This is a feature from Growing Together that I think is kinda sweet: if you have a blended family say and mum marries a man with a child she can then click on that child once they have a good relationship and choose to "Adopt" the child. This isn't "Adopt as Caregiver;" it's a separate option and when you do this, the mum (or dad) will pull out a little note and read from it while sounding official and once done, the child will be added to the family tree as an official child of both sims. It's cute!
I’ve not finished the video yet but the “research genealogy” action *does* have the chance to spawn a cousin for your sim. You have to let them stay with you in order to have them actually part of the household. It’ll prompt a stay over and just be a slightly different version of your sim. It’s not every time though. Some games I’ve had it soon after one interaction, other times I’ve never got it even after 5 times so it’s definitely random. But you’d know pretty much right after you finish the interaction. I think it might help if you don’t spam it
Im pretty sure I got the call the first time I did it, but I was already pressing circle when it popped up so it went away and now it won’t come back no matter how many times I research 😭😪
Yeah randomly happened to me but I had no clue it was tied to doing the research on the computer. They were in the family tree too (cousins I think). My sim was a fresh sim out of CAS btw so he was my only family other than the wife.
07:25 And when another Sim swims close enough by the Sim who just has secretly relieved itself the other so will get an 'Uncomfortably warm' moodlet. No joke. 😂
That reminds me of the "listen to space woohoo" interaction you get on a computer if you have a computer on a lot with a rocket that is currently 'occupied'!
If your sim's bladder need is very low, you can force them to fart (usually takes a couple of times) and they'll shit themselves. There's even a special moodlet 😐
Pretty sure you'll know about it, but the ability to listen to space woohoo shocked me when it showed up as an option! If you have some sims woohoo in a rocket on a lot with a computer, another sim can click on the computer and listen. I don't know if it adds moodlets, I was too busy laughing at the possibility!
Did you know if you travel to oasis springs and go to a sandy lot..if you click on the ground you can draw in the sand? I just found that out yesterday while playing…your sims can draw a smily face and a star. :) (anyone can do this even just with basegame)
Playing with the child doctor set does work but you have to do it a lot at a child. Your sims will get a happy mood buff while they are working not only as a doctor but also running a vet clinic.
casual simmers may not know that you can splice for cowplant berries, summon the tragic clown, be a plant sim, upgrade tvs for alien channels, die in the get famous piranha pond, and burn money for fun!
I recently learned that if you click on a basketball hoop and choose "Dream Big" your Sim gains fitness skill at a faster rate. It's almost meteoric if they live in tier 1 or 2 tiny home.
The doctor toy does give a mood buff when you play as a doctor as an adult, I've defiantely seen it. But it pops up kind of at random? I wanna say while you're at work. I'm not sure you used the right toy, though, you used the doctor bear toy instead of the doctor baby, and I'm unsure if that one gives the mood buff or if that one gives the mood buff to a vet.
vacuuming toddler -> 4:00 mirror selfie -> 5:17 pee in pool -> 7:08 finding lost relative-> 8:46 and 15:06 book reading -> 9:34 cowplant dancing -> 10:40 dancing on top of bar -> 12:16 moodlet for playing w doctor toys and becoming a doctor -> 13:09 different colored umbrellas -> 14:04 and 15:29 mixology certificate -> 17:05 and 17:43
I saw that you can essentially spawn an urban myth (bloody Mary) in a mirror if you have high enough mischief. You do "summon urban myth" i think with another sim. The first time it scares the person you show, the second you. And the third time you die.
its actually a little different. you need to fail the interaction, which will give you a moodlet! after that, if you try again with the moodlet, you die :) its like a demented version of the cowplant!
Did you know about the siri speaker if you become friends with it it will order you pizza when you're hungry for free and if you need social it will tell you a joke
I had one (didn't realise it was interactable, thought it was just a regular stereo) but I eventually got rid of it because the kids would talk to it and then get mad that it didn't do as it was told
One thing I didn’t know until a week ago, was that you can unlock a grilled cheese aspiration. You have to eat 3 grilled cheese in a row and then you will gain it!! After completing a certain amount of things, you can talk to other sims about grilled cheese and eventually you can summon a grilled cheese whenever you want!! When I discovered that, I thought it was really cool!!
