Hi guys. If the reupload confuses you, it's definitely that I wasn't comfortable with some of my edits when I watched them with rested eyes today. You can kind of grow blind working in premiere for many hours. Since I want this series to be watchable even a year from now, I decided to take the existing project and do some cuts on content that didn't work. I'm learning new skills in editing, and overused them like a lot of newbies seem to do. It's not really about any comments I received, which were mostly positive, but more about me feeling uncomfortable sharing things I don't like it myself. I left a lot of the better gags and deliberately corny things, I'm self-aware in that regard.. but got rid of humans that move and altered things to not intrude too much. Now I'm happy with it.

I love that you listened to my comment two videos ago and didn't do the motion sickness zoom any more. Thank you. I really enjoy this series. Your editing skills are growing. I like being part of that journey. It's my bedtime now, and I just finished watching. Thank you for your hard work, Carl!

I love to see how much you CARE about your work. Truly admirable and of course, I'm re-watching because you rock dude. Being transparent has always worked for me and I love when other creators are transparent with their viewers. It gives us insight on how you're enjoying what you do. Thank you for all your hard work. BTW: I laughed on several parts of this video XD great content

When looking for crystals or metals, the dig sites actually do convey what they are. Crystals will have crystals poking out and metals will be dotted with colorful spots. That said, there is still the chance for finding those time capsules.

Using a journal raises emotional control. Very easy. Empathy was harder for me as a teen. I got it maxes as a kid with the doctor set.

The way you said "tell me what goes on... in that bush" w the timing of the bush appearing had me laughing out loud 😅

Don't care if it's a re-upload, I'm watching again :P

Of all the sims youtubers I think the quality and education value of your videos are the best. Thanks for all the time and excellence you put into making these for the community.

You should continue after he ages up to YA. I'd be interested to see how quickly you could max every skill 😁

Honestly, the best reward from character traits is the polite introduction

I never thought I'd get so excited to watch a reuploaded video but here we are.

Do you realise you can take vacation days from school so you don’t lose responsibility? It’s good to make a long weekend to go to Granite Falls or finish off skills and aspirations.

I am currently doing the super sim, but she is 'father winters baby', and I randomise aspirations and traits. I find that I get a little bored if my sims are too 'perfect', and this way, I don't make the same sim over and over again. This also makes me more likely to play the game as a character, not just a 'grind'.

I can't wait for the Tiny Living stuff pack and the skilling perk. Almost makes me want to pause my super sim for a few days until it comes out!

I made my teen play the violin with emotion and it builds the skill and gives you emotional control Also having the parent teaching them things gives a pretty good bump for conflict resolution. The parent helping with hw also cuts the time it takes to complete it

The stairs killed me. That’s it LMAO

I 💖 that you redid the video. Not enough YTuber simmers care about their work enough. Of course some are just still learning editing skills and I can forgive that if their content is good. It's great that you are relearning (or learning) playing details. We learn as much from your discoveries/rediscoveries as from the things you knew already... maybe more. My favorite thing is that your style isn't geared towards teens. Also new bugs and quirks pop up with updates and new packs... and it helps when you point those out. I check out new (to me) Sim YTubers... but only sub to those that put in the effort. You are one of the handful I watch & hit the like button regularly. Some of my favs are James Turner, Lilsimsie, and The PixelBiologist (Seri). Tutorials (well done ones) are great... but I also enjoy them in LP/story mode. With you we are getting both.

I did something similar, but I started by moving in an island spirit to my home then she had a baby with father winter so my sim got 2 bonus traits. As an adult my sim got every skill and worked through every aspiration to get all the traits. All the lifetime rewards points were more than enough to buy all the bonus traits and the elixir of life a few times so my sim stayed a young adult. A bit strange having children for the family aspirations and having them end up older than my main sim though!

I try to tackle all the badges before he’s a teen. Mostly because I try to avoid having useless lvl 1 skills cluttered all over the skills tab. Like painting skills for my physical fitness sim.

