Just the music brings back so many memories 🖤🖤🖤 I actually met my now husband on The Sims Online in 02 😂 We've been together for almost 22 years and have a daughter. Thanks Maxis!!!
Wow, this was very impressive❣ I began my Sims journey with Sim City, and when The Sims first came out, I never knew how challanging the game would be, so I thoroughly relate to discovering the "cheats menu". 😂 With the introduction of expansion packs, life got more complex, but easier to manage motives (without using cheats). I do remember everytime I moved my Sims to that mansion, it was a big let down, because I had invested so much time building an even bigger and more luxurious mansion on the first lot I purchased lol.😂 I do still go back and play from time to time, and through the years, The Sims still pulls at my heart strings (even though I still find Sims 2 to be the best in the series). I am so glad that I was recommended your videos, and I am having so much fun exploring your content❣ Thank you for sharing with all us Sim fans, old and new❣🥰
I was an adult when the game released, in my early 20's. I noticed I am much older than many I hear reminisce about the game. I used games like this to relax and unwind after a hectic workday.
Me too played Sims in my early 20s and never could afford the expansions. Lived with mom and worked a crappy little job. My mom barely touched the home computer, so it felt like my personal machine tho it was in the family room. I rotate sims 2 and 4 these days and have a laptop and a desktop better for games. But sims is absolutely a fun after work chill activity when I don’t want an intense game.
I was about 10 when I first played The Sims and it was at my neighbors house. I would go over and play for hours as my family did not have a proper computer at the house. Two years later, my oldest brother convinced my parents to get a power Mac G4 and they did. Apple had The Sims available at the time and I spent countless hours playing it. This brings back so many memories. I’m a 30 year old who now plays Sims 4 on a laptop!
As I have revisited The Sims 1 recently as an adult, I can confirm that it is a hidden survival horror game. What was pure innocent fun in childhood, has now uncovered its harsh depiction of modern capitalist society. Playing it can feel mostly exhausting, like real life. But around that dark core, there is still a lot of creative fun to be had! Some aspects surprised me with their depth, like dating in community lots, which honestly felt the most fun compared to newer Sims games. Thank you for this excellent essay! Your channel is amazing 🎉
Why does this video feel like a true crime documentary??? I'm having a great time, though. Amazing video. Edit: It was just the intro. I'm not scared anymore.
I came upon The Sims franchise during Sims 2 so this was a cool way to learn about the one I missed. Here's hoping they shock us all during the summit and announce they're bringing Sims 1 and 2 back to play. I know it won't happen but I can dream 😂
Rekowski, Part 2 could be a brief overview of all the Sims 1 expansion packs. Also hoping you do a Sims 2 retrospective and maybe even a Sims 3 retrospective as well
@@Rekowcski, You probably should try to do a single video on some of the things EA actually did right with the Sims 4, just to be fair, since there are at least a few things that are kind of hard to argue with.
When I was 10, I remember eagerly starting up The Sims for the first time. Prior to that, I had played SimCity 3000 and SimCity 3000 Unlimited (borrowed from the library) and stumbled upon a short trailer of The Sims in the files. I was thrilled and begged my dad to buy it for me. It felt like ages, but one evening my dad surprised me with The Sims after coming home from work. Despite my super slow-loading PC, I played it that evening and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I eventually collected every expansion pack. The best part of that time was definitely the music, and I still listen to The Sims soundtrack on Apple Music once in a while.
I liked it even before watching. So much research, such great editing! I know how hard you must have worked on this video and I can't even express how much I appreciate it. TS1 will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for keeping it alive.
This was awesome! The Sims was a game I wanted to play from the moment I read my first article on the first game. Unfortunately I had no computer to play it on and wouldn't have one for several years. I did get Sims on the PS2 so that helped! Ah, the joy of sims who grump about a lack of sleep! Housemates who refuse to answer a phone! The no days off from work or school! The burglar music that scared me half to death the first time it played, the social worker taking my baby away because my sim was too busy complaining about being woken up to go and take care of her, the Goths constantly mourning at the graves of loved ones and the wonderful build/buy music. Ah. Thank-you for the tour down memory lane. Now I think I have to boot up my game and go play some!
"Your Sim, previously cheering on a rubber plant, obeys." The dry way of saying this line sells it. :D Interesting way of doing a retrospective by putting the viewer into the position of playing the game, so to speak. Haven't seen this approach yet and I enjoyed it very much. It transports the sense of wonder, discovery and frustration that the game projects. Any plans on doing this for the other Sims games too or was this more of a one-time thing to pay proper respect to the origins of the franchise?
I bought this game at a garage sale when I was a kid and became a simmer ever since☺️ Also put the sims 1 soundtrack in my videos when I started on TH-cam and after that found other simmers doing the same and it’s so calming ☺️
The music and mood bring ls back nostalgia! Wonderfully written descriptive writing as you walk through the experience playing the Sims 1 in the early 2000s.
