Im at your bathroom reno and I just want to recommend again going dumpster diving! I know its harder with a kiddo; i rarely leave the house as the family gets bigger, too. But the dumpster diving gets you decent bathtubs and such for next to nothing. I also love using some of the tiny living bathroom shelf. Im wondering with your outdoor plants if that little tent thing means your plants are sheltered, which would be cool. Also, the CC playmats are adorable! Im so jealous! Tip for handiness: you can upgrade baby's crib (and changing table) with a mobile to help baby sleep.

Thank you. I keep meaning to check out the dumpster since I added it to the laundromat. MY ADHD brain just forgets things that are out of sight. I am hoping that the shelter will work. I'll make some notes for next episode to check on both of those thing. I definitely will be adding a mobile to the crib, I think the only thing that stopped me from doing it was the cost lol. I keep spending all her money.

The poor quality item: I had my sim do a crossstitch and sell it at the table even though she only sold food previously. She never did crossstitch. I found lots of ghosts in newcrest and some in Tomorang. The better the food is, people will come back to eat it even after death.

Good morning! Personally, I love gardening and carrying a death flower through your legacy wouldn't be a bad thing. You can pick up an orchid pretty easily, imo, especially if you run through the next romance festival and harvest the plants there. I also always do 14 day seasons. You can adjust it in the game play options.

Gabs will definitely be at the next romance festival so I will be sure to check for them there. Hopefully less hectic than the last one where I know I totally forgot about the harvestables. 🙃 Thanks! I couldn't remember where the option to change the seasons were. Thanks so much again for all the tips. You're a gem.

I'm excited to see her as an infant, too. I'm gonna fight the urge of aging her up in CAS to see how she grows up. But I want to be surprised with everyone else. That's a nice reward. I know certain packs let you summon grim too, but having a base game option is always a good idea.

Hi sweetie! Ive been having UI issues since the Grim event because of the UI cheats mod, so when i pulled it out it worked again. Personally im pretty pleased with the battle pass right now. Have you tried travelling with the M key? I use it now and its a good bit faster. For the graveyard, i use the empty lot in magnolia promenade and make it a formal graveyard. Ps - if you live in Florida, i hope yoire safe from the storm!

Heyyy~ I downloaded the most recent version of UI cheats and it seems to be working better now. But I don't know if that's the case for everyone. Sorry if I sounded negative about the Reapers Rewards. It's mostly due to bad experiences from other games killing my enthusiasm for this type of thing, but I definitely don't want to kill anyone's vibe and am happy to hear you're enjoying it! Traveling with the M key? I don't think I've tried that before. I will test it out and report back. :) I've been playing with the idea of having a formal graveyard too but haven't settled on it and if this new expansion has anything to do with graveyards I'll definitely make a special one for this save file. Magnolia Prominade and Newcrest are great places for that kind of thing. Thank you! I'm safe, we had some flooding near by but nothing too bad in my neighborhood. Now everything seems to be back to business as usual.

I think she should have a science baby with Bentley (if he’s okay with it of course). Freddy is obviously adorable but I really don’t think we can let Gabriella and Bentley’s genes go to waste lol! Love this series!
@SkyandThreadGaming
@SkyandThreadGaming 29 күн бұрын
I agree, I don't want to lose out on those good genes either. lol I'm leaning on this option pretty heavily now. From a story perspective I think Gabi could convince him that if he has his hands full, she would take on the responsibility of a science baby all on her own. So he should be okay with that (since I think sims always say yes to science babies if you're friends?).
@summertime69
@summertime69 Ай бұрын
Ok, so on the baby situation... i like the idea of a friend of Bently's getting into some trouble so he adopts their baby... maybe his best friend had a baby but then passed in a car accident or something and he was the god parent. I think its sweet because yeah, he didnt exactly have a choice but stepped up to help Freddie. You can still marry him and make that family. Also, just because he doesnt want his girlfriend to have a baby now doesnt mean he wont think differently when Freddie is a little older. Maybe he did want a kid, but not right now and this one was thrust upon him due to unfortunate circumstances and theyre all making it work. Idk, i like the idea. Also, i think incognito party is the halloween event you were looking for.
@SkyandThreadGaming
@SkyandThreadGaming Ай бұрын
I like that. Working in a story connection of why he would suddenly have this baby and be overwhelmed by the thought of having another right now makes a lot of sense. I just think Gabrielle is very adamant about starting her own family as soon as possible so this may be a point of contention between them. That is where I'm torn, as if they moved in together Gabrielle would end up raising Freddy as their own and be happy with that (and probably still want more children down the line as well), or she would go her own way and try to have a child with someone else. She's pretty close to having the financial stability to do that now. Bentley being such a kind soul makes this harder to decide! lol Thank you! I'll look into that one. I also think maybe I should get the spooky stuff pack because that one may have come with the costume party I'm thinking of.

