If there's an EP that should get the Spa Day Refresh treatment, it's absolutely Get to Work. Even if they don't add so much, just fix things players have been demanding for. Make the hospital, station, and lab accessible in Magnolia Promenade. If they don't, at least make them actual lot types so players can build their own, like we already do with bakeries, businesses, etc. In that same breath, every commercial lot should be a viable type of business. Imagine owning a gym, a pool, a bar - and imagine cross compatibility with owning cafés and spas. I know that'd be a pretty big overhaul of the business system (meaning, selling services vs. selling items), but still. And God, just add decent assets because the meshes from G2W CAS aged SO badly, then just refresh them. There's so much untapped potential with this EP.

I am hoping for a refresh for get to work like they did to spa day, I think they could add on shop’s and other things.

I played sims 1, all the way through to 4. I’m now an interior & architectural designer 😂

My first “sims” game was Simcity and that Sparked my love for the Sims franchise. I then started playing the original Sims game and have been playing since.

My first Sims was Sims 1. I remember so clearly when me and my dad went to buy Sims 2 later and I was just so fascinated that your Sims' children would actually look like their parents and grow up.

True story: my husband bought me Sims 1 because he thought it would keep me from rearranging our furniture. It didn't completely cure me, but I do spend more time with my Sims than in home decorating, so...

In a GtW refresh I’d really love to see a ticket/token system where like... you could either set a price for entry in general or you could set a price to use a given object (karaoke machine, washer/dryer, arcade games, bowling alley, etc.)

Sims 2 was my first back in the day. I remember how huge of an upgrade sims 3 was!

sims challenge idea: a lets play where the only furniture u can buy is the stuff u buy at retail lots (or the etsy-thing they have - basically, nothing from build mode allowed except for the walls, doors, windows, etc) you can absolutely make your own retail lots so they sell better stuff, but that seems like it'd be a rly fun, annoying, realistic method of buying stuff!

I’m imagining an alternative universe where lil simsie got really into Tetris or something because she never played my sims.

My first Sims game was My Sims Agents, I still like going back to that one every once and a while :)

The Sims 2 is my first ever sims game and that game made me fell in love with the whole sims franchise just because you can do a lot of things on it. When I got older and saw The Sims 4 release, it made me really excited.

As a real life Toy Collector, my SimSelf has been working on completing the My Sims and Simmie (those little gatcha capsules from Snowy Escape) collections and I have to say, it's as frustrating as it is in real life. Constantly searching for the one super rare you're missing, getting doubles all the time, paying ridiculous markups at second-hand vendors. It's aggravatingly realistic...

as someone who works at a toy store irl… you’ve got my stamp of approval!

Cute! Definitely downloading this. That open space upstairs would be cute to turn into a little children’s bookstore! Either as a “separate” business or an area of the main toy store.

I’m so tempted to refurnish this once growing together comes out. All of the new infant furniture makes me SO EXCITED. It’s so close yet so far 😫

I always forget about the retail lots, since everything you buy mostly ends up in your inventory. I would love a refresh on Get To Work where you need to go to a retail lot to obtain certain items, or just something which makes you want to visit them. I miss the cohesiveness in the retail lots.

If you want to add more stuff: swingset displays, bicycles, playhouses.

oh man, the original MySims was my absolute jam for YEARS!! I loved all of the MySims games and still hope EA makes some more at some point. Agents was genuinely a good and interesting game

my first sims game was mysims kingdom too! what's funny is that I kind of used it like the sims where I would invent storylines for myself and the other characters. I loved that game.

My first Sims game was The Sims: Free Play, which was pretty much the Sims Mobile before that existed. The graphics were terrible, their was barley anything to dress your Sims with, and every action besides the very basic took multiple minutes or hours of real world time! It was clearly trying to get you to cave and buy their in-game currency, which I never did, but I eventually got so stressed out with their timed quest lines that I had to uninstall it.

