My Sims always go to the grill even if it's 5:am and pissing it down with rain. It got to the point where I moved the grill to an bit on the porch so they don't freeze to death.
I had a sim that somehow glitched and would not use the toilet no matter what I did. I even moved the bathroom around thinking it was a pathing issue but no, everyone else used the bathroom just fine but this one sim would just simply piss on themself and then be sad about it for no reason. The Sims 4 is a goofy mess.

Garbage disposals, yes, some houses have them in the U.S. The garbage disposal in the sims simulates The type of disposal that crushes garbage so you could fit more into one bag. The one that you could injure your hand in is like a blender blade in your sink drain. That 1 is meant to chop up foods that fall into the sink, so your pipes don't get clogged.
And those sink blender blades don't even really work. They break the second anything bigger than a rice grain falls in. I don't know why so many houses here have them lol
Did the sims 3 have garbage disposals? Or trash compactors? I didn't play that one, but lots of American homes have a garbage disposal (it grinds up food that goes down the kitchen sink) some have a trash compacter which smashes trash to make it smaller

I have no idea what you're talking about as my Sims in 3 always get stuck on random objects or pets while in Sims 4 they just get around them fine 99% of the time. They're still better in 3 than 2 or 1, but there is no way that they are better in 3 than in 4, no way at all.
@@andyz6306are you actually mad? 😂😂 or do you work for EA? I once built a sims 4 house with basement prisoners that were trapped by dog toys. *dog toys*
This is making me realize I should really do a I'm Surrounded By Idiots challenge in Sims 4! They were really popular with Sims 2 but fell out of fashion with Sims 3 because the Sims aren't especially stupid, but clearly 4 brought back the dumbass energy.
Omg, I am an American and I grew up thinking trash compactors were the height of luxury because no one I ever met had one, but all my rich sims did. I’m 30 and have seen one. It was from the 90’s and was awful. Lol
Sims 4 are the smartest because they play with us when some sims are asleep and one uses the toilet, and when they go to sleep another gets up. It's an endless cycle and they know what they are doing. They are evil
I feel like I have to micromanage my sims in TS4 or they’ll be out of whack/weird schedules as demonstrated by this video and switching to the TS2 was like a huge mental relief. Not perfect but functional at the very least
Ohh yeah. It’s probably the main reason I never mess with families very long, I remember my school-aged sims would need to be micromanaged so they could get their homework done in time to sleep, do their journals (self-imposed rule) before bed, wake up in time to eat, pee, and maybe lounge time to get their pitiful Fun needs up, and get to school on time… often times I only achieved it with one or two of them, sometimes I play with _three_ school-aged kids.
The zodiac sign personality slider is a very interesting mechanic that i haven’t seen before, it is a little confusing for me as a cancer to see that apparently i am the sims equivalent to being as middle of the road as physically possible, especially when cancer tends to get characterized (from what ive seen) as “the one zodiac sign that cries all the time and is emotional and also sometimes a mom friend”
12:18 what your talking about is a garbage disposal. It’s basically used for a fast clean way of removing food waist. It basically allows the food to be slashed into small enough pieces so the scraps don’t end up in a landfill. And you can really hurt yourself if part of you ended up in it you will have a human smoothie of sorts. Hope this helps ❤️
Technically the scraps (after getting to the water treatment facility) probably still end up in landfill or require more water treatment. If they’re bigger than the screens then they’ll get scraped off and either burned or sent to a landfill. If they’re smaller than the filter/screen holes, then they’ll be treated like any other biological wastes 💩 But you’re definitely right about the possibility of shredding a human hand 🫣 the few times a spoon got into our disposal reaaaally mangled the poor utensil.
@@Plumbellano the garbage disposal is in the drain of your sink so it makes the food mushed/shredded small enough so it can go down the drain without clogging it.
@@Plumbella the thing you're thinking of from the sims 3 is just a fancier trash can, as far as I know. Don't you have to "take out the trash" with those in TS3 too? I've never lived in a house with one, but a childhood friend of mine did. It might just be for keeping the garbage smell contained, or maybe it compacted garbage to fit more in one bag. Hopefully someone who had one of these growing up will say something about it.
Usually they are turned on by a light switch near the sink. Sink works normally when it's not on. When it's on it sounds like a trash compactor. And sound awful if a fork or spoon is left down there.
Not every home has a in-sink food disposal, but yes they exist lol. They're to prevent the pipes from getting clogged up, you're not meant to actually dump your plate down them. As for damaging your hand, yes for the older ones. I think the new ones have safety features like sensors and guards.
