As a boy growing up in the Midwest, playing with Barbies got me in a lot of trouble. With my friends, with my family, especially with my dad. One of my earliest memories is using my Christmas money to buy myself a bubble spouting mermaid Barbie. I had to keep her secret from my parents, but she was definitely my favorite toy for years to come. This build made me very happy, Kate 💚
I am so sorry you got into trouble! I am so happy you still got to enjoy Barbie and got yourself the mermaid Barbie! I also had mermaid Barbies and an Ariel one, I always kept them near the bathtub so when I took a bath I was playing with them. Thank you for sharing your Barbie memories :)
Everyone has a preference when it comes to toys. Dolls are generally marketed to girls because of the appeal but it doesn't mean boys aren't allowed to play with it either. It's Sad what happened to you.🙁
Thank you so much for this build. My daughter has been asking me for months to have a house in my sims save and I could never seem to find just the right one for her. She is 8 and her absolute favorite thing is Barbies. So with supervision i guess its time to let her dive in with this home as her first ever sims play!
If you are on the computer : you can go in game and press the keyboard keys - Ctrl and Shift and C - and then type: testingcheats true - and then type: death.toggle : doing that disables all deaths in the game! I have an enjoyment of all the Sims, each unique and special; so I have a specific gameplay that has no deaths and no aging - - the game never ends in that mode! All the Sims stay the same age and never die, ever! I didn't know if you've ever heard of the ingame developer's console, so I explained it as simple as possible. Being a brain damaged military Veteran; makes being super simple second-hand to me, so I'm pretty good at that! You can also do some "Googling" and look up all the features of the developer's console in The Sims 4. The developer's console is something used when designing the game and testing it; but they left it in the game. It includes the ability to type: money - and whatever amount you want, and "poof" your Sims have that amount! It also gives access to the Reset unresponsive Sims features, by Shift-clicking Sims with the "cheats" activated. I don't think of it as "cheating;" because a lot of times I must have that reset feature to 'unfreeze' unresponsive Sims a lot, and I use it to make fictional stories by changing households to match the story ideas that I have! Maybe that would be a good idea for an eight year old; to prevent aging and deaths? I know how to swap the save folder, so I have different gameplays; and, my most relaxing one is the one where everything stays "perfect" - and no Sims suddenly die, because I toggled it off in the developer's ingame console on the computer! : - )
Oh, I forgot to also mention : that using the Shift-click options available through developer commands - All the Needs for the Household or even the whole world can be totally disabled!! Making Sims like Toys, that's like the best way to have unrealistic Fun! I too enjoy that sometimes when just wanting to relax and enjoy the unique world of The Sims. So making use of the developer's console on computer can add so much to the base game without using any mods at all! I hope that this advice is found to be helpful.
I love this! I’m actually obsessed with how pink it is, it brings me so much joy! As a fellow Barbie enjoyer, this spoke so perfectly to all the Barbie-loving parts of me!
Love it! I played nonstop with my Barbies as a child of the 80s. I had a hand built mansion that my step dad made and my mom furnished with linoleum, carpet, closets, the works. It had real lights and all. I remember when he was building it, he kept telling me he was making him a toolbox 😂🤦🏽♀️. I was so surprised. For the past 25 years I have been collecting them, from the collector site, so I have a lot. And I buy my niece a nice collector every year on her birthday, so she now has a nice collection.
Wow, a hand built mansion, how special! :) What an absolutely lovely surprise and such a special memory and moment. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us!
This looks exactly like the show. Also I’m pretty sure both me and my sister (who is 10 years younger) had at least half these Barbie furniture items. Like that massive curved couch etc. Haha love it
I was so exited when I saw you did a barbie build. I really love the energy in barbie movies cause it just makes me so happy, every time I'm feeling down I just open UA-cam and start watching Barbie life in the dream house and then I'm suddenly a happier person :)
Out Of All The Sim Builders On UA-cam I Wouldn't Of Thought Kate Emerald Would Do A Barbie House But Here We Are & I Love It Plus I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world Life in plastic, it's fantastic
Have you ever thought about doing the solid color challenge with one of your mansions? I absolutely love this build and would love to see one similar but in all blue or something like that. Thank you for the amazing content as always!
