The sheer balls of using 3x speed in an 8 sim house in the sims 1. Kevin truly is a strategic genius.

Sims is a cornerstone of Kevin's channel. No matter how long, Kevin will always come back to The Sims

The fact Kevin thought they wouldn't let kids die in a game of that era but doesn't realize this is the ONLY Sims game where kids died of hunger....and the screams they let out always gave me the chills

I love how Kevin's clear favourite was Ralph. He definitely has a type, and that type is "Old Man Does Crime."

Very random challenge idea: Make a household of 4 identical sims, each of them is supposed to have their own job and relations but because they look identical you're constantly at risk of making them learn skills for each other's jobs or stealing away each other's relationships. For an extra challenge, you could only allow one of them to leave the house at a time to fool the neighbours into thinking it's just one guy multitasking 4 jobs and 4 relationships.

Ralph being the designated main character makes sense since Kevin insists on playing as a weird old man.

Ahhhh yes. Curled up with a blanket in front of a fire and watching Kevin destroy another family in the Sims. There's nothing like it. I hope there's a basement scene.

I love how this whole playthrough feels like Kevin is some kind of life sim sports commentator "Is anyone doing well at their job right now? Poor, poor poor, AVERAGE! That's pretty good. Go Randy!"

*I always thought the slogan of this game should have been: **_You think life is hard, try playing the Sims 1!_*

My favorite thing is that one characters name is 'Nerd', yet Jessica seems like the most abnormal name in this household. Kevin is a household naming genius.

The key to Sims 1 friendship is endless talking about interests, with some compliments sprinkled in. Also, the maid is the worst! She won’t clean dishes unless you have a dishwasher

Sims 1 always gave me wild expectations about real life when I was a kid. Because of this game, I thought you could build walls on property you own, and call it a house. And then add floors at a later date. Even if you already have counters and appliances set up in the "home." 😂 Edit: what I mean to say is, boy was my mind blown away when my mom told me you couldn't live in a house without proper foundation.

Sims 1 is the most difficult to have a full household in, this was just a mess. Congrats to Dennis and Rose for getting out of there! Hopefully military school isn't as stressful as this household was, lol

I live for Kevin’s sims content…especially a game as chaotic as the first (without even trying!)

Sorry the fact Karen’s “evil” clone just decided to leave immediately because it was too late made me laugh 😂 she truly was the good one after all.

27 minutes and 36 seconds of Kevin yelling ‘Jessica’ and me guiltily looking up from my phone to my TV like I’ve been chastised for something.

I am a simple woman; Kevin posts a sim video, I like the moment it’s posted without watching it all the way cuz I already know it’s going to be glorious. Balanced and simple as all should be.

None of the cheapest beds in the other sims games have ever captured the sheer discomfort that comes with those brown, lumpy sims 1 beds. They are the perfect complement to Kevin's inevitably making a sims barracks in every challenge

Kevin, you've got to fill the neighbourhood with dummy families so that there's a bigger pool of sims that you can be friends with

Sims1 being hella quirky and Kevin's unique way of playing games is a perfect match

I can only endorse any remark about how brutally hard Sims 1 is, even in normal organic gameplay without challenges.

SOMEHOW watching Kev playing the sims makes me feel like my life is more put together 😂

Kevin has shown time and time again that Sims 1 isn't a simulation game, it's a deadly game of strategy.

i like how he tries to have a 8 family house then almost immediately looses 2 of them to military school

I love Kevin's sims videos. I had brain surgery recently, and I would curl up in my hospital bed and watch your videos, Kevin. They always put me at ease believe it or not.

I love how all the stray cats coming through the door beads seem to become the keystone of every party

I Just wanted to Say thank you Kevin for all these years you’ve helped me get through a lot and I watch you daily again thank you for everything!

Kevin - *succeeds* Also Kevin - *BURNS THE SUCCESS*

Kevin's Sims will forever be my favorite. I can't wait to see how Kevin and Jim destroy the new horse ranch pack!

6:49 "Maybe you should think twice about opening the door." And to *that* Kevin's response is...throw a party. It's almost like he's trying to get everyone killed!

