Sims 2 is fascinating. I kinda miss its greenhouses, ability to actually buy something in grocery stores, ability to _buy_ animals, those fancy private school dinners, and, gosh, WITCHES. Also I can remember some building videos: guys used landscaping to form a building off-grid. Magic.
@@mwahha6965 There was so much personality in Sims 2 and 3.. there's none in 4.. you have to create it all yourself.. Sims 4 is too much of a sandbox for me. I love building on it, but I can't actually play.. even with mods trying to add more to the gameplay it doesn't do enough..
I started playing sims 2 when I was like 5 and I have this distinct memory of throwing my sim a birthday party in the dark, wallpaperless box that she lived in and only being able to afford a single balloon which popped a couple hours in. No one came and my sims later died of starvation. Happy memories.
My brother had the sims 2 or sims 3 when I was probably around the age of 6 and he used to let me play sometimes and I could never get my sim to stay alive as they would always die from starvation
seriously when my friends and I were like 7 we would play the Sims 2 together and we were awful sometimes to the sims, once we locked a man in a bathroom with just a soda can and pictures of food on the wall until he died... it was definitely a fun memory I have, but now my friends and I look back at it and laugh
“The olden days” 💀. I vividly remember making my mom take me to Walmart the day the Sims2 came out and then staying up all night playing because it was just too amazing to stop. The progression from the original Sims to the Sims2 is still the best of the franchise. I don’t know how we ever fell in love with the Sims playing the original because it was stressful lol
Amen. The progression from Sims 1 to Sims 2 was ... surreal. It was mind-boggling how much freedom you suddenly had, yet the gameplay was still so familiar. I never got quite as much into Sims 3 and 4, but Sims 2 will definitely retain a special place in my heart.
I remember when I first played the sims 2 after playing sims 1 it seemed like such an upgrade! I could not believe how amazing the graphics seemed back then lol
I remember the first time I saw The Sims - my friend showed me the Livin Large expansion pack and said he had been working on this family for a long time. And I was thinking, they only have 60K.... Little did I know....
Me sitting here having started with the Sims 1, and I remember when the Sims 2 came out my sister and me were huddled around the computer absolutely mindblown that you could place things diagonally.
Sims 2 is pure fun, the sims are intelligent so their interactions feel real and are super interesting, the content is vast so you never run out of things to do. The sims look cartoonish but timeless at the same time. The random well written comedic pop ups, the npcs, the adventures, everything about it is iconic. And the game caters to all kinds of players, the realistic ones, the occult ones, the ones which just want to make havoc, every single style of gameplay can be accomplished in this game, with a bunch of packs that add to normal gameplay instead of being one-timers that get staled quickly. Sims 2 is superior
"intelligent" this literally happened to one of my sims >sims on fire >next to pool >burns to death i love TS2 but holy shit they deserve to die sometimes
Seriously. The core of that game is spectacular. I have a hard time finding mods for it but with a little modding and CC it would give it a fresh new look with awesome gameplay. I played it the other day just for fun (I was obsessed when I was 10) and couldn't believe how fun it is still. Way more addictive than the Sims 4 by a landslide. I have to download tons of mods just to make it half as good as the Sims 2.
I feel like sims 4 has all the building innovations but really took a step back as far as gameplay details though. Sims 2 is still the most detailed sims game ever as far as just some of the nuances of the sims. They just feel more human.
Completely agree. When Sims 3 came out, I pretty quickly went back to playing 2 because I liked the interactions that much better. I like four, but still am not a fan of the tiny neighborhoods, the overwhelming interactions wheel, and the fact that when I make a new house it's a whole new saved game.
Do agree with the first part, as someone who mostly plays live mode and pretty muchdidn't build in the last 3 installments the sims 4 is the one where I actually had fun building but also the first one where after playing live mode for a while i go..humm, i have nothing to do...Heck, i never ran into that problem before, not even with with TS1!!; Ts1 FFS!!!
@@isablondethng I'd love to play the sims 2 again but it's nearly impossible to play it now. You literally have to have a cd drive and the cds to play it. I wish they would release a digital download of it and all the dlc for like 20 bucks. I know they had it for free a couple years ago on Origin but that's long gone now.
@@McGriddle69 me too, though id love to play it for the first time. im a bit too young to have played it as a kid, especially since i didnt do much gaming until 2014 and even then only played the sims 3 on friends' computers
I strongly recommend boolprop SetQuarterTilePlacement on cheat! You press cntrl + F and you can place objects... Well, on quarter tile! It is more convenient than off-grid cheat and you can turn in off anytime
Sims 2 sims not only can get over a dirty plate, but also they can get eaten by flies in the process, beause if the room is too dirty, the stepping over is what triggers this death
I remember playing The Sims 2 on a crappy laptop with a ton of mods. I built this HUGE castle, and I mean HUGE, it also had a garden labyrinth, pools, beautiful garden, it was like 3 floors and also had towers, secret passages, all that stuff. But what I was really proud of were the Sleeping Beauty tower (just a beautiful vine-entangled tower with a chamber worthy of a princess) and the ballroom, obviously inspired by the Beauty and the Beast one, tall windows, a star-themed painting on the ceiling, all blues and golds and marble. Then my game crashed and when I opened it again the castle was no more. Because I didn't check the storage space on the laptop and if I had had, I'd have seen that there was not enough space to save the file. I still feel sad about it.
I'm watching the stream on her other channel (moresimsie) and it's so fun :) I'm sad it's so hard for her because she's used to TS4, but she seems to be having fun!
@@batvviing I know! I was so happy to get my sim at the top of her career and regretted it when I heard the helicopter! It scared me so much as a kid, more than burglars lmao
i started playing with sims 1! i remember playing sims 2 for the first time and being astonished with having so many options and so much freedom, both in building and in play. sims 2 still has a precious place in my heart, and watching this was a hilarious walk down memory lane
This was me. I played the ever-lovin' crap out of the Sims when I was a kid and a teen. And then The Sims 2 came out, and I was all kinds of impressed. It seriously took me a while to warm up to The Sims 3, because I never did like how round and blocky their heads were. And 4, well... I play it a lot. XD
@@AramatiPaz Mine would be there so long it would cost a fortune and they had to leave before they were finished because the day would end 😁My Sims would bring home Bigfoots from vacations and I'd have them move in as live in help or nannies and they would take care of the flowers! Lol The loop holes I had to come up with but I feel like that's what made Sims 2 so special 😊
furniture in the sims 2 somehow looks so much more realistic than in sims 4 even tho it all looks dated. i personally love building houses with dated furniture and i wish we had those domestic stuff
I remember being so angry when Sims 3 came out when they had exact copies of some of the Sims 2 furniture and build items.. Thought it was such a rip-off lol.
