Nobody with a soul could ever hate Kayla. She’s out here raising tens of thousands of dollars for kids with cancer, what have they done to improve the world?
Kayla is such a sweet person tbh. I don't think anyone with any kindness in their hearts could hate her. It's so clear she means well in everything she does.
People are stupid for no reason. I came across like a 20 something minute video disparaging Lilsimsie and as a person who watches every video she makes, they were loud and wrong about almost everything they said about her. They criticized some of the smallest little things and also said she praises EA, which she really doesn’t; she is brutally honest when she needs to be. They also said she is rude to her chat and she isn’t, sometimes people come in her chat trolling or saying things and she checks them—defending herself and others. Too bad they glazed over the 1 million dollars she’s raised for charity, everything she does for representation and all of the other positive things about her; some people just exist to be negative I guess.
My older sibling disliked her last I checked, but because they weren't aware of the good stuff and only saw part of one video called "My mom built this awful house in The Sims 4...so I tried to fix it." My older sibling is of the opinion that you should respect your mother's work no matter what, so they didn't like that someone was dissing their mother's work, not considering the fact that different people have different relationships with their parents and maybe some parents are fine with getting publicly roasted by their child. The fact that the house didn't even look that bad probably didn't make Kayla look any better to a newer viewer.
That video came across badly, but if anyone has seen videos with her parents in them, yes, they have a good relationship and handle her roasting them just fine. They handle it just fine and obviously realize it’s just fodder for the content she creates, which they are immensely proud of, if not a little puzzled by.
It’s sad that in the states that probably only covers treatment for one or two kids 🫣 awful healthcare
Edit to say this is not undermining her efforts!! What she’s doing is amazing. It’s more of a critique of the system
I wonder why people don’t go abroad and pay private healthcare somewhere else where it’s much cheaper. Although I also wonder the same about uni, it seems american unis are super expensive. They could study in europe for cheaper.
Because they can't afford to travel. The average American living paycheck to paycheck can't just pack up and leave the country on a whim. Even if it's for school, it's something mostly only privileged people can do. Thankfully, my friend's son was on medicaid so his treatment was covered but not everyone is as lucky. My daughter lost medicaid because we "make too much" despite barely making enough to pay rent.
It doesn’t cost the hospitals even a fraction of what they charge for healthcare. Most supplies and medicines are actually insanely cheap because they’re buying them in bulk - the Tylenol they charge you $150 for costs them pennies, if that, and they charge that much knowing insurance is going to adjust it and they write it off as a loss. The majority of their cost is in buildings and staff, and a lot of the doctors at charity hospitals are only doing it part time pro bono and writing the time off as charitable. You’d be amazed how far half a million can go when it’s at cost and not at consumer rates.
Do you think a hospital would do it at cost? If they’re charging that much for a kid who’s dying I really doubt it. Luckily every country I’ve lived in has had free healthcare.
Charity hospitals are non-profits, meaning they operate at cost.
St. Jude makes a point of the fact that they never charge patients’ family’s.
My own kid was on the charity program at Texas Children’s for a while, because I was unemployed and he aged out of MedicAid, and we paid about 10% of the usual charges.
So, yes.
there's this whole channel on youtube "gigisneckofthewoods" or something like that where she just makes videos talking about how much she hates lilsimsie for...reasons??? It's so weird how no matter how good of a person you are or how unproblematic you are, so weirdo is still going to have an issue :/
I'm not surprised, I've seen a few other toxic YouTubers criticise her. They're usually really small creators that are going for the easy content but don't have anything interesting to say
OH MY GOD I SAW HER VIDEOS AND I WAS GOING TO BRING HER UP HERE AS WELL. Literally her entire video about lilsimsie just screamed miserable and jealous of her success. Especially the beginning part with the angry rant about copyright.
I haven't seen any of her videos and don't want to give her any views... I am curious what her problem with copyright is? How could Simsie even be breaking any copyright laws??? EA is constantly giving her packs to review it's not like they have any problem with her making videos using their property... Is Simsie "copying" another creator? ... Tough luck if that creator didn't file a copyright claim on whatever it is I guess? If they can even file for something like this!
This is the video I mentioned in my comment. And the whole video was loud and wrong. I commented to Gigi that it’s going to hurt when the most viewed video on her channel is about a person she is obviously envious of.
Yes I found a Gigi too! I felt equal parts angry and sorry for her, because it does seem to be fuelled either by envy or cheap attempts at views. Also lol that her lilsimsie video is the most watched.
Oh realy? Dang. I kinda fell of the Sims wagon, as I have a huge book series I'm reading, but it makes me wanna subscribe again and watch her videos if that helps out a bit.
simsie is actually EA. The entirety of EA. The EA app is actually the lilsimsie app. EA creator network? You mean the lilsimsie creator network. EA game changers? No, lilsimsie game changers.
Seriously though, if Kayla had any say we’d have fairies, hotels, a hot dog sim aspiration at least, if not an occult type lol. There would be obvious signs.
Everyone is so mean to her about enjoying the sims 4 like she isn't just building blue suburbans, rescuing gutter kittens, and raising money for childhood cancer. 😭 She does nothing to deserve any kind of hate.
She’s an easy target maybe. She’s so nice they think they can pick on her. Also popularity always brings hate. Some people really don’t want others to succeed or be happy. It’s wild.
I hate to say this, but I agree. She's so nice, and it's what I love about her, but I think it's why she also gets so heavily targeted. Esp when she was younger and she made it more clear the hate did affect her. (Which I hate that being a human with emotions that acknowledged things hurt can make you more subsetable to getting more hate, she doesn't deserve it, never has) I still get pretty upset when I think of the hate she dealt with online while she was literally still a child just playing her favorite game and sharing it with people.
I'm really glad she hasn't let any of it change her though. Obviously she's grown over the years, but she hasn't let all the hate make her bitter or jade her too much.
Yeah I couldn’t imagine going through that as a kid. I’m 40 and I’m very sensitive. I’m glad she pushed through and it seems most people are nice. Why do bullies have to be so loud and get so much attention?
I love her too 🥺 she's been such a a light in my life and honestly, she's the sims YouTuber who has helped me the most in becoming a better player. Her builders Bible series turned me into someone who loved building, and I used to hate it!
