AHHH I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT IT!!! it was so hard to keep this to myself this whole time 😭 I'm going live on Twitch today to show off a ton of early access footage! You don't want to miss it! www.twitch.tv/lilsimsie
Same! She's been such an icon to the Sims community that's so great that the game creators let her leave her mark in building like those! Also, Simsie is such a good builder in her style.
@@benamisai-kham5892 same here! I play animal crossing and I see so many talented artists on there, I’ve had a good few tries at doing an artistic island and it’s SO HARD. Like unbelievably so 😭 definitely is an art form and I think it should be recognised more widely as one hehe
This really captures how starter homes SHOULD be. Simple, but with good bones. It's a lot easier for players to add or replace furniture or add a yard as a family grows than have to suddenly add a whole new bedroom. I love to build from scratch personally, but a lot of people don't and this is great for those players - or just for those of us that want to yeet out some "extra" family members :,D
Kayla, we WANT you to get that coin, girl! Don’t hesitate talking about it. Don’t worry we all are excited to play with your amazing builds and EA rightfully so picked you.
Agreed Kayla has taught me so much about building with all her little tricks that's actually how I discovered her channel I am still bad at building but at least they are a little better thanks to Kayla building has never been my thing.
I was so happy to hear they pay the simmers tbh. I was kind of worried that EA would be like "well you're in our partnership program! you get to build for us! :D", so it was a relief to hear they do, in fact, get paid.
You're officially a video game environment artist! The process you went through with feedback and iteration (and working in areas that don't have finished ground, textures, etc 😩) is exactly what environment artists do daily! We work with the prop modelers and designers and art directors to give and get feedback and I'm positive your comments on prices and other stuff were very appreciated.
You shou!d make a video about environmental artists, I'd watch . would love to understand the games I play more. Sims like a huge feat to design environments for games
They only invite those who are very popular, they don’t invite smaller creators, who ACTUALLY know how to build, and it’s not fair for them when they put in more time and effort into building than lilsimsie… 🙄 they just care about money and attention rather than helping small creators a bir
@@Uchiha.Itachii I"m sure you don't mean it that way - but this comes off like you are upset that they asked Kayla to build and that she doesn't know how to build.
@@Uchiha.Itachii Of course they're gonna ask the big creators, it's all about marketing and numbers, why would they hire someone unknown? The point is to collab with the community so they need to choose people very well known in it. Imagine if Nike didn't sponsor Messi but some other random player, that wouldn't make sense at all. It's all about the reach, the marketing and the impact, someone as big as Kayla brings that to EA than some small youtuber.
The Rec center totally reminds me of a YMCA. They’re gyms usually with available childcare and summer camps. They have classes and programs for all ages
@@paulmaccaroni aww that’s nice!! I was never a YMCA kid but my elementary school aged cousin is and I was worried she might not like it so it’s nice to see people discuss their good memories there lol
Its so hype that you actually were able to kinda "immortalize" yourself in the game and then in the expansion pack youve always wanted. Amazing stuff and really happy for you! :D
Thank you SO MUCH for 4 Bedrooms in a family pack. One of my main complaints in HSY was that it was hard to move in family without cheats. I played your build in Snowy Escape quite a bit and I'm sure I will get a ton of use of this one too!
I’m still so glad they learned since the *toilet incident* in Get Famous! It’s so great to see simmers that know what the community wants working on the builds!
@@kellylyssy4192 Omggg I had no idea! I always immediately demolish buildings and make my own. Is the house with no toilet still there or did they fix it???
@@shylemon406 as far as i know - still no toilet 😂 LOTS of houses in del sol valley are missing toilets. one of the houses in strangerville has a kitchen that's not functional, as well as another house that has a staircase to *nowhere.* one of the houses in glimmerbrook has one section of roof that has default tile, whereas the other sections have been changed. a house in windenburg is missing a kitchen sink.......i could list more honestly. the default houses before simmers were building them are a whole MESS.