@@KateEmerald *Make Barbie Beach House from Barbie Perfect Christmas and Fairy Secret PLEASE! A house in the mountain with a infinite pool with a waterfall. 🥺🙏🏻🥰.*
My favourite Barbie movie was The Princess and the Pauper. I also had the CD for the soundtrack from that movie and I used to force my mum to play it all the time in the car; didn't matter if it was a short drive or a road trip, I would sing my heart out in the car and pretend I was actually the Barbies singing in the movie and would try to do all the roles at once. Also, this is such an amazing build! Honestly, I love the million different shades of pink as it's one of my favourite colours (my other two are purple and grey). You always do so good with your builds, and it's always cool to see you try something a little different. Stay awesome! 💕
I watched your barbie caravan video and knew i had to watch this one and will be watching the boat next. I absolutely ADORE this,! Pink is my favorite color and I loooved barbie as a kid. I had so much barbie stuff when I was a kid, I played with my bestfriends all the time. I never had any of the houses but I had a ton of furniture for the houses like kitchen stuff, livingrooms,bedrooms etc. Was always a blast. I remember my one friend and I would always pretend our barbie family would have to travel and we'd each use our cars and then set up "camp" in different places wherever we were playing,,, such good times lol. My love for sims probably comes from my love for barbies lol. I love this mini series so much :)
Oh I was sooo obsessed with barbie. I owned so so many barbies and I loved all the barbie movies. The princess and the pauper was my favorite one and I had both of the singing barbies from it, I got them for christmas and I was the happiest child. When i was supposed to sleep I sneaked out and into the living room to play with them again under the christmas tree. It was so magical
Wow, I had no idea there were singing Barbies :) I never watched the movies so I had no idea. And what a lovely Christmas memory! Thank you so much for sharing this. How amazing that we have such a similar memory, playing with Barbies under the Christmas tree. Magical!
@@KateEmerald I think I had 3 singing barbies and they were the most precious things I owned. They had a button on their back and when you pressed it, they started playing a snippet of their song in the movie! Ah with this speed build you triggered a core memory in me! 😅❤️
This is next level building! I'm jealous, I wish I had more knowledge on how to properly use the building aspect more because I'd love to create some of the things I've seen built here, I should just devote some time and practice with the tools, really wish the game came with tutorials on how to use them
I loved Barbie so much, I always watched "Barbie-Life in the Dreamhouse" and I also played with the Doll of course. I got one from my Grandma at Christmas, when my Family and me traveled to Canada to celebrate there. I can remeber myself laying in front of the chimney and dressing my Barbie on and off. By the way, I'm also from Germany😊
I only ever watched two Barbie movies as a child and it took me until adulthood to discover the Barbie Dreamhouse series, but those two Barbie movies are such an instrumental part of my childhood. I still love re-watching them! I also was huge into Barbie dolls; I remember when they came out with horses and riding sets I was genuinely so excited and had to immediately invite my friends over to play with them with me. Anyway this brought up a lot of fun memories!
My pink dreams have finally been realized!! 💕 Gonna move my sim in as soon as I’ve downloaded all the packs necessary to get the full experience from this *beautiful* build.
This has to be my favorite build you’ve ever done bc I’m obsessed with Barbie and Bratz dolls. Lol I will be placing this. My favorite Barbie memory is my dad buying me a Barbie every birth. He would take me to the toy store and get me any Barbie I wanted. My mom wouldn’t let me open the ones she bought me though. Lol thank you for this. It’s beautiful and you did such a awesome job with the inside. 💖💖
@@KateEmerald Aww thank you and that’s awesome! Well my mom would let me open the ones my dad bought me but she wouldn’t let me open the ones she got me to collect them. She still has them till this day and I’m 33. 😂
I love you Kate Emerald I've learned so much watching your videos,and you have improved my builds significantly as a result. Thank you. I was struggling with a castle build using the curved walls I loved the way it was structured but only the modern windows looked good on the curved walls and the windows on the rest of the build were more medieval styled. Your trick of using the wainscoting saved the day. Thank you again. I was getting so frustrated with the windows until I watched this video.....
