i think the sims 4 would have ended up better if they hadn't repurposed project olympus' garbage into the sims 4's garbage. maybe not a lot better, but anything is better than what we got. (who knows, maybe they would have taken the series down a better route too)
Mid 30s is that age where you simultaneously feel young and very,very old when someones first Sims experience wasn't Sims 1. It was glorious, playing it on my best friends family computer in the living room.
Oh my god. I played this game as a kid, it was so impossible for me to keep going because all I did was work, barely get my needs up, go back to work. And I could neeverrr get promoted because my needs were always awful. Now I think back on this game and think about how accurate it is to real life and it’s kinda horrifying
@SilkyLew I think that's due to the fact it was an online only concept before it became "Sims 4". But I agree, sims 1, 2 , and bustin out had actually objectives and a storyline, plot, twists and a world of pre-existing characters who all had long histories with the rest ofbthe world, people, and environment
this is what the sims was meant to be. I was so baffled the new games removed story modes. without any goals to work towards, what am I supposed to do other than...build a pretty house, I guess? if sims had kept story goals I'd probably still play to this day. I was obsessed with this game and Sims 2 on my PS2 as a kid and the handheld games are fantastic, I highly recommend playing all of them!
I think a free roam mode with achievements / goals / one MAJOR goal to work towards with the ability to keep playing after finishing it would be a good compromise. I wouldn't be opposed to a wacky full-blown story mode in Sims 5 but I will be extremely surprised if they decide to do that again.
@@AveryAnarchy I kind agree with the new horizons thing you said like I wish there was more to do in the game then decorate my island and house talk to my animal neighbours and a few activities besides that there's not much to do
Dude I was 7 years old playing this and fighting for my life. I struggled so hard with this one but absolutely loved it. The early 00s vibes were so strong. As a kid though, I always loved the handheld games and busting out for GBA was great. So many awesome memories!!! Thanks for covering this one
Small detail but I always LOVED how this game’s walls worked. The subtle fade as you got closer instead of completely disappearing walls. I can’t help to imagine having something like that now in TS4. It’ll really make you appreciate and enjoy your builds a whole lot more. No other sims game ever did this. Also the loading screen was superb !!
What made these Sims games more difficult besides the moods was the fact that there were NO WEEKENDS. So you had to juggle between keeping all your relationships alive as well as your job, life, etc. Used to be impossible for me as a child, never got past the first levels lol. Loved the vid lissy!
To solve that I occasionally skip a job day, as long as I don't skip for two days in a row. If I went to work everyday, completing the goals would be impossible for me.
So glad you brought up the GBA Bustin Out, I was OBSESSED with that game (and the DS game Sims Urbz). I loved all the Sims storyline games tbh. Wish they'd bring them back!!!
I never howled so hard while watching the whole romance arc from Malcom to Woody to getting a clown kid. This is the reason why we play Sims, for moments like this hahaha
@@grimmquinn2003 yes! I had the same issue lol, got to Goth Manor, was overwhelmed and quit. Then I just moved back to Mimi to farm all the skillpoints before moving out again lol. It's basically cheating I guess, but oh well. The only thing is that you can't progress the story, and Mimi keeps telling you to move out all the time, but other than that, everything was fine! 😂
This was my first sims game, It was a bit of a trip learning that pc sims wasn't like this lol, but the story mode was some of my favorite things about this game and wish it was used more in the other sims games
I remember playing this. Getting a husband/wife was a must because you could have them make friends for you and they were bugged to never lose relationship lol
this was SUCH a throwback omg. my first sims game was actually the sims 2 pets on the ps2, followed by sims 2 castaway and THEN I got the sims busting out after that and good lord was it hard. I spent all this time thinking i was just terrible at it so this was both nostalgic and incredibly validating
I played this when it came out when I was a teenager. I had a lot of fun, even though the main story could be a slog. My strategy was once I moved out from Mom's I would max out all my skills and that way I could focus on career unlocks. Once I met the career's requirements to move out I would get another career path and then keep leveling up and moving. Made the game much more fun that way. And yeah, you can totally skip Sims 1 as the story mode was not as fun. The free play mode was arguably much more fun tho.
