Viral Gen Z Sims 1 TikToks: Guidance for Rene?

Sims 1 content is trending on TikTok with a lot of Gen Z and Gen Alpha users appreciating the charm of the game for the first time. This one account posts a lot of clips that tend to gain a lot of traction. Could this provide some guidance for Project Rene? After all, EA CEO says he wants to attract this demographic.

Users point out absurdist humor, dramatic voice acting, and charming animations. I'm noticing an interest in unexpected drama and fantastical elements.

    I know. At least someone on the marketing team from the official Sims Tiktok account commented on one of these videos. So there's one.
  • I wish Sims 5 would incorprate some of the elements of Sims 1.
    I remember in Sims 3 they used music from Sims 1, for example when going into a grocery store/ restaurant.

    Music from Sims 1 Unleashed would play while the Sim was inside the grocery store/ restaurant.
    Or the elevator music in Sims 3 Late Night, which was also taken from Sims 1 BuildBuy music!

    I would love elements like the music to come back. But leaning in even more to the Sims 1 would be my preference: Sims 1 tone, charm, suspense, etc.

    I definitely miss the charm of the Sims 1 and 2.