Wow! Love it! I had barbies up till I was 16 then they got lost in a move. I had a few from Germany from when my dad was station over there in the 80s. My girls grew up on Barbie, but they arent the same as they use to be.
Wow, what a beautiful build! It really has the Barbie vibes. I LOVE Barbie dolls and Disney Princess dolls! I was not allowed to have Barbies but that never stopped me from buying some of them in secret. I kept a lot of mine and I still collect them to this day. I remember playing out these big soap opera type dramas or trying to recreate movie scenes. Lots of fun times. ❤️
Would love your take on re creating the high school musical high school ! (If you didn’t know it’s a hs in real life, you can look up interior pictures of it.) You’re one of my favorite sims builders. Your creativity is actually amazing.
What an another incredible build by you Kate! You are so incredibly talented. I was obsessed with Barbie growing up, played with Barbie until I was about 12, I still have some of my barbies, I gave them to my daughters, and now youngest is starting ti grow out of barbie, it makes me sad.
Thank you so much! :) I still have mine as well, my parents have stored them in the basement and they're still at their house. Same with Polly Pocket, I am so glad that I still have them. How amazing that your daughters got to enjoy your beloved Barbies. So special :) It's sad that they're growing out of Barbie but you've surely made some very special memories together and share your love for Barbie. Just like we're reminiscing of Barbie right now they'll do the same later
Pink is my absolute favorite color so this is the type of house I've been dreaming of for the sims!! It makes me wanna jump on the game right now & make Barbie & her sisters in CAS!! I always loved playing with Barbies!! I'm 29 now so I don't really get to play with the newer ones but I have to say I'm so happy they finally changed the body types & gave them more diversity! I played Polly Pockets & Bratz too! I was already an adult When Monster High Dolls became a thing, but if there was a build from there I'm sure you'd make it look so awesome!! I absolutely love your content 😍 I only wish that I could build as amazing as you! Also, I play on console so I'm rather limited!! Thank you for my dream sims home❤
OMG! This is so amazing!! I absolutely love the exterior. It caught my eye when I was scrolling for videos to watch. You have such great ideas and are an amazing builder! Xx
I was turning 3 in 1986 or 87 and invited my whole preschool class. I got the whole set of Barbie and the Rockers that year, plus the new Business Barbie complete with fax machine and Happy Birthday Barbie. I passed those dolls on to my daughter last year.
Aw you made me emotional...i was obsessed with Monster High back then and I have similar memories to christmas eves; I'd always get dolls too. ugh, so nostalgic, i sometimes wish I could go back in time Edit: omg any chance you could build the monster high school?! :0
I had a Barbie movie collection when I was younger and I looooved to pretend I'm a princess. My favourite was Rapunzel and 12 dancing princesses. 10 years later I'm on my way to transitioning with Barbie being my first realisation :) i'll always have fond memories of Barbie
wow, i'm simply speechless. this is fenomenal house and i think Barbie would be grateful happy to live here. dream mansion for her and somebody who loves pink!
@@KateEmerald this has given me a new challenge idea. The Barbie challenge lol Set your game to long lifespan, do your best to recreate barbie and ken. Live in this house and do every career, getting at least one promotion before you move on. You would choos the Renaissance sim aspiration and could never have children lol
@@KateEmerald Thanks so much for replying to me! Can’t wait for your next live stream. I go back to school in a week, so I’ll probably miss it:( Oh btw I’m not into barbies (im a 12 year old boy 🤣) ok I have this blanket that I’ve had since I was a baby and still sleep with him to this day!
