@Veevs It's an emoji, two hands coming together to make a heart. You probably need to update your phone if you can't see it- or maybe you're on pc idk.
I actually enjoy the realism of having multiple shades of bricks. It's actually extremely difficult to match bricks - especially on older houses that have gone through renovations.
That's always been my pet peeve with sims builders. They tend to want everything to match exactly when it's incredibly unrealistic for everything to match exactly
@@smoxthybweh A real house will, for example, have one room where the floorboards are just that tiny bit wider and lighter than the other parquet floors in the house, because they couldn't find the exact same boards when that room was remodelled that they used for the rest.
@@smoxthybweh A lot of it is because you're seeing a top-down view of everything at once. If you saw like first-person through your Sims eyes it'd be different. When I build on Sims I don't mind things being different but I hate when you have sets of furniture that are *supposed* to be the same but have no similar swatches. I really wish they had a base color scheme and that was used for *everything* then have a few extras for different things. Like the biggest thing everyone knows is the tone of woods. You'll have one thing that's a nice brown then another thing that's an entirely different brown but supposed to be similar.
This kit is actually gonna make the eco lifestyle standing planters so much more useful imo since there’s not a ton of room for the regular 2x2 planters
I haven't updated due to the weird Cas bug but I was so excited about the greenhouses, I built a sunroom/greenhouse extension on my sim's house and used the vertical planters for exactly that reason!
Backstory for the house: Grandparents retirement home, they down sized when the kids moved out. Their granddaughter comes to stay on the weekends and school holidays as she lives in San Myshuno in a flat with her single mum who works weekends. The grandad loves to garden, while his wife makes flower arrangements to sell in town and at the church. They spend all their time in the garden and only use the house to eat and sleep. Because of this they recently invested in the new greenhouse and can’t wait to put it to use.
@@prisonisinourminds8070 why would we? Do you know how many people get paid by companies to say things? Have you ever seen a commercial before with an actor on it? Lol this is kinda how the world works.
I love this build. I feel you on the space issue. The only way I've had success with a smaller greenhouse is by deleting the floor so you can plant directly on the ground. Otherwise, it ends up being all clutter (I have no self-control) or the planters take up all the space because sims need a whole square mile to move around.
Can I just say, you are so good at building!!! You some how manage to make every single video completely new and interesting! Your videos always make me smile. Also your cat is adorable! 😅
The window with the chickenwire instead of glass is perfect for chickencoops. I put the henhouse from Cottage Living in it, so the chickens can run freely and safe from foxes and cats. Makes the game so realistic.
Okay, here's a question: Do the new greenhouse windows slot onto rounded corner walls? ETA: I just tested, and they do NOT fit on rounded walls, only on flat walls... bummer!
As gardening is my top favourite, (with few exceptions all my families have their green house since we can't grow plant on the outside anymore) I really was over then moon when I heard about this kit but it turned out with a really big disappointment. We are plenty of windows like this, this pack is just clutter at the end.
I WISH WISH WISH there was a pantry under the stairs! Otherwise this build is perfect. Literally goals for when I’m old and finally learn to care for plants
I honestly live to see a rogue cat tail or pair of ears every once in a while so no worries lol Also, I put greenhouses in half my builds already so I'm so stoked for this kit. It looks gorgeous!
i want stuff packs back, they did really good with some of them like the paranormal or knitting ones. I def don't want any more bust the dust situations lol
My trick to making gardens look less busy is to use green bushes, and low lying greenery and fill in the gaps with the smaller wildflower looking plants, sticking to like 4 colours maximum 🙂
The bends in the path in the garden doesn't really make sense unless you fill them with something to prevent people from just cutting across, such as flowerbeds.
Most dedicated gardeners would have a greenhouse for growing and a potting shed for the planting/potting table, compost, supplies and pots, etc. It saves precious space in the greenhouse. xx
Honestly, I’m way more excited about the basement kit and cannot wait to get home to my sims so I can build a house with a dirty little basement apartment. The family is going to have like a loner gamer kid that moves down there for privacy rather that share a room with their perkier twin. 😂 And I think when they grow up, the more social one will inherit the house and do the whole spouse/kids thing while they have their basement dwelling sibling forever because they really love each other despite being very different. ❤️
