Stanley honestly deserves this. He has led a hard life

I always use the clubs for my 100 baby challenge. She meets the new dads through The Baby Daddies, and once they've contributed to a baby, they go into Raise Yo' Kidz. The activities for that group are cleaning and repairing, so the dads all come over and take care of the house, and actually spend some time talking to their crotch fruit (once said crotch fruit is allowed out of the toddler prison, of course). Groups are really game changers!

nobody: simsie: is running a painting sweatshop and claiming the art as your own more or less ethical than being a landlord?

I realize this isn't a money-making scheme, but I created a painting club that met at the museum in Willow Creek. I then used all the paintings to hang up in the museum, which made it the nicest museum in the game!

The reason Lou doesn't paint is that, even though he's an Art Lover, he dislikes painting as an activity. So basically, he just wants to look at art. Well, he's also a Kleptomaniac, so look at and steal art.

Simsie: *talks about putting kids in a basement to paint* "when you say it like that it sounds kinda bad" Also Simsie: "But it made good money."

lilsimsie has done so many things in the sims that at this point she's even making a cult just for money-making purposes and I love that

Kayla building an entire house while a random Mark just sleeps in Stanley's bed made me laugh. Imagine the shock of going to sleep "outside" and waking up indoors 😂

This is definitely one of the nicest houses that Stanley has ever had.

simsie: "maybe the club shouldn't have kids" me: yeah, makes sense, child labor sucks... simsie: "they would be USELESS" me: ... oh

I do this with my farm animals in my families bc im lazy and dont wanna keep checking on it. I just start a gathering every day, and it takes care of my pets 10/10 reccomend.

Stanley is slowly turning into Jim Pickens 😂

The club perk “rally the troops” raises all club members needs except for hygiene and there’s no cooldown.

Stanley is entering his Gilderoy Lockhart era

Even though Stanley is selling the paintings it will always say who the actual artist is. So the award nominations and fame are on the committees that decide fame and nominations. Stanley is simply a famous artist who runs an elite club that "teaches" budding artists. The revenue from their paintings is the club fees. He feeds them and provides a restroom so I think it's completely morally ok!

this is literally like the art crawl episode of bob's burgers where louise forces the twins to make art for her to sell

Ive used the Get Together club mechanic to set up chores for the family. Care for the plants, go feed and talk to the animals from Cottage Living, clean the house, etc etc. its so handy and abusable when you need the sims to actually do stuff, but you dont want to micromanage multiple sims at once. (Or deal with them cancelling a task because they want to go troll the forums or get a glass of water.) Honestly, i rank it up there as one of the best packs for the sims 4 just from sheer utility alone.

Ah, the Jim Pickens painting cult method of get rich quick. Classic.

it’s more ethical because at least they enjoy painting and get to go home to an actual house and not a bed under a roof on the beach😂

I love how Kayla calls everyone Buddy

This is pretty much the meta for the No Skills No Problem challenge 😂 I call it the "Totally Legitimate Art School" technique 👌

At this point Stanley should be added as a townie

2:49 "I feel like a dirty dirty cheater" while money is at 666 🤣

Stanley's coming for Jim Pickens' gig

poor stan man deserved this. he has had a long, hard, working life. i would love to see more things like this. love you Kayla xx

I see we're trying the Painting Cult today! You been hanging out with CallMeKevin? Edit: I noticed the townie from City Living, Diego Lobo in the cult. I had my legacy founder marry him and he's now cursed almost five generations with a weird tiny mouth.

Ok hear me out- Patchy the scarecrow, birds, and rabbits together would automatically do all of the gardening. All Stanley would need to do is harvest and replant!

Of all the Stanley videos I'm expecting this to be the wildest

The fact that this is pretty much how huge artist's workshops worked a couple hundred years ago lol

You could’ve called this challenge “Can I get rich from plagiarism?” 😂

Ah the classic art farm. The Clubs make it so easy. (I always have an art farming club.) I once trapped the whole Club in an area where I gave them everything to live. Because of the way I had set up the Club, they all loved to paint and just kept doing it even after the meeting ended.

