It's funny how lilsimie will be like "now I know this is gonna sound crazy" and then proceed to do the same thing she's done like 20 other times when renovating houses
I genuinely believe that the subtle saucer light should be the default light that they use because it gives off more light than any other light in the game and it doesn't interfere with styles you're going for because it's not like you'll see it anyway and you can change the colour of the lighting to look warmer if you want it to feel like a candlelit vibe but still save money
It's ironic that EA are putting simmers out of jobs of rebuilding their horrendous creations precisely by hiring them 😆
It’s a ✨WIN WIN✨ for everybody 😂
It’s honestly the best thing they could do
kayla: "i need to build more base game starter homes"
i can't tell if shes joking or not
me neither
That's basically all she builds I feel like :/ I get why she does it but I like the more detailed builds
I’m not sure because she only does base game limited pack starter homes. In fact I’ve never seen a video where she does unlimited packs. 🤦🏻♀️
@@nfldshorty21 There was one four days ago, which was the circle house shell challenge, a room build less than a week ago, and off the top of my head, I think there was a tiny home circle, an apartment, a restaurant, and a modern mansion recently. Although she does do a lot of smaller home/pack limited homes, I think because she feels bad for people who don't have many/all the packs.
@@nfldshorty21 going off what @Thea Rose said, she has said before that she builds more base game/limited pack builds because she wants people who actually play the sims to be able to download her lots, and if she uses less packs, her builds are accessable to more people; she references the days of the sims 3, before she made videos, when she would watch sims youtubers and feel jealous of all the packs and sims 3 store items they had that she couldn't have because she was a kid. by posting base game/limited pack builds alongside unlimited pack builds she is trying to make her channel more inclusive and more fun for everyone :) /nm
Challenge idea: Millionaire's tiny home. Simple premise; make a tiny home that costs (at least) a million.
AMAZING IDEA OMG
This is such a good idea but I feel like it would be literally impossible. She built a house worth a million before and it was absolutely massive. I don’t think you could spend a million on a tiny house! 😊
that is a good idea as much as it’s virtually impossible. I MUST SEE HER TRY.
A twist on this could be just make the most expensive tiny house possible
@@freyapearce1144 It’s been done before.
looking forward to when simsie gets her james turner moment and is hired to build an entire pack
when the blue suburban dlc drops she'll be a shoe-in
Once that Suburban pack comes out she’ll be living the ✨DREAM✨ we know that they’ll hire her to do it 😂
And then she'll be renovating them again herself lol 😂
YES
The fact she’s already helped decide items for a pack makes it just seem like it could be very possible
Whenever Lilsimsie does a "renovate by EA restrictions" build I always think about how it follows game logic but not real life logic.
It's so expensive to move and paint walls irl-
Hi! I am truly sorry if disturbing, however i must express my surprise to see you in this comment section as only a brief moments ago - it seems - I've been rooting for you in the Uture program! Hope you're doing well and blossoming both virtually and in reality! Have a nice day!☺️
I'm looking at buying a condo...this is so true!!!!!!!!
I know right! To be honest, compared to real life houses in the sims are just generally really cheap. Probably because they want you to be able to just buy a house straight up whereas in real life most people have a mortgage.
@@rachelcookie321 this had me thinking that i would be so cool if there was something like mortgage in the Sims. Of course you can always play pretend but would be nice to have an actual thing
Painting isn't that pricey, but moving walls is crazy expensive, and plastering walls too.
Kayla I think you need to build less base game only houses and just have fun with all the packs. Your builds are great, but even better when there are no pack restrictions 😍 I totally understand and appreciate why you do base game only though!
I just noticed that's a starter home in Brindleton Bay :D I was obsessed with that pack for so long and only lived in that world so I've spent a lot of time in that house lol.
My dogs would always somehow get stuck in the ceiling upstairs.😔
Duuuude I’ve had sims get stuck up there too! It’s so weird
my toddlers got stuck there a lot
@@lemkee2762 haha back then I refused to play with toddlers, at least with playable sims you can telrport them out.
