I feel like lilsimsie HATED building mansions but then she was forced to build one for the EA build and now that's ALL she wants to build!
Accurate
ikr
They're hard to build for videos because they take a while. Mine are usually 4 floors and a basement or 2 and it takes about 20 hours of game footage you've got to cut and chunk down to a 30ish minute or less video. So it's a lot of time in not only building but then video production. I can only put out a video or 2 a week when I build real, real big like when I did the hotel from The Witches. So I get why she does the smaller ones. I focus more on the larger sizes and detail, but then I can't put out as much content and wish I could. I think that's part of her success.
@@SimmerChase yea
@@laurenn.2 not shading towards anyone though. I think there's room in our community for all of the diversity and strengths we all have and I'm glad Simsie inspired me and so many others to grow who they are. My mom felt bad and laughed when I could prove there are people out there making money, playing The Sims. She deserves it, it's hard to stay focused everyday on the game.
I can't thank you enough, you are the absolute best 😭❤️, this means the world to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️♥️♥️ I LOVE how your mansion turned out 😍
Hiiìi :)
Your builds really are the best :) Keep being you.
Kate Emerald is QUEEN of building!!
YOU are the absolute best! I LOVE your buildings
omg- you are actually so talented!!!
Build idea: ginger bread house for Christmas 🎄 🏠
that would be cute if we have Katy Perry Sweet treats in the sims 4
Uuu yass!!!!
Omg yes pleaseee
Yes pleaseeee
THIS THIS THIS
Kayla: “No one’s going to watch a 40 minute speed build.”
Me: *Would absolutely watch a 40 minute speed build*
I put on builds while I grade student's homework. I didn't think I would be a person who watches 3 hour long Twitch streams, but I totally do now.
Same
So I guess ur no one (I’m kidding)
Sameew
If it's by her ya
Lilsimsie: I hate building mansions
Also lilsimsie: *builds 2 mansions in the same month*
That’s what I was thinking! Lol
With the platforms and everything it's a great time to try and step out of your comfort zone. The main reason she never liked building mansions is because she always felt the open space was so hard to fill. With platforms though that changes quite a lot. Being able to have different areas raised and such just helps break up a floor plan even in an open room.
yeah lol, I'm pretty sure she got inspired
3*
edit: nevermind I forgot she built it in august
I love seeing the furnishing, not sure if that's just me-
Nah i Love it too haha
Same! I steal some of my furnishing ideas from her sometimes lmao
@@bluelol4843 who dosent 😭🤚
I totally agree
me too dude, me too.
I want to see some of the ”boring” rooms like hallways etc cus those are difficult to make interesting... like i need ideas haha
yeah agree!
I play sims 4 without any expansion packs. Like, my whole game is just base game stuff and in my hallways I
add: paintings, desks with stuff like: plants, statues and lamps. And you could also add wall lights to fill up space next to doors or in between windows. And finally, maybe include rugs that go down the hallway and how you can do that is by: connecting rugs/carpets! It's not the best idea since I just have base game stuff but it's better than a empty, boring hallway!
My thought exactly!! i never know what to put in hallways :(
@@oliveclub4579 I know the struggle. For years I only had Get to Work EP and basegame. Thankfully we've had some amazing patch updates that gave us a reason to actually feel enthusiastic to use basegame build items 😁
Think about what you'd put in a hallway yourself. Even though it may not be used the same in game, it still helps. Like a lot of times people use an entryway or hallway to put keys on a table, shoes, etc. You'd typically have a long rug that runs the length of the hallway as well. Mirrors are also a great addition to hallways because they make a space feel bigger and more alive. Chairs are also typically a good thing to add as well. In other words, when it comes to those little spaces like hallways, entryways, and so on that's where you want to spend a lot of time in the "clutter" section.
Lilsimsie: I don’t care about the inside
Also lilsimsie: Goes all out on the inside
i have an idea for a build challenge. maybe like a snowflake or a christmas tree :)
omg yes!! two Christmas-themed episodes where she makes a house shaped like each, it would be funny to watch her try to build a snowflake lol
@@mythics102 yess with all the empty spaces in the ends
I’m the opposite. I like furnishing more. I like building and furnishing, but furnishing a tiny bit more
I find it funny how she always says that she builds her house's the same, and that she's an average builder. But then seconds later you see this amazing mansion. I can't even build a house without it looking like a box with a window :(
Well, like she says, her houses are just fancy boxes. You start with a box then add more boxes to it. Typically that first box is what gets the main roof, then you copy it and put roofing on all the other boxes. That'll give you pretty much what she builds. When it comes to building the actual house it's very easy, just do something different and weird then work with it. It's furnishing that's hard.. the annoying wood tones..
