ill never understand why doesnt EA just fix the old mistakes? like adding the missing door or a toilet in the strangerville house? just like they refreshed the goths they could just fix the mistakes for future saves right?
Maybe it is because it lets the meme last. Though, they should make sure new Simmers are aware that they can change these old mistakes on their own. When I played the Sims the first time, I had no idea how to work build mode, or that it even existed!

I'm a little bit upset at EA for not getting japanese simmers to build the Mount Komorebi lots (and South East asian simmers for Tomarang), it felt like a missed opportunity, but I'm really happy they brought in simmers. You all did great jobs and clearly did your research! Love from Japan 😘
I understand like the your idea but… just because they aren’t they race does not mean they can’t change styles. It’s not like she made a blue suburban. It’s still a Japanese style
@@williamcarlton4154 yeah, but if you’re going to sell a pack about a culture, it‘d make sense to include the simmers from that culture to create the builds (if they have simmers make the builds) because they‘d be more familiar and knowledgeable about it. still, simsie and other simmers did a wonderful job on their builds.
@@williamcarlton4154 of course, it's just that it would have been cool to get japanese people to showcase Japanese culture, it's not about race it's about representation and it's about the fact that the Snowy Escape world is explicitly based on Japan. In the future, if they do a Turkey inspired world for exemple I'd like to see Turkish creators, Indian creators for India or Brazilian creators for Brazil, I think it's interesting and the sims is a popular game worldwide. They have made efforts in representation across the board (gender, vitiligo, hearing aids and showcasing black content creators), so I have high hopes they might make that effort for future packs. I hope that made sense! :)
@@williamcarlton4154It’s not that it has to happen, but there are little details that an American Simmer would struggle with even if they do research online. Tatami is an example, as a Japanese person would understand the standard sizes of tatami and how rooms are sized around them better. They’d probably prioritize sizing the room based on the tatami for realism, instead of doing tatami to fit a room. A Japanese Simmer also might have pushed to have a stovetop as most Japanese living spaces don’t have ovens at all. Additionally, there are certain layouts that Americans might not notice the handy convenience of because we have different hygiene or food or trash habits. Clearly, research was done on layout and architecture, but I think a Japanese builder would have added a lot to the experience.
Congrats on your 2 mil, simsie! I’ve been here for a year or so now and even in that time your channel has grown so much, and I’m so happy to see you living your sims life ❤️
I remodeled the Ito residential lot (the 50x50 one), and it took me about a week to reach something that was to my liking, fitting the Mt Komorebi general vibe and playable, even though I thought the lots in Snowy Escape were a HUGE improvemnt over the classic EA builds. Working on such a large lot is really a pain, and I can't even begin to fathom the humongous list of restrictions EA put on you to have a build that can be included in the pack. Your work was great, and the starter home is to this day still one of my favourite in the whole game.
I wish she had allowed herself to alt place things and use cheats so it was like doing what she couldn’t do before but wanted to. Idk… just would’ve made it *that* much nicer.
i love the work you did for this winter wonderland pack, your builds are always my favorite go to's in the world (i also had no idea you built them! thats so cool)
This starter house is the one that my longterm legacy started in! I’ve been playing the save file for over two years, and chose this house for my founder because I’m a snowboarder in real life so my legacy founder had to be one too lol! It was before I ever watched this channel and I had no idea it was a Lilsimsie build, but it makes sense now why I thought it was such a beautiful house ❤ brings back such good memories, thanks for all your inspiration, Kayla ❤
I love when you do videos like this cause it just validates my frustrations w/ building and decorating in the sims cause I have not mastered any of the "alt placing" and "move objects on" tricks lol. Like oh it's not just me- it's the game.
nope! I feel rly subconscious too- but it does help when I rmbr that, like Kayla said, a lot of them would absolutely do a do-over w/o the restrictions and I feel better for renovating them
