I keep forgetting how kid-targeted the sims 4 is… and then we look at the sims 1

[@ChristaKogsboell]

Right! The sims 1 is actually a hard game

[@averynerdybookworm972]

@@ChristaKogsboell not quite sure the difficulty level is what they’re referring to

[@MiotaLee]

sims 1 "nightlife" was literally called Hot Date~~ o la la

[@LoopyLucy95]

My mum gave me all of the sims 1 games when I was like 8... Except for Hot Date 🤣She was like "You can have this one in 10 years" Jokes on her, I have wicked whims now 😅

[@gabrielleyelle]

My parents were kind of horrified with the Sims 1... They definitely regretted getting it for me at like 9 years old

[@rainbow_gazelle7399]

I was fully expecting you to put babies as an iconic object for the sims 4 😂

[@Mldy96]

The shade 😂

[@eiramharas]

👏🏼

[@PsImnotthome8603]

💀💀💀

[@ljn369]

Some Sims 3 things I think are also iconic are the jellybean bush, the deepfryer/ice cream machine, and baby/toddler stuff (stroller, baby swing, playpen, etc.)

[@ThankNephew]

I would always put the jellybean bush in my houses haha

[@SquishSquish]

how can we go from that to the sims 4 where we have nothing for babies

[@Mldy96]

@@SquishSquish Yeah, the fact that it took them over 8 years to finally give us proper babies (coming in January IIRC?) is still boggling my mind for sure...

[@DoveJS]

@@SquishSquish Now now... the babies do have a onesie in Sims 4 if you spend all your time leveling up your knitting skill! 😂seriously only upside over the burrito babies that get left in the snow after you took them outside and your Sim forgot them. I do still debate getting the playpen and other baby stuff from the Sims 3 store sometimes. I always wanted them but couldn't justify the price before they were also sold separately from the world they came with but it's still a bit pricey I think. At least the stroller came in Generations because I had that one. 😆

[@TheGracefulChariot]

YES that playpen that kept all the toddler's needs up while they maxed their skills. you had to buy it off the store and every sims 3 youtuber had it for their 100 baby challenges. i was jealous because i was a kid and my parents wouldnt let me spend money on the sims 3 store lmfao.

[@sjjaewon]

When I first loaded up The Sims 4 and saw the Sims CLIMBING out of the pool, I could've sworn a tear of betrayal ran down my face...

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

YAAS! but you can build a wall around the pool and then they cant climb out... heh, a friend says ;)

[@harmc2301]

Don’t they climb out of pools in sims 3 as well?

[@faeri_]

@@harmc2301 they do indeedio

[@yu7699]

Sadie S. Factor = "satisfactor" 😳😏 Edit : "dead bodies don't drown" sounds SO ominous, I love it! hahaha

[@Ninaagabi]

Omg I was looking for this cause 🙆🏻‍♀️ over my head

[@Ardelin_]

Not "sadist" something?

[@yu7699]

Pretty sure it's meant to be read as one word: "Sadiesfactor" = satisfactor

[@melburton3187]

Lol I thought the S. stood for Sex. Like Sadie Sex Factor. Seedy Sex Factor. Which the love bed def has lol.

[@pacmanslay7962]

Sims 4 iconic objects: the wishing well and that pod bed thing from Get Famous. Also the shrub your sims can use to 'fertilize' or woohoo in.

[@00Rav3n00]

Don't forget the Get Famous Shark Pond. If you're a lilsimsie fan than you know that one well.

[@Spookiespaghetti]

THE WELL YES

[@aspenisthebest]

I wished for a child from the well and it gave my sim an actual child but I thought I was getting a baby or a toddler so I locked him in the basement and eventually got a toddler. The child was also a boy which is why he got sentenced to the basement. Still fed him.

[@cottage-core_]

cupcake machine

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

YES I love that well!

[@antisocialbunbun]

I remember deleting the sims 1 heart bed from their houses after using it so my mom wouldn’t see 💀 I was 9 and had to beg her to let me buy a teen rated game so she was very suspicious…if she had only known how suggestive sims 1 was lmao

[@allidland6739]

Every time my sims would woohoo in Sims 3, I would move the screen off the bed and mute the game even though I had headphones in. I was in middle school, but my parents told me not to use the game for inappropriate things. ☠️

[@gabbyparr6099]

In the Sims 4, I think the wohoo bushes are one of the most iconic items in the game!

