@@AnnieKonni lol I did too when I was little, I remember asking my dad if the world was black and white in the past. And he looked at me like "...huh?-" XD he was watching a black and white movie at that time too-
I'm so the same. I wish there was more of that because I want to make myself in the sims and it's kind of hard since I wear re-enactment clothing on the daily alot (1780s, 1870s, 13th century, 1910s, 1930s, 1940s + 1950s).
Yeah you were supposed to turn the gas off before you got in the tub but some people didn't. They'd also die from carbon monoxide poisoning because their bathrooms weren't properly ventilated and the fumes from the gas would kill you
In 1890 Women were allowed to work outside of the home as teachers, housekeepers, maids, nannies, and in hotels cleaning them. They were also allowed to take in laundry to earn money sale fruits and vegetables and eggs.
They also could sell soap, and "everyday" items people had to make. I think there's a mod for soap and soap making, as well as making candles with the eco pack.
@@BlazingCorpse420 Many also sold home remedies from their home which the outdoor pack allows you to make homemade medicines and things of that nature so that could be added as well.
@@terrionderdonck850 don't forget a textile or seamster. In the 1890s, there were far more jobs by what people valued back in the day. No on went to a target to get all of those appliances, it was individual and boy did that process work so much better.
They actually had baby bottles at some point in the Victorian era, however they didn't use the proper safety precautions and many babies died from the parents not cleaning the bottles thoroughly.😔
that's one of those things that I wonder how much it had an impact on the child mortality rates (because they were high) it was also the shape of the baby bottles that made them harder to clean
She’s talking about the Edwardian Era, while naming it Victorian Era. She even said it starts in 1890s, which is ending of Victorian and starting of Edwardian
@@TheOneGirlification You are literally wrong. Victorian Era ended in 1901 when Queen Victoria died. Then her son, Edward, took the throne, hence the name ''Edwardian Era''.
@@ambys.3695 Of course, but to each their own, because I don’t find the comments rude. Many complimented the originality and others offered tips for future use.

There was also electricity in 1890, but not everyone had it in their homes. They used candles and gaslighting until it became more widely available in the mid 1920s.
This. This is what sims 3 into the future should have been but call it “In Time” Not only can you go to the future to meet your descendants but you can go to the past to meet your ancestors
@@catsaremylife8946 i dont think you can... theres the sims medieval but thats a total spin off. as far as time travel goes you can only go into the future (hence the title of the pack)
I would like to point out that it would've been perfectly acceptable to have masonwork flooring, at-least, in an 1890's house. It probably would've been favorable to have a brick floor. You may've been able to also use some really really simple porcelain tiles. Though, porcelain tiles would've been a luxury till laminate was invented.
For future reference, I believe there is a cheat you can do with MC command center or something where you can ban certain clothes from use for NPCs, that might be helpful.
this is cool, i came up with an idea to do a challenge like this myself without even knowing that it was an actual challenge, and so i decided to look up “decades challenge” on youtube to see if it was a real challenge, and yours is so cool! it’s pretty historically accurate, too. i started my challenge in the 1930’s, just cause i thought it’d be fun to start a long time ago and then go ten generations until 2020 :) super cool though!
@megan Nah there’s actually a ton. It can be pretty hard to find male clothing and a few objects, but there’s a ton of cc made specifically for this challenge lol
I created a similar challenge for Sims 3 where you started in 1800 and each day = one year. You start out with a little bit of money, but other than that you had to keep to historical facts. No bicycles until the 1830s (horses and walking only), no electricity, no indoor plumbing, no jobs unless you wanted the hassle of having your Sim horseride to work, etc. I never made it past the Edwardian Era, so this will be interesting to watch.
Just started this series, really excited to watch all of it. I don't mean to be a b!tch, but technically 1890 was towards the end of the Victorian eara, not the beginning. Sorry about that, I could just feel it was going to nag at me.
I’ve always wanted to do something like this but I don’t have enough custom content for old fashioned style clothing. Also I love Japanese culture and think it be cool to start a decades challenge in feudal era japan.
If you get farther in the handiness skill you can craft a bath tub that’s also off the grid, it’s also wooden! I found out on the castaway challenge I believe it’s called.
