The Sims holds a special place in my heart with how many hours I dumped into it in the past. Watching all of the vids compiled into one neat movie marathon combined with your exquisite narration transports me back to a much simpler time. Thank you for the vids!

Sim 1 is painful for me. I remember getting it at launch, installing it on my windows 98 amd k series CPU with I think a voodoo card, and the game inevitably crashing somewhere between 10 and 60 minutes - being so heart broken and desperate to play this game.

That 'Zero Dollar Start' reminds me of something I used to do in the Ps2 version of Sims 2. Make a scraggly character, build a 3x3, broken shack with naught but a moldy couch dragged in off the street, then run the money out buying dirt and gravel ground tiles. He'd spend his days sitting on the couch, waiting for his entry level job and struggling to fill motives until he could finally, _finally_ afford music player or drag a urinal in from...somewhere. Eventually, the menial labor nets him enough to fix the shack's broken windows, buy a plank of wood to use as a door, and even afford a small table. As this was the Ps2 version, his food needs were usually met by eating the couch stuffing, so he was at least okay on that front. He worked as a painter, so was later able to sneak paint supplies from work to paint the walls at least a little.

I have very vivid memories of buying The Sims 1 in early 2000. This was a time before it was convenient to read things like game reviews and previews. I loved the game SimTown (does anyone even remember that game?), saw a game called The Sims by the same developers at a Best Buy, and bought it on a whim. I did all of my homework either during my lunch break or on the bus ride home so I could play The Sims until bedtime every day for weeks on end. Why is it so hard to make friends?! Love all of your Sims videos, it's a total nostalgia trip for me!

I love your videos on The OG Sims because they really play on the poetic nature of the game compared to the later games. Beyond Will Wright's basic life-sim was the commentary on consumerism that you sardonically capture in your challenges. Working your way up to buy newer, better, more expensive stuff to keep your Sims happy, leveling them up to reach arbitrary goals so they can make more money, preventing all the stuff you have from being robbed or breaking down, creepy stuff like clowns and genie lamps and ghosts; your videos really tackle the essence of what Sims 1 is all about, and I love it.

The Sims 1 was the first game I got on my first laptop. I didn’t have a dedicated GPU in it, which apparently meant the game couldn’t render the roofs. Which was tolerable. There was a decent community online for it where you could download additional items and outfits. EA made sure to kill those options in later versions. I didn’t realize I needed the discs. I wonder if I still have mine.
