No ones willing to spend 500+ on the original game if they broke it down into dlcs therefor itll prob sadly never happen.

As a first generation Sims 1 player: yes, it's extremely hard. Needs were on a tight time management schedule regarding decaying and that's not even considering the skills you need to improve for work and the random friendships you for some reason needed to get promotions, which was equally as difficult as the needs part.

[@victoriaann3893]

Needs are crucial in this game. I remember that cloud quest in a magic city. It was so hard, because of needs getting red really fast.

[@sabrinasugar2819]

Oh man. I remember abusing the call out system just to make it work. 😅 My sim would go to work, then call out the next day.

[@101Volts]

It's a bit sad how a lot of the fan sites went down. Some of the content was pretty wild and amazing for the time. I downloaded a Greenhouse, the Tragic Clown's "cousin" Flippy who badly performed acrobatics and fell over, a fire bomb, a Rabbit that left eggs everywhere, and a murder ray like what the Repo Man had. There was more, of course, like an elevator (more of a portal with a door, really.) There was also the toilet you could flush money down - for those who used the money cheat code too much and got bored of having everything. I still had too much even after flushing $10,000 down at a time. I'm sure there's more I've forgotten. Sites like SimSlice were great, and I wish I could get into ZincMan's site from 2000, but the Wayback Machine captures of it don't let me through the front door.

[@bruceluiz]

There are two difficulty settings in The Sims 1, and that is Family Size. Very easy -> Two Characters Hard -> One Character

@@dozzy9984 Super easy and unimaginably hard

3 characters is easiest. A pair of breadwinners and a stay-at-home socialite. More people can get _confusing._ Though you're free to expand your household. I recommend using the potion personality inversion "feature" to have perfect Sims, and have them reproduce. With Makin' Magic you can then make the kid an adult eventually, and... find another perfect Sim to add to the family. This involves either starting a second potion'd family, or inbreeding.

You need to get mods and play with 10-15 sims at once to mimick the difficulty of sims 1 in sims 4. The sims 4 are mainly annoying because the sims usually won't do what you told them to do, unlike in sims 3 where you could queue them up with task and just let them be.

[@MrPowerGamerBR]

I loved your previous series in The Sims 1, and this video is also super funny! Thanks Kevin (my beloved) :3. Here are some tips and tricks about The Sims 1 after playing it for so long: 1. To do a successful party, invite people and right after inviting you start serving meals. Even better if you place a buffet! 2. Pets can also increase your social mood. 3. If you want to invite someone over, keep calling them to invite to their house, after ~3 tries they will accept it. Talking over the phone is very hit or miss and most of the time you end up losing relationship points by doing it. 4. The scary sound that plays can be two things: - Burglar - El Bandito (A raccoon that flips your trash can) Why does a raccoon trigger that scary noise? I have no idea, but it does, and it doesn't do anything "bad" to your Sim aside of flipping the trash can, causing it to wake up. There is also a bug where a Burglar can spawn in your lot and disappear, which causes the sfx to play. 5. The Sims 1's early game is suuuper hard, so the best way to keep your motives up is by reinvesting everything that you are earning from your job to buy better items. Also skipping work every other day allows you to have more time to improve your motives/skills/etc. 6. Computers have more than one job, and the jobs in the computer are different than the job in the newspaper. 7. You forgot to buy a burglar alarm! 8. The reason your Sim has bad Room level when going outside is because pets keep pissing on the sidewalk. It is better to buy a sign that disallow pets on your lot (you can find it on the "Decorative" section, it is very cheap) to avoid your Sim not getting a promotion due to the pets being inconsiderate of your Sim, smh those pets.

@@MINECHEZ1 most videos do but they’re mostly not very good (no punctuation, sometimes they mishear words so they become confusing) as they’re auto generated. It’s nice when someone sits and writes them out because they make sense, give the right captions for the right part of the video, have punctuation, and sometimes you get jokes that people that don’t use captions don’t get! :)

[@egygizda]

@@MINECHEZ1 they have auto generated english subtitles, which aren't "manually" translated by a human, and thus can mishear and mistranslate things. it can be really annoying and hard to follow, so i personally don't use them. but since english isn't my first language, it helps A LOT to have subtitles that actually say what the person in the video is saying.

I remember having to take an interior design class one of the sports coaches taught it so very little was actually taught but the program we used the few times to actually design a house gave me total sims 1 vibes and i was just mad i still had several hours before i could go home and play the sims 3 on my computer at the time lmao

[@bbear2695]

seems really suss to have a coach teaching interior design. like, i had a coach teach drivers ed in my high school. turns out it was to come in contact with teenage girls. because he taught boys pe and coached boys football.

[@queencleopatra007]

@@bbear2695 kinda suss to think that just because a coach is teaching a class with girls in it that they must be a predator. Maybe the school just needed a teacher to fill that spot last minute and the coach was the only faculty member available. Plus, we don't even know if the coach in this story is a man or a woman.

Might not be that far off considering the Sims 1 started out as a house modelling program.

Ah, yes, I love The Sims 1. I will always remember when I created a couple of super rich Sims, aristocracy even, and built them a huge, magnificent palace (this part of the game has weirdly good items to build that sort of things). They had perfect lives, but then they decided they need an heir. They were trying their best to take care of babies, but despite numerous attempts every baby was eventually taken away by the social care before it could grow up. I could see my Sims slowly lose themselves in the sorrow and madness. Millions of thoughts had to gallop through their virtual minds. Are they cursed? How come they, the chosen ones who had every money in the world couldn't become the real family they dreamed of for so long? All this fortune, this grand property but no one to pass it on. Imprisoned by the superficial happiness of wealth, the only thing that was left for them to do was to wait for the inevitable end, for the slow decay of their existence. Just as all their property will be decayed and forgotten after their disappearance. Surrounded by the most beautiful and expensive objects, yet suffering terrible loneliness. Sometimes I still think about them and even tho I feel sorry for them I'm also grateful for the life lesson they taught me: "Even when you have everyting, you can still be miserable in life, because life in general sucks". Or someting like that. That's why I will always cherish this game, it's honest in its brutality and it knows no mercy, just like real life. Brilliant.
