Playing The Sims 1 in The Sims 4 (The Newbies - update July 31)

[ Edited ]
★★★ Apprentice

Hello! This is my first post here in these forums and I'm going to do a little rotational play in Newcrest where I have recreated Neighborhood 1 from The Sims 1!

 

First of all, welcome to Neighborhood 1...er...Simville? I'm not sure it ever had an official name. At any rate, we may as well just call it Newcrest. 

 

 

Map replacement is by 20th Century Plumbob. 

 

I'm going to be starting with The Newbie family, which seems fitting to me since they are the first family to be played in the tutorial in The Sims 1. I never played the Sims 1; I started with 2, hence why I'm recreating it.

 

I don't really have any set rules, except that I'll be sticking with base game aspirations and traits for now (aside from what happens with self discovery), as well as only doing careers that were available in the Sims 1. I'll also be sticking to Newcrest until I start building new things from the expansion packs for the Sims 1. Sticking with Neighborhood 1 was enough for now. We'll see how far I get. Aging is on only for my active household, and as far as rotations go, I don't have any set time, but will just rotate to the next family when I feel like it.

 


 

Meet The Newbies:

 

Bob and Betty are new to the neighborhood! They live at 7 Sim Lane and need to make some friends and get used to their new environment.

 

Bob has the slob, lazy, and bookworm traits. He's also discovered through self discovery that he can be quite the romantic! Who knew? It must have been SOMETHING that charmed Betty into marrying him though, because she is almost his opposite. She is active, creative, and neat. She's also discovered that she's squeamish. The cause of this? Having to clean up after Bob's messiness. She can't clean up after him without getting queasy, and so they've had to hire a maid. Large smile

 

Bob's aspiration is to have a big family (big happy family), and Betty's is to be a musician (musical genius).

 

In the next post, we'll meet their neighbors.

Meet the neighbors!

 

Families are listed in the order I intend to play them.

 


 

5 Sim Lane - The Goths

 

05-16-24_8-42-00 PM.png

05-16-24_8-43-18 PM.png

 

Cheerful and outgoing, Mortimer brings his old country upbringing into the modern age. He has an unusual fondness for insects. Elegant and athletic are two qualities that describe his wife, Bella. She enjoys a variety of activities from golf to miniature golf. Their daughter Cassandra is the quiet mysterious type. Nobody ever knows quite what she's thinking.

 


 

3 Sim Lane - The Roomies

 

05-14-24_10-32-46 AM.png

05-11-24_8-28-27 PM.png

 

Chris and Melissa are new to the neighborhood. These two party girls are ready to make some friends and have some fun!

 


 

6 Sim Lane - Michael Bachelor

 

05-16-24_9-09-01 PM.png

05-16-24_9-09-38 PM.png

 

Michael Bachelor is fresh out of college and doesn't know what to do with his life.

 


 

10 Sim Lane - The Pleasants

 

05-22-24_8-23-35 PM.png

05-22-24_2-02-26 PM.png

 

Jeff and his family are also new to the neighborhood. Jeff hopes he can provide for his family while also fulfilling his lifelong dream of being the first man to walk on Mars. Diane just wants her family to be successful and the children, Daniel and Jennifer, want to make friends and succeed in school.

1 Sim Lane - The Jones Family

 

05-10-24_9-34-03 PM.png

05-10-24_9-38-35 PM.png

 

You know the saying? Keeping up with the Joneses? Well, the Jones family are doing pretty well for themselves. Or are they? Every family has their quirks. Edward works in business, Barbara is a stay at home mom, and Bobby is doing well in school. Sounds perfect, right? I guess we'll have to wait and find out. 

 


 

4 Sim Lane - The Maximus Family

 

05-16-24_11-01-18 AM.png

05-15-24_6-35-39 PM.png

 

"Jimmy" liked to use people. Or rather, he didn't necessarily like to use people, it was just something he did all the time. A very emotionless, insensitive person, he would lead the ladies' heart astray with compliments and mild flirting when he wanted something from them. He didn't care which one of them got hurt as he saw them only as stepping stones. That is...until he met his match in Princess Zaghawa. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she was was raised in a world of comfort and leisure. But her wild heart and free spirit could not be tamed by the mediocre aristocrats that craved her hand in marriage. Following her heart and talent led her to the top of the opera world, but it wasn't until she met the amazing MAHUIZOH "Jimmy" Maximus that she knew her true love.

 


 

8 Sim Lane - The Valentinos

 

05-19-24_2-30-35 PM.png

05-18-24_9-17-42 PM.png

 

Rudy is a hopeless romantic with dreams of being famous and Julia is a detective in law enforcement.

 


 

9 Sim Lane - The Hatfields

 

05-21-24_8-34-02 PM.png

05-20-24_7-13-20 PM.png

 

Ulysses T. Hatfield never thought he was good for anything, but deep down he felt he was meant for something. He joined the military and hopes that putting his trust in a "higher authority" will help him figure out what he's meant for in life. For his wife, Ruby Ann, life always seems to be greener on the other side of the fence. She wanted to be an actress, but it never seemed to work out. At least she has a good man by her side and three beautiful children. Her daughter, Elizabeth Elvira, seems to have a lot of potential. Ruby Ann seems to be living life vicariously through her brilliant daughter, while her two sons, Billy and Hank, just seem to cause trouble and tease their sister. 

 


 

2 Sim Lane

 

05-11-24_7-55-20 PM.png

 

2 Sim Lane - The empty mansion at the top of the hill and the envy of everyone in the neighborhood.

Let's get started!

 

05-24-24_9-13-03 PM.png

05-24-24_9-15-54 PM.png

 

The first thing to do is to find jobs for these two!

 

Bob is lazy and not interested in much. Going into business and working in the mailroom seems like a good option for him. 

 

Betty wants to be a musician, so she's going into the Entertainment career. 

 

More under the spoiler!

Since it's Sunday, they will just relax and get ready for their first days at work.

05-24-24_9-18-59 PM.png

Betty needs to practice guitar and Bob decides to enjoy the outdoors and read a book.

Bob may have found an activity he likes to do. 

He may be a slob...

Seriously, Bob? I think you missed the toilet. That's disgusting.

But...

05-24-24_9-33-52 PM.png

He does the cooking.

05-25-24_9-17-24 PM.png

And the repairs!

05-25-24_8-25-57 PM.png

And Betty loves him, and that's good enough for him.

05-24-24_9-37-11 PM.png

More next time. Thanks for reading. Standard smile

More from The Newbies.

They met some of their neighbors - Diane Pleasant and Bella Goth.

Betty decided to play outside to try and earn some tips, even though she wasn't that good at guitar yet. Turns out, you need to be on a public venue to get tips I think. Oh well.

Or maybe she was just really bad...

05-24-24_9-40-31 PM.png
05-24-24_9-41-23 PM.png

Barbara was scared off by her playing, but at least Diane stuck around. Her and Betty actually got on quite well.

05-25-24_9-07-20 PM.png

Betty had to go off to work, and...Diane decided to stick around and chat with Bob. Oh dear. I guess they got on pretty well too.

05-25-24_9-11-35 PM.png
05-25-24_9-12-11 PM.png

Bob, stop flirting with Diane! Time to send her home. The random flirting in this game is out of hand. 

Well, in a short time, both Bob and Betty were promoted to level 3 in their careers! I think an upgrade to the house may be in order soon...
