Ha! I don't play with pets (way too much micromanagement for my tastes), but I can add a few tips to help living outside on your own: Outdoor Retreat is *the* most OP gamepack if you want to go this route: you can put most furniture in your sim's inventory and take it with you. The inflatable bed, the shower, the icebox and lounge chairs. The bar, the firepit: pretty much everything is easy to take up with you *anywhere*. Also, it adds the different moodlets for eating produce, stargazing, cloudgazing, etc. If you have the Fitness Stuff pack you have got to get one of those headphones from the computer. Turn it on, cancel, never worry about fun again, as long as it's playing. I don't bother about getting tense because yoga mats and meditation cushions. Once you get good enough at it you can teleport to secret lots you unlocked. Speaking of which: why bother living in a neighborhood if you can literally camp in Sylvan Glades? Don't bother with weather, great fishing spots and produce most of the year (I think there are pears and apples in the area? Nothing for summertime, I'm afraid), don't bother with temperature extremes at all, the only setback is you can't edit the lot without cheats, but with the portable furniture you don't really need to bother. One of my favorite strategies is to move neighborhoods depending on the season. The park in Oasis Springs is amazing all year round, I avoid Willow Creek and Brindleton Bay during rainy season due to thunderstorms being more common there. Newcrest and San Myshuno are really cold during winter, and Windenburg is surprisingly tame -- the Middle of Nowhere lot in the island is a great place to live outdoors with so many nature amenities close by. You can always make your lot Private (no visitors) and go out to meet new people: making friends in nightclubs is an excellent strategy. Forget the easel. You can make serious money taking photos and don't even need to invest in any equipment to start making a buck. It's much quicker too. The outdoor grill is portable, so you can bring it with you to other lots (not that you really need to, with all the food stands out in the world). Finally: Klepto is the perfect trait to match with this kind of gameplay. "Borrow" some item to help your sim learn a new skill and then give it back for the moodlet.
In a recent play through, I used a tent to travel from area to area, very rarely staying at the home lot. It's a great way to get all the nature achievements and collect all the veggies, fruits and flowers, which need a bit of time to spawn and grow.
This has inspired me to make a hippie compound with a farm and a few tents. It won't be bare minimum, but I never thought to use the tents for anything other than the camp sites or on a jungle adventure. Great video, I've been subbed for a few months and your videos are a great value to the sims community. Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to watch more of your videos.
That's awesome. I was hoping to inspire some ideas or discussion with this, as it's a video kind of all over the place. I thought of it as an essay of sorts, just a sloppy one but I had a lot of fun recording it and wanted to make use of that great footage once I'd gone so far. Ultimately my favorite videos to make are those where I have a random gameplay idea and roll with it. Like planning ahead the flower shop for seasons then killing it once I actually started the business. It's nice to see things work out. This.... did, I guess, but because it didn't have much of a goal. :)
In Sims3, I once had a family with each of their rooms like separated small buildings with the communal kitchen in the center, open air and without walls. (of course there was a bathroom building too, I'm not a monster)
@@CarlsSimGuides I've had The Sims 4, for around 2 1/2 years now... Your sites helped me figure out things better then watching play-throughs. Your tips and advise have helped a ton of people and it's awesome to know you have a UA-cam channel too. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done over the years! *:-D*
Omg yes. His website is THE best when it comes to Sims. Other websites are too wordy or have too many ads or miss information. That's how I discovered the UA-cam channel in the first place.
I have always since the first Sims game loved to camp outside especially for a new Sim. But Seasons changed that. I had a Sim female in the game 2 days living in a city park I built. Then grilling breakfast in freezing winter weather-she fell over and died. I really liked her too.
I did this too. I set up camp on the small island in Windenburg. For traits I picked Cheerful, Loves Outdoors and Lonewolf. Slept in a tent, had the outdoor shower, a campfire, camp chairs and a cooler. All I did was fish and collect. It was fun, for what it was.
It’s not like leaving everything outdoors will stop some people from criticizing how you can’t build because they’d shift their focus to how badly things are lied out and not painting the grass or anything :) Entertaining vid nonetheless, I really need to send my sims on a vacation too. PS. I believe bushes were first featured in Get Together.
There’s not shame to that (we all have our own shortcomings) as long as 1, Your sims consider them “nicely decorated”; 2, You didn’t upload it! (One more thing, I remember reading this on your guide, slapping a piece of roof onto any sim will still protect them from weather conditions.)
