james how about a reverse rags to riches when you start with an extremely expensive house and 0$ and try and keep up with the coming large bills without selling any of the house objects !
That sounds fun and to see what kind of mischief you can get up to making the simoleons to keep the house.
Cool idea
Like a bankruptcy challenge!
Yes!!! Love this idea!
@Jake-Amir Blumenfeldwitz that’s how I usually play too 😂
I hope james is going to do a 1m simoleons challenge with batuu and we get a full episode of him saying just "aww batuu :)" over and over
That would make my day
Can you even make simoleons in batuu?
@@mornasev i dont think so cuz batuu has its own currency
1 million Galactic Credits!!
So Batuu has its own currency- however some of the items you can buy/craft/earn there do sell for simoleons once you come home - but I think it’s pretty low value for high effort. Like the droids you build, etc.
I love these challenges, it's like speedrunning an entire let's play series in an hour.
Yes! That’s exactly what it’s like! Sims Speed Runs! 💯 💯 💯
Selvadorada - is a very sunny place. James - "let's be a vampire!"
Honestly.. I thought I miss heard him at first lol
there was 665 likes, so I put mine
41:26 VLAD of all sims really had the Audacity to call and be angry about Semaj drinking plasma without permission, as if Vladdy Daddy isn't singlehandedly responsible for EA having to add a "disallow vampires" option on front doors 😂
It’s probably because Semaj stole his victims which means less blood for Vlad 😂
In three years of me playing, Vlad has never bitten any of my sims without permission. He has broken in to do my washing up and take my trash out a few times though. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed. I want a nighttime Vlad attack.
@@StormEyes1991 Same! he only came by once when I first bought the pack, stood on my sidewalk for 10 minutes, and left. I want to see what all the fuss is about
@@StormEyes1991 that is so odd, I swear he's attacked my sims at night in every other save I have 😂
@@StormEyes1991 Were your Sims asleep when he came in? I don't think he can wake them up. I've never actually had him break into a Sim's house, but I started playing around August this year, I think they patched it.
“James becomes a millionaire through smuggling artifacts to trade on the black market”
...to vampires.
I've actually found that having a mermaid Sim is the best occult to have in Selvadorada because they don't mind getting rained on and they can sleep in water, which also fixes their hydration need so they never need to shower.
That’s smart!
Big brain
How does being able to sleep in water help in selvadorada?
@@lilmissmonsterrr The tombs have pools
That's an insane hack ‼️❤️🔥
I wonder if James ever realised that the reason everyone hated him was because he took the weakness where relationships start in the negative?
I was so confused at the start the comment😂 it sounds like you're saying James, the RUclipsr was hated and I was like "did I miss something?!"
As someone with a masters degree in archaeology - can confirm it is not the best way to make money!
Loving this series James :)
Hahaha, poor you :((
maybe you need to do more tomb raiding. cannel your inner Indy.
Oof 😆 sorry about that!
I actually wanted to study archeology but my mom said she wouldn't support that because it just isn't going to give me a nice life🙃 Tbh I think you can make enough to live but I also kinda get her
Definitely took the difficult road.. Science career, just to get the cloning machine, then Selvadorada- just to get the treasures (which there are more treasure chests outside of the temple, by the natural baths area).. and then clone the treasures (or any high priced items) and sell on the table. That would have been the speed run to one million.
Good idea 💡👍
would you have to remove the money you got from the career then?
@@user-ik7vm1kt6q You wouldn't need to. The challenge is just to make money quickly. Having a career is allowed, it's just that careers aren't usually the quickest or most interesting way.
I can remember as I tried this path out 😊 my Sim got so rich so fast getting this machine
Learning the copypasto spell would be quicker, but he did that before.
The spa refresh added facemasks and there's one that protects vampires from the sun. It's a temp fix while you work on the sun resistence
lol that's amazing. does it have any special ingredients?
@@SomeoneBeginingWithIIDK I think it's the sun soothing one. It's for sunburn but I tried it with a vampire out of curiosity and the effect lasts a few hours once you take the mask off
@@rociorodriguez589 If you up your vampire lore you can also learn to make a drink that prevents burning from the sun for I think around 8 hours. You need a bar though, and it might go bad if you try to stock up, I haven't tested that.
@@ILuvAyeAye I know, but facemasks are easier. To do the drink you need the bar, the ingridients, mixology skill and vampire lore skill. Too much fuss if something shows up and you're not ready, or if you have a lazy vampire. And no, you can't stock up. Also, depending on storytelling I sometimes don't want my vampires to have any lore skill... It's nice to have options. The fastest, hassel-free are facemasks
I'd love an episode where James only uses base game + one pack, maybe even randomize it. Absolutely love this series!
