What is your favorite Sims game or feature?

Aaah, the Sims. Going for a Sims binge where you play 24/7 for 5 days and then put the game away for several months.

I feel Sims 2 was top tier in social interactions. I loved the cut scenes they created. I hope they will bring that back in Sims 5.

The Simlish actually evolved and became more of a real language with Sims speaking them more smoother in more recent games

out of all 4 sims i think i had such a soft spot for Sims 2 because i was in my teens when it came out. I still play it now and i'm still obsessed. It was such ahead of its time, the story lines were way better, and the expansions were waaaaay better

I've been playing The Sims 2 since 2007 until present, I was scared to move on to the next Sims installment and leaving my Family behind 😂 I wished if I was able to import my whole family into Sims 3 or 4 🙁

Will Wright is such an interesting dude, written and built a ton of pioneering games and also did the illegal coast to coast race The Cannonball Run.

Thank you Will Wright for creating such a masterpiece of a video game! The Sims is the perfect game to escape reality and enjoy playing and living someone else's life.

I just ordered Sims the Complete Collection. I havent played any of these games in 15 years. I'm so excited.

My favourite was by far Sims 3. I remember more about the characters I made there than in 4. I miss sending my Sim to the bookstore or just watching them run to work. Also, designing your own outfits with patterns was really cool.

The OG The Sims is still my favorite of all The Sims franchise. The first The Sims with all its expansion packs is what made my childhood super fun.

is this crazy that i'm watching this and than a ad came and it was literally Will WRIght talking about game design and the sims in the master class thing i swear i am NOT lying

Sims 2 and 3 was so much more innovative than it is now!!

Just started playing sims 4 and it’s so relaxing...wish I had some extra money to get one of the dlc! 😁

Great video. Sims 2 will always have my heart

The depth of Sims 1 and how Will Wright originally had a small team that was working on the Sims just makes me have hope for Paralives since they're another small team creating a life simulation game.

Sims 4 graphics + gameplay of both 2 and 3 + humor of 1 = perfect sims game

I would like to tell you all something .... when sims 3 first came out I lost my job because I lied and said someone died just to stay home and play the game . I’m pretty young so it wasn’t that important of a job but still ... I love that game

Am I the only one who remembers Sims Castaway ?

I remember having to wait for the sims 2 to load for like a half hour on our shitty old pc, good times! lol

they should have a sims 4 pack called “throwback” or something like that where it would add more old soundtracks, items, interactions, clothes, towns etc. that would be so amazing to everyone who grew up playing the sims

EA should make Sims 2 remastered

I'm I the only one that misses spiral staircases from TS2? It get's on my nerves that a staircase takes up so much space!

I still can't believe that for once EA gave us a chance to decide what we got in a stuff pack, and we wasted it on LAUNDRY -__-

I hope TS5 will have: A neighborhood like TS3 Animations like TS2 Soundtrack from TS and TS2 Feelings/Emotions like TS4 A LOT of animals in a Pet expansion pack The designer-thing from TS3 where u could use patterns and whatever color u like The sculpting-thing like TS4 That's just my opinion. Edit: Well that's a lot of likes wow. thx.

The people who made Sims were so smart. I never thought about it that way but if the sims talked in English it would be so annoying hearing the same phrases over and over again! I'm surprised that the cheat menu was added in on the first sims game, I still use the rosebud cheat now! Also they should really bring back the mafia haha and the custom clothes, that sounded awesome! And I wish they'd bring back the sense of community in the sims, without hitting a loading screen every time you want to go somewhere. Thanks for this video it was great

You didn't mention one of the biggest changes in Sims 2 -- neighborhood customisation! It was the first sims game that let you fully customise your neighborhood, place lots wherever you want and make them a variety of sizes, and the only one to let you design your own map in Sim City and import them. It's a big feature that's entirely missing in Sims 4, which has gone back to a Sims 1 style neighborhood layout that can't be edited at all.

Sims 2 is my favourite but if sims 2 had the sims 4 customization of character and open map like sims 3, it would be perfect

The sims five should have sims 2 cut scenes, sims 3 create a world and online things, and sims 4 cas mechanics

Am I the only one who thought Sim 3 was way better, more complex, and complete than Sims 4?

sims 2 was the shit, i had every expansion pack, i still play it on my really old laptop because i love it so fucking much, same with sims 3, those games were my childhood

I blew a kiss on my laptop's screen when Sims 2 finally appeared. Definitely my favorite game out of the franchise.

