The child being stuck in a weird long tiny room while the parents have huge bathroom is hilarious

[@finnthejackalope]

Honestly as I'm watching her do the roof, I was kinda hoping that kid got a balcony. I feel like that would even out the score and give that kid more space.

[@mhansku7152]

Yeah, but if i was a gid and i had long room.. oh my

[@kait4824]

I was soo hoping she would use an archway to add another room onto the kids room bc thats so funny lol poor kid

[@calibones2514]

Funny but also realistic 😂

[@cassdun619]

Right!​@kait4824 when she got that last room size she scraped, I thought that would be a nice add on to the kids room.

I think the way to tweak this to make it more reasonable would be to decide how many rooms you want, generate the numbers and lay all the boxes out on the lot and then try to fit them together before doing any furnishing.

[@pietrofattorello]

honestly the way she did it is very fun because you don't know what the house will look like until the very end lmao

I did this with my friend- First time we got 3 x 1…had to respin lol Second time we got 8 x 7… Bathrooms were fun lol we ended up doing like a fancy sink island thing with a tub, shower, toilet, and like a counter space/vanity separated by half walls

[@HalfBoyHalfGod]

@@edits_betterthanrevenge I love that, makes me think of Cary and Connie's 8x12 house lmao

[@beeveschurger]

Honestly this is most realistic house I've ever seen in the sims. Every house I've ever lived in has had weird dividing walls, skinny weird rooms, strange roofing, and just... odd layouts in general. I love it a lot.

[@SmallSnailMarie]

I thought that too! My house makes no sense there's a long skinny bedroom up in the attic next to an octagonal bedroom both with huuuuge long skinny closets, then downstairs on the second floor there's 2 normal decent sized square rooms, a skinny L shaped room with a ling skinny closet, and then a short skinny bedroom but it has the biggest closet in the house 😂 this just really reminds me of that

[@naokimisisuki2659]

@@SmallSnailMarie literally, my dorm was add to the house later so i have a f@king window that go to my sister dorm lol. We had to cover it up with paper to have privacy.

[@Caspersreunite]

That’s what I was saying! Like this house is definitely realistic, I could just imagine that the first floor was the og ranch style house and then they added on a second floor for more bedrooms

[@AlyssaSharm]

The fact that you were still able to roof this and make it look good is insane. I would combust trying to do this.

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

I would have made that long awkward bedroom a play room, that leads into a kids bedroom. I would have also made that 1x3 room downstairs (cat room) into a mudroom, so there was an entrance to the backyard.

[@kuktyj8212]

Yeah! Had a similiar idea. I tought of maybe putting an arch between the two long weird rooms- creating a bigger hallway? I think I will try this challenge

[@doodlebug7]

OMG I also thought of a mudroom. I was thinking of making the kid's room an extension of the hallway using an arch so it could lead to more bedrooms

[@angelnetworks]

yeah me too........ Kayla has never been to a house I think /j

[@JBabyLeather]

Perfect!

[@yomiyuarts]

I was also thinking about that omg

[@jigglemykitties]

i just couldn’t stop thinking about how the cat room had a door instead of an arch. how is the little fella supposed to get in 😭 lmfaoo

[@absoluteli.0]

obviously the cat will break in like they do whenever they’re hungry and you’re working

[@kaboshca]

Love it how she made it "rule" to not change room plan. I would've done it like randomized room sized for every room and then made it puzzle to make an floor plan with them and then choose which room is which

[@donna8557]

idk, but those challenges are SO MUCH FUN to watch!

[@TheStepjc]

I was hoping the kids room would be a Jack and Jill Bathroom. The laundry in the bathroom and the roofing was pure genius.

[@Temporarilyinuse]

I was like yelling at the screen to turn it into a little office nook lol. Would’ve been perfect to add that last room as the kids room.

[@silverwear]

id honestly love to see a video of kayla renovating builds she made from challenges, like these where she’s allowed to do whatever she wants

[@kamouille12]

me too ! we know she loves renovations so it would be fun !

[@spekktors]

I definitely think a renovation of this would be cool! Also a more evil version of this challenge where once you place and furnish a room you can't change it would be hilarious and painful

[@nightly-ruse2925]

Been thinking about this challenge, I don’t know if it already exists tho- Multi challenge Challenge where each room follows a random challenge, like each room is randomized with a price, style, and size for example! I think it’d be really chaotic

for the upstairs hallway issue, i would've made the first 'hallway' into a landing, turned the kid's room into a proper hallway, and had an archway instead of a door connecting them together, i think that would look pretty cool

I was thinking the exact same thing!! :D

[@goawayplease1111]

It’s funny how her “bad” house is something that I would be genuinely proud of 😂

[@yuhhbiscuit]

Build challenge idea: Since Kayla is starting the Not so Berry challenge what if she made builds based on the gens character not color (like for example mint gens a mischievous scientist)

[@squidbeans7243]

I know

[@DukeOfCoolburg]

And! The sim has to be a different color lol

[@yuhhbiscuit]

[@lenorabrown4702]

If she does this, I really hope she takes to the spirit of the challenge and builds in styles she usually doesn’t. The courtyard oasis kit and jungle adventure have some gorgeous mint swatches and I’d love to see a more adobe/Moroccan/South American styled house from her

[@freakyteen18]

You're too hard on yourself, the outside looks beautiful, roofing is tough in this game and I think you did a really good job. :)

[@liminal-refridgerator]

This was so fun! I’d love to watch a renovation. This house has good bones! Probably needs a second floor expansion? I also have a different build challenge for you: a legacy build challenge where you get 10 rooms, and each room is based on a different generation of a 10 gen challenge. It could be Not So Berry, since that is popular, so there would be a mint room based on the mint gen’s interests, rose based on rose, etc. But, I’d also love a Potts family build where each room is based on a different heir from the Potts legacy!

