as soon as I saw the Caliente makeovers I immediately got worried that James wouldn't recognize Katrina anymore and we wouldn't get the beautiful shouts of her name. never been so happy to be wrong lmao
He's on it. Really, he should have married Katrina instead of Summer. But he was so busy trying to survive and Summer just kept coming over, so it was the least trouble. In the next R2R, Luna did marry Katrina if I recall, and she was a bit crochety. That was when the famous holla was born. This was all BBW. (Before BigWallet.)
Isn't the internet wild? Thanks to the internet, this man in Australia I have never met, who doesn't know who I am, has been a more consistent part of my life over the past almost decade than most of my friends have been. Wow 😂 this video just made me realise I've been consistently watching your videos for 9 years, that's like a third of my life, and it's just sent me spiralling lmao
Honestly, I feel the same!!! James, Deli and Simsie, I started watching them all when I was in my teens and now, almost 26, still going strong. They are basically all a part of my family at this point 🥹🤣
I agree. I love the old meta of TH-cam far more than the current one. I like to see most of the gameplay from games and it seems now most just sort of show the start and then the end product and skip a lot of the middle part out. Alas, it seems I'm more in the minority. But fortunatley I don't think James is like this so much, I feel we still see nearly all the gameplay, probably why I've stuck around all these years watching 😄
Who remembers when James would get that message while fishing, not read it and give up fishing because he thought that meant there's no more fish in the pond....😂
Haha, James, the know-it-all that I am, surely I've told you at some point? I do believe you need to wait until it grows into a "calf," but it is still worth it! 😛😛 And that the Welcome Wagon is not only a food source, but a chance to raise Social, which will increase the quality of your paintings since they reflect Mood. You can even visit with them and paint at the same time.
@@LivinInSim This!!!! TH-camrs hate the welcome wagon but then they have to go out of their way to "meet people" for social when the game literally provides you a set of characters you can meet at home on your first morning.
I remember the original rags to riches very well, and I love this return to the older style of video. I dont watch anywhere near as many Sims videos as I once did, as I'm not keen on the highly edited, fast paced, 'content', most people do now. Back in the day it was actually watching people play the game, and have fun with it. I'd love to see more videos like this.
8/9 years of experience really helped Duke Silver have an easier life this time around. Though I found it mildly amusing that he snubbed his first timeline wife Summer for Katrina. However I found it a vexing reminder that even the refreshed Katrina doesn't have an established relationship with Don.
I've already said this in the members video, but a new Rags to Riches Extreme would be amazing! Also I'd love to see you build the house on the lake or the 'mountain' house again with the new tools, I loved those builds.
I guess theoretically making digital art in the real world would be faster than having to wait for every layer of oil paint to dry to the level you need to continue. But in my experience, artists are slowed down more by their perfectionism and insecurities than their medium.
This is super fun! Love to see the no edit video - and WOW what a difference in the challenge from 9 years ago. As a builder, I'd really enjoy you revisiting your old builds and see what you can do with the updated game.
I LOVE the idea of remastering old builds. The "same house in sims 1-4" series was a ton of fun, i think this could have the same vibes. Thanks for the content lately, James! Really really enjoying it. ❤
Same! That's what I actually thought this one was until it was way too easy to complete. haha. That one was a lot of fun to watch, but I expect that would still be a lot easier now too!
@Brittanynmartin yes, especially with all the packs... I mean, in that one, Singing wasn't a skill yet, so getting started would be much easier, as he wouldn't have to fish up an instrument.
A man steps onto a plot of grass, sets up an easel, and begins madly painting. After a day or two, he plunks down a toilet and a cot and continues painting, day and night. A week later, he is quietly victorious: $10,000 without ever stepping foot into a house.
Speedrunning rags to riches. 8 years ago, I liked the unedited long play videos. I miss that feeling. I finished Coe’s Quest and felt nostalgic for a youtube that just doesn’t exist anymore. It was a nice experience to watch this video today.
as a person who draws portraits in many forms, both realistic to pencil (traditionally) to toon style digitally. I can say without a doubt digital is faster for me anyways, takes me 2-3 hours to do a portrait verse two days in traditional style. Due to my arthris I will also say that its less mess too no needing 100 brushes and messy paints you can paint on the pad with unlimited colors!
