There's no pregnancy in sims1, there's a popup after woohooing/kissing that asks if you'd like to have a baby, and if you say yes, a bassinet appears, and kids don't age up 😂 That's why Sims 2 was so revolutionary. It introduced pregnancy and aging.

The amount of hours I spent in Sims 1 and Sims 2 as a child was insane. I’m now almost 30 and I listen the music soundtracks at work because they’re so calming and nostalgic

Kelsey calling Bella Goth “Bella Swan” at some point has awoken my Twilight phase 💀

Ah yes, the infamous school bus. Once upon a time, a child in my Sim family stood in front of it when he got home and peed his pants, blocking the bus from moving. Good times.

Kelsey: "The room is not very good for some reason..." Chelsea: *standing behind port-a-potties in a field full of trash*

Everytime Chelsea complained about not being able to do a romantic action I looked at the friendship bar and started laughing. I mean, when I played the sims 1 I would high five the other sim till they had 60 of friendship and only then would start being romantic.

“Not the cat I thought he’d be petting tonight.” 😂

I was an adult playing Sims 1 when it first came out! My third baby was born in 2003 and I have a picture of her as an infant, sitting on my desk, with Sims 1 on the monitor behind her! LOL I was so excited when Sims 2 came out because kids could finally age up and it was a game changer! I played Sims 2 (skipping Sims 3) until your first 100 baby challenge which made me try Sims 4 for the first time ever! I still miss a LOT about Sims 2 but I play Sims 4 regularly now. This was a fun walk down memory lane.

I'd forgotten how hard relationships were in S1. Clearly blocked those memories. Also, if you ever do want a deep dive in Sims lore, Plumbella has an "Entire History of" playlist that's terrific.

God, that Makin' Magic expansion pack music was my everything. Definitely the best Sims 1 expansion. Thanks for this trip down memory lane, Kelsey!

TS1 is such a gem! It's obviously missing a lot of features from the newer games, but at the same time it had sooo much content that was never recaptured in the sequels. Like the sock puppet interaction. If another sim is high enough in playful point they'll pull out their own. 😂 The game mechanics for stuff like shopping, magic, fame and pet shows are also the best of any sims game.

The friendships are SO much harder to get let alone 100 babies 😂😂

I was one of the most prolific tutorial writers for The Sims 1 and 2 back in the day. Eliza and Bob pancakes are clearly based on Betty and Bob Newbie. Yes you can build the roller coasters I've never done one though. Legitimately the actors were making it up as they went along in The Sims 1. In future Generations they actually work from a script, but in the original they were literally just doing Improv. It was barely did you figure out that there's no pregnancy in The Sims 1? I've recreated all of the Sims 1 Neighbors in The Sims 4. It looks right in Willow Creek and newcrest since Unleashed is new orleans-themed and Willow Creek is New Orleans theme. Relationship building is so much harder in The Sims 1. Prank calls don't mean anything. And yes you can raise your relationship while watching TV together. You cannot do the same interaction more than twice in a certain amount of time I believe it is 90 minutes but I can't say that for sure. The only interaction they don't get bored with his talking unless of course you don't have common interests. Leroy is Elden's dog. The sound effect for burglar and skunk is the same so it's probably a skunk on the lot. A 100 baby challenge isn't possible because they cannot have a baby with a non-resident. So you would have to move them in and then kill them because there's no way to move them out.

100 baby challenge? I don’t think the kids ever age up in this one 🤣😅

The Newbies are definitely who they based Bob and Eliza on (IMO). Betty and Eliza are both Elizabeth. They are the tutorial family

I'd LOVE to see Kelsey do a "Sims:Bustin out!" play through.

Kelsey is the perfect mix of childfriendly and an amazing sense of humor

Stop, Kelsey, stop! I can’t stop giggling and I’m at work and people are gonna think I’m crazy but Chelsea and the vibrating bed and Bella …. OMG frickin hysterical!!!! 😂 you’re the best!

kelsey: I'm gonna make chelsey get pregnant me: oh sweet summer child

The memories of this game. I loved the Sims 1.

I started playing the Sims 1 when it first came out in 2000. A co-worker showed it to me and I was hooked from the start. Hard to believe that I have been playing this game for 23 years

Sims in TS1 are really picky about when and where they want to flirt/kiss/etc--try getting the Sim into a room with a high Room score, having food ready for them when they arrive (you did that), and having them sit down for a bit so their comfort goes up. It's much harder to woo people in this game, especially because sims get cranky if you repeat the same interaction too many times unlike in the later games. Also, there's no Woohoo in TS1, but you can click that bed and select "play in bed!"