This family of six dysfunctional adults deserves "friends" opening song!

Hey Kevin, you look absolutely tired there. I hope it’s only the light. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for your hard work!

Call me Kevin playing the sim is just a whole different feeling watching him play.

Ralph is honestly a total mood throughout this whole thing. House on fire? Go hide in the shower. Life a mess? Go watch TV. Need cash? Make meth

Like a moth to a flame. Kevin will never escape the Sims😂

Only Kevin has the ability to make a 23 year old game still relevant and enjoyable in 2023.

Give them alarm clocks, that'll wake them up before work. But you still have to make sure they're not yelling at a chair instead of getting out of the house and into the car. xD

Kevin playing any Sims game is always pure gold 🏅🏅

i can just imagine the two kids who got sent to military school coming back to find out their whole family and someone's wife died in a housefire and thinking "yep thats about right"

I literally forgot that this game came out TWENTY-THREE FREAKIN years ago! And it aged really well considering...

It feels illegal to be this early. I've been binging Kevin's Sims series for like 3 months now every one is a banger. Kevin's level of chaos is what I aspire to.

I've spent a good chunk of my day at work looking forward to watching some CMK, the instant I get home my favourite brand of Kevin chaos is uploaded. I knew today was gonna be a good day

The last time i did an 8 sim family, it also ended with using rugs to ignite a house-consuming fire It's nice to see kevin's run ended the same

I have been sick with food poisoning all day and watching Kevin's videos has really kept my mood up. It's like having a friend there to talk to you when you're down. Keep up the awesome work Kevin 🥹 me and my husband love your content ❤

You look tired, Kevin. Are you doing okay? I love your sims content. Just make sure you're giving yourself a break. Nothing but well wishes to you always

Kevin, you look really sick... I hope you are okay and doing well. We worry about you - Thank you for still producing videos for us

Six years of Sims and the chaos is still funky fresh. Truly inspiring Kevin.

kevin is actually getting kinda good at sims 1, first he needed the rejuvenator just to take care of one sim, and now he's handling 6 with (some) success. ngl i'm a little impressed

I admire how Kevin is able to talk(speedily) non stop as he plays without missing a beat lol

"How do you make friends in this game?" He says after growling at the person he's trying to make friends with 😂

knowing how kevin normally treats his sims characters, this will go well right?!... right

One of the few times Kevin has played the game as intended, mostly

Kevin, I gotta say I appreciate when you add those little captions to the video. It’s really helpful as a hard of hearing viewer- tysm for your detail within ur chaotic vids.

I love how he constantly blames the Sims for doing stupid things but he himself never actually uses the PAUSE feature to plan out their actions ahead of time

One tip: Beautify the place so you’ll always have 1 bar full. And using pictures helps to not take up floor space. It helps their mood lol.

i will NEVER grow tired of kevin's sims videos, even sims 4 which says a fucking lot. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH

I have not finished the video yet. I'm going to preemptively predict Nerd will do the best and I'm rooting for him! Edit: I chose correctly.

I'm really happy for the new video, but at the same time I'm worried because Kevin seems more tired than usual. Kevin, if you see this, remember to not push yourself too much. -A fan who always forgets to comment

Kevin: How do you make friends in this game?! Also Kevin: *growls at random people*

Kevin is a family-oriented genius

I only played the Sims one growing up. So it's always a special treat when Kevin plays 😁

Sims 1 plus Kevin is such a perfect combo, I'd love to see you go back and explore some of the other weird stuff in this game, like the cake dancers and Drew Carey popping up.

Those kids dodged a bullet getting sent to military school. XD

Ahh yes. The reason I found Kevin. Sims 1 & 2 😮. Forever grateful to have found such a Sims Genius years ago. I’ve been watching since zombie Vidcund & the cursed babies. 😂

a hottub is my lifehack for getting sims married. it give them social fun hygiene and comfort

sims and Kevin means great content for us!

