Simsie: talking about how strange it is that university has fancy windows and ikea type furniture
Me: so basically Europe in a nutshell, old buildings and ikea furniture everywhere
So true 😂
Yes
Literally 😂😂😂
Lmao my house
lol I thought the same thing. the house I live in has paintings on the ceiling in the entryway but my apartment has ikea furniture from years ago (like from before I even moved in)
I also live right next to the university so there's mostly students here
You should build a house for a simmer who has 8 cats, and each of the cats get their own room. Cat mansion :)
OH MY GOSH!!! Best build idea I’ve ever heard 😂
YES 😺😺
Wow!
You are right and you should say it
PLSSS
It's always so weird that the in-world debug buildings look normal and realistic and the ones EA builds for gameplay look like an alien was trying to understand human shelters.
😂😂 👍
This is the perfect way to explain it! 😂
There's a theory that the builds were intentionally bad so that the average player would be able to improve them
@@complainer406 nahhh that gives them way too much credit lmao
@@complainer406 Even veteran players can't handle some of these buildings
they should go back to all the old packs and make matching swatches. they owe it to us
Or they could let us make our own swatches like in the Sims 3
HONESTLY
New cc pack: make maxis match (itself). 😅😭🤡
They really should update all the former packs with everything they know now.
@@emd4390 true..but time is money, and money is something they apparently don’t have! *cough cough, multi-billionaire company**
"Do you ever just cry over Sims items?" Yes... yes I do. it's why half of my builds don't have fences because none of the gates match!
Somewhere far away in the universe , the gates match lol
Have you seen the snoop dog meme on youtube about fences that don't fit?
I'd love it if some CC creator just did a whole build catalogue add on of all the things that are missing, and adding swatches to make everything match. If only I knew how to do it myself
@@limiv5272 It'd just be a "I fixed the swatches" CC and it replaces all of the items in the game with swatches that actually match each other.. It'd be a massive undertaking but it'd be amazing.
@@Eventide215 We're not missing just swatches unfortunately. For example we have a lot of fences without matching gates and/or stair railing.
I love it when Simsie comes up with storylines for her sim builds.
Really I live sending my Sims to uni
@@tallulahbrown5864 I can’t be bothered it’s too much effort to have to do that for me.
@@yuhhbiscuit if you still have this problem... There's a mod for making college easier in the Sims (sadly not in real life) so you can have more fun
Simsie: “the windows and the ikea furniture are a strange combination”
Me: looks at my dorm in a very old building with old windows and ikea esc furniture
But wouldn't such a dorm come with old cabinets and such? I think that should've been in the pack
@@limiv5272 Not in dorm rooms. Plus some college students are not known for caring about antique furniture/cabinets or anything else. Like most people who rent houses don't actually mow the lawn or clean the cabinets etc because it isn't thier property so they don't care if it looks like crap. The same with old buildings full of students/renters, it is cheaper to deal with cheap kitchen cabinets etc and replace them every 20 years or so, because even if it looked like Dumbledores office they wouldn't have any respect for it either, because it isn't thier stuff. It would cost a small fortune every year to repair Victorian style oak cabinet doors or mahogany stair rail posts after some drunk kids vandalized them. Plus some students are often rowdy and drunk so they will care even less about expensive centuries old furniture etc and have no problem puking and passing out on a 200 year old Persian carpet. They would be more upset about "thier" Ikea desk. The dorm I was in (1 semester in the early 90s, I hated living in a dorm because of all the noise and crap so I went home) was in a building from the 1920's but it was junky inside with Avocado colored linoleum floors from the 70's and press-wood cabinets etc. It almost looked like squatters lived there or a motel. Since the next group of students wouldn't care either, they hadn't updated the place since like 1973 or something when they turned the building into a dorm. Just because you would respect it, does not mean others will.
@@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059 From the sound of it, it's a good thing I never lived in a dorm [I lived with my parents and took a train every day]
@@limiv5272 It could be different elsewhere. But I am introverted and don't drink alcohol or coffee so maybe it was just way too chaotic for me. Maybe extroverts wouldn't have so much of a hard time.
The national heritage say you must keep an old building. Grade 1-2 listed. So they convert 'em.
this is the prettiest starter home i've ever seen.
Same
This is much nicer than all of the dorm rooms I’ve ever seen.
Love it!
Girl…be honest now
@@monifhorsham895 the inside isn't special but that outside?? GORGEOUS.