I made a campsite for 6 Sims using only the initial money of a single Sim (check MirthyrZeo Camping Dream on the galery), you forgot that you can wash your clothes by hand and use the clothesline to dry. One thing that REALLY frustrated me was the small campfire, that thing starts fire all the time, it's so often that I had to download a mod to completely remove the fire chance of this object. I'm thinking in make a Sim with a guitar (and a dog of course), to start the music carrer living like this (playing guitar on the campfire is very cool), the map will be the small island of Windenburg. Edit: forgot to tell, you also can use the hidden object cheat to purchase a public bathroom, because those toilet bushes makes your pet sick all the time, I made a outdoor bathroom for my Sim but since it was the only place with doors, it was registered as the main house door, so when people visit me they all gather inside of the bathroom xD
I know basically nothing about making campfires but yet I am sure that I could avoid burning things down let alone setting myself on fire so I agree with you on that one being something that should be changed. And yeah the dog kept getting bit by squirrels with warnings about an infection. That poor animal was never happy. I was thinking I'll just put down a vet clinic - I need to get the last feathers for the collection. I asked to review a couple of stuff packs and they obliged so I have a few things I hadn't seen like earbuds. I'm kinda unsure where a few of these things came from - my site does not typically cover stuff packs unless they do a lot for gameplay. However they are more interesting to cover in video format and this may lead to a change in direction for me. Also, playing guitar is one of my favorite ways to earn money. I just wish there was a better tipping system in Sims 4 so that at times someone would toss $150 in your hat. The version in 3 was utterly broken as there was an exploit based on the number of times played. Play/cancel etc until you're getting hundreds (maybe thousands) in tips every time!
For my Sims that live outdoors, I like using the sets and props from Get Famous to tell a story. For instance making it look like my alien Sim crashed to Earth, or making the lot look like a pirate shipwreck with its cargo spilling out onto the sand. For me, it adds a bit more to the fun!
LOL, I missed when this video it first came out because I spent most of the last week doing nothing but playing. (Don't judge me.) And I was playing similarly to this! Only mine was "homeless" challenge. We decorated the lot with large decoration items, like sets that made the lot look like an abandoned building and random plants, using almost all the money. Then sent them out with 50 simoleons to make their way in the world. Did not even give a tent, they had to earn the money to buy a tent. When you have all expansions, this actually isn't hard and it can be a lot of fun, my public lots had already been updated with things I wanted which turned out to be the just what homeless sims needed. For instance, I had put a few beds in clubs so when sims are about to fall down exhausted they can get some real rest. (Though I don't let my 'homeless' sim sleep there nightly or defeats the purpose.) Long long ago, I went thru to my libraries and made sure ALL skill books were there and I have one library set up as a public media center. But the game itself has kitchens in several public lots and there are easels everywhere it seems, with get famous there is a guitar in the bar and there is a violin in a lounge, there are pianos in lounges and bars. If you think about it just about any skill you want to level up has something available somewhere to do it. We decided to end the challenge by having your "homeless" sim have earned enough money to buy its "dream" home. Or just let them have fun going everywhere and doing everything. When its hot, I send them to the public pool, which has a bathroom with a shower and even a mirror if I want to have her level up in charisma or freshen up for that hot date. If you think this all sounds too easy, start out with a teenager (did give that one a tent to start) because they also have to go to school and have decent grades to be able to live alone. My teenage homeless boy was down to an F and I thought would get taken away when my little niece told me that glutton sims (which he was) can get food out of the trash cans and they never get sick eating spoiled food, so my teenager will now not die and has more time to do homework because can seriously scrounge for food.I'm going to stop now because I can go on and on and on and on and on ...
I have been following your help page since begininng of sims 4 and found it so much help. I did not even know you had a youtude account!! Glad I have found it and happy simming! x
It's always nice to see what videos you share. You're always very helpful and every video is great! This playstyle makes us think outside the box. Thanks Carl.
This reminds me of the Murkland Challenge, or live off the land challenges too, so much fun, more risk too, especially since seasons came out. Love your guides, and loved this vid too 😁
New subscriber here and getting back into the sims 4 after a long break. I realize just how much has changed since I was on a long break. You helped me a whole lot! Thank you!