My cat is stuck there right now. What do I do help
@@genobeeno Toddlers are playable?
You should do a "realistic" renovation on say a derelict build from the gallery. And you can only do realistic changes, like maybe take down a wall or two, add a modern extension etc. No changing all the windows (unless theyre a similar size) no entire new floors etc etc....
she actually used to do stuff like this a lot in the past, she should really bring it back
Every once in a while I encounter a house irl that seems like it came from the EA team. Super high walls but no aesthetic value to the increase in height. Tiny or absent windows. No overhead lighting. 😱
High walls/ceilings are rarely done for aesthetics it's mostly to help reduce the feeling of being cramped especially if you're tall.
yes, same!! i’ve also noticed more houses that look like they have a “face” and i always think of kayla lol
I mean, my house has some high walls. I think it’s quite common in new houses here. Our doors are very long. But our walls are actually filled with things so it looks good. It just makes our house feel less cramped.
I would think tall walls are a relic of older buildings without modern HVAC systems, where they needed extra clearance for transom windows and such.
Like every crappy new build ever
Ok but the shell of the house at first is actually kinda cute, but the inside is so empty and embarrassing..
Yeah i think this house is more fitting for a full reno of the inside like a shell challenge rather than the EA restrictions series.
This is one of my favorite houses in the game but the inside is always disappointing.
Simsie should renovate this house but without the EA restrictions 👀
acting like it won’t be an exact replica of every single thing she’s ever built 😂
I vote for a whole basegame + one pack starter home series going back through each of the packs. Would kind of be nice to revisit them and rediscover forgotten items.
A couch would be lighter to run than a plant because a plant has more details and what you call in 3D modeling as "polygons"
I did this challenge with this house a few days ago and I ended up deleting the entire upper floor and stairs and making it waayyy smaller!! It was the only way I could find to make it cozy.
Love this reno, Simsie!!! Love your work lol
About a year ago, I moved in a family of 4 that had a bit more money (but not a lot more) and I edited the second floor like she did, plus small bathroom behind the stairs, but I think I might've made it a little bigger after shrinking the front? Because I also added a back porch and a toddler bedroom downstairs. I agree though, if I was doing it with just one or two Sims I think I'd delete the second floor or maybe rework it entirely because the upstairs is such a mess and so hard to renovate nicely and the downstairs looks so empty. (I know we can change the shape of stairs now but I think I tried that and either found something only moderately better or eventually gave up because it's just too narrow on the second floor. It might be easier if the upstairs is just an attic with a ladder, come to think of it!)
lol btw I tried adding platform stairs but couldn't figure out what was going wrong so I gave up. Figured out later the whole house has to be on a platform to get the outer stairs to align properly but by then it was too late, I'd moved on and no longer cared enough to do that. If I were to try again, I might just demolish the old house, build my platform, add the first floor, and if I'm feeling spicy, try to create a better second floor.
I miss the nightmare wheel spin LP. Would love another one! And would love for the sims to have to move worlds a few times too!
kayla, if you are considering new video ideas i would love to see a series where you go back and fix up all the building challenge houses youve made. just renovate them and make the fit your expectations without the challenege rules
I'd love to see a more positive tier ranking of the builds done by creators. I'm curious to see what you think of them !!
Oof. You'd have to put them all top-tier, wouldn't you, except maybe your own
Whenever I go in starter homes from old packs I have to add like 10000 lights
Ikr but some of them were actually nice
Same, same.
I always loved Brindleton, that is until I put my legacy home there. It rains ALL SUMMER. I use a lot of mods so I could just fix it or cheat away the rain but as much as it annoys me it apparently doesn't annoy me enough to do that lol. Not a bad build for what you were working with!
In my save Bridleton Bay rains at all seasons. Didn’t think it rained that much in New England it’s almost like it’s based of the British weather like Henford on Bagley.
