Challenge idea: to build a house using only the money borrowed from other sims. You can borrow money via gameplay if you have high enough charisma skill.
Totally am gonna try this! It'll be a slog spending a week mostly talking to a mirror in a public bathroom (friendly interactions only go so far), but once it's there should be fun.
Imagine being a maid and showing up at a new clients home. You walk in to them silently sitting cross-legged on the floor reading cookbooks surrounded by filth and sentient dust piles with nothing but the most basic furnishings, a bar, and an easel 😂😂😂
Could you imagine going on some show like "Hell's Kitchen" and saying, I've never actually cooked anything or even turned on a stove...but I consider myself a Master Chef because I've read every cookbook in existence!
I would Sims could vacation in a tiny home! You can pretend to do it if you have enough money (you just move to the tiny home, then move out) but a home can't be a rental lot and a tiny home at the same time, unfortunately.
I see everyone do this in their LP's.... If you need to complete 3 emotional paintings, keep the first one and enable the emotional aura from that painting, then complete your other two. It's so much easier, but everyone immediately sells the painting. Other than that, flawless lol. Loved the video and happy belated birthday!!
You could also have three easels and start all three paintings without completing them, and finish them at any point no matter the mood and still get credit as well.
Another way, similar to what jagsixteen mentioned but without the need for multiple easels, is to start the emotional paintings, stop and move them onto the wall/into inventory and repeat for the 3 needed. Then you can do them whenever. (I always do this myself haha)
This was so much fun to watch! There are a couple of other things you can do to boost job performance that I use all the time. First, start a club, and use club points to buy the perk that increases job performance! Second, reaching level 10 charisma gives the option to call your boss and ask for a promotion (easy to do while living in a tiny home).
Btw if you ever do this scenario again... I remember when I was doing it, I made my sim a vampire so they could sleep in the coffin and fast forward the days off LOL
@@makaylajones3782 I love the super sim series. the first few episodes are a bit slow because there is so much more to the game since when he started it, but once you get into it I'm obsessed. I'm doing my own challenge where I start with an infant lol
I beat this scenario by being a cold kitchen chef - I just made salads and whatever didn't require the stove. After finishing, the sim still has some unlucky chef hidden trait and sets fire to the kitchen pretty much every time she cooks. I kinda hoped this would stop after I won the sceario😆
I sort of wish they'd do more career scenarios. There are so many jobs I haven't played far, because my sims make more money being jobless. Work takes over everything. But if a scenario or challenge is attached, I might actually experience them. I did this cooking one immediately after it came out.
You can also use the wishing well to ask for a promotion, it will fill the performance bar and promote you the next time you go to work. That could cut some days from the challenge, but the sim needs to be in a good mood while making the wish 😊
How sneaky to use skill books and skill classes to max your skills and to only prepare non-stove dishes for your daily tasks. To negotiate a promotion, your sim either needs L10 Charisma or L10 Research & Debate. Really enjoyed this video!
If you only cooked salads, you wouldnt start a fire since you dont need to use the stove... this is making me consider the culinary career for my sim; i've been trying to figure out what she's gonna be when she grows up. planning to do an every lot challenge challenge with her, too, so that would make things interesting. finally, salads.
I did this scenario, naming my Sim after Bennett, the unlucky character from the game Genshin Impact (who sets himself on fire after charging up his attack), and the three-time F1 champ Niki Lauda (who infamously almost died in a fire in 1976). I greatly enjoyed playing it. Nice to see James doing it again!
@@shelby8101 ughhh it's so dumb 😂🤷🏻♀️ I wish they fixed baking so that everything that is actually baking in real life (like cakes, muffins and all of the cookies) would be baking in Sims too!
with the emotional paintings, i start one then drag it away from the easel straight away. once i have three of them the sim can finish it in any emotion and it still counts
If a sim is Emotionally Mindful, if you click on them you have the option to surge any emotion you want. It is a little confusing though since it always starts by at first giving your sim a super strong fine emotion if you don’t surge an emotion which is really annoying if you don’t know you can surge an emotion
@@LIIantonioIIL you get a specific light for specific packs. I don’t remember them off the top of my head but I think Pets is like a happiness or playful light, late night I believe is flirty etc. you might be able to look up which packs give which lights
@@LIIantonioIIL I know I'm a little late, but I looked it up in my game for you. It seems like every mood (except for romantic) has 2 different lamps, so you only need one each. confident - World Adventures, Showtime inspired - Ambitions, Supernatural focused - University Life, Into the Future romantic - Late Night playful - Pets, Island Paradise and then there's two lamps without emotions for Generations and Seasons, but those give +4 environment. But there's another way to get a strong buff on emotions. Those jungle berries from Jungle Adventures. You don't need to take a trip to Selvadorada, you can just buy them on the market in Henford and grow them in your garden (to get more). They are always in-season. Just eat one and you'll get a +3 buff on the corresponding emotion. There's also a +3 happy one, but the berries can't be stacked with each other. If you don't have Jungle Adventures, then there's also the new mushroom types from Cottage Living, they give +1 (confident and focused give +2). Sadly there isn't one for inspired and also none for happy, but you can stack those mushrooms with the jungle berries at least.
