Omg I was dying watching her struggle with that, I’m an architecture student and have been reading floor plans for years so it stressed me out that she couldn’t figure it out
Kayak should build a house replicating the presets in build mode, like the example rooms that you click on and it brings you to the columns, or the kitchen counters or whatever.
When building off of a real floor plan, I've heard to take whatever measurement that the room is and divide it by 2. So that would make one square equal 2 feet. I've done this a few times and it seems to work with a touch of flubbing here and there. So if the room is 8 by 9, make a 4 by 4, always round down. Seems to work for now.
I Love when you build something thats out of your confort zone because you get so creativy and its so fun and inspiring. So, that said, would be nice if next time you try to build a contemporary house based at floor plans :-) sorry my english
Given your normal style is farmhouse/blue house, I would LOVE to see what you come up with for a Mediterranean style from that website. There's some fantastic house plans to take inspiration from. Also, added bonus, I've never seen you have an inner courtyard in your builds so...added challenge? :D
Kayak: I'm gonna use this floorplan. Also Kayak: *immediately builds 3x1 bathroom instead of 2x2 bathroom, so ignoring the actual floorplan from the very first room.
I feel bad but I almost can’t watch these floor plan videos because she doesn’t read them correctly, surprisingly. My perfectionism is like “no no no that’s wrong” and I can’t just enjoy it.
@@sydmt8581 I feel bad, too. I'm "Nope! Can't watch her not follow a floor plan." She's too used to being inspired by an exterior, so when she tries to follow a floorplan I think she just doesn't enjoy it. She has admitted to not enjoying doing interiors, so following a floorplan is just not something she's going to excel at. I really, really enjoy her "strange shape" builds and love putting them in my saves. The plumbob house, the tooth, the ghost, the carrot and triangle, and so forth. With those it looks like she enjoys doing the interior and she goes all out on the decorations and nothing is remotely suburban and she uses things that you almost never see in her suburban builds.
Thank you for bringing attention to that website! I am obsessed with floor plans and using them for my Sim builds. And Pinterest is great but I needed new vibes!
I love these videos! I know you try and keep them basegame only, but I wish you had included the washing machine, that garden would have been perfect for a clothing line!
The fact the stairs were the wrong way around annoyed me so much. But then I saw the top comment mentioning it and it made me feel a little better that I wasn’t the only one who noticed.
Yeah. I feel like she needs to do a build using only packs like Batu or vampires and no base game. Every house is mostly base game, sometimes with some of the more suburban packs.
@@orionstargaze well she uses mostly basegame, because most people only have basegame+ 1or 2 packs. If you want to reach a broad audience, dont show nuclear physics - show basic maths. If the builds were made just for looking good, of course one could use more variety. An example of that would be the 1mio$ mansion she build, I think that one used every.single pack XD
I think the problem people have when they try to build from a floorplan is that they start with a big box that they *think* is about the right size, and then try to fit everything within that box. The best way to do it is to go room by room. And starting where the stairs is is good too, then working around it, because the stairs in the Sims 4 is pretty limited in size.
I really love your videos, I have now watched your videos for about 1 year and I’ve watched almost every SINGLE video you’ve posted since I joined your channel! Love you Simsie!
The ONE THING that really bothers me about her builds is that Kayla, building with UNLIMITED BUDGET, still chooses to place the cheapest double bed in the base game. THE OTHER ONES ARE PRETTIER, not to mention better for ur Sims. USE THEM PLS
I totally understand. Or when she spends 5k+ on decorations and uses the cheapest appliances SMH! Girl, why does one of your kitchen cabinets cost more than your fridge?! Please, I'm beaging you!
Yes but you have to consider she really thinks about those who would want to buy the house and if she uses stuff that is thousands of dollars how is anyone supposed to afford it. Especially when the house is only made for 3 sims. That’s a lot of money
I think the issue is that the back of the house is concealed in the roof in the floor plan, the front is essentially a dormer, that hipped roof should go over the back of the second story, but only the lower part of the hipped roof would show on the one side allowing for windows.
