i tried building a restaurant with The Sims 4: Life & Death

[@Zerapheena]

I think a creepy wedding venue makes sense. The pack is Life and Death, and for many people weddings are a big part of life ☺️

[@stevegoatman1049]

You’re a genius. That’s such a good idea :o

[@josey.bri.v4492]

Kayla I need a wedding venue because I am making a family just for the daughter to date and marry Nyon.

[@erikasuttle409]

I like the idea of a creepy venue it sounds awesome

[@HimeLunaMoon]

Omg yes,irl one of my friends had a gothic wedding it was so beautiful

[@CeraisianAlchemist]

I made some of the funeral venues double as wedding spots.

[@theeverythingkid]

New library? Yes Creepy wedding venue? Absolutely Also, plain fairy lights should be added to the base game

[@isabelsteiner]

In the gallery if you search “debug sims session lights” they are in the base game since there was an event held that had those. If you just place the room and take the lights you have them!!

[@kelsidysinger7667]

There are some in debug that you can get! People upload them to the gallery to make it easier. She’s talked about it in a couple videos

[@evypilled]

There are some in debug. it really helps to download tmex's "better build buy" mod if you play on PC.

[@theeverythingkid]

There might be debug ones in the gallery because as a console player, debug and miss aren't available. Console players are lucky we have cheats now

[@ThegamergirlTee]

@@theeverythingkid yes yes and YES

[@snow_bird_0205]

Fun fact about poppies! (17:56) In Greek mythology poppies are often used as a symbol of Thanatos, the god of death who the Grim Reaper is often modeled after! So having the poppy flower in a pack centered around death and after death is very fitting!

[@tabisvilasboas]

i love fun facts about greek mythology

[@LuciaSims745]

I googled Thanatos and I saw an angel with a sword, so this is supposed to look like the Grim Reaper... I also read that it is not just greek, but also romanian, and I know that we have the grim reaper as the personification of death since medieval times in Germany and England. He is depicted as male. The Romanian Mythology also have interesting creatures and mythology. Vampires could have been inspired from the Strigoi. Pricolici are different than werewolvs, they die as a man and come back to life as a werewolf. Ielele are similar to the Sirenes of Greek mythology. And then there are Urias and Capcaun...

[@karkat14]

Love your other ideas! Creepy wedding venue is so fun

[@karkat14]

It could be grimsie’s!

[@Lunar_Tokki]

100% agree! all her other ideas sounded so fun!

[@PinkSinsila]

I respect the choice of not bringing infants/toddlers to other lots. When I was first playing with my legacy I was trying to get the babies more involved into everything but the adults refused to cooperate so I just accepted that the babies won't be a real part of the family until they're children. I love the build! I put it in my savefile the moment I finished watching the stream VOD, I also had my sims get engaged there! Had some lovely screenshots thanks to you!

[@ShadoeLandman]

The only way I’d take infants or toddlers is if the lot has a daycare area, and that still wouldn’t really work in a restaurant.

[@vfin]

THE BUILDINGS IN THE PACK ARE ROMANIAN INSPIRED??? i have the pack but i couldn’t play yet bc of the uni stuff, now as an int. arch. student hearing the architectural style is inspired by romanian architecture has made my day bc i have a romanian friend who is also studying architecture related major😭😭 we’re both archi nerds and talk about it constantly😭 now i can send him the buildings in the pack and get his opinions LMAO

[@UnassumingLlama]

This whole comment is so cute and wholesome

[@ashley-xq2fy]

I think it's Romanian Revival specifically!

[@unfortunatelyiamsane]

report back w his opinions pls 🤠

[@sarathesimmersarathesimmer1300]

Ayyee I’m Romanian & dude I’m so hype about this

[@tylerf.145]

i love the creepy wedding venue idea!! i would love to see a few small houses on one of the lots in town so that they kind of blend into the houses in town

[@SilvaInLumine]

I'd LOVE to have a simsie bingo card 😍. 'I think i'll put a Chesstable outside' 'The hallway is a great spot for a desk' 'Just a little terrain paint as a finishing touch' 'I did not mean to make it this expensive' 'Trust the process' 'oh no, why is this game doing this' 'It's the Sims 4, so of course nothing matches' 'WHY is this dence doing this?' 'Oh no, I haven't saved yet' 'I hate this game' 'Oh I love the Sims 4' 'I am a death connoisseur' 'I like to take these speedbuilts as a podcast'

[@pianopanicattack]

'it's not my fault i keep building blue suburbans, EVERYTHING in the sims 4 is blue!'

