I made grandma's dream house in The Sims 4 

Kayla's two moods are: "Ah I hate this game" and "I love this game, this is the best day of my life!"

The new camera feels fresh even tho it's just a video 😂

"I'm all about realism, until it inconveniences me" Girl, you just summed up my life philosophy LOL

me: “oh that’s such a pretty s-“ kayla: “THATS SUCH A TERRIBLE SWATCH WHOS IDEA WAS THIS WHO WOULD USE THIS?!”

Lilsimsie protecc, she attacc. But most importantly, *she wasn’t being paid, EA sent her this pacc*

Make A Sims Build, BUT, You Can Only Use Items If Their Name Starts With A Certain Letter

“i wish the house was like 1 tile bigger” - she does realise that she has control over how big the house is right? 😂

while you're cornering a sim guru and finding out how they choose swatches make sure to ask the rules on their builds so u can make ur challenge renos easier

Nifty Knitting? What’s that? I only know of Luv 2 Knit...

as someone with a very high level of anxiety, i always notice a lot of speech patterns and behaviors in kayla's videos that i do all the time as well. it breaks my heart that she is going through the same kind of paranoid thought processes that i do :'( anxiety is such a terrible thing. i hope she knows how much her videos comfort people. whenever i am really stressed i put a random video of hers on and it makes me feel so much better

simise if you ever need a break, just say “my brain hurts, i need a break, i’ll be back soon” we will understand

Kayla: I'm never going to use this swatch, or this or this or this- Me, who mostly has reclaimed furniture that doesn't match at all and a cottage-core aesthetic: 😬😭🥺

We all care about you so much LilSimsie. Take all the time you need, I understand how bad anxiety can get. We love you and will be here for you when you get back. 💕

Kayla I just wanna say don’t feel pressure to stream. I’m a regular and I can tell you need a break don’t feel bad about taking one earlier much love ❤️

“I just have anxiety, and a lot of it, so I’m going to build in the Sims” -Kayla 2020

That first inspo pic was actually my inspiration for a cottage I made in the sims. Also, is there anyone else here who adores this channel, but who also like, loves brightly colored furniture and occults? Kayla is such a talented builder and so soothing to listen too but I am called out so often lmao! Anyway Kayla, great build as always.

Last time i was this early the thumbnail was her wearing a hotdog costume

I'm a crafter and I love the swatches but I can understand from a building point of view they don't match the existing furniture well. Love your videos Kayla xo

I just told my sister that Nifty Knitting is out and she said "Oh, Taylor Swift's new album? I didn't like it". I just stared at her and she just went "that is Taylor's album, right? ya know like Cardigan?"

My mum is Ike,,, the definition of a “Plant Mom” and when I sowed her the hanging plants she immediately bought me the game and this pack so we could play.... we have to stan her lmao In my family it’s mostly my maternal aunt that knits but I adore the “grandma who knits” aesthetic

I moved in with my grandma two years ago and yes she did have literally those exact same appliances and counter tops. We finally just got a new stove because it basically broke

She put an octopus in every single one of her builds and hide it so we have to find it

I’m definitely going to use the eccentric swatches of furniture, but probably not the wood or black ones!

Kayak: These colors are simply not practical Me, who wants pastel colors in every circumstance and every opportunity: :O

Just wanted to let you know that there’s a huge community behind you that supports and loves you we got your back❤️

Kayla is me trying to cope with my mental health: sims

Kayak in a nutshell: “Everything is fiiinee” “I’m really disappointed right now” “Honestly, I like that” “THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER I LOVE THE SIMS 4” “I hate this game” “Ok where should I put the living room” “I really and truly-” “Ok that looks weird” “LIKE WHAT IS THIS ITEM!?” “I’m really exited right now” “I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING” “So, my boyfriend-“ “I’m making this house just to use this” “Wait, that actually looks kind of good!” “I WANT TOUSE THIS ITEM BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT!!!1!1!” “I’m so jealous of this, I WANT this, why can’t I HAVE THIS??!!!” “who’s idea was that??” “LOOK AT THE LITTLE TURTLE!!” “I like this vibe” ”I’m not being paid, ea sent me this pack” S A V E N O T M O D “I came into this so confident” ”DON’T👏TOUCH👏MY👏WALLS👏” “I hate it...let’s keep it”

I just LOVE these swatches, I don’t care that much about knitting but the furniture is almost convincing me to buy this pack.

i’m early, don’t worry simsie we are here for you like your cow plants 🌱 are 😁😁😁

Now you can build a Cracker Barrel and put a row of rocking chairs outside.

