Wow, James. Thanks for sharing my work and exploring the mod. A few thoughts from watching the vid, and things I will get on fixing. You might touch on this, but to some extent the expensive upgrades are something players who don't want to build can do as lot beautification/decoration of empty-ish EA lots is something that can be done a bit cheaper. It can at least make up for a couple upgrades. Costs of these upgrades scale based on lot size. I saw a couple bugs I need to fix (and will do so very soon). I heard about the star rating problem which is obviously high priority. The other thing I want to do is eliminate the guesswork. I'm going to be making a menu that shows you all lots in each zone, by zone, so you can browse for things that you can afford. You're spot on that 5-star will be about 10% of the lot's value, which is also tying into beautification so there is some value in investing into lots.
On the broken objects thing, it's likely I do have a bug here lol. Also, it's possible to upgrade things to unbreakable and avoid them breaking in the first place. So 5-star lots with everything unbreakable will mostly leave you alone. Also the mod now has options that will let you collect rent daily if you like, which DOES scale so it's not exactly a cheat. It will just be giving you 1/7th of the rent if you chose 1 day per rent cycle.
@@CarlsSimGuides Carrrrrl. I have been following your tutorials and guides since I was a teenager. You are genuinely a part of my childhood. Lots of love, and thanks for continuing to support this community!
I’m not sure if it’s possible or would make things too easy, but I think it would be cool to have Property Management that you could hire to fix the broken items and then they take like a 3% cut or something every time you get paid.
@@appl3slic3s If he calls her out, she just gives him a few thousand dollars. If she ends up actually paying out she gives you a lot more money, she gave me 25k.
Yes, in the real world, not so much in the Sims. I think this mod is so smart because it is fairly easy to make a lot of money in the Sims, particularly if you're farming dragonfruit or get into the money tree world. I like the idea of actually having something to do with all that money.
Sims rack up so much money and so quickly and its truly the best way to spend it. It makes a legacy feel more like a legacy too cause you're inheriting so much more and you can have that family that doesn't need to work or whatever. I mean, the Landgraabs are rich but they still have to work to maintain it so like... they're not rich enough to be enviable really lmao
@@lj2265 It would have been nice when the feature was added in Sims 3 that they upgraded the Landgraabs to actually be property owners and not have to work. I mean, weren't some of the buildings in Sunset Valley named after them as though they owned them?
Would definitely like to see this mod in a lets play - it'd make sense for Hazel and Chad, since she could go in and 'renovate' the properties. It'd also be fun to see a rags to riches lets play with Carl's overhaul mod. Would be cool to see how much harder it makes the game!
I second this suggestion! Maybe Hazel can temporarily live away from the Bigwallets for work, and have a mini-spinoff series while James wraps up the Cottage Living LP.
Its a shame as there is the mechanics for a game pack based on what this mod shows us here you could buy cheap property and using dream house decorator flip the properties for profit by holding auctions or open houses and trying the "sell" on potential buyers? but it wont happen EA just want to set up the old sim shop and milk money from us for useless things in kits. Most of the scenarios are lame too quite shallow and dont really offer anything new in game play sadly.
James: so i did some mining off camera and i got DIAMONDSS This is a really good mod for late game stuff, when you've done a legacy for 4 generations and have wayyyyy too much money but already too nice of a house
Buying and renovating real estate sounds very on brand for Hazel. It might also be a fun way to put that Del Sol Valley lot to use again by maybe converting one of the homes into a bar or pool or something.
If you ever need a quick inspiration boost you can select the Chef's Kitchen as a lot trait and anytime you que up food you get an inspiration moodlet for 4 hours, and you can cancel the food so you don't have to make it.
I love that James is checking Carl's mods, he also looked at the one that made the game harder I think, which is my favorite. Honestly, I have more faith in Carl's vision for Sims than EA. I don't know what's the new expansion for the game but if it's another no content type of thing I would love to see a series.
In the real estate world you learn expensive improvements don’t necessarily equal super high increase in property value. I feel like this was kind realistic in that regard.