I swear I remember watching your first rags to riches video like it was two weeks ago. Probably because it was, as I've been rewatching all your videos lmao. It's so fun to see how you've progressed!
I like the idea of revisiting old videos! See how much you and the game have evolved. I haven't been around your channel for 9 years yet, but did watch all your old stuff and it's amazing how much you've stayed the same, yet have grown so much!
Me too. He can afford to start doing more of it. By that I mean he doesn't need to try as hard to grow the channel subscriptions. People just clicking random might think "ew, unpolished" but now he has a big following, and those folks appreciate just chilling with someone familiar.
Honestly no edit videos feel so nostalgic, just feels like chill hang outs. Makes me realise how fast paced edited one's can be with the down time or mistakes cut out
I love to play rags to riches myself, and I have noticed that often the neighbors won't leave the fruitcake if you don't have any surfaces like a table or a kitchen cabinet.
9 years ?! 😅 i remember this! I found you on youtube late one night and fell in love with your Aluna Island videos, Just before The Sims 4 came out!! I still have that island downloaded on my old PC ❤❤
HAHAHA this was the best. James' reaction when he realised he could sell the sketchpad for the remaining amount killed me 😂 $10k in 24 mins, professional sims player right here
They did rework painting. The big money ones like abstract aren't worth as much, and some that used to be bad, like pop art, are worth more. I usually paint small classic to level 4 then just do small pop art until 9. Then realism and surrealism are worth the most if masterpieces, but they're about half as valuable as they used to be.
Soemtning strange happened while watching - I miss the “let’s play” no editing style videos of old TH-cam. Soemtning charming and real about it. Not just speed running dopamine. Love your content and can’t believe it’s been 10 years already
I honestly enjoyed the no editing! Wouldn't have noticed if ir wasn't mentioned! Also, if you could ever redo your tiny builds series, with the 4x4 house and so on, it'd be soooo cool to see how much more we can do with newer items!
As a traditional illustrator who's done it for years, there's a flow you get into when doing it either traditional or digital that ends up feeling faster than it actually is. Admittedly digital has alot of tricks to short cut chunks of progress but after working with other mediums you pick up your own little 'hacks' that make your progress just as fast.
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 9 years! I’ve been subscribed to your channel since The Sims 3 Into the Future! Can’t believe that’s been over a decade. Time flies!
Been wanting to subscribe and finally am going to get to! Can’t wait! Awesome little recreation. I’ve been watching a bunch of your old series as well. ❤
@jamesturner I was recently playing the high school pack and I noticed that the track and field backside isn't really useable. I thought I could click on the track and have my sims run track/ jog or even run huddles, maybe even play football or soccer with other teen sims, by clicking in the goal post, but NO. James! You have Sim build pull. Ask the sims team to make real sports a thing. (Cheerleading can't be the only highschooler sport that's actually interactive.) Tell them we want more high school sports as a playable option. It would be cool if we could create some kind of competitiveness or school fude's.
If you want the fruitcake, it helps to put down a small side table, or really anything that counts as a "surface" for objects to be placed on. The npcs want somewhere to put the fruitcake down that isn't the floor. You can always sell the side table later and get most of the money back, or get a kitchen counter which will be useful in the future.
You should bring duke silver into your main game, and introduce him into the bigwallet family somehow. Like Andrew Garfield falling into Tom Holland land.
You've truly influenced my Sims experience over the years because no matter who im watching play or what time in my life I play... every SINGLE time i see Katrina in the world better believe i go, KATRINA!
Don't know if you ever tried this challenge in Sims 2 but that would be fun to try to do. The twist would be that you wouldn't watch any old videos to refresh your memory. Every now and then I jump back into one of the old Sims games and try to complete something I remember having fun doing in the past only to royally fail because I've just forgotten so much about those games.
A bit late to the party, but I loved this video, and I love the idea of you going back and rebuilding your old builds, even rebuilding old Sims 3 stuff in Sims 4! I'm a sentimental person who has Sims 1 through 4 all installed, all just so I can boot up Sims 1-3 and have that up on one monitor while attempting to capture the essence of that lot in Sims 4 (taking a few creative liberties along the way lol) on another monitor, so naturally I do also enjoy watching other people do this as well! I have shared my creations in the gallery under the username Egglington, and while I work through stuff in a methodical way, I do accept requests (which I'd prioritise), as well as feedback (I keep discovering better suited items later on and feel the need to go back and update stuff I've made with them lol!). There's a few of my own builds (using no references) as well as a couple from House Flipper too. I'm also working on the Dawn Winery from Genshin Impact, but that one's a challenge.
