building olive garden in the sims lol

[@ginasndergaard2709]

don’t worry about using multiple packs, most of it is replaceable with other packs once you download the lot, and it makes for so much more interesting builds

[@Annitscha]

Yes exactly! I love when she goes all out and uses many packs 👏🏼 I personally have all the packs but even if I didn't I wouldn't mind since as you said most objects are replacable

[@cloiebuggeater]

I have about 3 packs, and when I download her builds, the game replaces most missing stuff with base game. I had to replace a few things, but it's really not much of an issue.

[@Elizabeth-xj6yl]

As an Italian, regular supermarket pasta but cooked at the moment is perfect, I'm not saying it's a bad restaurant or anything because I've never been there. We just don't like the idea of Olive Garden because most of the things it sells aren't actual Italian dishes, they're only Italian-American inspired maybe. And also it seems too specific, Olive Garden seems inspired only by central and southern Italy (because of the building style and the name, they're the only places that have olives) so I doubt it has any northern dishes but I might be wrong. Like I don't think it sells polenta (cornmeal), ham, veal, vegetable soup, pumpkin risotto etc...

[@angelmarie7010]

@@Elizabeth-xj6yl I have been an avid Olive Garden person since I was 6, the extent of the menu is alfredo, red sauce items, the obvious soup, salad, and breadsticks, and pretty much nothing else. It’s very Americanized, and imo the quality has gone down over the years. If you ever get a chance to go, asking for alfredo dipping sauce for the breadsticks. Idk what it is about a cup of alfredo and those breadsticks but man is it the star of the show.

i'm italian and i was following you and seeing your videos for a looong time. I won't stop now. I struggle a lot to build a decent "american look like " house so I won't blame you if your restaurant will be too american, like I suppose "olive garden" actually is. I think that, although is thought as an Italian restaurant, is for american people who fancy to have dinner in a pleasant italian atmosphere, but you're in US, so they have to melt the tastes of two cultures to meet the customer's ones. I'm always inspired by your creations. Sorry for my poor english. A big hug from Rome!

Hi Kayla! Firstly, genius idea! Secondly, how long has the mannequin glitch been going on? Kelsey Dangerous was able to download a castle with a mannequin in it for her Rags to Richhes challenge a few months ago. She didn't put it there after the fact because she (and all of us) were like why is this weird mannequin here in this castle? She had trouble deleting it- maybe related to the glitch?- but was eventually able to do so. Anyway, thanks for making our Sims' pre-prom and post-graduation dreams come true!

[@simudia]

OMG, kayla THANKS for this hint regarding game crashes if a mannequin is on the lot. I was trying for ages placing a lot, which I already have in older save files, but every single times, my frickin' game crashes.

[@echung168]

You know, I don't hope for *more* kits but we're probably getting them anyways. Since Kayla mentions how she wants more fairy lights type items in build mode, what about a kit designed around the children and teens of the gameplay and build? I think it would be the perfect opportunity to add more string/fairy lights.