You can slide down ladders (the ones that go between floors, not pool ladders) instead of climbing down. You can clone people with the cloning machine from the science career. You can assemble those totem things from Jungle Adventure and use them to buff, transform, or kill sims, depending on what you combine. There are several ways to write songs, and if you release them, there's a chance your sim will hear them on the radio and get a buff.
Have you ever tried beetle juice in the sims 4? You need a insect farm with beetles [eco lifestyle, if I remember correctly] and level 10 in mixology You have to collect bettles [I don't remember how much] and with them you can create a Beetle juice [drink]. If you drink 3 in a raw you'll turn into a ghost.
It doesn’t happen all the time but after you research genealogy, you’ll get a text off a random sim saying they’re a long lost relative and they’ll ask if they can come and stay over
If you have the Eco Living pack (I think that's the one that comes with the bug boxes), your toddlers can take care of the bugs. They can feed and nurture them. It is....something else to watch your little toddler cuddling a grub. LOL
I feel like they tuned the long lost relative thing because it used to happen all the time when Growing Together was new but I haven't had it happen in ages. It's supposed to be a stayover event and it will create a cousin that looks like a clone of your sim. The sim who they're a clone of gets a tense "doppleganger" moodlet around them.
I don't know if covering this will get you a copyright strike, but a high skill level on the pipe organ will allow a Sim to play music that no other instrument has, including some awesome circus music.
Not sure if you've heard of this before, but someone told me that if you have an urn in a sim's inventory and then have them use the podium there's an option to give a eulogy sort of like a funeral type thing...haven't tried it yet, but if it's true that's pretty neat. I didn't know about the book reading one, that's something I'm going to start doing for my author sims. I did have my vampire sim research her geneaology just once, not long after I got a phone call from a distant relative who asked to stay over...looked quite similiar to my vampire's facial features, her traits were somewhat different and my vamp got the moodlet "Doppleganger?!" but then they became friends so guess she's not worried. A lot of actually interesting things you can do in The Sims 4...thanks for testing them out! Would love to see you make a series on this, trying out more things we didn't know we could do in game.
If you do a Part Two, one thing you could show is that: If you have a broken sink/toilet/tub leaving water puddles on the ground and you enter Build/Buy mode, you can use the swatch change tool to change the shape of the puddle on the ground. One of the shapes is a ducky, and it's very cute. I saw this recently on Tiktok, but it's the only mention I've seen of it, so I don't think it's very well known!
I just discovered recently that if your child has a partner in crime and you have them plan a certain prank, they will actually pull it in school and they'll get a moodlet and a pop up about how the prank went. I thought it was the cutest when I found out 😂
If you have snowy escape and place a shoe rack in your household you have the options for all sims in your house to wear shoes, slipper, or go barefoot. My personal favorite mood boosting hack to place an incense from the Spa Day pack and set the atmosphere.
My sims always just randomly pull out umbrellas. Either that, or they get an uncomfortable moodlet, but you can immediately get rid of it by clicking on them and choosing "change out of wet clothes". I didn't even know you could get an umbrella stand lol
Can confirm the doctor moodlet + you can also pee in the ocean. The dancing on top of the bar sounds weird. I just recently had one sim in a party stand on top of a picnic table but I believe it was just a bug 😂
The doctor set one definitely works. Not just for the Doctor career either, but if your sim becomes a vet you get a similar moodlet. You have to play with the set a lot as a child and attend an active workday to see the moodlet but I've done it.
SO ANOUT THE CERTIFICATE. It’s supposedly for every skill in the skills class after TEN classes, but there was a glitch for a really long time where no matter what skill it was, it gave a mixology one. But, again supposedly, that glitch was fixed!
I'm unsure if it's completely fixed or if I just got lucky, but I can confirm I got the correct one when I did cooking classes for that one master chef fire scenario
@@keyLimner I got it after attending ten, but I was leveling my cooking in various ways so I think it's set up so you get it when you would have mastered the skill by only attending classes
40 outfits, Yes, I give all my sims up to 30 outfits leaving the last slot open. Umbrella, Yes, I place on every lot that I play, But most of all I place it in the Dorms in Britechester/Foxbury cause Sims stand outside in the rain after class because they fail to return to the dorms. College Life at its best!
