a spooky house and also do another let's play with Stanley with the paranormal stuff pack for the month of October!
