I really enjoy doing the sims 4 create a sim videos as much as I can! I do the sims 4 create a sim often & I usually link the whole the sims 4 custom content cc list which consists of the sims 4 hairs, sims 4 clothes, sims 4 skins, sims 4 skin details, sims 4 makeup etc. If you'd like to watch more of the sims 4 create a sim you can here: czcams.com/users/playlist?list...
I also do the sims 4 lets play series filled with drama & story! I have been doing the sims 4 lets plays series since the dawn of my channel but now I'm doing the sims 4 lets plays series much more often.

Thatâs why I edit challenges to be more story orientated and loose so I can go with the flow.
Editing challenges to fit your playstyle is such a clever idea!
I do this too! I'm currently playing Not So Berry but leaning more heavily into it being a story driven legacy rather than a challenge
@@_smolSam Itâs fun taking inspo from the challenge and creating a story out of it.
This is what Iâm doing with my Sims in Bloom Legacy challenge. I am following the traits/aspirations/listed âcolorsâ for each generation and careers, skills, etc but Iâm not forcing myself to complete the goals such as âmasteringâ the skills for that generation for example. I love having the guidelines to put into my game so that I can have a base for the story I make up for my household. â€
I love playing rotationally with gameplay rules I make for myself to allow for surprises! Though I love having a ruleset to see what I can manipulate within them, I love making stories/families, and playing an entire world allows me to refresh things to keep me from getting bored :)
Itâs so funny how you called her Miss Shortbread throughout the video! Maybe her name could be Missy? Missy Shortbread sounds fun I think!
Missy would be so cute!
sheâs so cute!!! playing with a bakery should be fun, I donât think Iâve ever ran a store before in ts4. Iâm trying to resist the urge to create another current household after watching this - I have too many lol. beautiful sim, love !!!! x
Thank you so much! I can't remember the last time I ran a store so it's going to be an interesting experience. I have way too many households as well so I feel your pain haha!!â€ïž
Tl, dr: story prompts might be more fun than structured challenges and creating sims with the intention of only playing with them for a short time is cool.
This is probably really obvious but I think a good idea for you to try is rather than challenges, create yourself challenging prompts. Create a sim with a mismatched personality or skill set or have a sim start in a really awkward position and try to create a story around it that makes sense. I think a crazy start and a blank page might be really fun for you as you wouldn't be limited by any end goals or pre determined story and you could just let yourself run wild with all the unique and diverse story options. One thing I do sometimes is create a family for my world but only play them enough to build their story and get to know them (probably do it with ageing off), that way it's okay if you only play them for a few hours because you'll have sims that mean something to you walking around your world and being friends with your main household, it gives you a chance to try new things without committing and it can be refreshing to spend an hour with a random family. It also reduces the annoying npcs with mismatched clothes who just appear everywhere until you delete them or give them a makeover.
she is so stinkin cute!! i can't wait for casual gameplay w/ her đ„° here are a few lil name suggestions: lavender, bryonia, fayetta, mariposa (posey), pippa, mitzie, petunia, lily-rose âĄ
Thank you Amanda!I love those names so much!!
I feel that so much. I try to create a legacy, challenge or I end up straying away from certain things to do what I love. I think of the main things I need to do is create a number of households and cycle through them in order to achieve generations. It worked out wonderfully for me playing the Sims 2, but I need to find a good method for the Sims 4.
I don't play sims 4 anymore, I'm much more into ts3 but heavily relate to this
I feel like rules and challenges limit my creativity and aren't compatible with my slow paced playing style. Lately I sometimes use challenges to give me ideas for the founder of a said legacy but thats it!!
hi plumbie! i'm so glad you had this realization- better late than never for you to reflect on what you actually enjoy doing instead of what you think you should be doing. for my gameplay, it's the cozy family gameplay where i play the same family for a while and storytell without the pressure of a challenge. also, i play the base game which means i can't do many challenges!
as always, love seeing notifications from ur channel and some name suggestions are: Hannah, Norah, Abigail, or Harper- idk why but i think they would fit her
Hello Valentina! I'm exactly the same, cosy family gameplay brings me so much joy and not having any pressure as well is really lovely. Thank you so much! All those names would fit her perfectly!!
