@@Qtopian I know, but I'd like to encourage her to. Honestly, I can't imagine going back to building without it. It could really elevate her builds. That and stopping to avoid and apologize for using packs. It has been years since the game came out, we need the variety they bring
@@limiv5272she avoids mods & a bunch of packs to help people that can’t afford all the packs or get mods. A LOT of youtubers use mods & packs, not many think abt people who can’t use those things.
The trees should be different sizes as people choose the right size for their home, and there needs to be something that looks like the machine that puts the tree in a netting for transport. I like the build though, looks great.
Under the mistletoe Watching the fire glow And telling me "I love you" Just being in your arms Takes me back to that little farm, Where every wish comes trueeee🎄 - Christmas Tree Farm (Kayla's Version)
for someone from florida, she did a pretty good job, but she did miss the iconic metal barrel fire fueled by branches that get cut off when someone buys a tree
In my heart is a Christmas tree farm Where the people would come To dance under sparkles and lights Bundled up in there mittens and coats And the cider would flow And I just want to be there tonight Under the mistletoe
I actually think that the children’s room in here is the best part of the build. It feels like such a great community space to bring the family. Let the little kids play in the playground while the adults go and have some hot cocoa and have conversations on the other side.I think maybe having different sizes of trees would be good. But honestly, the biggest thing that I would do differently is I would’ve made this a retail lot. Because then it would be like yes they can buy the trees, but you could’ve also set up stuff to be like ornaments and cards or whatever. So it really is just a real Christmas store.
Awesome job Kayla! But if you do ever do this again, I would suggest making it a bit more messy/unorganized :D Real life tree farms are literally like forests filled with Christmas trees, so naturally the sizes, shapes and placements of the trees are kinda all over the place. Obviously I know that's a bit hard to do in the Sims, but yeah! Love this and cannot wait to see more Christmas/winter inspired builds! Merry Christmas everyone haha
I think your issue with the trees was that they were all the same size. When you go to a farm you see a few different species and TONS of different sizes. Other than that you nailed them trying to sell you anything and everything else they can offer lol!
We have a lot of tree farms in our area. They do look like rows upon rows of identical trees sometimes. (Some have trees of different sizes and shapes, but many are "groomed" to all be the same shape and size. I guess they sell better that way.)
Yep my uncle owns one in Wisconsin & it's a very cookie cutter looking field with nothing cheery, festive or fun. You go pay for saw rental, try not to cut off your finger, trudge through ankle deep mud (the 1st snow usually comes a day or so before Christmas so it's all brown & smells like bogwater), drag the tree to the truck, get a net, pay & leave while fighting over who thought this was a good idea. There's absolutely no BS TV tropes. If there were the prices would double & everyone's already hoping mad about inflation. We aren't going to decorate for a single month of the year with $2000 with of toxic tinsel.
@@HannahJo32uhm that’s your opinion it’s not fun and Cherry. I go to Christmas tree farms every year in Illinois. But a lot of the trees are very small and still growing. But I enjoy getting a tree with my family and hanging out with them. It’s a family tradition and it’s not that bad half of the time. Plus the prices haven’t changed too much each either. Even with inflation from the last two years. It’s a fun time to be with family.
Suggestion to Simsie: it would be nice to have 5 min of a gameplay after each of your builds, just to see the functionality and how it looks in the game mode. Great job as always!
Aside from the barn being red instead of brown (and several acres bigger, but it’s the sims lol), this is exactly like the Christmas tree farm we go to every year! The barn is full of decorations and ornaments for sale in addition to hot chocolate, and they have a smaller shed full of wreaths. We have a tradition of picking out a new ornament every year. I can’t wait to go back this year, Simsie has made me miss it so much! 🥺🥰
my childhood home is a brand new house that was built in the middle of an artificial pine tree forest, with all these giant pine trees all planted in neat rows all around us. it was a failed lumber farm when my family picked up the property. when i was little, i was always told that my house used to be a christmas tree farm (even though they're the wrong kind of tree for that purpose, and were never farmed as christmas trees) so i'm very excited for this video!