Have you ever tried using platforms to do stairs? It's honestly pretty fun- you can make some cool layouts with them. I had a staircase with 3 platforms that went along the edge of the wall- I used different wall heights slowly getting shorter to act like a railing and put columns between them to almost make windows, and it made for a really cool open view kitchen concept. The stairs led to some bedrooms upstairs, and I imagined kids sneaking down the stairs to watch mom and dad watch movies or sitting on the stairs watching mom make cookies
Everyone might already know this but eco lifestyle actually comes with a gardening table decor thing and it works sooooo well in the greenhouses! It’s under surfaces
Very realistic looking country cottage. You see these really small homes all over the UK and yes they really are that small in real life. Perfect job, half tempted to grab the new greenhouse pack myself now.
I love your builds. So pretty! I have friends that only use their greenhouse to start plants and then they transfer them outside, so your greenhouse is perfect.
I love this cottage and I am so excited to use actual greenhouses now! The fact that this build is so tiny and cramped makes it feel like a historical home lol. 💗
This is such a good buyild and it shows off the greenhous kit rly well. I feel like the kids flower swing would work rly well in the garden under the big oak
Really looking forward to this kit. I’ve just been building my own greenhouses with full walls of windows and skylight roofs rounded off. It’ll be nice to get actual greenhouse specific stuff.
I think the kits have a lot of potential, but I would really like to see the team work more on revamps. I think it would be really cool if fans actually work in game as cooling items that help keep your Sims cool in the summer. We have the in-game thermostat but it really sucks. I think it would also help if they revamped seasons as well. Like having plants go into dormant States instead of actually disappearing when a new season arrives. I would also like to see get to work get a revamp. I think working with modders to enable Sims to have realistic births would add a very emotional element to the game. I know this is a lot but I really feel and care for the game. I think the Sims has a lot of potential to be so much better than it already is.
I normally never buy kits because I feel like they don’t give us enough. But when I saw the greenhouse kit I just knew that I wanted it. I always wanted some kind of greenhouse to grow plants in and training up the gardening skills.
I think it should’ve been for a older person with no kids who retired, that way you could make it a bathroom for guests, but I love the greenery and greenhouse.
I’m surprised yet also not at the same time because ✨ea✨ buuut it sucks there isn’t a staircase that has another staircase under it going down- like in almost every real house 😂
You could potentially extend that hallway taking away 2 squares of the bedroom and make a small corridor with a door to the bedroom on one side and a door to the bathroom on the other.
Over all it's nicely made. The bedrooms I would have switched around with child's room being the smaller one. Most people would say it's the overwhelmingly logical thing to do. I do love the greenhouse kit.
Honestly the sims always has wonderful timing for me. Like literally last week I was building a house and I felt it need something in the back yard and I REALLY wanted to make a greenhouse but I was having such a horrible time 😭
My greenhouse is long and narrow and includes the flower arranging table lots or decor lots of small planters boxes and the microscope. It's great as summer produce can be grown in winter. Even a two day long blizzard.
I think it would be a really cool idea to build a Stranger things inspired house with a basement where the kids always hang out and play board games, watch TV and have sleeping bags for slumber parties! And a treehouse in the backyard! X
I'm crying this build reminded me so much of my family's summerhouse 🥹🥹🥹 it has a lot of garden space and like a tiny house with tiny bedrooms and a tiny kitchen so it really reminded me of it. But mine has a basement so you really should've went for it 🤪
One of the city living bricks, not the one you used or the brown one, but the other one matched the Get Together brick perfectly. Same color just not same pattern
The EA launcher is broken on my Steam Deck so until it's fixed/I find a workaround I live my greenhouse dreams vicariously through your builds. This is great!
whenever there's no dresser in a room, i like to imagine that there's storage space under the bed. either drawers or storage bins, depending on the kind of bed. this is the kind of house that would have storage bins under the bed lol
I would love to see you build a nice, larger scale house with a big conservatory/sunroom using this greenhouse kit!
yes 🫶🏼
That sounds amazing!! 😊💖

