this house is so ‘70s … the disco ball , the burnt orange , the wood paneling , the conversation pit , the circles on the rug , pop art … my favorite build i think you’ve ever done
I 100% agree this build is one of my favourites too
I am always looking for styles like this in the sims and never see anything. Good addition to the gallery!
I love 70s houses. All it needs is a lava lamp
Yeah no fr this is so amazing its convinced me to immediately buy the kit
This house is beautiful, I love that she really went all out with it!
Might be unpopular but I found the items actually useful for making nightclub raves in a warehouse. Random glitter, neon lights, party lights. You definitely need university for keg stands to help further the vibe but it worked really well!
I think she meant it more in the way that while they’re great for parties and the like, you really have to think outside the box to work them into more casual builds. She’s thinking about it more from a “is this pack going to be something you use regularly” perspective for those who don’t buy many packs and want to know if it’s something worth buying. It’s definitely pretty versatile in the realm of different kinds of parties and events it can be used for. it’s just not necessarily something you’ll be building with all the time like some of the other packs are.
Totally great for that vibe. I wouldn't mind seeing more club builds!
steampunk vibe too. or rundown steampunk
some people also mentioned that this is more towards community lots or events - clubs, karaoke, prom, graveyard, arcade, gaming, etc. if in normal house, maybe a gaming room.
I made a party venue with a disco hall, a kids birthday party room, and a bar upstairs
That tile wall is so good for kitchen backsplash. All the kitchen wallpapers 'intended' for that don't go high enough! Or the pattern doesn't seem like tile or is mega busy. I love some basic tiny squares.
I'm still so pissed the parenthood tile doesn't go to the top of the wall, it looks even weirder on taller heights
a cc wallpaper version of it would be so good omg
I like legit thought it was one on first inspection
7:24 I use that "horrible" wall color all the time 😭 it makes a great accent wall!
my parents had that color accent wall in their living room growing up 😭😭 i think unfortunately the color went out of style for a little so im not surprised kayla isn’t crazy over it even though i love it
@@kelizabeth3061 yeah exactly like you said it has not been trendy lately. Although it has been before, which gave it the reach to be come a really popular staple choice in some areas like the southwestern US where I’m from 🤠 Kayla just has her blue suburban sensibilities and it’s quite a bold and saturated warm tone color for her, I can see why it wouldn’t align with her personal tastes and that’s totally ok.
I realized in 2015 when Pantone’s Color of the Year was Marsala, a faded maroon, that pinky-orangey-red colors tend to complement and bring out most every skin tone which is just so lovely! (Idk how well it that logic applies to alien and plant sims though!) Anyways that’s my 2 cents and then some ✌️
I think she just says it's horrible because she doesn't normally like orange in general
I love simsie but we all know she's allergic to fun funky colors LMAO
It used to be in fashion (at least where I live) in the early 2000s as an outside colour. I live in a place where the stone from the surrounding mountains have a little pink hue to them. They aren't like bright pink of course, they just have a warmer tone than simple gray. So a lot of the houses have pinkish stone foundations and they used this bright paint on the walls and it was wild, but I liked it.
I’m not sure you’ve ever made a limited pack build this colorful….and I’m kinda loving it tbh. Still won’t get this pack because it’s not worth it, but this build is really fun and feels different than your usual builds
Yes, i really like how colourful this build is. It's not too overly colourful too, just nice.
What kind of expansion pack do you want for sims 4?
@@second_second_ What kind of game pack do you want for sims 4?
You should so do a decades-inspired build challenge! You could start with a 50s style build, then 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s! Using no pack restrictions.
That would be SO cool! I’d def watch that
omg I would love that
"i think im going to use that dance floor, or the radio most often" -lilsimsie
also lilsimsie - *using that tile wall on every surface possible*
is this about to start a 70’s build era from simsie? 👀
MAN I HOPE SO ✨
we are in dire need of 70’s gallery content & this is perfect 😭
Maybe unpopular opinion: I actually like the kit. I love making little community set ups for parties💞
I haven't got it yet, but if you're enjoying it then that's good 😊
I think it would go great in the downstairs part of the Windenberg nightclub
I wasn't interested until I watched Lilsimsie's video yesterday. The things that stood out for me were the dance floor (for the same reasons that she said she liked it, although I do like the fancy dance floors for some builds), the tile wall things (yes! It's going to be great in kitchens), and the bar (which, for a change, doesn't have weird textures for all of the swatches. It does have some textures, but to have a plain bar is lovely!)
So, I bought the kit. (Fortunately, I had some birthday money set aside specifically for Sims things.)
And the MIRRORBALL🪩🩶
@@Xionarra LOL! That is one thing I doubt I'll ever use!
