- Hey Guys, and welcome to In Control with Kelsey.
The show where I have my friends control their lives
in the Sims 4 but I control the conversation.
(bell dings)
My friend today is Kenzie Ziegler.
You may know her from a million different things.
She has a second album, Phases.
A book, Kenzie's Rules For Life.
And Brat's web series, Total Eclipse.
There's just so many things,
and you're only what, 15?
- Yeah.
- Oh my gosh. (Kenzie laughs)
I'm fine, I've accomplished nothing.
Do you have a rule for life for me?
- Well, mainly in the book I just have, like, DIYs
that you can do. - Nice!
- And tips for boys and it's mainly just--
- I'm single, can you give me a boy tip?
(Kenzie laughs)
- Um, I mean, - You don't have to.
Honestly, I might be a lost cause.
We'll move on.
All right, so the Sims.
- Thank you for having me.
I'm obsessed with Sims.
So I'm so happy to be here.
- This is amazing. (Kenzie laughs)
Do you ever feel like you need a little bit
more control in your life? - Yes.
(Kelsey laughs)
- Well, today, we're going to take control of your life.
You're going to get to do whatever you want to do.
She can be whatever you want her to be.
She doesn't have to be a direct reflection of you.
You can get up to some mischief,
and it's totally okay, because it's just a Sim.
- Cool!
- So first, we're going to start with making your Sim self.
I often find that when I have to make myself in the Sims,
I forget what I look like.
- I always do that, yes.
- Cool, I'm glad I'm not alone.
So for that, we're going to take a selfie
and then you can use it as reference
if you need to, like a lifeline.
- Smart! - Yeah.
- I mainly just make my friends look at me
and I'm like, does this look like my nose?
Does this look like my face?
- You could also do that.
- You have such a good camera.
- Thanks.
- Is this a new phone? - It's a new phone.
- (laughs) It's the new phone.
(camera clicks)
Look good to you?
- Yeah, good.
- Perfect.
- The best lighting. - I know right?
Thanks, guys.
Game on.
- I feel like I have really big features, like, big eyes.
I have a bigger nose.
So I think that's going to be pretty easy.
- Great, all right, get in there.
What shape would your eyes be?
- What shape is my eyes?
- Oh, I'm a bad person to ask that question.
Like, eye-shaped? - Eye-shaped?
- I always say almond but I'm pretty sure that's not--
- [Crew Member] It is.
- It is?
Well what's the other shape?
I've only ever heard of almond shaped eyes,
I've haven't heard of another shape.
You have big, round, pretty eyes.
- Oh, well, thank you. - Your welcome.
Have you ever changed your eyebrows?
- No. - You just leave them as is?
- Yeah.
- Good, don't do it, it's a trap.
- I get scared.
She looks so weird (laughs).
- Do you find it easier to build
your Sim's face without the hair?
- Yeah, because I feel like the hair
gets really distracting.
- Especially when it's not right.
- Doesn't look like me at all.
I can't tell, they all look the same to me.
How do you make your Sim Selves?
This is so hard.
- I don't know.
- You just kind of guess? - I always
have other people do it (laughs).
- Yeah, I would to.
That does not look like me.
- Maybe adding hair might help.
Have you ever changed up your look before?
Like had crazy different hair?
- I've changed my hair like, seven times.
- Really?
- I go dark, and then light, and then dark, and then light.
I've been wanting to temporarily dye it
dark blue for so long.
Have you every changed your hair?
- No. (Kenzie laughs)
I'm very boring.
At one time, I had bangs
and then my sister told me I looked like a child.
And that was the day that I grew out my bangs.
The same day that I got them.
(laughs)
- I would not.
My sister actually has a Sim on Sims.
Sims made her a Sim. - Whoa.
- And my dog, which is so random.
And I was like, I'm the Sims fan, not her.
(Kelsey laughs) - So I was so mad.
- Listen to that Sims, what's that about?
- What are you doing?
- Mm-hm.
- Even the Sims agreed. - She said "Mm-hm."
- I think you did a really awesome job.
Now, fashion time.
Ooh, la la. - I'm so excited.
- How would you describe your style?
- It changes like, every day.
Sometimes I'm goth and then sometimes I'm girly.
It really depends.
- Well, let's make your Sim look as close to you
currently as possible for the first outfit,
and then if we have enough time,
we can do a second outfit.
- I feel like that's fine, right?
- Yeah, is there a brown version?
- I'm trying to look for one
and I can't find-- - Oh no--
- Wait-- - That one's pretty close!
- That's pretty good.
- That is good.
I will accept that.
And then there's a new jean, I think that one right there.
- I love these jeans.
- Those ones, look like the ones you're wearing.
- Yeah. - And when you walked in,
I was like, I know what, Sims jeans.
