I'm a fairly new subscriber and I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoy your content! I appreciate that you fully explain/narrate what you're doing as you do it. It's super helpful since I have the attention span of a chicken nugget lol. Also, the build challenges you come up with are so creative!

I love that this family is just so about supporting their kids. Like there’s so much to do they really seem to emphasize that all their kids are active. Like. They really emphasize you know doing things and also being creative. This seems like a really cool family. I also imagine that maybe the toddler bedroom was a bathroom that they converted into a bedroom. But like they decided to keep the sink. And maybe as that kid grows up and becomes sort of a place to fill up water, guns or water balloons. Maybe they’re the ones that become a lot more mischievous. I loved this challenge and I really hope that you do it again.

[@perpetualsunshine6035]

This is hilarious. I love that you didn't anticipate the chaos before hand 🤣 You pulled it off so well!

the way you reacted to the potty toddler room was so funny to me bc i see that as being normal... like am i the odd one out or didn't everyone have a potty in their room as a toddler???

[@sydmac]

LOL I know literally nothing about kids but I was like maybe this is a thing???😅😅

[@BengtBagels]

me in IRL? no. me as a simmer? Yes, Absolutely. Also, places fruit and veggies in my toddler's pockets ( their inventory). Cuz my Sim parents don't have time to cook you, no food... now get to skill building! Also, I let whichever Sim with the fruitcake arrive (welcome wagon) *reset sim* once they are onto my Sim's lot... Immediately end welcome wagon event. Go home! Get out of here! Get off my Sim's lawn, Nancy!! ( leave the fruitcake tho ) shove fruitcake into toddler's pocket... entire plate. just feed yourself 24/7. Maybe if I got time, your Sim parents will have one meal with you. 🫡😭 ima have to get so used to infants lols 😆

[@BuffySummersWannabe]

Potty training requires every trick in the book! My little cousin has a potty in her room because she insists on not wearing a pull-up at night but also can’t make it through the night without needing to pee lol

[@awkward_archangel]

yea, I was also confused because I thought that was pretty normal

[@madelyngoga5685]

Syd is the best! She uses items that I would never consider using and makes them look 10x better! Your build style is so different than mine, yet I find inspiration in every video! I’m shocked every day to find out that you don’t have 1 million subscribers. Can’t wait for the day The Sims ask you to do a build for them!

[@Fifi2Fifi1]

“This family is clearly all about having their children embrace their dreams” 24:29 I don’t know if lil’ potty agrees

[@emielf8678]

It makes so much sense to have a robotics station in the bathroom tho! If there is an oil spill or things get dirty in general, it won’t be a hassle to clean the tile.

[@takemebackto2018]

Idea that helps explain the 1st bathroom: They are currently updating or building the robot toilet and the robotics table is on wheels and has been transferred there for easier tool access! Edit: for the 2nd bathroom, you could say that someone went through a break up and they are taking a mischievous way to cope Edit2: for the potty room: The toddler in the room is currently learning and they are having a lot of trouble in remembering that if they have to go. So they put a potty in the room to try and have them remember to try and use it instead of their diaper!

[@AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

Second explanation for the robotics bathroom, the robots can sleep in the station so the bathroom is their en suit!

[@Jules_1029]

I’d love for this to become a series until all the skills are used! So many more amazing bathrooms to be made 😂

[@luciafantin]

This is so fun, now I really wanna try this out hahaha I think it would have been interesting to see you fully embrace the rock climbing skill in the living room the same way you did with the robotics bathroom, like for example use the colors of the rock climbing wall and decorate the living room in those colors instead of hidding it. I liked the robotic bathroom a lot xD great video as always!

[@faeshyye6193]

i love the idea of the house being owned by a grandparent really into knitting! the piano bedroom with a balcony would be so perfect for them haha

[@Ardelin_]

The skill. The creativity. The resourcefulness. The robot decor in the Meditation bedroom. The rock-climbing wall in the living room. The impossible, unbelievable, *cohesion?!* Iconic, unequaled, unsurpassed.

The way you managed to do the rock climbing skill in the living room and the ROBOTICS BATHROOM👀 iconic

[@lylabroflovski4132]

When I and my cousins were younger, we would always have the potty out in the hallway near the bathroom. And I think a lot of people do actually keep the potty in the toddler's room, just so they can clean it up immediately.