I love that you came a bit closer to figuring out how you like to play. I realized recently that I get bored if I stay in the same world and with the same family for too long, so now I have at least one family in each world, and I play rotationally. I play each family for a week then move to the next family. And I like it when my sims all have different hobbies and goals. Like even if two dims are both bookworms, they won't necessarily love the same genre. Playing with this much variety makes me really love my sims and enjoy playing.
I love doing challenges but I feel you when it comes to doing lets plays, there are so many lets plays I've done on my channel that I haven't finished đŁ and I feel bad too. This sim is the cutest! I love her little skin details and the outfits are so cute, I really like those maxis match hairs you used, I don't think I ever really use maxis match but the hairs look so good in my opinion! I am interested to see how you play this sim on your channel I always love seeing new sims 4 lets play series and I've been so into them recently đ€©
I I have a name suggestion⊠Shortbread, Sweets and Treats đI must admit, I do like doing challenges⊠They do satisfy that part of my brain that likes a checklist. But I find that by the time I get to GEN five and six Iâve lost interest. The only challenge that Iâve ever completed was the hundred baby challenge which Iâve actually completed twice. My favorite way to gameplay is to actually play my NPC families one at a time. Iâve created my own custom save file with builds and Sims from some of the creators that I love the most and some that Iâve created myself. Iâll spend a week or two playing a family getting their skills built and worked up in their careers, while getting friendships built. And then Iâll move onto another family. Iâve actually done this with 5 different saves since Iâve been playing the Sims and it truly is what I enjoy the most. I say do what makes you happy! Watching your videos makes me happy. đđ
I love that name suggestion! I'm glad you've found how you like to play ts4. Also, completing the 100 baby challenge twice is a great achievement!Aw, thank you!
Im so excited for this series! I just started doing a relaxed gameplay of my own since ive been doing so many challenges.
As for names i think maybe Ginger like Gingersnap since shes a baker
Iâm still watching but I am the same exact way. I donât think Iâve ever started a challenge or at least not one by someone else. Legacies arenât for me either lol. I thrive on rotational gameplay. It keeps me from getting bored. Thatâs why I love custom save files so much.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Rotational gameplay is amazing, It's definitely one of my favourite things to do in the sims.
a casual gameplay is so fun! id love to see it đ€©
I can't wait to record ep 1!
I figure out this too recently. I found I love challenges at the beginning but then I realise that I had a different play style.
And I never stick to challenges And I love that Iâm not alone
I can't wait to see this new series
I hope that its gonna help you enjoy the game
Thank you Carmine!
I love both. I'm doing the whimsy story challenge but when I get burned out I play one of my more carefree families
I think I like to do both, because even in the challenge I follow my intuition on what to do and I always need a break and just play as it is without any challenge with other householdđ„° and I love your sims names
Mixing both is a very good idea! I think having a couple of households, one with a challenge and one without is also a great idea. Thank you!
i definitely do the same! i lose interest in households and challenges really quickly, never making it past mid-generation 1. my goal this year is to give my characters more depth and story so i can get immersed more and finish a generation!
Your not playing this sims wrong, your playing it better than me. Love your astetic game play! â€â€â€â€â€
same with me I can't play like a challenge bc ill always like cheat it and then ill get bored I think is bc when I creat a sims I have this picture in my mind and then when I start playing the lets play it gets boring really quick
I love to play intergenerational games. I always have since the Sims 2, I used to play rotationally, and I still sometimes do if I'm on long lifespan.
I only started playing challenges last year with the not so Berry challenge, (mostly because I kept wanting to start out with arty hippies and do the same sort of things, although the Sims they'd meet along the way and what have you would influence how the story would go and change things up a little) not so Berry has been really fun for me I'm on peach and I already feel like I'll miss it.
I've done some scenarios as well which have also been fun prompts that let me get a little out of my rut. The perfectly well rounded challenge is basically what I would always strive to achieve anyway but having the little goal things to remind me was not bad. And I did that kid scenario which honestly reminded me of a lot of gameplay I'd completely overlooked. I usually play the kids but not to that extent, I'd just play them enough to get them some friends and complete at least one aspiration so playing fully as a child was really interesting and it was fun to see what a difference it was. I made her the child of a wolfpack and she just had to deal with nutty wolves and however they managed to deal with their needs and whatever.
