I love when they bring up the "but The Sims 4 doesn't have an open world!" as an excuse for the game's lackluster mechanisms, even though the Sims 2 didn't either and had far more gameplay the Sims 4 could ever dream of.
I know right, I just go *laughs in Sims 2*.
Exactly. It baffles me how a game that came out in 2004 outshines one that game out 10 years later. Sure TS2 isn’t visually stunning it still offered way more gameplay and depth then TS4.
Björk :3
Exactly. I hate seeing people say we can't have this or that because there's no reason for it with a closed world, but we had [most of] this stuff in Sims 1 and Sims 2 and neither had open worlds. Like, I love Sims 2 having cars, not because I can drive all over and see my sim doing it, but because they can just OWN a car like most people would in real life, and there's even the animation that we don't even have in Sims 3, for getting in/out the car and going in/out of the driveway. However, both games had cars and did them in their own way that made people happy. Sims 4 doesn't even try. And I know a lot of people say cars aren't in it because the world simply wasn't designed for it, and I agree with that, but when/if they make Sims 5, they need to make those things possible now that they know, WITHOUT A DOUBT, these are things wanted. They just need to stop looking at their "data" that is skewed because how the game works or things we don't even have in the game. It's easy to say simmers wouldn't use cars based on their data for Sims 4, when there are no cars in the game to prove otherwise. EA and a decent amount of the community who buys this hogwash, are just too annoying to me.
I want to say I remember hearing someone deep dive why the sims 4 is so lackluster and it has to do with the engine. Not that it's an excuse but sucks that it was doomed from the beginning.
The panic of fires in the first 3 games was so real! I remember being a kid playing the Goth household in TS1 and accidentally killing Bella, and not realizing I could have left without saving to get her back. When I finally got my hands on TS2 and found out Bella was missing, I assumed EA somehow knew what I did. I put fire alarms in every room, I was so worried! 😆
That's amazing 🤣
Wonderful you solved the mystery
HAHAHAHSHAHSHAH PLS
Imagine your house burns down and the firefighter is just like "just be more careful next time, k?"
Firefighters in TS3 are best and this time is not even close. The fact you can play as a firefighter in TS3 just makes them so much better, and it's one of the best active careers in the series, with a ton of different scenarios/situations including meteor strikes and earthquakes.
It depend if ur on Xbox or pc
I love the firefighter career in the sims 3 too.
@@Aishalouise04 no it don't depends, console version is not the same game as the pc version simple as that......
And don't forget the angry gnome invasion. Lol
@@Smoll_Beanie angry duende
The Sims 3 for me is the best , because have "real" firefighters
I love firefighters in The Sims 3! The active career is so much fun!
I love them too, also love the fact that the firefighters live inside the neighbourhood. Had my one sim date this guy without realizing he's a firefighter. Then one day my sim brings his side chick over to hang out, and while she is over a fire starts and his boyfriend shows up in the uniform and everything to put it out. Needless to say my sim got busted for cheating lol!
@@PleasantSims no sims were harmed in the making of this video
@@PleasantSims right???
Sims 3 I just my fav I have only played 3 and 4 I like 3 more I just wish the packs where less money.🥲
I didn’t know TS3 firefighters could revive freezing sims!!
I had in TS2 Nina start a fire and she took her baby and ran outside , so that was a nice touch.
that happened to me too in sims 2. mother started a fire when i made her cook baked alaska, then her teen daughter took their toddler sibling and ran outside. it was very touching.
