Houseboats are one of the most technically impressive things they have done EVER! Imagine all of that on a powerful game engine. That would be the dream.

Simsie, a few days ago: **manifesting hotels/resorts** Simsie, today: **manifesting houseboats** Simsie, next week: **manifesting all-in-one bathrooms**

Kayla: its a boat, you kinda want everything to be secure Also Kayla: places a chair on wheels lol Seriously though this is so cute

As someone who comes from a family of avid house boaters, house boats like the one in Sims 3 actually exists and looks very very similar, I don’t know about the Us but in Germany you can see them on ally the big lakes, they don’t really get moved that much since the shape makes it kinda hard, if you want to visit a bunch of places, your house boat is gonna look almost like a sized down yacht, just not as fancy but they often just have a chain railing, very steep stairs that are more so ladders and a bunch of windows everywhere for some reason, I’d definitely say that the build is pretty close but maybe it’s giving more yacht then house boat but hey either way it’s a slay…..that was not intended, but I’m leaving it cuz it’s funny

House boats were amazing. But yes, Island Paradise definitely wrecked Sims 3 lol

I like that Kayak is venturing out of her comfort zone and making fun houses instead of blue suburbans or even modern houses

simsie has been doing a lot of very technically impressive builds lately and im here for it

Wait, isn't Dadsie a boat captain? He should totally rate this build! 😂

Now that you have a house boat, it’s time for a tree house!

City living i believe has a debug clear foundation. Its perfect for this application. Or dragging a 2nd floor down to the water works well too. 6:14

Get the mod to stop npcs from moving their houseboat it is literally a life saver

I look at a houseboat, kind of like a fifth wheel camper…glamping/gloating🤣 Definitely, you can have plants, candles, etc. on a houseboat! You just need to secure them to a stable surface. We use Velcro strips and 3M Command strips to lock down such items. We also store small items that can move in bins when we’re on the move. This keeps things from shifting or breaking👍🏻

My dad is obsessed with boats, so I’ve been on my fair share of docks. Usually the wood just looks really old and streaky and dark. The wood floors from horse ranch would work great, in case anyone still wants to know what wood works for docks in the Sims loll

i feel like the boat house needed some circular windows to make it extra boat-y!

girl, FINALLY. been waiting for you to do this since forever 😭😂 it's soo cozy, i love how it turned out 🩵

A while back EA did a shell challenge with a plumbob shaped build. I made mine into a ship/houseboat. Sims Freeplay has houseboats, but they don't move.

I find the idea of the box on a water moving interesting. Sadly, I bought Island Paradise a long, long time ago before I realized how buggy it was.

There are a few ways to fix island living, deleting some households and houses and houseboats work, there’s also a fixed version of the world online that you can download! The reason for the lag is because of badly built houses that causes sims to get stuck and also the households that live on houseboats when they try and move their houses 😆 you’d think they would’ve noticed how it wasn’t working well during testing before releasing the pack 😳

The child's room was perfect!! The boat models fit, the matching bed and rug were adorable, the wallpaper just made it ⛵ Great job!!

I like to watch her videos, but watching her build makes me a bit anxious because of how insecure she is about her choices. It's funny and stressful at the same time. I wish I could tell her to just go for it.

I’m honestly loving these different, unique builds

I've heard that deleting all of the house-holds from house boats in Isla Paradiso fixes the lag

People think of TS3 with rose tinted glasses. Yeah, it has cars and a lot of cool things, IN THEORY. It's so laggy. I can't even enjoy it with my gaming computer. Back on video topic: love the build! :)

I would like to see what your dad, Captain Sims, thinks of all the boat related builds you've been making haha

There are debug boats that some simmers use as bases for very small boat builds.

This reminds me of Kayla’s steamboat era ❤️🚢

I always get so excited when I see the notification for a new video of hers

Sims 3 Island Paradise was the first big purchase I ever made with my own money from a part-time summer job and I don’t regret it, even with the crashing and lag. I spent hours building houseboats.

I would love to know Captain Dadsie's thoughts on this one

13:40 just pretend the trash chute goes into a little compartment to be emptied later!