I also tried starting as a toddler after that I put her parents in steady jobs and then didn't play them just tried to get my needs met from the toddler perspective which was more fun than I thought it would be
I love your videos they motivate me to play thanks â€
Plumbie I love your content so much! all your videos are always so aesthetically pleasing and inspire me to make better sims lol!! âĄ
Awe, thank you so much! This comment is very kind
I completely relate to you!! I'm a storyteller at heart and I'm not a fan of playing challenges in the sims either đ
Not the best at naming, but maybe Holly or Mavis? X
I'm happy I'm not alone haha! Both of those names are so cute!!
Iâm definitely the same way
The character is so cute, I can agree with you that I also canât stick to challenges. Here are a few name ideas I thought would go well with shortbread
Aurora
Lizzie
Paula
Charlotte
Dori
wow. i was always astonished that so many youtubers and players out there were able to finish legacies like the NSB it is so weight lifting to know that im not alone
I know right! It's amazing how people can finish such big legacy challenges.
I like to play freely aswell, i don't find it that fun to play challanges. Hope to see you stream even without challenges, but do what feels right for youđ Hope you will have fun with playing sims this way!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys playing like this! I'm planning on streaming more building and maybe some casual gameplay with Fisher. Thank you!
I love your sims so much and I think an interesting name could be Thyme. Because of lemon thyme shortbread cookies. (Her last nameđ)
Honestly I've been going through this too! It could be an interesting idea to make a video about ways to play the game without commitment lol also I think she'd suit the name Silvia! I don't know why but that's what I thought lol
I am the same! I can never finish a legacy, I find it so hard!!! đ
She's so cute! I'm really looking forward to episode 1! here are a bunch of name suggestions:
Georgia, Ember, Lizzy/Izzy, Harper, Lovey and Layla!
Thank you so much!!â€ïž
You are so good at making sims I'm so jealous.
Aw, thank you Lydia!â€ïž
I hope this series makes you happy, that's the most important!
And for this sweet baker, how about Rosemary? I think it's a sweet name for her đ
Thank you!! Rosemary is so adorable!
Hi Plumbie! I cannot wait for this lp to begin.
I am exactly the same as you, I have never ever finished a legacy or a challenge.
I have some name suggestions: Sage, Jodie, Blakley, Faith, and Rayneđ
I hope that these names are good personally Sage sticks to me the most.
Hello Nadine! I'm glad I'm not the only one haha. Thank you for the name suggestions!!
@@Plumbie đđ
Oh my goodness I think you have just explained my problem with the Sims 4!
I play the first gen and then lose interest. I like slow gameplay and like you say using intuition.
I love the pack legacy challenge that RosannaTxt has written. I like the idea that it will get me to focus on all the different gameplay aspects. However, Iâm thinking about having different households rather than different generations. That means I can hop about depending on what I fancy doing.
I hope that makes sense đ
Such a great idea!
I'm so glad I managed to put into words your problem with the sims 4 haha! Slow gameplay is the best gameplay in my opinion. The pack legacy challenge sounds really interesting! Kind of like the lepacy challenge in ts3. That definitely made sense, thank you for the comment!
Bonnie reminds me cinnabons soo cuteee
Omg I found my twin. Challenges and following rules aren't really my style and also took me a while to figure this out.
I can't seem to play with one household for long, so what I do is whenever I make a new household I would place them in the same world so if I wanna switch around it'll be super easy
I think sheâs absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you!!
Really enjoyed hearing you talk about this. Iâve been playing the sims since it came out as well and never completed a legacy challenge and felt like I was playing wrong. I really enjoy long lifespan and exploring an individual sims story. Seems like thatâs what this letâs play will be about and Iâm soooo excited!! Also, I like her name but maybe Cindy as a nickname??
I always felt bad because I'd spend months playing with just one sim and expanding their story too! But that's one thing I love about the sims franchise is that you can do so much with one sim and their story. I'm so excited about the lp as well, I have a feeling that it's going to be amazing. Cindy is the cutest nickname for her!
Ms. Shortbread seems like an Evelyn to me. :) I also like Petra, Isabel, and Madeline.
I really like the name Winnie, Pippa, Grace, Lizzie, Valerie, maybe a day of the week name like Sunday with Sunny for short or a month name like February with Feb for short. I donât know, I love thinking of names â€ïž
I love your videos!!! I think Athena would be a beautiful first name for her!!
Thank you!! Athena is a beautiful name!
@@Plumbie âșïžâșïž no problem
Sheâs so pretty and the name Cynthia fits her perfectly!! đ
Thank you!!
