Chaz puts out an ad saying he's looking for someone to essentially be his roommate for free in exchange for help around the farm, as it's too much for him to handle alone. Hazel sees it and decides to move in because she wants more room for her dog and also because she's interested in farm life and dipping her toes in before fully committing to it. She can keep her job as a decorator and help Chaz out in her down time on the farm, and through working together they eventually fall in love and start a family 💜
I think it could be a good idea to switch around Cowlene and Lenny's sheds so Lenny can shoosh away the foxes during the day. And I'd also put in the evil chicken with the rest to ward of foxes and the Grim Reaper.
I had no idea the different traits of each of the animals could work together like this so well. Going to move my coop in between my 2 Llama sheds. Next task get that evil chicken.
@@NatashaSon I think as long as James remembers to lock the gate for everyone but Chaz, than yes, I think that has so far kept them out? But he keeps stopping Chaz from doing his tasks to shoo the foxes away, so using the llama, the evil chicken, the fox alarm or all of them together might mean he stops worrying about the foxes. Plus, I haven't seen that animation for the llamas yet outside the trailer, so I'm curious 😅
Why not move Candle in? He’s a writer who wants to get away from his brothers and in exchange for free bed and board, he helps out on the farm? He can also write his books there? He can then move on when your ready to join the let’s plays?
Afterward, Candle could move into Hazel's neighborhood, when Hazel falls in love with the farming life. Like he's renting or buying it from Hazel. So we catch two flies with one catch and it would be a realistic development aswell. We could pretend that Candle is a screenwriter and wants to live in Del Sol Valley.
@@MayaMint The golden chickens just make any regular plant Perfect quality, so the only thing he'd want them to do is affect the green house items since they're newer. They'll actually run off and do this with wild plants too, so I think it's simpler keeping them inside the gate. Putting the Evil Hen in with them is a good idea though. :)
You should wait till Hazel gets a decorator job at his farm before they get together. Otherwise, they are just such an odd couple. When she visits she can fall in love with the country life.
I think the relationship with Hazel should wait until she's looking to get out of interior decorating for the more simple life. Instead, what about aging Trenton up to a teen and get him to move in with his older brother, and then he can help on the farm. It's not that unusual for kids who have a bad relationship with their dad to want to move in with an older sibling instead.
I fully agree- the farm could be a place where “misfits” in the Big Wallet family end up. Maybe the magical ageless baby finally becomes an adult and comes to help on the farm after years of neglect by Column? LOL
I love the the Subtle messaging of "scared? Who's scared?" When James is convincing himself Chaz wont lose his bike Ps - evil chicken could be called Beelzecluck or Lucifeather
I think you should keep the LPs separate for a little longer. Merging them right now could get difficult for you. Maybe have Candle or another Bigwallet family member temporarily move in with Chaz to help out. Pretend they're on a summer vacation or something like that.
Umbrellas in the boot room please! Cos realistically you don't want it dripping in the hall lol And that laundry day outdoor sink would make sense on an exterior wall and can get your hygiene up from cleaning the animals
I think it's nice that Grim pets the chickens before taking them to wherever they go. Makes them know they didn't do anything wrong, it's just the circle of life.
Maybe Chaz's alien younger brother would wanna live with him in the country bcs they both hate their father. He can help Chaz with the gardening stuff.
During the early access part Michael Bell did something odd while near Chaz. James called him creepy, then said something like ‘more like Creature Creeper!’ 😄
Please, put the evil hen with the others because he might be able to actually stop the others from dying, judging by that description. I think it might be more than just a SW reference.
Hiya James, how about getting Patchy, he would help with the plants. He can live in the Greenhouse. Help with social, win, win. The Bigwallets and their bikes. Thank You :) Stay Safe
@@FiveOnAFriday that sucks :( I bit off more than I could chew and made a megafarm right off the bat and patchy’s been a lifesaver because I can’t tend to all those crops.
Have his half brother, Trenton move in. Like maybe he's college age and wants to get out of the house and is looking to crash someplace else. Chaz can make him do farm work to earn his keep.
James should build an old outside loo for a toilet. Would feel very much in the spirit of this farmlife let's play. And when the farm gets bigger could be nice that there is no need to walk all the way to the house
