building in the sims but each room is a *different* pack

[@rowanisabella]

imagine you’re visiting this household irl and ask where the bathroom is and then get hit with “do you want coquette or infectious?“

This comment suddenly made sense once I got to 13:13 and all I could think was; they bring you back to a beautiful, blue suburban. Everything seems okay. They then unalive you in their creepy, dingy strangerville bathroom 😂

BRO THIS IS-

[@chelseybun]

I'd love to see you do Sarah Kendall's challenge. You decorate each room with a random pack, like this, but you cannot use that pack. So you get vampires.. you have yo use all other packs to make a room that looks like you used the vampires pack. Sorry I previously thought it was syd mac's challenge. Credit where credit is due. Both are great though

You could do a kit + base game challenge! But you ONLY use base game when a functional item isn’t included

Awesome idea! I'm going to try this

[@SiennaPineDew]

Yeasss! Genius!

[@classof13hhs]

Kayla always says “I’m trying to make this look good” or “I’m trying not to be too chaotic” but honestly these challenges are FOR the chaos. Not everything has to match and be a family house, make it chaotic and ridiculous- that’s the fun of it

[@madisonemily4083]

The chaos is definitely fun, but at the same time it’s also a challenge to try to make it functional and somewhat passable as a regular house!

[@lauraeliza1997]

Agreed. She wasn't adaptable enough for this type of challenge. Other creators do this challenge with no base game and just go with it

[@tinytigertamer]

Exactly! The chaos is part of the fun! Not every build needs to be perfect! Also, I'd love to see Kayla do more build for sims without kids. It seems like a lot of her builds include a kids room

[@cordeliaistheone]

I think Kayla's version is fun too; not everyone has to play the same way. I get so frustrated when simmers are so strict on this challenge that the rooms don't actually function. It's creative and impressive what people come up with and I do enjoy it sometimes, but it can get a little tedious for me so I was relieved that Kayla used base game too. She still used mostly items from the packs chosen. If it were me I would have done a Strangerville style bathroom using mostly decor from the pack with base game plumbing etc. so it fit in with the house more, but that's just my preference/mood rn lol sometimes I like chaotic, but sometimes I find it more satisfying to see something inspired by something but not completely following the rules. (Sorry long comment a week after yours but as an autistic person who has a complicated relationship with the concept of rules I felt the need to defend Kayla's take!)

[@MissFotini]

The yellow was working in the kitchen girl! It was so pretty, especially with the big windows making it extra sunny!

[@maryisazombie]

When she opted against the yellow, I was like noooooo 😂

[@jamaluddinkhalifa8371]

the pastel yellow with the glossy dark blue makes *me personally* gag a bit. given that nearly 500 hundred people thought it looked great suggests i need to refine my aesthetic sense.

[@asztrd]

fr it was so cute 😭

[@marisajimenez5720]

I feel like you should have embraced the challenge a little more. Like if there was only one wallpaper you have to use said wallpaper. Some rooms I feel turned into base game rooms lol. Cute build tho! Hahah.

[@annajanehesmondhalgh7261]

i agree

[@ParanoiaQueen1812]

A twist on this challenge I've found fun is you get two packs per room and have to somehow marry them into something that looks nice, you get some hectic combinations I never would have thought of otherwise! I've also found that instead of randomizing kits, just building a house with only kits can be a fun adventure in decorating

[@fancyfeet711]

Oooh this sounds fun! Might have to try that later!

[@georgecarlos5746]

I did this before with choosing 1 random expansion pack, game pack, and stuff pack. It was very interesting trying to put everything together!

[@Elgato_Acid]

20:41 i got confused thinking my phone was lagging but no lilsimsie was just really excited about a clock

[@SiennaPineDew]

I totally think would build challenges like this, it’s probably better to, instead of trying to make the whole house look cohesive, make the individual rooms look good. That way you can go all out with the unique vibe of that pack in the room, bc you’re not worried about the room matching the house

[@amelianeuman2367]

do this challenge but no base game at all other then windows,walls etc. If the pack doesn't have a toilet then the bathroom won't, because this is more of an each room is themed after a pack.

[@desaculturada]

yes!!!!!

