Hi everybody, its Kayla And welcome back to speed build Sunday So today, my friends, is our last speed build of the year, our last speed build until next year, if you will Haha, get it cause haha do you get it cause 2019 is soon ... yeah haha Okay anyways I'm sorry, I'm so sorry oh my God, I am the worst Dumb joke that I was trying to make fun of and I just took it way to far and now it's just- it's embarrassing, so I'll just go But basically, I today built this what I'm calling "Greek Villa" I don't know if it's quite like a Greek villa, but it is a Greek inspired villa, so we're gonna go for that It's not even... Well, can I call it a villa? When I think villa, I think like a really big vacation home, but that's not like, the technical defri-definition I can't even talk. Thats not a technical definition, so I guess its probably fine? But like, I built this sort of Greek inspired villa because someone on my Twitch stream last week was like "Hey Kayla, ever thought about like building this kinda Greek looking house?" And I was like "Hmm... You know what? Lets do it!" And so I obviously didn't have a build done for today, and so I was like "Well, I think its time to pull out the Greek villa!" And so I built this one I didn't even stream this build. This is not recycled content, team. So, you're welcome Although, I say that, but often times I'll stream myself doing a build and then also record it And then post the speed build of the recording on Youtube And I feel kinda bad about like, streaming something and posting it on Youtube But also, I don't think it's like quite recycling content, because watching someone build something live Over like, three and a half hours versus watching like a fifteen minute speed build is two very different things Like you might have seen the build already, but like... it's a lot different to watch like a fifteen minute condensed speed build Like original commentary versus like a three hour long, you know, let's build on Twitch So I don't think its bad to recycle content is my point, okay? But also, I'm busy, and so I do that sometimes Anyway, speaking of streaming: tomorrow is New Years Eve and I'm doing a New Years Eve party live stream again I do one every year, as of this year and last year This is my second year doing it And listen: I feel like nobody has New Years Eve plans Like, you might have New Years Eve plans But like the vast majority of people, if you're like me especially, you like kinda wanna have New Years Eve plans But you just don't, and you're like kinda waiting and nothing ever happens and you just sorta like don't do anything fun on New Years Eve Maybe that's just my life, 'cause I don't have any friends, and so I don't get out much and stuff But like, I understand that a lot of people don't have New Years Eve plans And, um, now you do So on twitch.tv/lilsimsie, I'm gonna stream through Europe's new year and also mine So I'll start streaming at like 4 PM Eastern time, which is 9 PM in the UK, 10 PM in most of Europe And then I'll stream like, up until midnight my time So I'll be live for a bit, but it'll be fun! I'm kind of excited about it, I-I love these streams 'cause we just kinda mess around for a long time And we hang out and we can celebrate these holidays together, 'cause it kinda sucks to be alone on them And like, you know what, we're not alone We're all in this together, I did it for Halloween as well Like, it's just, it's more fun this way okay? I also hate Halloween, so I'm like protesting it with those streams But I don't hate the new year. What is there to hate about the new- like, you can't justify hating the new year You know? But anyway, that's-that's happening tomorrow on Twitch I'll put a link down below, also I'll talk about it in a video tomorrow Like, when I go live probably, so I'll have- Tomorrow I'm posting a best of Simsie video, which is like highlights from my streams all year And it's really funny, like I'm really excited about it I did one last year as well, and it's just kind of fun to like, have all these dumb moments Like all put together in one video So I'll like, announce in that video that I'm going live in case you forget or whatever But I'm live every daayyy, hey look at that plug! But you guys, this build... I'm kinda proud of I never build things like this, I never do sort of different builds to my normal stuff I do a lot of blue suburbans This is blue, but it is not a suburban It-it's a Greek villa, okay? And it was kinda fun to try and build it I found a picture that I liked online, which actually looks nothing like this build But the color scheme is kind of similar, and so I sort of copied that And it had like the blue windows and stuff like that I also- Steph0sims, my friend Steph, did like a house build a long time ago That was kinda similar to this as well Hers was a lot better and more detailed, because she makes like cool builds Her- That's just like... the