I made a tiny house yesterday. I had to change the house today after knocking up the girlfriend, but it's still tiny. I only have one roof, but I made most of the 2nd floor a large balcony and it made it look so much better.
tbh i love simsie and i think her builds are amazing but i can definitely see where her insecurities are coming from
like for example emerald kate, all her builds do look unique and have this crazy theme on it, like a mansion above a river
@@0927kira I think the thing is Simsie typically builds things she'd love to live in herself. She doesn't go over the top with decorations and such. Her builds are great and practical for gameplay, so that's why I like her so much. Whenever I see over the top builds like Emerald Kate's I just wonder if I'd ever actually use it.. they're just *too* much in my opinion. They're amazing builds though, don't get me wrong. I just find them to be *too* good for the Sims world.
@@Eventide215 i like watching Fakegamergirl for that reason. Crack house and a woohoo hotel? You got my attention.
Someone: *wins the election*
Most people: *drinks all day and waves flags*
lilsimsie: *Builds a Blue Suburban Mansion*
Sometimes the hallways and bathrooms are the hardest parts to make interesting and good so watching these gives me ideas for my own builds, I’d like to see those sometimes
Hallways are mostly clutter when it comes down to it. A table, long rug, plant, lights mirrors, etc then filled with clutter objects. Bathrooms are the same. Toilet, shower/tub, sink, mirror, maybe a laundry basket, and so on. From there just fill it with clutter like toothbrushes, a cabinet for linens, and so on. Just think about things you have in your own house. Most of the things we have don't have an actual function in the game, but they make it feel more homely which helps get you even more attached.
One word: clutter.
Of course Sims doesnt let you clutter too much without using cheats so if you want them :
CTRL - SHIFT - C at the same time. (PC)
testingcheats on/off (needed for most cheats)
bb.moveobjects on/off
bb.showhiddenobjects (needed for the next code)
bb.showliveeditobjects
And placing items freely by using move objects and alt. Also downsizing items. Or the opposite.
@@piercedsiren Moveobjects is the only necessary one here for clutter items. The hidden and liveedit objects is just for getting access to other things that aren't typically accessible. Also, you don't need testingcheats for moveobjects. You can also alt place things even without moveobjects, but you can't overlap them.
@@Eventide215 i just gave cheats that helps. They don't have to use all of them. Beside testing cheats is useful for most cheats anyway.
And alt placing objects can't work of you want two objects to be close without move objects.
"the catalog was so confusing" not me trying to find the birthday cake in the sims 3 for the nth time
I'm always like 'why can't I bake a cake?? Ohhh yeah' b/c I'm so used to the sims 4
I love the sims 3 but I do not miss buying cakes
@@hanscapon222 really? i miss having a premade bday cake in buy mode
@@natalie9978 I just prefer baking my own cake it feels more personal
Challenge idea: take one of your “solid color houses” and renovate it by ONLY changing the swatches on the existing furniture so it becomes colorful
Good idea
That is a good idea
Someone PLEASE do this!
ooh yes !
Yeah
I’m actually playing in this house right now! Didn’t even know it was an unpublished house. The garden planters in the back don’t work though. Need to move them away from the bushes before it works :P
Why is a jack and jill bathroom in literally every TV show with teen sisters
it's Dramatique lmao
i have a jack + jill with my sister + were 16&19 ahah!!! but we have our own sinks luckily- + the bathroom made us closer... but also fight over toilet + shower hahaha
@@abigailgrace4303 Ahahahaha
me and my brother share a jack and jill bathroom...😟💀😭✋🏻
Gives the writers an easy thing to make them bicker over
Mansions hit HARD in the Sims, but lets be real. Tiny houses hit EVEN HARDER
furnishing > landscape
rather wanna watch you make 50 bathrooms than putting trees around xD
Same
simsie got really nostalgic and went and built a blue suburban, and even added steamboat decorations on the sidetables
I totally agree, a jack and jill bathroom sounds like an absolute NIGHTMARE. Both because of getting locked out, and because of the noise transference when a bathroom is between two rooms. Also I am also celebrating the election kayla, love the blue mansion
Kayla is just a ✨build channel✨ now and I’m here for it
lilsimsie: I like having a stream open so it feels like I’m less alone
me: *doing work and listening to her so I feel less alone* :O
if you like kate emerald’s builds you should definitely check out irene-The Sim Stream her builds are actually insane her creativity is amazing
I was thinking the same thing Anna!
