"Definitely hate red." -Simsie wearing a red shirt 😂❤️
Came here to say this 😂
I know it's red but to me the little flowers are giving it a more brownish undertone and my brain keeps switching between "it's red!"; "wait no! brownish???"
It’s actually maroon. A mix of a reddish pink with brown undertones
My friend said the same thing and she was wearing a red shirt and was eating out of a red lunchbox
✨CLASSIC SIMSIE✨
Thoughts on Kayla's ears: she has two of them.
Yes very much
Indeed
she definitely uses them to hear things
Are you sure? We have only ever seen the left one
She has them.
it is so nice hearing a public figure talk about insecurities. it helps my mental health to hear that i'm not the only one biting my nails and similar. we love you so much in all forms and the way you are, doesn't matter what you look like at all
you’re right, it doesn’t matter, but she’s so pretty though 🤧 plus she is the sweetest person. she always cheers me up and i absolutely adore her
@@milouiscool i absolutely agree
Hi! I also used to bite my nails a LOT and idk if u wanna try quitting (I was so insecure abt my hands and I felt very un-feminine so for me I really wanted to) but it took me years to finally stop. What worked for me is making my new ‘obsession’ taking care of my nails. So I would bring like a nail file w me everywhere if I felt like biting to remind me of why I was quitting (and so when I got like a little hook in my nail I could easily get rid of it without biting bc it bothers me soo much) and every night I would use different oils and stuff and push my cuticles back/cut excess off with small scissors and make them look as neat as possible. It’s hard for the first few days (maybe weeks too) but once they get stronger, longer and healthier you don’t even want to bite them to mess all your progress up (plus my nails are now thicker and stronger so biting is harder for me to do)
I hope this helped! I believe you can do it because I didn’t believe in myself and look where I’m at!
Edit: I use oils every night but I don’t push and cut my cuticles every night!! Only when I think it’s necessary which for me is like max once every 2 weeks (I don’t think cutting it every day is good but idk)
I carry a glass nail file (mine has a plastic cover to protect it) and small nail clippers for the same reason. I'll pick if there's a hangnail or a crack, etc, if I don't have a way to cut or file them. Also, just using a little bit of lotion or oil once a day (or even most days, it's ok to forget sometimes) will go a really long way. There's all kinds of oils that are applied in different ways. I like the brush on kind because they're less oily, less messy, easy to apply, easy to carry in your purse, and you can still use your hands after (unlike the roll on kind or the kind that come in nail polish style bottles). And if you want to paint them, but don't want to touch them up all the time, go for light colors. Skin tones, creams, and pinks are least noticeable when they start peeling (and less noticeable if you get some on your skin). Get one or two nice quality polishes and a good top coat.
@@talishathode that's the thing, I've literally always biten my nails. I don't remember not doing it. And I don't notice it when I do it, it's like a reflex, so it's really hard to stop :(
I'm a CAS simmer and I'm the opposite! I can make sims look real and can style them but building frustrates me so much I have no idea where to start! I've actually made you Lilsimsie but I'm too shy to post to the gallery
Edit: Ok I put a short video out where you can see my Lilsimsie, I really want her to see it ✨
You should post it! I’m pretty sure it looks great
Post it
post post post!!!
I wish I could do either of them. The only time I made a decent house was while following a floor plan off the internet. The interior looked great, the outside was absolutely horrendous because I didn't really know how to design the outside. The only good sim I ever made, at least in my opinion without tons of CC was a sim version of an anime character.
