@@miraveta I mean, when Kevin is the one playing the game (even if hes doing it "correctly"), burning to death is about the closest thing to a happy ending you could get.
You can't find anything about Chemistry or Dates in the prima guide, because the prima guide only covers base game content. Chemistry and Dating were only added in the Nightlife expansion pack. Similarly, Reputation (what caused Trent Traveller, and all random acquaintances, to have the power to hike up the prices on everything on you) is a system only added in the Apartment Life expansion pack. Also your sim definitely has no eyebrows, he lost them a while back when you messed with his age. You can restore them in a mirror if you wanted to... I just thought that it was intentional, to make him more uncanny.
Ah I didn't realize reuptation was Apartment Life, cool! I just think of Lilith Pleasant wanting a bad reputation lol whenever I finally get mods one of the first ones will be some kind of wants and fears one, I don't like that there are some wants I've never even seen and many I've only seen once
As a side note to this since it's answering the question - the lightning bolt with an x through it is a "turn off", meaning they really don't like the look of that person.
The eyebrows thing was when he set a business uniform many many episodes ago. I commented about it at the time because his face template changed as well (if you look back Kevin’s Sim didn’t have that face at the start). It’s a known glitch - every time you set a business uniform the employee will lose their eyebrows and change face templates. I don’t think Kevin much noticed or cared though!
@@HerHollyness i thought it happened when he changed his looks to match the zombies (hairstyle and all) and the zombies had no eyebrows so of course he also shaved his own
Oh the old memories from playing The Sims 2 for the first time... For my first go, I made a man who looked like he came straight from The Matrix, moved him into a premade house, clicked on the ground and it said I could look at the clouds, so I did. Then a satellite fell on my man and that was the end of my experience.
@deh I had a similar experience with Rollercoaster Tycoon. I built an open rollercoaster and raised the speed so that it's more exciting but I didn't test it and people died... I thought I was going to die from a heart attack. I seriously felt as if I killed a number of people by accident... Then I recovered from that feeling and started to kill people on purpose :D Now I play this kind of games in a decent manner.
I like to think Kevin's sim doesn't meet new people by introducing himself, but by saying "If you're hot, blonde, and single I'm ready to mingle" and then does finger pistols while saying 'pew pew'.
I used to have a blanket on my shoulders so when the cut scene played I'd throw it over the computer and hide underneath 😅 prob drew more attention anyway tbh
Oh my gosh, you too? I drew more attention to myself when that appeared (I played The Sims 2 on the family computer out in the living room) so I would say “Wow, my sims aren’t doing weird things” or “My sims just in bed talking” 💀 to try and justify what was going on… even tho I never said a word any other time when playing
Those were the times I instantly powered off the CRT monitor and set the speaker volume waay down. I only discovered that you could turn the cutscenes off last year lol
SirFaceFone LMAO that’s exactly what I would do, the second a cutscene started I was diving over the desk to hit the power button and unplug the speakers
I love that anytime Kevin starts a new playthrough of Sims 2, he always makes sure to have at least one of those dancing musical snowman decorations somewhere in the house lol.
I can’t believe that some how Kevin pissed off a random character who can make everything in your game more expensive! I didn’t know this was even a feature in the sims 2!
Reputation and networking was introduced in Apartment Life. Depending on how you interact with other sims, you'll get either a good or a bad reputation, and your relationship can give you ether benefits or punishments. One of them can be more expensive furniture 😁 It only lasts for 72 hours though, and there is also a positive one that gives you cheaper furniture, and that one is permanent.
@G A That's part of the networking and reputation system too! The sim doesn't *actually* know your boss (as your sim doesn't have a boss), but when you meet a new sim, there's a 30% chance of getting a networking opportunity, and getting a demotion is also one of the negative ones you can get 😊
As a diehard Sims 2 fan I always get excited when you revisit this game! The techno Christmas music accompanying the scenes of chaos and destruction always gets me 😂
This video absolutely killed me! Couldn't stop laughing at the ending, and to think Kevin tried to play it normally and still managed to mess it up, top tier content
The implication of the title is that EA created Sims 2 with the aim of getting a chaotic Irish youtuber to perfectly follow the game guide 18 years later, and I for one believe that was the main reason to create the game
I wasn't allowed to play The SIms as a kid because my mom said there was sex in the game. When I grew up and saw my first CMK Sims video I burst out laughing that the woohoo-ing animation was what my mom was so worried about. She never would have imagined the kidnap, torture, murder and mayhem that could also be done! No one tell her.
