Back to the Sims 1- feels nice to be back. Big thanks to nice guy CallMeKevin for getting me in the mood to come back here and give this one another spin. He's been doing these Sims challenges since before you were born!
~Hope you enjoy XOXO AA
First
4 years isn't a very long time to be doing sims challenges for
I'll forgive you.
Kevin brought me to you and I couldn't be more grateful.
Kalu Kaly have a frabjust day!
Or how ever you spell it in Latin!
That should be outro catchphrase.
Just spit balling…
P.s “Stay Ambiguous!” Is a little campy but could also work.
Excellent, I get to watch someone else suffer for once
Kevin best girl
Ah the joys of mutual suffering
OMGEEEEEEEE!!!!!
YOU HEREEEEE???????????????????? 😮😮😮😮😮
I'm here because you have not posted a video yet
Seeing as you joined to watch suffering you should beat Minecraft but your Mario from mario 64

You know a game is from a past era when you START your adult life as a homeowner. I sure do miss the heady optimism of those days.
:'D
I would never be where I am now if the Sims hadn't taught me how to take hour-long bathroom breaks and live in 90 square feet of unpainted drywall that smells of any undone chores from the last four hours
90 square feet! Your rent must be insane.
Imagine in Sims 5 if you start off so poor you have to move into another household as a roommate first 😂 and then as you earn more money the cost of goods and services and foods etc increases so you actually never get ahead. Now *that* would be a life simulator
Sims don't live in big city centres where everything is unaffordable and don't start life with college debt. They aren't that stupid, so they can afford the basics.
I have yet to see any CZcamsr revisit The Sims 1 and not fail. This is the closest to success I've seen yet, simply because no one dies in a fire at any point.
I can think of one Sims 1 related fail, but that was because a simmer made a video that was basically a tutorial on how to illegally download the Sims 1, so her channel got suspended/deleted.
Other than that, it’s usually content gold.
ETA: Sorry, misread your comment. The game is unbearably difficult, so many fires, still comedy gold
They certainly came close once, but damn did they manage to pull out of that nosedive.
Sims 1 has some peculiar mechanics. I did the 0 simoleon start on an empty lot and ended up with 100K simoleons and a fancy ”villa”. It’s just meticulous grinding and living in the ugliest, grey, square shaped hut 99% of the game.
I didn't even know there was a way to "beat" the sims 1? Maybe in storymode but in freeplay mode isn't it literally just like a real life SIMulation game? play however you want as long as you don't starve or burn to death because i think in the original game your character doesn't age so you can't die from old age.
Call Me Kevin did!
I like how there was a dog in the beginning and you never see it ever again after the mid way point in the video. He was so wrapped up in getting promoted he forgot all about his one true best friend
He probably never fed it, so it died. Though I wonder why we never saw a skeleton.
@@anon_y_mousse can pets die in the sims 1? in newer ones they just get taken away don't they?

The reason Sims 1 was so hard was because it didn't have any days of the week. Every single day was a work/school day, so you didn't have a weekend to use to catch your breath and socialize. No calling out of work, either. I remember as a kid hating that if I wanted my Sim family to have a family outing at a community lot, I had to take the grades/work performance hit of skipping a day.
will wright constructed the truest vision of a capitalist dream which any rational human being would view as a circle of hell
Exactly where our billionaire overlords want us.
Oml... Now that I think of it this is exactly why after I got frustrated by the harsh grind I just resorted to start my game with the Tutorial couple every now and then just to feel like I accomplished something; by bypassing the normal game runtime in the Tutorial stages by ignoring the steps and making the couple loop some days leveling up their skills and social needs lol... And when they got tired (this was when they already got a job while still in Tutorial mode) I just let them sleep the looping day off until they're well again, and let them go to work in normal hours, then repeat the looping madness again until every skill was maxed out, and only then I let the Tutorial finish and the couple could immediately live as the elites right out of Tutorial... Not to mention the cheat codes I often used... I was the complete opposite of my sister who did the grind very earnestly lol.
There’s a calendar mod that fixes this! Haven’t tried it out but I learnt about it recently from a CZcams vid about useful mods for the sims 1