My first pets 🤣🤣
Maybe use the pack randomiser for one game, one stuff, one expansion and then do whatever money making you can while limited to those 3 + basegame
That would be pretty cool to compare actually
I love how it was going so well and then all of a sudden you're over it. The unravelling into chaos is always my favourite part!
marcus becoming totally obsessed with vampire!semaj in the most bella swan style is not what i expected from this video but relatable
The quickest way with Archeology is to become a spellcaster, find the most expensive treasure, and clone it until you reach $1 million.
A scenario: *James does all the events and phone calls asking to hangout*
Lol I would love to see that 😂
That would be hilarious, but semaj would need to do at least one yard sale so he had more than one contact
He did something similar to this a couple of months ago called like I let the sims decide what I do or something like that
A dreary world filled with rain, gloom and unhappy plants seems the perfect starting point for a challenge filled with vacations! =) I love this series.
i think it would be really cool if you had a ranking table and at the end of the episode you would put that episode's method on for comparison
Yess I'd love to see this!
Yes!!!
Thirded
Great idea!
really love the idea of shopping a vampires yard sale of archeological artifacts in the middle of the night
You could try earning million by opening presents and getting presents from Santa. Make Winterfest everyday!
True story: my vampire sim's first Winterfest was spent fighting Santa for presents on the top of the pyramid when I found out that public lot and lack of witnesses made it possible to do over and over again! XD Shame that lots of them was automatically sent to the house inventory, so it wasn't possible to keep track of the loot in real time.
This sounds like chaos and I need to see it
watching the beginning of this video and I’m looking forward to when James realizes that vampires burn in the sun and his sim is an archeologist whose entire gig revolves around digging in the sun 🤣
My first thought as well LMAO
There are treasure chests in the outdoor areas, the crashed airplane area for example, which is a lot faster than grinding through the temple each time.
Plus if you buy enough things from the selling tables in the square, and have high enough skills in a few key areas, you can get treasures pretty consistently going through the gates.
aww, this brings back memories of the bigwallet series. I loved those chapters with the Jungle Adventure pack.
I’ve actually been playing out the archeology thing with a sim but I’m having them go to university before heading to the jungle. Get the skills up to par. I’m glad I came across this video, it had a lot of great tips
Can you gain the archeology skill in university? I’ve never tried that before!
@@sophiecarbone4977 you can gain pretty much any skill in university...you just take it as an elective on top of any degree you're doing
@@sophiecarbone4977 I’m only into the second term so I haven’t seen a specific class for archeology but the other classes will give you the skills you need to be successful in the jungle. Logic, fitness, charisma, and there’s even a class for Selvadoradian culture.
@@karinaszubert cool thanks!
@@StoneyosaurusrexRex oh gotcha. Thanks! Good luck!
I absolutely love the archaeology skill and the content from the Jungle Adventure pack. One of my favorite packs and I think it's so underrated. ❤️
I think that too and I really want Selvadorada be a place to live in, not only vacation world!
@@reynavaldez13 Me too!! I don't understand why it has to be just a vacation world.
@@Ellary_Rosewood yeah, especially since every new world can be vacation AND living world in the same time. I don't understand why Selvadorada and Granitem Falls are not included in this change😔
@@reynavaldez13 Yeah, hopefully they'll change it soon. I also love the Granite Falls world and would love to live there as well.
Mine as well! Some gripes though: you are blocked from the temple for several days after picking treasure chests clean (no full collection for you. Say hi, dupes), cleaning and authenticating artifacts takes FOREVER, always having a door or 2 blocked each temple run is frustrating, if you and don't get me wrong I enjoy the conventionality, properly supply your sim with survival gear - there is no point to living in those awesome locations we pay much money for.
Love how james sent vlad home so he wouldn't die after asking him to move in and forgetting that he removed the roof.
I think it's really cool that James uses supernatural sims to use their powers for the challenge. I've honestly never thought of doing that before
EARLY!!! I feel like James is gonna try to make 1M simoleans into a series now with all of these different techniques
In my mind it's already established as a series
Loved the video, as always !
Just so you know, there is treasures in a lot of places, so you didn't had to reset the temple. If you went exploring the jungle. You could have find a lot of frogs and plates in every 'secrets lot' like the plane crash, the ominiscan bath and such... I actually got a million this way very quick only with treasures and the selling table ;)
I started the no skills no problem scenario with archaeology only and selling those plates on the market table quickly got me to 200k. But then my painting club made up of NPC "friends" was making 50K per day so I just stuck with that to finish.
