i’m so glad you did this without the fake rooms but now i need an episode with 8 identical stanley’s trying to live here
Yes!!!!
I vote for this! :D 🌭
i came here to say EXACTLY THE SAME hahahahaha
Stanley, Stanlia and their kids Stan-lee, Stan-lea, Stanley Jr, and Stanley-Stanley living with Stanley's parents Stanley Sr and Stan
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This feels like dorm accommodations for University on steroids. I think it could fit in that type of gameplay nicely.
The worst part is some university students have to live in rooms like that. At my alma mater of 50k+ students, there were students that would be put in large spare rooms made into dorms that were called “supplemental” housing. Basically 5-8 students of the same gender living in a big ass room. Some of the rooms were shitty- spacious but shit. Some were kinda cool with that industrial living vibe. But yeah, overflow students were, uh, not always envied. 😂
literally fighting over the only pc lmao omg
This reminds me of a nicer migrant homes we have a lot in the area they're itty-bitty.
in third world countries, its a luxery to have less than 4 in one single studio room, 6-8 people is actually standard, i remember being one of the rich kids who only had 2 people in one room
I wonder what it would be like to build the same house with tall walls and out some of the functional items higher up? For example, the TV, a shelf with books, and windows could all go above bunk beds and still potentially be functional.
Edit: sp
YESSSS
I’m going to be trying this lol
With tall walls, you can potentially mimic having two floors with platforms
But the floor beneath the platform wouldn’t be useable so it would be taking floor space. It wouldn’t be more space.
@@erin6692
There are tricks to make functional rooms "under" a platform. You basically make platform walls with big items "upstairs" like a bed sort of hanging from the walls, mostly in the air (functional if done properly) and putting furniture under the hanging items (a bed, couch or a rug "upstairs" is the ceiling of the "room" underneath). It's tricky but it works and you can actually have almost 2 rooms in a place of one.
I’ve been wanting someone to build a micro home for 8 sims but like a indoor outdoor hippie camp.
Yes! With an outdoor bathroom!
Sydney Macoretta did an 8-sim micro-home and it had that sort of feel! It reminded me of like a camp cabin so I use it for my sims to vacation in Granite Falls :) even if rentals can’t get the micro home perks lol
I built several hippie camp lots when Outdoor Retreat first came out... there were tents, indoor/outdoor kitchen setups, pretty much the only things that were fully indoors were the bathrooms and baby/toddler room.
That's so weird because I have been making a hippie commune on the island in Windenburg with this concept for a little while now.
@@abbytaegusuga link? I wanna see :)
Just downloaded it from the gallery and played with the layout a bit:
If you ditched the rather pointless 2-person dining table in this 8-person home, you could put the couch against the middle bunk bed, a coffee table against the wall in front of it, a larger TV on the coffee table, and if you use a corner piece counter (which still counts as a counter but is much, much smaller) and move the entire kitchen to the entrance (where your couch is), you have space left between this new kitchen and the new coffee table for an easel, and then you can put a functional dream home decorator hanging closet at the place where now that tiny TV is, you can even put a shoe rack underneath.
(Everything will remain functional, you will have a larger TV, an easel, and a dresser. You can gain even more space if you use the stockier tiny home dresser instead of an entire coffee table, you can still put a TV on it, and that frees up the corner between the entrance and bathroom door for something else, and half the space the coffee table occupied.)
Yesssss!
Mmm generally I don’t include dressers in these builds because mirrors fill the same function.
@@Theater00jock It's not about a checklist of functions, it's about creating something that looks livable. If I can't place a clothes and shoerack I consider it a failed build.
I'm very impressed. Not only was it created without fake rooms, it is actually a starter home without even trying!
little tip for tiny kitchens: you can place a countertop oven on top of a mini fridge! you wont be able to do any meals that require a hob, but at least you can cook something more filling than fridge snacks.
You can also use the separate coutertop induction type stove as a prep counter.
I don't even do this, lol. My sims get a fridge and a counter, salads every day. Even in larger homes as I got too sick of fires, especially now with them getting fears every two seconds. But I often use the mini fridge to then slot something else functional on top of it - books for example.
@@bluewrenbirdie ha same. I got fed up with a family constantly causing fires that they eat only salads now.
How do you get mini fridges?
@@chibigirl8545 Mini-fridges are not base game. There are currently 3 mini-fridges, 2 from Discover University Expansion, and 1 from Spa Day Game Pack (it was added with the refresh), so buying either of those would get you a mini-fridge.
A random, small fun object I have really enjoyed adding into tiny homes is the mound of clay. It barely takes up any space, kids and adults can use it, and ultimately it can just hang out in the individual sims inventory 😅
It would be sooo interesting to see you playing in this house with 8 sims. It should be a great challenge for anybody.
