you could buy a woodworking table to make garden planters for the greenhouse since making those costs only $70 and your handiness skill should be enough for it! and the wooden toilet would fit perfectly for the outhouse LOL
And there's rarely a light in the outhouse. Well maybe a battery operated lantern on the floor but usually just windows or light coming throught the cracks on the wall
I think the “low quality” wooden toilet you can make would fit indeed! He should also move the sink somewhere else since outhouses don’t usually have sinks.
I kept feeding it to my Sim’s children so I could cue up “play with emotion” or “wind down with classical” and have the kids improve their emotional control. That’s good parenting, right?
Maybe it's OK to use some debug landscape to fill the rest of the empty lot, temporarily. As you build you "cut down" the trees, clear the land and expand the homestead.
I like the idea of Trenton focusing more on the renewable energy/farm management stuff (being an eco innovator and all) and Chaz being more hands on with the animals and crops
Trenton should also use the woodworking table to make cheaper planter boxes and get his handiness skill up to upgrade sprinklers, generators, solar panels, etc.
Since it's a farm, you definitely need a tool shed and a tractor shed. Some old equipment here and there, and that Debug broken fence. A little farm tent with a selling table would be handy too.
What I did when trying to make money off gardening with one of my sims was created a garden club that did gardening ONLY and set the gathering location to my house and had like 5 sims come and help me garden. 1 thing I had to do before they came tho was Harvest all my crops so they didn’t harvest and take them but it worked out well. I had 5 free gardeners 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Trenton is so cute! The town must be excited that a sweet young man has turned up and be shook that he’s the brother of the local eccentric Chaz. Chaz even puts the creature creeper to shame. He speaks to almost no one, spent months living in an alley in the middle of town and now he come to town only to sell his selection of cursed eggs. Trenton seems so normal by comparison... which makes it all the more exciting that he’s actually an undercover alien!
Trenton sets the table and tries to have a nice family dinner with his brother but Chaz just ignores him and hasn’t even talked to Trenton since he arrived 😭🤣
They didn't learn any social skills from their upbringing. Dad just hissed at them all the time. Grandma tried to see them to give them love and nurturing, but Dad always turned her away.
I say keep Trenton I love having another Bigwallet included in the LP. Eventually when Hazel moves in Trenton can have his own family and maybe get his own farmhouse or move back to the one you renovated right before you moved to this one...then the frog has some company 😂😂
Start canning! You can turn a blueberry worth a couple of simoleons into a few cans worth $30 or more each. I don’t sell any of my crops anymore and instead use them strictly for canning & sell the cans on a selling table at a 300% profit and I make buckets of simoleons haha
Chaz: Hey Trenton. Trenton: Oh hey Chaz, we thought you were dead. Chaz: Yeah I heard, anyway wanna help me out on my farm. Trenton: Sure, I've been meaning to get away from dad. His hissings been real annoying lately. Chaz: You'd think he would take care of that.
I'd love an evil chicken called Kylo Hen, to continue the Star Wars theme! Edit: Obiwan Henobi would also be good Edit again: What am I thinking, what about Hen Solo! Edit again again: Princess Layer. Okay, I'll stop. Obiwan Henobi: You were my brother, Henakin, I loved you! I promise I'll stop now. Yolka. Someone needs to stop me.
I've been trying to find as many chicken pun names as possible, and I must say. You are the best person ever. I shall now decorate a coop with a bunch of Batuu stuff and name a chicken each of these.
When you did the Seasons Let’s Play you did Move Objects and put the sprinkler in the middle of the planters, that way one sprinkler could water 4 plants at once.
i know im one week too late and maybe he already fixed it but the whole thing with the sprinklers is really odd (at least the way he arranged them xD). Like this he has too many sprinklers, he wouldnt need the ones in the middle.
Chaz doesn't have fabrication skill NOR the recipe for that planter, that's a career unlock, iirc, .. I am currently playing with a sim that has maxed out fabrication and handiness and has enthused to other Sims about fabrication a lot and still doesn't know how to make those bloody planters .. she's a freegan so I certainly won't make her join that stupid career, either 😅
@@organicstorm I believe you need to make one or more perfect or outstanding eco invention drafts and submit them via the mailbox to get the recipe for the hydroponic planter I think it's called.