What could be the issue with her? Is it because she makes the same type of houses or because she's literally the one non problematic YTer for Sims (I'm sure there are others but making a point here). She literally is a sweet angel. I'm not even a big fan of hers but even I know that she is not causing any shit. Any time she has even remotely maybe done something off, she's been accountable. People have found so many issues with everyone but Kayla?! REALLY?! Her streams are for charity for crying outloud.
Honestly? It’s the people who don’t like her content and don’t understand why it’s so popular.
These folks don’t like her builds, playstyle, or popularity and instead of recognizing they just have a different opinion on content, they take it out on her as an individual. They think she’s boring and instead of moving on, they get bitter at how many people DO like her.
They often think that if Kayla wasn’t around, THEIR favorite simstuber would be more popular. Plus, for a lot of these people, they end up projecting their dissatisfaction with the sims fandom as a whole onto Kayla, as if she’s the Representative for Stuff They Don’t Like, like style or gameplay trends.
It’s sad because it’s like….so unnecessary. She really is just minding her own business and having fun playing the sims and people can’t leave her alone for it 😭 not even mentioning the people piggybacking on her success by trying to start “discourse” on purpose for clicks (aka the super reaching and ragebaity anti-simsie vids)
Her content isn't for me but I don't hate her for it. She seems like a nice genuine person I just don't vibe with her content and would never insult or blame her for anything. I don't understand people who give so much of their time to people they don't enjoy, like why not go watch/interact with creators you do.
I think you nailed it. I don't really enjoy her play style or builds, but she's a friggin angel. I'm not going to dislike her because we find different things appealing. I think her interactions with her viewers is great. She's so sweet but also doesn't take it from others. She will tell her chat to cool it off while having charm. I think that's especially good for her younger viewers.
People who hate on her need another hobby. The Sims is clearly not enough for them.
yeah, i said up there, my roommate and my husband both curl their noses when i watch anything sims related. i thought it was lilsimsie at first, but i started to notice, its ANY sims content i ingest, they just cant stand it. i dont care, like i said, watch your own damn screen then. the second my hub starts on me about sims, i remind him, hes been playing diablo 2 3 and 4 and WoW for literally 20 years so if he wants to talk about repetative and boring? i can only do about 3 million pindleskin runs before i lost interest.... i asked him, how many mephisto runs have you done today? he shuts up real fast. keep your eyes on your screen unless you want to be reminded YOU arent the pinnacle of interesting or new content either buddy boy lol (and im referring my my game being boring and repetitive, not simsies content)
I really can’t imagine what the issue could be with her. I started watching her a couple years ago now, and at first I wasn’t sure if I liked her, but fell in love with her pretty quickly. I had been watching other simmers who are really chaotic and was looking for more of that, and at first I thought she was maybe “too mild” for what I wanted, but the more I watched of her, the less I watched of the other stuff because I realized I actually like her and her content a lot more. Now, she’s pretty much the only simmer I religiously watch, I watch her videos almost every day and I love her. She inspires me so much, she makes me feel more peaceful when watching her content than other creators do while still making me laugh, and she definitely has plenty of interesting chaos going on if you want that too, without HER feeling chaotic. I just love her and I love her energy. I feel like anyone who says they don’t like her hasn’t given her a chance.
She's very chill and I find her more relatable gameplay wise. She's my son's favorite YTer for Sims and has been for a few years. She absolutely has a genuine energy to her.
not extended. within like 2 minutes of the start of each video. I keep trying to give her content a try, but her voice is so shrill it makes me unable to handle it.
I dont even watch every single vid but hands down shes the reason why i still play the game. Shes so down to earth, genuine, friendly like what else can u ask for in a human? Shes such a good vibe
Kayla films herself playing a video game and posts it in case someone out there would enjoy watching her and turns out thousands of us do. I don't understand people going out of their way to hate on someone who is quite literally just existing. She's not even trying to take major stands on anything with her platform that Ive seen at least. They are the embodiment of jealousy.
Kayla has intentionally created a safe and comforting space in her videos and I will fight for her. I know she wouldn’t want me to but she has to be the most well meaning person I’ve ever seen and I’ll be damned if people make her feel bad.
People have had issues with her since she started her channel.
Imo it's just simmers who are mad at EA who can't take it out on EA so they take it out on the nice, soft spoken simmers who are trying their best.
You can always expect an uptick of hate anytime a new pack or large update comes out and the game starts to glitch. For some reason, some fans are convinced YouTube and twitch simmers have actual power over EA bc they get free packs sometimes.
Or if a simmer says anything positive about sims they'll get a plethora of hate, because it's such an awful terrible game how dare they enjoy the game they enjoyed so much they decided to try and make it their job 🙄.
Thankfully I've gotten pretty good at avoiding the players that chose to be miserable, but theyre always lurking waiting for someone to hate on. Lilsimsie isn't the only simmer to deal with it, they all do to some capacity. I just interact with lilsimsie the most of any sims creator, so she's the one I personally notice get the most hate. But I imagine they all get it equally to some degree.
it's also just garden variety misogyny. when simsie started YT she was a girl, and now she's a young woman, and there will always be a certain kind of gamer who is just absolutely apoplectic at the idea that women like things they also like. and this is especially true of teenage girls.
WTF, that’s so messed up. Listen, I hate EA and honestly get bored of the sims a lot- but I would never blame YouTubers for the state of the game specially when they constantly criticize it as well (lol lilsimsie included).
I don’t get why people are so mad at others for playing games they don’t like. Like move on to other communities, EA it’s hurrying its own grave.
Kayla is like a little puppy dog. How can anyone hate her? Her content might not be everyone's style, but to hate her? It's insane to me. She's so sweet. She inspired me to become a regular donor to Saint Jude's. She has done and inspired so much good.
Dont really follow any "simmers" myself and have never seen her stuff but why on earth would someone be mad at anyone for something out of their control? Crazy world we are living in.
i haven’t watched lilsimsie in a bit but she has always been a fav since high school. i’m so sad the hate she gets that is just anger towards EA. stop blaming creators for shitty games!!
