I would like to tell you all something .... when sims 3 first came out I lost my job because I lied and said someone died just to stay home and play the game . I’m pretty young so it wasn’t that important of a job but still ... I love that game
Oskar Radecki this exists! If you have a Mac, there’s a remastered version on the App Store. Includes a few of the best expansion packs. It runs beautifully
@@HaleysCloset This Sims 4 has loading screens and play like The Sims 2... maybe a little better graphics, but yes, they are two different games, but 4 is a little streamlined than 2.
I hope TS5 will have: A neighborhood like TS3 Animations like TS2 Soundtrack from TS and TS2 Feelings/Emotions like TS4 A LOT of animals in a Pet expansion pack The designer-thing from TS3 where u could use patterns and whatever color u like The sculpting-thing like TS4 That's just my opinion. Edit: Well that's a lot of likes wow. thx.
Maria Jensen I'd prefer a whole country. With 6-7 or more main cities + some small towns. BUT in the city you can travel like in TS3, and to travel between cities like on TS4
they should have a sims 4 pack called “throwback” or something like that where it would add more old soundtracks, items, interactions, clothes, towns etc. that would be so amazing to everyone who grew up playing the sims
If they did this, I would finally buy the Sims 4. I haven't bothered because I haven't been impressed by anything other than the graphics. But man! Retro packs?? Now they'd have my attention!
Ugh, yes! The sims 2 had awesome stories which is what I feel like TS4 really missed. I mean, the sims 2 had Bella, the blonde guy that supposedly died in a pool and etc it was like reading a book but making your own choices along it. Sims 4 is just a plain simulation game with little to no background story.
The people who made Sims were so smart. I never thought about it that way but if the sims talked in English it would be so annoying hearing the same phrases over and over again! I'm surprised that the cheat menu was added in on the first sims game, I still use the rosebud cheat now! Also they should really bring back the mafia haha and the custom clothes, that sounded awesome! And I wish they'd bring back the sense of community in the sims, without hitting a loading screen every time you want to go somewhere. Thanks for this video it was great
Faith Castell - the loading screen makes sense though. My laptop buffered so much and worked so hard to play sims 3 as it was all connected in one world. Sims 4 runs much more smoothly on the same laptop because each property I segregated. I prefer smoother game play over bigger neighbourhood. And each time there is a loading screen that’s my cue to get a drink or stretch my legs, especially as I can easily play sims 3-8 hours a day.
Hannah B I wish we could get all the options though. The more the better. Why not release all of them. Sims 4 is lacking anyways. All the options were interesting and would like all of it to be on the game.
The Sims 2 is definitely my favourite Sims game. It is basically my childhood and teenhood. I can cry just by listening to the soundtracks from that game. And the cutscenes makes the game more immersive and dramatic. The expansion packs for The Sims 2 are also amazing. Not to mention all the families that came with the game is even more dramatic, I remember Veronaville is my favourite neighbourhood having the Monty, Capp, and Summerdream families. Pleasantview was, like its name, a pleasant neighbourhood. The families however are not really pleasant and have lots of dramas like how Daniel Pleasant cheated on his wife, and the twins are enemies, the wealthy Goth family with Bella being a huge mystery, the Broke family being broke af, Don Lothario fucks with everyone lmao. The Strangetown is a mystery in itself with Olive Specter having all her husbands dead and also a Grim Reaper baby while Pollination Tech#9 Smith, an alien, is having a family on earth, the Grunt family, and all. Ahhh the nostalgia.
I _loved_ Castaway. So much. I played it on the Wii (don't know what other consoles it was on but yeah) and I spent a lot of hours on it lol. I also played a lot of MySims: Kingdom. That game is super fun as well.
sims 2 was the shit, i had every expansion pack, i still play it on my really old laptop because i love it so fucking much, same with sims 3, those games were my childhood
Yeah I love Sims 2 and 3 and now we got 4 which if you have the base game is complete shit and has barely any of the stuff the old games had and they brought back the good old loading screens between areas
mia SAME I’ve literally played this since I was like 4 or 5 I’ve played it as long as I could point at a computer and pick a nose I don’t remember much of sims 2 but sims 3 was my favorite thing
katymonkfish I agree It would be pretty cool If we could change the height, but It would be very difficult with most of the interactions like kissing and stuff, because If you have one small sim and one tall sim and you want them to Kiss It is gonna be very difficult for the makers of the sim to make that interaction run smoothly. But for the sims 3 they actually have a mod Where you Can change heights, just search It up sometime
Semmy Pemmie I don't think it would be that hard tbh cus adult sims interact with child sims etc, they've come so far with it I just don't see how the game developers can't figure it our
katymonkfish there’s a mod for sims 4 that you can change the height for the sims as well. To make it work you just use the slider they already have for the feet to make the sims feet either larger or smaller but with the mod it won’t change feet size. It’ll change the height.
You didn't mention one of the biggest changes in Sims 2 -- neighborhood customisation! It was the first sims game that let you fully customise your neighborhood, place lots wherever you want and make them a variety of sizes, and the only one to let you design your own map in Sim City and import them. It's a big feature that's entirely missing in Sims 4, which has gone back to a Sims 1 style neighborhood layout that can't be edited at all.
Don’t get me wrong because I am a huge fan of the Sims....I was 17 years old when It was first released. Needless to say I was playing it for hours at a time.....and when Sims two came about, I was completely obsessed, like I stayed in the house for 3 days playing it lol. But when Sims 3 came out.,,,,., I literally played that game, every single day for a year! Sims four on the other hand, I play it whenever I’m bored 😑
blue sk3tch I guess you can say I was completely spoiled by Sims 3. I mean, Sims 4 isn’t “horrendous” ... but if I could rename it, I would call it Sims 2 part deux lol
I'm surprise they didn't implemented the burglars in The Sims 4. I was like : "How come no one is stealing my stuffs?" The one time I'm actually looking for him.
I really miss the open neighborhood from Sims 3 :( it feels like Sims 4 got such a set back with the loading screens again lol also I hope they do seasons and university those have always been my favorite packs :)
I'm still confused by those lag comments. If this conversation was taken 10years ago, i would believe them. Now, even my low/mid spec laptop can run the game's live mode smoothly on max setting. Loading time tho is a different story, but then this really depends on how many contents i've installed in the game (even sims 2&4 have the same exact problem)
cassi the sims 4 went back in time. The personalities are shallow, the loading screens are annoying, the customisation of the sims physical features was the only good thing.
Sims 3 honestly was the best one in my opinion. I bought jungle adventure for sims 4 a few days ago expecting it to be almost as expansive as world adventures was, and geezus. The world is tiny, it's barely got any content to it, and my sim ended up dying because she wouldnt walk to the pool right next to her to extinguish herself after I had queued it up. I finished the content for it in four hours. The sims 3 spoiled me.
sims 2 and 4 had way better expansions. I think seasons is good but I don't like how they have to give you tasks to do on eachhhh event or else it wasn't good. Like god quit trying to tell me what I have to do on thanksgiving/date/christmas to not get a negative moodlet.
Don't Read This Please sims 4 had the worst expansions sims 3 nightlife is broken apart into 3 expansion packs for the sims 4 city living and get famous I forgot what was the other one
I feel like one of the reasons why it feels so dry is the lack of "seemlessness". Sims 3's lack of loading screens made it feel open world and more alive.
Axel Drans As a 3 player, i get heartaches waiting in the loading screens. And that was not just loading screens. Sims 3 was really open at all mechanics. Create a style, create a world... Those were really unique and made me feel special because I felt like my world was unique, my clothes and furnitres were unique. I felt like there was always something new to find out about the game or to exprience in the game. Everything felt so alive! But Sims 4 feels like a mobile game tbh. Multi tasking, New character models, that new build/buy mode and new Cas are reeeaaaalllyyy good. But, like I said, it feels more like a mobile game where what you have to do is already decided. Sims 3 really felt like an open Simulator game.
I feel like EA has just got to comfortable to the point that they now think that they can create something and throw it at Sims fans and think that they will like it. The Sims 4 has been out for 4 years and now and they barley have any expansion and stuff packs. The stuff packs and expansion packs aren't even that good. The Sims , The Sims 2 , and The Sims 3 are a lot better than The Sims 4 considering they probably put more effort into the stuff packs and expansion packs and the actual game. I personally like The Sims 2 the most. Who knows what The Sims 5 could be like. I mean, they may not even make a 5th game since they barley even try anymore.
Then 5 will never happen and Im honestly glad if EA decides to stop. The greed that fucked sims over needs to get to an end. Maybe another company can take over and start developing further sims games with reasonably priced DLCs. Fuck EA
I'm not ready to see maxis an ear close it's door on this game. It's just too good to be actually. Before it came out people only dreamed of such a game. All we had back then we're playing figurens like Mattel and give Joe. We just came up with whatever stories we wanted to act from there. Lol. Good old days 😄😃
Astra Moon The Sims 4 is estimated to have sold around 5 million. I can’t see EA ever dropping this series, it’s a HUGE moneymaker for them plus they’ve released job openings for a secret project which sounds a lot like a new sims game.
That unfortunate truth :( Westwood and Bullfrog being two other prominent studios chewed up and spat out by EA Money Machine. Or how I now like to call them Electronic Arse.
