Cindy! I’m so happy to see you uploading again. But I don’t want you to spread yourself too thin. Please remember that we love you and to take breaks when you need them! ❤
It's so good to see you back on TH-cam! I know the past few years could have been kinder to you, but I'm so glad to see you stuck it out and found the energy to return to us. I hope you're doing well!
OMG girl you look so good, like in the thumbnail you look like Cara Delevingne. Yes, you look that great, I can't believe your glow up, it's literally amazing.
I love the sims 4 Christmas. Having my sims decorating the tree with their kids and singing carols brings back memories from my childhood. If I have pets in my house (which I usually do) I have them wear pajamas or sweaters, we had a pair of pajamas for our dog that he would wear while we opened presents so it makes it feel more realistic. Also I love getting my kids in front of the tree and getting a nice picture of them I’ve been replaying the sims 3 more lately but I have to admit sims 4 hit it out of the park with the holiday gameplay Edited to add: it’s possible that you won’t get a holiday bonus in the sims 3. The dialogue box will say “due to a terrible fiscal year [sim name] did not receive a bonus.” Kind of an unfortunate realistic touch
So glad to have you back! To this day I have some of your videos saved and refer to them when I'm installing reshade and other mods. Looking forward to new content!
Fun Fact for Sims 2: Santa actually can appear with only the tree lighted up in Sims 2, however he will only leave a piece of coal if you didn't make him cookies. You get a message about Santa being disappointed or smth and can only throw the coal away and do nothing else.
Generations was also brought back for sims 4 but I don't think it's as good as is in sims 3. Seasons for Sims 4 was ok. It got more fleshed it out a bit more cmpared to sims 3. But it was still fun in sims 3 too for the version of it. 👍✌ I guess I would say they are BOTH ok over all. 👍
Cindy I really NEED to know how to get the sims 1 running on my windows 10 pc 😭 I have tried following guides to no avail, I have a disk I got at a thrift store and that didn't run, and neither did any of the full sets I got from abandonware websites =( I need to experience that masterpiece. Any chance you have any tips??
objectively The Sims 4's Winterfest is the best and honestly it's the one that's given me most joys while playing. I have many fond memories of various Winterfest celebrations over the years and honestly the previous games, while charming, can't compare. The holidays part of the Seasons pack is why it's often regarded as the best out of the bunch and trumps all previous versions.
I never liked how father winter shows up at 8 PM he crashes literally every wintesfest party and it doesn’t feel as special to see him more specifically he doesn’t rly feel like Santa I think father winter is a douchebag tbh
@@PleasantSims And a light up reindeer garden ornament that can electrocute your sims lol. Oh also the game has mistletoe! Your sims can do a special kiss under it.
That game has the best energy and most charm for sure. I loved the vibes from makin magic especially with the accordion music and the haunted carnival. It was such a quirky game. I terms of gameplay I found Sims 2 the best though. SImple in a lot of ways compared to Sims 3&4 but so much fun! The basic system was just well structured and even just playing a normal sim living their every day life was entertaining
I no longer watch your vlog channel, but you are so entertaining on this channel. I had no idea your sims channel was this big. Makes me want to get back into sims.
I love it too! And I like how sims can drink different drinks with their meal. So nice and cozy after 100 times of trying to force sims just sit together and eat 😁
I'm so happy we have you back, Cindy! You look so good, I really hope it's a reflection of you being well ❤ This video really boosted my holiday mood haha, so lovely
I find the concept of Santa increasingly creepy as I get older: an old man breaks into your house while you’re sleeping after essentially STALKING you for an entire year and empties his bag on the floor 😂😂😂
you forgot the part where 'he' sometimes gets you something you only ever told your parents you wanted. even as a kid I thought that was weird asf. I told my mom something I wanted one year, but didn't think to write it on my list for 'Santa.' yet, I got that toy for Christmas. from Santa. (seriously parents need to be more cautious with this Santa thing lol).
So glad to see you back with The Sims videos! I've missed these so much. About the video: TS4's calendar and the ability to create and personalize holidays is fantastic. Different countries may have different holidays or even different traditions for the same holidays, plus for everyone on the south hemisphere Christmas happens in summer. And you can just make all of that happen! I wish we had these on TS2 and TS3, I wonder if modding could make that possible.
In Germany they translated Father Winter into "Väterchen Frost" which means "Daddy Frost" and it's a figure from slavic mythology. I think that's so cool, Väterchen Frost is more like the personification of winter instead of Santa Clause
I never celebrated holidays much in The Sims 1, but now I have the desire to go back and do everything I never did. The tree still looks so good too! 🎄 Edit: The fact the chocolate chip cookies have "mercury" in the ingredients. I miss that kind of humor. 🍪😂
