Does anyone else imagine Candle as like the protagonist of a 90s teen movie? "You're probably wondering how I got here. It all started when my alien dad hooked up with a lady vampire..."
hey James. the reason you haven't really seen any of the haunting stuff yet is because it happens at around 9pm and you keep leaving the house at that time. Guidry was also supposed to show up at your place on the second night but you were out drinking blood so the pop up never happened. Also you keep performing a ceremony on the séance table which is a method to decrease the haunted occurrences so you should stop doing it and only perform the other tasks. the other tasks on the table can either just tell you what the haunted level is like or possibly increase it. its just you continued to perform the one task that decreases it. the point of decreasing it is if your sim gets too scared to complete tasks. hope this helps. enjoying the series!
James, how about planting a plasma tree? Get a seed from Forgotten Hollow then you'd have your own supply of free plasma once they've grown on the tree(s).
I quit playing as a vampire because I have this problem and I couldn't figure out where the heck to get the seeds for the plasma tree thank you so much 💚
@@maddym9370 I know, I like that he’s doing that, but it does seem many let’s players have had trouble with Snowy Escape not really keeping their interest
I love how James loves to get involved with his sims stuff. One of my favourite things was when the earthquake happened in the last playthroughs, James would shake with it. Now he join into the seance. The man loves his sims
The first night you have the lot type, a notification with info should appear. But since you were at the graveyard the entire first night, maybe something went wrong? Guidry I think appears the second or third night I think
I'm having a serious Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon moment due to your comment right now. Read and worked on a text about that book and its sequel today while tutoring, never heard of it before and have just downloaded it a couple of hours ago due to the text sparking an interest to read it. And now here we are
Don't clean up the puddles or break the cursed objects if you want more paranormal activity to start happening! Keep them until you're happy with how cursed it's getting, 'cuz cleaning all that up makes it less spooky. And don't do seances for a while either. Also, you may need to stay on your lot without traveling for at least 2 nights to get Guidry to spawn? In the Maxis livestream he showed up on the second night.
Seances *de*crease your paranormal activity, so don't do anything with it and it'll get worse. You basically have to ignore features of the pack to get paranormal stuff going in your house.
It's especially exactly what James always selects that "calms" the spirits. "Perform Ceremony: If the home’s spiritual volatility is high, Sims can use this interaction to calm the specters and improve the spiritual balance of the home." I have no idea why that is. I would think doing seances would have something like it goes wrong and that maddens the house and increases paranormal activity or something like that.
@@black_twitchie Carl's Sims Guides said if you stop halfway through a seance or you're interrupted that can make things worse but I haven't seen that happen.
I just started watching you a few months ago and have binged watch your videos...I love your bigwallett family and your sim style of playing. It’s exciting to not be years late for once lol thank you for your content!
James! Broodie's vampiric energy decreases so fast because he is always moving as a bat! Just raise his skill quickly like Isaiah's or he's going to die in the sun xDD
You keep leaving the home lot at night and therefore keep missing the haunted house lot pop ups. Guidry automatically shows up on the second night, you don't need the $1200 portrait so sell it. To get the house more haunted, don't perform ceremonies or get rid of the paranormal stuff that pops up. And selling your soul shortens your lifespan, consuming soul scraps give it back.
Currently watching the city living LP and this one. Omg the LP and James’ voice and diction are so different in both. Its great. Thank past James and present James.
@@aasajoh Offering a piece of the Sims soul just fills the age bar up a little each time. I suspect it can't force a Sim to go to the next life stage when the bar is full but if aging is on for that Sim, it could happen. If vampires basically have aging turned off for them, it probably just adds days to the age bar, and then when it's filled to the maximum, James will have to do something to empty the bar before he can offer his soul again. :)
If you want the house to get really haunted, don't perform any ceremonies and don't remove any accursed objects. Just keep communing with the dead for now to raise their medium skill. More options with the seance table will show up as they master the skill. Guidry should have arrived on the second night, so I don't know what happened there. Hopefully, you'll see him next time.
I've had the luxury of watching all of his previous series whenever because they were old but now I truly feel the excitement and anticipation for each upload
you may or may not see this because this is an older video, but you have singlehandedly re-established my love for sims 4. of course, i play it heavily modded because i like story prog and other gameplay additions, but still. you make the sims 4 fun yet "real". i've been watching this playlist for the last few weeks as a sort of "finish it" challenge, and it has been great playing sims 4 alongside you. it also makes me excited to play sims 3 and 2 since i have access to them, too.
James I think the lot is still just set to House lot type (see at 2:36) - you have to make it a Haunted House to get the paranormal activity! Like so he sees!
JAMES PLEASE have you seen the RUclipsr The Sim Stream? Her builds are INCREDIBLE. i would love to see you and Deli react to something from her! I didnt make any mistakes that edit is a lie :D
-What are your plans for Thursday night? -We're gonna come home from work, go to the cemetery, get a dead cat, We're gonna do a group seance... It's gonna be great!
"Should be a little more sinister". In my game, I'm playing the Goth's, and after moving out Cassandra when she became an adult, every time she came over to visit, the fires host lit her on fire. I was able to save her over five times before her final visit. They were determined to burn her to death.
James you are very good and easy to watch...i wish i could afford to buy sims4 but i have almost all sims 3. but i will just watch and enjoy you playing. well done
I love that this is supposed to be the snowy escape pack LP, and that is the least used pack in the LP. Vampires, aliens (dine out), ghost hunters (paranormal), poison antidote (jungle adventure), odd jobs in Sulani (Island living). The only thing that is snowy escape is the location.
I love how The Sims 4 (I think) pick the idea of The Sims Freeplay on this Paranormal thing. The Sims Freeplay added the effect when lights turn and off in a Haunted House/Item, but the "paranormal" in it is just like a ghostbuster kinda thing. So, it's cool The Sims 4 choose a different concept by adding the seance and we can actually perform on it.
Place down one of the pee bushes, cats like to explore those. Either the one from debug (blushish flowers) or the Jungle Adventure one (orange flowers), since both are just 50 simoleons.
James uploads and schedules videos to post publicly in the future like most full time youtubers, it's likely that person knows him IRL and got the private link early to watch it
Nothing much has happened because you haven't really been at the house long enough, much less at night. Also, you got the ghost cat, so at least have someone give it attention and look after it? Please? (Though yeah... ghost pets the needing food and a litter box? I'll never understand that. I'd understand if they needed something for energy... but regular food?)
because "sematary" is supposed to be "cemetery" but written by a very young child that can barely spell. at least that's how I thought, the misspelling came to be.
I was playing a 5-member family with 2 cats. Got bored with the cats so I let one of them die... And then the ghost came around and I invited him again. But there's no difference between a real cat and a ghost cat! They act the same and their needs are the same! It sucks lol
Two vampire brothers raising their teenage alien brother and their ghost cat sounds like the setup for a whacky comedy and I'm so here for it
I mean, is that not what this let's play is at its heart?
Sabrina the teenage witch, who?
*buys a $1500 framed painting* "Oh well I guess we'll starve until we can afford a computer!"
Does anyone else imagine Candle as like the protagonist of a 90s teen movie? "You're probably wondering how I got here. It all started when my alien dad hooked up with a lady vampire..."
I hadn’t thought of it, despite watching a ton of those! But, now, seeing this, it’s so perfect! 🤣😂👍🏻👌🏻

