TIP: buy the small aquarium (Poseidon's Adventure Aquarium), and watch it as many times at once as you can. It's just a short animation everytime, so you don't have to wait much, and it will boost the FUN level, like nobody's business! Quick and silent. :D
I remember saying all the things James is saying.."Flush the damn toilet," "children are disgusting," "why is that so bloody expensive" my mom used to overhear me and laugh!
Married with two kids but won't sleep in the same bed.. God I miss TS1 logic haha. Also, kids make a mess when they use showers you need to get them a tub to prevent mess.
yeah i remember in 2015 playing the sims on on PC for the first (base game only as well) and when i play the Goth's not only did Bella and Mortimer not want to sleep in the same bed (well Bella did but for some reason Morty didn't) byt Morty also didn't even want to kiss her! and they were both 80% relationship!
André B really? I'm one of those people who don't really care for animals in the sims, I mean they're fun and all, but it's not my first expansion. I just want new gameplay, I feel like animals get boring after a while
hahaah funny you say that cuz I never really cared about university on the sims. I usually play it to avoid doing university work, so I don't want to be reminded of what i should be actually doing (cries in bad grades). To which their own I guess, hopefully both expansions will come in the future.
Called it. I knew he'd complain that the Sims don't flush the toilet. You didn't put enough points in neatness for them to do it by themselves, it's the Sims 1 equivalent of the slob trait.
Even though we have sims 2-4, I miss playing 1 so much! I had so much fun, even the expansion packs were great. Makin magic was my favourite! If I had a computer and the knowledge to make the game run, I'd play this like a shot.
so i started to fall asleep watching this but every now and again James chimes in with a "haven't you people ever heard of flashing the goddamn toilet? " no, its much better to face these kinds of thing with a sense of poise and rationality.
This is why this game still holds up to this day. It's not so much about simulation anymore, but much about turn-based strategy. I mostly play it on pause and third speed. If you want challenge, which I find severe lack in later games where I just get bored after playing more than 5 minutes, Sims 1 and 2 still provide you with that "planning ahead phase" challenge.
you should put down a wall between the shower and the toilet/sink so they're in separate rooms; then sims can still use the toilet while someone's in the shower
Oh god "the sting" at 6:53 .. was it the raccoon or did it just glitch so that a burglar came and instantly left, or something else? Dem bad traumas from that sound ; ~;
i think it's a glitch because same thing happen to other youtuber i was watching and it was really odd... and scared the shit out of me! oh that sound sure is creepy at night
I always look back on this game with so much nostalgia, but then I play it and I miss sims 4 again. It's just so hard to keep all your sims alive, children out of care and the sad clown away. X
James, I think I might be the only person in the world willing to see a The Sims 2 for Playstation 2 gameplay, like unlocking all the stuff and vacation lots, all that jazz. I've been wanting to see that again, 'cause I have so many good memories from TS2 PS2. It was the very first game I've ever played. I don't have high hopes that you'll be actually bothered to play that, but oh well, I thought I'd ask. Thanks, man!
no you are not, oh man i fucken love that game like oh my god Sims 2 for PS2 is so fucken bomb yes me want LP now data can not taaaaaaaaaaaaake how great it would be fore james to play da sims 2 on PS2!!! oh and my fave pre-made sim is in that game, have a guess (hint: the sim is female)
could you please resize the house? specially the kitchen and living room.. and that entrance area.. i dont think its usable.. you can save money from removing those too. what do you think james?
what I mean is he could resize the house to make it a little bit smaller since the house looks empty and he's needing money so maybe if he could make the house smaller he can get money from it and save it for future use..
This reminds me of much of my childhood, the music while creating really reminded me of all the houses I used to build! I might have to redownload sims 1 lol x
Man, it's so weird that we all use to think that The Sims (1) was amazing back in the day but looking back at it from now, the game quality is really crappy and now we have The Sims 4 and it looks real nice and maybe in the future we'll think that The Sims 4 was crappy as well.
Oh wow I think he actually read my comment on the last one "You can use a spell from making magic to make a child grow up into an adult :)" my heart stopped for a second
Oh man nostalgia. I used to spend hours and hours every day from morning to night playing the sims1. I still have all my games every single expansion pack but they are all in storage. I think I'm gonna see if my computer will work with them and play the game again. I want to play the sims 2 again also
There was a purpose of chasing better items but also the fun of earning money to buy all the wacky items and see what they do like Servo, djin lamp. You had to earn money to check how the villas look like because there was no lot previews.
