i built a giant hotel in the sims 4

[@errorpedia]

i believe kayla when she says she doesn't get told any secrets by the sims team. instead, i believe that the sims team only listens to feedback when it's in a powerpoint format

[@Space-Milk]

I feel like when they need a new pack idea the first person they go to is Kayla 😭 they just watch all her videos and are like “let’s see what she’s interested in now” and if she’s not asking for anything then they go to others 😂

Well, Deli did that and we got nice base game wall swatches. Granted, her presentation had a lot more, but it kinda worked.

I wish she could do a huge waterpark one day. Multiple pools and saunas. It will be so cool

[@gr33ngirlsea]

Ooh, that'd be sooo cool!!

[@rafael285pc]

but hopefully she add a restaurant in it

[@ateenipeterson]

That would be a cool pack idea - water park/amusement park?! Idk how it would work but massive slides and rollercoasters sound cool

[@roseamelia6592]

I might be misremembering but I’m pretty sure she’s built something like that before 🤔 not with the packs we have now tho, so I’m down for this idea!!

[@ReputationSwiftieAlways]

To bad there aren’t water slides :( i wish they would add that

[@UnassumingLlama]

I think this might be the one of, if not THE longest speed build Kayla’s ever done and I’m here for every second of it

[@Who_is_jules]

Yes hahahha

[@alejandraludmilacastro2]

i think her longest builds were some of her old ones, where she usually did like a four part mini-series of her building some sort of massive build, and she didn't cut anything out, so the videos were like 40+ min long.

[@Aeris357]

This was about 12 hours of stream time, there’s four parts to it

This looks *exactly* like a lodge we would stay at during winter breaks when I was a kid. I live in Norway, so staying in the mountains for a weekend ski trip is really common during colder seasons, and the similarity is almost uncanny lol.

[@Dweeb_Unit]

this isnt the biggest thing to take from this video, but I'm so happy you are slowly introducing your cats to each other. I feel like everyone I hear from just tosses cats together as if that isn't a completely messed up way to do it. Thank you for taking your time with the process. Loved the build!!

[@francesbarkley1747]

anyone who is interested in modding to get a hotel-like experience: I HIGHLY recommend littlemssam's auto employee mod that will auto generate spa employees, bartenders, vendors, etc. That way you don't have to classify your lot type to get certain employees. It is one of my must have mods in general!

[@junerussell6972]

I have frequently put pools in the basements of my Sims' houses. But one of the problems with doing that is that you can't use them in the winter! One of the biggest reasons for wanting an indoor pool is to be able to swim in the winter. When you do that in the Sims, your Sims act like the basement pool is outdoors. I don't know how that would work in Komorebi, but in the other worlds, it doesn't work.

[@amidnightblue]

Wait, indoor pools don't work in the winter? What is the point then? I've just been building a huge mansion with both indoor and outdoor pools specifically so the sims can swim year round! Yet another poorly implemented feature in this goddamn broken game 😫 Did some googling: there's a bug report for it on EA's Answers HQ ( [OPEN] [S] Indoor pool has greyed out options in freezing weather ). Current workarounds are the geothermal lot trait from Eco Lifestyle, and apparently one of the pool colour options from Get Together or Jungle Adventure actually functions like a hot spring (which seems like a really weird feature to me).

[@natatatt]

This build is gorgeous! Probably the most beautiful build I've seen from you since I started watching this channel.

It reminds me of all the cozy northwoods lodges I've stayed in or visited, and I mean that so fondly. Maybe I'll have to fill in my missing packs just so I can download this build!

[@etgalaxydog5121]

You could totally use this as like a friends trip and they all have rooms and just pretend there’s other sims in unseen rooms😅❤

[@Foundlilly11]

The only thing I miss in this build is a changing room where you can store ski´s. In hotels like this you store your shoes and ski´s usually in a common, heated room so the material can dry when you are not using it.

this build brought me a lot of joy to watch because my dad played the first ever sims game before i was born and one of the things he always tells me he did was build disney’s wilderness lodge after my parents honeymooned there!! i was even thinking your build reminded me of it so when you said it i nearly screamed. he had a blast building it and then eventually he passed the games down to me where i’m now 22 watching simsie build a wilderness lodge inspired hotel 4 games later. it reminded me that the sims really is such a timeless game series. thanks for sharing the joy to us with your builds, kayla! :)

[@mirandastirle5601]

This build/video feels so nostalgic for me. Kayla bringing up Lifesimmer and the overall style of the build reminds me of The Sims 3 speed builds I used to watch and love for years before The Sims 4 eventually came out and I got it. The Sims 4 was my first Sims game on pc (I played The Sims FreePlay before any other Sims game which is admittedly an odd start to the Sims franchise) but The Sims 3 videos I used to watch and obsess over will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ Such good vibes in this build, I love it!

