Something nobody seems to notice is that there is a sprinkler system next to the fire alarm in build mode. If u place that as well as the fire alarm it will actually put out fires! It's nice that there are firefighters now, but the sprinkler system has always worked just fine for me.
It only costs §750 and you just need one on the outside of your house. Then an alarm in any room the fire could start like the kitchen, laundry room (if u use one) and any room with a fireplace. Not sure why you would need a money cheat for that...
@@diamondyowman453 750 is alot if you dont use cheats :/ its like 20,000 then minus thr 15,000 dollar home, then decorating and furnishing the home, youre left with like 1,000 or 2,000 and 750 takes alot.
@@holy9781 i found an easy way around that, if you want loads of money without cheats! Just create your sim and place them on an empty lot but dont go to live mode instead go to build mode from manage worlds and place a ton of expensive furniture ( i use tv’s and computers) then go to live mode and click build mode from there and you can delete all the furniture and you are left with bunches of money 😊😊😊
I feel like whims could actually add so mush to the game if they were more personality based. Bc there's actually so many things to do in the sims, but I don't know maybe 60% of them, bc they are never mentioned anywhere, I don't even know that they exist. And also, if sims would have more autonomy and would complete these whims by themselves. I don't think it's really that much to ask
THANK YOU! I feel like I'm alone on team 'I really want whims fixed so I can use them'.... I miss TS3 feature which was pretty much the same, but tailored a bit more to that sims traits and aspirations. Just know that you are not alone ❤
Recently got back into ts4 after binging on rim world for weeks and while i agree with both your opinions i strongly agree with them needing to improve autonomy in the game, it’s pretty god awful how often ur sim(s) will just stand with their fingers up their ass after completing a task...
I've been playing TS4 from the beginning and I did not know about the Energized moodlet being the preferred trait to sending them off to work or school. See, I did learn something, Thank you!!!
I hadn’t realized they changed it until yesterday. I thought it was odd but didn’t take note of “preferred mood: inspired” missing. But very good to know energetic should be what I go for.
One thing I noticed about firefighters is that the game doesn’t properly tag them as Employees like other NPCs. I usually play with my doors locked for Everyone but Household and allow employees. It took me way too long to figure out why they wouldn’t go inside. It ridiculous that they didn’t tag them as employees, even Tina Tinker gets temporarily tagged as an employee when she wants in to fix things so she can get passed doors. But they forgot firefighters.
"the game was worse than it is now" LMAO UNDERSTATEMENT!!! It was beyond rough lol. The relationship bugs had me so pissed I couldn't play the game for the first few years!
After skin tone and improved babies, can we focus more on advocating Sims' personality? Like overhaul the whole system (including autonomy, whims, traits, etc).
I downloaded a sim off the gallery and she had the 'never weary' trait, and so now she literally never sleeps. I'll send her to bed and she'll wake up literally like 3 hours later.
if u want a sim off the gallery that is a clean slate without the reward traits, i usually just make a twin of them and then delete the downloaded version
i downloaded a sim from the gallery, he had all the things you can buy from the aspiration point thingies and they still have 31,000 more left- they’ve also mastered all their skills and i honestly hate it lmao
Quick tip for the research and debate skill- your sim learns this skill faster when they are feeling focused 🧠 to any new players out there- different emotions increase certain skill gains, eg. focused boosts logic, inspired boosts painting, energised boosts fitness. Happy simming 🤗
I love this for the fact that you said you are a task oriented player! I feel when I watch a lot of others they speed through the game on a level I could never 😂
Trust me, in university, you’re gonna NEED handiness! The roommates on sims 4 are so freaking wreckless. Breaking everything and leaving their dishes out for you to clean smh
And then have the gall to leave your Sim notes blaming THEM for not cleaning up someone else's mess! Like dude, my Sim was doing homework, calm down. YOU might want to drop out, roommate, but my Sim actually wants to graduate last time I checked. I swear, Sims 4 students are objectively horrible people.
Toddler thinking skill: once you get toddlers to level 4 thinking, they can Ask Why. Asking Why raises both their thinking and communication skills very quickly. If you're aiming for a super toddler, combining this with the clingy trait works really well.