Thank you for this series! I loved Sims 1 and kept playing it despite Sims 2 being long released... then started playing Sims 2 and only just skipped to Sims 4 lol! Makin' Magic was my FAVE.
I love how he casually ignores the roaches, but freaks out when they don't flush the toilet. Also, fun was not a good need to tend to. The need another bathroom. The tv was fine.
If I am correct, Win10 recently had a update that basically broke old disc-based games. Not sure of all the ways to fix it. Personally I use a virtual machine that runs WindowsXP to play Sims1 now.
As someone who can't get anything below the sims 3 to work on their computer, this new series is amazing; I've been checking youtube everyday this week for the next one :D. I miss playing this and the sims 2 :( I'm so glad you've managed to get it working on your pc :)
I hope sims 5 is a combination of the sims 2 and 3 gameplay and the sims 4 graphics. I mean because the sims 4 seems a little unfinished and the packs get boring after like an hour
. . .and to think I used to play this game almost religiously. . . You're right, how the hell anyone found time to build up skills and/or relationships given how fast their needs decay is utterly nuts. I don't doubt it's stressful! *pats* Welp, do the best you can, and we'll be cheering you on all the way. And laughing at your occasional failures. XD
Wow,its so weird to see how basic sims was.I was really young when this came out so I only remember a little bit of it before Sims 2 came out and I started playing that
I only saw that right now!!! (Thanks CZcams) but I just wanted to say, James, it's 12 am, I'm sick and I have a test tomorrow and I can't sleep. I feel horrible and you are the only one that can cheer me up. Thank you.
When I was younger I had The Sims 1 base game only no expansions and I spent hours playing it day after day. Recently I couldn't remember what I did all that time cus the base game is pretty barren but now I remember it was just a frustrating juggling act.
I can't remember if I ever played the Sims, I know I played the Sims 2, but some of the objects in this game look familiar, so maybe. this is very fun to watch. :)
I'm a new sub, I love your videos. I didn't remember just how much work sims 1 was. I don't know if it's just me though, but this looked difficult lol. But maybe it's because it's 4 sims.
Why does Nigel look like Edward Cullen in a Hawaii shirt? 😂😂 P.S. Loving the series. Brings me back to the good ole' days. I was like 5 years old and my neighbor would do most of the controls and I would tell her what to do. We loved it. Please keep the series going!
You need to water the plants or else they will die. Try and make a separate toilet somewhere that they don't interrupt each other's shower time. I just put a wall and door around the toilet and they seem happy with more privacy. It will make morning routines easier. At least until you have more bathrooms.
TIP: buy the small aquarium (Poseidon's Adventure Aquarium), and watch it as many times at once as you can. It's just a short animation everytime, so you don't have to wait much, and it will boost the FUN level, like nobody's business! Quick and silent. :D
I remember saying all the things James is saying.."Flush the damn toilet," "children are disgusting," "why is that so bloody expensive" my mom used to overhear me and laugh!
Actually, this sounds like stuff my mom used to say.
So glad they added the Auto Flush Upgrade in TS2.
it does autoflush on more expencive toilets, I never made them flush anyway.
I love TS1's background music :D so nostalgic...
Jess Kidding He had just gone into build mode and I was having the same thought just as I read this comment. :)
Married with two kids but won't sleep in the same bed.. God I miss TS1 logic haha. Also, kids make a mess when they use showers you need to get them a tub to prevent mess.
yeah i remember in 2015 playing the sims on on PC for the first (base game only as well) and when i play the Goth's not only did Bella and Mortimer not want to sleep in the same bed (well Bella did but for some reason Morty didn't) byt Morty also didn't even want to kiss her! and they were both 80% relationship!
Man... Looking at TS1 compared to TS4 we've come a long way.
Nicky I know right
Nicky Graphics for sureeeeee, what do you think they'll do next. I want a new expansion. preferably university, or something that will change gameplay
I want animalzszszsz or natureyeyeyeyey
André B really? I'm one of those people who don't really care for animals in the sims, I mean they're fun and all, but it's not my first expansion. I just want new gameplay, I feel like animals get boring after a while
hahaah funny you say that cuz I never really cared about university on the sims. I usually play it to avoid doing university work, so I don't want to be reminded of what i should be actually doing (cries in bad grades). To which their own I guess, hopefully both expansions will come in the future.
This level of frantic-micromanaging James is reminiscent of the early Seven Toddler Challenge...
