The Sims 1 is the hardest game ever
#CallMeKevin #Funny #Gaming - Hry
Youâre never in a good mood, your plants die, you have no friends, and your only joy in life is drinking and vibrating in bed? This game is way too realistic.
Oh the truth of this
There's a reason it's called a life simulator đ
And a meal is $20.
So true
đšđ°
EA really should rerelease The Sims 1 on origin like they did with various older and way more unpopular games, with a resolution fix patch to allow us to play it easily on modern computers!
Yes! This was a pain to get working lol
No ones willing to spend 500+ on the original game if they broke it down into dlcs therefor itll prob sadly never happen. I could see them making it a digital bonus for a unfished flagship console game that they remove from your accountbafter taking away support 5 years later though so theres hope.
If you find a copy(legal or otherwise), just boot it in an old copy of windows using a virtual machine. It's what I did when I got Morowind and it worked pretty well
Imagine if they re-made the game too, like, good better graphics and customisation, but with all the original game-features.
Like, after they re-release the original one, of course.
They took away the sims 2 after giving it awayâŠfor free, we donât even have the option to buy itđ€
"I'm drinking potion after potion and I'm still not having any fun " Kevin describes alcoholism perfectly.
Aint doing it rite then lol
@@T.Maximus that's generally why it's called "alcoholism" and not "a night out on the town" lol
@@sidoniegabrielle269 lmao best reply you could make
Literally read this as he was saying it lol
Just describes the average Irish person perfectly
My parents were having a yard sale one time, we were almost about to tear it down and this couple walks up and starts looking at our junk. And as the woman was looking around, the man sat down next to my dad's tools and stuff that wasn't for sale, and this man picks up a bottle of Gatorade with a mysterious thick gray fluid in it and is aBOUT TO OPEN IT TO TAKE A SIP *THEN* ASKS IF HE CAN HAVE THIS DRINK AND MY MOM SAYS NO ITS PAINT
So strangers really do just come into your house and drink mystery liquids
At least they asked permission first. Instead of just drinking it. Would have found out the hard way it was paint... lol
Genuinely surprised he stopped to ask if he could drink it. It honestly would be more realistic if he just poisoned himself with grey paint XD
why was there paint in a Gatorade bottle to begin with
Did you lure him into the bathroom and then remove the door?
one time we had family staying at our house for a while, and at some point i bought some laundry detergent (very dark purple liquid) and the container started leaking.
for some reason i decided to store all the remaining detergent in gatorade bottles, i had informed my mom since she and i are pretty much the only ppl who do laundry. i literally had to stop my cousin from drinking out of one because it looked JUST LIKE GATORADE.
I think this is why everyone's memories of The Sims 1 are just setting things on fire, using the money cheat and causing mayhem because actually playing the game is REALLY hard and often frustrating, I remember trying to have a roleplay Simpsons family going but then Marge ran off with another man
Flanders or Disco Stu?
As she should! (Let's be honest.)
My brother had a household of "Jim" and "his lover, Jim" (yes, from American Beauty) and also the mod appearance of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars, who were also a lesbian couple in the same house.
All I remember from Sims 1 is the first family I tried to play, with like 5 Sims, and the maid stealing the alarm clock out of the bedroom because I didn't have money to pay her.
good for her
As she should đ
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.
not to mention the friendships lasted maybe half a day bc you had to talk to them all the time to keep the friendship alive
Well who you know is almost always more important than your skills so they werenât too far off.
Everytime I was going out to buy an animal, even when trying to speedrun it, I came back home with all my needs dangerously in red.
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.
Oh man. I remember abusing the call out system just to make it work. đ My sim would go to work, then call out the next day. On the days they called out, I would have them top off their needs and either upgrade skills or make friends.
I canât tell you how many times I accidentally called out twice in a row and got fired. đ
Keeping a family in sims 1 was near impossible. I remember losing children like most people lose their car keys.
Mannnn you ainât never lied lmao
It's fully possible, you just have to nail it good. There's not much space for error, though.
Lol social worker taking them away or they get sent off to boot camp to never be seen again xD
@@twiggylynn656 ... Those are two of the four more negative ends. The others are 3: A sim "leaves for good" after a comical smoke cloud fight (they don't even go to the "Choose a Family" screen, they're gone from the game forever) or 4: a sim dies.
@@101Volts lol oh yeah, I forgot about the fight one
The maid cleaning the toilet in the background while a marriage ceremony is happening is really what this game is all about. Nice to see it being played the right way.
