"I want this to look nice" "What if we made it gross" The duality of Sims

[@MonsterUnderBed_]

Pro tip: you can use the jungle adventure public bathrooms, which have showers and toilets. For only 0 simoleons

[@Sytrylt]

Right I remember doing that once !! And the trash chute from city living works and is 0 simoleons too, if i'm not mistaken

[@AKA_Studios]

Thank you for the tip! I often use the public bathrooms for my budget tiny home builds but still build showers. This is a game changer

[@swantsa]

@@SytryltI think the city living mailboxes are free too!

[@tom_ur_mom]

@@swantsa actually all mailboxes are free

[@Izzilettuce15]

I think that would count as cheating though for it being outside, in one of her videos when she was building a house, she said that if she put stuff outside it'd be cheating so I assume it has the same concept for this.

[@kingboo_8304]

simsie: *builds cute retro diner style house* also simsie: *turns the cute house into an almost falling apart gross molding house*

[@ronahagoo7041]

Everytime I think you’ve made a house the cheapest it can be, you make it cheaper

One day she’ll make a house for negative simoleans.

@@theincompleterealm1582 yess only with dumpster finds

[@amberb.6395]

@@theincompleterealm1582 honestly, you probably could. There’s a lot in Get Famous that costs zero simolens. And then using debug, you can create an almost fully functional house. Then if you use lot traits from eco lifestyle, I believe you can sell water and power because you won’t use any. I’m not 100% on this though, but I feel like I should test it out now lol

[@Rin_Morris]

​@@Auggie26 I think that was one of the challenges she did with Stanley

[@becnoremac-mail7307]

On the last day of May, build a house for all the money you raised for St Jude.

[@thomasm123]

Ooooh nice idea

[@theanyktos]

hell yeah!

[@headsonthefritz]

I support this!

[@akire0398]

Omg great idea!!!

[@NaishiYT]

This is an amazing idea! We gotta keep commenting this on her videos!!

[@lickthismiff]

You can paint sections of the "wall" by using multiple roof sections. Also pro tip, you can build inside the rooves, and if you curve them up, most of the floor space inside them becomes useable. I use glass roof pieces to make greenhouses all the time.

[@sarajanelafleur8796]

kayla should do a build where she tries to hit $100000 exactly

[@michibeechi]

@shmimimi as far as i know she did one for $1m but not $100k

[@mayla789]

Can you make a similar home that looks like it’s in the back of a van like the food truck from your challenge? I’d love to have sims who are “van life” people.

[@yara_muffin]

😂 that would be great

[@arielmanela7641]

That would be fun!

[@JamesLacroixx]

Sims live in a van down by the river challenge?

[@Iris_Collins]

A cheap home looking like it's in the back of a van down by a river?

[@freddie.spaghetti]

the logical next step seems to be an attempt at a free house. like using debug, and you gotta make it the closest thing to functional without spending a single simoleon. could be an interesting challenge👀

[@tigerprincess1109]

James Turner actually did something like this. Turned out to be interesting but he did it 😂

[@lolwhat3239]

@@tigerprincess1109 i think plumbella did too

[@laurenjefferson9323]

i think syd mac also did something like this

[@bumblebeagan]

when you were looking for a trashcan, the apartment trash chute was available before you sold the bike! it acts like an outdoor trashcan

[@candle3585]

I use that one all the time

[@ShannonRose99]

I screamed internally when she scrolled past them and deleted the bike lol

[@JamesLacroixx]

@@ShannonRose99 Omg me too lmao I kept hoping she would go back and realize! I literally use that thing constantly it's way easier than outdoor trash anyway.

[@meriadriao]

i love these house challenges, it's perfect for rags to riches let's plays (specially if you're like me: can't build but hates to see all the furniture in the open lmao)

[@marieduran6286]

The apartment trash chute is zero simoleans. Also in debug, there is a fishing sign, you can make a small pond and put out a fishing sign, or get the magical tree to the Sylvan Glade. What I also like to do is put out the parma grant tree from Snowy Escape, they cost nothing, but you can eat the fruit or sell it. I think I also saw a pee bush in there for free.

[@drkwvrvn9956]

to make the shell cheaper use a roof and round the top (like the shape of a hoop greenhouse) then you don't need ANY walls. Just pop a door in the front. I like to use glass roofs either partially or in sections so that i don't need lights during the day, and it just looks like you're living in a green house. You can then drag the roof to make it as long as you want so things will fit better (for free). If I want to save space, I make an outdoor shower and use debug plants to fill everything out. After that I go nuts with terrain paint. You can even use terrain paint for your floor INSIDE as well (like a brick paving) and it's also free.

[@Jillybean1234]

Me-It looks really nice. Simsie-MAKE IT MOLDY

[@Poppynator]

The first color scheme was actually really nice 😊🥲

[@-Spinach_Soup-]

Yeah

[@DulceReposa]

The fact that she made the shower right in front of her front facing windows with no curtains is hilarious

[@cynthialee6506]

i love this it looks like a teen/student moved out for the first time and the big shelf works because they dont mind scrounging for food but splurging on plants because it gives them a sense of life and purpose 😌🤝

[@henrique-rm2pm]

isnt the debug trash shoot functional? because if yes you could get the trash functionality for free

[@kindersarg69]

these are my favorite type of lilsimsie videos so i appreciate that this was posted on my birthday :)

[@cucamongaphilips]

And as a fun bonus; those cute little statues are functional lumps of clay and have emotional auras--as does the fish.

[@cucamongaphilips]

I think I would just make the whole thing a roof, and bow it out to be like a barn. That's what I do for sheds and greenhouses. I can't see any reason you couldn't make it bigger and use it for a house.

