I've always been the type of player to make a whole family and design their whole house and then get bored immediately and do it all over again... but that's less of a preference now and more of a necessity. every sim acts exactly the same way; traits and emotions do nothing, nobody knows anybody else, you can switch your whole lifes aspiration whenever you want, so there's no point of anything... so we buy every expansion and still need mods to do anything fun smh

My sims got married and hired a caterer. Agnes Crumplebottom was the caterer for some reason. She whacked them with her purse during their own wedding for kissing. It was wild.

I lured Victor Feng into my basement and removed the door. So now he's wordworking and painting for me to make me money while I just take care of chickens all day. :)

I think EA is always trying to justify their laziness by saying they give more freedom to the players that way so they can make their own stories, which is BS, because we always can either way. The lack of memories, relationships and history between families is what simmers find so extremely dissappointing and what gives the Sims 4 a constant sense of emptiness that the previous games (with less graphics and resources) didn't have. I am glad to see they finally get it and are tackling the issue in the last expansion packs.

I wish the sims 4 had the same kind of lore like the pleasant family. It was so funny to have that whole scripted sequence of Daniel cheating. I long for those days. Pre determined relationships in the sims 4 hardly even make sense most of the time.

When I first bought the Vampires pack, I remember creating a vampire sim and I played with him and his wife so long that when I checked other townies’ home, all houses were empty because they all died 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

The Sims 4 lore had SO much potential if they were pre-established properly. They're actually interesting however some stories cannot just work because of the lack of such, or the lack of stakes or features being implied in their situation. Stories like Naoki Ito's mission to modernize Komorebi has NO impact with the lack of Real Estate and property existence, and for Megumi there isn't even a career for snowboarding how can she be a gold medalist???

Whenever Basemental asks me to pick a drugdealer, I always choose someone from Partihaus, to explain how they manage to pay rent :D

I love the way Sims look in Sims 4. It's such a shame the game is a bit boring. Sims 2 had the best worlds and families. Sims 3 Supernatural was amazing tho...I was obsessed with having a town like Once Upon a Time basically. It was fun.

the bffs actually have more lore then people realize they are based on 3 sims with whole backstories and multiple games , if you haven't guessed yet they come from the mysims universe

There is a vlad painting with SO MUCH LORE and I think you can see him pre-vampire and what I assume to be a family member or wife

To think I robbed, murdered or just deleted most of these people.

One little detail I enjoyed: The Delgato's cat is the father of one of the Lynx cats.

When I was becoming an actress in sims 4 there was this gig that features the crumplebottoms. It gives a bit of a summary of their story.

The way I adore your videos and your voice is something else

I joined the paragons and stole the club leaders boyfriend and took her leading position 😂

The Roomies family is based on the tv show New Girl. I love that show and Zooey Deschanel!

the sims 4 backstories are actually quite interesting! it’s just the fact that they didn’t go the extra step if you know what i’m saying.(in the earlier worlds/packs)

Wow. I never even thought about the whole Apple/Orange! Makes so much sense!😂

Usually, alternate timelines don’t seem cohesive to the previous iterations of a series, but I believe this one may be. The Sims 4 being in an alternate timeline fits well with the theory that after being abducted, Bella Bachelor was sent back in time to TS3, writing books like the infamous, “Where’s Bella”, thus changing the future so that she is never abducted. TS4, I believe, is that future.

The best storytelling ever was TS2. And it has the best storytelling/photo feature. In TS4 all shots for the entire game are dumped together, not by household or even by world. So off game, I have to make individual files for each save and move them in and out to maintain some form of order.

From my understanding, the Roomies in Oasis Springs are based on characters from the show New Girl.

I really appreciate you doing this video! I am in the process of rebuilding the Sims 4 worlds for my own personal save file and you saved me a bit of time in understanding the relationships and lack there of between the pre-made Sims that come in the game. I can see that to make the gameplay of the future for me more fun, I need to create relationships between the Sims that I place. 💜💜💜

Whenever I have gone to the goth household Mortimer is always angry and throwing drinks at his children. 😅

what's with these sims having shitty relationships with their spouses? 😭

I'm pretty sure Morgyn is also The sims first premade Non-binary sim.

Can I just say... I love the description of the Munch family, funny but to the point with just the hint of sass. It's why I love the commentary on this channel.