It's definitely the open map. It's the best thing that ever happened to the game and the closest the game got to feeling "real". Loading screens, even when they're 5 seconds like in the Sims 4, just take you out of the game... I mean they must know this, it's what Sim City was about in the first place, if you had a loading screen everytime you built a building in Sim City it would be the worst thing ever.
I think it's the customisation too. I like how you can really alter a sims body in sims 4 but since you can't customise their eyes/hair/clothing/furniture, its disappointing.
sarah hayes I just wanna say good for u the sims 2 don’t work any more I only ever played it once and it terminated meaning it won’t work any more SO I only play the sims 3 I’m happy for u that u grew up with it 😭😀
Am I the only one who genuinely loved The Sims Medieval? The lack of the building side is actually one of my favorite things about it since it allowed me to focus more on the gameplay and quests :D
@@andrewdupuis1151 i have no idea why, but sims 3 pets for ps3 was TERRIFYING. i was about 7 years old and it was the very first sims game i ever got LOL, idk something about the random haunted house events or some shit was scaring me to the bone😂 and also the disappearances of the pets
showed this game to my bf last night because he doesnt understand the bond ive had with sims since 2002 .. I wanted to cry watching this 😂 everytime he watches me play he goes “ this game is so dumb whats the point “ I forcefully made him watch this and he was interested .. people just call the game dumb because they dont kno how to play !
The sims was never cheap but EA now have a reputation as money hungry scammers who take advantage of their loyal fanbase. Aside from all the features removed from sims 4, the very fact that it *has* to be tied to an origin account it ridiculous. A parent with 2 or more children now has to buy the kids a copy of the £40 game each. I've lost all respect for the company since sims 3 and I desperately hope for a competing game company to show them how it should be done. Unfortunately the sims has a monopoly on this style of game and they're presumably using rigid patents and copyright claims to stop any potential competition, and as such, any creativity or innovation. Knowing now that Will Wright left the company after sims 2 everything makes so much more sense. I wonder how he feels about what his creation has become. I wonder if he's as disgusted by their business practises as many longtime fans are.
Don't tell EA, but I pirated the game from my friend and we both play on her origin account. Sometimes at the same time. Only caveat is only one of us can be "online" at a time and use the gallery.
I wonder what would've happened if Wright didn't leave EA. Things went to shit since then. I played TS3 and I'm still playing TS4, but looking at the older versions something went missing from the newer ones.
The Sims 4 is better than 3 just because of the performance alone. The Sims 3 open world was fantastic but the load times were atrocious and it would get choppy and lag intermittently, even if you had a powerful pc.
Beautiful video, but I can’t help but realize that with every new game the Sims franchise has become more about the money! Seriously, laundry day stuff??! Like you can’t just include that in an expansion pack?
Addie in the House The people at the Sims has asked the Sims community (people like you and me) what they wanted in a stuff pack and Laundry Stuff is what people chose.
well this pack was picked by the community , and somehow won vs pack ideas about weddings , life and death , solar power and windmills and the list goes on. I guess the fans really REALLY wanted to do imaginary laundry
Am I the only one who loves the Sims 4, and doesn't mind the loading screen? They should of waited a year before releasing it though, because it was really rushed. I am glad I waited and bought it after pools, toddlers, and the worlds looked better.
angellovesBTS agree %100. I agree that some of the features and expansions are a bit shitty, but I find the game so fun. They should have waited another year and developed the game a bit more though, because some of the features are a bit... eh
I bought it this summer so I didn't have that much to complain (except for aliens and ghosts which are so "normal" in regard of what they did to vampires)!!
@@alexdelaloire8739 Yeah. I don't get how vampires breaking in and eating your flesh isn't horrifying, but burglars are..? Also, Aliens kidnapping men and getting them pregnant is pretty horrific too.
sigh the only thing I like about Sims 4 is its graphics. I love the Sims 3 gameplay where no loading screens are involved and I can just look at what's happening at the local park while my Sims do their things if I want to. Sims 4 is just soooo limiting in what we can do and it gets boring fast.
If there's a Sims 5, I want it to pick up where the Sims 3 left off and just ignore the Sims 4. I hope it becomes one of those games we don't speak of xD Also, imagine if the game had mental health. It would add a whole new layer to personalities and immerse you more in the sim-caring-for experience.
I mean, to be fair, the sims 4 does have loading screens but they arent that long cause most people who play it have decent or good enough rigs to run it. I've heard people complain about loading times in the sims 2. Honestly, the sims 4 improves stuff like saving times and loading. The sims 3 had ridiculous saving times. I think it is due in part to the small world so it doesnt have much to save or load and is my only gripe about the game so far.
Jordan I kno right? The expansions were once upon a time just that! Expanded gameplay. Nowadays, they take away from the base game so much that the expansions no longer introduce new things or gameplay, it simply just adds the items that we lost in the base game that existed in previous games. They seriously need to rethink this for Sims 5.
I’ve talked to an actual voice actor for the sims at a convention and she told me sims 2 was a bunch of gibberish that the voice actors made up and for sims 3 they decided to actually use a script. So you are right they did in a way make it more of a real language.
Sims 2 for life! There’s loads of things I love about that game but mainly, there was just always so much that you could do. Also the fact your sims had ‘memories’ which allowed you to scroll all the way back through them and reminisce. Sigh
I've been playing this game since I was 9yo, struggling to manage my sims in 2000, and now I am 27. It's been 18 years and there's more to come! Thank you Will Wright for turning my childhood dollhouse into an adult timeless game!
There's something about Sims 2's simplicity that makes it so...comforting to come back to after hours of Sims 3 and 4. Sometimes you just want to go back to the days when you had to keep pestering your parents for new computers because Sims 2 came out and it won't run on your current computer. The days when you would spend hours messing around with this innovative stuff that they call "3D." The days when you would start freaking out after you spent all your Simoleons on something stupid, so you had to sell a window for pizza every day. And even if you didn't experience all that stuff; Sims 2 is just fun to get lost in. It's got a certain charm that the later games don't. Sims 3 is great; it just doesn't have the personality that this has. And Sims 4 has come CLOSE at times, but the less we say about Sims 4, the better. Such a freaking classic, man. EA was KILLING IT in the early 2000s. SimCity 4, NFS Most Wanted 2005, Burnout 3, their crap was on point. Such a shame that nowadays they release soulless cashgrabs for money...
Sorry but the Sims 4 is a low class version of Sims 2. Sims 2 had more in the base game then the Sims 4 did with 2 expansion packs. If I had a choice to play either Sims 2 or 4 I would choose Sims 2
out of all 4 sims i think i had such a soft spot for Sims 2 because i was in my teens when it came out. I still play it now and i'm still obsessed. It was such ahead of its time, the story lines were way better, and the expansions were waaaaay better
I never thought I would say this, but after playing The Sims 4 (please note, I haven't played The Sims 3) but I miss the friend requirement for promotions. It forced the player to actually build a community in the game. And so far, The Sims 2 was my favorite installment of the franchise (I miss the University expansion pack, damn!)
TS3 is incredibly immersive and closer to a real life simulation than any other game of the franchise. TS2 is so much fun and offers a lighter and less complicated experience that can be just as entertaining as TS3... But all I can say about TS4 is that it's CAS mechanics are undoubtly superior. All the other aspects of it seem neutral to not so good, especially when compared to the previous ones. Really didn't feel like the "next thing" in the franchise, feels more like a prettier-looking spin off.
When I got the sims 4 I was really disappointed about the fact there was no open worlds, shops, pools and toddlers. In the future I hope the sims 5 with be sims 2+ the sims 3= the sims 5.
The Sims 3 was the first video game I spent my own money on, so it holds a special space in my heart. But of course, I also had to get a video card for my computer, something that I had not heard of at the time. Now 10 years later, I'm a computer technician and this game is a huge part of that.
Sims 2 is a masterpiece and i had to wait to play 4 till Certain features we're added.. i think there taking there time with sims 4 and making it a very detailed game that wil have alot of expansions and other packs
Christian Lawson agree Sims 2 was just amazing. There was so much you could do. And download. I would play for hours. I would still play it but it won't work on my windows 10. I finally just got Sims 4 like a day ago. But haven't downloaded it yet. Since it was on sale for Black Friday I thought why not. Hopefully it's somewhat good. But nothing seems to live up to sims2. 2.
Ahhh The Sims. I used to lose hours & hours on that game/franchaise. The Sims 4 pretty much killed that for me but I just hope that The Sims 5 delivers the classic fun back!
I hope that you know that now sims is DLC all they need to do is refit it to become 5. There nothing wrong with Sims 4 just it was made for laptops where the last 3 were made for tower computers. This has to with overclocking where the laptop fan is to small and nothing to with lag.
Hi, new to the sims... I’ve only played the fourth one by the way, so why does everyone hate the sims 4? I’m just really curious since everyone says it.
I have played them all and have gone back to Sims 3. It's the best, people are still creating new content so it's still alive and growing. Good Facebook groups will help you with what you need. If there's a Sims 5 made they need to go back to 3 and solve the lag/crash issues. Great video and happy Simming!
You forgot to mention one important thing in the end: The Sims 4 was actually originally intended to be an online multiplayer game you could play with your friends, but EA got cold feet and wanted to maximize their profits (how surprising!). They changed their mind half-way into development and it was rushed into a fourth main title instead. That's why The Sims 4 sucks so much.
