Kayla, you gotta understand that the vast, VAST majority of people follows you to WATCH you build fun stuff, the same way we'd watch an artist draw. People rarely care about downloading the exact copy with every single clutter item. Twitch chat wants unlimited packs, TH-cam comments want unlimited packs. Limiting packs feels like watching an artist draw but using only 5 crayola crayons when they have 500 expensive markers that would make the drawing pop.
Seriously I kinda hate that. She feels like she has to do the limited pack builds or people will complain but really when it comes down to it i want to see her build something good, i personally have every single pack except like 10 kits and batuu so id be able to download her builds and its not her fault if people are children that cant buy all the packs or broke?!?!?!?! Sometimes when she talks about limiting the packs because “its not fair because some people only have basegame or basegame and a few packs” i feel like screaming at my screen “AND HOW IS IT YOUR FAULT THAT THEYRE BROKE SIS???”
I completely agree. It’s more fun to watch build videos than it is to actually download and play in them. Having base game/limited pack builds to download is nice and very helpful but there should be a balance that allows for unlimited pack builds as well. Plus who cares if every person can’t download every build. When I watched videos like these as a kid who couldn’t afford all of the packs, I wasn’t thinking about how I couldn’t download it, I was thinking about how fun it was to watch.
If they put Kayla in the sims movie they should have her live in a cheerful blue suburban with a ton of graves in the front yard. Also, the movie never addresses the grave situation
also there's a rocking chair right next to the front door and another thing that can be found on the wrap-around porch is a chess table. and there'd obviously be lots of planter boxes /lh
for when you asked abt how people feel abt limited pack builds, i feel that most of us don’t mind limited pack or limited budget builds, its just when doing both together like a no pack build with a tight budget, it heavily limits creativity, just something i noticed!
Big agree! Some packs just come with expensive things and I'd rather see her use them all in a limited pack build. Not everyone has all the packs but everyone has money cheats!
Personally, as someone who watches all of Simsie's videos but does not own the Sims 4, I prefer unlimited pack builds because I like to see how creative Simsie can be without pack limitations (but I totally get that people who have the games but not certain packs would like to sometimes see a build they can download)
My thing though is you can download anyyyyyy build you don’t need all the packs you can modify it with what you have. so how is it Simsies fault that some people are broke or children lmao . I have every single pack so I would love to see her build with whatever she wants to cause I can download it all and i will stand by she should use WHATEVER to make the build look good and if that means she used 5 game packs 2 stuff packs and 2 expansions or whatever in her build then….. too bad so sad for the people who cant have everything its still downloadable and you can customize it it is not as big of a deal as she is making it
Yeah i have all the packs so idc but i only download buildings to substitute bad EA buildings tbh, so i think making THOSE pack limited is best but otherwise its fun to watch her have a lot on her hands!
@@mariepayannWhy are you so rude about people who don't have all the packs? She's said a ton of times that she does limited pack builds because when she was younger, she felt sad watching builds with lots of cool stuff she couldn't have. It's actually a good thing that she has empathy for other players who don't own everything.
If Matt Patt got a FNAF movie cameo, Kayla you definitely deserve a Sims Movie cameo. The fact that all of us start with a cow plant named Lil Simzee in our games is a testament to that. You do so much good in the world and for this community
About the limited pack thing, I completely understand what it's like to have none of the packs and watching youtube content with stuff that I do not own and it making me sad. But also, it gives people the opportunity to live through you and see how creative this game can be. There's only so much you can do with just the base game, and seeing your creativity is way more fun in my opinion. Don't feel so guilty, it's okay to sometimes have fun and go all out
you said it really well! "living through" content creators is really accurate when it comes to games like this, or stardew or minecraft for me especially. i rarely play despite owning because i find enjoyment in watching people fully show their creativity and THEIR enjoyment
I like Kayla, I wouldn't want to torture her. I've done four at once on long lifespan and it was so incredibly hard. Someone will fail and end up on academic probation, guaranteed.
Yesss imagine him being like a weenie street vendor and everyone knows he has alllll the stuff but it’s lowkey a scam cus he marks the prices up 300% and sells spoiled food
Limited pack builds are good when you're reviewing a specific pack or kit, but in general, i like when you lose lots of packs! It's more fun to watch someone build a place with variety.
I just wanted to say that, as a trans viewer of yours, I really really appreciate you supporting the community (especially in such a tangible way). Even just knowing there are people out there willing to support us means so much in times like these where it often seems like the whole world is against us for being who we are. Amazing build as always
❤❤❤ right? Love that Kayla's community is a safe place for trans folk (I'm gender apathetic and my sister is trans and I have no time for wishy washy or silent allies).
kaylas commitment to social justice and charity is genuinely so inspiring. i literally would not dream of any other sims youtuber being the most popular.
