It would be better than Bobby just running away always. And barn cats come n go as they please

Hey James! Not sure if you know this, but a sims modder made a mailbox for the Bigwallet family. Thought you might want to check it out. There is also a mod called My Favorite Raincoat. It functions just like an umbrella, but without the annoying actions. Been a lifesaver for me. Also, there is an outhouse mod available. Found it last night while searching for a functional toaster. It even has the moon shape on the door. Funny! Went searching for a toaster and found an outhouse.

[@ImKybi]

I hope he sees this comment, all these are amazing! 😂

[@annoar9776]

this is perfect

[@Fnuller92]

Yaaaas, these are perfect for his game! 🤩

[@Samantha.K.S.Simpson]

The fact that you found an _outhouse mod_ while searching for a _functional toaster_ is _outright hilarious!_

[@DoveJS]

AroundtheSims4 has a toaster and a few other functional small kitchen appliances! Each one has unique CC recipes. And someone has a functional cookie jar, which uses the baked cookies from the game, it just gives your Sim a single random serving. Ravasheen for sure has a CC drink tray for creating a single serving of the hot chocolate and apple cider which came with an expansion but for some reason is only available through the outdoor food stands (one of them was bugged and can't even be added to Dine-Out menus.)

[@seventhave]

My dad has cows. Not once has he called any of the cows by their actual names, only nicknames completely unrelated to their actual names. I feel right at home with you always calling Bluebell Bessie!

[@cowculating]

I have cows and they usually have an actual name and a nickname.. like choco bear for an example :D

[@nemomagnum]

My family has dogs and horses which have official names and completely different names that they're called in everyday life. For some of them, though, I use a third unrelated nickname

The mood of the sims and pets is one of the parts for getting gold in the competitions

[@TheYoubregje]

I was waiting for this comment!!!! The chance to get gold in competitions is waaay bigger when your sim and horse are in a positive mood

I’ve been yelling this the entire time 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@joyofrandom]

The horses were fine but Lady’s needs are on the verge of crashing all the time when they do competition 😂

[@isabellaidaandersen1638]

Also you can encourage the horse before to make them confident which enhance the chance of gold 🌟

[@iloolivni]

Don’t know if anyone suggested it yet but it would be really cool to bring in sandalwood as a ranch hand! It would be a great callback to Trenton being a farm hand in cottage living, cheaper and less buggy than the actual ranch hand and also give us more time with the non-horse animals :)

[@csengekiss6213]

You can store produce in the refrigerator. You can cook and make nectar from it as if in your inventory. LittleMsSam has a Transfer Inventory mod to make it easier to put it in and pull it out (works with storing flowers in the flower arranging table too).

"things are hard here on the ranch" *james also spends almost 10k on solar panels LOL i love this chaotic ranch LP

[@HarshReese]

Something I’ve noticed that helps in my own game is Patchy the scarecrow! He helps take care of plants but also cleans up after the cows and chickens :)

[@xohope4]

It is helpful, but Patchy may just randomly go into your house and either do random stuff or start flirting with someone in the household! He broke up my Mint generation’s marriage by flirting with the husband. My Sim later found said husband flirting with the kids’ nanny, so that was the final straw

[@michellelang305]

He was klepto twice for me, so I don't use him anymore lol

[@nohandlethanx]

​@@xohope4That was the final STRAW??? 😂😂😂 You mean, they can't PATCH things up anymore?

[@nenapen15]

I only somewhat recently started following more simmers, but with this series alone, respectfully, I feel like James is 100% the simmer of the year

[@DoveJS]

I'd still recommend trying out Dr. Gluon if you enjoy pure chaos (if you haven't already lol.) James is definitely one of the LP peeps I've followed the longest though. He's very charming; it's infectious. I drop off everyone eventually no matter how good, it depends on what else I'm doing, but I almost always click James right away if I don't have to catch up because of that and I have caught up because I generally enjoy how he handles his Sims. It's just the right amount of dedication to the goals and making sense of what they do. I always have trouble staying focused like that when I play Sims 4 myself lol. That said, I've never truly watched most of the earlier LPs... I tried a few but where ever I came in at, sometime after toddlers were added I guess, is basically the first one I finished and then I finished most of the ones occurring after that. It's a loooot of videos and I'm following a ton of different peeps for different stuff on YT, I only have so much time, so it's still a testament that I've watched roughly most of 15 LPs by him for Expansion and Game packs (which isn't all, just most) plus side bits for time between some of those, some one-off challenges, Super Sim, Burger Boys, and a ton of build videos. I mean, I've still been watching him pretty consistently for at least 7 years. He's doing something right!

[@KrayzieAries]

If ur into build videos I recommend Devon Bumpkin! His actual name is Aiden & omfg hes *AMAZING* & funny!

[@DoveJS]

@@KrayzieAries I second that; he's hilarious!

[@gracie_l_lee]

Maybe with each horse you can focus on a different skill. Like Bluey could be a jumping horse, bramble could be western pleasure, etc. that might make it faster to train and sell at a high value. But, of course, Flame will remain the champion, aggressive queen. Master of all the skills.