This reminded me of how one time my sim specifically decided to take a toddler out and put it near a burning tree just to then proceed to freak out at it. 😂 Nothing happened to the toddler. Sims 2 was just too good.
olivboo it helps in the Sims babies and toddlers are fireproof 😁
They also speed out of the building on apartment lots
@@olivcho extremely hard to kill toddlers and children, the social services will most likely come and take them even if there's a wall preventing them from being taken lol how I know that? well I built a cemetery once ..... did not manage to kill any toddlers :/
Firefighters in the Sims games be like: "Hot Flames, really get you goin’
Warms you up, when you feel you’re slowin’
Sim freaks we extinguish it right away
Add a smile and have a nice day"
😆 😆 😆
That is the best parody of Hot Drinks ever! LOL
Ok this needs a while audio and preferably music video too
If you have a kid with a firefighter they will have a special trait in Sims 3
yes the pyromaniac i think
@@anv9956 And the one that makes they innmune to the fire
What I never knew this omg tell me more
@@alexissmith9141 there’s traits that are called hidden traits that sims can gain a lot of times by being the child of firefighters or pizza men there’s actually a bunch of them look it up it’s cool
The details 🤌 The sims 4 could never
Sims 3 Ambitions firefighter was my favorite! Always love playing that career.
I love that too! I've always hoped they would add it back in The Sims 4!
My sims always got bugged running and so they would 'accidentally' die on the job...
i love it too although it bugs fairly easy, like they ask me to rescue 4 sims when in reality there's only 3, or i finish but it still doesn't count it as finished and i have to let them just go home and lose career points
I'm still salty that we didn't have firefighters in Sims 4 from the beginning. I can't believe we still don't have burglars and police either. I miss them a lot.
Right especially with fact we have police active career but like you don’t actually do anything 😂
@@NerdyPanda-td1tz the Police career is boring af since it doesn’t have impact in the world… just play pretend…
Wth? Why? So much to realism. EA really fcked up with ts4.
I'm so super glad, I skipped that game completely
I didn't even KNOW there aren't burglars! That's so upsetting!
The Sims 1 fires are still the scariest fires imho! I lost so many sims because of them. 😂 I feel like fires in The Sims 4 are so easy to estinguish that firefighters feel useless and just "cosmetic", which is a shame. 😕
Yes, you're right about that! They are FAR TOO EASY to extinguish. They put out the first fire I set before the smoke alarm could even detect it!
@@PleasantSims there is a mod that sets the whole lot on fire. It takes days to extinguish
Doesn't that description work for basically everything that The Sims 4 offers? 😂
And the sims in sims 2 freak out A LOT, that always made me panic as a kid lol
Yes, the screams were HORRIFYING
Okay but Cindy is kind of iconic, I stan
Thank you Andrea! 💙💙
Same
"They feel a bit dissapointing in Sims 4"
It's funny how many things you could say that sentence about.
Cindy: NO! Don't put that in the microwave!
Betty Newbie: Beep Beep
"not that you want to do that on purpose"
*me being guilty of killing thousand of Sims on purpose*
😆 😆 😆
"It wasn't included in The Sims 4 base game" seems to be a common phrase in this series, lol
The Sims 3's firefighters are my favourite, personally. Well, TS3 is my favourite of the games overall. Sadly, it's so hard to get it to work well, even to this day
When that dinky little firetruck pulled up in TS3 I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. Having never played the game before I was caught EXTREMELY off guard 😂
😆 😆 😆 I actually forgot about these little trucks because I've had the ambitions fire engine for so long! I was trying to play it off. HAHA
Honestly after 6 whole years of waiting, the firefighters in the sims 4 are basically useless anyway 😅 mine don't usually even put out the fire most of the time! they just stand there, and the way they just stroll along casually... no effort whatsoever when it comes to the sims 4 firefighters 🤦♀️and after all this time! like what was even the point, my sims just do the job themselves lol 😅
Sims 3 is my favorite mainly cause you can be a firefighter
Same! I think Sims 3 wins because you get insurance money, the response time is realistic, AND you can actively play as a firefighter.
I loved that they were both sexes in the Sims 3. And I don't know if this was on purpose or not, but I loved marrying in Sims 3 firefighters because they were always cute. The stereotypical hot firefighter. Yeah, I'm shallow that way 😂 But oof, Sims 2 firefighters never stood a chance, unless you had replacement face templates.
It's definitely harder to start fires in the Sims 3 than the previous games, just like they made it harder to drown. Well, unless you put those rugs close to the fireplace in winter, with the auto-light on. Learned that the hard way. 😂
Skeptically Hopeful in the Sims 3 firefighters have the hidden fireproof trait with a chance to pass it on to their children.
