The sims has such a deep and complicated lore so i hope it follows that rather than random sim protagonist leaves simulation discovers antonym and how not to burn cereal.

i expect a 3 hour montage of a house meticulously building itself, while margot robbie wanders around talking simlish, lighting the stove on fire, and peeing herself despite a bathroom being RIGHT FRICKING THERE.

The Sims actually has a lot of lore connected to its pre-existing characters (ranging from marital affairs to alien abductions to elaborate family feuds and murder plots and way way more). So the question isn't about whether or not the story is there, as I've seen many commenters bring up, because it is and could fill up several really good movies if they actually tried (I recommend checking out Plumbella's iceberg video if you're remotely interested in the details), the question is about whether or not EA cares enough to do that for the game's fans rather than turning it into Barbie 2 and just trying to make even more money by marketing to people who don't play and don't know about current fandom events. Especially since EA have been treating their players like crap (always, but especially recently). Sadly, I know they're 100% going for a more commercial route. Recently the current fanbase has been mad at EA, so they're drawing in new players who know nothing about how terrible they are with things like updates on Project Rene/the next Sims game, sales on packs, free packs, and now riding on Barbie's success with this movie. They aren't going to make a unique movie (even i it ends up being good on a public scale), because that would be too kind to their current fanbase, and they haven't exactly been doing that recently. Do I hope it's good, and they can do something different to Barbie? Yes. As said in the video, they tried this as a concept ages before Barbie's success so I hope they at least have some ideas. It's also got people involved who have been involved in things I love, so I really hope it's competent at the very least. I also think that, while Barbie covered some existential themes, it runs a bit deeper in The Sims and Barbie's main focus was feminism where I'm really hoping The Sims could do something more focused on mental health and existentialism in an "I'm not in control of my own life and I technically don't even exist" kind of way rather than in a "I exist, but everyone actually hates me" kind of way. As a fanbase, we're constantly being brought to shame by EA and the least they can do is give us a good movie - even if none of the lore we've grown to love is involved. But just remember, it's all just a marketing stunt. Because EA don't care about us. I know I won't be paying money for this unless it's really something special.

@@lexa2310 Yeah, it really sucks. I was only really playing Sims when TS4 came out but after watching so many lore videos I'm so angry that they put it on a different timeline.

In no universe I can imagine this being a good movie. They can't even make Sims 4 work properly.

Theres a lot they could do about a Sims movie. Like the landgraab family is a whole movie in itself probably. Their main townies all have a storyline of sorts. All games did. And some townies even evolve similarly as the games do. Such as and Agnes Crumbebottum (and her... sister? that I forget the name of) have been getting older in each new evolution of the game. The goth family too. It just depends on how much research this team is going to do. Or if they're going to play on the simulation part of the game instead of making a movie about preexisting storylines that the Sims have set up. Like cmon, its right there!

Personally, I hope it's a horror/thriller comedy. I want a story about a detective who is hired to find Bella Goth and is led to Strange Town, where they discover the citizens are mysteriously dying off. As they get closer to the truth, they realize the person responsible is targeting them, trying to kill off the detective before their secret can be unveiled. In the end, the detective learns the perpetrator is Nervous Subject, who found a way to control other sims using long-lost devices in the home where he is kept hostage. But it's not just a story of revenge and helplessness; Nervous Subject is killing off other Sims so that he can meet his father, the Grim Reaper. Or something.

This is why i truly grieve The Witcher not being a movie. Netflix absolutely curdled the story into an insufferable parody, writers actively mocking game/book fans. If we had a movie, with Cavill, we could have fleshed things deeper & more accurately with the budget Geralt deserves :(

Out of all the video games I thought would receive a movie adaptation, I never thought it would be Sims.