@@XankekI can confirm he (or someone living with him) is in the military. In one video he opened his freezer and there was a US Navy 8-point Guacamole cover! Lmao this is totally his life story 🤣
It took me a long time to realize that trying to do everything with the first generation of sims is setting the difficulty really high. so much of the sims and real life relies on inherited wealth - i bet the friends thing would be way easier with inherited family friends
Sims don't die of old age and children don't age past childhood in Sims 1. The game is just difficult.
Its even worse in the sims 2 where they age and die of old age
@@clydedoris5002 the paintings used to sell for very low prices. It was still a struggle back then. I tried.
just like real life. anybody who says they "pulled themselves up from their bootstraps" to get in an upper-middle class neighborhood, is someone too privileged and stupid to realize all the inherited resources they got and absolutely did not earn. spoiled brats hahaha.
@@silverbeach1557 theres a spell a kid can use to age up to an adult, theres also one that allows you to transform a pet into an adult sim too
A man slowly succumbs to the terrifying monotony of the modern “life” stuck in an endless cycle of working and sleeping until finally he makes a mistake, he doesn’t even know what it was. But it was enough to ruin his life.
"I made my goal to get as happy as possible" See this is why I love videogames. You can set these outrageous goals that would never be possible in real life!
Nothing worth doing was ever achieved without at least some toil, sweat and pain, even achieving lasting happiness in life.
It wasn't even possible in game!
As a man in the military myself I'm surprised that you can't just order people to be your friend.
I love how accurate it is. Go SF, run fast, climb up Sarmaje's ass = promote ahead of peers. Who knew the OG Sims would simulate Army life so well.

@@watts3995 No, sir. Just a disgruntled linguist who shoulda just gone Air Force.
Of all the dated, late-90s/early-00s things the original Sims has to offer, nothing quite brings me back in time like that monochrome bedding set covered in (presumably) Japanese Kanji characters.
The fish tank really gets me. It was my favorite item when I played as a kid. If I could afford one it was a sign to me that I finally made it.
Bruh I had no dlc, my bed was dookie brown.

I like it when they walk one by one into your bedroom to say goodnight while you sleep.

That has got to be the most detailed and accurate humvee that I've ever seen for a game released in 2000. Even has the rivets, the engine snorkel, and hood latch visible modeled.
I don't think I've ever seen this level of detail on other games in the same era honestly
Any era*
Sims 1 mixed 3D graphics with 2D sprites. That's how it manages to look so janky yet so detailed in other things. IIRC only the animated things are really 3D rendered in realtime (mostly the characters).
I absolutely love that AA and Kevin are friends now. They would have such a blast playing together!

