Rule suggestion! Every time you age the kids up, you have to invite all of the baby parents. Chaotic b-day party ensues.
I'd LOVE to watch James go through that lol
Yes that would be epic!
Love this idea!!!
This has to happen. It's a necessity.
Why can't I up vote this more than once! I need to see this!!!
45:20 "we've done good-- no, you know what, *I've* done good, *you've* not done anything" I almost choked on my sandwich, the absolute SASS I love it 🤣💀🤣
🤣🤣
The complete opposite of Deligracy’s energy 😂😂😂
Kristoff's aspiration probably should be creative since his favorite hobby was painting. Thoughts?
Agree'd. I was just coming here to say that.
Yes!
Totally agree!
Also thought this.
@@marli8907 100 % true, but he can give him the painting aspiration later too :)
When he said that money will solve all his problems, I felt that.
💯
Yes! For real
this.
mood😊🫶🏻
Every time Semaj comes home from his acting gig. Me: (Screaming internally) "PUT THE FOOD IN THE FRIDGE!!" But he always forgets... Hahahaha!! 🤣
He was sending me into a fury!!! 😂😂😂
@@DrkSknPYT Thank goodness he has the Plumbite crystal now. Otherwise the poor kids would be starving!
and he still had the days old pizza in his inventory
I was doing the same :)
I was waiting the whole time to see if he would put it up!🥲🥲
An hour and 25 minutes?? James you're too good to us 😭
Long form content, baby!
I thought the same thing 🤣🤣
I know!!! I LOVE these long videos!
Could easily watch 2 hours of this 😂
Lol I'm the other way, I've got a 9 month old at home and barely have time to look at my phone, let alone watch a hour and a half long video, I wish they were shorter videos just so I can squeeze the whole video into one nap session 🙃 😅😅
Oh no, poor Camillo/Calculon/Colossus will be renamed every single time James sees him, isn't he xD
Hopefully
I cracked up so hard when he said Calculon with such confidence
😂😂 literally spit my tea out when he said colonial
I feel like this child is gonna be like Benedict Cumberbatch. Coming up with every name but his real one.
@@adrianmaxwell5857 idk who that is I only know benedrill cucumberbridge
A child's equivalent to fitness skill is the motor skill. You can have Pablo climb monkey bars, dance, play football and basketball for that. Oh! Yoga too!
Came here to say this :)
Came here to say this 😂 but yoga is wellness not fitness.
@@zararobnett8284 Yoga, for teens to elders yes, it's wellness skill. But for the kids, if they use it, they are working on their motor and mental skill. I was talking about for the child.
Use the toddler slide too
So you can have an instantly ripped teen with a 6 pack lmao
It's been a long time since I "shipped" a couple but I just decided that Semaj and Nalani are canon in the JamesTurnerVerse
i think james genuinely likes her lol
Yes because now it's been two mini series (in a row too!) where Semaj has fallen in love with Nalani!
We need this to be canon though. He always ends up with Nalani regardless of the adventures!
there iiis that final elder goal to settle down with one of the baby parentsss 🤔
@@ddubs42 omg yes! I hope he'll end up with Nalani again 🤞🏼 haha
The gem is not limited by room! Place the charging grid next to the kids room. It will work on the grid and never run out.
This!!!
I thought it might have a radius! That is suuuuper helpful
Fricken genius
Omg such a good tip!!!
Yes! I learned this by accident 😅 I kept forgetting to take the crystals off the charging grid and it was still affecting my sim in the nearest room.
"It's me, Bernice! I'm in the bushes! 👀" Got me for sure 😂😂
I loved when she called to say “oh I see you’re getting close to nalani 😒” 😂😂
Bernice's behaviour really explains a lot about Krysta (from Growing Together LP) 😂
This is exactly what I was thinking as well
😂😂😂😂oh my god your right!!! 😂😂😂
Now we know why she was never at home 😂
the familiar similarities are off the charts and i’m obsessed
Hiiiii it's meeeee
I feel like when the kid ages up to child life stage, they should get the trait that most closely relates to their hobby. So Krystoff would be creative, Pablo would be active, etc.
agreed!!
At least the applicable aspiration. But agreed on the traits too. Hot headed is going to be a nightmare in a house that stressful 😂
It needs to be a thing where Malani's child is never called by their correct name. I look forward to seeing how little Calisthenics grows up
Ah yes, little Caramel. He's gonna be a riot, I can already tell.
Yes! Sweet little Caltrops. What a charmer!
What are you talking about? Cozumel is a great name. :D
Constantinople is definitely going to be the best infant
Canary Convertible Corvette is gonna be the fan favorite kid I can already tell.
the Toddler skill hacks are as follows Thinking - Watching Sims Imagination - Play Tent Movement - Slide Communication - Talk to plants
Potty - Watching other toddler learn how to potty (this one is going to help with the twins)
Talk to Blarffy!
