I wish we could just add gifts under the tree, assigning them to the others and then everyone opens gifts together...like in real life lol. It takes 17 hours to hand them all out!
I am treating this series of yours like it's a weekly Netflix release lol Not sure if you worked this out yet or if I missed something... Folke and Lassie's relationship is probably going down due to MC Woohoo. If you make Woohoo a skill and they aren't good at it then it can negatively impact relationships between partners. It can also help relationship gain if the skill is high. You can turn it off in the MC Woohoo specific settings.
Thank you - I did end up turning it off (I think sometime during part 2) but I am not sure if that fixed the problem or not. I still have to play test it. They were having good woohoo and it was still doing it and I am not sure if that is normal or not.
if you have high school years you might want to check if they have social bunny active. if it is and your sims have an account relationships values go up and down randomly due to the game creating messages. there might be a setting in the options to turn it off as well, but going on their phones and clicking "deactivate social bunny" under the social tab should hopefully do just fine 🤞🏾
i really really love your lp videos!! im kinda tired of the sims 4 and sims 4 content but when i watch your videos its like its something new and im so glad i found your channel 😭😭❤ english is not my first language so idk if theres something wrong but i just wanted to say how much im in love with this series ☹❤
I’m quite late so I don’t know if you already did this but I’d suggest putting something in front of the fridge and stove so the sims can’t route to it and then you don’t risk them cooking unless you tell them to. It’s pain cos it will mean having to move it out of the way every time. Or put the fridge behind a door and lock it for everyone
Love your videos and this challenge!! One idea-something I totally forgot was a thing you could was edit the different tasks that you can do for each holiday! Like for winter fest, I have my sims attend a religious ceremony and I also got rid of the lighting a tree thing because trees are so big haha. Anyway, maybe there’s opportunity to make some historical accurate-ish holidays in the future!
Do you have the woohoo skill enabled? Poor woohoo lowers the relationships. Your game also might just be buggy, wouldn't be unheard of. I love the series, it's so exciting and different ❤
Hey thanks, I did - I disabled it, I think in part 2, but I have not play tested enough to see if that worked. They were losing relationship even when they both thought the woohoo was good but I disabled it anyway just in case.
UA-cam recommended your videos to me and this was how I found out about the challenge and now I'm completely hooked! Thank you! I played the famine today and lost 5/10 Sims 😢 Excited to see what happened in your game. Just started the video 😊
I am so sorry to hear you lost half of your sims :( I didn't even expect to have this many sims alive by the time we got to the famine but we've been incredibly lucky in this let's play!
@@Chic87Sims at least my heir and his wife survived. And my favorite gen 2 girl survived, too. So it's okay, I guess. And it's not too bad to have less households to handle 😅 The challenge is so addicting!
@@emmelineskee It really is addicting! The Not So Berry challenge is the only challenge I have ever played to completion but I can see myself playing this one through all the way too!
You can add more sims into a full house by having them visit and then shift-chick add to the family. You just can't do it through the normal game mechanic. I know there is a mod that you can use to get the tombstone so long as the sim made a ghost which Edgar seems to have done. But I've never had a ghost infant before so I don't know if you can summon an infant ghost to the house or if they can visit since they can't walk. I also can't remember which mod does it. Looking at what I have now it might be ChippedSims Graveyard mod but I'm not sure
I always use MCC Command center, mcc woohoo, wonderful whims, and UI cheat extension. The UI cheat extension allows you to click on needs and move them wherever you want, and you can right click on emotions and stuff and take them off. You can also right click on relationships and set the values for friendship and romance. I might suggest downloading that. It's super helpful. 👌. The only way to get them to not keep making food is to take away their stove, or click off autonomy for everyone. Also make sure you go to game options and turn off the gamepack stuff. Any of the modern stuff should just be disabled.
@S T. I wasn't saying to cheat but when things get all screwed up like last episode or the emotion icon effect them for things like prom, or other things that don't fit the theme she could get rid of them.
I can't guarantee this will work on all cc objects but.. I use LittleMsSams Personal Objects mod combined with her "No Auto Food Grab" mod to help ensure that only the primary female / mother of the household can access the fridge or stove. Even for quick meals. When this is in effect no one can eat or prepare anything except the one designated sim. Works great for historical saves!
If you have MC Command Center and MC Woohoo, make sure woohoo skill is off. I am not 100% sure if that is what was wrong but I did end up disabling it at some point in this episode. I need to play test more to see if that fixed it or not.
You could turn autonomy off. I am now planning on doing this challenge and I turn autonomy off while I have babies, infants and toddlers and plan to turn autonomy off during the famine.
If you have MCCC the relationship does that if the Woohoo skill isn't high. I up that and Romance right away. Or they will hate each other (Lumpinou mod for Romance).
Ik this is way too late to make a difference for this famine, but if there’s another one in the future and you’re still having trouble keeping people from eating, you can try putting a door on the kitchen and locking it for all sims until it’s time to eat
Thank you! I did end up eventually locking the fridge up because they wouldn't stop making grilled cheese and mac n cheese lol But I didn't do it during the famine because I'm silly :)
I've been doing this challenge and am nearly at the plague part and I think I've been doing the dowry bit wrong. I thought the brides family received the dowry from the grooms family🤦🏻♀️ I've struggled with money on this challenge when i didn't need to.
