Hi Kayla, i've been watching you for years now (since you were in high school, I'm going into my first year of uni soon) and this really helped me out. My childhood cat is set to pass away tomorrow, and I've been watching a ton of your videos to help calm myself down. Seeing you post cat-related content really warmed my heart, and I hope you understand how much your bright personality has helped me in these rough times.
I'm so sorry to hear that :( my childhood dog passed away last week, I really understand what you're going through. Take care of yourself ❤
Take care sweetie ❤️🩹stay strong
I am so sorry 💔💔
I'm so sorry that your kitty will be passing over the rainbow bridge. I was heartbroken when our family kitty had to be put down. I was 17, and she was 19, so she'd had a good run. I hope you have a lovely last day with your own kitty and give her as many hugs and kisses as she wants.
we had to let go of our dog back in March and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. so sorry for your loss
In my country there's two types of cat cafés; the one with adoptable cats and non-adoptable cats. The ones with non-adoptable cats usually have their cats in "shifts". They're in the cafe for a couple hours and then they clock out and stay in the calm cat room that isn't for the public. Some cafés have their cats caged for the night after closing up and have their cats out in the cat room an hour before opening time so the cats can have their meals and stretch before their shifts begin. Cute café btw!
I live in the US, driving distance from lilsimsie. it's the same thing here. i don't know any that do shifts per se, but I do know that some allow them to go between the cat rooms and the cafe space as they please
funny enough i work at a catcafé in Barcelona, here we do not have separate spaces for the cats and the café space, but the kitchen part is a different room though where cats can't enter. Also we do not let to many people in at once as we don't want the cats to get stressed if there is too many people and obviously there are rules that must be followed. And I am so happy to tell that almost 280 cats have found their forever home through us!
I think they could actually 100% get away with doing a garage and garage clutter kit IF they framed it as a "Garage Sale" kit instead! They could give up more items and clutter to use for garage's, a garage sale table that functions similar to the other sales tables in game but maybe look real home made, and then perhaps clutter items that worked like dumpsters where you could maybe get furniture and other items clutter and decor that you could either sell on the table or use the decorate your home.
That would make it more of a functionality and decor kit, than specifically a CAR and garage kit, and I think it would be better received that way while still being able to give us the kinds of things you want
genius!!
you cooked w this omg
and can you imagine the story potential for something like this!!! you could have an evil stepparent put your old Blarffy out for sale, or you could get better returns on furniture you've used, or you could buy a used computer from someone else's garage sale when you're just starting out and don't have any money. i REALLY love this idea!!
This is such a good idea
I can’t believe it’s been a year! I remember being so exciting during the sewer saga, and I’m so glad it all worked out so happily! Happy one year to the kittens!
omg happy birthday kittens
Your not first
Edit: bro removed the first part to look innocent 💀💀💀

@@CJbuiildsI’m so sorry, but this was annoying me, *You’re (You are).
@@staarss.I’m sorry, this was annoying me, but *You’re (You are).
I actually think cars could work just as a semi-functional decorative item. Like, you don't drive the cars around. They're stationary. But if you place one down and the sim can access it, clicking on it gives you the same travel options as clicking far out on the street or using the phone. Maybe they add a woohoo in car option (scandalous). I think that would be a happy medium of giving us cars while not messing with the overall car-lessness of the game currently, and it would fit right in with a little garage pack with the doors and clutter items Kayla describes. Garages are often used as storage spaces and workshops, so a handiness focused main gameplay option or a way to access the household inventory without entering build mode would go with it really well.
The sims team is really in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to cars 😭 it would be SO COOL to get a car-themed stuff pack where they brought back the fixer upper car from Sims 2 free time and maybe added real garage doors, but they KNOW if they do something like that, they'll get so much heat for not adding actual cars! And it's a shame because Kayla is right, ALL the worlds in this game are designed around not having cars. They'd have to change too much to make cars realistic, or confine them to one world which people would also hate. It's like the difference between adding infants versus completely changing or deleting newborns. They were able to add a life state without impacting old saves without that life state, but if they'd deleted the newborn objects, SO many old saves would break. If they made major changes to ALL the in-game maps, so many old saves would break I can't imagine how they'd work around that. I just wish there was a way they could temper community expectations to give us SOME elements of cars that players want that could be more feasible, without upsetting the players who want more
I agree! so many changes would have to be made, but if they could add in a mechanic skill or something in a stuff pack that would be cool! Also we need a new game pack soon!
