i tried building a sims house using ONLY the star wars pack... 

This is the most bachelor pad house simsie has ever made and I kind of love it

I wish Batuu was a spin-off instead of a DLC pack. Would have left so much more room for stuff to do in it.

I feel like the Batuu pack is just like the weird cousin of Dessert Luxe. I think this house would have worked slightly better in Oasis Springs.

This pack could’ve been so much better they really let Star Wars fans down Edit: They TOTALLY could’ve given us an alien revamp and they DIDNT😭

The living/kitchen/dining is giving divorced 40+ dad and i love that

Wasn't expecting this when you talked about doing limited pack builds 😂

it would be nice to see kayla build for a household that isn't a nuclear family more often. this would've worked well as a home for geeky adult roommates! i think making family homes all the time really restricts her creativity

I think this stuff would be good for making a Star Wars cantina. Mix it with stuff from Get to Work and Get Together to make a cool sci-fi alien themed nightclub.

ngl i really like the batuu aesthetic, but then again i love building postapocalyptic hideouts lol

I think that a Batuu styled restaurant could be pretty interesting, especially with those giant pendant lights

I find the items in this pack really useful for like scientists lairs and such. Normal house is really not for it but things like sheds, areas made for the large science equipment (before we got small telescopes, still the only way I've found to have the microscope and rocket make sense tho), random clutter in a garage, etc. Some of the items do fit in with other styles and have more use than other but using the whole pack is more limited

“Ah Batuu!” -James Turner (Formerly Known As The Sims Supply)

I'm surprised you didn't use baby yoda in the kids bedroom. Perfect opportunity to use it. You did such a good job though, it was really difficult to make this pack work and this house is actually beautiful!

I find the build/buy items work best in desert or industrial builds. Plus the only curved bar, those great flowers, and other than Desert Luxe, the only real choice for basement walls. Plus the best stone flooring.

"Oh thats weird. We should use it in here!" Is the entire theme of this video and it is hilariously fitting for Batuu pack

5:29 "I've never used that swatch" I use that roof swatch all the time 😭

Ok so I'm commenting early as I watch this, and I'm SO hopeful. I love the Star Wars pack for build items, I use them all the time! It has the only curved bar in the game, size down the lights and they're boho and adorable, I love the potted and dried plants... there's just so much that's good! Please be nice, everyone is so mean to this pack all the time

I think this pack isn't really ment for normal houses, but it works great for themed builds. I've watched people make cyber punk cities and zombie bunkers with this stuff and it's perfect. But a blue suburban? Yeah, maybe not the best use of it lol

I can hear James say: YeAh, BATUUUUUUUUU!

After the Industrial Loft kit came out, I used it to build a house on that giant lot in Del Sol Valley. I used the space to make it look like a disused transformer station converted into a residential lot. The Batuu pack came in handy for the abandoned machinery.

And then there's the few of us who do love it. Mostly because Hondo Ohnaka is one of my most favorite characters and that he's voiced by Jim Cummings. And Vi Moradi is an awesome character. But i love it anyways. But I know others don't and that's okay.

As a huge StarWars fan, I think it’s great that you upload this video when the final season of a StarWars show gets released 😂 Perfect timing!

I'm amazed, it's incredible you managed to turn star wars into a suburban. 10/10 lol. I think there's a Star Wars comic series of Darth Vader being like a suburban dad and I want to imagine they live here now XD

i was so excited for this pack when it came out, its what finally got me to start playing 4 again since launch (im a sims 3 girlie at heart) and have promptly never touched it since. i’m glad to see it has at least SOME ‘practical’ use! i remade the high school years auditorium to have some plays going on over the different events and one was a star wars play, that was fun to go crazy with the themed deco

I like most of the build items for Star Wars, in debug there are items like water collectors and antennas--decorative only of course...sigh--but I can't believe you have forgotten the trash can!! The most useful item from the pack.

