Seeing her slowly figure it all out is so endearing 😂 been playing myself for 10+ years and follow so many sims creators on KZfaq it blows my mine that sims can be a new experience for some... I can totally see how the whole thing can be too overwhelming for new players

Just FYI the snow one with skiing and stuff is actually Japan DLC in disguise, it's all japanese themed if you're down for that, get a kotatsu to chill at while drinking tea

gab smolders: "OMG THERES SO MANY OPTIONS" lilsimsie: "this is trash."

I wasn’t expecting this but I’m here for it. Stardew in the Sims.

This is so wholesome. I’ve played sims since I was a kid so it’s so interesting seeing a gamer play the sims for the first time. “How do I walk?” actually made me laugh because I didn’t even think about how the controls for the sims are unlike any of the games Gabs is used to 😅 bless this new series.

I’m watching this next to my sleeping hubby, and when you said that you can make cheese out of the milk, he said to me in his sleep “that’s so nice for your friend” 😂😂

You can lecture BB about eating trash and the chicken food outside. So he stops eating it and throwing up lol

-Did you get it?(Sims 4) -Yes -What did it cost? -$559.56

Welcome to the sims where you spend two days making a sim and 3 more making the house!!! Woohooo!!!

When you were creating BB and trying out the different voices for him, my Siberian kitten moved closer to my screen and started pawing at him as he meowed.

Apparently they based this pack on the Cotswolds in England, and as someone that lives there I think they've done a pretty good job! Goobers and BB are the absolute cutest too 💕

I would love to see Gab try to recreate her sims outfits using hers and Sean’s closets? Because she does look killer in men’s clothes!

"Goobers" actually sounds like a Simlish word.

It's so weird to see someone who never played the game before. 😂 Gab is so confused. I'm so excited for this playthrough. It's gonna be fun!

This stream was such a delight. And it is such a right of passage to set yourself on fire on your first Sims to play through experience.

i’m really glad you’re playing with this pack since your stardew valley playthrough is one of my comfort series :)

I was hoping Sean would play this again but my prayers were answered my another😂 IM TOTALLY OKAY WITH IT❤️

"Is that Gab Smolders playing the sims 4", those were my words after clearing my notifications away. I had to come back to KZfaq to see this. Awe, I wish jack would play sims again, I loved his series and watch it all the time while playing myself

Gab's laugh (51:23) and her Sim's laugh (51:26) are eerily similar.

As someone who literally grew up on sims, It’s so interesting to see someone play it for the very first time! Ah I hope you have fun

It's so weird, but at the same time pretty cool, to see someone experience The Sims for the first time lol. There's definitely a learning curve, but eventually it will all come naturally to you

As an avid sims player, it is so wholesome to see someone playing it for the first time. I wish I could go back and experience that feeling again!

Watching a sim newb is cute especially it being Gab shes already adorable. Been playing sims for over 20 years.

i never realised how confusing sims really was until looking at it from a new persons perspective lmaaooo you'll get used to it goob

As someone who has never played the Sims but enjoys watching people play, it's nice that I get to learn along with you what all the controls mean xD

Gab trying to figure out the sims 4 is life to me 😂💖

I hope you continue this because this is so fun! Also, as a bunny owner, those rabbits are TOO friendly. When I got my bunny, he was terrified and traumatised. He loves me now though.

Sims is one of my favorite games ever, my gosh so stressful watching this and wanting to show her how to do things in CAS. I am stoked for this! I hope you enjoy this game!!

You can disable the setting where your sims do things automatically. Stop reading books Goobers!

Try clicking in one of the lights and set them all for automatic. At the end of the month you have to pay for how long they were on so this saves money.

This feels exactly like when Sean played minecraft for the first time. As a long time sims player, I've been nit picking the Sims 4 for as long as I can remember. Seeing Gab come in to it brand new is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for this Gabs 💚

THIS IS GOING TO BE SUPER COMFY! CANT WAIT FOR THE CRAZY ADVENTURES YOURE GOING TO HAVE XD

The simmer in me is very happy about this! I've played The Sims since the very first game and I love seeing you play this as well - yes there is a lot to learn but that's part of the fun, finding all the secrets and things you can do

Goddamn. Gab's out here playing every game genre possible.

I’ve never clicked so fast!!!

the cat might actually be the best thing in the whole video. Hahhh...my heart ♥

Gabs! A super fun date idea for you and Sean would be making each other outfits on sims and then bringing them to life, whether you go in person to find the items or just order them online and have a try-on haul! I want to do it so bad lol

I’ve been playing Sims since Sims 1 and omg watching someone play it for the first time is crazy! I forget how much you need to know/learn over time. Been playing for 15 years 😅

The character creation is like cosplay but in reverse, making your Sim look like you. 😊

Tip! You can go up and down with the camera as well, but you will need to switch to the sims 3 camera in the options. It's much better to work with in most people's opinions.