If we do get cars it will probably be in the sims 5. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t add any car stuff to the sims 4 but they’re probably working on it with project rene
I know, there's definitely worlds where I wish I could have a car since Sims have to walk a ridiculous amount of time to get anywhere (especially the Get Famous mansion area, that's ridiculous). But yeah so much stuff is designed to *not* work with cars I don't know how they'd do it. Which is kind of bizarre to me, they didn't think about the fact people would want that sometime in the past 10 years? I wish we could at least get some other options for transportation like skateboards, tricycles/those little cars you control with your feet, roller skates, eBikes or motor scooters for old people
I love how snap left as soon as you started talking about kittens😂 happy adoption day!
I've been to one cat cafe in Poland and one in France and both had cats where you ate, but also spaces for the cats to go away from people and be alone.. And there was just cats everywhere, so much fur, like being home ❤
I think the experience it depends on where you are. I have also been in a cat café and its was very smelly the cats we're mostly very shy and did not seem happy also some fighting between the cats. Just very gray concrete with some cat trees 😅😢
@@evelina4909 Sounds like they didn't have the cat's best intentions in mind, then.. Both the places I was at didn't smell, their litter boxes were in a separate area, and all the cats were chill and got along.. Not every cat wanted to interact with people, but there were a lot of spaces for them to just hang out and watch people.. Lots of high shelves for them to get away and none of them allowed people to physically lift any of the cats, the cats had to come to you.. I took a lot of inspiration for my own home, when building spaces for my cat, she can chill in my living room at heights where she'll feel safe and observe, but no one can reach or bother her..
I feel like in Poland in three Cat cafes that I was the space between food ordering and Cat space with eating were separated.
@@NightswarmerI'm in the UK and both cat cafes I've been to have been great and put the cats welfare in mind. Both are non-adopt, run by the cats owners and have three floors, one floor being for cats only so they have proper chill space! One café is former rescues and more casual, the other in the city is more pedigrees and themed with cat blankets and cups etc and a fully vegan menu (helps keep the cats uninterested in human food too 😂) Thankfully both also have age limits of no under 7s... I've heard of a cat cafe further north that has a kids time and kids parties which sounds awfully stressful for the cats 😢
@@Frankenzebradid you go to java whiskers?
If you separate the baked goods into individual servings, the value skyrockets and it becomes much more practical to run a bakery! Using the cupcake machine too 😉
you don't look silly for having a lot of cat furniture, you look like a great cat owner! we have more cat trees than cats (and we have four cats...)
This is literally one one my favorite Simsie build ever. The pink swatches in the bistro kit are soooo good😭. Happy Gotcha Day Shrimp and Sunny 💕
i can't believe its already been a year, happy birthday kittens!!
have some cake 👇
🎂
fr fr
so many people want cars, me I wanna be able to make tattoo artist sims, hair dressers, fairies and zombies, the rest im like ohhhhhhhk i guess thats fun too xD
A way to get a garage door without putting in cars: lawn care kit! You can have a weed-wacker, weed puller, lawn mower aaaaaannndd a *riding* lawn mower. So they add a garage door so you can ride your lawn mower into a shed! And voilà! A garage door without cars!
that is so smart!
That would be cute.
Hold up. They have a LAWN CARE kit?
the least realistic part of simsie's build style is that when she builds parking areas, everyone is parked correctly
Happy gotcha day sewer kitties! I've loved watching them grow and they may or may not be the reason my boyfriend has agreed to getting us some kitties! So thanks for changing a self proclaimed cat hater to cat lover kittens❤️
ohhh its gotcha day! for some reason i kept hearing her say 'gacha day' and thought it was a reference to the random collectible nature of the cat distribution system😭
Kayla you should definitely go to a cat cafe it would totally be up your alley!!!
This makes me so happy! My cat just got home from the vets after he stayed overnight. He got a nasty skin tear under his armpit and needed stitches but he's okay now and home ❤ he's one of a set of twins and he was scared without me and his brother going to the vets for that long and surgery, but he's okay now and asleep snoring away on my bed. I hope your cat is okay!
