love how simsie immediately renovates her own build
Lol I moved into lilsimsie’s build and renovated it too. This is expected out of Simsie 🤣
EA just doesnt make it full simsie😂
i know right
I expected her to renovate her lots 😂
My favorite was when she worked on Snowy Escape and after the pack came out made a video where she talked about how she was going to renovate the worst build in the pack and it was her own build. Lol
From blue suburban to Blue suburban with a white picket fence!
This house has been so useful during gameplay, almost no starter-ish houses have this many rooms!!
yeah, it's great to have a starter home that you can then use as a family home without having to like physically expand the house out/add a whole ass extra floor
great starter to use to start playing w growing together so you can have your sims have kids without having to worry about the wild cost of adding rooms to your build
the update has been out for less than a week but she’s already renovating her own official build. the grind never stop
You just KNOW she was itching to do this video 😂😂😂
As someone who renovated all the lots already: simsie’s lot were my favorite to do because they’re already so good
you work quick!
Pro tip for my console players: If you want to access debug you have to be on a generic lot, then type in the cheats. The items are tagged as unknown not debug, and you can find them all by clicking on the option for "generic items" in the "Item by function" section. Happy building!
I needed this
Thank you!! I’ve been having trouble finding the debug items after typing in the cheats
@@amberb.6395 Same! Seems like the new updates have made it way more trickier to access the debug items!
Dude! You just saved my whole life! 🎉😂❤
Remember to change the lot type from generic back to residential after you build or your sims can’t move in :)
Instantly upgrading the blue suburban as soon as it releases, amazing idea
it released days ago
@@michellefishhead and ?
@@michellefishhead maybe they are just waiting for it to go on sale, you don’t need to be rude about it
@@angosrock2625 and i was letting them know because they said "as soon as it releases" implying that its not released
@@maxis7020 they said as soon as it releases not as soon as it goes on sale
She's like oh because I didn't get to build and get out my full potential let me dedicate a video of me renovating and proving that she is a good builder😂❤
You've been desperate to renovate these builds without EA restrictions since you started the builds, haven't you hun? Let's face it, this was cathartic. I would love to see you do another build like this, with a basic budget, but with no restrictions. I love the new stuff. I got the expansion just for the new stuff. I don't usually play with families and kids, but this has moved me to try more with families. I have a young child and a 3 year old of my own. I suffer enough 😆 Love and hugs from Sussex, England.
This house is wonderful for someone like me who doesn't love building. Moved in my first infant-having family, they had additional twins almost immediately, and I didn't have to worry about making my own rooms until their fourth kid. A gift
NBD, just me, a california plants nerd, casually losing my shit at 9:45 where the California Poppy (the state flower) gets a shoutout as the best flowers in the new debug. They really are beautiful, and look like that irl!
I have loved playing in this house the last few days! It was so fun to decorate and the space is so great - we had the Michaelsons come to stay for a few nights and it was so fun to push the furniture back to make space for sleeping bags in the living room >< so much fun! I wanted a slightly brighter blue for the walls which looks so nice with the new sofa in brown and other brown furniture....!!!
You truly are so talented! You look so pretty, hope you are doing well simsie ❤️
@Sarah 💞 no😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I’m currently using this house for my legacy heir but I just furnished it my self with all the clutter and things I’ve collected. I love that we’re getting more homes built by other simmers. Also love that Kayla is renovating her own build ❤️
I was actually really hoping you were going to do this. I was curious what you would change now that it’s been almost a year and that you have cheats. Love this!
I love the starter homes in this world. I struggle finding a decent size starter, or one that looks nice on the outside without spending hours scrolling the gallery. So this world in general is a game changer for me.