I just saw a guy who leaves all the sims games on for 30 days straight and it's been a fun experiment. I think Sims 3 is the smartest based on his videos, but we'll see with this one.
On autonomy, some of my sims (Sims 4, randomized sims, I just let them do their own thing and watched them ykyk) REFUSED to sleep, only drank coffee, and when the coffee machine broke... They still didn't go to sleep, they NAPPED in the hot tub all the time and kept passing out... Like, days later is when they regained their brain cells and kinda started sleeping and stuff.
I have been dying for some lp content from jessie, of older sims games. So thrilled. Look at those cute animations in the sims 2. The sims 4 would never.
Yepppp, there's a reason why I don't use Sims 4 autonomy unless there are uncontrolled sims in a "control only one sim in a household" challenge (like a grow-up challenge). Autonomy in Sims 4 is broken and useless, in fact not only will they cancel your queue if you are actively playing an autonomy-on family, but they will cancel/forget their own actions, especially cooking food or eating the food they just made regardless of possibly being about to starve to death. Autonomy stays off in my proper family playthroughs, period.
Without MCCC, the random push up and drinking themselves to the toilet would kill all enjoyment for me. RIP to console players who can't turn off the annoying autonomy.
@@youyeedyourlasthaw More so that you have to turn autonomy off completely. With MCCC, you can turn off certain actions like brewing coffee or push ups.
I think in the sims 2 the sims get better at taking care of their needs as you play the household/train their AI basically, that might be why you remember them being more self sufficient!
It's crazy seeing Rod Humble in 5:52. Now he's leading the team to make a new Life Simulation game Life by You, but around 15-20 years ago, he was leading the Sims team to create Sims 2 instead. I mean honestly what a life that man has lived.
As others have stated, you're talking about a trash compacter. They are not at all common, but were more so in the '60's & '70's. My grandfather had one in his kitchen. I think he chose to install one because he lived in a very rural area, where there was no trash pickup, so he had to take his garbage to the landfill himself, and it reduced the frequency of visits, as well as the volume of trash he had to haul. In that instance, it made sense. I don't think I've seen one since. I remember loving the sound it made in TS2 when it scrunched the garbage. And I loved not having the less than beautiful bin to place. TS4 really needs a few more attractive bins!
This gave me a really interesting view on how I play the sims, because when you were playing 2-3 I felt really relaxed and amused and was enjoying watching how the sims would react. But the SECOND the sims 4 came on i just felt STRESSED, and I didn't even realize how stressed playing the sims 4 makes me feel until i saw all of that chaos! Literally why I use cheats in the sims 4, because it's just so chaotic to have everyone in a bad mood all the time that it become un-fun, and what's the point of playing an un-fun game!!
lol Sims 4 has issues but I think the recently added Fears were causing all of the havoc, honestly. Without them it might've been better (fear of fire causes further fires ugh.) Also, I don't think the parents could share the same bed; it's the same issue in Sims 4 where adult Sims need a strong romantic relationship before they'll do that but apparently any age could share it to nap there in spite of that, so who ever started sleeping in the double bed first got priority. Plus, Sims 4 Sims will prioritize a nap during the day and supposedly go to sleep properly after dark (which I find annoying but supposedly that's why. I've not tested this to confirm it myself.) I don't think Sims 4 is incredibly intelligent but I think unfortunately the parameters and the way the developers have tried to shift things so bad moodlets are more common is what took them down. It used to be harder and people complained it was too easy/boring, which is why the frightened moodlet and then the fears were added in again.
a garbage disposal (or food disposal as you say) is basically a chopping machine inside the sink. you don’t normally purposely put food in it, but if you do put food down the drain you can turn it on so it chops up the food and makes it go down the pipes easier and doesn’t clog the drain
Sims 4 logic...Wow look at the dinning room table and chairs right next to the kitchen...Let my go all across the house up stairs to eat my salad on the toddler bed.
Garbage disposals are such a weird thing that are so common here in the US, they chop up food scraps so they can go down the pipes of the sink. They are dangerous for human hands & also most plumbers I’ve met suggest against using them because they often lead to clogged pipes if you throw a lot of food down them.
@@grot4966 yeah it goes into the water pipes, you don't throw other trash down it just food scraps. the way i was taught about them was they're for food getting washed off dishes or cut near/in the sink to go down but some people do throw fruit & veggie scraps down them on purpose
I think it's sims 2. I'm guessing before I watch. Sims 2 sims are so responsive and they decline certain actions based on their mood. Watching this is so nostalgic.