A few interesting interactions I've personally found: (I don't know what's known in the community so I'm just listing off ones that surprised me) If your mermaid sim comes across a cat, the cat will sniff you and have a fish tail thought bubble. So cats can potentially detect mermaids. Flower arrangements scented with the death flower if given as a gift will age up a sim. Killing elderly sims. Flower arrangements scented with a flirty emotional scent can be interacted with by sims "fill with passion" They essentially flirt with the plant. I assume it keeps it fresh longer but I'm not sure. When making drinks the quality of the drink will choose what cup it's put in. Higher quality drinks get a glass, while poor quality drinks gets a plastic cup. And vampires can refresh a plasma Jane drink. Even after it's been spoiled. They just shake it around a bit and it will change from spoiled to what ever the original quality was.
The long-lost relative situation has happened to my sims three or four times. The relative (cousin) randomly calls and asks to pay your sim a visit for a few days, if you agree, they show up on your doorstep with a suitcase. The relatives are basically clones of your sims, but with randomly generated outfits and traits.
wit the cats and dogs pack if you try for baby in the light house and get pregnant then when your child goes to the lighthouse they get a mood buff that says "something familiar"
One of the times my sim was contacted by a sim who said they were a long lost family member and they came to stay for a few days. Looked a bit like her as well but it seemed to just pop up, I don't think I had done anything to cause that.
for dancing on counter: you have to drink couple drinks, then click to a counter that have free space. I suppose it doesn't work on tables. But I know that it definitely works on counters. you have to try it! I hope you do a part 2 of this. love your videos!
The Doctor Career sentiment mood buff only happens once the sim reaches a certain point in the Doctor Career. I can’t remember which point though. I’ve only done it once, but it felt like at least a week in sims time, after doing all the effort for promotions. Two small things I’ve recently stumbled upon in my gameplay: 1. Infants can “wiggle to music” after they’ve reached the milestone where the can sit up on their own. It’s so adorable and I don’t understand why it’s not its own milestone. 2. Toddlers can break into locked doors. If you have a room locked please, have a toddler break in. The animation is hilarious.
Did you also know that in Cottage Living, if you drink obsidian milk, your sim gets the ability to do something called “evil glare”, where you click on any object and can automatically set it on fire?
The dreaming to be a doctor moodlet comes when your sim goes to work for the first time and I think they have to have a high character values for it to show
With the dancing on a bar thing they can go to a public bar lot and get juice from the tender and if there is a counter connected to the bar they can dance on that, found this out while playing around once 😂😂
for the mirror selfie you can cancel the 'freshen up' action and it will automatically take you to the picture mode. so you don't have to wait till the action is over and can cancel it when you get the right pose!
Don’t know if anyone else has said this yet, but you can also pee in the ocean if you have Island Living in The Sims 4! Also, I didn’t know about the book or mirror selfie!
I had a stay-over guest, who looked similar to my Sim, who apparently was a "long lost relative". It happened randomly though through the stay-over mechanism and independently from the genealogy research. It being the Sims 4 though, she did not appear in the Family tree (although, it could be because the Sim was Gen 1 and had no parents, siblings or the like, but I doubt it). I went into Full Edit CAS Mode and generated some parents, an aunt (identical twin to the mother) and made her a cousin. I deleted the parents and aunt, so she actually disappeared from the family tree again, but at least when you hover over her, it says cousin. Also, my Sim then had twins! I'd like to think because her mother had one (although briefly and through CAS), but it was probably a coincidence (but there were no lot traits, reward traits, moodlets or anything to increase the likelihood of twins, so the jury is still out.)