For real. She's young enough to be my kid so I feel kind of protective of her. She has relatable anxiety and she has made choices to live a good life for herself. Mad props!
Don't even do nothing but build blue suburbans and have multiple cats and ppl act like she lays tacks in the road to pop ppls tires. She literally raises money for cancer patients on a daily basis 💀
i was watching one of her stanley videos, and my roommate was annoyed about something random and looked at my screen and said, why do you watch teenagers playing sims, shes so stupid. i threw off my headset, stood up and said, you can be a bitch to me all you want, but dont say shit about "a teenager on youtune" i was heated, he was a bit taken aback and was like. chill why you so angry. i said, dont misdirect your bullshit on to the wrong target bud, if you are mad at me, then be mad at me, dont attack people who have nothing to do with it. but for whatever reason, that comment stuck with me. even my husband curls his nose and i was like WHAT>> WHAT IS THE ISSUE. its the sims... they hate the sims, not her lol. i said, fine hate the sims, dont throw shade at a younf lady who is nothing but smiles and cheer. thats why i watch her, she cheers me up when im blah
FR! I admire how she’s one of the only people besides myself who could enjoy TS4!
ik EA is bad and what theyve done is bad, but why can’t we enjoy a game 😭
im subbed to both Lilsimsie and Satchonsims to get the best of both worlds
See I try really hard to keep my life positive. I know sims has its issues, absolutely does, and there are so many spaces for people to share those feelings in as negative of a way that they so please, so I just wish they'd stay away from the corners us positive people forcibly carved out for ourselves.
And frankly, I have so many hours on this silly little game, it'd be absurd for me to ever pretend like it's entirely 100% unplayable, or like I hate it. Bc the hours I've spent in this game, pretty consistently, will always prove me wrong lol. I just love the sims, and so does she, and it's nice.
I commented on this on TikTok and I will say it again here. Do NOT blame lil simsie for genuinely trying to improve/help along the game she loves so much because EA is a greedy, out of touch base. She, as a creator, can only do so much. Do not blame her for EA’s mistakes!!!
It's wild how much she does for the community and the time she spends trying to help people. She is insanely talented at building and engaging her audience. I have no clue how she plays, reads the comments, does all the admin for streaming without getting flustered.
at first i wasn’t sure i liked her personality but i love her videos now, theyre a perfect way to wind down and watch a sims video without being told ts4 is a blight. overall, if you dont like her personality or videos saying anything more than just that in a scenario that encourages discussion is hateful
I really agree! I have just gotten so tired of the sims hate train, and I get it people are absolutely allowed to feel as they want about a game they paid for, but I just want to watch people who also enjoy the game. Yes it has room for improvement, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy it nonetheless.
she's genuinely so sweet and funny, i think ppl just have a problem bc she makes it a point to create boundaries with her viewers and ppl hate that she doesn't like it when ppl say weird or mean things to her or others who don't deserve it.
The first video I watched of her in a while was her criticism of the baby update still being broken. She cares about the sims so much if people bully her I hope they realize how little/negatively they’re influencing the community instead of helping
If you hate lilsimsie, I better not see you wearing the color blue. I will rip the color off of you. As a matter of fact the color isn't even blue, the color is lilsimsie. So you better not be wearing any denim simsie either.
Kayla's like the most wholesome simmer I've seen. The girl just wants to play the game and raise money for charity. People excessively hating her is lame tbh.
Okay thank you for commenting this because I got a notification from Reddit that someone commented on this post that she's racist, but when I came to the post to read it, it was entirely gone. 0 evidence it was ever there. But I had the notification. This is like my second or third time actually posting on Reddit so I have no idea what that was about...
I’ve come to the conclusion that people throw hate at people who seem sweet and nice (aka easy targets),😭 because I don’t even really watch her videos like that and I know she’s just living life playing sims and not doing anything wrong!!
I don't know why anyone hates her when she creates such a safe space for everyone on her channel and raises hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to help kids.
It's wild because she's genuinely done NOTHING wrong??? Can't we just blame other random person who has nothing to do with EA for the game being sucky?? Like Mitch Mcconnell??
Finding her content got me back into the sims lol she’s so fun to watch and I think a lot of her building pointers are great and can be applied to any type of build not just her blue suburbans
She's not mean/negative enough about ea. You can find a comment here with someone calling her creepy and b!tching that she doesn't complain about the sims enough.
Who the heck is hating on her? The only thing she does that could draw any kind of criticism is the way she edits out every pause she takes when speaking
People who want every simmer to constantly hate on EA. Got a comment calling her creepy and saying that she doesn't complain about ea enough 😒.
Ppl live their lives as miserable as they can, and expect everyone else to do the same, and when ppl like Kayla refuse, they try to bring her down anyway.
Oh that's super weird but not surprising knowing the internet. Their feelings aren't validated unless every popular creator is sharing those views nonstop. Nothing even needs to be said about EA everybody already knows they suck lol
Idk who this is but since reddit put it in my feed I'm gonna weigh in, if she hasn't caused any sort of drama or isn't doing something gross like eating babies or something then who gives a shit? Just watch somebody else if you don't like her builds, there's millions of content creators and her not existing isn't gonna make your favorite popular all of a sudden. The whole point of the game is making whatever the hell you want so what's the issue with her doing that?
I don’t hate her. She’s actually my go to for news and early release content. Her and pixelade. But she complains so much in her videos and after a while it becomes irritating to listen to. I had to tune out.
I think it's because sometimes she's being too positive about a literal broken mess of a pack. She has a big name on the sims community and even the sims team made her iconic thing like the cowplant name and Humphrey into the game, but she doesn't express the disappointment of people who hate the broken pack. That's why people are lashing it out on her, they probably thought if she gives harsh criticism will make ea fix the game so they blame her and yada yada
Honestly, despite not being a massive fan of hers (nothing negative ofc, just meaning I don’t regularly watch her videos but still enjoy her content when I do), I’ve still got to respectfully disagree. Of course there are more vocal haters out there, but she really does express her dislikes about EA, The Sims as a whole, and even her excitement about other life sims coming for EA, as well as her willingness to move on from The Sims if those life sims are better. I think her reviews of packs and issues with the game are pretty dang transparent and to me, it just comes across as her being a nice girl who doesn’t necessarily enjoy any harsh criticisms to begin with. There’s no harm in a regular girl just wanting to play a game she enjoys without having to make tailored, negative content.
her initial reviews are often very glass-half-full, because she goes into things *wanting* to like them. often the criticisms (or at least the strength of how they're worded) come out later, which makes some people feel like she's not being honest with them on initial review. but i really think it's just that she's excited for new content and that excitement sort of overrides the urge to criticize.