I think you have done a great job balancing the amount of limited pack builds and unlimited pack builds. Sometimes a limited pack build is a fun challenge, but being able to see all the cool stuff in the rest of the packs is better in my opinion! Love you Kayla!!
Oh, if you make the lot next to this one, can you make the student housing absolutely run-down, like it has a really bad/uninterested landlord? Also, thank you very very much for the charity streaming! Your stream on the 30th of march is especially touching! Luckily, i don't live in Florida, or the USA for that matter, but where i live it is slowly getting scary for us too. I hope that it will change for the better both in the US and everywhere else, but it takes people like you to make that change. Thank you for being amazing!
Its crazy how everywhere in the world things seem to be going backwards! Hope she can help her country and more streamers around the world can take this as a example on how to be a good influencer
@@leleite1 Yes you are right, women are losing their rights to women only public spaces now that men who think are women are in them. Not only bathrooms, but sports, changing rooms. It's crazy. Also crazy how gay men are told like women who think they are men, and how lesbians are told by men to like men who think they are women. We've truly gone backwards
A trans charity stream wasnt something i expected but I couldn’t be happier that its taking place!! Things have been rough particularly on state and local levels, and seeing support from anyone can be very encouraging for people in the community. Cant wait 4 the stream!!!
I like the settings when it comes to chaos. I play sims to destress, not to be further stressed😂 but I have friends who love the stress in game so I def think settings is a happy medium, you can turn the chaos on and off as needed/wanted
Every time I see someone complain about a casual game being too easy I always wonder what their goal is when playing. I’m with you, the Sims is my relaxing game. If I wanted to be challenged I’d just play Zelda instead.
As a trans person myself it always makes me feel so so happy and thankful when a TH-camr I watch even acknowledges what's happening with politics surrounding trans rights. Thank you so much for all the work you put in to being such an amazing ally to the community
im a trans teen and all the support you offer to the queer community in general is so so sweet 💕 it feels absolutely amazing having an online community i can be in without worrying about what people will say to me. ive always felt very accepted here!! thank you :)
i liked the chaos, having your sims house get robbed while you were away or sleeping upstairs was always funny, the sims should at least bring that back
every time Kayla talks about how difficult university is in the Sims 4, I chuckle. I start all my sims as teenage runaways (Rags to Riches Style) so I can prepare them to qualify for university scholarships because I send ALL my sims to university, each term with the max classes, and scholarships are pretty much sending your sims to college for free. I always play groups of 3-5 teen sims preparing for university so I tend to have 3-5 sims in university and manage to get them all with A/A+ in both high school and university. I make sure A/A+ in high school to qualify for one of the scholarships, my sims tend to qualify for around 5 scholarships each. I've never struggled with this. but I do struggle with building and trying to record my sims gameplay! each person has their talents lol
It was difficult playing six to eight college Sims before the calendar became base game. I used to hand-write the schedules to ensure everyone made it to class on time, lol. Now the most annoying part is just having to enroll each Sim separately.
Her support for the LGBTQ+ community is great and i love that shes always been vocal about being an ally ❤❤❤❤ warms my little Bi heart. Also Trixie Mattel follows her on twitter if thats not an ally queen idk what is
completely unrelated, but i had this video playing on the tv while i was preparing lunch for my lil cousin, who i was babysitting, and he's not fluent in english, but he just sat right up close to the tv the whole time and midway, he went "i like pink girl, she fun" asgukcwabskblnfs anyways, gonna leave your channel on to entertain him while i do chores ^^
I think the student side having the tv in a "weird" place makes a lot of sense. It reminds me of how my roommates and I had to put our tv in a corner because of the bad outlet placement.
I love your limited pack builds! It’s a fun challenge for you to use items you don’t commonly use, plus more fun for me as someone who doesn’t own a lot of packs. I much prefer limited packs to limited funds. I like the idea of randomly generating a few packs and using them to create something 😊
As much as I appreciate you using limited packs as a person that doesn’t have many, I can always go in and furnish it myself, watching how creative you are with building is so much fun, especially when you don’t have that limit
also i 100% agree with you about chaos settings, that's common in a lot of the mods i use and i think it absolutely makes sense for the base game. i have a theory it's one of the elements they lost in development crunch.
For the randomness of the sims 4 i personally like that its pretty relaxed but i like the idea of a setting where you can change how chaotic the game is! Kinda how a lot of games have difficulty's from easy to hard!