I play the Sims because I enjoy the absurd moments that happen, showing you're not truly in control. The best in the franchise for that was the Sims 2 because of the fears system. I kinda want this to come back but it probably never will. :(
I have always thought the next big game to come to PC would have been a Sims/SimCity hybrid, where you can control your world both on a macro level and a micro level at the same time.
Maybe with the technology that we currently have, yes. But in the past, I also didn't think that video games would come as far as they currently have. It would just require the right game engine. People put older retro games into modern games all the time. I would think that eventually there could be a game in which your building your city and noticing problems with your education buildings, so the city simulation could somewhat be put on pause while you go into the school buildings and modify things in a Sims-like style so that your schools are running better.
Thank you Will Wright for creating such a masterpiece of a video game! The Sims is the perfect game to escape reality and enjoy playing and living someone else's life.
You spelt melted plastic dolls wrong. lmao Sims 3 is far from having nice looking graphics---unless you live in a wax doll museum where everyone looked like melted dolls with dead eyes. lmao
That's so true. In addition, the aspiration system from the Sims 2 is what makes those sims among the whole series the most "human." I missed that feature on the latter installments.
History of The Sims: It was an awesome and groundbreaking franchise until EA shut down Maxis, the creators of The Sims, and made the game a DLC in a DLC gimmick. Nice job EA.
And somehow when they made the sims 4 when they were working with maxis again, it got even worse. The expansions for sims 3 got better when maxis came back into the equation though.
I like Sims 4, but I admit that it does feel a bit feature-poor at times (although it's harder for me to judge that than some people -- I skipped Sims 3 because I thought the Sims looked creepy in that one). I blame Stuff packs -- EA noticed we would pay a decent amount for small chunks of content, and with Sims 4, they are running the concept into the ground. It's probably easier for them to release Stuff and Game packs for slightly less and count on more people buying them for the somewhat-cheaper price. I don't know how well it's working for them, but it would explain why so many Stuff and Game packs feel like chunks whacked out of earlier expansions (example: Outdoor Retreat being one-third of the classic Sims Vacation).
docette2015 I like the the sims 4 the graphics are way better but I hate it that we have to have a loading screen to go to house near your house etc. I feel like they need more expansion packs and need to have horses not just cats and dogs. My favorite sims game was sims 3 I’ve only played sims 1 sims 3 and sims 4 not sims 2 idk why I just don’t I like that we had more opportunities in schools ms 3 than sims4
I just got Sims 4 two weeks ago because my Sims 3 wouldn't run anymore. I own every Sims 3 expansion pack (no stuff packs) and I had many for Sims 2. I was mostly disappointed with the loading screen when travelling and how small the neighborhoods are. I really hope they can expand the neighborhoods to hold more unique buildings like TS3. However, I do like The Sims 4 more
Yes exactly!! That's what I keep telling people who complain about the lack of features in the Sims 4 base game. It's for the very reason you described. It's way cheaper to make the extensions and packs and stuff and they generate way more revenue thst way because the base game gets so old abd dull QUICK, so then the customers buy all the packs. I think they're trying to make up for lost revenue tho from so many who now download it online through torrents (guilty)... Either way, it's annoying as hell.
marions hemassi Yea, I loved it. I only got TS4 after trying everything to keep TS3 running on my laptop. It used to run it and then it just started crashing after ten minutes. I got my laptop cleaned, tried running it on an earlier version of windows. I did the free trial for TS4, and it was close enough to Sims 3 for me
This is true. I just hope it doesn't work like the Sims 3 laundry item with clothes all over the house. Really, EA? I mean why would there be a pile of dirty laundry in the living room? LOL.
The perfect Sims game would be a game that has the music of the Sims 1, the gameplay of the Sims 2 (things like buying groceries being required, burglars, firefighters etc should be brought back), create a style, controllable pets, (perhaps open world if they can actually fix all the lag and bugs) from the Sims 3, and create a Sim and build and buy mode from the Sims 4. Also, all the usual expansions like seasons and pets should become part of the base game already. It would be nice if we could also get height sliders. Actually getting this is near impossible though...
I've been playing The Sims 2 since 2007 until present, I was scared to move on to the next Sims installment and leaving my Family behind 😂 I wished if I was able to import my whole family into Sims 3 or 4 🙁
Sims 3 was a part of my teenage life, then Sims 4 appeared when I started college.... It wasen't the same but I still managed to have fun with it😊... Sims 3 was the best tho
First Sims game I ever played :) I was 4 (btw if you stay at your moms house for a long time you can increase all your skills super easy and make the rest of the game a piece of cake)
Yes! I wasted all of my money on the game, and now it's broken!It got so boring! aS FOr the expansion packs, well, they add, like, two or three objects that I only use once or not at all!
Uuuuuuuh have you played sims 3 seasons?... Most eps came with new towns and if they didnt, they had a huge selection of items. (Except for some of the horrible ones)
I gotta say growing up I've play every single one of them and it's a shame to see where the Sims has ended up. Over all I think Sims2 had the best feel. Sims 3 Gave us a world to actually play in and the Sims 4 gave us a crappy emotion system and took the open world away as well as most lots to go to. Packs in the Sims 4 are Lazy too. Maybe it's just me but they are losing me as a fan... I'll just go play the classics and think of a better time.
I think you guys all typed 3 instead of 4 Lol, it’s just my opinion and I believe that sims 4 has easier controls and you can customize your sims way easier, Sims 4 (I personally believe) has better graphics making everything look more realistic. Especially all of the extra things you could buy to add much more to your game. I just gave you a whole essay on my opinion and why I admire and approve of Sims 4 and why it is my favorite out of the Sims Franchise
My favourite was by far Sims 3. I remember more about the characters I made there than in 4. I miss sending my Sim to the bookstore or just watching them run to work. Also, designing your own outfits with patterns was really cool.
I just hope with the Sims 4 they don't do a seasons expansion pack, but instead they just include it as a game update. Like I feel like you shouldn't have to pay an extra $40 so that it can snow and rain lol.
Played over 700hr of Sims 3, that was a good game. Sims 4 was a bit of a step back (too few features in the base game, even less than Sims 3 base), and of course...SimCity. That game wasn't great, but it was doable. Too bad EA closed Maxis because of SimCity's poor performance. I was actually looking forward to Sims 5, smh.
Seriously?! WTF EA?! YOU CLOSED THEM CAUSR OF THE *SMALLER* GAMES LACK OF PERFORMANCE?! NOT, YA KNOW, CARING HOW THE *4 VERSION STRONG* GAMES ARE MAKING UP FOR THAT AND MORE?! Great, now I'm mad at EA.
Chris Fuller To be honest, with all the patches sims 4 has had for its base game (since 2014) There is as much/ or more stuff as sims 3 base game. This comes from a person who has played all Sims games, Sims 1 and 4 were my favourite. ❤
They aren't going to make Sims 5? 😭 why can't someone else step in and fiance it? Or does Maxis actuslly make it? Someone else can do It!! There's to much money involved in this game for someone to not wanna get in. I don't want to see this game come to an end. If all else fails, someone will come in and rename it but basically it'll be Sims. Guess it wouldn't ever be the same though. Holy hell!! Over one game that wasn't created to be a major success anyway? That's bull.. Theirs something else going on, maybe this is what they say but theirs more to it
I was in foster care just into a new home from an abusive one when I was first introduced to The Sims (1st one) by my foster sister (the daughter of my new foster family) at the time. it was my greatest escape and has been a cherished game series ever since.
okay here's MY OPINION TS1: I NEVER REALLY HAD THE FEELING OF IT TS2:FIRST SIMS GAME I PLAYED IT WAS GOOD BUT MISSING SOMETHING TS3: PLAYED IT FOR 12HOURS STRAIGHT NOT REALLY BUT I LOVED IT TS4: LOADING SCREAN FOR EVERYTHING UGGGHHHH
LORD KAPABOW looopredx there is not loading screens for everything 🙄At least the loading screens are 5 seconds and doesn’t take 10 mins to load the game like the Sims 3
My personal favorite is the Sims 3. It has the cleanest graphics of the three, and it has all the things that the Sims 2 had, plus a bit more. The pets expansion had horses (which was actually the whole reason I got the game at first, not knowing how much I'd fall in love with the entire thing), I loved all of Island Paradise, and I actually enjoy Into The Future. The Sims 4.. Meh. It's okay, I guess. It's too expensive and gets old fast. It doesn't have the same immersion and doesn't offer NEARLY as much as the previous games did. It took away a lot of really commonly used features and things players love. Overall, it just fell so short of the rest of the games that I consider it a half-sibling to the rest of the Sims games. It's just so.. wrong.

Jona Wanders they tried it again with the sims 3 showtime but it pretty much got torn apart critically and disliked by most of the players (I personally loved it though)
Hell yeah it was. I miss it so much. I recently found all of my Sims 2 discs and tried to install them on my computer but they no longer work correctly 😭😭
The first time I played this I was 10 (25 now) and instantly fell in love with it. I could binge play for hours even days sometimes. I gifted the original sims to my niece on her 10th birthday. She is obsessed with it already. I almost a right of passage in my family. 😂😂
It's crazy how much I remember of the first Sims. Seeing certain countertops or clothing triggers something in my brain from when I was 10 and playing with my friends. Damn, this was a fun trip down memory lane.
