who else is ready for all the content kayla’s going to produce when this pack comes out for real?!
Your videos and the passion you have for every little thing in the sims like, radiates. Watching your videos boosts my mood and I’m so glad your channel is on the rise
I have seen the disclaimer-intro so many times now, that i automatically just say it together with you!! (- Edit: Omg thank you so much for all the likes🥺)
This video is brought to you by EA GamceChangers. I’m not getting payed, they just sent me the pack early.
You ruined it by saying “omg thank you for all the likes” like please I was gonna like but it’s just ignorant and annoying. Please just stop people doing that.
The build items feel like cc to me, I literally NEED that toddler bed!
@@spuilloh2637 yuh, theyre probably worried about paralives
Olivia The Great & Glorius paralives has been in the making for months and so has this pack. Tbh most of this pack was probably already finished before paralives most recent reveal. We gotta EA some credit, sometimes they actually listen to feedback just takes a long time to be realized
Yeah, but CAS clothing is literally a trash XD
"Give EA some credit' lmao. We did over and over again, and they still disappoint us, 6 years after the premiere:)
They have really been getting better with stuff, first the sims 4 university items and now eco living!
mimi cakes Yes I’m on my moms acc, but that’s not da point! So, I literally just got this pack and that toddler bed! It’s SOO cuteeee!
I’m so sad they took the option to decorate the balcony’s away , it makes the apartments look rlly empty from the outside and lifeless
If you use TMex's TOOL mod you can place items on the balcony. Without mods you can still place portable things like grills, loungers and camping items like chairs, fire pit etc.
Wait did you here that?.. "All the wood is so same-y in here"
Did EA listen? Do we have matching wood tones? Do the swatches for wood match?!
I feel like they got a lot inspo from cc creators. These items look so familiar to some CC I've seen
yeah i was just thinking that the toddler bed looks like cc quality. i’m not mad at it though
I mean, that's good right? A lot of people have found the furniture provided by the game to be lacking, so they turned to cc creators who offered better options. If the sims team gets inspired by their cc (because they know that that's what the community likes) then I'm happy as long as they don't outright copy anything
@@svogel6459 ofc! I'm not complaining lol. I'm just surprised; this pack seems to have items that are very different from previous packs and I'm really excited.
lilsimsie: "There's no small tables?" "Do we have lamps?"
the furniture your sims can make: "·-·"
Yeah she realized the candles are in the hidden objects, but not the furniture you can craft. There's MANY things they can craft in this pack. I can't wait to be able to craft all of my furniture. I want to play through this pack starting with absolutely nothing except the container house, but only one empty container then expand it out from there. Being able to make your own candles, furniture, etc is going to make it really interesting.
@@Eventide215 The crafting is the selling point for me. I love it when my sims make their own stuff and there is so much furniture! And actually working candles! This makes me so happy!
@@tin4258 Yeah it makes me want to play it in a similar style of the Sims Castaway, Bustin Out, etc.. more thematic than sandbox. Like I want to actually build up from nothing. I've never liked 'rags to riches' challenges though since it was so fake in my opinion. This new fabrication and everything makes it more of an actual game mechanic which gets me really interested in doing it.
@@Eventide215 Same! Eco-living is the perfect pack for rags to riches. And then a more extreme version with all the crafting! Can just make everything yourself.
You could edit the balcony? Dang, I couldn't even set anything out there.
I think you have to edit it from manage worlds and not just build/buy mode once you are already playing with Sims on the lot.
They actually removed the possibility of editing it. I saw a player posted a bug report, and EA answered saying after it was tested, the balcony presented bugs, and that they tried some fixes but didn't work, so they decided to eliminate the possibility to edit it. I hope they keep trying and solve it with an update because this just feels unprofessional.
the trailer REALLY didn't do this pack justice
Right?? They left so much out! I'm glad that CZcamsrs with early access like simsie are doing these videos so we can really see what's in the pack
Worst trailer ever!! Turned everyone off the pack when it’s actually quite good. Marketing should be fired.
Really, I was one of the people that was bashing the pack after the trailer, and while I can now see my mistake and am looking forward to getting it at some point, there are plenty of people who have already brushed it off because of the trailer. I do think that the Country Livin’ leak had something to do with the massive backlash of the trailer, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that the initial marketing was pretty awful.
@@L-sillybrained It took more than 2 hours to go through the pack details in the livestream. Expecting "marketing people" to do that in a 1.5 minute or 2 minute trailer is unrealistic. Also, the one thing they probably have been working on for this pack during this pandemic was likely the trailer. So... I think we just need to give people a break honestly. And the people that raged on twitter and in comment sections need to honestly have a little humility for their clear overreaction.
