I tried renovating the awful Landgraab mansion in The Sims 4 

I fell down a rabbit hole once and spent literally HOURS reading up on the Landgraab history and then I had this sudden realization that they’re not real and it was 2 AM

"Theyre supposed to be the richest family in the game" Me with the motherlode cheat code: *i think not*

I always drowned the landgraabs in their pool in sims 3 so that I could move my family in there #eattherich

okay but nancy definitely has that motion sensor that activates the “GET OFF THE GRASS” in different languages like in the princess diaries

You know she’s going through a crisis when she renovates the landgraab house

Kayla: What is the biggest display of wealth? Me: *toilet paper*

whenever i go on the gallery to download something it’s filled to the brim with packs,,, like i’m not gonna buy realm of magic for a single bed. seeing your builds where you limit the packs as much as you can is so refreshing,,, and yet you always find a way to furnish them completely. i saw this on the gallery when you posted it and didn’t really take a good look, but now i’m definitely putting this in my save !!

"they just owned all the... land" why am I only just realising that their name is a pun lmaoooo

The gym used to be Johnny's room.

Actually a fireplace can come in handy in a desert, they’re very cold at night and during the winter

I feel like Nancy doesn’t work out, she just pays people to work out for her

My theory for the Landgraab family is that Geoffrey doesn't know that she is a criminal. I bet Nancy is telling him she has a good job, which can be true, cause they own everything. The landgraab power company, landgraab school etc. I don't see Geoffrey caring about owning everything since his personality traits don't really make him seem like the guy that does. I bet Nancy is behind wanting to own everything so she can make it seem like she's earning a lot of money towards Geoffrey. Meanwhile she's married to him. I do think there's some love between them but for the most part I think Nancy is using him for information about his job. She can literally know every operation, every protocol from the FBI because of him. That's why she stays out of trouble and can make a lot of money from the criminal career. I bet Malcom knows about his mom being in the criminal career and she's preparing him to take her place when she's too old to continue, or something else happens. Johnny maybe had an idea what Nancy was doing and tried to convince his dad that Nancy was a criminal. I think that's why they both disowned him. I don't see Geoffrey to be the type of guy to just disown his son for following his dreams. I think Nancy probably manipulated Geoffrey by playing the victim because Johnny was accusing her of something terrible. And Geoffrey who is, of course in love, believed her. Johnny decided from that day own he didn't want to do anything with the family anymore and followed his own path. Well that's the story I made for the Landgraab family. I'm now playing as Johnny trying to make it as an entertainer to prove to his family he can make it without them. I'm trying to make him the richest person in the sims 4 instead if the Landgraab family. Now that would be a good revenge am I right? I really recommend playing as Johnny trying to make it as an entertainer because it's a really fun challenge to make him richer than his own parents. You also get really into the storyline which is really fun. Sorry for my bad English in advance, I'm Dutch haha.

Sometimes I just imagine the people who made these houses watching lilsimsie roast them and silently crying in a dark room. Poor souls.

My headcanon for Johnny is that they were so embarrassed by him that just just got rid of any files/records relating to him being their son

Im sat here watching lil simsie say, 2 years ago, how a big kitchen island was her dream, after watching her remake her real kitchen in a later video that has...a big kitchen island. It just warms my wee heart that she got her dream island ❤️

Plot twist: The bear is named Johnny cause Malcolm really misses his brother.

When she talked about the grass, it reminded me of A Cinderella Story when Fiona yells "DROUGHTS ARE FOR POOR PEOPLE"

The Landgraab mansion was a sad and awful mess😅 I can't wait to place this new and BETTER house! Nancy Landgraab is an total icon.

I feel like Johnny breaks in to the pool house to remind him of his old home. And his dad knows but miss's him but will never tell Nancy

4:06 ahhhh, the infamous McMansions (poorly designed obscenely large homes) Sincerely, a former Realtor

whenever i think if the Landgraabs, I think, "Oh Geoffrey this sweet guy, protecting us, genuinely loves Nancy" but then Nancy just like, "hahaha this dummy thinks i actually LOVE him whatta NERD I'm just here for the cash" and Malcom is acting out bc he knows his parents' relationship is kinda messed up and that's his way of coping. those are the vibes I get.

I always thought the reason why he wasn’t in the family tree was that they literally disowned them. They could have easily reforged some birth certificates or something

My first thought when you loaded in to the family was “excuse me ma’am, Geoffrey is freezing to death.” 😂

“My hair is bone straight” Me, someone with crooked bones: 😳

I love how Geoffrey is literally dying in the beginning and nobody said anything 😂

I took my sims to the landgrab house so she could seduce Geoffrey.. While I was there my sim started a fire and burned the whole kitchen and killed Nancy and the son...😐 Then me and Geoffrey got married right after that

Me: *Never took notice of houses. Considered them boxes that stops my sims from dying.* Me: *Watches this* oh shhiiitttt dats a nice box

simsie: *makes fun of how long their houses are* also simsie: *compliments how long the house is*

If you could do a tutorial on how to fill up space in larger houses, that would be incredible! I like building larger houses so I can incorporate more gameplay elements into them, but I never know how best to lay them out

I propose the “make it smaller” becomes a meme like the blue suburban

0:46 the moment she went over to that house i was like *that literally looks like a parking garage*

I was so shocked when reading Johnny's bio that I played with him, made him become a famous entretainer, marry Judith Ward and then he became a youtuber and now they live in a Mansion in Sulani.

