i let my VIEWERS decide my entire sims build

[@ashmcewen5451]

it’s not a “chat decides my build” challenge without a moat, bookcase door, or cupcake machine 😂

[@princesslaisha2615]

And a rooftop garden 😂

[@Mielikkiii]

so you are telling me that my general aesthetic that I was lovingly calling Baba Yaga apprentice can be also called Shrek academia? This is truly lifechanging

[@RaRaxx3]

Omg Baba Yaga apprentice is iconic lmao

[@frenchtoast013]

Lmao I may have to borrow Baba Yaga apprentice when I finish my transformation 😂

[@harmonicaveronica]

Honestly I think it would be reasonable to take a week or two off after the charity stream is done! It's pretty common among folks who work office jobs to take time off after a busy season. I know it can be hard to take more extended time off when you have to contend with the algorithm, though. Which often means working extra to make videos ahead of time, which isn't ideal if you're alredy busy. Maybe you could line up having smaller creators make guest videos for the channel, maybe on some kind of theme?

[@NikkiandFred]

Kayla, you need to prioritize yourself, your family and your mental health. We will be here waiting for you with open arms. Please don't ever think that your videos are more important. If we have to wait, we will wait. ❤❤

[@EricasTouch]

I think she will after her monthly fundraiser ends at the end of May.

[@NikkiandFred]

@@EricasTouch I hope she does. She'd deserve it. She's at like $388,000 (as of 4pm Saturday 5-25)

[@ultraviolet3826]

Completely reinforce this!! The community cares so much about you they will not penalise you for taking some time for your self and your family!!

[@jenniferhelmersson570]

She said on Thursdays stream that she'll take a few days off after the charity streams are finished thankfully ❤ She definitely deserves it 🥰

And even if she does not end her fundraising event this year, considering what's happening, I hope people will understand and don't get mad. She already did more than a big lot of people with this event, no matter what.

[@sirgaykrovos]

happy to know Snappy is doing better and sending hope and prayers to your grandpa, you, and your family ❤

[@EllaABo]

This is one of the best builds you’ve ever done! Also, please take care of your mental health and spend time with your family. They are so much more important than video number 62,091, even if we do enjoy the videos.

hey, I don't usually comment but I went through something similar earlier this year. my grandpa was in the hospital for almost two weeks so I can imagine how hard this must be for you

[@eloisesings]

Please could you do an “everything is not as it seems house”? One that’s functional with items being used for different uses than what they were intended for, hidden rooms, secret gardens, confusing layouts, completely different exterior & interior, etc, etc??? Love your videos xxxxxxx

[@low_poly_kat]

you can always count on chat to choose the most chaotic choice possible but I genuinely think this house turned out really cute regardless of the chaotic choices ! also, like a lot of other people have said, please take care of yourself, & don't worry about missing uploads 💖

[@SunflowerSpectre]

Love seeing the cat cameo behind Kayla at the beginning of the video

[@kuromikillz]

my grandma is in the hospital right now too kayla, i’m sorry it genuinely sucks really bad and it’s super scary. i hope your grandpa gets better soon, do not push yourself to make videos everyday if you feel like you need a break! we will still be here when you get back if you decide you need a little break. no worries at all, your family and personal life is more important than silly sims videos. with that being said, this build is so beautiful!!! i love this style, please make more lots with this kind of vibe. i know it’s not your favorite style but you excel in it to be honest :D lots of love x 🖤

[@rachelblumeyer2765]

Kayla, I've followed you for years now. This last year you are really getting out of your comfort zone. I AM LOVING IT! I will be downloading this build. It's fabulous; it's perfection!

[@SimsLegacy5083]

Oh friend, you are SO underselling TOOL 🤭! In a build I did recently I took one of the HUGE debug buildings that you see in the world and made it small enough to fit on a desk as decoration. TOOL is the mod I never knew I needed and now can't live without! Very nice build❤

[@indecisive.325]

ooh like a lego set people will put on their desks in real life?

