    I know I’m three years late but thank you for this! 😭. Especially the point you made about making your channel stand out. I started my channel almost a year ago and I created my own legacy challenge and I stream it weekly! Hopefully it takes off ❤❤

    I love this video. You're right. Most of the "how to grow your channel" doesn't apply to Simmers, but thanks to you, you uploaded one of the few how to's. I am a new channel as well and I can tell you that it is hard, but I think if you love what you're doing, I think it'll be worth it. But yeah, numbers are important as well >_< I'm struggling

    Haven’t watched the full vid as I’m at work, but thanks so much for making this! I just bought my first ever gaming comp (a prebuilt, but still!!) and am thinking about making sims content now. It’s been months since I’ve played and plenty of new mods have come out, can’t wait to try them for my coming soon channel!!

    Thanks so much for this starting in 2023! Don’t know why I didn’t start this many years ago! My WHY is I play it all the time since I was 10 years old I’m now 27 and I still play it! So that’s my why 🎉❤

    Thanks so much for this, it's hard to find guides on your specific area. I started my sims channel a few months ago, I mostly do 1 hour builds that I stream on Twitch, and yes I agree, only do it as a hobby, which is what I do :)

    Thank you so much for making this video! Like you said in the beginning there are tons of videos about starting a TH-cam channel but most of them don't apply to Sims channels. I've watched so many and thought "but how can I use this on my channel?" I'm doing all the things you have suggested. I need to have a bigger presence in the community but other than that I'm doing it all. So far I have 9 videos uploaded and one scheduled to upload on my normal upload day. My channel has been up for almost 2 months but I've only had 100 views and the watch time is less than 3 hours. I swear people are only watching for a min or 2. I don't know how to get them to watch longer.
    Sorry for the long comment, I just wanted to say your video was very helpful!

    I noticed that same first thing you mentioned! I like to look at channels & go to their vid list & sort from older > newest because I like to see how long they've been around. And I also noticed too that it takes around a year of constant uploading to start seeing results

Or maybe just having a channel that is like a Jack of All trades lol I do way to many things to just put myself in a box (paint, create dream catchers, draw/portraits, gamer, movie lover, crafty for sure and puzzles)

I am having a little bit of trouble deciding on what type of gaming computer to get though. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what type of computer to get that will hold the game itself, the expansion packs, and all the mods? I understand thats a lot, sorry for the long message 😂 But I love your videos, the humor is hilarious, and your videos have inspired me!! Have a great day😭
