cheating in Sims 2 was so dramatic. Children were crying, spouses were shouting and divorcing and I think the sim didn't even have to be in the same room with their spouse to get caught cheating. Loved that

I feel like cheating happens all the time in the sims 4 when u aren’t even trying. Like joining in a townie conversation where everyone starts flirting. It’s weird asf 😭

I remember accidentally having an affair with a married sim in Sims 3 and then I got a notification that *I* was considered a Jezebel by everyone else in town 😂

There IS a "cheated on spouse" milestone in the Sims 4, but you have to fully woohoo with someone else.

In the Sims 3 the partner who was cheated on can also autonomously file for divorce when the betrayed moodlet expires. I was pleasantly surprised when it first happaned in my game! You go girl, you deserve better

Every time I see Sims 2 and 3 I just relive my trauma about Sims 4 being what it is...

I remember creating some drama in The Sims 3 and making Iliana Langerak cheat on her husband Dustin in front of the whole family with a co-worker. It was honestly so hilarious and chaotic. What made it even better was that by the end, her co-worker actually rejected her (even though he was into it at first) and a notification popped up saying "Girl, you've got issues, I don't want to take part in this." and stormed off 😂. I think the game actually realises that she was cheating in front of her family, and even her cheating partner was like, yeah, you sort this shit out yourself girl 😂.

The idea of Don's full name being Donathan is hilarious to me

i don’t remember it being a feature in sims 3, only in sims 2, but i really miss one-sided relationships. it was great for storytelling

Gasping dramatically when your cat enters the room is so important to them

Sims 3 relationships were so frustrating. My widowed sims would be considered cheaters if they got into a relationship after their spouse’s death. I would have to find the ghost and “break up” before the widow could move on 😭

In TS3, you actively had to take your sims to court to fix their reputations because newspapers would outright slander your cheating sim if they were famous/popular. Speaking of relationships, I miss the university club systems with their own mini ranks for the Sims 3, with the additional side jobs.

In sims 2 the children would be mad at the parent who cheated, every time they cheated!!! Why was that so much better!!!!

At first I hated that The Sims 2 had the separate relationship bars, but after playing Sims 4, I changed my mind. So much nuance, it adds so much to the gameplay. Also, like Sims 3, in the Sims 2, an angry sim will constantly go bother to the sims they're angey with and they might even fight, it's so entertaining to watch

The Sims 3 relationship reputation is TOP NOTCH. It’s so in depth ugh it’s beautiful

In TS3, if you haven't significantly repaired the relationship by the time the moodlet wears off, the sim who got cheated on will break up with the other automatically.

Plumbella: "In Sims 2 the relationships are separate" Also Plumbella: Only increases the relationship with Don Lothario from her Sims' sides and then gets surprised when he rejects these strangers' attempts to caress and make out with him.

The care that went into all the basic mechanics in the sims 2 ? chef's kiss... I vividly remember creating a kind of a loser male sim when playing with my friend. He fell in love with a pretty girl and was wooing her for a good while (two full green bars + romance, remember!). He finally proposed, only to be declined. We were shocked so we went into her family to find 0 POINTS in romance on her side. He had full 100 bar and she had 0. He was friend zoned! In the early 2000s. Truly groundbreaking!

Sims 2 was wild. I remember I had the dad of the family cheat on his wife in their basement hot tub and then she divorced him and he moved out. Since she didn't make as much money on her own the family had to switch to a cheaper computer and repair it themselves. Of course, the teenage son got electrocuted several times during repairs, and the child protective services showed up and took him away. Not sure if the game is programmed to do that after teens get electrocuted a certain number of times, or if his needs just got too low. My 11 year old self was horrified at this turn of events.

I think you could tattle to someone’s spouse if you saw them cheat in Sims 3. Like I’m pretty sure I remember my sims’ kid telling his mom that the other mom had cheated.