I never download houses from the gallery, I just love watching you build, so I don't care how many packs you use, but limited pack challenges are also fun to watch 😊
I always love you attempting limited pack builds! As someone who cannot build and is broke, I appreciate having fun builds to fill my world where I don’t have to substitute everything 😅
8:51 Thank you, as a trans person in the US it makes me feel seen, cared about Like it means so much to know you are aware, and you care Thank you lilsimsie, for using your platform for good
I do appreciate the mix of limited & unlimited builds. :) Also a toggle for randomness is a great idea! I feel like sometimes I like the more chill game play & other times I want chaos
I will always respect your faithfulness towards making builds downloadable for a wider variety of people. You have often spoken about not being able to download stuff in sims3, and i also think you're aware of the fact that some of those that may benefit from the reduced packs build don't necessarily have the same voice as the all packs enjoyers. You are also committed to your integrity, and i appreciate that too. Love from sweden ❤
I love both unlimited and limited packs builds. As a point of interest I downloaded your blue suburban neighborhood without then having some of the packs because I absolutely love the build! I say do what you're inspired to do
Oooo the professors townhouse is nice! It really fits with that vibe! And the black and pink sides is super cute and such a fun telling of the story. I loved watching this! And I'm interested in the new sims movie so we'll see how it actually turns out! I'm also definitely down to have the sims be a little more crazy but maybe not to an extreme, happy medium like you said!
9:09 aww i’m trans and the stream is happening on my 20th birthday :) little coincidence obviously but it makes me so happy that a youtuber i watch every day is doing that for my community
Kayla, your imagination and creativity is absolutely stunning! My husband and I watch your videos and are always stunned at the storytelling that you create. I am always in awe of you! ❤
Although it is unwarranted my ideas on limited or unlimited packs is that using less packs to me can make the build seem more cohesive since you don’t have to combine as many materials that weren’t “intended” to go together. I still have most of the packs and am bad about using one thing from one kit. In my opinion it’s really to each their own of what kinda build you wanna make.
tbh a 8 college students challenge sounds like so much chaos - i love it! :D I recently had a sims doing University move im with her boyfriend, who also was enrolled and it is so hard to keep track of the homework and everything. The boyfriend even started in my household with being on notice and in the end beeing banned to enroll in Uni again for a week because of his grades!
Build challenge idea: first THEN last swatch You have to use the first swatch of every item, then at the end switch ever time to the last swatch and see how it looks!
You know, just talking about the stairs and the fencing like clipping and looking strange one thing I really want to see one day in Sims is the option to remove a side of the stairs rail so when you build into a wall then it's NOT THERE in the freaking wall!
the trans charity stream is a great idea!! i’m definitely gonna be there :) i wish more youtubers would speak up in support of struggling groups because it’s such a good way to spread awareness
I love Simsie and the community. A great safespace for us folks in the LGBT+ space. Though she doesn't talk much about politics, she understands what is best for humanity. Anyways, great university townhouse! :D looks great!!
@@asaasa7900 What I meant is, she does when it's necessary. Or at least doesn't feel like she does because she does really well to keep the space safe and loving and well-integrated into her streams and videos. :)
I love when simsie challenges herself, I can see she likes to do limited pck/budget builds. But i also love when she lets the creativity flow! Keep doing your thing the way you feel better about!
While i love pack limited builds for some particular type of buildings (like starter houses or high schools), most of the time I love all pack builds AND i actually would love to see you build with CC more often!
personally i prefer unlimited builds, i love seeing what you can do when you’re not trying to avoid using certain things and just using what you want to use
About the 'limited or no limited pack'- topic. (English is not my first language so i hope everything makes sense) I truly appreciate you thinking about people who want to download this, and not playing with cc for console players. It's nice to be able to download builds off the gallery. But from the perspective of a vieuwer on TH-cam, I personally think it's more entertaining & the builds come out better when you don't use any restrictions (only basegame or budget and stuff). I think most of your subscribers will enjoy building themselfs, because why else watch 'building videos' literally every day 😅 So maybee thats why the poll votes come out like that. If i'm speaking for myself, I watch you for entertainment and building inspiration (and sims news). But I think your balance between limitations and no limitations is perfect right now. Something for everyone. Edit: I think your a super sweet girl btw, and with your charm it actually doesnt matter what type of video you upload. I'll watch everything because I really want to support you & the channel. The charity stream thats mentioned in this one for example. Your always so positive and trying to create awareness. Keep up the good work. The mention on 'Womens Day' for TH-cam was totally deserved ❤
The windows covering the front makes total sense when you consider that they are terraced so the sides of the buildings have no windows at all, if the front and back wasn't covered in windows likely some rooms would have no windows at all, and having lived in a couple terraced houses before, that totally happens sometimes lol😂
im a trans guy and have watched your vids since 2016 (which is INSANEEE to think abt lmao) and I just want to say that while It shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is, I really truly appreciate how loudly supportive you have always been for the trans community. you have always made your platforms an inclusive and safe space, it's refreshing 2 see :']
I think limited pack builds are helpful because I have a decent amount of packs but I hate downloading houses and then having to go back and fix everything that came from packs I don’t have. Unlimited pack builds are great. but sometimes like in this case I think limited is better for someone who would want to replace their lot with this one and university and do it with no problems! 👍🏼 Seeing the creativity on houses you make for yourself though is amazing and I’d love to see more but I think there should be some balance.
