Sims 4 exploits are wild. Queueing up the same interaction repeatedly can be used in a few places; one of my favorites is to get a few levels in Writing skill and then queue up several "Write Love Letters" to someone (there's a cooldown, but the queued ones will still go through). They can hate you when they go to bed, then wake up to an inbox full of romantic spam and be absolutely smitten.
my personal favorite is Clubs. You can literally make a harem. You can set club activities like Woohoo, try for baby, etc. So whenever you call a club meeting. After a while you'll start getting messages that you now have a child. So, whenever you get a child in your house, you receive gifts from every other child you have. These gifts are all toys ranging from 10 to 800 simoleons. My character has about 150 children and receives about 60000-70000 simoleons everytime a new child gets born in house. Then I usually move the newborn to a random family (but only to a family ingame, because otherwise they will stay a newborn) morally and ethically very questionable, but hilarious it's possible in the sims of all games.
@@katlikegaming you can do the same for fertilizing plants! just wait to be able to fertilize, make sure you have a ton of fertilizer, then click fertilize then PAUSE the game. continue queueing fertilizer. this works until your sim starts fertilizing :)
how are you supposed to retire in this economy if not by buying house when you're 20 in the middle of no where and then doing landlord shenanigans when you're old and the city grew over your land
Playing The Sims exactly as intended, by making the neighbours angry once you’re rich enough to not need any friends anymore, and eventually having a nice graveyard 👌
I'm pretty sure if reincarnation is a thing this man was not a serbian mortar shell launched at a bosnian hospital, but a brick in an egyptian pyramid.
You guys wanted laws to make it harder to evict you and then it became impossible for small landlords to afford the legal fight to evict deadbeats so they sold to massive holding companies who got a monopoly on rental properties and jacked the rents to the stratosphere. Lie in the bed you made.
horrifically....he's not that wrong. my buddy moved near (not even in) a major city, an apartment smaller than his $750 one here was legit $2000 a month. and even in nowheresville where I live, apartments like mine one are around $1200+. Depending on where spiff lives, a flat might legitimately cost around that much. housing prices are fucking ridiculous nowadays. the apartment prices around my area have doubled in the last 7 years -_-
Spiff has done quite a few get rich quick schemes in The Sims 4, and I have to say this is probably the one that involved the least amount of human suffering. Also the fastest. Well done?
When you added all the mailboxes I thought you were going to turn it into a tax haven like those Holland places that somehow house over a hundred businesses.
I thought he was just dividing it up to host multiple tenants in a space designed for one, and saying "Hang on a minute, that's not a Sims exploit, landlords already do that!", but he surprised me with where it went.
I usually do a silly little thing where if you manage people in the household, you can move in a person or move out a person from household to household, you can just take all of their money along with it. Do this with every household in the game, and now you have a lot of money. Not cheating tho so achievements are still available!
Spiff has done a vid about that actually ages ago, courting the wife of the richest family, moving in with them and then kicking them all out of their own home
There’s another glitch I found where if you move in a house hold of one then edit the house and merge another household of one it will give you 9999999 dollar, at least it worked a year ago
I like how the megastructure jail cell Spiff built was meant to be an exaggeration but I know student accommodation in London is much much worse and costs more
The best money glitch is still working up to the money tree, and when it's ready to be harvested, just put it in inventory and you'll get all the fruits from the tree, making it possible to plant another 10 trees or so.
Another way to use the move household in to get lots of money is by building a house you want then building basements full of fridges that are expensive then moving the sim into the house and selling all the fridges in the basement. This keeps achievements on and my be a little simpler then doing this amazing renting exploit. Great video by the way, fun to watch.
To be honest, thanks for staying with us and not retiring. I'm always excited then new videos pop up and hope we'll be exploiting even more and better thanks for all this years
Its a lovely job to do and I have a team / family that depends on me to keep working so I am more than happy to stick with it :) Comments like this definitely help motivate me though
