The magical music for the Sims

[@CarlosDeLeónChannel]

I think the sims 1 has the best soundtrack and in game personality of the entire franchise.

[@atorosmarpereira]

so true

[@Damianukowiak]

Yes!! They never recreated the vibe of the first one.

[@EsperElves]

Although Sims 2 is my favorite… You‘re probably right. Apart from the game lore and mysteries of course

[@misscaptainL]

my dad who passed in 2011 really enjoyed the music whenever i played the sims 1 so he would hang out near me just to relax while i build the tackiest sims 1 mansions any 7 year old would build

[@diddykong9161]

'EA games.. charge for everything' 😂 love your videos!

[@loverrlee]

There is something so soothing about Sims music. It’s pure nostalgia ❤

[@Kanata2288]

Fun fact: One of the compositors for The Sims 3 songs, Steve Jablonsky, also created the ost for Desperate Housewives.

[@k-rce]

Iconic

[@michele3135]

I know! I didn't understand why they sounded so much similari, however here we go!

[@UntamedSimmer]

All the songs in the Sims 1 and Sims 2 is the BEST music and I enjoy singing along to them all.

[@McGuire40695]

This soundtrack was such a vibe, and I feel like I'm immediately transported back 23 years ago and playing TS1 in 2001

[@Sald8Trin]

Born in 95, I got original sims 1 cd, original living large, and every single expansion around the time they came out. Never ever heard deluxe edition music 😂

[@Sald8Trin]

Worth mentioning that build mode piano music is mostly improvised

[@leemwilson]

Hey, Hope all is well and would love you to break out more original sims videos, you really break down the game and present so well!

[@rinaldofilho1557]

so well-spoken, classy, eloquent and I love how CALM and chill your videos are, also direct to the point, no trashy clickbaits, screams or overreacting, no unnecessary cuts to jokes or unrelated videos/memes in the middle of them (and yet yours can be so humorous sometimes - love the posh vibes lol) no disrespect but so many of the big sims youtubers are quite overwhelming and try appealing to a younger audience while your channel has quickly become one of my favorites for how pleasant it is so I hope it gets a lot more views and subscribers. we stan! 🇧🇷 also I know classic sims 1 is more of your niche but since there's only so much you can do on that one, I would totally watch videos that are about the other generations, just talking about the franchise in general like these last two, or lore/curiosities, etc

[@k-rce]

Thank you so much! I’m definitely considering it as long as I find some nice topics!

[@atorosmarpereira]

you’ve perfectly described my feelings while i watch her videos!!!

[@V935_yt]

Yeah this a hundred times! Saw a post on the Sims Subreddit about your Videos and it is an instant sub.

[@bluelblock]

I loved TS1 Latin, TS2 Salsa, and went mad for the Simlish version of Depeche Mode's "Suffer Well." There was a Rock track from TS1 (I think it was rock3?) that had bits of the classic TS1 intro. Absolutely loved that one.

[@madinafrost2865]

I still listen to sims 1 music. Some of my forgotten favourites are from the console games though. Paramore on sims 2 ps2 is forever supreme. And the music from bustin out and castaway on ps2 is iconic ❤

[@McGuire40695]

4:15 As a northern American from Pennsylvania, I loved the vibe of Unleashed. It didn't click until you mentioned that that style of music was strictly American while the first few expansions had more world genres like bossa and jazz

[@summernightfalls]

Mark Mothersbaugh shaped my entire life. Devo, the sims 2, rugrats and so much more. Awesome composer. LOVE all the music from the sims games. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@rho8149]

I own precisely one Hawaiian shirt, and whenever I put it on, I hum the Sims Vacation music to myself, especially if it's -15 outside. Love the build music in The Sims, and also love the Sim City 3000 soundtrack. I always thought they were somehow related, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the video! Also, the music for the metal music station was amazing in The Sims 2.

[@ginoantonio9455]

Come back my OG sims legend ❤

[@jersey17109]

The soundtracks to Sims 1, Sim City 3000, and Sim City 4 are absolute masterpieces ♥️

[@iscoolnot888]

I know right?? Like, Rush Hour from SimCity 4 is one of my favorites.

