i built a giant hotel in the sims 4 

i believe kayla when she says she doesn't get told any secrets by the sims team. instead, i believe that the sims team only listens to feedback when it's in a powerpoint format

I think this might be the one of, if not THE longest speed build Kayla’s ever done and I’m here for every second of it

I wish she could do a huge waterpark one day. Multiple pools and saunas. It will be so cool

This looks *exactly* like a lodge we would stay at during winter breaks when I was a kid. I live in Norway, so staying in the mountains for a weekend ski trip is really common during colder seasons, and the similarity is almost uncanny lol.

I am a professional commercial interior designer and did a ski resort in Park city Utah. I am extremely impressed by your talent.

I would love an update on the sewer cats 😻 And I'm really sorry that your family cat is going through that :( Wishing all the best, as always ❤

i love when kayla goes out of her comfort zone!! watching her build community lots or builds with no limitations is always fun, she's really talented!

... I could never in my entire life build it

34:10 looking at the sculpture there in the middle gave me a building idea!! You could try building like a sort of camp styled building for like scouts or something maybe multiple cabins and such!!

This is simsie attempting to manifest the hotel pack she pitched to RU-vid 😂

I lowkey wannna "revonate" this into a student accommodation and just have it be the most fancy student house *EVER, the parties in this place would be **_insane_*

Just watch, the next big expansion pack will be hotel themed. You've been manifesting it for a while

I wake up with baaaaaad anxiety, and I watch these to calm down. This longer video is perfect for today.

Totally down for a kitty video! Snap will come around - it’s so good you kept 2 of the babies so they can mess around and play with each other and Snap can do her own thing and interact with them at her leisure (for the most part lol) 💜

I've never been inside a big winter lodge like this but being from Colorado you can see big lodge manors from the interstate and highways and stuff and this looks sooooo much like those! I'm seriously amazed at how well simsie was able to pull them off!

Kayla your patience to build stuff in the Sims is out of this world. I can barely finish a starter for my one sim so I just give him 0 simoleons and I go with the flow of making him suffer to get a fridge.

1. This build is incredible!! 🤩 2. I’m so sorry about your childhood cat 😢 3. A sewer kitty update video would be awesome 🐈‍⬛

anyone who is interested in modding to get a hotel-like experience: I HIGHLY recommend littlemssam's auto employee mod that will auto generate spa employees, bartenders, vendors, etc. That way you don't have to classify your lot type to get certain employees. It is one of my must have mods in general!

Now imagine the Sims team releasing a hotel pack just to mess with her....👁️👄👁️

I can’t wait for the “For Rent” pack to come out and this hotel finally going to be functional!

Watching these streams were so fun

19:18 this perfectly describes why I love watching/listening to your videos

this isnt the biggest thing to take from this video, but I'm so happy you are slowly introducing your cats to each other. I feel like everyone I hear from just tosses cats together as if that isn't a completely messed up way to do it. Thank you for taking your time with the process. Loved the build!!

Yessss, I've been waiting for this since she mentioned it! Edit~ And update video on Sewer cats would be awesome.

I love when she goes off and uses any and all packs without limitations. Yeah I get some people won’t be able to download it but I LOVE seeing simsie’s build style without her trying to use a budget or a limit of packs. This resort is amazing!!!

I have frequently put pools in the basements of my Sims' houses. But one of the problems with doing that is that you can't use them in the winter! One of the biggest reasons for wanting an indoor pool is to be able to swim in the winter. When you do that in the Sims, your Sims act like the basement pool is outdoors. I don't know how that would work in Komorebi, but in the other worlds, it doesn't work.

And now that the rent thing is coming out you can make this an actual hotel 😊

This build is gorgeous! Probably the most beautiful build I've seen from you since I started watching this channel.

omg I was so excited when you mentioned this build in your other video! I knew I was gonna like it💖

i actually love it when simsie uses all her packs making a built, it feels limitless and perfects the built i hope we can get more of it if everyone else also agrees. love this built by the way, can’t wait for the cruise! 🚢

You could totally use this as like a friends trip and they all have rooms and just pretend there’s other sims in unseen rooms😅❤

why did kayla’s explanation of how the lot works make me think of hotel california lmao

Let's appreciate that these 12 hours were cut to a speed build 🙏🏻🙌🏻 Thank you for this!!!

