Imagine being a maid and showing up at a new clients home. You walk in to them silently sitting cross-legged on the floor reading cookbooks surrounded by filth and sentient dust piles with nothing but the most basic furnishings, a bar, and an easel 😂😂😂
Yo...that kinda sounds like me. A minimalist who needs help cleaning cuz I'm too busy with my hobbies.
@@LIIantonioIIL and im too busy cleaning to have hobbies 😂
@@lilymorgan769 omg I feel you 🤣
a hole where the stove was supposed to be lmao
a normal house for any artistic person
Becoming certified master in something without ever doing in in practice sounds like a better university simulator than Discover University 😂
Or me with Doctor who
Challenge idea: to build a house using only the money borrowed from other sims. You can borrow money via gameplay if you have high enough charisma skill.
This sounds really fun! I might have to try this myself.
This sounds absolutely absurd and I LOVE it
Best challenge idea I’ve seen in a while!
Totally am gonna try this! It'll be a slog spending a week mostly talking to a mirror in a public bathroom (friendly interactions only go so far), but once it's there should be fun.
Sounds so fun! ❤
Could you imagine going on some show like "Hell's Kitchen" and saying, I've never actually cooked anything or even turned on a stove...but I consider myself a Master Chef because I've read every cookbook in existence!
I think poor Gordon would just combust on the spot😂
And the most insane thing about it is that they ARE a master chef, lmao
Lmaoo I think there actually was an episode like this. Not quite to this extreme but it was pretty rough 😂
This gave me an idea. Get Gordon on that Worst Chef in America show, but don't tell him
I have never seen a sim skill up so fast from reading a book 😂😂😂 I'm about to put a tiny home "library" in my game
I would Sims could vacation in a tiny home! You can pretend to do it if you have enough money (you just move to the tiny home, then move out) but a home can't be a rental lot and a tiny home at the same time, unfortunately.
the sim who lives the could just be the "librarian"
I believe to "Demande a promotion" you need to go to work in confident mood and it will be one of the options (as a "Schmoose with boss")
Demand a promotion is linked to charisma and you use your phone. Going to work confident just let's you schmooze with the boss
@@animaloversammy aah yes ! You're right 👍
I see everyone do this in their LP's.... If you need to complete 3 emotional paintings, keep the first one and enable the emotional aura from that painting, then complete your other two. It's so much easier, but everyone immediately sells the painting. Other than that, flawless lol. Loved the video and happy belated birthday!!
Thank you for sharing this! I can’t wait to use it
You’re so smart
You could also have three easels and start all three paintings without completing them, and finish them at any point no matter the mood and still get credit as well.
Thank you!! This drives me nuts as well, hopefully he sees it
Another way, similar to what jagsixteen mentioned but without the need for multiple easels, is to start the emotional paintings, stop and move them onto the wall/into inventory and repeat for the 3 needed. Then you can do them whenever. (I always do this myself haha)
I keep wishing James would get a pet for the points - "feel the love" gives you 250 points every time!
Btw if you ever do this scenario again... I remember when I was doing it, I made my sim a vampire so they could sleep in the coffin and fast forward the days off LOL
Genius.
This was so much fun to watch! There are a couple of other things you can do to boost job performance that I use all the time. First, start a club, and use club points to buy the perk that increases job performance! Second, reaching level 10 charisma gives the option to call your boss and ask for a promotion (easy to do while living in a tiny home).
And with high enough programming skill you can hack job performance
James insulting past James at the end had me! 😂
I'm always excited to watch James's videos. Then, binge the rags to riches playlist afterwards.
I usually binge Super Sim lol
every lot challenge is my favourite playlist
@@wildcraftsims i just finished the big wallet family playlist, should i watch super sim next?
@@makaylajones3782 I love the super sim series. the first few episodes are a bit slow because there is so much more to the game since when he started it, but once you get into it I'm obsessed. I'm doing my own challenge where I start with an infant lol
never had a unique experience in my life lol- my fav is cottage living rags to ritches but currently rebinging his current LP
I sort of wish they'd do more career scenarios. There are so many jobs I haven't played far, because my sims make more money being jobless. Work takes over everything. But if a scenario or challenge is attached, I might actually experience them. I did this cooking one immediately after it came out.