"Does a ghost cat eat?" Are you really asking that question after building your entire friendship on giving the cat about 80 treats?
You could have one of the brothers romance Bonehilda for our next gen Bigwallets! I have heard someone got her pregnant
Bear in mind I did not see how they did it. And have not tried myself yet. If you want to do it I would test it in a separate save just to be sure
Ok, but which bro will bone Bonehilda?
@@bebelc2l Not sure. I would leave that up to James! Maybe more than one
@@bebelc2l I see what you did there. Nice one 👍
She is a sim in a costume so i Think it Would be posible
James, how about planting a plasma tree? Get a seed from Forgotten Hollow then you'd have your own supply of free plasma once they've grown on the tree(s).
I quit playing as a vampire because I have this problem and I couldn't figure out where the heck to get the seeds for the plasma tree thank you so much 💚
you have a ton of bookshelves reading is fun
I like how this started as a Snowy Escape let’s play and they have not even gone skiiing yet... but now it’s a Paranormal let’s play sooo... lol
New and shiny things.... lol
It wasn’t really a 100% snowy escape let’s play. James is playing with all the packs which is very fun to see
@@maddym9370 I know, I like that he’s doing that, but it does seem many let’s players have had trouble with Snowy Escape not really keeping their interest
Snowy Escape is boring and not flesh out
it's pretty random and very chaotic, which makes me love it
We didn't even dip our toes in snowy scape but I am loving the side quests and chaotic energy! 😆😆
Candle in the other room trying to do his homework, watching the lights flicker: *”Tf are they doin in there”*
candle going to the laundry room to do his homework as it's the only room where the lights won't flicker lmao
Poor guy when trying to sleep...
I love how James loves to get involved with his sims stuff. One of my favourite things was when the earthquake happened in the last playthroughs, James would shake with it. Now he join into the seance. The man loves his sims
James: I want the haunting to get worse!
Also James: Does everything to calm and reduce the haunting
lol
“This cat is going to be a menace ... but that’s part of the fun” - every cat owner ever
You can increase Sims' fun by playing laser with cat. It goes up quite a lot.
One could almost say the cat will be a ... phantom menace 🤭
👏👏👏😀
James: I want more paranormal activity
Also James: let me just mop up the symbol that will make more paranormal activity occur real quick
🤦🏼♀️
I'm pretty sure the reason he's not seeing any hauntings is because he leaves the lot at night.
No one:
Something from Batuu
James:oh, Batuu!
I like how he went up to a ghost and was like "what do you do for a living?"
Sounds legit to me. He's a vampire working in fast food, after all! XD (I did also find that amusing tho; I understand your point.)
The first night you have the lot type, a notification with info should appear. But since you were at the graveyard the entire first night, maybe something went wrong? Guidry I think appears the second or third night I think
As somebody who studied The Handmaid's Tale extensively, "performing the ceremony" has a whollllleeeee different meaning, lol
Yep