OMGGG SIMS 4!!! YAAAY! I miss playing it so much. The mods was so funny.😂😂😂🥺😭💓💓

OH MY GOODNESS! The entire intro of the character customization has me cracking up so much. When you switched the eyes from blue to dark and it went to full on Goobers. So funny! This is gonna be a fun series to watch! Enjoy the game, Gab!

I remember Gab talking about this, but I didn't know when she was going to start uploading this new series... (There are LOTS of things to keep an eye on...)

Omg Yes a Brand New Series For Gab, LET'S GO!

it's so sweet to see Gab being excited about Sims 4, i find it enjoyable, but it's rare that i see people on the internet just enjoy exploring it for the first time. really brings me back

First of all I’ve never seen Someone just create themselves so perfectly haha! Also I’d recommend switching the needs off so you can focus more on the art and crafts and animals 🥰🥰

that sim looks just like you 😂

Deligracy has nice short tutorials on how to start playing Sims!!! it can help you a lot i think

I can't even imagine discovering sims for the first time. I feel like I've been playing it for as long as I can remember so this was truly an enjoyable experience :D

As someone who is AFAB (female at birth) and is non binary, it's so lovely to see the refreshing take on girls looking hot in guys clothes. It makes me feel much more comfortable supporting a more masc look and being confident in my style choice. It's also lovely to see tattoos, strong bodies and guys clothes be looked at as good things on girls 💪 You're just pretty awesome

You would not believe how much cows love getting bathed and brushed IRL. They can actually be dangerous afterward, because they feel so good that they get playful and have basically the zoomies...so they could accidentally trample you.

If you're ever stuck in the sims and what you could do, I recommend you to watch James Turner and Deligracy for a lot of inspo but mainly anything you wanna do for you sims you click that feature (change lips, click lips, change face shape click cheek, etc)

OK! I don't know where to start to say how much I love this video. From the fact that Gab's avatar looks like her, to the gameplay, and BB!.... Everything is just way too awesome and cute. I am just in love here!!!

I've just hit almost 2000 hours in Sims 4, I only have maybe a fifth of the packs but this game is one of my comfort games 💖 I hope you enjoy!

Gabby playing the sims? I'm shook and delighted

As someone who played ONLY the Sims and no other games EVER, I finally understand how frustrating it is for other gamers to watch someone figure out a new game for the first time

This is so wholesome :) a breath of fresh air after binging the Jim Pickens storyline the past week

It's been a while since I watched a Sims 4 playthrough. I'd forgotten how utterly insane the sims themselves are x3 Standing in the same spot doing nothing for hours, throwing stuff on the floor because the bins need to be emptied, talking to themselves, pouring cake mix straight into ovens, taking angry dumps, burying whole mushrooms, etc. This game is pure entropy and I sort of can't help but admire it.

i have been watching lots of simmer youtube and seeing a non-simmer playing the sims is such a refreshing sight!!

I'm so used to callmekevin's style of playing sims 😂😂 so this is so refreshing

I love that you are giving the Sims here a chance Gabs. It's not for all people. I like creating characters (even one like me, and people I know) and then building places from my past and yeah places I know (I have a habit of memorizing places I live in)... all of that. It's lego in a very minimal state and so much more after. It's a building and creating experience for sure. PS: You might get addicted to this if you like creating. :)

gab you have no idea how happy and excited i am that you're playing the sims 4!! i love this game and i loveeeeed watching your animal crossing streams so i'm very very excited for what comes next

Just some tips you can click and drag food from your inventory to the fridge just like you did with the pizza putting it in your inventory. To improve skills you can learn by reading books or doing that skill to level up and the max skill level is 10. I've played all the Sims games my whole life and watched a lot of other Sims 4 videos and recently finally started playing it myself. I'm so happy to see you play Sims I love it.

Gab high key roasting that kid is sending me.

I'm so excited you're playing the sims! I can't wait for your Paranormal playthrough. 💜💜 🐱

I haven't finished the video yet and IDK if anyone else said anything, but in your settings menu, you can change your camera controls from sims 4 camera to sims 3 camera and those controls are much better imo. So excited you're playing Sims!

Gabs being new to the sims is serious SO entertaining! She somehow made the mundane tasks so interesting!!

this makes me so happyyy

I have never seen a youtuber play the sims for the first time. It is a BONKERS game but it does get kinda dull after a while. I really hope Gab has fun and really enjoys it.

Don't forget you can also do nails and toenails if you wish! They released a new update!