[@traviss3nte11]

please please please more building! and i can say for myself at least i don’t mind when you go over budget or use lots of packs

[@ILuvAyeAye]

I would LOVE a creepy library and wedding venue! Particularly library, a big part of the gameplay around bucket lists relies on a computer, which makes it difficult when your Sim can't afford one yet. I've been breaking into one of the nice houses and using their computer but there's got to be a better way.

[@UnassumingLlama]

There’s a $20 journal that you can use for the bucket list too! If you have parenthood, it also works as an emotional journal

[@ceasebaby]

Endometriosis? I feel you. I have PCOS. Getting a diagnosis was like “ohhh!! that’s why I feel like I’m going to die??”

[@UnassumingLlama]

PCOS bestie! I just got diagnosed a couple months ago, hope the best for you too 🫡

[@ceasebaby]

@ Thanks babe, you too! There’s a really great PCOS community here on youtube. I watched a ton of creators who give great tips to not let it control your whole life. Already making huge improvements. It can be so debilitating but it’s manageable!

[@UnassumingLlama]

@ I’ll have to check it out, thank you!

[@tabithatidd9024]

I literally just had surgery on Friday and finally found 7 lesions +scar tissue and paratubal cysts. It’s bittersweet but I’m happy that I don’t feel crazy anymore 💛🎗️

[@ceasebaby]

@@tabithatidd9024 holy crap! I’m so sorry it even got to that level! I hope you heal up and have a healthy journey from here on out!

[@venusflycowplant]

Oh I love that you thought of making a restaurant! That was the first thing I thought of in this world simply bc I thought of naming it The Ghastropub 😂😂

[@crepezzzzz]

excellent pun 10/10

[@xgeocos]

I absolutely love the idea of a spooky, gothic style wedding venue

[@ShadoeLandman]

Yesss, imagine a crumbling cathedral, asylum, etc 😮

[@kalaharidown]

Such a great build 🤎 great that you have a diagnosis for your endo, so validating when it happens - hope you're doing okay!

[@Confused_Fear]

I am absolutely obsessed with the architectural style of this build!

[@Prehknight22]

Yes on the farm idea, and I'd love a Y'alternative aesthetic, like a goth/country horse ranch?

[@Bunnybananabunny]

There's even that skeleton horse fur paint template in CAS! Would be epic!

[@gretagoogames]

welcome to the chronically ill club, kayla! we welcome you with open arms, it’s rough out there, but atleast you have answers for your pain

[@merlinho0t]

Yeah when it comes to Dine Out, you either get lucky and it actually works (even if it’s slow and buggy to actually order and be served), or it just doesn’t work at all. The fact that they still haven’t even attempted to fix it to this day is baffling.

[@Sparkling34]

17:02 I love to see kayla supporting her neighbor with the landscaping!

[@lindseyhyde8501]

I would absolutely NOT ever bring an infant/toddler sim to a restaurant. I actually don’t think I’ve ever left my home lot with one to go anywhere, ever. 🤣 Sims can BARELY take care of infants/toddlers at home, I couldn’t imagine the nightmare of bringing them to community lots. Picking up/carrying infants/toddlers is near impossible, high chairs are super buggy, even trying to put an infant in a crib can be a huge chore depending on what mood the game is in that day. 🤣 just nope.

[@madster4132]

Everyone seems to like the creepy wedding venue idea but oh how i would love to see you build a big creepy library

[@Fonzzx]

Dine Out is a pack that DESPERATELY needs a refresh like Spa Day got!

