I think a creepy wedding venue makes sense. The pack is Life and Death, and for many people weddings are a big part of life ☺️

[@stevegoatman1049]

You’re a genius. That’s such a good idea :o

[@josey.bri.v4492]

Kayla I need a wedding venue because I am making a family just for the daughter to date and marry Nyon.

[@erikasuttle409]

I like the idea of a creepy venue it sounds awesome

[@HimeLunaMoon]

Omg yes,irl one of my friends had a gothic wedding it was so beautiful

[@CeraisianAlchemist]

I made some of the funeral venues double as wedding spots.

[@theeverythingkid]

New library? Yes Creepy wedding venue? Absolutely Also, plain fairy lights should be added to the base game

[@isabelsteiner]

In the gallery if you search “debug sims session lights” they are in the base game since there was an event held that had those. If you just place the room and take the lights you have them!!

[@kelsidysinger7667]

There are some in debug that you can get! People upload them to the gallery to make it easier. She’s talked about it in a couple videos

[@evypilled]

There are some in debug. it really helps to download tmex's "better build buy" mod if you play on PC.

[@theeverythingkid]

There might be debug ones in the gallery because as a console player, debug and miss aren't available. Console players are lucky we have cheats now

[@ThegamergirlTee]

@@theeverythingkid yes yes and YES

[@karkat14]

Love your other ideas! Creepy wedding venue is so fun

[@karkat14]

It could be grimsie’s!

[@Lunar_Tokki]

100% agree! all her other ideas sounded so fun!

[@snow_bird_0205]

Fun fact about poppies! (17:56) In Greek mythology poppies are often used as a symbol of Thanatos, the god of death who the Grim Reaper is often modeled after! So having the poppy flower in a pack centered around death and after death is very fitting!

[@tabisvilasboas]

i love fun facts about greek mythology

[@vfin]

THE BUILDINGS IN THE PACK ARE ROMANIAN INSPIRED??? i have the pack but i couldn’t play yet bc of the uni stuff, now as an int. arch. student hearing the architectural style is inspired by romanian architecture has made my day bc i have a romanian friend who is also studying architecture related major😭😭 we’re both archi nerds and talk about it constantly😭 now i can send him the buildings in the pack and get his opinions LMAO

[@UnassumingLlama]

This whole comment is so cute and wholesome

[@ashley-xq2fy]

I think it's Romanian Revival specifically!

[@unfortunatelyiamsane]

report back w his opinions pls 🤠

[@sarathesimmersarathesimmer1300]

Ayyee I’m Romanian & dude I’m so hype about this

[@PinkSinsila]

I respect the choice of not bringing infants/toddlers to other lots. When I was first playing with my legacy I was trying to get the babies more involved into everything but the adults refused to cooperate so I just accepted that the babies won't be a real part of the family until they're children. I love the build! I put it in my savefile the moment I finished watching the stream VOD, I also had my sims get engaged there! Had some lovely screenshots thanks to you!

[@ShadoeLandman]

The only way I’d take infants or toddlers is if the lot has a daycare area, and that still wouldn’t really work in a restaurant.

[@tylerf.145]

i love the creepy wedding venue idea!! i would love to see a few small houses on one of the lots in town so that they kind of blend into the houses in town

[@traviss3nte11]

please please please more building! and i can say for myself at least i don’t mind when you go over budget or use lots of packs

[@ILuvAyeAye]

I would LOVE a creepy library and wedding venue! Particularly library, a big part of the gameplay around bucket lists relies on a computer, which makes it difficult when your Sim can't afford one yet. I've been breaking into one of the nice houses and using their computer but there's got to be a better way.

[@UnassumingLlama]

There’s a $20 journal that you can use for the bucket list too! If you have parenthood, it also works as an emotional journal

[@ceasebaby]

Endometriosis? I feel you. I have PCOS. Getting a diagnosis was like “ohhh!! that’s why I feel like I’m going to die??”

[@UnassumingLlama]

PCOS bestie! I just got diagnosed a couple months ago, hope the best for you too 🫡

[@ceasebaby]

@ Thanks babe, you too! There’s a really great PCOS community here on youtube. I watched a ton of creators who give great tips to not let it control your whole life. Already making huge improvements. It can be so debilitating but it’s manageable!

[@UnassumingLlama]

@ I’ll have to check it out, thank you!

[@tabithatidd9024]

I literally just had surgery on Friday and finally found 7 lesions +scar tissue and paratubal cysts. It’s bittersweet but I’m happy that I don’t feel crazy anymore 💛🎗️

[@ceasebaby]

@@tabithatidd9024 holy crap! I’m so sorry it even got to that level! I hope you heal up and have a healthy journey from here on out!

