I really hope James sees this. Tbh I (and probably a few others) already said this as a reply to his other toddler challenge video and now I was SCREAMING. (No, not really, but it was frustrating to watch haha)
he's done this before omg I keep seeing these comments but he did it and it doesn't actually raise their potty skill fast at all, or in comparison to being shown by an adult which is 2x the speed
@@kweeniepiez I did not know that! :) but ehm, to be fair… 7 toddlers and 1 adult means there’s 6 toddlers doing nothing. They can at least all watch the one toddler that is being taught by an adult, right?
i actually get all my toddlers' potty skill done first (like, literally right after they age up, lmao; i just spam the interaction) because once they can use it on their own, i can basically just make them take care of themselves, and the adults are free to go about their day however they want except when the toddler needs a bath.
One tip: for some reason the imagination tents recharge energy faster than any of the toddler beds, so it’s better to just have them sleep in the tents
I noticed that too. And another thing is that when you're playing in an apartment, the toddlers apparently aren't disturbed by loud neighbours when they're sleeping in the tent. Or at least mine were never bothered in the tents so I quickly replaced all toddler beds with tents.
I am going to accept this as lore onto why there is so much Semaj Renrut's he is raising each one of these to become their own individual millionaire scenarios and other one off videos lol.
Toddlers sleeping in tents get 2 up arrows for sleep (not nap). Toddler beds are only 1 up arrow for sleep. Always have toddlers sleep in tents, even the play tents. If you really want to minimize sleeping time, you can have them nap in the highchair for 3 up arrows, but it's hard to get them not to temper tantrum for being stuck, which gets them taken out by the adult.
@@mariebrown4966 even queued up, they will sometimes cry between naps autonomously. You also can't queue naps unless you pause it. A napping toddler won't have the option to nap again.
@@emma-hz4xm Little Miss Sam has a mod called "Live in Business" that allows to run a business from home. One of those businesses is a daycare (for toddlers or pets), but you can also run your own gym or cafè or tons of other stuff.
toddlers learn much faster when they are in a happy mood. there is a lightshow lamp that makes toddlers and children happy when they are in the same room. really helped my 3 toddlers gameplay. I also always start with movement skill (on slide ofcourse) so that they can walk like normal people speed. they are sooooooo slow when they can't walk and everything takes ages and they get angry because the walk to the fridge or bed takes so long that they are starving when they get there.
"Is it the puddles?!" kind of feels like the new, "is fishing fun?!" eta: James is just really backing himself into a 100 baby challenge shaped corner, huh?
You should take out the serving table (like the one that's used for weddings) pay $250 to fill it with food and then drag it to the fridges! It's so quick when you need to feed a full household
I love the army of mini Semajs. Imagine a real life parent calling all their kids their own name lol. Btw I've been having the same issue with sims suddenly not being able to get through a door, when they've been going through just fine before. Only fix I've found is to delete the door and replace it with a new one. So annoying... Guess it's just another new bug.
I mean... My grandmother is called Maria and all of her seven daughters are also called Maria, so... The 5 male sons are called Joseph (except one, that is called Éber)
There's a little light show item in electronics that if you turn it on will give the toddlers a happy moodlet if they are in the same room, which helps since they are so often in bad moods.
James took one of the hardest things (raising tods) and made it look so easy! XD Also, toddlers can watch each other potty to learn the potty skill as well
Of course the bathroom wouldn’t work - it wouldn’t be the Sims 4 if it didn’t randomly bug out during a game. Epic vid- can’t wait for a Semaj 100 baby challenge 😜🤣
You could have done the watching technique while working through the potty training. They would have gained both thinking and potty skill watching each other potty.
