I love how he killed Mortimer just as a passtime, he didn't even use the points to get the connections trait or anything 😄
The poetic irony of James completing the grilled cheese aspiration by literally letting Mortimer starve to death.
I was wondering when he was going to put a plate of grilled cheese on the ground in front of the door.
This made me wheeze so hard
Mortimer: "I really should get going"
James: "Yeah good luck with that."
had me dying lmaoo
It had him dying as well haha 🤪
had mort dyin too
had mortimer dying as well
@@shannonhughes8488 dammit yall were first
When?
James’s phase of the day “ it’s not cheating if it’s in the game”
He got this phrase from his friend dr gluon who has a song about this.
🎶cabinets🐝
@@momahl114 a song?! 😮 How did I not know that!
@@momahl114 where can I find this song
@@birdblackbird4766 dr gluon on twitch
Perhaps but cheat codes are also programed into the game.
James is always creating new and entertaining content even when the community is so fed up with the game. He makes me excited to play even if my game crashes
Dr Gluon is the most creative simmer, and I'm glad him and James are friends
I second the recommendation for Dr. Gluon if you like James. They both bring me joy :)
100% agree. James is awesome.
Seems like hes good at torturing himself tbh lol
@@Katielovegood44 it's just a bit of fun.
I did this challenge with Get Together. I created a club and made them paint 24/7. Since my club members’ skills increased, the quality of their paintings increased as well.
Would be so fun to see him try this scenario but "only relying on things other people make" and then like forming clubs to do painting, writing, cooking and getting the club members to make all the money - he can't sell anything he makes.
At one point in this video I thought that James should set up a gardening club to get other people to help out, but then I remembered he was only using base game.
That's so smart
That is so smart!!
Sims team: “we gave them like seven scenarios, if they don’t cheat that should give them a lot of game play time”.
Simmers: *completes everything in four and a half hour*
James walking around like “Hey have you heard about our lord and savior Cheesus Crust?”
Excuse me Miss, have you heard about the gouda news?
grilled cheesus
Ugh, Gorgonzola’s Witnesses
"Is fishing fun ?" 😄
Every time James asks this question it makes me laugh
Yes, and it's only fun because it's outside lol
Same
Classic 😂
We need a merch shirt that says that
@@LauraCraycraft YES!
What about earning 1,000,000 simoleons as a CHILD SIM?!?! I feel like that would be a fun challenge bc of all the limitations
This is GENIUS XD
This has Plumbella written all over it. The more stressful the more fun! Lol
that's such a good idea!
The only issue might be that I don’t think children can live on their own. Teens can tho!
@@BeanCocoa101 Father goes in the basement.
I haven’t played the sims in months but you bet your ass I’m gonna watch every single video James uploads 😅
Samee!
Yep
he is literally making my past time content now
I havent played in over a year- but I am forever a fan of him and deli
Same ✌️
The flower sell price isnt exactly a bug, any plants that end up in household inventory sell for perfect quality price. So you were just getting the benefits of having evolved (which you cant do until later levels) all of the lillies but without the skill LOL - creative workaround, not cheating
tbh couldn't the gardener have evolved the plants? i never hire em so idk
James saying "aphrocheeseiac" exactly as I was thinking it made me laugh. I can't blame the neighbors for being enticed by this mysterious man sleeping in a cot on his lawn that walks around in a constant cloud of cheese aroma.
The camping bed can go in your sim‘s inventory, so you can take it along when wandering the world. It‘s maybe a little more comfortable than the bench.
I was thinking the tent too, but thats from outdoor adventure right?
@@troebeliewoep Yes or Awwbatuu and Snowy Escape. For the longest time, I thought the single camping bed was from Outdoor Retreat too, but fortunately it‘s the bg take-along-option. =)
Unfortunately he can't use it since he's using base game
@@francescacicognani3589 I meant the camping bed in the video, the Gordian Cot, which is base game and can be put in your inventory like the outdoor furniture.
@@anska7475 Ohhh I'm not OP but I never noticed that. Thanks! :D
"Is fishing fun?"
