@@TheRedPlumbob well, the birds from the "cottage living" expansion are ok, but the birds from the "backyard" pack are terrible, in my opinion, the bird models should be replaced with those from the "cottage living" expansion, it would also be useful to have some interaction between these birds that would make them more than just an unsightly decoration.

I believe it was a conscious decision because we now have a whole discussion on the cruelty of big birds being kept in tiny cages, for example in the first sims hamster cages were so tiny and now they are really big in sims 4, but for a parrot cage to be considered "humane" it would have to be a whole ass habitat. Yea people still keep parrots in cages but most of the time the parrot is let loose at home and a loose parrot in a sims house i guess would've been another full pet like a dog or cat and not just an object pet like a hamster or a fish on a fish tank.
@@roedoresdeoliveira That branch cage in TS3 would’ve been a decent solution to give the player the choice to own a parrot for example and still be humane. The bird technically wouldn’t be caged in then, so it would be able to fly around the lot whenever it wants to stretch its wings. They could still keep that tree as well that they do have, but add a few more interactions.
@@HolidayflowergirlExactly. The branch cage would be great because it lets the bird fly around whenever it wants. It makes the whole room its cage. Something like that would have been really nice
@@roedoresdeoliveiraTrue, but Sims has already done "loose pets", and they can lock doors for certain sims or animals, it is possible for them to make larger cages and the option of a walk-in aviary + allow to have the bird loose in the house, but they're nothing but lazy now. Even if they weren't pets, the birds in Sims 4 are worse looking than the ones from Sims 1
I've never played the Sims 3 but I feel like adopting a pet like rodents and birds in the neighborhood or anywhere outside feels like catching a pokemon.
Yes, it is! Finding birds, rodents and reptiles out and about is always so much fun! You can also find and collect a variety of insects like ladybugs and butterflies as well. Not to mention the other animals out and about. Like raccoons and deer and unicorns.
@@Firestar-TV some of the far leftists folk think that breeding pets for profit is offensive… only adoption is fine in their mind… EA always listens tomthe smallest possible minorities ever.
I never understood why the sims 4 team never bothered with having birds as pets. Maybe bc of the "morality" side of it? na, that's just an excuse. They are lazy as usual. You could let the birds out of the cage on the previous games. in sims 3 you even had a little tree thingie...What a missed opportunity in my opinion. They did a good job with the hamsters on the Stuff Pack. Oh well, Sims 3 wins. Without a doubt! also, low poli birds are awesome! love them :D
I am so tired of seeing this lazy accusation. it literally makes no sense to assume a team of devs are just sitting around, twiddling their thumbs, doing nothing all day, just too lazy to work. These people often have a passion for their craft, went to university to expand on their skill, but whenever a feature a person wants in a game isn't there, it's just because they're lazy. Like seriously?!
@@danithoLazy is the wrong word for sure. They are more passionate about excluding content from packs and then selling them in another for more income.
I would honestly be shocked if they added actual pet birds to TS4, and they would absolutely sell it as a DLC like My First Pet Stuff. Like, TS4's way of implementing things is so absurd. To get almost everything TS3 had in the Pets expansion pack for $20, people playing TS4 had to buy cats and dogs for $40, a lump sum of rodents for $10, and then horses for $40. $90 for half of everything TS3 had. It'll either be stuff packs or kits that have a small selection of birds. THEN, there will be another one for reptiles.
Right? Sims 3 pets had cats, dogs, horses, birds, rodents, reptiles, fish and bugs as well, I believe. I am pretty sure I remember going out and collecting bugs. I think you could put them in little terrariums or something. Not to mention the unicorns as well. I loved keeping horses in that game and taking it to shows and then trying to tame the unicorn by the lake and make hybrid horse babies. It was so much fun! Too bad The Sims 4 is too cheap to compare.
as always, sims 4 goes for wacky and weird over intuitive and natural. and they do it in a half-assed careless way too, no attention to details. so the result is a gameplay that feels weird and lifeless that the player won't feel connected to
In TS2 sometimes a flying bird gets stuck at doors. This glitch can only be fixed by removing the door (along with the bird). 💔 So its better to keep the cage closed most of the time.
