To be slightly fair, having wide windows on towers was not a thing in the gothic era. Usually, those windows were very small on castles (think Alcázar of Segovia) to both defensive reasons and how hard making wide windows on a curve really is. The type of building with large windows in this era would be cathedrals, and whereas they would have very fancy windows even on curves, those windows would be very tall and skinny. Think Sainte-Chapelle (Paris). So only having the small windows work on rounded walls may be a nod to realism here. Still, kinda lame we got no rose windows in the pack. It isn't like we're overburdened with round windows in the sims 4.
As a Brit who's watched your videos for ages I still never get used to all the bathrooms 😂 whenever theres a small weird room I think "oh a fun hobby room!" and you immediately say 2nd/3rd bathroom lol That round space is PERFECT for an easel for a little painting studio, or getting a violin and making a music room! Even FILLING it with plants and having a reading nook ❤
If i had a nickel for every time kayla accidentally made mickey mouse in a build in the past month id have two nickels. Which isnt a lot but its weird that its happened twice
Round walls tip: if you run into that problem where you place an object in a round area and then can't grab it again, change the walls view so that the walls are completely down/hidden. It'll work again that way.
@@greyscaleanon7551 we need more changing tables... imagine a fun roughshod wooden Werewolf changing table!! Super baroque vampire table. High tech mysterious automated alien changing table. I should ask EA to hire me actually bc I can picture these so clearly in my mind...
Hehehe.... The Sims use Kayla! Even though innocent. Sims get a lot of Ideas off her channel I’m sure! We all know we have! lilsimsie doesn’t know it but they use her for free advertising and have made a ton of money! I’m a Canadian and I’ve spent 100’s on packs because I liked what I seen with in her builds! We pay 60$ for a game pack! 14.99 and then 6.99! For what sometimes she says is too expensive! Hah! Go Kayla Go! They otta give her a cut! I’m just on console!
To be fair, in one of my uni classes, the auditorium was so old some ivy branches *did* break through 😂 I got emotionally invested in a little guy I saw grow throughout the years... then they cut it all down 😞
Ivy is incredibly destructive to buildings (as is evidenced by it breaking through) so unfortunately sometimes cutting it all down is the only option to stop your whole building coming down. Unchecked ivy can cause structural damage as well as aesthetic/surface damage. You especially don't want that happening if the building is old and potentially historic architecture 🤷🏻♀️
I love how the source of all her stress is the fact that the build is too small so there's no space for anything without trying to use the circular rooms but not once did Kayla think about make it bigger or getting rid of the towers 😂😂😂😂
Yessss I was just thinking that she’s so comfy with small builds which is great but big castles need extra space. I’m the opposite I’m so quick to add more tiles to my builds haha
I feel like this is like a contemporary castle renovation lmao. Like a rich person who really loves castles and wanted to honor the castle vibes but still make it like a nice homey livable house. And who is also a fairy
Okay, they might not tell Simsie about new packs, but she’s so good at manifesting these things in videos like this, so watch us get fairies later this year 🧚💚
Tips for the vines: Mix and match the different colours together so that it looks purposeful that there's a bunch of different shades of green, this is kinda required if you wanna use multiple packs cause gods forbid EA reuses a colour. Also, don't be afraid to size them down a bunch and layer them on top of each other. Basically do what Kayla was doing but a bit more and it'll fix the "it's all the same thing a dozen times" issue she mentioned.
I say we do another community vote and get the Sims team to give us spiral staircases for the round walls. I'm surprised they didn't think of that for the castle kit, because most fantasy castles have spiral staircases.
The saddest thing sims4 did to the supernatural pack was split up all the super naturals into their own individual pack 🥺 I loved being a fairy in sims 3 . 😅 manifesting Fairies! Sometime soon.. I hope. Still great themed build. I prefer the customization part of sims only because I can’t do architecture on sims despite it aligning with my day job 😂 so watching others build really helps. 😅
I'm in my bed rn choosing what video im gonna watch before i go to sleep and I WAS ABOUT TO REWATCH YOUR OTHER VIDEO but then i saw your new video notif and i clicked it so fast bc i remember you said you're going to build a castle!!😭 so excitedd
If you're struggling to find Kayla content, you probably already know, but she has a second channel "moresimsie" and a twitch channel. It's really helpful for when you're waiting for her to upload 🧡
As a fan of techwear fashion i LOVE that EA start exploring the theme of buckles, harnesses, and a bunch of strings, like laces, mesh zippers things like that.... except goth is not exactly my cup of tea. I would love them having more of the oversize streetwear/ techwear options.. or maybe a new similar to the sims 3 into the future vibe
i haven’t ever really played with rounded walls so idk if this would work but has anyone tried using round walls kind of as the outside but then building square rooms within them? kind of like how kayla blocks off rooms to just create an illusion from the outside? again the rounded walls might be too glitchy for that to be possible and it would require making builds slightly bigger on the outside but maybe it would work?
