Make a museum of Stanley's rags to riches accomplishments for everything he went through 😤✋

[@vannareeves9523]

YES

[@oenkaboenka686]

YES

[@kinglukas3437]

Period

[@mwahha6965]

😂 Hell yeah

[@LbEternity]

I made a legacy museum to put up pictures of. My legacy family in the milestone stages of their lives in Magnolia Promenade. It’s also got a photo studio in the basement for any last minute pics ..

[@ready2learn87]

Kayla - “It’s not in my comfort zone” does not equal “I’m not good at it” Although it’s not comfy, you are good at it. 👍🏻❤️

[@ZeeBug15]

Its like even though the shirt isn’t your vibe, it still looks good

[@ILuvAyeAye]

Absolutely true! But I also imagine "not my comfort zone" could mean "it takes a lot longer to make it look good." She posts so often, I totally understand if she wants to be in her comfort zone sometimes. But I love the builds when she leaves her comfort zone so much.

[@annerowe217]

I got so excited hoping this would be a museum showcasing all of Stanley’s Rag-to-Riches 😔 But thank you for the wonderful base game museum!

[@miacatttt]

[@Scissorbag]

💯

[@scurbbb]

Kayla, you mentioned that you struggle with making sims, so would you ever consider letting us make families for your new-crest houses? It could be a fun little idea, and we could make backstories for them and then you pick the ones you liked the most :D

[@ronaldraymond66]

I love this idea

[@Happy-is-Good06]

That's such a good idea

[@moonch1l_d]

this would be cool, but i feel like she barely reads youtube comments 💀

[@chibigirl8545]

She just gets a lot. Her gallery crashes before she can load the full selection of shell challenges. She could probably invest in an external hard drive and add/replace the motherboard ram (if her processor can handle it).

[@willowweedsYT]

Even the spider webs from Vampires count as wall decor, I used them in a zen garden where I didn’t want any paintings, but liked the idea of it drawing museum visitors.

[@whimsywitchh]

it would be so cool if you had like those “mock exhibits” with like fake animals and like biomes represented

this would be so boring tho. you just delete a bunch of furniture

[@lorrenwtf]

Just at the part where you're talking about meeting a partner's family at a wedding or birthday... I met most of my partner's family at a wake. I did not know it was a wake until I was about to leave 😬

[@cakepop918]

What is a wake?

[@lorrenwtf]

@@cakepop918 it's the gathering/reception held after a funeral (UK definition and usage of the word)

[@cakepop918]

@@lorrenwtf Thank you! That must have been so awkward!

[@peachypanda57]

omg someone else commented that their cousin brought their boyfriend to a funeral 😅😅 i wonder how common this is

[@Spidertheidiot]

@@peachypanda57 Probably very, A lot of people want to be around loved ones in a time of loss, and significant others usually fall into that category. Also some people probably feel bad that their partners were never able to meet their deceased family members, so a funeral would be a sort-of way to do that. I met a cousins partner at my great grandmothers funeral.

[@Artimusk]

Building public lots is exhausting. You literally have to build public lots like modern houses tbh. I just model them after places I've been to irl in California.

[@latenitewaffles7926]

Parks especially. I'm sooooo glad that ponds are in the game now because I can just have those take up most of the space lol

[@Artimusk]

@@latenitewaffles7926 EXACTLY. Ponds. And big trees hide mistakes. Bob Ross taught me well. I wanna see what Kayak could build if she didn't limit packs as much because sometimes you can make some insane public lots when you don't limit yourself to one or two. ...like "Going Wild with Kayak"

[@kathrinklein353]

I think a 'rags to museum' challenge would be fun, where you make a museum out of the items you find in the world, and you use the money for buying paintings and statues

[@flowercat9883]

That sounds really cool

[@hibiscus10moon]

animal crossing?

[@lhe8373]

I downloaded this today :) thank you so much. I switched the art room and the science room and then put the observatory at the "balcony". And I put a little restaurant/bar at the music section instead of the banks. t's actually a great date location now for my sims. Thanks !

[@veeisntcool]

"I think the graphics of the Sims 4 really does hold up" The food: 👁👄👁

[@ILuvAyeAye]

A third option of museum buildings (other than boring boxes or buildings with brick-work) are buildings converted from something else into a museum. I grew up visiting the NY Transit Museum, which was an old decommissioned subway station that they turned into a transit museum. The Hermitage in Russia used to be a palace. The Hemingway Home and Museum was just a home (obviously, hah). If you come up with a good story, I think you could use any building. This isn't just a blue suburban, it's the former home of a famous scientist - this nursery is where she discovered the ability to travel to the planet Sixam! A church, a coal mine, a factory, a creepy haunted looking house... I think in Sulani, the underneath of the sunken ship would be a really cool museum. I'm turning it into an indoor playground though, I've got a family of werewolves visiting that get grouchy when rained on.

[@fannypliers3716]

“can you imagine watching a 2h live stream of me doing the bathrooms…” uhm, yes? absolutely? especially when work is piling up around me, that seems comforting as hell to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kiayafinch6169]

I'm glad your dad was able to get a booster shot and I hope you have/had fun at the wedding and with Vixella!