This is so cute but so different than the tree farms near me 😅 Most are just fields of trees and a rack of saws near a fire pit (so the one or two workers can stay warm). There might be a barn somewhere within view but it’s not open to the public
This is so cute and pretty accurate for not going to one! I love all the cozy decorations and the big tree in the middle of the barn is chef's kiss! I have a bunch of tree farms around where I live and they plant the trees in a round for lack of a better word. So I think having some of the rows different sizes to note that they were planted in an earlier/later year would add some variety and realism. Also I think this would have worked potentially as a retail lot or community marketplace too and have some like toys to sell or craftables to be presents.
It depends on what the owner wants for the farm but usually i've seen they have uncut trees in rows and pre cut already netted trees for those who don't want to cut their own down. The trees are differnt lengths and widths as to have options so the cosumer can find one that fits their needs or/and space where the tree will be.
the only thing that bothers me is that the trees are all the same size mostly because ive been to actual christmas tree farms and there is always smaller trees
Beautiful build! I would place it in my save and change it depeding on the season, like make a pumpkin patch for fall or flower garden for spring! If I want to hide an item that's required for a specific lot, I just build a basement with no access to it, stick it in there and forget haha
I found this and put it in my game as a restaurant because I just loved the Christmas theme of it. If you put in the snowy escape world on that one lot up by the mountain where it’s always snowy then it looks so good!
I know! Just because she has never been to a tree farm doesn't mean she shouldn't know what size trees should be to fit in a person's house. Like, how could she look at it and not realize that? She's been inside living rooms, where people put the trees that they cut down. But I guess it's in line with many of her other builds and how she always says she can't tell how big a particular space is. THE GRID! and she builds in the Sims almost every day. How does she not understand scale? I honestly don't understand why she struggles so much with that.
@@taylor6266right?! Kayla- “We are merely playing pretend” This person- “how dare your fun build idea not be a perfect 1:1 ratio of peoples homes” jfc it’s a cute build for the sims.
I wish irl Christmas tree farms were this cute! Usually they're just empty plots with a bunch of trees, a machine that puts a net around the tree, and a stall to purchase them lol
I love your christmas tree farm, but I just want to tell you how they usually are in my experience in New York. Ive gone to a variety of farms in many regions in the state. There is usually some sort of barn/shop area, but it tends to be in the front instead of the back. They will sell things from christmas tree ornaments, to wreaths, to baked goods, to hot drinks. Most things are Christmas/winter themed, but that isn't always the case. Depending on the area, the trees may be on a hill or in a mountain, but they are always behind the barn/shop. Sometimes if people have reserved trees, the trees will be decorated. This looks super good, but I just wanted to give my Northeastern experience/advice to a Floridian who has probably not experienced this! Sending lots of love and happy holidays!!!
where i am in upstate NY the christmas tree farms dont even have barns lol. just a plot of land w trees, a firepit for the workers, and a bunch of chainsaws and the netting thing
Being able to watch you change your mind is nice, especially for anyone else who likes building in the Sims and other games. It's informative to see your process
It would be so cool if kayla could do a build for like a summer christmas based on her experience and the other half of the globe (its summer in the south hemisphere) like a house decorated for crhistmas but not wintery 🥲
I’m from Maine so we have Xmas tree farms. Some are actual farms where you can cut your own while others are areas set up outside of restaurants or stores with precut trees set up. They Always have Christmas lights and cute decorations!
Aww bless your flordian heart. Christmas tree farms have different sized trees and different types of evergreen trees. So you don't have to use the same type of tree or the same size tree. Honestly, comparing them to the barn, the size represented in the video would be to big for most homes. Its still looks very nice.
There's a really cute xmas tree farm in Eustis/central Florida with make your own s'mores, cut your own tree, hot coco, animals, & a shop for ornaments and wreaths. It's fun. Santa's Christmas Tree Forest. I think you have to make reservations bc it's gotten so popular. Loving your tree farm. So festive!
I love Christmas tree farms they are my favorite thing! They usually sell popcorn or cider doughnuts too! I never gets too cold inside because there is so much going on! Love this build!
My Aunt and Uncle had a small Christmas tree farm. My Aunt would craft wreaths and garlands from dried flowers and tree cones, to sell during tree season. She would also offer local jams and jellies and such, quilts, and other crafts available for sale. Those long tables on the sides would be perfect for that sort of thing. This would likely work as a retail lot. One could sell Christmas decor, pre-decorated trees, Cottage Living jams, and Eco Lifestyle candles & seltzers. Even bottles of wine. A regular holiday bazaar.