@@doncarlin9081 I forgot about that! Those odd little hidden traits that can get passed down, like the military salute and fireproof.
I seriously never noticed with the kids, because, lol, not too many fires. Thanks for pointing that out.
I was always leaving the oven in Sims 3 while the food was being cooked and a fire was starting immediately xD
"It takes forever to start a fire in the Sims 3" *Looks at my Sims 3 save where I had a fire at least once a week until my witch Sim had enough magic skill to give magical fireproof upgrades* Yeah.... okay..........
when i was little i would use the fireworks in sims 1, set them off, then switch to buy mode before it lands and move the explosion inside. instant fire lol.
Oh! Good strategy! LOL
also sims 1 sims can walk through dishes on the ground? wow
@@jem5771 that's what I was thinking! I was like: "Cindy! Move the plate! She can't get to the stove! ...Oh nevermind then."
I’m glad you’ve included sims 1!! I think sims 2/3 win again here lol. Fire fighters just... exist in sims 4 and they just got here after 6 years and there’s no fire truck they just teleport on the lot but I guess it’s good that they are here but I definitely think the other games did them better.
I agree! I like Sims 2 and 3 better. I think Sims 3 has a slight win over Sims 2 though, because of insurance money and the active career.
@@PleasantSims agreed!
sims 3 is the best one i think, for all npc sims, i like how they have hidden traits that can be passed genetically, i love having fireproof pyromaniac babies when i marry a firefighter
Firefighters in the sims 4 are just ... so plain.
I Loved having affairs with NPCs in the sims 2.
children of firefighters also get the immune to fire hidden trait :D
I loved in the sims 3 how the sims traits affected the sims responses to fire! The brave ones would extinguish it without panic while cowards just freak out completely, etc!
ah yes, when traits actually had effects on sim behavior... *stares at sims 4*
I had an apartment in the sims 4 and a fire started EVERY DAMN DAY
Wow! Maybe I should have tried that!
All in all, The Sims 3 fed us in Ambitions with these careers!!
@Ann Ana the ghost hunting one is amazing, I'm exploring ambitions and generations right now
The “being poor sucks” realism of Sims 3 be like
I just played the sims 2 for a couple of weeks, and I felt so into my sims that I felt like it was like real life, which I never get that sentiment in the sims 4, in the sims 4, I feel like I'm playing with dollhouses, whilst in the sims 2 they feel like real people almost. I'm so sad that I missed the sims 2 in this franchise.
So true. My sims 4 sim that I had been playing for months died of old age and I was just like “oh, ok”. My sims 2 sim that I had played for literally a day was killed in a satellite crash and I was devastated.
Also, my classic way of starting fires to "accidentally" kill sims is to leave the food in the oven/on the stove and cancel the interaction and make them go do something else. Eventually, it will catch fire. Lol.
@N3 ma pretty sure it does, that's how fires always start for me
Firefighters in the sims 4 are basically just a teaser at the moment 😕
They're about the same as Sims 1 - with the added bonus of getting insurance money.
Usually in my game the fire fighters don’t even do anything and my sims do it themselves
Stay tuned for a $40 My First Firefighters pack 🙄😂
@@kerrykent9325 I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened
In my game they show up and ignore the fire or act like they can’t get to it, even if it’s in an open area. They will also give up in the middle of putting out a fire and let it burn everything so they can go play video games.
Hello! You influenced me into getting back into the older Sims games again, I’ll never look at Sims 4 the same 😂
So glad to hear it! I enjoy SIms 4 for challenges, but it's got nothing on Sims 2/3 for overall gameplay. They're the best!
I feel like im most aspects sims 4 is just like sims 1 but without adult humor haha
Sims 4 has nothing on sims 1! Theres a ton of depth to sims 1. It's not the best looking game lol (though the music is beautiful), but it sure as hell packed a lot of gameplay in. There was so much to do in every pack, and I dont think I even got around to doing everything. You can find loads of places to download it for free and get it running. I highly recommend it (played a bit a few weeks ago and was so surprised by how much stuff there was to do in the game, I had forgotten a lot)
@@NHarts3 how do you get sims 1 to work on windows 10?