[@Stayville_Clown]

Can you please please please put this on the gallery if you haven’t already? I LOVE what you did for the exterior as well as the decorations in the interior. All of your other builds are so gorgeous too! I love the way you build kinda with us, the viewers and include us in the process in a way as well! You are amazing!!

[@ClxdyRosez]

Be sure to give that toddler a better room x

[@meeksamillion]

i really like including the shell part as a speed build! it's hard to choose between showing the building of the shell or not but this is a perfect compromise

[@kymaliabrevett5400]

For the potty room, you could say that the parent put it there because the toddler has trouble navigating their way to the bathroom at night, and they don't want them to wet the bed I'm not sure what you'd say for the sink though.

[@Emmarurbbg]

I feel like I’m gonna fall asleep it’s so calming thank you! ☺️

[@megumifushiguro-v2b]

I have a story for the house lol. An herbalist woman falls in love with a robotic obsessed father because of his hard working skills. Because of his career, he has lots of wealth. The Fathers kids move in with the mothers children. Mothers children: A piano girl (8) is a little rude and stuck up, but is kind to the people she loves dearly. She is very passionate about her piano skills. A wellnes s filled teenager, or at least wants to be because of their anger issues, warms up to the family eventually. Now is the fathers children: A chaotic 4 and a half year old toddler who loves rock climbing and dangerous adventures has a hard time getting along with her brother, (11) who is a "pro" ski freak and often argue about which sport is better. Together, the family goes on wild adventures along the way, and learns how to be a great family.

[@Swainnnnn]

You're literally my comfort channel at this point. So happy I found you!

[@kat7429]

@@sydmac hahah of course!! 😂🥰

[@SLift-mn8hi]

I think the parents realized that their eldest was building stuff in one downstairs bathroom, their skiing/rock-climbing kid was practicing mischief in the other, and between themselves and the aspiring musician the last one was being used to practice charisma/singing in the shower all the time, so the toddler needed an available toilet if they were ever going to learn (and not be scarred while doing it). That being said, it would be hilarious if part of the teen’s attempts at combining wellness with robotics was to build a more comfortable toilet for the poor toddler (obviously building a perfect massage robot is their end goal), making a bathroom unusable at the same time.

[@tatiane6389]

i was binge watching your “every time house is a blank” playlist and i’ve never clicked on a notification so fast in my life lol 🫶🏻 can’t wait for the awsome contents that you’ll be able to build with the new pack!

[@sydmac]

oooo this could be a super cool tiny home vid!

[@kandirain_1172]

"Maybe they record their adventures"...in their bedroom? 😳 🤣🤣🤣

[@chrryblssmz]

my story idea for this is that one parent is a famous rock climber, the other knits and does herbalism, and the two of them vlog their family's adventures. The teen is into wellness, with a younger sibling who likes to ski and another who plays the piano and a toddler who is learning to potty. the bathrooms I can't explain much haha. but this would be a really cool family to play as!

[@ellen5464]

You became my favourite KZbinr!!! I love every video you make! I would love to see more of these random aesthetic challenges, there are so many cool and unknown aesthetics on those wheels, i love it! Maybe restaurants, cafes, community spaces, dorms, gyms or other lots :)

[@linaleonilla]

Syd, YOU’RE SUCH A TALENT! I need more videos with this challenge, so entertaining💕

[@eleanorburnham3713]

Ooo you should have done the "robotics bathroom" as a laundry room/utility room! I feel like that would have fit.

[@nebisaur165]

My dog is a professional snuggler, she is a medium sized beagle mix (looks lab-ish), so naturally she thinks she's a lap dog. So she'll snuggle right onto your lap/torso and just suffocate you with love. I adore my Lucy Soo. And her snuggles. So yes. Doggie snuggles are THE BEST!!!

[@GirlyBoo]

I do have a toddler and yes, we have a potty in the bedroom. A potty in the living room, and a potty in the den/kids' hangout area. We bring a little bowl of water or walk him to the sink. But yeah, a potty bedroom is actually realistic! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@eodonnell]

Adorable house! I also appreciated that you explained each of the skills a little bit, since several were from packs I don't have.

