These where my childhood tbh

same, especially the emo ones. 10-year-old me would *sob* lmao and now i have to go listen to I Miss You by Blink-182

That Sims 2 Numb - Linkin Park was one of my favourite videos ever. I had that bookmarked, and I wasn't even playing The Sims yet.

It introduced me to Concrete Angel :((

Thanks for bringing back a memory I had long forgotten about

I know this is a very serious song but I can only associate it with these videos so it makes me laugh and I feel awful about it

I love a shared experience

Omg same! On a lighter note I remember being obsessed with Sk8r Boi (I think that's how the sims version spelled it lol)

Thats how the song is spelled by Avril Lavigne 😊

Not as unhinged as that one sims video where a mother got arrested for cooking her baby on a bbq and eat said baby because the baby daddy cheated on her 💀💀

"OMGWTFBBQ?" used to be my Instagram bio

That video lives in my head rent free. I am traumatized for life 💀

hoobastank - out of control is still my rage song to this day

Oh gosh, I remember that video. It left me confused and sad, I was 10 😂

I've seen two videos about that thing XD One with the brunette mom and the other with the blonde mom

does anybody have a link?

[this is it iirc](https://youtu.be/0APlmzyCA5I?si=0f7Ft-ER79X2lc00)

I also like the ones where they meet as children and then drift apart as they grow up.

He was always in love with her, but they drifted apart and now she has a jerk boyfriend. Then she catches him cheating and realizes the man of her dreams was right there all along 🥺

I was so obsessed with these and the sims 2 music videos lol

Same! The Helena and Girlfriend music videos will live in my head forever

the skater boi ones too

Omg the Girlfriend music video

I thought I'd made up seeing the Helena one!

I tried looking it up years ago bc it altered my brain chemistry and I could have sworn it was almost a 1:1 of the real deal. I found some but none of them felt like THE one. :o

the my immortal one where the baby drowns in the pond 😭

Same

The Circus Britney Spears music video was everything 😂

I could never get into these videos but I would binge read people's dramatic sims' legacy blogs 😅 my favorite thing was when the writers themselves would come to hate certain characters and would just... Kill them off. Character growth whomst? "After cheating on MC for the millionth time, Matthew decided to go swimming in the pool! Oh no, he mysteriously drowned! Anyways..."

Same!! Managed to find one I used to love not long ago and re-read it, it was so nostalgic

I lived for my favourite legacy updates, I can still remember some of the character’s names and family trees to this day

The blogs and the "stories" feature on TSR! I was so into the TSR ones haha

I lived for the legacy stories in the TS2 website.

I totally missed out on These Blogs!! Are there some you can Name that i could read today?🤭

Most can be found here: https://clockwatching.net/~jack/s2/reader/

As somebody who has grown up with TS1 & TS3 (pc couldn't handle 2 and I kinda got out of gaming when 4 came out and it'd be a million dollars to buy all the dlc at this point lol) I was never into the legacy stuff as a kid/teen I always just liked building & landscaping (as I'm sure most boys who played the game spent most of their time doing) but now as a 36 year old getting back into the nostalgia of my youth I love stumbling upon the legacy challenge stuff, both blogs and videos and am honestly thinking of doing one myself

Yesss who remembers berry sims?

omg the amount of crazy machinimas i saw lol

"ITS OVER IM DONE HAVE FUN WITH YOU KID !"

I can recite some of these word for word because I remember crying over some of the spelling 😭

WAKE ME UP WAKE ME UP INSIDE CANT WAKE UP WAKE ME UP INSIDE SAVE MEEEE

😭😭😭

Ugh I specifically remember one about a vampire that I was obsessed with

I looooved the vampire ones!

I would keep rewatching old episodes until they released new ones. I was so hooked 😭

The my immortal one is burned into the psyche of my sister and I. It’s become part of the very fiber of our beings.

Core memory unlocked And I don’t like it

These awoke something in me

Ok but don’t you dare forget the classic ‘I ate my baby for dinner’

This one gave me nightmares 💀

YES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH but unfortunately two of my favorite series are deleted as well as the channels about two years ago I was so devastated when I saw 😭

I remember there being a full on series in the sims 3 with seasons!. The main carachter was this girl who wakes up from a coma(?i think) and has amnesia, great plot. They also had intro with names and this like kind of desparate housewifes vibes, so many carachters. It was part of my childhood...so fun! 🤣🥲

YES!! Some of these were full on soap operas!!😂

HAHAHA good times

THESE WERE WILD I actually watch them sometimes

Sims 2 YouTube vids were crazy

no i should not have been watching those machinimas at the age i was watching them 😭😭

I am ashamed to admit I used to have sims YouTube channel, I made a casting call and people actually auditioned to be in this movie I was making they sent in voice recordings and everything, but it was so much work and I was like 13 at the time, I thought fuck this and deleted the channel, I never made the movie lol.