Let's make a drinking game to this video shall we? every time she says the world "apparently" take a sip... see you all passed out drunk after the video haha
This was a fun video idea! I didn’t know about the book reading thing. That’s cute! One of my legacy sims is an author I’m totally gonna make her have a book reading event
I feel like I've seen somewhere that you can dance with your cowplant, but i don't know if that was just the sim dancing next to it or if it was a legit interaction
As an aspiring writer, I wish either they just updated the writing process or, what’s more likely, get a mod that includes the many IRL hurdles to writing and publishing, imagine how crowded our libraries had every book ever written because they were all successfully published, irl there’s statistically about a 2% chance an agent takes on your manuscript (the quality of your novel greatly increase your chance of being in that percentage). Obviously in the sims it would be easier but I just wish it was more fun! Imagine if based on the different genres, pop ups could occur that provide buffs/debuffs for example: You’re favourite side character has caused a big plot hole on your narrative, if you keep writing as you are none of your story will make sense. What should you do?: 1.Write around side character. It will make sense I promise! (increase writing speed for this project, decrease in quality and chance of publishing, Decrease chance of higher advance and royalties) 2. Rewrite early sections so your character fits in correctly. (Decrease in writing speed for this project, increase in chance of publishing and higher advance and royalties )
I've got one, I've got one! You can change Sims feet sias in CAS. How's my mind when I accidentally clicked on a good and dragged and it started changing.
for me sometimes i get a random call that asks if they can come over and sometimes it ends up being a cousin of my sim (basically just my sim but randomized lol)
Vacuum toddlers?! Lol. I figured out that if you light one firework it will light the rest close by. My poor girl Kaley almost saw grim so glad I saw that last night literally!!
I have been watching your videos, and I must say they are very well done, funny, informative, and your voice is calm, not loud ,flying through the subject 😮😊😊just fun. Thank you for the opportunity to listen and watch.❤ I don't have Sims 4 not sure if it's worth it, I do have the original Sims first set and Sims 2 .Now, playing the phone free play, which is not fabulous but will try on Laptop.😊
If you get your sim to eat something hot/spicey like curry and their bladder is really low the toilet set on fire when they eventually go to relieve themselves
I used to always get an umbrella every time i started a new family. That was the obvious one to me. I also knew about the cow plant dancing. Lil Simsie did a video and her cow plant was dancing in the background lol. I like this video!
I’m still unsure if this was a mod I had or an actual feature, but I didn’t know that whilst playing at high school with the High School Years pack, there’s a random chance for a fire drill to happen
The doctor toy thing may not work, BUT!! I made one of my sims play with it, then when she started working she was immediately in level 3 of the doctors career!!
The genealogy one works, it doesn’t give you a buff or immediate notification but if it triggers then you get a pop up that says they tested their dna and they’re your long lost relative and want to stay over to get to know you, and if you a agree they come over for 4 days and if you look at their profile it says they’re your cousin!!!!!!
I have gotten the mood buff for the doctor career. I am not sure how many times I played with the toy first. I also think the geology piece only works for adopted Sims. I have seen that first hand.❤❤ Great video. ❤❤❤❤
if you have the snowy escape pack you can buy a shoe rack and click it to decide if your sim takes off their shoes when inside. also (same pack) you can click the stove(or maybe the fridge?) and decide if your sim uses a fork or chopsticks

Deciding to hire a mixologist when the dad's ONLY personality trait is spamming mixology was sort of hilariously cruel.
This is a feature from Growing Together that I think is kinda sweet: if you have a blended family say and mum marries a man with a child she can then click on that child once they have a good relationship and choose to "Adopt" the child. This isn't "Adopt as Caregiver;" it's a separate option and when you do this, the mum (or dad) will pull out a little note and read from it while sounding official and once done, the child will be added to the family tree as an official child of both sims. It's cute!
Plus you get a milestone saying they adopted the child! It’s really cute
oh my, this is so good!
Does this work if the child has an actual biological mother/father who’s not part of the household?
@@brunoandfaeI haven't tried it so I'm not sure.
@@brunoandfaeNo it doesn't. This is only for sims who are missing a parent.

Why did I IMMEDIATELY log on to try this 😅 I also love when my sim is scared (from a storm) & you can have a scared poop 😂😂😂

No way!! 😮

@@AnnetteBestwick And you can do the same Sulani. Never noticed drawing in the snow, though.

I just discovered recently that if your child has a partner in crime and you have them plan a certain prank, they will actually pull it in school and they'll get a moodlet and a pop up about how the prank went. I thought it was the cutest when I found out 😂
I've had it work and other times it didnt
Sometimes adults will do it at work, too.
If you have snowy escape and place a shoe rack in your household you have the options for all sims in your house to wear shoes, slipper, or go barefoot. My personal favorite mood boosting hack to place an incense from the Spa Day pack and set the atmosphere.
