So you’ve got your channel underway, your sub count is growing at a steady pace and you are getting the views in with your amazing video content and eye-catching channel art, so whats next for the gaming YouTuber? Partnership! Of course this is an optional step, it is by no means necessary or going to actually improve your sub or view count (even if they say they will) in any way. I can tell you categorically, it wont happen. With that said you are probably thinking “what on earth do I need partnership for then!?” Partnership is a means for YouTubers to make some money from their video content, it is as simple as that! People are often misled into thinking they are going to gain thousands of subscribers and views from becoming partnered with a network, this couldn’t be more false. Companies will try to attract potential clients by suggesting things like this, but it is not true. Right, I assume at this point you have decided you would like to consider joining a network! So for the remainder of this article I am going to showcase some good networks and some terrible ones to avoid.
Curse Network or Union for Gamers is a popular network exclusive to gamers. I can speak from experience when giving my own personal opinion about Curse THEY ARE AMAZING! *ahem* My excitement aside, it really is a network worth looking into. Why you may ask? Well they offer a 90/10 revenue share, meaning you get 90% of any earnings that you make and Curse only take a tiny 10% . These earnings come from advertisements shown on the YouTube site, YouTube as a platform needs creators like you to fill their site with a foundation for ads, these advertisements are spread within,before,after your videos (you decide of course) and all around the webpage itself. By doing this they create a revenue for themselves and by allowing you to link your channel with an external network, YouTube is allowing you to use other means to get your cut for all your hard work! Some networks have requirements which you must meet within a certain time period usually 28-30 days to be eligible to join. Curse asks that you have a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 views in the last 30 days OR 8,000 views in the last 30 days. Furthermore, the majority of your content must be gaming related, or fit in with the gaming culture. Your account must be in good standing and of course you cannot be partnered with another network. Union for Gamers also accept applicants under the age of 18, however you must be at least 13+ years of age with additional parents consent for legal reasons. When you are all signed up you will start earning immediately, receiving your funds via Paypal on the 10th of every month. When you first join, you will have to wait two months to receive your first payment and this carries over for the duration of your time with Curse. e.g Money made in November will be paid in January, money made in December will be paid in February etc.
Additional Perks:
Overall, I have to say that Curse is a fantastic network and becoming partnered with them was one of my biggest YouTube achievements of 2015! I totally recommend them and if you have any further questions you can check out their FAQ page here!
FullScreen is a network which in my opinion is one of the worst out there. I cant speak from experience because I refused to fall for their lies and deceit. However I do have many friends in the community who have and their experiences have been far from good. However I have to say, like Curse they do offer some similar features like the copyright free music libraries, a dashboard to track your progress. Unfortunately though, the good points do not outweigh the bad:
If for some reason you would like to give FullScreen a try, you will need at least 100 subscribers and 50 daily views!
Perhaps the biggest indication that this network is not even worth considering is a simple search into Youtube. The first page is saturated in negative videos reviewing this network, that alone should be enough to tell you not to be sucked in by the prospect of “being partnered”. Once you have signed the contract, it is incredibly difficult to leave due to the terrible communication by staff and non existent customer service.
Another network that I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy. Like FullScreen it comes across like an absolute scam. A number of people have had their channels destroyed by this company. With an even lower revenue share than FullScreen at 60/40, Somehow Freedom appear to be slightly better with no limit on payments, you get what you earn. However, it offers nothing entirely unique compared to the previous two networks. The requirements for entry are low, you would only need 1000 views per month to qualify and of course you would need to be in good standing with no copyright strikes.
Id like to point out how having a low entry requirement is NOT a good thing. Essentially this means that anyone can join adding no real value to their company or your achievement (getting partnered). A good network will have a moderately high requirement, which is unfortunate but it enables you to be at the stage where you will actually make money! Companies that take on tiny youtubers have no intention of helping them grow, it just means more members and more money for them because they are aware that you wont make as much as someone larger on the YouTube Spectrum. In other words, the higher the requirements the better the network. If Oxford University let anyone in do you think they would be world class? No! They have high standards for their supreme quality service! Aim higher and work your way up to something of better quality!
