I love apartments in the sims, like it feels realistic to me, but one thing that I hate is that the sims never added the apartment lot type to the basegame, or to city living, so if they ever do a refresh, that would be a great place to start.

@@cosmic7336 I see your point, but it feels like now that the pack has been out for so long, the more noticeable it is, like cause you would think a pack that’s supposed to be about living in the city you would think that they would add the lot type so you can make your own, not to mention that with My Wedding Stories, they added the wedding venue lot type, but weddings were already in the game, so I guess it’s not that valid.

I feel like they should have done this, too. I am kinda sad that we can’t make apartments.

fun fact!! You can actually remove the "little quirks" the apartments have by not paying your rent so the sent someone over to swush all your furniture away. BUT if the lot is completely empty they will go for these qirks and you'll get rid of them permanently. Happened to me by accident but I think it's pretty useful when you like the apartment but not the things that come with it

I agree!

Please never feel constrained about packs. It's cool to see your vision... and if we like the layout we can always substitute missing items... or perhaps it will inspire us to pick up a new pack.

“It does work it’s just annoying” is the overarching theme for the Sims 4 lol

The apartments are my FAVORITE place to start sims! Cheap, I like buying them empty and furnishing as my sim earns. They're much less overwhelming to decorate and such without worrying about the exterior.

When I discovered that get famous rug I immediately loved it because I’ve always over looked it because of the default swatch, but it’s actually amazing! It’s kind of the best rug in the game because of its design- not only the patterns but the style of rug changes and you piece it together. They should make more rugs like that.

Lol. I've played Sims since the very beginning, off and on through the years (i'm almost 48). The sims actually piqued my interest in 3D characters in general. I finally found a program called Poser and, for many MANY years, happily "played" with my virtual dolls. In fact, that's what that particular community (3D Artists) calls the base figures that we then customise, pose, render, bring into postwork & create beautiful art with. That said, I never once thought to apply the term to the Sims, although it is accurate! As soon as Kayla said it, a light bulb went off in my head. Just wait til my partner hears he's been playing with Virtual Dolls! Knowing him, he'll just laugh and load his game up!

I made a doll apartment from three cube shaped cubbies in one of those modular shelf things you're supposed to put canvas-covered boxes in, once. The furniture was made of building blocks and other things I found around the house, and since the bottom cube was right near the floor I used it as a garage for the doll's car, which I'd made from Tinkertoys.

I always prefer playing in apartments bc it’s small and contained. People don’t build/decorate in them enough anymore.

this might be my favorite build of yours? something about the color choice and palette and even small things like the patterns in rugs feel so warm and modern and retro at the same time. it looks like a truly lovely and realistic place to live

who else loves when simsie furnishes apartments it’s my fav videoooo!!!!

i love how the red counters inspired the whole build then she changed them right away 😂

I like how the red counters that inspired the whole build got scrapped! 😂 Super cute apartment though

i was a big lps kid too! i did have a big doll house though, but because it was so big my lpses didn't fit properly so i would use boxes and steak knives to build my own dollhouses for them. my grandparents used to go to a hardware store like every weekend, so i would go there with them and just stand in the colour swatch section and pick out all the "wallpapers" and flooring i wanted until they came and picked me back up to leave. it was a great time.

simsie your videos have done so so much for me recently i really need something to look forward to every day and this hits the spot. thank you so much for your content and energy.

When it comes to how the Sims built and decorated houses and apartments, most of it is hideous and I always redecorate. I've never tried bulldozing an apartment, except the penthouse because that's easy to place. They need to allow more room to edit apartments like being able to change the doors. One time I had a bad glitch in a game where my Sims apartment door completely disappeared and of course you can't put one in so the only way my Sims could leave was for me to teleport them and I ended up moving them out. They need to fix it where you can replace apartment doors, if for no other reason than a door disappearing. lol. I love the way you decorate places in your game.

it’s so nice to see you using items other than base game!! looks great

This whole apartment is giving me New Girl vibes. Like the gang moved out and a family moved in

The take on not ever stopping playing with dolls got me 🤣 I've been trying to figure out what the feeling was when I play sims and this made it click

I love style and colors of this apartament, it's quite unconventonal. Also, What I specificly like in your buildings are small rooms - You always menage to make them feel nice and cosy. I love your building style :D

Sorry that im late, but it just makes me so happy when you post, it always puts a smile on my face and make me laugh!