stay amphibian made me laugh way harder than it should've
My uncle retired from the air force as a major. From what I can tell, it's actually beneficial to have NO friends as you get higher in rank. He may have actually been successful in getting that into a negative number.
The requirement to maintain friendships through adulthood unfortunately hits hard - you honestly did a better job than I have so far!
The ending really hit me in the feels, sometimes even the most talented people circumstantially find themselves without options. Just remember that, as bad as it has gotten, so to can your situation improve drastically in the other direction.
I'd just liks to add to what you said.
Most people can be okay even if they endure a financial catastrophe so long as they adjust their living standards and expectations at least temporarily.
Even a homeless broke person can do unskilled temp jobs and just like take taxis, bicycle or walk to and from work.
Most temp jobs are honestly not that hard.
(Countless poor people in South America literally just have to walk to and from work everyday, no joke.)
If you go to a temp job and it's a temp job from hell, remember that if you arrived there on time and sober but the job is dangerous and you either have to leave or risk your life (I'm talking like ridiculously dangerous here) remember that in many places the temp job site or temp agency still legally needs to pay you for 4 hours.
You can use a homeless shelter, a post office or get the help of several charities to get a " personal address" for the temp agencies sign up sheets.
Many will lend you the stuff you need to do the jobs like loose fitting steel toed rubber boots, a safety vest and/or a hard hat you need to do most temp jobs.
At many if not most temp agencies it's always possible to get work even if you don't have a cellphone to accept temp jobs the nest day. Just show up early each morning to the temp agency and take whatever job is offered.
Even if someone cannot wash themselves, it's always possible to just use wet wipes to clean your armpits and "where the sun don't shine" as well as just wear a different pair of clothes each day so that it limits the stench. Also many temp job people smell terrible, so you will not stand out too bad even if you stink so long as it's just a "too much sweat" type of stink and not a "rotting melons" type of stink.
Like push comes to shove you can buy a new $10 3 pack of shirts and a new $10 to $20 pair of wal mart jeans every week if need be.
Then you could get a job at like a warehouse by regularly temping for them or use the temp agency as a job resume reference to get a low paid job at like Mickey D's or Wally's World.
Many temp agencies will let you just pick up your daily and/or weekly cheque at the temp agency each week. No need to mail it out.
Also this does not include the option of crashing with a friend for a short period of time until you find an apartment or basement suite to rent.
My main point of all this was that so long as someone is mentally and physically healthy enough, they can work their way back up even from what seems like a bottomless pit.
@@SurprisinglyDeep "My main point of all this was that so long as someone is mentally and physically healthy enough, they can work their way back up even from what seems like a bottomless pit."
So, it's impossible to pull it off due to the overwhelming circumstances naturally taking a toll on their mental and physical health, gotcha.
@@CoralCopperHead Nothing that's physically doable is impossible. Also when someone hits rock bottom the only 2 things to do are either to die or climb back up.
Should governments help poor people more? Yes. Is it very hard to climb back up from the bottom? Yes. Are some people literally incapable of working? Yes? Is it impossible for most people? No.
The main issue facing developed countries is that it's very hard to go from working class to middle class or to stay middle class, not that's it impossible for most people to go from homeless to working class.
If someone lives a bare bones existence for a few years like they just spend the minimum necessary on food, do not eat out, make their only entertainment the free books and films from the public library, just have like jogging and/or bicycling as a hobby, make their only phone a flip phone that uses minutes card, just use the wifi at the public library and a cheap old laptop for internet use, use a bicycle and/or the bus instead of a car (or only drive when necessary if biking or bussing is not possible), only buy new clothes when necessary, etc then after years of savings its possible to save up money even if someone's not paid well so long as someone can get a full time job or is at least able to work enough hours 5 days a week.
(While part-time only jobs are indeed trash, there are thankfully many employers out there who NEED full time workers even if the workers have few if any special skills.)
Countless people across this planet in poor countries like Mexico, India and Bangladesh as well as in America itself literally need to walk hours to and from work each day. They do and have done so successfully for decades to care for themselves and their family members.
Many illegal immigrants from Mexico and South America living and working in Long Beach California buy themselves $100 bicycles from Walmart to bicycle to and from a park each day so that they can accept under the table work from shady employers.
Bicycling.com How Low-Income Cyclists Go Unnoticed
Both TV Tropes and Wikipedia have articles entitled Rags to Riches. (TV Tropes has the real life section at the bottom.) If some person can go from dirt poor to rich then many people are capable of going from dirt poor back to middle class.