You may have also noticed the lack of information I have for the two previous networks, that is because they don’t provide much! They wait until you have signed your two year contract and then give you all the terrible details. Look for a network that is openly displaying all their information about what being partnered with them will be like to avoid any nasty surprises!
Right, I think its time for something more positive am I right? The last network I would like to showcase is The Simmers Syndicate. A network exclusive to you guys! It is fairly new and is founded by Rachybop, you can check out her introductory video here! Here are some of the benefits of the network:
With this network you can enjoy some of the amazing benefits of being partnered as well as have a network that specifically focuses on catering to you as a simmer and not just a gamer or Youtuber in general. To join you will now need to have at least 250 subscribers!
To conclude I would just like to offer some general advice when it comes to gaming networks and partnership:
That is all for now! I hope this helps some of you chose wisely when considering partnership so you can make the best decision for your channel. This is the final addition to the series, however if you have any other questions or would like advice on for your own YouTube channel feel free to comment down below or contact me via Twitter

In order to have the Herbalism Skill as an option you need to get the Outdoor Retreat Game Pack. This is also needed to gather certain plants to make the different brewed concoctions. If you haven’t gotten Outdoor Retreat yet knowing that it brings the Herbalism Skill to the Game might be an incentive. Visit Granite Falls to get Started, I love the look of Granite Falls and the fact you can explore this area as you increase your Herbalism Skill is a bonus.
When leveling up your Herbalism skill you will need to learn what plants to grow and splice together to create other plants. Having your gardening skill maxed out is a huge help when doing the Herbalism skill. Gain levels to unlock new Recipes to Brew, and learn to identify Herbs found in the massive Forest of Granite Falls. This Guide to Herbalism will list all of the Recipes your Sims can learn, guide you toward the Hermit’s location and list the effects of each of the creams, ointments, and liniments your Sims can Brew with the Skill.
Identifying Herbs is the first thing you should do to get started with the Skill. Later, Brewing Recipes will get you to level 10. Herbs are naturally the primary component of these Recipes, but some require regular Gardening produce, and many require Insects. Collecting Herbs will give your Sims the skill needed to brew different concoctions. A lot of the Produce needed for the recipes can be found via the Gardening Guide and around Granite Falls (even rares like Blackberries are found there). Finding Herbs is easy – just search around with the camera low, and watch for Plants that sparkle. If your Sims has Gardening level 5, you can not only Harvest the Plants, but also Take Cutting so that you can Graft them onto other existing plants and get more of them later on by incorporating them into your Garden at home.
Insects can be the hardest part. A good search pattern and keen eye are necessary, as you collect the insects they will be added to your inventory in a terrarium like container. These can be displayed on various shelfs and surfaces. A great idea is to build a collection shed, or buy the collection chest from the Trick or Treat Challenge reward update.
Insects are another matter all together. You must keep an eye out at all times while searching for Herbs and collect every one that you see. Bugs that fly are the easiest to catch. Those that crawl, however, are much harder. I suggest you keep your Camera at eye level as though you are looking through the Forest yourself, because otherwise treetops will obscure your view. Try to use a pattern and search the Forest without revisiting the same places. It can be tough at first, especially if you’re new to Outdoor Retreat, but you’ll eventually get the hang of it. Most insects are easiest to spot during daytime, but some like Fireflies and Dust Spirits only come out at night.
As your Skill rises, you’ll be more likely to Identify Herbs. Herbalism comes with two main interactions with Herbs.
Attempting to Identify an Herb will give your Sim some Skill Experience. You can do this over and over on a high-level herb to help you gain Skill, but it’s not really recommended since the most experience comes from Brewing Recipes. By level 5, your Sim should be able to identify all types of Herbs (even Rares) within a few tries.
