@@brittasmit I was thinking to have Mother come back as a ghost now, work through the Soul's Journey, and do Rebirth. The Rebirthed sim could be the 10th spouse if it's timed right as they can come back at an older age.
I think Sandalwood should switch to the reaper career AFTER he reaches the top of the love consultant career. The first few spouses he still believes in happy endings and love, but in the wake of becoming a widower so many times he succumbs to the dark side.
The final boss... I mean, the final spouse in this series should be Olive Specter. Considering how many ex-husbands she has canonically and how many ex-spouses Sandalwood will have by the end of this series, I just need to know which of the two will outlive the other 😂
That would be great, but Sandalwood definitely has to Woohoo with Grim at least once before that. Otherwise, the two of them can't realize the common enemy in their love lives...
It makes sense that Sandalwood would join the reaper career after a few of his partners have passed. So maybe switch careers after he's gone through a few more deaths 😢
Well, honestly, since he got into a fight with grim I really feel like the reaper career makes sense. Grim now hates sandalwood and wants to ruin his life, his chance at love, so death follows him.
I love the idea of each new spouse coming in and redecorating the house to fit their style. Like they're jealous of a demised person and want to try to get rid of any evidence of their existence.
Maybe Sandalwood would want to be a funeral director to honour and pay respect to his passed partners? I think the reaper career goes against him not having control and i doubt he’d want to be called to reap his own partners. Also, it’s funny that Mother Nature died to a man made power and object
@annoar9776 Im pretty sure it's because james didn't 'get to know' her last trait during the dates. If you look at the new dates, they also only have two traits because the sim doesn't know any more than two from cupid corner
The idea that Sandalwood's entire career was focused on relationships, particularly love, and then after losing love, its so intense that thanotology becomes the whole focus
I think Sandalwood should continue in the romance consultant career at least until he's lost some spouses. At that point maybe he joins the reaper career to find out why the grim reaper doesn't want him to find love.
Imagine your spouse dies literally 30 minutes after marriage and moving in and your immediate next thought is where's my next date xD I think Sandalwood should do the ghost historian aspiration and work as an undertaker so he can talk to all his deceased spouses so he can try and figure out what's causing them to die! If they all mention he's rampaging it would lead him to wanting to cure himself.
I think Grim should be last partner; the only one, the one that cannot die - for they are Death themselves, end up as Sandalwood's final and only successful marriage...AND THAT WAY YOU CAN END UP THE SERIES WITH THEM HAVING CHILDREN!!!!
Actually, there is a full-face rock sculpture of Decebalus on the cost of the Danube River in Romania, but it is more visible from our side (in Serbia). There is a lot of history there, but the sculpture was finished in early 2000.
The reaper career doesn't make sense with this storyline. He's not deliberately killing people, he's looking for love. The death theme is supposed to be accidental, not full blown being death himself.
Well, Grim Reaper isn't killing people. He just helps the souls to go to the afterlife. If Sandalwood feels guilty about his wife dying while he was away, it could make sense that he wants to help deceased sims to pass on peacefully.
Mother should be the only exception to continue to have a gravesite instead of putting her urn in the cript because she's mother nature she would want her body to belong to the earth 😢
I think more than the reaper career, i see Sandalwood like an undertaker, visiting and taking care of his wifes' tombs 😅 He is a sweet soul, i don't think he likes taking someone's life. Buuut the reaper career is more exiting, so...
I know right, unfortunately I don’t think that’ll happen. If only he would’ve made his lovestruck lets play months ago when the pack came out.. then he’d be almost finished and ready to start the new one for this pack
I think when it comes to choosing date activities in the create a date menu it would be totally fine to pick them instead of using the randomizer. That way you can pick activities that make sense for the location.
Like others mentioned, I don’t think that Sandalwood would be interested in the reaping career right away. Maybe after like 5-7 of his spouses die, it can cause him to want to ask Grim directly, on why his spouses keep meeting unfortunate demises
I feel like the undertaker career would make thematic sense after losing his first wife. But if you want an active career I guess the reaper one would be ok
Yeah I think undertaker as well, and save the reaper one for the next rags to reaping series 😅 The triplets could be cute, each with a different career from the pack (the two branches of reaper, and undertaker). Sandalwood would not become a reaper, it makes no sense. But also being a love consultant maybe doesn't make sense for him either, he's so sad all the time. Undertaker seems like a good fit, learning more about the dead whilst caring for them.
You should make the spare room like a shrine to all his dead exes. All the marriage certificates in there and something resembling them in front of each one
I was thinking maybe have Sandalwood stay in the Love Consultant career for now and join the Reaper career after a few spouses; maybe he's trying to figure out what happened to his love ones, or trying to figure out what comes After Death to make sure they're okay. Once is a tragedy, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern and all that.
I think Sandalwood should get the kleptomaniac trait and steal a new item from each wedding. Then they can all be marked as heirlooms and his kid will get all of his random stolen junk. ETA: also, for each of Sandalwood’s partners, you could get them some aspiration points to retrait them to have the Chased By Death trait. Having that will make them more likely to die the first time from different things. It also kind of makes sense from a storytelling aspect!
If I had a nickel for every time James made a series about dating people only to ditch them later on, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
I really think you should stick to the Lovestruck pack with Sandalwood! Then after his journey is done, you can go back to the Bigwallet main storyline and do Life & Death.
I think you should stick to the lovestruck career in this LP and save the Life & Death stuff for the next LP. With the bucketlist and heirlooms we´ll get some gameplay Life & Death anyway.
After you finish the challenge, all your partners are in graves, and you cure your lycanthropy, you should marry Rolanda and move her and Claire into your home, finally being able to live happily ever after.
Love consultant makes total sense because he's looking for love, but the reaper career totally makes sense too because it's like death just follows him. Now that he's fought the grim reaper because of mother nature, I feel like grim is some kind of mafia leader. He recruits sandlewood to work for him because grim hates sandlewood. He wants to ruin his chances at love, but sandlewood doesn't know why any of this is happening because he doesn't have control over rampaging.