I’m loving this series. It’s so much fun!
The amount of redundant gameplay that you do for our entertainment is crazy!
Love you 💕
This would make a great movie! An archaeologist that is also a vampire 😂😂😂
Oh this is gonna be good. Thank you for suffering for our entertainment James!
I forgot how much I enjoyed the Jungle Adventure gameplay for Sims. This was fun!
Vampires and archeologists naturally go together, I say as a Jojo fan.
As an archaeologist I am very excited for this one :D
HAHA its just like in real life, you cannot get rich with this one
Every day is a holiday! Set a holiday each day with gnomes, gifts and father winter. Although make him father summer, cause we’re in Australia.
Put the gnomes in your sims inventory after appeasing. They will continually drop seed packets into your household inventory. If it’s in the game it’s not cheating.
Open the gifts in a gift pile. Father winter will add to it each day. Also ask him for a gift. Sell smaller gifts at a yard sale. Sell the bigger ones normally.
With more gnomes added each day the seeds really start to add up quickly.
They need to add better rewards on scenarios , it’s quite underwhelming
I love the different types of ways you do this challenge.
Occults are so underrated in the sims community. All of my sims are spellcasters and vampires.
I’ve never done archaeology before. Maybe I’ll be brave now. Thanks for the video.
RIP to the photo to friendship glitch, it was so useful!
literally 2 minutes in and the fact ts4 makes you wait through a loading screen to get to your "house" that's not only Right beside you but also literally just an empty lot will never cease to confuse and annoy me 😭😭
9:22 Luckily, Vampire skill trees don't work like this - you are free to pick any power you want, not being bound to a specific 'tree branch' c:
You can also go to "granite falls" and after watching that giant beaver statue they have there you can make smaller statues in the woodworking table, they sell for 6000 simoleons in the selling table (with 300% margin) and with bigger fabrication skill they go for an higher price.
I want to see Semaj with 7 Pets who he can send of to find treasure! xD
He would get there easy with feathers!
Side note : «Fledermaus» is «bat» in German.
As a vampire, you should look around Vlad's backyard. You can find some plasma fruit trees. Plant them and harvest the plasma fruits. Eating them will help with your thirst. Have as many plasma trees as you like.
Those emotion berries will give you some emotions when eaten. You can also plant them and get more emotion berries.
I think adding another sim to the household like you did in flower arranging would have been good. When you build a site, multiple sims can dig up the stuff. Plus one could be selling while the other authenticates.
These speedruns are hilarious. But, I think it would be interesting to see James do this challenge (whatever fun or cool way he thinks of) but he also has to have some kind of okay looking house, maintain some friendships, be moderately clean, and eat on a regular basis.
Yeah, basically playing the game but I think that might be the biggest challenge yet for him, lol
But that would take so long that it couldn't be a single episode, turning it into essentially a rags to riches let's play which he does all the time already...
@@franklyfrankie1203 That’s true.
Wait did Vlad SERIOUSLY message Semaj saying “I cant believe you are drinking plasma ,that’s just not right!”?!
Aw... this autoplayed from Simsie's latest video and I didn't figure out that it was an older video until he started taking photos.. I miss photos of friendship!
I don't know why this made me think of this, but ever since watching James, I always say Katrina like "KATRINA!" when I see her when I'm playing. Makes me think of him every time lol
I’m really enjoying this series, especially when James uses occults. I wonder if there are advantages to being an alien or mermaid for these challenges
James thanks for those long and entertaining videos 💛
I love this series so much. It’s perfect for James
James' Sim is cheeked up. Holy frig.
this was actually so fun to watch, i appreciate your tenacity when it comes to these challenges :')
I absolutely love all of the different ways you've done this scenario!
The decoration box, gardening, busking with an instrument
Just another day that James and Deli helped with my anxiety. Love u guys❤️
I admire your dedication, James. Keep the challenges coming.
I don't understand when people say that there's no gameplay in this game I've been watching this for half an hour now and it's a whole lot of stuff that I never even thought to do
Being an actor and RUclipsr at the same time, being an actor is a career and the media production table are separate so you can do both
by far my most favourite jumper youve worn. Love it
I think the huge friendship gain from photography is from the Mosquito pack. I don't have Mosquito and I can take photos of sims but they don't pose for me, and it doesn't cause significant friendship gain.
you can still choose "take photo with...", which is in the base game and also provides a massive friendship gain
@@M3RDR Yeah, I don't have Moschino and I still get the boost. It's something that has been happening since the game came out with base game.