Yes!! I was hoping there would be a speed build!! 😊

This would be great for the new ‘for rent’ pack! It’d be the closest to a hotel you can get for now.

This build is just so cozy, I love it. I can't say I've ever been to a ski lodge, but I think you really nailed the rustic lodge vibes you were going for! It reminds me of all the cozy northwoods lodges I've stayed in or visited, and I mean that so fondly. Maybe I'll have to fill in my missing packs just so I can download this build!

BABE WAKE! Lilsimsie just dropped the speedbuild for the AMAZING snowy lodge

I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve heard you talk about this build, even mentioned it a few times about building it in your twitch streams. I’m excited that it’s finally up!

I'm from Sweden and all my life, every winter we go skiing and this looks really good and realistic. I've been following your channel for a few years now and I think that this is one of your best builds. I love when you don't limit yourself to only a few packs and just let your creativity flow!

Kayla celebrating every kinda big build she does like a massive accomplishment is kinda cute

I’m in the middle of reading Stephen King’s The Shining, and I’m obsessed with the idea of making this lot into a vacation rental and acting out the plot of The Shining with Sims. (For anyone unfamiliar, in The Shining, the family ends up in the hotel over the winter bc Jack got a job there to maintain the hotel on its off season. So, in the Sims you could easily pretend to do that using the vacation rental system.) It’s too bad I don’t have the Snowy Escapes pack.

for someone who knows nothing about skiing or ski resorts you absolutely nailed it it gives me the same vibes as the ski resort i come to each year with my family and i live on the other side of the world

As a Colorado girly, this build is spot on! The giant fireplace in the middle of the lounge surrounded by big couches is exactly the vibe of a Colorado ski resort and I loved it!

watching this from the future with the rental pack and it’s awesome that the hotel can be REAL! 😄

I lived as an onsite manager for a high end ski lodge and spa. You nailed this. 🎉

With the new for rent pack you might be able to make this into a "hotel" that your sims stay in long-term! Like, move here for a couple seasons as a "vacation". But, if we're lucky, there might be a way to make multi-family-homes into vacation lots. It's super unlikely that they'd let us do that, but we can hope! And, if all else fails, someone will try make a mod lmao

can’t wait for the cruise ship video + i’d love the sewer cat update !

Kayla in her big build era let's go! This is such a gorgeous build! The addition of the ceiling paint also made this build cosier than it has any right to be. I would love to visit this IRL.

Am I the only one crashing when I try to play the video?

Please don't be sorry for using lots of packs. You are so talented and it's nice to see you just branch out and use whatever pack fits with what you're building. Even though i might not have fitness stuff pack and/or other packs used, i am still downloading this, because i really need more community lots in my legacy save. So thank you for this beautiful build! I also love your videos, keep up the good work! :D

this is gorgeous! what a cool build! i feel like Kayla really went out of her comfort zone and had fun doing it! also very much looking forward to the cruise ship build. glad to hear sewer cats are doing well, sorry to hear about your childhood cat (you'll just have to visit him, sorry!) also, this is just me, but i'm never worried about simmers using as many packs as they want in a speed build video. i build, and i typically use speed builds for inspirational purposes. like, "ah, wow, what a cool style, i bet i can make something KINDA like that!" and if this build makes me want outdoor retreat a little more, that's okay! i'll probably get it eventually lol

Literally listening to this right now while working from home packing my etsy orders. Your content is so nice to listen to! It does make me feel less alone

I love it when you do tours of your build on floor level view! And please do a cat update this week!

I can honestly say that Kayla and Deligracy are main reason I have so many packs. Bc I see them use items or upload builds to the gallery and I want them complete so I wait till I can buy the pack. And now I work so much I barely have any time to actually play so I get my Sims fix by watching videos of other people play. Lol.

Listening to this video as a bit of background while I’m playing the sims when Kayla says she does the same thing make me chuckle

kayla, I think this is one of your best builds yet! I watched this back when it first came out, but I finally bought snowy escape, and now I can place it

i'm seriously so impressed by this build. the creativity this takes is IMMENSE. awesome work simsie!

Omg the twitch streams/RU-vid videos making Kayla feel less lonely is the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard in my life 😂. Whenever I am cleaning the house or even doing art I ALWAYS watch streams or RU-vid videos!! It makes me feel less lonely too!!