@@MrAronymous I see people do that a lot.. where they feel like "reused" assets are some horrible sin.. but it makes sense when it comes from a design standpoint and since it's furniture it's actually pretty nice. Like the person said here, I wish we had some of this dated furniture now. It's actually very realistic for people to have more beatup and dated furniture in their house.. not everyone has a pristine home full of brand new furniture. I think that's one reason I can't play Sims 4 but only build.. the fact the older games had much more personality even in the furniture.
I wish Sims4 would release an expansion pack that would include some decent stuff from Sims2. Call it something like „2000‘s nostalgia“ where you have stuff like wall phones and newspapers. And playable elements like bringing your Kids to school or get them into privat school… Thinge like that. This would be awsome.
started playing sims 2 when i was like 10-11 yrs old and now at 23 it’s still my favourite and preferred version to play. Love that story lines actually come to life without having to use my imagination as i do in sims 4🙄
We too started sims when we were 10. I was 13 when sims 2 was released and we were in AWE. PC just wasn't ready for it. 🤣 Sims took 1 hour to load. It was a blast
I lowkey hate them tho... I’m not good at building and roofing, but I like the idea of having control on how my build looks like completely. It’s pretty confusing in the sims 2 because I would build a diagonal tile and somehow the roof won’t cover that. 😭
No, I miss auto-roofing so much! I find making funky shaped houses in the Sims 4 soooo difficult. And placing your own lots!! What I wouldn't give to place lots in Sims 4 (also proper plant sims).
I started playing sims when my daughter did, and shes 26, a little older than you, I'm still playing and i,m 61. Love sims4, but sims2 was a scream....best version
Oh god I know, the accessibility to SSDs is something we take for granted so much now HDDs were truly that awful, I also remember waiting for 10 minutes and getting food waiting for my game to load like it was an intermission 💀 times were so different
You actually can place the little bunny inside the baby's crib if I remember correctly, and you had to apply and impress a sims to get your kids to private schools, phone noises would wake up everybody and you only had 3 job offers in the newspaper per day... The good old days :)
@@H_sgl i think sims 4 is more specialized in building, i have "switched" from sims 2 to sims 4 and find that sims 4 is really exhausting to play. Especially the pets are no fun at all. But maybe i´m also too stupid to understand the game :D
I really think the story line in the Sins 2 is the best. The Monty vs Capp. The love story and war in the families. The curious family was really neat with their alien babies. Definitely the best stories
Watching Kayla struggle in the Sims 2 is almost exactly the same as me learning how to build in the Sims 4 when I was used to Sims 2 build mode. Edit: A lot of the fun playground stuff came with Free Time, iirc. Also I miss having cribs and changing tables.
I was so confused when I first played the sims 4 and couldn’t find a burglar alarm. And the first time a fire started the fire department didn’t show up right away and I couldn’t call them??
@@kalekaela the fire department part confused me too. I watched one of CallMeKevin's Sims 4 videos and the house was on fire and he kept trying to press the phone to call the fire department but it kept telling him he couldn't use it. I assumed it was a bug until I got the game myself and found out they just didn't have fire fighters period.
Sunny Bird short life span sounds awful I couldn’t even deal with long cause I didn’t want them to age up that quick. I just turned aging off and it’s perfect
@@skyydancer67 You're kidding right? You don't need mods to hit Elated every 3-4 days. It's so easy you begin to reflect on the difficultiy of you your own life in comparison.
i played this so much in the mid 2000s... that's my teen years contained in a single game. there's a special, nostalgic charm to the sims 2. definitely a product of its time
Growing up playing The Sims 1 and 2 and having to deal with how difficult it was is why I struggled so much with 3 and 4 (mostly 4), they're just so easy that I get bored really quickly now haha.
I remember that in Sims 2, did I create a family with 4 sims in it and I had a pool there with no ladders and when I started did I also need to go and eat dinner, so I thought for myself "Yeah, they can get up from there" and when I came back did it say "Everyone in your household is dead, please create another family or choose an already existing one in the world", so I said loud "What the hell!" beacause my brain was so into Sims 3 there they could get up from the pools without ladders 😂
I was crying when you tried to delete everything with the hammer. You know, the controls are still the same, with control & shift 😂😂 But in my opinion, the ability to put lots whereever you like, the items etc... It makes Sims 2 superior. It was the game of my childhood and I still like to play it.
I always forget I grew up on sims 1 and 2, and then I see Kayla place Sims 2 landscaping and think “this is why I don’t landscape or build foundations out of a 17 years habit”
I think you’re right! I HATE land scaping in sims 4! Also I always wonder why I’m so serious in sims 4 with how pretty the builds are. Watching this reminds me of how much more fun and goofy builds were in sims 1/2
This is so nostalgic! My best friend was amazing at building in The Sims 2 (AND TS1. Yep. Terrifyingly good), and I struggle making the most basic houses to this day, with all TS4 has. Watching this video felt like the first time your building experience was relatable 😂 For real, though, this game was so much fun. I'm also more of a The Sims 3 girl (it came out when I was a teenager), but I still miss how good the lore was, the complex characters and relationships, and so on. TS2: storytelling TS3: world exploration TS4: creating sims
I was talking about those serial codes that you had to put in for pc with my brother and he had no idea what I was talking about so clearly I’m 23 and have one foot in the grave
That's a pretty American thing, though. Here in Germany, pretty much every household still has a landline, since most internet plans come with landline services included for free.
I’ve literally played ALL the sims games, from The Sims and onward. This one brought back some memories. I remember giggling the first time I saw a toddler sim because I had just upgraded and was in college. It’s sad I can’t get any of the old games to work on my Mac lol.
It’s so funny cause it’s the opposite for me! I literally grew up on sims2 and know everything about it. So for me Sims2’s gameplay / buildmode are sooooo much easier than in Sims4! It took me so long to get accustomed to how evolved Sims4 is xD
Ahh I miss auto-roof so much! Roofs in the Sims 4 are so versatile but I'm so had at them and I just want the game to do it for me so I can be done with it!
I always think this when I watch her apartment builds! It's a little annoying that you can't edit it when Sims are living there, but still doesn't seem too hard to figure out.
@@sascha_maxine Oh yep! I wonder if you can even call it a cheat if the game was designed for you to use it... you build the whole thing, change the lot zoning (from residential to apartment), and then it works!
@@peachforce i still remember the like 6 pages of text I wrote all with several codes, hotkeys and other stuff for sims 2... there where so many opportunities, like unlock all those stuff in cas, creating your own world, editing the entire world, letting your sim fall in love while the other one doesn't.... Sometimes I miss those thing in sims 4
OOF YES! I didn’t have the crush situation but I was living at my aunts house when I was like 8 and I thought it was always funny to pick up her landline phone and yell into the void because it would echo back. One time I picked it up and yelled into it and my uncle was trying to have a conversation with my other aunt on the other end. I will never live that down 🤦🏼♀️😂
Also remember when we actually had a lot of people's phone numbers memorized? I've been with my partner for a year and a half now and I have no idea what his phone number is xD
@@emilystevens7033 omgsh wow I seriously don't remember my own home phone number from back in the day (well my parent's one) but I still remember my best friend's home phone number haha. Also bless my parents for keeping the same cell numbers for last... what 19.. 18 years? So those actually come in handy from time to time!
