i tried building a sims house shaped like a LLAMA

[@katietheunicorn]

Finally my niche experience training a llama can be useful. Llamas can indeed spit! They mostly do it at each other when they're annoyed, but they can do it to people too if upset. They are creatures who really need their personal space and do NOT appreciate that being invaded non-consensually. They're actually really agile and can run super fast! One fun fact is that they can move either side of their top lip independently of the other. I trained a very cute llama called Dom to put a hat on my head using clicker training, and he did a great job!

[@lauraparker6301]

The fact that I now know you can TRAIN LLAMAS?? The boost of serotonin I needed for the day.

[@mackwallace194]

Im sorry, he wore a hat?!?!? That’s so cute😭😭

[@1272britt]

lol my husbands grandma had a llama and the only person he liked was grandma, he would spit at strangers and bully the donkey she also had. He was super cool with the goats though, they would run around together. She described him as being a jerk most of the time.

I really wish they would let us get those terrain paints in an update because I notice that there are a lot of terrain paints that are not in the Build mode terrain paints, If they did then maybe we can use them to bring the lot to the road--or at least close to the road. I used to be proud of our build mode in the Sims 4, but every time they change things for the better, it is worse. I wish they would give us spiral stairs, turn the lots around to face the front, and give us matching terrain paints--oh, and more realistic plants such as herbs that don't look alike. I have never played with laundry since it turned out so buggy. That said, I would have used that room for a 3 x 1 bathroom with the shower from University or Snowy Escape--with kids, you will need more bathrooms. Come to think of it, with that terrain paint you cannot erase, I would have put rocks and landscaping on any of it I couldn't cover with the building, then just build around it. Or I would have made it into a sand pit for the kids using one of the sand terrain paints.

[@fairyoddvegan]

Since James Turner built all the official lots for the werewolves pack he asked for a matching terrain paint swatch from the werewolves world, so that he could blend the lots seamlessly 😅 so they can do it but only if James asks apparently 🥺

I left this video on pause for a while to go make dinner and came back to it while you were landscaping and furnishing it; and was just enjoying the design and COMPLETELY forgot that the layout is in literal shape of a llama. You did so good disguising it I completely forgot!!

[@laurenmcneill8212]

i do have personal llama experience! i grew up on a ranch and the llama we had was the grumpiest old man and he is everything I aspire to be

[@lucythequeer5301]

I live in Germany and we have a llama and alpaca farm nearby where you can take them for a walk. I went there a couple times and it was really fun. First, they educate you about llamas and alpacas (e.g. where they originated, the differences between llamas and alpacas, what they need to live a happy life, how to behave around them...). Afterwards, you could go in the pasture and feed them with hay and then we went on a ca. 2h long walk. It was so adorable. Now in regards to the saying that llamas spit. Yes they do, but only at each other or when they want to defend themselves. A mother might spit if she feels like someone is coming too close to her babies. It's a bit like cats. Yes they scratch you but only if they feel threatened. This is also why you shouldn't interact with baby llamas. If they see you as part of their heard they will behave accordingly. Hope this helps! (Edit: spelling)

[@justildelfi]

I would love it if you built base game houses for the not so berry challenge. The reasons are: 1. You are the creator of the challenge. 2. You are really good at building 3. I think many people play the not so berry challenge, and it's so hard to find good houses in the gallery if you don't have packs or have a few. Does anyone else agree with me?

[@Kytti-not-kitty]

i think theres a different set of rules for that as the not so berry is not a base game challenge, but even if you dont have the packs you can download the houses she builds and substitute the missing items

[@theothermrslandgraab]

I'm with you @justildelfi!

[@awdatzya]

the whole point of nsb is using PACKS, base game houses would not make much sense. limited-pack builds with only the pack for a given generation would be cool tho

[@justildelfi]

@@Kytti-not-kitty Yes, you're right. However, it would be so much better to have an all bg house ready to download. Plus, it'll be a challenge for her because her nsb houses usually use many packs.

[@justildelfi]

@@awdatzya I see your point, but the game play of the challenge has some packs required, not the houses in which they live.

[@Para20Site]

When our cat had to wear a cone she got stuck on the windowsill behind a closet underneath the window. So we put a large cardboard box (like tv box size) on the window sill, so she couldn’t get behind it. When the cone came off, she opened box on the window sill and lay inside it. Now there’s been a cardboard box on the window sill blocking part of the window for 3 years because she likes laying in it.

[@silverlief]

This would have been extra cool as a two story building, with the lower legs in slightly different positions to the upper (so it looks like a walking llama!)

[@hiam3917]

I don't have any llama experience, but a friend of mine lives on an alpaca farm with 9 alpacas, and I certainly enjoy being at her house more often than not! Such adorable creatures, they once poked their head inside the open window in the room we were in, so cute!!

[@charliecarey1834]

personal llama experience: i grew up on a farm with llamas! we live in an area kind of overrun by an invasive species called winter creeper that happens to be like candy for llamas but bad for other animals which is why we got them. they are also good pack animals so we would bring them hiking and stuff. we had two males and they were mated haha. they didn’t get along with our dogs (i get it our dogs are frankly annoying) and would spit at them sometimes. they both are dead now (one got cancer and the other died of loneliness a month later😢) but they were a lot of fun to take care of

One thing I will always believe... the brown and blue color combo is great. Its complimentary Blue and Orange but because the orange is darker, and thus brown, it adds more color value and contrast especially if the blue is on the lighter side/turquoise esc. Just- muah

[@blackfiredeath1261]

I once worked with llamas when I was working at the local zoo, they're fairly easy to care for ^^ only poop in one place which is very convenient, only thing is that they're stubborn as hell and you need to be careful not to spook them due to them being able to kick in all directions. Never got spit on, but sometimes they do if they don't like people and it STINKS xD

[@k.orberg6367]

when I went to the dentist a little while ago I was so nervous (I panic a bit and get tics when something is in my mouth or on my neck) so I explained and she was so sweet!

12:21 I think that for this to be an actual challenge you need to have every room you create connected in the main shell. Otherwise you could just block the things you don't like and make the inside a rectangle or- even worse- you could "ignore" the basement with the same logic and make it a one floor house. If you can just pretend those two squares behind the fireplace don't exist, where is the limit?

I, for some reason, know a lot about llamas (and alpacas too for that matter).

[@AviDragonLady]

I actually wanted to have a fiber animal farm! I don't have the physical stamina to do it alone, but llamas and alpacas like me. We used to have one named Dolly at the local zoo, and she'd come hang out with me. Even if there were kids with food pellets, she thought I was pretty chill. Fun fact: male alpacas growl super deep to get the gals in heat. Also, they're animals I'm not allergic to, so that would've been great. Unfortunately, I *am* allergic to hay... and dogs... so it didn't happen.

[@ninalvs]

a bit off topic, but i think sometimes you should try something different from the floor plan you usually do. for example, everytime you can fit 2+ bedrooms you turn them into a kids/teen bedroom, but you could also make them music rooms, art studios, candle makers spaces, little cinemas, laundry room etc... i think sometimes making more houses with these different, but useful spaces could be really cool!!!
