Hi! Consider this added to my list of "videos that I thought would fit into shorts but then turned out to be the opposite" videos.
Birds are such a teeny tiny detail in the sims that I think many of us forget they're even there. I remember the first time I bought one, it was in Sims 2, I thought it was cool that he flew around but I forgot to feed him, he died and I felt so bad that I didn't try to have a bird ever again, neither in the sims nor irl.
What's your experience with these little guys? Do you like them? Do you think EA will keep milking the sims 4 to reintroduce them as pets? My opinion?
Sims 1 was a solid base, with small and large birds behaving differently, altho, small birds feel barely there and large birds make way too much noise that they won't let my sims nap in peace not me play in silence, they're so annoying! But maybe that's just me
Sims 2 was a great progress, birds have more movement and variety in species of large birds, they have more interactions and can actually leave the cage if you want them to, cool stuff.
Sims 3 copied many things from Sims 2 but improved the way to get birds and reintroduced small birds, it's nice to have so many different varieties in their looks and I think it's neat how you can find them around the world if you're lucky (or have a certain trait)
Sims 4 scrapped all of this and we no longer get pet birds, instead, we get to interact with the wild birds and I think this is very nice in concept, but as a game meant for playing? I'm not sure. I love their little interactions and how they can actually get you stuff and help you with gardening, so yeah, these is a good change but I still miss the pet bird feeling. I'm not sure if pet birds will make a comeback or not but these are fine imo
But that's just my opinion, let me know your's and I'll see you on the next one! I'm thinking either grimm reaper or unique objects or finally stop procrastinating on the horse video, I guess you'll eventually know. Take care!