Oh yeah! I totally forgot about the woodworking furniture! That's brilliant. In a way there are so many different things in the game it's hard to keep track of at this point, and to really do what I was trying to do in a perfect way, you should have a checklist of ideas. However it did start some discussion, which is cool :)
This is LITERALLY what I did in my latest game with my sim! Even the pond that I populated with koi even though it was not actually needed. Except for the rocket and the bath. Even damn Vlad is here XD
I've been thinking about making a few outdoor builds lately, so this is definitely useful. I was thinking of something less minimalistic and doing like an outdoor nudist retreat with some spa features (now that there's a clothing optional lot trait), as well as an off the grid village and a national park where my Sims can camp.
I actually made almost everything in one big room (everything minus bathrooms and bead rooms) work pretty well in The Sims 1, and have been interested in seeing how my TS1 strategic homes work in TS4.
I've been a fan of your Sims 3 site for years and just discovered you have videos after my mom bought Sims 4. They're just as informative as your site. One note on this vid, though. Most of what you talk about and show aren't in the base game but this is listed in the base game playlist. With other videos it doesn't matter as much because there's a lot of base game into but here it feels miscategorized. Anyway, you definitely got a new sub.
I know it’s old already, but could you make a video about Outdoor Retreat? It would be especially interesting to see how it interacts with the features of Snowy Escapes and Seasons.
I'm currently playing a history challenge which thus far has been mostly outside. The most annoying thing is the pets constantly getting sprayed by skunks and bitten by squirrels in the pee bushes!!
First of all, I loved the video, I've tried doing things like this in the Sims 2 and 3, but certain items (toilets needed walls) so that made outdoor living difficult. I just recently got into the Sims 4, just before it became free (I paid under $7 for the digital deluxe version), so I haven't tried a whole lot out, but couldn't you put a fence around your lot and lock the gate? That way you could keep unwanted visitors out, or that Lot Trait that is supposed to do that too. Or do gates not lock in the Sims 4? I definitely know that I want to add Outdoor Retreat and Jungle Adventure, even more so affirmed after watching this video. Always love your guides for the Sims, very helpful!
You could put a fence around but costly at 1st if you are started from £0. Also make sure to put fence in one tile on the grid so the gate will work. They do lock with many options too.
This is a old video iknow but I do enjoying watching your vids ! But idk if it was made or thought of but couldn't you or someone make a mod where adult sims hit a certain time in their life span get a mid-life crises using the phase feature that's in parent hood pack. can have certain whims like cheating, buy expensive build buy items, mood swings get angry or cry ,break up with spouse whims etc. I think that will be cool
I got into a few train hoppers/hobos videos and I learned a bit about the culture from them. I sort of want my gameplay to simulate reality a bit more, not to be a bummer thing but as a challenge. You can overcome challenges like getting kicked out of a home in Sims or avoid that entirely. At the same time it makes for a better story vs guy sits down at computer writes novels that are killing it in sales and lives happily ever after. Definitely considering looking into some of the darker mods and those that add a bit more challenge to the game.
Carl I love you!!!!😂🤣😂"I can't remember due to a mid life crisis". Your crisis is not funny. I am sorry about that it's just the way you said it. Been using your website for years!!!!! So glad I found your you tube! Thank you for all the information over the years 💝💝💝
Hey Carl! I need to ask you, when you make a sim, you have the traits right? Well then there is little catalogs of traits on top with little icons, I only have the first page of traits and it’s been like this since I’ve got it, any ideas why? I play on console by the way, to be specific, PlayStation.
If you only see about 10, then you're only seeing the emotional (first) traits tab. Examples of non-emotional traits you should definitely have would be loves the outdoors or snob. If it's just active, romantic and creative for example there should be additional tabs you can access somehow. The PS4/Xbox have all the same base game traits you'll find on PC. I don't have TS4 installed on my playstation at the moment due to space issues and mostly playing on PC but I'd expect you either change those tabs manualy or use the L1/R1 buttons while in the trait selection area. Do you not see the icons for the different tabs (paint, sail boat, and champagne glasses) above the traits listing or are they there and not working?
Firstly, thank you for replying! And I do see the glass and all of those tabs on top but it won’t let me press on them, I’ll try again with the L1/L2 again and I’ll tell you if it works.
People be like these cabins are pretty pricey to go camping with but if you’re willing to pay the money go ahead! Me with the motherload cheat😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