[@faevondergeist67]

The big woohoo closet too

[@guillaumeschaack2351]

can we just appreciate how smooth sims 2 animations are

[@chelseag3365]

I remember being in shock when I saw them move their fingers separately.

[@oooelleo]

The love bed reminds me of CallMeKevin and without context that is very strange

[@Keldinosaurs]

*With* context that is an amazing reference and I love you

[@lonelybiscuit4886]

Good ol Dick Pickens

[@rebeccalawson6093]

"Don't come in, I'm vibrating!"

[@12woodsteps]

Imagine the chaos of those two playing Sims.. one of them would die

[@christopherdelacruz9728]

I feel like aspiration rewards in 2 are all memorable The hour glass life elixir, a literal electric chair, the giant ball that changes your aspiration. The spinny ball ride in the club is sick too The only one I can thing of from the more recent games is that weird claw time machine from 3. And the dj booth from 4 since it's so well designed

[@spacetrashfallingdown]

I also thought about the aspiration rewards! The personality changing ball, the money trees

[@sneakydeekie5472]

The love hot tub from Sims 2 gets me every time. Iconic.

[@maruubnd]

I never forget how traumatized my cousin and I were when we discovered the bed didn't say "juice in bed" but more like "games ;) in bed". In Spanish it said "jueguitos en la cama" and we read "juguitos en la cama" 🤣🤣

[@moratolca]

JAJAJJAAJ tomaban jugo en la cama

[@maruubnd]

@@moratolca ajaj nunca se sabe con los sims xD

[@leobart3328]

Oh hun ,4 million words of fanfics thats 7 times "War and Peace" and 4 whole times all Harry Potter Books , thats iconic

[@caitlianna]

Literally everything in makin' magic, iconic. Also the aquarium you can swim in in the sims 1

[@Amity-park]

Totally still wish for a smaller version, but the baking machine in the sims 4 is certainly iconic. And the giant telescope for that matter.

[@kkuudandere]

iconic for all the wrong? right? questionable reasons

[@Amity-park]

@@kkuudandere I’d say only wrong because there isn’t also a smaller version. The telescope is fine now that we have small ones too. The giant whacky machines have some fun quirkiness to them that I like. But they should always have a normal version alongside them.

[@kkuudandere]

@@Amity-park totally agree

[@erinlajoie]

The bubble blower in The Sims 2! Best way to get fun up and build relationships.

[@myrinity_]

Was seriously waiting for the toddler ball pit as an iconic sims 4 object

[@WhitenightMD]

The dancing floor and cage were part of the house party expansion pack I believe. The costume chest was one of my all time favorite objects!!!

[@Keldinosaurs]

Bonehilda just running away to the swimming pool had me giggling louder than it should've 🦕🦕 I love her so much [Edited because I forgot to say pool]

[@Sarah-xr9kn]

Plumbella is one of the most iconic things in the sims

[@bargainbinredhead]

Sims 3 for me is the band instruments. The fact that you can have multiple sims playing together is chef’s kiss. Also the space and rainbow castle mural wallpapers in Sims 3. I’d intentionally design rooms with a three panel wall so my kids could have one. Sims 2 I would have every family member with their own mechanic car just because I had one or two sim needs to increase that skill and doing the car was the best way to go about leveling it up. I think I had six in total once and had the most ridiculously huge driveway to accomodate them all.

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

i remember doing things like that. well... i have an entire house set up underground so i can put a huge garden of money trees in one lot and 5 levels of basements i had all "the farmers" living in... lmao. so i feel ya 100%

[@SupergirlUK]

I had a butterfly chair and inflatable foot stool (pouffe) in the late 90s/00s. The early 00s was peak tat! Beaded curtains, lava or UFO lamps, inflatable furniture 🙌🤩 What a time to be alive 😅

[@BennyCadillac]

Now I’m nostalgic for “Dharma & Greg” lol

[@ihatemickiegee]

i had beaded curtains in every bedroom until 2007

[@julietmonnier1587]

The tragic clown painting in the first Sims has fueled my nightmares for decades.

[@Mandy87Marie]

I refused to ever use it, since I’m afraid of clowns

[@annemarievanpeer120]

You know what? For me the observatory from the Sims 4 IS iconic. I remember when I played a game where I decided to try and woohoo/make a baby with every single sim that visited my household. My first victim was the cleaner, a bald guy looking an awful lot like Mr Clean named Jacob. We woohoo'd in the observatory and got twins, named Observatory Jacob I and Observatory Jacob II (well, OJ I and OJ II for short - their full names didn't fit). Of course the household was a mess and we didn't have time for twins so OJ II was put in a one by two square and taken away by social services. But OJ I and in extension his spawning point the observatory both live in my heart 💖

[@dorotanoga9024]

Great story 😂

[@rebeccalawson6093]

I had the same goal with Brandi Broke in TS2. Get her impregnated by every one in the neighborhood

[@koobone]

this is the epitome of a simmer.

