Just an idea: maybe when you decide to sell your horses, you should move them to other households and add their value to your funds? That way horses won't disappear from the game and you'll still see them in the world.
That's a great idea! Selling them isn't that heartbreaking if you can remain friends and maybe see their new owners riding them around New Appaloosa too!
I'm stealing this idea for my own personal game. I really like it, thank you for sharing it with us. I can't convince mysel to sell my horses because it's too sad for me, but I still want to make money this way. So again, thank you so much for this idea.
If the game worked correctly, the lily would just grow and you would be able to harvest it or take a cutting no problem. I don't consider it cheating if you're just adjusting to accomodate for the broken wild plants. I say take a cutting.
There’s a wild Lily growing by the pond in Magnolia Promenade (if that’s the one with the 3 retail shops), behind the giant pink tree, right of the circular brick park bench area and near the grill by the picnic table. Cuz that doesn’t sound confusing! Hope you get one!
James all of lady’s previously harvested produce is in the box by the nectar maker! Please can you put some hay decoration in the barn for Bessie? She deserves comfort in her elder years!
He also has a ton of produce still on the trees/plants that can be harvested, including the alient orb fruit which would probably give him some good money. Lol
The issues with the trash cans getting knocked over is the main reason I use the money trash can. It's not about the money, it's about not having sims spill trash all the time.
@@Sonata675no the trash can that gives money when you put things in it is base game. It’s white and blue and kind of looks futuristic. I can’t remember the exact name but it has a little green light on it as well. It gives back 10 simolions per each member in the household.
That might be true, but most of his bottles are in the “excellent” storage rack which is in the room with indoor lighting. I think it just takes a long time to finely age nectar 😅
I love how when Oak called Lady on the phone his little thumbnail showed he had a cowboy hat on, probably trying to schmooze up to Lady so she can forgive him🤠
You keep feeding the animals vet treats when they aren't sick but only mildly inconvenienced 😂 When pets faint they aren't sick, it just mea s there isn't a pet bed in sight and they're too dumb to find anything else before their energy need runs out.
I was about to suggest the same thing. That did happen once in my game in a tiny home, the cat didn't have enough room to scratch the furniture so it kept getting routing fails, as soon as I made more room then it could happily destroy my furniture... yay?...
Also, on the screen "a foal was born, what would you like to call HIM?" James while looking at said text - "how should we know if it's a boy or a girl... I guess we'll just never know!!!" Never change James, we love you just like that 😂😂
the pets keep passing out because when you're in 3x speed they freeze (and don't go to sleep) a lot of the times which is suuuper annoying I'm really hoping sims fixes that one day
@@_.sugawang74sometimes pets get obsessions with household items and they bug out. I had a cat once that had an obsession with the fireplace and if I didn’t debug him every now and again he would run away because his needs were bad but it was literally just bc he was sat staring at the fireplace all the time 😂
The recycler uses power!! I play with eco lifestyle a lot and usually keep the recycler in my inventory and only use it when I need to so I don’t waste all my power
Maybe you should have different horses that focus on different skills, like a horse just for jumping and a horse just for barrels (like it would be in real life). So then it might be faster, and you can still sell them for a high price
@@hfjireh Cats and dogs can sleep pretty much anywhere, but there is definitely a bug where they just won't go to sleep for some reason. Often they just stand there and do nothing for hours and hours. Not sure why. I don't play on 3x speed. I use the selectable pets mod for this reason (it isn't actually broken and is compatible with horses, but you don't need it with horses unless you want to actually control them also)
I think the cat is trying to say it want's to scratch the sofa but it can't because it's a wooden one and not fabric. I tested it with my cat and changed the sofa to a fabric one and it seemed to help.
James, your cat and dog are falling asleep from exhaustion, not illness. Also very sad that Bluey and Flame don't like each other, but Flame keeps scaring everyone, so maybe that's why
