to be fair the first time I got messages from Bess she gave me a LOT of money after I paid her only three times so I always thought it was a good way to get money :')
@@_LunaTheBlackCat_ If you do it, let me know how it goes! I'm gonna try it today myself. It's going to be interesting lol. I might also include sleeping and eating as club activities so the club gathering can last forever.
I liked that it was a relatively humane way of doing this "trapping Sims in the basement to paint" trope. They could all go home regularly, their needs were cared for and Semaj even handled the business side of things. It was just a very chill artist retreat...
@@cassiepereeri4646 It's not ethical, but compared to many of the trapping Sims in the basement examples... If I was a Sim, I'd choose Turner's basement, essentially.
James: Let's finally do the nature aspiration, because then we get the collector bonus trait, which helps us find rare collectibles more often. James (3 minutes later): How come I never get that lucky with fishing when I actually need to!
While it is true that some of the scenarios are merely game suggestions - some of the them do actually change the way the game works, such as this scenario, you literally can not earn skills. And the cooking one, you will set fire to the stove way more often. I agree the ones that are suggestions are nothing special, but it’s nice to have tracking on time taken. But I much prefer the ones that tweak game elements for a new way to play!
Next time, give Semaj the dance machine trait instead of loves the outdoors. It unlocks the disco nap function which gets energy up faster than sleeping. Means they get decent sleep even on benches!
If you click "Turn On" on the earbuds instead of "Listen To" your Sim will gain fun without being distracted from what you have them doing, like painting or gardening or repairing things. It's a great way to make them do boring work like upgrading objects without them getting tense and losing fun.
Ever since the archeology video, I’ve been wondering how much time it would take to complete this or the million simoleon challenge using just book royalties. I feel like they can really stack up. I’m really loving these videos and scenarios, can’t wait to see what else James comes up with
Remember that you can have at most sixteen (16) paying books at any given time. So, if you are currently getting royalties for 16 books, there is no point publishing another book. Also, the duration of the payment start at the moment of publication.
The first perk I buy is rally the troops. It can keep their hunger, energy, and bladder full. You just have to provide a shower oh, and socialize with them a bit. The painting is obviously fun for most of them.
I love how in all of James’s rags to riches and challenges like this, he always makes the biggest a rooms even when he’s got no money. I’m currently rewatching the big wallet series for the 4th time and the room sizes make me laugh every time
Would love to see James do the Supervillain scenario but Semaj can only make money through the career & "villainous" activities on the side like stealing (kleptomaniac trait), asking for loans, (charisma) hacking & virus (programming), blackmailing (listening device), etc.
Sounds interesting being as I hardly play villain sims. If I do play one I tend to muck up doing the dastardly deeds lol 😂 I would make a horrible criminal that’s for sure. It would be fun to see how bad I do at this scenario.
This is what the SimsWiki says about Bess…”Simoleons and you can stop giving it to her at any time, at which point she'll apologize and repay the Simoleons you gave to her. If you continue to give Simoleons, at least sometimes her business will flourish and she pays you half of the earnings, §25,000. Additionally, if your sim invests, and her business flourishes, you will get a weekly payment from the business' earnings.”
i got the payout in my legacy when my gen 1 sim kept donating to her. he was a loner and a painter (since it was rags to riches) so he had plenty of money and not too many friends, but you do keep getting a good chunk of money after that!!! she definitely helped him hit 1mil before he died though so i think its worth it if you’re playing for a few days rather than a few hours
This is actually a genius way to play some sort of corrupt art gallery owner or fraud artist who let’s others work but gets the fame! I will definitely use this for some of my own storylines
I love that James didn't sell the earbuds so he could have fun while working but only used them once and poor Semaj was fun deprived the whole time 💀 these scenarios are so fun to watch!
I know. Doesn't your fun go up if they are just turned on? You don't even have to be actively listening if I remember right. I could be wrong on that tho.
@@sachalessdarktide9813 no, no you're right. I do it all the time and always put them on before my sim goes to work so their fun stays up all day and it's one less need to worry about when they come home 🤣
So I guess the solution if you don't have any skills of your own is to 'manage' those who do 🤔 A pretty scathing summary of how much of the creative industry works 😆
Bwaha I was the one on twitter who suggested trapping the neighbors in the basement and forcing them to paint for you! The club seems to work way better than what I tried!
This one was such a good idea and it´s incredibly entertaining!! I also love that James doesn+t save up every penny, it may take a day or two longer this way but it´s just funnier and nicer to look at too
Oh God 😂 I once was an organizers for an art event, where 8 artists painted together for 24 hours non-stop in a workshop. I was one of the people who took care of their needs. I am getting MAJOR flashbacks 😂 Sadly, no 400k for me at the end, but we did have an exhibition of the paintings they made.
I took a trick from your playbook recently - my sims wife in the super rich supervillain scenario was a painter, and I sold all her paintings with the selling stand (from city living?) at a 300% markup so we could get to 500k easier . helped A LOT
Me, the whole time I'm watching: why isn't he selling these in a yard sale? James, 25 minutes in: why wasn't I doing this before!? Me: that's what I've been wondering.
I love this con. I always like it when you make these challenges more realistic by adding living quarters. I think we could of decorated it more as an art school though.
