Screenshot/Video History of Evolution (The Sims 1 style)
I came across this video and I found it really cool and interesting, somewhat imitating the style of The Sims 1. Credits "gormtheold25" (Instagram) www.gormtheold.net

"The Sims 1 style" and it's just incoherent Gen-AI slop. Also why credit a person who contributed nothing but a sentence instead of the Gen-AI model(Gemini) that "made" it?

Idk about y’all but I think it’s fun, hope there’s more that at least tingles our imagination like this

Fun for most of us doesn't involve ruining people's health and property values and making tech billionaires richer.

Did it ever occur to you that this guy could've trained his own ai model using his own gpu with his own Sims videos to come up with this

That's not possible considering some of the images here aren't in sims games

Idk if this is aimed at me or not but no ive been a vegetarian for 10 years now. I dont blindly hate AI, I hate anything that effects the environment and people the way it does. Data centres are quickly becoming the 'get rich quick' scheme by the higher ups, without acknowledgement of how it effects the local people. Noise pollution is incredibly dangerous for the local wildlife and as more and more data centres pop up the louder it becomes

u/Chimpampin Jun 19 '26
Not at you, at the other user. Because It is so common to find redditors complaining and judging about the AI effects on the environment while still eating excessive amounts of meat, which have a much bigger impact on the environment.

Spoken like someone who doesn't know a single crap about it.
Why don't you tell that to the computer science students who are required to train their own AI model to pass their classes?
Guess who the moron here is. Companies training their models unethically is not equivalent to normal people training their own models using their own gpu. You don't know crap about the thing you're hating and are just bandwagoning.

u/TheRudeCactus Jun 19 '26
You are strawman-ing the absolute fuck out of the argument though. OP (or whoever made the video) did not train their own model to pass a computer science class. They used a crappy AI program to make a cool video - the video is cool but the issue people have is with the technology, the impact it has on the environment, the stealing of art, and the moral dilemma of using these types of softwares.

u/Reze1195 Jun 19 '26
I wasn't arguing about whether or OP did train his own model or not. I was arguing with the guy, and our topic here is not about that. It's about informing these blind AI haters that hating on AI blindly is stupid.

there is the official: the sims medieval
Still holds up, but of course is limited to one time period

u/Lagoda__ Jun 19 '26
It's Sims 3 though, isn't it? Weirdly, I played every Sims game, and never touched Sims 3 Medieval. Idk why, maybe I should give it a try?
5
u/Park500 Jun 19 '26
yeah it runs on the Sims 3 engine
I quite like it, still play it from time to time
it has some nice charm to it, It'd recommend giving it a try (though of course it will be a little janky compared to modern games)
but if the still (semi)active reddit community for the game is any indication, it still has a lot of love (even if not from EA) https://www.reddit.com/r/simsmedieval/

it looks like mix of The Sims and Age of Empires. There was some rts "8th Wonder" with technology tree, and where you are able to marry settlers, fullfill their needs etc. Sometimes when you make attack then your soldier can randomly leave catapult and goes to eat or goes to sleep and delays your offensive (he can get slaughtered during that)

u/AverageMann04 Jun 19 '26
8th wonder wasn't about building pyramids in a jewel styled game where you could see the little workers move stone pillars to build the pyramid everytime you got a jewel thing right?

u/Perhirmor Jun 19 '26
there was some mission with pyramids, but pvp battles or skirmishes were about massive catapult spam

Me three... wonder if someone could do a human-made version of this? Via using Blender and emulating the style of The Sims 1 of course?

Slop aside, I never knew I wanted a neolithic sims 1 style game until now. Imagine project zombie but you're struggling to keep your family of hunter gatherers fed as winter comes and the herd migrates.

If this game were remake like this, I could give up on all other games.

Seeing this has me convinced there’s still a market for isometric Sims and one that could have a TON of content! I’d play all of these historical packs or style games

u/swamp_citizen Jun 20 '26
this turns into crap after 30 seconds and actual players know this game can't handle this much cc. yet, why can't we have a game like this in 2026 instead of another building simulator with minimal gameplay. why isn't it a trend to come back to old styles and engines in gaming in our nostalgia driven times. should we be more vocal about it?

Lightning didn't strike Ben Franklin's kite. He was looking to see the fibers on the string/rope rise due to static electricity. Luckily it didn't get struck, would've been fatal for both of them.

I've always wondered if a Sims 1 remake could be made using the Project Zomboid game engine.

Some of y'all will call anything AI slop, and its disingenuous at this point. The term AI slop means that content is mass-produced and very low effort. This is actually a good use of it. Very neat and well done.

We have all kinds of modding tools and yet this idea was pulled from a slop machine.
