Chaz definitely. I am rooting for this socially awkward farm nerd. I am rooting for them the day Hazel magically appeared at the town when Chaz first moved in. At least let them have some flirt options going on like with Trenton before deciding.
Plus you've never let Chaz go hang out with her only Trenton you say Chaz is too busy. I just think that's not even giving Chaz a fair shot 😕 and this was supposed to be Chaz's lp
“Well, we may have an alien baby on the way… Again.” The sheer resignation on James’ face as he said that was priceless. Must be the Bigwallet genes. There must be enough alien DNA in the family line by now that Chaz is practically a lit beacon to the abduction patrols. Poor dude.
@@emilynicole1234 You just need to find an alien and talk to them! Seriously, go to a community lot and introduce yourself to literally everyone that you see! In theory I think using the telescope should also increase your odds of abduction but I always forget it exists and never use it in my game... I've always had abductions happen because my Sims inadvertently befriended an alien. 😂 The same thing applies to vampires btw, if you talk to Vlad just once then he'll probably break into your house. There's something about the coding that "interacting=interest" so the game assumes if you do that then you like aliens or vampires, which unfortunately means getting to know Trenton or any other alien in the family boosts the chance of abduction. That's why it keeps happening! So yeah, if you HATE vampires, never ever EVER talk to them, always ignore them, and they won't attack you. If you leave your doors unlocked and walk right past them after dark, they won't bother you at all if you pretend they don't exist. Aliens are a little trickier to avoid. That said, you HAVE to have Get to Work to have Aliens; they came in that expansion.
@@emilynicole1234 Ive never had it happen either. Even if my sims know lots of aliens and are besties with them! James must be sprinkling alien catnip on his sims!
@James Turner Chaz: hey bro you wanna move in and help me with my farm. Trenton: Sure *time passes* Trenton: So after i get married to Hazel....where are you going to live? James Turner: So here we are in Chaz's second rag to riches story after he was kicked out by his brother in a cash-grab scheme when he married the woman of Chaz's dreams.
*Hazel calls Chaz* James: No I’m too busy *Hazel calls Trenton* James: DANNNNNGGGGG Also James: I’m not influencing this but it seems Hazel likes Trenton 😇
True! But to be fair, it also depends on when it happens, you know? lol I'm in agreement with everyone else; I really wish when a sim called there was an option to set/postpone the event for later, especially since they say "wanna go out tonight?" at like 10AM and you're like "I'm at work" or even "I'm almost done with the farm, can it wait?" So then you feel bad but you forget to try and catch up later if there's no reminder or a push notification and then you just don't see them unless you decide to do something else off your lot or they ask you about something else (like coming over.)
When you have an alien in your household the odds of getting abducted increase. Candle's presence got Brodie abducted, and Trenton got Chaz abducted.I say Trenton wanted Chaz out of the way so he could have Hazel!! Lol.
This episode is a parenting PSA: “You’ve lost your privileges!” (Autonomy OFF) “Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD!” (Level 6 cooking knife work) “I don’t understand why you’re behaving so ungratefully, I do everything for you!” (Llamaade and Cowtrina complaining about being unhappy) “Let’s hope nothing untoward happened!” (Chaz’s unexpected one night stand) 😂
"Why does this happen in every let's play?" It first happened to Bob, I think, because he was in the scientist career. It keeps happening to later generations because they keep interacting with aliens, because they always have close alien family members. So it's like a self-sustaining cycle :'D
Well… it all started a long long time ago with the founder of the Bigwallets, Lady. She married an alien named Wallay😂so aliens have been here since the very beginning of this family
Yeah if you have a normal non-science related family with no alien relationships it’s actually insanely difficult to get your sim abducted after they retuned it. I’m so envious of how easily James’ sims get abducted
I feel like we need to all chip together to send James a special thank you hamper (a big basket of goodies to clear up any confusion. I'm British 😂) for pumping out all these videos 😅🥰 I vote to include aubergines and a roomba 😂
Definitely a Flower Bunny plushy!(jk)Treats for Bowser! An orchid, balls of yarn, a t-shirt with various catch phrases-hey patchy! Fuuuwahhh! Ah, Batuu! KATRINA! Shut up Mario! Yeahhh! Let’s go! That’s a bit of fun. Don’t look at the yarn! Sleepin’! and so on🙂
Hey James, Once you buy the retail lot maybe you can turn half of it into a workshop/little factory. You can make cheese from all the milk you get, you can move the fizzing station there. Maybe even make pies, jams and conserves from all the produce and giant plants. And once you make them you can sell them at the other half of the store. You know like "straight from the factory" kind of shop.