You gotta love how lawless The Sims are. Some dude just shows up, says you're lazy and takes your ride. Is he a cop or repoman? Nope, just some rich dude who is annoyed you don't have a job lol
My absolute favorite game and my intro to the Sims franchise. The satisfaction of getting the last career gnome and going through the cutscene made me actually cry LOL 😂
I was born in late 2000's but this game was my whole childhood since my dad has always been a huge videogame lover and we (plus my brother) used to play this together in ps2 (he never really cared about the splicit content in-game for some reason). I don't usually see many people taking about this specific version of the Sims, so I'm glad I found this video. Really bought some memories back :)
Omg!! I forgot they had a 2-player split screen.. although I hated how they split it into 2 triangles cause it was seriously the WORST way. My little bro and I had a blast playing it together.
Something I noticed when I played this game again a few years ago is that, if youre living at your moms house and your simoleons dip down into double digits, someone will call you on the phone and give you money. So what I did was bought a shit ton of expensive items (cause it doesnt count for assets) and when I left, my mom PAYED ME MONEY BACK for upgrading all of her furniture. I also just grinded away at skills so when I left I was at highest level possible and I never had to worry about buying skill machines for my character
Lol, I remember how hard it was to have that "ultimate party". You had to have like 8 Sims on the dance floor at once, or some other ridiculous number. I don't know how I know that, but that is the requirement.
This is what I love about older games. So many secret requirements you have to figure out on your own. Or you just go to the forum websites to get help.
I played this game for so many years of my childhood that it played a vital role in me getting glasses when my mom realized i was suddenly struggling to read the letters in the character naming section
It sucks that near sighted vision runs in my family genetically, but that makes sense now that I think about it. The xbox was the shiit back in the days. We had a schedule between all the siblings to play on it. 😅
i never played this version but was OBSESSED with the GBA version. very cool to see it now! also the sound of the sims burning to death will haunt my dreams
i was obsessed with this game and have lots of vivid memories of it; i'm not sure i ever actually completed the campaign though because it was so hard!?
I am living for all of these videos where you revisit older games! I frequently rewatch the My Sims video, loving this one already, and I’m excited to see more! You’re crushing it Lissy ✨❤️
Love these long form life sim videos! I tried playing Bustin’ Out as a kid but was too dumb to make any progress. Little me feels validated that you had trouble keeping your sims alive too
Pro gamer tip. Move back to Mom’s house when trying to build skill levels or friendships. The bus for work never arrives and you never get penalised for absence. So you get to maintain your mood and improve skills with no consequence. Also if you’ve spent money ons property and need more, move out! The permanent residents actually reimburse you! Careful though, as they’ll credit you any money on items of theirs that you’ve sold or destroyed. Oh and if you dislike Club Rubb. You ain’t seen nothing yet until you’ve been to Toane’s Gym. Trying to convince those miserable bastards to join the gym is a hell on earth task. My sim was so pathetic that the only sim he could convince to join for the longest time was his own mother.
You should play the story mode in Sims 2 for console! That was the first Sims game I was introduced to and its pretty similar to this one with the goals and promotions at work! It's stressful but i think it would still be a good video idea
@@badbeachindustry1615 I only played sims 2 PETS on my DS Lite hahaha, do you know if they were similar? on the DS you ran a veterinary hospital and had your own pet as well.
This game pains me, the endless wasted days/nights trying to move in to Tinsel Bluffs but I never could because my mood would drop one bar during the day and I didn't get promoted. UGH!!!!
It’s always funny to see you romance Malcolm like it’s not technically your father you’re making out with lol That’s also why Mom is pretty much beating the shit out of him xd Love this, subbing
I played this game as a child, I remember asking my mom to buy it for me and the person checking us out at Gamestop (or EB games can't remember lol) was like "are you sure??" to my mom, she was like yeah whatever bc i had been a sims fan for a couple years by then lolol. still love this game wish i had my copy
Busting out is my favorite and the only one I played was for Gameboy and I stole it from some kid who's family my mom and I were on vacation with. I liked it so much that I decided to steal it and on the day we left I stuffed the cartridge into a hole in my stuffed dog/bear thing. So...Jordan from like the mountains somewhere In Georgia sorry dude, your suspicions were right, I definitely took it.
okay, so i am saying this at the start of the video so i have no idea if you come across it yourself while playing, but i played the hell out of this as a kid and i remember my huge big brain strat of moving back in my mom every time i got promoted because your car pool NEVER showed up there. all you had to do was box your mom into her own closed off apartment in the corner so she could never bother you lol
One great tip is: stay with your mom until you maxed out your skills. You can also sell paintings and crafted garden gnomes for money to upgrade moms house early on. When i finally left she gave me like 20.000 simoleons. Never had to worry about money again. Moms house is also a great retreat if your sim is having a bad time. When i moved into a mew home i immediately renovated almost every room. In the club i even built a small house on the back for the three sims to live in. Places like the club and the gym had terrible living conditions right from the start. You can only marry someone from the three houses from freeplay. You can build your own spouse there and make them like you want them. Needless to say i 100%ed this game. I love it. The GBA sims games are waaaay different. You should really play those.
