"Why is my Sim's life like this?" asks the reason why the Sim's life is like this

A vampire, ghost, Santa, and 2 Nannies walk into a Witch’s haunted house.

I'm going to miss Possessed Toilet Fox, not gonna lie

pleaseeeee can we have a renovation of this house once the challenge is over!!!!

Once you get a Salmon, you can build a pond on your lot and stock it with just Salmon in order to get as many as you need.

James: “what a weird place for a food stall”… with the grilled cheese stand across the street, hahaha

Personally, I think it’s adorable that the nanny pretended to be Santa Clause so they babies got gifts

Petition for James to renovate the house *before* he builds a pool. So Semaj gotta make money from his grilled cheese business to earn all new furniture

Not Guidry being turned down by the nanny 😭😂😂

17:58 Oh how I've missed the "Hey, Patchy!" Cottage Living was my first introduction to the Bigwallets, so that is a core memory for me.

Completing that part of the Grilled Cheese aspiration before drowning an enemy in the pool might be a good idea, since you have to talk to Grim about grilled cheese in the next part

About the multiple nannies: I had two for the longest time in a LP, then when I dismissed one, the next day like twelve showed up.

Mollie (EnglishSimmer) did the lift the curse of the night wraith and explained it on her channel. Every time you overload you get a curse from a pool of three - night wraith being one of them - which is also the max number of curses you can get. So all you have to do is overload a max of 3 times (wait until the moodlet is gone in between - don't die!) and you will get it.

Finish your grilled cheese aspiration, so you can pull grilled cheese out of thin air for your side gig. BIG MONEY.

15:35 weak, strong and ancient bloodline is traits based on how many generations of spellcasters that sim have had in their family!

I feel like instead of adding back a challenge, 'renovate house' could be on the wheel. Like removing the cracks, repainting, cleaning up, ect. Could still be a challenge cause it'd cost a bit to make it nice, but would feel better than undoing the hard work already put in.

Just in time too eat my food , absolutely 10/10 Sunday

The fact that the talking toilet told the fox to "shh" is throwing me for a loop LOL

21:41 Word of warning to anyone doing this challenge along with James (aka me) if you continue making your sim do an activity they dislike they can get enraged and die from a cardiac explosion 😅 long story short the enemy I was drowning in the pool I had added to my household and it popped up saying does he dislike swimming so I said yes (I’m evil) and he actually died from anger before he drowned!!

The shot of Semaj on the bench staring at his house as snow falls feels like a the Christmas fireplace thing lol. Very pretty

Those poor toddlers are going to age up with never having had a toy or toddler potty and a dad who ignores them.

I got distracted because I was watching while making lunch. Suddenly I look over and Semaj is a ghost 😅 and I’m like, “I looked away for ten seconds! How did he die!?!?” Then Semaj turns back into a human. Crisis averted. 💀

5:57 You can buy crystals and metals through the computer now, too!! You don't have one... but you could 😆

“I could go for a hot coco right now and a chocolate chip cookie” me pausing and getting that lol

13:35 "oh! Nice present, kid" (Immediately sells it and laughs) That was evil lol

Aw, I liked the cursed demon fox. Bummer :(

It’s so funny, we met a guy on the street, he moved in, we had children, he spent the last of his days with us and now we try to bring him back to life. I mean, for him we must be everything… and Semaj is only completing his challenges with him 😂😂😂

"I feel like the toilet is hexing this fox and I don't like it." That's the kind of comment you'd only hear from a Sims player. Just imagine quoting that to someone with no context. 😂

Im watching this like a TV series lol, thank you James. Honestly puts a smile on my face.

