I found out recently that the teen pot-belly is because they slouch and have bad posture. In cas you can adjust their posture by pulling on their spine. This info was Game changing or me! It sounds dumb but I was always so frustrated with the way fit sims would have big bellies no matter how they ate or worked out. It’s all about that spine!
This is exactly how I make parties go my way. Select three to four sims and they are now your "party posse" this party posse will make sure all the tasks are done, and everyone else can continue to be idiots.
If you buy Coby a personal journal it helps with emotional control as well as the writing and creativity skill. You can purchase it in buy mode in the indoor activity category.
by the way, Koby got the expensive gaming mat from Father Winter. I guess being such a good sim paid off! Might be fun to put that in the club house. It's in the household inventory.
I recommend against putting gaming mats in publicly accessible parts of a house, because guests love using them (they're really fun) but once an NPC is using one they're impossible to interact with because they are physically inside the object's animation so you can't click on them. If I have a gaming mat I make sure it's kept in a locked room.
surprised your not abusing clubs at child age, they have tons of easy xp boosters but the crown jewel is the "Rally" ability which when used pretty much fills up 1/2 of your needs, as well as the ability to toggle moods on a whim. whenever im making a super sims i always have a club up and going, you can even exploit it for free artwork to sell while also skilling up random members :)
Seriously club is the most broken thing. I can just form a club between the child and the parents, and the club gathering will literally never end! Last time I check the club point goes up to 2000 or sth for only 2 members lol!
The best thing you can do to raise conflict resolution as a teen (that I have found) is yelling at your friend/parents/whoever then apologizing over and over. It will decrease empathy from the yelling at people but you can just volunteer as a teen to get empathy back up and it goes up by a lot when you volunteer.
I so dislike the current event system, it should really show the friends of ALL household members (perhaps even in their own tabs) for whomever is planning the party... I'd love some of everyone's friends to come over for BBQs and birthday parties. It's so frustrating. LOL, "Does water count"... watching you host a party was hilarious though. XD This lp/super sim experiment is great, heheee, can't wait for Part 6! Tyfs! Hope you have a great week. Best of wishes.
To raise Conflict Resolution as a teen have mom make an enemy and have the super sim fix said bad relationship. it is on a timer but it is the only path to raise it other then random perhood events. Fix relations with every sim you can. It is hard to raise as a teen. Make sure you have mom parenting skill maxed so you have more options to take advantage of those options. Watching you manage a party was entertaining. You can tell you don't do it often. LOL. Glad you edited your sim. I don't think I could stand it as aged up. I would have done so myself. Love your videos. I started watching when you started making them. I find them entertaining. I get a good laugh and at times learn a thing or two. I like the fact you are real. you just don't do your areas of expertise but make errors like the rest of us. Love your videos. keep it up!
This is inspiring me to make one of my toddlers a Super Sim. I think my little Darby would be awesome at it. I already work hard to get my toddlers to Top Notch Toddler, so...why not go the extra mile.
That's funny to hear. On my end I'm pretty wiped out being up too long but your ears kind of go numb and you get sick of your voice in editing. I either rely on others or can't tell until a day or two later with a fresh listen. Thanks a lot, gave me a little positivity.
I think the mohawk change just makes good fiscal sense-think how much the Teach family will save on product. Your club house is *entirely acceptable*! 👏🏻😃 I’m in awe of your building skills! My younger son told me (when I first got and started playing Sims with Sims 3) “Mom. Stop. You are terrible at building.” Sadly accurate. This was definitely your best super sim video so far-rude guests, a make over, a bit of building, the trials and tribulations of child rearing, Santa smack down=💜Spandrels are those decorative bits in the corners of archways. I hope that makes sense.
1:06 I dunno what causes it specifically, but I notice when they nap, sometimes they get an energized buff, which is useful for making that energy last a bit longer. Mostly I just use it to help pad out the energy and clock so they stay on schedule when something odd happens that desyncs them. The delgato kid isn't a townie, he's one of the kids from the pets neighborhood, but I notice the seasons attire on looking townie esque since it seems to be randomly generated for a lot of them anway. I snorted my coffee at the ban on using basemental's with mom there, wasn't expecting to see that referenced.