although its my least favourite in the sims franchise I do think the sims 4 does seasons and holidays by far the best. I love the interaction of the whole family being able to decorate the tree together
In the Sims 4 you can use the boxes of presents if using a tree that doesn't supplie the gifts. The boxes of presents works just like the presents under the tree and Father Winter will add gifts to it.
I love the ingredients in the Sims 1 cookies. If you know a little bit about science and medicine, a lot of the stuff in them is hilarious, like Mercury (poisonous) and magnesium citrate (a powerful laxative) 😂
Something I love doing in TS4 is making the kid Sims do holiday crafts and then give them to their parents and family members as gifts, it's so cute. I also like making Winterfest Eve a holiday to spread some of the traditions over a few days. Great video, Cindy! It's been so long since I've played TS2 & 3 that it was nice to revisit them. And I had no idea that Santa could appear in TS1!
I love the comparison videos! I have rewatched your plaulist of em do many times when you took your break ❤ im so excited for more comoarisons in the future
lol yup that's the point! it's a funny little nod to the entire goth family, even the family's names are play on words for it Bella Goth is Stella Roth Mortimer Goth is Morty Roth Alexander Goth is Xander Roth Cassandra Goth is Sandra Roth
I just got done celebrating Diwali earlier this week. Thanksgiving is coming up. Then it’s on to the other end of year holidays: Chalica, Chanukkah, Advent, Christmas, Bodhi Day, Kwanzaa, Yule, Pancha Ganapati, etc. I enjoy sharing the season with friends and family love, love, love the lights and candles! So when I wish people Happy Holidays it’s because I celebrate a lot of them this time of year! I’ll admit to enjoying that the Sims 4 has customizable holidays so if I really want to I can make some of these holidays’ traditions in the game. I had completely forgotten about Christmas in the Sims 1, but definitely hadn’t forgotten it in Sims 2 and the many fires that happened! Thanks for making this! It’s fun to see how the Sims games evolved with what was kept, what was removed, and what was added. Makes me feel a bit nostalgic! Great video!
If there's one thing I'll always give Sims 4 their flowers for, it's the holiday system from seasons. It is but far one of the best things they have ever added to the game.
I want to say that I appreciate that you took the time off you needed for you and your person al life but i am super glad you are back your comparison vids are my favourite, and i just love your general vibe, also congrats on making yourself healthier and i wish you well going forward.
Hey Cindy? I’ve got an idea. If you get the growing together pack would you stream it on twitch? There’s so much to discover and it’s usually during family gameplay that would be so fun! Love you❤❤❤
I love the Sims game even at 51 😂😂😂😂😂😂my fav is Sims 3 Still having crashing issues on my Sims 2😢😢😢😢 gonna go through the video you made for that issue
A christmas tree killed my don lothario right after Cassandra had his baby. Probably the most wholesome don ive had in any of my playthroughs because he pretty much died before he could cause any problems
I remember years ago when I played the sims 2, I had my sim go to college, and during winter I put a Christmas tree in the dorm. It of course, went aflame. My sim was the only one who tried to extinguish it and she died. I hadn't saved since starting to play with her so I'd totally lost her, pissed I recreated her and put her in that same dorm. She soon died of fright, at seeing her own ghost.
The sims 4 indepth christmas holiday really surprised me when seasons first came out, The sims 3 though still has to be my favorite (I just really like the giving gift party!)
OMGG I've watched your videos for years and it's inspired me to play the Sims more, I love to see that youve grown as a person and didn't let the negativity bring you down !! and YOU LOOK AMAZINGGG
Even though I feel like the earlier games have much more depth and work put into the animations, I do love how customizable holidays are in the Sims 4. For Winterfest/Christmas I typically end up making "Winter Break" holidays so that the kids/teens can experience a realistic break from school during the days leading up to Winterfest. I feel like one of the issues the pre-made Winterfest has is that it condenses everything into 1 day. Even though the holiday starts at 6 am, realistically you'd have your Christmas tree and decorations up weeks beforehand but if you do that in-game the decorations tradition can't be done. Luckily that's where customization comes into play. I typically have a "Christmas Eve" holiday for Father Winter to come and do the gifts and allow everyone to open 1 gift. It can be a struggle organizing everything since I'm not a micro manage type of simmer but it's so worth it.
I really love to expand Christmas in the sims 4 for one day; then I create the holy night, with a grand dinner and inciting friends in family! (And on holy night you exchange the gifts in Germany)😊
Cindy- I’m so glad you’re back! I was periodically checking your channel and re watching your old videos missed your videos so much!! You completely changed the way I play the game. You’re looking amazing!!
I never knew about the Sims 1 holiday tree! I’m so glad you cover the older games still, they’re so charming and such great games
I still love them so much!
I never was so excited to read COMPARED in my life.
Lol! Hope you enjoy it!

