honestly, this is the best idea EA has ever made, imagine if they did this years ago and maybe willow creek lots wouldn’t look the way it did if actual sim builders built the lots.

EA: We want you to build our lots lilsimsie: MY YEARS OF EA RESTRICTIONS TRAINING REWARD ME

EA: how do we make Lilsimsie stop bullying us?

kayla: *builds a beautiful house* also kayla: THE MAILBOX

THEY FINALLY DID IT. THEY GOT THE SIMMERS TO BUILD THE LOTS. THEY FINALLY CRACKED!!!

EA finally said, "Well, let's see if you can do better then!" *And she did.*

I love the grandparents living with the granddaughter, because I've been living with my grandma this year! It's so nice to see a less 'traditional' family reflected in the game

I finally know why she never complains about snowy escape

She did it, kids. She finally built according to EA's restrictions.

EA’s next step: hiring cc creators to make the cas items. Edit: Yes, I’m aware of the update🥰

this pack is such a complete 180 from the Star Wars pack we just had in the best ways possible

“I don’t need to renovate the lots anymore” I mean you could but you might lose some friends.

I love how positive lilsimsie is about her own builds, in a lot of videos she's her own worst critique. But this one is so positive an the builds are incredible! And the opportunity is amazing.

I KNEW ITTTT WHEN THEY SAID THEY COLLABED WITH A BUNCH OF BUILDERS I WAS JUST LIKE 👀 I LITERALLY KNEW LMAO. - ps: congratulations!! this is an incredible opportunity AND YOU DESERVED IT SO MUCHHH. i'm so much more excited for this pack now. :) i'm so proud of how far you've come. edit; whAAA kayla hearted it ily hola tyty

Lilsimsie:"In Japan they don't wear shoes in their house". Europe: .... Probably other places that isn't US: .....

I currently have two version of my sim's everyday outfit, one with shoes and one without so that I can take off my shoes when I get into my house. I'm so glad it's part of the gameplay now.

1. i love how positive she is abt the builds. it makes me so happy seeing her so proud, and rightfully too. those builds are gorgeous. 2. am i the only one that found it so incredibly sweet that she did her research on how a lot of traditional japanese houses are set up? like it‘s so sweet, because i bet a lot of people wouldn‘ve just winged it. makes me so happy to see!

As a Japanese American I was on the verge of tears from the representation of my culture and finally making my Japanese dream home. And now come to find out my favorite Sims 4 builder built some of the lots. Don’t mind me these are tears of joy, shear blissful joy. 🇯🇵🎏🎊🎉🎎🎐🇯🇵

Sims4: Ok, so this guy likes snowboarding- Simsie: p L a T F o R m s

*realizing that you’ve played in a simsie-designed house without realizing it* WOOT!

Imagine if Kayla does a video tearing apart her own building skills like she does to ea 😂

I WAS FULLY EXPECTING TO HEAR "I'm not being paid, they just sent me the pack early" BUT I'M SO PROUD OF YOU KAYLA!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! AND AGAIN CONGRATS ON A MILLION!!!

I never comment on UKposts, but I just had to compliment you on how elegant, sophisticated, thoughtful, and functional these builds are. You can really tell that you did your research both on the interior and exterior, and it really seems like you pushed yourself with these homes. In the end, you did such an amazing job and I believe these builds will really be cherished

I liked looking at the houses, but honestly, I was looking at Kayla being excited and happy. Seeing her so smiley and proud to be in the game warmed my heart so much. She deserves so much and I wish I could tell her how happy I feel seeing her ❤️

I love people who start with "In my research I discovered that..." Always a good sign.

EA: "Okay guys.. how can we do this pack without Kayla absolutely roasting us?"

petition for kayla to actually be hired by EA to build all the lots from here on out

OOOH that's why the lots in Snowy Escapes are actually so good.

Honestly, watching the trailer, I was like "hum...those houses look so much prettier than usual" so I'm not surprised they asked content creators to do them! :)

I’ve never been this excited for a pack. I feel like i’ll be able to connect with this pack so much because it comes from the community. We voted for snow activities, the builds are amazing because game changers got the opportunity to build them, and more. It feels like the sims team and ea took our criticism and did something great with it. I hope this pack isn’t a one time thing, i hope they will do the same things with upcoming packs. Sims 4 is starting to feel worthy of the status of being my favorite game.

Now I understand why I actually liked the houses in this pack so much

damn, the split leveling is a perfect solution for giving more dimension to super huge rooms. i'm soooo gonna love it!