@@thejompi yeah it's August and in the south it there has been floods
I wonder if she realizes that this was her second time renovating this lot with EA restrictions 🙃
thank you for saying this because i literally thought i was having a severe case of déjà vu, especially when she put the bathroom behind the stairs - i specifically remember that from her previous version lol
@@millyfromtheblock me but with the carpet under the dinner table i was like ????
appreciate your daily uploads kayla!! i’m 39 weeks pregnant and currently building up a lil playlist of videos to watch when i’m in labour
Whenever im feeling down, i come and watch your sims videos. Idk what it is, but you have this calming, almost comforting type of energy from your videos. 🥺 Thank you for making videos in general. You've been a huge inspiration of ALOT of sims homes i've made. I still dont know how your videos comfort me but, for what it's worth. Thank you. 😊
aaaahh! i used to use this house all the time when i started playing sims. This brings back sooo many memories. Great renovation Simsie!
Like how simsie says she needs to build more starter and base game homes as if that's something she never does 🤣🤣
The way I literally just watched her other video doing this challenge on this house for the first time like an hour ago.
I literally thought I was losing it.
Right me to, I thought i was crazy for a moment.
literally me too
I just got the Cats & Dogs pack and opened up this lot to look at it and I immediately went to renovate it lmao it was so bad
I love Kayla's builds, but there's just so much she can do with the EA restrictions ones. They are just sad and make no sense, because EA's restrictions don't make sense in the first place - there's so much more objects in starter homes now, so why this one had to be so limited! 😂 I'd rather watch a regular renovation within a budget, this just stressed me out 😕
You should follow along one of your old build videos and try to recreate the same build by only using your voice over from the old video!
I just watched her other remodel of this house, last night. This tripped me out.
You should do a video on a house build but where everything is a little off. Like the door is one block off from the step. The window is two blocks uneven with the other window etc.
this is one of my favorite starter homes. i always refurnish and sometimes add a half-wall between the kitchen and living room meet (behind the stairs), but essentially i keep the layout. it's kind of a funky house, i like it lol
I really wish that Simsie comes back to this lot and make the house better without restrictions 😫
Since we are getting close to Halloween, why not trash the place up and make it a haunted house--not talking about the lot trait, but put in bones from JA, a few items from Paranormal pack, plus put in wall items and furniture from Vampires and Werewolves packs--and throw in a little flooring and walls from Spooky day. The wooden floors and walls from Spooky day are really good and will fit the aesthetics well.
the moment you tried to shrink the wall and put that little window at 4:19 😂😂😂 its like no no no why game whyyy
love that shes already done this house for this challenge (even tho she wasnt strict with it this time) and did a lot of the same things :'v at least the layout of the kitchen and living is different c:
Now I need you see you fix this house with zero restrictions!
simsie: uses the most expensive cabinets
also simsie: let's sell the windows to afford a bookcase!
It makes me giggle that Lilsimsie has travelled to England the day that it has started to rain after no rain across most parts for over a month with temps over 35c most days (in the south - although I know that's cold for Florida)
I don’t think 35°C would be considered cold anywhere. Maybe it’s not considered boiling hot, but it would be considered hot.
I think it would be neat to have a "starter home" lot type like the tiny home one, except there's a max number of items instead of tiles
Great idea!
I spent 2 hours renovating and moving around the floor plan for this house and when I finished I fell in love with it.
you really don't need to be sorry for giving yourself some landscaping. I'm just hyped for a video, the challenge is fun but nothing dear to my heart
This is probably one of the best starter lots we have in The Sims 4! The view is beautiful, the structure of the house is cute, but it is frighteningly empty and gigantic👁️👄👁️
Your makeover turned out great! Would love to see some renovations in Selvadorada, Windenburg or Glimmerbrook✨
In my custom save, I redid the whole layout of this. I put an office where the dining area was, the kitchen and dining area where the living room was, moved the bathroom under the stairs, and put the living room where the kitchen ones. I feel like that makes SOOOOO much more sense than whatever's going on in the original build.
the dining chairs!! my ocd mind was screaming
Alternative title: "Kayak cheating at her own challenge for 16 minutes straight."
every time i get a notification that simsie posts it always makes me so happy 😊
Ikr :)
i used to do this as a challenge for myself on sims 3, and then i make my sims work. so i can make the house more pretty then. :)
ive just installed sims 4 fr like a month now, but i have not been obsessing over it unlike on sims3.. but eversince watching your content, ive kinda having some ideas how i will enjoy sims 4 :)
I love that top Kayla, it's so cute!