Don’t understand why you always limit yourself with a budget 😩 especially for something like this. Or packs, even. Would be so much fun to see simsie unlimited…
I know ! It makes no sense , like girl just use all the packs you want
it's so more people can play with it
@@MelissaB724 I know but it's makes her interior really repetitive and she's so talented , itd be great to see her step outside the basegame and one pack category for every single build
@@kbs3491 She never just lets loose anymore 😕 Not everything needs to be downloaded by everybody, sometimes you just want to see what she can do with what she has. That argument is starting to tick me off
@@a-girl-and-her-cat right , I feel like almost every reno and build looks the same now 😫
This is the most useful starter I've seen, if you're still worried! There are basically no other starters that have more than 2 bedrooms. I love it and it's now my go-to for families.
simsie talking about auto alt placing reminds me of the times when she (and many influenced by her simmers like me) would alt place & slightly rotatae objects like shower-bathtub combo, dressers to make it look more lived in 😭
all of our showers rotate as we use them, right?
Love that house. It amazes me how you were able to build a house with the small amount of money but yet have so many bedrooms. Your skills are astounding.
Aaah, this house is super cozy! Love the renovation, makes it seem more lived in and real :)
Extra bedrooms can always work as a combo guestroom/office, too.
Ok that tag about the getting rich from puzzles… I saw on one of James’ recent videos that you could sell the puzzles you make at the rec center and I immediately thought of Stanley 😅
My current sim household has moved to this lot and I love it! I swapped the basic furniture with what my sim already had (including upgraded stuff) and I placed the new upright piano in livingroom (left side from the tv) and aahhh
I love how, back when simmers didn't do the official builds, Simsie would go around the world judging the lots, and now she just judges her own
Judith ward moved into your house 10 minutes into playing the new expansion. It really is just that good!! 😭
I mean anything is an improvement from Judith’s pathetic excuse of a Get Famous mansion
5:53 NEVER ENOUGH DINOSAURS!!
Seriously though, a lot of kids get obsessed with dinosaurs irl so I’d say go all out dino.
I was hoping for this series 🥰 I know the item limits and alt placing makes a big difference!
I would LOVE one more of these. Same house, no moving the walls, infinite budget! I would just love to see your ideal house because I tend to go overboard on clutter and would love to see how far you take it when given no restraints!
Oddly enough, the thing I'm most pleased with in the new pack is the "science baby" ability. Now my main household matriarch can continue to have children, even though her spouse is now a ghost. Without having to cheat on him, as they're still married.
I honestly love how much effort you put into all of your videos! They are so amusing and I love to see you posting more about the new pack and base game updates, it makes me really excited for it! I have bought growing together and my sims have just had a baby so I cant wait to raise an infant and all of the new things included with the pack!
I love this house and immediately moved my sims sister into this house. So cute for her family.
A cool challenge simsie could do is make a house using the preset rooms EA makes for the packs lol
It was cool seeing you renovate the lot my sims currently live in! I've done a bit of renovating to it to make it a little bit bigger, and added a small pool and stuff outside.
wait this is the lot i have been playing with! didnt know you made it, i love it so much!
LOVE videos like this! There are so many constraints for official builds and I love whenever creators show us what they would have done without those limits! ❤❤
I love that this starter had 4 bedrooms and gave me liberty to personalize the space so quickly. It is quickly becoming my favorite lot to start in because I get a little bored with only 1-2 Sims at a time.
My new legacy family is living in your starter house. It's lovely to play in. I did turn the nursery downstairs into an office though, now I just keep the infants upstairs at all times lol.
I did immediately move into this house and renovate it but the house was already so easy to build on to that I wasn't stressed about it like I usually am. I'm not a builder, I'm a decorator. When I use her builds in my games it's always so easy to work with and build on to if I need to.
I could see the no move objects for the "official" builds because if a general Sims player who has no idea about cheats or whatever goes to upgrade the fridge that's placed slightly differently, they wouldn't be able to put it back in that same exact spot. But I love seeing how you changed it up after the fact!
My only criticism is that you think the dinosaur rug and bed are too much dinosaurs. There can never be enough dinosaurs. Otherwise, though, I love the build! You did a really good job upgrading your work without being too critical of yourself, which is always a good thing to practice!