My first Sims game was The Sims 2, 13 years ago... I got The Sims 3 shortly after, but Sims 2's still got a special place in my heart

8:40 When I was uploading 3D animations I'd go back and rewatch them every now and then for inspiration and to look for spots I could improve on. Then, there were also some that I made that I was just really proud of and enjoyed to rewatch for that alone.

I was introduced to the Sims 2 when I was about 8 by my older cousin. I then got Sims 1 as a Christmas gift that year and made my way up through the franchise ever since. I've owned almost all the base sims games and expansions several times over. Also enjoyed a lot of the spin off games especially sims Bustin' Out and The Sims Urbz.

i never used the collection system until i started incorporating them into my legacies. now i keep a museum in the basement and kind of treat it like animal crossing where the first time i come across a collectible, it goes into the museum. it's actually rly fun rediscovering the collection system! i feel like ppl complain abt how shallow ts4 is but...it's rly not. we just overlook a lot of it.

I really hope that if they ever do a Get to Work refresh that they change the mannequins to have them work like the CAS mannequins from the style influencer career so that we could see the npcs wearing the clothes from the retail stores that we make (and so that I never have to see that stupid eyeball ring again lmao) Edit: As far as I know they don't really do this outside of the lot, but I haven't played with the retail system in a while

This may be a bit of a mushy story, but of all people who got me into the sims it was my grandma. She had sims 1, sims 2 and the original SimCity games back when I was 4-5 in 2005. She had every expansion pack of every game from 1999-2015. When she passed I got a majority of her sims collection. Sims 2 is by far my favorite game ever because it was the game she showed me first and she even taught me how to mod 🥺

My first sims game was sims 2. My friend had showed me it and I fell in love. It was right when it first started too. I remember when seasons came out and man, I was so excited. Unfortunately I don't play any sims games right now. I'm hoping to get a new computer that will be able to support it but I want to get a good computer and spend a little extra. Hopefully in the new year I can. But for now, I will continue to watch your channel religiously 😁

I love when Kayla does speed builds they are so relaxing to watch and listen to her talk.

I think she should do a Pancake Legacy Challenge after the current one

My earliest memories were from elementary school when I would go to my friend’s house to play the original The Sims. I remember we would take turns designing our rooms. We would take so long that by the time we finished building the house I would have to go home. I’ve loved all of the The Sims games since. The first one I ever owned was The Sims 2 Deluxe. Wow, memories. That was back when sims weren’t so self-sufficient. The first time I played it the mom in my family died from hunger (because I didn’t know how to feed them yet) and the grim reaper came to take her away. Safe to say I was a little petrified to play for a while after that. I’ve had every base Sims game since then. I also had My Sims for the Wii. When I saw you placing the My Sims figures it brought me back! This comment was a lot longer than I meant for it to be. Anyway, I love your videos! Keep up the great work :) xx

I LOVED my sims kingdom on the wii! i occasionally go back and play it because i love it so much omg i didn’t realize anyone else remembered that game!

My first Sims game was the Sims 2 for the DS, and let me tell you, it's a weird game. It is bizarre the choices they made for the content for it. You aren't prepared for how weird it is, especially for a Sims game. But it holds a very specific, Strangerville shaped place in my alien body metal detecting heart.

Technically, my first Sims game was Simcity for Windows 3.1!! I remember when the first ad for The Sims came out, it showed Simcity and zoomed in on one of the houses and said 'Imagine if you could control the people in your city' (or something of the sort, it was 20 years ago, I don't remember the exact words). I have played every iteration of The Sims on PC since then. I only discovered you (and others who make videos about the game) during 2020, when I finally had time to play a bit. My building and gameplay have been enhanced greatly since then, so thank you for that! Also, this is a cute store, I wish real toy stores looked like this!