I think if there was a chaos mode on sims 4 that would be perfect. But for the most part I get so attached to my sims and then get sad when bad things happen to them!! So I think I like having more control as a player! But it would be fun to be more chaotic sometimes.
9:04 as a trans gender boy i feel so grateful and glad that one of my favorite TH-camrs is hosting a charity stream to support us trans people, there’s a lot going on right now for trans people and it’s really scary so thank you so much for what you’re doing, if i could donate i would but i am a minor so i can’t:( but thank you so much EDIT: sorry for any grammar/spelling errors, I’m dyslexic 😭
I'm looking forward to the charity stream! I'm trans myself, and it means a lot that you're bringing awareness to everything that's currently happening in the US. The world is a scary place for us trans folks, but you and your community give me a sense of peace, and I cannot thank you enough for what you're doing.
As a college student in a dorm. Yes we do have the same wood veneer furniture everywhere. And I actually do decorate a lot. I wanted it to make it feel more like mine
I’m imagining the main character passing a man on a lot in a hotdog suit and a floating roof feverishly making candles and a cut to lil simsie on her computer saying “come on Stanley” 😂
8 uni students??? I would crumble! I've never sent a student to live at University before, but I tend to send my Sims while living at home. In my legacy family, it is really common for me to have two go at once, and everyone else in the house is completely neglected...and each generation, I say enough. These two don't NEED to go to university! I'm going to save the stress and skip it...but it's almost a family tradition now and when they are old enough, I always cave and send them, lol. Also, I love watching you build using any and all packs. :)
an 8 sim student challenge is definitely do-able! i found it easy enough by doing homework in the order of the classes, enrolling on a friday so i could get the presentations/term papers/homework ready for the start of term, selecting 3 modules per term instead of the 4, and picking babysitting as a job for all of them since it's only on a weekend. doing their homework as soon as they leave the class keeps you on track, and of course selecting "take notes" for every class keeps their grade up. it's also better if they have different degrees cause all of their schedules are different so one can cook for everyone else if they are all at a class. it felt like a full time job but at least they all ended up with an a+ and were all the top of their classes 😅
Just had an idea for a challenge, don‘t know if you did it before: An unlimited pack build, but you can only use every pack once. So once you used a chair or wallpaper from growing together, you can‘t use anything else from that pack!
@@SammyLammy1Dthat‘s a good question, I think for auto-connect stuff as kitchen counters it should be fine to use the same pack, as long as it‘s connected. A detached kitchen island counter should be a different pack though!
28:45 agree, also, as someone who likes to have control but likes some randomness, it makes no sense to tune everything to the minimum instead of giving us settings
hearing kayle complaining about the bad lighting in the sims 4 right after I watched her building in the darkness of the sims 3 buildmode is just so funny to me I cannot explain xD
i wish the sims 4 was more random, I get so bored and tired of having to do everything myself and plan everything out!!!! But i don't get that feeling with Sims 2, I can kinda let the sims make their own choices and I can tailor the game to them, rather than tailoring it to me. :)
I like to think the students wouldn't go as far as to vandalize their neighbor's home--for one, because they don't want to get arrested, but two: because there's kids living there, and the kids didn't do anything. I like to imagine they'd have some decency, especially if they say hi to the kids every once in a while ahjsdkfk
the fact that you’re doing a fundraiser for a transgender charity genuinely means so much to me. that’s part of the reason why i like your content so much. you’re such a genuine, kind person, kayla. thank you for being a breath of fresh air from all the negativity online 🤍
The unlimited packs/money builds should be your default - it means you can have lots of creativity rather than limiting yourself most of the time. Not everyone watches builds to download them (I bet most people don't!). I like your builds but they're very samey a lot of the time because they're always limited/base game/starters. A challenge is fun to do, but it shouldn't be every other video, maybe just like 25% of builds?
Kayla you, James and syd would be the only reason id watch a sims movie😂😂😂 you three are the only ones i watch when it comes to any build. I think a cameo would be so neat! Even just Stanley would be amazing... Also i thought this was for university sims? You said kids rooms? Im confused
Why am i now imaging Stanley as one of the characters ins his hotdog costume compaining about the overlord makling him stand for hours in the rain to catch fish. Then it cuts to a shot of Kayla doing one of her "can you get rich" game plays and it shows Stanley and the other sim stood at the river bank fishing.