When they are toddlers the parent can teach 2 values (conflict resolution and manners) to them. It’s best to max those out before they age up, so you only have to maintain them a little to keep them from dropping. Maxing conflict resolution as a toddler is the priority though. As a child I max out empathy by using the doctor play set, and I only need to maintain it a little by asking about mood once a teenager. Emotional control is something I don’t worry about until they are a teen, then they can jog to clear mind and work on their fitness. Responsibility tends to max passively as you do homework and tidy. For the badges: As a kid I work on their aspirations as I complete the scout badges. Like the creativity aspiration needs you to draw all 5 drawings on the crafting table. This also counts towards a crafting badge, and then I donate those to charity for another badge. I use an incense burner to help them get the right mood for each activity (inspired for crafts, focused for homework). The trickiest is getting playful on a public jungle gym unless your sim can afford to buy one with an incense burner next to it. I take off the lot trait child’s play if the kids are too playful to focus or be inspired. I postpone the outdoor badge until they are a teen so I can grill on a BBQ/fish nearby and keep everyone fed at the same time, and it’s faster then digging up time capsules off my lot. When I play the 100 baby challenge, I make it harder by trying to make perfect sims with all values maxed, all childhood aspirations complete, and all badges. If you play with spellcasters you can use scruberoo on your kids and teens to save time. I suppose you could give teen sims those need-filling potions.

I was about to explain something... then I remembered who this is. NOTHING I have to say will be news to him... I mean... he is the freaking Car'ls Sims Guide!!!! If it is about Sims he already knows it, he just probably forgot...

I missed the first video, so this is the first time I’m seeing this video. That said, I have enjoyed all your videos so far. The people on screen was a surprise in its suddenness but not really distracting. I liked how the Picard one didn’t linger, especially. Im trying to think how other people I watch handle the images. I think having a fade in and fade out would be smoother, as well as them being a bit smaller so they don’t cover the whole screen. But then, I don’t make videos so I may be way off! I think your personality and humor is a big part of your charm so the special effects stuff is kind of secondary. Anyway, good video, I learn at least a couple new things each video it seems!

22:01 Did you know that, if you're a witch (or maybe scientist, haven't tested) that when you to a secret lot, you can do copypasto on rock/geode/alien/crystal/etc nodes? It goes straight into your household inventory, and you can place them on your own lot for *broken* farming. Only works for the secret lots and not public lots (as far as I can tell). I know you don't like witches or broken mechanics, but someone might find it fun/useful.

I commented yesterday - I enjoy this series and the casual feel of your let’s play - I have also picked up a number of tips from it for my own play throughs 😀

watching the re-upload has inspired me to try sims in a new light, make myself as a sim but start out by playing the parents so it gives myself a more directed personality since to be honest any little thing that adds flavor is very much needed to feel different, might even give this super sim challenge a try :) edit: regarding the confident after writing and woodcrafting. your not alone i hate how disruptive and un-related that moodlet is to the task your working on, i mean if you were making a good book you'd think you'd be inspired to come up with more ideas, same with woodworking. i mean if the idea i pitched being that the confident trait being reliant on confident being the sims "happiest" mood instead of happy would make it make sense. but that isn't a thing :(

Thanks to you and this LP I was finally able to master all the character traits and age my super sim up to an young adult.

The other one was fine but this is more easy to watch, more fluid, nice job man im glad to see that you put genuine care and pasion on your content

To get rid of the wet moodlet from cloud gazing in the rain just change your clothes when you go back in the house. If you stay wet, cold, or have other poor needs too long you increase your chance of getting sick.

I am watching this again because I want your channel to succeed

BTW I really like that your series has longer episodes. I will totally watch n hr long sims video

Are you planning to reach level 10 in each career when Kobe becomes and adult? Not sure if you’ve already mentioned this or not. Loving the series Carl, keep up the great work!