I always find myself chuckling at your Sims videos. I don't play it myself, but it is very fun to watch you play such a perfectly balanced game, without any exploits whatsoever.
Man, I haven't watched your videos in quite a while, but they're so good, I'm glad this was recommended, I needed to come back to these awesome videos.
I love how the first exploit was for the mailboxes and then it turned into Spiff discovering a another exploit that's even worse (or better), this stuff never gets old!
And Spiff turns The Sims 4 into Prison Architect. But I suppose that after turning Prison Architect into a tea plantation, a tree farm, and a warden cloning facility, it only makes sense to restore the original game concept... using a different game, of course.
I need a continuation of this specific rental structure but it gets sold to Jim Pickens in a crossover event with CallMeKevin. I need to see what Kevin would do as a landlord with this mega rental complex 😂
YOURE BACK! Don’t leave me without a tea fueled overlord for long again. My American thoughts were returning. Haunted by thoughts of dumping tea into the sea and drinking hot bean juice. Thank you spiff you stopped the voices…
Im sure someone has already mentioned this but a few seconds of scrolling didn't reveal them so. You can actually fill all those bedrooms! With rental properties you can split one plot into multiple rental properties, and you can pick which individual rental each room belongs to and set rooms (like the kitchen in this case) to be communal. The Craggs don't need all that space for just them.
I went to school at leicester and cambridge, and live in the US. I can fully believe that "No Ghost" is definitely a rule that you will 100% have to pay a fine for in any housing unit.
@16:00 Classic British: build a house with all the zeal of an interior decorator working on the steerage of the Titanic, with a dash of grudge against the poor.
I love how the game refusing to simulate the actual socio-economic consequences of landlording (driving people into poverty by demanding they pay for the shelter they need to live) is what enables the rule violation free money glitch.
If you have the Horse Ranch dlc, you can make a ton of money just by harvesting all the prairie grass you can get to. You can find nectar in the grass, then you just let the nectar sit in your inventory until its "finely aged" and sell it for thousands of simoleons.
It's so weird that the sims developers encourage cheating but it disables achievements on console. Plus not every cheat disables achievements. On PC/Mac you get random achievements regardless of cheating.
Well, now we know what the buildings will look like if Spiff completes The Device and takes over the world. Hopefully, work in the Yorkshire Tea mines will cover the rent.
19:19 "You just need one giant, vertical box to charge astronomical quantities of rent from people." As someone living in the Bay Area, this is essentially correct.
If you live in a place that has rent subsidies (where the government helps to pay your rent if you can't afford it instead of trying to fix the pricing issues), then with some dubious fiddling you could pull it off.
Somehow I know spiff will make a video with this expansion one day. Glad he’s the one who scam people but not being scammed as a tenant by the game itself.
@@AiraDelasse I feel like game devs sponsor Spiff and LGIO to work as quality assurance AND as advertisement. Both of them do sponsored content pretty frequently, they're just subtle about it
I'm with you Spiff. If I can exploit and still get achievements then great! If typing a console command negates achievements, then I'll find another way to cheat! Also my cat's name was Fluffy and he absolutely was the best
The pure evil of that bathroom layout fills me with horrified glee. The complete and utter lack of DLC or expansions fills me with true glee. Perfectly balanced.
I love how dollars, pounds, and simoleons are completely interchangeable in this video. Lucy just keeps making those thousands. What kind of thousands you ask? Who cares, it's thousands of them!
*This is exactly the way the developers intend you to play the game*
yes
Perfectly balanced
Precisely
Would love to see you break Lethal Company some time, the game been blowing up lately
I was gonna post a Sims video soon lol
Haven’t watched it yet but “I broke The Sims 4” is like saying “I broke the McDonalds ice cream machine.” Can’t break what was never whole 😂
A valid point however it is rare that I exploit a game in such an introspective way of it misclassifying my character as a split personality
Best comment
interestingly.
it's the same lack of maintenance.
My crowbar says otherwise
Pls do some CK3 exploits.
I love how Spiff is just so experienced in finding exploits that he accidentally found one while already attempting one
The Sims experience. You try one thing, accidentally do another
@@magnusbjarni yep, try to feed my toddler, take a bath
"Pee v. Pee" got me actually laughing out loud. Well done.

