when i come home from university for the summer i am absolutely DREADING updating my game omg. this video should help lol thx ash
you're welcome!
literally in this exact situation
literally heaven sent because my game has been so laggy it’s KILLING me. i think you could do more building focused videos (like speed builds) because your building style is so pretty and your lots are always gorgeous 🤍
Would love more behind the scenes on how you set up your let’s plays. They are beyond amazing. 🧡
I use the Sims 4 Mod Manager and it is SO GOOD! It lets me preview the ingame thumbnails so it’s even easier to organize, I also import directly into the app instead of in my folder manually since the app does an automatic check whether the file is a dupplicate or not so it catches it before it’s too late but it also has a tool within the app to check for dupplicates (for names and for dupplicate packages) there’s also the option to deactivate a cc piece which doesn’t delete, it simply turns it off by rename it temporarily so it’s unreadable by the game (renames to .packageOFF) which helps when you just want to turn off stuff without deleting it. I highly recommend this tool, it’s so good!! I feel like not enough simmers know about this.
Edit: I waited til about 90% of the video was done before postingn my comment and you did mention the s4mm! Haha oh well, I approve 😊
youre one of the first sim youtubers that ive watched since ive first started playing and youve helped me sm. congratulations to u for reaching this milestone :)
thank you ☺️
ashley, you are the best, seriously. i have a pretty clean mods folder, but this video taught me i don't have to be one folder deep for cas and build/buy items, literally a life safer like omg?? would you mind making a video on how to find really pretty lots like the ones you find? ones that are functional and cc filled? and maybe where you put the cc in your mods folder for them so it's not a mess? love you and your content sm 🧡
ashley i don’t know how you do it but you always post the right content at the right time. wanted to download wicked whims but with muted settings, you posted. tired of the lag and all my broken cc, you posted. I’m not questioning the magic but there’s definitely something going on here ❤
thank you dani 🥹
@@aashwarrplaysuh thank you for being so influential and creating so much joy & inspiration for the sims 4 community 🤭❤️
Literally just deleted everything last night and started fresh 😂. Thank you for your service. This was very informative
🧡 I’d love to see a video detailing how you record your let’s play series, I can’t ever seem to produce decent quality when I try to
Most definitely
I want to see some more of your simself vlogs I loved watching them🧡
🧡 I’m glad you asked because I have been wanting to ask you to do a video where you explain how you come up with your storylines, how do you plan them, where do you get your inspo for them. And same thing with your characters; how do you come up with their names, backstory, etc. Like, where do you basically start!? I’d also love to know in the same video or another, how do you practically plan your videos/stories, like what do you do behind the scenes of episodes, because I know it takes a LOT of preparation for you to make a new episode for your LP series. Thank you for having this giveaway and the MOD organization video, I’ve been needing one!!
girl THANK YOU, i needed this 😭😭
I needed this soooo much! I've been posting everywhere trying to get help on how people manage large mod folders. Thanks so much!!!
this video was so helpful!! you never miss. i loved your “how i create my sims” video, cas content is always interesting, and being able to see how other simmers make their sims/households 🧡
i love your content as is, your playthroughs especially are so cozy. tbh you've got the best playthroughs i've seen for a sims game, you're one of the best sims 4 creators in my opinion. you got the perfect amount of storytelling, commentary, personality, and polish. i got only praise for you but i am excited for more yume episodes!🧡
Congratulations on 90K Ash!! I’m so happy for you. I’d love to see more pose & animation pack videos 🧡
🧡 i’ve been watching since you first started and i’m so proud of your growth, i want to sim more family based let’s play, sims dump or even build tutorials
I literally just started doing a clean of my mods folder this morning so this video couldn’t have come at a better time! Thank you!! Also excited for your next discover uni episode 🧡🫶🏻
i'd lovee to see you continue to do more let's play series, you always put so much thought and detail into them and I become so invested in your sims' stories! 🧡
🧡 hey ash! your video explaining how to start your own savefile has helped me a lot, so i’d love to see another video of you showcasing your savefile (your favorite townie makeovers, your favorite lots..). thank you for always giving us great content!