@@ccchantel I used this video: th-cam.com/video/3NmrDsiIeDM/w-d-xo.html
@@ccchantel It worked even with a downloaded copy of the sims complets collection (even though she says you need a disk, i didn't need the disks)
@@NHarts3 I know but how love, I downloaded it and everything but when I tried to copy the file it kept giving me an error message about being the administrator
The Sims 4 firefighters walked slow and took their good old time before they attempted to extinguish the fire lmao
This brings so many memories! The sims 2 was the first one I ever owned . ♥️ And I still have them
I love all the Sims games, but Sims 2 will always be my favorite!
@@PleasantSims it's always going to be the best! I do believe that it was the one where EA put the most effort. I love your videos! ♥️
I hardly ever play the sims but I've definitely spent more time in the Sims 3. I've only managed to start a fire a few times though. I had no idea that they even added fire fighters in the Sims 4 or that there weren't any to begin with. I can't get myself to play the game long enough to start one 😂
Now I'm remembering the Curious Brother's fire lol
That will haunt my dreams for years to come! LOL
It was chaotic
I loved the first comparison video you did and I love that you've kept going. No hate to Sims 4 but its pretty telling where it falls short gameplay wise, when you can compare multiple areas/mechanics and it falls short nearly every time 😅 the magical fire extinguisher that comes pre-packaged with every sim is so annoying!
Haha, fast forward and there's 20 plates of food on the counter, a grill AND campfire in the dining room, a fireplace going & a woman literally setting off fireworks indoors...
Ahhhhahahaha, dead.
Also in the sims 1 if you put wood furniture near the fireplace, it can start a fire that spreads quicky ❤❤
Good to know!!
"it's so hard to start fires on the Sims 4"
GrayStillPlays: You sure bout that?
those damn laundry machines from sims 4 always catch on fire too
Which makes no sense lmao. The dryer maybe, but the washing machine???
Another thing about sims 3's playable firefighters is that when a fire started on their home lot, if your sims were able to dealt with it before the NPC arrived, when they do, the NPC will congratulate you for doing a great job and "see you at the station", or something along that line. Also, playable firefighter can receive thank-you calls from civilians that they saved, which I think is a nice touch.
Oh wow, I never realised it was THAT late that firefighters got added to Sims 4! 😱
"we're looking at what makes firefighters HOT..."
me: *questioningly thinks of a sexy firefighter calendar*?
"or NOT."
me: oh.
it's easy to start a fire if you use the washing machine/dryer and don't clean the lint filter (??? i didn't know the word i hope the translator was correct lmao)
Oh good point! I forgot about that method!
I love that in Sims 2 you can learn fire prevention skill which makes Sims not freak out and put out the fire faster!
Why is it that EA decided to be lazy on the Sims 4 and just be like: "Hey! Lets do almost NOTHING at all to updates in the Sims 4!"
Is that what they were really thinking? Lol
Wish I knew!
@@PleasantSims I'm also pretty much hoping they don't get Paralives to either let EA take Paralives, or they just make the Paralives development team stop development. My friend is REALLY excited for it, and I'd hate to see him heartbroken.
@@retrorim124 They actually would have no legal basis to stop the Paralives team, EA can not, under any circumstances try to prevent a competitor from making a life simulation game. They don't own the genre, they own a game within it. It is actually against the law for them to try, the US has laws against monopolies. The government would step in, and could punish them for attempting to. They also have said they aren't going to sell Paralives to EA. No worries :D
@@thesimslover82884 The US laws for monopolies is a joke and easy to overcome with enough $ and a little brain power. While EA can't target them legally, there are other ways to snuff out a smaller company. But Alex isn't looking to sell to EA which is a plus, but that doesn't mean he won't see pressure from the EA company.