Each of the 10 total Herbs has a normal and poisonous variety. If you know it’s the normal, it’s safe to eat. If you’re unsure, don’t bother risking it. Some Herbs can leave your Sims itchy for a long time and even need a remedy to get over the ailment quickly. Thankfully, all maladies herbs may produce will go away with time and it could help your Sims to identify an Herb. Fireleaf can be found in a couple of places. Fireleaf can sometimes be found here (near the Hermit’s cave in the National Park) and another possible spawner is near the Waterfall Fishing spot. Hermit’s hidden area has Morel Mushrooms. While False Morels are found all over, the Hermit Area sometimes has true Morels in the Rock Garden. It depends on your luck.
As your Sims gains levels in Herbalism, you’ll unlock new Recipes. You should save the Herbs you collect for a mass-brewing back at Lodging in Granite falls or your own Home to level the Skill. Making these will give you the most Skill XP out of any of the interactions. It’s kind of like Cooking in that way. I preferred to take the Herbs home and plant them on my lot, to ensure I had access to these while at home. Trips to Granite Falls may be necessary in order to collect Insects, as previously mentioned, because they are required in a lot of the best Recipes.
The following are the herbs in the game pack. As noted before, there is a poisonous (bad moodlet) and normal (often good moodlet) version of each Herb. I’ll also list what happens when you eat them in the notes section. Growth times etc. are for your reference when planting them in your home lot. Prices are for Perfect variants.

HERBALISM RECIPE LIST & SKILL UNLOCKS:
The only Skill unlocks of Herbalism are the new Recipes your Sims learn. Here’s a list of all of them and how to get the Secret Recipe:
Level 1 Insect Repellent Liniment- 2 Noxious Elderberry, 2 Basil Prevents Insect Bites while in the Wilderness, which can happen when collecting them.
Level 1 Sadness Alleviation Lotion- 2 Elderberry, 1 Firefly Eliminates any Sadness-inducing Moodlets
Level 1 Fungal Infusion Fertilizer– Recipe 3 Morel Mushroom, 2 False Morel, 1 Blackberry, 1 Dust Spirit Learn from Friendship with Hermit. See below. Likely the best Fertilizer in-game – it should last a long time. Use it to help Evolve Plants.
Level 2 Deodorizing Cream- 1 Elderberry, 1 Strawberry, 2 Parsley Replenishes the Sim’s Hygiene Need. Higher Quality seems to do more.
Level 3 Soothing Skin Balm- 2 Chamomile, 2 Basil, 1 Locust Heals or reduces duration of any insect bites and possibly burns.
Level 4 De-Stressing Decoction- 2 Chamomile, 2 Muckleberry, 1 Walking Stick Eliminates Stress Moodlets
Level 5 Tummy Therapy- 2 Huckleberry, 2 Sage, 1 Termite Alleviates Nausea-type Moodlets and other stomach-related ailments
Level 6 Clear Mind Distillation- 2 Toxic Chamomile, 2 Huckleberry, 2 Parsley Gives Sim a +2 Focused Moodlet for 4 hours
Level 6 Fireleaf Extract- 2 Poison Fireleaf, 2 Morel Mushroom, 1 Fire Ant Makes Sims extremely uncomfortable giving Unrelenting Itch for 8h and an upset stomach
Level 7 Natural Herbicide Oil- 2 Toxic Chamomile, 3 Fireleaf, 1 Stink Bug Can only be used on a plant when the ‘Weed’ option is available. Pouring this oil will remove the weeds and stop them from growing for a time.