I will never get over this game ❤ Edit : Oh no you made a move on Malcolm, I was about to tell you the lore but I'm glad you included it in the video 😂😂😂
I used to play this game every morning before school and i maxed out every career and got all the gnomes - i was obsessed (i also had a little booklet with a cheat code for needs, which was the only reason i actually liked it)
I remember during my 3rd playthrough, i realized that your mood doesn't go critical so you can just continuously raise your skills. I think you only needed to have fun and use the bathroom from time to time. You never had to sleep tho.
If you play it like it’s supposed to then yes it’s hard. If you level up all skills and build gnomes until you reach at least 20k simoleons before you leave your moms house you’ll be golden. I think there was some glitch where you didn’t get tired at your moms house.
Oh man, I remember playing this as a kid and having a Gameshark or whatever. My favorite thing to do was to completely redesign each of the houses you end up staying at. It was a blast. 😄
I played this game on the PS2, the first Sims game that I play and still one of my favorites. I completed all the goals, got all promotions and got to move in Malcolm's Mansion.
I played this on gamecube as a VERY YOUNG child. Like preschool old. I remember playing while my sisters were at school. Myparents thought it was fine because it taught me "life skills" 😂
I've never played the sims but i really enjoy watching your videos about them and I enjoyed the pikmin one too, I dig your sense of humor. Also you are gorgeous
I loved this game! It was my first Sims game and was a great introduction to the series. By the way, there is a exploit to make this game much easier. You need to do it before you leave your mom's house. Basically certain needs, like sleeping, do not completely drain. So, you can spend as much time as you need building up all your skills before you leave. This means that you will be able to get promoted quick and you can spend more of your time focusing on the other goals.
Sims Bustin Out was my first Sims ever and to this day it is my fav. Sims games to exist. I remember how I moved from my Moms house to the house where the entire kitchen was in the garden. But most of the time I used to play freemode. I was like 5-6 years old. I also had Sims 2 and on PSP I had Sims 2 stranded but I still prefered Sims Bustin Out. I used to build several houses. One house was even build like a school. It had a music room, a painting room, working room, study room, workout room and things like that. I was just creative with my little brain. The only downside of this game was, that every house only had one floor. Or atleast I never figured out how to build a second floor. I was hyped about Sims 3 but this sadly didnt catch me up but I know you could build there a second floor. Sadly Sims nowadays is only a cashgrab anymore with all these dlcs.
Back in the day lol I started to sell Dudley & moms stuff to increase my mood to get better promotions at work. Later on I replaced what i sold with better appliances and entertainment. including room expansion. The game is about you and sometimes it benefits to be selfish. Read books, Get fit, make money become a simillionare. I love this game it is for sure a Masterpiece. Wish they brought a remastered version to the PS5. Dolphin emulator does a great job remastering it. Looks so much better on 4k
Before I got married, I swapped to my husband’s household and let him befriend all his roommates. And then when we got married, I had 3 extra friends. Their relationships never decayed and it HELPED a lot with getting to higher levels in careers
This game is the majority of my Sims memories from my childhood. I had played Sims 1 a bit before I played this game and maybe a bit of the Sims 2. Bustin Out is the game I fully 100% completed, I went through it multiple times and had it down to a science of completing it. I am very glad that this game was not just forgotten by everyone, and that other people know my pain when it comes to Sims needs bars in this game. I hated going back to Dudley's Trailer so much but I somehow made it work in each run. I think my favourite career path was being the criminal and how it felt like my sim became the better villain who usurped Malcolm. Also now whenever I see Malcolm Landgraab in any Sims game I become focused on hating them until the day that I die.