I love this! And it’s cool to see how many toys there are just in base game - a lot of them I forget all about. I am very old so my first Sims game was Sims 2.

my first sims game was actually the mobile one! I loved that game but I always got bored of it around the time I had 10 ish sims, because everything took like a week to finish. when I discovered the sims 4 and all the crazy stuff you can do in it I was absolutely blown away and I spent so many hours just building houses. your videos have gotten me back into the sims so thank you for that :)

This kind of EA build makes me so nervous for The Sims 5. There are so many things that need to be improved from The Sims 4 and also so many things that the community has wanted for so long that they could add that I'm afraid of things like this getting left by the wayside. Honestly I feel like if they just committed to making continuous improvements for The Sims 4 and adding things we want and fixing the issues that are already there I feel like it would be better than a whole new game where we have to start over with our laundry list

My first Sims game was the original game! I think we had all the expansion packs…so many good memories, especially with Makin’ Magic and Vacations!

Kayla saying that she used to play my sims kingdom on the wii was the highlight of my day, I LOVED that game, it was my favorite thing on the wii! My first sims game was the sims 2, but I just watched my sister play most of the time, so I thing my sims kingdom was truly my first game

I remember playing SimAnt on the computers in school when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. That was technically my first Sim game. Then SimCity2000, and after that was The Sims with alllll the fun expansions like Making Magic and Hot Date. Love watching your videos and seeing all the creative things you come up with, Kayla.

The apartment thing made me think of my decades challenge sim, her parents died and she went to live with her great aunt. She ran away to her parents old restaurant and now she lives in the attic. Did I forget to mention she’s a vampire? Pretty chaotic family…

I actually started playing Sims. back when The Sims: Double Delux Edition came out in 2003, as a 11 year old. And haven't stopped playing since. And I've even played every version of sims at least ones. This includes PC and Console games like Sims Medevial and Castaway, The Urbz, all of the My Sims series. As well as trying out the mobile game ones. Starting to feel a bit old haha

I am an OG. I received The Sims for Easter in 2000. I was 16 and in HS. I was wandering around the Wal-Mart electronics section - cuz that’s what you did in small town America in the late 90’s/early 2000’s - and this bright yellow case caught my eye. I was VERY familiar with Sims City so I was intrigued. I read the back and was told I could LIVE as my Sims in Sims City and design my homes, design my Sims & CONTROL their lives! I BEGGED for it! My Mom agreed to get it for me but it was an Easter present (and Lent hadn’t even started yet). I finally finagled my Mom to let me have the booklet that I kept in my bedside table and read almost every night. By the time Easter rolled around I WAS READY! I’ve been hooked ever since.

hi Kayla, I as a "pro" simmer who played first gen sims back in the day and I, too, also loved "my sims" on the wii.. I felt kind of silly every time I played it but it was ADORABLE :) A lot of people overlooked it since it was much diff then past games!

From a birds eye view, the first floor unironically looks like a puzzle piece which Kayla might or might not have done on purpose :)

I started playing with using retail lots in my games more and it’s so cute. With the more mannequins mod, little boutiques are SO! FUNNN!! I started playing a black widow save and I use those as milestones for her, like she starts shopping at one bougie and high end stores as she gets more money. Edit: my first sims game was sims 2 castaway btw lol

I watched my brother play sims 2 castaways on the PS2, but my first sims game was the sims 4. I started watching you and Deli and I just NEEDED to join in the fun! Now I have every pack :)

I have been loving your build short tips!

My first sims game was sims medieval which I still love so much. The gameplay and build items are so different from the normal sims games and it's so much fun!

My first Sims game was TS2. I think I was 8 or so and my older siblings introduced it to me. I think it was after Open for Business and Family Fun Stuff came out because I vaguely remember how terrible one of my first houses was. I think it was a giant tall box with almost no windows. I remember being obsessed with including a party room for some reason. I then got more into architecture and got grid paper so I could draw house plans and build them in the Sims. I definitely remember when the Sims 3 came out because we would share the disc. Sims 4 I didn’t buy until a few years in because I heard about the backlash. The Sims 4 still has many issues but I would say it’s definitely improved a lot since launch. I think what got me more into the sims over time was actually watching James Turner (who I remember as the Sims Supply) and Lazy Game Reviews for the Sims 3 packs. I also remember Quxxn’s LPs. Now I follow a lot of Simmers.