Yoshiro ANIME GAMER hahaha I acidentally did that too. Sad thing tho my sims are having good life good job nice house then I need to re make again ughhhh
What is your favorite Sims game or feature?
GameSpot Sims 3, probably seasons. Or pets.
Sims 3 pets
Sims 3 and my favorite expansion was seasons and supernatural
sims 1 and 2
The Sims 3 was my favorite version to date and I've played them all. I'm trying hard to like the Sims 4 but I miss the open world most.
Sims 2 is my favourite but if sims 2 had the sims 4 customization of character and open map like sims 3, it would be perfect
needs the clothing and hair customization of sims 3 as well!
Plus the soundtrack of the sims 1
couldn't agree more
Moon E omg girl i say the same. I love the graphics in the sims 2.
Yess! And the story progression option!
I remember having to wait for the sims 2 to load for like a half hour on our shitty old pc, good times! lol
And another 30 minutes for game to save 😥
And werent there like 4 install CD's
ummmm thats now.💀
Annoyed Angel not really
Same!!!!!!!
I would like to tell you all something .... when sims 3 first came out I lost my job because I lied and said someone died just to stay home and play the game . I’m pretty young so it wasn’t that important of a job but still ... I love that game
that sounds like something I would do. lolll that's amazing tho well minus losing your job but yea lmao
🤣🤣
Goals
Ashley Jones I stan you
lmfao if one of your sims died...then technically, it wasn't a lie 😂😂
Aaah, the Sims. Going for a Sims binge where you play 24/7 for 5 days and then put the game away for several months.
Andreas F AIN’T THAT THE TRUTH GODDAMN
Big fuckin’ mood.
If this isn't the truest shit I've ever read.
SOOO FUCKING TRUE OMG
Yep!
Sims 4 graphics + gameplay of both 2 and 3 + humor of 1 = perfect sims game
Aidan Nörenberg soundtrack of sims 1, My gaaaaaad the soundtrack is so good
yes so true
Sims 2 humor also good
Aidan Nörenberg I don't like the graphics at all in Sims 4. Too cartoonish. Sims 3 is much better.
I always thought the sims 4 would be all the sims games combined but no it isnt 😞 but the graphics save it
EA should make Sims 2 remastered
Oskar Radecki this exists! If you have a Mac, there’s a remastered version on the App Store. Includes a few of the best expansion packs. It runs beautifully
They have a Sims 2 remastered. It's called The SIms 4.
Girl... no. The Sims 2 and the Sims 4 are completely different games.
@@HaleysCloset This Sims 4 has loading screens and play like The Sims 2... maybe a little better graphics, but yes, they are two different games, but 4 is a little streamlined than 2.
no they will add loot boxes to it
I hope TS5 will have:
A neighborhood like TS3
Animations like TS2
Soundtrack from TS and TS2
Feelings/Emotions like TS4
A LOT of animals in a Pet expansion pack
The designer-thing from TS3 where u could use patterns and whatever color u like
The sculpting-thing like TS4
That's just my opinion.
Edit: Well that's a lot of likes wow. thx.
Maria Jensen And drivable cars but not so fast like in TS3
And get rid of more rabbitholes
I want a neighbourhood like ts2 you can place homes wherever there’s no assigned lot area but take away the loading and add in the ts3 following
i prefer the animations of the sims 4
Maria Jensen I'd prefer a whole country. With 6-7 or more main cities + some small towns. BUT in the city you can travel like in TS3, and to travel between cities like on TS4
they should have a sims 4 pack called “throwback” or something like that where it would add more old soundtracks, items, interactions, clothes, towns etc. that would be so amazing to everyone who grew up playing the sims
YES YES PLEASE WE NEED MORE TO SEE THIS
If they did this, I would finally buy the Sims 4. I haven't bothered because I haven't been impressed by anything other than the graphics. But man! Retro packs?? Now they'd have my attention!
I grew up playing Sims 2
That would be amazing
Ugh, yes! The sims 2 had awesome stories which is what I feel like TS4 really missed. I mean, the sims 2 had Bella, the blonde guy that supposedly died in a pool and etc it was like reading a book but making your own choices along it. Sims 4 is just a plain simulation game with little to no background story.
The people who made Sims were so smart. I never thought about it that way but if the sims talked in English it would be so annoying hearing the same phrases over and over again! I'm surprised that the cheat menu was added in on the first sims game, I still use the rosebud cheat now! Also they should really bring back the mafia haha and the custom clothes, that sounded awesome! And I wish they'd bring back the sense of community in the sims, without hitting a loading screen every time you want to go somewhere. Thanks for this video it was great
Faith Castell - the loading screen makes sense though. My laptop buffered so much and worked so hard to play sims 3 as it was all connected in one world. Sims 4 runs much more smoothly on the same laptop because each property I segregated. I prefer smoother game play over bigger neighbourhood. And each time there is a loading screen that’s my cue to get a drink or stretch my legs, especially as I can easily play sims 3-8 hours a day.
@@dyingbutterfly3961 LHAHAHAH
I still can't believe that for once EA gave us a chance to decide what we got in a stuff pack, and we wasted it on LAUNDRY -__-
Banana Girl Faerie yeah! We wasted money only for LAUNDRY and TODDLERS -_-
I need seasons and university and ambition like Sims 3 tho
Well. It was meant to be eco stuff. Which sounds cool, but they just went 'well. That means laundry.'
Hannah B I wish we could get all the options though. The more the better. Why not release all of them. Sims 4 is lacking anyways. All the options were interesting and would like all of it to be on the game.
Hannah B yeah I literally can’t stand the community I’m in ._.
Afadh Akbar
You got Seasons now though
But University yes.
And Ambitions is Get To Work though?
The Sims 2 is definitely my favourite Sims game. It is basically my childhood and teenhood. I can cry just by listening to the soundtracks from that game. And the cutscenes makes the game more immersive and dramatic. The expansion packs for The Sims 2 are also amazing. Not to mention all the families that came with the game is even more dramatic, I remember Veronaville is my favourite neighbourhood having the Monty, Capp, and Summerdream families. Pleasantview was, like its name, a pleasant neighbourhood. The families however are not really pleasant and have lots of dramas like how Daniel Pleasant cheated on his wife, and the twins are enemies, the wealthy Goth family with Bella being a huge mystery, the Broke family being broke af, Don Lothario fucks with everyone lmao. The Strangetown is a mystery in itself with Olive Specter having all her husbands dead and also a Grim Reaper baby while Pollination Tech#9 Smith, an alien, is having a family on earth, the Grunt family, and all. Ahhh the nostalgia.
Sims 2 is perfect. I like it a lot more than 3 and I haven't even bothered with 4.
Sims 2 is definitely my favorite gameplay-wise. The expansions were killer and I loved how dramatic the NPC lore was tbh
@@lasagnababe Same,the Sims 4 isn't anything special tbh
omg!!! YAAAS!!! I loved those families and the drama!
I miss the cut scenes.
Am I the only one who remembers Sims Castaway ?
I played it!
My favorite was The Sims: Bustin Out 😁
I _loved_ Castaway. So much. I played it on the Wii (don't know what other consoles it was on but yeah) and I spent a lot of hours on it lol. I also played a lot of MySims: Kingdom. That game is super fun as well.
i was thinking that too.
I played this on my PSP! It was fun because it had a story element and was a bit of a mystery, but also allowed you to create too!
its my fav I play story mode meany times on pc and game cube
sims 2 was the shit, i had every expansion pack, i still play it on my really old laptop because i love it so fucking much, same with sims 3, those games were my childhood
Yeah I love Sims 2 and 3 and now we got 4 which if you have the base game is complete shit and has barely any of the stuff the old games had and they brought back the good old loading screens between areas
mia
SAME I’ve literally played this since I was like 4 or 5 I’ve played it as long as I could point at a computer and pick a nose I don’t remember much of sims 2 but sims 3 was my favorite thing
dude sims 2 and 3 raised me!!!!
The sims five should have sims 2 cut scenes, sims 3 create a world and online things, and sims 4 cas mechanics
emma's paradise and good GRAPHICS
Yesss!!!
The graphics from the sims 4 are NEEDED. (Love the profile pic)
jungkookie and taetae I thought sims 5 was not going to happen?
when the sims 4 was released they said that EA was discontinuing sims but will finish all the game packs and expansions for sims 4
I'm I the only one that misses spiral staircases from TS2? It get's on my nerves that a staircase takes up so much space!
Elis Moura Stori just gave you a hundred likes
@@soloshot1st1 how?
It's nice that they also had them in TS3 but noooo the TS4 couldn't 🙄.atleast now we can make stairs to take less space but it's not the same.