The best way I've found for the millionaire challenge is gardening WITH spellcaster because you can duplicate the dragon fruit plants and then you don't have to wait for them to grow.
When setting up the club, I would have filtered by required skill in painting to find members. Like Alice Spencer Kim Lewis has some painting skill already.
@@sunnybird8096 so what I do is use it as a filter to see what sims are “qualified” - then remove it as a requirement and manually select those sims from the larger list.
I know I was able to grab "free" paintings when I moved onto san myshunos art gallery spot. I also was in the middle of the criminal career and queued multiple pick pocket interactions between friendly interactions to anyone who passed. It felt more like an open neighborhood and I moved family right in the apartments nearby so they always walked by.
Yeah San Myshuno is great for making money from selling other people's paintings. Don't even have to be in the criminal career to do it. I'd not tried it in other worlds so I guess its just there that it works? Made more money that way than I did from the Dream Home Decorator career I was doing at the time.
@@AlexaFaie I just like the criminal career so my sims can pickpocket tourists who visit san myshuno. I tried becoming a klepto interior designer but the pack was glitchy and I had to stop. But I'm surprised you can make more from stealing paintings on the street than DHD.
@@AlexaFaie Now that I think about it it's probably because it has a mini open neighborhood type of residency. Like in Newcrest there was a mini playground and my sims would autonomously go there like it was a part of the lot. Or when I had a food stall nearby my house or a skating rink. The sims didn't view it as a separate lot with a loading screen but as part of the same lot. I believe that's why when you are in the san myshuno apartments your visitors will sometimes hang out downstairs in the world as if it were part of your home and then hours later say "thanks for having me over" when you thought the visitor left ages ago.
James you should have your sims turn on the earbuds instead of listening, just having them on raises their fun need and they can keep doing other things at the same time!
Not sure when I am more impressed by Sims, when they managed to pull out an entire dj booth on a common fishing rod, or they pull out a huge boat out of their pockets of their swim suits, like “where did you have that? In that weird pocket in your underwear?”
NICELY Done! I did it the same way, except with tiny house from the start and didn't remember to do the street sale; I will repeat it doing that for sure. It was hard to keep up with emptying the easels all the time, I agree!
That's awesome!! I learned from your other video how to harvest crops properly to make a ton of simoleons and did the challenge in 9 days. I might try this one too.
Loved the video, really enjoying this series. For your next challenge please add the worst traits possible for Semaj, like jealous, insane, paranoid, gloomy etc. Should be interesting to watch.
I'm not sure if he'll do that, but if you like the idea of seeing someone who does Dr Gluon takes the challenges and adds extra levels of difficulty to them just for funsies (its what he would say.
you can make sleeping, shower and eating as activity in the club, alternative to the club, just lure the sims in your cellar (easy with a club, invite 6 sims, lock the doors, kick the sims out of the club, invite 6 new sims ect.) they will paint anyway greetings from switzerland
Nice! This reminded me of the episode of Bob’s Burgers where Louise becomes an “art manager” and forces her siblings and friends to paint for her to sell during Art Crawl.
I'm currently trying the scenario using the scientist career and it's not fast. You get the cloning machine rather late in the career but as soon as you have that it's quicker. I use digging for collectibles and gardening as my other side hustles. Gardening takes a long time though with no skills.
I'm not halfway through the video yet but I really hope you get the gallery selling wall to sell the paintings at a high mark up because that's what I did lol.
Make grilling a club activity and club members will make food for free. Make sleeping and cleaning club activities. Use the Jungle Adventure outhouse that also includes a shower, and tents to sleep, and a dumpster. Sims will take care of all their own needs while building club points and full the dumpster, which will give you more money when you dive (especially if your Sim is a freegan.)
Fun thing that I found about those DJ booths. ANY upgrade you make to one WILL transfer to ANY other of the same in ANY other saves/games bough after the upgrade is made. So, if you have one Sim who fully upgraded one, then, those that you buy later WILL be fully upgraded. They will be upgraded in earlier saves, they'll get upgraded in later saves. You need to add «Natural Lighting» and «Artist Studio» traits to that lot. Both will improve the quality of the painting done there. They also make painting more enjoyable.
I love the idea of this.. Not even for a challenge, but to just have everyone paint for me and see the different ones while profiting. I always do the same category making money.
For trash i recommend the university wall trash chute. It's fantastic, i use it for every build i do. It's like a bottomless pit, no need for outdoor trash bins. And the best part is that they're free! They're absolutely perfect. Thanks for coming to my sales pitch
I actually really liked this idea. It is realistic and believable that you can manage a club of inspiring painters on their quest to fame. It does look like a lot of work...
Here's a couple of ideas for you to try with this one. One is the scientist career and transforming lower-valued objects into higher value ones. You could even combine that with dumpster diving so you don't pay for the items at all. Or maybe another play on the spellcaster route, try the Burgliate spell because it's not tied to the mischief skill so it should still work. You can steal things like stoves and beds with that spell, not just decor.
If you don't want to worry too much about sleep, the dance machine trait is great. Gives you the option of a disco nap, which is the same length as a regular nap but gets the energy need up quick
Every time James says “she’ll pay out don’t worry” it sounds like he’s trying to convince himself more than us 😂
It also reminds me of his gambling addiction in Dr. Gluon's stream.... "Bet all!" 😂
@@aubreyelaine1123 what stream was that? x