I feel like it was a little unfairly stacked against Sims 4 since their emotions change so fast plus the fears mess with a lot of normal behavior (looking at you "fear of fire") On another note the thing in sims 3 is an in-counter bin that compacts the trash (think Wall-E) that isn't common in houses as opposed to a garbage disposal which is something that's built in the sink.
I really wish I could play the sims 3 because it looks so fun but every time I try I just get overstimulated because there's so much happening at once especially with bigger families. And I've been spoiled by the phenomenal build mode of the sims 4
@12:14 Some people have those drain disposal things but I rarely ever see them. Never had one myself, just the standard trash and wash the dishes by hand.
I had to remove all music devices from a home in one of my sims 4 games because ALL they would do is turn it on and dance. No matter what the circumstance was. Hungry? Dance. Gotta pee? Dance. Tired? Sorry, dance. They were ignoring all their actual interests to dance instead. I wouldn't be surprised if sims that hated dancing were also dancing, it was that bad.
“In the sims 4 they just cook a meal when they’re slightly hungry” I have to fight mine to cook, they love ignoring eating to deal with other issues… although given how with every random EA update they suddenly become super flammable (even level 10 cooking with best cooker available) until the next one I’m not sure I entirely blame them 😅
the garbage compost is not an average thing in the us some people have it but at least in my experience, it's not a thing everyone or most people have. most houses now have a garbage disposal but that's just i tiny blender in the sink drain to cut up bits of food so they dont clog the drain
I love how EA advertised the sims 4 with "smarter sims" but they're clearly not that smart, at least not autonomy wise. The only thing they're smarter about is multitasking and that you can put objects a bit closer and they still can use them.
Oh my gosh. What a wild thrill ride. Like a rollercoaster made out of life's ultimate failures. You've inspired me to want to play the Sims 1 again but I lost my CD copy of the Complete Collection. I still have the Sims 2 ultimate collection at least. But I want to marathon the whole series, going as far as I can with each one. I laughed, I cried, I freaked out. Your videos always do that to me. I always end up laughing at something. Sims players have to be the most chaotic people in the world.
i literally use a food disposal at work. they’ve always scared me bc they actually can AND will take and off 😭 it’s kinda crazy to me that y’all dont have any over there
Sims 4 Sims really take more naps in an average day than I do on vacation. Seriously why don't they just go to sleep like a regular person? The silliness of these Sims.
idk if anyone told you about garbage disposal, but it's basically so if you have bits of food in the sink, you can rinse it down the drain and flip a switch and something in the drain chops up whatever you rinsed down. There are some things you can't put down there like egg shells, but it's nice to not have to scrape food in the trash from every dish if it isn't too much for the sink and is too little or something for leftovers. You would hurt yourself if you put your hand in while it is on.
Garbage disposals are a thing! It goes in the sink and you can turn it on. It’s spinning blades (I think) that break up any food that goes down your sink. If you don’t put your hand in it while it’s on your good, but if it’s on yeah you’ll lose some fingers
The disposal that I ever seen is a blade kinda like a smoothie blade that is under the kitchen sink in order to cut food into small pieces for the plumbing I guess and yes it can really mess you up if you stick your hand in it. I’ve never seen a disposal like that have in the sims though
They are called garbage disposals where I'm from. And honestly they're terrifying. I am so happy that I don't have one in my house. Because when I did, I was always afraid I was going to drop something down it and it would just start going and take my hand with it.😮 thanks for that anxiety flashback
for your garbage disposal question: we use them (at least in my house) for wet and squishy foods only! if i didnt finish a bowl of ramen or cereal, i’d scoop it in there and help the disposal grind it up with some water. otherwise we dump everything in the trash and drain it first if there’s fluid lol
I am so glad you're a Dandelion/Jaskier girly! Nothing against Geralt, but it's chaotic bard supremacy all the way for me. Every version and every medium (also some of Netflix actor's songs are a bop. Those who haven't should check out The Amazing Devil, especially if you liked Burn Butcher Burn or Wh*reson Prison Blues in the show)
I think what I discovered from this video is that I like that Sims 2 and 4 need my involvement as a player and are more chaotic by default. If Sims are too smart, it kind of renders the whole point of the game pointless unless you’re a storyteller because the core part of the original Sims was you were the decider whether your Sims failed or succeeded. So instead in 3, I’m just sitting there jumping from activity to activity without really being challenged, and Sims by default will just succeed with little input.
