I would suggest making the trees different sizes as well as having smaller saplings

[@Qtopian]

I think it’s hard to do that without tool mod. You might only be able to do two sizes

[@limiv5272]

Yes, with TOOL, and also move a few slightly out of alignment so it's not too perfect

[@Qtopian]

@@limiv5272 yea but kayla doesn’t use toolmod she doesn’t have it downloaded

[@limiv5272]

@@Qtopian I know, but I'd like to encourage her to. Honestly, I can't imagine going back to building without it. It could really elevate her builds. That and stopping to avoid and apologize for using packs. It has been years since the game came out, we need the variety they bring

[@MiahGray]

@@limiv5272she avoids mods & a bunch of packs to help people that can’t afford all the packs or get mods. A LOT of youtubers use mods & packs, not many think abt people who can’t use those things.

[@GirlOfTheTardis]

The trees should be different sizes as people choose the right size for their home, and there needs to be something that looks like the machine that puts the tree in a netting for transport. I like the build though, looks great.

[@avigeyab3240]

exactly!

[@AgentPilot]

Maybe the cupcake machine; I know it's not perfect, but with some snow on it, it might be passable ^^

[@HannahJo32]

The recycler from Eco Lifestyle

[@ktyy777]

I think some kind of wagon or steel trailer should be there too so it looks like trees are being moved to the customers' cars

[@amayasamirah]

Loll

[@Cowplants_are_cool]

That's what I was thinking!

[@alejandraludmilacastro2]

i was expecting simsie to mention it at some point! we all know her knowledge of christmas tree farms comes from taylor!

[@yazbee8736]

The way Kayla was concerned for the kids being ‘safe’ and ‘warm’ then putting a giant fire hazard in the room where they will obviously navigate to 😂😅

[@net_has]

for someone from florida, she did a pretty good job, but she did miss the iconic metal barrel fire fueled by branches that get cut off when someone buys a tree

[@ryasnipes6068]

The vendors usually make them into wreaths. Or let us pick and choose what trimmings we want for free. Pretty cool!

[@carolinamonge8032]

i want to believe Kayla built this inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Christmas Tree Farm” 😂

[@khloevz]

Seems like it right?

[@555tashi]

i was waiting for her to say something about her haha

[@SunsetBrooke]

Yess I just listened to it lol

[@xxsnoopxx483]

I said that too!

[@ninamatthews8747]

Taylor swift has a Christmas tree farm now? 🫤

[@JBabyLeather]

I actually think that the children’s room in here is the best part of the build. It feels like such a great community space to bring the family. Let the little kids play in the playground while the adults go and have some hot cocoa and have conversations on the other side.I think maybe having different sizes of trees would be good. But honestly, the biggest thing that I would do differently is I would’ve made this a retail lot. Because then it would be like yes they can buy the trees, but you could’ve also set up stuff to be like ornaments and cards or whatever. So it really is just a real Christmas store.

[@laurenvdk]

as someone who works at a christmas tree farm, this is so much nicer lolll i would say to add more that one type of tree tho, + different sizes

[@HollyTaylorsversion-wr2zq]

In my heart is a Christmas tree farm Where the people would come To dance under sparkles and lights Bundled up in there mittens and coats And the cider would flow And I just want to be there tonight Under the mistletoe

[@floppybanana8939]

I think your issue with the trees was that they were all the same size. When you go to a farm you see a few different species and TONS of different sizes. Other than that you nailed them trying to sell you anything and everything else they can offer lol!

[@deidra763]

Am I the only one that liked the restaurant idea? It still came out beautiful 😻

[@taylor6266]

Was so sad when she changed her mind🥲

[@k31rar]

[@didi2943]

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO WHEN I SAW THE TITLEE

[@nikanau2041]

Suggestion to Simsie: it would be nice to have 5 min of a gameplay after each of your builds, just to see the functionality and how it looks in the game mode. Great job as always!

[@0.o.0.o1]

Ou! I’d love that too, good suggestion

[@arsv2296]

yeaa

[@antonizajkowski9698]

Strongly disagree

[@ryasnipes6068]

Download it and make your own changes. That's what makes it fun! That's what I do. You can always change it later on.

[@ShannonAndy]

Awesome job Kayla! But if you do ever do this again, I would suggest making it a bit more messy/unorganized :D Real life tree farms are literally like forests filled with Christmas trees, so naturally the sizes, shapes and placements of the trees are kinda all over the place. Obviously I know that's a bit hard to do in the Sims, but yeah! Love this and cannot wait to see more Christmas/winter inspired builds! Merry Christmas everyone haha

[@Gene_Sims]

This is where you come to see Santa! Get a picture taken and grab a tree.

[@miradinoh8577]

With tool you can scale the trees so they arent all exactly the same size, just a tip for anyone wanting to build something like this❤

[@antonizajkowski9698]

What tool?