Sounds horrible
I usually play 8-12 (with bigger families cheat) sims at once so there is no challenge for me. I am actually bored with just 2-5 sims. I usually make "neighbors" (8-10 young adult sims move in together to a place with a lot of single person flats and as some of them get married and some move out I make them "rent" the single sim flat "next door" and refurnish their flats to fit their new 2 adults+some children familie). It starts with 8-10 young adults and ends with 2-3 families with kids.
It also works with siblings living together and starting their own families on the same lot.
I will often make like 2-3 houses on a lot too.
It makes it easy to move in because there is always someone living on the lot already and there are still "empty" houses of flats to be taken. And since you don't need to buy the house I pretend the sims are paying rent. I use SimNationalBank mod to make them actually pay rent (shared money) and collect their own money (private bank account) by making them put 30-70% of their income into their private account (which they can then use when they move out and look for their own house) and the the 70-30% goes into the shared money used to pay bills and buy furniture for everyone use.
The only problem is the sims are not really smart with uses of fridge and counters with multiple of them on a lot so I usually make a shared area where they all cook and eat all their meals. Like a cafeteria or a bar.
First of all: love this as a concept. Second: I got so excited when you set each bed to a different swatch! Idk why, maybe cuz I’m just picturing each Sim having their bed’s design fit to their individual personality and/or aesthetic
The idea of taking your whole crew out to shop for bedding is a pretty fun one
I like to imagine this as a little hostel type thing. Some lady decided to make an airbnb with like, no space
lmaoo I stayed in one of those, a "hostel" set up in somebody's apartment with 3 bunk beds in one tiny room and another few in another room, and the living/kitchen was just the owners' office lol! The bedroom situation was fine because I've stayed in a lot of hostels before but the bathroom was awkward because it was literally just a regular house's bathroom but there were like 10+ people staying there 😭
I played in a 32 tile micro home like this with 4 sims for the start of my new legacy challenge. And boy was it interesting. Especially since I had two toddlers being raised by two werewolves.
I love toddlers and I love werewolves but the two together frustrate me SO much. Rn my sim is a werewolf and for a long time now at least one of her three kids has been a toddler and it's rough. Her eldest is about age into a teen and he's also a werewolf so I don't know if it's really about to get any better. 😭
I feel like simsie has done this idea 10 times and yet it’s entertaining every time 10/10
her videos are very repetitive but i still enjoy every second
@@cupiditied yesss they’re like repetitive in a good way? she doesn’t do the same thing too close together for it to not be enjoyable the next time it happens imo
kayla you should do something where it’s a no base game build, like you can only use packs for like the foundation and everything (except walls if you choose)
I'd love to see you try to make an inside-out house. You know, bed and bathroom and kitchen and dining stuff outside, plants and pool on the inside. I want to see if it's possible.
As someone who has to share a room with one person, this house would be MISERABLE to live in 😭
Same, this house is a nightmare
as someone who has to share a room with 3 persons, I second this
@leo oh wow I’m sorry 😳
I've lived with four other people in a single room and the bed situation is manageable. But I definitely wouldn't want the kitchen/living to be the same room. Have also lived in an 8-person household with a single bathroom and that is way too small.
@@BonaparteBardithion I relate HARD with the single bathroom-
I love building tiny houses too. Tiny Living is probably one of my top 5 packs.
Your username is so brilliantly suitable!
@@pemeliie Thanks, Simsie and James inspired me to start my own channel finally.
Me too! I love Tiny Living and Nifty Knitting
To make the house even more functional, make the roof into something, add a set of stairs and have it be outdoor space instead of a "Room".
I disagree with the stairs, such a waste of space! If anything, a ladder would be better.
@@musicfightclub1463 True, I wasn't thinking. Ladder is best.
@@RoxyLuffer or put the stairs outside 😂
@@vivalaasvegan9624 I mean, that'd be the only way to do it really; with stairs.
This reminds me of my college dorm.
Yes! I was thinking like that. I also was thinking of putting skinny bookshelves and display type things or desks at the end of the beds
I love using microhomes. I tend to make an outdoor space with an overhang. I usually put skill items out there. For rags to riches I usually have a grill or something to cook with. Outdoor space is very well utilized.
Same! I love to make a little sheltered garden grove, with maybe a chicken coop if my Sim is fancy.
Alternative title: Simsie builds a fancy bunker
I imagine this house belonging to 8 siblings who just lost their parents and now they need to find a way to support themselves together
This is so cute. I’d love to try and play in it in future. I might end up adding a woohoo bush so I can try and play a couple and their 6 kids 😂
I'm gonna try a micro home but with 8 loft beds and put a couch under a few, a kitchenette under one, a bathroom under one, etc. Im hoping it works. I won't be able to try it until my next day off so I can really invest time into it!