I absolutely adore your how to videos!! They are way more informative than any other videos out there. I love your commentary during your let's play videos, you have the sweetest and most adorable giggle. Whenever I have a bad day, I know that watching your videos will instantly lift my mood. I am an aspiring sims builder, I would like to see more how to builds from you because I think you are so talented and pretty concise. Please, never stop posting and playing, you are doing a phenomenal job!🧡
THANK U FOR THIS!!! i would love to see more of these tutorial type videos or basic/common things to know. i think they are so helpful 🧡
this was SO helpful!! tysm ashleyy
I just finished up my first year of college and so I’ve been playing the sims 4 nonstop!! Planning to add mods/cc soon so this video came at such a good time for me to be preventative and reactive. Thank you!!
This has come at such an amazing time for me as I’m in the middle of clearing my folder 😭 thanks Ashley! 🧡 I’d love to see a save file overview series where you do a brief overview of lots and sims for each world
girl this is SO on time😭 i was just playing the other day and my game has these random small glitches and that told me it’s time to clean my mods folder but i’m dreading it fr. i will definitely be getting the Better Exceptions mod for this! Also, i would love some CAS vids! You make such pretty sims🧡
🧡 I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now and ive been loving them ever since 🧡 I really love you let’s play videos, so some videos I would enjoy seeing are new and different let’s plays (maybe even a legacy challenge? 😅)🧡 honestly all of you videos are so good and well put together, I would enjoy any over them 😭🧡
🧡I don’t have very many mods and CC, but this videos just made we want to organize everything 😭🧡
Thank you ash, we love you 🧡 Also I would love to see more let’s play videos. Something like a royalty or almost “bridgerton” type of vibe let’s play💗💗
Congrats on 90k! Just yesterday I was thinking that I need to organize my mods and cc and here you made the video😍 So I would say I love it when you make tutorials or show your tips/behind the scenes, like you did with ww mod settings 🧡
This was so helpful. I will be redoing my mods folder this weekend for sure! The way that I struggled after the update trying to find all the broken mods made me quit the game for a while. This has motivated me to fix my mods folder so I can start playing again!
aww i'm glad i could help!
🧡 Would love to see more mod overview videos, can never get tired of those tbh! I would also love a sort of gameplay tips type of video as well, because your lets plays and story telling make the game feel so immersive!! Thank you for the amazing content as always ashley!!🫶🏼🫶🏼
I’d love to see a decorating video. The way you decorate lots is so special. Would love to hear how you pick the moods, especially in the “getaway” worlds like Sulani etc…..
Keep up the amazing work! Love from South Africa 🧡
I absolutely love your gameplay videos. I love your storytelling and cinematic view on the game. Your style of playing has helped me make my game better. I would love to see how your world build and speed builds would also be very nice to see. Love your interior design and builds. Keep up the amazing work Ashley🧡
I love that I’m not the only one who waits months to update. All your videos have been great. Would love to see you do one of the Sins for Challenges. 💛
I love these tip videos because I feel like they really help people including me but also your gameplay is amazing🧡
I just recently came across your channel and I’ve been binge watching nonstop! Everything from the aesthetic to the stories to way you film I am LIVING for.🧡
congratulations! you've been selected the winner for the two new sims 4 kits! please send me an email with your youtube handle in the subject line! my email can be found in the about panel on my channel page! thank you for participating!
@@aashwarrplays omg thank you soooo much 🧡🧡🧡
@@aashwarrplays email sent!!
