i built a house using *only* the new riviera retreat kit 

Who else watches simsie to relax before falling asleep 😮😉😴

A lot of times these videos don't necessarily highlight the shortcomings of the build kit but of the base game 😭 like the swatch situation? DIRE

The void downstairs should have been a little hallway so you could easily get from the kitchen to the dining room. It would have made so much sense.

I think the backgarden would be beautiful with romantic garden pack, this pergola is such a nice fit for it

okay but the pergola garden 😍😍😍 pretty garden is an understatement, Kayla, it's soooo cute

Simsie didn't notice that she used the small curtains from the cozy bistro kit 😅

The backyard has big bachelor party/honeymoon energy! I'm not even a pool guy, but I'd stay there on vacation with friends if I could

I'd like to see her use this kit with other packs or kits to see what she thinks goes together well, could be helpful for people to see what matches

seeing the tile that was so clearly meant for the inside of the pool being used anywhere but is slightly painful, but i love simsie anyway lmao

A fancy house using this kit and using the book nook kit to have a huge library with a fireplace would be SO elegant.. mayhaps a maze garden too lmao

I love this house! I cant wait to reno it a bit to be a nice vacation party house instead of a family home, i think its really well suited for that!

That back yard is GORGEOUS!!! ⭐️🙌🏽😍

I think that tiles are supposed to be used in the pool. (I mean wallpaper and floor tile) But either way awesome build! 😎👍

With the pool rock wall, Kayla, I would personally stack them in a mound form, by raising them and alt placing, make just a big hill of rock that are scattered all over, and than size down ground cover, and tuck them in the crevices of the rocks! 😊❤ LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!

did- did the terrain paint stayed??? until the end of the video?? miracles happen, hu?

4:19 “this one’s not that bad.” simsie, its the exact same.

This build legitimately looks like you visited my grandma Ida’s house back in the 90s. It was quite cozy in my memory to watch this build.

I found it a bit odd that they made the half curtains but have them slotted to go to the top of windows. This pack is obviously Euro centric, and through most of Europe the half curtains have the half curtains touch the windowsill, so the top half of the window is bare but the bottom half has the curtain. This makes perfect sense if you think about it: lets the sun shine in, but gives the people in the home/cafe/restaurant some privacy. Especially if you're in a cafe near a window and have customers directly outside the window. I love half curtains for these reasons (it helps that I lived in Europe for 11 years and experienced this myself, so using them here in the States no longer feels awkward). Of course we have half curtains set up like that here as well, but generally there's a top portion that's also part of the package, that gets tied or pulled back during the day and closed at night. But there's nothing that says cozy to me than having a half curtain at night with a view of the stars and a fire in the hearth.

happy pride month everyone!!

The pebble terrain paint under the new stepping stones makes them work really well.

You used curtains in the bathroom upstairs from Cozy Bistro too...

So glad you did this build!! Can't wait to download it! My best friend only has base game so I've built her some things with only base game and it's definitely different. I have so many packs so it get tough to not accidently use things she doesn't have 😅

Simsie! I love this new kit and built style, please revisit this vibe with unlimited packs/budget. I love your creativity :))

I would love to see a renovation of the Yuma Heights with this pack and the desert luxe 😍 Oasis Springs is my favourite world so I'm thriving with this new kit

I hate to say it but I like both kits 😢

Beautiful build though I'm kinda bummed you didn't use the new tile on the pool wall and floor

you should do a build with only the kits/packs that have been free, since a lot of people will have them!

While I appreciate the attempt, it should be: use new pack + most matching expansion/game pack, not base game. We only have antebellum style, some Mexican and a few excuses for modern style in the base game. It's okay and normal if those can not be applied to everything else

i went to pride today and was feeling really overstimulated so now i’m going to wind down with simsie 🥰

I think they are going to make a new world with the expansion pack and be like a Italian Villa (similar to the Monte Vista in sims 3) because they hinted something to do sith live and dates and wine and etc... And the kit act like a complement to the place. Maybe hotels resorts where people can travel and honeymoon

this build reminds me so much of call me by your name

YAYY!! simsie uploaded

Riviera and bistro kits?? Expansion pack all about love?? Paris is widely known as the city of love??? Yeah the world is gonna be based on Paris

Love your unique style, never change!

This in Tartosa would be stunninggg

as someone who used to not have a lot of packs, one of my fav things abt kayla is that she does a lot of limited pack builds, whether to challenge herself or simply for ppl who have that pack! i totally understand the struggle of having a few obscure packs, and it was tough bc i’d see my favorite creators make builds with like 30 different packs that i didn’t have 😭😭 anyways this is all just to say that i love u kayla!! ur videos make my day

Didn't she use curtains of the bistro kit?

I love when the sims releases new dlc because it means new simsie build videos ♥️

5:40 the clippings with the extra rocks actually made it look like moss and I think it looks so cool. If I didn't know, I wouldn't guess there were objects on top of each other.

