building a *renovated* factory in the sims

[@NiomiJo]

Kayla, try not to worry about not sharing the wedding details. (Easier said then done). Sharing details can sometimes be dangerous. I'm just happy you're going to have a wedding wedding! Best of luck during the process coming up to it❤

[@babsstarchaser]

She's always been so careful about the info she shares in her videos, and even then people have showed up at her previous apartments before. So I understand her hesitancy with sharing wedding details.

[@cloudsofsunset7323]

saaad, my gossip side wanted to see the dress🙈 eitherway, her wedding, her choice

[@HunnieBee803]

Yes share what you want after if you want ... And yes if I was you I wouldn't share the date and place lol no telling who would show up

[@kaydenk4111]

i feel she'll probably end up sharing more details about it *after* she has the wedding

[@King.of.Battleships]

The internet is dangerous

[@josephs1701]

Kayla, I struggle with self confidence issues myself, I understand how you feel about your wedding dress. Fashion has become a source of comfort for me. All I can say is this, if it doesn’t make you happy when you put it on - it’s not the right dress for you. When a garment is right, it speakers louder than the internal monologue :) - good luck!

[@beentheredonethat30]

A good tip I found when i was scared of wearing something outside that I liked but wasn't sure what people would think, is that personally when i walk in the street even if I see someone that's dress in a way that i dont necessarily love I'm gonna have forgotten about them 15 seconds later! So it was easy going out and thinking well if they dont like it they wont even remember it so! (I mean it doesn't really work for a wedding but😅)

[@silence7794]

@@beentheredonethat30omg i got this outfit that i havent worn outside because i’m scared of what people think and you saying this just gave me the confidence too put it on

[@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah]

@@silence7794 GOOD! Trust me, people will not remember! And if they do its more often than not it’s because they liked your outfit! Wear what makes you happy!

[@fullshewolf]

Totally agree that it's not the right dress if it doesn't make you happy when you put it on! And the other side of that coin is that finding the right dress doesn't necessarily involve a dramatic eureka moment for everyone. In my case, I had tried on a few dresses at several shops rather quickly, then just happened to realize that I was hanging out in one chatting with the shop employees about the little adjustments I would probably want to make to fit my vision. My mom pointed out that it almost seemed like I didn't want to take that dress off, and she was right - I was just happy in it! I tried on more dresses after that one, and I kept finding myself comparing them to it, and I ended up going back for it because I just kind of knew deep down that I was drawn to it. And after those little alterations I had envisioned, it was absolutely perfect!

[@josephs1701]

@@fullshewolf Great point, my grandma was a seamstress and alterations can make a dress fit your vision!

[@maddummel]

every time you do sth outside of your comfort zone of the "blue suburban" I am just blown away. Like don't get me wrong, I love these, too but this? A freaking masterpiece

[@TamaraH565]

Absolutely. I loved it!

[@dahliasjournal]

i am so obsessed with this style, i LOVE the industrial loft kit!! even if its not super big and easy to use with others, idk its just so nice to me

[@neverlandwinwin6095]

I love it as well! It's one of my fav because it's so my style

[@rialiaw]

Big Princess Diaries renovated firehouse vibes. Even the right neighbourhood!

Remember she said she's gunna use all the packs, she warned us yesterday.

I'm ready

[@darksalt4570]

Omg yess

[@verylindsay3289]

I LOVE this build! What a cool idea! I'd love to see more "renovated" spaces like this from you! Maybe a building like this turned into a wedding venue? I got married in an old ribbon mill and it was very similar to this! OBSESSED!!!

[@BD-mb8ol]

An old ribbon mill?!?! That sounds freakin' epic

[@shining_sea-gish8885]

YES definitely more "renovated" spaces, I'm all for it!!! (And your wedding venue sounds amazing!)

[@ForWhomItConcerns]

I hope the dress shopping wasn’t stressful and went smoothly for you! It’s so nice to hear that you and Dan are giving yourselves the wedding you deserve after COVID and all that visa stuff

[@CherieLovesParis]

Wooooww I need this!!! It’s just perfect for the family I’m playing with rn😍😍😍 I love the “Kayla doesn’t limit herself with packs or budgets and lets creativity flow” type builds soooo much

[@rachicolate]

There really is something about this lot that lends itself so well to industrial builds, I also have a converted factory home there in one of my games. It just feels right

[@kaitlindiekman3642]

So I'm an older mom in my 30s. I love The Sims. I have to say Kayla you have fast become my favorite yt simmer. Your builds are great and you seem so genuine. Congrats on all the exciting wedding news! And please only share what you feel comfortable with. ❤

[@robinatdawn]

I think this is one of the best buildings you've ever done!!! the style and the lowkey art pieces scattered around, the place looks like it belongs to a famous artist living in a big city, like New York (don't come from me, I live in Europe) it's so soo good!!! 👏👏👏

[@tawn2009]

Hi Kayla, Don't be nervous about dress shopping. When I went with my daughter it was lovely. Very private. Also I think for safety I suggest making a little montage of what you feel comfortable sharing after the wedding. Have fun planning!😊

[@sophia-grace]

kayla, around 7:50 you discuss some of the sims drama and as a newer sims player, i would love a chit chat video of you discussing all the drama that has ensued over time especially w sims 4, like the window for example lol

[@Gachalifelover9245quenoftiktok]

I literally cannot find ANY good builds that fit this lot on the gallery that use the packs I own, I just have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😊 Also I’m very happy you get to have a actual wedding!