Traveling bugs out the ranch hands, it’s not just the board. Also the game tells you the gender of the horse when they are born. It asks what you want to call him or her. And I think you still might have produce in the storage bin. Take it out and put it in the refrigerator for cooking and nectar. Definitely take the lily cutting. The plants probably only reset because of the bug in the game that hasn’t been fixed yet. Please put Basil and Bramble a bed outside so they don’t have to sleep on the ground. Or maybe even sell Basil. You don’t really need him anymore.
the sims team themselves suggested to remove the board from the lot as a quick fix / help. while it's been them suggesting during the "livestream" to place it on your lot to begin with 😂 it's all messy
My ranch hands are bugged without the sign. They started out great, but after many sim days of playing they just never went home. Like what happens with the nannies - sometimes they work right, sometimes they never leave!
Without the sign they’re still buggy, but when I had the sign, they’d look at it and leave and not do anything 😂 Still having to rehire them but thankfully not as annoying
I was moved to tears by the impressive performance of "body fall crash", absolutely heart wrenching. The way they spent their life on the ranch, through heart ache and prosperity. "body fall crash" will be missed.
Did Quinn not grow a lily during the last LP? I definitely wouldn't mind you taking a cutting from that bush if she did. If not, don't forget you could get a Patchy and hunt for seeds in his pockets. Also if you get bees then you can send them hunting for gifts for you and they often come back with seed packets.
True with patchy, I got an orchid recently. 😅 Though he is seriously annoying; for some reason, he will not leave me alone! I need to fence in the garden, and lock the gate for him, so he can just focus on the garden... 😇
There's a bug with having stuff in a storage box that is then in your sim's inventory and then moving that sim. LittleMsSam's transfer Inventory mod will let you get everything out and then you can place stuff back in and it will work like normal.
Not sure if it is a coincidence or if the team actually put thought into that, but the vast majority of mares (almost 90%) go into labor at night! Something to do with the hormonal peak, happens in a lot of mammals. That's why Flame keeps having her foals at night, which is actually a lovely detail! 😁
That's because melatonin encourages oxytocin production! Melatonin is a sleeping hormone that is triggered by darkness, and oxytocin causes contractions that are needed for dilation and birth (plus bonding with the baby once it's born!). Feeling safe, secluded, and protected is important for every laboring mother. Dimmed lights are extremely helpful.
I think there's a weird bug with cats/dogs. You have to tell them to go poop and go eat when they are unhappy 🙄 and the weird "death" sound is the dog and cat can become fascinated with the fireplace and will just stand there, watching the fire until they literally pass out 🤨 they are perfectly fine though but annoying as heck
I'd recommend finding the local thumbca che package in your Sims 4 fold er, after your game is closed, and recycling it. There might be some changes made to the Cat and Dog AI because of the Horses and starting with a clean cach e can help. If the code is buggy it might not help but I try to do this every time I close Sims 4 and after a major update bare minimum is a good idea. It can definitely resolve problems for Sims and objects, such as refusing to sleep, not going to work, refusing to eat, or other states they were left in during the save. Sorry for weird typos, trying to make sure the advice goes through.
@@mscharlotte7163 A good habit! I do that too; it's easier than remembering later lol. 😄But then it's definitely some error in the code that they need to fix in that case. 😅 Edit: I wonder if the dog/cat traits have an impact on this??
My Sim has a cat fixated on the fireplace - she's the only pet in the house I've never seen pass out. One that did it all the time was a stray elder from the Lighthouse area. I aged her down and haven't seen that since.
I figured out the power usage thing. When you turn off utility usage on your fridge, then travel to a lot and come back home again. It acts as if the utility usage on the object is on (while it shows it's off). So every time you come back to your lot, you'll have to turn on utility usage and then immediately turn it back off...
I'm kinda now also realizing i think the same thing happens when you upgrade something to use a fuel cell. Only now you cant turn something off and on again.. it kinda renders the fuel cell useless...
