For early game rags to riches I always use the beach towels from island living, since sims can nap on them. Also once I’ve caught some more expensive fish, I’ll use the pond tool to make a pond on the tiny home lot and only select the expensive fish to stock the pond.
I think if he just brought all eight Sims to a lot with many fishing spots, and had them all start fishing immediately, he could have made at least enough money for four tents before everyone started passing out. Organizing the clubs could be a day two activity, or maybe two of the Semah could have been meeting new Sims while the rest fished. But obviously it's always easier in hindsight.
This was a really entertaining and different way to tackle this challenge. There's only one piece of the puzzle that was missing. When all your clubs gathered enough Club Points, you could have used the club points to boost their painting skills. Couple that with the Tiny Living bonus and everyone would skill up super quickly. Higher skill = more valuable paintings.
I have a Club tip: if you choose a requirement for members like ”child” or ”female” for example. Then you go back to picking sims- the sims coming up as available have changed 😌
Yeah you could get 6 separate clubs by having male and female clubs for adult, young adult, and elder. You do have the issue of sims ageing up but you can always turn off ageing. I don't think that's cheating for a challenge like this.
@@gubivitschwob1619 when you lead a club you get perk points and you can unlock the “rally the troops” interaction. When you use that interaction during a club gathering, it fills up the needs of all the club members!
It might have been less taxing if you had clubs to fulfill needs. One or two clubs have an added activity.. cooking.. cleaning.. fixing... Maybe it would have also helped if the clubs went on a rotation. Two to 3 clubs on the lot at a time This has inspired me, on console so can't cheat this way.. but, definitely want to try some things out! 😀
I seriously just dropped dead watching this I couldn't stop laughing at all the chaos going on. And when the fire started I've never seen that many Sims actually put out a fire...lmao!! Loved this to funny..and keeping up with all the Semaj Sims was a task in itself lol!
The moment James considered getting a caterer for all his club painters just solidified this whole video as a speedrun to an Amazon simulator. It's genius that you can simulate real life company working environments.
I believe you can run 3 clubs at once, your sim just can't join more than 1 at a time, but the rest of the club members will still be there if you start it. So you could potentially do this with less sims or throw in more chaos with 24 clubs (and a chance of breaking the game 😂)
Hi, I've been watching your let's plays and challenges for a few weeks now and you've actually made me interested in playing the game myself. I've had it for years and would occasionally play for a few hours, then get bored of it. But it's so much more fun to do challenges and rags to riches now that I know how that works. So thanks!
Im watching this and im imagining turning up to the park and seeing alllll the James's fishing together who turn and say 'welcome back " as one unit. Thats the stuff of nightmares !! Love you though James :D
Why not try the tablet painting with a full household? Or using the mod to have a huge household and giving everyone a painting tablet? It's faster and if everyone is in your household, you'd have access to their inventory.
Go to Egypt. Find a bunch of gems, metals and relics. Transfigure the low value stuff into Soulpeace and Supernovium for gems and metals respectively. If you find any uncut Tiberium, make sure to cut it with the Supernatural gem cutter because the bonus dust will also grow into large spires. Optionally: Raise the Science skill and start cloning everything and completely break the economy.
Interesting let's play and experiment with having multiple clubs and Sims on one lot painting. I love the humor that came out of playing this. Thanks James, I always look forward to seeing your videos.
To cover the beds you should have used the big tent from Outdoor retreat. It allows many sims to sleep at once. May not be quick but is better than buying many beds
Hey James, I hope all is well with you and your family. I just wanted you to know I love when I get notifications for you. I enjoy your let's play so much. Thank you for this video. It made my morning. Can you please please do a little more let's plays?
James never buys a light in the sims. Every game he complains " its so dark here" ahahah you placed the roof james !! Buy a light please!! Ahahah its hilarious every time
Just add members by searching by traits that each club leader has and it will bring up every sim that matches it. Similarly you could have done it with single sims or sims the same age.
