The Sims 2: 50 MORE FUN LITTLE DETAILS not in Sims 3 & Sims 4

- Today I'm going to show 50 more little details in Sims 2 that makes the game livelier but aren't implemented in Sims 3 and 4.

Gotta do some more clarifications again:
- Sims 4 do have split screens in the console games, but the games will always use 4-player splitscreen regardless of the player's number.
- I'm gonna admit I got the "messy eating" wrong because you can eat messily as a slob sim in Sims 3 (not Sims 4 glutton eating, it's different than sloppy/slob)
- EDIT: Also admitting about the barista bar tending to be wrong because Sims 4 sims can tend on barista bar if there's no one tending, though they won't be paid hourly like in the video
- Yes, some of the features here are also in The Sims 1, but this video is titled "Sims 2 Details not in *Sims 3 and 4* ", remember?
- Some of you said toddlers can throw up as well when you play with them in Sims 3, but I can't seem to reproduce them in the game after doing it several times. Can you tell how do you do it?
OMG Please do Sims 3!!!!!
Toddlers can throw up in The Sims 3? Never seen it either.
Though the last one does remind me that sims in The Sims 4 can tend barista bars (from Get Together expansion pack) if there's no barista tending it. It's an easily forgettable feature (since not often you get a chance to tend a barista bar unless you put it in other places).
@@TheSimsTutorialsEg Oh man I tried it and they do tend the barista bar. Gonna edit the clarification again. Thanks!
I just love the finer details in sims 2😓
onlyabidoang ignore everyone trying to be know it alls lmao you done a great job with these videos!! I know they must have taken forever
It’s still amazed me how they advertised Sims 4 with that whole “emotion” system, yet back in Sims 2 sims expressed more emotions...
This is from a company who offered 'Off The Grid' living, yet has no idea what kind of lifestyle that actually is.
That was puzzling ever since they announced emotions. No-one asked for them.
Yess!! I was SO dissapointed when ts4 STILL had the "3 trait" - thing. They were hyping the "more personalities" shit up so much.. for nothing
Its funny how the Sims 4 Sims arent more intelligent than the 2 ones even though they we're advertised as such
Osana Najimi can’t they be sued for that.... 👀
When you realise the Sims 2 is more realistic than life:
Ya thats pretty realistic when ur sim can play piano perfectly even if he or she dont play it at all just because sim have max creativity.
We live in a simulation.
@@av.dheevertheartist.7327 lol

Still the best game from the series
1 fun little detail:
The Sims 2 doesn’t beg for your money and is actually enjoyable as a vanilla game
😂
What?
Queen of the Chyna’s Graham what’s hard to understand?
bipolar daughter because what game begs you for money??? And what is a vanilla game
Queen of the Chyna’s Graham A vanilla game is just the default game without adds ons so no mods, cc, purchasable packs etc. So just the base game

Can we talk about how the sims 4 doesnt have cars and the sims 2, released in like 2005, is like "we have cars...and HELICOPTERS"
SIMS 2 WINS OVER SIMS 4 EVERYDAY
Sims 4 worlds are so piddlingly small they don't need cars. ;)
BRUH SIMS 4 GOT NOTHING ON SIMS 2-3
@@Carmn07 on the one hand I even understand, it is the latest game in the franchise. but the game have what? 5 years? it's already old and doesn't even have the beginning that 1, 2 and 3 have.
xyz_ The reason why I said sims 2-3 was better than sims 4 was because sims 4 does have very good graphics but the gameplay tends to get boring. And the sims 4 has a loading screen for almost everything. I wish the sims 4 was open world like the sims 3, and had more details.
Also I was very pissed with the college expansion pack for the sims 4, the expansion pack trailer makes it look like you can do a lot. But in reality there’s only like 3 buildings you can actually go to (depending what college you pick)
In sims 3 you had a backpack every time you went to classes, and on top of that you can actually see your sims in classes, and you can make them do stuff like take notes, nap..etc. You’re also in an actual dorm room that has two floors, and you can chose a frat house or sorority house. ALSO SIMS 3 HAD FLIPPING CARSSS!! There’s so much stuff that the sims 3 had that sims 4 doesn’t. Like this doesn’t even scratch the surface of how much stuff sims 3 has, like bruh.
Edit:
(Sorry about my little rant 😅)
One thing I’ve noticed when you go off to college, if your Sim’s parents are not alive, they’ll look back in the cutscene where they would be wishing they were still alive.