I think a reason why there's so little matching and overall consistency in any of the packs is the amount of temp work EA uses. A lot of the staff isn't permanent. They're temps. They get a brief, like make this- these are the perameters, and they finish, clock out, and that employee is never heard from again. And you can't really hold them accountable because they don't give a flying hoot. It was like a few weeks of paid work, and they're gone like a fart in the wind. What does it matter- its temp work, so whatever they do is 'close enough'. Because EA also downsized Quality Assurance so much, its not like someone can hold them to a high standard. Because these are private contractors, it costs EA less... And the fans of the sims just have to suck it up and deal with a poorer quality product
EA could still easily give the people a set of textures, colors, etc they have to work with so they match better. The main issue is like woods in the game never really have the same tones. What they should be doing really is having people create just the model then another team that creates the textures that then go on that model. Like Sims 3 did to allow the create-a-style to work.
@@Eventide215 that would entail like... a team. And EA only uses a skeleton crew of salaried employees. They don't need to give temps health insurance, after all, so they're not incentivized to make a lasting team to direct with a baseline of meshes, and to supply consistent textures or a "texture bible" to refer to for those meshes. it would be great if they did that, but they just don't. It seems really obvious to us, but that's because we see the thing in the totality. On the inside, I think its like the fairy tale of the blind men touching only one part of the elephant at a time. Its such an ingrained way of working that I think it's hard to break out of that now, if not impossible. (Just look at when simtubers have the creators visit the lots they build and they're shocked and surprised at being called out for missing toilets and things like that. They don't play this game and don't think about this stuff - like NOT AT ALL lol)
@@lockboxDAI You sound like someone that has absolutely no idea about anything but just make stuff up based on what you heard and your like grade school level of knowledge about business.. I regret ever replying to you.
Britechester is hands down the best world for rags to riches. Your Sims can go sleep, eat, shower, etc in the dorms and no one notices to get upset.
That's because most college students understand the struggle. They survive off of coffee, ramen, and dreams.
@@tallgrl94 And because the features of that pack don't fully work so it can't make residents get upset about squatters properly lmao
I love it when we get to see Stanley in a not-Stanley-centric video. It's like we're checking up on him and making sure he's okay. Since the videos about him tend to inflict trauma. Here Stanley, come look at this cute house in the university neighborhood!
Man, I bet this lot would make a killer location for a frat house. Like, couch on the front porch, random thing like an old firetruck in the front yard, as many bedrooms as possible, hangout in the attic and all inside a beautiful old house with random clutter. I'm not into greek life but I'd love to see a take on the house.
I mean this in the best way possible but I love how Kayla’s intros are literally introduction paragraphs to essays 😭😭 maybe it’s the English major in me but I noticed the hook, relation to the topic, major points…maybe I’m reaching but it’s funny lol
I would LOVE for the university pack to get an update. Like for example to get KITCHEN COUNTERS. I think this pack would be a good pack for more KITCHEN COUNTERS (and bathroom stuff)
Since it’s supposed to be a university pack it’s kinda strange how they didn’t add bathroom stuff.
@@yuhhbiscuit university has a stall toilet though
@@yuhhbiscuit why is it strange? Do you heavily associate bathrooms with university or something? I don’t think this pack particularly needed any bathroom stuff, everything in the game already works for dorms. They added that stall toilet and individual shower anyway.
I mean I would like for it to actually have University gameplay. Cause this is just gloryfied Homework pack. Definitely didn't need this American centred shell of rabbit holes, that doesn't even remind proper University. Which is even more insulting when you consider that game makes you pay for a human/Sim right that is free education. Its not even good fraternity pack. Mostly Robotics, Bikes and Open Shower Head pack. And even that was taken, by Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape. Making Discover University the one Expansion that should have been returnable.
Super cheap stuff, and add another countertop oven thing like the one from DHD !!!!! Why isn't it a thing in the University pack ???
Simsie: "We can't do that..."
Also Simsie: *Does that*
Priorities
I think the reason for the "old building" doors and windows is that in alot of Universities (especially in Europe) they are old buildings, some centuries old, but the resident students will only be there a few years, hence the cheap Ikea stuff. None of them are bringing grannies antique dresser and thier great-great grandparents marriage bedframe.
it's like every frat house... looks cool from the outside, but on the inside they're a mess/not recently updated.
simsie complaining about running out of money but wasting all of it on walls for the fake chimney is everything
This is so cute, my only problem with the debug ivy is when you're playing and have the walls down it blocks your view lol
This always makes me nuts!
I just noticed that this starter house is a replica of the starter in evergreen harbor. the size, for me, is pretty much the same, but the kitchen seems bigger and the upstairs only have 1 bedroom (but it clearly fits 2) and the stairs are bigger, so take more space
I mean... I am not going to open my game just to see if they reutilized the idea, but I guess you guys get the idea
Lol I actually was playing with my sims on that lot a few days ago and yeah it is pretty much a replica.