The lack of fun reminds me of 'Is fishing fun?' haha!
That "It's-a-me, Mario!" made me SNORT with laughter xD
Haha same
Your username makes me laugh
Same, as does your user name because I just hear James yelling it in my head from the Cats and Dogs LP. 😁

I feel like they should have added “visit a haunted house” to seasons holiday system
Weren’t we doing the “good vampire” aspiration with Isaiah where he had to ask people to drink instead of compelling for a certain amount of time?
Desperate times... 😂
There's a plasma tree that grows by the lake in Forgotten Hollow, and another behind Vlad's house.
I just started watching you a few months ago and have binged watch your videos...I love your bigwallett family and your sim style of playing. It’s exciting to not be years late for once lol thank you for your content!
"Where did this guys go? Is he gone?" Meanwhile, it's his mom... Bravo James :p
I think that there was a guy some time after the mom left :)
Idk why but I feel really bad for Candle like he seems kinda unhappy and he has to live with his crazy vampire brothers and not with his parents.
yea i agree. give candle back to his parents. this let’s play has too much going on to also add university to the mix.
James! Broodie's vampiric energy decreases so fast because he is always moving as a bat! Just raise his skill quickly like Isaiah's or he's going to die in the sun xDD

I really should binge watch his older stuff, as I showed up right as he came back from a vacation in the middle of the Cats and Dogs LP.
Just so you know, if you offer your soul you age up quickly
Nice. That's what I thought. New way of killing sims 😄
How does that work with vampires not ageing?
@@aasajoh wait vampires don’t age? It’s been a while for me playing with vampire sims cause they always died or were horribly depressed so idk. 🥲
@@lunaplaysgames7674 I think they stop aging when hitting adult

I think it’s because the vamp Bros left the house during the night when he’s supposed to arrive.
This LP is ALL OVER THE PLACE and i LOVE IT
Efficient plasma packs: catch two frogs for each vampire sim, keep them in your inventory, and breed them as often as you can.
Imagine if the sims team snuck in the cult of Jerry and a fez in the game. That would be so awesome! 😂
I would totally live for that! 🤣
Me Coming Here from the future: Its A Chicken Outfit in Cottage Living
This lp is chaotic af and I'm here for it
Ghost: I think I am your great great grandfather...

They should meet column child since she was a witch it will be so much fun and includes other members of the family
All the occults in one lp with skiing.

A fry cook medium vampire with a ghost cat named burger. purfect.

The university thing popped up because you're communing with the ghosts of people's wallets from student loan debts
My favorite look at this stuff pack! Love seeing it in a LP! I was just thinking all first looks seemed the same. This was fantastic and so funny!
James I think the lot is still just set to House lot type (see at 2:36) - you have to make it a Haunted House to get the paranormal activity! Like so he sees!
Not sure if it was b4 or after the time stamp you mentioned, but he did change the lot type near the beginning.
you could have checked the laundry for spare money. Also Bonehilda comes at level 3, so she can help out in a way.
I love it, a ghost cat named Burger, just cant get more perfect for this lets play :)
You can get your sims to play with the cat like the laser thing and it increases their fun.
JAMES PLEASE have you seen the RUclipsr The Sim Stream? Her builds are INCREDIBLE. i would love to see you and Deli react to something from her!
I didnt make any mistakes that edit is a lie :D
Your backdoor is at the front of the lot, that's why it was set as the frontdoor.
Maybe you could add a fishing pond from debug, so you cab catch frogs on your own property.
Love how random this LP is! And Brody as the Paranormal Investigator is an awesome idea. Especially since the career is interactive.
A part of me is hoping James tries to do a seance with a toddler to see if you can lol 😆 just borrow someone's toddler
You could breed frogs more than once by passing them back and forth between the household members. It would make it easier to make plasma packs.
James you are hilarious . Really enjoying this let’s play .
Is it me or Isaiah kinda looks like Xander from Buffy the vampire slayer? x)
I kinda thought that, too! 😁

I got so happy and excited when i got the notification for this that i twerked alittle to the intro lol so excited for this lets play !!!!
Wait
The video says uploaded 35 secs ago but the first comment is 4 hours ago ?

Daamn I’ve been waiting for this one 😌
love the Mario cameo
Why is it that every time James says "pet cemetery" I'm reminded of Pet _Sematary_ by Stephen King?
What was that just to make a point of how its spelled or something
because "sematary" is supposed to be "cemetery" but written by a very young child that can barely spell. at least that's how I thought, the misspelling came to be.
oh it reminds me of the ramones hha
You should sell the Wabbit Tablet from Candle's inventory for cash!
