I did this challenge once years ago, going to $0 by buying hedge plants and removing them. Never thought to use the magic town for the outhouse/sinks/food; I just peed on the ground and went hungry until I could get a phone and order pizza. Two ways to cheese this: you get the full value for items you sell if you sell them before midnight the same day, and the slot machine is a more consistent money maker than the genies. The trick is to buy art you DON'T like and look at it constantly, to bottom out your fun. Using the slot machine with an empty fun meter is a 100% win rate.

After listening to escaped north Koreans talk about how people in NK are happier than people in SK because they aren't as concerned with the modern rat race, I think otherwise.

This game was a big part of my childhood + early teen years. I cherished it so much. Great video, brought back a lot of memories.

[@TurbulentJuice]

I remember buying that sims disc set for my sibling as a Christmas present, what feels like an eon ago. They were so excited to get it and ugh all the memories and childish fun we had.

"My house become something akin to a bitcoin mining farm albeit with magical spirits." No ambiguousamphibian. That is literally how bitcoin mining works.

[@josefaksoy42]

Vaush has good taste, ambiguousamphibian is a great youtuber fyi he accidently put this in his vods playlist

[@alexjames6818]

ohhh reading these comments i was like wtf no way this is that guy

[@VirtualYeti]

[@skatblast]

Something about imagining this guy carpooling to his job from his plot of land with just a chair is hilarious

[@tiredofthecitylife2108]

"THAT CAR! THAT BED! THAT CHAIR!" That was my wife, reminiscing out loud. She doesn't watch KZbin, but she was drawn over to this video, watching from over my shoulder. Well done Brian Ambiguous! You have gained a new fan.

[@harrison7222]

One of the best feelings in the world is grabbing a hot lunch and seeing that there is another video upload from ambiguousamphibian as I start eating.

[@Jibbzz]

Damn, I remember playing this when I was very young. I'd love to see what wacky philosophical stuff you could get up to in the sims series.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

I shed tears at the sight of a CRT monitor now

[@RevanRA]

@@ambiguousamphibian I miss my CRT monitor. 😭

[@Problematist]

My favorite Vaush stream

[@opedromagico]

That actually motivated me to buy some land

[@YumexxxChan]

This was one of the first games I ever played, and this video brought me back to staying up late on school nights with my mom making obnoxiously rich sim houses. It's definitely a product of its time but it was still so innovative. Thanks for this blast from the past :)

[@VBMslayqueen]

What I find nostalgic is when he uses sim city music with Sims as the background 😍😍

[@TheeRighteousOnee]

Thank you for this video. Such a classic. One of the best games ever made. Sims 1 really paved the way for the gaming world.

[@StephaniesVlog]

This is so ridiculous I love it, so so much. Thank you.

[@85percentnation]

WHY IS THIS ON THE VAUSH VODS PLAYLIST???

[@VirtualYeti]

🐴

[@Jjgm69]

Who are the vaush vods ?

[@coyote4326]

"Honey, guess what, I just bought us some land!" "We own our own house?!?" "Well....."

[@Agent1W]

And Brian Ambiguous had it harder: there was no "Mrs. Ambiguous". In fact, it could be possible that he was divorced AND he lost whatever job he used to have.

[@KristenPrater]

Just want to say I've watched the Claire the Bear part like 6 times and I can't stop laughing. The way she tiptoes away in broad daylight during your monologue...

[@generalgarand]

I remember my mom coming home with the original one day (before the expansions), creating our family, and the first thing my sim dad did to inaugurate our new virtual household was to grace the porcelain throne. Ah, the nostalgia and memories of a time long past, how bittersweet.

[@dr.strangelove9815]

Truer words cannot be stated.

[@alli97253]

Oh yay new Vaunch stream

[@UpIsNotJump]

This killed me

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Haha thanks! Means a lot coming from you :)

[@mohnetgaming]

Seeing you here is NOt a nightmare. 😅

[@whynotdean8966]

3:57 Dude that is the saddest fucking thing I've seen all year. Why did this hit so hard? This poor, mentally disabled, homeless dude looking through the glass at his first morsel of food with the excitement of an abused shelter animal, and it's fucking cotton candy.

[@JoeMama-nc3bw]

Bro you always put out the strangest and yet most interesting videos. It’s always something I could’ve never thought of or a game no one talks about anymore and yet I want to watch it so much more than the constant spam of empty content I usually see.

[@CallMeKevin]

GENIEius video

[@meeky.]

Kevin?!?!?

[@ambiguousamphibian]

You talking that crazy Simlish talk?

[@Chibibeech]

This is giving graystillplays crossed with calm vibes.... amazing!

[@PotatoBullets115]

I don't think I understood half of those words, but the visuals left some pretty colors for me to look at! 10/10.

[@LuisMercadoorg]

I would love if this challenge turns out as a serious and long let’s play.

[@MatucaOViajante]

Dude, you are making videos of the sims 1 in 2022 and they are great. How do you do this?! You are my role model now.

[@dylansteigerwaldart5564]

Gosh dangit, every video of his starts off feeling like a motivational philosphical treatise on how to feel better about existing, and then the ending is always something like "magic," or "cheating." It really hooks you in but the payoff is never what you're looking for haha

[@Wek6]

I like how he just keeps walking back into the road, tempting fate or a drunk driver

[@abibb27]

My emotions are so strong about this, I almost have no words. This game shaped me and I have no shame about it
