Always wanted to try this - RIP Jebediah Dingleberry I, Jebediah Dingleberry II, Jebediah Dingleberry III, Jebediah Dingleberry IV, and Jebediah Dingleberry V

Not going to lie, I thought this was going to be a philosphical deconstruction of pieces of art that only exist in The Sims 1.

I think Death was the real artist all along. The canvas was the family of Dingleberries. The works painted with a brush made of suffering dipping into a paint can labeled "Futility".

Jeb the fourth was the most relatable for me...

I love how this went from a struggling artist to an art sweat shop with child workers. Steve Jobs would be proud.

I trapped my wife in the basement, then painted the entrance door. I titled it "Entrance to the hostage room" and sold it for 500 dollars

Well, this challenge escalated quickly into a repetitive cycle of death.

"I'll show you, Dad! I'll be a starving artist!" **Starves**

As someone from a household whose only source of income is my father's art commissions, this is very accurate.

The SimCity 4 music really fits your style, I love it

I did the "start with $0 challenge" in the Sims 4 and it just doesn't have the same difficulty curve that earlier Sims does. Or the Slacker career. Although there was a period of time that Irma Ho'Mlessmann lived off of glasses of water. Turns out water in the Sims spoils really fast.

“The easiest way to make money as an artist is to sell furry porn on Twitter” -Sun Tzu

You turned the Sims 1 into a rogue-like.

I love the deep dive into all the old classics you've been doing lately AA. All these perfect games for videos that came out a decade before KZfaq videos were possible.

first painting he ever did was a perfect photorealistic picture... sold for 0 simoleons lol. also --> cassandra blew-it

I remember one of my Sims had a successful career as an author with a series of books called Gun Violence. He did some others but Space Wank didn’t ever do as well as Gun Violence or Gun Violence 2: Reloaded.

I've literally known people who kept "art goblins" in their Sim's basement. Yes this is literally possible.

"and for three days I boxed out child protective services whenever they attempted to confiscate my infant" - Josef Fritzl, struggling artist.

Gnomes are broken. At mechanical 10 you pump out dozens a day at 100 each if I recall right. It's how I ended up playing most of the time Edit: wrote LV 100 instead of 10.

This is going to sound weird but I have extremely bad insomnia and your videos legit help me get sleep at night. Thank you so much for being such a great content creator

This video is a perfect mix of nostalgia, curiosity and humor. Not everyday you stumble upon a person that experiments with old Maxis games and narrates such funny stories, I wasn't able to hold my laughter by the half of the video.

This is “100 years of Solitude” but with less incest. Great book.

No one wants to be the person that, when talking about their art collection, throws in 'Oh, and I bought a Dingleberry too! Wanna see it?'

8:53 I love that he named the child “1”

You caught my attention with the Rollercoaster Tycoon video, reeled me in with The Sims Starting with $0, and have me completely sold with this starving artist. Love these videos!!

As a someone with an MD in art I must say that this is is most accurate description of a life as an artist I ever seen.

I remember flipping the right expensive paintings playing the sims and actually making good money because certain paintings increase in value over time

Wonderfully philosophical and classic gamerific. The pitiful lives of the Dingleberries and their fight from the bottom of the art scene to the apex was very engaging. Your editing style is really getting solidified and smooth. Good work as always mang.

This reminds me of the legendary Sims 3 series by Robbaz, The Redneck Brothers. Bertram the Butler was the "art goblin" of the Redneck household, and it made them thousands upon thousands. Of course, Clyde Redneck was also a professional thief (and murderer with a modded gun), so that came in handy as well. King Redneck was the inventor, he also planted ambrosia to keep everyone young and alive indefinitely, and bring the dead back to life. Great series, heartily recommended.

The struggle of an unfulfilled artist is one humanities most virtuous tragedies. To put yourself totally into your work which you value so much, dying for appreciation, dying of depression and starvation, dying not for mere attention but careful eyes and ears. That is true commitment to the arts. Commitment means you come back to your values when you inevitably fall short in your journey, the artist, we live in a society.

Gotta say, your style of editing and narrating the challenge instead of live commentary is hilarious! Subbed!