[@becnoremac-mail7307]

A potty bedroom makes more sense than a potty hallway. Which is what you would have gotten if you did a hallway skill. That's a win!

[@dragonsgamingcorner1645]

The exterior definitely gave grandma's house, the type you fully expect to smell cookies walking up to

[@autumnaltumn]

if you switched the living room and the exterior’s skills, they would’ve been perfect fits! great vid syd!!

[@random_chaos307]

My idea for this fam: All the fam is fairly active, and the father decided to stream the things the kids do! Like skiing tricks, yoga tutorials, piano lessons, etc.. And they were fine with it! The toddler however, has some trouble with things, hence why he has a potty in his room. The first teen, the oldest, is slowly trying to become their own person. The robotics their mom and dad support, but they also do streaming and play games, they team up with the second oldest child to make music together. The second teen, she likes all music, even though her parents disagree with some. So, she sneaks away at night sometimes to go to concerts. The third oldest, the kid. He didn't want to do skiing at first, but grew to like it, he still likes other things too, and is mainly chill. The mom is very supportive and is definitely an environmentalist. She babies her plants and frequently does rock climbing to reach different herbs in difficult areas. That's why they have a rock wall. Only thing, she's slowly seeing a side of her husband she doesn't like, and it's not going away. She is also falling out of love, but wants to keep family together in order to give her kids the perfect childhood possible. The dad. He's loving, don't get me wrong, but a bit(lot) fame obsessed. Since he was young he was told to succeed. So he means well, just isn't doing it right. He's noticed how his wife kind of ignores or avoided him mostly, so he's worried she's cheating, (she's not) but still is going to bring it up. Oldest teen : Alex they/them Second teen : Olive she/her Third child : Chase he/him Fourth toddler: James he/him Mom : Lily Dad : Robert Last names : Charles

[@Niriixa]

Unhinged house that somehow still looks gorgeous!! Well done 😊💕

[@becnoremac-mail7307]

I really loved seeing these uncommon skills, apart from potty training I don't play with any of them. I'd love to see a part 2, with only skills you don't use.

[@rainbow_storm]

This was a really fun video! I loved seeing all the random skills that you had to make work, I'd love to see another one with different skills

[@silvervixen007]

Omg we need part 2 with the rest of these skills! I love challenges like that😍😍

[@tashwarburton8287]

I almost always put the potty in the toddler bedrooms for gameplay ease because toddlers take so long to walk to the bathroom😂

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Not a parent but an auntie. When you're potty training a toddler, it's not unheard of to have potties in strange places. Their bedroom, the living room, the back of the car... because when a toddler has to go, they really have to go. Also, if you have a two story house and the only bathroom is on the ground floor (super common in old houses), it's definitely not safe for toddlers to be going down the stairs middle of the night by themselves when they have to tinkle.

[@vanessamatos9378]

That kitchen is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@lilrachael]

The storyline behind this could be parents that love cooking and growing plants/herbs. one of the grandmas moved in (where the knitting came in) then the couple has three kids a teenager (13-15), a younger kid (6-9) and a toddler (2-3) which would explain everything in the house.

[@Na_biee]

I feel like this house could be a house of parents that love their kids very much and spoils them with everything they want

[@sydmac]

agreee!!!💕

[@samanthakim5035]

[@missfroggie8162]

You should do a video where you make a lot filled with base game skills in one lot. And you’ll see how many you can fit in.

this challenge made the most random choices but it's honestly so funny and absurd that it's camp haha

[@caidenpeterson1806]

The thought i had with the random skills in bedrooms is that when you have a big family like that, theres no extra space to have your streaming set up or your piano separate!

[@mirazenker1203]

This house was so fun! Your building style is so inspiring :) I only have base game, so building is a struggle sometimes. But I still love it! Maybe I'll get an expansion pack someday. It's just so difficult to decide which packs would be best for building. 😅 From watching your videos I'm thinking maybe Eco lifestyle?

[@zararobnett8284]

[@michaelborlido2320]

Since your into building family homes right now. You should do each room is decided by the family member. So you basically randomize 8/ make 8 sims into the family and then on a wheel you spin it and whatever family member you get you have to base the room off the family members traits/personality/interest/likes

[@mirrukku]

please keep making videos with this challange! your build are amazing as always
