I loved my sims kingdom, I played it over and over again and yet I never caught this! I guess I never really talk to the BFF family a lot when I play the sims4 but this is so cool to see. I grew up on my sims kingdom
The MySims series is a masterpiece and I will not back down! Wii and DS, Kingdom, and Agents were all so good, and I really wanna see Buddy and Lindsay show up in the mainline games too! They were the best companion characters.
Remember in Sims 2 where you would enter the Caliente household and actually have a situation going on, their memories of what had just happened, and not to mention the Goth house where the wedding is literally about to go down first time you play - that’s what I miss.
Man I never played the Sims 2. That sounds awesome. I have so much trouble getting into character with Townies because they so often start off as blank slates who have just moved in.
I hope the BFFs get a refresh. Not before the Landgraabs or anything, but someday lol. At LEAST fix their relationships to portray a love triangle, let them have a one sided crush on Travis if you're going for the love triangle story yknow?
They should also give them any relationship at all! The household is called "BFFs" and the bio says just as much, but in the relationship panel they're all just acquaintances with each other? :///
@@gwendolynrobinson3900 it comes with sentiments that came with snowy escape, but the crush thing came with highschool years. Relationships cant be one sided but sentiments can so its rly cool
I've always played this house with a TRUE love triangle. Liberty has a crush on Travis, Travis has a crush on Summer, and Summer has a crush on Liberty
weird ive always had similar but in the way that lib and travis like each other, summer likes travis and lib but also just anyone and everyone. she flirts with all my sims but usually somehow either ends up with a snowy escape, sulani, eco living townie OR j huntington.
i was obsessed with my sims as a kid so i remember being really excited when i saw them in the sims 4 lol! my sims had so many good characters (and games tbh) its such a shame the series is basically dead now
Same! I also was so happy finding My Sims figurines (collectibles) in the world. I always filled all my houses with them lol We need a new My Sims game (＃＞＜)
EA should give us a love triangle scenario and the BFF household would be the perfect household to play it. These could be the possible outcomes: A) Travis ends up with Summer, B) Travis ends up with Liberty, C) Travis picks neither of them and they all just stay friends, and D) Liberty and Summer give up on Travis and end up dating each other. I think that would be a fun scenario to play through. We need more scenarios in general, honestly. Especially relationsip themed ones. I want drama!
Summer is actually my legacy heir sim lol. She has 4 kids, and now is a grandma to 2 kids. She was married to a sim I brought in the game and then Travis had more chemistry with her. Eventually Travis cheated on summer autonomously with Delilah Corey and I couldn't keep that rat. Summer is a gardener and a florist so she killed them both with a death flower arrangement.
I loved mysims so much and I feel so sad with how dirty they did Candy and Yuki in Windenburg as well! Because they're a whole other mysims reference in the game
The thing is that unlike Summer, Liberty and Travis, Candy and Yuki actually have their MySims selves present in TS4's collectables. Since some of the MySims characters that also appear as collectables show up in their original art style in the Voidcritter poster from Kids Room Stuff, I personally headcanon that the Behr sisters grew up watching that show and while Yuki coincidentally had the same name as a character in it, Candy gave herself a stage name when she decided she wanted to be a DJ. It kind of fits with them having those collectables in their rooms in Windenberg. Now if only EA didn't confirm that Candy was, indeed, supposed to be the same Candy from MySims, my headcanon could be canon-canon...
I had no idea the mysims characters were going to be in the sims 4 and I almost cried when I saw Liberty in the welcome wagon. Her and Travis were in every save file I had for mysims (I never got Summer because I was too lazy to move people in after star level five, but I loved her in Agents).
The lack of a romance bar reminds me of my dissatisfaction with the Caliente redo where there was a description but no romance bar at all so you would never know!!
Yes I was so upset when I saw that! The original Calientes in the sims 4 also didn't have any romance, but I thought at least the redo would fix that. Nope 🙃
Yuki and Candy Behr are also from MySims, they're two of the lil MySims figures you can find in the game. Originally Yuki is a Siouxsie Sioux style goth, and Candy is 'DJ Candy Supergroove', and they're not originally related.
I'm actually very disappointed that EA confirmed that Candy Behr is supposed to be DJ Candy. I prefer to headcanon that she and Yuki grew up watching the Voidcritters show (since some MySims characters that also have collectables show up on the Voidcritters poster from Kids Room Stuff in the original MySims art style) and that's why they have the collectables of the characters they share names of in their respective rooms. I always play them as though Yuki shared her name by coincidence but Candy changed hers as a stage name when she became a DJ.
I didn't even know the household lore when I first played Sims 4. Travis was the first guy to walk past my lot, so my male sim seduced and married him. I bet the girls were confused when their best friend suddenly moved out to be with a person neither of them ever heard of.
I played my sims and mysims party on DS and I loved them, I was convinced I was the only ones who played them and I was so excited to see them referenced in sims 4
no one talks about this but if you make travis and one of the roommates have romantic interactions, the other roommate gets a sad moodlet that i’ve never seen in the game before
I was obsessed with the mysims series when i was little. It was so cool to see the BFFs household in the Sims 4. I think they did an okay job but rip Chaz. He was and still is an icon. He really rounded out the group
Omg I loved Mysims kingdom, i played the storyline so many times growing up (mostly because our wii would break and I had to keep starting over) but it was so fun! I can believe i didn’t catch the lore there 🤯
People always say Travis is boring and bland, but here I am always having my own sim marry him everytime I do some sort of challege that requires me to get a husband, or am even just playing a new save file for fun. Liberty? Summer? No. Travis chooses me in the end!!! lol
5:36 “I was obsessed with snakes, just the human kind” caught me off guard, Jesse your quick wit is genuinely so hilarious. I snorted lmao Ps if u see this pls go look at fundiefridays I feel like u would vibe with Jen so well
the fact that Travis is the only one with a single bed just makes this so much funnier, like. plot twist: the centre of the love triangle is aroace -and the girls end up with each other instead-
Yessss!!! That's exactly how I play them ^-^ I also plan on sticking them in San Myshuno, since the three sharing an apartment will be more of a challenge.