I'm not crying, you're crying
those college cutscenes really are something. one of my sims went and instead of her single mum accompanying her, it was her estranged dad-even though they had absolutely no relationship. talk about bittersweet, man...
I'd cry
@@CloverLovesTT That would make me so emotional
MajorDaveSanders or they will let grandparents be there if they are alive. I even think if I remember correctly not sure anymore it’s ages 🤔 but, I think even big brother or sister will be there to wave off if no parents.
Omg I completely forgot about the romantic “turn ons” and “turn offs” option 😭 this game was too good to be true and we took it for granted. Sims 4 is so boring in comparison!
Some of those restricted gameplay though, like 'glasses', which you could change immediately if you were playing that sim
@@frogsnack7072 I like that though, because in real life if you find out the person you like is attracted to glasses, certain people would not be above wearing fake glasses to impress them.

Oh, I always remembered this part of the game - especially when the gypsy lady gets involved
Thats something I dont like about this game qwq
Can we also talk about how you can see the sims BREATHING and their hair movement?
I miss the cut scenes from Sims 2 when important things would happen in a sim's life. It made it feel like your choices were actually important to the sims
Same! And not just a notification saying they're getting engaged. Also I hate the wedding requirements. Just let me buy a cake
I also miss that they would get memories either good or bad from things that have happened in their lives.
For real. I always got excited when those cutscenes happened
@_어린것 Idk, maybe Sims 5 will be more realistic and for sure more good I hope.
This!
These little details are the reasons why Sims 2 felt more like a "Sims" game than Sims 4. I like the new features and all don't get me wrong, however Sims 4 seems like it was a spinoff.
They added emotion system yet it felt hollow. Perhaps it was just the lack of "realism" that makes it off.
there are cool stuff in sims4 but for some reason I like sims3 more. Like cmon OPEN WORLD
@@internetexplorer9987 Sims 3 became the best because of its open world system and some details and aspects from its predecessor, Sims 2.
What we need is The Sims 2's realism, liveliness and little details+ The Sims 3's open world + The Sims 4's CAS options and graphics
@@sehunslines Exactly
Toxic Pancake I'd imagine you don't need "a lot of money" for a cheap pc and Sims 2 these days.
I also notice that in The Sims 2, when you try on clothes in the shop, the security camera would move and look through a hole to see the sim changing. Always bothered me when I was a kid😂
😂😂

I feel like EA should've taken a hint when Minecraft and Animal Crossing are more popular than The Sims.
Animal crossing and Minecraft are the most amazingly beautiful childhood games I have ever played I still play today
Exactly.
The way I introduced the Animal Crossing New Horizons direct to my friend was by saying
"You know how Sims 4 was supposed to completely be out of this world for the Sims franchise? Well, Nintendo actually did that with the new Animal Crossing."
I mean, minecraft is a really good game tbh. I’ve been playing since I was 5.
joe mama minecraft wasnt even a demo when i was 10 >.
joe mama same lol
Little details are everything and they had no reason to get rid of them. Especially in 3. But TS4 is just a Trainwreck.... So I ignore it.
Seriously, if they just mixed TS2 and TS3. You'd have a pretty solid perfect game. Or pretty close I'd say.
I think if they added the build system from ts4 too that would be a real perfect game!
Seriously! I would have been happy with ts3 just being an expanded ts2 with updated graphics. They lost that "bizarre" charm sims had in 1 and 2.
@Lord Bawank I like TS3 CAS just fine. It's even better with mods and much easier than ts4. Ts4's is not intuitive.
@@ZiggyWhiskerz About the CAS I prefer the one of The Sims 4, it's more easy to change the little details and it isn't so slow like Sims 3 (when you haver a lot of expansions It take some time to load). But I miss the color pallet
I'd take Sims 2 extensive game detail, Sims 3 open world and Sims 4 graphics. That would make a perfect Sims 5 game
I figured out: When parents have a good relationship with their children, they kiss them on the forehead, while they sleep. This action is automatic, when the parents are in the same room with the sleeping child.
Thank you for the amazing videos. I only play Sims 2 since it came out. And I still don't know everything in the game. 3 and 4 bored me after a while.
I think that only happens in TS3 after a child is read to sleep
That's happened with me even when they weren't in the same room. It's when they tuck the child in. It can be done manually but if the parent has nothing doing it happens automatically
In the sims 1 as well
And that is so pure, cute, adorable, heart-warming and wholesome. 😭💖
It happens in the sims bustin out as well

Sims 2 wasn't playing around back then. You can see the commitment!
