I have two tips for you: you can put your cell phone on silent, just click on the cell phone icon and then on this symbol 🔈.When you get electricity, you can make preped vegetables in the mixer with any vegetable, and with these preped vegetables you can make garden salad without needing lettuce and tomatoes
Don't forget the wild birds will help you with bugs in the garden, and Patchy could help too! Also, try turning off the power consumption on items like the fridge and stove. Loving this series!
@BonnieBuggie I know, right?! I started an off the grid game after the first episode of this and was freaking out because the "...power surplus..." "...used up all the power reserves" messages were constantly popping up. I just so happened to stumble across the option on the stove 😅 You can do it on all the plumbing too
Top Tip: Selling your produce is best done on a Saturday during the weekly Finchwick Festival. If you haggle you can get +25% (otherwise +10%) value. Also, you can get some unusual items from the two stores.
I LOVE this series!!! I actually think you should do more indulgent series like this! I love to watch your videos when I play sims and having you play something you WANT to play makes me feel like I’m playing with you!
So many things happened in this episode so fast!😂 Got a cat, and a dog, and a llama, got engaged, had him move in, with his horse so now she has a horse, got bees, and moreeeee Making my heartbeat go up from all the things she had to multitask now!😅
I’m always impressed when people can have a cute little farmhouse type Sims play like this because I tried it one time and my animals were sad, my plants were dead, my Sims needs were garbage…
We don’t mind whatever lighting is happening. We are here to listen to your funny and great videos. We haven’t seen the sun for 9 days in the Netherlands. I was happy to see some sun on you. Enjoy! Great series! Makes me wanna play the sims.
The whole background plot line with sarah is killing me. her confessing her feelings after just having a baby with her husband, continuously calling robin, asking her out and showing up to her home. THEN robin gets ENGAGED and sarah calls robin congratulating her, asks if she should have ANOTHER BABY with her husband like some sort of way to try and fix her collapsing marriage then IMMEDIATELY says she's unsatisfied with her inexistent relationship with robin. what a trip i love it😭
I did this challenge a while ago, where I had 2 Sims go start an off the grid farm situation. With 2 adult Sims, it wasn't too hard, but then my sim's partner died while she was pregnant with their 3rd child and so my poor sim was a single parent to a child, toddler, and newborn while tending the garden, repairing the wind turbine, cooking the meals, milking the cow, collecting the eggs, and doing the laundry 😭 It was the first time I was genuinely stressed playing the Sims.
i'm so serious the Scott couples gives insane poly energy, the first time I played Cottage Living my sim got in a throuple with them before that feature even existed
Makes me want to start the legacy with it and pretend it’s the family founders/settlers in the 1800s and be rich old money famous in the “modern” generations 😂
The EcoLifestyle fabrication skill needs to be part of this series. I suggest traveling to Evergreen Harbor for the dumpster diving and for the recycling and fabrication skills. Then you can make almost all the furniture in the house!🏠
I mentioned on the first video, but I love playing off the grid with Simple living. I also use the mods from BrazenLotus. They have a Preserving mod, where you can dry wheat to make flour, yeast, sugar, etc. They also have a mod that will allow you to create logs to use for wood crafting. I love using their mods for this type of playthrough.
Your sim “Justin Guy” (just a guy) is really reminding me of my test sim, “Gene Eric Mann” (generic man) whom I got too attached to and started a whole playthrough with. Two icons, honestly
One thing I do when playing with all this craziness is to make my sim a spell caster but only for scrubaroo spell it helps to keep the cow and lama clean and happy
If it helps, my partner's grandpa had a farm and they never had the farm dog inside, even during the harsh winters in the prairies. She got multiple doghouses outside, each with a comfy bed and a heater to keep her warm. She'd even bark when visitors arrived to let her grandpa know that people were on the grounds, and after he let her know that it was okay, she'd come over and ask for pets.
I was waiting for part two! Love this series, makes me want to play that way in the Sims, I just don't know as many tricks as you do to make it work more efficiently
Maybe starting a club with Justin would help because you could set household tasks and gardening. Anytime the sims are home you can start a gathering and have them autonomously work on skills or clean up
I'm sure someone's already done it but it would be cool to have a let's play of someone like Rapunzel/Snow White/Sleeping Beauty where you are restricted to your location and have to live off only your lot/neighborhood. You have to avoid people, be completely off the grid and have simple living. For relationships, you have to rely on people visiting your lot for potential relationship prospects. If you have cottage living you could talk to the birds, etc. since many of them get helped by wildlife.
Cats and Dogs will go in to the P-bush , sometimes obsessively, and "battle" other animals . The Feather pile and notification of the cat being sprayed by a skunk indicate that's what happened around 7:25 & 8:10 timestamps. I have ended up putting fences around the bush (leaving the Right Side of the directional arrows on bush at least one grid tile away as thats the side sims access it on) I set the gate to Deny access to All Pets as I usually have the "Anything Goes Party Bush" on lot's. The Pets can need a pricey Vet Visit after altercations in the Shrubbery , it's best to block them from it unless you like the hassle.
Anyone else remember lilsimsie’s original off-the-grid let’s-play from years and years ago? She had a cottage in the outdoor retreat world and the series just stopped. So glad she started a new one!
This is such a fun series! I'd love to see you add an extra challenge so you can stretch it out beyond a mini-series! We love a healthy dose of chaos. Lol
Love this series! This is on my sims to-do list! I’m currently playing Not-So-Berry pink generation and not wanting to stop that to play other sims yet 😅💖
Get the Cottage Living bird tree so they can help to eat those bugs from the crops 😊 Love the series ! Edit: Also the pets keeps getting sprayed by skunks if there is a pee bush on the lot
Now you have the Bees you dont need the Soy wax, you can use Bees wax to make the candles, just getting the Bits is the hard part. and if you raise the Roof Turbines up onto a tall column it will look like a wind farm and not so big on your roof, that way you can just put them at the back of the lot
If you use a regular trash can and put plates in it you can rummage for bits and pieces with every item you throw away. You get about 10-15 per time. Easier than a recycler!
Petition to turn this into an off the grid legacy challenge 🙋♂️
Love that idea and every new gen has to start over
Oooooo yeaaaaasss🙋🏻♀️
YES
🙋🏽♀️
yasssss

