Don't skip over the building and furnishing on the rest of the games! Instead, showcase their differences since I believe that's what you going with when doing this challenge. We want to see the whole process in each game to appreciate how much everything has changed

No i want to see u building it in sims 2 also, dont skip it. also love you showing off the older sims games

Why was I expecting you to build all 4 houses in one video? I've been watching too much twitch hahaha

There is a cowprint sofa in every sims game except ts4 and I feel personally attacked

I used to color all the bedrooms with those pastel carpets and matching wallpapers :D I miss flowerbeds from sims1... I used to put them aaaall around the house and my poor sims had to water them ALL the time... Good times lol

I think The Sims 1 is the strongest nostalgia I’ve felt from any game. I remember whenever I’d go to Target with my mom, I’d go straight to the PC game aisle and look at all the Sims expansions. I’d stand there and stare at the display boxes with the fold-out covers showing all the new features. Idk if I ever experienced more excitement than getting a new expansion and reading through the booklet on the drive home!

I love when you play the older sims games it’s so nostalgic :)

No don’t skip the building parts!! I want to see how the building parts differ too

I LOVE that the walls are frames when you're dragging them. A small detail but I adore it.

I actually really miss having to water the plants and feed the indoor fish or they'd die... Felt more high stakes lol

I would like to see the designing and furnishing process again in other Sims games tbh. 🥺👉👈 Also this is such a nostalgia... I wish they would remaster TS 1 and 2 so we can download those to our laptops. 😿💙

And James didn't put a single light in the house 😆

I miss having to water the indoor plants 🪴

The early Sims games were a reflection of pop culture (and parodies of it) for their times. It was so innovative and really put them on the map in terms of games. I wish Sims 4 would have taken those risks, it had potential. Weird to think its been like 7 years and we're just now getting a likes system.

The size of that room with the pool table made me think of the episode of seinfeld when frank and cosmo are trying to play pool in georges old room but kept smacking the pool sticks on the wall lol

Okay hear me out, what about a small Let's Play Sims 1 in this house?

I loved to build on the road in the first sims, I made tunnels as well as obstacles for the cars. If I didn't like a sim I put their bed on the road. I really want to play it again sometimes. There's just something beautiful about it, and has multi lots, pet baths, spiral stairs, telescopes, cars, actual clothing stores, etc. Which sims 4 doesn't.

Whenever I see the buildmode in Sims 1 my brain thinks the lot is upside down and i don‘t know why. Even if there is something build on the lot. I‘m so confused all the time!

Seeing this makes me soo nostalgic. I miss playing the original Sims game and Sims 2 so much. And please don't skip the building and furnishing in the newer games! I'd love to see what's changed

The sims 1 is actually isometric! Sometimes called 2.5d

The camera angles are so annoying I am amazed how I could play back then and didn’t care 😂

I LOVE this challenge! I have been wanting someone to recreate the original houses from Sims 1 in Sims 4! Thanks James for delivering once again! Sims 1 is just too iconic and this video reminded me of that. (:

Cow couches... dont you mean COWches?

Currently watching through the whole bigwallet playlist😅

Awww, the nostalgia is strong here. I'd actually like to see more of the building and furnishing in each game -- maybe just do the basic shell of the build off-camera and then come in when it's time to plop in the windows and doors? But yeah, it's actually not a bad little house -- they can use their stuff, they have a nice pool and pool table, it's all a lot of fun! I like it, and I'm looking forward to the Sims 2 version!

I love this idea! Please try to put the screenshots side by side in the last video so we can compare all of them. Edit: I might be wrong, but I think you have no counter space to prepare food on?

It's been so long since I even looked at Sims 1. Nice trip down memory lane. I wouldn't be opposed to more Sims 1, 2, and/or 3. Just realized I don't even have a clue where my Sims 1 disks are, and even if I did, I wouldn't have a way to install because no cd/dvd/blu ray on this computer. lol

James creating his sim family with deli and bowser is the cutest thing ever 🥺

This is an especially interesting idea for a builder like James! The differences and evolution of BB mode compared essentially side by side (as opposed to trying to remember which game offered which features)will be fun to watch. The styles and items offered are a bit like little time capsules, too. Great beginning for Semaj, Iled, and Bowser!