@@ramsey6394 gotta pay the coders who fix bugs something
Yesss I did that on a build when eco lifestyle came out, looking forward to building more greenhouses!
I love when Snap randomly shows up. Sometimes it’s a pair of ears appearing, sometimes a raccoon tail 😂
as a cat lover, it truly makes my day :D

Snap is SOO cute
I love how Kayak always looks surprised, as if Snap wasn't on 9 out of 10 videos.

Y’all so easy to manipulate. She is payed by EA

Have you ever seen the experimental large greenhouses with a house inside? That's what I want to see here.
Small cottages in the UK often have weird and wonderful layouts, as well as tiny spaces for things like kitchens, so this is believable!

I love so much when Snap just appears. I melt every time, she's so sweet!
This house gives me vibes of a grandma who is raising their grandkid and it’s so cute❤
As someone who lives in the UK I love that this build is more like what I'm used to seeing from houses😊
Yeah, the size is definitely more realistic for someone who lives in Europe. Anything more than 2 bedrooms is big.
i really appreciate when you point out all the tricks you do when building it is so helpful! thank you for being so considerate

The blue suburban to plant house arc we’re seeing is everything

RIP (Rest In Plants)

@@juliashirokova8374 is three not considered a few?
I’m gen x and the basement kit really made me happy 😆 so that’s my favorite, but I also like the greenhouse kit.😊
if i had this pack, i would SO build the green house WITH the house - as like an outdoor room, but still inside. great for rainy days etc.
my life is horrible right now but your videos always cheer me up, thank you so much kayla ❤
feeling similarly, i hope things get better for you or you at least find some peace💟
I love this build, i love the tiny bedrooms for some reason I can imagine a grandma and her grandchild living here and growing their own vegetables 💚
They released a greeeeeenhouse kit on 420

i want stuff packs back, they did really good with some of them like the paranormal or knitting ones. I def don't want any more bust the dust situations lol
I think gameplay is left best to stuff packs. I need more stuff on par with paranormal, laundry day or tiny living. Not bust the dust
I am doing the occult baby challenge and I would love fantasy creatures like fairies or elves. Could you imagine a fantasy theme/tolkien-esque pack?
@@user_name_Len I always wish for that
@@user_name_Len I want that so badly!
Conspiracy theory: Snap is really the one building
gardening is so op in the sims it’s hilarious
This seems like the house style that would have an external entrance to the basement
My trick to making gardens look less busy is to use green bushes, and low lying greenery and fill in the gaps with the smaller wildflower looking plants, sticking to like 4 colours maximum 🙂
Greenhouses are such a great idea! I just love the Aesthetic!😍😍
exactly what sims 4 needs…. MORE aesthetic !! 😂
Snappy is adorable.
Concept: an entire greenhouse home for a plant sim
I hate it when people say we are building fake greenhouses. When I make a greenhouse it works--so they are not fakes.
And the kit doesnt include a new way of build greenhouse. Its the same just different windows.
The bends in the path in the garden doesn't really make sense unless you fill them with something to prevent people from just cutting across, such as flowerbeds.
Most dedicated gardeners would have a greenhouse for growing and a potting shed for the planting/potting table, compost, supplies and pots, etc. It saves precious space in the greenhouse. xx

I feel like making a public greenhouse in a park would be so cutee!
As someone from the UK, I relate to the size of the house and the rooms
snap showing up randomly makes me so happy :)
So envious of your landscaping skills! So good!
You could potentially extend that hallway taking away 2 squares of the bedroom and make a small corridor with a door to the bedroom on one side and a door to the bathroom on the other.

You could also use the new windows and roof to add conservatories or sunrooms to builds
Love the landscape so much!
