everyone already forgot about scenarios in The Sims 4 

22:43 Grandma: *It's my time, I'm joining your grandfather... You've proved yourself... I'll be watching from above...* Child: ✓OK

I don’t mind the Scenarios I just wish more of them let me make my own sims. That’s half the fun for me

i’d love if Kayla played through all the Scenarios as a series! it would be fun to see them all

My biggest issue with this particular scenario is that, no matter *how* I play, no matter which of the three does what, Ava *always* gets more money than her two siblings.

The no shoe thing has to be a mistake, right? They were meticulous about her socks and tights and somehow forgot her shoes. It's giving no toilets and stairs to nothing.

we "forget" about Scenarios because the Sims team almost never give us new ones. I know that's the case for me, at least, because I haven't looked since the Family Fortune one came out, until maybe 4 days ago when I checked again to see if there was anything new. like it's a super fun concept and it gets me to use some packs/careers/etc. in ways i hadn't before, but they rarely give us anything new so i don't bother anymore. It'd be nice if they came out with some that are pack related, and they only show up if you have those specific packs, cause i'm sure they'd get people using them in ways they didn't realize they could. Then add in some that can be run on base game that can go out to everyone on a fairly routine basis. It's not like they can't do it, and while I understand they have smaller teams dedicated to pack development and "bug fixing" right now, they could probably still design and produce a few BGC options to push out. I don't want to forget about Scenarios, I just do because it's a lacklustre game feature that's rarely updated.

Hearing Kayla scream “Granny?! I broke her!!” And Poor granny glitched into a fainting position had me laughing hysterically 🤣🤣🤣

these scenarios are honestly really cute but they make me miss the sims 2 townies 😭 I still remember opening up strangetown and veronaville for the first time as a kid and reading all the family bios

I wish more of the maxis families in the regular game of Sims 4 were like this, like these guys have personality and drama reminicent of Sims 2. I remember what a challenge it was in Sims 2 to keep Angela and Lilith from throwing hands and getting into a brawl every time they shared space. It was so satisfying when you got them to get along.

i have done stuck in their shadow, 7 times now. scenarios are the best way for me to keep playing the game.

the plot twist w/ Eddie... my mans deserved better; granny wth???

Honestly I got so annoyed with this scenario- All the videos I watched, had Ava getting the most, so I deliberately made Ava get fired, have a negative relationship with everyone, and not get a significant other, meanwhile, I had the other two have maxed positive relationships with each other and grandma, get engaged, get jobs and become high level in their careers, and Ava STILL got the most inheritance by far. It’s not fun if it’s rigged, and I really really wanted to like this one.

1:56 the cat yelling is killing me lmaoo

my cat has also gotten super vocal in her old age! she’s always been pretty quiet but she just turned 15 and she’s always meowing now

i wish we actually had an in game system for divided inheritances and could assign items as wills like they did with the books, i like it for the scenario but i wish we could use it outside of it too

"argue about politics, wow this really is a family dinner" oh this is so painfully relatable

The scenarios remind me of the Sims (1) where whenever you wanted to start a new game you had to play as this blonde guy who’s face looked like a mackerel and his mother was like “don’t come to my house, you’re too old to live with me” and you had a card table as a dining room, the garbage TV, and a crappy fridge and bed and you had to find a job (in the newspaper) and upgrade your house to move on in the game.

Cats always get so loud when they get older!!! My cat is about 15ish now, and she used to be super aloof, but we think her hearing and sight have gotten kinda spotty and she constantly wants to be with her favorite person, so she’ll go to the living room and just start YELLING until my mom (her fave) will come up and be like “I’m RIGHT HERE”

I would love to see you play more of the scenarios I also think using them as townies would be so much fun as well as starting a legacy based off these sims

The idea that you can let the grandma down is such a gutpunch to me, but also, the DRAMA!!

I think Granny Cooks when she's Emotionally Stressed. So Relatable.

There are a few reasons why Scenarios seem forgotten, I think a big one is that many people like playing at least some form of Legacy game play, while scenarios are often a starting point and maybe a bit of a closed loop. They can also be overly scripted, like the one with the Martinez family had a point where all the kids grew up early to move on to the next stage which affected how I wanted to play them. They maybe also suffer from a few of the more interesting ones needing you to play a pre-made family. Arguably, scenarios feel a bit mishandled. They seem like the perfect format to do tutorials for new features, rather than having new aspirations with each pack. They could also be there to show how packs could combine, like a scenario that mixed bits from Growing Together, Parenthood, High School Years... At the moment, they all feel like they mostly rely upon Base Game stuff when they could do stuff with expansion content, maybe unlocked when people buy the relevant pack(s). Honestly, I wish this they handled lifelong aspirations in a set up like scenarios. The current set up feels like Skill bonuses, especially with how you switch between them. Could you imagine in the Athletic Aspiration that you have to complete certain markers by points, and maybe even have things like being forced to move to a different neighbourhood? What if they had different career options there once you left Young adult and maybe have to move either in to TV presenting, or coaching? The scenarios should be emergent, not just ones that start off a new save. There is a scope to do so much with them if they let you start a scenario if you triggered certain conditions. You could have a rival employee scenario show up in the Scientist career. What about a corrupt colleague story in the detective career? A scenario about an Author who gets a runaway hit, like a Sims JK Rowling? There is so much space you could do stuff with them. I'd love to see them let people submit emergent scenarios to a gallery if they let a script engine go public for them...