I forgot how basic base game is! All my solutions to your need of food and a bed early on were things from packs.. The cooler, the sleeping bag, the camp fire 😂
Duke Silver? 😂😂😂 @12:58 "I said invite neighbors in" IN WHERE, DUKE SILVER? 😂 It's funny how Duke managed to get $10k in a really short time while Quinn struggles for money so often ☠️☠️☠️ BTW is it just me or is this video really quiet? I can hear James fine but it has a feel of when James is livestreaming. It sounds somewhat lonely. Or is it because I'm so used to the larger Sims households 😂
In the old unedited videos, I believe he streamed on twitch, so he had chatters to respond to. At least during some of the Bigwallet series, I'm not sure about the original r2r
ALso when it comes to painting from my own trials, it seems the more you focus on ONE category lets say classics it will increase in sell price as you continue to make it that's why his reference was only $102. Also another tip is always do the $50 as they can surpass the $100 pricing and you can do 2 for the price of one and instead of a profit of 400 you will get a profit of $500!
I decided to start a new RTR challenge a few weeks ago while also doing the Well Rounded scenario, so of course, for the first time ever my sim won the lottery! I just hit exit without saving and started all over again. Will probably never happen again but lesson learned.
lol that has happened to me too! I learned to not buy a ticket when part of what I want is a struggle. Also in Sims 3, the lucky trait is OP for lotteries. I'm glad it's not in 4 or I'd abuse it.
I’ve been wanting to watch more of your content lately, and I feel like watching this and the older version of the challenge would be a good way to start
this makes me want to play something like Sims Hardcore mod where making ends meet is a challenge and living out on the streets actually has consequences for you so you can't just casually sleep in the rain
Duke Silver really has to be implemented into the Bigwallet Legacy. As someones partner, or friend, or just a random side character but he needs to be there.
as far as I have experimented it's best to pick one painting style and stick with it and it earns more and more and more money the more you do it(as if there's a sub skill in painting that relates to the style you pick). So generally I stick to classic unless I decide I want my sim to be an expert in something else
Oh this was so great. It was nice to just get to watch a regular video again. You know that feels just like someone actually playing the game. Sometime the editing does ruin things. Its nice seeing the mistakes and slip ups in how you say stuff because it makes you feel more human. Heavy editing until its "perfect" just gets so boring. I actually stopped watching your content as regularly because it was feeling off, but this feels like the good old days! Your personality is back!
this is so wild, ive been watching thru the bigwallet playlist and the lack of editing and facecam is so jarring. this being uploaded while im watching old videos feels special lmao
“Check in on” is what “Ask about day” turns into if you don’t have Growing Together installed. You also end up with joke about heritage which is… uncomfortable. And gossip about neighbors turns to gossip about family. (Plus without Bust the Dust you can no longer “clean” but must “polish to perfection” - even on chess tables and toddler potties.)
Would love to see you revisit the extreme version of your rags to riches, complete with the flaming intro. ‘Rags to riches, 🔥🔥EXTREME🔥🔥’ that was awesome 😂
Watching videos without editing is wild to me now. The edited (faster) versions are why I usually prefer watching your content to actually playing myself - skip right to the good parts! Love the throwback in this video, though!
This was an awesome new take on your original Rags to Riches, love it! Quick question, could you please explain how to use Little Miss Sam's Release All the Ghosts mod? I downloaded it after you mentioned it and I can't figure out how to use it.
I have been watching this channel for years and it has been so amazing Your videos and content is so good I mean practically everyday I check to see if you have released a new video.❤️
The one thing I know that will always get a sim rich quick is painting. Taking maybe an hour and some change for 700-5g every time is so satisfying 😁 or going to manage worlds , unfavorite your household, go into build mode, place a bunch or expensive stuff, go back to live mode and sell it 😁
as soon as I saw the Caliente makeovers I immediately got worried that James wouldn't recognize Katrina anymore and we wouldn't get the beautiful shouts of her name. never been so happy to be wrong lmao
Katrinaaaa
He's on it.
Really, he should have married Katrina instead of Summer. But he was so busy trying to survive and Summer just kept coming over, so it was the least trouble.

