Sims 1 vs Sims 2 vs Sims 3 - Genie's Lamp

Sims 1 vs Sims 2 vs Sims 3 - Genie's Lamp
A genie's lamp can be used to summon a genie, who can grant your Sim Wishes.
Sims 1
In the Sims 1, the genie lamp was introduced in The Sims: Livin' Large. A genie lamp can be found in buy mode and it costs - A lamp can be cleaned once a day, but several wishes can be made in a day if each one is made from a different lamp. After your Sim rubs the lamp a genie will be summoned. In The Sims 1 you can't wish for whatever you want. The Genie will give your Sim a choice between two wishes. Wishes can be a success, but they can also go wrong, and almost always do.
Sims 2
In The Sims 2: FreeTime, the Gypsy Matchmaker may deliver the Dusty Old Lamp to your door. after you rub the lamp a genie will appear. and he can grant you 3 wishes. Wishes can go wrong, but usually don't. Here are the wishes available: Cheat death, Resurrect a Sim, Wealth, Beauty, Piece of mind and Long Life.
Sims 3
The Genie's lamp returned in Sims 3: Showtime. The Dusty Old Lamp can be found while exploring the catacombs in a graveyard. It may also be obtained after giving a "legendary" stage performance, by traveling through a PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor's dimensional gate, or It may also be bought for 30,000 Lifetime Happiness points.
After you clean the lamp, a genie will appear. a genie can grant you 3 wishes, but they'll need 12 hours rest between wishes. every wish will be a success, because wishes with negative outcomes no longer exist.
Here are the wishes available: World Peace, Resurrect Sim, More wishes, Love, Large family, Happiness, Fortune, Beauty, Long life, Free the Genie.
If you have Supernatural and also Showtime you can create a genie in CAS. They can be both male and female.

In The Sims 2, there was originally one more wish - "Give me Youth", hidden from play. This wish was never finished from Maxis and can only be unlocked by using a third-party mod.

[@adelyu6556]

That wish can be useful for those who accelerate age from toddler to adult either can't go to college i.e.: Plantsim.

[@magnus87]

The S1's lamp is limited but I like that every wish has a chance to go wrong. However I like that in the sims 2 for every wish there is a negative consequence, but the good thing about the sims 3 is the way to find and free the genie. The ideal would be a combination of the 3, possibility of failure, consequences if it works and complexity to find the lamp.

TS2 appearance wise and the summon and return action is the best out of the three. TS3 wins gameplay wise because you can do a lot more with the genie and even move one/create one into your household. TS1 adds more suspense because the consequences of the wishes are stronger. Each one has its strengths when it comes to the genies, but overall I choose TS3 as the winner. (TS4 could what? Never..)

[@tintaverse]

yes!! ❤️❤️

[@heyitsmira17]

Totally agree!

[@prudencephoto8225]

TS3 is the winner but TS1 is adorable! I love that TS1 sense of humour type 😄 Thanks for new great video ❤

[@ShadowXII]

From my own observation, the Sims 2 lamp is dropped off if your household has high relationship gains, promotions, romance(family or hookups) and high aspiration over any given two-week period. She says 'path of excellence', and she means it, keeping your sims busy busy achieving excellence. It's mostly a reward for good gameplay, and that makes the more limited, life-changing wishes much more worth the effort.

As a kid playing Sims 1 I always wondered if the number of times the ginie nearly fell over was an indication of how incompetent and likely to screw up he was.

[@starswirI]

in sims 1 when you picked "friend" and it gave you one new friend, i dont know why but i assumed if you picked "family" it would give you one new family member 😭

Knowing that the Genies in Sims 3 can let take control of others Sims that one thing alone was enough for me to get the showtime expansion pack in the first place

[@tintaverse]

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

Right that’s so cool, I never even tried that one

[@shawn.spencer]

In Sims 2, if you choose the money wish, 4 bags of money will always fall. It's not random or left to chance, you just have to wait. The first bag will be 10k, then 7k, then 5k, and finally 3k. But a few hours have to pass in between. And the will always fall only near the sim who made the wish. If your screen is not on the sim who made the wish, then you won't be notified for the new bags, you'll just randomly see them somewhere in your house. Because the way they work is when one is about to fall your sim's queue of actions will be cleared, then the bag will fall, they'll react to it, and then carry on if auto-will is on. You have to manually collect the money but no other sim can steal it from you. Also, I'm not sure if the burglar thing is true because I always wish for money (the rest of the wishes don't apply to my gameplay) and I've never had a burglar. To be fair, I've been playing sims 2 for 15 years now and I think I've only had burglars less than 10 times

In the Earth wish of Sims 1, if the spell fail and you don't have any plant in your house then he will summon 3 dead plant pots instead. I think it work like that if the spell success but with healthy plant pots.

I just think there should be either consequences or at least a small chance of the wish going wrong :0

[@trevie7589]

@@ple8379 Same! I definitely was inspired by Pet Sematary on the pet one. I'd love for spooky consequences. Every scary movie that deals with the dead returning theres always something that could go wrong so why shouldn't we have that in the sims?