Very cute idea! I feel like this houseboat would’ve been great with a basement that could’ve been like the hull of the boat. But I’m not sure if you can do basements in the water in island living?

Lmaooo why are we getting so many boat builds all of a sudden. Not complaining; I love it!

As soon as I heard "last restock" I RAN to the merch store to get my hoodie and cat socks just in time for fall ❤

i’ve been asking about the sensitive hoodie restock for so long and i’m so glad they’re back!!! just ordered a black one and a necklace!!! thanks kayla

We need these boat houses back, love the cute paintings and the outdoors picnic basket! xD

I've had the cat backpack for like a year and it's awesome! 100 percent recommend!

I want houseboats and hotels so bad!!! Also Kayla you did great building this house boat, don’t doubt yourself! ✨

My experience is mostly with caravans, not boats, but they are similar in the constantly moving and limited space. The trash chute actually makes sense to me. Some bigger caravans have them, where the rubbish goes down into a small sealed-ish space that you then empty from the outside. Which would also make sense on a boat, if you're out on the water you need somewhere to put rubbish where it won't stink up the place. You can't have any regular tub or tile because the moving and flexing will cause cracking. I know a boat is a bit bigger, but I'm assuming it would still be a problem. Also the minimal clutter is likely very real. On the road, you gotta put everything away or else your place will end up looking like a snow globe and that's without waves XD

Stoked to see this! ❤

Simsie every couple of minutes “I’ll have to come back to this, it’s stressing me out” 😂

Honestly I’ve been loving all your builds recently!

ive been wanting the cat pajamas for over a year now so now is the perfect time to buy them iim so excited

This was such a fun build to watch, great job!

👀 Merch of the sewer cat family for Halloween 🥺🐈‍⬛

lifesaver to get island living to be less laggy: you gotta debug and/or delete stuck npc boats like every 20 minutes or so. thats the main reason the game lags :') the stop npc's from moving their houseboat mod sound like a good addition also

Also you can resize the glass tile for skylights of any size. I like the 3d effect of the roof pieces though.

i've been waitung for this video! We love you simsie❤️❤️

This is such a fun concept and I think it turned out so nice!

I simply just love it! P.S. This boat build looks like a tank also 😂😂😂😻😻😻

I promise that grills are fine on a boat. So are candles. In most places you're required to have a fire extinguisher on your boat, and you'd be silly not to anyway, so as long as you follow proper fire safety you're good to grill.

the only youtubers merch i would ever die for im for sure getting the sensitive hoodie in black omgmgmgmgmgm

Love your videos!!!!❤❤❤

Sims Freeplay has houseboats.. sort of. I loved them and the escalators.

KAYLA!! I love your shirt it’s so cute!!

it's so beautiful!!!!!

Isla Paradiso is a great world and houseboats are so cool! I just wish I could play it without turning the graphics so low they're almost 8-bit and shrinking the window size way too much to be comfortable.

As someone who has worked on a boat, a lot of what you were saying isn't allowed is absolutely allowed, a trash shoot would go to a trash bay, candles are fine unless there are stormy seas, ect

I’ve been watching you for so long and never realized that i wasn’t subscribed! Im so sorry! I just hit that button and love your videos! ❤

You can always make another boat-house. Never too many of those :} Maybe find actual pictures for references so you be inspired, or learn how these houses work IRL

I LOVE this!!

Lilsimsie every few seconds: "Like I said, its a boat" 😂❤ love u girl and love this boat!

I LOVED THE HOUSE BOATS!!! I used them all the time (even though it was really glitchy lol)

Simsie: "I can't tell if its cool or awful" Haha, I sometimes say the same thing when I'm trying on clothes. I never understood how I could think its one extreme or the other, but it is nice to see that other people think the same thing.

i live on a boat full time and the boat-themed decor is so common! like people love to buy fish things (we had a fish lamp once lol) and things like that. side note: i love this shirt you've been wearing lately! anyone know where it's from?