way that life is when it comes to me and Steph Her stuff is just like better and more detailed, just in general But it's fine, Steph0sims is better than me, we get it I'll link her channel and that video down below But like, that was kinda the vibe I was going for with this one With like the blue color scheme and stuff Hers was just way more fun, her furnishing is way better than mine Just in general, I feel like she always tries to make these like beautiful houses Like these artsy, beautiful houses and I'm trying to make like these little, like, practical suburbans And, we just have different play styles and stuff Plus she makes like one, like really good video, you know, a week And I-I'll make like seven, like okay videos a week We're just- we have different content on our channels and that's okay But hers is better than mine, objectively Which is- it's fine, I'm fine, everything's fine I love Steph0sims! Alright I'll stop talking about that now I also love my own builds, okay? My blue suburbans are really good, okay? And, guys, speaking of things that I love My family is coming over tonight, so for the past two like, big holidays Like Thanksgiving and now Christmas, my family's come over Like I've invited them to my house the day before or in this case like a week after Christmas To have like a family holiday thing at my house, just because I'm trying to be, like good at cooking And also, I just wanna see my family, so I've been inviting them over for dinner This is the second time And so I'm having like a family Christmas, like a late family Christmas, at my house I have all of my gifts for them I'm really excited about it, and I'm gonna cook them dinner And so I'm making, because vegetarian, I'm making this like roasted cauliflower But this whole roasted cauliflower, and it's kinda like how you would like roast a chicken, but it's like a- just a cauliflower Like a whole head of cauliflower, and then you like slice it I'm kind of excited, I'll let you know how it goes, 'cause it's- I know it sounds kinda weird, maybe For if you don't- if you've never had that before, but like, roasted cauliflower is really good And, um, it's a fun like vegetarian main course, okay? So I'm doing that, I'm gonna have like mashed potatoes and stuff, like Christmas dinner but instead of like A meat, we're gonna have a cauliflower Which, I don't know how my siblings will feel about this, but my Mom's gonna like it for sure So, there's that, shout out Karen one time! Me and her, we got this But I'm really excited, they come over after my stream tonight at like 7 o'clock or so And so I can't wait to see them! And I got them all really fun gifts and I don't wanna say what they are Because I don't wanna spoil it, they don't- they're not gonna watch this... Well, my Mom might watch this The rest of them will not watch this, like Brett and Shanna... Honestly, I don't think that Brett has ever seen one of my videos That's my brother, I don't think he's ever watched a single one of my videos And that's fine, I don't blame him. Like they're not good, they're not worth watching *Nervous laughter* But I don't think he's ever seen a single one of them My sister Shanna loves The Sims 3 a lot, so I know she's been watching my Generations let's play And I feel like she watches my vlogs occasionally too of Stardew Valley, 'cause she likes Stardew Valley a lot She doesn't like The Sims 4, she's like a.... All these New Gens are like only Sims 4 stans, that's all of you guys, you only like The Sims 4 No, I mean that in a nice way, though But like my sister, I feel like it's kinda weird, because most people her age I don't mean to generalize, but I feel like, like the younger crowd that never played The Sims 3 Like they were all too young for Sims 3, so that are all into The Sims 4, people that are like thirteen A lot of you guys probably only played The Sims 4, right? Which is not like a bad thing, but it's just like, because of your age, like you weren't really playing Sims like five years ago, you know? Um, maybe you were, but like I'm just saying like in general, I'm guessing But my sister, because of me, played a lot of Sims 3 a few years ago, when The Sims 3 was in its like, main day You know, back in the day And so she is like a big Sims 3 stan, she hates The Sims 4. I don't know about hate, but she just prefers The Sims 3, for sure And that's how I feel like most people feel about The Sims 2, most people my age at least Because most people that like, I know, at least, okay, all had like older siblings who were playing The Sims 2 when it was out So they were like four, but they were still playing The Sims 2 Whereas when I was like four, and The Sims 2 came out, I didn't have a computer or like an older sibling to play it So I just never played Sims until Sims 3, when I was old enough to like find it on my own and play it on my own Which is kind of funny how those things work