- I hardly ever try playing as a sim that lives off the grid, so for today’s video I thought I’d challenge myself!

I start all my rags to riches off the grid. I have no idea why I am so obsessed with it. I think it is probably because I could NEVER do it myself lol.
Like The idea of jungle adventure is fun but in real life I wouldn’t survive 30 minutes
@@stripedsweater520 omg yes!!! My goodness I would totally hurt myself in a jungle.
Yes! I love this, letting them get connected to the grid once they get to a particular amount of money
I think I might do this!
@@vickyanderson2733I like doing a generational game, where the first generation is off the grid and may not generate electricity or leave their home neighbourhood or get a job, and each subsequent generation is allowed to do more and more... until they become disillusioned with modern life and return to the agricultural dream
"I wish there were stalls where we could sell produce and things"
May I introduce the 3 vendor tables available in the catalogue.. not stalls, but they do the same thing. Even on a deserted island, customers will come to a yard sale :)
That's the thing with the game being so bloated over time. If I didn't watch so many videos, I wouldn't know half the things available..
*The order to sell from it: place table, open table inventory, fill it with items, stock table, tend table, start yard sale
@@Daiska_Playscould i use this table to sell paintings my sim made ?
@@gglizzy4651 there's a separate object to sell paintings the same way. I don't remember the name offhand, but it's in city living, and it's a white vertical wall thing. I can't check because I disabled all packs indefinitely, lol
Are those a base game item?
In addition to the laundry being a pain, I hate that dishwashers start after one dish being loaded.
Very wasteful and not environmentally friendly!
Laundry bins, you can have multiple ones to fill up. It's a lifesaver in big households.
With the chicken coop, the Scatter Feed interaction only produces 4 seed piles. If you have more than four chickens, then some of them won't get any food; and doing the individual feed interaction for a chicken costs the same but only feeds one. What I tend to do is two Scatter Feed from the coop back to back - costs 8 simoleons but there's an extra seed pile or so for the next time.
Wait you do laundry every other day? I just do a load on saturdays and that’s it 😅
I just love the "You can just kindly fuck off" at any Sim that comes across your path in any video XD to me it's hilarious
I’ve been binge watching you for a while now, kinda addicted.
Same!
Same!!!❤
same 🤌🏻
Uhum same 🎉
Lol same she just popped up and I feel in love
The way I CACKLED when you said you just realized the Off the Grid section in Build and Buy LMAO GIRLLLLL
I love OTG. I love watching people play it who don't do it very often too. 🤣I am playing a 100-baby challenge OTG. I am 26 babies in.
Omg im doing the same thing! Why is it easier off the grid?
I had started one but my matriarch died after the sixth child was born and only had two girls throughout that experience.
@@riricupcakes2540 Awww bummer. I hope you try it again. It is actually quite challenging but fun.
OTG is one of my favorite ways to play too. I normally combine it with my version of the runaway teen challenge and add in a handful of other lot challenges to make it interesting lol
@@wendyhubble1383 thank you so much, I did and it is even though your sim doesn't listen🙄
Off the grid is a super wonky lot trait, it actually just means that you can't import power/water. If you've got water collectors and generators you can live in a totally normal house. On top of that, with a high enough repair skill you can install fuel cells in basically anything to make it work off the lot.
you can also don't pay bills 🤣🤑 and you can fight if someone comes to steal your things 😈👊💥
Maci saw that she was in a Whiny Brit episode and just automatically queued up some drama 😂.
when gremlins break things, it'll only be fixed by morning if you have the gnomes trait on the lot.
If you buy a yard sale table you can sell all your stuff on it. Sims will show up to your lot.
You're right about the laundry; EA has the tendency to overdo everything. I always wondered how you would say tomato, now I know ;-).
*Talks calmly about laundry while the girl sim's arm is literally on fire.*
"Ah, I love the sound of that fire pit crackling" Cut to sim immediately causing fire. :'D I love your humour!
I love your commentary on the laundry but I feel like that makes it so realistic. Or maybe I'm the only person who needs an entire day to do my laundry because it always takes forever. (especially bc I sort whites, colors, and blacks so usually am doing 3 loads in a day)
Needed something good to watch. I just got out of the icu and am attempting to get back into the sims. This sim is adorable!