Aw - I almost made the same mistake when I was looking at options for Folke - I was thinking, "we can't afford Caithe" then it dawned on me that we don't have to pay a dowry to marry, we just can't marry her because she's too high class lol I think it's easy to get that mixed up because someone else has also commented similar previously.
Isn't there a conflict between MC pregnancy settings for risky and fertility stuff with the RPO mod? I think Lumpinou had a caveat about it, at least on the earliest descriptions of their mod.
Yes it would - you can only allow one to handle fertilty/risky woohoo etc. I am only using some of the modules from RPO so that there are no conflicts. :)
@@Chic87Sims ah, pkay. I was wondering if you had them both active and if that was causing or adding to the relationship tanking. It was a long shot, but mod conflicts can do so many things that seem entirely unrelated to the mod function!
so the thing with not getting my sims married i also struggeld with since i also play this challange turns out it was the arrange married mod that caused the problems so migth want to remove it if you have it in your game :)
Thanks! I am using the mod but I removed that module when I installed it. I think it is fixed now by turning off the woohoo skill in MC Command Center :)
The relationship between Folke and Lassie could be lowering down due to the negative sentiment about not being invited to prom. Happened on my gameplay and I had to use a cheat to delete it. The sims team should really fix that because it’s very annoying.
Lassies orientation is set to mess around - That might be why theyre losing romance/couldn't marry? Did you manually rename holidays or is there a mod which does this? I am so sick of simlish holidays 😂
I manually redid the holidays. As of now, still haven't figured out what is causing all the weird relationship things. It seems like it's doing it to every couple. I have to play test after removing the arranged marriage mod and see if that fixes either one of those issues.
Thank you for sharing! I have the MC Command Center mod and have teens as a valid marriage age using that mod, so theoretically, the teens should be able to get married. I am not sure why it's not working but MCCC is a massive mod with a lot of settings so it's possible I am missing something. There is also a settling allows them to do "woohoo" and try for baby instead of just mess around.
@@Chic87Sims I use MCCC too and know how complicated it can be. I especially hate that there's 3 places to mess with settings (sim, computer and letterbox) it's kinda confusing 😕
@@Chic87Sims I remember you need to go to the mccc settings on the computer and go Mccc/mc woohoo/woohoo pregnancy/allow teen And for playable births in side households you go and activate it under mccc/mc pregnancy/other pregnancy/pause on playable labor
@@Chic87Sims oh and I uploaded my sim. I gave her a bit of backstory but apparently enslaved isn’t allowed, I was going on historically about how in the 1300s she’d be free but 1400s on she probably wouldn’t be. She like me is Afro-Romanian “Gypsie “. She technically could be enslaved as the Roma slave trade was starting up then. But I’d like to think she is either traveling with her family or is a merchant or something. If you want to use her later on during the African slave trade that’s fine too. But I’d request she be a rebellious slave as I would’ve been.
Man been married for a day and his marriage is already on the brink of divorce.
“WHY ARE YOU COOKING!? And let me guess something with cheese!?” HAHAHAHAHAHA
I would lock the doors to the kitchen stopping everyone from making and grabbing food without your permission.
You should lock the kitchen Doors.
I wish we could just add gifts under the tree, assigning them to the others and then everyone opens gifts together...like in real life lol. It takes 17 hours to hand them all out!
This is a good one to add to my mile long wishlist of things I want in the sims! LOL

I wish I would have known about that mod for the famine! lol
could you put something in front of the pantry or fridge or put it in inventory and bring it out as needed ?
I've been having the same issue with the couples relationship decreasing drastically in my game as well; maybe some sort of bug.
If you have MC Command Center and MC Woohoo, make sure woohoo skill is off. I am not 100% sure if that is what was wrong but I did end up disabling it at some point in this episode. I need to play test more to see if that fixed it or not.
@@Chic87Sims ok, I’ll definitely try that, thank you :)
I think you can disable reactions to teen pregnancy in the rpo mod settings
Great, thanks!
You could turn autonomy off. I am now planning on doing this challenge and I turn autonomy off while I have babies, infants and toddlers and plan to turn autonomy off during the famine.
It's a good idea but with the size of household we currently have I would probably lose my mind doing that too.
@@Chic87Sims Fair enough.
This may be a sore spot for you right now, but every time you say "omg they're eating all my cheese" I can't stop laughing.
lol it's a whole thing now and just wouldn't be this let's play without the cheese issue.
If you have MCCC the relationship does that if the Woohoo skill isn't high. I up that and Romance right away. Or they will hate each other (Lumpinou mod for Romance).
I have been dealing with this same Woohooing bug with my sims - every time they woohoo they lose relationship and I have NO CLUE how to fix it!
Ugh. It's really not great. I suppose we can formulate a story around it but I don't want all my sims to be in miserable relationships! LOL
Is it because of the paranoid trait? I mean about the relationship with Folke and his wife😅
Could have something to do with it!
Did you try going to CAS full edit mode and changing their relationship to husband/wife?
I did not - I was assuming it wouldn't let me since they're teens.
@@Chic87Sims oh yeah, good point LOL
Do you have the more personality please mod in your game? I’ve had extreme relationship changes with that mod in the past.
I don't but I probably should given how dull some of these sim's personalities are lol Not naming any names, but...
Ik this is way too late to make a difference for this famine, but if there’s another one in the future and you’re still having trouble keeping people from eating, you can try putting a door on the kitchen and locking it for all sims until it’s time to eat

Maybe to take an extra measure so they don't cook or eat make a club. Make those activities banned. Then when its time to eat end club gathering.