Dude the level of effort this guy puts into making these videos is unmatchable. I have only played The Sims like twice and now I am obsessed with SimCity 3000 because of this guy. His jokes are so well thought out, the little edits of other gameplay the video cuts to sometimes for eye candy id genius. This guy is brilliant and hilarious and he also gives genuine tips about the game as well! Awesome

God Tier Naration, and yes keeping away child protection services is an important step towards intergenerational wealth 😄

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE WAY TO PLAY SIMS 1! I was so bummed when they didn't let you sell garden gnomes in future entries in the series.

I love that you use sims music as the background for your sims videos, it's so nostalgic for me.

8:38 the TV covering the window is my favorite part

A true joy to see another The Sims 1 video from ambiguousamphibian.

Always something great about going back to these older games and proving they're still so full of potential and fun.

I've watched this like 4 times in under 24 hours. The sims 1 nostalgia and your soothingly morbid monologue make for a perfect combination.

Honestly I feel like everyone who has played enough Sims-1 has done this, the answer is yes

Sims series seems to cather more towards classic "shady ORGANisation" amphibian that I, personaly, love and miss.

I dont know if it would've failed the challenge, but I always make my sims 1 sims start with randomized skills. You do this all in create a sim via making a child, then edit the child to be an adult. Repeat for every sim intended to an adult. Once you finalize the household, all adult sims created with the method will have a randomized set skill points allocated to them.

The Dingleberry generations will always be remembered for their sacrafise and work for the other Dingleberry to have a somewhat furnished home Rest in peace

How to turn Sims 1 into a depressing roguelite

My Sim was able to retire through painting in Sims 4. The OG game is clearly a whole different animal…

Anyone remembers the fact that the game keeps firing you after you reach career lvl 10. God I hate it.

2:17 "You know. I'm sort of a painter myself." - Jebediah Dingleberry II

Love being transported back twenty years - and also seeing stuff from expansions I never had. I didn't know I needed this channel so much.

I love that you're making Sims 1 videos now.

The best meta in Sims 1 is making and selling gnomes.

every few weeks i get this urge to binge watch/re-watch all of your videos. I love your voice, ideas and perception of life. I find it very comforting and it makes me feel less lonely... thank you

This hits harder when you're listening while painting

I love coming to my AA meetings. Pleasure to be back with you all again.

This explains why the greatest artists are always a bit odd fellas

I have NEVER seen a bad video from you man! LOVE your stuff!!!! Keep up the good work!

This was amazing. 'Casandra Bluitt' and the blocking out of CPS was hilarious. The whole last third of the video was so unexpected and entertaining

as an artist I can say this is pretty accurate

This hits differently when you're an artist.

These are great. Doing these challenges on our old childhood games has just the right taste of humor, intrigue and nostalgia

that sim city music hits the mood. Also if you like have a house, and a few bucks you can do this because your paintings sell for good prices after a while.

Loving the Sims videos lately!

Just discovered your channel; it's my new favorite. Love these classic games and the challenges. 😊

So happy to see you making multiple sims 1 videos. I was hoping the last one wouldn't be the only. Thanks buddy👍

Man what great music the sims had. Nothing but bangers and I still remember them note for note and still love them after probably thousands of hours in the games.

The sims 1 videos are great! I WISH the game and its packs were digitally distributed on steam or something.

Hey, I have an idea for you: make a vault in Rimworld, and I’m talking about using the tribal DLC so you can make a fallout vault, this came into my head after seeing some mods adding weapons from fallout (so you could install those mods to enhance the experience) and I think it would be interesting to see if you can pull off this challenge and pull off what the Vault Tec motto says and create a better future, underground.

This is pure gold. Enjoying this waaay too much. Would you kindly do more of this stuff?

These Sims and roller coaster tycoon videos are making my day while I'm sick at home. :D thank you

Love the Sims 1 content! :D

Nothing to inspire a budding artist like graves of his starved ancestors right next to his easel!

I came across ur channel like 2 weeks ago and by far my favorite channel I've found in YEARS. Love ya man and keep up the good work. (i miss the solo project zomboid stuff ❤️)

I’m loving the nostalgic videos! Anything Sims 1-3 is clicked instantly.

A man named adolf was a starving artist once then he went on to leading a country, I say art is a good career path :)

I love how their beds are outside with their easels 🤣

loving the nastolgia stuff! now i want to go back and play all of those again!