If u do a sims bingo (fun idea btw)I feel like your kid bringing a friend home from school is something that could occupy a space. It happens fairly frenquently but also could just never pop up.
we do have garbage disposals in our sinks in America - basically it's like a blender blade in the drain of the sink that will chop up all the food waste and make it able to go down the drain. and yeah it's super dangerous to put your hand down it, but you have a specific switch in the kitchen to turn it on so it's not always on when the tap is.
Garbage disposals and garbage cans, are different things lol, Disposals are usually part of the drain in your sink, and there’ll be a switch nearby, considering it’s a ton of blades that spin aggressively to cut up bits of food so they can be put down the drain, I’d say it could definitely hurt your hands xp
Your Sims 4 was so chaotic! I love it lol. I can't remember the last time there was a fire in my game. Can we try this again with the Sims 1? Also, can we do a version where we pick traits that are supposed to help? Like neat and handy? Could be fun, I just want to see more chaos lol.
I Will just say getting my sims 3 sims to work on time was a CHORE. I had to wake them up 2 hrs early and if I had forgotten to cook the night before god help me😭 but I was also _committed_ to having them brush their teeth every morning after breakfast because, duh!
you cant really hurt yourself in a food disposal because its down the drain. its probably possible but youre more likely to ding up a fork you didnt realize was in the drain than hurt yourself. theres usually like a rubber guard over it so there isnt just an open blade. i honestly rarely use mine though.
yeah we have food disposals, in the sing we can put the food in the drain, turn it on, and it'll break it down and stuff. And yes you can damage your hand, like shred it.
I really hope Sims 5 is gonna make the Sims a lot smarter, like sleeping at night, maybe depending on their traits and habits at different times? Habit being if you keep your Sim awake dueing the night for multiple nights they will keep doing that unless you change that again yourself. Also Sims eating the appropriate food depending on time of day? I don't know complicated that would be to make but it would certainly make the game feel a lot more realistic.
On the topic of garbage disposals: it's literally a blender in your sink! Convenient, but you can't put things like carrots down it, or it'll clog. You can absolutely injurie your hand if you stick it into the disposal while it's turned on! But just like a blender, you can reach in and touch the blades when it's turned off without hurting yourself. It's cobtrolled by a light switch on the wall!
I'd guess Sims 4. The very first thing I did in 2014 was set up an asylum challenge (a la Sims 2 & sims 3 challenges). The sims were way too good at making sure they ate, etc. One did die of embarrassment. I actually like them a little dumb. Makes for more drama. Could be wrong, though! Can't remember for Sims 3 & 4, but apocalypse challenges taught me that sims and kids eat at school/work and will relieve themselves while there, too. So your sims should do better on days they have work/school.
Ohhhh garbage disposals are spinning blades in the bottom of the sink so you can rinse plates and turn all the waste into tiny bits so it’ll wash down the pipes and yes you can lose your fingers bc it’s v sharp and v fast!
Yes it is standard in american homes to have garbage disposals at the bottom of your drain in the sink located in the kitchen. They’re mostly made up of 6 blades that spin really fast to destroy food into little particles to be washed down. I use it for small leftover bits and egg shells. They’re super dangerous though if you put your hand in it lol.
Sims 4 logic:
slightest bit of hunger= to the fridge!
Slightest bit of hunger AND horrible life threatening weather= to the grill!
😂
My Sims always go to the grill even if it's 5:am and pissing it down with rain. It got to the point where I moved the grill to an bit on the porch so they don't freeze to death.
My sims friends keep coming over and making stuff on the grill I had to put it in my sims inventory 😂
Considering my sims always manage to pee themselves and then pass out in it while starving I’m going to say: not sims 4
I had a sim that somehow glitched and would not use the toilet no matter what I did. I even moved the bathroom around thinking it was a pathing issue but no, everyone else used the bathroom just fine but this one sim would just simply piss on themself and then be sad about it for no reason.

Considering my sims pretty much always burn due to panicking too much to call the firefighters or pour water over a fire… I agree 😂
My sim really needed to pee and he went in the bathroom... to grab himself a glass of water. Yeah. Agreed.

I feel like I have to micromanage my sims in TS4 or they’ll be out of whack/weird schedules as demonstrated by this video and switching to the TS2 was like a huge mental relief. Not perfect but functional at the very least
Ohh yeah. It’s probably the main reason I never mess with families very long, I remember my school-aged sims would need to be micromanaged so they could get their homework done in time to sleep, do their journals (self-imposed rule) before bed, wake up in time to eat, pee, and maybe lounge time to get their pitiful Fun needs up, and get to school on time… often times I only achieved it with one or two of them, sometimes I play with _three_ school-aged kids.