Imagine a full house with 8 Sims, each with their own full clubs, just for painting. I wonder how fast you could get to a million simoleons that way.
That sounds so chaotic.... I might wanna try that for myself :0

I liked that it was a relatively humane way of doing this "trapping Sims in the basement to paint" trope. They could all go home regularly, their needs were cared for and Semaj even handled the business side of things. It was just a very chill artist retreat...

Trump University?
Reminds me of the movie Big Eyes.
I read an article about this. And art teacher at a high school was selling the kids art for loads of money. He got arrested of course
James: Let's finally do the nature aspiration, because then we get the collector bonus trait, which helps us find rare collectibles more often.
James (3 minutes later): How come I never get that lucky with fishing when I actually need to!
Lmao 🤣😂😅
Oh yeah, I guess I didn’t think that changed fishing? Haha
Of course, he chooses to live in Windenburg... where there are virtually NO collectibles. XD
@@JamesTurnerYT It primarily changes fishing! At least that's where I find the most valuable stuff.
The scenarios just saved the gameplay! And it’s really fun to see James trying his best 🤩🤩 YOU SHOULD TRY DIVE FOR TRESURES!!!!!
And use fish traps too. You can catch all sorts of fish & treasures even without fishing skill.
how does it save gameplay? its just suggestions on things you can do on your own, so i guess if you cant come up with your own ideas? lol
I just want James to WEAR his teddy bear sweater everyday of his life 🐻🐻🐻😖😖😖
While it is true that some of the scenarios are merely game suggestions - some of the them do actually change the way the game works, such as this scenario, you literally can not earn skills. And the cooking one, you will set fire to the stove way more often.

If you click "Turn On" on the earbuds instead of "Listen To" your Sim will gain fun without being distracted from what you have them doing, like painting or gardening or repairing things. It's a great way to make them do boring work like upgrading objects without them getting tense and losing fun.
Does that work right now? Unless I have a mod that's breaking that function, my sims no longer gain fun from background music on the earbuds.

You could've hired Jim Pickens as a consultant...he's very good at encouraging Sims to paint in basements
I also hear he's a good restaurantier. They say his pufferfish is to die for.
I was thinking the same thing! 😅😅😅
He's a genius, the Restaurant/Grave Yard combo is inspired.
I fucking love yall, the James and Kevin bleed over of communities is something I had no idea I needed!! This is HILARIOUS!!
You could have used the Rally the Troops club interaction. It fills all needs except Fun and Hygiene.
You could have added lot traits to make masterpieces more often and you could buy the lamp to make them inspired too :)
Yes! And there are some good lot traits for creativity as well.
Semaj is much kinder than Our Dear Leader Jim Pickens was to his paint slaves. I’d love to see a collab between James and Kevin sooo much.

Or maybe another play on the spellcaster route, try the Burgliate spell because it's not tied to the mischief skill so it should still work. You can steal things like stoves and beds with that spell, not just decor.
I love that I was like when is he going to try to sell them on the table? 23 mins in GOOD JOB he got there!!!
Poor Marcus, how is he supposed to paint, there was no easels available!
missed the opportunity for Monet Makers!
The essence of a real paint gallery, 1 mil. For a stick figure!
Imagine earning 1M$ with Batuu. The CHAOS
So James Turner channels CallmeKevin and Jim Pickens XD
Selling wall has done a lot of heavy lifting in these scenarios!
31:30 - The game is totally trolling you with the "New Skill Day" event in this challenge 🤣
Hee hee, you mention it a little later at 32:22
I really liked this idea. It is like they all helped to pay for and build thier own club house. Fun!
This totally reminds me of the prison challenge back in the day
I loved this video so much! I did not want it to end!
Is it just me, or was anyone else getting cult-like vibes from this challenge? 😅
Watch callmekevin play the sims.
If you don't want to worry too much about sleep, the dance machine trait is great. Gives you the option of a disco nap, which is the same length as a regular nap but gets the energy need up quick
We need James to make a random skill generator like he did for packs and traits.
I felt that in my soul "I need to sleep, but I don't have time for other stuff"
I like how he choose a kitchen instead of the buffet table
Call Me Kevin vibes and I love it 😂❤️
This is so old school I love it
you should try the new plan-a-sim challenge. literally, everyone I watch has so far failed this scenario
I learned to do this from Jim Pickens first lol