Dazzreviews, I have a crush on both Bloom and Spider-Gwen since childhood and college

imagine in the final scene they trap the sim in a room with a fireplace plants and carpets with no doors

I would hope the furniture and set pieces they use are able to be found in teh expansions, that someone's squished by a Murphy bed, that Grim just sort of hangs out. I think for it to work they may need to do what Lego Movie did: not take itself too seriously but also not dumb it down either. It was fun, and I think it could work, but it'll need recognizable BB and characters that we're used to seeing.

wait, if we are getting a sims movie... THERE'S HOPE FOR THAT OLD SPORE MOVIE (also if you really want a sims movie, just watch any of the old barbie movies, the artstyle is near identical)

Maybe it’s gonna be a movie about the abandoned lore with Bella Goth?… or maybe they just want Robbie to drown someone in a pool?

Margot drowns Sim in pool: 4K HD, colourised

If they made it into a horror film where the player just starts either messing with the sims or killing them off. Though judging how Barbie went, the sims might escape the game and interact with the player or force the player into the game. At least it might have some creativity. Doubt it though with the current storylines of films lately.

This is literally just Barbie 2.

In-universe characters enter the real world is also being done this year with the Harold and Purple Crayon movie. It’s not an original premise and Sims doesn’t have the cultural impact like Barbie has to pull off that I can see a commentary on its cultural legacy. There’s no named characters at all, which Lego movie explored but supplemented with licensed characters like Batman.

The first sims game (called "the sims" or now known as "sims 1") came out in 2000

This has the chance to be an absurdist masterpiece, there's nothing that screams "peak cinema" more than a Sim befriending a toilet or hooking up with the Grim Reaper.

Sims 2 was my favorite and that’s legit only because the camera change, they had the original point and click then they added the over the shoulder full control way and I absolutely miss that control scheme. Played sims 3 for legit 30 seconds after realizing that control was gone havnt returned, wanna play 4 but highly doubt the control scheme was changed so I don’t even waste the time. Sad really

Vinesauce Joel's Memehouse is the real Sims movie

Do y’all remember when they’d just go from infants to children?

I heard that much material is being taken from sims 4 and not older sims games and that’s worrying many people. It would be nice to have sims know there’s a ‘watcher’, but not ‘fight the system to get free will’. That’s been done so many times and doesn’t make sense for the sims. They should just have their own in-worlds plot with full autonomy on, with the screw ups and whackiness that comes with it. But my hope is that our dear leader Jim Pickens will be a small part of it. ❤

They better have a gag where there's a sim just trapped in a burning room- Dark, but classic

I love the ideas but I really doubt they’re gonna use any of the sims actual stories.. so many companies get the chance to do this shift and fumbles it horribly and makes it a cashgrab, so i don’t doubt this is gonna be the same thing…

There’s actually Quite a bit of lore in the sims that would separate it from Barbie. It doesn’t sound like they’re going that way though…

Bros mouth on the thumbnail looks like chompzilla💀

I am an avid Sims 4 player, and there is actually TONS of lore stretching across the game series, like the case of the disappearance of Bella Goth. Is the "breaking boundaries" plot confirmed? Cause they just might make something better with the lore seeds Maxis has planted over the many years of the franchise's existence.

I'm so glad you mentioned that one cancelled Fox live-action Sims movie, I have thought of it ever since the movie was announced. I used to think that the plot would be some guys discovering a copy of the Sims game that allow them to control real life and develop god complex, which they're paying dearly for the consequences. Speaking of Sims movies, I had a dream that the Sims had a animated CGI trilogy back in the 2000's, something comparable to the Barbie movies, cheap direct-to-dvd level of animation but the writing has its charm. But the 3rd one is apparently the worst one in the series. Apparently, it's plot is a loose adaptation of Around the World in 80 days starring a man and a woman. And one of the characters in there may or may not be related to a random Sim from the Sims 2 (He is called Mr. Upsnott according to the cast).

If Sims won't have simlish dub, then it's a wasted potential

I hope they cover the weird explanation of the families in the game. Or the story you read when starting a new file. Also sims 3 is flucking the best those expansions were peak. Though i miss sims 2 vaction, sims 3 world adventure was close but it was missing something.

Profit Goblin yepp you perfectly summed up sims gameplay ❤❤

Hello, DazzReviews! Margot Robbie here. I was just taking a break After Posting a cover of an 80’s classic on my KZread Channel when I stumbled upon your video discussing the upcoming Sims movie I’m involved in. It’s always exciting to see the buzz around new projects. Keep up the great work!

