I tried to get rich in The Sims just by knitting

this video is brought to you by ea game changers i'm not being paid they just sent me the pack early feels good to say that again it's good to be home today we're checking out nifty knitting the new stuff pack for the sims 4. this is a fan voted stuff pack so for like what feels like a year we've been voting on all of the things for the pack like the theme all the bill items the cast items like we have slowly but surely been the ones to choose everything to go into this game and it's finally out or well it's out tomorrow and so i thought what better way to celebrate a new sims game coming out than um rags to riches being poor and trying to make money by knitting because here's the thing this new pack comes with a new skill and also a new way to make money called plopsy it's like etsy you can sell your sims creations on the internet and i think this is fitting i'm kind of excited to give it a shot so we're going to try this rags to riches but our only income will come from plopsy riches is kind of a strong word it's going to be more like rags to house rags too i've got a place to live but it'll work out i made this sim name lexi fields i think she's very cool i tried to use mostly nifty knitting stuff but also we didn't really have most of the cast unlocked so i had things like this tank top and these jeans and then i i filled in with like some tattoos from university all that good stuff this is one of the new hairstyles there aren't that many hairstyles in the pack but i kind of liked this one it kind of intrigued me so i picked it she's got the new lady of the knits aspiration she's also gloomy creative and loves the outdoors i gave her that trait cause i figured um we're not gonna have a roof so we probably need it oh god should we pick spring so we don't we might freeze to death still in the spring we'll be fine it's fine we're totally we're fine okay but i'm gonna get here i'm gonna get into our lot we're gonna give ourselves zero simoleons and then we're just gonna roll with it yep it's time let's get started the aspiration seems like it'll be pretty doable for us knit for five hours start three knitting projects while inspired knit on a rocking chair i mean we're gonna have to uh get some money before we can get started there but we'll be fine everything's fine and we can just use the mailbox to sell our things like we got this it's fine maybe for now we could just fish till we get enough money to start buying like what we need and slowly but surely some things should pop up like collectibles that we can dig up and we're counting on that because we need to like have collectible money to buy things like a fridge a bed the little knitting object and i don't actually know how expensive things in this pack are like this is completely my first time playing this so i don't know like what the pricing of the new stuff is oh 35 simoleons for that fish okay that is better than no simoleons which is what i had before an upgrade part oh it's 120 oh thank god thank you lexi let's have her go see if she can try and catch these things another fish seven that was weak i'm gonna give you a zero out of ten for that one it's okay we'll get there oh i got two things from that all right five simoleons ten small wow high rollers over here okay so we gotta prioritize some things right like we need to have a bed i haven't actually looked at any of the new furniture yet so this is kind of sad that i'm gonna miss out the rocking chairs are only 120 oh thank god okay well we need to have the knitting basket 55 oh that's good and it's cute should i buy a rocking chair we don't need the rocking chair yet that would be really dumb there's so many cute things i'm so excited okay well we need to have a place to eat the fridge is probably a good bet or should i get a bed first no we should buy let's buy a bed okay we everything else we can get elsewhere like we can use fridges from other places we can do other things elsewhere but we do need a bed unfortunately i don't have enough money to knit oh no we gotta go find some more collectibles maybe we should go to the gym and then collect around here because then we could shower pee there's a paparazzi member here lyric weeks i might talk to you so i don't have to be so alone that's good i'm going to start looking around and see if anything pops up that we can harvest oh it's not looking good maybe someone will cook some food on one of the like picnic tables and we could eat it at least maybe okay some things are spawning in now just had to give them a second to show up clearly oh someone did make food oh thank god who are you lilith pleasant you're just grilling away thank you so much can i take this stuff why are you making so much food what should i have baked potato look at how much she's cooking she's still going too that's not bad all right i'm going to start selling some of these things because i need the money we can at least do some knitting now i think which will be great which one should i knit first blue bear oh where are you going wait i'm