An oven with no fire alarm is the one noob move we've all done in that game.

[@Lucios1995]

Yeah but after somehow extinguishing that fire all by himself, not buying an alarm then is a VERY dumb move

[@Bicornis]

Ovens were lethal in Sims 1. A friend of mine recommended reading cookbooks to level Cooking to at least 2 before even touching one.

[@Lucios1995]

@@Bicornis Yeah I remember hearing that tip too

[@Yoonji9212]

Your bills were probably inflated by the value of the decorations you stuck in the corner. Bills are based on total value of the lot.

[@VeryBlueberrry]

A better way to get to zero dollars for starting with this type of challenge is to (IIRC) build walls then delete them, also putting down wallpaper and flooring and deleting that, too. I think you’ll still get back some money but it won’t be the same amount, it’ll be less. Or putting down water and deleting that, I think that’s more expensive

[@Arthaius]

@@VeryBlueberrry - My thought was for him to just delete the objects he bought, there is no money returned for things deleted I.E. thrown into the garbage can.

[@beccaf262]

for future reference you can bring your money to zero by buying trees without increasing your bills like the statues do! LOVE the sims 1 content its still a bit hard to come by!

[@Bart230]

And that's why you buy a fire alarm, so the fireman would save you. :D

[@Supersteffy]

The "fridges" you keep buying that only had snacks are actually pantries, and they are for storing produce you can grow yourself or buy in Old Town (we're you can also buy pets)

[@artur6912]

16:08 Well, that's not a fridge, that's a pantry. At least in my language, the game made a big distinction between the two.

[@bargiona]

Buying a bookshelf to study at least 1, preferably 2 levels of cooking is a must to avoid game endings fires

[@michaelturner2806]

Oh definitely. I wouldn't get a stove until everyone in the household had at least Cooking 2. Until then, a microwave is usually safe enough.

[@daskampffredchen]

Those fridges with only snacks are intended as storage for food you grow in the garden If they are empty you only can get snacks. Their advantage is that the meals are free if you fill it up

[@younglove3362]

This is sims 1. Not sims 4.

[@daskampffredchen]

@@younglove3362 I know. And what I said is still correct.

[@plankton50]

Sims in the sims 1 can be easy to make friends with. A glitch from when they introduced interests is that all the OG sims didn't have any interest points. You just need to load all the sims households once so that they're given interests, that way when you chat with them they won't always be grouchy.

[@mroostache]

I can’t believe you just filmed my daily life and had the nerve to upload this! Expect a cease and desist soon!

[@Welshy]

4:16 it’s not bugged, there was a pet in the way

[@highwaysstar]

The car continuously honking at you is not a bug, if you don't get into your ride to work (this also applies to the school bus) it will sit there and honk until your work hours for the day have finished. Also, if you had multiple rides appearing at the same time (like a car + school bus) the first ride that arrived has to leave before any of the others are able to, so your sim's kids could miss school if the parent didn't go to work that day, and you'd hear all of the horns the entire time lol. Random good/bad phone calls are a HUGE part of nostalgia for the game, it brought a tiny bit of horror that shrank with each new iteration until it no longer exists in TS4. My favourite job of all time was the military career; when you get to level 10 your ride is a literal helicopter. Great hours, great money, easy to maintain. Btw, the microwave is way safer than the stove.

[@Arthaius]

- I always liked the one that you end up as an Astronaut. You only had to go to work one day a week

[@TheXzonnet]

The Sims was the first game that made me realize generational disconnect. My parents scolding me for my Sims using the bathroom. I had to sneak them in there if I was playing on the family computer and click away. I guess there's something to protect against perverse pixilated pooping I wasn't aware of. Who's head was in the gutter?

[@TotallyxInsane]

Oh god no, how absolutely dare your Sims use the bathroom? Definitely your parents... Myself, I knew that pink heart bed was a definitive no-no on the other hand 😅

[@IixiXOuOXixiI]

04:20 They were honking at the cat.

[@GackFinder]

And, as a typical cat, the cat didn't give a rat's ass.

[@simoneabelo]

I honestly felt that "go to work, come home, eat some pizza, and watch TV so you don't go insane" line. That was me from my educational years (minus the TV bc no time for fun when you've got assignments due daily) to about 5 or 6 years after that. After I got fired from *that* job (thanks Covid!), life improved. I can't believe Sims used to be so realistic tho. Now I just love roleplaying homeownership.

[@QueenPandora07]

That charlie the unicorn reference just took me back to the good ol days lol

[@WDLKD]

I think the reason your bills are so high is because of the statues on your lawn.

[@desawaerd]

When he said "start to cook" i remembered my first sim ever died the same way - spend those 15$ on Firealarm was the most important thing i did on every sim in the future then.

