i wish the sims would actually release packs that work on launch. their dlc is expensive and im tired of pretty much just paying for my game to break, especially when the idea of the packs themselves seem so cool :/
Super agree. It’s like they’re just dishing em out to meet a deadline and the pack’s just half done 🤷🏻♀️
It’s always really disappointing because they clearly put time and thought into building all these concepts. The biggest issue is that EA cut the number of play testers significantly a few years ago and they just laid off like 600 employees. Each expansion pack only has like 3 or 4 play testers so there’s no way they can find all the bugs that exist before releasing it.
I wish they'd take a note from their competitors and delay, if they're underresourced.
I feel like they’ve always rushed too much to get them out, when realistically majority of us would rather wait a couple months and have a completely usable pack 😞
@@trisharae100% would have waited a YEAR for a fully working For Rent pack lol
EA dosen't deserve your patience James.
true
EA doesn't deserve ANY of our patience...
When you mix the Turnerverse and see Laird getting into Forgotten Grotto and you immediately think "SPIN THE WHEEEEL!!!" 😂😂😂
ikr rofl
Omg stop! I initially opened this video with the every lot challenge in mind, until I saw the caption. HAHAHA i missed him spinning the wheel
this :D
Panya li needs to be the next spouse, he’s practically throwing himself at James
He was SUPER into when laird flirted with him before too!!
Yes! Then we can see him all the time just like in the Every Lot Challenge 😂
yes pls. :D wren or laird needs to get with panya and glames. :D
PLEASE! He’s practically a celebrity to me at this point! I’m dying for James to get with him
The amount of work you have done to force your way through this Lets Play is insane and appreciated. I love this series and want it to work!!
And just want the pack to work. I was so excited about this one and bought it right away and it's all broken. I won't even buy the Crystal one. It sounds fun, but I don't need anything else breaking my game.
@@saganathasmeluckily the Crystal pack is working! It’s been a lot of fun.
Hm, except it's not. If you put crystals on and off, your sims body gets thinner. The more they wear and take off, the thinner they get (especially teens). The rest of the save issues and the like might be the base game only update (I'm not playing at all right now), but this one is specifically the pack.
@@saganathasme I have not had that happen at all, however I have not tried on teens. I do not have any mods, not sure if that could be the issue?
@@aimeesims4 Hi it's a documented issue on the sims site. They've suggested people don't play legacy saves, etc until after the next e-patch.
promises to fix things, raises rent instead - you've become a real landlord!
If EA were a landlord
yes. :D
I recommend putting your sim's crystal charger on their balcony because if you have kleptomaniacs in the neighborhood they will get stolen. And moving it to an inaccessible location (roof) temporarily if throwing a party of any kind in your sims home. My starter test sim had a cut gemstone stolen by a member of the welcome wagon. Sadly, so many of my famous sim's cut gemstones and jewelry have been stolen right of the charger grid by paparazzi. And especially if you have a butler, they've got super sticky fingers for jewelry and art.😂
We asked EA for burglars, so I guess it kinda happened? xD
@@CaeiseSorewynnTrue😭
this is why i always fence in my yards rofl
@@Silverfur01the sims’ family already in the house committing theft : 😁🤌🏻💍
I second this as so many of the Papprazzi in the game are Kleptos by default.
The cut crystals are decorative cristals, seperate from the jewelry. You can charge them and for example put a skill boosting one on a shelf near a skill item
The cut ones are honestly way better. The increase fun one just fills your fun bar whenever you walk by it. And the AOE is really big.
@@notnormalyetNice to know, thanks!
Wish they worked while they were in a sims inventory though 🤷🏼♀️😂
I appreciate a lot all of the work you put into making this series work for our entertainment! Thank you very much James ❤
Second that!!!
With her real estate empire taking off, Laird finally has time for a new hobby!
12:24 “I’m gonna have to dive into this pack a little bit more.” 🧐🧐🧐🧐 i think it’s a sign to have a short side LP with the new pack. still wishing for Sandalwood to have an LP of his own..
Sandalwood would be perfect!
@@NoDecaf7right! the moonlight charging element of the new pack ties in with werewolves so well. i think it’s about time he goes back to his hometown, even for just a little while.
Sandelwood looks like he was BORN to get into crystals.
I've been saying this since the new pack came out. I am DYING for a Sandalwood Crystal Creations Let's Play!
Yesss!
OMG. "This is not the time or the place to be inside each other." I literally snorted. Thank you, James! I needed that laugh.