I really hope we end up with a weird Winchester house where Sandalwood keeps adding on rooms for his spouses but can't bring himself to remove them/renovate them. Maybe he keeps their urn in each room like a memorial.
Love the idea of using the heirloom feature for special items left by the spouses, could be really cool to use the funeral display items or the lockable legacy portrait item too?
I think Sandalwood should continue with the Lovestruck career. This is just an off-shoot. Laird and Glame's child should do a Life and Death Rags to Riches.
Clara (Sandalwood's daughter), could do the deep dive follow up into the Life and Death content too. Would fit nicely since this side of the family has been doing the more spooky supernatural content since Ambrose and then the Three Brothers LP, while Reginald's side ironically went into the more mundane/"normal" family content (despite originally coming down from the Realm of Magic LP).
@@annoar9776 This is kind of fun because there are the Three Sisters of Fate in greek myth so maybe one of them could be the one who "cuts the thread" aka a reaper and join that career path!
you just always having to talk as Sandalwood and saying “Mother” is giving me real strong Norman and Norma Bates “Psycho” vibes and i can’t stop laughing about it 😂
I would love to see the new Reaper Career tbh, as you said the Love Guru is a rabbit hole and the Reaper is active. Could always tell the story that Sandalwood works with death daily but is still surprised/horrified when Death touches him via his spouses.
I love the idea that each partner comes into the house and renovates the space to suit their style. Except for the deceased spouse's favorite room, left untouched and abandoned in remembrance of the dead.
This is so serial-killer coded 😂😂 Individual builds special spaces in their house for their partner. Spouse of individual mysteriously “dies”. Individual is left with said space in their house. They build a new space for each future partner (victim). They really feel like mementos/souvenirs with sentimental value which the offender is keeping as an item to remember the murder 😅😅😅 I have my eyes on you Sandalwood.
I think the way to make the reaper career make some sense in the storyline is if he joined it to understand what happened to his spouses after they died or maybe he could have made a deal with grim that if he worked for him eventually he could get them back or be given a cure for being a werewolf
I think you should do the reaper career, well, depends on if you are planning a life & death LP and how in depth that one will be. I'm itching for L&D content though and I feel like the themes are very fitting to this let's play aswell! I love your idea that Sandalwood switches som romance consultant to reaper career after the death of his first love lol it's very fitting.
I feel like it would fit the storyline for every spouse to acquire the chased by death trait as a part of sandalwood's curse and it would help them die quicker.
I think it would have been more fitting for Sandalwood to wait for the reaper career. Right now, he’s focused on love and grief, and doesn’t even know he’s cursed yet. I think about half way through he would have finally accepted some death and guilt. Maybe Rolanda can be his end-game with the child, once he’s cured. Also…. Maybe keep the wife around a bit longer. Nature didn’t really get to do anything at all in the home before she was gone. She didn’t really feel like a character. Short dates, quick marriage, a home reno and instantly dead!
I am loving this challenge!!! Everytime I see it pop up, I can’t wait to sit down and watch it!!!! I think the new life and death pack is going to work really well with this challenge!
It seems that if they haven't chosen a tombstone/urn, and they die indoors, when you place the urn outdoors it stays what it started as rather than switching to a tombstone as we're used to.
You can swim in the Baleful Bog and become a temporary ghost. It would allow Sandalwood to explore the ghost abilities and get some for a short time. Just don't do it too many times in a row because it will kill your sim.
I think there is a big change in Sim’s personality traits. I just aged up twin teens into young adults. There was no prompt to add a 3rd trait. Maybe to get more traits, they have to have more experiences? The parents of the teens have “Additional Traits” in CAS, which are listed below the other 3 with a … hexagon icon.
I also thought being in the love guru career would work until 2-3 spouses in before realizing death is taunting him by taking away his loves and then he joins it to confront Grim. Kind of hilarious though that Grim asked him even though he fought with him 😂
I think the reaper career would be good unless you have other plans for it. Also you could give Sandalwood the chased by death trait. Just seems fitting.
The chased by death trait makes Sandalwood more likely to die, though, which isn't the goal. It makes you die first time from being shocked, things like that.
The wellness aspiration where you just practice yoga for 6 hours, take some baths and listen to new age music (which is easy to do, just have it playing all the time, it will passively accumulate) gives the moment of clarity reward trait - which removes every single negative moodlet instantly. including all the grief ones, I use it all the time for my super sim because they know a lot of people. 😂 highly reccomend
Maybe you could add a rule about maintaining a relationship with potential kids. Like having a regular visiting schedule and/or regular sleepovers. IF he happens to rampage during a sleepover, then that is added guilt that he must live with lol
I think it makes sense for Sandlewood to switch to the grim reaper career after the first death. Because he's desperately trying to get her back, either as love or closure. Maybe even after a couple deaths because then he's trying to seek to understand the nature of death and why he is plagued by it
I like the black widow perspective. However I feel like you could also make a Life and Death focused let's play after. Live in Ravenwood and everything else, maybe with Laird's children
poor Sandalwood, he just wants love but all he keeps finding is sadness and death. the new Life and Death pack came out just in time for this Let's Play! also: try calling the sadness hotline, letting him cry it out in bed, and giving himself a pep talk in the mirror to get over the sad mood buff quicker for future dates.
Random: I miss in the sims 3 when you were with someone and they would automatically cuddle when they fell asleep. I thought that was a really cute feature. Don’t understand why they got rid of it. And the new cuddling.. it’s not a common way people fall asleep like.. or maybe that’s just me being a wiggly worm in bed. 😳
bonsais tend to be better of outside :) in traditional bonsai its important that trees go through the natural seasonal cycle, and they get their pruning and repoting in specific parts of the growth cycles. a lot of bonsai you buy in stores are tropical species though, so in temperate climates those do better inside

