fabrication is the WORST skill in The Sims 4

[@jdotmi]

Recycling does indeed give you money for expensive items. The easiest way to stock up on bits and pieces (and money) is woodworking! Craft items, recycle them, fabricate items with the results and sell for even more profit. Once you can make things like the bathtub on the woodworking table you are printing bits & pieces and money at the same time.

It's only been in my most recent game that the recycling has started giving me random money. It never did that before, just gave bits and pieces. I've not had good luck with the fabricator either - eats me about half the time, lol. Thank you for sharing the Snap-Cam!!! On a side note - my Sim was walking by a toy box. I clicked to see if it had anything in it, and the option 'Rummage for Marbles' came up. On a whim, I tried it and pulled out a marble worth 2500...Of course I thought of Stanley and wondered, can you get rich on marbles?

[@junerussell6972]

@@matthewboyajian9593 About the only thing I want added to TS4 is hotels and bands (with the ability to have groups with a singer.) Otherwise, I think I'm pretty much done with what I'd like to see in the game. Although I don't want any more occults in my game, I'd probably buy a fairy pack (if they had CAS and BB I wanted.) I considered the Future pack in TS3 to be "jumping the shark" so I would rather they didn't do a pack like that. I'd be ok with BB in a kit for that, however. Otherwise I wouldn't buy it. TS4 has *so* much going on with it. There are many things I've barely played with. (I recently decided to have a Sim live in Sulani. I'd used Sulani for fishing but never for living. I also had her do the Conservation career. That's been fun.) Whenever I feel like I'm in a rut, it's always easy to find something I haven't done other than barely touching on it. So, it always has "something new" for me to do. I watch a lot of the KZbinrs. It's amazing how they often have no clue about something that exists in the game even though they play it for a living.

[@fatherflyntdraws]

I don’t really use the gameplay. I like the furniture and how it’s more modern, especially the windows which I use all the time. I just hate that a ton of the sidings, especially the ones I like, have industrial footprint. I wish they only put the footprint thing on the eco lifestyle items :(

[@Eventide215]

I like that the world is more dynamic in how it can change based on what's voted for. I just don't like how things have different footprints just from having it. Other than that, Eco Lifestyle is fun. It's fun doing a rags to riches where you literally start out dumpster diving. I like to imagine my sim is just having a tough time and is now rummaging through dumpsters to survive then finds out Sims throw away some ridiculous things and ends up getting rich off of it.

[@sarahlamper5701]

Do you know how using the solar panels and stuff works so that you get money BACK and dont pay when bills are used? I was trying to finish the aspiration and no matter how many solar panels or how many water collections I used, I was constantly paying and couldn't finish the aspiration. I ended up just giving up. I tried looking it up online but nothing was very specific on what exactly needed to be done

[@Eventide215]

@@sarahlamper5701 To get money back I think you have to actually set it in the bill information to sell off excess power. You click on the mail box to see the bill information and there you set it to store the excess or sell it. The issue is the solar panels and turbines don't generate much at all. For a house with like 4 sims you're going to need likely at least 2 solar panels per sim.. I think it's 1 water collector per sim? So basically you want to cover your roof in solar panels if you want to actually make money back. If you're on PC, there are mods that increase how much the power and water generators create. You might want to look around at those.

[@janehuskmann1914]

I have a few tips b/w tricks for general remuneration, much less rags to riches: 1: Lot traits b/w challenges can make or break some difficulty. Wild prairie grass from that challenge can be's sold for 5 simoleons per patch; off the grid & the reduce and recycle one can respectively small down utility costs & provide some recyclables (or occasionally items to sell/use). Penny pixies & utility productions can certainly make a dent in the cost've living. Also, skilling traits are a dime a dozen, for lot traits. 2: Some cheap options in Eco Lifestyle definitely help out here, especially when they give tax breaks, such as Thindows, Infinite Windows for large windows, & Just Enough Door. It also costs little to place the hexagonal paneling that doesn't look bad, and it costs nothing to restyle a roof. 3, since you mentioned it: Consider checking to see if your residential lot counts as a tiny home. You'd be's surprised, such as that camper over in StrangerVille counting as a tier 2 for a moderate amount've benefits.

[@KatzeRegi]

From my (limited) endeavours with the fabricator: If it does not work it may be because you don't have enough materials. Iirc it doesn't give you a notification (or any indication at all) that it failed because of that. It just closes the selection window on clicking a recipe you can't afford

[@barbaraelliott3510]

There's a loop throwing stuff away in the trash bin that can get extra bits and pieces. After your household has generated some trash in the trash bin you can search it for bits and pieces which creates a trash pile that you can salvage for parts. After you salvage for parts you throw the remaining pile away and start again. Bits and pieces, salvage for parts, bits and pieces, salvage for parts until there is no trash left to take to the outside bin.

[@marljusweety]

I remember playing the first (or second?) sims game and trying my hardest to get my sims to approve of the house decor, as they entered each room and shook their heads at everything I put in there. It took me a while to realise that they liked things based on pure value, not aestethics, and after that I refused to adjust to their wishes because the expensive walls, floorings and furniture was always the most hideous options and I always tried to play without rosebud or motherlode. Now I hardly need to cheat, the options for making money are abundant. And your sims disagreeing with your decor choices wont hinder your advancing the game as it used to. The Stanley Humphries series are a testiment to that. 😂

I think the greyed out options are the ones you don't have the skill yet to make and the blue ones are the one you are able to. And if you move your mouse over the fabricator it shows how many bits n pieces you have. But they should've made the pieces amount a different color.