A fully stocked, fresh from the farm, shop. Just like Clarkson's Farm in the UK (Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear ) who bought a farm and called it Diddly Squat.
So that's why Lady Bigwallet never ended up with the gardener, (his first Rags to Riches LP) the aliens have manipulated this LP series since the beginning.
FYI There’s a kitchen in the bar, you can make pies right there during fair times. 🥧 Oh and Trenton and Chaz can enter the competitions at the same time as long as each sim submits an entry. Boosts your chance of winning something. I made a robot and I have her locked up in my green house and she gardens for me. She’s only locked in there because it’s constantly raining and I don’t want to have to keep fixing her, so she just lives in the green house haha
Why is this comment not blowing up so James sees it so it helps him omggg (also am coming late and just watching it now so don’t know if he did later on)
The only reason why it seems like she likes Trenton more is because you always accept the invites when she invites Trenton. She's invited Chaz out so many times but it's always bad timing and you reject it. You sure you don't secretly ship Trenton and Hazel? haha
It's funny how when Trenton gets a call, James usually gets really excited and when he lets him go on date (can't remember if this is 2nd or 3rd date) actually does interactions to get their relationship up. When Chaz gets a call, James gets annoyed and usually says nope, reluctantly let him go on ONE date and then doesn't do anything to get relationship up on the date, says this is boring and jets after 5 minutes. But totally "isn't forcing" anything hahaha Suuuuure. Poor Chaz.
I’m sad Kim is an Elder because I felt sexual tension between her and Chaz since the beginning even though we hate her at times. When we have the retail store I imagine we’ll have some interesting new characters for Chaz.
Rickses is, in fact the correct plural. If you were showing possession, then it would either be Ricks' or Ricks's. The llama was Chaz Ricks' pet, and as such the responsibility of care fell on the Rickses.
@@NiamhCreates they're both technically acceptable, but Ricks's is more common an more preferred. Ricks' would also be the plural possessive form of Rick, so there's less clarity with it.
Watching him go through the exact same door locking issues he went through in the Seasons LP and knowing he learned nothing.... 😂🤦♀️ The door locks don't stack. You can't say Lock for Chickens and then add Lock for Dogs. The lock resets to just dogs.
I truly think it’s because the door locking mod he used before locking doors was a thing stacked. Shockingly enough the mod seemed like a better system 😀
@@Boots_293 The mod was far more intuitive and the way it stacked made sense-at least I remember it doing so when watching the OG Lady in her art gallery. That’s when a wonderful modder came up with a door locking system and included options for retail lots and bathrooms🙂🤷🏻♀️
Trenton: Chaz I'm not sure it I can make it work with Hazel Chaz: You're into Hazel? Trenton: She's just giving me such mixed messages y'know Chaz: I guess Trenton: Like I gave her a flower and she hated it but then she gave me a flower with this note that says I'm her 'everything' Chaz: That does sound mixed Trenton: I know. I just dont know what to do. Chaz: Well I know what you can do- Trenton: Oh no Chaz: Just give her the thickest- Trenton: Oh god- Chaz: juiciest- Trenton: Oh jeez Chaz: plumpest- Trenton: Here it comes Chaz: aubergine you can grow Trenton: I swear that's your answer for everything, cant you think of anything that doesnt have to do with aubergine! Chaz: Pfft sounds like something someone who hasnt won 1st place for their aubergine would say
It's funny seeing every each of let's play that James had been playing always get abducted by alien. In my time where I play the sims 4 I never get abducted unless I try to communicate them or look trough the microscope.
I don’t even think I’ve been abducted in the sims 4 ever… previous ones yes JR not sims 4. Maybe it’s because the telescope is so obnoxiously large I never place it
Chaz: My life is over 😭 Trenton: It's not that bad Chaz: I can't have a baby I don't have the time between all the animals and the harvesting and my crocheting Trenton: Yeah hows that going by the way Chaz: Be nice, I'm with child
You should use the feathers 🪶 as decorations for the house. Since you don’t like selling stuff you didn’t work for, that’s a good alternative considering the house walls are really empty. Plus, I think the plaque that’s automatically created looks like it would fit in a cottage.
