EA needs to take into account the amount of hype this kit got and make a medieval inspired expansion pack or something

Maybe it’s a lot to ask, but I’d like to see Kayla build this again with packs. The Vampire pack and Get Famous have some amazing items to truly bring this building to life.

“it’s like blue, that’s not really what i want” - lilsimsie for the first time in her life

You know what would look really cool? A remake of the Realm of Magic school using this kit.

I really wish builds like this you would use all packs and just have fun instead of holding yourself back! But I love how this turned out

It makes me think of a historical castle that has been remodeled as a museum/destination wedding venue/air b&b. You stay there, wedding party to either side on that 2nd floor, maybe family. Then after the wedding you sleep in the fancy top bedroom!

EA should do an update to just make one railing on the stairs. It would solve my life lmao

Please make a video where Stanley wishes for children and romance from the wishing well

You should do this again but use all the packs you want to. I am really loving these castle builds and would love to see more

Edited: I love Simsie's videos, and this was a ton of fun to watch. The following is my frustration with EA and the Sims team, not Lilsimsie. Its incredible to me that even after all these years, the Sims team STILL hasn't fixed the stairs clipping. Why can't we choose to only add railing to one side of the stairs? Why is it no smart enough to change railings to be just wall handles when stairs are touching a wall? And the friezes still being buggy? I don't want 10 new expansions, packs, and kits every year, I want the game to function. Currently, to own all Sims 4 expansions (without sales/bundling), packs, and kits, it takes ~$1000. One thousand dollars y'all. And we still have this buggy mess. I'm about ready to give up, its just a money suck. Sims is the fast fashion of the gaming world. All fast churn and FOMO marketing tactics to get you to spend more money on things that should have been included from the beginning.

THE CUTE SHIRT IS BACK! (simsie has a lot of cute shirts but I just love this one in particular)

I would love to see the same video again but with all the packs I feel like if you are going to buy a kit chances are you already have some expansion game packes etc too not just the base game. I loved the idea of a castle wedding venue but I am so bored of using the same base game super fancy furnitures all the time.

I'd love to see you renovate this with packs this time!

ooh, okay but this challenge seems actually fun!! 'cause like Kayla said, most ppl don't know how to make an actual castle that looks good (at least I can't)- so it's rly smart to do with furnishing that said, however, it's kinda dodgy since the kit doesn't come with furniture; idk, I think they shot themselves in the foot a little bit

See how popular this kit is? Means we want some more medieval/fantasy/ancient stuff… hmm sounds like a good opportunity for FAIRIES am I right??

i felt overwhelmed by this building too so i after i added it to my game, i quickly abandoned it. maybe it would be a cool community center? or make apartments out of it... okay now i have too many ideas.

You mentioned the tip for adding wall trim to 1 wall at a time by pressing shift while you click. But did you know the same works when removing it so you wouldn't have to go back and put it back on the exterior walls. Just press shift while removing the trim.

U should do what you were saying in the other video where you use a rlly big lot and make a little castle on it and a bunch of little village houses it would be so cute and we aren't bored of the castle builds

I can't help but think that a return to spiral staircases would have been a great addition to this pack!

I think it'd be really cool to use this kit to build an old castle that is now a museum / event space, like the bedrooms were kept how they would have been when the castle was originally built, but there's modern kitchens because it's used for parties, i think that's a good way to meld the modern and the historical and still have it make sense (and you could put little velvet ropes in front of doors like museums do)

I downloaded this lot too. I don't have the Castle Kit, but found I could still keep it pretty castle-y with some of the Jungle Adventure exterior details and Jungle Adventure + base game furniture. And then I used the free Romantic Garden items to add detail to the gardens.

This kit was such a missed opportunity for like ballroom spaces or extravagant ballroom dances at your castle or lavish masquerade parties...that would've been amazing :(

i feel like the castle kit would be good for another 3 versions build project. like maybe it's a smaller size castle and the first version is medieval/ traditional, second version is abandoned (possibly inhabited by mystical creatures?) and third version is someone renovated an old castle to make it a house in modern day

It would be really fun to see a KZfaq shell challenge again! Maybe around Valentine’s Day? And this build turned out so interesting!

