Can confirm as a library employee that people come to the library specially to find a couch to nap on. The unhoused often use the public library as a safe spot to rest.
Comfortable, restful spots are essential in a library, whether they’re used for napping or just for curling up with a good book.
Wholesome
i thought you were talking about me, a university student with a home, who just finished a 7-9am shift and needs a nap before class 😂
So I have narcolepsy, and when I was in college, I wasn’t diagnosed yet. So I often took naps between classes in the library. It felt much safer to me than sleeping in my car.
Unfortunately, where I live, they used it as an excuse to shut down the existing public library. 😒
I wish the Sims team building the book kit had added a ladder and rail system! We already have ladders so the animation wouldn’t have been too difficult even if the ladder didn’t actually move along the rail.
That would have been awesome. Could have made that dream Beauty and the Beast library.
Simsie: “I’m bad at community lots”
*Also Simsie:*
A café in a library is totally realistic.
Exactly! And a coffee maker isn’t too unrealistic in a library. Think like a Barnes and noble with a Starbucks vibes lol
@@mizzwright3976 I think it was sarcasm. Sadly.
@@Lilykath. but it is realistic to have a café or cafeteria attached to a library. i don't think ragnhild was being sarcastic
@@Lilykath.
It’s not sarcasm. Not every library has a café, but it’s not unreasonable for a new (or newly renovated) city library to have one. The library café in the public library of my nearest city is a lovely place to have lunch, and because it’s in a library there’s no expectation that you should leave immediately after you’ve finished eating (and if it gets so crowded that they want to free up tables you probably want to find a quieter spot in the library proper after eating anyway).
@@ragnkja you said totally. Which made me believe it was sarcasm.
People definitely sleep in libraries. On my campus library, the third floor was really warm and people would nap there when they had a while between classes.
She forgot to put the couch she said she would put.
@@augusto7681 I believe the benches outside work for napping, essentially a super uncomfortable couch lol
i use lunch period to take a nap in the geography section of my school library lol
Petition for the biggest build possible (a build that is on the biggest lot possible, and 8 stories high, made for 8 sims) each week we could have an episode of furnishing and building because it would have a while!! ❤😂
she won’t even make an average sized house most of the time
Sign me up
YES
She once build a fake aparment build and did three furnishing videos, but she didn't end it
this sounds SO FUN i hope she sees and does this that would be SO cool!
Having a cafeteria in the library isn't that weird. At my university we have a restaurant style cafeteria on the lower level, we also have sleeping pods and meeting rooms. Also having an art space in the library isn't weird either, again my uni library has a dedicated makerspace in it, with stuff to make alot of thing even 3d printers and other mechanical stuff. With all that said love the library Kayla.
where are you located in the world? that sounds amazing 😳
@@recordtapesbackward I'm in Australia and they resently renoveted the library as well so that might be why we have those things. It's great. I moved here to study so I'm impressed with it.
Oh, it sounds so dreamy! I wish there was more libraries like that, unfortunately the ones in my city are just like 'borrow a book and go away' or are university libraries where you have to be student to have a card allowing you to enter
@@Noel.Chmielowiec Its the centural building on campus and i don't know if outsiders are allowed but its mosly just research journals and academic papers you can ask for. Most of the library is actually study spaces and a places to hold group meetings. I don't think it would be fun for some to come if they don't have their own book to read. I'm in humanitys so i don't do alot os studing in the library but some of my enginering and med student friends do.
@@jackonell7846 Oh, I see. It sounds cool, regardless, and very useful for students. When I studied at uni I was in the library once, because it was useless for my studies. But still, it wasn't as cool, and it was new building too. Glad to hear that there are places thinking about convenience for uni students!
It became like an evening ritual to watch Simsie's videos, and it's honestly so relaxing. Going through stressful time rn, but these videos have worked like magic against all anxiety.
@natalieieie I totally agree with you I do the same thing. I hope you get through your stress and wish you the best of luck!
@@maddyhaflich959 That's so sweet of you! Thank you
Same!
I love that it looks like the sunset valley one. I don't know if it was on purpose, but maybe you could recreate other rabbit holes from the Sims 3. For example, restaurants from the island paradise world in island living. I feel like it could be a good throw back.
