Just imagine the kids coming home: "MoOOOm! DaAAAaad! I invited all my new friends over for a sleepover tonight! We need to build a second story on the house! QUICK!!!”
Omg imagine if Sergio was their dad: *whispers to wife* can't we just put them all in the basement? Wife: Seriously Sergio? 🙄 no, that's where I have my girl time. How about your man shed? Sergio: Okay you made your point. Grandma's house it is.
I vote for a basement as the sleep over spot. My grandparents had the coolest basement and we always looked forward to family sleep overs. They had a sleeper sofa, bar (we know the Sims loves bars), a popcorn machine, an ice cream maker, a full bathroom, and steps that lead to the back yard. My cousins and I would have a blast. They also had wall darts but we were banded after an "incident" lol.
dont know if this has been suggested yet, but when you get ready to move to the new house, you should put the family in front of the original house and get a family photo together in front of the house that they started in for a keepsake memory.
Regarding the lost graduation photos, I'm gonna say that Reginald has magically erased evidence of his existence before now for... reasons. Maybe because he is embarrassed of how awkward he used to be
Or we can tie it into the Bigwallet/Price-Markovic family feud and say Sydney deliberately gave a cursed keepsake box to Hilary, knowing Reginald would jump at the chance to put in all his knickknacks and heirlooms in a move to one up him. BUT because it was cursed it destroyed the graduation photo, and Reginald could not recover it through non CC means (Breanne and Hilary were both smart enough to create copies of their photos and keep the originals) So in doing so, Sydney managed to outmaneuver Reginald’s one upping and pulled one over him in his final moments of life 😂
Every time James complained about not having money while dragging the dirty dishes to the sink instead of the trash can, an angel lost its wings. James!! Please!!! Just drag the dishes and trash to the very expensive money making trash can. It takes like 2 seconds for you to be able to put another dirty dish inside it. Stop asking your sims to clean the dishes, they will just wash them and you’ll loose money
I guess he is doing it on purpose? so lets plaay wouldnt be so easy? cuz you can see him dragging some plates over a trash can and then putting them in the sink .
@@san.1300 I thought he got the fancy trash to try out if it's worth it... but he seems to forget to use it most of the times, so he will never see the true potential xD
If anyone's looking for a way to "back up" sims photos without making cc: you can put the photos in a room and then save that room to your gallery Whenever you need the photos again just plunk the room down. You can do this as many times as you want for infinite copies of the photos. That way even if the ones in the box get messed up you can still get your photos back
I actually liked that Addison was sleeping in Ash's bed while Ash slept on the floor in his parents' room. I can't be the only one who was kicked out of their bed if family came to stay 😅
I always love the cute little chair hop when James gets super excited like when he saw Sandalwood or like when he realized there were Batuu toddler clothes in hsy.
Quinn not being able to decide when to quit her job ended up being a very good story element. It reminds me of my childhood, back when you could support a family and own a house on a single income. My mom stuck it out with working until I was like 5 or 6 before she quit.
I was thinking it’s more like that one coworker everyone has that comes in every day saying how much they hate their job and they’re going to quit, but never do 🤣
Addison had kids young, and so did Quinn, so I guess Addison could be like, 50ish now? I know a lot of 50 yr olds who look pretty young. But I bet once his grandkids are teens, he'd look older, that would make sense.
@@Kristenhas3cats I don't think the problem is so much how young he looks but his outfit. He's dressed even more informally than his children making him seem like he's younger than them. He could stay looking young be get a more mature outfit and haircut so he looks like the parent and not another brother.
The medical wearable are awesome, but agreed, it's annoying going through and making sure the hearing aid is not only on the correct ear, the single vs double ear option, but making sure it's on the outfits that make sense. Definitely room for improvement there. Would be nice to have the option for glasses too, I find myself avoiding them out of laziness, even though most of the people I know IRL have some sort of corrective lenses.
