building a christmas tree farm in the sims 

I would suggest making the trees different sizes as well as having smaller saplings

The trees should be different sizes as people choose the right size for their home, and there needs to be something that looks like the machine that puts the tree in a netting for transport. I like the build though, looks great.

The way Kayla was concerned for the kids being ‘safe’ and ‘warm’ then putting a giant fire hazard in the room where they will obviously navigate to 😂😅

Under the mistletoe Watching the fire glow And telling me "I love you" Just being in your arms Takes me back to that little farm, Where every wish comes trueeee🎄 - Christmas Tree Farm (Kayla's Version)

for someone from florida, she did a pretty good job, but she did miss the iconic metal barrel fire fueled by branches that get cut off when someone buys a tree

I actually think that the children’s room in here is the best part of the build. It feels like such a great community space to bring the family. Let the little kids play in the playground while the adults go and have some hot cocoa and have conversations on the other side.I think maybe having different sizes of trees would be good. But honestly, the biggest thing that I would do differently is I would’ve made this a retail lot. Because then it would be like yes they can buy the trees, but you could’ve also set up stuff to be like ornaments and cards or whatever. So it really is just a real Christmas store.

as someone who works at a christmas tree farm, this is so much nicer lolll i would say to add more that one type of tree tho, + different sizes

In my heart is a Christmas tree farm Where the people would come To dance under sparkles and lights Bundled up in there mittens and coats And the cider would flow And I just want to be there tonight Under the mistletoe

Am I the only one that liked the restaurant idea? It still came out beautiful 😻

I think your issue with the trees was that they were all the same size. When you go to a farm you see a few different species and TONS of different sizes. Other than that you nailed them trying to sell you anything and everything else they can offer lol!

Awesome job Kayla! But if you do ever do this again, I would suggest making it a bit more messy/unorganized :D Real life tree farms are literally like forests filled with Christmas trees, so naturally the sizes, shapes and placements of the trees are kinda all over the place. Obviously I know that's a bit hard to do in the Sims, but yeah! Love this and cannot wait to see more Christmas/winter inspired builds! Merry Christmas everyone haha

in my heart is a christmas tree farm 🌲🌲

Suggestion to Simsie: it would be nice to have 5 min of a gameplay after each of your builds, just to see the functionality and how it looks in the game mode. Great job as always!

the snowy escape picnic table would have been perfect for this (and different sizes of trees)

With tool you can scale the trees so they arent all exactly the same size, just a tip for anyone wanting to build something like this❤

We have a lot of tree farms in our area. They do look like rows upon rows of identical trees sometimes. (Some have trees of different sizes and shapes, but many are "groomed" to all be the same shape and size. I guess they sell better that way.)

Aside from the barn being red instead of brown (and several acres bigger, but it’s the sims lol), this is exactly like the Christmas tree farm we go to every year! The barn is full of decorations and ornaments for sale in addition to hot chocolate, and they have a smaller shed full of wreaths. We have a tradition of picking out a new ornament every year. I can’t wait to go back this year, Simsie has made me miss it so much! 🥺🥰

This is where you come to see Santa! Get a picture taken and grab a tree.

the only thing that bothers me is that the trees are all the same size mostly because ive been to actual christmas tree farms and there is always smaller trees

I was thinking it would make a cute Cafe! Get your tree and get a hot beverage to warm up after :)

i really wish she made it a retail lot bc im pretty sure you can actually sell those trees that way 😭😭

Totally turning this into a retail lot 😍

Girl those trees are HUGE, most people can’t have a 2-3 story Xmas tree 😭

This is so cute but so different than the tree farms near me 😅 Most are just fields of trees and a rack of saws near a fire pit (so the one or two workers can stay warm). There might be a barn somewhere within view but it’s not open to the public

i want to believe Kayla built this inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Christmas Tree Farm” 😂

Your sim was innocently making snow angels and you just put a whole barn on her head

my childhood home is a brand new house that was built in the middle of an artificial pine tree forest, with all these giant pine trees all planted in neat rows all around us. it was a failed lumber farm when my family picked up the property. when i was little, i was always told that my house used to be a christmas tree farm (even though they're the wrong kind of tree for that purpose, and were never farmed as christmas trees) so i'm very excited for this video!

Been waiting for the day Kayla starts making Christmas builds 😻

A recreational center would also be a good idea, I rarely see simmers use that lot type, considering how many ppl whined about not having it.

I wish irl Christmas tree farms were this cute! Usually they're just empty plots with a bunch of trees, a machine that puts a net around the tree, and a stall to purchase them lol

The way Kayla didn't really like the kid's room when that was my favourite part about the build 😭💀🎅🏼

It depends on what the owner wants for the farm but usually i've seen they have uncut trees in rows and pre cut already netted trees for those who don't want to cut their own down. The trees are differnt lengths and widths as to have options so the cosumer can find one that fits their needs or/and space where the tree will be.