Just need a change table for the kidlets! We literally drag them out in the snow to play all day In the snow. Winter it’s a sled, summer it’s a red wagon lol 😂 Merry Christmas from Vancouver Island Canada!! 😊
I'm from michigan so we have tree farms all over (grandma even owns one no longer in business) and watching the one you make is so magical I love it. I'd go there in a heartbeat 💖
you and satchonsims both love snow and x-mas! It is nice to enjoy people who like it. From thanksgiving to christmas is very bad for me so it is nice to watch someone who likes it.
I live in a place with cold snowy winters - and while it might seem counterintuitive a lot of the farms that do holiday light strolls or meet Santa events actually do have wide open windows and barn doors in most of the indoor space with minimal heating - and maybe a small room or booth for Santa with heating partially BECAUSE they don’t have a place for you to hang your coat -and most of the line or activities are outside so everyone is bundled up, and partially because their big season is not in the winter, so they aren’t built for it.
guess you were trying to keep it base game with the lot type, but retail would have been the 1st thought. or cafe for a hot cocoa bar. but as a park, good idea too, could of had a place to "visit santa" in the kids area or in the main space. Also there's nowhere to buy the trees? like a fake counter or the cafe machine and smores
this is so adorable i WISH christmas tree farms were like this 😭😭 theyre just fields of various species of pines in different sizes and by the parking lot theres a big fire and a bunch of chainsaws so the workers dont freeze lol also the barn would be fine you just need some space heaters or those outdoor heaters, we use them all the time in winter
The last time I visited a Christmas Tree Farm . They offered a sleigh ride, to the area to help chop down the tree. Served up coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Pay for the tree and head home. But searching for the right tree is what was so fun. Thus farm you built is very sweet and generous 🙂 chocolate
Growing up here in New Zealand, we had natural trees because our lifestyle block had a shelterbelt of pine trees. However, we had to switch to artificial trees when the real ones’ branches got too big.
This is SO cute!! What a great idea!!! It would have been such a cute idea to put some of the cards from Seasons in the kid’s room as if the kids are making cards for their grownups for the gift exchange. I’ll have to start joining your twitch streams if I wanna make suggestions tho 😅
This reminds me of that old Mickey mouse Christmas short where he worked at a Christmas tree place and peg leg Pete was the owner - I dunno, just a memory from my childhood
My Sims winter nights are taken up by static,stress, and holiday shopping traffic….but they close their eyes and they’re somewhere else, just like… MAGIIICCCC
In my experience Christmas tree farms are much less uniform and more spread out. They’re basically fields with a mix of all different sizes all over with irregular spacing. I’d guess this is because you go and pick your tree so some get picked each year and others are left to grow and they plant saplings wherever gaps open up. Sometimes they have an area with specifically the large ones. They reserve some trees to grow really big for community spaces etc that want huge 5m trees. Most trees are sold when they’re between 1 and 2 meters, for in peoples’ houses. Edit: I don’t mean this to come off critical. This build is super cute and very in the Christmas spirit. I only mean this to be informative for our Floridian friends out there 🤍
I like it. I wonder if you can make it a retail lot and be able to sell the trees? Hmm. I love Christmas and Christmas trees but I don't like the taking it down and putting away everything. lol.
I would have put some stumps down in some of the tree spots, like people have already picked a few trees to take home. I love the Christmas builds so much.
As someone who lives in the beautiful PNW, most of the "tree farms" that arent like gimmicky for children are just parking lots lol, popping up like firework tents at the start of july.. and the gimmicky tree farm I went too was just a train ride to a bunch of already cut down trees (lol) so I feel like the movies and references online/what your building is wayy cooler then any real life one I have personally ever been too haha
If you live in the beautiful PNW, you should go to a real tree farm. We have lots of them. They just require a bit of a drive, and then walking around hunting for the "perfect" tree, before cutting it down yourself. It's not hard, and a fun change of pace. We are incredibly lucky to live where we do. Take advantage of it! We did this when our son was young. When I was little, my Dad always went into the forest, to get one cheap off of NFS land because we couldn't afford one from a tree lot. Now THAT was a tree farm! 🤣
the only thing missing is the wooden slat shelves of all the already cut trees laying against with a couple of tables that have chainsaws, baskets of discarded branches, and TONS of twine to tie onto cars
For items I don't need (ie building a park where we need a playground) I build a basement and dump stuff down there so it fits the lot requirement but no one can use it
I live where it snows and I've never been to a tree farm, because we buy fake ones. This looks pretty impressive to me, but I agree with the idea that trees should be multiple sizes. Also, I loved the idea of the skating rink, but I'm probably also stuck on Christmas movies, lol.
