Kayla please stop apologizing for using bright colors, it's a fun, creative, cartoony game, people don't want to see greige everywhere 😭 Where else are you going to have crazy colors? TBH real life public spaces could use more color too.

Kayla is so brave for this. Renovating these multi-lots that change type always takes it out of me. Like, I try renovating the school auditorium for prom and forget about graduation and tap out 😭😭😭

I really liked the bench placed under the orange hexagon thingy. It looks like a bus stop

Thank you snap for editing this video for us!

4:44 Need a compilation of every time Kayla says ‘when else will we have a chance to use a ridiculous x like this’ in these build videos lol

This was honestly one of the best commercial builds you’ve ever done.

Fun fact about community spaces: They are the only lot type that auto-hires employees for food stalls and selling tables. Any version of the lot works.

Oh, I just remembered something, do you notice that people would dump their broken appliances onto the community spaces. Such as stoves, radios, and fridges. I was wondering if it would be possible for Stanley to make money from fixing the appliances and selling them--of course, he has to figure out a way to put them in his inventory or find a way to live on a landfill site for a couple of weeks--maybe even less if he gets a good haul dumpster diving. You cannot make residential lots into landfill lots, but if you fix that place up right, he can stay on it until he gets enough cash to make his home.

i wish Kayla wouldn't bad mouth herself so much. i know that's a really personal comment for me to make, but it would be nice to see her be more gentle & encouraging with herself. she's so talented and creative.

i love watching simsie build community lots, idk why but its so fun

Mr Humphrey: coughs Lilsimsie: zooms way out away from him Haha

I just want them to fix so many of the little details, yknow? Like pause on the dlc and just fix stuff like the foundation clipping with the stairs, or the way railings interact with walls, etc.

2:14 STANLEY NO 😭

These are my favorite lot types to design. They always end up being the most active in my game. They're just crawling with Sims, especially my own, which makes them so much better than all the other community lots, imo. It took me quite awhile to figure out how to do them, and I still get a bit confused, but I manage to puzzle it out. I built an Oasis Springs Arts Center from the remnants of an old Spanish church bell tower. It holds the annual O.S. Arts Festival. There are art sales, musical performances, art classes, food trucks, an art gallery, as well as artifacts from the original church available to view and "appreciate". It's located in downtown O.S., right next to the Spanish Revival style Mexican Grill & Nightclub, the contemporary Springs Gym & Spa, and Old Southwest style fire station, that's been renovated into a residence. Downtown O.S. is hoppin'!

I use the "Waterfront Maker Space" that Lilsimsie did that's dated 6-22-2020. My Sims don't go there very often though, so I may want to have this one with the newer crafting skills.

A while ago I renovated the maker space and put in a hidden bedroom so my sim could work there and get all his needs fulfilled. I actually kind of liked the original with the open bottom floor. I can't remember what I did and didn't change but it reminded me of a makers space that actually exists close to where I live. It's an old factory building and had a bunch of hanger doors that people would have open while working because they needed to ventilate, it got really hot in the room or it was just nice out.

The yellow is amazing I love it* *Source: I play most games by customizing my characters with ridiculously bright yellows and oranges. Also, a free sign stuff pack with like six signs and adding color swatches to the base game signs would be amazing

Everytime Kayla says shes not good at a certain type of build she ends up creating a masterpiece 🙌

kayla could you do a video all about using platforms? like different tips and tricks? i’ve been playing and building for a while now but platforms still scare and confuse me!

I just finished watching Kayla's Animal Crossing stream where she raised a million dollars on New Year's Eve, seriously had me tearing up! I have been watching these videos since the sims 4 came out, I cannot believe Kayla is so grown and such an amazing woman! Seriously Lots of Love from India❤❤❤

I'm so lazy when it comes to these lots. I just renovate the starting space the way I want it and save it to my library and just reload every time I have a new world. I tried doing it the way you were supposed to and just hated the way the lots changed and there is never enough stuff for all the Sims on the lot so good for you Kayla and doing it the right way.

My first thought with metal chairs was how cold they would be. But that is from my view as someone living in Iceland 😂

I assume a community lot would have donated furniture, so I think the different styles of furniture makes it seem realistic.

Im so proud of snap for doing so well! Sending love during this stressful time kayla :)

I like where you are going with this, and with all that yellow it almost blends in with the harbor area. It is a good idea to put in more crafting tables, but in case you haven't noticed, no matter how many crafting items you put in there will always be a sim walk up to it just as your sim gets to the machine. That is so annoying!!

I just want to say Kayla I love your videos so much, and it's really nice to watch after a long day. Wishing you luck in everything ❤️

I wish so hard that we could make basements that are NOT completely sunk into the floor. Making a little woodworking room in the basement with windows lining the top part of the walls would have been great! Also realistic because woodworking makes a lot of noise, it would be at least in a place with a door to seclude it a little.