[@nicky_mir]

I don't really know why but some of the Sims 2 music feels so melancholic (and also after many years nostalgic too) and listening it at some very emotional moment almost makes me drop a tear. Can't say the same about osts of the other instalments but can't deny that the theme from the Studio Town will forever be in my heart cause I'm a great fan of midcentury orchestral music.

[@k-rce]

The loading loop for Apartment life really hits that wistful feeling for me

[@nicky_mir]

Apartment Life Theme is the apogee of that ngl

[@mightyowl1800]

This is SUCH an interesting topic, imo Mark Mothersbaugh's impact on Sims 2 could be a whole video! Really enjoyed what Sims 2 music could have sounded like in an alternative universe. I've often wondered why sims 4 music doesn't "hit" the same (outside of being attached to an inferior product imo) but what you said about ALL of its music tracks playing ANYWHERE might be part of the problem. Being able to choose which packs music plays depending on what world you're in would be nice! Just would have felt more thoughtful

[@MrMountainchris]

I still listen to sims music in the car sometimes.

[@andremedeiros2181]

Your channel is such a fresh take on the sims. It's always the chillest classiest most pleasant experience to watch it. Thank you for another video!

[@shiranui498]

Playing the Sims 1 and SimCity 4 as a kid really helped expose me to multiple genres of music especially Jazz.

[@demo2823]

I associate the Salsa music with Don, lol. Probably because I was so young when I played it that I could only handle 1 or 2 people at a time.

[@jordangrigorov]

EA Games "Charge for Everything" 🤣That made me laugh

[@mathoune22]

It's a blessing to have you and The Sims Music Archive to give some love to the Sims 1 soundtrack ! So much iconic songs !!

[@k-rce]

The Sims 1 soundtrack is such a gem!

[@TheOG-GG]

Latest update. EA shut down The Sims Music Archive last week. Just like how they destroyed Maxis. EA's evil never ceases!!

[@jujifenty5031]

In a couple years Kirce will have a Million followers, and I will be able to say I was within the first 5000 :) Especially your newest two videos are great and really go into the depths of early Sims.

[@fretzil]

Sim City 3000 and Sims 1 music are some of my fave game soundtracks ever, thank you for making this video.

[@societycrumbles]

On the side-note, Steve Jablonsky also made the music for Desperate Housewives, including the opening theme, and you can really hear he has a distinct sound to his work.

[@k-rce]

Someone else mentioned this too and it all makes sense now!!!

[@Sims_it]

Danny Elfman composed the theme song for Desperate Housewives, but yeah, Steve Jablonsky composed all the rest of the music starting with episode 4 or 5 I think, and it's so similar!! It fits so well too, with the Sims 3 being about your sims going to their neighbors, living in a sunny neighborhood and DH having that same kind of vibe.

[@societycrumbles]

@@Sims_it Yeah, I made a mistake with my original statement, it was actually Danny Elfman. I think I mixed it up, because they did such a good job making the music have the same vibe. 😅

[@WhyrenGP]

as much as i love the sims1 and 2 sountracks, nothing is gonna beat that song from the "Sims 2 Generations" trailer. that trailer came with my copy of sims making magic and made me hyped beond believe for the sims 2.

[@lucaxel]

When are you dropping a new vid? Been waiting for a while now

[@V935_yt]

I actually hear the Sims Soundtrack as music

[@helix238]

I just recently discovered your channel and I love your videos so much! Don't understand why you dont have more subscribers really

[@djpirozzi]

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve studied and worked to TS1 music I’ve even communicated with a couple of the artists/composers on LinkedIn hahaha

[@condeuiosandilixtos7858]

Wow... I had no idea Jerry Martin had composed some tracks for TS2! I always found the TS1 build mode songs a bit too sad, but the one you showed us felt more peaceful. It honestly made me think of the concept of rebirth TS2 marketing was aiming for.

[@elchikoriko592]

I remember hearing "THE GAME SONG" by "Keke" in the Sims 2 -- I thought it was an original song for the Pop station, but it turned out to be an actual song by KEKE PALMER. I loved it so much I went on to cover it later... and maybe I need to go back and do the Simlish version? Loving your channel by the way, EASIEST subscribe of my life!

[@westanimesims]

Sims 1 has the best music, closely followed by Sims 2. I do agree that when it comes to Sims 3 it got a little mixed bag and I totally cannot remember anything from Sims 4 lol. As for my favorite, that will be the Disco music from Sims 1 House Party and Sims 2 Nightlife music.