Nonono, buying cages is animal abuse, how dare you try to enclose little animals into a minimal space 😡 Btw I’m joking, pretty sure I read this _un-ironically_ when Cats & Dogs released
@@TheDrownedGod262 $40 USD? no no no, features like this will likely cost a Premium $60 USD *GAG*, it's a joke of course....but then again....are we sure that Greedy EA Won't try to pull a fast one....yet again?
@@Johnmc130 I know you're joking, but I'm genuinely confused why people think that this is the intention and or reasoning behind why the sims 4 left out birds. I genuinely just think they just forgotten about them and thought that there wasn't much you could add with them. Uh, though the sentiment that little animals therefore must need little space, is somewhat misleading. It's fine in a video game, at like at least with the sims 2 and 3, they allowed the option to allow birds to roam the house and or go outside, but just because something is small doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't deserve space
I gotta say, there's just something about the way the parrots are animated in Sims 2. It looks like they studied the way birds move so closely and replicated it perfectly (only execption is the flying but oh well, cant have everything) . The sound design is also perfect, the tapping on the bar when they walk around and the noises the make fit so well. Sims 3 birds are also really good but imo missing a little bit of the heartfelt details compared to Sims 2 in regards to presentation. The expanded gameplay is great of course
This channel got me playing sims2 again 😅 So many details in the game. Learned yesterday while waiting for a taxi you can use the same phone booth to prank call.
I have a fear of dead animals so whenever a fish, caged critter, or bird died in the games, I was traumatized. Now I only play with cats, dogs, horses, cows and llamas.
08:32 I've seen scarlet macaw from up close as a kid and I had to search it up when I saw the sim just carrying the bird in the arm because I remember it being HUGE also at the same day that I was with the scarlet macaws, I was eating chips from far and the 3 scarlet macaws saw the chips and chased me 😭 since then, I'm scared of birds
The Sims birds, be them low res, are still a nice addition to the game. The Sims 2, while only offering the large birds, still enhanced the graphics and gameplay. Sims 3, went above and beyond its predecessors, especially with the ability to pal around town with them, and not only brought back the small birds, but so many more species for both small and large, as well as multiple ways to obtain them. Sims 4 brought back more of the low res, and while there are a couple added nuances, the limitations fall below the even the 1st game. Sims 4 also needs additional packs to add more birds, but the animations and gameplay are not even different (dlc for dlc in Sims 4 DLC Simulator). Clearly, Sims 3 wins here❣
The technical leap from Sims 1 to 2 is almost unbelievable. I remember drooling at my cousin's PC because it could run Sims 2 and mine could not, and when I finally got a decent one Sims 2 could not be played anymore and Sims 3 was out.
It was a hilarious video:))) 'Tastes like chicken'!🤣 Sims 1: "What a variety! Great details! How did they pull it off 20 years ago!" Sims 2: "Such an incredible animation, trully astonishing!" Sims 3: "I've been playing this game for 10+ years but I haven't seen all of the birds!" Sims 4: "Bugaga.... Ahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"
Interesting detail about sims 3 birds: large bird can "imitate" the sound of ther doorbell(the sim that heair it will go outside to check the door) and the phone ring tone (The sims that hear it will answer the phone and get angry when they realize it didn't really ring). in my game it happend two times: first with a falcon and the second time with a sixsam owl, i didn't teach them to do that, they just knew it so i don't know how to trigger it.