James, I am loving this ‘series’!
I like that You make it a bit harder for yourself by not having the Collector trait and being a vampire in a sunny place! 😄
I favor fighting Vlad, you actually get a larger power boost from him, and he's pretty weak.
If he'd had married in the end, I coulda made a "gold digger" joke :D But hey, Vlad is a relic in himself, so no (self imposed) rules broken to that point X)
I've been having a rough day,, but hearing 'Vlady Daddy' made me so happy. I'm so glad it was at the beginning of the video too, because I was able to enjoy the whole thing.
the polite (toddler) character value is fantastic. you introduce yourself "politely" and wow.
I'm still waiting on your Black WIdow let's play!
Even though you stopped with the archeology stuff at the end, this was still a hilarious video. I loved how you'd start a yard sale then feed on your customers. ROFL!
Love your game play James, and the teddy jumper is great. x
😂 I thought you were being ambitious when I saw the title!
You can try getting rich with clubs! Like letting them paint, garden, and selling the stuff they make 😇
The combination of Vampire and archaeology was a really fun combo :)
LOL personal space. Ahh that's so funny. Love this video.
The Selvadorada route works well when you're doing the No Skills, No Problem route, as you can go through the temples and dig for artefacts and get decent payback without any skills. Yeah it takes a lot of tedious work but it *does* make it go faster.
I personally prefer Vampires Super Speed, not only does it look cool. Its actually a bit faster not having your sim take time to do animation to poofing in and out of the bat form, sometimes instead of literally moving 2 squares.
Nice thing about going on vacation there is that you can get your Gardening Skill very high by dealing with those vine-overgrown doors, so no need to wait for it to up to a useful level by doing low grade stuff.
James I look forward to your videos so much I check RUclips everyday lmao!!! You make me laugh so much.
Love this series!
Love these challenge videos! I would have planted plasma fruit which would have grown fast on the tiny lot, and then taken that with me into the jungle so I didn't have to leave to find Sims to drink from. I also would have just skipped the dig sites and raided the temples over and over to sell the big ticket items on the table. I know you didn't want to do the witchcraft path again, but imagine Copypasto with those big ticket items. Once you had that spell, one trip to collect a bunch of frogs and plates, copy them over and over and one million would have been easy. I'd love to see you plant oversized watermelons and lettuce only, can them (canning them only takes seconds because you only have to chop, no cooking involved and each large one produces 12 jars worth $100-$200). Also, for any of your rags to riches scenarios, you can buy small ones at the market stand for five bucks, can them quickly and sell the jars to make a couple hundred. Much faster than gardening or fishing to get started. You can also sell them on the selling table at 300% markup and make even more money quickly.
i am really enjoying this 1M challenge series ❤
I am sorry you had to go through all that, but I do appreciate it.
These challenges are so much fun to watch!
I think that if you made a spellcaster it would be better, bc you wouldn't have to worry about the sun and feeding. So I think that perhaps that would have bought you some extra time if you didn't picked the vampire.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!
This was chaotic but very useful thanks 😊 and also funny
I was the one who suggested Archeology. Thank you for attempting it, James. I didn't think it would be quick, but actually thought it would pay off. Now I know it needs to be balanced with other things for a Sim to get rich (sch as a garden at home every time the Sim goes back to store/ authenticate artifacts). It's fun for me, but not everyone likes a long play, lol.
I have learned so much about the Sims 4 from this series!
This episode just made me realize, with so many forms of teleportation (Vampire Mist and Bat, Spellcaster Transportilate Spell, Wellness Teleportation, Shift+Click teleportation, and really even Werewolf Tunneling or Brooms) was this accounted for when they implemented Infant carry harnesses in Growing Together? I wonder if this type of travel will be disabled when carrying a baby on your back, if they'll travel with us, or if they completely forgot and the baby is just going to get dumped on the ground (or worse, glitch and get stuck in midair.)
One upside is now I really wanna replay jungle adventure 😂
Wow, early, early! I guess that’s the pros of having a newborn who’s up at 3am (from NZ by the way) Love your work!🤍
Congratulations! ❤️
This looked absolutely torturous to do but it was such a joy to watch!!! Died laughing at so many parts
My favorite rags to riches I’ve ever done was an archeologist RUclipsr she’d take her little camera drone to record her. It was fun
I don’t have Jungle Adventure, and I haven’t seen many videos of it, so I’m really interested to see this video!
