i build a MANSION using just the base game 

For the Infant Madness stream, you could add an adult every $5k, or even just every $10k, so that there are rewards for you as well, and so that the infants don't get taken away because there aren't enough adults to take care of them.

“On any given day it’s very likely that I’ve cried about columns in the sims 4” Simsie is so real for that

I've been building in the sims 4 for yeeears and I've never been able to create nice looking mansions that I'm really proud of, even with a lot of packs, yet here is Kayla building one with just the base game. Honestly, my props to everyone who can make nice looking mansions in the sims

your mom texting you about the infant update is so adorable. you can tell she’s passionate about your passions ❤

Building Idea: each room is based on a different rug. The avocado rug, the zebra rug, the princess cordelia rug, the Cottage Living rug, etc.

I think we can all agree that watching simsies video just makes our day ❤

I really hope they go back and update base game with new swatches or changing textures and adding things to make them look more cohesive with newer updates. AND MATCHING WOOD TONES

I can't wait to see the 23+ infant challenge for St Jude's LOL

Your dad has cancer? Kayla I am so sorry. I hope he can recover, sending him and your family love ❤

I want simsie to make townies too! Families, couples, single people. She would make a good story

Kayla talking about the infant update at family dinner 😂 I love it

As someone who has witnessed a child going through cancer what you do for st. Judes does so much for families and I love your dedication to the cause :)

aw kayla i lost my mum in march to cancer. she fought so so hard. i genuinely didn’t think i could live without her but i’ve come to realise she’s no longer in pain and i get some relief in that. it’s not an easy journey to watch a loved one go through treatment/appointments/pain and just everything that comes with it. sending so much love to you and your family 🩷

I like the idea of creating your own distinct neighborhoods! Even if you don't make them income based, it could be based on architecture style. I haven't ever planned that far ahead before lol.

I love Simsie's St. Jude month of May! Not only is she a fantastic builder, she is a kind and giving person!

I say this as an OG Simmer, but this mansion ( mostly the front of it ) reminds me so much of what you would see the Sims 1 intro cut scene - the one you would watch when you would start up the game every time - even though I know that was totally on accident. The outdoor decorations not so much, because it really only had like...a tree or two, but the actual build itself is just so nostalgic. Because of that, I genuinely love this build. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up on RU-vid, you'll see what I mean. I'm for sure downloading this from the gallery!

Base game builds are so underrated tbh not only because they can be used by someone who doesn’t have anything extra, but also for everyone else it’s so nice to know downloading it off the gallery that there aren’t gonna be random empty spaces and blank textures to fix because you don’t happen to have the same highly specific combination of packs as the person who made it. This is a perfect build for someone who just wants to get going on gameplay right away

when i hear “20 year anniversary” it’s so obvious to me it should’ve been a lore update :/ oh well, can’t expect the sims team to be creative at this point

Happy play live season!! I can’t wait to see how much you’re able to raise for St. Jude’s this year.

i swear.. ive seen this video before..

The story of your sister forgetting the infant update unlocked a memory. Back when Sims 2 was active & going & your sims could have babies, I shared my discs with my older sister for her to play. When our dad was visiting her, she - without context - commented to him that she needed to remember to ask me how to have babies.

As a person who work in the game industry I love to hear the issue seen from the players 😊 and, if could be interesting to understand, why the blacks aren't real black but more grays, I can imagine why. I don't know for sure, because I don't know precisely how the sims team work. But, usually there are some limits with the colors, we cannot do a pure black or we cannot go too much dark with the blacks, because in game will result as a black hole (for how the light bounce with that object), and it wouldn't be ok. And the result often is a dark gray or a gray, and also the colors change a lot, in different lighting, maybe in others world with different lighting will be more dark "more black" or more clear. 😊 I'm sorry if I made any mistakes in English.

