Forgotten Families would be such a fun theme for a Sims 2 custom hood.

there's actually a fan made neighborhood for the sims 2 that features them! the neigborhood is called old town, and it also has all of the sims families from the game as well. i play the neighborhood as one of my TS2 saves and it's so fun :')

Love the mashuga’s, I remade them in the sims 4
I actually love Claire and Luna Charming. They lived up to their name; a charming little family to play. It was a woman who enjoyed live music and was a nurse living with her dog.

I agree with you, and I love Claire’s house! ❤
Absolutely thrilled to see Sims 1 content in 2024! Such an underrated game in the franchise currently that deserves way more attention.
You say the Roomies never returned, but they sort of did! In the Sims 3 Twinbrook neighborhood, there’s a household called Roomates and it’s an implied lesbian couple. A strawberry blonde white woman named Blaise and a dark skin woman named Alma. Their description says they’re long time best friends but it also includes something like, “will living together lead to things they never expected?”. Not exactly the same but I definitely think they’re based on the Sims 1 roomies.

“and they were roommates”.
Actually I remember on my sims games, I always loved having the Mashuga family with the Goth family in the same neighborhood, I recreated their house only because I didn't wanted to remove the Newbies, the reason I wanted them with the Goth family is because it was so funny and random to have these two families interact with each other, Either Frankie and Mortimer would be mortal enemies and would be hillarious, or they would be best friends and would still be hilarious. You get an insane chaos either these two guys are friends or hate each other lol.
Did you know meshuga means crazy in Hebrew and Yiddish? I wonder if that was on purpose.

Yes! And knowing Maxis at the time I'm sure this must be on purpose!
I absolutely subscribe to the idea of Ruby Ann Hatfield and Ruby Broke being the same characters. I feel like it works really well without having to be forced. Obviously there's some discrepancies in the personality and appearance, but Maxis wasn't too consistent with this anyhow. I loved the video, and it's so awesome to have someone acknowledge these downloadable families so many years later!
THE MAXIMUS FAMILY! NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THEM 😢❤
I once made a TS2 neighborhood based on TS1 sims (including some forgotten ones and minus the Goths) and my personal headcanon was to make Chris Roomies Bob Newbie's younger sister (based on a console game's default name being Chris Newbie), Melissa being the adopted daughter of a Ruth and Mia, Claire Charming being the middle child with 2 brothers and a single mom, and Ruby Ann Hatfield being Elden Hick's older sister (both with unknown yet separate fathers)

I could see all of these things being actual lore!
I am still palying with sims1,2,3,4, medieval and all 3 stories...whatever I have the mood for but never heard about these downloadable families...immediately subscribed.
You mentioned Ruby Ann Hatfield having a connection with Ruby Broke from Riverview, but there's another family in that same neighborhood, the Jones family, which may be the ancestors of the TS1 Jones family...
@k-rce

Absolutely! I chose not to include them because there's very few obvious similarities and the name Jones is quite common in general (and there are also Jones families in Garden Heights, Bridgeport, Twinbrook and Roaring Heights!).

I feel like it could still work though. I know the boy in Roaring Heights shares the same name of Edward, but the hair colors don't match. It's still cool to imagine them to be connected. @@k-rce 🙂
Love this! I started playing early sims 1 in the early 2000s but I was literally a child and we had dial up internet so I didn’t know about the downloadable families! Remember having to set a timer so my dad could use the phone for work haha these videos are great!
3:34 I love the Hick family!
The only thing I can say is... The Sims 4 could never 💅
The roomies household is the most fun to play with. I like the good job you do when researching.
oh watching your video- I just had a memory of how when a Sim couldn’t cook or was poor- they would serve cans of food on a plate
Aww i used to play as Claire a lot loved the relationship she had with her little dog :D The Mashugas were cool, and so many other good families 💖 When i loaded the world with the Mashugas there was a disco house and a young couple both had bright coloured hair and loved parties, can't remember the name though, but i used to play them a lot
Oh wow, I never downloaded the extra Maxis families, as back then, my sister and I could not use the internet (dial-up was expensive then). Honestly, I did not know they existed, until now...thank you so much❣ Instant sub❣
I like your TS1 content not alot of channels feature this kind of content! I cant wait for your retrospective review for the remaining TS1 packs! I hope you could create mini series/lps on this game!!
Just discovered your channel, and this is exactly my kind of video! My favorite games of all time are TS1 and TS2, and I don’t think there’s enough videos out there that really get deep into the Sims 1, especially lore wise, and just about the game in general. This just taps into my weirdly specific interests in the perfect way so I instantly subscribed lol. 🎉