I really love seeing the landscaping and outside of the house! I prefer the exterior of the house than interior, but I have to admit that I love your kitchens and living rooms.
I don’t have the patience to build mansions..... but I’ll sit their and build a massive apartment building and furnish every apartment...
It's intimidating trying to fill large empty rooms. That's why she can't stand building mansions. She'd rather build something a bit more compact and "cozy" since it's easier and more realistic.
@@Eventide215 yes, I get that that, I was just saying that if I was to build a mansion I wouldn’t want to finish it, but when I build a building with separate units, I am more inclined to finish. I think it’s because I like to create the families that live there
Ha, you might have ADHD if:
Building a gigantic mansion feels boring and overwhelming, but a gigantic apartment building feels fine.
I love it, so relatable
@@TankGirl9056 stop calling normal human behaviour “ADHD”.
The way Kayla talks about Sims houses is just great-
Like grandma almost always has a room or a potential potential room in her houses and I love it
Not only has Kayak ruined Eliza Pankakes AND the Landgrab's lives, but she has now taken to ruining the Delgato's lives by destroying their home as well...
*only in the sims...*
But granted now there house is amazing 🤩
but she build them a new much nicer house. i would love for someone to just build me a bigger better mansion.
i’m screaming at: gets verified, immediately tries to get harry styles to notice you
I would've done the same 😏
Could you do a video where you include smaller rooms, like bathrooms, hallways foyers, small garden areas. I love building myself but I find them small pointless areas harder to furnish, seeing your interpretation on them areas would be a massive help. Also with wall decor like pictures/paintings and wall mounts etc x
This is my favourite Lilsimsie house ever. Loving the blend of traditional and more up to date furnishing. It also seems really great for family gameplay
i would love a 40 minutes speed build of lilsimsie talking nÑSKDKKSLA
i really enjoy speed build sundays, it feels like we get to sit down all together and catch up!
the house is absolutely amazing, i really love it! tbh i'd really enjoy watching you furnish the hallways because that's a part i always struggle with, they're always so empty!
Kayla building mansions instead of small buildings is giving me so much serotonin
my favorite parts of builds to watch are floor plans and furnishing! something about watching a floor plan come together is really satisfying
Build idea: star shaped house or Christmas tree shaped house
I love watching your build videos, it feels like I learn a lot by watching them. I love watching exterior designs cuz my own houses tend to look boring squares. But I also enjoy seeing how you make the floorplan and seeing how design the indoors too so.. I don't rly know if I want anything to be cut out rly. But that you, I have learnt a lot and I hope some day you can see that you are more than just "average" builder!
Leave out all bathrooms but the first one. Leave out most of the landscaping.
I got here in the first 57 seconds. I didn't even know that was possible.
Same I got here at 16 secs
First 20 minutes and it’s the earliest I’ve ever been
43 Seconds
That’s impressive
I got here at 22... Minutes-_-
Personnaly, I would be willing to watch every part of your build. I love everything. I guess the only thing I would cut out would be...honestly nothing. Maybe your struggling with the floor plan ? But I like it too 😂
Challenge Idea: Build a mansion but every room is a different budget. But it has to be a higher budget than normal budget room challenges. :)
Omg - I bet this would be tough! I did the budget challenge with the 'must spend every last penny' rule on my channel and it almost broke me 😂
Say 13k-18k instead of 5k-10k
I really hope it’s just not me but I don’t want her to cut out a lot of the build... give me more simsie content
I'm definitely more interested in the furnishing! Even if it's not as detailed, I love watching it. Whereas landscaping is nice but not as entertaining to watch for me personally
I agree,I should definitely spend more time on the inside on my TH-cam channel,as much as I do with the outside,but i still crop out the landscaping thanks for the help x
Hi Kayla! Something I've always wanted to learn from you is how you shape and position the rooms inside the house! Mine always end up looking like a bunch of different size rectangles and they don't always work lol But I think you're really good at making interesting shaped rooms and using those "awkward spaces" super well :)
I could never, I can’t even build a starter home.. :(
you should just practice ands you will get better i sucked to in the beginning :)
Practice practice practice! My builds used to literally just be boxes, but now they're pretty decent I think. It takes some time to get used to how it all works! It also helps to watch other people's builds to figure things out and get some inspo!