@@emilystevens7033 I don't clearly remember mine from when I was a kid (it changed so I half remember both lol, though I know my parents and don't know our current landline). I do still remember my Grandma's though from when I was little because whenever she answered she'd start the call with what the phone number was (since people used to get wrong numbers a lot). So like "674415" is just seared into my brain forever now (spoken like "six, seven, double four, one, five"). Like I don't need to remember the number, it changed since then and she's dead now anyway. But my brain still remembers.
I played the Sims 2 (I started with the first game when that was all there was, no expansions lol) and I think the most painful part was you looking for a house to knock down when you can place empty lots basically wherever you want XD
@@dids3384 They can't be, on account of people born in 2000 are still babies, so people born later can't be any older either. I don't make the rules. Its just the way it is.
Sims 2 just feels like the gameplay is so much more developed than the Sims 4. Looking back there's a bunch of mechanics like the alarm and phone that feel like they've been changed to play more like a mobile game in Sims 4.
@@alicethegreat8208 unfortunately that’s exactly what happened. Sims 4 was built on the code for a multiplayer quick play game rather than a proper sims game. Budget cuts or Idk what caused them to use that engine to build sims 4 giving us so many limitations
Sometimes they even intentionally path-find through the small object as if they wanted to show that off. I used to have a toy car outside on one lot and they almost always path finded to it just to step over it when coming back from work
“In the olden days” of Sims 2 meanwhile I was bewildered at how amazing the Sims 2 was when it came out vs. playing Sims 1 Kayla talking about land lines “I’m not that old, nether are you” GURL! I’m 28 😭😭
In Sims 2, if you had a baby, it got to GROW UP! And you no longer needed a stay-at-home spouse whose job was to make friends and keep them so you could get promotions, because relationships were hard and you'd need like 20 close friends. Sims 1 was HARD.
@@ShadoeLandman No it didn't. It spawned in a weird place where your sims couldn't reach it, so it got taken away due to neglect and then your sim got depressed, died, then their partner died of grief. I honestly gave up after that and just turned to creating ghosts that could swim through carpets. (Drown them, wait for their ghost to appear, remove the pool, build the house on top, ghosts swam through the house!) That and making graveyards next to gothic houses. Granted making the graveyards did tend to make any sims you moved into the house die of grief for sims they'd never met, but it did help with expanding the graveyard so it was kind of a lose/win situation.
@@ShadoeLandman It was my first time playing so I didn't know what to do. It would have worked out fine if the parents hadn't got upset about it. I was wanting them to woohoo, but not have a kid.
It’s crazy hearing it from your perspective because I always believed Sims 2 was easier. Grew up playing it & once Sims incorporated moods & moodlets it became harder. Especially having to accomplish tasks while in a certain mood 🥴
Couple of thoughts. I remember when my dad brought us sims 2 (four CDs), obviously pirated as all of the games were at that time in eastern europe. Our PC was too weak for that game so dad had to make some upgrades too. What you guys never felt was the HUGE jump from sims 1 and their emotionless faces, small scale of vision, to sims 2 where a child could get its parents features. It was something amazing! Plus i noticed this funny thing - im the exact opposite with my skills for the sims. Like, being rased by tiles and all, i now struggle with sims 4 because it feels like too many options to be able to put anything you want, anywhere you want. Its overwhelming! I used to build a square house, click automatic roof and thats all. Now i gotta figure how to make it look nice, otherwise it feels goofy to play.
I haven’t played the Sims 2 in ages and I got major nostalgia watching this video. I was smiling all along the video, having flashbacks of when I was playing as a teenager. This made my heart all fuzzy. I love watching your videos, simsie, and this one made me really happy. Thank you for this amazing trip down memory lane ❤️
Impossible, There was not an option to choose certain packs. It all went into one master catalogue. Kayla would have to have photos of every single item in in all 7 Expansion Packs.
Low key happy I was born in the 90s and played the Sims 1 and 2! Was so awesome to grow up playing the games from 1-4. I’m 30 now and been playing since I was 9/10. Wild how this game has stayed with me.
As someone who was obsessed with the Sims 2 all through high school and beyond....the Sims 2 building engine is waaaaaay easier. After playing all of the Sims, and currently more into Sims 4, The Sims 2 is still my preferred Sims game all these years later. Even the soundtrack is boss.
this makes ME so nostalgic, even tho im only a few years older than simsie. my older sister played so much sims 2 and when she deemed me worthy enough i would also be allowed to play the sims at like the age of 6. i really do miss playing with cars in the sims u_u
4:36 This is actually not a function that old Simmers actually use back in the day since most of us were accustomed to constant use of floor and wall tool to add/delete floor and wall. It's a type of interaction that dated back since The Sims 1. The hammer is a new tool introduced in The Sims 2 and usually is used for selling multiple items.
its 2022 and I still play the sims 2, it heals something inside of my brain it feels like lol. I am in need of some expansion packs if anyone wants to send them my way.If you grew up on Sims 2 you would feel the opposite about the building and the game play. Going from 2 to 3 was horrible for most of us lol. You need a lot of cheats to realllllly be successful in Sims 2.
I played TS2 every morning before intermediate school and watching this video I was smiling the whole time.. lol You really brought back some great simming memories of the olden days.. haha!
I had a glicth in the game where newspaper would randomly spawn at my lawn, filling up my whole property D: The paper would casually float in the air and lie down on my lawn...how fun it was when I noticed it bit too late and had to delete all that rotten newspaper xD
Man i love how sims 2 and 3 really put love and effort on the Detail in the game like Cars and Customize the town like u can go anywhere in the place u live in.. its just soo amazing, dont get me wrong i love sims 4 too its just more easier, but Sims 2 & 3 Really gives u the challenges man it makes u thinks and thats whats fun about it.
I´m 27 and it doesn´t make me feel old. More like I know some super secret Simsie does not :D :D I used to play the Sims 2 all the time. I LOVED Seasons and Nightlife!!
The Sims 2 came out when I was 22 and living on my own for the first time. I hated getting up early, so I got myself to get up even earlier so I could play TS2 before my lame temp job. Those were the days. Fun to watch you play and compare some of the things to what we have today.
I first started playing Sims 2 (well, actually Life Stories) in 2009. I found out the hard way that the smoke detector wasn't just for looks and that it was a good idea to add one...and Sims doing the panic dance didn't help.