You could have added everybody to a group and had listen to music and all of them would have been forced to listen to music same thing with all coming around the birthday cake you could have made them come to where he was
T DoTran I just grow dragon fruit. Splice snapdragons onto strawberries, plant the dragon fruit when it appears - if they need a lot of money for summat, I'll plant the first crop of dragonfruit, but usually one bush is enough income for a regular household. Completing a plant collection requires a spaceship, but that's another aspiration path to complete and get points from.
@@tealkerberus748 Thanks! I will give it a try since I never try this path before. Your tips and Carl's lasted video on gardening give me so much motivation to become a gardener in TS4 :)
When i raise a child, i primarly focus on conflict resolution and empathy since those are hard to get during teenhood, easiest to get is emotional control since the teen can unwind with classical music, jog to clear the mind and writting in the journal/diary.
16:12 Can Teens die from being hysterical? I know they're immune to death by Anger and death by Embarassment, at the very least. They gave them immunity to this with Parenthood, due to adding the Mood Swing system, where a Teen can come home from school with something crazy like +50 Embarassed or +50 Angry moodlets. And at those strengths, they're so far above the normal death-intensity that they had to give them immunity to dying from it.
They do NOT die, until they age up! I made that mistake on my 100 baby challenge lol. Twins aged up enraged and died immediately lol. But yeah, children and teens are immune of emotional death until young adulthood!
The way I "manage" parties is, as soon as everyone arrives, create a Group and do all the tasks together... and that is not even guaranteed because the sims hates us all.
There was a Thunderstorm the night of my Sims keg party. The whole party was tense, all they did was argue and a few even started fighting... I enjoyed the party.
Mood sting noise???? I didn't even know there WAS such a thing! The heck. Mine must'a always been off? Yeah, I backed the vid up to there to catch something, in case timing is someone's mystery moment... nvrmind... I know what I mean.... Go home, Whisper, yer drunk.
You can get NPC sims to listen to music or dance if you form a group and then click on the stereo, there will be options for listening and dancing together. Very useful for parties.
I’m also doing this challenge, and here are some tips I’ve learned if you want to add them to your guide! Toddler: blaarfy and company raise communication crazy fast. Laundry is a great way to get the coveted playful moodlet for imagination. A full-day energized moodlet happens the day before winter fest which is GREAT for movement, which I think is the hardest. Always potty before bed and when they wake up to avoid wasting skill time on a diaper. Child: empathy with the doctor set is crucial. You can spam start/cancel the interaction so the parents can repetitively praise. Teach to say sorry can be praised afterwards too. Those are must-do character values in childhood. All scouting activities are easy in childhood except the outdoor one, and can mostly be completed as you do the childhood aspirations (arts and crafts w/ creative, scientist w/ mental, exercise w/ motor, etc) Teen: I have them jog to clear mind every morning to slowly build their emotional control. Writing in the journal + praise is good too. Manners and responsibility are easy in my opinion. Getting started on aspirations is good here too, especially the time consuming ones like writing and party animal. I used to max all this stuff for all of my baby challenge kids so I find it very easy to do. I can do it on normal lifespan. The key is time and moodlet management! I’m glad you discovered the lemons trick. Still enjoying this series a bunch, keep it up!
You can grind the repeatable character value giving interactions (for example the doctor playset for empathy), have the parent encourage, cancel the action and start it back up. Each time you start a new interaction it resets the encourage cool down. For example, you can encourage doing homework after your child/teen does their regular homework, and then again after they do extra credit work (if it's accessible to them).
Video was super funny, whatever you’re doing, you’re doing right! You can set up the club house as a place to throw parties and do social stuff, then lock people out of your house to keep them out of your fridge and tub. :D Just put anything you don’t want party-goers to mess around with in a separate room that you can lock during those events. Anyway though, thanks for the videos, lots of us appreciate the effort you put into them and you’re doing a great job with them!