Max Power crying in some forgotten save!
Starting your sim with the collector aspiration is also helpful when relying on collectables for simoleons! You get more rare/uncommon items, it doesn’t require skills, and the reward trait is worthwhile
I’m just picturing Mortimer standing there trapped, texting Bella constantly with updates about how long he’s been stuck there. He keeps taking out his phone until he dies.
I'm having so much fun watching this series of trying the scenarios and James challenging himself! I love that we can tell James is having fun with it, too. I remember when you took a break after being burned out with the Sims. You're doing awesome, James!! Thanks so much for the fun videos!!!
Anytime James starts these challenges I wonder why he doesn't choose nature aspiration which gives you better loot for collectibles. I don't have many pacjks but I believe it gives you better items from dumpster diving as well.
For collectibles, nature aspiration + geek trait. Nature aspiration doesn't help for dumpster diving, but freegan trait does.
I don't think you can dumpster dive in base game
yeah, exactly, that aspiration doesn't need any skills, it gives you 2 fossils/metals/crystals from the dig site and 2 mysims collectibles from the box. and once you finish it you can sell the fossils/metals.crystals and space collectibles for more. i did this challange with the collector aspo but with the get to work pack through the scientist career. because one, you don't need any skills to get to the top of that career. two once you're done with the daily tasks you can dig up a decent amount collectibles for yourself.
Maybe because you need to complete a collection at some point, and it can take too much time if you're unlucky
@@totakluska he doesn't need to complete that aspiration, just get that sweet trait, and then he could change to any other.
Waiting for James to put it on the collector aspiration….
lol omg same! I was so frustrated watching him NOT choose that aspiration when he was basically completing it anyway haha
Finally a let’s play I can relate to: trying to get money without any skill 😅
LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right? I am taking notes !
imagine a semaj mansion filled with all the semajes from these money/skill/scenario challenges! each semaj could have his own wing inspired by how he made money/the scenario he completed
It’s probably been mentioned before, but it would be cool if James and Deligracy did a let’s play together where maybe they take turns on the different parts of a save file and they have to deal with whatever the other person did in the game previously. They get to change up the story how they want in their parts so it could be either very chaotic or follow a more clear trajectory. :)
James, you really need to change his default aspiration to collector. He gets the reward for finding rare items, and you get double from digging. Also you get aspiration points without needing skills.
“Is fishing fun?” I’ve only heard this a million times and it never gets old 🤣
Love these chalenges! Quick thing- Use your vacation days and then quit to get some extra money.
I'm currently rewatching the Max Power Super Sim challenge in its entirety . Hearing you ask the eternal question "Is fishing fun?" in homage to that series made me respect the way you've been doing this for so many years yet still find ways to keep it fresh and fun and interesting. Thanks for all the great content, James. Your style of gameplay has relaxed a little bit and your voice has grown deeper, but the creativity has only gotten better.
4:58 Bella was trying to put the fruitcake on a surface like a table, and putting it back in her inventory when she couldn't find one. It might be worth buying a cheep side table for her to put the fruitcake down and then selling it when the welcome wagon is over.
It was killing me that he didn't know there are lilies on this lot.
This is what I needed today. Thank you James for cheering me up. I don't care if it's a short lp or long one as long as you have fun with it.
"Anyone been barbecuing for me?"
How to be the most annoying neighbor ever.
The cow plant sells for about three times as much if you plant and grow it first
6:04 The lot you've chosen is right next to a community garden with lots of expensive plants. You can get roses and lilies as soon as they have time to grow.
5:20 the off the grid challenge might have helped you because it reduces bills, and you just have to collect water from fishing spots and use candles for lights. All the cheapest basegame plumbing is tagged with functional off grid and will work as long as you collect water.
Little tip for this challenge. Creating a sim through that quiz thing in CAS can give you skills. they do not reset to 0 when the challenge starts.
Only if you immediately place them, though. It'll remove the skills of a sim from your library. Edit: Or at least it did last time I tried it... but this time it worked. Ah, totally a bug-free game...