Sims has gotten so lazy with their builds. It's easy to spot the ones that were actually made by gamers. They should have all the lots built by gamers
@@aliopa8516 sims builders have been doing that for a few packs
@@aliopa8516 Snowy Escape, Paranormal, Cottage Living we’re done by simmers. Kayla did Snowy Escape.
evergreen harbor came after university though 😃
My teachers just died from cancer so I was crying my butt of and then I saw you posted I smiled a bit…thank you for always making my day a little bit brighter❤️ Btw you always make great builds!
OH my god, I am so sorry for your loss, may your teacher Rest In Peace 💜
@@yuhhbiscuit Thank you❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, your school, and everyone your teacher impacted. I hope your days get easier ❤
So sorry for your loss! ❤️✨
I’m so sorry for ur loss may she rest in peace ❤️💜💙. My heart goes out to u, you deserve soo much
I've renovated this house, and I found it useful to put the staircase outside. I also built the house taller, so like 3 stories (could add more plus a basement). I think it's an interesting location, but I wish there were more playable lots in this world.
I never play in Britechester because it feels like there are no amenities there. That is a nice lot though! I would kill for multi family town homes in the game. You always do a great job, Simsie!
How does Simsie just pull the most perfect floor plans out of thin air
Because she's a fucking icon
Luckily through the roommates system, your roommate will place down decorations to jazz up their room and personalize it, it's super cute actually. University is one of my favorite packs, I broke a save file because i played the pack so much using the club system for frat/sororities and I had like 98% young adults in my save 😅 I should've started the 100 baby challenge! (Why didn't i think if that)
"do you ever cry over sims items" yes... WHY IS THERE NO CABINETS FOR THE ISLAND LIVING CABINETS ONLY SHELVES
They should do a base game update just to update all the prices to be reasonable and to match swatches for build and buy mode.
simsie should do a plumbob themed house and put every plumbob themed decor we have in it, it would probably be horrific - seems like kayla
I love it! You made me think of Amsterdam. They have the largest windows on the first/ground floor and the smaller windows on the second and third. It used to be for the guests they would welcome in the past, they needed the most light on the first/ground floor since that would be living space. Maybe this will create some inspiration for your next build ❤️
this build is so cute! It makes me want to play university again.
I renovated this house yesterday and managed to fit in 4 bedrooms 💅🏻
Wonderful video yet again. I put semi-detached cottages on this lot, I'm from the UK so this is normal lol, I actually live in a stone fronted terraced mill cottage as my town was heavily into linen weaving during the industrial revolution, and mining of course, I live in Yorkshire and most towns and villages had a coal mine back then.
Tip for auto-columns: you can make a square with walls, put wallpaper and then again add windows. They will all be deleted. Or maybe don't delete inner walls before putting wallpaper outside, that sometimes works. 😀
I remember your Sims 3 University Let's play and it was hilarious, nothing compares to the Sims 3 chaos. That one and the Generations let's play are my all time favorites. Maybe is time to bring it back
I’m using this house for my college sim who lives with his girlfriend and their toddler lol. I turned the room with the purple bunny rug into a kids room and it works out. But when I saw the tile on the floor and walls in the kitchen/bathroom I sincerely questioned your sanity lol. I had to come look at the actual video of you building it
University is easily one of my favourite Sims packs, (mostly bc it was the first pack I got and because of the beautiful cas and build items) but SO many of the hairs from this pack have become basegame (same with island living) and it makes me so sad! This pack had so much potential but it can get so boring so easily!
I have been LOVING these building videos when you talk through them!!!!!! They’re so comforting!!!!
Simsie: We can’t do that!
Also Simsie: Does it anyways
My first thought was that it looks like they tore down the neighbouring buildings and left that one house standing. So like they build new stuff all around and the one building is now standing on an empty field as a reminder of old times.
I've see this from time to time and I absolutely love it. They seem sad and badass at the same time. I aspire to be the last building of a row still standing:)
Ok but this is one of the most accurate college housing builds I've ever seen
I really want to see more builds in Windenburg again. There were obviously heaps when the pack came out but it’s my favourite style of architecture and it’s all gone now :(
I live in a college town and freestanding houses that look like that aren't uncommon, they're usually frats BUT they're old and cool and even though it looks weird In the sims , it's very accurate LOL
Perks of being home sick (not covid) is that I can watch Kayla's videos as soon as they come out
I'm sick (with covid) and just had the same thought
@@avapatino6058 hope you get well soon :)
"There's totally not enough space for a dresser in this room." The Tiny Living dresser: 😟
would be fun to put backpacks or shoes under the stairs to fill in that space as "storage" or a small narrow dresser - also pretty realistic
yasss first, i'm always waiting for u to post so i could have something to watch while eating dinner!
I was just looking at old university build videos to get ideas for my legacy challenge and you post this video, it’s perfect timing
"Can anyone give me an honest answer as to why they've done this to me?"
Simple Kayla.
Because, SIms.
