- This is my gameplay of the original The Sims 1 without any expansions as if it first came out in the year of 2000. I wanted to replicate the first time feeling of playing the game for nostalgia and also a special video since it marks the 20th Anniversary of The Sims this year. Hope you enjoy!

People say it all the time, but youtube is truly the closest thing we'll get to a time machine.
Yup. Imagine some years from now when we have 3D videos available (not just VR, fully 3D recreations of the environment with textures and everything.) THAT would be literally like a time machine where you can only watch. And the fun thing is that we're just a few decades from that technology.
Dude this is so true!
Yeah too bad it's filled with drama and dumb trivial bulshit like Jeffree Stars 8 bullshit pallet
or just replaying the game on the real gamecube again after all those years

These games were made with so much passion. I'll never forget the day I was 6 years old and my sister came home with The Sims game. Playing this on a big ass chunky monitor, a mouse with a ball inside it and some clunky keyboard, those are memories Ill never forget.
I‘m feeling that what you mean. :,)
Oh yeah well back in MY day ..
The 2000’s was a magical time to live in : )
Nothing better than playing video games with your siblings
@@danskrr Not really... 2000's were the years where in our western countries companies started to embrace fully globalization. Thousands of companies betraying their countries for China's cheap manpower... With government naively letting companies flying away to China with their knowledge, starting the process that will turn China's CCP into the scary superpower it is now...
Also, 2001.... The world trade center attack in 11/09, the beginning of the world entering in terrorist era and Middle East war with Al Qaida, then Isis then "who knows"....
No... I was a teen in the 2000 and gaming was awesome... But I feel the 2000's are the years were world really start to turn into shit for the Occident...
Selling the fire alarm to be able to afford a pizza was a classic move.
The music for this game is, by definition, iconic. For me, no other game's soundtrack has come close to capturing what it felt like to grow up in the late 90's - early 2000's. It is abrasively nostalgic.
Ok. Nintendo.
Abrasively nostalgic is so apt 😭
YES, i would play Spyro 2 and Crash bandicoot while my stepsister played The Sims in the other room, i watched her play it alot and i ended up playing the hell out of the sims on the PS2. We got amazing games back then, and movies...
This was the 2000's, not the 90s.
@@sofakingdom3076 lol if you want to be that pedantic, yes, you are correct, it did launch Feb of 2000...
This brings back the happiest memories.
Totally agree
@@Kulsarieff yes
Yes 😭
Sims 1 gives me the Sunday afternoon vibe haha :D
It gives me the "i'm pretanding to be sick so i'm not going to school all week and playing Sims instead" vibe 😂
We all lived the same life
@@francescaceliberto8148 the good life ☺
yesss sunday vibes. and i still playing the sims 1, now with 34 years old.
lol I'm watching this on an actual Sunday afternoon
There is something about the elegance and simplicity of the first game combined to its lonely, sunday afternoon atmosphere that makes it an incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience for me. I just got back to the Sims 1 a few days ago after almost a decade not playing it, and the moment I heard the music from the launcher I was hooked like my 12 years old self was back in the days. I sometimes miss when games used to be more simple and your imagination was filling the gap.
I remember the first time I played the game... it was a very special experience.
Wow you explained the feeling spot on
“Sunday afternoon atmosphere” 💯
There was an actual game to be played in the sims 1. The sims 4 completely threw live mode out the window in favor of being a building simulator. Every time i make my house and create the family I almost instantly quit the game because there’s no point lol
“Sunday afternoon” describes it so incredibly well.
I play this game when I was 8 years old. Now I'm 28 years old. Time Flies.
i used to be when i was 6 now i’m 14
I'm actually playing sims in my phone im also 10 yrs old now and i play sims from phone (Sims FP, sims mobile and sims city) i remember my mom playing sims on phone when i was like a toddler maybe 4 yrs old? I ask my mom who is the character in the sims and say thats her, so i ask where am i in the sims? She will reply that i'm not there...maybe it was like 2015 or sum'thin'... I also was born in 2010 nov 20 ik ya'll arent asking but i just wanna tell you i learned the sims to my mum.
Edit: sorry for my grammar.
@@3HorsemenOfMovingPictures I'm 9 and born in 2011's black friday, my mom loves sims, she suggested it o me.