I actually love these videos even as an avid player because honestly we have soo many packs and stuff now that features definitely get lost or forgotten about, I've played since ts4 was released but I still learn something new everytime! 😄
I played the legacy challenge at the beginning of the sims 4 release, fell asleep while playing. When I woke up, my heir had burned to death. I was so mad lol because of that trauma, I never forget. Idc if it's a started home, they won't have a tv but they'll have a fire alarm and sprinkler system. Also, I didn't know research and debate was for all homework. I thought it was only for the homework in that major/skill. So that's good to know 😄
I play the Sims like forever and this is seriously the first time I ever heard about clicking the needs-buttons for auto solve! Thanks a lot, that was enlightening!!!
One lifesaver is having a parent/guardian/older sibling help a younger sim with their homework - it cuts the time it takes to complete in about half, giving your kid sims more time to socialize, play, and develop skills!
Thanks for doing this video!! I knew a lot of those but it's nice to be reminded - though I had no idea about brisk showers!! I always wear ear buds for pregnant sims and listen to pop or alternative music all day, depending on which gender baby I want to have. I love the idea about have university students listen to them round the clock, too
I remember when my brother first started playing Sims 4. He made himself (in real life he’s really skinny, so his Sim was skinny) and he was super confused why his Sim died as an elder with a BIG old beer belly 😂
Yep, if you work long enough with a pet and get them to really like you, you can get the option "Become Companions" with them and the Feel the Love option gives you 250 satisfaction points.
If you want a Sim to be an artist/painter, I recommend getting them a Digital Sketch Pad and keep it in their inventory. It makes painting pictures like 3 times faster when you upgrade the performance of it. Like, you can pause the time on your game; queue up 6 paintings, and have your Sim do all of them in no time. Once your Sim completes them, the paintings go right into their inventory. If you combine this with a lot-trait that makes Sims gain artistic skills faster, you could easily max out your Sim's painting skill in no time. Plus, it's also a great way for earning money really fast as well as make them pretty famous if you have the Get Famous pack installed. Like, in about a day's time, my Sim was able to make 20+ large paintings. It cost my Sim $100 to make each painting but then I was able to hang them all up on a wall and sell them to a collector for $200-$300+ each as well as gained fame for each one I sold. You can easily make a lot of money because once your Sim's painting skill is up high enough, they have a chance to make "Masterpiece" quality paintings which are super rare and can sell for the most money. One morning before work, I had my Sim paint 6 Large Classic paintings. It cost me $600 to make them in total. 2 of them came out as Masterpiece quality which sold for $1,500 - $1,800 a piece...not to mention the rest each sold for a couple hundred each. Just off a half dozen paintings, my Sim made like $3,000+ and that was before they even went to work that day.
You stopped making videos 😢but now there’s infants and you could make videos about how to raise them well. Also we need to know if the new expansion pack is fun or annoying with all the options for babies! Your videos are clear and give great information.
Wow, your video is AWESOME! Thank you. I've been playing the game for years and I learned 5 new tricks that I will incorporate into my game. I also play waaaaay too much and also i'm goal-oriented, I set tasks for my Sims and play one family for one day at a time. According to Origin, i've racked up 3609 hours of gameplay so far. Eek! Anyway, loved your video and now I'm going to see what else you've made for us.
I have played The Sims franchise for most of the past 20 years. I literally bought the first ever game the day it came out, and just played TS2 [not 3 or 4, or the first one either] since 2005 or so. Well.... 2020 has me not bartending anymore [for now], so a friend told me about Steam's massive TS4 Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale, and I finally caved and picked it up [along with Seasons, City Living, Get Together, Battu, and a handful of stuff packs {prices were incredibly low}]. Some other Simmer's videos have been helpful, but this one has been invaluable. There are quite a few things I picked up on my own, or thru game tips, but I enjoyed Taylorsarus' video most of all. She has a very down to earth demeanor and presentation that seems absent from most other Sim-tips vids I've watched this afternoon. I've subscribed and plan on keeping up with the new stuff she produces, I'm sure it'll help me get better acquainted with TS4 a LOT more quickly than my blind baptism-by-fire approach thus far. Thanks so much for sharing your tips with us! I mean, at 36 years old and not much of a gamer, this and TS2 are literally the only two games I play anymore! I'm a goal-oriented Simmer myself, and trying to establish a Simblr [shameless self promotion: @simematography Tumblr] so this has really given me a leg up on the past five years or so of TS4 development. From everything I've heard about the vanilla base game, I am glad I waited! Can't wait to watch "How NOT to get bored with TS4"! Thanks, Taylorsarus!! Keep on truckin!
