Pro tip for anyone who wants to try this. You can use the illustration tablet at the beginning. It won’t take up a tile, your sims can keep it in their inventory, and your can queue up like 8 paintings at a time.

"have you ever just wanted to completely torture your sims" jessie I think you've been spending too much time with Kevin

fully expected Torch Her to step outside and immediately get hit by lightning

(The sim, forced to paint in a lightless 2x1 box) "Ugh I'm just so afraid of... failure"

plumbella’s next video: RANKING ALL THE SIMS FOUR PAINTINGS (the paintings you can paint not the build mode ones) 😂🖼🎨

every time I watch a plumbella video my inner monolog is in her accent for the rest of the day

You could maybe use photography to start off in a 1x1 box? Definitely gonna try this challenge myself!

when plumbella got the easel... jessie get the sketch pad that goes in their inventory 😭

"The Sims 4 would be soooo good if it was the Sims 3" me too babe, me too

"I love this picture of Kayla Sims" oh be still my heart

got so excited and thought “I HAVE THAT SAME JUMPER” then remembered i literally bought it from ur store

Rather than torture my sims this way I tend to accidentally torture them by agreeing when the Sims 3 sim wants to have a baby too often and overwhelm them with small children

The bed reminds me of the 3D rendered bed from that one tumblr post where a guy texted his landlord a photo of his room referencing the wall color and the landlord, unprompted, 3D rendered a model of the tenants bed and sent it back to him. He 3D rendered the dog too.

Fear of failure is a mood. Especially not leaving the house.

When your sim first starts painting, start with the smallest painting cause you're gonna lose money either way at least once

You could get her social need up by talking to the plant. 😂

As an ambiguous amphibian fan, seeing him play Sims is always a blessing, so as a plum fan, I'm ecstatic hearing her mention watching him. There's something about veteran sims players.

if you list your paintings on plopsy, they sell for wayyy more! i’ve had multiple sell for over 20,000

The house ended up very cute and personable by the end :) Something about these challenges feels very... authentic? Can't find the word, but I find it so much easier to invest than a standard playthrough. Gotta pick this one up!

I haven't seen this challenge before but I kinda wanna try it with the digital sketch pad thing since the paintings are free from that iirc

THE SKETCHBOOK!! You can digitally create paintings and sell them.

If you have one of the sales tables (from Jungle Adventure, Eco Living or City Living) you can cook/bake in your hone kitchen and sell your food during a Yard Sale (or Street Sale). I actually did a stream on twitch to see what is the best money makers for the least cost of ingredients; lol, it's cheese.🧀💰

"Can we sell food that we cooked?" You can sell wedding cakes, I believe. And if you can get fresh cooked food or drinks into your family inventory, sometimes the game will let you sell it. Not all the time though, which is weird, so it might be a bug.

I don't know why but every time you sign off on your video, the "Bye B" always feels so uplifting lol.

Congrats to Torch Her for quite a cute house and some masterpieces

Can't wait to watch this absolute chaos. 10 year old me would've loved this challenge.

"I love this picture of Kayla Sims" SJKLdha I never noticed it looks just her

You could even try this in a 1x1 tile by taking selfies and selling those, very avant garde 😂

very much felt the fanfiction hyperfixation, it truly be what can autism do for me 😩🤭

"Santa claus what you doing here?!" - absolutely creasing 😂

Omg I need that app or whatever to keep track of all the fanfics I read. Sometimes I randomly remember this specific scene from a fanfic and I have to go on a witchhunt to find it.

i think the stuff showing up on your lot is from the lightning striking the floor, i don't think it's new but idk for def ♥️

You should use Torch as a test dummy for different versions of this challenge!! Use different skill building items and see which one works the best.

Huh -- that's actually a pretty fun little challenge! I like the idea of having to truly earn your way up to a proper house. I'm glad Torch Her managed to get herself a real place to live and a chance to go outside and get her letter from Midnight Hollow. Wonder how the Sims 3 Sims are doing there. :p

Okay the camera work on that going outside moment was amazing 👏

The frock destroyer references get me every time

Thank you Declan for the amazing montage 👏🏽💕

Love this challenge and yes you can 1 x 1 using the sketch pad but understandably under the pressure you didn’t think of it I can see you head smacking now 😂

I love how chaotic this video was Ambiguous Amphibian’s sims videos always are lmao

ive been on a huge binge watching ur vids lately and im sososo happy u uploaded omg

Random and I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but the hair color makes you look like the child of Kate Winslet and kiara knigktly specifically from P&P 💜💜💜

Hi Jesse, I just want to say that I love your videos and they are a great source of comfort for me right now during a bad wave of depression. Keep being you and making funny, quality content. :)

Jess, you're my favorite simmer to watch and make my days so much better (also we have the same hyperfixations 10/10)

I absolutely LOVE this challenge idea! I can’t wait to give it a try.