The ivy clipping inside the castle is fine! Think of it like this: most castles nowadays are abandoned. This means that plants like ivy, which are no longer being trimmed, will grow inside. Plus, if you make a fairy castle, they're nature lovers, so they wouldn't mind if outdoor nature lived inside.
A lot of the roof ornaments and decorations specifically for the roof from get together and vampires and cottage of living would look great on most castles because for that small castle on the top that chunky weird fence used it looks too chunky for this type of castle. Get together has a roof ornament that's nice and slender but looks similar to the fence that you used on the roof in the beginning in the catalog the first swatch is black and it would give it a more delicate fairy look
You know the inside is rough because of the shape (tho honestly you pulled it better off than anyone else could tbh), but the outside of so so beautiful!!! It fits the fairy vibes perfectly and makes me want fairies even more!!!!
I hope they figure out how to add in spiral staircases soon. I could picture it being like 4 tiles (2x2) and could function similar to a ladder where you can place it anywhere. It would be cool in round rooms, especially the towers in castle builds!
Don’t worry about being obsessed with the mossy variant! I’m the same way with the mossy stuff in ACNH 😂 I can’t help that moss makes things look ethereal and magical!
the pack has a lot of uses, imo. Sure, the obvious answer is castles and gothic manors. But the build tools also work well for churches, libraries, old government buildings, museums, mausoleums, and dilapidated ruins.
First of all: great castle. Second of all: does anyone else think it would be so fun if she built castles and cottages and houses from fantasy novels like Aelins castle in Throne Of Glass or the town house in A Court Of Mist And Fury?! It would be SO cool to see them come alive in one of her builds tbh.
okay 1 I’m inspired to now make my own version of this! 2 there was no need to worry about the leaf clipping, it’s an over grown planty fairy castle it kinda made sense leaves would get through the bricks to me lol
this build is SO PRETTY!! i also watched you build the big castle on twitch and both ofthese builds are amazing! im so excited about this kit and what youve done with it
Today I made the Queen Elizabeth, 2 corgis and a castle for her to live in. She is proper and has the snob walk. Planning to add a butler too. I have alot of packs but never the newest ones but I always build something inspired by them. I built octagonal rooms because the round room glitches are too annoying. Castles are hard builds.❤
The worst thing about castle builds in the sims is how a lot of them arent functional, no matter how many times I move the stairs and get rid of items my sims never can actually live there.
this pack should have been at LEAST a stuff pack but ideally a game pack. so disappointing because now we have this we won't actually get a fully fleshed out medieval themed pack 😢
I’m in desperate need to see someone recreate ACOTAR courts now! I think spring court really matches the aesthetic (🤮boo tamlin) but also velaris and the house of wind maybe! (Iykyk)
when making round or octagonal towers try to use 2 roof pieces on top of each other. one short and with a "bump out" and one tall and witout the "bump out"
It's also like you can't furnish a castle without castle things. 😅 my main problem with the pack was that it was just a pack. You build a castle...now what? There aren't clothes or even furniture that fit the castle theme.
No fairies? No problem! I'll make a witch/wizard that draws their power from Nature, does potions and wears earthy clothing. They'll live in this castle!
the fact that they didnt test the windows on ROUND walls for a CASTLE pack is insane to me??
Right
They are just hopeless at this point..
Such a missed opportunity!
To be slightly fair, having wide windows on towers was not a thing in the gothic era. Usually, those windows were very small on castles (think Alcázar of Segovia) to both defensive reasons and how hard making wide windows on a curve really is.

It isn't like we're overburdened with round windows in the sims 4.
what do we even expect from the sims team 😵 they don’t test ANYTHING they put out properly
(sorry about the black screen in the middle of the video! i'm fixing it, but it migh take a bit for youtube to update)
It's fixed right now :D
I'm honestly sad. I didn't see it.