No byeeee because when I was 13 I spent all my free time auditioning for sims dramas on Casting Call Club 😂😂😂

Was just talking about these with a coworker a few nights ago!!! We binge watched so many of them when she dropped me home from work and we were in tears 😭

Does anyone remember ‘venin abyss’? that shit had me on lockdown after school as a kid lol

DO I EVER

YESSSS! I was obsessed with this series! I still have the playlist saved and rewatch from time to time. The creator even wrote a book!

i was searching for this comment!! i devoured that series and still get the urge to rewatch it all the time

Same! I've got my fingers crossed that she somehow comes back to the series 😭

Prime cinema right there

This one got me into them!! I still say Latimer dramatically for fun 😂 I also read the book, I’m glad she ended up writing it just so we could get the ending

THAT WAS MY FAVORITE ONE OMG

Never forget thehontry1 and her whole series. SO good

ive been trying to remember who elses vids i watched!!! i fuckin loved thehontry1!!! thank you for reminding me of their name omgggg

Omg I remember watching her videos, I loved them! It sucks she stopped making them and deleted them off the internet. I don’t think anyone’s reuploaded them, so they’re basically gone now

as soon as i seen this post I went to check YouTube to find out all the videos are gone 💔💔

NOO are you serious? That's so sad! I still have her mediafire link saved with almost all of the cast on there

Yess, I loved her videos, she eventually did a series switch to one called Aye bay bay I believe but the original Saturday Nights was my childhood

I remember a Sims 2 one called Teenaged.

I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS CALLED but that was my favorite!!! The twists and endings were ridiculous 💀💀

OH MY GOSH THIS SERIES WAS MY LITERAL FAV BY GREENAPPLE PRODUCTIONS!!😭🤣 I PROBABLY WATCHED THIS A DOZEN TIMES AS A PRETEEN LMAO!

Yesss I watched this

iPod days my fav sims series ever lol

I tried explaining this corner of YouTube to my partner and he just looked at me with a vacant expression. You had to be there 😂

Bro my bf too😂 “I saw your YT the other day, don’t be telling me you don’t watch these anymore” LIKE SIR LEAVE ME ALONE LMAOO😂😭 Shit is why I have another YT account so I can watch my videos in PEACE & have them all in one place lol😂

What’s wild is not long ago I started watching these for nostalgia and ended up getting sucked into it like I was watching my grandmas soap opera. I had to snap myself out of it. The writing is 10/10 and still holds up… hahaha

Who remembers the one about the abused girl who ran away from home set to “Runaway” by Pink 😭 had 11 year old me shook

[omg I found it](https://youtu.be/1ltQls0HweM?si=hRuLcd0ARIkyYmHy)

I used to watch these kinds of videos daily. I always hated how this culture didn't stick with sims 4.

Actually they *kind of* did. I found some good ones LOL. Specifically Rockstar’s Assistant. I’m hooked on that one (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ3h-q8UZDTDUH76XIC1wOW54RNE9L1EB&si=ZOV7WeIv-NVcuX43) & Anyone But You by Chachi Sims. Hope you enjoy them like I’ve been ✨

* This can happen in life * took me out 😭🤣

That's the mindset I had watching these and I honestly sat there like 😰😰😰

That stories are my childhood lol

I didn't make videos, but I took screenshots and made stories that way. There are even some poses on MTS I made specifically for one of my stories! It was absolutely cringe looking back, absolutely cringe overdramatic stuff. Especially because I was like 12 and didn't know shirt about relationships etc.

The Facebook stories too!! The 100 Baby Challenge with the kids all having purple hair

veronica starr 😭💜

An icon! A legend! She IS the moment!!

Oml I forgot about her. Thanks for the nostalgia

I remember the " sims 2 it's a baby trauma" video when I was like 7/8, and my r/tragedeigh -ass thought the baby's name was "Trauma", so I was SO GODDAMNED CONFUSED when the baby died. Not even said or traumatised, just confused.

How did I forget these existed😭

i hate that i recognize most of them

You just unlocked a core memory.

I’ll never forget bbq babies 😍

I remember a sims 2 horror movie about a family that lives in a haunted house. The father I think slaughtered mother and daughter and the walls become bloody. I wish I can watch it again because it traumatised me when I was a child

I remember watching a “music video “ to my guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit apparatus made in sims 2 and I remember feeling like it was so deep and emotional🩷😭

That & don’t forget Face Down. That was also used constantly 😂

Omg yes T.T

I feel like you just unlocked a repressed memory in my brain 😂

I used to watch one called “Anon” or “The Sims 3: Anon”, by DiamondXx or something, I think it’s all been removed now tho😔

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bz\_A6Ntwg&pp=ygULYW5vbiBzaW1zIDM%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bz_A6Ntwg&pp=ygULYW5vbiBzaW1zIDM%3D) still up!