😂😂😂 I love the “shit on the carpet” analogy at the end. Perfect!

There is SOME lore in Windenburg and Brindleton Bay. However the lore can be found in the community lots rather than the premade households. Chryllsim has some great videos on it.

Also In the cottage living world, Kim Goldbloom who owns the grocery stand which is across the street from Agatha’s, has a crush on Michael bell. And the teenage daughter of the Watson family has some romance stuff going on with the mayors son.

Diego came over to my house during the winter and decided to swim. He didn’t make it long, but his ghost started painting for us.

You forgot Kim Goldgloom who apparently has a thing for Michael Bell and also you forgot about the Mayor's son, Rahul who wanted to venture life outside of henford-o-bagley but didn't coz he doesn't want to leave behind his mom.

I have all the packs but I don’t know any of those families 😑 I know the vampires and of course I know the townies in Willow creek and oasis springs and that’s it. This video was helpful

In our game, our adult "son" met Munch while on a date with several other women. He immediately fell in love and ended up marrying her and having a beautiful baby together. They abandoned the oldest, got the middle in line, and her youngest ended up loving our "son" and his little brother lol

Whenever I'm watching your last video, I get a notification that you've made another!! Keep up the early Christmas presents ✨

This was so well done. Thank you. I play a lot of sims, but I learned a lot from this video.

21:26 "to help evergreen harbour as green as possible" Me and my 20 Generator : "Nonono, that's not gonna happen"

Bob and Eliza are absolutely iconic honestly

This video is so good! Easily one of the best explanation on The Sims 4 on the internet.

I've watched this video a few times the past week...such good background noise I could watch it over and over. if you feel like doing more of these I'd love it! maybe for worlds in the sims 3? I clicked through Aurora Skies and it was pretty interesting 😃

yo is the dj named candy a reference to the mysims games? i remember dj candy being my favorite character lol

There is quite a bit of lore to unravel from Vlad

Can we talk about the shades that Victor Feng was wearing though?😂🙌

Venessa is obsessed with my sim Jasmine. She calls multiple times a day and shows up around my sims house all the time! She even got Jazmine struck by lightning… 😅

You did an AMAZING job with pronunciation of the names!

I think we're fairly certain Jacques murdered his wife, then covered it up by lying, most likely. Kinda makes sense as when you start the game, he is quite high up in the criminal career.

I’ve noticed Tina Tinker is not mom to Olive, so Yasmine must have had Olive before they got together.

There’s a lot of sims 4 lore in the item descriptions, would love to see a video on it!

I think Siobhan is actually dating that Romeo guy when the game starts. Though, to be fair, aside from that, Windenburg doesn't have much else in terms of inter-household relationships. It's one of the reasons I'm trying to make a "Full World" save - so that I can start "new" saves without having to constantly fix relationships/skills/clothing. Windenburg does have "hidden" households though - the ghost couple of the Von Haunte Estate. The mechanics for them is kind of weird. I don't think they ever expected people to do anything with them, such as move them in - they don't have any relationships or last names (despite the lore actually giving them one) and they just duplicate if you move them into another household.

I never noticed this until your video, but I just realized Catarina Lynx is a tiny, itty-bitty nod to the Sims 2: Pets expansion. I just looked it up on the Wiki and yeah, this is known, so I'm not being all original here, lol. But I thought I'd share that someone made a tiny, tiny effort there. When you get Sims 2 Pets, there's a sim in the bin (under occupied houses, not the family bin) called Tara Cat who looks pretty dang similar to Catarina. She lives alone, has light skin, green eyes, red hair, and is wearing a hat. It's just that she has three kitties instead of 4. Tara is also the daughter of Ginia Cat from the Sims: Unleashed expansion, so there's a Sims 1 connection for her. That has nothing to do with Catarina, lol - just adding in that trivia. But hey, at least someone on the team remembered Sims 2 lore.

i feel the the windenburg townies know each other a lot more like Sergio Romeo is dating Siobhan Fyres in my games and with mcc they always get married and even if you interfere and they don't they end up having an affair

4:54 candy is a character from the game my sims which I loved playing as a kid! So cool, I just noticed this!

Wait, what happened to Dustin Broke? He was premade and placed in Del Sol Valley.