My pets pretty much take care of themselves in game and don't really get into too much trouble. They're easier than toddlers that's for sure. Lolz

"I wasted money on a rocket" Lol, sims creates the best out of context statements

Entertaining vid nonetheless, I really need to send my sims on a vacation too.
PS. I believe bushes were first featured in Get Together.
I agree..Carl...your layout sucks! ;)
I knew someone was going to say this! And yeah, you gotta decorate or it's going to look funny. Still not as bad as my houses though.
There’s not shame to that (we all have our own shortcomings) as long as
1, Your sims consider them “nicely decorated”;
2, You didn’t upload it!
(One more thing, I remember reading this on your guide, slapping a piece of roof onto any sim will still protect them from weather conditions.)
You can take your dog to the spa and use their tub if you can't afford one LOL Great video!

I always start my games with a rags to riches style. With weather it sure does make it more challenging. (That’s a good thing!)
i love living outdoors in sims! without electricity and manors, great video, also crafted wooden tub is great for this style of life

New subscriber here and getting back into the sims 4 after a long break. I realize just how much has changed since I was on a long break. You helped me a whole lot! Thank you!
Now I want this pack. If you have handiness you can make toilets and bathtubs.

You make me want to pick up the Sims again. And I think I will. Thanks for the idea
I like starting as doing the Homeless, Runaway Teen or Asylum Challenge and then working up from there.
I've been thinking about making a few outdoor builds lately, so this is definitely useful. I was thinking of something less minimalistic and doing like an outdoor nudist retreat with some spa features (now that there's a clothing optional lot trait), as well as an off the grid village and a national park where my Sims can camp.
This is one of my fav videos on UA-cam ever
Your content is excellent and I love hearing your voice, it’s very relaxing
I actually made almost everything in one big room (everything minus bathrooms and bead rooms) work pretty well in The Sims 1, and have been interested in seeing how my TS1 strategic homes work in TS4.

I love doing the Rags to Ritches on new packs & expansions 😊
This is a nice way to play Sims love it ! I will try with 2 Sims live in outdoors.
Well this was the 1st video of this kind I've seen. Well played Carl! Happy New Decade!🎉
Happy 2020 Deandra!
taking toddlers or pets on a camping trip is a nightmare due to the bathing issue
Just get the wooden bathtub
now I have the desire to turn Newcrest into a tent city. Maybe turn a big lot into a kind of commune.
I know it’s old already, but could you make a video about Outdoor Retreat? It would be especially interesting to see how it interacts with the features of Snowy Escapes and Seasons.
Tent city is how all my (failed) immortal dynasty challenges begin.
I'm ashamed to admit that in 10 years I've never tried a legacy/dynasty beyond the second generation.
Haha that dog omg very funny again!
Thank u for the video.. Can u make one on Vampires & plant sims ? ☺
I've built complete outdoor bathrooms surrounded by decorative hedges for my "loves outdoors" sims
I'm currently playing a history challenge which thus far has been mostly outside. The most annoying thing is the pets constantly getting sprayed by skunks and bitten by squirrels in the pee bushes!!
I turned off Seasons after playing it for one day. I loved the idea of snow and Christmas once a year...but not much else about it.
First of all, I loved the video, I've tried doing things like this in the Sims 2 and 3, but certain items (toilets needed walls) so that made outdoor living difficult.

Also lol poor Dennis Kim attacked by dog
This was so fun!
Love this so much,I’m cracking up 😂
Thanks for the tips.
I wanna make a homeless area filled with tents and people living in them lol

I just started a game like this the other day. So far his primary source of income is selling autographs to collectors.
This is hilarious. If you can conbine more entertaining scene like Patty from the Patchy video that will be very funny
Carl I love you!!!!😂🤣😂"I can't remember due to a mid life crisis". Your crisis is not funny. I am sorry about that it's just the way you said it. Been using your website for years!!!!! So glad I found your you tube! Thank you for all the information over the years 💝💝💝
I like these tip out how to survive without a house in the game.
the thunderstorms always burn my tents
Notice how you switched to the dog CAS before saying ‘roughing’ it. I see what you did there, lol
This is so much fun! You gave me a new gameplay idea! This is way better than sims 4 challenges.
At 1:09 What pack is that pond from? The one he clicked on and it gave him two options. Been wanting to stock custom ponds with fish in TS4.

Sure, Debbie. Glad you enjoyed it.
With the new update can we live in the worlds that were only 4 vacation ??
Actual rag to riches
Lol, my husband always complains that this is usually how I play.
Hey Carl! I need to ask you, when you make a sim, you have the traits right? Well then there is little catalogs of traits on top with little icons, I only have the first page of traits and it’s been like this since I’ve got it, any ideas why? I play on console by the way, to be specific, PlayStation.
If you only see about 10, then you're only seeing the emotional (first) traits tab. Examples of non-emotional traits you should definitely have would be loves the outdoors or snob. If it's just active, romantic and creative for example there should be additional tabs you can access somehow. The PS4/Xbox have all the same base game traits you'll find on PC. I don't have TS4 installed on my playstation at the moment due to space issues and mostly playing on PC but I'd expect you either change those tabs manualy or use the L1/R1 buttons while in the trait selection area.
Do you not see the icons for the different tabs (paint, sail boat, and champagne glasses) above the traits listing or are they there and not working?
Firstly, thank you for replying! And I do see the glass and all of those tabs on top but it won’t let me press on them, I’ll try again with the L1/L2 again and I’ll tell you if it works.
The dog made me laugh 🤣
I can't find a pee bush, where do I find it?
"I barely know how things work in Cats and Dogs due to a potential midlife crisis..." Lol what?
♡♡♡♡
People be like these cabins are pretty pricey to go camping with but if you’re willing to pay the money go ahead!