The Agents bought back memories I forgot existed!!!! My mum must’ve had it downloaded into her game bc I remember being OBSESSED with their house
I love it, I thought I was the only one who played with them lol 🤭 As a suggestion, there are also some families that were created in the Beta and many fans know them, they are the Wallace, Roomies, Ryan, etc, you may want to talk about them in the future ❤
Those downloadable families sound so much fun
Hey, nice channel. It's so rare to find an (almost) exclusive TS1 focused channel in the internet wilderness 😅. Never played any of the downloadable fams but now I am thinking about trying them out. The Maximus and the Hatfields sound fun! The Sims 1 cast was pretty wild, it's a shame that only some of them made it to the sequels. The Mashugas, the Roomies and the Hicks are definitely my faves. It's almost mandatory for me to marry off Elden Hick to Claire Charming in each nbhood, lol. I think it's implied that they are suppose to get with one another, since Claire and Luna are homages to Debussy's 'Clair de Lune' and Elden's cannonically is a classical music fan but maybe I am overthinking. And I loove the theory about Sylvia scaming poor Mama, my second template is pretty untouched so perhaps I would make Sylvia enemies with Elden and Mama in my playthrough. Also, I've always thought that the Roomies girls had canonical last names such as "Chris Jones" and "Melissa Smith", I swore I've seen this info somewhere a long time ago, can't remember where though... Anyways, looking forward for your Superstar Expansion Pack review, since I personally think it is one of the best packs in the entire franchise!
you mentioning the maximus as your favorite family is SO RIGHT. ahahah

I have fond memories on the Hatfield family: my torture play with them A.K.A. let free will be 99% in charge of their decision and its hilarious! Not to mention adding Tragic Clown and indoor firecrackers in the mix 🤣🤣
the algorithm got me to your channel and i gotta tell you i'm loving your sims 1 content! there's very little content about the first sims game nowadays, so please keep them coming

Love these nostalgia-driven videos of yours!
I am so glad to have found your channel ! I love revisiting The Sims 1 lore, it's the only one that really fascinates me enough for me to want to watch a video about
I like listening to the sims while someone talks about it passionately and informatively :D. I hope you can keep these videos coming, they are a treat.

I love this kind of content so much. Thank you for doing this!
Love the video. I played TS1 when there was no internet around where I lived, so I didn't get to play the downloadable families. Your review helps me feel like I had played with them.
I had NO IDEA of these downloadable families!!! Thanks for sharing ❤
Oh my god I'm obsessed with this! I have so many favourite households from the Sims 3 that I'm forever hoping will come back to the franchise in the Sims 4, but I had no idea there were so many forgotten families from the Sims 1! Love this video! 💙📺
Subbed immediately. I’ve been looking for more Sims 1 content
Great video! Was nice hearing about some of these other sims. I had dial up Internet back in the day and had no idea Maxis had uploaded official Sims. Thanks for sharing a link to download them. I remember back in the day so many different Sims 1 downloads and custom content on many sites. I remember their were pet dogs and pigs that were obiects that could live or die and move around randomly and had to be fed was interesting. Alot of interesting CC back then.
I miss when The Sims had this much care and attention put into the families and their backstories. Love this ❤❤❤❤
Omg you just unlocked some memories for me...
I am enchanted in so many ways! I had little idea about the existence of these families, and especially about the connections! Thank you for bringing this content with a freshness and feeling that holds us from the beginning to the end of the video. The Sims 1 was special and had a significant impact! Eric Hedman, the art director, created a discord to gather stories and share stories about the game's development, I've been doing some coverage and if you want to join, there's a recent video in which I present some stories, in the description there's a link to it. I think you'll like it!
It's lovely to watch videos related to the Sims 💖
please can you play these premades, or do some kind of series with them or like how you'd play with them when you were younger? this brings back so many memories
Always thankful to my babysitter for introducing me to the game in the early aughts 😊
Love the video, so many memories! Keep up the amazing content 😍
Keep up the good work! Really appreciate these!
I love sims lore videos! Your voice is so nice to listen to 😊
I never really played the sims 1 so I dont really have a clue about the households but it was definetly interesting to hear you talk about them!
This unlocked some memories I'd forgotten I had!
Another video! We're getting so spoiled ❤ That was really fun, many of these families I didn't remember at all
i really want a video about the sims 1 theories after watching this!!!
I wish they would give all those forgotten families some love.
great video, you have my sub, even though I don’t really remember most of them except for Mashugas. 😊
Man, this makes me wanna play The Sims 1 again. Btw, thanks for the link!
Sims 4 is my first sims game so I love learning about the past games! It would be super neat to see some of these families and their houses return!
I love it!! Subscribed!
The Mashuga Family!! My favorite family in the Sims 1. First of all, as you said, Sylvia working in the paranormal career (which is also my favorite) is so iconic and Frankie is kinda a kink. I loved their house as a kid and I still adore their style.

