Time for julen to experience the time honored tradition of playing this 24/7 for 3 months straight, then not touching it for 4 years, and then suddenly wanting to play again thus repeating the aggressive cycle of The Sims
About to hit the 4 years of not touching it, and the sudden urge to play the sims has been creeping back up slowly. This video just made the urge stronger
i have played the sims for like a solid 17 years and NEVER had my firemen start dancing in sync after putting out a fire😂💀 that was the funniest thing i’ve seen in awhile
One time in the sims 3 I depleted one of the sims needs so he would die- he peed himself right before he died of starvation and the grim reaper literally mopped up his mess 😭😭😭 i love the silly little bizarre animations they put into the games, like someone spent TIME making that happen lmaooo
I’ve been exclusively playing sims 2 since it came out in 2004. Recently I downloaded sims 4 base game thinking “fuck it, let’s give it a shot. how different can it be” and I swear to you I had to quit bc I had no clue what I was doing 😭😭
@@faceofvision the chaotic maze, massive house plant, multicolored wallpaper, multiple outdoor siding shelves... I was fucking losing it laughing. There's nothing better than watching someone experience the Sims for the first time. Brought me back to when I first started playing sims 2.
The firemen dancing had me CRYING I replayed it about a million times and it just gets better and better, the suddenness of it all, then the way the music gets LOUDER. masterpiece.
Julian discovering the motherlode cheat and spamming it was literally so nostalgic for me. I did the same thing when I was eight and figured out how to do that in Sims 2. Also I love that he immediately fought Katrina. Classic
as a simmer of 23 years.... this is fucking hilarious but ultimately i'm envious, i wish i could experience learning the sims for the very first time again it makes me nostalgic in a way to watch him not knowing what he's doing at all lol
This is one of those “let him cook” moments because I know he will naturally get better but as long time sims player and especially sims 4 player I’m getting all these flashbacks to when it was brand new for me too and the urge to scream is strong lol
It's facinating as someone who has only really ever played Minecraft and The Sims (heavily experienced simmer here), to watch someone who has played soooo many games I have never touched, play the one game I'm practiced in for the first time.
I decided to skip ahead a bit right around when he started the second floor, I just can’t watch people struggle through build mode anymore 😅 I feel like such an ass but I tried so hard to be chill lmao absolutely love his chaotic sims energy tho
i watch a lot of ppl play sims 4 online and its always so structured when they build and create in CAS. its acutally super refreshing watching the chaos that Julien creates XD
I feel like with everything you did I could hear Jenna say “Juuuulllieeennnn”. You guys really compliment each other so well and we will all miss you both making videos together!
I’m so thankful we still have Julien and I’m SO glad she’s happy because that’s all that matters, but God I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I miss her so, so unbelievably much. It really feels like having one of your best friends suddenly decide not to be your friend anymore one day and never seeing them again.
Until i watched this i forgot how overwhelming playing Sims is for the first time. I first played it in the early 2000s so i basically grew up playing it but definitely have empathy for people starting out with the advanced games like 3 and 4. It was super bare bones with regualr sims and even sims 2, so there's a steep learning curve with the newer versions
@@KelseyDrummer 3 is my favorite because it's more open world and you can have multiple Sims out of the house at once and have them all simultaneously be building friendships and skills and such. I liked in 3 how kids could "play tag" or "play catch" and you'd have this like massive tag game in the park where everyone is building their social meter but also building relationships easily. Same with play catch being easy to build athletic and social/fun. I also liked that it wasn't so easy for your sim to get pregnant in Sims 3. In sims 4 they just look at someone romantically and they're magically pregnant. I WILL say the outfits and hair options (though I wish there was a "create a style" for the outfits) are incredible cool and diverse. I have had a few multiracial families and love being able to have lots of ethnic hair options and outfit styles. I feel like with both 2 and 4 I have it on the hyper speed option because there's so much "downtime" . I also don't like how in 4 legit everything breaks all the time or catches fire. The "free will" is a lot stronger too where a sim will be holding a baby to bring to the highchair for food exploration and next moment they put the kid down and go for a swim forgetting they have a kid. At least in 3 they don't stop mid action and refuse, they refuse the action completely and go take a nap. 🤣
@@rilessmiles6590 Agreed. Dan and Phil are great too, and are the ones who got me into The Sims in the first place. Gray Still Plays is also good for some chaos.
My favorite part of this stream was immediately opening it and telling him he can make the sims vom if he spins them fast enough only for him to then try it 😂
I feel like there is probably a lot of overlap between lilsimsie and Julien viewers, which is going to be perfect for this era because every time the simmers recommend a rooftop bar or garden, Julien will absolutely love it
Im still a beginner simmer myself and im just so happy at all the mistakes he makes and the confusion because this was ME😂😂 just lost half the time and hoping no one died
Julien + _The Sims_ = CHAOS! I LOVE IT. Imagine if he had older games, custom content and/or MODS?! This could become dangerous and I am here for it!!! AND he chose Oasis Springs?! No one ever goes there, and it's my favourite city in this game! YAY!
Aaah! Julien!! Love the sims 4 gameplay! I know the sims 3 is a little outdated but the gameplay is soooo much better! If you’re getting into the sims, I highly recommend giving that a try! ❤
Honestly it's so refreshing to see the chaos. I've been playing for like close to 20 years now and my mom is also a simmer and I can definitely forget how much fun the sims is when you just let the chaos roll through you
This is so wholesome watching you play sims for the first time. I wish it was still as unhinged as Sims 1 and 2, then you'd have a really big blast with all the weird stuff.
As a simmer and longtime viewer, I cannot explain in words how excited I am that Julien has started playing the sims. But at the same time I cannot express how stressed I feel watching him create this absolute chaos 😂 I love it and I hate it but I can’t stop laughing 🤣 for real I’m barely breathing omg
I’m only 10 minutes in to the pure and innocent chaos of you not knowing how to play but closing out of the tutorials is wonderful lol. As in avid simmer for life it’s fun to watch the chaos ensue.
MY TWO WORLDS ARE COLLIDING!!! I’ve waited my entire life to watch Julen play the Sims. Usually it’s me, watching Julen on stream, while I play the Sims. If ever there were a game created for a pure Aries soul, it’s the sims. I’m so hyped.
I’ve never seen you before haha, but I love the sims so hello and thanks RUclips algorithm! Also I am screaming/crying/throwing up backseat gaming while you’d stumble through your first steps loooool.
Highly recommend, if you haven't already, go into settings and change the camera controls to legacy Sims 3 controls. They are way more intuitive and easier to use.
Aspiration to be a Chef but immediately plays all the Deviance Aspiration Goals lmao There are multiplayer mods so you could play with others. Some people play as toddlers together and try to survive with one caregiver. Would require a lot of planning though easy enough for an experienced Simmer. There are scenarios to play as well in the Main Menu. (also you have enough following EA would probably give you EVERY pack for free if you asked. idk if you plan to play again but it's a possibility.)
The building is legit my favorite part of the game. I often spend my whole time playing just building and then I'll take a separate time playing to actually do the story and create sims and such.