- They have cute jeans now, I didn't--
- They really upped their jean game.
Proud of you Sims.
- What shoes am I wearing?
- Yeah, what, you can show them.
You want to show your shoes?
- I'm wearing Converse.
- Classics.
- Oh, Converse. - Yeah, it's like right there.
- Wow, perfect. - That looks a lot like--
- We can get you a necklace, maybe?
- I feel like that's--
- Wait, that literally looks like your necklace right now.
- Yeah. - Crushed it.
- You're done. - How?
- Would you want to do another outfit?
- Yeah, let's do it.
I feel like we should do a dress up.
Like, if we're going-- - Okay formal.
I'm trying to do eye shadow,
but it's kind of looking really intense.
- Sims eye shadow's hit or miss.
- Whoa! (both laughing)
I'm just wondering why did they think of this?
- You know, that one is a question.
All right, let's show off the outfits as if it's like a,
I don't know, like,
a show that has fashion in it.
All right, so first look.
- It's comfy but also trendy.
And it's also what I'm wearing right now (laughs).
- Outfit number two.
Formal, you're going to a party.
We're wearing some Docs with our dress
'cause we don't like heels (laughs).
- All right, so we finished your looks,
you're so super fast.
This is awesome. - Yay.
- As you know, as a Sims player
there are aspirations and traits.
What would you say your life goals are?
- Well definitely music right now I'm focusing on.
Well, I just came out with my song,
and I'm doing an EP later in the future,
so I've been really busy with that
and I'm really excited for it to come out.
- Congratulations. - Thank you!
- Is there any secrets that you can tell us?
- In the songs, they're all real life experiences.
A lot of them are about boys.
I'm pretty sure, every one is about a boy,
because boys suck.
- She said it.
All right, personality trait.
How would you describe yourself?
- I think I'm a music lover.
(Sim humming)
She needs to work on her singing.
- Just shade your Sim. - Literally.
- You need to step up, okay?
- I'm very clumsy, that's true.
- Oh, and I'm a dog lover as well.
- Yeah? - I love puppies.
- What do you normally do in the Sims?
- I always just do a cute happy family.
And make them happy and then go on dates with people.
I did the 100 Baby Challenge, because she did it.
And I watched it.
- Would you want to go on a date?
- Let's do it.
- Let's go on a date.
And then you can maybe sing for them.
- Yeah. - That sounds so fun.
- Serenade them? - Yes!
Serenade your date.
Put your name in there and let's get this life on the road.
So first we're going to move in.
You can pick whatever Sims neighborhood you want.
Where would you want to live?
- I'd wanna live on the beach.
I love this world.
I guess we'll just move here. - Okay.
No ones living there.
- There you go.
Didn't even need to help.
She's already like, "And I'm in my game now."
(both laughing)
So you've just moved into Sulani
you have a beautiful beach side property.
Congratulations. - Thank you.
- You're now a homeowner.
- I'm only 15 and I have my own house.
There you go.
It's 12:50am.
Perfect time to go out on the town and meet someone
so we can go on a first date.
- Let's do that. (Kelsey laughs)
I mean, what else would we do?
- Whose this guy?
This guy doesn't look like,
You know what?
That's a spellcaster, he's a wizard.
- Oh wow, that's cool.
How did you know that just from looking at him?
- I play a lot of the Sims.
- Order, order drink.
We'll get a root beer float.
- Ooh, that sounds nice.
- What is she eating?
Where did she go?
- Wait, she just buy food at a vendor?
- Yes she just bought food.
- What kind of food is that?
Sweet and sour pork.
Would you eat that?
- No. - No.
- So what kind of events do you like to go to?
- My friends and I, since we're in the industry,
we always have clothing line events,
and makeup events and that kind of stuff.
- And that's where you meet people to date too?
- Yeah, I have a boyfriend,
I met him on Total Eclipse.
I actually didn't like him at first.
I kind of just made him come up to me.
(Kelsey laughs)
And everyone is like, he likes you.
And I was like, no he does not.
I just didn't want him to like me.
But he's the best, so--
- So it worked out.
- They're all just staring at me.
- Yeah, that's kind of weird.
What song would you sing at karaoke?
- I feel like something from High School Musical
or something. - Yes.
- That's always an easy song to sing.
- Get the people going.
Give them what they want.
(Sim singing in gibberish)
Not good. (both laughing)
This is not good.
- What's it been like working on your EP?
- It's been so much fun.
It's kind of stressful,
because having to write every single day is a lot,
but, I can't focus. - I know.
She's a lot.
Is anyone watching her?
- Let's see.
(Kelsey chuckles) - No.
- This guy's cute. - Ooh yeah.
He's looking over. - I know.
- He's like, what's up?