The zodiac sign personality slider is a very interesting mechanic that i haven’t seen before, it is a little confusing for me as a cancer to see that apparently i am the sims equivalent to being as middle of the road as physically possible, especially when cancer tends to get characterized (from what ive seen) as “the one zodiac sign that cries all the time and is emotional and also sometimes a mom friend”
12:18 what your talking about is a garbage disposal. It’s basically used for a fast clean way of removing food waist. It basically allows the food to be slashed into small enough pieces so the scraps don’t end up in a landfill. And you can really hurt yourself if part of you ended up in it you will have a human smoothie of sorts. Hope this helps ❤️
Technically the scraps (after getting to the water treatment facility) probably still end up in landfill or require more water treatment. If they’re bigger than the screens then they’ll get scraped off and either burned or sent to a landfill. If they’re smaller than the filter/screen holes, then they’ll be treated like any other biological wastes 💩
But you’re definitely right about the possibility of shredding a human hand 🫣 the few times a spoon got into our disposal reaaaally mangled the poor utensil.
OMG might be a silly question but do they go in a big bag that’s connected or?? i’ve never seen one irl lmfaoo
@@Plumbellano the garbage disposal is in the drain of your sink so it makes the food mushed/shredded small enough so it can go down the drain without clogging it.
@@Plumbella the thing you're thinking of from the sims 3 is just a fancier trash can, as far as I know. Don't you have to "take out the trash" with those in TS3 too? I've never lived in a house with one, but a childhood friend of mine did. It might just be for keeping the garbage smell contained, or maybe it compacted garbage to fit more in one bag. Hopefully someone who had one of these growing up will say something about it.
Usually they are turned on by a light switch near the sink. Sink works normally when it's not on. When it's on it sounds like a trash compactor. And sound awful if a fork or spoon is left down there.
Not every home has a in-sink food disposal, but yes they exist lol. They're to prevent the pipes from getting clogged up, you're not meant to actually dump your plate down them. As for damaging your hand, yes for the older ones. I think the new ones have safety features like sensors and guards.
Man is impossible to be sad when watching your videos. You have this energy and passion for the sims, lifts my spirits everytime
I just saw a guy who leaves all the sims games on for 30 days straight and it's been a fun experiment. I think Sims 3 is the smartest based on his videos, but we'll see with this one.
Yeah it's Tytar. The ending for TS2 was amazing and terrifying 😂
On autonomy, some of my sims (Sims 4, randomized sims, I just let them do their own thing and watched them ykyk) REFUSED to sleep, only drank coffee, and when the coffee machine broke... They still didn't go to sleep, they NAPPED in the hot tub all the time and kept passing out... Like, days later is when they regained their brain cells and kinda started sleeping and stuff.
I have been dying for some lp content from jessie, of older sims games. So thrilled. Look at those cute animations in the sims 2. The sims 4 would never.
Yepppp, there's a reason why I don't use Sims 4 autonomy unless there are uncontrolled sims in a "control only one sim in a household" challenge (like a grow-up challenge). Autonomy in Sims 4 is broken and useless, in fact not only will they cancel your queue if you are actively playing an autonomy-on family, but they will cancel/forget their own actions, especially cooking food or eating the food they just made regardless of possibly being about to starve to death. Autonomy stays off in my proper family playthroughs, period.
Without MCCC, the random push up and drinking themselves to the toilet would kill all enjoyment for me. RIP to console players who can't turn off the annoying autonomy.
@@crowqueenampsyou can turn it off on ps4
@@youyeedyourlasthaw
More so that you have to turn autonomy off completely. With MCCC, you can turn off certain actions like brewing coffee or push ups.
@@crowqueenampsyess I turned off autonomous video gaming and my game is so much better lol
I think in the sims 2 the sims get better at taking care of their needs as you play the household/train their AI basically, that might be why you remember them being more self sufficient!
It's crazy seeing Rod Humble in 5:52. Now he's leading the team to make a new Life Simulation game Life by You, but around 15-20 years ago, he was leading the Sims team to create Sims 2 instead. I mean honestly what a life that man has lived.
i love how when all put side by side in the thumbnail, the sims 2 sims are by far the cutest
As others have stated, you're talking about a trash compacter. They are not at all common, but were more so in the '60's & '70's. My grandfather had one in his kitchen. I think he chose to install one because he lived in a very rural area, where there was no trash pickup, so he had to take his garbage to the landfill himself, and it reduced the frequency of visits, as well as the volume of trash he had to haul. In that instance, it made sense. I don't think I've seen one since. I remember loving the sound it made in TS2 when it scrunched the garbage. And I loved not having the less than beautiful bin to place. TS4 really needs a few more attractive bins!
