I don't know why, but I always look forward to the part of the video where Kayla repeats herself. I'm sure it's an editing goof, but it happens in every video 😆

Hopefully the sims team makes it possible for multi purpose lots to happen because they already have the tools in the pack they are about to release it would be nice for us to be able to zone rooms in the lot for the public and for personal use just like you can zone the different apartments for each tenant in the same lot

Kayla just come here and made the fanfiction jobs places in one lot

as far as garage doors go, i think a garage band stuff pack (since apparently theyre back now) would be awesome for that! it could come with a drum kit and maybe some band mechanics that work a bit like the karaoke machines

I want cars just like in the sims 2 more like decorations than fonctional but you can woohoo in it, repair one, teach your child to drive and have a garage. It's totally fine if the cars just desapear with your sims when you use it to go somewhere, it's still more realistic than your sims walking to an other city!

Although there is no multipurpose lots (at least that I’m aware of), LittleMsSam has a mod that kinda has the same functionality. The mod Auto Employees adds a custom trait you can apply to lots to auto spawn employees for specific lot-type tied objects. So with this mod you can classify your build as a library, add this trait to the lot and it will spawn an employee to run the espresso bar and the other retail

12:08 regarding cars, I’ve been thinking it would be a good compromise to get motorcycles instead because I agree that the infrastructure in the sims worlds doesn’t make sense for cars. This way, we could get functional garage stuff (the things I would do to make an actual garage with a garage door and tool boxes and Jerry cans and oil stains and work benches and peg boards of tools and a table saw and those wonderful garage things would make your grandma faint lol) that make sense with the existing game. And I think being able to fix up a used motorcycle would be so cool!! And maybe more gameplay would be having to get the motorcycle license before being able to teach a teen or someone else. I have so many ideas about this tbh. But yeah, MOTORCYCLES.

I love the idea that the cat is just around all of the buildings. Like, a store cat. A friend has a cat that wanders between the neighbors' homes sometimes, but they all know who she actually belongs to and I think make sure she gets home. Feels kind of accurate for this type of side-by-side build.

Hey Kayla nice build! I’ve got a video idea for you, why don’t you Build town houses inspired by base game townie homes (goth, landgrabb, pancakes) all side by side *edited to shut a few people up in the comment section* 😂

Once For Rent comes out, we're one step closer to multi-purpose lots!

Im so excited for the new pack, see me in a week or two spending 20 hours on the sims 💀💀

I absolutely ADORE this build!! Totally nailed the vibes- definitely one of my favorite builds! For some reason I imagine all the owners to be best friends and hang out in eachother’s stores and stuff-

Would love to see you do this with the Recriation Center lot type, meaning having it looking like it looks like different shops and it would function!

I think my final Sims 4 dream would be multi use lots like this where you could have it be multiple stores or multi store plus multi apartment above. I feel like that's one of the last plausible major updates. Being able to have multiple lot types on the same lot would be amazing and I feel like we finally have all of the building blocks for it

Here’s an idea of how to make cars happen in ts4: Make cars rabbit holes (sim will get in car and drive for a short length before both disappear; can program it to work on specific lots) You can’t actually travel with your sim, but your sim can go to work, go to skill classes, or go to new special activities (the movies, a friend’s house, etc) Then, allow sims to park their car in their home lot. Have it be tied to an item, like a parking space; you can even give it swatches so it can have a paint outline, a chalk drawing, be invisible, etc. Finally, add two new skills: driving and car repair. Sims can practice driving by going to a driving class, reading a book, getting driving practice from an adult (rabbit hole). You can even have a sim practice parking/parallel parking! For car repair, your sim can take a skill class, read a book, watch a tutorial, or fix up a junker. This can also come with a new mechanic career!

