The Sims 1, 0$ Start Challenge 

Finally, build 42

Your bills were probably inflated by the value of the decorations you stuck in the corner. Bills are based on total value of the lot.

An oven with no fire alarm is the one noob move we've all done in that game.

You're a politician, pissing your pants is actually a job requirement.

He went from a politician, to watching children, to a psychic, Im pretty sure theres a joke here somewhere 😂

for future reference you can bring your money to zero by buying trees without increasing your bills like the statues do! LOVE the sims 1 content its still a bit hard to come by!

The car continuously honking at you is not a bug, if you don't get into your ride to work (this also applies to the school bus) it will sit there and honk until your work hours for the day have finished. Also, if you had multiple rides appearing at the same time (like a car + school bus) the first ride that arrived has to leave before any of the others are able to, so your sim's kids could miss school if the parent didn't go to work that day, and you'd hear all of the horns the entire time lol. Random good/bad phone calls are a HUGE part of nostalgia for the game, it brought a tiny bit of horror that shrank with each new iteration until it no longer exists in TS4. My favourite job of all time was the military career; when you get to level 10 your ride is a literal helicopter. Great hours, great money, easy to maintain. Btw, the microwave is way safer than the stove.

And that's why you buy a fire alarm, so the fireman would save you. :D

Those fridges with only snacks are intended as storage for food you grow in the garden If they are empty you only can get snacks. Their advantage is that the meals are free if you fill it up

16:08 Well, that's not a fridge, that's a pantry. At least in my language, the game made a big distinction between the two.

The "fridges" you keep buying that only had snacks are actually pantries, and they are for storing produce you can grow yourself or buy in Old Town (we're you can also buy pets)

Buying a bookshelf to study at least 1, preferably 2 levels of cooking is a must to avoid game endings fires

I can’t believe you just filmed my daily life and had the nerve to upload this! Expect a cease and desist soon!

04:20 They were honking at the cat.

That charlie the unicorn reference just took me back to the good ol days lol

I think the reason your bills are so high is because of the statues on your lawn.

Sims in the sims 1 can be easy to make friends with. A glitch from when they introduced interests is that all the OG sims didn't have any interest points. You just need to load all the sims households once so that they're given interests, that way when you chat with them they won't always be grouchy.

The Sims was the first game that made me realize generational disconnect. My parents scolding me for my Sims using the bathroom. I had to sneak them in there if I was playing on the family computer and click away. I guess there's something to protect against perverse pixilated pooping I wasn't aware of. Who's head was in the gutter?

The Sims, Baldur's Gate, Red Baron, Super Mario Gran Turismo... It was nice to be a teenage gamer at the end of the 90's!

When he said "start to cook" i remembered my first sim ever died the same way - spend those 15$ on Firealarm was the most important thing i did on every sim in the future then.

I was sold on subscribing when you made a Charlie the Unicorn reference. Right on.

Typing rosebud a hundred times... alright no need to call us out like that, we had to play with cheats back when we were younger because mods were too hard to install and the DLC hadn't come out yet =D. From memory the sims 1 and 2 are very similar in most ways, I think it was just a small graphical update with a few bug fixes etc, not the huge leap like sims 3 was, so it's not surprising you took to it so easily (and getting caught on fire is a right of passage). Also please do a second vid!

Ah yes, now the proper sims are coming! Yeah, sorry no matter what one does in Sims 4 it will always be a shallow experience. I did enjoy that first video as the script was really really good. That was enough Sims 4 for me though. 1, 2 and 3 I have a lot more time for. :)

I wasn’t expecting a Charlie the unicorn 2 reference in this video, but I’m so glad it happened

99% sure the snack fridges are cupboards my dude LOL

damn, fast turnaround for a video! i was definitely expecting to wait a while

0:20 - The $73k for all sims 3 DLC is wrong. You got this from the Steam community post and this has been debunked (confirmed with your exact same number). Not a simp for sims or EA but I do hate incorrect info. Total cost for all sims 3 content is $1,925.19 - $2,595.19 - Still a lot but defo not 73k. Amazed you were not skeptical of this insanely large number.

Yeah, smoke detector right above the stove/oven is the way to do it. Also, there are thieves, so it may be advised to place a bit of wall at the end of the sidewalk and put burglar alarms over there too to get triggered as soon as they appear.

sims 1 had some fun game breaking bugs

You get bills based on your home, utility use and furnishings. Those expensive statues you got to get rid of all your money did it. Also that wasn’t a fridge, it was a pantry. You can stock it with produce that you grow using the garden plot from sims unleashed.

When are you and AA finally gonna tie the knot to become the one and only zomboid/rimworld celebrity power couple??

Making me want to re-install my big box copy! Liking the sims stuff!

My dad showed me Charlie the unicorn about 2-3 years ago. Thanks to him I understood the “big fat eyes and big fat frown”

I like this. Can't wait for the next episodes.

I was 5yo when the sims 1 came out and it has been the main franchise I have played ever since.

Really enjoyed this video, takes me back. Youll have to do another one for sure!

i'd start by finding an agent and going to a showbusiness lot where you can sing and get a few bucks. i'd perform until sim is not in the mood. then i'd go to a lot where they serve free food for all celebs. first thing i buy is food and shower

It's so cool how many people ambiguousamphibian influences

Playground monitor is an insane job title.

