      When you put it like that, the sound a lot more similar. After all, theres plenty of sims descending into madness in Kevins video, and one could say that Spiffs sim had decended into madness at the moment of their birth. Hence why they found themselves in such a situation to begin with. No sane person would even consider the one tile life.

    I had been meaning to watch your channel for ages but it was a reminder from Kevin in a Project Zomboid video that brought me here, I've been binging ever since. The Sims is a favorite of mine as the play styles can vary so much and each is enjoyable. Your narration always mesmerizes me, it's unique and currently my go-to videos to rewatch and play in the background as I work. The Sims 1 is so unforgiving, I can't believe you made it as far as you did. I enjoy all the content but the early Sims gameplay is exciting to see.

    I remember the summer of 2002 when the island we used to frequent every summer had one of its cottages occupied by a new family. One of their kids had brought along a laptop with some games. In my eight years, I hadn't seen one of those before. _A computer - in the archipelago?_
    He then showed my siblings and me this game. I remember being awe-struck by the character creation and how we couldn't stop laughing (and marveling) at absolutely everything. Up to that point - all we knew was Macintosh point-and-click games.
    We begged our parents for a copy, and they blessed us with the Deluxe Edition that Christmas. 😢 Such good memories.

    Those beautiful piano tunes that none of us wanted to listen when we were kids, because it was "boring" and couldn't appreciate. But listen now and say "damn, one of the simplest soundtracks, even with improvised parts, yet one of the best soundtracks for a "retro" game you can find. Every song is made in a way that resembles something in construction, starts simple and ends being a complex song. Brilliant"

    Love the Sims 1 stuff! You should look into some of the weirder stuff you can do with the Makin' Magic pack. I remember throwing parties, turning people into toads, & seeing how many sims my pet dragon would eat!
    Also for every certain amount of spells cast on your lot different magic growths appear, the best one being these crystals that give your sims magical abilities (I say that cause they're like spells, but unlimited free casts) to teleport around & put out fires.
    Getting the magic-coins are a bit of a pain, but once you have a few sims with high logic or mechanical skills you can bring them to Magic town & perform on stage until they're all too upset to keep going. After that, you can buy the ingredients for the Get Happy spell & have them each go home to cast it on eachother before restarting the process.
    Not sure about a challenge, maybe start with $0, magic only? Iirc, there's a charm that gives your sims a lot of money that's made with an ingredient that costs a lot of magic coins.