I love this it reminds me of playing with Barbies as a kid. I always wanted a Barbie doll house, but we were poor so I ended getting a used one that was falling apart, but I still loved it. I also played with Bratz and MyScene dolls. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again, but my life is much better now. Thank you Kate it’s really beautiful. 😄
Been binge watching ur channel this week and im so impressed by how creative and mind blowing u are!!! I have been playing the sims for almost 9 years but its embarrassing of how stiff i am in buildings..Yall create masterpieces! Love your videos Kate, new sub !💚
I used to have a barbie that came with a baby Keiko orca and orca’s are my favourite so I used to love this doll and the whale so much 🥹🥹 loved making all sorts of stories with my dolls 🙏🏻
omg I remember this one! I am not sure if I had this one or my neighbor! We were friends and played together with Barbies. and OMG I LOVE ORCAS SO MUCH! I am obsessed with them, my dream is to see one in the wild one day, all happy and free :) Thanks for sharing this with us
this is such a beautiful build!! hearing you talk about your experiences with barbie really brings me back to when i was little watching barbie as rapunzel and barbie in the nutcracker over and over again, thank you so much for sharing 💕
Yesssssssssss I'm so excited! Thank you for doing such a childhood home! One of my favorite builders 👷♀️ I am so so SO excited to play in this. Thank you! 😊
You say you’re not good at recreating houses but I recognized this from the thumbnail immediately!! Looks great it’s so fun 🤩 Also that palm tree always looked fake to me too lol
This is amazing Kate. Maybe you could build a smaller house to be the neighbour of Barbie. The House could be mostly white with the pink accents, so you could have the pink windows.
While I was a senior in high school we had to create a video of what we read in this book. My friend and I decided to create the book with my Barbies!!! (Yes, I had them in my room still, tho I didn't play with them). That was the funniest video, especially when we played the video in front of the class. (We even did a commercial half way thru) Got an 'A' for our presentation!! 🤪
Such a fun build, great job! 😊 I was never that into Barbie, but I was obsessed with Bratz dolls. I remember begging for new ones every birthday and Christmas. 😂
I also think that it would be awesome.... If you created mansions for the Not So Berry Challenge🍓!!! Every house per generation is a different color, starting with Mint 🌿. Just an idea or two. A mansion for 100 mermaid baby challenge! 😇
Thank you so much! :) I've started to look into the challenge but did I get it right that the color only has to be present in the build and it's not 100% mint for example? So other neutral colors would be allowed (Such as white)? :)
Yes, this would be such a fun build series to see from you! I've seen people use the color in different ways, but based on the rules I would say that you are correct Kate :) When I built one for fun, I took inspiration from the color and also from the generation guidelines, but I wanted it to actually look good too lol so I definitely used a lot of other colors.
I used my bedroom closet ikea-like shelves as apartments for my barbies. I'd take all my clothes out of the shelves and decorate each box differently. This did lead to a messy room but I had too much fun playing.
I was also a kid in the 90's in Germany :) But I never liked Barbie... I had some, but they weren't my favorite. I loved Diddl, Polly Pocket and Lego when I was a kid. And later I really really disliked dolls. But nooow... I'm 36 years old and am collecting Rainbow High dolls and am sooo obsessed with them. Haha ^^' So it was really fun to watch you building this house and hearing about your love for your Barbie dolls as a child.
I think we were in the same era, we just missed the age of the Barbie movies. But in the 90s though... Barbies, Polly Pockets (the actual small ones you could fit in your pocket), and Easy Bake Ovens were everything! As well as at least one Nerf gun if you had a sibling, for totally innocent reasons... yup totally innocent. 😅 Anyways, this looks great! Definitely the pink explosion I expected it to be! Pink is not my favorite color & never has been so irl I wouldn't live here but 7 year old me... I'd absolutely live out my Barbie fantasies here! PS~ since you mentioned it, I'd love to see another CC build
Hey Kate. Well....it's definitely pink, no doubt about that. 😆 It's too garish for me but it's still a detailed, beautiful build. I can just imagine the younger kids making Barbie and Ken woo-hoo in the master bedroom.
Thank you so much! :)) It's definitely a lot haha but I had so much fun building it. Something colorful and different for once! :D Hope you're doing well happy weekend :))
@@KateEmerald I completely get why you did it, your passion for Barbie is clear in your voice. For me it was Lego and Star Wars figures in my childhood. Lego is still a part of my adulthood. Have a great weekend too.