Im only 25 but grew up playing this with my sister since my dad picked most games growing up before 10

I would love to see u try this challange again some time. It was realy fun seeing u progressing slowly. a shame u burned it all

Sucks about losing your save to that crash. That's the one downside to older games, autosaves generally weren't as much of a thing back then. All in all, though, I'd say this challenge lasted just about as long as it had interesting content, so I think it ended pretty much perfectly. Can't really complain about going out in a blaze of glory! Excited to see some Sims 2 runs. A far more forgiving game, largely untouched by the downward trajectory of the rest of the series.

11:38 A Simsplatypus? PERRY the Simsplatypus!!!

Predz and Frogman in BF2 could be movie worthy, the both of you making a video together let alone a serious would be amazing imo

Thankfully sims pays you per day instead of once every month.

This a cool series idea...doing different challenges across The Sims 1,2,3,4. I only got to play one version so this is neat!

Its nice to see someone do the challenge without genie

This makes me wanna try this. But only with the Deluxe Edition as that’s the version that I own

Sims 2 on the family computer 😥 damn nostalgia be hitting

bruh doesnt know what a window is, that triggered me so hard

Not the Boogie reference 😂😭

the bill you got was from the valuable you bought also didn't you think of buying a bookcase to inscrese the cooking before you actually cook.

I remember playing this game on the first Xbox, man what a blast it was

6:44 thats a pantry (the wood and the legs)

came for sims, subbed for boogie joke; edit: and i commented too early i didn’t even have a chance for the banana ear…. i will be revisiting this channel often

Soo the pizza man did show up... he just stands near the exit to the lots as there are no door ti ring. Sims 1 is not for babies after all. 😂

You should do a series where the zombie count is max but the zombie respawn is turned off also add some mods so there’s more zombies and then try and kill every zombie on the map without dying

A tip: before you ever let a sim touch a stove, have them learn at least one point in the cooking skill via a bookcase. I played this game so much as a kid and I noticed that sims with at least one point in cooking started drastically fewer fires than sims with no skill in cooking. that plus a fire alarm make it much, much less likely that you'll die via fire. This trick is something that became a habit and now even in newer sims games I still have my sim learn one point in cooking before making food even if it's less relevant to fire lol

I love ambiguous an your vids. You remind of him slightly I love the content keep up the good work.

I loved th e sims 1 when it came out. I speny\t countless sleepless summer nights on it in high school but….sims 2 was the best. Especially the creator content websites.

You needed an oven to make food, otherwise you can only get snacks from the fridge. You should always get at least a couple of points in cooking before using it though else... fire.

Sometimes watching you young’uns play old games like this is kinda painful. 😂 The only way I can comfort myself is knowing that you’ve downloaded a digital version so you don’t have the chunky manuals that we used to get with these old CDs (and read cover to cover to find out everything about the game)!

Could you do a video where you make a sim create all the spells from the magic expension pack 😍

Sims be lookin affordabe wtf

I'm about to date myself so hard, but I was in 5th or 6th grade when my brother installed it on the family computer. Made the mistake of introducing me to it, and played it for so long I missed the bus to school....because I was too busy having a better family virtually (really fucked up childhood, nuff said)

Charlie the Unicorn lol

OOH OOH PAY, LILALAGALAAAAAAAAA

Maybe I should think about quitting my job and getting into the gargoyle business...

Im pretty sure that the Sims 4 dlc is well over 2500$ now.

That boogie2988 reference is so relevant now

Damn, after the latest livestream, I think the Boogie2988 jab is more accurate than ever before, you predicted the future lol

your video made me want to play this. and my disc doesnt work...how do you get this game after 20 something years? its not on steam or GOG

Shit man. Bought this when it came out. Had to buy a new CRT to play it at the time because my old one couldn't handle 800x600. Yeah it was a while ago.

But when will we get the Sims Medieval?

RIP Somedude

this sounds like irl

How are you still able to play this game? I cannot seem to start it on modern hardware.

Based Office Space reference.

this video seem an awful lot like a ambiguousamphibian video

has he tried going to candy mountain?

Great video but what in tarnation is a newspaper? 💀

Was that a Your Favourite Martian Joke?

You got 377$ because you owned expensive statue

The best game ever.

Your avatar always reminds me of salad fingers.

wait how did you get the cursor to work?

more like 0$ fart challenge

There isn't a cheat... But there is a cc item. If I remember it correctly, there was an item, a toilet, that you could buy and 'flush your simoleons' It's ether from 'Simlogical' or 'Secret Society of Woobsha' (But I think it was simlogical) Simlogical will help with the pets, as they have signs that can stop stray pets visiting you. They also have signs to stop the buskers in old town. That's not a fridge, it's a pantry. It only holds crops, which is why you could only 'have a snack' As others say, it's the decor that's making your bills high. Even the trees may increase your lot's value. This is because you have all the packs. Likely 'the Sims collection' which EA put out as a single large (for Sims 1 lol) downloadable version. The fact you have strays means you have 'the Sims unleashed' which added pets, gardening and a whole other district called 'old town'. If you called the tram, to take a trip into the map, you could have visited the farmers market lot and bought seeds. (Tram is free by the way) With seeds, you could plant crops, live off snacks till they are grown, then harvest them to fill that 'pantry' and make food. Yeah, you should have bought the microwave or toaster oven to cook with, if you couldn't afford the fire alarm.

Man we can’t be the same age but you’ve got a kid, don’t do that to me lol

where I can download sims 1? :O

Part 2!!!

amphibian is that you

jus so everyone knows i bought kenshi an it went on sale 3 days later
