The evolution of lore in The Sims 4// Sims 4 lore in EVERY world! 

I've always been the type of player to make a whole family and design their whole house and then get bored immediately and do it all over again... but that's less of a preference now and more of a necessity. every sim acts exactly the same way; traits and emotions do nothing, nobody knows anybody else, you can switch your whole lifes aspiration whenever you want, so there's no point of anything... so we buy every expansion and still need mods to do anything fun smh

My sims got married and hired a caterer. Agnes Crumplebottom was the caterer for some reason. She whacked them with her purse during their own wedding for kissing. It was wild.

I lured Victor Feng into my basement and removed the door. So now he's wordworking and painting for me to make me money while I just take care of chickens all day. :)

When I first bought the Vampires pack, I remember creating a vampire sim and I played with him and his wife so long that when I checked other townies’ home, all houses were empty because they all died 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I think EA is always trying to justify their laziness by saying they give more freedom to the players that way so they can make their own stories, which is BS, because we always can either way. The lack of memories, relationships and history between families is what simmers find so extremely dissappointing and what gives the Sims 4 a constant sense of emptiness that the previous games (with less graphics and resources) didn't have. I am glad to see they finally get it and are tackling the issue in the last expansion packs.

The Sims 4 lore had SO much potential if they were pre-established properly. They're actually interesting however some stories cannot just work because of the lack of such, or the lack of stakes or features being implied in their situation. Stories like Naoki Ito's mission to modernize Komorebi has NO impact with the lack of Real Estate and property existence, and for Megumi there isn't even a career for snowboarding how can she be a gold medalist???

I wish the sims 4 had the same kind of lore like the pleasant family. It was so funny to have that whole scripted sequence of Daniel cheating. I long for those days. Pre determined relationships in the sims 4 hardly even make sense most of the time.

I love the way Sims look in Sims 4. It's such a shame the game is a bit boring. Sims 2 had the best worlds and families. Sims 3 Supernatural was amazing tho...I was obsessed with having a town like Once Upon a Time basically. It was fun.

the bffs actually have more lore then people realize they are based on 3 sims with whole backstories and multiple games , if you haven't guessed yet they come from the mysims universe

Whenever Basemental asks me to pick a drugdealer, I always choose someone from Partihaus, to explain how they manage to pay rent :D

When I was becoming an actress in sims 4 there was this gig that features the crumplebottoms. It gives a bit of a summary of their story.

There is a vlad painting with SO MUCH LORE and I think you can see him pre-vampire and what I assume to be a family member or wife

One little detail I enjoyed: The Delgato's cat is the father of one of the Lynx cats.

The way I adore your videos and your voice is something else

To think I robbed, murdered or just deleted most of these people.

I joined the paragons and stole the club leaders boyfriend and took her leading position 😂

the sims 4 backstories are actually quite interesting! it’s just the fact that they didn’t go the extra step if you know what i’m saying.(in the earlier worlds/packs)

The best storytelling ever was TS2. And it has the best storytelling/photo feature. In TS4 all shots for the entire game are dumped together, not by household or even by world. So off game, I have to make individual files for each save and move them in and out to maintain some form of order.

Wow. I never even thought about the whole Apple/Orange! Makes so much sense!😂

I really appreciate you doing this video! I am in the process of rebuilding the Sims 4 worlds for my own personal save file and you saved me a bit of time in understanding the relationships and lack there of between the pre-made Sims that come in the game. I can see that to make the gameplay of the future for me more fun, I need to create relationships between the Sims that I place. 💜💜💜

Whenever I have gone to the goth household Mortimer is always angry and throwing drinks at his children. 😅

The Roomies family is based on the tv show New Girl. I love that show and Zooey Deschanel!

From my understanding, the Roomies in Oasis Springs are based on characters from the show New Girl.

Can I just say... I love the description of the Munch family, funny but to the point with just the hint of sass. It's why I love the commentary on this channel.

Usually, alternate timelines don’t seem cohesive to the previous iterations of a series, but I believe this one may be. The Sims 4 being in an alternate timeline fits well with the theory that after being abducted, Bella Bachelor was sent back in time to TS3, writing books like the infamous, “Where’s Bella”, thus changing the future so that she is never abducted. TS4, I believe, is that future.

what's with these sims having shitty relationships with their spouses? 😭

There is SOME lore in Windenburg and Brindleton Bay. However the lore can be found in the community lots rather than the premade households. Chryllsim has some great videos on it.