My twim sims will not stop making tea! They gotta have it after every little activity lol

I grew up in a skii resort town. I think you actually pulled up the one from my home. The skii resort where I lived had a waterpark, spa, cafe, bar, library, gift shop, hotel (duh), gym. Skii rental (duh), huge conference rooms, a huge venue areas for weddings, and behind it there was a mini village with more bars, an old style candy shop, clothing shops, and others I never actually went into. There was also a restaurant on the top of the mountain. I went to the spa once because my mom was given tickets to it as a gift for being a generally kind and helpful person. The pool was so cool! It was a year round heated pool that was split in half by a wall, but the wall did not go into the pool, so you could swim under the wall and go outside. So yeah. Just so you know what I know about. I got further into the video. There are plenty of hotels with twins. Ours does have rooms with twins, single it was a family friendly resort, so the tins are for kids.

The only thing I miss in this build is a changing room where you can store ski´s. In hotels like this you store your shoes and ski´s usually in a common, heated room so the material can dry when you are not using it.

This build/video feels so nostalgic for me. Kayla bringing up Lifesimmer and the overall style of the build reminds me of The Sims 3 speed builds I used to watch and love for years before The Sims 4 eventually came out and I got it. The Sims 4 was my first Sims game on pc (I played The Sims FreePlay before any other Sims game which is admittedly an odd start to the Sims franchise) but The Sims 3 videos I used to watch and obsess over will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ Such good vibes in this build, I love it!

This build is so powerful RU-vid refuses to play it for me 😭 Update: 17 hours later and it appears RU-vid has recovered and granted me access to this masterpiece

I’ve got family that used to come here for vacation and when I was younger, they’d have me stay with them at the different Disney resorts and omg. The Wilderness Lodge was a DREAM. Entering the lobby was so insane, I’d felt like I’d teleported out of Florida and into the mountains. I didn’t want to leave. Obviously, since I live here, I haven’t ever been back, but I would if I could. It’s definitely my favorite out of all the resorts.

this build brought me a lot of joy to watch because my dad played the first ever sims game before i was born and one of the things he always tells me he did was build disney’s wilderness lodge after my parents honeymooned there!! i was even thinking your build reminded me of it so when you said it i nearly screamed. he had a blast building it and then eventually he passed the games down to me where i’m now 22 watching simsie build a wilderness lodge inspired hotel 4 games later. it reminded me that the sims really is such a timeless game series. thanks for sharing the joy to us with your builds, kayla! :)

The way I was also building a hotel when this popped up in my feed... we BETTER be getting hotels pack 😩

Gosh you are so talented, this build is amazing. Let hope this manifests an official pack!

One of my favorite speed builds you’ve done! Absolutely beautiful!

Kayla rly outdid herself on this one!!! it looks PERFECT 🤩 you could genuinely convince someone that it's a real place!!!!

FINALLY, you show us a building with a first-person cam

You were so real about listening to twitch streams while doing other stuff. i’m a history student and when i have to write final essays your streams are my go to

This is SO COOL AND GOOD!!!!!! I love the Colorado ski lodge vibes and it’s everything I could ask for and more!! Literally you’re so talented! Blown away that you can make this in the Sims!

Sorry to hear about your family cat. I unfortunately know that feeling. Hang in there. Also, breathe Snap. It will be okay. Kitten update is always welcome. Oh yeah, and this build is awesome!

lifesimmer reference made me tear up 😭 the generations let’s play lives in my heart. i have this vivid memory of when her sims had a sleepover but some slept in the garage & almost froze

Kayla, you are awesome! Seriously, how do you do all this? I mean, if I tried to do this, I'd have to stay up all night for about ten years and still not be able to create anything half as good as this! Kayla, you are insane! I don't know how you make so many awesome videos, one build would be enough for me... I'm speechless... Keep up the good work, Kayla! You are the best!

Living in a ski area with countless resorts i gotta say you did an amazing job! Only thing that bugged me was that you didn’t add a balcony near the saunas as that is a must have in those hotels ( to cool down after sauna). The whine cellar was a good idea as well as most places i know have them too. Good job

YESSS I couldnt wait to see the build!!