@@Pittah123 thanks, but I was aware it's easy to get with the career. I had Sims gift hydroponic planters to other Sims before, so my current sim is "salty" they can't have the recipe without the career, despite OWNING several since childhood from gifts that her parents received from "neighbours" 🤣
I love Trenton being part of the family but I feel like you should work on their relationship a bit? I know that farm life is busy but it seems unrealistic for Trenton to be willing to move in with a brother that basically ignores him all the time.
I agree that Trenton should get some attention, but disagree about his willingness to move. Trenton’s whole life experience includes growing up in a haunted house with sleeping next to his hissing dad’s coffin 😂
LOL that's a good point but AK A has a good one, too. Maybe Trenton is trying to "earn" his brother's attention and affection by helping him out? Plus it got him out of the haunted house. :D
You keep getting NAPs because you checked the boxes in option which "enable" them. The wording is terrible for those but the boxes need to be empty to disable NAPs.
Haven't finished yet, but I wanna mention that you need to interact and build a relationship with Patchy before he can come to life. Then the relationship resets when he's off the tree and becomes an actual NPC you can build a real relationship with. I don't think I've ever seen Patchy harvest my Sim's plants, but I know there's a NAP that makes random Sims tend to and harvest your plants
@@hannahli5472 Yeah I think that's a NAP problem if you have Eco Lifestyle. Though a good idea (personally I enact Free Love in particular places) some of the NAP have really bad features. Non-player Sims harvesting plants is definitely one of the worst ones along with obsessive cooking
Yeah, Patchy has never harvested any of my plants, but I don't have Eco Lifestyle so that must be why it's happening for others. He does do a lot of weeding and watering for me, though, bless him.
That’s what I thought too. Sounds like a NAP. I’ve had Patchy before and he never caused any problems- I don’t think they would’ve had any reason to go back and change how he works.
I love the idea of Trenton showing up at like 4 am and going "Chaz please. Dad sucks can I stay here for a bit?" and Chaz just setting aside some money for him to take with him when he moves out (and Hazel moves in)
Suggestion for the out house. Some of the stuff from Vampires would be useful to make the walls look grungy, for example the water marks for the walls. An alternative sink maybe one from laundry day which looks like it could be used for an out house.
I'm pretty sure it's a little late to post this but Patchy not only helps you garden he'll also clean your animal sheds. He didn't steal my crops either.
Its so weird to see his "farming" greenhouse with a flooring and foundation. Round here you build those things mainly as covering on your farm patches, so theyre built in the dirt. Ive only seen them with flooring for palatial greenhouses or botanical gardens.
agree. it’s weird. I guess he does it to make it harder for himself because he needs the money for the planters. but it just looks and feels off. too much cement
I've seen both. At college our field greenhouses were on the dirt and movable... but our more permanent ones for preserving plant species or displaying them had flooring with planting areas and/or containers.
my favourite thing about watching James is when he goes "yeeeaahhh" followed by his signature laugh. Never fails to put a smile on my face. Especially whenever Batuu is mentioned. Seriously have loved this lets play!! I check every day to see if you've uploaded the next part!!
Every single time it amazes me how easily you ”add this here” and "move this back" and within a few minutes it looks so perfect and well thought out and better than anything I've ever spent hours making
My sims keep eating bread slices from the fridge when they go for leftovers. I wish there was some way to tag bread as an ingredient instead of it being considered a leftover. I like the idea of Trenton being the farmhand. An alien farmhand sounds fun.
You know you're enjoying a lets play when you're always checking the timestamp to make sure it's not close to being over😂 Also, an idea. You could get the auto water planters from eco for inside!
Should just build your own planter boxes since you mentioned in a previous video to get a wood working table plus will get handiness level up for upgrading your house too.
This (and dream home) is probably my favorite LP’s you’ve done in a while, I’m always at the edge of my seat when 3 pm rolls around to see if there’s a new episode out. I love how alive the lot feels with all the animals, especially the bunnies and birds. It just overall makes me feel happy, great job James!
