things i loved about this video: she didn't make any negative comments about her building skills she used whichever items she liked regardless of the pack or amount of packs in the build she didn't worry about the budget or making it base game (+ plant kit) only!! she tried playing with new color schemes and items she doesn't use very much ~ i'd love to see more videos like this, let yourself play the game how you want and build what makes you happy!!

The apple clock was cute. This apartment could be for a single, plant loving, teacher. 🥺

"does the apartment actually look good or does it just have a lot of plants in it" is how I feel about my actual apartment

just imagine if it affected the bills... plant kit: *released* water bills in the whole neighbourhood: *stonks*

i really appreciate how she discusses her gaming style, especially when playing the sims. it’s refreshing to see a youtuber talk about what they struggle with when playing different games.

*blooming rooms kit comes out* every simmer in existence: *”plant themed apartment.”*

“I’m literally never gonna use that item” **uses item**

Kayla: “I would do anything to change the front doors!” The TOOL mod: _allow me to introduce myself_

Simsie, with all the builds you've done over the years, your followers have PLENTY of options to choose from. You don't have to worry about making something everyone likes, or even something most of us like. Build what makes you happy! We're here because we like your style and personality, not because we want you to mold it to us

People yelling at simsie for having the door open straight into the living room. Me watching this in my living room staring at my door that opens straight into the living room 👁👁

2:27 Simsie: Dream Home Decorator has the best furniture! Also Simsie, not even 2 seconds later: *Complains about furniture.*

Kayla: Worried about an apartment not having an entrance hall. Me, who lives in an apartment: Checks to see what my front door opens up to…Kitchen/Dining/laundry. Checks to see what my back door opens up to…Living Room.

Hallways are also a bit overkill in an apartment building with a hallway already. I like the open plan living where you walk into the living room. It's only in colder countries that entry ways are built (in Europe). So that there is a transition area where you take your jacket off etc before you enter the rest of the heated house.

A plant apartment is so cute in theory but the bug infestations irl would have your neighbors absolutely hating you

"is it a nice build or does it just have a lot of plants" is the sims version of "is it a fit or are they just skinny"

oh yeah Keyla for the four poster bed you put you can add the “plant curtains” that came with the kit and have a four poster with plants hanging from it!

i know is lunch time when simsie posts!!!❤️ i got used to lunching alone as no one was ever at home because of corona, but simsie's videos made me feel less lonely. now that my family's all back together, i still play her videos at lunch time, they're starting to enjoy her videos just as much as i do lolol, i think is becoming a tradition😆

This has got to be my favorite build of yours. This is honestly the apartment of my dreams, lol. Home-y, a bit kitsch, and modern in a fun way. "Way too many packs" is irrelevant, you built something gorgeous. When I download this, I'll be swapping out the clock because the apple clock was so cute and really went well with the overall design. I get the balance of "is this too much or does it work" can be difficult but honestly, I think you can tell when something looks out of place and if you think an item looks good, own it and go with it! No shame in that! If people don't like it, they don't have to download it or they can replace it with something they think looks better.

my favorite sims building trope: putting "exposed" brick on interior walls. the best feature.

I mean... in Brazil almost every house has no separate entrance. specially apartments. that would be space, brick and cement waste.

i just realised simsie doesnt take a photo for her thumbnail every time she reuses them- my life is a lie

I feel like in apartments it’s super common in Australia to not really have an entrance hall, especially smaller ones. In Australia they usually open into the kitchen

Your wishes for things being just a bit bigger or smaller and different apartment windows make me think you’re ready to start using TOOL.

i loved the apple clock!! the appartment ended up looking super cute, it’s definitely not too much

Lilsimsie! You should do a dark academia inspired cottage and use the new plant pack! It would look so cool!

I love that you are focusing more on analyzing your own work in a constructive way rather than just saying that you are "such a bad builder", even though you very much are not. You clearly are making efforts to try to step out of your comfort zone and push what you are capable of creating, and that's always exciting to see! I think what you are trying to say around 9:30 is that you tend to focus too much on the theme you are going for and it causes the execution to feel underwhelming. As a game design student I know that this is the kind of stuff that formal art education helps you learn. You may want to check out some videos on basic design concepts (I would reccomend color theory, composition, and contrast to start) to help improve your knowledge of design theory. I think you know a lot of these things passively, from building so much and just having a baseline gut feeling of "this looks good" but learning design theory helps you communicate _why_ something looks good. As per the build: I think you definitely executed on your idea well and it doesn't feel like you went too hard on the theme. I think My favorite part of the build was the kitchen, those yellow cabinet *do* look really nice and I think the yellow does a good job of pairing with the greenery without it feeling too matchy-matchy. The exposed brick also did a good job of contrasting with the plants due to the redish tones.

