"I was never very trendi" says the trendsetting creator that gave us shell challenges and the not-so-berry challenge and the multi-generation gameplay, you're a legit QUEEN

I download your non base game only or pack limited builds every time even though I only have seasons, for rent, and parenthood. Please don't worry about the pack builds, i use your houses as base builds and floorplan guides. Everything is useable.

Snap hanging out with you all day because she's overwhelmed is honestly so precious. She loves you so much and knows you'll take care of her and keep her safe

Snap as a little flower 🥹🌼

I can relate to the guilt when trying to care for a pet. My dog had lymphoma and had to endure chemotherapy and although dogs and cats handle it better than people it still sucked to watch him suffer. He died today. I feel like crap. Snaps needs all the love and comfort you can give. Cherish them as long as you can. You did the right thing protecting your kitty from cancer. 💙❤️

7:51 I’d love to see you try to build/furnish a house using ONLY kits and see how well it works out

the movie hangout vera bradley comparison makes so much sense to me!! hope snap is feeling better ❤️

I...kinda love this build actually! I am super fond of the minty teal colour you used on the exterior and - look, I know its a lot but I might actually go looking for this build to put on my save😅 I feel for you and Snap so hard. It teally is the worst feeling when you're pet is suffering and you know you're doing all you can and its only temporary but they don't understand and you can't explain it to them... Hopefully by now Snap is having a bit of a better time. My heart goes out to you guys❤

I literally had tears in my eyes listening to the Snap update🥺 I am SO sorry that you have to go through that, and I know it's hard (I've had a similar experience with my childhood cat), but it gets better! And you absolutely made the right decision! Kayla, if you need time off, we'll totally understand! Wishing Snap a speedy recovery❤

i was thinking it was the star wars pack …😭

Simsie’s description of her relationship with her cat reminds me of my own cat, who I had since she was a kitten. Unfortunately mine was diagnosed with an aggressive liver cancer which had spread before signs even appeared, it all happened so fast and it was already too late to save her; she was 16 and surgery would have only given her maybe a few months at most. The most painful decision I've ever made was to have her euthanized, she passed away on my lap as I was petting her to sleep. I’m so happy to hear that Snap is alright and that the surgery was a success; losing a pet to cancer was an agonizing experience that I wouldn't wish upon even my worst enemy, much less someone as kind and charitable as Kayla.

I love the outdoor chair it’s so cute, I also love how vibrant and colorful the build is I’m proud of you for stepping outside your comfort zone you did a great job 😊

I vote for more of these pack randomizer builds!! It really switches it up, fun to watch :) love you kayak!

As someone who lives literally down the street from Vera Bradley i can agree that movie hangout looks EXACTLY like those patterns😂😂 18:29

I'm actually OBSESSED with the interior. You somehow made the wackiest color scheme work so well!!! It's so fun and different!

Tbh, this is probably one of my fave interiors you have done. More is always more.

as someone who loves boho maximalist styles, my tip is to just go all in. like completely crazy. at the end it looks like it fits a lot better than when you try to make it match

The firefighter talk honestly is pretty much like my irl experience with them. They went to the wrong street first and it sure felt like forever (especially since the volunteer rescue center is at the end of the road but ig that's not who got sent out). While my mom got the cat out and stepdad sprayed back the fire with a hose. Luckily in that situation everyone ended up ok. The cat had the most difficult recovery but he's all good now just the chillest cat livin his life. It was just extra rough since it was right before covid hit so the house reno for it to be livable took a while.

I love the fact that Snap matches with all the plants next to her 🌱 🌻

As a veterinarian, please keep the Snap updates coming. I am so invested in her recovery ❤

i absolutely LOVE the way the building is all colorful and full of patterns, its kinda amazing how well you managed to mix them all in a coherent way, because this could totally have turned into a sensory nightmare but it was so pleasant for me.. i can see why you would dislike it, being so outside your comfort zone, but it looks beautiful to me

✨Snap the sunflower✨

Simsie: movie hangout is unusable Me: I know the coffee table it’s mirrored and the sofa is covered in colourful cushions, but I really think it could use a giant painted on dresser. It just need moar colour!