@@vanyadolly my awareness of the possible connotations of the proposed name definitely led to me typing at least two of the three question marks that I did 😂
It seems to me like the evil hen is not evil towards you, but to the ones you don't like. So I think you want it in your coop with the other chickens to help protect them. No?
Not actually. In a video i watched by carls sims guides, the chicken kept setting his crops on fire and then later killed him but maybe that was because he was mean to it? I don't remember
@@kingshalomm I think the evil hens will ruin your life if you're mean to them and develop a bad relationship on purpose, but if you treat them well they will help you.
“ I am a little concerned that I might forget about this [evil] chicken” took the words right out of my mouth James, I don’t have high hopes that you’ll remember to feed and look after it every day
You should totally get a dog, a bloodhound, and name it Copper. Cause it will be like the fox and the hound, so that when your dog fails at chasing away foxes you could just make up a very sad and relatable story about Copper and the fox becoming inseparable pals.
Chaz should just "adopt" Reginald to help around the farm, since they both have wacky supernatural parents. Hazel already knows Reginald, so maybe that's the connection that brings Hazel and Chaz together eventually?
i love the idea of Chaz 'saving' Trenton from their father and help around the farm so you have the 'family aspect' without having Hazel move in so quickly.
Maybe Chaz could have his brother move in after he got kicked out by their Dad Brodie which they both despise so you can use him to help out with the farm work then eventually he leaves once Hazel comes to the picture
The evil chicken isn’t evil to other chickens, so you can keep it in the same pen as the other chickens. They are only evil to foxes, vampires, and grim reapers. Edit: You should name your rooster Albert Eggstein and one of your hen’s chickaletta from paw patrol.
WAIT A MINUTE! When James asked the evil hen for help, the dialogue box about the story of of evil chicken Charles was a reference to Star Wars. DAMN IT EA LOL
Just to add, if hazel does end up getting a gig for chaz's place, we should take note of how much 'budget' and 'pay' hazel gets and subtract that from chaz. Pretend it's a bank loan and use cheats to slowly pay it off? Just an idea to help keep the fun of rags to riches
I think it might make sense to bring in his younger brother who happens to be a kid. That way you can get the family gameplay. Maybe little brother really hates Brodie as well and Chaz offered his home to get him out of there?
I think it would be funny to have Chaz’s brother in his household. That makes sense, maybe he wants to get away from the crazy three brothers, and chaz needs help on the farm
i love that after growing up in a super cramped home full of supernatural scary things and dark nights chaz moved to a big open farm and spends his time outside with cows and chickens 🥺🥺 not that he didn’t have love growing up but this is a glow UP
I think keeping the let’s plays separate right now would be better! You could get a different sim to move onto the lot, in a guest room or you could make a small shed of some sort, and they could be like a farmhand to help out.
Lol this is what I did in my game. The club is called farmhands and they do all my work for me. But if you don’t collect everything before they come they’ll actually harvest and keep your crops, and take your eggs and milk your cows and keep it lol
You could put a fence around the lot so you can let chickens roam? The evil hen could be a good guard chicken! If not, at least put her with the other chickens. It can keep the chickens from dying
I literally died laughing at you putting your name on the screen🤣 10/10 would be happy for you to continue the tradition. The series feels weird without it🤣
Rent out a room in your big house. makes sense for Young Guy living alone in a enormous house some og the "rent" could be helping/working at the farm, until he gets in to a serious relationship
There's an exchange program called WWOOF where people from all over the world apply to trade farm work for housing in another state/country. Maybe someone from Sulani or Mt Komorebi? Or a bored suburbanite, city slicker, or even an alien from Sixam or Batuu.
It would be so cool to take an episode just to decorate the lot with DEBUG items, terrain paint, and terrain editing. Cause I feel like it would be more realistic to buy like a grubby plot of farmland at first (like maybe with a forest on the back half or something that needs to be developed later). That way, you could "develop" your plot over time as you get more money. It would look better than just having a large green, flat plot. Plus, you're really talented at decorating plots (like how you did it for the dream home decorator lets play!)
I love how the story of Charles the Chicken is basically the cottagecore version of the story of Darth Plagues the Wise. This pack truly ties in well with Batuu.
Ohhhh I didn't realize you could turn off the animal deaths. I've had so many chickens die that Grim decided he was just gonna move in and got stuck on my lot for like a whole week. It was very ominous.