I would turn off the blizzards under settings; you'll still get heavy snow but it won't be as bad as this. I think the effect can get as intense as the Aurora Borealis and the sims out in the world can freeze to death if they decide to travel through it without changing their clothes. It slows down their movement speed so they're more likely to risk it and for some reason they're all very determined to walk by even though you think they'd stay in doors then!
It’s her phone that is setting off the technophobe trait. It is super annoying because it’s always on them and they automatically go on it to text or play games but then it upsets their technophobia. Also I think the award you put on the arch most recently was Basil’s win so it should be on the outhouse wall instead of the arch.
You could always just lock the main house so that the ranch hand can't go inside? Maybe that will make them a little more efficient because they wouldn't be able to mess around in the house
If you’re wondering, the mud puddles are spawning because of the free range livestock mod. It’s a feature of the mod to recreate the need to clean the barns of the non-modded livestocks in the game. If you click on the ground, there should be the option to clean under the mod menu, which should get rid of the mud puddles, although I think the ranch hand will take care of it for you.
I just want to thank James for being my escape. I'm really struggling at the moment and these videos give me time to myself, time to unwind, to have a laugh and just relax
I saw a clip of a glitch that showed a horse walking on its back legs as if it were a Sim; it looked like a Sim and horse hybrid nightmare. So I think you’re right about the foal having a child Sim’s frame as a base.
I've never noticed that, how come we have a magical fairy world inside a tree with a fairy ring (or whatever the thing with the mushrooms growing in a circle is called), and almost 10 years later we still don't have fairies in the game
In the Glade, the mushroom plants in a circle are a reference to fairy/fae rings/circles! Nothing happens if you step inside it though from what I remember. IRL you're supposed to avoid them and especially don't step inside them because the superstition goes if you step inside a fairy ring you'll be transported to the fae realm and meet a terrible end. Though some cultures just believe fairy rings are dinner tables for fairies, so it'd be rude to interrupt their meals! Just a fun little fact for you :D
Hey James! When the pets pass out, they're not actually sick. They're just exhausted! They pass out just like the human sims if they haven't rested. I thought the same thing at first!
I feel like the cat is trying to jump onto the fridge- but since the counter next to it is technically a pedestal sink and not a counter it can’t path find to the fridge.
The fire place is ALWAYS a problem when I have pets. They won't move from staring at it to take care of their needs until I turn it off. It really could be that!
Honestly, we saw that the Lily plant was already partially grown (and therefore could have reasonably been fully grown by 5) and the resetting of the plants is the most *obnoxious* bug so I say - take the cutting.
The mushrooms growing in a circle is actually such a fun little thing in the game. Their called “fairy circles” or “elf rings”. Mushrooms will grow in circles on grassy fields or in forests and it’s said to symbolize good or back luck depending on if you believe in fairy’s or elves. 🍄🍄 it’s usually brown/white button mushrooms grow in circles
It's extremely OP but I have used the yard sale table in my game at 300% markup with finely aged nectar and some bottles would sell for 15k simoleons. If making the nectar money last till next fall is a concern......... 👀
The being around technology thing is because you're on back on the grid. I had the same problem with my technophobe so I just paid the $200 to cleanse the lifestyle. Also noticed that not being on your home lot at 7am or 7pm is what usually breaks the ranch hand's schedule.
Is the speed up of nectar even working properly? I mean the cellar isn’t “really inside” because of the modded door, what if that messes with the aging?
I heard someone say that horses are just bicycles with needs and personality. Now I don't have TS4 on PC, but if anyone could make a mod that turns horses into bicycles, and/or vice versa, I would watch the heck out of it. Having little baby bicycles frolicking around or seeing your sim pull a horse out of their pocket would be hilarious. I wouldn't even miss cars if I could watch a sim have an animated conversation with their bike or make show jumps with it.
Just an idea: maybe when you decide to sell your horses, you should move them to other households and add their value to your funds? That way horses won't disappear from the game and you'll still see them in the world.

