so you're telling me new pack basically means Stanley exploiting other Sims in a new Rags to riches but this time as a landlord? can't wait
There kind of is one like that that she posted a year or two ago, except she uses the roommate feature.
I was thinking how fun it'd be to do a rags to riches landlord. Start with literally nothing and eventually get enough money to like build your first small apartment then keep upgrading them from there. I do hope that it works similarly to City Living apartments where you can't see into another Sim's apartment until you enter their door. Considering that functionality is already there, I'd assume that's how it'll work.
It need to happem in a hotdog building
I hope she builds a hotdog hotel and using the new stuff pack chef hustle and the will-so-new for rent pack and be a landlord with selling hotdogs and luring them to live in his stinky,moldy with thieves complex [dont mean to insult just a fan-fun rags to riches]
Slumlord stanley.... that excites me for some reason
the sim gurus confirmed on twitter that we will be able to convert current builds into apartments! they even encouraged prebuilding apartments and editing them later if we’re too excited. im hyped.
Ikr same I'm about to start on my pet friendly apartments
I have a feeling to make an apartment will literally just be using the Room Tool just slightly different. So you'd go in to any build you already have, outline an apartment, and it sets it as an apartment. The funny thing is this style of thing was shown off in the Project Rene videos with how the multiplayer will work there.
@@Eventide215 probably gonna be a new type under the lot traits/type panel
@@Stardust_VegaIt might be, but you'll still need the Room Tool bit I mention to outline what area is an apartment. They talk about having like in-law suites and everything which typically are connected to houses with a door but considered a different 'apartment'. Hence why I hope that tool is a thing so you can still have like all the apartments connected together but also have common areas.
Oh nice!
It’s ok to spent the next 2 years ONLY making apartments, Kayla, I’ll watch them all don’t worry.😂
Same
Same
same
Same!
Agreed
I can't believe we're actually getting the ability to build apartments
I am so excited
@Yeah_You_Thought fr I can't believe it's happening
i cant believe they called it sims 4 for rent 😭😭😭😭
but im so excited
When the pack releases, you should make opposite apartments/townhouses! For example, one apartment is very maximalist and cluttered with plants and such while another is minimal and modern, etc!
That's such a good idea 🔥
I hope tenants will move in/out and do things to furniture. Similar to how like roommates and dorms work. They'd be able to bring their own stuff, take out stuff you put in, etc. Then when a tenant would move out you have to go in and clean it or pay someone to do it.
The Barbie house/blackgoth house as townhouses 😯
That’s such a great idea! I would love to see Kayla build a 6 unit apartment and furnish each one differently. I feel like that would be a good challenge for her but she could do it really well
@@Queenallie2294 she would do fabulous 🤩 I tried it myself and struggled ☠️ it still booty cheeks... 😭 😭
Snap making sure you go to bed on time is so sweet and funny! She thinks she’s your mom and it’s so cute 🥺
Cats thinking we're their kittens is just bloody adorable.
Cats, and dogs, are creatures of habit. If you typically go to bed at a certain time that will become their schedule too and so they'll start yelling at you to do it. What's funny is when they do like Snap does and kinda takes a quick nap with you then just leaves. My dog is like this. At night he'll want to sleep with me just for like 10-15minutes then he'll get up and move to like the bottom of the bed and stay there for a while then he'll get up and go somewhere else to sleep (usually with someone else in the house).
My cat does the same thing, he hates when I stay up late because he just wants to go to sleep with me 😂
That is so wholesome
I totally need a Snap in my life... I hate going to bed at night. I hate getting up even more.
I don't really keep up with the Twitch sims family but it is absolutely hilarious every time the graves are mentioned here on TH-cam and the number of graves is so much bigger than last time I head about it
Agreed
As a console player, I really really appreciate that you think of us with your builds.
Which console do you play Sims4 on?
Yes! I agree. I'm also on console so it's nice being able to download her stuff without worrying about cc
At least Sims handles it well and if you try to download something that has CC it just simply erases it. So you can easily still get the building and replace the things that were deleted. What I like is that she doesn't use the TOOL mod.. I hate seeing the houses people build using that because it causes so many gameplay issues usually so the house doesn't even work.. like sure it looks nice but if it doesn't work, what's the point?