As someone who mostly played the my sims series over the actual sims, I felt like such a fool for not recognizing them. Maybe because I was too busy being caught up on the goth girl in every game. Also feel bad forgetting her name
I remade the BFF household in CAS a while ago, it was a lot of fun. But ill be honest I want to go into my remake and adjust it based on this lore now. I missed your entire history of videos, im so glad to see a new one 🎉
Growing up I wasnt allowed to play the mainline sims series but was allowed to play MySims since my parents thought it was PG enough. I sunk so much time into MySims, MySims Kingdom and MySims Racing. These games will always have such a soft spot for me. I hope one day EA will revive the franchise but I doubt it 😭💔. Also shout out to Violet and Goth Boy just for being there lol. Love those 2🖤🕸🦇
The MySims games were my childhood, I love the BFF household and recognized them immediately haha. You should totally try playing MySims Kingdom, it was one of my favorite games in the series. Candy and Yuki from Get Together were also an attempt at bringing MySims lore into Sims 4 but they changed them a bit more from their original designs, especially Yuki.
This is actually helpful cuz I'm working on a save file where I renovated the lots and madeover townies. Im going thru each household to make sure they all have jobs and skills before I start playing the file. Now I have more understanding of the complete backstory storyline to set up this hosuehold
saaaaame! I'm sure I'm projecting on her with it a little bit, but she gives "trying really hard to look straight" it's fun to see everyone's interpretations of the Sims 4 sims' personalities.
My first Sim actually married Summer but eventually I got bored of her so I made them go through a breakup arc. Fun times. I had no idea she was a character with backstory!
Summer, Travis, Liberty, Yuki, Candy Supergroove, I think Madam Zoe also is in Sims 4 were all originally MySims~ Now that you've done the BFF household you gotta do the rest of the MySims characters ;D
I always get Liberty and Travis together because they have more similar interests. But their is a Event Sim named Jasmine who has the surname Holiday, so I just marry Summer and Jasmine together since they have the same last name anyways, and Summer still has a crush on both Liberty and Travis in my Sims Worlds. Plus Summer and Jasmine just make sense as a couple to me and they have the SAME aspiration (Friend of the World.)
The war flashbacks to my childhood with the My Sims games omg.... I was like 7 years old on the wii trying to learn the building mechanic. It took me MULTIPLE DAYS to figure out how to build the damn chair in the tutorial LMAO
I looooooved My Sims games, but I NEVER thought this household was in My Sims. Now that you showed the footage, I remember it ! I'm disapointed in myself for never catching that reference lol.
I feel like Sims 4 in general is a lot of story in text and not so much story in gameplay. Like the werewolf pack “imagine your sim is in a room with frogs”, and not transporting your sim to a hidden place with frogs. Also all of the other pop ups, that maybe give your sim a moodlet but no actual change in gameplay beside maybe the get famous ones where you could gain fame or get fired. And this is another perfect example of “you have to read it or nothing has happened”. I’m here for a game, not a book.
I think the worst example of this is in HSY, you're literally watching your sim just sitting in the classroom and then a pop up tells you something else entirely is happening!
I love your entire history of! I play with all the premades rotationally. Rare to find someone, who cares about the premades, but I loved Sims 2 and loved to play out their stories!
MC Command Center married Summer with Penny Pizzaz and i've never looked back. They will always be fitness influencers who vlog their whole lives to me lol
I've been watching the coollike sims streams on twitch, and since her character Hot Frog has been interacting with liberty quite a bit it was fun to get the lore for that household!
i was today years old when i found some lore in the sims 4 ! the premade sims used for promo in 2014 & 2018/2019 all have bios on Maxis & actually intrigued me so now i've started a save file with all 40 of these sims giving them the lore, skills & relationships in the descriptions & i'm honestly loving it !
I had Travis going out with both of them to see which was the better couple, and it turned out it was with Liberty (for me) and then I read about all the MySims stuff and decided to include Chazz into their household and now he and Summer are also dating, so everything turned out great!
I started with Sims2 which is still my favorite game, but I have very fond memories of renting My Sims from blockbuster (rip) and absolutely falling in love with the game. I could never find it again after returning it though, because I didn't know it was called "MY" sims. I kept looking up "Sims on Wii" or "The sims Wii" lol. Such a fun game, and I love the little details from it that they added in the sims 4. Thanks for such a great video, Jesse!
I've hated this household ever since Liberty ended up being my legacy founder's best friend, only to cheat with her husband the day after they moved into Evergreen Harbour with their twin girls. Although I did let my founder marry Joaquin Le Chien so maybe that one was on me.
I adore Liberty Lee, partly cause the first sims 4 save I ever made I went in blind, and my single nerdy bachelor sim, became friends with Liberty and they fell in love and that's one of my favorite more natural sims interactions
Speaking of Travis last time I played I had my beautiful goddess of a sim have a baby with him and it turned out to be the most hideous spawn I’ve ever seen in game
travis scott was my baby daddy for the first generation of my legacy challenge and i didn't consider but the kids did have the cheese hair. i had to change it.
