So today I installed the sims 1 on my laptop and it installed fine but because I have windows 10 it wouldn't load. No biggie, I found a youtube video that helped me and it worked! I had my three daughters help me create our sims family. They're all 10 and younger. Anyhow we buy a house and I remember the cheat rosebud; from my sims 1 days when I was a little older than my oldest daughter. In the first five minutes, our house is in flames because of the genie. It burns everything in the whole room because we forgot a fire detector. Silly me. I hardly use them in the sims 4. Anyhow one of our sims dies. We exit the game without saving and try again, but it just feels like we're trying to keep them happy 24/7. It's so hard for our sims to do anything besides eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom because their needs drop so fast. Was it always this hard? I don't remember because it's been years since I've played. I like the random phone calls though and the house fires. I like that you never know what's going to happen, and all the sims are really interesting.

You have to stack points. Like for eating, a better fridge, a better counter, a better stove, more skill points all add up to getting full and lasting longer.
Better furniture offers better comfort etc. Better stuff for fun offers faster filling of the fun motive. It's all about trying to get better stuff so you have time to live. But just when you think you have the hang of it, and get them scheduled an event will happen that will make you have to go down a different road, lol. You can see from TS4 how watered down the game has really become. I bet you can go to the store and not worry about your Sims in TS4, lol
If your interested :)

The thing I've found hardest s caring for babies. I've never had so many taken away as I have recently. Definitely the hardest babies in the series.
Social is the hardest for me in that game... and never talk on the phone, they seem to always loose friends that way. Takes so long to get friends.
I definitely felt more invested in the original sims. If you messed up, there were consequences and I liked that.
I've definitely left the room and didn't worry about my sims on Sims 4 at all. I don't know about going to the store lmao.
> @JessPlays I'll have to check it out! :) I haven't even tried caring for a baby yet. I'm still trying to get used to taking care of two sims. Things are definitely easier in the last few sims games.
Thank you, i hope you enjoy :) Sims 1 sims are soo hard to look after! I dont even know how child me managed to play the game lol
And why so many think TS4 is nothing but a TV show that plays itself. No way you can go to the bathroom and leave TS1. And pretty lucky if you try that with TS2. TS4 just go on to bed, it will be fine. lol
I don't remember the answers any more.
I never understood that. You call to chat and they would get offended?! That was definitely at the top of my annoyance list.
1. Marriage proposals. Can't say yes on an empty stomach! :smile:
2. Talking on the phone.
3. Friend requirements for jobs were crazy-high.
4. Superstar expansion... Your higher-level jobs have a random element, so you always have a chance of failing, and losing fame.
But to EA’s surprise especially very young teen girls loved TS1 even though they usually never had played the SimCity at all. Therefore TS1 got a lot of EPs which EA hadn’t planned at all because the sales numbers for TS1 and its EPs were huge and way above what EA even in their most optimistic moments would have expected.
For those reasons TS1 became a game which was quite hard because it was targeted at older gamers and with cheap primitive outdated graphics which made it look like something from the beginning of the 1980s and the EPs became quite difficult for EA to make and for us to install (it didn’t even have a chance to work unless we installed them in the right order and even if we did it often didn’t work in our first attempt).
So TS1 had a short lifespan of only 4 years while all later Sims games have had a lifespan of 5 yrs. But already TS2 got a much bigger budget and instead was targeted mainly at about 13 yrs old girls. Therefore all later Sims games have had much better graphics and a lower difficulty degree than TS1 had