[@k-rce]

Wholeheartedly agree!!

[@GearheadBrasileiro]

One of my favorite aspects of the first Sims installment has always been the music. It's almost as if it was designed to never become boring or tiresome. The bossa-nova influence for the "latin" tracks is fantastic and really sets the tone for the game. I've been playing it for the better part of the last 20 years and simply can't get enough of it!

[@ron.1738]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm addicted to the sims 3 soundtrack. It's probably nostalgia but it's almost a weekly listen

[@k-rce]

The soundtrack is a bop, I won’t lie

[@danielponces3565]

Loved it as always!!! I do hope you get to start doing your analysis takes on sims 2

[@lexilee4289]

I see a Kirce video, I like the Kirce video

[@koololdster]

Dag dag! My absolute favorite Sims music is music from the Sims 1.So iconic and so wonderful! Thanks for delving into this.

[@k-rce]

Agree! Happy to have you back!!

[@ere8ia]

i looooove the thumbnails of your videos ❤😂

[@sulgkoolon3891]

I really appreciate your videos! There arent many youtubers i get excited anout for posting these days, but literally exclaimed in pleased surprise when i saw that you had uploaded again 😛 thank you!

[@k-rce]

So happy to have you back!!

[@halloikbendee]

Ahh you capture the feel of the sims 1 sooo well i love it so much❤

[@TeaAndCinnamon]

Omg I need that unused track for sims 2 in my game!! Another great video, bestie

[@k-rce]

Added the link in the description box!!!

[@TeaAndCinnamon]

@@k-rce Thank you so much!!

[@demo2823]

Btw I played Mysims Kingdom and it's really interesting to see the musical overlap with Sims 2, the more blatant use of specific phrases and the overlap of language into Sims 3. The school dance song can also be heard in the Nightlife DJ booth. And a lot of the CAS music can be imported into Sims 2 and blend in nicely

[@moisescarinhas]

When I started driving I used to listen to Sims 1/2/3 music to make me feel relaxed, thank you once again for putting your effort and time to create another amazing video, I always get excited when I see that you uploaded 🥰

[@k-rce]

Always happy to have you!!

[@kore3919]

Oooh I think I’m gonna have to try that!

[@grandviewoptics]

My fav Simlish remake is Julien Baker's "Faith Healer" from TS4 Cottage Living. Nothing like sad indie sob folk while my Sim moongazes in the fields of Henford-on-Bagley 😭😭😭

[@TheOG-GG]

Yes! I was waiting for this video from you! Love it!! ^__^ Bosim Nova is my fave radio song from The Sims also! ^^ 3:12 HAHA! Spot on! 6:55 Thank you so much for sharing these! Great find! ^__^ 10:32 I miss these Sims Music videos so much! I wish they continued these in The Sims 4! 😭😭

[@SchylarV]

I love mark motherbaugh's work so much, i can hum to almost any sims song from 2 and 3 honestly speaking 😅

[@lilacheaven222]

I have playlists for both ts1 and ts2 music that I listen to regularly! So iconic.

[@TheMya1988]

While TS2 is my overall favorite of the mainline games, I just love the more classical style of TS1, especially regarding outside lots. Of course, the more awesome aspect of the music, is you can with all iterations, mix and match your favorites in, which cuts down on the later repetitiveness, or add in your own hidden gems❣

[@snsdot9foreverone857]

Are you working on the makin magic review?

[@ergosteur]

What a great video! Really cool to have and overview/retrospective of all the music. I never really registered all the little details you pointed out before but was always like vaguely aware? Now I’m going to have to go back and play Sims 1 with the expansions and listen to all the music I missed, only had the base game as a kid. I did have SimCity 3000 though and loved that soundtrack.

[@mihaelism]

This was a treat to watch! Thank you

[@EsperElves]

Sims 1 and 2 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@sulajkovski]

Music is probably the best part of the Sims.

[@EJHRB]

Kirce do Makin' Magic next I beg!!

[@k-rce]

It’s in the works 👀

[@yangto996]

Another incredible video!! Thank you so much for bringing new light to a subject I love so much.

[@Last_Access]

Another great video that does justice to what I consider to be one of the best video game soundtracks.