In this boring terrible sunday, lilsimsie is saving me.❤
I'm glad the sims made university realistic. Hard to meet needs, tired all the time, need to nap in a library 😂
Great build. I love it. I would have liked a cafeteria. My university had a cafeteria in the basement and we all loved that. I noticed this when you were doing the Get To Work Policeman thing the other day - if you tell your sim to do something on one of those "busy" computers, whatever townie is using it will just get up and move on to something else. You don't need to reset (though you might need to wait just a minute for them to move.) Same should be true for your university ones and the research machines.
I can’t wait to see more university builds
The college I went to had a whole videography and robotics area in the basement that they sound proofed. They had all kinds of stuff so I feel like it could be an easy addition for later down the line for if you needed that with your sims.
A full-blown cafeteria in a library does seem unlikely but I have been in a library that had a cafe, similar to a commercial bookstores. So, hot and cold beverages and a limited menu mainly consisting of pastries and sandwiches. Just something to keep in mind for the next library build, if you continue to be excited about the Book Nook kit (and who wouldn't be?)
Thanks for building this, without limiting the packs you were using! I'm going to definitely enjoy it
as you were talking about a bunch of "features" in a library, it got me thinking just how much gameplay the sims team could work with to revamp libraries. would be pretty cool to see some sort of pack or update adding librarians (active career w/ get to work?), book returns/due dates, quiet lot trait, group project interactions, etc.
My college library has a small arts and crafts’ room, so it’s realistic (in my experience) to see an arts room dedicated to easels or any craft works needed for poster making or projects :)
Thank you for renovating this! I can never find a good replacement
I use the research machine very often. I always add one to all my libraries. It's my favorite way to increase logic skill (other than the telescope) plus you gain the research skill at the same time... super handy for university sims!
At my college, we had 3 levels to the library building. The bottom floor, the “basement” (the building had 2 entrances, one on the middle floor and one in the basement, there was a pretty big dip where it was built) contained a continence store that had 2 fast food places inside along with seating for food and studying. The second floor was when people met for group studies and such even having study rooms if you wanted a space for yourself. The front desk was there and there was a digitize media room for 3d printing and such. This is also where you regularly met with your advisor. The top floor was the actual library. It was considered the quiet floor and had a lot of seating and, obviously, thousands of books.
It is a newer building and even though the elevator was janky as hell, it was one of my favorite places on campus
I love this! I love making multifunctional lots I have one in delsol valley that I made where it has as much lot transition as possible, library, gym, bar, Cafe, kid hangout. Anything I could think of.
I think I want to add this to my game and add the robotics into a basement level so it wouldn't "disturb the peace" and still have a place to go to practice it.
We really need mixed lot types in The Sims. My public library has a café, a toddler and infant soft play area (it's really just a few foam shapes on a foam puzzle mat, with a few dolls and cars dotted around, but it's still there), and a movie area with a huge tv where the library has special film days where you can come in and watch movies on comfy sofas and armchairs. There's also a museum right next door, and oversize chess games outside where the pieces are like 3 feet tall.
Watched this built on Twitch! It turned out so good
So happy to see an unlimited-pack build! Thanks to my old computer and CC obsession, loading screens take millennia, so I end up putting everything I need for University gameplay in my dorms. (Ravasheen's catering tables are amazing for bypassing the "no ovens or grills" restriction.) Because of this, I don't think I've ever visited the library lot in Britechester. The lot and your build are great - after watching this, I've been inspired to build a museum in this spot.
So, I am exploring gameplay of things I haven't fully done in SIMS 4, and recently used this (the original) lot - Thank you for updating this world.
My college libraries only have 1 level. The main campus has 2 classrooms you can use to "be loud". I know cause that's where I studied for my bones and muscle tests. The other campuses just have a library and then you can go to the student lounge or just talk about a meet up location with your group. I didn't have any group projects during the times I was at the other locations so it didn't really bother me.
In my home town we have a very similar looking building with the library downstairs and an art gallery upstairs where you can take art workshops, so easels upstairs kinda makes sense to me 😂
Kayla! For your "going back and replaying older packs" series, I'd love to see you play with University! I don't have that pack and I don't think I've ever seen a video of a simmer playing it and actually sending a sim to University, I always just hear that it's hard lol. Would love to watch some current gameplay to see if it's worth buying.
For my uni, i have a lobby where we can go through the front and exit the back to different buildings since my library is right in the middle. We have a cafe on one side and a merch store on the other. Then it goes by level of quietness. Second floor is computers and couches then the other floors have tons of bookcases
My university has a stream running through it. Our tradition is that, on your birthday, your friends are supposed to grab you and toss you in the stream. It's a shallow, ice-cold stream.