@@食屎狗tiffany same actually i think im just four yrs old at that time when i saw my mum playing the sims in phone... I forgot to say that i remember (thats why sims 3 is more my fav than any sims) me and my mom played the sims 3 in my sister's laptop when i was like 7 or something...idk i just love sims
@@3HorsemenOfMovingPictures yeah actually i download crack versions of sim games, but i also like the sims 3 more than every sims game, but sadly I couldn't find any crack versions of it, they all have viruses. I use sims 4 instead, but downloading mods could get the sims 4 game better and less boring.
Best soundtrack 😊
Totally agree
Facts
it makes me happy, nostalgic, melancholic (in a good way) and motivates me to clean up shit in my home etc.
Same can be said for Sim City 3000
They hire a full orchestra for the recording. I remember that in the credits you could see the names of all the musicians.
I still believe that The Sims has one of the best soundtracks in gaming. It's just sublime.
I miss this game so much! I used to play it until like 4 or 5 in the morning. Time flew by while playing this.
facts
Yesss its right
Yep on a school night 😂my freshman year of high school
Same 😂😂
I swear, the best thing that my sister's horrible ex-fiance did was introduce us younger siblings to this game! I'm 30 and still playing 20 years later... (and my sister has a nice husband now)
Wow what a happy ending, love this
I'm happy for your sister and you.
Me too - except the sis part. Literally played this since 10 years old. 23 years is a long ass time. Soundtrack to ts1 will never get old though
Guess your sister didn't interact enough with her ex-fiance. Social meter is serious business.
As a kid my mind was literally blown away that you could build your own house in a game and just living through a virtual live.
Sims 1 might not have the best graphics but I think the older 3D graphics mixed with the 2D furniture just looks really unique and timeless
Nothing beats this game. Over 20 years later and I still love it! The Sims 1 has a charm that doesn't fade with time. It's still just as fun as day one. Timeless! :)
2d isometric mixed with 3d
only sims, npcs animals are real 3d
Graphics dont make a game kid
I have to admit It is so relaxing and better watching sims without blabbing in background
sims 1 will forever be top tier of the franchise. Literally carrying the whole franchise on its back!!!
I spent TONS of HOURS playing this game as a kid and as an adult still cant get over it lmao
@Squish_Bean well.... we're all entitled to our own opinions... but if maxis had never taken the chance of developing a life simulator video game (sims 1) then the whole sims franchise wouldn't exist :o I'm just a nostalgia head & when I think of my childhood ..... it's just a lot of clocked hours of playing the sims 1 specifically lol
same here
The impact that the original Sims game had on PC gaming was huge. It was ahead of its time. It’s still an incredibly addictive game.
Nah 2 was way better
@@ElStink4K3 was better
You know a game is good when it uses Comic Sans and nobody cares.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that
The music in buy mode is just so relaxing 😎
Of all people, my grandma introduced me to The Sims when it first released in 2000. 23 years ago... wow... I remember falling in love with it. Just a 10 year old boy. She also let me play Turok on the N64 and introduced me to South Park... lmao looking back what a bad ass grandma I had. She passed in 2015. How time flies. Miss you Mimi. Love you
Оо, это так трогательно❤ мы с вами почти ровесники и у меня похожие воспоминания
Your grandma sounds amazing. I'm sorry for your loss 💜
I'm sorry for the loss of your granma Mr Kim.
She sounds alot like my Mamaw was. I'm sorry for your loss.
Grandmas are the best! My Nana (during my school years) would stay in line for midnight releases of games to surprise me whenever I got home from school! There's nothing like em.
Something about the game graphics in that time... You'd think that today's kids are luckier but I don't feel like that's true. You really didn't need the full 3d environment to feel immersed in the game. The games gave your mind just the right amount of information it needs to fill in the blanks with your imagination and you using that imagination is probably what made these games so enjoyable. Maybe it's similar to reading comic books. Also games like The Sims 1 and Red Alert allowed themselves to have more realistic looking elements than the current ones which is something that helped with the immersion, just look at the furniture and character design in Sims 1.
This game is isometric
I agree!!! I feel the limitations has its own charm and make us more creative in matters of making stuff. Omg i remember i tried to making a Mall and Hotel in sims 1 and spend hours.
I also make city jail, museum, office etc. Altho most of em ends up being empty ghost building where the NPC rather talks outside 😂
And i STILL remember i made a travel agency office, i pretend go there and make my sim to do some work (playing pc) etc. And then goes home at night hahaha. So silly but so fun.
100%! Я помню каждый предмет мебели и все такое красивое, самобытное, атмосферное.