They actually updated this (the shoe options) to be a base game feature :)
Yeah i used the incense to set the atmosphere and then I had fires from it!
I thought everybody knew about the umbrella , it’s a big seasons feature 😭😭 what do yal use for yall sims when it rain?? 😭😭
My sims always just randomly pull out umbrellas. Either that, or they get an uncomfortable moodlet, but you can immediately get rid of it by clicking on them and choosing "change out of wet clothes".
I didn't even know you could get an umbrella stand lol
I think it might even say it in the loading screen tips.. do you guys not read them while you wait 12 hours for your game to load? 😭😂
i knew sims could get an umbrella but i had never known your could change its color lol
I just let them get wet and then go inside and change clothes 😂
I did not know about the book reading, good to know, most my Sims like writing.
Cleaning the Toddler with a vacuum just sounds so wrong 😂
Can confirm the doctor moodlet + you can also pee in the ocean. The dancing on top of the bar sounds weird. I just recently had one sim in a party stand on top of a picnic table but I believe it was just a bug 😂
The doctor set one definitely works. Not just for the Doctor career either, but if your sim becomes a vet you get a similar moodlet. You have to play with the set a lot as a child and attend an active workday to see the moodlet but I've done it.
SO ANOUT THE CERTIFICATE. It’s supposedly for every skill in the skills class after TEN classes, but there was a glitch for a really long time where no matter what skill it was, it gave a mixology one. But, again supposedly, that glitch was fixed!
And what does the certificate do?
Its just a certificate @@keyLimner
I'm unsure if it's completely fixed or if I just got lucky, but I can confirm I got the correct one when I did cooking classes for that one master chef fire scenario
@@echosbento How do you get it? By mastering the skill through the skill class? Or just mastering having attended a few classes? How does that work 🤔
@@keyLimner I got it after attending ten, but I was leveling my cooking in various ways so I think it's set up so you get it when you would have mastered the skill by only attending classes
40 outfits, Yes, I give all my sims up to 30 outfits leaving the last slot open. Umbrella, Yes, I place on every lot that I play, But most of all I place it in the Dorms in Britechester/Foxbury cause Sims stand outside in the rain after class because they fail to return to the dorms. College Life at its best!
A few interesting interactions I've personally found: (I don't know what's known in the community so I'm just listing off ones that surprised me)
If your mermaid sim comes across a cat, the cat will sniff you and have a fish tail thought bubble. So cats can potentially detect mermaids.
Flower arrangements scented with the death flower if given as a gift will age up a sim. Killing elderly sims.
Flower arrangements scented with a flirty emotional scent can be interacted with by sims "fill with passion"
They essentially flirt with the plant. I assume it keeps it fresh longer but I'm not sure.
When making drinks the quality of the drink will choose what cup it's put in.
Higher quality drinks get a glass, while poor quality drinks gets a plastic cup.
And vampires can refresh a plasma Jane drink. Even after it's been spoiled. They just shake it around a bit and it will change from spoiled to what ever the original quality was.
The long-lost relative situation has happened to my sims three or four times. The relative (cousin) randomly calls and asks to pay your sim a visit for a few days, if you agree, they show up on your doorstep with a suitcase.
The relatives are basically clones of your sims, but with randomly generated outfits and traits.
wit the cats and dogs pack if you try for baby in the light house and get pregnant then when your child goes to the lighthouse they get a mood buff that says "something familiar"
i could watch a hundred more episodes of sims mythbusters!
I've played the Sims for over twenty years and it's fabulous I'm still learning things about it!
One of the times my sim was contacted by a sim who said they were a long lost family member and they came to stay for a few days. Looked a bit like her as well but it seemed to just pop up, I don't think I had done anything to cause that.
I found out that if you click the icon of the need your sim needs to fill they will automatically start doing an activity to fill it!! Super useful!
I thought everyone knew about this. Very useful!
Oh that's a new one for me, I'll check it out
wow, I never knew that!
But a lot of times if you use that for sleep they will go nap instead... in a treehouse if you have one.
If your sim is a mom of toddlers, instead of putting herself to bed she might put the toddler to bed.
for dancing on counter: you have to drink couple drinks, then click to a counter that have free space. I suppose it doesn't work on tables. But I know that it definitely works on counters. you have to try it! I hope you do a part 2 of this. love your videos!