samee
I literally JUST made my whole family and the ground floor of our house (its a walk out basement which is nearly impossible for me to replicate so I’m just going to make it a separate house). I casted the house on the sims to our tv and gave the family a tour and my sister left because it made her so uncomfortable how close it was to the real thing lmao
I made my ex in the game while we were dating and he was also super uncomfy about how like him it looked 😂
@@KittyCat-lu7gw same experience
I love family 😂 I love how you’re doing this instead of partying and your sister is like nah this is weird 😂
My brother did the exact same thing with our house! He sat down in every room as he was making it and added every detail he could, adding clutter everywhere but still making it functional. When he casted it to our tv, we were all super impressed but also mildly uncomfortable with how accurately he was able to reconstruct our house in the game lmao. When he got to the room we were in while watching, that definitely freaked us out the most. Everything matched. It was almost uncanny valley just because the game’s style is more on the cartoonish side. His build did come in handy when I wanted to paint my room and refurnish it though. It also came it handy when my dad wanted to redo the bathroom lmao
I did this when my brother bought a house and we were trying to help him figure out what furniture he needed to get since he previously lived in a tiny tiny apartment. He was shocked at how accurate I made it to his new home 😂 but it actually really helped him pick furniture and furniture colors!
I wish the socially awkward trait would make it so sims get negative mood let’s about socially interacting or going to events instead of making them just have a bad relationship with everyone. Because at least in my experience, no one had ever hated me because I’m socially awkward and I’ve always had lots of friends. I just get like really anxious that I’m gonna mess things up and I do sometimes mess up what I’m saying but that doesn’t lead the other person to like me less. So I think it would be cool if they just got uncomfortable or nervous in social situations. I enjoy going to parties but you can bet at the same time I am very uncomfortable and internally freaking out about how to interact with people. And maybe they could of also made it so when social interactions fail that the sim gets sad or embarrassed.
I have met multiple people who are socially awkward, as in they will say the wrong thing and it does make you dislike them more. You (and me, lets be real here) sound more socially anxious than awkward. In general we just need more traits so our Sims are more nuanced
@@BlondLoki We also need to be able to choose more than just 3 traits. Like, what person in the whole world are only defined by 3 things? 🙃
I'm socially awkward, but not disliked either. I often have no idea what to say or say very little etc. Awkward silence is awkward. 😂
@@BlondLoki I have social anxiety because I am socially awkward. Why would I have social anxiety if I had nothing to be afraid of? And I told you I do mess things up sometimes but it doesn’t make people dislike me.
the loner trait does almost exactly that lol just with a different name!
@@harlow0917 not really.
Literally, what you said about how we amplify our insecurities... that is the main reason why I struggle to make my simself. I don't really have a problem making others (except sometimes I run out of creative juices and lose interest). I just don't feel like anything I do with my simself is right.
hearing you talk about your anxiety so candidly is inspiring as a teen who's been struggling with pretty severe anxiety and other mental health issues for YEARS
Simsie: hates red
Also Simsie: wears a red shirt
To be fair, I hate blue, but I have a cool complexion and look good in it so, compromise 😂
@@Frenchaboo lol my sister hates green but looks rlly good in it because of her red hair
@@nesisbest same
I absolutely hate the color yellow I only own the one thing that's yellow
It really helped to have my partner design me and I helped design her sims self. She’s better at CAS for sure but more than that I think it helps to have someone who loves you and looks at you a lot design your sims self. We’re all often our often biggest critics, and while our honesty can center on the flaws we see in ourselves, their honesty often focuses on the parts of the us they find most appealing.
It helps myself esteem a lot to regularly see how attractive I am in her eyes.
i just sat down with a bowl of pasta and my computer to play the sims PERFECT timing
This is a beautiful comment
How was your pasta?
I'm playing Sims while waiting for my pasta to finish...lol. Hi twin😘
We love a good pasta and some sims! ❤️❤️❤️
was your pasta good?
“Let’s be honest with ourselves, I don’t wanna think about it” such a mood. I just go skinny everything.
All jokes aside, Kayak should give herself more credit on her sims, all of them are pretty decent 😇
Kayak is a nickname her twitch chat came up with 😂
kayak😭😭
I think it has to do with the fact that twitch chat will get upset in how she creates a Sim.
Ahh yes “Kayak” is very good at the sims
kayak lmao
Not really... "Kayak" is really bad at CAS actually
The "let's be honest with ourselves" part had me laughing out loud for 5 minutes straight lmfao
tip for anyone else wanting to make themself: take a front facing photo and a side profile and switch between them when needing reference.
also take advantage of dragging parts of the body instead of using presets
i managed to make a pretty accurate sim self by doing this :)
For party wear I always have three or two options. A family friendly one and picking up people at the bar
Honestly for me I could never make myself in the Sims without CC.