Hey if I was a Pollination technician I would totally choose to pollinate a bigwallet, they’re always rich, plus its a very diverse clan to be born into 🤷🏽♀️
Hey James if you click on Cook Dinner/Lunch/Breakfast it'll show you food you can make with the ingredients you have. Saves on you having to scroll through the whole list when you click on Cook
When I'm playing in my Cottage Living save I always hear James say "clean the coop, collect the eggs!" in my head when I do that every (sim) morning xD
It’s Wyatt Skaggs checking in on the lineage! From the grave, he’s like, “we’ve got to keep this alien blood going! Sixam friends, abduct these guys for me, would you?” Tell him to chill. 😂
When you want higher quality stuff-like pies-choose an option from a lower skill level. Much like certain painting styles and flower arrangements increase quality as you level up, etc, but the most recently unlocked options are going to be lower quality until you skill higher/max the skill. Hope that makes sense!
I've been having a lot of the same bugs as you too James. I have major routing issues, my bathtub/shower combos can't be upgraded or repaired, my notifications come in my dogs name and my Sims get stuck at the top of the stairs. My toddlers are very glitchy when they walk, it's really weird. Oh I also the extremely annoying bug where my garden resets. Even if I make sure they're out there at 5 every morning to harvest they still do it.
To get a perfect cowplant, you need to do the following: 1.Get your birds and rabbits up to max friendship. 2. Receive the Golden Cowflower gift. This is listed as a debug item and is buggy, but can be made to germinate. 3. In a wide open space, place it on the ground. (Cowplants need a lot of space to germinate.) It will seem to vanish. 4. Outside of the cowplant germination radius, but still close by, plant a random flower or vegetable on the ground and tell your sim to plant it. 5. It will plant the random seed and also the invisible cowflower, providing you left enough space. 6. The cowflower will grow into a Perfect Cowplant.
Wow, I never knew that! I get those golden cowflower-thingy all the time from the birds and bunnies. I tried lay it on the ground to see what it was but it disappeared. Thank you for this insight! I will definitely try this!
Conspiracy theory: EA games pays James to play an extra buggy version of sims because the game is naturally buggy anyway, but if he can make it look like fun despite that, everyone else can overlook the bugs and still want to play
James your daily uploads have been getting me through the worst depression + lockdown in Melbourne. Thank you so much we all love and appreciate you so much!!! ❤❤
I'm still rooting for Hazel and Chaz. For absolutely no reason, other than the fact that James is ignoring Hazel's advances towards Chaz, and is clearly playing favourites.
You could move a couple of the chickens as objects into the garden and then have one of the Sims call chickens to the coop to see if the gate works with the hedge on top.
Fyi chickens from my other let’s plays actually visit me from other lots, but then they can’t go back home which is annoying, I hope gurus watch James lp and Dr Gluons lp to see every darn glitch and write them down.
James has no idea how many people will be disappointed now if he misses a day's upload. 🤣 We are practically waiting refreshing by the minute when it is time for his upload 😂 P.s. But we'll get over it and we get it if you need a break, we just enjoy the content so much
I swear this isn't a smarmy comment, just wanted to say that "Rickses" in that message is correct. It's Chaz Ricks's llama (possession). It's the Rickses' farm (plural possession). But James and the Rickses (group/plural) need to tell me sit down because no one cares.
Suggestion: Instead of trying to put a gravestone for every pet who dies, Put two big ones for the cows/llamas and three small ones for the Regular/evil/golden chickens.
@@Iluvpie6 Rural gal here: You can't just bury whole cows, like a pet cat. That's usually against bylaws for health reasons. You cremate them and bury the ashes, usually in the same "back 40" area of the property. (Assuming that you're not sending them off to be slaughtered)
I didn't know about the laws, but I have seen a hereford up close and personal. I am more than aware how big they are and I can't imagine trying to bury one. So I wasn't thinking a mass grave. I was more envisioning a shrine to them.
James? Did you step outside, hear strange music, see bright lights, and then get sucked up into an alien spacecraft?? Please come back, James! We promise to love any alien babies you might be carrying.
The house on the retail lot is so cute. Especially the little room with the windows off to the side. Ypu could put some tables in their where people "could eat pie" that you made from your produce. Like a little cafe area!