THE ONE THING the sims still does not have is the ability to change the height of a sim!! I'm 5ft and want my sim to be short damnit
katymonkfish I agree It would be pretty cool If we could change the height, but It would be very difficult with most of the interactions like kissing and stuff, because If you have one small sim and one tall sim and you want them to Kiss It is gonna be very difficult for the makers of the sim to make that interaction run smoothly. But for the sims 3 they actually have a mod Where you Can change heights, just search It up sometime
Semmy Pemmie I don't think it would be that hard tbh cus adult sims interact with child sims etc, they've come so far with it I just don't see how the game developers can't figure it our
katymonkfish ah they cant even figure out how to get rid of the loading screen in ts4 although its just a lot in the same neighborhood
katymonkfish there’s a mod for sims 4 that you can change the height for the sims as well. To make it work you just use the slider they already have for the feet to make the sims feet either larger or smaller but with the mod it won’t change feet size. It’ll change the height.
This comment is old as hell but you can get sliders for that
I blew a kiss on my laptop's screen when Sims 2 finally appeared. Definitely my favorite game out of the franchise.
They are both good but the sims 4 messed up the franchise
Anonymous Alien Hybrid eh i like sims 4
You didn't mention one of the biggest changes in Sims 2 -- neighborhood customisation! It was the first sims game that let you fully customise your neighborhood, place lots wherever you want and make them a variety of sizes, and the only one to let you design your own map in Sim City and import them. It's a big feature that's entirely missing in Sims 4, which has gone back to a Sims 1 style neighborhood layout that can't be edited at all.
I remember that and wish Sims 3 had kept t hat option, and how you could also choose the landscape, like valley, desert, city, etc.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 they did but you need to download another application for that so you can make your own world
Don’t get me wrong because I am a huge fan of the Sims....I was 17 years old when It was first released. Needless to say I was playing it for hours at a time.....and when Sims two came about, I was completely obsessed, like I stayed in the house for 3 days playing it lol. But when Sims 3 came out.,,,,., I literally played that game, every single day for a year! Sims four on the other hand, I play it whenever I’m bored 😑
Funny, I get bored playing Sims 4...
Jeanette Loveless why?
Jeanette Loveless sims is terrible
I just play the sims 4 for the wickedwhims mod
blue sk3tch I guess you can say I was completely spoiled by Sims 3. I mean, Sims 4 isn’t “horrendous” ... but if I could rename it, I would call it Sims 2 part deux lol
I think that the first Sims game gives me the most childhood nostalgia . It's amazing
Yes totally
Agreed
I was just thinking that. The songs and everything!
At Home with Riana Anaïs I still listen to the soundtrack. The music is incredible
Swedish Pocket Its music is magical
I feel Sims 2 was top tier in social interactions. I loved the cut scenes they created. I hope they will bring that back in Sims 5.
I'm surprise they didn't implemented the burglars in The Sims 4. I was like : "How come no one is stealing my stuffs?"
The one time I'm actually looking for him.
Ikr it ruined it so much
I also low-key loved them thieves lol xD
Ryu Konoe lol is it weird I remember thinking that now that you mention it?
Omg it was horrible.
Well you do have the Kleptomaniac trait, which allows your sims to steal things.
I really miss the open neighborhood from Sims 3 :( it feels like Sims 4 got such a set back with the loading screens again lol also I hope they do seasons and university those have always been my favorite packs :)
agreed but the open neighborhood caused significant lag to the point the game was almost unplayable
i loved seasons!! And i miss the little prom idea
its probably game engine limitations, they need to change engine to do that with all the new graphics
I'm still confused by those lag comments. If this conversation was taken 10years ago, i would believe them. Now, even my low/mid spec laptop can run the game's live mode smoothly on max setting.
Loading time tho is a different story, but then this really depends on how many contents i've installed in the game (even sims 2&4 have the same exact problem)
cassi the sims 4 went back in time. The personalities are shallow, the loading screens are annoying, the customisation of the sims physical features was the only good thing.
Sims 3 honestly was the best one in my opinion. I bought jungle adventure for sims 4 a few days ago expecting it to be almost as expansive as world adventures was, and geezus. The world is tiny, it's barely got any content to it, and my sim ended up dying because she wouldnt walk to the pool right next to her to extinguish herself after I had queued it up. I finished the content for it in four hours. The sims 3 spoiled me.
sims 2 and 4 had way better expansions. I think seasons is good but I don't like how they have to give you tasks to do on eachhhh event or else it wasn't good. Like god quit trying to tell me what I have to do on thanksgiving/date/christmas to not get a negative moodlet.
Sims 3 all the way!!!!
@@dontreadthisplease2416 Are you saying that Sims 4 expansions are better than the Sims 3? That have to be a joke
Don't Read This Please sims 4 had the worst expansions sims 3 nightlife is broken apart into 3 expansion packs for the sims 4 city living and get famous I forgot what was the other one
Didn't plan on watching the whole video... Watched the whole video.
Lol same
Bexy Rae same lol
Same lol
Me töo
I just watched again for the second time,lol! I think the last time was a few months ago!
It's a shame sims 4 is so dry. Something is missing in it. I'm no way near as immersed in the world as I was with the other sim games.
I feel exactly the same.
I feel like one of the reasons why it feels so dry is the lack of "seemlessness". Sims 3's lack of loading screens made it feel open world and more alive.
Axel Drans As a 3 player, i get heartaches waiting in the loading screens. And that was not just loading screens. Sims 3 was really open at all mechanics. Create a style, create a world... Those were really unique and made me feel special because I felt like my world was unique, my clothes and furnitres were unique. I felt like there was always something new to find out about the game or to exprience in the game. Everything felt so alive! But Sims 4 feels like a mobile game tbh. Multi tasking, New character models, that new build/buy mode and new Cas are reeeaaaalllyyy good. But, like I said, it feels more like a mobile game where what you have to do is already decided. Sims 3 really felt like an open Simulator game.
Well maybe with expansion packs it will get better? I honestly don’t know. I like the sims 4 cuz it’s the only sims game I’ve ever played
I also think the silly humor that was in TS, TS2, and TS3 made the game so much better. I don’t know but that’s my take. I agree with everyone though!
I feel like EA has just got to comfortable to the point that they now think that they can create something and throw it at Sims fans and think that they will like it. The Sims 4 has been out for 4 years and now and they barley have any expansion and stuff packs. The stuff packs and expansion packs aren't even that good. The Sims , The Sims 2 , and The Sims 3 are a lot better than The Sims 4 considering they probably put more effort into the stuff packs and expansion packs and the actual game. I personally like The Sims 2 the most. Who knows what The Sims 5 could be like. I mean, they may not even make a 5th game since they barley even try anymore.
They've already said that they're unsure if Sims 5 will happen. It all depends on the OVERALL success of 4.
Then 5 will never happen and Im honestly glad if EA decides to stop. The greed that fucked sims over needs to get to an end. Maybe another company can take over and start developing further sims games with reasonably priced DLCs. Fuck EA
Destiny Deja I can’t do anything but agree with this comment.
I'm not ready to see maxis an ear close it's door on this game. It's just too good to be actually. Before it came out people only dreamed of such a game. All we had back then we're playing figurens like Mattel and give Joe. We just came up with whatever stories we wanted to act from there. Lol. Good old days 😄😃
Astra Moon The Sims 4 is estimated to have sold around 5 million. I can’t see EA ever dropping this series, it’s a HUGE moneymaker for them plus they’ve released job openings for a secret project which sounds a lot like a new sims game.
THE MUSIC FROM THE SIMS 3 OMF THE MEMORIES
which part/name of the soundtrack?
mia true i nearly cried omg
mia HAHAHA
mia IKR!!!
mia
It's so sad. EA Both "made" and killed Maxis.
Jordan 'Dingus'Jones They seem to do that with a lot of companies :/
That unfortunate truth :( Westwood and Bullfrog being two other prominent studios chewed up and spat out by EA Money Machine.
Or how I now like to call them Electronic Arse.
Damn that was deep but true
Yeah it is
To be fair, ea tried to get rid of Sims, and got lucky with a bug
Am I the only one who thought Sim 3 was way better, more complex, and complete than Sims 4?
It absolutely was!
It's definitely the open map. It's the best thing that ever happened to the game and the closest the game got to feeling "real". Loading screens, even when they're 5 seconds like in the Sims 4, just take you out of the game... I mean they must know this, it's what Sim City was about in the first place, if you had a loading screen everytime you built a building in Sim City it would be the worst thing ever.
I think it's the customisation too. I like how you can really alter a sims body in sims 4 but since you can't customise their eyes/hair/clothing/furniture, its disappointing.
Definitely. Whenever I get the urge to play Sims I play 3 instead of 4.
I think building and creating is better in Sims 4 but playing isn't as good as it was in Sims 3. I miss the city!
i’m praying there’s another supernatural for the sims 4. I miss being able to be a mermaid, witch, even a werewolf in the sims 3. AND DAMN I MISS CARS
so true
Oh meh gawd, so trueeee
Michelle Anola I used to make my sim a witch and set shit on fire throughout the town. Those were the days..
damn all my werewolf toddlers broke my furniture 😂😂😂
Truth 😒
I love the Sims games I grew up with the game!

sarah hayes I haven't I've only been playing Sims for 3 yrs! 😂😂
sarah hayes I just wanna say good for u the sims 2 don’t work any more I only ever played it once and it terminated meaning it won’t work any more SO I only play the sims 3 I’m happy for u that u grew up with it 😭😀
sarah hayes I played sims 3 and 4
me too but havent played one since i was a kid
Anyone still playing The Sims 2?
bought it and all DLC again on new years, along with sims 1. Because my files got deleted. rip wallet
Until the day I die. I take breaks but not since I picked it up in 2005 have I given it up.