Back in primary school; i was playing sims 2 pets and i discovered the birds first time i loved it especially when they're flying around the house but i didn't know the birds can be dead at that time i heard that noise they make when they're falling in a cage at first i didn't understand what happened but then i realized that my loving bird is dead i was shocked because it was looking realistic for me, i felt horrible and i cried that day😂💔
FINALLY, THANK YOU! Birds were always my faves, but sadly I never got my hands on Sims 3 & de facto their birds are the best However, you forgot to mention Aviary palace cage from Sims 1 - its the largest cage of all 4 games, and only one which can house up to 15 birds!!! Its also one of the most beautiful buy mode objects in all 4 series
If im remembering correctly, in the sims 2, birds could also die from neglect. My sims often wanted birds when they were in university. So i would make sure they were fed, but i never really interacted with them. After a while, the bird would start pulling its feathers out and then die after a couple of days
I remember the first time I had a big bird in Sims 1, I forgot to feed it for two days (I was a kid back then), and when I remembered I had a bird, when to check on it and found the poor thing upside down. Never again I forgot to feed my birds in Sims 1.
Sims 2 birds are the most high poly, but Sims 3 really adds a lot of gameplay and variety! And WOW coldblooded - I had no idea cats could kill in Sims 1 and 3!! Especially in Sims 1 it's shockingly good animation AND coldblooded how the cat can open the cage and everything! Sims 4 would/could never.
I enjoyed how you showed all the birds - interactable and just for liveliness. I esp enjoy learning something new about the games I hadn't played. I might have done a spit take when it was like crow, amazon, falcon... BAM BIG BLUE OWL. Thank you!
cats and dogs honestly could’ve just been a pack for all pets, and they didn’t have to add in brindleton bay. i would’ve been happy if it was just a pack of cats, dogs, birds, rodents, that were all as high quality as the cats and dogs. just all pet stuff, pet build items, CAS, gameplay. they didn’t need to add a whole world, they could’ve put that budget into giving us more actual pets of better quality
While watching these videos, I notice again how much I love the Sims. I enjoy your videos a lot. They feel so wholesome. Thank you for all the effort. 💚
Sims players relationship to EA nowadays feels like one of those movies where a person ask their partner why they never do anything together anymore or buy each other flowers or talk about things and instead of seeing the meaning of what they're saying, the partner just say something like "you want flowers? I'll buy you flowers if that's important."
As a kid playing the sims 2 having no idea how to play it... I... didnt know how to clean the cage and was confused why they kept dying. So I just deleted the cage with the dead parrot and bought a new cage.
I had no idea you could teach the parent to dance in sims 1. I still play sims 1-3, and I swear I will never stop finding secrets for sims 1, sheesh, what a game.
I love how much TS3 gave into their expansions. TS3: Pets literally kept you sated with given pets, and TS4 is taking how much to even reach that single expansion pack greatness?
There are also the flocks of pigeons and seagulls in Sims 4 which cats can chase and bring back feathers. Sims can also scare them. It's not much really. The only flocks which you can interact with are in the cats and dogs world and the get famous world. Flocks exist in other worlds but you can't interact.
I like Sims 3 if it were not just so buggy. Certain maps Animals will get stuck and cause lag at certain places, and need to be reset or better be deleted as there is a high chance they will just pathway their way back into the buggy place. My mother has mostly problems with Horses getting stuck, while for me it´s birds. Not to mention the entire House boat problem, which is so bad that we just delete all houseboats, as sims have problems getting back home sometimes and it screws with their pathways, again causing lag, together with all the cars and needing mods to regularly reset or delete entities, so the game does not simply crash. It has its charm and is more fun to play than Sims 4 sometimes, but just so many buggs or things not working properly, that it makes me cry sometimes. It has so much potential and I just wished instead of Sims 4, they actually worked more on Sims 3 and fixed all the stuff wrong with it. It also makes me sad how much Sims 4 is lacking and how greedy Ea is with all the packs and cutting certain dlc´s like the Monster one with all the Fantasy races from Sims 3, into like 3-4 different packs in Sims 4 with each costing 40 Euros and providing less stuff than the average DLC in sims 3, not to mention all the stuff that has yet to be added that existed in sims 3, to sims 4. I know it's not the developers at fault but simply Ea and its greed.
sims 3 pet birds dont learn to talk in my game aswell. like i get the notification but it doenst change anything. no new interaction, the “teach to talk” interaction is still there. also they relationship never rises. makes me sad, i remember if working perfectly when i was younger it was so much fun. i have a vanilla game aswell, no mods. idk why its not working.