5:39 Honestly, if you made a second version of this house where you go through and use whatever you want from any pack, I'd watch that too. I'm absolutely loving the vibe so far so I'd love to see what it looks like fully to your vision, or as close as the Sims lets you get.
Also it's definitely not weird to have an urn on your fireplace or shelf, lol. That's exactly what they're for. Two of my uncle's and two childhood dogs live in decorated places on our bookshelf.
This is actually one of my favorite builds you've made, it has a lot of personality, I love the backpacks in the kids' rooms, the color scheme, everything about it, definitely doesn't seem like a base game + party kit build, it looks very polished and pretty!
I know Kayla won't see this, but a tip for anyone else that sees this, the balloons that go on the wall work like a curtain rod. Both of the types of streamers and the flat LED lights slot under it perfectly. Also, you can layer the LED light sheet, the both types of streams, and the backdrop poster with the balloons at the top, so that's 5 layers you can combine in any combinations, and the balloons tie it in to look cohesive. You don't need move objects to slot the layers.
wow
That's interesting
The peppa jumpscare thoooo hahahahahhaha
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING 😭😭😭💀
Hi I'm pepa *pig noise*
the urn reminds me of caryn and connie 😭
It’s great tho-
@@Tweazlier absolutely, love the urn
No fr it does
+
How could the Twitch chat not appreciate the glory of the urn!! I immediately thought of Caryn and Connie's channel and was chanting "urn, urn, urn, urn" when I saw it haha
+
Tbh the urn over the sofa is kinda a vibe,,,,my mom has at least one set of pet ashes in her kitchen, you’re absolutely right, they gotta go somewhere!
CARYN AND CONNIE HAVE PASSED DOWN THE URN CURSE!!!!!
LOLLL I THOUGHT OF THEM IMMEDIATELY TOO
+
My suggestion- use the party essentials kit to either improve the Auditorium lot for prom OR to build a roller rink or a bowling alley with a birthday party area using the pack for those items and the kit.
The dance floor myth comes from at least in part Satch on Sims, who tested it and wasn't able to dance on his UA-cam video. The option was greyed out in his video, but upon closer inspection, I'm quite confident it was greyed out because there was no music playing as he tried in a base game house without a speaker. His reviews are sometimes very single-minded, like he goes in with an agenda.
I find Pixelade awful for an agenda. He berates everything for clicks.
I watched his video too and i also misunderstood how the floor worked and thought it wasn’t functional. I don’t think he had an agenda to make the kit come off bad ( he actually like kits). It just didn’t function the way he was expecting it to and he was going through quickly so he could get the review out.
The “dance” feature works. The same way it works to dance when you click a stereo. However the group dance or dance skill are still locked. So really the dance floor doesn’t add anything new that wasn’t already in the base game.
@@user-pw6ol5ck1p No, I just think he jumps to conclusions and isn’t thorough once he’s made his mind up. That’s what I mean by an agenda. I don’t mean he’s nefarious. I just mean he knows what he thinks about the pack already and won’t explore further to give it a chance. I wouldn’t defend this pack anyway, but I get sick of this happening so frequently with him. He often makes videos without understanding how things work, then gets mad at them for being bad or useless. And it’s like, “dude. Google it. Isn’t this your job?”
@@sophiag612 I personally know that. Simsie shows it in this exact video, no? Rather, I’m explaining where I’ve seen that myth come about the dance feature supposedly not working in base game.
the confetti over the circle rug…. WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN ✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻
Worse thing about the Birthday cake, Is 'Age-up' and your Sim wants to run outside to age up, Like just do it where there's loads of space.... not outside.
They don't even need all that space, but they still do it. Annoying
My sims never run outside to age up, sounds like a weird glitch 🤔
@@Amity-park- It happens in builds with really tight spacing or the open space is taken up by clutter. It helps if you put the cake directly next to an empty 3x3 space indoors.
@@spacewolfcub oh well… that’s pretty typical of any sims thing that’s over cluttered in that case.
I try to keep at least one counter clear of any clutter for example, so my sims can actually cook/food prep on it.
My sims always run outside too, even the toddlers slowly toddle outside even when it's snowing
The fog machine is my invisible disco floor. I'd love to hide that in a bush or a potted plant next to a pond or pool to give the water that early morning fog.
Nice idea!!
How do you turn the fog on?
Is nobody going to mention the orange, brown, and teal color being Perry the platypus?
My great grandmother's ashes were kept in an upper cabinet of our kitchen for over 20 years. Her ashes were spread when I was in high school and it was a great way to be able to honor her. She had raised her kids (my grandpa and his brother) in the house and that was her dream kitchen and she would've thought it was a great idea (apparently!)
