building a sims house that's *completely* off the grid (no power or water!)

You could adopt a toddler or child so you don’t have to deal with the infant stage but you can still get an extra hand for the farm

"The last thing we need right now is a baby to take care off, but also when they grow up they could help us on the farm" the ancestors from earlier centuries with 20 kids and a farm were just whispering in your ear

The 20 kids was also so they would have adult children, and not just a graveyard.

not simsie posting an off grid build as I’m in my 4th hour of a very weird power outage where everything works except for the lights 👀

[@jiggslypuff4429]

Have you checked the lights in your fuse box? Sounds really odd for everything else to be working!

[@gritty8955]

it might be a tripped breaker if it's only one thing/area. hope u get it fixed :)

[@limeparticle]

It was a wider problem than just my building, somehow one of three phases had failed in my street. Of course I checked the fuse box and flipped all the switches on and off before calling maintenance and the power company. As well as checking the building basement to make sure there weren’t any shenanigans going on 😅 The lights just came back on, I’m definitely interested to hear what the problem ended up being! Cute side note - I had a flashlight, and somehow my cats also got hold of a flashlight, I had an extra one sitting on a kitchen counter that they had never shown any interest in before this!

[@moldykiwii]

[@ninalol9893]

Hey! You should put patchy down! He always helps with the gardening stuff and he can help clean. A little silly, but I always put him on my farm plays. It can get overwhelming, but at least you don’t have to tell him what to do. ALSO! Make friends with the birds, they will come and help eat the bugs if you enable gardening help. ❤

[@l4ma.a]

who or what is patchy

[@Kukka-if8ld]

@@l4ma.a He is the scarecrow! I think its in base game

[@ninalol9893]

@ patchy is the scarecrow that comes with seasons! He is just a decorating item but if your sim interacts with him and talks with him, he will come to life. He tends to farm work and cleaning for a couple of hours and then goes back to rest on his post until the next day! It’s nice to have him when you got big ambitions for a farm life but don’t want to have to control everyone. ALSO! To make a gardening club that meets at your house lol.

If you place the roof piece away and then put the thatched roof decoration, then put the roof piece back, it should be at the correct height. Hope this helps😊

[@cassidyhausmann-mason4537]

So, I work for my local historical society, and one of the things we do is maintain this old farm and farmhouse. The house was built in the 1870s, but the family lived there from the 1850s (they had a log cabin at first) up until the 1980s, when the last of them left the farm to the historical society in her will. The reason I bring this up is that there's this old hutch in the kitchen, and it's unsubstantiated, but there's a family myth that it was built with the wood from the wagon that brought the first family members down the Oregon Trail. And that hutch actually looks quite similar to that little desk! So it might be simple, but it looks suitably rustic and old fashioned!

[@kristink23]

❤❤❤❤ Love the history

[@xoderota]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Kayla actually has a history degree? So she might appreciate this comment a lot, I hope she sees it

[@skyecorruwuption9219]

[@oceangames4433]

Really hoping this becomes a series like the nightmares legacy challenge! 🤞🏻

[@Mkkslider]

I always forget about this cottage living feature so im putting this here: you can do errands for henford on bagley townies and they might give you special upgrade parts for upgrading barns and coops and stuff! The errands can be kinda tricky but really fun for the stories that come with them, so maybe it could be a fun addition to this series! Love this vid simsie!

[@MsAntares3]

No but this farmhouse looks so good! Can't wait for the next part of this series! 😍 Goat name suggestions: Ramsey and Butter.

[@acebildz1253]

After your first episode, I started my own off-the-grid challenge. I gave her a tent, a pond, a fire pit and some prairie grass. She now has a 64 tile house and 200K. She's thriving. She has 4 solar panels, 4 wind turbines and one water collector. I had to laugh when I realized I recreated my husbands childhood, because his family lived off the grid for a couple of years when his dad had a mid-life crisis, and moved them up onto a mountain. They built a cabin with no power or running water. My husband peed into a funnel... That was the extent of the indoor plumbing. The girls in the family had to use the outhouse. They were never able to be fully sustainable, but the stories his family has are amazing. Needless to say, he goes out of his way to make sure we live very comfortably. Scarred for life. 🤣

my little guy's litterbox is actually next to the front door too, the entryway is his space in general (it's pretty big) and it's definitely pretty neat for taking it out, never thought about how it could affect guests but we also don't get that many 😅 it's a purely practical choice

Something with a functional well for water, of grid wood burning sauna (which also could be use as a heater) and generally more od timey/wood burning stuff. Maybe even wood chopping as a chore for it. And yes, lakeside lots would be awesome.

I started an off the grid/simple living save after watching your first video and since then I've *just* finished a year in the game. My sim is a spellcaster so my goal was to build up a successful farm and have the next generation be able to fully devote themselves to magic. But actually because of the boosts given to micro and tiny houses my sim was able to build up so many skills that helped make money (she's not rich but she's not poor)quickly that she had time to become a Virtuoso spellcaster. She married Morgyn Ember and they now have a toddler. She's been abducted by aliens twice on the farm and Morgyn just got abducted as well and might be pregnant 😂 She also had a shotgun wedding before she married Morgyn but the first husband got eaten by her cowplant (I've never seen one in the sims so I didn't realise it could kill your sim), but then he was a really helpful ghost who worked on the farm so it worked out well 😂 Anyway, thanks for the inspiration to start a new game! ❤

If you’re playing off the grid, investing in bees is so worth it! Also the wind turbines on the ground can break but not the ones on the roof

[@nicholaswhite8418]

Do you know what I think would be really cool for your next let’s play. Is you create a family. You split them. And you alternate each episode with the different family. So for example one side of the family is destined to have a nice house and career. But then the other side one member is a bit of an outcast. Maybe you could have storyline that they got bitten and became a werewolf and so now live off the grid in their own place. Or anything so one episode you play with werewolf’s other episode you play normally or vice versa could be any combination. This series is fun great video as always 🙂

[@Dancelle.s]

you should name the goat Melvin

[@Frankiegyul]

Name the goats and sheep after herbs - basil, sage, rosemary etc 🙂‍↕️
