[@lickthismiff]

I always use the clubs for my 100 baby challenge. She meets the new dads through The Baby Daddies, and once they've contributed to a baby, they go into Raise Yo' Kidz. The activities for that group are cleaning and repairing, so the dads all come over and take care of the house, and actually spend some time talking to their crotch fruit (once said crotch fruit is allowed out of the toddler prison, of course). Groups are really game changers!

[@indianakornfed]

Woot! 😂😂😂 Stealing this👆idea! 🥳

[@blundrpluss]

Speak more about this toddler prison....

[@LMOH529]

I use them for my legacy family too! Everyone in the household goes into the “chores” club where they clean, repair, cook, and do homework 😂

[@emmamarkel8410]

@@blundrpluss lol 😂 Turns out locking your toddlers in an area where they have everything to fill their needs is a great way to raise toddlers in the 100 baby challenge! Or anytime you have too many of them walking around! Is it a little unethical to lock kids in a room for the first years of their life? Yes. Will they care? Probably not. Is it efficient? Yes. Yes it is.

[@lickthismiff]

@@blundrpluss Honestly it's psychotic. So the bottom floor of the house is split in half, one half is the living area and main bedroom, and the other is the toddler prison. It's 3 rooms, the sleeping quarters, the playroom, and a bathroom.. The sleeping section is 4 toddler beds, a large sofa, a bookcase, and a night light. The playroom has all the toddler skill builders, plus a radio, and one of the food display cases from GTW. Once a baby is aged up, they go into the toddler prison, and the only door into it is locked for everyone but my matriarch. She goes in there to potty train, read to them, and bathe them, but they mostly have each other and a row of Blarfys for company. Children and teens build the cooking skill making salads, the salads go into the display case, which keeps them fresh, but the toddlers can also help themselves when they get hungry. The radio helps them get their movement skill up through dancing since they can't run around that much. Once they age up, they're allowed out into the main house. It's really cute and colourful, but it's 100% a prison. I'll be taking nominations for Mother of Year soon!

[@HarshMelon]

I realize this isn't a money-making scheme, but I created a painting club that met at the museum in Willow Creek. I then used all the paintings to hang up in the museum, which made it the nicest museum in the game!

The reason Lou doesn't paint is that, even though he's an Art Lover, he dislikes painting as an activity. So basically, he just wants to look at art. Well, he's also a Kleptomaniac, so look at and steal art.

[@writinggamer8059]

It's not a "cult" it's just some friends helping Stanley paint in his house, where he doesn't have too much furniture so they won't be tempted to stop painting. Totally different. 😂

[@reggievass]

The club perk “rally the troops” raises all club members needs except for hygiene and there’s no cooldown.

[@kenzieerr]

I do this with my farm animals in my families bc im lazy and dont wanna keep checking on it. I just start a gathering every day, and it takes care of my pets 10/10 reccomend.

[@barkergirl33]

Even though Stanley is selling the paintings it will always say who the actual artist is. So the award nominations and fame are on the committees that decide fame and nominations. Stanley is simply a famous artist who runs an elite club that "teaches" budding artists. The revenue from their paintings is the club fees. He feeds them and provides a restroom so I think it's completely morally ok!

[@morganblank6587]

Stanley is entering his Gilderoy Lockhart era

[@friendlyporkchop]

[@cassieconcanon413]

[@the_lauryn_t]

it’s more ethical because at least they enjoy painting and get to go home to an actual house and not a bed under a roof on the beach😂

[@iggysmice3087]

[@lauren_sunshine]

[@AzaratheDragon]

Ive used the Get Together club mechanic to set up chores for the family. Care for the plants, go feed and talk to the animals from Cottage Living, clean the house, etc etc. its so handy and abusable when you need the sims to actually do stuff, but you dont want to micromanage multiple sims at once. (Or deal with them cancelling a task because they want to go troll the forums or get a glass of water.) Honestly, i rank it up there as one of the best packs for the sims 4 just from sheer utility alone.

Ah the classic art farm. The Clubs make it so easy. (I always have an art farming club.) I once trapped the whole Club in an area where I gave them everything to live. Because of the way I had set up the Club, they all loved to paint and just kept doing it even after the meeting ended.

[@pathogenofdecay]

I've talked about this a few times before and I'm sure more people will always be informed the more I mention it, but in addition to dumpster diving, it can be even better to also become a spellcaster or create one in CAS and have them learn Practical Magic until they learn the Repairio spell, which will happen quickly if not immediately. It will let you restore burned furniture found in dumpsters to their original states and repair broken items from dumpsters. You don't need to rely on the Magic Realm sages to teach you spells either. Just practicing a school of magic (Practical in this case of course) will self-teach your sims spells. You will later learn the Copypasto spell, which lets you duplicate items, and that can also be great for making money... provided that you're ready for when spells backfire, which can actually start fires. Some spellcaster traits greatly lessen backfires though. Oh, and if you're not familiar with spellcasting or haven't played as a spellcaster in a long time, do remember to be watchful of the charge meter on your motives menu. If it fills, your sim might very well die. You can learn a spell through rank-ups that drops your charge meter to zero and there is at least one other spellcaster trait that reduces the charge cost for spells. Spellcaster clubs can be dangerous for sims however because while sims in a club can be instructed to autonomously cast spells, not only will they often cause fires (because Infernio isn't dangerous, is it? looool), but they may be unable to keep themselves from overcharging and possibly dying.