Hot take: I don't get the obsession with cars 😮

I really want 24 hours unpaused challenge to come back. It was my favourite thing ever. I beg for at least 12 hours unpaused. It was so chaotic and so fun

This one reminds me of my grandparents house. After they passed and the house was sold building it in the Sims helped me still feel connected to them. So now whenever I'm feeling sad I can pop into the game to say hi. Today has been one of those days but watching this on my break from work made me smile as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Thanks for turning my day around Kayla!

i dont usually comment on things but I have an idea on how to make Simoleons fast (maybe with Stanley) Rummaging through decorations (the box from the seasons expansion) has a chance to drop items, and you can sell them. maybe see what season has the most profitable decorations as well (if you ever end up doing this) awesome video as always!

i really like how you used the more traditional crisscross windows on the ‘garage’ door (lol) i never thought of that and it looks so cute !!

Omg I was 2 mins in and realized this is the house I downloaded from your gallery and have been playing with for the last week or so 🥰🥰 LOVE this build!!! It’s so nice to play in!!! ❤️❤️

America really be out here charging parents with kids that could be dying

Lovely build Kayla! I appreciate you doing this because I’m too lazy to fill Newcrest myself tbh. You do give me inspiration to get better at building though! ❤

I agree SO MUCH with the grill! It literally makes my Sims bankrupt! I had a family when I first got Get Together (around November last year) and they moved into this really nice home on the Island part and it was so fun until their bbq caught on fire on LITERALLY THE FIRST DAY! After that, they all had a fear of fire yet they kept using it?? They kept using the bbq until their 8k something simoleans went down to 2k.... Another family of mine uses it constantly and they have had the same issue too, I've made them really nice food yet they'd rather grill something that won't fill them up like a whole roast would 😭

hey lilsimsie, can you pls do more midcentury houses? I love your content, greetings from costa rica

You are such an amazing person Kayla! I can't wait to see your streams! I'm so sorry your dad has cancer I can't imagine that. I'm so happy you're giving back and you're such a thoughtful and amazing person! We love you and you're so amazing! Have a great time in May! 💗

Thank you for making a new base game house, your starter home helped my little brother who is 9 years who first time played the sims 4 yesterday and he was surprisingly good at it i was expecting him to get stressed and he didn’t.

Another base game build! I love it when you make base game builds and make it accessible for everyone!

May is potentially my favorite month solely because of the simsie fundraiser month. Thank you for all you do for fundraising and using your platform for stuff like this!

have to really look thru my monthly budget to see how much i can afford to donate to st jude…. and how many infants i can afford to make kayla play with………

Looks like the mansion from Sims 1 trailer. Love it ❤ Greetings from Switzerland ❤

This style of home kind of reminds me of the "Home Alone" house. Ive always wanted a house like this IRL. Great Build as usual. ❤

My dad was diagnosed w multiple mylomea in January and these Sims vids, esp the Newcrest builds, has been a great distraction. I'm glad you're so enthusiastic to help kids who're suffering.

That ain’t a mansion 💀💀😭😭

Summized at the end 🚨Idea 🚨 do not ask how i have come to this idea anyways, IDEA : Each lot / world is a different pack/packs . CONS: 1. It will take long 2. You might need to pair packs like Expansion, Stuff/kit , and a Game pack For example : Get together, landry day, and parenthood. Would be for one lot 3. For worlds you would have to take in to consideration that you might need a resturant not only in one world yk 4. You would have to delete all of the lots in the worlds and sometimes give back story for each lot for the fun of it. PROS: 1. It will help you use other packs 2. It can be paired with other challenges 3. It doesnt have to be posted at the same time for its just lilsimsies building with 3 packs so lets say every thrusday she does one of theses videos . Little add on : Also it would be fun to see what people will suggest for the next week anyways just a thought. TOO LONG DIDNT READ ? Here - Pick about 3-4 packs and build a lot or world only using those packs for world like 1-2 for each type of pack.

Ty for doing this I have xbox one and all expansion packs a money and you can't have mods ❤❤❤

i see that base game magenta in my nightmares

I thought ur dad was cancer free, i am so sorry i hope he gets well

I bet this’ll be perfect for the family i just made!

Theses are some of the cutest bedrooms she's ever done!