I love this idea. One way you can deal with the using the bathroom and showers, use the debug public restrooms. You can put 4 hour cause they cost nothing, and 2 sims at a time can use the bathroom in them, and you can take showers in them as well.
you can try to use the club perk "rally the troops" to fill your needs. if I remember correctly it fills most of them up and you can use it several time (unless that was a bug and they fixed it)
What I like to do with each lot is put in a pond with a fishing sign from debug, and then there's the JA bathroom in debug too. That's a big help with these rags to riches.
Wouldn't Sulani be a better starting world. Could use the public easels on the wharves, nap on the loungers on the beach, fish etc. and then move when you get established. plus the weather is milder LOL
There is a mod by Carl that's called Dine Out Reloaded, if you wanted to use that to make a million simoleons. Carl also did Collectibles Ready, Burglars Mod, and Retail: Reloaded Mod. There is a Live in Business mod by LittleMsSam. Suggestions for Million simoleons: 1. Use the same household you used here. Create a community lot with 8 businesses on it, so it's sort of like a strip mall. Maybe they could be 1. restaurant 2. Yoga classes 3. meditation classes 4. retail store for maybe cross stitches, knitting and woodworking (whatever you decide) 5. a Bar 6. photo studio 7. a lounge or coffee cafe where the sim plays an instrument for tips 8. (whatever you decide) or whatever you decide the businesses should be. 2. Use the same household you used here and use Carl's Real Estate mod. Maybe the Semajs live in an apartment. 3. Take the idea of the Million Simoleons scenario and apply that to TS1, TS2 (maybe live in an apartment) and TS3 and see how long it takes you to make a million simoleons in the three previous games, but without the lottery in TS3 because that's too easy. At the very least, maybe the mods listed will give you an idea for a video. Quick question: Since you have a random trait generator for sims on your site, do you plan to create a random lot trait and lot challenge generator?
I really would like James to do a challenge with the transformgun from get to work. Make a house with stuff he transformed and sell the rest from a store
When he bought a traditional bin instead of the magic money bin that gives you $10 for each member of your household every time you use it… Think about that! $80 for each of those bowls would’ve made a big difference!
I always start my rags to riches fishing on the dock at Magnolia Promenade. I steadily pull in dragon fruit, cowberries, and voodoo dolls. Imagine if all eight Sims were pulling in those all day. You'd have enough for easels, a shower, a toilet and a couple beds.
Everyone in the world knows how to paint and it fairly good at it and then we sell the masterpiece paintings to those who can already paint. Brilliant.
I like this idea! I might copy it... with WooHoo clubs 😂 lilsimsie did a 12-hr livestream where her Sims were in a WooHoo club, with like 50% risky pregnancy.
you should have done penny pixels, you would have gotten more money. you also could've gotten the recycle bin and made money that way too. Great video, fun to watch.
set a max household of 48, randomize put them all in the clubs, give them all the art drawing tablets. You get all the paintings, just have to go through all 48 inventories. XD
Rags to riches idea that you partly mention at the start of the video could be a cool idea, $0 start but have to take care of 8 sims, then make it base game only or something lol
So I tried this, but I took it a level further. I made an retail store with a backroom full of easels, a kitchenette, a table and a bathroom. I then invited my club over to do a gathering, and as they painted I would have my Sim add the paintings to his inventory, move it onto one of the walls in the store and then add a frame and set it to sale. You gotta do it quick, otherwise the club members will vanish the painting to start a new painting. I dunno why, but you can't just drag it from the easel to the wall and set it to sell, only after you put it in your inventory. I did this for 9 in-game hours, having them paint and selling their paintings for a profit. Made about 800 bucks in the first day with 311 going to my employee as wages. Still made a profit as I didn't have the pay a cent for the paintings to be made. I think I created a sweatshop.
I was so confused at first, I thought this was going to be running 8 nightclubs with the real estate mod 😂
Same
Me too 🤦♀️
Same! 😂
same lol
That would have been better.
For early game rags to riches I always use the beach towels from island living, since sims can nap on them.