Sims:"Is this the calm before the storm? we've never had him be this calm before, just how bad is the storm going to be?!" later... Sims: Snap from the psychological pressure of waiting for something to go wrong, but not seeing it happen, knowing all too well that the longer it takes for the disaster to take place the worse it ends up. Examples: Volcanoes/Earthquakes/Players creating artificial disasters.
To be fair, if you break down each individual experience, someone's probably done it. It's the combination of all the experiences and your own perspective/reactions that makes it all unique
I have this guide sitting on my bookself right now. I remember bringing it to middle school. I was so excited when the Sims 2 came out. Absolutely destroyed my academic career 💃
Omg the pain of the Sims 2 not working on a computer is still fresh. I had to wait 2 years before I could play that goldmine, my dad also thought it was full of viruses because he didn't understand how the internet worked so I had to play it when he was working.
I feel this too! For me out of three neighborhoods only Strangetown would be able to load so it was the only town i could play in. Very quickly i started to hate the desert and wanted to live in a “normal” full of grass town haha. But for the same reason Strangetown is my favorite now giving me so much nostalgia😃
@@MayLina of all the neighborhoods, Strangetown had the least time with the developers so it tends to run better. Veronaville was the first one they made and all of the sim creation/death/boolprop they used makes it incredibly slow and buggy. Since Pleasantview was the flagship they spent a bit of time there, but out of Strangetown surprisingly Olive Specter is the only bugged one. You can actually revive most of the dead ancestors in Veronaville because they were actual playable sims at one point.
Funnily enough, it's also a bitch and a half to get working on modern computers too. Not only is it nearly impossible to get a copy in the first place without pirating it, you then have to go through a whole series of fixes just to get the game running. Except the fixes aren't universal because they vary depending on your graphics card so you basically just have to fuck around and try different fixes until you find what works.
@@CommanderWiggins And this is why I treasure my copy and my 2008 HP Desktop with Windows 7. I tried to pirate it for my laptop (it doesn't have a cd reader and I don't have an external one) with Windows 10 and I didn't get past the installation process. Same with The Sims 3.
@@CommanderWiggins Pretty sure EA sells it on Origin. I got it and all the expacs for really cheap (or free, it's been a while) as a promotion for one of the later games.
@@piercedsirenTechnically in 2 they can "become" gay or straight by exposing them romantically to the preferred gender. That means they would automatically show attraction to only their preferred gender. But the player can make them interact romantically with a sim of the other gender and "learn" that sexuality so they'ee always bi in a sense

I've seen all of your Sims videos, including the one where you grilled babies, and the image of five nearly identical blonde men taking turns splashing each other in a hot tub to distorted Christmas music is still the most vaguely menacing video of them all.
As someone who grew up on the Sims 2, this is great. Also the 'it kinda sucks that I have to go to work when I'm literally dying' needs to be on a t-shirt.
My earliest memory of playing the sims 2 as a child was having a family of 4, the dad going to work and being so preoccupied with trying to keep the other 3 alive I never realized he came home. Autonomy was off. He died in a puddle of his own piss on the sidewalk
Wow, I can't tell you how many times I re installed this game after formatting my hard drive because of a virus or bug. Each time it took almost all day and I was so excited the whole time. Then I'd start playing, spend like 2 days playing and never open it again. It seemed I enjoyed the process of installing the game more than the game itself.