Hope your doing ok babes. Stay healthy and strong❤
@@starsaligned8440 thank you so much 🖤 we're trying to find out why I keep having seizures and fainting. One day at a time
Awww gws! Sending lots of hugs, love and prayers 🤲🏽❤️🥹
@@Shaunax20 thank you so much! You don't know how badly I needed that 🖤
Seeing how you’ve set out the house 🏡 makes me consider getting the island living pack
Hey Karla, I'm not sure if you've done this yet, but what if you got that werewolf lady, the cool one with the blue hair, and get her and Caleb, the vampire, to be together. I can't remember if you've done that or not, but if not, I think that would be a good story line since vampires and werewolves are enemies
I'm so glad you decided to do this video. Its inspired me to want to give this type of lifestyle a go with my own sims. Your little quirky comments make you stand out so much from other youtubers that do videos like this. These just give your videos so much uniqueness and I love it. You are one of a kind and your videos are really enjoyable!
ive never been happier to be early lol. ive been binge watching your sims videos ever since i found your channel, your my fav sim content creator by far! love your videos, esp the experiments and scenarios 😌
To really go off grid, adding the dew collectors and then the windmills make the bills lower. Then upgrading the off grid items to run off compostables from the toilet. The bug boxes make fuel to run the items instead of electricity.
Omg! Your so funny I love your videos.
Lmfao nah the commentary on this is so funnyyyyy 😂😂
"laundry takes most of my day" saaame XD
What a weird coincidence, I'm doing an all lot challenge/ isolated/ rags to riches style challenge on that same island. My setup looks quite a lot like yours! I'm also fairly new to off the grid, only did it once before, and I had to learn all this then too. Turns out it's easier than it sounds and surprisingly fun.
Loved your castaway series, might have to do some redecorating, love your setup! There's a private dwelling lot trait that discourages visitors.
I think you should be able to have a stall at the jungle holiday area. Not Sulani, but maybe close enough? Also, you could shower in the waterfall and pee in the water if you want.
Peeing in the water? Ewwwwww no thats so wrong!
@@loptseldr I think she already has done worse to her sims 😂
When you do off the grid on that specific island lot it is easy to have the city pay you each week instead of owing bills. Get a micro home lot with no walls just the foundation. Put the lot traits to geothermal, underground spring, & the original one it came with. Dig for trash before you start fishing as you will find more top dollar trash. I use Ravasheen's Filthy Fabulous - OTG & R2R Set this way you have a cardboard matt to sleep on, off grid fridge, junk table, a bucket shower, a 5 gallon bucket toilets, and I also get her plunger no fire toilet. This helps me start off. I first put up the walls then add a roof. When I add the roof I do it in two pieces. I use one side as the ECO living that generates electrical and the other side as the ECO living green water collection roof texture. These cost you nothing and when you save up you change the cardboard matt to the mattress on crates. This is a level 4 comfort/couch/bed. Save up till you have at least one roof solar power, one roof wind turbine, & one of the scraper water collection from ECO living. Then as you increase the house furniture increase the solar/wind/water up till you have at least 3. When you want to move from a micro home to a tiny home you need to add 5 solar, 4 wind, 5 water collection. Just make sure that the sinks, toilet, & shower or bath you make sure that it says keep this item off utility when you click on the item. I as well even make my bathrooms outside under the eaves of the roof so that it doesn't take up space inside the house's footprint.
In all fairness, I think the off the grid selection in build and buy is a later addition; I think at first they just kind of had it all mushed in with everything else with no filter for it.
I love that all the Sims 3 challenges that brought me so much joy are coming back to the Sims 4. ❤
You have quickly become one of the only people I watch on CZcams never stop
Rags to riches is my favorite way to start a household for me. I'm not really doing the rags to riches challenge. I just like starting a household on a blank lot, no money and only the clothes on their backs. Then I build my way up.
I really like this video. I love your off grid set up. Although I don't care for the other lot challenges. I just like the off-grid part.
10:33 I love the delivery of the word "Cheap" Ha ha! :D "Chape"!
I love the hut. Nicely done
I love being early!! Love your videos!
Watching these videos make me want to play more and more myself.
I'm literally addicted to watching your videos you make me laugh 😂😂
Laundry hampers are essential for not having to do your laundry daily. Also, when you've got a very big family that fills up multiple hampers rather fast, I usually do the following: Take the first hamper and click on "do laundry". Wait until your sim goes to do it, then cancel the interaction. Repeat with all your hampers. After that you should have a stack of laundry from every hamper. Place them on the ground, click on one and select "do laundry" again. Your Sim will then automatically collect all stacks. That way you only need to do laundry once, and not separately for each hamper.