I'm currently using this starter in my game! I'm slowly renovating it - my favorite so far is the yellow swatch of the herringbone tile in the kitchen
Seriously love this starter home. This is definitely my favorite starter in all of the sims 4.
i loved this house when i loaded into San Sequoia! i renovated it a little, making the nursery downstairs into a spare bed that the grandparents used. i also had an infant upstairs with lots of toddler stuff just in case. it was really fun to play with, though!
To be honest, i think the original EA house needed some more colour
love this! Im actually currently renovating this for my generation family to move into- they have more simoleons so I expanded it, upgraded things, and added in a yard
Love. Thank you! I learn so much when you do these videos, and I’m about to move a family of three into that house!
I've been waiting for you to do this Kayla!! I just renovated this house yesterday for my GT family. I really enjoyed seeing hearing what you had wanted to do. I'm totally going to adjust that master bedroom area when the family has more money. That bedroom is so small, but I was waiting to see what you originally envisioned before I adjusted too much. I love your in game builds!
Your blue suburban builds are always very calming and comfy for me idk why I guess maybe because of the color or you make it looked so lived in
her content is like a warm hug it’s too good… it’s too good…
@@emmanuellepatterson6503 it is! I think her kind aura as a content creator is a big help too
I love your builds so much, you should give us a tutorial behind how you make gorgeous builds!
Your first edits to upping the rooms sizes were my first improvements when my sim had some money. Then counters. This was a fun starter
Great starterhome to begin with! Easily expandable and many rooms for all the infants lol
Like hearing how she made her choices!
Love the vid and also you adding it to the gallery for ppl that don‘t have that pack. I do think that the reason those homes are so bare bones and sometimes even terrible is to give the player incentive to really fix up their home. A lot of the fun of the game is to make something that‘s pretty bare bones and dry into something stunning. And that‘s also the charm of it. It‘s also why I think they wouldn‘t let you use any cheats or alt placement. It should feel like a home ready to be flipped. Not like a already decent looking build. Although I gotta say that your builds always look great! Even with so much restriction.
My sims bought this house, and I immediately renovated it to make it nicer lol
I’ve been playing in this build with my six infants! I have two cribs in each downstairs bedroom and a travel crib in the living room - it’s worked well, they never sleep all at once anyway 😂
My current main family lives in this house with 7 sims all together. I love this build
It makes me so happy that the pack based on San Francisco has California poppy flowers!
Simsie!!! You doing this is ICONIC ❤ and I haddddd to buy the pack just because…. Not to mention the other creators who were involved! Y’all did that!!! Wishing you many more blessings 🎉
This has honesty been my new favorite starter. I love how much room it has as a starter! I pretty much am moving all my new sims in there
i was wondering why the houses seemed so empty since other
simmers built the lots but EA has strict building rules lmao, not surprised
My guess on the move objects is it makes it hard for people who don't use cheats (or know how) to edit homes as they play.
I am looking forward to a reno of the rec center because it is very functional as is but I really want to see what Kayla can do with it without the rectrictions. ^^
I'm playing in this house now! Loving the new pack! Thanks lilsimsie
I just love the blue suburban! forever iconic 😂
Simsie you are a legend. I love everything you build. Looking forward to more builds from you !
This is where my sims live!!!! I’ve only renovated it to have that downstairs baby room as a guest room so I made it bigger 💓 this is a beautiful house Kayla! We opened the game for the first time with GT and me and my little sister go “THATS KAYLA’S HOUSE!!”💙💙💙💙
One thing I will say is you have the best looks to gameplay ratio of any builder I've downloaded from.
I always find it easy and fun to play in any of your houses
4:27 as a turkish person, there is no such thing as too many rugs 🌠
My 2nd gen moved into this house and I renovated it. I mean like wrap around porch, stairs are different as well as layout, exterior color is bright orange (it’s my orange generation of the color legacy lol).
For the future rec center build, you can always put a pool in to fill some space. I know a few that have a pool.
omg I'm playing in this lot now and I did really similar changes! Like this plants under the stairs, chimney in this exact place and bigger bedroom
Your builds always look so good 😳😳 like how?
Same! Mine just look like shoe boxes, even if i try to do something different...