Thank you for showcasing this mod and a big "Thank you!" for Carl for making this amazing mod. It's kinda sad that we used to have all that back in vanilla Sims 3, yet none of it is in Sims 4 even after 8 years. :(
I’ve been a member of carls sims 4 guide fan site. TONS of info, tips ect. Also includes same for sims 3 (with house/sims and a custom world, union cove, for downloads. And many challenge and sim stories. Worth a read!)
I like this video, and it'd be cool if it turned into a series. Lol Carl always complains about things in the Sims 4 being too easy and cheap, so I see why he made everything so expensive in his mod!
Same here. If it had been a short thing it wouldn't have been as funny, but that was the longest I have ever seen a Sim pee before, especially while standing.
I love your cottage living LP…would love for you to buy everything you can in Hanford, and just own the whole town, have Hazel redecorate the properties to make them more expensive, could be a lot of fun!
Oh yeah, this would be great as an extension of Hazel's Dream Home Decorator career! Chaz and Trenton get the bucks with their farm, she spends it on buying up every community lot she can find. XD Anyway, it's great to see you having fun with this mod -- gotta love when the community manages to outpace the game, huh?
4:30 this glitch has happened to me multiple times when I'm trying to get their charisma skill up, it's hilarious! I think they just seem to start... peeing whenever an animation (like painting) runs near a toilet.
I wish the Sims had different difficulties. I really do miss the days of sims 2 where fires were a lot more likely and you had to have a fire alarm if you wanted to save your lot. Or a criminal could come in and steal your stuff.
I actually don't miss that at all. I hated the burglars, and I get way to attached to the sims don't like when they die. I guess I play the game way differently from most simmers.
This is soooo fun. I cant wait to download this mod! I definitely often reach a point with my sims where they just have so much money and nothing to spend it on.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I still play Sims 3. One of my favorite things ever to do in a legacy is try and own as much of the town as possible. And when you play rotationally its even more fun cause you can have rival families buying up as much as possible lmao And even not doing that, its just so good to have something to do with all that money. And being able to have a family that's proper rich, like they actually wouldn't need to work because they live on the passive income. Thank you carl I can't wait for this to be public! We needed this in the sims 4 so bad
I think it would be fun to see you fill Newcrest with subscriber lots & then have Semaj go around buying them all. People could submit community builds for all the different lot sizes & you could set price caps for each so we'd have to build within the budget for Semaj to work his way up.
If James would be on board with the idea I've figured out how pricing could be done to allow a variety of builds, but also keeping them a playable size.
could it be done with the university dormitory lot ???? would be interesting if you could buy that lot trait hmmmmm would like to see it being affected by your career like if you were a criminal if there were special perks?
I'd like sims to be able to rent houses as well as apartments. Omg and what if Carl adds a slumlord aspiration where the goal is to make the most money with the least amount of upgrades/lowest environment scores 😂 (Irl I think landlords should be banned from owning single family houses lol)
@@narbiesims2997 I don’t mind when a landlord owns 3-4 properties in a college town or something and does the maintenance and gives a crap… it’s a valid career option. My problem is when investment firms buy up ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS and they aren’t even investment firms from that country. If the US doesn’t do something soon to cap foreign investment in real estate, we’ll end up like Aus and Can with even worse housing prices.
I've downloaded this mod right after release and have been waiting for you to make a video about it ever since :D Carl's mods are awesome and definitely worth being a Patreon but this one was a liiitle bit complicated for me at the start if I'm being honest lol. Thanks for the video
When mods are the real things giving the sims 4 depth and game play! I wish we had these items in the sims 4 would make the game much more playable! Love these videos
oh my god, I absolutely love this mod. Carl is really talented and also makes great sims content as well!! If you guys didn't know who Carl is, i absolutely recommend watching his videos here on youtube!!
This reminds me of Sims 3. I'm not sure if it was in the basegame or an expansion, but there was a real estate system and I used to love buying every lot possible
This mod would lend itself well to a Super Sim challenge, as you're working through the careerrs and skills (meaning you'll be making money) you can have an almost passive income and 400-500k for the average 5 star property is pretty reasonable plus you could work through that goal.
