- Hi! Consider this added to my list of "videos that I thought would fit into shorts but then turned out to be the opposite" videos.
Birds are such a teeny tiny detail in the sims that I think many of us forget they're even there. I remember the first time I bought one, it was in Sims 2, I thought it was cool that he flew around but I forgot to feed him, he died and I felt so bad that I didn't try to have a bird ever again, neither in the sims nor irl.
What's your experience with these little guys? Do you like them? Do you think EA will keep milking the sims 4 to reintroduce them as pets? My opinion?
Sims 1 was a solid base, with small and large birds behaving differently, altho, small birds feel barely there and large birds make way too much noise that they won't let my sims nap in peace not me play in silence, they're so annoying! But maybe that's just me
Sims 2 was a great progress, birds have more movement and variety in species of large birds, they have more interactions and can actually leave the cage if you want them to, cool stuff.
Sims 3 copied many things from Sims 2 but improved the way to get birds and reintroduced small birds, it's nice to have so many different varieties in their looks and I think it's neat how you can find them around the world if you're lucky (or have a certain trait)
Sims 4 scrapped all of this and we no longer get pet birds, instead, we get to interact with the wild birds and I think this is very nice in concept, but as a game meant for playing? I'm not sure. I love their little interactions and how they can actually get you stuff and help you with gardening, so yeah, these is a good change but I still miss the pet bird feeling. I'm not sure if pet birds will make a comeback or not but these are fine imo
But that's just my opinion, let me know your's and I'll see you on the next one! I'm thinking either grimm reaper or unique objects or finally stop procrastinating on the horse video, I guess you'll eventually know. Take care!

I remember teaching a bird to talk in the sims 3, and when I've got burglar and policewoman entered the home after catching him, the bird said "sul sul" to her :D
😂
Fr? lmaoooo
i try not to be a sims 4 hater in your comments but my jaw genuinely dropped seeing the quality go from sims 3 birds to whatever on earth sims 4 is doing
Haha thanks for trying! I actually liked their gameplay the first time I saw them but I can see the downgrade
@@TheRedPlumbob well, the birds from the "cottage living" expansion are ok, but the birds from the "backyard" pack are terrible, in my opinion, the bird models should be replaced with those from the "cottage living" expansion, it would also be useful to have some interaction between these birds
that would make them more than just an unsightly decoration.
PS.
I'm sorry if I wrote something illegible, I use Google translator because I don't know English very well yet
Sims 4 makes it extremely difficult to stay positive about it
To no one's surprise, Sims 4 took a step back in birds compared to pretty much all previous Sims games. As per usual 😢
I believe it was a conscious decision because we now have a whole discussion on the cruelty of big birds being kept in tiny cages, for example in the first sims hamster cages were so tiny and now they are really big in sims 4, but for a parrot cage to be considered "humane" it would have to be a whole ass habitat. Yea people still keep parrots in cages but most of the time the parrot is let loose at home and a loose parrot in a sims house i guess would've been another full pet like a dog or cat and not just an object pet like a hamster or a fish on a fish tank.
@@roedoresdeoliveira That branch cage in TS3 would’ve been a decent solution to give the player the choice to own a parrot for example and still be humane. The bird technically wouldn’t be caged in then, so it would be able to fly around the lot whenever it wants to stretch its wings. They could still keep that tree as well that they do have, but add a few more interactions.
@@HolidayflowergirlExactly. The branch cage would be great because it lets the bird fly around whenever it wants. It makes the whole room its cage. Something like that would have been really nice
@@roedoresdeoliveirathey have hamsters in the sims 4 in unsuitable cruel cages? 😭 plus rats are social animals and need to be kept in groups
@@roedoresdeoliveiraTrue, but Sims has already done "loose pets", and they can lock doors for certain sims or animals, it is possible for them to make larger cages and the option of a walk-in aviary + allow to have the bird loose in the house, but they're nothing but lazy now. Even if they weren't pets, the birds in Sims 4 are worse looking than the ones from Sims 1
I've never played the Sims 3 but I feel like adopting a pet like rodents and birds in the neighborhood or anywhere outside feels like catching a pokemon.