[@juliannepetty5134]

I wasn’t expecting a Charlie the unicorn 2 reference in this video, but I’m so glad it happened

[@austinclements8010]

damn, fast turnaround for a video! i was definitely expecting to wait a while

[@RareInspo]

You get bills based on your home, utility use and furnishings. Those expensive statues you got to get rid of all your money did it. Also that wasn’t a fridge, it was a pantry. You can stock it with produce that you grow using the garden plot from sims unleashed.

[@RareInspo]

Oh someone already commented this

[@Ryxbar]

I was sold on subscribing when you made a Charlie the Unicorn reference. Right on.

[@Thunk00]

Maybe I should think about quitting my job and getting into the gargoyle business...

[@CommandoTactics]

0:20 - The $73k for all sims 3 DLC is wrong. You got this from the Steam community post and this has been debunked (confirmed with your exact same number). Not a simp for sims or EA but I do hate incorrect info. Total cost for all sims 3 content is $1,925.19 - $2,595.19 - Still a lot but defo not 73k. Amazed you were not skeptical of this insanely large number.

[@Saplingbat]

99% sure the snack fridges are cupboards my dude LOL

[@Jef_Vermassen]

Ah yes, now the proper sims are coming! Yeah, sorry no matter what one does in Sims 4 it will always be a shallow experience. I did enjoy that first video as the script was really really good. That was enough Sims 4 for me though. 1, 2 and 3 I have a lot more time for. :)

[@AngryAnt0]

Typing rosebud a hundred times... alright no need to call us out like that, we had to play with cheats back when we were younger because mods were too hard to install and the DLC hadn't come out yet =D. From memory the sims 1 and 2 are very similar in most ways, I think it was just a small graphical update with a few bug fixes etc, not the huge leap like sims 3 was, so it's not surprising you took to it so easily (and getting caught on fire is a right of passage). Also please do a second vid!

[@corbanXV]

Sims 2 on the family computer 😥 damn nostalgia be hitting

[@flossimoth]

A tip: before you ever let a sim touch a stove, have them learn at least one point in the cooking skill via a bookcase. I played this game so much as a kid and I noticed that sims with at least one point in cooking started drastically fewer fires than sims with no skill in cooking. that plus a fire alarm make it much, much less likely that you'll die via fire. This trick is something that became a habit and now even in newer sims games I still have my sim learn one point in cooking before making food even if it's less relevant to fire lol

[@13garage._]

I was 9 when sims released... so I am 7 years older. you already have a family and i am still like a main hero from this video 😂😂😂😂😂

[@williamzeo2493]

Trying to cook in Sims 1 without reading first is almost guaranteed to start a fire lol.

[@seanboland4671]

When are you and AA finally gonna tie the knot to become the one and only zomboid/rimworld celebrity power couple??

[@FFVison]

Yeah, smoke detector right above the stove/oven is the way to do it. Also, there are thieves, so it may be advised to place a bit of wall at the end of the sidewalk and put burglar alarms over there too to get triggered as soon as they appear.

[@FinnThyHuman]

Predz and Frogman in BF2 could be movie worthy, the both of you making a video together let alone a serious would be amazing imo

[@Krisgtp]

This a cool series idea...doing different challenges across The Sims 1,2,3,4. I only got to play one version so this is neat!

[@KirbytPink]

[@AussieBoyLloyd]

Those flames are so nostalgic to me... even tho i was only 6 when the game came out pretty sure i only played it when i was like 10 or more after getting it in a discount bin.. and playing the crap out of it... so much so that i remember those flames more than anything hahaha...

[@MoogieSRO]

Sucks about losing your save to that crash. That's the one downside to older games, autosaves generally weren't as much of a thing back then. All in all, though, I'd say this challenge lasted just about as long as it had interesting content, so I think it ended pretty much perfectly. Can't really complain about going out in a blaze of glory! Excited to see some Sims 2 runs. A far more forgiving game, largely untouched by the downward trajectory of the rest of the series.

[@lechking941]

as far as sims 3 can be considered it was touched but saved by time. now if only i can unscrew my mod pile. comedicly its got a LONG ass load time even with my rig thats old by modern standards but top of the line for sims 3

[@AleaIactaEst2009]

You needed an oven to make food, otherwise you can only get snacks from the fridge. You should always get at least a couple of points in cooking before using it though else... fire.

[@HerHollyness]

Sometimes watching you young’uns play old games like this is kinda painful. 😂 The only way I can comfort myself is knowing that you’ve downloaded a digital version so you don’t have the chunky manuals that we used to get with these old CDs (and read cover to cover to find out everything about the game)!