In our game, our adult "son" met Munch while on a date with several other women. He immediately fell in love and ended up marrying her and having a beautiful baby together. They abandoned the oldest, got the middle in line, and her youngest ended up loving our "son" and his little brother lol

You forgot Kim Goldgloom who apparently has a thing for Michael Bell and also you forgot about the Mayor's son, Rahul who wanted to venture life outside of henford-o-bagley but didn't coz he doesn't want to leave behind his mom.

Also In the cottage living world, Kim Goldbloom who owns the grocery stand which is across the street from Agatha’s, has a crush on Michael bell. And the teenage daughter of the Watson family has some romance stuff going on with the mayors son.

As a lover of the premade households and someone who plays rotationally on a regular basis it’s extremely annoying that EA didn’t put in any effort into the lore whatsoever 😞😞

😂😂😂 I love the “shit on the carpet” analogy at the end. Perfect!

I have all the packs but I don’t know any of those families 😑 I know the vampires and of course I know the townies in Willow creek and oasis springs and that’s it. This video was helpful

I can’t get enough of your dry wit and somewhat sarcastic delivery in these videos

i wanna note that the sims not showing up in the relationship box doesn't mean they never talked cause my sim can talk to any sim but until i click and suggest friendly introduction that's when the relationship shows up.

Diego came over to my house during the winter and decided to swim. He didn’t make it long, but his ghost started painting for us.

Its become a routine for me to play your videos while i play the sims i enjoy the way you speak and you say funny things i enjoy your videos

There’s a lot of sims 4 lore in the item descriptions, would love to see a video on it!

Whenever I'm watching your last video, I get a notification that you've made another!! Keep up the early Christmas presents ✨

Bob and Eliza are absolutely iconic honestly

I'm pretty sure Morgyn is also The sims first premade Non-binary sim.

4:54 candy is a character from the game my sims which I loved playing as a kid! So cool, I just noticed this!

21:26 "to help evergreen harbour as green as possible" Me and my 20 Generator : "Nonono, that's not gonna happen"

I think we're fairly certain Jacques murdered his wife, then covered it up by lying, most likely. Kinda makes sense as when you start the game, he is quite high up in the criminal career.

Great video! I love learning about the pre-made Sims characters. The animation of smelling the air that started with Bust The Dust is the woooorst. Everyone is out there sniffing away. So ridiculous.

Venessa is obsessed with my sim Jasmine. She calls multiple times a day and shows up around my sims house all the time! She even got Jazmine struck by lightning… 😅

This video is so good! Easily one of the best explanation on The Sims 4 on the internet.

Can we talk about the shades that Victor Feng was wearing though?😂🙌

You did an AMAZING job with pronunciation of the names!

I think Siobhan is actually dating that Romeo guy when the game starts. Though, to be fair, aside from that, Windenburg doesn't have much else in terms of inter-household relationships. It's one of the reasons I'm trying to make a "Full World" save - so that I can start "new" saves without having to constantly fix relationships/skills/clothing. Windenburg does have "hidden" households though - the ghost couple of the Von Haunte Estate. The mechanics for them is kind of weird. I don't think they ever expected people to do anything with them, such as move them in - they don't have any relationships or last names (despite the lore actually giving them one) and they just duplicate if you move them into another household.

People say there’s not many gay couples in the sims but in the sims4 even though all sims are pansexual I counted like 4-5 premade lgbtq couples

You did an amazing job pronouncing all those name!!!!

There is quite a bit of lore to unravel from Vlad

This was so well done. Thank you. I play a lot of sims, but I learned a lot from this video.

There actually was suppose to be connections to the Bro and Fryes households in Windenburg. Sergio and Siobhan are suppose to be in a relationship but nope, nothing! Some of my newer saves that have actually established the fact they're dating without player intervention but who knows, its the Sim 4.

I never noticed this until your video, but I just realized Catarina Lynx is a tiny, itty-bitty nod to the Sims 2: Pets expansion. I just looked it up on the Wiki and yeah, this is known, so I'm not being all original here, lol. But I thought I'd share that someone made a tiny, tiny effort there. When you get Sims 2 Pets, there's a sim in the bin (under occupied houses, not the family bin) called Tara Cat who looks pretty dang similar to Catarina. She lives alone, has light skin, green eyes, red hair, and is wearing a hat. It's just that she has three kitties instead of 4. Tara is also the daughter of Ginia Cat from the Sims: Unleashed expansion, so there's a Sims 1 connection for her. That has nothing to do with Catarina, lol - just adding in that trivia. But hey, at least someone on the team remembered Sims 2 lore.

