Right? I also thought that's an odd choice for the desk placement. 🙈 Especially if it's supposed to be the main inspiration for the build. 😅

[@kataratakaran5271]

I feel the false/second entry does help redirect the energy a lil, and you'd hear anyone coming in, and no one can really peek thru that little porthole window beside the main door. Not much worse than having a wall-facing desk in a deeper room, tbh

I would love to see a streamer that spends their life online in their gaming room, piles of video games, energy drinks, collectibles, and playing new games that would come in the pack (would look great with high school years); a stressed out writer surrounded by shabby stacks of paper books and clutter, furiously typing (would also partner great with the booknook kit); an entrepreneur sim with a sleek laptop, with filing cabinets, printers, TABLE/WALL PHONES!!!! and comfy meeting chairs (city living/dream home decorator match up?).

[@dennza]

Pro tip if windows don't delete. Build a room including the window and raise the platform up to the top, it'll delete it and once you delete the room and platform, it'll remain like that.

[@thegurlwiththecurls]

I don't understand 😭 sry i'm stupid😭🙏

[@rowt980]

i remember when simsie got sent two HM chairs by accident, full circle moment

[@ninalvs]

a bit off topic, but i think sometimes you should try something different from the floor plan you usually do. for example, everytime you can fit 2+ bedrooms you turn them into a kids/teen bedroom, but you could also make them music rooms, art studios, candle makers spaces, little cinemas, laundry room etc... i think sometimes making more houses with these different, but useful spaces could be really cool!!!

[@Charli_Champagne]

I understand why the sponsor seems off for Kayla’s main audience, but a chair that expensive is an investment for a gamer who makes their money from gaming, just like 1K hair scissors are an investment for hair stylists. Just a thought

[@rose_thyme1254]

As someone who Loves purple it's so funny when Kayla gets surprised by the purple swatches because I'm so personally Aware of all the good ones 😂. Really love how the build turned out!

[@sentient.dumpling]

the placement of that gaming set up bugs me a little. like i would never place my very expensive gaming stuff right in front of the apartment door and also there is the sitting with your back to the door thing😅

Another reason why someone might have two PCs is if they have a separate one for work. It's not unusual, especially if you work from home and the company owns your work computer.

A Herman Miller chair? In this economy? Nice video though, and their stuff is cool.

[@blaireshoe8738]

Yeah, the Herman Miller chairs are more expensive than my entire gaming PC (possibly even if I had bought all the parts at full price- I waited for sales on every single part, lol). I'd love to save up for one eventually but it's just not a priority, even though I sit at my desk for a lot more than 8 hours a day 😅a $20 butt pillow and a free back pillow are doing wonders for now, despite my landfill-worthy chair. Happy for her to get such a sponsor, and that she and Dan can afford them, but as you said, probably not many of us are about to buy them in this economy 😂

It's the same in my apartment, first room is the bedroom, you have to walk through the whole apartment to go to kitchen. It's really small, so it's no issue, but it's literally the last thing here, and it's not like there's more light, the smallest window is there and all the windows are on one wall 😂

can edit the wall height now, too. at least in the San Myshuno apartments. found that out when I was renovating the apartment for gen 2 of my Barbie legacy save, and it was such a game changer for me.

[@PuffleFuzz]

When was that added?

[@etherealkitsune]
