SimAnimals: A Weird Sims Spin-Off I Never Even Knew Existed

[@prudencesofty]

Hi every1 sorry 4 the delay!!! Thank u to those who commented about the audio problems I had yesterday. I don’t listen to it with headphones so I just thought it was my laptop sound being crap. lol it was evil audacity’s fault 🤪 nah it was mine, hopefully it’s ok now but I’m TREMBLING! Thank u every 1 for ur time!!! XxxX

[@plentyoflulu4694]

twas me! Good to know you fixed it i can now enjoy it

[@chattychatotchannel]

aaa omgomgomg I just saw you uploaded this and I’m so super excited to watch I didn’t know there were so many simanimal games! I only knew of the forest ones

[@prudencesofty]

thank you!!! I hope u enjoyed it!!

[@insectsandangels]

your upload schedule roughly syncs with my menstrual cycle and that's so important

[@prudencesofty]

imagine if i just replied with "i know"

[@dollarstorevodka]

Bestie me too

[@rosoideaeco]

im going off non cycling birth control soon maybe i should time my stop so mine syncs too

I remember playing the wii game and whenever the bears would try to eat a baby animal I'd just SHAKE THEM VIOLENTLY

[@prudencesofty]

ik like its the circle of life but like the bears can eat apples n stuff they deserve to get the shaking punishment from a disembodied glove for eating precious herbivores called ALAN, no need for it tbh!!!

[@6thpuppet]

oh my god I remember playing this all the time and being so angry at the animals being so RUDE 😭😭😭😭

[@TheMonarchofMonarchs933]

Preach fellow X-player, it's so true. The bears were really good to me though. How about you?

[@mrclean923]

I remember getting so attached to a squirrel in SimAnimals for the Wii when I was 6 that I cried for about a day after I accidentally fed it to a bear. I then tried to start a new save with a new squirrel but the weight of my actions on my conscience was too much to bear and I never picked up the game again. R.I.P Colin, gone but never forgotten

[@xxferalfreakxx]

Pun intended? lol

[@itsonlyme112]

SimAnimals isn't really a Sims spin off, but apart of the broader Sim franchise (which includes Simcity, The Sims, SimAnt, SimWorld, etc)

[@prudencesofty]

i'm sorry :(

[@Stibly]

Aren't those still technically spin-offs though...

[@PuggiePie10]

I had Sim animals on the Wii as an eight-year-old. I cannot tell you how terrifying it was to hear the noise that your animals were getting in a fight or being eaten or dying.

[@brolylook]

RIGHT

[@AD-ts6gq]

I used to crawl to our big box TV and turn the volume all the way down because the sound terrified me, lol

[@jits8767]

i clicked on this video thinking i never played this, but immeadiately when i saw the squirrels something tickled in my brain. how can something be so familiar yet so foreign? fascinating

[@Stibly]

Maybe you played the game once at a friend's house?

[@fluorescentgreys]

these feel like games a relative you don’t like all that much would get you for your birthday because it was cheap and your mum told them you liked those sims games

[@chattychatotchannel]

Haha my big sister got me this game for my birthday!

[@prudencesofty]

lmaooooo literally!!

[@mysterious_bi_one]

i got sims 2 pets for ds quite a let down for me coming from playing sims 2 pets on PC and it was apartment related for some reason and you ran a pet store below

[@fluorescentgreys]

@@mysterious_bi_one i had the ds sims 2 pets too and the thing i remember most about it is that it played this one song over and over and it used to make me so mad

[@mysterious_bi_one]

@@fluorescentgreys i would just turn the music off just like I do on the PC game of sims 4 because like you sid it was so annoying

[@moomindove9010]

Theses games were my childhood I would always use the cheats to get the pink elephant and rainbow zebra every save.I use to bring my favorite lion to the first area every time I got bored and just chased the zebras around I had a strange hatred for that zebra totem

[@prudencesofty]

HAHAHAH WHAT!???!! I love that!!! we need to all boo the zebra totem rn

[@sullie7811]

I absolutely adored these games when I was a kid, they were my whole worlddd. I can’t even explain the rush of nostalgia I got when I heard the little tunes playing 😭😭😭

[@chattychatotchannel]

The little illustrations in the sim animal africa ds are so expressive and fun

[@prudencesofty]

omg yes may be controversial but I actually prefer the Africa ds you should defo play that one if you see a copy thats cheap at a charity shop or something !!!