I really miss the days when people actually only focused on the video and didn't push in a random advertisement but at least you put it in the end of the video. Anyway, The Sims Bustin' Out is the one of the best Sims games as it improves on the original although it has some difficulty mostly as some Goals can be hard to complete without a guide (Party at Dudley's is the worst example). The fire theme in Bustin' Out is very scary, even more worse than The Sims' theme. The "You Passed Out" motif in The Urbz GBA/DS is also frightening to hear. One thing I don't think is covered, the GameCube version has the ability to link to GBA Bustin' Out if you have the appropriate cable and a GBA console. You can also do a 2 player Bust Out if you have a 2nd controller and memory card. I believe most people tend to run it on an emulator (Dolphin or PCSX2) and they probably don't set up another controller which I can understand.
Sims 1 came out when I was 12. THAT was hard. I beat Urbz: Sims in the City and unlocked every group's secret hangout for the GBA when I was like, 17. Easily. Sims games have gotten too easy, now it's boring. That's why I've been on a Sims 2 kick, lately. Thank science for emulators, I still play the old GBA Sims games.
I grew up playing this game on Xbox! Ah so many great and stressful memories lol. I'll never understand WHY keeping socials and romance interactions were so dang hard! I also tried proposing to Malcom and it was a no go. Apparently, your sim can only marry people from Freestreet. You could also marry a sim you created yourself. Everyone else is off-limits apparently.
After watching all those older Sims games , i
Still wonder how they managed to make the 4th one so bad
Because ea shutdown maxis the original developer of the sims.
And sims 4 mean to be an online games at first
i think the sims 4 would have ended up better if they hadn't repurposed project olympus' garbage into the sims 4's garbage. maybe not a lot better, but anything is better than what we got. (who knows, maybe they would have taken the series down a better route too)
The only thing the sims 4 got is it's building. It's better than all the sims in that regard
It’s like a beautiful women with no personality was their inspiration 😂
Mid 30s is that age where you simultaneously feel young and very,very old when someones first Sims experience wasn't Sims 1. It was glorious, playing it on my best friends family computer in the living room.
I'm 24 but I definitely played the heck out of Sims 1, my entire childhood was just figuring out how not to let them die from bad needs hahha
@CocoLicious As a 36-year-old, I feel this comment in my bones.
My first Sims experience was this exact game on the classic Xbox. I definitely prefer Sims 4.
This is so accurate!
I'm 34 and I only feel very, very old :D
Oh my god. I played this game as a kid, it was so impossible for me to keep going because all I did was work, barely get my needs up, go back to work.

Should gotten the magic gnome 😅
lol I used cheat codes as a kid. Life was a breeze
yes same but the 5 th time i played it tried a different approach i leveled up everything to the max then moving out cuz skills takes up so much time
@@markoosh you were just a smart little fucka ain’t cha
I stayed at my moms house for as long as possible building skills 😂
I played this as a kid and remember loving the campaign. I wish the newer games had a similar style campaign.
Same! Story mode needs to come back
Same. Absolutely loved bustin out
One of my most missed sims features.
That and some of the Urbz style gameplay though that is more like a Sim-lite.
Why does this look more fun to play than Sims4 lol
It was
Because it isssss
Well, Sims 4 isn't much of a game. The best thing on there is the building. After that, you have nothing to do lol
@SilkyLew I think that's due to the fact it was an online only concept before it became "Sims 4". But I agree, sims 1, 2 , and bustin out had actually objectives and a storyline, plot, twists and a world of pre-existing characters who all had long histories with the rest ofbthe world, people, and environment

I was obsessed with this game and Sims 2 on my PS2 as a kid and the handheld games are fantastic, I highly recommend playing all of them!
If you just like building houses and such, Sims 4 is the best sim ever. But that is all sims 4 have to offer lol
@@SilkyLew Sims 4 has the same energy as Animal Crossing New Horizons, lol. I do not like either game at all
I think wishes/wants were meant to replace this sort of thing while maintaining the sandbox feel. They messed that up big time in 4, though...
I think a free roam mode with achievements / goals / one MAJOR goal to work towards with the ability to keep playing after finishing it would be a good compromise.
I wouldn't be opposed to a wacky full-blown story mode in Sims 5 but I will be extremely surprised if they decide to do that again.