[@miradinoh8577]

@@antonizajkowski9698 The TOOL mod by TwistedMexi❤️ it’s game revolutionary if you’re a builder

[@junerussell6972]

We have a lot of tree farms in our area. They do look like rows upon rows of identical trees sometimes. (Some have trees of different sizes and shapes, but many are "groomed" to all be the same shape and size. I guess they sell better that way.)

[@HannahJo32]

Yep my uncle owns one in Wisconsin & it's a very cookie cutter looking field with nothing cheery, festive or fun. You go pay for saw rental, try not to cut off your finger, trudge through ankle deep mud (the 1st snow usually comes a day or so before Christmas so it's all brown & smells like bogwater), drag the tree to the truck, get a net, pay & leave while fighting over who thought this was a good idea. There's absolutely no BS TV tropes. If there were the prices would double & everyone's already hoping mad about inflation. We aren't going to decorate for a single month of the year with $2000 with of toxic tinsel.

[@baileyrobbins50]

@@HannahJo32uhm that’s your opinion it’s not fun and Cherry. I go to Christmas tree farms every year in Illinois. But a lot of the trees are very small and still growing. But I enjoy getting a tree with my family and hanging out with them. It’s a family tradition and it’s not that bad half of the time. Plus the prices haven’t changed too much each either. Even with inflation from the last two years. It’s a fun time to be with family.

[@gr33ngirlsea]

​@@baileyrobbins50 yeah, I've been to some cute and festive tree lots!

[@Rin-jc1kp]

Aside from the barn being red instead of brown (and several acres bigger, but it’s the sims lol), this is exactly like the Christmas tree farm we go to every year! The barn is full of decorations and ornaments for sale in addition to hot chocolate, and they have a smaller shed full of wreaths. We have a tradition of picking out a new ornament every year. I can’t wait to go back this year, Simsie has made me miss it so much! 🥺🥰

[@antonizajkowski9698]

That's so cute! I'm jealous

Girl those trees are HUGE, most people can’t have a 2-3 story Xmas tree 😭

[@andrewmoeller1987]

I know! Just because she has never been to a tree farm doesn't mean she shouldn't know what size trees should be to fit in a person's house. Like, how could she look at it and not realize that? She's been inside living rooms, where people put the trees that they cut down. But I guess it's in line with many of her other builds and how she always says she can't tell how big a particular space is. THE GRID! and she builds in the Sims almost every day. How does she not understand scale? I honestly don't understand why she struggles so much with that.

i really wish she made it a retail lot bc im pretty sure you can actually sell those trees that way 😭😭

[@AKA_Studios]

This is so cute but so different than the tree farms near me 😅 Most are just fields of trees and a rack of saws near a fire pit (so the one or two workers can stay warm). There might be a barn somewhere within view but it’s not open to the public

[@prissumm]

Your sim was innocently making snow angels and you just put a whole barn on her head

[@emorysstern1389]

Underrated comment 😭😭

[@owowowowowowowowowowowo]

the only thing that bothers me is that the trees are all the same size mostly because ive been to actual christmas tree farms and there is always smaller trees

[@durdleduc8520]

my childhood home is a brand new house that was built in the middle of an artificial pine tree forest, with all these giant pine trees all planted in neat rows all around us. it was a failed lumber farm when my family picked up the property. when i was little, i was always told that my house used to be a christmas tree farm (even though they're the wrong kind of tree for that purpose, and were never farmed as christmas trees) so i'm very excited for this video!

[@Reveg55]

Been waiting for the day Kayla starts making Christmas builds 😻

[@alissalalala]

The way Kayla didn't really like the kid's room when that was my favourite part about the build 😭💀🎅🏼

[@HimeLunaMoon]

A recreational center would also be a good idea, I rarely see simmers use that lot type, considering how many ppl whined about not having it.

[@zuruineko4004]

This is so cute and pretty accurate for not going to one! I love all the cozy decorations and the big tree in the middle of the barn is chef's kiss! I have a bunch of tree farms around where I live and they plant the trees in a round for lack of a better word. So I think having some of the rows different sizes to note that they were planted in an earlier/later year would add some variety and realism. Also I think this would have worked potentially as a retail lot or community marketplace too and have some like toys to sell or craftables to be presents.

[@mysteria_1305]

It depends on what the owner wants for the farm but usually i've seen they have uncut trees in rows and pre cut already netted trees for those who don't want to cut their own down. The trees are differnt lengths and widths as to have options so the cosumer can find one that fits their needs or/and space where the tree will be.