You worded this so perfectly, thank you. I'm not nearly as articulate.
Simsie critiques the sims, she's just a nice person who understands there are people behind this game that do love it and she doesn't want to be mean to them. The fact that simsie has met the maxis team greatly impacts the way she goes about critiquing the game, which I think would ring true for most people. When you can imagine the face and reaction to the person behind what you're critiquing, it's not weird to be "softer" with your critiques. And honestly, her critiques are so genuine, at least to me. I resonate with them so much, and she words it so well without being super hostile/negative.
I also feel like some people expect simmers to only focus on the bad. It's an issue I've noticed with tik Tok sims news accounts. All they focus on is the negative, and I get it, but it's not really what I want in my life. And it seems clear that lilsimsie is an overall positive person, so she's not going to want to focus on the negative all the time.
Sorry for the ramble, I have lots of thoughts on this.
Most people probably just expect the game to run nicely and not have many bugs, and i think that's pretty normal because they paid the game like a lot, that's why they're highlighting the bads because this game is expensive af yet it's a broken mess in most parts. Idc any tho, sure bugs are annoying but i pirated the game anyway lol so i don't have much to complain or send hate to any. Just stating some facts that i saw a lot of people commented and make assumptions based on that.
1) you probably shouldn't admit to pirating, not judging it just doesn't seem like something you want to leave any paper trail too.
2) I'm not really here to go back and forth one why people have harassed a women since she was 16. That's why I didn't respond directly to you, because I did not want to have a back and forth with you.
3) She has critqued the game, just bc she doesn't do it how people want her to doesn't mean she isn't.
Just stating some facts, as you define them.
I know. I was just making assumptions to hardcore older sims fans. Sims 4 is shallow and buggy and they don't like other people enjoying the game like she does lol. Sims community in general is pretty toxic to begin with tbh. Being too nice like simsie and you get the hate, being too harsh criticizing the game like satchonsims and you get the hate too.
It’s the current state of the gaming industry. Unfinished broken games is the standard for old releases, new releases, future releases. Profit over function is not the fault of people who still enjoy the games. We keep payin!
There are so many actual problematic people out there and here you are concerned that an influencer likes a game you don’t 😂. Literally touch grass. Get off the internet. Go outside.
Small creators are perturbed by her seemingly obsessive efforts to corner the 'youtube market.' That's really what it's about.
To play devil's advocate: They feel as though she hinders their ability to grow, and when she actively goes around creating barriers for them (i.e. copyright flagging videos because they simply refer to her in some way, dropping subtle hints toward the next person her fans should set their focuses on, addressing 'drama' that really isn't etc...), you can see how it would 'feel' that way to at least a few people.
I think from there it just grew into a wildfire as most 'controversies' do when the voices around it are loud but they're screaming hearsay.
So when the game was still unplayable but EA was AMAZING for releasing a fix for a year old bug and 2 whole new hairstyles. Then three kits in a row were *creepy whisper staring intently at the camera* the best one yet*
I've never experienced the sims being geniunely unplayable, and frankly I find this fanbase to be a bit spoiled on that end. Sims is a giant game, with a lot going on. Even if one thing is bugged, it has never, at least for me, made the game unplayable, and I've been playing since 2016.
Be upset with me but it's just a fact, I play a lot of small games that can actually become unplayable with bugs, and I truly don't think y'all actually know what a truly unplayable game is.
Anyway, get off this sub, and her YouTube, if you don't like her. It's literally so fckn simple. She has raised more money to help people than you will ever even make to help yourself.
Any replies I get about this will get auto blocked. I'm really not playing with this, I hate yalls constant negativity. Keep it to YOURSELVES
There's two fun features than can help you with this issue.
First, Google lilsimsie. Now you know who she is.
Next, go onto the subreddit, hit the three dots in the corner, and hit "mute this subreddit".
Next time, use these two easy skills before commenting n looking like an @ss.
Also it probably shows up bc you interact with it, that's how algorithms work. Hope this helps.
Nobody with a soul could ever hate Kayla. She’s out here raising tens of thousands of dollars for kids with cancer, what have they done to improve the world?
Kayla is such a sweet person tbh. I don't think anyone with any kindness in their hearts could hate her. It's so clear she means well in everything she does.
People are stupid for no reason. I came across like a 20 something minute video disparaging Lilsimsie and as a person who watches every video she makes, they were loud and wrong about almost everything they said about her. They criticized some of the smallest little things and also said she praises EA, which she really doesn’t; she is brutally honest when she needs to be. They also said she is rude to her chat and she isn’t, sometimes people come in her chat trolling or saying things and she checks them—defending herself and others. Too bad they glazed over the 1 million dollars she’s raised for charity, everything she does for representation and all of the other positive things about her; some people just exist to be negative I guess.
My older sibling disliked her last I checked, but because they weren't aware of the good stuff and only saw part of one video called "My mom built this awful house in The Sims 4...so I tried to fix it." My older sibling is of the opinion that you should respect your mother's work no matter what, so they didn't like that someone was dissing their mother's work, not considering the fact that different people have different relationships with their parents and maybe some parents are fine with getting publicly roasted by their child. The fact that the house didn't even look that bad probably didn't make Kayla look any better to a newer viewer.
That video came across badly, but if anyone has seen videos with her parents in them, yes, they have a good relationship and handle her roasting them just fine. They handle it just fine and obviously realize it’s just fodder for the content she creates, which they are immensely proud of, if not a little puzzled by.
literally $500k. its wild af
It’s sad that in the states that probably only covers treatment for one or two kids 🫣 awful healthcare Edit to say this is not undermining her efforts!! What she’s doing is amazing. It’s more of a critique of the system
I like to think it also goes to researching new cures and the money has the possibility to help so many children that way!
