james out here doing the Every Challenge Challenge to not go unhinged trying to record for the For Rent LP 😂

You need the acting skill on top of the required skill to pass your audition, James 🤣🤣

Not James joining the ACTING career for a gig and NOT working on his Acting skills whilst hoping to pass an audition with only charisma and handiness skills?! LMAO... this is so James! It's like the buying all the herb seed packets, hoping to find spinach seeds in them all over again! 🤣😂🤣😂

You should give residence keys to all of your baby mamas / daddies / parents so they can stop by whenever for the chaos! Loving this series. edit: James if you read this, the comments below said to also make a club with the parents and set the activities to taking care of babies and cleaning. If that's possible could be nice to invite over some free labor and have a nap every once in a while especially without access to disco naps

I love that as soon as one challenge ends the next one starts. Never ending sim(s)supply 😍

Don't know if it's something you wanna use, but the Acting carreer is good for food ! Every time you're on set, if you take the food on the table in your inventory, you will have free food at home ! Without having to prepare it. And the table at the studio will refill instantly so... it won't bug your career goals, even when they tell you to eat.

I’m loving theses new challenges James is doing but I know deep down he’s avoiding the rent let’s play because of all the bugs and lag 🤣

I think the stay over prolonged the pregnancy because aging doesn't affect pregnancy, whether you have aging set to short, normal, long or off sims will always be pregnant for 3 days after realizing they're pregnant. Also, if there's ever a challenge where the money trash can makes sense it's the ones that have a ton of children and generate a bunch of diapers and bottles

Obsessed with the fact that Bernice has become Semaj's stalker because he befriended her.

Bernice rotting in front of the TV all night and running away from hard conversations is a bit too relatable.... 😂

"I'm a struggeling acttor..." with no actring skill!! James, please!!!!!!! i normaly wait till the end of a video but im crying (laughing). the acting skill is the important one, not the others, plsss make Semaj lern hiw to act xDDDDDDDDD

The fact that laundry is clean & dry after sitting in the rain for 3 days 😂😂😂

I haven't even watched this yet but PLEASE keep doing challenges, you're my favorite person to watch do them. I get so excited when a new one is posted and I save it for the best part of my day to relax. Absolute delight. The ways you narrate your characters is especially amusing to me, and you always inspire me to want to go play.

James: “oh! You’re my new neighbor!😊 WHERES MY FRUITCAKE?!🤬😇” 😂😂😂😂

Since your laundry isn’t alredy a circus, you could consider adding cloth diapers to the mix for some extra fun (chaos).

Up your charisma so you can ask the other parents for loans as child support! Also you should add "become best friends with newborn" to the challenge as early stages of the parenting skill are easy, it starts to slow down around level 5

As a graphic designer, I must say, I love the graphics you created. It's very well done, clear and animated nicely! Great job!

10:43 Super excited for another miniseries! You should have asked Bernice for a loan this way she’s contributing not only to the genetics of the baby, but the finances as well. 💸👶🏻

My mom has humbly suggested the "100 Night Wraith Challenge" for James's next mini series 😂

Laird will pass to history as the worst Big Wallet but also the one who brought us lots of extra and fun content!

Food hack: Take the food from the acting gigs home by packing it all into sack lunches hehe

Loving this era for James

James is quickly becoming one of my favorite sims creators. He never leaves us waiting long and always has some type of idea. Big kudos, especially with how buggy the game is

"Wait, we can search for pockets!" - semaJ 2024, imitating me when I am trying to buy women's clothes

Working on the ACTING skill and not just the audition specific skills will always give you an edge in auditions. I always go to my first audition with at least level 2 acting.

i love the effort james puts on the graphic design on these challenges

u should have to do the social events for every life stage, baby shower, toddler play date, slumber party etc AND birthday parties for all of them

I absolutely adore how crappy the starter house is, it's so accurate lmao

What if instead of having to +2 parenting skill, instead you go on a family outing, like go out to eat or the park etc. It sounds easy-ish right now but as you get more sims it could be chaotic.

i find it funny how task-oriented james is with the baby: is it hungry, does it need its diaper changed? no, it needs some love! i think in sims the babies do also have a need for attention - like infants and toddlers. they just want to be cuddled and bounced sometimes!