When I heard Sims 4 Spa Day had yoga I bought it immediately and had my sim go to a yoga class, eagerly waiting for them to mess up in some comedic fashion. Nevermind, they did it perfectly from the start. The Sims 2 would never.
Failure doesn’t exist in the sims 4. It’s a utopia
Well, not really. In sims 4, When my sim tried doing it with the low wellness, they'll do yoga poses with some difficulty and fall. But with high wellness, they'll do it with ease.
@@dracko158 this, the sims 4 put all emphasis on emotions and well-being while forgetting that not everyone is perfect part.
as long as your sim id happy and focused and basically well managed, they will do things perfectly first try while learning, it makes learning those skills less worth it in terms of seeing your sims progress in life.
@@RenShinomiya121 That's why I play with the Skill Lock mod, so I can add at least SOME challenge into the game...
The Sims 2 is such a realistic game. There are so many little details. It’s clear that the developers have invested so much love in this game ♥️♥️
Another small detail: When a sim writes a book, you can choose the "story" of the book by picking pictures.
Yeah and they can choose the cover also
I think something of this sort is present in the medieval part, the bard can compose a song using certain themes they collected while looking for inspiration in various places
Yeah, but did that really effect anything?
@@shadowninja6689 not much, but it was kind of neat how the knight would inspire you to get the war theme, the wizard would give you the magic theme, the physician the sickness and health theme, etc
Another detail I also remember in carpools the parents could take the kids, to school if they had a car! I seriously miss that in all other sim games
It's weird how old-gen (not so-old-gen) sims game is more detailed than modern-gen (i.e The Sims 4)...
Furry-eon they got lazy without completion
That’s because sims are made to make money and they aren’t a passion project anymore. But I feel the attention to detail lacks in other games now too. The whole industry has changed..
Will Wright isn't the Head guy anymore.
To be fair, the sims 4 has a massive graphics and UI boost that would crash most people's PC if open world was available.
Although, I still wish that the sims 4 had the same personality as sims 2 because the game just feels so hollow :/
Not to mention all the dumb dlc for dlc, that's just a shady ass move
Sims 4 was originally going to be a multiplayer RPG game.
Dude how is it that when they made the sims 2 they were more in depth with there gameplay, like they actually thought about the meaning of life. With sims 4 it just seems that they made a game, then after it was done made us pay more money for stuff that we already got in previous games that were included in the base game. 😡
Because it came off the back of Sims 1 and it was still being made by Maxis. They put in a lot more care and attention to detail before they released it and they took the same care with their expansions. That all changed when EA took over; all the care went out the window, they just threw their packs together, got them out onto the shelves and couldn't care less if they didn't work. Their final S2 pack - Apartment Life - was bugged to the hilt. They didn't fix it, there were no patches released, they didn't care about it; Sims 3 was about to get released and all they cared about was how much money they were going to make from that. It was modders that fixed Apartment Life, EA had nothing to do with it - they released it broken and washed their hands of it. They did the same with Island Paradise for Sims 3; Sims 4 was on the horizon and they weren't going to spend anything fixing their broken product. They'll do the same with the final S4 packs. Actually, from what I hear, they've been doing it already.
That because Maxis loved and cared and EA doesn't
@@FerDeLance06 that’s wrong will wright was still working on sims 3 base game then left in April of 2009 and sims 3 isn’t a cash grab it has many details like this game
@@idk_who2320 Perhaps if you try reading my comment instead of giving it a brief scan, you'll notice that I never at any point said that Sims 3 is a cash grab. In fact, Sims 3 is a worthy successor in the franchise - although I didn't like it much at first, it grew on me over time. If any of them could be called a cash grab, it's that bloody Sims 4.
@@FerDeLance06 yep
I loved when in TS2 sims could actually put on signs when their retail store was going to be open or closed. TS2 is such a detailed and awesome game, I don't think I'd ever be bored of it :)
Sims 2 was made with love. Whenever EA switched over to origin everything went downhill.
I'm sure the sims team still makes the game with love the problem is EA not giving them time and recources to work on stuff that makes the game itself better
TheChristmasDude the way they pump out these half assed expansion packs- they do not make them with love anymore
Kiah because EA is becoming greedy as hell
@@Spider-Man62 nope you punching glass clock in real life
Kiah the problem is CORPORATE not the designers themselves.
