Sims 1, Family of 8 challenge nearly broke me
#CallMeKevin #Gaming #TheSims - Hry
The sheer balls of using 3x speed in an 8 sim house in the sims 1. Kevin truly is a strategic genius.
ikr? And he wonders why it's so damn hard. In these old sims games I was paused practically half the time I was playing, carefully coordinating and queueing up stuff for different family members to do to ensure as little wasted time as possible. It's a habit I still have now for modern sims if the family is over like2-3 people I NEVER play continuously in live mode, nevermind 3x. 3x is for sleep and work lol
@@lemolea9571for content tho that would be way more boring which is why he probably doesn’t do this
@@justsomeguy2743 His editor could edit it down, but I yeah, I doubt he'd play like me. He could stand to be a bit more patient and actually try the challenge tho - Yknow, like be on 1x speed and pause occasionally.
😂
I know, he kept complaining about his sims missing work. Maybe if he slowed down time he wouldn't blast through the hour that the sims are given to make it to the carpool?
Sims is a cornerstone of Kevin's channel. No matter how long, Kevin will always come back to The Sims
And we will always love it
I thought you were gonna say "no matter how long his dick is" I was like why? that came out of nowhere
@@Ar1AnX1xto be fair it does seem cut off.
Yeah, whatever happened to that community compound ran by dear leader Jim Pickens?
If kevi does not return to the Sims, then we don't return for kevi
The fact Kevin thought they wouldn't let kids die in a game of that era but doesn't realize this is the ONLY Sims game where kids died of hunger....and the screams they let out always gave me the chills
Children can die in every sims game. Sims 2 causes corruption though
He's also either forgeting about or hasn't played Fallout 1 & 2 as there was an attribute called "Childkiller" which you'd unlock after killing a few kids. Not that I've ever unlocked this mind you.
@@DBswag_the European versions of both Fallout 1&2 didn't allow you to kill the children it had to be modded back in
They can also burn to death 😅
He sounded pretty sarcastic, like "Of COURSE they wouldn't let the KIDS die..."
I love how Kevin's clear favourite was Ralph. He definitely has a type, and that type is "Old Man Does Crime."
And he loves the meth labs
Ralph being the designated main character makes sense since Kevin insists on playing as a weird old man.
Must be one of Jim Pickens many alteregos. Cause as we all know, every weird old man is the Sims (sometimes outside the Sims too) is Jim Pickens, whether they know it or not.
This checks out
he's sims version of Ralph the darkness
since cents sense sins scents cense
I love that for Kevin. It means he'll eventually age into his own type cuz he's got the weird man parts down already.
Very random challenge idea: Make a household of 4 identical sims, each of them is supposed to have their own job and relations but because they look identical you're constantly at risk of making them learn skills for each other's jobs or stealing away each other's relationships. For an extra challenge, you could only allow one of them to leave the house at a time to fool the neighbours into thinking it's just one guy multitasking 4 jobs and 4 relationships.
Pure chaos. I love it
Ah whatever happened to Monday
Lol
I love the chaos vids! This would be perfect
Yes and they all have names with one letter different
Ahhhh yes. Curled up with a blanket in front of a fire and watching Kevin destroy another family in the Sims. There's nothing like it. I hope there's a basement scene.
Based off this video, I think you might wanna be careful.
Basements were added in sims 2. You can make a two story house however
@@williamhay7705Ground floors are just basements for the attic when you think about it.
Cozy AF
@@williamhay7705no, it was in sims 3
I love how this whole playthrough feels like Kevin is some kind of life sim sports commentator
"Is anyone doing well at their job right now? Poor, poor poor, AVERAGE! That's pretty good. Go Randy!"
Lmaooo 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
My favorite thing is that one characters name is 'Nerd', yet Jessica seems like the most abnormal name in this household. Kevin is a household naming genius.
You know, somehow you’re right.
And Karen, was a Karen.
*I always thought the slogan of this game should have been: **_You think life is hard, try playing the Sims 1!_*
Cured my depression 👍
Life is still harder tbh

@@YYesImCrazYYI dunno I have chronic mental and physical health problems and I still don't know if I've ever sobbed as wildly as a Sims 1 sim with low needs.
The key to Sims 1 friendship is endless talking about interests, with some compliments sprinkled in. Also, the maid is the worst! She won’t clean dishes unless you have a dishwasher
Added on to that, Kevin didn't even have a kitchen sink. He started with no sink, no fire alarm, and ended with no sink, no oven, no fire alarm and a meth lab. Truly brilliant kitchen design.
@@manologamerss5801ain't that the dream?
Or a sink. The reason the maid wasn't washing the dishes was because all the available sinks were in the bathrooms which were constantly occupied.