I use the Star Wars pack in industrial builds a lot. My style is more industrial, dark, and geeky when it comes to building/decorating in the Sims.

I love the star wars pack :) and this is a cute house. but i'd love to see a house that combines Batuu with the Courtyard Oasis kit. i think the Batuu build/buy suits the desert better.

I once did one of your shell challenges with just Batuu and the base game! In the desert world you can make some pretty cool builds that fit in with the environment

Surprisingly my most used item from Batu is the Arch that's hidden in debug. Possibly my favourite medium wall height arch in the game

I wish that they had the *option* to build on at least one lot in the world!! With the For Rent it would have been cool to do a resort! I use this pack a lot for Solarpunk/Werewolf builds bc it looks worn and gritty in a good way

Would be nice to see someone use only the pack to build a weird house, use the fence, use the doors and windows. I love odd challenges, felt like this kinda missed the mark with using base game

Kayla: “I don’t know what these things are but they’re cute” Me: “UTINIIIIII”

I’m currently on a 3-day class trip and I were walking around the city we’re in all day and now I’m back at the place I’m staying at and the WiFi is so horrible but it works just barely good enough for my highly needed daily dose of Simsie. My whole body hurts because my backpack is too heavy and I had it on my back the entire day but now I’m laying on my bed and everything is fine cuz I can finally relax and watch my favorite RU-vidr play my favorite game while I can’t do it myself. Thank you Simsie.

AAHHHHHH BATU YEAH!

I personally like the Journey to Batuu pack, it's fun to decorate with everything. I personally like the cantina bar stuff and backdrop.

I actually really love that you put the Ewok plushies on the kid’s bookshelf because I have an Ewok plushie on my shelf too❤

I have it and i love it. I could not care less a bout starwars but i love the floors and the plants and it's really good for industrial builds.

You could've built an abandoned warehouse, modern house or an industrial apartment. Batuu is more... that vibe.

I used one or two of the Batuu rugs, and even side by side, to serve as the flooring for an entire kitchen once during a Dream Home Decorator kitchen renovation, but it was admittedly meant to be a bit of a run down and geeky, slightly alien inspired kitchen... for the Curious family from The Sims 2... lol 😂

I haven't used the gameplay yet, but I think almost every one of my builds has a good portion of Batuu. It's been fun to use in a mix of industrial/rustic houses and can work in different vaguely period fantasy styles like steampunk or medievalish

This is probably my favorite build of yours! The color schemes and furniture in the living room are really nice choices! Makes me think 60's or 70's in a distant space future. That's my favorite theme! Also would have died to have a bedroom like those when I was a kid.

I am a star wars fan and was disappointed that the pack's story set in an era I don't like as much also no force skilltree T-T I still have the pack and like to get lightsabers and droids for geeky sims

those windows look AMAZING as shower dividers!

I unironically love battu, it has some of my favorite things. I don’t really use the gameplay, partly because it’s so incredibly buggy. It also annoys me that Rey and Kylo Ren are wandering around. Like, Hondo is fun, but Rey and Kylo just gets weird. Especially since sims dress up as Leia and stuff for halloween and geekfest.

The rocket poster in the kids room is a pin up girl 😂😅

simsie now better build a modern house using cottage living because yes

James Turners new favourite video

I feel like it's the kind of build that you really need to go for it, but it was a nice try.

Loved to see you try and use this pack! I know those star wars doors really pulled through for me when i had to make a cyberpunk-style living room for a challenge. Honestly, i can see the pack being useful for more fantasy, high tech or industrial builds, not so much a modern suburban home, but somehow you still managed!

Ik im never going to get the star wars pack but this house was so cute!

I like it. I think that the lights in particular give a sort of hybrid Steampunk/Art Deco vibe.

