This is LITERALLY how all my sims saves go. There's even an official 50s Housewife/Homemaker Challenge on MTS. It's so hard! No leftovers allowed, fresh cooked food EVERY meal, host a party every FRIDAY in game, every kid gets a bday party,, etc. I even make it harder by trying to get perfect todlers and children without actually controlling them, only influencing them with my parent skill. I do control the teens but only to apply for scholarships and to rebel so my parents can master the parenting aspiration. I even require my "main" parent master ALL "domestic" traits. It is so fun!!

@@oats1932 cooking (ofc), baking, mixology, gardening are the basic ones. Gourmet cooking, flower arranging, knitting and cross-stich are good if you have a few packs. I also like to add singing and dancing so that my sim can host better parties. And, to really lean into stereotypes, I reserve fishing and handiness (also fabrication and juice fizzing) for my 'dad' sim. If you want an easier time influencing the kids also try and develop the research&debate skill to atleast 7.

I usually have the Sim in the homemaker role prepare party size meals when they have some extra time and just stick them in the fridge. That way when everyone gets hungry, they can just grab something. It's really challenging to try and get everyone to sit down for a proper meal (since they get up and move around anyways) and they never seem to be hungry at the same time.

Thats where the parenthood pack is a godsend. You can set the table and call to meal and they will all sit at the table.

when this is just your usual play style and now you learn this is an actual challenge

I have a homemaker save that goes pretty similarly, but mama has help. It's "set" in a 50s style home. Mama gets up at around 4 or 5 every morning to serve breakfast, dad is in the military, and they have a daughter. Mama is a freelance writer, though, so she also has to do that during the day when the toddler's asleep. They used to have a live-in maid to help, but she fell in love and got married and moved out to start her own family. So, dad's older (spinster) sister moved in to take over. She's a lot bossier than their former maid, so there's some tension. Dad is preparing to go to war, so there may be some drastic changes soon. 😬

On top of that Dad's dad (Grandpa) had lost his wife when Kid was a baby, and then he passed just a day or two before Dad. So, Dad's younger, University-aged sister will be moving in, too, since she was left all alone. I'm still very shocked that we lost him. I didn't expect that at all, honestly. Oh! I almost forgot...Mom is pregnant with their second child, which she found out the day he left. 😭

There’s the ‘Perfectly Pristine’ one.

Having a homemaker sounds exciting and all, but I prefer my sims to split everything 50/50. Sometimes one of them stays at home doing more, but the other one will tend to pull their weight too, that way they both can have enough time to do things like go on dates, work on their skills, go to the gym etc.

Dinner dishes, homework, baths, stories, time with the hubby than time to myself. That's after dinner

When wemon did this all they had coccain in soda so don’t feel bad if you have a hard time sober 😂

yes, I have done this challenge, with a dog and chickens (1950's style) breakfast on the table at 7am dinner on the table at 6pm. kids and animals needs met, bucket and line laundry. She also had to have a dinner party once a week. Teenage girls were required to help around the house but the boys didn't have to. The husband had the romantic trait and was not denyed. So the kids just kept coming. Daughters married off as soon as they were old enough and all the boys went off to the millitary. I ended up with 9 kids and played for 3 generations the 50's 60's and 70's with a change in home technology and social changes. I sometimes pick it back up, but omg its a struggle.

I love challenges like this. I remember in Sims 3 where my Sims didn't have a butler and maid for ones I had one male Sim going to work while his wife staid home. I ended up finding it really interesting to look after the household, the cooking and the garden. It felt rather satisfying to have everything done by 5 so that even dinner could be served in time. Of course since cleaning was a skill back then she eventually ended up with being a speed cleaner and cook which meant she had even gmmore time left for other things, such as taking care after the children with their homework once they got home.

I just love the way you open your videos!! My kids think I’m crazy when I repeat it and try n sound like you. 😂😂 Sending laughs from Cali USA 🇺🇸

You always have such a good eye for making your builds look cohesive without matching every color personally I turn everything the color black so that it matches and I'm realizing that you have a real neck for making things look like they go together without matching them

“Go to bed you little Shit” got me laughing 😂

Right now I'm staying home with the kids and going to college in my 30's. I'm going to try this in The Sims. Sounds challenging 😂

This made me remember a place I was working. A mom came in with two kids in a stroller and a dog all while being pregnant. Super mom right there

"So I thought today, we would play through- HEY! Go to bed you little sh*t." -Whiny Brit

WhinyBrit yelling at her sims to get on with it as time is ticking The Sim in their head thinking: I can't do it all at once! (freeze in fear of their God) lol

Also you said you don't have kids but the" hey go to bed you little s***" was absolutely on point. So I think you're ready. 🤣🤣🤣

This is my usual gameplay, I can’t seem to get away from it after all these years!

this is just a regular sim playthrough for me lol

I’d rather not play out my real life in the Sims 😬😂 “Guys breakfast is ready…oh no Cynthia, not you” -that’s extremely realistic 🤣🤣

I don't think you have made one bad video. I find your constant use of foul language and saucy carry on sense of humour, refreshingly relatable as a fellow foul mouthed Brit.

I absolutely adore family gameplay. I do not have laundry stuff. But I'm often times having one parent be very close to a kid in a homemaker role. Though I have also done unconventional ones. I had Alien siblings where one was an adult and the other a teenager in a tiny home. That was fun

I have that laundry pack and the bust the dust, but I seriously never use them. My sims have enough drama without dealing with laundry or other cleaning nonsense. Best for me is wash dishes, or throw it all in the trash. I don't care. I give all my toddlers a tablet so they can learn on their own, and they get the independent trait when I age them to toddler in the first place. So hands off.