LMAO at Chaz being abducted!! It would be extremely weird if he's pregnant with his brother's mother's baby!! That has happened to me only once in my time playing Sims and you seem to have it happen all the time 🤣🤣
When you want to move items from household inventory, like the cowberries, you can press shift and it'll work like buying more items in BB, it makes placing them on the lot a little bit faster.
James, the household inventory’s plants are worth more than in live mode. The cowberrys were worth 900 simoleons in the household inventory but when you went to live mode only 400. This is also like roses in the household inventory. They are worth 144 when in live mode only 49.
Although I LOVE the Gnome's Arms, I remodeled it in my game to add a bedroom upstairs for the times I need to spend the day at the fair and I'm exhausted. I imagine it's like a small B&B because it's such a small town. And it works! May be a good project for Hazel so that Trenton and Chaz have a place to crash when they need to!
Yeah, there's a weird glitch that prevents some of the bins to be picked up when someone knocks them over. It happened to me with the Island Living outdoor bin, so that's probably affecting the Batuu one. I don't know why, but my guess is that they don't have a lid so that could make them "behave" differently. I had to just remove the lidless bin and get the regular one, with a lid.
YES, Hazel and Trenton. :) The door locks make me bonkers in this game. They need to develop it so it comes up as a list and you can see exactly for whom and what you've locked each door. That or at least put green checkmarks next to the items that are enabled like they do for upgrades, I feel like your chickens got loose because after you locked the doors for chickens, you then locked the doors for dogs, and I think that selection overrode the lock for chickens.
I havent played the sims in 4 years (parenting took over) but I saw this new expansion pack released and came here to watch some game play where I stumbled upon this series. I have binged watched it all in a week and now want to buy all the expansions that I've missed out on 😂 thankyou for distracting me from packing me 2 bed house on my own that I move out of in a week. Fully worth it.
Am I the only one who really doesn't want him to buy a retail store?? Don't get me wrong, I adore this let's play and all of James's videos, but this is meant to be the cottage living lp, and we've seen retail store gameplay a million times.
Have faith in him y’all I have a feeling it’s not gonna be a fancy store I feel like it’s gonna fit the vibe of the town and LP since he’s also by the other “shops” and stalls it’s gonna fit right in
I'm fairly certain when you sell things from the household inventory (like cowberrys) it sells for the price of a perfect quality one. I don't remember if your cowberrys are perfect but that might be why? I think its also why when you buy like a dragonfruit from the stall it's the price of the perfect one. 😂
I've been having the same issue with the outdoor bins, once they get knocked over there is no way to pick them up, must be a bug, the only bin I've been using outside is the dumpster or the one you make money from, or else you have to sell it and rebuy it every time
After you plant your crops, If you click on your Golden hens, there is an option "help with gardening". They zap the crops and make them perfect, saves on fertilizer. Each hen can do at least 5 crops.
Maybe, to help you remember to buy the seeds during the festival, maybe you should make a holiday that falls on that day/s and call it like 'seed buying day' maybe that could help?
I love so much that he takes the series nice and slow. It's so easy to get rich quick in the sims but he's always coming up with well paced high effort ways for his sims to make money and always finding goals to reach so there's always a purpose and a place to invest the money rather than having it all pile up rendering the playthrough meaningless. This store idea was an awesome addition and gives the characters yet another money pit to invest in!
For Rabbits (And birds) the easiest way I've found to befriend them is to just do everything in the gifting menu and none of the other socials which are really unreliable. So discover gift preferences, give gift, and receive gift. There's no relationship loss even if you pick something they don't like and all of them increase the relationship bar a decent chunk. It takes 2 at most 3 days (depending if you pick gifts they don't like) and they will have enough relationship to help you until they sadly pass away.
A fun idea to use the stand. Put one of every item on the stand, and once that item sells, you can sell the rest of the stack from your inventory. So it isn't so tedious to put out all 89 of a s single fruit. Just a thought!!
In regards to your newest alien abduction. I feel for you. I created this sim and I absolutely loved playing him. I had a story line all set out for him in my mind. His wedding day was two sim day away when he got abducted and inseminated. Ruining the entire story in my head. Needless to say, I made his alien Daughter grow up to be a scientist just so I could clone her dad. Only to have the clone be abducted from Henford-on-Bradley and inseminated!. The AUDASITY! Now I have the Original Daughter raising the clone's son so that I can FINALLY live the dream.
You should add an outhouse of the crop side of the farm. It’ll cut down on how far they have to walk when you have to stop their tasks of tending to chickens and/or crops
James, for me the gates seemed to be locked for chickens by default. So you would need to unlock the gates for them to roam around. Maybe you already did tho, I'm still watching.

