lol this is the closest we can get to sims 1 difficulty using the sims 4

it's not a satch gameplay if chantelle chantelle isn't dying

never yelled "CLEAN THE MOULD" so much before hahaha

Satch: We need to clean the mould so Shanice doesn't die too. Also Satch: *does everything but clean the mould and is confused about why Shanice is slowly dying from the mould*

Island spirits is actually the most useful lot trait. Communing with the spirits will always give you a random positive moodlet. They last 12-24 hours. The effects are full energy, full hunger and increased skill and all need gains. The challenging lot traits are cat and dog hangout. The stray cats and dogs will wake your sims up and make the place smelly so they are uncomfortable.

Average New York apartment.

Chantelle Chantelle had the right idea by dying ASAP. lmfao. Shaniece taking on the gloomy trait after spending 2 days here sent me 🤣

Wait why were you confused about why Shanice was "smelly" and turning dark? Did you forget how Chantelle died. 🤣🤣The toxic mold was killing her too lol. Also you showed off the "bring the lightning" thing in the past. It's when you get struck by lightning twice without dying.

Not Satch literally ignoring the MOLD piles and cleaning everything else... secretly hoping of mold death! haha

Vlad is certainly a lot trait: vampire nexus. 🤣

Satch not realising that shanice is dying of mould is one of the most frustrating things i've ever had to watch 😂😂 she isn't smelly, she's mouldy 😭 Also, the gremlins break everything every night at 2am. If you're awake, they don't do it

Tip for goblins - the stuff gets broken every night only if all of sims on the lot are asleep - so to avoid never ending circle of fixing and breaking, you need to make sure that one of your sims is awake 😁 With the lightning, I remember I saw a reel once explaining that if sim has been electrocuted few times in a row, they gain a superpowers for a limited ammount of time. 🙏💙

This has to be one of the most maddening sims videos, CLEAN THE MOLD! It’s literally causing everything you’re complaining about 😂😂

This challenge went from 0 to insanity real quickly!! 💀

Satch- “lets turn on the bugs challenge & make it a vampire lot too” Also Satch- “WHY ARE THERE BEES? VLAD WHY ARE YOU HERE?!” 😂😂😂

Not me immediately going to do this to Don Lothario. 😈

Satch not realising shanice shanice was dying for half the video 💀 also the mould is more likely to spawn if there are lots of puddles around which thanks to the gremlins there were

16:40 it’s mold.

Pretty sure “power surplus” means you have power stored - so of course you either have surplus or you don’t and there’s no power. You need to go into your bill settings and set it to always store rather than autosell, and you need to click on the off grid appliances and choose to disconnect them so they don’t draw power.

simple living is the most realistic one when it comes to cooking food and i live for it it will just remind me of The Sims 2 when you eventually run out of food🤭🤭

You don't need a full greenhouse for your plants! The game counts them as sheltered even if there is just a roof over them. I usually put a glass roof over the pots and some columns on each side.

Communing with those spirits give a happy moodlet and keep hunger (no need to eat) or energy (no need to sleep) need to the max for a time. Always commune, never banish them. Just extend the roof over the plants to make them sheltered. Zero cost as roofs are free. Need more wind turbines as solar panels don't generate electricity during the night. When you have mould, you need to fix it ASAP !

Island Spirits is literally the best lot trait

shanice became thor 😂😂😂😂

22:48 I forgot to mention, when gardening, you can use trash piles from your inventory to fertilize plants. I do it because it's free fertilizer.

Hello Satch, lovely to meet you! The island Spirits can help your Sims fill needs sometimes if you commune with them I think its called Island Abundance and there is another one called Island Luck and a third is Island Sustinance. Communing with Island Spirits is more beneficial than banishing them! Just some friendly info! You're Awesome!

I started playing the sims 4 on what I call "chaos mode" which is all this crazy (lot challenges etc) turned on and I don't save my game until the end of my stream.😂 It's been so much fun to play but I really enjoyed watching, very entertaining this was great! Thank you.😂

its the mold infection taking over Shanice

The most dangerous thing in ts4 is winter swimming pools. Everything else is just nuance. I'm playing Soulmask. Soulmask isn't listed as a simulation game but it functions as such.

