    Ok after watching this channel for a while, I think managed to make Kayla’s kryptonite in the form of a build challenge.
    A modern style family home with the following rules:
    Tall wall height only
    No use of the color blue
    No debug landscape (other types of debug are allowed)
    There must be an indoor and outdoor trash can
    There must be a rooftop garden and a basement
    You must use 50,000 simoleons EXACTLY
    You have to use every single simoleon in your budget
    No base game
    You may use the following packs
    : Mosquito, Luxury Party, Journey to Baatu, Fitness Stuff, Cool Kitchen, and Get Famous.
    You must use 3 or more items from each of these packs.

      I considered including the Stranger Ville pack, but then I remembered how often she uses the doors and windows. I also decided against Realm of Magic, because even though this is supposed to be challenging, I still want the build to look GOOD. None of the Magic furniture would look good with these other packs, especially not in a modern house.

    Hey Kayla, I just wanted to say we’re all here for you with everything happening with Snap. You can take time off, ignore it, vent, whatever you need. We’re not going to leave.
    And I know how scary it can be when there’s something wrong with a companion, but Snap is so strong, and so are you!! She’ll get better, there are so many people praying, sending love, and crossing their fingers for you!
    We love you, and we feel for you❤❤❤

    i ended up turning mine into a gym the first time since I needed one for my legacy save, and it turned out (imo) so well considering I don't build community lots, and I sure as heck don't touch modern looking builds at all very often.
    Decided to see how many different types of builds I could make out of it, so I'm working on a starter house right now then I'm going to try and do a uni community building, café/library mashup, a bar, and maybe one or two more things whenever the passion strikes me. This challenge pushed me out of my comfort zone so much, even though I'm not actually "entering" it or anything, and I couldn't be happier about it as it's rekindled my love for the sims again

      All the public libraries near me have kids rooms - with a door. To keep the noise and chaos separate from the rest of the library, while giving kids access to literacy and literature and programming. Early literacy development is so important. Half the time, the kids room is in the basement or ground floor with the rest upstairs. The university and research libraries typically will not have a kids section though.

    You should use the shell again and lean into the duck theme making it like a spa/bathhouse type thing!

    My first thought was that they could be one of those cute, local, hands-on science museums! Lots of room to run and experiments to play with, but very community-funded and kitschy. A STAPLE of my childhood!!
    Edit: A little further into the build I saw where you put the chess tables. Certainly not a bad place for walk-up games, but I would personally have put them where you put your garden and had a covered fountain area. That way, while you play, your scalp isn't being sunburned and the water and laughing of kids is hopefully relaxing! I also might have sprung for your initial lot and done a community garden in back. This really make me want to give a shell challenge a try!

    I loved the vid as always, i was just so taken aback with the discord server situation...how would someone ever do d*th threats to you... You're such a wholesome and nice person, a green forest haha. I hope you didn't dwell on those comments too much, because there's no way they would even make sense. You're amazing!!