Just had this pop up, and I love your video style! Always love watching old Sims content!

Sir, you should be writing stories for Hollywood or Netflix, seriously. This is the very first video I've seen from you, but I'm already in love with that creativity. This story sounds like it's straight out of a horror movie: A rather poor but genius painter meets an attractive and cold executive lady who likes his paintings but doesn't care much about him at first. He nonetheless tries to win her over, while the audience roots for him and feels his sadness each time he gets rejected. Then, finally, she says "yes"! Everything is going so well and it feels like a happy film about love and a never giving up mentality with a (way too soon) good ending for our hardworking and likeable protagonist. Half the movie in, the setting suddenly changes. They get their first baby and the husband starts to act... strangely. He changes. Everyone around the family sees a loving dad that inherited his skills and talent to his two daughters, practicing with them and encouraging them to follow their dream to succeed as artists, like he did. Only the mother notices that he changed. Someday, as the teenage girls got interested in other things than painting, the man snaps. Horrible things happen in that house since then and the man finally showed his true face. His mad plan to "repay" his ancestors, no matter the cost, drives him to extreme violence, over and over again. The honest and friendly man really never existed, his entire personality was all a lie... and while being at home, he will never pretend to be a good dad and husband again... Gosh that story could go so many ways from this point on. A thrilling life or death situation at the end would be interesting, where the father tries to kill his wife and daughters and rather start a new family than to let his daughters quit painting. And while his daughters are way too scared, helpless or even crippled by their dads torture so they can't defend themselves, at the end it's the mother and maybe a boyfriend of one of the girl who kill the mad painter at the end. Um, sorry for escalating a bit xD but the setting is just so perfect for a horror movie. The plot twist could be just as good as the one from the movie Parasite, which also started as a comedy but turned to horror in the last 30 minutes.

This really says a lot about our society

I have wondered this for quite some time. Thanks for exploring this idea, because I haven't been willing to actually set up the Sims to try it.

The lesson learned here is that life itself is a multi-level-marketing scam. Do not perpetuate it.

As an artist I can confirm this is exactly how it works

This is probably the best video I’ve watched all year.

I love your previous video of The Sims, and this too! Please post more :D I'd watch them!

I miss custom paintings in the Sims 2... In the later ones you need mod packs that overwrite paintings or add entirely new paintings, but making a mod like that is a lot of work. Just slapping custom stuff into a file and the game being like "Yep, that's a thing" was great.

It was the $1200 dining room chairs paired with cheapest table at 7:45 that did it for me.

your extremely dry sense of humor is wonderful. 11/10.

Hey dude, I would love to see you cleaning the whole city in project zomboid. A brazilian youtuber made some adjustments on sandbox mode to make the game harder from start and more "realistic". - Population: Insane and Urban Focused - Sadistic AI Director: All "Sometimes" - Loot Rarity: food options > normal / Weapons, Ammo, Mechanics > Abundant / Literature, other, medical, survival gears > rare - Advanced Zombie Options: Population Multiplayer > 4.0 / Population Peak: 28 / All Respawn Options > 0

*"He wears a hard hat to shield himself from economic adversity"* This is truer than you realize kids, get a trade skill, fuck college. I legit am buying my first home after 6 years in a trade after spending my 20's languishing at dead end service jobs. It's hard work, but rewarding.

It's funny to hear you go from just normal commentary in your older videos, to the way you commentate now. It's actually kinda soothing.

We need more Sims videos hahaha love this

please for the love of god keep making these dystopian sims 1 videos!

You are truly radiating Sseth energy, it's amazing and I wish you well on your way to 1 million subs.

7:36 dude you are hilarious, glad i subbed to this channel.

00:48 made me think this was gonna be a Juno Birch video

I love these sims 1 videos lmao your narration is A+

this takes straving artists to a whole new level

I love these videos from The Sims 1! It makes me to try to run it on painful Windows 10. Please don't stop! :D

Well I mean...This is much more of a ''How many generations of selling the starting items takes to make a full house'' Challenge. I loved it Either way.

You are a super talented (and truly hilarious) writer/narrator. Just came across this channel and am hooked!

2:51 motivated by his father grave. loooooooolll