Ohhh,.. I was doing this before I knew it was a challenge. Even did the old black and white and sepia photos, but hun, they had lots of wallpaper, and rugs and they did have indoor plumbing, including toilets, starting in the 1840s,.. just dangerous ones lol
That male 1890 swimsuit looks pretty authentic for the era! That's some awesome CC! And they look so adorable! And....ok! I've gotta play this challenge myself! :D I love Victorian era! :D
Btw, the victorian era started in 1837. The 1890s are late vuctoria as the victorian era ended in 1901. And that decade is reefered to as the Nineties (as opposed to.the Ninies for 1990s)
my ancestors would lived in rented two room houses made out of stone in a field somewhere with 15 children to take care of, in 1890. Probably starving from not eating properly. And this is even after the famine. I'm Irish btw!
"1890s was the start of the Victorian era" - Incorrect. Queen Victoria (who the era is named after) reigned from 1837 until her death in 1901. The 1890s was like the final chapter of the Victorian era.
I have a fun history fact about the women's clothing. They changed the color of their clothing to fit with what was going on in their life. If there was death they would go to wear full black then slowly go out of the black as the death had moved on and they stopped grieving or it was the other way around I dont fully remember.
I've been trying to find a playlist of more then 3 episodes to this challenge, and then this episode was in my recommended! I'm excited to start watching this legacy!
I have really enjoyed your videos and am working on this challenge myself! I opted to keep my female child home from school so that she could help clean. Her mother also taught her knitting which she mastered as well as mastering violin. (I did have to cheat her grade up when it got to F in order to keep her from being taken away for neglect.) Thanks again for some enjoyable video!
Correction: Electricity did actually exist around the 1880's - 1890's. It was very primitive, but very simple light bulbs had been invented and used at the time.
I be been playing “1970s” because I was just obsessed with this house I built, she had triplets and now I’m just trynna keep up with the timeline 😂 It’s the year “1983” we just adopted moved and I think my family is just going to like outdated homes 🥶
Hey Jen! I wanted to say that this series when it first came out was a major reason to me buying the sims. I absolutely loved watching you play this challenge and I'm now doing it myself! I'm not sure if there's any additional rules about infants yet though. But thank you for being an inspiration!
I'm not really doing the challenge but I'm just starting a storyline for my FB group that times place during the early 1800's. I'm learning a lot just from watching this video so thank you very much!
As a historian, the inaccuracies are killing me but I know it’s the best it’ll get. Also most women worked outside of the home during this time because most families could not afford to keep a wife at home. This was the time of monopolies and tons of factory work.
Watching this again a year later. Just restarted the same challenge on my own again. When downloading sim families to fill my world, I saw the Aimsworth couple and remembered your videos. Btw, the couple were added in my game.
I was gonna try this challenge once but immediately gave up because I hate farming, I might try again. Although when I tried it I was starting all the way back at the cavemen! Might just mess around and watch this whole let’s play, it was nice to see that you kept going with it too!! I’m excited to watch omg
Cool! Mine is ancient too, but it doesn't have that. Mine was kind of a communal home so multiple families lived (and probably died) here over the years and they've updated things. Then my dad changed a lot of it before we moved in. It still has ancient windows and poor insulation, but it's an okay house.
I really enjoy the idea and the effort you put into this! I've seen a lot of generation challenges over the years and I'm glad you are adding a new twist to it by beginning in 1890!
Im loving the decades challenge Women actually did ware makeup during this era makeup has been used since the ancient egyptians and during the 18/1900s was made with lead arsenic and other harmful substances
i know there's vintage glam and whatever, but the sims should release a game pack or something where you discover old antique and buried treasure. basically having late 1800-1900s furniture and clothing, as well as metal detecting and a new store type
Well they didn't have pregnancy tests as we know them back then but women used to pee on wheat sprouts and watched them over a few days. The pee of a pregnant woman lets the sprouts grow super quickly and that's how they knew.
Talking about the toilet: Yes, I know some of my moms friends and their grandparents (1940s). I have even used one of toilets like that, they smell really bad, cause it’s a hole where you do your stuff.