Called it. I knew he'd complain that the Sims don't flush the toilet. You didn't put enough points in neatness for them to do it by themselves, it's the Sims 1 equivalent of the slob trait.
Lol exactly XD
I love how he casually ignores the roaches, but freaks out when they don't flush the toilet.
Also how he always has them flush it _then_ use it, rather than the other way around which would completely avoid the problem
Even though we have sims 2-4, I miss playing 1 so much! I had so much fun, even the expansion packs were great. Makin magic was my favourite! If I had a computer and the knowledge to make the game run, I'd play this like a shot.
Epitaph reads "They wouldn't flush the bloody toilet!" lol Love this series
When you were making the family you didn't give them many points in the cleanliness department, so they are all pretty messy Sims.
so i started to fall asleep watching this but every now and again James chimes in with a "haven't you people ever heard of flashing the goddamn toilet? " no, its much better to face these kinds of thing with a sense of poise and rationality.
nice
This is why this game still holds up to this day. It's not so much about simulation anymore, but much about turn-based strategy. I mostly play it on pause and third speed. If you want challenge, which I find severe lack in later games where I just get bored after playing more than 5 minutes, Sims 1 and 2 still provide you with that "planning ahead phase" challenge.
Yasss. This. Lol. :).
you should put down a wall between the shower and the toilet/sink so they're in separate rooms; then sims can still use the toilet while someone's in the shower
Oh god "the sting" at 6:53 .. was it the raccoon or did it just glitch so that a burglar came and instantly left, or something else? Dem bad traumas from that sound ; ~;
The Nightfish Dont know, but that sound kills me.
The music bit there was I think roaches spawning. They're not easy to see from the farthest out zoom though.
i think it's a glitch because same thing happen to other youtuber i was watching and it was really odd... and scared the shit out of me! oh that sound sure is creepy at night
It might have been a burglar as they spawn at night but the whole family was up so he couldn't enter. But wouldn't the alarm have gone off?
That sound was always terrifying to me when i was a kid and i totally dreaded it haha
I always look back on this game with so much nostalgia, but then I play it and I miss sims 4 again. It's just so hard to keep all your sims alive, children out of care and the sad clown away. X
Just don't buy the painting if you don't want the Tragic Clown to crop up. And if he does show up, either call the clown police or burn the painting
I always used those black and white kitchen tiles haha, as a kid I was like THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!
When the animals were in front of the bus and it was just stuck there all day honking, I laughed so hard lol
James, I think I might be the only person in the world willing to see a The Sims 2 for Playstation 2 gameplay, like unlocking all the stuff and vacation lots, all that jazz. I've been wanting to see that again, 'cause I have so many good memories from TS2 PS2. It was the very first game I've ever played. I don't have high hopes that you'll be actually bothered to play that, but oh well, I thought I'd ask. Thanks, man!
Omggggg or Sims Bustin' Out, or the Urbz would be so amazing.
zera0820 Yeeees, thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one who loves those games! I hope James plays some of them, at least once ❤😂
Raquel Brante Yas gurl, me too!!!
I used to play those games too! They were great! So was the Sims 1 ps2
no you are not, oh man i fucken love that game like oh my god Sims 2 for PS2 is so fucken bomb yes me want LP now data can not taaaaaaaaaaaaake how great it would be fore james to play da sims 2 on PS2!!! oh and my fave pre-made sim is in that game, have a guess (hint: the sim is female)
could you please resize the house? specially the kitchen and living room.. and that entrance area.. i dont think its usable.. you can save money from removing those too. what do you think james?
Nikka Nicole Ontoria The money is too expensive to remake that house also he don't used cheat in this game.
what I mean is he could resize the house to make it a little bit smaller since the house looks empty and he's needing money so maybe if he could make the house smaller he can get money from it and save it for future use..
If I'm right, removing walls will cost money, so it's too expensive
really? hmm.. so its different in other sims? its weird. its been ages since i played this game and i dont remember much hoe this game works..
Hmm maybe not hahaha, I don't remember it quite well either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ money never bothered me then, since I always use the money cheat as a kid
this quickly became a "watch James get increasingly madder at his sims" series
The old build music!
This reminds me of much of my childhood, the music while creating really reminded me of all the houses I used to build! I might have to redownload sims 1 lol x
"Don't make spooky sounds game!" Those noises used to give me heart palpitations haha
This should be called "Sims 1-Part 2: Flush the damn toilet."
