This video is family friendly, but The Sims 4 is rated T for Teen and this video is intended for an audience aged 13 and up.

Simsie: "this is a safe family friendly lot"
Also Simsie: *puts a dangerous cow plant on the lot*
el em eff ayy ohh!
Classic move... 😂
Very family friendly
Hey, cowplants are family friendly! Kids can't die to cowplants.
And the vending machines 😂
I love when Kayla doesn’t give herself pack limitations, this build is so cool
she tried to limit her packs but then she used too much 🤣 chat kept suggesting items from other packs
Honestly all I are about is that not too many stuff packs and kits are used, because I don't have all of those. I think most people who play lots of Sims 4 have the expansions?
@@bumblewyn she is an official member or something from ea so she gets the packs for free
@Amber Ten Dolle They were talking about just normal players that want to use the lots as well- most have expansions, but don't have the kits and smaller stuff. I personally have everything, but I understand needing limitations for those who don't.
@@Kaeros77 As a base game peasant, I love when builders use other packs because then I can see all the objects I know I’ll never be able to afford. It’s much more fun then a base game house because I can make that myself.
Theory about why the Sims team wanted the tragic clown: If your adult sim has a creativity-related midlife crisis, one of the suggested activities is to view the tragic clown painting. So, it's referenced in Growing Together.
Ooh good observation
also, if you click the “share san sequoia secrets” interaction, sometimes it’ll say something along the lines of “i swear that clown painting in the rec center is haunted” lol
I liked the observation you just made that is a great theory for why Kayla appears so distressed when it comes to building a lot that is more than 35x37
that would actually explain it entirely
the bathroom changing tables are probably my favorite item it’s just so cute and realistic
Yes, its so cute!
Do you know what pack those showers come in?
They come in snowy escape expansion pack
@@nikolajbjersing4179 thanks about to get it now.
You’re welcome & have fun, it’s a great pack!
The detail with the sink in the art room was so adorable for no reason. Like who thinks of that when they’re making a Sims build? Precious.
Sometimes man's hubris involves seeing a giant lot in the sims and going "I'm gonna build There"
Also! I live in a place where it rains a lot. Indoor rec centers like this are honestly the lifeblood of communities here, its where u come because there's an indoor pool and stuff to do for kids thats not out in the rain!
I often build in 64x64 lots 😅
unless you're me and complaining that the 64x64 lot is too small bc you want to build a proper castle xD
I wish I had a rec center where I live... I'm from Azores, the weather is crazy and there's nothing much to do :(!
I was so suprised more people didn't know about rec centres (although I may be biased as I work at one lmao)- they are absolutely the life of communities
@@IrinaSilveira desculpa responder dois meses depois do teu comentário original mas omg nnc encontrei outra açoriana nos comentários da simsie, hiiiiiii!!! and i was just thinking this too 😭😭
Kayla. Your effort is amazing. You’ve also learnt a lesson 😂 No more 64 x 64 building 😂
I didn't knew that Kayla built the official rec center but when I first saw it I kind of expected it. There's a lot of attention to details, like the art room that has enough decor to get your sim to be really inspired and things like that. I'm glad that you're redoing it but with things from all kinds of packs because the more things this lot has, the better!
She's been saying since before it even came out that she did 3 of the lots.. lol 2 of the houses and the rec center.
@@Eventide215 So? They might not have watched every single one of Kayla's videos or just hasn't been up to date with her latest vids and forgot or didn't know which of the lots were the ones she built. I'm a regular viewer but you can't expect everyone who watches her videos to be one.
@@jackofhearts5542 Calm down white knight. Nobody needs you to come to everyone's defense. I wasn't attacking them like they're some terrible person for not watching every single video. Just funny they wouldn't know when she's been saying it in basically every video since before the release.
Now you.. I could attack you for days. I can't stand people like you and people like you exist everywhere now. You create problems where they don't exist and act like someone's white knight because you need to feel useful. Or you have your own issues and need to feel like they're being defended so you defend others when they don't ask for it.
