one little note, i thought you could move townies into the gardens but unfortunately you can’t. so they’re pretty much pointless apart from decorative builds you can make and the essence you can collect there. will be editing that part out of the video, sorry for the false info! never explored them when they were online so wasn’t 100% sure on how they worked/their usage without online
i have one thing to mention for essences, the colour on the background of them indicates to the interests (pink = cute yellow = fun blue = geeky green = studious purple = spooky and orange = tasty.)
I have never played MySims before and I initially was going to pass on the game but I have seen so much gameplay that I am sold on trying this game. Can't wait! Thanks for the video! 😄
As a first time player of this game, I quickly discovered how wonky some of the build requests can get as you go. It's not a bad thing per se, but making a standard fridge with like 5 of this Essense and 4 of another can feel a little excessive in my opinion, especially if you're more of a fan of standard builds than creative out of the box ideas, and sure you don't have to follow the ghost guideline exactly when building, it's just exactly that: a guideline to give you an idea of how to potentially build what your making, but there is no right or wrong way to really make things which makes it fun. I can see myself having a little too much fun when creating my own furniture for my house since I'll have all the freedom in the world to do so. I still feel like I have a lot to learn, and hope one day I'll be an expert at this game! Lol
@ yes! Like I said, I barely remember it, but it was definitely different, so when I get this one, it will be brand new to me, besides watching other ppl play it. I can’t wait. 😊
@ oooh speaking of the games being different, Sims 2 on DS was so interesting! I loved it on PC too, but it was fun in a weird way on DS. I loved running that hotel!
Pretty upsetting they didn't change the gardens to allow townie sims. I played the Wii version, so this was new to me, and thought I could have my favorites live here. I looked it up and it was exclusive to the PC version, except you couldn't move in sims and it was meant for online stuff which no longer exists for it. Wish they could at least have taken the time to change it to where you could move in townie sims, given the original purpose for the gardens is rendered moot without online. If you're going to port things, at least change the outdated stuff.
I got this game when I was a kid and was floored when I saw it available to play again as an adult. I think this review is a really great jump off point for players unfamiliar with the game! I had the Wii version and so I'm unfamiliar with the garden. I've gotten all the essences but one, the microscope. Maybe I just have bad RNG but I prospected for hours and could not find one. Now I know in the original PC version they would keep you from having one or two essences to encourage you to trade online with friends. Do we know if this was accidentally left over or is my luck just awful? I'm going to be playing some more rn so If I find one I'll update.
ngl the gardens are pretty new to me too i only learnt about them when i actually played the pc version about a year ago but obvs no online 😭 so i haven’t done much digging, ive played for about 5 mins prospecting near the train station where you’re meant to find microscopes and haven’t come across them myself. definitely annoying if they’ve kept the rng but added no way to trade. i guess the one good thing is the garden ones aren’t needed for any tasks and are purely an aesthetic/cosmetic thing
follow up!! apparently all essences are available in the garden now but some are just extremelyyyyy rare over others, microscope being one of them. i’ll probably follow that up once over played more on my own but for now unfortunately just feels like we got bad luck 😭
So I’ve gotten to the point where I have filled all of the building lots provided and I still have guest at the hotel to want to move in. Is there a way to add more lots??
Hey quick question. I saw that you were able to place the same object in Building-Mode immediately after placing the same other one. Which buttons do you press to do this? I tried every combination so far😢 Like I was playing and had to select windows individually after placing one window. That was really frustrating. So how do you place the same object over and over again without having to select the same block everytime you placed another one?
Hi everyoneee. I’m having a problem and idk what I’m doing wrong, basically my problem is that always that I’m trying to make a task for a townie, I do the things that they need like the stereo or the oven for the pizzas and I used the essences that they required but I never achieved the tasks and I try to change change the color or maybe see if I’m using the correct essence but I think that I’m doing everything correct.. It’s my fault ?, or is something that happens to anyone else ?..
Hello! I have a question about the townies. Can you choose which ones to move into your town to make it more unique, or are they all pre-set and move in automatically regardless of your preference?
you can’t make townies like you can in traditional sims games but you can choose who does and doesn’t live there. if you don’t want specific townies, you don’t have to ask them to move in. only caveat is, sometimes it feels like those commercial townies do tend to raise your star level more/have more rigid tasks. but again you can always ask them to move out again if you decide in the future you don’t want them. just use the interaction on their mailboxes to do that
keep working on tasks, mostly for the commercial sims who have the businesses ☺️ that’ll raise your star level. 1 gives you a crowbar, 2 is saw, 3 is pickaxe and 4 is blowtorch
i don’t actually know tbh, i know you can build. i’ve never actually played so assumed they were for townies…. maybe they are actually just decoration which feels weird
double checked and unfortunately you can’t so they are pretty much useless apart from getting essence. maybe they’ll update them to have online features again? but i doubt it. so they’re really just there for building and for show
my bad! fully forgot fishing, will go over it in the essaence video but go to a dock, press fish, use left joycon to move bobber over bubbles, then press a to catch once the bobbed shakes and goes a bit inder
honestly just take your time with it, i have the most fun when im not thinking “god i have to get this done!!!!” but actually play around and come up with different designs etc
@EnglishSimmer Thanks for the encouraging response 😂! I think, don't want to count my chickens & all that - but I THINK I've got my head around it a bit more, the controls are more than a tad janky/finicky - but I have hope😏🤣!
yeah i do wish they’d added the motion control support that the wii originally had bc it’d be so useful on switch but it deffo takes a while to get used to
it’s a much smaller game than that as there’s no designing things other than furniture and townie houses but the gameplay loop of tasks feels similar to