I've got some other video ideas I'd like to try as well, and then of course Superstar first as well!
the Landgraabs aren't actually a featured family in Sims 1. They are mentioned countless times in ingame text and descriptions for Lots and Objects but they were never a playable family, until the Sims 2 with Open for Business which features a distant but very wealthy relative "Malcolm Landgraab IV". It wasn't until Sims 3 they actually got a proper introduction with a full fledged family.
@k-rce
Ай бұрын
They’re actually introduced as a fam in the Sims for console, but Landgraab industries is already mentioned in SimCity 3000
These were the iconic families that made Sims special, including the families you can download for it too, and they deserve to be reanimated into Sims 4.
That second house was like my fav thing ever. Iconic, all of it.
I would often marry Whatshisname Hick and Claire Charming, they along with their 4 dogs were my favorite family to play. Mama hick used to get untimely demises launching fireworks indoors and such :(

Omg I’m in love with this 🤩
Love your videos
For years i was only familiar with the sims 3 because it was the only one that had my native language as an option (way before the sims 4 was even a concept) . Now more than a decade later, and after having learned english, I started playing the sims 2 and I love it. Recently I tried downloading the sims without any success but your videos make want to give it another try!
Still to this day I play the the Sims games from sims 1 to sims 3. I recently found the demo game of Steering Commitee and downloaded it of course. I'm obsessed with this Sims 1 and Sims 2 Beta history, it's really fascinating to me how both of these games, have been in a crazy changes of aesthetics and in general their UI. I found lots of sims 1 mods that are old and based on Beta, and of course I found all these forgotten families.
These sims 1 videos are so good to see! Thank you for this 🙏 the sims team need to go back to basics with sims 5 and get inspiration from sims 1 🤞
Nice video, I hope your channel gets more subscribers, because you deserve it 😊
I would love a video like this on Sims 2, there are so many cool families there!
I can’t believe I never knew about the Agent house that is so cool
YAY! Thank you for this video! I was disappointed to see these wonderful families missing from later sims games. I wrote Sims1 fan fiction that featured the Roomies! I just recreated the Hatfields in my Sims2 game, house and all! 😂

Flamingos in the yard. Life used to be so hard. Now everything is easy cuz of you.
I gave the hairstyle like you have to Tiffany Sampson in my game and oh my you're reminding me her so much
Something about the Mashugas always interested me; such a quirky couple. It's really a shame they were never reintroduced in later installments
Kind of obsessed with this proposed lore. Fully accepting that Sylvia scammed Mama.

I forgot about the Valentino house! I used to play with them all the time as a kid. The Mashugas were my ultimate favorite, though! 🦩
Great video :)
Everyone talks ONLY about the Goth family, and I never really liked to even play for them that much. Mashuga were so much more fun with their flashy decorated house, the vibrating bed, the sad clown picture (yes, I was horrible at sims 1 as a child, guess how many times did I meet Sunny the Clown) and a golden David statue in boxers
You deserve more subs!
The Roomies are near and dear to my heart because they were the first family I ever played (and, yes, I did have them fall in love and get married lol).
thank you for a rundown on the downloadable families, never really got to know them before
roomies were my FAVORITE!!!
i luved your review and i think the mashuga's needs rendition too! They should bring back these families in new future packs ❤🔥❤🔥 they lost the chance do bring the mashuga's in the supernatural one
I loved Claire Chsrming! After Makin’ Magic came out I always made her a witch. I made a TS4 version of her, obsessed.
Chris and Melissa also appeared in the console version of Sims 1.
If there's something that is really missing from The Sims nowadays, for me, is CON ARTISTRY! The Psychic Phone Friend is sorely missed!
To me is a little obvious that some of these families don’t appear later, some of them are clearly child free people and I love that, but it would be nice to see the past of some of them
Wow this is so cool