@@shylemon406 still there. get famous has absolutely awful default builds, so many strange random inconsistencies and mistakes, and the museum. god, the museum. worst default build in the game imo. I wish they would go back and update every world, but my standards are so low at this point - I cannot wait for paralives early access
Its so lovely to see the huge Filipino inspirations in this new world. Robles , Ruano, Bayani ,Aurelio and Ignacio are common Filipino names. Plus Tala means "star" in our language. Its so cool they are using Filipino culture everywhere in this world.
My attention span is practically non-existent so I didn't think I'd be able to watch this whole video, but Kayla is obviously so excited about this that it made it worth the watch for sure ♥
I cant believe we only have 3 days until the pack releases! And the infant update is TOMORROW?! We've been waiting so long that it doesn't seem real. I'm so excited!!
The fact that you were working on this when you had your in laws visiting, and other Christmas things going on is amazing. How did you do it all and never accidentally mention anything?
I’ve signed an NDA for a restaurant chain I did commercial cleaning for and I wasn’t supposed to drive away business or talk about specific locations, but I did mention to a couple family members how the cleanings went vaguely. Anyway, I’m guessing Kayla briefly mentioned to family members that she was working with the Sims team for their new pack and got to add her signature touch to it! :)
@@avewave29 I hope you are right. It is unhealthy to be over the moon thrilled, yet unable to share with your spouse or closest friend/family. This reminds me of a US veteran's story. He said that not being able to tell his wife about his dayjob was the hardest part of his job; which was long distance bombing the Middle East: Which in itself was enough food for ptsd, he said. I'm assuming this duty of confidentiality doesn't fall in the same category.
I officially used the tub in the Rec center. It was water shut off day and my sim was in the red he needed to be clean! See it came in handy! I’ve been living in your Cottage too! Love your builds always!
I always loved how Lilsimsie buildings are "Performant Friendly" while still being very furnished. And having this in the actual game is SO NICE! She could build for every pack and I would be very happy for it.
I am OBSESSED with the blue suburban! I feel like it will be my new favourite starter home. It has everything you need but also has room to upgrade as your family grows and you have more money!
Kayla you are an artist, don’t sell yourself short! The work you do in the sims and your community here and on twitch is truly inspiring and wonderful creations
Kayla you ARE an artist. Its a different kind of art that we (and society) might associate with the word 'art'. But really, you truly are! From content creation to designer! It's all there!!
that rec center is PHENOMENAL! It looked like a workout to build. The flow of the rooms made me think of my childhood rec center when they did family days, where the entire building was open and families were going from room to room. Amazing!
Simsie has been asking for a pack like this for so so long, and the fact that we got this incredible pack and she got to make 3 builds!!! Kayla u r genuinely so amazing
we are all so so so so proud of you kayla! this is such an exciting accomplishment and its just the start of so many amazing things to come! thank you for sharing this journey with us! I cannot wait to get playing with these builds!!! ❤️💓
As a 3D artist and passionate Simmer… I am so excited about the houses you created. It looks so cute and definitely fits the style and criteria of sims. As an artist, you fit the style guide with its limitations and made it look good. It was also awesome to see the progress of the client and how the world comes together. That’s so cool.
It's so wholesome being in the sims community with lilsimsie. I get teary eyes seeing Kayla loving all the stuff she's showing us. Thank you so much! 🥲❤️
Coming back to this video makes me appreciate these builds even more. Your builds are great, obviously, and I’m so glad the devs are using simmers to create lots. Understanding how people play the game makes such a huge difference, like including the bathtub at the rec center, and having rags to riches in mind. Also, wanting to make the building smaller so it wasn’t a giant empty box… traditional EA builds could never. Again, having you and others who play the game as much as you do build these lots makes a world of difference.
I am honestly so excited for the rec center lot type. I've kind of been using libraries as that for a long time, so it's nice to finally have a dedicated space to put all the skill objects and things that don't always fit into a home lot.
Seeing you so excited about this is really great. I'm really excited to explore this pack, and you definitely have a lot to do with it. There's a reason why you're so well liked in the sims community, and it's because you are so relatable, humble and likeable. So happy for you that you got to be apart of something that you love so much. You deserve it all.