The amount of times my jaw dropped during this video was insane 😂 Thanks for sharing the Sims 1! I never played it but I distinctly remember going to a girl's house in freshman year of highschool and she showed me the white mansion she built, making me go to the mall and buy the Sims 2 with my cousin. Virginia, wherever you are, hope you're doing well and thanks for introducing me to the Sims lmao.

You wouldn’t be able to do the 100 baby challenge in Sims 1 because the children do not age past childhood. They just stay in your house forever.

That music in build/buy really brought back some nostalgia 🥲 I’m 31 and have played almost every game since Sims 1 released 🥲🥲 I LOVE watching you play the old games, please do this more often ❤️❤️

I was 19 or 20 when The Sims came out. It took me FOREVER to get to a point in the game where my sims weren’t just crying or dying all the time 😂 also, sims don’t get pregnant in The Sims; you have to passionately kiss three times and then a bassinet appears. It was a different time lol

I was a teen when Sims 1 came out, and I spent hours playing it! I've been a fan of every Sims version, but I haven't seen it in action for years!

This reminds me a lot of my childhood with my sister. We will play this after school, freakout over a burgular, go crazy with the plot. Good old days ❤

I loved the Sims OG, spent so much time with it back in the day, had all the expansions, that were lost to time sadly

The rollercoasters and carnival 🎡 is actually such an amazing idea. No wonder sims 1 players want this in sims 4 😂

This is so funny to me, I played the Sims 1 for years as a child and jumped all the way to Sims 4 as an adult a couple years ago!

I think this is a brilliant video idea, as someone who was a toddler when sims 1 came out, I would love to get a copy and try this out one day! ❤

My best friend borrowed the Sims basegame from another friend when it had just been released. We played it one afternoon and I asked my dad to go get the game for me right after. It literally cost me every cent I had. This was before Euros were a thing. 😅 I never looked back, got every sims pack released after. The Sims 2 is my fave. So wild and deep. There are dragons in The Sims 3 with one of the Store worlds. The medieval one.

Getting someone to marry you is SO tough in this game you basically need to ask them the second you see them and not give them chance to be unhappy for ANY slight reason 😂 I remember trying to cheat it using genie lamps

Sadly, a sims 1 100 baby challenge is doomed from the start. I believe the only way you can have a baby is if both parents are in the household. There's no pregnancy, you just passionately kiss over and over until they ask if they should have a baby(or play in the heart bed or heart hot tub until they ask). And the kids don't age up after turning from baby into child. They're children forever.

It was a different time. Continuous kissing then all a sudden you have a baby 😂 Hot Date was the best pack

The cover photo of Sims 1 in your screenshot is so nostalgic. I remember seeing it at my local electronics store when I was 13 in 2000 and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

I still have a vivid soundbite in my head of the sound sims made when they were reading. It was a very particular little "hm hm hm" tune on a loop 😂 but not very musical, it just had very specific up and down tones. I have been obsessed with every version of this game over time! I adored Sims Medieval 👌 once you've played sims 4 none of the others feel right any more though...

I remember going over to a friends house and we'd take turns playing because my parents wouldn't let me have it, specifically because of the "adult" stuff and the sheer amount of space it took up on the computer lol

This Video unlocks soo many memories. I loved this game so much. Thank you Kelsey for this Video!

The key to relationships in Sims one is variety of interactions. You can't spam the same ones over and over like in Sim 4.

Love this! I remember this well, I was 10 when The Sims came out and was instantly hooked, I've been playing ever since 💚

Building, and especially maintaining, friendships in the Sims 1 was an absolute nightmare grind, made worse by the fact that literally EVERY SINGLE CAREER required a certain number of family friends in order to get promotions, to the point where having the higher level of a career meant coming home from work, getting your needs up as quickly as possible, and then spending the entire rest of your day calling people over to keep your friendships at the correct levels to maintain your career level before going to sleep and doing it all again the next day.