It's very hard to find them so it's fun whenever it happens
I love doing a catch ‘em all challenge
I once found a mini turtle from Egypt there. Then a python-
Yes, it is! Finding birds, rodents and reptiles out and about is always so much fun! You can also find and collect a variety of insects like ladybugs and butterflies as well. Not to mention the other animals out and about. Like raccoons and deer and unicorns.
As a proud player of the Nintendo and sims 3-4 kidnapping small animals is my specialty
Why get rid of pet store?
Adopting a bird from the pet store is the best part!

sims 3 birds are unbeatable
Totally. I just wish birds like crows and hawks actually sounded like their respective birds and not the same parrot noises. 😂
I love how in that game you can just find a raven in the overworld and it's now your gothic shoulder pet 😆
True
Sims 3 was just next lvl
And sims 4 is dumpster level@@candyqueenify
My favorite is when you play the piano and the birds dance to it in the Sims 2
Hmmm, imma need to try that! Thank you for mentioning it
@@TheRedPlumbob I just tried and it didn't work, I think they're just mistaking their head bobbing animation with dancing.
@@samantharedacted9226you have all the sims games??
i just realized there are birds in the sims 4-
Kkkkk Pássaros mal feitos 😂
The sims 1 introduced this feature, then the sims 2 improved, the sims 3 improved way more then the sims 4 downgraded it
It's a theme for the Sims 4
Its a fact
The "low-poly bird" shade at the end was incredible 😂
Birds in sims 2 were so fun to watch interact with the sim.
I would honestly be shocked if they added actual pet birds to TS4, and they would absolutely sell it as a DLC like My First Pet Stuff.
Like, TS4's way of implementing things is so absurd. To get almost everything TS3 had in the Pets expansion pack for $20, people playing TS4 had to buy cats and dogs for $40, a lump sum of rodents for $10, and then horses for $40. $90 for half of everything TS3 had. It'll either be stuff packs or kits that have a small selection of birds. THEN, there will be another one for reptiles.
It's like shrinkflation but make it EA
The SIms 4 My First Bird Stuff Pack
the pet expansion for Sims 3 was also 40$ at the time not 20, expansions were always 40
Right? Sims 3 pets had cats, dogs, horses, birds, rodents, reptiles, fish and bugs as well, I believe. I am pretty sure I remember going out and collecting bugs. I think you could put them in little terrariums or something. Not to mention the unicorns as well. I loved keeping horses in that game and taking it to shows and then trying to tame the unicorn by the lake and make hybrid horse babies. It was so much fun! Too bad The Sims 4 is too cheap to compare.
I never understood why the sims 4 team never bothered with having birds as pets. Maybe bc of the "morality" side of it? na, that's just an excuse. They are lazy as usual. You could let the birds out of the cage on the previous games. in sims 3 you even had a little tree thingie...What a missed opportunity in my opinion. They did a good job with the hamsters on the Stuff Pack.
Oh well, Sims 3 wins. Without a doubt!
also, low poli birds are awesome! love them :D
I have a feeling they may expand on birds. Sims 4 seems to have no end at this point
i'd understand the "morality of keeping pet birds" angle if they didn't also go full steam ahead with treating wild birds like they're pets LOL
I am so tired of seeing this lazy accusation. it literally makes no sense to assume a team of devs are just sitting around, twiddling their thumbs, doing nothing all day, just too lazy to work. These people often have a passion for their craft, went to university to expand on their skill, but whenever a feature a person wants in a game isn't there, it's just because they're lazy. Like seriously?!
@@danithoLazy is the wrong word for sure.
They are more passionate about excluding content from packs and then selling them in another for more income.