I beat this scenario by being a cold kitchen chef - I just made salads and whatever didn't require the stove. After finishing, the sim still has some unlucky chef hidden trait and sets fire to the kitchen pretty much every time she cooks. I kinda hoped this would stop after I won the sceario😆
You can also get cooking skill from watching the cooking channel, and from making things like salads that don't require the stove.
When you have the emotional control buff, you can click on your sim and choose to "surge emotion" and feel whatever emotion you want
Did you watch the video? He did that a few times.
And then I watch far enough into the video and see that you figured it out :)
I didn't know you can do that...I was so annoyed when my sim kept feeling "Fine" and I'd have to cheat it away.
Dude how did I not know I could this? lol thanks
At one point I was afraid that Semaj will start a fire not from cooking, but from how filthy his house was. That would've been epic🤣🤣🤣
How sneaky to use skill books and skill classes to max your skills and to only prepare non-stove dishes for your daily tasks. To negotiate a promotion, your sim either needs L10 Charisma or L10 Research & Debate. Really enjoyed this video!
You can also use the wishing well to ask for a promotion, it will fill the performance bar and promote you the next time you go to work. That could cut some days from the challenge, but the sim needs to be in a good mood while making the wish 😊
Sometimes I would watch a lot of 'Cooking' shows on TV and it boosted my cooking really well...especially helpful in the beginning.
with the emotional paintings, i start one then drag it away from the easel straight away. once i have three of them the sim can finish it in any emotion and it still counts
That is GENIUS, thank you for this
DmmM.. . Mcmmkfkkeurjjjjjwkii3001ⁿ9⁸87³q¹endnnwjwwjk32ìiekmdmekjw8ierkkķkrkwEjr
love that you revisit this scenario! I would love to watch more scenarios as well :)
Fun fact: that 'emotional control' thing lets you *choose* an emotion for your sims. Click on your sim, then click on 'surge emotion'. Super helpful!
If you only cooked salads, you wouldnt start a fire since you dont need to use the stove... this is making me consider the culinary career for my sim; i've been trying to figure out what she's gonna be when she grows up. planning to do an every lot challenge challenge with her, too, so that would make things interesting. finally, salads.
If a sim is Emotionally Mindful, if you click on them you have the option to surge any emotion you want. It is a little confusing though since it always starts by at first giving your sim a super strong fine emotion if you don’t surge an emotion which is really annoying if you don’t know you can surge an emotion
Good tip for mental fog and burnout. Nap a bunch for mental fog and for burnout buy one of the lounge chairs and relax for a bit. Really quick to get rid of it and it's actually more beneficial to get burntout because it's easier to get rid of than constantly getting mental fog
I did this by using the cupcake machine. You can also make salads with no fire. Just throwing this out there.
Wait what I thought that's baking skill. The cupcake machine builds cooking skill???!? :0
@@dontwanagivit1860 yes! 😂 don’t ask me why but it does
@@shelby8101 ughhh it's so dumb 😂🤷🏻♀️ I wish they fixed baking so that everything that is actually baking in real life (like cakes, muffins and all of the cookies) would be baking in Sims too!
@@dontwanagivit1860 totally agree!!!
@@dontwanagivit1860 don’t forget, you have to cook a cake! 😂
I did this scenario, naming my Sim after Bennett, the unlucky character from the game Genshin Impact (who sets himself on fire after charging up his attack), and the three-time F1 champ Niki Lauda (who infamously almost died in a fire in 1976). I greatly enjoyed playing it. Nice to see James doing it again!
Love that! Also the fact that Bennett can't cook makes it 100% funnier lol
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought about him 😂😂
For anyone wondering, you can still get the emotion lights if you buy sims 3 packs, I don’t think they’ll ever disable that
How many I have to buy?
