ADOPTION COMPARED! Sims 1 vs. Sims 2 vs. Sims 3 vs. Sims 4

I'm comparing adoption in Sims 1 vs. Sims 2 vs. Sims 3 vs. Sims 4. How does the adoption process work in each game, how does each one differ, and which one is the best (in my opinion)? The answer might surprise you!

In the Sims 1, adoption was simple - but also harder. The player could not initiate the process. Instead, you had to wait until the adoption agency randomly called your Sim on the phone and offered. And even then, you could only adopt babies.
In The Sims 2, you could now call up adoption services from the phone and order your very own baby, toddler, or child. You could choose age only - nothing else (even gender) was within the player's control. And there were limitations. You had to have a certain amount of Simoleons and if you had children taken away before, you couldn't adopt again.
In The Sims 3, you had even more control. Now you could choose the age AND gender of your adopted child. Plus, the financial requirement was gone and you could even name your new family member! The social worker also came immediately instead of making you wait a day like in Sims 2.
In The Sims 4, adoption was now costly - $1,000 for a baby, toddler, or child. You can initiate adoption on the computer, and your Sim would go pick up their new child immediately. Unfortunately, there are no social worker NPCs in TS4, which I found a little disappointing.

Well, I know that if you adopt a child, you cn legally change their name. I know of adopted children that usually come from a bad place and want a "fresh start" so their adoptive parents let them pick a new name. No one forces them to change their name, but a lot of them do get their names changed when they're adopted. In the Sims 3 you have the ability to create that type of story line, in which the child wants to change their name, and then picks a fun name or something like that haha

I noticed in sims 3 that the adopted child isn’t just randomized, they are randomized from sims you have saved in your sim bin. I had made a wicked witch of the west once and saved her to the bin and forgot she was there. A few months later I did an adoption and got a green baby. I guess I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that kid was the witches baby. That would explain why I sometimes got kids with pink hair too, if they were based off of sims I had saved.

I mean, even if I could, I would feel bad taking away a child's name and identity from them, especially in a stressful situtation. Just imagine living your life for 4-5 years with one name, then waking up one day, you move to a completely unfamiliar place, "random strangers" are your family now, and even your name changes. It's a lot to take for a little kid

Sims 2 is definitely the best version for me here. I actually really don’t like that you can change the name of a child-aged Sim in TS3 (and 4). IRL I don’t think you would/should change a child’s name unless they are too young to remember. I also don’t like that children who are taken away just disappear and don’t go into the adoption pool in TS3. TS4 is the worst though - I only found out a few months ago about the child just ‘poofing’ away through watching a GrayStillPlays video and I was appalled enough just by that. I had no idea they hadn’t programmed in a social worker (but really, I should have expected it). That game is so bad.

I'm skeptical about The Sims 3 because sadly, without AwesomeMod, the kid will end up having a pudding face 99% of the time (which means all adopted kids have exactly the same face). The Sims 2 has the best system imo. Adoption doesn't cost anything, but you need to have some financial stability to be able to adopt. And re-adopting is super cool. Lack of gender choice might be a bummer, but you can always save right before the social worker comes and repeat the adoption to get different results (like with labor). Plus, I am IN LOVE with the fact that adopted babies are bred from existing townies, so babies always turn out to be the most unique looking, with mixed up appearances instead of just basic templates :D

The girl just disappeared. She was even erased from both family trees, as if she or her parents marriage never happened. The Sims 4 is a bummer.

The Sims 2's adoption system is my favourite of the bunch, although it's not perfect. I actually like having to wait a day for the social worker to come. I know people irl that have adopted (or tried to, at least), and it can be a very lengthy process (at least where I live). I imagine that day you have to wait is used to do background checks on the parents, do all the paperwork, etc. It's annoying, yes, but so is the real thing, lol. That's why I also like the money requirement and that they won't let sims who have had their children taken away adopt. I take it as the sim social services making sure they are giving the child to suitable parents. Something I really like about the sims 4's system is that you can choose from a "pool" of available children, which I find very realistic. Orphanages and such only have so many children, after all, so that's kinda realistic. I *really* dislike that you have to pay, though. That makes it seem you're buying the child, which sounds just awful. One thing I'm sad none of the games have is the option to adopt more than one child at once. I know people who, for example, adopted siblings so as not to separate them. That option would be nice on the sims 2, since children that have been taken away go to the "adoption bin". Though I suppose you can just adopt them one at the time.

Really? I play with mods so I never noticed. I ain't got time for no default face 😂😂

Another comprehensive Sims franchise gameplay comparison?! Yessss!! One my favorite Pleasant Sims video series. In my personal opinion, you could never make too many of these videos. And as someone who started playing back in 2000, I find this content endlessly interesting. 😆

THIS is the Sims content I live for 🖤. I started playing sims 1 when it first came out, along with sims 2. Skipped sims 3 when I went to college and have been a sims 4 player since that was released. I have missed SO MUCH. Thank you for filling in literally EVERY GAP!

TS2 kids taken from bio parents can be a freaking nightmare. I almost always give up risky woo hoo babies from non-family Sims. If you do that too many times you can forget that a bio relative want to start dating them. 😖 My poor sim granddaughter went on a date with her much younger Oopsie uncle adopted by a different family.

Great video Cindy! Once when playing the Sims 4 my sims were getting married on a community lot and my toddler was taken away, I was devastated and thought she was gone forever but was surprised to find her in the manage households screen all alone in her own household, so I just added her back to my family. This was a few years ago and I don't know if it was a glitch or something they fixed recently.

One problem with TS2 adoption though - when the family ties are shattered the child could technically end up becoming romantically involved with a former family member 😬

@raea3588 2 жыл бұрын

I like your channel :) It's really fun and upbeat. I'm currently playing Sims 4 and I think it would be fun if one could adopt twins or siblings of different ages!

When I was playing the Goth family in Sims 1 the adoption agency always rang on first day of playing, so I though it was a scripted event, and I always thought that Alexander was adopted (thus had no suspicions about him not looking anything like Mortimer). I didn't realize he was supposed to be Mortimer's bio son until I saw all the theories that he was secretly Goopy's child xD

Thankyou so much after watching so many video of you, it finally motivate me to download sims 2 again, but sadly I’m using mac, so I only can download the super collection. So excited to play it again.