I don’t forgive you
The contrast of these comments lmao?? ^^^
As a Brit who's watched your videos for ages I still never get used to all the bathrooms 😂 whenever theres a small weird room I think "oh a fun hobby room!" and you immediately say 2nd/3rd bathroom lol

If i had a nickel for every time kayla accidentally made mickey mouse in a build in the past month id have two nickels. Which isnt a lot but its weird that its happened twice
That were also castles for fantasy creatures lmao
omg i literally made that joke today lmao
Are we talking about the mermaid house ? Lol
Or a Texas shaped shell/ build
Phineas and Ferb 💙💙💙
12:35 i love the sharp black cut after the desperation hauahsush. Like I'm wuite sure is an editing mistake but jt was hilarious
i thought my ipad broke 😭
i thought my youtube crashed 😭
I thought my phone died 😭
It's fixed now :D
I was really sleepy reading your comment and thought you started speaking simlish half way through
When the screen turned black I think it was just Simsie giving up on the build lol 💀
ME TOO BAHAHA
same 😂
I thought I had lost my internet connection or my computer had frozen.
I was convinced my phone was dead until I realized her watermark was still in the corner 😂
FR like: this shape........
closes the game* 💀
it was such a good comedy timing 😭
So upset that she didn't take this opportunity to put fireflies all over the lot, it would look so magical and fairy esche
Great idea! I would have loved lots of plants on the inside. I mean, would a fairy just live in the middle of stone walls without any garden feeling?
Round walls tip: if you run into that problem where you place an object in a round area and then can't grab it again, change the walls view so that the walls are completely down/hidden. It'll work again that way.
The black screen scared me so much- it’s probably just an editing error but it’s so funny how i literally flinched.
lmao I thought my phone died XD
It probably was Kayla admitting there's a fairy pack coming but EA made her delete the clip
/s
It's fixed now
@@relei conspiracy theories
It’s not funny
New reason I want fairies: CAN YOU IMAGE HOW CUTE THE BASINET WOULD BE!?
I LIVE for when they add new Bassinets. It makes me WAYY too excited
Downside: The only changing tables are with Growing Together and NONE of them fit any of the vibes of the various occult bassinets.

They probably will
@saturn_the_fairyas a fairy?
You known what, screw fairy's. Give me a Goblin pack.
Hehehe.... The Sims use Kayla! Even though innocent. Sims get a lot of Ideas off her channel I’m sure!

Go Kayla Go! They otta give her a cut! I’m just on console!
i really hope they do a fairy game pack with a very castle/fantasy themed vibe. i haven’t played with any occult sims but that would get me into it
To be fair, in one of my uni classes, the auditorium was so old some ivy branches *did* break through 😂
I got emotionally invested in a little guy I saw grow throughout the years... then they cut it all down 😞
Gives a whole new layer to the Ivy League...
Great, I'm now sad for a little ivy branch I never even saw 😢😆 RIP Lil' Ivy
Ivy is incredibly destructive to buildings (as is evidenced by it breaking through) so unfortunately sometimes cutting it all down is the only option to stop your whole building coming down. Unchecked ivy can cause structural damage as well as aesthetic/surface damage. You especially don't want that happening if the building is old and potentially historic architecture 🤷🏻♀️
I feel like one of those round rooms would make a great cauldron room
simsie did do that once with a witchy build! i think it was her most recent rebuild of the magic school in the witchcraft pack?
The split second where this was going to be a 1 bedroom 3 bathroom house was the funniest moment of my day.
12:34 Lilsimsie: Shape is bad
Screen: goes black
I love how the source of all her stress is the fact that the build is too small so there's no space for anything without trying to use the circular rooms but not once did Kayla think about make it bigger or getting rid of the towers 😂😂😂😂
Yessss I was just thinking that she’s so comfy with small builds which is great but big castles need extra space. I’m the opposite I’m so quick to add more tiles to my builds haha
The small windows on the round walls are sooo cute and actually historically accurate for European castles!
At 12:36 the screen turns black! Skip to 13:23 to avoid it :)
Thank you, friend! 💚
Thank you
Saw this too late 😂
That didn’t happen to me.. what does that mean
BS, didn't turn black
12:00 I think basement kitchen would have banged to free up space to have a formal castle entry way
The wall behind the bed, use a half wall and then fill the room with flowers ❤
I feel like this is like a contemporary castle renovation lmao. Like a rich person who really loves castles and wanted to honor the castle vibes but still make it like a nice homey livable house. And who is also a fairy
Okay, they might not tell Simsie about new packs, but she’s so good at manifesting these things in videos like this, so watch us get fairies later this year 🧚💚
There are castles with stairs on the outside, if that helps for later tower builds.
That sounds terrifying!
@@gr33ngirlsea Medieval people were not well-known for safety🤣
it's perfect 😍 although I think the only things is missing is the Wishing Well
For the floors, I think the stone with lots of random mismatched rugs everywhere would look great!
Okay, but the landscape?? I’m speechless, you did it so well!!

