Bella wanting to quit after her first shift is honestly relatable.
LOL :P
Yes😂
She is married to the president and he is making her get a job and won't buy cribs for the twins! I would quit that toxic relationship
@@starshames bro??? did you panic quit or??
she's just like me fr
growing up i genuinely thought my grandmother was lying to me about having to pay taxes bc my sims never had to pay taxes
and you didn't notice that sim in gray overalls come to your lot and after that furniture or decorations disappear?
@@Tevi_L7151 oh definitely the repo man was a frequent guest at my sims houses when i was younger
maybe the "bills" were there form of taxes lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This comment section is the best I’ve ever seen😂
the sims introduced me to homewrecking and it was the best thing ever
every time i want to get wild in the sims 4, i homewreck the goths. mortimer is ONE SPICY MEATBALL.
@@beefy74 same lol
@@beefy74 I always go for Bella if I’m home wrecking the goths
I had people make friends with their housemates mortal enemies or vice versa. Either way, a visit was always a treasured encounter for me...
@@lydia5286 in one of my games i had my sims get married to morty and then cheat on him WITH BELLA.
I actually love the mundane parts of the Sims, I get a concerning amount of joy from dragging the plates to the trash
same !!!!!
Its so fun. I do NOT know why. Ill be so mad my sims house is dirty meanwhile I have 10 empty cans of soda next to my bed
Nothing more romantic than when my date dumpster dives.
I always make my sims wash their dishes like a crazy person, lmao
Especially with the money bin!!
what is with the name of channel?? you WILL be hearing from my legal team.
Tell'em Eddy!
Slapped by legal
I legit thought this was you for a bit, and I guess it kinda still is
What legal team? A groundhog?? A little groundhog in a suit??
Leave Eddy alone!
No I meant the other one
Why does every single sims player ends up killing someone by building them a doorless room 💀💀💀
Right? There's much more efficient ways to kill sims than by doing that lol
@@Kitazia like what? omg
@@anto4380delaguaridaa putting them in a pool and taking out the ladder works pretty well. Or if you’re into cheat codes, there’s lots of options. “Death by flies” being one of them.
I've never done that. Yet. ☠️
I personally like trapping them in a small room with an oven and a lot of stuff so they burn alive
in defense of the mundanity of the sims,,,,,,,,, as someone who often finds the mundanity of real human adult life to be overwhelming and unrewarding, playing the sims has genuinely helped me take better care of myself. idek the last time i played the sims but now forever in my mind is the concept of their needs bars. like if i'm procrastinating taking a shower or taking dishes out of my room, i can visualize the way that that affects a sim over time. anything that i can't see or visualize tends to become lost in the void of intangible concepts for me, but i know that a sim's mood is affected by personal stench or dirty dishes, and i can see the stench clouds that eventually become disgustingly visible and i can see the sims' mood go from "happy" to "grumpy" or whatever all bc there is one (1) coffee mug from the day before that's been sitting on the counter overnight. so even if i can't smell how much i need to shower and i think those two plates on my desk aren't bothering me, i can visualize the sims' mood going from "grumpy" back to "happy" as soon as they and their environment are clean again, and that helps remind me how rewarding those mundane tasks can be. not riches or accolades, but my own mental health is a reward in and of itself :)
I talk to my friends about this concept all the time. Same thing with skills, like since I’ve started cooking a lot I tell people that my cooking skill went from 1 to 2 so I’m not burning Mac and Cheese and my “cooking animations” look better
@@whatsitshortfor don't forget the sparkles in the food!
@@RockinEnabled wait, isn't sparkles is more about good fresh ingredients than skill level?
@@kurokitsune5743 I am not sure, but sparkles mean excellence of the dish afaik. At least they did in ts2-3. Perhaps it is different in ts4, I started playing it just recently, but I can't check it - my sim turned out a good cook right when I created him.
@@RockinEnabled in sims 2 it was definitely a matter of ingredients
My sims always progress cooking very fast, but only fresh fish and vegetables created sparkling dishes
It may be different in later games
I don't know much about 4, but as I remember ingredients just make dishes cheaper in this game
Ah yes, my favorite channel run by fraternal twins.
If they were identical I would find that weird and gross.
yeah that would be so weird i think wed all hate that
I don’t even believe identical twins are real honestly
My dad has been making this joke to my sisters (identical twins) since they were born
I read that as "feral twins", and I thought "Damn. Chantelle has some high standards if Eddy and Tony are considered feral."