Omg yayy it's a place for Snap to sell her biscuits!!! 🐾🐾
It’s been one year? It feels like last week literally.. happy birthday cats💖💖
im so excited for this build!! i got my cat 2 years ago from a cat cafe!! it was actually in miami and me and my girlfriend got her together on vacation and had to fly her back to massachusetts! we got so extremely lucky with her she’s so sweet, she’s also all black so seeing ur little sewer kittens were so cute:)
my cat's gotcha day was yesterday (7/14) too!! this is so sweet :))
I LOVE this format of videos because the speedbuild is so interesting and i love having a lilsimsie podcast on the back of them lol
OMG it´s been a year already!!!! Happy birth/adoption day, Shrimp and Sunny!!! 💛🥰😺😺
I love the cat decals omg. And the little cat paw prints ommmg
This makes me feel really happy i miss my cat dearly, he lived on a farm and has been missing for two months. It feels like part of my soul is missing. I like seeing cats in the sims and the idea of a cat cafe makes me really happy
Cute cat cafe, Kayla. Happy birthday to Snap.
it’s my birthday and the kittens gotcha day!! 🥰 i love this build and all of your videos so much!
This is a really cool cat cafe! I actually am a board member for a cat shelter in Colorado that has a cat cafe attached to it!! 💜
I got off a closing shift and I go in again tomorrow morning- finding this was exactly what I needed
If they are stray animals in the sims you don’t have to shift click, you can befriend them and then an option will pop up (Simsie mentioned it but didn’t explain so I thought I would take the liberty to)
the little sibling to cancer pipeline was one my cat went down too lol. happy bday shrimp & sunny ☀️ 🍤
happy birthdayyy, im currently on a simsie video marathon!
I was watching todays video and now its just gone i was like 8 or 10 minutes in and it wont show up on youtube anymore. Im very confused
omg me too, i was like 3 minutes in. Maybe it got demonetized or something
Same
Omg i thought something was wrong with my TH-cam! Feels good I’m not alone 😭
same 😭
I got the notification for it. I assume something was wrong with the upload or she just didn't mean to upload it today so she took it down.
This came out *sooo* cute! It would be a great place for dates, especially if pets get included any in the crosspack supports for date activities (imagine you could have one to just play with animals). Definitely tempted to get the bunch of kits I don't have I'd need for this - maybe as a treat to myself if I get the new expansion
always remember Kayla if it makes us happy and we are not hurting anyone then we do not care what other think about things, its none of our business!!! happy kitty day!!
wait now im curious! what do you mean?
ahhhhh, july 14 is my brothers birthday (we celebrated it yesterday because we live in New Zealand) and he turned 3 🥹🌷
Happy birthday kittens! :)
I literally filmed a cat café speedbuild just a few days ago and I'm almost done editing it 😅 The timing is hilarious. I love yours, it's so cute!
*****LILSIMSIE I am a huge fan! This is the first time I have been able to comment, and I have had this idea for years... no joke! So you know the build catalog (the rooms) like the living room, kitchen, bathroom, ect. I thought that you could possibly make a house with the same layout, and similar furniture to the pictures in the catalog! This includes the front of the house, landscaping and all! You can limit this to base game or not, but I would love to see you do this challenge either way! Happy birthday to your amazing cats and keep up the fantastic charity work you have been doing!!! Tell Worm I said hi!*****
Happy Gotcha Day Shrimp & Sunny!!
i can't believe it's been a year since you found the kitties in the drain!!! so glad they found a safe home with you and dan
I do shift click to add pets, but I always make sure that they say stray on them. Where the museum is on the island I usually change that to a animal hang out so that the strays will actually go to that place and then I can go in and adopt them.
I love my local cat cafe! It’s so perfect, the vibes are incredible and the kitties are so cute
I know all the stuff about Snap, but when you said "you're not here for that. You're here for the build." Yes. But we're here for YOU. And your cats are an extension for you. So talking about them, the good and the bad, all of it.
Please do your cats as “human” Sims! Please like this so Kayla can see… 😊
Boston just got their first cat cafe and I can’t wait to go!!
I love when you make cat theme builds 🐈⬛🐈🩷🩷🩷
I love the cafe chairs being upstairs. lol I use The Sims for story worldbuilding a lot to get an idea for spaces in my writing, and I recently was working on a pub/upstairs apartment an MC owns and works in, and since he was low on funds and focusing on his business, he just used one of the spare tables and sets of chairs from his pub that he put in storage in case it gets busy for his dinner table (so his employees could use his place for D&D night) even tho they don't really go with his apartment.