The resedent cat reminds me of that one time i was at a second-hand book store with my dog, i was very suprised they even allowed him in, but within seconds all the workers were and giving him pets. I love the idea of the book store being more of a libarery where you can buy second-hand books, but you can also just hang out there and read a book with the store owner's cat in your lap, it sound like a place i would hang out at a lot when i was younger

The cafe house is SO BEAUTIFUL. I don't recognize those blue details, you might as well have created them specifically for this build haha. But seriously it looks lovely and so realistic, it really feels like a British ground floor shop below apartments

there is a mod that you can live in a business, so I wonder if one day sm will be able to make multiple-purpose-like lots 🤔

I LOOOOVE the flower shop!!! It's so beautiful 😍 The entire middle building is just perfection 🥰

Thinking about cars in the sims… I think a possible way for them to add them would be almost a car racing expansion pack - so racecars and even normal/vintage cars for your sims to race around a track. There could also be something like you mentioned fixing broken cars and garage doors obviously, but I agree they probably wouldn’t add them for roads

I spent a couple days on my shell! I’m so proud of it, I often get stumped on building the outside of my building but this really helped me. I did a warehouse conversion that’s occulty…

i really like an idea of making this building as townhouse after the new update with stores as a public places, because sims can use them as a skill building areas (flower table for example) and library for reading books. i definately will try this after update!!

i LOVE the flower store! it’s so realistic with the seeds and all 🫶🏻

Do you think it might be possible for these speed builds that run a little long to be split into two videos so we could still see the rest of the furnishing? I totally get it if not, though!

Ok hear me out.... they could be residential and you can have a type of shop or store if you use the lower levels and the hch kit you can sell pizza waffles etc. With the outdoor adventure pack I think they have that sellers table where you can sell other stuff....idk I think that could work.

Flower Store apartment is the best. Just that the door in the skinny hallway is a literal killer. It opens up towards the stairs. Imagine walking up that stairway, someone opens the door, you get spooked and take a step back, bam, now you ded xD

ahh these are so cool! honestly the bookshop/apartment setup is my (unachievable, unfortunately) dream! especially with the kitty furniture omg

i’ve never been early on a simsie upload I’m honored

BUILD-CHALLENGE IDEA: you can only use ONE item from each pack, kit so on. You can repeat that item (example: placing four of the same chair) but you can’t use two different chairs from the same pack or one bed and one counter from same pack

22:45 so, I’m uniquely qualified to talk about this. I was a foster kid& my foster parents owned a bookstore (with a cafe across the st😂) and we had a bookstore cat! His name was mango. We didn’t live above the store (it wasn’t liveable…) but mango did live IN the store. So, yes, it is normal to have the litter box in the bathroom everyone uses. We only had 1 bathroom& it was never messed with. I spent my afternoons laying in between shelves reading or in the front window reading… honestly, I’d give anything for someone to shake me awake and I find that I had fallen asleep reading between the shelves and it was time to go home. Well, that got a little dark.

I’m so pleased we can do townhouses now!! Now if there was just a feature to be able to make live-in stores and cafes all my sims building dreams would come true!

The color scheme of the cafe has had my heart since you built it on stream. Not sure which of the apartments is my favorite though.

i know this build was a while ago, and this isnt a necessary comment, but i thought up little lives for the sims who live here! - in the bookstore, i was thinking that it's a young guy living alone, he got the store from his dad, he still has the family cat, and although his gf stays over, she doesnt live with him - for the florist, i think its a super cute, pastel girl who has a punk rock gf who shes teaching to arrange flowers. again, they dont live together, theyre waiting for a bigger place -and lastly, for the cafe, i thought it was a husband and wife, possibly expecting, and the husband does all the coffee and customers, while the wife handles business. the desk in the bedroom is for him, to do normal people computer things on, whereas the downstairs office space is for her to do her business things with i know everyone including simsie will have their own thoughts on who lives here, but i just thought id share my idea