@@jackofhearts5542and Kayla doesn’t expect that either, she addresses and acknowledges new/casual viewers watching
i think Simsie just likes suffering at this point
True
She's an M
@@skinugrybus or she’s just sharing her feelings? And not everything is a marketing strategy.
I love this like crazy because it is SO indicative of why the sims is beloved. Cow plants, killer vending machines, meat walls and observatories alongside quaint card tables and toddler playpens. Kayla nailed it. This is everything that makes “The Sims,” and I am HERE FOR IT 👏👏
I love the rec center idea. When I was "middle school" age, I lived across the street from a rec center. I took dance classes, pottery classes, as well as other art classes. I learned to play chess there. It was a great skill-building place. The Growing Together rec center has that feel for me in a way that the Evergreen Harbor community lots did not.
“Once you go ballpit, you might as well put everything else.”
Kayla is spitting Sims facts. 😂
It would be so cool if sims could give music/art classes! Like how Sims can host yoga classes or train others in the gym.
I love this build!
The problem with throwing events at a reck space is that your Sims will get distracted by EVERYTHING.
Like you throw a birthday party guest's come. You try to have the party.
1 guest is painting in the Art Studio, another guest is swimming on the pool, and another guest is playing in the Music Room.
Just get everyone in the room and lock the door, lol 😂
Hello everyone, welcome to my party! Jimmy, attach the deadbolt.
*door locks*
problem solved
Form a group and then here the group as you need to?
Sounds like a fun party for introverts, you all just go and do whatever you want on your own😂
@@riankoch9126 This is why Get Together got a bad rap: the Group "do etc. together" option is useful for a lot of stuff! So are the Clubs although that doesn't always overlap as well with later packs.
I'm currently renovating simsie's rec center mostly to add extra stuff to do from other packs and add extra decorations. She honestly did such an amazing job with the limitations she had. I feel bad about changing it but luckily I've been able to build down into the basement so I can keep things looking mostly the same. It is taking me forever because I am ridiculous and always put clutter everywhere besides where it makes it not functional
I am adding stuff too. There is a lot of activities from other packs that look nice there.
please tell me you figured out why sims keep doing food prep by the reception desk instead of in the kitchen area. i did a rags to riches while living at the rec center and my sim always walked all the way from the fridge to the entrance desk to make her salad >.< i even tried adding an extra counter to it and she still ignored it
@@Silverfur01 omg I had that issue with the regular reception area too! I was doing a rags to riches so I was packing a bunch of food townies made on the grill into bagged lunches and my sim was walking all the way from the patio to the reception area to place them. I just didn't put counters in my build
It’s alright buddy I’m absolutely certain that Kayla is not offended by you changing the lot however you want ❤
I wish people wouldn’t make a huge fuss over you using packs, I have all of them and I love your builds but most of the time they’re only base game 😩 so I will be using this Rec center like crazy. Thank you lilsimsie
build challenge idea: you can't use any items from the base game, it has to be in a world thats not in the base game
OMG, YES PLEASE!!!!
I really like this idea!!
@@idkwuzgoinon thank you 🫶
Love this idea
Great idea
My favorite builds simsie does are always when she isn’t limited to a certain amount of packs. Really showcases her ability, love this one!!
Kayla, I have been watching your videos for a long time now, and let me say, as an audiovisual producer myself, that the light and color grading of your videos lately are fantastic! This autumn clear vibes match so much with you, and really make you glow. Def your color palette. Sooo beautiful!
i 100% agree! looking back at her old setup is crazy now, this one suits her so much more! it's also just visually so nice to look at 💟
I love Snap cameos. Her cute little tail and the occasional head butting ❤💚😻
Love this! Downloaded this into my legacy save and added cheerleading mats as well. AMAZING build! I use your High School build and it just makes playing so much easier.
So glad you put in a pool in this one! Every rec center I've ever been too has a pool so that was weirdly missing in the official one.