@@LIIantonioIIL you get a specific light for specific packs. I don’t remember them off the top of my head but I think Pets is like a happiness or playful light, late night I believe is flirty etc. you might be able to look up which packs give which lights
@@UnassumingLlama damn. I'll just stick to using paintings and furniture that give off the aura's then lol. But thanks
Honestly pretty absurd they want you to buy every pack to get all of them especially when the Sims 3 packs rarely go on sale
@@LIIantonioIIL I know I'm a little late, but I looked it up in my game for you. It seems like every mood (except for romantic) has 2 different lamps, so you only need one each. confident - World Adventures, Showtime inspired - Ambitions, Supernatural focused - University Life, Into the Future romantic - Late Night playful - Pets, Island Paradise and then there's two lamps without emotions for Generations and Seasons, but those give +4 environment. But there's another way to get a strong buff on emotions. Those jungle berries from Jungle Adventures. You don't need to take a trip to Selvadorada, you can just buy them on the market in Henford and grow them in your garden (to get more). They are always in-season. Just eat one and you'll get a +3 buff on the corresponding emotion. There's also a +3 happy one, but the berries can't be stacked with each other. If you don't have Jungle Adventures, then there's also the new mushroom types from Cottage Living, they give +1 (confident and focused give +2). Sadly there isn't one for inspired and also none for happy, but you can stack those mushrooms with the jungle berries at least.
Thanks for coming back to this scenario! I love the videos you come up with!
James thank you for all the awesome videos! I always get so excited when I see you've posted something new. 🙂
This scenario is so fun! I had my Sim throw lots of dinner parties for the satisfaction points, salads only, and bought Connections before starting the career. Her house was a similar set up. I forget how long it took me.
6:20 Can confirm that the plumbob lamps will be added to your sims 4 if you still buy the sims 3 today. (I got the starter pack around my birthday and some more DLC while it was all on sale, and was pleasantly surprised to find a few of the lamps in my build mode catalog when I got on :))
If you do this challenge again, I think something that could help is to maybe attempt completing the gardening aspiration since the naturalist trait gained helps with fires and stuff. Could be a thing to explore doing since you have to wait so long to get through the entire culinary career. Awesome video as always!
It would be fun to combine this with the every lot challenge
fun for us, not fun for james 😂
I absolutely love these one off videos... such a fun energy ❤
Loved the first time you did this challenge! And I'm excited to see you do it again with a new take on it!!
A quick tip. You can sell the drinks your sim makes at the bar. Just drag them into your inventory and sell them there.
Or a step further.. Make water (it counts), it's free, and then drag the glasses to the money trash can. It's not cheating when it's in the game, right? haha
Yes! The resurrection of scenario’s! And I’m al for it👏🏻☺️
Love this! James you should make more challenges videos!
Your Sim can't start a fire when making salads. So when I do this challenge, I make salads when the Sim is required to cook. And the Caprese salad is also the quickest thing to make in the game. It's considered a "gourmet food" too, which is good when gourmet food is required.
fun trick: with level 10 charisma skill (or maybe level 8 or 9), you can request a raise from your boss at work. this seems to work every time if your sim is confident
was minding my own business watching James and suddenly deli shows up advertising the sims curseforge app, took me a hot minute to realize she hadn't taken over the video
Thank you for this video! 😀🌺
your videos are so relaxing for me for no reason
Tip for reading books with Sims 4: Queue up at last 2 actions for reading books (and other often tasks that autonomously gets canceled by the game such as things on the computer, homework), with the exception of the Infant Autonomy mess, this will keep your sims from prematurely canceling the actions like reading. You didn't seem to experience it as much in this video, but I've seen it on your other episodes. Have a good one
yeah, this. I cue a bunch. It might also be the setting in MCCC that's called "put away book fix" so they don't leave them laying around. My sim just wants to put it away almost as soon as they sit down.
I love listening to your voice when I am working
My first reaction to this video is: i love you James hahahah, i just love how you always find new challenges, new ways to play the game, to use old features and exploit features to their best potential. Thank you for all the hard work you put in your channel !!
this sounds so fun Im hyped to watch
That was fun! You should have titled it "Can I beat this scenario without starting a single fire?" because you did it! I remember the last time you did this one and it was fire after fire. Great job!
That Evil Dust Bunny taught James one of the truths about parenting they don't share with you... Just because you provided something with life doesn't mean they'll automatically respect you 😅
Woo Hoo!!!! It’s a happy day with another James video! 💛
Just started watching, Hoping James adds a TV so he can gain skill from watching the cooking channel
Love your vids!! ❤️
I did this challenge. It was the hardest one, and most satisfying to complete. I also used simple living and had to grow my own food. Very fun.
i always look forward to ur vids
Well done 👍
The promotion thing is a Charisma thing. I don't know from the top of my head what level, but I know it's linked to that!