It's so funny to see Kayla be so unsure about her making a nice modern build followed by her having this flow of inspiration resulting in the (imo) coolest modern maker space XD I love the yellow throwback!

I think you're actually really good at modern builds now! Your hard work and experimenting is really paying off.

always impressed with her Talent but never surprised by it! Shes so consistently AWSOME

Kayla - you are a phenomenal builder and think of everything every single time!!! Never doubt yourself you are doing amazing.

I absolutely adore the exterior! The more Kayla complains about her modrrn build skills, the more I like the build.

I might be wrong, but the original building looked like it was a converted ship yard. You know, the buildings where they build ships and then launch them into the water. With the open sides/tall glass walls. Or at least like it was inspired by those buildings. It needed a refurbish, but I think it could be a cool project to just renovate and redesign the original building with the thought of reimagining a nautical building into a community space. But as always, Simsies build looks awesome. 😊

I used to work in one of the biggest nonprofit Maker Spaces in the country and they have a main floor area that has like rentable studio spaces that are like cubicles, classrooms on one side of the building (all for different things; some have computers, some have textile things, etc.) and then there's a metal shop, a wood shop, a sewing lab, etc. and on the main floor I ran the cafe side of our coffee roastery. It was very cool, I always had customers come up to tell me about what projects they were working on. People ran their businesses out of there. We also had a cool Tool Library down the street where people could rent tools and they would have inventing/entrepreneurship programs for local kids. This maker space helped create a ton of PPE equipment during the pandemic shutdown! It was a big warehouse space but upstairs had a presentation space with nice hard floors and the rest of the building was tile. All of the chairs and tables in the building were crafted in the building and were like bright orange. This is pretty realistic to what a real maker space is, and I love the thought put into it!

You don't have to apologize for anything you do, Kayla! I love your builds and I really appreciate the gameplay functionality and colour. Do you want to rebuild the other community space typed lots (maker/gardening space) too?

I love this build!! The outside reminds me of an old factory that's been renovated to be modern, and the yellow bits remind me of shipping containers that they used for add ons. You did an amazing job!!

6:00 I remember an episode of Criss Angel, Mindfreak; Criss says he had a prison built for his dumpster because he was tired of paying for other people's trash. He has a camera and he was able to see people putting their soda cups and whatnot in his dumpster so yeah, he put bars around it to prevent people doing that anymore. Lately, where I live, I've been seeing a lot of dumpsters in prison cells, especially with the rise of homeless camps. It makes a certain kind of sense to see someone jail their dumpster in sims since it has become fairly common in real life.

i absolutely looove the colors and the yellow in this! also the way you sectioned everything, its amazing please 100% do more with color, im so here for it :)

loved watching this build come together, very different and definitely functional for so many different skills :D

Thank you!!! I love this style video, love watching you in real time 💕

17:35 honestly in builds like this, i don't think people should worry about whether or not stuff goes well together, since a lot of the furniture would've been taken from the dumpster/landfill/side of the road, and then repaired.

have a nice day if you’re reading this ❤ much love

It looks amazing Kayla, getting to come up with the shapes for these buildings is so creative :o And I love the bright colors! And I love how you always seem to be able to use the perfect windows!

This is the best maker space I’ve ever seen. Well done!

you should do more of these i loved the community build style!!

I loved this rebuild. I added a pumpkin carving table for fun. Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing

always nice to see a video from you simsie!

I-didn't know you could change that building

I love how this turned out! You did a great job Kayla 💛

Kayla, your builds are always so good. One thing I would add is more maker activities, like the Gem Table and Robotics Station. I realize that you don't like to use too many packs, and many of your viewers don't own many of the packs. But it's a great idea to renovate this lot.

I LOVE how this turned out! 💕

You can tell Kayla's from a hot place and I'm from a cold one, because my first thought with the metal chairs was that they'd be really damn cold

Oh, yeah, this brings back memories of when Eco Lifestyle came out. When I got the pack, putting in a shower and a napping area was the first thing I did.

For your building in [blank] style video series you should try out something brutalist and very out of your element!! I just would love to see how you approach something so strange 😁✨

I love that community center you made! Really! It looks amazing and I'm honestly thinking of using a house nearby that area just so I can use the gallery to grab your upload. I haven't really messed with eco lifestyle much besides being in my own house. So it would be nice to have a community lot there for all the crafting! Thank you so much!

damn Kayla, that one looks so good. You`ve managed to create a shell industrial-like and really turned it into an functional and yet beautiful community space.

i actually love the fact that the gemology table and the nifty knitting clutter are a different style of furniture, it looks like it's recycled

I love how this turned out & the yellow is so fun!

