Sims 4 exploits are wild. Queueing up the same interaction repeatedly can be used in a few places; one of my favorites is to get a few levels in Writing skill and then queue up several "Write Love Letters" to someone (there's a cooldown, but the queued ones will still go through). They can hate you when they go to bed, then wake up to an inbox full of romantic spam and be absolutely smitten.
my personal favorite is Clubs. You can literally make a harem. You can set club activities like Woohoo, try for baby, etc. So whenever you call a club meeting. After a while you'll start getting messages that you now have a child. So, whenever you get a child in your house, you receive gifts from every other child you have. These gifts are all toys ranging from 10 to 800 simoleons. My character has about 150 children and receives about 60000-70000 simoleons everytime a new child gets born in house. Then I usually move the newborn to a random family (but only to a family ingame, because otherwise they will stay a newborn) morally and ethically very questionable, but hilarious it's possible in the sims of all games.
@@katlikegaming you can do the same for fertilizing plants! just wait to be able to fertilize, make sure you have a ton of fertilizer, then click fertilize then PAUSE the game. continue queueing fertilizer. this works until your sim starts fertilizing :)
how are you supposed to retire in this economy if not by buying house when you're 20 in the middle of no where and then doing landlord shenanigans when you're old and the city grew over your land
Playing The Sims exactly as intended, by making the neighbours angry once you’re rich enough to not need any friends anymore, and eventually having a nice graveyard 👌
I'm pretty sure if reincarnation is a thing this man was not a serbian mortar shell launched at a bosnian hospital, but a brick in an egyptian pyramid.
You guys wanted laws to make it harder to evict you and then it became impossible for small landlords to afford the legal fight to evict deadbeats so they sold to massive holding companies who got a monopoly on rental properties and jacked the rents to the stratosphere. Lie in the bed you made.
Spiff has done quite a few get rich quick schemes in The Sims 4, and I have to say this is probably the one that involved the least amount of human suffering. Also the fastest. Well done?
When you added all the mailboxes I thought you were going to turn it into a tax haven like those Holland places that somehow house over a hundred businesses.
I thought he was just dividing it up to host multiple tenants in a space designed for one, and saying "Hang on a minute, that's not a Sims exploit, landlords already do that!", but he surprised me with where it went.
horrifically....he's not that wrong. my buddy moved near (not even in) a major city, an apartment smaller than his $750 one here was legit $2000 a month. and even in nowheresville where I live, apartments like mine one are around $1200+. Depending on where spiff lives, a flat might legitimately cost around that much. housing prices are fucking ridiculous nowadays. the apartment prices around my area have doubled in the last 7 years -_-
The best money glitch is still working up to the money tree, and when it's ready to be harvested, just put it in inventory and you'll get all the fruits from the tree, making it possible to plant another 10 trees or so.
I usually do a silly little thing where if you manage people in the household, you can move in a person or move out a person from household to household, you can just take all of their money along with it. Do this with every household in the game, and now you have a lot of money. Not cheating tho so achievements are still available!
Spiff has done a vid about that actually ages ago, courting the wife of the richest family, moving in with them and then kicking them all out of their own home
There’s another glitch I found where if you move in a house hold of one then edit the house and merge another household of one it will give you 9999999 dollar, at least it worked a year ago
I like how the megastructure jail cell Spiff built was meant to be an exaggeration but I know student accommodation in London is much much worse and costs more
Another way to use the move household in to get lots of money is by building a house you want then building basements full of fridges that are expensive then moving the sim into the house and selling all the fridges in the basement. This keeps achievements on and my be a little simpler then doing this amazing renting exploit. Great video by the way, fun to watch.
To be honest, thanks for staying with us and not retiring. I'm always excited then new videos pop up and hope we'll be exploiting even more and better thanks for all this years
Its a lovely job to do and I have a team / family that depends on me to keep working so I am more than happy to stick with it :) Comments like this definitely help motivate me though
I love how the first exploit was for the mailboxes and then it turned into Spiff discovering a another exploit that's even worse (or better), this stuff never gets old!
I always find myself chuckling at your Sims videos. I don't play it myself, but it is very fun to watch you play such a perfectly balanced game, without any exploits whatsoever.