i’ve never seen the silent mode work. it doesnt work for me and i saw a bunch of people saying it doesnt work. does it work for you?
Don't forget the wild birds will help you with bugs in the garden, and Patchy could help too!

YOU CAN TURN OFF POWER CONSUMPTION??? I wondered why my off-the-grid save ate thru power when I never used anything 😭

"...used up all the power reserves" messages were constantly popping up. I just so happened to stumble across the option on the stove 😅 You can do it on all the plumbing too
honestly a pool party as a final goal could be neat!! like a big summer harvest party at the 'pond' (pool or actual pond) on her land

the lighting in the beginning is so pretty kayla!!!
The birds from the little bird tree will eat the insects from the plants if you befriend them!!

I absolutely love the immediate chaos abby brought. I would expect nothing less from a fellow abby

5:35 the implication that the bush is robin's litter box
OH- WHAT
She's not wrong 😂
You could get the scarecrow and befriend it. It will then take care of your plants
I love this series. Usually, I'm more here for the builds but this one is right up my ally.
i'm so serious the Scott couples gives insane poly energy, the first time I played Cottage Living my sim got in a throuple with them before that feature even existed
@@samanthamreser you are so correct it's not even funny
I love this series so much! Its just so kayla coded lol!!!!
u can tell she enjoys this series too loll
this series has inspired me to make my own version of this challenge and i’m having so much fun
AHH this makes me wanna start a legacy like this! Or have it included in my legacy, as a generation
Makes me want to start the legacy with it and pretend it’s the family founders/settlers in the 1800s and be rich old money famous in the “modern” generations 😂
i cannot stress enough how much i need this series to go on as long as it can. i’m obsessed!! thank you for the amazing videos simsie
THE ANIMALS BREAKING IN ARE SENDING ME
Sarah got promoted at THE BAR SHE OWNS???
nepo-baby 😂
Please please please make this a regular series!!!! Love this so much!
The EcoLifestyle fabrication skill needs to be part of this series. I suggest traveling to Evergreen Harbor for the dumpster diving and for the recycling and fabrication skills. Then you can make almost all the furniture in the house!🏠
I am in love with this series. It's so fun and makes me want to do this with my own sims!
as a person named Abby, i’m glad to be a part of the household as a cat 😆🤍
Simsie is out here straight up ETHEREAL with that lighting ✨☀️