There is so much temp work in big communities and most of it is so simple and easy to do that if God forbid someone lost their job one night that the next morning they could walk into a temp agency and get a temp job so long as they had a $10 hardhat, a $20 safety vest and a pair of like $70 steel-toed safety shoes from walmart. They could then get temp work for each work day until they found a replacement job.
Most people who hire out temp workers from the temp agencies are grateful to have temp workers there at their job sites to do the work that needs doing since it means their full time workers don't need to spend time or manpower doing it.
Most of the time temp work is incredibly simple work that's not too physically demanding.
I know the stuff I said above about temp work is true from personal experience. I temped full time for a year. Before that I worked 5 years in a car parts warehouse where like 2/3rds of the staff was full-time temps. (I was a full-time temp myself there my first year.) Also I used someone from a temp agency as a job reference to later get employed at a full-time job somewhere else.
While I'd say I'm fairly liberal in terms of politics those experiences changed my previously bleeding heart liberal views somewhat.
(I'd said I'm more politically moderate or so called radical centrist then anything, although I know full well political views are like butts and everyone's got one.)
Those 2 experiences made me realise that while some people literally cannot work or need help before they can work, many others literally just don't want to work even if that means always being homeless or poor.
Also I realised many people don't know WTF "working your way up", "having a plan" and "reaching different steps on a multi-step plan" are and/or just couldn't be bothered to do simple temp work for short periods of time. Like temps jobs are just one part of a plan, they don't have to be forever.
I worked temp jobs with loads of literal ex-cons recently released from prison, drug addicts, ex-drug addicts, old men and women over the age of 50, teenagers, ESL immigrants, homeless people, low functioning special needs people, teenagers, Native Americans who just moved to the big city from the rez, etc at different temp jobs. They all worked each day and got paid each day. They all did temping part-time or full-time for a living.
Also even if someone loses everything they own so long as they can eventually save up enough money to get an apartment or basement suite (maybe alongside a roommate) then they can start their life over again. Even if they move into an empty apartment at first they can eventually furnish it over time.
What really makes sims 1 so tricky is the fact that you dont have any weekends, so there is barely any time to make friends. Specially if you have a job with night work hours.
And then you decide to take a day off to catch up with almost friends. They won't come to your house, because they are at work...
I just resubscribed!!! I had been a subscriber way back when you did all your sims videos as they were sooo hilarious. I had just been diagnosed with cancer and not much could make me laugh, but man, did your videos see me through some very hard times. Maybe weird to your regular subscribers but I'm in my 50's. My kids got me hooked on sims due to being bedridden and they knew that as an artis, how much I LOVE interior decorating and designing houses so they showed me how to play and oh, sooo much fun! Then, sadly (tragic for me, actually), my laptop died. I've never had a means of replacing it. It really sucks. Anyways, using my phone and going on youtube, I found you, callmekevin, and a couple other creators who made funny sims videos and I watch them all the time. I was so disappointed when you stopped making yours!! So, just to let you know, you've made me so happy!! (I know it seems like such a little thing, mabey, to most people, but for me, who can't do alot, it really does make me happy. ). THANK YOU!! Crystal
This is really wholesome. I hope you’re doing okay now Crystal!
You should look into law of assumption! You'll get better 🙌🏻🙌🏻
There's a way to play the game using a newer computer.
If you got a new laptop or desktop computer you could use a free virtual emulator computer program like VMWare or Virtual Box to run an older version of Windows (or any operating system) on your Window 10/11/whatever version computer as though it's a computer program running on your modern computer as a "virtual box", then run the Sims 1 computer prgram INSIDE OF that virtual box.
Edit: Originally wrote older computer by mistake.
best of luck to you in your recovery Crystal
This was such a sweet and wholesome comment!! I hope you are doing well! Thanks for putting a smile on my face! 😊
Fun fact: The idea of the sims came after Will Wright had a house fire, and thus needed to refurniture a new place. It was originally intended as a comedic criticism of American consumerism, however it became a big succes.
Monopoly had the same original moral, just about real estate tycoons instead of consumerism.
The house fire inspiration thing is true. The comedic criticism part is not. That was unintended.
"It required... the purchase of expensive unnecessary furniture to cure my depression"
I can relate lmfao
I dont know why but I always like it most when you end your videos simply with "Until next time, my friends"
Feels good.
LOVE these two bouncing inspiration back and forth at one another… kevin’s done so many fun zomboid videos inspired by AA and the second i heard the premise here i knew that some inspiration had bounced back. excellent