I literally guffawed like a teenage boy at that lol
When James mentioned Mr. Abernathy, I went, "I thought he died??" Then I remembered that shacking up with random old men is a reoccurring theme these days😂
Now you should implement the wear slippers inside rule for some of the buildings in Tomarang to tie in the southeast Asian culture
I’m from Scandinavia and just thought it was normal not to wear shoes inside. It’s quite disrespectful to walk around with shoes inside here in Denmark😅
@@Juliekjaeldmand It's mostly Americans who wear shoes inside, the rest of the world has better sense 😂
@@annacarlsen4281 We don't wear shoes inside either, but it's more of a cleanliness thing then a cultural tradition so some forgo it
I’m not sure if you know or have heard, but there are some new game breaking bugs. These bugs came about after the update for the newest pack. As a precaution you may want to have a back up save. People have been recommending not playing with legacy or important game saves. Just wanted you to know in case you haven’t heard.
What are the new bugs?
I'm pretty sure James always has backup saves, but I could be wrong
What are they?
@@JamesTurnerYT there's quite a few, but I'll list the main ones that can crash or effect your game the worst. 1. Sims loose their moodlets after saving and closing the game. The next time you go back in game the moodlets are gone, which effects challenges, quests, etc. 2. There's another build/buy issue that causes the game to crash. Happened to me yesterday three times. 3. Teenage Sims bodies are becoming morphed. I can't remember all of them, but those are the ones that stuck with me.
@@eshapena5203apparently that body change is for all ages. When u wear and take off jewellery.
I think Laird should end up with Panya Li. Also, I would love to see a mini LP for Crystal Creations maybe with a Bigwallet from the other branch of the family.
Krysta's Crystal's was suggested on reddit.
If anyone looks like a crystal enthusiast, it's Sandalwood
@@Kristenhas3catsabsolutely Sandalwood!
I did a rags to riches with jewelry making for my new generation that I started. My sim was LOADED within a sim week because the jewelry sells for so much. I'm glad that everything works well for you and great video. I missed this series!
Jewelry making is definitely super OP 😂 especially with all the buffs it can give you when wearing them!
@kayliep9071 no kidding. I love what it does for my occult sims. It works wonders when it comes to werewolves. The fury they get drives me nuts lol
There's a bug with BBB that makes the Crystal Grid not function correctly - the info text when hovering over it won't show what's being charged and how long is left etc. Just to let you know, that's why you're having trouble figuring that part out. It might have been updated when you read this Also, don't put crafted jewelry on/remove it too many times or your Sims will have their physics and genes distorted - fun time, to be a Sims player, eh? xD
but you have to remove it to charge it....i hope they fix that soon
What do you mean physics and genes distorted? Only thing I’ve noticed is my Sim’s fingers looking like they’ve broken for a moment after they put a ring on.
@@laura.b.1989I guess YT didn't like that I put a link in the answer I wrote for you, so I'll try again :) The physics of your Sim changing is most noticeable in teenagers. Their face and body sort of shrink and become thinner and thinner for each time you put on/remove the crafted jewellery. This distorted look is 'genetic' meaning it's what gets passed down if they eventually have kids of their own. Sadly, fixing your Sim in CAS won't help on the genetics and their kids will inherit the distorted look There's a thread on the EA bugs forum about the matter, but I don't think I can link it for you without YT freaking out and deleting my message again
It’s updated now
Better build buy i mean
Wait until James discovers the crystal that stops needs from diminishing.
Hey James, you should be able to tell how long an item will take on the charge grid and also how long that charge will remain when it’s in your inventory. I wasn’t able to see that either, just like you until I removed Better BuildBuy. Also, I’m so happy Rent to Riches is BACK!!!!
it's better buildbuy breaking that feature? damn, i already had to remove the TOOL mod because it was breaking my gemology table >.< ty for the info!
That's usually my thought--mods aren't updated. I have every pack, does that create issues? They usually only use the current pack with base game. Is that how each pack is intended to be used?
BBB has just released a update that should fix this issue!!!
@lizburgess4398 I also have all the packs. I don't think there are many people who only play with basegame and one pack. Even my son who has never paid for a DLC has a few that have been offered as free downloads
@@Silverfur01there's a new TOOL version that fixes the gem table and also now a new BBB version that fixes the charger.
I like the thought that after all of the hard luck Laird ran into while becoming a landlord she turned to crystals to get her through. She's in her crystal era
Laird’s diversion into crystals/ jewelry putting her behind in work is so relatable. It’s like “Hey, check out my cool new hobby, oops I have to also still go to work!”