3 years late but that last segment hits differently! its feedback that got us sentiments and the compatibility mechanics

I was very frustrated with conflict resolution, it has this strange distance that makes it difficult, all other values ​​were linked with some object or easy action to do, but conflict resolution doesn’t have that, it is purely in actions 2, one in childhood, and the another to mend a relationship. other than that, you have the option to apologize, but this is inconvenient because you have to abuse your parents or a random Sim, and that harms empathy, which is not difficult to achieve, but even so... it's a pain in the ass surprise me that I remember this guide so much, it helped me a lot I have a dummy head but I managed to remember several tips from this guide and it helped me a lot

One of my favorite videos from you so far. Love all the edits and the added graphics. I’m sure it was a lot of extra work but it was worth it. You seemed like you were having a blast especially at the beginning. One thing I try to do with my kids before aging them up to teens and my teens before aging them up to adults is look at their vacation days. If the kid has vacation days, use them and Jew the kid home before aging up. You get more skill boosts and you don’t have to worry about homework. Kid vacation days don’t roll over to teens so once you age up they are lost. Thanks again for a great video.

I love your videos. I actually found your site when struggling to learn sims 3. The content helped me improve my own gameplay. Thank you for all the tips and information!

I would rewatch anything from you. Your videos are both very entertaining and helpful!

Enjoyed just as much as the first time watch! I know how tedious editing can be, mostly on such long footage. Kudos for seeking perfection.

I've only just started watching your videos but I'm always on your site, just wanted to say thanks for sharing the knowledge, I've been a Sims fan for years but dont get to play as much, so your guides really help cause i can just get to playing, thanks again :)

love your videos, both the deep information ones and fun ones like this one!

I had a teen argue with her mum every day and she got a negative trait (emotional control?). Also miss school/work/scouts/drama club and responsibility goes down a lot. I think low empathy is best met in childhood/as a toddler by hitting and biting people and toys not sure about manners? By belching and mean introductions?

Thank you for doing these videos! I've learned some things I didn't know and it's helped rekindle my interest in the game. 😊

*Teenage boy has school in the morning* Hygiene and energy are going to be the main problems yup, sounds about right

I really do love these videos. I watch this one twice, like I do most of your videos. Fame really goes down quickly. Have a family with three Global Superstars. They have a drone follow them around streaming once a day.

Your building..... oh my god 😭 I wish I could reach through the screen to help you hahaha!

Love all your guides! Very helpful and entertaining! Great job! 👍🙂

I just came across your channel a week ago and I'm loving these videos!!

I know you did this years a go... I just started playing 2 weeks ago and these vedios are really help full.... I have been playing sims free play for many years... I really like you can change aspirations on a SIM and then go back

Oh ho ho, the skiing pack was added, amazing A+

U have resparked my love of the sims thank you.

Love your gardening video. And this series is great to. Love seeing how u stack up the bonus traits. Are u going to try to achieve then all? And all the aspirations?

I love your videos, so funny, yet informative

We need more lets plays, you're fantastic!

Your commentary is very entertaining.

At 21 minutes... Ohhh, you said "Dig" sites... talk about a 'wait... what?' moment.

I've really enjoyed this series and I don't even play TS4. I'd love to see more tutorial-like, challenge let's plays. Maybe something about off the grid?

These videos are both funny and helpful

When I see other people playing the sims I realize most of them let the bars reach orange or red color, but since I micromanage everything all my sims are always at green. Then I remember I also fill my cars tank after I’ve used a quarter of the gasoline, so...

"I saw mommy beat up Santa Clause, underneath a gold plumbob tonight..."

Carl you mentioned an Evil version of your perfect sim, where can I find that video? I'd really enjoy seeing you make this sim and his progression into the dark side.

I loveeee this let’s play!!! 💕

I watched it again. Keep up the good work.

I rarely did homework if I did it was usually done in the class before the one the homework was due.

I liked it the way it was. But.... I do think this one is better. I'm happy to watch again and again

I also have the problem of making my builds huge, had the same problem in the sims 3 too. I'm scared to try doing a tiny home lol.

Haha I'm like you with the building. I've just decided to use already made homes instead :p

rewatches because I can.