simsie, I’m going through my first heart break (a year and a half relationship) and it’s extremely hard. your videos have always helped me, and you do so much for this community. thank you for giving me something to be happy about when everything else is falling apart. keep going kayla, we love and appreciate you🤍
I listened to a Science vs podcast on heartbreak the other day. It may help you as well. The first heartbreaks are sooo hard. Take care of yourself. 🫶🏻
A tatami mat would only take up two tiles, not three. Three looks weirdly long xD A "standard" tatami room would have six tatami mats. A small room might have 4.5 (four alone would be unlucky because the word "four" is synonymous with the word "die/death" in Japanese) while larger rooms would have 8 or 10.
So I physically didn't know you worked on that house at first and I went to live with the family and I literally said wow this is amazing this looks like a simsie build and then like a week later I found out you built it 😂😂😂
You should definitely do a video going through the base game world community lots, specifically the oasis springs gym lot cuz idk if this is an issue with just my game or everyones but there are FULL WALLS missing in the gym's bathrooms/showers
i think i read on the sims community post here on YT that they made a team exclusively for fixing all the bugs and problems on the game. I dontbplay ts4 but i think thats a good news 😊
i had totally forgotten you built the ito family mansion. makes a lot of sense though; first time my sim came over to their house, two separate items caught on fire within minutes of loading the lot. at least it wasn't the toilet though. ;)
I think this is great! I'm looking forward to updating the one in my game, and I'd love to have you redo the other lots you designed too. And maybe you could convince the other creators to redo theirs? Did @JamesTurnerYT do some for that pack?
Pretty build with a very non-traditionally Japanese vibe... the seperate toilet is a nice cultural touch and while the genkan looks different than it would in real life it at least exists. Yet the room layout, the arrangement of the tatami... sadly not it.
Why wouldnt ea just finish the pack’s items and pricing before releasing it for you an dother artists to use and make these lots so you dont have to go back and forth so many times
I think you should try and collaborate with dearmodern (the feng shui guy who redesigns rooms). I saw your bed and door placement in one of the rooms and just thought of him the whole time 8D
Slotting books on a desk next to a computer makes the desk unusable because of a bug that makes your sim interact with the books every time you do anything with the computer. Tell your sim to program or write a book, and they will sit to do it, then stand up and take a book to read. Tell them to put the book away, and do the programming so they can get their promotion at work, and they do so, but interrupt the given useful prompts, and cancel them to interact with the books instead, and then complain that they don't feel like reading. It is one of the most frustrating bugs to deal with in tiny builds, and makes computers completely unusable until you move the books.
I plopped down a couple of the wedding venues that came with the pack and both times I got a warning that they had used the move-objects cheat, so I guess EA is lessening their rules.
I miss the houses that were sorta halfmade so you could slowly build out or add furniture overtime if you're not good at building. Now you have to build from scratch or start with something complete.
what’s snowy escape? don’t you mean winter wonderland?
😂😂😂
Papasimsie is literally so cute omg
PERFECT TIMING! I just finished watching the trivia! 😂 I love her dad!😭
This was the best thing Papasimsie has ever said😂
HAHAGAHA
ill never understand why doesnt EA just fix the old mistakes? like adding the missing door or a toilet in the strangerville house? just like they refreshed the goths they could just fix the mistakes for future saves right?
actually good point, uh…i dont actually know why they dont do that
@wrightcember they realized they don't have to, people will buy and play their shitty job, no reason to fix stuff
Maybe it is because it lets the meme last. Though, they should make sure new Simmers are aware that they can change these old mistakes on their own. When I played the Sims the first time, I had no idea how to work build mode, or that it even existed!
I agree. I feel like those are the sort of things that maybe could be added to an update easily

