The main purpose of The Sims is to get rich. It is also shown in the trailer for the game, where the Sim's house keeps getting better and bigger, and the interior contains more expensive and better objects. Basically, you go to work, improve your skills and find friends to advance your career, get money, buy new furniture and other things that will help you fulfill your Sim's needs. The entire first The Sims game is based on this principle. Why am I writing this? Because even the neighborhood map reflects this principle. You start in the bottom left corner of the map in a cheap house, which of course you can upgrade or move towards the top right corner where the huge villa is located, which can be end game for a lot of players. I just wanted to point this out because you used location as a category. Great video by the way.

When I was a child and played Sims 1, I still didn’t know much about how the game worked, but I always saw the big mansion and dreamed about moving inside it. I never was able to, but I do remember that I had dreams (literal dreams when I sleep) about seeing the inside of that mansion. Even though I eventually built more bigger and beautiful homes that house will always be the one that got away. I could potentially build a replica on Sims 3 or 4 but it will never be the same.

Huge Kitchen house was always my fave, its sooo visually pleasant & elegant... but yeah I would remove wodden fence & do adjusments to upstairs 😂 My sisters fave was always the Middle Bathroom one, whenever we install the game again, that house had to be hers 😅 Goth house does look creepy, but its meant to be that way. They are based on Addams family And for the mansion... I agree its overpriced, price of 50 000 was just to put there to force you to play more & more... I don't think its worth more than 35 - 40, as such large rooms were difficult to furnish, they end up looking repetetive Even bigger failure was Maxis medieval castle from Hood 2 - for price of 117 000 - you get bassicly nothing. I remember I evicted my Sims once out of it, and new price was 40 000 lol

I'm surprised you like the newbie house as much as you do. I personally hate it lol. It's overpriced and too small. The "grey" house is one of my favorites because it's affordable and the floorplan makes sense. I don't like the "large kitchen" house and actually never played in it, because it bugs me that you move Sims in and immediately have to go to build mode because there's no premade bedroom. I love the "weird bathroom" house. I think it's a good price and liveable and nice looking. You can delete one of the 3 bathroom doors to make money back. I use that house so much tbh. But I enjoyed your video! I love Sims 1 content 😁

You say early in the video that we will find out which house is objectively the best, but then you say that you don't like a few things about certain houses, making your ranking a bit subjective. Personally though I think the mansion is a bit too big for my preference since it just takes up time for sims to walk between the rooms, the Huge Kitchen one looks awful with the green tiling on grass(in my opinion). The Goth House I like because it is an obvious nod at the Addams family, and the Grey House is a great starting house. The river house has too many flowers I feel (if they wither your room will decline really fast). The Newbie House is also a good starting house.

I think they're built in such a way as to meet the conditions of "Layout" (it is available in the tab with the house icon in the HUD under the career icon, I don't know what it's called exactly in English because I always played in Polish). I think this is what the creators wanted - to build houses that will meet this weird game's requirements - and as I remember - the more transitions between rooms, the better this 'Layout' is. I haven't encountered this in real life at home either, though.

I find all the houses useful in some form or another, and have used them all. My favorite is the huge kitchen house. When I got a couple of expansions, I like the fact I could view the house before moving someone in. I would downgrade it to under 20k simoleons so I could move sims in right away. There was a glitch that if you bought pjs or swimwear and then changed houses, it didn't carry over and you'd have to rebuy (though I can't remember if it was every time the game was loaded). With huge kitchen and Goth houses, I expanded the second floor entirely to line up with the first, though I left the balconies. The mansion just never worked for me. Ultimately I have settled on the mansion in Magic Town. It's not as spacious but it does work for me.

Obviously, you can to do whatever you want with them, but the developers intended the Grey House to be for the Bachelor family. and the Middle Bathroom house to be for the Roomies family. And then the large kitchen and mansion houses are just meant to give you a goal to works towards with your families.
