I used to be totally the same way. I don't know if you're looking for advice but what helped me was looking at reference photos, it was a serious game changer
Try downloading houses off the Gallery then just redecorating them. Take it one room at a time & you'd be surprised how much you can change/update just swapping the colour theme from green to blue throughout a whole house for example
One thing I did that got me into building was turning my shoe box homes into little trailer homes! All you really have to do is add nice paneling and some plants for it to look nice.
The key is to take baby steps; anything different at all. Everyone has to start somewhere! You also have to want to do it. Maybe you hate building and that's okay! It doesn't matter what your Sim lives in. But if you want to try something else? Good news, everyone! Building is a skill-set! 😄 You'll suffer, get frustrated, and wonder why you bothered at all but you'll learn something (which might be that you hate building! 😂) Here are some suggestions, if that didn't scare you off: First, take the shoe box and cut a small square or rectangle into the box (you can still roof it as normal or try some experimentation with more than one roof piece; either way you have a patio now) or add a bump-out to one side (any side, including the front or back) as if it were an addition (a kid's bedroom or a porch!) If you want to get really frisky, make the bump-out an unusual shape, put a platform on top of it for the roof, then add a half-wall around the platform. Alternatively, choose one shape and turn it into a house. A square is more challenging than it sounds and an octagon house is fun, plus there's a single roof piece for it already, but if you create anything truly unusual, just add a platform roof on top. Done! Alternatively, if you enjoy game-play mostly, try doing a Rags to Riches and build the house as you go! You can even combine some of these ideas (DO ALL THE THINGS!) If you have the Tiny Living Stuff Pack, try building a home for each tier and make it functional. (You could also try the Too Many Toddlers challenge and build them a functional Tiny Home. Good luck!) If you don't have that pack, try building two or more houses side by side on any big lot in Newcrest (the 50x40, 40x40, or 30x30) so it's basically a small neighborhood. You can even make each one the exact same shape (your own shell-challenge but easy mode) and then try to make each little house look different in any way at all that you're comfortable with (from colors to window style to door placement.) Alternatively, add some random homeless Sims to Johnny Zest's household, go to Johnny Zest's house, and turn it into a trailer park! HOUSE THOSE SIMS! You can also try the Gallery Room challenge where you take individual rooms (including EA options) and try connecting them into a functional house with the only thing you can add being hallways, stairs, windows, doors, and a roof. (Anything strictly from build-mode is okay, but if you want a porch or a patio, it has to be an entire room off the gallery or from your library!) "Easy mode" is grabbing an Apartment build and turning it into a house (just finish the exterior.) IF you need some direction to help you out, bulldoze the Landgraab House, the Pancake House, the Goth House, or the Spencer-Kim-Lewis House and do the challenge with that family in mind (however many bedrooms, for example) and their actual funds to limit your options. But remember, above all else, you don't have to build like other people to make something you'll enjoy looking at. 😃
@@hopelessromantic3786 Yes! Second this! I also download floor plans from real-life houses for inspiration too. If I’m really unmotivated, I either come to this channel or hop on Zillow or Redfin and look at cool houses across the country and save them for later. Still end up with fancier shoe boxes bc I’m not creative at all but the process is fun!
Watching other Sims players landscape on UA-cam is what gave me the guts to try to make my own pond (and it's a bit of a work in progress but I like it!)
I checked out your channel just on a whim and I gotta say a Sim Survival Series is SUCH a cool idea that I subscribed. Hope it gets super popular and that you blow up!
Hi Marleenh20 here! I just can't believe you did take a look in my Oasis Paradise build from 14:41 ! I really happy that you liked it and I am still shaking about haha! Thank you for you lovely comment on my build! Lots of love from the Netherlands, Marleen
It does look super cool, but is really annoying for game play. But I think the point of these is for pretty builds, not necessarily for great functional game play, so I suppose it doesn't matter!
HEY KAYLA have you ever done or thought of doing a "get rich quick" challenge from presents (the item in build/buy) in the Sims? I was playing today, got a couch as a gift. 👀 thought it could be almost as good as dumpster diving?