@@cliffto6Я так же строила школу😂 да, это было настолько увлекательно, что организм перестовал хотеть есть и спать 😅
Completely forgot you could only do one action at a time! Wow some nostalgia here. I'm now 33 and still a sims 4 fan but doesn't give me the same joy I got from sims 1. Oh the late nights I had on the family computer playing this 😂
i swear i cant get into any other sims that the OG first one
@@mattice9083sims 1 and 2 were the best for me. Never got into 3 and 4. Maybe I'll try 4 since it's free to play on Steam.
I remember I made a tiny little 1x2 pool with a ladder, and then once my character got in to swim, I quickly deleted the ladder, and then he died, and the music that plays when a character dies scared me and I would turn the game off.. ahh where does time go
Haha, I would do that too and I liked it bc then I would have ghosts walking around the house. 😂
@@tessajuneauyou little troublemaker
this is exactly what i was looking for, thanks
My favorite trick in this game was that you could put your own mp3s into the folder where the radio files were and you could play your own music in game.
I am 48 years old, and I go to sleep almost every night listening to The Sims, Stronghold, Neverwinter Nights, and Zelda: Ocarina of time soundtracks. They take me back to a better time in my life.
Life is always the same, it is just your own mind that thinks differently. There should be no reason to not feel the same way you did 20 years ago. Keep trying, and you'll eventually get there my friend :)
Damn i would cry myself to sleep if I did that XD
@@Whiterun_Gaurdyou'd be alot warmer and alot happier with a belly full of Mead.
And age of empires 2
This game is every thing i remember playing so long i had to pull myself off because of having to go to work the next morning. And I had to play responsibly because I could easily play all day and half the nights
What happened to a game like this.
I got hooked again playing TS1 during the start of the pandemic playing almost everyday non-stop. Last 3 months, I have decided to re-install TS4 to play it but I wasn´t as hooked. This video made me miss TS1 again. TS1 just has a different impact on me.
Probably because sims 1 had charm, sims 4 is an empty shell - I've spent the who pandemic playing sims 2
I wish I knew how to be able to play it on my iMac 😭
100%
@@SarahGarcia I think the DVD was compatible, that would be an old MAC. MAC OS or Snow leopard
The soundtrack is out of this world ❤
The Newbies are just the best people I know
One of the most vivid things I remeber from Sims 1 was how CHALLENGING it was to keep their needs up and fulfilled. Like they would literally sink the second you MOVED. FKN HeLL.
Edit: the sound effects are top tier ngl.
Yes, they would get depressed quickly, then would do nothing. It was an endless cycle of hunger, bladder, sleeping and socializing.
@@Rob_Kates kinda sounds like our lives.

@@anayarey loved it! People vomiting everywhere 🤮😂
even when you play this game as an adult, you'll never have that feeling you did as a kid while playing this.. aaah I miss the late 1990s
I started playing this when I was 4. I remember I had a dream once that they added dogs to the game, and when "Unleashed" came out I lost my mind. I used to play this on my dad's computer in his den. I was always jealous because his family lived in a castle with a maid, and mine had a grill and a bed outside with no walls hahaha
Haha, cute. X)
LOL
That’s so cute! 😍
You look spectacular
gae
Man I've been playing this game for 21 years lol
The police coming to scold u, after the burglar already left and proceeding to do nothing about the stolen items. Ah just like real life 😂
Ahhhhhhh...childhood. It's also so interesting to see the changes in technology. The wall-mounted phone, CD/tape stereo on the kitchen table, etc.
Ah to be a kid again playing the original sims.
Everything about Sims 1 gives me the most intense wave of nostalgia. Takes me right back to the simplicity of childhood.
I remember waking up at the crack of dawn just so I could get my Sims fix in before school. I miss the early 2000s 💜
same
and other MMOs as well
same & wait like 10 min for it to load 🤣
I would play all day after school. Even better on weekends. I was so excited about that game, miss those times.
@@anayarey the weekends were the best!
I was in college when this came out and it literally destroyed my body clock coz I will be playing it for hours until the morning... 🤣
I was in high school but same. Any time a new expac came out, I'd start playing it at night and then before I knew it the birds were chirping and the sun was coming up 😂
I genuinely almost cried watching this, so much nostalgia, omg, I wish I could go back in time
Sameee... It was a simpler time. Playing this game after school for hours
0:02 Man, Who loves this autoplay jingle? I do. This music is pure nostalgia.
i would play sims 1 in a heartbeat, playing 3 and 4, but the charm of the first is gold
When Bob gets up from bed super slowly even though there's a BURGLAR and then the police gets mad at him for 'prank' calling hahaha. That Sims 1 magic...