I like the idea that Trenton’s parents kicked him out too and Chaz, having been on the receiving end of that, took his little brother in in return for him helping out around the farm. Let’s see some brotherly love!
I like that Trenton has moved in to help Chaz. Always good to have a few branches from the Bigwallet tree jic. Also, I still think you should integrate Tatiana Goth into the Bigwallet family - she wouldn't exist without them after all.
I hope at some point James gives the cow some treats to get flavored milk. Also, I think if you befriend the foxes they leave your hens alone. Loving this LP!
You should half-halfheartedly pursue Trenton’s life. Like make it so if Trenton gets married he’ll move out, so it’s sort of a rase ‘Can Chaz get successful before Trenton?’
I like the idea of half pursuing Trenton's life, just so he's more like family and less like a hired-hand that doesn't matter, lol... but it shouldn't be a race. That would put unnecessary expectations on Chaz and the LP, plus, it's just not healthy to live that way, to each their own. XD
James, you don’t need 9 sprinklers you only need 6! You can skip the middle row because the outer two rows of sprinklers can water the middle two rows of crops :)
James! I did actually notice in one of your previous video, that you have "checked" the boxes under "Pack Settings" under Eco Lifestyle, which means everything from Eco Living is enabled in your game! To disable voting and footprint gameplay, you need to uncheck those boxes :)
James you can craft those planters on the crafting table with a high enough handiness skill. Maybe that's how you can introduce Hazel? Chaz contracts her to make him some planters or something.
I'm absolutely loving this lets play! Also, I like the addition of Trenton on the farm. It might be nice to eventually have Trenton get together with one of the townies that came with the pack, like the pub owner, to kind of explore the pack more and then have a good reason for him deciding to move out. That way he can still be in the world/ close by to his brother, but they're not stuck together forever. Maybe that could also be a good transition for Hazel to join the household and LP if she and Chaz aren't romantically involved by then - his help around the farm left, and she's a handy sim that's tired of living in Del Sol Valley after feeling like she's "made it" in her career. That way the merge can happen whenever you feel like you've reached the end of the Dream Home Decorator LP without rushing anything.
Outhouse sink on the outside wall would let you make it a lot smaller. I've seen it a lot irl, no need to linger inside the outhouse any longer than required
you should use some debug plants and deco to get the actual farm/country feel, it feels too manicured and perfect with the normal plants. Love his series James!
I lost it at "Hennibal" lmao also, smart of you to keep Hennibal away from the other chickens, otherwise she could convince one of them to go darkside and slay the younglings at the coop.
I think you should definitely try the selling table idea! I always love to see those little farmer-run stands, I think your take on it would be really cool.
I love this let’s play. Seriously your daily content has been helping me so much! Thanks for bringing so much joy to us James! I love that you brought Trenton over out of that crazy haunted house. Both brothers born by crazy circumstances I think would stick together. (A skeleton and his dad, and an alien abducted his dad 🤣) I think Chaz would at least want to pay back his brother for help. So maybe find him a partner once hazel comes into the picture
I actually really like Trenton and the idea of him helping and being an active part of the LP. God knows these Bigwallets need good parenting skills so maybe Trenton is the awesome uncle
I got the pack yesterday and I LOVE IT! Best pack yet!😍 A thing you could to is to get a doggie! Something like a border collie would fit in really well! I don’t know if they help out in any way tho, might just be extra work….
A few things that I think could be fun :) - Move Lenny near the chickens, lamas shoo away the foxes! - Can you PLEASE get like a cat or dog haha they fit perfectly on a farm! Maybe you had a barn cat that you brought with you?