I’m so excited for all your builds, ESPECIALLY the rec center. In my legacy challenge I had a teen sim who had an “after school hangout club” and wanted to have them use a club room at high school and was so disappointed when I found out you can’t host club meetings at the high school lot. Very excited to revisit the idea at your rec center ❤
I LOVE this for a starter home. I'm not a builder and I much more prefer decorating so having a big house available for a new family is great, thank you !
I’m actually using the first house for one of my Sims families! But I turned the room behind the stairs into the kitchen and just added archways, that way I had space for a bigger dinning room area (put it where the original kitchen was).Love it, great job 😊
Kind of shocked there hasn’t been a blue suburban officially in the sims yet 😮 Did they give you specifications on the size of the house (tile-wise, not bed/room wise)? The second you talked about deleting objects for budget, I thought of the classic lilsimsie tip “make the house smaller”.
I really like all 3 builds. Really, Kayla, you are an artist! It's right for you to be paid for the work you put into these builds. Your art is building for the sims, which you have a real gift for doing. I can't decide which build is my favorite. But I have at times wished for a rec center like there was in Colorado when I lived there. The rec center you built is just exactly that! A place for any activity. So many places I've lived, if there was a rec center it just is a place for swimming and sports. Yet I Colorado I was involved in art classes and crafting classes at our rec center. One thing I'm really looking forward to are the baby gates. That is such a big thing in life to block babies and toddlers from areas they should not go! I hope from what you said about elders today that this means game play for elders has improved. Although I know I will keep putting elders in my families because they make built-in baby sitters.
Idk why I was crying this whole video, I guess I’m just so proud of you. I’ve been watching you since like 2018 (or whenever you were doing the Gertrude sims 3 series) and it’s just awesome to see how much you’ve grown and how many amazing things you’ve achieved. I’m just a proud simsie parent at this point. Love you Kayla!
I just started playing the game a couple days ago and picked the house that you built by accident lol. It’s a really good build and you did a good job on it
I started playing GT yesterday and accidentally chose the blue suburban house 😂❤ Just loved the style and the fact you could have lots of people living there! Amazing work, really! The funny thing is that the only elements I changed in the house were part of the original plan 🤣 All of your official buildings are awesome! And I love how honest you are about the whole process! ❤
Simsie I was crying so much throughout this whole video I’m so proud of you dear! You’ve put in so much work and learned so much that no longer are you growing from this game, it’s growing from you too!
Kayla, I would love to see (once the pack comes out) what you would do if there weren't money/pack restrictions! Like your original idea before you had to delete things bc it was too expensive. It could be like a mini-series of all 3 of your builds! Or even your old builds for other packs!
I love simsie’s builds, but I truly love and respect how open she is with monetary exchanges and sponsorships! It makes it a lot easier to trust her when she reviews packs.
I may have to buy this pack just for the fact it comes with an actually useful starter home alone. BUT THEN it also comes with the perfect community lot? love it simsie
these builds are AMAZING! the rec center especially is one of the best "pre-made" lots i've seen in the sims - great job simsie, you should be so proud!!!
I moved into the blue suburban home with my family, since I wanted to earn money and not cheat and all. I have to say I LOVE IT!! It’s just amazing and I was SO happy to finally have a nice and bigger home for my sims to start in. Funny to hear you made it since I am so extremely happy to have this. Tho I chose all the furniture and arranged the rooms myself, but this house is just everything. I love it
omg you are actually so creative!! i’m so glad they’re making players like u build for the new packs. the early ones looked so empty and lacking. so excited to play it!!! like fr u make me so excited to play sims again every time they release something neww 💗
i LOVE these lots kayla!!! the blue suburban, the giant house that definitely went outside of your comfort zone, and the rec center that i see my sims using every single day! im soooo much more excited for growing together now
I haven’t watched simsie in a while and I didn’t realize how much I missed her until just now. Kayla is such a comfort to me and all my anxiety just goes away watching her videos. So that’s cool ☺️
You totally did the pack justice I think, thank you! None of the other houses I've seen in the sims packs (I dont have many of the newer ones tho) look like that much thought went into them. I now wanna buy Snowy Escape if you've also designed such thoughtful houses there :)
This is my first time seeing this video and I just realized I moved my legacy sim into a Simsie house and didn’t even notice that it was simsie style till watching this. I thought it was just adorable and wanted to try out the new world after having just bought it. I’m so glad I’ve seen this and can enjoy the house even more.