Would love to see a wheel randomized build where every room is a pack you hate. (like the only wheel options are Batuu, luxury party, etc.)

Glad Snap is doing well. 🐱 It's so hard taking care of sick pets because it's so confusing for them. I totally relate to the guilt you're feeling. Just keep telling her how wonderful and gorgeous she is and how much you love her, and of course gentle pets and snuggles when she allows. Hopefully she'll need fewer meds soon and stop having such hard come downs. ❤ You clearly adore your babies, you're doing great.

Movie hangout with city living would be such a wild combo tho to build with 😂

I loved the Movie Hangout Pack. I love eclectic style and loved using it in small apartments in San Myshuno.

Honestly I love the colors. But I'm weirdly determined to always have at least a little brazen color in most of my favorite builds. This build looks very like the sim was influenced by african style or latin American style. I used the backyard kit to make a "funky flamingo" lounge community lot. (Entire motivation was using that weird plant in backyard stuff, I even managed to use the kids pink circle wallpaper too lul). But it looks like movie hangout could make it so much fun. I'd love to see your take on something like that. (Ofc there's only 4 people who made funky flamingo lots. Never even thought to try "Funmingo", or "flirty flamingo". But there's not nearly enough takes on "funky" as is.

I love your builds so much Kayla

nooo omg i've never even thought of the movie hangout furniture looking like vera bradley but you're so right

Hey Kayla! The magenta, yellow and turquoise colour combination actually works really well! You ended up building a very playful little house and it may not be a traditional interior colour scheme, but I think it looks awesome :) I really enjoy when you branch out like this because you do have an eye for colour, you just need to let it do its thing more often! Source: I study fashion design, i need to be able to recognise good colour combinations for school all the time 😅 Also these three colours almost form a triangle on a colour wheel which means even the colour theory says it’s good lol

When you got movie hangout and wedding stories, I thought OMG YOU GOT SUCH GOOD STUFF! 🤣 Those windows are my FAVORITE. I use them in so many builds. And I love the poofs and couches and stuff in movie hangout. And those doors. It's funny how differently it can seem to two different people. You make beautiful builds.

I think nifty knitting could go well with movie hangout because like a grannie has like a wildly colourful home and knits rugs and brightly colourful and patterned rugs that sort of go with the movie hangout patterns

im only at the intro rn but igy queen, i recently started a twitter acc jus to post my builds and be more integrated in the community n all, and ive posted a build, but it made me so aware of how many packs i use compared to other ppl who post builds and keep other simmers in mind 😭 ik it doesnt matter in my case bc nobody even sees em but it does feel embarrassing lol, but that said, i love seein you build w more freedom to use whatever you want, like in ur builds for ur legacy and not so berry challenges! they are soso fun to watch come together and i hope you can allow yourself to do more in the future

I LOVE the super busy and bright Movie Hangout furniture. 😂😂😂 I love a mismatched-chairs-from-3-different-yard-sales look and considered buying a plain dining set from ikea irl and painting all the chairs differently. 😂 Movie Hangout, decor to the max, and city living are the packs I would use if I could use the sims to decorate my actual home. For Rent has some good stuff too.

aww her little flower cone is so cute!

9:37 I actually love the color of the walls here, with the rug and all the colorful furniture. Bright, but neutral compared to the accent colors you were using from the rug. And the sunny orange really makes the detail on those green doors pop! It makes me want to try my luck now building a room, even if I don't have any of the packs, with that wall color 😊

i just wanted to say, i honestly love the movie hangout pack. it always depends on my sims for the furniture, BUT for the stuff u can do in it-- the popcorn, the movie discussions, etc... i LOVE it :) movie hangout for building depends on the simmer, but i love the gameplay!

the sunflower cone on snap is cute 💛 hope you both feel better soon!