I personally think the Sims team needs to make Kayla a regular Sim in the game, make her a regular townie like the Pancakes are and the Goth's. You could live your life in the Blue Suburban you'd build for yourself. lol That would be so cool.
Ok… get this, the main character realizes they’re in a simulation and stops following the commands they’re being asked to do… then BOOM 💥 cuts to Kayla playing on her computer going “ah no! don’t just stand there! My game froze … what if I just reset my sim” 👀 I would love that
I never ever download the builds, I just love watching them get built. I suspect I'm in the majority here. I like to take inspiration from watching you to build better lots in the Sims game myself, so I'm not bothered at all by how many packs and kits you use in your own builds - I'm here for entertainment and inspitstion, as I suspect many of us are.
headcanon that one of the students is kinda rich and that’s why they live in the townhouse, but the plastic sofas are replacements. there was an incident with a party and the professor’s kids’ bedtimes…
I'm fully imagining that the neighbours in that other unbuilt townhouse is the ex-spouse of the professor plus their new husband, and for some extra drama: THEIR townhouse next door neighbour is this professor's new fling who may or may not work at foxbury!
Kayla, you gotta understand that the vast, VAST majority of people follows you to WATCH you build fun stuff, the same way we'd watch an artist draw.

Yes
Also she should have a garage on the second floor
also there's a rocking chair right next to the front door and another thing that can be found on the wrap-around porch is a chess table. and there'd obviously be lots of planter boxes /lh
Or they have her flipping out when her Sim autonomously starts doing subduing dumb. As if she's losing control of her character.

Every time I see someone complain about a casual game being too easy I always wonder what their goal is when playing. I’m with you, the Sims is my relaxing game. If I wanted to be challenged I’d just play Zelda instead.
Yep me too, my sims are almost always living a perfect happy life, I don’t like a ton of drama. But I can see how that would be fun as well!
As a trans person myself it always makes me feel so so happy and thankful when a TH-camr I watch even acknowledges what's happening with politics surrounding trans rights. Thank you so much for all the work you put in to being such an amazing ally to the community
I appreciate all the good work you do for so many communities. You make me so happy that I follow you.
im a trans teen and all the support you offer to the queer community in general is so so sweet 💕 it feels absolutely amazing having an online community i can be in without worrying about what people will say to me. ive always felt very accepted here!! thank you :)
Did I watch u make this on twitch:yes
Am I still gonna watch this:yes
But honestly such a amazing build🫶
i liked the chaos, having your sims house get robbed while you were away or sleeping upstairs was always funny, the sims should at least bring that back
every time Kayla talks about how difficult university is in the Sims 4, I chuckle. I start all my sims as teenage runaways (Rags to Riches Style) so I can prepare them to qualify for university scholarships because I send ALL my sims to university, each term with the max classes, and scholarships are pretty much sending your sims to college for free. I always play groups of 3-5 teen sims preparing for university so I tend to have 3-5 sims in university and manage to get them all with A/A+ in both high school and university. I make sure A/A+ in high school to qualify for one of the scholarships, my sims tend to qualify for around 5 scholarships each. I've never struggled with this. but I do struggle with building and trying to record my sims gameplay! each person has their talents lol
It was difficult playing six to eight college Sims before the calendar became base game. I used to hand-write the schedules to ensure everyone made it to class on time, lol. Now the most annoying part is just having to enroll each Sim separately.
as a queer trans person it makes me so happy to see you working to raise awareness and support for the community :,) thank you kayla
I love that you promote trans safety and stuff like that!
And she supports Palestine!
Her support for the LGBTQ+ community is great and i love that shes always been vocal about being an ally ❤❤❤❤ warms my little Bi heart. Also Trixie Mattel follows her on twitter if thats not an ally queen idk what is
I live in Amsterdam and lilsimsie Sims building/gameplay videos are the ones I watch every evening before I go to sleep :)
Oh same, I somehow always end up watching Kayla's videos during my night time routine
I love micromanaging but also chaotic events at the same time. So more fires, deaths and randomness, please
completely unrelated, but i had this video playing on the tv while i was preparing lunch for my lil cousin, who i was babysitting, and he's not fluent in english, but he just sat right up close to the tv the whole time and midway, he went "i like pink girl, she fun" asgukcwabskblnfs anyways, gonna leave your channel on to entertain him while i do chores ^^
That’s the cutest thing I’ve seen today! 😂🩷
those doors from stranger ville are my sole purpose of life
I think the student side having the tv in a "weird" place makes a lot of sense. It reminds me of how my roommates and I had to put our tv in a corner because of the bad outlet placement.