Basically do what Kayla was doing but a bit more and it'll fix the "it's all the same thing a dozen times" issue she mentioned.
every time kayla uses circular walls the building turns to mickey mouse
she can't help it, girl's from Florida
I say we do another community vote and get the Sims team to give us spiral staircases for the round walls.
I'm surprised they didn't think of that for the castle kit, because most fantasy castles have spiral staircases.
this is cute ! i was hoping you’d put a fairy circle of mushrooms in the exterior that would’ve been so cool but your landscaping was soo cute !
I wish the curved walls worked better but i think you did such a good job placing and decorating 😍
THISSSSS. This kit should have been included in a larger pack!!!! Like another fantasy themed pack.
i love her whimsical fairytale type builds they always come out so stunning.
The saddest thing sims4 did to the supernatural pack was split up all the super naturals into their own individual pack 🥺 I loved being a fairy in sims 3 . 😅 manifesting Fairies! Sometime soon.. I hope.
Still great themed build. I prefer the customization part of sims only because I can’t do architecture on sims despite it aligning with my day job 😂 so watching others build really helps. 😅
Kayla: I cannot stress this enough, fairies are NOT coming.
The rest of us: Sure they aren’t. 😏
i know we have done vlads so many times but he really deserves that gothic castle im so excited about this kit
guys calm down she just gave us time to reflect at 12:35 on the shape of the building
We definitely need a redo of Vlad’s house as a castle with this kit! Live your dark dreary bathroom dreams, Lilsimsie!!
black screen at 12:36 simsie! 💗
oh i thought it was just me😭
Kayla! Put the walls down when you're working on round rooms. It helps a lot.
So beautiful! I'm Welsh and it reminds me so much of Castell Coch
I actually really like the round rooms and nooks. 🧚♀️
I’m so so so excited!! Now we just need fairies!!
I'm in my bed rn choosing what video im gonna watch before i go to sleep and I WAS ABOUT TO REWATCH YOUR OTHER VIDEO but then i saw your new video notif and i clicked it so fast bc i remember you said you're going to build a castle!!😭 so excitedd
You went to bed as I got off work 😂 helllooooo from the other side of the planet
If you're struggling to find Kayla content, you probably already know, but she has a second channel "moresimsie" and a twitch channel. It's really helpful for when you're waiting for her to upload 🧡
FYI you can also DELETE trims with SHIFT and it deletes on just one wall
I feel like a realm of magic wizardry castle could be easier to decorate and could be really fun
As a fan of techwear fashion i LOVE that EA start exploring the theme of buckles, harnesses, and a bunch of strings, like laces, mesh zippers things like that.... except goth is not exactly my cup of tea. I would love them having more of the oversize streetwear/ techwear options.. or maybe a new similar to the sims 3 into the future vibe
i’m absolutely obsessed with the exterior kayla!!!
This build was so chaotic and for some reason really funny. I watch you everyday, but idk this video is so funny to me
i haven’t ever really played with rounded walls so idk if this would work but has anyone tried using round walls kind of as the outside but then building square rooms within them? kind of like how kayla blocks off rooms to just create an illusion from the outside? again the rounded walls might be too glitchy for that to be possible and it would require making builds slightly bigger on the outside but maybe it would work?
For castles you want the kitchens in the basement
The ivy clipping inside the castle is fine! Think of it like this: most castles nowadays are abandoned. This means that plants like ivy, which are no longer being trimmed, will grow inside. Plus, if you make a fairy castle, they're nature lovers, so they wouldn't mind if outdoor nature lived inside.
Ive been imagining you rebuilding the goth house with this kit and vampires. Not exclusively those kits but i think itll be a good build.
simsie building a fairy castle when pomu is graduating breaks my heart it's so pretty 😭
A lot of the roof ornaments and decorations specifically for the roof from get together and vampires and cottage of living would look great on most castles because for that small castle on the top that chunky weird fence used it looks too chunky for this type of castle. Get together has a roof ornament that's nice and slender but looks similar to the fence that you used on the roof in the beginning in the catalog the first swatch is black and it would give it a more delicate fairy look
Kayla, this build is so beautiful!! You're far too critical of your builds, especially when working with a challenge like rounded walls!
Such a pretty build. I love the giant flowers and the stone, moss and pointy towers. But I do wonder where the sims will throw away their trash, lol.
You know the inside is rough because of the shape (tho honestly you pulled it better off than anyone else could tbh), but the outside of so so beautiful!!! It fits the fairy vibes perfectly and makes me want fairies even more!!!!