[@CherryDoughnut]

2x2 room, add the elevator, copy the room with the elevator. Worked for me when I built a fake apartment building. Sometimes adding an additional elevator kind of glitches the game and you can't save but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes exiting the lot with the elevators and saving works but sometimes it doesn't. That was several updates ago though so dunno if it works now or not but I still have the elevators there and it's a functional lot. The elevators are obviously only decoration though

[@Avlillustrations]

You can also make fake and functional elevators using the portals from realm of magic

[@Syzygyzzz]

[@bradhott19]

I can honestly say that Kayla and Deligracy are main reason I have so many packs. Bc I see them use items or upload builds to the gallery and I want them complete so I wait till I can buy the pack. And now I work so much I barely have any time to actually play so I get my Sims fix by watching videos of other people play. Lol.

[@lixyororke]

With the new for rent pack you might be able to make this into a "hotel" that your sims stay in long-term! Like, move here for a couple seasons as a "vacation". But, if we're lucky, there might be a way to make multi-family-homes into vacation lots. It's super unlikely that they'd let us do that, but we can hope! And, if all else fails, someone will try make a mod lmao

[@allscalebrushworx5679]

*How To Make a Fake Elevator in the Sims* 1. make a 4x4 on each floor you want the elevator (4x4 rooms must be directly on top of eachother) 2. place ladders inside the room so sims can go up and down the elevator 3. decorate elevator, make elevator doors and decorate the inside 4. your elevator should look like: 4x4 room with a door and ladders inside, decorated to look like elevator

[@chickennuggetpaw]

I’m in the middle of reading Stephen King’s The Shining, and I’m obsessed with the idea of making this lot into a vacation rental and acting out the plot of The Shining with Sims. (For anyone unfamiliar, in The Shining, the family ends up in the hotel over the winter bc Jack got a job there to maintain the hotel on its off season. So, in the Sims you could easily pretend to do that using the vacation rental system.) It’s too bad I don’t have the Snowy Escapes pack.

[@gr33ngirlsea]

I've always been interested in movie/play recreations in The Sims. How do you guarantee that your Sims will hit the plot points?

[@chickennuggetpaw]

@@gr33ngirlsea I don’t know lol, it would be my first time trying it. I’m guessing you’d have to put them on “puppet mode” or whatever it’s called when you take away their autonomy 💀 (I can’t remember if you can do that in the sims 4 because I’ve never looked for it in the settings but you can in the sims 3)

[@infestedribcage]

I’ve got family that used to come here for vacation and when I was younger, they’d have me stay with them at the different Disney resorts and omg. The Wilderness Lodge was a DREAM. Entering the lobby was so insane, I’d felt like I’d teleported out of Florida and into the mountains. I didn’t want to leave. Obviously, since I live here, I haven’t ever been back, but I would if I could. It’s definitely my favorite out of all the resorts.

I grew up in a skii resort town. I think you actually pulled up the one from my home. The skii resort where I lived had a waterpark, spa, cafe, bar, library, gift shop, hotel (duh), gym. Skii rental (duh), huge conference rooms, a huge venue areas for weddings, and behind it there was a mini village with more bars, an old style candy shop, clothing shops, and others I never actually went into. There was also a restaurant on the top of the mountain. I went to the spa once because my mom was given tickets to it as a gift for being a generally kind and helpful person. The pool was so cool! It was a year round heated pool that was split in half by a wall, but the wall did not go into the pool, so you could swim under the wall and go outside. So yeah. Just so you know what I know about. I got further into the video. There are plenty of hotels with twins. Ours does have rooms with twins, single it was a family friendly resort, so the tins are for kids.

Living in a ski area with countless resorts i gotta say you did an amazing job!

I've spent some time studying interior design and there is a huge debate about whether to place TV at the same wall as the fireplace.