LOL! Your own watermark 😂 I'd persoanlly not mind if it was there or not. To be honest, I got so used to it being on screen that I never even noticed it there 🤣 Kinda like when you are so focused on something that you don't hear any background noise going on around you? It was like that 😄🙌
James, I'm using a woodworking table to make 17 dollar planters in my Cottage Living Rags to Riches. I want a greenhouse with at least 20 of them so it's saving me a lot of money!
The evil chicken's powers sounds like the ones Anakin Skywalker wants - so that might be why it's evil :) Edit: name suggestion - so maybe call the evil hen for Hennakin
The evil chicken notification also referenced Palpatine’s speech from the prequels (Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?) so I also agree that something SW/Sith related would fit the evil chicken perfectly!
you can get a gardener to help and you can also get patchy to help with the garden if you need extra hands. and when hazel moves in her dog can help chase away foxes.
I love the daily uploads. I have a 4 month old baby so it takes me an entire day to watch a 40 minut video. And right when I'm done - BANG! There's another one ❤️😂
Oh man I remember those day! When my now 20 month old was first born the only thing that would calm his colicky self down was James' planet zoo LP and after a 10 car ride last weekend I found it still works to calm him. Lol
@@zuzannazajac5786 I have an 18 month old that loves watching James with me. In fact I actually found out I was pregnant whilst watching one of James' videos, is that weird? Haha
don't combine the two let's plays yet! It's too early. Instead have a young sim move in as a roommate (add them to household) and pretend they're a 'workawayer'. They get to live there for free in exchange for helping out on the farm.
I grew up on a farm with chickens, and I can tell you that they definitely shouldn’t be able to lay eggs when they’re elderly 😂 but also cows shouldn’t be able to produce milk unless they’re pregnant or recently given birth so I guess they weren’t going for animal realism
@@adriannavanoyen oh yeah I forgot about that 😂 I swear with sheep you can only shear them every couple of months? I’ve never had them before tho so idk 😂
you do have to remember there are only 4 weeks in the year for sims, so time is just a concept. But i understand what you are saying about cows having to be pregnant for the milking, it is a shame we cannot breed our barn animals.
@@chachi411 they couldn’t do realistic cow milking like that in the sims it would be too cruel, because in real life in order to get the milk from a cow you have to take her infant baby away from her the second it’s born so that it doesn’t drink the milk, they both get severely distressed about being separated and the baby usually has to be given synthetic food or in some awful cases the farmer just kills the baby, they could never replicate that in the sims
I think that Chaz should adopt the child you aged up earlier in the let's play. That way you can experience raising a child during Cottage Living, have a single dad storyline and get help on the farm including cooking and canning with kids!
What if you move in Reginald from Relms of Magic Lp? Like grow him/her into a child and move him with Chaz. Yk he has had almost similar brought up like Chaz.
James, you are correct in thinking that confined chickens will eat/scratch up all the grass in their "yard". Most chickens lay really well for about 3 years and then only intermittently for the rest of their life. Around my area, farmers use ATVs to get around their property. As you see, taking care of animals and plants take a lot of work, so they use any way to speed things up. So using the bike is a great idea! Don't forget that you need some milk to cook with! And maybe a few of those veggies :)
Start a relationship with Hazel, invite her over often and she’ll help on the farm but you won’t have her in your household… separate households for separate let’s plays…
Well just like he is about to give the fox Brodie some gifts.. James : "Let me give you something to gift" Panel : Showing Jams as option James : "Why would I give you anything anyway, shoo go away!" 🤣🤣🤣
Chaz and Hazel can have a kid but still live separately and Hazel could send the kid to live on the farm. OR Chaz could use the wishing well to wish for a child, which has the fun possibility of getting an evil child… I’ve never seen anyone use the wishing well before and it’s honestly such a fun object.
This is the perfect youtube series. I can watch it intensly on the tv while eating chips at 1AM, or i can watch it on my pc while i do my chores and i can watch it on my phone in the shower! Trust me ive done it all. In like 2 days. Ive been binge watching Cottage Living xD (well only James series)
Some hen name suggestions... Also James, please name the "White Hen" and the "Golden Hen." Henry Henzee Henee Henolyn Henilyn Henily Henmer Hener Hentree Henessa (A favorite of mine) Henbur Henana Henjamin Henkins Henith Henlan Henwen Henis ClemHENtine Hensly

