Kayla keeps saying it, but she's genuinely getting so good at modern houses!! this one is definitely another step up <3

As a Floridian who basically grew up on the beach I can tell you definitively that most beach front mansions have pools for the simple reason that cleaned and filtered pool water can be way nicer to swim in than the ocean while still giving you a nice coastal view.

As a fellow cat tutor, I feel you about not being able to "explain" things to our cats. Last year I had to give my baby (the baby in question is a 10yo cat) some pills and even after we were done with them, he would run away from me the moment he saw my face. But don't worry, they somehow manage to understand us after all.
About the wedding preparations, I'm always gobsmacked when I remember how EXPENSIVE the services for wedding and fancy parties in general are. In Brazil, we recently had a debate on how hair and makeup for a bride is always overpriced. One bride lied to her makeup artist (she said she would be a guest in a christening) just to get her makeup done for cheaper.

i LOVE hearing you talk about how stressful the wedding stuff is because it lets me know that i'm not the only one who's overly anxious about that stuff :')

2:05 My neighbor has two-storey house with a lift, so....the pool isn't weird at all
15:17 We have the kitchen and dining together, there is a TV also. The living room is used as guest bedroom and cat's palace

Kayla now: i kind of forget about the fish tanks
Kayla in the OG 100 baby challenge : Okay we're gonna have an entire fish basement

15:19 I am spanish and here most of the spanish house has the the dining table on the kitchen and another on the living room, and the dining table that is on the kitchen we use it to eat everyday, and the other, the one of the living room we use it only in special occasions, like Christmas eve or to birthdays.

I hope that you can understand my text

growing up, tv/electronics were forbidden during mealtimes, and we all had to eat at the table, and no one could start eating until we were all there. didnt matter if the show you'd been waiting for all week was on, the tv went off (we did not have a taping system, so you were sol until a rerun came on). Homework was also at the table, or at your bedroom desk if you had one.

Nowadays, I almost exclusively eat at my desk, or on the couch, and the table is an adhd collection zone and craft spot. my mother would be horrified

In my apartment, me and my mom actually use our dining table quite frequently (Its in our living room), but its mainly because our apartment is somewhat small. We do switch between sitting at the dining table and sitting on the couch while eating dinner, and then we watch shows together while eating ♥ We do have a little table in the kitchen we could use, but we'd rather sit and have more space in the living room. My mom also uses the dining table in the living room to work from home once a week :)

We are here for builds but we are HERE for you. Don't ever apologize or minimize anything you're scared about or passionate about. I've noticed you do it when you swap over to going back to builds and maybe these are just cut in places. But we love to hear about your life. You could talk the whole video about YOU and we would still watch. ❤

I know they aren't her favorite but I'm so glad she steps out of her comfort zone to try. ♡

About the table thing; we actually got rid of ours in our apartment because it just became a catch all for clutter and took up wayyy to much space lol

kayla i am getting married in september and have a wedding pro tip for you!! if you don't care about having ~real~ flowers, find a faux floral rental company and rent them. seriously saved us so much money (like probably we would have spent at least 3x as much on real flowers) and since they're reusable it's much more eco-friendly! obviously do whatever you want but if you're looking for ways to cut costs this was like the #1 thing that saved us a ton :)

[Nemokiddy]

I think lilsimsie should also try to build things that aren't realistic. Like, a completely floating house. Leaning in on the fact that it's all fictional and doesn't need to make sense. Doing whimsical stuff.
Just because I'd like to see how she would deal with challenges like that.

Dining room convo:
I grew up in France, and IDK if it applies to everybody but at least my family and both sets of grandparents are like as follows. We eat daily life meals at the kitchen table.
The dining room is used for the nice Sunday lunch or when there are guests (obviously, the kitchen table fits max 4/5 people, so dining table is necessary)
Now I live in Japan, and house/ apartments are tiny. so there isn't a separate dining room. the living room dining room and kitchen are usually 1 big room. so there's a table in there, and you wouldn't call it either a kitchen or dining table, because it's all in 1 room. In the tiny apartment i used to live before moving in together with my boyfriend, I didn't even own a normal table and chair. Only a coffee table where I ate, and did homework, sitting on a cushion on the floor.

85 baby but had an older boomer mother & youngest boomer dad. Growing up ALL evening meals were on the formal dining table. Moved out at 18 to go to uni and have never used a formal dining table since, except for when I visit my mother. Did have a 4 seater table in ONE house share but not any other. Last 9 years I've lived in my own owned apartment, again no formal dining table (no room). However I did buy a double folding table during the first UK lockdown during the panni, however its still in pieces in the box nearly 4 years later lol. I mostly bought it as in its smallest configuration its a skinny console table and i wanted more surfaces for my plants (i got plant crazy well before the panni by the way but did add to the collection during, hence the purchase).

I think most "younger" people don't use or have formal dining tables, we mostly don't have the space, and if you don't have kids who potentially need help eating, why would you actively choose a less comfortable chair vs the sofa to eat dinner?

[SimoneSeverini-zy]

Not eating meals at the table is so American, as an Italian I can confirm we always eat every single meal at the table (even snacks). Although I've lived for a year in the States and i often ate meals on the couch (if I was running late I'd eat in the car too)

The way TS4 tries to be real is so funny... we can build literally floating floors but a pool on the beach is impossible