[@AnimalLover101195]

1:45 the fact that the bed's description says "group activity" at the bottom don't remember that from childhood 😹😹😹

[@NikolaTransforms5]

They need to make a sims 4 kit with iconic sims objects

[@lunalovebuzz]

I fully thought that's what their new 'trailer' was teasing, but it turns out that video is just a commercial?

[@britneycayton3978]

The potion making station was so iconic

[@lish6026]

The dance cage!!! Can't remember if it was sims 1 or 2 but I always used to put one in my house to quickly build up their fun or for parties 🤣

[@ihatemickiegee]

OMG YES

[@heyitsnicki644]

If I could add anything to your list from the original Sims, it's the Barcelona kitchen counter. That curvy one, you know which one I'm talking about. There's a whole Twitter account dedicated to that counter and I feel it. I used that counter in every single house I lived in.

[@resikek1207]

That counter was amazing, I also used it in all of my builds lmao

[@etheplant]

i mean most things from the sims 3 generations but esp the costume box for kids and the canes for old sims. the martial art stuff from world adventures is pretty iconic too IMO. the pee bushes in the sims 4 is pretty iconic too

[@IlaMedlin]

One of the only comments my brain remembers from the last video was people lamenting that they missed Hey Hens. And, while I am a “Bon soir Babe,” I am moved nearly to to tears hearting that Hey Hens because I saw those comments. So generous, she gave us both. 🥰

[@Shortlan]

Rebuilding the car in the Sims 2 was my favourite thing and I would always cheat money just to have it. Such a cool car after all the work. And spiral stairs! Aw. now I'm nostalgic.

[@niyahrobinson2523]

“sorry into the future really triggers me every single time actually bc i do not wanna visit the future rn cuz the present is hard enough!” me too babe me too

[@jencoleman0504]

the sims 2 was my jam as a kid. I miss the cribs and changing tables so bad lmao

[@sarahsnostalgicdream]

I got some good news for you bud-

[@simmer_johanna6832]

I feel like in the sims 2, the telescope from dons rooftop is one of the most iconic items. Also in the sims 4, the vampire stuffed bear that doesn't show up in mirrors swell as that ridiculously large cupcake machine.

[@corasauras]

I feel like it getting dark at 4 pm makes me more depressed than the rain does - love the rain hate the dark 😢

[@steffanixoom]

"I LOVE the Sims using things from the Sims in the Sims" SAME BESTIE I truly miss all the hobby type objects like the preserves station & spinning wheel from ts1, and the sewing machine & pottery wheel from ts2

[@taz2906]

The Heart Bed and the entire set of cow furniture are my favorite iconic Sims items from past games

[@comparethemiaKAT]

I think I had one of those inflatable armchairs, when I was a kid - but I always wanted a sofa one! I used to look at them all in the Argos catalogues 😂😂

[@simulationislife1502]

Fun fact: The original sims game had spiral staircases that came with Unleashed EP. Over time they have just been an iconic item. I also think the dancing cage from Sims 1 was pretty out there in it's time.

[@Zandalorscat]

The Sims 1 truly had lovely objects and wallpapers. The art and design had so mich atmosphere. Makin' Magic was so beautiful in a way they haven't been able to achieve with a magic pack since.

[@opossumenthusiast7374]

Something I’ve been thinking a lot about is the little fairy houses in the sims 3. I love fairies and elves so much it just makes me wanna hshsbnw

[@bazookaprowess802]

Sadie S. Factor is probably a halfway pun for 'satisfaction'

[@WillowPurringtonKitten]

I loved that when there was children in sims1 around the entertainer they would turn into a big bear x))

[@vanyadolly]

There are so many things I still miss from TS1! And the game didn't even *have* that many objects. They need to bring all of them back.

[@pollycmaker]

I have often thought they should add an iconic pack with items like this. When I was a kid I thought the boomerang windows were the peak of cool

[@witchthief9735]

Can't remember if they were from a pack or not, but the sims 2 had these like cube lights that you could stack on top of each other and I used to go MENTAL with them, and having them all set to flash different colours 😭 wreaked havoc on my framerate

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

OMG I REMEMBER THOSE!!!!

