I like the idea of who is Mayor, they hold all of the money and if they are responsible enough then the people get what they need but if they are corrupt then the city could fall into ruin

I just found your channel yesterday and I’m subscribing. This is the style of gameplay I like. Thank you!

Just found your channel through a mutual and I totally love your vibe! You explain everything super well :) Also thank you so much for this video, been wanting to play rotationally with premades and had no idea how.

I can't wait to see how you update the rules for Enchated by Nature and the Royal Legacy pack!

This is a HUGE new way to play the sims to grown up for me 😯😯

I love this video❤ It broke a lot of things down for me that I did have a questions about❤ Have you or would you do a video that breaks down MC command center? because you touched on some things there that I didn’t know how to use too

Thank you for this! It completely changed the way I play now... I started my rotationnal game this weekend 😊 I found a satelite dish in debug and added it to the Power line & Water tower land so my sims can have cable/internet/cell phone service.

I am like 5 months late, however I have that if a sim buys a lottery ticket, that goes to the mayor/treasury

I recently found a mod (that's perfect for my medieval forever world! lol) that gives you an invisible item that counts as retail surface for B&H! it's by lijou. that could be helpful for creating more types of stores.

I really like the idea of this challenge and the way it plays. But I don't think I could keep up with it. You have to keep track of so much... I'd be done with it really quickly; you have to think everything through. 😅 I'm dizzy with all the rules. Haha... but it's a really well-thought-out idea!

Hello again! I’m truly obsessed with this game mode. I’m still creating my founders by sticking 100% to the rules, as I like everything to be calculated realistically. Thinking about this, shouldn't the founders have at least a couple of skills at level 1 or 2 based on their lore? It could be a mandatory setting at the start, mostly to add more realism. What do you think? Thanks for making me fall in love with The Sims 4 all over its again!

I have a question regarding the SNB mod. I saw the property tax bill. However, I didn’t set it up so I figured the money would just disappear so I turned it to the lowest setting. When the sims pays the property tax where does it go? Or do you go back and give them the money and transfer into the town’s treasury? I hope this makes sense.

@BookloverFantasy92 5 months ago

Can you get a mod that closes each world, or links them? So for example, sims from forgotten hollow couldn’t go to willow creek? But like pick and choose? Does that make sense? So townies not in worlds go everywhere, but sims stay in their own world, or in the linked worlds, like willow creek and new crest together as part of a bigger world. If that makes any sense.

@BookloverFantasy92 5 months ago

Do you put neighbourhood stories on your townies? Or allow them to have babies move into other townie homeless households? Does that work?

@milgamr8 1 year ago

a question : What do you do in the town hall for like activities

@cyandraws8753 1 year ago

I really love the idea of playing rotationally like this! Even though I usually play with just one family and one heir at a time, in a style similar to "Not So Berry," I’m excited to give this a try! ✨ I have just one question: how do you handle the mayor's role and the businesses when the sim who manages them passes away? For instance, if the mayor gets old and dies, who becomes the next mayor?

If the mayor sim has more than one child, once they grow up, do you split the main household and play with each child separately, or do you choose one child to continue the legacy while the others become townies? I’m asking because if each founder has multiple kids, you could end up with a lot of playable sims over a few generations, and I’m curious how to manage all of them!

Hi! I have some questions on expanding worlds. When you open a new world, do you assign a new mayor? And does everything (i.e., utilities, careers, etc.) reset and start over from scratch for that world? I can’t remember if you’ve explained this already so apologies if you have.

@melaninallure2005 1 year ago (edited)

As a base game only could they use the sales table and just keep tabs of the money for taxes?

When you need a high school, but you haven’t unlocked bus stops or train station, how do you add a high school? Can you use the high school in the different world if you have unlocked bus stops but haven’t purchased the world yet? How does that work?