I love Trenton, he can stay !!! You could put the sink outside the toilet. It was often the case and you could decorate with a shelf. Also if you want the inside to be dirty there is some stains in building mode and some cracks and ripped wall paper
The work on this farm will never end. Having his bother along will be great. I think a pee bush would work out better. I wonder if the rabbits would get gifts for you, like the dogs do in the pee bush. Just a thought. Buy the selling table please. Fighting Father Winter...hoping the chicken would help. It's truly looking great, Love it. Thank You :) Stay Safe
Sometimes, when I'm sad, I like to think about dinner with Deli and James. Deli: "what did you film today, James?" James: "oh nothing, just looking at big eggplants."
you could buy a woodworking table to make garden planters for the greenhouse since making those costs only $70 and your handiness skill should be enough for it! and the wooden toilet would fit perfectly for the outhouse LOL
Yesssss
Yes I'm doing that with my farm family. They're still quite poor so I couldn't spend money on the planters in the catalog lol
just got to the toilet bulding part and i was thinking how much better the wooden toilet would fit it!
And there's rarely a light in the outhouse. Well maybe a battery operated lantern on the floor but usually just windows or light coming throught the cracks on the wall
I think the “low quality” wooden toilet you can make would fit indeed! He should also move the sink somewhere else since outhouses don’t usually have sinks.
food for thought: throw a party and serve obsidian egg meals
Hey there satan xD
Please do it Jamesssss hahHa
Your comment screams chaotic energy and I love it. 🤣🤣

oooh, I need to do this in my game!!!
The aubergine being 696$ with that music genuinely killed me

Yeeehehahah 👍🏻
I was gonna write this

Yes I agree

Exterior taps are common in the UK. The laundry day sink on an exterior wall next to a hosepipe decor would be 👌
Isn't there also a sink from either seasons or eco living that has the outdoor hose on it?
@@AurosOrion Yes, Eco Lifestyle has one :)

Day [SOMETHING] of screaming COWTRINA!
Honestly, it just amuses me to imagine.
I always picture him saying "Cowlene" like he did "Charlene" in that deep gravely voice XD
Maybe when cowlene dies he could use this name for his next cow
Cowlene is the new Aaw Batuu
There's still so much room for more cowsheds. Hope for Cowtrina LIVES!!

Yeah even in the german localization it's hard to understand if you need a checkmark or not

You should half-halfheartedly pursue Trenton’s life. Like make it so if Trenton gets married he’ll move out, so it’s sort of a rase ‘Can Chaz get successful before Trenton?’
trenton & hazel instead of chaz & hazel ..?
@@de4830 I'm still rooting for Candle & Hazel instead of whoever & Hazel 🙄
Agreed. Maybe Trenton is just taking a year at the farm after graduation but before going to Uni or something like that.
I like the idea of half pursuing Trenton's life, just so he's more like family and less like a hired-hand that doesn't matter, lol... but it shouldn't be a race. That would put unnecessary expectations on Chaz and the LP, plus, it's just not healthy to live that way, to each their own. XD
@@Lacrimarimus That would be fun. Like he's taking a year off before going to Uni... and in that year, maybe Chaz and Hazel just happen to meet. XD
James, you don’t need 9 sprinklers you only need 6! You can skip the middle row because the outer two rows of sprinklers can water the middle two rows of crops :)
Boosting, hopefully he'll see this
James, please get the woodworking table to make the planters/furniture!
James! I did actually notice in one of your previous video, that you have "checked" the boxes under "Pack Settings" under Eco Lifestyle, which means everything from Eco Living is enabled in your game! To disable voting and footprint gameplay, you need to uncheck those boxes :)
James you can craft those planters on the crafting table with a high enough handiness skill.
Maybe that's how you can introduce Hazel? Chaz contracts her to make him some planters or something.
I'm absolutely loving this lets play! Also, I like the addition of Trenton on the farm.
It might be nice to eventually have Trenton get together with one of the townies that came with the pack, like the pub owner, to kind of explore the pack more and then have a good reason for him deciding to move out. That way he can still be in the world/ close by to his brother, but they're not stuck together forever. Maybe that could also be a good transition for Hazel to join the household and LP if she and Chaz aren't romantically involved by then - his help around the farm left, and she's a handy sim that's tired of living in Del Sol Valley after feeling like she's "made it" in her career. That way the merge can happen whenever you feel like you've reached the end of the Dream Home Decorator LP without rushing anything.
