I know this would be a lot to ask from Kayla, as she does so many builds, but I also had the idea of her maybe making a Granite Falls wedding venue, and maybe a cabin specifically for going on honeymoons or romantic getaways.
@@noroticSimsie has made an outdoor retreat wedding venue! It’s dates before the release of wedding stories and is called “cowplant wedding farm” It’s on a 40x30 lot and is a lounge venue type 🙂
This would actually make a really cool series! You could do Get Together, Spa Day, and Perfect Patio! 😂 And so on! I think it would be pretty cool to watch them slowly get better and better, and see if you can combine them all together nicely, and how each combo turns out! It would be a long build series, but I personally think it’s a pretty cool idea!😁
@ thanks! 😁 Yea, I think it would be a great way to show people more of the older packs, bc like she said, people tend to build and use the newer packs more. And I think it would be good for people new to the sims community to be able to see the packs more!
i got outdoor retreat about 3 years ago and, honestly, i really love it. i love using natural wood decor and the guitar from outdoor retreat is the best one in the game 100%. my only issue is that the world isn't residential, but at least we got a world at all.
I wanted to build a gas station convenience store and found out even with debug/live edit there aren't any gas pumps that aren't attached to an entire fake building/overhang. So I started making a corner store and I keep running into things that are missing. They so need more community type lot items, even just some good, simple, long overhead lighting that isn't visually distracting. Things like wheelchair ramps, any kind of sloped ramp instead of stairs, fluorescent overhead lights that aren't in the way, more things like magazine racks (we have one), hand dryers, better arcade cabinets, etc. I feel like every time I do a build I pick something that doesn't exist in the Sims 4. My last build was a bike repair and rental shop that was bee themed, apparently there's only 1 bike item (repair kit), the only bike racks are debug, and there's only 2 bee imagery related items IIRC. 😂 Coat racks! We need more coat racks and wall hanging stuff. Also personally feel like build buy could use a revamp, even just add some better tags for searching.
It's not functional, but you can use a roof to make a wheelchair ramp, though making a railing for it that looks reasonable takes either some creativity, the TOOL mod, or CC.
You know I thought you would build futuristic house because of luxury party stuff pack and aliens from get to work. They have got similar colour scheme and you could match outdoor retreat to those packs. I thank it would be easier🙃❤️
I love the luxury stuff lamp! It looks so good beside a big bookshelf, or in corners or even flanking the entryway, like whenever you do not want a plant but something tall the lamp is perfect. And i often use it as a splash of color, like a darker room gets the white one or the red one, a brighter room gets the black one, it works nice as bith decor and light. I love this cabin you build, looks so cozy! ♥
I think it would be cool to do a completely unlimited cabin build, no budget, no pack restrictions, just build the most extra "glamping" cabin you've ever seen.
I've commented this before on one of James's videos but a lot of the parks are really starting to show their age not just in terms of how much stuff and gameplay is in them compared to newer parks but also in terms of graphics, textures and colours like it isn't just oh this item screams 2014... now it's more like oh this item looks really bad quality and unfinished... when put next to a new pack's stuff. For example: there's a log bench from Horse Ranch that looks like what Outdoor Retreat's log furniture wanted to be but doesn't due to the Sims team not really knowing what they were going for at the time so that log bench and pretty much all of Horse Ranch makes Outdoor Retreat just look so bad in compares. Btw I say all of that as someone who loved Outdoor Retreat when it came out and still uses it a lot both for building and gameplay.
I remember watching simsie's builds back in the day and wanting to get luxury party just for the ottoman and barstool 😂 to be fair! when I finally got the pack I used them quite a bit cuz build mode didn't have much else back then!
This video reminded me how much I DESPISE get to work build/buy. Even when I build community lots now it's literally easier to use items from other packs because they blend in with items. The only things I regularly use from this pack are the soap dispenser and hand towels for public bathrooms.
Ok, but why do I actually kinda love the stuff that comes with Outdoor Retreat?😅 The style and vibes of all the items are so perfect and cozy! I honestly really like the build stuff tbh lol
Fun fact, at home my family has like a cabin cabin. Middle of nowhere, mountain top, off grid, the real deal. Well my step dad also worked at a hospital. And they were redesigning a wing and getting rid of furniture and supplies, so we took them! Our woodsy retreat was then practically fully furnished by the Get To Work pack. I'm talking chairs, sofa, drop ceiling panels, lights, sinks, just so much 😂 better than a landfill!