@@sophicarne omg I had the same thought. As a veteran player, this is a MUST near any appliance such as a stove. So many house fires have been caused by amateur cooking hour at home. 🤦
I was playing Sims 2 when I was pregnant with my daughter. She's 14 now and we play Sims4 by this day This takes me back. I remember those roofs were a pain to add on.
dude i ADORE sims 2, i was too young to have played it and if i did i don’t remember it, but its just sooo cute and charming, i was playing a couple and one of my sims was showering and the other used the restroom and when she flushed her girlfriend ran out of the shower and yelled at her bc the flushing made her shower super hot, and them grabbing the cooking utensils out of the cabinets !! just the little touches are what i love soo much
dude the baby and toddler stuff is out of this world - and the backyard stuff for your kid is awesome i only played the sims 3 growing now 4 obvi, but i wish we could have sims 2 stuff in sims 4 - like i just find it far more better looking and its awesome
I loved watching this. As an OG (34 years old 😒, played Sims 1 and Sim Town) this was so entertaining. Glad to know the new ones find the struggle real too lol.
Landlines are super common in the uk, every person I know has a home phone in Scotland. It’s so weird to me to think no one has one anymore in America ahaha
you have a home phone? i'm in the uk and i recently got my first house, saw NO point in getting in landline. I have a mobile phone so literally what's the point
@@madisonrussell5352 I'm 50 and I haven't had a landline in many years. No reason to pay for extra phone numbers when I don't want to talk to anyone anyway.
Dudee!! This is sooo nostalgic. I remember getting pissied by the flowers of my garden. Cuz in the sims 2 the bushes grew up, and you had to trim everything. I miss the car gameplay and the helicoperter coming to your house to get you to work.
*The build cheats you need :* setquartertileplacement on (and you need to ctrl + f in construction) -> better to place objects in the middle of two tiles. boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true boolprop snapobjectstogrid off/on moveobjects on :D
That took me back - I was a teenager with S1 came out and I've played all of them over the years but its been FOREVER since I've picked up any of the older ones. Lots of fun to watch. Thank you for making my day better while I sit on my couch and wait for my face to stop being numb from my dental procedure!
I discovered The Sims in 2001 when Livin' Large came out and fell in love. I moved onto every Sims except 3. When 3 came out I felt like it was missing a lot of things I had in The Sims 2 with all the expansions, plus I thought the faces were able to be customized better in The Sims 2 and I loved the personalities, aspirations and interests better. So I skipped all of The Sims 3 and played The Sims 2 until The Sims 4 came to console and I fell in love all over again. It's nice to reminisce on Sims 2 content.
Sims 2 is fascinating. I kinda miss its greenhouses, ability to actually buy something in grocery stores, ability to _buy_ animals, those fancy private school dinners, and, gosh, WITCHES. Also I can remember some building videos: guys used landscaping to form a building off-grid. Magic.
I miss how TS2 sims had actual personalities imbedded in the gameplay
The greenhouses were my FAVORITE.
@@mwahha6965 There was so much personality in Sims 2 and 3.. there's none in 4.. you have to create it all yourself.. Sims 4 is too much of a sandbox for me. I love building on it, but I can't actually play.. even with mods trying to add more to the gameplay it doesn't do enough..
I still play it so you can play it if you miss it???
having to buy clothes!!!
I started playing sims 2 when I was like 5 and I have this distinct memory of throwing my sim a birthday party in the dark, wallpaperless box that she lived in and only being able to afford a single balloon which popped a couple hours in. No one came and my sims later died of starvation. Happy memories.
the died of starvation caught me off guard lmaoo
@@user-bd6hn HAHAHAHAHA same though
My brother had the sims 2 or sims 3 when I was probably around the age of 6 and he used to let me play sometimes and I could never get my sim to stay alive as they would always die from starvation
seriously when my friends and I were like 7 we would play the Sims 2 together and we were awful sometimes to the sims, once we locked a man in a bathroom with just a soda can and pictures of food on the wall until he died... it was definitely a fun memory I have, but now my friends and I look back at it and laugh
That literally sounds like my life now 😂
“The olden days” 💀. I vividly remember making my mom take me to Walmart the day the Sims2 came out and then staying up all night playing because it was just too amazing to stop.
The progression from the original Sims to the Sims2 is still the best of the franchise. I don’t know how we ever fell in love with the Sims playing the original because it was stressful lol
Amen. The progression from Sims 1 to Sims 2 was ... surreal. It was mind-boggling how much freedom you suddenly had, yet the gameplay was still so familiar. I never got quite as much into Sims 3 and 4, but Sims 2 will definitely retain a special place in my heart.
I remember when I first played the sims 2 after playing sims 1 it seemed like such an upgrade! I could not believe how amazing the graphics seemed back then lol
It's the music. Sims 1 soundtrack was soooo good!
I remember the first time I saw The Sims - my friend showed me the Livin Large expansion pack and said he had been working on this family for a long time. And I was thinking, they only have 60K.... Little did I know....
Me sitting here having started with the Sims 1, and I remember when the Sims 2 came out my sister and me were huddled around the computer absolutely mindblown that you could place things diagonally.
I was stunned that they resembled people.
I was so excited to see that kids actually grew up in the Sim 2! Sims 1 had excellent game play, but having generations was a huge game changer.
It was the aging, death, and family trees for me honey. Generational gameplay with storytelling, albums and custom lore? Mwah!
omg same

i love TS2 but holy shit they deserve to die sometimes
COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MY FRIEND!!!!
Seriously. The core of that game is spectacular. I have a hard time finding mods for it but with a little modding and CC it would give it a fresh new look with awesome gameplay. I played it the other day just for fun (I was obsessed when I was 10) and couldn't believe how fun it is still. Way more addictive than the Sims 4 by a landslide. I have to download tons of mods just to make it half as good as the Sims 2.
I feel like sims 4 has all the building innovations but really took a step back as far as gameplay details though. Sims 2 is still the most detailed sims game ever as far as just some of the nuances of the sims. They just feel more human.
Completely agree. When Sims 3 came out, I pretty quickly went back to playing 2 because I liked the interactions that much better. I like four, but still am not a fan of the tiny neighborhoods, the overwhelming interactions wheel, and the fact that when I make a new house it's a whole new saved game.
Do agree with the first part, as someone who mostly plays live mode and pretty muchdidn't build in the last 3 installments the sims 4 is the one where I actually had fun building but also the first one where after playing live mode for a while i go..humm, i have nothing to do...Heck, i never ran into that problem before, not even with with TS1!!; Ts1 FFS!!!
@@isablondethng I'd love to play the sims 2 again but it's nearly impossible to play it now. You literally have to have a cd drive and the cds to play it. I wish they would release a digital download of it and all the dlc for like 20 bucks. I know they had it for free a couple years ago on Origin but that's long gone now.