My mother passed away in November and her ashes remain with us. She loved her home and I still have her with me in a way.
Do you want a facial hair stuff pack?
@@rolandbaldwin Do you want EA to join with frog ware to make a Sherlock Holmes expansion pack with his most iconic outfits and all of the pipes he smokes as accessories?
'Grandpa has to go somewhere' killed me =D. This is so funny
i feel this pack could be good for a lot of things. i want to see someone make an arcade with it maybe even an indoor skating rink.
Yeah, i see the use for many of the items. I know a lot of people were disappointed with it. I personally think the clutter bothers me and the balloons look terrible. We would have been better off if they had gotten rid of those items and instead given us more wall heights. And instead one repeatsble clutter item. Like maybe a cluster of kazoos and confetti poppers that could be put multiple places in a party house.
yes! and internet cafe. karaoke. band performance stage. rundown steampunk. lounge. kids party. etc.
Caryn and Connie fans would NEVER complain about an urn. WE YEARN FOR THE URN
+
The house I lived in when I was in Florida for a year had a bathroom with 3 doors on it. Door to my bedroom, my brothers bedroom, and the family den. It was definitely weird to me. Every time you had to use that bathroom you had to lock all 3 doors.
You should do an every room is different kit challenge.
This is probably the coolest build ive ever seen from you, simsie! Im so freakin impressed! I love this
Peppa is sending me 😂😂
I saw that and was like why is peppa pig outside her house 🤨
I looked up to see the Peppa jumpscare im crying
Love how this turned out, the 70’s energy is so good 🤎🧡💚
“ definitely a party pack, but I’m not so sure abt the essentials part. “
Boom roasted
This yellow shirt is so cute!
hard agree on the urn thing, my grandma's is on a shelf above our living room tv. the urn itself is very pretty and we always bring her flowers 🤷🏽♀️ anything can be decor if you're not a baby about it
When simsie makes the very reasonable point that kits are expensive and if you’re only getting one or two there are others that are better to get…I’m super glad I make a grown up salary and can buy whatever DLC I want
I agree, but also good to remember that everyone has different likes and dislikes. For example Simsie has many kits I'll likely never buy, but this party kit I personally think is the best kit there is (also worth noting it's as big as a stuff pack and half the price!), so yes pick and choose don't feel you have to get them all, but pick and choose based on what you like not what someone else says you should get. Simsie is awesome, but it doesn't mean her opinions will always be the same as yours or mine :-)
the vanishing nail polish wasn't on my bug bingo card but it's kinda funny (for all that it's just a sign of how broken this kit is)
i hope snap is feeling better ❤
i saw this kit and immediately thought about nightclubs. it's got some perfect nightclub decor (the LEDs, the streamers, THE DISCO BALL???)
Thanks for all of your super detailed videos about all of the packs. It helps me to gauge which ones to buy, and which ones to avoid.
You’re amazing!! 🤩
This is probably my favorite build I’ve seen with the pack. It has such a natural layout and vibe.
The living room is giving 70s and I am obsessed!!!
I love Kayla's creativity and color harmony in the homes she builds. This house is definitely one of my favorites now.
I think this kit is perfect for someone like me who loves throwing parties irl, the dance floor and the backdrop for me are essentials.
The urn situation to me is hilarious bc in one of the other sims creator communities I follow (caryn and connie- mainly builders and super awesome! I highly recommend) we constantly bug them in twitch chat to add urns to builds for no specific reason other than well we simply yearn for the urn
This is so cool! I would love to see you doing a kinda 70s vibe nightclub 😍😍😍 I am so in love with the disco ball, I wanted this for agesss
omg i love this build so much. the rainbow wall paired w the orange green and brown is perfection. 🧡💚
Great build, Simsie!! I think something they could have done with the weird yogurt dispenser lol is if your sims could make a big batch of drinks at the bar, "carry" it over to the dispenser, and then have like 12 servings in there that sims could drink in little party cups. (Modders pls 😭)
the party kit is so nostalgic like 70’s i feel like. i’ve seen this theme in older movies and things like that i love the new kits and im glad everyone else is agreeing they like them
I think this is one of my favourite builds you've done! The mid century style is so gorgeous
Happy tortured poets dayyy!!!! I’ve been so excited anyone else?
Yaaaaay finally someone acknowledged it 😅
But why does the selfie wall actually eat as a backsplash tho
It's such a nice tile, I wish we could get a real wallpaper version!
i read the title and my first though was “no, but kayla will probably make it work”
I love this house, I might download it even tho I don't have the kit and just fill in missing spaces withother stuff that still fits the vibes. I'm obsessed with this 70's aesthetic in this
Literally stayed in a house last night with a Jack and Jill styled bathroom. I’ve seen them a few times in my life.