Hey James,
Once you buy the retail lot maybe you can turn half of it into a workshop/little factory. You can make cheese from all the milk you get, you can move the fizzing station there. Maybe even make pies, jams and conserves from all the produce and giant plants.
And once you make them you can sell them at the other half of the store. You know like "straight from the factory" kind of shop.
ooh!!! i like this idea!
A fully stocked, fresh from the farm, shop. Just like Clarkson's Farm in the UK (Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear ) who bought a farm and called it Diddly Squat.
I have to do this in my game now!
Farm to Table!
maybe a random cupcake machine just for funsies :p
The aliens, maybe: We must continue our bloodline within the Bigwallet family, for it has been ordained by our great progenitor Wyatt Wallét-Skaggs.
I thought there was someone in the very beginning that was a alien so thanks for the confirmation
Not gonna lie I read his name the way James always said it. I mean...is there even any other way?

Well that’s an awful system 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@Boots_293 The mod was far more intuitive and the way it stacked made sense-at least I remember it doing so when watching the OG Lady in her art gallery. That’s when a wonderful modder came up with a door locking system and included options for retail lots and bathrooms🙂🤷🏻♀️
Trenton: Chaz I'm not sure it I can make it work with Hazel
Chaz: You're into Hazel?
Trenton: She's just giving me such mixed messages y'know
Chaz: I guess
Trenton: Like I gave her a flower and she hated it but then she gave me a flower with this note that says I'm her 'everything'
Chaz: That does sound mixed
Trenton: I know. I just dont know what to do.
Chaz: Well I know what you can do-
Trenton: Oh no
Chaz: Just give her the thickest-
Trenton: Oh god-
Chaz: juiciest-
Trenton: Oh jeez
Chaz: plumpest-
Trenton: Here it comes
Chaz: aubergine you can grow
Trenton: I swear that's your answer for everything, cant you think of anything that doesnt have to do with aubergine!
Chaz: Pfft sounds like something someone who hasnt won 1st place for their aubergine would say
Im your 69th upvote. Nice.
Omg I'm dead 😂😂😂
You increase alien abductions by talking to aliens, and you have aliens in your family so..that's probably why your sims keep getting abducted.
This makes so much sense 😲
The aliens really have a kink for James's sims, Dont know if its the Red hair or the Devlishly handsome Beards!😂❤🌌
the aliens officially have a type xD
Maybe the accent?
Or the drama with hazel?
probably the beard 😂
It's funny seeing every each of let's play that James had been playing always get abducted by alien. In my time where I play the sims 4 I never get abducted unless I try to communicate them or look trough the microscope.
I think you mean a telescope
I don’t even think I’ve been abducted in the sims 4 ever… previous ones yes JR not sims 4. Maybe it’s because the telescope is so obnoxiously large I never place it
@@Kaimli stranger things have happened 🤔 hahaha
If you’re playing with aliens or scientists, you get alien abductions. Otherwise, it seems to have been disabled.
@@AussieCassPlays That's what I heard too - I'm kinda disappointed.
Chaz: My life is over 😭
Trenton: It's not that bad
Chaz: I can't have a baby I don't have the time between all the animals and the harvesting and my crocheting
Trenton: Yeah hows that going by the way
Chaz: Be nice, I'm with child
I really wanted to like this, but it's at 69, and I can't bring myself to make it 70. D:
Yes

@@kireiluka he hasnt done it in so long he forgot what it was called
Omg I chocked on my tea 😂😂😂
Llamanade is like ‘hey Fae Fae, can you let Chaz know I said I’m not happy and I wanna leave, thanks’ 😂
I feel like Hazel is so mischievous that she could date both and they wouldn't notice :'D
😳😳😳 Drammaaaaaaaaa!
Such a good thief that she can steal both their hearts 😂
Thats evil as hell... Thou you got the point here 🙊🙈🙉
Learned this from the Addams Family
The plural of Addams is Addamses. I think that also applies to Ricks being Rickses
The best way I can think to explain this is ‘keeping up with the Jonses’
Yep. Ricks's would be possessive. Like, this is the Ricks's farm. Except I think it would actually be Ricks', but I'm not sure.
Reminder that this comes from the guy who named the rooster Hennible instead of Hennibel. Grammar and spelling has never been his strong suit.