[@WeevilWoodpecker]

Sim animals Africa is way Superior. It fixed the main problem I had with the first game and also you can make the parrot say curse words 100/10 game

[@nillab4605]

i was absolutely OBSESSED with sim animals ds when i was 10. i played the area with foxes like a warriors cats clan😂😂

[@PhoenixRoseYT]

I still have my copy of Sim Animals. I remember being so perplexed by the game when actually playing it because I expected Sims but with animals 😐

[@katvelyte]

I can't overstate how underrated this video is.

[@prudencesofty]

awww thats very kind of you to say thank u sm xx

[@payyyotic]

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY!!!! I remember the Africa one from when I was younger and I couldn’t find it anywhere when I looked for it again a couple years ago

[@chattychatotchannel]

Hearing the ds music makes me so nostalgic omg and watching it unlocked memories I forgotten. The moving in music made me giggle I remembered it. It is pretty catchy isn’t it? I dunno what it is about old games but as a kid I remembered it looking a lot better and forest-y and realistic oh dear I guess our imagination bridged the gap haha

[@prudencesofty]

its very catchy!!!! almost ... tooo catchy!! i know its mad how you remember things so differently :') ah its still a good game i can imagine you could get obsessed with trying to 100% the ds versions at least, but yeah i decided to play all the games so the vid was a bit longer haha x

[@kevinlucero2817]

How cool would it be if they make a remake of this as well as for Africa both with more contents each game? It would be cool if they do it on the swtich

[@laraendlight9887]

I love SimAnimals, I spent ours on these games! Once on the SimAnimals for DS, I've got this pink bird, an "happiness bird" that spawned because all the animals in one biome were super happy and I just kept it in the backpack 'cause I didn't want it to got away anymore. I've never got something similar in other games, I can't find it on the Wiki (I'm italian and it's been years since I've been active in the community so I don't remember if it was still called "happiness robin" in english too and it seems like it doesn't find any info with other keywords) and I'm still wondering if I had just hallucinated😂

[@mylaxo8342]

I was totally obsessed with SimAnimals Africa as a kid. I would actually love to see a remake of it ngl

[@jasmineh8807]

I only knew SimAnimals Africa on Wii. However I couldn't finish it myself (I only had the pirated version, so saving didn't work to start again from where I left it). Thanks to you now I know how it ends. Thank you so much for this video!

[@Klagerfeld12]

Mother Prudence is mothering with this vid. She ate 1080p and left no pixels.

[@guillermocervisalmeron2209]

I dont know how they made a Sims 2 game as an animal zoo tycoon but it works it has so much potencial

[@catharticc]

carried and processed 20 buckets full of Unfathomable, Foul Slop at work today and am happy to return to see a soft prudence upload . delightful day

[@jensendsflowers]

When the world needed her most, she uploaded! ❤

[@prudencesofty]

AWWWWW 🥹🩷

[@lenyle1677]

I remember my mom buying me this game cause it was on sale at a supermarket. I got whatever game seemed fun and ended up being my favorite. I missed this game so much especially the music of the ds version which really stuck w me 😭

[@s.b.7987]

i remember playing Sim Animals Africa on the DS. my only gripe is that they should’ve added more animals like buffalo, leopards, baboons, chimps, ostriches etc.

[@Stibly]

Fr. Simanimals Africa has a lot less content than the first game but at least it's more polished...

[@guacamollie1]

i loved the duck land because you didn’t have to feed them you could just pour water on them and they liked it

[@prudencesofty]

WAIT YOU COULD DO THAT ??!?!?!?

[@silashurd3597]

Oh god these were my childhood! I played both Forest and Africa version on Wii and DS! They were really fun. I should play them again one day and recapture that nostalgia

[@Stibly]

32:42 NOOOO NOT BABY ZEBRA. There is actually way to stop animals from eating each other (which would have been useful before-). If you rapidly move your hand on the fight cloud it'll separate the animals and no one is hurt. I have no idea how I discovered this as a kid but I'm glad I did, way too many close calls...