Sims 1 is the most difficult to have a full household in, this was just a mess. Congrats to Dennis and Rose for getting out of there! Hopefully military school isn't as stressful as this household was, lol
The boring routine of military school probably allowed them to thrive.
Always planning out the maximum amount of actions and then getting fouled up by 2 of them walking into each other. Whole plan out the window.
Sims 1 always gave me wild expectations about real life when I was a kid. Because of this game, I thought you could build walls on property you own, and call it a house. And then add floors at a later date. Even if you already have counters and appliances set up in the "home." 😂
Edit: what I mean to say is, boy was my mind blown away when my mom told me you couldn't live in a house without proper foundation.
This game made me think you had to buy the cheapest things first, so you could fully furnish the house, then get the nice stuff later. Kid me literally thought I had to buy paper plates and then upgrade to “real” plates later. 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Thank goodness for building codes or we’d all be living like sims. 😂
27 minutes and 36 seconds of Kevin yelling ‘Jessica’ and me guiltily looking up from my phone to my TV like I’ve been chastised for something.
30 minutes of Kevin unintentionally treating his audience like a cat chewing plastic.
Sorry the fact Karen’s “evil” clone just decided to leave immediately because it was too late made me laugh 😂 she truly was the good one after all.
I live for Kevin’s sims content…especially a game as chaotic as the first (without even trying!)
None of the cheapest beds in the other sims games have ever captured the sheer discomfort that comes with those brown, lumpy sims 1 beds. They are the perfect complement to Kevin's inevitably making a sims barracks in every challenge
I am a simple woman; Kevin posts a sim video, I like the moment it’s posted without watching it all the way cuz I already know it’s going to be glorious. Balanced and simple as all should be.
Perfectly balanced one might say ☕️👌
By that definition, I too am a simple woman
Literally same 🎉😂
Especially when it comes to the sims 1. The game itself is chaos. But with Kevin? I'm getting snacks and ready for hell
Sims1 being hella quirky and Kevin's unique way of playing games is a perfect match
Only use that word ironically u dunce
Kevin, you've got to fill the neighbourhood with dummy families so that there's a bigger pool of sims that you can be friends with
SOMEHOW watching Kev playing the sims makes me feel like my life is more put together 😂
Me and you both. I can always think “at least my life isn't as bad as these sims lives.”
Kevin has shown time and time again that Sims 1 isn't a simulation game, it's a deadly game of strategy.
this!
I mean, that's part of the appeal of the Sims 1 and 2
I can only endorse any remark about how brutally hard Sims 1 is, even in normal organic gameplay without challenges.
i like how he tries to have a 8 family house then almost immediately looses 2 of them to military school
I love how all the stray cats coming through the door beads seem to become the keystone of every party
I love Kevin's sims videos. I had brain surgery recently, and I would curl up in my hospital bed and watch your videos, Kevin. They always put me at ease believe it or not.
I hope you are recovering well!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Kevin’s videos have been a great laugh for me when I’ve been in hospital as well.
Kevin's Sims will forever be my favorite. I can't wait to see how Kevin and Jim destroy the new horse ranch pack!
Kevin - *succeeds*
Also Kevin - *BURNS THE SUCCESS*
6:49 "Maybe you should think twice about opening the door." And to *that* Kevin's response is...throw a party. It's almost like he's trying to get everyone killed!
I Just wanted to Say thank you Kevin for all these years you’ve helped me get through a lot and I watch you daily again thank you for everything!
Ralph is honestly a total mood throughout this whole thing. House on fire? Go hide in the shower. Life a mess? Go watch TV. Need cash? Make meth
House party? Go to bed.
Like a moth to a flame. Kevin will never escape the Sims😂
Give them alarm clocks, that'll wake them up before work. But you still have to make sure they're not yelling at a chair instead of getting out of the house and into the car. xD
Only Kevin has the ability to make a 23 year old game still relevant and enjoyable in 2023.
disagree
sims 1 is always enjoyable tf
i can just imagine the two kids who got sent to military school coming back to find out their whole family and someone's wife died in a housefire and thinking "yep thats about right"
This family of six dysfunctional adults deserves "friends" opening song!
Hey Kevin, you look absolutely tired there. I hope it’s only the light.
Please take care of yourself. Thank you for your hard work!
Call me Kevin playing the sim is just a whole different feeling watching him play.
Kevin playing any Sims game is always pure gold 🏅🏅
I literally forgot that this game came out TWENTY-THREE FREAKIN years ago! And it aged really well considering...