I’ve watched so many simsie videos where she says “when else are you gonna use this”. Apparently a lot kayla 😂

ive been around boats my whole life, and i can confirm that yes you can have a grill on a boat

No way!!! Was building a house boat yesterday and was trying to find a video of yours😭 uploaded just in time ❤️

I just bought so much from your shop! So exciting. I may have to get more. 😅😅😅

House bout at kin-SHIP. I wonder if that was on purpose 😂 love it

I’m so happy I was able to get the Sensitive hoodie!! I’ve wanted this!!!! Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy 🐸🐸🐸💕💕💕

yess i love sims 3 content

Cute merch!!!! 😍

Just placed an order im so excited!!!

Heyyyy, love ur videos sooo much.❤

im playing a save in island paradise rn and it works perfectly if u use nraas mods and delete a few of the households, remove the steering wheels from the house boats ur not using and use nraas mc to totally annihilate the scott family bc theyre broken. the town just has a lot of routing issues but its fixable. Also use the cheat to discover all islands bc it causes massive lag to have the fog over the islands.

wow how are we already close to 2 mil subs!! yayyy! welcome lilnewbies

Wow, its really goood❤❤ you are amazing simsie! How are the sewer cats?😊

I really like this house😍. What about building a restaurant boat? I reckon it would be interesting

the living room rug... magnificent

All those sims swimming, boats moving, the open world…. Lol great in theory, but a single sim stuck in a routing area genuinely on the other side of that world could lag it all. There was a cheat you could do that would reset *every single sim* at the same time. I used it often. 😂

love your shirt!!!

Galley kitchen makes complete sense on a house boat!😊😊

idk why but i was expecting like a british longboat or canal boat. Love it tho

Houseboats are overwhelmingly eclectic and fun IRL. They grew out of a need to live where it was too expensive to buy land, at least here in the US. (I'm aware it's different in Europe). Yachts, play things for the stupidly rich, tend to be extremely white and sanitized because the people who own them are NOT the people maintaining them. That's what the staff are for. Cash Jordan actually did a really awesome houseboat tour of one located in Brooklyn, I believe. And there are TONS of YT channels that feature houseboat tours, house boat builders, the list goes on. This is not a house boat. This is trying to be a yacht.

Houseboats are pretty to look at but much like I assume 99.9% of people who played the SIms 3, all I ever 'played' with in this world was that water moving along while literally everything else was frozen completely. Fun times.

Love this ! That’s a great idea for a mod’

OMG OMG this gave me war flashbacks to the time when we couldn't alt place doors and windows!!! Do y'all remember? It wasn't even that long ago! I remember lil simsie *begging* for that in all her videos!!!!!

This is amazing timing cause I just finished watching the One Piece Live Action and was thinking about how I want to play with sims that live on the water!

I love this 🤩

Houseboats were my favourite thing about Sims 3....I honestly just used to put up with the lag because it was so darn fun

I love this build!! I have an idea😅, what about: a tiny house boat? Like a challenge😮❤. Edit: Waking up and wathing lilsimsie is the best way to wake up. I've started putting this on the tv at my gf house and she's secretly invested in the not so berry challenge!!

I never had island paradise in sims 3 this looks awesome though imagine being able to make a boat in sims 4:)

i think those tiny windows are well suited to a houseboat!

it would actually make sense to have a trash shoot since in a houseboat, you would be responsible for taking your trash to the dump so you would likely store the trash in the bilge or bowels of the ship until you were ready to carry it off.

they have something called museum wax and it basically holds things to a surface that might get knocked over. let’s pretend everything is held down with it 😂

Ahww didn't know about the hoodies, saw this video too late I guess😅 But on a positive note, love your content!

I want to challenge you to build more levels on the shipwrecked boat house. I was doing a collection play and built an inaccessible basement museum for sorting collections.

I miss house boats, they were fun.

Does anyone remember the house boat episode of Its Always Sunny where it gets set on fire? Her placing the candle down and wondering if its safe reminded me of that lol

I love it. I like Sulani but not necessarily the houses because of the bamboo type decor. I'd rather have regular decor. I will download this and the cruise ship when you're done. How is Snap doing?