OMG, I can‘t believe that you just showed my build (cabin in the desert) in your video! 😱 I never thought you would see it considering how many there were. And thank you for those nice things you said about it. I‘m so happy right now! :D
"Its not the tools, but the skills of the artist that matters" you can see its true bc people build amazing things with microsoft paint for example. Its just going to take longer than it would if you were to use specialized tools.
Paintings from the build/buy menu, or paintings that your Sims’ make? Cuz if it’s paintings your Sims’ make, I’m curious to see a room inspired by the squirrel painting.
Omg i saw my built in the beginning!! I knew kayla would never chose my built for the video, but seeing in the beginning just as she opened the gallery was pretty cool hahaha I freaked out
I LOVE that the gallery exists so even when I stink at building I can enjoy playing in other people's amazing creations! Any type of build you need, the gallery has it! Love these shell challenges too!
I’ve really only been playing since June, and I’m still trying to figure out landscaping and outdoor decorating. Can’t wait for the next one! I’m always so inspired by these videos.
Honestly, the amount of alt placing that has to be done for landscaping and terrain manipulation to look amazing is the only thing that keeps me from like training it more. I'd rather have more liveable spaces with furniture and such than a load of plants and ponds, but that's just a gameplay choice.
my favorites are the ginger bread ,spooky shell and cabin in the dessert .some people are so talented ...i feel like they could be architects or designers in real life
Oh I attempted this challenge one (1) time and immediately gave up akskdkdkd I'm so incredibly impressed with these builds! I would never have thought of concepts like these. Some ppl are so creative
I loved seeing the results of this challenge! And I also loved doing my own as well! This was the first shell challenge I've ever participated in and I had a really great time building my school of magic, the Ellia O'Malley School! I've recently built another built set in the same world I thought up when I did my shell challenge build, and have started also creating several of the characters for it as well!
people who make these things without any custom content never fail to surprise me the taletn and CREATIVITY these people have is amazing i'm in my third year of architecture and I can't do some of the things they do
These are advance builders and of course their builds are gonna be amazing. Tbh, i'm sick of houses and I would love to see more community builds and builders who isn't so advanced at building too.
I feel you, but don't get discouraged! Even if you never get to S-Tier, you're making important houses for the entire community and they're great because you actually got to decent-mode in a shell challenge which is nothing to sneeze at; that's still some grade-A stuff. And if you want to shake it up, clearly the obvious answer is to master landscaping, terrain manipulation, and the water tool, lol! That's my take away. Try building some parks and see what happens?? Or don't worry about it and just step away for a bit. Everyone needs a break. You just did a really hard shell challenge. Be proud of that because for every hundred entries LilSimsie got, there's a thousand players who saw the shell and said NOPE. (I'm one of them lol of course I always tell myself I'll try it but I never have the courage or the time. One day I'll do a shell outside the challenge window and be proud but it won't be any time this year most likely.)
If it makes you feel better, some of these houses wouldn't be truly functional nor that enjoyable to play in. Like the paintings in front of cabinets can sometimes get in the way, overlapping items can flicker as the game tries to decide which texture to show on top... Stuff like that. Its completely different when you're trying to design a house to play in compared to one that just looks cool. Its like those fancy rich people houses in real life. Like they can look good, but where the hell is the storage for all my stuff? LOL. They're just big mostly empty rooms with large sofas in. Similar thing.
@@AlexaFaie that is true. my old computer wouldn’t be able to handle half of these builds. and i wasn’t gonna say anything but using that rotational mod feels like cheating to me 😶 i feel a little better i guess lol
I’m so happy there are so many base game builds. I’m going to start playing again after having my daughter four months ago and I want to restart some of my challenges.
These are all beautiful! Possible unpopular opinion though, I really don’t like layering of random objects to make custom things - like the windows and the mirror? The flickering really annoys me 😂🙈 I just can’t use builds that do rhat!
Looking at these builds made me realize how much I would stuck at building ( I usually go to the gallery and use styled rooms) and bad at interior design. Please do a tip video on building and/or interior design if you haven't already😩😩😩
The shell challenge is basically that already because the exterior walls are done for you and you can't change them (other than height). Obviously the ones shown here had lots going on in the garden, but if you look on the gallery you'll see lots of people who did a more basic garden & only focused on the inside.