You get the "ask for promotion" thing is from a high charisma skill, James! I've been yelling at my monitor the whole time XD
That bunny just showing up and chilling out I'm the background....that freaks me out a bit 😂
Haha, James roasting his past self at the end. lmao🤣🤣
You can also create a holiday making skill gain easier and doing that will also give u aspiration points
I did this scenario ages ago and only started one fire despite using stoves the whole time - but not on my home lot. I think the fire thing is tied to the lot rather than the sim, at least that was my experience. Also you could have used the days off to max charisma skill and ask for raise that way, it's pretty powerful.
This was hilarious and interesting at the same time 😁
It was funnier than I expected 😂 what packs/kits/mods do you use?
Love your videos and the sims it's perfect
26:11 Don’t think we aren’t gonna clock the donation to Bess 😂 Always love these challenges!!
I miss how in sims2 when you joined a job it would place you at the level your skills had you!
Yes, you still get the lights if you buy the Sims 3 now. I recently bought them all just a couple weeks ago and they're all on sale for half off. I didn't expect the lights. I was just seeing if I liked the Sims 3.
I didn't know lamps could alter emotions, scrolled past them 100 times. Thank you for the awesome game tip
Celebrity Salad Chef 🤣
Im doing this challenge and the homey lot trait is helping me. Reading the books and watching the cooking channel
You're slowly optimizing this challenge, it seems! XD I look forward to you taking on any other scenarios that might strike your fancy again -- I mean, Makin' Money always works for a good quick-start Rags To Riches. . .
This is how I always play- with all the boosts super stacked. :)
I purposely didn't buy a stove when doing this so I knew what I could make without starting a fire
I once became level 10 cooking and gourmet cooking by minimally cooking, BUT watching a lot of the cooking channel while living in a tiny house.
For 18:00 that's how long it would take to go away at the current decay rate. It goes down to 9 hours because of the boost from doing a creative skill, but once you stop painting it goes back to the normal rate.
getting flashbacks to the clam chowder delivery
I was throughly entertained watching this. Loved it!
i think salads also counts as prepare food, and since no stove needed for those should be a no fire option
"What is with the days off in this game? Stop!" James, a really good boss.
wow I thought I didn’t need the cottagecore expansion but looking at those kitchen cabinets… oh no 💸
"What is with the days off in this job!?" Is something I never thought I'd hear someone yell haha! Enjoying the video though!!
There is such food as Onigiri (if I remember right) or salads that don't require the use of stove at all. And they still up your cooking skill, and they are perfectly safe :) I finished that scenario as a chef cook, the upper one (which is considered less safe)
Getting the sims 3 packs still give you the lights to this day! Finally bought supernatural and into the future last week and I got the two lights in the game :)
I wish they did that for people who have bought everything on Steam. I own all content for both games but never got those.. Emotions are pretty easy to manipulate anyway, fortunately.
James calling his past self semaj 😂😂 the sims has truly crept into reality
I easily finished the challenge easily with cooking on grills in parks as well as the kitchen in the bar in Henford-on Bagley and the main building in the park in San Myshuno. Never started a single fire. If I tried to cook at my house however, fire every time.
Mix drinks: yes, you can mix a "Water", and it counts, and it's fast, and it's free. If you just want to get it over with, that's a smart thing to do. I had a household where there was two bartenders, and it was really useful to just have them make glasses of water and get it over with so the bar was available for the next one.
i like this kind of video
semaj makes a garden salad for the first time in his life the sims: A COOKING MASTER
James is fun.
That explains why I couldn't find the plumber aura lamps last week. 😅😅😅
You can still get those lights if you get the sims 3. I got some sims 3 games a few months ago and they were added to my game.
This Sim took "Fake it till you make it" to the extreme
Can we have a redo of this with university 😭 I love this
Creative skill to boost cooking
Semaj in his Hobbit era
Please do another video like this 😂
I know James doesn't do gameplay mods, but I found one that lets you set your Sims' work hours, and now I can't wait to try playing careers again. I like a challenge, I wouldn't adjust the late night hours you get early in a lot of careers, but it just gets so boring around level 5 when you stop working 5 days a week.
I didnt know that’s why i had my special plumbob lamp, i only had one or two expansions in the sims 3
