She went on to play Sims 4 today. She was in Kayla's own words "a real try hard" in high and middle school (this is the origin of the good noodle meme. The good noodle meme also lead her to cover herself in 50,000 noodles when she hit 50k on YouTube. She got the idea of being a good noodle from Spongebob). She took multiple college credit classes in high school, (such as AP math), and was on her school cheerleading team for a brief period of time.

YouTube Origins
In middle school, Kayla and her neighbor and friend started a YouTube channel where they played with Littlest Pet Shop toys. This channel was called ToffeChocolate.

A few years later Kayla started uploading The Sims 4 videos on this channel, (with the neighbors permission), such as the 100 baby challenge and the first episodes of her Steele family. When the channel hit 10,000 subscribers her old neighbor kicked Kayla out of the channel and deleted the videos that Kayla made. Kayla then started her current channel, Lilsimsie, where she rapidly grew a big audience. Currently, Kayla is a little bit over 250k subscribers. She also has over 40 millions views. The first video she uploaded was “I was hacked: story time” which is now unlisted. As of now, the first video on her channel is the first episode of her Get Together series. The channel the neighbor hacked is now called theterriblestidea. She posted part one and part two and a few random videos of her and Kayla playing with littlest pet shop toys. She also posts Hamilton, Heather's and other random animatics. The hacker also posts podcasts. She states that Kayla lied about being hacked. The hacker says that Kayla gave her permission to take the channel over. The hacker now has over 20,000 subscribers.