The cat cafe I have been to (in Aus) had 2 seperate rooms, for eating and for cats. It worked really well! You could still see the cats while you were eating but it kept it all easier to clean. This build is super cute! ❤
We have a cat cafe in the city where I live and it's so cute to see the cats in the windows! The cats are all available to adopt and they will only let people adopt a cat if the cat recognises them and allows them to pet it!
Happy Birthday to the kittens!🥳🎉
Happy to see them healthy and happy. 😺😺😺
happy birthday kittens ❤❤❤❤ and Snap will always be our queen
I squealed when I saw the title of this video, happy birthday sweet baby kitties ❤
Great video!! I can recall when I was homeless and faced many things in life until $70,000 biweekly began rolling in and my life went from a homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!
As an Investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing...I've been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I'm not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I began investing in stocks earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well-positioned.
@@reyes-zI would really like to know how this actually works
Not me getting your petivity ad right before this lol. Also happy birthday to the kitties ❤❤❤
Love your style, keep rocking it!
omg the kittens are French revolutionaries, love that for them
At this point I think of the sims as some sort of distopian sci fi world. Like stepford wives, or everyone lives in a bunker to survive nuclear winter, and it just looks like they're outside to keep them from going (more) bonkers.
So cars would ruin the mood
The shelter I work at works with a cat café and it’s awesome! They’re all healthy adult cats.
I love all your builds, but this one shot to the top of my favorites list!!! I might buy the bistro kit specifically so I can download this one as is. 😻
keyla your clothes are so cute help???
I was watching the video where you mentioned the home chef hustle wallpaper a few days ago while building in the sims, and as soon as u mentioned it, I stopped dead in my tracks and I realised I used the exact same swatch in my build. I am also guilty of using the wallpaper a million times in my builds, I try so hard to use others but it’s just the prettiest. Do you, Kayla ! Don’t listen to the haters 😂
You could make the apartment part a cat club hang out space, and use a club door so only the top cats or cat owners can join :D
My daughter is in love with a book series called Home for Meow. It's about a girl whose family owns a cat cafe that they live above and different stories about finding homes for the cats. I'm going to show her this video because I'm sure it's her dream home.
I can't believe it's already been a year since the sewer cats were found😭❤️ time sure flies by
I'd be down for a Garage pack with fake cars you could get from build/buy mode. Though, if they were to do that, it would be cool if it added some gameplay features. Sims 2 throwback, but I think it would be cool if you could do a car fixer-upper that allows a certain amount of customization. Would your Sim ever be able to actually drive the car they made? No, but it would have a garage and a driveway to display it in. It would also have the option that allows you to sell said car.
Then with the pack there would be a feature that would be added to the base game: again, like in the Sims 2 you'd have animations where kids and teens enter a bus when they head off to school and the bus can then drive off and disappear. The adults meanwhile might be picked up by a taxi or a car that represents a carpool.
Also, I've thought this for some time, but you sound like an exceptional cat Guardian. You get 5 more gold stars for that. I consider the upstairs apartment to be Snap's still and the kid's room is begrudgingly for Shrimp since he is a kid in comparison to her and he wants to be her friend so much.
i imagine snap literally running the cafe. like you visit it and can't see anyone behind the bar and then you look closer and there's just a cat sitting there making you coffee. 😅
I went to a cat café on my vacation to NYC a couple of years ago. It was really cute.
Happy birthday kittens! I literally went to a cat cafe yesterday so the timing of this video is kind of perfect haha!
Hey Simsie, I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and here we have a Cat Cafe that is all pink hahaha It's really cute!
Your videos have always been a safe space for me, thank you for bringing me peace during my hardest time/times , i struggle with not doing hobbies and just bed rot for long periods of time but everytime i watch another video it brings me motivation to play again! Thank you for that too 💗
7 mins in and I already love it. I've been to a cat cafe, it was fun. i ended up sitting with the shy cat and just quietly petting her when she let me
10:46 agree. Completely. But like instead of drivable cars for obvious reasons…. Mechanic skill and you can fix cars… then in like a decade (or whenever), we get cars in 5?!?
Maybe removing the Cat Neighbourhood trait would make it work better? I used the Cat Hangout on one of my residental builds for a while to help with my sim's aspiration and I regularly had like 5 strays hanging out at my house. You can also adopt strays by befriending them!
As someone who currently works in a cat cafe, this is so cool to see!
It's wild that it's been a year!! The kittens have grown so much and it's so incredible that they found you!