This is so cute and pretty accurate for not going to one! I love all the cozy decorations and the big tree in the middle of the barn is chef's kiss! I have a bunch of tree farms around where I live and they plant the trees in a round for lack of a better word. So I think having some of the rows different sizes to note that they were planted in an earlier/later year would add some variety and realism. Also I think this would have worked potentially as a retail lot or community marketplace too and have some like toys to sell or craftables to be presents.

I love your christmas tree farm, but I just want to tell you how they usually are in my experience in New York. Ive gone to a variety of farms in many regions in the state. There is usually some sort of barn/shop area, but it tends to be in the front instead of the back. They will sell things from christmas tree ornaments, to wreaths, to baked goods, to hot drinks. Most things are Christmas/winter themed, but that isn't always the case. Depending on the area, the trees may be on a hill or in a mountain, but they are always behind the barn/shop. Sometimes if people have reserved trees, the trees will be decorated. This looks super good, but I just wanted to give my Northeastern experience/advice to a Floridian who has probably not experienced this! Sending lots of love and happy holidays!!!

I love the idea, i think it would be more realistic if they werent all the same size - a few baby trees would be nice 😊

I’m from Maine so we have Xmas tree farms. Some are actual farms where you can cut your own while others are areas set up outside of restaurants or stores with precut trees set up. They Always have Christmas lights and cute decorations!

*ICONIC* and as that great christmas song says, *IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR* I'm so here for christmas tree farms!!

As someone who owns a Christmas tree farm, I approve and am a little jealous of how cool yours looks. I love that you're sharing your Christmas joy.

Just need a change table for the kidlets! We literally drag them out in the snow to play all day In the snow. Winter it’s a sled, summer it’s a red wagon lol 😂 Merry Christmas from Vancouver Island Canada!! 😊

This reminds me of that old Mickey mouse Christmas short where he worked at a Christmas tree place and peg leg Pete was the owner - I dunno, just a memory from my childhood

it would’ve been so cute if kayla could’ve somehow incorporated a decorated truck with a tree on the back for deliveries

Everyday at 3 o’clock I run to RU-vid. Kayla never disappoints!! :)

Alexa, play Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift (Kayla's Version)

IN MY HEART IS A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

This lot is soooo cute! It’s almost winter fest in my game and I’m about to age up my infant this lot is perfect for my sim’s family!

Can you put a cash register in the barn so sims can actually buy a tree?

My Aunt and Uncle had a small Christmas tree farm. My Aunt would craft wreaths and garlands from dried flowers and tree cones, to sell during tree season. She would also offer local jams and jellies and such, quilts, and other crafts available for sale. Those long tables on the sides would be perfect for that sort of thing. This would likely work as a retail lot. One could sell Christmas decor, pre-decorated trees, Cottage Living jams, and Eco Lifestyle candles & seltzers. Even bottles of wine. A regular holiday bazaar.

should make it a retail lot and then you can sell the trees!!

Aww bless your flordian heart. Christmas tree farms have different sized trees and different types of evergreen trees. So you don't have to use the same type of tree or the same size tree. Honestly, comparing them to the barn, the size represented in the video would be to big for most homes. Its still looks very nice.

Beautiful build! I would place it in my save and change it depeding on the season, like make a pumpkin patch for fall or flower garden for spring! If I want to hide an item that's required for a specific lot, I just build a basement with no access to it, stick it in there and forget haha

Being able to watch you change your mind is nice, especially for anyone else who likes building in the Sims and other games. It's informative to see your process

I found this and put it in my game as a restaurant because I just loved the Christmas theme of it. If you put in the snowy escape world on that one lot up by the mountain where it’s always snowy then it looks so good!

My Sims winter nights are taken up by static,stress, and holiday shopping traffic….but they close their eyes and they’re somewhere else, just like… MAGIIICCCC

I live in a place with cold snowy winters - and while it might seem counterintuitive a lot of the farms that do holiday light strolls or meet Santa events actually do have wide open windows and barn doors in most of the indoor space with minimal heating - and maybe a small room or booth for Santa with heating partially BECAUSE they don’t have a place for you to hang your coat -and most of the line or activities are outside so everyone is bundled up, and partially because their big season is not in the winter, so they aren’t built for it.

This looks like the tree farm near my house! It looks amazing as always :)

Omg its straight from an obnoxious Hallmark Christmas movie! Only thing missing is the ice skating ring.

There's a really cute xmas tree farm in Eustis/central Florida with make your own s'mores, cut your own tree, hot coco, animals, & a shop for ornaments and wreaths. It's fun. Santa's Christmas Tree Forest. I think you have to make reservations bc it's gotten so popular. Loving your tree farm. So festive!

It would be so cool if kayla could do a build for like a summer christmas based on her experience and the other half of the globe (its summer in the south hemisphere) like a house decorated for crhistmas but not wintery 🥲

Most Christmas shops is just trees and saws and workers😭😭 I want the tree shops in movies I be cold

The way I'm immediately going in and downloading this in the morning!! I absolutely love this build!!

