HEY DOG (see what I did there??), to those of you who notice the details, just to clarify I didn't realize that the little bottom sliver of my screen was missing until I'd finished recording because I was so amazed you could actually do this challenge before it was too late - see 4:09 for explanation why. Love you lots XOXO - AA

the sims is so overpoweringly american-suburban that even your dog carpools to their 9-5. absolutely incomprehensible

HAHAHA! Snark's life is terrible! Just a toilet, shower, fridge, bed, computer... ...oh my god he's me...

Snark sobbing and screaming in the background while Bark chats with the neighborhood dog 😂

Funny how a dog in 2006 was working 7 hours a day, earning $17.86. Way higher than minimum wage at the time. The dog was a hustler!

Snark bird watching when he's trapped in a windowless box... He's already losing it

I appreciate that the human was wearing a collar but the dog wasn't

Something a lot of youtubers don't seem to realize regarding the bills is that if you buy a solar panel or two you can completely negate your bills. Very useful for no-leaving challenge runs!

at 18:38 as AA is talking about Bark and Abbey, you can hear Snark losing his entire mind. He's just screaming in the distance. Hilarious

Every time AA plays Sims 2 I’m transported back to my childhood like Ego in Ratatouille.

Pets in the sims 2 are honestly surprisingly lucrative. I once had a multi sim family survive only on the celebrity pet's income 😂 classic realistic gameplay 👌

18:46 please bro just SCREAM CRYING in the background while the dogs chat is just so 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Headcanon: the doors between the dog-feeding vestibule and the rest of the house are perfectly functional, and Snark is just too stupid to figure out how to open them.

48:00 Sims 2 does have cheats built in to be able to directly control animals. Still haven't figured out why it was locked behind a cheat 20 years later, but you can do it.

Tip: If you want to get rid of the trash without a trace, buy a trash chute and place it on the wall

2:46 "keep him from going crazy" I think we are well past that point already, the man is watching birds inside a box with no windows...

i'd love to see a version of this but in the sims 3. you can fully live on your own as an animal in sims 3, it's insane

18:47 the crying in the background😂

I don't know if you'd do a challenge like this again, but I think dogs can beg strangers for food so if you got a mod that enabled controls for pets you really could try a dog-only run

18:40 if you listen, it's the tormented soul of a Zukerburg as the audio track, justice served.