even though the pack is showing its age, i really like outdoor retreat. i enjoy the gameplay and think the items are cute (though not the same quality as in later packs). i like get to work mostly for the scientist career, but the build/buy is trying to do so many different things that it's rarely fun to build with. btw, you forgot that get to work came with magnolia promenade + the 3 work lots + sixam! even so, it's nowhere near as good as windenburg haha
I quite like Magnolia Promenade. It has nice inter lot items, jungle gym, collectibles and such and I put things like a gym, spa, restaurant and other community type lots so I don’t have to waste lots in other worlds since you have to “travel” anyway. I actually think it’s a better world than some of the newer ones as there is no wasted space!
I love a lot of the build things in outdoors retreat. Mostly the furniture. Now I want to build a cabin to celebrate winterfest in. Will father winter find your sim if they are on vacation?
for 3 super not similar packs this looks really good!! it’s so cohesive . I think if you wanted more luxury party you could go all out and do like an alien party cabin on sixam haha, I feel like the glow bar would work with the weird alien stuff
Hey lilsimsie! I've got a potential build video idea for you! What about exploring if other packs and base game content could sufficiently replace a given pack. For example can other content outside of Outdoor Retreat help you create a build that feels quintessentially Outdoor Retreat vibes. I think it would be interesting especially for these earlier packs like you're exploring in this video but then you could discuss perhaps newer items you discover as you build that may be a good replacement for Outdoor Retreat items. Wonder what you'd find, would the newer items be better than what we originally had in Outdoor Retreat (for example)? Or conversely are there build items from Outdoor Retreat that are so unique and specific that there are not any good replacements, thus making the given pack perhaps essential for a given build type. If anything it might just be a fun build challenge - Make Outdoor Retreat build without Outdoor Retreat... - Make Horse Ranch build without Horse Ranch.. - Make Vampires build without Vampires... who knows maybe this isnt a new idea. lol Anyway fun video to watch thanks for doing you! 🙃
This was so enjoyable to watch I loved seeing some of the older pack items I forgot some of them existed as well, you did a great job combining the packs 😊
I hope I am not the only one who was grinding their teeth that the fire extinguisher was ABOVE the fireplace, so if (realistically speaking) the place that will frequently handle fire begins to burn, you couldn't reach it 😂😂
The best thing about luxury party stuff is the lights. Can use the one wall light as a fake backlight. And the one swirly floor lamp looks like flames or blades of grass depending on the light color you use. Need to shrink them down for both obviously You need to get two of the square wall lights because in the center they light up the TV weird. So you can have two different colors hiding behind your TV or decorative wall decal. But man I hate that they don't even match eachother. One light is all primary colors, the other has teal so you can't even match them in the one pack.
I feel like a nightclub could utilise both luxury party and get to work decently well, though I'm not sure how much outdoor retreat you'd use
Місяць тому
You should keep this idea going, using the next packs on the list, like whatever expansion, stuff and game pack were released after these tree and so on. I think that would be fun.
Build challenge idea: you have to build a house one room at a time, cannot move on to the next room until the previous one is done. Once you move on, the last room can't be changed!
Y’a know as much as these pacts suffer from being outdated style wise (plus like lack of pixels etc), outdoor retreat built mode holds up. Especially for like rags to riches and off the grid challenges. Outdoor retreat remains a star.
Get to work is so much unused potencial. If you are sick you could go to the hospital, when you are fighting there could be police comming for you or the best carrier, scientist also lacks in gadgets that you can create. Outdoor retreat is not that bad, I actually thinks it's pretty good. And Luxury party is... just is.
Hey Simsie! I love your builds. I know you’ve said you dont use Custom Content because you want your builds to be available for anyone, and i know console players cant get CC, however, i just wanted to ask if you’d do a CC build even just one time or only on a Stream? I’m sure many of your subscribers would still love to see the build even if they cant download it. You do acknowledge when you do builds with nearly all, if not all, of the Sims packs and how most people cant afford all of them so doing a CC build would kinda be the same thing. ❤❤❤
I think, short of making a modern-cabin hybrid, with like a window wall living area, there wasn't a way to make the Luxury Party items work with the other two.
Kayla should use outdoor retreat and love struck to make a romantic getaway
omg YES
Agreed!!
+ romantic garden stuff could be cute!!! then you have exp + game + stuff pack
I know this would be a lot to ask from Kayla, as she does so many builds, but I also had the idea of her maybe making a Granite Falls wedding venue, and maybe a cabin specifically for going on honeymoons or romantic getaways.