It's 00:40 where I live... I might have to come back here tomorrow morning... yea okay bye guys, hopefully there are more comments by then. I enjoy the let's play and the comments are often helpful. Oh the zooming in to the text boxes and faces and such also amuses me, thanks for doing that. Anyway see ya'll tomorrow 💚
Alrighty then @@CarlsSimGuides rested and ready to restart watching the let's play and read as many comments as I can! Thankee for the pleasant night wishes, it was indeed haha
It's legit just recovering from fights or helping others in that situation once you're teen, but there are still chance cards and you can get more opportunities for those doing the volunteer work as there are cards specific to that activity!
Write in a journal every night. Raises it fast....at least I think it’s conflict resolution? Lol. I’m questioning myself now. I always use it on teen, empathy on kid (doctor set) and the others come easy on their own just playing.
I didn't have too much trouble with it. Bear in mind that manners and responsibility are the easiest to boost just by doing homework and chores, so if you get the pop-up boxes with options, always pick ones that boost conflict resolution (or whichever one you're low on) even at the expense of manners/responsibility, as you can always refill those later. Also when they're still a child, get the parent to teach them to say sorry. That alone filled my meter pretty easily.
To accomplish party goals ... Form a generic group by clicking on a guest and hit "form group". Then you can use the *together* options. Like, "listen to music together". Add a spa day or backyard tray and you can then, "get drinks together". I use this method anytime i need NPS to do something with my sim. And as always.. Thanks for uploading! This is fun. BTW: You missed an island plant on your gardening guide page - Taro root.
Love your vids and just aged up a kid to teen. The scout skills were a breeze as a kid. Bumping on off of fishing and having a parent make make whurfteentablers to yoink into the trash bin for the skills was a bonus.
My only complaint was after my kids BiRtHdAy party was Sims4 randlomy changing his appieriance to some weird hairdo as if Bako Jang knocked up his momma. LMAO

I'm absolutely loving this episode, watching you throw that birthday party is an absolute riot xD
Damn. Thanks. Tbh I could've bought a mixology station but mom and the other adult were the only ones I thought of as able to drink something other than water and don't often use those these days.
@@CarlsSimGuides I only learnt this recently! It also helps to double up so have each sim have an orange juice and a milk, makes their bladder deplete so quickly though 😂
I just started watching this from the beginning! I LOVE it! You really seem to care about your Sims that you create. And since you know so much about the game and have done so many guides, its actual GOOD game-play and gives me ideas for my own Super Sim! I even Downloaded your house :) I want to create my own Sims TH-cam channel as well (But im shy!) however you inspire me. TY so much for making these videos and I hope you enjoy doing LP's because I look forward to watching many more from you!
energized cleaning is Magic! if your sim ever needs to get their house in order just get them energized and it takes no time at all. not sure if it stacks with the speed cleaner trait...
So nice to see you flatten his belly and broaden his shoulders - having done both of those to various of my own sims. I had Geoffrey Landgraab complete the fitness aspiration and he still had a pot belly, and that just isn't fair.
It’s a shame that Koby couldn’t have a lemon meringue pie as his birthday cake. In fact, we need more pies and desserts and recipes in general in the game. Also, why do we have orange juice but no orange trees? 🤔
JodieWithanIE Official gardens and recipes both need an overhaul. I want a bunch of veges for my garden salad, and I want to be able to put existing salad veges such as carrots and onions in it, and I want the option to switch off recipes the household just will not use - meat recipes for vegetarians, pig recipes for Jews and Muslims, dairy or gluten recipes for allergies, and for myself, I'd switch off tomato and fish - but I'd still have garden salad, it just wouldn't have tomatoes in it. Also, I want a fruit salad recipe that just needs a certain number of different sweet fruits, and it doesn't matter whether you use apples or pears, or strawberries or grapes, so long as you have enough different things in it. But being able to delete recipes that shouldn't be available in this household would make it so much easier - and since when does a Jewish mother have bacon in her fridge anyway?