@@__MPires__ No, they aren't. You just greatly misunderstand the way these things work.
Also, in Sims, 4 cats and dogs can scare the brids, and cats will pounce and get the feathers and bring them back, and dogs just bark at them
Ahh, I forgot to include that! It's just with the seagulls, iirc
In TS2 sometimes a flying bird gets stuck at doors. This glitch can only be fixed by removing the door (along with the bird). 💔 So its better to keep the cage closed most of the time.
That didn't happen to me but it sounds like the worst kind of bug
I gotta say, there's just something about the way the parrots are animated in Sims 2. It looks like they studied the way birds move so closely and replicated it perfectly (only execption is the flying but oh well, cant have everything) . The sound design is also perfect, the tapping on the bar when they walk around and the noises the make fit so well. Sims 3 birds are also really good but imo missing a little bit of the heartfelt details compared to Sims 2 in regards to presentation. The expanded gameplay is great of course
I have a fear of dead animals so whenever a fish, caged critter, or bird died in the games, I was traumatized. Now I only play with cats, dogs, horses, cows and llamas.
I believe sims 2 has a cheat to keep minor pets alive and I would *always* apply it. Neck and neck with Motherlode for my most used cheat 😂
The way of getting birds in Sims 4 is so lame tbh. Why can’t you just buy a regular cage?
Im sure someday there will be a bird pack for like $40
Nonono, buying cages is animal abuse, how dare you try to enclose little animals into a minimal space 😡
Btw I’m joking, pretty sure I read this _un-ironically_ when Cats & Dogs released
@@TheDrownedGod262 $40 USD? no no no, features like this will likely cost a Premium $60 USD *GAG*, it's a joke of course....but then again....are we sure that Greedy EA Won't try to pull a fast one....yet again?
@@magesticalmysterium685640 for the Bird Pack. 35 additional for the Free flying and Toys Upgrade 🙃
@@Johnmc130 I know you're joking, but I'm genuinely confused why people think that this is the intention and or reasoning behind why the sims 4 left out birds. I genuinely just think they just forgotten about them and thought that there wasn't much you could add with them. Uh, though the sentiment that little animals therefore must need little space, is somewhat misleading. It's fine in a video game, at like at least with the sims 2 and 3, they allowed the option to allow birds to roam the house and or go outside, but just because something is small doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't deserve space
as always, sims 4 goes for wacky and weird over intuitive and natural. and they do it in a half-assed careless way too, no attention to details. so the result is a gameplay that feels weird and lifeless that the player won't feel connected to
15:41 Sounds like a true social. "Sometimes Cat will starts to gain a good love those birds without harming them"
The Sims franchise 🤝 Low-Poly birds
HEY NOW! Low poly birds need love too XD
They already have it
Wow after sims 2 and 3 sims 4 birds are such a lacklustre…. It isn’t even funny how bad
The Sims 2 does have low poly birds too but they are only visible in neighbourhood mode if you place wild birds from the decorations menu.
The Sims birds, be them low res, are still a nice addition to the game. The Sims 2, while only offering the large birds, still enhanced the graphics and gameplay. Sims 3, went above and beyond its predecessors, especially with the ability to pal around town with them, and not only brought back the small birds, but so many more species for both small and large, as well as multiple ways to obtain them. Sims 4 brought back more of the low res, and while there are a couple added nuances, the limitations fall below the even the 1st game. Sims 4 also needs additional packs to add more birds, but the animations and gameplay are not even different (dlc for dlc in Sims 4 DLC Simulator).
Clearly, Sims 3 wins here❣
FINALLY, THANK YOU!
Birds were always my faves, but sadly I never got my hands on Sims 3 & de facto their birds are the best
However, you forgot to mention Aviary palace cage from Sims 1 - its the largest cage of all 4 games, and only one which can house up to 15 birds!!! Its also one of the most beautiful buy mode objects in all 4 series
+ in low poly/neighbour decor: theres a crow/raven at every mailbox in Sims 1 Makin Magic Creepy Hollow lots, and sometimes they make sound too
Atp the sims 3 is truly unstoppable!
