When you're like "oh that looks nice" and she's like "no this is awful" 😭
REAL
the PAINN 😭
Real, I miss that fence
They used kayla’s advice to start with boxes, and just went "good enough, ship it".
😂😂
For real tho-
Kayla: Start with boxes.
Sims building team: End with boxes. Got it.
I want to say that's not the case but, yeah. Yeah. That is exactly what they did. 😂😅
"the worst house in the sims 4"
- kayla about every single house in the sims 4
and she’s right every time
@@josieblue ofc she is
Right?? They’re bad but not all of them are THAT bad lol
@@froggy5748 no sometimes I genuinely get headaches looking at them
seeing all the starter houses in willow creek for the first time gave me a migrane
Every time Kayla is like "is this too much?" I'm over here like "NO, MAKE IT *MORE* MAXIMALIST AND COLORFUL" lmao I love this sort of style :'D
I was so mad when she switched the green bed to a grey bed. It made the room look so much more boring.
@@RasendoriXProductionNo wait really????
All of glimmerbrook is so disappointing, you wouldn’t think it was designed by professionals🙄
“professionals” for EA really just means people who were there for the development of the game but in reality have no idea about any of the actual gameplay thats involved from a players standpoint😭
glimmerbroom desrves an update!
@@yayadavamp That's the best Definition of a word I've ever heard
Oh Glimmerbrook screams professionals, as in EA-professionals. The houses that are build by streamers are all absolutely magnificent, much to my amusement. Glad they started including the community in the process.
Welll the bar was built by professionals but those professionals arent sim’s professionals
I feel that Kayla gets the concepts of 'renovate' and 'tear everything apart and start from the ground up' mixed quite frequently. haha
tbf what else is there to do with this one lol
@@katechenault4808 Seconding this, lmao. I'll say, I think she did a really good job with keeping the spirit of the original, while improving it immensely
Honestly, there’s no fixing this one
It’s not even in a shape that makes sense
On one hand I totally get it, this is an awful house and she made a cute one. But on the other hand, I see these awful houses in the thumbnail and think, wow, what a challenge, and then the first thing she does is take away all of the challenge by completely rebuilding it. I'm not saying she should stop or anything, just maybe don't sell the video as something it's not lol
@@PutRandomNameHere yeah she could name the video like "tried redoing the worst house" because renovating is not the right word lolol
REALM OF MAGIC NEEDS AN UPDATE IN BUILDING AND SIMS PLAYERS SHOULD BUILD THEM
*all the worlds before simmers were asked to build them need an update
sadly dont think that's going to happen any time soon
I like the gameplay of realm of magic (one of my favorite gameplay packs) but the buildings are poop so they should update the buildings
@@starpupilsx well, they changed the Goth family for no reason at all 9 years after the game was released, they might redo some of the old houses too why not 😂
@@MIMINOSEC yeah fair LMAO, really hope they do tbh, they really need renovations
Now that you’ve been a part of the sims building team and really know the rules/restrictions unlike in your past starterhome makeovers... I think it’d be really fun to see you go back to one of the old houses and redo the renovation with the actual rules you have.
For example: you were never sure if there actually was an item cap so you always tried to keep the item count the same. If that’s no longer an issue, see what you can do! Follow the average budget limit, and try to keep the heart of the build what it was intended.
It’s be super cool!
She built for Snowy Escape too so she's known the "rules" for a while, but she doesn't know the exact polycount (I think it was that) limitation or the technology to make sure it runs on the lowest spec computer
She does have a video where she builds with the item count you can look it up as building with the sims restrictions I think
Kayla, you should trust yourself more! There are times when you do something super cute and then doubt yourself and take it all away! You have good ideas, just run with them!
I have always pretended, that the houses in Glimmerbrook are so empty, because they are just Alibi houses, because the owners actually spend most of their time in the Magic Realm ^^ (even though the only building there is also sheit XD)
Technically the only thing they actually need to have at home is a bed (because napping on the sofas in the Magic Realm is hardly ideal). So that’s probably why the houses are so empty xD
Good idea actually! 😁
“i want the cauldron but it’s 800” *proceeds to keep it and struggle to decorate*
Sometimes I want to see 2 videos for each renovation: one with budget restrictions and another where Kayla does whatever she wants and doesn't delete cute ideas because of money
Honestly the fact that the RoM houses all kinda suck is such a tragedy because the build/buy items are honestly so gorgeous 😭 I love the whimsical and witchy vibe but they fumbled it so hard with the builds!