The last time i did an 8 sim family, it also ended with using rugs to ignite a house-consuming fire
It's nice to see kevin's run ended the same
kevin is actually getting kinda good at sims 1, first he needed the rejuvenator just to take care of one sim, and now he's handling 6 with (some) success. ngl i'm a little impressed
You look tired, Kevin. Are you doing okay? I love your sims content. Just make sure you're giving yourself a break. Nothing but well wishes to you always
Yeah he looks like he's been through some shit
@@Aaron_HD right. Hope he's alright
It feels illegal to be this early. I've been binging Kevin's Sims series for like 3 months now every one is a banger. Kevin's level of chaos is what I aspire to.
"How do you make friends in this game?" He says after growling at the person he's trying to make friends with 😂
I love how he constantly blames the Sims for doing stupid things but he himself never actually uses the PAUSE feature to plan out their actions ahead of time
He does go a nuts a little too often with the superfast button. :D
It’s glorious!
Giving them freewill / autonomy and pressing any speed of fast forward button is a recipe for disaster
But then again, the disaster is what we are here for 😂
Six years of Sims and the chaos is still funky fresh. Truly inspiring Kevin.
It's been so long since I've seen or heard someone else use the phrase "funky fresh." I thought I was alone lmao
I admire how Kevin is able to talk(speedily) non stop as he plays without missing a beat lol
I've spent a good chunk of my day at work looking forward to watching some CMK, the instant I get home my favourite brand of Kevin chaos is uploaded. I knew today was gonna be a good day
One tip: Beautify the place so you’ll always have 1 bar full. And using pictures helps to not take up floor space. It helps their mood lol.
“look at randy go as a bungee jumping instructor. one day he’s just not gonna come back” almost choked on my food 😂
One of the few times Kevin has played the game as intended, mostly
Kevin, you look really sick... I hope you are okay and doing well. We worry about you - Thank you for still producing videos for us
I have been sick with food poisoning all day and watching Kevin's videos has really kept my mood up. It's like having a friend there to talk to you when you're down. Keep up the awesome work Kevin 🥹 me and my husband love your content ❤
Kevin: How do you make friends in this game?!
Also Kevin: *growls at random people*
I'm really happy for the new video, but at the same time I'm worried because Kevin seems more tired than usual.
Kevin, if you see this, remember to not push yourself too much.
-A fan who always forgets to comment
I wanted to say that he looks a little tired or thin, but didn't want to come off as critical or rude. But it does come from a place of care, not judgement, we just want our little irish lad to be well. I hope everything is going good for him
Hubby and I have been watching Kevin for years and love him to bits! Do what you need to take care of yourself Dear Leader!
Seconding. We love and appreciate him, and of course we're always thirsting for more, but if taking a break would help him in any way, he should know that his own wellbeing comes first. I hope he's doing well and has whatever he needs to thrive, he deserves it.
Yeah, I hope he's not sick or anything, he does look thinner. Please take care of yourself Kevin, we parasocially love you
knowing how kevin normally treats his sims characters, this will go well right?!... right
30 minutes of Kevin playing The Sims 1 with eight people this is going to be crazy
You didn’t even have time to watch the video yet yo what
The Sims 1 but the kids get shipped off to military school almost immediately
Welp you know what they say, "it's easy raising a family when the kids get shipped off to military school for poor grades and neglect." Ahhh, childhood.
a hottub is my lifehack for getting sims married. it give them social fun hygiene and comfort
i will NEVER grow tired of kevin's sims videos, even sims 4 which says a fucking lot. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH
Kevin is a family-oriented genius
"Why does the potion keep being consumed by the wrong sim?" Kevin asks, running the game at 3x speed with free will turned on.
Sims 1 plus Kevin is such a perfect combo, I'd love to see you go back and explore some of the other weird stuff in this game, like the cake dancers and Drew Carey popping up.
"i struggle to just keep my person sane and alive" -kevin talking to his therapist
Hey Kevin, thanks for the video!
I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but I hope you're doing okay health-wise.
Your face is looking a little thin and your eyes look a little tired and baggy in the video (it might just be the lighting, though).
Please take care of yourself and don't feel pressure to keep making content if you're not feeling well.
We'll all be waiting for you to come back if you need a break :)
I support this comment, I'm a bit concerned.
Kevin, I gotta say I appreciate when you add those little captions to the video. It’s really helpful as a hard of hearing viewer- tysm for your detail within ur chaotic vids.
I have not finished the video yet. I'm going to preemptively predict Nerd will do the best and I'm rooting for him!
Edit: I chose correctly.
it’s been ages since I played Sims 1 but, I think the game has an alarm clock to help you not miss work.