I used the shell of this build for the red gen of my NSB, I'm obsessed with this house

I feel like every house she builds look the exact same.

I'm finding your videos a little fast. I wonder if you can slow your speed build playback down? If I'm the only one with this problem, no big deal. Just thought I don't mind watching a 5-10 minutes longer video if it means less spinning around at high speeds.

OMG I love this house! Its perfect! A gift from Simsie to all of us who dont own all the packs 😢 ❤

I've seen a lot of your builds but when you call a build a "mansion", babe they're not. that's just a big house, I don't think you know what a mansion is

Bro, my sim got married to don lothario and he was actually a great husband. LIKE WHAT- Edit: He cheated with Dina. One more Edit: I cheated on him with Dina. PS: It was the day of our wedding.

So I have a challenge for all you sim builders. You are amazing, so here you go. Start with the terrain panet and get all the terrain Panet done. You can change and adjust as long as you are working on that when you are done, you can not go back and adjust anything you are done. Next, do all the landscaping agen you can change, move, and adjust as you are in the landscaping and agen when you are done and move on. You can not go back or move any of your plants. Next is the shell. The same goes. adjust, finish move on, don't go back or change. Next floor, wallpaper doors and windows inside and out. Next, furnish inside and out. Then decorate, and if you need extra plants outside at this point, the potted plants are in the decor, so use it, lol. Idk if any of you will even see or read this, but you are amazing builders, and this may be fun to try.

I like how simsie calls this a mansion meanwhile I'm current;y building my "modest family home" that completely fills up a 64x64 lot and costs $300,000

I stopped putting grills bc my sims would choose to grill in a thunderstorm or blizzard… even when there’s two full kitchens in the house 😅 and then they’d leave the food outside… and every other sim would risk their life to get a burger…

which one has screen/mesh wall? cuz if im buying anything thats what I need haha, a screened in half wrap-around porch ❤

How can i search your buildings limsimsie?? I am sorry if it is a dumb question but i cant find your buildings :(

Kayla, How about base game +1 pack so like base+ seasons, or base and get to work... Loads of video options lol

I made a similar build for my gen 2 sim in the notsoberry. 😂❤❤

The other day I had my sim with the dream decorator career and I had to renovate a room in this house😧

This is truly one of the best big builds that is both playable on small computers, base game and really inviting for your own adjustments. Very tasteful and inclusive I'd say!

Simsie should do a video where she tries to build a house in roblox bloxburg!

thank you for posting. not had the best day. really needed your a video of yours rn

knowing that even lilsimsie's mom knows about the infant update is so funny to me, i could never talk about this stuff to my mom 😭

I think we should’ve got the red heart hot tub from sims 1.

Realizing from this video that i am the same age as kayla's younger sister is not what i expected today. like i always think of me and kayla as the same age and her sister as so much younger, so it's really funny to learn that we're both HS seniors rn.

I’m legit building a house just like this for my scene shop class 😂 (my professor let me build virtually instead of irl) Same lot, the brick, the dormers, the fence the pool 😂 Good minds think alike I guess 🥰❤️

Hope your day is as amazing as you!

I noticed when I had a grill not only did they grill constantly but also made herbalism potions constantly

Okay so as I was exploring build mode just now I came across an ACTUAL garage door and my mind is blown - when did we get this??? It came with the City Living expansion pack apparently and can be used to practice graffiti on. Surely I can’t be the only one that missed this? 😅 (Also I’m new here please don’t judge ☺️)

I wasn't frustrated about the hot tub becoming base game, I don't care about petty crap like that, but having that be the ONLY thing given after 20 years still makes me angry. I know I've spent A LOT of money on this franchise since 2000, and continue to, they messed up with that lame excuse for a 20th anniversary.

Fam, nothing in ts4 is chaotic 😂😭. The fekkers should've made one of the OG items from the first one😤😭. TS1 (and 2) is what you can truly call ✨chaotic ✨👌. Rip.