If James gets to the sims 4 version of the house at the same time as dream home decorator gets released, then I kinda hope he makes it as accurate as possible to the other houses, and then uses the new dlc to completely renovate it!

Duudee, I remember some of the objects and I'm getting major nostalgia 😭 that huge table, I always used it in all my builds!

I think it'd be really interesting to see how the budget changes in each game too? Like, you could make a house on a budget of say, 60,000 simoleons in each game (just an example), the houses don't have to be the same. For example, maybe 60,000 in the Sims 1 gets you a mansion, but in the Sims 3 you get a modest middle-class level house or whatever. Idk if that makes sense 😅

When you make the house in the Sims 3, you should play in it when you start doing your Sims 3 let's play again!

7:42 James : OH BEADS! I love how excited James got when he found the beaded door. 😌

Are there any lights in the house? 😂 the Sims 1 is a gameplay masterpiece and the music is 🔥

After this house, you should do the same thing again but go in reverse order. So build it first in the Sims 4 then do 3, 2, and 1.

Can’t wait to see the next parts! Please don’t skip the process of setting the walls and stuff, it’ll be so entertaining to see that too. Great idea and job with this challenge!

Definitely would love to see some sims 1 gameplay - it was such nostalgia seeing it again! Would be interesting to see how you could create a storyline with limited interactions etc :)

My only complaint is that this vid is too short

I think you forgot to add lighting!

"This is like 7 expansion packs right here." 🤣🤣🤣 And I owned everyone of them too. I think the last time I had played was early Sims 3, but I'm fascinated in having my memory jogged.

I miss Sims 1 so much, I need to download it again

I don't know why but I hated the moos head so much as a kid. Not for vegan reasons... it felt like a personal thing, his smug aura mocked me.

"Feels like I am asking for too much." xD Most Sims 4 players

I am smiling so much big right now! So excited for this video. Omg that Sims 1 music and sound effects are so beautiful and nostalgic!

I love how you are finally starting to play the older sim games

I love this idea! I do kinda wish you did a small 2 story part so we can compare stair placements, but maybe you can do another series like this some other time. I liked seeing a glimpse of CAS too. I never played sims 1 so it's all new to me.

Omg, the genie lamp. That was my favourite item ever.

I'm a woman of simple likes. I see sims 1, I give the thumbs up. This is the content for me.

Damn that nostalgic feeling! I miss playing this game back in the day when I was still a kid and had no worries 😅😅

In Sims 1 build & buy mode, if you click again on the categorize icon, they will show categories by rooms. I think not many people know this because it seems no one ever told James..

this is so interesting. it's really fascinating to watch you build stuff since i have no idea how you manage to make the houses look so nice

You literally just made my day

Ooh yes, I love this concept! 🙌🏼

This was so much fun!! Such a fun flashback to playing this game. I used to always want the rug you put in the kids room, as well as the egg-shaped chair that you didn't elect to use. I put those two items in like every sing house I made in the Sims 1.

I played Sims1 so much, till this day, in Sims4 I still built and play just from one angle. When I ever change, the house still looks just wrong to me.

I am so here for this series!

Hey James! This is so cool. I love how you furnished this house.

Your reaction to the bed-heart (the sims 1) simply wonderful :D

Wow! Thanks for taking my suggestion. Can’t get enough of the early games! 😁

YES YES a thousand times YES to more sims 1 videos!

Oooh, I love this concept! How fun!

You totally spaced putting in any LIGHTS!!!!😆 Man the nostalgia!!! I can proudly say I still have ALL😎 of my original sims 1 discs in the cases with the CD keys, plus several burnt discs of old CC!!! Though getting them to work on a modern computer is challenging!!!😩

Whenever I see someone play Sims 1 I think about just how mind blowing Sims 2 would have been when first released. Maxis did so much between the two games.