I love your builds in winter wonderland!🤩
Looking at the comments I find your dad has officially and single-handedly renamed the pack 😄
only real simmers know this pack is actually called winter wonderland
They wanted you to have a separate toilet room because in Japan that's how their bathrooms are!
same with in australia!! i’ve always found it so weird that other countries have the toilet in the bathroom
fwiw she said that :)
Omg, Winter Wonderland Builds! Maybe Nancy Grabbers in It???
(I’m obviously referring to Kayla’s Dad during the Jeopardy Game)
Ah yes, the infamous Winter Wonderland
Congrats on your 2 mil, simsie! I’ve been here for a year or so now and even in that time your channel has grown so much, and I’m so happy to see you living your sims life ❤️
I've been following for a nearly a year too 😊
Winter wonderland is my favorite world! I bet your dad is very proud of the lots you built!
I remodeled the Ito residential lot (the 50x50 one), and it took me about a week to reach something that was to my liking, fitting the Mt Komorebi general vibe and playable, even though I thought the lots in Snowy Escape were a HUGE improvemnt over the classic EA builds.

ayo drop the gallery link homie
omg, isn't this my favourite world, the winter wonderland 🤩🤩
winter wonderland is probably a top 3 pack for me ngl
would love to see a mansion reno too!! thanks for the video :)
I wish she had allowed herself to alt place things and use cheats so it was like doing what she couldn’t do before but wanted to. Idk… just would’ve made it *that* much nicer.
i love the work you did for this winter wonderland pack, your builds are always my favorite go to's in the world (i also had no idea you built them! thats so cool)
Anyone notice that she alt placed the pots 😂

i really like that kayla had this amazing opportunity and the houses are beautiful, but I really would've loved EA to hire an actual Japanese creator
Uhhh yesss winter wonderland, my favorite pack😭✨
Winter Wonderland has such a pretty world!
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
We need more random positivity like this.

@@clearlynotchloe oh.. well my faith in humanity has just plummeted😂
winter wonderland mentioned!! 🗣️📣
1:13 it just so happens those are my fav builds
I always feel bad knocking down the new house because I know simmers have spent so much time building it
is that just me or anyone else
nope! I feel rly subconscious too- but it does help when I rmbr that, like Kayla said, a lot of them would absolutely do a do-over w/o the restrictions and I feel better for renovating them
Same here
I had no idea you built literally my favorite starter home!! 😂❤ I love how small yet comfy the starter is!
So happy your re-visiting the winter wonderland pack
I love this idea. I can’t wait to see what it looks like