I lost 3 of the disk:(
I want too But whereee
Of course!
I miss Create a World from TS3
I also miss easy travel between worlds...I'm hoping down the line they introduce cars, seasons and a bon voyage element
Cars for what? We cant travel and drive. Maybe they can include lots for racing with a "track editor" like to "roller coaster" form Makin' Magic (S1)
Presca From BC Yes I need seasons back in my life.
magnus87 there was a half one in Sims 2
In Sims 2, the traveling was just loading screens but it still had cars. They made it work, and they can make it work in Sims 4.
Am I the only one who genuinely loved The Sims Medieval? The lack of the building side is actually one of my favorite things about it since it allowed me to focus more on the gameplay and quests :D
Fadoua Ouni No I love it too
I adore it! And wish it had more expansions
I love it too! I wish they’d make another one...
I actually really enjoyed it. It was a unique spin that worked quite well.
Fadoua Ouni Same! Still play it nowadays.
Bring back the cars in SIMS 5 and make it feel like an open world game again.
The SIMS 3 is still my favourite.
sism 3 pets on xbox 360 for me, spent 7 years playing it.

The soundtrack of the first one > life
Absolutely. TS1's soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece.
Especially the Nightlife one. I could listen to it just as regular music.
the last song played at the movie tough the downhill song
The Jazz pieces from the first game introduced me to the Bossa Nova genre of music. I love it!
Charlie my god I feel the hair of my back when listening to its music.
Just my childhood
showed this game to my bf last night because he doesnt understand the bond ive had with sims since 2002 .. I wanted to cry watching this 😂 everytime he watches me play he goes “ this game is so dumb whats the point “ I forcefully made him watch this and he was interested .. people just call the game dumb because they dont kno how to play !
Kaelani Muiso lol I made my fiancé build a house cause he always says it’s stupid he was very into it 😂
my bf said the same because I still spend hours to play or build a sim / sims house
Kaelani Muiso Bruh! You need to leave him! 😂
Kaelani Muiso the game is stupid to most guys because there is no end game, hence, what's the fucking point?
Im a male but I like The Sims
The sims was never cheap but EA now have a reputation as money hungry scammers who take advantage of their loyal fanbase. Aside from all the features removed from sims 4, the very fact that it *has* to be tied to an origin account it ridiculous. A parent with 2 or more children now has to buy the kids a copy of the £40 game each.
I've lost all respect for the company since sims 3 and I desperately hope for a competing game company to show them how it should be done. Unfortunately the sims has a monopoly on this style of game and they're presumably using rigid patents and copyright claims to stop any potential competition, and as such, any creativity or innovation.
Knowing now that Will Wright left the company after sims 2 everything makes so much more sense. I wonder how he feels about what his creation has become. I wonder if he's as disgusted by their business practises as many longtime fans are.
Don't tell EA, but I pirated the game from my friend and we both play on her origin account. Sometimes at the same time. Only caveat is only one of us can be "online" at a time and use the gallery.
That being said, fuck EA, that's why I pirated the 4th game
isyoursheepwireless I agree 1000000 percent .
@@tityanya Pirating a game is still shit, tho.
I guess everything that is being left by its own creator/mastermind would turn out to be so shitty..
I wonder what would've happened if Wright didn't leave EA. Things went to shit since then.
I played TS3 and I'm still playing TS4, but looking at the older versions something went missing from the newer ones.
The Sims 4 is better than 3 just because of the performance alone. The Sims 3 open world was fantastic but the load times were atrocious and it would get choppy and lag intermittently, even if you had a powerful pc.
Beautiful video, but I can’t help but realize that with every new game the Sims franchise has become more about the money! Seriously, laundry day stuff??! Like you can’t just include that in an expansion pack?
Addie in the House The people at the Sims has asked the Sims community (people like you and me) what they wanted in a stuff pack and Laundry Stuff is what people chose.
laundry day stuff was literally a pack picked by the community, this is like the only thing you cant blame on the devs, this was US
OR IN A ATCH LIKE THE LAST SIMS GAME HAD
well this pack was picked by the community , and somehow won vs pack ideas about weddings , life and death , solar power and windmills and the list goes on. I guess the fans really REALLY wanted to do imaginary laundry
I get what you're saying but I actually loved the ability to do laundry in TS3. Not sure why I loved it but for some reason I did.
Am I the only one who loves the Sims 4, and doesn't mind the loading screen?
They should of waited a year before releasing it though, because it was really rushed. I am glad I waited and bought it after pools, toddlers, and the worlds looked better.
angellovesBTS agree %100. I agree that some of the features and expansions are a bit shitty, but I find the game so fun. They should have waited another year and developed the game a bit more though, because some of the features are a bit... eh
I bought it this summer so I didn't have that much to complain (except for aliens and ghosts which are so "normal" in regard of what they did to vampires)!!
I love the Sims 4 however the skins are kinda ashy for sims of color i just wish they'd work on that since i play on console
@@alexdelaloire8739 Yeah. I don't get how vampires breaking in and eating your flesh isn't horrifying, but burglars are..? Also, Aliens kidnapping men and getting them pregnant is pretty horrific too.
@@pandakat915 I download cc skins because the maxi skins are...yikes
sigh the only thing I like about Sims 4 is its graphics. I love the Sims 3 gameplay where no loading screens are involved and I can just look at what's happening at the local park while my Sims do their things if I want to. Sims 4 is just soooo limiting in what we can do and it gets boring fast.
If there's a Sims 5, I want it to pick up where the Sims 3 left off and just ignore the Sims 4. I hope it becomes one of those games we don't speak of xD Also, imagine if the game had mental health. It would add a whole new layer to personalities and immerse you more in the sim-caring-for experience.
I mean, to be fair, the sims 4 does have loading screens but they arent that long cause most people who play it have decent or good enough rigs to run it. I've heard people complain about loading times in the sims 2. Honestly, the sims 4 improves stuff like saving times and loading. The sims 3 had ridiculous saving times. I think it is due in part to the small world so it doesnt have much to save or load and is my only gripe about the game so far.
Ahh yes, the times when the sims expansions were actually less than the base game, and the base game was actually fun to play on its own
Jordan I kno right? The expansions were once upon a time just that! Expanded gameplay. Nowadays, they take away from the base game so much that the expansions no longer introduce new things or gameplay, it simply just adds the items that we lost in the base game that existed in previous games.
They seriously need to rethink this for Sims 5.
The Simlish actually evolved and became more of a real language with Sims speaking them more smoother in more recent games
I’ve talked to an actual voice actor for the sims at a convention and she told me sims 2 was a bunch of gibberish that the voice actors made up and for sims 3 they decided to actually use a script. So you are right they did in a way make it more of a real language.
Tbh Sims 3 always scared me, especially the damn school bus when it turned 😂😭
foolforcjf HAHAHAHHA! YES
jean alto it’s true, it goes on the damn sidewalk 😂😭
What? How?
and that ice-cream truck, that was some horror shit fr!!!😂😭
foolforcjf i was more terrified of that creepy icecream truck that'll show up at 3am and wait outside the house. So creepy 😂😂😂😂
Sims 2 for life! There’s loads of things I love about that game but mainly, there was just always so much that you could do. Also the fact your sims had ‘memories’ which allowed you to scroll all the way back through them and reminisce. Sigh
I've been playing this game since I was 9yo, struggling to manage my sims in 2000, and now I am 27. It's been 18 years and there's more to come!
Thank you Will Wright for turning my childhood dollhouse into an adult timeless game!
There's something about Sims 2's simplicity that makes it so...comforting to come back to after hours of Sims 3 and 4.
Sometimes you just want to go back to the days when you had to keep pestering your parents for new computers because Sims 2 came out and it won't run on your current computer. The days when you would spend hours messing around with this innovative stuff that they call "3D."
The days when you would start freaking out after you spent all your Simoleons on something stupid, so you had to sell a window for pizza every day.
And even if you didn't experience all that stuff; Sims 2 is just fun to get lost in. It's got a certain charm that the later games don't. Sims 3 is great; it just doesn't have the personality that this has. And Sims 4 has come CLOSE at times, but the less we say about Sims 4, the better.
Such a freaking classic, man. EA was KILLING IT in the early 2000s. SimCity 4, NFS Most Wanted 2005, Burnout 3, their crap was on point. Such a shame that nowadays they release soulless cashgrabs for money...
The Villiger that window selling for pizza i can so relate 😂
Sorry but the Sims 4 is a low class version of Sims 2. Sims 2 had more in the base game then the Sims 4 did with 2 expansion packs. If I had a choice to play either Sims 2 or 4 I would choose Sims 2
out of all 4 sims i think i had such a soft spot for Sims 2 because i was in my teens when it came out. I still play it now and i'm still obsessed. It was such ahead of its time, the story lines were way better, and the expansions were waaaaay better
I never thought I would say this, but after playing The Sims 4 (please note, I haven't played The Sims 3) but I miss the friend requirement for promotions. It forced the player to actually build a community in the game.
And so far, The Sims 2 was my favorite installment of the franchise (I miss the University expansion pack, damn!)