Of course people have to be rude and have to correct to make themselves look 🤓...... its a game people.....its sims 4 🤦♀️. Sorry this is late,, looking for new ideas on the sims 4, ill have to try this 😀 keep up the good work!
Wow...this looks like such a hard challenge XD Good luck The victorians was starting to have electricity and gas I think but there was not many safety rules and fires or explosions would happen They also liked patterned walls in their homes but the colour green contained arsenic and some victorians became ill Another factor was milk for infants, they sometimes bottle fed with milk and to prevent it from going off they put a special chemical in there, it actually hid the smell of spoilt milk but the bacteria was still in there and that caused illness in many infants, less so in adults because adults would need more of the chemical to become very ill but they could still become unwell just less likely but for infants it could lead to death
So Many Scholars In The Comments... I Am Impressed And Also Upset That You Did Not Create Your Own Challenge Instead Of Rudely Commenting Things... Pitty. She Is Living On The Borders Of Each Era So It Is As Close As Possible And Not Totally Inaccurate (I Know When The Transition Of Victoria To Edward Is BTW). Just Enjoy The Effort And Give Good Feedback. ALSO 😌 Feedback And Being Rude Are Not The Same So Instead Of Saying "YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG WAH WAH WAH" ...."Hey I Noticed That You Took This Route, Historically Such And Such WAH WAH WAH" . Happy To Help, Respectfully ❤
In 1882 Edison helped form the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York, which brought electric light to parts of Manhattan. But progress was slow. Most Americans still lit their homes with gas light and candles for another fifty years. Only in 1925 did half of all homes in the U.S. have electric power.
1890 was not the start of the Victorian era. The Victorian era was 1837-1901, so if anything it was the end. edit : I haven't finished and i can tell she isn't educated on this topic. They did in fact have ways of telling if a woman was pregnant, like peeing on hay. Also, painting was admirable in woman during that time. Also, the chances woman would be able to read is low, unless they had an educated husband whom was okay with it.
@@tomasmillen More seriously, ignorance is only excusable in cases where one has not had opportunity to learn. I grant that many people don't know a Victorian England from a Medieval Knave. Which is fine, if they were never presented with information on the subject. But when encountering misinformation, one should correct it so that others don't fall victim to it, don't you agree? It's one thing to not know, and another thing to be told wrongly, and still another (and worse) thing to take correction as an attack. I will grant that I could have worked harder to make my initial comment nicer, but ultimately, it was simply a correction of misinformation. And how would one know that one had received or given misinformation if not corrected?
You guys are so mean in the comments it seems so challenging to do I would love to do it but I can’t afford a computer at the moment so I use my Xbox and I can’t get CC on there but it seems so fun to do!
i feel triggered by the fact that the game is not in black and white but I forget that the world wasn't black and white back then either lol.
Yeah
Genuinely thought the world was black and white when I was a kid because no one explained to me that it wasn’t

Not so fun fact: back then baths had a gas tap and a fire underneath it that heated the water, a lot of people died due to the water overheating.
Yeah you were supposed to turn the gas off before you got in the tub but some people didn't.
They'd also die from carbon monoxide poisoning because their bathrooms weren't properly ventilated and the fumes from the gas would kill you

@@istolethispfpsorry485 yeah which is why the rules state you can't have them. only the incredibly wealthy had them
The victorian era was from mid 1830's to 1900. So 1890 is the tail end, not the beginning, but this looks fun.
they definitely had electric especially with a home like that. this was a more high class home that would be in a city at the time.
the challenge is not the most historically accurate XD but that's a flaw on the part of the person who wrote the challenge, not her

I started this challenge a few days ago, we're in the late 1900s and my sims have 6 boys 🫠 the 1910s are going to be fun 😭
Last time I checked the 1890s was the end of the Victorian era
I love that you used a Schuyler sisters looking dress
Well they didn't have pregnancy tests as we know them back then but women used to pee on wheat sprouts and watched them over a few days. The pee of a pregnant woman lets the sprouts grow super quickly and that's how they knew.
Talking about the toilet:
Yes, I know some of my moms friends and their grandparents (1940s). I have even used one of toilets like that, they smell really bad, cause it’s a hole where you do your stuff.