Hi Taylor. I just recently found your channel and see that you haven't made a video in a while. I hope you are doing well. I have found your videos very helpful and hope that you make more in the future. Be well
Hey I just wanted to let you know that I actually learned some stuff despite being a hardcore Simmer for like, seven years by now I think? Anyway I love how fast you talk too! I'm super impatient so that's kinda satisfying :D
I've been playing for years and still learned new things, thank you so much! This is my first video on this channel and wanted to also say your hair looked super great! Looking forward to watching more sims videos :)
I have been playing The Sims since the very first game. I have been playing The Sims 4 since it released and I am a very avid player. I didn’t know some of these tips! 😂😂 this was such a fun video to watch! I loved it! Thank you so much.
I feel like being able to lock doors for house hold sims would be a mentionable tip. I was able to have my sim parents have a private bathroom from their 5 children, and keep out neighbors that come in and break things. And being able to keep toddlers wrangled to one part of a house is a lovely baby gate type mechanic. You can lock off the kitchen and keep your kids from eating the birthday cake out of the fridge or wasting time with pb and j. You can lock a kid in their room with their skill building stuff to keep them from being distracted by common area tasks like sims chatting while eating. And locking the computers to keep the kids off the household money making device is also 👌 if you're an author. Forreal. Door and device locking. Another tip: I use the wabbit tablet to get toddlers their thinking skill first.... it is expensive and can be overlooked in a huge selection of options with a lot of expansions that focus on young sims, but it is totally worth it. Toddler is tired of blocks but needs movement or thinking? Tablet. Toddler needs communication, but parents and siblings are busy building their own skills? Tablet. Toddler needs imagination skill, but you had to sell all their toys to get the tablet? Tablet.
Such great tips! I have been playing for a while and I feel like I am also a more goal-oriented player. I knew a lot of these but also got a few new tips. Thank you!
I always make sure my toddlers have the potty and thinking skill mastered or to level 3, that's when they stop having nightmare in the middle of the night. Another tip is if you have a toddler or more always keep a garden, they will stay will feed because they will have food in their inventory from the garden.
For university: I always apply on fridays, so I have the whole weekend to work on homework, papers and presentations before the classes start. It really takes the stress out of studying I think.
I’ve been playing Sims 4 since the start and didn’t know about the aspirations bonus trait! Great video, thx for the tips. I’ll use them if I ever bother to play Sims again... I’ve been mad at it last time I played was when Universey came out.
I appreciate your videos. Your straight to the point with no filler crap. Your heart is pure and beautiful. [Flirt] [Express admiration] [Ask if single]???
Waw loveee such videos! Been playing for years and I did not know most of the updates that the team have made thru the patches, please make more🌸 lots of love 💜
Thanks for the tip. Good to know these things when playing Sims. I like Sims 4 and don’t get me wrong here, but The Sims 4 is AWESOME to play on. Them tips are handy and I’ll do the same
Hello, I love watching your videos. They are always full of information I never really know myself. I basically played the sims 3 till last year when I finally got the sims 4. Each one of your videos makes the game slightly more interesting as I just build things. Thank you and I hope you are well. Steph 😁
i recently noticed after my toddler and child sim maxed out their motor, social, creativity and mental skills, it makes them level up SUUUUPER FAST when they turn into a teen... my teen sim is now at least level 5 on most skills and almost at level 10 on some. its so cool it doesnt even take that long. i made him ride his bike and that brought him up to level 3 fitness right after he first acquired it!! i will definitely be getting his logic and debate skills up later when i play!! :D
omg the auto solve on needs, how did i not know this?!?! something to add with one of your tips, if you add whims and choose to like several types of music, you can farm satisfaction points because it will keep asking you to listen to every type of music your sim enjoys, you can get an easy 500 pts in a few sim minutes just listening to a radio
Love these tips and I also love your Sims home decor! I am horrible at decorating and building. Can you please do a decor kinda tutorial video. Specifically how you find furniture that goes together and how to pick flooring that goes with walls. Thanks!
I've been playing the sims 4 since it was launched, well all the sims since launch, and honestly.... You maybe told me over 10 tips I didn't know! So Surprised. THANKS!