This gave me a really interesting view on how I play the sims, because when you were playing 2-3 I felt really relaxed and amused and was enjoying watching how the sims would react. But the SECOND the sims 4 came on i just felt STRESSED, and I didn't even realize how stressed playing the sims 4 makes me feel until i saw all of that chaos! Literally why I use cheats in the sims 4, because it's just so chaotic to have everyone in a bad mood all the time that it become un-fun, and what's the point of playing an un-fun game!!
It took me too long to realise Jessy was saying "dirty home" and not... "Dirty w*ore" 😅
I am surprised I'll be honest 😅
lol Sims 4 has issues but I think the recently added Fears were causing all of the havoc, honestly. Without them it might've been better (fear of fire causes further fires ugh.) Also, I don't think the parents could share the same bed; it's the same issue in Sims 4 where adult Sims need a strong romantic relationship before they'll do that but apparently any age could share it to nap there in spite of that, so who ever started sleeping in the double bed first got priority. Plus, Sims 4 Sims will prioritize a nap during the day and supposedly go to sleep properly after dark (which I find annoying but supposedly that's why. I've not tested this to confirm it myself.)
I don't think Sims 4 is incredibly intelligent but I think unfortunately the parameters and the way the developers have tried to shift things so bad moodlets are more common is what took them down. It used to be harder and people complained it was too easy/boring, which is why the frightened moodlet and then the fears were added in again.
I haven't seen the video yet, but my guess is The Sims 3 🤔 The autonomy is unmatched there
Not the cat head popping up out of nowhere 😂 13:40
I mean, sims 2 sims certainly feel the most alive to me, having my sim throw a bit of their food to their cat absolutely made my day
a garbage disposal (or food disposal as you say) is basically a chopping machine inside the sink. you don’t normally purposely put food in it, but if you do put food down the drain you can turn it on so it chops up the food and makes it go down the pipes easier and doesn’t clog the drain
Sims 4 logic...Wow look at the dinning room table and chairs right next to the kitchen...Let my go all across the house up stairs to eat my salad on the toddler bed.
Garbage disposals are such a weird thing that are so common here in the US, they chop up food scraps so they can go down the pipes of the sink. They are dangerous for human hands & also most plumbers I’ve met suggest against using them because they often lead to clogged pipes if you throw a lot of food down them.
My ex wo lived in Canada didn't have one and we had to just...dump unfinished food IN THE TOILET and FLUSH IT.
It was so freaking weird
@@kaydwessie296why didn't they just... Put it in the bin????
What.. Does the garbage go into the water pipes?? AND FLUSHING FOOD WASTE? what the hell
@@grot4966 yeah it goes into the water pipes, you don't throw other trash down it just food scraps. the way i was taught about them was they're for food getting washed off dishes or cut near/in the sink to go down but some people do throw fruit & veggie scraps down them on purpose
I think it's sims 2. I'm guessing before I watch. Sims 2 sims are so responsive and they decline certain actions based on their mood. Watching this is so nostalgic.
I would agree except for the fact Sims in 2 would often leave cooking items on the stove and then the house would burn down
I would say both sims 2 and 3, but I still check just in case
I feel like it was a little unfairly stacked against Sims 4 since their emotions change so fast plus the fears mess with a lot of normal behavior (looking at you "fear of fire")
On another note the thing in sims 3 is an in-counter bin that compacts the trash (think Wall-E) that isn't common in houses as opposed to a garbage disposal which is something that's built in the sink.
Jessie is so pretty with no makeup ❤
Agree. Natural gorgeousness.
I really wish I could play the sims 3 because it looks so fun but every time I try I just get overstimulated because there's so much happening at once especially with bigger families. And I've been spoiled by the phenomenal build mode of the sims 4
@12:14 Some people have those drain disposal things but I rarely ever see them. Never had one myself, just the standard trash and wash the dishes by hand.
I had to remove all music devices from a home in one of my sims 4 games because ALL they would do is turn it on and dance. No matter what the circumstance was. Hungry? Dance. Gotta pee? Dance. Tired? Sorry, dance. They were ignoring all their actual interests to dance instead. I wouldn't be surprised if sims that hated dancing were also dancing, it was that bad.