The library is lovely, though the one thing that stands out to me is the front steps. I realize there's no functional ramps in sims but I'm used to libraries being accessible to all, usually with ramps or entryways level with the ground. Making even just the outside wheelchair accessible would add a nice touch of realism to a university building/community space even if it's not functional in terms of gameplay.
I love this one! When I see your builds I never know if I feel inspired to build myself or if I should just use your builds ❤
I literally cannot say how much i love your videos! tysm for the library!
i don't think a cafeteria in a library is weird!! i've been to 3 of my uni's MULTIPLE libraries and 2 of them have a cafe inside and one is right beside a university-owned takeaway, PLUS the public library in my hometown has a cafe! maybe i just got lucky tho? xD
We had couches... and also study rooms in our library and it was not uncommon to use them for napping if we were cramming during finals or writing papers and you needed a break. Our university library was a giant modern style building. It has a huge, long rectangular reflection pool out front with fountains. It was only 2.5 feet deep... but teah every year someone would dump a ton of soap in it and it was full of suds.There were 3vabove ground floors & 2 underground floors where the research stacks & study rooms were found.
This video definitely inspired me to take a crack at making my own university library! You are an inspiration for me to learn more in this game. It can be a challenge playing on the Xbox, but most days I’m up for it!
this build idk why is bringing me back to speed build sunday like when you’d announce it and it’s giving me life, it’s bringing me so much nostalgia and happiness
This looks great. It's a smaller version of how I want my high school build to look. Will be saving this to my build playlist for future reference. Thanks for the inspo!
I would love a reno of some of the topfloor dorm lots where you turn it into a different lot type. Maybe a café or community space? I never need more than one or two dorms, there is much unused lot space in Britechester. University housing is so restrictive I end up plopping all my students into residential lots anyway.
Was literally thinking the other day ‘I wish lilsimsie would redo this library’… thank you!!!
Tip for the friezes...don't add them until the end and certainly don't fix them until the end if you do them earlier and they glitch. Cause if they glitch once they're going to glitch again and you're just setting yourself up for frustration.
Some libraries hosts activities and clubs on certain days, painting being one of them. Love it.
I remember library in my elementary school, it had second room with really old TV, computers and magazines, browsing through the ones from the 80s was always fun, we had a lot of laugh looking at the hairstyles 😂
A cafeteria in a library does not sound weird - two of the (eight? nine?) libraries at the uni I went to had cafés. Another one was open 24 hours if you need to pull all-nighters, too.
Two things:
1.) I love this build and will definitely be using it.
You really improved a lot building community lots!!! I love this. I will go download this later when I am home :)
Yeee I love when you use all the packs! This library looks so nice! I kinda wish we got a decorative library ladder or stair step kinda thing with the book nook kit
Ohh, tackling this library again? Lovely!! I love Discover University
In the town where I graduated (in Denmark)
It was tradition for all the schools to go to the town square, hear the Mayor make a speech and dance around the fountain. In the end the one with the highest grades would be dipped in the fountain
For the super tall book shelves in the entrance, we can pretend that they are vintage books that the school used to use! Like textbooks from when the college first opened, or just outdated texts, or maybe even first editions of classic books.
It's really cute! I didn't know that abut the research machine. It always reminds me of a microfilm reader. I also didn't know the romantic garden fountain had gameplay. The items in that pack are beautiful. I like to use it for a big fancy garden for the Fyres household.
In my public library system, we have a "cafe" areas with tile or linoleum floors, vending machines, and tables. Once upon a time, my branch even had a coffee/hot chocolate vending machine.
That library absolutely NEED the Scientist hangout lot trait.
Have a food stand or two outside the building. That'll take care of your Sims hunger needs quite well.
Can confirm in my college days especially I could not be in the library without someone taking a nap in one of the chairs in the library
Back when I was on the UCF campus, folks would hop into that massive fountain during Homecoming. It was not strictly allowed at the time either. xD
Can confirm people still get in the reflecting pond not during homecoming too, so I guess this tradition lives ok lol
This made me want to do a University gameplay it’s been awhile!
i LOVE when you renovate community lots, because i immediately go and replace the ea versions with yours!! politely BEGGING for more
I watched this build live on twitch and was so excited to see how it turned out since I work at my university's library
Can confirm Spirit Splash IS dangerous, but that’s part of the fun 😂
this build made me want to play university! definitely going to download this build
Fun fact: in the national university library in Zagreb, Croatia, we literally have a cafeteria, no couches, but I'd appreciate naps more that cheap food tho
My university’s fountain is a seagull/dog bath in the day and a drunk student bath weekend nights. It’s also a big landmark for directions
Don't forget to use this for when April goes to university !!
thank you for this!!!! i work at a university library and the library that shipped with the university pack was sooo disappointing and pretty unrealistic to me. thank you for fixing it
This is one of my favorite builds Simsie has done-so realistic and beautiful!