TV for creative is one I always forget about as well
is talking to plants better than blarfy?
My toddlers were autonomously going to talk to my plants and I was like STOP IT. I didn't realize it's great for social skills. I just didn't want them to keep going downstairs and outside by themselves. 😅
should add cas makeovers for the kids to define more easily like dressing them in their favorite color/style and krystoff definitely needs big curly hair!
I came here to say the same thing! Each kid should at LEAST have their shirts be primarily their favorite color. That'll make it so much easier to remember who likes which color and who belongs to each bedroom. Someone commented in a previous video that James should also update each kid's official likes in CAS with their favorite color and activity.
At the end when you have to marry one of your baby mamas, you should definitely marry Nalani
YESSSSS I love this idea!!!
Wondering when James will realise there's a coffee machine in the sitcom kitchen
I was screaming at the screen hahaha needed to find a comment that mentioned it
Wondering how many were screaming at the screen telling him in frustration! 😂
I was among the ones that screamed 😂 I've used the sitcom items to make drinks and get the entire cast and crew drunk after doing the scenes lmao
Sameeee
😮😂
Semaj: I love all my children! Krystoff, Pablo, Vivienne and uh [reads from smudged handwriting on hand] Sorry and Calculus.
I keep thinking caramello candy bars.
I understand why you would want to split them and if its easier for you then I support it but I LOVE the extra long episodes - they're so great to watch while working on things and they totally brighten my day. I was thrilled to see today's episode was so long!
Still beginning of video so maybe got to it but having a toddler "watch" an adult sim repeatedly will raise the thinking skill super fast much better then tablet and blocks!
also clicking ‘what’s that?’ on random items also raises the skill relatively fast!
That's a good Tipps :)
He supposedly learns this every time he got toddlers, 7 toddlers challenge for example, never hurts getting reminded though
It's also best to queue up a TON at once because it happens so incredibly fast, they finish the Watch action in seconds. Also this was mentioned elsewhere but having a toddler watch another toddler being potty trained is also extremely helpful for twins when they both need someone to teach them. (Alternatively could have a random visitor helping if they can ask them but you know.)
"tummy time PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!" was extemely funny on its own but also extra cute to say to the child whose interest will be fitness 😄
I didn't even think about that. That's hilarious
"I'm literally surviving between collapsings." As the parent of a kid who didn't sleep for more than two hours for his first two years, I felt that in my SOUL.
I'm so sorry, I hope you are able to sleep more now! I do love your perspective, it seems as though the Growing Together pack really depicts the reality of the physical toll that being a parent can take on someone's body. Especially in depicting the general constant labor involved in taking care of newborns, infants, and toddlers.
@@dorian417 Aww, thank you. We're getting better sleep and doing okay now... well, except for that whole 13-year-old stage we now get to navigate. 😅
Do we think James will ever remember about the food and his inventory from the acting career? 😂 😂 this let’s play is so chaotic 😂
I'm just wondering if he will ever say 'yes' to Mae and actually divorce her. LOL
"I'll have to change my diaper if you don't give me a second here." - what I say everyday as a twin mom 🤣😂
Encourage counts as discipline for the aspiration milestone - they are effectively the same thing for the parenting skill and then you don’t end up forcing your toddler to misbehave just to progress.
I love how Vivienne is the only girl in this family with so many brothers 😂
Yeah and she even gets the pink room
Bernice is a bit of a stalker but she’s a dedicated mom. And to be fair, if you’ve got a toddler still awake at midnight having someone else show up to help with them is actually such an awesome feeling. Everyone is willing to help during the day, but it’s a rare person who shows up in the middle of the night when you’re at your wits end.
when Pablo is a child, I feel like they need some monkey bars in the yard for fitness
I LOLed at the "Tummy Time, Push the Limits!" I could just see an overzealous parenting class having that as their motto.
ok can we talk about the fact berniece has almost as many kids if not more then him rn? thats why shes really calling everytime hes with someone new or always coming by so she can have as many kids as hes got. shes obsessed!!!
"I think money will solve my problems" - James Turner 😆
We all felt that.
Ain't that the truth 😭
He’s not wrong lol
"How are you guys still hungry" As someone who lives in a house with a newborn baby, they do nothing but EAT EAT EAT. It's exhausting! You're getting off lucky with Sims babies. 🤣
Eat, sleep and poo/pee. Haha 😆 Sims babies are definitely easier lol!
