Now that we know the next expansion pack is going to be romance themed, this is a desperate plea for a Sandalwood LP. For Rent is stalled without an heir. Sandalwood is named after the flirty incense that helped conceive him. His look is iconic. He deserves this. He deserves the world.

I love how Rueben is in the cooking aspiration, and hes named after a sandwich.

I really wish they added food preferences to the likes and dislikes. The food is already tagged in different categories.

12:15 "jeez the rabbits are literally breeding like-" like Vlad in that one save where he had a bajillion kids? XD

Your grandmother’s son (who isn’t your father) is your uncle 😂

Ages up with dirty diaper, becomes neat.

Rueben's Ruebens would be a funky sandwich shop name.

The home chef hustle waffles and pizza make loads of money, and if you finish the appliance aspiration you get extra servings of everything you cook--two pizzas for the price of one!

Reuben should do the grilled cheese aspiration too so he can just summon grilled cheese and it’s the ultimate passive income

Rueben is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Gives a sim the neat trait and leaves dirty plates everywhere, ensuring poor Reuben is constantly uncomfortable. Classic LP vibes :D

Me screaming at my TV: CREATIVE!!!! CREATIVE! Choose creative!!! He’ll be inspired and cook better food!!

I didn't know you could stack the bonus traits like that without completing the aspiration first.

@30:39 The pub does have a kitchen! Devon Bumpkin put a kitchen in the pub for the sake of realism (it's functional too, full counters-fridge-stove-sink deal)

Your aunt inviting you to the romance festival totally checks out. "Hi honey, it's Aunty Scarlet, come to the romance festival with me, I've got someone I think you should meet!"

If the environment is cleaner, people buy faster and he can remain a little more focused on what you have him doing. The mess distracts him.

Bernice now focusing her energy on her grandson instead of Semaj 😂

For fun, you should sell product in relation to the Weather/Seasonned/World. IceCream in the Summer at the Beach, Apple Pie in fall, stew in ranch world etc.. Allow to discorver/rediscover the food that came with packs and diversity

The prices on the table go up because of your charisma skill!

James: “that’s where the money’s at”. My brain: “the money is in the banana stand”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

it would be so cool if sims could also have a food preference, similar to favorite colors and styles. It would be fun to have sims who are vegan, vegetarian, lactose/gluten intolerant, picky eaters, have a sweet tooth etc.. those shouldn't be traits, they should be preferences

James stressing his black and white hoodie meanwhile the little ORANGE bear on it; "I'm here!"

I feel like you should have collected all the gifts from Rueben’s birthday before moving him out and allowed him to then sell them for money - all the other sims got to keep their personal inventory items from the last let’s play, which Rueben didn’t have, they were gifts for him, and Kristoff does NOT need the money, being the wealthiest a neighbor in tiny town and the easiest to make more money with.

I would love it if they revamped the cooking system. They've added tons of new recipes and they've freed the cupcakes, but the menu is so long and bulky! Pies, breads, and cakes are still considered cooking and not baking. I feel like if you have Get to Work, pies, breads, and cakes should also count towards your baking skill. And I feel like we haven't gotten anything new in gourmet cooking in ages. Like, pufferfish nigiri should absolutely be a gourmet cooking dish. I know there are probably mods to fix this, but console players don't get mods. And it's not really game breaking, it just makes your game lag. It seems like an easy change.

BABE WAKE UP WE GOT A NEW TINY TOWN CHALLENGE VIDEO!!!

Re: challah, I think it’s fine to use it when you need money for things like half-walls, wallpapers etc. but it does make it too easy and boring imo. I really like the idea of the pop-up kitchen around San Myshuno!

If you're doing the San Mashuno thing, don't forget that there is a table at the Food Festival (near the lights and speaker - NOT near the plants) where you can get some of the special San Mashuno food for free. I learn quite a few recipes that way.

Waaait, something's missing....oh yeah, it's not raining 🤔😁

I think wedding cakes could be a good idea when he has his skills up!

That makeover had me shook 😅

”His color is orange we must not forget that” proceeds to give the house blue furniture 😂

I think it would be fun to explore the small appliances for the selling table, some of the waffles and pizzas do pretty well from what I remember, even ice cream and popcorn are super quick and easy and you can make them as you sell!