I will never forgive EA for using the font Comic Sans.
oh almost forgot my favorite "what the hell does that sound mean?" ahh I love the reminiscing!!!
The graphics hurt my eyes but the commentary lifts my soul....
Man, it's so weird that we all use to think that The Sims (1) was amazing back in the day but looking back at it from now, the game quality is really crappy and now we have The Sims 4 and it looks real nice and maybe in the future we'll think that The Sims 4 was crappy as well.
Keysha Lodia we'll probably have sims virtual reality or something in the future 😂
Keysha Lodia I'm still like the Sims 1 quality. I am also wanted the remake version of it.
Yeah, but The Sims 1 is way more revolutionary than Sims 4. Idk, I guess I see it in brighter way than you hahahah
I love all the sims games ❤
In my opinion Sims 4 is crappy, but to each his own...
Your commentary is absolutely hilarious. I haven't laughed that much in a long time.
Oh wow I think he actually read my comment on the last one "You can use a spell from making magic to make a child grow up into an adult :)" my heart stopped for a second
Hoosiergemstar Good job fellow Hoosier! MM was one of my favorite XPs, baby dragons! Watching this makes me want to play.
A family that studies together stays together! :) Sims 1...ahh memories!
Oh man nostalgia. I used to spend hours and hours every day from morning to night playing the sims1. I still have all my games every single expansion pack but they are all in storage. I think I'm gonna see if my computer will work with them and play the game again. I want to play the sims 2 again also
Sims 1 was always more of a chore than fun
Which made getting the good items soooo much more useful
There was a purpose of chasing better items but also the fun of earning money to buy all the wacky items and see what they do like Servo, djin lamp. You had to earn money to check how the villas look like because there was no lot previews.
Sims 1 was, and still is, my favourite game, honestly
Omg this brings back soooooo many memories.... and the music as well when you go to build mode.
IM LAUGHING OUT LOUD THE ENTIRE TIME.
The frustration over the unflushed toilets cracks me up! 😂😂😂 It's such a chore just to keep them alive, ah the memories 😅👌🏾
Thank you for this series! I loved Sims 1 and kept playing it despite Sims 2 being long released... then started playing Sims 2 and only just skipped to Sims 4 lol! Makin' Magic was my FAVE.
I love how he casually ignores the roaches, but freaks out when they don't flush the toilet. Also, fun was not a good need to tend to. The need another bathroom. The tv was fine.
loving this playthrough so far, hope you do more. makes me feel so nostalgic and frustrated lol
I'm CRYING at the pets blocking the bus.
You should make a video explaining how you're able to play Sims 1. I'm trying to get it to work on Windows 10 and it won't load.
Brittany Sibole I have the same problem!
Brittany Sibole me to
Tall Girl haha I'm glad I'm not the only one!! It's driving me crazy.
I have the sims4 on my uncles gaming laptop and it has windows 10 and I had the sheet with the code and it took 2 days to get it solved😂😂😂
If I am correct, Win10 recently had a update that basically broke old disc-based games. Not sure of all the ways to fix it. Personally I use a virtual machine that runs WindowsXP to play Sims1 now.
"Flush the damn toilet" 😂😂😂😂
Why is it that him getting mad at them for not flushing the toilet so freaking hilarious?!?! It doesn't get old!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The music in sims 1 is so good, such a nostalgic feeling.
15:15 I regularly come back to this and laugh just as hard every time. Total chaos! Love it 😄 ”WHAT IS GOING OOOON?!”
😂😂😂
I am liiiiving for this series. I miss The Sims 1 so much! I have a Mac so sadly I can't play anymore...
This series is EVERYTHING..!!!
I swear this guy sounds like Fabaliki.
Falchion Of Eternity They are twins.
Manuel Paiva
Are you being serious or just joking?
Are you joking? Because if you don't know, it's the same guy XD
youppiorange
I seriously didn't know. I was just guessing because the guy's voice is way too recognizable to me.
Falchion Of Eternity well now you know! :D
As someone who can't get anything below the sims 3 to work on their computer, this new series is amazing; I've been checking youtube everyday this week for the next one :D. I miss playing this and the sims 2 :( I'm so glad you've managed to get it working on your pc :)
I laughed out loud when the school bus couldn't move because of all the random pets in the road! This Let's Play is hilarious!
James, I don't know if it's really your gig but I would love to see you play The Sims: Life Stories/ Pet Stories/ Castaway
Yea!! I loved Castaway :O! I would always get stuck though...
