I can imagine the influencers being asked for a house tour, panning the camera around saying "and that's it! Side note, I'm also trapped in a pyramid scheme with 99 other people, but for my safety, forget I said that"
I remember when I was a kid I got a promotional Pepsi machine mod from the Sims website and I had a Sim who basically lived off of Pepsi. What I'm getting at here is next time you're doing a hyper limited run where you're cutting out kitchens, see if anyone has modded in vending machines, because it'd be deeply funny to see one of the tormented characters in your challenge runs subsisting off of nothing but soda and corn chips.
My favorite thing about The Sims 4 is that every sim on one lot shares a single brain cell. So the more sims you have in your family or on your lot, well... You saw what happened in the video.
Struggling to imagine what is going through the Grim Reaper's head as he magically appears inside the same windowless cubicle, only with a completely different dead guy, for the seventy-third time in a row...
So many of them kept dying from lack of counter space lol, you should've added a trashcan to their rooms along with a nicer bed (the cot gives an uncomfortable moodlet due to it being so cheap and also you know.... a camping cot) next time add the trashcan that just vaporizes anything put in it (it should be the 4000 simoleon one that looks dumb) and a bed that doesn't have the uncomfortable trait 👍
Honestly, I can't believe the game functions without it. This is what happens when devs prioritize appearance over functionality. God forbid a sim begins an interaction before the animation loads
@@ambiguousamphibian if you have testing cheats on, you should be able to shift click the ground where you want your sim to teleport, and the option will pop up!
Another way it can be done is via giving them wellness level 7, which lets them teleport. But then they might choose to teleport on their own... With testing cheats, you can also add random folks to household without that mod you used
Apparently, this is an actual thing in China. They just buy a warehouse and have dozens of influencer cubicles set up where they tey to sell their fans products.
I mean hell, didn't the whole concept of vtubers start as a way for companies to artificially produce groups of influencers while having the ability to replace the actual people behind it if necessary :')
I used to watch a streamer, that one day just gave a tour of his house. What looked like a dude just in a bedroom was 8 dudes living with their wives in a mansion with some giant network, where everyone in the house had a job dedicated to streaming, growing the stream, or taking care of the house.
One troubling part of this is that every single one of these streamers would have the exact same view from their webcam, assuming they used one. The same furniture and lighting. If you didn't know their living situations, that could be a bit creepy after a while
This made me fondly remember GrayStillPlays sims videos and realize how beastly of a machine he used to make them. Hope you make more of these Amph. Your humour is always delightful and something I look forward to.
I immediately knew that AA was going to run into issues with his sims losing their ability to function because of the Graystillplays videos. I really expected Gray to be mentioned higher up in the comments.
He did part of this in twitch with chat helping and no one told this man you can teleport Sims and he didn't have to keep making and patching holes in the wall Poor vaguefrog 😞
Suggestion for next time, use the clubs feature from get together. You'll need a mod (maybe MCCC can do it) that will allow everyone to be in the same club, but you can set activities for them to autonomously do that they wouldn't otherwise. Plus, don't need an oven, just a mini fridge for quick meals and a 1,200$ trash can that deletes the trash and gives you money every time they use it.
I'd guess the game considers all furniture to each sim, no matter its reachability. This makes sense for normal homes, as everything is reachable, and even if just half is, it's fine. When you spawned 100 separate, closed-off rooms, there was a 1% chance for a decision making to be fruitful, so most didn't decide anymore on their own.
@@ambiguousamphibian I'd love that! His songs and Kirk Casey's are fantastic on this soundtrack. I don't have classical jazz training, but the pace and style fits the game so well.
@@RapFab lol i feel you bro, I rarely ever feel shame but if my friends found out they would think I’m a pervy creep 😂. Right now I’m just a hyper sexual pervert to them 😂
Yeah, Gray's gotten a bit formulaic (chasing the *algorithm*, I suppose), but I'll always have a soft spot for stuff like his playthroughs of My Summer Car or Astroneer
Hello ma'am this is Sanj-... I mean Mike Smith. I'm calling from Microsoft, would you like to continue your subscription or would you rather we refund you the $400 we "owe" you? I just need you to open your online banking while our official Windows-certified technician connects you to our server. Btw - purely out of interest - do you happen to live near a Best Buy or somewhere you might be able to purchase $1000 gift cards?? 😉
on one hand, the AI probably melted down trying to handle that many sims at one time. on the other hand, i choose to believe they all died because they didn't have a trash bin to dump their bad food, which hogged up all the counter space and made them starve to death
this literally just happened in china but outdoors on bridges for a recent event. I wish I had the name. thousands of people outside streaming with lights on at the same time. it was unreal to see footage of.
"But it just goes to show that in the brutal world of entertainment, not a lot of people have what it takes to withstand the pain of being set on fire." That's true poetry right there.
I love how someone made a comment in the last video about a piece of music the Yogscast use AA used, and now almost every piece of music in this video the Yogs use all the time 😂
Could be interesting to do something similar but with 10ish sims at a time. As they die you replace them, but only up to 50 or something? Love your videos!
Everything sucks, I am sick and extremely tired and I haven't been able to eat anything in two days. Listening to you somehow makes me not want to cry, thank you
9:30 This reminds me of that gameshow 1 vs 100, which was like a battle royale where you got knocked out if you failed trivia questions. You should do that except with other goals, like "not dying".
I really love that EA and Curseforge are sponsoring RUclipsrs to play The Sims 4 with mods because they KNOW the game is unplayable without them. One of the mods AA showed is 'Simulation Lag Fix' 😂
If you don’t want your sims to constantly set themselves on fire while trying to cook, get rid of the stove and give them a microwave. The food prep is way faster too so they’ll spend less time cooking and more time making you money
AA doesn't want to admit that this is how he actually lives. Trapped in a dystopian prison system, forced to make content in a vain effort to not have to set himself on fire whilst cooking vegetables. Living the dream
If you ever decid to upgrade your proccessor you should get one of those AMD3D Cache chips since they really complement sim games. But it would take away that sprinkle of chaos that comes from the absolute suffering of the computer and the simlings
Your CPU wasn't even being used that much. I'm pretty sure the game having issues is just the game engine being unable to process that many sims. That's why it allows only 8 in the unmodded game. It's not the issue of your PC, but issue of the game
Has amphibian ever played Medieval Dynasty? That's definitely something I could see him enjoying and I enjoying listening to while occasionally glancing up as I do other things
I dont know how you got so much information about how I live my daily life in my box at my computer or why you put it in a sims challenge but im contacting my lawyers as soon as I can get myself away from my loop of watching streams, T posing in my kitchen, and staring into the endless void.
Gotta take out the stoves so they only make salad, fixes the fire issue, or have one sim who only cooks and puts food in the fridge since all fridges share an inventory.
It’s very haunting to watch all the cell-like rooms burn away, spreading their condition far and wide like a contagion, until only clusters of isolated rooms remain.
Ctrl+shift+esc brings up just task manager and skips the whole windows security screen on modern windows, if you (or anyone else) needs a quicker way to access task manager.
Funny thing is that it's... Reality in some country. I'm not gonna name it but after seeing dozens of videos I can say that maybe separate cubical are not always there but hundred's of people in one hall or building doing videos or "influencing" is damn real there 😅
so when we getting the torso mech short version? Don't get me wrong I watched the full thing but their is such beauty in your shorter videos that just inspire. Keep up the good work!