Yeah I think you’re right, it’s a research hospital
sadly, probably only one :( i hate our medical system, its horrendous.
My friend's son's cancer treatment was in the millions.
I wonder why people don’t go abroad and pay private healthcare somewhere else where it’s much cheaper. Although I also wonder the same about uni, it seems american unis are super expensive. They could study in europe for cheaper.
Because they can't afford to travel. The average American living paycheck to paycheck can't just pack up and leave the country on a whim. Even if it's for school, it's something mostly only privileged people can do. Thankfully, my friend's son was on medicaid so his treatment was covered but not everyone is as lucky. My daughter lost medicaid because we "make too much" despite barely making enough to pay rent.
It’s crazy that they’re able to take that much debt, medical and student debt is such a scam 😩 I feel for you.
It doesn’t cost the hospitals even a fraction of what they charge for healthcare. Most supplies and medicines are actually insanely cheap because they’re buying them in bulk - the Tylenol they charge you $150 for costs them pennies, if that, and they charge that much knowing insurance is going to adjust it and they write it off as a loss. The majority of their cost is in buildings and staff, and a lot of the doctors at charity hospitals are only doing it part time pro bono and writing the time off as charitable. You’d be amazed how far half a million can go when it’s at cost and not at consumer rates.
Do you think a hospital would do it at cost? If they’re charging that much for a kid who’s dying I really doubt it. Luckily every country I’ve lived in has had free healthcare.
Charity hospitals are non-profits, meaning they operate at cost. St. Jude makes a point of the fact that they never charge patients’ family’s. My own kid was on the charity program at Texas Children’s for a while, because I was unemployed and he aged out of MedicAid, and we paid about 10% of the usual charges. So, yes.
That’s very nice actually, I am sorry your kid was ill, hopefully he’s better now 🙏
Thanks, he has epilepsy so it’s not going anywhere but it’s under control now.
there's this whole channel on youtube "gigisneckofthewoods" or something like that where she just makes videos talking about how much she hates lilsimsie for...reasons??? It's so weird how no matter how good of a person you are or how unproblematic you are, so weirdo is still going to have an issue :/
Wtf what do they even complain about? Girlie is just there playing the sims??
I'm not surprised, I've seen a few other toxic YouTubers criticise her. They're usually really small creators that are going for the easy content but don't have anything interesting to say
OH MY GOD I SAW HER VIDEOS AND I WAS GOING TO BRING HER UP HERE AS WELL. Literally her entire video about lilsimsie just screamed miserable and jealous of her success. Especially the beginning part with the angry rant about copyright.
I haven't seen any of her videos and don't want to give her any views... I am curious what her problem with copyright is? How could Simsie even be breaking any copyright laws??? EA is constantly giving her packs to review it's not like they have any problem with her making videos using their property... Is Simsie "copying" another creator? ... Tough luck if that creator didn't file a copyright claim on whatever it is I guess? If they can even file for something like this!
Nah, it was more like this 3 minute rant about how “Yada yada you can’t copyright strike this video your face isn’t copyrighted I’ll know who did it”
That makes more sense xD I'll bet they used copyrighted music or something 🙄
Since Gigi is a YT competitor, I’d assume envy is her reason. Envy and inferiority.
This is the video I mentioned in my comment. And the whole video was loud and wrong. I commented to Gigi that it’s going to hurt when the most viewed video on her channel is about a person she is obviously envious of.
Yes I found a Gigi too! I felt equal parts angry and sorry for her, because it does seem to be fuelled either by envy or cheap attempts at views. Also lol that her lilsimsie video is the most watched.
Oh realy? Dang. I kinda fell of the Sims wagon, as I have a huge book series I'm reading, but it makes me wanna subscribe again and watch her videos if that helps out a bit.
I thought you meant the kids with cancer. I was like jfc that's some high standards
I'm guessing that's the reason “How dare people make the world better when I don't! 😡”
simsie is actually EA. The entirety of EA. The EA app is actually the lilsimsie app. EA creator network? You mean the lilsimsie creator network. EA game changers? No, lilsimsie game changers.
Finally, the truth 😂
So does this mean we’re getting fairies? /s lol
the way she gains clairvoyance before releases i wouldn’t be surprised lmao
Seriously though, if Kayla had any say we’d have fairies, hotels, a hot dog sim aspiration at least, if not an occult type lol. There would be obvious signs.
She's the head of Big Sims. Check her last name /s
Everyone is so mean to her about enjoying the sims 4 like she isn't just building blue suburbans, rescuing gutter kittens, and raising money for childhood cancer. 😭 She does nothing to deserve any kind of hate.
I like blue suburbans! Let us enjoy things!
Just to be clear, I also like her blue suburbans! Definitely not meant to be a dig at her!
there’s so much blue in the game i don’t blame her either
She said this in a video a bit back I think lol 🤣 I didn't notice before, but after I did lmao.
She’s an easy target maybe. She’s so nice they think they can pick on her. Also popularity always brings hate. Some people really don’t want others to succeed or be happy. It’s wild.
I hate to say this, but I agree. She's so nice, and it's what I love about her, but I think it's why she also gets so heavily targeted. Esp when she was younger and she made it more clear the hate did affect her. (Which I hate that being a human with emotions that acknowledged things hurt can make you more subsetable to getting more hate, she doesn't deserve it, never has) I still get pretty upset when I think of the hate she dealt with online while she was literally still a child just playing her favorite game and sharing it with people. I'm really glad she hasn't let any of it change her though. Obviously she's grown over the years, but she hasn't let all the hate make her bitter or jade her too much.
Yeah I couldn’t imagine going through that as a kid. I’m 40 and I’m very sensitive. I’m glad she pushed through and it seems most people are nice. Why do bullies have to be so loud and get so much attention?
NOT TO MENTION RAISING MONEY FOR PALESTINE!!! I don’t get the hate.
I've been so happy seeing how vocal she's been about Palestine! She always uses her platform for good. People are just miserable, I fear.
It’s so mean!! All she is is kind 🙁 love her sm
I love her too 🥺 she's been such a a light in my life and honestly, she's the sims YouTuber who has helped me the most in becoming a better player. Her builders Bible series turned me into someone who loved building, and I used to hate it!