omg i got so excited to see another video from you from this series! i absolutely love it and think you’re super brave to do this, i could never!
I really like this serie! :) Would love to see something like this for the Lagacy challenge
I was waiting for part two! Love this series, makes me want to play that way in the Sims, I just don't know as many tricks as you do to make it work more efficiently
If you still don't want a recycling machine on the lot maybe there can some kinda junkyard lot with a recycler the sims can travel to.
Abby’s mom really said “Queen never cry”
Make a pond in the back corner to collect easy water and frogs.
I am so excited to try an off the grid rags to riches on my game, i just got a few new dlc's for the game (eco lifestyle, tiny living, cottage, etc.)
living in the grey rainy dark berlin makes the beginning feel like heaven haha I'd love to feel the sun on my skin
This series is so fun!! Maybe a farm-style wedding is in order?
I love this series soooo much! Kayla it’s fun to see you so enjoying the fun (chaos!) in this series. I’d love to see you continue it for a while!!
❤❤❤ this is my vibe Kayla, make this a long series please COTTAGECORE
I didn't know about this Cats&Dogs collection, it's really pretty!
YAY! I can't wait to watch this all over again and binge this series, let's hope it's long 😌💅
Love your modesty. It makes your success even more meaningful.

So excited to try playing off the grid when I get home from uni in 2 days - love from the UK! :D
if you enjoy cottage core kind of game play i recommend trying the sims in bloom challenge!
This type of game play is some of my favorite because it’s such a challenge and so rewarding. I love it 😊
you can right click to add items in groups of 10 while buying or selling from stands instead of having to click individually!!
Kayla, this is so much fun. I love it! I also love how much fun it seems like you are having.
im loving this series!!! I got super excited when I saw that you had posted a new ep
This is such a fun series! I'd love to see you add an extra challenge so you can stretch it out beyond a mini-series! We love a healthy dose of chaos. Lol
I’m new to this channel and I’m loving this off the grid series!
making the sims into stardew is really my all time goal. i looooove this series!
Finally! Thanks for the update.
simsie looked so stunning with the morning lighting!
I love this gameplay. Nothing hits like a proper farm.
Raise your hand if you’ve been watching lilsimsie for a while ✋

The light isn’t bad - it’s beautiful! You’re glowing 🤗
So much progress, it really feels like it's almost at the level you're aiming for - it's going to be overwhelming, what a fun challenge!
Loving this series so far. And loooooving Justin!
I was just watching episode one when i saw you just posted episode two ! So fun !
I really like this series! Its the most interesting to me
I don't know about MC settings on this save but I CAN'T WAIT for the 1% risky wooho baby in this playthrough like a few episodes down
Love this series! This is on my sims to-do list! I’m currently playing Not-So-Berry pink generation and not wanting to stop that to play other sims yet 😅💖
Why don’t you silence your phone if you wanna pretend she doesn’t have a phone?
I have been playing the Sims for years and didn't know you could do that! 😮
Idk about her game but on mine that function has been broken for years
this series is incredible, i love it
Get the Cottage Living bird tree so they can help to eat those bugs from the crops 😊 Love the series !
Edit: Also the pets keeps getting sprayed by skunks if there is a pee bush on the lot
Gotta be one of my favorite series already.
the lighting in the beginning is so pretty wow
The pee bushes are so obnoxious if you have pets. They’re constantly getting sprayed by skunks and bitten by squirrels.
Very much enjoying the series so far!!❤
this is such a good series I'm here for it
I love this series please keep it up ♡ you should turn it into a legacy challenge too!
I love this series so much already!! 🐰
loving this series
0:12 Wheres the angel this morning?
The angel of sims in question:
Obsessed with this. Utterly obsessed
Now you have the Bees you dont need the Soy wax, you can use Bees wax to make the candles, just getting the Bits is the hard part. and if you raise the Roof Turbines up onto a tall column it will look like a wind farm and not so big on your roof, that way you can just put them at the back of the lot
I'm so glad you are posting more than one series during the week.
If you use a regular trash can and put plates in it you can rummage for bits and pieces with every item you throw away. You get about 10-15 per time. Easier than a recycler!
You can combine ALL the feathers together to a sculpture. Also there is a ceiling light that works without electricity
I am sooo here for this series
Loving this series!
Yaaaaaaaaaay! My fav series of all!
I love this series so much lol it would be cool to incorporate an off the grid gen in a legacy challenge 😊
omg the horse has a tiny hat, so cute!
Bear is just like my dog that was also a stay dog omg now I want to adopt him in the sims too hahaha
Loving it so much ❤ you should do the fairs too with animals + food ones maybe down the line
The sprayed by skunk happens on lots with a pee bush
Watching this while I enjoy my birthday cake is such a vibe 🎉
wow any time im looking for video kayla delivers! i need to turn my notifications on atp