so excited this is my first time wow honestly i'm impressed with the animation it must have been tricky i wonder how long it takes i kind of want to stay here just in case because then i can eat more food before i go home because like i don't have any food anywhere else but here oh i got one we can make socks now wow it's riveting content we have so many options for socks that we can knit oh hanging plant holders mailbox cozies oh my god i want one please start it i'm sorry i know you're tired but please this is so important i'm getting really excited about this of course we still got to sell all these things on plopsy we're not doing great i'm sorry can i come eat some of this food please i know it's 4 a.m i made a big mistake i also need to use the toilet while i'm here oh dear i might as well shower also i'm she's gonna pass out this is a terrible mistake that i'm making right now i'm sorry i'm so sorry don't pass out i'm going home i promise i'm sorry i'm sorry please don't pass out i would feel so embarrassed bad let's just take a nap in the middle of the day we're gonna sleep all day now oh wait hang on you know what i might do oh i got given earbuds that's good let me well let me breed my frogs first but then let's list these things on plopsy you can donate them to charity oh i listed them all on plopsy hopefully that works out for us maybe you can go back to bed don't nap sleep lexi i'm so sorry and it's snowing i don't have a roof oh no yeah i didn't think this through should i buy myself like walls maybe three of them if we're feeling fancy oh maybe no no hang on sorry what if what if we had like oh god there's my roof i just i where did my bed go hello did you just tell me you saw that it disappeared hello come back where did my bed go do you think if i go to manage worlds and come back it'll come back i don't have the money for this i will cheat it back in if i have to oh there it is okay i was gonna say what hello well she's probably gonna freeze but it's better than nothing oh i can breed another frog okay here we go 131 i probably should focus on buying more walls before i try and get anything else huh yeah i wonder how much my things on plopsy will get me i'm feeling kind of nervous about it maybe i'll talk to this guy i don't have any friends and i'm really lonely please please talk about best bait oh yeah can you imagine someone on the street is being like hey thoughts on fishing your first time meeting and they just won't stop talking about fish bait that would be kind of weird but it's okay maybe we could date that guy i don't know just thinking any food anybody anywhere any free food no okay that's fine i didn't want any anyway we're doing all right for ourselves now folks we can probably buy a fridge maybe even a toilet if we're feeling fancy you know i keep forgetting we have multi select i don't mean to favorite those oops wait did someone make chili or did you make chili oh i made franks and beans what are you knitting now hello okay i think we need to have her go um go to the bathroom and take a shower we're not doing great right now all right we got 500 simoleons if i'm feeling fancy i might even be able to get us like all the walls what did you spend money on more knitting at least it gets her fun up when she knits but she just started a new project instead of like finishing the old one i don't know whatever i'm going home i think that's kind of weird that they autonomously start a new project instead of autonomously working on one if they're like gonna autonomously knit you'd think they would start working on the one they have to finish still again you just started another one onto oh my god um see do you see what i mean why does she keep just knitting autonomously all right i'm gonna buy us a fridge i might buy us a toilet also maybe a sink now we can function as humans there we go cooped up you need some time outdoors what is this not good enough for you how much more outdoors can you get oh my god oh my god oh she made a hanging plant maybe i'll keep that you know what i want it yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna keep that i can make rugs now list that on plopsy why is no one ordered anything from me am i not good enough for you people i'm gonna pee my pants dang it it's a good thing i got a toilet now not to brag but i've got a toilet these days all right we're all caught up with all of her like autonomous knitting projects i still don't have any money but i got another frog so i can buy another wall soon i'll have a full house oh i can buy one wait no i shouldn't buy one more because i need to buy my knitting stuff oh she's knitting autonomously again what is she making now it doesn't say is it gonna be a surprise it's a very slow return with this knitting ordeal i mean i made all these things a while ago so what happens if i were to just like sell it in my inventory 37 only but then if i list it i guess we'll see what we get back from it in a few days what if no one buys anything that i've listed on plopsy what if it was all for nothing i've been spending 10 simoleons