OMG so pretty. Can you also build The Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures house, it is a more modern house from the series by the same name. It would be lovely ❤️ Keep it up I just adore your builds, they look so real 😍
My inner kid remembering my Barbie dollhouse is going 😍🤩🥰💖 I recently gave several of my Barbies to a sweet girl. Since I don't have my own daughter and can't have another kid, nor do I have a neice young enough to like Barbie's, this sweet girl loves Barbie's so what better chance than to delight her for her birthday than let her have some more Barbie's and items. They've been just sitting in a tote, so I'm glad they're getting played with again.
How absolutely sweet and kind of you to give that sweet girl Barbies and items :) It's always so special when the next generation gets to enjoy these special toys. New memories in the making and one day she will also share her Barbie memories with someone! :) Thank you for your amazing comment
@@KateEmerald I'm happy the opportunity finally came. I was going to bring them to a Goodwill store but I'd never know if they would all stay together or not. I even had a bed with bedding that has 2 compartments underneath. They don't make those anymore. I still had my Barbie vet clinic items too, so that was cute. Also, a ziplock bag full of shoes/boots. Oddly, I had 1 hairbrush, lol. I've some leftover Barbie's that need some tlc before I give those away too. I'll be keeping my first Barbie, Pocahontas, and my wheelchair Barbie from Cracker Barrel. I've 3 Barbie's in a case that I want to give to a collector tho as they need tlc I can't give them because one is so delicate with the feathers and it's wings it has. I have a sleepover themed Barbie with items I'll give her when she turns 10. 😄 I had fun with them, so I'm happy to know they'll get more playtime again.
Oh man, you got it perfect! It reminded me of the barbie house I used to have as a kid too lol. Now you just need to do My Little Pony houses too haha, omg that would be amazing...
I remember I had this barbie doll i loved so much that I would sleep with it in bed and carried it around everywhere. And my favorite thing was when my mom styled my hair to look exactly like my barbie doll. I would be so careful when it was nap time to make sure I didn't ruin the hair.💚
Ok so the app is basically you creating your own drama house so you can decorate and dress up the characters. The house is there you can see everything so I think if you follow that maybe it will be easy. This version is actually way more modern, you'll see I really love that game so that will be nice to see

Or the house from Full House?! That'd be AMAZING!! 😊🩷
This is literally perfect
Wow, what a beautiful build! It really has the Barbie vibes. I LOVE Barbie dolls and Disney Princess dolls! I was not allowed to have Barbies but that never stopped me from buying some of them in secret. I kept a lot of mine and I still collect them to this day. I remember playing out these big soap opera type dramas or trying to recreate movie scenes. Lots of fun times. ❤️
Would love your take on re creating the high school musical high school ! (If you didn’t know it’s a hs in real life, you can look up interior pictures of it.)
You’re one of my favorite sims builders. Your creativity is actually amazing.
Thank you so much! :) And I will totally take a look at this High School as a reference :)
gurl u're so talented I had to say THIS IS AMAZING !! the details in and out is just perfect *chef kiss*
I love this! Barbie was my favorite growing up. I had a camping Barbie with a glow in the dark sleeping bag. She was probably my favorite
What an another incredible build by you Kate! You are so incredibly talented.
I was obsessed with Barbie growing up, played with Barbie until I was about 12, I still have some of my barbies, I gave them to my daughters, and now youngest is starting ti grow out of barbie, it makes me sad.
Thank you so much! :) I still have mine as well, my parents have stored them in the basement and they're still at their house. Same with Polly Pocket, I am so glad that I still have them. How amazing that your daughters got to enjoy your beloved Barbies. So special :) It's sad that they're growing out of Barbie but you've surely made some very special memories together and share your love for Barbie. Just like we're reminiscing of Barbie right now they'll do the same later
Yay that's my childhood :) I really like how you put dedication to the bulids
Thank you so much :)
@@KateEmerald your welcome
Pink is my absolute favorite color so this is the type of house I've been dreaming of for the sims!! It makes me wanna jump on the game right now & make Barbie & her sisters in CAS!! I always loved playing with Barbies!! I'm 29 now so I don't really get to play with the newer ones but I have to say I'm so happy they finally changed the body types & gave them more diversity! I played Polly Pockets & Bratz too! I was already an adult When Monster High Dolls became a thing, but if there was a build from there I'm sure you'd make it look so awesome!! I absolutely love your content 😍 I only wish that I could build as amazing as you! Also, I play on console so I'm rather limited!! Thank you for my dream sims home❤
OMG! This is so amazing!! I absolutely love the exterior. It caught my eye when I was scrolling for videos to watch. You have such great ideas and are an amazing builder! Xx
Thank you sooo much! xx
I was turning 3 in 1986 or 87 and invited my whole preschool class. I got the whole set of Barbie and the Rockers that year, plus the new Business Barbie complete with fax machine and Happy Birthday Barbie. I passed those dolls on to my daughter last year.