I really love these apartments! They seem so much more realistic to me. Can't wait to see what you do with them. 😊
They're much more commonly seen for sure. The downtown stuff was nice, but they were a bit large and cheap for being *downtown*.. I also love the fact we can upgrade these buildings with the plans. So in an actual playthrough you could start with the exterior that doesn't really look that great and actually help make it better over time. The fact that this pack has you actually impacting the world around you has me extremely excited. It's what I miss from the other Sims games - the way you'd actually see the world changing. I don't like just having pristine lots all the time. I also think the EA builds are extremely well done for this pack compared to all previous ones. Like the elderly couple have an amazing looking lot including a crane.. which I'd never have thought EA could build lol. Even the upgraded community spaces look great.
The balcony now doesnt work :( says its not our owned area
Ik this is old but I’m pretty sure if you use the bb.moveobjects cheat it’ll work
No they made it so we can't edit it anymore, because it was very glitchy.
@@frejahavn1307 that sucks! Its one of the big perks of the apartment and its kinda shit they did that
The hyper-modern furniture has always been such a struggle for the Sims. I feel like they’re always just a little too impractical to look cool. Like.... the accent window into the toilet bowl? Questionable. Like, they need some better real-life references for modern luxury styles
YES. i appreciate that they want to incorporate modern furniture into the game but i wouldn't call those bathroom pieces "modern" exactly. they just look like they would be found in a bad sci-fi movie or something.
Build challenge: build a house using only one of EA’s shell
"Imagine this appartement in real life? That would be expensive"
Well... living in Paris, that is really cheap for that kind of appartement so I think that it is more a real price than in city living where it is reaaaally cheap
at first i agreed but i listened again, and it's 1200 a *week*, meaning 4800 a month 😬😬
@@jensencaldwell5101 that's correct for NYC and SanFran. Sadly .... for nicer apartments with space
Their lives are much much shorter so a week is literally years of a sim life so it doesn’t really add up
@@user-du2dq8li7k a week is one season, according to the seasons expansion
@@alexandrajones5087 In NYC and such it's like $1200 a month to just not live in a room that's technically illegal.. lol $4800 a month might get you a 2nd room. :P
Kayla about the toddler bed: "We cant NOT use it!"
* Doesnt use it *
I’m literally going to buy this pack just for that toddler bed
"this one costs 1200$ for rent; god that's expensive in real life, can you imagine? For a two bedroom?" Simsie my 1 bedroom is 1400, that is real life 😭
at first i agreed but i listened again, and it's 1200 a *week*, meaning 4800 a month 😬😬
@@Ninaverbena I live in a fairly expensive area of Canada but not even the most expensive part ... My mom often sends me gorgeous homes in the states for really really low prices
I own my house, 2 bed, 2 bath, 1 car garage, big back yard= my mortgage is $900 a month.
guys you must remember
ea didn't pay her, they just sent her the pack early
ea is also the reason she has a job. they’ve also flown her out to california and paid for every aspect of her trips. they may not pay her to post this video, but to say she’s not biased at all is stupid
cxdence xx don’t care if this comments a joke or not, people obviously think that since they didn’t pay her for this video specifically that means she’s not being biased at all. that’s not an opinion, it’s called basic psychology
@@user-ry7jp6uk8q you dont have to be rude, the person who commented this didnt comment it to say she "isnt being biased," all i said was that it was a joke, u dont have to take it so seriously. nobodys trying to offend u. i was nice to you but youre just being hella rude for no reason. it was just a joke, u really dont have to go so in-depth lol. sorry if i said something to offend u but i wasnt trying to?? i cant remember being rude to you, i even put a smile at the end of my comment. and i really dont understand why you would just assume people think that or that it really even matters lol. so what if theyre paying for her stuff? good for her ig but like please just calm down..
I love all the new objects form eco lifestyle bcs they are all like cute and pretty neutral colors or pastel. I loveee the new kids beds , they look like real life with those blankets.
This pack is sooooo good! Its frustrating though that for some reason we cant edit the balconies on the new apartments :(
No one:
lilsimsie: I'm NoT bEiNg PaId ThEy JuSt SeNt Me ThE pAcK eArLy
And then she says "iF yOu DonT lIkE iT dOnT buY iT" like so easy to say when you get all the packs for free
Kayla’s builds and renovations are actually so impressive. I’m learning by watching her videos haha :)
erinxo :0 OMG same!!! The only thing i need to improve on way more is landscaping
Just when I forget about the watermark... Kayla be like: “I’m sorry about the watermark” 😅
I love it when you do these, there so much fun to watch. I also love the two apartments in one videos
we need merch that says “I’m not being payed they just sent me the pack early” 😂💗
i have never been this early
as kayla would say “I HAVE TO BE FIRST I HAVE TO BE FIRST *comments first* yes.”