I'm SO excited! The house is so cute! Would love to see an upgraded or slightly more expensive option? Like this house but you've been in the same save for a little bit and worked up from 22k to maybe 30? Would love to see how it changes things (the archways, etc.) and it could allow you to expand on the vision for this house. It's so cute, and I'm so excited for the pack and the fact that I can play in a house you made!!!!
IM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU KAYLA. I bet your builds look so good, you're so talented ❤️❤️ I hate that I'm working the day it comes out and the next 😭😭
thanks for reigniting my love of the sims. i kind of fell off of it after the holidays but then i watched your purple mansion for your not so berry legacy build video and it made me want to start playing with my 2 legacy families so that i'd have a reason to play in such a gorgeous build. and im really excited for the changes they're making to the game so i wanted to catch up
I'm always glad that Simsie is so transparent on when she is or isn't paid by EA. But I AM glad to hear EA paid her for her builds! She said she's not an artist but design and decor and architecture and landscaping are all totally art imo. Simsie is totally an artist 💖
This is so cool!! I’m so happy for u!! I honestly would love to hear like details of what working with the sims team was like. Like hearing more about the feedback process and like what kind of teams were u working with. Honestly I just think the designing process is super interesting lol
You did SOOOOOO GOOD!! Especially on the Rec Center! What a gift to players who want to do those extra challenges! I'm super impressed and even though I haven't played much (I've watched sooooo much play-time by you Simmers) I'm very inspired to try and test all these out! Thank you!!!
Played for a few days now with the new expansion and I have to say I love to go to the rec center! It's now my favorite place to go with my sims family :3 So good job! Very nice designed and fun to play.
Woo!! Extra bonus at the end!!! I'm SO excited to see how you built the Snowy Escape builds! I love watching builds and it's especially cool with ones I've played in so many times. 😁 Thank you!!!
I’m so happy for you! One thing I’d love as a long time viewer is if after the pack comes out and we all get to see this amazing build, you upload an alternate version of the lot to the gallery (still just base game and growing together) using the items that you would if you could have afforded it!!
AHHH I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT IT!!! it was so hard to keep this to myself this whole time 😭
I'm going live on Twitch today to show off a ton of early access footage! You don't want to miss it! www.twitch.tv/lilsimsie

Right. The items in the game are like the paints on an easel, and she is the painter!!

I was just coming here to comment the same thing lol
I would love a Kayla's Version Of each of the lots tbh. Would be interesting to compare!
In case you haven't seen it: you got your wish. She actually built it again from scratch with total pack freedom.
Ngl she’s the person to get me back into sims and I forever love her for that

IM ACTUALLY SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR SO PROUD OF YOU SIMSIE!!!!!!!
All those years of blue suburbans was actually Simsie training for this day.
Seeing you so excited about this is really great. I'm really excited to explore this pack, and you definitely have a lot to do with it. There's a reason why you're so well liked in the sims community, and it's because you are so relatable, humble and likeable. So happy for you that you got to be apart of something that you love so much. You deserve it all.
I’m so excited for all your builds, ESPECIALLY the rec center. In my legacy challenge I had a teen sim who had an “after school hangout club” and wanted to have them use a club room at high school and was so disappointed when I found out you can’t host club meetings at the high school lot. Very excited to revisit the idea at your rec center ❤
I LOVE this for a starter home. I'm not a builder and I much more prefer decorating so having a big house available for a new family is great, thank you !
I’m actually using the first house for one of my Sims families! But I turned the room behind the stairs into the kitchen and just added archways, that way I had space for a bigger dinning room area (put it where the original kitchen was).Love it, great job 😊
Kind of shocked there hasn’t been a blue suburban officially in the sims yet 😮
Did they give you specifications on the size of the house (tile-wise, not bed/room wise)? The second you talked about deleting objects for budget, I thought of the classic lilsimsie tip “make the house smaller”.