I absolutely love the sweater shes wearing like oh my god
it looks like that red swatch on the cats & dogs bed 😭😭❤️ i love ittt
@irlhuckleberry IT SO DOES‼‼
She literally looks so cute and matches the background so well!!! 😭😭
i came from youtube on the tv to youtube on my phone just to comment the same thing lol it’s such a cute sweater
i didnt know my 9 yr old self was being scammed with magnolia promenade 💀
you were NINE when get to work came out??? Ohmygod im old 😭
@@princessjellyfish98 i was 14 when the sims 4 came out :)
dear god i was 14 too! WHERE DID THOSE 10 YRS GO?
@@princessjellyfish98 same. and to add to the feeling of being old, this person who was 9 back then is already probably 18 today XD
Oh no!! Am old 😱
I still remember when the Sims 1 came out 😅 I got it as a "toy" in my Happy Meal....
Outdoor Retreat reminds me of all of simsie's old lets plays, I remember when that pack dropped and she took EVERYONE camping 😂
I REMEMBER!!😭 Omg that's really how we know we OG'S. Good lil trip down memory lane!
I was literally begging you to use the artist bed with the Van Gogh sunflowers in the bedroom. It's such an underrated item. 😭

the interior layout gave me so much nostalgia from your original 100 baby challenge with the barn and the loft space up top 😭😭
oh my god i thought i was the only one who immediately thought of that haha
@avajosephine2645 right? i’m glad i’m not the only one lol

"I don't wanna put this thing" excuse me that THING is BUDDY THE BELLHOP
well, more like parts of him 😭
Love your openness towards progressive thinking and action. You have a huge influence and love that you don’t take it for granted.
I kid you not, this might be one of my favorite build's you've done recently! It's nice to see that these packs are to some extent, saved.
Love your sweater
Luxury cabin is such a good vibe. Take all the sims glamping

Would love to see build with only packs that were free once like those two kits or jungle adventure!❤
my first pet, romantic garden and backyard stuff were all free too
@@i3qyiblooming room kit too!!
@@goatgirl1998 yeah ik but they mentioned kits
im loving the sweaters in the last few videos c:

I got my recap from youtube this year. Simsie was my top youtuber, and I was in the top 0.2% of her viewers, lol.
Love you, Simsie ❤
ngl, I was hoping for a steamboat on the fireplace
Definitely one of your best uploads yet!
Ok, but why do I actually kinda love the stuff that comes with Outdoor Retreat?😅
The style and vibes of all the items are so perfect and cozy! I honestly really like the build stuff tbh lol
Kayla is so pretty in this video. Her hair and skin are glowing !