Was wondering, what is everyone’s best kit used to furnish an entire house? Like what’s the kit that works the best with base game that you could create an entire house in that style with??

You definitely deserve more recognition for this!

Hi, could you do a similar build but with a few more packs? For example wedding story’s and more packs that match the style. Have a nice day! Bye

I'm obsessed with the backyard. It actually makes me want to buy this kit.

This whole place gives me early 2000s flashbacks to when everybody wanted a beige home with Tuscany décor, that includes but not limited to décor that mentions drinking wine.

Am I the only person who thought that this pack came with tiled flooring and wallpaper bc you’re meant to put them in the pool to make it more fancy? (Edit: also! You can use different colors of wallpapers and tiles that kinda ‘change’ the color of the water! Like different colors look different with the blue, so it can appear that the water is a different color! ) ((that was a really bad explanation, I hope that you get it lol))

hi kayla, had to face my abusive ex today and im seeking comfort in your videos, this new one has helped distract me a lot, thanks :)

I was waiting for someone to do a build with the riviera retreat kit

I think this would mesh really well with wedding stories, spa day, or both. Now I want to get it and build a spa in Tartosa. 😅 It would be so cute for a bach party or honeymoon.

the more you added the more i wished i could stay in this house on a nice vacation…. beautiful build!

Girl this came out so good!!!

The backyard is stunning. I feel like the house would be gorgeous furnished using the Modern Luxe kit.

I'm obsessed ! This is quite different from your usual style & it looks great !!

The new kits are really cool 🔥🔥

Really love the garden of this build!

Did anyone else notice that she used the curtains from the new bistro kit accidently? I think she thought they were from THIS kit

this is definitely one of my favourite builds of yours!! the colour scheme and the garden are sooo pretty and remind me of my grandparent's house in spain

Yay! I like the look of this kit

2:40 thats how i feel evryday simsie everyday

i think this pack would go great with spa day to create a spa with an outdoor pool for relaxing. maybe even a community lot that has a fancy gym with a spa and outdoor pool.

Ohhh I'm gonna download this house and renovate it to be a spa 😍 the outside looks stunning. Never thought I'd love a kit as much as I love this one but it's perfect 🥰

Ur videos r so comforting when im feeling down everything about ur videos is positive and i know i can always rely on it, thank youu :,)

Where my people at who saw this live and who saw 600k being reached?!?🥳

I'm sure this kit works really great in Tortosa

OMG, Kayla, the outdoor space is just GORGEOUS, as always :-) I LOVE the pool area and especially the secret garden - such a great idea. I admire how you can work out any style, whatever the kit or pack contains - you find a way how to use it. Riviera Retreat is not one of the worst, ofc, but you made even the Party thing work :D Well done. Love watching your vids.

I would love to see a similar build with no pack restrictions! Such a beautiful style.

I feel like this kit could be pretty versatile like you could go modern, mediterranean, or like castle vibess

i wish this was all packs like yesterday's video, but the outside of the house turned out perfect! i feel like you get more inspired when it's all packs, yesterday's build is one of my favorites of all time.

The secret garden landscaping is so beautiful 😍

A mediterranean style house with this kit would be incredible I’m manifesting it so hard🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

this is so pretty!

the house looks so good! keep up the videos simsie!!❤

The backyard is one of my favourites that you've done! It's so good!!

the pergola thingy is so pretty 😍gorgelicious build as always!

Love the backyard!!

such a pretty house !!!

My grandma has a house with a working fireplace and her TV is above the fireplace.

Love this build, wish you used the new tile in the pool

Simsie: "Using *only* the new riviera retreat kit" Also Simsie: *Uses Cozy Bistro curtains in almost every room*

This is a beautiful build !!

I grew up with the TV above the fireplace, so I find it perfectly normal.

I always plan to watch one of these before sleeping but then get too into it and i end up watching like 6 videos

The landscaping is gorgeous 🥰

AUGH. This house is tempting me to get the kit so bad,,, I'm in love with this build. I didn't think it would be my style but now I'm convinced.

Congrats on the fundraising this year! Just saw the final total and you should be proud! 🎉❤🎉❤

it looks SOOOO good, kayla is incredible at building anything

This house turned out so beautiful 😍

this house is BEAUTIFUL omg

Omg love it!

I think this is GORGEOUS!! Thank you, Kayla:)

Leave it so *LILSIMSIE* to put an oversized dining room in the entryway! LOL

this is sooo prettyyy 💟💟

lilsimsie tries not to have a winding path in the garden **IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE**

The garden area is so beautiful

Just halfway through the video and that iron gazebo is insane I’m in love with that and we needed window that match the ornate ironwork

I love it!

This has got to be my favorite landscaping she’s ever done.

Love this 😍

Now I Would Love To See A Remake Of This House WITH Packs!!!

please make a bridgerton inspired build !!!!

Love this video lilsimsie.