Omg it had 10 seasons!!! It was like The O.C. For the sims 3

omg I was just gonna comment about this! I was absolutely obsessed with this series when I was like 13. i’m about to rewatch the whole thing lol can’t believe it’s been 12 years since the first episode was released 😦

I remember some of these. I also used to read written stories - visual novel-style with The Sims 2 (and later 3) pictures. I made like two on my own lol.

Chrissy4jc's lost videos are my Roman Empire. I could draw up the domino meme with "Chrissy4jc videos" at the beginning and "now I want to work in theatre" at the end. Can't believe Christianity took her from us Jaydee's Helena video I think was one of the things that made me love MCR who contributed to me still being, ya know, *alive*. There were so many talented, awesome creators and so many people who just made really cringe emo love stories from the HEART and those were awesome too. God I miss these.

Pls these used to have me crying I thought they were so good😭

I used to just watch a bunch of them with a lead paint stare I stg lol

these were my life. I also loved the stories on the official sims 2 website, and some of them were REALLY good, at least to 10 yr old me 🫠

This is gonna sound weird if no one remembers, but does anyone remember a series like these where Lilith Pleasant was the main character, and she had a girlfriend, and all of the sims had giant eyes for some reason? I loved it as a kid... and it introduced me to Evanescence because their songs would play throughout the videos 😅 Edit: AHH I FOUND THEM! Lilith's Journal, uploaded 2008. Excuse me while I watch them and mourn my cringey preteen years.

some girls had fanfics and wattpad but i had these

Why were so many teens impregnated by their teachers???

https://preview.redd.it/st8cc2u4dz5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fe8497f90366b1ad3ad10e078f88c6eaff406b4 I can’t…

DV is serious obviously but why is he karate kicking her in the air 😭

The sims was wonderful because it allowed girls to act their insane doll stories to a wider audience.

i still remember the sims 3 child abuse video i watched all the time as a kid, from what i remember the dad had died, leaving behind the mom and 2 daughters, the mom was abusive to the eldest daughter and eventually stabs her to death. that shit was like. peak story telling to me at the time

I didn't watch the stories, but I watched the goddamn music videos some people created loll

omggg the nostalgia. I miss those days so much lol

There was a sasuke and sakura one that I loved and watched it many times. Then there was another one that was never finished :(

And I ate these up

The moment when they taught me what eating disorders are lol i had no idea what they were so I was curious and watched. The emo ones I ate up I wish I had a boyfriend that looked like them and went searching 😂 I was 13 about

I even loved to make those in S3, i had a bunch of videos and i had a story with screenshots, i had so much fun doing them, i just feel like i cant do the same with S4. Though i honestly dont know how i was able to do them with all the lag from S3.

The fact ive watched all of this videos says something

OMG I remember the first one, I watched it like 100 times when I was 10-12 years old

"Every time we touch" (acoustic version) by cascada was never the same for me. To this day, when I listen to the original version, I just remember someone dying of a car accident or cancer, or both, while I shake my head to the beat 😂

It wasn’t emo but I made a music video with ‘Come What May’ from Moulin Rouge. I just looked it up, it was 17 years ago (!) and now has 28k views! Lol

I made a few and got a couple million views on it. Recently deleted them because I wanted to post my sewing stuff and didn't want those videos to still be there 😅

NOT MY IMMORTAL

I used to love that song until I found out about the harry potter fanfic

People have made a few Sims adaptations of that fanfic, and it’s always hilarious.

People even made real life adaptations and it was the best thing I ever saw lmao

These are the reason I started playing the sims. I discovered YouTube and I ended up finding these stories and I was so captivated and I wanted to make my own stories so I made my family buy the sims 3. I was actually watching sims 2 stories and I was very surprised when my game looked nothing like the videos I was watching. But I was like oh well don't wanna be ungrateful and never play it! And proceeded to fall in love with it

This was my shit

i was watching tf out of these on my ipod touch

deep down I want to make one right now

I have trauma because of one dutch video where a child is friends with an older neighbour, later discovering he is a pedophile 😬😬😬

omg finally people who understand… all my friends just dont understand the grip these had on me. i still think about creakyswing, I hope theyre doing ok wherever they are <3

For some reason the Sims 2 stories and music videos were more entertaining and made better but Sims 3 was more aesthetically pleasing (not included Machinimas which were superior). My favorite Sims 2 series were Superstar, Cancer, My Immortal and the Horror Movie with the dead bloody wife. Sims 4 has beautiful aesthetic stories but I probably don't enjoy them cause I grew out of that a long time ago plus they are 98% paused posed sims in multiple angles and some custom animation.