[@venusflycowplant]

Oh I love that you thought of making a restaurant! That was the first thing I thought of in this world simply bc I thought of naming it The Ghastropub 😂😂

[@crepezzzzz]

excellent pun 10/10

[@kalaharidown]

Such a great build 🤎 great that you have a diagnosis for your endo, so validating when it happens - hope you're doing okay!

[@xgeocos]

I absolutely love the idea of a spooky, gothic style wedding venue

[@ShadoeLandman]

Yesss, imagine a crumbling cathedral, asylum, etc 😮

[@SilvaInLumine]

I'd LOVE to have a simsie bingo card 😍. 'I think i'll put a Chesstable outside' 'The hallway is a great spot for a desk' 'Just a little terrain paint as a finishing touch' 'I did not mean to make it this expensive' 'Trust the process' 'oh no, why is this game doing this' 'It's the Sims 4, so of course nothing matches' 'WHY is this dence doing this?' 'Oh no, I haven't saved yet' 'I hate this game' 'Oh I love the Sims 4' 'I am a death connoisseur' 'I like to take these speedbuilts as a podcast'

[@Confused_Fear]

I am absolutely obsessed with the architectural style of this build!

[@ultrarzadkiebieszczadzkiep6537]

creepy wedding venue yes!!! but not like spooky stuff creepy, I would love romantic gothic creepy

[@Aric-jc8hs]

12:07 high school years debug has really got metal fairy lights for outdoor areas

[@lindseyhyde8501]

I would absolutely NOT ever bring an infant/toddler sim to a restaurant. I actually don’t think I’ve ever left my home lot with one to go anywhere, ever. 🤣 Sims can BARELY take care of infants/toddlers at home, I couldn’t imagine the nightmare of bringing them to community lots. Picking up/carrying infants/toddlers is near impossible, high chairs are super buggy, even trying to put an infant in a crib can be a huge chore depending on what mood the game is in that day. 🤣 just nope.

[@ramisalio]

You're incredible, don't stop creating videos!

[@Prehknight22]

Yes on the farm idea, and I'd love a Y'alternative aesthetic, like a goth/country horse ranch?

[@Bunnybananabunny]

There's even that skeleton horse fur paint template in CAS! Would be epic!

[@coziest.rosiest]

I’d love to see more builds where you don’t limit how many packs you use to build. They turn out so beautiful. 😮

[@madster4132]

Everyone seems to like the creepy wedding venue idea but oh how i would love to see you build a big creepy library

[@merlinho0t]

Yeah when it comes to Dine Out, you either get lucky and it actually works (even if it’s slow and buggy to actually order and be served), or it just doesn’t work at all. The fact that they still haven’t even attempted to fix it to this day is baffling.

[@gretagoogames]

welcome to the chronically ill club, kayla! we welcome you with open arms, it’s rough out there, but atleast you have answers for your pain

[@sarahcapozio]

I love your "yapping". I hardly ever make it to your streams so I *need* these life updates. I love your content and I've been a stan for over 5 years (princess_zelda03). The cemetery and more restaurants and libraries/museums.

[@ServiceSailorVenus]

i’ve been watching your videos for YEARS and i love these “podcast” videos because it literally feels like we’re friends on facetime. your videos feel so causal and friendly i love getting to follow along with your life updates haha!!

[@Sparkling34]

watching this while waiting for the 30 × 20 tiny starter home to place from my library, its been like an hour . . .

[@its.justfae]

classic sims😭 im waiting on mine to update (its been days) but thats js my wifi loll

[@MintJellymp]

I love these ideas for Goth or Halloween vibes wedding, for elegant old sims or vampire sims! ❤

[@Sparkling34]

17:02 I love to see kayla supporting her neighbor with the landscaping!

[@Birdie364]

Would love a farm build in Ravenwood😊

[@karynelove96]

Are you gonna blog your wedding ceremony Kayla? I would love to see a highlight reel of your special day ❤

[@kelsidysinger7667]

She has said that they are planning too!

[@beldurrita]

i love the shape, i think is one of your best

[@crowpriest]

I saw someone ask for a library with life and death and university on your last video! So library is perfect

[@anyawillowfan]

Most of the time I wouldn't bring an infant or toddler to a restaurant (or really any lots other than libraries and parks), but I would if I was doing a family reunion type event (and honestly, when it comes to funerals I might bring them, as I often do for weddings, but depends), and usually I add an item to keep them busy so I don't actively have to look after them while I focus on social interactions with everyone else. And please don't apologise for yapping, it's literally the reason I enjoy your content so much.