Declan that montage was fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

i literally track the au’s i think about in my head on notion, so i feel you bestie

This is like the 'can you get rich challenge', but actually sticking to the skill. Loved it!

I love you videos so much because we are similar in so many ways and it makes me feel less odd! I sing every couple sentences too! Love you girl! Keep on keepin on! ❤😊👏🏼

The religious crisis present throughout this entire video is very relatable 😂

Your energy is so nice

Glad for the upload!

oh I feel you on the amount of fanfic reading done, my inbox is absolutely awash with updates on new chapters its wild

I just loved this challenge! What a fun video.

Living for Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Having a fav color of all time and a current fav color is so true :D my current fav is orange!

Luv to see it!❤

That Sim… just made a Jan van Eyck… without references 😮

Love me a good drag race reference, made me so happy

I liked the part where you took a U-turn on Jesus and told him to eat it

Ah yes, sims torture. My favorite time of day.

your verse in break up bye bye is officially my fav

the fact you sang BOYS IN MOTION ♥️

such a good video and challenge aaaaa

okay but like this is actually such a fun idea, I am definitely gonna give it a try!

I hope AA sees this! You two are both amazing content creators :)

I know this is 9 months ago, but just letting everyone know the "cat funeral" painting is actually the painting The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck, only with cats!

I loved this!

Jesse you could just superglue the Lord onto the cross 🤣🤣🤣!! Lots of love Hun 💚💚💚

Loved the little Frock Destroyers bream

I absolutely love AA. His videos are great.

I love this artist simulator

11:31 the cross on ur face as you speak abt jesus is really bringing this video together

Ah this was very fun to watch!

thanks for the laughs💚

You need to add a fanfic rec segment to your videos! SHARE THE WEALTH PLUMBELLA!

That was entirely too much fun!

Lost my woof brother in 2020 so can relate to the first painting.

what a fun challenge!! I think I'll actually try this one out!! 😚

Plumbella always makes me feel so normal xD

The first few minutes of this video was Plumbella taking the sims 4 version of the Rorschach test

if she had the erratic trait she could talk to herself and get her social up. he he.

‘i love this picture of kayla sims’ 😭😭😭😭😭 HAHAHAHA

5:52 That picture is actually an engagement/wedding. So quite the opposite haha.

I have OCD (contamination fears, obsessive washing, cleaning etc) and I stopped going out for over a year when covid started as I was just too scared to leave my house. I got to a point where I was able to do a few short walks. Now I do an hour walk at least 5 days a week. Still anxious about it but I am doing better than I was. Jess, you're not alone =) Keep fighting. Keep on keeping on 💛

Oo can you do a setup video? I love seeing what equipment you guys use and why.

Plumbella there's a digital sketchpad. Lol.

I would LOVE a tutorial on how to make a fanfic sheet from Notion!

Thank you for inspiring me to return to Sims 4. I had run out of things to do with the Sims I had been playing and was in a bit of a lull with nothing driving me to continue playing. Your video has drawn me back in and I have now created a new Sim and put her in her box. I have also discovered that you can put her in a 1x1 box with nothing at all and it is still possible for your Sim to make money (nearly 2000 simoleons) and even max out a (base game) skill in less than 3 hours. This may break the challenge though so I think I'll ban her from taking photos of a blank wall with her phone from this point on. Who is paying up to §29 at a time for pictures of a blank wall?!

* *jams out dramatically to break up bye bye* *

omg i have notion why haven't i thought about tracking my fanfic reads too????? i do it for proper published books but not this JESS YOU HAVE OPENED A DANGEROUS DOOR BABES

i WISH an art career could buy an entire house like that i rlly do

@11:19 lmaao this is a REAL thought process 🤣

Jessica the first painting is definitely a DOG SHAPED CLOUD 😭😭😭😭

Omg I need to do this now

For truly the hardest way,start with nothing, you could sell photos from the phone

"The Sims 4 would be soooo good if it was the Sims 3" sent me 😂

f*king love the colour green

I believe you can talk to plants for social need 😂

Livin' for the break up bye bye referenceeee!!! And the Baga verse too omg

13:18 those show up from lightning. If lightning strikes on your lot there's a chance of getting an element. It's always been a part of seasons 👍
