I just wanted to mention that Adult sims can use/write in a journal and "rant about stress" or "scribble angrily" the same as children and teens to help their moods, so a desk still makes sense. :)
@@limiv5272 You can increase your writing skill with it using a teen and up Sim, if I'm not mistaken, though I don't recall if it lets you actually create a book/short story with it.
As a seasoned historical save player (which includes off-the-grid + simple living), there is sooo much to do off the grid ! Surviving, ofc, but you can paint, play music, read, do woodworking, flower-arranging, gardening, chess, fishing, knitting, and there's no autonomous video games/tv
Have you ever been able to get normal recipes to work in the off the grid stoves? It doesn't work for me. I swear, why can't my historical sims bake bread? It's like the earliest recipe known to man.
I think this is one of my favorite Simsie builds - I feel like she really went out of her comfort zone with this style and all that clutter, and it really paid off!
simsie i have to be honest... this is probably my favorite build you've ever done. this is literally my exact build style: small, cluttered old looking homes
As a player who LOVES playing off-the-grid I adore this. They do get cold and hot so either changing their clothes or giving your sim a fireplace helps them out. And yes you do need wool. Playing off-the-grid is so fun, literally your only restriction is like no tv or computer, that's it. I like to struggle in the sims. I'd love to see you play off-the-grid
Not all the "off the grid" items are tagged correctly! Cottage living has a small chandelier that works off the grid but it's not under that tab- works great for ceiling lighting
Dang, I'll have to look! There's a chandelier that's off-the-grid in Vampires, but it has an aesthetic that doesn't really gel with my preferred little farmhouses
When you added the easel I immediately thought of the woman in Kiki’s Delivery Service who lives out in the middle of nowhere and paints. So now I’m daydreaming about playing the sims off the grid as her. I’m usually not that enthusiastic about “actual” sims gameplay but that sounds fun
I use the Sims when I'm making a floorplan for my houses in the books I'm writing. This one really reminds me of the post apocalyptic romance I'm writing at the moment
That's so smart! I tend to imagine the stories I read in detail, so when writers mix up the environment I get really confused and it kinda ruins the immersion for me. I'm sure having an actual house built helps you avoid these mistakes. It's a pet peeve of mine, along with inconsistencies relating to sitting and standing [characters are said to stand up when they were already standing at an alarming frequency!]
it always makes me happy to hear other artists using video games to make their own references :) as a visual artist, ive used minecraft for cave interiors and landscapes!
When Kayla says things like "you can't really have kids/farm animals in here" she really underestimates my inner desire to go ham with move objects on and cram sims and things in the smallest, coziest little nooks. You can totally have a kid if you scoot on the bed and sleep with the parent, for example! CHAOS!
I made room for a kid in mine! It fits three Sims; two parents and a child of any age. The child's room is set up with a normal single bed and a dresser, but you can swap the dresser for a changing table and the bed for a crib or toddler bed if need be. It might be possible to fit a pet too, I just couldn't try because I don't have Cats & Dogs.
@@dbseamz you could definitely fit a dog as well, since all you need is a food bowl. Cats need more (scratching post, litter box) so that might not be possible
I'm working on my shell now, and you're right, it is tiny! I originally started on the same lot you used and was going to make a house, but then changed my mind and I'm now working on a bay-side restaurant in San Sequoia. I love the cabin by the way!
a mini simple living + off-the-grid let’s play series that starts with one teen sim and ends when that one sim dies would be so fun to watch and for you to do- i think we’d all appreciate that
Ooooh seeing what you turned yours into has made me really want to give the whole "off-the-grid & simple living" challenge thing a go for this shell, but adding my own twist to it...🤔😍
Sometimes for off the grid lots, I use the geothermal lot trait, that generates power as well as warms pools, and then I build a “pool” that looks natural and add a debug water wheel. I will use that to power like 1 thing. So sometimes the typewriter pc, sometimes a ceiling fan, etc.
I mostly build instead of play and I always gravitate towards small homes or self sufficient (off grid/cabin or farm style builds) this is right up my alley, great job Kayla!
This is why I started doing "green roofs" 😂They can look ok flat, and if it still looks weird, just keep throwing plants at it until it seems more ok 🤣
I LOVE THIS LOT! Living off the grid with simple living is one of my favourite ways to play this game. I will be definitely working on a lot for this challenge! I am excited to check out other people's creations - this community is so creative with their builds it blows my mind.
I’ve recently become obsessed with starting my gameplay’s with small homes and building onto them (esp afte Deligracy’s tiny infant home)- so I’m quite excited for this shell challenge, as it means I’ll have so many cute and small builds to download afterwards :D
Just watched the stream showing some of the builds using this shell. They all looked amazing, can't wait to see the ones you tour for the UA-cam video!
You can definitely fit a barn or coop here. Also the barns work sized down. So you could build a shed & make it look like its for 2 animals if you want. I feel like growing plants for food would be the hardest part about this lot. You should do a lets play with it. Its so cute.