I like the Fabricator. I also like the colors of the furniture. It is possible to make a modern house with black furniture. I built a white container house with a wooden outbuilding. Inside I have parts of a white container, wood, light green furniture, somewhere blue and yellow. A freelance career pays well, there is no point in using paints, they are not taken into account in the cost of the item. A single dining table costs 550 simoleons. 3/10 attempts were unsuccessful from skill level 1 to 3. I improved my skill and handiness skills (?) , after which I could give my Sim a task to do 5 things in a row, and I went to make tea, everything was fine. For variety, I installed a mod that allows you to create paint from plants. By the way, I haven't seen an upgrade installed in the Recycler. He can refund part of the money for recycled furniture, even if it was found in a dumpster.

Heylooo so I rarely ever comment on videos. But I wanted to say a few things so here I am! I think you are very funny and it makes me smile when you get all excited and passionate about things in your videos. Even when you get frustrated or embarrassed you manage to seem so jovial about it. I've seen you rage quit a few times (like with the Sims 3 house build glitch/crash) and idk it's just really refreshing to see someone be the way you are. Okay random compliment over. Nextly-er-ish, I'm glad your cat is okay. I was an only child (due to death of my sibling) so when my parents let me rescue a cat that needed help it really gave me such a boost in quality of life. She was like my sister and best friend. She was so smart and funny and just made life bearable when I felt super alone. She came into my life when I was around 6 and she lived for 21 years and they were really good years until the very very end. So I just want to make it known that probably lots of folks love their cat as much as you do, if they don't then maybe they don't need a cat. I would have lost it entirely had Bat-bat gotten cancer and I found out in front of a huge group. I don't do well with much attention anyway so I commend you for your strength and honesty. And I also wanted to reassure you that although contending with our furry family's mortality is hard, there could be many many wonderful years left for you and your cat. I had 21 and I feel like I was very lucky. But I've known cats others had that lived just as long and even longer! I bet she will live to be a very old granny cat with someone to love her like you do. Okaaaay now done with the sappy stuff! Lastly. I love your Stanley videos. They always make me laugh and I almost always learn something new from them. I had quit playing the Sims for quite a while but your videos made me re-download it and get back into the fun. I hadn't played since I think right before the pets dlc came out so it was like stepping into a new world! Anyway sorry for the long rambles, you probably won't even see it but just in case you did I wanted to pop in and say all these words at you 😅 I hope you keep posting when you want to and I hope your kitty breaks records for how long of a life they live! Sincerely, -the crazy cat woman (I have 7 atm and will likely end up rescuing more if I level up and can afford to feed more, haha) 26:17 26:17

I find that if you fabricate at the makers place, and ask one of the makers/recycling gurus to teach whilst you build, you get the focused moodlet and don't get swallowed up as much... Also you need almost as much compostable items as bits as pieces, so recycle fish, dirty plates, anything really...

I never have gotten money from recycling, but I haven't tried since a few patches ago. My first thought was that the "voting for profit/modern development". I want to try it now tho. Also, there are some recipes you can only get from "enthusing about frabrication" wich includes the regular Sofa. There also a few locked behind the career from the pack. Edit. I also never dumpster dive. Since I play with families, I just get stuff from rewards in careers, or woodcrafted objects to recicle.

I have done this myself and the only ways I found to make it really work well is for a Sim to have the Freegan trait, get them to sort recyclables and electronic etc and then use the recycling machine and use those. Plants give you a lot of the 'pieces' and also a quicker way to make money is by making a lot of the Voodoo dolls - they are very quick to make and don't need a high level and sell for 500 each - but in around 6 mins your Sim could make between 15-25 so it does add up

If you need to protect important or expensive outdoor objects from lightning strikes and want to limit your tiles for a particular tiny home tier, you could make a room, add a roof, delete the room, and then add columns to the roof, or just put a roof on top of an existing structure if there is one and extend it over anything you want to protect, adding columns to taste. :) You could also substitute columns for walls or fencing as long as there's a gap, like for a doorless doorway.

I was playing with the fabricator pretty recently, trying to do the aspiration and everything.

Hi Simsie! I would love to see u do the Tiny Town Challenge

[@amandapedia]

I played through Eco Lifestyle in both the Rainbow Legacy and Sims in Bloom Legacy, and I had a lot of fun with both of them. It was awesome seeing the area develop, but I wish there was a maker career that was rabbithole.....I don't want to control my sims all the time. :)

My favorite thing to do with fabrication skill is opening a workshop + furniture store. I just wish we could craft much more furniture in different styles.

I’m literally preparing the world to play this pack now. Been working on the building community lots for a week.

I made a sim that set out to build a legacy with stuff he only made with his two hands and I ended up basically exclusively using the woodworking table because the fabrication skill is such a pain to use. Between the bits and pieces and the failures, it's brutal. I have never used it since then.

That’s were you need that lot trait were people to dump trash on your lot at well. Free stuff to recycle

[@sabina3192]

I love when you do videos like this, I'm thinking of buying a new pack, but I can't chose, so this helps me a lot

[@gracejohnson8761]

I would love to see a video of you reviewing every rags to riches that Stanley has done and comparing them, kind of like the woohoo spot video

Best way my sims get bits and pieces in using a normal indoors trash can to rummage for them. Also I have a good return from recycling the trash piles instead of putting them in the dumpster. 😊

Vlad seeing Stanley rolling around in the dumpster and then deciding maybe he doesn't want a taste of that took me out 😂