Wow! Your so talented! This is absolutely incredible once again!
Aw you made me emotional...i was obsessed with Monster High back then and I have similar memories to christmas eves; I'd always get dolls too. ugh, so nostalgic, i sometimes wish I could go back in time
Edit: omg any chance you could build the monster high school?! :0
I had a Barbie movie collection when I was younger and I looooved to pretend I'm a princess. My favourite was Rapunzel and 12 dancing princesses. 10 years later I'm on my way to transitioning with Barbie being my first realisation :) i'll always have fond memories of Barbie
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
wow, i'm simply speechless. this is fenomenal house and i think Barbie would be grateful happy to live here. dream mansion for her and somebody who loves pink!
Wow, thank you sooo much! :)
LOL I have *always* said that the sins is just Barbie's for adults 🤣 that's why I love it so much!! Great build!
You're so right, it totally is, haha! Thank you so much! :)
@@KateEmerald this has given me a new challenge idea. The Barbie challenge lol Set your game to long lifespan, do your best to recreate barbie and ken. Live in this house and do every career, getting at least one promotion before you move on. You would choos the Renaissance sim aspiration and could never have children lol
Oooh! How fun!!! I love this, it’s so, um, well pink! 💚💚💚
Thank you! :) Yes, SO pink :D
@@KateEmerald Thanks so much for replying to me! Can’t wait for your next live stream. I go back to school in a week, so I’ll probably miss it:( Oh btw I’m not into barbies (im a 12 year old boy 🤣) ok I have this blanket that I’ve had since I was a baby and still sleep with him to this day!
I think this is the most beautiful of Barbie's homemade.
I love this it reminds me of playing with Barbies as a kid. I always wanted a Barbie doll house, but we were poor so I ended getting a used one that was falling apart, but I still loved it. I also played with Bratz and MyScene dolls. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again, but my life is much better now. Thank you Kate it’s really beautiful. 😄
Life in plastic is fantastic 🎶
How do you come up with your ideas to build so amazingly?
Aww thank you!! Well in this case it just happened because I was joking about pink windows and then the Barbie idea was born haha
I'm a Barbie NUT! I'm over 50 and have been in love with all things Barbie since I was about four years old. I love this build so much!💖💞
Oh wow! This Barbie House looks so cool! Such a cool idea 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much! :)
Been binge watching ur channel this week and im so impressed by how creative and mind blowing u are!!! I have been playing the sims for almost 9 years but its embarrassing of how stiff i am in buildings..Yall create masterpieces! Love your videos Kate, new sub !💚
Obsessed with this build!!! I love it so much and all the pink and Barbie makes my heart so happy!!
I used to have a barbie that came with a baby Keiko orca and orca’s are my favourite so I used to love this doll and the whale so much 🥹🥹 loved making all sorts of stories with my dolls 🙏🏻
omg I remember this one! I am not sure if I had this one or my neighbor! We were friends and played together with Barbies. and OMG I LOVE ORCAS SO MUCH! I am obsessed with them, my dream is to see one in the wild one day, all happy and free :) Thanks for sharing this with us
this is such a beautiful build!! hearing you talk about your experiences with barbie really brings me back to when i was little watching barbie as rapunzel and barbie in the nutcracker over and over again, thank you so much for sharing 💕
I feel like this video is one of those that will have 1 mil views, and will get in everyone's recommendations for no reason in 6 years
Yesssssssssss I'm so excited! Thank you for doing such a childhood home! One of my favorite builders 👷♀️ I am so so SO excited to play in this. Thank you! 😊
Thank you sooo much! :)
AHHH!! I’ve always wondered what your version of this house would look like, I love it!!