[@MarnieLuna]

The woohoo bush is definitely iconic for sims 4

[@laurenrobertson5897]

Cow plant in sims 2 University was very iconic for me and my sister

[@laurendubosky]

Autumnal weather is my favorite too! Fog and rain are my jam. ☔️🍂🍁☁️ I honestly kind of get a little bit of reverse seasonal depression during the peak of summer because it’s just too hot and humid here and my body hates the heat. 😒

[@heather7992]

I can't over the fact that I hired cake strippers as a child in a game.

[@soniboni387]

The dancing cage from Sims 1 came with House Party I think. This thing was iconic within the iconic category. For the Sims 4 I'd add the decoration box from Seasons. It's a money maker. Love the elements collection, too! It's mad underrated!

[@sarahlaborde4912]

I think one of the most iconic things for The Sims 1 for me was The haunted spooky world in the clown world you could go to and ride the roller coasters

[@lyn3325]

That bed was the ONLY bed I used when I was a kid in the Sims 1.

[@starzzzy22]

When I was in 5th grade, I remember one of my friends trying to explain the Sims (1) to me and talking about that vibrating bed. I'm not sure we completely understood it back then, but it does bring back memories 😅.

[@ashiftyleaf3589]

Why is it when I look at the air chairs and sofas from the sims I just felt the urge to eat them

[@Katalyste]

i remember all these! i was in my early 20s when Sims 1 came out. I loved how more adult the Sims was. They really should have 2 modes so they don't have to have a "G" version for everyone.

[@hazell1304]

I remember my friend having one of those clear blow up chairs in the 00s, the closest I got was a phone stand that looked like a mini one 😂

[@geo.k.8800]

the cupcake machine, the pond from get famous, the wishing well etc. all iconic sims 4 objects!!

[@mpnyx]

The Sims 1 itself is so iconic, so raunchy, so GOOD. /sigh

[@StoryGirl83]

I love having a parent and child work on the car together.

[@tiffk5768]

Managed to convince my parents to get me the sims 1 and expansions when i was like 12, not knowing just how raunchy it is xD parents never caught on.

[@turhakuolla6078]

my earliest memory of ts3 is that outdoors playhouse. i was in a tennis camp and this rich girl brought her stupid macbook. we played the sims 3 and i was AMAZED at this crystal clear graphics n shit and THAT GARDEN HOUSE THINGbut i only had the stinky old ts2. later that day the laptops charger burned down and started a fire in the motel:)) i sadly never convinced my anti video game mom to get me the sims 3 and i jumped straight from ts2 to ts4 when it came out.

[@turhakuolla6078]

now that i think of this event i realize theres something inherently simsy about a fuckin charger just up and going AFLAME (literally how i remembered that but i was like 12 when this happened)

[@marielledelaine]

i'd say the woohoo-toilet-bed bush is really iconic!

[@avsambart]

I hope we get back to a more adult and unhinged sims when Sims5 comes out. The vibrating bed, Spiral staircases, the group smoking bubble thing (Sims2), the loveheart hottub, the dance club dancing floor and cage, and the cake entertainer are the best. Also I want robbers back.

[@kittykels]

The vibrating heart bed really is the most iconic Sims item. I've played since the first Sims game and I may not remember much, but i absolutely remember that bed and I thought it was the coolest thing 🤣

[@shannonk1581]

seeing the neglect house followed by the shagger house was an uncomfortable moment because I briefly judged you then realised I have the exact same equivalent sim households, I'm just too cowardly to really call them what they are like you do

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

i chocked on my drink..... i think we all do... i just delete my games when they get too toxic like that... no evidence that way lmao

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

7:43 Literally one of the many reasons I love ya face, chica. Your wit and personality is just fantastical.

[@papercuts500]

I wish sims would make a throw back expansion and use all the cool shit they left behind in other games. That'd be sick and so popular

[@Nonethelessersoul]

the scene with the female entertainer and the whole roast turkey had me laughing so much i dont know why! :)

[@Pozorrogo]

The bathroom bush from the werewolves pack is iconic

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

the anything goes bush or the party bush are base game i believe

[@honestlyaccurate6571]

7:25 I swear this was in MySims Kingdom, and that's hazy memory because I played that back on the Wii in around 2009.

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

My personal sims 4 iconic objects: The cupcake machine, The Wishing Well, the talking toilets, patchy, pufferfish nigiri, the shark-themed slip-n-slide, the anniversary hot tub, the get together closets and bushes, spooky stuff wallpapers, the plumbob lamps, the tragic clown painting, and the baby yoda statue. I'm not even a star wars fan but I just think he's such a funny thing to hide on lots.