My current legacy challenge is based off of Tazkabaz’s Sims in Bloom (the actual creator of it is a-sims-garden but I watch Taz’s videos) and gen 1 has to have simple living, there are about four foods that they eat and one is leftover birthday cake!
I did this! I made a little Mid-Century Modern vacation rental of sorts. And then I've been inspired to essentially do Shell Challenges with a bunch of the houses that shipped with the various EPs!
Since Kayak's building an off the grid lot, something I discovered when attempting this: your sims can collect water for the household at fishing spots! I don't have or really want eco lifestyle, so this was a pleasant find that may help someone else
I would love an item that worked like a typewriter. Only functional for the writing skill, finding a penpal so you can sort of “send letters” things that would make sense like that. That would be so fun for storytelling!!
One of my favorite ways to play uses off the grid and simple living. I almost always start as a teen (on long life span) with absolutely nothing (my take on the runaway teen challenge) . They get either a trash filled basement that they have to slowly clean up or an abandoned gazebo like structure (also trashed). And the lot is overgrown with plants and random debug jank yard stuff that makes finding places to garden difficult. And it becomes this extreme survival situation
As someone who loves playing historical saves, I always do off-the-grid and simple living. It works best in HoB bc then I can go shopping for ingredients, and the fireplace does a good job of keeping you warm! And as long as you’re wearing the right clothing (winter clothing during winter), your sim stays warm inside or cool inside. And as long as you use the off the grid items, you can use the bath or shower options, as well as the toilet, and if you collect water, you can use it normally. Same with sink. Playing off the grid and with simple living it is actually so fun!
To help with heat and cold, I give my off the grid sims a fireplace for warmth, and sometimes a ceiling fan with just enough solar or wind power to run the fan for cooling, or a pool, that also helps cool them off. And yes they wear their hot & cold weather outfits.
Favorite play style is "off-the-grid & simple living" with one sim vegetarian (for extra problems, of course), so here's a few things. Yes, your sims can get cold in the house -I find it depends on the number of windows but it might not. There's a tab in the build mode for off-the-grid, and it shows everything for water & cooking. Biggest cooking save: the grill. You can do the canning for certain things. 90% of cooking isn't what you expect since the oven can't be used. There are specialty recipes for off-the-grid with a whole tab that you don't see in normal gameplay. Don't expect your phone to work unless it's work related or some chatting. You can paint, woodwork, photography (all base game cameras are off-the-grid), read, play music, garden, flower anging, chess, fishing, crochet, and knitting. Just be aware some of the knitting and all of the crochet needs llama wool. When playing be aware of fishing signs, especially if you have seasons. You need to collect water for your house to function, and fishing signs can do that for winter. Or you can have an ice-cube for a sim -works great. Biggest misconception: you don't have to pay for your lot. Yes, you might have too. It depends on tax breaks you have. Depending on various Finally, my favorite feature, is all the moodlets that come from off-the-grid. Your sim gets happy when they eat certain meals and the poke bowl is great to get super focused. Doing chores are amazing off-grid from the inspiring buffs they give. But they can get tense from the water and sore from chores. All & all, best way to spice up your challenges.
Tiny house off the grid is my favourite to build! My main save is a single young adult girl living in 32 tiles tiny house, having a llama, chickens and garden, but she mostly knits and cross-stitches. And she's living off the grid, but has water collector and wind turbines, so luxurious living 😂 And I have CC that looks like a well and old turbines, so it doesn't break the country style of the lot.
I would love to see simsie build houses for the decades challenge. She could even make a little series out of it like a video for every other decade change where the style of things change and the requirements change.
I LOVE playing off the grid and with the simple living challenge. You don't know what you're missing, Kayla. If you think taking care of a house with 8 Sims is too much, try doing that off the grid. I did it with the two first generations of my Decades Challenge.
This is the first one I've gotten to participate in, I'm so glad I did. I only have basegame but I spent a couple hours turning it into a little cottage with an outdoor dining pavilion and a small hidden bookcase office.
Your twitch chat laughing at you because you put a clothesline under a tree is just preposterous! I have an actual clothesline irl on one side of my house and a big giant tree (I live on a lot of land) that has grown over the clothesline and is in the shade depending on where the sun is and it dries my clothes perfectly despite the shade so the fact that you put it under a tree is valid 😂
Just uploaded mine! I hope you'll like it--it's my first time doing a shell challenge. I turned it into a "treehouse" with a stilt foundation and a couple Debug trees, and furnished it for the Pink Gen of Not So Berry because I've been inspired by watching your playthru of that. The Sim I used for play testing started a fire as soon as he touched the oven...he must have known he was in a Simsie challenge!
I love your cabin, so cool. I personally wouldn't want to live off the grid but it would be fun to have your Sim do it. lol I think they should have it where Sims could bathe in rivers and lakes and have that as part of off the grid living. Then Sims could do that if they didn't have a bath tub. Cute house.