Sims 3 honestly was the best one in my opinion. I bought jungle adventure for sims 4 a few days ago expecting it to be almost as expansive as world adventures was, and geezus. The world is tiny, it's barely got any content to it, and my sim ended up dying because she wouldnt walk to the pool right next to her to extinguish herself after I had queued it up. I finished the content for it in four hours. The sims 3 spoiled me.

I think that the first Sims game gives me the most childhood nostalgia . It's amazing

The Sims 2 is definitely my favourite Sims game. It is basically my childhood and teenhood. I can cry just by listening to the soundtracks from that game. And the cutscenes makes the game more immersive and dramatic. The expansion packs for The Sims 2 are also amazing. Not to mention all the families that came with the game is even more dramatic, I remember Veronaville is my favourite neighbourhood having the Monty, Capp, and Summerdream families. Pleasantview was, like its name, a pleasant neighbourhood. The families however are not really pleasant and have lots of dramas like how Daniel Pleasant cheated on his wife, and the twins are enemies, the wealthy Goth family with Bella being a huge mystery, the Broke family being broke af, Don Lothario fucks with everyone lmao. The Strangetown is a mystery in itself with Olive Specter having all her husbands dead and also a Grim Reaper baby while Pollination Tech#9 Smith, an alien, is having a family on earth, the Grunt family, and all. Ahhh the nostalgia.

Bring back the cars in SIMS 5 and make it feel like an open world game again. The SIMS 3 is still my favourite.

I feel like EA has just got to comfortable to the point that they now think that they can create something and throw it at Sims fans and think that they will like it. The Sims 4 has been out for 4 years and now and they barley have any expansion and stuff packs. The stuff packs and expansion packs aren't even that good. The Sims , The Sims 2 , and The Sims 3 are a lot better than The Sims 4 considering they probably put more effort into the stuff packs and expansion packs and the actual game. I personally like The Sims 2 the most. Who knows what The Sims 5 could be like. I mean, they may not even make a 5th game since they barley even try anymore.

i’m praying there’s another supernatural for the sims 4. I miss being able to be a mermaid, witch, even a werewolf in the sims 3. AND DAMN I MISS CARS

Didn't plan on watching the whole video... Watched the whole video.

Anyone still playing The Sims 2?

Am I the only one who loves the Sims 4, and doesn't mind the loading screen? They should of waited a year before releasing it though, because it was really rushed. I am glad I waited and bought it after pools, toddlers, and the worlds looked better.

I'm surprise they didn't implemented the burglars in The Sims 4. I was like : "How come no one is stealing my stuffs?" The one time I'm actually looking for him.

Don’t get me wrong because I am a huge fan of the Sims....I was 17 years old when It was first released. Needless to say I was playing it for hours at a time.....and when Sims two came about, I was completely obsessed, like I stayed in the house for 3 days playing it lol. But when Sims 3 came out.,,,,., I literally played that game, every single day for a year! Sims four on the other hand, I play it whenever I’m bored 😑

When I got the sims 4 I was really disappointed about the fact there was no open worlds, shops, pools and toddlers. In the future I hope the sims 5 with be sims 2+ the sims 3= the sims 5.

I've been playing this game since I was 9yo, struggling to manage my sims in 2000, and now I am 27. It's been 18 years and there's more to come! Thank you Will Wright for turning my childhood dollhouse into an adult timeless game!

THE ONE THING the sims still does not have is the ability to change the height of a sim!! I'm 5ft and want my sim to be short damnit

I really miss the open neighborhood from Sims 3 :( it feels like Sims 4 got such a set back with the loading screens again lol also I hope they do seasons and university those have always been my favorite packs :)

The sims was never cheap but EA now have a reputation as money hungry scammers who take advantage of their loyal fanbase. Aside from all the features removed from sims 4, the very fact that it *has* to be tied to an origin account it ridiculous. A parent with 2 or more children now has to buy the kids a copy of the £40 game each. I've lost all respect for the company since sims 3 and I desperately hope for a competing game company to show them how it should be done. Unfortunately the sims has a monopoly on this style of game and they're presumably using rigid patents and copyright claims to stop any potential competition, and as such, any creativity or innovation. Knowing now that Will Wright left the company after sims 2 everything makes so much more sense. I wonder how he feels about what his creation has become. I wonder if he's as disgusted by their business practises as many longtime fans are.

