building townhouses for my *entire legacy challenge family* 

Kayla, in pack settings you can turn off the 4 rent specifics to turn off tenant revolt etc which should make your family gameplay easier. Also for your cat issue with them not recognising each other... Keep a towel (unwashed) with all the "family" scents so when a cat has to go to the vet you can rub down that cat and get them to smell like normal again.

really loving these longer videos from you Kayla!!

Should’ve added a little weird vampire basement unit for Barb and her family💀

Justice for Gary and Jamie the forgotten brothers of April and Dory. JUSTICE FOR MY BOYS

It might be cool if Alexander and Arthur stay childless (just for variety) and instead that room becomes Gary’s child? That maybe they all help raise? I’ve heard of weirder family arrangements honestly! Edit to add: replies reminded there is a third sibling of April and Arthur too! Jamie! What if he lived in that “sleep over” room you don’t plan on using in the parent’s house to help them out? (More plot ideas in the replies of this comment!)

One of my cats gets “thank you for your wonderful visit” emails after appointments The other cat gets “has he been sedated? We can’t see him unmedicated” calls ahead of time 😂😂

… am i the only one that remembers april having 2 brothers? are there forgotten brothers on both sides?

When you shared the story on stream about Sunny beating up her poor brother while he was using the litter box, it made me think, "Ah, yes, this is why our cats escort us in the bathroom. They are protecting us from potty ambush." 😂😂😂

Kayla adds the dumpster in her lots like its a basic sim necessity 😭

I genuinely thought the extra bedroom in Arthur's house was for his little brother Jamie...

If I played this build, I'd probably end up swapping out the window on the Fire Escape for the ones from the High School pack so a sim could actually climb out the window onto the Fire Escape. Seems like a great sneak-out method for teens

The vet said my baby was "spicy" after her spay in February 😂 and that she.... "politely declined" the fecal test.

The whole story of it bluescreening and crashing was so appropriate for this series

Knowing the Goth lore, I don't think Alexander would have a telescope on his property! 😳

The tenant revolts are coded to happen as often as any of the other parties events like pet adoptions, and then have a higher chance of happeneing with bad living conditions. So its almost guarenteed to have your family members revolting at some point which is sort of annoying, but will probably give us good video content.

In this packs specific settings there is an option to turn the events off for landlords. Currently I am playing in townhouses of 4 too with my extended family and it makes the storyline so much easier to apply and play. I highly reccomend you to try it that way.

The fact that it took three 3,5 hour long streams and here it's only 40 minutes is impressive 😂 By the way, I watched all three streams and really enjoyed, it's a pity I almost never have time 😢

I’ve noticed that when the vet tells me my cat was brave, it usually means she had a really hard time. So it might be Frankie had it the easiest.

Ekhem just gonna add as we're already on those missed, forgotten Sims so well April has 2 brothers... What about her younger one?!? Omg someone rightly pointed out that Jamie can live with April's parents and inherent the house after they die! That's genius

On the topic of cats not recognizing each other after surgery: my cats both got spayed at the same time because they're sisters from the same litter and it was easier to just take them both in on the same day. They both came home drugged out of their minds with their little e-collars on and everything, so not only did they smell different, but I'm sure they looked like aliens to each other. It was so funny to watch them stumble around and growl at everything, but we did have to keep a close eye on them to make sure they weren't fighting because they both think they need to be pro wrestlers any time they're on drugs.

Justice for Jamie. Arthur's actual brother lol

Hear me out - a whole medival kingdom of tiny houses on 1 lot

The game just supplies a third party landlord if you don't assign one. I have an apartment lot in del Sol valley that only has tenants in it and the game just gave me a landlord. Kind of like how it works in city living. You can still purchase the lot if you want to own it.

I feel like a Christmas-themed inn like you would see in a Hallmark movie would be such a fun build!

Kayla!!! Don't forget about Jamie!!! April has two brothers too!!!!