What I want for The Sims 5:
The Sims 1's music styles
The Sims 2's gameplay, details and story telling
The Sims 3's sims traits, open world neighbourhoods and expansion packs (China from World Adventures pack are very well done/Into the Future pack has many cool items)
The Sims 4's visuals, create a sim, house building mechanics and multi tasking AI(the only real improvement over the predecessors)
Same here!
Obviously!
Your forgetting something.........EA
the emotion of the sims 4 also
Sims 2 babies. I loved bathing them in the sink and overall the cutest of all the Sims versions.
Romantic and dining interactions were so varied in sims 2! Also I miss the cut scenes, they made it so cinematic. The family dynamic of someone placing a plate down for each member before joining was phenomenal. I loved watching the tv with the sims, it had much more choice of channels and ads! Sitting in a friend circle was one of the things I missed trying out.
When a sim dies, their cremation urn is placed in the house. If another sim on the lot is really unhappy with their life, they can get so angry that they'll smash the urn and break it to pieces, even if it was their family member. It was kind of a scary and sad thing to witness, actually.
i feel like sims 4 was rushed. it just doesn’t compare to the others.
BenGamer yep, they were very lazy with 4
I want to assume it’s not because they were lazy but because there was some confusion with direction concerning some higher ups in the company. Sims 4 lacked direction, we all know that project Olympus was originally going to be an online game, but the assets were later sold and shipped with the Sims 4. My guess is that the team was told to scrap Olympus after the chaos that was SimCity 2013 and they ended up having being pressured to rush the game, as Sims 3 had just ended. I think if they just dragged the Sims 3 out, they could’ve had some time to give Sims 4 a proper release.
I also think Sims 4 was targeting people with ADD, at least it seems so to me, as they removed so many wonderful animations, like making cereal for example. That combined with "millennial laziness" as I think alot of the staff at EA now are stereotypical millennials...
Yesterday Tomorrow I have ADD and I don’t see the connection between it and the lack of animations in the Sims 4
Yesterday Tomorrow Don’t think it’s millennial laziness or ADD. I think they’re told to make too much for a game with that doesn’t seem planned out. And EA is notorious for dropping quality for a cheap buck.
The Sims 4 is giving us so little stuff for so much money, kinda regretting wasting money on the game 😣
This makes me miss TS2 a lot, even if the graphics are kinda bad
Simloiza honestly (at least for the sims themselves) they look pretty good with mods
Im actually looking where to get it (legally) with all the expansions. Any idea?? I reslly want my Sims 2 back!!

gowonautic Mine did the opposite. He fainted because he was so hot and his mum came out and threw some water on him 😂
@@natalieeforsyth 😂
Wow, lol, this game is amazing.
@@natalieeforsyth I was just going to mention this. My poor character ended up with heatstroke, and the only other person in the house was her cat, so she had to ride it out... It was insane. I love it.
You can see that in sim 3
I remember that once, in The Sims 2, a girl saw her sister's husband cheating on her with someone else: she immediately ran away and told his wife. I've never seen it happening in another The Sims game.
If your sim saw someone cheating on their spouse there was a chance it would come up if you made them "gossip" with another sim too....you could essentially out the cheating spouse.
No wonder I had such high interest in AI when I played The Sims 1 and 2. The Sims 2 exemplified very drawn-out examples of AI (artificial intelligence), like this one.
On sims 4 my sims husband cheated on the maid and than when they broke up the maid killed herself and same with the husband was like uhhhhh what happened
Now they can get caught by their spouse directly and proceed to hug and chat like nothing happened.
I guess EA technically wasn't lying about their "weirder stories". The "smarter Sims" thing though...
I had two sims in college, they ate together and threw food to each other. And what happend? They fell in love for eachother. Because of throwing food. Wtf 😂
yeah i experience that too i think its a bug haha
That's so adorable lol That's like elementary school or a movie
my sim initially didnt find his friend attractive but when they went ice skating i made them spin together and then they both developed crushes at each other 🥺
I really hope Paralives pays attention to this
The handing over the baby... is such a huge thing LOL. and the personalities were so cute, literally no two sims were alike.
