thats probably why the sims 2 has easily the best/most sympathetic dialogue boxes for getting your children taken away. its such a dramatic change from the first game. but then you can see that the game cares less and less about that aspect in the third and fourth

[@BKStarlet08]

a crazy thing about the Sims 2: not only do they pick up all the kids but that household can NEVER have a kid. The "try for baby" and "adopt" options disappear 😳

[@Diovanlestat]

Not crazy, but accurate for a life sim. In real life if you neglect one child they will take ALL the children away. You can never adopt another child and they will watch you carefully if you ever get pregnant again. Indeed many times they will take away any baby as soon as you deliver it. The police will come find you if you try to run away pregnant, even if you leave the area. Hospital's are told to watch out for you. (I've seen this happen) Sims 4 gives people strange ideas about child raising.

I really like that and it's a shame they got rid of this from Sims 3/4 because it makes a lot of sense. Why would social services give your Sim back their children/any child after the Sim was caught neglecting their kids? Doesn't make sense for them to give the children back.

You cannot adopt but you can still try for baby. I learnt that the hard way as a kid. It was my first biological baby born in TS2 actually. My Sim was forced to find a wife to have children with and that wife happened to be Gretchen Chin 😆

Their needs were wonderful (they were having a grand ol time, turns out), but they were still carted off by the social worker, I was so upset. They don't even give you the option to adopt them back either, the Sims 2 did not play.

I'd be curious to see this experiment again, but letting the kids go to school and use a fridge (and bathroom) for themselves, maybe set a time limit of 7 game days, just to see how self-sufficient kids are in each game. Also, without letting the adult die in TS2 lmao

[@laurellee1435]

Tbh I'm more invested in how quickly the parents lose their kids without intervention from the player, simply by how much autonomy encourages the parents to bother looking after their kids or not.

[@skyechimes658]

Of all the things to be bothered about - the thing that bothers me the most about Sims 4 is what happens to children, toddlers, and pets when the last eligible caretaker in the household dies (you must have a teen or older sim in a household to care for pets, kids, and toddlers). The game really just deletes them. So to conclusively test this, I had a granny caring for toddler grandson and a dog - the mom was young adult and temporarily in another household. I killed the granny in a fire. The game gives the “game over” screen saying toddler and dog have been whisked away to safety. I say continue in another household as the mom - I check all the adoption menus for 2 sim weeks. No kid. No dog. In sims 2 (& 3) if I kid gets taken away, they are in the adoption menu - a loving family member can take them in. So much better then just deleting them.

[@rachelvmayhill]

If you can get mods there is an option in Mc Command Center for letting children get adopted by others and not just deleted.

One time I had a sim whos sister I wasn't playing, she was an elder sim and right before she died she adopted a baby boy. i was in the market for a child for the sim i was playing, so i tried to see if i could adopt my sister's kid, but he was gone.

Awee that sims 4 house reminded me of my childhood. The "responsible" adult in their room all day while the kids fend for themselves. It taking forever for social services to intervene.. down to them taking only one kid but leaving the others :D quite accurate I'd say!

I love these comparison style videos! Love you Jesse!

I'm having a horrible mental health week and uni is destroying me. This video brought me so much comfort and relief even though it was just for a moment I appreciate it so much. Thank you.

The kids in sims 2 are probably going to burn before they got taken away xD Edit: Well, there was at least one death

[@anska7475]

In Sims3 I was always terrified of the babies being taken away because it was so hard to improve their mood and so easy to make them miserable - someone in the family dies, then someone steals their candy and they are left as little bundles of misery only to be minimally cheered up by the stereo.

[@LauraP.]

Funniest thing I had in sims 2 was when my kids got taken away bc my sim went to work and they were alone. Then when i adopted a kid later with the same sim, it was one of the kids taken away 😂

[@Frankenzebra]

They should totally do a "classic" mode for the next Sims game (or a huge patch for 4" where you get the quirky stuff of Sims 1 like the clown, burglars and prank calls

[@alissalalala]

I remember my favourite Sims 3 family back in the day and my kid got taken away and I was so devastated, I shut the computer off so quick my dad thought I broke it.

‘Are ya feelin neglected…. punk?’ Jessie we are two minutes in, how do you already have a golden merch phrase 😭❤️

[@marysiastrulak124]

"and how are you guys doing? not good. good to hear" 💀

[@davidaskew217]

Brilliant!!! Also love the fact that we got just 2 days in The Sims 2 and we managed got the bin kicked over - absolute classic memories!!! 👌

[@missclodd]

Off topic but my favorite thing about the Sims 1 is the every bit of text is in Comic Sans it's so funny for no reason

[@destinypugh2394]

I find it funny how at 6:29 I liked the video because I was laughing at the song. And right after she was like "It's not funny."😐

[@sixyellowwalls]

Seeing you play this reminds me of why I almost never did gameplay in the sims 1, I’d just make sims, build their house, get overwhelmed, and either max their needs /use that cc rejuvenator shower thing or bail LMAO

[@acebee46]

I've just been periodically bursting into laughter every time I think of "the neglect family"

[@coramcclain4993]

Your videos give me so much joy - I’m always so happy to see an upload ! Thank you for making such great content for my adhd anxiety filled depressed brain 🙏🏼😭

[@Jules46219]

Lol same though. She do be a saving grace

[@kaylaleiann]

Honestly, same. Plumbella is literally getting me through college 😂

[@user-mv5zt8qd9l]

"It's not funny," she says, right before writing an impromptu James Blunt parody about it. This video is Plumbella in her purest form and I absolutely loves it

[@lucyneedham7001]

Loved this video so much! I’ve been playing since the beginning too and it’s so nice to see the older games revisited 😃

[@LivH90210]

I just wanted to say thank you for all your content and joy, my cat has just passed away and your videos have got me through it by making me laugh when I needed it most. Thank you

[@cheeriozombie]

This effectively made me want to play the whole sim series again, are we alright in the head?

[@isabellabeatriz2242]

I remember my first family on The Sims 2. I wanted them to get into private school so bad I kept calling the principal over and didn't understand why they didn't say yes. While trying to impress him, I forgot to feed my child and she got taken away, never to be seen again

[@lieslrose612]

"fate is a cruel master and i am fate" has such raw power

[@irisravenhild9060]

had a family in sims2 who always neglected their kids, and everyone else in the neighborhood adopted them instead

[@clarelg]

omg i needed this, perfectly timed upload ty

[@jensendsflowers]

“What do they expect me to do? Parent? NO! Not my style.” 😂😂😂 neglectful parents across the world nodding in agreement

[@Layla-yg9pw]

PLEASEEEE the HE NEED SOME MILK ended me😭😭 I feel like very few ppl know that reference

[@pastelviolet2957]

When I was like 8, I played Sims 1 on PS2 and I was so traumatised when the baby was taken away. It was a baby boy called Connor, but that's my cousin's name irl so idk why I chose that name. I remember just sitting there in shock lmao