Most of my saves have atleast one sim home doing all the house work. My most played save recently was just the storyline of and 18 year old with really conservative parents that got pregnant by her bf and so they got married. She was a housewife and when she and her husband were adults I made the husband cheat and so they go a divorce. She’s now remarried with a step kid to a sim I named Kamaji Kamisato. It was actually quite fun to play with her.

I really love your videos!! Thank you for great content! 🥰🥰🥰

i love these videos! you voice is so mesmerizing idk why but i love it hahaha

I have a homemaker legacy household with 6 kids and tbh I think I got the stay at home mom thing down, just make a party size dish every morning and afternoon and people can grab and go, give them the neat trait so they have the option of cleaning frenzy, and since there’s so many kids they all kinda raise each other lmao

oh my god i thought the title said homwrecker and i was like literally all of my sims are 💀💀

i call babysitters and nannies while the parents are still in the house, i could never do this

I’m new to your channel & love to watch your videos to escape my housewife/momma life on my free time & I stumbled across THIS 😭😭 I love it though 🥲💛 love your videos!!!

i don't have kids either but i used to work as a live-in nanny and this is very accurate lol. there's NEVER enough time in the day

I have three children and even though it's difficult to do this on a daily basis as a stay-at-home mom, The Sims makes it even harder to do than real life. 🤣

I've tried this challenge once before, but I got bored quickly and had the sim that was supposed to be a stay-at-home mom get a job.

Never seen or tried it as a challenge, but I have thought about it. I tend to micro manage every sim in the household, so it would be a fun way to only be able to control the main sim. If you really hate yourself, try with all lot challenges enabled, in a haunted house, (lot traits: cat hangout, dog hangout and vampire nexus). Laundry and dust enabled, of course, and you can't look at the other family members needs, or control them in any way, you can only influence them through the main sim.. Now, that would be a challenge! But yes, a small house is key! I made it to 20 kids in the 100 baby challenge, and I made a hyper efficient and compact 'factory', lol. The less they have to walk to get to things, the better.

This actually seems fun, I always have perfect hard working sims who all have jobs. But I never play as a housewife

It takes literally half sim week for my sims to have a breakdown 😹😹😹 so by Wednesday they are depressed and exhausted just like real life 😹😹😹😹 even more so with the baby update , you should try this again with the updated babys , it only takes a day for a breakdown 🙈

The way you’re going off on your sims 😂😂😂

Hi Karla. I have been binge watching while I am laid up again but it is my favorite thing to do. I missed your whit lol. Frank snickers the second he realizes your on. Can never get enough of your videos. I hope all is well with you my friend. Well on to the next episode please take care and stay safe your loyal fans Michelle and Frank

Everytime one of my sims has a freelance job or smth like that I play them as the homemaker bc they are, you know, home. And their jobs tend to take less time or time that can be meted out throughout the day. I always think its pretty fun but usually the other parent will help with homework or something with the kids still

oh hi, thanks for posting this video!

This challenge seems like alot of fun!

I did this accidentally. My first married couple were a mixologist (for the snagglefluster) and a writer (for the book of life). She never got a regular job, so she did all the cooking and cleaning up after the kids. I don't have any dlc, so there isn't a much for her to do, but she just had twins. Looks like dad is about to quit his job and make money by woodworking lol

I tried this after your video and it was one of the harder sim challenges I've done 😆

This was relaxing to watch! But is the tub you have base game or a specific pack? I own everything except one kit and werewolves and high-school

This is how I run my game in the Sims 3 😂 three kids, two parents. mum and dad work in the political career. If there's no breakfast, mum or dad (whoever has more energy) gets up at 4:30 so breakfast is done by 5:20-5:30 (they take forever). Everyone else gets up at 5:00 so they can shower, go to the bathroom, brush their teeth, make their beds and do whatever else they have to and have breakfast by seven (I also do this because the other parent needs to help the toddler and call a nanny). Everyone leaves by 8:30, and while their gone, I set up a cue for them for when they get home if they didn't finish something before they left. They get home at around 5:00 usually. Whoever has more energy cooks dinner if there is none while the kids do their homework. Toddler and one of the parents have first showers, then everyone else. After dinner, I make sure everyone is clean, fed, tasks like homework or after work jobs, toddler gets put to bed with the kids, then the parents do whatever they have to before they head off to bed themselves. This is all to save up for a better house, a pool, and a car

I haven't done it in Sims 4 yet because we need all the money we're getting, but I did this in Sims 1 and 2 because I'm uneployable irl so my simself does it ...But there's always a point where we switch who has a job and build mine up cause my waifu gets burnt out and stops going to work at all or throws wants to quit

Yep its my reality life with kids ✌️😂

it said no protection was used did they wind up pregnant again with baby number 3

And if we wanted a snack that isn't a normal part of lunch we have to pay for it also

This is how i play…?

;)

I know this is from a year ago, but I have to say that's why I dont have laundry pack or the cleaning one. I do this kind of gameplay a lot because i like to play legacy families and it's much easier without vacuuming and laundry lol. It also gives the mom sim more time with the children

your voice and the way you talk are exactly like Ellbat its so strange

Don’t forget finding time to play one on one with kids. As someone who lives this, there is never enough time in the day to do everything you want. 🥲 I still play like this in the sims though so obviously something about this life is addicting 🤣💜