Same. Mostly because none of the hairstyles have bangs. xD
4:30
Evil Demon Lord : "You are PUNY and WEAK !"
Simsie : "Yeah sounds about right"
I'm a digital artist and honestly, I spend 90% of my time ingame in CAS. I love making sims of fictional characters specifically, and if they're from something live action or have a real person's face attached to their image, I find as many references from different angles of the person's face as I can! I have folders on my phone full of headshots and screenshots of people I've made sims out of, easily a dozen photos of the face and several of their full bodies per person!
On top of that, my Simself is my favorite sim to play with. It's like a little personalized dress-up doll, in a way. I'll make little tweaks to them over time to make them look more like how I look in the moment (dyed hair, haircut, gained or lost weight, etc) and it's kinda helped me with some body issues! My Simself isn't a 100% accurate depiction of me irl, but it's really close, so seeing them be confident in clothes I don't wear or things like that make me think better of myself :)
You're 100% right about us amplifying our own insecurities, i made my simself and thought it looked alright but my partner made my simself and i thought it was too cute to look like me. it's truly sad that we have this mentality about ourselves :( also the "let's be honest with ourselves" part had me cracking up for the past five minutes
You look great! You're adorable. Making your sim self is hard. I've tried to make myself and my family... I always end up needing cc to make them look right.
I'm so close to getting my Sim self right with a combo if in game things and CC. If anyone knows of lip piercing cc please let me know ❤️❤️❤️
true!
Opposite problem. I suck at building houses. I get extremely discouraged sometimes when i see others build.
But i know for damn sure i can make a bangin lookin sim.
I’m the same… honestly about 75% of the houses, and especially community lots in my game are from Kayla. I can update an already built house but building from scratch is not my forte
I love making sims but I just download from the gallery so my sims have a place to live. The only time I've ever built is when I recreated my house, even then I only furnished it and didn't do any landscaping
Same! Recently to practice I've been placing my gallery lots unfurnished so I can try to get better. I've also learned a lot from youtube builders. I still don't know how they free rotate objects though 😅
Making real people: hard.
Making yourself: IMPOSSIBLE
Simsie: “I hate red”
Also simsie: *wears red* 😂
I know you're an anxious person simsie but your very existence and videos give me strength every day to go on with my life and deal with my own anxiety. You're wholesome, cute, you are sweet. Just keep going and I can't wait to see how far you'll go.
Agreed! Her videos are always so comforting when I’m having bad days :)
@@loraciee She really does an amazing job at supporting people from afar! She's awesome for it. I'm glad to know that you feel that way too.
i really appreciate that you clearly edit your subtitles to read exactly what you're saying. i need subtitles and a lot of people just keep the auto generated ones and it makes it really hard to follow along. can't wait to watch the full vid!
Not sure if you are aware, but Sonya Sims has a hairstyle called Lilsimsie and it looks just like yours! The official name is different, but when you download it, it's called Lilsimsie.
I went in to CAS and the randomly generated sim looked EXACTLY like my sister. I had to save and start a new save because I didn’t want to risk losing such a perfect copy of my sister
Save and start at new save? You could just save the sim in your gallery.
I've made maybe three versions of myself. The first died out in the game through old age. The second was in another save and I don't play in it but the latest one is the closest one to me. I even built a copy of my house for him to live in. It's more 'inspired by' and not exact.
i've tried making myself in the sims before, but my face is completely asymmetrical so that's obviously really hard to recreate in the sims. even if i decided to not recreate the asymmetry, i also can't just get my general face shape and proportions right XD i'm just not good at making sims in general tho so it's not just a Me thing lol
That’s true, the sims make the faces symmetrical. Everything you do on one side is applied to the other side too. But in real most people have asymmetrical faces so that might be a reason lots of people’s simself looks weird. There’s a filter on like tiktok or Instagram or something which will take one side of your face and apply it mirrored to the other side so it makes your face look symmetrical and you can tap to change which side of the face it’s replicating. On most people the filter looks really weird because they just don’t have symmetrical faces. I’ve also heard that apparently slight asymmetry is considered more beautiful than symmetry because if someone has a symmetrical face that looks really perfect, our brains find it unnatural and too perfect. It would be nice if there was a button you could press to switch off the symmetry in the sims and then you could edit the two halves independently. Hopefully they add that in the sims 5.
