The Sims 1 had no business being as hard as it was

The Sims 1 was hard. So hard that I had no idea how I ever managed to play it as a kid when I didn't even know any of the cheats.
I tried to have a nice simple playthrough to quietly nurse my hangover but it was anything but relaxing!

"I want a nice relaxing video" proceeds to play The Sims 1

[@ryanplaysthesims]

I find the suffering so relaxing

[@teawitched]

@@ryanplaysthesims I feel the same way when there is a fire party

[@aldiofrivia]

@@ryanplaysthesimsgood to know you have a pain kink luv 😗

First time I played the Sims 1 I recreated my family, moved them into a not-very-accurate recreation of our house, only for half of them to die and one wet themselves. Strangely I don’t remember setting anything on fire, though 🤔

[@julskyandii]

Same here. My little brother got taken away but I didn't set anything on fire 😂😂😂

[@Norinia]

I remember creating twins, then just before school, one messed with fireworks, and suddenly she was immediately dead while her twin was getting on the school bus.

[@Gingerm0nster]

That burglar noise still makes me sit up and sweat a little

[@angelicpencil-jt175]

The best way to make friends in The sims 1 is to ask them about interests with which you can learn what interests they have in common and with that you can manually pick their talk topic. Also invite them to downtown and sit down together and have a 3 course meal and navigate their topic in conversation which in most cases end ups by the end of it with becoming friends(maybe some little joke or talk after the meal)and sitting them down and having a meal together will also prevent other sims from just walking away from conversation.

[@GiacomoEsparza]

More chaos in 20 minutes than in the entire collection of the Sims 4

[@sassycatenthusiast]

“There is the dead body” 😂 I pity those who skip Ryan’s intros. Also idc what anyone says, they’re the perfect amount of waffling lol.

[@koololdster]

I love how upset you are about the fish dying, but could not give a damn about the dead plants! And the ‘friend’ party vs. your usual fire party. Keep Simming, Ryan!

[@KrisFed0017]

Just after THAT sound I wanted to scream “install security alarm” 🚨 Thank you for the video! I adore your commentary, it always makes me smile ❤

[@dmckim3174]

The death of the laptop must not have been stressful enough. TS1 was such a grind. 😂

[@moisescarinhas]

4:18 for some reason this bit really got me 😭🤣 I used to have the exact same reaction

[@teenflon]

Literally crying with laughter at this video. I have never seen sims trapped in a hot tub before

[@Nonethelessersoul]

The sims 3 and 4: here are some challenges to keep the game interesting and exciting The sims 1: the challenge is to SURVIVE

[@katiedidd7825]

13:29 you set yourself up for that. 😂

[@bluefiretekken4836]

19:24 these sounds that come out of nowhere always creep me out in this game 😣😂

[@Ultima2343]

I remember this game being a drag even with the money cheat putting my family up into the millions. Fun fact: In the Sims 2, the careers pay the same amount over a seven day period in the first game, with the 2 careers paying more daily to offset the days off.

[@davemk9]

I wish I found out about your channel earlier than I did. Your content is so fun to watch and I love the fact that you play mainly Sims 2 and 3 which are one of my favorites. Sims 1 content is also entertaining, for sure. Subscribed!

[@meh9677]

0:10 thank u for your service🙏🏻 9:05 i- 9:31 I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THAT WTH

[@nicolasdiciaccio5529]

Welcome back Ryan, love to watch some Sims 1 gameplay! And for anyone wondering, I believe the magic box actually drops your room levels so leaving it there makes things worse lol

[@FMisFidomom]

The magic box from mystery man lowers environment score. delete it or fence it up to counter it. ~FM :)

[@emmagriffiths3470]

Nice to know you remembered us ryan

[@peckneck2439]

Spend all day making sure all needs are at green so your mood is at least 3 bars green to get a promotion. Car to work arrives. Step out of your home, Mood immediately drops two bars because there are some old newspapers lying around, dropping the room meter all the way to red and ruining your chances for a promotion. The Sims 1 experience in a nutshell.

[@LittlLee]

I never realized the child chemistry station was a sims 1 reskin

[@DulceReposa]

Hint: Having a computer will give you 3 choices of careers a day rather than the 1 from the newspaper

[@TheMerrysoul]

Ryan, please make a video on how to install Sims 1 and Sims 2 on Windows nowadays. Please 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@littlemiss_76]

What I remember to make friends quickly in Sims 1 is to give gifts

[@Idkanymore908]

I just want a relaxing day. Play the sims 1…

[@sebjrk]

Oh my oven is gone! I can't afford an oven! Why did I pay my bills..