I love the sweater that Kayla's wearing. It's giving cozy autumn vibes.
Building an outdoor retreat cabin with the horse pack sounds fun!
Absolutely love your sweater, hope you have a sweater weather to go with it. In northern Poland it snowed today. Have a great day 😊
It's okay to have different rocks don't fret 15:37
i saw your post about leaving twitter and i dont blame you AT ALL, that place is a hellscape now

- Make Outdoor Retreat build without Outdoor Retreat...
- Make Horse Ranch build without Horse Ranch..
- Make Vampires build without Vampires...
who knows maybe this isnt a new idea. lol
Anyway fun video to watch thanks for doing you! 🙃
i feel like i remember something similar on Syd Mac's channel a while back! she's another great sims builder for random challenges like this!
Surprisingly outdoor retreat is onenof my favorite to play, I send most of my aims there at some point with their expanded family
Side note, this color your wearing is really flattering
I’m tempted to buy Outdoor Retreat on sale just to get the foundation. There are so few foundations in The Sims 4!
This was so enjoyable to watch I loved seeing some of the older pack items I forgot some of them existed as well, you did a great job combining the packs 😊
Seeing luxury party stuff in the catalogue suddenly makes me feel great about the current kits & their pricing
you should try only combining the newest ones with the oldest ones and see if you can match them!
And once again Kayla makes the weirdest things work and even makes it look really good
I'm a classic guy, I just enjoy everything in the game.
I love your sweater Kayla!!
Nice Sweater, Kayla, it's super autumn
I'd love to see some more builds with older packs like this, it's a fun challenge.
This actually turned out so nice. I love it!
I use the little table from the miscellaneous surfaces category as a coffee table for tiny house builds. it works great that way!
Glad you joined bluesky 😊
I hope I am not the only one who was grinding their teeth that the fire extinguisher was ABOVE the fireplace,
so if (realistically speaking) the place that will frequently handle fire begins to burn, you couldn't reach it 😂😂
Okay but why does outdoor retreat and get to work inspire me to make a camping supply store
The best thing about luxury party stuff is the lights. Can use the one wall light as a fake backlight. And the one swirly floor lamp looks like flames or blades of grass depending on the light color you use.

But man I hate that they don't even match eachother. One light is all primary colors, the other has teal so you can't even match them in the one pack.
Please try a build with all the dlc that ever had been free!❤ At this point EA gave a few for limited time but it would be fun to watch
I feel like a nightclub could utilise both luxury party and get to work decently well, though I'm not sure how much outdoor retreat you'd use
You should keep this idea going, using the next packs on the list, like whatever expansion, stuff and game pack were released after these tree and so on. I think that would be fun.
A Gothic bowling alley would be fun, maybe Warren could get engaged there!
luxury party has some good cas. edit: and butlers
Butlers are another stuff pack : vintage glamour.
Absolutely wild to me to have that gorgeous fireplace and no seating facing it directly to stare into the fire. 😂
Build challenge idea: you have to build a house one room at a time, cannot move on to the next room until the previous one is done. Once you move on, the last room can't be changed!
Outdoor Retreat and Get To Work have the potential for Alien Scientist Getaway Cabin vibes.
I love your limited pack builds please do more ❤
A layout with a bathroom door opening directly onto a bed placed on a staircase landing is something else entirely
Y’a know as much as these pacts suffer from being outdated style wise (plus like lack of pixels etc), outdoor retreat built mode holds up. Especially for like rags to riches and off the grid challenges. Outdoor retreat remains a star.
When she brought up alien landscaping, my mind instantly went “Alien Cabin”. That’s a different idea. 😂
Thanks to this video I just remembered I was going to build a cabin inspired by cabins I used to stay in growing up.
I feel like a story for this could be a bunch of rich nerds go on a camping retreat
I just love your builds!
Obsessed with your sweaterrr❤
I think there should be a rule that you can't use any base game, unless it wouldn't make the house bare bones functional lol. Adds a fun challenge
Definitely going to use this guild ❤thank you❤

The yellow was perfect!!!!
This reminds me of my days in Girl Scouts going camping at the lodges.
Love this cabin! 💜
Vid idea: same house but one decorated with your 3 least favorite packs and the other with your 3 favorite packs
I think the house came out looking pretty good!😁👍
It would be funny if she'd put a secret basement full of luxury party glam stuff 😄
Kayla dont lie u love that get to work lamp its in almost every build haha
love ur sweater!
What if you spin a wheel to pick an old pack and then spin for a new pack and you have to make a build with incorporating both?
Might be fun to do a build where you only use packs from this year!