My childhood was Sims 1. This is so nostalgic!!
Ah yes, the Sims 1, where if you want to ever take a day off... Be self employed.
Which is the opposite of real life in which if you are self-employed you don't get paid if you don't work but if you are employed you can take vacation a few days every year and have your employer continue to pay you, so I would say that you have to choose between freedom and uncertainty or survival and working for the benefit of your superiors when you consider what you will do in life.
As a kid when I played Sims 1 and 2, I usually didn't make houses. I'd just put everything my Sim needed on an empty lot and played.
🤣
I don't build bathrooms if it's any consolation. I just put a shower and toilet in the bedroom because I'm bad a building lol
Making houses is half the point of the entire game lol what’s wrong with you 😂
*This game still has so much soul.*

My sister played sims on my computer. Later, she was confused as to where all the mothers/wives from her happy families had gone. She didn't realize at first that I had made the Forresters, a group of men. Men who now had wives.
Ah, the good old days if the sims 1 where you could just...remarry someone and overwrite your old marriage.
My first family was very creatively named Man and...probably Girl. I can't remember the lady's name. But they were married, until my sister downloaded mods and made an Ice Queen lady, also creatively named Ice Queen. Well Ice Queen and Man got married, and Man abandoned his wife and child to become....Man Queen
oh my god
Haha nice
It is always a joyous pleasure and experience when the amphibian of ambiguity graces us with his presence.
Ah yes back when maxis released sims without dlc paywalls
The Sims 1 had a ton of expansion packs as well, but this was during the time you could not download large game patches
The fact you called out a landline makes me feel old. When I played the Sims, way back when in the youth I can only vaguely remember, I used to think a landline was a sign that I'd made it. I'd have phone lines, dial up internet, and in turn a lot of cash.
Needless to say, I still hold land lines to a certain degree, but I'm more aware of what classifies as "made it" in this modern day and age.
The Sims was for some reason a really hard game to play. The juggling act of friends, work hours, meals, happiness is truly challenging and rather cynical. My first and last sim was supposed to be my alternate virtual persona and the guy went mad because of his insane work hours, lack of friends and daily routine, not even a nicely decorated house and a dog could make him happy enough. It was a sorry situation.
I always love when things get meditative, and like a modern day Diogenes, Amphibian shouts into the open market his wise proclamations born from his experience. His experience of having five friends and falling asleep in a piss puddle when he has a gold-encrusted toilet.
7:59 I always had the feeling that the friendship system in the Sims was partially responsible for my social anxiety.
As someone who also suffers from that, I wanted to add that one factor (out of many) is that we likely evolved the trait of excessive worrying in social situations, because exile in our past meant death. It's not really the case anymore. This is also true for paranoia, like being terrified there is a tiger in the bush whenever you hear something. 99% of the time it's nothing, but the person who wasn't being paranoid is now dead and thus these traits live on, vestigial but powerful.
My secret was incredibly efficient home layouts with minimal tile movement. No time to spare in the sims. Also, having a spouse makes things easier as you can max the one character while the other works then flip. They are also family friends not personal afaik.
One trick to family friends was marrying a townie, gave you 50. To be used tactically of course.
Oh man, Military Track in Sims 1 was where it was at.
Could get more than halfway up the career ladder without needing more than a single friend, and that was right at the point where it started swapping from best paying track to worst paying
I feel like The Long Dark is a game you'd enjoy. I'd love to hear the early philosophical ramblings of Project Zomboid videos in The Long Dark
I was expecting the game to start, but we just got AA's life story.
the kanye thing aged well
This was like watching an entire movie with a beginning, mid and end. The red line was always topped, and everything shown was interesting in it's own way. Thanks!
Making paintings and garden gnomes for income really is the only way to enjoy this game. It doesn’t matter which career, they are all bat shit insane to try and manage. I think Will Wright was trying to say something with this, but all I’m getting from it is that being unemployed but incredibly skilled is the true path to happiness and your sanity.
I think it's important you know your brand is so consistent, I recognized this video was you by the thumbnail
Kanye Ambiguous should've never been on InfoWars
Making and maintaining friends on Sims is always such a mission... on the PS2 Sims 2 there was a glorious bug where you could trap yourself with 5 other people in a hot tub and just afk and become max best friends in minutes. Made the game a lot more bearable
Ah finally, Sims! Have waited for too long, but it was worth it. Love the commentary man. It's so captivating for some reason.
“paid only $650 a day” ONLY???? bruh that’s about $280,000 yearly income 😭 I wish