Not just fraternal twins, but fraternal bros. Frat bros, if you will.
the crystal logo for the sims is called a plumbob and that pisses me off
rick and morty moment
sbongebob
A plumbob is a tool we use in construction that looks like a diamond on a string to make sure something is vertically level.
I have a plumbob tattoo
@@charlottetullos6979 because it is made of lead, and plumb is lead
I cannot stress how much I cackled at the sims leaving their newborn baby twins on the ground outside.
Man, the Sims. I loved to play it with another friend and we'd make up a conversation for the weird speech bubble subjects that came up!
I was recently at the bistro, and someone left their half naked toddler right in middle of the seating area.
it's sad, in sims 2 sims could pass a child from hand to hand, for sims 3 developers didn't make this mechanic
The amount of times I've told sims to just put the baby in a crib and they pick them up, walk to the crib, walk back, and put them on the ground is infuriating.
“you locked the whole family in a box?” made me laugh cry
i have never laughed so hard
i think an underrated aspect of these videos is the amount of flow in the writing. Like I've seen similar videos and it feels very scatterbrained, but with these videos one topic flows into the next so seamlessly its great
i read that too fast and thought you were talking about the game for a second. like the "frabernah? yepowzo zoolola!" really speaks to you
Eddy said hi to my cat on one of these streams, it will forever be one of my life accomplishments (and my cat’s)
Did you clip it
Can I also say hi to your cat
That's the dream
@@rylanacker right here king th-cam.com/video/yTHFo3_Mmnc/w-d-xo.html
@@jeshwemmy1634 yes you can say hi to all of them (bumbles murphy and dwight)
I appreciate the love for Sims 3, the game feels much more alive than Sims 4. You should talk about the Sims console games, I recently got the first Gamecube one and it holds up surprisingly well.
I like that in the sims three its open world. sims 4 you have to load every lot like c’mon…
Sims om Nintendo DS was weird. The whole running a hotel and aliën story...
the console games are where it's AT!!! most of the sims spinoff games are incredible too, like Castaways and Sims Life Stories etc
Right. I'm so happy they chose TS3 instead
@@beththebubbly69 sims medieval was way more fun than it needed to be lmao
*Tony being horrified at the idea of Eddy locking his family in a box*
Callmekevin: And I took that personally
I would love to see them dive back in but with every expansion pack, just to get the full wacky and wonderful Sims experience. Base game is aight, but the expansions are what make the franchise for me. Keep up the amazing work boys !!
it would be fun if getting like 2 of the 40 expansion packs wasn’t the same cost as the base game
@@danielstaindl5749 you can get second hand sims 3 games pretty cheap online tbf
@@danielstaindl5749 they really are so ridiculously expensive, but that's what sponsor money is for!
They don't have to admit that they didn't pay for the dlc like most of us if they don't want to
I need them to try the ghost hunter career from Ambitions
10:34 there’s an expansion pack for sims 3 called ”ambitions” that allows you to go to work with your sim and actually play it out. All the expansion packs for ts3 are amazing and add TONS of gameplay.
I'm partial to Supernatural, myself.
If only they didn't add tons of load time... I started playing 3 again recently after months of 4 and I am just way too spoiled now. I forgot how much of a task it used to be to save your game or load a new world.
ts3 expansion packs are SO GOOD, esp compared to ts4. i miss my playable horses.....
I took the campaign funds illegally once and my Sim got fired immediately 🙈 He was at Level 10 and it was depressing 😭😂
The Sims 3 experience:
Corrupt politician 👍
Unjust justice system 👎
It makes me really miss the open world, I remember all my Sims were doing their boring lame s*** I would just go around looking at the world and seeing the crazy shenanigans that the other Sims would do.
The amount of sims I casually put in a doorless room with either fireplaces or a swimming pool floor is kinda disturbing to think about
I find this less disturbing than the people who play sims just to do chores for fun
The amount of times I did that as a child might have been indicative of an "emotional issue." BUT I FEEL FINE!!!111111
Am I the only person with thousands of hours in this game who has never intentionally killed a sim?
Eddy, sir, Bella is actually iconic and you don't know what you did. You changed Sims history right there. 😂
You’re telling me that I have to pay taxes? What’s next you’re gonna tell me I can’t lay my babies on the street?