Shanice going to sleep exactly at midnight causing the gremlins to break everything again made me yell

James turner did this and he got the so called the “cursed fox” which was actually creepy. But the whole thing looked like a nightmare lol

Love these types of fun challenge videos that include gameplay!

I built an auditorium based on The Faculty movie and within a few minutes like 4 sims died 🤣 so if anyone wants to spice up High School Years game play it's called 'The Faculty Facadeitorium'

this was sooo chaotic 😭 i couldn’t help but laugh any time there was an earthquake

“i wonder what they think of my lovely home” 😭😭 I DIED

I needed a good laugh today and this did it, thank you! This was so chaotic and i love it 😂

This is actually cool, surprised at how hard it was. I’d try it out if I didn’t need 80 packs to get all of them 😭

Oof, this is gonna be even worse than when James Turner did this challenge, because there are even more lot challenges now! (salutes) Good luck! --...ooohh..the very cheapest barbecue, and candles, wooden floors....yeah THIS house isn't going to catch on fire at all! :D Random free tulips? yay? You can sell them, anyway. Maybe make flower arrangements? I don't think that station needs electricity, either. --Books. The main way I get my Sims' fun up on off-the-grid lots, is books. Also stuff like swimming. Is there a music thing that works off the grid? My Sims LOVE them some dancing. --Get a dumpster! That way, the garbage filling up might possibly lead to: TREASURE! :) Also you can woohoo in it, which seems appropriate for this house. (Also raises Fun.) I personally usually get a dumpster as soon as I can afford one, in my rags-to-riches household. They can be very helpful (sometimes). --"Shanice wants to change her personality from Cheerful to Gloomy"--RIGHT as Chantelle is dying of mold. Gee, I wonder why THAT change could be... "We've got our first dead Sim--good for you, Chantelle! Ooh, the tomatos are ripe!" XD --I think Shanice has come down with mold. Passing out directly IN a patch of it probably isn't going to help. Vlad, you do NOT want to drink her blood right now! --"This wasn't supposed to be some sort of torture thing..." but we all knew it WOULD be. Some of these lot traits drive your Sims crazy by themselves! 15 challenges...?

1:06 - "Vampire Nexus sounds challenging" 13:38 - "Vlad! What are you doing here? You're not even a lot challenge!" Well, he keeps complaining this game isn't challenging. I guess he found how to make it so 😂

I found your videos through ts4 shorts. Your narrative skill supported by a pleasant intonation and accent is amazing. And the laugh, of course 😂 Absolutely charmed

🤨 "We don't have enough money for a greenhouse." Hmm, there's a giant empty house no one needs ... Maybe add a glass roof? Put the plants inside? Naaah ... 🤨 "Oh, why are her hands black?" Maybe her skin is moldy? Naaah ... But there are mold piles ... eh, lemme just repair all the appliances ... that's so much more *important* Priorities? Never heard of them. Logic & practicality? Oooh, look, the sparlkies! This was painful. No more.

Thank you for this fun video satch

I recently started watching your videos....I love love love the videos.

OMG I love all the chaos! 😂

Fishing and bicycle makes the fun trait go up ☺️

The bring the lighting is from seasons, occurs when a sim is stroked with lighting twice and survives. It only occurs if they are stricken the second time after an hour, twice in an hour will kill them.

Satch you're on fire at the moment, loving the content!

Shanice is the only person allowed to post that “I’m tired of living through historical events” millenial meme

Hey Satch if you’re comfortable with it could you make a video talking about your Buddhism journey? Thanks for always making my day! ❤

Satch: I understand what this black stuff is. Me: it molddddddd, get rid of the mold!

He did everything else but clean the mold 😂😂

Your laugh is the best haha 😂 love your videos

The "every lot challenge challenge" is probably one of the hardest ones I've seen. I watched James Turner do this a while back and it was rough. Good luck, Satch!