@@AlexaFaie Well not really. Maybe I wasn't that precise in what I wanted to say. I was more thinking of a challenge that is just focused on the interior, so no exterior and no landscaping at all.
what’d be cool! A video like that would be fun for people that are into interior decorating and it would give a chance to have a really detailed tour of the rooms.
Don't be too strict on yourself Kayla 😉 I find that you have evolved a lot in your builds and you try to get out of your safe zone more and more you doing good dw! I couldn't participate but maybe next time! All these participations are incredible you have a lot of talent well done!👍
These are all so great! I got a couple of great creative ideas off of them too that I want to play with! And yes Bestie, I want another shell challenge STAT.
These look really beautiful. I thought I did well, but the competition is getting better every challenge, which in turns also motivates me to get better. Perhaps one of my builds will get featured someday, perhaps not, but it's always fun and educational to participate. That's in large part thanks to all the other participants, because everyone just does their own thing to the shell... making it uniquely theirs. And that's inspiring.
I love these!!! I get so many ideas from these super talented builders. This was the first shell challenge that I attempted so please do some more so I can practice. Love all your videos. 💖
❤️❤️❤️ As someone who’s been playing Sims for 21 years, I always forget that we can now place windows on the same tiles. So it’s nice to see some of these create applications!
Considering the volume of people who did the challenge and Kayla saying "my favorites" I knew mine would not be in this video. XD I also uploaded it on the early side, so she likely could never scroll to it. But I got a few downloads, so some people liked it. :) That first build is amazing, just everything inside, but all that terrain manipulation. I won't feel bad about mine because I was on a ocean lot in Sulani and couldn't manipulate the terrain. XD And your mod's house is beautiful!
I always think I'm good at building until I watch these cus holy COW the CREATIVITY. Even just little things like combining objects or building shelves next to beds... omg.
Shell challanges are always fun to do for me, regerdless if they make it or not to presentation list. You would have needed a couple of hundreds of clones each one with own PC to review all the submisions
Actually, those little collectables at 23:50 are from the holiday crackers in the free Holiday Celebration pack. It's one of my go-to easily finished collections for the collection aspiration.
The painting museum blew my mind!!! These are incredible. I feel inspired but at the same time I don’t think I’ll ever get anywhere near the standard of these!!!
Not gonna lie, I downloaded the Oasis Paradise home off the gallery without even knowing that it was your shell challenge!! These people are so talented
Please keep doing these..its the best kind of content for the sims 4. I love seeing everyone's awesome builds just wish more could be shown more often.
really creative, Gotta try to find a shell challenge for TS2, soooo wanna try that. Regaring the useum - I once built an art gallery for the sims to go to, it was very modern and cplourfil on the outside with angle walls etc. Many large rooms to display art on the walls and in the middle of the building was an atrium.
Some people are so talented! It feels like we're not even playing the same game
Oh I relate to this comment so hard right now.
I feel this any time I watch a lilsimsie build hahaha the way she just landscapes so effortlessly?! It's incredible
I know, right?
I feel this 🤣 I try so so hard but I’m just not creative enough
@@ThatElfTorunn my pc can't even run more than 5 sims in my household 💋
All of this made me realise, that with all the potential the sims has, even with just the base game, I’ll forever be building shoe boxes
I used to be totally the same way. I don't know if you're looking for advice but what helped me was looking at reference photos, it was a serious game changer

That's such an interesting idea! Good thinking
@@hopelessromantic3786 thank you!!
I've tried the terrain tool once and hated every single minute of it. I'm so impressed by all these people! It all looks soooo good!
I tried it, realised it was harder to control than in sims 2 & promptly noped out. Lol
OMG, I can‘t believe that you just showed my build (cabin in the desert) in your video! 😱 I never thought you would see it considering how many there were. And thank you for those nice things you said about it. I‘m so happy right now! :D
Congrats on being featured
Aww congrats ♥️
your build is fantastic.