Cindy your sims videos are always spot on. I couldn’t be happier to have you back making new sims videos 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Wow! Sims 4 actually has a huge amount of content for Christmas. Awesome!
You didn't mention the ability to have a baby with father winter! The baby gets a special trait too.
I'm going to do a whole video on that in the future! :)

There is something to like in each game. Sims 3 always slays imo
loved the videoo

I am loving your sims content!!! We missed you!
“Jingaling jinging” 😂 I don’t know why that made me laugh so much 😂 love this video! It’s making me feel festive ☃️
Im so happy that you’re making Sims videos again beautiful! I hope everything is well with you, I love love love these videos ❤️❤️

i love love love this type of videos!! they make me excited to play sims 2 and 3
Thank you! I'm so glad you like them!
If there’s a new years for each game I would love to see that video!
OMG I NEVER KNEW HOW TO MAKE THE CHRISTMAS MEAL IN THE SIMS 2 WHAT THE HECK CINDY
In the sims 3, the female sim got a snow cone machine for winter fest.
Every time I see a New sims 2 video it make me very very happy!
Generations was also brought back for sims 4 but I don't think it's as good as is in sims 3. Seasons for Sims 4 was ok.
It got more fleshed it out a bit more cmpared to sims 3. But it was still fun in sims 3 too for the version of it. 👍✌
I guess I would say they are BOTH ok over all. 👍
Fun fact : in sims 2 you must use that one tree. It won’t Work with yet skinny one unless you have a mod.
love you!! you look good!!❤
Cindy I really NEED to know how to get the sims 1 running on my windows 10 pc 😭 I have tried following guides to no avail, I have a disk I got at a thrift store and that didn't run, and neither did any of the full sets I got from abandonware websites =( I need to experience that masterpiece. Any chance you have any tips??

I had a christmas tree kill my butler in the sims 2 😢
Oh no!! Lol
yesssirrrrrr.
Cindy!!! You look so good!!! That septum suits you literally so much oh my gosh!!!!!
The sims 2 Santa breaks my toilets 😅
In the Sims 2 there is also holiday themed music. It comes from the stereo that looks like a snowman that also comes with the holiday pack.
Oh you're right! I forgot about that one! I did check the stereo because I thought I remembered there was a station!
i had the snowman stereo in sims 3 in the past and it was awesome but now the mod link isn't working for me 😢
@@PleasantSims And a light up reindeer garden ornament that can electrocute your sims lol.
Oh also the game has mistletoe! Your sims can do a special kiss under it.
Call me Kevin approves
I burst out laughing so much because of the ingredients list in TS1's cookies description, that game simply had the best humor in the entire series 🤣
The high fructose corn syrup!
That game has the best energy and most charm for sure. I loved the vibes from makin magic especially with the accordion music and the haunted carnival. It was such a quirky game. I terms of gameplay I found Sims 2 the best though. SImple in a lot of ways compared to Sims 3&4 but so much fun!