The haircut in the middle of the video

I loved this, we need a whole let's play lol

I like to do this with r 2 r , 24 challenge, 1 tile start, haunted house and optional occult baby/100 baby challenge added. I even have one game where I added all jobs/aspirations too. (Obviously I take aging off or use the items which give immortality.) Sometimes I play with Strangerville or Evergreen Harbour and/or making all furniture aswell. xx

This was so chaotic I love it lol 😂

This is so creative 🤣

Love the chaos! 😆

First time watching you from my indonesia vacation!

this is a perfect showcase of my average attempt to play the Sims 4: everything's broken, everyone's miserable, nobody has time to do anything, and I have no idea what's going on ever

love these! 😚😚

The bees and spiders are caused by the Creepy Crawlies lot challenge. Those spiders can bite you and give you a disease which will eventually kill the sim. Usually you have to get the cure from the inhabitants of the Jungle Adventure world, in exchange for bone dust, but I think you can also buy the cure via a computer. Also, it wouldn't be cheating to use the phone as the off-the-grid trait, makes it so that the phones needs power aswell. Edit. the bring the lightning interaction is a pseudo-superpower Sims gets if they get hit by the lightning twice in a row without dying. It's from Seasons.

If you scavenge for parts and build up handiness, there are things you can make unbreakable, also you can eat raw fruits and veggies

This highlights the biggest reason Sims 4 feels lacking: it's easy. This challenge really felt like the old games

Aaagh! Satch! You MUST clean up the mold IMMEDIATELY! It's called toxic for a reason! Also, don't banish the spirits! It only makes things worse for the poor girl!

I am a horrible person because this was WAY too hilarious. Your haircut looks smart.

When learning to paint, my sims paints large canvases, that way they get more skill per painting

OK, so, the off-the grid system works in a bit of a confusing way. EVEN IF an appliance says it is functional off the grid it WILL STILL use power/water if you have a power/water surplus to use. You need to actively TURN OFF utility usage for EACH APPLIANCE to make them not consume water/power that you are generating. This option ONLY appears if you CURRENTLY HAVE a surplus of water/power. It has not been glitched in your let's plays. It has been working as intended, it's just intended to work in a dumb way. Your appliances drain all of the power you generate as soon as you start to generate it, and then you have none again. That's what has been happening.

Hopscotch fills fun super fast ! And no electricity or water needed

Well there is something I wish the Sims didn't include on their games for the first time. Mould. Is it not enough to deal with it in real life?..... Bah. Anyway. Blond hair suits you very well Satch.

The fact he didn't make it a haunted micro house 😂

Omg that was hilarious!!

Amazing! We started with 2 sims and ended with -1.

You can just put a roof over the garden and it will make the plants be "sheltered" and they will grow for any season

you should have made it a haunted house lot

You need to do this again, but with 8 sims. Then you can delegate different tasks and have a fighting chance, lol.

Household of two, 3 deaths. It's a 2 for 3 deal!

I once did this lot challenge with 8 sims.... i nearly cried lmao

You should have turned on bust the dust too xD

The mold sir the mold😭😭😭😭

When you have "off the grid" turned on, the fridge uses electricity. You need to click on the fridge and turn off utilities. I'm not sure if the TV uses electricity when not being used (knowing EA it's a definite possibility).

You should do James Turner’s challenge where you have to do tasks to remove each trait ❤

This video reminds me when I tried the "Utter chaos" mod.. This was fuun XD

I LOVE YOUR LAUGH!!!!!! baHAHHAHAHA

I'm playing my eXtreme 100 Baby Challenge in which I started with all lot challenges activated. It was hard for a while but now, she's released a lot of them for now.

Why is the house so big if there's barely any furniture? Could someone explain?

16:21 I don't think the phones work on an off the grid lot. I read somewhere that if you wanted you sims to stop playing games or using their phone, you switch the lot to off the grid.

7:00 Whenever I start a new save, I always find the closest fishing spot. I don't know if that breaks the rules, but fishing is free..... And I look for all the wild harvestables.

You have to click on the fridge and turn off the power usage. I believe the stove as well.

Yes. They can

this is so funny 🤣

If you get struck by lightning twice something happens, I don't remember what

That ui glitch where you click a lot trait/challenge and it resets the slider on the menu is exactly why simmers think EA is lazy

There’s no way he didn’t know about the mold

Ah so the sims 1 simulator

Why do those sims look so much like me

"How to turn Sims 4 into Rimworld"

I just knew someone would die of mold 💀

Her eyes 😂🤣😂🤣
