Don't skip over the building and furnishing on the rest of the games! Instead, showcase their differences since I believe that's what you going with when doing this challenge. We want to see the whole process in each game to appreciate how much everything has changed
I agree! I've never built in any other game than Sims 4 (own 3 on Steam, but my computer doesn't like it). I'd love to see what it's like in other games.
Yes please don’t skip it James!! I’ve only ever played Sims 4, so watching this was fantastic. And it’ll be great to watch you build it in each of the versions xx
I used to color all the bedrooms with those pastel carpets and matching wallpapers :D I miss flowerbeds from sims1... I used to put them aaaall around the house and my poor sims had to water them ALL the time... Good times lol
I always add those flowerbeds around the entirety of all my "wealthy" Sims' houses in Sims 1 and 2. Remember how once the Gardener, Butler and one of my Elder sims together spent two days to water all the flowerbeds in Sims2, just to start again immediately 😅
I think The Sims 1 is the strongest nostalgia I’ve felt from any game. I remember whenever I’d go to Target with my mom, I’d go straight to the PC game aisle and look at all the Sims expansions. I’d stand there and stare at the display boxes with the fold-out covers showing all the new features. Idk if I ever experienced more excitement than getting a new expansion and reading through the booklet on the drive home!
I loved them and was so excited when my cousin got me Makin’ Magic for Christmas without even knowing The Sims was (and still is) one of my favorite things. I kept the boxes for years and sometimes looked through them
Facts. Those box cases were the beeeeest. My favorite one was "Hot Date". That deep red cover with the silhouettes was just gorgeous. When the Sims 2 first came out, that box cover was unreal. I couldn't even believe it existed. Seeing all the different options you could do to the houses, etc, it was a HUGE jump from The Sims.
@@sarahcole2904 ts4 I think is just way easier than ts1, I tried replaying it the other day and was so caught off guard like... How did I used to do this and manage everyone wtf
I never even thought about how we don't have any indoor plants to water in the sims 4, would definitely help with realistic gameplay but I guess it'd annoy players who didn't want to water them but liked the look of the plant and still wanted to use it
The early Sims games were a reflection of pop culture (and parodies of it) for their times. It was so innovative and really put them on the map in terms of games. I wish Sims 4 would have taken those risks, it had potential. Weird to think its been like 7 years and we're just now getting a likes system.
The size of that room with the pool table made me think of the episode of seinfeld when frank and cosmo are trying to play pool in georges old room but kept smacking the pool sticks on the wall lol
Seeing this makes me soo nostalgic. I miss playing the original Sims game and Sims 2 so much. And please don't skip the building and furnishing in the newer games! I'd love to see what's changed
I would like to see the designing and furnishing process again in other Sims games tbh. 🥺👉👈 Also this is such a nostalgia... I wish they would remaster TS 1 and 2 so we can download those to our laptops. 😿💙
@@NicholasDVanderhoof I have discs for TS2 but my laptop doesn't have CD-ROM/optical driver, I know you can buy an external one. But since you can download TS3 and 4 I thought it would be cool. ^^
@@sludgetime true but assuming EA still has the copyright (which they should cuz Sims 3/4 are still supported) it would be illegal to download a priate version of Sims 1/2 under copyright law in most places.
I loved to build on the road in the first sims, I made tunnels as well as obstacles for the cars. If I didn't like a sim I put their bed on the road. I really want to play it again sometimes. There's just something beautiful about it, and has multi lots, pet baths, spiral stairs, telescopes, cars, actual clothing stores, etc. Which sims 4 doesn't.
@@shawn.spencer sims 3 onwards doesn't have the charm the first two have, 3 is better han 4 in a lot, but it's missing so much of the charm the first two have. Probably because with sims 3 EA really started to notice how money they could make rather than Maxis having fun..!
I LOVE this challenge! I have been wanting someone to recreate the original houses from Sims 1 in Sims 4! Thanks James for delivering once again! Sims 1 is just too iconic and this video reminded me of that. (:
Awww, the nostalgia is strong here. I'd actually like to see more of the building and furnishing in each game -- maybe just do the basic shell of the build off-camera and then come in when it's time to plop in the windows and doors? But yeah, it's actually not a bad little house -- they can use their stuff, they have a nice pool and pool table, it's all a lot of fun! I like it, and I'm looking forward to the Sims 2 version!