The plants shouldn't randomly reset themselves

Same. I also use CC versions of it for some variety and to fit into more styles.
What is the money trash can? Is it CC?

I think the nectar isn't aging quicker because the basement is classed as outdoors because of James's cool cellar door contraption
That might be true, but most of his bottles are in the “excellent” storage rack which is in the room with indoor lighting. I think it just takes a long time to finely age nectar 😅
@@AKA_Studiosplus basements don’t actually age nectar faster than the rack. The rack is already the fastest way.
James: wow the cat's affection is SUPER low
Also James: *continues to ignore the cat*
"For a barn cat you sure need a lot of affection" *ignores cat all the time* 😂
and Baahtu 😭
Lonely cat tries to interact with farm animals, but the gate is locked😂
James the entire episode: I need money!
also James: ignores Baahtu and Horse the entire episode
If you ever end up getting another horse you should name it "body fall crash".
Flame's next baby!!!!
That was my first thought 😭😭
LMAO yes please do!
“Howdy, my name is Body fall crash but my friends call me BFK” 🤠
Honestly this sounds like the kind of weird names racehorses have in real life 😂😂
James gets a cow and a chicken and then never collects the eggs or milk to help make food lol

@@HeartBreakStudios they don't use it most of the time automatically, you need to ask them to lie down just like you need to ask them to eat.
@@beataceylan Yep, I did notice that a lot.
Does anyone else have a concern about Bluey getting the well mannered trait when he has spent his whole life knocking over the trashcan lol
The kitty’s issue is that its trait is mischievous so it’s trying to scratch

There should be a clear gender indicator in addition to the pronouns though.

y'all...a female baby horse is called a filly...
the pets keep passing out because when you're in 3x speed they freeze (and don't go to sleep) a lot of the times which is suuuper annoying I'm really hoping sims fixes that one day
Also if you have the "Lazy" trait on a cat or dog; you get the negative sound effect when the pass out. It reminds me of narcolepsy.
ohh that’s what it’s from? i always wondered why my pets would pass out 😭
yeah, ALL animations stop when you do this... sigh! fix your damn game greedy Devs lol

He could try a lil tack room in the barn! That would be a perfect place for Bobie ❤
all that and also lock the cat out of the house lol

Maybe you should have different horses that focus on different skills, like a horse just for jumping and a horse just for barrels (like it would be in real life). So then it might be faster, and you can still sell them for a high price
Yes- except! Train Flame to win the all-skills competish, and become the aggressive, defiant queen of the horses!
Designating different skills is a great idea!
Yes, although he will need one horse who does it all for the champion one.
The gameplay slowly turning into 100 pets challenge and I'm loving it.