Haha. No worries I have copies of all the original characters in case EA ever decided to do something with them I don't like LOL
Isn't the internet wild?

Honestly, I feel the same!!! James, Deli and Simsie, I started watching them all when I was in my teens and now, almost 26, still going strong.
They are basically all a part of my family at this point 🥹🤣
Honestly loved the old no edit videos. Feels like a chill time and calms me down. Mistakes happen and reminds me we're all human and it's okay 😊
yeah, it's more like you play alongside them rather than viewing a show. It's cozy.
@@Daiska_Plays exactly 🙂

Agreed. Too many edits make me feel like I’ve missed something and I get confused.
So true! Which is why I usually watch Sims content on streams. Love the pace 🥰
'Dont smell yourself you will be less confident' I love James humor
same
Nine years?! I can’t believe I watched this original series in real time. Time flies! Excited to see you attempt this again.
Who remembers when James would get that message while fishing, not read it and give up fishing because he thought that meant there's no more fish in the pond....😂
Me omg 😂
I thought so too after watching him 😑
9 years and you still don't know that selling the cowplant right after planting it gives you more money. (400 vs only 180 for the berry) 😅
This is the first time I'm hearing this!
@@JamesTurnerYT
Haha, James, the know-it-all that I am, surely I've told you at some point? I do believe you need to wait until it grows into a "calf," but it is still worth it! 😛😛

I guess theoretically making digital art in the real world would be faster than having to wait for every layer of oil paint to dry to the level you need to continue. But in my experience, artists are slowed down more by their perfectionism and insecurities than their medium.

I think the multi part A frame house build with the retaining walls would be a lot better now with platforms and pond tools
The sim's name just proves James has been a loyal parks n rec fan for at least 8 years

That Rags to Riches was actually the first series I ever watched of yours! So glad you're revisiting it!
cant BELIEVE ive been waching you and deli since i was 12?? ive basically grown on your content lmao LOVE YOUUU

as far as I have experimented it's best to pick one painting style and stick with it and it earns more and more and more money the more you do it(as if there's a sub skill in painting that relates to the style you pick). So generally I stick to classic unless I decide I want my sim to be an expert in something else
Love this idea! Can't wait to watch this video!
Oh this was so great. It was nice to just get to watch a regular video again. You know that feels just like someone actually playing the game. Sometime the editing does ruin things. Its nice seeing the mistakes and slip ups in how you say stuff because it makes you feel more human. Heavy editing until its "perfect" just gets so boring. I actually stopped watching your content as regularly because it was feeling off, but this feels like the good old days! Your personality is back!
Can't wait to see you critique this video in 9 more years! 😂❤
PLEASE do another Rags to Riches Extreme, loved that series!
this is so wild, ive been watching thru the bigwallet playlist and the lack of editing and facecam is so jarring. this being uploaded while im watching old videos feels special lmao
“Check in on” is what “Ask about day” turns into if you don’t have Growing Together installed. You also end up with joke about heritage which is… uncomfortable. And gossip about neighbors turns to gossip about family.
(Plus without Bust the Dust you can no longer “clean” but must “polish to perfection” - even on chess tables and toddler potties.)
I honestly loved the raw footage, it felt like I was really watching you play along
Love the parks and rec reference 😅
Would love to see you revisit the extreme version of your rags to riches, complete with the flaming intro. ‘Rags to riches, 🔥🔥EXTREME🔥🔥’ that was awesome 😂
sims get a coin flip first time they eat fruit cake, and from then on either love it or hate it.
I absolutely need to see the PRISON CHALLENGE updated now that we have get to work! PLEASEEEEEE
Watching videos without editing is wild to me now. The edited (faster) versions are why I usually prefer watching your content to actually playing myself - skip right to the good parts! Love the throwback in this video, though!
Katrina!!! The unedited TH-cam vids are so nostalgic lol
This was an awesome new take on your original Rags to Riches, love it! Quick question, could you please explain how to use Little Miss Sam's Release All the Ghosts mod? I downloaded it after you mentioned it and I can't figure out how to use it.
Please complete the rags to riches extreme, I love the many part series, it's emotionally investing and I'm still waiting after so many years 😢
I loved the first take on this, this is gonna be fun!
Even after all these years, when James yells my name I jump a little 😂
literally just finished watching your reaction video hahahaha
Duke should totally marry into the bigwallets! It would be nice to see him integrated into the main series.
For once i'm kinda early! Love this idea and it's always fun to see non-edited videos here and there😂
Petition for Duke Silver to somehow get with the next Bigwallet heir and get to be a part of their family’s rags to riches legacy.
I have been watching this channel for years and it has been so amazing
Your videos and content is so good
I mean practically everyday I check to see if you have released a new video.❤️
Love the no edit video! I miss this style of video!
I'd love to see the prison challenge again! that stuff was gold!
Prices for paintings improve over time with experience. Painting Katrina was your first time painting by reference.
The one thing I know that will always get a sim rich quick is painting. Taking maybe an hour and some change for 700-5g every time is so satisfying 😁 or going to manage worlds , unfavorite your household, go into build mode, place a bunch or expensive stuff, go back to live mode and sell it 😁