The fact that the Sim could get into that bedroom with the amount of plants in the way is very surprising. That Sim needs to teach my Sims how to do that, too lol

I love how she always builds this apartment with the exact same floorplan. It's hilarious.

The apple clock in white actually looked cool it made the desk have a natural/ scandi vibe also we like your quirky style. The best designs in fashion/interior ect are the ones that have the balls to think outside of the box.

"am i gonna turn this bedroom into a proper greenhouse?" *dan's british-ness is rubbing off on kayla*

I love how she calls us “besties”

I love that you are always striving to push yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s refreshing to see. You’re self critical but in a positive way. I really like the kitchen and the office area.

I swear The Sims 5 better have matching wood swatches. They need to make a light wood, neutral/almost grey wood, a dark brown wood and a black wood and then just use those swatches on everything.

please kayla we love to watch you have fun, not every build has to be for us to download, use the packs, budget, CC you want, use it all HAVE FUN WE LOVE YOU

I love to see you branching out, kayak. as to the plants, I match the colours first, I don't mix the cool-toned jungle plants with the warmer ones. in one room at least. oh by the way, my flat's front door is sort of like this one's, it swings to face the wall. like, WHY?! ugh.

I really like the vibe in that apartment, the yellow, blue, red primary color thing was cool. The only thing I might change would be making all the exterior-facing walls brick, and then _not_ using brick for the interior walls. My other question is...how is that plant in the bathroom getting any light to grow?? Poor thing.

Ok now I'm early 😳 Can't get enough of Simsie's content 😌🤷🏼‍♀️

That's the vibe, plants. The source of nature.

"the house is furnished so now we pretty much just put plants everywhere" literally my life right now

Kayla, don’t be so scared that we won’t like it! Choose what *you* like, and 99% of us will love it too. Don’t limit yourself so much!

That kitchen is so 60s/70s looking with the tile and yellow cabinet combo, and I LOVE IT

eco lifestyle and dream decorator go so good together 😭 i’m not a builder but when i furnish houses i use those packs the most. oh and tiny living!

The fact that the sims name is Gilbert and then Kayla plants carrots makes my little Anne of Green Gables/ Anne With An E heart very happy.

I think the apartment looks great! I love the primary colours in combination with the brick and the plants. I think a big struggle in your builds is that you often use the same items. I get that especially a base game budget build is limited, but there's more items even in the base game that you could use. Also in landscaping, you often choose the same items, and make all the flowers the same colour. I'm also sure there's loads of people who like more toned down palets and minimalistic builds though, so don't feel pressured to change your style :)

I feel the bathroom layout is really weird. You have to walk THROUGH the kitchen (around the kitchen island) to get in it. I think I would have put the bathroom in that corner where the plant box is. Maybe it would have created a more open space because the kitchen isn't hidden behind the bathroom. idk...

This is so cute. The aesthetic of newer packs all work so well together and are so CUTE

I love this apartment, it looks so cozy and i think you did an amazing job building this!

I love Kayla and her builds, and this one is very cute and cozy. But is anyone else bugged out by the way the small apartaments have a dining table *and* a kitchen island with chairs? I mean, I've seen tons of real apartments that use only a kitchen island, so when you struggle to squeeze everything you need in a small apartment, this is one of the most obvious things to do, right?

I saw the thumbnail and got so excited bc I really want a kitchen with yellow cabinets irl!

Such a cute apartment. I would love to live there!

Imagine the bed and being able to put plants on the metal thingie XD like i would love that

I have been binge watching sims 4 builds literally all day🥲

Omg I loved this video so much!! It's so much fun to see you enjoy the building and it's makes me want to open up the game right now (I'm going to play as soon as I get home). Xx

I feel like your buildings are getting brighter and honestly i just love that

this is my favorite build so far. I love all the plants, also the apple clock was adorable

i realise that you never do apartments in which the bedroom and the living space/kitchen aren't seperated by a wall, i think it's called a loft right? you should try :) i would have done that in this case. love your video btw :D

I love watching the builds you do when you have no limit (no money limit, no pack limit). Although I do love all your videos to the point I have started watching the legacy videos from the beginning AGAIN but I like seeing your style with no restrictions!

I love how this apartment looks. So cute thank for sharing 👏💖

i think an apartment build matching the door you hate would be very cool

I love how you decorate your builds!

I love it 😍 I like shifting actual plants/veggies etc up into the nifty knitting hanging pant baskets. The plants are still functional but you don’t need to have planter boxes on the floor, so it’s prettier and space saving 🤌🏻

I was wondering if you could do a little bit of a basic building tutorial? Like show the cheats and stuff that you use most when you’re in build mode, how you do the foundation etc? I’m quite new to building in the Sims, but I’m eager to learn😬

super cute! I love the plant kit honestly!