Am just in love with this pack - the wooden decorations and lamps are amazing 😍💖
You are such a lovely person to watch, you are so genuine and your videos have helped me through this pandemic so thankyou!
I can't seem to be able to alter the balcony, does anyone know why that might be?
on the preview it doesnt even highlight the balcony as part of the owned area as it did for kayla... i think they straight up changed it and took it from us :(
They actually removed the possibility of editing it. I saw a player posted a bug report, and EA answered saying after it was tested, the balcony presented bugs, and that they tried some fixes but didn't work, so they decided to eliminate the possibility to edit it.

"imagine paying 1200 for a 2 bedroom apartment"
me, in my $1200 rent 2 bedroom apartment: :/
I literally live in the same city Kayla does and I pay $1250 for my 2 bedroom apartment-and I'm getting a good deal for the area. I don't know how she is surprised by this lmao.
@@torat2970 Yeah but a sim's lifespan is only like 60 days or something, so a week is essentially the equivalent of a month.
@@slowlorax3141 yeah but she said that 1,2k a week would be expensive in real life and that's true
I'm loving everything in this pack. Also loving the wooden vibe! So stoked! Also, that kid's room is super adorable!
Simsie obsessing over Eco lifestyle for 13 minutes
Can’t wait for this pack to come out 😖
Me to! when It comes out that toddler is going to be in every single one of my builds
im OBSESSED with that toddler bed
the toddler bed!! and all of the plants are just wow
These apartments have inspired me to try and create my own small apartments using the Discover University Roommates feature!
I was inspired as well. I have twins that went off to uni together and one got a GF while there. Now that they are all done with Uni I split an apt into 2 smaller ones. Half for 1 twin and the other half for the other twin with his GF (soon wife??).
I've noticed you say the phrase "Is it weird (building a certain way)...?" a lot. Girl, just do what you think looks good/what you want and stop caring if it's weird. We're here because we enjoy you and what you're doing. Be weird, have fun!
Thank you for these videos! They make me happy and help me through bad days!
I'm not even a huge sims fan, but kayla's positive energy was so strong that thos has been the highlight of my day
I have extreme heat exhaustion, to the point where I had to be taken to the hospital for fluids and get my daily medication from an iv because I couldn’t hold anything down. I cannot describe how uncomfortable and scared I feel right now, especially because of this pandemic(the hospital I’m in has ~80 active cases). Watching Lilsimsie and Plumbella is the only thing staving off my anxiety and distracting me right now.
Props to Kayla for streaming and posting everyday for so long, especially since you just got out of college. thanks and well done! 👏👏
I'm really loving those couches and tables!! Neutral colors are bomb!!
I enjoy your videos so much especially when you‘re excited and happy about something so little🥺🥺😄😄
Apartment: is 1.2k a month
lil sims: can you imagine a 2 bedroom apartment, so expensive
new york: am I a joke to you?
I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣 my studio apartment is $1950 per month!
@@r0ckerchick93 How can you afford this? I do need that amount of money to live a month with my daughter!
I'm in love with this small apartments 😍 also love your renovations, the pack look so cool!
This apartment is lovely!! All the items in this pack are STUNNING! Can’t wait to use them!!
me: **a-**
kayla: **IM NOT PEING PAID, THEY JUST SEND ME THE PACK EARLY**
I had to go through an rewatch this because I jumped into my game into this same lot, AND I COULDNT DO ANYTHING ON THE BALCONY!! Like honestly couldn’t place anything!! Idk maybe it’s a glitch?? But I had to come verify and I’m kind of annoyed
It's not a glitch! It's so annoying! I wish there was a cheat code or something like that
The food in my sims fridge also has stopped spoiling. So now I have forever food, and I noticed even with max handiness and tons of parts I can’t upgrade the dew collector or solar panels or any of the new objects. The option is just greyed out still
Why do they keep releasing games without play testing them

The wooden wall covering. I love that so much! Can't wait for your renovations either. You make them so much better.
Simsie your builds have me so excited! 💞This pack is gonna be so cool!
The pack is now out and I love it but I cannot use the balcony on this lot. It says that the area is not part of the property. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I really wish the devs decorated the patios and balconies more as well as allowed us to utilize that space too.
I love the colors in this pack. The browns, greens and neutrals are just pleasing to my eyes. I love the wood paneling walls and the floors. It's just, ugh 😍😍
I love it all Kayla, I can't wait.. I've been super excited since the trailer. When they did the let's play I freaked, I'm so glad they're fixing some major issues finally and giving us a tie in expansion. I can't wait to see how all the packs work with it plus finally do an off the grid house, how freaking fun is that... or wait off grid treehouse oh god I can't wait 🥰❤
Anyone else not able to edit the balcony now in the full release?