Yesss 😂
Love this!
I came to the comments to suggest this too. Yes!
Yes! Move it in with the others!

The evil hen’s name could be Hennibal Lecter.
The best!! 😂

It should be "bokth hengueis the wise" xD
Yesss this wins!
I vote naming the evil hen ‘Batuu’ so when you remember they exist you’ll say ‘aw yeah, BATUU!’
this!!!
Perfect!

Obviously, the evil hen should be Kylo Hen. Because Batuu!

The evil chicken actually sounds more like she's a guard? Maybe she shouldn't be isolated.
As well as the golden chickens, if they roam around they give buffs to plants and stuff.

What y’all said!
One of the hens should be named “Caw-Trina”

Agree
You should name the evil chicken potato
chaz’s alien brother who also hates their dad could “run away” from home and move to the farm haha
yea i think that's a great idea, will be like when Trash moved in with Bob!

Poor Trenton hates Brodie too Chaz needs to get him out
That even better idea than adopting one of uncles xd
Great idea!
Either Trenton or Candle!
maybe even as a teen, since everyone has a bad relationship with Brodie, he has a fight with his dad and leaves the house to live with his big bro
For the evil chicken: Hen Solo. Cause it's way back in the corner and also star wars 😀
Thought for a split second that James was wearing a bathrobe and *that* was a power move
That hoodie does look super cozy!
Id live for it
i like how we already accepted his weird trait and if he actually do that we going to be like oh that's normal
Aww the evil chicken doesn't sound so evil. She deserves to be upgraded to the community coop.
I'd put evil chicken in with the other chickens, sounds like it would actually protect them.
James should build an old outside loo for a toilet. Would feel very much in the spirit of this farmlife let's play. And when the farm gets bigger could be nice that there is no need to walk all the way to the house

Reginald is the no es IMHO. Just brillant
I was going to suggest Reginald since he is trying to get away from his family, but he’s family just not as close
This is amazing!
i love the idea of Chaz 'saving' Trenton from their father and help around the farm so you have the 'family aspect' without having Hazel move in so quickly.

Sounds like evil chicken is a guardian chicken. I don’t think it’ll attack other chickens. Maybe try it out?
You could add either Candle (Uncle) or Trenton (brother whom is a Alien) to his house hold.
I think keeping the let’s plays separate right now would be better! You could get a different sim to move onto the lot, in a guest room or you could make a small shed of some sort, and they could be like a farmhand to help out.
You can buy and befriend Patchy and he’ll come to life and take care of your crops, that’s what’s happening in my farm
Summer. England. Rain.