The comparison of movie hangout to Vera Bradley is SO funny and accurate

THE RANDOM MEAT WALL!?

i love your colorful builds! i agree that it can be fun to get out of your comfort zone, even if you're not fully proud of the result yet! also, you're absolutely right that so many pet owners can relate to your experience. i literally have a whole master's degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare, and i STILL worry about the decisions i make for my pets, even when i know i'm doing the right thing! and it's just so, so hard to watch them suffer, even when you know it's because you're doing the best thing for them. it's never easy to see our wee besties go through hard times. sending love to you and Snappy kitty

Snap in the background in her flower cone is so cute. I hope she's doing better!

You two matching in your yellow is so cute 😭😂

I've been following Snap's journey maybe more close than others because I have a cat with kidney problems that's 14. And I have another that was my covid kitty. My heart goes out to you Kayla ❤ you know we all adore Snapper

I LOVE movie hangout’s furniture. I use it a lot for artsy sims because I think a lot of it looks like it’s been painted on. I like using it for apartments too with the plain swatches and adding some fun ones into certain units for added personality

I'm glad Snap is doing well so far! I know how hard that recovery period can be on us as pet owners too, my 7 year old cat Peggy Sue also had a tumor pop up on her back left hip late last year. Hers was a bit bigger so she actually had to have her leg amputated to make sure they got all of it, but it's been about four months since the surgery and she's completely recovered and adapted to life on three legs. Cats are so resilient and I wish the best for Snap in her continued recovery

I love ❤️ this build! I’m someone who loves big bold colors and vibrant prints. So movie hangout and design to the max are some of my favorites. A lot of sim KZfaqrs don’t seem to like them but I do. And this build so so colorful. The most rainbow 🌈 I’ve ever seen you do and I absolutely love it 😍. I totally see this family as a bohemian artist mom raising her two kids. Their father is with Doctors Without Borders so he’s helping people far away. But it’s ok. And this is so beautiful. You nailed boho. Love it

i actually really love this build ! it’s super different than your normal style and i think you really killed it

Praying for snap’s speedy recovery 🙏🏻❤

Stop that's literally my favorite build of yours! It's so cozy and adorable and I might just be biased because Tartosa in general is my favorite world but I would totally want to live there. Please do more of this challange, this was so fun!

Snap matches as a little sunflower 🌻 I had a good idea with these 3 packs for a build (keep in mind, I don't know what wedding stories and movie Hangout have) a eco living wedding venue with a large movie projector to broadcast it to a large crowd, like a large family or if the sims were rich and wanted to rub it in lol.

I genuinely like this colorful build and think that you made the packs work really well together. All the time that you spent trying to get it right paid off dividends in the end cause it looks great and like a really fun house. Hoping for a speedy recovery for Snap

1: every pet owner feels this way, being their “parent” is so hard and you are honestly one of the best I’ve seen💕 2: this is such a cute house and you’re truely impressive! You did an amazing job and the stream was so much fun 😂

When I played the sims I’d download your builds that had a load of packs and then replace what I needed with base game items. At the end of the day you are a content creator and watching you build a house with all the packs is fun to watch (so are the limited house builds but I’m sure you get what I’m saying). I’m trying to say that you don’t need to worry about others and whether or not someone has the packs for the build or not. Use as many packs as you want or as little as you want

I think this was really well done. The lot you chose for it definitely helps tie in Movie hangout and Wedding Stories together. All of the bright colors fit the vacation rental vibes IMO. I see this type of décor in real life all the time with beach condo's or houses. It is a lot to look at in a residential home but for a vacation rental its not so bad.

i like this build a lot! it's so colorful 💞

Aww, the kitty kinda looks like a flower in the background, that's so cute

it always makes me so happy when Kayla posts :D

i went through something very similar with my cat squeaker a few years ago! stay strong kayla and snap 💞 sounds like she’s doing better now. snap knows deep down that you are doing everything to help her.

