Have you tried the homemaker challenge? // Sims 4 challenge

oh hi thanks for watching my video do you like watching sims sleep well if you do never mind because this video doesn't have anything to do with sleeping sims in today's video i thought i would um have a little bit of a test really i mean the sims 4 is a life simulator after all so today i am just going to try and simulate one of my sims lives as a stay-at-home mom and housewife the sims 4's got a lot of dlc and some of it is to try and make our sims lives a bit more tedious you know with things like vacuuming and laundry so i thought today i would play through hey go to bed you little i thought today i would um play through the life of a sim who's just trying to keep it all together you know just try and manage the house i tried doing this once before where i tried playing as a housewife who had to like cook all the meals for her kids take the dog for a walk keep the house clean it was actually really difficult it was quite hard staying on top of all that so today i'm gonna do the same thing and see how i get on i don't have any pets this time around so it might be a bit easier but we have in this little house a married couple this is cynthia and this is her wife trisha trisha works full-time cynthia is a full-time stay-at-home parent they have two kiddies they have a child's son derek who goes to school and they also have a little toddler called mila so we're just going to see how best we can manage this household i mean i don't have children of my own maybe this will be some good insight for me but uh it's monday morning and at eight a.m we've got the wife going to work and we also have the boy going to school so i do have a few objectives that cynthia has to do to ensure we have what i would consider a fairly smooth running house and those objectives are to cook three meals a day for the whole family keep on top of the laundry keep on top of the cleaning the vacuuming try and teach the toddler to say please and thank you teach her some manners maybe do some potty training just cover all bases really so we're going to see how we get on but for now everyone's asleep let's just wait until a decent hour now i'm thinking cooking in the sims 4 takes a couple hours the wife and son are going away at 8am so they are gonna need their food cooked at about seven to give them time to eat a lot planning going into this which means probably we should start making breakfast at about five a.m it's currently 4 30. is it too early to wake up you know i might just get her up now because as i said the last time i attempted to do this i failed so this time we're gonna try and serve eggs and toast for everybody i want to try and hit that three meals a day keeping the house clean because i think we can do it i think we can have breakfast served in time and we also need to allow enough time to get the toddler out of bed so she can have breakfast as well so let's start the day off well do we have breakfast served oh not quite yet it's already half five it's only eggs and toast cynthia try not to this up okay breakfast is served right okay we've got breakfast on the table let's um call everyone to meal everyone needs to wake up now anyway so guys breakfast is ready come get it oh no cynthia not you well i suppose maybe you could have a quick bite before waking up the baby giving her some breakfast i guess so we've got the kid fed that's one thing done all right cynthia let's go wake up the baby the kid is really hungry i mean you're not doing that great of a job right now so let's wake her up and then get a serving for mila all right the kids finished breakfast mila is very hungry yeah i know that's why i'm taking her some food breakfast in bed it's like hotel service looks like the kids her pants as well so we're gonna have to do something about that why can't you give the baby her food for christ's sake don't make me use a high chair god we're gonna have to aren't we okay the toddler is fed maybe we should put the kids network on for her and then we have to put away these toys clean up all the plates hey this is not for you to sit and watch tv okay trish has gone to work the kids should be going to school now yeah okay great cynthia has quite a few things cued up but at some point cynthia you're gonna have to change this kid's diaper as well no you don't have to put away every single toy that the kids got out on display you have to tidy up and it looks like the toddler's got a strop on because trish has gone to work probably because she's standing around in a dirty nappy as well cynthia you know you might want to hurry up with that cleaning especially if you want to have lunch ready no one said this was gonna be easy to be honest i'm just glad we got breakfast done in time i mean this is further than what we did last time i tried this i think last time i didn't allow enough hours though to actually cook and give sims time to eat their food right cynthia come on we've got we've got a diaper to change here and then probably we should give mia a bubble bath and also potty train mila derrick started a food fight causing most of the students to join in we're still cleaning up he should help clean teach him some responsibility right let's wash this child and then maybe we'll do a bit of laundry after we've potty trained her oh cute cute okay let's potty train the kid then we'll do some laundry what else is there to do i mean the home is pretty well vacuumed but maybe we could do a bit of vacuuming around after we serve lunch okay acquired the potty skill great success okay cynthia you may as well um search pockets and then do the laundry while the kid is doing her business okay we'll put a wash on and then we will sit the kids maybe we'll give food to mila for lunch and then we'll go back and actually wash the laundry maybe no not sit and watch tv you lazy it's lunch time give food to mila why will you not use this high chair what is your problem what's wrong what's going on what about this highchair instead ah look at her playing the little xylophone oh she's