Watching her builders bible helped me so much
practice makes progress my friend
Awhh! You guys are so nice!!
i love when you furnish more than when you landscape. mostly cuz it gives me more ideas of what to do. but i still wanna see a bit of the landscaping. hope this helps! keep up the great work!
i’m literally never here early i’m so proud of myself
you could build a super christmasy swiss sort of forest cottage, kind of like a gingerbread house but a realistic, liveable, and useable one!
Oh dear. My laptop is so old I can’t get updates. I can’t center windows I don’t have platforms, I CANT EVEN CONFIGURE STAIRS! so yes I do remember how it feels. Can’t wait for a new laptop💕
Love to see how you furnished it for sure. Glad you showed the back of this one that side garden is bomb
"Does Harry Styles post on Instagram?"
KAYAK YOU MADE ME SCREAM JUST BY HEARING THAT NAME OH MY GOSH
i always love seeing how a fun backyard can come together, i was never good at backyards until i watched your videos so definitely keep that in. bathrooms are meh for me. seeing SOME floorplan being built is important to me just because it shows that everyone struggles with it lmao. i personally enjoy watching the furnishing over the outside but that’s just me
Next speedbuild: Cut out everything BUT the parts you struggled with.
So… a regular speedbuild
“Sundays are for speed builds and speed builds only” ~simsie 2020
I had a shared Jack and Jill style bathroom during my freshman year of college. It was a little annoying but the one bonus was that if you forgot your key and got locked out of your room, you could have your suitemates (the other room that shared the bathroom) let you in and go through the bathroom to get to your room. It saved having to go through the process of having to get a spare key from the building.
to be fair, my sister and I have a jack and jill bathroom now, and we had one in our old house too.
neither of us bother to lock the doors, even when there's people over...
when there's people over, we just close the doors...
The uni where I live has those bathrooms. Their solution to the locking out problem is that the jack and jill doors open to a double sink area which you can’t lock people out of, and the only lockable part is a connected smaller room with toilet and shower in it. Would SUCK to get locked out of my own bathroom in college.
This is the cutest build I’ve seen come out of Kayla in a while. This is her triumphant “Blue Suburban Mansion” build, in honor of the orange maniac being voted out of office 🥳🥳🥳
I don't know if I'm alone in this but I would actually watch an hour long speed build. I enjoy you talking about your life as well as the sims. I feel like we're friends and I enjoy watching your videos to wind down. Love you Kayla
where was the "welcome back to speed build sunday" 🥺
For me it’s kinda nice seeing the landscaping and floorplan process since it’s what I struggle with the most but overall I really like to watch you furnish the buildings :) Anyways, I’d definitely watch a 40min speed build
“I like to have a place her sims to plant things, maybe grandma. Don’t know where grandma’s room is but..” Maybe, it’s grandma’s house and her grandkids live with her 🧐
i’m really new to building and i’ve only built two houses which both took me a week to make but honestly, kayla’s builds have really inspired me to continue building and really just inspired me in general.
I also celebrated that day. 😊 I can’t believe how many people still voted the other way though.
You should cut out nothing. These longer almost podcast style speedbuilds are really entertaining. Somehow even in boring covid your content is genuinely refreshing, entertaining and exciting. Love you simsie
The Boys 🥶: Saturdays are for the boys
Lilsimsie: Sunday’s are for....speed builds
I like the outside, but I prefer watching how you do the inside because I need a LOT of practice with how to do the floor plans and furnish mansions.
