I always turn my christmas houses into vacation rentals so my sims can vacation to them for Christmas without having to redecorate my main house. I pretend it's like visiting grandma lol
I was literally just thinking this like this is so smart
What a wonderful idea!
that's genius i need to do that too. make a little vacation home for each big event with everything you need and then you can be like my sims are staying in a lil cabin/cottage for christmas
That’s a a great idea!!
Me too!!
Kayla: Would it be ridiculous to put a mini Christmas tree in the dining room? I think people do that?
Me: **turns to look at the mini tree in my dining room**
😂😂😂😂😂
Right?! I have my living room tree (full size) & dining room tree, front entrance tree and bedroom tree (all 7ft pencil trees). Next year I’ll be setting one up in my office and rec room as well 😍
I got one for my kiddos on our mantel for my babies 🤣
Me looking at my mini Christmas tree centerpiece
I actually work with someone who goes all out like this for the holidays, said she’s the host of all her friend and family parties. So she decorates EVERYTHING from bathrooms to living room and everything in between.
As for nutcrackers that my contribution to the Christmas decor. I have a ton of various sizes and styles. Who care what they block they look cute.
My mom used to have a tree with a theme in every room. Kayla is giving momma rew vibes in this build 😂
Pop off mama rew
Crazy how Christmas is in 2 days lol
Well if you are a catholic Christan but I am orthodox Christians and We celebrate on the 7th of January
Just one day for us in Scandinavia! We celebrate on the 24th 😀
no no its not what do you mean its september 😀😀😀
@@think_bubblyhi fellow scandnavian
im so excited but it just doesnt feel like christmas :(
I think decorating a bathroom is pretty common. I don’t do a lot, (or at least I don’t think it’s a lot lol) but I put festive hand towels and a festive soap dispenser (with festive soap inside) and gel window clings on the mirror. A festive scented candle as well lol. Happy Holidays everyone!!
I think I never even thought about the invention of festive soap HAHAHA But I love it!
My candles are in the cutest ceramic gingerbread houses and when you light them the windows glow 🥹 I have a whole village in the bathroom 😂
This would be a super cute house for Sims to take a Christmas vacation in :)
I know Kayla didn’t do this, but building the house from Christmas Vacation would be awesome.
I’m thinking it could be cool to put this in mount komorebi and use it as a vacation house for the holidays!
I add an Advent Celebration holiday to my Sims' calendar one week before Winterfest, with the main goal being decorating for Winterfest. That way, their houses get decorated ahead of time, and I get to enjoy them! They also get those useful Satisfaction Reward Points. They can listen to holiday music while they decorate the tree, and then spend half the day deciding on which lights to use on their eaves and fences. Plus, a day off of work and school is always a good thing. Cheers and Happy New Year!
P.S. I have an attic big enough for all of that decor. You can stand up in it, and walk the whole length of the long, single story house. There's a drop down ladder leading up there, and I have 26 bins of Christmas decor, plus ALL of my son's childhood toys, MY childhood toys, and a bunch of empty moving boxes. One day, there shall be stories told about "Grandma's Attic", if I'm ever lucky enough to become a grandma. 😆
Happy Christmas to you and Stanley!
And Dan and Snap and Sunny and Shrimp!!
The “dead” shrub is what ALL my real landscape plants look like in the winter months…dormant and beautiful in their own rights. That plant feels more realistic than the plants with leaves such as the ferns that would definitely be a mushy mess in winter. Only evergreen shrubs keep their leaves in the cold…ferns are NOT evergreens 🌲 Merry Christmas Kayla and Dan…enjoy your warm rainy weather❤️
My mom has special bathroom decor for every holiday. Just the downstairs bathroom though because it's the one guests see. Also the aprons from base game have cutest Christmas swatches.
