I hoped you'd put an outdoor toilet, not very comfy, but definitely realistic in an off the grid farmhouse!
an outhouseeeee

@@nova-ef2sx PLS
if you're Australian it's called a dunny :D
We call them "poop-booth" in Slovakia and it's pretty common when you have a little mountain shed or cottage just for sleeping and grilling with your family at the weekends 😀
I tried playing an off the grid cottage family, but I got SO frustrated that bust the dust came with 5 vacuums, but ZERO brooms. I know that you can upgrade the vacuum to work off the grid, but it’s so immersion breaking.
for sure. the dust bunnies are op and the moodlets are... broken, ironically. i had to turn the dust off because my sims would not function with it enabled, it's kind of pathetic. zero has mods that removes dust bunnies which helps but the pack still has a ways to go
@@kerenb14 Zero also has a broom override for the dust system that allows you to sweep the dust instead of using the vacuums. You can still use the vacuum if you want to, but it's nice for historical gameplays. It's in their "Historical Mods" page on their Patreon and it's the Mop the Dust package.
I agree, but I actually had a little bit of fun with it by adding a solar panel and just having my Sim RUN to go vacuum for 2 seconds whenever we generated a power surplus.
@@caitlinn8616 i bought the robot cleaner (from cats and dogs) and let it do all the work 'cause i'm too lazy lol
@@alicepasolini4403 That's what I normally use, I didn't realize they'd start automatically when there was a power surplus though, that would have been a lot easier!
Please build another off the grid cottage when you have all the packs installed!
no budget, just go to town!
“Ea game changers” is planted in my brain now
Fr same
@@frog5523 a mcyt enjoyer?
me too
It’s planted in all of our brains
"I'm not being paid, they just sent me the pack early."
kayla: "you got eggs" *waves mouse over barn*
"you got milk" *points to chicken coop*
nailed it! (but seriously this build is beautiful)
“You can fish in the pond” ~ has duck and alligator spawns, not fish 😂
Anyone else all giddy about the pre-recorded videos because it means Kayla is with Dan, helping him move to the U.S.?
I’m glad they have each other but it really confuses me that he would want to move to the US. I would give anything to get out of this country. I have no way to though
I would love to watch you make a witch’s cottage (realm of magic/cottage living)!
Yessss plus some of the paranormal stuff would match too
yess!!! such a great idea
Omg that's a great idea
Kayla is so done with saying that EA has sent her the pack early 😂😂
about barn shading (as someone who's grandma owns a farm) cows will leave a mess, dirt will get torn up, it's not going to look nice. like if you want the aesthetic of looking clean what you did looks great but realistically it's going to be pretty dirty
Also: chickens will eat/kill ALL the grass and weeds in their area
I live for Kayla’s builds they are so good
Rigghththth????
Aaah. I knew I'd find the commenting queen somewhere. I didn't find you on Clare Siobhan so I clicked on this. Guess who I saw!
Only the person who has commented 600+ times on Lilsimsie!!!!
@@aimeebrunt7014 Aimee! It’s so good to see again ☺️
I always add wall shelves in my off the grid houses to place lights on. It's super helpful to keep other surfaces clutter free and for small rooms.
Ooo i smell a great lets play opportunity~ id watch every episode! ( like i don't watch every episode anyway lol)
eh she already has 3 lets play series going right now
@@jupiterdownton i know, I watch every episode. I was just saying, I would watch lol
It's so impressive how much you have recorded upfront, so we won't be lost, while you help Dan move overseas. ❤❤
kayla with her gators shows how flogrown she truly is

Lol, I live in Florida and was thinking "Noooo....not gators!" Lol, I hope they can't come out and attack the Sims or animals.
@@kimberlybone1 they cant
@@MEDSZ13.08 Phew! Well that's a relief XD
You know you've been playing to much Minecraft when your mind says her Sims house is too dark, mobs will spawn. What is wrong with me.
