We just released a new trailer for our retro shop sim!

Hi friends! What do you think?

Shop Crush is a mysterious shop simulator with psychological horror elements, set in the early 2000s.

In this hybrid visual novel, you run a small thrift shop, get to know your customers, figure out what they really want, and decide what to put in front of them. Every customer has their own personality, preferences, and hidden motives - and it’s up to you to figure them out.

Behind each customer is a small psychological mystery waiting to be uncovered. Read their behavior, make the right calls, and balance profit against customer trust as you try to keep the shop running for one more day.

Sims 1 looked better/had more content then Sims 4.

Not only did Sims 1 original neighborhood view Look better at its launch the game had more in it's launch. Than Sims 4. It took years for Sims 4 to get everything Sims 1 had in 2000. I also heard from people Sims 4 has no cars anymore? They're purely set dressing, they don't show up and take sims anywhere sims cannot own them. At least the Last time I heard about 4 they didn't have cars. Sims 2-3 are amazing sure. But Sims 1 it's untouchable.

Why?

I never understood why child sims couldn't use this. I kind of understand the Hot tub, but this? Every summer camp & rec center I went to growing up as a kid had one of these tables. It was normally beat to shit, we'd screw around with it for 5-10 minutes then never touch it again. But none the less it was there for kids to play with.

Something Interesting I've never really paid attention to.

Sims Moods are obviously affected based off how clean or Nice the room is. Turns out the wallpaper, Floor have zero affect on the room score. You could literally have sims Sleeping on the lawn and the room would be 100. I always assumed the Carpet, wallpaper played into the sims room need. Apparently that 20K we get could be put towards the nicest items in game, without painting the walls or Putting down flooring. Just make sure the Lot itself stays clean and Room will always be green.

Looking for 1900s-1910s (or vaguely Victorian) skins, heads & furniture

Hello! I am starting a 1910s neighborhood in the Sims 1 Legacy Collection & I'm currently hunting for period CC. Ofc it doesn't have to be exact. Really anything era ambiguous that reads "old fashioned" works!

I'm currently searching for women/mens skins & heads, furniture (or any decor), and maybe NPC, carpool or school bus replacements that look less modern. I've only really played the sims 2, so I'm not too certain if you can mod the sims 1 that intensely.

Also, I've already been through Woobsha, Parsimonious and the big Sims 1 CC archive on archive.org. If you remember any old sites or Yahoo Groups that had period stuff, I'd love to have the names so I can dig through the archives. Thanks!

I found some things on Pinterest, and I'm trying to figure out how they modded their game so nicely.

Does anyone know of a mod that prevents needs from dropping drastically in The Sims 1 Legacy Collection?

Simply the Dark Souls of life simulators.

Looking for various CCs

Hi again—yes, it’s me once more.

I’m back to ask about various custom items and a few other things while I’m at it.

1- For instance, one of the things I need is McDonald's-themed decor. Do such items exist? Maybe a large "M" logo for the wall or something similar to make the decor feel more authentic? Or perhaps a sign like the one in the second image (which is currently for a jewelry store) but featuring the McDonald's logo.

1.2- I’m also interested in signage for various types of businesses—like that chalkboard in the background. It doesn't necessarily have to be McDonald's; I have several businesses on this downtown lot, so anything shop-related would be useful.

2- This relates to the last image. I have a Pepsi machine I want to place on the downtown lot, but I don't think it's in the catalog; instead, a *SimCity* version appears, which I really don't want to use. Is there a Pepsi machine available for downtown lots? Is there a simple way to modify a file so it shows up in the catalog?

3- I have a question: I wanted to set up a pet store in this shopping center. While many items for that type of shop are available, the adoption kiosk for dogs and cats is missing. I assume it's because animals can't visit downtown, so they can't be adopted there either. Is there a mod that changes this?

4- The same issue applies to children. I created a children's clothing and toy store, but naturally, only children can access the kids' clothing racks. Since children don't visit downtown, there's no point in having those items in the shop—unless there's a mod that allows children to accompany an adult (like a parent) downtown. Does one exist?

That’s all for now. Thanks as always for your help—it’s always incredibly useful!

The classic fix mods don't work on the Legacy version. Any alternative mods?

For the sink bug, I had to replace the sink model. For the cockroaches, I hired a maid to clean everything and make the bed. As for the burglar despawning, nothing I can do. Are there any modern mods? Perhaps someone with a modicum of AI knowledge could ask it to do it.

Upside down Sim Face.

The Upside down Women, is actually part of some cut content. Early on the developers intended for the game to be more realistic. As you can see the Upside down sim, Women appears to be more realistic looking then the sims we can create. You can also not create that sim unless of course your using mods. Furthermore the sims were supposed to have expressions. Data miners found the Upside down Women face had several expressions that go unused. If a sims picture becomes corrupted or the game cannot properly load the picture it replaces the picture with the Upside down Women's head. This became a minor issue for me as a kid because I was running 2003-2004 sims expansion packs on a Windows 95 which had enough problems running the base sims game. It was creepy as Hell to go into the family bin, see all my families had the creepy Upside sim head lady. Instead of their normal pictures. Considering this was 2003, I was only 8 using the internet to figure it out wasn't much of an option. 😅

Yeah that would've ruined the appeal.

They changed it to the Sims, because the game was mostly geard towards teenagers and adults. So they figured adults especially males would be turned off to a game called DollHouse simulator. And tactical domestic simulator sounds like some FBI training deal.

TS2 -> TS1

I added in the pleasant family into my world, built them what is my best representation of what their house looks like in TS1. It's not perfect but it was fun to build. I was in mid build and came across a magnificent build of the house that came from this subreddit by u/bellagothsreddress - their work is so much better than mine I wish mines looked as good! ATM in the game, the twins are not born yet.

Gameplay Habits You've Picked Up?

I'm curious, are there any gameplay habits you had during TS1's original release that you do in-game now? As a nine-year-old, I was very paranoid about burglers, so I would put two alarms on either side of every door that led both in and outside.

These days, of course, I realize this isn't necessary, but paranoia and ingrained habits die hard, I guess, and with the re-release, I still do it now.