They could make a Stuff Pack based on cars. From what I’ve seen with every Sruff Pack, they add a few new animations but mostly reused ones, but I have a few ideas. Sims will maybe not actually drive around, but it would just be a way for you to travel to other lots, like with a phone. Would be cool if you could place cars in your inventory and place them wherever you want and have names for them, like with bikes. Also that you can turn on the lights on the car, and start the car. If two sims sit in the car they could talk to each other and it also could be a romantic spot similar to when they sit on a bench but in the backseat. The talk interactions may require first person camera mode to actually be able to click on the sims. Other interactions could be accessed by clicking on the car. Gameplay cars wouldn’t have to replace the debug cars. Would also be nice if teens could take driver’s license and also when sims go to work and other things, the car vanishes into a rabbit hole with the sim. When teens learn to drive they pay for driving lessons. Maybe after 3-5 lessons they’ll get to the driving test, and make it a rabbit hole experience instead of a skill. Pop up messages could be fun, where things could either go bad, great or neutral at random. An embarrassed moodlet for failure and confident for success. For build/buy it could be mostly garage themed but also have a few community items like a decorative gas station, signs and parking spots. Maybe an opportunity for a drive in cinema. Stuff Packs usually have a few gameplay features but not enough to make them a Game Pack, which is totally ok imo. If cars came as a kit it would be sad as kits are mostly a small set of decorative items and it would probably require cars being a half assed base game feature. I think cars as a Stuff Pack would offer just as much gameplay as any other Stuff Pack, so why not? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope they’ll take it into consideration. I think dispite negative talk, which is inevitable at this point, people would probably buy the pack anyway.

This is one of my favorite builds you've ever done! It's seriously so cute!!

Every time i think of a flower shop, I think of the one across the street from my college dorm, where the owners also rescue animals, so the shop is where their cats and many parrots live and get loved on by the college students. So to me a flower shop without cats (and birds, but we need to wait for My Second Pet Stuff for parrots, I guess) doesn't even compute. I miss Rosie, Posey, Peaches, and Cream. (And Buddy the cockatoo)

Love your videos, can’t wait for the new pack content!

The horse sign outside cafe reminds me of my fav coffee brand, Kicking Horse, so it works for me

When For Rent comes, we can transform the Plant Shop into a community garden with Fruit Trees behind and transform the Coffee Shop into a community restaurant? Maybe with a grill and the pizza oven. Beautiful

I love the fastforward saving and changing to manage worlds lmao it's so fast like you're frantically running against the clock to finish this build 16:06

You could zone this as Residential Rental to make the flats liveable, hire a Barista (100 simoleons) or use Auto Employees/Live in Café Lot Trait mods for functional Café and Ravasheen's retail mod to set things for sale in the shops, assigning ownership to the appropriate households. Assuming those mods are updated for the new lot type.

No comments as of yet. Someone say something

My idea of how cars can work in the sims 4: the car game pack or expansion pack would have to be centered around car racing. That would give a lot of gameplay with racing/repairing/upgrading cars and getting licenses, and a specific world where you can freely drive around each neighborhood; new lot types could be a car driving school (could be a rabbit hole) and a car racing track. The base game features would be that you could place down specific roads to drive around your own lot/a community lot, and these roads could be the same ones used to build car racing tracks in the pack, and be able to repair/upgrade the car there, be able to put the car in your inventory if you're going to a community lot, like a car driving school. If that was implemented, nothing would need to change in the structure of the worlds we already have, and everything would be lot-specific in base game but still add some extra features.

Your builds have been SO good recently. Obviously, I've been a fan for a while, but you've noticably improved / found your groove. I'm loving it!

You have been making a lot of cat houses recently! I wanna see you make a dog house!!

I like the bookshop best and the apartment for the cafe! I love the color scheme!! Such a cool idea!

I love those apartments! KAYLA I have a challenge for you. 280 square foot tiny home just a rectangle (no bump outs, only one level) theres a high bed with storage underneath. There needs to be a door (obviously) 5 windows, wood burning stove, tiny kitchen, tiny bathroom! Ppssst it's actually what I live in.

I absolutely love this, especially the flower shop. It brought me back to the Sims 2 when I would always build my home lot with a flower shop at the back of the property and sell arrangements. The Open for Business EP allowed a business on a residential lot. It was the best.