I'm a few months younger than you but I played the very first Sims game as a very very small kid. I remember being like 4 or 5 and grabbing a snack while waiting for it to load on my mom's work laptop. My mom and sister were also super into the Sims as well. It might as well be a family hobby these days.

My first sims game was the sims 2 for pc and my brother and sister both loved it and introduced me to it when I was 4. I’ve been hooked ever since

My first Sims game was Sims 2, but I remember my mum playing the original first part. I wonder where she got it, because The Sims 1 was never officially translated into Russian and I bet she wasn't that good at installing things from the Internet 🤔

My first Sims experience was at a friends house, I was maybe 11-12 years old. This was about 20 years ago so it was probably the first one. I didn't own my own sims games until I was in my 20's though and I started collecting the Sims 2 games. Loved Sims 3, and avoided sims 4 for at least a year before I finally broke down and bought it lol.

I played all the my sims games on the wii and a couple on my ds. They are awesome! I’m glad I’m not the only one that loves the my sims series

I really enjoy watching your videos, always entertaining. Sims 1 was my first Sims game and I have some great memories of it!

I hope Simsie continues the build tips shorts, they’ve actually been so helpful

My first Sims game was SimTown… came out in 1995. That was a great game. I’d love to play it again.

the sims 2 DS game was my first and looking back it was such a weird game lmao but it holds such a special place in my heart ❤ i still have it and honestly might try playing it again soon

This is one of my fave builds you have done in a while - you can tell you had fun doing it :)

The Sims 3 was my first! I used to go over my friends house after school and we played together. Then I got my own game later on. Great memories.

You just made me feel so old! 😅 I was in college when the Sims 1 came out and our whole family played it. I also played it’s precursor, Sim City, because my dad loves video games.

My first sims game was the sims 2 for DS which i still play to this date, and also my sims kingdom, i loved it so much, with the little cows and the scientist lab! it was so fun

The sims: bustin out was my first sims game on the game boy advance, good memories of that game though I can’t imagine it was all that good, I’ve went back to it a couple of times and loved it

Omg!!! Let me tell you how much I absolutely loved the MySims series!! Literally began my sims journey with that series and I played the first MySims when it first came out back in 2007 when I was 8 and I still till this day have every single MySims game. MySims Kingdom was high key the best though and MySims Agents Lol. First official sims game was Sims 3 and then of course I’ve been playing sims 4 since it came out as well. I was so happy though when I first found the MySims characters in the sims 4 I was literally near tears lol.

You’re such a baby! I was graduating high school when you started playing the sims. It’s amazing how far you have come in 13 years having a successful sims channel! I started playing 20 years ago and haven’t managed to do anything too exciting with that time lol

My first Sims game was Sims 1. Got it pretty much at release. I spent a ton of time on mods that spring. Never had any extension. Then university got too stressful in the autumn semester and I forgot about the game totally. Until 2017. I bought the Sims 4 and the Cats&Dogs extension. I didn't forget this time and it is a good game for relaxing after work. This time I got most extensions (except all kits, batuu and paranormal)

Sims 3 was my first and I just got back into playing 4 a few months back. Love this build! Totally downloading this!!

completing collections was one of my favorite things to do in ts3, but for some reason i don't really bother with it in ts4. i think it's because the inventory UI is so tiny and hard to use that it just makes managing & organizing items so miserable.

Finally, my dream of having a toy store named after me comes true. 😂

What about an decades themed mall expansion? It would come with a city world or maybe the whole world is an indoor building. Lot types would all be little shops. It could come with some kinda manage multiple shops game play. Less real time working in a shop/restaurant like we have now and more big picture business management.

Wow, this build... I seriously love it?! I've been on a big AC kick since the update, but you've got me thinking about firing up TS4 to snatch this off the gallery, big time. Thanks for the inspo, Kayla!