Yup. I enjoy her style in a lot of ways, she seems more down-to-earth/genuine than the producers of a lot of these videos. Seems more oriented to helping other Simmers' gameplay than just wanting to make a video about TS4 on UA-cam, SUBSCRIBED!!
This is the first time I'm watching any of your videos and I subscribed cuz the pace and your voice really made the video nice to watch. You have a really soft voice compared to other sims UA-camrs lol, hope it doesn't sound TOO weird :D
One thing that I came up with during the 100 baby Challenge: if you don't have time to feed your toddler every time they're hungry, just buy a bunch of fruits or vegetables and put them in their inventory. The toddler is able to eat them without an adult who needs to feed them. Bonus: If the fruits are high quality from your own Garden, the tiddler will get a happy mood
One of my sims - um sims 3 or 2 it was long ago - burned to death because of fire place. I was traumatized ( im Australian and bush fires are SCARY ) went back to the previous save - which was ages ago. My sims *never* get a fire place. And every room has smoke detectors. they don't even get a stove until every sim has at least cooking 3.
Omg!! I had no idea you could just click on the energy bar or food bar and they go do it. How did i not know this lol been playing since the 2000s. Well thank you!!!
Don’t understand people who play with whims off, I like that it gives me more personality for my sims and more insight into what they want to do at that moment
Hi!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH I almost never hear something new about gameplay, that's awesome! Do you have any tip on how to be more visible on the gallery? I recently started to share some of my content and could use some tips :)
Use as many hashtags as you can to describe your masterpiece. Like for a family I would say #married #husband #wife #toddler etc etc maybe even throw their traits into a hash tag
Also, if you add an extinguisher on a wall outside or inside. Your sim will immediately use that to put the fire out faster than if you depend on just the smoke detector and fire alarm pack that's usually found outside.
On of the aspiration rewards is a flask of slimify - drink it. Does exactly what it says. One sim can buy this and put it on the floor / table so the other can pick it up and drink it.
These are useful, I was taught in another video about lot traits I felt so dumb I never knew haha I’m being taught! Getting back into the sims 4 and excited 😌
If you make your toddler watch the parent while they're painting, the thinking skill goes up sooo fast.
Thank you so much for telling me this. It always takes me forever to thinking up
What? Does this work on other things? I have a writer sim for an 100 baby challenge and my tots always have to finish the thinking skill last.
OOOOOOOO TY
wait really???

Glad you leaned something! Woohoo!
I never knew about this either. I usually have my Sims take the thoughtful/inspired shower before work.
Also depending on your Sims Emotion they can unlock new recipes and interaction.
Like gummybear pancakes if their in the playful mood.
I always thought focused was best for sending them to school. Good to know that's not the case anymore.

Auto-solve plays me every time. I try to auto-solve hygiene and they always go drink a glass of water. They're cleaning their kidneys I guess. 🙄😂
Okay this made me giggle😅
I think they said they fixed that in the latest update
mine cleans-
I love this for the fact that you said you are a task oriented player! I feel when I watch a lot of others they speed through the game on a level I could never 😂

I have a recent video of CAS mods where the link to the background should be in the description 🥰
It’s a custom content kind of thing. You download backgrounds (I get it from TSR) and put it in your mods folder for sims.

I learned that if your sim takes care of a pet for awhile an option called feel the love and it gives you 100 satisfaction points

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I actually learned some stuff despite being a hardcore Simmer for like, seven years by now I think? Anyway I love how fast you talk too! I'm super impatient so that's kinda satisfying :D
I've been playing for years and still learned new things, thank you so much! This is my first video on this channel and wanted to also say your hair looked super great! Looking forward to watching more sims videos :)
I love these types of videos! 😄✌️
I have been playing The Sims since the very first game. I have been playing The Sims 4 since it released and I am a very avid player. I didn’t know some of these tips! 😂😂 this was such a fun video to watch! I loved it! Thank you so much.
I feel like being able to lock doors for house hold sims would be a mentionable tip. I was able to have my sim parents have a private bathroom from their 5 children, and keep out neighbors that come in and break things. And being able to keep toddlers wrangled to one part of a house is a lovely baby gate type mechanic. You can lock off the kitchen and keep your kids from eating the birthday cake out of the fridge or wasting time with pb and j. You can lock a kid in their room with their skill building stuff to keep them from being distracted by common area tasks like sims chatting while eating. And locking the computers to keep the kids off the household money making device is also 👌 if you're an author. Forreal. Door and device locking.