this build is actually perfect for one of my sims! I've been decorating her place with a lot of the movie hangout items

this build is actually so good! i love the colors and the fact you stepped out your comfort zone

I love watching Kayla do houses like this, because I am terrified of using patterns lmao. I love to do multicolour builds but I end up using a lot of solids, and overusing white to balance it out. Builds like this one give me solid inspo & are v fun to watch :)

I don't like the super chaotic colors and patterns from Movie Hangout either, but the side table and loveseat have nice neutral wood swatches that I adore. I use them in my boho-y or traditional builds. Sending much love to you and Snap ❤

i actually this place is lovely! very cute and whimsical. nice job, Kayla! trust yourself

I love how patterned Movie Hangout is!

LOVE LOVE LOVE how much color experimentation you did in this build! As an artist seeing ppl matching more difficult color schemes like this is 👌🏻 beautiful. Funny enough, there have actually been studies about how much color has been disappearing from home decor over the years, and it’s blander than it’s ever been. ‘Modern’ is associated with white, black and beige, people gravitate bc it’s simple to match and that’s fair, but still it kills my soul. We need more color in our lives all over 😭 That said I think the movie hangout stuff is incredibly bombastic pattern wise 😂 patterns are fabulous but the items look extremely unrealistic to me. Which obv sims is not hyper realistic, but I mean it doesn’t even match the style of the game either imo. It looks like posters on the floor instead of rugs. I think they’re getting better at it. The decor to the max stuff is really fun! I love the doors in movie hangout too tho, wish more of the pack were like the doors 😂

My advice for mixing patterns for boho style builds is to work with one color scheme, it makes it a lot easier and things look like they go together without *actually* going together, I really love seeing you venture out to different styles of builds! Ik you’re known for the blue suburban but this is a nice change of pace! 😂 I’m also happy to hear about Snap’s surgery! I hope she’s recovering well and her fur grows back more silky and full than ever ❤

the speed builds i find so hard to keep interested in. seeing you go through the process and explaining what you are thinking in the moment is my favourite thing

Kayla you are such a good cat mom and I’m so happy that snappy has been getting better and that the cancer was operable ❤ wishing for so many more years with your bestest friend!

i love the vibes of this build!! so colorful and fun 🌈🤍

I think this build is lovely! It's unique and I love the layout and floor plan! You did a great job!

It looks like your freezer bunny has a sunflower for a friend! Snap is a trooper.

My childhood cat just died in January and the thing you said about yours being your rock and your best friend hit so hard... Cats truly are the purest souls, sending love to Snap x

I LOVE this build so much. It's colorful, but not blinding, one of my faves

I love how much Kayla has changed in the last year. I started watching her a little over a year ago and I soon realized her voice is calming. She’s taught me to build good sims houses and ive put some of my houses on the gallery. I have mostly sims on there but I wanna start getting Into building more houses for the gallery. I don’t have many packs because I can’t afford them. The few I do have while good packs don’t work the best together. I make it work but werewolves and cottages are an interesting combo plus dogs and ghosts. Kayla was a big influence on the packs I got though I did accidentally get dream home decorator but I’m not complaining. All of this to say thank you Kayla for all of the videos you make and the influence you’ve had on the sims community. Also I hope snap gets better wishing her the best.

I really love this build. I also understand about pets and putting them through things for their health. Hope Snap feels better soon.

21:00 the last time my sims house caught on fire, the fire fighters were outside dancing... the kitchen burned down and they left

I LOVE this build tbh!