Same 😊🩷
@@Stardust_Vega i play on xbox
Ok but this for rent pack could definitely be one step closer to having hotels in the sims and then maybe also the expansion of being able to have multi business lots and actually being able to live at your business as well. Hopefully this will be the case!!
I live at my vet clinics and retail stores 😂😂😂
wait yeah the apartments could possibly be used like hotels if you know what i mean? it wouldnt be perfect but it could still allow for some hotel gameplay?
@@ekinie3854 hotels would be awesome
I’m so excited for “can I get rich off landlording” evil Stanley Humphrey time.
The Sims team making lots that have up to six units of apartments REALLY opens up the possibility for hotels in a future expansion. You could easily make a hotel room with that same tool.
I'm almost curious if the holiday rental properties will be possible to split into units with this pack. I doubt it but it would be such a simple way to set up a makeshift hotel
@@flippanties No, if it's the Sims, the vacation rental lot designation and the features of this expansion will likely be two different things.
omg I literally cannot stop thinking abt apartments and townhouses and NO ONE IS BUILDING THEM so THANK U SIMSIE OMG
edit: I know people are building them haha i meant it *feels* like its not being talked about enough because its on my mind 24/7
James Turner (formerly known as the sims supply) has made a few and is planning on making more leading up to the release!
SydMac also made town houses!
james and deli are
James & deli def are. Gryphi is as well.
James and deli recently have
I so desperately want to make a little trailer park and have each trailer be their own unit. I'm hoping it works.
I will never get sick of these apartment/townhouse videos
Nor will i
I have to say, I appreciate Simsie admitting that it IS a “waste of time” because I was personally wondering if she’d go back and make these playable or just move on and make new ones. I think Simsie, that you could potentially use these premade apartments to make a tutorial for people though! If it is a bit complicated when the pack comes out then it could be useful to produce a tutorial to help others understand how to section off separate living areas!
It very likely will just be the Room Tool just slightly different in function. The room tool is literally you just outline a room and it'll set it as a room. I don't see why apartments would need anything drastically different. You'd essentially outline the "lot" for the apartment and it's done.
@@Eventide215 gotcha
"I owe you... " No... you don't. No guilt, build what you enjoy building. Also, it sounds like Sunny is trying to rescue you, because to her it's absolutely insane that you want to be wet.
Kayla I SWEAR we will NEVER get bored of you talking about your cats!!! This whole video I was constantly going "AAAAWWW" and my heart was overflowing with the adorableness of these little stories and I miss having cats of my own so it's just nice to listen to anecdotes about them
What I NEED in CAS: not just filter hair by length or texture, but by if the hair has fringe/ bangs or not. If my Sim has bangs I don't want her to suddenly not have them in a updo. 😅
I can't believe you didn't mention that each unit can hold 8 sims, which means you can have a lot that houses 48 sims!
WHAAAAAT?! (how old are you meme)
How did you find that out?
A Simsguru confirmed it under the short video.@@theeverythingkid
@theeverythingkid it's been stated by the simgurus last week, and they posted a video. You can have up to 6 units, each housing a max of 8 sims, unless you use a cheat that will let you have more
This news all SOUNDS great but I am deeply worried about how well this will actually function in game- knowing the Sims 4’s track record, I fear this pack will just be a laggy and unoptimized mess
You should try to make the pink palace from coralline once the pack comes out!
I've been wanting to see her make the pink palace for forever!
I’ve been thinking of doing this!!
yes i want to see this so bad!
I’m dying to know if we’ll be able to build a retirement home. I mean I know we can physically build it but I wonder if we would be able to choose only elderly tenants
my theory for the apartment-marker-tool (name is a work in progess) is the it'll be like the wall tool and you draw the outline of the apartment, there could also be a mini menu with it to count the number of appartments. The sim gurus also said about updating previous builds which makes more sense if the apartment-maker-tool is similar to drawing a wall/room
I wish the sims would do like a huge base game update where they completely go over all thr CAS and the Build & Buy stuff to have some more natural swatches and more items, also i love your videos kayla, im currently watching the nightmare legacy from the begin again and it so good
14:03 Girl cats' love language can be so sweet - they're often much more reserved, less cuddly than males, but they're so discreetly cllingy it's adorable. Like, they twist their little bodies into all kinds of odd concave shapes to avoid being pet, but then sit with you for hours (in a safe distance, back turned, God forbid anybody sees them ahowing affection :D :D)
I personally love that you don't use custom content and just sims items! One of the reasons I like downloading your builds in the sims 4 is that I feel like you always keep in mind the playing aspect of your builds. Some builders make beautiful lots but they are not always as functional to play with.