per item too i don't have 10 simoleons per item so far i've literally made all of my money from foraging that's not the point oh is that my friend oh it is oh good maybe i could talk to him while he's here oh no he's leaving never mind that's fine i didn't i didn't want to talk to you anyway it's fine i'm all good i'm i like being lonely so it's fine 208 that's enough for some walls 234 all right this is pretty good now we're now we're talking now i can have all my walls i might even make it one tile bigger we got a new door it's only 50 simoleons too so we could use that that actually looks really cute well i wouldn't say the house as a hole looks cute but the one door that we have that's real nice yeah i needed a rocking chair too so she can knit in a rocking chair to get our goals complete i only have one simoleon oh god i can think this through and she's all miserable because oh no we need to go talk to somebody tomorrow there's nobody around yet to talk to i know it's only 6am but there's like nobody out yet please i'm so lonely please anybody there's somebody hello please i'm so lonely please talk to me please no don't leave oh god how about you come on there we go finally someone to talk to jessica you don't you don't have any idea how much you mean to me jessica it's so good to see you she left jessica i needed you jessica how about this person come on oh brandt it's so good to see you show off knitted clothing oh that's kind of cute maybe he'll try and buy my stuff for me if i show it off to him hey i gotta shop on plopsy if you wanna if you wanna pop on over i can get you the link if you're ever interested just let me know i have made zero sales so yeah you don't care about me about a rug we can make ourselves a rug i want a dark green rug come on forget this guy 60 simoleon you think i'm made of money level five we aren't even playing in like a micro home or anything i probably could put it on a micro home so that we get skills up faster but like she's already level five and we've barely done anything best i you think i can give you a thousand simoleons i don't even have a thousand simoleons that was quite rude of her to be honest look at my new rug that looks so nice i'm gonna use that all the time it's not counting is living it's not counting it's listening to musical we knit because she's knitting while listening to her earbuds but for some reason it's not counting as this for the aspiration i don't get it i'm just going to cheat it i don't even care i'll just give it to myself we have no offers on anything we've put on plopsy yet a lot of these things expire on friday i feel really disappointed i tried so hard and no one wanted to buy any of my things well my house has a window now and a door into the bathroom still no lights we're still uh lacking the lights oh wait i got i got another frog money hang on we can get lights well that's an improvement see i can teach him to knit oh oh we're in love i can't believe how happy i feel about this it's such like a little thing but look how cute it is oh do i gain knitting skill from doing this i don't even gain skill from teaching anyone else how to knit well that doesn't make much sense you're nothing without me it's fine i got my social up and we needed that so it's okay wait i heard a noise reticulating spleens would like to purchase blue bear beanie on plopsy just i get to i can sell my first thing on flopsy ship on flopsy come on come on come on come on wake up ship on flopsy ship it on flopsy why won't she ship it on the she won't do it please it won't work she just started knitting something else i i'm getting really frustrated right now if i go to manage worlds and come back oh wait is my mailbox backwards is that why hang on no it isn't this is a scam why wouldn't she ship it on flopsy i i pressed on list i'm giving up i'm just i'm just gonna sell it from my inventory i don't even care i'm not upset anymore i feel like i got scammed i'm really upset this whole plan is not working how i wanted it to i am choosing to believe that that one that that particular item was glitched and it's not all of flopsy that's glitched because i really hope it's not all popsicles glitch because i would feel really sad if it was once i have enough money i'm even gonna paint the walls it'll be great do you think i can afford to paint the walls now i said once i have enough money i'm even gonna paint the walls ah i think that was worth it doesn't look very good i should have painted the interior walls first huh i've had zero luck on plopsy i got so excited when someone wanted to buy my thing but then but then nobody wanted to buy my thing browse plopsy how come everyone else can make cool things come you'll buy things from these people but not me king of appaloosa gardener gloria grim reaper social bunny love to knit one of the usernames is love to knit pineappleguy87 unassuming llama oh my god the usernames are great can i afford to buy floors yet yes i can oh boy it's looking really good team shout out to my frogs for all their great help we're level seven still can't get