Sims4 Beef Wellington is named after J. Wellington Wimpy. (I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today) So sims4 Wellington is just cheap stovetop hamburgers.🤣🤣🤣
I feel like the smarter move would've been to make him a spellcaster so he could Repairio the stove instead of replacing it with money, usually it's a pretty fast spell to learn with Scruberoo too, to clean the stove so that the sim isnt uncomfortable.
Would repario work on fire damage, it's not something you can manually repair, so if the spell works that would be a huge benefit! I guess I know what I will be testing!
what if you snagged always welcome from the rewards store and did your cooking in other people's houses? get the perks of the landgraabs' fancy stove and, oh, it burned up? whoops, sorry friends, on to the caliente's hehe
I've played this scenario and I found that when I got the grillmaster reward trait from the reward store, my sim had way less fires happening. So that's a little tip if you plan to try this scenario again
One of the packs let’s you buy gifts from your phone, and a SimRay is one of them. It doesn’t prevent fires, but it lets you put them out instantly, typically before they burn anything or affect your hygiene.
Upgrading the bed is Definitely useful in a single or double sim household but when you want all your children sims to sleep through the night, not ideal
@@sierrarose9433 in that case I would make the kids do thier homework in the early morning, eat and take thier shower, then back to bed to sleep until school time. When they get home from school tired they can nap, or eat, then do something for an achievement task, then bed.
@@belakovacs708 oh do let us know, i was just thinking about this because its one of the aspirations i try to complete on as many sims as i can, not that fires are that much of a worry in-game lol
And thus, those weird, raw-only diets came into prominence! I do like that they're adding sillier scenarios, though. This feels more challenging and sims-like than a lot of them have so far.
This actually seems like an interesting scenario! I haven't played with scenarios before because they seemed kinda boring. I'll have to try this one though!
semaJ: Hey Firefighter, I'm having a dinner party, wanna come? Firefighter: Um..........................will there be cooking? As soon as I saw these upgraded Scenarios, I thought, "James'll be speed running his little heart out!" Sure enough, 47 minutes of gold, haha. It strikes me that folks who do this one could sell some of their foodstuffs from the selling table. It keeps them fresh if I recall, and if you mark them up a bit it might help cover the cost of the stoves. But James had a good strategy in Handiness, too, that had a double benefit. If you upgrade the Flavor thingy on the stove it helps the quality as well. I wonder if he ever noticed he got the expensive stove as I believe the last promotion reward?
I thought to let you know when you have the same career as another Sim the game gives you a hidden relationship with them and since you hadn't socialized with anyone else, the game picked Bob because of that and the other sim (Island Living Townie) he was asking about may also be in the cooking career too but not 100% sure.
I've been watching the Bigwallet series off and on while I do housework (on the restaurant one now) and there is a noticeable improvement in your editing style. Those older videos seemed like straight records without cuts where as this is a great example of when to trim things down in the name of getting to the point (cutting out the wood working, the cooking animations unless there's a fire, load screens, etc). Also it's very nice to see your face! I never realized I'd miss seeing your reactions as much as I do watching the old videos. Anyway, random comment, but I wanted to let you know that your hard work has been noticed and is very appreciated :)
That's what you'd think, but unless someone is playing with mods, the teens will be locked out at that level, because they cannot join the cooking career. So, i feel it's redundant.
Maybe it's to help new players who might not know about teens and adults having access to different careers? They have the same thing in the parenting aspirations. I think most people would be able to understand that without it being written into the aspiration but maybe they wanted to make sure.
I didn't know that. XD thankfully I rarely encounter fires in the sims. In the past couple years the only time I've encountered a fire was once when my sim burned some incense.
I'm working through this scenario right now, too. It was fun seeing you running into the same challenges (stoves cost money, needing to know two people for the dinner party, not working for four days) and the same realizations (should have lived in a tiny home, maybe there are some helpful rewards). Kudos to the Sims team-- this is definitely a great scenario!
I would love to see the million simoleans challenge with woodworking/handiness! Handiness going up means your needs would go up quicker super fast too from the upgrades so you could probably get it a lot quicker than with the gardening one or the painting :) i don't think you can sell the furniture at yard sales (i could be wrong) but you could still open a retail store and mostly live there and sell the tubs for a markup
If you wanted to try getting the connections reward trait before starting the career, I think the aspiration to work on first would be Freelance Botanist. That gets you the fireproof reward trait that would be very useful for this challenge.
This was honestly hilarious to watch. I love how James always has a great attitude even when bad things happen and he doesn’t seem annoyed he seems amused. Also how he always gets excited when every single townie contacts him. Also... “If I died that would be so annoying.” 😂
Ooooh I forgot they were adding new scenarios. I'll have to take a look at them and definitely try this one. The last couple about marriage didn't interest me but fires are more fun. 😆
As an accountant in busy season, I also resonate with being stressed for not being at work but also stressed from doing the work. This was an entertaining challenge!
Workaholic is the most bugged lifestyle I swear lol every sim I have with it is constantly stressed about missing work even when they're at work at this point I just remove the lifestyle asap every time they earn it.
I just want to say how much I love your videos and how much they make me laugh and smile. I've been poorly for 4 days now with a bad flu and I've found so much comfort watching your Bigwallet series (again) I'm up to the University series where you kill everyone with a party and that's my favourite. These little challenges that you post always make me so happy too. Your voice brings me such comfort so thank you so much 😊💖
Thank you mate for doing this one! you and Deli help me out on the sims stuff! and i do love yalls big island! i reall want to go down there and see almost all!
I love how in everyone of his videos vald comes! I've never actually had it happen in my game but I find it so funny how to happens every time without fail!
Really easy way to make a lot of money is getting the decorations box from seasons and rummaging through and selling them. One of my sims doesn’t have a job a solely use that to make money. Do it three or four times you usually end up with 2000+ simoleons!! ✨✨✨
I tried that with the cursed lot challenge and it still set the world on fire 🤣 I should have put it at the farther corner of the lot from everything else.
and if you cook on a public lot? Well, or on the street. it seems that my character did not catch fire, and the grill itself is unlikely to have deteriorated... I need to check it out
By the way, the Ides of March were recently, and umm...James speaking too soon reminded me of when Julius Caesar in the Shakespeare play was like "The Soothsayer said "Beware the Ides of March" but who cares, I am not going to light up on fire or anything, right?"😆😂🤣 Great video by the way, really made my day. 🙂
100% saw that coming with the expensive stove. Though if the sims got anything right, it's insurance companies gypping you out of your hard earned money by not paying out nearly enough for replacements.
Ik it's been ages ago, but abusing Harvestfest to become friends is my fav thing to do. You just need to send people thank-you cards thru the mail box :D it's faster and less laggy than taking pictures
*laugh* It lured you into false sense of security with the fireless streak, and then BAM! So much, so much of the time! But hey, you succeeded, and I'm glad. And yeah, you should totally do a woodworking Makin' Money run! Maybe that could be another "base game only" try?
Great Let's play James. It would've made sense to start in a "Tiny Home". Unless you could upgrade stoves to be fire resistant, you could've bought a barbeque grill. Or I wonder if the chef station is fireproof?
I've been having that glitch with the holidays not ticking off. Just go to manage worlds, come back, then they will be completed. It's super frustrating.