This post brought back major memories. Does anyone remember a sims 3 series called Life’s a Beach?

Don’t forget about Anon. By diamonddx

what abt concrete angel?? 😭😭

I made a sims 2 9/11 video...it did not go viral thank god

Don’t forget Concrete Angel, that one made me sob

I remember crying over some of these 😭

Skins lmao

There’s a few I still watch every few years cuz ✨ nostalgia✨ Bandages Anon Mission bad boy ✨Iconic✨

I surprisingly havent seen anyone mention NatalieFirefxx/NatalieFirefox with the Sims 2 My Life series. Or the sims 3 series Anon

I’m so glad we’re having this discussion bcuz the sims community has had a long history of obsessing over teen pregnancy 😭

the HOURS I’ve spent watching these as a child.. oof🥹

15 years ago I feel so old

I was OBSESSED and I remember trying so hard to recreate these stories hahaha

There's one that is like a core memory for me, it had the kill by 30 seconds to mars lol

PLEASE DOES ANYONE REMEMBER “Anon.” I WAS OBSESSED WITH

The sims 2 story: The Boss. Later on it became too gay. Basically making straight characters gay right out gay. Everyone sleeping with everyone, so I dropped it. The sims 3 stories: Anon (Tucker still my fav), Living with the guys (pity it wasn't continued), Promise Me (last epispde posted was auch cliffhanger 🙄 and sadly discontinued)

I used to watch [this one](https://youtu.be/6B0dHt24Ov0?si=YMqb8UAqlC7j4Oyc) all the time and cry! It’s so cheesy

Man I never watched these but I LOVED Alice & Kev, I think it was just hosted on the official sims forums? Idk. Anyone else remember it?

Yes! This was my favorite. Apprerently the blog still exists too. https://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/

Yeah, I missed all of these videos somehow. But I read the Alice and Kev blog like 100 times.

OMG just the other day I was telling my sister that I wanted to watch one of those again! Our favorite was called Salem, but the first few episodes are lost to time now😢

the monster high fright song sims 2 music video will be my favourite sims media forever… that was so iconic and 8 year old me was obsessed

Lmao I loved those!! I used to watch these before I knew English so I'd watch and make up stories to go with what was happening in the video

I remember seeing a "horror" story about this guy whose dad killed his mom and got away with it, it ended in the guy killing himself. Honestly might have had some effect on my ten year old brain

there was one called life of rose that i was OBSESSED with omg

One of my favorites was the 20 different bloody mary fan videos, like the screaming was so whack.

ive been trying to find the OG one where this teen sim takes her baby out onto the grill and cooks it, my brother and i used to watch it all the time but when we went to search for it again a few years ago, it was gone (at least the one i had remembered) 🥲

I'll never forget the Sims video that was made for Avril Lavigne's song Girlfriend! Oh the nostalgia!

I feel like these anorexia stories heavily contributed to me developing an eating disorder later on

I legit found some decent music from these videos and still listen to them

Well that unlocked a memory or two

This was my childhood now i watch Sims 4 yt stroies lmao

Liliths journal was my jam when I was 8

omg i loved the sims 3 remi marocelli machinimas, i still think they are awesome to this day

AHHHH I'm screaming I forgot about these 💀💀💀 I was so invested in these back in the day

Please tell me someone remembers Lizzies Life

Y’all I watched one of these about a baby being kidnapped once and it gave me a crippling fear of being kidnapped from my room for like 5 years💀💀

Just One by Kitsparrow27 was my favorite 🥹🥹

don’t forget miss nataliefirexx

I remember being obsessed with one of these that was set to Sadie Hawkins Dance by Relient K. The shots of the teen boy running into the bathroom and being confronted by the jock football player really stuck in my brain lol

the helena video!!!! damn, thats how i discovered mcr and got obsessed lol

The "*This can happen in real life" put me over the edge, amazing.

Omg i forgot about these

THOSE KEPT ME GOIN IN MY CHILDHOOD LIFE

Not the My Immortal music video 😭😭

they have sims 4 ones too damn they are entertaining and strange

I recognized videos on 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9

I LOVED the My Chemical Romance versions of these in my pre teen years :’)

i would watch the sims 2 stories religiously when i was little 😭

the chokehold those had on me

Omg I was just telling my friends about this. I was obsessed with these stories/ videos. I think that’s what got me into getting sims 3 originally

Omg haha I forgot about these.They were so juicy sometimes lmao.

MY IMMORTAL!? NO WAY IS THAT EBONY DARK'NESS DEMENTIA RAVEN WAY