I also really love your organization style. It’s pretty much exactly how I organize mine but I’ve learn some good tips. I have a New Downloads folder for cc but naming it after the date is so smart!
so helpful! i was just binging ur mimi in windenburg series and this comes thru
Would love to see more videos centered around your creative process! I love seeing everything from how you set up your worlds, edit photos, record game clips, etc. keep up the great work, Ashley, we love your content! And I’m trying to get my simblr like yours 😂 🧡
🧡I keep mine really organized but the exclamation point is a great idea! Thanks I love it!!
so needed this video cause I got lots of mods to update 😩 I took a long break too. Thank you for this video angel!💖
Lot reccomendations are my favorite videos to watch right now, especially since I’m working on a personal save file. It’s so helpful to get ideas looking at the lots other people use. I know you use a lot of cc but I’m at the point where I’m fine with decorating something from scratch, I just struggle a little with building. 🧡
Whenever I'm not feeling well, I open your videos and relax and laugh, especially the twin's videos lol 🧡
🧡 i’d love to see some speed builds from you tbh you’re an amazing builder ! or even just decorating spaces/apartments
I definitely needed this video! Thanks Ashley!
I would love to see more cas videos of you making your sims. I always love how your sims come out. 🧡
Yesss! I was waiting for this! I would love to see how you organize for your let’s play 💙💙
🧡🧡 i would love to see some building/furnishing videos from you! your interiors are always INCREDIBLE!!
I would love to see how you set up some of your lets plays. You are one of the simmers who really changed my playing 🧡
🧡 more CAS would be greattt. i love the way you make your sims
omg you have no idea how helpful this is my game has been broken for a couple days and i cant find out why I've tried removing mods and checking for updated mods and still have no idea what's wrong with my game it keeps freezing when entering certain worlds or loading outfit changes etc.. but i know this video will for sure help me figure out what's breaking my game THANK YOUUU p.s. im heavily invested in all your lets play series
i’d love to see how you plan for LP series or tips on creating one pretty pls 🧡
loved this video 🧡 i noticed you started doing a bit of maxis mix and as someone who started with alpha cc then transitioned to maxis a few years ago. would love a video on how you pair the two and what you look for in the cc you download.
Hi! Thank you so much, this video was sooo helpful! 🧡 I’d love to see a build-related video in the future, like gallery recommendations or a tutorial on how you build
I'm weirdly so happy to see that I have a similar way of organizing! I am in the process of building Newcrest to my taste and I was wondering if you could do builds recommendations with tours? Or just tours of your builds? Because in your gameplay I LOVED the tour of the hotel for the spring break in discover uni! Would love to see more of this kind of videos. :D 🧡
thanks Ash. I didn't know about the delete all option in mods manager
Great video, Ashley! This was so helpful! I love seeing your content😊 You singlehandedly reignited my love for Sims 4. Keep up the amazing work! I'd really love to see more of your simself series, I enjoyed watching the episodes of your simself in Paris. It'd be interesting to see your simself back in the city of Love with the Paris Mod that came out not too long ago by Lijou. It'd be so cute! 🧡
I appreciate this vid. I just went thru a nightmare trying to update my mods folders. It’s still a hot mess but this will help for sure.
I’m a newbie to the channel just started binge watching the Mimi and discovery university series. Love the vids. I will be side eyeing victors now 😂😂😂
🧡
ouuuu a gallery recommendations videos would be really nice because one thing about you girl, you always have the cutest lots🧡
cousinnnn my obsession w ts4 mod manager is genuinely insane like everytime i cc shop that’s the first thing i open 😭😭 as for video suggestions def maybe some speed build or another gallery/furniture rec vid because ur build style is just as influential as ur gameplay style 🧡
This video has inspired me heavily to get my cc folder together 😂 it’s currently such a disorganized mess. Everything is a catch all folder for me😂
this video was very helpful! twistedmexi's mods are literally lifesaving. i'd love to see a video where you create some sims. i love your sims style and your sims always look so beautiful 🧡
This is a must, thanks for the explanation
This video is so on time for me lol! I'd love to see a video on how you decorate the builds you download 🧡
Thank you so much for this video! I've been cleaning out my folder for the past week because I just be downloading everything. I would love to see more decorating videos because I'm always inspired from your LP's to decorate a shell 🧡
This is so nice! I did one as well last week.