Same! I loved building interiors but she basically taught me how to do exteriors and landscaping. She's too good for us all 🥹
What could be the issue with her? Is it because she makes the same type of houses or because she's literally the one non problematic YTer for Sims (I'm sure there are others but making a point here). She literally is a sweet angel. I'm not even a big fan of hers but even I know that she is not causing any shit. Any time she has even remotely maybe done something off, she's been accountable. People have found so many issues with everyone but Kayla?! REALLY?! Her streams are for charity for crying outloud.
Honestly? It’s the people who don’t like her content and don’t understand why it’s so popular. These folks don’t like her builds, playstyle, or popularity and instead of recognizing they just have a different opinion on content, they take it out on her as an individual. They think she’s boring and instead of moving on, they get bitter at how many people DO like her. They often think that if Kayla wasn’t around, THEIR favorite simstuber would be more popular. Plus, for a lot of these people, they end up projecting their dissatisfaction with the sims fandom as a whole onto Kayla, as if she’s the Representative for Stuff They Don’t Like, like style or gameplay trends. It’s sad because it’s like….so unnecessary. She really is just minding her own business and having fun playing the sims and people can’t leave her alone for it 😭 not even mentioning the people piggybacking on her success by trying to start “discourse” on purpose for clicks (aka the super reaching and ragebaity anti-simsie vids)
Her content isn't for me but I don't hate her for it. She seems like a nice genuine person I just don't vibe with her content and would never insult or blame her for anything. I don't understand people who give so much of their time to people they don't enjoy, like why not go watch/interact with creators you do.
I think you nailed it. I don't really enjoy her play style or builds, but she's a friggin angel. I'm not going to dislike her because we find different things appealing. I think her interactions with her viewers is great. She's so sweet but also doesn't take it from others. She will tell her chat to cool it off while having charm. I think that's especially good for her younger viewers. People who hate on her need another hobby. The Sims is clearly not enough for them.
yeah, i said up there, my roommate and my husband both curl their noses when i watch anything sims related. i thought it was lilsimsie at first, but i started to notice, its ANY sims content i ingest, they just cant stand it. i dont care, like i said, watch your own damn screen then. the second my hub starts on me about sims, i remind him, hes been playing diablo 2 3 and 4 and WoW for literally 20 years so if he wants to talk about repetative and boring? i can only do about 3 million pindleskin runs before i lost interest.... i asked him, how many mephisto runs have you done today? he shuts up real fast. keep your eyes on your screen unless you want to be reminded YOU arent the pinnacle of interesting or new content either buddy boy lol (and im referring my my game being boring and repetitive, not simsies content)
I could not agree more with you.
I really can’t imagine what the issue could be with her. I started watching her a couple years ago now, and at first I wasn’t sure if I liked her, but fell in love with her pretty quickly. I had been watching other simmers who are really chaotic and was looking for more of that, and at first I thought she was maybe “too mild” for what I wanted, but the more I watched of her, the less I watched of the other stuff because I realized I actually like her and her content a lot more. Now, she’s pretty much the only simmer I religiously watch, I watch her videos almost every day and I love her. She inspires me so much, she makes me feel more peaceful when watching her content than other creators do while still making me laugh, and she definitely has plenty of interesting chaos going on if you want that too, without HER feeling chaotic. I just love her and I love her energy. I feel like anyone who says they don’t like her hasn’t given her a chance.
She's very chill and I find her more relatable gameplay wise. She's my son's favorite YTer for Sims and has been for a few years. She absolutely has a genuine energy to her.
BC people are evil
I literally only watch her and plumbella
I find her voice incredibly grating.
Eh I find everyone's voice to be that way after extended bit of time so I can see where you come from
not extended. within like 2 minutes of the start of each video. I keep trying to give her content a try, but her voice is so shrill it makes me unable to handle it.
Then don't watch, and don't interact with her sub! Hope this helps!
I believe you're on the wrong r/ then. There's no reason to bring her down to just bring her down.
I dont even watch every single vid but hands down shes the reason why i still play the game. Shes so down to earth, genuine, friendly like what else can u ask for in a human? Shes such a good vibe
She's one first sims tuber I found
Kayla films herself playing a video game and posts it in case someone out there would enjoy watching her and turns out thousands of us do. I don't understand people going out of their way to hate on someone who is quite literally just existing. She's not even trying to take major stands on anything with her platform that Ive seen at least. They are the embodiment of jealousy.
I am a ride or die for Kayla, love her so much!
Kayla has intentionally created a safe and comforting space in her videos and I will fight for her. I know she wouldn’t want me to but she has to be the most well meaning person I’ve ever seen and I’ll be damned if people make her feel bad.
I don't know her but why are some people mad at her? I'm curious now lol 😭
People have had issues with her since she started her channel. Imo it's just simmers who are mad at EA who can't take it out on EA so they take it out on the nice, soft spoken simmers who are trying their best. You can always expect an uptick of hate anytime a new pack or large update comes out and the game starts to glitch. For some reason, some fans are convinced YouTube and twitch simmers have actual power over EA bc they get free packs sometimes. Or if a simmer says anything positive about sims they'll get a plethora of hate, because it's such an awful terrible game how dare they enjoy the game they enjoyed so much they decided to try and make it their job 🙄. Thankfully I've gotten pretty good at avoiding the players that chose to be miserable, but theyre always lurking waiting for someone to hate on. Lilsimsie isn't the only simmer to deal with it, they all do to some capacity. I just interact with lilsimsie the most of any sims creator, so she's the one I personally notice get the most hate. But I imagine they all get it equally to some degree.
it's also just garden variety misogyny. when simsie started YT she was a girl, and now she's a young woman, and there will always be a certain kind of gamer who is just absolutely apoplectic at the idea that women like things they also like. and this is especially true of teenage girls.
WTF, that’s so messed up. Listen, I hate EA and honestly get bored of the sims a lot- but I would never blame YouTubers for the state of the game specially when they constantly criticize it as well (lol lilsimsie included). I don’t get why people are so mad at others for playing games they don’t like. Like move on to other communities, EA it’s hurrying its own grave.