Literally me though. Especially when I was still in high school.
Yep, still waiting on the pack to work before I purchase. Nice, it will probably be discounted before I decide to buy! Thanks to all SimTubers for showing us how the game works so we can do informed choices.
I'm sure someone else has done this, but I just spent some time checking what jewelry stacks and worked out that you can wear up to 9 pieces of jewelry at once: one necklace, one set of earrings, 2 bracelets (One on each wrist), and 5 rings. Here's a list of what rings go on which finger and which bracelets go on which wrist: Left Index: Bling Ring Mystical Ring Left Middle: Edwardian Gothic Ring Lunar Goddess Ring Right Index: Raw Ring Plumbob Ring Basic Ring Right Middle: Chunky ring Botanical Ring Starry Sailor Ring Right Ring: Delicate Ring Eye Ring Left Wrist: Bling Bracelet Lunar Goddess Bracelet Mystical Bracelet Edwardian Gothic Bracelet Starry Sailor Bracelet Right Wrist: Botanical Bracelet Plumbob Bracelet Delicate Bracelet Chunky Bracelet Eye Bracelet Raw Bracelet Basic Bracelet
Personally I think the rent would be more accurate if you kept the tenants in for 7 days, waited to adjust prices until you’ve been paid for a week at the same price. Just my thoughts!
This has got to be way more exciting than my job. No manager right now. Think anyone would notice if I start watching James. 👀🤣
I just watched this while at work. :)
these gems and stuff will be so good for future Super Sim endeavours
THANK YOU James for the immense amount of work you did to try to make this series work for our joy despite all the issues. 💜💜💜
It would be fun to do a video trying to stack aa many skill gain boosts as possible from all packs (like jewelry+traits+ tiny home) and see how long it takes to raise a skill from 0-10
oooh im def gonna try this with cheats, you could even have sim start out with some of the skill booster traits from being a child/teenager, like scouts o.o
Hmm, 44:00 - if I counted correctly, you should get 19,502 after taxes AND the pop up says that some of the tenants could be overdue - perhaps we should check it and calculate if the sims can count correctly or still nah? :) cheers!
I got the same numbers when counting in the tax so agreed, the difference could be that some tenants haven’t paid yet. Although as someone else pointed out in another comment, when the grace period was active, James raised the rent part way through the week so the total would have to be calculated differently to account for the two different rent amounts.
“You know what they say? Amber has the answer” made me cackle. The most random Aussie reference. 😂😂
I’m really excited to see this series isn’t over, thank you for making it as fun as it’s been and please show more with the crystals!!! Also be sure to put a fence around the crystal charger and a locked gate! Stuff is easily stolen off of them :(
“I think there's a reason why this place is called forgotten.” accurate. What's forgotten should not be remembered. 😂
Oh my god, the amount of work to resurrect this lets play!!! You have the oarient of a saint James. So yeah, I too had to basically delete a bunch of buildings I created at the launch of For Rent, some of it was recoverable from gallery backups, some weren’t. Didn’t have to disable the pack, but everything I have built since then is fine. But with these new patch bugs, I don’t even want to open the game. BUT I will sit in for a James Turner lets play before work. Tho I won’t be buying any packs from EA any time soon. Especially with that eyesore of a cart icon still there.
I haven't opened my game since all the patches last week. I really want the crystal pack, but I'm not going to buy it until I know my game won't break. Also, I'm not happy with the shopping cart that's been added to the in-game menu. Twisted Mexi has a mod to remove it, but still, it's frustrating. Glad to be able to watch James play, though.
@@JuliHoffman Simmatically also has a cart removal mod. It just removes the cart where as I believe TwistedMexi’s was imbedded into BetterBuildBuy, which I took out because it lagged my personal game way too much on top of EA lag. Simmatically’s is simpler, all it does is remove the cart. That being said, I like the cart being there because it reminds me NOT to buy anything from EA (not even just Sims, ANYTHING) until they do better.
@@TheDawnofVanlife Thank you so much for the tip! Using the cart icon to remind you not to buy from EA is hilarious and also super practical. I love that Smmers stick together. 💕
I actually like the new gemology kit! You could look into it because some of those charged gemstones are so powerful and there are lots of the different benefits :)) and I'm also so excited that you can finally continue the series, thank you for pushing through and being patient with those bugs!
Yay it works! You may have some overdue rent so check the mail boxes but so happy! With all the effort you have put it and least something is good for now! Whatever you do though is wonderful and thanks again for all your efforts!