The Doctor Career sentiment mood buff only happens once the sim reaches a certain point in the Doctor Career. I can’t remember which point though. I’ve only done it once, but it felt like at least a week in sims time, after doing all the effort for promotions.
Two small things I’ve recently stumbled upon in my gameplay:
1. Infants can “wiggle to music” after they’ve reached the milestone where the can sit up on their own. It’s so adorable and I don’t understand why it’s not its own milestone.
2. Toddlers can break into locked doors. If you have a room locked please, have a toddler break in. The animation is hilarious.
It is a milestone, called "learned to dance" if you have growing together
I think the mixology certificate one was a glitch. It was only supposed to give a certificate after mastering the skill I could be wrong tho.
Ooh does an adopted sim get to find relatives with the research genealogy?
Did you also know that in Cottage Living, if you drink obsidian milk, your sim gets the ability to do something called “evil glare”, where you click on any object and can automatically set it on fire?
I got an aunt once randomly. She looked like my sim and came for a stay over.
"pee in pool" yes I would love that feature, we need more realism in game
Should be available as soon as the bladder need turn yellow...
NAAAAAAH THE COWPLANT DANCING IS SO ADORABLEEEEEE
The dreaming to be a doctor moodlet comes when your sim goes to work for the first time and I think they have to have a high character values for it to show
The outfits blew my mind and ive been playing for soooo many years 😂 wow.
The mixology certificate is ten classes. Also, the “became a doctor/became a vet” moodlet happens when the Sim is at work.
With the dancing on a bar thing they can go to a public bar lot and get juice from the tender and if there is a counter connected to the bar they can dance on that, found this out while playing around once 😂😂
Carla… you can mc command the weather change.
Yep, by clicking on the mailbox
for the mirror selfie you can cancel the 'freshen up' action and it will automatically take you to the picture mode. so you don't have to wait till the action is over and can cancel it when you get the right pose!
Something else people seem to not know is that if you drag on a sims back in CAS you can adjust their posture.
Don’t know if anyone else has said this yet, but you can also pee in the ocean if you have Island Living in The Sims 4! Also, I didn’t know about the book or mirror selfie!
I had a stay-over guest, who looked similar to my Sim, who apparently was a "long lost relative". It happened randomly though through the stay-over mechanism and independently from the genealogy research. It being the Sims 4 though, she did not appear in the Family tree (although, it could be because the Sim was Gen 1 and had no parents, siblings or the like, but I doubt it). I went into Full Edit CAS Mode and generated some parents, an aunt (identical twin to the mother) and made her a cousin. I deleted the parents and aunt, so she actually disappeared from the family tree again, but at least when you hover over her, it says cousin.
Also, my Sim then had twins! I'd like to think because her mother had one (although briefly and through CAS), but it was probably a coincidence (but there were no lot traits, reward traits, moodlets or anything to increase the likelihood of twins, so the jury is still out.)
Let's make a drinking game to this video shall we? every time she says the world "apparently" take a sip... see you all passed out drunk after the video haha
I have like 3 -5 outfits for each category for adults. 2 - 3 for kids ❤ I love seeing them switch through different outfits
Oh the shoe rack you can choose if the sims take off their shoes when they come in the house or not 😊
One time my sims were woohoing (in bed) and I swear she said "RIDE THE LLAMA!!" ... never heard it since although I tried.
Lol
This was a fun video idea! I didn’t know about the book reading thing. That’s cute! One of my legacy sims is an author I’m totally gonna make her have a book reading event
I feel like I've seen somewhere that you can dance with your cowplant, but i don't know if that was just the sim dancing next to it or if it was a legit interaction
I did not know about the different outfits. Currently playing the Sims while I watched and was floored. Thanks for sharing Karla!