I've BEEN saying justice for Gary for soooo long!!! good to finally see he's back (although I wonder if Kayla also brought his wife??? 'cause she did remember their kid lmao)

justice for Frankie! she deserves a certificate

I was wondering about Gary! When you didn’t mention him after the big save merge, I just figured neighborhood stories got him off screen. 😂

You can always bring both cats to the vet even if only one needs to be seen to make sure the sick one doesn’t seem “alien” when they return home!

I hope Silver brings his dogs along. Would be so cool to see Lola's puppies running around in the gardens

I know that April has TWO brothers, but Simsie always forgets about one of them, and I forget his name. I remember April, Arthur, and Whats-His-Face, I THINK his name starts with a J...

Poor Shrimp. Literally almost cried when you said Sunny rejected him. Glad they're both okay though. ❤ my orange cat is sitting here judging me. 🤣

rip garry and jamie. they aren’t dead, kayla just completely forgot they existed.

I'm so glad we remembered Gary! Is this a good time to remind you of April's second brother Jamie, the unpainted utility room in the basement and the unpainted laundry room in Silver's house? 👀

Not me thinking the whole time Kayla didn't really like Gary instead of she was forgetting about him 😅🤣

Kayla, we love the longer videos and how you’re branching out so much! I personally would rather have a 30+ minute video with you decorating bathrooms (because its not actually boring like you think) and redoing layouts (makes me feel better about struggling with mine and I like seeing the process) than a

Where I live stealing room from the neighbouring houses is common and in really old townhouses (like from the 1800’s). Some are really weird on the inside because of that.

I was excited to see how you were going to make a small townhouse work for a 7-sim family, and it looks really nice! I think Silver will be okay without that office space ;)

Love when u do personalized homes :) so much charactee

idk if i’m remembering correctly but didn’t april and arthur have a brother?! where’s jamie??

Maybe when August and Jasmine pass on Barb and her family can come to live! I want to see Barb again!!

I watched all the VODs for this, and now i will watch this too. Love your videos Kayla

Its so cute! i cant wait to see dory and april using their new townhouse!

kayla looks amazing in dark green 0:

has anyone else noticed that Kayla will repeat certain phrases a lot? Like in this one she mentioned "the lounge" twice in the same few seconds haha 😂😂 Just an interesting thing I noticed

the second apartment from the left is my favorite (Silver's unit). The inside looks so cozy and beautiful with the wood tones and the color palette and I love the layout.

That also happened with my cats! Once my youngest got spayed my oldest was like "who is this brand new cat that you brought in" when they used to cuddle and groom each other and play beforehand. They're close again but its not the same as it was before. Once they get fixed their scent changes bc of the change in hormones, sometimes they do fine, but sometimes they act the way yours and mine did. Also I had no idea Snap was already 15 omg

I am really hoping that you will add a basement suite in silver's house for barb, i know you talked about how you dont want to have a vampire in the legacy that doesn't die while all the sims from their generation are long gone, but barb's mom was a vampire too and she died pretty quickly... Vampires are the least Immortal out of all of the occults, I wouldn't worry about Barb living too long, it'll just be fun to see how long the vampire bloodline in the family can last before one of them inevitably wonder into the sun😅 maybe you can even set her up with one of April's brothers

Hey Kayla, looking at the background today I thought a fun idea would be to do an updated house tour? Now that renos are mostly done and you've been living there and decorating. If that's too invasive, maybe building it in the sims and using cc to decorate and give us an idea? I was really hyped for you when you bought your house and it just hit me you've probably done some serious work!

