The Ultimate Sim: How to Make a Super Sim in The Sims 4

[@CarlsSimGuides]

The checklist is done! Here's a link to it: www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/supersim.php

[@jekebe4858]

Hmm, one point on the checklist... for spellcaster you mention that there's nothing specifically for skill gains with them but they DO have a Potion of the Nimble Mind which gives a +2 confident moodlet and can be effective at the same time as Snaggle Fluster. Heh, according to your own caster guide it's a 50% gain, so nothing to sneeze at. Great to have a utility caster around when raising angsty vampire teen supersim younglings, just lock one in the basement cell making potions/copypastoing that and snaggle fluster.

[@jekebe4858]

Ack. sorry, hadn't finished reading through and have one more slight suggestion. Regarding lot traits, if you're going celeb there's zero reason to not go with a celebrity lot trait. +3 happy moodlet all the time as long as there's a 4-star celeb in residence, which EVERYONE gets even if they're at work (as long as you're playing the lot, not tormenting Bob Pancakes). Mild side effects may include random sims hanging out in ugly tourist outfits, but that's a celeb life for ya.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

@@jekebe4858 thanks for helping to make it a little better. I'll get these edits in tomorrow! I've definitely failed to look at potions when considering caster skill buffs bleh. And yeah not so small, it's as strong as rank 1 child of the moon I think.

[@daphnelouis7292]

Will Snyder I’m a pro simmer thats not what I meant lol

[@bluecannibaleyes]

I made a Super Sim once. Got all skills maxed, and all the hidden traits/aspirations possible. I actually did it because I was getting bored with the Sims 4 and wanted a challenge, and it actually ended up getting me back into the game. It’s fun at first but gets boring at the end, especially when you take the needs reward traits (you’re right, it totally breaks the game). I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve done literally everything with my sim and don’t even know what to make her do anymore. And she doesn’t even eat, sleep or poop anymore, so there’s not even a point in making her do daily tasks. 😂 The challenge was fun the first time, but I don’t really plan to do it that extreme again. Another thing you didn’t mention... Playing as a Super Sim gets really annoying at high levels when socializing because they end up with sooo many options in the social menu. It’s quite overwhelming having to scroll through dozens of pie menus. 😂

[@stickyspaceman]

I have to pause between interactions because my supersim has so many choices lol

[@carolstaneck7694]

Yes!!!!!! So many options when it comes to socializing, it takes a while to find what you actually want

[@ChanceSarsis]

I agree with you bluecannibaleyes, i went the scientist way, then the magic way, and finally on my third run, i did it with one dude and 4 or 5 dogs, because once you max up your companionship with your dog, you get 250 every pet for every dogs, giving you all traits absolutely fast. And on each runs, i ended up not finishing the collection quest because i became bored, there was nothing to do, money was printed with duplication spell/cloning machine, my sim had no need at all, and it became just a tedious task to do the collections as it became a slot machine based on luck to get the missing collection item you needed with no organic play. and i am glad those traits are optional, maybe someday i will play the game again without touching them.

[@timlit9051]

Now you need to try and ruin de sims live

[@oseeea2751]

I did that 2 but then my stupidly old computer had to get legacy edition so I lost all my sims. (I diddent go THAT extreme just max skills)

I never much saw the point of playing with toddlers or kids (or even teens) but this series has taught me the value of doing so. I started a new legacy family of 8 Sims, the goal being to have all Super Sim kids. I’m playing them in a tiny house, too. The oldest two have aged up to teens and holy sh** the skill gains are unreal. I’m having a ton of fun. Thanks so much, Carl!

[@CarlsSimGuides]

Wow, another person saying this. Thank you for letting me know! It's absolutely amazing to hear and it really touches me if I can help people enjoy things.

[@Jay33721]

I recently started a "Super Sim Challenge" (sort of) on my Twitch channel. Basically want my Sim to max all skills, finish all aspirations, get all reward traits. (Those are the main goals, at least.) I have a feeling this guide is going to be really helpful.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

Max all skills = definitely go for that snaggle if you want to go fast. I need to investigate but think it is increasing things more than we thought when stacked with the others. It's also equally easy when compared to top notch and childhood, you can just get unlucky sometimes. Good luck with your stream, Jay.

[@Jay33721]

@@CarlsSimGuides Thanks! When I last left off, I had just gotten my Sim past the toddler stage and earned Top Notch Toddler. Childhood is going to be a different beast, lol.

