let's talk about the scenarios in the sims... 

The one thing I like about scenarios is that alongside CAS story mode, they are very useful for building up save files filled with townies with quick backstories. The “place in existing save” feature is really useful to say, place a recently broken up couple in your legacy challenge right away without needing to jump into their household, break them up yourself, and hop back into your household. I hope they release all of the scenarios eventually to give us some more variety in the households we make for them (and make the limited ones return eventually)

I still don’t understand why CAS doesn’t have other relationship options like girlfriend/boyfriend, fiancé, etc

kayla: *clicks ‘send alone’ also kayla: “IS TESS NOT COMING??? thats strike three…”

“i don’t want to deal with the neighborhood action plan inspector” *deletes sim*

I hope they give us the option later to add a scenario to an existing household too. Your single sim just had triplets, add the Too Many Toddlers Scenario in some way. Could make things fun. Great Chaotic Video!

I like how Kayla is practically their therapist

I've tried all 3 and lemme tell ya, the easiest is the money one. The hardest is the Toddler one (the stress of 3!!!) and the love one is the most tension fueled!

Im currently playing a household I started with this scenario and let me tell you, it's the most fun I've had playing Sims in a while. I started making them hate each other a little bit more and getting them both in relationships and the guy "accidentally" got Summer Holiday pregnant after a couple Risky WooHoos (mod). Then the girl caught on fire trying to cook bc for some reason she is terrible at cooking and the guy saved her so I thought that was the perfect time to start having them try to get along. I started to have them flirt but I think I may have accidentally made the guy drunk (mod), and I swear to God I had no involvement in this, they tried for a baby and she got knocked up. In the mean time, I had signed them up to care for foster kids (mod) bc I was curious to see what it was like and didn't plan on keeping the kids but I fell in love with the two kids I got. Long story short they got married, adopted a child and a toddler, won custody of Summer's child after long years of battle in court (just moved him in once he became a child so I wouldn't have to worry about another toddler) and had two kids biologically theirs. I finished the scenario in 22 Sim-days and currently they are both almost maxing their careers, with 5 amazing kids thriving in school, and thinking about becoming foster parents again after they retire.

“Omg you have to pee so often, it’s almost like your pregnant or something” 😂🤣😭 That made me laugh so hard while I’m holding my newborn, who was just born on Halloween 🎃

I just completed the have a million simoleons one today, with no cheats. I used every single trick that Stanley has taught us over the years to make money. I even started on an empty lot and not a house so made it proper rags to riches.

Weird, this was a little different to my break up scenario. They had the "broken up" thing in the relationship panel and they had slightly different but still negative sentiments. They also hated each other more I think.

also I feel like the sims doesn't have a strong enough relationship memory system for this to work. like the game never remembers what the past relationship between two sims is, it only keeps track of the current relationship, which is an issue that should have been addressed before releasing this challenge

The storyline that popped into my head is... Bonnie and Tess were so in love and Tess really wanted a baby and Bonnie was so caught up in love that she kind of ignored her own feelings, but once she was pregnant is all came back to her and she was angry with herself for not speaking her needs/being honest with herself sooner, and resentful of her partner because she loves her so much and loves the image in her head of them as a little family with a baby but she just can't be completely carefree and excited like Tess is - especially because their savings doesn't feel secure enough for her. Meanwhile Tess feels blindsided, because she thought they were in this together, and she was so thankful and in adoration of Bonnie for carrying their child (maybe she couldn't?) and she doesn't know what changed. She just felt like they were a team and in this together no matter how difficult it might be and now she doesn't know what will happen or if she will be a part of this family at all any more and she's angry - maybe she even feels abandoned?