Having my sims cheat on each other in sims 1 was my favorite hobby at 12 years old lol

I'm also fairly certain that in the sims 3, the couple will eventually break up if you don't repair their relationship after cheating is discovered - but that's just from my memory.

In 4, the loyal trait makes sims regret cheating. Made a gal who had a quick fling with Kyle while she was single but then would get tense any time she flirted with someone else so I had to have her marry Kyle.

We can also add the fact that in the sims 2, your sim can study couple counseling wich can help others couples who got divorced to get back together.

Sims 3 memory: my Sims were on their honeymoon and out celebrating. They were flirting with each other, havin' a great time, and he suggested they go to their roo. When they got there, she was furious because he'd cheated on her. I swear he hadn't. Poor lad spent the rest of their honeymoon apologizing, and she was still mad when they got home. It was brutal.

I have had the cheating milestone show up in the sims 4 but only after they slept with the other sim. I also constantly have to stop my sims from autonomously flirting with other sims the second they stop talking to their partners. I had one sim who kept trying to flirt with his partner's brother any time they were in the home, then they just go back to having a normal conversation and then try to flirt with someone else 3 seconds later.

OH MY GOD. I WISH we had TS2 style memories in Sims 4, god. The STORYTELLING possibilities.

if ts3 sims catch your sim with another person, they'll call you a traitor, fight, break up and loose all relationship points with your sim even when the relationship ISN'T official. they think casual dates should be loyal and i both hate and love how unhinged that is. how much they care about loyalty also seems to vary from sim to sim, but maybe it's just my impression.

In Sims 3 I had the Late Nights expansion through no fault of my own and I had a famous Sim, and one day someone placed a rumour that they were cheating and my whole family fell apart. It was honestly traumatizing to me.

The Sims 3 is my favourite too for the sheer amount of stuff you can do. It opens the game up to so much random stuff. I loved that it wanted you to go to the future while you were trying to cheat 😂😂

Personally I've only really played 4, but the more I find out about the earlier games, the more I REALLY want to play them.

I don't think they'll ever fix how the traits don't effect the game in TS4 since they're already working on a new game. It would have been addressed in the early years if they were, IMO.

getting jumpscared by giant baby really caught me off guard

I remember one time when I was playing with a family, the dad and grandma started an affair all on their own. Have no idea how it happened or when it started, but found out when the mum caught them. This was on the sims 3.

This has made me want to rediscover the beauty and grace that is the Sims 3 all over again 🥰

OHOHO how I adored cheating in the sims 2

Honestly the free love neighborhood action plan from the eco lifestyle pack is probably one of my favorite things from the pack, my sims can live out their poly dreams without being forced to sneak around 😂😂😂

Sims 2 relationships really should be the standard at this point

i was used to playing the sims 4 for so long that when i went back to the sims 2 i had a save file with a single guy and he hooked up with another sim that i had made and they kinda fell in love? but i thought he was still single so one day another guy came to visit, i flirted with him a little and the dude i was in love with came to visit with a flower bouquet all cute and he saw us and i had a pop up saying stuff like “how could you” and i have NEVER felt so bad playing a sims game omg he brought me red roses outta nowhere which i didn’t even remember they did that (so CUTE BTW) and i cheated on him right in front of his eyes

10:26 the pure joy of seeing Plumbella making herself laugh like that haha love her

Always a good day when Plumbella uploads

I accidentally did incest in my legacy cause I don't know the extended family anymore and I feel like the sims needs to block this possibility cause I was DISGUSTED💀😭 I wish it was only cheating.

my sims always have resentment towards each other and i never know why so they spend all the time being angry and apologize lmaooo

I'm home with food poisoning and I've been binge re-watching your videos. This upload is a literal godsend! PS: In The Sims 1, cheating does not go down well either haha.