@@tealkerberus748 Yes great point! I'm veggie and often make my sims veggie just because. Then I forget or another household member makes fish and chips and they get sick. I'd appreciate being able to filter recipes that I'd actually use for authenticity so you can more easily have a Muslim or vegan household for example.
Aaahhh! Thanks for that booger joke! It made me laugh and being home sick with the flu I really needed that ^^ I've been watching this series while being sick and picked up a lot of great tips and tricks, thanks!
Yeeeee , watching before sleep thanks Carl, fantastic end to my sunday , great job :D had to laugh a whole lot at you trying to get kobys mom to talk to saline, have you ever gotten so mad at a sim you yell that your going to kill them off if they dont do what thier told ??? join the club lol
I love this series because your voice is nice and low and usually calm. There are many loud hyper sims video out there. I like to watch your videos in the evening to wind down from a busy day. I see you do a zoom-in with editing software three or four times in the series. That zoom-movement something I dislike. I would rather see a, uhh, a letter O around the point I should focus on, or a simple hard cut to the zoomed-in focus point. All in all, I like your videos above average much. The narrative you create around what sims think, dress, find important, and what their personality is like, makes me bond to the characters. The mention of Basement drugs made me laugh hard. I learn a lot. I am interested in which items help, what are clever ways to play such as the Knowledge aspiration and the disco nap. I hope to learn what scouting badges are for. I hope Kobe gets a first kiss with Elsa and they marry, hahaha! After all, her family's description in the game describes her as kid genius. You're doing great work. Thank you for the frequent uploads!
In order to max the skilling time I hardly let them sleep and always let the sims start a family club and make them use the rally the troops social with the other sim in that club. Using the set club vibe social is also great when special moods are desireable in different kind of skilling. Supersims galore in my households in other words. The book of life is also an excellent tool to get the sims needs filled up quickly so that they can focus on skilling. They do not need to work and live of selling paintings and other stuff created by crafting.
Form a group when u start the party and choose “wind down with classical together” to get the multiple “listen to music” task done. U have to have 3 at the same time listening...so it’s hard because most times just 2 will lol. Getting a group formed will also keep all the guests where they need to be for cake, drinks and also presents. (If u don’t open presents, u sometimes get a negative moodlet....I’ve always wondered why it’s not a task for the party score since u can Get the disappointed moodlet if u don’t do it)
ok I'm not kidding when I say you may be the best sims player on youtube. I'm enjoying watching you play so much. please post more gameplay videos, I don't know if I can go back to anyone else!
here are some quotes from the first half I just sent to my friends "[pained party hosting voice] is water a drink?" "and now [clicks tv] you have to listen to my music, [drags tv] because it's the only entertainment, [stores tv] isn't it?" "no no no no no no. you... you don't understand. you can't be on my computer playing blickblock"
Drinking water use to count as get w drink but maybe they patched it out. But I believe orange juice from the snack menu works too. I also have no idea that the "mood sting" is. Also also if you buy the undecorated tree you can fulfill the decorations requirement and the present appear under the tree (no pile needed).

For children's parties I end up having the adult throw a party, and the kid will later invite their friends to the lot. Kind of gives it the old school vibe -- like when I was sent to school with invites that I would pass out to friends. lol
I found kids parties easy if you exploit the clubs system. Just add mom to the club, plan the party because she'll know the guests, kick her out afterwards.
My character is an epic host... every social event she does usually gets silver or gold lol For listening to music, she starts dancing then invites everyone else to do so with her and voila - everyone's listening lol
The values feature stays until the Sim is a Young Adult. To up your conflict resolution, you can click on a Sim and chose 'Help fix bad relationship' as many times to up the Conflict resolution bar.
I was playing the other day with my family and I had a set of twins I wanted to age up into adults as soon as they got home from school. So I went ahead and had the first Sim blow the candles out and it was fine, I had her sister go next and as soon as she aged up she dropped dead from explosive anger because she came home from school angry. I was absolutely shocked lol, that was a first for me.