[@theekatspajamas]

​@indecisive.dice.roll.325 this plus op's comment just gave me the idea to make like a miniature model train town with the tool mod

[@KittyCat260]

I've been learning how to use TOOL recently but it's got a hell of a hit and miss success rate for me 😂 watching Caryn and Connie videos got me to download and try it but I think I probably manage to do what I want with it about 2 times out of 10 🤣

[@Silverfur01]

the TOOL mod has saved me such a headache with placing curtains! can't live without it now lol

[@SimsLegacy5083]

@@indecisive.325 I just did the one building but I bet you could do something like that!

[@stormwright8300]

Kayla, I hope you know that even if you use TOOL, objects stay that way in the build. No one would need to download TOOL to be able to use one of your builds if you did use it. And it's an amazing mod that makes things so much easier. TOOL and BBB are the only mods I ever use

[@tarshawhitting106]

I love all your builds Kayla..i get a lot of inspiration from them! I love your videos so much that while I'm at work, I'm thinking about what I'm going to build or redecorate on my sims game when I should be concentrating on my job! 😂 😅 I watch your videos before I go to work and when I get back home too! You're such an inspirational speaker to me and I love you! And thanks for all the tips you explain in your videos!

[@tarshawhitting106]

And oh yeah..my name on the gallery is ms bash em38! I have built and redecorated a lot of buildings in my game and I love them all and I'm so proud of them all! Take a look at them when you have a chance! They're not as great as yours but I'm learning more every day after watching your videos.. especially the ones about roofing houses and wrap around porches!

[@thenowhere2]

@17:00 having more size increments for bigger and smaller scale is one of the many things i have on my ‘what I wish for the Sims 4 in 2024 list” I really hope this one gets implemented, and an update to the phone, and MORE functional lots in almost every world. as well as more functional objects. Those are up there for me, and there’s already been more functional objects 🤞 Edit: Oh can’t forget bug fixes and game stability❕‼️, that’s just basic foundation, basically #0. Very glad it’s being addressed, I haven’t updated to the late May patch to get experience the improvements yet!

[@flower_child.3]

you're twitch streams are sooo goated ive been popping in all week 🤍🤍

[@NishDontGame]

[@CJbuiilds]

20:29 Kayla, don’t rush to get the videos out. I can tell you’re having a hard time right now with you as I know how you feel, don’t worry, we can wait a couple more days to weeks I do that for different storytime animators anyway you’re great 🤍😊

[@huhbear]

I just realized this is my third year of Simsie St Jude fundraising month!😻 I'm still too intimidated by twitch but I love watching the VODs to unwind or keep me company - so if anyone here is like me but don't want to miss out, you can watch all the streams at your own pace on More Simsie!

[@kimberlysmith8447]

The outside of this build is EVERTHING. It's saying "come into my swamp!"

[@Aquee_101]

Hey Kayla, you can absolutely take time off. Don't stress yourself to stream and upload every day. You can slow your schedule, we'll all happily wait so you can focus on yourself and your family.

[@hellsbellsmichelle]

I hope your grandpa and Snap are well. As for you, sometimes you need to say NO. Put yourself, your family, and loved ones first, and take a break. We'll all still be here when you find yourself in a more content place. I once read a home-decor book who stated - start with the rug. Find a rug that you love, and decorate your room around the rug. It's easier to do that than to find a rug to suit the already complete room.

[@kylehendricks695]

In afrikaans there's a saying, "jy het a warme mond" which translates to "you have a hot mouth", what it refers to is when a person tends to talk things into existence unintentionally. Kayla has a warme bek, i fully expect KZbin or twitch to go down in flames soon 😂. The amount of times I've experienced Kayla talk about packs and features way before they're implemented really is sus, I guesss that's why people think she has an insider at maxis or something. Nope, she's just got a hot mouth

Have you ever thought about building in the sims using AI as a challenge? I recently discovered that chatGPT can design simple floor plans. It could be fun to let it design a build and try to recreate it in the sims 4. I once let it choose house style, color scheme and even furniture. It was way worse than I expected lol. I guess AI won't steal architect's jobs anytime soon. Ha ha 😂