Nearly every time my sims in the sims 4 have been caught cheating (woohoo, not just kissing) the person who is being cheated on has died of anger.... there's definitely a difference in reaction between flirting/kissing/woohoo. I actually have to be careful in the sims 4, just because i want my sim to have an affair doesnt mean i want the cheatee to die :/

In sims 3 when you get a naughty reputation it makes building Romantic relationships with any other sims harder cos words got around that their a cheater

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again babe you can make sims 3 looks SOO GOOD on modern pcs

The cheating mechanic in Sims 4 is so messed up. One of my gay sims married Travis but the wedding was messed up just because Liberty talked to my sim. After that, weddings in any of my games became family only affairs in the family lot.

When you complete the "serial romantic" or whatever aspiration you get a bonus trait so you can flirt with anyone and they won't get jealous nor will you be guilty. You just have to complete a whole aspiration to have free love for one sim lol

And in the sims 1, 2, 3 the relationships developed over time. So if you'd be angry with someone, after some time the anger goes away and you can make a new relationship with them. I miss that in the sims 4, if someone gets angry at you there, no matter how long you wait the relationship will not cool off.

God loved the face in the middle of the options menus in Sims 2. No sarcasm, I legit spent HOURS upon hours making really detailed, unique sims & really loved that I could admire my hot babes & cool goths while playing them & it also totally made me more emotionally involved with them I swear (tho maybe thats got something to do with the autismus lol idk)

in the sims 4 I used the WW mods (iykyk) and every time I "romance" married sims and ended up doing the thing with them in front of their partners, their partners always died out of rage🤣 idk the way I see it its my own personal game challenge like how many sims can I kill by making them jealous to death (literally) lol

getting a new laptop and getting the sims again after years and these videos make me so happy and so excited! thank you so much ❤️

My sims were getting married last night and the bride got a flirty interaction from the mother lf the groom which the groom saw. So their love went all negative and bad sentiments 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also the mother lf the groom moved in with her elder daighter recently and did the same thing with her son in law! 🤦🏻‍♀️

i've never played ts2 but that "separate" relationship mechanic makes it sooooo tempting

I swear one detail I remember one of the games having in the past was if a child witnessed one of their parents cheating, they had the option to tell the other parent. Does everyone else remember that or was I dreaming?

I remember trying to woohoo with everyone in my dorm in university life sims 2 and even at the beginning, after just having one partner, the other people in the dorm would gossip and it get back to my original partner I could be making it up but I remember it being impossible without putting a bed on the roof and locking like 3 doors or something I miss the sims 2 so much, I need to get it running again

This is the science we didn’t know we needed 😂

I've always wondered what would happen in each game (except 1 ofc) if you had a lesbian couple and got one of them pregnant by a man. Would the other one know immediately and react?

I love your videos but i need an eye liner tutorial from you, your make up is ✨ on point ✨.

Thank you for this important work! Love these compares. :)

Thanks for doing this! I thought Sims 3 did it as well but you confirmed only Sims 2 separates the relationship bars. The one thing I respect about Sims 4 is trying to give us actually poly options so that lifestyle is an option but I feel like instead of a neighborhood thing maybe there just need to be a few more sliders or tags for Poly or monogamous, under the hood elsewhere like they did with sexuality, and of course stuff like lactose intolerant and vegetarian/vegan shouldn't be traits either but in a different spot. Lifestyles should be revamped and base game or else they need to create another category that's similar like what if they did sort of an RPG skill tree thing for normal Sims and that stuff was a trait in there?? IDK!

I grew up with Sims 2 but completely skipped from 2 to 4, and only got a glimpse of Sims 3 through my friend's game. Gotta say im tempted to have a browse on Steam 👀

I really miss the floating head. That used to be the first thing I did after creating a family is see their face up close in the menu.

The giant baby was hilarious 😂😂😂

What I despise about Sims 4 is that there is absolutely no autonomous loyalty. Sims go ahead and flirt with anyone at any moment if they're flirty. I had a wedding where both bride and groom were chatting with their friends, out of nowhere they were both angry with each other because they both flirted with the friends for absolutely no reason. Best part is those two friends were a couple themselves, and also got angry at eatch other. I literally quit without saving at that point cause it was pissing me off.

