A List of 12 Objects That Add Gameplay in The Sims 4. They're Great!

Рет қаралды 597,649

Күн бұрын

A list of 10 unique objects from expansions, game and stuff packs that add to gameplay in The Sims 4 in different ways. Certain items, like "Patchy" and bee boxes are not just furniture but also have a function. Many offer alternative gameplay and unique interactions that may be of great help in your gameplay. Some are very deep, like the Celestial Crystal Crown which offers different functions depending upon which crystals you've inserted and the rarity of the crystal. Bee boxes don't just give you honey, they also provide a benefit for gardening in that they boost plants nearby (within a 5 block radius) and gradually help those plants to evolve via this aura. In making this list, I've tried to avoid listing skill-specific objects, though a few are related in some way. Use this list to discover expansion objects you possibly didn't even know you had.

Maybe a misc tab for things like wands, brooms, machetes, bug spray or upgrade parts etc.

What we need is traits giving sims unique options with objects. A genius sim should be able to create inventions no other sim can make. An athletic sim should be able to do things no other sim can when they have their fitness skill maxed out. As it is, all sims are exactly the same and lack personality, traits have so little effect that even sims 1 sims varied a lot more in personality with just those 5 sliders. It's a step back.

I wish there was a dock for the drones to land in when they power down or return from the neighborhood; they often land in weird places. It would be nice to control where they are stored, other than by manually moving them. Thanks Carl! It's odd that we don't have more fun objects that add dimension to the game. The Sims 4 could be so great. I wish they would hire some of the amazing modders, CC creators, and builders within the community to expand on what they already have going for them. It would be amazing to look back in ten years and find the same amount of value that the previous versions have. TS4 isn't awful, it has a lot going for it, but it could be so much more.

I agree whole heartedly with your comment about the cc community being involved with the games further development as the cc community has some of the best ideas and stuff, way better then EA. As for those drones, I think they should have a homing/GPS system so that you can locate them in the neighbourhood; when their battery dies, as I think that is what happens to them they just shut down and drop to the ground when flat, also after I spent something like an hour searching the neighbourhood for one, I opened it up but it was empty, so I have to ask what was the point in the first place sending this thing out to video your neighbourhood if it does not do that, I thing it should have been tethered to something like the listing station or the video station and on the subject of the video station thing why can we not watch the video's that we make, again what is the point if you can not watch them yourself!

You can also put the ready-to-harvest money tree in the family inventory to get the fruit. I try to restrain myself because really just 1 money tree is more than enough. However, it’s a nice way of distributing money for a family when a kid is ready to move out, so they can start off life with more than the default 20K. I like awarding each kid with a money fruit for having good grades. Conversely, the money tree is buggy when you graft another type of plant onto it. You don’t get a chance to harvest that extra fruit, you can only sell everything. I made the mistake of grafting glow orbs onto my money tree and had to use the family inventory to get its fruit.

I know about the JA skellies, but in my (also personal) opinion Bonehilda is a loved character and nostalgia is nice, especially as TS4's one shortcoming is that it doesn't include the lore of the previous games much. The cleaning aspect really isn't the main thing, even Patchy cleans.

Here's one of the most perfectly balanced things you can do with both Jungle Adventure and Get To Work: 1. Explore the jungle and find at least one of each relic piece. That is, one of each base and one of each top. 2. Get at least one refined common, uncommon, and rare crystal. 3. Use the items from steps 1 and 2 as merchandise for a retail store. This store is like Build-A-Bear, but for relics. 4. Sell the store from step 3. 5. Refill your cup of tea and salute the picture of the queen you have positioned majestically above your computer. 6. Whenever you want a new relic, instead of having to search the jungle for relic parts, you can just visit the store and purchase the parts you need to assemble said relic. You can even fund the project with the balampalsoh-watcher relic that you can assemble. The store restocks every time you visit it provided it is not owned by a played household.