I love how Semaj is helping the only toddler that can pee on it's own (independant toddlers don't need potty help) whilst here are four other toddlers that really need to go :')
Loved the house but agreed that this seems in preparation for 100 baby challenge 😆 and that might not be as hard if he can raise 7 toddlers at once because I think the most toddlers I had in 100 baby challenge at once was 4...
i managed to go through 30 something kids off the grid always with 1-2 toddlers, 1-2 children and 1-2 teens, sometimes an adult (at one point i had enough leftover space for that kid to have a kid). but i only have the basegame so they dont throw tantrums and shit. if you use those things to give a bigger chance of twins then it becomes chaotic :/
Yay! This is my favorite challenge, I did it twice because it's fun lol. Something I did was take a dozen or so children's drawings, put them on a wall together, then had the kids all say "what's that" mixed in with "watch". Several creepy hours of staring in game, and then they have thinking skill
Ah, impressive James! But yes this is the time I challenge you to beat me - under 1 sim day! Only because I love watching you do these challenges and want more toddler ones 🤩 I'll give you one of my expert tips tho: multitasking. Start out with big Semaj pottytraining one by one to level 2 while the rest are watching big Semaj (it goes even quicker than watching eachother). And line up the watching in pausemode so you can watch the same person over and over. Then focus on movement as they will move around quicker with higher levels. Last but not least - tiny home + studyspot and child play are *chefskiss* I've moved on to doing this rags to riches style so there's another fun torture.. I mean challenge for you! Can you keep the social service away? (Of course it's not allowed to leave any kids behind(in daycare) 😁 Best of luck if you try, I'm looking forward to your next videos no matter what they are! 🥰
@@redyankeerose I'm sorry but I don't have a video. I wish I could talk better english then maybe streaming would be a possibility, lol 😂 All 5 skills yes. It just came down to Toddler science and picking up tips and tricks from different streamers to nail the 100 baby challenge as fast as possible, and as that got "to easy" it expanded to maxed skills and some 7 toddlers in between for a small change and more challenge. But here's a list of what I use: 🤔Thinking - watching adults. 💩Potty - pottytraining ofc (all the way if an adult is free to help). Also the toddler ask the adult to avoid bad moodlet because toddlers wanna do what toddlers wanna do! 🏃🏾♂️Movement - toddlerslide (3 slide actions mostly keeps them doing it over and over if mood ain't too bad). 🗣Communication - big teddy. 🎭Imagination - toddlertent (previously reading for them all at once which works good too). I also torture them with no sleep or food unless the bar is REALLY red 🙉🤫 For food I use the serving table - no time to cook when going speedy. And as mentioned above I'm using tiny lot with lot traits studyspot and child play. Also lining up the actions and pausing frequently to check that everyone is doing stuff and lining up more as needed. Bonus - if your adultsim has finished one of the family aspiration (happy family or something like that I believe) they get an bonus trait - called matriarch or something like that, which makes the skills skyrocket when the adult is close and triggers the moodlet for the toddlers (and kids). We're talking potentially full pottyskill in one teaching with all the above. I don't use it in 7toddlers but in my 100(++) baby challenge the mom has it and it's wild! Last tip - if you're not set on taking care of them all by yoursimself then invite the welcome wagon in and put them on pottyduty! 💩 I hope some tips can help or inspire even without video ❤️
So happy seen James evolved from the first time around when he did the challenge years ago witch was when I found him to now when he just slaying it. Keep up the good work you doing 👏
A tip for potty training when you have multiple toddlers. Once a toddler is on the potty switch to the sibling toddler and in the chat, menu look for "watch". The "watch" option should now have a potty seat icon next to it indicating it raises potty training skill instead of the thinking skill. This way you can have your already trained toddlers train your not trained toddlers without any assistance from the parent. You can, of course, have the parent be training one and all the other toddlers watch and gain the skill. Learning potty training this way does not gain the skill as fast as potty training normally.
Having a butler for all the toddlers is helpful. They will clean up the mess, can provide someone else for the toddlers to "watch" and I think talk to, and can make food. I think there's a couple other perks as well.
I'm definitely going to start using the watch option for thinking. I play with multiple toddlers a lot and this will really help because I always dread the thinking skill. Also, I've been playing with the motive decay turned up to 200 percent I think, to make it a little harder. It's been really fun. I watched a different video with it on 500 percent, but that's definitely too hard for family game play lol. It would be fun to watch a challenge with one adult and 7 toddlers with motive decay at 200. See if that could be managed while getting all skills maxed out for the toddlers.