I can’t get enough of your dry wit and somewhat sarcastic delivery in these videos

During my new play through I am trying to keep in mind lore when it comes to my made Sims Vs Pre Installed Sims. Dont want to wreck someone else life.

Commenting for the algorithm. Love your vids!

Love when you said Michael Ball 😂 Great video!

Its become a routine for me to play your videos while i play the sims i enjoy the way you speak and you say funny things i enjoy your videos

I love how you (Whiny Brit) and FGG and Plumbella use colorful words.. you's say it for how it is instead of beating around the bush like most Simmers do. If anyone else (who's reading this) knows any other Simmers who says colorful words, please let me know.. I 'm looking to expand my subscriptions :) Tyia.

I love this video, it's exactly what I was looking for.

You did an amazing job pronouncing all those name!!!!

Great video! I love learning about the pre-made Sims characters. The animation of smelling the air that started with Bust The Dust is the woooorst. Everyone is out there sniffing away. So ridiculous.

"The Delgato family and their cats..." ...thats a .... dog.

I love this so much ! Exactly what I searched for lmao

The stories and relationships they give to the families isn't related to the game at all and doesn't affect anything. For example, if summer and liberty are desperately in love with travis, doesn't it make sense that when travis flirts with one of them she would accept it?

i wanna note that the sims not showing up in the relationship box doesn't mean they never talked cause my sim can talk to any sim but until i click and suggest friendly introduction that's when the relationship shows up.

thank you so SO much for this

💜❤️💜 Thank you for this... I don't own a lot of packs so always wondered where they come from when I watch let's plays. I only had Island Living, Cats & Dogs, Parenthood, Spa day, spooky stuff... And recently got Seasons and Dream Home Decorator.

Your voice is so nice to hear, you could talk about grass and i'd still watch your vids tbh.

New subscriber! Really enjoying your videos lately!

Whiny Brit, I agree with you that the storyline, memories, and relationships between the pre-made sims in each town are lacking in the sims 4. Previous sims games had more spunk and lore, but as usual, the newest sims4 game has some amazing qualities, but there are some things that were better in the previous games. I wish all the good things from each game could be put into the sims4. But, sims addicts can't be choosers, though I have thought about going back and playing the sims3 when I miss the more interwoven story lines, I have yet to do so.

Thankyou so much for this I just can't read into all of it myself 😂

I like to think that the sims 4 timeline is connected to its predecessors', but something really crazy happened that scrambled and messed up the whole timeline, it is a pretty crazy story but... if you are interested... it is below: 😁 "Alexander Goth grew with a huge trauma of having his mother gone missing, his father died and his sister moved on, but he never really overcame the trauma, so, he decided to become a scientist as an adult and figure out a time traveling machine that so he could travel to the past and save his mother before she goes missing. He was sort of successful, well, he failed a few times, but no mistake was worse than what he accounted as his hit, he arrived in the exact night his mother went missing, but... he got waay to close the action, Nina, Dina and Don were working together to get rid of Bella, and he arrived right in the middle with his time machine, but, the time machine was too close making Dom, Nina and Dina vanish into the time portal, but, Alexander made the machine to pass at most, 2 people, but Dom, Dina and Nina were 3 and that made the portal unstable, they were thrown 50 years at the past with no memory, Nina and Dina were thrown in Barnacle Bay and Dom, at Riververview. An inportant, thing I, on purpose, dind't mention is, the machine Alexander created is the same time machine we see in The Sims 3 ITF, but the future scientists improved so it could support more than two people, but other than that it works just the same (this info will help you to imagine what comes next better)... instead of opening a portal and closing right after, the machine created a portal that didn't close and that portal started creating a storm, and opening little holes in space and time, lots of things that weren't there suddenly appeared and others that were suddenly disappeared, scared, Alexander hugged his mom and said that everything would be ok, they wold be safe, right after he did this, they both entered the machine that, instead of taking them a little to the future, took them to an alternate future one that Alexander always wished for, he was a kid again but remembered everything, his family was all together and there was no disagreement between the families (there was no relationship at all actually) they were in The Sims 4 timeline" Btw, this tory also explains what's up with that ship that fell in Oasis Landing that the Time Traveler dude couldn't track when appeared, only that it was "somewhen" between The Sims 3 present and the future (Oasis Landing future) the ship appeared after Alexander left with bella it had all the schematics of the future Alexander created accidentally for him and his family (that's why it has The Sims 4 related stuff in it)... Anyway, if you don't like a crazy story or just didn't enjoy this, you probably also didn't even make it here, so if u did, thank you very much, I do appreciate it 😁😁😁

