kayla giving them leather couches in the desert was an act of violence.

Don: "dislikes rocket science" Kayla: *gives him a rocket science poster*

literally all basegame townies deserve a better house

Kayla: “It’s hot, they’re in the desert. They’re gonna be glad they have that” Also Kayla: *places a fire place*

Don is def one of those guys who would have a mirror infront of his bed to see things

Kayla: "I need to shrink the house" Also Kayla *Adds a sunroom*

12:59 glad to see kayla is embracing dina and nina’s actual secret identities as cosmo and wanda

I like to think Don's room is super tiny and sad because he never uses it. He always sleeps in one of the girls rooms

Theory: Don Lothario is a player, not because he likes having a lot of sex, but because it means that when he *does* have sex, he gets to sleep in a bigger bed in a nicer room.

Don not having access to a bathroom upstairs is soooo funny lmao

to be fair, that puny room is what don lothario deserves

«So she likes orange and red. How about blue, pink and gray?» love it❤❤😂

"her favorite color is orange" *makes a pink, blue, and white room*

Recently I've been slightly renovating a save with the packs I have to use as my new default. The Caliente was next on my list because I decided the reason Johnny zest is disowned from the landgraabs is because (in addition to his comedy career) he had a tryst with Nina Caliente out of wedlock and Nina disowned the baby, so now Johnny is a single father. I've seen others use this story before so I turned his trailer house into a 2 bedroom, with decorating priority going to the baby's room 🥺 I didn't do much with the Caliente house except for hiding the bassinet behind a divider in Nina's room

I feel like if EA put a table half under a pergola like that we would make fun of them...

I always struggle to get side windows right, then I look at all the houses around me in real life and the windows only look "right" on the front of the house, the rest of the house prioritizes how it looks inside. I've tried using that philosophy in my Sims builds now too, front of the house windows will be immaculate, everywhere else prioritized to look nice from inside.

The room they gave don is bad enough to make you almost feel sorry for him and this is coming from someone who orchestrated a giant slap conga to happen to him at his almost wedding in sims 2

I’m very perplexed why you put the outside table halfway under the pergola 😂

Katrina: Likes yellow and orange Kayla: Best I can do is blue, green, and pink

Wait but why are the outdoor table and chairs not properly under the pergola when there’s nothing else there anyway

How wholesome of Simsie to support the caliente family like that!

new challenge: build a house without using any blue, NOT AN OUNCE!

kayla adding a "sun room" and not even using it

Poor Katrina didn’t end up with any orange 😢

“They don’t need to have garden pots…she dislikes fishing and gardening” *still gives Katrina garden pots*

i love how she said "it's hot in the desert" and puts a chimney

Tbh all the base game houses need some love😭

They need to invite simmers to rebuild base game lots, like they're doing with recent packs, and release it as a update.

I think its intentional for most houses to have that unfinished or incomplete look so that players can modify them to their taste if they do decide to play the goth's or caliente's character

11:59 “At what point do I have too many palm trees?” I’m from Cuba and this question is nonsense. I say there aren’t enough palm trees, frankly.

It would be fun to see you push yourself completely out of your comfort zone for the interior of the townie builds. You're not going to be playing in them, most likely, so they'd be a good place to play with colour and pattern! Obviously, we all build to our own strengths and tastes, but townie homes are a great place to experiment, I think. Unleash your inner boho maximalist, pastel goth, or ultra-modern brutalist! I would really love to see that from you.

I wish she would do more closed concept builds. It seems like she always goes for open concept floorplans

I actually grew up in a house that had interior windows! It was an old house that had an extension built onto the kitchen, so I thought don having that tiny room was just him getting a room as an afterthought since it’s what he deserves

I don’t know why by Kayla being concerned by the amount of palm trees she has while also living in Florida is so funny to me. Also looks amazing as always Kayla great job.

Lol I never worried about Don’s room. I figured he doesn’t spend much time there anyway.

Why did you make Katrina's bed blue? I literally don't get the thought process behind that lol

tbf, the whole game could use a refresh lmao but at least I'm glad Kayla can do it

yes!! theyve needed a better house for ages

well, i love the outside now. Idk about that interior though Simsie 😂

Omg, Caliente sisters are Cinderella's step sisters! Does anyone remember that they wore pink and green gowns all the time?😂

Those "fake" balconies are called Juliettes! I also really love this build. you did an amazing job Kayla!

“She likes orange” *makes it blue*

looooove your reno of this house, i hope its on the gallery cuz its not a want its a need, such a mega improvement

If there was ever a sim that deserved the Blanche Devereaux wallpaper, it's Katrina Caliente.

