[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Agreed! I often learn about lots that I didn’t realize were a thing or that I’d just, totally forgotten about.

[@DoveJS]

I especially love seeing a bunch of the community lots renovated or made over from scratch because we have a lot of useful locations but so many packs have come out since then! Also, I kind of like the idea of renovating a single 64 x 64 in every world, or at least a 50 x 50 to be a really nice park or some other community build since most of the time I never get around to playing with mansions in my games. I'll renovate but I rarely switch to a Sim who can afford one or is already in one. One day I really should but until then, I love stuff like this which includes toddlers and pets and big activity items that go outdoors lol. Even just renovating the smaller community lots is great because so many of the older ones have holes in the roof or incomplete rooms or weird glitches with how they were built since Seasons came later. And things like the Museums and Art Galleries are just sad.

[@elu_em]

Me too, I feel like you don’t find community lots builds as easily also they’re way more difficult to do so watching someone do them gives you ideas and also you are not watching the same things over again

personally simsie, i love watching you do park builds because i never know where to start, especially with 64x64 lots like this one. watching your process helps me create my own process and be like "oh yeah, that's a good idea, i should do that" or "oh i would do that differently, i would have xyz and not abc". visuals are very helpful to me when i feel overwhelmed, so i'm very grateful for videos like this!

[@katelynk005]

her building a cemetery is my dream😭

[@anobody6564]

Wow! What a gorgeous build. As a player who's spent quite a lot of time at that lot, because it IS such a great lot, trying to remodel it, you really cooked here, girlie. Honestly the ONLY thing that it's missing is fire lamps from dining out in the outdoor areas. Ha! Anything to prevent them from freezing to death, right? I'm so, honestly, flabbergasted. I love trying to remodel in the sims 4, but you have such a keen sense of eye, style, and the drive to make it all fit and work. Whenever I try, I get so box-y and boring, creating lots too big to accommodate as many as possible, or not knowing how to go about it. Your stylization, is *chef's kiss*. Honestly only thing's I would want to add but probably don't have the capacity to is: litterbox and at least one cat tree, dining out outdoor fire warmth, a makeup table from Luxury kit or whatever, and like maybe a lemonade tray or some drink trays around but that's like it. Absolutely perfect build. Hey, is there any chance you can build me like, a super awesome house that can fit a whole entire household including say a baby, infant, dog, and/or cat? Oh you know what I'd love for the sims team to do, is fix Laundry Day because I literally am running a near 8-person household and you can't keep up on the laundry with two washers, two dryers, and two laundry baskets. Literally all it's good for is leveling up handiness skill , swear. Is Growing Together or whatever it's called worth it for the splash pads? xD ugh

[@deltapoeta]

My life also revolves around cats. My bf and I got one in July last year from a pet store, one in October last year from a friend who needed to rehome one of their cats, and then rescued one in January (we found her outside and it was getting to like -40°C so we needed to bring her in, and no one claimed her and she wasnt chipped so we kept her). So in less than a year we got three cats and yeah, life revolves around them. Id have it no other way though

[@junerussell6972]

I like the idea of having game tables that match the chess tables. I dislike the looks of all the game tables. To me, they all look like junky fold-up tables rather than something you'd want in your home. But I like having my Sims have a 4-person game they can use. So I use the nicest one and ignore how it looks.

[@junerussell6972]

By the way, the Romantic Garden video that Lilsimsie did earlier this year is one of my favorite parks! I use it all the time because it's so pretty for things like engagements.

[@ellespoonies]

That’s really funny because I have the opposite problem! I really hate how the chess tables look because they’re all so grand and formal and honestly hard to fit in with certain design styles, while the games tables being more casual and “junky” are way easier to blend in to more kitchy styles. Really depends on how you’re trying to decorate!

[@junerussell6972]

@@ellespoonies It sounds like they need better ones for each of us. You need more kitchy chess tables and I need more formal game tables! We should both get what we want (if it were up to us!)

@@ellespooniesi kinds wish chess, and board games were placeable objects like the laptops, so you can use any 1x1 table as a game table, but I also want more stuff for my sims to do with other sims so 🥲

nah, the chess tables arent any better. only one is an indoor one, and its expensive. the rest are outdoor ones you find bolted to the ground in a public park, not suited for a private home. what i wish is that they'd just make a chess board and a deck of cards that you can place on any 1x1 table in the game (granted we need more of those too)

[@StragProductions]

I almost always hire bartenders for my sims' parties. I always give their houses bars (sometimes a cheap fold out one in the garden and sometimes a 4 tile professional one if they're rich) and then concentrate the party in that general area. It makes meeting party goals a lot easier imo because there's usually one about having sims drink. I don't really bother with caterers, though. My sims often like to cook for themselves so I just drag surplus dishes out of the fridge and put them on the table for guests to grab.

I really wish the Sims Build mode had a “saved items” tab so you could pick your items from build/buy and drop them there like an inventory so they were easy to grab but off the lot and out of the way so you could put your items you’ll use down and then build without having to work around them. I know sims have a household inventory but a lot of times when I build I’m in manage worlds so a different type of inventory would be great.

2:30 - Think of it like layers like in Photoshop. The lot and its content is one layer, and the world layer is below it. We can do whatever we want on the lot, but we cannot edit the world layer. So the terrain paint isn't stuck on the lot, it's placed on the world layer, hence we can't edit it.

That things evolving around cats sounds so relatable. When in 2019 the water pump produced smoke in the basement and we had to call the fire brigade, me and my mum went obviously outside, but we couldn't find our only living cat Saku 🐈 . I urged (I had never raised my voice as much) the first responders to pick him up, but they completely ignored me. There wasn't actually a fire. But even today I feel upset towards the firefighters even though Saku is fine (turned 19 recently). Our mother and daughter cat pair Macy (we spell it Meisi) and Fluffy had passed away due to cancers not long before that incident.

[@Celbrant_Artist]

Yeah, vending machines are fairly normal in the parks near my neighborhood. Literally I've seen them placed near the restrooms and the playground. I think it's to entice families to buy drinks at the park and kids are more likely to ask their parents for one. The majority of machines I've seen are mainly soda machines and I rarely ever seen a snack machine at a park.