[@iaralinharesmotta]

My cousin presented her boyfriend on a funeral 😂😂😂😂 so Dan will rock on the wedding!

[@Lhilberry]

Oh no that must have been so uncomfortable for him 😅

[@ixnatallietheidiotxi8710]

She what 👁👁

[@RobynKaitlanClark]

Funerals for my family are like Kayla described weddings to hers. It's the only time we all meet up in one place. Unfortunately rather frequently actually.

[@2BeesO]

I had to do the same... It is what it is

[@queenigelkotte]

Same but it wasnt awkward at all

[@scurbbb]

Kayak: I am not that good at building Kayla EA literally hired you to build 3 houses for Snowy Escape

[@katsuki-pyon]

The fancy rocks being displayed without any protection is perfect for a kleptomaniac Sim lolol

[@josephanderson2781]

What if Kayla built a house with the worst parts from every EA build from in the Sims 4 (for example: super tall glass roof and bathrooms with no toilets from Get Famous and a non functional kitchen with missing counters from Strangerville)

[@henrysansone5501]

Kayla, you're such a great builder. I really appreciate how playable, thoughtful, and creative they are.

[@iMaePlay]

When she said she likes games where actions dont have consequences… What about the cowplant and the piranha pond that killed many sims in nightmare legacy? 😂

[@NoshiCore]

Can you make a playlist of all your necrest builds? Please

[@desirosethorne4429]

Your comment about museums usually being old is so true. My state's State Museum was built in an old textile mill, the building itself dating back to 1894. In fact, it was the first 100% electric textile mill in the world. There is a replica of the H.L Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship and on the second floor, there is a recreation of a 3.6 million year old megalodon suspended from the ceiling. It's a beautiful museum, it even has a planetarium and an observatory as well as a 4D theater. I haven't been there in years but I would love to go again, I love history.

[@magnus87]

Very good job, now more than ever I want a "Museum Game Pack" for TS4 where you can not only charge the entrance fee but also design guided tours or pre-established paths to explore the museum on your own.

[@solarpluto2959]

IM DYING RN, the lgbt pictures are absolutely killing me. "yes little timmy here we have the science of gay ppl. That one is a lesbian OO and over here we have a pansexual"

[@ShacharGScott]

Kayla: “ Believe it or not I’m gonna build a community lot” Me: Thinking about who’s holding her hostage

[@AmiriTempest]

Kayla, I love what you do. I love openness and honesty you bring to your community. You are such a kind and caring person and that radiates through what you do. I do believe, you sell yourself short sometimes. You are talented and creative. Your rough attempts (the previous version of your museum that you're not sharing) make you relatable. I would absolutely love to watch you be indecisive while working on a bathroom because it's a thing we all do. Even by acknowledging that you do these things, you are helping people understand that it's okay to have trial and error while building. It's easy to watch simmers build and get discouraged because it feels impossible to do what you guys do. To see the humanity of it, and to see that even some of the best builders in the game have to work at it. Anyway, Thank you for being a constant positive force in the sims community.

[@derykmusic]

I love that you mentioned the Last of Us, it has the best / most emotive storyline in gaming history I reckon. Felt it so deeply

[@haileyangelinaaaa]

my fav game

[@zachmakesstuff9866]

Honestly, the Museum lot type is the most useless in the game as there’s little to no references to lore in the sims franchise in TS4 base game

[@malen3853]

in museum u can just watch paintins

[@nikca-wt3xy]

I agree, but when you have a kleptomaniac sim, you can get rich really quickly just by stealing things in the museum 😂

[@malen3853]

@@nikca-wt3xy hahaha YES my fav trait 😂

[@deegreen1714]

If you wanna find a really cool architectural museum look up the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto! Also completely impossible to build in the sims but not all new museums are just giant cubes!

[@TheBadJayne]

I love building community lots. =) Like not all of them but restaurants, bars, the thing that came with eco living (the 3 in one thing) and also parks but I also love building houses. You are building so awesome. I love your builds.

[@tabiibat]

“Like they built a modern museum 20 years ago” …. “Like in 1995” Oh no, you’ve joined us in getting old Kayla

[@marveludus]

not having seen your family in a long time is a mood. the last time I saw a single person of my family was at the start of 2019. most I havent seen in even longer.

FYI, my niece is an EMT and she's transported 6 people with Covid to the hospital. They had all been vaccinated.

[@Hannah-zd3wf]

I’m sure she has transported more that were not vaccinated and it doesn’t compare to the amount of the unvaccinated people hospitalized with covid, thank her for her service for me!! :)

[@omg__april]

A museum is such a fun idea to show off rarely used items! I myself have made one with like -- movies sets I think? It was fun! A science museum is cool though -- kinda like Science Works!

[@ShepherdsAmelia]

This is an absolutely wonderful museum, so much better than any that exist in game. I never use museums cause there's just kinda no point cause your Sims can't do anything so this is absolutely awesome.