You should use the feathers 🪶 as decorations for the house. Since you don’t like selling stuff you didn’t work for, that’s a good alternative considering the house walls are really empty.
Plus, I think the plaque that’s automatically created looks like it would fit in a cottage.
I love using the feathers for decor! Styling on a budget! 😉
Hey if I was a Pollination technician I would totally choose to pollinate a bigwallet, they’re always rich, plus its a very diverse clan to be born into 🤷🏽♀️
Hey James if you click on Cook Dinner/Lunch/Breakfast it'll show you food you can make with the ingredients you have. Saves on you having to scroll through the whole list when you click on Cook
Chaz strikes me as a confirmed bachelor. He lives only for the farm. Trenton is the one looking for love.
Anybody else would have put money on James forgetting to buy seeds after waiting all week to go to the fair to buy them? :rofl:
When I'm playing in my Cottage Living save I always hear James say "clean the coop, collect the eggs!" in my head when I do that every (sim) morning xD
It’s Wyatt Skaggs checking in on the lineage! From the grave, he’s like, “we’ve got to keep this alien blood going! Sixam friends, abduct these guys for me, would you?” Tell him to chill. 😂
Could you shrink a hedge archway? For the chicken hole in the hedge, instead of a fence and gate
When you want higher quality stuff-like pies-choose an option from a lower skill level. Much like certain painting styles and flower arrangements increase quality as you level up, etc, but the most recently unlocked options are going to be lower quality until you skill higher/max the skill. Hope that makes sense!
*Trenton comes back from a date with Hazel*
Chaz: Let's befriend some bunnies!!
The boot room feels more like summer kitchen which is popular in old houses in Poland 😆
I've been having a lot of the same bugs as you too James. I have major routing issues, my bathtub/shower combos can't be upgraded or repaired, my notifications come in my dogs name and my Sims get stuck at the top of the stairs. My toddlers are very glitchy when they walk, it's really weird. Oh I also the extremely annoying bug where my garden resets. Even if I make sure they're out there at 5 every morning to harvest they still do it.
That sounds so frustrating!!
You can test the chickens using the door by dragging them out and the try calling them into the coop
The juice you fizzed will go off sitting in inventory. It lasts forever in the selling table.
To get a perfect cowplant, you need to do the following:
1.Get your birds and rabbits up to max friendship.
2. Receive the Golden Cowflower gift. This is listed as a debug item and is buggy, but can be made to germinate.
3. In a wide open space, place it on the ground. (Cowplants need a lot of space to germinate.) It will seem to vanish.
4. Outside of the cowplant germination radius, but still close by, plant a random flower or vegetable on the ground and tell your sim to plant it.
5. It will plant the random seed and also the invisible cowflower, providing you left enough space.
6. The cowflower will grow into a Perfect Cowplant.
Wow, I never knew that! I get those golden cowflower-thingy all the time from the birds and bunnies. I tried lay it on the ground to see what it was but it disappeared. Thank you for this insight! I will definitely try this!
By outside of the radius could it be across the lot, or does it need to be nearby but not in the way?
Conspiracy theory: EA games pays James to play an extra buggy version of sims because the game is naturally buggy anyway, but if he can make it look like fun despite that, everyone else can overlook the bugs and still want to play
James your daily uploads have been getting me through the worst depression + lockdown in Melbourne. Thank you so much we all love and appreciate you so much!!! ❤❤
I hope you are taking care of yourself
think of nsw lockdown where james and deli are
@@lynfletcher7744 its been rough for both states :(( hope they are both okay
Omg yes, Even I have been going thru kind of a rough patch, his videos literally cheer my day up! Hope you are fine! ❤🌻
((Hugs))❤️
I'm still rooting for Hazel and Chaz. For absolutely no reason, other than the fact that James is ignoring Hazel's advances towards Chaz, and is clearly playing favourites.
Got so used to James posting daily now that he hasn’t posted in 3 days I’m losing my mind
You could move a couple of the chickens as objects into the garden and then have one of the Sims call chickens to the coop to see if the gate works with the hedge on top.
Fyi chickens from my other let’s plays actually visit me from other lots, but then they can’t go back home which is annoying, I hope gurus watch James lp and Dr Gluons lp to see every darn glitch and write them down.
The amount of views you get in less than an hour is amazing to me. Just tells me a lot of us are invested in this LP haha!