This is perfect for a baby shower, family reunion and other events I’m definitely replacing the rec center with this one great job simsie you thought of literally everything 👏🏾👏🏾
Can we appreciate the effort Kayla puts into her videos
I mean, she built this on stream which btw was pretty difficult, there’s a lot of unwanted comments, i could never do it myself, so let’s appreciate her for that too!
pls get ur cat a mini-computer! cats tend to walk over your stuff because they want to be doing it with you (and also it'd be iconic)
This would be so good for the 100 babies challenge. There’s stuff for all ages so that the kids can gain skills while the mom can work out or paint
My thing is that I hate how all the big lots are usually already dedicated to something community-based, and are situated dead-center of busy areas. There aren’t enough large residential lots. They don’t have to be 50x50 huge…but maybe 40x40 or even 40x30? 30x30 and 30x20 lots seem so small to me. You end up having to sacrifice either house space or land space.
I mean... You could also use them as residential lots and build your own community lots on smaller ones or download some off the gallery :)
A while ago I built (most of) a rec/community center in Kiyomatsu Point (50x50). I got the idea while I was doing the stolen parents scenario and wanted a place they could go for activities and community instead of an empty house, and have a warm shelter if in theory they lost the house. I used the community lot from Eco Lifestyle, and because Shigeru(?) doesn't want it developed, I challenged myself to not move/delete any of the trees, and keep the above ground building minimal.
So it's basically all underground with an elevator down (everything except the climbing walls was designed to be wheelchair accessible), and skylights fit between the trees (that are permanently snowed on and dark T_T). I probably spent the most time on putting together a spreadsheet of all the plants, and having a program organize them into seasons (three greenhouses and an above ground garden for winter). It has a gym, yoga room, meditation room, a couple massage rooms. A crafting room, and sell tables where you can donate your crafts or buy others' to help fund the center. Locker/shower room, pool (with a small room on the side for the toddler pool), sauna, hot spring. A community kitchen for cooking classes, but also a place to make your own food using all the produce grown there, and serves the cafeteria. Cafeteria is great for parties, and comes with a stage for musical/acting performances. There's a library/computer lab, with a behind-the-bookshelf room for the owners. Two rec rooms - for kids, and adults. And emergency housing rooms with storage lockers and laundry facilities. There's also a space for strays to stay out of the cold, and the snow jungle gym above ground.
At first it was just kind of a branch here, a branch there, sticking skylights and the rooms where they'd fit between the trees, and just connecting them with hallways. I ended up using almost every tile of that lot 'XD
Just watching you build this is making me want to build a recreation center of my own with a pool, separate toddler and kids’ playgrounds, basketball courts (both inside and outside) and a designated skill building area for any skill I can think of that would be commonly used/considered useful aside from the required skill building items.
One of the first builds of yours I will DEF be downloading! I have all of these packs and have been too lazy to build my own rec center. Thank you for making an unrestricted rec center, I absolutely love it!
No pack limitations, no budget and objects limitations and what a masterpiece! This build is so cool. It really has everything. Just wow!
When I read the title I was like "oh no, not the rec center again" hahahahaha omg those livestreams!!!!!
My current legacy heir meets with her "after school art club" at the rec center! Its such a lovely lot and it's clear how much thought you put into it!
As a parent, I am obsessed with places that have random pack and plays. ESPECIALLY in a family washroom, cause then I don't have to put my baby on the ground while I pee 😅
Sometimes I wish you’d post the sped up footage with nothing cut out and just relaxing music or something over it as well as these videos. Because you always say we don’t need that, but I’d honestly love to see it, it really helps to see other people’s methods. I love your content anyway, just saying what I personally wish for.
I love the party room, the tragic clown is a perfect finishing touch
This build looks so cool and I love all the little details, like the sink in the art room or the barre in the music room!!
I loved it, it's AMAZING! We needed this so bad!
I was kind of expecting to see the climbing wall that is SO hard to put ANYWHERE. Totally gonna add it when I download it!
Love this build!