I always get scared that my books are going to be set on fire... too much fire trauma in the sims 😅 so brave
Meanwhile she putting a Christmas tree literally in front of the lighted up chimney
I'm going to a friend's house today who goes all out for Christmas. She has an entire room where she stores the big bins full of decorations in the off-season. She has mostly vintage (as in the Mid-Century Modern time period) decorations. She's been posting teasers of what it looks like and I can't wait to see it in person. (I suspect it will make all the Sims houses that are decorated for Christmas look plain, at least based on the photos she's already shown us.)
Oh so that is what I saw yesterday on the gallery. Merry Christmas Kayla!
I’m totally going to use this as a vacation rental for my sims for winterfest!!
I have to appreciate Kayla's decisions to just do things however she wants
My parents go all out for Christmas, so actually yes. Our bathroom is decorated for Christmas XD Hand towels changed out with red "happy Holidays" towels, red rugs on the floor, and a tiny Christmas tree on the back of the toilet LMAO
simsie ur almost at 2 mil!!
There could be a Jingle Bell to live in the Christmas themed house
Would I have my sims live in a house like this? Probably not, but taking my sims on a vacation for Winterfest could be super cute
I love the idea of having some Christmas houses for vacations like others have suggested. If you’re in the mood to do more Christmas builds what about doing ones designed to match some of the other common vacation destinations? Like a Christmas lodge for Granite Falls. A Christmas ranch, one in the style for Mt. Komorabi etc.
It looks really good! It could be a vacation home for families to go on vacation and just spend Winterfest on it. 💙💙
I love how all my favorite youtubers are all posting Christmas videos- really gets me into the Christmas spirit!
I can't wait for Christmas lol ❤
Absolutely loveee ur festive builds :)
Omg best Christmas Eve eve video! ❤
If it makes you feel better, it's going to be rainy in Michigan this year too. While we work out daylight saving time, maybe we can set the calendar back a month. As a kid, we almost always had snow by Thanksgiving.
I don't know if it's the case in every cold country, but where I live, all houses have a entry, preferably with doors, so the cold air doesn't come in to the rest of the house, and so the wet shoes and clothes are in one limited area 😅😊 I know it's just a game and doesn't matter, but I just thought I would tell you, since you live in Florida 😊 But this is a very cozy house 🏡 😊
the train set around the christmas tree helloooo??? that’s so adorable???
The sims queen has posted!!!!💚💚💚
I was thinking to myself that it felt a little too early for exclusively Christmas content and then I realized Christmas is in TWO DAYS??
The way your sims roasted you on your decorations was priceless! 😂😂😂
It would be fun to de-Christmas this house once the holidays pass lol
Omg I love you simsie I look forward to your video every single day🥳🥳
i would use this house if i tried to romance daddy winter and live with him in this house even when its not winterfest. idk if thats even possible but if it is then i would do it 1000%
I started watching your videos this year and I fell in love with the content. I had the base game for the longest time and just because in your previous video you showed us a glimpse of seasons I've finally purchased more sims content in the sale that's currently going on.
Not only that you also keep us up to date on any free stuff EA gives out and it's been awesome.
lol yes, I do decorate my bathroom! I have a Christmas shower curtain, towels, and bath mat. I would love to do it for all the big holidays. It makes every poop and shower feel fun!
Next year you could do a "equatorial/south equatorial" christmas. We spend it in the beach, or in a swimmingpool since its hot LOL.
Would be cool XD
i just got eco life style snowy escape at the same time. i thought the fire toilet was a product of the eco life style upgrade but so far i have had three fires from my snowy escape toilet with no upgrades… is anyone able to explain? 😅
something that could be fun is an interfaith household? like a menorah on the table but a christmas tree in the corner?