Tbh Mod will help with face shapes that aren’t in the game
They’re an assymetry mod
all jokes aside, i really do admire simsie for talking about her insecurities in this video
Pro tip, you can rotate the nise to make a bump! It’s makes a little circle
I am fully convinced that sims cas is its own art form that only a few have the capabilities of mastering
The anxiety bit really resonates with me. Like if something doesn’t go the way I planned it in my head beforehand, I’ll get really annoyed lol 😂
you're good at anything sims related 😂
true
I mean she’s a Simmer 🤣
Thanks for being so open and honest about your insecurities and for bringing up and normalizing things like skin picking ❤️
For real tho, this comment needs more thumbs up!
Simsie looks fine in SimsieSave 10. But hey...an update works wonders.
You're also a fairy of technology (spinningplumbobs fairy vs witches). Is that ok?
I love watching your videos Simsie. Currently catching up from somehow being a full month behind, so I’m working my way back up to recent. ☺️ See you talk about insecurities with CAS and even real life stuff really means a lot to someone who suffers tremendously from her anxieties. It means a lot hearing you acknowledge it, perhaps so I know how I feel is normal instead of spiraling on the fact I am spiraling. You’ve been such an amazing companion to me, as I’ve never had anyone to talk about Sims with and share the adoration for. I love seeing the community you’ve built off it and it really makes me feel not alone in this world. Thank you for being such a tender part of my life, and thank you to the community who also follows. I often enjoy the chat from your streams, and the gracious people who comment on your videos. 💕 Much love your way and to the community~
You should build a house using only the styled rooms (the already made rooms) 💕
I completely remade my IRL house to scale in the sims and my wife/kids so that we could model re-arranging furniture in our house and what it might look like.
totally understand this vibe of being "close" but not right looking.
As someone with anxiety, I also feel seen by the high maintenance trait, even though I am a VERY low maintenance person.
Someone whose super good at this should make lilsimsie in the sims!
I'm the same way with building lmao, I just can't seem to figure out what looks good. I LIVE in cas, the key to making realistic sims is the sliders lol some of them are not very noticeable at first but there's alot of em
Your Sim came out really cute, Simsie!
I don't know about you, but when I try to focus close up on individual features I run into trouble! I've been trying to go for the "gestalt" of the face I am looking at, focusing on proportion... and then taking lots of artistic license ;)
I really wanna teach Kayla how to do CAS because I’m like “you can alter that, YOU CAN ALTER THAT-“
Also I’m a visual artist so CAS comes easy to me thankfully, it’s a lot of fun to make unique sims.
I think you are absolutely stunning Kayla! Ive been following you for years and sort of grew up with you and whenever i watch your videos it makes me feel calm and at ease like im listening to a friend. Thank you ❤️
really liked this video! love seeing people who aren't "good with cas" doing it bc it shows that you really aren't bad at it!!
i just started college and being alone in my dorm all day has reignited my sims addiction
“It’s too hard to make her because she’s too beautiful.” - my 7 year old
AWWWWWW THATS SOOOOOOO SWEEEEEEEETTTTTT
Kayla: HATE red
Also Kayla: *wears red in this video*
Thank you for being so comfortable showing us what you truly are like. Steeping out of your comfort zone is so hard and I appreciate you
It would be fun to do a simsie look a like challenge where you go on the gallery and try to pick the most realistic fan made simsie sim
I feel like that might get weird…
Tbh I think the new high school pack hair, the short on with little braids in the front, looks quite similar to how you wear your hair! Also you did a great job!
i’m on the total opposite end of the spectrum. i professionally ✨attempt✨ art, so i know a lot about proportion and realism to the point that i sometimes get frustrated when i can’t make a sim identical to a person, because, you know.. it’s a sim 😭
When I get the new packs I will def be adding your sim to my save! Your builds inspire me and you’re amazing, you deserve a place in my world! :)
I think you did a great job making your Simself. I find it harder to make my Simself more than I do other people tbh.