[@kinseylise8595]

It honestly looks really normal from the front. I'd love to see a renovation to help the other angles though.

[@missjessilla]

Challenge - Each room is a different challenge-challenge. *Townie, colour, size, budget, pack etc. 1. Decide on what kind of room. 2. Spin the wheel. If you get size you'll have to spin another wheel with various size options. If you get on colour your spin a wheel with various colour options. Good luck!

[@geo.k.8800]

omg plumbella did it IT WAS SO FUN

[@missjessilla]

@Life of us I’m just happy to spread the chaos - Good luck!!

i'm in love with the way the downstairs turned out! so yeah, i'm totally down for a reno of this one!

[@caseygreyson4178]

Thank you for the inspiration, Kayla! I will be doing this challenge myself, with some changes. I think I’ll allow myself to rearrange the rooms how I want, as long as I’m not changing the size. That way, I’m only stuck with their dimensions, not where I place them.

[@jessiemclaughlin6061]

I was thinking like the shell challenges where you generate each room then arrange them together into a Floorplan.

[@marissaosman]

For the record I thought the closet in the bathroom idea was brilliant.

[@pamisa-chan317]

I tried this challenge but I got a 8x2 for living room and I gave up 💀

[@yuhhbiscuit]

I would’ve had a panic attack if that happened to me 😂

[@Jamestopboy]

Ironically, the 1x6 could have been a bathroom; a toilet at one end, a sink at the other, and a discover university shower - which you *can* walk through somewhere else in the room. Then you have a long, skinny bathroom. As could the 1x3. Sink, shower in middle, toilet on otherside - door in to room in front of shower.

[@QueerAndHere]

[@neftalibarrios6742]

Roof Clipping tip You can Shift click on the arrows of the roof and adjust 1 side and leave the other as is. Sometimes works but helps so much when the roof starts clipping and looks like a nightmare.

[@RBaird-zi8qx]

Would love to see you "shell challenge" this -- renovate without changing the exterior walls!

[@Stardusk123]

i wasn't expecting the long bathroom to end up looking good, but laundry day really saved it. I would've used that room for a small kitchen. it's pretty common to have a galley kitchen, a corner kitchen or just a small version of what you made. I also would have utilized spandrels with the other long room to make the upstairs hallway bigger and then used the bigger rooms for bedrooms. You could also utilize divider items with moveobjects on instead of walls and halfwalls and fancy fences to break up rooms.

[@luella1263]

always so exiting when simsie posts

[@aze4996]

Would've made that final 6x4 a bedroom that's connected to the hallway via a cute lil balcony out front, have the bedroom placed next to the kids room and forward towards front of the house

[@mellow3598]

I think it actually looks good! The roofing is an art and you've mastered it.

[@evynmitchell536]

i love that with regular speed builds and such, youve been branching out to non-blue-suburbans but when its a stressful build challenge you revert to what youre comfortable with. so so valid

[@brosiaaa]

You did amazing!

[@shizu8088]

I totally want to try this but I think I'm gonna modify the challenge and give myself a 2 tile min to make it a bit easier, and also allow myself to use any weird void spaces as outdoor patios/balconies. Thank you for making this simsie it was so fun to watch!!! I love how you came up with the cat room idea.

[@cheddarsworld2256]

Me's mind: This has got to be so easy Me actually trying it: UM ACTUALLY I MAY BE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS- Me to my friends: Yeah it was a breeze Moral: Don't try hard things and you won't end up lying

[@Zack_Wester]

this kind of chalence really depends on the dice roll. also I would maybe remove the 1 on the random or add 1 to the top of the random and remove 1 size if its over 3 so that you have less chance to roll 1.

Each room themed on a career or skill? Like a writer's library, or a baker's kitchen? Perhaps randomised the room as well? Get a candlemaker's bathroom or a gardener's entryway.

[@TheHalfa]

This was super fun to watch! As someone who has been trying to do more build challenges, I would love to see more of this one.

[@River_X2_]

I just started playing this challenge and I added one more challenge to this. First I used random number generation to choose me the number of rooms in that house, 10 (settings in random number generations were 4-12 for number of rooms). Made it harder for sure, as few last rooms were huge and I had to add upstairs and basement and only smaller rooms were 2x2 and 1x2 so those are bathrooms now in a house with huge 6x6 and 6x7 bedrooms :D

[@abbyj4108]

you could have used the other big room upstairs as another living space, perhaps a room with bookshelfs and a computer, and put the kid's room on the other side of it

[@Totorh03]

Same idea but maybe generate all the room sizes first, make the boxes, and then stick them together in a way that makes sense (I guess it’d be easier but it’s okay to make a challenge easier for yourself!). Also, I think you could replace the walls with fences/trusses. Technically still a divider but could create open spaces