They really should have made them useable by townies since they skimped on the online options 😒
i have one thing to mention for essences, the colour on the background of them indicates to the interests (pink = cute yellow = fun blue = geeky green = studious purple = spooky and orange = tasty.)
literally only just realised this whilst filming another video!
When my kids were little, we played my Sims Kingdom. Fun to see all of it out again! Have fun!

I really hope they bring out My Sims' agents. I'm gutted this wasn't added to the bundle
Ahhhh!!! Mollie, I can't wait!!! brings back so much nostalgia! - Sam
I was sooo obsessed with this game!!!
Perfect video, so glad I found you!!
This video was so helpful!
I only played the My Sims on the DS, and I barely even remember it. I never even finished the game. It was super cute, though.
They’re super different! Think of how the sims 2 on ds, Gameboy & pc are all different games
They did the same with the mysims series

So excited for that essence video! Coming today?!
yes!
How do you get the tool to break throw the rocks 😭

I have a question!! I used to be able to take other sims furniture out their house and place it my own but I forgot how, how do i do it?
Does anyone know how to remove the essence color once it's on furniture??
So I’ve gotten to the point where I have filled all of the building lots provided and I still have guest at the hotel to want to move in. Is there a way to add more lots??
thank you for this!!

i think it’s x? but i’ll have to double check for you. like you actually place it with x instead of using a
@ omg thank you so much you probably saved all my patience and sanity… thank you😂❤️

Hello! I have a question about the townies. Can you choose which ones to move into your town to make it more unique, or are they all pre-set and move in automatically regardless of your preference?
In Mysims they’re all preset but you choose who you want to move into the town and build their homes/ businesses
you can’t make townies like you can in traditional sims games but you can choose who does and doesn’t live there. if you don’t want specific townies, you don’t have to ask them to move in. only caveat is, sometimes it feels like those commercial townies do tend to raise your star level more/have more rigid tasks. but again you can always ask them to move out again if you decide in the future you don’t want them. just use the interaction on their mailboxes to do that
Can you rebuild homes or shops? I'm scared to confirm on one I've made in case I don't like it later lol
Yes
Yes you can remodel buildings. Walk up to the mailboxes and the options will come up
How do you save the game on Switch
press plus ☺️
@EnglishSimmer Thank you!
Their was new clothing options and hairstyles
I been trying to find how to get the tools
keep working on tasks, mostly for the commercial sims who have the businesses ☺️ that’ll raise your star level. 1 gives you a crowbar, 2 is saw, 3 is pickaxe and 4 is blowtorch
@ Ty so much 😃✨I’ve been stuck and didn’t want to look up cheats I appreciate you ✨✨✨
no worries! when you finish a set of tasks for one person is when you get the biggest boost so try focusing on maybe one or two townies at a time
@ makes perfect sense ☺️Tysm
No one new is at my hotel and I can’t find stone
I was considering getting this, but one look at that building menu and I think I'll pass 😂
Don’t be so quick to judge Trust me you can make some amazing builds from this. And it’s also way more simplistic than the sims 4’s messy build menu
is there a way to fast travel in this game?
unfortunately not
Wait so can you place sims in the garden's?
i don’t actually know tbh, i know you can build. i’ve never actually played so assumed they were for townies…. maybe they are actually just decoration which feels weird
double checked and unfortunately you can’t so they are pretty much useless apart from getting essence. maybe they’ll update them to have online features again? but i doubt it. so they’re really just there for building and for show
@@EnglishSimmer yeah it's annoying that we can't move in more sims as I felt like there are so meny for so little room in the main three areas
but how do you fish
my bad! fully forgot fishing, will go over it in the essaence video but go to a dock, press fish, use left joycon to move bobber over bubbles, then press a to catch once the bobbed shakes and goes a bit inder
"Cosy" !! Never been so stressed playing a f#@king game🤬! Controls, workshop gaaaaahhhh!! Was so looking forward to it too😮💨😔.
honestly just take your time with it, i have the most fun when im not thinking “god i have to get this done!!!!” but actually play around and come up with different designs etc
@EnglishSimmer Thanks for the encouraging response 😂! I think, don't want to count my chickens & all that - but I THINK I've got my head around it a bit more, the controls are more than a tad janky/finicky - but I have hope😏🤣!

Is it similar to animal crossing New horizons 🤔
it’s a much smaller game than that as there’s no designing things other than furniture and townie houses but the gameplay loop of tasks feels similar to
I saw someone build their house as a square of 1x1s 🫣