Whenever I see the buildmode in Sims 1 my brain thinks the lot is upside down and i don‘t know why. Even if there is something build on the lot. I‘m so confused all the time!
"This is like 7 expansion packs right here." 🤣🤣🤣 And I owned everyone of them too. I think the last time I had played was early Sims 3, but I'm fascinated in having my memory jogged.
This is an especially interesting idea for a builder like James! The differences and evolution of BB mode compared essentially side by side (as opposed to trying to remember which game offered which features)will be fun to watch. The styles and items offered are a bit like little time capsules, too. Great beginning for Semaj, Iled, and Bowser!
I love this idea! Please try to put the screenshots side by side in the last video so we can compare all of them. Edit: I might be wrong, but I think you have no counter space to prepare food on?
It's been so long since I even looked at Sims 1. Nice trip down memory lane. I wouldn't be opposed to more Sims 1, 2, and/or 3. Just realized I don't even have a clue where my Sims 1 disks are, and even if I did, I wouldn't have a way to install because no cd/dvd/blu ray on this computer. lol
If James gets to the sims 4 version of the house at the same time as dream home decorator gets released, then I kinda hope he makes it as accurate as possible to the other houses, and then uses the new dlc to completely renovate it!
I think it'd be really interesting to see how the budget changes in each game too? Like, you could make a house on a budget of say, 60,000 simoleons in each game (just an example), the houses don't have to be the same. For example, maybe 60,000 in the Sims 1 gets you a mansion, but in the Sims 3 you get a modest middle-class level house or whatever. Idk if that makes sense 😅
Definitely would love to see some sims 1 gameplay - it was such nostalgia seeing it again! Would be interesting to see how you could create a storyline with limited interactions etc :)
Man this made me so nostalgic for the Sims 1. My sister bought it, brought it home and I stole it and never gave it back. Building in the overworld without too much hacking was so great.
Can’t wait to see the next parts! Please don’t skip the process of setting the walls and stuff, it’ll be so entertaining to see that too. Great idea and job with this challenge!
I love this idea! I do kinda wish you did a small 2 story part so we can compare stair placements, but maybe you can do another series like this some other time. I liked seeing a glimpse of CAS too. I never played sims 1 so it's all new to me.
Nostalgia trip HARD. Please, please do a few more sims videos! Maybe something that shows a bit more gameplay? It’s been ages and I would love to relive it through you🥺
The sims 1 is so deeply nostalgic for me. My mum was a hardcore simmer, she bought all the “packs” as they came out and seeing the build mode menu, makes me feel things.
This was so much fun!! Such a fun flashback to playing this game. I used to always want the rug you put in the kids room, as well as the egg-shaped chair that you didn't elect to use. I put those two items in like every sing house I made in the Sims 1.
In Sims 1 build & buy mode, if you click again on the categorize icon, they will show categories by rooms. I think not many people know this because it seems no one ever told James..
i honestly think the sims 2 build is so underrated. like yeah you can't flip walls all around and move rooms, but going from sims 1 and then to 2, the build/buy is fantastic.
This series is interesting to me because it's like the house was built in 2000 (sims 1) and you just see the same house throughout the years with little updates here and there like it would be irl with other people moving in and changing furniture and maybe some interior renovation or repainting like people do irl.
You could do a speed build of the building portion and then normal speed for the furnishings. I kinda love hearing you talk about all the differences between Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3 and Sims 4.
Whenever I see someone play Sims 1 I think about just how mind blowing Sims 2 would have been when first released. Maxis did so much between the two games.
the trick to having a nice house in TS1 is picking one favourite angle and sticking to it. Yes once you've done basic furnashing you can go wild and decorate, but it helps a lot.