Just imagine how great the sims 4 could have been... disappointing
I think I read somewhere they are going to be updating it a hell of of a lot this year to a lot of these things baby the most
Ellis Vamplew I really hope thats true 😭
The issue is that The Sims 4 was rushed and changed midway through. The Sims 4 was originally going to be an online game similar to The Sims Online, but was changed to a singleplayer game midway through development. So what we got was a lackluster Sims game at release. Also, that’s the reason why everything is instanced and they did away with the open world (easier for a potentially online game). My hope is that EA moves on from the Sims 4 and just starts development on The Sims 5 and make it a singleplayer experience from the ground up. Go back to just using expansion packs and stuff packs and fill them with content worth buying (this likely won’t happen) and build off everything that made The Sims 2 and 3 good. Also, bring back the weird Sims 2 style Maxis humor (without Will Wright, that’s unlikely to happen). Sims 4 just feels so un-Sims like with all the real world and meme references.
@@-CrimsoN- well the original mastermind is gone after all.
@@gradesam6306 Absolutely. It's a shame that Will Wright has left Maxis.

I'm so amazed at the sheer amount of animation detail in sims 2! Chess matches are actual chess matches, pizza slices are actually taken out piece by piece, food in the microwave actually spins, sims actually get in and out of vehicles, delivery vehicles actually come to deliver things!
But the thing that amazes me the most is the clothing being actual real items in the game's world that they have to buy and store. It just adds SO MUCH by having clothes not just come out of the ether!
yes, the sims 2 have alot of gameplay.. when i first played the sims 3 and i saw the sims buying food on the fridge i tough OMG what a fucking Downgrade to the sims 1, what developer would do that? i always wished they lost they job its offensive design choice specially because sims 3 also have a market already...... why remove the clothing shopping? why ... i don't understand :( make me so sad.....
Yeah, although I always make sure to go buy the clothing before the Sims age up because otherwise they get a randomly generated outfit and like 9 times out of 10 it's the weirdest, most ridiculous-looking thing
I noticed during the Family Kiss one, when the brother and little sister had a family kiss, she wiped her mouth afterwards. That is just so adorable and spot on!
This is why Sims 2 felt so much more magical and endearing
Also, in sims 2, every sim records the eye and hair color that they inherit from both mom and dad. They use only one for themselves, but the other is stored as 'recessive'. When that sim eventually procreates with another sim, either the dominant or the recessive gene will be used for any resulting baby. Thus, a sim might get hair and eye color from a grandparent, even though neither mommy, nor daddy shows that color.
For example: John has black hair, but a recessive red gene. Jane has blond hair, and also a recessive red gene. When their baby Tina is born, the game takes one hair color from mom, and one from dad. Dad's black hair has a bigger chance to show up, because it *is* dominant, but little Tina might still end up blonde or ginger. But whatever color she gets for herself, Tina will also carry the color that she got from the other parent.
whereas in sims 3 and 4 there are no such thing as dominant and recessive genes. Plus, they can't inherits their ancestors features unlike sims 2.
Yesss,. That shit is so important! Makes it so so much more realistic.. You cant fuck with genes😛
Sims 3, they can inherit ancestor features - even if it doesn't make sense! In Sims 3, I had a Sim with rainbow-coloured hair. She adopted a daughter who had black hair. The daughter grew up and had a rainbow-haired child.
@@CendaquentaBooks I'm not sure adoption's supposed to pass on genes lol
@@paranoidhumanoid1022 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Sims 3 doesn't seem to differentiate between adopted kids and biological kids, sooo yeah. Maybe it got patched eventually, I think that incident happened when I was using a quite early game version - no expansions, few/no patches.
A quick Google does turn up a few simmers with the same issue, though.
@@CendaquentaBooks I don't play sims 3 and my comment's not intended to be something personal, just poking fun at the game 🤷🏻♀️
This video could also be called : Reasons why the Sims 2 didn't need a Generations/Parenthood expansion pack

In Sims 2 you could scan a room and it would light up the person your Sim was most attracted to. That was way cool. If you liked them too, get 'em together!
In Sims 3 you had the hearts come up and then there would be a moodlet when they were nearby. You couldn't always tell where the attraction moodlet was coming from but it wasn't hard to figure out after a while.
Sims 4 doesn't appear to have any type of system like that, or if it's there I'm missing it. You'd think if Sims liked each other they'd get the Flirty emotion or something, but nope, that just seems to happen randomly or not at all!....
Don’t forget when you walk in snow it leaves a trail and cow plant you can see the digestion on the Sims haha ! Amazing vids man
Conclusion: The Sims 2 is more realistic than the other games.

As a person who never played this game, I’m absolutely amazed about how it reflects the 2000’s vibes, with the clothes, the computers, everything. I just love that a lot.
The funniest part is, Sims 3 is more technologically advanced even though Sims 3 takes place before Sims 2.
Felmarge Go what? Really? Where did it say that?