SEWER CATS UPDATE!! Also I love the building, it looks really cozy, would love to go to spend a couple of days in the mountains on winter in a resort like this☺️

21:35 The daycare stuff!! I was also so obsessed lifesimmer (og generations letsplay!!!!!) I was so excited when you mentioned her lmao

As someone with a professional background in hospitality, I can just compliment how authentic it is.❤ And who doesn't wanna have all the packs, please? 😅 I really love this build and would even in real life give it a try❣️

I know this sounds like a dramatic thing to say about a sims build, but Kayla this is a masterpiece. I hope you are proud!! I loved hearing you brag about this build a little bit in this video. Can't wait to see you play with it!

This is by far the most beautiful build you have ever built! I’m obsessed 😍 beautiful job Kayla!!

omg lifesimmer!! she was my absolute FAV back in the sims 3 days. i’ve never heard anyone else talk about her

the first few hours you were building this i would drop in the streams and it felt like every time i came back there was another floor

Simsie, this is amazing! I know you want your viewers to be able to download your builds, but its awesome to see you go all out and do everything in your power to make a pretty/amazing build, i wish to see more of your skills snd creative ideas ❤❤❤

Pls the daycare store content was one of my dreamed “packs” and the one with hot springs!!! It feels so nice that I wasn’t the only kid who was jealous of the sims3 RU-vidrs❤️

2x2 room, add the elevator, copy the room with the elevator. Worked for me when I built a fake apartment building. Sometimes adding an additional elevator kind of glitches the game and you can't save but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes exiting the lot with the elevators and saving works but sometimes it doesn't. That was several updates ago though so dunno if it works now or not but I still have the elevators there and it's a functional lot. The elevators are obviously only decoration though

I was really hoping you would post this amazing build on here, I watched part of it on twitch and it turned out sooo gooooood! This is truly a masterpiece.

the one thing i always remember from ski lodges is that they always have some big, kinda cafeteria looking communal area right off the slopes. its not super nice and pretty like the rest of the lodge because its just meant to be this place where skiers and snowboarders can come in for a minute and have a place to sit, maybe grab a bite to eat or nurse any injuries they got, and then head back out. it was always funny to me how that one room would just be dingy gray carpet, plastic and metal tables and chairs, everything has random wet spots from melted snow, and often huge windows looking out onto the slopes so you can see everyone coming and going. those rooms were always packed with people and were the most fun places to be besides out on the mountain lol

May sound bad but you help me sleep at night. I love watching your videos during daytime, but I go to uni and struggle to sleep cause anxiety, your voice is so soothing and gentle

I've spent some time studying interior design and there is a huge debate about whether to place TV at the same wall as the fireplace. Lots of people are against it, as fireplace is a center object on its own and its purpose is to watch fire, relax, read and just be in the moment and slow down. But some are ok with it :)

I don’t care so much if creators use packs I don’t have. I mean, would be nice to have them too, but I’ve learned to renovate their buildings and it is also really fun. Anyone else do this?

Reminds me of Great Wolf Lodge. Love it! I can't wait to download it!

When you talked about elevators it reminded me of the Red Bar Hotel DrGluon made for his original Hotel Challenge. In all his creative cleverness he made a hilarious “elevator” that was just a 4 floor empty shaft with no floors or ceilings and a giant ladder from top to bottom 😂 the elevator was out of order but don’t worry there’s a ladder for your convenience. That original hotel challenge was one of my favorite sims series I’ve ever seen

I love the build - dont apologize for using a lot of packs - i like when you limit the packs BUT I LOOVE when you go all out and build just what you want it to look like without ANY limitations 🤗

Kayla, I really enjoy the video! I live in Switzerland and the next building like this is maybee... hmmm ...less than 10 minutes away from where I live. You're so talented. I'm so sorry for the bad cat news. I'm a catperson too. Sooo... i would love to hear more about your kittensituation. Best wishes from Switzerland!❤

for someone who’s never stepped into a ski resort this looks absolutely amazing!!!

*How To Make a Fake Elevator in the Sims* 1. make a 4x4 on each floor you want the elevator (4x4 rooms must be directly on top of eachother) 2. place ladders inside the room so sims can go up and down the elevator 3. decorate elevator, make elevator doors and decorate the inside 4. your elevator should look like: 4x4 room with a door and ladders inside, decorated to look like elevator

I am loving Simsie’s big build era! Blue suburban who?? Go gal!

This is honestly one of the best builds ive ever seen aesthetically and for gameplay