Goodbye PoTaTo Fox - Possessed Talking Toilet Fox 😢 17:31 "Lemme get my gonk out!" Excuse me? Your WHAT?? 😂

Fully agree 😅 renovation!!!!! You should be able to find pufferfish at the karaoke bars , it switches between Japanese and Chinese daily 🥰

I love watching the challenges, so I set one for myself. Living in a lot with off the grid, as a spell caster, and the only way I can make money is from nectar and potions... I found potions don't sell for too much, but it makes for a rather good challenge while waiting for nectar to age. As much as I like the spell caster, I have never really played as one and James has shown me how good it is!

"Oh, I got a Gonk! Let's go!! Sorry... Let's Gonk!!!" Iconic

May I suggest : use a potion that make Sims gain skill faster to gain rocket science and handiness skill.

You should add maintenance troubles now that you're on a residental lot!

I’ve been waiting for Semaj to become friend with the creepy fox that goes crazy in the bathroom all the time, haha.

If you bind a familiar and leave it out, it'll give you items for potions regularly 😊

I'll be sad once this series ends. It's so much fun!

Thank god now i don't have to scroll through netflix for an hour to find something to watch as i eat

There are a couple of places in game to buy fish, one in Brindleton Bay and there's one in the new world that came with the For Rent pack.

I am addicted to this series!!!! ❤

I’m pretty sure you did hire two nannys.. one was just the regular ‘one day’ nanny, and the other was the reoccurring nanny. but neither want to leave. lol they’re committed to the children bc they know their parent doesnt want them 😂

i had a dream the demon fox was named "soulless gem" and james added it to the household so it would get taken away.

trouble, trouble, toil and bubble, Bonehilda will be my friend, on the double!

Wooooooo, more challenges gone!! Loved seeing you use the potion of forced friendship, I've never played with potions all that much. So excited for the next episode!! Grind that cheese aspiration :}

I'm doing the super sim challenge and one of the spells you leaned I just realized would come in SUPER handy for my garden. My gardener WILL NOT take care of my garden properly anymore and that gave me a great idea. Thanks James!

“Lemme get my gonk out” bro 😭😅

Lmao! The fox is the funniest thing to me. I love glitches like that, makes me laugh every time. 😅😂

Also, none of the Spellcaster bloodline traits work, they've not bothered fixing them, even though they know and last I heard, have no plans to fix or remove them.

Highly recommend using one of the familiars Semaj got in the mail and keeping it active! My sim had to overcharge several times to get finally get cursed with the night wraith and more than once that killed her but the familiar scared away the grim reaper saving her (and my challenge)!

I think your next shirt needs to be a T-shirt with a wheel of all the challenges and a picture of you saying “spin that WHEEEELLLLLLL” 😊

For the Salmon, Go to Sulani town on a Saturaday afternoon! The fish festival is on every Sat @ 12, and the stand sells every fish 💁‍♀️

I love this challenge! Hopefully those bottles of nectar sell well- should help with the pool and rocket 😆

Having to fully reno the place to get a pool is a really cool idea! (Kind of a houseflipper vibe rather than just 'hey i got a pool now isnt that neat')

I think you should adopt the befriended animal just like you're "raising" the twins, have to buy rocket, build pool etc. Also so sad it's not the Posessed Toilet Fox, he could be a suiting familiar for Samaj 😆

This has been my fav sims series. Honestly look forward to every episode like is a TV show I'm hooked on 🎉

I'm surprised James uploaded this so much later than normal, but I'm so happy 😊

Try Glimmerbrook, you can fish behind the HQ, and buy the baconite at the stalls.

I have been enjoying this mini series. I think I like have a list of goals to accomplish, makes me want to see Semaj start off a not so berry challenge. Even if it's shortened to the first 3 generations or something.

You can buy fish from market vendors in Brindleton Bay and Sulani, by the coast there are fish stalls.

Yay another episode. I’ve been just watching the other Bigwallet series.

LET'S (GHOST)

you can buy fish at the fish market in Tomarang.

A good way to get the puffer fish is the Romance Festival--they sell them in the stalls there, Also the Yellow and Rusted cauldron would get you knowledge faster, it is in the corner all by itself.

