Oooh that is such a great tip!! Thank you! I'm pretty sure I'll have more pets later down the line and having those teats is going to help a lot! Thank you ❤
Again, probably Captain Hindsight over here since I'm so far behind, but hey - extra comments are always good right? A quick win for faster skill gain is to be in the right mood for it. All skills have a certain ideal mood to do them in. E.g. learning cooking or writing goes faster when inspired, charisma when confident, and mental skills like logic and handiness when focused. There's many more, and you'll notice the skill progress bar above the sim's head will have a bright glow around it whenever the learning speed is boosted. It can be really significant. It doesn't only buff the speed of learning, but also the quality of the works you make (and thus the value of it), and sometimes even how quickly you complete the task (like kids doing homework while focused do it 50% faster I believe). Similarly, being in a bad mood negatively impacts all of that. Happy is a unique mood in the sense that it slightly buffs anything you do, albeit a bit less than the skill's specifically associated mood. Also, happiness will always boost - and make room for - other positive moods. So say you have 5 buffs that make you happy, and one that makes you focused, they will all contribute to making your sim extra focused. So what I like to do is just rack up happiness buffs, and then channel them into a specific mood. There's tons of quick ways to stack happiness: using bidets on toilets, soap dispensers on sinks, good quality food, having a quick drink from the fridge, having a radio on (they don't need to actively listen to it, they just need to like the genre that you set in CAS and then leave the radio on in the background), and much more. Then all you need is one buff to get them in the right mood. That's easy to do by taking a thematic shower, energy drink, tea, etc. All the happiness buffs will then boost that specific mood and you'll power through those skill levels in no-time. Carl's Guides has a lot of tips on how to quickly get into the mood you want and which skill benefits from which mood. Finally, regarding books: skill levels 1 - 4 are book 1, levels 4 - 7 are book 2, and levels 7 - 10 are book 3. You can re-read them without penalties as long as you are within the right skill bracket. I do believe (but this is anecdotal) that learning from books is slightly slower than when learning through practise. Sorry for the long infodump... hope it helps! 🤓 Edit: Oh no r.i.p. Pixel 😢 That truly couldn't be worse timing omg
Thank you so much for sharing all this!! I knew about all of this but I like “forget” if that makes sense 😅 I know in the back of my mind but when playing I just don’t think about it. But I’m currently also trying to get a sim max out a skill further down the line and I’m definitely going go try this!! 🧡
Thank you for this super in depth explanation!! I'm just getting started on my challenge and I'm not big on gameplay yet (hence the desire to do this challenge to better my gameplay). I love that Happy buffs make them gain skills faster! 🖤🖤
I’m so behind that I know my comment is going to help now, but buy a bunch of vet wellness treats for the pets! Also have them in your inventory! Maybe the comment will help simmers reading the comments. ❤
I love the story line you have layed out for the twins!😍So excited to follow them as they grow up and into who they are! Glad to see that the bowling worked out!! But soo sad about Pixel!! 😢 the messed up emotions from Parker really fit the “just turned teenager puberty hormones” in some way
It was so sad when Pixel died - the timing was just awful. You have developed quite an in-depth storyline for the twins - it'll be a lot fun watching it play out. Loving the series as always. 😀
I'm still sad about Pixel, I actually almost cried when recording this. It was so sad and the timing was terrible indeed! The twins storyline is taking shape in the episode of this coming Sunday and the one I just recorded. It's going to be a lot of fun I feel like!
Just read your comments on all the video's! So glad you're enjoying the series 🧡 Thank you for watching!! I'm still not over Pixel passing... Such a sad event! But I'm also obsessed with Dawns style and I cannot wait to play the storyline of both the twins!!
My game still glitches out the corner cabinets & it’s very frustrating 🤯 I think Little Miss Sam has a mod that disables pets getting sick/dirty & running away 😊 I also love the idea of the decoration box under the stairs. I’ve been putting it in the roof in my builds cause I don’t like looking at it 😂
I discovered your channel a few days ago and I am working my way through this series (I love it by the way!). I know that you may have already figured this out later on in the series but there must be an add-on that has allowed familial romance. The Sims 4 on its own doesn't allow it. I know that MCCC can be set to allow that, but there are other addons that also allow that. Just thought I would mention it.
😢Pixel! Just when I thought everything was going so well... apart from the counter thieves. I am looking for to the infant update and the Growing Together Pack... Gen two is going to be so much fun.
@@PinkPygmyPuff If you think telling people that they need to keep their sims slim and say sims getting bigger is due to overfeeding is constructive criticism and not just plain rude then I don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏼♀️ first comment or not, it’s rude and uncalled for 🙂
@@PinkPygmyPuff If it’s a game and it’s not that important then why come on and comment on my video telling me how to play my game? You’re just proving my point that your comment was uncalled for 🤷🏼♀️ It’s fine to agree to disagree, you don’t thinking was rude and I do. Not much more discussion needed i’d say.
and we countdown from 10 to 1 before the midnight, so many shoo shoo bi is Sims counting numbers
Oh no, Pixel :( btw, if you choose to adopt another pet, you can buy wellness treats in the debug buy mode !
Oooh that is such a great tip!! Thank you! I'm pretty sure I'll have more pets later down the line and having those teats is going to help a lot! Thank you ❤

The puberty hormones! I love that, it's annoying but so so so true!! 😂
Shooshobi I’m pretty sure just means “numbers” so they’re just shouting “NUMBERS” instead of counting down
Also NOOO PIXEL
Oh no, not Pixel!

how did you get these emotes over here?

haii Toet, byee pixel
Nooooooooooooooooo not Pixel! :(
You overfeed them too much. Elliot is getting thicc. Their needs don’t always need to be green 🙂
You just over-commented on TH-cam, they are getting rude. You don’t always have to comment 🙂
@@Rosannatxt huh?? This is the first time I commented on one of your videos. Who’s being rude here? No room for constructive criticism I see.