I love your schedule, it’s so consistent!
i use this house ALLL THE TIME but i renovate it so much it’ll be like 4 bed 3 bath it’s honestly a good shell i just usually change the windows, i also never have budgets when i build but oh well
I'm desperate to see Kayla use some white&black instead of the wood colors
Agreed
I swear she renovated this same house 2 years ago with the same challenge 😭
i’ve been searching these comments trying to find someone else who also realized this.
@@sarahhorne8251 only the OG's remember ✨
I was just thinking of a new rags to riches for Simsie. Actually two of them.
"Can you get rich with fabrication?"... as well as with appliance upgrades (their value does go up)... but maybe that one is silly.
I would also like to point out a strategy I've been using for fabrication and also dumpster diving in TS4. Don't have any sinks on your lot so that you can recycle your dishes. :))))
Oh, and woohooing in a dumpster will generate extra trash piles for recycling... and the Reuse and Recycle lot challenge also keeps useful garbage from being deleted by normally bottomless outdoor trashcans.
I use that house quite often and I always renovate it in my games and it looks beautiful
I think the only way to do this house would be to rurn the upstairs into an attic and put the bedrooms and all thier items downstairs
Pleease do some more base game + one pack builds, I would watch a whole series of this!! Idk if you need to torture urself with the ea restrictions again tho !!
It’s funny seeing this comment against all those people basically begging Kayla to make more houses with unlimited packs lol
@@rachelcookie321 I would enjoy that too!!
Okay! I’m not good at renovating sims builds, but I try! 😆 So basically did what you did! So that’s awesome!
I love this update to this starter home! And maybe it’s just me, but this neighborhood is my main! ✌🏻😊
How about trying the "real life restrictions" next? :) NO convenient "shrinking" of walls and house; careful removal of interior walls - decide which are supporting, and need to be replaced by at least beams or columns; expensive reroofing - you'll reduce your budget for any changes, e.g. 3000 for changing only shingles, but 10 000 if you remake the whole structure. But, you can "cheat" to make things functional and logical, and you can use as many object as you want (have money left for).
YES to Basegame + one pack restricted starter homes! Even more yes if that includes packs that did not come with a new world, like Seasons or Tiny Living. Yes yes yes!
Ugh... This house... To be honest, I kinda like it when it comes to the exterior. I even like the fact that there's not much going on inside. That way, I can decorate it myself with whatever I want or need my sims to have. But dear god the roof. It looks normal at first, but the vertical part above the wall with the round window clips into the building a bit and it drives me nuts when I have to look at it. And it takes all of my patience to fix it, because if I shrink that part, then I have to lower the flat porch roof and play around with the height of the horizontal roof, which takes me half an hour (if not more) again ugh. Other than that? Just a mild annoyance of figuring out the second floor floorplan whenever my sims decide to reproduce.
i literally just started playing in this one a week ago and was thinking “i wonder if sims is renovated it” WERE ON THE SAME WAVE LENGTH KAYLA
I would love to see more base game + packs that don't have their own world too! (Seasons, Parenthood, etc.)
i start college tomorrow so i’ve been binging simsie’s videos all day, love u
Simsie: * uses linoleum *
Me: * surprise pikachu face *
Love your shirt/dress Kayla, it looks cute
I made up a legacy challenge where u start in a starting house (I chose this house) and ur legacy sim cant move from this lot. Each new generation has to have one more kid then the last. So by gen 8 you have to have 8 kids but also have to live on a small lot.