Mine are boxes with windows and sometimes I forget the roof
@@theeverythingkid same
I am currently playing this house. It was really nice as a starter that I could build on! starting a single mom generation family on this lot!
so glad you did this video! i'm happy to see you build without restrictions
I personally love this house this Is my go to starter home with my families. Love saving the money and renovating it slowly but still keeping the homey vibe
You build the best houses in the game! My favorite in-game houses to use!
I think you did a great job renovating just enough to make it a perfect balance of full but affordable with a tiny bit extra money cheat
With the extended stay/sleepover events, I wonder if folks are going to start building more dedicated guest bedrooms into their houses for when grandma and grandpa come visit.
You made the build, transformed it. AND it's already a official house hehe. I love it!💕💞
At around 5:00 how did you spin the item in a full circle. I’ve been trying to figure it out for months and no simmers answer me and no one i know plays sims. I can only rotate it in the automatic slots when clicking on the right side of the mouse. Someone pls help!
You have to switch your camera to the Sims 3 camera then, you click your left side of the mouse scroll and press alt, hope this helps!
Love the build that is in the game and the renovation. You did an awesome job. 😊
Not me immediately dling off the gallery yesterday the blue suburban and replaced it with the one from the pack, and immediately moving a couple in to have babies lol
I super love your house!! I appreciate you making a starter house for a big family its already my go to.
One of the things I noticed most in the starter home was how well lit it is XD
I love the new style we got to build with 😊 Craftsman style is my fav ❤🎉
I was hoping that we'd get more counters and cabinets though.
I was just waiting for simsie to say "I came in here so confident!"
Omg the house is gorg! ❤️❤️❤️
This house is where I started my new family. I love this version too. It's hard when you can't use cheats to build. I make sure everything is available to look at when I build so I can use it if I want.
Your house in the new world is literally my dream house!!!! I love it soo much ❤❤❤
The single computer by the entrance reminiscent of the 90s is sending me
Finally I have been impatiently waiting for a build video from Kayla 😂
I haven’t gone to your other house that you made yet, but the starter house you made for this pack is my favorite house so far. a lot of the larger houses that have a crap ton of room They’re honestly tedious to navigate think the starter house you have is the perfect size. It’s super cute doesn’t take much to make it perfect. I’m working on upgrading the kitchen right now after that I’m probably going to fence in the backyard and add the treehouse so that when my baby gets older, she’ll have the treehouse to play with and so that the dog has a fenced in area I know they come back, but just a fence feels more realistic to me, maybe some gardening stuff back there too if I have room, but the bedrooms are perfectly functional as they are, may be the parents deserve to treat themselves though…. That master bedroom is a bit bare
Let’s be honest, simsies uploading recently had been 👌🏼✨
I knew for sure she'd renovate her own build outside EA's restrictions :"D
(haven't started to video writing this comment, but for sure it's gonna be a banger!)
I played on this lot first when I got the expansion! It was great to start infants!
wait, it's actually such a cool idea to renovate your starter homes for when the family grows and makes more money to 30k, 40k, 50k, etc.
Not sure if it was intentional, but as a heads up, the windows and trims are a mix of the white and the off-white (cream) on the lot. So the fences are cream but the window trims are white. Probably due to the swatch of that foundation you used! If you swap the foundation to the color swatch of the white columns to match the wood and swap the fence to white, it matches back up! Can't remember if the stairs were white or off-white.
Just mentioning it! I still love the build and you did an awesome job!
yes!!! was hoping you'd make this vid
can you try and use a warm toned wood with your blue and white houses? you always make the house blue white and gaunt-y; pale grey and gloomy, cool toned light woods. Growing Together came out with beautiful lighter toned woods like peanut colors and would match your blue obsession. it's just grazy that you literally not only use blue every time, but you pair grey gloomy colors with all the blue. it's not warm and inviting.
11:24
the kids bikes are so cheap only 100 simoleans.
That is 2 toilet paper rolls😂
With holders and an infinite supply of toilet paper.