_Tbh you make me feel comforted, you remind me of something I don't have I guess. A good friend to sit and chat with about stuff we obsess over, someone to listen to ranting about the sims XD I love infodumps but rarely hear ones I'm interested in personally so this is fun to listen to. The other comment is correct you do have a good voice for voiceovers it actually sounds quite professional. I'm not well so your videos keep me some company too. Sorry for tmi just trying to say your content is a positive impact that's all. Well done, it's very informative._ Hope your kitty Kyle is doing well 🌈✨🐈 My childhood best feline friend looked a bit like him she was either a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest cat, probably the latter cause I'm from UK. She was called *Fluffy* (for obvious reasons), I found her when she was just a kitten... was playing in my nan's back garden she was a stray & my nan immediately took her in, she was technically with me the most though, I miss her so much
Played it so much back in the days! Really considering just buying an old PC with disc drive and buying The Sims 1 with all expansion packs physically…
I still play The Sims 1 Complete Collection regularly, of course getting a job isn't my priority, since I always use rosebud cheat so I can fully enjoy building houses, have a date and vacation without financial limit, because keeping them in green plumbob mood is hard already
I play sims 1 too but usually don't cheat. Superstar is a fun rags to riches without cheats but boy is it rough, and you can forget dates, pets and vacations haha
I love this video and have had it playing almost every day since it came out. The amount of work is staggering! Here’s hoping you might be inspired to make another video for sims 2 and 3!
Oh man, one of the good things that came out of a partnership with EA is crossover content, watching the cycle through clothing options, I completely forgot that they had outfits straight from Command and Conquer Renegade.
it makes the death of nearly all my sims feel a little bit better knowing they are just a part of a long and celebrated history of sims dying via fire (on their own mind you)
Recowski! This is not the content i was expecting from you but I love it. I like that you chose to tell it like a story and not just factually. It made it a lot of fun.
It didn't register to me at the time because this game was so utterly engrossing but hindsight is 20-20 and now that it has three sequels you can see that much plainly just how micromanagement-heavy the first Sims was with trying to keep every Sim's motives maintained, those meters decayed SO dang fast. I remember now that really most of my time was spent constantly regulating the eating/pooping/bathing/sleeping/training/playing habits of the household more than anything else, it was very hard to build relationships with new sims and make it through a career path at a decent clip. On the flipside, The Sims 4 is too far in the other direction, it really is just a lifeless dollhouse simulator now.
this video is HUGE! congrats on making a masterpiece of a project! this feels complete, is really informative, has a great comfy vibe and, most importantly, is amazingly interesting thank you so much for making this documentary. it defenetly feels like it was made with much love and makes us, as watchers, love this too
12:18 I remember I made a Sim with no points filled in only to get an opposite personality via the Geny lamp: meaning my Sim got all character values maxed out. In a way it was an early Supersim version.
19:26 I thought I was going crazy when you repeated near enough the same sentence xD "These lots may be more expensive than buying a house, but you'll be spending that money on everything. From walls to windows to hardwood, and furniture."
Thank you so much for this. I have been playing The Sims games since 2000 and the emotions I feel watching this! Fills me with joy and nostalgia. And serves as great entertainment while I play The Sims 4 and enjoy my afternoon.
I had The Sims: Complete Collection, so it was The Sims with all the Expansion Packs included (for you young people, expansion packs are what we had before DLC). I loved it, it was fun, but one day I tried to change neighborhoods and the game crashed. The only way I could play it was to uninstall it and reinstall it each time I wanted to play.
Ah, the Sims 1, the most accurate simulation of real life. I was obsessed with it as a kid. I remember it was leaving me feeling rather sinister but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
the inspiration drawn from architectural design shows so well that in my childhood ts1 was used in my art school to show us the basics of design and entertain us when the teacher needed to go away for a while :D
It's incorrect to say that everyday is a workday. You can skip every other day. You get a warning if you miss one day. But as long as don't miss two in row you won't be fired. This makes the game fairly relaxed. They don't always have to go into work when their needs are in the red. This also has the added benefit that you can spend every other day working on skill points whilst they're skiving from work.
43:00 Easiest way to get the fire going like that is to launch a firework using the and pause the game as it's about to land. With the move objects cheat enabled (which is needed to do the rugs like that) you can actually catch the firework (not the launcher) and move it indoors. Let it hit the ground, or sell it. It's not like the bully can stop you!
The Sim Zodiac Compatibility Table makes no sense. Half of the signs are attracted to a sign that hates them. …and half of the remaining half actually have mutual attraction.
You lit your Sims on fire to satisfy some unresolved need for revenge on the school bully. I lit my Sims on fire because it was funny to watch them not figure out that they could just open a window. We are not the same.