I once played too much Minecraft and was going around my house turning lights on everywhere so that "mobs wouldn't spawn", only when I was done did I realize what I was actually doing
@@бульбачка bro 💀
@@бульбачка no bc I do the same thing lmao
Can’t wait for the “I’m fine everything is fine”
I want this on a hoodie.
im literally so excited for the simsie save file update with cottage living!! i wonder if there will be any more new townies!
I’m not sure if she’ll do one since the lots were built by game changers. She didn’t update for Snowy escape.
@@allyson2382 oh ur so right omf- im dumb BYEE yea no that makes sense do you think she'll add townies or change any townies tho??
@@astroangelenvi She made a video about the townies and she said she liked them so i dont think she'll make a video about it
When I’m older me and my cousin both agreed that we will go live in a little cottage surrounded with trees and flowers and go mushroom hunting so these videos help me get an idea of what I want the cottage to look like lol 🍄
Wait I wanna be a dark academia pansexual and live here with my cottage core gf while she teaches me how to farm
Edit: *a n d* I teach her how to play the flute >:0
@@BoomBoomSoup ooo that’s so cool
@@BoomBoomSoup as a cottagecore pansexual I would love to live here and teach you to farm while you teach me flute (as long as you’re willing to have like 3 dogs 👉👈)
@@laurentant8489 any cats?
@@BoomBoomSoup Ofc, ofc!
Kayla’s videos always make my day, I hope everything is going well with the moving process for her and Dan!
Ahh!! I want this build so bad so I can play in it, I can't wait for it to be on the gallery!!!
Ooo...I hope you play this as a challenge! Bees are definitely needed, solar panel, clothesline, dew collector etc would also be great!
Love the lot!
Hi, i was just thinking about the sims at 4am this morning:
Maybe you could do a "Flex Room" - Challenge.
1. Spin the wheel for a decor/style and either for the number of sims living there or the number of rooms besides the ones that are necessary anyways
2. Find rooms in the gallery to fit that style
3. You can't change anything, just place the rooms needed (and with that connect all)
4. Roof everything and make the outside look good 😀
Have fun 🤗
it makes me smile sm to know this is prerecorded, i hope you and dan are having a nice time rn
when doing terrain paint, I usually just put dirt/darker paint around the areas that the sims would have walked around the most. Like I just try to think about where the ground would be the most "disturbed" and I paint those areas with dirt or whatever.
Its her consistent schedule for me 😌
i might cry the day that the “this is brought to you by ea game changers” ends
Ikr 😢🥺
Literally me
It’ll be sometime after Dan is all moved in
@@cannon-evans that’s another reason why i will be crying 😭
im just waiting for this pack to go on sale, so I can enjoy all this "cottage-ness" myself
How much is it in wild wood now so my pc at home?
I love how she pointed at the cow barn and says you have eggs, then points at the chicken coop and says you got milk. 😂
This is such a "Sims, but make it Stardew" way to play and I love that
h ar v e st m oooo n
I REALLY HOPE KAYLA’S ENJOYING HER FIANCÉ’S COMPANY RIGHT NOW ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you want to make it more realistic, here are some tips from the small cottages I have been in that were built before electricity was readily available:
- fireplace(s) are placed in a central part of the building to spread warmth evenly
- the fireplace and the stove are often placed back to back and share the chimney
- if the house has several fireplaces: it was because there were multiple households and they were sectioned off from each other; and the fireplaces then also often shares a chimney
You should play on a lot with every single challenge enabled 🤣 the chaos that would ensue hahahah
James turner just put out that same video! Lmao 🤣
I'm doing that in my most recent game, but it's not that bad. I recently got City Living, but no broken objects yet... maybe that's because my sim only has a shower as far as plumbing objects go. Less than 1 day in though, I got the green circles from Creepy Crawlies... but I lucked out, my Sim got better on their own.
I think the more plumbing items and appliances you have would lead to more problems in that. And for food, I've just had my sim fish, then cook it on the campfire.