@@anomalytenacious The only legal way EA could stop the Paralives team from creating the game is, is if they used EA assets. Which they haven't, Bill Gates has billions, but he was investigated under those laws. Game companies are no different, case in point, Dead By Daylight. It's a game about people called Survivors, trying to escape brutal Killers, that want to sacrifice them to a powerful Entity. But Last Year, In Silence and Friday the 13th, basically has the same situation. Innocent people trying to survive or beat several kinds of serial killers or monsters, trying to kill them. The maker of Dead By Daylight can not try to shut the other games down, unless those games are outright copying DBD or using assets made by Behavior, Dead By Daylight's developer. Behavior, just like EA doesn't own the genre, just a game within it, and under no legal basis can attempt to stop competition.
One cool thing about sims 3 firefighters are the hidden traits associated with them. Randomly generated npc firefighters have the 'immune to fire' trait; they can't die from fire. But my favourite trait is the 'pyromaniac' trait. If your sim has a baby with a firefighter, there is a 50% chance the baby will have the pyromaniac hidden trait. Pyromaniac sims can start fires at will, they enjoy being lit on fire, and transmogrify any fruit into a flame fruit, which they can eat to gain energy. Great video as always, Cindy! I find the sims 4 firefighters infuriating. They will stop running towards a fire to complain about the environment 😭
I remember when I first got Sims 4 and a fire started on my lot, I was so confused as to why I couldn't call for a firefighter! When I realised they weren't even in the game I just couldn't believe it. Sims 3 firefighters are definitely the best if you have the Ambitions pack!
I think it’s so hard to get fires to start in TS4 because it’s suppose to be a Utopia where nothing bad happens. There are no real consequences. That’s why it took so long to get firefighters and why we still don’t have police in the game.
If we do get police or burglars in a patch update can you do a comparison?
I absolutely will!
I really love your game comparison videos, and I especially love that you included the Sims 1 in this one too. I never played the original Sims, I was a tad too young when it was released, so it’s nice to see how the game has evolved (or devolved in Sims 4’s case!) since the game that started everything 😁
As someone who started with the first game, it's amazing how much things regressed in The Sims 4. It's actually worse in some regards than The Sims 1... and that's just plain sad.
Great video! Love the comparison
Some additional info about fire and firefighters in the sims 4 (I’m not sure about the rest)
- Certain materials will have different fire proofing properties. Wooden and carpet floor are more frequent to catch on fire and spread fast compared to stone or iron floors
- if there’s a bigger fire, 3 firefighters will spawn instead.
- Sims wearing the firefighters suits (which is available in CAS) will get a confident moodlet and are fireproof
- pregnant sims are immune to fire (I think it’s the same for previous games too)
Also about Sims 3 fire fighters, if you have a baby with one, the child will have the Pyromaniac trait and be able to set stuff on fire and also survive on fire for up to 3 hours.
Yay I’ve been asking for sims 1 to be included!!
Edit: the nostalgia is REAL holy crap
You're an MVP for going through all of that work to get that fire going in TS4 :D
i'll never forget playing ts1 for the first time when i was 5 and just burning my house
I’ve been craving a Cindy fire in so long - and here’s my fix!
Haha! This video is full of them! 🔥
Cops next?
They're on the list! 💙
The first fire I had in Sims 2 was started when the sim cooking died of old age. The family all gathered around to mourn it, and then had another fun little surprise when the fire started.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.
I love ur content and u
Thank you!! 😀
Definitely loved Sims 3's fire fighters best. There's also a hidden trait you can get in that game, Pyromaniac I think, if you have a kid with a fire fighter. I don't know if it has to be one of the NPCs or if you can have a sim in the profession who'll pass the trait to their offspring.
Another cool thing in Sims 3 is that if a sims is burning and there's a pool close you can make them throw themselfs in the pool to extenguish the fire.Helped a lot when I would send sims to adventures during vacations :p
I have sims 4 without any mods and my sims set EVERYTHING on fire, like every time I played, and start panicking. For me is really easy got fires out control, specially if you use the fireworks inside the house 😂
In Sims 2 when there's a fire, and your sim has toddlers. They will pick up the toddlers and RACE them outside to get them to safety.