I really like all 3 builds. Really, Kayla, you are an artist! It's right for you to be paid for the work you put into these builds. Your art is building for the sims, which you have a real gift for doing. I can't decide which build is my favorite. But I have at times wished for a rec center like there was in Colorado when I lived there. The rec center you built is just exactly that! A place for any activity. So many places I've lived, if there was a rec center it just is a place for swimming and sports. Yet I Colorado I was involved in art classes and crafting classes at our rec center. One thing I'm really looking forward to are the baby gates. That is such a big thing in life to block babies and toddlers from areas they should not go! I hope from what you said about elders today that this means game play for elders has improved. Although I know I will keep putting elders in my families because they make built-in baby sitters.
Idk why I was crying this whole video, I guess I’m just so proud of you. I’ve been watching you since like 2018 (or whenever you were doing the Gertrude sims 3 series) and it’s just awesome to see how much you’ve grown and how many amazing things you’ve achieved. I’m just a proud simsie parent at this point. Love you Kayla!
I just started playing the game a couple days ago and picked the house that you built by accident lol. It’s a really good build and you did a good job on it
So proud of you Simsie!! The blue suburban is finally canon!! ❤
I started playing GT yesterday and accidentally chose the blue suburban house 😂❤ Just loved the style and the fact you could have lots of people living there! Amazing work, really! The funny thing is that the only elements I changed in the house were part of the original plan 🤣
All of your official buildings are awesome! And I love how honest you are about the whole process! ❤
I'm so excited! The rec center almost gives like YMCA vibes, which I love. I love all you're builds and I can't wait to play !!
Simsie I was crying so much throughout this whole video I’m so proud of you dear! You’ve put in so much work and learned so much that no longer are you growing from this game, it’s growing from you too!
I am so glad you can do this for a living. Congrats on the build it looks amazing.
Girl, I'm emotional af for you. What a dream come true, to be able to be memorialized in your favorite game, through building 😭💕
You definitely got the feel of a rec center. I was feeling nostalgic watching that segment, thinking of the rec center I went to as a kid.
Kayla, I would love to see (once the pack comes out) what you would do if there weren't money/pack restrictions! Like your original idea before you had to delete things bc it was too expensive. It could be like a mini-series of all 3 of your builds! Or even your old builds for other packs!
25:23 Probably a coincidence, but the fact that she put a Bluebell like her last legacy heir is so cute.
I love simsie’s builds, but I truly love and respect how open she is with monetary exchanges and sponsorships! It makes it a lot easier to trust her when she reviews packs.
I may have to buy this pack just for the fact it comes with an actually useful starter home alone. BUT THEN it also comes with the perfect community lot? love it simsie
I'd love to see you renovate this house the way you wish you could have furnished it without any limits and all the packs.
these builds are AMAZING! the rec center especially is one of the best "pre-made" lots i've seen in the sims - great job simsie, you should be so proud!!!
You are literally one of the most talented sims builders I’ve ever seen. You totally deserved this opportunity!
Also, I love the blue suburban lol 😂
I moved into the blue suburban home with my family, since I wanted to earn money and not cheat and all. I have to say I LOVE IT!! It’s just amazing and I was SO happy to finally have a nice and bigger home for my sims to start in. Funny to hear you made it since I am so extremely happy to have this. Tho I chose all the furniture and arranged the rooms myself, but this house is just everything. I love it
Honestly love that your videos aren’t sponsored by them. It lets you give your honest, unbiased opinion. HYPED that they paid you for your work. 🎉
omg you are actually so creative!! i’m so glad they’re making players like u build for the new packs. the early ones looked so empty and lacking. so excited to play it!!! like fr u make me so excited to play sims again every time they release something neww 💗
so incredibly proud and thankful of your work kayla, i love that you're able to share such a meaningful and exciting experience with us
i LOVE these lots kayla!!! the blue suburban, the giant house that definitely went outside of your comfort zone, and the rec center that i see my sims using every single day! im soooo much more excited for growing together now
I haven’t watched simsie in a while and I didn’t realize how much I missed her until just now. Kayla is such a comfort to me and all my anxiety just goes away watching her videos. So that’s cool ☺️
You totally did the pack justice I think, thank you! None of the other houses I've seen in the sims packs (I dont have many of the newer ones tho) look like that much thought went into them. I now wanna buy Snowy Escape if you've also designed such thoughtful houses there :)
I love it how Kayla can talk to herself like a time traveler
This is my first time seeing this video and I just realized I moved my legacy sim into a Simsie house and didn’t even notice that it was simsie style till watching this. I thought it was just adorable and wanted to try out the new world after having just bought it. I’m so glad I’ve seen this and can enjoy the house even more.