Does anyone realized when Kayla *sadly* said to Jason Dolley that she cannot make Teddy's platform bed because Sims doesn't have platforms, she already knew about this pack? edit: i didn't mean this as criticism, it just made me smile how sneaky Kayla was

i feel like this video truly showcases kayla's talent.. the lots she built are quite different than her usual style (middle-class american suburban house) but she managed to do it so well. she was still very creative with the interior designs and holy crap i'm so freaking impressed

EA: We want you to build our lots. Lilsimsie: IVE BEEN TRAINING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE

I did find strange when she didn't notice or talk about the platforms when the trailer was out. She knew it.

Me: *Looking at all the platforms inside the homes and getting excited to use them* ^_^ Me: *Realizing my toddlers take forever when using stairs and it will take forever to move anywhere now* 0_0

This is like the best news ever. You’ve had a crazy week. Hitting one million subs and ANNOUNCING YOU BUILT STUFF?! Awesome! Also the builds all look awesome

she just completely skipped over the fact that WE CAN HAVE SPLIT LEVELS NOW

Omg, I just had an idea: What if you and the other UKpostsrs that collabed on this project, had a separate collab where you all build different sections of a house, and then put it all together?! Idk if this has already been done, but it'd be such a cool video to see all your different creativity packed into one house! Also for ex: someone does the shell of the house, another does exterior/landscaping, someone does interior, someone does decor; something like that :)

watching her go from 50k subs to a million, to graduating high school and college, and now making official ea builds 🥺 my heart hurts 🥺

Kayla: “I’m in the game!” The default name for the cow plants: 👁👄👁

Okay I actually wanna buy this pack. Good play EA, having our favs help y’all with a pack to make us simmers want to buy them

EA's next step: Hiring simmers/modders/cc creators of colour as well as cultural/historical experts, designers, and simmers who belong to the cultures they are drawing inspiration from regardless of their popularity because while it's great to see diverse cultures represented, there's a difference between white people doing research to play with our cultures and sell things to us vs content made in collaboration with people of that culture for everyone to enjoy. Disclaimer: Kayla's builds were really cool and she put a lot of effort into them which is awesome. This is more a problem with EA prioritizing the white/eurocentric gameplay and narrative.

Kayla deserves an Oscar for her reactions to the build stuff in the trailers while she already knew full well what was in it😂

Me: I'm not sure If I should get this pack Lilsimsie: I built the lots!!! Me: shut the f up and take my money

I think EA asking Kayla to build lots for them is kinda a "If you can't defeat her, join her" thing XD

I’m just happy I don’t have to replace the houses on the lots in this pack...you did a great job

Imagine how these builds would look if EA did them 😭😭

I'm just glad that now she knows the Build limitations so for her future "Starter Builds using EA's restrictions" will now be accurate! Yay!!! Also, I'm definitely buying this pack now!

These builds look amaaaaazzing! I also love the detail simsie goes into when describing how she built the lots. I love building in sims, but I'm definitely an amateur at it, so I'm taking notes from this to improve my own builds!

I'm a huge nerd for anime and had a phase as a teen when I loved everything about Japan and wanted to learn everything about it, so watching this video got me soooo excited. I loved your builds, you can really tell you spent a bunch of time researching Japanese architecture to make them feel more authentic. My favourite has to be the grandparents' home though, I particularly liked the use of platforms to shape the living area downstairs and the stone floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. Can you tell I'm really excited to build with this pack?

this was one of the best ideas they had: calling real simmers to build incredible lots in the game instead of leaving the buildings empty and poorly decorated. Praying to release an update doing this with all the other worlds (and maybe calling some Brazilian simmers too lol)

When you dont even have the sims but you ship the rich boy with the girl living with her grandparents

Hi Kayla, I was so nicely surprised by these builds because they are pretty different from what you usually do and yet so amazing😍 but I can't get past that door "in the air" into the bedroom at 10:30 I had to look away the whole time🤣

I love how excited you are for being apart of this. You so super deserve this!! Proud of you!

10:41 the fact that the door is floating gives me major anxiety

Kayla: *going on and on about the little girl’s bedroom* Kayla: And then her brother has a bedroom as well Me: uh yeah, I sure hope he does

OMG i’m so happy for you. That’s so cool. Having you build the lots was a great idea! I’m really excited especially because I normally struggle with exteriors.

I really hope they include you in more things (if you would like ofc). You did such a good job!

The first renovation video: "I turned my own lot into a Sailor Moon house."