I really wish they made a real typewriter that would work well, like a typewriter, so sims could learn to write and write and publish books without having a computer and it would work off the grid. my dream is to have a hermit artist that loves to paint and write somewhere secluded and live off the grid, but they cannot, as for now they can only write on computers
Just finished my build, my first ever shell challenge attempt! I made a bicycle rental shop. 😊 Found out there's only like three bike items other than bikes. 😂
I'd still love to see you do an inside-out build, where bedroom and kitchen/dining stuff is outside, and plants, pool, etc are inside. It'd be really useful with a mini house, putting so much of the inside stuff outside instead. I'm not sure how doable it is, but I'd love to see you try.
Adult sims can totally use journals! Great way to deal with negative moodlets! Also sims from childhood through university years have written homework.
It would be so awesome, if the typewriter would function as a typewriter if the house was off the grid. Because if I remember correctly, you can send books to publisher via mail. That would make an awesome small cottage for a writer.
Confession time: I thought 'off the grid' met it functioned when it wasn't on the physical grid in game. Which I always thought as odd. Because most if not all items work when they are alt-placed xd
It'd be fun to do a challenge with all the bad lots traits and then loose each one as you succeed in your career. I think James Turner did this before, and it was a good series
ive never done a shell challenge before but i finally wanna do one! usually i play with enough cc to fill an external hardrive so it will be interesting to build with just the vanilla game and the packs
My family actually lived off grid, and our clothesline was strung up in the trees. I always think it's funny to use the clotheslines because I know from experience what it's like. Like if my Sims leave them in the sun I'm just laughing cause their clothes would get sun bleached. 😆
I tried this yesterday. It was so hard to work with since its so small. I only focused on the inside of the building and it took me a bit. It was lots of fun though!
Probably wooden bath "working" in the way as old bathtubs worked. You taking you bucket to nearest water source, take water from it and go back to tub, repeat until full 😅 So pretty realistic to be off the grid 🙈
she always says she‘s sorry but still puts us through the pain xD
Lol
Exactly 😂
*sighs heavily
opens sims*
Yeah but if you get bored it's always something fun to do!
Sorry, but i think she's secretly Canadian 😂
I just wanted to mention that Adult sims can use/write in a journal and "rant about stress" or "scribble angrily" the same as children and teens to help their moods, so a desk still makes sense. :)
Would make more sense if they could use a notebook to write stories. They've got mail, they can submit their works
What journal?
@@antonizajkowski9698 It's from Parenthood! A journal that kids, teens, and adults can write in. 😊

have you ever tried the ultimate decades challenge? it’s like the normal decades challenge but you start in 1300… im obsessed with it rn
this is such a cool idea!!!!
This sounds incredible combined with cottage living lol
My sim still played games on her phone but It wasn’t a huge deal to me.
Have you ever been able to get normal recipes to work in the off the grid stoves? It doesn't work for me. I swear, why can't my historical sims bake bread? It's like the earliest recipe known to man.

You can definitely cross stitch off the grid (edit: and with simple living enabled) even without the wool, it just costs more
Does it cost the same as the stitching plus buying the wool from the little stall thing?
Don't apologize, Kayla - we love your shell challenges!
they are always so difficult but they're so fun!!

you see, when you use all packs you want it looks so much better and interesting!
You saved my easter-weekend! I have four (!) days off and I'll totally take a swing at this during the weekend 😁
not me going to the gallery right now to start 😂😂
This was my first time ever doing one of these, and I absolutely love smaller houses! Makes it perfect for starter houses!
I saw this being made I feel so happy s2 Must love the Duck house
Oh I made a cute library with this one! Had lots of fun.
Love what you did with the shell! Super nice!

Now *there's* a build challenge, haha
Oh damn I’m really excited cause I got here and it literally said posted 9 seconds ago. Also always love a shell challenge
It'd be fun to do a challenge with all the bad lots traits and then loose each one as you succeed in your career. I think James Turner did this before, and it was a good series
ive never done a shell challenge before but i finally wanna do one! usually i play with enough cc to fill an external hardrive so it will be interesting to build with just the vanilla game and the packs
Kayla you slayed this build
I love how beautiful these builds are and I made it into a lava bird
My family actually lived off grid, and our clothesline was strung up in the trees. I always think it's funny to use the clotheslines because I know from experience what it's like. Like if my Sims leave them in the sun I'm just laughing cause their clothes would get sun bleached. 😆
Ok, I think I can actually do this one. I get SO intimidated when they're big shells ^^;;
I did this one and it was very fun!
I’m too down for a mini series (or what ever you’d want to do) of a rags to riches with off the the grid and simple life
I tried this yesterday. It was so hard to work with since its so small. I only focused on the inside of the building and it took me a bit. It was lots of fun though!
9:18 I would love to see an off-the-grid lets play! Even just one video would be great
Probably wooden bath "working" in the way as old bathtubs worked. You taking you bucket to nearest water source, take water from it and go back to tub, repeat until full 😅 So pretty realistic to be off the grid 🙈
ayy i was here for this whole stream!! i was the person who was very excited about the fire pit 😂
Doing the whole of newcrest with the same shell in every lot but scaled differently would be cool :)
SIMSIE PLEASE PLAY THIS BUILD
