i tried building a CUBE HOUSE in the sims

[@JuMixBoox]

I was confused for a moment why metal chairs wouldn't be good outside, but then I relaised while they fulfill my outdoor requirement of being waterproof and withstanding stormy weather, they do not fit Simsie's requirement of not burning your skin in the Florida sun.

[@headachefromgod]

and if they're not rust-free they might, yknow, rust, too.

[@zareplayssims]

I love how all of us sims builders have guidelines for our building that purely only come from real life 😭

[@joelmelissam]

Or branding the back of your legs here in Australia..😅

[@Politzk]

​@@zareplayssims For me I always need a roomba. I don't have a roomba right now but my friend does have one and god is it useful. Even though they don't do much in game I still just need them. I also always use the naming feature to name the roomba Toby because why not. Edit: I also have autism so I get attached to objects very easily so that probably feeds into my need for a roomba named Toby in the sims lmao

[@eveedgarlopez]

@@Politzk wait, you can name objects???

Lilsimsie build challenge where she is not allowed to use blue OR white OR black. I wanna see those colorful builds!! (loving the yellow btw)

[@NgarakoryFalls]

Blue is colourful tho! 💙

[@ebbawikstrom4087]

@@NgarakoryFallsyeah but everything she makes is blue. So if it’s a challenge blue can’t really count tbh. For Kayla blue is equivalent to black or white at this point

[@NgarakoryFalls]

@@ebbawikstrom4087 oh ya true ty for telling me xx ❤️

Exactly 💯

[@GirlOfTheTardis]

Was gonna comment this too

[@matthijs741]

A fun fact about the cube houses, they are also in one other city in the Netherlands, Helmond has the same houses build by the same architect. People have their own front door in the pillar, with stairs leading to their house and storage space for one or two bikes😁

[@mads8582]

just so you know if you use move objects to put the separate stove and oven onto one counter they still cook on that counter!! really useful for small spaces

[@mossytile]

can they still use the oven and stovetop?

[@friendlyneighborhoodnecrom4556]

those cube houses make me dizzy! living in one would be like living in an MC Escher painting

[@annettexx5947]

The inside is not that bad, a little impractical but not necessarily dizzy

[@ShadoeLandman]

@@annettexx5947 They would definitely throw off my ability to walk. I'm Autistic and I have bad balance from fluid in my ears from allergies, so I depend a lot on vision to know what's upright, and these angles are definitely bad for many of us. It would be like walking in a funhouse with tilted floors for me.

[@localgothbruv]

OMG MY FATHER HELPED ON THE CREATION OF THE CUBE HOUSES!!! edit: he has sadly passed away, on july 17th 2024

[@antonizajkowski9698]

WHATTTT that's so cool!!!!!!

That's so cool that your father helped create these 🫶✨ I'm so, so sorry to hear about your loss.

[@wholesome_weeaboo5054]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[@sarahtrench4599]

Oh wow I’m so very sorry for your loss, they add so much character to Rdam! My best friend has a view of them from her balcony and they always make me so happy to look at 🥹 your dad’s legacy will live on 💛

[@yfkevangeest8748]

No worries, I grew up in Rotterdam and I think the cube houses are also really really weird, and are also one of the first things I think about when picturing the city

[@Armando2609]

In case you haven't seen it, you should totally go see the (huge) public artwork known as Gnome Buttplug (Kabouter Buttplug). The city councel agreed on it because they truly believed the gnome was holding a christmas tree, but even the artist himself explained that he was first and foremost inspired by the shapes of sex toys.

[@ii-aspen]

i really want to see simsie do a build where it could just be anyything but shes NOT allowed to use blue or yellow in any capacity, i think she'd struggle with it haha

[@raffyoli]

the bike really brought out the rotterdam in this build

[@nicolepenagarcia]

I literally lived like 10 minutes away from these cube houses in Rotterdam, right near Blaak! I lived there while I was studying at Erasmus University.

[@mollieherlocker5918]

Definitely a fun build. I actually said "ooh" when you tested the mosquito stuff wallpaper in the living room -- I think that would have looked neat!

[@KittyCat260]

You mean Moschino stuff? 😂

[@twistykrisp]

@@KittyCat260Kayla calls it Mosquito because she hates the pack lol

[@molkonafty]

As a person living in the Netherlands, I can say that this house is very Dutch for me 😂 Not saying that all houses are like this, but strange small spaces and angles is definitely a thing here

[@mistyamarch]

i love the yellow and different vibes! but i wish youd just go for single homes sometimes, have a hobby room or office that could be converted down the like, instead of always kids rooms. itd be super fun to see, dont feel afraid to go for it sometimes when you consider it! 🥰

[@willmrgn]

STOP I BOUGHT GET TOGETHER TODAY AND THIS IS THE LOT I BUILT ON

[@sirgaykrovos]

wait!! this is so cool!! making a build related to somewhere you're physically going to is such a fun concept; I love it!!!

[@goatgirl1998]

I celebrated NYE 2018/19 in one of these very cube houses! Hahah never in my wildest dreams thought that kayla would make a video about them. loving her europe era!!

[@badwolfgoddess]

Omg really? What were they like in person?