I really enjoy building videos, not only to see really cool builds that do something really fun and artful, but also to see what a person can accomplish under specfic constraints. I really like to watch simsie do build challenges to see what can be made, it's not always about if they're objectively "pretty" builds. ig im just trying to say, Kayla, I love your builds

Please simsie dont feel like you have to apologize for anything, we literally all get it and just want you and Snap to feel better real soon❤

Glad your kitty is doing okay! I loved this build, it felt so playful ❤️

It’s so funny because I LOVE movie hangout. I use a lot of the more neutral swatches because I love the boho vibe. And you’re right, it works SO well with Eco Lifestyle.

I always enjoy your video's, both the let's play's and the builds. I like you the most when you are being challenged with limited pack builds, because you always seem to make the impossible possible! On another note: I like how snap's cone of shame is actually a beautiful flower :3 And it is a soft one, soo much more comfy for her!

Some animals get cold in surgery under anesthesia! The lovely nurses in surgery check their extremities to make sure they aren't getting too chilly! We have blankets in the operating theatre as well as warming them with our hands!

Snappy may not be thriving, but she is Serving ✨️

this build is so fun!! i think it's great for you to get out of your comfort zone every once in while. best wishes to snap

I feel like I'm the only one who likes movie hangout build items 😭😭😭 I totally agree that it's TOO MUCH but also I love building too much houses. Like a tacky crystal-loving grandma or I love the movie hangout patterns in a Penny Pizazz reno

the way you talk about your cat reminded me so much of my cat, who i had since i was really little. i miss her a lot, that part made me cry a little bit. the build is very nice, i think she would have loved to take a nap in every room :(

NEVER apologize for your fur babies and taking care of them. They are a priority over building Sim houses and playing Sims. I'm sorry Snap has gone through so much and is in pain sometimes. At least you got some meds for her. Crossing fingers the test results will be in a more positive direction like the cancer hasn't spread anywhere else. Even if she's not thriving at the moment, each day she's healing so that's good. It takes time but each day that passes, she'll get better. You're a good Mom to your fur babies and they are more important than us. Take care of them first. I love the house and actually like those colors and I hate green normally. lol

This was so fun to watch. I love the bright fun builds. It would be fun to do a build with no neutrals like a rainbow just threw up all over 🌈

I'm not even a very colorful person, but I love the Movie Hangout stuff. I build a lot with Jungle Adventure too (would kill for a urban latino world) and I feel like those items work great in more latino buildings and that's the reason for the colors, aside from being from an earlier time. This is not a negative thing, but I feel like Kayla focus on "matching" things and using a theme throughout the building, and Movie Hangout gives me the vibes of a mismatched decor, the colors and patterns don't need to match the rest of the furniture, they're a stand alone accent. That wicker loveseat with the pillows is my favorite thing of the pack lol I also love the painted accent table.

movie hang out is one of my faves 😂 i use it all the time i kinda like the bright bohemian vibes 😂

I admire how Kayla manages to keep working this much when her baby is sick. That’s guts.

I love this build!! I hope snap has a speedy recovery and that her results come back all clear!! Shes so very lucky to have such a caring owner and best friend ❤️ x

Movie Hangout has my favorite hanging lights- I used to love Cottage Living the most until I got Paranormal and Movie Hangout- it is so crazy with the colors and patterns but I love them all- especially the Paranormal wallpaper

Recently had to put down one of my family's cats (16.5 years old), so hearing you talk about Snap hurt like hell. Seeing any pet, especially older ones, clearly in pain is one of the most guilt-inducing, nerve-shredding and stressful things ever, cause there's always that thought of "am I doing the right thing?" or "will I have to say goodbye?" Sadly animals are neither invicible nor immortal, so the best we can do is make sure to love them while we have the chance.

i'm typically not a fan of maximalism and this type of this style but i actually really love how this turned out!

wishing snap a speedy recovery, he looks very cute as a flower 🥹 I love your videos btw, they are my safe place 🤗💖

Even if the style of the build is really out-there I honestly think it's really nice! I'm more of a "neutral minimalist decor" person but I love how this chaotic house looks Wish a speedy recovery for Snap 🌻