[@skinnyhampster]

Just a heads up, she did let us know yesterday that this lot uses (almost?) every single pack.

[@Gachalifelover9245quenoftiktok]

⁠@@skinnyhampsteri know that she did say that and i have almost all the packs that she used so that’s okay for me

[@silas_sandbox]

throwback to when i first got into the sims and literally thought there was a "mosquito stuff" pack that introduced mosquito bites and bug spray

[@avioletsea]

please don't give EA any ideas 😂

I mean, there kinda is with Jungle Adventure lmao

[@Tirwlygirly]

​@@scrollquilland kinda in snowy escape hikes as well (ik I'm late)

You should do a let’s play in this build! This is also a perfect wedding venue as well lol the outdoor space is perfect!

[@charloud107]

Even Brindleton bay back than was too big. Yes, there were things to do, but by the time you walked somewhere you had to pee.

[@taliak8760]

Why is this literally true in real life 💀

Yes oh my god my sims live in the back of the rural area of BB and trying to walk places takes forever

[@cokeunity5652]

[@lanaharris6338]

Oh, this is my favourite build I think you’ve ever done, Kayla!

[@isaaclim8645]

Agreed! She hates industrial but this looks amazing!

[@julima390]

Kayle uses the industrial loft kit in any build Also kayla "So about this window.."

[@AzuRemilia]

Ngl, I love watching your videos as noise to fall asleep to but every time I looked over I was just absolutely in LOVE with this build - I love the bold, vivid color palette choices for each room! I also squealed when I saw you add the flag on the wall in the girl's bedroom, such a beautiful touch

[@jgr_lilli_]

Some friends of my family moved into a renovated fin-de-siècle (1890/1900) factory building when I was little. It had a giant two-story living room with the kids' rooms, bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor and kind of a maisonette corridor going up to the middle level, with bathroom and parents' room. And the best thing: They had SWINGS hanging from the ceiling for us kids. It felt like an urban fairytale.

[@sofiathegoodwitch]

watching this on stream was everything !!

[@spencermorgan6092]

This is hands down my favorite build that you have ever done. I love the brick walls, the metal accents, the furniture, the color scheme. Just all of it! Amazing job! Also congrats on the wedding! Hope it all goes smoothly

[@anthonypierson1312]

you should build a house in an old church or an aquarium like how fun would it be to build fish tanks and the whole space

[@aybikeerol7755]

AND btw I think creating a backstory for the build and the sims that live in it is such a great idea! It gives us inspiration for our games too

[@davidanoles]

My sims live in this house already, I downloaded it from the gallery a week ago. It’s a great build.

[@lukvanleeuwen7603]

OMG Kayla I absolutely LOVE this build!!! It's so inspiring! Now I really wanna build something for a single painter mom and her child or something. I love how everything fits so well together and all the painting spots?? SUPER cool

[@aybikeerol7755]

Simsie I've been a fan of yours since years and I must say this is like one of your best builds. I think top 5. This is amazing and really makes me wanna play the game. Unfortunately I don't have that many packs but wow this is great. You are so creative and talented

[@angelof_music95]

LOVE this build and the Werewolf build!!! watched both streams and downloaded them for my legacy once they were on the gallery! you do such a good job even when its outside your normal build style! truly amazing builds! can't wait to see more and more Kayla!!

[@rosebush18]

I would love to see Kayla attempt to recreate this building “before” the renovation! Awesome build!

[@bellarellaa]

this might be my favorite ever build from you !! the decor, the color scheme, the layout, the exterior, all of it was soo well done !!

[@andreamyob9458]

I love the light in that build and the teal wall in the kitchen works so well with the industrial kitchen set.

[@LitteSun91]

I'm happy to hear what you are preparing/doing for your wedding without having any details, it's just fun to hear about! Don't feel bad for sharing or not sharing things, it's your big moment! :D And the engagement photos are sooooo beautiful ❤

[@chickenabulas4673]

this build is so gorgeous i love when you build with this style it really brings out alot of your creative juices

[@alex9190]

im so happy for you and dan!! i think keeping the details private is the way to go. i hope you find a dress you love that makes you feel special!!

[@mikelows1988]

Loved this built! 100% gonna use it 🌆

[@meemogan]

You picked some *beautiful* colors this time! I'm partial to more saturated tones instead of pastels, so I was delighted to see how much bright color was in this build!

[@luciacastille]

when it gets closer to your wedding i'd love for you to do some wedding venues!

[@vibu7636]

This building is so amazing! I have been living to Istanbul with the ocean view for the year, it was lovely 🥰

[@FalconFern-e6r]

Eek! This is so cool! I just finished two factory builds cuz im making a community space factory, love seeing a factory as a converted house ❤

[@Haliceph]

Idk anything about trying on wedding dresses but if you're still thinking of how that dress made you feel next week it's probably good contender. You got this Kayla!