I saw someone suggest “bocktuu” and I love it for the Evil chicken lol
It seems like the Evil Hen would do well with the other hens since it scares away foxes and so on!
You could put a fence around the lot so you can let chickens roam? The evil hen could be a good guard chicken! If not, at least put her with the other chickens. It can keep the chickens from dying
I literally died laughing at you putting your name on the screen🤣 10/10 would be happy for you to continue the tradition. The series feels weird without it🤣
I love how James actually reads the comments and keeps them in mind while playing.
Rent out a room in your big house. makes sense for Young Guy living alone in a enormous house some og the "rent" could be helping/working at the farm, until he gets in to a serious relationship
There's an exchange program called WWOOF where people from all over the world apply to trade farm work for housing in another state/country. Maybe someone from Sulani or Mt Komorebi? Or a bored suburbanite, city slicker, or even an alien from Sixam or Batuu.
It would be so cool to take an episode just to decorate the lot with DEBUG items, terrain paint, and terrain editing. Cause I feel like it would be more realistic to buy like a grubby plot of farmland at first (like maybe with a forest on the back half or something that needs to be developed later). That way, you could "develop" your plot over time as you get more money. It would look better than just having a large green, flat plot. Plus, you're really talented at decorating plots (like how you did it for the dream home decorator lets play!)
The watermark literally made me WAAAAYYY tooo excited 😆 it actually made my day and I miss it 😢
Move his brother trenton in with him, even though he’ll be a kid he could still probably help out with some stuff
21:54 "....he could even stop the ones he cared about from dying," Revenge of the Sith reference lol, Charles the Chicken = Darth Plagueis confirmed!
Was looking to see if anyone else caught that.
So happy somebody else clocked onto the reference!
lol thought i was the only one to get the reference
This reference made me laugh so much 😂
Went into the comments to see if anyone else noticed the reference. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 😆
I love how the story of Charles the Chicken is basically the cottagecore version of the story of Darth Plagues the Wise. This pack truly ties in well with Batuu.
Loved that too 😁
I’ve heard hennibal and Kylo Hen for the evil hen 😂 I take no credit I just want James to see these!
When you get an evil Rooster call it Calcifer because of the fire eyes 🔥
Ohhhh I didn't realize you could turn off the animal deaths. I've had so many chickens die that Grim decided he was just gonna move in and got stuck on my lot for like a whole week. It was very ominous.
I would love for a new HEN to be named "HENNIFER" 😅
I just started singing the song
🌮 🌮🌯 🌯 🌮🌮
Hennifer Chickenston
And it has to be the evil hen
I did that last night 😂
LOL! Your own watermark 😂 I'd persoanlly not mind if it was there or not. To be honest, I got so used to it being on screen that I never even noticed it there 🤣 Kinda like when you are so focused on something that you don't hear any background noise going on around you? It was like that 😄🙌
I felt this!
James, I'm using a woodworking table to make 17 dollar planters in my Cottage Living Rags to Riches. I want a greenhouse with at least 20 of them so it's saving me a lot of money!
The evil chicken's powers sounds like the ones Anakin Skywalker wants - so that might be why it's evil :)
Edit: name suggestion - so maybe call the evil hen for Hennakin
The evil chicken notification also referenced Palpatine’s speech from the prequels (Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?) so I also agree that something SW/Sith related would fit the evil chicken perfectly!
@@mezoglea5801 Oh yeah THAT was what I actually was thinking of, must admit I forgot Palpatine's name hehe
you can get a gardener to help and you can also get patchy to help with the garden if you need extra hands. and when hazel moves in her dog can help chase away foxes.
I love the daily uploads. I have a 4 month old baby so it takes me an entire day to watch a 40 minut video. And right when I'm done - BANG! There's another one ❤️😂
Same! I have a 3 month. I’m loving these daily uploads.
Oh man I remember those day! When my now 20 month old was first born the only thing that would calm his colicky self down was James' planet zoo LP and after a 10 car ride last weekend I found it still works to calm him. Lol
Anyone else joining our mom club? 😂
@@zuzannazajac5786 I have an 18 month old that loves watching James with me. In fact I actually found out I was pregnant whilst watching one of James' videos, is that weird? Haha