Something I found out about Island Living - this challenge would be easier as a mermaid because they can sleep in any body of water which helps with their hydration need for most of the next day. Also for their social need they can talk to dolphins but I will say...do not allow them to eat fish 🐠 cause they will have the pop up saying 'feels sad over eating friends'
I have thought of something similar to this so thank you for my template and inspo
I do my laundry once a week. That’s all I’m good for. Too lazy to do it every other day. I don’t wear that many clothes! 😂😂😂
Little miss sam has a great mod that makes the laundry autonomous, all you have to do is click the "do laundry" interaction and they'll automatically start the washer aswell as when you add it to the dryer, i often notice though that my sims will do everything laundry related by themselves which is nice
Thank you for this video! ☺🌷
I definitely agree, the laundry is way too tedious. Find my sims clothes pile up so fast
Regarding the washing and people with loads of kids ,
Well I had 5 and my washer was on at least 3 times every day 😂 once a day I’d never get it done
I had five kids, most in several sports, and I did easily 3 loads of laundry a day to keep up, but yeah Sims do more laundry than I ever did.
I used to love doing runaway teen challenges. Come to think of it, I haven't done one since off the grid was a thing. That would make it easier.
I have an idea! Off-the-grid pregnancy! Trying to care for yourself while pregnant then taking care of the baby once it's born
That’s so cute I think I will do a different I would use the circle walls and make a huts
I'm going to try this challenge today xD but I was afraid cause I'm so used to having everything. 😂
GURL I F****** love ur vidsssss
I use to love playing castaway they need to bring it back!
I agree the laundry system is way too complicated! the little wash tub takes way too long, the clothes line is temperamental and it just has too many steps I never end up using it
The grill can start fires?! 😲
I have been extremely lucky if that's true because I make all my sims learn to cook on the grill outside before i dare let them touch an oven in their house coz i'll be damned if they're gonna burn my hours and hours worth of hard work giving them the perfect home. The grill seemed like the only safe option. So now i have a new fear unlocked 🤦♀🤣
I do my laundry once a week. But having small kids, it was once every couple days.
That is why i dont bother with laundry in sims 4. Where do all of the clothes come from when you wear the same thing every day. Idk about you, but i dont change my pjs every day.
You could easily stack the laundry piles into a hamper first. When they get full then you wash them
I like the Off the grid trait but Eco lifestyle kind of ruined it for me. Before you could actually live like a total hermit: no bills, have to grow stuff, etc... now is just like a normal residential lot but with a couple of challenges
Woo shout out Retro Sundays
I live in a house with 6 people with a cay and Hamster... we have 3 loads of Landry a day, and since there is so many people in this one little house, we have to sanction days, so everyone gets 1 day to do their Landry!
they need to make a sims castaway remake
Oooo we can make some tomato sauce 😂❤
heyy, i havent finished watching the vid so idk if this point will be addressed or if ur gonna see this at all, but if you put a roof over crops they are always in season :D
Think I'd like to try do some more off grid stuff
I love putting sims on an island with almost nothing on it and no money and pretending they’re stranded.
Sweet ✌️🌻💙
Isn't OTG the only base game lot challenge? :O
The next video you should do is how many ways can you kill your sim in 1 video!
Need a sims mid evil game play❤
Sims Medieval is a game in existence. One of my favs.
bro i do laundry once a week 😭
To stop people coming onto the lot and effectively walking around your house you could fence it off and change the rules of the gate to "Lock for everyone but household members. you could also do the same for the gate with the chickens, i do that and have had no issues at ll. also i hate the horrid stereotype of foxes in this game. they don't go for chickens unless they are really hungry. because most people feed them no it stops them going to these measures to find food remember we took their environment away so we are responsible for them. plus foxes are sacred, at least for me they are with my religious beliefs and i will defend to my last.
Early af... Heck yeah
She could
Have a dog that be cool lol
I did a plane crash/ island castaway build one time and the game play was... boring, unfortunately lmao. There is only so much story telling to be done all alone on an island.
sick
Living off the grid just reduces the part of the bill that involves power and water. you still need to pay for all the items
How was there a welcome wagon on a deserted island?
Which pack do you need to play this one?
I don't get Sim seasons at all. Like why is Sulani, a tropical place affected by fall and winter??? Crops grow year round in most tropical climates
Is this lot on the gallery? Can’t find it on yours
Ily
Any one know how to build the little "building" she have?
⛔️⛔️Why do we have to buy clothes in CAS from any clothing store??! We don’t have clothing stores in the base game please someone answer me ⛔️⛔️
Now do this with a teen or child
how do you build a lot like that with the "shelter"
Believe they are in build and buy misc; read descriptions as some shelters protect from the elements or provide shade only
@@machellesustaita9693 ive been searching nonstop for that wood thing and i just cant find it :/// anyone has a name for it??
Rustic Rubber Tree Arbor $1000 “a simple eco solution providing weather protection”
Found in decorations/ misc
HIII
I dont pay bills 😈
I get irritated with not being able to use the phone in off the grid lots.. I eventually end up cheating because of it lol I also use Simnation travel by adeepindigo…. 😮💨 adds a whole lot more difficulty to the rags to riches challenge