It looks really nice. Great job. Looks so much better than the original. I'll have to download it.
It looks much better 😍❤️
AHHH SPIRIT SPLASH!!! No clue you went to UCF! It’s def dangerous, and I scraped my knees trying to get a duck last year 😅 still got one though!
I was def getting reflecting pond vibes from the fountain out front.
I love simsie builds! So clean and perfect! 🎉
the first floor in our libary has a loft where the students can sleep in. although there are couches in all 3 floors where people sleep all the time.
Love that this really feels like a communal space, not just a convenient set of computers for your Sims.
I say this with nothing but love, how do you NOT get burnt out?! GIRL, you just go go go!! Beautiful build! ❤
The multitasking feature can be really annoying and I wish there was maybe and object or something that prevented it (like snowy escape's no shoes inside object) or that the library had a "perk" where no sims will go up to the household sims to try and talk to them because realistically in a library, how often do you have random people trying to talk to you when you're working on a paper? Never.
Go Knights! ETA: Spirit Splash wasn’t too dangerous because its pretty shallow. I did it 2 years while I was there and it was mostly gross to think about all those people in the same water lmao (I never stayed longer than 30 mins in the water, it was mostly for the experience)
there are the game’s lot requirements; benches, bookshelves, then there are simsie’s lot requirements; woohoo spots and death opportunities
This lot is absolutely stunning! 😭
Kayla!! I WENT TO UCF AND FEEL LIKE THATS WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT W SPIRIT SPLASH! It was super dangerous. I went my freshmen year and stepped on broken glass then never went again.
BROKEN GLASS WHAT all I got was a scraped knee, but I guess still dangerous
Omg!!! Just when Kayla was saying how glitchy the friezes were the video froze and then went out lol😂
im so excited for this mini university era!!!
I hope you all are having a wonderful day
Ps happy birthday if it’s your birthday 🥳 🎉❤😊
Ooohh this makes me want to re-build that library too!
my school's fountain tradition was your friends throwing you into the fountain on your birthday. i did it once in freshman year and never again, it was kinda gross lol
Has Kayla rebuilt the get to work lots yet? I can’t remember but I definitely think the hospital, police precinct and the science lab need an upgrade
I know I've seen her rebuild the hospital, but I'm not sure about the others.
at small schools it's super common to have classrooms and other spaces inside the library!
This is what I've been waiting for.. LIBRARIES
My university had a tradition of jumping in the artificial lake on campus in November, so the fountain seems tame.
My university had a cafe at the front of the library. Coffee and snacks galore! It’s a great idea for the sims.
I love it! Makes me want to play University again too
The primary art classroom at my college doubled as the main hallway for that floor, so having some easels in the library doesn't surprise me one bit. 😅
when i was in high school, during spirit week they would hold an event called the rootbeer mile and it was basically a race around the bus loop where you would have a drink per lap run added ontop of the laps already run so 2 drinks for 2 laps 3 drinks for 3 laps etc. people would power puke after LOL
I was just thinking I needed a new uni library! ❤
My university has a “makers space” with art supplies and sewing machines and such. So an art rooms makes sense to me
At my university, we also have a fountain in front of our library, and whenever one of our sports teams wins a championship or whatever, it’s a tradition for students to “storm” the fountain and jump in.
Been waiting on this build for my saves!
i re did the base game library and i added a piano painting everything was added and i love it
20:50 I've noticed sims WATCH debates. I like doing it for sure!!
I think it's funny how Sims just come and talk to you in game, while your Sims working. It's not like people do that in real life. Usually people leave you alone at the library and such.
The fountain thing is funny to me bc the college I want to go to has a canal bc it’s downtown and they do races down the canal in canoes and kayaks
This gives me city hall from the sims 3 vibes love it
My university library had peicate media viewing rooms (TVs! Fun!)