I'd love to see a video of you buying clothes online to match your Sim and do a photoshoot

Side note and a separate note apart from my last... please do more... even if you don't record and post, have fun in your own time for sure! The Sims is underrated and is absolutely fun to play and watch, at least for me. I like a lot.

I’ve been playing the sims for like 16 years and even some of this is a little overwhelming haha. Most games are nowadays until you get used to them. I love it though ❤️

As someone who has played the sims pretty much their whole life, watching Gab struggle with the game brings me the utmost joy 🤣🤣

Seeing someone play for their first time is so much fun!! And also...makes you realize how weird things that happen in Sims can be. I've played since it came out in 2000 so I'm super excited to see you learn, Gab! There is a LOT and it is overwhelming but there's TONS of help here on KZfaq!

did NOT expect gab to play sims 4. i have a love-hate when it comes to sims 4 but i'm excited for this new series of your channel!

Please do more of these. ❤ I love watching people play the sims more than I like actually playing the sims. Maybe I'll make my own sims let's play one day. 😁

its so neat to see a first time player as someone who has been playing since sims 1 sdkjfshfksjdfshk I hope its not too overwhelming and that you have a good time!

Spoilers ahead: Oh I love this game so much ( had played it since sims 2) and to watch you played it with so little experience but with so much fun, it is so adorable and endearing, gab! Thanks for playing this! I am happy that you have fun with it too.. At the end of the vid is so funny too! LMAO!! Your commentery when your sim showed her inadequate cooking skill and consequently set herself on fire, they were so funny! Thank you, gab!

When the fire started I was like.... Oh yes, welcome to the Sims, we have pets, chickens, cows, llamas and FIRE OUT OF NOWHERE. You will love it.

I loved the Sims when I was younger and seeing you play for the first time was a delight! Had so much fun! Can’t wait for more!

Loved this. It was so fun watching you figure everything out. I can't wait to see what else you decide to do. Just a tip, buy the expensive white trash can - it gives you money everytime something is thrown away + it doesn't need to be emptied. The expensive cat shaped litter box doesn't need to be cleaned as it lasers the poo for you! And there is a refillable food dispenser so you only have to refill food every few days for BB. This allows you to spend time doing other things rather than dealing with the trash or litter, which get monotonous. And it prevents forgetting to feed the cat or his food going bad. Better beds, showers, stoves, etc allow for faster need refills; faster sleep, quicker showers, better food. Etc Also the bookshelf is on the side table next to your bed. You can turn off autonomy in game settings. Either delete the books or turn off autonomy to stop her from reading all the time. Also in create a sim where you dressed your sim, you can make MULTIPLE outfits for your sim under each occasion ie everyday, formal, active, sleep, party, hot weather and cold weather each can have five different outfits. Just click the triangular arrow up directly above each occasion. It will open up another menu above that has the number one and then a clickable plus sign. Click the plus sign, which will allow you to make another outfit, so on and so forth with each additional outfit for each additional occasion.

Omg. Ev. You need to explore CC. you will definitely find your hat

You should definitely check out LilSimsie's playthroughs and build videos, she's my second favourite female KZfaqr (you're obviously my most favourite) ❤️

So many vids and playthroughs to watch! loving it so much! especially with fatal frame 5 getting its release date, the hype is real!!!

I know you said you lack the confidence to pull off that look, but you can do it. Sean would love it and I know alot of us would too. Easier said than done I know, but you got it!!

I'm so happy you're trying this game out!! I hope you have a lot of fun with it! 🥰🥰

“I’m the palest b***h around!” Uhh Gab I think we tie for that title lolol 😂

LOVE these sims vids/ streams 🤗 I like that is just the og way to play sims without needing too add in too much.

I loved the cottage living expansion pack; so cute! I just discovered your channel today and I've been binging your videos ever since! ❤

I'm so excited to watch you play this and the camera if you go to setting and switch it to the sims 3 camera mode it is so much easier to navigate around the screen🤩

Soooooo fun to watch!! Really hope you want to do more of the Sims! 💜💜 big love

I had so much fun watching this!!! Thanks, Gab 💖

I'm so glad that you're playing the Sims 4! I've been playing it since 2016 and I love it. Especially the new pack :) It's so much fun. Excited to watch you play this.

Gosh! i haven't watched a sims playthrough since I was 15, and I'm 22. Aaaah! I can't wait for the rest of this series. Cozy vibes n nostalgia 💕💕

Finally able to watch this series! have been looking forward to it :)

TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!!! Watching Gab game and Sims!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can’t describe my excitement

So awesome to see you simming! I am truly living for this expansion! I havent had this much fun since Parenthood, hope you do too!

This is great, hope you keep playing! Love this game!

Ahhh this is giving me life. I love watching you play games. 👏🏽👏🏽