You totally spaced putting in any LIGHTS!!!!😆 Man the nostalgia!!! I can proudly say I still have ALL😎 of my original sims 1 discs in the cases with the CD keys, plus several burnt discs of old CC!!! Though getting them to work on a modern computer is challenging!!!😩
This video was nostalgic. We are the same age and I've been playing since the sims 1 and all I can remember is the heart bed, I used it ALL the time, pools with no ladders and fire places with couches right next to them, no doors 😅😅
I haven't looked at Sims 1 in so long. There are parts to it that are just implanted in my brain and I instantly have a feeling about them. This will be a fun series. I think I loved 2 more, but I had loved Sim City and Sim Tower so much that I was very excited when the first one came out. I didn't have all the expansions and I didn't remember how little content we had. For 2, I remember being able to actually get all the expansion packs as a teenager able to get money. By Sims 3 days I easily had access to funds and I didn't think about it much. Now I can afford it but always wait for a sale. lol Full circle of Sims life. We want to see the full build for all of them!
Never knew this was a challenge... I already did this on both the PC versions AND the console versions, and on top of that, I attempted to create the same family, and live in each house with them. I tend to use this for my so-called "Sims Days" where I play each game in the series(yes, including the console versions) for roughly an hour and a half each throughout a day. I play the same family and house I built in each game during this day. Now, that's how you celebrate a game series. :)
Oh the feels :D I actually got the Sims 1 complete collection when Sims 2 was out already, but I very much enjoyed playing it. Still have the collection. Such nostalgia! And the house looked really so good :D insane!
I recall building in Sims 1 being BRUTAL. James makes it look easy so either he's really good or I suck at building in Sims1. Probably James is really good.
I was just wanting someone to do this, so thanks! Your house is so cute! My Sims 1 houses were TRASH. It’s funny all the things we forget to include because of bad UI, like alarms and curtains. Lol
I would personally love to see you do a sims 1 lets play. I want to see this simply because that is where I started but I honestly forget what it was like. It would be so nostalgic
One of the reasons why I got into Project Zomboid was because it looks so much like Sims 1 :) when my brother first showed it to me, I was hit with nostalgia from when I was in elementary school lol
My parents bought their first computer when flat screens became popular in the very late 90s and as part of the package we received 2 demo games... and Sims 1 was one of them. About a year or 2 later everyone was talking about it and you could buy it in stores. 🙌🏻 I’ve been playing it since it was a free demo!! 🙌🏻
More Sims 1 please! I miss the audio of that game, which is weird lol. I would love to see a game where you show all the stuff about Sims 1 we might've forgotten existed!
I played Sims1 so much, till this day, in Sims4 I still built and play just from one angle. When I ever change, the house still looks just wrong to me.
I've been a fan of the sims since the very beginning and while I love the advancements of the series over time and what all we can do (4 still easily has one of the best build modes), but I gotta say... I do miss the buy/build catalogs of sims 1 and things like bustin' out and miss just how colorful and zany they could be and how it seemed to have just a little bit of everything style-wise. And I've really missed just having really weird and really colorful things for sims 4 and in a lot of aspects for sims 3 too. But anyways I love videos like this for showcasing each of the games and just the differences they all have and for showing off just where all this came from and how far the series has come
That's a feature I miss from the first Sims. Being able to use th entire lot, right up to the boundaries with fences without having to resort to debug items and the moveobjects cheat.
I also want to see you build the whole thing in the other versions please and I would love to see some sims 1 game play....great video as always thank you.
Semaj creates the strangest front facade and then wonders why he can't place a bed in the front bedroom... classic. You designed the house! You can fix that!
Don't skip over the building and furnishing on the rest of the games! Instead, showcase their differences since I believe that's what you going with when doing this challenge. We want to see the whole process in each game to appreciate how much everything has changed
Agreed!

I agree too! Show the whole process! We don’t care the videos are 30’ long, more to watch ❤️
I agree! I've never built in any other game than Sims 4 (own 3 on Steam, but my computer doesn't like it). I'd love to see what it's like in other games.
I’m hoping he just skips cutting back and forth to make sure the walls are the same and includes the windows and furnishing.
Yes please don’t skip it James!! I’ve only ever played Sims 4, so watching this was fantastic. And it’ll be great to watch you build it in each of the versions xx
No i want to see u building it in sims 2 also, dont skip it. also love you showing off the older sims games
I agree. 💙👍🏼
Yes i played all sims games but the sims 4 is a but missing in places
YES! The Sims 2 is so much different and it deserves the entire process!