I'm just sad there aren't more lots!@
Yeah there were barely any lots in the world which was the first disappointment, then the houses themselves are mostly basegame builds with only a couple of the RoM items in which was just even more disappointing.
Infants are ridiculously easier as a spell caster. The needs potion is one of the early potions spellcasters learn and they only require an apple to make 4. Using this, you can basically ignore the parent's needs and focus on the infant as much as you want without cheats.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Oh I was thinking you could use the potion on the infant so you could ignore its needs to actually do something fun with your sim.
Honestly, it goes without saying that RoM spellcasting just feels like cheats legalized in one pack.
I get that magic should power you. But you can do it like Vampire/Werewolf style where it still makes sense and gamifiable.
Spellcasting just makes everything ridiculously too easy. You have to limit yourself not to use some.
Glimmerbrook gives me TS3 Hidden Springs vibes, also what I like about this world is that there are no fake houses around, so you don't have to try matching pre-made aesthetics.
I've never thought about that before! That makes sense why I am intimidated to build in Glimmerbrook. There's not really anything around. 🤣
I can't think of another time I thought something else looked better, but I LOVED the whimsical feel you had going with the fencing out front of the house. it makes me wanna download the lot and add that back!
i loooove this build, soo cute, kayak!
has she ever renovated that starter home in willow creek that doesn’t even have a door to the bedroom, it’s just open wall, bc that shocked me when i discovered it😂😂
wait there's two like that in base game? because i swear one in oasis springs is also completely open besides the bathroom
OMG THAT ONE i use that house fairly often cause i only have base game and RoM and every single time i play in that house i add a wall and door to the bedroom bc…. no
@@3starsburningbright like i know it’s not real but we’re woohooing in there! we have to shield the children
@@mi1kguts i haven’t seen that lmao that’s so absurd💀💀💀💀
@@josieblue the one i'm referring to, i'm pretty certain she did renovate before btw
Simsie after using some of the very expensive RoM furniture: lets get rid of indoor trashcan to save money
I like keeping the underneath of the stairs and only delete it if I'm going for a certain aesthetic or vibe. It just looks more natural
I’m sorry but it made me so mad when she kept the door to the outside patio in the main bedroom, now you’re gonna have to go through the bedroom every single time to get outside!😭
I have a spellcaster and her husband currently living here with their 2 infants. I wanted them to live in Glimmerbrook and this was really the only option. I added on the infant room and a conservatory plus an outdoor space. I feel like EA could have done so much more with this world.
Update: three infants and a toddler now. I had them try for a baby and ended up with twins. Regrets.
For some reason this house reminds me of a gnome with the pointy roof 😂
I'd honestly just not have bothered with the second bedroom/nursery and made other bits of the house better/more detailed/added more skill building bits. I like the exterior ✨
simsie i loved how you had the exterior with the debug fences and the landscaping please have more confidence in doing a bit more because it looked absolutely beautiful
Definitely a fave among your more recent builds! The semi-rural vibe with the warm brick and wood are delightful, keeping the spirit of the original build while improving it in every way :) A shame EA dropped the ball on this neighbourhood, but it's been really cool seeing you make the most of it.
i feel like me and kayla are opposite builders, i love building realm of magic houses & barely ever build suburban houses 💀💀💀
The part of this build that resembles Realm of Magic the most is having two mailboxes.
Her thoughts when doing things "this looks good, OH NO" or "is this to much?" is me getting ready for literally anything she is so relatable
I'm thinking the concept they were going for was "traditional Sims starter home" - simple layout, sparse furnishings to give basic room use hints, little to no landscaping, cheap (and gets cheaper when I inevitably buy it unfurnished). Perfect for moving in a new family and furnishing & decorating it *for them*.
This one, though, IS probably slightly too large by default...
I love when you do this kind of building video. I love speed builds but sometimes it's nice watching you build when it's not sped up
i was loving the purple flowers and the little wall SO much and then she just,,, deleted it all 😢
I'd love to see her do this as an EA shell challenge. You use the existing walls, the packs that came with the original house (in this case base game and realm of magic), existing budget.
You can change all the furniture, widows, roof, door etc and to quote Lil Simsie "just don't touch the walls"
She changed original house layout so much, she may as well bulldozed it
These videos convince me that EA just either use ai or are just drunk asf when they make these builds 😂
Ooh I loved the path and flowers, made it look mystical and ‘fairy’ like - that’s still magical, right?!?