I created a couple of clubs using Get Together, one for music class ( activities are playing music etc) one for art class etc and I set this Rec centre as our hangout. It’s makes this lot the best place in the world!
this is one of my favourite lots you've done simsie, it's so well done and i love how it literally has everything that your sims could do. if i had all the packs, i would download this in a heartbeat. amazing job! :D
I LOVE this build. I needed something for a toddler play date and this is perfect. Its so nice to be able to have somewhere to bring Sims and every age group has something to do.
A 64x64 lot is a nightmare lol 😅
I was kind of spacing out while dual streaming, and I came back into focus to GIANT SAD CLOWN. So jarring, I snort laughed.
I love it when you use multiple packs! Even if they are ones I don't have, it's much easier to swap things out than re-make lots myself !
the inside of this feels so nostalgic, reminds me of the YMCA we'd go to when i was a kid
also i love building on 64x64 lots, such a fun challenge!
This is such a really pretty build! OMG! Kayla you've really outdone yourself I love it and will use it all the time!!!😻💕😭
i think this is my favorite build ive seen you do! it all looks so nice together and you can clearly see the effort you put into it
Yeeeeesss! This is amazing! I've been wanting something like this! Love when you build without resteictions, the outcome is incredible
I think the chandelier looks beautiful! Especially with the high ceiling. The entirety of your decorating looks Amazing!
I love my 64X64 lot.
I've made it a family lot.
Main house is now the adult/grandparents house, another rouse is for all the kids and the main family.
I have a camping area, abbar/gazeebowith pool, the roller and ice rink, music area with it, farm animals and garden, with a green house.
I love it!!
i immediately downloaded this, kayla. other versions were too much, I like how simple this is, although I did add more gym equipment. ❤❤❤ thank you so much
I would watch you build rec centers once a week for the rest of the year. This is great content and what a good build. I especially appreciate all the pack incorporation
Kayla this is the best lot ever!!! Placing immediately, can't wait to have my artist nana do the mural while the kids build skills and baby naps 😍
You did a great job on the Rec Center you did for EA and I love this one too. Will definitely download this. You're so talented. Snap is a cute kitty. I love seeing her appear in your videos.
I really enjoy seeing you use those random items from various packs in something like this. Makes the game feel more cohesive than it often seems lmao
This turned out amazing! I saw some of the footage live and I am honestly impressed how well you endet up handeling all of the ideas and "critiques" in the stream. It partially was really mean, but you made something incredible out oft it! Adore this!
Honestly, I love the ball pit. It gets the toddlers motor skill up so fast! I only got the base game update for infant stuff, and I am so upset that the playmats didn't come in the base game! And the changing table. Ugh, but i am playing a legacy challenge now and can't wait for my first infant! I just built a baby room! Thank you for all that you do!
This building is amazing! I don’t have some of the packs but I still downloaded it and modified it. It has everything!
Now this is amazing! My computer may want to blow up from using it but hay I love it with all the stuff to do on one big lot😊 Not sure about the cow plant.. those things creep me out but I know most people love them like you do! I know as long as you don’t eat the cake you’re fine but they still give me shivers 😂❤
I was hoping you'd do something like this! I think the original lot is great, but I have most of the packs so this is gonna be more fun to play in 💛
im so impressed with this! you don't build many big lots but this one feels so full and cozy!
8:02 thank you so much for mentioning the basketball bug! I was beginning to think it was just me wanting to yeet my sims into oblivion every time they'd stop cooking mid meal to go play basketball 😂
As a former YMCA Child Watch employee... this is VERY accurate. (Baby crib included.)
I genuinely love the kitty cameos :D I wish I could afford all those dang packs so I could get all your pretty builds !!
I love how Kayla says “no one needs to sit here and listen to me talk over footage for an HOUR straight”…. As if I don’t sit and watch her videos for over an hour at a time
I love all the little details like the sink in the art room
I live next to a rec center and in fact, my school has gym class in the Rec center. And this is not over done at all. My rec center has all sorts of things. A roller skate rink, multiple gym areas, multiple pools, an art room, a skating rink, multiple party rooms, multiple day care areas, two cafeterias, an indoor basketball court, indoor volleyball court, gymnastics room, ballet room, an overall dance room, a yoga room, and probably more that I don’t know about. It’s huge, with a huge parking lot as well. It’s got a lot.