So much nostalgia! I often listen to the music when relaxing
I miss this game so much
Wowww, the music brings my youth back
Is this even still downloadable/ can u still find the disc anywhere? I’ve been looking for so long :(
That extasy hearing this intro music after waiting 100000000000000 hours for this game to install :) and praying your PC is not crashing on it :D
How to install this 😭 i miss this game
My childhood friend received this game in the mail for free. She popped it in and we started playing it. I was so hooked that I ended up getting my mom to buy me one from Walmart. I lost so much sleep staying up all night playing this game. My childhood ❤
The dialogues are the best 🤣 as disturbing 😂😂
There is an Easter egg on the neighborhood screen where the Loch Ness monster is in the river briefly
Oh man I remember hearing about that legend but I never saw it... amazing
@@DaMaLoJo afaik the cheat-code "nessie" let you have the monster on demand :)
20:40 OH NO

THE SCARRIESR MOMENT EVER IN MY LIFE
Lol you scared? Just go to church.
@@elvirahancockk that and the fire alarm going off scared the shit out of me as a kid lmao
@@pinroshan020 oh thanks
One thing I'll apprecdiate the Sims 3 for is how they brought back the classical-music vibe to build/buy mode (and inside the rabbit hole buildings like the spa one for instance, actual Sims 1 soundtracks play in there!)
Was hoping Sims 4 would have had some sort of nod towards Sims 1 but if anything it's got a lot of nods to Sims 2's wackiness (which isn't bad!).
I remember when the Sims 2 came out and it was a complete game changer I think EA killed it with the Sims 2 and it started to go a little downhill from there.
Sims 1 was certainly a treat. Thank you for sharing the very first game!!
800x600 in 2020 - it's an instant LIKE !
Oh my god............my childhood 🥺
Anyone remember *rosebud* the cheat code? Man I miss this
Yea and what about Klapaucius I remember that cheat code but not for what it was for.
This is exactly what I wanted in my life at this exact moment ugh thank you
I remember the first time I was introduced to this game. I was around 10 yr old visiting a friend. She showed me that game and I was hooked. I immediately asked her to let me borrow her CD and ran home and asked my big brother to install it on our PC. 18 years passed by and I still play TS1 sometimes
I love love love this game. It just has that “something”, that none of the sequels have. Maybe the “something” was that due to the (cute and well done) graphics, we had to rely on our imagination and had to fill the gaps since not everything was catered to us.
And oh, don’t get me started about the nostalgia…
And the music!
I remember playing this game on Gamecube for hours. So addictive.
I weirdly needed this, I spent a large part of my childhood/teen years GLUED to the original sims so this is like core memories for me
Oh Christ the music got me all nostalgic
It hit all the 50s housewife and elevator music notes just right
5:28 'choose a chair that Bob might like'... 6:03 that's a funny looking chair
Never had the patience to actually play this game the normal way as a kid. Would always use the infinite money cheat to instantly feel like a millionare haha 😂😅
Rosebud ))))
@@nataliamorena5637 core memory unlocked haha
Oof. The nostalgia. It hurts. But a good kind of hurt. I remember wasting several hours on this when i was a kid.
Although... I did not like the danger music at all at the time when I was younger. I bought a cappuccino machine to keep my Sims awake to avoid getting burglars so I wouldn't have to hear it.
I remember how blown away I was the first time playing this game. Never ending possibilities, a true sandbox
I miss the Sims head being in the middle of the menu when you click to do something. My Sims 4 doesn't do that(I don't know if it's because I'm playing in laptop mode or if they got rid of that for everyone?)
I miss playing this game. How did you get it to work?
so many Dad noises 😂
The music was better here
The Sims is such a masterpiece, none of the sequels got me hours playing it, the expansions pack were amazing, this game soundtrack lives rent free on my mind.
I played this and the sims 3 for hours, I was soo obsessed and the best thing is that the sims 3 is sims 1 styled and have so many things from the sims 1 that no one of the other games have, but I love the sims 1 complexity mechanics and the sims 3 personality mechanics is just awesome I love this games, I tried sims 2 and 4 but they are just mehh
Omg the sims Latin music just hits different 😖❤️ I've had some of the songs as my ringtone during school! That was a good 10+ years ago
There's a charm to the quiet, scaled-down simplicity of the original game. I love most of the features of the modern ones but the series has just gotten so..."animated"? I don't know. Everything is so flashy and garish and colorful and expressive and cartoony. The games feel more like a game than an actual simulation, like the original.