A retirement community apartment thing would be cute! Just apartments for all the elderly, and nice community space for them to mingle, with rocking chairs, knitting, crafts, painting, chess, a community garden… I think I’m going to do this! So many possibilities! I’ve been waiting on building my own apartments for so long!
I'm so curious to see if this new pack will blend well with tiny living. I'd love to have multiple units that can qualify as any of the small house sizes individually, even if everything on the lot combined would exceed those limits. Like a duplex where each unit is 100 tiles kind of stuff.
Absolutely love the build and the kitten story time ☺️
I really love that you don't use cc. Accessability is so important and I think you make great use of the variety of items we have. :) Can't wait to see what else you will build!
i’m very excited for this expansion pack. it’s been something i’ve been waiting for.
I've been building a couple of fake apts for the new pack too! I'm so excited to try it out next month! 😁💙
Love this mini series, these apartments are gonna be so fun to play with! Also I do prefer the builds with loads of packs, I might be a minority but I just love the variety 😍
I can't wait to see the ones you build when the pack comes out 😊
we're not wasting time with these build, merely practicing on what we know and what exactly would our style be for the pack. :D
Love this! I can't wait for the new pack to come out. I really want to do apartment shell challenges!
I'd almost guess that they'll be something that functions like the flooring tool that you use to draw out the apartments (without it actually affecting the flooring of the build).
my railings get almost exclusively messed up when there is a fence attached to the railing, if i dont have a fence connected the railing works fine for me
you can convert all of your previous 'fake' builds to real ones really easy too! (or so ive hered) honestly, this is the first pack since i joined in 2021 I am really really REALLY! exited about!!!!!!
I dare you to build a base game build that almost *exclusively* uses that horrible magenta swatch on everything lol
I find it amusing that I've already included 4- and 6-unit apartments/condos in my world, yet somehow never considered adding duplexes or townhomes. It's like they slipped my mind, but now I realize they could be a great addition! Now if they could only do this with restaurants.
Oh my, that makes so much more sense for that HUGE residential lot right in the middle of Del Sol Valley…this is gonna completely change how we use and build on lots!❤
Thank you so much in advance for base game apartments 😭 I wish I could play in your pastel townhouses, they're beautiful. Also agreed that City Living apartments are either too huge, too weirdly shaped, or both. I'm trying to renovate a massive penthouse and making a floor plan has been frustrating. I'm about to bulldoze a 6 hour build and I want to cryyy
I literally cannot wait to finally make apartments! This was one of my favorite things to do in the Sims 3.
I feel like this pack will also be great for doing old-folks homes or gated communities for the elderly
"I bulldozed a starter home and built a rental property" slowly raises rock
*lilsimsie said it about a sims build* slowly lowers the rock
Shrimp clocking lilsimsies routines is insanely adorable 😩💞 I love all the cats little personalities, they all love her so much 😊💜
Honestly, I really appreciate you doing these builds right now, even though they aren't functional yet and you won't be going back to them.
It gives me a chance to see how someone better at building than me does something like this, and gives me the chance to practice before the new pack comes out.
Really appreciate you, Kayla
if i remember right, the sims team said the railing update was just the first fix of hopefully more as they figure out how to just have the railing one one side and not two when one side is against a wall! it's obviously glitching a lot, but they're still actively working on it!
They should keep it pretty close to something they already created for the multi front doors thingy. Since sims is so old now it's probably easiest to keep that kind of organization under the "set front door/ set unlocked to/ set locked for" action. Or a placard like the no shoes indoors sign in snowy escapes. They most likely will make it like the townhouses in America where the landlords is at the start of the street and gets all the mail to their house where you gotta retrieve it.