[@amberinoface]

they gave princess cordelia the flowers. iconic

[@vanyadolly]

I love fall and rainy weather too! Maybe it's an anxiety thing. Spring can fuck right off.

[@alex9190]

i had a blue sparkly inflatable chair and i loved it so much, it wasn't the most uncomfortable thing. i think my grandmas cat destroyed it

[@Seiferboi]

I wish TS4 had those inflatable pieces of furniture from the first game, or at least CC versions! I've been searching for something similar for years, now lol! I have CC beds for the kid's beds from TS2 that you showed. The space and castle ones. The CC came with the whole bedroom set and wall/floor patterns!

[@mekenna6214]

that’s SO TRUE about autumn weather i have MDD (major depressive disorder- basically clinical depression but juicy) and i LOVE cold weather and rain. if anything, it’s summer that makes me more depressed.

[@curse1756]

You missed the iconic Sims 1 dragons

[@anton_7xg]

You totally forgot the wohoo bush

[@vivalamew]

Yeah that's the most iconic item from the sims 4 for me. The previous games didn't have it.

[@Victoria-rd5mx]

Wow did not realize that alien crib from the sims 2 would make me feel such things and yet here we are remembering how I used to put my favorite child in that crib

[@SyreneFaroreVA]

I smiled SOOOO MUCH when Jesse said “hey hens” at the start! Oh how I’ve missed a good ol’ Hey Hens!

[@LittleSparrow17]

We need these items in a nostalgia kit!

[@ChaoticKittyy]

Man. This honestly solidified how I've been feeling about the Sims 4. All previous sims games had so much character and personality and honestly pretty iconic silliness and imagination behind it. Sims 4 feels like it's become an aesthetic showroom of idyllic suburban life. I enjoy the Sims 4, but it's lacking what made me fall in love with the franchise as a kid.

[@thesnep4757]

One that comes to mind for me with iconic things in the sims 4... the pool thing from Get Famous where you can have the bitey fish that nom nom you to death.

[@sophiecoats-clemans329]

the talking toilet was a big part of my black widow challenge, jim the toilet was my sim’s friend/confidant about her money making schemes

[@Aelle_Vox]

The most iconic item I remember from the Sims 1: The dive-tank, I LOVED it! I think it came with the Superstar-pack? I remember once a burglar came to my lot and just stole the entire, huge dive tank and put it in his little bag 😶😂

[@KevinVeroneau]

I'm sure someone already mentioned this, the dancing thing I believe you were referring to was the dancing cage, and it was included with the Sims 1 through the Hot Date expansion. The Sims 1 also introduced spiral staircases with the Living Large expansion I believe. Great video though! The Sims 1 really felt unhinged, especially when it came to it's many expansion packs, base game Sims 1 is actually pretty family friendly for the most part, if you don't include the creepy Goth house, the sound effects, and let's not forget the prank calls the probably terrified many kids.

[@your_resident_pisces]

Love your vids! 13:51 SENT me because I was waiting for it lol 😂❤

[@TheMaritimeHorror]

3:00 oh God I now remember friends who had these inflatable chairs.

[@shyviolets]

I needed this to get through the holiday thanks Jess 😘✨

[@BennyCadillac]

Same. This perked me right up. 👏

[@Thenpai]

the console version of the sims 2 had this surfing object and I always thought that item was iconic. It'll always be ingrained in my brain.

[@bowlandfishes]

for sims 4 i would say the woohoo bushes, cupcake machine, painting of the little boy (??), & the ugly base game plant in the rectangular pot

[@Rekowcski]

When I see a Sims 1 thumbnail I just can't stay away.

[@RainbowTrash06]

In my opinion the most iconic sims 4 objects are the woohoo bush, the cupcake machine and the Get famous pod beds

[@ab_3963]

3:57 THE CAGE !!!!

[@Dagothae]

The skydiving simulator and the giant fish tank in the I think the sims one. My entire childhood.

[@mabsie2249]

My inflatable chair was always the comfiest (she was purple and stunning) because I never fully inflated it so I could sink into it a little. Also I'm bi and it was perfect for sitting weirdly in Edit: I think the dancing cage came with the Sims House Party? But I may be misremembering. Iconic Sims 1 item, though, that giant aquarium you could swim in

[@07syldatk]

YOU FORTOT THE WOOHOO BUSH