Since I don't even have like half of these worlds yet, this was very cool getting to meet all the families & know everything about them 🙃but I don't know what is up with EA having so many unusual names for these newest pre-made families that a lot of people have trouble pronouncing. I usually just use cheats for those hard, crazy names & make them normal

Ive heard a sims 4 Lore update is coming up... whats everyones thoughts? How might this look like? Do we think they will bring back memories?

even though the townies are boring when it comes to their lore i do love when they take control of their lives behind the scenes like i have a save file and Judith Ward moved out of her mansion and got married and now lives in oasis springs Michael Bell also moved out of his cottage got married and adopted two dogs and another townie adopted 2 cats 2 toddlers and a dog like idk i love when they have their own little lives 😌 (also one of these days i'm going to just play as one of the premade sims instead of making my own and see how that goes...)

People say there’s not many gay couples in the sims but in the sims4 even though all sims are pansexual I counted like 4-5 premade lgbtq couples

You forgot that the Mayors Son has a crush on the Teen girl in henford on bagly.

Thank you!

This is such a fantastic well made video 🖤🖤🖤

I like the idea of pre-made same-sex couples being added instead of having to play through generations just to get two guys or two gals to share an on-screen kiss together.

Love the video! Very interesting 😌 however, just thought I’d make a comment here to add that I recently learned that the Roomies family in Oasis Springs was loosely based off of the American television show called “New Girl” 😭🤯 had no idea about this until someone made a post about it somewhere on social media and within that post, another simmer confirmed that a sim guru or creator had actually confirmed this too. Just thought I’d add that little interesting tid-bit of information 😇 for anyone who cares. 😅

We need a refresh of thid video!!!

my sim who was living in san myshuno was neighbors with raj rasoya and his mom and i got them to be best friends and wanted her to be with him but he did NOT want her lmao no matter how hard i tried he did not want to be with her! guess he really does care about his mother's approval lmao

I've always been curious what would happen if you took a pregnant sim and cheated to have them abducted would they still have the original baby or the alien baby or both?

There actually was suppose to be connections to the Bro and Fryes households in Windenburg. Sergio and Siobhan are suppose to be in a relationship but nope, nothing! Some of my newer saves that have actually established the fact they're dating without player intervention but who knows, its the Sim 4.

Thanks you are fo funny!!😂😂

I always see Nancy langrab flirting with other sims and other sims flirting with her

I never actually played attention to the sims families until that johnny zest lore video on the sims oficial channel. i. ready to learn 🧐

I want a do-over with the original Sims games. I played 1 and 2 and was not aware of lore or pre-existing relationships. I remember the Goth family, but I never played them or interacted with those Sims. Do people really play pre-made families? I thought we were all creating our own families, same as how I play Sims 4 now. The most annoying thing to me is if my Sims do meet a Sim that I didn't create that I think would be worth pursuing a relationship with, they are usually married. I keep adding single Sims from the gallery so there are actual Sims to hook up with. Then sometimes, by the time they show up, they are already married.

My first sim was an athlete with a dog. No friends, some video games, on days off from work she'd go to the beach with her loyal pup and play all day. What a lovely life.

15:39 strange behaviour you say? couldn't imagine what gave him that impression👀

Good video. I hope they (EA) do a good job with the lore that they promised us would be coming in a patch for the past games/worlds.

Mila is always the big flirt with my male characters 😆 calling all the time and wanting to hang out

Ohhhhhh exciting!!!

I dont think we should pat the Sims team on the back for getting better when they ran it into the gound in the first place. You guys have gone bloody lace when you already had a amazing blueprint that was Sims 2. Small details in both bios, relationships and details in general. We should expect far better than what we get in TS4 since they already have proven that they have the ability.

Never did I think I'd see a premade sim named Björn. This is great. (I don't have get together yet so this is the first time I've seen them)

I did not realize there were so many homeless celebrities in Del Sol Valley 😂

when it comes to story telling sims 2 did it better mostly in pleasantview with don the sisters the Goths the pleasants and the Brokes

Plasma vampires? Like 90s animated Morbius?