I love listening to you talk about Snap and Shrimp cause it reminds me of exactly how my cats act, Hunter (9 years old female) is super chill but does the exact same as Snap and Otto (almost 2 years male) is super clingy and will be practically on top of you all the time. It’s nice to know that the cats are so similar lol
Hey Kayla, I just wanted to let you know that the railing glitch with the stairs is most likely being caused by the fence on the same side at the top or bottom of the stairs! Even when the fence is just touching the stairs it seems to cause an issue. It's super annoying but I've found that it usually fixes itself when I delete that fence and use a half wall instead.
Since the announcement I have learned a lot about different types of dwellings. Going through all the worlds, thinking (or building) different homes for each.
I AM SO EXCITED! I love getting some Southeastern Asian building items.
I was expecting 4 units or less, because it's very similar to how apartments worked in Sims 2, 4 often feels like 1.5 or a sidegrade from 2, and in TS2 apartments had no upper limit on units per building but did have a maximum of 4 playable households per apartment, so I'm pleasantly surprised that we got more than 4 units.
Snap does the same thing my Sonny boy does! He will try to get me to follow him to my bedroom just so he can sleep knowing I’m right there. And if I don’t go to bed, he’s on the couch or on the floor or my ladder step stool in the kitchen, wherever I am. I love hearing your kitty stories!! And this apartment is absolutely adorable!
you describing shrimp is very similar to my own male kitten who basically wants to crawl up into your arms 100% of the time. i guess the difference is that ollie is much more interested in getting up in your lap while your using the bathroom then playing in there but STILL. your kitties sound so sweet eeeee!
im also just. really excited for this new apartment thing 👀i might actually have to buy this instead of wanting from afar
FWIW, Sim Guru Nova explicitly said to start pre-building (over on Twitter). Apparently it’s easy to convert existing lots into a Residential Rental lot!
I hope this opens the door to having retail and residential lots on the same lot
When our cat sees me going to the bathroom, he sprints there and gets on the counter. He LOVES flowing water and it drives me absolutely nuts
i’m the opposite, i hate the building but love the interior decoration moment!! i would love if you built only the exterior or like “move in ready” kind of style!! i love your buildings lilsimsie💕💕
Been watching since a few hundred thousand subscribers- love your videos and i'm so excited every time i see a new pack and want to see your thoughts on it. excited to see what you do with it!
I know simsie talks about not wanting to have CC to make her builds accessible but I wonder if she would enjoy doing like a CC sunday, or something where she can go all out with whatever CC she wants with out having to worry about it. almost like a creative outlet. it's probably not worth it for the amount of work she would probably have to do on the backend (linking, downloading, undownloading) but I thought I would mention it because I think it would be cool to see (and if she ever feels the urge to do so then she knows that it's something at least one person would love to see)
I have an lot in one of my saves, with a apartment building i tried basing off the apartment i live in. This might be the first pack I'll buy on console.
Hello Kayla! I love listening to your cat updates cause I also have a 12 year old cat. Whenever she hears your voice in the screen, she sprints and watches the video sitting next to me😂 I don’t even know if she understands anything but she stares to the screen so deeply I just assume she understands that you also love cats. By the way you can build as many apartments as you’d like, me and my cat will watch anything you post
Kayla is really just setting us up to change her old ones for us to use when the pack does come out if we don’t wanna build but wanna rent a lot
This is basically the only TS4 pack I've ever been exited about. One thing I WISH will be a thing, but most likely not, is to be able to have apartments above funtioning shops, restaurants, clubs etc. So you can both be the annoyed upstairs neighbour or the owner living above.
This has made me all the more hopeful they’ll release an hotel pack soon (managing different units isn’t much different than managing rooms)
I think it's cool that you collect the graves. Odd. But cool 😊
Thank you for your calming energy!
My cat stays with me until I go to sleep. Then goes and does whatever she wants. And when it comes to me going to different rooms, she always keeps an eye on my movements. If I'm in the bathroom, she wants to be there too. So you are not alone in that scenario.
I adore this build! I love it when you go all out! Gorgeous!
Love watching the speed builds, my plan is honestly big lot and like 6 small houses? Since we can have them separate it should be fun to see if you can "own the neighborhood" in a way.
Excited about CAS and NEW TRAITS!