@@McGriddle69 me too, though id love to play it for the first time. im a bit too young to have played it as a kid, especially since i didnt do much gaming until 2014 and even then only played the sims 3 on friends' computers

I played the Sims 2 for almost 13 years and had no idea there were move objects cheats. I’m screaming.
ME TOO omg I think I played the sims 2 the most. I only had the base game and no chests, except for mother lode.
I strongly recommend boolprop SetQuarterTilePlacement on cheat! You press cntrl + F and you can place objects... Well, on quarter tile! It is more convenient than off-grid cheat and you can turn in off anytime

Honestly where is the respect
I grew up playing sims 1 & 2, watching her struggle is quite funny. Wish we had sims 2 gameplay with sims 4 build mode
Listen up TO THIS, EA. Gameplay used to be so rich, I miss Sims 2 storylines and features so much.
Especially those cribs and CHANGING TABLES!
yes! THIS
Only if they add cars and garages plus round pools - I’d be down for this idea
Add the colour wheel from sims 3 and you got yourself a near perfect game
“Oh this hallway is a waste of space”
-flashbacks to when sims would be unable to walk past a plate left on the floor-
“Oh no it’s not.”
I thought that was sims 1 not 2 ?
No. Pretty sure in Sims 2 Sims can walk past that. Sims can step through small objects like kid's toys
That’s actually sims 4 to you. Sims 2 sims can skip over any small object. Ha!
Sims 2 sims not only can get over a dirty plate, but also they can get eaten by flies in the process, beause if the room is too dirty, the stepping over is what triggers this death

I remember playing The Sims 2 on a crappy laptop with a ton of mods. I built this HUGE castle, and I mean HUGE, it also had a garden labyrinth, pools, beautiful garden, it was like 3 floors and also had towers, secret passages, all that stuff. But what I was really proud of were the Sleeping Beauty tower (just a beautiful vine-entangled tower with a chamber worthy of a princess) and the ballroom, obviously inspired by the Beauty and the Beast one, tall windows, a star-themed painting on the ceiling, all blues and golds and marble.
Then my game crashed and when I opened it again the castle was no more. Because I didn't check the storage space on the laptop and if I had had, I'd have seen that there was not enough space to save the file. I still feel sad about it.
Oh my god the pain of this is so real
@@AriaLouisa I still get sad about it every once in a while :/

i knew the top comment was gonna be someone who played the sims 2
i started playing with sims 1! i remember playing sims 2 for the first time and being astonished with having so many options and so much freedom, both in building and in play. sims 2 still has a precious place in my heart, and watching this was a hilarious walk down memory lane
This was me. I played the ever-lovin' crap out of the Sims when I was a kid and a teen. And then The Sims 2 came out, and I was all kinds of impressed. It seriously took me a while to warm up to The Sims 3, because I never did like how round and blocky their heads were. And 4, well... I play it a lot. XD
The Sims had that bougie gold bath tub that you can fill with milk and mud.. I cannot get over that, I think about it ALOT.
Me too. I remember playing the tutorial like 😮😮😮 A huge leap forward. Still one of my favorite games. Never went back to Sims 1. I did go back to TS2.
I remember missing the maid bot from the 1 (Deluxe Edition).
Later I got the ts2 ultimate and now we have the robot dude.
You should try and build the same building in the sims 1 then 2 then 3 and so on. I think it would be interesting to see all of the differences

Landscaping in the Sims 2 used to stress me out so much because you actually had to maintain the plants. RIP to all of the flowers I killed :(
Just hire a gardener.
@@AramatiPaz You misunderstand. I was 7 years old lol.
Oh, You've just reminded me about another one pretty feature in the Sims 2 that has lost in the Sims 3... Gardening was nise.
@@AramatiPaz Mine would be there so long it would cost a fortune and they had to leave before they were finished because the day would end 😁My Sims would bring home Bigfoots from vacations and I'd have them move in as live in help or nannies and they would take care of the flowers! Lol The loop holes I had to come up with but I feel like that's what made Sims 2 so special 😊
furniture in the sims 2 somehow looks so much more realistic than in sims 4 even tho it all looks dated. i personally love building houses with dated furniture and i wish we had those domestic stuff
I remember being so angry when Sims 3 came out when they had exact copies of some of the Sims 2 furniture and build items.. Thought it was such a rip-off lol.
@@MrAronymous I see people do that a lot.. where they feel like "reused" assets are some horrible sin.. but it makes sense when it comes from a design standpoint and since it's furniture it's actually pretty nice. Like the person said here, I wish we had some of this dated furniture now. It's actually very realistic for people to have more beatup and dated furniture in their house.. not everyone has a pristine home full of brand new furniture. I think that's one reason I can't play Sims 4 but only build.. the fact the older games had much more personality even in the furniture.
It's not over-designed like the stuff we have in The Sims 4.

I wish Sims4 would release an expansion pack that would include some decent stuff from Sims2.
Call it something like „2000‘s nostalgia“ where you have stuff like wall phones and newspapers. And playable elements like bringing your Kids to school or get them into privat school… Thinge like that.
This would be awsome.
They’d probs find a way to make it boring and useless unfortunately 😅
started playing sims 2 when i was like 10-11 yrs old and now at 23 it’s still my favourite and preferred version to play. Love that story lines actually come to life without having to use my imagination as i do in sims 4🙄
We too started sims when we were 10. I was 13 when sims 2 was released and we were in AWE. PC just wasn't ready for it. 🤣 Sims took 1 hour to load. It was a blast
yes!!! i miss the family stories
Me too. Used to play with my friend on ps2. I'm 24 now.
The Sims 2 auto roofs are probably the feature I miss the most in Sims 4
Same tho!
I think the creators of all the EA homes miss them too LMAO
Yea, I cannot build a decent roof without the auto roofs' help from the sims 2 or sims 3 lol T_T
I lowkey hate them tho... I’m not good at building and roofing, but I like the idea of having control on how my build looks like completely. It’s pretty confusing in the sims 2 because I would build a diagonal tile and somehow the roof won’t cover that. 😭
They were also in the sims 3 too
No, I miss auto-roofing so much! I find making funky shaped houses in the Sims 4 soooo difficult. And placing your own lots!! What I wouldn't give to place lots in Sims 4 (also proper plant sims).
I'm building my 2nd floor as money came, without auto roof I'd be screwed
I started playing sims when my daughter did, and shes 26, a little older than you, I'm still playing and i,m 61. Love sims4, but sims2 was a scream....best version
Bless you, man!
Definitely is the best version. Everything felt so real and much more enjoyable ..
YES! Sims 2 forever! 😂
I bought the sims 4 last year and I play it every day.I have it on my console and my computer and I LOVE it!Ill defenelatly buy ts3 and ts2.