"if that's true, that's BIG." This was the best episode. Made me laugh and smile so much. James is my fav youtuber
you can get rid of the tense moodlet by buying the lifestyle-go-poof reward (which is much cheaper than carefree)!
I saw a clip of a glitch that showed a horse walking on its back legs as if it were a Sim; it looked like a Sim and horse hybrid nightmare. So I think you’re right about the foal having a child Sim’s frame as a base.
I feel like the glade should have everything in bloom until you pick the plants. Personally, I say cheat them all back to harvestable
10:24 Love Bluebell casually walking behind the window 😊
I've never noticed that, how come we have a magical fairy world inside a tree with a fairy ring (or whatever the thing with the mushrooms growing in a circle is called), and almost 10 years later we still don't have fairies in the game
I don't think the animals are sick when they fall over. I think it's the animal equivalent of your sims passing out when they're exhausted.
I’m laughing so hard at the thought James being so over the top for the intro (which I love) that he somehow glitches text on his screen
James, at this point, just take a cutting. You've suffered enough
In the Glade, the mushroom plants in a circle are a reference to fairy/fae rings/circles! Nothing happens if you step inside it though from what I remember. IRL you're supposed to avoid them and especially don't step inside them because the superstition goes if you step inside a fairy ring you'll be transported to the fae realm and meet a terrible end. Though some cultures just believe fairy rings are dinner tables for fairies, so it'd be rude to interrupt their meals! Just a fun little fact for you :D
James I so love how hard you are going on this series. It’s a ton of fun and I really appreciate the silliness!!
Hey James! When the pets pass out, they're not actually sick. They're just exhausted! They pass out just like the human sims if they haven't rested. I thought the same thing at first!
Other people mentioned that the pets need their own beds bc they keep fainting due to low energy! Also, put the cat stuff in the barn!
pretty sure the answer to the questions "what technology am I around" and "what is using power" is the same: the CELL PHONE
You can tell the gender of the foal in the box where you name it. The description says "what do you want to name him?"
"There's not enough space in my excellent rack" had me CREASING 🤣😂😂
I feel like the cat is trying to jump onto the fridge- but since the counter next to it is technically a pedestal sink and not a counter it can’t path find to the fridge.
When this lets play is over we need all the intros in a compilation. The intros are amazing!
Kristas attitude is the funniest 😂 i love her.
The fire place is ALWAYS a problem when I have pets. They won't move from staring at it to take care of their needs until I turn it off. It really could be that!
Bluebell/Bessie sounding like Grim really caught me off guard 😂
Honestly, we saw that the Lily plant was already partially grown (and therefore could have reasonably been fully grown by 5) and the resetting of the plants is the most *obnoxious* bug so I say - take the cutting.
The cat was never given access to the sheep and goat pen. She may be trying to get in there but can’t cause it’s locked for cats
The mushrooms growing in a circle is actually such a fun little thing in the game. Their called “fairy circles” or “elf rings”. Mushrooms will grow in circles on grassy fields or in forests and it’s said to symbolize good or back luck depending on if you believe in fairy’s or elves. 🍄🍄 it’s usually brown/white button mushrooms grow in circles
I'm still routing for Ryder as Ladys Life partner :D The Name is just so perfect...
Yeah I was sad when James had no reaction to him calling her haha
I’ve never seen you so defeated by bugs, and I’m not talking about the flies in the trash bin.
Duke is clearly a clydesdale. Budweiser beer uses them in their commercials, and they are VERY BIG and extremely beautiful horses.
It's not clear to James as he isn't very knowledgeable regarding horses.
Duke could also be a shire horse.
Omg the voice of the cow!😂
Perfect time on a afternoon to spend an hour watching the Bigwallet Ranch!! :D Let's get some snacks :D
I had a sticky bun and coffee, it was a darn good time
It's extremely OP but I have used the yard sale table in my game at 300% markup with finely aged nectar and some bottles would sell for 15k simoleons. If making the nectar money last till next fall is a concern......... 👀
Taking call on the horse killed me😂
The being around technology thing is because you're on back on the grid. I had the same problem with my technophobe so I just paid the $200 to cleanse the lifestyle.
Also noticed that not being on your home lot at 7am or 7pm is what usually breaks the ranch hand's schedule.
Imagine if you didn’t pay the bills and they reprocessed the rack with all the wine in
Is the speed up of nectar even working properly? I mean the cellar isn’t “really inside” because of the modded door, what if that messes with the aging?
Bramble is a colt, so he’ll be a stallion!
"Hanch Rand", reminds me of Seethrew playing Grounded saying "Weephids and Avils". 😆
This whole Ep is like the poster boy for all the things EA needs to fix 😅
I heard someone say that horses are just bicycles with needs and personality. Now I don't have TS4 on PC, but if anyone could make a mod that turns horses into bicycles, and/or vice versa, I would watch the heck out of it. Having little baby bicycles frolicking around or seeing your sim pull a horse out of their pocket would be hilarious. I wouldn't even miss cars if I could watch a sim have an animated conversation with their bike or make show jumps with it.
Maybe get another horse ball now that you have three horses needing fun
That’s so funny 😂 I didn’t realise the horses could knock over bins! My ranch hand doesn’t stop kicking mine over because she has the evil trait😂😂
