pro tip for life: if youre going on a camping trip and it might storm/snow a lot, BRING HONEY. it is sugary so if you run out of food and water the sugar will help keep your energy up, as well as it helps raise the bodies temp so you might survive longer with it than without. (for the instance you become stranded and lost)
I was surprised that you didn't mention that you can kill Sims or age them prematurely with the Flower arranging table as well. I think it's at level 9 of the skill when you can scent with Death Flowers and if you give an arrangement scented with a Death Flower to an Elder they will immediately die. If you give it to anyone else, it will age them immediately to the next life stage. It's a lot of fun, really!
@@jessicalovescookies1289 there are so many things you can do with the different scents for the flower arranging table, even extending your life. It's a seriously under-used piece of gameplay imo.
Yes, I found out a few days ago. You can basically become immortal, and become a serial killer through flower arranging. 😅 Super OP, no idea why I didn't know this earlier.
I was minding my business while playing one of my families and when I panned over to the scarecrow, he popped up from his stand and went to watch tv in the living. It freaked me out because I had no idea that could happen😂😂
I use the thermostat in practically every home I build but I never use the bees or the sprinkler, I always forget about those. I think I’m going to start doing that, especially with the new cottage living pack. Full farm esthetic. And how did I never know we had a scarecrow?!
this pack is certainly worth the buy tbh. Adds the seasons (obv) + holidays (and also customizable holidays) that is already an enough gamechanger but then there's the different items for gameplay which are all pretty fun and keep you entertained
Thank you! I know players that have had the Sims prior games over the years complain about Sims 4. I had Sims 3 and got so frustrated trying to build that I just quit. I think this game is just phenomenal. It is gorgeous and with all the packs and unique features they provide, I cannot understand how people are bored. Thank you for all these tips; you do a great job!
One thing I personally do is make a “Decorate for Christmas” holiday a couple days before Christmas so then I can enjoy the decorations longer and it opens up another spot for holiday activities on Christmas.
Thanks for the flower arrangement tips. I didn't know that. I do love the tip about the decoration box. I have used that trick of selling the stuff to help my Sim pay rent hahaha
I didn't know the bluebell scent stops arrangements from decaying. The reason I don't use the arranging table much is because the arrangements decay, but I'll definitely be using it more now.
I use a little mod that costs about 799 Simoleans ingame, but it makes the thermostat automatic, summer it will cool & winter it will heat. It's by littlemsams.
LittleMsSams has so much cool and useful mods, they're even compatible with the S4MP mod. The only thing i'm missing is a mod where i can use services such as gardener or butler at my "retail store"
I really appreciate these videos. There is so much in these expansions that is hard to find even if you know it should be in there somewhere, and you are reintroducing so much stuff on top of it that has not been pointed out to the player since the marketing for the original pack release ended years ago. Kudos.
I love the flower arrangement skill and patchy. When i get my hands in cottage living my family with the flower lady will move to a farm to let her own flowers and veggies grow. I have the bees in few households but I'll add them to more I guess :) And I have the Christmas tree in ALL my households! In the house in winter, in the household inventory the rest of the time. Really love this feature. Seasons really was a very good pack!
Peter I cannot believe it, I legit watched your season of Survivor a couple of weeks ago randomly out of nowhere, then was watching this video and was like "hey, I recognise that guy..." WHAT ARE THE ODDS!
@@PeteyPlaysIt it was a brilliant season and was rooting for you, you bossed it getting so far and ahead of some strong contenders! You did the LGBTQIA+ community proud :)
As always Petey, your videos are huge help, I learned a lot, thank you, from now on when I need a video guide regarding sims 4 I will always go to your channel first 🙂
Thanks Katarina! I think seasons is my favourite just because no matter what family you're playing or what you're doing in game it enriches the game and makes it feel much more cohesive, realistic and complete :). Which is your favourite?
Funny how all your underused items are staples in my gameplay but all your standouts i dont use or dont know about... so thanks this was very helpful!!
if you have a spellcaster that can duplicate objects, or im sure if you used the cloning device from get to work, you can duplicate the money tree plant/seed and have a bunch for free instead of having to save up 5,000 satisfaction points each time. i did it as a joke with my friends and when it worked, i kept doing it and my sims easily made a fortune :)
I no longer get the money tree as something I can buy with aspiration points, although I have sometimes found one other places, such as in a dumpster. Don't know when that changed. I had the scarecrow once, but he was evil and kinda creeped me out, so I've never had another one lol. Also a little leery of the weather machine, as one of my Sims died while using one. The other things you mentioned, I usually use, except for the bee box, as my Sim seemed obsessed with it and got stung often.
I don't have any of the packs yet, but I'm thinking of getting Seasons mostly for weather effects and more gardening. Just tell me I can woohoo with Patchy and I'm sold.
I always forget it until suddenly the Sims get cold or hot then I go buy one immediately 😅 I should probably stop that for some more gameplay aspect hahaha
Hey Petey, as a fellow Aussie (I'm also in Sydney), would you know how to move Winterfest to Summer? I just bought Seasons today (well, yesterday as it's after midnight now) and really looking forward to getting into it! And, of course, trying out of some your great ideas. :)
Waitt... there are people that don't use the thermostat??? I could never as soon as it becomes cold outside my sims complain that it's cold in the house....
I believe you can! But similar to food, I think you need to sell it before it goes off. So scenting with a bluebell I would say is a good idea if you want to go down this path.
Ahaha I do say Alas, but I've been using it in the wrong context a lot in older videos. I know now and I've stopped so apologies about all the incorrectly used alas'
@@rainatmidnight yeah that's true, it just seems unnecessary to me on videos of this nature honestly. I'd actually rather that someone just leave a comment expressing what they dislike about the video rather than just "disliking" an uncontroversial video with zero feedback
@@dxrkicey62 Yes. Most of the time it doesn't even work. Plants still dry out. Sometimes you can fudge it to work by moving the plants around, but that doesn't always work. But that's yet another "gardening" glitch that will never be fixed. The whole system is crap.