[@baahsu]

You should do a challenge where you can't use blue swatches

[@FinnickJason]

I second this

[@lizb5298]

trying to think of another variation for an "every room is a different" maybe: every room is a different age? like u have to do a grandma themed bathroom, or baby themed kitchen, teen bedroom, adult living room for example!

[@CzarnaKotka]

For extra chaos maybe "every room is different gen"? i mean gen z, millenial etc

[@carolinabargas9916]

What if you did a challenge where each room is a different pack but you cannot use it? Example: Island Living dinning room, you have to use objects that reminds you of Island living. The idea is that the room looks as if it were from a pack but it doesn't not use any item from it. Maybe after Dan can guess which pack are you mimicking!

[@StableSisters100]

Wait how is that such a good and confusing idea at the same time lol!

A story to explain the weirdness: An eccentric famous actor retired, and had a house built for their retirement. Every room is based off of one of the films/TV shows they starred in.

[@jjaybbird]

wait thats actually a really good idea 😭😭

[@matthiasshadowblood7111]

Fun challenge idea: Same idea as this, but you spin a wheel specifically for an Expansion, Game, and Stuff pack. That way you a wide variety of items you can actually use, but you also can stick to or create a theme

[@matildaisthebestngl7035]

Next time you should spin the wheel first, and then choose what room to do based on what pack you roll! And to make it interesting you can only use that pack in the room you choose-no base game

Honestly i would love to see you do a build without any restrictions. No money limit, no pack limit, no requirements. Simply what you love and what feels right

[@waternymph99]

Next time maybe you can try this challenge without using base game to supplement! I want a funny chaotic house, not a good one lol!

[@karlashorts342]

I think it ruined the challenge a bit that you for example could use base game for the kitchen when you didn’t have the stuff needed in tiny living but idk I understand that the house needs to be functional but it isn’t really a challenge if you can do that

[@jacinim6916]

I would like to see a blended challenge where it's a random pack and a random room. Where you spin for the pack and then spin for the room.

[@pete102472]

Don’t worry about making it not look ridiculous! that’s the whole point of this challenge, that’s what makes it fun!

[@mia-ji8mh]

you know kayla's a good builder when her bowling bedroom makes you want to buy the bowling pack...

[@jennivamp5]

I think it would be cool to see a build where you have to use the 'correct' packs for each room, so for the kitchen you'd have to use home chef hustle, cool kitchen AND country kitchen kit. And for the garden you'd have to use backyard stuff, perfect patio AND romantic garden. I think it would be a fun challenge to try and make it work with all the different styles the packs have.

[@happypety6473]

challenge: have randomised few packs for a whole house - no BG, just whatever packs you're given

[@steggopotamus]

I think it should be one expansion pack, one game pack, one stuff pack, and one kit.

I think you should do this again, but without basegame AND still make it functional. So your kitchen might not have an oven, but you get a pack for a bedroom that has an oven -> oven in the bedroom

Okay ngl seeing dining room that far from kitchen gave me actual anxiety

[@steggopotamus]

As someone also with just free packs, that sounds fun. (but I also have jungle adventure and luxury party). How desperate are you for a build, is it you just want lilsimsie to make it or you're struggling to make/find your own build? If you haven't seen it people use variants on the freepacks hashtag to share builds with mostly just those packs. Other than just using the pack hashtag in the search. I feel like sahm and bean's channel/discord might be helpful for getting a build if you're actually desperate. Like, I want to treat it as a build challenge but I'm still a very new builder.

So fun! You can also try it the other way, make a bunch of rooms in different sizes and shapes and then let the pack decide what furniture comes in the room, so a small room and then you get like, dream home decorator, and a huge room with toddler or nifty knitting 😂😂😂 could also be fun!

I would love to see you do this again, and the twist is not only can you only use items from that room, but you can only build one completely at a time, including structure. It would be cool to look at it from the first person POV where you go through the door to the next room. But the next roll determines the room that comes next.

A twist on this idea, I’ve been doing a world legacy challenge for the past few months.

theory about who lives in this house: a family with one teenager who has made it big with streaming/YT. The parents let them decorate their room and office, which is why they both have midcentury decor. The teen makes home renovation content, and the parents decided to buy a fixer upper, and most of the home is done, except for the Strangerville bathroom. The teen is still defining their style, so sometimes the design choices don't make sense, like the Victorian Vampires bathroom.