HERE BEFORE 30 MINUTES GANG! 👇

i feel like the cars could be like where the sims go before the loading screen. and the teaching your teen to drive would look a lot like when your sim goes to work and they just dissipate. it's just like an out of view skill builder, i guess ? idk if I'm making sense 😭😭😭 but like the car purchasing, story progression, and the functional garage door would be the main things.

The way I'm deeply sad that we can't have the speedbuild of the upper half :((

Yea, being able to run a business from your home (There are mods that let you) as a base game or even expansion feature would be so nice.

i NEEEEEED a hour long video, i always watch you to go to bed and that would be so amazing

Simsie never fails to impress me with her building abilities! This build is so good! I love the flower shop so much and the apartment above the bookstore!

How cars could work in the sims 4 could be like Sims Busting Out or even the console version of the Sims 3. Your son doesn't actually drive around. The car is placed on the road or whatever, the sims get in and boom loading screen. Then you're at the next lot.

a fun realistic building thing to try in flower shops is adding a walk in cooler with flowers ! I’m a florist and the walk in cooler is such a magical part of the store for ppl and I could see it being so pretty in game !

my afvourite is the flower shop hehe it also ahs teh nicest apartment cuz i loved the multi-use room with kictehn,dinner and living room! lovee teh idea of the library cat and the outdoor seating for teh acfe looks so cute!

kayla please a hour video would be *chefs kiss*

For sims 5 I’d like an open world where your sims would drive around like on sims 3 and an airport where you go to fly to other worlds, I don’t even need an airplane, just an airport and then a loading screen

i would have loved to see the upper buildings too. Maybe you can make 2 parts next time? :)

I miss the rabbit hole going to work cars and the school bus! Love your builds and your channel ☺️

I would like a car-centric expansion pack so much even if all of the previous worlds can't work with this feature! Imagine a Monaco-inspired world with a holiday event that's basically a race??

That building is stunning!! The flower shop is looking amazing! Love all the details 💕

about the cars thing you talked about, it got me thinking how the car fixing thing you mentioned could possibly be tied to a new skill !

I really like the cafe, the blue and the aesthetic looks amazing! But the flowershop and the bookshop look great as well.

i don't understand why you can't make each "apartment" a different type of "lot"

I'd love to see you make a retirement center once For Rent comes out. I collect urns of all the townies (organically, I let them live life) and it'd be so nice to keep track of my elders by just moving them into one big building.

i really hope multi propose lots come out so we can have stuff that happens in real life, not just only like texas where everything is huge and seperate lol!

I haven’t even finished watching yet and you went off on this build. This is so cute, I love the flower shop! All of them were so beautiful it’s hard to pick a favorite ❤❤❤

Sometimes I have anxiety early in the morning and your videos help me calm down thank you ❤

With the mod "Live in Business," by LittleMsSam, you CAN have a retail shop on a residential lot. Also, if you zone it as "retail" and have a Sim buy it, set the items "for sale" and then sell the business, the retail shop continues to re-stock.

We should've gotten multifunctional Retail lots when HSY came out. They introduced the Thrift and Boba Tea lot. They should've allowed us to have any 2 things together like a book store and Cafe.... or something like that. Esp considering you can't even separate the thrift/Boba lot. You have to have both together

i think we should just get cars that we can work on, for an automotive skill, and maybe a rabbit hole or interactive shop career. the only way you can have a car is parked on your home lot by the edge, it pulls off the lot and fades out to a rabbit hole with pop up decisions during drives, (and you can teach teens again) maybe they can add bus stops that you can click to travel at a certain time for cheap, or a taxi for more. but if you have your own car you’ll have to refill gas, or biking for free

i dunno a garage pack/kit would go crazy being mechanic themed: new skill action, new career, garage decor, and even new cas items. i mean we have cops and doctors but we don’t actually have open hospitals or criminals, the hopes for driving really should be saved for sims 5

Can’t wait for your builds with the new pack ❤ thanks for always making my day better. The flower shop and apartment are so cute 😊

seeing the finished thing i made up this little story in my head where the bookstore owner is a very grumpy black cat person and the flower shop owner is a sunshine orange cat person and the cats befriend each other and then their owners fall in love and then there’s the cafe that is owned by an old couple that root for them both and now i really want this story to happen

The stair railing glitch!!! Started happening to me recently, I feel you. (Also, this build is gorgeous)

i love Kayla's pretending era

Watching this when it’s a stream build is always such a treat cause I never get to watch the full stream!!