oh my god everything reminds me of my old cat. Snap is not my cat but I cry about them. Deliha was very vocal in her old age also, yowling around the house holding socks as trophies from her successful hunts.

I'm not really surprised that Ava got the most inheritance, because she sticks out to me the most responsible among the siblings

“Thanks rich granny rip” 😂😂😂💀

AH! i can't believe the coincidence of you playing this scenario!! i LITERALLY started this scenario a couple weeks ago and have been playing it (and some side stories around it) ever since! 🤣.... my version went MUCH different than yours tho lol. for anyone interested: i had them in the big house in the upper right corner of glimmerbrook. and let all the kids kinda do their own thing. i got them all jobs: Ava-lawyer (she was VERY strict about her regimen), Eddie- Tech Guru(had him do college first tho), Lila- musician, tho she took a different route than the other two and was kinda a leaf in the wind for awhile. i had her just hanging out, sleeping in, partying alot, bringing random dudes home, and doing freelance stuff with her music. Ava was the biggest jerk for the longest, tho she mended her relationships with eddie, then gram. she and lila just couldn't get alone.. eddie just wanted everything to go away, he made up with gram the earliest, and then with lila but hated Ava for a long time, and lila just tried to stay gone all the time. she mended things easily with Eddie, then Gram, but hated Ava for the longest. and even when they did get their relationship into the green, they would somehow start hating each other all over again(even when i didn't see them doing anything). she eventually went to college too and got into the musician career, but not before meeting a guy and accidentally getting pregnant. she had the baby and stayed in the house and everyone helped take care of him. Ava decided to go to college too while she worked, but a work scandal got her fired so she took some time off, finishing school too, before taking a detour into becoming a Spellcaster. lol (she got a voodoo doll from somewhere and kept using it, so i ran with it). she was focused and determined and rose thru the spellcaster ranks fast, even building a secret witch room in the basement that only she could get into because u had to transportalate there. they all mended their relationships with Gram very slowly but Gram ended up donating 10k to charity. all she wanted was a big happy family and she didn't get that before Grimm came to get her... the kids mourned her, but Ava felt that she deserved to have the family that she always wanted, so when she finally ranked up enough to learn to bring people back to life, she "necro-called" her Gram and brought her back. When Gram was alive again, they "talked about being dead"(lol) and Gram decided that she wanted to do the thing in this second life that she never got to do....... so she went to Vlad's and became a vampire🤣... from there, she had a vampire-vixen glow-up and had the new aspiration to have a huge 'vampire family'. she was turning people left, right, and center, lol. but she eventually fulfilled her dream of having a big happy 'family'. in the meantime, all the kids moved out except Ava. She stayed in the house, met another spellcaster, and they lived together for awhile before getting married then getting pregnant with a little girl. She mostly just works, but drinks potions to stay young and immortal. eddie had long since moved in with his new glutton gf (after half of his other love interests died randomly) only to find out AFTER moving in that she already had a toddler (lol.) they lived in vlad's hood, but soon moved to brindleton bay for...reasons... then ended up having two more kids and got a dog(who ran away at one point) and a kitten that they got from a litter that Ava's cat had. Eddie also weirdly developed an addiction to grilled cheese, so... that was a thing, lol, and he kept building servos that would blow up randomly. He finally fulfilled his dream of eating grilled cheese in space tho. Lila decided to commit her non-commital azz to her baby daddy and at first they lived in a crap apt in San Myshuno, but once her beau graduated college to become a teacher, and she got promoted high enough, they had enough cash to move into a penthouse in SM. They got one of Ava's kittens too and live lavishly. the Landrys still don't always get along, but they come together for holidays and birthdays, weddings, and deaths, (always at night tho cuz Gram has a 'sun allergy' 😂... except that one time Ava forgot and had her wedding during the day.. Gram came and burst into flame... i had to reset the game to save her and didn't want to cancel the event so i had Ava "morphiate" her into a bunny statue til sundown. lol. worked perfectly.😎) and sometimes just to hang, and now i'm playing one of the other scenarios while i wait for the kids to grow up (i like to let the neighborhood grow 'naturally' sometimes)... Ava's daughter seems to be on a path to become a very evil Spellcaster...... anyways, just thought i'd share my version of this scenario. it was fun. i also played 'cook that burns everything' one too but weirdly, she didn't start a single fire... it's interesting to see how people all play the same scenario so differently. Sending 💖

The amount of times I laughed out loud at this video! ESPECIALLY when Granny did a death drop while holding dirty dishes in her pjs lmao

Lila was already brave, the no shoes choice proved that😂

Oh I genuinely really hope we're going to get to see more scenarios played by you, this was super fun to watch!