This was so cool. I’d love to see it used in an LP. I’d also love some kind of real estate pack from the Sims team. Being a landlord for a residential lot would be so cool.
I don't often agree with Carl on the things the Sims 4 needs, but this I agree with him is that this is sorely needed in the Sims 4. I definitely think I need this Mod.
Something like this mod is what I want, hope, and DREAM for a hypothetical Get to Work EP refresh. Community lots are fun to build and go to, sure, but owning them and running them like a genuine business - while not the best thing IRL - would be SO fun in the game, and something worth doing with all that extra cash that TS4 just loves to hand us, lol.
I’d love to see this include residential at some point in time. Combining the interior decorator career & flipping houses is like my dream game lmao..super excited to try this mod & see how it progresses?
Yes! A rags to riches with this would be amazing. Like the kids are tired of living in the country with cows and chickens. They want to own properties in the city. Like maybe all nightclubs or all retail stores. You could add more from the gallery.
I think this mod is perfect for Hazel because she's into real estate. Maybe turn her old house into some kind of lot and leave or "upgrade" (aka change) the debug houses. Like nicer debug houses & then maybe a gym as the "amenities" for example. If that makes sense😅😁
This mod looks AMAZING! If I wasnt playing on console, I’d sooooo want this mod for my 26 gen legacy family! They won the lottery 2 times and have wayyyyy too much money XD
Would love to see a let's play with this! I wish we could get mods on console because this would be perfect for my legacy I've been working on for some time now. Props to Carl who is amazing!!!
The bit in the beginning with the camera unfocused with your glasses on and then focusing when you took them off made me literally LOL. It looked like something someone would edit into a video 🤣
' You earn a million bucks, but what are you gonna do with it? ' Seems to me there needs to be a mod for funding medical research, establishing scholarship programs or funding orphanages. But by all means, The Sims 4 Monopoly Simulator is another idea for spending exorbitant wealth I guess..
You could technically do that. Buy a plot of land, set it to be a generic community type while you build it and then sell it so you can turn it in to a residential lot and put kid sims in with a caretaker adult sim. Thats one of the ways I'm gonna use this, have a philanthropic type sim build things the town needs. I was gonna renovate the EA worlds anyway but this gives me a good way to do it with a story. Instead of pulling money out of thin air in manage worlds mode I'll just have a sim use their money. You could technically do this with the retail system we already have now that my gears are actually turning lol Buy a lot as a retail community lot, build it up to be an orphanage or whatever you want and get rid of it. What we need now is a way to own vacation homes or additional residential lots because then you could continue owning and funding the orphanage when people live in it lol Then I could have my Yogi run a orphanage and an old folks home from the "donations" he makes leading yoga and meditation
become a philanthropist and donate it 🤣 or do what real rich people do become famous or you could have a main career such as acting or business and investing is what happens after hard work or you work as a gardener and win the lotto and become a property developer or an interior decorate that flips property and then sells it for a profit......so many scenarios to try out.
In "Sims 3", sims with the "Good" trait could actually donate to charities. You could also either buy properties outright OR become someone's business partner to gain passive income. Isn't there a donation option in "Sims 4"?
I love his new mods. If you really want a challenge his mods will do it. I love how Carl’s mods address the too much money 💰 issue! This video is great, thank you.
I feel like this mod would be so fun to use in the supersim challenge if that will ever be revisited again :) Max Power would love to own every single property in the world and flex about it I think!
OMG I was litterly talking to carl about this yesterday and hoping a youtuber would do a review on it so I could get a feel of how it worked so thank you James, cause sim realist did a real estate mod but it conflicts with the UI cheats mod and I use that UI Cheats mod daily so I was well excited seeing this mod. 😁 Also my sims has just over 200k moneys so was needing a way to get rid of it and this is perfect plus gives them and me something to do cause they dont need jobs so thanks again for this
Selling paintings with the street wall from city living is my favorite for making money! I always mark them up 300% and just keep grinding on the paintings and doing street sales and some of the masterpieces sell for like $10-15k a piece!