When I first got the sims 4 I didn’t really know the townies and my sim ends up marrying Johnny Zest bit I renamed him Nico and he took his wife’s last name and I still play with that family like 10 generations later and they are all technically landgraabs!!!!! It’s kinda funny

I’m the kind of person who LOVES CLUTTER but the kind of emptiness of this house that looks like it was decorated when they bought it and they didn’t change it feels very fitting, Nancy doesn’t seem like the sentimental type, or like she’d care what the decor is like - only that an interior designer did it for her so she can brag about it.

I always thought Geoffrey was conning Nancy so he could keep tabs on her for the government.

Kayak: "I hate to be that guy" Also Kayak: makes like 1000 videos hating on EA's builds

I see Nancy having a secret huge vault where she stores all of her money

How about this build challenge: Make a house that fits one of every item! You don't need to add every bed that exists in the game but you do need to add 1 at least. At the same time, you need to place every unique gameplay object (Cupcake Machine, Telescope etc.) I think it's easiest to limit yourself to just the base game for that. I'd be very excited to see what that would look like.

the landgraab house looks like every single house i built in minecraft

You made the landgrab house look good, I’m VERY impressed, I love it soooo much I would live in it

Who saw her post this on the gallery already and thought “I know this is gonna be good”. Just me? 😂😅

6:23 I live in Arizona and this is SO TRUE. Rich people have ridiculous lawns for no. Reason.

My first video of LilSimsie and can I say omg I’m already in love. Have to subscribe and binge watch all her videos immediately

Oml Malcom and Johnny are brothers? I made like a whole ass love story for them lmaoooo

as someone who lives in Arizona, CEO of deserts, I can confirm that displaying wealth is a big yard and land

Bathrooms are everything!!!!! *Shakes fist.* Especially when you share one with two or more people and someone likes to take their ever loving time to get ready. Also, I noted this to a James Turner video, but deserts may be hot and dry during the day, but they can get freaking cold at night. So, yeah... fireplaces in the desert? Not that strange. Now we are coming towards the end of the tour... It is lovely! I think Geoffrey would cry over it while Nancy would flip her hair and say, "Well it is about time!"

I've always played with base game and you can make very awesome builds out of it, and using debug-items make it even more fun! The only thing I miss in base-game is a round dining table.

10:00 Kayla’s talking about a prep kitchen

nobody: simsie: the landgraab house is L O N G

My thoughts on the random money bags in the upstairs hallway: I'm also a firm believer that Nancy and Geoffrey are working together to keep up appearances and own Everything, but Malcolm found out about it one day. So in exchange for his silence, they keep those bags sitting on the top floor under that table. Every so often they'll disappear, then return empty, at which point they get filled and left out again. No one ever talks about it, it just keeps happening, and the family goes on living their "happy" and "normal" lives.

Love this version of the mansion! And tbh I agree with you, I always imagined Nancy and Geoffrey as a secret team. Like Geoffrey is a secret agent fighting against the criminals and he's undercover just to spy on Nancy but in reality he fell in love with her and now they are working together and Geoffrey is just pretending to be on the good side.

I literally started playing with the Landgraabs like a week ago and at first I was too lazy to renovate the house but it bugged me SO MUCH how everything was so weird and I had to do it

empty space on a room with no purpose: exists Kayla: you could put a cupcake machine here

Kayak went from talking about builds to only talking about her life and that girl she went to high school with and back to talking about the build. Now that’s character growth

My ears literally perked up when she mentioned Safiya and Tyler, my favorite youtubers mentioning each other warms my heart

My pet peeve with houses on the sims is when there’s more bathrooms than bedrooms. You really expect to have like 4 bedrooms with 4 sims and 6 bathrooms? No way. That is so annoying to me

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT BASEGAME OH MY GOODNESS I NEEDED A GOOD RENO OF THIS STUPID HOUSE

Us: kayla, Geoffrey is freezing to death Kayla: this ain't about him

Lilsimsie memes: "iT's NoT a BlUe SuBuRbAn" "DON'T TOUCH MY WALLS" "I made it smaller" "OH NO IT LOOKS BAD"

9:21 But that’s just a theory, *A Game Theory*

Fun juice drinking game: take a shot whenever Kayla says “I think this is my favorite part of the build”

I have plans to renovate every home in the Sims 4 (using Michael and Janet from the Good Place as my ‘architects’)! I don’t have all the packs yet but eventually (I hope)! But I wanna stick to the styles of the ‘areas’ as decided by EA (eg. Willow Creek - New Orleans etc.) It’s taking a lot of planning!!