Perfect!
He said or so casually too 😂
Reaper calling Sandalwood to be like "I heard you may have killed your wife, have you considered making that a career?" Peak Sims.
Maybe at the end of ten dead spouses and him being in the reaper career, we can all vote on who to bring back to be his forever spouse
I already know I'm gonna be voting for Mother 😢
Along these lines maybe we can play them as a ghost and deal with all their "unfinished business" to be brought back.
@@marli8907 YES! Sandslwood should do the unfinished business of the spouse he wants to ressurrect!
@@brittasmit I was thinking to have Mother come back as a ghost now, work through the Soul's Journey, and do Rebirth. The Rebirthed sim could be the 10th spouse if it's timed right as they can come back at an older age.

I think Sandalwood should switch to the reaper career AFTER he reaches the top of the love consultant career. The first few spouses he still believes in happy endings and love, but in the wake of becoming a widower so many times he succumbs to the dark side.
Up
Yes 100%!
I agree!
boosting this!! i wanna see more of the lovestruck career before he switches it up
Yes please! At least a little more of this career before switching!
The final boss... I mean, the final spouse in this series should be Olive Specter. Considering how many ex-husbands she has canonically and how many ex-spouses Sandalwood will have by the end of this series, I just need to know which of the two will outlive the other 😂
oooooh yesss!!!!
YES! And it will be Sandalwood and Olive will be the forever partner (she needs to be in the family tree). 😂
That would be great, but Sandalwood definitely has to Woohoo with Grim at least once before that. Otherwise, the two of them can't realize the common enemy in their love lives...
YES!!
YES
Yes James please make the church bench an heirloom!!!
Rolanda should have a will and set sandalwood as the recipient of the baby if she also dies (maybe if she’s chased by death)
This!!!👏🏻
James: "Oh, I stole that from the church"
James like 2 seconds later: "I'm going to keep it, because I got it fair and square."
Neighborhood had “sharing is caring” turned on
"you remind me of my ex-wife." WELL MAYBE it's because Teagan's dress is the same one Mother Nature had on, just a different color. 🤔🤔😳😳
It makes sense that Sandalwood would join the reaper career after a few of his partners have passed. So maybe switch careers after he's gone through a few more deaths 😢