Piercings too. I wish there was an option to auto apply certain accessories across all outfits. Even makeup and nails, it's tedious selecting make-up for each catergory. I don't wanna lose the ability to customise them per outfir, but a "copy to" function that lets you pick the catergories you want those aspects copied to would be sooooo useful. And talking of additional CAS features, a button the clear all across all outfits would be so useful. Every time I make a new sim I have to go through every outfit catergory and remove every piece of clothing and accessory to just start on a blank canvas of sorts.
@@Laurastar2009 a ‘copy to’ function would be AMAZING. I rarely use jewelry, makeup, hats, and glasses because it’s so annoying to reapply for every outfit. Or i might do it for one sim but leave all the others plain 🤣
@@Laurastar2009 The funny thing is, I think the game DOES have this coding already - it just only chooses to work at completely arcane times. I've definitely had sims where I did the makeup or glasses on everyday, and found it copied to all other outfits - but then the very next sim in the family, I have to do it outfit by outfit again. To this day I cannot replicate it on demand, and it's very rare. It is a complete mystery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@x1asheratmidnight1x The frustrating thing is that Sims 3 actually has this feature. You could lock clothing across outfits and certain accessories like glasses would do it automatically. Idk why they neglected to add it to this game.
Just an FYI, if you set up the initial event, you can go back and edit it after with other sims, so that you can invite the people that you want. Your sim that sets up the event doesnt need to know anyone! 😉
This is SUCH a helpful tip for events that are planned out rather than starting immediately. I had no idea other household members could edit an event started by a different household member! That is SUPER helpful!
For Ash looking for voidcritters, kids can dig in the dirt piles (that were added with cats and dogs) they can also look for toys in the frog logs and in bins. There is quite a high chance of finding voidcritter cards that way.
James' solution for the blacked out photo bug is innovative, if somewhat work-intensive for most Simmers. Good reminder though that photos you take in-game get saved to the screenshots folder along with just the ordinary screenshots. One way to make sure you always have a copy yourself.
The parents bedrooms were always an unspoken off limits location when I had sleepovers. It would be extremely unsettling to have to bunk down there, especially if the parents were the stand-offish type.
I feel like next time the slumber party should definitely be at the Granddads' home! I can imagine Quinn and Koji sending them away and I'm sure Kevin and Reginald would love to be surrounded by kids again!
Great episode! A suggestion for Quinn and making money via painting: since she is past level 6 of the painting skill, Quinn should focus on making Classic Paintings since the probability of making them high quality (and selling them for more $$$) is higher than other types. Also, you could save up some satisfaction points for the Marketable (1,500) and/or the Creative Visionary (2,000) reward traits for Quinn. They woudl also help sell her paintings for more :)
I would like to add that I've seen it recently in a video of Deligracy that she put those paintings up on plopsy and got a whole bunch of money this way.
Love the house renovation on your other channel! Don't forget to pack the camera when you decide to move the family there ☺ I have a suggestion for Quinn: Could you perhaps change her sleepwear/robe into something more casual like loungewear? Since she's always wearing the robe and it might be chilly when she is painting outside on the porch.
An easy way for the kids to meet other kids is to have them socialize at school. They'll meet other kids and occasionally invite them over after school (which you can decline if you don't want them over right then).
If you have GT, you can also make a Club with all kids, and you will know them as soon as the Club is formed. You can put the siblings in, too, and they will know them. You just sort for that in the Requirements. It works really well for any age, actually, like for Teens meeting Teens. You will have to have a gathering to get the parents to meet them all, tho, before you can invite them to the Party. Oh, someone was saying in another comment that you can go back and Edit upcoming Events with ANOTHER Sim and add people they know. If this is true----mindblooowwnnn!
I have the treehouse bug as well (everyone wanting to sleep in the treehouse). I wish they would limit Autonomous treehouse sleeping to sims with traits such as "Adventurous", "Loves Outdoors" or "Survivalist". I also think "Loner" or "Dauntless" would be acceptable for that Autonomy as well. Moving on to sleepovers: I did a sleepover in my legacy, and I ended up moving the furniture to the walls (in the biggest room in the house) so the kids could set up their sleeping bags. Which is realistic for me because when I had sleepovers as a kid that's what my parents did for me so my friends could set up their sleeping bags.