There are also Sixam Owl and Raven Familiars for Spellcasters in Realm of Magic. Life & Death has also now added a perched Crow. (Two actually. A regular one that needs fed, and Grim's Ascendent Crow that doesn't)
I can understand why the birds in TS1 were low-poly since it was in the early 2000s and graphics weren’t that great back then. But with TS4, I don’t think I can give them the same excuse. It feels like adding birds was a last minute idea so they squeezed them in right before release. Either that, or they were simply lazy as usual. That’s the only explaination I can think of. If I have to rank them, I’d say TS3 wins, closely followed by TS2.
lol the small birds you zoomed into from the Sims 1 are literally nothing and then sims 4 is out there with bird models that actually look worse than the rest of the Sims 1 birds... I love the Sims 3 owl, it's so pretty.

I enjoyed how you showed all the birds - interactable and just for liveliness. I esp enjoy learning something new about the games I hadn't played. I might have done a spit take when it was like crow, amazon, falcon... BAM BIG BLUE OWL. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
That male duck with reduced copies 19:05 😂😂😂 (that's not how a female with ducklings looks like, they are all brown)
I didn't know that! Thank you for pointing it out
Sims 2 can do no wrong in my eyes but Sims 4 disappoints yet again lol
And of course Sims 3 overachieves, as usual lol
Sims 3, no doubt about it! My sims has a parakeet right now :D
15:48 He Look Like He Still Alive Just Looking Upside Down
16:01 And 16:23 Improved This By Making The Animate More Death Like
this is why sims3 is the best. i always had a bird in my home in sims 3 and i loved looking for birds and bringing them home. so much to explore
My favorite low poly bird are the chickens before they made modeled chickens.
I like Sims 2 Bird since it brings back memory.

cats and dogs honestly could’ve just been a pack for all pets, and they didn’t have to add in brindleton bay. i would’ve been happy if it was just a pack of cats, dogs, birds, rodents, that were all as high quality as the cats and dogs. just all pet stuff, pet build items, CAS, gameplay. they didn’t need to add a whole world, they could’ve put that budget into giving us more actual pets of better quality
Birds are immortal in The Sims 4? Cool!
The lorikeet being the same size as cockatoos and macaws is cursed, but ngl I’d love one that size in real life.
While watching these videos, I notice again how much I love the Sims. I enjoy your videos a lot. They feel so wholesome. Thank you for all the effort. 💚
@@Klara100100 This makes me happy! Thank you :D
Sims players relationship to EA nowadays feels like one of those movies where a person ask their partner why they never do anything together anymore or buy each other flowers or talk about things and instead of seeing the meaning of what they're saying, the partner just say something like "you want flowers? I'll buy you flowers if that's important."
Why did the birds poly count get WORSE after sims 2 lmao
cause ea has 0 standards
As a kid playing the sims 2 having no idea how to play it...
I... didnt know how to clean the cage and was confused why they kept dying.
So I just deleted the cage with the dead parrot and bought a new cage.
In Sims 2, idc what the game says. That's a Kestrel.
I had no idea you could teach the parent to dance in sims 1. I still play sims 1-3, and I swear I will never stop finding secrets for sims 1, sheesh, what a game.

16:27 The timing of the laughter 😆
I love how much TS3 gave into their expansions. TS3: Pets literally kept you sated with given pets, and TS4 is taking how much to even reach that single expansion pack greatness?
True! Reptiles are still missing even til this day
There are also the flocks of pigeons and seagulls in Sims 4 which cats can chase and bring back feathers. Sims can also scare them. It's not much really. The only flocks which you can interact with are in the cats and dogs world and the get famous world. Flocks exist in other worlds but you can't interact.
Yeah, I forgot to mention those. Thank you!
I like Sims 3 if it were not just so buggy. Certain maps Animals will get stuck and cause lag at certain places, and need to be reset or better be deleted as there is a high chance they will just pathway their way back into the buggy place. My mother has mostly problems with Horses getting stuck, while for me it´s birds. Not to mention the entire House boat problem, which is so bad that we just delete all houseboats, as sims have problems getting back home sometimes and it screws with their pathways, again causing lag, together with all the cars and needing mods to regularly reset or delete entities, so the game does not simply crash.