Thank you so much! :)
Yessss you did the Barbie mansion!!! Never clicked so fast, all by Barbie Dream Mansion fulfilled 💖💗💓💞💕💖💝💘
Thank you so much! :)
Hey.. sorry to ask, but can we add this build in our own game?
Can‘t believe someone has finally done this one!
You say you’re not good at recreating houses but I recognized this from the thumbnail immediately!! Looks great it’s so fun 🤩 Also that palm tree always looked fake to me too lol
This is amazing Kate. Maybe you could build a smaller house to be the neighbour of Barbie. The House could be mostly white with the pink accents, so you could have the pink windows.
Thank you! :) Oh, this is such a cool idea! :)
While I was a senior in high school we had to create a video of what we read in this book.
My friend and I decided to create the book with my Barbies!!! (Yes, I had them in my room still, tho I didn't play with them). That was the funniest video, especially when we played the video in front of the class. (We even did a commercial half way thru) Got an 'A' for our presentation!! 🤪
Wow, that's such a cool story and idea! :)
Such a fun build, great job! 😊 I was never that into Barbie, but I was obsessed with Bratz dolls. I remember begging for new ones every birthday and Christmas. 😂
This is gorgeous! Reminds me of The Sims 2 Barbie Girl music video. Good times.
The good old days :)
The build I didn't know I needed!!!
Hey.. sorry to ask, but can we add this build in our own game?
@@AndiNabighahyes ofc
@@crazycat2007 but Sims 4 to Sims 2?
@@AndiNabighah no u cant add it in sims 2 but in sims 4 u can just go to the gallery and written brabie dreamhouse hope it help u
@@AndiNabighah And Sims 4 is now free u can download to your pc 😊
I also think that it would be awesome.... If you created mansions for the Not So Berry Challenge🍓!!! Every house per generation is a different color, starting with Mint 🌿.
Just an idea or two.
A mansion for 100 mermaid baby challenge! 😇
Thank you so much! :) I've started to look into the challenge but did I get it right that the color only has to be present in the build and it's not 100% mint for example? So other neutral colors would be allowed (Such as white)? :)
Yes, this would be such a fun build series to see from you! I've seen people use the color in different ways, but based on the rules I would say that you are correct Kate :) When I built one for fun, I took inspiration from the color and also from the generation guidelines, but I wanted it to actually look good too lol so I definitely used a lot of other colors.
this is just...phenomenal !
I saw this on your twitter, and ran over here to partake of your latest masterpiece! Super WOW!💫
Aww thank you! :))
I used my bedroom closet ikea-like shelves as apartments for my barbies. I'd take all my clothes out of the shelves and decorate each box differently. This did lead to a messy room but I had too much fun playing.
I am sick of you Kate!!! I am sick of you and these amazing builds!!!! Uggggggh I hate to love it!
I was also a kid in the 90's in Germany :) But I never liked Barbie... I had some, but they weren't my favorite. I loved Diddl, Polly Pocket and Lego when I was a kid. And later I really really disliked dolls. But nooow... I'm 36 years old and am collecting Rainbow High dolls and am sooo obsessed with them. Haha ^^' So it was really fun to watch you building this house and hearing about your love for your Barbie dolls as a child.
im honestly amazed with this build:0 its amazing!!
This is so incredible! How fun!
Thank you so much! :)
hands down the best sims Barbie dream house i’ve seen!! great work :)
I think we were in the same era, we just missed the age of the Barbie movies. But in the 90s though... Barbies, Polly Pockets (the actual small ones you could fit in your pocket), and Easy Bake Ovens were everything! As well as at least one Nerf gun if you had a sibling, for totally innocent reasons... yup totally innocent. 😅
Anyways, this looks great! Definitely the pink explosion I expected it to be! Pink is not my favorite color & never has been so irl I wouldn't live here but 7 year old me... I'd absolutely live out my Barbie fantasies here!
PS~ since you mentioned it, I'd love to see another CC build
Hey Kate. Well....it's definitely pink, no doubt about that. 😆
It's too garish for me but it's still a detailed, beautiful build. I can just imagine the younger kids making Barbie and Ken woo-hoo in the master bedroom.