😂
I absolutely love this build and it’s also SO accurate to student housing in my university town irl. Complete with beautiful historical buildings on the outside with the most cheaply designed and poorly maintained interiors (those tiles look just like my uni house). Nailed it!
I’ve always used this lot to build a set of townhomes similar to the ones in the background/to the left.
I love this style of videos so much :D
This build is gorgeous!!
You do o musch for this channel, we love you! I'm never out of things to watch with you!!
Petition for Kayla to do a another University let's play with Gertrude but this time in the Sims 4 !
I think that the outside of this house is one of the coolest ones bc it's very realistic, though the mood is certainly killed since it's a detached house and not a terraced house
I like how the guy just had sports equipment and a laptop and the girl has a rabbit rug💀
This is one of the cutest houses I love ur builds
You are so amazing at making houses, I love your builds💜
I really love this starter home. Kayla really outdone herself with this one!
simsie this build looks SO GOOD
I love your builds! They are so good!!
I am in love with this house simsie. You are soooooooooo good. 💛
I remember seeing someone building on this lot dorms for students, it was this type of style houses glued to eachother, so that's an idea, if you wanna try and do something like that as well
u have such good taste I'm obsessed with all of ur builds 🤩
I can't get over how Simsie talks about building starter homes the same way I talk about my sims and their backstories
I’d like to see you redo starter homes into what you’d want with no budget. I like the struggle but your vision without restraints is awesome to see as well
love this house, it's so pretty
I loveeee ur videos
The build actually looks very cute and realistic! You are great! :D
I would love to see you do this house again, same lot, basically the same exterior but a rich sim is living on the inside. Maybe not exactly a rich sim, but a sim funded by their parents so they're living good.
Really loved the look of this build!
"You ever just wanna cry over a sims item" yknow sometimes I worry about simsie
That’s literally the story of my life 😭
this is so adorable simsie!!!♥️♥️
i genuinely love this house
tbh i'd love a video of just simsie going through debug and reacting to it
I need to get back into sims, I love this game so much. ❤️
This is such a cute build!!
Dream home vibes for meeeee, I would love to see a renovation of it without money limitations!
The house turned out really pretty! :)
thank u for making this i so often wanna play university but get caught up in hating building 😅
Soo good!!!love it
this house legit reminds me of the houses in the uk and i loveeee itttttt
“i know it’s not ideal to have the kitchen by the door…” my house: front door opens right into kitchen. i hateeeeeeee it
Why? It means you can walk in and get straight to the fridge. My house does that too
Kitchen by the door is best. Arms full of stuff, (always are after a long day) counter to set it all down on is literally right there.
I agree that this lot is sooooo bad! Glad you did magic to it. Would’ve been nice to make this a frat house
I actually love the university bedroom furniture, especially the lighter colors !!
It would be nice to see you do challenges where you can decorate your houses a bit more. I understand that obviously for challenges like this, you have to keep to the budget pretty strictly, but I also think some of the rooms just end up missing out on what they would have realistically e.g. the dorm without the dressers. I guess it is just a compromise for the challenge. Your house ended up looking so pretty and I absolutely love your videos! Please keep them coming :))
it would be fun with a house. that started as nice home. got abanded. then some students moved in. So windows doors and the building can be nice. some staines and cracks added. but all the furintures are cheap.
The original architecture is spot-on for an English village. It's called a two-up two-down, meaning the number of rooms on each level. Toilets on these houses would originally have been outside and are retro-fitted to the upstairs making one of the bedrooms smaller. They would have been in long rows of terraces, but this was pretty good as a realistic modest starter home for an English village.
love the staircase placement!
the amount of times that kayla says "so lets kill that window" is hilarious
I love these small money challenges, but I really just want to watch you go all out sometimes even if it’s small! Lol
The outside of this build is *chefs kiss*. That floor-to-ceiling tile, though, is going to give me nightmares.
The outro song is a song that Dankpods uses all the time, it's so weird hearing it in a different context than headphone tests.
"I will spend a significant amount of money my own columns, just so I can be less sad." I think we can all identify with that.
LOL That house looks almost 100% like my house when I bought it. Needless to say it doesn't look like that no more. But because of its looks it was el cheapo. But with enough bedrooms for the kids. Love this vid :-) Thank you for making it!
It would even be cool if they made a lifeline in The Sims 4 or any of the Sims game you definitely need to put a police detector and fire detector in there
This lot doesn't even CONNECT to the PAVEMENT!! YOU HAD ONE JOB SIMS TEAM!!
Yeah I have problems just fighting with the roofs. You guys never said it would be that difficult. But thanks for the tricks you have told me. Keep on simsing and game on.
Omg, that tile is something else.
I saw this on the gallery before you even posted this 😅 I'm using it in my game actually since I can't build even if my life depended on it. 😬