[@gumballz.9259]

@@CarlsSimGuides yeah, the real challenge with the Super Sim challenge rn is not the skill gain, but the Aspiration List. I personally play a Super Sims challenge right now with my triplet sims. It has been fun chasing after all the collections and careers as well lol. Get Famous has a reward that let your sims' career tracks stop decaying, so being at the top of every single career at the same time is now possible! So a truly Super Sim is now: + Max all skills (easy) + Have all traits (a bit less easy, and game play breaking when all your needs are frozen). + Max all Aspiration: the true back bone of this challenge. Additionally: Max Career: Get Famous (which comes along with the Max Aspirations) allows you to have the opportunity to Max all Careers as well. This is not really difficult since with all the club + Get Famous + Responsible trait + Connection. You can max each career in a week. Max Collection: another way to spice up your already broken gameplay lol. Occult max: choose either Vampire or Spellcaster. Or once at a time. (Which also goes nicely with the Max Aspiration Challenge). ... I seriously don't know what next to do except finishing the Family Aspiration now. Have all the collections, all the rewards, all career maxed, Family is truly the last thing to finish lol! Maybe I should kill time and have all the degrees as well lol! Or get into all the Business perks and Dine Out (which is so broken amd glitchy at this point 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️)

[@TheMarionettePlaysGamez]

The Wishing Well from Romantic Garden is pretty good for gaining instant maxed skills. There is still the chance for the failure of the wish altogether or just getting varying general skill boosts from minor to major.

[@shanimeow]

@@gumballz.9259 yeah i did this in my game and the hardest part was the childhood/teen stage cause it was long and yeah the family aspiration took the longest (except the broken vampire one lol no way im waiting 20 sim days) but it was a fun just easy. getting all the degrees seems impossible lol too much time

I think I may just do this one. I have been working on using a basic sim to get as much done with one sim as I can. I think I may start from conception, though, just to see where it takes me. A reconfiguration of a life, which is what I want to play The Sims for. I feel inspired to do that.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

It really does give you a bit more attachment to them to build them up from child to teen. I didn't mention it in the video but it's great strategically to have the parent already level 5-7 parenthood when you start. If you have that pack.

[@PositivelyNice]

Pyra Barnes Do it! 😊 It is the most satisfying thing ever.

[@PositivelyNice]

If you start from baby, your Sim can easily level Parenting up to at least Level 5 simply by feeding and doing all the actions available for baby for 3 whole days.

[@S1i1c1k]

When you started making your super sim I got inspired to make my own. She's a young adult now, learns skills almost instantly and I need to decide to make her a vampire or a witch. Haven't gone to university yet, that's the next step. Watching the skill competition at the end really puts this in perspective, when you make a super sim you really break the game LOL. Good work Carl!

[@younglove3362]

Mine has a super human sim and a super vampire. I haven't made a super wizard because I don't have that expansion.....I don't know if I ever will but maybe I might get it. I just think it makes the game a little more diverse.

[@NawiTheCore]

Carl, would you consider starting a *Sims 3* Guide series? I know you have some guides in written form, but I'd love to watch some videos explaining some of its most complex mechanics, like transfiguration (World Adventures), collecting and cutting gems, trait chips, as well as guides for the skill challenges and the active careers. Heck, even a guide for the World Adventures' tombs and one that explains in detail how to create our own would be great.

[@billylin8800]

i know i'd appreciate it if you did do some, i know you've got it all on your site in text but sometimes you just want a video explaination

[@dominiccenteno1233]

[@AspienPadda]

The effort put into this video really really shows. I'm all the more impressed with you and your team, Carl. I'm so happy to be able to get to know my favourite and preferred Sims guide website's creator like this. Makes the world feel smaller and more connected

[@Simproved]

Holy Moly! The end was so satisfying to watch. It's incredible how quick it is with all those boosts. I love your videos, I usually lurk in the shadows and never write a comment. But this time I just had to tell you, that this is impressive. It even made me play a little more with my sims, than just building. I had no idea how good these bossts are, since for me all this skill building etc. is the most boring thing ever, so I never cared about it. but now.... well... iI will scrool through the list and will definitely try it out.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to write me. I had a lot of fun with the series and thankfully learned about masks to help me line up that 'race'. it had to take place at different times or else Father Winter would've had the tiny living lot bonus :)

I'm currently making a Super Sim in Sims 4 and you are right. It's totally worth doing it at least once. I'm having so much fun with it. I only wish I had tried it sooner. But I didn't have as much Sims knowledge, back then. Would totally recommend.

[@jennw6809]

I know this video was very time intensive, but I'm so grateful for it. I've watched it at least three times now and it's jam packed with compact. Before you did this series, I was accidentally making some super sisters just because I was trying to give them the best childhood. With this guide I can make them SUPER SISTERS!