[@kolyan0220]

I love this build! Also please continue making longer speedbuilds, they're fun

[@notyourboi4076]

I totally understand your trouble with needing the doors centered, I go through the same struggle every build 😅 congrats on the wedding stuff, like others have said dont feel too pressured to share.

[@JBabyLeather]

I understand confidence issues. One thing you don’t have to feel unconfident about though is the spilled. It’s honestly gorgeous. I think the primary bedroom is one of the most beautiful bedrooms you have ever made. Really this was a really great build.

[@PlanetButta]

Omg I love love love this build. This house would be my dream.

[@mason2098]

Great luck with the wedding and all your dress adventures! Love knowing how it goes, don't doxx yourself but have so much fun! Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@steggopotamus]

I wondered why that window seemed like it's own thing. It's a cool window. glad it's in base game. I started playing two months ago. Thanks for the info!

[@evawehner3812]

I´m usually not a fan of industrial-style houses, but this build fully convinced me to give this style a try. I would move in immediately, the house is so so beautiful!

[@Bexorcistt]

Gosh wedding dress shopping is so nerve wracking but so exciting at the same time. I had this image in my head of the style of dress I wanted but then hated them when I tried them on! Ended up getting a mermaid gown that I never thought I’d like, I actually cried when I found “the one” which I also didn’t think I’d do!! Send out your save the dates asap so people that are traveling can prepare!

[@myriameghan4062]

Kayla, I LOVE your long form speed builds, they're so good and the perfect length of time for my lunch break from work ♡♡ keep up the great work please ♡♡♡

[@LanaABA]

I love this build. It makes me want to play in it. I would like to see more skill-related builds like this one. Yes, they may be not generic but it's a big plus for me. You can create storytelling through builds. A house for a scientist with some equipment from the career and a lot of logic-related items. A house for someone who's clearly into sports. A house for a cook who is in love with what they do for a living. We have so many cool interactive items and decorations now that we got thousands of packs.

[@julianadoraciotto3334]

i love to hear about Kayla's life updates, I'm so happy for her ❤❤

[@infinidragon]

Solid build, I really like the dining room too with the big window. Only criticism is the garage door for painting doesn't lead anywhere since it's on the kitchen wall, throws me off a bit since they'd get rid of that door if they were making it a kitchen IRL, but otherwise I really like it!

[@rachelthuro4094]

One of the bridal stores I shopped for a wedding dress at was a renovated factory. The place was massive and it ended up being one of the worst experiences I had while shopping, compared to the smaller bridal boutiques.

[@hannahforst6421]

This is def one of my favorite builds you’ve done so far!! Amazing job bestie ❤❤

[@neopet13]

Love this build! I have a perfect family to use it,not in the same lot though cause one of my families lives there lol. I have a family I made ages ago and I never got to play them much. It has 2 siblings,a brother and a sister and the 3rd girl is just a friend but I always had the idea that she is an artist. The color scheme really matches their colors as well hehe. I just don't love the house they live in now but I think this would be perfect for them! awesome job 😄

[@argella1300]

23:47 yep transom windows above doors were part of how homes & buildings were heated or cooled before central heating/cooling was invented. You could still keep doors closed for privacy, but open the transoms for airflow

[@lawreb91]

It took my sister two stores before she found her dress, and it wasn't my first pick, but it made her happy! I hope whenever you do find your dress, it's a wonderful experience.

[@rees3spuffs]

I love how you share your process with building these things ^^

[@hanhmoon1731]

Hi Kayla! make sure you keep your mind open with dresses.. I could not get on board with any of the "wedding" dresses because I just felt so out of place in them. I ended up getting a dress from modcloth that was not a wedding dress, so it was significantly cheaper and it fit my vibe and comfort levels a lot more. Make sure that you are shopping for what you like and not what you think everyone else likes :)

[@shro_okee]

I'll totally download this factory build, love it

[@caitlinhebron1599]

i have a transom window on my bedroom door and i acc love it compared to regular doors, def in support!

[@yooniekosmo]

i think this might be one of my favorite builds of yours !!

[@katie_lese]

Hoping dress shopping went well! Probably too late for this, but don't be afraid to be honest with the stylist at the salon. I was feeling really anxious about shopping for my own dress and letting my stylist know ahead of time helped so much. A lot of stylists will absolutely meet you where you're at!

[@lovidora]

I absolutely Love this build and the storyline!

[@vanessamariaa]

This is my new favorite build of yours. I’m literally an artist and my decor aesthetic is like industrial meets Victorian so the mixed woods and metals and the gallery wall with the deep toned paint colors is just to die for. You just absolutely killed this one

I can confirm that you’ve done a good job in emulating the industrial style. The city I used to live in (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) has literally an entire district that used to be Philips factories that is now turned into housing and is very reminiscent of what you’ve built

When I went wedding dress shopping the one thing I was convinced I didn’t want was a satin dress, and that is exactly what I ended up with 😂 it’s good to have ideas but open to change lol, hope it goes well!