They need to transfer hearing aids and glasses to work outfits. Or give us the ability to edit it in a small capacity, same with the school outfits in the snow mountain world which i don't know how to spell, let us pick the color and give the Sims their glasses and hearing aids.
For work outfits, turn cheats on, then type sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas and then you can edit the outfit however you like and add hearing aids and stuff
You gotta try the clubs for getting kid friends! It's my favorite thing to use them for. Its a great way to meet teens and kids by setting age limits. Theoretically you could do this with Elders and other age groups too.
@ZachPizazz yeah it's just more space there especially after I moved the tables around and renovated the kitchen. That way they can pretty much sleep anywhere on the floor 🤣. The hard part is getting everyone to sleep.
Lol love how James continues to build into the house yet Quinn and Koji’s room is still bare with only a bed. 😂😂Loving this series! Keep up the good work James! 🎉
Parents always put themselves last. When I was young, my mother used to comment how she and my Dad hadn't had new clothes for years.. of course clothes held up better back then.
Tip for your next slumber party I found helpful. Host the slumber party at the rec center and use the "Get slumber party snacks" button. The rec center has EVERYTHING you need for the goals of the party and much more room. And the snacks button delivers a pizza directly into your inventory. Hope that helps!
This episode is sooo chaotic I absolutely love it ahahahaha! ♥ having 10 people in the kitchen grabbing servings while they still can was just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I put my sim family in the bigger house, (Celeste is a widow in my game so I moved them and my sims make $800 & $1200/hour).They have 5 kids and it’s perfect for them. I love it! The only thing I had to change was at the stairs I shifted the hallway columns and upper stairs back one and lowered the platform by one. My game kept getting confused by the height of the ceiling and my adults couldn’t get upstairs. But otherwise it’s an amazing house! I love it so much!
I love the encourage interaction-you get to give your kids positive feedback for doing good things like taking care of themselves or helping out around the house. As someone who loves family gp it fills my heart with joy.
what about an outdoor slumber party with that kit that comes with the outdoor screen for watching films, and play tent, they could sleep under the treehouse!
It would be fun to see you combine the Little Campers kit with the slumber party and have them sleep out in the backyard with their friends. They could watch a movie on that makeshift screen and do smores and such. Also, pizza is traditional sleep over food. I have literally never heard of anything else being served unless I was the only guest. Just saying, you may need to try again with the younger kids once the parents have some money.
As far as I can tell, anytime your caregiver Sim says "Bath time!" or "potty?" to their toddler, the strict option pops up. But you can yell at your toddler repeatedly, and never see the strict option. Interesting choices, EA.
I think Quin could make more paintings faster if she uses the drawing pad. At least that’s what I remember from one of your videos about making money fast in the sims. The one where Semaj lives on an island and sells painting from the selling wall.
Trenton was checking out the neighbourhood since he and Hazel want to move from the farm to suburbia. Maybe they can purchase this house when Quinn, Rye and Koji move to a bigger home.
I’m so eager to see you get into that new house!! I LOVE that build and I can’t wait to see your sims live in it and give it a more personalized/lived in feel! Bring on the $$ grind!!
@@rjafitzgerald yeah it seems to work fine for me... I just have to drag the item out of my inventory to send it off sometimes because my SIM won't take it to the mailbox but otherwise no issues and I make tons of cash
I think what we really need to do is get koji in the freelance writer carrier and quinn in the freelance painting carrer, because they both can be home but also earn a lot more money at once to move into the new house :)
Luckily you can either wait for Monday so the kids get extra credit assignments but you can also buy them if you want a specific kid to learn a specific skill
Thanks for letting us know about the photo bug after others pointed it out. I was unaware of this and I know I've had some photos mysteriously go black on me and I couldn't figure out why. Now I know how to avoid it.
i’m so glad i went thru and watched every episode from the beginning last year. so worth it lol. every few months i come back to binge whatever is new and rejoice in the fact that this is such a long-running series :) so cool
I think someone may have said this but in case not, the bin thing is because when a single sim does it the game recognizes it as one sim ie 10 bucks. But when you do it as the player, the game doesn’t know which single sim you are so it gives you 10 for everyone in the household!
