As the Sims 4’s life span draws to a close, let’s reflect back and observe the numerous ways that the game fell short of it’s predecessors. The Sims 1 is still adored by many, and the preferred sims game for many players.

Great video. About the humor aspects, I agree that the sims 1 is more refined than most games I've played, but I can't deny that I've came by a very clever joke in one of the most recent products of the franchise, although I'm not sure it was all intentional lol. While playing the new the sims 4 expansion, the high school one, I came by a sim in the T pose. Of course, going in blind on the pack, and knowing that the game can be quite buggy, I was sure it was the actual thing and just ignored it. After some time I decided to click on that sim and just coudn't hold my laughter after seeing in the options: "Ask about the T pose contest". I love that kind of joke in videogames, and it fits perfectly in the sims. At the same time it is a kind of parody of the younger generations and their weird "challenges" on the internet:and also a inside joke for those who are familiar with videogames and their bugs, not to mention the break of expectations of course, but like I said, im not sure if that part was though out by the developers to actually caught people offguard or I was just lucky to not see a single teaser for the pack lol. But anyway, that big text is just me saying that behind all the greediness of EA, there's still people there who actually likes what they are doing and wants to make a fun sims game. I hope they get to show more of their talent on the next game.
I LOVE the sims 1. I wish they made a game using this art style but with the mechanics and openness of the sims 3.
I agree with almost everything but I am disappointed that some cool features weren't mentioned. First of all, every new expansion which added a sub-neighborhood had its unique way of transport like a tram for unleashed or an air balloon for makin magic. Secondly, the sims 1 actually had proper wall-building details which are not present even in the sims 2. That detail is a wooden pillars that is visible when the player measures how long his or her wall is going to be. This style of building walls is used in some countries including the US. And lastly, depending on the order installing expansion packs some of the pre-existing builds were updated. For example, with the correct way of installing packs, lots from vacation island could be adjusted for pets. The only thing I disagree with what you said in the video is music because the soundtracks for Vampires and Realm of Magic are the most climatic of the entire the sims 4 soundtracks.
My first sims game was actually Urbz sims in the city on my gamecube, it was great and I finished it. Then I got the first sims console version, I only played the "get a life" mode but it was fun. And then sims 2 and sims 2 pets which came from my ex dummy 8 years ago, I only touched them each once lol. I played a lot of sims 3 on xbox 360 about 5 years ago, then when sims 4 hit console in 2017, I got it on my ps4, and then last year I got my gaming pc and at this moment, I have sims 2 and 3 installed lol. Side note, I still have everything above I just spoke of, lol I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of my old systems and games😅My gamecube is actually hooked up, I turned it on and looked at my memory cards recently lol
I like Sims 2, 3, 1, and then 4. I definitely think 1 is better than 4.
My first sims game was the Sims 2, but I barely remember playing it so Sims 3 will always be special to me. I mostly build in the Sims 4… it’s pretty much the only thing they got right. Lol
I just loved being transported to yesteryear, those were the good old days and my gawd Sims 1 really does have the best music, it will always have my heart!
Despite being over 20 years old, Sims 1 is still iconic and remains the heart of the series. The music, the simple gameplay yet hard to master, the whimsical side of the descriptions just everything!
Yess, I was waiting for this one! It may be an old game but I still have so much fun with it. Best magic and farming system, and an automatic 10/10 for being the only one in the franchise that allows me to have a dragon colony.
the music was so outstanding and perfecty fited the game. also i miss the creepy vibe sims 1 has.
Loved the video. Sims 1 will always have my heart, especially the soundtrack!
the fact that you said in the start of the video! "Keeping a sim or two alive" man i lost count how many sims i burned to death becuz of the fire starting every 7 times out of 10 when cooking on oven and paying attention to babies were always random since u couldnt hve a single guess to why baby is crying also i lost many babies in this game to adoption service cuz of the lack of attention (specially while playing Newbies, Bob & Betty so far i guess adoption agent got Brandi many times)! this game was genre defining and still classicly perfect AF if u ask me xD
I miss Simlish!! Nothing beats the OG version when it came to their language, it really made this fictional world feel realistic.
Whenever someone asks me to rank my favorite sims games I always leave TS1 out bc it's uncomparable, it's its own thing.
Sims 1, charming and iconic indeed 💗
Until this very day I listen to Sims 1 (alongside Sims 2, 3, Sim City) soundtrack during work, it helps me concentrate and keep my mind at a peaceful state. Surely one of the strongest points
I will forever love sims 1, i remember when sims 2 came out, i wanted to finish exploring the sims 1 and what it had to offer, and my oldest sister was like, "BUT SIMS 2 IS BETTER", tho tbf the same thing happened with my oldest sister when the sims 2 when the sims 3 came out ^^'… and now sims 3 is my favorite entry =3=' i still enjoy the sims 4 for what it is but, ts1, ts2, and ts3 i always go back to too, too much fun~ (and annoyed reeing at my computer ^^') i have the mod that allows you to age up your children with a modded bday cake so i could do a legacy there too at my leisure =3= ALSO YESS BONEHILDA THE LEGEND HERSELF DEBUTED HERE makin magic was my first expansion pack c';
Sims 1 is still my main piece😊
I still enjoy playing TS1, which is something I can't say about TS4. It's a game that had a lot of care, passion, and thought put into it, which, again, can't be said about TS4.
.cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
I certainly dont disagree with nothing you said, its absolutely true! Sims 1 iconic and forever will be!!
Don't be upset or mad at all
Don't feel regret or sad at all
Hey, I'm still a part of the Sims community
And I'm fine, I am totally fine
I will stand on the side as you shine
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
I can't feel emotions
My world is not open to explore
I can't take the newest game for you to adore
I'm waiting on a miracle
I just can't get pregnant
Have no aspiration here neither wants or fears
Can't keep down the competition, deep inside
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I am walking alone
I am waiting for lore
Like I'm stuck in year 2000,wanting to shine
Like all of you shine
All I need is a chance
Give me just one glance
All I know is I can't stay on the side
Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes
I would feel emotions
Think of new worlds to explore
Someone please just let me know, where do I go?
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I would give you babies
Show this community something new
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go
I am ready, come on, I'm ready
Sick of taking what's left constantly
EA, bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago
It's almost unbearable!!
Am I too late for a miracle?
Isn't it weird that in the Goth's mansion is a fourth chair outside were they eat? Was it supposed to be for Cassandra's twin sister Bratty? Maybe is my imagination and this is too far fetched
back when I was playing sims 1, I spent thousand hours reading all the item description and it was just fun as playing the game itself, even though it was translated into Korean. I did the same thing in sims 2 but the vibe wasn't the same and then I never read descriptions of items in Sims 4…. I agree every single list of the video.