Lol simsie places the ceiling fan and says, "they are in the desert, they needs this. It's hot." And then proceeds to use leather couches. 😂

Kayla saying: "It's gonna be fine" makes me so so happy and makes my day

'her only skill is level 2 mischeif' relatable

Thanks for all the Renos making the game better!❤

Thats a lot of bookshelves for some sims I cannot picture ever reading

yess new foundations i want a solid white one but that also pops out

omg yes i love when the videos are a lil longer

LOVE this builds, reminds me a lot of the homes that I see in Southern California. Great work with the exterior, I would have placed the outdoor eating space under the pergola due to the extreme heat - no one wants to bake while they are eating anything.

kayla: “kinda weird of him having art of bob pancakes” *don lothario in the sims 2 with a wall full of bella goth’s pictures* 😬 yeah he’s always been a lil bit of a weirdo and i love him (the sims 2 DON BTW sims 4 don can choke 🧘🏼‍♀️)

Def should have put the bookcase door in between Don and Katrina’s room

I think Don's room turned out to be the best room of this house. Everything fits perfect in his room.

this has been my generational home since my family's complicated history involved the calientes and my ocs kind of um... displaced them, lol. it's slowly evolved over the course of like 5 different sized families moving in and out so it's nice to see someone else give it the full makeover treatment!

Hey, the sims just added so much more swatches to the foundation THIS IS NOT A JOKE ✨❤️

I love this build but I downloaded it and immediately rotated the pergola and moved the gate to be even in the middle of the wall. Table perfectly under the pergola, grill off to the side, plant at the end. Lots of room for lounge chairs. It looks so much better, the pergola now fits perfectly.

Don’s bedroom is totally why I made the Calientes vampires one playthrough and Don their blood bag! 😂 Unfortunately Oasis Spring is very sunny and Don was freed because they one by one offed themselves in the sun when I wasn’t paying attention.

I really loved that idea with the big round archways in the sunroom and the other rounded windows. I know it wouldve been really cool and "fancy" for their house.

I'm excited to put this in my game but..katrina..your room...

*puts a fan* ‘it’s hot, it’s the desert, they’ll be glad they have that’ *puts a fireplace*

simsie doing gods work as per usual

Adding this to my save immediately! I tried to renovate their house bc the original build is god awful but I suck at building so wasn’t sure what to do. This is soo beautiful, I love how you still kept the original vibe but improved it immensely!!

All of the Townies Need a Better House😭😭

You call things weird that actually look good lol it’s funny.

Much needed fix, the one thing that always comes to mind when I think about this house is that cursed yellow bedroom.

100% agree on the need for more foundations! I wish there were as many (or more) options just like the platforms

Nina, Dina, and Don did not have fancy homes in Sims 2. This house is a big upgrade from their starter homes in S2.

To be fair Don deserved that shoebox sized room

i wonder what if there was a shell challange but instead of a custom-made one it's ea original builds 👀that would absolutely be horrible lol

bro your videos save my builds every time

Their house looks very similar to the caliente house in the sims 2, so I can kinda see where EA was trying to go with it also, I live in the southwest in a stucco shingled house that looks very similar, and it has TWO chimneys 😤

This video made me even more excited for this EP!

i've been playing the game since 2016 and i didn't even know what their house looks like until now.

I really wish they'd give us a color wheel. Both for CAS and for Building. It'd be life changing.

I have a challenge idea for you. You like renovating EA builds, and you like shell challenges. Combine the two. Take an EA built house. Remove everything BUT the walls. Windows, doors, lights, flooring, wallpaper, even roofing. DON'T TOUCH THE WALLS!!! including internal walls. Then build whatever you want with shell challenge rules, but if it's a townie house you have to build it for them. So this house shell could be a bar, since they all like mixology.

You should have a series where you make new houses for all/most of the townies (you could do just base game or other worlds) so when your finished all/most of the houses are rebuild

i thought she was gonna bulldoze it and start over 💀

Love this, i was making a new save later today with Don the player, and this will be go in perfectly!

I love your videos so much, and as a young simmer you are an inspiration and keep the Sims fun :) (no matter how hard EA tries to destroy the game)

Is it just me or does Ninna and Dinna kind of remind you of Anastasia and drizzella from Cinderella, their sister's close in age, one likes pink, one likes green

do a kayla renovates a house without making it smaller challenge

I love the shape of the house and the exterior

I love this style of house

Whenever you wear that shirt I can’t help but think of Daphne. You’re extra pretty in purple!

I just renovated this place last week, but now I wanna redo it in a different way. Except the pool/hot tub. I'm quite happy with what I did for those. Maybe I'll still come up with something cooler. Studying first, gaming later.

That looks so much better 😭😭

cosmo + wanda vibes in the pink + green bedrooms lol

Not me playing in a household with 4 sims with the last name caliente💀

That outside table is killing me! It's gotta go all the way underneath to covering lol a fountain in the front court yard wouldve been good too

You are sooo talented

I'm pretty sure Don's room was, if this was a real house in the world, was originally a laundry room.

Huge improvement. Nicely done. 😊

i remember when i decided to play like with a young adult/uni student who moved to a new city/town and lives in a foster(???) family (i’m sorry eng isn’t my first language). so i randomly chose a family and it was caliente family haha and i definitely upgraded their house while living there it was so nice!

In the sims 2, I loved playing in their "modern" Miami style house

this house looks a lot better now!

I LOVED IT!!

Til that there’s a blue swatch for those blinds. I’ve just never changed the swatch lol

I swear I was screaming on the inside for the three minutes that Kayla decided that it would be a good idea to put wallpaper on dress where the kitchen is, and leave one single tile the same as everything else I thought she was gonna leave it like that and I was screaming inside thank God she changed it