I start out all my new sims as teens for getting the bonuses. If you do mean interactions, you can apologize right after and gain conflict resolution. To gain empathy use gnomes on thanksgiving! Give them the wrong gift, and every time you sooth them after you gain empathy. It gives an amazing boost rather than volunteering or going around looking for sims with negative moods. Manners you get easily by setting tables. Every time they cook and eat have them unwind with classical music. ALWAYS have a friend over to get your weekly projects done! Start a conversation with them then start work carefully and invite them to help. You can basically talk the entire time, telling jokes the whole time works wonders for raising that pesky comedy skill at the same time, and the project will be done in no time with the bonus that the sim helping will gain the skill as well, and responsibility if they are also a teen sim. Brushing teeth after every bladder-hand washing will also quickly max out responsibility. So far I have managed to get all "super bonuses" easily with all my Sims starting as a teen while still having enough time to become an A student and have a home-based money-making hobby, I usually choose either writing or painting for money-making. Happy Simming!
For conflict resolution your parent needs to teach to say sorry when he is a child or toddler. I prefer to start right from toddler, since it also helps his communication skill. Do it in the morning, do it in the evening, and if you do it consistently you are set. Any other method is really difficult. This one is also difficult, but not so much as the others. Unless you want you parent to become a public enemy, fighting left and right.
I wish someone would make a mod for writing to give books more varied names. I end up having to come up with different book titles instead of using what the game picks, because my sims already wrote a book with that name. I only have the base game and 5 sims I made for separate games. I forgot you could put them all in the same save game file. I'm nervous because I want to make two of my sims married and have a kid together and try raising a kid. I would love to make the kid super smart and super talented. These videos are helping and giving me ideas on what to do. All my male sims, except one, have mohawks, lol. I love those.
I wish there was an option for a kid sim to give their parent a list of their friends to invite.
PSICadet Zen same!!

All scouting activities are easy in childhood except the outdoor one, and can mostly be completed as you do the childhood aspirations (arts and crafts w/ creative, scientist w/ mental, exercise w/ motor, etc)
Teen: I have them jog to clear mind every morning to slowly build their emotional control. Writing in the journal + praise is good too. Manners and responsibility are easy in my opinion. Getting started on aspirations is good here too, especially the time consuming ones like writing and party animal.
I used to max all this stuff for all of my baby challenge kids so I find it very easy to do. I can do it on normal lifespan. The key is time and moodlet management! I’m glad you discovered the lemons trick.
Still enjoying this series a bunch, keep it up!
You can grind the repeatable character value giving interactions (for example the doctor playset for empathy), have the parent encourage, cancel the action and start it back up. Each time you start a new interaction it resets the encourage cool down. For example, you can encourage doing homework after your child/teen does their regular homework, and then again after they do extra credit work (if it's accessible to them).
“I don’t want Bach to file a takedown on me.”
Awesome. :D
Video was super funny, whatever you’re doing, you’re doing right!
You can set up the club house as a place to throw parties and do social stuff, then lock people out of your house to keep them out of your fridge and tub. :D
Just put anything you don’t want party-goers to mess around with in a separate room that you can lock during those events.
Anyway though, thanks for the videos, lots of us appreciate the effort you put into them and you’re doing a great job with them!
I would suggest putting a bathroom in the clubhouse and locking the main door for all but family members.
Builds a Cube. "Hmmm.. It's not awful." lol
So glad to see this! I'm doing a five kid super sim family right now and two are about to age to teens.
It's 00:40 where I live... I might have to come back here tomorrow morning... yea okay bye guys, hopefully there are more comments by then. I enjoy the let's play and the comments are often helpful. Oh the zooming in to the text boxes and faces and such also amuses me, thanks for doing that. Anyway see ya'll tomorrow 💚
I too love the discuss that goes down around these videos. Have a nice night.
Alrighty then @@CarlsSimGuides rested and ready to restart watching the let's play and read as many comments as I can! Thankee for the pleasant night wishes, it was indeed haha
Last update: I enjoyed the video, thanks for making it!
