building using *only* my least favorite sims kits 

I never even realize it’s another blue build until she mentions it. New challenge: lilsimsie builds without criticizing herself! Let the build thrive girl

As a moroccan person the oasis pack have made my heart chuckle lol, especially the doors and the tiles are sooooo moroccan it makes me happy i always use the tiles because i love them ❤ i suggest you look the word "riad" or " moroccan house/riad" and you'll have endless options~

Courtyard oasis items are really beautiful, but most people including me simply don't know how to use it bc we don't have experience with this style. I wish instead of like 3 different kits we got one game pack with a middle eastern or Indian inspired vacation (or livable) world

Sims challenge for Kayla: build a house without using ANY blue. Like no blue at all. Nothing. Not even as an accent, not even a pixel of blue.

I'd love to see Kayla go back and decorate this with all the other packs / expansions installed. Surprisingly, there's a ceiling lamp from the Batuu pack that would go really well with the courtyard stuff

I love how Simsie tries to build us starter homes when most of us immediately use cheats anyway. 😅

A “starter home” maybe for the landgrabs!!

I have NEVER seen the courtyard oasis items in-game until this video. They're so beautiful it seems impossible to mix them with anything else. I wish more dlc had roof/platform trims and freizes.

I used the Courtyard Oasis kit for a Library I built in Oasis springs. It helped to look for inspiration images online before I started. The homes in Morocco, where this style is popular, are much different than your typical North American home. Just my piece of advice if anyone else is thinking of trying this.

I love Simsie spending 47,000 on a small house saying it’s so expensive, then there’s my 200,000 small house wondering where I went wrong

Build challenge : build a house using only basegame and journey to Baatu. Can be a star wars theme, but i think it'd be pretty funny either way

Kayle builds a blue oasis. I’m so proud of her for branching out 😊

Maybe you could try building the whole house only using kits? I'd love to watch it❤

I finally realized why kits bothered me and I never use the ones I have: because you can’t furnish a full house and nothing else fits with it! It seems so obvious now but i had to hear you say it haha. Beautiful build, and definitely worth the price :) I hope you'll make more build challenges with kits or older packs!

Omg I just came back from a trip to Portugal and some items in this build gives me so much Pena Palace vibe! Now I know this kit leans more towards Moroccan architecture but now I want to recreate a tiny version of the Pena Palace with this kit! Thanks Kayla for the inspiration

This build is so genuinely stunning i dont even care that its expensive

I appreciate that you didn't limit yourself to your starter home budget & just rolled with your inspo!

Here's a build challenge. Build whatever you want. Don't worry about size, restricted packs, or budget.

New challenge: No restrictions build, use all the packs you want, without a budget and the size you want. I would love to see what you would create

courtyard oasis is actually my favourite build kit ! but it really is hard to pair with other kits OR use it by itself

This is a really cool build! I actually end up using a lot of Batuu stuff for this style of house, since the OG star wars was filmed in Tunisia, and a lot of the sets took inspiration from the local architecture

It's SO pretty, I think this kit just doesn't lend itself well to cheaper builds, less versatility but it's good to have them anyways

13:40 I think you did a lot better than what I would have done. I think it works for Oasis Springs. It gives me middle Eastern home vibes. Very beautiful architecture.😊

I think paranormal stuff and some Batuu (sorry but it’s true) stuff could work with this kit. I’d love to see more African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern content tho!

It may not be a starter home, but how could it be with all those lovely tiles, doors, and friezes. It is gorgeous!

This is my favorite build you’ve EVER done. That may or may not be because having a smallish home with a courtyard has been my actual dream since I was a kid. Like, I’ve had actual dreams about this house. Downloading and remodeling it with more packs as I type

It’s not a blue suburban. It’s giving Middle East home vibes.

I love this kit, and I think you did a great job

I would love if they made a travel themed expansion pack, with hotels that you talked about recently, and then the neighborhoods in the world, would be inspired by different places 😍 That would be so interesting 😍🌍 I would love to see something like India, Thailand, Australia, Egypt, Kenya, Greece (more than in tartosa😅), Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, Peru... Lots of very different places 😍 I live in Denmark, but I love the different types of cultures 💕

That build did actually make me want to buy that kit in the near future. Would love more middle eastern/ indian inspired items. An being from Denmark scandinavian styles :)

I love this build! It’s so beautiful! I think the best way to utilize the top section (if you were going to make it accessible) would be to have a staircase coming from the back on the outside.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this building style, my personal dream is to live in a riad, so it's honeslty my favourite build kit. If you want to keep building them, we can never have enough riads in this game (and my sims always live in houses you built so I'd love it)

courtyard oasis is honestly one of my favorite kits, i just have such a hard time building with it

I think this would be a really cool rental if you added a hot tub or something for sims on vacation

actually perfect budget for "sheikh's daughter's first home" vibes

Limited pack build with this and Wedding Stories for a community lot is pretty epic. And you can't go small. You MUST go over the top. I've never seen a dwelling or public space featuring such ornate architecture that wasn't large. Ya need the height and space in the dessert. It gets HOT.