He's got a nice jacket. - I know.
We kind of match with our jackets.
- There you go.
- All right, okay!
He just took my seat.
- Who is that?
What is his name?
- [Both] Hugo!
- She's just like, I don't, I'm over it.
- He's doing push ups at the bar.
- Maybe he's trying to show off.
- I think he is.
He's trying to impress you.
You finally walked over to, what's his name?
- [Both] Paulo.
- Do you like to be friends first?
- Yeah, I think so.
Because sometimes when I just flirt with people,
when I'm not friends with them on the game,
it just never works.
They always just-- - Oh yeah.
- In the Sims. - I was talking about IRL,
but both kind of work.
So you met on set? - Yeah.
- What was that like?
Were you like--
- In the show, he was all of our love interests,
like, playing all of us, so it was really funny.
He's like, "I'm not like my character", blah blah blah.
- Oh, he seems pumped.
- Yeah, he's too excited.
- You should ask about his career.
Are you in the music industry too?
- Let's hope.
What does he do?
He's a locker room attendant.
- Wait, what? - Sports team.
That's cool.
What does he do?
- He attends in a locker room.
(Kenzie snickers)
- Don't walk away. - Where's he going?
(both gasp)
- Who is he talking to?
- Oh, excuse you, sir.
All right, so he's just chatting
with all these other ladies.
- We don't like that.
So, we can go on a date with him.
- Sure, yeah, we can go on a,
that doesn't mean anything.
Just one date! (Kenzie laughs)
Should we try a flirt?
- Yeah, let's try it.
- I don't know, I think he's telling her an exciting story.
Oh, does she not like him?
Oh no.
What happened?
- She just dissed him.
(Kelsey gasps) What?
- Oh no, oh, he walked away.
Should we let him go?
Wait, that was a hand, did you see the hand?
- He said, maybe we can hang out
with you later? - You're too good for him.
Kenzie, you're too good for him.
- I know, he was mean.
- We're going to write a song about him.
- Yeah, let's do that.
That's what I would normally do.
(Sim singing in gibberish)
- Ooh, she's getting better.
- She is getting better.
(both laughing)
That wink is classic.
Wow, we stayed out all night.
- Let's adopt a puppy.
- We're going to adopt a puppy.
What would be your dream dog?
- I love Goldendoodles.
- I have a Goldendoodle.
That's my Goldendoodle.
- Oh my God.
- His name's Chewy.
- He's so cute.
- He tried to help me wrap presents yesterday
by taking all the bows off of them and eating them.
(Kenzie laughs)
And I was like, "Cool, I don't have bows anymore."
Okay, so we're gonna adopt a pet.
We got Shelby, Cosmo, there's Cole.
- Cole? - Maybe name him Sprouse.
- Cole Sprouse.
I don't even need Cole Sprouse.
I'm just going to name my dog Cole Sprouse.
- Yeah.
We tried to download Cole Sprouse from the gallery--
- Didn't work. - But our internet
wasn't working, that's on me.
I didn't check in time.
(both gasping)
- He's so cute.
- Oh my gosh, look at this little guy.
- Oh my gosh.
Maybe we should just adopt him like, straight away.
- Immediate adopt.
- I mean, look at him.
- You have a dog.
- Yes, I do have a dog.
- You do have a dog.
- She's spoiled.
- My dog is also very spoiled.
The best ones are.
- My dog doesn't eat dog food.
She eats chicken and eggs.
- Your dog eats better than I do.
- Literally, same.
- What's Cole's last name?
- Sprouse.
- Cole Sprouse, the dog.
- Woo!
- We've adopted Cole Sprouse.
- Aww, he's so cute.
- Oh, so cute!
Maybe we should take the dog potty.
- Yeah, let's do that.
- That's a thing that responsible dog owners
are supposed to do.
- Definitely don't.
My mom does all that.
- Oh my gosh-- - Oh look at the dog,
just is like, bye.
- He's like, peace out.
- The dog's just going on--
(gasps)
- There we go.
- Your dog just peed on your balcony.
- So annoying.
We can go to the dog park.
- Are we going to bring anyone?
- We should bring Cole, Cole Sprouse.
- And no one else.
- Not Paulo.
- Paulo, you're dead to us. (Kenzie laughs)
- I like how our goal was to go on a date
and now I'm just going on a date with the dog.
I mean, it sounds like me.
- All right, so we're here at the park
with Cole Sprouse, our dog.
- Oh, here he is. - Oh!
He is so small I didn't see where he was.
- You didn't even see him, he's so cute.
Whose that guy over there?
- [Both] Justin.
He's cute.
- What's up, Justin?
Wait, you're talking to him about trash.
- Our poor dog is just like, (Kelsey laughs)
"What happened?" - Cole's just over here.