This just gives me such throwback to sims 1 and all the items I always used to use!!

What a fun idea. I can’t wait to see the rest of these.

Great blast from the past James. I didn't much of the items you pointed out in TS1. But cars did exist, but they parked along the street.

Nostalgia trip HARD. Please, please do a few more sims videos! Maybe something that shows a bit more gameplay? It’s been ages and I would love to relive it through you🥺

Great way to start the morning!

You do build this so well, with the original content only

the trick to having a nice house in TS1 is picking one favourite angle and sticking to it. Yes once you've done basic furnashing you can go wild and decorate, but it helps a lot.

Oh wow... what a rush of memories. I spent so many happy hours playing Sims1 and this brought all that back. Thanks James! I'd watch more Sims 1 anytime.

More sims 1! I still build from the same angle in sims 4 because I grew up with this

I completely missed The Sims 1. I love when you revisit every now and again. ^_^ !!

You actually had to water plants in Sims 1. The pain

Oh that was so fun! Can’t wait for the other builds, Semaj!

15:48 i loved that couch, it really looks so comfortable, you could see that it is a pretty velvet, it came with Unleashed EP.

The sims 1 is so deeply nostalgic for me. My mum was a hardcore simmer, she bought all the “packs” as they came out and seeing the build mode menu, makes me feel things.

Absolutely I want to see more of all the sims games!

You could do a speed build of the building portion and then normal speed for the furnishings. I kinda love hearing you talk about all the differences between Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3 and Sims 4.

I have this exact same dark green coutch and it’s soooo comfortable I always fell asleep in it at some point

I haven't looked at Sims 1 in so long. There are parts to it that are just implanted in my brain and I instantly have a feeling about them. This will be a fun series. I think I loved 2 more, but I had loved Sim City and Sim Tower so much that I was very excited when the first one came out. I didn't have all the expansions and I didn't remember how little content we had. For 2, I remember being able to actually get all the expansion packs as a teenager able to get money. By Sims 3 days I easily had access to funds and I didn't think about it much. Now I can afford it but always wait for a sale. lol Full circle of Sims life. We want to see the full build for all of them!

Oh the feels :D I actually got the Sims 1 complete collection when Sims 2 was out already, but I very much enjoyed playing it. Still have the collection. Such nostalgia! And the house looked really so good :D insane!

i honestly think the sims 2 build is so underrated. like yeah you can't flip walls all around and move rooms, but going from sims 1 and then to 2, the build/buy is fantastic.

omg the sims 1!! Now this really does bring me back to my childhood!

I'm so happy with this video idea, I look forward to the other parts!! ^^

Yeah don’t skip the building! Wanna see it all for all games! Awesome video and series idea!

Love this challenge! You should do it again with another style of house! :-D

When you launched sims 1, and the glorious soundtrack hit you! Man, the music in s1 is the best!

This was incredibly nostalgic 🥺❤ I somehow miss this game. Lol. I played Sims 1 so much when I was younger.

Omg so many memories... 💖💖💖

The bed with the heart brings back so much memories 🤣 I always used that bed in the sims 1 🤣🤣 I was like 7 back then haha

This gave me so much nostalgia :')

I love it! Can’t wait to see the next one. 👍🏼💙 we need pool tables in sims 4.

Man this made me so nostalgic for the Sims 1. My sister bought it, brought it home and I stole it and never gave it back. Building in the overworld without too much hacking was so great.

I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU PLAY SIMS 1!! YES!!!!

I love this idea and would love to see more of the sims 1!!!!

How cute is it that James made his little family in the Sims? I love that.

Great idea for a series !! I wanna do this it's kind of a challenge !

OMG SIMS1 !!! (aka The Sims lol) Its been such a long time since I last played it ... Oh the wonderful memories of how it all began ... =D