I no longer watch your vlog channel, but you are so entertaining on this channel. I had no idea your sims channel was this big. Makes me want to get back into sims.
I also love how you can cook a meal together with your family in the Sims 4, if you have Cottage Living. It's cozy for holiday gatherings.
I love it too! And I like how sims can drink different drinks with their meal. So nice and cozy after 100 times of trying to force sims just sit together and eat 😁
You actually don't need Cottage Living! It came with a free basegame update :)
Sims2 cooking was always so satisfying and nice. It's so cute how Sims1 went about it - they were so ambitious and charming for what it was!
Can’t believe you’re back!! I always enjoy your more ”sims-sciencey” content and approach to the game. 😅
I'm so happy we have you back, Cindy! You look so good, I really hope it's a reflection of you being well ❤
This video really boosted my holiday mood haha, so lovely
It’s so good to have you back, you look beautiful! I love how long your hair has gotten, I hope life has been treating you well ❤
i can’t express how happy i am to see you back, hope you’ve been taking care of yourself
Yggdrasil is the holy tree of the pagans. The Odin tree 💜 Love these kind of vids too! And i am proud of you girl 💜
Not the sims team adding "mercury" as an ingredient in the cookies 😂
Lol! I love those little details!
I find the concept of Santa increasingly creepy as I get older: an old man breaks into your house while you’re sleeping after essentially STALKING you for an entire year and empties his bag on the floor 😂😂😂
thanks for ruining my childhood🥲
@@AnnaColwell-j1c sorry!😭😭😭
I mean...when you put it that way. 😆
No, he's like a fae. So it's more creepy honestly.
you forgot the part where 'he' sometimes gets you something you only ever told your parents you wanted. even as a kid I thought that was weird asf. I told my mom something I wanted one year, but didn't think to write it on my list for 'Santa.' yet, I got that toy for Christmas. from Santa.
(seriously parents need to be more cautious with this Santa thing lol).
All four games have little details that I love. Santa in The Sims 2, the gift-giving party in The Sims 3, and the little interactions in The Sims 4.
these comparison videos are some of my favorites of yours!! i hope you're doing well :D
Thank you so much! I am doing very well!
QUEEN OF THE SIMS 2!

I'm so, so thankful this channel is back. You are thriving. ❤️
Is it really a good Xmas without the traditional Xmas fire?

i can't beleive how much your hair has grown and how much life has seemed to flourish for youu, i love to see this Cindyy!!
I would die for a Sims 2 holiday mods and CC video!
Oooh! Will add to my list!
Evrytime you said Corrnecopia , i got a mini heart attack , Becouse i had to think of the hunger games 😭
I love the comparison videos! I have rewatched your plaulist of em do many times when you took your break ❤ im so excited for more comoarisons in the future
Yay! Thank you!
that house in the sims 2 looks incredibly similar to the goth family's except for the kitchen position!
lol yup that's the point! it's a funny little nod to the entire goth family, even the family's names are play on words for it
Bella Goth is Stella Roth
Mortimer Goth is Morty Roth
Alexander Goth is Xander Roth
Cassandra Goth is Sandra Roth
@@flies_of_firelol it makes sense now, it's like they're cosplayers,I never really played the Roth family so I didn't notice that I guess

I would love to! Can't wait to try that one out!
I'm so glad you're back! Never knew about the cookies in the Sims 1. They should have kept that detail.
I love the Sims game even at 51 😂😂😂😂😂😂my fav is Sims 3 Still having crashing issues on my Sims 2😢😢😢😢 gonna go through the video you made for that issue
Nothing says Christmas like Santa blowing up yer' turlit.

Im still trying to figure out how Dina Goth made a whole turkey, she only had cooking skill level 1. I checked, i couldnt make her make one
i love your personality! its so sweet
I haven’t seen your video since 2021 but woah, glow up!
I liked the Sims 2 and 4 especially the gift giving,I laughed the most at Alice getting beaten by Father Winter 😂🤣☠️
I remember years ago when I played the sims 2, I had my sim go to college, and during winter I put a Christmas tree in the dorm. It of course, went aflame. My sim was the only one who tried to extinguish it and she died. I hadn't saved since starting to play with her so I'd totally lost her, pissed I recreated her and put her in that same dorm.

How did i just learn about the holiday roast!? Thank you Cindy! Great video as always.
There’s gift piles in sims 4 as well.
It's good to see you back doing what you love.
Cindy you are back! So glad to see you grow!
In sims4 there is also two buyable piles of gifts, Father Winter will add presents there too.
