building an *actually good* base game house in the sims

[@piggychocostitch5679]

@@lucasb9285 she could maybe do it as a longer build on stream, then turn it into a speed build for KZbin - she's done that before with other, longer builds

[@justrudystuff9939]

i definitely want to see kayla build a base game house with no budget, because i feel like every base game house she does has a really low budget 😭

[@blearkob]

To be fair it's definitely a lot harder to record a full-effort build for daily uploads, if you're looking for stuff like that there's a lot more on her Twitch

[@Rasberry12]

@@blearkobher videos on KZbin mostly come from her daily twitch streams, so she normally posts shortened versions of her streams. So she does take a day to make streams and then shorten it for KZbin and edit. Daily uploads on twitch are normally very nice because she takes her time and doesn’t have to shorten it then, she shortened one of her streams and made this.

[@ggottiii]

@@Rasberry12I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure the videos like this where she’s building with the viewers and talking to the camera are not from twitch, but the speed builds are.

[@blearkob]

@@Rasberry12 ^yes, I believe ggottiii is correct. The speedbuilds come from twitch, but she usually streams for 3+ hours and it's arguably much harder to cut up 3 hours of footage into 15 real-time minutes of highlights than to just record for a quick 30 minutes and cut it into 15.

[@msvzt]

@@Rasberry12 it's definitely not MOST. some are from her streams like sped up builds but her gameplay is almost always recorded and not from her streams and videos like this.

I just wish all her base game houses weren’t ALL budget builds. Can we get base game houses with no budget? Or higher budget?

[@Sandra-qk4gw]

please do base game starter house but with a bit of an above average starter budget!! i feel like all base game starter houses end up looking the same when put into the same budget amount, spending a little bit more to make a realistic, lived in "starter" house would be sooooo appreciated

[@leelasalary9136]

I love that the title is *actually good* and the entire video is just simsie being like "this is the ugliest think i've ever built" LOL

[@Flemsplort]

The literal “I tried” and it’s still better than 99% of what I end up building 😂🙃

[@Queenallie2294]

Yeah but that’s what she always does. I think that she’s very critical of her work. Probably because she knows she can do better but doesn’t have the budget to do so

[@avioro4822]

How about abase game build that isn’t cheap or a budget build? Just because the base game is cheap/free doesn’t mean my sims are

[@sarahalexandra2210]

Simsie being absolutely delusional about the budget every time is my Roman Empire

[@zoet.]

I'd be interested in seeing what happens if she gets a budget of 23 simoleons. She should probably raise the minimum to like 5000, or something a bit more realistic than 1

[@kenzzzzie]

the fact that Kayla didnt put a railing on the stairs when she had money and decided to put plants 😂😂

[@oneshotonehit6731]

Excuse me, do you know what's the deal with railing? Is it actually important for the gameplay?

[@tiredandcaffeinated]

I'm not gonna lie, I don't have a dining room in my apartment, or rather I do and that's not what we use it for, and so I don't tend to always put dining tables in my Sims builds because they can eat on the couch and do homework or go on the computer at a desk or counter lol. Would save a lot of money, tbh

[@Whiskin87]

Unlimited budget base game build would be so cool, so you can really show off what base game can offer.

[@nuttyrawr]

honestly, i find the cheapest base game counters kinda cute in the cream swatches..

[@SmallSnailMarie]

Me too tbh they're so simple and they fit most house styles... I like the white with black counters too sometimes!

[@Rasberry12]

The cream/beige-ish swatches are my fav in counters, that or dark brown.

[@libramoons]

i think the outside is cute & i like the green and grey color scheme BUT i would love to see an upgraded version of this house with an unlimited budget :) or a 50k budget

[@bellamarie9926]

hi kayla I know you get many suggestions, but I think it would be so useful for a medium price build. like between 20,000 and 30,000 so its still affordable but you can have creative freedoms. anyway, love your builds! :)

[@kristym7149]

I feel like Kayla needs to do a base game build without worrying about budget so she doesn't have to stress and we can see the full abilities of base game haha

[@seghuolog2957]

She ALWAYS does budget bills I’d like her to do something like when she made the 1,000,000 mansion and force a bigger budget

[@emikoyo5584]

base game builders rise up! there's so much you can do with it :)

[@kallenbriana3828]

Can you do this again without a budget???

[@juliashirokova8374]

I’ve seen this exact house 13578 times on this channel

[@CrofteriaCorner]

The layouts of your builds always give me such a feeling of homesickness, even though they're never the exact same 🥰 It's so comforting

[@beckers861]

Kayla saying "Everything is so expensive" in Sims4 is WAY to relatable to real life these days 🤣😭

[@malami4891]

This is by no means related to this video, but I feel like I have to share my opinion on something. Is there anyone having the same complaint as me? I am from Poland, a country in central/easten Europe. The Sims has been trying really hard to represent various cultures in the game. I really appreciate them doing that, and I am so, so happy for people from all around the world to finally get their representation. But I feel kind of hurt as an Eastern European. We get barely any recognition in any game, even though our culture is vivid, unique and beautiful. I wish we had at least something that would represent us in the tiniest bit. There are so many players coming from this region, that it is very painful to see us completely forgotten it looks like. Maybe I seem like I am complaining a bit much, but I had the inner need to speak up, since this is very important to me ❤

[@karlitatv]

As a Latin American not from Mexico nor Brazil I get you so much, we always get put aside when it comes to our culture and dishes. And stuff in the game named Mexican or Brazilian are actually from all over Latin America in their own way.