Yeah right
"Build mode is a tragedy" was what i heard as soon as I saw this comment
So true😭😭😭
“Your Sims are miserable all the time; money is hard to come by…” lol I forgot how realistic Sims 2 was
Get a cat and sent it to work
What if we had a throwback kit with newspapers and landlines and stuff like that.
Lol! With an old school MP3 player. That will be cool!!
I tried playing the sims 3 and the newspapers were so annoying. It also bugged me how outdated everything was and looked
That would be a really cool concept.
And special channels you could only unlock on the tv by checking the TV guide in the newspaper
@@aspenisthebest you can cancel the newspaper on the phone
Kayla: This room behind the garage can be a laundry/bathroom.
Also Kayla: Seamlessly makes the room behind the garage a nursery
Can we talk about how quickly her game loaded? I used to wait for what felt like 20 minutes just to load my house 😂
you cant compare the pc standard almost 20 years ago..pc nowadays are way faster than last time ..
Cuts?
Oh god I know, the accessibility to SSDs is something we take for granted so much now
HDDs were truly that awful, I also remember waiting for 10 minutes and getting food waiting for my game to load like it was an intermission 💀 times were so different
Old PCs 😅
Thats a redflag of your setup, Miss
You actually can place the little bunny inside the baby's crib if I remember correctly, and you had to apply and impress a sims to get your kids to private schools, phone noises would wake up everybody and you only had 3 job offers in the newspaper per day... The good old days :)

i think sims 4 is more specialized in building, i have "switched" from sims 2 to sims 4 and find that sims 4 is really exhausting to play. Especially the pets are no fun at all. But maybe i´m also too stupid to understand the game :D
Kayla: *does her zigzag wall thingy*
Me, a veteran Sims 2 player, knowing about roofs: honey, you've got a big storm coming
When I played Sims 2, I never build a roof. Why should I, I was used to flat roofs.
I thought the same thing 😂😂
I really think the story line in the Sins 2 is the best. The Monty vs Capp. The love story and war in the families. The curious family was really neat with their alien babies. Definitely the best stories
Watching Kayla struggle in the Sims 2 is almost exactly the same as me learning how to build in the Sims 4 when I was used to Sims 2 build mode.
Edit: A lot of the fun playground stuff came with Free Time, iirc. Also I miss having cribs and changing tables.
the sims 2 has the absolute best babies
I still struggle trying to understand The Sims 4's build mode.
I was so confused when I first played the sims 4 and couldn’t find a burglar alarm. And the first time a fire started the fire department didn’t show up right away and I couldn’t call them??
@@kalekaela the fire department part confused me too. I watched one of CallMeKevin's Sims 4 videos and the house was on fire and he kept trying to press the phone to call the fire department but it kept telling him he couldn't use it. I assumed it was a bug until I got the game myself and found out they just didn't have fire fighters period.
Simsie: it’s not hard to take care of your sims’ needs in the Sims 4
Also simsie: barely copes with that in her let’s play
To be fair it's short lifespan and trying to do anything is stressful.
@@eveescastle5866 idk I never have such problems even in short life-span. My sims are constantly happy and the game gets boring 😂😂

@@skyydancer67 You're kidding right? You don't need mods to hit Elated every 3-4 days. It's so easy you begin to reflect on the difficultiy of you your own life in comparison.
i played this so much in the mid 2000s... that's my teen years contained in a single game. there's a special, nostalgic charm to the sims 2. definitely a product of its time
Growing up playing The Sims 1 and 2 and having to deal with how difficult it was is why I struggled so much with 3 and 4 (mostly 4), they're just so easy that I get bored really quickly now haha.
This lol like I’ll build a house in TS4 and be like ok I guess I’m done playing now?
Same here! That’s Bec we grew up with Sims 1…hahaha
It was such a disappointment when sims learned how to get out of pools without ladders.
I remember that in Sims 2, did I create a family with 4 sims in it and I had a pool there with no ladders and when I started did I also need to go and eat dinner, so I thought for myself "Yeah, they can get up from there" and when I came back did it say "Everyone in your household is dead, please create another family or choose an already existing one in the world", so I said loud "What the hell!" beacause my brain was so into Sims 3 there they could get up from the pools without ladders 😂
And yet there’s a charity in the Sims 3 called Pools Without Ladders. Clearly there’s a story here.
It such a fun and easy way to kill off your sims.. that and putting them in a room with a fireplace and a chair then removing the door
I was crying when you tried to delete everything with the hammer. You know, the controls are still the same, with control & shift 😂😂
But in my opinion, the ability to put lots whereever you like, the items etc... It makes Sims 2 superior. It was the game of my childhood and I still like to play it.
i remember playing sims 2 as a kid on our computer in the living room.. and the first time woohoo animation came up and my mother was like 😳
Did she ever find out about the, heheh, adult mods?
I always forget I grew up on sims 1 and 2, and then I see Kayla place Sims 2 landscaping and think “this is why I don’t landscape or build foundations out of a 17 years habit”
Omg literally
Ok sims 1 I can understand but in sims 2
I think you’re right! I HATE land scaping in sims 4! Also I always wonder why I’m so serious in sims 4 with how pretty the builds are. Watching this reminds me of how much more fun and goofy builds were in sims 1/2
Yesss same here!!!! 😂😂
Me too!!
This is so nostalgic! My best friend was amazing at building in The Sims 2 (AND TS1. Yep. Terrifyingly good), and I struggle making the most basic houses to this day, with all TS4 has. Watching this video felt like the first time your building experience was relatable 😂
For real, though, this game was so much fun. I'm also more of a The Sims 3 girl (it came out when I was a teenager), but I still miss how good the lore was, the complex characters and relationships, and so on.
TS2: storytelling
TS3: world exploration
TS4: creating sims
remembering that theres a whole generation of kids that don't know what landlines are really make my 19 yr old brain feel like its 80
Same 😂😂😂
I felt my gray hairs sprout when she said that
how should i feel? i'm turning 30 in less than a month >
I was talking about those serial codes that you had to put in for pc with my brother and he had no idea what I was talking about so clearly I’m 23 and have one foot in the grave
That's a pretty American thing, though. Here in Germany, pretty much every household still has a landline, since most internet plans come with landline services included for free.
I’ve literally played ALL the sims games, from The Sims and onward. This one brought back some memories. I remember giggling the first time I saw a toddler sim because I had just upgraded and was in college. It’s sad I can’t get any of the old games to work on my Mac lol.