everything she builds is a hospital colored blue. the only couches she uses are the white plastic ones. the only rugs she puts down are brown, and base game. i’m literally going crazy😃
I just got a cat and she always joins me on the couch/bed when I’m watching your video. I’ve loved your content for a while, but my cat is also a fan. ❤️😽
I think this house screams The Sims 3 so much because of those houses by the beach in Sunset Valley. This is the energy I receive from this build and I am here for it...anyone else?
So I love watching Kayla build, but everytime she does these “real floor plans” builds I cringe. She never recognizes the washer/dryer space or tries to follow the listed sizes and then questions why things look wrong 😔
Silly Kayla the stairs were marked being placed the other way, staring from the little hall by the bedroom downstairs! That’s why the upstairs didn’t work!!!
Please make a house that is as inconvenient as possible e.g. the front door leads to a bathroom/ you have to go through a bedroom to get to the dining room etc
hey Kayla ! I just wanted to leave a comment bc I thought it might be helpful I know you h8 garages when building in the sims but you've also talked about wanting a skill building/random bulky objects room in other videos so I wanted to share that what I do when I'm following a floorplan is I make it like a "converted garage" so I can put those things in there !
Please use items from different packs more! I know it's a strange request but I'm getting bored always seeing the same couple of items and especially those awful base game beds.
@@nottknormal We understand that and it is a nice gesture, but in terms of content it is getting a bit stale. Besides, we can always swap out a pack bed for the base game one when we download it, but the video keeps the same bed forever, know what I mean?
Wow your notifications work 😯. I have my notifications on and my TH-cam notifications on in my settings and for some reason I still don’t get notifications from her 😔.
I did this for the first time recently and it was super cool because it was a historic floorplan from my own hometown! Not easy to replicate though because of the roof. A challenge I've been thinking of is to build the shell houses in debug! Like the ones you see in the background of all the neighborhoods but can't interact with :)
ive started and scrapped my real house in the sims so many times because its a long skinny rectangle with a porch all the way to one side. like its lined up with the side of the house. it looks awful in the game, i know i can change it but part of me is like "NO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT EXACTLY HOW IT IS IN REAL LIFE EVEN THOUGH THATS NOT POSSIBLE". im just gonna give the sims house an extra side porch outside the bedrooms. make the box fancier.
Stairs go the other way(there was also basement stairs right there), also there was suppose to be a washer and dryer in the hall way that lead to the master bedroom. I would also kill for the masters bedroom on suit.
To be honest I think I would turn the office in to a living room, so the dining can be more spacious. But I love the weird shape and the color sceem! 😊
The fact that she didn't realised that the upstairs floor plan wasn't working because the stairs were *the other way round* 😭
Yeah I was about to comment that
I was dying. I was hoping she would figure out they were going the wrong way when she got upstairs but she didn't lol
My apologies if I offended anyone by the pill comment. It was not my intention.
@@mswashu okay plz edit the pill thing out, that's kinda offensive /triggering to those who apply.
Omg I was dying watching her struggle with that, I’m an architecture student and have been reading floor plans for years so it stressed me out that she couldn’t figure it out
I love it when she never has an intro and just straight up starts talking
Ive never noticed that but I like that about her videos. My attention span isnt great so it helps me stay engaged to stay on the video
yea I also have a really short attention span so i usually skip through videos but ive never skipped through her videos. very entertaining
Kayla, in the beginning: We can make this work.
Kayla, later: This is fine. Everything is fine.
🐶🔥
every. time.
We kinda need this spirt in real life, tho. Just trick our brains into thinking we can do something n eventually pull it off 😂
POC live in my house and I don't know it yet.
I swear I’ve taken to mumbling “this is fine... everything is fine” ala Kayla at work. ... I’m a therapist 😂
You should do a ranking Every townie in the sims 4
OMG YES
Thats a realy good idea!
HECK YEA!!!
tier rank
Thats a GOOD idea!!!!!
Petition for “This is fine” merch
i was thinking EXACTLY the same :D ♥ but I would like it to say "this is FIIIIIINE." :D
It’s FINE I’m FINE
@@nellfernald3376 YES that's even better xDDD