I burned my GameCube up one summer playing this game about 17 hours a day straight for a couple of weeks 😂
I played this game as a child, I remember asking my mom to buy it for me and the person checking us out at Gamestop (or EB games can't remember lol) was like "are you sure??" to my mom, she was like yeah whatever bc i had been a sims fan for a couple years by then lolol. still love this game wish i had my copy

Can you please cover the GBA ports of Sims Bustin Out and the Urbz pleeeeeeaase 🥹
Please sims 2 for ps2, it feels like a fever dream. You live on a yacht, nudist colony, ghost town. It was wild
I played it as a kid, I did not understand it, but I played it because I was obsesed with the sims. but also I played GTA as a little kid so .
One great tip is: stay with your mom until you maxed out your skills. You can also sell paintings and crafted garden gnomes for money to upgrade moms house early on. When i finally left she gave me like 20.000 simoleons. Never had to worry about money again. Moms house is also a great retreat if your sim is having a bad time.
When i moved into a mew home i immediately renovated almost every room. In the club i even built a small house on the back for the three sims to live in. Places like the club and the gym had terrible living conditions right from the start.
You can only marry someone from the three houses from freeplay. You can build your own spouse there and make them like you want them.
Needless to say i 100%ed this game. I love it.
The GBA sims games are waaaay different. You should really play those.
My parents used to rent this from Blockbusters for me to play, I was 12 at the time. I dont think they knew what was in it lol
Fun fact, if you change the dns you can still play the sims bustin out (ps2) online in 2023.
WAKE UP EVERYONE, NEW LISS THE LASS GAME REVIEW JUST DROPPED!!! 👏✨️
i feel like i hit a goldmine with this channel. so nostalgic and your voice is so enjoyable! happy to subscribe and so glad youtube brought me here :)
"I'm a seasoned Simmer..." Well yes, that's what got you burned to death in the first place.
I will never get over this game ❤
Edit : Oh no you made a move on Malcolm, I was about to tell you the lore but I'm glad you included it in the video 😂😂😂
I used to play this game every morning before school and i maxed out every career and got all the gnomes - i was obsessed (i also had a little booklet with a cheat code for needs, which was the only reason i actually liked it)
😂😂 not the cheat codes!! It was the ONLY WAY to survive this game. My little bro and I promise to never cheat until we are desperate. Hahaha
gamecube lol
in the one before bustin out i could never keep my kid from being taken away.
I'm 60% sure I played this game with Donkey Konga Bongos
I remember during my 3rd playthrough, i realized that your mood doesn't go critical so you can just continuously raise your skills. I think you only needed to have fun and use the bathroom from time to time. You never had to sleep tho.
If you play it like it’s supposed to then yes it’s hard. If you level up all skills and build gnomes until you reach at least 20k simoleons before you leave your moms house you’ll be golden. I think there was some glitch where you didn’t get tired at your moms house.
okay the reaction to the kid when he grows a little absolutely sent me
Oh man, I remember playing this as a kid and having a Gameshark or whatever. My favorite thing to do was to completely redesign each of the houses you end up staying at. It was a blast. 😄
PLS play Urbz for the DS it is THE fever dream of all time
I played this game on the PS2, the first Sims game that I play and still one of my favorites. I completed all the goals, got all promotions and got to move in Malcolm's Mansion.
This was my favorite game as a kid!! My introduction to the sims 😂
Pretty questionable 😭
Back in the day when Sims was hard like real life
The lady in the window was dressed as Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell so I guess it’s an Easter egg.
Getting promoted wasn't the challenge here, getting married was.
Yess and I remember I would never woohoo when my parents were around
I loved playing this game as a kid! This and The Urbz were damn good sims games.
23:09 Kissing and hoping they caught us 🤭💕🤩
So excited for the urbz! I don't remember which was my first Sims, if that one or castaway, either way love them both
This game is so good. I revisited last year. And I was addicted. That’s how the sims should be. We need a story mode like this so bad.
I love this game. I played it on GameCube growing up. It was so much fun me and my sister had our own save and would see who could get farther
I used to play this for HOURS on my gamecube when I was like 8. It was so hard. I don't know how far I got but man I'd kill to play it again
10:00 describes my daily life struggle so well
omg i played this game hard core and have it now on gamecube!
I played this on gamecube as a VERY YOUNG child. Like preschool old. I remember playing while my sisters were at school. Myparents thought it was fine because it taught me "life skills" 😂
I've never played the sims but i really enjoy watching your videos about them and I enjoyed the pikmin one too, I dig your sense of humor. Also you are gorgeous
Omg the MEMORIESSS lmao my very first sims game, soo nostalgic 🥹 loved this video!! Eta - i canNOT wait for the Urbz video!!
