It's pretty funny how the sim spends 80% of its time throwing tantrums because its needs aren't met, which makes it so you can't actually improve said needs. Truly 10/10 design.
Sims 1 was really rough sometimes with things like that, and the time it took for general tasks as opposed to the in game time passing. When Sims 2 came out, those issues improved a lot.
@@velarswoodi mean technically thats not too unrealistic. if you are that starved, people sometimes die even after eating something for the first time. its known as refeeding syndrome
when i played sims 1 as a kid i never thought of it as being HARD, i feel like we got our hands held much less in games back in the 90's-early 2000's 😅 so it just seemed quite normal
The first time I ever played it I was about 9, my sim died immediately in a fire, and seeing the grim reaper in the game scared me so much I didn’t play again for years even though I had begged my parents to buy it for me haha

You do work that most people could never do. I always appreciate your new uploads. Your videos and your soothing tones are so relaxing and in a way inspiring. I love you ✌️
19:13 all of homie’s complaining and AA ripping into chatter for wanting a bed for him to end up pissing himself and falling asleep on the sidewalk is so poetic of America.
love your videos and the fact that you're playing the Sims 1!! i just started playing it too but tried playing it in 1440p and there are really no upsides to trying to play such an old game in 1440p, it just makes the UI too small relative to the rest of the screen lol. looks like you did 1080p which i think makes the most sense for Sims 1.
53:56 yes you can ask for reassessment, because sadly in Canada a lot of the worth, like real worth was inflated due to the "demand" but really just foreign people buying out a lot of the property before regular folk could bid and they would pay up to 300k over asking so here we are.. how many years later and in the same problem as before. They even tried to put in a vacancy tax in case you were just holding on to the home empty like some country does... but that got pushed out another 2 years.. so
Cats are the ones who make me happy 😂❤ love my babies Pizza is cheaper in the long run, since it is just 40 a day. The grill is a couple hundred and then 20 or whatever every time
complaining about food, then taking a shower the second you get a chance and then sleeping unironically reminds me of my tweaker brother when he was still a filthy street rat
sleeping on a towel sucks, back in grade school my class had a field trip to the coast for a couple days and my parents didn't pack me a sleeping bag or blankets so I had to sleep with towels since they thought "the coast" meant fun on the beach when it was actually just an educational 'look at this shit" kind of field trip. towel bed wasn't my lowest point since a classmate accused me of stealing from him after he asked to put things in my backpack for safe-keeping. not really shocked he pulled the same shithead behavior a couple years later when he took my necklace to make fun of my posture/walk to impress other students. what hurt the most was that he was never shady about it, he was openly two-faced, did it right in front of me and yet according to my guidance counselor I was in the wrong because "I was bottling my anger" for not reacting like he wanted and taking it in stride.
The old configuration was a pain in the ass to mount and dismount in. The benches really allowed for swift and easy exits. Plus it allowed the gunner and BC to sleep better 😅
You need one (1) point in cooking to not constantly start fires. Obtainable from the bookshelf. Edit: lol literally done in the last minute of the session.
Your comment about everyone trying to scam you when you buy a house is so true. You get so much crap in the mail saying they’re going to lower your interest rate for like 2 months lol
Love AA and his videos but this one absolutely infuriated me at parts. Slagathor is blood red and has no free will but AA just 3x speeds for hours of Slagathor just standing there instead of having him sit down.
You know, it's really great being able to hear the cries of Slagathor in his totally self-imposed strife filled living condition. Gerald Williams and Washingbeard Democritus had to suffer in silence while a unknowable God commanded them to starve for days on end. Maybe they could have a worm if they were fortunate. At least Slagathor can scream at the heavens. Go off, girl. Demand your sadistic god come down and answer for your suffering.
Swedish is rather hard for English speakers to learn, simply because they all speak English, and will switch at the least provocation. Took me 3 years living and working there to be able to use it
Dearest AA, Why do you absolutely neglect your sims bladder and just let him pee himself but for some reason take your time to have your sim make his bed before sleeping on it?
This game is not hard at all, you just have to take care of their needs. You had everything necessary pretty close to the beginning but you wouldn’t use them
You made me reinstall the game and I gotta say, it's fucking hard. I have 2k hours in the Sims 4 and I played the Sims 1 as a kid/teen, and fucking hell, keeping a sim alive in Sims 1 is ridiculous. Especially the social need. I take back my judgement of your playstyle, it's incredibly unbalanced.

22:49 My sim got an unknown caller right after that.
went and listened to a lady speak swedish and you were completely accurate
👍 Great video. It would be great to see a $0 in the Sims 2. I think there were gyms and places you could attend to some needs in that one.
This looks way more updated than Sims 1..at least the one I owned.
Probably has more expansions than you had 🤔

some real life lessons in this stream
You right thats how we do fun back then. How we do challenges just for fun. Good times, too bad we we go in wrong way today.

I like when the sims say "eeeuuuggghhhhh" because everything is horrible