Man, I haven't watched your videos in quite a while, but they're so good, I'm glad this was recommended, I needed to come back to these awesome videos.
Im sure someone has already mentioned this but a few seconds of scrolling didn't reveal them so. You can actually fill all those bedrooms! With rental properties you can split one plot into multiple rental properties, and you can pick which individual rental each room belongs to and set rooms (like the kitchen in this case) to be communal. The Craggs don't need all that space for just them.
And Spiff turns The Sims 4 into Prison Architect. But I suppose that after turning Prison Architect into a tea plantation, a tree farm, and a warden cloning facility, it only makes sense to restore the original game concept... using a different game, of course.
I went to school at leicester and cambridge, and live in the US. I can fully believe that "No Ghost" is definitely a rule that you will 100% have to pay a fine for in any housing unit.
I need a continuation of this specific rental structure but it gets sold to Jim Pickens in a crossover event with CallMeKevin. I need to see what Kevin would do as a landlord with this mega rental complex 😂
Somehow I know spiff will make a video with this expansion one day. Glad he’s the one who scam people but not being scammed as a tenant by the game itself.
If you have the Horse Ranch dlc, you can make a ton of money just by harvesting all the prairie grass you can get to. You can find nectar in the grass, then you just let the nectar sit in your inventory until its "finely aged" and sell it for thousands of simoleons.
If you’re interested in breaking old games you should try “escape velocity Nova”. Get a heavy shuttle (2nd ship in game, cheap as chips, like $10,000”. Put a solar panel and afterburner on it. Go south and put a pulse canon on it. Then go back to Sol and keep jumping in and out of the system until you find a manticore class A. Fire on it and run like hell with the afterburner. It will spend all its missiles trying to get you, just stay out if range of them. Once all it’s missiles are used up move back into range and fire with the pulse canon. Stay out of range of its very short laser, it will shred you in seconds. Get the Manticore down to 10%, board, and you either have a brand new ship to command or sell it for a cool $400,000. Get one, or a fleet of them. I once had 6 of them following my heavy shuttle around. While you’re at it if you can get the mission for the aliens on the right of the map, they have some powerful ships. Anyway. Love your content.
It's so weird that the sims developers encourage cheating but it disables achievements on console. Plus not every cheat disables achievements. On PC/Mac you get random achievements regardless of cheating.
YOURE BACK! Don’t leave me without a tea fueled overlord for long again. My American thoughts were returning. Haunted by thoughts of dumping tea into the sea and drinking hot bean juice. Thank you spiff you stopped the voices…
I love how the game refusing to simulate the actual socio-economic consequences of landlording (driving people into poverty by demanding they pay for the shelter they need to live) is what enables the rule violation free money glitch.
@@AiraDelasse I feel like game devs sponsor Spiff and LGIO to work as quality assurance AND as advertisement. Both of them do sponsored content pretty frequently, they're just subtle about it
If you live in a place that has rent subsidies (where the government helps to pay your rent if you can't afford it instead of trying to fix the pricing issues), then with some dubious fiddling you could pull it off.
Well, now we know what the buildings will look like if Spiff completes The Device and takes over the world. Hopefully, work in the Yorkshire Tea mines will cover the rent.
Is it just me or is it the first time I watch a UA-camr I know's older videos on a game I either just got into or go back into, that they upload a video on that same game even if they haven't in years? Pretty sure I just watched one of Spiff's old SIms videos literally last night and here we are
I believe you can still edit the property because you leased it before selling it, and that in turn, allows you to stay in possession of the property before buying it again. That loop confuses the heck out of the game😂😂😂
the Mcdonalds Ice Cream Machine. Lovely. I also love the picture with the Golden Gates. But this time the Gold is replaced by rocket smoke. And the target, not the Las Vegas Strip obviously. The other Strip.
*This is exactly the way the developers intend you to play the game*
yes
Perfectly balanced
Precisely
Would love to see you break Lethal Company some time, the game been blowing up lately
I was gonna post a Sims video soon lol
Haven’t watched it yet but “I broke The Sims 4” is like saying “I broke the McDonalds ice cream machine.” Can’t break what was never whole 😂
A valid point however it is rare that I exploit a game in such an introspective way of it misclassifying my character as a split personality
Best comment
interestingly.
it's the same lack of maintenance.
My crowbar says otherwise
Pls do some CK3 exploits.
I love how Spiff is just so experienced in finding exploits that he accidentally found one while already attempting one
The Sims experience. You try one thing, accidentally do another