[@Adeyum64]

And the new oven burning again was the cherry on top lmao

[@PensierieForme]

Please keep doing ts1 and 2, the nostalgia is hitting so hard and I love it😍

[@juliaholby8769]

Love your videos! Just the right amount of chaos 😂

[@aaagtk]

you reminded me why i didn't really play sims 1, it's a fever dream

[@LizaGrace97]

I remember playing sims 1 when i was like 8-9 and every time i tried to cook for them, they kept starting a fire and i couldn't get them to eat and they were starving and I started crying 😂

[@marlieshilgersom3569]

I found your channel this week, I love it so much! Youre like a less evil callmekevin

[@Clouditivity]

sims 1 and relaxing isn't a thing LOL

[@lilyxarlo]

“RIP to you I don’t want you back” ⚰️

[@JustSaralius]

I'm pretty sure "Admire" is a flirty interaction in this game. 😆

[@Zombie6669muffin]

Surprised you didn't get a scary phone call within the first 5 minutes still can't sleep right after that lol

[@nedrane297]

The magic box brings down your room score. You have to get rid of it to keep it up outside.

[@NoxPrincess]

Obsessed with your videos lately! I've watched about every single one over the past month or so. Keep it up!

[@threnody789]

Yayyy you’re back!! 🎉❤😊

[@vocalizingdreams]

Aww this was so nostalgic

[@fluffyfish285]

Havent played 1 in so long. Only when it first came out haha.

[@starburstconisseur]

the part w the cat was a JUMPSCARE because i too have a brown tabby cat called maggie 💀💀

[@E3R0R_]

YIPPPEEEEEEE WELCOME BACK

[@sarahthemoney]

I’m gonna request a sims 3 challenge with just the into the future robot making career

[@RosebudGamesCC]

I love Sims 1 :D doesn't have to be hard!!

[@unchartedtombraider944]

The graphics look so good on the sims 1 😊😊

[@annedemarie7480]

Sims 1 needed the mod the rejuvination chamber ( darn thats the first time i wrote that without a mistake ) it kept me sane while having my sims awake 24 hours all the time just so i could have work

[@user-ge6wyJacqueline]

its sound of the burglar

[@akvilekatrin5736]

Love your videos. Always make my day ☺️

[@sh1bas400]

2:03 SO ME

[@47shawty12]

Welcome back!

[@silverdoe9477]

I still don’t understand why you’d want children who never grow up & are sent to military school, never to return. Probably a wilderness camp.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

5:13 As a nebularomantic, and polyamorous, this describes how i am in real life xD Idek what interactions are romantic or not; if i end up in a relationship, its not my fault xD 😅

[@SevenEllen]

"Fuck the career, feed the fish" needs to be an anti-capitalist slogan for placards.

[@KhaziirEverflight]

just got this installed again myself. tho i personally applied the widescreen patch and 1440p mode with the patcher that's on github...

[@ryanplaysthesims]

It's so good being able to play it again isn't it? I used to play it at 1920x1080 but everything felt too zoomed out for recording/streaming so now I toned down the widescreen patcher to play at 1280x720. I prefer it a lot more being able to zoom in to see what my sims are up to!

[@Aboni-rw7uy]

Woooooo

[@vineousvondrake2456]

I have the Sims deluxe edition but I can't play it on my laptop I can install it but it won't open kinda wish I could at least get in there and see how bad I can mess it up without using at least the money cheat lol

[@vicky99ita]

Welcome back Ryan, where did you get the game?

[@matthewhenton3830]

How are you playing the sims 1

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

You can sail the seven seas if you use a new PC or use an old laptop and play by disc.

[@aliveslice]

3:10 4:59 5:10 9:05

[@Kekeliz]

How do u have access to the sims 1 in 2024

[@hajinka98_]

Not much to do in the game lol. Only thing that is fun is to build

[@impishrebel5969]

Sims 1 isn't hard at all, what are you talking about. Sims 4 is ridiculously easy to the point there's barely any gameplay and what there is is lackluster. Also, Sims 1 actually works.

[@xenay911]

Sorry to hear about your old laptop 🫡 ! I hope your new one will last many long joyful years 🖤

[@12369ja]

Why are you playing the Sims 1? You aren’t allowed to play the sims 1 because it is the worst game in the series