Always looking forward to Stanley content. The world's favourite hotdog

Those sims will probably have trust issues now 💀

I've talked about this a few times before and I'm sure more people will always be informed the more I mention it, but in addition to dumpster diving, it can be even better to also become a spellcaster or create one in CAS and have them learn Practical Magic until they learn the Repairio spell, which will happen quickly if not immediately. It will let you restore burned furniture found in dumpsters to their original states and repair broken items from dumpsters. You don't need to rely on the Magic Realm sages to teach you spells either. Just practicing a school of magic (Practical in this case of course) will self-teach your sims spells. You will later learn the Copypasto spell, which lets you duplicate items, and that can also be great for making money... provided that you're ready for when spells backfire, which can actually start fires. Some spellcaster traits greatly lessen backfires though. Oh, and if you're not familiar with spellcasting or haven't played as a spellcaster in a long time, do remember to be watchful of the charge meter on your motives menu. If it fills, your sim might very well die. You can learn a spell through rank-ups that drops your charge meter to zero and there is at least one other spellcaster trait that reduces the charge cost for spells. Spellcaster clubs can be dangerous for sims however because while sims in a club can be instructed to autonomously cast spells, not only will they often cause fires (because Infernio isn't dangerous, is it? looool), but they may be unable to keep themselves from overcharging and possibly dying.

ah yes the classic jim pickens method. we love the painting cult

I see kayla has taken a page out of Kevin’s book.

Stanley has always been a hustler

Watching simsie discover what callmekevin does regularly in his sims game lol

This is why I love the club system so much. You can make Sims outside your household do so much stuff

Simsie x Call Me Kevin: the collab that we didn't know we needed until now

This is genius. Also, for my werewolves, the fix objects club would be great after every full moon.

You could have put out a grill and picnic table. The club members could have a chance of cooking the meals as well. This challenge is nice. You could build your own cult. Put beds/shower/etc for members with many tiny houses.

lol I love Stanley showering right next to mark sleeping

Chickens might be bad by itself but if u have a golden chicken and then pair it with gardening you can make a ton of money depending on what you garden

I used this group thing when I felt overwhelmed by my garden 😂

the house turned out so cute! you should totally try to do more japanese-style builds

i dont know if this has been suggested a lot or not but its possible to do a potential rags to riches with dolphins from island living! you're able to get them to "fetch" items for you and i've gotten some pretty expensive stuff from them before like excellent quality pomegranates and random items that are sometimes worth quite a lot of money :))

I like to make clubs for cleaning and gardening… it’s awesome, they just work for me

I could watch a series of Stanley living the high life off of painting club funds 🥰 he deserves it!

With high school years pack you can make and sell outfits worth like $1,000,000 (that’s as far as I’ve tested). If you have high entrepreneur skill it’s a good way to make money really quickly.

Jim Pickens did this but locked the people in his basement.

Ah yes, the Madarame method. 😂 When the playstyle is exactly what one of the arcs/bossfights in another game you play is about. It has to be unethical if JRPG protagonists would fight you over it .

Here's an iinteresting one: appraising artefacts. I had Sim max out both Jungle Adventure aspirations. He ended up with the reward trait that other Sims would send artifacts for him to inspect and value. Once you did and returned it he was getting typically 2,000-4,000 simoleons per appraisal. It's quite a lucrative money source but takes effort.

Who agrees Stanley should have his own series?

Lol Stanley is like the Tom Sawyer of hot dogs!

I love getting high and watching you and playing the sims, best thing ever. I love your videos and your ideas, best sims content creator ever

Oh no, is Kayak entering her CallmeKevin era of evil?

An advantage with a painting club : Your Sim don't need to pay for the blank canvas nor the paint used. That mean more money when selling. Yes, your Sim can and WILL get fame for selling the work of others. There is a mod that can increase the maximum number of members in a club. Have a normal club and increase it's membership to 8. Add the mod. Now, true social interaction, you can invite more Sims to join the club. There are 10, 20, 40 and unlimited versions.

Love this idea. But also low key, this could be a really neat storyline where you and your club work to make money to advance the club and grow to something cool and bigger. Famous even. Go from a club no one cares for into one that is well known and admired. I'm definately gonna try it out lol

simsie could have locked the door and just put a bathroom outside for the other sims to be able to access. no one would try to steal stanley's bed

you should do a video ranking the "get rich quick schemes" on a tier list!!!

i really think you should do a get rich quick with the decor box!! i always use it when i need extra money:))

Morally, I would expect no less from Stanley 😂

stanley is a millionare at this point, from doing all these getting rich things

"Those who can't, teach" taken to a whole new level. I am absolutely building an in home art class after this.

7 mins 49 : "You're in MY bed?!?" Goldilocks and the 3 bears vibes ✨️

i loved when simsie gaslighted us by saying stanley painted the clown paint

Oh-my-god I can't even begin to describe how much fun this video added into my day. Lilsimsie you are a genioussssss. I love this chaotic Stanley's content 💜💜💜💜

Imagine if the clown painting summoned the clown but the one from Amazing World of Gumball so wherever you go he’s somewhere in the background staring at you

Please upload to the gallery if you saved your game! This my favorite sims house I've ever seen!