Organizing the clubs could be a day two activity, or maybe two of the Semah could have been meeting new Sims while the rest fished. But obviously it's always easier in hindsight.
I usually make my sims love the outdoors and buy them a tent! Or make them dance machines and have them take disco naps on benches or chairs 😂
This was a really entertaining and different way to tackle this challenge. There's only one piece of the puzzle that was missing. When all your clubs gathered enough Club Points, you could have used the club points to boost their painting skills. Couple that with the Tiny Living bonus and everyone would skill up super quickly.

Yeeees, club perks are lifesavers!!
I think the solution for the food is the party buffet table to stock and the warming table from get to work!
Yes! I was hoping he would try it this time
Or the cauldron and make heaps of Mac and cheese
@@mh9285 Will non-household sims autonomously take servings of food from a cauldron if they're hungry?
Too bad the scientist career’s mind control thing doesn’t have “paint” as an option.
Was thinking the same thing
I have a Club tip: if you choose a requirement for members like ”child” or ”female” for example. Then you go back to picking sims- the sims coming up as available have changed 😌
I was going to comment this!

James! I can’t believe you forgot about the “rally the troops” interaction! That would have solved everyone’s needs!
what is that
@@gubivitschwob1619 when you lead a club you get perk points and you can unlock the “rally the troops” interaction. When you use that interaction during a club gathering, it fills up the needs of all the club members!
@@mimmalee that's so useful! I didn't know that
@@mimmalee WHAT?!?! I NEVER KNEW THAT!!!
@@danitho yea! It’s super useful!
"They can just pee themselves. That's fine." 😂 I wasn't expecting this challenge to be so hilarious.

The debilitating sadness I felt when James didn’t holler, “KATRINA!” at the university library 😭💔
same!! So sad!!

Eight Semaj Renruts in various different wigs and clothes is a very surreal sight. A sort of "Sims 4: Being John Malkovitch Gamepack"
Why not try the tablet painting with a full household? Or using the mod to have a huge household and giving everyone a painting tablet? It's faster and if everyone is in your household, you'd have access to their inventory.
Good thing Chaz and Trenton weren’t there at the end. They would have been struck by lightning. A lot.
All those James feels like when all the Loki met.
Oh, about collectibles - another trait that helps is geek! Maybe that Semaj that found a lot of stuff has this trait.
you could place the buffet table from wedding stories! I remember using the buffet tables in Sims 2 a lot so I didn't have to have my sims cook lol
Alternate title: Sims-616 Semaj collected his variants to start each of their own painting club to make money
this was such an entertaining video!! the ending with so many sims gradually using all the easels was really satisfying
"We also need a toilet, but they can just pee themselves, that's fine" made me die laughing 😂😂😂
Would love to see the 1,000,000 simoleon challenge in the Sims 3. There are so many weird ways to make a fortune
Go to Egypt.
Find a bunch of gems, metals and relics.
Transfigure the low value stuff into Soulpeace and Supernovium for gems and metals respectively.
If you find any uncut Tiberium, make sure to cut it with the Supernatural gem cutter because the bonus dust will also grow into large spires.

this was hilarious. i lost it when the fridge caught on fire and they all tried putting it out at once lmao.
To cover the beds you should have used the big tent from Outdoor retreat. It allows many sims to sleep at once. May not be quick but is better than buying many beds
I can imagine my PC go BRRRRR if I tried to start 8 gatherings at the same time 😂
I think a household of 8 Semaj Renrut’s should be called either a “Rabble of Renrut’s” or “Swarm or Semaj’s”.
Hey James, I hope all is well with you and your family. I just wanted you to know I love when I get notifications for you. I enjoy your let's play so much. Thank you for this video. It made my morning. Can you please please do a little more let's plays?
I think he plans on doing a let’s play when the new game pack comes out :D
Every sim taking out the fire made me laugh so much lmao
James never buys a light in the sims.
Every game he complains " its so dark here" ahahah you placed the roof james !! Buy a light please!! Ahahah its hilarious every time

When adding Sims to clubs you can filter by skills or careers so the list would update
Chef's Kitchen is a useful lot trait. If you start any food (including quick meals) your sim gets an Inspired moodlet
Saw the title and came for the chaos. I was not disappointed.
What I like to do with each lot is put in a pond with a fishing sign from debug, and then there's the JA bathroom in debug too. That's a big help with these rags to riches.
Semaj Renrut in the Multiverse of Madness.
It always gives me feels to see the sim Eric Lewis in videos because he was the sim I used to start my legacy challenge.
Long haired Semaj needs to find his way to my game lol. I love how stylish and perfect his coif is.
Love starting my weekend with a James Turner video 👌🏻
Oh when james uploads its the best part of my day 😊
You finally added MCC! Its such a great mod! I love when you do these kind of challenges.
He had for a long time but only uses it when doing less strict challenges
I never laugh out loud at YT videos but the fifty fire extinguishers (spelling?) on the piss fridge did it for me
you spelled extinguishers correctly 😁
@@SageArdor Awesome, thanks!
Agreed I laughed so hard. 🤣
Hello University Youngens, could I interest you in a business opportunity?
Its totally not an MLM or a cult.
Tip: if you don’t have the expansion for clubs then, use the group function to get sims to do things together.
Oh my god, I just realized Semaj Renrut is james Turner backwards, I thought it was an Arab name or something.
loved the fire extinguishing club! 😂
The James Turner aka Semaj Renrut version of What Happened to Monday! Love it!
I love these videos. It’d be fun to see James try to tackle the scenarios in the older sims games as well
Maybe fill out what they can’t do in the club. Like NO Talking 🤷♀️ would that work?
Love all your trial and error vids
Yeh but perhaps that would mean they get tense from low social needs?
Yeah I thought about that too. It may solve that problem
Eight James’s at one time! 👀
Ahhhhh! 😳
*Runs away in terror* 🏃♀️
Tips:
Set talking as a forbidden activity in Club settings
Get the Inspired Club Perk
Gat the painting skill club perk
THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH AT ONE POINT, I never laughed out loud while watching a video 💀✨
Wouldn't Sulani be a better starting world. Could use the public easels on the wharves, nap on the loungers on the beach, fish etc. and then move when you get established. plus the weather is milder LOL
I think a tent that fits a few sims and a cooler would’ve been easier 🧐🤣🤷🏻♀️
Seeing all those little beds lined up is giving me Semaj and the seven Renruts vibes
I feel like this idea popped in James head whilst sleeping and he just woke up like.. yeah I’m going to do this today 😂
he literally showed the comment he got the idea from tho
Yeah it’s a user idea, Jaspirita
Loved the chaos! We have a thunderstorm happening here IRL, so I match the end of the video. It’s like surround sound! ⛈
I'm sure there is an exploitation of artists joke in here, I just cant find it.
I think you've found it 🤣
This is pure chaos and I'm here for it
I read the title as running 8 clubs as in nightclubs at the same time 🤦🏼♀️😂
Get a grill and a couple picnic tables. Club members will grill when hungry and leave the extra plates for everyone else.