They do things you don’t even know like real life like observe. Hear people talk about things that’s negative even toddlers know or kid like a 5- 19 years old and see how parents or friends parents behave they go to school and be naughty but some of the kids gets worse like if there violence abuse or negative toxic abuse from a parent to a kid and they really get in truble maybe turn them to criminal and how there treated them and if they have kids sometimes it’s like generations . But sims is cool using them to tell your story and struggles in life though . As a infant in real life I self taught my self to draw and paint that thats expressionism art and I could not talk only gibberish because I’m born with microcephaly and my real dad abandoned me and my mom when I was just a baby because my disability and can’t function. And he blamed my mom and took all my baby stuff even my crib and sold it when he disappeared. That was back in the 90s Now going to face him for 29 years going to Canada London / Quebec Ontario from Georgia to see his guilt but I know he don’t care so me seeing dumbs say to James you don’t need the crib even though it’s a game , you all have to think about my life . Thank god I figured how to talk at 8 and a half years old when docters say I’ll never learn to talk and function and when I was 17 years old I became a KZheadr when I left 10th grade and never went back and post my art and I still post but also post my sims builds that match my original artwork because I d been playing sims sence sims 1 back in the 90s-2000s But I hope I can put my art in paintings in InZoi and sims 5 with out dumb cc 2:13
Just to let you know they still EAT EAT EAT only different is they ask for it 😂
@hopec.9520 and then when they are like 1 month they get bored 😂 i definitely wasn't expecting that 😂😂😂
@@pocahontasseguinart7099 Had a stroke reading this
“Hates wake up time” same, pablo
Died laughing during the photo taking session 😂 and Camilo’s name becoming Colossus/Calculong 😂
We either get James trying to parent a circus or making a thruple happen. 😅
to make the challenge infinitely harder, you could say yes to anything Bernice asks haha
"I feel like money will solve my problems, you know?" Yes James, that's my mood all the time.
I love how playthrough worked with the hobby that was chosen for the older kids. Kristof, having painting, was sent to the tent a lot and got most imagination. And Pablo, having fitness, spent so much time in the playmat that he got more movement skills. :)
“Encouraging” a child also counts as disciplining them 😊
“drink with desperation please” is just too real 😂 as soon as he got home from tho gig he opened his inventory and I thought he was going to put the food away and I kept screaming but he didn’t also, James I think the bottle from the baby is inside the wall maybe, you have to delete the wall to check and get it out and then rebuild it
You should make a kids playroom/skill room so you can have a common space for all of the kids to put the needs crystal in while they work on their skills
He acts like longer videos are a bad thing. Thats all I want from this challenge! I can’t wait to see the rooms for the twins and Pablo’s sports equipment.
Bernice is one of my favorite parts of the series so far LOL. *watches from the bushes*
Infants will gain the reach skills faster if you have them "look at toys" and "play with toys" from their perspective, rather than just putting them on the play mat. Also, the slide works great for movement skill for the toddler.
next baby should be called turner rentrut ☺
When you called Camilo "Calculon" I spit laughing lol
I am absolutely loving this series. I think it would be a good idea to make the favorites actually favorites in CAS, so that there isn't the possibility of the pop up making you say they do not like it. It would also help boost their mood when they are around their favorite colors and styles as well as give them fun when they are doing their favorite activity. Chaos is good too though, just thought it might help the overall mood especially when teens are involved.
When you go to work, there is a couch in the makeup guys room. You could just take a quick nap since you have plenty of time.
He said in an earlier episode that he doesn't want to do that :)
I feel like Bernice is just doing her own every life stage challenge at this point. She at least trying to compete for most babies
James should get the fridge display so the toddlers can always help themselves to food. One less step.
Now that you have the gemology skill, you may want to whip up some amethysts for the bedrooms for SUPER-FAST sleep! Will probably help with kids and teens attending school, as well.
Science baby names: -Einstein or Albert/Alberta - Leonardo (Da Vinci) - Dolly (the cloned sheep)
Calculon is such a cute baby and i almost got teary eyed at the alternate dimension love for Nalani 🥺
for the acting career when you complete the prep tasks, that's what triggers the successful 'risky' act, you can tell by witch icon is associated with each action. the 'risky' acts are what give you the best job performance :)
I like how James rushes to get the food from the Acting career lot, but as soon as Semaj is home, he forgets it
The number of times I yelled, "PUT THE FOOD IN THE FRIDGE!!!" 😖
Omg me too 😂
Same.
I don't comment often but just wanted to pop in and say that I've had a rough couple of days, and being able to chill watching an HOUR AND A HALF video of a fun challenge helps more than you know. Thanks for doing what you do, James.
I had an infant reach a bunch of milestones and lived in a tiny home… she maxed every toddler skill in like 2 days, it was insane
The quickest way to get thinking up is to have the toddler watch other sims. Also, Tummy Time is under friendly and activities I think.
Discipline your toddler also includes praising them and you can also queue it up. Like teach to say sorry, then queue up 'praise' 5 times.