Yeah, I currently flipped my bookshelf to use as a TV stand and put my TV on it lol
I love your limited pack builds! It’s a fun challenge for you to use items you don’t commonly use, plus more fun for me as someone who doesn’t own a lot of packs. I much prefer limited packs to limited funds. I like the idea of randomly generating a few packs and using them to create something 😊
I enjoy specific limited pack challenges but with builds like this one I prefer it as unlimited so you can be more creative 😊
As much as I appreciate you using limited packs as a person that doesn’t have many, I can always go in and furnish it myself, watching how creative you are with building is so much fun, especially when you don’t have that limit
also i 100% agree with you about chaos settings, that's common in a lot of the mods i use and i think it absolutely makes sense for the base game. i have a theory it's one of the elements they lost in development crunch.
I love this storyline simsie made with the house. She is always so creative!!
For the randomness of the sims 4 i personally like that its pretty relaxed but i like the idea of a setting where you can change how chaotic the game is! Kinda how a lot of games have difficulty's from easy to hard!
I never download houses from the gallery, I just love watching you build, so I don't care how many packs you use, but limited pack challenges are also fun to watch 😊
I love the Wednesday/Enid bedroom! As soon as I saw the beds I thought of the ✨iconic✨ duo 🖤🩷
I always love you attempting limited pack builds! As someone who cannot build and is broke, I appreciate having fun builds to fill my world where I don’t have to substitute everything 😅
8:51 Thank you, as a trans person in the US it makes me feel seen, cared about
Like it means so much to know you are aware, and you care
Thank you lilsimsie, for using your platform for good
I do appreciate the mix of limited & unlimited builds. :)
Also a toggle for randomness is a great idea! I feel like sometimes I like the more chill game play & other times I want chaos
rebuild entireity of university??? new uni's? :O that would be fun
I love the chaos honestly😭 I’ve been playing the sims 3 again recently and it’s been such a fun time
I will always respect your faithfulness towards making builds downloadable for a wider variety of people. You have often spoken about not being able to download stuff in sims3, and i also think you're aware of the fact that some of those that may benefit from the reduced packs build don't necessarily have the same voice as the all packs enjoyers. You are also committed to your integrity, and i appreciate that too. Love from sweden ❤
I love both unlimited and limited packs builds. As a point of interest I downloaded your blue suburban neighborhood without then having some of the packs because I absolutely love the build! I say do what you're inspired to do
Oooo the professors townhouse is nice! It really fits with that vibe! And the black and pink sides is super cute and such a fun telling of the story. I loved watching this! And I'm interested in the new sims movie so we'll see how it actually turns out! I'm also definitely down to have the sims be a little more crazy but maybe not to an extreme, happy medium like you said!
9:09 aww i’m trans and the stream is happening on my 20th birthday :) little coincidence obviously but it makes me so happy that a youtuber i watch every day is doing that for my community
Happy Early bday! hope your day is awesome!
Happy bday!!
happy birthday 🎉
Kayla, your imagination and creativity is absolutely stunning! My husband and I watch your videos and are always stunned at the storytelling that you create. I am always in awe of you! ❤
Although it is unwarranted my ideas on limited or unlimited packs is that using less packs to me can make the build seem more cohesive since you don’t have to combine as many materials that weren’t “intended” to go together. I still have most of the packs and am bad about using one thing from one kit. In my opinion it’s really to each their own of what kinda build you wanna make.
tbh a 8 college students challenge sounds like so much chaos - i love it! :D I recently had a sims doing University move im with her boyfriend, who also was enrolled and it is so hard to keep track of the homework and everything. The boyfriend even started in my household with being on notice and in the end beeing banned to enroll in Uni again for a week because of his grades!
Build challenge idea: first THEN last swatch
You have to use the first swatch of every item, then at the end switch ever time to the last swatch and see how it looks!
You know, just talking about the stairs and the fencing like clipping and looking strange one thing I really want to see one day in Sims is the option to remove a side of the stairs rail so when you build into a wall then it's NOT THERE in the freaking wall!
the trans charity stream is a great idea!! i’m definitely gonna be there :) i wish more youtubers would speak up in support of struggling groups because it’s such a good way to spread awareness
I love that Kayla said she didn’t decorate the houses FOR the Pleasants but then made one of the students' bedrooms fit the Pleasants perfectly
As a Trans viewer it’s really so comforting seeing a TH-camr I love actively work to support the trans community :)
I love Simsie and the community. A great safespace for us folks in the LGBT+ space. Though she doesn't talk much about politics, she understands what is best for humanity.
Anyways, great university townhouse! :D looks great!!
she does talk about politics a fair bit, and I LOVE Kayla for it
@@asaasa7900 What I meant is, she does when it's necessary. Or at least doesn't feel like she does because she does really well to keep the space safe and loving and well-integrated into her streams and videos. :)
I love when simsie challenges herself, I can see she likes to do limited pck/budget builds. But i also love when she lets the creativity flow! Keep doing your thing the way you feel better about!