I love this build!! This type of architecture is really familiar to me so I love that the game includes it, it's cool to see your take on the style :D

This video is giving me the urge to make a building with a beautiful oasis 😫 I don’t have this kit but I can still draw inspiration from it

It's like a little palace! There was a sims 2 ep which came w moroccan style furniture and I cant remember which one was it but I was obsessed with the sofa from that collection and i would put it everywhere even if it didn't match! it reminded me of that hehe

I always loved style of this kit, but I wouldn't know how to use it. However, I think your build is beautiful Kayla! And it fits in Oasis Springs.

I actually really liked the style of this build

With the title and intro, I fully thought this would be with multiple kits, but these build is beautiful

I think that one other kit that goes well with this one is the pack with the tiger wallpaper. I think they complete each other a lot and they are nice to use together.

my reaction at the courtyard oasis build kit thumbnail: 😰😱 WHAT. Courtyard oasis is possibly my favorite build kit, and I have all of them except for country kitchen (and vacuums if that one counts)

I love this style! I’d love to see a bigger family home in this style

it’s beautiful and it looks so different from the usual suburban homes

this kit is so beautiful omg

It’s gorgeous!!

I love expensive one-bedroom "starter" homes. I use them when I wanna play with a new generation of YA sims in a long-established family. Like, my previous Sim is an elder now, super rich with a huge house that I've played in for a few generations. The next generation, I want to move away and start again. A house like this is perfect because my household can afford it and my new YA Sim will struggle a bit to pay the bills. My Sims being super rich can get too easy sometimes, so a house like this is a great way to make things challenging again when I get bored.

Ooh, that courtyard oasis door is soo Indian! This whole place looks gorgeous and desi!

I love this, it's so awesome! This build is so beautiful, everything is so intricate and thought-out, it's genuinely stunning!

Build Challenge for Simsie that just popped in my head : build something using EVERY SINGLE ITEM from ALL of the build kits. Can use base game if there is no major appliances or plumbing BUT have to use the most expensive base game item if you must use them. It is okay to repeat items cause it’ll be even funnier to try make the rooms look different with the same items. I’m gonna try it myself 😂😂

Motherlode is SUCH a throwback, I used it ALL THE TIME when I played TS 3 and when I began playing TS 4, but I haven't used it since watching Kayla!

I liked the build so much. Honestly once you started the flooring, i wasn't even thinking about the starter home because it gave me Alladin and Mughal architecture vibes and it was looked very good. the upper floor had so much potential if not for the limitation of just bg and the kit but for flooring maybe like plain marble floors, and lean into the idea of like plain white, black or blue colors and a lot of decor. Like that armored statue from the bg. It can be like a collectible. Also for the roof, i thinki you could have just left it as it is because a lot of those buildings have like an open middle with fountains and/or gardens. I think you were limited by the challenge, i dont know, but now with the blooming kit and the greenhouse haven, i think this lot can be improved.

Its sooooo cute how u can tell she had loads of fun building this. I love how she truly deeply loves the sims and her content! Beautiful build btw!!

Honestly I looooove the tile and doors in this pack but its the only thing I like about it 😂

ok i need you to a house like this for the next ramandan, this architectural styles all packs, no limits, because this was beautiful

This kit is also giving Riads in Morocco. It’s sooo beautiful!!

Courtyard Oasis is one of the best building kits in my humble opinion. And your house is really, really good!!

I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant and I've been watching your videos since the beginning without any ear phones and now my baby boy knows your voice and starts moving and kicking when I start watching you. It is so cute! 💙✨

I will say, I love using the courtyard oasis things with the vampires pack specifically! I know, weird combo, but my idea is that the vampires are from Romania- and Vlad the Impaler was the first vampire and he specifically fought with the Ottomans/Turks. So it's not completely out of the question for the courtyard oasis pack- which is kinda themed like the Ottoman Empire- to show up in some vampiric builds...