[@cashewbag]

I wish irl Christmas tree farms were this cute! Usually they're just empty plots with a bunch of trees, a machine that puts a net around the tree, and a stall to purchase them lol

[@elizabethstarin4555]

I love your christmas tree farm, but I just want to tell you how they usually are in my experience in New York. Ive gone to a variety of farms in many regions in the state. There is usually some sort of barn/shop area, but it tends to be in the front instead of the back. They will sell things from christmas tree ornaments, to wreaths, to baked goods, to hot drinks. Most things are Christmas/winter themed, but that isn't always the case. Depending on the area, the trees may be on a hill or in a mountain, but they are always behind the barn/shop. Sometimes if people have reserved trees, the trees will be decorated. This looks super good, but I just wanted to give my Northeastern experience/advice to a Floridian who has probably not experienced this! Sending lots of love and happy holidays!!!

[@insertname1857]

where i am in upstate NY the christmas tree farms dont even have barns lol. just a plot of land w trees, a firepit for the workers, and a bunch of chainsaws and the netting thing

[@sabrinzesschen]

I love the idea, i think it would be more realistic if they werent all the same size - a few baby trees would be nice 😊

[@finnibe]

As someone who owns a Christmas tree farm, I approve and am a little jealous of how cool yours looks. I love that you're sharing your Christmas joy.

[@Mik-mi3lm]

I’m from Maine so we have Xmas tree farms. Some are actual farms where you can cut your own while others are areas set up outside of restaurants or stores with precut trees set up. They Always have Christmas lights and cute decorations!

[@x1asheratmidnight1x]

This lot is soooo cute! It’s almost winter fest in my game and I’m about to age up my infant this lot is perfect for my sim’s family!

[@acebildz1253]

My Aunt and Uncle had a small Christmas tree farm. My Aunt would craft wreaths and garlands from dried flowers and tree cones, to sell during tree season. She would also offer local jams and jellies and such, quilts, and other crafts available for sale. Those long tables on the sides would be perfect for that sort of thing. This would likely work as a retail lot. One could sell Christmas decor, pre-decorated trees, Cottage Living jams, and Eco Lifestyle candles & seltzers. Even bottles of wine. A regular holiday bazaar.

[@Ha23_L]

This reminds me of that old Mickey mouse Christmas short where he worked at a Christmas tree place and peg leg Pete was the owner - I dunno, just a memory from my childhood

[@ConfusedCorvid]

In my experience Christmas tree farms are much less uniform and more spread out. They’re basically fields with a mix of all different sizes all over with irregular spacing. I’d guess this is because you go and pick your tree so some get picked each year and others are left to grow and they plant saplings wherever gaps open up. Sometimes they have an area with specifically the large ones. They reserve some trees to grow really big for community spaces etc that want huge 5m trees. Most trees are sold when they’re between 1 and 2 meters, for in peoples’ houses. Edit: I don’t mean this to come off critical. This build is super cute and very in the Christmas spirit. I only mean this to be informative for our Floridian friends out there 🤍

[@santamaria8149]

Beautiful build! I would place it in my save and change it depeding on the season, like make a pumpkin patch for fall or flower garden for spring! If I want to hide an item that's required for a specific lot, I just build a basement with no access to it, stick it in there and forget haha

[@candiedskull9841]

Being able to watch you change your mind is nice, especially for anyone else who likes building in the Sims and other games. It's informative to see your process

[@undetestable1]

Aww bless your flordian heart. Christmas tree farms have different sized trees and different types of evergreen trees. So you don't have to use the same type of tree or the same size tree. Honestly, comparing them to the barn, the size represented in the video would be to big for most homes. Its still looks very nice.

[@frogberries]

This looks like the tree farm near my house! It looks amazing as always :)

[@theoriginldw]

it would’ve been so cute if kayla could’ve somehow incorporated a decorated truck with a tree on the back for deliveries

[@tigerprincess1109]

I found this and put it in my game as a restaurant because I just loved the Christmas theme of it. If you put in the snowy escape world on that one lot up by the mountain where it’s always snowy then it looks so good!

[@ErynVictoria]

should make it a retail lot and then you can sell the trees!!

[@skyechimes658]

I live in a place with cold snowy winters - and while it might seem counterintuitive a lot of the farms that do holiday light strolls or meet Santa events actually do have wide open windows and barn doors in most of the indoor space with minimal heating - and maybe a small room or booth for Santa with heating partially BECAUSE they don’t have a place for you to hang your coat -and most of the line or activities are outside so everyone is bundled up, and partially because their big season is not in the winter, so they aren’t built for it.

[@Grace.steele]

kayla people don't buy trees that are bigger than their house 😭 also christmas tree farms are literally farms, as in alternating stripes of different brown terrain paints or the gardening plots underneath the tress would have made it look more realistic, as well as a netting machine and the thing that shakes the trees. many farms also have a do-it-yourself option, so a bucket of saws somewhere, and a wheelbarrow or two would have also been realistic as well. you did a good job tho, esp for someone who's never seen a tree farm :)