Also, there was both electricity and plumbing, but alot of people didn't have either until at least the late 1890's, possibly only the very wealthy.
Me when i do the chalenge and relize i dont HAVE Any custom content bcs im ON xbox1: adios amigos
Of course people have to be rude and have to correct to make themselves look 🤓...... its a game people.....its sims 4 🤦♀️. Sorry this is late,, looking for new ideas on the sims 4, ill have to try this 😀 keep up the good work!
Wow...this looks like such a hard challenge XD
Good luck
The victorians was starting to have electricity and gas I think but there was not many safety rules and fires or explosions would happen
They also liked patterned walls in their homes but the colour green contained arsenic and some victorians became ill
Another factor was milk for infants, they sometimes bottle fed with milk and to prevent it from going off they put a special chemical in there, it actually hid the smell of spoilt milk but the bacteria was still in there and that caused illness in many infants, less so in adults because adults would need more of the chemical to become very ill but they could still become unwell just less likely but for infants it could lead to death
So Many Scholars In The Comments... I Am Impressed And Also Upset That You Did Not Create Your Own Challenge Instead Of Rudely Commenting Things... Pitty. She Is Living On The Borders Of Each Era So It Is As Close As Possible And Not Totally Inaccurate (I Know When The Transition Of Victoria To Edward Is BTW). Just Enjoy The Effort And Give Good Feedback. ALSO 😌 Feedback And Being Rude Are Not The Same So Instead Of Saying "YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG WAH WAH WAH" ...."Hey I Noticed That You Took This Route, Historically Such And Such WAH WAH WAH" . Happy To Help, Respectfully ❤
Also, electricity moves into peoples homes in the 1880s.
In 1882 Edison helped form the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York, which brought electric light to parts of Manhattan. But progress was slow. Most Americans still lit their homes with gas light and candles for another fifty years. Only in 1925 did half of all homes in the U.S. have electric power.
1890 was not the start of the Victorian era. The Victorian era was 1837-1901, so if anything it was the end.
edit : I haven't finished and i can tell she isn't educated on this topic. They did in fact have ways of telling if a woman was pregnant, like peeing on hay. Also, painting was admirable in woman during that time. Also, the chances woman would be able to read is low, unless they had an educated husband whom was okay with it.
1890s is literally the END of the Victorian era, not the start. She became queen in 1837 and died in 1901.
She’s going off a guide, and she’s also not British. Most Americans probably won’t know.
@@tomasmillen Well, I'm American, and I knew.
@@thevirtualtraveler Like I said, most. Not all.
@@tomasmillen As I said, not like. But now I'm just being pedantic. Aw, who am I kidding, I started out pedantic. :D
@@tomasmillen More seriously, ignorance is only excusable in cases where one has not had opportunity to learn. I grant that many people don't know a Victorian England from a Medieval Knave. Which is fine, if they were never presented with information on the subject. But when encountering misinformation, one should correct it so that others don't fall victim to it, don't you agree? It's one thing to not know, and another thing to be told wrongly, and still another (and worse) thing to take correction as an attack. I will grant that I could have worked harder to make my initial comment nicer, but ultimately, it was simply a correction of misinformation. And how would one know that one had received or given misinformation if not corrected?
this is the best history lesson ever haha. i just came across your channel and i love it!
There are more accurate resources on UA-cam.
A lot of the history isnt correct
Hate to break it to you, but a lot of these “facts” aren’t true and I would watch what your believe.
This'll be better now that the Cottage pack is out.
I love this challenge so much! I always come to your series in my free time and I always enjoy them!
This is a fascinating challenge. Although, people had running water in 1890 💀
Hi I just discovered your channel I love the idea of this challenge and have been looking for people who were doing it xx
I just found this and your UA-cam channel. I love history and can’t wait to watch all this!! Thank you for doing this
When you said it was 8:58 I looked at the time and it’s 8:58 LOL
If you do debug you’ll get a wood bathtub!
Starting a new binge series here😊 Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
hey just a thought you can sell the gnomes from thanksgiving and they are worth a lot of Simoleons
You guys are so mean in the comments it seems so challenging to do I would love to do it but I can’t afford a computer at the moment so I use my Xbox and I can’t get CC on there but it seems so fun to do!