BEST timing ever! Just sat down to relax a bit and got the notification😃

This suggestion is for a future Every Lot Challenge. Requirements: starting off on an empty lot with 0 for money. End Goals: every lot challenge removed and a fully furnished house. Make it so your sim has to earn money in order to remove lot challenges. You would set the amounts you have to earn, in order to remove challenges. For example, if your sim earns 10,0000 and that was one of amounts you chose, then you would get to spin the wheel, and see which one gets removed. If you wanted to, you could set the lot type to haunted residential, and your sim has to earn 1 million in order to remove it. Now another wheel would determine what 2 ways you would get to make money, and this would be spun at the beginning of each episode, as those would change each episode. One episode it might be part-time job and candle making, and another one might be yoga classes and knitting. As for the markup on the selling tables and the street art gallery, maybe cycle through the amounts, and when it gets to 300%, you cycle back through the amounts. Split up the cooking on the wheel, so you have selling cooking skill food levels 1-5, selling cooking skill food levels 6-10, selling baking skill food only, and selling only gourmet cooking skill foods, as well as, foods from the waffle maker, popcorn maker, ice cream machine, etc. Maybe let fishing be the one thing your sim can always do and keep any fish (trout, walleye, perch, bass, etc.), that can be eaten in real life, for food and the fridge once your sim has one. Also, if your sim gets the violin and/or dj booth, keep them, if you put them on the wheel. You could also have your sim collect produce that’s around in the worlds for food and for the fridge. You may want to build a community center for this as it may prove useful as well as having a bookcase, and remember the lunch box item that came in a base game update from last year. If you had a random lot trait generator, then the 3 lot traits could change for your sim in game every Sunday at midnight. Some might be useful and some might not be. As for the lot challenge wheel, maybe have spots that just say Whammy, and you have spin a whammy wheel. Maybe nothing gets removed on the whammy wheel, so you can keep using them over and over throughout the challenge.

Since you are now on the grid, you should sell all the solar grids

Oh hey Patchy 👋 😂 Bringing back memories from Seasons lp!

Binding your familiar gives bonus prizes almost hourly when summoned

Omg the patchy shirt is soooo cute 😭

YES been waiting for this the entire day 🥰🥰🥰🥰

No! I was living for the cursed fox!

spellcasters get a boost to the medium skill, add in the specter buff and that's why your medium skill went up so fast DONT KILL SANTA WUT i've noticed the spellcaster vendors are random. i remember being excited at first, thinking i could find more spellcasters out in the world, but then i realized eliza pancakes can be a vendor :\ it varies between games - i've seen panya yi, kyle kyleson, knox greenburg, and a few others whose names i cant be bothered to remember lol i have a mod that makes my familiar give me potion ingredients all the time. easy way to get things like death flower and dragon fruit. baconite and salmon are very common XD there are three ranks of bloodline for spellcasters: weak, strong, and ancient. each rank gives more exp, an extra talent (or perk) point, and lessens the chance of overloading when building charge. if you start with a spellcaster sim from cas, you have no bloodline, but your children will gain the weak bloodline. if your children manifest as spellcasters (and dont take the rite of dissolution) and eventually have kids, those kids will gain a strong bloodline, and if those kids are spellcasters who have kids they will get the ancient bloodline. honestly it's a little confusing cuz the game's genetics only care about the parent with the stronger bloodline. so if you have a weak bloodline sim who has kids with a non-spellcaster sim, their kids will get the strong bloodline. basically as long as you have a sim with one of the bloodlines who is ALSO a spellcaster, you'll get a stronger bloodline. a sim with the bloodline who is NOT a spellcaster will get a weaker bloodline. hopefully that made sense to someone rofl. i am currently doing this challenge with a spellcaster who had to have a science baby with vlad (my wheel loves to make my sim have kids with vlad, i have to have two more with him soon o.o) and he had twins - one is a spellcaster and one is a vampire. they BOTH have the weak bloodline, but unless my vampire kid has a kid with another spellcaster, the grandkids wont get any version of the bloodline. honestly i would lock that bathroom door so the cursed fox wont get in anymore o.O (oh nvm you got rid of that lol) please lock your wine up, i had a wine bottle stolen once after having people in my house; seeing all those bottles just sitting on the counter makes me nervous lol sometimes after you bottle up your potions there's still stuff left in the cauldron. not sure why that happens, but all you can do is discard it. i always have my sims learn the pufferfish nigiri recipe from the romance festival, but lilsimsie demonstrated in a video how you could place the market stall for the pufferfish on your lot and buy it from there, too. i say use the rocket at geekcon to help level the rocketship skill only; dont bother upgrading it, it takes way too long. build your own rocket on your lot and upgrade that instead. still a little salty that i cant befriend the talking toilets. i even placed one in another save file and that sim cant make friends with it either. i dont know what's going on, but i feel like im missing something very basic.