[@goatgirl1998]

@@badwolfgoddess tbh they look crazier from the outside than they are from the inside! the floors aren't tilted, much to my dismay. The windows are in odd places and the ceiling is uneven, but besides that, they look rather normal. But I also was there only during the night at a party so the illusion might be different if you're inside there by day!

[@yoonsijo]

Stayed in one of these during a school vacation and let me tell you. It gets HOT in there. Since the windows are weirdly placed they don't open wide so there came a musty smell after 2 days. For the rest it was quite the experience !

[@LaurenBollen-t5y]

I live in Rotterdam and it is sooo cool you dedicated a build to the city!😍

[@AgentPilot]

This is my favorite thing Kayla has built in a long time; as much as she always nails suburban family homes, I love when she goes outside of her comfort zone, because it always turns out amazing 🥰

[@maggie4028]

The kind of futuristic style plus the yellow really does give Yellow Gen of NSB!

[@snowtinttu3562]

Have fun in Rotterdam! Would love to see a vlog💅

[@arpilclark1]

*deletes window. "What happened to my window?"

[@Nora-126]

I cracked up when I saw that

[@Call.Me.Shayne]

😂

[@avabavamava]

You should do a Rubik's cube build where the outside is a massive Rubik's cube and then each room inside is a color from the cube! Loving the builds

[@elinvdv]

I live in Rotterdam!! seeing vids inspired by this city make me so happy :)🌟 And yes I know the ‘kubuswoningen’ are ridiculous lmao

[@_alikasta_1300]

i looove when you go out of your comfort zone and build in modern styles. in real life, i prefer a more traditional interior bc that’s what i grew up in and what gives me comfort, but i also enjoy new, unconventional stuff as an artist and like to experience them too while i can :] seeing you build something like this gives me the same feeling, like just experimenting and having fun and figuring out it doesn’t have to be ‘normal’ to work

[@explodingsnowmanyt]

I’m Dutch, yet I’ve never seen a cube house in Rotterdam lmao 😂 Loved the build though! Hope you have/had a good time at Twitch-con!

[@paytonh.9110]

the moschino wallpaper looked so good behind the couch! haha i respect your judgment though, even if it is broadly more neutral than i would've chosen

Kayla makes building in the sims look way too easy

Pleas try some dutch snacks like stroopwafels and frikandelbroodjes(they also come with a vegatarian/vegan options at the supermarket called Albert Heijn

[@lucilleverton5202]

The veggie ones from Jumbo are 10x better tho hahahah

[@flora.lesbis]

You can use the dream home decorator stove as a regular counter so you dont have to have anymore counter space if that makes sense.Hope that helps!

[@didi2943]

I love seeing you build more modern houses haha 💗

[@Benjamin-qf9ni]

I have been in one of those houses! it was really cool, because all the walls are slanted, people had to have custom build shelves made.

[@joannaellis7890]

Honestly respect for the cube houses for figuring out how to make a space modern AND cozy. The small spaces and built-in's actually make the rooms feel inviting as opposed to our modern trends of giant rooms with a white couch and two gray chairs floating in the middle

[@mettevankla14]

Love the white, blue, yellow combo !! Actually such a fun little build

[@peppermint4617]

did anyone else see her delete the window at 9:52 😂 I do stuff like that all the time lol

[@Pannenkoekenplantje]

I love the love for Rotterdam :) it's competing for my favourite city I lived in. Idk if you also visited the Markthal next door, but that would be a very cool retail/restaurant community lot to build too

[@nussknackerin20]

My anxiety was quite high thinking about having to sleep on this second flour with my head agains a glass fence ^^

her deleting the sink instead of swapping where the plant goes or just removing it was wild

Omg Simsie it looks so cute 😊 I actually built an *Infinity Cube Challenge* in the Gallery. There's a couple different versions but I'd love to see what you'd do with it!! Tfs 💛

I absolutely ADORE this! All its quirkiness is so cute! I'll definitely be looking for it on the gallery 😊

[@lils770]

9:50 watching kayla delete her placeholder furniture and accidentally delete the window and then ask where the window went 2 secs later was hilarious 😂

[@justinabean94]

Blue and yellow are complimentary colors so never feel weird about having them as a color scheme. I recommend getting a pocket color wheel or having a little one up on a screen! I use mine for everything 😂 this build turned out super cute !

[@noodlerdoodler]

i saw the cube houses in march when i went abroad for the first time ever!!!!! so excited to hear simsie talk about them, i think they're so cool you should visit the market hall across from them!!

if you put the oven and the top in the same counter the oven isn't functional, the have to be in separated counters to be functional

this makes me so happy to see cos (before i dropped out lol) i went to art school near these houses. im not even dutch lol but rotterdam is lovely

I live next to the cube houses, saw a notification and immediately thought about the cube houses. Now i open the video and it's actually about them 🤩

[@saraa3418]

Kayla, you're too hard on yourself. You tend to do a good job with more modern builds and you tend to do a good job with things that are slightly off. It's just outside your comfort zone so you aren't comfortable with what you're doing or how to do it. It's ok to feel uncomfy while doing something new. Thank you for showing people how to keep going while experiencing this kind of feeling.

[@TheFangedwolf]

This was such a fun build. I really enjoy when you do weird builds

They remind me of Habitat 67 in Montreal. Simsie should build something inspired by that! It would still be tricky, but I think slightly more possible than these ones are. 😅