I would suggest making the trees different sizes as well as having smaller saplings
I think it’s hard to do that without tool mod. You might only be able to do two sizes
Yes, with TOOL, and also move a few slightly out of alignment so it's not too perfect
@@limiv5272 yea but kayla doesn’t use toolmod she doesn’t have it downloaded
@@Qtopian I know, but I'd like to encourage her to. Honestly, I can't imagine going back to building without it. It could really elevate her builds. That and stopping to avoid and apologize for using packs. It has been years since the game came out, we need the variety they bring

exactly!
Maybe the cupcake machine; I know it's not perfect, but with some snow on it, it might be passable ^^
The recycler from Eco Lifestyle
I think some kind of wagon or steel trailer should be there too so it looks like trees are being moved to the customers' cars

- Christmas Tree Farm (Kayla's Version)
Loll
That's what I was thinking!
i was expecting simsie to mention it at some point! we all know her knowledge of christmas tree farms comes from taylor!
The way Kayla was concerned for the kids being ‘safe’ and ‘warm’ then putting a giant fire hazard in the room where they will obviously navigate to 😂😅
for someone from florida, she did a pretty good job, but she did miss the iconic metal barrel fire fueled by branches that get cut off when someone buys a tree
The vendors usually make them into wreaths. Or let us pick and choose what trimmings we want for free. Pretty cool!

Where the people would come
To dance under sparkles and lights
Bundled up in there mittens and coats
And the cider would flow
And I just want to be there tonight

Am I the only one that liked the restaurant idea? It still came out beautiful 😻
Was so sad when she changed her mind🥲
as someone who works at a christmas tree farm, this is so much nicer lolll
i would say to add more that one type of tree tho, + different sizes
Awesome job Kayla!

With tool you can scale the trees so they arent all exactly the same size, just a tip for anyone wanting to build something like this❤
What tool?
@@antonizajkowski9698 The TOOL mod by TwistedMexi❤️ it’s game revolutionary if you’re a builder

IN MY HEART IS A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM
I live in a place with cold snowy winters - and while it might seem counterintuitive a lot of the farms that do holiday light strolls or meet Santa events actually do have wide open windows and barn doors in most of the indoor space with minimal heating - and maybe a small room or booth for Santa with heating partially BECAUSE they don’t have a place for you to hang your coat -and most of the line or activities are outside so everyone is bundled up, and partially because their big season is not in the winter, so they aren’t built for it.
The way Kayla didn't really like the kid's room when that was my favourite part about the build 😭💀🎅🏼
Alexa, play Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift (Kayla's Version)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!
For me (who doesn´t celbrate thanksgiving) Christmas seasons starts in november 1st. And I mean that very literaly like tree is up on the 2nd
guess you were trying to keep it base game with the lot type, but retail would have been the 1st thought. or cafe for a hot cocoa bar. but as a park, good idea too, could of had a place to "visit santa" in the kids area or in the main space. Also there's nowhere to buy the trees? like a fake counter or the cafe machine
and smores
Love it so Christmassy 🎄
I trusted the process and was not disappointed 😌 beautiful build once again!
This could easily be a library! ♡
I work at a Christmas tree farm and you posted this the day of my first sales day this season

Growing up here in New Zealand, we had natural trees because our lifestyle block had a shelterbelt of pine trees. However, we had to switch to artificial trees when the real ones’ branches got too big.
This is SO cute!! What a great idea!!! It would have been such a cute idea to put some of the cards from Seasons in the kid’s room as if the kids are making cards for their grownups for the gift exchange. I’ll have to start joining your twitch streams if I wanna make suggestions tho 😅
It looks so Christmas-movie-y!! Such a cozy destination, it’d be such a cute date spot for the Bell-gals imo
This rekindles my joy. Thank you. This is a delight
I was so relieved when you fixed the fence lol this build Is beautiful.
