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