👀
11:36 Aww, my mom's dog does that with her. He doesn't scream at her, he's a very soft silent boy but he will wait for her in bed and try to get her to come to bed when he gets tired. He's old now so it gets earlier and earlier.
Sometimes she's away for several days and initially she asked me to sleep in her bed so that he isn't freaked out. I find it really uncomfortable sleeping in someone else's bed tho, so now I just make sure there's a soft light burning in her room, that the room is a comfortable temperature and his favourite pillow is there and all that and then I bring him inside there and leave the doors open so that he can come to me if he needs anything. Such a momma's boy hehe
The big, big houses with all the expensive stuff in it is such a childhood memory!
its such a fun pack aaaaaah im so excited!! to any simmers be sure to sign up for playtesting and check back often!! ive been dying to play this 😭
I hope they add the lots in the videos to libraries (considering which packs you own) like you had a spa building, penthouses, libraries etc with other packs, because some of them are cute and I assume peeps who don't build that much themselves to get lots like that would be neat as sometimes you get stuff from the gallery and it incorrectly shows owned so you get broken lots as in missing stuff
Our cats put us to bed, too. One just hops up, asks for a treat, hangs out for a bit and then leaves, but the other (the kitten) insists on playing fetch for a while before we go to sleep lol
Love this!
You should build a tiny home village type scenario in preparation for the new pack!
Living for the fake apartments, and I’m LIVING FOR THE REAL APARTMENTS
i will literally never be tired of hearing about kayla's cats. they are so cute 😭😭🥹💗💗
Unrelated but I would love to see a snippet of Snap "putting you to bed" by screaming. 😂 Thank you for always sharing super informative (Sims-wise) videos. Super pumped for the next expansion!
I love your videos. They inspire me to build even if I'm not good at it. Thank you so much❤️
The sims having a baby being the only personality trait to the one apartment is so relatable lol. My kid is 3 and I'm just now finding myself again.
Hi! Wish you great day. It is 23:00 here but I am still gonna watch it
This is going to be amazing!
Ok but seriously why did we need to wait for a game pack to get this when we have city living already???
I'm not a cat person but wow you really made me wanna squish a bunch of kittens righ now. Enjoyed both the build and podcast so so much.
This is a real game changer, half of housing is apartments, town houses or even houses sharing a single wall.
They aren’t a waste of our time! The gurus on twitter have been saying any lots you build now can easily be converted to apartments with the new pack! The said they want to encourage people to do pre-building. 💖
These apartments are so beautiful!! I can't wait for the new pack
I also hope we can select the rooms, it would make lots easy to edit. I can't imagine they'll make the buildings built with the expansion hard to renovate because otherwise landlords would have to be really rich to even own lots
I love that we can add it into other worlds, I love the fact I'll be able to build a university Halls just like they are in the UK!
Talking about the cats is so relatable, my cat follows me to the bathroom and will sit in the sink and watch me if I am using the bathroom but it I am in the shower I gotta make room because she’s coming in with
Oh Kayla, this is not a waste of our time. :) This is a great chance for us to get ideas about how to build apartments and if we are bad at it, to get cute apartments from you. Please continue to build apartments for the next month. It is so fun to watch.
SimGurus confirmed it'll be super easy to switch residential lots to rental lots, it looks like they did put a lot of though into this and I'm so here for it
SimGuruNova said on Twitter that we could build all the apartments we wanted, they should be relatively easy to be changed as real apartments once the EP is out. So it's not a waste of time at all!
a german fellow here, i love watching your videos before i go to sleep😄 it's always an amazing evening routine!!
I like when you do the build where you have no pack limits. It makes me feel inspired to build since i love how colorful they tend to be.
I'm so excited about the possibility of in law suites! It'll make building for legacy families more fun!
i hope the next search colors to come out in the game are deep, elegant jewel tones and relaxing muted tones
As far as the graves go, I honestly think at some point you should make a big, huge tomb. A big tomb that can hold all of these graves. Maybe they’re just urns inside of it? But like a big, huge family tomb to house, all of these graves/urns. Please make this please build this.
James Turner identified a railing glitch being from fences. If a fence touches the stairs the railing disappears. So that could be it for someone struggling, too.