For me they always start a fire in sims 3 when they automatically leave the pancakes in the oven..
I haven’t even watched the video yet, but I wanna say I love ur videos! They are feeding my sim cravings while my laptop is away 😊
In the sims 3 the best way to start a fire is by putting something on the stove/oven and stop the action without going back
this is the only time ive ever seen betty newbiein Sims 1 cook and NOT start a fire
I KNOW!! I had her cook like 15 plates of food before she caught one on fire!
Fun fact! In TS4, for me, the toilet caught fire after one of the eco lifestyle upgrades (never again will I make this upgrade, lest my sim's butt will catch on fire again) and one of the firefighters caught on fire while they were finishing extinguishing the toilet. my sim saved their life and they actually got a memory and increased their relationship to friends with that sim! they didn't know each other beforehand, but saving a life would probably do something similar to that realistically, right? lol. the memory notification was also quite nice and unexpected, though i don't really exactly remember what it said, but that was actually a really really cute happenstance!
thank u for the video!! i love your comparison videos!!
Cindy is including sims 1! Love it!
The most fires I've had in sims 3 have been from birthday cakes. 😆
Lol, for The Sims 4 you could have just lit a firework indoors. That makes a fire start 100% of the time.
Not gonna lie, I didn't even know firefighters were back at all and thought this was just going to be straight up shade at Sims 4 for not having them
"It's like crazy difficult to get a fire to start on the Sims 4!"
Well I guess I just suck at playing sims 4 then. I get fires constantly even with high quality stoves.
Not to mention half the time it takes forever to get my Sims to put the damn fire out themselves
I’m gonna remind the real ‘nice touch’ to fires in The Sims 4. Wanna get your whole house barbecued? Just use a toilet. Oh I miss that bug.
Set the fire to your gameplay. Some like it hot, I guess.
I was playing the sims 4 while watching this and my sim set the grill on fire!!🤣
Legend has it that when you start a fire in the sims, another fire will start somewhere else😂
7:50, I still remember that bug where a lightning would hit a tree and it would stay on fire forever xD
The sims 4 just takes all the risks out of the game...
That's true and one of the biggest problems with TS4. It's a shame!
It makes the game very bland because of this. There's nothing truly random like in the older games, so you spend so many days just doing the same thing over and over that you get bored. I know they say to use your imagination, but if I have to do that for almost everything, why even buy or play the game? I can just imagine I have a super awesome sims game in my head, lol.
Remember when they did the first community vote on the stuff pack and LAUNDRY won over DANGER? I mean danger should be a part of the base game, but I still can’t get over how the community vote in aspects with little-no gameplay over genuinely interesting mechanics.
Omg Ikr? Really community? Laundry? I don’t care about chores in games rofl. Man, Sims4 is really catered for kids lol
I love the fact that in The Sims 3: Into the Future we have 2 NPS plumbots - firefighters)) that s nice
The curious brothers loved this video!🔥
😆 😆 😆
What I do like in the sims 4 is that in Sulani your neighbors will come over to help you stop the fire. Also they pick up toddlers if they do the route to safety wich is really cute
Okay, I know it's not related to the subject, but can we appreciate how in sims 1 sims would just... stand on the plate of food? I honestly thought they would do the little I can't get to the stove animation, but no just stand on the plate and cook!
I had forgotten that was a thing
It's so disgusting and beautiful
Video suggestion! This just randomly occurred to me while watching someone's university let's play, but I would love to see you compare university in ts2, ts3, and ts4. I have a soft spot in my heart for sims university packs and I love your comparison videos! :)
You know what's the biggest fun in the Sims 3? If you have the mod that makes fires spread faster/in a greater range😂
Also, once my Sims 3 game was kinda buggy/glitchy (maybe because of the mods and/or the cheats), and a firefighter appeared in the middle of the street, at the crossing part. Every time I deleted him/her, another one has appeared😂
In sims 4 we had a Fire Alarm without actual firefighters
In the sims 3 several sims died in my lot, because I threw a birthday party, and the cake caught on fire.