The reason Bernice didn’t give birth was because she was not in her household. Sims have to be at their home (or start at home to choose to go the hospital) to give birth, so that is why she was pregnant for her entire stay over visit.

Aging doesn’t affect pregnancy, sims will have babies regardless

I know it's "cheating" but you can use MC command center to check if they're pregnant or not. It just seems like it's going to take you a REALLY long time if you just have to wait and see.

I honestly thought this challenge was going to be just playing with a sim through all the life stages. Which I feel like is a challenge for a lot of sims players

Maybe having the science babies is an added challenge because you have to pay $1,200 each time. and that guarantees you get instant baby and no 72-hour hold. or, make your sim able to become pregnant so you don’t have to add the baby back into your house after birth, and can name them yourself.

This house that James built, looks like starter home from Sims 2 😮❤

"Look, I know we just met, but I think we could have pretty beautiful babies together..." Boy, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that line 😂😂😂

Maybe you can do a wheel spin for a random challenge if you want to remove a Disliked activity (like Handiness!!) or some other change? We do love when you spin that wheel. 😂

LOVING the continuation of James' inventing challenges era!

An easy money-making tip: (you may or may not know) is when you see a celebrate ask for an autograph then get it apprised. It will go from the $50 to a few hundred depending on the celebs level, then wait several days holding onto it and it will double in value. It is not a get rich quick thing, but it something easy to do for a few extra Simoleans and since you always see celebrities out in the world might as well make use of it.

LOOOL Bernice being a stage 5 clinger

Is that Katrina? KATRINA!! That always cracks me up 😅😅😅

Total backstory for Bernice in my head - pregnant and married but unhappy 'cause baby daddy's a jerk so left to stay at Semaj's for a few days. Then went home, thinking things will be better at home after having had the baby, baby daddy's still an a$$hole so she left the baby with him and wants to be with Semaj where he was friendly to her and cloudgazed with her. Hah.

I would love to see Super Sim back somewhere in the future too :)

If you click open on the stay over guests suitcases they actually have stuff inside including a sleeping bag.

You can check for a baby with MCCC under the Pregnancy module! Excited for this mini-series ☺

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so some how some way you gotta keep Bernice in this LP/challenge as the crazy baby momma (drama)🎭. Because she’s clearly stuck on him and she’s not going anywhere lmao 🤣

11:46 the female population agrees lets search for pockets ours seem to have gone missing😅

I thought it was going to be a house of 8 - baby, infant, toddler, child, teen, y adult, adult, and senior - and you could only age the generations up as the old ones drop off... 😂😂😂 Mine is a little more morbid than yours 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Maybe give Semaj the ability to get pregnant? So you can avoid the problems of not knowing whether the other sim is pregnant and needing to add the babies into Semaj's household after they're born. Plus the added chaos of Semaj dealing with pregnancy would be so entertaining Alternatively, you could make every baby a science baby in order to avoid those issues, and also eliminate the need to wait 3 days for a pregnancy

It always gets more chaotic as we go, no matter what James, this is just how your LPs and challenges go LOL

Loving these shorter challenge based series! Having so much fun.

With the amount of diapers this house is about to create, you should definitely get a home lot dumpster and dive for deals. Maybe make one of your sims the assigned dumpster diver. Or make the kids do it for the chaos.

49:39 "its not personal, its just a challenge" LMAO imagine someone breaking up with you using THAT

Gotta have Baby #3 with the hair and make-up guy. He wanted to see a mash-up of himself and Semaj so bad.

Yay! Let’s Go! I can’t wait for the 1st Wheel Spin!!!

I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been loving these challenges so much that I don’t want to watch this one yet because I don’t want it to end. Much respect to you James Turner.

i think it might enhance your chances to succeed at the audition if you raise the acting skill a bit more (along with the other required skills) and also brush your teeth beforehand just to get the confident moodlet!

28:45 LittleMissSam has a mod that allows you to customize your helmet, or go helmet-less so you can really make riding through walls and down stairs more exciting 😂

This is very quickly going to descend into chaos and I’m here for it.

I actually find the acting career much more fun because of the fails. Makes it more challenging since that’s what James is trying to do anyway lol

We’re spoiled for content these days! Thanks for all your hard work, James. These mini series have been some of my favorite videos

I've just clicked the video and it put a smile on my face already. Thank you for all your content and making my days brighter with them 😄

Not me yelling at the screen to remind James that he needs to level up his acting skill ALONG with his required skills to pass the auditions 😂

I wouldn't say yes to everything when you don't want to double traits. Eventually with saying yes to everything your going end up doubling traits. It does add a lot of chaos.