LET'S GOOOO! We're all so excited for the Growing Together pack, especially with you as one of their builders.
I'm SO excited! The house is so cute! Would love to see an upgraded or slightly more expensive option? Like this house but you've been in the same save for a little bit and worked up from 22k to maybe 30? Would love to see how it changes things (the archways, etc.) and it could allow you to expand on the vision for this house. It's so cute, and I'm so excited for the pack and the fact that I can play in a house you made!!!!
IM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU KAYLA. I bet your builds look so good, you're so talented ❤️❤️ I hate that I'm working the day it comes out and the next 😭😭
The second build is so gorgeous, I'm definitely moving my sims into that one 😊
thanks for reigniting my love of the sims. i kind of fell off of it after the holidays but then i watched your purple mansion for your not so berry legacy build video and it made me want to start playing with my 2 legacy families so that i'd have a reason to play in such a gorgeous build. and im really excited for the changes they're making to the game so i wanted to catch up
I hear you saying that you’re not an artist but this is 1000% an art. Incredible.
I'm always glad that Simsie is so transparent on when she is or isn't paid by EA. But I AM glad to hear EA paid her for her builds! She said she's not an artist but design and decor and architecture and landscaping are all totally art imo. Simsie is totally an artist 💖
i love your transparency on the money topics and the whole process of working!
This is so cool!! I’m so happy for u!! I honestly would love to hear like details of what working with the sims team was like. Like hearing more about the feedback process and like what kind of teams were u working with. Honestly I just think the designing process is super interesting lol
Getting paid to build Sims houses? That's like every Simmers dream. I'm very happy for you and thank you for giving us better EP-starter builds. 💜
You did SOOOOOO GOOD!! Especially on the Rec Center! What a gift to players who want to do those extra challenges! I'm super impressed and even though I haven't played much (I've watched sooooo much play-time by you Simmers) I'm very inspired to try and test all these out! Thank you!!!
The rec center is incredible! Im so excited for the pack. Congrats!! you did amazing!
Played for a few days now with the new expansion and I have to say I love to go to the rec center! It's now my favorite place to go with my sims family :3 So good job! Very nice designed and fun to play.
holy crap I know EXACTLY where the house on the left @ 17:48 is - I must've walked by it a million times in my life. that's wild!
I love how much thought you put into your builds. I cannot wait to use the Rec Room. it sounds so cool!
I can't wait to see Simsie remix this with all her building tricks and pack items. It's going to be epic.
Woo!! Extra bonus at the end!!! I'm SO excited to see how you built the Snowy Escape builds! I love watching builds and it's especially cool with ones I've played in so many times. 😁 Thank you!!!
I am so proud that you were given this opportunity 🥺❤️ all your builds look amazing !
this is so great, ive built a lot of rec center type builts for my gameplay, its awsome to have it as a lot type!
I’m so happy for you! One thing I’d love as a long time viewer is if after the pack comes out and we all get to see this amazing build, you upload an alternate version of the lot to the gallery (still just base game and growing together) using the items that you would if you could have afforded it!!
Also guys please boost this so she sees :):)
The Rec centre looks amazing!! (So do your houses but I know you’re anxious about communal lots!) well done, so happy for you!
Woah woah woah! They've _finally_ added an upright piano??!! That's the true highlight of this pack.