MasterOfNinjas16 In the Sims 4 you actually have to have a certain amount of friends for a promotion. This is in the entertainment career
I think the promotion requirements for the various careers in Sims 4 make more sense than just "be popular".
TS3 is incredibly immersive and closer to a real life simulation than any other game of the franchise. TS2 is so much fun and offers a lighter and less complicated experience that can be just as entertaining as TS3...
But all I can say about TS4 is that it's CAS mechanics are undoubtly superior. All the other aspects of it seem neutral to not so good, especially when compared to the previous ones. Really didn't feel like the "next thing" in the franchise, feels more like a prettier-looking spin off.
When I got the sims 4 I was really disappointed about the fact there was no open worlds, shops, pools and toddlers. In the future I hope the sims 5 with be sims 2+ the sims 3= the sims 5.
Oh really? Where's the open world?
@Ashley Mendonsa I don't see no open world in the sims 4 dude
Most importantly it has no soul (or humour)
For a half an hour video i feel like a lot to be said about the sims 3 was missing
Best Sims in my opinion
To make sims 4 look better
sims 2 is the best one. sims 3 is my favourite. i like that sims can multitask in sims 4 but i just can't get into it like the previous games "/
The Sims 3 was the first video game I spent my own money on, so it holds a special space in my heart. But of course, I also had to get a video card for my computer, something that I had not heard of at the time. Now 10 years later, I'm a computer technician and this game is a huge part of that.
Sims 2 is a masterpiece and i had to wait to play 4 till Certain features we're added.. i think there taking there time with sims 4 and making it a very detailed game that wil have alot of expansions and other packs
Christian Lawson agree Sims 2 was just amazing. There was so much you could do. And download. I would play for hours. I would still play it but it won't work on my windows 10. I finally just got Sims 4 like a day ago. But haven't downloaded it yet. Since it was on sale for Black Friday I thought why not. Hopefully it's somewhat good. But nothing seems to live up to sims2. 2.
sims 2 was a masterpeice because that was will wright's final sims project as he barely had any input in sim 3 and 4.
Coushatta LaRue hey they updated sims 2 on orgin now it works perfectly
Ahhh The Sims. I used to lose hours & hours on that game/franchaise. The Sims 4 pretty much killed that for me but I just hope that The Sims 5 delivers the classic fun back!
I hope that you know that now sims is DLC all they need to do is refit it to become 5. There nothing wrong with Sims 4 just it was made for laptops where the last 3 were made for tower computers. This has to with overclocking where the laptop fan is to small and nothing to with lag.
Mark Baanstra what does DLC mean?
Polopony20 - Downloadable Content. So... additional content...to buy.
Hi, new to the sims... I’ve only played the fourth one by the way, so why does everyone hate the sims 4? I’m just really curious since everyone says it.
Ashley Li It is kind of hard to explain if you don't play the others (Honestly Iove sims 3 my favorite)
I have played them all and have gone back to Sims 3. It's the best, people are still creating new content so it's still alive and growing. Good Facebook groups will help you with what you need. If there's a Sims 5 made they need to go back to 3 and solve the lag/crash issues. Great video and happy Simming!
You forgot to mention one important thing in the end: The Sims 4 was actually originally intended to be an online multiplayer game you could play with your friends, but EA got cold feet and wanted to maximize their profits (how surprising!). They changed their mind half-way into development and it was rushed into a fourth main title instead. That's why The Sims 4 sucks so much.
WHAT???? wtf THAT WOULDVE BEEN MORE POPULAR IF THEY MADE IT ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAME. WTFFFFFFF
I think it's funny that there's now a multiplayer mod and people like it. Makes you wonder how well it would have been as a multiplayer game.
John Kristiansson hope the sims 5 won't be that awful
people actually want multiplayer???? i dont really want it lol, maybe im just weird
Yes, I would like, to play with my boyfriend.
After looking back at what was available for the Sims 3, I seriously believe that the Sims 4 should have so much more than it does.
I play the Sims because I enjoy the absurd moments that happen, showing you're not truly in control. The best in the franchise for that was the Sims 2 because of the fears system. I kinda want this to come back but it probably never will. :(
I have always thought the next big game to come to PC would have been a Sims/SimCity hybrid, where you can control your world both on a macro level and a micro level at the same time.
LAdwv7495 that would be laggy asf
Maybe with the technology that we currently have, yes. But in the past, I also didn't think that video games would come as far as they currently have. It would just require the right game engine. People put older retro games into modern games all the time. I would think that eventually there could be a game in which your building your city and noticing problems with your education buildings, so the city simulation could somewhat be put on pause while you go into the school buildings and modify things in a Sims-like style so that your schools are running better.
Thank you Will Wright for creating such a masterpiece of a video game! The Sims is the perfect game to escape reality and enjoy playing and living someone else's life.
Sims 2 the best. Options galore and realistic graphics.
You spelt melted plastic dolls wrong. lmao
Sims 3 is far from having nice looking graphics---unless you live in a wax doll museum where everyone looked like melted dolls with dead eyes.
lmao
You spelt that was unnecessarily rude wrong lmao
Just everyone stop being immature lmao
+Gpod Joe Yeah.
That's so true. In addition, the aspiration system from the Sims 2 is what makes those sims among the whole series the most "human." I missed that feature on the latter installments.
I don’t like the graphics but the gameplay is good
I still want a new version of making magic....
Making Magic was the ABSOLUTE BEST expansion pack of all Sims
I NEED MY WITCH!
History of The Sims: It was an awesome and groundbreaking franchise until EA shut down Maxis, the creators of The Sims, and made the game a DLC in a DLC gimmick.
Nice job EA.
And somehow when they made the sims 4 when they were working with maxis again, it got even worse.
The expansions for sims 3 got better when maxis came back into the equation though.
That sums it up
I like Sims 4, but I admit that it does feel a bit feature-poor at times (although it's harder for me to judge that than some people -- I skipped Sims 3 because I thought the Sims looked creepy in that one). I blame Stuff packs -- EA noticed we would pay a decent amount for small chunks of content, and with Sims 4, they are running the concept into the ground. It's probably easier for them to release Stuff and Game packs for slightly less and count on more people buying them for the somewhat-cheaper price. I don't know how well it's working for them, but it would explain why so many Stuff and Game packs feel like chunks whacked out of earlier expansions (example: Outdoor Retreat being one-third of the classic Sims Vacation).
From what seen stuff pack are selling well. I've two myself.
docette2015 I like the the sims 4 the graphics are way better but I hate it that we have to have a loading screen to go to house near your house etc. I feel like they need more expansion packs and need to have horses not just cats and dogs. My favorite sims game was sims 3 I’ve only played sims 1 sims 3 and sims 4 not sims 2 idk why I just don’t I like that we had more opportunities in schools ms 3 than sims4
I just got Sims 4 two weeks ago because my Sims 3 wouldn't run anymore. I own every Sims 3 expansion pack (no stuff packs) and I had many for Sims 2. I was mostly disappointed with the loading screen when travelling and how small the neighborhoods are. I really hope they can expand the neighborhoods to hold more unique buildings like TS3. However, I do like The Sims 4 more
Yes exactly!! That's what I keep telling people who complain about the lack of features in the Sims 4 base game. It's for the very reason you described. It's way cheaper to make the extensions and packs and stuff and they generate way more revenue thst way because the base game gets so old abd dull QUICK, so then the customers buy all the packs. I think they're trying to make up for lost revenue tho from so many who now download it online through torrents (guilty)...
Either way, it's annoying as hell.
marions hemassi Yea, I loved it. I only got TS4 after trying everything to keep TS3 running on my laptop. It used to run it and then it just started crashing after ten minutes. I got my laptop cleaned, tried running it on an earlier version of windows. I did the free trial for TS4, and it was close enough to Sims 3 for me
The laundry day stuff pack was the one the PLAYERS chose so... you can’t really judge the sims staff
This is true. I just hope it doesn't work like the Sims 3 laundry item with clothes all over the house. Really, EA? I mean why would there be a pile of dirty laundry in the living room? LOL.
to think, i still bought it... even tho i thought it was completely fucking stupid lol.
I just ordered Sims the Complete Collection. I havent played any of these games in 15 years. I'm so excited.
This was great - good research !
The perfect Sims game would be a game that has the music of the Sims 1, the gameplay of the Sims 2 (things like buying groceries being required, burglars, firefighters etc should be brought back), create a style, controllable pets, (perhaps open world if they can actually fix all the lag and bugs) from the Sims 3, and create a Sim and build and buy mode from the Sims 4. Also, all the usual expansions like seasons and pets should become part of the base game already. It would be nice if we could also get height sliders. Actually getting this is near impossible though...
nah dude dont say that comment, EA will add it as an expansion for another £100
I've been playing The Sims 2 since 2007 until present, I was scared to move on to the next Sims installment and leaving my Family behind 😂
I wished if I was able to import my whole family into Sims 3 or 4 🙁
Does that mean you still own the same PC as you did in 2007? Just curious because I'd love to replay Sims 2 one day
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 nope, I've moved the entire Data to my new PC
If there's a way to import my Sims 2 Family to Sims 4 :'
Sims 3 was a part of my teenage life, then Sims 4 appeared when I started college.... It wasen't the same but I still managed to have fun with it😊... Sims 3 was the best tho
sims 2 was best
Same
The Sims busting out was good
Dark metallic adolescents absolutely
The Sims busring Nuts dlc was better
BombchuGames wtf is that
Bustin Out is my favorite to date!