I've used the gym decals from growing together waaaaaaay more than I thought. Anything with a gym they look great in
At the rec center I work at, we have a weight room, a pool, an indoor basketball court, 2 meeting rooms, and above the basketball court there is a track to walk and 2 ballet studios for like yoga classes. Outside we have an outdoor pool with water slides, baseball fields, and a playground that is built for kids with disabilities
All I could think of in the beginning was how you at 3:46 missed the opportunity to use the expression "...and all of that jazz" in reference to the music room 😂😂
Getting these small fun behind the scenes glimpses like the last minute clown painting request from simmers who've built lots for the game is so much fun, even though I don't think anyone's ever going to beat that time a developer just stole James Turner's terrain paint and put it outside the lot 🤣
Honestly, this kinda reminds me of the church I grew up going to. Like obviously the church building was there but they had a whole rec hall where there was a cafeteria that wasn’t staffed regularly but you could use for events, a big hall for wedding receptions, a gym with basketball and volleyball, outdoor basketball courts, a stage in the gym, an outdoor play structure, a prayer garden, plus a whole ass elementary school etc. like you could really do anything there and I think that’s kinda the idea of these rec centers, just secular which I think is awesome!
I love this! And I really appreciate that you used the majority of packs. Will definitely be downloading this for my game.
You have no idea how much I'm going to use this build-
So many cute family pictures and stuff will happen here!!!
They should come out with a gym pack which includes more equipment like squat racks, weights, benches, machines and generally more workout equipment/interactions. I would definitely buy it as i make alot of my sims pretty gym orientated.
This is amazing! Should've added the photo booth in the party room, I'm sure your sims would like a pic with the sad clown :>
You brought up malls so mall build when with a basement arcade and a rooftop cafe... rooftop cat cafe? yes please. :3
I love how simsie is embracing and seeking out the discomfort of trying new thing 😂✨
I live in Australia and down the next street is a recreation centre type of property, in the main building is girl guides, youth recourses, a gym, martial arts and gymnastics club next closest building is a bowling club and then the other side is a badminton centre, a tennis club and there’s two big open fields one is the sporting club for footy, soccer cricket ect and a smaller one for the junior football club
this rec center you built here is def much more realistic to an actual rec center. i would go to rec center every day for a few summers as a kid.
now i want to re create the rec center i grew up at!!
I love the rec center that you built for the pack, but absolutely added a ton of stuff to it with the other packs. Toddler park equipment, gardening stuff, swings, even a dog agility course. I go to this lot with my kids and pets and inlaws and neighbors, etc, ALL THE TIME.
I cannot wait to place this one in my game. I love to see what simmers come up with using new packs and base game, but I love the renovated versions everyone comes up with when they can use more packs. Like James Turner's high school lot? Gorgeous. Or your main lot in the magic world. I rarely play with spellcasters but I use all your lots for that pack because they're SO good.
Oh, skating rinks, I put one in mine too, and one in every neighborhood. It's so cute for dates and for family get togethers
Downloaded and touring and WOW! I loved the pack original, but this is basically what I was trying to gear myself up to building but better! thank you!
This was way to fun to watch 😊😂 I also love how she just does these kind of things for us to watch 😁
I used to have an awesome rec center in my old town. It has a basket hall court and a video Game Center and lots of other stuff. Definitely a community hangout spot.
I have an idea for a Sims challenge that might be fun to try out 🤔
Move into a house, whichever size you want to, but the house is completely empty and you need to furnish it.