There was a book store a couple of doors up from where I used to work. They had three cats that would just chill out in shop all day, they had some shelves in the window and the bottom shelf was empty with some blankets and the big ginger cat would sit in the sun in the window all day. I loved that shop.

love thiss!!!!!

I agree with the car thing! Cars made sense in Sims 2 because you had to call a taxi to get a community lot, so driving your own car did save time, but with Sims 4, you've been able to walk to community lots from the base game. I guess it would look cool, but let's be real, the sims are just going to pull out of their driveway, and then have a loading screen into the lot. I can't see them taking the time to program cars that drive along the world's roads at this point in the game's lifespan.

I'm praying we get a pack at some point that can be multi purpose, i'd love to have a shop on bottom, home on top type of lot

I wish we could just right click on doors on community lots to lock them for everyone, everyone but specific sim and everyone except household. Huge game changer because that would make lots almost function like motels and hotels. Without cheats, maybe you can buy keys for specific doors on community lots to make it feel more realistic.

I really wish multi-purpose lots will come true in the future 😭 it's my most wished for feature and I will wait patiently until it happens 🤞

I work at a vet and our cat mascot has her litterbox in the vets office at the back, we clean it multiple times a day so it doesn't stink, our bathroom is clients only lol

In my experience with the cat who lives in our local comic book shop - yes, the litter box is in the one bathroom that is in the shop.

This might be one of my favourite builds of yours ever!

I love thinking about possible sims updates and one that I think could happen is being able to select a room and set it as a certain lot type (restaurant, residential, retail, etc.) It prob won’t happen but a girl can dream 😢

Watched this on stream, downloaded the lot to try for myself, and watching it again on KZfaq, because Kayla is just AWESOME!

Kayla: I will show you the apartments in depth Also Kayla: here's a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, next!

Cars could work like this in TS4: you buy it, place it on the lot, and you could do things like woohoo, listen to music, take a nap and upgrade/fix it with the handiness skill. There would be a "travel" option, and if you use it, your sim would get into the car, start it, do an animation like the car is moving foward a little, then you go into a loading screen and choose the lot. If the lot you're traveling to has a parking space, you would arrive on it inside this parking space, and get out the car. If it doesn't have a parking space, the car would go into your inventory. Imo this would be the easiest way to implement cars, and it would make most people happy. Obviously there would be people saying stuff like "oh, the cars don't even drive on the roads", but this would be better than nothing.

i totally agree with the cars thing! i would also like to teach my sims how to drive and have that habbit hole with the pop ups, and if you get it wrong you fail the test.. it would be nice

Under 30 minutes gang 👇

It would have been fun to add the club door from get together for each club. The coffee drinkers, garden gnomes and book lovers.

You could make apartments on the top as multi residential, have the bottom "stores" as communal areas and just put a coffee machine in the cafe, and maybe have the plant store as a little indoor garden or a gym or something.

The growing together pack would’ve been a great one for the new rental apartments thingie from the new pack

In my excitement for the new pack I built a HUGE mid century modern apartment building on this exact lot with three family-sized units. I was even able to include a gym and an indoor pool! I'm so excited to be able to play in it for real!

9:51 that is exactly what happened in the world in the1950's (kinda more in the U.S.) unfortunately... cuties weren't built for cars but people adjusted it for noisy polluting ineffective cars😭 Europe is doing better now by increasing walkability in most cities just wanted to say this!🥲 Beautiful build tho i absolutely LOVE the concept and the flower shop os my fav too💯😍

I just had an idea: by default all lots are flat, so cars can be certainly functional on one lot (if you don't change the terrain. So if the lot is not connected to the road,it's fine it just vanishes and you see a loading screen, as usual
