      When you put it like that, the sound a lot more similar. After all, theres plenty of sims descending into madness in Kevins video, and one could say that Spiffs sim had decended into madness at the moment of their birth. Hence why they found themselves in such a situation to begin with. No sane person would even consider the one tile life.

    I remember the summer of 2002 when the island we used to frequent every summer had one of its cottages occupied by a new family. One of their kids had brought along a laptop with some games. In my eight years, I hadn't seen one of those before. _A computer - in the archipelago?_
    He then showed my siblings and me this game. I remember being awe-struck by the character creation and how we couldn't stop laughing (and marveling) at absolutely everything. Up to that point - all we knew was Macintosh point-and-click games.
    We begged our parents for a copy, and they blessed us with the Deluxe Edition that Christmas. 😢 Such good memories.

The Sims is a favorite of mine as the play styles can vary so much and each is enjoyable. Your narration always mesmerizes me, it's unique and currently my go-to videos to rewatch and play in the background as I work. The Sims 1 is so unforgiving, I can't believe you made it as far as you did. I enjoy all the content but the early Sims gameplay is exciting to see.

    Those beautiful piano tunes that none of us wanted to listen when we were kids, because it was "boring" and couldn't appreciate. But listen now and say "damn, one of the simplest soundtracks, even with improvised parts, yet one of the best soundtracks for a "retro" game you can find. Every song is made in a way that resembles something in construction, starts simple and ends being a complex song. Brilliant"

    The simple yet interesting thumbnail drew me to your channel. You are now one of my favourite forms of entertainment.

    Your narration feels a little more whimsical lately. You've gone from wise man to wizard. Love the Sims stuff!

    You play my favorite life sim and strategy games (sims, spore, ck3, rimworld) and your narration makes me laugh nonstop. Where have you been all my life?

    I love all of your content, but specifically the Sims videos you make are incredible. My girlfriend is very picky about what she will watch on UA-cam with me but every time you upload a new Sims video she freaks out and tells me we have to watch it. I love it.