I’d love a series of challenges where you only use one pack at a time and have to use every Item at least once.

I would love to see what you would build with this pack as the primary inspiration, but include items from island living and my wedding stories

In Morocco the use to have typical houses with an internal courtyard with a fountain 😮 you were so right!!!

Love this. I would love to see you do an updated build using only kits. I think it could be fun lol.

This house is so nice!

7:31 Jungle Adventure bathroom fixtures would look great there.

What I love about that kit is it has the same vibes of some objects in the base sims2 game. There was an old lady in the desert world with a giant cemetery and an Arab looking house

aww i like the tours at the end

Such a cool build! Kinda reminds me of a cafe I went to in Oaxaca Mexico. Which made me think a restaurant in this kit could be so cool & the price doesn’t matter ;)

You did amazing. You need to do more builds like this.

it’d be cool to do a build with ONLY your least favorite expansion pack, your least favorite game pack, your least favorite stuff pack, and your least favorite kit, and of course base game. but just a build of all (and only) your least favorite packs

In her kit review for this kit she said “Super easy to build a starter home with"

This build is amazing! So so beautiful

I’ve been wanting simsie to build more with the oasis kit since it came out!! I hope she does another build with all the packs

this house would also slay in tartosa it slays in general

Maybe it’s the particular style of the Courtyard Oasis kit but I’d love to take it and try to build a community center that’s attached to a mosque. The color of the blue tiles reminded me of the main mosque in my hometown 💙

I really like this !!! I cannot build with this kit to save my life... even though I do really love this kit !

How about turning the space above the back bedroom into a balcony and having stairs outside to access the upper level? This build is actually really beautiful!

Am I the only one missing stuff packs?

Jungle adventure fits so well with this kit

Perfect vacation home! 🥰🤩

this is SUCH a beautiful build, I'd love to see you do something again in this style with unlimited packs

This is so good! I have yet to figure out how to build with this kit.

I actually really liked that kit. I think it mixes with other stuff pretty well 😊

I think for the upstairs situation, you could have done a separate small room that just has stairs, either accessible from the outside or from a room. That way you get another amazing arch or door and your upstairs is free to use.

I like it, and you inspired me to try building with the kit next time I play

I’d love to see you renovate it with all packs and kits and all installed!

Build challenge: random room size, random budget, and random number of items for every room. Bonus challenge: roll for two random colors for the color scheme for either every individual room or the entire house.

I feel her stress over screen😅 I understand that she is considering other players who would might want to download her build. But honestly I just wanna watch her build however she wants, without stressing about budget, how many packs or kits are there etc. Anyway I think u nailed. Really loved shell of the building 🌻

this is amazing bc this is how our traditionnel homes looks like in my country, and it make sence why its expansive bc Queens and kings had those big stuff ( basic ppl have normal size stuff )

I love the challenge. Please do it more often as it really creates lovely houses for people with limited packs, too!

This arab, specially moroccan kinda style is so beautiful, we have a bit of it in Brazil bc there has been many arab diasporas landing here and Idk if it's because the Iberian peninsula was Muslim dominated for a LONG time, but we tend to find this style absolutely stunning. Even in houses where this isn't the main style, you can see some influence. You did great!

Court oasis is my favourite kit so I love this build!

It is gorgeous ! Stunning. Really ! Thank you for this :D

Hey Kayla, I think it would be super helpful if you did a kind of tutorial style video about platforms! I remember you doing one sort of recently about roofs that was great - I never use platforms because they scare me and I always break my builds with them somehow lol

challenge for the comments: let kayla build however she wants bc she’s a human who’s allowed to be dissatisfied with herself

Expanding on the ceiling fan and the taller wall height, it would be pretty cool if more industrial style fans were added-specifically fans that are made for medium and tall wall height. Plenty of them in real life are suspended from the ceiling by poles, so it would make sense, right? And more "normal" ceiling fans. Not everything has to have a quirky and uncommon model. Even if it was a kit, just a kit of appliances and electronics that were normal. I'd LOVE a window unit air conditioner, or an other side to the one that exists in game (the one with the grates on the front that you stick outside). Not having the interior version sucks :I

Video idea: renovate this build with all your packs so we can see your true vision for this house

This pack is not “starter house material”. This is for something luxurious for, like, a Moroccan princess or a Turkish princess ✨