[@LenaKomarova-md9ke]

Your editing are on point, loved it!

[@inerciasart]

100% placing this on my main save!! And a creepy wedding venue with the castle kit would be so cool 😭

[@thelorak2494]

I've been loving these builds, and I genuinely like a lot of the life and death stuff. Do you think it is worth the $40? I haven't been able to justify buying it yet. 🤔

[@emrayn05]

The build ideas you brought up seem so interesting! I’m loving seeing creators push this pack to its limits. A wedding venue is a very interesting idea. Im thinking old catholic inspired church that meets both the cemetery and wedding venue requirements

[@nigelrudolfsson]

bringing kids with me?! gurl, i am tired of them so everytime my sim left their house it's like a girls night, holiday or something 😂

[@skyesthelimitro]

YES TO CREEPY WEDDING VENUE PLEASE!!!!

[@Emma.06]

Definitely a creepy wedding!

[@heekilem]

i usually watch vods when i'm available but hearing you talk about the build when it's finished and you just explain things is also soo nice :')

[@lildizzy72]

I like the wedding venue idea

[@HimeLunaMoon]

I'm so excited for you and Dan, also I agree with you I would leave the infants at home/daycare in The Sims.

[@haileysteensen6904]

All of those build ideas sound incredible! ESPECIALLY the creepy or gothic wedding venue!!!

[@adrienhorrell5612]

I also just learned i have endometriosis!! Apparently my symptoms were not normal.... 😬

[@rebeccawaller3561]

Girl - those goblets are GORGEOUS. I think I'm going to try to find some knock offs. Have those goblets on shelves with fairy lights in them. I'm in Oregon so it's going to be cloud cover the next 6 months which I love (photophobic/photosensitive). Candles and fairylights the next several months and I couldn't be happier.

[@alostoutcast]

nailed the transylvanian look 🥹

[@gstvgs]

that roof is so pretty

[@Hannah-mg2kk]

I am begging for a creepy wedding venue 🙏🏻 please Simsie!!!

[@Toni_platy]

I'd love a creepy wedding venue. It also just makes so much sense

[@lukerazer9565]

I'd love to see a spooky library!!

[@queenhalalie8266]

I really like all your life and death build ideas! especially the farm!

[@AinsleyPhipps]

Speed build Sunday!!!!!!! When we needed it most, she brought it back 💙

[@lovelyviruz]

I love all 3 of those ideas. Please do them. I would love a creepy library and wedding venue.

[@amanduhlozada]

I love how excited she gets talking about her wedding 🥺❤️

[@kassandrarvr94]

I like watching these speed builds because it makes me laugh how many times Kayla switches colors of things. You don't notice until it's sped up

[@RoboticHandler]

You might have already had this conversation with your PCP, but def inquire if Genetic paneling is an idea to explore :) could help with knowing if there's other conditions to have an eye out for that associate with endometriosis (though it sounds like you're doing well!) Good to hear you're taking care of yourself and the wedding planning is going great!

[@cheesygeese1970]

Thanks for keeping me sane this week

[@annemiekayla]

No worries, we love the yapping ❤

[@AnnieEvers]

I got married on October 5th this year and absolutely nothing went according to plan, but it ended up beyond perfect. Good luck with your wedding!

[@seaweed_dragon1158]

all the best steakhouses ive been to have had moody lighting inside, you absolutely killed this build Kayla. I absolutely live for all of your builds.

[@FlowerCatEnthusiast]

The creepy wedding venue sounds amazing! I would download that in a heartbeat, and I normally don't download builds. I love Simsie's videos, they're really soothing. PS. Feel well soon, Simsie- and I totally would have brought the infant/toddler. I might bring the toddler a sack lunch and have them eat separately, though, and the infant would just have to be breast/bottle fed and alternated between parents.

[@hollyannehoernig7663]

Yes! Creepy wedding venue!!

[@dogeatsdogdog2822]

No I don’t ever bring my toddlers or infants to restaurants in the game, or anywhere for that matter unless it’s like a toddler park that I placed

[@SadieCarpenter-ft4he]

Now this is my day better!