Signed
Honestly the color of the roof and the siding of this house really reminds me of my great grandma’s house who turned 98 this year
Happy birthday to your great granny !
Happy Birthday to your great nanna 💕
@Elora Mahn I'm so sorry, stay strong darling
your grandma is a different breed asf ! 🥶🙏🏾💯
Aww this comment section is so wholesome
Sims builders any time they have a 2x2 space and nothing to do with it: I’ll just put a desk it’s cool
Kayak should build a house replicating the presets in build mode, like the example rooms that you click on and it brings you to the columns, or the kitchen counters or whatever.
I commented that hat for YEARS!!!!
I thought of this too hahah!
"I say we pretend this issue isn't happing" - story of my life whenever something goes wrong
True 😂

The proper conversion is about 1 tile = 3feet
Doing the lords work over here
Honestly just use fu*** meters. It is much easier.
One Tile -one meter works perfectly.
LilSimsie: this is so bad
Me: Internally sobbing from the fact that I could never build that good
Oh shut up literally everyone says that
kayla: please disregard snap
me, ready to lay down my life for that cat: no
I Love when you build something thats out of your confort zone because you get so creativy and its so fun and inspiring. So, that said, would be nice if next time you try to build a contemporary house based at floor plans :-) sorry my english
Me, this entire video: oh no, the stairs are backward.
Kayla: *doesn't notice*
I just love this build! It's by far my favorite recreation of a real house in the Sims 😍
I've never related to anything more than when the Christmas tree showed up and it was just 👁👄👁oherm

Build your house from Animal Crossing!
She already did
@@mykrofone4724 I'm talking about the house you can upgrade not the villager houses.
@@mykrofone4724 no that was a villagers house
YEAHH
She’s done that before though
Kayak: I'm gonna use this floorplan.
Also Kayak: *immediately builds 3x1 bathroom instead of 2x2 bathroom, so ignoring the actual floorplan from the very first room.
Ontop of that it's a half bath on the floorplan and NOT a full bath like she seems to think it is

@@Montisaquadeis and the stairs are the wrong way and it’s why she didn’t like the upstairs
Of course she doesn’t, sims is like.. it doesn’t convert to sims well, so she just does it by eye..
Thank you for bringing attention to that website! I am obsessed with floor plans and using them for my Sim builds. And Pinterest is great but I needed new vibes!
My favourite thing to do when they have a garage is turn it into a working with the woodwork bench and the flower arranging table

“I’m branching out”
She sais as she uses the same bed and the same rug in a different color...
So tired of it
My thoughts exactly ...I love her builds on the outside but oh Lord the inside it's literally the exact same items in every build.
Yeah. I feel like she needs to do a build using only packs like Batu or vampires and no base game. Every house is mostly base game, sometimes with some of the more suburban packs.

