redeeming myself with a better christmas cottage build attempt

[@emuscreeches6092]

As a fellow floridian, I absolutely adore these builds. The older you get the harder it is to get into that "christmassy" mood when it's literally 70 degrees out 😅

[@ronweezer]

Don’t worry this year is going to give y’all the Christmas feel 😭 it’s supposed to hit the 20s in Florida

[@emuscreeches6092]

[@sahwangshi]

well, I'm from the southern hemisphere so I'm currently in just a workout top and shorts laying in the floor with a fan on, just pretend you're having a latinx christmas next time it's hot out there

[@FreddyKruegerTheDreamDemon]

As an Australian I understand your pain lmao

[@renskevantreijen8824]

@lilsimsie fun fact: in colder countries, houses often have a hallway! The front door opens not directly in a kitchen or living room. This is because of the colder temperatures outside. The hallway keeps cold out, and keeps the warm in!🤗

[@Stayville_Clown]

In My House we have two hallways. One entry hallway and one normal hallway. And it’s separated through 3 different doors. One goes into the kitchen, one into the living room and one into our storage room.

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

That's the thing I dislike about simmers, they seem to hate hallways lol. My apartment is divided in half by a hallway that goes from the front door through the whole place and I promise it doesn't feel as claustrophobic as they seem to think haha

[@LunaWitcherArt]

@@anthropomorphicpeanut6160 most simmers don't do hallways cuz for gameplay it is just wasted space. Also, the grid doesn't really allow for normal sizes of hallways; I like to make houses where the hall extends into a corridor with stairs on one side, and 2-tile hallways feel too small and 3-tiled ones feel too big.

[@demiguise6208]

I swear that's my one big simsie pet peeve

[@Wingedshadowwolf]

Arctic entryways too. It's basically a little room around the front door. A bit like a mudroom, they can be heated or unheated.

[@therealmolldoll8605]

I LOVE that you went all out with the packs!! I think it's so kind of you to build with limited packs but it's my FAVORITE content when you're just in your element with no limits.

[@julianadoraciotto3334]

Me too!

[@kaitlyndavis8140]

I agree lol

[@ciaomamabella]

It's so nice how many winter/christmas themed houses are being made right now. Means I don't have to do it myself xD

Its more of a drark navy blue, but i kinda agree doesnt match lol. I wouldve done a red rug instead

Fr I was like am I tripping?😭 had to screenshot and colour drop just to make sure it wasn’t some weird colour theory and it was in fact black

Having a cold climate house without a formal entry as a buffer.... oooh boy...

[@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah]

Yeah but at the end of the day, the game needs to actually function 💀

[@libramoons]

@@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYahit would still function! just be a little more annoying to play in

[@antonizajkowski9698]

What is a buffer?

[@ystacalden]

@@antonizajkowski9698Like an airlock - you have a door that opens to the cold air, a small room, and then a door that opens to the main house, so instead of all the heat going out the door, just a little from the small room does. A mudroom/laundry room on the backyard entry serves a similar function

[@marypalmer00]

@@antonizajkowski9698 I meant like a formal foyer my bad. English isn't my first language. lIke a little room that is cold when you open the door so that the main house doesn't get a wind drift

[@emiliomurkmere]

[@SmallSnailMarie]

This needs to be liked more, I will accept all the Christmas houses

You know what would be super cool? A blue and silver themed Christmas house. Blue and silver are underrated Christmas colors.

Simsie, I've already said it in your chat once (starting a whole discussion about it) and I will say it again, opening windows in the middle of winter is the most normal thing ever. Enjoy the spiky breeze and the cold while you are wrapped up in your favourite fuzzy blanket while drinking coffee

[@olidolly3599]

I really like how intentional Kayla is about how she speaks-- I've been picking up on the switch from "master bedroom" to "primary bedroom" and I think that's really good of her to do.

[@pressedrose1]

this is such a good house oh my god. it’s the kind of house that id love to actually spend time in because it’s simple and cozy but also just looks so nice, the slight festive vibes make it so warm and like i just want to watch the snow fall out the window

[@alaina281]

maybe it’s just me but that master bedroom looks so odd with a red plaid bedspread and blue rug 😅

[@chips726]

i love how accommodating kayla is to new watchers, she explains the mods, everything

[@frankiesays16]

[@julianadoraciotto3334]

Something about a funky Christmas house like simsie did before sounds so much fun than just a normally decorated one

[@hannahmah]

The other day I was sitting The lobby of my college dorm building talking to a friend. We discovered that we both play the Sims and both watched Lil Simsie. I watched A LOT when I was in high school, basically right when Kayla started her channel. We talked about different aspects of Kayla‘s life, my friend mentioned that she’s married now (congrats!), and just how well Kayla is doing and how is she’s like the queen of Sims KZbin. Our other (Who is oblivious to sims knowledge) friend looks at us and goes “you know more about this person than you know about me.” And we said Yep that’s probably true. Anyways that that was some fun funny ha has that I thought I’d share

[@aizlyndyck5555]

Ooh I absolutely love this aesthetic!! Thank you ❤❤

[@SimsLegacy5083]

Simsie, I LOVED your cottage from 2 weeks ago - made a whole family for it and used it as a backdrop one day for a CAS Advent challenge I'm participating in on Twitter. Don't short change yourself! Was it over the top? Yep. Is that necessarily a bad thing? Not in my opinion. I certainly don't go all out like that but some people absolutory do and I appreciate going to their homes for the holidays - its fun 🙂. This was great too - very understated just like you wanted. Happy Holidays to you!

The weather made my PNW home into a winter cabin last night and now I'm unsure if my Grubhub driver will be able to get here. The mail came, but is the post office more determined than a food delivery person? Who knows! When I come across this video again in a few weeks I'll let everybody know how it went!

[@olive9339]

how did it go

[@iggysmice3087]

@@olive9339 Grubhub shut down all deliveries and also my power went out shortly after I watched this video! However I discovered you can use the Taco Bell app to order delivery from them and that had not been shut down so we got dinner in the end and the power came back on in a couple of hours! It is now back to being gray, wet and about 50 degrees, so normal winter weather!

A lot of the live building takes place on her twitch channel and she posts the full vods, not cut down, on her second KZbin channel MoreSimsie in case you wanted that style of content.

[@gemtail3125]

Hey, as an idea, could you build a house that just makes you think 'warm'? Like, make it the very epitome of the kind of place you would take to refuge and hideaway during a blizzard but not holiday themed. Think I'll make one myself, too. This blizzard here in my state just makes me want to think and build warm things to cope. There's 50 miles per hour winds, subzero temps that can give you frostbite in five minutes, and people panic buying to prep for hunkering down. Love from North Dakota lol