I loveee your chaotic energy so much!!!❤

My friend had Sims 1 and I played at her house a few times. I was so fascinated that you could make whoever you want and do whatever you want! I bought the Sims 2 Deluxe Edition in like 2006 or 2007 with some birthday money. I would turn down the game music all the way and listen to the Jonas Brothers CD on repeat while I played 😅

I have been waiting for this video forever

I’ve been playing the sims 1 recently, and it is fun playing it. Pretty nostalgic, especially social interactions, grabbing a newspaper to get a job, and bonehilda. 💚

I only ever played the pet expansion for Sims 1 with a cousin. My mother never let me have the Sims personally so that was my only exposure. Cut to years later where I played the heck out of Sims 2 and then Sims 3 was mind blowing because of the open neighborhood concept. That is when it didn't absolutely collapse in on itself because of the open neighborhoods lol.

I definitely played Sims 1 when it first came out and this brought back so many memories!

Oh my god. I was laughing through this whole video. So funny and fun!

I love this! Im binge wat hing your sims playing video's for a few weeka right now and i loooove it. Even though i never played sims 4! (or 3 of 5, btw). I played the sims 1 soo much when i was a teen (i was 10 when it was released) and im pretty sure ive played 2 Also. So im exited about this video!

This was the funniest video ever! We need more of Kelsey playing Sims 1 😂

As awesome as The Sims was, it was also frustratingly hard sometimes. 😂

Blast from the past!!🎉 I forgot about all the cool lots they had back then like the roller coaster and the magic realm❤

The aesthetic and the soundtrack and the humor of Sims 1 is something I would do anything to bring back.

Kelsey you are hilarious. Love your sense of humor! You now have a new follower.

that’s so iconic to be able to call yourself a professional sim player

😮😮😮 I would love to play sims 1 again sometime I totally don’t remember it as much as I thought I would

“I’m gonna go vibrate in my new pink bed.” 💀

I have played every iteration of the Sims, every expansion pack. I played The Sims 1 to DEATH 😂 The second you said you were going to spam the two things he liked over and over, a memory was unlocked and I just said, "NOOOO he's gonna get tired of that!" 🤣🤣🤣 also the blow up couch and the flower rug were in every single house I made, I'm so sure.

it was so fun watching you struggle like this... oh the memories. I was 18 and I bought all the extensions. I've spent so many hours on this game lol the vibrating bed, i forgot about that. it needs to come back on the sims 4

This was so cool. I need to see more😂

Omg this brought back so much nostalgia😂 this game was lit back in the day! Poor Kelsey, you were probably so annoyed lol

I do miss Magic Town. [I'm old enough to still regularly play TS2 as the "main sims game"]. I was a CRPG player but I still loved TS, esp. with my young family (my youngest child was born in 2001). This reminds me of being heavily pregnant and sitting my tod on my knee as I played while my older kids did their homework (such as it was). many of those wallpapers/tiles have been reproduced in all 3 of the following games, yes.

The Sims 1 was my intro to video games at 18 years old lol. I remember there wasn't woohoo, the Sims just kissed until a pop up asks if you want to have a baby and the bassinet appears! It was cool to see the making magic content, since I skipped that pack knowing Sims 2 was coming out and I wasn't really into magic then.

I started playing this when it first came out. Addicted from the start

OMG, I thought I had forgotten Sims 1, but this brought back so many memories!!! I want to play again! I think that the magic expansion pack in that one is still my favorite! And the newspapers... sigh...

I would play the sims 1 so hard!! My neighbor had the game on CD so I’d borrow it from her all the time!

Kelsey youre my fav sims 4 player keep going ur very talented!

Omg there's so much nostalgia in this video for me! I played SOOOOO many hours of the Sims 1!

Man this takes me back! I haven't played the Sims 1 since elementary school so a good 20 or so years ago!

I have so many memories playing Sims 1. I'm 37 now i was 13/14 when i started playing. I remember staying up all night on the weekends. Sneaking into our computer room late at night to play lol . Can't believe its be that long. wow!

Tomorrow is my birthday! I absolutely love watching you play! I love the sims! ❤️❤️❤️

Friendships alone were sooo much harder in the Sims let alone relationships. I did find though that if my sims needs were higher the better they got along and of course not rushing into romantic interactions. This game and sims 2 were exhausting. But they still hold a special place in my heart ♥️ 😅

"Not the cat I thought he'd be pettin' tonight!" 🤣

I loved the magic on the Sims, you can actually collect stuff to do magic with, but one of my favorite Sims game was CASTAWAY I would loooove to watch you playing that one, you are on a island and need to learn to fish, gather resources to build a shelter and learn how to make your clothes and food.... its so cool, I would love a updated version of this, I think was only for Playstation

😂 This brought back so many memories. Especially the vibration function, which just means massage. I also totally forgot about the fact that baby just appears after a time.