Scenarios are cool in theory, and I even play them from time to time, but I’m not shocked they’re not super popular. I feel like for a lot of people a big aspect of the sims is the very individualized gameplay, and it seemed like the people who stuck to the more “challenge” based gameplay was always a pretty small subsection of the sims community.

Simsie: “you need anything” Snap: “yeeahh!” 😂❤

*looks at video title* TRUTHHHHHH

Oh, I played this scenario back in the day. I don't remember what the outcome was, but getting them to not hate each other after they nerfed photos was sooo annoying. I made them all play chess together all day all night basically.

I have played all the scenarios (as I use them when I'm playing vanilla after an update.) But my favorite is the Plant Sim scenario. I also like the ones about frogs (that is no longer available without a mod. And since I only play scenarios when the mods haven't been updated, that means I won't be playing the frog scenario.) I wish they'd do more that utilize different parts of the game that we might not use. But I can do without the ones that give you Sims to work with. (And I especially disliked the Family Fortune one because I could never get it to turn out differently at the end, no matter how differently I played it. And I deliberately was choosing different options each time I played.)

I would love to see a whole series of you playing all the scenarios!

I did this scenario I think over a year ago. I remember being at the point where I was fixing all of Eddy's relationships, except the older sister who hated everyone. So the younger sister and the grandma both liked Eddy, were neutral to each other, and didn't like the older sister. The breakthrough for the younger sister was having them dance with people for a bit and then they were able to talk without getting upset. The only way I was able to get the older sister to stop hating everyone was I literally just had the whole family dance for several hours.

Omg I always forget about scenarios! I have to try them again

I actually really liked scenarios, I hope they bring them back!

I play the ”new in town” scenario soooo much just because the storytelling is so cozy:”) it’s perfect for Henford-on-Bagley!

I'm really glad they went further with the scenarios, i tried to do one for fun once and was really disappointed the storyline was not all reflected in the sims relationship or anything else. This looked pretty fun!

Ava found the will changed it and unalived grandma😂😂

I loved this video today! It was a nice change of pace, to her everyday videos. The story between the grandma and her grandkids was very interesting and funny at the same time. I hope lilsimsie makes more videos about the scenarios again. Thanks for the amazing video today!❤😊😂

I actually find the idea of the mean oldest sibling character learning how to be nice and as a result receiving the sincere trait in the end. This was very fun to watch lol, I'd love for more scenarios/stories.

We need a series of you doing all the scenarios 😂

i love playing scenarios!! my fave is the aliens stole the parents hehe

Nightmare legacy challenge merging this scenario could be fun!

I'm glad you did this cuz I've been eyeing the scenarios for a while it wasn't really sure how they worked. This has been very helpful.

im currently doing this same scenario with the Landry household. I found giving each other gifts like a flower arrangement constantly back and forth and apologising to each other worked the best and also worked quickly to get everyone's relationship into the green and now currently in my game two of the siblings have become best friends. I haven't figured out how to heal the negative sentiments yet

8:21she’s so real for that 😭😭

I love scenarios, it really helps the story telling.

Please do more scenarios this was so fun!

I've only played 2-3 scenarios and that was seveeral years ago, but what an absolute blast watching you play this scenario! You inspire me to try out a few scenarios, adding the household of each completed scenario to my current legacy challenge. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love that you pleayed with the scenarios. I only played with them once quite a while ago and got bored. It seems like they improved the gam play, so thats good to know! Also fun to watch :)

14:48 had me giggling a ton. "OH i broke her ohmygod oh dear"

That was actually really fun! I haven't done any welcome scenarios myself cause I thought they would be boring but they are really well done, I'm gonna try some of them

no one else will relate to this, but i just got my wisdom teeth taken out and have been rewatching old simsie videos. tell me why i JUST watched the video of lilsimsie building the house she is playing in? super cute build, just stunned me for a second!

I would definitely LOVE to see you play through the scenarios! You're so fun to watch! 😊

i love scenarios! the townies they make for them are fun are pretty unique. And i like seeing the little scenario objectives list fill out, i even have a mod that turns your NSB challenge into a scenario which makes it so much easier to make sure im doing everything before i progress to the next gen!

My biggest complaint is that this scenario can be buggy and not tick things off like when I played it wouldn’t check off the negative sentiments even thought they were healed

Omg I love this! Please please play through more of these. I have decided to replay the sims again.