[@GeeeTii]

referring that stuff you said about tomorrowland, i feel like some of the stuff in back to the future still feels futuristic. i mean the movie as a whole feels outdated but little things here and there feels futuristic if that makes sense.

[@dear_totheheart]

It just proves how souless modern architecture is. I like how you made yours contemporary and yet still impressive and a nice use of the space and items like this. I wish more museums and classical architecture were available!

[@queralt9042]

Rip the first museum💞✨💝

I just watched a video from Petey Plays It where he recommends making museums for better gameplay! Totes recommend. One of them was an aerospace museum.

[@miko.is.a.cool.dude.yepppp]

12:29 Kayla: *randomly pulls out gnome statue* I can relate to it a lot

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

Like your museum! Weddings and funerals, when families finally get together. I'm sure everyone loves you, don't worry about making impressions. You're engaged, so no one will be trying to get you to "meet a friend" of theirs...LOL. Tip for house guests. New toothbrushes and tooth paste. What are VITAL and so easy to forget to pack...Have Fun!!

[@piperbird7193]

I built a museum back when Newcrest came out, and it was quite a challenge. I did the same as you, and added the large things like the telescope (which I put down in a pit, it actually looked pretty nice). I also included all of the base game collections, which was really fun to make rooms for each collection. I just went to the gallery and found the museum isn't there anymore, but all the single rooms with the collections are still there, so I might try to build it again someday.

[@iggysmice3087]

I don't have a house to host people at, I live with my parents, but my friend has her own apartment and honestly we do just all sleep on the floor when she hosts the gang. I tend to take the couch, but sometimes we just all lay on the floor. Us and the cats and the dog, lol. If I'm on the couch the dog sleeps with me, because I don't toss and turn and flail when I'm asleep the way his owner, my partner does!

[@greisly8114]

The sims 3 thing is my initial reaction after not touching them for almost 7 years. I remembered it to be such a cool game; open world, creative cas, vast baggy outfits, Free to choose colours and patterns, Fairies and warewolves! Went back there yesterday and when i opened the CAS, "Ewww what is this fakeass Alpha CC pretendee hairs" Really appreciate the scroll bar with name details tho, as now that i am a little bit more conscious about appearance and wanting to know more of the parts of the face and their respective names.

[@5uperrnov4]

haven't seen or heard any sims 4 youtubers talk about tlou2 but now that I'm obsessing over that game someone talks about it lol interesting.

[@stellasworld4147]

Can we all just thank her for making everything base game so we can download it. I know she probably miss stuff from the packs

[@lilfelber]

The term you were looking at when talking about Disney and other modern stuff is "Retro Futurism". It's a term for when a time from the past projects their ideas of the future on to style, architecture, or whatever. Think what Back to the Future thought of the Future, or the original Star Trek or any of those old Sci-Fi movies from the 50s and 60s. You can tell it's the future, but the future brought you from an older mindset.

[@EmpressEmbeth]

If you want an architectural reference, look up the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It's a Grecian building and a lot of the details have equivalent decorative elements in the Sims, and is just staggeringly beautiful but still feels attainable

[@hayleylucas5322]

[@ker3nza]

i wonder if kayla is going to go back and make revisions to her builds in newcrest now that the swatch update is out

[@zoinomiko]

I wonder if the 'Last of Us' uncanny valley comes from the faces not being the same as the actors that are doing the motion-capture and voices? Like, Ashley Johnson & Laura Bailey are straight up acting all of it with dots all over their faces AFAIK but their mouths move for THEIR faces and not the character's different faces....

[@LittleRodent88]

I would LOVE the last of us graphics in the sims, seriously. I freaking love that stuff but I doubt it’s remotely possible yet because those characters are all designed after someone irl

I would not say no to a kit that had multiple empty neighborhoods like Newcrest but the background/terrain is from each different world. Like one themed for a Mt. Komerabi type neighborhood with the appropriate landscaping. But it HAS to have multiple neighborhoods, like a minimum of 5 but preferably all the world's.

[@tabytastick]

Ask the bride her color scheme and wear a complimentary color. Example: if her color scheme is blues wear an orange or peach color, If her color is purples wear a green or pale yellow.

[@MariusBoss11458]

I remember there was a playthrough I watched from 2015 and the guy played Get to Work DLC and he played in Newcrest. So in a way this place could also have Spa Day and Get to Work in there. Because Newcrest was made around the same time Get to Work was made. Same for Spa Day.

I know you're not taking suggestions about the wedding (well, obviously considering it happened today lol), but just thought I'd throw this out there for future reference...no matter what you wear, just DONT WEAR WHITE! Lol. Or, I guess, whatever color the bride is wearing. That's really the biggest wedding etiquette thing I can think of...dont want to show up the bride or take any attention away from her! Hahaha Anyways, hope that it was enjoyable and you had a really fun time. AND that Dan meeting the rest of your family went well...I'm sure we'll all hear about it during your next speed build. Lol. Oh, and yeah, great job on the museum build too!! I like how you put in a kids' section, considering many cities (at least in the U.S.) have some form of a children's museum. Soo, good choice! 👏🏻😁