This is even funnier when you realize Gary is the guy who adopted one of Kevins alien babies and who kevin mooched off of in the video where he tried living without a home
Kevin is so great, two dudes chilling in a hotube but actually being in a romance thing and he do it with no problems just naturally, is wholesome, Kevin best straight person :]
@@franciscasilva8406 what do you mean? I remember when the sims 4 first came out and Jack did a series on it. He had one of the women in his family marry Bella Goth and his whole comment section got so toxic. He had to address it and tell homophobes to get the hell away from his channel
Kevin, I know what you’re doing with that Finnish Harry Potter book cover. You clearly know that everytime a Finn sees something Finnish, they must mention it, thus driving up the interaction rates on your video.
Kids these days will never understand obsessively reading game guides until your parents let you play a game for one hour on the family computer. Kids these days are much happier than I was as a child.
And when you have 2 siblings that share the one computer in your house, so your one hour play time is strictly controlled by your parents because whenever it's time to switch between siblings, a fight ensues. Then your mom gets mad at all the yelling and nobody can play.
I guess I should have realized that there is an actual like “way” you’re supposed to play the game lmao. But 90% of the time we all would just rather torture our sims 😂😂
I just have to say I am thrilled to see you getting at 3 million plus followers. You truly deserve it with how fun, realistic (In personality lol) and humble you are! Keep it up Kevin I hope life for you has been great. Btw like the new hair!
Reading guides as a kid: Kevin: makes wacky sims houses while exploiting wholehearty characters like Jim Pickens. Me: Utilising my tactical espionage action skills, late into my 20's.
I was dying at the end laughing oh my god the sound affects you added everytime the sim noticed the fire again and then him running through it to get out 🤣🤣 Feckin fantastic, id love to see this as a clip tbh.
Tbf to child Kevin reading the Sims 2 guide over and over, I had a Pokemon game guide that came with a magazine and read it hundreds of times and made a list of all the Pokemon that I would catch despite having never played a Pokemon game. I was simultaneously the most and least knowledgeable.
this unlocked a memory i forgot i had. I LOVED reading manuals to EVERY EP i got for the sims 2 i was literally obsessed with it. I remember that my parents would buy me one or two per year and we often got them when we were visiting my grandparents so i was sitting in their bedroom away form everyone reading the new manual before i could get home and actually play it for the first time. Happy times 😊🥰
Kevin, you are a ray of sunshine that helps people cheer up. Your videos make me laugh until the point of my belly hurting. No matter what mood i am, i always cheer up after watching your videos. I thank you for being you and cheering people up. ❤️
You yeeted me back to when I was seven and we had dial up internet with that pinball game at the start, that was a combined psychic-damage/core-memory punch, nicely done
the only thing i remember from my very first time playing ts2 was making a couple and having them have a baby, but it ended up being twins, and it was so hard to manage my entire household fell apart before they were even toddlers. i love this game.
Me: “Oh man I remember enjoying this game, why’d I ever stop playing?” Kevin’s Sim ignores calling the fire department to stand as close to the fire as possible. Me:”that’s right...”
When I was little I always had lesbian couples and used men only to procreate 😅 because I thought women are more beautiful, and I enjoyed playing them more. Well, now I grew up and understood everything 😂
Kevin's story is very similar to my sister's: she also discovered Sims 1 at a friend's house and loved playing it so she asked it for Christmas, but Sims 2 was going to come out (we were in 2004) so she jumped instantly to Sims 2 :) I'd love to watch her play, as I'm younger and at the time the little me looked at the game and it seemed so different than everything I had ever tried and looked so complicated, that I didn't have the courage to try and prefered to watch her play xD Then eventually I tried and loved it and got better than her at it.. And now I'm the gamer of the family! The end xD
I had the Pets version of this guide and I mostly loved that it had codes to unlock stuff in the game, so there were SO MANY neon yellow dogs in my saves.
Good times! I remember reading at the newspaper that the sims 2 was coming out. At the time my graphics were only 256 MB, I made my family’s life hell until I got a pc that would poorly run this game. I’ve been playing the sims 2 since 2020, got addicted to it, again.