First Sims game I ever played :) I was 4 (btw if you stay at your moms house for a long time you can increase all your skills super easy and make the rest of the game a piece of cake)
They should re-introduce the Sims online.
With social media and internet in almost every house hold, this time it can actually work.
the expansion packs for sims 1 and 2 were so good. its sad the the ones for the fourth game are so shallow
Yes! I wasted all of my money on the game, and now it's broken!It got so boring! aS FOr the expansion packs, well, they add, like, two or three objects that I only use once or not at all!
KristenAnnStuhr I agree they need to have more than just a couple
Lol, sims 3 eps came with 6 objects, and you wanna call s4 eps shallow?
Uuuuuuuh have you played sims 3 seasons?... Most eps came with new towns and if they didnt, they had a huge selection of items. (Except for some of the horrible ones)
The OG The Sims is still my favorite of all The Sims franchise. The first The Sims with all its expansion packs is what made my childhood super fun.
Will Wright is such an interesting dude, written and built a ton of pioneering games and also did the illegal coast to coast race The Cannonball Run.
I gotta say growing up I've play every single one of them and it's a shame to see where the Sims has ended up. Over all I think Sims2 had the best feel. Sims 3 Gave us a world to actually play in and the Sims 4 gave us a crappy emotion system and took the open world away as well as most lots to go to. Packs in the Sims 4 are Lazy too. Maybe it's just me but they are losing me as a fan... I'll just go play the classics and think of a better time.
I even dont want to install ts4 on my laptop although I have it on my pc and let my sister play the ts4 while i enjoy ts3 with no loading screen
I agree my friend. They really could had made Sims 4 a even better Sims 3 and just dropped the ball sadly.
Same, I just stick with Sims 2 from now on, I have no hope left in EA after what they did to Sims 4
I agree. I didn't bother to buy Sims 3 or 4. I'm in the process of re-installing my old files and stuff for Sims 1 and 2.
I don't like Sims 4 I rather have Sims 3 and at least ts3 had horses
The Sims 3 to me is the best
Jairus Yaun me 2
Other than graphics, yes!
I think you guys all typed 3 instead of 4
Lol, it’s just my opinion and I believe that sims 4 has easier controls and you can customize your sims way easier, Sims 4 (I personally believe) has better graphics making everything look more realistic. Especially all of the extra things you could buy to add much more to your game.
I just gave you a whole essay on my opinion and why I admire and approve of Sims 4 and why it is my favorite out of the Sims Franchise
Same here
Jairus Yaun but as soon as a sims 5 is released everyone will say, "the sims 4 was better"
My favourite was by far Sims 3. I remember more about the characters I made there than in 4. I miss sending my Sim to the bookstore or just watching them run to work. Also, designing your own outfits with patterns was really cool.
I just hope with the Sims 4 they don't do a seasons expansion pack, but instead they just include it as a game update. Like I feel like you shouldn't have to pay an extra $40 so that it can snow and rain lol.
Marigold Witch agree
babeofoz haha wait for June 22 a season expansion pack that’s €40
News flash: they did create a seasons expansion pack that u have to pay $40 for
Played over 700hr of Sims 3, that was a good game. Sims 4 was a bit of a step back (too few features in the base game, even less than Sims 3 base), and of course...SimCity. That game wasn't great, but it was doable. Too bad EA closed Maxis because of SimCity's poor performance. I was actually looking forward to Sims 5, smh.
Seriously?! WTF EA?! YOU CLOSED THEM CAUSR OF THE *SMALLER* GAMES LACK OF PERFORMANCE?! NOT, YA KNOW, CARING HOW THE *4 VERSION STRONG* GAMES ARE MAKING UP FOR THAT AND MORE?!
Great, now I'm mad at EA.
Polopony20 Everyone is mad at EA for multiple reasons, get in line. (Don't take seriously just a joke :P)
Chris Fuller
To be honest, with all the patches sims 4 has had for its base game (since 2014)
There is as much/ or more stuff as sims 3 base game.
This comes from a person who has played all Sims games, Sims 1 and 4 were my favourite. ❤
They aren't going to make Sims 5? 😭 why can't someone else step in and fiance it? Or does Maxis actuslly make it? Someone else can do It!! There's to much money involved in this game for someone to not wanna get in.
I don't want to see this game come to an end.
If all else fails, someone will come in and rename it but basically it'll be Sims. Guess it wouldn't ever be the same though.
Holy hell!! Over one game that wasn't created to be a major success anyway? That's bull.. Theirs something else going on, maybe this is what they say but theirs more to it
Kelsie G.
Them making Sims 5 is dependent on the succesfulness of Sims 4.
Sims 5 isnt cancelled nor announced that its not going to exist.
I was in foster care just into a new home from an abusive one when I was first introduced to The Sims (1st one) by my foster sister (the daughter of my new foster family) at the time. it was my greatest escape and has been a cherished game series ever since.
Old Sims games death's use 2 scare me
Dark metallic adolescents probably because it wasn't cartoonish, yet.
deutschesmaedchen the weird music and Sims screaming when they died creeped me out then at midnight their ghost would appear
deutschesmaedchen hör auf translation: stop it
Osana Najimi stop what
Dark metallic adolescents making me think of that again :I
okay here's MY OPINION
TS1: I NEVER REALLY HAD THE FEELING OF IT
TS2:FIRST SIMS GAME I PLAYED IT WAS GOOD BUT MISSING SOMETHING
TS3: PLAYED IT FOR 12HOURS STRAIGHT NOT REALLY BUT I LOVED IT
TS4: LOADING SCREAN FOR EVERYTHING UGGGHHHH
LORD KAPABOW looopredx there is not loading screens for everything 🙄At least the loading screens are 5 seconds and doesn’t take 10 mins to load the game like the Sims 3
VvNeo2000vV yea its not to bad just wished it was open world
Bro It takes like, an hour for my ts2 game to load. Sims 4 takes like, 3 minutes lol. The loading screens in ts4 are not that bad
My personal favorite is the Sims 3. It has the cleanest graphics of the three, and it has all the things that the Sims 2 had, plus a bit more. The pets expansion had horses (which was actually the whole reason I got the game at first, not knowing how much I'd fall in love with the entire thing), I loved all of Island Paradise, and I actually enjoy Into The Future.
The Sims 4.. Meh. It's okay, I guess. It's too expensive and gets old fast. It doesn't have the same immersion and doesn't offer NEARLY as much as the previous games did. It took away a lot of really commonly used features and things players love. Overall, it just fell so short of the rest of the games that I consider it a half-sibling to the rest of the Sims games. It's just so.. wrong.
After watching this video, the sims 4 really needs to bump up it's game.
The next sims game will have even more micro transactions and the removal of all modding tools. Like the rest of ea games these days.
Purchase microcash to make your Sim walk, just 5,99 for 1 square! Hygiene stuff pack for 19,99 which includes bathroom items. Essentials stuff pack for another 19,99 which includes a single bed and a double bed for all your Sim energy needs! Not to mention a fridge full of food (that you have to fill with mtx) ONLY available on the Gold Limited Edition ...and the list goes on.
I loved superstar! How come we never get this kind of experience anymore? :((
Jona Wanders they tried it again with the sims 3 showtime but it pretty much got torn apart critically and disliked by most of the players (I personally loved it though)
You haven't played The Sims unless you woohooed on that red vibrating heart shaped bed ❤👍
They have one of those in 3, too, and if your sims woohoo on it or try to sleep on it, they'll get nauseous and throw up if the vibration is on
Sims 2 feels most real to me and grounded i like sims 3 too but im not sure how i feel on sims 4 i enjoy it i feel its a little watered down
That's being nice. I think of it as more of an empty box that's just filled with cobwebs.
Sims 2 was the best.
jean alto if it only ran better
Yes it absolutely was
Sims 2 and Sims castaway are my favorite
Hell yeah it was. I miss it so much. I recently found all of my Sims 2 discs and tried to install them on my computer but they no longer work correctly 😭😭
I agree
The first time I played this I was 10 (25 now) and instantly fell in love with it. I could binge play for hours even days sometimes. I gifted the original sims to my niece on her 10th birthday. She is obsessed with it already. I almost a right of passage in my family. 😂😂
Seeing this made me happy. Sims 1 and 2 were revolutionary and are still incredibly good, even better than the newer ones imo
Wow ! This documentary is a piece of hardwork .. well done ! I wish if they could integrate sims 2,3&4 together with their expansion packs.
It's crazy how much I remember of the first Sims. Seeing certain countertops or clothing triggers something in my brain from when I was 10 and playing with my friends. Damn, this was a fun trip down memory lane.
I remember playing The Sims when I was 4 . damn what a memory.... :D I miss playing it then go to school,come back home then play it again :D
Me to 😆
Yoshiro ANIME GAMER the best game indeed hehehehe
The funny thing I do is finishing my house and then I accidentally unsave my house 😂
Yoshiro ANIME GAMER hahaha I acidentally did that too. Sad thing tho my sims are having good life good job nice house then I need to re make again ughhhh
Hahaha I know that feel