Kayla: „I would be able to do anything to change the front doors” Sims team: „ stop comparing our creations to custom content!”

i think this is my favorite build from you yet and now im gonna buy the new plant kit just to download this apartment

Yesss amazing! I hope I'm not the only one who loves non-speed builds, I love seeing the house/apartment or so be put together in front of my eyes, do you know what I mean? :)

I am not a huge plant person, but this is so cute I kinda wanna move in immediately. Also, while I don't mind that the apartment doesn't have a hallway, I am used to everything having one, small apartments included. Opening straight into the living room or kitchen just isn't something you normally do here and it's not because those rooms are "private", it's because we have seasons and there is no way we want to leave our winter coats or soggy boots and everything that comes with it in the living room/kitchen or drag them through the house to a mudroom. I see those a lot on housing shows and that is literally what most of the hallways here in Norway looks like.

I think this build is super cute! I love all the plants and the exposed brick was a fantastic choice. I wish the color scheme was a little tighter and no yellow, but that's my preference. Tbh I think butter yellow is uggy, but I get that other people like it. Overall it is very cute and there are lots of good ideas here. Honestly, I think I'll buy the plant kit cause this is adorable and I agree there are NOT enough plants in the game

And now this video kind of remind me almost all my buildings. Some of us have a thing for blue suburban home but that's my kind of stuff ! Thanks for this video ^^

If you size down that geometric plant shelf, it’s a lot more usable!! I actually use it in a lot of my builds

Thanks for cheering me up! your videos always brighten my day!!

This apartment is GORGEOUS, simsie! Keep following your own creativity. The results are beautiful.

I always make that one into a studio apartment and use one of the dividers to cover the bed instead of walls

It's so cute 😻 I can't get over the bathroom door in the middle of the kitchen though

I would really like you to do a build where you don't build a living room around a TV 😂 there are so many ways the sims can have fun!

The most important thing is that YOU like it because we all in the audience like different things and you can never please all of us at once. But we are watching you for YOUR style, these videos wouldn't be your videos if you weren't making your choises.

I wish the apple clock came in different fruits.. a strawberry clock would just be the cutest! 🍓🤍

I love to use murphybeds in this apartment and just seperate a bathroom. I think that makes the whole thing a lot more playable ^^

Omg I absolutely love this build

Mine and my fiancé's apartment opens up into a hallway because of where it sits in the building so we've got an entryway into a small apartment. I guess it's more on how the apartment is situated rather than size. Then again, we live in a refurbished school that definitely defies all modern-day school requirements.

I use the home decorator furniture in ALL my builds now, love it SO much! I only do sectionals in my living rooms now, it's the only way you can make matching furniture! I won't use anything else, except for bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen.

I think this is my favorite apartment you’ve ever made! Super cute and super cozy :D

So cute! I love the eclectic look

I love this so much. Honestly I'd live in that apartment

An idea for you - do an octagon house. You can only build the shell of the house by placing the dafault octagon rooms. You can delete inside walls and make your own floorplan, but if you want to add space it must by by adding octagon. I'd do it myslef, but unfortunately don't have the game. Good luck if you decide to do it.

i love these kinds of videos

The apartment looked so cute, I would actually use this for my sims🥺❤️

your cheerfulness makes my whole day. QUEEN.

*PLEASE* make the fixer-upper videos again, I really like it I forgot lol, I made one of the fixer-uppers as like a house of a person that just does not go out, so it has heaps of hidden things and stuff, I named it the Simsie Manor, it is entirely base game

This apartment is so cute!

wait I'm in love with this 😍 I can't take care of anything irl so here's me living my best dream in the sims

When I here the intro. exposed brick, plants big, windows that’s my dream house

I have never been in an apartment that doesnt open to a lil hallway first but I have never noticed the trend in simsies builds. I just figured it was a style choice

this is such a good video and SUCH A GOOD APARTMENT

you could make a bedroom with no windows just some LED lights and cozy dark vibes and maybe brick walls? and then you could make the living room with big windows that would be so cool

The way we switched into plant mode at 5:00 was so good

I think you could do a random wheel challenge about plants, Like put the plants in a random wheel and spin it and you must base the room around that plant and the vibe from it

Thank you, it looks very nice. And by the way: Here in Germany we ALLWAYS have an entrance hallway. Even the tiniest appartments! From all my lifetime I remember only one german small appartment without hallway. Might be a german thing...

this apartment is actually so cute omg !!! the color scheme just really speaks to me