[@machoke666]

Bosim Nova is so fucking good! It's like one of my favorite songs of all time

[@gabrielmedina66]

Amazing video!! ♥🏆 I love all the sims music, but I feel that starting with the sims 2 they started to focus the game on a more "teenage" style because I think the music is softer and simpler. My favorite music will always be TS1, especially the building mode in Studio Town 😍 Btw, as a future suggestion 💡Maybe you could make a video talking about The Sims Online, which still survives thanks to a project called Freeso, there is a lot of content and music in that game that didn't appear in any of the expansions of the official game 😉✨

[@TordaiJenoArthurJenci]

keep it up love you

[@arizonapalms]

This was a great rundown of the music in the sims, nice work! I attribute the jazz/bossa in TS1 as the main reason why I listen to those two genres more than anything as an adult - also, The Urbz is so 2004 it's not even funny. Will there ever be an iconic collaboration like that in the future? I don't think so 🤣 Unless the black eyed peas get together again.

[@Spankaro]

Thank you so so much for the Sims Superstar OST, It's a childhood dream come true ♥ Sims 1 music is the best of the franchise, hands down! Edit: I wanted to add, straight from SIms 2 Nightlife: .... bo bobobo bobobo bobobo bobobo bobobo ♪ ♪

[@lavy-sujin]

Hi! Just wanted to say that I love your videos

[@atorosmarpereira]

[@johnschultz1902]

Love your videos !

[@GinaGodfrey]

when I played the sims 1 as a kid I used to switch to buy mode as I prefered that to the build mode music which looking back on is pretty odd haha

[@k-rce]

Undeniably the best tracks!

[@adrianblake8876]

5:00 Fun fact, the bop your sim can perform in Studio Town has inspired the names of the Curios' bros father and ex-wife...

[@k-rce]

Yes!! I mention this in my SuperStar review!!

[@DennisAlexis]

Great channel!

you have pretty natural nails

[@kitty_basspiano]

Definifely The sims 1 hot date, to me it has the best music ❤ I’m curious about who recorded these tracks?

[@juuulialferraz]

I usually hear the sims 1 soundtrack while building in the sims 4

[@lisehoover]

Do you have a mod to replace them ?

[@juuulialferraz]

@@lisehoover Actually, I don't... I open a youtube tab with the soundtrack and mute the game's music

[@lisehoover]

@@juuulialferraz You're right to do so, it's so much better. It changes the experience of building!

[@ab_3963]

unrelated but how do you say your username:) great video as always !

[@k-rce]

In English I’d say KURR-see!

[@CentauriSphere]

Hey Kirce, what are your thoughts on inZOI and do you plan to make vidoes about the game?:)

[@k-rce]

From what I’ve seen from inZOI it’s not really up my alley. It looks gorgeous, but I prefer things to be a little wild and strange, not necessarily a realistic life simulator. My play style is not for realistic or family gameplay. I prefer whacky characters and unrealistic things like aliens. I am also always a bit weary of “realistic graphics”, as I don’t love that uncanny valley and they tend to age poorly quickly. I actually think TS3 is a good example of this as well - despite being the third game I think the graphics have held up the worst. Making a video about inZOI is not on my list for now, especially not before it’s out and we actually get to see the product. What do you think?

[@CentauriSphere]

Oki thx just wanted to ask:) Maybe i'll play it dunno

[@BonBonToro]

ngl coming back to playing sims 2 the other year when I was collating its ost to listen to, also ended up throwbacking to bustin' out as I really enjoyed it in my childhood and wanted to play it again growing up, my taste in music has changed since and when I heard the Smooth Jazz genre of music on that console game, just needed to collate it so quick and because of that, fell in love with Rock Hendricks and his works (so much that to the point I'm making these Maxis-like cover arts using sims 2 models and have one particular cover art making a direct reference to him with his only solo album ahahah) the RnB stuff he did for sims 2 is also very nice, kinda wished they put more for that genre but I think this was a time where there were changes in gaming and music used too before that instance, was mainly into Japanese songs, mainly modern stuff and anime songs for a long time but about 5 years ago I took a change and completely changed over to older Japanese songs but even more dramatically the other year when I was coming back to playing sims stuff, now I listen to mainly older western music now ahahahah there were two artists that made this change for me but Rock Hendricks was one of them