Another tip: I use the wabbit tablet to get toddlers their thinking skill first.... it is expensive and can be overlooked in a huge selection of options with a lot of expansions that focus on young sims, but it is totally worth it. Toddler is tired of blocks but needs movement or thinking? Tablet. Toddler needs communication, but parents and siblings are busy building their own skills? Tablet. Toddler needs imagination skill, but you had to sell all their toys to get the tablet? Tablet.
i have thousands of hours in sims 4 but never knew about some of these tips!
Such great tips! I have been playing for a while and I feel like I am also a more goal-oriented player. I knew a lot of these but also got a few new tips. Thank you!
I always make sure my toddlers have the potty and thinking skill mastered or to level 3, that's when they stop having nightmare in the middle of the night.
Another tip is if you have a toddler or more always keep a garden, they will stay will feed because they will have food in their inventory from the garden.
For university: I always apply on fridays, so I have the whole weekend to work on homework, papers and presentations before the classes start. It really takes the stress out of studying I think.
I do the same
I’ve been playing Sims 4 since the start and didn’t know about the aspirations bonus trait! Great video, thx for the tips. I’ll use them if I ever bother to play Sims again... I’ve been mad at it last time I played was when Universey came out.
I appreciate your videos. Your straight to the point with no filler crap. Your heart is pure and beautiful.
[Flirt] [Express admiration] [Ask if single]???
Your videos are awesome! You do such a good job, thanks for the solid info!
I love your videos and these tips actually helped me in game. I've only been playing the sims for a few years so thanks for the tips!👍
Thank you for watching!
I never really think about the aspiration traits, nice tip 👍 I don’t think I even realized that they don’t change when you change aspirations
Waw loveee such videos! Been playing for years and I did not know most of the updates that the team have made thru the patches, please make more🌸 lots of love 💜
☺️ glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are so good I learn something new every time 😍😍
I knew a bunch of these tips but it was still good to remember them! Thanks and well done !
My sim feeds on the blood of others. Apparently the best caloric guide lmao.
Thanks for the tip. Good to know these things when playing Sims. I like Sims 4 and don’t get me wrong here, but The Sims 4 is AWESOME to play on. Them tips are handy and I’ll do the same
Hello, I love watching your videos. They are always full of information I never really know myself. I basically played the sims 3 till last year when I finally got the sims 4. Each one of your videos makes the game slightly more interesting as I just build things. Thank you and I hope you are well. Steph 😁
I am so glad you like the vids! Thank you steph 💕💕
Whims actually help your Sims get aspiration points to purchase rewards. It also functions like the Want System in Sims 2.
i recently noticed after my toddler and child sim maxed out their motor, social, creativity and mental skills, it makes them level up SUUUUPER FAST when they turn into a teen... my teen sim is now at least level 5 on most skills and almost at level 10 on some. its so cool it doesnt even take that long. i made him ride his bike and that brought him up to level 3 fitness right after he first acquired it!! i will definitely be getting his logic and debate skills up later when i play!! :D
i’ve been playing this game for ages but didn’t know some of these so thank you my friend recently got the sims to so i’m recommending you to her!!!
Omg im at work rn and now I want to go play sims!! I did not know about the whims at all!! Im pumped now!
haha i'm sorry that you're at work when you should be playing sims hehe
You have the perfect voice for ASMR videos lol. Great video, thanks so much
773 hours and my mind is blown
Love it! I’ve played for years and found at least one that was new to me! Thanks!
Great video, really appreciated the university tips and the earbuds idea.
glad you liked it!
Thanks! Very useful! I'm doing the 100 baby challenge and I'll definitely be using that "upgrade the thinking skill for toddlers" tip! :P
Why does her sim like like Cher’s friend Dione from Clueless? 😂😂
Omg she does- haha
I JUST FOUND HER CHANNEL AND SHE HAS THE SWEETEST VOICE IT CALMS ME SO MUCH EKGIDBWKWBXUE
These are my favorite types of Sims 4 videos!
This was awesome! Your Sim reminds me of the girl from Clueless! I forget her name but Stacey Dash played her.
omg the auto solve on needs, how did i not know this?!?! something to add with one of your tips, if you add whims and choose to like several types of music, you can farm satisfaction points because it will keep asking you to listen to every type of music your sim enjoys, you can get an easy 500 pts in a few sim minutes just listening to a radio
If no one told you yet CONGRATULATION ON 25K😁😁❤❤ I really really love your channel!!!