"Amber has the answer" what a throwback, james!! thank you - now the jingle is stuck in my head!!
OMG just hearing James explain all the things he needed to do to get this save to play really makes me thank my stars I didn't invest into Sims 4 coming after buying all the expansions for Sims 3. I really hope EA is able to address this and might just be time for a new one, if Paralives doesn't beat them to it. Just like City Skylines pretty much ended the conversation for the latest Sim City.
I had to switch to the landlord’s family to set the rental rules to break a rule.
James should totally have the rule be no pets and then Mr. Abernathy can find a stray cat to adopt!
I made the rules no noise after 10 pm and I ended up getting evicted from the apartment in my game.
So glad the save isn't broken! But I'd definitely say it might be better to wrap up the series and start a gemology rags to riches? 👀
I got so excited and immediately clicked the video without reading yhe title and IT TURNED OUT TO BE FOR RENT SERIES NOW I'M EVEN MORE EXCITED
I was waiting for a new video! so happy 😄
Love seeing James excited again ❤❤
i was despairing the lack of search bar; glad to see you do have it! been a lifesaver for me! doing maintenance isnt the only way to raise the rating on your apartments; participating in events and i think being social with your tenants also helps i believe panya li is the default property owner for any rentals that dont already have an owner. so if you plop down a rental without also assigning a sim as the owner, he automatically becomes the owner. gleena was asking if she should know nina as a friend rofl could the rent you collect be based on what it was set to at the beginning of the rental period? so maybe the next week you play it will reflect the updated numbers? im glad to see you play this again!
Mr. Abernathy is my favorite character
Challenge idea, you have to make and gift jewelry to every tenant you have
that is such a cute idea
So good to see this series again! The sims is so frustrating to play right now, and we are more than happy to see anything you post! Great video!
You put so much work into this! Really hope the newest bugs don't mess things up again!!
Hi James! I know this video was released a long time ago but I wanted to tell you that when they tell you about the inheritance, by putting "under what conditions?" they automatically give you the money, you don't have to get married. I love the series, it is amazing! ❤
I haven't heard "amber has the answer" in such a long time, bringing back nostalgia James
The inspection and maintenance doesn't seem to affect the maintenance score much but doing some upgrades and always completing the events keeps it at amazing for all my buildings. Tenants will move out and start revolts all the time even if you have 5 stars and amazing maintenance, after playing a few generations I don't think having a lower quality apartment actually makes them more likely to happen... I always mail the book since the curse you get from destroying it gets glitched sometimes :/ I actually don't regret buying this pack but I wish a bit more thought had been put into events so they don't spawn on lots where you can't solve them... not to mention all the bugs
I can't even fathom the length of time you spent on intricately working through everything to do your best to fix your save and I have no idea how you were able to acquire such patience with yourself and with the game to do that but it makes me proud because it certainly takes a lot and I'm glad that you did it because now the game is more fun for you and for us so thank you so so much and I aspire to have your patience levels honestly ✨✨✨
even for rent doesn’t work, watching bigwallets is so good. hope that you’re gonna continue playing with laird
The rent you got was based on the original rent, the grace period doesn't actually reset until the next payout week
Hi James! 23:19 your relationship with the tenants helps with maintenance, so I think that’s part of why Ikeda’s score became satisfactory while the other rentals are poor. Ikeda’s the only one you have some relationship bar with
If you need to farm for crystals, I also suggest joining the scientist career. When you travel to the lot there are a whole bunch of gems and metals that respawn really fast and you can ask your coworkers for them.
new rent to riches episode, let’s go! man, i missed Laird i love how excited and happy you are now that it works. fingers crossed for it to keep working 🤞
I really think what you should do for for rent, if it doesn't work: sell all the buildings you own and just buy the bigwallet emporium, because that would be interesting to see six apartments on. maybe laird can live there or in the house she's now living in or just in a normal rental. and then focus on the crystals. :)
James: I think good things have happened today. Sim just got cursed 😂😂 35:22
The moment the update came i was happy to think rent to riches would do a comeback to youtube
Laird and Glames look so perfect as a couple ❤ we need some McGlorbin in the Bigwallet family tree
Suddenly JTYT loves jewelry! "How many pieces of jewelry can you wear?!" I can't wait to see Laird running around with a ring, earrings, necklace, bracelet ...
Yay so glad to see you so happy James
Wow congrats james! I bet that was really stressful! So glad to have laird back!
I was hoping you would start a new rags to riches with the gemology pack. Rocks to Riches!