I think she tried that in other video. Only desks and table can function under the loft bed.
Bunk beds really are a game changer for micro homes!
I always set up an 8 Sim house. Just a dumping place for lots of Sims that my played households can interact with. Sometimes, I’ll give them jobs and skills, but I never play them.
Not that I generally play. I just like to build. And create Sims.
one of my favorite parts of my day is coming home from 8 hours of dance and 3 hours of ballet and while i’m getting ready to go to bed kayla is playing this silly little sims game and i love it it has a balance of calmness, excitement and playfulness to let me properly go to bed after without all the stressors of social media! keep it up love all the content
It's cute! It improved greatly with colour choices. Btw you could have put the two bunks side by side in the middle.
Now I want to make an 8 sim micro-home. I think I'll put the entrance on the long side.
I really hope Kayla posts a tour of her new house once she is all moved in.
I think she said that she won't (not sure if she just meant the old house or both of them, I came in in the middle of her talking about it on twitch, so I lost a lot of context), which is understandable, she felt it would be too personal, which I hope we all respect❤️ I just don't want you guys to wait for something that might never happen, I'd rather you get a nice surprise if it does😅
@@UncleMoony Yeah I could totally understand that. I'm mostly interested in seeing the final version of the kitchen that they renovated.
I'm glad you tried the challenge without doing the sneaky extra room and stuff outside ! It came out very great ! But why didn't you use the decorations from the pack ? There's some cool stuff in there that would've looked better (imo).
It’s like a camp counselor cabin on the inside. I love it
This would make a great starter home for the 100 baby challenge. Imagine if you built it on a huge lot and had a farm and fields of crops. 😅
it would be better to make a multi-storey house. it is morally impossible to live in such a cramped place 😅
I honestly cannot wait to see the new office! That and for the next legacy episode! So excited to see Blue and Rusty Bell’s adventures! Just no more geralding! Congrats on finishing the house!
It actually reminds me of like a hunt camp or a kids stay away camp vibe
There are a few sweet spots that the items can glitch into each other. Like a normal bed can have a desk clipping into the bottom half and that shower works above the toilet. It isn't super pretty but it CAN mid max incredibly.
i like the tiny living tv. a tv, a radio, and a bookshelf all in one? YES PLEASE!
You just gave me an idea. I’m gonna make a household of 8 sims who are all adults and never see each other because they all have random work schedules and see how quickly it stresses me out 😂
This challenge idea got so many ideas circulating in my mind that could work. If I had something to play Sims on I probably would try them out. Maybe I'll have to jot the ideas down for once I can
I am SO exited for Kayla to move to her new home. Im gonna miss her office.. but honestly i cant hide my excitement for the new house 🏠.
Love the ingenuity! Would you consider doing some sort of mod/1st person mode and touring some of your builds afterward? or following a Sim through? It's cool to see how it's built, but I think it would be super interesting to see more than just a bird's eye view
I'll be honest, I had to take a double take on the title and thought to myself "NO WAY" but HOLY cow. YOU DID IT! 😱
Hi
The absolute chaos that 8 Sims would cause in this micro house 😂😂😂
It would be fun to play this for an Asylum challenge (which would also let you ditch a bunkbed to meet the sleeping requirements). The double skill/relationship gain of a micro home, plus 8 autonomous sims... That's an idea.
Great job Simsie! I hope the move went well, I can’t wait to see the new house!
I actually did this before, and made a completely functional home, one was one story with 2 bedrooms and a bath and one had 2 floors :) also a Murphy bed really helps instead of the extra bunk

I love your tiny homes. They are the best!
a little thing i do when i build really small homes is that i use a minifridge and put a bookcase on top of it to save some space. i dont remember if you can cook on top of it or not, but if so, that saves a counter
Hey Kayla, I hope you and Dan and Snap and your family are in a safe area since the hurricane is going to florida. Stay safe everyone 🥺
Mad respect for sticking to the tile limit and making it look cute! Almost tempts me to try an 8 sim household here!... Almost lol And congrats on moving, hoping all goes/went well!
I think it would actually be really fun to attempt to play an asylum challenge in a house like this. You have eight people crammed into a tiny space, limited control, and while you may have enough beds and seating unlike in the original rules, that doesn't do much good with constant routing failures and noisy objects in the same room as all the beds!