History of The Sims: It was an awesome and groundbreaking franchise until EA shut down Maxis, the creators of The Sims, and made the game a DLC in a DLC gimmick. Nice job EA.

THE MUSIC FROM THE SIMS 3 OMF THE MEMORIES

The soundtrack of the first one > life

After looking back at what was available for the Sims 3, I seriously believe that the Sims 4 should have so much more than it does.

I miss Create a World from TS3

It's a shame sims 4 is so dry. Something is missing in it. I'm no way near as immersed in the world as I was with the other sim games.

Sorry but the Sims 4 is a low class version of Sims 2. Sims 2 had more in the base game then the Sims 4 did with 2 expansion packs. If I had a choice to play either Sims 2 or 4 I would choose Sims 2

Tbh Sims 3 always scared me, especially the damn school bus when it turned 😂😭

It's so sad. EA Both "made" and killed Maxis.

They should re-introduce the Sims online. With social media and internet in almost every house hold, this time it can actually work.

The Sims 3 was the first video game I spent my own money on, so it holds a special space in my heart. But of course, I also had to get a video card for my computer, something that I had not heard of at the time. Now 10 years later, I'm a computer technician and this game is a huge part of that.

Am I the only one who genuinely loved The Sims Medieval? The lack of the building side is actually one of my favorite things about it since it allowed me to focus more on the gameplay and quests :D

sigh the only thing I like about Sims 4 is its graphics. I love the Sims 3 gameplay where no loading screens are involved and I can just look at what's happening at the local park while my Sims do their things if I want to. Sims 4 is just soooo limiting in what we can do and it gets boring fast.

I was in foster care just into a new home from an abusive one when I was first introduced to The Sims (1st one) by my foster sister (the daughter of my new foster family) at the time. it was my greatest escape and has been a cherished game series ever since.

showed this game to my bf last night because he doesnt understand the bond ive had with sims since 2002 .. I wanted to cry watching this 😂 everytime he watches me play he goes “ this game is so dumb whats the point “ I forcefully made him watch this and he was interested .. people just call the game dumb because they dont kno how to play !

I love the Sims games I grew up with the game!

After watching this video, the sims 4 really needs to bump up it's game.

Ahh yes, the times when the sims expansions were actually less than the base game, and the base game was actually fun to play on its own

There's something about Sims 2's simplicity that makes it so...comforting to come back to after hours of Sims 3 and 4. Sometimes you just want to go back to the days when you had to keep pestering your parents for new computers because Sims 2 came out and it won't run on your current computer. The days when you would spend hours messing around with this innovative stuff that they call "3D." The days when you would start freaking out after you spent all your Simoleons on something stupid, so you had to sell a window for pizza every day. And even if you didn't experience all that stuff; Sims 2 is just fun to get lost in. It's got a certain charm that the later games don't. Sims 3 is great; it just doesn't have the personality that this has. And Sims 4 has come CLOSE at times, but the less we say about Sims 4, the better. Such a freaking classic, man. EA was KILLING IT in the early 2000s. SimCity 4, NFS Most Wanted 2005, Burnout 3, their crap was on point. Such a shame that nowadays they release soulless cashgrabs for money...

I have played them all and have gone back to Sims 3. It's the best, people are still creating new content so it's still alive and growing. Good Facebook groups will help you with what you need. If there's a Sims 5 made they need to go back to 3 and solve the lag/crash issues. Great video and happy Simming!

It's crazy how much I remember of the first Sims. Seeing certain countertops or clothing triggers something in my brain from when I was 10 and playing with my friends. Damn, this was a fun trip down memory lane.

I wonder what would've happened if Wright didn't leave EA. Things went to shit since then. I played TS3 and I'm still playing TS4, but looking at the older versions something went missing from the newer ones.

Beautiful video, but I can’t help but realize that with every new game the Sims franchise has become more about the money! Seriously, laundry day stuff??! Like you can’t just include that in an expansion pack?

There are many things I miss from TS3 like the open world, cars, horses, all the creatures you could become, travelling to “France, China and Egypt”, and much more. I like playing TS4 but it really feels like a step backwards in many aspects.