Great job!!!
It’s my favorite one and I can’t find it in the gallery 🥹
Thank you so much for featuring my creation (the 4th one by Melanieee_Drake)! I can't believe it, this means so much to me, thank you!
It looks so awesome! My favorite of the ones she toured! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's great well done
It looks great!
Great job!!
I'm glad you liked the gingerbread house, I always enjoy a good simsie shell challenge!
I'll definitely be using it!
It's soooo good!
Great work!!
these shell challenges make me realize how talented ppl are that don’t even have youtube channels
When you said "Museum of rock" my lame self was expecting some geological rock Museum. I am not okay
LOL SAME
I always get so discouraged with building because I don‘t really own any packs but seeing all these incredible base game builds inspired me so much!
"Its not the tools, but the skills of the artist that matters" you can see its true bc people build amazing things with microsoft paint for example. Its just going to take longer than it would if you were to use specialized tools.
the sims community is so talented! can’t wait for another shell challenge from you.
Anddd another
Build challenge: Every room is based off a different painting in the sims 4
This sounds kinda cool I might try this myself !!
!!
@@Delphsco yeah, I’m thinking the same thing!
Paintings from the build/buy menu, or paintings that your Sims’ make? Cuz if it’s paintings your Sims’ make, I’m curious to see a room inspired by the squirrel painting.

Everyone's builds were awesome and good job!
Oh I attempted this challenge one (1) time and immediately gave up akskdkdkd I'm so incredibly impressed with these builds! I would never have thought of concepts like these. Some ppl are so creative
The level of creativity on all of these homes is amazing. I also love your appreciation and excitement while touring them.
I cannot fathom how most, if not all, of the builds were even done, I have so much to learn about building in the Sims 😅
I love that so many of these ar ebase game! I find that base game builds tend to end up looking the same but these simmers were so creative!
the shell is literally identical to my architecture final project, im coming back to this when i start doing exterior bc OMG😍😍😍
I’m just gonna place out all of these lots in my world right now, they all look tooooo good it’s crazy!
This puts my builds massively to shame. Some people are insanely talented
I would love an Elf on a ShellChallenge! (I usually don't finish in time to post on gallery, but it's fun to do anyway)
This makes me want to practice building lol. I haven't even touched my Sims game in a full semester LMAO.
I loved seeing the results of this challenge! And I also loved doing my own as well!

Me before watching my video: I think my entry build is decent.
Me after watching video : I need to stop playing the sims.
Same lol
100%
I feel you, but don't get discouraged! Even if you never get to S-Tier, you're making important houses for the entire community and they're great because you actually got to decent-mode in a shell challenge which is nothing to sneeze at; that's still some grade-A stuff. And if you want to shake it up, clearly the obvious answer is to master landscaping, terrain manipulation, and the water tool, lol! That's my take away. Try building some parks and see what happens?? Or don't worry about it and just step away for a bit. Everyone needs a break. You just did a really hard shell challenge. Be proud of that because for every hundred entries LilSimsie got, there's a thousand players who saw the shell and said NOPE. (I'm one of them lol of course I always tell myself I'll try it but I never have the courage or the time. One day I'll do a shell outside the challenge window and be proud but it won't be any time this year most likely.)

Anaire is so talented, i love their starter homes. Easily one of the best creators
please do another!! this was my first shell challenge I participated in and I had a BLAST!
Would love another shell challenge for the holidays! It was fun to participate and see everyones creativity
Wow I knew that all sims builders are talented but these are all so great,sometimes I feel like I’m playing a whole different game
Holy cow, these are amazing! So much talent with landscaping, terrain, etc.!
I love that she talks about these builds like she would either live/visit these places if they really existed and it adds to the immersion ❤️
That last build and the storage under the stairs! So good!
i was hoping she'd look at someone's base game build, im so glad she did!
I wanted to see her reaction for other UA-camrs builds of her shelf :( like the one from Sydney or deli!
I literally screamed and clicked so fast
me toooo
SAMMMEEEEE
I’m so happy there are so many base game builds. I’m going to start playing again after having my daughter four months ago and I want to restart some of my challenges.