Hai Kayla, I love your video! You are my comfort youtuber/streamer. Since its almost christmass I have to craft for surprisegifts and every time Im working on it I put your video on in the background because its very relaxing and entertaining at the same time. Keep up the good work! Lots of love❤

That skylight in the playroom, there for the kids to see out into the stars is the coolest but also scariest things a house could have. Like, picture the kids staring into the darkness and imagining someone looking from outside or something

I watch you all the time. You have such a cool and calm presence and I enjoy your humor and wit. Your edits are wild, I thought I was having instant deja vu. Beautiful builds.😊

12:37 Simsie, to combat the vet smell when one cat comes back smelling different, my family rubs the at-home pet with a towel to get their scent on it, then rubs the same towel on the vet cat to transfer the smell so they aren’t so angry with each other. I hope this helps :)

I love this letsplay! ❤

i love all the different approaches you can take to playing the sims. Kayla avoids cheating more money for her sims but will cheat their needs and i am the exact opposite. in my mind half the fun of the gameplay in the sims (besides the obvious building and character + story building) is trying to keep your sims alive and well and relationally successful when they seem determined to do anything but that lol. i'll cheat their money all day long if it feels like a hinderance, mostly because their stories are already written out in my head and it doesn't make sense canonically for all of them to be broke.

I really like your houses, like literally each one, and their concept is what I would want to have in my dream house whether in the sims or real life, because I have the same thinking process as you, I really wish there was a way I could learn how you build, I am not as creative, but you are amazing!!

This build is MARVELOUS! The color schemes are brilliant! Loved loved loved this! 🩵💛🩷

We use a small dog outfits (like a Sherpa lined sweatshirt and a collared cotton t-shirt ) to cover the back of my cats neck and between his shoulder blades when he needs it. He has an allergic reaction to gnat bites - occasionally one will get into the house (like 2x in a decade) and he will absolutely scratch and bite himself bloody. The first time it happened, I had to take him to the emergency vet at midnight - and there was a very unhappy stabbed police dog there, and poor kitty had to go to the back without me to get shaved around the scratched area and the dog was there and he’s never gotten over it. He no longer likes or trusts people who are not part of the household, and he used to be a super outgoing friendly social cat. My cat has PTSD. Not making light of a serious condition- that’s how the vet described it.

I absolutely love this build omg cant wait to see it in the legacy 💜

justice for jaime!! (and gary) 😭😭 i’ve been wondering where bro went 37:36

It's really the best built in the sims that I have ever seen. I love every unit so much. Kayla, you're a master in the sims

The issues you had with your kittens are somewhat similar to what we went through with our kittens two years ago. We have Thor and his sister, Theia - Thor went to the vet first, and when he came back, Theia kept kissing at him for 2 days. Then when it was Theia's turn for the vet, when she got home...she kept hissing at Thor. Thor was a wee sweetheart throughout - his sister is just spicy. But they're all friends now, along with my older cat Smudge.

I really love this build and the video. I also like hearing what's going on with your cats. I'm glad they're doing great.

I didn’t remember Gary! We could say he just moved really far away! 😂

The cat updates are everything I could have hoped for!❤❤❤😂

8:48 i have a save where i did something similar and you could just move the fam without buying the lot, that way the game will generate a landlord and everyone will pay to them and not you :) personally, i preferred to buy w the landgraabs before moving my sims in so i could also set the rules and price (this way u could just set the price to zero without having to worry about the bills 35:50 edit: I HAD AN IDEA!! what if instead of your sims renting to family it was the goths? maybe mortimer and bella had this townhouses for a while and gave them to alexander as a engagement gift to him! (this way it would also prevent tenant revolts AND the need for money cheats lol)

I love your builds!! Can’t wait for the next legacy video!! 🥰

When I was watching this all I couldnt stop thinking about was Gary and thought that maybe he wouldn’t be living here or something. It explains everything

kayla, i would absolutely love to see u try out a 4 Rent mexican-hacienda villa type of build, like the houses in coco or encanto!!

I love this build concept!

4:30 my peach generation of NSB ended up having 5 kids (i only planned 4) so in their driveway i put a big CC van and also a police car since the mom was a detective. i don't often use cars but it was a fun story thing. so to people who don't understand why so many people want cars, this is why lol. i don't mind having to download CC for it, but some people can't.