Awesome video! I love seeing these comparisons because there’s no way I’m ever gonna be able to get my hands on a copy of the sims 1 and 2 that will work on my shitty laptop.
One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is the fact the sims 4 has services that you can’t join as a job. Firefighter, pizza delivery, maid, etc should all be rabbit hole jobs just to give us more options!
About fires from lightning in Sims 2, sometimes you get really unlucky and a fire does not get put out by the rain, because it stopped soon after the fire started. I had a willow tree get set on fire by lightning while the only adult in the house was at work and only the toddler and a nanny were in the house. The nanny never once went outside or reacted to the fire but several walkbys did. Tank Grunt was traumatized by the fire that wasn't even his problem.
"route to safety" *runs through fire*
Here's a fun story:
I had a family in The Sims 3 of 7 or 8 people, two were the parents and all the others were their children.
It was the mother's birthday, so I had them all wake up at dawn to celebrate her birthday (with eight people there everyone's schedules were crazy, and I wanted the whole family to be there)
Everyone started cheering as she was about to blow the candles... And suddenly, the cake's candles started a fire. (Yes, you read that right. The CANDLES started a fire. It never happened before, I was so shocked. It could have been because the cake was on a wooden table, but I had plenty of birthday cakes on that table and nothing ever happened...)
So I had everyone evacuate the house and call the firefighters, but they all wanted to come in because they were hungry and wanted to eat the cake (seriously??) so they all stayed at the door, the scene was almost comical
Finally the firefighters arrived, but they couldn't come in because, as I already said, everyone was blocking the path by standing at the door. So I had to make them walk away, but they kept on panicking and wanting to come in. 😩
Finally the firefighters managed to go in, but as they did, they just said something like "I'm sorry, but I can't extinguish the flames. I hope they'll be put out." (Really?? You didn't even try!)
So finally, the second eldest son stepped up and extinguished all the flames! Oh and in the meanwhile, one of the firefighters had died in the fire. The Grim Reaper didn't appear though, she just vanished into dust.
After the fire was put out, everyone complained because they were hungry (there has just been a fire and you're thinking about eating??) but instead of cutting the cake, they just went back to bed.
That must be the weirdest thing that ever happened to me in about 9 years of playing The Sims.
Lol, I still remember what happened when I was playing Sims 4 and a fire started. So my sim's kid was on the neighbour's lot, playing with the neighbour kid, and then the neighbour's dad started a fire on the grill. The neighbour kid's dad started CRYING, he ran out of the house, his wife and kid also. I had to make my kid extinguish the fire out, because the neighbour family was just trembling outside and the firefighters somehow couldn't get in, and they were just standing, doing nothing.
"what makes firefighters hot" I DIED =)
I’ll never forgive Sims 4 for not having firefighters soon enough.
My pregnant sim was supposed to have a beautiful breakfast made by her baby’s daddy only for him to die in front of the stove with while she walks out the house with no neighbours in sight and not knowing what to do 😭
It's his fault for having no cooking skill, she needs a better babydaddy 🙃🤣🤣
I can't believe I forgot this... But when I saw you play Sims 4 route to safety, in sims 2 and 3 they would stand in the fire and scream at it and almost always catch on fire. I remember having to cancel the fire interaction and get them to safety myself.... 😂😂😂
I love when you make these kinds of videos. It always reminds me of cool things I’ve forgotten about or gives me nostalgia for the things I loved in past games. It’s also good to point out how the sims used to be for all those newer simmers who have only played sims 4. Maybe they will understand better when we have comments or criticism about things in sims 4 if they can see how in depth the past games were. I wish we had such good firefighters in sims 4 as we used to in sims 3. Firefighter was also one of the best active careers in sims 3 to me.
The funniest thing to me is that I didn't even get to see firefighters in Sims 4 because I literally only ever had one fire and it was before firefighters were introduced... late.