Suggestion 1:
Have Semaj do these skills:
Maybe put the categories on wheel and spin the wheel. The one he lands on, is the one that he has to do for that video, and is then removed from the wheel once it's been used.
or
Start with 1h and work your way up the list or start with 1a and work your way down the list.
All of these skills listed have a page on Carl's Sims.
1a. Music: guitar, piano, violin, singing, writings songs, and Mix Tapes from the DJ Booth. Maybe pair this with 1 or 2 part time jobs or the Entertainer career (Musician Branch)
1b. Food: Baking and Mixology. The pages for each skill on Carl's Sims will tell you the retail value for each item. Maybe pair this up with the part-time jobs: Barista and/or Fast Food Employee or a full time job: Critic (Food Critic Branch) or Culinary (Mixologist Branch)
1c. Residual Income: writings songs, writing books, Media Production, Programming, and Mix Tapes from the DJ Booth. Maybe pair this up with full time job Writer career (author branch), the freelancer Writer Branch or the freelancer Programmer Branch.
1d. PC, Videos and Gaming: Programming, Media Production and videos games. The page for the video gaming skill on Carl's Sims will tell you how much money Semaj can make in video game tournaments. Maybe pair this up with the freelancer Programmer Branch or 1 of the full time jobs: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer Branch), Engineer (Computer Engineer Branch), or Social Media (Internet Personality Branch)
1e. Wellness: massage table, yoga classes, and meditation classes. The stone massage would make him 300 simoleons per massage. Maybe pair this up with the full time job Athlete.
1f. Outdoors (no gardening): Fishing, Diving in the water, combs the beaches, Snowboarding Videos, teaching skiing, frog breeding and TS4 Career Conservationist or 1 or 2 part time jobs: Manual Laborer, Diver, Fisherman, Lifeguard. Maybe Semaj could be a mermaid and live in Sulani or Tartosa.
1g. Comedy and Odd Jobs: Comedy with the microphone, Entertainer career (Comedian Branch), and Odd Jobs.
1h. Gardening with a twist: Full time job in the Gardener career, growing one of everything in the game that you can grow (since growing one of everything in the entire game is too much, then use your random pack generator to limit the amount to one of everything in those 3, 4 or 5 packs), and collecting and selling microscope samples. Maybe Semaj could be a PlantSim.
Suggestion 2:
Have household of more than one Semaj: Plantsim Semaj, Mermaid Semaj, Spellcaster Semaj, Vampire Semaj, Alien Semaj and Human Semaj
Use each Semaj's strengths to your advantage to make money. Here are some examples:
Plantsim Semaj - goes around collecting produce and flowers as well as frogs for breeding. The produce, minus the garlic which gets sold, goes to the versions of Semaj's that need to eat food. This way you don't need a indoor kitchen.
Mermaid Semaj - dives in the water for treasure, combs the beaches, and does fishing. Maybe keep some of the fish like salmon, trout, Bass, Mahi Mahi, perch, walleye, Tilapia and maybe tuna, while you sell the rest. If you get a grill then the sims that need to eat can grill the fish. Use the refrigerated displays, so you have a fridge that never breaks for the fish meals.
Spellcaster Semaj - have him learn the repair and copypasto spells. Maybe have him do photography, yoga and Meditation classes and the massage table, or write books and make videos, when his skills are not needed.
Vampire Semaj - maybe works two part time jobs, Barista and babysitter, and at night, handles the selling table.
Alien Semaj - Maybe he can write books and make videos or do photography, yoga and Meditation classes and the massage table, when his skills are not needed. I don't know if this sim would make more money doing his videos in alien form.
Human Semaj - Have him get a job. Maybe randomly pick 7 jobs from the TS4 jobs list on the Sims Wiki and use a wheel or number generator to pick which one he gets. Maybe his goal is to get to the top of that career.
Have these sims live in tiny home that contains a bathroom, Cabin-in-a-bag tent since it's fits four sims, and refrigerated displays. All indoors, with a very small amount of windows, while the outside has a grill. Maybe live in Sulani or Tartosa. The fish and produce would make it like the Semajs are living off the land and not spending any money making food except for the grill. Maybe even have the lot set to geothermal and natural well to lower the bills. Vampire Semaj would sleep during the day, when he's not working his 2 jobs or managing the selling table.
Love these videos !
My favourite rags to riches is dumpster diving. It never gets old. Maybe a million dollars is a bit steep though