I usually put a few choice tracks from this game while I'm cooking. It just always puts me in such a happy place, and I think it shows in my food.
Omg i spent so much time on this game when i was a kid 😯 now I'm 23 and still playing with sims 4. Best game ever. Thanks for sharing so good memories.
I still do all the sims whistles, and no other melody. Such fond memories of my childhood 😊
I was 6 years old. I went to my neighbours house to hangout and she had the Sims 1. We’d play it together. Two years later, she moved out.
When I was 15, I bought my very first Sims game - The Sims 2 Deluxe Edition. And I can’t stop playing it since. 😄
sims 2 double delux, that’s my favorite🫶🏼
I was 10 years old in 2000. A friend came by and told me: "You gotta see this". We went over to his house, sat in front of his PC and this was the exact moment, i fell so in love with The Sims.
20:39 Talk about luck, first day, not even 30 minutes after sleeping... and a burglar shows up.
Sims 1 feels like a different universe, it's just that uncanny feeling of loneliness although it gives you stimuli, in the end it's all for nothing
I purposely still hold on to my old laptop so that I can still play my Sims 1 until today 2022.
I could fall asleep with these sounds, the memory of my childhood... I remember my mother playing and I would watch her for hours
I remember how I was introduced to The Sims. My family had a big family party at one of my cousins house and when my sister and I got there my cousins where all playing in one computer creating each other. We got there just on time to make ourselves and we played the entire day and we fell in love with the game. Days later we beg our mom to buy the sims for us until we went out and bought it. Surprisingly my sister didn’t played crazy hours of the sims like I did, staying up until 4am playing this game. 💚
I remember when my mom randomly came home one day with a huge Sims boxset which included Hot Date and Vacation. I spent HOURS and DAYS on this game. I remember when you could take the music files and copy them to your computer. I burnt a CD with some of the Vacation songs and my ex let me have his copy of Makin Magic (which I still have) and there were so many good tunes on that, that I burned it to a CD as well. I even remember being able to take music of your own and put it in the music files so the Sims could turn on their stereo and jam to Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson or Britney Spears, whatever you wanted. lmao. Once newer Sims games came out, I downloaded them to my laptop and the job I used to have was a 12hr job where sometimes I could stay in the office and have downtime to play this to let the time pass. It was such a great time waster and I loved it. I play the Sims 4 now and I know I've dished out hundreds of dollars for all the expansion packs and kits....and I don't regret it.
EDIT: Forgot to add, I'll never forget Drew Carey coming to my house after having a banging good party. I called my mom in to see it (we watched Whose Line Is It Anyway? a lot) and that was definitely one of the more fond memories I have of the game being unique to me.
Oh dear lord I'm having so many traumatic flashbacks rn😳 I lowkey forgot this is what the game looked like, I'm just so used to the Sims 4 now...
How to and download this game. Please tell me buddy
My dad used to play this in the early 2000s -- he thought it was a building game (because he likes architecting and floor planning). He only began to play it and later realized that it's a life simulation game. He got addicted into it and had fun in his early days.
I grew up playing with dolls, when this game came out I was hooked, the ultimate virtual dollhouse! I have grown to love this franchise but still remember how I felt playing the first game for the first time, golden years for me with this game.
Thank you for posting this. As someone that played this daily growing up as a kid, it’s nice to take a break from adult life and reminisce the memories.
I LOVE the bossa nova jazz music in The Sims 1. Especially the song at 8:57.
That one's my favorite!
I remember where I love to make them model and a Popstar tho😭😭😭
I remember being excited to come home after kindergarten back in the early 2000s to play this game on the family computer. Those really were the days..
this is my cat's favorite video
Wow time flies!! 20 years ! I miss this feeling so muchhhh
0:11 wait, isnt that button click sound from simcity 3000?
Indeed
What a nostalgia! 🥺The Sims 1 had the best soundtrack! And that rush of adrenaline when the burglar came! 🤣
Sims 1 is a true gem. Yeah, it still had DLC like most Sims games, but it was special. It was beginning of one of the most famous "person" simulators in the world.
It's from a time when Maxis was still a relatively unknown company; really only known for generic Sim games.
There's such a comfort in falling asleep with this in the background. I first played this game when I was a child going through a very difficult time in 2002-2003. This game was my escape.
So many memories. The only thing that's missing is the 2-3 minute load times, and the game randomly corrupting itself every so often forcing a complete reinstall.