LOL wasn’t the sims 4 marketed as “your sims are now smart!” 😮
“In the sims 4 they just cook a meal when they’re slightly hungry”
I have to fight mine to cook, they love ignoring eating to deal with other issues… although given how with every random EA update they suddenly become super flammable (even level 10 cooking with best cooker available) until the next one I’m not sure I entirely blame them 😅
the garbage compost is not an average thing in the us some people have it but at least in my experience, it's not a thing everyone or most people have. most houses now have a garbage disposal but that's just i tiny blender in the sink drain to cut up bits of food so they dont clog the drain
I love how EA advertised the sims 4 with "smarter sims" but they're clearly not that smart, at least not autonomy wise. The only thing they're smarter about is multitasking and that you can put objects a bit closer and they still can use them.
I swear that literally everyone is watching Zoe’s Vlogust and I’m living for it
We need more videos like this where you do your makeup babes
I LOVE your experiment style videos, they’re always my fave!!
Oh my gosh. What a wild thrill ride. Like a rollercoaster made out of life's ultimate failures. You've inspired me to want to play the Sims 1 again but I lost my CD copy of the Complete Collection. I still have the Sims 2 ultimate collection at least. But I want to marathon the whole series, going as far as I can with each one.
I laughed, I cried, I freaked out. Your videos always do that to me. I always end up laughing at something. Sims players have to be the most chaotic people in the world.
Even though we didn't get to see TS1 gameplay, I just love everything that was happening in that part xD
i literally use a food disposal at work. they’ve always scared me bc they actually can AND will take and off 😭 it’s kinda crazy to me that y’all dont have any over there
Sims 4 Sims really take more naps in an average day than I do on vacation.
Seriously why don't they just go to sleep like a regular person? The silliness of these Sims.
idk if anyone told you about garbage disposal, but it's basically so if you have bits of food in the sink, you can rinse it down the drain and flip a switch and something in the drain chops up whatever you rinsed down. There are some things you can't put down there like egg shells, but it's nice to not have to scrape food in the trash from every dish if it isn't too much for the sink and is too little or something for leftovers. You would hurt yourself if you put your hand in while it is on.
Garbage disposals are a thing! It goes in the sink and you can turn it on. It’s spinning blades (I think) that break up any food that goes down your sink.
If you don’t put your hand in it while it’s on your good, but if it’s on yeah you’ll lose some fingers
This made me realize that I would love to watch Plumbella do a makeup tutorial! Just how she does her personal makeup, because she's always so pretty
Jessie I love this type of sims experiment
most of us do have garbage disposals in the sink, but you can’t put crazy stuff in there it’s mostly for scraps that need to be rinsed off
Both parents going to work is a problem in the Sims 2 if it's outside of the school schedule, because they can't leave the kids home alone.
i love the loser trait makes me so nostalgic
The disposal that I ever seen is a blade kinda like a smoothie blade that is under the kitchen sink in order to cut food into small pieces for the plumbing I guess and yes it can really mess you up if you stick your hand in it. I’ve never seen a disposal like that have in the sims though
Love the witcher Era for you Plum fr fr
They are called garbage disposals where I'm from. And honestly they're terrifying. I am so happy that I don't have one in my house. Because when I did, I was always afraid I was going to drop something down it and it would just start going and take my hand with it.😮 thanks for that anxiety flashback
for your garbage disposal question: we use them (at least in my house) for wet and squishy foods only! if i didnt finish a bowl of ramen or cereal, i’d scoop it in there and help the disposal grind it up with some water. otherwise we dump everything in the trash and drain it first if there’s fluid lol
13:39 The cat 🤣🤣
They said, "Hello?"
I am so glad you're a Dandelion/Jaskier girly! Nothing against Geralt, but it's chaotic bard supremacy all the way for me. Every version and every medium
(also some of Netflix actor's songs are a bop. Those who haven't should check out The Amazing Devil, especially if you liked Burn Butcher Burn or Wh*reson Prison Blues in the show)
I AM OBSESSEDDDDD WITH THE AMAZING DEVIL
1, 2, 3 and 5 killed me entirely 💀💀
4 realized what's gonna happen to them and managed to escape 😂
I find myself saying out loud a lot how smart the sims 3 sims actually are.
You being confused over a garbage disposal is giving me life because I didn’t know they weren’t a thing elsewhere!!!! Lol
I think what I discovered from this video is that I like that Sims 2 and 4 need my involvement as a player and are more chaotic by default.