The quality drop from sims 3 to sims 4 is insane
No, but why Sims 4 birds look like that 😭
Alsoo I have never seen that spotted sixam owl in sims 3! It is so pretty, now I truly need my sim to get it
It's very rare! I had to use mods to make it show up
This channel got me playing sims2 again 😅 So many details in the game. Learned yesterday while waiting for a taxi you can use the same phone booth to prank call.
😂 my actual birds watched this with me
Sims players relationship to EA nowadays feels like one of those movies where a person ask their partner why they never do anything together anymore or buy each other flowers or talk about things and instead of seeing the meaning of what they're saying, the partner just say something like "you want flowers? I'll buy you flowers if that's important."
As someone who loves bluebirds (I recently saw one IRL and it was adorable), I'm giving the win to Sims 3.
I enjoy these vids bc I watch them wondering “Will Sims1 beat Sims4 again?” It did.
08:32 I've seen scarlet macaw from up close as a kid and I had to search it up when I saw the sim just carrying the bird in the arm because I remember it being HUGE
also at the same day that I was with the scarlet macaws, I was eating chips from far and the 3 scarlet macaws saw the chips and chased me 😭 since then, I'm scared of birds
If im remembering correctly, in the sims 2, birds could also die from neglect. My sims often wanted birds when they were in university. So i would make sure they were fed, but i never really interacted with them. After a while, the bird would start pulling its feathers out and then die after a couple of days
i love the singing with the birds in Sims 4. that is absolutely adorable 🥰
Back in primary school; i was playing sims 2 pets and i discovered the birds first time i loved it especially when they're flying around the house but i didn't know the birds can be dead at that time i heard that noise they make when they're falling in a cage at first i didn't understand what happened but then i realized that my loving bird is dead i was shocked because it was looking realistic for me, i felt horrible and i cried that day😂💔
Same! I didn't know they could die and felt bad because they're just left there to stink! The reaper doesn't even bither showing up lol
It was a hilarious video:))) 'Tastes like chicken'!🤣
Sims 1: "What a variety! Great details! How did they pull it off 20 years ago!"
Sims 2: "Such an incredible animation, trully astonishing!"
Sims 3: "I've been playing this game for 10+ years but I haven't seen all of the birds!"
Sims 4: "Bugaga.... Ahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"
Watched this on my Tv and my cat was going crazy with all the bird chirps lmao
this is why sims3 is the best. i always had a bird in my home in sims 3 and i loved looking for birds and bringing them home. so much to explore
In my opinion, Sims 3 birds looked WAY more realistic back then...I mean do we have to talk about the Sims 4 birds...?
I know that The Sims Medieval has birds.
Yep, got to love those things when your responsibility is siccing them on specific Guild Emissaries
@@LucyAdroit Not to mention there are some very unique looking ones such as the mechanical falcon and the skeletal parrot.
Sims 2 can do no wrong in my eyes but Sims 4 disappoints yet again lol
And of course Sims 3 overachieves, as usual lol
The technical leap from Sims 1 to 2 is almost unbelievable. I remember drooling at my cousin's PC because it could run Sims 2 and mine could not, and when I finally got a decent one Sims 2 could not be played anymore and Sims 3 was out.
What a tragedy! I remember the jumping to sims 2 and being amazed just rotating the camera. It felt like the future!
Sims 3, no doubt about it! My sims has a parakeet right now :D
It's my first time seeing Sims 4 birds and I'm crying at the low poly 😂😂😂😭
Sims 2 pet birds are the cutest but the little bell and set free interaction is better with 3. Also the animal finding thing was cool. The wild birds are cute but I can't believe we still don't have pet birds
I had no idea you could teach the parent to dance in sims 1. I still play sims 1-3, and I swear I will never stop finding secrets for sims 1, sheesh, what a game.