The acting scene as a doctor, I am pretty sure that was just an episode of Grey's Anatomy 🤔🤣
Camilo is never going to be called by his actual name
For the discipline aspiration task, “encourage” actions under parenting actually do count!
Spends money on an easel... forgets about the easel... lol
“But I need more money more fast” sameee
I am so incredibly okay with hour and a half long episodes of this. The chaotic energy is such fun to watch!
Anyone else yelling at James to put the food away every time Semaj comes home from a gig? 😆
Don’t forget that Pablo’s baby prints are against the living room window 😂
To help eliminate extra baby care, I always “cuddle” after every diaper change and “rock” after every feed. Seems to keep their social high enough to where they only need either diaper or feed. Good luck! Love this series so far!
Good tip, thanks.
I like how Semaj is still in the red energy zone and James is like "that's enough energy." Real parenting mood right there.
When you evolve a baby into an infant, their needs are usually pretty good so you should aim to get them on the learning mat right away and do tummy time as much as you can. Fix their needs when it goes too far down and put them back on the mat. From the infant you can have them look at the toys a bunch which will make the reach milestone quite fast, then still from the infant perspective have them reach for toys a bunch and they should get grab milestone quickly too
When the twins becomes a children you could create a club with both of them in it. That way one could live with Mom and not count against the household limit, but still always be around very easily.
For future picture needs (if it comes up) - you can do "take photo of" for infants if they're already on the playmat. But the photographer needs to be able to get to one of the sides of the playmat too.
I kept saying this as he struggled to take pictures 😅
the best way to raise toddler thinking skill is to do flash cards. basically, the best skill-building activities for children and toddlers are when they are interacting with an older Sim, for the most part. one exception is the imagination skill and the play tent from Dream Home Decorator, IIRC, and maybe the slide from the toddler stuff pack for the movement skill. I really hope Semaj has a mermaid kid because that would be hilarious! in fact, I kinda want to see a werewolf baby just because their little howl is too cute when they're newborns
If you ever can't find Tummy Time together it is under the Friendly and then Activities tab for the infant, I figured this might be useful to anyone in the comments who might not have known.
I love how the Robles became the best family in James' game! Stalker Bernice is so funny to me. Also, all the food in Semaj's inventory now? Ahaha
Little tip I discovered trying to make big families more effective and self sufficient lol- between baby and toddler you can click on the bladder under needs and it makes them use their diaper if the need it low enough so you can change that dirty diaper on your time. You can also just click on any need for any Sim and they'll automatically go to solve it. Sleep is the most annoying though since they usually default to napping in bed rather than sleeping.
Also, nesting blocks are great for thinking skill. I haven't finished the video just yet so you might have bought them lol. Parents can also teach shapes or help with the nesting blocks, but I usually stick toddlers on the blocks when they're happy as a passive build. Nesting blocks also help with movement with the stack option
I actually love Calcullon great addition to the household 1:23:23
😅
The sound of the babies crying will haunt me in my dreams.
You gotta have a kid with Bess!
Potential baby names based on science: Nova, Astra, Kepler, Data, Beaker, Flask, Helix, Atom, Electra, Wave, Quanta, Tubie
Fitting that you're doing a life stage challenge right now. I am a first time mom and have a 6 week old newborn. Your challenge series have been helping me get though some tough days. So thank you for always having wonderful content!
put an end table or shelf in each kids room, give each room a cheap radio. for the baby - toddler stage put it on Lullabies, for the child, put it on the childrens station. they will sleep longer to give you a break.
Turning on the wants system will help get points so you can purchase more moodlet solvers.
SUCH a long video! So ready!
Pablo is my favourite, that cursed smile while taking the photo had me laughing so hard 🤣 l have such good time watching this let’s play, I love the humour around the miseries 🫠
The “my precious!!!” killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 “Calculon” lmaooo also he never divorced Mei 🤣🤣 this was epic and chaotic
best mood to increase toddler skills: Movement: Animated imagination: Playful Thinking and Communication: Happy
This is one of the best series lately! The chaos is pure fun!
The fact that the mermaid baby got the Island Room Style is perfect!
Definitely the earliest I've ever been! Loving this series!
The toddler slide is great for building the movement skill, it'll increase the skill really quickly.
I am living for this series lately. An hour and a half long video is amazing! Thank you James!
Every time I think Bernice has finally given up…she comes back for more 😂
Have the toddler and infant interact that may help milestones or skills!
Was at work on break going through James withdrawals lmao then this pops up 2 minutes later. 😂
new baby, calculator, is so cute
Right? Baby Calcium is just so adorbs 😍.
You can always tell when semaJ is REALLY enjoying himself, because his videos are well over an hour long
i love that THIS famous actor Semaj Renrut is completely having a different life to OTHER famous actor Semaj Renrut.