[@River_X2_]

Some of those debug stones are the way that sims can't walk on them. I noticed this when I downloaded one of your houses where you used those as walk ways. So they don't really work in the way you intend them to work.

[@yara_muffin]

Kayak NEEDS to do a build inspired by Snap ❤❤ it would be sooo cute! Also there would be NO pack restrictions 😂

[@vanillasundaes]

This comment needs to blow up!!! I love this idea❤

[@fionnaandcakecosplay]

Wait, is there an inside joke I don’t know about where people call Kayla “kayak” or is that a genuine misspelling? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just confused

[@thomasm123]

Yep, it's an inside joke. I think it started with an autocorrect typo a commenter made once and then people thought it was funny and started doing it on purpose :)

[@yara_muffin]

@@vanillasundaes thank you 😊

[@cherrykoIa]

Hey, Kayla,I just thought of an idea for rags to riches, the presents from the Christmas tree, u can open them and sell the gifts for money!

[@butterfox863]

Pro tip: In debug theres a free household base game plant apart of snowy escape & in jungle adventure theres free pots in debug with plants in them too

[@HeyitsSmim]

3:50 Simsie: It's kinda retro diner vibes Me: It's kinda grippy socks vibes

[@kat7429]

If you round the roof, barn-style, and add a door, you can have two more rooms. As others have said, sell the bush and use the debug public bathroom to afford the door(s). The trash chute doesn't seem to work for me. I only get the option to upgrade.

[@bailey8624]

She never stops with the budgets

[@cassiopeaknack]

I’d recommend either the grass roof or solar panel roof (the actual roof not the panels that cost money) because with the grass you’ll have water so you’ll pay less bills or with the sun panel it’s the same but electricity

[@writerspen010]

You can get the roof to look better if you use the half-hipped (I forget what it's called) on the corners, just fyi. That type is great for creating mansard roofs and would make this build exterior look more finished imo

[@kawaiipiggy4456]

Roofs in the sims 4 are some of my favorite things to build with especially for Rags to riches. They can be very versatile and can also make some pretty interesting pop out windows.

[@classicengineer3331]

I actually love the idea of making a house that seems worn out or old would love to see you go all out with building an old dirt house or a starter house and we can pretend that it belongs to a theif or someone in the criminal career..

[@devwev3907]

Tip for garbage can, u can use the garbage schute from city living it’s functional and u don’t need an outdoor trash can

[@taylacollins764]

Sydmac did a build series on her channel called bloomcrest, where each build went up in price in newcrest. It would be cool to see you try something like that.

[@dowhatmakesyouhappiest198]

I would loooove to see simsie build a house boat, that would be really cool :)

[@tigerprincess1109]

Eco lifestyle is an amazing pack for everything. Speaking of that I've had it for quite awhile now and never knew it came with a bike.

[@lucaagrande]

I believe you got the bike if you pre-ordered Eco Lifestyle.

[@tigerprincess1109]

@@lucaagrande probably explains why I've never known about it or seen one. I've always used the ones from University.

[@mewichigo21794]

I think the bike is obtained through dumpster diving (or debug if you want to cheat) I think the expansion pack pre order bonuses started with cottage living

[@brubs2556]

You could always just make a separate roof section, and paint that part with a tile on the inside, so it would look the same on the outside, but different on the inside

[@Kindr3dVillain]

Love this house so much. No idea how you do stuff like this. I am definitely unable to make a house that is that good looking and cheap. 😂

[@moldybre_d]

Simsie can do anything at this point

[@adriennebogatie9795]

[@Squashy_The_Bear349]

Hey simsie! Thank you so much for everything you do for us! I love your content and you’re such a Talented builder!

[@angiekrebs]

You should do a $1000 budget for indoor and $1000 for outdoor build!

[@deadlyasylum]

This a frame house is similar to the one I live in now. The roof of the house touches the ground. But this house isn't insulated enough, it was built in the 60s I believe.

Hey I just wanna say I love to watch your videos on Sims 4 builds and they inspire me to create something of my own and I hope you keep on keeping on making more Sims videos :) I'm not a good builder myself when it comes to this game but you make it fun and interesting with your builds and the challenges you put into the game 😊

[@KimberlyCaldwell-xb2if]

Hey girl I just downloaded the sims 4 a short time ago. I Started watching your channel for tips it's been so helpful for builds. Ps I just built a house with "those cute sculpures" and my sim used them it's the lump of clay sims fish out. They can mold them my sims love them to the point that it's a problem 😂

[@CGI_Andy]

Based off what other comments are saying. this could be slightly more cheaper but also if you have the rule that stuff can't be outside then I guess this is the best.

I wasn't expecting to have a 1000 dollar house to be this big actually. I would start with 3x3 walls but yes, roofs costs zero.

[@hollowforest]

I’m pretty sure you can get a City Living rug/floor decal thing for about $0 in debug

[@nyquitacharles9146]

Would've been nice to add separate roof pieces and make one or two the glass texture. So its more window like.

[@mariannlarrivee2156]

Maybe this place used to be a small old dinner they flipped into a home. Actually that could be a challenge itself, making a dinner exactly that size.

Pro tip: I’ve seen you get out of build mode to change the lights but you can hold down shift and then click the light you want to turn on and boom, but **i do have a special color swatch mode so I’m not sure if it’s apart of that**

[@spiritedsamph]

That's part of the Better Build Buy mod. You can't change lighting in build mode without mods unfortunately.

what if to finish off your month of raising money for st jude you built a house using exactly (or as close to exactly lol) the amount of money you raise 👀

Kayla really sold the bike when she could have used a trash shoot

[@Lucysrustycar]

you coulve split the roof in 2 pieces where the shower was so u could paint the single wall tile and the rest wallpaper