Love the idea of his half-brother helping out! Seems so wholesome. 😁
Outhouse sink on the outside wall would let you make it a lot smaller. I've seen it a lot irl, no need to linger inside the outhouse any longer than required
I love that you added Trenton but am quite surprised that you aged him up since you wanted to try out the kid gameplay.
you should use some debug plants and deco to get the actual farm/country feel, it feels too manicured and perfect with the normal plants. Love his series James!
Do the umbrellas make their way to the bootroom???
Edit: they do not. Soggy hallway endures lol
I think one of the most exciting and adorable things with James's Let's Plays is His EXCITEMENT!!!!!! LOVE LOVE SEEING JAMES PLAY SIMS MAKES MY DAY
Aw yeah! Another part! (Read with same enthusiasm as James says "aw yeah Batuu!") 😄
James: sets up sprinklers
Also James: sends sims to water everything by hand
I lost it at "Hennibal" lmao also, smart of you to keep Hennibal away from the other chickens, otherwise she could convince one of them to go darkside and slay the younglings at the coop.
I'd be more worried she'd eat the other hens
The evil chicken fulfilled his first dastardly plan: traping santa
Keep the brothers together, it's so sweet! Also, digging the out house & the glass house!!!
I just gotta say: I love how long these episodes are. I watch them while I do my sons middle of the night feedings ☺️
Not gonna lie, i have been refreshing my feed about 50x waiting for this 😍
Same
I think you should definitely try the selling table idea! I always love to see those little farmer-run stands, I think your take on it would be really cool.
I love Trenton being included in the game.
I’m 12 minutes in and I’m already so into Trenton. Bigwallet Let’s Plays are just the best.
I love this let’s play. Seriously your daily content has been helping me so much! Thanks for bringing so much joy to us James! I love that you brought Trenton over out of that crazy haunted house. Both brothers born by crazy circumstances I think would stick together. (A skeleton and his dad, and an alien abducted his dad 🤣) I think Chaz would at least want to pay back his brother for help. So maybe find him a partner once hazel comes into the picture
I actually really like Trenton and the idea of him helping and being an active part of the LP. God knows these Bigwallets need good parenting skills so maybe Trenton is the awesome uncle
I got the pack yesterday and I LOVE IT! Best pack yet!😍 A thing you could to is to get a doggie! Something like a border collie would fit in really well! I don’t know if they help out in any way tho, might just be extra work….
If Chaz is going to walk around topless then he needs to get sunburn so we can all have the quintessential English experience
you could also exploit the gardening club into giving you a hand
A few things that I think could be fun :)
- Move Lenny near the chickens, lamas shoo away the foxes!
- Can you PLEASE get like a cat or dog haha they fit perfectly on a farm! Maybe you had a barn cat that you brought with you?
Put a pond in that empty area for now!
I love Trenton, he can stay !!! You could put the sink outside the toilet. It was often the case and you could decorate with a shelf. Also if you want the inside to be dirty there is some stains in building mode and some cracks and ripped wall paper
The work on this farm will never end. Having his bother along will be great. I think a pee bush would work out better. I wonder if the rabbits would get gifts for you, like the dogs do in the pee bush. Just a thought. Buy the selling table please. Fighting Father Winter...hoping the chicken would help. It's truly looking great, Love it. Thank You :) Stay Safe
I'm absolutely LOVING this series. Reminds me so much of the seasons rags to riches. I can't wait to see the farm all build up 😁😁
“Spending money on things we don’t really need is my speciality.” I felt that lol
Sometimes, when I'm sad, I like to think about dinner with Deli and James.
Deli: "what did you film today, James?"
James: "oh nothing, just looking at big eggplants."
This is unrelated but the picture in the thumbnail looks so peaceful, I'm jealous of that sim lol
I love how many of our ideas James works into his LP's! It makes the series feel so interactive :D
Simple living is hands down my favourite lot trait/challenge, love the added immersion!
Love that you’ve added brother Trenton. Please play him also…it will make for funny gameplay! Love to see you continuing the Bigwallet series!
I use patchy in just about every lot I play and never had him harvest my stuff
It's been so long since the last time I was this invested in a let's play. I'm having so much fun! Thank you, James.