About to hit the 4 years of not touching it, and the sudden urge to play the sims has been creeping back up slowly. This video just made the urge stronger
Why is this so true? 😂😂
i feel attacked
and also like i need to reinstall the sims....
true
I feel like I’ve waited my entire life for this moment.
Dude me too!!!
Simmer Julien should be on everyone’s bingo card
Honestly, same.
same
SAME 😊
I feel like Jenna would enjoy and simultaneously be distressed by Sims 4. Hope she gets to explore the world of Sims during her leisure time.
Agreed. Oh how I wish we got to witness Jenna playing the Sims. The world would heal.
She would go fucking nuts with plant and CAS CC... and the cats and dogs pack hahah
She would also be incredibly distressed watching Julien play. I swear I can hear her freak out with every choice he makes 😂🩷
@@Konnordawg no but really, me tooand i love that XD

Literally a pure soul
i have played the sims for like a solid 17 years and NEVER had my firemen start dancing in sync after putting out a fire😂💀 that was the funniest thing i’ve seen in awhile
they started dancing in jennxpenns new video too💀
i literally started crying of laughter, they were BOOGIEING

As a 20 year sims player its always painful but equally entertaining to watch someone play for the first time 🤣
I’ve been exclusively playing sims 2 since it came out in 2004. Recently I downloaded sims 4 base game thinking “fuck it, let’s give it a shot. how different can it be” and I swear to you I had to quit bc I had no clue what I was doing 😭😭
It hurts SO. MUCH. 😂
@@annierebeccaa Sims 2 is superior all around. Sims 4 has its merits though so don't give up on it.
The amount of anxiety I got just watching him put those floor lights and putting the house underground 😭😭😭
@@faceofvision the chaotic maze, massive house plant, multicolored wallpaper, multiple outdoor siding shelves... I was fucking losing it laughing. There's nothing better than watching someone experience the Sims for the first time. Brought me back to when I first started playing sims 2.
Julien discovering MOTHERLODE is everything.
malware! 😂
I wish someone would've taught him money 999999999999999
I literally started crying laughing. 😂
Motherlode is great, but not so much for someone playing for the first time who is still trying to figure out how the game works lol.
the quick typing after realizing what it did the first time actually had me dying lmaooo
The firemen dancing had me CRYING I replayed it about a million times and it just gets better and better, the suddenness of it all, then the way the music gets LOUDER. masterpiece.