TS3 is incredibly immersive and closer to a real life simulation than any other game of the franchise. TS2 is so much fun and offers a lighter and less complicated experience that can be just as entertaining as TS3... But all I can say about TS4 is that it's CAS mechanics are undoubtly superior. All the other aspects of it seem neutral to not so good, especially when compared to the previous ones. Really didn't feel like the "next thing" in the franchise, feels more like a prettier-looking spin off.

Sims 2 for life! There’s loads of things I love about that game but mainly, there was just always so much that you could do. Also the fact your sims had ‘memories’ which allowed you to scroll all the way back through them and reminisce. Sigh

You haven't played The Sims unless you woohooed on that red vibrating heart shaped bed ❤👍

For a half an hour video i feel like a lot to be said about the sims 3 was missing

Ahhh The Sims. I used to lose hours & hours on that game/franchaise. The Sims 4 pretty much killed that for me but I just hope that The Sims 5 delivers the classic fun back!

I remember playing The Sims when I was 4 . damn what a memory.... :D I miss playing it then go to school,come back home then play it again :D

Busting out was my introduction to the sims, ive been hooked ever since.

I have always thought the next big game to come to PC would have been a Sims/SimCity hybrid, where you can control your world both on a macro level and a micro level at the same time.

I still want a new version of making magic....

I still have sims 2 the music is giving me nostalgia 😂😭

This was a fantastic video! So many memories are flooding back to me. My first experience with The Sims was in the console game, Bustin' Out. I was hooked! Eventually, (after I got a better computer) I was able to play The Sims 2 and soon after The Sims 3.

I never thought I would say this, but after playing The Sims 4 (please note, I haven't played The Sims 3) but I miss the friend requirement for promotions. It forced the player to actually build a community in the game. And so far, The Sims 2 was my favorite installment of the franchise (I miss the University expansion pack, damn!)

I play the Sims because I enjoy the absurd moments that happen, showing you're not truly in control. The best in the franchise for that was the Sims 2 because of the fears system. I kinda want this to come back but it probably never will. :(

The sims 2 memories were best i wish they add it to the sims 4

Seeing this made me happy. Sims 1 and 2 were revolutionary and are still incredibly good, even better than the newer ones imo

You forgot to mention one important thing in the end: The Sims 4 was actually originally intended to be an online multiplayer game you could play with your friends, but EA got cold feet and wanted to maximize their profits (how surprising!). They changed their mind half-way into development and it was rushed into a fourth main title instead. That's why The Sims 4 sucks so much.

Sims 2 the best. Options galore and realistic graphics.

Wow ! This documentary is a piece of hardwork .. well done ! I wish if they could integrate sims 2,3&4 together with their expansion packs.

Sims 2 is a masterpiece and i had to wait to play 4 till Certain features we're added.. i think there taking there time with sims 4 and making it a very detailed game that wil have alot of expansions and other packs

The perfect Sims game would be a game that has the music of the Sims 1, the gameplay of the Sims 2 (things like buying groceries being required, burglars, firefighters etc should be brought back), create a style, controllable pets, (perhaps open world if they can actually fix all the lag and bugs) from the Sims 3, and create a Sim and build and buy mode from the Sims 4. Also, all the usual expansions like seasons and pets should become part of the base game already. It would be nice if we could also get height sliders. Actually getting this is near impossible though...

Dude, im still listening to the sims 2 soundtrack! And i couldnt help but smile all 33 minutes of the video, great job!

The History of the Sims (Condensed Version): Will Wright created it and EA destroyed it.

sims 2 is the best one. sims 3 is my favourite. i like that sims can multitask in sims 4 but i just can't get into it like the previous games "/

Sims 3 was a part of my teenage life, then Sims 4 appeared when I started college.... It wasen't the same but I still managed to have fun with it😊... Sims 3 was the best tho

The first time I played this I was 10 (25 now) and instantly fell in love with it. I could binge play for hours even days sometimes. I gifted the original sims to my niece on her 10th birthday. She is obsessed with it already. I almost a right of passage in my family. 😂😂

This is a cool video, i have been playing the Sims since 2008 & it has changed so much! It's always my go to game when i want to just relax & have some me time away from the day to day life lol

The laundry day stuff pack was the one the PLAYERS chose so... you can’t really judge the sims staff

I just hope with the Sims 4 they don't do a seasons expansion pack, but instead they just include it as a game update. Like I feel like you shouldn't have to pay an extra $40 so that it can snow and rain lol.