A big nice graveyard is a necessity in sims 4. It is important as the kitchen
I'm pretty sure if reincarnation is a thing this man was not a serbian mortar shell launched at a bosnian hospital, but a brick in an egyptian pyramid.
Rule applies to real life too
I feel like it's actually harder to play the game WITHOUT breaking it
You mean that's actually an option?
How many mods do you need to pull that off 😂
my sim once walked through a counter
17:01 Spiff casually admits to tax evasion.
_His Majesty's tax system is a perfectly balanced game with NO exploits._
🎩NO exploits👌
Where do you think the magic money has been coming from? He's forgiving the fine for his "tennant" and writing it off as a loss on his taxes.
The dialogue between Lucy Landgrab and Lucy Landgrab made me want to hear Spiff narrate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Seeing a youtuber playing the sims without all of the DLC really brings a tear to my eye. Spiff is a man of the people!
Time to pirate it all.
There's absolutely no reason a sane person should purchase this dumpster fire game in full. Pirate it all day.

65 dollars a day, almost 2000 dollar rent
Spiff: Thats pretty afforadble
To be fair, Sims can make a few hundred bucks a day as well, depending on the career. It's very much not realistic.
Hah you've never tried to live in Manhattan have you?

Yeah, that's actually about average rent here, unfortunately... Meanwhile that's more than I make total.
that moment when your real rent is 2000 a month
Spiff broke the game so hard that he even confused himself! That’s talent!
Love this Sims content! I hope to see more shenanigans like this! LOL
Spiff finding increasingly creative ways of manifesting textbook cases of fraud into video games is truly admirable
Spiff has done quite a few get rich quick schemes in The Sims 4, and I have to say this is probably the one that involved the least amount of human suffering. Also the fastest. Well done?
Also you can start your own bussiness and sell the the most expensive by 100% profit. After a few sales, youre going to be richyy rich:))
It's simple insurance fraud! Basically a victimless crime.
Humane farming isn’t noble, but we all have to make sacrifices.
When you said it was released 10 years ago you gave me a hell of a reality check

My heart goes out to the British family who were evicted from their house for having ghosts without a haunted house license 😔
I always find myself chuckling at your Sims videos. I don't play it myself, but it is very fun to watch you play such a perfectly balanced game, without any exploits whatsoever.

So happy you finally did a S4 vid. You are the channel to show just how broken all the S4 packs are.

And Spiff turns The Sims 4 into Prison Architect. But I suppose that after turning Prison Architect into a tea plantation, a tree farm, and a warden cloning facility, it only makes sense to restore the original game concept... using a different game, of course.
I'm surprised you didn't actually make every room a unique rental with the cheat and actually have like 50 people live in here.
That would be the true British landlord experience haha
Unfortunately you can't have more than 6 units on a single property without cheating
I randomly got obsessed over this game in the past week and suddenly my fav TH-camr uploads a video about it
I need a continuation of this specific rental structure but it gets sold to Jim Pickens in a crossover event with CallMeKevin.
I need to see what Kevin would do as a landlord with this mega rental complex 😂
"Not my fault she decided to waste a day and come hang out with me". This line felt practiced, somehow I think Spiff has said it before.

I remember when the first game came out, I found a nice little exploit where you could infinitely sell wallpaper till it maxed out at $99,999.
These aren't exploits, this is simply how the real estate market works.
I can't believe this game just doesn't have a basic handler not letting you move your landlord into a rental property you own to pay rent to yourself
The real exploit is EA making you buy all those DLCs