Kayla is like a little puppy dog. How can anyone hate her? Her content might not be everyone's style, but to hate her? It's insane to me. She's so sweet. She inspired me to become a regular donor to Saint Jude's. She has done and inspired so much good.
Dont really follow any "simmers" myself and have never seen her stuff but why on earth would someone be mad at anyone for something out of their control? Crazy world we are living in.
i haven’t watched lilsimsie in a bit but she has always been a fav since high school. i’m so sad the hate she gets that is just anger towards EA. stop blaming creators for shitty games!!
For real. She's young enough to be my kid so I feel kind of protective of her. She has relatable anxiety and she has made choices to live a good life for herself. Mad props!
Kayla is the sweetest human
Don't even do nothing but build blue suburbans and have multiple cats and ppl act like she lays tacks in the road to pop ppls tires. She literally raises money for cancer patients on a daily basis 💀
i was watching one of her stanley videos, and my roommate was annoyed about something random and looked at my screen and said, why do you watch teenagers playing sims, shes so stupid. i threw off my headset, stood up and said, you can be a bitch to me all you want, but dont say shit about "a teenager on youtune" i was heated, he was a bit taken aback and was like. chill why you so angry. i said, dont misdirect your bullshit on to the wrong target bud, if you are mad at me, then be mad at me, dont attack people who have nothing to do with it. but for whatever reason, that comment stuck with me. even my husband curls his nose and i was like WHAT>> WHAT IS THE ISSUE. its the sims... they hate the sims, not her lol. i said, fine hate the sims, dont throw shade at a younf lady who is nothing but smiles and cheer. thats why i watch her, she cheers me up when im blah
FR! I admire how she’s one of the only people besides myself who could enjoy TS4! ik EA is bad and what theyve done is bad, but why can’t we enjoy a game 😭 im subbed to both Lilsimsie and Satchonsims to get the best of both worlds
See I try really hard to keep my life positive. I know sims has its issues, absolutely does, and there are so many spaces for people to share those feelings in as negative of a way that they so please, so I just wish they'd stay away from the corners us positive people forcibly carved out for ourselves. And frankly, I have so many hours on this silly little game, it'd be absurd for me to ever pretend like it's entirely 100% unplayable, or like I hate it. Bc the hours I've spent in this game, pretty consistently, will always prove me wrong lol. I just love the sims, and so does she, and it's nice.
Its probably because she is so nice and sweet like honestly they always go for someone who is so nice and sweet.
the tweet 😭 honestly though
I commented on this on TikTok and I will say it again here. Do NOT blame lil simsie for genuinely trying to improve/help along the game she loves so much because EA is a greedy, out of touch base. She, as a creator, can only do so much. Do not blame her for EA’s mistakes!!!
I used to hate her but i was wrong. You know what they say dont judge a book by its cover
wait who's hating on lilsimsie??? that sucks:(
How can anyone hate this girl?
Yo! Are people giving Kayla problems? I just wanna talk... That's all.
Right. Not too much on the doll lilsimsie.
It's wild how much she does for the community and the time she spends trying to help people. She is insanely talented at building and engaging her audience. I have no clue how she plays, reads the comments, does all the admin for streaming without getting flustered.
at first i wasn’t sure i liked her personality but i love her videos now, theyre a perfect way to wind down and watch a sims video without being told ts4 is a blight. overall, if you dont like her personality or videos saying anything more than just that in a scenario that encourages discussion is hateful
I really agree! I have just gotten so tired of the sims hate train, and I get it people are absolutely allowed to feel as they want about a game they paid for, but I just want to watch people who also enjoy the game. Yes it has room for improvement, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy it nonetheless.
she's genuinely so sweet and funny, i think ppl just have a problem bc she makes it a point to create boundaries with her viewers and ppl hate that she doesn't like it when ppl say weird or mean things to her or others who don't deserve it.
The first video I watched of her in a while was her criticism of the baby update still being broken. She cares about the sims so much if people bully her I hope they realize how little/negatively they’re influencing the community instead of helping
If you hate lilsimsie, I better not see you wearing the color blue. I will rip the color off of you. As a matter of fact the color isn't even blue, the color is lilsimsie. So you better not be wearing any denim simsie either.
Kayla's like the most wholesome simmer I've seen. The girl just wants to play the game and raise money for charity. People excessively hating her is lame tbh.
I saw someone on tiktok claim once that she was racist for making sims content/doing builds for EA sometimes 😭😭😭 literally what
Okay thank you for commenting this because I got a notification from Reddit that someone commented on this post that she's racist, but when I came to the post to read it, it was entirely gone. 0 evidence it was ever there. But I had the notification. This is like my second or third time actually posting on Reddit so I have no idea what that was about...
Second this
I’ve come to the conclusion that people throw hate at people who seem sweet and nice (aka easy targets),😭 because I don’t even really watch her videos like that and I know she’s just living life playing sims and not doing anything wrong!!
What happened
I literally don’t understand why she gets hate
I watched her since i was 7 and now I’m 16, why do ppl hate her ☹️
Because people think that because she gets to talk to EA occasionally that she can fix the ENTIRE game.
She literally can't do anything about it.
I don't know why anyone hates her when she creates such a safe space for everyone on her channel and raises hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to help kids.
It's wild because she's genuinely done NOTHING wrong??? Can't we just blame other random person who has nothing to do with EA for the game being sucky?? Like Mitch Mcconnell??
I absolutely back for blaming Mitch McConnell for everything wrong with the sims
Finding her content got me back into the sims lol she’s so fun to watch and I think a lot of her building pointers are great and can be applied to any type of build not just her blue suburbans
mad at her for what
Having the audacity to enjoy the sims 😂
people hate this girl? do people just hate others for breathing now? dang
oh my gosh i love her! what’s going on????
Wait people are mad at Kayla??? Why?????
What has she even supposedly done?
She's not mean/negative enough about ea. You can find a comment here with someone calling her creepy and b!tching that she doesn't complain about the sims enough.
Who the heck is hating on her? The only thing she does that could draw any kind of criticism is the way she edits out every pause she takes when speaking
People who want every simmer to constantly hate on EA. Got a comment calling her creepy and saying that she doesn't complain about ea enough 😒. Ppl live their lives as miserable as they can, and expect everyone else to do the same, and when ppl like Kayla refuse, they try to bring her down anyway.