There’s a lot of storyline behind the sims games that I don’t really care about but basically the timeline is The Sims 3 (oldest) then Sims 1 then Sims 2. Sims 4 takes place in an alternate universe which is just stupid but whatever.
I don't think it was mentioned, but if I remember from aaages ago, a kid isn't fed and they get re-homed by social services, they will obsessively check the fridge for food (because you know, you actually had to buy food in TS2 instead of having a magical always stocked fridge).
Also not intentional but a funny bug, if you invite a sim child over to a family's lot, then go back to their original home and age them up, when you return to the first lot they will be an older sim body crammed into a child sim's skeleton. It's kind of hilarious.
This makes my heart hurt. How did our favorite game slowly downgrade?
Curse you EA.
Also, time to buy Sims 2 again. I gave it away to a family member when Sims 3 came out and I purchased it. I regret it now. lol
At this point, just download it. Even EA was giving the whole Ultimate Collection away for free on Origin for a time
@@cgcgc42 IIRC, you can't really buy Sims 2 in any way that would actually line EA's filthy pockets as they took it off Origin for purchase. It's pretty much abandonware now. But I do agree that they don't deserve a single penny.
Sims 2 was ahead of it's time and we're just catching on now lmao
Sims 2: Realistic.
Also sims 2: When you're head doctor, you are picked up by a helicopter.
I love this way too much XD
Homeless bloke who has never even driven a car. It's perfectly safe to just buy and fly one of those right?
Also in sims 2, if you have a bad relationship with other neighbors, they will kick your trash can or stealing your newspaper!
@@FahmiHabibie Oh and....
Lovers have unprecended listening ability. If you cheat on them inside home while they're walking across, they can hear it miles away.
@@peagames2002 To be fair, everything is just one layer styled drywall.
I remember in Sims 2, the weeds are more likely to appear after rain. It's the little details like that that make Sims 2 so good.
Here’s one. In Sims 2, there is a “flirt” interaction when sims are sitting at the table eating, which involves feeding the other sim a bite. This “flirt” option appears even if the other Sim is your sibling...
sweet home alabama
U game is messed up lol
So there WAS incest bugs in previous games and not just Ts4
that’s surprising 😂
I had a sim date two other sims at the same time. When I had a dream date, he came over with the roses, saw me greet my other lover (by kissing), and walked off angry and with the flowers
THE DETAILS OMFG
The drama in the sims 2 is better than cable to be honest
Broo we need to see that
My sim was having an affair and after going on a date with his mistress, she brought flowers to the house. The wife read the note on the flowers and got mad and jealous.
After a dream date my date came over with the roses AND a fucking hot tub.
This never happened before or after that and I've been playing Sims 2 for years now.
let’s admit all together sims 2 is the best and sweetest game of all
I can admit that
Yes, I will admit that, even though The Sims 3 is my favorite part, The Sims 2 from what I can see about it, it's simply the best.
Its only subjective, yet I prefer 3
Yes!!
I'm currently playing Sims 4 and I want to cry. This is so much better. Thank you.

That "wow" is priceless

"In this game, the food in the microwave. Freaking. Spins. Wuoh."
Kudos to this creator for actually going through and reading comments and then also clarifying/fixing mistakes!
Thank you so much for noticing it ❤
About to spend this weekend, playing The Sims 2 as I really missed many of these features that the The Sims 4 lacks.
th-cam.com/video/7Zl25ny5ViU/w-d-xo.html .
6:07 I always believed that it was a bug or that my PC was not good enough to process that and that's why it was still there. 13 years were a lie.
ooo don’t forget when sims were on the phone they would walk around and talk
@@gengibreralado o auge eh vc respondendo o comentário inglês em português KKKKKKKK
Fico imaginando se a gringa vai traduzir e ler 😂
Sims 3 does that.
I adored going to the stores in Sims 2, it made going shopping for clothes actually useful because if you got tired of your current, you'd have to go out and actually get something new. It gave more of a reason to make clothing stores.
dressers also use to have a purpose whereas now I feel like they don't and just take up space since I can just click on my sim a change clothes, but that is useful
2:05 That's just really funny
The baby throwing up when you toss it xD
One thing I absolutely missed in the sims 3 and the sims 4 was the action of buying clothes. My god that subtle little detail made a world difference for me! It gave me the motivation to actually take my sims out from time to time with the family or friends or whatever have you. I'd always have my university students buy clothes as they're studying so that when they return home they are a completely grown up/different person to the one that started on the first day. Then there was the realism of buying baby clothes or teen-phase clothes or even midlife crisis clothes lol, clothes for dates, too!