Fun fact: the maid is actually more efficient than Servo the Robot Butler. You have to switch Servo on every morning, he tries to be a chef but he's awful at it, and the maid just shows up automagically.
@@JoshSweetvale Don't have the Skeleton Maid show up while the Maid is present, or she'll say something then run off.
âAnd if we donât, *Iâm killing every single Sim in the neighbourhood*â
As if you wouldnât do that *without* the challenge-
killing the entire neighborhood is easier than playing the game "properly"
Feckin fair if I ask me
Literally said that to the screen the moment he finished the sentence.
If you played the game and DIDN'T depopulate the neighborhood at some point, you Simmed wrong.

I remember having parties on Sims 1 and putting rugs all over the house with a lot of fire places it was demonic but fun
My fav was setting off the biggest fireworks in the biggest room in the house. Such a lovely fiery inferno it created.
Don't forget the wooden chess sets and decorative hay bales.
@@StonerWaifu haha I miss playing that game Iight have to download it again
I done this to make a large graveyard at a house I built.
"hey Michael, why did you buy 256 rugs to throw a party?"
"..."
*"AHHH FIRE RUN FORE YOUR LIFE!!"*
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and there's still a man hiding in my walls."
Profound yet relatable. Kevin is a poetic genius.
Thats a bit of a stretch, but i immediately thought about Silent Hill 4, where there was literally a corpse of the villain behind a wall of the main characters flat
I thought was a reference to Candlemass
@@joaobellisthnel Or Bowie. đ
@@joaobellisthnel It could've been, I mean, dying in solitude is a pretty common thing for a sim
@@DoTheDishesOrElse.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
24:08 Fun fact: that menacing sound is what plays when a burglar or racoon shows up. However, there was a common bug where the racoon shows up but leaves immediately (so it looks like nothing happened).
20 yrs later for me you come here and nonchalantly clear up this mistery for me.
I'm happy to know that was a bug and not me going insane as a child đ
And that other noise whilw he was in bed was the cockroach noise lol
4:25
That ks in fact a fact and a fun one
Couldnât stop laughing throughout this entire video. May we see more of the sims 1?
@Joshua Roehl Fuck off with the spam. If you have talent you don't need to trick people into viewing your 'work'.
Yes please!
It was hilarious watching a game mess with Kevin for once.
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.
sims 1 was the only game to accurately simulate how hard life is
Except the part where everyone has starting out money
"Don't come in, I'm using the kitchen toilet!"
I was so immersed that it took me several seconds to realize why that didn't sound normal.
This game is just perfect in every way. From the subtle 90s era dark blue game menu and interface all the way to the bright red Comic Sans saying ÂŽPAUSEDÂŽ when entering build/mode. God I played the shit out of this game when I was a kid and IÂŽve always had fond memories of it.
The sims was active during the year 2000-2003.
@@sofakingdom3076 And? It's still very 90's looking lol.
â@@sofakingdom3076 Things didn't stop being 90s looking the second the clock struck midnight in 1999
There are two difficulty settings in The Sims 1, and that is Family Size.
Very easy -> Two Characters
Hard -> One Character
What about 8 characters? Or even better - 1 adult and 7 kids?
@@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.
@@JoshSweetvalestay at home socialite đ
I canât
Well done
The ending had me in stitches đ married to an old woman with two cats, a meth lab, and an evil clone love triangle. God the Sims 1 was interesting
At least she was rich đ
It was a glorious and fun mess with the fan-made content back in the day, too. From cheaply made reskins, to some great items that could change gameplay a bit. I had a greenhouse, a fire bomb, an easter bunny that left eggs all over the lot, the tragic clown's "cousin" Flippy who would do all sorts of bad acrobatics and fall all over the place, and I remember there being a weather machine that left snow. Some of these were from "SimSlice."
Where does "had me in stitches" expression comes from ?
Sims 2 is all that plus aliens
@@MrLachapell Apparently Shakespeare, like pretty much any expression!
I legit laughed out loud after the reveal of why the car was honking
You love to see it.đ
Hot tubs are OP in The Sims 1. You can increase fun, comfort, social, and hygiene all at the same time. There's a heart-shaped one in one of the expansions that you can woohoo in as well. I always bought the vibrating bed and one of those unless I was playing a suicide house where sims would set themselves on fire by launching fireworks inside small rooms that looked kind of like Jim Pickens' slaves' rooms. I'd like to think that all of this prepared me for adulthood...
Itâs how you know this game was developed by a bunch of 90s dads, they thought the cure for all was a hot tub.