out, right? But yeah, I'm a- I'm a fake simmer, I didn't-I didn't really play The Sims 2 I've played it a few times, but I didn't play it like when it was the only Sims game out or anything, cause I was too young, okay? I was a child, it's not my fault! Anyway, it's fine My sister though, shout out Shanna one time! Sims 3 stan, I respect it I also stan The Sims 3, so... it's kind of exciting I have, by the way, the let's play that I'm doing, Generations, it's really dumb I don't know if you've like, seen it, or clicked on it at all or anything, but it's one of my favorite let's plays of all time Like I just- I'm having so much fun playing The Sims 3 again, and it brings me a lot of joy So if you want to watch it, I'll link the first episode down below if you want to like... maybe binge it or something, who knows But I just- I really enjoy that game, it reminds me of my childhood And maybe not quite childhood, but like it reminds me of middle school Which is not a good thing, but it's like the only good part of middle school was The Sims 3 And so when I play it, it's like "Ooh, joyful memories of like good summers in middle school when I was having fun simming" You know it-it's nostalgic, okay? Something with like playing- honestly to an extent playing like Outdoor Retreat is a little nostalgic for me now Because I remember so vividly when Outdoor Retreat came out, it was the first pack for The Sims 4 And I remember when it came out, I was so excited about it, I was like a freshman in high school and I was so just, I don't know, over the moon for this new Sims content It was really fun, I miss those days, 'cause like obviously I didn't have a Youtube channel then And so, Sims content releases were different, because now when a new pack comes out, obviously I'm very excited But it's like "Okay, new pack, let's rise and grind, we have videos to make" and stuff like that, like so it's- When a new pack comes out, the excitement a lot of times is like- it turns into work Which is not a bad thing, like I love making videos about it, but it's like "Okay, new pack, let's make a speed build, like we have work to do!" But back then, when Outdoor Retreat came out, it was like the first new pack and I was just playing it for fun And like exploring it and stuff, and I don't know... it was a good time I also was eating at the time. This is so weird sounding, but hear me out. You know how certain smells and tastes might, like, trigger specific memories for you? Like, that's kind of how it works. My first time playing Outdoor Retreat, I had gotten home from school, and I was like waiting. All day. I was ready. I was in the car on the way home reading, like, 'cause there was already some guides that had come out from early access stuff, and so I was like reading the guides about it, I was on the way home from school, I didn't have any homework that night, I think, because I had-- I have like a weird block schedule kinda thing, so like, I had homework, like, 'cause my classes, I had them every other day so I could like, wait to do my homework until the day after, 'cause it wasn't due until like 2 days later. That doesn't matter, but like, either way, I didn't have much homework, so I was gonna go home and play sims like right away. And so, I was really excited, and I had, you know those like Milano cookies? I had mint ones? Like, chocolate mint. Chocolate mint? Mint chocolate. Ew, I said it backwards. That's kinda gross. I had mint chocolate Milano cookies, and I was playing Outdoor Retreat for the first time, on the way, like, when I got home from school, on this old laptop I had that didn't even work. And the battery was so broken in it, that it didn't charge, so you had to keep it plugged in all the time, and it was constantly at 1% battery. And it was really bad. Like, this was an awful computer. It was...not fun. And I had, like, when the Sims 4 came out, I had to like-- I deleted everything off this laptop just so it could have the Sims on it, and it barely ran, like, it was the worst computer in the world, it was so old. But, I mean, look at me now, like, we-- it started-- y'know, my-- my career, okay? Ew. But anyway, whenever I have Milano cookies now, especially the mint ones, which I don't ever have the mint ones. I don't know why I had the mint Milano cookies. My mom likes mint chocolate things a lot, so she probably bought them. I still like them, but like, I prefer, like the regular ones, y'know? But either way, whenever I have Milano cookies it reminds me of like, that day, and playing the Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat for the first time, and it, like, brings back good memories, which I think is kind of fun. So, anyway, if you guys have any uh-- cookie memories, let me know in the comments down below. I would love to hear about it. It's really funny how these things work out. It's the same thing, but, opposite, as in it's bad with