[@prudencesofty]

OMG !! i could've avoided so much heartache!!! but tbh i wouldnt have been fast enough anyway :(

[@tisvana18]

I remember how upset I was when my dad got this for me. I asked for it because I thought it would be The Sims but with animals. I don’t know wtf little me was wanting or expecting

[@Xschrodingersdog]

oh I remember those games! I used to love DS version so much, and wished I could get Wii one. Recently replayed them and realised they were so good only because of how great my childhood imagination was... I remember creating backstories for animals and overpopulating my maps with wolves lol

[@prudencesofty]

awww thats sweet tho !!!! but omg is that a john simm pfp?!?!?

[@Xschrodingersdog]

@@prudencesofty yup!!

[@Kiyajadie]

Crazy that this shows up in my recommended because I was just thinking about this series of games recently

[@chattychatotchannel]

Thank you so much for doing this it made me so happy aaa

[@prudencesofty]

it was my pleasure I just hope u enjoyed it, and thank you for always watching my videos !!! xxx

[@brolylook]

Dude i played sims animals the forest one for hours and hours and hours i remember all the low quality animation and all the sounds, i remember setting shit on fire it was so fun

[@peaceout7461]

i LOVED this as a kid. At the time I didn’t know that actual sims existed 😂

[@shatteredslime1593]

i remember playing the wii versions constantly as a kid but never hear anyone talk about this spin off series ever

[@KatsyKat]

as a brit this feels strange somehow hearing an accent I hear everyday on YT

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

Unironically more content that the base game sims 4

aw thank u xx

[@camillenaudin1967]

I played both games on DS and these were FIRE ! I remember always having a cloud ready for any wildfire, and strugling like hell to blow to shake trees but being too stubborn to just use the tactile way lmao

[@imwatchin8807]

I remember playing this, bit lost the game and at some point thought i might just have had a fever dream and invented this game. Nice to see it's an actual thing

[@WeevilWoodpecker]

Thanks to this video I now have both sim animal games for the DS and I'm probably the sim animals biggest fan

[@3rdeye0pen]

Had a shite day so cheers for the upload, needed this today tyty

[@alexiaholmes9209]

I completely forgot about sims animals this videos gave me concussion level nostalgia

[@aaazzz8324]

I remember playing that on the Wi and there was a place on the map where there were bunnies but all of them kept getting eaten by the cats there, i think. And I was so worried they would all be devoured and i would be left with 0 of them, that I never went to that part of the map and just ignored it lol

[@MutatedWires]

You somehow play every spinoff that I have deep nostalgia for that lays in a dormant state; only for it to eventually give me severe whiplash as it all floods back in, all at once LMAO (The wii version specifically is one i hold oddly dear, and I had no recollection why until now - I STILL remember being stressed over these fuckin' bears, cause holy shit they were on something- that something was the circle of life.. but still !!!)

[@pinky_pepper]

this reminds me of a lot of old 90s maxis games, like simlife and simpark. i think they're not rly the sims spinoffs technically, but like, regular sims games in the vein of simcity which kind of stopped being a thing in the 2000s lol

[@danse-move]

When the animals would “mate” with the hearts around them I remember my mom telling me the game was inappropriate and it made me feel guilty lol. She let me keep playing it tho

[@dely5553]

i loved these as a kid and i still have mine to this day. love them

[@Stibly]

It's about time someone talks about DS Simanimals, thank youuu.

[@prudencesofty]

Aww its my pleasure!! surprised no one had done a vid already?

[@Stibly]

​@@prudencesofty Yes lol. I've been waiting for so long. Side note, it's definitely a good thing you decided not to 100% the game because Simanimals DS has a glitch where some rare plants just won't spawn, ever. I'm trying to complete the game 100% myself.

[@prudencesofty]

aww no way!!!! REALLY?!?!? omg im so glad i didnt hahah

[@heyfreakazoid8175]

I used to play the sims animals africa and i loved it as a kid, this video makes me wanna go play it again

[@stormbix]

I remember this game. It was one of my favorite DS games.