I too struggled with conflict resolution tbh I was just gonna cheat it
It's legit just recovering from fights or helping others in that situation once you're teen, but there are still chance cards and you can get more opportunities for those doing the volunteer work as there are cards specific to that activity!
Write in a journal every night. Raises it fast....at least I think it’s conflict resolution? Lol. I’m questioning myself now.
I always use it on teen, empathy on kid (doctor set) and the others come easy on their own just playing.
You kinda hafta teach toddlers and kids to say sorry a lot otherwise chasing conflict resolution later is hard.
I didn't have too much trouble with it. Bear in mind that manners and responsibility are the easiest to boost just by doing homework and chores, so if you get the pop-up boxes with options, always pick ones that boost conflict resolution (or whichever one you're low on) even at the expense of manners/responsibility, as you can always refill those later. Also when they're still a child, get the parent to teach them to say sorry. That alone filled my meter pretty easily.
To accomplish party goals ... Form a generic group by clicking on a guest and hit "form group". Then you can use the *together* options. Like, "listen to music together". Add a spa day or backyard tray and you can then, "get drinks together". I use this method anytime i need NPS to do something with my sim.
And as always.. Thanks for uploading! This is fun.
BTW: You missed an island plant on your gardening guide page - Taro root.
Love your vids and just aged up a kid to teen. The scout skills were a breeze as a kid. Bumping on off of fishing and having a parent make make whurfteentablers to yoink into the trash bin for the skills was a bonus.
My only complaint was after my kids BiRtHdAy party was Sims4 randlomy changing his appieriance to some weird hairdo as if Bako Jang knocked up his momma. LMAO
I'm absolutely loving this episode, watching you throw that birthday party is an absolute riot xD
Quick meal drinks such as milk soda orange juice count as a 'drink'🥳
Damn. Thanks. Tbh I could've bought a mixology station but mom and the other adult were the only ones I thought of as able to drink something other than water and don't often use those these days.
@@CarlsSimGuides I only learnt this recently! It also helps to double up so have each sim have an orange juice and a milk, makes their bladder deplete so quickly though 😂
I suggest making this a playlist if you haven't already :) Love your videos
I just started watching this from the beginning! I LOVE it! You really seem to care about your Sims that you create. And since you know so much about the game and have done so many guides, its actual GOOD game-play and gives me ideas for my own Super Sim! I even Downloaded your house :) I want to create my own Sims TH-cam channel as well (But im shy!) however you inspire me. TY so much for making these videos and I hope you enjoy doing LP's because I look forward to watching many more from you!
energized cleaning is Magic! if your sim ever needs to get their house in order just get them energized and it takes no time at all. not sure if it stacks with the speed cleaner trait...
So nice to see you flatten his belly and broaden his shoulders - having done both of those to various of my own sims. I had Geoffrey Landgraab complete the fitness aspiration and he still had a pot belly, and that just isn't fair.
It’s a shame that Koby couldn’t have a lemon meringue pie as his birthday cake. In fact, we need more pies and desserts and recipes in general in the game. Also, why do we have orange juice but no orange trees? 🤔
JodieWithanIE Official gardens and recipes both need an overhaul. I want a bunch of veges for my garden salad, and I want to be able to put existing salad veges such as carrots and onions in it, and I want the option to switch off recipes the household just will not use - meat recipes for vegetarians, pig recipes for Jews and Muslims, dairy or gluten recipes for allergies, and for myself, I'd switch off tomato and fish - but I'd still have garden salad, it just wouldn't have tomatoes in it. Also, I want a fruit salad recipe that just needs a certain number of different sweet fruits, and it doesn't matter whether you use apples or pears, or strawberries or grapes, so long as you have enough different things in it. But being able to delete recipes that shouldn't be available in this household would make it so much easier - and since when does a Jewish mother have bacon in her fridge anyway?
@@tealkerberus748 Yes great point! I'm veggie and often make my sims veggie just because. Then I forget or another household member makes fish and chips and they get sick. I'd appreciate being able to filter recipes that I'd actually use for authenticity so you can more easily have a Muslim or vegan household for example.