[@Fnuller92]

Super Sim-horse Challenge!

[@DoveJS]

I agree with this. It's also more realistic. I'd also consider just selling Basil right now or waiting for his first gold medal since it's a lot of horses as he said. Flame was just made to be Super Horse lol plus she'll be around the longest so might as well.

[@Sandra-86]

But make sure one of them is a multi-tasker, or you can't participate to the ultimate championship!

[@DoveJS]

@@Sandra-86 That will be Flame.

[@sambiddlecom]

Flame is the matriarch of the dynasty of course

[@anewgirl]

Poor Bramble is just being overlooked, Bluey got so much attention, true second child. 😅

[@smartdoll_iceland]

I love that James just called the goat irresponsible🤣🤣

[@amliepina3577]

you should give the cat the free spirit trait so it behaves more like a barn cat and wanders around!

[@MsVanessaSt]

I heard the horses need to be in a really good mood to place well in competitions. James keeps working his horses to the bone then sending them to compete lol

[@FirebladesSong]

Why should he treat his horses any different than he does the people?

[@BrightEyesEm]

I think I heard that the Sims mood effects it to, do you know if that's true??

[@Kidlitwriter]

You'll do better in the competitions if you make sure all your horse's needs are excellent and the horse's mood is confident. It also helps if your Sim is confident when you compete. Have your horse train for just a few minutes on whatever skill you will be using in the competition and they'll usually get confident. Under the Friendly menu, there is a category called horse skills where you can find compliments your Sim can give the horse and that also seems to help them grow confident sometimes. If your horse is tired or hungry when you compete, they never place as high. I know you've decided to make all grape nectar, but the energy nectar made with lemons and an herb is like drinking coffee and partially fills your energy bar. The prairie grass nectar is nice to have to fill your hunger bar up a bit when you are out and about. The more aged the nectars are, the more they fill the needs.

[@dmfitz5521]

You can also "Encourage Training" to get your horse confident 👍

[@natalie9122]

C❤

[@wiktoriadefinska3820]

James should buy his old house and make it into his training place with tiny house

[@satinbubbles]

This is smart actually! Buy it as a business and just put the training stuff on it. Make a group of people and bring his horses, they can do training stuff together!!

[@satinbubbles]

her owning two properties is BOSS BABE ENERGY! It just makes sense to have a property with just training equipment to train the horses he's going to have her sell. You're a genius!

[@arjones523]

For the next house/lot. Build a barn with an apartment above it. But in the lower barn have a separate room for the barn cat items and ranch dog items so they don’t clutter the apartment

[@zauselleo8051]

And the ranch hand could live there permanently(with the live in services mod). Like the butler in the treehouse in the growing together lp

[@raerohan4241]

​@@zauselleo8051 Does live in services work okay with ranch hands?

“Competish” has entered my vocabulary and now I have a feeling “collec-sh” is also going to 😂😂

[@Jockles]

With the harvestables, you can make nectar out of anything that's in your fridge, so you can put all your harvestables in the fridge (which also means you can cook with them ;) ) - there's a mod that makes it such that you can *only* use ingredients in your inventory, but by default it's the whole inventory of the lot + the selected sim. I also use the LMS Transfer Inventory mod to make it easier to just add all my ingredients to the fridge with a single click. Insanely useful when I'm doing a farmer-style playthrough.

[@allybearbear]

You should breed Bluey before selling him so the foul will get his good traits and continue the Flame Bigwallet line.

[@azmidah1507]

definite yes.... @JamesTurnerYT should do that.

[@monkimallow]

[@anymouse1615]

I think the cat is peeing everywhere because it can't get to the litterbox. That is why it has that thought bubble.

We saw the cat it though, when James first bought the litter box.

Forever a mystery

[@Julesjabberwockymama]

It’s a barn cat. It needs to pee outside lmao

[@madhbh]

@@amysilknitter8928It’s possible there is a bug going on because I also experienced something similar with my cats using the litter box right after buying it and then not being able to get to it later on. Even if it is g litter box related it could be pathing related which is why they couldn’t find anywhere to sleep, too.

[@maryzinhaah]

James: we should build a proper nectar barn Also James: 0 simoleons James' LPs are perfect 😂😂

[@robotrix]

Surprised he didn't put the nectar maker in the basement with the storage. Then Lady wouldn't have to be out in ugly weather to do it.

[@maryzinhaah]

@@robotrix I believe it's because the basement is just a room in the dark void

[@riewinters]

I'm playing with Simple Living, planting any kind of mushroom (normal or oversized) or aubergine then canning them into "meat substitute" unlocked many different decent food to cook!

[@nalu_munhoz]

"Is that the same Grim Reaper that's my dad?" - Nervous Subject, from The Sims 2 😂😂

[@kat7429]

I think it's time to move to the bigger lot. My vote would be after Lady moves, one of the relatives buys her old house and becomes a horse trader (just for background, not to play). Then Lady could "sell" her horses to them instead of them just disappearing from the game.