[@rebeccawaller3561]

Girl - those goblets are GORGEOUS. I think I'm going to try to find some knock offs. Have those goblets on shelves with fairy lights in them. I'm in Oregon so it's going to be cloud cover the next 6 months which I love (photophobic/photosensitive). Candles and fairylights the next several months and I couldn't be happier.

[@ServiceSailorVenus]

i’ve been watching your videos for YEARS and i love these “podcast” videos because it literally feels like we’re friends on facetime. your videos feel so causal and friendly i love getting to follow along with your life updates haha!!

[@AllHail_TheRatKing]

The build ideas you brought up seem so interesting! I’m loving seeing creators push this pack to its limits. A wedding venue is a very interesting idea. Im thinking old catholic inspired church that meets both the cemetery and wedding venue requirements

[@Aric-jc8hs]

12:07 high school years debug has really got metal fairy lights for outdoor areas

[@seaweed_dragon1158]

all the best steakhouses ive been to have had moody lighting inside, you absolutely killed this build Kayla. I absolutely live for all of your builds.

[@cn53-grantmichaellaurensma74]

You could do a series where you try to combine other packs with Life and Death, like maybe Horse Ranch + Life and death Wedding Stories + Life and death

[@Sparkling34]

watching this while waiting for the 30 × 20 tiny starter home to place from my library, its been like an hour . . .

[@its.justfae]

classic sims😭 im waiting on mine to update (its been days) but thats js my wifi loll

[@coziest.rosiest]

I’d love to see more builds where you don’t limit how many packs you use to build. They turn out so beautiful. 😮

[@ultrarzadkiebieszczadzkiep6537]

creepy wedding venue yes!!! but not like spooky stuff creepy, I would love romantic gothic creepy

[@sarahcapozio]

I love your "yapping". I hardly ever make it to your streams so I *need* these life updates. I love your content and I've been a stan for over 5 years (princess_zelda03). The cemetery and more restaurants and libraries/museums.

[@Birdie364]

Would love a farm build in Ravenwood😊

[@MintJellymp]

I love these ideas for Goth or Halloween vibes wedding, for elegant old sims or vampire sims! ❤

[@skyesthelimitro]

YES TO CREEPY WEDDING VENUE PLEASE!!!!

[@nigelrudolfsson]

bringing kids with me?! gurl, i am tired of them so everytime my sim left their house it's like a girls night, holiday or something 😂

[@beldurrita]

i love the shape, i think is one of your best

[@RoboticHandler]

You might have already had this conversation with your PCP, but def inquire if Genetic paneling is an idea to explore :) could help with knowing if there's other conditions to have an eye out for that associate with endometriosis (though it sounds like you're doing well!) Good to hear you're taking care of yourself and the wedding planning is going great!

[@Emma.06]

Definitely a creepy wedding!

[@heekilem]

i usually watch vods when i'm available but hearing you talk about the build when it's finished and you just explain things is also soo nice :')

[@karynelove96]

Are you gonna blog your wedding ceremony Kayla? I would love to see a highlight reel of your special day ❤

[@kelsidysinger7667]

She has said that they are planning too!

[@Toni_platy]

I'd love a creepy wedding venue. It also just makes so much sense

[@stormostler]

I for one loved the build AND the yapping! I wish you didn’t have to apologize for something so normal, we love hearing you talk, that’s why we’re here! ❤

[@kassandrarvr94]

I like watching these speed builds because it makes me laugh how many times Kayla switches colors of things. You don't notice until it's sped up

[@artsy_megz]

25:59 I would bring the toddler but not the baby. The baby would join the funeral, in a carrier or playmat, however not the dinner.