The rest is kinda like rags to riches, except that you are not allowed the usual tricks of any successful get rich quick schemes, so no painting, digging for treasures, frog breeding, fishing etc. You are only allowed, at the start at least, to earn your money via your job, which you start at lvl 1. Then, you need to furnish your home in a realistic way, meaning, you cannot buy a, f.e. tread mill before you buy the basics (bed, toilet, fridge, oven, shower/bath) and you can buy those in any order you prefer. Next you are allowed to buy things that will help you gain skills you need to lvl up in your job, like a mirror for charisma (you are not allowed to use community lots or other sims' houses to upgrade your skills; if one wants to be more cruel toward your sims, it could be fun to have the additional challenge of not being able to use things like toilets, showers, beds, kitchens (or any free food for that matter) from any other lots than your home) You can eat your meals elsewhere, so long you can pay for them - no stealing from other sims or eating food that other sims make!! Only then you can buy other items like a PC or an easel (and only then you start to earn the money via painting, writing, programming etc).
If anyone ends up trying the challenge, I hope you have fun!! 😊
The rec center in game reminds me a lot of the two rec centers in the town I live in. Originally built to give families something to do and somewhere to go, but also a good resource for the homeless and people with a little less money than others ❤
Imagine they made a 120×120 lot, imagine how chaotic but creative making a lot with that size. A Pure Legacy Lot with Generations with a lot size that big would literally be a dream with Rags to Riches as well.
will definitely be using this one from now on, so much more to do when you add pack stuff
The tragic clown painting has been a thing since sims 1. I’ve been playing sims since the very first sims 1 ep (livin’ large) came out. There was a lot less for sims to do at that point, if you can imagine, so I had the clown visit on many, many occasions. (Plus I was a kid, so I, of course, thought it was the funniest thing ever!)
your creativity really shines in this build!!
did y'all know you can resize the mural blueprints and they'll still work!! and the paintings will be scaled as well.
Good to know! Thanks!
Omg yes the basketball court/hoop. I had put one on my home lot, and any time I told my Sim to paint (in a greenhouse in the backyard), she would walk to it and COMPLETELY IGNORE ME and go play basketball.
They would make food while their hunger was so low and just put it on the floor then go play basketball.
I love this oml. I swear though, if you wanna add anything else, a dog activity course would also fill in more space.
This build is so insanely impressive and well thought out. I think it is so cool and usefull
the only time i build on a 64x64 lot is if i’m building a farm because you need a lot of outdoor space, or if i’m building some kind of vampire mansion because i need more space for the basement area so i can build tombs and stuff
i love how you rebuild all your builds you do to make them how you want!
Wasn't watching some of your newer videos because I had a 18 hour car ride. I wanted to save them for! I am absolutely happy I did because I now have something to do!
ahhh! this is so cool. like i might stop my sims 3 binge just so i can play on this lot
Iv watched your channel for a while and this year was the year I decided to watch some of your videos to get out of my comfort zone and start building now every time I watch your videos I get inspired into building different lots .
Honestly it would be so cool to see the big lots you make updated/added to the simsie save file. I still play with it to this day because of how nice it is and the fact it already has all the stuff like restaurants 😂
I feel like the "kids/toddlers/infant" space is more like the "daycare" portion of the Rec/Community center, even IRL. A lot of time parents are coming for their own needs and drop their kid off for an hour or two in the daycare space, especially if they don't have classes for the kids that line up with what the adult is there for. My local Y also has an after school space which is unstructured activities for the most part. Kids can get help with homework/do their homework on their own and if they don't have that, the activities for the day are random. Everything from playing on the playscape to obstacle courses and relays out in the field or just tumble time in the "soft gym" indoors if the weather is crummy. The Ys where I live are pretty amazing. I admit that. But for the cost of a family membership, you get access to some amazing stuff if you have kids that would cost triple or quadruple the cost if you had to pay for them independently.
I don’t entirely understand the in game lot. To me a rec center is more focused on sports and maybe arts and a mixed use space for games and parties. Mainly I don’t understand why they had you build this with a library space and then had Deligracy build a library 😂 so I want to renovate it too but I wanted to wait for this video. I definitely want a yoga room and a pool. Basketball is a great idea too, and the community garden is beyond cool, I love it. Im also thinking about building a version that’s focused on elders so I can pretend it’s a senior center since we’re clearly never going to get one.