Yes :) i have 21 monts old girl and this is first LP i am watching since she was born
don't combine the two let's plays yet! It's too early. Instead have a young sim move in as a roommate (add them to household) and pretend they're a 'workawayer'. They get to live there for free in exchange for helping out on the farm.
I grew up on a farm with chickens, and I can tell you that they definitely shouldn’t be able to lay eggs when they’re elderly 😂 but also cows shouldn’t be able to produce milk unless they’re pregnant or recently given birth so I guess they weren’t going for animal realism
Same with shearing llamas ever day! 😂
@@adriannavanoyen oh yeah I forgot about that 😂 I swear with sheep you can only shear them every couple of months? I’ve never had them before tho so idk 😂
you do have to remember there are only 4 weeks in the year for sims, so time is just a concept. But i understand what you are saying about cows having to be pregnant for the milking, it is a shame we cannot breed our barn animals.
@@chachi411 they couldn’t do realistic cow milking like that in the sims it would be too cruel, because in real life in order to get the milk from a cow you have to take her infant baby away from her the second it’s born so that it doesn’t drink the milk, they both get severely distressed about being separated and the baby usually has to be given synthetic food or in some awful cases the farmer just kills the baby, they could never replicate that in the sims
I like the interaction Grimm has with the chickens, makes it a little less traumatizing when it's the chicken's time to go
This pack really should come with a bike... kinda messed up that they're only providing one to people who buy early
Do you have discover university?
I think that Chaz should adopt the child you aged up earlier in the let's play. That way you can experience raising a child during Cottage Living, have a single dad storyline and get help on the farm including cooking and canning with kids!
I LOVE this idea! Doesn't even have to necessarily be that kid! Like an Anne of Green Gables situation. lol Adopting a kid to help on the farm!
Or maybe chaz' younger brother
@@nightrayneraven1323 Oh yeah! Trenton can move in!
@@LarrietDarling agreed it can be any kid or even a new child! I think it would be such good gameplay though!!
Wow... This is crazy xdd and I love it
I think every farm needs a dog. Especially to keep the foxes away!
What if you move in Reginald from Relms of Magic Lp? Like grow him/her into a child and move him with Chaz. Yk he has had almost similar brought up like Chaz.
Ooh yes, poor guy got the short end of the stick and I'd love to see him actually get a life!
James, you are correct in thinking that confined chickens will eat/scratch up all the grass in their "yard". Most chickens lay really well for about 3 years and then only intermittently for the rest of their life.
Around my area, farmers use ATVs to get around their property. As you see, taking care of animals and plants take a lot of work, so they use any way to speed things up. So using the bike is a great idea!
Don't forget that you need some milk to cook with! And maybe a few of those veggies :)
Start a relationship with Hazel, invite her over often and she’ll help on the farm but you won’t have her in your household… separate households for separate let’s plays…
Age up cousin(?) Reginald and have him come to help out!
I very much want Reginald to move it. Plus it's a link to Hazel since she aged him up.
Grim reaper: **poof**
Chaz: let me go tend my garden lalalalalaaa
Yes!!! When he turned the camera and just kept talking 😅 I was sitting here going “James! James! Grim!!” Then he just leaves the lot 😂
Well just like he is about to give the fox Brodie some gifts..
James : "Let me give you something to gift"
Panel : Showing Jams as option
James : "Why would I give you anything anyway, shoo go away!"
🤣🤣🤣
@@eternalbanana212 ohhhh James 😅😂
The evil chicken could be Hellen. Like a "hen" but it starts with "hell" because they're evil.
Loving the whatermark . Genial joke 🤣🤣🤣 "This video is braught to you by James Turner " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chaz and Hazel can have a kid but still live separately and Hazel could send the kid to live on the farm. OR Chaz could use the wishing well to wish for a child, which has the fun possibility of getting an evil child… I’ve never seen anyone use the wishing well before and it’s honestly such a fun object.
Please move someone in your old house (maybe even Hazel) and have him visit the lot and swipe the frog because I really miss it
Ball of yarn for every chicken that passes 😢
When He Forget To Turn Off The Watermark I Didn’t Even Notice It Was On