It’s so funny cause it’s the opposite for me! I literally grew up on sims2 and know everything about it. So for me Sims2’s gameplay / buildmode are sooooo much easier than in Sims4! It took me so long to get accustomed to how evolved Sims4 is xD
I love Kayla’s reactions when she’s trying to figure out how the roof works 😂
It was literally brave of her to mess with those tools. For most, the auto roof is the go-to but she kinda nailed it on her own haha
'you need to do it in sections to stop it from switching directions' **is using the wrong tool** 😂😂
OMG stitch is literally on my shirt also I’m surprise no one has replied to the saying I’m pretty sure her name is Kelly
her names kayak. get it right
Ahh I miss auto-roof so much! Roofs in the Sims 4 are so versatile but I'm so had at them and I just want the game to do it for me so I can be done with it!
someone tell her about how you can even build a whole functional apartment with the sims 2
I always think this when I watch her apartment builds! It's a little annoying that you can't edit it when Sims are living there, but still doesn't seem too hard to figure out.
With cheats even whole apartment buildings with several Apartments if i remember it correctly
@@sascha_maxine Oh yep! I wonder if you can even call it a cheat if the game was designed for you to use it... you build the whole thing, change the lot zoning (from residential to apartment), and then it works!
@@peachforce i still remember the like 6 pages of text I wrote all with several codes, hotkeys and other stuff for sims 2... there where so many opportunities, like unlock all those stuff in cas, creating your own world, editing the entire world, letting your sim fall in love while the other one doesn't....
Sometimes I miss those thing in sims 4
@@sascha_maxine the last one is a thing ???!!!! your sim can actually crush on another sim ??!
the changing table in sims 2 was seriously underrated... I want more things in sims 4 for babies, toddlers, and kids
Kayla saying we aren't that old but in reality, I remember landlines and the anxiety you had when a crush would call you and your family would answer.
OOF YES! I didn’t have the crush situation but I was living at my aunts house when I was like 8 and I thought it was always funny to pick up her landline phone and yell into the void because it would echo back. One time I picked it up and yelled into it and my uncle was trying to have a conversation with my other aunt on the other end. I will never live that down 🤦🏼♀️😂
Also remember when we actually had a lot of people's phone numbers memorized? I've been with my partner for a year and a half now and I have no idea what his phone number is xD
@@alicjamarie4180 must be why I still remember my old land lines phone number 🤣🤣🤣
@@emilystevens7033 omgsh wow I seriously don't remember my own home phone number from back in the day (well my parent's one) but I still remember my best friend's home phone number haha. Also bless my parents for keeping the same cell numbers for last... what 19.. 18 years? So those actually come in handy from time to time!
@@emilystevens7033 I don't clearly remember mine from when I was a kid (it changed so I half remember both lol, though I know my parents and don't know our current landline). I do still remember my Grandma's though from when I was little because whenever she answered she'd start the call with what the phone number was (since people used to get wrong numbers a lot). So like "674415" is just seared into my brain forever now (spoken like "six, seven, double four, one, five"). Like I don't need to remember the number, it changed since then and she's dead now anyway. But my brain still remembers.
I miss landlines from Sims 2. Something about having to rush your sim to answer their phone was just fun
I played the Sims 2 (I started with the first game when that was all there was, no expansions lol) and I think the most painful part was you looking for a house to knock down when you can place empty lots basically wherever you want XD
When Kayla said that the Sims 4 came out in 2014, my jaw dropped. I - I’m sorry it’s been 7 YEARS? I remember when it came out and now I feel weird 😳
PEOPLE BORN IN 2014 ARE SEVEN????? I FEEL OLD
Excuse me huh
@@dids3384 They can't be, on account of people born in 2000 are still babies, so people born later can't be any older either. I don't make the rules. Its just the way it is.

I still find it weird that it's that old and has had no sequel announcement. I'm wondering how long EA Maxis will milk that game.
About sims being smarter: in the sims 2 they can actually step over small objects rather than getting trapped lol
Sims 2 just feels like the gameplay is so much more developed than the Sims 4. Looking back there's a bunch of mechanics like the alarm and phone that feel like they've been changed to play more like a mobile game in Sims 4.
@@alicethegreat8208 unfortunately that’s exactly what happened. Sims 4 was built on the code for a multiplayer quick play game rather than a proper sims game. Budget cuts or Idk what caused them to use that engine to build sims 4 giving us so many limitations
Sometimes they even intentionally path-find through the small object as if they wanted to show that off. I used to have a toy car outside on one lot and they almost always path finded to it just to step over it when coming back from work
@@vedantdesai1 Is it really? Last time I heard it was built using the SimCity 2013 engine.
Sims 2 was my first Sims and it was so much fun. The gameplay was top tier, truly.
“In the olden days” of Sims 2 meanwhile I was bewildered at how amazing the Sims 2 was when it came out vs. playing Sims 1
Kayla talking about land lines “I’m not that old, nether are you” GURL! I’m 28 😭😭
Girl I'm 30, I remember the tombstone of life and death cheat, that was so amazing in sims 2! Lol
In Sims 2, if you had a baby, it got to GROW UP! And you no longer needed a stay-at-home spouse whose job was to make friends and keep them so you could get promotions, because relationships were hard and you'd need like 20 close friends. Sims 1 was HARD.
@@ShadoeLandman No it didn't. It spawned in a weird place where your sims couldn't reach it, so it got taken away due to neglect and then your sim got depressed, died, then their partner died of grief.
I honestly gave up after that and just turned to creating ghosts that could swim through carpets. (Drown them, wait for their ghost to appear, remove the pool, build the house on top, ghosts swam through the house!) That and making graveyards next to gothic houses. Granted making the graveyards did tend to make any sims you moved into the house die of grief for sims they'd never met, but it did help with expanding the graveyard so it was kind of a lose/win situation.
@@AlexaFaie You had to get them unstuck then. One time I had to burn a room down and kill a nanny to get the baby.
@@ShadoeLandman It was my first time playing so I didn't know what to do. It would have worked out fine if the parents hadn't got upset about it. I was wanting them to woohoo, but not have a kid.
It’s crazy hearing it from your perspective because I always believed Sims 2 was easier. Grew up playing it & once Sims incorporated moods & moodlets it became harder. Especially having to accomplish tasks while in a certain mood 🥴
Couple of thoughts. I remember when my dad brought us sims 2 (four CDs), obviously pirated as all of the games were at that time in eastern europe. Our PC was too weak for that game so dad had to make some upgrades too. What you guys never felt was the HUGE jump from sims 1 and their emotionless faces, small scale of vision, to sims 2 where a child could get its parents features. It was something amazing! Plus i noticed this funny thing - im the exact opposite with my skills for the sims. Like, being rased by tiles and all, i now struggle with sims 4 because it feels like too many options to be able to put anything you want, anywhere you want. Its overwhelming! I used to build a square house, click automatic roof and thats all. Now i gotta figure how to make it look nice, otherwise it feels goofy to play.
I haven’t played the Sims 2 in ages and I got major nostalgia watching this video. I was smiling all along the video, having flashbacks of when I was playing as a teenager. This made my heart all fuzzy. I love watching your videos, simsie, and this one made me really happy. Thank you for this amazing trip down memory lane ❤️

4:36 This is actually not a function that old Simmers actually use back in the day since most of us were accustomed to constant use of floor and wall tool to add/delete floor and wall.

