My large Sims family gameplay routine with 2 kids, a toddler & an infant!

Playing with large families is fun.. until it isn't. We have to have a schedule or routine to control the chaos, right?

oh my god their house is so beautiful?! i love what you made with the basement. i feel like this is the most cozy, realistic family home Ive ever seen on the sims!

[@eilinelisadraaraujo4920]

It's actually from a save file, maristella save file

[@sarahleagas678]

The house is on the gallery if you search Maristella its called Boho Ranch ☺️

[@oshinsims]

It is! My favorite household from Jenba Sims Maristella save file ~ I linked it in the description too! I always come back to this family 🥹

As far as the basement, I’ve only added some kids cc - you can find that here 🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/npi7qWSCfK2Zq6c

[@ultimatequeenofdeath666]

tbh its been pretty difficult recently to play family gameplay because my sims keep cancelling actions :/

[@larascozycorner3678]

@@ultimatequeenofdeath666 I second this. Can be so annoying

[@owemeanthropology]

when Growing Together first came out I wanted to make a big family. the couple was on their 3rd pregnancy and had triplets.😳 somehow I was able to have 2 nannies, mom did freelance writing and dad worked in tech. I played everyone thru to adulthood, it was enjoyable. until one of the triplets had triplets himself. I haven't played that save since.😂

[@Jollyinha]

I must say that I LOVE how this house's furniture doesn’t really match, because it's so realistic! I'm guilty of making my houses super matchy-matchy, but having that mix of colors and styles is so real! I'm planning of doing a challenge where I get that Parenthood gallery house (which is my favorite house in the game), but completely empty, and the goal is to start from 0 simoleons and furnish it from scratch, and I'll definitely try to make this house look more realistic

[@Moshhii1]

Omgg my sims family had 5 kids 😭, I chose that chaos 💀. Raising 3 infants while both parents in college + 2 kids was a fun, messy nightmare!! 😅😭 There was NO routine at all. Tho I loved how full the house was, kids toys everywhere, a messy living room, & a homey kitchen ❤️🥹

[@itspuppycat]

I love how chaotic this turned out despite your best effort. A tip for the infants: taking care of thier needs is easier if you do it as the infant, like have the infant as to to be fed because then the caregiver sim will prioritize that task. ❤

[@khajiitnobanana2504]

When the sims just stand there while the infant is fussing, its because they can't override the cry or fuss actions the infant is doing. You can control the infant and cancel the cry/fuss action to get around it, but honestly it really feels like someone should make a mod for it.

[@astrogirl5283]

Watching toddlers walk is everything! It looks so adorable.

[@Emilee_Luna]

I love how realistic the home is, especially downstairs! That’s so comforting and cozy

[@Cleo-bl5hy]

I really appreciate the way that you see the sims and how much you enjoy the realistic aspects. Starting to feel like I was the only one who liked things to be so real in the aesthetic and gameplay. Unfortunately it isn't as real as I wish it could be because I have console version so no mods, but I try my best with what I have. Love your gameplay!

[@emiliakallio4940]

This is so realistic and I love it! I also don’t really mind when things go ”bad”, like the kids forget to do their homeworks, stay up a little too late, have arguments or confidence drops for some time. Because it’s normal day to day life. There’s good and bad times and it adds character. There’s a whole new baby and the parents are pretty busy with everything so it’s not weird that Isa is starting to be more insecure and Matty getting into trouble. Their parents can’t give them much time, but maybe a grandparent, aunt/uncle or some other adult could help out? Or other nice idea would be to take only Isa and Matty with the parents to somewhere for a day :) Family life can be chaotic and you can’t really do nothing more than prioritize what’s important. For me the Flores family feels like a tight-knit family who are going to remember the goofy conversations and family evenings, not how clean the clothes and floors were 😅 Prioritizing! Btw can I ask where is the high chair and the parents’ bed from?

[@lorraelena]

Your houses always look so comfy and lived in, like a familiar hug.