I always love when you do ‘unlimited’ pack builds. I totally get why you usually limit the amount of packs, and also do just base game, but it’s always so fun to see what you do with the full extent of the game.

I LOVEEE THISSSSSSSSS!!!!!! so glad ur branching out, it looks super cool with all the colors!!!!

I love apartments in sims. I always make lots into apartments, its so fun. And this apartment is so cute

loved this!! as always but this was extra cozy & i love when you go out of your comfortzone !! i’m trying to do that more.

I had a friend who lived in an apartment in a small city's downtown and it had no windows at all. There were two doors and a skylight that used to exist but had been boarded over at some point. I couldn't have done it, but he said he didn't mind. It was only for a year.

I build a foyer or little hallway around the front door! Then I can use whatever door I want as the "front" door. Sometimes I'll put laundry or a trash can in it depending on how much room I'm trying to waste

Oh I love this!! Finally something that uses lots of packs! I purchase all of the packs that come out mainly for the cas and decorating items so I’m excited to see a build that uses different things!

This is such a pretty apartment! I love the colours you used and the diagonal walls at the corners make the rooms look so nice and cosy

i love these videos so much! building videos or challenges are the best love you kayla

absolutely in love with the living room, main bedroom and purple/green room!! it's like each of the rooms were themed around a funky little carpet with really nice contrasting colours, so it allowed everything to look super unique but still tied together:)

this is literally the apartment that I have been looking for for my Sims family! I don't have all the packs but it's basically perfect!

Woah what an amazing build! I'm obsessed with the color pallete omg

Cute floor plan and color scheme. I’ve been so excited lately to see that you haven’t been limiting your packs. It helps me to discover new items.

I’ve been following you for years and this is for sure my fav build by you so far, it’s amazing😭🙏

I love this apartment! The main room reminds me of a sitcom or something and I just love it! I’m definitely going to download it! I’m pretty sure I have the packs.

If you're running out of ideas for challenges, may I suggest a new, "but every room is a different color scheme" challenge? I'm just very interested in how it would turn out.

this is my favorite apartment you’ve ever done, wow it looks amazing !

this build is my favorite one so far, love your videos 😄

I love how you make homes so realistic and livable rather than something incredibly extravagant. I can definitely see myself using something like this in my play style

You can actually delete/replace apartment doors/windows and remove those “undeletable” objects using the T.O.O.L. mod! You can also remove those specific lot traits using the Unlocked Lot Traits & Challenges mod

Omg you brought back some memories I used to build what I called “book houses” for my Bratz dolls I would make mansions for them out of books and fully furnish them to😂

omg please do a tiny family apartment too and try to fit as many people in it as you can!! Maybe make like a Dutch box bed or use curtains and stuff

Fact: people who had littlest pet shops as kids, now play the sims

This was a beautiful and amazing build. I also used to use hardcover books as houses when I was younger. When you said you used them as apartments, it immediately took me back to my childhood. I totally forgot I used to do that.

the color schemes of this apartment feels kinda lively, I really love it, really shows characters

I love this apartment, like the colours match so good

the colors in this apartment are amazing!!! awesome build :))

I love your smile it makes me happy when ever I have a bad day you make my day keep being happy

i love seeing you build with as many packs as u like!

ive found my self blocking off portions of the apartments and filling them with platforms to create new areas and layouts, definitely recommend.

this is SO cute I feel like it's so hard to make bright and colorful builds in this game because the swatches are all so mismatched which makes this one extra fun. if only I had more than like 3 packs lol. oh well, now I have the challenge of trying to make something this cute in my own game!