I place a small building or modify existing pavilions to add an enclosed staircase down below the park. It is a lot of land and not used. I have 5 and 4 lanes in the bowling alley section with a bar, washrooms, cash register and counter with a eating bar, sitting bar stools. Still lots of unused space, added separate sitting rooms and activity rooms, don't wake the lama, card tables, dart boards dance floor and dj booth, small bedrooms for tired sims, usually always in use by sims for woohoo. Park traits can be made convivial, hot spot, teen hang out. Place a kitchen and it gets a lot of use for celebs charity spot.

Back home I had the once relics head up for display as decoration and got constant buffs from my Sims, that they want to use it, but I haven't found the foundation yet. So I'll pass it on to my firstborn, so she can find the foundation and try it out. I think it's nice that you have something unique in your game that gets passed on different generations. The Wishing Well once brought a lonely Sim of mine a lot of luck and a charming husband ad I need to try out Patchy. I always wanted to create Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz marry Patchy, will try this soon. But thanks to your video, I'm quite hyped up again to play the Sims and try out different stuff and explore a little.

The strength of the moodlets you get depend on a sim's traits. For example, with most sims, Saffron scent grants +1 focus. But for my snob sims, it always seems to grant +2. The incense also seems to boost the duration of other spa day moodelts like bath soaks and so on, so long as you use the scent that " pairs " with the type of soak. You probably knew most of this, but I wanted to bring it up just incase.

One of my go-to moodlets preppers is a bath soak + matching incense. Easy long lasting moodlet plus clean sim.

i know it’s not an object but i LOVE butlers! they single handedly make vintage glamor one of my favorite packs. they make it actually feasible to play as a single parent with more than one kid (they are SO helpful for twins/ triplets) and they take care of little maintenance stuff i tend to forget about. plus, it’s always fun to have an affair with the butler. they change the whole game but i never see anyone talking about them, they’re seriously underrated

Something I’d love to see would for Create a sim to have a sub category of traits that don’t have to impact the actual personality of the sim but give background to the sims (eg have a sub category with things like ‘divorced’ or ‘widowed’ or ‘vegetarian’ ‘insomniac’ ‘hay fever sufferer’ - you know things that people just are vs actual personality traits. I would also love to make an overall lineage in sims. So like say you have a total of 30 sims; but are only playing with a household with 4 of them- you can select the sims from your created sims to say ‘grandma’ or ‘mum’ or ‘sister’ etc. So that you can have family living in different houses rather than have an entire family all under one roof

@thealmightybipper3381 4 жыл бұрын

It's not fool proof, but for lineage, I just make the whole family in one house, then make a separate household with a throw away character, move the family members I want out to that household, then delete the throw away. That's how I made a kid live with his bio mother and his bio father live somewhere else.

Hey Carl, been watching and reading your content for awhile. Beforehand your videos were good, but I felt that it was your veteran status in the Sims Community and the goodwill you build that kept me engaged. Now, this is actually a legitimately well made video editing and script flow wise. You’ve been improving a ton, and this is your best one by far. Keep putting more time into your guides, it pays off.

As someone who's been playing the franchise since it's release in 2000, the current sims team is probably the laziest we've had - as long as they collect their checks and can just release a patch, they don't care. That's why there's so few of these types of objects.

Not sure if it counts but the inventions your sim can create with the scientist career that came with get to work. Your sim can create a cloning machine (clones collectables & food, when upgraded can clone other sims) and my favourite: the simray (a ray gun that can do a whole bunch of stuff, but I like using it on gnomes to transform into a new item)

started watching, bet at least 8 of the objects are from stuff packs and not gameplay packs. ok i retract my statement. :P wish we got more objects like the well or bees in terms of impact, they might be small but they come with risks and rewards which tbh sims 4 needs more of

@CarlsSimGuides 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's from a mixture of expansions, game and stuff packs. I'm kind of bummed we have 28 packs but I only found 12. They're good and all, it's just one of those things I like about Sims. Finding some random item in the buy mode that I'd never noticed that has its own functions. Agree with you about risk - that also kind of comes up in the hamster part, because it's easily fixable as soon as you have it. You have to be utterly negligent on another level to die. I'd even say you have to deliberately want to die but it happens here and there to people.