[@DellVanity]

Watching simsie discover what callmekevin does regularly in his sims game lol

[@Myne1001]

Here's an iinteresting one: appraising artefacts. I had Sim max out both Jungle Adventure aspirations. He ended up with the reward trait that other Sims would send artifacts for him to inspect and value. Once you did and returned it he was getting typically 2,000-4,000 simoleons per appraisal. It's quite a lucrative money source but takes effort.

[@watermelonsugar4478]

I see kayla has taken a page out of Kevin’s book.

[@coyote_yoshi]

This is why I love the club system so much. You can make Sims outside your household do so much stuff

[@mrssalad]

Stanley has always been a hustler

[@ZombieCookie333]

This is genius. Also, for my werewolves, the fix objects club would be great after every full moon.

[@kanelovec4315]

You could have put out a grill and picnic table. The club members could have a chance of cooking the meals as well. This challenge is nice. You could build your own cult. Put beds/shower/etc for members with many tiny houses.

[@katanah3195]

Yes that seems cool. Cult compound challenge. Your would be cult leader starts out with just an empty lot, 3 easels, and the clothes on their back. Your club starts with one activity, painting. The goal is to turn that into a whole cult compound, with a separate house for your leader and communal facilities for your members, as well as obtaining additional work for them to perform (or have them clean and repair the compound). Your leader, however, isn't permitted to do anything the members are tasked with - his/her job is running the cult, not toiling with the followers! You could also have your cult leader have to write books once you can afford a desk and cheapest computer for the "parsonage" - these are holy books and recruiting pamphlets, and they represent the leader actually doing something besides just standing around while the cultists work.

[@olidyll]

i dont know if this has been suggested a lot or not but its possible to do a potential rags to riches with dolphins from island living! you're able to get them to "fetch" items for you and i've gotten some pretty expensive stuff from them before like excellent quality pomegranates and random items that are sometimes worth quite a lot of money :))

[@katanah3195]

@ladyofthemasque I think they mean a regular LP, where Kayla would like build him a house, for him and his kids, from the episodes where he's had children. Although that would only work if toddlers had hotdog suits... or lil cocktail weenie costumes. We got cowplants nameable - let's all pester EA for toddler hotdogs!

[@kxyl]

With high school years pack you can make and sell outfits worth like $1,000,000 (that’s as far as I’ve tested). If you have high entrepreneur skill it’s a good way to make money really quickly.

[@Kualinar]

An advantage with a painting club : Your Sim don't need to pay for the blank canvas nor the paint used. That mean more money when selling. Yes, your Sim can and WILL get fame for selling the work of others. There is a mod that can increase the maximum number of members in a club. Have a normal club and increase it's membership to 8. Add the mod. Now, true social interaction, you can invite more Sims to join the club. There are 10, 20, 40 and unlimited versions.

[@TheRebeccamadison]

Love this idea. But also low key, this could be a really neat storyline where you and your club work to make money to advance the club and grow to something cool and bigger. Famous even. Go from a club no one cares for into one that is well known and admired. I'm definately gonna try it out lol

I used the club system to make the "Bro Hoes," which my vampire celebrity sim is the leader of. It's a flirty club of sims with the Bro trait. Club activities include Bro things like watching sports and mixology, but also woohoo and flirting with each other 😆 Not to mention, it's no problem my vampire sim has the trait where she must ask for a drink and feels guilty compelling, because they love each other so much they always say yes!

[@tomihartley9852]

to answer your question, yes i think this is morally worse than the landlord episode because it's so much more effective. you don't make much from being a landlord in the sims, but stanley is gaining fame, money, and possibly awards? that does not mean im not enjoying this - i am thoroughly enjoying stanley being the jeff bezos of painting!

I think this is morally better than the land lord episode, I like to imagine that part of the money goes to the painter in the group, but Stanly taking credit and getting awards is iffy, but that's sims 4 game logic, it wouldn't award the painter just Stanly as he sold it so eh

[@juliacintrae]

Now do this again, but rather than sell personally, set them up for sale in a store with a markup. 😂

[@BonaparteBardithion]

It's more efficient to sell them directly because you don't have to wait for buyers to show up and browse for a while. By the time they're done two more paintings will be ready for sale. Plus selling directly increases fame, so you can get famous off fraudulent sweatshop art.