My sister told me about the movie she watched with her friends last week "how to become a millionaire before grandma dies" and I thought of this goddamn scenario 😂

I've played one so far, I think they could do so much more with these

My cat got really vocal in his old age too! Hearing Snap's loud meow was sooo cute ❤

“Crying in their childhood bedroom” relatable lol

I’m so glad you played this scenario!! I tried it one day and gave up 😂 I’m excited to see how yours comes out!!

it's so interesting seeing lots of people in the comments loving scenarios! i played it once when they first came out and found them incredibly boring. if i don't have free reign in my game, i feel super bogged down and i don't have any fun. how cool that we all play a lil differently!

Fun! I've only tried 2 scenarios so far - I like the idea of completing them & having them as townies though - that's brilliant 😊

I had a save file for all the scenarios and filled the world with the scenario families, it was an interesting way to change up my game without buying any new packs

really enjoyed this video, it actually encouraged me to try out the scenarios.

We need a mini series of simsie playing each challenge

Honestly this scenario looks pretty fun to play with I might try it😭

The part with the grandma bugging in the bed absolutely killed me 🤣💀 just the casual “oh no I broke her” and her position; all hilarious

simsie i was JUST thinking to myself as i scrolled through the scenarios that i should request you revisit them. its giving psychic!!!!!

GRANNY NOOOO! 😭😭😭 I weirdly started a scenario about two days ago so this video came in at just the right time. I've never bothered with them before. I really hope you do a series of this. It's fun!

Im so sorry ive just started but i cant get over your pony! Its so beautiful i love it okay okay now time to watch 💖💖

wooooaahhh i started playing the landry household scenarios a few weeks ago literally just shut off my computer playing it right now and it’s crazy this video pops up

they literally couldn't avoid getting angry😭

14:48 I THOUGHT GRANNY DIED LOL 😂😂😂

Damn, we really did forget about scenarios haha. You've inspired me to give them another crack. This video was straight up chaos!!

I love watching you play scenarios it reminds me to use them and also it’s super entertaining

I haven't forgotten them; when I want to play a new game, but don't want to commit to hours of the same "family", I like to play a scenario.

I would love to see more scenarios as a let's play! Definitely in favor of adding these sims as townies :)

scenarios are for ppl like me!!! who LOVEEE the sims, and loves building, loves CAS, but also… kinda gets bored with gameplay even if im having the most fun ever!!! I just love scenarios because they give me new sims with a back ground and something to fulfill !

Yes! I'd love to see more scenarios. This looks so fun.

These really ought to be selectable from CAS when you start creating a Sim. Once I'm in-game, even if I'm making new sims, it's not like I'm going back to the main menu to look at stuff, so I never see those scenarios. If they were easier to define, modders would have an absolute _field day._ If they don't want to give us more of them, they should at least let us make our own!!!

The crazy thing is I haven't played Sims in like a year or so, and this is the exact scenario I picked to try and get me playing again. it willwork, I just happen to be very sick rn so I didn't get far. I've done um, the stuck in the shadow one before, ended up with them hooking up but not getting married. and I did a family one where you had to get the kids back on track, but it freakin' broke on me and it wouldn't let the parents advance.

omg this was soooo entertaining!! please do more scenarios! love your videos and everything about you kayla❤❤❤

I love the scenarios where I _dont_ need to make my own soms. I like getting to know a rando :D

hahaha it's so funny you put this video out 'cuz i just started messing around with scenarios a couple days ago

I remember playing the unlucky chef scenario before. I created a character I liked from one of my games, and they're canonically terrible with cooking. My only complaint was the constant fear of fire. They're not the type to set things on fire purposefully, but they don't mind if things are on fire. Still fun though.

This seemed really fun! I wish they would go back and add more- maybe pack specific scenarios? It could be a great intro to something like Get Famous or Werewolves

You're the only one finishing this scenario. I enjoyed this.

Snap really said “HI!”

I played the Power Couple scenario recently. It’s basic but it was fun to craft a storyline around!

Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!

I have a rotation save with all my scenario families. I like most of them!

Incredible that you post this after I was /just/ watching some of your scenarios videos from 2 years ago and wondering if EA has done anything with them since

I LOVED scenarios. The Unlucky Chef one was so much fun to play through, probably one of my favorite memories of The Sims 4. I wish they went more in that direction, having harder scnarios that change how you play the game instead of the "this is how the game works" scenarios. Also I hate that they don't have like a checkmark or something to indicate you did a scenario already.

Bro I just did this scenario!! Literally I'm still playing that family. We are so connected lmao

It's kinda scary seeing lilsimsie upload a video about the scenarios after I just started playing one out of not knowing what to do and rediscovering the scenarios and then she just plays exactly the same one haha