Aaahhh! Thanks for that booger joke! It made me laugh and being home sick with the flu I really needed that ^^
I've been watching this series while being sick and picked up a lot of great tips and tricks, thanks!
Carl: we are going to age up Koby today.
Immediately there is thunderstorms
Lol very dramatic
Yeeeee , watching before sleep thanks Carl, fantastic end to my sunday , great job :D had to laugh a whole lot at you trying to get kobys mom to talk to saline, have you ever gotten so mad at a sim you yell that your going to kill them off if they dont do what thier told ??? join the club lol
I love this series because your voice is nice and low and usually calm. There are many loud hyper sims video out there. I like to watch your videos in the evening to wind down from a busy day.
I see you do a zoom-in with editing software three or four times in the series. That zoom-movement something I dislike. I would rather see a, uhh, a letter O around the point I should focus on, or a simple hard cut to the zoomed-in focus point. All in all, I like your videos above average much. The narrative you create around what sims think, dress, find important, and what their personality is like, makes me bond to the characters. The mention of Basement drugs made me laugh hard.
I learn a lot. I am interested in which items help, what are clever ways to play such as the Knowledge aspiration and the disco nap. I hope to learn what scouting badges are for. I hope Kobe gets a first kiss with Elsa and they marry, hahaha! After all, her family's description in the game describes her as kid genius. You're doing great work. Thank you for the frequent uploads!
I always thought “troll teh forums” was just leveling mischief, never realized it was also social, makes sense tho .
it's mischief skill and social need, and lowers empathy in teenagers and children.
I completely agree with the moodlet sound take. I used to play the game muted while listening to music because it was too annoying.
I don't even play the sims4, i just enjoy watching your videos.
In order to max the skilling time I hardly let them sleep and always let the sims start a family club and make them use the rally the troops social with the other sim in that club. Using the set club vibe social is also great when special moods are desireable in different kind of skilling. Supersims galore in my households in other words. The book of life is also an excellent tool to get the sims needs filled up quickly so that they can focus on skilling. They do not need to work and live of selling paintings and other stuff created by crafting.
Carl, I have learned so much from this series as well as really being entertained! Well done!
Sims clean super fast when they are energized!!
Well I say "Where am I going?" when I don't know what a Sim is doing.
Form a group when u start the party and choose “wind down with classical together” to get the multiple “listen to music” task done.
U have to have 3 at the same time listening...so it’s hard because most times just 2 will lol. Getting a group formed will also keep all the guests where they need to be for cake, drinks and also presents. (If u don’t open presents, u sometimes get a negative moodlet....I’ve always wondered why it’s not a task for the party score since u can Get the disappointed moodlet if u don’t do it)
ok I'm not kidding when I say you may be the best sims player on youtube. I'm enjoying watching you play so much. please post more gameplay videos, I don't know if I can go back to anyone else!
here are some quotes from the first half I just sent to my friends
"[pained party hosting voice] is water a drink?"
"and now [clicks tv] you have to listen to my music, [drags tv] because it's the only entertainment, [stores tv] isn't it?"
"no no no no no no. you... you don't understand. you can't be on my computer playing blickblock"
Teens can write in a journal....easy conflict resolution. I usually have then write in their journal after they do their homework each night
journal is emotional control
You could have add sims into a group going in the action in that sims bubble menu thingy
Drinking water use to count as get w drink but maybe they patched it out. But I believe orange juice from the snack menu works too. I also have no idea that the "mood sting" is. Also also if you buy the undecorated tree you can fulfill the decorations requirement and the present appear under the tree (no pile needed).
26:00 "THAT'S MY LIL GUY 👏👏" 🤣🤣🤣
Good job on the transformation. I would 100% have changed his body shape.
I’m really enjoying this Let’s Play. I hope you continue to do them even after this one is done.
Love the house build and the hallway.
I need to look up those weather change cheats.