as a simmer - this is stressful... but, as an aries - the chaos is hilarious
29:35 oh my gosh download motherlode 💀
right? It's kinda like watching Julien play a little to the left lol
I finally feel understood 😌
whoever told him about resizing objects BLESS YOU
I've never laughed so hard at a video 😂
As a sims player I think I finally understand how Jenna is feeling. Omg
S A M E
Lmaoooo yes in my head i was screaming “JULIENNUH”
as a simmer of 23 years.... this is fucking hilarious but ultimately i'm envious, i wish i could experience learning the sims for the very first time again it makes me nostalgic in a way to watch him not knowing what he's doing at all lol
one thing i have to say is julien is SO good at making characters look like him maybe its bc he nails the mustache and glasses but GODDD
julien playing the sims was not on my 2023 bingo card but i’m loving it
I can’t get over Julien specifically selecting toddler things that he can’t even use 😂
It's funny, but I'm also like "READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTIONS!" lol
my favorite part was the cheat window being open almost the entire time
This is one of those “let him cook” moments because I know he will naturally get better but as long time sims player and especially sims 4 player I’m getting all these flashbacks to when it was brand new for me too and the urge to scream is strong lol

Patiently waiting for him to get the Pets expansion pack to he can make all the dogs!
i just know jenna would be scream laughing at julen causing a fire and the firefighters suddenly dancing lmfao
I’m 16 minutes in and I’m trying SO HARD to let go of everything I wish he was doing differently😂
Are you also quietly yelling at the screen 💀
I almost finished it but this was too tough hahaha.
Thats like me with every game he plays😂😂
Just came to the comments to see if anyone else was pulling their hair out at the 16 minute mark 😂 glad to see im not alone
I decided to skip ahead a bit right around when he started the second floor, I just can’t watch people struggle through build mode anymore 😅 I feel like such an ass but I tried so hard to be chill lmao absolutely love his chaotic sims energy tho

@@Wraiven22 this omg i feel the same like of course we’re all happy for her but there’s a jenna sized hole in our hearts
I could just hear Jenna laughing hysterically when Julien was spinning the child character lmao. I miss her so much.
As much as I miss Jenna IDK, I like Julien being able to make his unhinged choices even more.
@@lilmisssydnis1 His chaotic Aries self is really thriving 😂
I have never seen the firefighters dance before 😂 Leave it to Julien to show us something even more chaotic even if he doesn't know what's going on.
There's no way this man actually said "download motherlode" he really is father 😂
"Will it give me malware?" 🤣🤣🤣
Just lost my mom today. I don’t know what to do with myself so I have this on while I deal with my shock. Thanks for the cozy content Julien
Hugs
sorry for your loss.
Sending you hugs ❤️
Sending you lots of love. Have been through the same. You are not alone dink friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you all the strength to keep going and take care of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️

@@dashrubberbear Nah. Sims 4 is best. Sims 1 and 2 and a bit hard. 3 is ok.

Julien: goes to a stranger's house to shower and sleep in their bed
Also Julien: The people in this game are so rude!!!!

Never in my life have I been more excited to see a specific person play a specific game than I am rn. Omggggggg
Whoever said owl slide knows the Dan and Phil lore
i’m an og jenna & julian fan and i haven’t been on this channel in awhile but this … is exactly what i’ve been needing thank you julien love you guys
Hands down this was the FUNNIEST stream. I was laughing the WHOLE time
His sim playing energy is almost as chaotic as GrayStillPlays except Gray does it on purpose and well, this is just julen’s natural energy💀
Okay but this is the wholesome content I’m here for. Yeees
ah yes, wholesome…
with julien, it will always be chaotic
Looking at chat when Eliza showed up to see if they noticed, they did, was happy
i love when men play the sims. it feels like the world is healing.
RIGHT?
Go watch callmekevin play, it's like the world is in utter chaos, and it's glorious.
@@rilessmiles6590 Agreed. Dan and Phil are great too, and are the ones who got me into The Sims in the first place. Gray Still Plays is also good for some chaos.
Him making that huge ass roof is literally what Dan and Phil did back in the day 😭😭😭😭😭
The male urge to make big ass roofs in sims 4 needs to be studied
And now they're back!
The whole time, I'm just hearing Jenna yell, "Julien!" 😂😂
JULIEN STOPP
OMG SAME
JULIENUHH
ah yea the sims! the game i spend hours making a family and their home and playing with them maybe 30 minutes and never again haha
I genuinely have not seen a more chaotic Charlie and the chocolate factory headass house😭😭
My favorite part of this stream was immediately opening it and telling him he can make the sims vom if he spins them fast enough only for him to then try it 😂
36 minutes in and I already choked on my food 4 times. Been having a hard time lately but the healing this is giving already. Thank you for the chaos
Not someone posting 'finally at the right height' when he accidentally change the sim to a child lmaoo chat is RECKLESS
Julien’s little smile while spamming motherlode was me every time I logged into the sims 2 when I was a kid
The firemen were dancing so you wouldn't notice that they stole your TV! 😂
OMG the flirty fireman I have never seen that before in all my hundreds of hours of playing
This was hillarious. I was dying laughing. Crying my eyes out. U should make this a series.