I'm gonna make something similar but with an ice skating rink! So pretty Kayla!
Girl I feel the Florida thing ahah but I love Christmas this is amazing!!
This reminds me of that old Mickey mouse Christmas short where he worked at a Christmas tree place and peg leg Pete was the owner - I dunno, just a memory from my childhood
My Sims winter nights are taken up by static,stress, and holiday shopping traffic….but they close their eyes and they’re somewhere else, just like… MAGIIICCCC
you shouldve used the gingerbread house swatch of the play tent 😫
In my experience Christmas tree farms are much less uniform and more spread out.
They’re basically fields with a mix of all different sizes all over with irregular spacing. I’d guess this is because you go and pick your tree so some get picked each year and others are left to grow and they plant saplings wherever gaps open up. Sometimes they have an area with specifically the large ones.
They reserve some trees to grow really big for community spaces etc that want huge 5m trees. Most trees are sold when they’re between 1 and 2 meters, for in peoples’ houses.
Edit: I don’t mean this to come off critical. This build is super cute and very in the Christmas spirit. I only mean this to be informative for our Floridian friends out there 🤍
This was such a cute build! Thanks for sharing Kayla 🎄🎁☃️❄️
I like it. I wonder if you can make it a retail lot and be able to sell the trees? Hmm. I love Christmas and Christmas trees but I don't like the taking it down and putting away everything. lol.
This is my time of year, I love Christmas
I would have put some stumps down in some of the tree spots, like people have already picked a few trees to take home. I love the Christmas builds so much.
As someone who lives in the beautiful PNW, most of the "tree farms" that arent like gimmicky for children are just parking lots lol, popping up like firework tents at the start of july.. and the gimmicky tree farm I went too was just a train ride to a bunch of already cut down trees (lol) so I feel like the movies and references online/what your building is wayy cooler then any real life one I have personally ever been too haha
We went to one in WA when I was young, but we had to drive pretty rural to get to it. I don't miss the cutting down part too much! 😂
If you live in the beautiful PNW, you should go to a real tree farm. We have lots of them. They just require a bit of a drive, and then walking around hunting for the "perfect" tree, before cutting it down yourself. It's not hard, and a fun change of pace. We are incredibly lucky to live where we do. Take advantage of it! We did this when our son was young. When I was little, my Dad always went into the forest, to get one cheap off of NFS land because we couldn't afford one from a tree lot. Now THAT was a tree farm! 🤣
@acebildz1253 my uncle always used to do that! We got a really scrawny tall tree from him one year that way! 😂
Dont feel bad Kayla. Im from Iowa and have never seen a tree farm either 😂
The Skating rink would be a good addition to the park, it would add more things for sims to do considering the trees are just decorative in the lot.
it would’ve been so cute if kayla could’ve somehow incorporated a decorated truck with a tree on the back for deliveries
Can you put a cash register in the barn so sims can actually buy a tree?
In my heart is a Christmas tree farm. OK Kayla, I know this is Taylor inspired, lol. I love this! It's so cute
should make it a retail lot and then you can sell the trees!!
the only thing missing is the wooden slat shelves of all the already cut trees laying against with a couple of tables that have chainsaws, baskets of discarded branches, and TONS of twine to tie onto cars
Merry Christmas little Simsie:))🙏 you can take some snow from Minnesota whenever it comes please (we get way too much 😔😔)
For items I don't need (ie building a park where we need a playground) I build a basement and dump stuff down there so it fits the lot requirement but no one can use it
Most Christmas shops is just trees and saws and workers😭😭 I want the tree shops in movies I be cold
Most christmas tree farms are several acres big at least where I'm from, so with ur limited space I think it looks beautiful.
Kayla builds + Holiday theme = COUNT ME IN!
Thinking that kids dont play outside in the snow in winter, really shows that Kayla is from Florida lol
Why does this give me hallmark Christmas movie vibes. Love the build anyways.
I can't wait for the new pack and all the builds Kayla's gonna give ussss omggg
all this need for me was the jukebox or the winter wall stereo. Otherwise always great builds!!!
I live where it snows and I've never been to a tree farm, because we buy fake ones. This looks pretty impressive to me, but I agree with the idea that trees should be multiple sizes. Also, I loved the idea of the skating rink, but I'm probably also stuck on Christmas movies, lol.
