I think it was his influence that kept silly, rude and dark humor in sims 1 & 2. After he left there was a big shift away from those types of humor and it became more family friendly/ dumbed down. It was a noticeable difference in sims 3 but has become a massive problem with sims 4. Without Will Write the sims are boring and all the personality has gone away.

@@tjg813 For sure. While playing The Sims 3 in the past couple of days, it just got me thinking how much I missed the little things like Sims getting pissed off over dumb things. The Sims 3 definitely has some of it, though. My elder Sim sits there and grumbles and mutters under her breath for no apparent reason and it has me hysterical. There is none of that in The Sims 4. It's completely watered down. The Sims 4 is better in some aspects, but not the silly things from 1 and 2.

I'm pretty sure EA would find a way to ruin it. Will tried to make Spore an amazing game, but then EA's meddling, rushing it and the awful DRM it came bundled with ruined it.

In 2000, me being 20 years old at the time, told my husband to pick up some type of dollhouse Barbie type game. I just got my first PC and wanted a game I can basically play dress up and furnish the home. My husband called me from a PC store and said "I found a better game, called The Sims". I was like wtf is The Sims? I don't want that. Well, he brought it home anyway. I was so mad at him. I still installed it and 20 years later here I am @40 years old. I'm loyal to a fault. Sometimes my friends and family still wonder how I can sit and create worlds, custom content, etc all this time later. As of today my practice of building homes for the fun and fantasy of it, has allowed me to make my own floor plan to my home in real life. Without The Sims, this would not be possible probably not even an interest of mine.

The greatest irony is, when Will first pitched the idea of The Sims, Maxis was not up for it at all. Instead, it was EA who was more receptive to his ideas and gave him the green light to proceed with the project. And yet, it was Maxis who did the game so much more justice instead of EA.

I wish Will Wright was still making sims games, but I can see why he'd feel his work was done after SC4 and TS2. They're masterpieces.

The Lloyd Wright dollhouse seems to be a double reference (also genius on his part) since Frank Lloyd Wright was a famous architect in the 20th Century.

it’s sad for the series that he left but i’m glad that the man who brought me so much happiness through my favorite game series is doing something he’s passionate about instead of staying at ea out of obligation

That’s why you can definitely tell if the game was made from passion or solely for money. The first sims games came out of Will’s passion in architecture and technology. Now, the company are just milking money from Will’s original idea and naming it “The Sims 4”.

When my cousin's ex-spouse was getting a degree in city planning, running a Sim City was one of the mandatory projects, so that the students could see and use what they were being taught.

"And when the sims world needed him most, he vanished..."

Funny how everything went downhill wen Will left.

It's not completely wrong that the Sims is a doll house simulator. But that's only 1/3 of it. The other 1/3 of the Sims is an architecture and interior design simulator and the other 1/3 is a murder simulator.

This was so informative, thank you! I played the game called "SimPark" as a kid and didn't know it was made by Maxis :o it was absolutely my favourite game! ^^ Also the pinball?! Omg!!

Will being my birthday twin makes me BEYOND happy

This is the reason why I insist The Sims was developed as an architectural simulator with Sims being placed inside to test the build. It has of course morphed into a game that incorporates life game and clothing.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one playing Bitlife all the time 😂😂

Sim Safari, Sim Town, Sim Park, SIm Tower.... Maxis made an entire genre of "sim" games for kids, and those were some of them.

This man created matrix 🔥😎

Well that explains why I also love that pinball game.

I think the robot lady is a reference to the person who made the Kings Quest series. Roberta Williams.

11:50 the first frame reminds me of that stupid barnacle boy meme. All that's missing is the red laser.

Sim Life will always be my favorite game. Sad more games like it don't exist.

It’s sad that the new simmers never heard of the creator of sims.

That would explain why Stella has low romantic interest in him and why she’s described as Distracted. I know this doesn’t make sense since they have Kids but, well, I DUNNO, maybe they are Morty’s real children but their Mother ran away, then he Disguised Bella as Stella and told them their Mother came back? Then you Tell me: “That would be impossible, The Real Bella died at Lunar Lakes” But what if that wasn’t the Real Bella? I mean, there is already one Clone of Bella at StrangeTown, what if the Lunar Lakes Bella is also a Clone? THAT COULD MEAN THE REAL BELLA IS STELLA!