I found Lilsimsie’s account when she had 100k and now she is almost at 1 mil. Why am I so proud of her when I haven’t even met her

I like the colorful swatches. I view Sims houses as kind of like dollhouses, so I always prefer whimsical designs over something you’d buy at ikea irl

Kayla: I want to build in the sims so i can relieve my anxiety! *also Kayla:this is not how i wanted it to go, my dreams are crushed*

who else thought simsie built her grandma's dream house?

Hot take: I actually love the strangerville windows. I just hate that every single door is a medium height. WHY? Also, they could so easily have made the small door have an archway version by removing the door. The metal fence works PERFECTLY for a city house where it dips down to the unit underneath. I freaking LOVE the satellite dish and I use it everywhere. There are just bits and pieces of the pack that I use a lot.

Did you know that they added in the saucer light already sized down so it’s small and the amount of light is the same!

Okay so, I can imagine Kayla at the next sims camp that like, she’ll do what she said and like corner a sims guru and demand for the answer, but with like a bunch of other simmers, just for the truth.

Kaylas favorite quote: I didn't really think that through. Me, every day, every second. ❤️

Honestly I’m loving the colorful swatches. Sims has had wacky swatches from the beginning, and I could use more of it. But I do wish that they had some sort of organization with wood and color swatches, some kind of color bible to keep things consistent across packs and invite more cross-pack use.

I feel ya on the wood tones, but when I think of every grandma I've ever known -- their houses are like collected and don't match. So it makes it authentic, ya know?

Simsie! you're wonderful and anxiety sucks, i'm also going through it right now. I hope you start feeling better soon

It’s ok to talk about things Kayla

You should build a children's dream play house! Pretending it was one of those nice giant playhouses that the rich kids had in their backyards like the picture you had! That would be such a cool build to watch!

I'm so glad lilsimsie is making a grandma's house. I call it when the pack was announced.

“My dreams were crushed, but it’s fine” is honestly a mood. 👌🏻

Kayla: being on the Internet is difficult. Me: Kayla, being a human is difficult, and youre doing way better then Most of us

Kayla: I wish they used the wood tones that matched the basegame ones. Me: Which ones? Ea uses at least 2 new different wood swatches in every single object

Never feel silly for being excited about something you love, it's awesome to see someone be so happy playing a game they love!

No one: Not a soul: Not even Eliza: Kayla: **jamming to the ‘beat’ of picking up and putting down a chimney in a video game**

Not necessary to be so “matchy”, my own home has so many different wood tones and mixed painted furniture. I think it’s more realistic for me😬

U know we all love and support you. You don’t even need an excuse to step away. I honestly don’t care as long as you are taking care of yourself. I’m sure a lot of people will agree that your mental health is indescribably more important than our entertainment. I love you Kayla you helped us so much, and I hope we can help you too.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I always wait for the moment in every lilsimsie video when Kayla repeats part of a sentence (e.g. 10:21 in this video). It happens once in every video, I swear, and sometimes I wonder if it's edited that way on purpose to see if anyone comments about it. That's totally something she would do! Love ya, Kayak!

“Eww, that’s so bad. Alright we can keep that it’s great.” Lil Simsie 2020 (time stamp: 9:15)

Hey, we love you. Your mental health is super important and RU-vid creators get drained constantly! You're not an outlier. It's hard to constantly be in the spotlight with something you used to using as a free-time hobby. It's difficult. We care about your mental health more than we care about how often we see you on Twitch, RU-vid or even Twitter. Take breaks, take them often, take care of yourself.

I feel like it would be a good idea for EA to make item swatches that match the base game colours as well as crazy fun ones

These kind of swatches was what I expected though, when we voted for the furniture style back then

Plot twist : Lilsimsie's name is actually LilGrimsie...

Do A Challenge And If You Make A Mistake, You RESTART

Kayla: "my boyfriend doesn't even play Sims! " 2 weeks ago Kayla: "my bf is a better (Sims) builder than me"

I’m in love with the colours in the pack, maybe I’m just a granny at heart but I was so sad she didn’t like them 🥺

Seriously i love the bright colours 😂 Im a pastel fanatic

Kayla: eww, I'm using strangerville Also Kayla: complaining about swatches Kayla really loves complaining, but that's whats so great about her.

If they do generations, they should add attic ladders so sims can go up and find old mementos like prom photos and baby clothes. 📷🤱🧸

I love the colorful swatches haha they fit my vibe so much. I knit constantly so of course I love this pack, and I almost never use the white swatches in my builds

"I'm sure there's an answer, I just don't know what it is" is probably the most relatable sentence ever

My grandma has a 35 year old food processor, 100 year old dining table and a 2019 smart TV lol🤣

I unabashedly love the weird pastel swatches on the furniture (though I do agree about the weird wood tone). As someone who uses mostly build cc, I’d actually use the items in this pack, like, frequently

I am a huge fan of the pink, lavender, and mint swatches. I can’t wait to use them once I get the pack! I think they can add some nice variance with wood tone or white centric builds.