Level 8 Energizer Infusion- 3 Muckleberry, 2 Poison Fireleaf, 1 Dragonfly Gives a +2 Energized Moodlet for 4 hours
Level 9 Rage Relieving Salve- 3 Noxious Elderberry, 2 Fireleaf, 1 Tomato, 1 Rainbow Firefly Eliminates any Anger-producing Moodlets
Level 10 Elixir of Fertility-4 False Morel, 2 Sage,1 Bee, 1 Will-o-the-Wisp Increases the likelihood of Twins and Triplets
These are not worth selling most of the time given the cost and value of ingredients themselves. These are for using to benefit your Sims!
Talking to the Hermit of Granite Falls may give your Sims some Herbalism Skill experience when you talk about it with them, though it seems to stop at a point. The Hermit’s role in Herbalism is, upon reaching Good Friends, that you can use the special Interaction, ‘Learn Herbalism Recipe’ to get the Fungal Infusion Fertilizer Recipe, no matter your level. Be careful cooking this, as it can cause a fire at low level. Becoming Friends with the Hermit is also crucial to Milestone III of Outdoor Retreat’s Outdoor Enthusiast Aspiration. Visiting this area is highly recommended, as it’s possible you will find Herbs you don’t yet have, along with the will-o-the-wisp (rare insect) at night. which you need to create some of the higher level Herbalism recipes including the Fungal Infused Fertilizer Recipe.
Well I know my Sim had fun learning all the recipes of the Herbalism skill and I hope yours will too.
So until next time Happy Simming!

SimGuruRomeo has shared a new screenshot from The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff, showing off his Movie Club enjoying a movie with some popcorns!
Just an every day Club Gathering for the Oasis Springs Film Critics (OSFC)
Rummaging through The Sims 4’s updated game files, I came across these covers of Movie Hangout Stuff that have been translated into 16 different languages.
The Sims Team has released a brand new Update for The Sims 4, preparing us for the release of The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff that’s out next week!
To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.
Update: 01/07/2016 – PC Version 1.14.49.1020 / Mac Version 1.14.49.1220
Happy year of the new, Simmers!
We have a short and sweet release this fine 7th of January, like a New Year’s Eve peck – just a quick welcome to 2016!
Around the corner, I hear Sims are prepping the popcorn for their movie relaxations (just remember, if the bunny in the woods is too much, just call on the super kids to battle the dancing undead).
And with that warning out of the way, we have a bit of NEW…
- We have modified the way in which Sims react to those acting inappropriately in their neighbors’ homes. Beware, for you might find your Sim asked to leave if they get out of line.
- We have also modified the behavior of Sims when a fight occurs.
- Your friends may cheer you on, but your enemies may cheer when you’re down.
- There are 8 new wall decorations to decorate your décor! (ok, well, they don’t decorate the décor, they add to the décor… I really just wanted to ignore the conventions of grammar and write what I wanted to write. There… I admitted it, I ignore grammar!)
- Movie posters for It’s Amber!, Stay Weirder, Cow Plant Love, Cop and Llama, Malpractice, Epic Wood, Sul Sul, and Still Life, are all now available in the Build catalog.
… And have addressed a few Issues…
- The repair service will no longer become unavailable if the player switches active households while the repair service was in progress.
- The repair service is no longer available to not service a retail lot.
- It is now not available, as it was not repairing. Thus, the service will now not charge you for not repairing, when you attempted to have a repair service, service your repairs.
- We fixed an issue that could result when connecting or reconnecting online, in an interface misalignment in the My Library tab of the Gallery.
- Essentially, interface elements were not redrawing properly, and were overlapping in ways that made parts of the interface inaccessible.
- In-acc-sess-ible is so much more fun to say when you accent each syllable.
- We have addressed an issue that could allow users to modify existing lots and upload them as their own.
- Without going into too much detail, through a means of saving, deleting, and re-uploading, it was possible for the owner ID to be “lost” and thus allow the owner modification to occur.
- Sims can now chat with children playing on a jungle gym without route failing.
- … of course I thought the whole purpose of the park was to let your kids run free, while you found peace in the nature inspired sanctuary of silence…
- “Dad?!”