He used a Finnish renidition of the Harry Potter book for his 0,5 second bit about it and as a Finn I feel seen and happy (even though it was probably unintentional)
Kevin, I know this had probably been commented 50 times but the reason there’s nothing in the guide for dating/chemistry is because those were introduced in an expansion pack and not base game!! The prima guide just covers base stuff :p
So picture this: A digimon game for the PS1, where the method of digivolving your digimon feels random and you're young and naive and think "Gee, maybe the strategy guide knows how to get all the cool digimons!" And then you follow the guide to the letter, and don't get a single one of the digimons the guide lists, no matter what you try. God, why?
So glad to see the return of the Sims 2! And the way the whole experience came off as "organized chaos" is very much on-brand for Kevin :) Always looking forward to more!!
This was one hell of a nostalgia trip. Had almost the exact same experience where Sims 2 wouldn't run hardly at all on our PC when I got the game, but got a handed down Gateway a year later that could run it at a playable speed. Never played through a lot of the events like the private school head master, so I live vicariously through the guide to it. I also had the game guide and used it extensively since I didn't have regular internet access at the time. Had the one for Nightlife and Pets too, and eventually once Free Time (the next to last expansion) came out they released a box set of guides for every expansion that I still have to this day.
The thought of little Kevin reading the sims game guide and having the time of his life is hilarious
the most wholesome image possible after all his sim videos
As a kid I would read the crap out of game guides. I still remember the Twilight Princess game guide having notes from the developers sometimes! It was fun
Hey hey hey, we all know that the lore states that all earlier forms of Kevin are known only as “past Kevin”
And that must have been the last time he ever even touched a game guide again.
well, when I was little I played board games with my stuffed toys so his pastime sounds more adequate
its now cannon in my mind that kevin dyed his hair blonde to fit in with all his blonde sims boyfriends and no one can convince me otherwise

My earliest memory of playing the sims 2 as a child was having a family of 4, the dad going to work and being so preoccupied with trying to keep the other 3 alive I never realized he came home. Autonomy was off. He died in a puddle of his own piss on the sidewalk
Wow, I can't tell you how many times I re installed this game after formatting my hard drive because of a virus or bug. Each time it took almost all day and I was so excited the whole time. Then I'd start playing, spend like 2 days playing and never open it again. It seemed I enjoyed the process of installing the game more than the game itself.
This is even funnier when you realize Gary is the guy who adopted one of Kevins alien babies and who kevin mooched off of in the video where he tried living without a home
Kevin is so great, two dudes chilling in a hotube but actually being in a romance thing and he do it with no problems just naturally, is wholesome, Kevin best straight person :]
It's the Sims, for some reason even the most homophobic people had no trouble with same sex romance.
Kevin best person
@@franciscasilva8406 what do you mean? I remember when the sims 4 first came out and Jack did a series on it. He had one of the women in his family marry Bella Goth and his whole comment section got so toxic. He had to address it and tell homophobes to get the hell away from his channel
mildly unrelated but has Kevin ever actually said he was straight
@@Atlassx0 No but it's a reasonable assumption since he's only dated women.
Kevin, I know what you’re doing with that Finnish Harry Potter book cover. You clearly know that everytime a Finn sees something Finnish, they must mention it, thus driving up the interaction rates on your video.
*takes notes* 👀
Same for anyone trying to learn Finnish!
Imagine kevin's parents pov:
>This kid reads a book non stop for months on how to raise a family
>Finally starts his family
>Dies instantly
Kids these days will never understand obsessively reading game guides until your parents let you play a game for one hour on the family computer. Kids these days are much happier than I was as a child.
Dont think they are happier but the rest is true
And when you have 2 siblings that share the one computer in your house, so your one hour play time is strictly controlled by your parents because whenever it's time to switch between siblings, a fight ensues. Then your mom gets mad at all the yelling and nobody can play.
@@liv97497 Ah the memories
We're not
I guess I should have realized that there is an actual like “way” you’re supposed to play the game lmao. But 90% of the time we all would just rather torture our sims 😂😂
I used to go straight to modthesim2 and download crazy shit like the grill that literally cooks babies and have Goku marry Cloud Strife. Good times.