I love how this twenty year old person just casually said it was her “blankey”

Kayla talking about the Landgraab house: “I mean where the fack should I really even start”

Here’s a challenge: make a house that looks like the house/room in the corner when you’re finding items. So the kitchen needs to look and be formatted like the room it shows you.

I remember in the sims 3, one of my sims was dating the land landgraab kid and once they made it official the family glitched out of the game

*Me:* clicking on this video thinking it was gonna be her renovating the house and talking mainly about the build and design of each room and what looks good and what doesn't.🤣 *Kayla:* Giving a whole backstory and tea on the Landgraabs to a sppedbuild🤣🤣 *Me:* Not regretting it bevyz ya gurl loves a bit of family tea🤣

“ i can’t envision building a modern house “ Me : I CANT ENVISION ANYTHING SOOOOOoooOo

Kayak it’s okay. We are here for you, your obsession with the Landgrabbs can be fixed! You’re only fourteen, it’s not too late!

Imagine really having to pee in the night and having to go through the closet and bathroom to get to the toilet

"MAMA I'M IN LOOVE WITH A CRIMINAL!" now it's stuck in your head too🤭😂

Love the walk in closet - nothing says money like a ridiculously large closet filled with expensive shoes. I haven't seen that closet piece with the hanging clothes - very cool. In really like the final result. The study, the pool house, the gym - so cool.

Haven't watched the video yet, but i don't think this renovation is possible lmao

Their house in the Sims 4 literally looks like a British high school built in the 1960s (which most of them are over here)

Well...the fact that they haven't got a pool makes sense, they're called the Landgraab family, not the Watergraab family

I honestly wasn't expecting much since this house really is a mess, but i actually really love what you did with this build while still keeping the shell generally the same

I want 18 bathrooms,but do I REALLY need them? *No.*

"I'm old for my age"... i had an aneurysm when i heard this.

AAAAHHHHH! I have never known someone who looks at Zillow to look at Mansions and stuff. My family and classmates would tell me that's weird. I'm gonna subscribe for sure, you made my day! 😢😭❤

I thought I was the only one who looked at mansions on Zillow....now Ik I’m not THAT weird

"i don't know about you guys...but i frequent Zillow." we stan a queen

“Grass. Doesn’t. Grow. Here.” 🤣 I need to see this done with all the packs. Love it.

i love how you referenced safiya and tyler! one of my favorite youtubers talking about two of my favorite youtubers ahaha

you've already made this space so much brighter it's kind of amazing

I personally feel like the weird length of the Landgraab mansions is iconic. Do not mess with that. However I do agree that compared to buildings possible since Get Famous this looks rather shabby. Love how it turned out though, the fountains really help with that mansion vibe and I like that you added a poolhouse.

whenever simsie does a build she always brings up the cupcake machine lol

I totally love your vibe I feel like you’re having conversation with me. Great content:)

Poor Geoffrey, works even after he dies. He died in my game (became a ghost), so I added him to my family, and boyfriend still went to work. Maybe that’s his punishment? Team Geoffrey, because I met him first.

I'm not gonna lie, the Landgraab's Mansion from the Sims 3 was my reference for every house I built 😂😂😂😂

1:07 fun fact: the Landgraab does own the elementary school in ts4... but that’s it. I would love to see them grab more lands too but with the introduction of rich families in every expansion pack I guess they just aren’t as big anymore

Yay i renovate this mansion too and have my sims moved in. A young couple with twins😍 the big room on the left really suitable for twins. And the master bedroom is so large i can build a walk in closet. It turns out pretty good tho:)

OMG, I am so glad someone else views houses even though you cannot afford, and you aren't even moving!!!

I understand the pain of the bob growing out. I also have pin straight hair, and after a couple years of never letting it hit the shoulders (it always makes the hair do weird things and puff out and I feel like Dora), I'm growing it out this year. I'm currently in the awkward stage and I despise it. IT WAS VERY BOLD OF YOU TO CUT IT YOURSELF😬😬 I'd NEVER do that oh lordy! At that length? NAH.

Love the videos. Your channel inspired me to create my own videos

Yes lilsimsie! I relate with giving self haircuts, I shaved like 3 inches off, I was ready for my long hair gone and so my hair is short!

Geoffrey. He’s just. The kinda dad who bakes you and your friends cookies and I love him.

She’s hitting 700k soon❤️🤠

18:32 it so funny how you say “juice” when we all know that’s alcohol HAHA

14:12 "maybe I'll go *graab* them"

Kayla: they owned everything My brain: OPULAAAANCE! YOU! EARN! EVRYTHAAAANG!