Oooo babies are so difficult in the sims... I’m enjoying you exploring this. I too was just a child when I played. All babies I adopted were taken straight away! And to find a job you have to read the newspaper and only a few jobs pop up each day!

I have a vague memory of wohoo working like this: You make the bed vibrate, THEN you can wohoo, either by clicking the bed again or clicking the other sim. I think it worked like that at least

sims 1 came out on my third birthday, so i never actually played it. but i have a distinct memory of my family going over to my dad's friend's house when i was a little older, and this friend's kids were like 5-10 years older than me, and they took me to their super sweet basement computer setup and played sims while i just watched fascinated with no idea what was going on but it just looked SO cool. but because of the T rating my mom wouldn't let me and my sister get it. wasn't til like middle school that she finally let us get sims 2, which wasn't brand new then but was still the newest game. loved that so much. i do kind of wonder what it would feel like to actually play sims 1 tho, cuz i've still only ever watched, even like with this video lol. i just wanna know if i could handle the chaos or not

Wholly cow this brought back so many memories

LOL about, "Not the cat I thought he'd be petting tonight". Good one!

ohhh I can clearly remember my first experience with Sims... summer holiday at lake Balaton (I'm Hungarian) with my cousins...they showed it to me.... and I don't know how old I was - probably really young - because my older cousin had to type in 'rosebud' in every time I ran out of money because I couldn't even memorise that one word :DDDD

So to get the sims to be your friend/date, you have to keep them happy by cooking, and entertaining your guests. If not they will hate all interactions with you. 😂

My first one was "The Sims" for PS2. It had more of a story you play through and was super fun to play with my sister. It also became an instant obsession and I've been playing the Sims in its many forms since 2001. I never played "Sims 1" though.

Omg this is the nostalgic hit i neeeeeded ✨️

Hahaha This brings back memories of playing this when it first came out. My cousin and I would make our celeb crushes and try to get married. It was SO HARD to make romantic relationships and keep your sim happy.

I used to put up single wall panels at the corners of my lot to put burglar alarms on in Sims 1 because if you put the alarm inside, the burglar will steal your stuff before the cops get there.

This is brining back all of my frustrations of getting sims to be a couple in the first Sims 😂

This was my introduction to the Sims!!! I have been playing since the first sims when they came on CD’s and I had everyone😊 before you could have kids and it was just supposed to be a build and play game no story lines or anything! It was so basic and had mini games on the upload screen😊

Sims 1 was hard 😂 I love the random doom phone call of “I’m coming for you” and I remember when multitasking interactions became a thing and it was such an upgrade

I didn't get the expansion packs, but this still brought back SO many memories!!! I was an adult when they made the game. If I had known there were dragons, I never would have stopped playing!

This is what I been missing in all the Sims games number 2, 3 and 4. The dragons from the Sims 1!. Per se the whole magic interactions decor and all from the Sims 1 I been missing. It was amazing!. I wish there was an expansion game or so as similar as magic in Sims 1 with all those interactions and more.

Oh my God. This is bringing back so many memories!!!! Like Sims 4 pls bring back astrology. Also the picture-in-picture is kinda slay and like so useful? Instead of the game panning to a scene just show me a lil snippet

I grew up playing the first Sims game. This brought back so many memories 😂

I would love to watch you do another seasonal fixer upper rags to riches storyline with buffy the vampire slayer being in the story line, (like you had mariah carry for the Christmas one). That Christmas fixer upper contest was my favorite and I love your videos! I watch all your content. I love how you play. Thank you for what you do! ❤

Love your videos

This is why most simmers have such high expectations for the current game and how money hungry they have become 🤧 I remember playing this at night all the time at my aunts house. I would play until the sun came up in the summer time. This is the route of my clown phobia 😭 the sad clown would run after my sim crying and it was so dark in the room except for the computer light 💀 I’m 25 now and still scared of them lol. Thanks for this video bringing back some good memories 🥹🤍

im glad im not the only one that gets spooked by this games sounds 😂😂

OMG this is awesome and so nostalgic. I wanna play The Sims 1 now! 😍