OMG the sorry mommy comment had me rolling 😂💀💀

I made my Sims cook together quite a lot, it gives them positive sentiment and overall useful. Really like this scenario.

i’d quite like for them to give us a custom scenario creator - i feel like it might be great if they do it right. i’d assume it would be with limited choices but you would be able to set what tasks need to be accomplished out of a list and add a description. maybe you would be able to add household rules? where you set that you need a certain relationship between sims or amount of sims. maybe simmers could upload the scenarios to the gallery? also maybe then the more experienced simmers could go crazy with it and might be more likely to use them :p

I played this scenario and agree that getting them back together is hard af. I took the easy way out and had one of my Sims fall in love with someone else lol. It was a nice challenge, not as pointless as I thought it’d be. Hopefully we’ll get even more challenging scenarios with strong sentiments as time goes on.

So what I‘ve learnt today is that sandcastles can save ANY relationship

i didn’t know that i needed to hear kayla say mommy? sorry, but i’m glad i did 😂

"a bit messy by accident" could be the slogan for the Sims 4

yes, my daily dose of lilsimsie content

New idea for a legacy challenge every generation has to start off with enemies to lovers you can't marry someone and have children with them unless you hated them first. No other requirements just that.

I really love Kayla.. especially when we watch her struggle with a sims 4 challenge.

Let’s talk about how the scenarios update absolutely broke my game

Can you imagine if it had been triplets? I can 100% see 2018 Kayla cackling

I’m hoping they do more storyline ones rather than the challenge ones. I like both but I feel like the replay ability of the storyline ones (especially if they have different endings to try) will get me to try them again and again.

I started playing the same scenario and the game basically gave me the story. The guy absolutely despised his ex girlfriend and had a sentiment that went something along the lines of that he cannot trust her ever again. Which is interesting because he also has a "jealous" trait. So I went with it and blamed it all on her and he got the bed while she slept on the couch lol

Honestly, I think what I'm most looking forward to with scenarios is modders figuring out how to come up with their own!

In my current legacy save my 1st gen couple had a cheating incident and broke up. I’m VERY excited to try this scenario with those two sims, it came out at the perfect time.

Pov: you wait literally all day for Kayla to post a vid and she makes ur day 🙂

Hi Kayla, LOVE your content! I figured I'd share some thoughts on scenarios that might offer some insight. I believe that EA is releasing scenarios as a way to increase gameplay (obviously) - however, offering time-locked or limited-time scenarios can be used to promote "This month only, limited time ______ scenario!" which will possibly drive at least some players back to the game on a semi-regular basis (apart from just expansion/pack releases) which will technically inflate EA's Sims 4 numbers for reporting either internally or publicly. Just my thoughts - but large companies do things like this all the time; I work in HR and internal marketing and see it a lot. xo

simsie when situations came out : three toddlers is supposed to be a challenge? simsie with two babies: this is terrible

I like how the sims traits effect their break up sentiments. I’ve played the scenario twice and emotional traits can effect the starting emotions and sentiments. :D There is also special dialog on some of the dialogue wheels like the mean dialogue wheel and romantic wheel.

I played this story this out on the sims 3 recently with a twist. I had a married couple with 2 kids, the husband wanted another kid but the wife was going through a midlife crisis so he attempted to seduce someone else. Before they got to woohoo he'd be caught. They divorced but slept in single beds side by side until their youngest was a teenager then he purchased another lot down the street and moved in there. She remarried and had another child but wasn't happy that her new hubby passed on the mermaid gene and ended things with him and eventually remarried her first husband and they sold the second house and are now on their honeymoon

I really like the Too many Toddlers challenge, and the one thing I found is that the higher skilled your adult sim is, the easier it is going to be. Also, I didn't like the fact, that she couldn't have a partner, just one adult and unless the sim is wealthy they will have to go to work. It's a good thing that the toddlers age up quickly in a short life span.

I love how Kayla has been saying 'fingies' lately. It's so cute!!

I'm playing the todder one. But to make it harder i only play with the adult sim and dont even look at the toddlers needs. A lot guessing involved, but its fun!

