The sims is one of the most successful games out there, love it or hate it, it has received an overwhelming following over the years, it has won multiple awards and after over 20 years it’s still going and still making the big bucks.
But in order to understand how the sims became what it is today we will have to travel back in time to the very early beginnings, 1984, buckle in gang it’s time for a history lesson!
In this video I’ll be talking about the entire story of the sims, a full timeline, from the games creator, Will wright’s first games, right the way through to the latest sims game, touching on each spin off in between.

    Sims 2 was such an adult game, Sims 3 was not that chidish either but afterwards... They basically made the game for much more younger audience. Sims 4 is unplayable without mods, at least for me. I hope they don't continue to this "childish" gameplay type in their further Sims titles.
  • i’ve only ever played the sims 4, but all these previous games just look so much more interesting and immersive
  • The Sims game taught my son to read because it associated written words to specific objects and actions. He started out asking "What does this say" and after only about a month, one day he asked "Does this say make coffee?" and it did, and seriously within 2 months after that with some extra help and rewards, he was reading fluently.

    I started out on the sims 3 when I was 11 and I remember being SO dissapointed by the sims 4…. Sims 2 and 3 literally beat it in every aspect, it feels so limiting and I think that’s the reason they’ve brought out about two million expansion/stuff/game packs. I literally just don’t play it anymore and I’ve gone back to playing the sims 3 cause I just don’t have fun playing the sims 4
  • @Trilingualeks
    aaahhh the Sims ... you either play for three weeks day and night, forgetting your real family and friends, not eating or sleeping, or you don't play for months. No in-between. ❤️
  • @j.t.7671
    The jump from The Sims to The Sims 2 was amazing. I'm feeling so much nostalgia. I started with The Sims and The Sims 4 seems like it would have come after The Sims, gameplay wise.
  • @Amira_Jessa
    I want to know why they reduced traits to just 3. i loved sims 3's 5 trait option. Definitely made them more unique.
  • @hiso714
    Sims 3 had it all!! Best game packs, best interactions, interesting sims, colour wheel, open world... Sims 4 isn't even half of that tbh. I only play the Sims 4 because the modders and cc creators are super talented and do give us good gameplay.
  • @kitchi707
    This gave me so much nostalgia. I remember being 8 years old, seeing The sims in the store and begging my mom for it. Pretty sure it was rated M. but It was so ahead of its time.
  • @sarahhuiber5269
    This is probably the most thorough history of the Sims franchise that I've ever watched! Thank you!
  • @danagricken4197
    The Sims 2 is still amazing. So many good memories of playing it as a child!
  • I grew up playing the sims 3 and when you showed the favorites lost memories came back. I completely forgot that part existed
  • @SweetLala25
    i feel so bad for those who only ever played TS4. I freaking love Onlyabidong!! His vids are awesome. I love watching videos like this. While I already know all this information or have seen others make videos similar to it, somehow you made it more interesting lol thank you.
  • @janelles.2659
    This brings back so many memories for me. I'm an introvert, and would sit in my parents basement at age 17 at my desktop computer playing The Sims for hours. I loved playing and creating families throughout the years of this whole franchise. I'm 38 now and still enjoy playing. I have a family of my own now, but when they all fall asleep it's like old times for me and I turn back into that 17 year old and stay up late playing Sims 4 for hours again 😍
  • @yz4043
    Saying "blow shit up" in a sweet posh British accent made my year.
  • @JojoBerlin89
    I Played Sims since 2001 .. Cant believe that im still playing it Hahaha.. Sims 2 remains my all time Favorite.. i had to skip Sims 3 cause i hated the look of the sims.. Sims 4 is the Most beautiful one of them all But really misses out on the gameplay. Im spoiled by sims 2
  • @Jafaa__
    We need sims 1 buy&build, sims 2 storyline’s, sims 3 packs &colourwheel, and sims 4 visuals &buy/build mode! Sounds like the perfect sims to me😍
  • @jhart1127
    This is super random but I've had such a shitty day. I work for the NHS and have such incredible burnout. I've just run a bubble bath, got a cold glass of pinot and am about to press play on your video. Again, apologies RANDOM ALERT, but this video is such a welcome treat to unwind. Thank you 💐😊
  • @jena.8201
    I wish I was within the community during the period between the sims and the sims 2, I can’t imagine the absolute thrill people must have felt upon seeing/ playing it with how it was overhauled
  • @theberrby6836
    How could we have have a Sims 5 if Sim 4 doesn't even feel full? :(