Reminds me of the time when I started a new game, moved my sim into willow creek, and Bob cheated on Eliza with my sim during the welcome wagon lol

The sims 2 relationship system and and times anger is so well done and unbeat

Bella: releases another top tier video Me: rapidly gets ready for bed because I know what I'm falling asleep to tonight

My sims always cheat in the sims 3 and then I have to fix their relationships 💀

In the Sims 3 there's also moodlets for the kids! I remember my sim cheating and the kids got specific moodlets about their parents cheating

It was so nice of you to zoom in on your roaming kitties. 🖤 Black cats are sooo pretty. They're so ethereal, like this particular creatures are not from our universe. All cats are top tier cats, but black cats are truly ✨ magical ✨ as a bonus.

Thank you for zooming in on the cats. Cherry on top of a great video 😻

there is a thing in sims 2 that you can cheat (kiss, hug ect.) with another sim in the same house as long as the other sim can't see it. But if you cheat by woohooing in the same house, even if the other sim can't see it, they will know and come running. believe me i tried this to test a theory haha

That was such a me moment... sorry distracted by a cat XD right at the beginning. Your little kitty is adorable~

I don't think they are bothered to fix the ssims in 4. We've been complaining about this for years and they haven't been stuffed to do it. I can't even consider playing TS5 if they never fix ts4 I don't want shallow sims

My very first sims game was the sims 3 on console (ps3) and I still play it from time to time whenever I boot up my ps3 (it still works perfectly fine and I have zero issues with it). I honestly love creating a bunch of drama in the sims 3, it's so much fun.

Okay I HAVE to know how you got the UI in Sims 2 to look like that?!

I love how in the sims 2 you unintentionally made a little fanfic with what appears to be the greatest portrayal I've ever seen of Evelyn Hugo, Celia St James and Don

girll you NEED to check out a custom sims 2 world called service area, the secrets, drama, and lore in it is CRAZY

you only get the "cheated on" milestone if your sim walks in on their partner woohooing, unfortunately.

Your Lois impression killed me omg

These vids are my night time routine❤

I’d love to see Plumbella play The Urbz lol that game was wild

I love that you react to seeing your cat the same way I do 😂 literally every time he comes into the room I’m in im like 😮❤

tbh i think the sims 4 one is bard bc even when sims autonomously chrat and now i gotta deal with the aftermath, they always have bad sentiments so theyre always angry/tense so they just autonomously insult each other :(

Your hair and makeup is stunning in this video!

1:02 that one fluffy Cloud of darkness Had a bright orange bow. So goddamn adorable 😍

Every time I see videos comparing the Sims 4, I just realize again how shitty it is.

I remember trying to make my sims sneak around in sims 3, just for their partner to run up on them at the randomly selected lot

Jesse: I shall call this sim Clone Jesse: Chloe feels insulted

Sims4. Foster child grows up, moves out, finds a wife, subsequently cheats on her with his foster mum? Autonomously! What the heck?

I miss how in the sims 2 sometimes the sim that got cheated on will move out of the lot by them selfs

We need a Sims 2 game with Sims 4 graphics and Sims 3 open world fr that would be so awesome

For all the praise that TS3 gets, TS2 definitely had the best relationship system. It was soo layered! I do like that TS4 is trying to emulate that more and more though, but it'll never reach that level

11:51 that sound made me have a minor panic attack 😭😭😭

THE CUTE LITTLE BOW TIE ON YOUR KITTY 😭😭

The Sims and Sims 2 both have one-sided relationships. They also are the only ones to use personality points and have interests (which change throughout gameplay, as irl).

11:53 ngl kinda sounds life the hunchback fella from Harry Potter laughing here😂😂

Seeing that I have the same Jaskier Funko Pop makes me so happy