If Sims are too smart, it kind of renders the whole point of the game pointless unless you’re a storyteller because the core part of the original Sims was you were the decider whether your Sims failed or succeeded.
So instead in 3, I’m just sitting there jumping from activity to activity without really being challenged, and Sims by default will just succeed with little input.
I'd love more of these kind of experimental videos!! It was interesting.
I play Sims1. My sim died in 5 minutes in a house fire from rubbing the genie lamp.
That is my record unintentional sim kill.
Your cat at 13:40 was like umm yes you called ?
If u do a sims bingo (fun idea btw)I feel like your kid bringing a friend home from school is something that could occupy a space. It happens fairly frenquently but also could just never pop up.
we do have garbage disposals in our sinks in America - basically it's like a blender blade in the drain of the sink that will chop up all the food waste and make it able to go down the drain. and yeah it's super dangerous to put your hand down it, but you have a specific switch in the kitchen to turn it on so it's not always on when the tap is.
No disposal here in my rural American home. This is a fun challenge!
We love you, Jess!! always my go to after work
Garbage disposals and garbage cans, are different things lol,
Disposals are usually part of the drain in your sink, and there’ll be a switch nearby, considering it’s a ton of blades that spin aggressively to cut up bits of food so they can be put down the drain, I’d say it could definitely hurt your hands xp
Even without make-up you are absolutely beautiful!
her face is beautiful, no "even withouts" needed !
Your Sims 4 was so chaotic! I love it lol. I can't remember the last time there was a fire in my game.
Can we try this again with the Sims 1? Also, can we do a version where we pick traits that are supposed to help? Like neat and handy? Could be fun, I just want to see more chaos lol.
Oh the food disposal is for the sink in case something gets stuck in there so you grind it up. It's to prevent sink from clogging up.
As a german electric food disposal thingies are completely insane for me too :D like... just put it in the bin?
I Will just say getting my sims 3 sims to work on time was a CHORE. I had to wake them up 2 hrs early and if I had forgotten to cook the night before god help me😭 but I was also _committed_ to having them brush their teeth every morning after breakfast because, duh!
you cant really hurt yourself in a food disposal because its down the drain. its probably possible but youre more likely to ding up a fork you didnt realize was in the drain than hurt yourself. theres usually like a rubber guard over it so there isnt just an open blade. i honestly rarely use mine though.
13:40 thank you for the cat close up
yeah we have food disposals, in the sing we can put the food in the drain, turn it on, and it'll break it down and stuff. And yes you can damage your hand, like shred it.
I really hope Sims 5 is gonna make the Sims a lot smarter, like sleeping at night, maybe depending on their traits and habits at different times? Habit being if you keep your Sim awake dueing the night for multiple nights they will keep doing that unless you change that again yourself. Also Sims eating the appropriate food depending on time of day? I don't know complicated that would be to make but it would certainly make the game feel a lot more realistic.
I have not watched yet, but it's sims 2. I spent 14 years in this game, i know. The best one part of the series.
I feel like a thought comes to my head about the sims and u make a video about it lmao
On the topic of garbage disposals: it's literally a blender in your sink! Convenient, but you can't put things like carrots down it, or it'll clog. You can absolutely injurie your hand if you stick it into the disposal while it's turned on! But just like a blender, you can reach in and touch the blades when it's turned off without hurting yourself. It's cobtrolled by a light switch on the wall!
I'd guess Sims 4. The very first thing I did in 2014 was set up an asylum challenge (a la Sims 2 & sims 3 challenges). The sims were way too good at making sure they ate, etc. One did die of embarrassment. I actually like them a little dumb. Makes for more drama. Could be wrong, though! Can't remember for Sims 3 & 4, but apocalypse challenges taught me that sims and kids eat at school/work and will relieve themselves while there, too. So your sims should do better on days they have work/school.
Ohhhh garbage disposals are spinning blades in the bottom of the sink so you can rinse plates and turn all the waste into tiny bits so it’ll wash down the pipes and yes you can lose your fingers bc it’s v sharp and v fast!
The way the sims 4 makes me rage 😂 my sim keeps laying their infant down for bed but immediately turning around and picking them back uo
Yes it is standard in american homes to have garbage disposals at the bottom of your drain in the sink located in the kitchen. They’re mostly made up of 6 blades that spin really fast to destroy food into little particles to be washed down. I use it for small leftover bits and egg shells. They’re super dangerous though if you put your hand in it lol.