The food you buy at stalls always disapear if you stop eating it, so it's impossible to re-sell them

I feel like if Krystof could use the sketch pad and the selling wall at 300%, so can Rueben

Poor James, not realizing his neat cooking Sim is getting upset by the mess on his lot. LOL

James - “does the pub have a kitchen?” All of us - “YES!” James - “nah I think it’s just a bar…” 😂😂😂😂

Sonny heard it was their turn so they just showed up for the LP anyways 😂

new spinning way is so cool

I feel like he should go into gardening, but only like one plant of each you could need, so not to sell the plants, just for ingredients. And maybe fishing? He could even get the meat wall, though i dont know what you need to get it. I think that would be fun so its not "just" cooking food and selling it but maybe becoming an "organic, home made food stall/ small restaurant" at some point. You could even build him a little restaurant attached to his house, similar to the café you did for "For rent"? But maybe more rustic, so the stall fits in. There's a lot of possibilities, I'm loving this 😍😂 And i think its fine for the start to only sell the expensive stuff, but when the house is a bit more developed, maybe just go for stuff thats fun, like the pizza and waffles or only certain types of food to give the stall a "theme" or something like that

In this episode we learned James doesn’t know what an uncle is 😂

If you complete the aspiration from home chef hustle, you can mark up by 500%, with a bonus trait. Which works for that sim on all street selling items.

The park in San Myshuno has a full kitchen you can cook in!

'Should have gotten him the food-selling table from Home-chef Hussle rather than the fridge. He could then use the community grill, stock up the table and sell the food he cooked. [A while later...] Ah. There we go. Grand meals, like Turkey Dinner sold well.

The answer is No, you can not resell or keep food stall food at festivals. You either eat it right away or it disappears. Even if you sit with it. The plates are made to disappear to prevent dirty dishes everywhere after the festivals end.

Dunno if you know but, if and when we come back to Reuben, I found out if you cook and have other Sims eat your meal during any event, it counts for the dinner party aspiration. Was a surprise when it worked because I hate that part of the aspiration to HAVE to do a dinner party to complete it but for some reason it works 😁

Poor you, running into all these issues. I'm curious what happened in the alternate timeline episode but this was a super fun episode! Reuben has a bit of a Semaj look to him, taking after his father more than most! Nice to see.

You should add a vault into the community area for now to 'collect donations' from each household so that whatever money is in the vault can be used for the community area

The alien pizza is pretty good too. You need to grow quill fruit or some other alien fruit, but you can get a mixer and a pizza oven and put them on your stall. Cook and sell at the same time. You can get quill fruit from the grocer sometimes. It's more likely on Saturdays with the Finchwhick Fair.

Rueben’s moustache is to die for! ❤

Baked alaska sells for real good money also grand meals are not too shabby to profit from.

As he levels up, I would like to see Reuben selling items from each skill level

Honestly James.. the level of tenacity that you have is beyond admirable! For many of the rest of us, we just get SO fed up with the bugs and glitches we rage quit for months. You really ARE the best! 🤩

2:40 Sonny is here to be like “um I thought it was my turn” 😂

You can sell food you packed in a sack. Just have to unpack it first. Would love to see a foods of the world type stall. Maybe keep a dish you know sells well and then sell only discovered foods. All the City Living foods, Dine Out foods, any of the foods that you have to learn by eating.

Rueben being the stereotypical asshole hipster chef you meet in the food industry is killing me. He looks cool but really is a neat freak who hates silly behavior 😂

Higher level pizza is good, and it's actually 'hands-off', so you can make pizza and something else on the cooker at the same time.

And why is Reuben so handsome?😭😭

I LOVE Reuben’s makeover! He’s an icon

I love how at 16:55 James talks about being able to sell individual portions on the home chef husel table forgetting that he showed us all how to grab individual servings to do the same thing a few years back LoL I still use that trick when my sims are doing something simylar. Thanks James for the tips man, much appreciated

Aurelio is Krystoffs half-brother- so Reubens uncle.

I built an entire home by selling roast chickens at the selling table lol 😂 have to be cooking level 10 but those things are worth a fortune!

yes!! New tiny town episode!! Thank you James for your patience with this funny but also full of bugs game!

Pizza can make you so much money! But you have to level up and make the better pizzas. More profitable than waffles.

I think it's fair to have one challah per day. He's gotta catch up to his dad!

Your entrepreneurship level affects how well you'll sell at higher markups :)

For future reference.. PERFECTIONIST actually affects food! So you make better quality! It's not just the "creative" stuff like painting, writing, woodworking, ect. I have a perfectionist sim in a rags to riches I started last night after getting the crystal pack and the very first thing she ever cooked was excellent.

I might be the only one that thinks this, but I feel like Reuben gives Julien Solomita vibes after the makeover with the mustache and the cooking interests (aries kitchen)

An Uncle, James… that’s called an uncle.