[@crowpriest]

I saw someone ask for a library with life and death and university on your last video! So library is perfect

[@inerciasart]

100% placing this on my main save!! And a creepy wedding venue with the castle kit would be so cool 😭

[@birdieboy6514]

The married vs wedding thing is super common even outside of covid situations lol My broke, pregnant 18 year old self couldnt afford a wedding but hopefully my 26 year old self will be able to

[@1272britt]

i love love the idea of a creepy wedding venue! this gothic church, cathedral, attached cemetery/mausoleum... it can even double as a funeral location or reception hall for other occasions

[@lildizzy72]

I like the wedding venue idea

[@ShanaChiiBaka]

The stone arch from My Wedding Stuff would be perfect for the creepy wedding venue! Doesn't have to be entirely creepy too, could just be more somber, maybe have a little more stone, maybe look a lil more worn down

[@thelorak2494]

I've been loving these builds, and I genuinely like a lot of the life and death stuff. Do you think it is worth the $40? I haven't been able to justify buying it yet. 🤔

[@queenhalalie8266]

I really like all your life and death build ideas! especially the farm!

[@alostoutcast]

nailed the transylvanian look 🥹

[@sngsalina]

this is so pretty, you outdid yourself again! i love the way it looks like an old house, renovated to be a restaurant

[@haileysteensen6904]

All of those build ideas sound incredible! ESPECIALLY the creepy or gothic wedding venue!!!

[@Hannah-mg2kk]

I am begging for a creepy wedding venue 🙏🏻 please Simsie!!!

[@lixia2545]

21:48 Omg I finally got the lore! Was following you for years now but I “hibernated” away from Sims 4 for a couple years and recently just came back 😂 But yeah, congrats! ❤🎉

[@gstvgs]

that roof is so pretty

[@lukerazer9565]

I'd love to see a spooky library!!

[@dogeatsdogdog2822]

No I don’t ever bring my toddlers or infants to restaurants in the game, or anywhere for that matter unless it’s like a toddler park that I placed

[@plushdragonteddy]

creepy wedding venue sounds great !! i literally repurposed the graveyard to be a wedding venue for my sim and her ghost fiancée lol! i used the black and red swatches from romantic garden stuff, as well as some red string lights (can’t remember what pack) going down the aisle, plus a base game red carpet. looked very spooky, perfect for an evening outdoor goth wedding. also the brides wore crow masks lmao

[@meyobrooke]

Definitely need a life and death wedding venue! Historical church vibes? The castle pack works great with life and death.

[@HimeLunaMoon]

I'm so excited for you and Dan, also I agree with you I would leave the infants at home/daycare in The Sims.

[@SaraDeAra]

A creepy wedding venue could be perfect for ghost weddings. For those wanting to get married after death. It could also work for occults. I would love to see this!

[@etherealmoon7169]

"Pufferfish Nigiri that might kill you" Me: Thats okay! Cuz if a sim dies, there's a funeral house down the block 😂😭

[@cheesygeese1970]

Thanks for keeping me sane this week

[@adrienhorrell5612]

I also just learned i have endometriosis!! Apparently my symptoms were not normal.... 😬

[@acidicfairy]

Cake tasting was my favourite part of wedding planning. We loved our wedding cake so much we got the lady to make us a baby shower cake just so we could have more cake 🤣

[@lovelyviruz]

I love all 3 of those ideas. Please do them. I would love a creepy library and wedding venue.

[@alexanderthomas6474]

“Get together debug bush” is my new favourite sentence 2024. Ps. You’re my go to comfort content at the moment, I love what you do! Thank you for your work, it brings all the cosy vibes I need. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@amanduhlozada]

I love how excited she gets talking about her wedding 🥺❤️

[@anyawillowfan]

Most of the time I wouldn't bring an infant or toddler to a restaurant (or really any lots other than libraries and parks), but I would if I was doing a family reunion type event (and honestly, when it comes to funerals I might bring them, as I often do for weddings, but depends), and usually I add an item to keep them busy so I don't actively have to look after them while I focus on social interactions with everyone else. And please don't apologise for yapping, it's literally the reason I enjoy your content so much.

[@FlowerCatEnthusiast]

The creepy wedding venue sounds amazing! I would download that in a heartbeat, and I normally don't download builds. I love Simsie's videos, they're really soothing. PS. Feel well soon, Simsie- and I totally would have brought the infant/toddler. I might bring the toddler a sack lunch and have them eat separately, though, and the infant would just have to be breast/bottle fed and alternated between parents.