Playing the sims while watching this and Johnny Zest calls me right as Kayla says “Johnny zest” 😳

I never had 5 unlocked for me. I looked multiple times. I think only some people had them unlocked. It was some bug or something. I think we are only suppose to have the 3 right now.

I think the traits might have an effect on the sentiments (or maybe there's a randomized element) bc in the save I started one was furious and the other was not and one had apparently dumped the other according to moodlets

The same thing happened to me where I downloaded a couple off the gallery not knowing she was pregnant with TRIPLETS

I have a feeling modders are going to have these scenarios permanently unlocked for us pretty soon

"Why are these pants even in the game?" I use those pants 😭

For me who just listens to these in the morning before work it’s literally just simsie as a therapist simulator. It’s so funny out of context

The scenarios broke the UI for active career!! I wanted to have a rags to riches Special Agent sim, but it's impossible!

moment of appreciation for kayla making LGBTQ+ and BIPOC sims, she's always serving diversity

i love the beginning of all your videos, the drama XD

Im waiting for the update to the senarios where you can add them to your existing family, not only save. That would be fun in the legacy challenge

I built a house for this and added my first Murphy Bed since they first came out...it's fitting.

I did this recently and the best method to this I feel is getting the friendship bar back up. I used the soccer ball from university to raise the friendship bar back up then worked on the romance bar slowly.

you only get the other scenarios if you're not connected to WIFI!

I'm really really excited about the scenarios. If they had more of them, I would definitely get back into playing the Sims regularly. I just get overwhelmed with trying to play challenges without a way to easily track my progress.

I had my sim get with the neighbor who had just completed Too Many Toddlers. I did keep playing and use photos so they would be friends before moving one of them out. It was my plan from the beginning, but them arguing as soon as I didn’t have something lined up with was challenging

The other scenarios only show up if u launch the game without connecting to the internet u can connect once u select the scenario u want and enter cas

this one worked for me! i had two sims that had broken up live together, and a sim started dating a townie and they became soulmates. while they were dating my broken up sims were getting closer and closer together, rekindling things. they became best friends and eventually my other relationship broke up, and then my original broken up sims got back together and were soulmates. voila, all three in one.

The only one I've done so far was Too Many Toddlers and I enjoyed it a lot. (I always love playing with toddlers though; that's why I chose it first.) But I noticed for some reason that the entire time my game was playing music even when the radio wasn't on and my Sim didn't have earbuds! It sounded like the build/buy background music but it was too generic for me to tell if it was from a pack and it was on an endless loop. I honestly couldn't figure out why but it was absolutely from the game because when I turned down the music using settings it was affected. Has anyone else noticed this glitch? I chose a current save and did Save As but obviously I created a new family for the challenge.

i did this one and found calling each other while like at work helped a lot!! felt like a fanfiction plot

Oh wow this video has made completing th scenario easier for me cause El was having trouble with my sims cause they had broken up so.l get it it's about doing activities together that makes two people bond. Thank you

Did the game like “break” for anyone else when scenarios were introduced?

Idk why I laughed so hard when she deleted the inspector if only we could have cheat codes like that IRL 😩💀

Kayla: A Turtle! Me: in memory of turtle the dog from Bell legacy RIP!

I like how I'm watching this today and finished the "limited time only" too many toddlers yesterday.

15:07 Lady: * does her job * Lilsimsie: *WHAT PART OF “WHAT PART OF I DONT HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND”* * erases lady from existence *

Kayla creates chaos in the sims I click Simple

“launch was a bit messy” sounds about right for the sims

I had to do a lot of cooking together and watching movies together to get my sims back together it actually was the hardest option of the scenario but I got it

It is limited, but you can finish whenever once you start.

13:36 General Kenobi

I really like scenarios, they're super fun

I like how the sims get different angry sentiments, when I tried this on my stream my sims weren't furious, but one was deeply wounded and the other was butter about breakup, so this might actually be a base for a storyline!