Or create strange and bizarre fantasy situations
Apparently even the guide likes to torture sims lol
And play the salsa radio station while there's a fire in the background and the baby is crying and someone is dying xD
or name them after people we hated, then ensure they had a short, uncomfortable existence and a slow, painful death..... not just me, right?
The sim walking outside and THEN catching on fire is the most Kevin thing I’ve seen 😂
0:55 the Harry Potter cover just jumpscared me. and this is coming from a Finn who read the books as a kid lmao
Same!!
Same
I had to go back to look at it again because I was like “wtf was that in Finnish?” lol
Sama
I love that the game knows Kevin so well that even when he tries to perform the right action, the game decides that's not what he meant.
As a frequent enjoyer of midnight salmon, I can say that you're absolutely right about it hitting the sweet spot.
Y'know, as someone who is somewhat face blind, the a party of several blond sims is... confusing xD
just a bunch of blonde dudes in their trunks, im surprised kevin was able to somewhat recognize whos who
Don't worry. Not being face-blind doesn't help at all.
No one:
Kevin: accidentally brings us Christmas in July
"Kinda sucks that I have to go to work even though I'm DYING."
Life of a retail worker...
now this truly is something a little bit different
;)
thank you for the heart kevin!!
I just have to say I am thrilled to see you getting at 3 million plus followers. You truly deserve it with how fun, realistic (In personality lol) and humble you are! Keep it up Kevin I hope life for you has been great. Btw like the new hair!
Oh my god! He's finally playing the Sims 2 again! I've missed the new Sims 2 series so much!
The fact that he followed the guide and it still ended in death and despair.
Kevin is like a chaotic god; the last think you want to tell it, it to 'follow rules'.
That's how people die horribly to genie's wishes.
19:25 the fact that Kevin chooses Runescape music every now and then is an amazing little edit.
Reading guides as a kid:
Kevin: makes wacky sims houses while exploiting wholehearty characters like Jim Pickens.
Me: Utilising my tactical espionage action skills, late into my 20's.
I was dying at the end laughing oh my god the sound affects you added everytime the sim noticed the fire again and then him running through it to get out 🤣🤣 Feckin fantastic, id love to see this as a clip tbh.
Day 266 of asking Kevin to play Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey
OMG flashback🥹
Honk 👍
He would be a beautiful princess.
YES PLEASE
Praying your mission will be successful 🙏
19:25 omg the osrs beatz version of sea shanty 2
Kevin: "It's new year's... Kinda"
Me: *looks at what day it is. July 15* "Hmm, seems legit."
Tbf to child Kevin reading the Sims 2 guide over and over, I had a Pokemon game guide that came with a magazine and read it hundreds of times and made a list of all the Pokemon that I would catch despite having never played a Pokemon game. I was simultaneously the most and least knowledgeable.
Even when he follows the guide, Kevin still goes on his own way.
Never change Kevin, never change.
Kevin immediately starting off misreading the tooltip about item depreciation is just a perfect prelude to the rest of the video.
is also nice to see kevin makeing longer videos when he can and enjoying the games for what they are instead of chaos all the time
this unlocked a memory i forgot i had. I LOVED reading manuals to EVERY EP i got for the sims 2 i was literally obsessed with it. I remember that my parents would buy me one or two per year and we often got them when we were visiting my grandparents so i was sitting in their bedroom away form everyone reading the new manual before i could get home and actually play it for the first time. Happy times 😊🥰
i just love the christmas music playing all the time in the background
Kevin, you are a ray of sunshine that helps people cheer up. Your videos make me laugh until the point of my belly hurting. No matter what mood i am, i always cheer up after watching your videos. I thank you for being you and cheering people up. ❤️
You yeeted me back to when I was seven and we had dial up internet with that pinball game at the start, that was a combined psychic-damage/core-memory punch, nicely done
"I'll just enjoy the love tub by myself, I guess"
a phrase that becomes more and more relatable with every passing day
I'd forgotten how many weird objects were in the Sims 2. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I know! It was fantastic! I miss so many of those things.