Sorry. I was away from my computer last week. By closet are you talking about Create as Sim? There is a mod called "more columns in CAS" by weerbesu on patreon. For multiple outfits you just click on the buttons at the top (the ones that switch from everyday to formal, hot weather, cold, etc) right above those you'll see a number above where you can add up to 5 different outfits per category. I'll show in the next Joy of Life upload so I can explain how to do it.

Hey hun! Happy Saturday! For fun: don't forget you can listen to earbuds and keep the fun up that way. I haven't seen earbuds satisfy the "listen to" want, but I usually use the UI or MCCC mod to complete them when I think I deserve it. My dates also keep leaving me and I don't know what to do about that, either... Keep in mind the romance festival has produce! Usually dragon fruits depending on the season. I'm glad you're seeing more success with your selling table. :)

I was definitely doing something wrong before and the difference is night and day!

I'm glad you find my suggestions helpful. Please know you do not have to take any if them if you dont want to. I was looking at your kitchen, I like that top cabinet with the dishes over the sink. I wonder if maybe turning your dining room table into a 2-seater against the wall might save you some space and you can see some chairs? Especially with that outdoor table/chairs. Personally, I think a boyfriend who dislikes cooking is fine because you get to cook. I hate cooking, so I'd love for my partner to enjoying cooking. Just a quick reminder about the dumpsters, you can make bank diving and repairing the appliances you get. You may find that if there are restaurants in the world, you can take pictures of experimental food and use that decor in your kitchen to get inspired. You can reduce the cost of food making by having ingredients (harvest around town?) And getting a mixer to premake the dough. I also think (but need to check) that the home hustle table does sell individually. I noticed you're struggling with rewards points. Just know fulfilling Whims will help get more points. I *think* at hardiness 2 you can start to upgrade sinks. Don't quote me on that. I'll catch you next week :)

I adore the make overseas you've given to some of these townies! Many of them are gorgeous and you had a lot of patience going in and editing all of them before even starting! I'm not sure if I mentioned last week, bit you should try clicking on the Sims during a street sale and giving a "sales pitch". It will probably go faster and sell more :) I want that HOB bar in my game! Thanks for showing off the creator. I'm gonna add a dumpster though. While you were building that porch I kept being like "no, on the side!" And had to remind myself, it's not my build... then you move it, haha! I was thinking, maybe Gabrielle should do a week or so in the culinary career to get a couple of build items for the kitchen. The sink and a knife rack decor gives inspiration mood which can help make better food. Also also, my favorite siding isn't actually siding... it's a wood paneling from Spa day. You may like it, too!
@SkyandThreadGaming
@SkyandThreadGaming Ай бұрын
Thank you for all the kind words about the townies. I'm so happy you like them. As far as the sales, I used to try sales pitch in older saves, but -- at least for me -- I don't find it sells any more than I do without it. I have the same issue with owning a retail business too. It could just be something I have in my game conflicting? But I just kind of gave up on all the extra interactions after a while. A future generation will be in the culinary career so I've been saving some of the gameplay for them. But it would be super helpful to dip into it for those items. Thanks again for all the tips!

❤ hi sweetie! I'm glad there's another episode of this, especially doing some reno on the house. I love some build videos! Your thumbnails look great :) A few tips: You can paint a whole wall by holding "alt" on your keyboard. There are hardiness tables in several places, including the arts center in San Myshuno, so maybe set up a stand there, then spend some time practicing hardiness- upgrading those appliances will go a long way. You may also be able to set a lot challenge for yourself that will break appliances more often for you to repair. Plus, skill books! When you're doing a street sale, you may be more successful by clicking on the Sims and doing "give sales pitch." Angela is from the original Sims, and in 4, she comes with university with her twin sister. When you play the family in 2, the dad is having an affair with the maid! Scandalous!

I, too, love digging for things. Around desert bloom I do a full loop on the edge on the world, including across the street. If you max your hardiness skill, you can get into that cave behind desert bloom park. On your home lot, check by the river bank and behind the houses around the neighbors across the street. Don't sleep on the landgraab's neighborhood either. It takes time to spawn, but behind both houses and down behind the landgraabs have lots of cool rocks.