â@katherinekennedy2871 wait it's not??
@@nathanielpitts2788 oh no⊠this is so awkward. Didnât your parents ever tell you? đŹ
Also, Stings not real.
I first played The Sims 1 when I was like 7. I'm 23 now, and I still have flashbacks to how brutal that game was.
No kidding!
same lmao
Same đ
they actually did have sickness in this game! they had the guinea pig disease, montezuma's revenge, and the mystery illness (possibly a bug rather than a purposeful disease). nervous breakdowns in the Superstar expansion also counted!
also its very funny that Mama came to your lot. shes actually elden's (the sim trapped in the bathroom) mother
She was looking for her son đą
And the cars actually stopped for people and animals on the road, while in the rest of the games they just drive right through them! đ
Sheâs eldens wife
I remember getting that heart bed in sims one and being so confused why they had to get naked to âvibrateâ in bed. I thought it was like a fancy massaging bed đ€Ł
I- I just found that out why just now with your comment. Omg đ
wait, its not??
Lol they were having adult fun time in that bed (I'm not gonna type it out)
I mean, a fancy massage bed is definitely one way to put it-
@@localheaddealer1382 why the hell wouldnt you type it out my dude your username is "local head dealer"
Playing this as a child I never imagined it would seem like an accurate representation of my life. "It's been two days, I've just been slowly trying to get him into a good mood ... and he is still nowhere near ready for work."
The Sims 1: My Depression Life.
The Sims 1 really is a depression simulator. 95% of your playtime is spent crying and your relationships all fall apart until you have no friends left because you spend all your free time trying to get yourself together.
Tbh the egg chair had me invested as a child too đđ
I saw baby spice in 1 in a picture so seeing 1 in the Sims got me excited
For me it was neon colored balloon-like chairs
My guy always had to have the train set
I went from Sims 1 straight to Sims 4 and was surprised at how easy Sims 4 was.
Sims 1 was super engaging and difficult. You couldn't leave your Sims alone for too long
Free will on and they start a fire, free will off and they don't feed themselves. Lose loose situation
In 4, they do stupid random stuff if you leave them alone but it usually isn't lethal.
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.
@@veronikahermanova3473 exactly đđœ
@@mschallable that's right đđœ
God I miss that "you're doing something wrong" trumpet Sims 1 had. My brother and I loved it so much we adopted it into real life and started mouth-trumpeting every time we heard/saw something awkward or wrong. I need that modded into every game I play.
14:10 "Eventually Jim got tired of partying, and decided he'd just vibrate for a while" He might not be partying, but he's still vibing đł
I got the sims 1 when I was a kid. When I played it I somehow set my character on fire and I got so scared I turned off the WHOLE COMPUTER and never played it or any other sims game ever again. This memory has haunted me for years and finally I got the chance to bring it into the daylight. Thank you for reading.
May you become stronger after sharing this with us, friend
You should play sims again, itâs super different lol
I played the Sims as a kid too. I threw a party, and my game glitched or something because the people didn't leave, even after I ended the party. One of the -guests- squatters ended up dying and seeing them turn into a gravestone terrified me.
I stopped playing for a long time, and was scared the Grim Reaper was coming for me
Oh, so we were all terrified by the Sims 1 at some point? My Sims kept dying because it was so hard to take care of them and that burglar music scared me so much that I ended up having nightmares and my mom literally forbid me from playing it. That burglar music is still kind of creepy to this day, not gonna lie. I am so glad it's not a thing in the newer Sims games. đđđđđđđ
Yep, my very first Sim ever burned herself to death trying to cook her very first meal, and then her roommate was SO depressed I couldn't make him go to work for so long he got fired! And then the bills happened.. It's a wonder I even got into the series after that much of a downer intro--but even back in 2000, this wonderful new thing called "Google" existed, and I could type "how to cook in the sims without setting the stove on fire" and TADA! (Literally) life-saving advice!
*Sees sim in a gladiator outfit cooking meth*
Yep, this is definitely a CallMeKevin video
As a kid, I was always super freaked out by the menacing music that would play whenever some sort of disaster was happening. This video was great exposure therapy. It doesnât even phase me anymore. Thanks, Kevin!
I love that that they chose horror movie music for a raccoon and a missed work day. I love feeling like my life is in danger over trash animals and laziness
No idea how I played this with no issue whatsoever as a kid, I re-downloaded it recently and jesus christ I don't remember it being this hard!
Right? I had whole families and tons of money and i dont think I even knew how to cheat back in the day. I played when it launched so i was young young.