It has its charm and is more fun to play than Sims 4 sometimes, but just so many buggs or things not working properly, that it makes me cry sometimes. It has so much potential and I just wished instead of Sims 4, they actually worked more on Sims 3 and fixed all the stuff wrong with it. It also makes me sad how much Sims 4 is lacking and how greedy Ea is with all the packs and cutting certain dlc´s like the Monster one with all the Fantasy races from Sims 3, into like 3-4 different packs in Sims 4 with each costing 40 Euros and providing less stuff than the average DLC in sims 3, not to mention all the stuff that has yet to be added that existed in sims 3, to sims 4.
I know it's not the developers at fault but simply Ea and its greed.
sims 3 pet birds dont learn to talk in my game aswell. like i get the notification but it doenst change anything. no new interaction, the “teach to talk” interaction is still there. also they relationship never rises. makes me sad, i remember if working perfectly when i was younger it was so much fun. i have a vanilla game aswell, no mods. idk why its not working.
Sounds like a bug that was never fixed :/
In my opinion, Sims 3 birds looked WAY more realistic back then...I mean do we have to talk about the Sims 4 birds...?
Funfact: Cats and Dogs from Sims 4 also added birds but they are just chaseable seagulls
Great video and well done for capturing all those low poly birds, I imagine that took some doing! 🐦
Thank you! The hardest part was just remembering the specific spots. I couldn't remember where to find pidgeons in Sims 4 but I know I've seen them
Low-poly Polly’s make the world go ‘round 🐦
There are also Sixam Owl and Raven Familiars for Spellcasters in Realm of Magic. Life & Death has also now added a perched Crow. (Two actually. A regular one that needs fed, and Grim's Ascendent Crow that doesn't)

He just causally kidnapped that birb
Such adorable video ❤🕊 Love Sims 2 implementation of flying birds in the house. Very impressive
I think in Sims 3, if there are two or more bird trees, the big birds can go to a different one when flying around.
You're correct, my bird often flew from the tree to the cage lol
Common Sims 3 W
They added upon what Sims 2 had created, and they’re just a tiny part of the Pets expansion pack
Sims 4 birds is like you're in a fairytale 😂
Holy crap the sims 2 and 3 bird death is so morbid 😨
Wait... there's OWLS in sims 3?! 😮 Now i need to go find them!
They're extremely rare apparently
The fact that Sims 4 birds look worse than Sims 2 which came out twenty years ago 💀
I realllly miss sims 2 but I think I’m going to re download my sims 3 tomorrow and play my
"There's a penguin that visits sometimes" what?
Yep, there's a penguin! I'll talk about unique animals once I get to horses
I can understand why the birds in TS1 were low-poly since it was in the early 2000s and graphics weren’t that great back then. But with TS4, I don’t think I can give them the same excuse. It feels like adding birds was a last minute idea so they squeezed them in right before release. Either that, or they were simply lazy as usual. That’s the only explaination I can think of. If I have to rank them, I’d say TS3 wins, closely followed by TS2.
Such an adorable video ❤🕊 Love Sims 2 improvement that allows birds to fly around. Very impressive
the sims 2 is still the best with it's animations for anything and everything
The squack of the big birds in sims 1 was so annoying lol.
Yes! Why are they so annoying? It's like they're punishing the player for buying a bird lol
@@TheRedPlumbobtbh that’s accurate to real pet birds lmao
God how are the birds in sims 3 better looking than sims 4
I was so sure sims 4 didn't have birds 😅 I forgot all about cottage living. Too bad there are only wild birds.
lol the small birds you zoomed into from the Sims 1 are literally nothing and then sims 4 is out there with bird models that actually look worse than the rest of the Sims 1 birds...
I love the Sims 3 owl, it's so pretty.
7:35 I haven't laughed that hard in a while