For next episode you could try taking the family to the community centre, try performing comedy or guitar for tips there (remembering Dr Gluon's 100 baby challenge, I think you'll probably get more tips from guitar, but it might be fun to try both). Quin could paint there too.
In the future during a slumber party. You could just temporarily move the couch and coffee table over to a far wall. That would be totally realistic as well.
Can I make a suggestion, if you are going to put a second story on, why not put it in an attic or basement? To keep items like baby beds and toys, decorations, and of course, keepsake boxes, That way you can clean the inventories out, and the basement and attic can be converted to a teen's bedroom. You can also put an extra laundry and bathroom in the basement area. With the family growing like it is, you are going to need all the room you can get. Also, why not have chickens in the backyard?? And how about pets?? Like a cat or a dog?? Or maybe one of the younger kids can get a hamster--nah, not with rabid rodent fever.
I think he said (in the build video for the upgraded house he built) that when he has a lot of sims, he likes to have them all on one level because it's easier for him to keep track of them.
Another great episode, thank you. The new Cemetery CC is awesome, well done to both you and FreakinChaz. I love that Addison is still behaving like the spoiled kid he once was with mud baths and taking over a toddler's bed to avoid the sleepover chaos 😂
14:13 The bin itself is bugged. I have had my sims put it in themselves and for a while, they were only getting a portion of the funds (whether it was 10 or 20 simoleans - I currently have a 4 sim household). I would drag it in to get the full amount. After a while, I was getting the full amount whether a sim used it or I dragged it in. I guess it corrected with use. You can try to have your sims continue to use it and see if it will correct itself or just continue to drag. Also, you could add the simoleans manually for all the funds you missed out on.
Ive only just watched the beginning but wanted to comment on this while it was fresh in my mind. With the CC photos - since James is doing it this way he should grab the photos from the Bigwallet Factory building & have those in the keepsake box too. Photos from the beginning!
If you swapped the parents room and toddlers room, you could move the hallway one tile over and keep the stairs where they are. That would also put the parents room at the front of the house and the toddlers room in the back, which is a real world consideration some would make.
Just imagine the kids coming home: "MoOOOm! DaAAAaad! I invited all my new friends over for a sleepover tonight! We need to build a second story on the house! QUICK!!!”
😂😂😂😂
Omg imagine if Sergio was their dad:
*whispers to wife* can't we just put them all in the basement?
Wife: Seriously Sergio? 🙄 no, that's where I have my girl time. How about your man shed?
Sergio: Okay you made your point. Grandma's house it is.
43:36
I guess poor Reginald was destined to never have an official in-game graduation photo 😅
I vote for a basement as the sleep over spot. My grandparents had the coolest basement and we always looked forward to family sleep overs.
They had a sleeper sofa, bar (we know the Sims loves bars), a popcorn machine, an ice cream maker, a full bathroom, and steps that lead to the back yard. My cousins and I would have a blast. They also had wall darts but we were banded after an "incident" lol.
I want the house take all my money

I love the fact that James hasn't noticed his column is missing and took the house photo, still unknowingly 😂😂😂🏡
I was just about to comment on that myself.😂
Edit: He'd noticed in the thumbnail though, if you look. Must've finally spotted it in editing.
so anticlimactic
I just got to this part of the video and came to the comments to either mention it or see if James found it yet
Especially since an ancestor of this family was named Column!