Since I used this house I had to upgrade it alot. I'm about to go onto gen 3 and made the house similar to what it was but now with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It looks kinda cute tbh
Ur my fav yt and u always manage to make me laugh every video! I never want this channel to go away in my life bc it is literally gonna be my childhood channel bc I have watched u for ages and u are LITERALLLY my favourite UA-camr
And btw can I just say, Kayla u are so pretty!! :)
The second you deleted the fire alarm a car alarm started going off outside gbjkgbjksd
Always felt like the bathrooms are too big. A 3x3 space seems unnecessary to me
really needed a new simsie vid after a hard swim practice
This has to be one of the hardest challenges! 😂
"It just isn't smart to prioritize the exterior when there's nothing on the inside" 😭 I feel called out lol
I find this house (the original) hard to renovate because the downstairs is huge, but the upstairs is actually fairly narrow so you can’t make it a great deal smaller very easily! Also the stairs are in an odd spot!
Oh in my opinion it’s really easy to renovate and I’m not a builder maybe because I keep the layout and just replace the furniture and walls ect
you should renovate this build without restrictions! i'd love to see what you'd actually do to it
Oh dang she did the builds in snowy escape that’s low key dope
Simsie’s shirt looks so good in this video
You do great as always in your builds. EA should hire you to do their base game stuff, you could improve them a lot.
that's one of my favorite starter homes but gosh is it a pain to fix up. I don't mind replacing furniture but having to go in and fix the layout makes me ~~~
As a broke teenager base game builds in the gallery save my life 💀
I know it's something that many don't support but I have almost all the packs downloaded for free on my computer, and I can still go online and access the gallery, It's all too expensive to be able to buy even a ok amount of packs
my laptop has always been sh*t but never had any sort of problems with the game related to it not being "original"
So, I’ve had a shit day and I just want to impact someone in a positive way. Can I gift you an expansion pack? No catch. The sims really is so much fun and I know how it is not being able to get the expansions packs.
A parental figures PayPal could work if you can transfer the money to your account or if I can gift you a game directly via ea.
on the gallery don’t they often post the default houses or like have them in each simmers profiles at creation? so if you placed the house over the house then it shouldnt have deprecations right? idk just a thought
The walls under the stairs always distress me, they always look weird and it puts me off my stair game.
I used this house in my 10 Generations and I renovated it sooo much that you can barely recognise it lol (I didnt do the challenge where u have the same budget but it was so fun)
i love your shirt its so pretty and looks good on you !!!
I am so looking forward to the new cemetery your gonna build now that you have the head stone CC
Simsie at the end is how I feel after every build I do. I'm going to build this and never look at it again.
would personally love to see you make this house amazing .. i'll download it
I did this house too. I used my Simsie tip to always make smaller.
base game + eco lifestyle starter home PLEASE! it can be a shipping container or a modern type build!
I am definitely guilty of using the Super Subtle Saucer Light too much.
Your top is so cute!!
Kayla you should try out a "challenge" where you play on the original The Sims 4 release build where certain cheats and features didn't exist yet!
Can you play it? Like are you still able to download it somehow?
I downloaded this build a few days ago assuming it was from ages ago, so weird to see it being built now🤣
I want EA to add new basegame counters or add more colors to the counter that Kayla used in this video. I also want them to add more cheaper basegame beds. We are seriously lacking on basegame cheap furnitures. All basegame house be looking the same sometimes because we gotta use the same cheap objects over and over again.
base game and vampires starter home, that would be soooo fun
Maybe in the future you could do it with the restrictions, but in the same video do it how you would as well?
I only like the EA build because I used it once for a save where I trapped my toddlers and kids in a room I built under the stairs 😂 I think I also purposely put the newspaper rug under the fireplace to set the house on fire at one point.
Now that I think about it, I also used this house in that save file to breed dogs and I found out that puppies can’t use stairs so there was a lot of dog poop on the porch 🤣
It's a odd moment when you when play Sims 4,but look like a Sim.I'm looking at lilsimsie like..."In Sims 4,I could make her."