I hope to see more sims 2 videos. That's my first and favorite game
its 2022 and I still play the sims 2, it heals something inside of my brain it feels like lol. I am in need of some expansion packs if anyone wants to send them my way.If you grew up on Sims 2 you would feel the opposite about the building and the game play. Going from 2 to 3 was horrible for most of us lol. You need a lot of cheats to realllllly be successful in Sims 2.
"Oh and a burglar alarm because I'm trying to not get Got." That line made me cackle loudly!
"I don't know, it's not my fault" Kayla says as if she expected us to blame her solely for the fact that you can no longer buy sims 2.
I played TS2 every morning before intermediate school and watching this video I was smiling the whole time.. lol
You really brought back some great simming memories of the olden days.. haha!
honestly all i remember about newspapers was that i could never keep up with them piling up and rotting on my front porch 😂
same
Omfg playing without rosebud cheat was hell on earth, I stayed hoarding newspapers until I could afford a computer 😆
Omg same
relatable af
I had a glicth in the game where newspaper would randomly spawn at my lawn, filling up my whole property D:
The paper would casually float in the air and lie down on my lawn...how fun it was when I noticed it bit too late and had to delete all that rotten newspaper xD
The Sims 2 arguably had the best in game music. Build/Buy mode, Create a Sim, even the music on the steroid, it was top tier
Omg YES I’ve been listening to the soundtrack lately, it’s just perfectly sims and not trying to be anything else
Man i love how sims 2 and 3 really put love and effort on the Detail in the game like Cars and Customize the town like u can go anywhere in the place u live in.. its just soo amazing, dont get me wrong i love sims 4 too its just more easier, but Sims 2 & 3 Really gives u the challenges man it makes u thinks and thats whats fun about it.
Omg I'm 26 and my first sims game was the original The Sims. Makes me feel so old. :"(
So agree. I'm 27 and Makin' magic was my favourite)
I'm 26 as well and sameee!! I remember so well when the Sims 2 came out, and how amazed I was with it! :__)
@@goddessmireh I'm 24 and me too! When the sims 2 came out I had no idea how to play it
Um...i was in college when the first sims came out
I´m 27 and it doesn´t make me feel old. More like I know some super secret Simsie does not :D :D I used to play the Sims 2 all the time. I LOVED Seasons and Nightlife!!
With the amount of spiral staircases in the Sims 2 it’s almost like the developers are mocking us...
The Sims 2 came out when I was 22 and living on my own for the first time. I hated getting up early, so I got myself to get up even earlier so I could play TS2 before my lame temp job. Those were the days. Fun to watch you play and compare some of the things to what we have today.
“And a burglar alarm because I’m not tryna get got” took me OUT 😭
Mood
Don't forget the smoke alarm
I first started playing Sims 2 (well, actually Life Stories) in 2009. I found out the hard way that the smoke detector wasn't just for looks and that it was a good idea to add one...and Sims doing the panic dance didn't help.
@@sophicarne omg I had the same thought. As a veteran player, this is a MUST near any appliance such as a stove. So many house fires have been caused by amateur cooking hour at home. 🤦
Oh the sims 2, so many memories come to my mind.
“Also, like, a burglar alarm. Cause I’m not tryna get got” *fixes hair*
An iconic lilsimsie line
I was playing Sims 2 when I was pregnant with my daughter. She's 14 now and we play Sims4 by this day This takes me back. I remember those roofs were a pain to add on.
Omg I also started playing sims 2 during my first pregnancy, and my daughter also now 14 😃
Same here, but I have a 14 year old son! And yes, those roofs were soo annoying!
dude i ADORE sims 2, i was too young to have played it and if i did i don’t remember it, but its just sooo cute and charming, i was playing a couple and one of my sims was showering and the other used the restroom and when she flushed her girlfriend ran out of the shower and yelled at her bc the flushing made her shower super hot, and them grabbing the cooking utensils out of the cabinets !! just the little touches are what i love soo much
Kayla saying "pop off" brings me such joy 😂😂
I'm in an extreme lilsimsie period right now and I can't stop, I'm literal snorting blue suburbans at this point.
I’m starting a petition for lilsimsie to stream the Sims 2 all day on Tuesday February 22nd, 2022.
I swear that cardboard cutout is getting closer every video
I never played Sims 2, but seeing that early 2000s style just made me really nostalgic for being young
You can feel the chunky “family computer” vibes
@@emoboy42069 I almost miss the days of the family computer
dude the baby and toddler stuff is out of this world - and the backyard stuff for your kid is awesome i only played the sims 3 growing now 4 obvi, but i wish we could have sims 2 stuff in sims 4 - like i just find it far more better looking and its awesome
I loved watching this. As an OG (34 years old 😒, played Sims 1 and Sim Town) this was so entertaining. Glad to know the new ones find the struggle real too lol.
Landlines are super common in the uk, every person I know has a home phone in Scotland. It’s so weird to me to think no one has one anymore in America ahaha
Every family I know in America has a home phone. The only people I know who don't are like single 20-somethings.
you have a home phone? i'm in the uk and i recently got my first house, saw NO point in getting in landline. I have a mobile phone so literally what's the point
@@lucyhannah1227 my parents have one, I'm single and 21 though so I dont see the need
@@madisonrussell5352 I'm 50 and I haven't had a landline in many years. No reason to pay for extra phone numbers when I don't want to talk to anyone anyway.
Lol
Dudee!! This is sooo nostalgic. I remember getting pissied by the flowers of my garden. Cuz in the sims 2 the bushes grew up, and you had to trim everything. I miss the car gameplay and the helicoperter coming to your house to get you to work.
omg the sims 2 is a masterpiece
*The build cheats you need :*
setquartertileplacement on (and you need to ctrl + f in construction) -> better to place objects in the middle of two tiles.

That took me back - I was a teenager with S1 came out and I've played all of them over the years but its been FOREVER since I've picked up any of the older ones. Lots of fun to watch. Thank you for making my day better while I sit on my couch and wait for my face to stop being numb from my dental procedure!
I discovered The Sims in 2001 when Livin' Large came out and fell in love. I moved onto every Sims except 3. When 3 came out I felt like it was missing a lot of things I had in The Sims 2 with all the expansions, plus I thought the faces were able to be customized better in The Sims 2 and I loved the personalities, aspirations and interests better. So I skipped all of The Sims 3 and played The Sims 2 until The Sims 4 came to console and I fell in love all over again. It's nice to reminisce on Sims 2 content.
Same. I never played Sims 3. I just didn't like how any of it looked.
Wym? Sims 4 is missing way more stuff than sims 3
I really miss that pool table. Also the sims could be in a band and all play a song together on the different instruments.
