james how about a reverse rags to riches when you start with an extremely expensive house and 0$ and try and keep up with the coming large bills without selling any of the house objects !
So Batuu has its own currency- however some of the items you can buy/craft/earn there do sell for simoleons once you come home - but I think it’s pretty low value for high effort. Like the droids you build, etc.
41:26 VLAD of all sims really had the Audacity to call and be angry about Semaj drinking plasma without permission, as if Vladdy Daddy isn't singlehandedly responsible for EA having to add a "disallow vampires" option on front doors 😂
In three years of me playing, Vlad has never bitten any of my sims without permission. He has broken in to do my washing up and take my trash out a few times though. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed. I want a nighttime Vlad attack.
@@StormEyes1991 Same! he only came by once when I first bought the pack, stood on my sidewalk for 10 minutes, and left. I want to see what all the fuss is about
@@StormEyes1991 Were your Sims asleep when he came in? I don't think he can wake them up. I've never actually had him break into a Sim's house, but I started playing around August this year, I think they patched it.
I've actually found that having a mermaid Sim is the best occult to have in Selvadorada because they don't mind getting rained on and they can sleep in water, which also fixes their hydration need so they never need to shower.
I actually wanted to study archeology but my mom said she wouldn't support that because it just isn't going to give me a nice life🙃 Tbh I think you can make enough to live but I also kinda get her
Definitely took the difficult road.. Science career, just to get the cloning machine, then Selvadorada- just to get the treasures (which there are more treasure chests outside of the temple, by the natural baths area).. and then clone the treasures (or any high priced items) and sell on the table. That would have been the speed run to one million.
@@user-ik7vm1kt6q You wouldn't need to. The challenge is just to make money quickly. Having a career is allowed, it's just that careers aren't usually the quickest or most interesting way.
@@SomeoneBeginingWithIIDK I think it's the sun soothing one. It's for sunburn but I tried it with a vampire out of curiosity and the effect lasts a few hours once you take the mask off
@@rociorodriguez589 If you up your vampire lore you can also learn to make a drink that prevents burning from the sun for I think around 8 hours. You need a bar though, and it might go bad if you try to stock up, I haven't tested that.
@@ILuvAyeAye I know, but facemasks are easier. To do the drink you need the bar, the ingridients, mixology skill and vampire lore skill. Too much fuss if something shows up and you're not ready, or if you have a lazy vampire. And no, you can't stock up. Also, depending on storytelling I sometimes don't want my vampires to have any lore skill... It's nice to have options. The fastest, hassel-free are facemasks
True story: my vampire sim's first Winterfest was spent fighting Santa for presents on the top of the pyramid when I found out that public lot and lack of witnesses made it possible to do over and over again! XD Shame that lots of them was automatically sent to the house inventory, so it wasn't possible to keep track of the loot in real time.
A dreary world filled with rain, gloom and unhappy plants seems the perfect starting point for a challenge filled with vacations! =) I love this series.
watching the beginning of this video and I’m looking forward to when James realizes that vampires burn in the sun and his sim is an archeologist whose entire gig revolves around digging in the sun 🤣
There are treasure chests in the outdoor areas, the crashed airplane area for example, which is a lot faster than grinding through the temple each time.
Plus if you buy enough things from the selling tables in the square, and have high enough skills in a few key areas, you can get treasures pretty consistently going through the gates.
@@Ellary_Rosewood yeah, especially since every new world can be vacation AND living world in the same time. I don't understand why Selvadorada and Granitem Falls are not included in this change😔
Mine as well! Some gripes though: you are blocked from the temple for several days after picking treasure chests clean (no full collection for you. Say hi, dupes), cleaning and authenticating artifacts takes FOREVER, always having a door or 2 blocked each temple run is frustrating, if you and don't get me wrong I enjoy the conventionality, properly supply your sim with survival gear - there is no point to living in those awesome locations we pay much money for.
I’ve actually been playing out the archeology thing with a sim but I’m having them go to university before heading to the jungle. Get the skills up to par. I’m glad I came across this video, it had a lot of great tips
@@sophiecarbone4977 I’m only into the second term so I haven’t seen a specific class for archeology but the other classes will give you the skills you need to be successful in the jungle. Logic, fitness, charisma, and there’s even a class for Selvadoradian culture.
Loved the video, as always ! Just so you know, there is treasures in a lot of places, so you didn't had to reset the temple. If you went exploring the jungle. You could have find a lot of frogs and plates in every 'secrets lot' like the plane crash, the ominiscan bath and such... I actually got a million this way very quick only with treasures and the selling table ;)
I started the no skills no problem scenario with archaeology only and selling those plates on the market table quickly got me to 200k. But then my painting club made up of NPC "friends" was making 50K per day so I just stuck with that to finish.