[@AKA_Studios]

He could also move them in with other relatives. Some of the immortal relatives have awfully empty households 👀

[@kat7429]

I like it. "Here Oak, have a horse. By the way, you owe me three thousand simoleons for training your horse for you"

[@DoveJS]

Maybe Sandalwood could become a horse trader? Although I agree with AKA_Studios that other relatives could buy them too. Reginald and Kevin have plenty of room for a horse stable and lots of time to go riding. Column could clear out her old money tree orchard and just build a small stable there, then buy the most expensive horse. And the alien farm needs horses.

[@ginc3765]

I think mood impacts how you do in competitions. The better off you and the horse are, the better you do.

[@_kofiwitch_]

Maybe instead of owning a cat you should make the lot a stray cat hangout, the stables near us always have feral cats hanging around and that way they really WILL be barn cats.

[@kirstenbass9533]

I hope James understands that he has set a precedent for all future intros.

[@anne-mariej.2907]

Maybe on the bigger lot, you could add the cat hangout lot trait and lock your house to cats to have barn cats naturally around your ranch without having to fully take care of them.

[@zauselleo8051]

I really like this idea, unfortunately my game alsways lags when i do this. If you already have many animals on the lot this could make the game more laggy. But he could still try it though.

[@colorsaremyfrends]

You should grow a couple over sized crops for cooking ingredients. Like mushrooms for meat alternative. But added challenge only grow two at a time so you have to plan what your growing with what your cooking lol.

[@ninadreams127]

On the next bigger lot, it would be so cute to see the nectar barn/greenhouse combo built with the new Greenhouse Kit they released (idk the exact name)! Lady deserves the best working conditions after dealing with all of this😂

[@Hunter_VanderMatthews]

If Lady has kids you should name them after grain: Oat, Barley, Alfalfa, etcetera.

A note for James and others looking for an alternative to the water collectors: Around The Sims has a variety of water collectors in different styles like barrels and vases. I find the barrels fit very well with the Ranch aesthetic.

[@adrist4r]

screenshotted this for later 😂 thank you

[@PurrfectlyMediocre]

I had forgotten... another thing you may like is the Alter Eco set from Ravasheen. Honorable mention for the Home Recycler from her that turns the ugly recycler contraption into an object that looks like a recycle bin. I use this in every build!

[@savvy_gaymer8159]

i've noticed that your sims mood has a big effect on the chances of getting gold in horse competitions. So make sure your sim is also happy before entering them.

You should just make nectar with whatever produce you’ve got! Also potatoes are a winter so you can make potato nectar all spring if you insist

[@SimplicityK]

The barrel racing animation sometimes gets messed up in my game too. At one point my horse was just running in circles perpendicular to the barrels and not going around them at all. It still gets their agility skill up, so works for me

[@kaylaeberhard8933]

Hey James! I love your videos! I don’t know if you know this but when you click on the nectar racks there’s an option to get out all the finely aged bottles. That way you don’t have to click on each rack and drag them out individually. Super helpful!

[@JamesTurnerYT]

We’ve never had finely aged, only moderately so far!

[@kaylaeberhard8933]

Yeah I noticed that. But when they get to that level you can try that trick out! It’s been super helpful in my game!

For the barn cat, it might be cool to put a couple mouse holes from city living in the barn for the cat to catch!

[@VereskVeil]

I think that if you're going to make only grape wine and wait till autumn to harvest them, it makes sense to age existing wine fully

[@robotrix]

The Case For NOT Selling Basil 1) He makes adorable babies. 2) You're going to need a horse to do jobs and competitions while Flame is pregnant. Another foal might not be old enough or experienced enough. 3) The foals are always going to be worth more because they're younger. 4) Flame has a good relationship with him. She may not always accept another stallion.

[@gabig9477]

I also advocate for leaving Basil he is so sweet 😂

[@BattyBigSister]

What else does a cow need? Of the top of my head? Food, water, saltlick, milking equipment (a bucket and that decorative stool from Snowy Escape might work if you wanna go rustic), a hose and a drain in the floor and maybe a shovel to help clean up cow pats... (you'd use the hose both to clean the cow and to spray the cow pats down the drain and the shovel for the larger lumps... need I say more? A small fake silo would work well with the drain because that's where it would normally go... or you can skip the drain and just have the hose and shovel as you just have the one cow), a pitchfork to shovel in hay and straw would be useful too in either the horse or cow barn. Oh and maybe some fake milk pasteurising equipment around the side of the barn would be cool. Or a fake footbath (like a metal tray with antiseptic solution on the floor you make the cow walk through to help prevent infections/fungal growth in the hooves)... or a cow brush, though I dunno how you'd fake one of those... (it's live a revolving round brush that cows love to rub their heads against. So cute to watch. ❤)

I had a dog in my student house once and it was obsessed with the fireplace, it would not move from it. I tried to call it to lay in it's bed, it would go and then get right back up and go to the fireplace and would always pass out when it got so tired. I would have to call it to eat and I would take it for walks, but bam, right back at the fireplace 😂 the only time it didn't stay there was when it was off, but freaking sims love the fire place too 😂