Parrot*
sims 3 pet birds dont learn to talk in my game aswell. like i get the notification but it doenst change anything. no new interaction, the “teach to talk” interaction is still there. also they relationship never rises. makes me sad, i remember if working perfectly when i was younger it was so much fun. i have a vanilla game aswell, no mods. idk why its not working.
Sounds like a bug that was never fixed :/
This poor lady just getting rejected and bit by the birds all the time 😂
Wait... there's OWLS in sims 3?! 😮 Now i need to go find them!
They're extremely rare apparently
That male duck with reduced copies 19:05 😂😂😂 (that's not how a female with ducklings looks like, they are all brown)
I didn't know that! Thank you for pointing it out
Holy crap the sims 2 and 3 bird death is so morbid 😨
The lorikeet being the same size as cockatoos and macaws is cursed, but ngl I’d love one that size in real life.
I enjoyed how you showed all the birds - interactable and just for liveliness. I esp enjoy learning something new about the games I hadn't played. I might have done a spit take when it was like crow, amazon, falcon... BAM BIG BLUE OWL. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
My favorite low poly bird are the chickens before they made modeled chickens.
I remember the first time I had a big bird in Sims 1, I forgot to feed it for two days (I was a kid back then), and when I remembered I had a bird, when to check on it and found the poor thing upside down.
Never again I forgot to feed my birds in Sims 1.
The genuinely had heart in the sims 3 (and other, the sims 3 is just my favorite.)
Why did the birds poly count get WORSE after sims 2 lmao
cause ea has 0 standards
lol the small birds you zoomed into from the Sims 1 are literally nothing and then sims 4 is out there with bird models that actually look worse than the rest of the Sims 1 birds...
I love the Sims 3 owl, it's so pretty.
yay, more red plumbob!
I was so sure sims 4 didn't have birds 😅 I forgot all about cottage living. Too bad there are only wild birds.
Excuse me, the penguin opening the door!?! Why didn't I know about this?! Why is no one talking about the literal best thing in the Sims franchise!?!?
cats and dogs honestly could’ve just been a pack for all pets, and they didn’t have to add in brindleton bay. i would’ve been happy if it was just a pack of cats, dogs, birds, rodents, that were all as high quality as the cats and dogs. just all pet stuff, pet build items, CAS, gameplay. they didn’t need to add a whole world, they could’ve put that budget into giving us more actual pets of better quality
The squack of the big birds in sims 1 was so annoying lol.
Yes! Why are they so annoying? It's like they're punishing the player for buying a bird lol
@@TheRedPlumbobtbh that’s accurate to real pet birds lmao
I love how much TS3 gave into their expansions. TS3: Pets literally kept you sated with given pets, and TS4 is taking how much to even reach that single expansion pack greatness?
True! Reptiles are still missing even til this day
Interesting detail about sims 3 birds: large bird can "imitate" the sound of ther doorbell(the sim that heair it will go outside to check the door) and the phone ring tone (The sims that hear it will answer the phone and get angry when they realize it didn't really ring).
in my game it happend two times: first with a falcon and the second time with a sixsam owl, i didn't teach them to do that, they just knew it so i don't know how to trigger it.
Ohh, that's pretty cool! I'll have to check it out. Thank you!
The fact that sims 3 birds graphics are way better than 4 is just...
Funfact: Cats and Dogs from Sims 4 also added birds but they are just chaseable seagulls
Sims 2 birds are the most high poly, but Sims 3 really adds a lot of gameplay and variety! And WOW coldblooded - I had no idea cats could kill in Sims 1 and 3!! Especially in Sims 1 it's shockingly good animation AND coldblooded how the cat can open the cage and everything! Sims 4 would/could never.