Well, I missed you last week, but understand you guys where exchanging houses and preparing this episode, after patch. And I missed Laird, but now I'm also missing Semaj doom challenge. Well we can never have enough from James, it coud be a daily episode, I would always want for more :D
Ah Rent to Riches, Let’s Go! Excited to have you back, loved all the funny dialogue and trying Crystal Creations.
Love everything you do. I would watch you play with the buggy game too. You are so funny and always keep us coming back.
I’m excited to see this series back. Your highlighting of bugs, although frustrating for you, is always appreciated, hopefully it’s heard by EA.
positive interactions with tenants also really helps with maintenance, at least in my game :)
The fact that James managed to get his game to work gives me hope the TS4 is still playable.
Ahhh so nice to get the new ep!!!!! Always amazed by James' patience with the game.
Great maintenance and talking with the Sims that live there help raise the rating
AE : 'Let's release a new For Rent Pack ... Let's not test that pack properly ... Let's sell it to our loyal customers (which we need if we want our company to be successful) Let's realise that our Pack is unplayable ... Let's patch it over and over without fixing it (something that we wouldn't have had to have done, if we had of just been a little less greedy, and had tested the pack properly, before releasing it) ... Let's watch as our customers lose faith in us, our product, and our company and stop buying our products ... Let's watch as our company goes under ... Let's sigh and walk away, thinking to ourselves 'What could we have done better ...?'
I clicked on this so fast! I was hoping we’d get a crystal crafting mini let’s play but I never imagined it would also be the return of 4 rent!
When James’s phone went off who else checked theirs 😂
So excited that this series is back! Still frustrating that it's so buggy, but I'm glad it's more playable now. Laird's bunny suit sleepwear cracks me up every time.
This let’s play is the one I watched the longest. Glad it’s back
Do upgrades while you're doing maintenance. It really helps.
So glad to see this series is back!! 🎉 I was missing the Bigwallets and decided to go back and binge watch the entire series starting with Lady Bigwallet the First!
Thank you James for all the work you have done to bring us this series back! I’m so happy it’s back and the lack of bugs definitely makes a difference!!!
Glad to see the series is finally playable❤
Such a fun video, thanks for the intro because now I'm going to try the same technique to fix my for rent save!
Not a fan of supernatural packs so I don't care about crystal creations at all, I just really wish Wish that For Rent was Not broken. I Loved the past episodes you made about Renting, buying houses, crafting furniture, dating, befriending rich people, stealing mom's stuff and selling food. That was really fun times😢
Regarding the maintenance, I got fantastic maintenance after upgrading the bathrooms and kitchen :-) I never did the inspections
So happy it finally worked out! Flas you’re back with this family!
James, your patience with and dedication to being kind to EA is truly inspiring.
I watched EnglishSimmer's video and apparently there are new glitches regarding Emotion buffs disappearing if you save and come back. She tested it and didn't have any issues with pregnancy vanishing but be careful. Also putting on and taking off Jewelry can drastically change your Sim's appearance because it starts randomizing sliders for some reason. Just a heads up.
JAMES! OH MY GOD!! YOU'RE HERE!!!
Maybe grab the sign that came with the pack. The one that looks like a for sale sign You can use that to check your rentals Maybe that will show the new information they said they added
for the last like year or tow i have been watching the full bigwallet series and im so happy to watch this episode the same day it came up! Im up to date on the Bigwallet sereies!!!
Perfect timing (as always). Just wanted to take a break and watch a video. This is great!
Yay happy to see it. Bugs were so bad, I had to stop my own story I created just to start this pack. It was an early birthday gift for myself so I didn’t wait for the bug issues.
I wouldn't be opposed to a hard pivot to a rags to crystals series with Lewis Bigwallet, for rent is so bugged you shouldn't have to walk on eggshells to get the pack to work
I hope things continue going smoothly! And maybe the rent is not glitched- maybe only half your tenants are not paying 😂
Super Sim challenge would take one episode with these crystal buffs😂😂 (if you can load into the game)
My legacy sim met Semaj in my latest play and I’m like oh my gosh yes!! But then when she flirted with him he said he wasn’t interested that way so they just became besties! 😂
Yasssss!!! I’m excited to see a new episode!!
Bbb won't let the crystals charge
Is there a crystal pack tho?
i have a weird bug where the crystal charged and affected one of my sims, but my other sim didnt get any buffs from it o.O
I would love to see Laird have a science baby with Mr. A, and that child does the Rags to Riches with the gem pack
Agreed, nice idea about a science baby with him!😃
omg that'd be so cute!
