we've been doing this ALL WRONG....The Sims 4: Rags To Riches HARD MODE - Part 4

It was a GOOD day for August. He managed to actually progress in his skill and grow some food! We discovered some not so great news tho...but. BUT. Something....green happens later on? Will this drive August to give up, or will he um...grow with this opportunity?
The Sims 4 Rags to Riches challenge has one simple goal: have 1 sim make 1 Million simoleons, but what if we made it harder? Here are the rules that I am following to make it more difficult for myself:
1. Lot Challenges have to be Simple Living/Off the Grid.
2. Can ONLY have crafted or reclaimed furniture. Nothing bought from build mode. (May use LittleMissSams more craftables mod!)
3. May replace damaged/burnt items once a day.
4. No jobs or odd-jobs.
5. End Goal: to have at least 1,000,000 Simoleans.

The moment he turned into plant sim, I just lost it. Of course that would happen in a Rags to Riches Hardcore. This series is comedy gold.

[@luccaowens]

Ya know I didn't expect it to happen but I'm glad it did because ✨drama✨

[@blahblahblahEMILY]

He keeps peeing himself because he’s eating the harvestables!

[@luccaowens]

He's just regular I guess!! Lol

[@cassieclarke4845]

I don't think she was swiping from you. She was pulling your weeds

[@luccaowens]

She was being helpful here I was slandering her lol

[@annegallagher4005]

To have fresh stuff in the dumpster, when it's empty, just put something in it like your paint... just one and it will refill the dumpster quiet a bit 😉

[@luccaowens]

I didn't know the paint worked! That's good to know!

[@annegallagher4005]

@@luccaowens you can use everything you normally throw into the bin, like plates or dog poop... you get the gist!

Yeh August for becoming a plant sim! Lucca, he has a high enough skill to craft a shower. That would be good enough until he levels up. My struggle was getting a bed that wasn't going to possibly kill my Sim or It was $4500 simoleons to fix. Vampires and Tiny living. SMH. Waing for episode 5 of August's Struggle

[@luccaowens]

Let me tell you I would have gone mad if he didn't find the bed so soon!

[@SARPhotography27]

It’s driving me crazy!!! Buy a dam toilet! It’s one exception.

[@HonestInsightsTarot]

Omg. The toilet thing is better as a plant sim, but everything else is harder. They need water, but they also need sun, but the sun drains their hydration so then they need water, sun, water, sun. It's a pain. Good luck? lol. I hate playing as a plant sim. I hope you enjoy it more than I would.

[@luccaowens]

Yeah....I've learned it the hard way lol. Definitely a fun change up to gameplay tho? Right? 😅 I'll regret this I'm sure lol

[@HonestInsightsTarot]

@@luccaowens Hopefully the ten days just whooshes by.

[@melissaanderson7940]

🤣🤣 that worked out well. Enjoying this let's play so much. Can't wait to see more.

[@luccaowens]

I'm glad you enjoy it!! I'm having so much fun!!

[@colleendarley9019]

Playing catch up! I really need to turn off wants/fears in my game play. Some of them make zero sense for my Sim. Like telling her to flirt with Yuki but when i did it my Sim hates flirting.

[@luccaowens]

i miss whims so badly now!! even if the wants/fears are kinda funny sometimes!!

[@BlackBlood74]

the chaos!! 😂 Do any of the neighborhood areas have those fabric printers to make rugs? You could also make stuff for your home there. Also if you can tinker and upgrade stuff at other people's homes maybe you could get the handiness skill faster.

[@luccaowens]

i could go to bess sterling's house! she apparently has everything you need!!!

[@ryttu3k]

Ooh man he is having a TIME. I'm trying a similar one now because this looks fun/kind of agonising (off the grid, but not simple living, still avoiding buying from the catalogue for most stuff other than building supplies, a trash can, and dew collectors/solar panels), and I have Learned Things! First, eating fresh produce sometimes gives Sims a, er, gastrointestinal distress moodlet, so if he's eating a lot of his produce, that'd be why he needs the toilet so much. It's the little stomach symbol. I made things easier on my poor Sim and gave them a poohoo bush to start with, so that covered that, at least! The bathtub you can construct, tragically, is NOT off-the-grid compatible. You'll need a dew collector for it. There was a lot of showering at gyms until I remembered I was allowing myself to buy those, haha (I was lucky and got an off-grid toilet and sink pretty early on, although it was a bed that took absolutely ages, and naps on sofas and park benches do NOT cut it!) Yeah, the Greenbergs come around constantly and actually help with gardening! It's quite sweet of them, haha. Ooh yes, Plantsim looks super useful for this challenge! I hope he has planty of fun ;D

[@oleolsen1073]

Just remembered ,in the sims2 a plantsim had only 2 needs; sun a water 😊

[@nikolaasdigi]

I just Discovery your channel! And I love it. The Sims 4 on hardrode is amazing but it feels like cheating because the game is too damn easy otherwise. 😊I subbed✌️

[@eekns]

I think you can buy “fear be gone”in the rewards store.

[@luccaowens]

I eventually disabled them lol they frustrate me anymore 😅

[@lifewithrissa181]

U Forgot ur Sausage & Peppers. 😂

[@johnboylovesyou]

If you do the move objects cheats, you can put both trees and 5 plants in the planter boxes

[@luccaowens]

Wait that's good to know!!! Thanks!!

[@samanthawood9102]

Just wondering do you have the freegen trait it helps get better things out of the dumpster.

[@luccaowens]

I wanted to give him traits that wouldn't make it easy lol but I didn't know that!!! That's good to know!!

[@samanthawood9102]

@@luccaowens no problem just thought I would let you know but i understand wanting it to be hard makes things more fun.