Playing The Sims exactly as intended, by making the neighbours angry once you’re rich enough to not need any friends anymore, and eventually having a nice graveyard 👌
A big nice graveyard is a necessity in sims 4. It is important as the kitchen

Rule applies to real life too
The dialogue between Lucy Landgrab and Lucy Landgrab made me want to hear Spiff narrate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
"Pee v. Pee" got me actually laughing out loud. Well done.
The best joke yeah lol
XD yer i loved that. i also like to say "BRPEE" lol
If he did those potty mouth things for pve, it would make the joke even funnier, but it was still funny
It's been YEARS since I laughed this loud or this much when he mentioned that! 🤣🤣😂😂
Choked on my drink so badly !
I have a feeling you could've bought a smaller plot of land, built less on it and asked the same price, you know, for ultimate landlordism

You guys wanted laws to make it harder to evict you and then it became impossible for small landlords to afford the legal fight to evict deadbeats so they sold to massive holding companies who got a monopoly on rental properties and jacked the rents to the stratosphere. Lie in the bed you made.
17:01 Spiff casually admits to tax evasion.
_His Majesty's tax system is a perfectly balanced game with NO exploits._
🎩NO exploits👌
Where do you think the magic money has been coming from? He's forgiving the fine for his "tennant" and writing it off as a loss on his taxes.
Spiff finding increasingly creative ways of manifesting textbook cases of fraud into video games is truly admirable
When you said it was released 10 years ago you gave me a hell of a reality check
Spiff broke the game so hard that he even confused himself! That’s talent!
Love this Sims content! I hope to see more shenanigans like this! LOL
Spiff has done quite a few get rich quick schemes in The Sims 4, and I have to say this is probably the one that involved the least amount of human suffering. Also the fastest. Well done?
Also you can start your own bussiness and sell the the most expensive by 100% profit. After a few sales, youre going to be richyy rich:))
It's simple insurance fraud! Basically a victimless crime.
Humane farming isn’t noble, but we all have to make sacrifices.

65 dollars a day, almost 2000 dollar rent
Spiff: Thats pretty afforadble
To be fair, Sims can make a few hundred bucks a day as well, depending on the career. It's very much not realistic.
Hah you've never tried to live in Manhattan have you?

My heart goes out to the British family who were evicted from their house for having ghosts without a haunted house license 😔

Man, I haven't watched your videos in quite a while, but they're so good, I'm glad this was recommended, I needed to come back to these awesome videos.
I love how you change currency almost every time an amount is mentioned.
I'm surprised you didn't actually make every room a unique rental with the cheat and actually have like 50 people live in here.
That would be the true British landlord experience haha
Unfortunately you can't have more than 6 units on a single property without cheating
I think in the first part, Spiff is basically just committing property evaluation fraud. XD
After that, he becomes the worst landlord ever.
President is the natural next step, if I know my recent history 😁
The funny thing is that there is actually a rich family that shows up in multiple Sims games called the Landgraabs, Lucy would have fit right in

"Not my fault she decided to waste a day and come hang out with me". This line felt practiced, somehow I think Spiff has said it before.