I want to see Kayla use this with 8 sims 😂see how long it takes one to drown in a pond 😂😂😂😂😂
id quite like to see a small house (or whatever the biggest 'tiny home' option is) for 8 sims or maybe like 6 sims and two pets or something like that, so its a lot less of a challenge but everyone could actually have their own room and a lot more things could go in the house. you may have already done that but thats just an idea i had in case you havent
but you pulled this off really well i absolutely love the soft colour scheme on the inside and the outside looks really cute too! i think for this house less is more with the landscaping. i also hope you and dan and snap are all settling in to your new house
After visiting my bestie in AZ before the pandemic started, I can’t help but be disappointed that it’s not possible to properly recreate the colorful houses. TS4 doesn’t have that material in those swatches, for some reason. Vibrant pinks and greens and such. Gorgeous.
Makes trying to build in the desert a disappointment, tbh.
It's funny how different people prefer different numbers of sims. My current household has eleven sims (modded with MCCC), including six vampires lol. I'll probably keep growing the vamily until it's around twenty simultaneously, but tbd. After a while the elders kinda go on autopilot and there's not much management with them

Your ideas, creativity, and ability are beyond impressive! Love your videos!
I love watching your videos bc I used to play the sims all the time until I had to sell my laptop, I miss the sims but I’ll get it again one day
With the sims base game becoming free soon I would love to see some updated tutorials ex: how to use cheats, what cheats to use
It turned out surprisingly good! Not that a good build from you is ever really that surprising!
This feels very RV like on the inside! I love it
This reminds me of a summer camp. Like I can imagine a bunch of campers staying in a building like that
OH MY GOD YAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE NO CHEATS VERSION OF THIS FOR SO LONG IM SO GLAD
actually, i really like this house. it came out so cute
The layout of the beds kinda has the same energy as like a Camper's Cabin out at a summer camp in the woods
You can make a functional 1 tile bathroom. I've seen Kayla do it before and I don't understand why she hasn't done it since.
I’m guessing she forgot? That or she hated doing it so much that she “forgot.” I think I remember it, too: don’t you have to really futz with it to deal with the clipping & also make all the items actually accessible to your sim?
Kayla, I don't know if you've done this already, but you should try to do a video trying to get rich quick using only laundry, like how when you're done doing the laundry you can search the pockets and get money, try to do that.
I'd love to see that!
Its like a static caravan I love it!
I could watch lilsimsie do tiny/micro homes every day 🙏 it doesn't get boring!
This house actually reminds me a LOT of the first house me and my husband rented… besides the 4 sets of bunk beds
The landscaping was SO cute! Also, I'm surprised how well everything fit in the tiny space.
It would be really cool to see you build a tiny house that's inspired by the school bus living community! I want a skoolie so bad lol. They're very small houses but you'd be surprised how much you can actually fit!
My main save is big brother, so I nearly always have 8 Sims to one house. Until they get evicted. Granted I usually give them a mansion, but this may be an idea for the next season's house
Wow that's impressive that you managed that! You should do a video playing with 8 sims in this house.😀😀
you could put curtains in front of the bedframes or something to seperate the rooms maybe?
This house is like a dormitorie, and i feel nostalgic in a good way
What would make this impossible is having 8 sims in this house at the same time.
I think you should do this type of tiny home build again but make it luxury-as nice as possible with top of the line items. Like one of the Landgraab's had a secret tiny home somewhere to get away from the others LOL
Make a episode playing in this house with 8 Sims😂
So cool, love your take on building challenges! This could be the perfect house for "The Big Brother Challenge." Might try it hahah
If I'm gonna play with 8 Sims, I almost prefer a smaller space just so I can keep track of everyone lol! Love this build, Simsie!!
This micro build is inspiring me to make a family with the worst traits or combos possible and just watch the chaos and social discord ensue. It’s been a while since I’ve leaned into the old school Sims chaos we’ve all explored.
Love your micro home build so much ❤️ thank you for all the amazing content 😊
4:55 love how shes talking so casually while there's a guy in a hotdog costume bent over in the bed lol
This gave me an idea to place this house in strangerville and play a military career sim with military career roommates, and we save strangerville. omg thanks for the build.

I can built, can you?
Yes please never change the title 😂❤️

I remember Kayla filming in her dorm room, how far she has come!
the fact they haven’t added the shower head to basegame is really upsetting bc i don’t wanna have to buy one of the two most god awful game packs just for that one item
Can/do you use mods? Not sure if you need the pack, but there are similar showers on TSR. And Madhox has a build a shower kit
Stay safe during the hurricane!! ❤
I did this once, it took me 5 hours to figure out the design, and I only used base game and tiny living
not gonna lie, it looks like a summer camp cabin to me, haha. a ton of beds, somehow just one toilet for so many people, and the world's tiniest kitchen