May not be quicker, but it is far more ridiculously funny!
The start if this video shows very cult behaviour 😂😂😂
I'm so glad you tried this idea out! That was fun ^_^
James! Did you know there’s a mod where paintings go straight to your inventory?
the background music had me so hyped for the chaos I LOVE IT
I really would like James to do a challenge with the transformgun from get to work. Make a house with stuff he transformed and sell the rest from a store
My favourite Semaj was long haired earring Semaj.
the sims: *suffering*
james: i just need you to complete that painting
When he bought a traditional bin instead of the magic money bin that gives you $10 for each member of your household every time you use it… Think about that! $80 for each of those bowls would’ve made a big difference!
the moment when james forgets about buffet tables, spa day shower, and forming groups from gettogeter
Ah yes, another instalment of James' Sweatshop
I always start my rags to riches fishing on the dock at Magnolia Promenade. I steadily pull in dragon fruit, cowberries, and voodoo dolls. Imagine if all eight Sims were pulling in those all day. You'd have enough for easels, a shower, a toilet and a couple beds.
I'm going to do this!
Tartosa is another area that gives me dragon fruit and vodoo dolls. The empty lot that's all green
I would have started painting at an easel at the art gallery to get enough to buy easels for my own lot.
Everyone in the world knows how to paint and it fairly good at it and then we sell the masterpiece paintings to those who can already paint. Brilliant.
He ran a sweatshop for painters lol

Woah... I have never seen an ad plane fly over in this game until just now 0__0
i have watched wayyy too many videos to have only just realised ‘semaj renrut’ is james turner backwards…
James: I can’t control the weather
Also James: has MCCC
The Buffet Table from the First Stuff Pack and / or the Wedding stories can be filled up with one click. That is better than the caterer.
It took me waaaaaay too long to realize you weren’t talking about like a bar/night club x8 and instead talking about the sims “clubs” (aka cults) 😂
Oh my lord, was I the only screaming the whole time to put a light in??
It's so dark, can't see anything 😩
You should put talking with each other in the negative club activities!!
I think with this many sims a grill would make more sense than a fridge.
14:39 semaj dropping rubbish and collapsing face first into it lol
set a max household of 48, randomize put them all in the clubs, give them all the art drawing tablets. You get all the paintings, just have to go through all 48 inventories. XD
Me: Oh one of them aren't in the orange range anymore
Also me: oh their sleeping
Rags to riches idea that you partly mention at the start of the video could be a cool idea, $0 start but have to take care of 8 sims, then make it base game only or something lol
Each samaj can have three clubs. I think you can run more than one club gathering at a time per sim. I think I was doing that in my history challenge.
Knowledge for the ages: Fish first, then start your mandatory painting clubs.
So I tried this, but I took it a level further. I made an retail store with a backroom full of easels, a kitchenette, a table and a bathroom. I then invited my club over to do a gathering, and as they painted I would have my Sim add the paintings to his inventory, move it onto one of the walls in the store and then add a frame and set it to sale.