How do you go on a camping trip? Is it in one of the phone menus?
@@Lucas-wj8kl i think he meant real life
@@Mycoconut-xm5cs Oh
@@Lucas-wj8kl in sims you can use outdoor retreat and take a camping vacation
Oh wow good to know! Gonna pack some honey sticks in my emergency packs
One thing to note: The Money Tree has larger harvests when planted INDOORS, or "Sheltered".
I like the thought of rich sims having them in their basements as an illuminati secret
@@cymbamcreynolds8838 omg 😆
Also for some reason when you put a harvestable money tree in the family inventory you get more fruit than you are supposed to
I could not get the money seed to germinate in a pot inside. D: Do I need to use the big planter?
@@TrioSonata from my experience it needs to be planted outside, and then once it germinates move it to the large planter.

Money Tree?! Scarecrow that comes to LIFE?! POCKET BEEEEEES?! What have I been doing with my life?!
I was minding my business while playing one of my families and when I panned over to the scarecrow, he popped up from his stand and went to watch tv in the living. It freaked me out because I had no idea that could happen😂😂
@@Mr825rissa imagine just going downstairs to your living room and then seeing your scarecrow watch tv
@@thegrinningplague "honey the scarecrow is watching tv"
Most of the things he said as unused objects are the things that I always put in every household I played.
I use the thermostat in practically every home I build but I never use the bees or the sprinkler, I always forget about those. I think I’m going to start doing that, especially with the new cottage living pack. Full farm esthetic. And how did I never know we had a scarecrow?!

this just convinced me to finally buy seasons, there goes my money hahahahah 💸💛
Healthcare redux randomly gives some of your sims a deadly bee allergy actually lmao
people don't use the thermostat? I put it in every house lol
I use it a lot too, but sometimes I just completely forget it even exists. Because we didn’t have it for a long time.
I put it in every house and still don’t know what it does. (Just got seasons a month ago or so)

The sprinkler cleans chickens if you have Cottage living

I always make a flower shop with the flower arrangement table
I'm surprised the thermostat is an underused item. If your sim lives in a world that gets hot or old, don't you kind of need it?
I use the thermostat with every build.
I'm so sorry to my bees because I always forget about them 🐝
I literally have all expansion packs without ever having played with them lmao
Heard that the sprinklers will keep your chickens clean. Not sure if it helps with the coop.
this is such a weird comment out of context
I tried to decorate the tree and my sims just set it on fire!😂😂😂
5:13 and 6:30 are these really underused cause I use it all the time
can the flower arrangment thing be sold if you have the get to work expansion and sell it in a retail store?
I believe you can! But similar to food, I think you need to sell it before it goes off. So scenting with a bluebell I would say is a good idea if you want to go down this path.
You absolutely can. They decay really fast, so bluebells are definitely vital to making it viable.
Yes
I need the scarecrow so he can become friends with bonehilda
What career outfit is the female sim wearing at 6:46
What was that floating froglike thing when they were decorating the tree?
Oh that was my sim's familiar as she's a spellcaster [Realm of Magic game pack]