I got so happy I thought it was a new ep. Oh well still love

watching him edit the clubhouse was so painful (as someone who mostly has only used the sims 4 for building things). luckily it was also very entertaining

Carl, please don't worry about your building too much. Enjoy the game and do u. 🙂

You are so good at this I hope that I can get my Sims to work on their goals. They are lazy 😁

They fixed the shower/tub issues on the recent update

I don't think it's a bug that you can donate broken things. People do that all the time and charities either fix them or sell for scrap. I know it's done with cars and cell phones. It is a bug that you can get credit for donating stuff like letters & bills from your inventory. Though I bet there are scammers out there that would love for your kids to donate your bills just to get your info. I'm iffy on being able donate dog poop (yep that's a thing)... but maybe they are giving it to a gardening co-op to go in their compost bin for fertilizer.

I get a damn kick out of your narration. Subbed.

When life give you lemons, eat them while pooping.

Wait the min, wait what? You can paint on the tablet thingy?! I didnt know that! :O

Supposedly taking a nap is supposed to help with the dazed moodlet. I haven't tested it in my own game though

I feel the same way about those steps when I build lol

Did you see how op Micro Homes are ?

you can block visitors from using your computers if u choose the lock option so only the household or certain sims can use it

45:18 please raise those windows lol

You can press > and < on your keyboard to rotate your stairs fyi

With the newest update on console (1.21) (PS4) cross platform gallery sharing has been added, does this interest you? Is it an update worth making a video about or sharing some of your created sims? Love the content and thanks for the guides.

Your female friend gave you an offer and "When you showed her..... she said: Why is it so big... and yeah you came to realize: its one of the biggest flaws.... " Remember no woman ever said "it's too big or its a flaw" so no matter how big it is, be happy with what you have and enjoy your time.

Once you're a teen, are you stuck with whatever conflict resolution? I couldn't figure out a way to raise it because I never got a chance to do the relationship fixing interactions.

I wanted to ask, when you play the game one your own time, do you purchase the satisfaction rewards that locks your needs? If so does it ever get boring?

Is there a limit to rewatching? Because this might be ummm- 3 or 4th time I think...

Well, since you mention about exploiting (since you spammed the brush teeth interaction), you can exploit the collector aspiration by dragging crystals/metals/frogs/etc. on your sim's inventory (unless you want to do elements aswell). I know it's cheating, but it's funny how they didn't fix this XD

What are the little blue numbers in the bottom left corner?

It doesn't matter how fast he can learn... The only thing that really matter is how strong he is at the end.

This is awe-sim! xD

Character values guidelines cause I think the pack parenthood should have small tips to steer your sim in a right direction.

you know you're able to rotate things with pushing the [ , ] and [ . ] Buttons on your Keyboard. Also you can shring or enlarge things with [ ´ ] and [ ß ]

Does your community have a Discord? There's a lot of really good stuff in this LP/Guide, but there's some other short-cuts you didn't discover that can make this much easier. Like, to the point where you can clear all the scout badges in 3-5 days.

Where do I download your builds?

Modular needs queue WHEN?!

I’d like to get the personality thing in sims 2 like you can make the nice or mean neat or sloops. I’d just like for my sims to stop singing to each other when they are married and living together it’s kinda annoying ☹️ my sims never shut up I’m glad they fixed the random knitting thing it’d be nice if they fixed the singing and give us cool woohoo scenes like sims 2, I wouldn’t have a problem if they did something like sims 2, add a little story I’m not a story maker so yeah plz give me a story to play through

3 years late to the party but I have adhd so I actually would do my homework on the school bus ride to school. If you think that's irresponsible yes it is but that's what happens when you have untreated adhd you can only every do stuff you don't want to do on the strictest of timelines. I'm going to be getting treated for adhd starting this year but this was 13 years overdo.

oh, to write a book called "apocalypse tomorrow" in Jan 2020...

Best way for money and fame with no cheats is PAINTING. Writing doesn't get you famous, fishing takes forever and so does planting.

😆 It sounds like he's drunk.