@@BattyBigSister Yeah I saw it in the edit and fixed it haha
Regarding the lost graduation photos, I'm gonna say that Reginald has magically erased evidence of his existence before now for... reasons. Maybe because he is embarrassed of how awkward he used to be
Agreed 😁
Or we can tie it into the Bigwallet/Price-Markovic family feud and say Sydney deliberately gave a cursed keepsake box to Hilary, knowing Reginald would jump at the chance to put in all his knickknacks and heirlooms in a move to one up him. BUT because it was cursed it destroyed the graduation photo, and Reginald could not recover it through non CC means (Breanne and Hilary were both smart enough to create copies of their photos and keep the originals) So in doing so, Sydney managed to outmaneuver Reginald’s one upping and pulled one over him in his final moments of life 😂

I put my sim family in the bigger house, (Celeste is a widow in my game so I moved them and my sims make $800 & $1200/hour).They have 5 kids and it’s perfect for them. I love it! The only thing I had to change was at the stairs I shifted the hallway columns and upper stairs back one and lowered the platform by one. My game kept getting confused by the height of the ceiling and my adults couldn’t get upstairs. But otherwise it’s an amazing house! I love it so much!
That’s such good feedback about the stairs - hopefully he sees! Silly sims stair glitches.
@@skyechimes658 Thank you. I hope it comes across as me just trying to be helpful, cause that’s all that I’m trying to do is be helpful.
I love the encourage interaction-you get to give your kids positive feedback for doing good things like taking care of themselves or helping out around the house. As someone who loves family gp it fills my heart with joy.
what about an outdoor slumber party with that kit that comes with the outdoor screen for watching films, and play tent, they could sleep under the treehouse!
James, I found a mod that generates university graduation photos. its called Generate Graduation Photo Mod
I had no clue that chest from university even existed 😮
I just realized Quinn & Willow have matching hairstyles, how cute!
It would be fun to see you combine the Little Campers kit with the slumber party and have them sleep out in the backyard with their friends. They could watch a movie on that makeshift screen and do smores and such. Also, pizza is traditional sleep over food. I have literally never heard of anything else being served unless I was the only guest. Just saying, you may need to try again with the younger kids once the parents have some money.
As far as I can tell, anytime your caregiver Sim says "Bath time!" or "potty?" to their toddler, the strict option pops up. But you can yell at your toddler repeatedly, and never see the strict option. Interesting choices, EA.
Aspen is literally a mini Koji its sooo cute!
Couldn’t help but laugh when James was getting Ash and Willow to meet all the kids at the park.. all I could think of was how he had to Catch ‘em All.
the amount of sims that manage to be in this one house is unmatched. absolute chaos lol
He is not wearing his hearing aid at work because his opinion is right and he doesn't need to hear the opinions from others 🌟
the trenton interaction at 9:14 had me actually real-life laughing
"So, hum, money making wise... we need to make money !" love that quote James, can relate hahaha
I think Quin could make more paintings faster if she uses the drawing pad. At least that’s what I remember from one of your videos about making money fast in the sims. The one where Semaj lives on an island and sells painting from the selling wall.
Trenton was checking out the neighbourhood since he and Hazel want to move from the farm to suburbia. Maybe they can purchase this house when Quinn, Rye and Koji move to a bigger home.
I’m so eager to see you get into that new house!! I LOVE that build and I can’t wait to see your sims live in it and give it a more personalized/lived in feel! Bring on the $$ grind!!
I'm begging you to list your paintings on plopsy. I can't wait for us to move into the new house!😂
Yeah plus the marketable trait... Its my favourite way to make money
Wait does Plopsy actually work now?! I stopped even trying to use it after it just never sold things
@@rjafitzgerald yeah it seems to work fine for me... I just have to drag the item out of my inventory to send it off sometimes because my SIM won't take it to the mailbox but otherwise no issues and I make tons of cash
Quinn over here with the gentle parenting lol
I love that as time goes back with your playthroughs, your custom content grow betters. That Bigwallet Family Crest 😍 the glow 🤩
I think what we really need to do is get koji in the freelance writer carrier and quinn in the freelance painting carrer, because they both can be home but also earn a lot more money at once to move into the new house :)
James could have set up the slumber party outside with the massive garden but chose to have the chaos inside.