When you put down that toddler bed I legit thought it was a piece of CC
The kids canopy bed and the solar panels/wind turbines are somethings I just loved!
Thanks for showing excitement on the same items im excited about lol i love all the plant stuff
How were you able to put furniture on the patio? Everytime I try it says something like “can’t edit outside owned property” it won’t even let me put a chair
I honestly do not have just one favorite item. I really love them all even down to odd shape windows and doors 😊
I’ve been enjoying all these simmers doing build challenges and remodeling places. Especially Kayla and Vixella.💕
We need “I’m not being paid” merch, “your such a wa wa” merch and “your such a weenie, god” merch
The "I'm not being paid" merch would take on a whole new meaning given the pandemic causing a lot of people (myself included) becoming unemployed... :(
i found this on my recommended page and i realized it was posted 4 minutes ago! i’m actually really excited
but this makes me wanna bring up smth:
how come i didn’t get a notification from her posting a new video? i’m surprised because i thought youtube fixed that problem already
Sadie Grace yeah, i checked like immediately after i wrote this comment to make sure it’s on all and im sure it is. thanks for the help though :)
all build and buy mode items are HIGH KEY gorgeous, I am obsessed
Its so cool how lilsimsie can just, nonchalantly find the center of the room for the ceiling lights. Im still at the beginning where im turning on the grid and counting squares
i hate how you can‘t place things on the balcony in die acutual game now
How do you edit the balcony on the first apartment!?!
I LOVE that toddler bed sooo much and all the shelves, like EA did great on build items!
Omg the shell with all the plants 🌱 I am dying it’s absolutely gorgeous ❤️😍
I have a feeling that Simoleans are an extremely inflated form of currency, so it almost doesn't matter that the price per week is 1200. I mean think about it; after all, a single potato costs 10 Simoleans. Irl I could get a 10 pound bag of potatoes for $5. Soooooo i mean there's most definitely some sharp inflation going on here.
The moment when you wanna click something on your screen and suddenly the new video pop up appears and you accidentally click it and that’s why you’re early.. 😳
Your renovation looks cozy, warm and happy. I like the wood colour.
So excited to see what you do with evergreen harbor!! I would've used the blandco kitchen cabinets in all black they're very useful when you need something clean and neutral but I totally get if you find the black too dark or it's just not your taste just wanted to throw it out there! The apartment is awesome either way!!
This pack personally surprised me after so much shit we've got with other packs. They added lots of thing i just keep using over and over again like that vertical planter or those shelves, or the candle and furniture thingos were you can craft. Or the world that imo is so beautiful and you can actually make a change. I just fucking think it's beautiful
How do you build in the balcony? I tried with enable free build and I couldnt
Yes! I even watched the video to see what she did...
I do also wanna know!!!
It might have been a glitch that they fixed before making the pack public... but I wanna build on the balcony so I'm kinda sad now...
you cant build on it anymore, they patched it out due to it causing "bugs" 🤷🏻♀️
6:10 That large shelving unit rlly is a dream... I'm in love
I really like the adult and toddler beds! They are adorable! 😍😍💕
I can't wait till Kayla will do more things when the pack will actually come out!! Like if you are also excited.
Kayla when she gets new apartments: I've been waiting for this in my entire life!!
Me when 1D comes back: same sis, same... :(
I love how I saw this comment after scrolling through reunion tiktok s for two hours
i adore the vertical planters and that toddler bed i love it!
I really love the build and especially love the kids furniture. The toddler bed is so good
Simsie saying '$1,200? can you imagine for a two-bedroom apartment' meanwhile my town is asking the same amount for a one-bedroom apartment in a bad area of town.
no one:
kayak: i'm not being paid they just sent me the pack early
Love everything you do. You are so bright and bubbly.
I absolutely love that toddler bed! I hope we get new cribs.
Can anyone else not edit the balcony on this apartment?
It's because she got an early copy, it's a different version from what we've got. They have to fix it first.

I'm pretty sure that some of the items could be based off some cc since some of my cc looks like the items
I LOOOOVE the awning you ended up using, idk why but it looks sooo cool and I want it.
Vertical planters 😭😭😭❤❤❤
Honestly Eco Living is something ive wanted so much.
I think it was Sims 3(?) that allowed you to compost and stuff which I LIVED for.
So happy they've done this.
Beautiful!! But how to you modify the balcony?? I tried but didn’t succeed....
I am in LOVE with the like stained glass looking chandeliers, they are just so pretty
I’ve been putting off watching all these videos so I can be completely surprised and after building... attempting to build a house with Eco Lifestyle (this style was hard using) and I’m ready to binge watch!
Ah, new expansion pack...I feel like I’m the fish and they just added so much fresh water to my drying pond 😌😌
Simsie: oh we have to use this toddler bed!
Also simsie: doesn’t use it