I've watched this video a few times the past week...such good background noise I could watch it over and over. if you feel like doing more of these I'd love it! maybe for worlds in the sims 3? I clicked through Aurora Skies and it was pretty interesting 😃

i feel the the windenburg townies know each other a lot more like Sergio Romeo is dating Siobhan Fyres in my games and with mcc they always get married and even if you interfere and they don't they end up having an affair

yo is the dj named candy a reference to the mysims games? i remember dj candy being my favorite character lol

Since I don't even have like half of these worlds yet, this was very cool getting to meet all the families & know everything about them 🙃but I don't know what is up with EA having so many unusual names for these newest pre-made families that a lot of people have trouble pronouncing. I usually just use cheats for those hard, crazy names & make them normal

The stories and relationships they give to the families isn't related to the game at all and doesn't affect anything. For example, if summer and liberty are desperately in love with travis, doesn't it make sense that when travis flirts with one of them she would accept it?

my sim who was living in san myshuno was neighbors with raj rasoya and his mom and i got them to be best friends and wanted her to be with him but he did NOT want her lmao no matter how hard i tried he did not want to be with her! guess he really does care about his mother's approval lmao

I like the idea of pre-made same-sex couples being added instead of having to play through generations just to get two guys or two gals to share an on-screen kiss together.

My first sim was an athlete with a dog. No friends, some video games, on days off from work she'd go to the beach with her loyal pup and play all day. What a lovely life.

I’ve noticed Tina Tinker is not mom to Olive, so Yasmine must have had Olive before they got together.

During my new play through I am trying to keep in mind lore when it comes to my made Sims Vs Pre Installed Sims. Dont want to wreck someone else life.

Your voice is so nice to hear, you could talk about grass and i'd still watch your vids tbh.

"The Delgato family and their cats..." ...thats a .... dog.

Wait, what happened to Dustin Broke? He was premade and placed in Del Sol Valley.

Love when you said Michael Ball 😂 Great video!

I like to think that the sims 4 timeline is connected to its predecessors', but something really crazy happened that scrambled and messed up the whole timeline, it is a pretty crazy story but... if you are interested... it is below: 😁 "Alexander Goth grew with a huge trauma of having his mother gone missing, his father died and his sister moved on, but he never really overcame the trauma, so, he decided to become a scientist as an adult and figure out a time traveling machine that so he could travel to the past and save his mother before she goes missing. He was sort of successful, well, he failed a few times, but no mistake was worse than what he accounted as his hit, he arrived in the exact night his mother went missing, but... he got waay to close the action, Nina, Dina and Don were working together to get rid of Bella, and he arrived right in the middle with his time machine, but, the time machine was too close making Dom, Nina and Dina vanish into the time portal, but, Alexander made the machine to pass at most, 2 people, but Dom, Dina and Nina were 3 and that made the portal unstable, they were thrown 50 years at the past with no memory, Nina and Dina were thrown in Barnacle Bay and Dom, at Riververview. An inportant, thing I, on purpose, dind't mention is, the machine Alexander created is the same time machine we see in The Sims 3 ITF, but the future scientists improved so it could support more than two people, but other than that it works just the same (this info will help you to imagine what comes next better)... instead of opening a portal and closing right after, the machine created a portal that didn't close and that portal started creating a storm, and opening little holes in space and time, lots of things that weren't there suddenly appeared and others that were suddenly disappeared, scared, Alexander hugged his mom and said that everything would be ok, they wold be safe, right after he did this, they both entered the machine that, instead of taking them a little to the future, took them to an alternate future one that Alexander always wished for, he was a kid again but remembered everything, his family was all together and there was no disagreement between the families (there was no relationship at all actually) they were in The Sims 4 timeline" Btw, this tory also explains what's up with that ship that fell in Oasis Landing that the Time Traveler dude couldn't track when appeared, only that it was "somewhen" between The Sims 3 present and the future (Oasis Landing future) the ship appeared after Alexander left with bella it had all the schematics of the future Alexander created accidentally for him and his family (that's why it has The Sims 4 related stuff in it)... Anyway, if you don't like a crazy story or just didn't enjoy this, you probably also didn't even make it here, so if u did, thank you very much, I do appreciate it 😁😁😁

I like that you get to make your own story for your sims.

I want a do-over with the original Sims games. I played 1 and 2 and was not aware of lore or pre-existing relationships. I remember the Goth family, but I never played them or interacted with those Sims. Do people really play pre-made families? I thought we were all creating our own families, same as how I play Sims 4 now. The most annoying thing to me is if my Sims do meet a Sim that I didn't create that I think would be worth pursuing a relationship with, they are usually married. I keep adding single Sims from the gallery so there are actual Sims to hook up with. Then sometimes, by the time they show up, they are already married.