Those kids dodged a bullet getting sent to military school. XD
Ahh yes. The reason I found Kevin. Sims 1 & 2 😮. Forever grateful to have found such a Sims Genius years ago. I’ve been watching since zombie Vidcund & the cursed babies. 😂
I only played the Sims one growing up. So it's always a special treat when Kevin plays 😁
sims and Kevin means great content for us!
Kevin trying to stop Jessica from throwing away the newspaper has me weak 🤣
8:15 The maid needs a sink or dishwasher to clean the plates. The only sinks you have are in the bathrooms that are constantly occupied by people showering and using the toilets.
This is why you seperate the toilet into a small room, and try not to put it in the bathroom. Having the toilet in the bathroom is very inefficient. Even IRL this is more and more avoided these days in new buildings.
And this is why you need a sink in the kitchen.
Kevin really has the capabilities to take care of this family of 8
kevin takes such good care of his little virtual prisoners
Kevin, eternally not buying a $50 fire alarm
When I first got the Sims I only had the game itself and Livin' Large. Much later I bought the complete collection that had all the expansion packs. I think one of the packs (probably Hot Date) makes it MUCH harder to make friends/get them married. etc. It adds a lot more options for interactions but also makes them much more particular about who they'll befriend. Having others watch your Sim play guitar and have people get in the hot tub together increase the relationship points but neither technique works as well after the additional expansion packs.
I know it's a relatively old game but i'd like to see Kevin playing Miss Fortune choosing the worst options, just like he did on the quarry. It'd fun!
Miss Fortune as a character is so adorable, i'd love to see Kevin go hog wild getting the worst possible outcomes lol
He did one episode of it, I think, but didn't complete the game (or at least didn't upload videos of the end)
Imagine a world in which all households have a personal deity that presides over them and their home and will just mouth off at their charges; that world is the Sims.
well, there's 8 sims and 5 beds. off to a wonderful start lmao
Hey! There's this sims 2 game on the old DS , where you become the owner of a strangervile hotel, the whole story is wack, the only good way to make money is by gambling, there's alien invasions, a cow cult, the king of mole people, the mafia who probably killed the 1st Mayer and you become 'rat'man
Is this just me, or does Kevin look really, REALLY thin in the intro? Are you alright, Kevin?
I'd applaud any house I could afford too 😂
How many times have you watch this?
Me: yes.
Sometimes i just play it in the background when i’m drawing just to hear the jokes again 😂
I love how Jessica is all "I know, I'll go to sleep. And sleep through me burning to death!"
Proceeds to wake up on fire. Screams.
this ended so poetically. once again thank you kevin for your chaotic sims videos that bring everyone peace!
Kevin; * doesnt buy a sink*
Also Kevin: * confused about the dirty dishes and bugs*
I thought that, but then I wondered why the Sims weren't washing the plates in the bathroom sink.
@@SevenEllenbecause the one bathroom that contained the one sink in the house was constantly occupied by people showering or using the toilet. If there's someone using the bathroom, Sims do not enter or get shood out.
When I have played games similar; irony is when you have a Family of that size, have one becomes the maid, and one becomes the cook, and the other members of the house either go to school or go to work. Also, the one that is the cook can also double as the maid. This will save you money.
I cant wait to see what Kevin does with the upcoming horse pack
To Kevin: You have been an inspiration to me, and I’m just now realizing it. You taught me through your videos that being awkward is nothing to shame yourself about, and that you can always use it to your advantage. So thank you
i love when he had no sink and wondered why dishes were piling up
This gives me flashbacks to my old Sims 1 game, when I thought it would be funny to have a "Manykids" family of two parents and six kids. They were perpetually broke, they fought constantly over the one bathroom, and the group meals were always a couple people short of feeding everyone. Every meal was a race to eat a can of beans or go hungry.
Kevin and goals are funny because we all now he is gonna get sidetracked 😂
Your longform Sims content is always super fun, especially with the older games! Not that I don't love Jim Pickens, our Dear Leader.
I have played The Sims games since it came out over 20 years ago when I was in middle school. It took me a bit of playing with just one Sim, then moved to one of the other households with like 3-4 people. It got to a point I could do 8 people households, with or without pets, on 3 speed. By the time Sims 2 and Sims 3 came out, 8 member households on 3 speed flowed naturally (though, I do use the free will setting, which is very helpful, until they start doing dumb crap and I have to fix it LOL). I have tried Sims 4 but I really don't like it, so I only play Sims 3. I commend you for jumping right in to an 8 member household when 1 Sim is a challenge for you. My husband will not touch my Sims 3. He said he could never keep his Sim alive for a day in Sims 1 that he gave up on Sims all together hahaha.
having children in an 8 sim challenge is actually great because they're way better at making friends than the adults
Kevin, the greatest person to take care a family of 8.