I love shell challenges, I always get so many ideas from them.
I’m so excited for this video I’ve been waiting for her to film it!
What do you think about Simsie building a Mediterranean farmhouse.
ikr?! soooo cool!!!
Best thing to watch lilsimsie before sleeping the most consisting thing in my life
The creativity this game inspires blows my mind! Well-done, everyone!
Shell challenge tour videos are always so good, I feel so inspired to build right now
One of my favorite things is watching these shell challenges stream and all! Please make a December one!
simmers are so talented I can’t believe it
ahhhh the gingerbread one is like something out of dreams
So many amazing builders! Yes to a December shell challenge. How about a multi-building one?
These are all beautiful!
Possible unpopular opinion though, I really don’t like layering of random objects to make custom things - like the windows and the mirror? The flickering really annoys me 😂🙈 I just can’t use builds that do rhat!
Usually you can stop that if you position it perfectly, has to be very precise though
Now i want to watch Simsie try to build with terrain :D
Got to love how the base game players just showing us how less is more 😍 all well done
Looking at these builds made me realize how much I would stuck at building ( I usually go to the gallery and use styled rooms) and bad at interior design. Please do a tip video on building and/or interior design if you haven't already😩😩😩
Ok but why are these people so talented?! They saw this difficult box and made it into something so beautiful and great
Can u do an interior design challenge? I dont know how it would work. But would be interesting for those who just cant do exteriors.
The shell challenge is basically that already because the exterior walls are done for you and you can't change them (other than height).

That first build is amazing, just everything inside, but all that terrain manipulation. I won't feel bad about mine because I was on a ocean lot in Sulani and couldn't manipulate the terrain. XD And your mod's house is beautiful!
Some of these builds are truly gourd-geous
I always think I'm good at building until I watch these cus holy COW the CREATIVITY. Even just little things like combining objects or building shelves next to beds... omg.
Oh wow that Gingerbread one reminds me of Frankenmuth so much! It looks so Dutch!
I love watching these, they’re one of my my favorite kinds of video lol. Plus I get to follow new builders on the gallery lol
I wish I could build half as good as these people 🥲
practice and look at references!! it gets easier with practice and you develop ur own style of building along with that
@@luvingcleo I have one house I built on my own that I'm really proud of, and I was building houses from floor plans before that
@@Rainjuh oooo that’s cool! the trick is not to compare your stuff to others, you like ur results and that’s all that matters
Shell challanges are always fun to do for me, regerdless if they make it or not to presentation list. You would have needed a couple of hundreds of clones each one with own PC to review all the submisions
all of these are sooo good, I cant! ppl are so talented!!
Actually, those little collectables at 23:50 are from the holiday crackers in the free Holiday Celebration pack. It's one of my go-to easily finished collections for the collection aspiration.
Just bought a new gaming laptop specifically for the sims can’t wait to download all of these into my gallery 😌
Love that these are base game. So creative & will be downloading haha
The painting museum blew my mind!!! These are incredible. I feel inspired but at the same time I don’t think I’ll ever get anywhere near the standard of these!!!
Its amazing how much debug stuff and paintings you can use in just base game
Not gonna lie, I downloaded the Oasis Paradise home off the gallery without even knowing that it was your shell challenge!! These people are so talented
Please keep doing these..its the best kind of content for the sims 4. I love seeing everyone's awesome builds just wish more could be shown more often.
I'm really amazed how talented the sims community is! Everyone did a great job 💜💜💜 Thanks for commenting on my entry in the gallery btw! 🥰
some of the coolest outcomes from your challenge yet
Builders and mods constantly save my game 😅 definitely adding some of these builds to my game
I could watch hours of this!!!! Holy cow the creativity
really creative, Gotta try to find a shell challenge for TS2, soooo wanna try that. Regaring the useum - I once built an art gallery for the sims to go to, it was very modern and cplourfil on the outside with angle walls etc. Many large rooms to display art on the walls and in the middle of the building was an atrium.
These builders are so talented.
I finally bought a copy of the sims 4, looking forward to join the next shell challenge