@@FirebladesSongold comment but why are you even doing a challenge if you're cheating with skills? Point is to have none.
@@xFukairix Starting with a little cooking doesn't do anything for earning money but does help keep your sim alive. That's about the only skill I wanted to start with. It's still challenging.
@@FirebladesSong the whole point of the challenge is to not have any, so starting fires while making Mac and cheese is part of the challenge. Play how you wanna play, I just don't get it
Using the connections reward trait and jumping from career to career might be worth it. You can sell the career rewards you unlock.
i love watching you do these scenario challenges. FYI, a cowberry sells for $180 (around that) when sold from personal inventory. But if you plant one, you can sell the planted cowberry in Build mode for $475. :)
You can do the same “put the plant in your inventory and get way more money than you should” trick with the money tree 👀
Its been so long since we've heard James ask "Is fishing fun?" I kinda missed it lol.
James wearing Deli’s merch is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 🥺💜
Right???
I was going to comment something about that but I decided someone else HAD to have already 🤣
yess
Every time I do the Grilled Cheese 🧀 aspiration I go around asking if "they've heard the good news about the grilled cheese."
It's nice to know I'm not the only one that does it lol
I tend to find Grim at like 3 am at bars for some reason.
I imagine Grim needs to unwind after a full day of reaping souls. He usually bakes, but sometimes a glass or two of nectar hits the spot!
truly vintage thesimsupply vibes with "is fishing fun?"
There is something so enjoyable about watching James play with a sim with no house and just like stuff on a lot idk why it’s just so entertaining
The slob trait might be something to consider next time. Sims with that trait are happy to eat spoiled food. It invaluable early on in rags to riches. It really only becomes annoying once they actually have a house
Slobs can also pee in the shower so you don't need to buy a toilet
James’ consistent originality and notable effort he puts into his videos is so seen and so appreciated.
I saved up 1k and went to the jungle for a few days. Came home and sold the stuff on the market table. The plates and frogs sell for 30-40k at 300% markup. You don't need any skills to do it, just stock up on all the preventive stuff at the vendors (spider spray, bat bait ect) and prepare to get electrocuted a time or two while figuring out the temple traps.
Rags to riches is definitely my favorite gameplay! These get rich quick ones are so much fun to watch!
When you collect so many things you might as well pick the collector aspiration, that will get you points without needing skills tool. And when you finish it you can sell the collectables for more money.
Personally, I like the concept of "it's not cheating if it's in the game", the bugs/glitches/whatever are funny to watch!
I take this approach also. Else why would it be in the game? If it's in the game anything goes as far as I'm concerned
I dont play with the scenarios but im so thankful for them because its brought us so much great content from you.
FYI....if you go to the romance festival and uproot the flowers (after picking them of course), they re-spawn into different seasonal flowers....so you can endlessly pick flowers until the festival ends.
Not base game
I did not know that. Thanks for the tip.
I didn't know that! Very handy for out of season flowers if you've got City Living and Seasons installed. Uproot anything useless and go at it, I guess!
I was thinking a similar thing about the rocket, go to Geek Con, then I realised he was playing with base game only. Darn. I've taken having City Living for granted.
Would suggest Glutton as a trait for the ability to eat food out of the trash.
It's Freegan then
Challenge idea: Revisit the Super Sim Challenge.
I know there's over 100 videoes of it, but it's my favorite challenge of yours, and there are many new aspirations, skills and careers since last time, and new ways to boost your skill (like tiny builds). Don't worry, this content is still entertaining to watch.
This
I love these kind of videos. How about you do the 1million challenge with the base game + 1 EP at the time and then compare which EP got you to the goal quickest?
Also just remembered, I would choose the curator aspiration in the beginning, with that you are more likely to find rare collectibles.
I lost it when James started talking about the cheese scent being an aphrodisiac lmao
This scenario took me so long making stuff & low level jobs but I found a millionaire mermaid & married for money 😂 can’t wait to see how James does it!
mermaid with no packs?
@@mrlnxf8455 in my game I had packs installed. Without them it would be even harder lol!
hold up millionaire mermaid?? which one is it?