[@tabytastick]

Thank you Carl. I've always appreciated the time and work you put into your guides as they are the most detailed. I have watched other super sim series but yours has inspired me to start my own. I know it will be the best super sim I can make because I get all your help will it. :)

[@CarlsSimGuides]

I love it when my content inspires people to start playing and enjoying it. Helping people get enjoyment out of TS4 is right now my main mission. Even if at times it's to crack jokes at poor design choices, I ultimately hope people get more enjoyable play out of the stuff I make. Thank you, Taby.

[@LyndaGiddens]

Carl, this is absolutely your best video. I think I've seen them all. You say the game is broken and I understand that, but it's still no walk in the park to make a specialty Sim and there's still enough randomness and wonder along the way that I enjoy the challenge immensely. In short, you make me think of new ways to play the game and I love that! Thank you for all you do. I've loved your guide for years and was so happy to see it expand to KZbin. I know you're not as popular as some sims YTers, but you're just as good, for sure.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

I can't play without a goal. This video being the most time I've ever taken, I am deeply appreciative to hear feedback that it is my best. Thank you so much. I'm hoping it does well in views over the next couple weeks, because I'd rather put out a few quality pieces than several mediocre ones.

I can see why this was fun. It was sort of a challenge, like having 8 sims in a one bedroom house with no toilet. But I found the same thing about game-play via another route: cheat skills. Having played since the first game came out, I got bored with the rags to riches and started off some sims as adults with moderate skills. The result is the same. There is no there there.

I've really been enjoying your super sim series and decided to give it a go myself to see how super I can make my Sim before I get bored. This condensed version of the series is going to be really handy for checking I'm doing all the best things. Thank you!

[@theodora6107]

Thank you Carl for this very in depth guide, I've been following you in some form or another for a long time and these videos, this one especially, are a wonderful addition to your legacy of helping people get the most out of their Sims games. After every new pack is released, your site is the first thing I check. I admire your work ethic and I hope there will be much more guides, on the site and on video, to look forward to. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@Lylliannah]

I really enjoyed this guide! I'm looking forward to going through the written version so that I can make my own super sim! I keep meaning to go through all of the content The Sims 4 has to offer because I have skipped so much of it despite having all of the packs. This is the perfect excuse to finally jump into it all!

[@CHLOCHLOLP]

I dont play the sims at all anymore but I love your guides, it makes me nostalgic to when I first found your site and started using your ts3 guides like 8 years ago.

[@Sohrleas]

I think I may combine this a smidge with my current Legacy challenge...during the third generation, because then I'll have the Ancient Bloodline trait in the heirs. I can't wait for the checklist to be up; waiting for sims to max skills can get tedious!!

[@HerHollyness]

It’s very achievable during a Legacy on normal lifespan. Especially if you have a ‘family’ club or live in a micro home. But even without, toddlers can reach L5 in all skills with a little help, and kids can achieve all aspirations and get a good way towards the scouting bonus before it’s time to age up.

[@BoojiePanda]

Yes, your videos are absolutely worth the time you put into them... and more!!!

[@Miandey]

I LOVE your Videos. Not only do i learn a few things about the sims but also you do it quite entertaining. This last one was masterfully executed ! but i missed you :) i knew you were working hard for us and i really appreaciate it. But i missed you

[@CarlsSimGuides]

It's really nice to have that effort be noticed and appreciated by a few people here. Thank you so much.

[@pootoobaby738]

This is always something that I’ve tried to do in my sims games (og, 2, 3) at least once, it’s really interesting to see what stacks, what’s less than useful etc. I’ve always looked to your guides when I’ve forgotten something so I’m happy to see you’re making videos and would love to see more from you!

[@Pritachi]

I created a super sim after watching your 2 episodes for your let's play. I honestly got bored once I finished 10 aspirations. But getting her to that level was the most fun I had playing Sims, so I don't regret it.

[@scifiwriter6092]

Thank you so much for the many, many hours you put into making this video. I really appreciate it. I'm writing down your suggestions. I'm in awe of the amount of research. I'm making a super Sim that is a toddler right now. Thumbs way up!

[@stephbryan]

I've been using your guides for years for everything from Animal Crossing to Zelda! So happy to have just discovered your KZbin videos as well. Thanks for everything! You have a new loyal subscriber!!

[@hide904]

I grew bored with my family for a while but this guide is encouraging for me to continue my legacy. I'm going to focus on the children a lot more now.

[@Xecoda]

11:09 This makes me so happy. I appreciate you putting this in.

[@mechellech9040]

I still love your narrations... LOL they make me laugh and smile while getting informed. LOL Oh please keep making them! (whispers.... is that good?)