There are funtional vehicle mods out there, like cars, mcs, segways. So, yes I AM interested in how you build YOUR garage, simsie. Too bad there is no functional garage doors, only for painting and graffiti paintings.

About the grills... I once befriended the Hermit from Outdoor Retreat and she glitched I think? Every time she would randomly visit my house she would get stuck making mood potions until she passed out. And my sim couldn't get rid of the potions because they didn't "belong" to her.

YESS!!! MANSION ohhh no oh wait! Im not gonna watch the video now because I want to watch the live that u did on twich, on RU-vid first that watch the vid lol, sorry VERY confusing to read...

For stopping autonomous grilling MC Command Centre is your friend. It's also good to say goofball Sims constantly breaking toilets with "pranks" if you have University installed.

Love your sims videos❤❤❤

I so sorry!!! I bumped the wrong button! I was trying to like your video and dropped my phone at the same time I was pressing it so I hit the dislike button on accident! I fixed it though so if you get a dislike notification; I didn't mean it!!!! Please disregard it!

I’m all for childhood disease research but St Jude puts 50% of charitable donations towards administrative and marketing fees and not towards research :( it feels yucky to me

last year i rented an airbnb and it turned out to be the funniest experience because the apartment was literally furnished like an early sims4 house with four different types of wallpaper in one room -- none of them matching. there were wall decals on top of the fridge?? and stick-on wallpaper on the inside of some cupboards. and the furniture had that bright magenta/pink colour and there were stock photos of bright red roses on the walls. its like randomizing a sim but its a whole apartment

I’m having total déjà vu watching this video. You made a really similar house in the same plot like a year or something ago and I just was confused because i thought I was rewatching a video of yours

I just watched a video by Gigi's Neck of the woods and god it damaged my brain cells. basically she was hating on you for literally no single explainable reason. How can people hate on someone who literally never harms someone in any way i dont understand

Ok hear me out….. make your own townies for the houses you build using only base game and make them work at different places you’ve built- I’m so sorry-

I just played the sims for the first time yesterday and I downloaded this house from the gallary! I didnt expect to see you bulding it the next day! I've been watching people play the sims for so long it's sorta surreal to actually play it

My grandma used to donate to St. Jude every year we still have these ornaments they sent her for donating she was an amazing woman and did so much to help others! She unfortunately passed away 14 years ago from cancer but she had such an impact on so many people’s lives!

This house is giving me Pleasant Family from The Sims 2 vibes. I just need to change one of the upstairs bedrooms to fit Lilith and it's perfect.

loool when toddlers came out the same thing that happened with your sister happened to me. i had triplets and when they aged up i was SHOOOOK! they got taken away cause i didnt know how to take care of them 😭😭😭

Nice mansion, Kayla. I would suggest that the extra bedroom could be given to the butler. Since you made a mansion.

I lost my dad in December to cancer, I'd never wish that on anyone or their family. Keeping you and your dad in my thoughts ❤️

Omg that happed to me with the infants. I didn’t know they were also in base game and then I aged up my baby and I was so confused and then I was jumping up and down after I was so excited 😅

It took me until simsie hopped into the tour to realize I downloaded this in one of my main save and have literally been playing in it for a while lol 😂 Great House, Would Recommend

with the couches in base game I just kinda wish they would take the plastic-ish one you like and add that really nice texture that for some reason only the turquoise and orangish swatches have

I counted 11 first comments

There is no point of building a base game mansion when the gameplay lacks a lot in base game there is no motivation for base game players to even achieve this beautifully built mansion anyway love your videos

The dark spot at the top of the stairs is just the obligatory mansion ghost. Just pondering where they were before being pushed to their death, don't worry about it Simsie.

Imo the problem with grills isn't my sim autonomously grilling food, but random visitors littering the lot with those destressing potions.

my infant update history: i KNEW ab it, forgor, created new family + infant and i missed it? like i didnt pay attention that i made an infant?

I recently started playing again having not played since 2020 and I was shocked the first time my sim had a baby and it aged up into an infant 😅

Kayla do you think you could do a can you get rich quick being a wizard where you sell potions for money