GOVERNMENT OVERREACH
hearing Eddie describe the process of a close friend becoming a distant friend before they fade away reminds me that I need to tend to my irl relationships way more than I do since I've been very aloof. Never thought I'd gain so much wisdom from the sims.
the sims 3 has completely unmatched music like every time I hear it I feel like I'm making a fucked up little guy and buying the most expensive fridge bc I cheated in all my money
Yeah I was just like "You have a little bit of money? No Eddy, you have aaaaall the money bc everyone knows the cheat code."
Sims 3 had me stressing about how I was gonna pay my bills at 9
Y’all forgot to play through the game at 3x speed until you get to the parts you wanna play. THATS how you make a play through baybeeee
"her dream is to quit now, and it's been one shift"
she knows what's up
sims 3 is so realistic that the police act just like real life 🤠
one thing I love about the sims 3 is that certain careers allow sims to gain traits that they can pass down to their kids. like firefighters kids can gain the ability to either never catch on fire or become a pyromaniac
Thats straight up Lamarckian...
the amount of customization was my favorite part of the sims 3 and it is SEVERELY lacking in sims 4
I would spend hours customizing literally every aspect of my sim and their house
It was the only thing I did. I wasn't interested in playing the game, I just made characters and built houses. I made several of my friends and they actually turned out pretty good
The streams were actually hilarious, happy to see the video finally out!
The amount of nostalgia this gave me is insane… I would spend many all-nighters playing Sims 3, definitely got better at taking care of my Sims than myself 🙃
The meltdown at the end 😅 «better throw away the spoiled food because nobody else will..» so accurate.
I have over 1500 hours clocked in this game for a reason, it's so additive. I almost never speed up the clock because I just love watching my sims do mudane shit, like watching ants :)
omg I thought I was the only one almost never speeding up time. I kinda like watching the animations haha
I was obsessed with sims 1 and 2 as a teen…im afraid to get sucked into sims 3 (which i dont even know how its super diff from 2?) because it would take over my life, and I have tv for that now lol.
Eddy's sim went through a bit of a mid-life crisis at the end there lmao.
These boys really rawdogging the sims 3 in the year of our lord 2022
No cheat codes, no expansions, no mods even for performance, NOTHING
Not even the smooth patch or the 4gb patch. Truly, i fear him
what i loved about sims 3, is that you had to use the biggest expansion's CD to play. i collected and installed 10+ expansion and stuff packs from friends because i could just give it back to them and use my larger expansion. i only ever had to buy, like, one.
Same! My friends and I had agreements where each person bought a different expansion pack so that we could all share it lol. In the sims 2, it worked with stuff packs too!
Personally I always fill the household up all the way with roommates for the maximum chaos
i fear you
There's a mod for sims 3 that lets you have up to 24 sims in one household, that would be practically impossible on the no autonomy setting
Nothing like 8 sims, most of them toddlers.
Poor Bella, she was destined to live a life with the rich and grumpy Mortimer, and then be abducted by aliens, and then she had to give birth to a twin to a gamer who can't take care of her and locks her up to starve to death, and the children in an orphanage.
Ah yes, that's why I have a constantly activated cheat testingcheatsenabled true during the game
Having people, who are younger than me, painstakingly explain the sims to me, a game that i first played when i was 14 (sims 1) is just very strange. I feel like a leftover relic from olden times that somehow got found in the ice somewhere and now studied by scientists.
I love the mundane parts personally. I have some health issues that keep me from working a job or doing more difficult household chores. I guess I live vicariously through them since I can't do those things irl.
as someone who has been obsessed with the sims 3 for years, i love the irony of tony building a basement JUST to play video games and eddy actually being the one to trap sims but it coming from his least favourite part of the playthrough. so close yet so far to basement dungeons where the REAL fun begins.
when the burbacks dont know you can cancel your newspaper service with the phone so you dont end up with a yard full of newspapers
the repo man taking the lamp reminded me of one time in the sims 3 i was playing a homeless challenge where my sim worked his ass off playing guitar for money on the streets and could _finally_ afford a lamp in his dark little sad room of a house, then immediately the next night that lamp was stolen by a burglar and he couldn't afford to replace it lol
his sim sitting at the bar with his wife and kids trapped in a room behind him with plain white walls and no bathroom broke me. it fucking broke me lmao i literally cried laughing
You ALWAYS give your first Sim the Neat trait; it’s the only way they clean up after themselves (plus they get a special action that makes them clean the entire lot).