Wait does this mean she now knows the actual EA restrictions👀👀

Snowy escape is one of the best packs ever I’m so happy I bought it

I just got this pack and thought, “wow, ea really stepped up their building quality.” I had no idea game changers actually built for the pack. It makes so much more sense now. Good job!

when the new pack actually comes out you should make a 70's home with a conversation pit!

These builds look so nice! Congrats on the opportunity Simsie, you killed it! Without minimizing the hard work that you and the other simmers put into these builds, though, I am disappointed that EA didn't use this pack as an opportunity to collaborate with Asian simmers. I think that would have been a really cool touch and would have given some opportunities to those who know these kinds of styles more intimately in their everyday life. Editing to add in this, because I think it's important to mention: even though EA fell short in not offering a chance to Asian simmers to work on this world, I am so grateful that Kayla so obviously did such careful research into Japanese houses and how they are typically set up. It definitely shines through in her builds and I appreciate that!

THANK YOU for linking to the other videos! Looks like only you and SimLicy did that and it is very helpful to be able to see all the other builds.

Would have loved to know Japanese simmers also helped work on this.

WAIT!! Really?!?!?! Thank goodness we'll have some good builds!!! Ooooooh, now she knows more about EA restrictions, wonder if she'll tell us?????

OMG. First of all: Finally there are some GOOD pre-build. Second: Am I correct in assuming, that this world is for holiday AND for living? Like, you can actually live there, but you can also just spend your holidays there and live somewhere else?

I am truly blown away by these builds. This makes me even more excited for the new pack!

SO PROUD OF YOU!! All 3 of your builds are so beautiful and you can tell how much passion went into each of the builds ❤️

Finally GAME !!CHANGERS!! are CHANGING THE GAME!! Congrats to you. cause I can imagine what a big pressure was this to you, and you did so well with the japanese theme! *-*

I was waiting for you and just now when I saw this video from 1 minute ago I was like: 👯

This video has me officially hyped for this new pack! I was so inspired throughout this video and I can’t wait to play out my own stories using these builds. Awesome job and congratulations!

I'm so excited for this pack! Congrats Kayla on getting to help build it.

She hit one million subs AND she build the default lots in a new official sims pack in the same year?! What do we do in 2021?

"This is a mountain world. It IS cold" :Looks at weather: 10:43 Is that door above floor level on the one side?

This is so great! I am loving everyone's builds for the game and you did an awesome job! I am crying over here about the kotatsu table 😭 I want to play the pack already!

I am in love with these builds. I could cry at how excited I am to play with them

Does this mean... We won’t get an “Everything Wrong With The Sims 4: Snowy Escape” video like we always get? *LE GASP!*

"I Built The Lots In The Sims 4: Snowy Escape" SOLDDDD

These are seriously great builds. You did such a good job

I am so proud of you that there are no existing words to express it.

Kayla in the trailer reaction: I've never seen this pack before Also Kayla: I built the lots

I LOVE THE PASSION IN YOUR VOICE WHEN YOU WERE EXPLAINING YOUR BUILDS! YOU DESERVE ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD

These builds look amazing! I'm so excited to get this pack!

I love that you added the genkan into the starter home! (thats the little sunken bit you see by the front doors.) It really made me excited when I finally got the pack and saw it when I first picked it for my sim that it had the genkan and looked very traditional!

I was wondering why the builds in the trailer looked so good xD

I’ve never clicked so fast or been this early before

From one Simmer to another, these homes that you helped build are top-notch in my opinion! At this very moment, I'm helping my Sim get ready for his excursion to Mt. Komorebi, and I'm definitely looking forward to checking out all these lots in (virtual) reality. Maybe I'll try your starter home, and renovate it a bit myself to my Sim's tastes. Either way, outstanding job making these houses, Kayla!

That mansion is the most amazing large build I’ve ever seen, hands down!

This is freaking amazing. The regular Sims houses and community lots have always been really boring, now I know for sure the houses will look amazing. And by the way, Kayla said she wanted the house to blend in with the rest of the neighborhood, but she made it look way better than the rest of the neighborhood

Simsie, deli, Semaj: we built the lots for this world! Us: *surprised pikachu face*

I’m honestly so happy that lilsimsie got to do this. This makes me so excited for this pack.

I am so excited for you Kayla. I look forward to this pack and using your builds!!

alternate title: kayak pretending we didn’t already know this for 17:53

Me as a swede ... "who the f*ck wears shoes inside?" Haha btw love the big lot! ^^

I think it's so cool that they involved the community and big simmer with lots of influence in this pack. I think that's part of its success.

Why do I feel like ea is dropping all these packs because everyone was hype about paralives?