[@TheMikZino]

I love this! I'm always fine with more community lots, my sims need to get out! 😀 I always love to build restaurants, for the same reasons you mentioned. For Library and wedding venues, I usually download one of yours. 😊

[@1272britt]

i love love the idea of a creepy wedding venue! this gothic church, cathedral, attached cemetery/mausoleum... it can even double as a funeral location or reception hall for other occasions

[@tacobell8920]

i still cannot figure out why the sims team never hires kayla to make builds for the packs (other than growing together)

[@UnassumingLlama]

She’s also done Snowy escape, but y guess is they can’t always use Kayla for every pack. For one it might be overwhelming for her to do it every time a new pack comes out and for two, there’s a whole community of sims builders and it’s odd to just use the same 2-5 creators out of 100+

[@DJ_Elcie]

I got here SO QUICK today

[@rebeccawaller3561]

My new favorite dessert that I seem to find all over Oregon - lemon berry marscapone cake. I would love to see that represented in the Sims.

[@ShanaChiiBaka]

The stone arch from My Wedding Stuff would be perfect for the creepy wedding venue! Doesn't have to be entirely creepy too, could just be more somber, maybe have a little more stone, maybe look a lil more worn down

[@ycsdramaqueen]

Oh, I love this idea. I might make a cafe or bakery here with a library attached. The perfect spot for someone to get coffee or something small after a funeral and work on the Ghost Historian aspiration.

[@Olivia-zr5zk]

ALL of your ideas for this pack sound great!

[@ashley-xq2fy]

Because of the terrain paint glitch, I've started saving my lots to my gallery (not sharing them, just saving them to my private gallery) every time I exit the game or go into manage worlds. That way I always have a version of the lot with the terrain paint saved if it decides to delete the terrain ever. Alsoooo a creepy wedding venue would be fantastic for goth sims!

[@smallbee7]

Creepy wedding venue is AWESOME!!!!! Also library yesssssss

[@SadieAbby]

In addition to the community lots you’ve suggested I would love to see the bar be revamped!

[@Rissasaysso]

Yes!!! Creepy wedding venue is a must!!! ❤❤❤

[@markabele8794]

It's a nice restaurant. I would suggest for future lots: a general park, or a rental apartment. I can't think of other lots that would be suited to this world.

[@SaraDeAra]

A creepy wedding venue could be perfect for ghost weddings. For those wanting to get married after death. It could also work for occults. I would love to see this!

[@mimziiie]

I'm currently building a massive castle on the 64x64 lot and I will have a ghost lady and lord and their Buttler live in it. With a stable, nectar making in the basement and crop on the lot also. Man I love this pack

[@ruaflwr]

I'd love to see the big farm on the 64x64 lot in Whispering Glen or a neighbourhood of farm houses like you've done in Chestnut Ridge!

[@l.graceaddie2224]

A creepy wedding venue might be a need. It would fit SO WELL with this pack!

[@senanurgulecoglu97]

I never bring a baby to the restaurant. Even toddlers always want to get off from the highchair and cry its annoying

[@saras.2787]

Oooh I will def download this and use it as a mansion! Looks so cool!

[@AZIZAxBLUE]

Love the exterior of this!! One of my favourites you’ve done! 🧡🙌🏽

[@katieseabolt7694]

Babes the eyebrows look so slay all natural. I love them

[@hijlaa]

Maybe a rec center could be a fun challenge! There is so much focus on death in this pack, but a place for people to gather and do activities with friends and family could be nice.

[@acidicfairy]

Cake tasting was my favourite part of wedding planning. We loved our wedding cake so much we got the lady to make us a baby shower cake just so we could have more cake 🤣

[@peyytunia]

Would love to see a library! I’ve been thinking of trying to make a museum of the occult too

[@musi.ctia.straphause-qr7cv]

😮❤Since the ghosts can go through walls, I'm assuming haven't played, you could make houses that have spaces only ghosts can go like the house was renovated over it

[@madelinehogan7757]

I love this build! more community lots plssss

[@fatimadamon4749]

Ohmyword!! I would actually visit this restaurant 😅… it’s stunning!!!❤

[@alfredricketts3791]

This is absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤ i love this green as well 🫶🏽

[@pokerusfreak8194]

This was a beautiful building, very well done

[@kelsimueller2301]

I would love to see a farm! Especially a farmhouse in the build style of Ravenwood, it would be beautiful!

[@Slightly_random_artist]

You should rebuild the whole world! Love the creepy wedding venue idea!

[@cn53-grantmichaellaurensma74]

You could do a series where you try to combine other packs with Life and Death, like maybe Horse Ranch + Life and death Wedding Stories + Life and death

[@sannabengtsson3044]

Do a Gothic Library

[@angelabrummett3695]

I also have endometriosis. I was diagnosed after my first surgery at 17. It’s really hard and so many doctors don’t know enough about it. There are treatment options and things can get better