That's the joke
I'm convinced this house was meant to be one side of a duplex so it doesn't end up looking chopped in half.
ive been GLUED to your channel recently. litterally its been 1 week and ive already gotten back to the middle/begging of 2020
I’ve had a really bad day with my anxiety acting up. This video came out exactly when I needed it. I love you Kayla!!!!
Kayla at the start: we can make this work
Kayla immediately: PUTS THE STAIRS THE WRONG WAY
I'm loving your new style of decoration! It's more open and bright!
Kayla looked and sounded embarrassed whenever she opened the lot with the Christmas tree house. 😂
I think the problem people have when they try to build from a floorplan is that they start with a big box that they *think* is about the right size, and then try to fit everything within that box. The best way to do it is to go room by room. And starting where the stairs is is good too, then working around it, because the stairs in the Sims 4 is pretty limited in size.
This is pretty much how I build, room by room. I almost always have to make adjustments but it's a good way to start.
Three years from now Kayak’s new video is going to be called, “building a Sims 4 house IN REAL LIFE, SHOCKING, AMAZING, and LIVABLE!!!!!!!!”
I really love your videos, I have now watched your videos for about 1 year and I’ve watched almost every SINGLE video you’ve posted since I joined your channel! Love you Simsie!
Yaaay
I'm only halfway through the video but I just realized she put the stairs on backwards lmao. judging from the comments i don't think she fixed it 😭
Please do more of these! I'm trying to build my mom's house in Sims4 and this helps give me ideas of how to go about certain things. :)
Build challenge idea: NO base game build (because I'm sick of that rug, lol!!)
I looooove these videos! They’re so fun! It’s really cool to see how you translate real floor plans into the Sims.
rest in piece Sims house shaped as a Christmas Tree. You were loved by us all 😭😭🥲

Wow, this is one of my favorite builds of yours. It’s so simple, but so realistic.
Your house just perfectly fell together it is so cute. You inspire me so much
Day 14 of asking Kayla to build a tri level home.
She did
Isn't that a mansion
@@bobbystark1486 when?
What’s that?
@@JustJoe10 a house with three floors
these videos give me so much serotonin
Go away

I really like this build!! Definitely takes me back to the sims 3.
you should make a home worth $2,020 in celebration of this “awesome” year
So cozy and sage and earthy and nice!
Silly Kayla the stairs were marked being placed the other way, staring from the little hall by the bedroom downstairs! That’s why the upstairs didn’t work!!!
I think this is one of my favorite builds you’ve done 😅
Love the bedroom with the new color palette!
This one turned out super nice!!
I like to turn garages in the Sims 4 into Art studios, workshops, or even an extra bedroom.
Merry late Christmas Kayla and everyone!!
Please make a house that is as inconvenient as possible e.g. the front door leads to a bathroom/ you have to go through a bedroom to get to the dining room etc
you should build different aesthetics as houses in the sims. btw i love your channel kayla!!!

I'm glad simsie had so much fun on the stream 😊
The stairs led into the attic and from the attic there is a door leading into the hallway
This turned out so cute!
Please use items from different packs more! I know it's a strange request but I'm getting bored always seeing the same couple of items and especially those awful base game beds.
And the rugs!!!! Ugh
agree i hate those damn rugs
She also always uses that vintage looking dresser, like it has now become a habit for all her bedrooms to look identical, it's a shame
Well she posts the houses to the gallery, so she probably uses the base game stuff so that everyone can download and play in it easily.
@@nottknormal We understand that and it is a nice gesture, but in terms of content it is getting a bit stale. Besides, we can always swap out a pack bed for the base game one when we download it, but the video keeps the same bed forever, know what I mean?
I love it Kayla. Your builds are awesome and they have inspired me to build better in the Sims. Keep up the good work.
A for effort, C for execution
It reminds me of a better version of that *one* house in the base game.
I think the reason the upstairs layout was weird was because the stairs were backwards :)

i dunno why but this build makes me really happy and i instantly happy by looking at it
Kayak is branching out though she went from classic blue suburban to odd green suburban
Stairs go the other way(there was also basement stairs right there), also there was suppose to be a washer and dryer in the hall way that lead to the master bedroom. I would also kill for the masters bedroom on suit.
I actually really like this house. Well done !!
Can you please upload this house? I like it! 😁
Why isn't this on the gallery? It's beautiful!
the way i love this house omfg
You must have felt my vibes. I was watching these videos like all day today
Kayla I look up to you so much your always so positive and so funny!!! I hope you had a amazing winterfest and hopefully daddy winter came😏
To be honest I think I would turn the office in to a living room, so the dining can be more spacious.
But I love the weird shape and the color sceem! 😊
i want to tell you that i watch ur videos every lunch break at work!! thank u for the joy 💛