I'm from michigan so we have tree farms all over (grandma even owns one no longer in business) and watching the one you make is so magical I love it. I'd go there in a heartbeat 💖

In my experience Christmas tree farms are much less uniform and more spread out. They’re basically fields with a mix of all different sizes all over with irregular spacing. I’d guess this is because you go and pick your tree so some get picked each year and others are left to grow and they plant saplings wherever gaps open up. Sometimes they have an area with specifically the large ones. They reserve some trees to grow really big for community spaces etc that want huge 5m trees. Most trees are sold when they’re between 1 and 2 meters, for in peoples’ houses. Edit: I don’t mean this to come off critical. This build is super cute and very in the Christmas spirit. I only mean this to be informative for our Floridian friends out there 🤍

The Skating rink would be a good addition to the park, it would add more things for sims to do considering the trees are just decorative in the lot.

i haven’t checked back in on this channel for a while (sorry!) but this video just gets me in the christmas spirit! thanks kayla!

you and satchonsims both love snow and x-mas! It is nice to enjoy people who like it. From thanksgiving to christmas is very bad for me so it is nice to watch someone who likes it.

this is so adorable i WISH christmas tree farms were like this 😭😭 theyre just fields of various species of pines in different sizes and by the parking lot theres a big fire and a bunch of chainsaws so the workers dont freeze lol also the barn would be fine you just need some space heaters or those outdoor heaters, we use them all the time in winter

I love Christmas tree farms they are my favorite thing! They usually sell popcorn or cider doughnuts too! I never gets too cold inside because there is so much going on! Love this build!

Thinking that kids dont play outside in the snow in winter, really shows that Kayla is from Florida lol

the only thing missing is the wooden slat shelves of all the already cut trees laying against with a couple of tables that have chainsaws, baskets of discarded branches, and TONS of twine to tie onto cars

MY HEART IS A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM WHERE THE PEOPLE WOULD COME TO DANCE UNDER SPARKLING LIGHTS🎄✨

I don’t think I have once ever been to a Christmas tree farm with official bathrooms they just haul out like two outhouses and line them up lol

In my heart is a Christmas tree farm. OK Kayla, I know this is Taylor inspired, lol. I love this! It's so cute

One thing about real Christmas tree places, you'll always have a few trees that just look like crap, with hardly any needles on them and only half the number of branches. haha

The last time I visited a Christmas Tree Farm . They offered a sleigh ride, to the area to help chop down the tree. Served up coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Pay for the tree and head home. But searching for the right tree is what was so fun. Thus farm you built is very sweet and generous 🙂 chocolate

I wonder if that could be retail lot type with only christmas trees to be sold. i’m pretty sure there’s even a tree without any decorations at all

This is SO cute!! What a great idea!!! It would have been such a cute idea to put some of the cards from Seasons in the kid’s room as if the kids are making cards for their grownups for the gift exchange. I’ll have to start joining your twitch streams if I wanna make suggestions tho 😅

For me (who doesn´t celbrate thanksgiving) Christmas seasons starts in november 1st. And I mean that very literaly like tree is up on the 2nd

My girl... My girl ... I know you don't all have cathedral height ceilings in FL. Lol. Those are all definitely outdoor trees. Should replace many with shrubby pines

I trusted the process and was not disappointed 😌 beautiful build once again!

I work at a Christmas tree farm and you posted this the day of my first sales day this season

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

Growing up here in New Zealand, we had natural trees because our lifestyle block had a shelterbelt of pine trees. However, we had to switch to artificial trees when the real ones’ branches got too big.

the beginning “as far as i’m concerned” … you’re just another picture to burn🎸💚

Kayla builds + Holiday theme = COUNT ME IN!

‘it’s subtle’ -huge christmas tree in a christmas barn surrounded by christmas tables and christmas presents

the sigh of relief i sighed when you fixed the un-centered fence

as an ohioan, i can vouch that the christmas tree farm we went to had a barn that was ALWAYS freezing. they had one little fire inside and hot chocolate to help you stay warm

This could easily be a library! ♡

you shouldve used the gingerbread house swatch of the play tent 😫

I would have put some stumps down in some of the tree spots, like people have already picked a few trees to take home. I love the Christmas builds so much.

Dont feel bad Kayla. Im from Iowa and have never seen a tree farm either 😂

Love it so Christmassy 🎄

Why does this give me hallmark Christmas movie vibes. Love the build anyways.

This rekindles my joy. Thank you. This is a delight

This was such a cute build! Thanks for sharing Kayla 🎄🎁☃️❄️

The ice skating rink really needs to be here 😭

meanwhile in the uk, we just get like some car park or field and walking through all of the trees feels like you’re in the twilight zone

MY HEART IS A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

Most christmas tree farms are several acres big at least where I'm from, so with ur limited space I think it looks beautiful.

Very taylor swift coded lmao love this