[@L.L333]

It would be so cool to see eastern european representation (I'm from Germany) but I worry that they might mash everything together just like they did with Get together (Germany, Britain, France, Scandinavia, Belgium and everything they put in there)

[@riemunen8973]

I would love to see that! I'm also hoping to see some Nordic representation, especially architecturally (Finnish saunas, summer cottages, traditional masonry heaters, wood carved architectural details etc.)

[@Ryan-mm1oj]

@@L.L333 Yeah i found the way they mixed everything in get together weird. im from the UK so am like yea that's from here but then loads of stuff reminds me of places I've been in Germany and it kinda confuses me what the world is getting at. I prefer to use Henford on Bagley when i want to make cute british stuff

[@L.L333]

@@Ryan-mm1oj When I saw the Tudor Style houses I first thought they had no idea about german half timbered houses. Then I saw the debug houses that actually look german and realized they just thought it was kinda the same and what was especially sad was that they had so many patterns for Tudor/half timbered houses but only used one for all the houses😂

[@chloekoons5644]

The green and grey is giving ✨university housing✨

[@jennivamp5]

Simsie, if you wanted to make a 35000 house, just make a 35000 house. I appreciate you wanting to do some starter homes and low budget builds but the struggling for money thing gets a little old sometimes.

[@toxxicx]

i feel like when you build starter houses it would be fun to then "expand" it. the idea being after someone plays in it for a while and has money they can just replace it with the upgraded version

[@mora003]

Hate the budget aspect I just want a good simsie base build house 😭

[@AAAIDNY]

Kayla, another tip is to replace parts of the floor with concrete to save on simoleons. like under the rug, fridge, couch etc. doesn’t save a whole lot but it counts lol

[@mojofang]

Can you do a build challenge where you like build a shell, but then you place a toilet in a completely random spot or like a fridge, and you and other ppl have to make the floor plan and decorate without moving the fridge or toilet or whatever

[@hayleynoel2073]

I always love these types of builds, sometimes I play along too

[@suez5384]

Anyone else screaming at her to add the stair railing when she got the extra money, but got a plant instead? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

can you PLEASE make a cinema simsie?

i completely misread this as a request for a lilsimsie cinemasins parody lmao; but yes i’d also love to see her build a cinema!

[@posiub]

i’d love a more expensive base game house since most your base game houses are cheaper ones!

[@eeveebean]

I LOVE this little house! Also, I thought of a fun building challenge for you. A randomizer wheel with a bunch of room sizes (like 3x4, 5x5, 10x10, ect). You have to spin the wheel for the room you're working on's size

[@Lila_Moon]

Who's going to tell her that since she moved the lot, they no longer have a trashcan. 😂

[@flufferpupper7726]

This! Fr! I was just sitting there thinking: there’s no trash can… simsie!!!

[@aoimanami]

I love lilsimsie's building style and content usually but I'm getting really really bored of these budget builds. It would be so nice to see her build cool basegame houses without these (I'm sorry,but) stupid limitations.

[@canikostar99]

If someone is getting this as their starter home, they are worshiping you as a game saving god. 4 sims for under 15k on base game gives them a major starting budget (I think around 12k?). They can buy that railing and still buy toddler toys and a rocketship.

[@inventedcool1076]

Get rid of the porch ffs lol 😂 they more room on the porch than they do their combined kitchen and dining 😅

[@lucaleone4331]

@LoveSTAY14341 yeah I usually abandon my big families to move on with the legacy when it gets to be too much lol So eventually my households get that big. They just never start big enough for these houses lol

[@GradientWinds]

Why do base game builds always have to be paired with a starter budget.

[@_lowkey.criss_]

You should try that thing where you build a full house out of the shell of a letter, and spin a wheel for a random letter to use as the house

[@airmaildolphin7013]

I love those 20x15 lots in Newcrest for building. Most of my starter homes begin there.

[@dennza]

girl do a base game house without a budged 😭

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Kayla, please stop torturing yourself. Those who enjoy watching you torture yourself aren't your friends. Also, for those wondering about a more efficient & common floor plan: Move the front door to the wall by the landing of the stairs. It creates an entryway. Sofa goes against the stairs & tv goes on the opposite wall... or flip it, it doesn't matter. In these old, essentially row house size homes, your living room IS essentially a hallway. Office nook in the far corner. Kitchen on the back wall. Dining table up front where she put the front door. But truthfully... if you're going budget build, WHY STAIRS? They are so expensive. Go single story. Go MCM. Go desert inspired. Go tract home inspired. Even on a tight budget, you then have money for decor & not the worst items in the game. This way you can even shrink the bump out that becomes what ended up the living room... or not, and have a downstairs bathroom, thus negating the need for the upstairs one & making more room for the bedrooms.

[@pandemonium471]

I just started playing the sims with a single dad and his kid and I used this house! Thank you for making things like this because it made it much easier to start

[@selkiefluff]

I know many people have only base game, but I'm getting a little tired of Simsie always saying "this one is base game only so you can ACTUALLY download it", as if no one in her audience has bought any dlc in the past 8 years. Even if she uses 10 packs and I only have 7 of them, I can still download the build and replace the few plants and chairs from a different pack. I doubt majority of her audience are free to play players only, cause most people get bored of the base game fast and aren't invested enough to watch sims videos.

[@amelieg246]

Kayla you should do some basegame builds without such a tight budget so then you can actually style them how you want to
