is it possible to get rich from SHELLS in the sims?

[@MeowMette]

I'll never get tired of this man in a hot dog suit trying to be rich. I hope you'll combine all The money he's ever gotten from these and build an actual House for him :D

You can actually comb for seashells anywhere, you just have to use the sand terrain paint. I often use it in parks for an extra toddler activity.

[@MissLiliDelaney]

WHAT?? OMG it's such a great idea! Thank you for sharing that I had no clue and I I've been playing the sims 4 for years!

[@unassuming_llamas653]

Yep and Sims can build sand castles on the terrain paint too :) So you can basically make a sand box using some low fence and a square of sand paint.

[@lizzlocke3130]

that's a great idea!

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

That's good to know for that random odd job request for shells...don't have to travel to do it.

[@marekm7749]

I created a sandbox for my toddler in San Sequoia and was surprised that I can search for seashells. I was even more surprised when I realised that my toddler made a lot of money :D

[@Meggie_B]

Lilsimsie, can you do a video ranking Stanley’s get-rich-quick schemes? Like what are the best and which were the worst for playing, earning, etc. I think it would be fun

[@angelicaanna2249]

Needed tier list

[@sommerjean7698]

Great idea 💡

[@mogfoil]

Stanley sells seashells on the seashore…

[@micha0278]

But the value of these shells will fall

[@SuperSone]

Due to the laws of supply and demand, no one wants to buy a shell, cuz there's loads on the sand.

[@micha0278]

Step 1: You must create a sense of security, shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare you see, bare with me

Digging for seashells is a *fantastic* side hustle for a couple reasons: you can do it on any patch of sand in any world (including sand boxes on your home lot), AND *even toddlers can do it*. Yes, you can make your toddlers earn their keep.

[@selkiefluff]

The cave is where you're supposed to get the seaweed that turns you into a mermaid (you can also get it from the reward store or scuba diving I think?). That being said, I've never managed to get it from there. Always opt for buying it.

[@WelcomeApathy]

You have to have your sim do it so many freaking times to get the Mermaid Kelp. I have a semi-super sim that doesn't need to sleep or go the bathroom, so I took him there and just had him keep going in over and over again. I did manage to get the kelp.

I ask again: "Can you get rich by cutting prairie grass?"

[@zombievariant]

You definitely can but I would love to see her do that video.

[@Eventide215]

She's already shown that you very easily can when the pack came out. She just didn't do a whole Stanley video on it and I'd assume that's because it was pretty much proved there.

[@rachelmarylani]

Yes. Love prairie grass

[@Nightfire613]

You can also get shells, treasures, AND underwater prints from diving. I have a mermaid sim that I entirely fund her life through diving, ESPECIALLY since mermaids don’t need the really expensive diving equipment, only the much cheaper camera, knife, and spear.

[@emmatfink]

I’m dying to see what Stanley’s face tan line looks like 😂

[@agentbex34]

Island Living is one of my favorite packs almost purely because of how pretty I think the world is. I'm also biased because I really just like mermaids and everything beachy, so this was a fun video for me.

[@baileyrodgers433]

Stanley needs to do a “finish the collection” series. Like a rags to riches spin off

[@ladyraritatum]

Oooh okay I love that idea, and to build on that, because some of those collections can take a lot of time and effort, what if it was a Stanley legacy sort of deal, and all the heirs' names would have to start with Stan- like Stanford, Stanthony, Stanuel, Stanexander, Stannifer, Stanfany, etc etc...

[@thesourpatchkidd579]

I like when you do these because we get to learn about some of the more obscure things you cand do in the sims. I didn't even know you could beach comb or that there were collectibles in Sulani- recently I learned that you can watch baby turtles hatching in Sulani and if you swim enough in the ocean, a shark might appear.

[@UnassumingLlama]

Wait I had no idea a shark could appear! That’s kinda cool

[@meganchung69]

Hearing you refer to Makoa as “this guy” hurts me - he’s my sims love! Such an underrated townie!

[@Creep585]

Dude i feel that annoyance the fears. My gardener witch sim got eaten by a cow plant in the beginning so she couldn't do anything involving plants. She couldn't even harvest wild plants or water hers

[@AgataBajorska]

You know you can usually do something to make the fear go away? This is what the fourth spikey cloud next to the whims is for.

[@Eventide215]

Yeah most of the time the fears make no sense at all. They just suddenly are afraid of the most ridiculous things. Like when the system first came out it was absolutely terrible.. sims would have fears of a dead end job even though they're actively progressing in it or even maxed out.. they'd have like fears of being judged even though nothing has happened to them. Not to mention you can't even set these things at all. I'd love to be able to set that my sim just always has a fear of being judged and make it possible to get rid of that fear but for it to be hard to do. Getting rid of fears is stupidly easy.. like to get rid of the fear of swimming you just need to be confident then go swim and it's gone. If you actually have a fear of something just doing it once while confident means nothing. I feel like it should be a "skill" you build up to get rid of it.

