I miss The Life of Kevin.

As much as I love the sims4, you can tell that people are kinda having trouble making their videos feel fresh and entertaining after 6 years.

Yeah. It feels like most of the Sims YouTubers I follow do Build or CAS challenges now. It says a lot about the current state of the game when even their own shills don't want to play the main game.

Anyway, I love KPopp. She did a lot of crazy things, like Izzy Investigates (her sim investigates sims and she spins a story about a cult), a series following her model sim, and Hunger Games challenges. She was great. But IIRC her computer broke and her files were lost, so all those stories just didn't get completed. And she doesn't seem to finish the stories she does now, since they're kept as one-off things on streams.

She's been super busy IRL and doesn't use YouTube anymore. But I really wanted to see more of her sims stories.

I only really watch Urbansims videos on youTube. If I feel like watching something a bit less than normal sims related I will watch Grey still plays cause I find his videos and commentary amusing sometimes.

I tend to avoid the overly negative youTubers. I enjoy the game currently and I don't really want their negativity bringing me down.

I can't imagine how stressful it must be to make YouTube videos for a living with a life simulator game like the sims. You have to constantly come up with new things to create in order to record and edit your videos.

I used to watch CaptainSauce a lot, and I did like his Life of Kevin videos. The only thing that bothered me about his videos was that he obviously used a lot of mods, but never explained how he used them, leaving most people to think that this was all a part of the Sims 4. It almost came off as disingenuous to me. At least CallmeKevin tells you what mods he'd using.
I ended up unsubscribing from him because he started doing only VR all the time, which wasn't my cup of tea.
MattShea also used to do some good sims videos back in the day, but all he really plays is BattleCats now.
At least we have CallMeKevin and GreyStillPlays who still play the Sims. And of course, we have the regular Sims youtubers, like James Turner, Deligracy, Carmen King, Plumbella, etc.

My favorite is EnglishSimmer :)

She has a few let’s play-series that I watched and I like the animal crossing let’s play too.

I’m having fun with the game so I am drawn to those who are having fun as well. Sometimes I watch Deligracy or James Turner as well.

I do too. But I have been enjoying his content still. They help me sleep at night. Octodad series was really good. When I started watching Sims videos, stampylonghead had really good ones too. He doesn't make Sims ones anymore, but yes that type of humor I love. Probably why I love DrGluon's content too.

Stampylonghead is a corgi owner too, so I am partial towards fellow corgi owners and his has a tail too.

It's not really the same but I used to love Plumbellas videos but now she seems to have lost her enthusiasm and passion, her newer videos are all twitch streams edited which isn't really that interesting and she seems to be stressing over pushing out content rather than just having fun with it. Also I've found that a lot of other YouTubers I used to like only ever do build videos now which isn't as entertaining

A little off topic but I'm with you on all the build videos lately. I wasn't really a fan of them to begin with but now it seems to be all anyone is doing right now.

Not at all :smile:

Edit: I missed the “stopped uploading part in the OP”

I like CallMeKevin but i dont watch his Sims 4 videos. Even those bore me!