The townhouse with the law teacher and student housing reminds me of the show , “How to Get Away With Murder”
I personally love the random-ness and feel like it really builds story and can be helpful for keeping the game fun.
While i love pack limited builds for some particular type of buildings (like starter houses or high schools), most of the time I love all pack builds AND i actually would love to see you build with CC more often!
personally i prefer unlimited builds, i love seeing what you can do when you’re not trying to avoid using certain things and just using what you want to use
About the 'limited or no limited pack'- topic. (English is not my first language so i hope everything makes sense) I truly appreciate you thinking about people who want to download this, and not playing with cc for console players. It's nice to be able to download builds off the gallery. But from the perspective of a vieuwer on TH-cam, I personally think it's more entertaining & the builds come out better when you don't use any restrictions (only basegame or budget and stuff). I think most of your subscribers will enjoy building themselfs, because why else watch 'building videos' literally every day 😅 So maybee thats why the poll votes come out like that. If i'm speaking for myself, I watch you for entertainment and building inspiration (and sims news). But I think your balance between limitations and no limitations is perfect right now. Something for everyone.
Edit: I think your a super sweet girl btw, and with your charm it actually doesnt matter what type of video you upload. I'll watch everything because I really want to support you & the channel. The charity stream thats mentioned in this one for example. Your always so positive and trying to create awareness. Keep up the good work. The mention on 'Womens Day' for TH-cam was totally deserved ❤
I am super sick today and I was getting desperate to find distractions, until I saw you posted! Thank you Simsie
Hope you feel better soon! 💞
The windows covering the front makes total sense when you consider that they are terraced so the sides of the buildings have no windows at all, if the front and back wasn't covered in windows likely some rooms would have no windows at all, and having lived in a couple terraced houses before, that totally happens sometimes lol😂
im a trans guy and have watched your vids since 2016 (which is INSANEEE to think abt lmao) and I just want to say that while It shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is, I really truly appreciate how loudly supportive you have always been for the trans community. you have always made your platforms an inclusive and safe space, it's refreshing 2 see :']
I think limited pack builds are helpful because I have a decent amount of packs but I hate downloading houses and then having to go back and fix everything that came from packs I don’t have. Unlimited pack builds are great. but sometimes like in this case I think limited is better for someone who would want to replace their lot with this one and university and do it with no problems! 👍🏼
Seeing the creativity on houses you make for yourself though is amazing and I’d love to see more but I think there should be some balance.
I think if there was a chaos mode on sims 4 that would be perfect. But for the most part I get so attached to my sims and then get sad when bad things happen to them!! So I think I like having more control as a player! But it would be fun to be more chaotic sometimes.
9:04 as a trans gender boy i feel so grateful and glad that one of my favorite TH-camrs is hosting a charity stream to support us trans people, there’s a lot going on right now for trans people and it’s really scary so thank you so much for what you’re doing, if i could donate i would but i am a minor so i can’t:( but thank you so much
EDIT: sorry for any grammar/spelling errors, I’m dyslexic 😭
The way I just started a gameplay with university students and I was about to build them a house and you upload this thank you🙌
I love the university challenge idea :D You should totally create that for everyone to try and enjoy the chaos
Kayla makes a cameo in the Sims movie as Eliza Pancakes. Doesn't even need to have lines, just Kayla in the iconic green tank top and glasses.
I'm looking forward to the charity stream! I'm trans myself, and it means a lot that you're bringing awareness to everything that's currently happening in the US. The world is a scary place for us trans folks, but you and your community give me a sense of peace, and I cannot thank you enough for what you're doing.
omg the black plastic pleather couch 😂😂
got one of those in my livingroom from the homeless program i was part of
23:57 not me immediately yelling "YEAAAAAH" over the Ace flag. I'm so happy for the crumbs of representation
As a college student in a dorm. Yes we do have the same wood veneer furniture everywhere. And I actually do decorate a lot. I wanted it to make it feel more like mine
You're so awesome at building i love watching you.
