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

the blue suburban and the cowplant being named after you is not a bad legacy to leave behind.

Don't sell yourself short! You ARE a kind of artist! Building such cool stuff is a skill and very creative.

First the cowplant, now the blue suburban, Simsie is really leaving her mark on the game and I love that for her

Kayla, when we get the pack PLEASE do a renovation of the rec center!! Show us what you would do if you weren’t limited!

Ngl she’s the person to get me back into sims and I forever love her for that

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.

Now I really wanna see Kayla renovate these lots without any restrictions, pack or otherwise. That would be so fun

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

I love it so much that The Sims team is inviting simmers to work with them. Good job!

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

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.

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

YES!!!! Finally. News on this! Can’t wait to see what she built!

I love seeing the behind the scenes for builds and other pack content

All those years of blue suburbans was actually Simsie training for this day.

AN UPRIGHT PIANO!!! That is the one thing I have been wishing for them to add for YEARS! I literally just screamed when I saw it. 👏👏👏

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!

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?

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.

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!!

okay but i actually can't wait to see her 'renovate' these once she /can/ use moveobjects and alt placing and such, this is so cool

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 ♥

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 can’t wait for the Infant and the Growing together pack release. It’s going to be amazing!! 😊

I love the starter home, it really feels like your sims are moving in with the things they could afford at the time.

oh my god seeing that changing table is making me foam at the mouth i’m so excited

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.

Simsie, you ARE an artist. Your medium just happens to be The Sims ❤

this feels like such a full circle moment for simsies suburbans to shine

I love it how Kayla can talk to herself like a time traveler

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!

I’m more excited for this new pack and update than I have been for Christmas in past years lol

So glad to hear that the sims team pays simmers to build for them! As they should! So excited to see your build on the game

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!

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!

YAYYY!! so excited for the early access videos to finally start!!

IM ACTUALLY SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR SO PROUD OF YOU SIMSIE!!!!!!!

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.

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!!

OMG i cant even tell you how excited i am for this pack! And how happy i am for Simsie building this!

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! 🥲❤️

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'm surprised EA didn't make you downsize the blue suburban. You could have easily combined rooms and made other living spaces smaller to afford more actual pack items. It's a good build, just kind of has a weird vibe because the base game furniture is so clunky and dated, but then there's random pops of the new pack items, but not enough to where you feel like you're living in the new world they've made.

So proud of you Simsie!! The blue suburban is finally canon!! ❤

Please do a renovation of this house when it comes out. I would love to see how it would look if you had unlimited simolons 🥰🥰

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!!! ❤️💓

I actually built my own house (Craftsman style) for my legacy, but I love that we have a starter home with so many rooms squeezed in. Bravo!

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!

Girl, I'm emotional af for you. What a dream come true, to be able to be memorialized in your favorite game, through building 😭💕

25:23 Probably a coincidence, but the fact that she put a Bluebell like her last legacy heir is so cute.

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.

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.

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.

AHHH! I'm so proud of you simsie , I know this is a pack youve been wanting for a LONG time so I'm really glad you got to work on this!

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”.

you should do an "update" video of how you would style this house without the price restriction. like the family has been living there for a while and come into money and gets to upgrade the bed or buy more toys etc. I'm definitely going to be playing with this house once the pack comes out and cant wait to update it with more of the new items (the treehouse!!)

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.

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 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 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 hear you saying that you’re not an artist but this is 1000% an art. Incredible.

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

kayla putting a pride flag in the rec center made me so happy omg i love her so much ♡♡♡

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 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

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 love your transparency on the money topics and the whole process of working!

So funny, the first thing I said when I saw we had new signs, was oh hell yeah new signs. So thanks for that. You’re cool, this sounds like an opportunity of a lifetime. Happy for you ♥️

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.

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 ❤

Thank you for putting up the pride flag in the community lot ♥️ it means more than you can imagine

Congrats Kayla! What an awesome opportunity and experience.

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 ☺️

I am so glad you can do this for a living. Congrats on the build it looks amazing.

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. 🎉

So excited that when I finally get the pack I have an affordable home I can move the family I created for the infant update into. I even have room for them to have another kid!

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 💖

Kayla was DEFINITELY the right person for the job oh my god😭

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 !!

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.

LET'S GOOOO! We're all so excited for the Growing Together pack, especially with you as one of their builders.

Woah woah woah! They've _finally_ added an upright piano??!! That's the true highlight of this pack.

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 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 am so proud that you were given this opportunity 🥺❤️ all your builds look amazing !

The rec center is incredible! Im so excited for the pack. Congrats!! you did amazing!

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!!!

LOVE the rec center build but i wish the sims team ask for a pool! all the rec centers around me all have a pool!!! that would have been awesome.

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 😭😭

Just wanted to say that these lots are fantastic. You worked so hard on these, and I hope you're so proud of yourself!

I love how much your joy at getting to build something others can enjoy really comes through. It make me happy to see you so happy. Just a big ol' circle of increasing happiness for everyone all around. I can't wait to play in your builds when the game comes out!

Made builds for the pack, pretends to be excited and gasps at every video or clip of it like, THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION

How they haven't just straight up hired you as a level designer at this point is beyond me, that's awesome!

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!

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!!!

I can't wait to see Simsie remix this with all her building tricks and pack items. It's going to be epic.

I am super excited to play in your rec center! It looks so great. :)

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 💗