You're so real for including these low poly birds at the end
my sims 3 save had an african grey named carl (after my bfs real african grey, rip carl) who my sims children had their entire lives and when I booted up the game yesterday he was just… gone 💔 not in any sims inventory or household inventory, not dead in his cage, no notifications that he had died or flown away :( idk what happened and im still sad. he wasnt even real and I miss him 💔💔💔💔
This actually happened to me too cause I saved the game when he was flying around!
4:10
He just causally kidnapped that birb
I always sold the birds in Sims 3, they are really valuable somehow
So....basically Sims 4 birds are either 8-frame low poly props, or immortal Cinderella birbs, got it.
Honestly I find bird feeder charming. Probably due to having one myself and loving watching birds and squirrels (and rarely mouse/rat when sun has already set) through the window. Including birds to gardening is also a big plus in my books. Just wish EA would have done something more with birds in 4.
Great video and well done for capturing all those low poly birds, I imagine that took some doing! 🐦
Thank you! The hardest part was just remembering the specific spots. I couldn't remember where to find pidgeons in Sims 4 but I know I've seen them
I feel so valid at 10:55 "birds never learn to talk, at least in my game" cuz same. I try and try and nothing 😭
Seems like a bug that was never fixed :/
I love the: 8:13 "meow, meow, meow-meow"
This is best part if someone said Sims 4 is more realistic graphic...
Literally no one says that.
Common Sims 3 W
They added upon what Sims 2 had created, and they’re just a tiny part of the Pets expansion pack
I think in Sims 3, if there are two or more bird trees, the big birds can go to a different one when flying around.
You're correct, my bird often flew from the tree to the cage lol
Sims 1 birds looking better than sims 4 birds lmao
16:00 that actually made me sad :(
There was also birdwatching in TS2 (Freetime?) and Sims will autonomously birdwatch while walking on the paths in San Sequoia (GRO) too. Also flock watching/chasing in TS4 (IL/C&D), but someone else mentioned that. Chickens as livestock/companions (TS3/4) didn't get a mention either.
Yeah, I forgot about some details but I skipped over chicken cause they have a dedicated video so I didn't want to repeat too much
Yeah, I agree that Sims 3 had some of the best bird stuff, with both small AND large birds and a decent variety of birds to adopt. Though I'm not sure how I feel about getting one's cat to go and snag you a bird. . . XD Sims 4 really feels like the odd one out without any pet birds, but I'm not sure how they could add them in without giving off more "My First Pet Stuff" vibes.
I'm not sure if they would even mind repeating the "my first pet" fiasco tho lol
There were pet budgies in Sims 1?!?! 😮
I've learned so much in this video. Unbelievable 😂
Hope they introduce more birds in the future
I hope so too!
Such adorable video ❤🕊 Love Sims 2 implementation of flying birds in the house. Very impressive
I‘m pretty sure the birds are going to need their own gameplay pack, if not even a whole expansion pack. They better make the birds good then
There are also the flocks of pigeons and seagulls in Sims 4 which cats can chase and bring back feathers. Sims can also scare them. It's not much really. The only flocks which you can interact with are in the cats and dogs world and the get famous world. Flocks exist in other worlds but you can't interact.
Yeah, I forgot to mention those. Thank you!
The Sims 1 had a higher poly count than those Sims 4 bird, lmao.
i vibe with the low poly sims bird, its just like me frfr
Sims 2 and 3 is wrong to set free a domestic bird ☠️
Swans and ducks also come as pond decorations one can place. I love birds! I whish there was pet birds in S4 too, not just those booring cats and dogs.
16:27 The timing of the laughter 😆
Sims 3 stays goated.
I remember being so surprise when walking with my Sim somewhere in the park and I saw a wild bird. A BIRD! I have never seen a wild bird in The Sims just roaming around freelty. Then my friend befriended the crow and it was her pet.
And it was quite recently, when I start playing TS3 again.
Sims 4 birds is like you're in a fairytale 😂