I never realized how similar me and Kayla were
This sim is so cute! You did a great job!
I pride myself in being able to make realistic versions of people I know/fictional characters in CAS but when it comes to myself I struggle so hard! Definitely relate to accentuating insecurities! I give myself an absolute BEAK every time 😩
I've recently started creating my In-Laws on my sims saves and I showed them, they are very cartoony but they love it so much which makes me feel really good!
the party wear struggle is so real for me...i always do two outfits for it bc i never know if it means chill party with friends or like fancy engagement party😭
I struggle with building my sim self, my partner's sim selves, anyone I know in real life. I spent hours one time, staring a photos, just trying to get it right, but I just can't! I usually opt for close enough and call it good. Now, random sims that I play? Easy, I can make super attractive sims that aren't real people. Just, don't ask me to make anyone I know. (Though, now I may challenge myself to make my friends and family again.)
I also wear socks to bed. If I don't, my feet get so cold I can't sleep. No, wrapping them in the blanket does not help.
My doctor has also given me the green light to wear socks to bed, so WEAR YOUR SOCKS TO BED Y'ALL. IT'S DOCTOR APPROVED!!
Only thing I would add would be a subtle blush in every outfit
You did a great job. I absolutely cannot create real people in cas, I depend on the gallery for that. I've never tried to make myself because of my dysmorphia, I couldn't even get passed the selfe part to use as reference. I'm constantly amazed and in awe of the community members who are so good at this, it's amazing.
Dan has to make you in the Sims it would be so cool!
does anyone else find that they can make like friends and family in the sims really well but when it comes to actually making yourself it’s impossible?:’)
this is so cute
I’ve noticed that changing the facial features (forehead, cheeks, chin, etc.) makes a huge difference on how accurate a sim is to the reference person. Also, you can use whatever shirt you want as a swimsuit top! My sim has a blouse and a matching swim bottom as her swimwear.
My one attempt at making a "real" person was Cloud Strife (from Final Fantasy), but I only have the base game. So his hair wasn't right and none of the clothes were punk enough, but I was proud of him regardless.
Kayla you’re adorable! You did a great job at making a simself.
I once made me and my boyfriend in The Sims and he said, "You look cute, but why do I look like I suffered stroke recently?" 😭 I know he was just being polite when he said "You look cute." 😂
You should do a gallery competition to make you
7:13 dude me too. i literally only have one long nail that i miraculously haven’t but off. having acrylics has helped me a lot in the past though because you can’t bite them off!
With a great sadness from my nails and teeth, I have to unfortunately tell you that if you are really really stressed you could be able to bite off acrylics (Been there, done that. Few times). But please don't try it, it hurts like hell.
When I try to make a sim version of a real person, I always use a mod to remove EA lashes, and apply custom, real looking lashes. It helps a lot as it makes sims look less cartoony.
I live you simsie!!
*love
I find making real people in the sims fun. I can't build to save my life though.
i am now thriving with the fact that kayak makes herself look nice for the camera and wears a fancy top even though she’s also wearing pyjamas
I swear every time I watched your videos I feel like we are so similar! Anxiety buddies! I’m glad you talk about it and are very open
I too struggling making those really accurate sims, so for my self-sim I just make sure the hair and eye color are close to real life as possible, and then focus on the aesthetic.
Kayla: “I hate red!”
Also Kayla: wears red
i hate red too but i do wear it sometimes. every now and again i’ll wear a dark red/ maroon clothes but trust me, the hate is still there
It just looks good on her, Lol
Hanging out with my kitty and watching Kayla, it's a good afternoon.