Shoutout to the Kevin and his editing team. They're amazing :)
Good lord, the chaos of this video is giving me life. Not even following the guide Kev escapes from his own insanity
Kevin: nonchalantly gets rid of grilled cheese aspiration.
Me: it's the end of an era.
Wow, kevin is playing correctly!
FINALLY!
finally it's here...

the only thing i remember from my very first time playing ts2 was making a couple and having them have a baby, but it ended up being twins, and it was so hard to manage my entire household fell apart before they were even toddlers.
i love this game.
I love when kevin plays the sims and even when hes playing normally it goes all strange
Me: “Oh man I remember enjoying this game, why’d I ever stop playing?”
Kevin’s Sim ignores calling the fire department to stand as close to the fire as possible.
Me:”that’s right...”
I don't know Kevins own sexuality, but I love that his characters always have a "I don't care" attitude to the gender of their partners!
To be fair, it's very much in the genes of Sims to not care about genders. Few games let's you date so freely.
When I was little I always had lesbian couples and used men only to procreate 😅 because I thought women are more beautiful, and I enjoyed playing them more. Well, now I grew up and understood everything 😂
watching again at the end of 2023. this has amazing Kenergy
Kevin's story is very similar to my sister's: she also discovered Sims 1 at a friend's house and loved playing it so she asked it for Christmas, but Sims 2 was going to come out (we were in 2004) so she jumped instantly to Sims 2 :)
I'd love to watch her play, as I'm younger and at the time the little me looked at the game and it seemed so different than everything I had ever tried and looked so complicated, that I didn't have the courage to try and prefered to watch her play xD
Then eventually I tried and loved it and got better than her at it.. And now I'm the gamer of the family! The end xD
I had the Pets version of this guide and I mostly loved that it had codes to unlock stuff in the game, so there were SO MANY neon yellow dogs in my saves.
Good times! I remember reading at the newspaper that the sims 2 was coming out. At the time my graphics were only 256 MB, I made my family’s life hell until I got a pc that would poorly run this game.
I’ve been playing the sims 2 since 2020, got addicted to it, again.
He used a Finnish renidition of the Harry Potter book for his 0,5 second bit about it and as a Finn I feel seen and happy (even though it was probably unintentional)
Kevin, I know this had probably been commented 50 times but the reason there’s nothing in the guide for dating/chemistry is because those were introduced in an expansion pack and not base game!! The prima guide just covers base stuff :p
Kevin’s experience with his first Sims family are the foundations for his child-free status today.
I must have played like… at least 500 hours of the sims 2 and I’ve never had a sim die. I think it’s just you, Kevin
It's almost like he goes wildly out of his way to make things as difficult and chaotic as possible then acts surprised
So picture this: A digimon game for the PS1, where the method of digivolving your digimon feels random and you're young and naive and think "Gee, maybe the strategy guide knows how to get all the cool digimons!"
And then you follow the guide to the letter, and don't get a single one of the digimons the guide lists, no matter what you try. God, why?
I really missed the sims 2 videos, and this did not leave me disappointed
So glad to see the return of the Sims 2! And the way the whole experience came off as "organized chaos" is very much on-brand for Kevin :) Always looking forward to more!!
Even when played as the creators intended, Kevin still causes chaos.
Poetic
The instant Kevin dyed his sim’s hair blonde his character instantly became a twink.
just realized how incredibly cursed Kevins playthrough will get once the High School pack is out. teen Jim Pickens incoming?
"How do you do fellow kids" -- Jim Pickens dressed up as a High School student probably
@@ashleylucas6627 you, you get it
This was one hell of a nostalgia trip. Had almost the exact same experience where Sims 2 wouldn't run hardly at all on our PC when I got the game, but got a handed down Gateway a year later that could run it at a playable speed. Never played through a lot of the events like the private school head master, so I live vicariously through the guide to it.
I also had the game guide and used it extensively since I didn't have regular internet access at the time. Had the one for Nightlife and Pets too, and eventually once Free Time (the next to last expansion) came out they released a box set of guides for every expansion that I still have to this day.