I had in fact been wondering why you hadn’t been posting the legacy challenge and it’s actually embarrassing that I’m that attached to literal pixels but oh well I love them 😭

Frankie deserves that certificate 🥺

Miss Kayla, perhaps you can make use of the Vault in your sims lives? I personally don't like to cheat money numbers. I currently have a household with a human that drinks vitality nectar, a vegan vampire, and a spellcaster that was adopted by them but makes her potions. I've embraced farming for them so they grow their own ingredients for their respective drinks and potions. I have the vault in the basement to hold all the ridiculously large amounts of money they make. That and children who grow up here usually move out with a million of their own.

always looking forward to kaylas posts everyday!! ❤

This build rocks!! Can’t wait for the gameplay

I'm in love with your builds!! ❤️ This one's especially unbelievable ❕

Ahhh I love your build vids so much😭

Honestly yes, that mama cat has now all the internet support, she was pregnant alone, gave birth ON HER OWN, and fed and took care of the kittens, enough to make them survive. She is a girl boss and she NEEDS her certificate!

These are so cute! Also, anyone who thinks this isn't realistic is ridiculous. People make renovations to townhomes and duplexes like this all the time. Why wouldn't someone take some space from an adjacent unit when they own the whole building? I live in a 100 year old duplex and the previous owners definitely weren't thinking about resale value when they made renovations. :P

I had the same exact issue when our cats were spayed. One of them was in heat and had to be kept separate from the others for several days after the surgery and then when they were allowed to be together again, the other two acted like they didn't know her. Thankfully they all got over it after a few days. But it was super stressful.

LOVE the longer videos babe!!!

Im so excited to see what chaos will be caused by them all living so close together

Omg, I was so excited to see that Kayla uploaded this build video!!

I love this content so much! My cat also loves to hang out and cuddle during your videos! It’s just too perfect. His name is Illy, short for Illustrious the Titty Hacker Iscariot Labelle. He’s a black and white boi, and I’m happy he loves you as much as I do!

I love longer videos, They help me relax when i have them in the background while playing Call of Duty😭

4:09 Kayla you good? repeating the lounge in brindleton bay

Row houses with shared backyards are actually a thing in some places :)

My dear cat Artemis is having some health issues and it’s very stressful for me right now. I am happy your cats and doing well right now despite some stress! Anybody who reads this and knows wants to send good vibes, we’d both appreciate it💜

Justice for the extra brothers. Poor Jamie didn’t even get a honorable mention

My female cat did the same, she suffered on and off with anxiety her whole life. But it was mainly when she was seperated from me. She would chew her furr out on her back leg. But she was such a sweet girl. I lost her a couple months ago, but she was old. Nothing to do with her anxiety. I found her anxiety would be fine for a while then she would just have flair ups. ❤

6:40. in my opinion, i feel like there should be an extra lifespan, because we have, the normal, the short, and the long one, which i feel like we should have a fourth, with like 50 days for adults

I have been wondering about Gary since University started! I am so happy you remembered him!

Wasn't Gary married too? Caroline? I remembered Gary but you didn't see the extended family that much in general so I figured we just hadn't seen him 🤷‍♀. Sounds like Barb had to stay in Forgotten Hollow?

everyone… it’s the build IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

YES i’ve been waiting for this 🎉🎉🎉 thank you!🎉

Aww, my main sims family lives on the same lot! I like this lot, it has a great view but the « driveway »/pavement on the edge of this lot is driving me crazy because looks weird with my sims’ blue suburban house and their driveway, it makes no sense. I love your build and how you decorated your sims’ house.

YESSS i love making my sims suffer. they live paycheck by paycheck while juggling work, college, and babies

I had, indeed, forgotten aboy Gary until you mentioned him. I was like, "who did you forget??" and when you said Gary I audibly gasped and was like "Oh no O.O!!"

When my cats got fixed. I separated them for a week/ 2 weeks and then everyone got a bath:)