I absolutely LOVE this video! "I am not currently accepting comments on my appearance at this time" lol love it! You're beautiful!
ive dealt with varying degrees of body dysmorphia since i was in middle school and creating myself in the sims helps me remember what i actually look like so this is like an every other week exercise for me lol
Whenever I try to sleep (or just end up sleeping) while wearing socks, by the time I get up, I've lost one or both and/or they end up on upside down/crumpled/etc. Nowadays I just sleep with an extra blanket about half-way up my bed and skip the socks, lol. 🤣
the cas traits section was too funny lmao
i love and hate making myself cuz im the opposite
i always make the best version of myself, how i would want my eyes to look, how fit id want to be, etc
and then i sit back and have an existential and identity crisis on why i dont and why i havent done anything to change it lmao
I can see you in her! I haven't played with my Sim self in a few years but she's in my template save. This current legacy MCCC put her with Alexander Goth so I did take the time to unmarry them so I could marry them myself 😄. They didn't have kids, ironically my mod that gives Sims 5 traits gave her Hates Children, which as a mom makes me laugh so I haven't updated it.
I create Sims as much as I build homes, which is to say I don't in general. My sims either come from the gallery, play with genetics, cute townies I see and snatch up into my library, or my legacy playthroughs. The founder of my first legacy was a gallery sim and this one was Vlad's daughter who I saw out and about when playing in my previous legacy save.
Oh I 100% struggle just as hard 😂 you are not alone Kayla!!
I have anxiety too and the gameplay for the high maintenance trait is so fitting, also the sim looked really good
I know you said not to comment on your looks but this is ✨positive✨
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
Please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Finally someone else who wears socks while sleeping. All of my friends think I'm weird because of it, my feet just get really cold also I need to protect them from evil nighttime monsters/demons.
i’m the opposite! i’m really bad at building houses but i could spend hours in CAS and never get tired of it
the only problem i have is i hate making sims in front of other people because i look a bit ridiculous changing every single tiny detail even tho it doesn’t matter that much hahaha
Simsie: I always wear socks to bed
👏We👏need👏to👏normalize 👏this 👏
It’s actually really good for you because it helps to regulate your body temperature but I cannot do it haha
I don't struggle creating realistic Sims when I want to, but I still mostly hate doing it, because making your Sim look as realistic as you want to 👏takes👏so👏long👏 There are soo many face structure features that I don't care about, like cheek bones and chins, and I get overwhelmed by how many outfits we "have" to make for them. My excitement for CAS is completely gone after I've realized that my Sim's everyday outfit isn't the only one that needs to reflect the personality I've thought up for them. I don't care about choosing a formal and a party outfit (the latter of which I also always struggle with), I also hate most of the swimsuits, and picking out pjs can be either boring or uncomfortable if you've chosen something a little risque but then remember that you've also made kids for your Sims family, and they have no shame or concerns about wearing lingerie around your kindergartener, and I aslfjajdldljdfl;dja;ajawgjajwllka;l! I'd be more happy with CAS if we just had a daily outfit, formal outfit, and cold weather outfit. I'd be perfectly okay if they game defaulted to having your Sim wearing a generic white robe for pjs and black swimsuit if they enter a pool, and had the formal wear also be party wear.
you have such a *beautiful* side profile, i know you said not to comment on your appearance, but your side profile is just so gorgeous!!
I've made myself, my boyfriend, my friend, both of my cats and a friend's cat. I feel like I'm rather good at CAS, but it takes practice and mostly it takes time to get it right! I used hooours on all of them.
I also used CC, mostly for the hair, cause there's like none of the hairstyles that looked like what I needed. I have bangs (my picture on this channel is like 10 years old, need to update it someday) and copper blonde orange ish hair, Sims only let's you get very red hair.
MAKING OURSELVES IN THE GAME IS SO HARD ToT I only have the base game too so hair and clothes are kinda difficult
I work a job with super late hours and kayla posts at at almost exactly 5am my time so when i get home i get to watch a new video every night!!! 😭☺️
I always thought I was the only one who wore socks to bed!!! Thank you! Love this video :)
I like to take what my game gives me. I might change things here and there but I like what game gives me.
KAYAK!!
We love your cas videos KEEP EM UP!!!!!