I always see Nancy langrab flirting with other sims and other sims flirting with her

I love how you (Whiny Brit) and FGG and Plumbella use colorful words.. you's say it for how it is instead of beating around the bush like most Simmers do. If anyone else (who's reading this) knows any other Simmers who says colorful words, please let me know.. I 'm looking to expand my subscriptions :) Tyia.

💜❤️💜 Thank you for this... I don't own a lot of packs so always wondered where they come from when I watch let's plays. I only had Island Living, Cats & Dogs, Parenthood, Spa day, spooky stuff... And recently got Seasons and Dream Home Decorator.

Rebellious gloomy fucker PLSSSS I cackled at that

even though the townies are boring when it comes to their lore i do love when they take control of their lives behind the scenes like i have a save file and Judith Ward moved out of her mansion and got married and now lives in oasis springs Michael Bell also moved out of his cottage got married and adopted two dogs and another townie adopted 2 cats 2 toddlers and a dog like idk i love when they have their own little lives 😌 (also one of these days i'm going to just play as one of the premade sims instead of making my own and see how that goes...)

My favorite lore is the love triangle between Liberty, Summer, and Travis and when I boot up a new game without mods they're all not even friends 🙃

The fact that if we were talking about the Sims 2/3 30 minutes would not be enough to fully talk about ONE Family's lore

I love this so much ! Exactly what I searched for lmao

You forgot that the Mayors Son has a crush on the Teen girl in henford on bagly.

I don't know but anyone else but I cannot get Becca Clark to leave me alone😂. Every save she blows me up

Ive heard a sims 4 Lore update is coming up... whats everyones thoughts? How might this look like? Do we think they will bring back memories?

I've always been curious what would happen if you took a pregnant sim and cheated to have them abducted would they still have the original baby or the alien baby or both?

Love the video! Very interesting 😌 however, just thought I’d make a comment here to add that I recently learned that the Roomies family in Oasis Springs was loosely based off of the American television show called “New Girl” 😭🤯 had no idea about this until someone made a post about it somewhere on social media and within that post, another simmer confirmed that a sim guru or creator had actually confirmed this too. Just thought I’d add that little interesting tid-bit of information 😇 for anyone who cares. 😅

Johnny Zest I have a HUGE storyline going on with him tbh... He married one of my sims but before he married my sim. My sim had a son with Nancy Landgraab. So now he lives with my sim and his.... brother?

Windenburg Sims do know other Sims in town. But if you don’t have them marked as Played, the relationships in the household are subject to culling. You can mark them all as played before you reach the 3am culling time and they’ll stick. The wiki has their starting relationships under each sim. I think relationship culling is going to take the wind out of the lore update’s sails.

We need a refresh of thid video!!!

Plasma vampires? Like 90s animated Morbius?

Good video. I hope they (EA) do a good job with the lore that they promised us would be coming in a patch for the past games/worlds.

I dont think we should pat the Sims team on the back for getting better when they ran it into the gound in the first place. You guys have gone bloody lace when you already had a amazing blueprint that was Sims 2. Small details in both bios, relationships and details in general. We should expect far better than what we get in TS4 since they already have proven that they have the ability.

I’ve legitimately never seen some of these townies.

Mila is always the big flirt with my male characters 😆 calling all the time and wanting to hang out

One time, when I tried playing with mods off, Lilith Vatore snuck into my Sim's household at night and drank his blood. LILITH, NOT VLAD, FREAKING LILITH. She's got some secret life not mentioned in the lore. Lol.

Thankyou so much for this I just can't read into all of it myself 😂

You are wrong about the Windenburg premades not knowing eachother. The reason why they have no social contacts outside their households is because the game culls relationships constantly. I have MCCC installed and disabled this and when you then start a fresh game they are friends or accuaintances with their club members and Siobhan Fyres is actually the girlfriend of Sergio Romeo. The paragons aren't hostile with the Renegades though but get their clubs together in a meeting and they will rip eachother apart

peeps said the sims 4 is alternative universe where bella goth not get kidnapped because bella in the sims 3 keep making the book about it and she died in lunar lake(confirmed by the dev apparently that shes the same bella who missing?), so the other bella(small) now grow up without kidnapping..

I love this video, it's exactly what I was looking for.

And then becca drops out of uni to look after her gran on the ranch where she meets her future husband and has two beautiful twin daughters one of which meets julias son at uni and they graduate together as friends. The cycle finally being linked