Honestly love this build! Would love to see you make more apartment renovations :))

Many apartments in my city are “alcoves”. They have the layout of a one bedroom but get away with not having a window in the bedroom because the bedroom walls have a gap between the ceiling and the wall and the door is a barn door. I can’t remember if doors function on half walls but this could be a way to make different floor plans??

That burnt orange color is so pretty and gives great fall vibes!! 🍂

I have that exact same set of classic stories books! I loved reading those as a child and have actually been meaning to get back into reading them :)

It turned out so cute!! the color scheme got me

I am so happy you didn’t limit yourself with packs ! Please keep doing they from time to time !

I was terrified as a child of fire too. I had recurring nightmare that my house caught on fire and I had to rescue my dogs until I was like 12 and I was obsessed with a fire safety video and watched it constantly. I was also terrified to open closed doors in my home incase there was a fire behind them and if I saw a red light reflected in something (like the doorknob) I got absolutely terrified. thankfully i’ve mostly grown out of it but it still haunts me sometimes

I found you from Uture! So happy, been loving binging your content!

I used to play with Littlest Pet Shops too!! And Bratz Dolls (and Barbie’s briefly when I was a bit younger), so it makes perfect sense that we all ended up in the sims world 🥰🥰

okay this is the 5th video I've watched in a roll from you and now i'm downloading the sims 4 cause I'm inspired to play it again because of you XD

I used to do the same with my mom's library!! It was never a surprise that I loved building homes

Kayla I did the same thing as a kid. I had a bookshelf just for my littlest pet shops and I think I thought of it as a city and I'd build furniture and stuff out of paper for them

11:35 me and my sister did the exact same thing! we loved littlest pet shops and had a bunch of classic disney books in different colours

please don’t feel like you have to apologize for using a lot of content from packs in your builds! building with only base game probably gets pretty repetitive sometimes, and personally, i love seeing what you can do with a wider variety of items. ❤️❤️

I love your videos and how you bring up points that I wish sims 4 had like changing the windows and doors in apartments. I get what you mean with the non-editable doors being tough, I end up using a dark swatch that looks close enough and work what ever colors with it. Even if you want to do a cool color scheme with the dark brown it still works but it sucks that you might have to alter your design because of that.

loving the apartment and also the simsie lore lmao

11:35 omagod kayla !! this is super nostalgic because i had hard cover books on my house and i used to make houses for my dolls with them and YES after that of course i started to play the sims 3 and now 4

I totally agree with the thing about the wall swatches. Its SO hard and i feel like normally I settle for a boring swatch

Ty this is so helpful - I literally just bought city living so this is perfect!

Ah, I used that rug in my shell challenge (xsugarycarnival), you toured it on stream and both you and several people in chat said you'd never seen it before! It's cool to see you using it now 🥰

I love that weird corner rug, it has some wild ass swatches.

I decorated and redecorated and rearranged my Barbie Town House FAR more than I ever played storylines; so it's no wonder I love The Sims. I remember when I was buying Hot Date there was a guy in the aisle and he was saying that he wasn't sure about buying it because his friend pointed out that he was just playing with dolls but on the computer.

I feel the same about playing dolls and now playing The Sims. This apartment is super cool. I have a little obsession about The Sims so actually I have got almost every single pack, so this apartment is for me :D. I don't have all kits. Maybe this is the time to buy Industrial loft kit. Actually I'm really upset that sectional couch from DHD doesn't have any comfort points, and this from kit has 3 points, so I may buy it. Hava a good day :)

I love the way you use "Primary bedroom" versus "M*ster bedroom", love the modern vocab and movement away from using outdated terms!

LOVE this apartment!

I love the color scheme, it was nice to see you branch out, Simsie!! Really warm, cozy apartment!

I've just did your shell challenge! It was very hard but i really wanted to do it! I love your films!

I've never, ever, EVER seen that swatch on that round rug! OMG!

love this color palette, good to see you facing your fears