@lilsimsie I want you to redo this WITHOUT limiting packs, omg! THIS WAS PAINFUL. :D

i didn’t get the hype of this pack in the beginning but now i absolutely love it. it reminds me of my favourite shows merlin and reign. i’d love to see a medieval expansion pack with actual king and queen and servants! too bad i don’t think we’re getting it like ever

I like when you use multiple packs. Stop limiting yourself Kayla 😂😂

I'm EATING UP all the castle kit videos that are on youtube DON'T STOP

I think it would be so phenomenal if you started going crazy with bathrooms for 2024, I think the stinky bathrooms you did were so fun, but even just getting out of the all white bathroom and just putting random decor in there so they’re not so cookie cutter would be such a great way to channel some of the simsie chaos in a fun way!

i think it would be cool if you built a house or some other type of lot backwards (for example.. furniture first and walls last) but with a twist that you can’t move anything after you placed walls

Ok, but now I really wanna know what this same build would look like if you used all the packs you wanted compared to just the base game 😳

I would love to see you repeat this but go wild with all the packs.

Kayla, idk if you know this but you can change the lighting without a sim inside the lot. Hold shift while clicking on an already placed light and the lighting color wheel should pop up

I always love seeing the shell challenges and results! Also, the cupcake machine weirdly fits the medieval castle vibes.

Your shell challenges are my favorite - both your speed builds and the review you do of the ones others build. I’m always down for more shell challenges!!!

Need to go back to this and redo it using other packs

Medieval expansion pack… Imagine if you had to go back in time to get there… things start to glitch in your world … houses start to disappear or go fuzzy… and then you get through by going through a rabbit hole and there’s a whole quest you need to fix or solve… to become king or queen and overthrow the ruler?? Plague as the new death…

Have you thought about doing a categories challenge where you build a house based off of the category images? Like a house that looks like the house for the housing category image, a kitchen that looks like the kitchen category image etc. I think you'd do really good with it and it would be fun.

I LOVE you showing the shell challenges that people do with your shells I miss them. I also really wish you wouldn't have pack restricted this. I'm over base game only builds with one other pack.

I wish she used packs in this build

I really like watching your shell challenges, Kayla! Both your voiceover recordings and your community spotlight ones. If you have fun making them, I'd love to see more of them.

I’m so glad this is not a speed build, I LOVE watching real time builds

I have Covid so thank you for the longer videos

Please build another neighbourhood, except each house is only one pack and the base game. Spinning a wheel for each one. For example a modern lux tiny house, island living beach hut and growing together suburban all on one street :)

Unrelated to this video - will you please please play Sims Castaway?? It's a spin off like Sims Medieval, which I know you've played. Please play it, it's so great!

I've been working on this and my only theme is to pick everything with a reference to Princess Cordelia, her pirate boyfriends, the Eppsilon, Bob the Butler, or the Great Sloth Invasion. It's overwhelming and I’m so jealous of how quickly you got the floorplan done. Your floorplan is exactly what I wanted but didn't achieve.

It's not a lilsimsie video if she doesn't say something twice and I love it. So iconic! You're great, Kayla!!

It is never too much of the castle building videos !

I love this event venue and the idea is incredible! Imagine getting married here 😍 And Okay here me out - a castle converted into apartments! I may do this later

I really wish there were more builds that were JUST exteriors, so I could completely go inside and mess with furniture and layout and everything. Yeah I can gut an unfurnished house, but it's a lot more steps and I tend to accidentally delete things :(

To fix the clipping, just delete the stairs and then hit undo! Fixes it 😊

I love you. You’re cherished. I have been subscribed & watching you consistently (sometimes you’re the only channel I watch for weeks) since before your 10,000 noodles video. Thank you for everything you do without even knowing. You make me laugh when I need it, and I can’t lie I fall asleep to your videos frequently *in a good way*. Anyways, sorry to be corny. I love you. ❤

Kayla saying she doesn’t like red BROKE my heart😭

Someone should do this in the style of a National Trust property - have some old style rooms with little roped off sections, and then have a gift shop and a cafe with an obnoxious modern kitchen 😂

Kayla, i don’t care if you do 100 castle builds in a row. I need it.

I love the shell challenge tours

You can kind of play in this lot as a “medieval” save, with the For Rent pack, making the royal family the landlord and the servants were the tenants ?

Why does the gallery say the build was shared May 5th, 2014???

"It's the private bed chambers for the queen. That's what I've decided." ~10 seconds later...~ "so this big giant room is the bedroom for the king."

this build literally makes me want this pack so bad.. i didn't vote for the castle tbh since i didn't think it'd translate well in the sims since we have SO MUCH modern stuff in the bg, but it works so well. this build was so beautiful!!

I watch speed builds to relax

Marie Antoinette: let them eat cake Queen Simsie: let them clip

lol EA taking notes from sim-ers

I love the livestreams and hearing about all ur storys, highlight of my week

Some of my favourite videos were the shell challenge submission walk throughs. So yeah I'm all for your shell challenge posts!