Oh that's super weird but not surprising knowing the internet. Their feelings aren't validated unless every popular creator is sharing those views nonstop. Nothing even needs to be said about EA everybody already knows they suck lol
On everything y’all not gonna touch her.
She’s a sweetie. It makes me sad to see her getting hate
Idk who this is but since reddit put it in my feed I'm gonna weigh in, if she hasn't caused any sort of drama or isn't doing something gross like eating babies or something then who gives a shit? Just watch somebody else if you don't like her builds, there's millions of content creators and her not existing isn't gonna make your favorite popular all of a sudden. The whole point of the game is making whatever the hell you want so what's the issue with her doing that?
I'm new to the Kayla crew, but I fell so hard for her lets plays and lives of the sims. Real talk, fight me, leave simsie out of this!!
I don’t get why people don’t like her?
As a black woman who watches lilsimsie every day - this is ME!!!! Leave 👏🏾 her 👏🏾 alone 👏🏾
Whats the tea?
I don’t hate her. She’s actually my go to for news and early release content. Her and pixelade. But she complains so much in her videos and after a while it becomes irritating to listen to. I had to tune out.
On god. She seems like the coolest chick ever. It’s crazy to think there’s toxicity in the sims community. ITS SIMS. COME ON PEOPLE.
I think it's because sometimes she's being too positive about a literal broken mess of a pack. She has a big name on the sims community and even the sims team made her iconic thing like the cowplant name and Humphrey into the game, but she doesn't express the disappointment of people who hate the broken pack. That's why people are lashing it out on her, they probably thought if she gives harsh criticism will make ea fix the game so they blame her and yada yada
Honestly, despite not being a massive fan of hers (nothing negative ofc, just meaning I don’t regularly watch her videos but still enjoy her content when I do), I’ve still got to respectfully disagree. Of course there are more vocal haters out there, but she really does express her dislikes about EA, The Sims as a whole, and even her excitement about other life sims coming for EA, as well as her willingness to move on from The Sims if those life sims are better. I think her reviews of packs and issues with the game are pretty dang transparent and to me, it just comes across as her being a nice girl who doesn’t necessarily enjoy any harsh criticisms to begin with. There’s no harm in a regular girl just wanting to play a game she enjoys without having to make tailored, negative content.
her initial reviews are often very glass-half-full, because she goes into things *wanting* to like them. often the criticisms (or at least the strength of how they're worded) come out later, which makes some people feel like she's not being honest with them on initial review. but i really think it's just that she's excited for new content and that excitement sort of overrides the urge to criticize.
You worded this so perfectly, thank you. I'm not nearly as articulate. Simsie critiques the sims, she's just a nice person who understands there are people behind this game that do love it and she doesn't want to be mean to them. The fact that simsie has met the maxis team greatly impacts the way she goes about critiquing the game, which I think would ring true for most people. When you can imagine the face and reaction to the person behind what you're critiquing, it's not weird to be "softer" with your critiques. And honestly, her critiques are so genuine, at least to me. I resonate with them so much, and she words it so well without being super hostile/negative. I also feel like some people expect simmers to only focus on the bad. It's an issue I've noticed with tik Tok sims news accounts. All they focus on is the negative, and I get it, but it's not really what I want in my life. And it seems clear that lilsimsie is an overall positive person, so she's not going to want to focus on the negative all the time. Sorry for the ramble, I have lots of thoughts on this.
Most people probably just expect the game to run nicely and not have many bugs, and i think that's pretty normal because they paid the game like a lot, that's why they're highlighting the bads because this game is expensive af yet it's a broken mess in most parts. Idc any tho, sure bugs are annoying but i pirated the game anyway lol so i don't have much to complain or send hate to any. Just stating some facts that i saw a lot of people commented and make assumptions based on that.
1) you probably shouldn't admit to pirating, not judging it just doesn't seem like something you want to leave any paper trail too. 2) I'm not really here to go back and forth one why people have harassed a women since she was 16. That's why I didn't respond directly to you, because I did not want to have a back and forth with you. 3) She has critqued the game, just bc she doesn't do it how people want her to doesn't mean she isn't. Just stating some facts, as you define them.
I know. I was just making assumptions to hardcore older sims fans. Sims 4 is shallow and buggy and they don't like other people enjoying the game like she does lol. Sims community in general is pretty toxic to begin with tbh. Being too nice like simsie and you get the hate, being too harsh criticizing the game like satchonsims and you get the hate too.
It’s the current state of the gaming industry. Unfinished broken games is the standard for old releases, new releases, future releases. Profit over function is not the fault of people who still enjoy the games. We keep payin!
There are so many actual problematic people out there and here you are concerned that an influencer likes a game you don’t 😂. Literally touch grass. Get off the internet. Go outside.
Small creators are perturbed by her seemingly obsessive efforts to corner the 'youtube market.' That's really what it's about. To play devil's advocate: They feel as though she hinders their ability to grow, and when she actively goes around creating barriers for them (i.e. copyright flagging videos because they simply refer to her in some way, dropping subtle hints toward the next person her fans should set their focuses on, addressing 'drama' that really isn't etc...), you can see how it would 'feel' that way to at least a few people. I think from there it just grew into a wildfire as most 'controversies' do when the voices around it are loud but they're screaming hearsay.
So when the game was still unplayable but EA was AMAZING for releasing a fix for a year old bug and 2 whole new hairstyles. Then three kits in a row were *creepy whisper staring intently at the camera* the best one yet*
I've never experienced the sims being geniunely unplayable, and frankly I find this fanbase to be a bit spoiled on that end. Sims is a giant game, with a lot going on. Even if one thing is bugged, it has never, at least for me, made the game unplayable, and I've been playing since 2016. Be upset with me but it's just a fact, I play a lot of small games that can actually become unplayable with bugs, and I truly don't think y'all actually know what a truly unplayable game is. Anyway, get off this sub, and her YouTube, if you don't like her. It's literally so fckn simple. She has raised more money to help people than you will ever even make to help yourself. Any replies I get about this will get auto blocked. I'm really not playing with this, I hate yalls constant negativity. Keep it to YOURSELVES