bubblegum, because my sister, like, we used to drive every year to Chicago for Christmas and over the summer. So it's like this 16 hour, awful drive. And my sister would be in the car with us, and war with my brother. All of them. They all, like, I never liked gum, I never chewed gum really, but like, the smell of bubblegum makes me feel actually sick now. Because, she would be chewing bubblegum, like, the whole car ride. And I used to get kinda carsick, and like, whenever I smell bubblegum it brings back these, like, memories of feeling carsick in this awful, long car ride, with like my 3 siblings, well, I have 2 siblings. I'm the-- I'm the third. All 3 of us, in the back of this car, with 2 dogs, and like, driving for hours and hours and hours across the country, like it just brings back those horrible memories. So I hate bubblegum. Like if you chew bubblegum around me it makes me feel actually sick now. Which is so lame, but like, that's just...memories, y'know? It's kinda wild. I'm actually curious though, I mean this, like any stories you have like that, I kinda want to read them in the comments. 'Cause I'm sure you all have like a weird thing like that. Like, like a weird smell that brings back good memories, or like, or bad ones, maybe. I don't know. But, sometimes things like the smell of cooked bacon, which makes me feel kinda sick now, 'cause vegetarian, but like the smell of cooked bacon reminds me of like, my grandma's house when I was younger. Like, on Christmas. Like, she made bacon. I never ate it. I never ate bacon, 'cause I always thought it was gross. But like, the smell of bacon reminds me of her house, which is funny too, like it's just weird things like that. Tell me more in the comments! Uh, also, tell me about, umm...how good my build is. Compliment me, please, because I need it. *laughter* Look at me, begging for compliments again. That's kind of annoying, Kayla. But, whatever. I wanna quickly thank you guys, though, because this year has been one of the best of my life, and, I am very grateful for all of you. And I just-- I don't know how I feel about this whole like "ooh, like individual years and stuff," 'cause, like, nothing's gonna change in 2 days when the new year starts, really. But like, you know, time is a construct and all that stuff. But still, this year's been very great, and I'm, I'm really really grateful for all of you, and I just wanna have a quick thank you. I don't wanna be too sappy, 'cause like, that's annoying, but like, thank you so much for everything you do for me, because I am very very lucky! And I love you all very very much, so... I swear I'll stop, though, because that's gross. I don't-- we don't need that. I'm gonna-- maybe I'll complain about you instead. You guys all suck! I hate you! Is that better? Did I fix it? Did I like, level out the gross? Hopefully. Okay, moving to something really lame, though, you guys. I have been wanting to clean my house, like, I-- my house is always clean, 'cause I'm like, obsessive about this sort of thing, but I've been wanting to like, deep clean my house for SO long, like, the past, like 3 days. And so, I finally, after this video is done, can go deep clean my house. And, I've been waiting, like I said, for so long to do this, and I'm so excited about it, like, I'm gonna deep clean everything. I just-- I cannot wait. This is the best day of my life. So, uh, just really can't wait to get rid of you guys and go clean everything up. Which I know it sounds like I'm lying, and that I'm like, being sarcastic, but I swear to you, I'm not. I'm so excited to clean my house. It's gonna be so much fun, and my family's coming over tonight, so like it's a win-win. And I'm gonna make cake...after I get off this video. If I have time. I'm trying to do a lot of things all at once. I'm being a little bit dramatic, like I don't know if I can actually do all of that in like, the 2 hours before I stream, but I'm gonna make it work. Mark my words. I will get it done, okay? But we'll see what happens. I'm so excited! Okay. I'm making strawberry shortcake. Which I know isn't like that Christmas-y, but it-- it's more like a summer dessert, to be honest, but I just-- I like the idea of having a strawberry shortcake. Like, I just think it's good. Like, you know, like just cake, and like having fresh strawberries, and like, it just-- I don't know. It's also easy to make, so like, win-win. Okay, I swear I'll stop talking. You don't care about any of these things. I'm so aware of this. Oh my god. I'm really excited for my family to come over, okay? This is the best day of my life. I miss them. I saw them like 4 days ago, but I miss them. Wait, what day is today? Sunday? I came home on...Thursday... Hasn't even been 4 days. Okay. Well, either way, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! It's-- I don't know. Happy last build of the year! Kind of exciting stuff. It's on the gallery.