[@clairebearcomp]

@@Eventide215to be fair the random “fear of judgement” is accurate to real life, I find it funny you want it to be harder to get rid of fears, while I find myself using UI cheats to cheat it away😭😭

[@wikitan]

I never would’ve thought simsie would get this far. SHELLS???

[@AmberLB74]

It always seems to me that sims youtubers dont seem to know that there are ways to help the fears - for this one they just need to swim whilst confident and it goes away

[@Eventide215]

It's not really told to you whatsoever that you can get rid of fears. Also, the fears seem to pop up from the dumbest things. Like literally nothing has happened to Stanley while swimming but he suddenly gets a fear of it for no reason. I think most people just disable fears because it's done terribly.

[@AmberLB74]

@@Eventide215 I see what you're saying but if you just hover over the fear it tells you how to get rid of it. You also get the fears if your sim is in a bad mood and does something- so because Stanley was in a bad mood and he swam he was then scared I think.

[@kathycakes06]

I feel like it's not that they don't know that u can get rid of fears but most probably just because it's makes it inconvenient and it's annoying to overcome sometimes

[@AmberLB74]

@@kathycakes06 Yeah I guess I just know that all of simsies legacy sims have a fear of fire and I've never seen her even mention that they can overcome it by putting the fire out

[@kathycakes06]

[@ScarlettR4364]

I was doing a RTR with flower arranging and got eaten by the cow plant twice and then was suddenly afraid of plants! The irony! 😂 Notifications that came up after that were actually quite humorous. Like the plants were planning revolt or a conspiracy. My sim was always suspicious of them.

[@mimzy1921]

this video inspired me to pick up my Globetrotter Challenge game for the first time in ages. Totally recommend that challenge, it gets you to play a lot of snowy escape, island living, strangerville, and other niche worlds.

[@foranzo1582]

There's no info on "where to find seashells" because you can look for them in any place with sand :} Also, the "ordinary" shell DOES grant you a response - you just have to be near sims to see if they response to the sound and reveal themselves as mermaids 🧜

[@ccollins2890]

As you explore the cave, keep an eye on the mural, to the right of the cave entrance, it changes (fills in) as you keep searching the game. It takes a bit, though.

[@ccollins2890]

If you clean up all the pollution, the world turns absolutely beautiful, and it triggers the turtle hatching event.

[@mrrrry616]

Wait, really?! I've cleaned up all the debris in the area my sim lived and didn't notice anything; do you have to collect all the pollution from all the different neighborhoods? Does the debris reset at 6AM each day? This is blowing my mind 😅

[@darkovikaplayssimgames]

I play this pack so often 🤣🤣 my favorite thing to do is grab a sort of Pier lot from the gallery, some of which use the ferris wheel from the high school pack, and then i’ll do like beach trips for clubs or holidays, especially in the summer. Bonfires, grilling, swimming activities, all that. I make clubs too and create beach-centric events!

[@fuzzypumpkin7743]

Looking for seashells in combination with the odd jobs can be really lucrative. The 13th gen of my 16 gen family had the one sim do beachcombing and odd jobs, while her brother taught yoga on the beach. It's no pink orchid bouquet at a 300% markup, but it's a very viable way to fund living.

[@katanah3195]

The coolest part is that IIRC toddlers can beachcomb, and you can do it on any sand terrain. I saw someone doing a "7 toddler challenge" use this to both give the toddlers a free toy in the form of sandcastle building and make a little money off the shells.

[@hannakonicki7989]

when Stanley’s job is literally beach

[@AuntyRuckus]

To get the collectibles from the cave you need skills. The higher your skill the more likely you are to get the collectible. The cave in Sulani works a lot like the gates to get to the Temple in Jungle Adventure. But the popups don't explicitly TELL you what skill you need/is being checked. I take my super sims in there when I'm in that neighborhood. They come out with something EVERY time. I've gotten everything from a fruit, to a $20 collectible, and mermaid kelp. Stanley has low/no skills. That's why he rarely gets anything.

[@saracks]

you should do a video on getting rich by being a dj!! i had a storyline about candy behr becoming a famous dj and didnt realized till i got like 100 simoleons that i could get tons of money playing

[@mizuwolf2151]

As a person who is actually afraid of the ocean, the idea of having to swim to get anywhere is terrifying. I really feel for poor Stanley in this one. On the other hand, it is kinda funny that he's decided to live on a literal island surrounded by the ocean with a fear of swimming.

[@Shell05231]

Swimming while confident for an hour fixes the fear, I had to do this as my sim got a fear of swimming looking at the kitchen sink 😅 The potion didn't work to remove it, had to overcome it. Thankfully they've now fixed that glitch lol! Oo Stanley's going up in the world he has a shower and sink! 😊 Oo yay well done for completing the collection, I need to do that, I keep forgetting about collectibles lol! I moved some of my spare Sims into this world, as she has the child of the ocean trait to explore it further, I'll make sure to have her beach comb too! 😊

[@noodlerdoodler]

How does Stanley wear a hot dog costume 24/7 and when it's too hot, he starts burning but remains in his costume? Do Sims wear their regular clothes underneath is why?