Maybe cause computers now run way faster than when Sims 1 was new? I heard something like that
You probably didnât realize you were doing horribly at the time lol
Because shit is really easy these days with lots of hand holding, once you get past the Sims 1 difficulty curb, it's a lot of fun. If you can beat this you can ace the others. This one is still my fav of the Sims games
â@sean236
Or it's because the Sims 1 was the only one of it's kind and so we had nothing else to compare it to in terms of quality, but as the franchise went on we got Quality of Life changes and game difficulty balances that made it better...which we then don't have when we go back. Let's not act like the first game is a perfect masterpiece and it all went downhill from there.
Love how Kevin was annoyed at the car horn until he realised they were honking at a dog đ
Kevin, thank you so much for adding english subtitles to some of your videos! It means a lot. đ I hope you're doing well.
I will be trying to do it for all of them (including this one soon), glad to help!
This might seem like an odd question but as a blind person Iâve never really bothered with subtitles
Donât all CZcams videos have the option for subtitles automatically. Iâve seen the option for subtitles on every video.
@@MINECHEZ1 nope
@@MINECHEZ1 most videos do but theyâre mostly not very good (no punctuation, sometimes they mishear words so they become confusing) as theyâre auto generated. Itâs 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 donât use captions donât get! :)
@@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.
Back when I played this game 10,000 years ago (I am old) I found that the easiest way to keep the social bar up was to buy my sim a cat or dog. Making and keeping friends was the hardest thing to do in this game.
"Eventually Jim got tired at partying and decided he'd just vibrate for a while"
Savage HAHAHA
I remember getting my baby stolen by a robber when I first tried this game đ
I didn't know this was even possible. The sims, errbody!
I believe thatâs called CPS
@@phoebedarker I heard lately that since baby in Sims 1 is an object robber can steal it hahah
It sounded like you were playing the game and in real life a burglar came to your house and stole your real baby lol
That's wild! I didn't know that could happen! đ
That "I don't want to be spooked" moment reminds me of a "nightmare" I had.
It was normal at first, but started getting progressively creepier, and at some point I just said in my dream "yeah, not feeling like dealing with this" and immediately woke up.
That's gonna be ingrained in my memories forever.
My solution to that was leaving a reverse totem out of dream-duplo on the stairs, to reassure myself the dream was over.
It worked. Came back to the same dream. My first ever lucid dream had me face off against vampire mom and her hammer horror party guests with Samus Aran power armor. There's yer core memory. I was, like, 8.
the sims 1 is the most realistic for sure lol life is chaotic and getting a boyfriend is really that hard
Abd the potions in the sims are more effective than alcohol irl
Kevin is the only EA Game Changer in my heart because heâs the one man who can actually make the Sims feel consistently fresh. (I know heâs not actually but tbh itâs a CRIME)
I agree! He always has a fresh idea to add to the games.
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.
I watched a video recently and it turned out a single piece of dog poo hidden on the lot was what was dragging the room bar down
Pro tip: In the personality option, make yourself the worst person ever, and then drink a personality reversing potion to become the best person in the universe!
Oh you mean alcohol
or bleech
Why would you not just make yourself good in the first place đ
@@jaken6462 limited points
the sims 1 gave us the heart bed, the egg chair, and the spiral stairs. what a time to be alive
It was so much fun watching you play Sims 1. My daughter and I used to play this together for hours when she was a child. If you let the mysterious package age for 24 hours, you get $100. It helps when you are struggling at the beginning. So many great memories with this game. Thanks for bringing them back!
Kevin's really displaying his gaming skill with this challenge!
Sims 1 is sooo hard...why I only ever built things, including flying houses.

âI have less time than money.â Is my all time new favorite Kevin quote.
So relatable.....lol

"I didn't get him in a good mood for work, but he won't die"
Well that's super relatable.
When Kevin says "if I don't manage to do that I'm killing every sim in the neighbourhood" he means business :)
i was too young for Sims 1, so i always watched my older brother play. that egg chair was seriously the coolest thing i had ever seen at the time
I wanted it IRL but my parents didn't get it for me (duh) so i got it for my sims always
Sims 1 was so brutally hard. I love when the Sims talk back to you lmao "nu uh"
11:00 a sim veteran's tip. If you create your sim with 0 in all personality traits, you can use this potion to max all of them.
First time I've played this game I've spend almost an hour making our family just to see them burn to death in first five minutes of gameplay.