Why was I expecting you to build all 4 houses in one video? I've been watching too much twitch hahaha

This just gives me such throwback to sims 1 and all the items I always used to use!!
Oh the feels :D I actually got the Sims 1 complete collection when Sims 2 was out already, but I very much enjoyed playing it. Still have the collection. Such nostalgia! And the house looked really so good :D insane!
I recall building in Sims 1 being BRUTAL. James makes it look easy so either he's really good or I suck at building in Sims1. Probably James is really good.
15:48 i loved that couch, it really looks so comfortable, you could see that it is a pretty velvet, it came with Unleashed EP.
I'm a woman of simple likes. I see sims 1, I give the thumbs up. This is the content for me.
Your reaction to the bed-heart (the sims 1) simply wonderful :D
I don't know why but I hated the moos head so much as a kid. Not for vegan reasons... it felt like a personal thing, his smug aura mocked me.
Cow couches... dont you mean COWches?
OMG SIMS1 !!! (aka The Sims lol) Its been such a long time since I last played it ... Oh the wonderful memories of how it all began ... =D
When you launched sims 1, and the glorious soundtrack hit you! Man, the music in s1 is the best!
Hey James! This is so cool. I love how you furnished this house.
This was incredibly nostalgic 🥺❤ I somehow miss this game. Lol. I played Sims 1 so much when I was younger.
The bed with the heart brings back so much memories 🤣 I always used that bed in the sims 1 🤣🤣 I was like 7 back then haha
The furnishing in Sims 1 gives me some real nostalgia. It's also what most homes in the late 90s in both Canada and America lol
I was just wanting someone to do this, so thanks! Your house is so cute! My Sims 1 houses were TRASH. It’s funny all the things we forget to include because of bad UI, like alarms and curtains. Lol
I would personally love to see you do a sims 1 lets play. I want to see this simply because that is where I started but I honestly forget what it was like. It would be so nostalgic
One of the reasons why I got into Project Zomboid was because it looks so much like Sims 1 :) when my brother first showed it to me, I was hit with nostalgia from when I was in elementary school lol
My parents bought their first computer when flat screens became popular in the very late 90s and as part of the package we received 2 demo games... and Sims 1 was one of them. About a year or 2 later everyone was talking about it and you could buy it in stores. 🙌🏻 I’ve been playing it since it was a free demo!! 🙌🏻
You should do the challenge backwards now too, start in 4 and try and recreate it making your way back
What a fun idea. I can’t wait to see the rest of these.
More Sims 1 please! I miss the audio of that game, which is weird lol. I would love to see a game where you show all the stuff about Sims 1 we might've forgotten existed!
"Feels like I am asking for too much." xD Most Sims 4 players
I played Sims1 so much, till this day, in Sims4 I still built and play just from one angle. When I ever change, the house still looks just wrong to me.
I've been a fan of the sims since the very beginning and while I love the advancements of the series over time and what all we can do (4 still easily has one of the best build modes), but I gotta say... I do miss the buy/build catalogs of sims 1 and things like bustin' out and miss just how colorful and zany they could be and how it seemed to have just a little bit of everything style-wise. And I've really missed just having really weird and really colorful things for sims 4 and in a lot of aspects for sims 3 too.
But anyways I love videos like this for showcasing each of the games and just the differences they all have and for showing off just where all this came from and how far the series has come
omg I miss the sims 1!! The animal decor lol The red heard vibrating bed was my favorite but I always thought it was weird they would use it naked
That's a feature I miss from the first Sims. Being able to use th entire lot, right up to the boundaries with fences without having to resort to debug items and the moveobjects cheat.
I also want to see you build the whole thing in the other versions please and I would love to see some sims 1 game play....great video as always thank you.
This is unlocking the oldest memories I have, I remember sims 1 as being so like cool and futuristic. Now I’m like “what trash, sims 4 would never”
I was not prepared for how nostalgic seeing sims 1 Build and Buy modes would make me 😭😭😭 I loved that stupid game so much. It was my whole childhood
I love it! Can’t wait to see the next one. 👍🏼💙 we need pool tables in sims 4.
Semaj creates the strangest front facade and then wonders why he can't place a bed in the front bedroom... classic. You designed the house! You can fix that!