@@Rekowcskiyup because I had no idea this was here until I went to your channel. It didn’t come across my subscribed stream of videos on the home page.
You know what's weird back then when I used to play this game? I really thought I could build the actual houses in detail the ones that you can see in the intro vid that plays when you start the game. Back then, there weren't any foundations when you build!
@Rekowcski Are we gonna have a problem? I give you honest and good feedback and you're reply makes no sense . You try way to hard to insert the stock videos it makes no sense in an otherwise pretty well put together video. Don't become a bland Linus tech tips channel. Put hardwork and soul into your videos
Rekowski, I’m wondering if you’ll ever do anything on you channel with games like Paralives and Life by You when they come out, as those games are being designed to be very similar to The Sims and maybe the series first real competition
I like the concept of Life by You and I actually was a fan of rod humble even before this, so I am excited to see what they do. I think paralives will never release, but we shall see I just don't make "speculation" videos because there's a million simmers doing them, but if you want those updates I recommend Simmer Erin. She has the most balanced and unbiased information about the other games
What a lovely stroll through memory lane! Dude your intro was amazing. I mean the whole video was, but especially the intro. I had to show it to my boyfriend.
For me it was more the console versions of the Sim games. Urbz, Sims 2 on ps2, and some other obscure sim game with giant weather machine or something. hahaha
I remember in late 1999 getting bored of SimsCity & Sims tower, wanting to play with the Sims themselves... But then while snooping through the CD ROM double disk files, I discovered a little movie file (I forget if it was either an ani or mov). When it started playing I screamed O... M... G...! 🤯 My friend thought we'd got the batman virus again (don't ask). Nope, it was a trailer for the Sims. The rest is history. 😁

Thank you I tried to do something different
I don't really understand what the stock videos you put into the video add. Just supplement with more relevant gameplay of the sims
I could argue the same thing about your comment
@Rekowcski Are we gonna have a problem?
I give you honest and good feedback and you're reply makes no sense .
You try way to hard to insert the stock videos it makes no sense in an otherwise pretty well put together video.
Don't become a bland Linus tech tips channel. Put hardwork and soul into your videos
@@Rekowcski i fucking knew it. You have no spine.
WOAH dude why are you being so damn aggressive? Who pissed in your cereal?@jfitzgerald4887
@jupitersnoot4915 We don't have any beef with each other. I encourage you please stop harassing me and go on with your day.
Great video for beginners or anyone curious about the game! 👏
Lovely video but not complete - you didn't build a pool and remove the ladder!
I think you're the first person to mention this and now I am so upset with myself 😂
Rekowski,
I’m wondering if you’ll ever do anything on you channel with games like Paralives and Life by You when they come out, as those games are being designed to be very similar to The Sims and maybe the series first real competition
I like the concept of Life by You and I actually was a fan of rod humble even before this, so I am excited to see what they do. I think paralives will never release, but we shall see
I just don't make "speculation" videos because there's a million simmers doing them, but if you want those updates I recommend Simmer Erin. She has the most balanced and unbiased information about the other games
@@Rekowcski
I was specifically talking about after they were released
Loved this! I hope you plan to do something similar with Sims 2, Sims 3, and Sims 4.
I would love to do a video on all 4!
What a lovely stroll through memory lane! Dude your intro was amazing. I mean the whole video was, but especially the intro. I had to show it to my boyfriend.
I'm glad you liked it 💕
I love your content and specially your voice!
This is soooo good!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together, you did a fantastic job! 💖
Thank you so much!!
I really enjoy this video 😊thank you !!!!
This is so, so cool, Rek. Thank you for all your hard work. Are you planning on making future vids featuring gameplay from Sims 1?
I love streaming sims 1 so I'll probably do that next month once I move!
@@Rekowcski That'd be great fun! Good luck with the move! 😊 xx
Your choice of words was highly entertaining. Well done, friend. That was really great ❤
Thank you! 💕🥰
Ah The Sims, where anyone can become a top scientist by playing chess and starting out as a test subject, no experience or degree required!
To be fair, I got a math degree and now I'm making sims videos 😭
For me it was more the console versions of the Sim games.
Urbz, Sims 2 on ps2, and some other obscure sim game with giant weather machine or something. hahaha
the early console games are on another level... i think the nintendo DS sims 3 is open world :0
10:40 Also a cheeky bonus to having the maximum outgoing stat - a very socially outgoing Sim will always hop into the hot tub without a swimsuit 🤭
It's crazy the sims 1 has more personality details than sims 4 😭
Man does that music bring me back
I remember in late 1999 getting bored of SimsCity & Sims tower, wanting to play with the Sims themselves... But then while snooping through the CD ROM double disk files, I discovered a little movie file (I forget if it was either an ani or mov). When it started playing I screamed O... M... G...! 🤯 My friend thought we'd got the batman virus again (don't ask). Nope, it was a trailer for the Sims. The rest is history. 😁