Or a slob, they don't care about dirt and can lick plates
I’ve always been into real estate and interior design so building houses from scratch was always my favorite part of this game.
It was stressful if u didnt use the cheat code to get unlimited money
oh my god that ending lmao. This was a great video, thank you Burback Twins!
i love how you touch on the dlc because i play and the sims 4 and if you don’t have any expansion packs or stuff packs it’s the most boring and average game ever
I agree lol
Sims 3 generations is where it’s attttttt! I really want island paradise
CUSTOM CONTENT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE TRUST ME!
Custom content made it so fun for me :)
@@sunflower7874 I got it and IM IN LOVE WITH IT! I recommend it
as someone whos only played the Sims 4 im astounded by how many awesome features are just absent from that game
Whats diff between 2, 3, and 4? Just got graphics improvements?
Great! Now make a video about the sims 4 and how much its a toxic relationship that so many of us willing stay in despite the way it doesnt work and drains our money
The Sims is one of those games that you play over and over and never get tired even if it's old!
In The Sims3 i love to waste time customizing everything! it's a nice little detail that was needed :)
as somebody who’s only ever played sims 4, i can’t believe how different sims 3 is.
Gameplay wise is very different, especially when we compare The Sims 3 mood system that made emotion much more stable and act as a buff for their subjective well-being, than The Sims 4 emotion system that easy to be manipulated and conditioned. Also, sims from The Sims 3 are able to maintain their own needs than in other version, combined with slower needs decay. I'd say much more forgiving for the newbie simmer.
As a player of sims since 1999 I can really relate on having real life problems/responsibilities and stressing over them 10x more by making my sims do them while procrastinating the real life issues.
The woohoo part was so real, everytime my sims do it I just make sure no one is near my room
the best part about sims was the clothing and material customizer!! it brought so much more than the current sims 4 options
Sims 2 has the best lore and gameplay, Sims 3 is cool because the open world, and Sims 4 is the best for CAS and graphics.
Absolutely loved this video. The sims 3 was a big part of my childhood. I love that Tony got to marry the iconic Bella Bachelor before she went missing. Also I lost it when Eddy found the kids on the ground and said "with the newspaper?!"
honestly I feel like the mundane things are one of the best things about the sims. the first time my sim got acne I was thrilled lmao. I feel like it makes it more realistic, which makes it more immersive and complex, especially when they add up and eventually become a disaster (that's the best part). yeah, part of the sims is about escape, about being able to do crazy things you can't do in real life. but if it feels too perfect or too divorced from reality it's not really doing it's job well enough, so the mundane stuff kinda keeps that integral balance in tact.
I legitimately play the sims in a way that exclusively makes life as difficult as possible for as many sims as possible. Theres a whole cursed family save - it makes me feel better about how things are going for me
There’s a lot I could say about the sims but the biggest thing is that I play on the PS3 still (only available option for me rn) and have been for probably almost a decade, and it still holds up both in entertainment and functionality. I love it, and tho some aspects bug me, I’ve probably spent as much time on it as I have Minecraft, which I’ve had on the same console for probably just as long and enjoyed just as much
ayyo its those guys that post sometimes
I remember this game being fun, then I remembered my sister and I played with the infinite momey glitch. Money really does equal happiness 😅
I love so much that you added “if you’re lucky” bc yeah a lot of us had to grow up filling in for the parental role
i actually love the mundane aspect of the sims, it's weird but my style of gameplay is literally just living a normal life
The Sims 3 theme always gives me a mini heart attack now because I made the mistake of making it my ringtone. Now I hear it and I feel like my phone is ringing even though I know its not. 🙃😂
I gotta say, I was enjoying the video for the first minute, and actually getting a little stressed out by the whole taxes/jail thing; but the moment those energetic strings came in from the beginning of the sims 3 theme, I was physically smiling. The vibe of the Sims is just so... something. It can be stressful at times, sure, but atmosphere of the game usually is about optimism, about things being weird and strange but interesting and compelling.
If you were a policeman with a very good level, you could have arrested the thief yourself because good level In careers unlock many hidden interactions. You could have also fought him
I love how they straight up ignored that The Sims 4 exist lmao. The Sims 3 were the best anyway
Always a good day when you get to spend time with the Burback boys
The way you describe the mundane tasks as boring and tedious is fascinating to me because I am a very family oriented simmer. A lot of my gameplay is just the normal day to day of their lives, and I like micromanaging to an extent. But, I also grew up playing with sets of family dolls more than I played video games of any kind. I’m sure that is a huge reason for the different gameplay styles!