Giiiiiiirrrrrlll lol my main channel family just had twins and I'm STRESSED😅 I've never experienced this while recording and narrating and I'm considering scrapping the last video I did until I get my bearings😅

@@oshinsims ok I'll see just how chaotic it is when I start editing lol I might can save it and just be real transparent about my struggle😅

[@Cleo-bl5hy]

@@mamapsims I really like it when people are more transparent about their sims gaming experiences. Sometimes when I'm watching a KZbinr their sims seem so much easier than my own and I just can't relate. My sims are always so chaotic, no matter what storyline I'm going with lol!

[@mariz_mariz]

Don't forget about the baby carrier!! When I have an intense infant or one that needs to be close or they have a meltdown, I just put baby on mama's back and do my chores throughout the house. Baby can sleep or I can pop them out real quick for a feed if needed. It just makes things easier.

@@oshinsims No problem! I use the one by Lunamoth. It was made for historic games but I just love the old school baby wrap look!

This is interesting. I remember when infants first came, the complaint was Sims only worry about the infants. Now he's ignoring the infant. Which I'd say for real life, he's like "uh, what do I do" even though this is infant #4. I don't feel like it's a glitch. It's part of the challenge. 🤷‍♀️

Hahaha I love this 😂

[@midnight3944]

I really enjoy these types of videos. I'm the type of player who doesn't use any cheats and always has massive households so I live for the chaos lol Something I learned in my own gameplay is infant needs won't be met if they're left at home, even with other adults at the house with them. I guess the game expects you to constantly care for them manually unless they're specifically at daycare. Because of this I tend to find them more tedious then fun tbh. I'd find this aspect less aggravating if townies actually took their own infants to community lots and it wasn't just my own sim lugging theirs around everywhere all the time.

[@blessmybag]

As I watched you fill their needs, i felt like you were filling all of mine haha!! So fun to just move from task to task.

As a mom of 3, this was too real, LOL! You did a great job creating a realistic schedule!

[@CryptidSims]

Gosh I am so obsessed with the way your game looks!! 😍😍

[@SassySoda]

I very very rarely cheat my sims needs, only when i'm extremely flustered (adhd and overstimulation) and something unexpected happens (maybe a fire, or just a series of things i wasn't expecting) My routine when i play with families is - (if i have two kids, i will have 2 bathrooms and i add another bathroom for every additional 2 kids i have) Whichever adult sim has the highest cooking skill gets up first around 3am and uses the bathroom, then when they go to make a group meal, the other adult (if there is one) uses one bathroom and one child per however many other bathrooms there are. By the time they're done in the bathroom, food is ready. If any kids are still asleep, they get up and eat with the family, then use the bathroom after eating. Then everyone goes off to work/school. After work/school - the kids use the toilet and grab a snack alternatively, then do their homework while an adult prepares a meal. They all eat together, then the adults use the toilet and any kids that haven't finished homework get on with that while the rest are free to do as they please. The adults help with homework to speed it up so the kids can have at least a bit of time to fill their fun need before bed between 7-10pm Sometimes i wish my real life was this structured, but i'm usually up til 3-4am playing games, watching streams, etc 😂

[@oshinsims]

Aw thank you! This is a great video idea actually It’s sooooo hard, there are some things that you’ll naturally speed through (skill building, for example) but my best piece of advice without making this too long - play realistically. Have a plan for the day, like in this video. Use the calendar for “holidays” so you have something to look forward to each day! Play some music while you play or other simmers so it’ll cater to your attention span while you play. Take pictures. Change or add outfits every couple days.

[@sageyikes]

@@oshinsims thank you soo much. i love this game but i am generally not a micromanagey player (which is what this gen is catered to) so it’s super hard bc i’m just waiting for stuff to happen! i’ll definitely try out these tips, & i would totally love a longer video on it if you ever get around to it! i love your content so much and appreciate every tips video you post so much ❤️