Its always frustrating watching her build and she struggles with money when she literally focuses on decorating before she even gets the necessities down. Then she has to go into debug for the rest . Which i kinda wish there were more simmers builders who didn't rely on cheats when building and build with what the game provides NATURALLY
I loved this episode. She said they're a difference between ✨effortless✨ and effortless...
the way she said that dresser was really cheap and seconds later she deletes it and says its to expensive, i love her sm lol
I actually adore all the colors and patterns in this build, mine are always brown and beige and blue but this makes me feel inspired
The fence and stone path looked so good I was so sad when it got deleted :(
Someone should make a mod where your sim wakes up at 2am and rearranges their room lol
My heart literally broke when you deleted the debug fence
Realm of Magic has THE BEST furniture, very victorian feeling, even flooring and wallpaper.
I wouldn't worry about the house being uploaded to the gallery with 2 mailboxes on the lot, I mean, perhaps you could pull a EA and say that "it adds to the mistery" like they did with Realm of magic and Strangerville (?
This is hilarious cause I literally just renovated this lot 2 days ago for my witch sim.
obsessed with how she's doing a budget build but wasted so much money on dormers 😂
i was hoping she would finally do a pretty renovation with no budget limit and all the packs, i'd love to see her perfect Glimmerbrook house :(
Ironically I didn't even know how bad these were on the inside cause I demolished them and built my own homes/shops without even looking. Ooof. Sometimes I get a little sad cause I'm like wow, I paid money for that. Even when I first started building I put more effort into my builds than what shipped with this world. I wish we could get revamps of old content like we did with Spa Day. I can dream.
love how she tried to keep the "vibes of the house" while the house, in fact, had no vibes at all
That was so savage, I actually laughed out loud and people looked at me weird.
Justice for the fence and stones, they were so cute ♡
I get it though lol
Plus the final is, as always, cute af ♡♡
That house is something that someone who is trying to build their first house in the sims with building tutorials
Seeing this is a great reminder of how much better the sims4 pack homes are now that they aren't built by EA
god I loved the fenced in yard w the tiles
"Even the blue I don't like"
Never thought i'd see this day
I renovated that house into a library and then later to a little store. By that point it was completely unrecognizable though 😂
her taking away the cute fences and flowers killed me inside
I love when she roasts the sim creators, its like c'mon y'all
i'd love to see kayla do a build or renovation with no budget limit :D
They should release a starter home stuff pack with just cheap but relatively simple nice furniture
As someone who builds with this pack CONSTANTLY i finally get to feel all superior watching this lol, usually you're building the mid century simple guys and i'm like wait what, what IS that item i've never seen it before im so lost lmao
I had no idea you could delete the underneath of the stairs and my whole life has been changed! I can’t stand when it doesn’t match the foundation 😬
😂😂😂 Kayla seems so surprised every time she goes to glimmerbrook
I’m rly sick rn so I’m just kinda binging ur videos and eating and you’ve made my day lol thanks
This house looks really nice AND actually has a backdoor, not just stairs leading to nowhere! EA could NEVER!
I’m a building designer and I think that started home will haunt my dreams forever. Though if I’m honest, I’ve seen way way worse.
Currently playing with a spellcaster (can't figure out how to change them back in cas without making a new sim) with an infant- this is perfect!
if you use mods, mc command centre has an option. there should also be a cheat you can enter
Occasionally I’ll do play with genetics and make a twin
Through gameplay, you just need to speak to one of the sages to ask for a dissolution.
If you want to make your spellcaster stop being a spellcaster you can ask any of the sages for a Rite of Dissolution.
I had the most fun, and spent the most time playing a spell caster. Imagine using scrubbaroo spell to clean the litter box, or use potions to not be tired after a long day at college. I did once get a curse, and it took some time to get rid of it, but even that was fun. I can imagine being a spellcaster with an infant would be awesome as you have potions to not be tired ♥
I remember doing a little bit of renovation on that house when I used it as my starter home. I turned the main area into an open concept thing which saved me a lot of money on walls, and then I adjusted a bunch of colors so that it wasn't so bland. But I didn't have much experience with building, so I kept the same general house design, but with different colors.
ngl a spellcaster with all spells unlocked makes having an infant way easier since they can conjure food, repair objects, clean objects or themselves, and put out fires with spells
this is such a cute and whimsical house!! has a lot of character
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of room for a Spellcaster to actually practice magic indoors, which is important because the weather in Glimmerbrook is stormy/cold. Heck, the spellcaster may end up needing to go outdoors to cast some spells. I know that the insticnt is to make things small and cozy, but Spellcasters need room.