Video from winter wonderland???? Yaaaaaaaay
i love the winter wonderland pack!!!
I may get winter wonderland…. Should I?
Love this build. Also your eyes are sparkling and your skin is glowing !
I started my current legacy family (now gen five) on this lot! It was a lot of fun.
Hey, i noticed a mistake in the title. "Snowy Escape" isnt a sims4 pack, but there is one called WinterWonderland, hope this helps!
I love your creative ideas, and your vids are amazing keep going
I love this world and the builds sm ❤️
IM SO EARLY! I introduced you to my brother yesterday and we’re both fans 💗
Whenever I'm feeling down I watch you do a shell challenge and I feel better 😊❤
You should do a challenge where you try recreating one of your/the sims most iconic builds from memory!!!!
Congrats on hitting 2 Million! :)
Excited to see you rebuild your Snowy Escape builds!
This was a huge improvement. It looks so much better. I’m definitely downloading it and replacing your old starter
winter wonderland is one of my favorite packs for cas/buildbuy
I loved this video so much!
The house looks so good :)
Thats the house I always pick as my starter home! I love it so much and its so cute and cozy
Mount Komorebi is my favorite world, the builds are amazing because of all our influencers ❤❤🎉
I love playing in this starter home. It's so pretty in my opinion
Love this video lilsimsie and great job on the builds on the sims.
A few years ago? Kayak don’t gaslight me into thinking it wasn’t a week ago!
I had no idea you built this!!! Snowy Escape was the first pack I bought for the sims 4 and this was the house three generations of my sims lived in!!
not nancy grabbers being a ghost in this save...well! the winter wonderland build is cute!
So nice to finally see you do a Winter Wonderland building! /ref
Winter Wonderland
I wish EA would make it where console players can use your code, you've inspired every pack I've bought so far
I love the builds you did for winter wonderland
Great winter wonderland house!!!❄️
I'm playing with this starter house right now.
A tatami mat would only take up two tiles, not three. Three looks weirdly long xD
A "standard" tatami room would have six tatami mats. A small room might have 4.5 (four alone would be unlucky because the word "four" is synonymous with the word "die/death" in Japanese) while larger rooms would have 8 or 10.
So I physically didn't know you worked on that house at first and I went to live with the family and I literally said wow this is amazing this looks like a simsie build and then like a week later I found out you built it 😂😂😂
I wish you had done it using move objects so we could see what you would've done without that restriction!
Oh my godd, ive used that starter house hundreds of times and i didn't know simsie built it lol
Gotta love Winter Wonderland 🤣❄️
Renovate the mansion!! That would be amazing
1:44 “I am really proud of it, it just kind of hurts my soul to look at it”
Relatable lol
It's a nice build, Kayla, but I like the house you originally made for this pack a little more.
You should definitely do a video going through the base game world community lots, specifically the oasis springs gym lot cuz idk if this is an issue with just my game or everyones but there are FULL WALLS missing in the gym's bathrooms/showers
😊Hi Kayla when I can't sleep I listen to you your voice calms me thought about narrating a Audio book????
i think i read on the sims community post here on YT that they made a team exclusively for fixing all the bugs and problems on the game. I dontbplay ts4 but i think thats a good news 😊
does Nancy Grabbers live here?
Ah yes, the lovely Winter Wonderland pack ❤❤
Where do I sign the petition for the Sims 4 team to update this pack name to "Winter Wonderland"?
Why is no one talking about how good red looks on Kayla?!
i had totally forgotten you built the ito family mansion. makes a lot of sense though; first time my sim came over to their house, two separate items caught on fire within minutes of loading the lot. at least it wasn't the toilet though. ;)
That first big house I always choose for my own sims house lol
WINTER WONDERLAND!!!!!
would it bankrupt ea to fix the trashy builds from the existing packs? like, we have the SDX Drops. why not fix the trashy builds that way?
oooooooooooo she alt-placed the fridge 😮
8:56
I think this is great! I'm looking forward to updating the one in my game, and I'd love to have you redo the other lots you designed too.
And maybe you could convince the other creators to redo theirs? Did @JamesTurnerYT do some for that pack?
Pretty build with a very non-traditionally Japanese vibe... the seperate toilet is a nice cultural touch and while the genkan looks different than it would in real life it at least exists. Yet the room layout, the arrangement of the tatami... sadly not it.
I would watch Simsie remake the Snowy Escape mansion, even if it had to be a two-parter thing or she had to take a break between parts. lol
Why wouldnt ea just finish the pack’s items and pricing before releasing it for you an dother artists to use and make these lots so you dont have to go back and forth so many times
I think you should try and collaborate with dearmodern (the feng shui guy who redesigns rooms). I saw your bed and door placement in one of the rooms and just thought of him the whole time 8D
i started gen 1 of my not so berry challenge in this started home ❤️
Do you have a playlist for all your sims rebuilds 🥺🤌💕
All the winter wonderland comments have me rolling LOL 😂
Snowy Escape、全体的に出来はいいんだけどデフォルトで作られてる家の間取りがどう見ても日本の家じゃないのが気になってた。
そうよね、なんか家をやり直したくなるね。
Yes do the mansion omg
❤❤❤ great video!
WINTER WONDERLAND really was THAT girl

I LOVE kayla videos bc of her honesty!! she's not like "omg buy everything, all sims 4 expansion packs are magnificent", she's so REAAAL!