"Send your toddlers to the Semaj Daycare Center! They are going to be neglected, miserable, dirty and possibly hungry, BUT! They will turn into geniuses over the weekend. Also, they will come back thinking their name is Semaj, since we can't be bothered to learn their unique names. COME ONE, COME ALL!!"
This really highlights how little actual challenge Sims4 is - like, I remember in Sims2 that toddlers would get too tired after a while to learn to talk/walk (and the teaching sim would too), and if they didn’t have to go potty they would refuse to sit there...
Ever since the last update I have had issues with toddlers taking baths as well. No idea why 🤷♀️ you can use the sink to wash them! I don’t remember the actual interaction name but you can clean them in a sink!
For anyone who wants to do this one, the multitasking makes it so if you give everyone a Wabbit Tablet and set them in a circle on the pillows around a coffee table with fruit cake on it, they talk/babble to each other, work on whatever you set them on on the tablet, and when they are hungry you just send them to get the fruit cake, because they don't have preferences, so they will eat it and not complain, get energized from sugar rush (use this for movement while it lasts) then when they get cranky from sugar crash, either set them down to sleep, set them down for a poop, or parent them through the anger. And yes, you definitely want Independent toddlers... clingy ones are the worst in this situation...
I love how Semaj sleeps in a tent to funny..kids are comfy he's sleeping on the ground lmao!!! Think I'm gonna make a daycare and do this challenge..you made it look easy when I know it really isn't haha!!
Toddlers toddlers everywhere, being trained like they're in the army! XD Seriously, though, that was impressive. You've gotten handling seven toddlers down to practically a fine art! Well, except for the lack of attention and the gigantic mess, but -- nobody's perfect. XD
James, you make every sim 4 video fun to watch! 😊. I smile and laugh at every video that I watch of you!. Keep doing what your doing, your doing great! 👍.
Sometimes using bath tubs for toddlers or dogs just don’t work with walls because of the required space for two sims. Plopping it in the middle of the room or outside usually resolves this. It’s ridiculous but it does work.
Wasn’t there a celebrity or maybe an athlete who named all his kids after himself? This build should be exhibit A for anyone who says Semaj only uses black&white in his builds 😄 ”I don’t like this attention seeking phase they’re all going through.”😂🤣🤣😂Sims nailed some aspects
A radio on the kids' station is what I make all my toddlers do first. All of them can dance at once, and it keeps them from wandering while I potty train one at a time. Idk how quickly it increases movement, but it's better than waiting forever for wobbling toddlers
Watching while trying to clip my real life baby/ toddler 's nails.... she's mesmerised by you which makes a great distraction (maybe remembers your voice from the womb ... i watched a lot those last few weeks 😬 including twitch)
I'm loving watching you do the challenges and I like the thumbnails you're doing for them! I'm torn between really loving and getting a real kick out of you using Semaj in 7 different toddler forms or wanting you to use other simmers toddler forms, like in that recent multi-player stream you did for Gluon. Either way, these have been a lot of fun while we wait for a new pack LP
Over the past year or so, it seems like they've been trying to add more challenge to The Sims 4. When werewolves came out, I made a werewolf couple who then had twins. The mother died of hysteria caused by that one temperament, leaving the father to raise the kids alone, while dealing with fury and the toddlers nearly starving because it takes too long to put them in high chairs. It made me scream at my computer in frustration, but it was memorable.
What works for me when my Sims can't get in a room for no reason, is to go to build mode, grab the door and place it back exactly where it was. The Sim then usually realizes there's nothing blocking the way and starts using the door again.
In my save, the neighborhood stories kept announcing that the goths welcomed another baby. 4 babies plus a child and a toddler. So of course I had to play with that family, but when I did so the game made all 4 babies born on the same day! What a nightmare. You did well. I don't have the make believe tents or slides but I used your watching tip and the babbling too. Nice video. Do more multiplayer with drgluon that's fun