Thank you so much! :)) It's definitely a lot haha but I had so much fun building it. Something colorful and different for once! :D Hope you're doing well happy weekend :))
@@KateEmerald I completely get why you did it, your passion for Barbie is clear in your voice. For me it was Lego and Star Wars figures in my childhood. Lego is still a part of my adulthood.
Have a great weekend too.
I love pink so so much!
Life in the dream house was my all time favorite Barbie series.
It's so beautiful i'm obssesed!!!!!!!
Thank you so much :)
You are incredible, I am obsessed with every construction you do💗💖
Thank you so much! :)
Omg! I didn't know Barbie is one of your house design clients! 😄
OMG so pretty. Can you also build The Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures house, it is a more modern house from the series by the same name. It would be lovely ❤️ Keep it up I just adore your builds, they look so real 😍
YAAAAAAAS!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, so good ❤️
You are so skilled at building!!
Absolutely stunning!!! You did such a great job!
Thank you so much! :)
this is amazing, you made every detail of the dreamhouse just identical to the cartoon
Definitely a wedding venue! I will be having a royal wedding in this build, thank you!
I've been intending to give Judith Ward a Barbie makeover and I think this mansion is perfect to complete it!
My inner kid remembering my Barbie dollhouse is going 😍🤩🥰💖
I recently gave several of my Barbies to a sweet girl. Since I don't have my own daughter and can't have another kid, nor do I have a neice young enough to like Barbie's, this sweet girl loves Barbie's so what better chance than to delight her for her birthday than let her have some more Barbie's and items. They've been just sitting in a tote, so I'm glad they're getting played with again.
How absolutely sweet and kind of you to give that sweet girl Barbies and items :) It's always so special when the next generation gets to enjoy these special toys. New memories in the making and one day she will also share her Barbie memories with someone! :) Thank you for your amazing comment
@@KateEmerald I'm happy the opportunity finally came. I was going to bring them to a Goodwill store but I'd never know if they would all stay together or not. I even had a bed with bedding that has 2 compartments underneath. They don't make those anymore. I still had my Barbie vet clinic items too, so that was cute. Also, a ziplock bag full of shoes/boots. Oddly, I had 1 hairbrush, lol. I've some leftover Barbie's that need some tlc before I give those away too. I'll be keeping my first Barbie, Pocahontas, and my wheelchair Barbie from Cracker Barrel. I've 3 Barbie's in a case that I want to give to a collector tho as they need tlc I can't give them because one is so delicate with the feathers and it's wings it has.
I have a sleepover themed Barbie with items I'll give her when she turns 10. 😄
I had fun with them, so I'm happy to know they'll get more playtime again.
I couldn't count how many times I said "WOW" while watching this.. :)
Oh man, you got it perfect! It reminded me of the barbie house I used to have as a kid too lol. Now you just need to do My Little Pony houses too haha, omg that would be amazing...
Das ist der Hammer 😳❤️
You are extremely creative! Love your work so much!!! 😊
this brought me so much joy!
thw whole time i was siming barbie girl while looking at this amazing build
Omg I love thisss perfect mansion!!!
Thank you so much :)
I remember I had this barbie doll i loved so much that I would sleep with it in bed and carried it around everywhere. And my favorite thing was when my mom styled my hair to look exactly like my barbie doll. I would be so careful when it was nap time to make sure I didn't ruin the hair.💚
its pink!!!! its pretty!
i love her ideas
Aww thank you!! :)
I would love to see this compared to the vampire version of it, all black and gothy.
This is so fun and it makes me smile, thank you!
This is so beautiful and fun!
Thank you so much! :)
Ok so the app is basically you creating your own drama house so you can decorate and dress up the characters. The house is there you can see everything so I think if you follow that maybe it will be easy. This version is actually way more modern, you'll see I really love that game so that will be nice to see
A barbie app
This sounds fun thank you!! :)
This is so pretty :>
Their is shows and movies of Barbie now, I was obsessed in 2017 when I was 13/14
omg this is beautiful!!!!!