It's free of cost but it's not free software. And it's not available on all popular operating systems.
What GPU do you use @ambiguousamphibian?
Does turning Sim Autonomy Off make any difference at all?
your specs are fine.
Imagine you’re watching a streamer and they leave to take a bathroom break but you watch them walk three steps away to their background toilet
And then stop for a snack on their way back, light themselves on fire in a tragic grilled cheese accident, and burn to death on stream.
There's some lolcows like that
I heard of streamers peeing bottles while they stream, don't know any of them so can't confirm.......
Gamer girl moment

@@johnalogue9832 and if you flip it upside down it's a funnel
idk why the sims didn't just follow and subscribe to eachothers channels so that way they'd all have at least 100 subscribers and followers xD
interesting horror movie idea
feels like something jerma would say
I like how he can make a whole video about how he can't do a challenge and still have it work.
In this episode: Amphibian has brilliantly combined the concepts of the "Content Farm" and "Sweatshop".
This is what the movie Old Boy was talking about. Un mito de la caverna moderno.
Apparently China has a huge problem of that
Content factory farm
Yeah unfortunately they really exist

Indeed, all 18 of them.

I feel like ambiguous is trying to tell us.
Mr. Amphibian blink twice if you're being kept captive in a streamer farm.
All sims have to share one braincell in Sims 4. And they usually have to share it with my computer. I couldn't imagine 100 of them in one place.
my favorite is when they stand around with an "eat" order in their queue, doing nothing until they starve to death