Shoutout to Hope for the good captions! :)

The art world is like this, having a leader with the vision and tons of people do the work.

I love u sooo much kayla💕 you got me into sims 4 again and for that I'm very grateful because it truly is a very fun game so thank you!

i literally refresh my feed as soon as it hits 3 and go to your channel and then keep refreshing just for the videos to not show up till 3:02 😭

to answer your question, yes i think this is morally worse than the landlord episode because it's so much more effective. you don't make much from being a landlord in the sims, but stanley is gaining fame, money, and possibly awards? that does not mean im not enjoying this - i am thoroughly enjoying stanley being the jeff bezos of painting!

Gosh these always make my day better

I think this is morally better than the land lord episode, I like to imagine that part of the money goes to the painter in the group, but Stanly taking credit and getting awards is iffy, but that's sims 4 game logic, it wouldn't award the painter just Stanly as he sold it so eh

i love falling asleep to rags to riches but sometimes i get too invested and i can't fall asleep😂

I used the club system to make the "Bro Hoes," which my vampire celebrity sim is the leader of. It's a flirty club of sims with the Bro trait. Club activities include Bro things like watching sports and mixology, but also woohoo and flirting with each other 😆 Not to mention, it's no problem my vampire sim has the trait where she must ask for a drink and feels guilty compelling, because they love each other so much they always say yes!

I love Simsie Stanley videos!!

I have been doing this same thing for ages! It's so devious and yet so clever

I like how kayla dressed stanley this way, he looks like a hot dog all the time! That's so funny. I didn't know one could do a roof out of nowhere without nothing below. 😲

you should do this but with a cooking club, it would be so fun and chaotic😂

Name your painting club "The Bob Ross Fan Club" This would also be a great way to collect some art to decorate with.

I appreciate these videos because I learn more about gameplay that I didn’t know.

This is like the nicest house Stanley has had!

this really insipred me to play more with the club feature for not only storytelling! planning on starting a new save now!

On the moral question, Simsie, I don't think sims care when you sell their paintings. They never add the paintings to their inventories, even when they paint them at museums and other random easels, at public and private places alike. lol

I would love to see you rank all the ways you’ve tried to do rags to riches best to worst, most lucrative to least etc!

11:41 I’m pretty sure that’s a painting Bob Ross does in his show, Mark must have been watching it 😂

I'm doing a 10 generations run slowly but surely and the first mom loves art so she kept painting on her own (should have made her an aspiration painting but she's successful lineage lol) and one of her sons ended up being an artist as well so both kept painting and painting so I kept adding easels until everyone in the house started painting and now one of my sims baby mama comes to visit just to paint LOL. but this clubs thing is a game changer.

Add grilling, cleaning up, and sleeping to your club goals. Give them a tent, grill, the Jungle adventure portapotties so they never break your bathroom and can shower, and an eco living dumpster. Let them go and they'll manage their own needs while you get money from dumpster diving at the same time. I finished the $1 million challenge in under two Sim weeks and the club Sims didn't get upset at all.

I do this in my sims game and i make almost 30,000 dollars everyday and i have 3 clubs i have had them fo two sims weeks and they all make masterpieces, i make them stay all night and day. I have a public bathroom and sometimes order a pizza and give it to them, i make them stay in the basement and just reap the benefits of others work. I have 8 sims and only one income, its really difficult i need to make money somehow dont judge me! (also the fugure paintings sell for about 900 dollars when the sims get good enough and are masterpieces that sell for 3,000 sometimes)

Simsie should make like a camp almost where there’s rooms and mini houses for them to stay in and work endlessly with an interesting get rich quick scheme in the “courtyard”

okay the landlord video might seem more morally okay because we're used to being scammed by landlords but this gives artist friends coming together to help stanley out of homelessness and thats pretty acurate

Build idea what if you role a random number for every step of the house (wallpaper, beds, rugs etc)

These are my absolute favorite videos! I always want Stanley to have a nice house.

This is BRILLIANT for my legacy challenge! Painting classes!

Lol I've done this, I usually build cells tho with a bed toilet sink and easle so they wont be too uncomfy to paint, and also so they can't leave or raid my fridge, I bring them food too, so they never have to leave 😈

Now do this again, but rather than sell personally, set them up for sale in a store with a markup. 😂