You can use the repairio spell on potions to increase the quality.

The new stuff pack is getting ready to come out. You can grind making jewelry until you can get to the forgotten grotto since it was in the trailer. lol.

Now then the Crystal pack came out maybe you can use your Rags to Rental serie to make Laird became a jewelry seller instead. She tried the rental business and decided that was not for her and become a jewelry maker instead..

My fave challenge ever! How I first discovered your channel

You need a “Let’s Go!” T-shirt with your face on it for merch. 😂

let me get my gonk out, lets gonk

Takes off haunted house trait and then immediately adds a ghost to the household🥴 But not a haunted house😂

The bloodline has three levels I believe, weak, moderate and strong. The strength depends on how many previous generations were spellcasters.

I’m loving this series, thank you!

I believe the game sometimes sends two nannies if you have twins.

Watching this LP convinced me to go back and rewatch my favourite LP of all time, rags to redevelopment 😅 so in-between episodes of this, that's what I've been binge watching.

I'm loving this series so much, but you could add to the wheel to remove all of the bad traits that you've had to had to say yes through throughout the series and add another challenge like renovating the house! Poor Semaj is always nauseous!

Panya Li turning up again really made me laugh

I might have to get that Patchy shirt. I love my SLEEPIN'! shirt; it's soft & comfy!

Love the merch! Already ordered one of both! 🥳

He mentioned at the end that someone suggested using the rocket at Geek Con. He could use it to eat his grilled cheese in space for his aspiration, but to get to Sixam you need the wormhole generator upgrade. That upgrade needs level 10 rocket science skill, plus it takes takes time to install the upgrade. The Geek Con rocket comes pre-built, but not upgraded. He'll need to buy a rocket at home for the Sixam part.

perfect timing, just started my lunch break 😂

omg this is perfect timing, just as I got my supper!!

I love this series! I can't wait for each episode.

love the music in the intro. Great energy

Patchyyyy yessss! The shirts are back!!! These are definitely fun and look very nice!! I really need to finish the spellcaster stuff with my magic sim, it's just so fun! Though right now with school it's a lot.

I did this challenge on the weekend and I got the curse of the night wrath after drinking too many potions. I think it was 3 of the forced friendship potions in quick succession. My batch quality was normal, but they wouldn’t work. So my sim drank until it did

This household is wild. Let's sum things up: -Semaj is a friend with a maid skeleton and with a medieval spirit -lived in a haunted house, -lives with the ghost of the man with whom he is best friends, and got science twins with him -During all this time, he obsessively talks about grilled cheese - dreams of going to another planet -while having woo hoo on his way there -and going to an unknown cave -as well as drowning the enemy. You go Semaj! Support Semaj And lets make and torture James to do Part 2 with OUR own list lol 👇

loving this series

This series feeds my soul

Medium skill levels quickly for Spellcasters because they get a “natural talent” moodlet.

you should add an option on the wheel to repair/upgrade the house (remove cracks, etc)