Also, glad to hear you agree that kits are expensive, I see a lot of Simmers online telling us that “they’re only 5 bucks” like everyone lives the same kind of life in the same country.
i actually love this house, its got very 70's disco era, looks like you could plug it into any Las Vegas neighborhood with Bob and Midge 70s Show type people in it
You have a knack for mid-century design. Would love to see you build more houses like this 💛
Lilsimsie is so awesome for finding a way for this pack to work normally. Truely a goddess!!
I love this house! I love the 70’s inspiration 😍 I actually think I’ll get this kit someday soon
one of my favourite builds you have ever done! so good!
I watch these builds and all I can think about is how I need a tutorial on how to manage the cameras, camera angles, and all the shortcuts to moving objects with such freedom/ease.
i watched the building of this live and it was so fun watching it come together. such a fun build!
I've had that bug w/the nail polish except it was with the stackable books in book nook
I really like this house ! You did such a nice job with it !
I saw this build on Twitch! It was so fun to see these new items used in so many fun and creative ways.
Kayla, i LOVE this build! One of your best to be honest! It came out great
this house is so adorable!! i love the midcentury vibe and the colour scheme
This is SUCH an incredible build Simsie❤❤ it’s so colorful and interesting to look at🎉
The house looks so good actually. Love the vibe!!
loved this build!!
The house turned out great! After seeing your review video yesterday, I did decide to get this kit. But I do like decorating for parties and holidays!
I had no intention to buy the kit, but Kayla just made it look so good, I changed my mind 😂
I love it. I wish you could put a cake anywhere and be able to age Sims up. Perhaps the idea of it not working on a cake stand is toddlers couldn't reach it when they can when on the counter. Who knows but it's annoying to have to put a cake in a certain spot just for birthday candles. lol. I like the pack and will buy I'm sure.
The dance floor has no point in the base game, you can dance near music anyway. This makes sense in a pack with dance moves because then you can perform dances with any floor (since it's invisible). If anything this pack should've come with a visible dance floor with the "dance" option so your sims are positioned on the dance floor while dancing. It's other fog option has the fog machine for it anyway. An invisible dance floor without extra dance moves is a redundant object.
the layout of this build is so good!
I wasn't expecting to like this kit when it was announced but you've convinced me with this lol, i'm such a sucker for mid century modern houses. I love the bar, the record player, and that TV I'm definitely gonna use those CONSTANTLY
Love seeing some funky colors in a Simsie build!
It turned out fabulous! Also, that urn is a vase and I will die on that hill. I put it with flowers so many times in my builds!
this build is sooo cute!!!!
I love it when you make one level houses! Then I actually play in them. Imma def download this and redecorate (since I don't have the kit). I literally never use multi-floor homes in the sims :)
Video idea: Simsie goes back to that gamer house she just built and renovates it to add the new LED stuff from the party kit!
the invisible dance floor sold me on this pack tbh. also your videos showing off the items and all these builds you’ve been doing!
I like both kits. I’ll buy them tomorrow. This house you built is very nice.
Okay okay...why do I really love this house sm? It's so cool, it feels really fine and cozy the same time ✨
One of my favorite builds of yours ❤️
My legacy sims are living in it 😅
Tbh this video single handedly made me wanna buy this kit. They don't market them well at all! I had no idea these things could be used like this.
This style of house is beautiful
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
It's one of (in not) my favourite buildings of yours! It turned out amazing and I love the colours
i actually love how this house turned out!! :)
I would love to see you do like a prom set up at the auditorium with all the new stuff. I feel like it would really fit.
I really liked the bold choice of colors, I know you usually don't use fancy and bright colors anywhere that's not the children's room, so its so cool to see them being used elsewhere❤ Also I'm a base game green toilet stan🐸
ngl one of my favourite series on this channel is trying to build normal houses with these random ass packs
countdown to two million subscribers, kayla! I'm so excited
I was so excited when it dropped yesterday because it was my birthday! Treated my self to the kits! 😂😊
I'm losing it at the pool tile reveal I missed it in the speed build part lmaossfjksjvc you've actually made this pack look really good here ngl
Also when Peppa Pig first appeared omg I yelled
I hadn't watched this channel in a while just because of life but you're so funny and such a comforting person to watch I'm so glad I found my way back
ngl this might be one of my favorite simsie builds!!!
Love the '70s vibe!
you kinda ate with this one
another build style outside of simsies comfort zone❤️❤️ shes grown so much😊😊