Simsie: "We can get them a guitar! Now that's cute" c:
Sim: Starts playing guitar
Simsie: *STOP.*
To anyone reading this, I wish you all an amazing day and hope you stay safe 🥰
Love from a small utuber 💖
Could I get a happy birthday (my birthday is tomorrow)
Holiday pack has a lot of off-grid candles that I like to use. Some of them can also be enlarged without glitching.
This house is so cute and the garden looks really pretty, I love it😍
100% approved!!
Very cute! So excited for off-the-grid potential!
Ugh Kayla makes me so happy every day
Just a tip turn on move objects and then you can layer the lights so you can have more then 1 but it looks like one
I’m in the middle of doing my own off the grid build as you uploaded this. Great minds think alike.
I keep seeing u for these vids.I like that your a true follower:).
Love your videos! Congrats!
Bit of a video idea - Can you get rich by running a retail business in The Sims 4. It utilizes the retail portion of Get To Work. Imagine running a clothing store, collectibles store, or even a bakery or cafe. Would be pretty hilarious if it was like a Rags to Riches type of thing... a Rags to Retail if you say. I love the videos a bit of a while back when you did something similar but it being a restraunt. I did that thing with one of my sims - Georgia Blank and it was... interesting. Georgia falling in love with a staff member and took his money and use it to make the restraunt more appealing. The restruant is named The Sleepery with the gimmick being that everyone except the staff wears their sleepwear attire.
I've been playing a cottage core off the grid household and I've just stacked it full of challenges and it is so much fun 🙂
I’m playing off-grid simple living, Cottage Living works really well with Eco Lifestyle and Laundry Day... I’ve got animals, veggies, solar panels, wind turbines, candle-making, off-grid cooking, washing line... plenty to do to stop Sim boredom when you have moments when you’re not generating enough electricity to run the computer etc!
Can't wait to find out how the move went!!!
I love this pack so much! As always, your builds are amazing!!
I started playing with the off the grid and living off the land lot challenges and it was pretty hard but a lot of fun
Queen uploads:
Me: CLICKS FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
I make vidz 💫💖🥰
Ngl, i like this house. Looks comfy, cows, chickens, pod, outdoor chair, etc
this might be odd but i haven’t been able to watch youtube for a week and i’m finally able to and watching kaylas videos that i’ve missed is making me feel like i’m seeing a friend for the first time in a while.
I'm downloading this house as soon as I get on my game. It's so adorable, and perfect for my Cottage Living Sim (she does all the activities and skills you put in the house)!!
"I need more space!" *makes GIANT pond*
I’m sorry but “this candle thing” had me laughing
Amazing build as always!
A super expensive, off the grid tiny home is super realistic actually, given the tiny home trend is basic trailers but make it 'gram aesthetic using daddy's credit card
ive been playing an off the grid/simple living lot! its really fun to go to town and shop for groceries, but for some reason the laundry pack has not been working with it, even though i chose off the grid laundry appliances
Kayak the goat 🐐 is back at it again. Lilsimiser
Vampires has really good candle options. Has a ceiling candle and a sconce candle
Lolol i build a lot of cottage and Victorian/Edwardian homes, so I utilize those candles every time I play, so hearing Simsie express her frustration is wild to me xD especially since there aren't many good, neutral candle options. Sims needs more generic candelabras and single candles
Hey new to your channel but I had so much fun watching you have so much fun 🤣🤣 you’re so funny and I loved you talking yourself through everything
OMG I want new cottage living simsie save so badly now!
Anyone else super happy that this video is exactly 12 mins long
I mean that rug is lovely, it’s quite easy to use!
girl, my friend has got me to watch u and ur amazing for Christmas I’m getting her your merchandise:)
glitches in the matrix: when the editing makes simsie say something twice
So perfect! I wanna live there so bad!
Every time simsie says she doesn't know how to use the rug then deletes it, i feel like I found myself liking rug as it was? Lmao I love the rug because I feel like no matter the swatch you choose it will look good in the space because it's not so much an accessory as it is a decoration like a painting. I really like it!
I love the icebox! add ice and it works to keep your food cold.
We need better off the grid ceiling lights!