anyone to buy anything the one time someone wanted to buy one of my things it didn't even work i have built an entire house on frog money i can't even list it on plopsy i don't have any money level two of the gardening skill just from harvesting other things out here that's actually really funny just from running around getting plants from the middle of nowhere i've got level two of the gardening skill level seven of the knitting skill still can't sell anything i sold my socks for 23. i'm not even gonna try and list my socks i'll take the three simoleon profit and just leave i'm trying to think of like what items i could buy to make my life better i'm like can you get some decorations but then i realized i don't have a shower and maybe i should buy a shower before i do anything like that i still can't even afford a shower i'll just wash my hands this is much harder than i thought it would be then you broke the sink oh you idiot sorry that was mean i don't me i didn't mean that i just i was lashing out oh someone must buy my socks no my of mine would like to purchase blue and gray dotted crew socks on plopsy no you mean you're kidding not again it won't work why wouldn't it work why won't you ship my socks on flopsy i am taking all my mods out of my game i am taking my mods out just to see doubt i hate this game i'm sorry i don't i'm mods are out we're coming back in maybe it was like ui cheats or something i updated it already but of course i didn't update it for the new pack so you maybe it was ui cheats all right let's try this again no no okay that yeah all right that's cool what about a different mailbox come on oh oh it's the mailbox oh it worked oh my god i alright that was a really simple fix and i feel stupid i don't know why i didn't try that sooner i've only had two options opportunities so it's not my fault well i sold my first thing you want me to gift collectibles i don't want to i don't want to i don't want to gift anybody any collectibles i need them i need the money you think i'm made of money i can successfully gift three collectibles unbelievable you're getting socks all right if you're getting presents they're gonna be socks oh there's a person right here i can give you my socks hello buddy maybe he'll date me this way i mean that was our plan all along as to join household oh my god maybe maybe not quite gift gift come on here are your new socks i hope you like them i worked really hard on them oh oh thank god it worked he did like my socks all right can you leave now i'll give you another one tomorrow i'm feeling a lot better things are turning around maybe i'll sell something else soon maybe just maybe oh it's love day oh my god this couldn't have been better for us okay hang on someone else wants to buy something i heard the noise oh no no one no wait gnome hive mind replied i'm not sure i'm if i meant to buy this but i don't hate it thanks i guess oh oh i'm feeling pretty upset right now maybe i could give someone this hat that didn't that didn't let me sell it i was so excited for someone to want to buy my things and then no five mind had to go and shoot me down acting like it was an accident i feel really disappointed all right let me see if we can invite over our almost boyfriend l'oreal l'oreal come here please thank you very much i have a pink hat for you hello good to see you this is the one that i couldn't sell i hope you like it oh he did oh good show off knitted clothing come on do you like my sweater there we go that was easy oh i don't think he likes my clothing maybe i should try and flirt with him this is such a classic sims behavior this is the literally the first guy i met i'm trying to date the first person i met we met one guy on the first day we started playing and then we were like yep that's the one we're gonna date him and not even just the first person i met it's like the first person i saw it's okay he's cute well i haven't seen his face up close actually well he's just frowning right now it's not his fault he's he's really cute it's awkward maybe i should stop trying to flirt with it maybe i should try and knit something else i'll give him some more socks i can make onesies now i don't have any kids i shouldn't have kids for a long time oh you know what else i can do is buy a shower i'll make her clean this up and then i'll buy a shower that'll be great i'm gifting him these socks there we go all right i need to knit eight more things still but it's okay this aspiration is pretty easy all right let me get myself a shower knit decorations oh i can make the octopus can i have a pink one please please please please please please please get out of my she's oh i'm knitting on the toilet oh my god i mean whatever works right i don't blame you she's just gonna sit there at that until you finish the whole thing okay okay did i finish it look at my octopus oh my god i've been waiting so long for this moment i love you so much can i name it dang it i hate this game maybe we could have a complete octopus business where we only knit and sell octopi i'm using frogs to fund my knitting