I was waiting for this video ! I can't wait to see more of it ! Thank you for using my idea !!! I'm pretty sure that ageing doesn't impact pregnancies in game ;) but the born babies will remain babies forever with ageing off. Bernice baby couldn't be born as she was a stay over guest (but Mei Prescott had hers since she wasn't pregnant anymore when you met her and she's normally pregnant at the start of the save) To check, without mods, if a sims if pregnant you can go to CAS, pregnant sims can't be edited (like with all the sliders)

EA should just hire you to write scenarios

you can check if sims are pregnant w mc command center! also, the parenting skill boosts faster when you take care of newborns!

Sims will still autonomously give birth with aging turned off, the newborns just won't age up into infants. However Sims can't give birth unless they are on their own home lot. As long as Bernice was at your house (or just out in the world) the baby was stuck inside her. Also, I think if Semaj wants to have babies the old-fashioned way, the easiest way to do it is for Semaj to be the one carrying the babies.

Aging off doesn't affect a Sim having their baby. Their babies will still be born with aging off.

So Bernice came to your house pregnant, you sent her home, she invited you to a date (to the hospital?) and came back not pregnant anymore 😂 all in less than 2 hours

Maybe change Semaj to be able to get pregnant, so he can give birth to his own babies rather than having to wait for Baby Mama’s to give birth outside the home?

Don’t forget to steal food from the sets to feed your multitude of children!

Ageing does not need to be on in order for pregnancy to progress. Pregnancy always lasts 3 days, and pregnant sims actually don't age while they're pregnant (to prevent adult sims aging up to elders while pregnant). I think the +2 parenting skill per baby is fair because the gap between skill points gets bigger for each skill point. Maybe the skill threshold should be number of babies +1 for the second baby, you need parenting level 3 for the third baby you need parenting level 4 for the fourth baby you need parenting level 5 ect for the 7th baby you need parenting level 8

I’m loving these mini series

Semajs face when James paused at 9:55 👹

Being in a Confident mood helps A LOT with succeeding with auditions. I always make my sims "brush teeth" and "psych self up" just before auditioning

Loving the mini LPs lately and loving this one so far

Love the challenges! Make sure you get your acting skill up for the gigs ☺️

it could be fun to add adopting as another challenge. like you have to adopt once, but you can only do so if you have a certain amount of money, pay more, have an extra room for them fully equipped etc. romancing people might get boring lol

Please have a science baby with Agatha Crumplebottom

When this is done, we should bring back Super Sim!! 🎉

Not James forgetting he needs the acting skill to become an actor.

Move the baby parent in temporarily while they are pregnant or while you're preggers. Take $500 - $1000.00 from them in child support when they move in so that you can buy baby stuff. Move them out once the baby comes.

I love the vanillaness of this Let's Play! 🎉 No one handles the heavy juggling of total chaos better than James.

You can go on dates in your house, you don't have to go anywhere if you don't want to.

We’re all collectively yelling at our screens “YOU DON’T HAVE THE ACTING SKILL” 😂😂😂

Bernice is so obsessed with him. LOL😂😂😂

Is the starter house on the Gallery? I love the run-down vibe!

As soon as I see the house: Well we are in our Fallout stage! 😂

starting your challenge now! so excited, thank you for helping me find something to keep sims not so boring!

Perfect timing, was just looking for something to watch ❤️

I’m so excited for this LP! Your challenges NEVER fail

James yelling "KATRINA!!!" brings me great joy. It's comforting to know that in an ever changing world, some things will always stay the same. xD

Woop let’s goo🙌 love these short challenge series of yours! I wanna try this one😊 How about making the challenge harder, and not be allowed to remove any walls, when you add to the house? You can add all the walls you want, but not remove old ones😊

with this video, you've convinced me to buy a membership :D

It would be nice to see a gallery wall for this family! all kids cute photos ;)

Yessssss new challenges!!!❤

This is gonna be exciting

I’ve been watching your seasons let’s play recently after your last member reaction video, and I have to say your editing and cutting has gotten immaculate! Love all your videos