As an aspiring writer, I wish either they just updated the writing process or, what’s more likely, get a mod that includes the many IRL hurdles to writing and publishing, imagine how crowded our libraries had every book ever written because they were all successfully published, irl there’s statistically about a 2% chance an agent takes on your manuscript (the quality of your novel greatly increase your chance of being in that percentage). Obviously in the sims it would be easier but I just wish it was more fun! Imagine if based on the different genres, pop ups could occur that provide buffs/debuffs for example: You’re favourite side character has caused a big plot hole on your narrative, if you keep writing as you are none of your story will make sense. What should you do?:
1.Write around side character. It will make sense I promise! (increase writing speed for this project, decrease in quality and chance of publishing, Decrease chance of higher advance and royalties)
2. Rewrite early sections so your character fits in correctly. (Decrease in writing speed for this project, increase in chance of publishing and higher advance and royalties )
Thank you - always fun to watch your videos!
Ohhhhh wow...LOVE the 5 outfits for all of the occasions! Thanks heaps :)
I've got one, I've got one!
You can change Sims feet sias in CAS. How's my mind when I accidentally clicked on a good and dragged and it started changing.
for me sometimes i get a random call that asks if they can come over and sometimes it ends up being a cousin of my sim (basically just my sim but randomized lol)
Vacuum toddlers?! Lol. I figured out that if you light one firework it will light the rest close by. My poor girl Kaley almost saw grim so glad I saw that last night literally!!
I have been watching your videos, and I must say they are very well done, funny, informative, and your voice is calm, not loud ,flying through the subject 😮😊😊just fun. Thank you for the opportunity to listen and watch.❤
I don't have Sims 4 not sure if it's worth it, I do have the original Sims first set and Sims 2 .Now, playing the phone free play, which is not fabulous but will try on Laptop.😊
If you get your sim to eat something hot/spicey like curry and their bladder is really low the toilet set on fire when they eventually go to relieve themselves
I get SO excited when I see a new video from you!! Thank you✨💜
I noticed last week that on the computer, you sims can learn sign language, and I believe it came with For Rent.
That is a mod. Its the adeepindigo healthcare redux one
I used to always get an umbrella every time i started a new family. That was the obvious one to me. I also knew about the cow plant dancing. Lil Simsie did a video and her cow plant was dancing in the background lol. I like this video!
I didn’t know about the 5 outfits for the sims, thank you.
I’m still unsure if this was a mod I had or an actual feature, but I didn’t know that whilst playing at high school with the High School Years pack, there’s a random chance for a fire drill to happen
It's an actual feature. (:
I really enjoy these kind of videos. Im always searching for sims tricks
There are sharks swimming at Sulani on a night. Its a death, and if you d!e, you get a floating urn in a life ring that bobs about!
I didn't know that. Such a creepy Jaws reference lol
You also (I think) if you drown in the like sulani water you get the same urn!
The doctor toy thing may not work, BUT!! I made one of my sims play with it, then when she started working she was immediately in level 3 of the doctors career!!
The genealogy one works, it doesn’t give you a buff or immediate notification but if it triggers then you get a pop up that says they tested their dna and they’re your long lost relative and want to stay over to get to know you, and if you a agree they come over for 4 days and if you look at their profile it says they’re your cousin!!!!!!
One of my favorite yt clips! Will test them as well! But did knew umbrella. Hope to see more tests soon!
You get a certificate when you’ve mastered the skill
cant wait for the next teen mum vid!! ♥♥♥
How did I not know about the 40 outfits?! What a blessing you are 🥹
"i'm not gonna kill you don't worry" actually made me laugh if i was that sim i'd be so scared
I have gotten the mood buff for the doctor career. I am not sure how many times I played with the toy first. I also think the geology piece only works for adopted Sims. I have seen that first hand.❤❤ Great video. ❤❤❤❤
I loved watching the cow plant and the simple from simple living pack. So cute 😍 💓
I love your humor 😂💚
Thank you for this video! 😀🌸🌸🌸
Do you ever share your sims on the gallery? This family is so cute
I wonder if the bar thing is real or not, I SUMMON THE SIMS NERDS
I mean there’s a mod for it. It’s from ts2
Omg that last outfit one is a game changer! Been playing for years and never knew!
Thanks for the heads up about the outfits! I’m ecstatic!!!
I did NOT know you could choose 5 outfits for each category!!!!! THANK YOU!!! :)
if you have the snowy escape pack you can buy a shoe rack and click it to decide if your sim takes off their shoes when inside. also (same pack) you can click the stove(or maybe the fridge?) and decide if your sim uses a fork or chopsticks
Wait one more day, the certificate might show up in the mail.