I’m imagining the main character passing a man on a lot in a hotdog suit and a floating roof feverishly making candles and a cut to lil simsie on her computer saying “come on Stanley” 😂
More chaos and more random - always! I would love to have them bring back the completely unhinged mayhem that was TS2
8 uni students??? I would crumble! I've never sent a student to live at University before, but I tend to send my Sims while living at home. In my legacy family, it is really common for me to have two go at once, and everyone else in the house is completely neglected...and each generation, I say enough. These two don't NEED to go to university! I'm going to save the stress and skip it...but it's almost a family tradition now and when they are old enough, I always cave and send them, lol. Also, I love watching you build using any and all packs. :)
an 8 sim student challenge is definitely do-able! i found it easy enough by doing homework in the order of the classes, enrolling on a friday so i could get the presentations/term papers/homework ready for the start of term, selecting 3 modules per term instead of the 4, and picking babysitting as a job for all of them since it's only on a weekend. doing their homework as soon as they leave the class keeps you on track, and of course selecting "take notes" for every class keeps their grade up. it's also better if they have different degrees cause all of their schedules are different so one can cook for everyone else if they are all at a class. it felt like a full time job but at least they all ended up with an a+ and were all the top of their classes 😅
Just had an idea for a challenge, don‘t know if you did it before:
An unlimited pack build, but you can only use every pack once. So once you used a chair or wallpaper from growing together, you can‘t use anything else from that pack!
Sounds really fun, I'm just worried about the amount of items you could have in total
Okay, just to ask. Does this mean you can only use one counter for the kitchen, or can you use multiple of the same item?
@@SammyLammy1Dthat‘s a good question, I think for auto-connect stuff as kitchen counters it should be fine to use the same pack, as long as it‘s connected. A detached kitchen island counter should be a different pack though!
28:45 agree, also, as someone who likes to have control but likes some randomness, it makes no sense to tune everything to the minimum instead of giving us settings
hearing kayle complaining about the bad lighting in the sims 4 right after I watched her building in the darkness of the sims 3 buildmode is just so funny to me I cannot explain xD
I enjoy most of the builds, its nice rhat you mix limited builds with "unlimited" builds.
Just do what your comfortable with. 💜
I don’t mind the unlimited packs! But from time to time would be nice if you can do a single pack build like you did recently with Backyard Stuff!!❤
i like having control of my sims if i need to or just want to. I dont usually love surprises
i wish the sims 4 was more random, I get so bored and tired of having to do everything myself and plan everything out!!!! But i don't get that feeling with Sims 2, I can kinda let the sims make their own choices and I can tailor the game to them, rather than tailoring it to me. :)
I like to think the students wouldn't go as far as to vandalize their neighbor's home--for one, because they don't want to get arrested, but two: because there's kids living there, and the kids didn't do anything. I like to imagine they'd have some decency, especially if they say hi to the kids every once in a while ahjsdkfk
Bring the chaos!!! I love the way the game was played and designed in previous Sims 2 and 3
the fact that you’re doing a fundraiser for a transgender charity genuinely means so much to me. that’s part of the reason why i like your content so much. you’re such a genuine, kind person, kayla. thank you for being a breath of fresh air from all the negativity online 🤍
Yes setting for control or randomness.❤
The unlimited packs/money builds should be your default - it means you can have lots of creativity rather than limiting yourself most of the time. Not everyone watches builds to download them (I bet most people don't!). I like your builds but they're very samey a lot of the time because they're always limited/base game/starters. A challenge is fun to do, but it shouldn't be every other video, maybe just like 25% of builds?
Kayla you, James and syd would be the only reason id watch a sims movie😂😂😂 you three are the only ones i watch when it comes to any build. I think a cameo would be so neat! Even just Stanley would be amazing... Also i thought this was for university sims? You said kids rooms? Im confused
Why am i now imaging Stanley as one of the characters ins his hotdog costume compaining about the overlord makling him stand for hours in the rain to catch fish. Then it cuts to a shot of Kayla doing one of her "can you get rich" game plays and it shows Stanley and the other sim stood at the river bank fishing.
Pack idea: My Second Pet's Stuff; fish tanks, feeding fish, catching fish and keeping them, etc
I personally think the Sims team needs to make Kayla a regular Sim in the game, make her a regular townie like the Pancakes are and the Goth's. You could live your life in the Blue Suburban you'd build for yourself. lol That would be so cool.
Ok… get this, the main character realizes they’re in a simulation and stops following the commands they’re being asked to do… then BOOM 💥 cuts to Kayla playing on her computer going “ah no! don’t just stand there! My game froze … what if I just reset my sim” 👀 I would love that
I never ever download the builds, I just love watching them get built. I suspect I'm in the majority here. I like to take inspiration from watching you to build better lots in the Sims game myself, so I'm not bothered at all by how many packs and kits you use in your own builds - I'm here for entertainment and inspitstion, as I suspect many of us are.
headcanon that one of the students is kinda rich and that’s why they live in the townhouse, but the plastic sofas are replacements. there was an incident with a party and the professor’s kids’ bedtimes…
I'm fully imagining that the neighbours in that other unbuilt townhouse is the ex-spouse of the professor plus their new husband, and for some extra drama: THEIR townhouse next door neighbour is this professor's new fling who may or may not work at foxbury!