How is noone going to talk about the pride flag in one of the rooms! As a member of the lgbtqa+ community i feel so happy! Im so happy that we are represented in her videos!!! ❤️ ❤️
Thank you,I was just reading through this and I need to put this flag in more of my builds on my channel,as it should be represented,even tho this was for simsie it’s a big help
11:33
You know when you get a little shy while talking over your sims build 👉🏼👈🏼🥺
Kayak: builds multiple mansions
Me:mansions go brrr
I personally really like the interior decorating part. Like I like it much more than the outside designing. Also show bathrooms please! Thanks lilsimsie!
no one:
kayla: i wouldve loved this when i was younger
I'm not necessarily the biggest mansion fan (I do like them but prefer small cozy spaces) but THIS BUILD !!!! I love it, it's so beautiful! You did amazing work, as always! I really want this in my game now aaaaa
I care about bathrooms!!! (Not a sentence I thought I’d ever say...)
Oh thanks I just started cutting them out of my builds on my channel but I’ll definitely include them now thanks for the helo
For the record, I want to see you design stair/floor landings, hallways, bathrooms, and entryways or mudrooms. I live for the decor and the wall art and clutter!!! I love your builds!
"The back of the house is the same, but slightly different"
~Every sims builder ever
I used to be a person who only did CAS. I stopped for about 2 years or so and found sims channels. I actually build and play now. Thank you for inspiring me, my life is ETERNALLY better. Thank you, Kayak.
why is "breakfast nook" the best word Kayak says?
Same
House idea: you can only use one colour of each object
this house is insanely beautiful & by far my favorite build you’ve done thus far💘💘
the upstairs: it's smaller than you think.
You're pretty spot on with what you include vs cut out.
I prefer watching exterior work. And floor plans. Then living room and kitchen.
Video idea: make your house in the Sims four lilsimsie.
she’s done it before, but she privated the videos and had mentioned that she doesnt want to do it again for privacy because she doesnt want people knowing where she lives and going to her house
Oh
Include everything. Not only do I watch the builds, but I also play your videos to fall asleep at night. I find them very relaxing.
You’ve made two mansions in a few weeks meanwhile I got too upset making a tiny apartment and quit
I LOVE Kate Emeralds builds, they are SO stunning and beautiful to look at, i just find them hard to actually play in
I'm sorry but can we talk about how off we are about unnas annus like it's a whole new feeling
Memento Mori
Momento mori :// i found unus annus through an insta comment a week before the clock run out so i have only watched a few videos of them but i already miss them, the message they spread was very good and made me realize i should make the best of every day
memento mori
The people who ran the channel are Markiplier and CrankGameplays
To be honest Kayla, I like looking at both furnishing and outside, mainly the landscaping and furnishings. I love your videos!!
I personally prefer to watch the exterior being built because I’m SUCH a bad builder and I need all the inspiration I can get
Same
Google houses and try to recreate them. It helps. It's how I got better at building.
@@CrownedLily i go on zillow and get inspiration from there for my builds lol.
@@xaxylia that works too.
For anyone who likes Kate and creative builds like that, I really recommend Marmelad, Bidomaudo, Mossy Frey, Bear and Bun, and Simstopia.
“Whatever chip and joanna gains does, it goes” relatable af 😂😂
Kayla liking harry styles post to maybe get notified is a whole mood
kayla you’re wrong. i would watch 40 minute speed build.
I do the listening to streams in the background a lot too Kayla! It helps a lot with my anxiety. I hate public places and crowds, but I also hate being alone for long periods of time!
YES BIDEN WE STAN KAYLA
I personally loved building in sims 3 to be honest, I loved how we had those disco floors, disco balls, fairy houses & bunk beds. I loved doing like a twin room with bunk beds
Kayla: If i like a celebraties post they might see me... Does Harry Styles post on insta (Has a boyfriend) :)
I love watching these, and im always most interested in like, getting the shape of the house right and the furnishing! something i dont pay a lot of attention to is landscaping 😌
13:05 we jus not gonna talk about the pride flag.... okay den.
Also everyone calls kayla kayak... Idk if its a typo or some inside joke... pls help
its a joke because kayla sometimes autocorrects to kayak
It's a joke because someone once called her kayak
I love furnishing, maybe less outdoors especially with landscaping but the front door and patio areas are interesting
She is literally talented, i even cant build a starter house, it just a block with roof without decoration:)
No talent, just skill and lots of time spent building