🧡 my fave vids are your mods/overrides so pls more! Also maybe some clothing CC review vids/look books? I’m obsessed with the way you play the sims and you inspire me so much to play
I would love to see a more of a how to play the sims type of video lol this and the idea of this sim doing this! Its just because the way you play it makes everything so relaxing, like I've tried to make relaxing and put together game play but I just move onto the next family after 1 day XD 🧡
🧡 i’d love to see a video on how you record + edit your videos, or a video on a relaxing current household that we might not have seen yet. thanks for the amazing video as always, i needed this tutorial rn!! lol
Hi Ashley. I love your videos and you’re definitely changed my gameplay. I love your series but I wouldn’t mind seeing how you bulid houses/apartments. Your sims home are EVERYTHING! 🧡🧡looking forward to seeing more from you and congrats on that 100k journey!!
🧡 definitely to bring back the simself lp, I’m obsessed lol
I’d love a video on how you make your sims look so realistic with your cc! 🧡
Listen, I’m in the process of doing my 6 month clean up where I delete my mods and start fresh so this couldn’t have came at a better time!!!❤️ thank you so much for this detailed video
The way I don’t even use mods or CC, I’ve just watched all your LPs and your voice is so soothing 😭
yess ash the tutorials have been top notch recently 🤍
🧡 i would love to see a whole mods + cc + build/buy overhaul video for the future xxxx
I'd love to see more CAS centered videos cause I loveeee the way you make your sims they're always so beautiful🧡🧡
i would love to see you do a cc shopping video! i know you already do cc showcases for certain types of mods, but a more organic, chill video of you just browsing around for new cc would be a nice change of pace! love you and your videos so much!!! 🧡
🧡 I would love to see some more cc build content, I love the aesthetic and vibe of your sims game
I’d love to see how you piece together your amazing cinematic intros the struggle has been real for me haha 🧡🧡🧡
i'd love to see you do a video on gallery finds like where you find nice looking townies/bases! 🧡
Thank you so much Ashley ❤ You really love us 🥹🫂
🧡 going live while decorating builds/dressing sims in CAS is something i would love to see! If you’re comfy with that of course.
🧡 a video on how you make your game aesthetic
I love how aesthetically pleasing your sims look! if you can do some townie makeover videos that would be wonderful! 🧡
🧡 Would love to see some behind the scenes content of the planning and setting up process for your Let’s Plays
i dont normally write comments but GIRLL thank you so much for this video! appreciate the detailed and clear examples and visuals
I needed this so bad! thank you
🧡i would love a video on how you make your sims or even just makeover townies
🧡 I definitely would love another CAS turtorial or a lot build tutorial
i can only agree to other suggestions, lot recommendations would be awesome! speed builds or how you set up your game before you record an episode (behind the scenes stuff). i love all of your content! 🧡
🧡 thanks for sharing your tips - sooo organized and satisfying 😍 I would love to see a cottage living LP series - it’s one of my fave packs!!
🧡 I would love more tips for beginners! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I love seeing Mimi LP. I would also love so see lot and decor recommendations and behind the scenes of planning a let’s play. 🧡
🧡i love binging your vids before bed && congrats on 90k! i want to see you go cc shopping/ what u look for cuz I wanna go for a similar style in-game!
I'd like to see speed builds i think you decorate so nicely i'd love to see the process 🧡
🧡 I would love to see more sims dumps because i love your style of the way you do your game and sims!!
this video is such a lifesaver. you’re an absolute legend. i love your content and how you format your videos. 🫶
I would love to see a few more create a sim videos. Your CAS style is so beautiful and it would be nice to be able to see your most used skins and what you do when creating a sim 🧡.
🧡🧡would love to see a video for beginners just getting into sims gameplay (the essentials, favorite gaming tech, how to make cc, etc) because sometimes watching videos without much experience can be overwhelming.
i’d also love a rags to riches style lp of like a self-made woman navigating her new lifestyle (and finding love ofc🤭). lovely content as always ashley!!