I swear I was just saying the other week I'm waiting for Christmas which was December 1st and it's literally almost here 😮
Hi it won’t let me play the sims 4 it keeps saying the sims 4 is already launched does anyone know how to fix it or get on origin idk ☹️😢
Currently watching this on Christmas Eve in Minnesota, not a bit of snow on the ground it is currently downpouring rain 😅
My mom makes her guest bathroom snowman themed in winter there’s a snowman soap a snowman towel and a little snowman statue
I got a idea for a video, making a really summer like then try to dacorate it the best you can but you cant edit the summer build only add to it 🎄Merry Cristmas🎄
oh wow same christmas cottage as the year before and the year before and year before and before before before before before before
Don't feel bad, it's gonna be 60 in Chicago today and 55 Christmas Day.
My six year old sees Vlad at the door. "Oh, look! A caroler came to the house!" 🤣
can you do a mojo dojo casa house build please 😭😭💕💕💕💕
Merry Christmas Kayla!! Hope the season is amazing ❤❤
adorbs! merry christmas Kayla :D
First
Nobody cares 😮😮
Re: your question about decorating the bathroom for holidays, I did buy a back of Halloween decals with a bunch of shiny gold skulls and bats and I put the leftovers after decorating the other windows in the house all over the bathroom mirror and it was way cute.
Cool!
wait isn’t there a christmas mailbox or am i crazy 😭
I use all your holiday houses as my sims Christmss Vacation house. I love playing in them❤
Happy Christmas to anyone who celebrates!!
Christmas eve tomorrow!!
Xmas is for life. U should make Xmas bids all yr round lol 😂
Merry Crisis everyone 👍
Vids not bids but that would be funny too 😂
What's the deal with this Festive mood?
This build is so cozy and cute!
That whole house is a FIRE HAZZARD! 🔥🎄🔥
oh i loove this! i think over the top xmas builds are so much fun!
Hiiii
Lovely house as always! And yes, my family decorates the bathroom! We mainly decorate th main bath (we have 2) with Christmas towels, soap, rugs, and decals on the wall. We also have many cute Christmas trees to put on top of our cabinets!
merry christmas eve! 💕💕💕
eve eve**
I’m so early!!!!!
Merry Christmas everyone
as a simmer who plays with lots of holidays (i like making multicultural households with lots of holidays) it can get to be a lot. i use that lamp, the table, and the seasons mailbox like every build. add giving them outfits and throwing a spooky party on halloween, and you just end up going into cas and build mode basically every two days to add stuff and change swatches. worth it tho tbh. number one tip is turn off the gnomes for harvestfest/thanksgiving… they’re MADDENING!
My grandma decorates her house with snowman’s. Every room from end of thanksgiving has snowmen in it. Living room is typical snowman ⛄️ with red accents, bathrooms are blue snowman’s and kitchen is red a green snow men. And she leaves garland up year round in her living room , an her room is just all of em Lolol 😂
I love it, an it’s so sweet to see. (It also makes giving gifts kinda easy cause anything snowman is approved) 😂🥰😂
A cute little house. I will use it. I downloaded a Christmas house and a Mr and Mrs. Claus to play with for Christmas. That's about as Christmas decor as I get. I don't really decorate in real life. I love Christmas but when you don't have anyone to celebrate with, kind of pointless. Merry Christmas Kayla.
Uh...We have several mini trees in this house, LOL. I think my grandpa used to use them in a winter scene on his sideboard, iirc. Anyway, mom had a bunch of tiny ornaments, so now they have a new life all decorated! I also mended an old 2ft tree my mom had and have it up next to my desk to hold all my handmade ornaments from an ornament exhange I've been doing with friends since our early 20's.
Her asking if its normal to her a second tree... me casually looking around at my 3 large trees and mini tree, 2 of which are in the dining room 👀... *cough*
And it when she mentions people dont realistically decorate their bathrooms.. as I am thinking of all the decorations in my bathroom.... ie christmas rugs, towels, handsoap bottle, gingerbread house village made of candles, shower curtain, etc 😅😅
BASEMENTS. That's what you all in Florida don't understand. That's where all the Christmas crap goes on 12/26.