"You locked the whole family in a box?"
Oh I loved the book (adapted into a movie by the same name) Room by Emma Donoghue.
Really great job with the channel, guys! I enjoy each episode more and more to the point that I enjoy them equally as much as Eddy's main channel videos. I think the tone, narration, and overall storytelling especially deserves praise
The doo wop music casually drowning out the sounds of eddy quickly slipping into madness has never felt more relatable
I remember excitedly tearing open my copy of the Sims when it first came out and creating a Sim of myself the best I could, and set to work trying to recreate my current life. After playing for like four hours my Sim version was crying in his room refusing to do anything because he was too sad. I have never been angrier about time spent in a game. I literally threw the game away, something I had never done before or since. Still have no idea how anyone can stand to play the Sims.
The "most played" portion of the video is RIGHT AFTER the ad break lollllll
if you dont wanna do all the basic hygien and feeding, just open settings and put the self thinking option on high.
I do like the idea of Bella deciding to become a "music fan" going to one concert and just thinking 'nah this music stuffs shit I want to quit listening to it.'
Additionally, the fun with Sims comes from the fact that. You can live out a completely different life than the one you currently have. In Sims I can be a criminal master mind who sacrifices his enemies to his garden, or a science deviant trying to get laid by aliens. Sometimes, we often wonder "what if" and I find the Sims is a great way to just playout our own personal alternate realities.
I think tony should say "and don't get me started on homework" in videos way more often tbh. it's a good catched phrase
That sim definitely passes the eye test -- thought the thumbnail was on a different channel name, and thought "huh, someone made an Eddy Burback."
Y’all never fail to make an explanation super clear but also entertaining. Top quality content 👍
Please Eddy and Tony, I need another Burback video, I’ve watched all of them too many times now
This happened to m in the sims 4 but one of the craziest shit that has happened to me was that after finally finishing a sim that took me a whole day just to make (+ another day making the house) and when i start my games i always like to cook FIRST and i made toast and eggs and then my sim caught on fire, and JUST STAYED THERE TO DIE THEY DIDNT EVEN TRY THE OPTION WAS STUCK
I'm sure someone's already said this, but if there's one thing worse than a kleptomaniac that hates kids, it's a kleptomaniac that loves kids
I was 100% certain this was a CallMeKevin video. So much so that when I saw the Burback logo, I thought it was a collab.
A man can dream.
This is why I always cheat and get a butler
5:06 “Sorry babe the dumpster calls to me”
This video simultaneously reminded me why I played Sims 3 and why I quit. Two thumbs up! 👍🏼 👍🏼
The woohoo cut scene in sims 2 was a lot worse, especially playing on the family computer and worrying someone would walk in 😂
nooo the mundane bits are fun sometimes like making my sim brush their teeth was a special little activity and they got the minty breath moodlet i liked that
This video makes me wanna save harder for that gaming computer just so I can play my Sims 3 collection again 😭
the fact that Eddie made Tony's name "Tony Bologna"
The Sims is legitimately the only video game my mom ever plays. My dad and I tried to get her into playing RPGs like she wanted to (pillars of eternity specifically because shes obsessed with crit role) and she would constantly ask my dad what she was supposed to do because...its an RPG. You kinda get free reign. Theres no "right" option. Just your decision. But this confused her so much she eventually stopped playing. Then there was that time we all tried to play an mmorpg together and man that was irritating constantly babysitting her while she ran off in the wrong direction. But in the end she happily went back to sims. What in the world is so fun about digital people lighting themselves on fire? Or living the stress of child rearing all over again? Then again I think she just uses it as interior design simulator
Because you can set the sims on fire. Yourself.
Especially after _they kept kicking over trashcans_
so now
they burn : )
I used it to make babies and see how they looked as they aged lol
Great video, making me remember my Sims 3 days. You need to talk about the expansion packs!
Missed opportunity to talk about its surrounding economy, communties, the erotic stuff people make, the mods, there's really a crazy amount of stuff surrounding this series.
That’s a low bar, I’m impressed it managed to limbo its way below it
Genuinely embarassing how much of me as a person was influenced by the hundreds of hours I sunk into this game as a kid
Small thing, really appreciate the little yellow bar you put in during the ad
All I've ever wanted was for you to splice in the clip from lost where Jack screams "we have to go back" at the end of that video