It's such a neat little detail that we all do in RL and it's beyond me why they removed it from the S3/S4.
7:41 When you're caught when trying to sneak out of restaurant without paying, next time you'll dine in there, there's a chance that waiter might drop your food on you. Sometimes even several times!
i have to check this on the game right now, this is the most amazing thing i read about the game o-O
I think they also do that if they are unskilled, or have a bad relationship with your sim.
Chris East Yeah, I think there’s risk of that happening every time you have a meal at restaurant, I just believe it’s the biggest when you didn’t pay for your meal last time :D
In the Sims 2, there is also a changeroom that has a security camera above, and when a sim goes in to change, the camera points through a hole on the top to watch them change
😈
Wow! Lol
he should show when 2 sims woohoo in the change room or even a hot tub in a public place! it's hilarious! other customers stand outside room and cheer them when they exit! BUT don't forget Mrs.Crumplebottom! Oh my SHE is a real hoot! And the cow plant too that's another funny thing.
Wait what
@@bestofsmall
The other games are severally lacking in Crumplebottom.
Something that happened to my character when she was pregnant. She was sleeping and a burglar broke in and the alarm went off. Because of the the stress, she lost her baby. It was sad as heck. She then had nightmares about the burglary afterward for a week. The realism in this game is amazing.
Miscarriage isn't in any of the Sims game by default, only via mods, though... I'm pretty sure you had/have InTeen in your game (or similar)
@@Mldy96 Yeah that’s wat I was gonna say
this series made me remember how i fell in love with the sims 2 back in 2015. i now play sims 4 & seeing all these details make me so happy. im definitely gonna buy the sims 2 soon
It ticks me off how Sims in future games don’t keep their wedding/engagement ring. I always had to go into cas in TS3 to give them wedding rings
Extending on the cashier animation: When the cashier has a low cashiering skill, the drawer will punch them in gut when it pops out.
As someone who works as a cashier, I can say that that is 100% realistic.
@@squirrelgadget3498
Likewise. Next level should have them pushing it back in with their gut instead. Multitasking!
Classic! XD
and if your waiting in line, you can become impatient and sometimes throw your shopping bag(s) on the ground and leave (Open for Business)
at 12:11 i like how the little kid is going into the helicoptor on his own.
I love your sims channel ! videos they always give me a boost of serotonin 😂
As someone who’s always played Sims 2 and always will, I’m happy and excited to see how popular Sims 2 seems to be getting again. 🥳
KIRSTYnotKRISTY I just re bought the sims 2! I don’t have a disk drive on my new computer and my stand alone drive disappeared so I had to find a digital copy and I finally did! I am so excited to start playing it again! It’s always been my favorite!
I even had to rebuy a few discs after my sister let her stepdaughter use them and her mother threw them away! I finally have all expansion packs again ... still working on stuff packs. They where all like... it's just an old game!😱 They have no idea how hard it's getting to replace these treasures!
Lynare Antoinette I managed to download the Ultimate Collection for free from EA years ago but still have all the original discs. I recently got my nieces into playing it and they love it. I got my discs from Amazon and eBay, they are my treasure!
Lover And Fighter how did u find it i rlly need it rn
mikayla crider I found it on EBay. Just looked up sims 2 full collection. The one I got was $7
One of my favorite features in sims 2 is that when sim uses a plastic surgery machine and changes the appearance his kid is based on how the sim looks before the surgery. You can't hide anything in this game haha
Meanwhile if you change the hair colour (and eyebrow colour) of the parents while mom is pregnant in sims 4, the baby inherits the dyed hair....come on EA.
It's because in The Sims 2 genetics and looks are two separate files. I believe in The Sims 4 it's just one. Which is a shame, I would love to see some recessive genes come through! I loved how how in TS2 kids could look a lot like their grandparents, if they had them!
TS2 really is the most in-depth when it comes to genetics. It's so rewarding to see what happens generations down the down when someone inherits grandma's recessive genes.
THIS! this is what I mean when I say I want more "realism" in the game. I love the small little details in the game.
What I liked about Sims 2 the most especially after coming from Sims 1 is how much more there was to do. It just has so many chores and everything. For some that's a negative but for me I liked that you actually had to work to get stuff done.