James has no idea how many people will be disappointed now if he misses a day's upload. 🤣 We are practically waiting refreshing by the minute when it is time for his upload 😂
P.s. But we'll get over it and we get it if you need a break, we just enjoy the content so much
Same lol
Last time he uploaded an hour later than usual I was so disappointed, I thought we won't get an upload that day 😂
@@halaalam I was thinking the same thing that day lol!
So true wkwkk
Sooo true!
Just want to say I can't wait for what you do with this lot, the final build will be EPIC
Get Chaz’s mom Bonehilda! Then you can get rid of the vacuums and she’ll do the cooking, cleaning and help with gardening
I swear this isn't a smarmy comment, just wanted to say that "Rickses" in that message is correct. It's Chaz Ricks's llama (possession). It's the Rickses' farm (plural possession). But James and the Rickses (group/plural) need to tell me sit down because no one cares.
I care! That bothered me a lot, haha. I made a comment about it too.
Haha 😄 I snorted at the final line of your comment
29:50 James when Deli first invited him to her house ahah ❤️
Suggestion: Instead of trying to put a gravestone for every pet who dies, Put two big ones for the cows/llamas and three small ones for the Regular/evil/golden chickens.
I don’t know how I feel about mass graves for the farm animals
@@Iluvpie6 Rural gal here: You can't just bury whole cows, like a pet cat. That's usually against bylaws for health reasons. You cremate them and bury the ashes, usually in the same "back 40" area of the property. (Assuming that you're not sending them off to be slaughtered)
I didn't know about the laws, but I have seen a hereford up close and personal. I am more than aware how big they are and I can't imagine trying to bury one. So I wasn't thinking a mass grave. I was more envisioning a shrine to them.
I see, that makes much more sense. (And it’s far less disturbing)
To the dog: "Yeah, you want some lovin', buuuttt we don't...really have that right now"
LOL
James? Did you step outside, hear strange music, see bright lights, and then get sucked up into an alien spacecraft?? Please come back, James! We promise to love any alien babies you might be carrying.
The house on the retail lot is so cute. Especially the little room with the windows off to the side. Ypu could put some tables in their where people "could eat pie" that you made from your produce. Like a little cafe area!
AHHHHHH 😱!!! The house hold inventory!!! You said you’d protect us from it James!!
LMAO at Chaz being abducted!! It would be extremely weird if he's pregnant with his brother's mother's baby!!
That has happened to me only once in my time playing Sims and you seem to have it happen all the time 🤣🤣
When you want to move items from household inventory, like the cowberries, you can press shift and it'll work like buying more items in BB, it makes placing them on the lot a little bit faster.
James, the household inventory’s plants are worth more than in live mode. The cowberrys were worth 900 simoleons in the household inventory but when you went to live mode only 400. This is also like roses in the household inventory. They are worth 144 when in live mode only 49.
but, why???
I’m not sure I just noticed in playing
Although I LOVE the Gnome's Arms, I remodeled it in my game to add a bedroom upstairs for the times I need to spend the day at the fair and I'm exhausted. I imagine it's like a small B&B because it's such a small town. And it works! May be a good project for Hazel so that Trenton and Chaz have a place to crash when they need to!
Yeah, there's a weird glitch that prevents some of the bins to be picked up when someone knocks them over. It happened to me with the Island Living outdoor bin, so that's probably affecting the Batuu one. I don't know why, but my guess is that they don't have a lid so that could make them "behave" differently. I had to just remove the lidless bin and get the regular one, with a lid.
YES, Hazel and Trenton. :) The door locks make me bonkers in this game. They need to develop it so it comes up as a list and you can see exactly for whom and what you've locked each door. That or at least put green checkmarks next to the items that are enabled like they do for upgrades, I feel like your chickens got loose because after you locked the doors for chickens, you then locked the doors for dogs, and I think that selection overrode the lock for chickens.
I laugh cried at James' reaction over the alien abduction.
I havent played the sims in 4 years (parenting took over) but I saw this new expansion pack released and came here to watch some game play where I stumbled upon this series. I have binged watched it all in a week and now want to buy all the expansions that I've missed out on 😂 thankyou for distracting me from packing me 2 bed house on my own that I move out of in a week. Fully worth it.
"The Rickses" is actually correct, FYI. Thank you for blessing my Saturday! 😊
Am I the only one who really doesn't want him to buy a retail store?? Don't get me wrong, I adore this let's play and all of James's videos, but this is meant to be the cottage living lp, and we've seen retail store gameplay a million times.