Watching lilsimsie while taking my first covid vaccine is so relaxing. I’m so scared of needles and it really helped 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

I played a little bit bit of the first sims, but my first proper sims experience came from the creepy sims 2 hotel DS game, that game still haunts me lol

My first sims was Sims 2 pets on the PlayStation! I LOVED it and when the sims 3 came out that was my favourite. I also got a load of the original sims games just because I enjoyed collecting them and playing with them!

My first Sims game was also MySims Kingdom! My favorite part was the tennis minigame; I played it all the time over and over again.

When I play doing a retail store, my sims ALWAYS live on site. It makes it so much easier.

The Sims’s Bustin’ Out on GameCube was my first sims game. I went back and played it when lockdown first started and it was definitely not appropriate for me to be playing it at such a young age. 😂

My first sims game was Sims 1 as a kid. I had every expansion for it and remember downloading items online and playing on our big CRT monitor on our family computer. Wow that makes me feel old. I never played 2 or 3, but got back into it when I was older and am into Sims 4 now.

Sims 2 on game cube was my first sims game… I loved it soooo much… I like how you can control the sim with the joint stick.

fixing builds is a talent and a skill cause i only take everything down and build something new instead

Thank godness your renovating these!

by the way I’m loving life with these longer videos! 20 min simsie videos is what I NEED! x

I’m 22 too and played Sims 1 a bit because my sister had it, but my real first Sims game was Sims 2 Double Deluxe which became my hyperfixation from when I was like 6 until my dad forced us to switch from PCs to Macs so I had to get Sims 3 which was nice too. But because I loved sims so much my mom got me MySims Kingdom for my DS when that came out. Sims has really been my “special interest” for like 16 years

omg i love this

Yes Simsie, you definetely can fix this build 😅

Sims 2 double deluxe was my first sims game I owned! My sims kingdom is such a FUN game. I love that game and I still have it. Every now and then I still indulge in it

What a beautiful Christmas tree you have there. have fun with the sims. I liked to play that too

Hey, could you try to make a base game townhouse next to another townhouse. It looks so cooooooll :))

the fact it’s name is pattywack speaks for itself

My first Sims game was /MySims Agents. My mom played it and I fell in love. I still adore that game and I thnk my mom still has it. I was also really into The Urbz: Sims in the City

my first sims game was the sims 1 and boy howdy is it way different than my shoddy childhood memories portray it. it was really so cool back in the day, but I can't go back to it at this point. the sims 2 is honestly my favorite of all of them and I still play it periodically now (the superior sims game, imho), but it's so unstable on my pc despite so many patch and fix attempts that I can't play it for long without my computer trying to die.

Early love the vid❤️

I love this build, definitely going to use it in my current game. I love the idea of taking your kid to the store to buy them some new toys when they age up! I first played Sims 1 when I was pretty young. I’m currently getting my laptop to dual boot so I can play it again.

My first Sims game was Sims 2! But I must admit that I never really figured out the way Sims 3 worked, and then I kinda forgor about The Sims for some years, and suddenly a video of someone playing The Sims 4 popped up on my facebook feed and I got reminded of it and kinda re-learned how to play it (I was kinda afraid to play TS4 because of my experince with TS3) and now I'm all about the Sims hehe 🥰

My first sims game was the sims 2. My grandma played it, and she got me interested in it. She also bought me some of the spin off games for my gameboy and GameCube and later my Wii. I enjoyed them, but I didn't become obsessed until I got the sims 3 for PC for Christmas when I was 12 or 13. I've been obsessed ever since 😁

Sims 1 was my first. Went the classic route with meeting friends and playing with them. One plays, the other one sits next to them and watches and gives advice.

My first Sims game was Sims 1 when Livin' Large came out. I picked it up with the base game from a second hand computer game shop for £5 each lol and fell in love with it instantly! And here I am over 20 years later, still obsessed with The Sims!

Sims 1 was my first sims game ever, Ahaha I think that’s where my anxiety started, when my house would get robbed and that creepy music would play, and your sims couldn’t do anything about it, and also when the fire would spread literally everywhere 😭🤣

My first sims game was MySims Agents!! The mysims figurines are so nostalgic to look at and see some characters from it!