I hope sims 5 is a combination of the sims 2 and 3 gameplay and the sims 4 graphics. I mean because the sims 4 seems a little unfinished and the packs get boring after like an hour
You can get money from selling the cockroaches btw. I don't remember if you have to use the move_objects cheat though
I think you do
6:54 ah, the traumatic sound of childhood
Yah!!! Love the old time videos!!! Brings back memories for sure!!
that music that plays when something bad happens used to give me nightmares as a kid XD
Shoutout to the Sims 1 build music, best there ever was
Personally I've always loved the sims 2 the most but let's be honest it is a great game
James from 2017 was so energetic i almost had a heart attacc
I love the music from the sims 1...and the textures of somethings are so detail...Oh you can get your Sims drunk in this game too. Just get a bar....
I had so much fun watching you, James! Keep doing you, my friend
The only things I like about TS1 are the music, the nostalgia and the isometric view.
This is my favorite series
the best part of the whole video was laughing my butt off every time James kept mentioning how the sims never flushed the damn toilet lol
. . .and to think I used to play this game almost religiously. . . You're right, how the hell anyone found time to build up skills and/or relationships given how fast their needs decay is utterly nuts. I don't doubt it's stressful! *pats* Welp, do the best you can, and we'll be cheering you on all the way. And laughing at your occasional failures. XD
Omg this brings a lot of memories ! this video got me think that there is no big difference between ts1 / ts2 and ts4
Ps: i like your accent
Wow,its so weird to see how basic sims was.I was really young when this came out so I only remember a little bit of it before Sims 2 came out and I started playing that
I only saw that right now!!! (Thanks CZcams) but I just wanted to say, James, it's 12 am, I'm sick and I have a test tomorrow and I can't sleep. I feel horrible and you are the only one that can cheer me up. Thank you.
Legend says the bus is still honking at animals to this day
Watching you play Sims 1 makes me want to play even though I've never played it and I don't even own the game.
Try count how many times James says to: ‘flush the damn toilet!’
Please play some Urbz: Sims In the city It was my absolute favorite game on the GBA
this is so nostalgic!!! I'm loving it 😂😂 and thinking about checking out eBay for a copy bc I've lost mine over the years 😂😂
My 11-year-old former self is loving this LP so much
omg the carpet at the beginning looks like sick after you've had some pasta
I love how challenging the old sims games were. New ones are too easy!
That school bus just honking and honking 😂
drinking game: take s sip every time james says: "flush the damn toilet!"
That build mode music!
When I was younger I had The Sims 1 base game only no expansions and I spent hours playing it day after day. Recently I couldn't remember what I did all that time cus the base game is pretty barren but now I remember it was just a frustrating juggling act.
God that build mode music gets me everytime
That creepy sound in the beginning of the video was the bane of my early sims existence. It scared the crap out of 7 year old me
Love these sims 1 videos ! :)
Jesus Christ @ the flushing the toilet thing. I laughed so much and so hard.
You should buy the toilet that flushes itself.
You need to get a hot tub, it raises comfort and builds relationships so quick
I can't remember if I ever played the Sims, I know I played the Sims 2, but some of the objects in this game look familiar, so maybe. this is very fun to watch. :)
I'm a new sub, I love your videos. I didn't remember just how much work sims 1 was. I don't know if it's just me though, but this looked difficult lol. But maybe it's because it's 4 sims.
Why does Nigel look like Edward Cullen in a Hawaii shirt? 😂😂 P.S. Loving the series. Brings me back to the good ole' days. I was like 5 years old and my neighbor would do most of the controls and I would tell her what to do. We loved it. Please keep the series going!
flushing the toilet... ain't nobody got time for that!
I totally forgot about the whistling, now it's stuck in my head again
I love this, James!
lmao the bus has to beep so many times, i still hear that in my nightmares
"Flush the damn toilet!" - James Turner, 2017
I remember playing sims 1 for years when I was younger and it took me so long to realise that sims 1 lots could have stairs and a second storey xD
"Guuueeeezzzz that's fun"
My favourite game to play was the sims "urbs", god ps2 was my jam
Oh my god this is just stressing me out watching LOL. I loved it back in the day, but Sims has gotten progressively easier to manage a family!
The best music!
Most common phrase:
"Flush the damn toilet!”
You need to water the plants or else they will die. Try and make a separate toilet somewhere that they don't interrupt each other's shower time. I just put a wall and door around the toilet and they seem happy with more privacy. It will make morning routines easier. At least until you have more bathrooms.