May be James should make a club with only kids to meet other kids in the world
Luckily you can either wait for Monday so the kids get extra credit assignments but you can also buy them if you want a specific kid to learn a specific skill
Thanks for letting us know about the photo bug after others pointed it out. I was unaware of this and I know I've had some photos mysteriously go black on me and I couldn't figure out why. Now I know how to avoid it.
i’m so glad i went thru and watched every episode from the beginning last year. so worth it lol. every few months i come back to binge whatever is new and rejoice in the fact that this is such a long-running series :) so cool
-12°C is NOT cold, its spring BBQ weather 😋 but I am Canadian so 😂
That sleepover was such chaos! I was crying with laughter 😂 I almost woke up my daughter right when you said how's that kid sleeping in the kitchen 😂
I think someone may have said this but in case not, the bin thing is because when a single sim does it the game recognizes it as one sim ie 10 bucks. But when you do it as the player, the game doesn’t know which single sim you are so it gives you 10 for everyone in the household!
In my current save, my family that's staying over had covered every surface with half started white cakes 🙃🙃🙃
Silly as it might be, you could probably have your Sim paint the photos and keep them that way! it's not quite the same but you know, needs must.
For next episode you could try taking the family to the community centre, try performing comedy or guitar for tips there (remembering Dr Gluon's 100 baby challenge, I think you'll probably get more tips from guitar, but it might be fun to try both). Quin could paint there too.
In the future during a slumber party. You could just temporarily move the couch and coffee table over to a far wall. That would be totally realistic as well.
Maybe the main room could be in the corner and the play room be next to the kitchen? I feel like the space could be used a little better.
Can I make a suggestion, if you are going to put a second story on, why not put it in an attic or basement? To keep items like baby beds and toys, decorations, and of course, keepsake boxes, That way you can clean the inventories out, and the basement and attic can be converted to a teen's bedroom. You can also put an extra laundry and bathroom in the basement area. With the family growing like it is, you are going to need all the room you can get. Also, why not have chickens in the backyard?? And how about pets?? Like a cat or a dog?? Or maybe one of the younger kids can get a hamster--nah, not with rabid rodent fever.
I think he said (in the build video for the upgraded house he built) that when he has a lot of sims, he likes to have them all on one level because it's easier for him to keep track of them.
I actually found it easier to have an outdoor slumber party, more room and then they get sleeping under stars moodlet.
Another great episode, thank you. The new Cemetery CC is awesome, well done to both you and FreakinChaz. I love that Addison is still behaving like the spoiled kid he once was with mud baths and taking over a toddler's bed to avoid the sleepover chaos 😂
You should go to the original big wallet factory building and grab the photos of lady bigwallet and afrodisiac.
14:13 The bin itself is bugged. I have had my sims put it in themselves and for a while, they were only getting a portion of the funds (whether it was 10 or 20 simoleans - I currently have a 4 sim household). I would drag it in to get the full amount. After a while, I was getting the full amount whether a sim used it or I dragged it in. I guess it corrected with use. You can try to have your sims continue to use it and see if it will correct itself or just continue to drag. Also, you could add the simoleans manually for all the funds you missed out on.
I love your let’s plays. Been watching for years ! ❤
Ive only just watched the beginning but wanted to comment on this while it was fresh in my mind. With the CC photos - since James is doing it this way he should grab the photos from the Bigwallet Factory building & have those in the keepsake box too. Photos from the beginning!
Waiting for your video all day ❤ (its 5pm in Austria)
Honestly it’s kinda accurate. Toddlers just do want they want and feed them when they are hungry. 😂 one of the most frustrating and fun ages.
23:43 James was so excited 😂 so cute
Let’s gooooooooo
I would love brianne to have kids so they could have sleepovers at her place and play with the photo equipments!
I thought the comments would be about that pillar That got deleted when adding the second story. Well, I guess the easel can hold up the roof. 😂
If you swapped the parents room and toddlers room, you could move the hallway one tile over and keep the stairs where they are. That would also put the parents room at the front of the house and the toddlers room in the back, which is a real world consideration some would make.
You could also use the selling wall for Quinn’s paintings, you could have the new house in one episode.
The struggle for money and chaotic sleepovers makes this very realistic. ❤️
This let’s play is so domestic. I love it so much
You should make Quinn paint a picture of the house with the paint from reference !! ❤