I really like this pack and the items that come in debug for building urban settings! But outside of that i havent really used it that much

I would love it if you built base game houses for the not so berry challenge. The reasons are: 1. You are the creator of the challenge. 2. You are really good at building 3. I think many people play the not so berry challenge, and it's so hard to find good houses in the gallery if you don't have packs or have a few. Does anyone else agree with me?

This worked out surprisingly super well! I actually really like this house, I would totally live here even though I never got into star wars.

i own a century home and what you said about the chimney is absolutely true of our house. the previous owner took out the fireplace decades ago but the chimney is still there. super common in my area!

Hi love the build...oh yeah and there is a nice stone like foundation paint in basegame...it looks like a clay foundation paint first but their is a splotch

quite fortuitous posting day since the 3rd season of star wars the bad batch starts today!! im a huge star wars fan, so this pack was a must buy for me, it was literally the first pack i bought for the game. i honestly really like it, sure its a bit repetitive, but almost any gameplay that came with specific packs is. i really like the story that you can play through with it, especially after having gone to disney and seeing batuu/black spire outpost and finding out that you can practically go through the whole gameplay yourself in person while youre there. i havent played through it in awhile, but ive been wanting to for the past 2 months since i got back from disney

“Simsie, STOP trying to make Star Wars happen. It’s NOT going to happen!” 😛 Just kidding! Fantastic job Simsie!!!

I love these limited pack builds where the pack in question is one of the weird ones! I was a bit scared at first that the house would be messy but it's honestly so pretty?? You did amazing Kayla! The colors might now be your usual but they're wonderful and they work really nicely (I specially love the accent brick wall on the rooms)

I actually have a tip that might be useful for the foundations not matching a build. Lay out your foundation and make it the height you want. Add a half wall the same height a square away from the foundation and use the wall pattern /color you used on the house. You can then use move objects and hot keys to place plants to make the whole thing look like a planter box around the house and hide the separation of the wall and foundation.

It's giving themed Airbnb near a Disney park vibes

love when you try darker color schemes, the living room looks nice af!!

Okay this might actually have tuned out into one of the best builds i’ve seen you make 😊 It’s just so balanced and i love the unique ‘lil elements the star wars pack provides 💙

From this pack I like the brick style flooring and the roundish cement planter!

As someone who is a fan of Star Wars, I don't use a lot in this pack. At most it's a handful of the Build/Buy and CAS items that I can get to look somewhat normal (some of the jackets work well for light cold weather outfits)

Think the most I've used from this pack is: The vases. Some of the brick floor. The CAS items for rags to riches styles. The plants. I have never ever ever been to the world and I don't really wanna.

I've used this pack a lot for building, especially Mediterranean, Colonial houses or modern houses. It's just imagination and creativity ❤

I find limited pack builds so frustrating; I have so much respect for anyone who can manage them. I spent the whole play time of this screaming for Eco Lifestyle and the Industrial Loft kit. It turned out so much better than I could've ever imagined. Also, the "you can pretend the dinosaur is like an alien" thing; TELL EVERYONE IT'S A KRAYT DRAGON.

Love the justification for the chimney without a fireplace!

i agree with most of the comments here, i totally see this as a divorced dad’s house with his two sons, so cute

So sick and I really needed this today!

This turned out great!!! It would be fun to see her try to build with this pack the way it was intended, like an actual alien house

This is a single dads house. Very manly decor. Love it.

I built a stars home similar to houses on tattooine so a round house with a domed roof, using most of this pack but to add it into an normal home it would look like a middle aged dad who loves starwars and renovated his basement to become a collection space. I didn't make a bar since there wasn't much room since i did make the home a small home.

The CAS/build-buy mode is actually extremely useful. Probably one of my most used packs. It is useful for *any* sci-fi, fantasy, historical clothing or builds, and generic old worn out or rustic builds. The outfits work surprisingly well if you need to make medieval characters in generic outfits that don’t look modern. It is actually extremely versatile if you don’t do standard suburban sims builds and contemporary CAS. There are a lot of simmers out there who build and make sims for these kinds of things and looooove this pack. Is the game play absolutely terrible! 100%. And for this reason get it on sale as a “stuff pack.” But don’t trash its build/buy and CAS! It’s actually really good.