OK. HEAR ME OUT. WHAT. IF. You were to make the most historically accurate castle possible?? Like, servant’s quarters hidden next to the royalty quarters, and servant’s staircases and a throne room such… like Downton Abbey vibes, or BBC’s Merlin show, you know? Then you could like, rent out the servants’ quarters and then play as the servants and the royalty separately… I don’t know. Good idea? Maybe. Would it actually work? No idea 🤔

keep going with the castle builds, I'm loving it!!

I immediately want to go and open up a large space in the centre of the levels, add a pool and create a "hanging gardens" type castle omg I absolutely would love to see Kayla do this challenge again with the addition of packs because this turned out great but there are so many awesome things in packs that BG lacks!

There are never too many videos for any concept KAYLA !!!!!!!! Love your videos and love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Seeing all this castle content reminds me of the Isla Paradiso Castle from the Sims 3! Lowkey wanna recreate it in the Sims 4 now hehe

Kayla, are Windows users able to shift-click lights in build mode to change light colors/intensity without moving in a Sim? I'm on Mac, but it's made it so streamlined to adjust the lighting and atmosphere

her husband's really leaning into the doubled lines in this video, i've heard at least three so far and i'm ¾ths through 😭

Petition for this to be Nina and Vlad's wedding venue when she divorces Yuki.

i feel like if the sims allowed walls to have different thickness options, that would fix so much. and it could even have some fun gameplay situations! like having thin walls can let sims hear certain things while thicker ones prevent it, thicker walls hide clipping stair rails, etc.

Kayla suddenly changing the whole theme to wedding venue halfway through really made my horrible decisiveness and impulse control feel seen

yes we do want shell challenges back on youtube!!

I know you want to make the builds more accessible for download, but I feel like it would be more enjoyable to see you build without pack limitations. The builds then live up to their potential and you don't have to struggle with only one pack and base game or something like that. I loved the build!!

The 4th floor bathroom should have had a huge stone couples sized shower. It wouldve taken up the space much better!

i know the bar makes sense but the grand piano in that weird banquet hall corner would’ve been so perfect😭😭

i think i know why simsie is obsessed with the castle kit, she has a history degree! 😂☺️

I like shell challenges like this! It’s more realistic to what a renovation would be like. I do think stairs should have been put in to make it more realistic. In a real renovation/remodel you’d probably have to work around the stairs.

Using short life span, the queen will become an elder by the time she arrives at her bed. 🤣

I'm glad it went to wedding venue! My friend got married in a medieval castle throne room so this is cool to see in the sims!

I actually really like these kinds of builds, too. I CAN build exteriors if I go grab reference material, but it's sometimes the longest part of a build, so... I skip that XD My castle playthrough actually used a lot I found on the gallery that was legit dead empty on the inside. It also had no landscaping, but I fixed that myself. I'm VERY slowly decorating it over time, and I adore it. I did also add a barn in the courtyard space. It was a lot easier for me.

Hi! I have loved your videos since a couple hundred thousand subs. Keep up the great work and fun energy.

Ooh, definitely post that Mt. K Family House speed build. It's so cute!!

MORE CASTLES! I would love to see some gothic and black vampire castle

I personally LOVE hallways in my builds. Makes it feel more real to me

You did a great job, especially considering the BG constraints!

This could have been a great chance to use some dividers given how big the rooms are!

I found if you want to use the motherlode cheat an easier way instead of constantly typing it in. If you close the cheat bar and reopen it to not hit a different cheat, type it once, hit the up arrow, then hit enter to save time, and only type it once.

Thanks, Kayla, for mentioning this shell challenge. I haven't paly TS4 in a while. I wasn't coming up with any ideas on gameplay.

The EA shell is totally giving Stately Home vibes in UK! And I’m loving it

I really love the tips you give when building! I’m having trouble finding the console equivalents though. On PS5, does anyone know how to “shift” click the frizes? I also think you did an amazing job with this! It’s cool that you actually know a lot about history and put that into it, like with the Kings chambers.

Shell challenges were fun to watch and who know may attempt doing one myself if I feel like doing so.

I love how Simsie immediately goes castle=medieval, as though there aren't castles actually still in use today 😂

girl I miss your absolutely unhinged shell challenges 😔✋🏼

Kayla you could make a million castle videos and my castle loving self would watch every single one

Imagine maxis channeling this castle energy to the realm of magic sanctum :-)

Maybe this is an old castle that someone has renovated. Like maybe a castle that’s been in the family for generations and they have updated it with semi-modern appliances.