100% agree
funeral director is a branch of the reaper career right? I think this makes sense!
@@emilytamar it’s the undertaker career, the second new one :)

Why does she have only two?
Idk, but making her bacon after pointing out that she has fewer traits was just the best... @annoar9776
@annoar9776
Im pretty sure it's because james didn't 'get to know' her last trait during the dates. If you look at the new dates, they also only have two traits because the sim doesn't know any more than two from cupid corner

Mother Nature did fix the fridge, but during the rampage it got broken. Love your videos!

YES!
Yes I love this storyline. Turning to the dark side and going in search of answers for his personal life.

Right every time he casually mentioned eating a rock I laughed so hard.

You should make appartments styled for all the exes and let the ghosts of all the sims you killed live in them
You can swim in the Baleful Bog and become a temporary ghost. It would allow Sandalwood to explore the ghost abilities and get some for a short time. Just don't do it too many times in a row because it will kill your sim.

I also thought being in the love guru career would work until 2-3 spouses in before realizing death is taunting him by taking away his loves and then he joins it to confront Grim. Kind of hilarious though that Grim asked him even though he fought with him 😂
If you like the first fountain, just put gravel under it and you will have an endless fountain! you could even use plants
Sandalwood should totally get one of his dates that he doesn't marry knocked up each cycle. His brides die too fast to create the next generation. 😂
I think the reaper career would be good unless you have other plans for it. Also you could give Sandalwood the chased by death trait. Just seems fitting.
The chased by death trait makes Sandalwood more likely to die, though, which isn't the goal. It makes you die first time from being shocked, things like that.
SO SO SO good to see this series back!! ♥
The wellness aspiration where you just practice yoga for 6 hours, take some baths and listen to new age music (which is easy to do, just have it playing all the time, it will passively accumulate) gives the moment of clarity reward trait - which removes every single negative moodlet instantly. including all the grief ones, I use it all the time for my super sim because they know a lot of people. 😂 highly reccomend
Maybe you could add a rule about maintaining a relationship with potential kids. Like having a regular visiting schedule and/or regular sleepovers. IF he happens to rampage during a sleepover, then that is added guilt that he must live with lol
I think it makes sense for Sandlewood to switch to the grim reaper career after the first death. Because he's desperately trying to get her back, either as love or closure. Maybe even after a couple deaths because then he's trying to seek to understand the nature of death and why he is plagued by it
James Turner without context: "Mother is kind of a God"... I love it here
I like the black widow perspective. However I feel like you could also make a Life and Death focused let's play after. Live in Ravenwood and everything else, maybe with Laird's children
Yeeeey been looking forward to this for ages!! Thanks James 😊
I love that baby wolves howl when they cry it's so cute
poor Sandalwood, he just wants love but all he keeps finding is sadness and death. the new Life and Death pack came out just in time for this Let's Play! also: try calling the sadness hotline, letting him cry it out in bed, and giving himself a pep talk in the mirror to get over the sad mood buff quicker for future dates.
Random: I miss in the sims 3 when you were with someone and they would automatically cuddle when they fell asleep. I thought that was a really cute feature. Don’t understand why they got rid of it. And the new cuddling.. it’s not a common way people fall asleep like.. or maybe that’s just me being a wiggly worm in bed. 😳
Love this series and i would love to see a more classic rags to riches of life and death 😊
11:49 ... she's vegeterian 😅
bonsais tend to be better of outside :) in traditional bonsai its important that trees go through the natural seasonal cycle, and they get their pruning and repoting in specific parts of the growth cycles. a lot of bonsai you buy in stores are tropical species though, so in temperate climates those do better inside