To get your garage door they could do like a “bike garage” pack where it would create a way to customize the bikes in the game it would also encourage people to use the bikes as well because I feel like they don’t get used that much
And i imagine the build stuff be like fun graffiti stuff and spray cans and obviously garage items they could also give us a functional bike rack with it
its the cats apartment someone just go up there to make sure they are taken of and someone could "stay there" to take care of like sick cats or kittensq
My cats’ 2 year gotcha day in at the end of July (the 27th). We found them as four week old kittens in a junk pile in our backyard. They were probably born in the end of June ❤️ It’s been fun watching them grown into adult cats! I love hearing about yours too
You can in fact live in a community lot! Put down a community lot, then save it to your library but with the lot saved as a residential, then go to manage worlds, place the residential version, and now go to another household, go back to manage worlds, and now it should be marked as a business, with the lot icon and a plumbob above it. It is basegame compatible but it makes it so you can’t access your household funds because of the business fund system.
10:21 I've said it before and I'll say it again... we need a motorcycle pack!! Just imagine: reusing the base mechanics for bicycles, which we already have; super cool motorcycles that can drive on the existing roads; introduce dirtbiking as a sport; the CUTEST Vespas; lil 75 cc bikes for kids; adding "Teach to Ride Motorcycle" to the parenting skill, and teens can take a motorcycle driving test in high school; bad*ss CAS with leather jackets and dope boots and super cool motorcycle gear; BB garage supplies like tool boxes and hand tools and other garage clutter; an update to the handiness skill where working on a motorcycle helps build it; a new death; a world with a track or two to help build the motorcycle skill; dirtbike/motorcycle competitions (similar to Horse Ranch, just with more horse power lol)... you get the point. MOTORCYCLES!!!!
Love the build! Happy Gotcha day to Sunny and Shrimp!
Kayla every time I began like something you post about it
First the desert luxe kit
Second the Penthouse build, I renovated it one day before
Third the Kit Ranking, I literally was thinking if I should buy a new kit
Fourth I Am obsessed with cat 🐈 cafe ☕️ sims4 builds right now
Btw I love ❤ your Videos Kayla
At the cat cafés near me, the cats do just get to chill and wander round where you're eating. They can't go into the kitchen space, obviously, but once you've got your food out in the main café it's all cat friendly space.
Aww, this build is super cute and amazing...
OOOOOH - you should do a dog cafe! Please, please, please??? For the Dog people that follow you.
Yayyy happy birthday (kinda) kitties!!!! Love the cat cafe theme!
lilsimsie video + dinner = cosy perfection🥰🥰
❤ I don’t necessarily care for cars in the sims 4 BUT I do wish we could walk freely like the sims2 (or at least the sims 2 pets) or like animal crossing. Gameplay like that was always more fun and easier for me immerse myself
such a cool concept I've never been to a cat cafe but I did got a bookstore that had a cat and a chinchilla. It was great.
Those chairs have wood frames, not metal. They’re based on real-life Bentwood chairs, a historical 19th century design by Michael Thonet (estimated to have sold 50 million chairs between 1859 and 1930).
I have a save where my sims have a bakery with the retail system, I was basically only playing with that save when home chef hustle came out. I really want that pack for that save, I literally stopped playing waiting to get it
I'm gonna make two female sims who are newly married and starting their dream business and I'll play in that cafe! You really inspired me! Also, happy birthday kitties😍💞💞
The cat cafe I went to in DC has a partner deal with a regular cafe nearby. The cat cafe makes an order from their partner cafe once per visiting time slot, so food prep and cats stay completely separated.
This is so so pretty, I'd absolutely go to it if it was real! One of my cat's has anxiety and hides in my room, but the other is very very social and we have to lock her up so people can do what they need. People have mistaken her for a baby from the wailing she makes, like ma'am pls just let the people work. I think a nurse was contemplating blessing the house, she didn't fully believe it was a cat till we let her out. If she won't get in the way or it's not a person fixing things, we'll let her stay out and she demands attention from the strangers (we have people over so rarely that even our family are strangers to her)
4:19 you are so thoughtful cat mom 🥺🤲🏼
Its so cute
I've just adopted a kitty called Tímon, he's 4 and he's the joy of my life xxx he came from a foster mum who couldn't keep him cuz her cat isn't very friendly, he was set to be put down 😢 he's such a cuddly baby so I'm so happy I could save him ❤🎉
Omg queen snap and I share a birthday. Never felt more blessed!