I think Marie or Mary would be a perfect name! đ€
Shiva here
Hello Shiva!I adore these name suggestions so much, thank you!!
im trying the random legacy challenge !! it's been kinda hard finding inspo for starting a new gameplay
your game is the cutest ever what the HELL đ„čâ„ïž
Awe, thank you!â€ïž
Definitely on the same page. I've only just realised the same thing đ
I'm glad I'm not the only one who just realised this haha!!
Hi Plumbie! I really like the idea of Gwendolyn as her first name. Gwendolyn Shortbread, though she'd probably go by Gwen in most situations. I've never finished a challenge either. I've gotten 4-6 gens in when playing TS3 and 3 gens so far with TS4, I think this occurs because when you get really invested in a family you want to take your time, especially when you're storytelling.
Hello Melody! Gwendolyn and Gwen for short is so pretty. That's usually what happens with me, I get very invested in a family so then it takes them months to age up haha!
What a cute sim! Here are some names that might suit her: Rosemary, Marigold, Mackenzie, Emmaline, Aubrey, Daria, Ewelina, Josefine, Luisa, Marika, Marcie, Mira, Paulina, Tosie, Belena, Josie, Milena, Belinda, Bonnie, Senna, Hazel, Pomona
Thank you! These names suggestions would fit her perfectly, thank you!!
I think Camilla would be a cute name for her
New name suggestions for Cynthia!
River
Thea
Rosé
Iris
Not to many because I couldnât think of much that would fit.
I love these names! I also struggled finding names that would fit her as well, thank you for the suggestions.
The only challenge I can play is rag to riches. I canât even finish watching sim legacy challenges made by simmers. đOtherwise my gameplay is very casual.
I like the name Rosie for her!
Rosie would be adorable!
Flora Shortbread
If you're still taking suggestions:
Peony
Lavender
Or Henrietta
Maybe Vani (short for vanilla), pronounced va-nee. Vanilla Shortbread. I hope itâs not too silly or on the nose đđ.
P.s. Could you dedicate a video to storytelling? Sims 4 seems goal-oriented, but Iâd like to get your approach!
Vani would be so adorable! And don't worry, it's not too on the nose and I love names like that anyway.I'd love to make a video like that! I'll add the idea to my video list.
She is so pretty she looks like a candy to me candy shortbread lol.
The Sim is super cute and I'm looking forward to more videos! I'm similar to you, playing challenges is not for me. I do like to play "legacies," sort of, but just in the sense that I play the same family tree for multiple generations. I don't follow any other traditional legacy challenge rules, and I don't care whether I get to generation 10 or not.
Thank you!I also enjoy playing with a big family following multiple generations.
What colour preset or texture pack are you using? Its so nice...
I use this gshade preset here: www.patreon.com/posts/ellcrze-gshade-73602147?Link&
Are you still going to play the honeybrews? Becuase they are a legacy and not a challenge. Just wondering. Love all of your videosâ€â€
Yes I am! I adore the Honeybrews to death and I don't think I'll be leaving them anytime soon. Thank you so much!â€ïž
What pack is the top at 5:12 from?
It's a cc piece! Here is the link: bowl-of-plumbobs.tumblr.com/post/703556524771016704/here-we-go-ive-been-having-this-itch-to-create â€ïž
Wanted to also comment some name suggestions.
1. Hazel
2. Rosemary
3. Clementine
4. Everleigh
5. Petal
6. Adeline
7. Wisteria
Thank you for the name suggestions, I love them!!
How do you get your game to look like that ??

Plumbie, I think you should just included the cc in the tray files.
I would do this but it's against lots of cc creators tou so sadly I cannot!â€ïž
Can I ask what your default skin is ?

You could name her Kyra :>
Kyra is such a cute name!
How about Sue or Susie shortbread
Those would be perfect!
Does this mean that honeybrew is over or am I just tripping đ
Don't worry at all, Honeybrew is not going anywhere anytime soon!!!
@@Plumbie phew omg
Hello plumbie my name is Bor can jou my in the sims4.caeren
My question is do yâall think its actually appropriate for a 12 year old?
To be honest, I think ts4 is fine for 12 year olds! But I suggest looking into yourself and seeing if it is appropriate for your sibling/child. â€ïž
@@Plumbie Thank you!!
i feel the exact same way, sometimes i like to just play normally with my sims and see where things go like skill building and casual, comfy gameplay, im super glad youâre starting a series like this because i need more simmers who prefer this type of gameplay! đ€