habits i just keep oh mega todd these are expensive these sell for a lot of money it looks like we could just maybe we could sell onesies and octopus and that's it no one's bought any more of my presents yet kind of sad oh we can make sweater scarf combos squares that's great yeah i like my rocking chair i i feel happy yeah sell that too we can take our first shower it's a big day okay love day didn't exactly work out for us i know we oh what overheating from being too hot oh i forgot she was wearing her i forgot she was in her cold weather clothes she'll be fine she'll shower and change i haven't saved this whole i've been recording for an hour i haven't saved this whole time that could have been bad look at all the poofs i can make maybe i could get myself a teal one to put in my own house she's knitting on the toilet again oh my god it's fine this one's just for us it's okay we're not gonna sell it dirty plumbing ew you're knitting on your stinky toilet too oh my god there's fly oh no that's so gross clean it yeah we definitely can't sell that poof that's that one's staying here no i think i'll sell it yeah i'll list it i don't mind all right you think we can afford to get like a kitchen how much do these things cost okay so we can have a counter all right well we have a counter we'll get more i'll get there i don't have walls still i forgot about that oh this is a disaster and only two people have tried to buy things from us and only one of them actually worked i think what we've learned is that uh we're not cut out for this oh i've called to inform you that your great great second once removed cousin's friend's grandpa's passed away okay i'm not marrying anybody yet but under what conditions 2 500 okay now wait hang on it took some cheating we didn't make really any knitting money but we can make ourselves a whole house with that like we can be done it's just that money let's do it let's decorate why did i start on the outside first so it doesn't make much sense i finally get money and the first thing i do is decorate the outside like that that we don't have an inside all right let me get us a stove oh we need to have a fire alarm too these are these are not good stoves they're destined for failure how about a little sofa i like these little knitting things but i don't think we can fit them what else comes in the pack let's look at all the items in the pack now it's probably a good chance for us to do that right nifty knitting we could get such cute decorations oh that's expensive nevermind sorry never mind we can't get ex we can't get cute duck that's so big what if i gave us a desk we could eat at the desk too that's actually probably a good idea it was 520 simoleons this desk is cheaper i actually quite like this little couch it's kind of cute what i kind of wanted to do was get like a little table in the corner and then ideally have like a little tv on it and then she can watch tv i don't know if we have the money for that though i am so glad that we have hanging plants now look at how good that looks all right we gotta get some windows though even just like one window like that all right we need to finish up some more i feel like we need to make sure we have at least a piece of furniture right there and like her bedroom needs decorating but honestly it's coming along we've got a real house right now oh we don't have a trash can either oh yeah we need some more money oh i mastered the knitting skill i have become one with the yarn she can now knit child toys and mentor other sims and knitting to help them improve their skills faster oh no my listing expired but someone purchased this someone bought ship on flopsy for a hundred simoleons and it's okay my hanging plant expires oh wait that's hanging so low to the ground just sell it i don't care well my octopus is worth a lot of money i'll take it i'm making a rug for her bedroom i like this door a lot that's a nice door i'm glad they added that oh i thought someone was buying my socks but it didn't it just expired dang it i'll just sell them it's fine i got so excited seeing the pop-up and then it wasn't anything this will come along nicely the room's gonna be cute it's really small but the room will be cute when i'm done i swear i've got a vision i promise maybe i'll make a turtle oh another one expired look at how that doesn't even fit in my house oh it's okay it's all these ones that she was like auto doing she was autonomously knitting all these things that we can't even use i like our little house i think it's cute starlay shoresweetie replies do you make these for a living great craftsmanship i salute to you artisan oh finally someone appreciates my work i forget who the other guy was but they were quite mean to me for no reason but starlight shore sweetie they they understand how much work i put into my knitted craft okay i need to talk to someone again i we're gonna die oh jeffrey hello no please please come back no please all right here's somebody all right that was a close one why are you embarrassed all right we're feeling a lot better now maybe i can shower