This is so cool! I once made this kind of lot as a town square with a market and made sure to include every item needed for the other lot types, so I just copied and pasted it to the other two

You did a great job, I absolutely love this

love this build! Going to download it!

In my generation save i made this community space into a place where VERY sketchy people come over to sleep, sell some illegal stuff (basemental mod is wilding there) and just in general a place you wouldn't like to get stuck at, at night 😅

This makes me laugh because I've been using YOUR Maker Space that you made for this very lot since day one. Love it! Sending Happy thoughts to Snappie!

I've just started playing with Eco Lifestyle for the first time so this is going to be so useful thank you Kayla!

So first and foremost, I didn't realize you could re-do these types of lots, this is amazing!! But the main thing I wanted to say was a while back I was playing minecraft with my husband and brother and I was building my house and after like 2 hours they come strolling back into our little town they're like why the crap are you building a church and I'm like what do you mean?! And then I took a step back and wanted to cry a bit lmao I did in fact build a church and Kayla I think you also accidentally built a church 😂 which just one made me laugh and two made me feel so much better about my (not) church.

This is awesome. I don’t know why you put yourself down because you’re really good at modern builds! I love how you think everything through with gameplay in mind 😊

I wish this building existed in real life in my town! Such a fun concept, and I love the way it looks!

Snappy you're so brave for stepping into the video editing industry!

thank you snap for editing this video while you're still recovering 🥺🥺🥺 snacks4snap

it baffles me how you still think you stink at modern / community builds... you are AMAZING at building everything Kayla! Love this one :)

I've only recently done a community space from scratch out of containers :) It's quite colorful and they don't differ too much from each other but I'm quite proud of them 🙈I have uploaded all 4 parts onto the gallery (just search for container community space or container community garden, if you want to find it). I find community spaces super awesome because I sooo love the voting part, but they are quite frustrating to build because you somehow have 4 parts and somehow the structure has to stay the same for it to look good but you also have to fit all the stuff 🙃 but if you manage it's all the more satisfying 🙈

I made yellow containers in a community space in Grims Quary. Debug has square stones from this area. Using these stones I made an additional pool. Computers are needed for a freelance career. Children's space is also needed. Mentors walk around the site. They help adults and children by increasing the skill and giving the necessary moodlet for this. You can spend the whole day with your family. Sometimes NPCs draw interesting pictures on the easel. In construction mode I hang them on the walls. I want to check if they can be moved to the painting sales stand. Maybe my Sim can buy it.

Kayla you're way better at modern builds than you give yourself credit for, and you improve with every new modern build you do!

Random pack build but you have to use EVERY item in the packs you roll. Good way to push your boundaries

Main part of the building looks like a Christian church and I can't unsee this 😭

I would love to see Kayla edit this same layout for the different lot types. I don't have eco lifestyle but I would still get a lot of enjoyment out of watching it I think

Hey Kayla I am so in Love with all the amazing builds you do, and I am sure you inspire others to also try and build in the sims, because it is so stressful, but are you releasing a updated save file🌸❤

this would be great with the other lot types like the community garden

Honestly this might be one of if not my favourite community lot you've ever built. I'll be placing it in my game as soon as I get access to my computer

thank you for editing this video snap 🙏🙏🙏

Honestly i love it and i love the yellow! it looks great 💛💛💛

This is *such* an improvement on the lot!!!! Can’t wait to snatch this off the gallery.

i was replacing the bro’s house in windenburg and as the new lot was loading in i swear their ea house has a missing roof. if so i’d love to see a renovation of that build! maybe to match the traditional windenburg vibes instead of the modern?

There is an old abandoned grain elevator at the end of my street and now I’m thinking about redoing this lot using that building as inspiration. In real life i always fantasize about it turning into a marketplace.

I’m loving it! The bright colors and so. ❤

this whole build is just making me wish there was a pottery craft/skill in the sims

as someone who would say their favorite styles and default builds are Midcentury and Modern You did very very well Kayla, deep breathes and give Snap pats.

This is really nice. You should be proud of yourself. You got out of your comfort zone and did something really cool and creative.

it was very nice and interesting to watch you do a different type of build today! (this is not sarcasm lol?)

this is such a useful community lot i love the vibes too

This is so much better than the original maker space purely because your characters don't clip into the column while using the fabricators

Going to build a community lot. I plan to start after everyone leaves for the night.

this is such a stellar build!!!

Remember that trend of the 2D Comic cakes with the black outlines? You could try a build like that🤔

Why does this build kind of remind me of IKEA lol

I really appreciate how very functional this space is! :)

I love the build! ❤

This building vibes me major Granary Square in London vibes 💛

I think you're actually very good at modern builds! They are usually my favourite builds that you've done.

Oooh I always place the makers space you built when the game first came out... I'm excited to see what you come up in 2024