Yeah, I find retail and selling table gameplay boring. Though I'd enjoy seeing whatever he builds with a retail store!
Have faith in him y’all I have a feeling it’s not gonna be a fancy store I feel like it’s gonna fit the vibe of the town and LP since he’s also by the other “shops” and stalls it’s gonna fit right in
I've NEVER had my sims taken by Aliens and then there's James and the poor Bigwallets always getting taken 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the daily uploads james! Be sure to take care of your health alongside all that hard work 🤍
Not sure if you'd want to do this, but once you get to handiness level 10, you can instant upgrade the sheds.
That's from completing Nerd Brain aspiration, not from handiness level 10.
The sexy sax music gets me every time!!😂😂😂
Congrats to Trenton! I've been rooting for him the whole time, he was brought in to be an unpaid worker and now he can have it all!
The plural of a last name ending in an S is -es. Rickses is correct. Ricks' or Ricks's would be possessive and singular.
For the oversized crops, there's always the option for garlic, there could be that in the sixth lot!
I'm fairly certain when you sell things from the household inventory (like cowberrys) it sells for the price of a perfect quality one. I don't remember if your cowberrys are perfect but that might be why? I think its also why when you buy like a dragonfruit from the stall it's the price of the perfect one. 😂
I've been having the same issue with the outdoor bins, once they get knocked over there is no way to pick them up, must be a bug, the only bin I've been using outside is the dumpster or the one you make money from, or else you have to sell it and rebuy it every time
After you plant your crops, If you click on your Golden hens, there is an option "help with gardening". They zap the crops and make them perfect, saves on fertilizer. Each hen can do at least 5 crops.
Rickses is the correct plural, just as Joneses is the correct plural for Jones. Jones' indicates possession, not plural.
Maybe, to help you remember to buy the seeds during the festival, maybe you should make a holiday that falls on that day/s and call it like 'seed buying day' maybe that could help?
They both are cooking a lot and getting Hella inspired, worth changing the aspirations to cooking maybe to get more points?
I love so much that he takes the series nice and slow. It's so easy to get rich quick in the sims but he's always coming up with well paced high effort ways for his sims to make money and always finding goals to reach so there's always a purpose and a place to invest the money rather than having it all pile up rendering the playthrough meaningless. This store idea was an awesome addition and gives the characters yet another money pit to invest in!
It makes sense that there’s an alien abduction on a farm. With all those cows 🐄
For Rabbits (And birds) the easiest way I've found to befriend them is to just do everything in the gifting menu and none of the other socials which are really unreliable. So discover gift preferences, give gift, and receive gift. There's no relationship loss even if you pick something they don't like and all of them increase the relationship bar a decent chunk. It takes 2 at most 3 days (depending if you pick gifts they don't like) and they will have enough relationship to help you until they sadly pass away.
Best time of the day: new video!! Love this series❤️! Thank you James!
I love your sweatshirt! I want one haha. I thought it was James Turner merch and got excited lol
A fun idea to use the stand. Put one of every item on the stand, and once that item sells, you can sell the rest of the stack from your inventory. So it isn't so tedious to put out all 89 of a s single fruit. Just a thought!!
Thanks for a very humorous episode and informative one. I love this series especially all the tips and tricks I'm learning. Have an awesome day James.
Is it really a James Turner LP with out an alien abduction???
I don't laugh as much or as hard with anyone else's LP. I love your sense of humor lol
In regards to your newest alien abduction. I feel for you. I created this sim and I absolutely loved playing him. I had a story line all set out for him in my mind. His wedding day was two sim day away when he got abducted and inseminated. Ruining the entire story in my head. Needless to say, I made his alien Daughter grow up to be a scientist just so I could clone her dad. Only to have the clone be abducted from Henford-on-Bradley and inseminated!. The AUDASITY! Now I have the Original Daughter raising the clone's son so that I can FINALLY live the dream.
You should add an outhouse of the crop side of the farm. It’ll cut down on how far they have to walk when you have to stop their tasks of tending to chickens and/or crops
James, for me the gates seemed to be locked for chickens by default. So you would need to unlock the gates for them to roam around.
Maybe you already did tho, I'm still watching.
You are the only sims youtuber i feel that produce videos in a good rate. I love it thank uou! Some just don’t upload fast enough!