Honestly though I love the mundane😅
The transition from sims 1 to sims 2 is truly phenomenal. Not only did the graphics change from figures on flat plane to a completely 3D/plolygonal universe, but the animation and small details are really impressive. EA really outdid themselves with sims 2
And then fell downhill on 3 and fell off a cliff for sims 4
something I remember from waaaay back in ts2 was when I had one of my sims mothers die in a fire, her ghost began to haunt the house. And especially her Teen daughters room.
The daugther cried every day. She also woke up with nightmares. I was 9 and pretty much let my sims do their own thing and just watched. But eventually the father began to read his traumatised teen dauther to sleep. I had never seen that before. But everyime she was about to go to bed, he just immediatly stopped what he was doing (watching tv mostly i think) and walked up the stairs and started to read for her until she fell asleep. Is that a thing that can get triggered in the game??? I
Yeah that’s rare, I’ve never seen it or heard of it before. Beautiful though.
Oh, that sounds interesting. Yeah I've never seen that happen before, but I think Sims will automatically make their own sort of routine if they do something repeatedly for a certain amount of time. (I'm honestly not sure if the Sims 2 does that, but I know the Sims 4 does)
It's pretty crazy how personality, relationship, relevant skills and routines will make for such interactions. Especially that these things will happen naturally.
In TS4 it's only possible to read for toddlers. :( Also, it's not done automatically, as far as I've noticed.
Wow, AI was years ahead of time in TS2!
9:02 Holy shit, she picked up Sims Bustin Out, guess the sims team wasn’t always super obvious about what other games they have
3:21 Coraline finally got used to Wyborn.
Only a few of these aren’t from the base game, honestly the sims 2 base game was complete without the need for expansions, unlike sims 3&4
Also the beta version of sims 2 had rain and cars in the base game!! They had to remove it because the hardware at the time wasn’t capable
There are still remnants of the weather system in base Sims 2's code, as well as power and power outage mechanics.
I think I also saw remnants of a weight system, where parts of a house could collapse if not properly supported, but I'm not sure.
Actually sims 3’s base game is quite whole unless you just want a pack to have it, sunset valley is a beautiful town, the townies are great and have good stories, They careers are great and get more interactive, the lots are also amazing and all of the little things you can do.
But the thing is sims 2 does get bland without any packs if you play it all day every day, because you want apartments and plantsims and college. But the packs are all terribly over priced I like the game but in my own opinion take away all of sims 3 bugs and compare the games with all packs and without sims 3 is better 🤷♀️
Cutupuss sims 2 base game didnt have the hobbies, turn ons and turn offs, and the chemistry system so idk what your on about.
K-pop Junk THANK you people always bring that up talking about that game but at the end of the day to get a good game you have to put down ridiculous amounts of money
Can I just say? Thank you for giving the real reason behind the rain/cars being removed instead of spreading the tired (and disproven) "server fire" myth!
EDIT: Wait a minute, I just realized who I was replying to! I love your neighborhoods, they're so fun! Thanks for sharing such awesome stuff with the community!
I don't think you mentioned this one: when your sim practices a hobby, while they're idle they'll do an animation connected to their hobby (eg. my sim who practices ballet, while idling started doing ballet positions)
That's awesome! I really miss Sims 2. Might have to install it again 🤗
Ooooh I remember that one! TS2 is just the best!
Are you a Asian mum?
The realistic aspects of the game like your plants needing up keep, needing to purchase clothing, turn ons and turn off, basically the entirety of tha sims 2 is immaculate
I used to love the sims 2 so much. The emotions were satisfying and you actually cared to make stories. I used to watch the funny clips on the tvs. Also the community was incredible- there was a lot of mods and furniture and landscaping that enabled you to make interesting stories.. Yes the faces were not realistic but the gameplay was more amusing.
Sims 4 was getting us excited at the concept of seeing their emotions in the left hand corner that they forgot to give the sims mannerisms
th-cam.com/video/7Zl25ny5ViU/w-d-xo.html
These small, little tiny detail made the sim world really feel "alive", not just a simulation of robot that look like human.
Speechless!
I love that you used the Smiths from Strangetown, I loved them soo much
I REALLY miss buying stuff at the town :( I loved how one sim paid and the other put that on the cash register :((((( and also I really do miss NOT having everything, I miss going shopping :(
This game was made with so much care and thought. Love it
Same.
TS4: who are you?
TS2: *i'm you but stronger*
Seeing this over year after it was made but still amazing and the details in this game is incredible! I have never played TS2 but these videos just made me impulsivley buy all the packs lmaoo