There's that one line in frog fractions where you're asked how you plead, and one of the options is:

Would love to see you and CallMeKevin collaborate! Your calm, collected approach + Kevin's insanity would be a great match.
These videos test my ability to hold a straight face at work. It's a skill that will someday gain me at least FIVE friends, for whom I will demonstrate my incredible stoicism.
it is nice to see the Military cares about carpooling tho
This Sims 1 videos are too good, please keep them coming ❤️❤️
You might not have realized that you actually made Bob Ross' origin story! He was actually a military sergeant and moved on to be a painter! I guess life really does copy The Sims.

you must unlock the true power of the chemistry set. potions are hilarious.
As someone who’s never had a career because I’m pursuing art instead, this video reminded me that, although it’ll take me a while longer to get on my feet, I’m skipping decades of pain that my peers will have to endure before finally breaking free, if they break free at all.
I feel how this is like real life if it was in 3rd person and was written by a story teller
I love these The Sims 1 videos. Time to stay amphibian.
Really love your Sims 1 series -- really takes me back. Thanks for creating!
In the Sims 1 friends required are linked to friends to the family. I always have at least 2 adults. One only for job, one only for taking care of the house and make friends. Also, in the Sims 1 the decor needed for the job is decided by the nearest decoration to were the car disappears. Since your SIM is kept out of the map during work time, but close enough decorations improves environment mood.
It's also incredibly useful to purchase Bone Hilda as soon as possible. She is a FREE butler/maid/repairman/nanny all in one. Just call her every morning or when coming back from work
I absolutely love the presentation in your videos. It's almost like a looser episode of Nathan for You.
Ironically, I had no problem making friends in The Sims.
Ironic because it's exactly the opposite for me in real life.

In TS1 the life simulation used to be the actual game. It's challenging but it's a great gameplay loop that clearly had a lot of thought and research put into it.
The trick to beating The Sims 1 is teamwork. Some sims make money, some do housework, some keep up friendships.
*You can't do it on your own.*
Another trick is the Personality reverse potion... ^_^ Start with a horrible personality, get up to Junior Officer and stay there, flip personality to become outgoing, then switch career paths to something that makes max money per hour of work.

I liked the part when AmbiguousAmphibian said "It's amphibin' time" and amphibbed all over the Sims. Truly one of the moments in online entertainment.
I just started watching your videos. You have some of the funniest moments and your commentary just makes me laugh out loud. Thank you!
Consider "stay amphibious," because it's like you want us to join your branch of the evolutionary tree
Kevin is the reason I started playing The Sims. Before watching CallMeKevin, I had never played any of the games.
Kanye Ambiguous did nothing wrong
Every sound in this game just fills me with nostalgia. It makes me want to find my old laptop and start the game up so bad.
Such good writing/storytelling. 🤙🏽 Digging the musing, Bub.
ah yes call me kevin inspired you to play the game normally
The name aged so poorly lol
I was wondering what to watch before bed, great timing 😊😊
I think this was one of your best videos yet. It really spoke to me
The entire video was fantastic, but the outro statement was *chef's kiss* BEAUTIFUL!