a bit tired though maybe we'll just give her some crackers and then put her down for a nap or something just give her some animal crackers there we go and then seeing as it is still lunch time you can have just a very quick ham and cheese sandwich there we go just super quick meal and then we will do the laundry we'll actually we will put mila down for a nap because she's pretty tired we'll put mila to sleep we'll use the toilet and then we'll actually turn the washing machine on there we go okay i'm actually really impressed she says i genuinely am really impressed with myself for sorting out breakfast and lunch so far it sounds easy but when i did it last time it was actually really difficult getting my sim to do everything within in like a timely manner okay needs a full laundry's just about to get done then maybe we can vacuum around the house so that we have those little sparkles on the floor that's right that's right and it looks like there is still some more laundry in this basket so we might be doing two rounds today or maybe we'll save the other load for tomorrow that's right keep a clean home i feel like i'm playing in like the 1950s or something but actually this is a reality for so many people cleaning up after everyone's and then maybe we can clean up this bowl once you've finished hoovering this place is looking pretty clean you did leave your plate out though which was a bit shitty of you so we're gonna have to wash that up the boy's gonna be home soon so you're gonna have to help him with his homework in fact the boy is gonna be home at three o'clock so fairly soon is that washing still going it's nearly finished derek has returned home with a school project oh great oh and it looks like trish is home as well okay well i don't really want trisha helping out um because this is all about you know being responsible for everything so maybe what i'll do is let's get the school project out and then we will wait can she not like help him with with his homework with his projects here we go assist with projects yeah you can help him with this project while the toddler's sleeping and before everyone's gonna want their dinner that's right that's right we'll get this project done you're gonna have an eight plus in class don't worry about it derek and then after we've had dinner i'm thinking we should probably encourage eric to do his homework acquired the rocket science skill okay you know what i am noticing they're actually taking a lot longer to do this project i think probably because they're just chatting so you how about you just go and serve dinner go and serve some tofu tacos because you're making this take longer than it needs to be the kid can do his little project on his own and then we can serve dinner right let's think of our jobs what else is there to do we have to make sure everyone has dinner finished doing the laundry so we need to put that in the dryer we also need to encourage the kid to do his homework once he's finished his projects and then also i did want to try and teach mila like some manners maybe but we'll see how we get on with like serving dinner and stuff shall we okay tacos are served we will grab a serving for mila and then maybe give food to her in her high chair why are you putting the toddler to bed she doesn't need to go to sleep she needs to wake up and have her food oh i guess she is quite tired okay fine let her sleep let her sleep we'll just call everyone to meal and then we'll put one in a sack lunch for mila for when she eventually wakes up oh good the kid finished his uh little project great great okay let's um put that food away and then we will influence to do homework there we go perfect you got to do your homework now kid i fed you watered you now it's your time your turn to do your part of the bargain and bring home some good grates oh he is good though washing up his own little plate okay she's telling him he has to do his homework great and now let's unload and move the laundry to the dryer perfect and then we'll put this load of laundry in the washing machine and then we'll dry that laundry god we are on a roll is there anything else we need to do i wanted to teach the baby please and thank you but she's kind of sleeping now dinner's done all of the meals are done oh we do have quite a lot of cleaning up to do but otherwise i mean pretty good the baby's sleeping the kid's doing his homework everyone's fed all of the washing is done or at least it's on the way to be done yep laundry basket's empty no more cleaning need doing and it's only 9 p.m well on that note we may as well celebrate with a cheeky woohoo while the kid finishes up his homework are you just gonna go in and ask her to woohoo with you right in front of the boy you're just gonna yeah no i guess she is yeah it'd be funny if the kid reacted like oh okay i think the kids finished his homework now yep homework complete these two were just having a bit of a woohoo and then i expect they'll get some sleep and that would be all of our tasks of the day done i can't believe how smoothly that went that wasn't even that stressful i was pretty stressed the first time i tried it maybe it was because the first time i tried it i had three children a bigger house to walk around i had like a two-story house and i had a dog that i had to walk but you know what i call that a win i would love to know in the comments if you have tried this before i don't really know if it's like an existing challenge i guess we'll call it i don't know the homemaker challenge so it's not specific to housewife but yeah let me know in the comments if you have tried playing like this how many days did you manage to do before dropping the ball and by that i mean how many days did you successfully manage to do all three meals plus housework and taking care of the kids before you like missed it before you missed a meal time or something but yeah i'm gonna end this video here thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed it if you did please like and subscribe you know i love it when you do that and i'll see