That's kinda dark
You gotta have all adults earn 2 cooking points or they WILL burn down the houseđ€ŁAlso- you have to put a smoke detector in the kitchen just in case so the fire department gets there instantly đđ
Yup. Sounds about right. đ„Žđ„Žđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Right but that's actually a good thing. Move a new family in to the house and they will be haunted at night by the ghosts of the former residents. Ahh that takes me back...
âIf I want a good mood Iâll have to do it with chemicals.â
Ah yes. The millennial dream of anxiety and depression meds to function in society.

LMAO @ "what's with the menacing music?!?!" Sooo accurate like The Sims stayed having me scared asl for no reason.
20:51 "Ah Uh?"
That was the first time hearing back sass from my sim. I put him in a pool with no ladder's right after đ€Ł sure taught him a lesson!
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
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.
@@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.
@@bbear2695 okay like 70% of the teachers were also the coach of a random team but this was one of the regular football coaches and they just didnt have anyone to actually teach it, for all i know he minorâd in ID.

No lie, with all the faffery that's been going on with Sims 4 lately, I went back to playing Sims 1 the last few weeks, having a great time. Recommend playing without cheats, too, it's a fun challenge.
(And I moved my sim into the very same house, omagerddd)
Yea I heard the Sims 4 devs have come under fire for bugs. Can someone fill me in on that?
@@BentleyS6336 the latest pack came w a bunch of bugs in the game sims auto aging, romance between family members, toddlers and pets stretching, features of hsy not even working, like a bunch of immersion breaking bugs basically
but the patch that was promised came out and like all but 2 of the fixes addressed the game scenarios and not the other pressing issues players have been reporting/complaining about
this has brought up just general anger/frustration in the sims community bc there are much older bugs going back to get to work, dine out, etc. that still haven't been addressed so as you can imagine simmers are really fed up rn bc depending on your game and how many bugs you experience the game is unplayable
@@adieuadele ^^^ Exactly this.
I quit without saving when my sim family had their toddler taken away because of the bug where the needs drain really quick. Hopefully they have fixed this (not getting my hopes up), but it deterred me from even bothering to play when the game is so borked.
Been playing the Sims Superstar recently. Man, it's not easy to make your sim a star, which makes it a lot more realistic than the Sims 4: Get Famous.

Ahhh Sims 1! It's like returning to your childhood home. So nostalgic. I could just sit and listen to the build music for hours on repeat but people might think I'm weird when I tell them what I'm listening to.
Embrace it. Life's too short not to do what you want because you're worried about what others might think. The world would be an awfully boring place if there weren't "weird" people. The nice kind of weird, anyway.
You talk about that being weird I sometimes throw on the Sims music for all the games to sleep to or just to listen as it's that damn good hahaha
I love the build music. I pulled the mp3s out and listened while doing homework back in the day.
There's a TV show (Impractical Jokers) that uses Sims music as background music. You're not weird at all
The Sims 1 soundtrack is genuinely very well composed music.

Oh nooo you edited the comment. Here's a heart to replace the lost one â€
I was 8 when Sims 1 came out and it was the only version I ever played. I remember being freaked out by the music when the burglar was approaching my house. This tune sends shivers down my spine to this day.
The only potion I remember is I think the yellow potion(?) where it would mirror your personality traits. I only remember this as well because I would make a sim with absolutely 0 points in everything, make the potion, and then have the greatest sim you've ever known.
Genius
I love Cher. I want her to be added to the Sims 4 family so she can meet Turg
Ahhh yes.. Kevin and Sims 1. This is exactly what I needed. Iâm home sick for 2 weeks now.. damn Corona.
Iâm sick tooooo
You will be okay.
Yes, the game where cooking a meal is like stepping through a mine field.
Yeah with the Sims 1 the first things you buy are a phone, smoke alarm and a burglar alarm, of course a fridge and all that stuff to like you have already. Eventually a maid as well, then you can focus more on your skills and social stuff this game just has a particular rhythm and once you get it it's not so bad.
I still remember writing the biographies for my first Sims. Would probably have counted as a thesis if we could have a PHD in Simology. đ
The nostalgiaaaaa. The old musics from the first sims will always have a place more special in my heart than the recent one. I should put them in sims 4 to be able to listen to them while playing.
"Oh no what is that?"
"Why are they showing up, I'm busy crying in the bathroom."
Well that's relatable đ hilarious video as always Kevin!
"Why is this household cats only?"
Because she drowned in Pickens family pool, Kevin.