[@annemiekayla]

No worries, we love the yapping ❤

[@sealie0726]

I would LOVE to see the creepy wedding venue. Whether its more gothic or more Halloweeny, I'm sure it'll look great!

[@rebeccawaller3561]

My new favorite dessert that I seem to find all over Oregon - lemon berry marscapone cake. I would love to see that represented in the Sims.

[@hollyannehoernig7663]

Yes! Creepy wedding venue!!

[@hijlaa]

Maybe a rec center could be a fun challenge! There is so much focus on death in this pack, but a place for people to gather and do activities with friends and family could be nice.

[@alfredricketts3791]

This is absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤ i love this green as well 🫶🏽

[@Rivkahwastaken]

Im 100% on board with the creepy wedding pitch as long as you make it into a medieval gothic cathedral using L&D and the castle estate kit.

[@AZIZAxBLUE]

Love the exterior of this!! One of my favourites you’ve done! 🧡🙌🏽

[@Rissasaysso]

Yes!!! Creepy wedding venue is a must!!! ❤❤❤

[@senanurgulecoglu97]

I never bring a baby to the restaurant. Even toddlers always want to get off from the highchair and cry its annoying

[@ycsdramaqueen]

Oh, I love this idea. I might make a cafe or bakery here with a library attached. The perfect spot for someone to get coffee or something small after a funeral and work on the Ghost Historian aspiration.

[@SadieCarpenter-ft4he]

Now this is my day better!

[@l.graceaddie2224]

A creepy wedding venue might be a need. It would fit SO WELL with this pack!

[@AnnieEvers]

I got married on October 5th this year and absolutely nothing went according to plan, but it ended up beyond perfect. Good luck with your wedding!

[@TheMikZino]

I love this! I'm always fine with more community lots, my sims need to get out! 😀 I always love to build restaurants, for the same reasons you mentioned. For Library and wedding venues, I usually download one of yours. 😊

[@markabele8794]

It's a nice restaurant. I would suggest for future lots: a general park, or a rental apartment. I can't think of other lots that would be suited to this world.

[@AinsleyPhipps]

Speed build Sunday!!!!!!! When we needed it most, she brought it back 💙

[@dogeatsdogdog2822]

I need more lilsimsie community lots and restaurants ❤❤❤❤

[@ashley-xq2fy]

Because of the terrain paint glitch, I've started saving my lots to my gallery (not sharing them, just saving them to my private gallery) every time I exit the game or go into manage worlds. That way I always have a version of the lot with the terrain paint saved if it decides to delete the terrain ever. Alsoooo a creepy wedding venue would be fantastic for goth sims!

[@katieseabolt7694]

Babes the eyebrows look so slay all natural. I love them

[@Slightly_random_artist]

You should rebuild the whole world! Love the creepy wedding venue idea!

[@mimziiie]

I'm currently building a massive castle on the 64x64 lot and I will have a ghost lady and lord and their Buttler live in it. With a stable, nectar making in the basement and crop on the lot also. Man I love this pack

[@madelinehogan7757]

I love this build! more community lots plssss

[@Pastel00Peach]

Oh Kayla…felt. I’m on day 15 of my period (which is heavy and cramp-y due to PCOS), while also having an extended fibro flare up that’s basically bed ridden me for over a week. Watching your videos from bed with Advil and a heating pad. I’m so sorry that you have Endo, that really sucks…I’m glad you have an answer to the “mystery” but man I wish it had been something with a cure. I hope you’re feeling better today (when I comment this, I mean) Also those cups were 100% a necessary upgrade! Sooo cute. If I could do my Covid wedding over again, I’d definitely go with a pink theme, it’s my favorite color

[@tacobell8920]

i still cannot figure out why the sims team never hires kayla to make builds for the packs (other than growing together)

[@UnassumingLlama]

She’s also done Snowy escape, but y guess is they can’t always use Kayla for every pack. For one it might be overwhelming for her to do it every time a new pack comes out and for two, there’s a whole community of sims builders and it’s odd to just use the same 2-5 creators out of 100+

[@joannagerberding7271]

Kayla: apologizes for yapping Me, seeing a speedbuild: yessss podcast time with Kayla!