[@cassiepage640]

Played the crap out of this game and the african one as a kid. Loved them so much. The theme music brought the memories right back ❤ Edit: i remember yeeting the animals whenever they tried to attack eachother haha. So funny

[@amandarubyred3207]

I love this i love hearing your voice ❤️

[@icecube-n7u]

fucking hell the nostalgia is real for SimAnimals ds i rememeber having a hard time with the bunny and fox level around an old building

[@aaazzz8324]

I had cracked versions of SimAnimals Africa and Forests on my Wii when i was younger and i loved it haha. I would play it again today, just for the sake of nostalgia (and also because i wasn’t able to figure out some stuff about the gameplay and the story back then and I need to take my revenge on these game and figure it out)

[@enimo9241]

I only had SimAnimals Africa, I loved it. I thought that one berry that changes an animal's colour to be unnaturally coloured was so cool, like a shiny Pokemon, I wanted to make it my goal to change all my animals' colours. Also I named my raptor Yoshi.

[@TheGingeQueen]

Omg I remember playing the Africa version on both the Wii and DS they were my childhood

[@Letycs]

The flashback. 😭 I loved simanimals on the wii as a kid.

[@FeathermaneEdits]

I love how they make you bond with the zebras only to have the lions eat them 😂

[@Sin_Ligereep]

Man, I'm surprised I've never come across these games before. I would have liked them when I was younger and probably would have reminisced fondly of them like I do about Petz 5/Catz & Dogz5 and Zoo Tycoon.

[@chattychatotchannel]

The missing letters of the wii one reminds me of those indie horror games with corrupt games. I’m surprised by how different the wii one is to the ds one it looks quite cute!

[@prudencesofty]

omg yeah someone could make a good horror game with the missing letters lol !!

[@Molldogwalker]

the africa one was my fave game growing up omg

[@NaturalBornLoserrrr]

the game: maybe if you're lucky you'll see a *glimpse* of the sneaky weasel !1!1! the weasels: we are here to fck shit up

[@kywire._]

The Wii version of SimAnimals Africa was everything to me as a kid!!! I was so disappointed that the DS version was different. I struggled to get through all the levels on the regular Wii SimAnimals game -- it seemed glitchy or just kinda busted. And my files on Wii SimAnimals Africa always got corrupted right at the end of the game and I couldn't continue playing on them, but that's ok cuz I restarted the game many times. You can collect a bunch of species of bugs. :~)

[@eggrhat1461]

Yep, you can't 100% the game, just stops loading the save when you get to like 60%. So i tried not to explore the fruits and insects and such. sigh

oh god i cant remember off the top of my head just had to google it again lol but i was using the beta version of dolphin, and it was under graphics settings and changing the backend to direct3D 11 ( or u can change to vulkan but direct3d 11 work for me) hope this fixes it !!! xx

[@zuritary4075]

In Sims Africa I always liked throwing them into the water.. and whenever you put in codes to make your zebra rainbow or your elephant pink you would never be able to use that save again 😶

[@eggrhat1461]

It's a percentage thing I think, I've been able to play with the cool colored animals but if i unlocked too many insects or fruits my game would stop loading at like 60%. At first I thought it was from unlocking the meat from that tree in the giraffe place.

[@eggrhat1461]

oh and when i can play with the pink elephants and such, when other animals keep getting born or spawn in they have a chance to get the special coloring. so cool

When I was a kid I got the SimAnimals DS game, and I got so far into it. I became obsessed with this game! It made me feel very satisfied as a kid. Until I realized I had to begun farming squirrels to feed my wolves. Then it became more... of a cool science experiment.

[@prudencesofty]

omg ahahahahahh

[@albytross8681]

Freaking loved these games (DS ones I never played the Wii ones) man. They were so good. Might be nostalgia based on this video 🤣 but straight out the womb I loved grindy games that take ages to progress. I would totally play these again now and I remember collecting everything in both games. Every fish and bug in Africa and there was some cool color changing things that were really rare and you got an achievement for it or something (you discovered one accidentally) The first one for some reason was a bit harder for me than Africa