Yay new episode, I can’t wait for the love lp, I wonder what it’s going to be like. As someone else said Sandalwood deserves a redo. ❤

the haunting at 35:35 is KILLING me 'ope they're gone' 😭😭

Suggestion: Pablo could do odd jobs that requires the fitness skill so he can earn some extra money. Loving the series!

Since he's rolling random for each episode (minus the sim just played) I really hope there's one sim that never gets their turn and lives forever in a tent within the thriving Tiny Town lol. I doubt James would let that happen for too long, but I just think it'd be funny that the Spinning Fate (rolodex or wheel) quietly declares "...nah, not that one." 🤣

You can't buy something outside of a lot and stop eating it. The game auto cleans it up. If you're on a lot, you can set it down and put it in your inventory. They changed that a long time ago. Sometimes, you can order to go and it works that way. If you drink a bottle of nectar off lot, it will make it disappear even if there are more services left! 🤣

I avoid lactose intolerant and vegetarian traits just because for gameplay they are just frustrating barriers. And feel like a throw away use of limited trait slots.

Creative would have been a useful trait because he would’ve gained cooking skills more from being randomly inspired with the trait

Not gonna lie, Reuben is very cute! 🥰

Ruben is so hot. Not gonna lie. Btw you should go to the romance festival to eat the pufferfish nigiri 😂

33:27 E-low-tay.. 😋Delicious Mexican Street Corn 🌽

You could go full Pizza and Waffle route with a chicken, a goat and a garden to fund ingredences. Cooking is a hobby that forces you to branch out in a lot of directions to feed into the main tree. To have your own ingredients at hand can mean that you have to set up a tiny farm and order flour and sugar via delivery. You can fish and turn the fish into prepared seafood for seafood waffles and you can grow tomatoes, mushrooms and I believe banana and chocoberry to get more pizza and waffle options. Once you can cook them for free you can really get into the money making with your little food booth.

Get the always welcome thingy and go into any sims homes and practice the cooking skill, plus use their facilities. . Buy a pizza oven and cook the fancy ones and mark them up to top dollar. Pizza is always a great seller. go to all the festivals and place if can on nearest community lot to the festival and sell, sell, sell. I did this with one of my sims until she could afford to buy a restaurant.

Grand Turkey Meals sell for a lot.

There is a mod you can choose the leftovers .. it is very useful to have especially if you have a vegetarian or lactose intolerant sim. I recommend to y'all to download. Ps: Reuben is a split image of Rahul

If you don't mind sharing what you did when your world didn't load. It happened to me last month and almost lost my safe file & lost an amazing build I never saved to the gallery. if you have any solution, I'd appreciate it so much, James or anyone. Thanks.

Idk how you keep making gorgeous sims so effortlessly. For the life of me all of my sims babies are ugly 😂😂 Imma need you to upload Reuben to the gallery 🥺😬

"Look, here's the pitch, Look, this is where I live, there's my tent, that's my bush. It's literally got stink lines coming off it. I just peed in it, ok lady? so just buy this and help me out please?" 🤣🤣🤣

For cooking, ik you can cook and sell wedding cakes for a lot more money than normal food. So maybe baking would also be a lucrative route to go.

The pizzas and waffles from home chef hustle sell for really high prices!

I clicked on this quicker than Krystoff made money to build his house!

Is it weird to find a sim attractive... because Reuben is very attractive 😍

The Alien fruit pizza makes decent money. I don't remember what skill level it requires though.

I definitely want to see more of the cooking from the appliances while running the store. Maybe with a challah sale like once a week or something to bring in some more money

Having to re-record stuff sounds really frustrating. And then the bugs. Impressed that we got a video so soon with all that. Well done, James!

How perfect is it that his name is Ruben and he's a foodie who loves to cook? 😂

Wedding cakes sell really well with the chef hustle stall. $200 investment, but with 12 servings it makes its money back quickly. Roast chicken also does well.

I think the bar in Henford-on-Bagley has a kitchen 🥰

It's inflation, James. That's why the pie price is going up.

When your Sim’s customers don’t finish eating their food item, you can put it back in the selling table inventory and sell it again for the ORIGINAL amount … rather than let it rot or trash it

The fact that James could've been rich way faster with the hideous cupcake machine makes me giggle. Stanley Humphrey made bank with it really easily lol

What would be great: because the sims are building relationships when you are not playing them, it would be fun to explore their relationships in their episode (and let them move in etc.) :)

If he even plants just one tomato bush, one mushroom, one potato, he'll have plenty of ingredients but he won't be spending too much time on gardening, or making money directly from it. He'll just save money on cooking things like spaghetti, omelets, etc.