- Blissful, golden silence…
- “DAD!!!”
- SILENCE!
- “DAD?!”
- “What?!”
- “Nuh-thing.”
- We fixed an issue with the DJ booth that could result in the upgrade action failing to perform, but still deducting the parts from the Sims’ inventory.
I hope you had a pleasant December, and wish you joy as we move into the beginnings of this new year.

SimGurus are sharing new info about the latest Stuff Pack – The Sims 4 Movie Hangout!
.@Ceres_Meiriona Happy to hear; the number of detailed pattern variants for the objects & clothes in this pack is nuts! Very versatile.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer This pack is for friends/family gathering in a relaxing setting to enjoy a movie, it’s not for a cinema or home theater feel.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@nickperri_ Definitely. Sims can even declare their favorite movie genre! Check out the blog if you haven’t yet: https://t.co/rZjFHthFYq
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer Sims consider them as different activities. For example, you could have a club that watches movies and avoids watching TV.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer Each movie is about an hour and a half in Sim time. It’s a unique interaction to watch each one so they’ll stick around.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Sathos_voice Each movie is about an hour and a half in Sim time. That adds up to approximately 20 minutes of new video in real time 🙂
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@thesimplynando There’s a new club rule to watch movies if that’s what you’re asking about.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@Howdy_Simmer That’s the idea; they’re great fun to watch along together with your Sims!
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@SimInterstellar Yup, multiple new styled rooms. Some really lovely arrangements thanks to the wide variety in the pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@thesimplynando Yes, there are ways to watch together, or join in watching a movie in progress. Even a new romantic cuddle while watching.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@Sim_Cookie The movies don’t directly change their emotion, but Sims do have varying degrees of enjoyment when watching a flick.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
.@Weealbet Movies can be watched on TVs, and TV can be watched on the new screens. New gameplay is around Sim behavior during/after movies.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@MooniGaming @thesimplynando No sofa woohoo; turn the movie off and take it to the bedroom 😉
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@catloverplayer @thesimplynando Yes, or until the movie ends.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 6, 2016
@PattonKieran Kids don’t make popcorn; but they can eat the popcorn that adults make in the new popcorn popper.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@daniel_willyan You can invite friends to hang out & then watch a movie with them; it didn’t feel like something needing a dedicated event.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@ZerbuTabek The ten movies don’t loop or repeat themselves, each tells its own complete story from start to finish 🙂
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@PattonKieran They sure can.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@purpleclauu The reactions they have relate to what’s happening on screen, i.e., monster pops out; Sims jump in fright. Not emotion based.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@leo3487 Did someone say telesplosion? I love that in Get Together! …and yes, it works & looks fantastic on the new Movie Stuff screens.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@Chelle_Jo44 Yup, each one is two minutes in real time.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ No, it’s done via an interaction in-game. There are a number of new socials between Sims that they can use after watching a movie.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ This pack is for friends/family to gather in a relaxing setting and enjoy a movie. Comfy boho clothing and accent piece furniture.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ We specifically stayed away from cinema as that’s a totally different experience, and something larger than a stuff pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
@RacodyZ Things like discussing a scene, asking about the plot, chatting about actors or directors, spreading spoilers, etc. Variety.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@RacodyZ There are four popcorn flavors… buttered, caramel, cheddar, and kettle.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 7, 2016
.@Ceres_Meiriona In Movie Hangout Stuff, shushing happens when a Sim who is enjoying a movie gets distracted by other Sims who aren't.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 8, 2016
.@Ceres_Meiriona Examples… if another Sim starts talking, or laughs during a serious moment, a Sim enjoying the movie may "SHH!" them.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 8, 2016
.@Howdy_Simmer @leegravesg15 Watching TV and watching a movie are two separate club rules that can be selected independently of each other.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 8, 2016
@QueenavaZ No, making popcorn isn't a club activity.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) January 9, 2016