I forgot about the egg chair! That shit was my dream chair back in the day. Also setting off fireworks indoors was just *chef's kiss*
I remember going to my cousins house when I was younger and she had the sims 1 on PC. I had never even played it before, nevermind owned my own game of it. I visited her house a lot after that day- for the company of course đđ
My current best friend did that to me as I had the Sims 2đ
Omg, are we the same person?! I literally got to know Sims 1 because of my cousin :D
I remember only playing it once at her house though, we were making a mess through that entire playthrough xD
I like that I can always count on Kevin trapping someone in the walls. The consistency is comforting.
"I just finished work, and I have to go again??" Real
Kevin I know you get this all the time but I still want to say you're my absolute favorite CZcamsr. Your videos have made me laugh during my darkest times and kept me afloat. You're so funny and I'm happy you're finally starting to get the recognition you deserve. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and never stop being you.
I feel the same, I'm really happy the fate has led me to this channel
I thought he was getting recognition for a long time already.. Did I miss something? xD
@@Metzli its not enough until the entire universe is subbed and has joined the cult fr
@@Metzli Well, not to the degree of Jacksepticeye or Markiplier is what I meant.
8:35 don't be complaining your life could be worse
*flashback to pim jickens burning alive
Jim Pickens' personality being reversed would basically turn him into Fred Rogers: Saintly and friends with everyone.
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.
Goddamn dude

I think Jim is crying for help to escape the game.
3:05 the sims 1 predicted modern home gym equipment.
There's one game that's infinitely harder, and that's the sims bustin' out's story mode. On top of all the other issues in sims 1 you also have to maintain a dozen swiftly decreasing friendships to even complete the game. Most infuriating game I ever played
That was 28 minutes of sheer delight. God I love the Sims.
The screams of sims while they wave at you really bring back memories.
I love that Sims 1 is getting some shine âš My gramma got this game for me summer 2000 and I used to spend HOURS playing.
I was laughing the whole video but also cringing đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Kev is playing the game so WRONG. You start with basic everything and upgrade as you go. I do agree that itâs harder to make friends in this game than in real life. 2 is my favorite but 1 is a close second!
Oh wow. I almost never see Sims 1 stuff! They don't really sell it anywhere either do they? But as always, watching Kevin suffer via Sims is always a delight.
Also it's almost impossible to play on modern computers, you have to go through several work arounds and most people aren't willing to go through all that for a shitty, difficult game. Sims 2 and 3 are vastly better and easier to get to play nowadays
@@kristyw89bruh "shitty"? this game is iconic
@@user-xq6cn3xx3e Yeah, but only because it was a prototype of the much better Sims 2. It's essentially like Assassin's Creed 1 - a game that's so flawed it isn't really enjoyable to play, but introduced interesting concepts that eventually got turned into a more mature and better game.
It's not piracy if the game is impossible to find :)
@@kristyw89 I loved Sims 2. I always felt Sims 3 wasn't an improvement, it was just different.
Day 290 of asking Kevin to play Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey
Dang Iâm only on day 39 of asking him to play a game
give up, free yourself
@@JOSHfReDeRiCkS1911 never give up you are the best of all of us
@@TheRexThatIsApproaching itâs a game heâs played before but Iâm asking him to play in on the Wii
@@JOSHfReDeRiCkS1911 then why are you asking him to play it if he has already played it? U feckin feck
14:27 >Weird creepy music plays
"It's too late."
15:44 "We gotta cook, Jesse. We gotta cook!" Alternative video title: Gladiator Jim Pickens in The Sims 1, but he's actually Walter White â
Hey, found your wife yet?
Iâm so happy youâre doing another sims 1 playthrough đ your sims 1 and 2 plays are hilarious and I always go back and rewatch
I found The Sims 1 at a local retro game store, and spend 20 minutes getting electrocuted by the TV
Thanks Kevin
I mean, thats what you get for messing with tvs in random retro game store
Yeah I really need to quit doing that
21:59 i laughed at this sound for way too long
Every time Kevin says the sims 1 was hard, I think to myself whatever no it wasnât. Then I remember that I basically just always cheated their needs⊠đ and I feel bad
"and if i don't succeed I'm going to murder every single sim in the neighbourhood "
way to spoil the ending, kevin
"and now he's playing with the dog, in MY pee while I shower"
I had to pause the video so I could have more time to laugh at that
Well, I remember being a kid of 6/7years crying fĂŒr these games but I was regularly absolutely terrified by the soundaffects. I was so scared of the Goth Household with its Graveyard and random ghosts spooking around with these sounds. Almost cried because I couldn't figure out what was going on.