Lovin the earbuds. From watching your baby challenge. Helpful when they don't have time to get their fun up.
So much to learn about this game even when I think I know lots! 💗✨
Love these tips and I also love your Sims home decor! I am horrible at decorating and building. Can you please do a decor kinda tutorial video. Specifically how you find furniture that goes together and how to pick flooring that goes with walls. Thanks!
I've been playing the sims 4 since it was launched, well all the sims since launch, and honestly.... You maybe told me over 10 tips I didn't know! So Surprised. THANKS!
me watching the video "oh" "wow" WOAH' "really?" "omg" "she is cool" "im gonna follow her now" "what thats so coool"
Yup. I enjoy her style in a lot of ways, she seems more down-to-earth/genuine than the producers of a lot of these videos. Seems more oriented to helping other Simmers' gameplay than just wanting to make a video about TS4 on UA-cam, SUBSCRIBED!!
Your voice is so calming it makes me happy ❤️
If whims we're related to your personality, like the Sims 2, it would be perfect
Hi Taylor I haven’t been watching your videos for ages but now I NEVER miss one
Edit: Btw first
This is the first time I'm watching any of your videos and I subscribed cuz the pace and your voice really made the video nice to watch. You have a really soft voice compared to other sims UA-camrs lol, hope it doesn't sound TOO weird :D
One thing that I came up with during the 100 baby Challenge: if you don't have time to feed your toddler every time they're hungry, just buy a bunch of fruits or vegetables and put them in their inventory. The toddler is able to eat them without an adult who needs to feed them. Bonus: If the fruits are high quality from your own Garden, the tiddler will get a happy mood
I was today years old about a couple of these tips, and I have over a thousand hours in the Sims 4. Great content.
thank you!!
One of my sims - um sims 3 or 2 it was long ago - burned to death because of fire place. I was traumatized ( im Australian and bush fires are SCARY ) went back to the previous save - which was ages ago. My sims *never* get a fire place. And every room has smoke detectors.
they don't even get a stove until every sim has at least cooking 3.
I have a fear of fireplaces irl so my sims never get them, haha.
@@Schnort If you ever use pre-built houses remember to check for fireplaces, and remove them.
I use the earbuds for all kids in my 100 baby challenge. Definitely a lifesaver when they come home in a mood and don't want to do their homework.
LOVED the tips! And the way you talk hahaha
Omg!! I had no idea you could just click on the energy bar or food bar and they go do it. How did i not know this lol been playing since the 2000s. Well thank you!!!
I love these types of videos very rewarding and refreshing 😊
Thank you for teaching me how to play Sims 4 your very helpful
taking pictures with other sims gains friendship A LOT faster
Don’t understand people who play with whims off, I like that it gives me more personality for my sims and more insight into what they want to do at that moment
Hi!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH I almost never hear something new about gameplay, that's awesome! Do you have any tip on how to be more visible on the gallery? I recently started to share some of my content and could use some tips :)
Use as many hashtags as you can to describe your masterpiece. Like for a family I would say #married #husband #wife #toddler etc etc maybe even throw their traits into a hash tag
Also, if you add an extinguisher on a wall outside or inside. Your sim will immediately use that to put the fire out faster than if you depend on just the smoke detector and fire alarm pack that's usually found outside.
On of the aspiration rewards is a flask of slimify - drink it. Does exactly what it says. One sim can buy this and put it on the floor / table so the other can pick it up and drink it.
I've been playing for years but still learned a couple new for me tips. Thanks!
I did not realize the sim keeps the trait from the first aspiration.
I feel like most peoplee don't realize that! It can reaally help in later game
These are useful, I was taught in another video about lot traits I felt so dumb I never knew haha
I’m being taught! Getting back into the sims 4 and excited 😌
Where is the hairstyle at 8:03 - 8:43 from? It’s gorgeous!
I am so happy the algorithm suggested your videos! Subbed 🙂
I been playing this sims for years now and I didn’t know some of these. Thank you
Can you make a video on how to properly care for a toddler? It’s not as easy as the sims 3 and maybe I’m doing something wrong.....
Your sims hair is everything 😍😍