There's nothing better then watching a lilsimsie video at 1am 💖

I used your advice from your other video about taking photos with another sim, it significantly improved my sims relationship quickly. Thanks!!

limited time stuff is always a turn off for me, there's no reason for any of these to be time locked except to keep you constantly checking back into the game and that just bugs me, it's manipulative and unnecessary

My favorite part was when she said, "I'm disappointed, but not surprised." That sums up the Sims 4. Lol

It took a LOT of Forced Friendship and Transcendent Charmer potions to resolve my Sims scenario.

I'm having a lot of fun with scenarios so far. I hope they keep making new ones.

This feels like a parent trap scenario right here.

I tried this scenario and it was awful 😂 my sims were always miserable around each other, and it didn't help that one was a loner. I ended the scenario by having my outgoing sim start a bunch of relationships, and one actually turned into something. They broke up a week later, so I tried to get the roomates back together. It took awhile but it worked! They still have the angry moodlet around each other even though their soulmates. idk how to fix it 😭

them building those sandcastles when they wanted to argue reminds me of sandcastles by beyonce

Mentioning how it's not alcohol made me think about how the 'drinks' in Sims are all juice thinking about how it's juice made me remember nectar making from sims 3 and remembering my vineyard in Champs Les Sims made me sad

I did it too and I made my sims get back together, instead of finding new sims for them... finished it in 6 sim days even though I had fun the first two days and made them argue and yell at each other then not talk to each other and eventually have small talks and then long conversations and eventually... ROMAAANCE! But... I don't know about scenarios... I also did "Too Many Toddlers" and they're not that difficult, don't last long and then nothing... I think it's a good foundation but hopefully for something a bit more... fun/challenging.

This is pretty great how it started with a small crumble and then just got SO MUCH worse.

Funny how i used the same lot and also replaced the house with lilsimsies renovation when playing this scenario :D

IKR I went on sims super excited to play after seeing that the other ones came out and they werent there 🙁

Oh my gosh it’s been so long since she’s played with these sims. What do you think about Simsie building a Mediterranean farmhouse.

While they have a sentiments its harder to get them to talk. Once the sentiments are gone or almost gone, have one or both apologize for the best results on getting them to talk again. It's hard to tell 100% what works best. But the cool thing is that the sentiments change, I've restarted it (cause I kind of didn't do it right the first time, I made a duplex situation so they didn't 100% live together) and went from having both furious to one of them being furious and the other is deeply wounded ... also both are bitter about break-up. I like it and have a bit more fun when I create my relationship sims by the story function.

As soon as the twins were born, part of me, desperately wanted Kayla to make it The Parent Trap scenario

Omg, Kayla rewrote _The Parent Trap._

I like the scenarios! I uploaded one of them into my legacy challenge and another one into my 100 baby challenge and they definitely added a little extra to the story telling

I always go to this scenario because it fits the backstory for my OC that I made, for some reason they always spam mischief or funny interactions XD.

It doesn't seem like a challenge unless they're making us do one of the 3 options shown up.... But the interactions of broken up sims have to be started by the player....other than that they never interact because they're close to declared enemies

Is it weird that I want to actually see this scenario turn into a longer let’s play?

Maybe now people play out Bob and Eliza Pancake story with the Scenario challenges.

I live for the chaos in lilsimsie's stories

would love to see a speedrun of this scenario where you just get them to be friends by taking photos together

I wish this scenario was a longer series

This scenario with Bonnie being pregnant and Tess and her being broken up and Tess not knowing about the baby is EXACTLY like Bette and Tina's storyline on the L Word! It's so freaky, they even both have B and T initials though Tina is the one who is pregnant in the L word.

I literally did this scenario yesterday and OMG. I wanted them to get back together because thats harder. But: they lived in a one bedroom flat, so keeping them apart was difficult. The romance festival saved it lmao

I'd love to see Kayla try too many toddlers in the sims 2. It would be hilarious

they remind me of the bitlife challenges, i wonder if they’re trying to make the sims version of those