S S Campbell MCC Command Center lets you cheat weather, day, time and seasons by clicking on the mailbox and using a menu - way easier than long cheat codes plus awesome extra functions
This was very amusing! 😂 🌱🌿🌳Try replacing your lemon mono-culture with a full Food forest!!! 👩🏾🌾👨🌾All plants, TH-cam research and cheats permitted🧚🏾🍀keep having fun!!!
Koby went Punk Rock there for a second didn't he ROFL
For children's parties I end up having the adult throw a party, and the kid will later invite their friends to the lot. Kind of gives it the old school vibe -- like when I was sent to school with invites that I would pass out to friends. lol
Easier way is to make a club of your friends,and when birthday starts,tap start gathering 🤷🏼♀️
I'm really loving this series
I found kids parties easy if you exploit the clubs system. Just add mom to the club, plan the party because she'll know the guests, kick her out afterwards.
My character is an epic host... every social event she does usually gets silver or gold lol For listening to music, she starts dancing then invites everyone else to do so with her and voila - everyone's listening lol
The values feature stays until the Sim is a Young Adult. To up your conflict resolution, you can click on a Sim and chose 'Help fix bad relationship' as many times to up the Conflict resolution bar.
8:45 is that a weird looking dress or is she wearing a towel with tights and a necklace???
I was playing the other day with my family and I had a set of twins I wanted to age up into adults as soon as they got home from school. So I went ahead and had the first Sim blow the candles out and it was fine, I had her sister go next and as soon as she aged up she dropped dead from explosive anger because she came home from school angry. I was absolutely shocked lol, that was a first for me.
What kids want to listen to classical!? LOL
I really enjoy seeing you play
Thanks for the laughs! Great video!!
I am loving this series
Kick Santa's ass to raise conflict resolution. Got it. LOL.
Hey carl do you post your sims to the gallery ? If so what is your gamertag on origin (sims4 gallery)
a prehistoric bird, that is the one fossil i can't find
Sold!
Which expansion packs is he using?? I only got Sims 4 last week and only have the base game
Yes its from being energized
19:30 Nah, you are the android sent by Cyberlife.
Pearce is a townie from Cats and Dogs. He has a rich family with a big house.
Milk and Orange juice count as drinks
I start out all my new sims as teens for getting the bonuses. If you do mean interactions, you can apologize right after and gain conflict resolution. To gain empathy use gnomes on thanksgiving! Give them the wrong gift, and every time you sooth them after you gain empathy. It gives an amazing boost rather than volunteering or going around looking for sims with negative moods. Manners you get easily by setting tables. Every time they cook and eat have them unwind with classical music. ALWAYS have a friend over to get your weekly projects done! Start a conversation with them then start work carefully and invite them to help. You can basically talk the entire time, telling jokes the whole time works wonders for raising that pesky comedy skill at the same time, and the project will be done in no time with the bonus that the sim helping will gain the skill as well, and responsibility if they are also a teen sim. Brushing teeth after every bladder-hand washing will also quickly max out responsibility. So far I have managed to get all "super bonuses" easily with all my Sims starting as a teen while still having enough time to become an A student and have a home-based money-making hobby, I usually choose either writing or painting for money-making. Happy Simming!
I laughed a lot with you thank you Carl
For conflict resolution your parent needs to teach to say sorry when he is a child or toddler. I prefer to start right from toddler, since it also helps his communication skill. Do it in the morning, do it in the evening, and if you do it consistently you are set. Any other method is really difficult. This one is also difficult, but not so much as the others. Unless you want you parent to become a public enemy, fighting left and right.
He looks so much better
I wish someone would make a mod for writing to give books more varied names. I end up having to come up with different book titles instead of using what the game picks, because my sims already wrote a book with that name.
I only have the base game and 5 sims I made for separate games. I forgot you could put them all in the same save game file. I'm nervous because I want to make two of my sims married and have a kid together and try raising a kid. I would love to make the kid super smart and super talented. These videos are helping and giving me ideas on what to do. All my male sims, except one, have mohawks, lol. I love those.
We love the blather!
Wait, you guys have a 2nd house now? That lot is so weird, what's the deal with the 3 driveways?!
🧐