I loved this game! It was my first Sims game and was a great introduction to the series.
By the way, there is a exploit to make this game much easier. You need to do it before you leave your mom's house. Basically certain needs, like sleeping, do not completely drain. So, you can spend as much time as you need building up all your skills before you leave. This means that you will be able to get promoted quick and you can spend more of your time focusing on the other goals.
Ahhhh I played bustin out on ps2 and I was obsessed. With that one & the urbz 💕
Loved the story mode, got me into the little npc story modes in sims 2 - being a single mom was rough
Sims Bustin Out was my first Sims ever and to this day it is my fav. Sims games to exist. I remember how I moved from my Moms house to the house where the entire kitchen was in the garden. But most of the time I used to play freemode. I was like 5-6 years old. I also had Sims 2 and on PSP I had Sims 2 stranded but I still prefered Sims Bustin Out. I used to build several houses. One house was even build like a school. It had a music room, a painting room, working room, study room, workout room and things like that. I was just creative with my little brain. The only downside of this game was, that every house only had one floor. Or atleast I never figured out how to build a second floor. I was hyped about Sims 3 but this sadly didnt catch me up but I know you could build there a second floor. Sadly Sims nowadays is only a cashgrab anymore with all these dlcs.
This was my first Sims game!
Back in the day lol I started to sell Dudley & moms stuff to increase my mood to get better promotions at work. Later on I replaced what i sold with better appliances and entertainment. including room expansion. The game is about you and sometimes it benefits to be selfish. Read books, Get fit, make money become a simillionare. I love this game it is for sure a Masterpiece. Wish they brought a remastered version to the PS5. Dolphin emulator does a great job remastering it. Looks so much better on 4k
Before I got married, I swapped to my husband’s household and let him befriend all his roommates. And then when we got married, I had 3 extra friends. Their relationships never decayed and it HELPED a lot with getting to higher levels in careers
This was one of my favourite games as a kid. I remember keeping full and rested was a real pain though.
I had it on the Gamecube n it SLAYED
This game is the majority of my Sims memories from my childhood. I had played Sims 1 a bit before I played this game and maybe a bit of the Sims 2. Bustin Out is the game I fully 100% completed, I went through it multiple times and had it down to a science of completing it. I am very glad that this game was not just forgotten by everyone, and that other people know my pain when it comes to Sims needs bars in this game. I hated going back to Dudley's Trailer so much but I somehow made it work in each run. I think my favourite career path was being the criminal and how it felt like my sim became the better villain who usurped Malcolm. Also now whenever I see Malcolm Landgraab in any Sims game I become focused on hating them until the day that I die.
obsessed with watching Liss succeed in these complicated ass games..top tier productivity content
I really miss the days when people actually only focused on the video and didn't push in a random advertisement but at least you put it in the end of the video. Anyway, The Sims Bustin' Out is the one of the best Sims games as it improves on the original although it has some difficulty mostly as some Goals can be hard to complete without a guide (Party at Dudley's is the worst example).
The fire theme in Bustin' Out is very scary, even more worse than The Sims' theme. The "You Passed Out" motif in The Urbz GBA/DS is also frightening to hear.
One thing I don't think is covered, the GameCube version has the ability to link to GBA Bustin' Out if you have the appropriate cable and a GBA console. You can also do a 2 player Bust Out if you have a 2nd controller and memory card. I believe most people tend to run it on an emulator (Dolphin or PCSX2) and they probably don't set up another controller which I can understand.
This game was so good. I loved it in my teen years.
The only console Sims game outside of Castaway I've ever enjoyed.
Sims 1 came out when I was 12. THAT was hard. I beat Urbz: Sims in the City and unlocked every group's secret hangout for the GBA when I was like, 17. Easily. Sims games have gotten too easy, now it's boring. That's why I've been on a Sims 2 kick, lately. Thank science for emulators, I still play the old GBA Sims games.
I grew up playing this game on Xbox! Ah so many great and stressful memories lol. I'll never understand WHY keeping socials and romance interactions were so dang hard!
I also tried proposing to Malcom and it was a no go. Apparently, your sim can only marry people from Freestreet. You could also marry a sim you created yourself. Everyone else is off-limits apparently.