[@Em-gk7tp]

I love your videos. Your commentary is just as clear as the text-based tutorials you make [which I have used for about as long as I can remember haha] and I really enjoy watching

[@Zakurako]

Congrats on finally finishing! I have to admit that I wasn't really concerned with buffs and moodlets until I saw one of the vids for this guide. It really is ridiculous how OP you could make a sim if you have the patience (and the right packs, I guess).

[@sprattywashere6862]

I enjoyed the video, thank you... I have made a sim similar, but not as super as your guy... was good info on the get together pack... the clubs business just annoyed me until now... thanks again for the time you spent providing this guide... along with all the others 👍🏻

[@jaychris]

Editor: Hey, which effects do you want? Carl's Sim Guides: Yes

[@Apollyna]

Your guides are so valuable and appreciated, your'e a staple in the community! I always bypass the big sites like IGN etc etc and make sure to look for "Carl's" when I'm googling some random ingame topic for help.

[@melissalungu1637]

I never even thought of adding these traits altogether to boost skill learning times! Wha a fab idea!

[@TheScoed]

Love this video. But the crown is a significant boost you missed that takes no time. But yes as you demonstrated it isn't remotely needed and Is ugly. I have made multiple super sims. One recently as you inspired me to do so. I enjoy it as it is in my opinion the hardest thing to do to earn every degree, max every skill, top off every career, and earn every reward trait. But after the teen years it gets more about time then challenge. I agree casters are more powerful then vamps. Casters in my opinion is the single most broken thing in the game, eliminating need management, boosting skill gains, instant on demand money (best money maker in the game and it isn't even close), tons of other useful spells, perks and potions, and no real downside once established. And clubs are broken too, almost as much. Again love this video, and series. Made me decide to do an ultra broken super sim of my own. Great job and I can't wait to read the written guide. Your site taught me much of what I know of the game. Thank you.

[@HunterBidensHandgun]

The responsible trait is very good imo. Sims automatically work hard when they go to work and get promoted much faster. The polite introduction you get from good manners is cool as well

[@irishduchess7577]

Outstanding video Carl! Loved the editing, the info, the humor, and am definitely looking forward to the text checklist! My current family has 3 girls-twin toddlers (that the LMS sonogram said may be triplets, so thankful that didn’t happen) and a child. I’ve been working towards maxing their skills after being inspired by Koby, and that checklist will help me to not miss/forget things. Literally laughing out loud at Koby with his little growl/clawing the air on the water slide move! Snorting at the “peeing in appropriate places” reference, too. Sims may randomly stop mid task like they’ve had a profound thought. Very likely the haven’t 😂I think the game needs an extra holiday for Father Winter so he can make up for some of that missed tail... (Whoops, accidentally deleted the last word so had to edit real quick)

[@Mr_vlue]

You know when I start playing the sims 4 the first thing that I did was create the perfect sim and this guide show all the things that I have learned and is wholesome

[@kai45654]

I made a super sim and I knew at max speed they could max they could max the first ~6 levels faster than the new level animation, but seeing the comparison was eye-opening how much faster super sims actually are. Also it was really fun to see your approach

[@dovelyy]

i wish i had seen this before attempting to max all skills and do all the achievements. it looks so much fun I'm for sure gonna try it. thanks for all this experimenting !!

[@wizardofrozplays1933]

Really liked this guide ~ It was awesome to see the side by side... by side comparison. 😆 The editing was great. The extra time you put into it shows. 👍🏻 I also thoroughly enjoyed the shade thrown during the ‘pissing in appropriate places’ section.. LOL

[@jennw6809]

Amazing video Carl!! Just wanted to mention how good Storm Chaser trait is for living in Sulani. It's practically a requirement for your sim to not be tense all the time. Waterproof is super helpful too for tropical dwellers. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this!

[@GildingChaos]

Well done on the video. I am motivated to raise all my Sims 4 kids like this. I like the "pee in appropriate places" photo reference.

[@CarlsSimGuides]

I knew some people would get that. When it came to mind, it was impossible to pass up even if it's not the most tasteful joke :P

[@Shonnna00]

Thanks for this video! I know how much effort had to go into it. I am actually really excited to try this challenge. I've been in this mode for about a year now where all I can do in the sims are challenges (Legacy Challenge, etc). It sucks that this game just doesn't seem interesting to me otherwise. Though, I am kind of afraid that this challenge will break the difficulty even more lol

[@Ancaryvan]

11:11 🤯Wow I don't expect such a BEST Melodrama Monologue from Carl. You should consider to be voice actor. Also, personally love having mermaid for Sole purpose, the raining weather for gardening.🤣