Kayla: hmm, i'll make just some adjustments..
*5 minutes later*
Kayla: okay, i think that's fine
* The house totally different from the one of the result *
🌈 Start Home 🌈
Now THIS is an adorable starter cottage
I’d really love to watch a build video where you just let yourself go all out and not care about a budget
The way you still produce entertaining videos on this game that is lacking luster is amazing! I get bored with the game but still love your videos.
Me: ew what is that hallway
Kayla immediately after i think that: im removing the hallway
I loooove this. Currently using it for my Spellcaster playthrough. Updated with some color to fit the style. But thank you sooo much for your he build 🎉
Kayla please stop doubting yourself in builds. I always see you deleting the most beautiful ideas and it ends up making the build lose character so quickly.
I wish pack refreshes would come back, especially for realm of magic
SHIFT C SMOOTHS THE CURVE????? I’ve been playing this game for how many years and I’m just now learning this????? !!!!!!!!
Perfect timing! When my Sims got married last week, I had them hold the wedding at some random stranger's house. It turned out to be this house, which was absolutely dismal. Its vibes made me really sad. Your version is SO much nicer!
I love watching you go through all the stages of grief whenever you do video's like this one.
Seeing you try to convince yourself that you're making the right choices is just prime entertainment to me 😂
Thanks for your videos. Really appreciate them.
It looks so great!!
I gotta say when she did the exterior all fancy I loved it soooo much!
Sad to see those walls go, but it does look more like a starter home now 😆
Spellcaster with an infant is great! Lots of dirty diapers to get practical magic experience...plus you get to build that bloodline
I'm so excited to play in this house!! It's so cute!!
I love when you renovate builds!!
Sometimes I get fatigued from the same old gameplay or building and then I watch one or two of your videos and I get inspired! Excuse me as I go play now :)
The amount of squiggly lines in that house is over 9000
When I need a tiny bit of a cash inflow while renovating, I recall the time IRL when we found a jar of coins that has been stuck behind a wall we were tearing down. A good few of the coins ended up being worth some money so we ended up being able to upgrade a few fixtures we had settled for, and got the better ones we’d wanted. Sometimes my Sims find “random jars of Simoleons” now and again. 🤷🏻♀😅
That's a definite Improvement. EA needs to hire you full time to build houses for the Sims packs because you do better than whomever makes houses like this one. lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one still obsessed with renovating Glimmerbrook here in the year of our llama 2023.
Also it kills me that that beautiful art nouveau backsplash on the tile is placed perfectly to be right above a counter... unless the counter is up against the wall, in which case the counter extends up the wall to cover it up. Sims 4 please. :/
You did awesome i love your sims videos and everything you do is perfect
It's easy to be a parent as a spellcaster! You can brew potions (which you only need an apple for) to get your needs up and you can also cast two spells to make food (one spell is for an individual portion, the other is a meal with 8 portions, I think?). A teenager can drink and make potions (and learn spells) so they can drink the potion to learn things quicker or to get their needs up.
And you never need to shower because you can just cast Scrubaroo instead. And yes, Delicioso and Grand Delicioso are really useful when you don’t have time to cook; I like to get my spellcaster to max gourmet cooking first, so they can garnish the food, and once they’ve maxed the normal cooking skill as well they just stop cooking because they can just use Delicioso to get all their food.
@@ragnkja Yessssss!!! 😀But I have to admit that cooking is often the skill that they don't master ahah I just drink a bunch of potions/buy rewards and go on adventures (or max a skill to make money) 🙃
@@Houulah
Technically you don’t need to max the cooking skill. It’s just that once they’ve maxed it there’s really no reason for a spellcaster to _ever_ cook again unless it’s for a job daily task.
I love the rigorous standrads of sticking to the budget but gurl the front door opens into the living space straight through, that is such bad feng shu haha the eneegy going through the door youd never relax on that couch
The stone debug fence was so cute
video idea: tier list of all starter houses in the sims 4🌷
i really like this house !!
Lil simsie no kids room challenge (impossible)
noooo the debug fence looked so nice! 😭 other than that, the build looks awesome :)
gorgeous house loved the stone fence you had on it it was a shame you didn't use but but loved the build. realm of magic is my fave pack I tend to use it most of the time I can understand you were unsure with not using it xx