@@taypo13 Probably a lottery winner.
@@taypo13 It was Paka'a Uha in Sulani. Idk if he normally has a million simoleons but homie had cash
Wassup early ganggggg!!!!!
WOOOO
You should choose the glutton trait because then your sim can eat spoiled food w/o getting sick. Also, clearing the notification wall always seemed to help the lag for me!
james!! i was having a bad day and was literally thinking, "i wish james uploads today". this has clearly made my day. thanks a lot...
Always finding ways to entertain us even though a lot of us are fed up. Thanks!
Love the challenge videos, James is so creative with them. I love the grind in Sims 4 so they always give me ideas. I had no idea about the hidden aspiration! This is why I watch let's plays.
Thank you so much, James for these challenges! your ideas make us want to play again even when we are all getting fed up with the EA and the way the game is lagging so much these days 😊😊😊
I mean... who's to say what is truly the way the game is meant to function and what is a bug? I saw only great game play here today 😌
The rocket ship is only bugged if you have Cottage Living installed.
And for players able to use mods there is a fix.
Yessssss! I requested this so excited!!
Edit: This was so much fun. Take a shot every time James says "it's not cheating if it's in the game"
17:54 the mood swings semaj was going through 😭
I know this is a year old but it makes me feel A LOT BETTER seeing his game with low FPS at just base game. It's just a game issue, not necessarily a my dying-pc issue and that's really nice for once 😭
James, you have such a way of making mundane things look so much fun. I always garden when trying to make money without cheats but this was is so OP. I LOVE IT!!
”is fishing fun?”
*ahhh my heart
I'm loving these scenarios but I do have a suggestion. It's a variation of Deli's Lucky dumpster challenge combined with a shell challenge and every lot challenge. With the sharing is caring NAP turned on.
You would look in the dumpster for furniture while trying to furnish someone's shell. Sharing is caring would take it to another level and it could maybe be turned off if you reach a certain goal. Every lot challenge could be included to make it extra hard!
Or any combination you like. It could be the opposite of dream home decorating. Could Sims survive on trashy items while Eliza Pancakes steals their last sink?
I'm currently doing a variation of pinstar's apocalypse challenge so I have been finding it fun to watch sims struggle.
You would need seasons, but you could try making everyday Winterfest/Harvestfest and get gifts from the present pile and father winter and sell it! With harvestfest the gnomes that pop up give you seed packets and you can sell the gnomes for money!
I forgot how empty base game is.. I miss it when the sims was a game what you didn't have to buy every pack for basic things we had in others. Where additional games was a wants not needs 🤦♀️
I don't think that was ever a thing. I came back to Sims 1 and 2 recently, and without expansions it was... tough.
I do think that expansions, even on Sims 3, used to be way more substantial; Right now it feels like you have to keep dumping more and more money for several expansions that acomplish what a single expansion used to do in past games.
People always talk about how Sims 4 released without even having pools, but I'm almost certain the first release of Sims 3 didn't have it either.
@@sol_in.victus im almost certain it did release with pools, it just didnt have diving boards...
@@sol_in.victus ok yeah if you watch the 2009 trailers there are definitely pools
@@1BamAndTheDirtIsGone oh really? I guess my memory failed me there :p
I feel like my point still stands, I just think we let the nostalgia and our good memories affect how we see it but realistically none of the Sims games felt really "complete" without expansions (at least imo)
@@sol_in.victus yeah but I feel like the difference is you got way more content in expansions in the past game. I mean there are double the amount of dlc in sims 4 compared to sims 3. Sims 3 expansions were so full and gave us so much to do, some of my favorites were generations, ambitions, etc. Sims 4 just milks the fanbase and splits content up between expansion, game packs, stuff packs and kits...
I love these so much, i have been doing them along with you. Super frustrating but fun.
I’m in love with these challenges from James! He is so creative! I also love that he is wearing delis mercy jumper
Always plant the cowberry and then sell it in build and buy at once for 450, I think it is.
Also, if you do this challenge with Magnolia Promenade, you can easily fish a bunch of dragon fruits from the little harbour.