Or at least have them add one Base Game ceiling light.
The Jungle Adventure chandelier is my favorite option to use. And I hope they make that Cats & Dogs barnyard wall candle work off the grid. It has a candle in in, why isn't it functional off the grid?
And in once comment, I was made aware that Vampires does have an off the grid ceiling light, but I don't have that pack.
I'd also like it if off the grid stove's ovens would work. And the addition of a base game windmill or two. And a notebook or typewriter that allows for book writing sans power.
Ong I can’t wait to get it. I’m gonna build the Pride and Prejudice cottage!
It would be so awesome to see a legacy challenge in this type of lot! It might be too much tho given you have to do literally everything, but you wouldn’t necessarily have a lot of bills given lack of electric!
your new merchandise is amazing I own many items and they are good quality
It's builds like this I wish The Sims 4 would make Offgrid Typewriters. Would be nice to be able to do the writing career while fully offgrid. Maybe one day they will come out with an "Going Offgrid Kit" and my dreams will come true if it comes with a typewriter and you have to buy ink, and a solar powered waterproof radio (I dont want free headphones 😂), and a flashlight that sits on tables and blinks occasionally when needing batteries replaced. Also I would like an upgrade option available for campfires and bonfires that won't constantly catch seats on fire (Some of us do know how to prevent forest fires 👈) ❤🌲🌳
Love your build! Its absolutely stunning!
I really like this build!
Omg I love this buildddddddddd
Commenting this from the future for people who are watching this for tips on off the grid living and lighting up the house
I'm honestly super suprised but the wall candles from the My Wedding Stories game pack are actually super good at lighting up a room
I'm not a fan of both the pack and candles(in the sims) usually but these really suprised me and my entire house is littered with them
One tip: If the roof part is floating you can use 0 XD like to make everything go up and down
I would love to see a series with this house!
So from what I've seen of cows is that they normally stay under the shade like a tree and they eat a lot plus they move a lot so under trees and where their barn is would have the most dirt plus they all normally stay with each other so you would have a giant spot of dirt and then blend into just normal grass. Hope that helps and sorry if my wording is werid 😅
haha "why are the ducks floating"
uh simsie that's what ducks do 😂
Hey, Kayla. The build isn't on the gallery yet, can you double-check? I really love this home and would love to use it for a personal storyline I'm working on. Thank you!
Since she's using the special version of the game with the watermark, she can't upload to the gallery. I know she plans on uploading them eventually, but I'm not sure if they can just be transferred over to the real game once the pack is released or if she has to manually remake everything, so it might take a while.
@@caitlinn8616 Ah- thank you.
Oh boy I love this one
There is more off the grid lighting, it doesn't all show up. There is a chandlier that is candles. I used it in my off the grid house.
Points to cows “got eggs” points to chickens “got milk”- lil simsie 2021
might b one of my fav builds by u
Cause my brother knows I love The Sims he made me became a teenager and for my 13th birthday he made me a little cottage with a dog a cow and a chicken coop. I love him.
Happy birthday~!
@@Aiden-V2.0 thank you 😊
petition for kayla to start all her other videos with "this video is not being brought to you by ea game changers, im not getting paid and this pack is out for everyone", i am so used to the rhythm of it now
Hi lilsimsie i love your merch and videos
Had to turn on my own brightness to see this build 😂😂😂
omg i need this cottage!!!
Kayla: *turns on move objects*
Also Kayla: ITS FLOATING THATS NOT FAIR
I should build this but the back is the front, btw it looks so nice
This is such a cute house!
I, too, am embarressed about how much fun I'm having with the new pack! Haha
Yes I needed this!!
You could put camping lanterns in, they work off the grid and give a bit more light.
I need a LP for this!!!
When you combine packs, you should try to mix and match. Cottage on the beach? OK. Beach house in the countryside? That would be really funny.
Love the content
“It’s fine, we’ll figure it out” 😹 one of the common things she says
Bruh 10:39 you got eggs *points at cow* you got milk *points at chicken*