[@ple8379]

@@trevie7589 Honestly, the sims 3 has the most potential to have more dark additions, I love this game the most, but it obviously could be better in some aspects. It just lacks this spice, y'know? It's always fun when there's even the slight chance of things to mess up.

[@hollyhartwick3832]

After a fashion, the genie sort of exists in The Sims 4, or at least a genie analogue. The Wishing Well introduced in Seasons serves the same function, and even has a genie-like face on it. Like the genie, it's sentient and grants wishes, though the chances of the wishes succeeding depend on the offering made before wishing. The more generous the offering, the better the odds.

[@ple8379]

This was in the video about a wishing well. It's not the same thing

[@hollyhartwick3832]

@@ple8379 - Not the same, but similar. You make wishes of a similar nature, like Love, Friendship and Wealth. Like some of the Genies, it can also go wrong. In the case of the well, it's from being stingy (rather like reviving the dead in older games.) That's why I used words like "after a fashion" and "analogue". I'm well aware they aren't the same thing. I said as much.

[@ple8379]

@@hollyhartwick3832 Other games also have wishing wells, so imo it would be a bit unfair :0. It would makes sense to put it there if only ts4 had it, but it's not the case, so it'd be out of place.

[@hollyhartwick3832]

@@ple8379 I'm not saying it should have been in the video. I was just making a comparison, that they do at least have something in Sims 4 that does more or less the same thing. I haven't seen the Wishing Well episode yet, but I was just noting the similarity.

If I made The Sims 5: Genies were introducted in Hocus Pocus, and you need to find the lamp in the Magic World, as soon as you rub it, you have three wishes, as it follows: I wish for money: Positive outcome: §1000000: ×1,5 Negative outcome: §1000000: ÷10 I wish for a guy/girl/Sim to love: Positive outcome: Summons a random Sim, of preferred gender of Sim. Negative outcome: Summons a random Sim that will be nemesis of the wishing Sim. I wish for a family: Positive outcome: An adoption will be free. Negative outcome: Summons a ghost child. I wish for skills: Positive outcome: A random skill is mastered. Negative outcome: All the skills will be ×0,5 I wish for a long life: Positive outcome: Goes back to the previous life stage Negative outcome: Goes to the next life stage If you have befriended the Genie, you can wish: I wish for your freedom: Positive outcome: The Genie will be free and part of your household. Negative outcome: Your Sim will turn into a Genie and be locked in the lamp. (THIS DOESN'T COUNT AS A DEATH) In CAS you can create a Genie, and you have the special interaction: I will make three wishes of yours true, which will have the other Sim wishing and your Sim choosing the wish or the punishment.

I love that both The Sims and Sims 2 also have negative consequences. The animations are are also far better. I cannot comment for Sims 3 too much, because I do not own Showtime (I would only be buying for Genies, and feel it not worth it, unless they gave it for free). I do like the idea of the playability, but their overall look and animations are subpar. Plus, all wishes granted without even any negative side effects is just lame, imo. I do not know which I think wins here, I think The Sims and Sims 2 would be a tie for me. The Sims has so many unique choices overall (also, you can buy as many lamps as you choose), however, like you stated, wishes are rarely successful. Sims 2's Genie Lamp is challenging to obtain (without mods or cheats), and while the success rate is higher, there are several negative side effects (meets my Genie headcanon, "be careful what you wish"), and the animations are definitely upgraded. On second thought, I think Sims 2 just edges out The Sims. One more aspect, I read the pinned comment, and wanted to let you know, that there are mods that add even more wishes than the one you stated.

[@AbsterNoneOther]

You're blind if you think the sims 1 and 2 have better animation than sims 3 based on what u see in this video

[@TheMya1988]

@@AbsterNoneOther Based purely on this video (Showtime is the only Sims 3 EP, that I do not own), teleportation from the lamp is not a better animation, to Genies that are hovering over a lamp with the mist, showing they are still confined to said lamp. Sure, once a Genie is set free, one could see teleportation to be an adequate method, but TS1/2 do not have an option to set free (without mods). You might find Sims 3's cutting corners with teleportation (i.e. getting in and out of cars, bikes, garages, buildings, Genie out of the lamp, etc.), as a better way to optimize (to reduce lag), but I do prefer the subtle details of those animations in the earlier games (especially TS2). Also, I do thoroughly enjoy playing Sims 3, for its open worlds, story progression many of its life states, etc. I still will point out the depth of details, animations and gameplay mechanics it is missing or when replaced.

I kinda prefer the sims 2 version, the wishes are like monkey paw wishes, where you get what you desire but with a bothersome twist to it. Nothing too major but something that you know is due to having made your life easier by essentially cheating using wishes. That "Peace of mind" wish is what I imagine Hell must be like, nothing is any different but something always goes wrong to make sure you never truly have peace