Closing the Origin client and playing offline has helped me with lag. Try it James!
Yes, it stops it trying to poll the gallery which I think helps reduce lag
I just love your videos, so much fun to watch!!
That was pretty bonkers! I really love watching you figure these things out
The absolute best Sims youtuber ever. Your videos are a huge comfort for me
This challenge seems really hard😅 Love the video!
I'm playing this challenge right now running a restaurant, but I'm not trying to play it super fast. Normally when I play, I really focus on maxing out their skills and this challenge has made me appreciate more of the story telling aspect of the game.
i’m loving the titles are thumbnails recently they’re actually standing out to me great work i love your videos ❤
This was hilarious 😆 made my day! James's laugh caches
Loving this series from James.
“It’s not cheating if it’s in the game!” Is so real with the Sims
"Hey man, did you hear about grilled cheese?" LoL it made me smile every time he said that...he is fun to listen to.
"Is fishing fun?" swear he asks this every time he starts a new rags to riches series XD
I started my legacy with a gardener sim and quickly realized how fast you can get money with it. I quickly abandoned gardening for food and made a huge orchid and dragonfuit farm. I'm on generation 4 and they have over 6 million and no one has to ever get a job.
Escape trick to fix framerate works 90% of the time, but you have to wait a little, it's not instant.
Also, loved the trick at the end, totally NOT gonna use to get a billion.
Love the dedication with the lilies in the end
This was awesome to watch!! Love it!
You can use the pond tool and stick it with fish you have caught in the past so then you can fish for expressive fish on your home lot.
Please dont stop on these challenges 🤣
So I kind of have a funny story about starving a sim. So the first sim I ever made in my first save file was very dear to me and I wanted to keep them around as long as possible. It was my first ever sims game tho so I thought that moving sims out meant letting go of them forever so all the kids still lived at home. But because my sim was Active they were always autonomously going on runs and working out and becoming dangerously exhausted. Looking back I actually think it must’ve been a bug or something because the sim NEVER STOPPED RUNNING. I got VERY sick of them. But I still didn’t want to move anybody out. So I decided it was time for the sim to die because they were too annoying. But I had auto-aging paused and I didn’t want to turn it on because I was afraid everyone would immediately die because I had been playing with them for so long.
So I decided to kill my first sim.
I didn’t want to ACTIVELY harm them tho cause that felt too cruel. ;(
I locked them in the home gym and waited for them starve to death.
I HUGELY regretted it immediately after they died. I made their spouse take up the gardening and cooking skills (from lvl 0) and mastered them in order to cook ambrosia and bring them back to life. It took forever, but I did it, and made a TON of money gardening so that was nice.
Once my sim was revived tho they were still ANNOYING AS HELL
I didn’t want to kill them again so I ended up moving the kids out and continuing with them after a long time of emotionally preparing myself to let go of my first sim couple.
It’s still my main save file and I haven’t killed anyone since.
Funnily enough, in sims3 console of you moved out a sim they would be deleted from your gamd
I did this, this was a fun challenge. I used Get Together, started a painting club, had the club come over ever day to paint and then I'd sell their artwork. The club progressed in skills so the paintings got more expensive.
Haven't watched yet, but wanted to say Good Luck with this one lol. Now that I've watched Great job Semaj. Tks for the new way of gardening tip James, my Sims are gonna be sooo rich now 😁
i love that he did the grilled cheese aspiration because it needs no skill instead of the romance ones
I'm doing the 1,000,000 simoleans challenge and I have hired a gardener to help take care of my very expansive garden (I am skill leveling up though).
There's also public gardens that you can check for fruits and plants you wouldn't get otherwise.
Grapes and strawberries are the highest yielding fruits I've discovered so far. Lilies and roses highest yielding flowers (when you sell). And if you go in build mode and sell the plants, the fruits/flowers go into house inventory (I do play on PS4 though, dunno if this works on computer).
“Maybe they’re flirty because I have an odour of cheese about me” made me cackle 🤣🤣
JAMES!!! You my friend are a genius! 😂 I love these videos.