The Sims 1 but the kids get shipped off to military school almost immediately

"Why does the potion keep being consumed by the wrong sim?" Kevin asks, running the game at 3x speed with free will turned on.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the video! I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but I hope you're doing okay health-wise. Your face is looking a little thin and your eyes look a little tired and baggy in the video (it might just be the lighting, though). Please take care of yourself and don't feel pressure to keep making content if you're not feeling well. We'll all be waiting for you to come back if you need a break :)

it’s been ages since I played Sims 1 but, I think the game has an alarm clock to help you not miss work.

I'd applaud any house I could afford too 😂

Welp you know what they say, "it's easy raising a family when the kids get shipped off to military school for poor grades and neglect." Ahhh, childhood.

30 minutes of Kevin playing The Sims 1 with eight people this is going to be crazy

kevin takes such good care of his little virtual prisoners

“look at randy go as a bungee jumping instructor. one day he’s just not gonna come back” almost choked on my food 😂

When I first got the Sims I only had the game itself and Livin' Large. Much later I bought the complete collection that had all the expansion packs. I think one of the packs (probably Hot Date) makes it MUCH harder to make friends/get them married. etc. It adds a lot more options for interactions but also makes them much more particular about who they'll befriend. Having others watch your Sim play guitar and have people get in the hot tub together increase the relationship points but neither technique works as well after the additional expansion packs.

"i struggle to just keep my person sane and alive" -kevin talking to his therapist

I cant wait to see what Kevin does with the upcoming horse pack

Kevin really has the capabilities to take care of this family of 8

this ended so poetically. once again thank you kevin for your chaotic sims videos that bring everyone peace!

Imagine a world in which all households have a personal deity that presides over them and their home and will just mouth off at their charges; that world is the Sims.

I love your stuff, Kevin! I just wanted to point out that Your latest video has over 2.2k more likes than the latest Game Grumps video! That's super awesome! I'm glad that your fan base is growing so much. I wish you nothing but the best. Now let's see what torture you suffer/dole out today....

Kevin trying to stop Jessica from throwing away the newspaper has me weak 🤣

well, there's 8 sims and 5 beds. off to a wonderful start lmao

To Kevin: You have been an inspiration to me, and I’m just now realizing it. You taught me through your videos that being awkward is nothing to shame yourself about, and that you can always use it to your advantage. So thank you

Your longform Sims content is always super fun, especially with the older games! Not that I don't love Jim Pickens, our Dear Leader.

Just seeing the Sims 1 instantly transports me back to my childhood, damn.

How many times have you watch this? Me: yes. Sometimes i just play it in the background when i’m drawing just to hear the jokes again 😂

I know it's a relatively old game but i'd like to see Kevin playing Miss Fortune choosing the worst options, just like he did on the quarry. It'd fun!

Kevin and goals are funny because we all now he is gonna get sidetracked 😂

You either die a hero or live long enough to piss yourself! - Probably Kevin

Kevin, eternally not buying a $50 fire alarm

Kevin uploading the sims is always a W

Kevin is the best KZfaqr period always keeping us entertained he deserves the world ❤

I have played The Sims games since it came out over 20 years ago when I was in middle school. It took me a bit of playing with just one Sim, then moved to one of the other households with like 3-4 people. It got to a point I could do 8 people households, with or without pets, on 3 speed. By the time Sims 2 and Sims 3 came out, 8 member households on 3 speed flowed naturally (though, I do use the free will setting, which is very helpful, until they start doing dumb crap and I have to fix it LOL). I have tried Sims 4 but I really don't like it, so I only play Sims 3. I commend you for jumping right in to an 8 member household when 1 Sim is a challenge for you. My husband will not touch my Sims 3. He said he could never keep his Sim alive for a day in Sims 1 that he gave up on Sims all together hahaha.

Hey! There's this sims 2 game on the old DS , where you become the owner of a strangervile hotel, the whole story is wack, the only good way to make money is by gambling, there's alien invasions, a cow cult, the king of mole people, the mafia who probably killed the 1st Mayer and you become 'rat'man

Kevin; * doesnt buy a sink* Also Kevin: * confused about the dirty dishes and bugs*

Kevin, the greatest person to take care a family of 8.

The sims 1 and 2 are my absolute favorite videos from Kevin

Is Kevin ok? He looks so unwell :(