Every day is a holiday! Set a holiday each day with gnomes, gifts and father winter. Although make him father summer, cause we’re in Australia. Put the gnomes in your sims inventory after appeasing. They will continually drop seed packets into your household inventory. If it’s in the game it’s not cheating. Open the gifts in a gift pile. Father winter will add to it each day. Also ask him for a gift. Sell smaller gifts at a yard sale. Sell the bigger ones normally. With more gnomes added each day the seeds really start to add up quickly.
These speedruns are hilarious. But, I think it would be interesting to see James do this challenge (whatever fun or cool way he thinks of) but he also has to have some kind of okay looking house, maintain some friendships, be moderately clean, and eat on a regular basis. Yeah, basically playing the game but I think that might be the biggest challenge yet for him, lol
But that would take so long that it couldn't be a single episode, turning it into essentially a rags to riches let's play which he does all the time already...
You can also go to "granite falls" and after watching that giant beaver statue they have there you can make smaller statues in the woodworking table, they sell for 6000 simoleons in the selling table (with 300% margin) and with bigger fabrication skill they go for an higher price.
literally 2 minutes in and the fact ts4 makes you wait through a loading screen to get to your "house" that's not only Right beside you but also literally just an empty lot will never cease to confuse and annoy me 😭😭
Side note : «Fledermaus» is «bat» in German. As a vampire, you should look around Vlad's backyard. You can find some plasma fruit trees. Plant them and harvest the plasma fruits. Eating them will help with your thirst. Have as many plasma trees as you like. Those emotion berries will give you some emotions when eaten. You can also plant them and get more emotion berries.
I think adding another sim to the household like you did in flower arranging would have been good. When you build a site, multiple sims can dig up the stuff. Plus one could be selling while the other authenticates.
I’m really enjoying this series, especially when James uses occults. I wonder if there are advantages to being an alien or mermaid for these challenges
I don't know why this made me think of this, but ever since watching James, I always say Katrina like "KATRINA!" when I see her when I'm playing. Makes me think of him every time lol
I think the huge friendship gain from photography is from the Mosquito pack. I don't have Mosquito and I can take photos of sims but they don't pose for me, and it doesn't cause significant friendship gain.
Aw... this autoplayed from Simsie's latest video and I didn't figure out that it was an older video until he started taking photos.. I miss photos of friendship!
Even though you stopped with the archeology stuff at the end, this was still a hilarious video. I loved how you'd start a yard sale then feed on your customers. ROFL!
I don't understand when people say that there's no gameplay in this game I've been watching this for half an hour now and it's a whole lot of stuff that I never even thought to do
I've been having a rough day,, but hearing 'Vlady Daddy' made me so happy. I'm so glad it was at the beginning of the video too, because I was able to enjoy the whole thing.
I personally prefer Vampires Super Speed, not only does it look cool. Its actually a bit faster not having your sim take time to do animation to poofing in and out of the bat form, sometimes instead of literally moving 2 squares. Nice thing about going on vacation there is that you can get your Gardening Skill very high by dealing with those vine-overgrown doors, so no need to wait for it to up to a useful level by doing low grade stuff.
If he'd had married in the end, I coulda made a "gold digger" joke :D But hey, Vlad is a relic in himself, so no (self imposed) rules broken to that point X)
Love these challenge videos! I would have planted plasma fruit which would have grown fast on the tiny lot, and then taken that with me into the jungle so I didn't have to leave to find Sims to drink from. I also would have just skipped the dig sites and raided the temples over and over to sell the big ticket items on the table. I know you didn't want to do the witchcraft path again, but imagine Copypasto with those big ticket items. Once you had that spell, one trip to collect a bunch of frogs and plates, copy them over and over and one million would have been easy. I'd love to see you plant oversized watermelons and lettuce only, can them (canning them only takes seconds because you only have to chop, no cooking involved and each large one produces 12 jars worth $100-$200). Also, for any of your rags to riches scenarios, you can buy small ones at the market stand for five bucks, can them quickly and sell the jars to make a couple hundred. Much faster than gardening or fishing to get started. You can also sell them on the selling table at 300% markup and make even more money quickly.
The Selvadorada route works well when you're doing the No Skills, No Problem route, as you can go through the temples and dig for artefacts and get decent payback without any skills. Yeah it takes a lot of tedious work but it *does* make it go faster.
😂 I thought you were being ambitious when I saw the title! You can try getting rich with clubs! Like letting them paint, garden, and selling the stuff they make 😇
Really? Food can be sold on the selling table instead of a retail store. Baking/cooking might work then. Retail stores take too long to sell at 100% markup and require too much interaction to be worth it.
@@charitycodes she did say do a retail store… but I’ve sold cupcakes and wedding cakes on the selling table, for the 300% markup… I have a mod though, so I’m not sure if that’s why I could do it or if it’s available in game…
@@chellebean8925 it's available in game. I sell gourmet food on the table all of the time. I just didn't think anything sold for more than a few hundred Simoleons except Ambrosia which isn't practical to make. You could duplicate it I suppose, but then you need magic copy-pasto or a clone machine. If you're doing that, then you can duplicate anything high value and small to sell which reduces the method to just magic or cloning.