“I’m all about realism until it inconveniences me” the truest simmer statement ever 😂 also I was so shook that she hadn’t used a rocking chair yet for most of the video and then all the sudden ope she put 4 never mind 😂❤️

*simsie ranting about wacky color swatches* me: she's right and she should say it

I love a lot of the swatches on the new items. My builds are always very colorful. I doubt I'm ever going to have a sim knit much though. I knit a lot myself, usually while playing the sims. You know just get all the sims set on tasks and just knit while they master the fishing skill or logic.

personally i REALLY love the pastel swatches, i think the game has been lacking that for a long time because i like to experiment with different build styles and when i try to build something pastel, it's usually very hard. those grey and dark red swatches though? would have been better with one or two good wood tones. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Kayla: Eww that's so bad, alright we can keep that, that's great Me: What?

Kayla *picks yellow curtains* Also Kayla: eww that’s so bad, okay we can keep it 😂

Anyone else enjoy these kinds of videos that aren’t just a speed build or a livestream? Just a casual little thing...honestly love them. 💕💕💕 Really cute house, too.

I can’t wait to have the grandmas teach their grandchildren how to knit, and knit them onesies and stuff, omg I’m so excited!! ❤️❤️ Also Kayla if you are stressed or anything, take a break. You deserve it!

Nifty Knitting who? i only know Luv 2 Knit

Build challenge ideas: You cannot move the camera. Once you start building you cannot rotate, zoom in, nothing until you're done with the build! OR... Build without alt placement & without bb.moveobjects on! 🤣👌🏻 That one would be so frustrating lol

Awww hope your anxiety subsides soon XX sending you big hugs. Thank you for making vids that help me when I'm feeling stressed /anxious and need to retreat ❤️

I really like to make bright and colorful houses so I'm loving all the color swatches! specially the yellow ones! Also I love the octopus plushie so much I want one to myself lol

Fun fact the person who is actually first usually doesn’t comment.

I just got the pack like an hour ago. So one of my legacy grandma’s got a crafting room!!!!

My grandma knits and didn't get a tumble dryer until 3 years ago so this house with the old kitchen stuff would honestly be perfect for her

I absolutely love the color swatches, but I also do a lot of crafting, so maybe that’s part of it?

"Im gonna corner a sims guru and force 'em to tell me" yikes ok kayls

Seriously, why has somebody already disliked already?

My anxiety has been terrible lately, I've only just came across your videos, and have binge watched them and you've made me love Sims again, it's such a nice escape from the real world😂 so thanks

personally i love the crazy colour swatches and want them on more items as long as they come in white as well

When I first saw the swatches I just went "yikes" out loud lmao. They're pretty, but not versatile. Like you won't use these things unless you build something specific, a certain style or for a specific sim. It's such a pity cause the items look really nice. They gave us black and white swatches, but honestly who only has black and white furniture in their homes? We need wood swatches too, preferably swatches that actually match the other items in the game. Gameplay wise, this is great. My sim loves the rocking chair *I had issues with the swatches for that as well* so much that she literally does everything she can just rocking.

*Me watching lilsimsie while buying and installing nifty knitting* Simsie: it’s terrible! Me: F**K

"I'm all about realism until it um.. until it inconveniences me" lmao same And the llama hedge omg so many golden moments in this Also I love when you're happy with a build, this is really cute I hope your anxiety gets better soon and all goes well at the dentist xx

I LOVE the bright colours in this pack. I have already made a super colourful cottage. So maybe it’s not for you, but the colourful swatches are definitely useful

Anxiety is a serious thing mine was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack went and got checked out by my doctor just to find out it was Anxiety. Now I'm on Anxiety medicine I didnt think it was working but the second I stopped taking it I was having heart palpations again.

Commenting every day until she sees it: day 1 Pleased build the Foster's house of imaginary friends

Love that you have building in thr sims to take your mind off stuff (I do that too) and also glad youre going to take a break. Take care of yourself love 💟

I have lot of anxiety too. I started to play the sims in april when I was forced to stay home more than ever because school changed to be online, and to keep my head busy I started play. I played sims when I was a kid, so I figured it could be fun. Now I'm addicted, I was sick for over a month, so I didn't even leave appartnent, then I played like 24/7, and also then when I found you on youtube, and I learned a lot from you, lot of inspiration.

"Hey Grandma can I come visit and knit with you?"

SIMZEEEEEEE SOMEONE MADE HAMILTON IN ANIMAL CROSSING!!! Just look up Animal Crossing Hamilton :)

Been struggling with anxiety, too. You’re not alone, talk about it but also enjoy the times you can forget about it ❤️

My grandfather also has an older fridge. It’s the absolute goat tbh; crisp brita pitcher filtered water with some freshly frozen ice cubes just hits different