*James Turner voice* OH YEAH, BATUU! This house actually is such a vibe. I love it.

Love this video! Would love to see you do another where you fully lean into the vibes of Star Wars/Batuu instead of trying to make it fit into your usual sort of build. Just go full sci-fi weirdness and see what happens 😂

This is such a cool build. Congrats on going outside of your comfort zone. I really hope you find use in some of those fancy looking lamps and such on other builds.

This was a good video concept and I think it turned out really well!

The vase with the holes is one of my favorite clutter decor items. It looks like something you could put incense in.

You did such a great job with this build! I love the colour scheme. This is a house I would totally play in (and I'm a Batuu pack anti)!

I never thought I would’ve seen a video using the Star Wars pack 😅

Simsie: “So different from my regular vibes” Blue suburban Star Wars themed: 👁️👄👁️

I DO own this pack. I think there are a lot of useful decorations and floor patterns that are useful. It is also fun to use the cas items and just pretend one of your sims goes into that career!

The star wars pack is good for industrial builds! There are electronics that could work well as decorations- and it also works well with the Industrial Loft Kit!

For some reason it feels like this house would call me „Duuudeeee“ the first time we met, like I can’t explain it but that’s the energy I’m getting

In my game I have two Starwarsbuilds. Both in Strangerville. One originally build for an Alien, and one for a sim who had to go to Batuu (but never did). Right now I play a Legacy Family in the third generation, and there is lots of spinning wheels and throwing dice involved. My Sim Kirk (the game named him) had the three options: become a scientist, astronout or go to Batuu. And the spin said: Kirk, You are going to Batuu.... He will live in one of the already made houses, and I will have to go to Batuu with him. I tried that once before, never finished anything, because I thought it was kind of boring and had no idea what I was doing, and why. But maybe this time I will like it. Your house is really cute.

Even though the gameplay is repetitive, I still love Journey to Batuu. I use the CAS stuff for aliens, medieval-inspired gameplay, and apocalypse gameplay. And the build items are great for aliens, apocalypses, and medieval worlds too. And I enjoy the world of Batuu and pretending that my Sims are in Star Wars. Sue me, I enjoy Journey to Batuu.

14:00 “these vases aren’t too bad”, “these vases aren’t too bad”

This was actually a good build. I think the kids rooms were especially good. I think with this pack you just have to fully commit and really go on with it. Just brace the fact that it’s going to look really sci-fi and just go with it.

I actually really like what you did here. Your regular style isn't really my jam - which is fine btw - but this came together really nicely. I appreciate that you tried something new. It's really cool. :)

this could have been moooooore batuu, but it was good. :D

I use the Star Wars windows in bathrooms or in rooms I'd rather have more privacy. Sometimes I use them in laundry rooms or for police buildings. The fence is good for blockades or in science buildings, I also use them in military style builds, the lighter swatches are more versatile because they look less textured.

I actually love using the Star Wars building sets. It works really well for eclectic.

this is literally my childhood home-everything from the beige walls, and that exact hallway layout, with the jack and jill bathroom… (i grew up in florida)

The house I lived in during my teenage years, the master bedroom had a door that went into bathroom, as well as a door from the hall for everyone else. So the way you did it in this house I think works just fine :)

NGL the batuu picnic table is my favorite. It's not like a normal picnic table and the colors are nice.

batuu pack works so well for industrial with industrial loft kit, eco lifestyle, and maybe get to work

This is the quality content we've all been waiting for 😁

I think the pack really lends itself to a more brutalist/boho/industrial vibe so I understand why simsie stuggled a bit since we already know that's not her usual style!! I think the end result is pretty anyway, and It's always good to branch out and experiment, there's no need to be discouraging in the comments!!