This is so the the folk of the air vibe and i love it
You need to use these swatches for mosses green gen home, it would work so well
Hide the walls when using round walls! Makes placing and picking up things much easier!! ❤️ Still not perfect but definitely better
Cackling bc I squealed with excitement so loud when you started adding the moss that my boyfriend panicked and thought my computer chair was tipping 💀
I kinda wish you had put a lil pond in the exterior, it would have fit the theme sooo well
I hope they figure out how to add in spiral staircases soon. I could picture it being like 4 tiles (2x2) and could function similar to a ladder where you can place it anywhere. It would be cool in round rooms, especially the towers in castle builds!
i usually make small round rooms half bathrooms because you can alt place the toilet and sink and decor and it doesn't usually look too weird🫶🏻
i loved the bed in the rounded space 😭 so whimsical!
been waiting for this kind of build 😍
as soon as i saw this swatch i knew 😂
I really love the new hair Simsie the more I see it, the more I like it on you!
Don’t worry about being obsessed with the mossy variant! I’m the same way with the mossy stuff in ACNH 😂 I can’t help that moss makes things look ethereal and magical!
the pack has a lot of uses, imo. Sure, the obvious answer is castles and gothic manors. But the build tools also work well for churches, libraries, old government buildings, museums, mausoleums, and dilapidated ruins.
It’s giving Spring Court! If only the vines and greenery were roses.
First of all: great castle. Second of all: does anyone else think it would be so fun if she built castles and cottages and houses from fantasy novels like Aelins castle in Throne Of Glass or the town house in A Court Of Mist And Fury?! It would be SO cool to see them come alive in one of her builds tbh.
If there’s somthing lilsimsie is good at is building exteriors and landscaping, it looks so good!
“Does this scream old to you…?” I loved watching this build and listening to your commentary, as usual
i love the piano in this build ^-^
this is so cute!!!! please EA I need a fairy pack so I can have overgrown cottages full of mushrooms and strawberries😭😭😭😭
THANK YOUUU for the frieze help omg 🙏
yeees they kept reappearing inside my townhouses and i got so desperate i changed the flooplan and everything, and then just deleted it on one of them
okay 1 I’m inspired to now make my own version of this! 2 there was no need to worry about the leaf clipping, it’s an over grown planty fairy castle it kinda made sense leaves would get through the bricks to me lol
I love seeing your castle builds! I might use this next time I need a magical home ♥️
this build is SO PRETTY!! i also watched you build the big castle on twitch and both ofthese builds are amazing! im so excited about this kit and what youve done with it
I love this type of build so much. I’ll be using this kit all the time!
i laughed so so hard at how the screen went black after kayla was desperately trying to make the floor plan work 😹 ur so funny bestie
You have to put the walls down to reach items in a closed rounded floor
Thanks for the tip !
Awesome! I think the stuco wallpaper would fit the castle wallpaper very well.
Today I made the Queen Elizabeth, 2 corgis and a castle for her to live in. She is proper and has the snob walk. Planning to add a butler too. I have alot of packs but never the newest ones but I always build something inspired by them. I built octagonal rooms because the round room glitches are too annoying. Castles are hard builds.❤
these vids are honestly one of the only things that make me happy atp
You’re so hard on yourself! It looks amazing, from a resident fairy. 10/10 Would totes joyfully frolic here.
Magical realm and this pack together would make wonderful content.
Such a cute castle! The round walls are sooo rough... But the fairy esc castle is cute!
The worst thing about castle builds in the sims is how a lot of them arent functional, no matter how many times I move the stairs and get rid of items my sims never can actually live there.
this pack should have been at LEAST a stuff pack but ideally a game pack. so disappointing because now we have this we won't actually get a fully fleshed out medieval themed pack 😢
I’m in desperate need to see someone recreate ACOTAR courts now! I think spring court really matches the aesthetic (🤮boo tamlin) but also velaris and the house of wind maybe! (Iykyk)
when making round or octagonal towers try to use 2 roof pieces on top of each other. one short and with a "bump out" and one tall and witout the "bump out"
I feel like some kind of a sunroom would be a great addition to the fairy castle!
Ahhhhhhh! While messing around with the goth galore kit I realized my vampire sim has no reflection HAHAHAHA! Nice touch!
It's also like you can't furnish a castle without castle things. 😅 my main problem with the pack was that it was just a pack. You build a castle...now what? There aren't clothes or even furniture that fit the castle theme.
Romantic garden stuff pack has swatches that have that overgrown look too. They would of paired good together
So pretty! Can you build a house using just kits?
No fairies? No problem! I'll make a witch/wizard that draws their power from Nature, does potions and wears earthy clothing. They'll live in this castle!
Set the bed in the middle of the room facing away from the door. It's not uncommon in weird old castles and makes the bed a center point