They should just make a random ass show. Just simish pure randomness you meet a new sim home with new antics every episode

Honestly, the only storyline I can think of other than "Barbie 2" or one that follows the Sims lore is maybe a player who is very connected to their Sims world befriends one of their Sims that somehow becomes self-aware. They shape the world to help things go their way but things keep doing terribly wrong. We know how unpredictable the Sims is.

I pray they keep it live action and slowly become self-aware of the giant gems above their heads.

Just got the notification while playing sims freeplay 😂 I’m scarred to see how this is gonna go down

The sims have deep lore in the games they could do something super cool cause its very horror esc lore and the dramatics you can do with houses is so full of freedom so it could be exciting and very original if they do it right and make it for the fans and not some meta thing it could be super cool if the whole thing is in simish and tells the story though just visuals and pure sim panic it would be creepy and ultimately what fans want

wow sims changed a lot i used to play this a ton in 2017

In regards of sims "5" theyve already confirmed its coming but our lifetime....who knows😭

Why?!?

What? That is very weird cause. I never played the game before

why thou

I find this intriguing cause it could go anywhere. Hell, it could be a true crime mockumentary and Margot is playing Bella Goth

Let’s not forget that there is/was a SimCity movie in the works that is/was set to be a Roland Emmerich-styled disaster movie.

HUH?? WHAT??

So… what audience is this targeting?

Whens the Goat Simulator movie?

They will make a movie of literally anything

If they made a movie about classic Sims lore it would be so much better… Bella Goth mystery perhaps?

Rather then make a sims movie ea should make a spore 2

WHYYYYYYYYY

All Im going to say is that If they show the Sims doing stuff that you cant actually do in the game, then Im gonna be very salty.

I'm sorry, but I just feel that this sims movie is not going to be good. I feel like the sims is something that should stay a game.

You know what I want? I want a more religious vibe to the whole thing in contrary to Barbie's feminist messaging. I want a story about "free will" and how much you can have when there's an apparent "all knowing, all powerful" being controlling and predicting your every move and the paranoia, social consequences and other things that come from that.

i wonder who's gonna play vlad, if he's in the movie at all

from dollhouses to digital ones when barbie came out I seen A method to the madness but how in the world are they going to do this with the sims I mean it is such A life simulator that you have to tell A sim to go to the bathroom and take out the trash and how I know this well I played sims 1 and 4 and I can say with the utmost certainty that they are dumber than bricks and at times A frustrating ordeal also that when you remove the ladder they are not smart enough to just crawl out of the pool coding or not

Imagine if the sims movie was about the Bella Goth situation (if you know you know)

I think it will fail, but not because of Margo Robbie or her company. Last time EA tried to make a movie out of a game of theirs, we got Need For Speed, a Gone in 60 Seconds/Fast and Furious clone that bombed. I remember EA asking Need For Speed fans what car they'd want to see on the big screen, and the most requested car was the iconic E46 BMW M3 GTR fom Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005. Instead, what we got was yet another stupid Mustang as the hero car. I'm still bitter, because why ask fans what they want to see, only to ignore them and give them slop. I won't be surprised if EA intentionally doesn't allow a pool drowning scene just to piss off fans of The Sims and Sim City.

And The FNAF movie

Im ngl, this movie could be great about nihilism. And just accepting that your choices may not be your own and everything may have a set path where free will has no place but thats okay because they still feel as though they are your own. Are they gonna do that? Lol no. But I hope they touch on the lore of the sims because there is alot of

I hope they speak simlish, but with captions the whole time.

There is lore within the Sims world, so I hope they focus on it at least a little 🙏

If it ain't in Gobblediguke Simlish, I ain't watching

I'm so confused about this. Other film adaptations of games make some sense because those are games with stories. But the Sims doesn't have a story. Isn't the entire point of the Sims that *you* create the characters and *you* come up with your own stories? Why make it Sims at all? If the whole premise of the Sims is that it allows you play out your own original stories, maybe just write your own original story?