You can talk to both.
- What? - There you go.
You're just standing in between both of them.
- [Both] She's talking about her dog!
- The dog is listening for his own name.
- So cute.
- Wait, that's Marcus.
- Oh, hi.
- That's fine, hi.
- It's about dogs. - We said we were not
going to talk to boys, but he's cute.
- Sometimes you don't plan for these things.
We tried to force it last time,
but now after going after what you truly wanted,
you found someone to talk to.
- Yeah, and he's cuter.
- He is cuter.
You glowed up.
You leveled up there.
- Maybe we should flirt with him, see what he does.
(both laughing)
- This is a girl after my own heart.
(Sims speaking gibberish)
(Kelsey gasps)
- It's okay, we'll be his friend.
- It's fine, we'll just be friends.
What should we do about this?
- Let's just get to know him.
- Yeah, get to know him.
- They're both so embarrassed.
- Oh my gosh, we went at it a little too hard.
- We went too fast.
- Oh, he's-- - Bye.
Oh, he just bounced, aww man.
- It's okay, we made another friend, kind of.
- You know what?
But there's three dogs coming out right now
and that's pretty cool.
- Oh they're so cute.
I just want every dog.
I feel like I'm going to be that girl that grows up
and has 100 dogs in her house.
But I'm okay with it.
- You could adopt more dogs.
- In Sims?
- We can adopt like a ton of dogs.
- I'm down.
(Kelsey laughs)
- [Kenzie] I mean, why not?
- Every time we get rejected, we adopt a dog.
(Kenzie laughs) That's what this is about.
- Yay. - In the Sims.
All right, dog number two. - We can only adopt three.
- That one looks like a fox.
- I would-- - It is a fox!
- I like Sophie.
- Sophie.
- And this one.
- Doodle.
That's a Labradoodle.
- We can adopt him, he's cute.
- He's cute. - Perfect.
- These three-- - Because we have Cole.
- Rye, Sophie, and Cashew. - Yes.
- So now you're going to have four dogs.
- I'm so down. - You've now beat Marcus.
Marcus adopted three dogs.
- [Kenzie] Really?
- So congratulations, you adopted three dogs and a fox.
- Yes!
- You beat Marcus.
- Where are our dogs?
- Where is this woman with our dogs?
- Rude.
- Oh, there it is.
(both gasping)
- It looks like a Goldendoodle.
- It does look like a Goldendoodle.
- Let's just adopt it.
- Adopt that doodle, baby.
- Why are you outside?
- Stop being outside.
(both gasping) - Look at the fox.
- Whoa, he's cute.
Let's name it Malibu.
We'll just name him Mailbu.
- Aww, perfect.
After your dog?
- Yeah.
- All right, Malibu has joined the family.
- Ah, that's so cute.
I'm wasting all of my money on puppies.
- Yeah.
- But it's worth it.
- All right, what are we naming the fox.
- Well isn't there a character for the fox
in one of those kid shows?
- Like Fantastic Mr. Fox?
- I like that.
- Oh my gosh, it's too long.
- Oh, we can just put his last name as Fox.
- Last name is Fox.
- [Both] Fantastic Mr.
- Is his first name.
Please, my father was Mr. Fantastic Mr. Fox.
- I love that.
- Oh, it's so small. - It's so cute.
- But you wouldn't notice it.
- What?
(dramatic music)
- Whoa!
The Sims glitched so hard. - What just happened?
- Oh no, Malibu is drinking out of the toilet.
- They're so cute. - Cole and
Fantastic Mr. are now bonding.
Oh no, this is anarchy over here.
Look at these two playing? - Are they fighting?
- Oh, they're playing. - That one
just is taking a poo on your porch.
- Okay, I love how they walk.
- They are quite funny when they walk.
- Don't fall.
- Don't fall baby, we're coming.
We're going to make you our best friend.
Do you think you could handle all these dogs in real life,
better than in Sims life?
- Probably, I think so.
Maybe not four.
- Four is a lot.
- I want four dogs though.
- Yeah? (both gasping)
- Wait, I think we're friends.
- I think we're friends.
Finally, Sophie let us pet.
- Aww. - We did it.
- We like each other.
- Boom.
- That was great.
- So we may have not gone on a date
but we got a dog that didn't love us to love us,
and I think that's a success.
- That's all that matters.
- So what did we learn today?
- That puppies are more important than boys.
(laughs)
So before we let you relinquish control of your Sim life,
if you had to choose your current life
or the Sims life you just built,
which one would you choose?
- Probably my current life,
but I would want all of this to happen in my real life.
So pretty much the same, but just more dogs.
- Absolutely.
Tune in next week, where someone else will be
In Control with Kelsey.
(upbeat music)