marketable sims sell items they've crafted for more simoleons yes please give me that point reward thank god it's about time we get some more money honestly look at me all stinky and knitting are you oh my god i thought he wasn't wearing pants for a second i was like hello it's okay he's got pants on false alarm he doesn't like me very much already because i'm sitting here stinking up the place again we're on the toilet knitting again it's like half the time she sits here and knits god i got i heard the plopsy thing i got so excited i just i one of my things expired whatever i'll just sell it i hate this game it's definitely hard to sell things on popsie well she just stopped and started autonomously knitting again you were cooking you weren't you left food on the stove to start knitting oh someone wants to buy my poof my poof sell sell 90 simoleons come on yes oh and she knitted a hanging plant maybe i'll put that in my house somewhere i'll keep that in my bedroom that's nice i really like these hanging plants they're so good i should probably finish my eggs and toast too huh it is a miracle you didn't catch them on fire truly a miracle she just started knitting again oh my god i happened again i keep hearing this plopsy bell and getting so excited and it's never anything it's just my listings expiring devastating truly that's two beanies worthless and we're back on the toilet again oh my god is that bills uh 144 it's fine i have some money those are nice hanging plants maybe i could put them in the corner or something i just realized this part of the aspiration complete five legendary knittables i'm having a hard time getting 10 excellent ones oh dear there we go i got it okay teach another sim to knit what if i just like picked this guy off the street hey dominic do you want to learn how to knit i'll teach you come here look at us i'm getting my social need up i'm getting my aspiration complete i still haven't sold anything on flopsy i definitely thought it'd be a lot easier to make money on popsy than it is now that i've kind of played this pack for like a couple hours i've definitely realized that it's it's not an easy task in fact it's uh kind of hard that's a poor quality sweater right there all right i'm gonna i'm gonna donate that to charity now i feel bad i gave the rug to charity too you know what i quite like this pack i'm gonna finish decorating the house and we can talk about it but now that i've played it for a little bit i think this is what i was expecting i don't think it'll be up everybody's alley like i don't think that every single simmer is gonna like love this pack i do know that i am really enjoying it i might i might have her give this to charity too i don't really like it i can see myself using this a lot i don't think i'll use it all the time as like a career it's kind of hard to make money from knitting but i do think that i can see myself using plopsy to buy stuff a lot and also i like the idea of having sims like knit a sweater for their toddler like i think i'll do that a lot it's just an easy crafting skill it's easy to just have your sims do it while they hang out you can teach your kids how to knit these are all really little things but i think they're nice touches and the items are cute like this rug is great like there's just so many nice things in this pack i really think i'm gonna use it all the time and again i know that not everyone will it might not be your thing and that's okay too if you're not interested in it you don't have to buy it can't even afford my festive felt flowers i want these dang it all right i can put this in the kitchen though at least or in the bedroom wait oh yeah i need some decorations in here it's quite sad in the bedroom i keep getting distracted in like half finishing sentences but the point that i'm trying to make is that i think they did a good job with this pack i think it's what we were expecting i think it's really cute and i see myself using this all the time i think this is gonna fit very seamlessly into my gameplay like i can just picture having so many sims like making the occasional stuffed animal it's just a fun hobby to have and honestly i kind of like that doesn't make you a ton of money because you when you have your sim take up like painting or something you start getting rich really fast and you don't always want to get rich off of painting in the sims like it's kind of fun to have like a reasonable amount of money sometimes that was a legendary knittable this okay well i'll take it there's just some really cute items too like look at that i don't know i'm having a lot of fun only took me two hours to build a house with knitting money i hope you liked the video i'm gonna go make lunch i've got a build coming tomorrow on this pack i'm very excited to use the new items and with that i will see you all tomorrow i don't know why how i ended this video i don't buy do you like this pack let me know in the comments down below i honestly think that this is one of my favorite stuff packs i don't know what it is i just i really like the idea of it