Good tip for mental fog and burnout. Nap a bunch for mental fog and for burnout buy one of the lounge chairs and relax for a bit. Really quick to get rid of it and it's actually more beneficial to get burntout because it's easier to get rid of than constantly getting mental fog
If you do this challenge again, I think something that could help is to maybe attempt completing the gardening aspiration since the naturalist trait gained helps with fires and stuff. Could be a thing to explore doing since you have to wait so long to get through the entire culinary career. Awesome video as always!
was minding my own business watching James and suddenly deli shows up advertising the sims curseforge app, took me a hot minute to realize she hadn't taken over the video
6:20 Can confirm that the plumbob lamps will be added to your sims 4 if you still buy the sims 3 today. (I got the starter pack around my birthday and some more DLC while it was all on sale, and was pleasantly surprised to find a few of the lamps in my build mode catalog when I got on :))
This scenario is so fun! I had my Sim throw lots of dinner parties for the satisfaction points, salads only, and bought Connections before starting the career. Her house was a similar set up. I forget how long it took me.
Or a step further.. Make water (it counts), it's free, and then drag the glasses to the money trash can. It's not cheating when it's in the game, right? haha
Tip for reading books with Sims 4: Queue up at last 2 actions for reading books (and other often tasks that autonomously gets canceled by the game such as things on the computer, homework), with the exception of the Infant Autonomy mess, this will keep your sims from prematurely canceling the actions like reading. You didn't seem to experience it as much in this video, but I've seen it on your other episodes. Have a good one
yeah, this. I cue a bunch. It might also be the setting in MCCC that's called "put away book fix" so they don't leave them laying around. My sim just wants to put it away almost as soon as they sit down.
fun trick: with level 10 charisma skill (or maybe level 8 or 9), you can request a raise from your boss at work. this seems to work every time if your sim is confident
Your Sim can't start a fire when making salads. So when I do this challenge, I make salads when the Sim is required to cook. And the Caprese salad is also the quickest thing to make in the game. It's considered a "gourmet food" too, which is good when gourmet food is required.
My first reaction to this video is: i love you James hahahah, i just love how you always find new challenges, new ways to play the game, to use old features and exploit features to their best potential. Thank you for all the hard work you put in your channel !!
That was fun! You should have titled it "Can I beat this scenario without starting a single fire?" because you did it! I remember the last time you did this one and it was fire after fire. Great job!
That Evil Dust Bunny taught James one of the truths about parenting they don't share with you... Just because you provided something with life doesn't mean they'll automatically respect you 😅
I did this scenario ages ago and only started one fire despite using stoves the whole time - but not on my home lot. I think the fire thing is tied to the lot rather than the sim, at least that was my experience. Also you could have used the days off to max charisma skill and ask for raise that way, it's pretty powerful.
Yes, you still get the lights if you buy the Sims 3 now. I recently bought them all just a couple weeks ago and they're all on sale for half off. I didn't expect the lights. I was just seeing if I liked the Sims 3.
There is such food as Onigiri (if I remember right) or salads that don't require the use of stove at all. And they still up your cooking skill, and they are perfectly safe :) I finished that scenario as a chef cook, the upper one (which is considered less safe)
Getting the sims 3 packs still give you the lights to this day! Finally bought supernatural and into the future last week and I got the two lights in the game :)
I wish they did that for people who have bought everything on Steam. I own all content for both games but never got those.. Emotions are pretty easy to manipulate anyway, fortunately.
For 18:00 that's how long it would take to go away at the current decay rate. It goes down to 9 hours because of the boost from doing a creative skill, but once you stop painting it goes back to the normal rate.
You're slowly optimizing this challenge, it seems! XD I look forward to you taking on any other scenarios that might strike your fancy again -- I mean, Makin' Money always works for a good quick-start Rags To Riches. . .
Mix drinks: yes, you can mix a "Water", and it counts, and it's fast, and it's free. If you just want to get it over with, that's a smart thing to do. I had a household where there was two bartenders, and it was really useful to just have them make glasses of water and get it over with so the bar was available for the next one.
I easily finished the challenge easily with cooking on grills in parks as well as the kitchen in the bar in Henford-on Bagley and the main building in the park in San Myshuno. Never started a single fire. If I tried to cook at my house however, fire every time.
I know James doesn't do gameplay mods, but I found one that lets you set your Sims' work hours, and now I can't wait to try playing careers again. I like a challenge, I wouldn't adjust the late night hours you get early in a lot of careers, but it just gets so boring around level 5 when you stop working 5 days a week.
Challenge idea: this same scenario, but can only skill up using "hot cooking" (not salads). Embrash the fire, prepare for the fire, and try to outlive the inevitable deaths
The burn out countdown will go down faster WHILE doing something creative. Once you stop that activity itll go back up until it counts down to zero while doing Nother activity
I used to have those plumbob lamps but lost them when I started playing sims 4 on my partners EA account because they had more expansion packs than I did, we've been living together for 3 years, It was only just now watching this video that I realized I don't have these lamps anymore
I got the sims 3 packs on sale on steam and when I added them to Origin it did work to give me the light things. Can't say if it still works but it did when I tried.
This reminds me of a story I heard where a guy faked being a surgeon and just before going into surgery, he read a medical textbook in 40 minutes and performed the surgery without fail.
For asking promotion/raise you need charisma skill and being confident helps. The option appears on the phone :) And you can do it every day I believe!