Genuine question do people actually decorate foundations? I'm also building lots of xmas builds aka hallmark movie-esk living vicariously through my sims as we have not decorated this year, none of us are up to it.
Me😅😅😅 looking at the garland I've hung in my bathroom. But it's only my guest bathroom and I always have a huge Christmas party so that's my excuse 😅😅😅
Is garland over the pictures OK? Yes. My mum puts red and green Tinsle over pictures... you can't see the pictures but the house is a Christmas wonderland so, it's OK lol
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE
I added a holiday at the start of fall and winter that's only for decorating, festive mood, and baking for winter. Otherwise I forget about holidays and don't care the day of
That’s a good idea!
Those little snowflake wall decals will look great on the fence--in light blue, and then you can put pool lights--in light blue shade, along the hedge line just on the outside of the hedge to highlight the snowflake decals. As for the pond, I would have put a couple of the lighted trees and the wooden deer decoration, as well as an upside toy sled, to make it look like Santa has been there. As for the rest of the year, that is why people in the South leave their lights up all year long. As for space, that is what yard sales are for, but then again if you have an attic or basement you can use that.
Im so sorry gurl but I HAVE to ask. How much is the Sims4 size? Idk if you have all DLC's but anyways, have it or not, tell me pls
I decorate my bathroom and kitchen for Christmas. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and have seven trees. So every room, even the laundry room, gets decorated. 🤷🏻♂️
My mom puts Christmas garland on our shower curtain (outside the shower obviously) because she takes decorating for Christmas very seriously
I can verify that people do decorate bathrooms for Christmas. My parents always switched the soap dispenser to something season, and had this weird toilet lid cover that had Santa on it. I much prefer the way you decorated the bathroom for Christmas though.
Florida is gonna be hot and rainy on Christmas, the PNW is going to be COLD and rainy. No white Christmases in Seattle, Grays Anatomy was wrong!
If it makes you feel better, it is going to be close to 50 and raining here in Illinois, too. No white Christmas here either. (Fine with me, but not with some. LOL)
where is the storage...my in-laws have a 3 car garage and only park one car in it, the rest is storage for holidays. Their house is more cluttered than you just did...
For me, snow is only showing on roofs that are transparent/glass. It's really annoying, since it's both the last place you'd want it and the last type of roof it would be on in real life. It ruined my desire to build in the snow.
I fell asleep while watching this video and had a dream that Simsie also made a sim who would live here and the sim was a girlfriend of the Grinch, which is something i REALLY wish to see now :D :D
Plsssssss this is so cute, its making me so excited for Christmas tomorrow (Greetings from Germany lol), the Christmas at the grandparents vibes are strong but i love it, its so comforting
i have no decor sense whatsoever and am always blown away by kaylas builds (even silly ones like this) but. two fireplaces in one room?!?!
i think it would be cool to do a built using stuff you don’t think you ever have!
like: “building a house with items i never use” or something similar :)
On my dads side of the family there’s fancy schmancy, rich stuck up people that do in fact decorate their bathrooms with Xmas decorations 🤣😬
my bathroom is currently decorated for Christmas and I might put stuff up for other holidays but I haven't decided yet
You could play in it with your Legacy Family, a Holiday vacation and then Go back home after christmas
Kayla: I feel like I really need to step up the decoration game cause it's kinda boring
*The entire house drowning in garland*
So serious when I say I decorate every room in my house. Every bathroom, the kitchen, the laundry room, all of it 😂
I figured out how to get around the roof glitch with snow! If you extend the eaves so that the top roof covers the bottom ones, it doesn't show the seams you can't do a roof that flattens out at the top but you can make hidden top floors without the snow being dumb
I live in central Minnesota and for the first time in my 34 years it will be brown and raining! I'm longing for a white Christmas too!
Should have put a red robe on the bathroom door as it could be Santa's cottage. And decorating every room won't be weird at all not to the Claus's they'd love it.
i decorate my bathroom for Halloween, Christmas, Spring, and Summer (:
