Played the sims 2 DS growing up...gave me literal nightmares!! Like what a crazy game, loved the experience though, you can't help but be engaged. But I'll always think back to the insanity that the game was 😂😂
For years, I thought I made up The Sims 2 DS port. Like it was some weird fever dream my mind made out of memories from the proper PC Sims 2. As I watch this, it's all flooding back. Getting abducted, wandering around the desert looking for nuclear rods, shoving over cows to get milk shakes.
Omg thats amazing !!! honestly its an insane game though it really is like something from a dream!!! But I wish I had played it sooner !! I'm so happy to hear my video unlocked a hidden memory for you, thank you for watching
Thank you for this video! The Sims 2 DS is one of my favorite games from my childhood, and I live every day with the soundtrack of Strange town looping in my head. The hotel concierge calling you "a time travelling cheater" is a line I quote with my brothers into our 20s.
Ah it’s a pleasure!!! Thank you for your comment ! Wish I had played it as a kid ! That soundtrack SLAPS! Also love that you and your brothers quote the concierge as adults!! Such an amazing game !!
The DS version absolutely scared the life out of me. From vacuuming, to superhero rats, to seduction of random sims, to that scary ass desert alien thing. So weird!!!
oh sjskshsj i forgot about honest jackson disappearing in sims 2 ds. there's a weirder explanation that i still take as valid and canon. he simply just falls through the floor and gets stuck forever in his office. so happy you played that version finally, now u know why i'm the way i am.
Poor honest ! We’ll that sounds cannon to me too cos when u call him he says he’s in the town hall !!! It all makes sense now !! Iconic !! What a game tho , the soundtrack is perfection !
@@prudencesoftyit's actually a bug that somehow wasn't noticed. There's also one that corrupts your pockets if you do the alien autopsy minigame. Both of these can actually be patched using cheat codes though!
The Sims 2 DS OST is VERY common background music for my streams. And one time, someone recognised the music, and we just fangirled. It was great. Thank you for covering these! I only played the Sims 2 DS, but it was absolute nightmare fuel for me as a kid, and I still adore the game to this day. I try to play it every now and then but I just... Can't get back into it. I'm not into real time games like I used to be. I don't even play Animal Crossing anymore. So that's a shame. But I still listen to the music A LOT. Like... So much... Might do it now... I love that the composer remastered them all and put it on TH-cam. Absolute legend there! I also have a tendancy to just... Click on any video that features or is about the game XD Which is good in this case, cos your video was really good and I enjoyed it a lot! Great video!
The soundtrack is perfect I love it so much, nice to hear u using it in streams too! We must spread the word about sims 2 DS !! I’m only 18 years too late 🥹 aw you’re so welcome I really enjoyed making it and hearing how many people love the DS version! Yeah real time games are tricky, animal crossing especially not sure why tho? my poor village had me for 300+ hours and now I’ve just disappeared for 3 years 🥹 the music is such a vibe tho and we have to Stan the composer we are blessed that he uploaded it all 🫶 I love listening to the urbz gba soundtrack too makes me feel like I’m a lil sim in the city going about my lil life 🥹 aw thank you so much I’m so lucky that my vid came up on your homepage ! To get a lovely comment like yours makes me so happy thank you for taking the time to comment!
I played The Sims 2 on the PSP and absolutely loved it. I made a mission to get all of the secrets (especially from the Dominion guy, since you can't talk to him after a certain point), and I actually got so into it that I replayed it a bunch of times and wrote a letter to EA about it (I was 12, I never sent it lmao). I also played The Sims 2 Pets, and The Sims 2 Castaway (both on the PSP). Castaway is more story driven, but Pets was a complete sandbox, nothing going on. The Goths weren't even in the game, it was weird. I have never seen anyone talk about the Pets game, but I guess it makes sense because there's not much to say about it.
The psp game is amazing I love it so much! Yeah don’t really get to know that much about old dr dominion tbh! Bless 12 year old you though 🥹 ahh I really wanna play sims 2 castaway !! I think I had sims 2 pets for the ds can’t really remember it tbh!
I really enjoyed sims pets 2 on the PS2. Lots of lore for different families on that one, and every piece of furniture. Had a unique 'city' to travel to :]
I came back to the Sims 2 GBA recently because I wanted to see if I could finally figure out the social interactions, and what I learned is that it works on a rate of success, and from there I figured out which social moves to spam (for Friendly, you just use Entertain, because the other ones don't reward you enough for the low rates of success; for Intimidate, Rude Gesture has both a high rate off success, and a high reward, so you only need to get it right a few times; For Romance, just spam Kiss for the same reason). As for minigames, you get skills in the desert area from the guy on the boat who sells skill books. They get expensive, but if you invest early, and get promoted, you'll be loaded by Ep. 4. Bigfoot Love Chickens and Car Commercial are especially lucrative at level 5.
yeah I feel like the conversations weren't explained properly ! yeah i noticed that by the time i was nearly done with the game that being rude worked better than annoy smh ! so weird tho why do they give you the option to purchase so many options when only a couple have high rates of success? Ah no way I bought some of them books but i guess I should've invested more in my career maybe then i would've actually had some money to play with and paid off optimum alfred no problem!!! I really appreciate this comment though, I'm sure it'll help some poor soul who decides to play the GBA game for the first time!!
ah me too they just hit different! The psp one is amazing I wish I had played it sooner! I really need to play the sims 1 and 2 for playstation I have only played bustin out as a kid! one day ill get to play em !!
glad I'm not the only one who found Sims 2 GBA frustrating as hell. Constantly had my eyes glued to a walkthrough playing it. Of all the portable games, I'd say Ubz on GBA is my favorite, but Sims 2 on PSP is GOATed 🗿
Haha no way I thought it was only me having to use a walkthrough? Glad it wasn’t though! It wasn’t a straightforward game AT ALL ! I will NEVER play on that game again the thought of intimidating the mummy and loosing fills me with dread! I’m glad to hear that! Urbz GBA is probably my favourite game of all time it’s perfect🥹 but yeah the PSP game is WILD 😌
I dont think i ever ised a walkthrough. I BARELY managed to unlock the last episode after years of playing. Loved the GBA port. Theres something captivating about being an actor, Truman Showing a whole town into submission
I played it as a kid before TH-cam and all that good stuff. I LOVED the game and played it a lot and did beat it multiple times (I think, memory is a bit fuzzy)
BANGER of a video prudebce! I played the sims 2 ds as a kid but didn't even realise how sinister the story was. Thank you for playing through and explaining the other games so i never have to play them ;P Also very funny ending XD
Thank u for the support oil 🥺 I know poor honest 🥺 where himb go? Hahahah you play psp one tho right ? Please just for the beezlebeef? Thanks I’m glad u liked the ending 🫶
I loved the Sims 2 DS growing up. Usually for the final battle with the robot, I use to use the glitches in the game to beat him. Also, I spent so much time in the gallery just painting awful paintings to see how gullible the townsfolk were to buy it (they never wanted my good paintings)
I loved the PSP and DS ports of Sims 2 as a child and always go back and play them every couple of years. I enjoyed getting more jokes as an adult too. The soundtrack for the DS slaps and is something I listen to on the reg, strange day is my alarm tone too lol. I actually played Sims 2 on PC for the first time recently (always strange town obvs) I made Annie Howell, The saloon and moved in Nervous Subject (reunited at last) and gave them a pet Pug named Night Beast. 😂 Thanks for making a video appreciating and recommending the games. I would recommend PSP sims be played on an emulator because on the PSP its verrry slow.
The psp and the ds versions of the sims are actually so amazing you’re so lucky to have played them as a child!! The music is so amazing too, we’re blessed that the creator has a Dropbox link to download all the music 🥹 strange day is your alarm!!! The sims 2 ds impact I love it!!! ALSO love that you made Annie in the pc version with a pug too omg!! The love story that could’ve been 💔 Aww you’re very welcome!!! Thank you for commenting I love hearing everyone’s thoughts on these games it makes it worth making this video 🫶!!
The DS version i played around when it came out and was my introduction to the series. (Weirdly enough) Later, i played the PC versions and the PS2 version of The Sims 2. From the portable versions based on the video, i think the PSP version is the weirdest. May have to emulate it on my phone to experience it for myself. I revisited the DS version recently, too, and I also emulated it on my phone.
The sims 2 ds wow what an amazing introduction to the sims!!! Yeah I defo recommend the PSP version, you have to play it!!! Init amazing that we can emulate these games on our phones!!!!
I have alot of fond memories of the sims 2 gba, it was my favorite game as a young child. The mission where your shrunk down to fight giant lady bugs was my favorite.
Thank you for talking about the time travel part of Sims 2 DS, when i was a kid no one would understand what i was talking about and all i did was change the clock back an hour for daylight savings
I loved the video!! I watched as much as I could and then had it in the background while I did work and chores. I'll watch the sections I missed visually again! I was so excited when it popped up on my homepage, and I'm happy to see a small creator doing deep vibes. Your commentary and presentation are upbeat and soothing! Looking forward to watching more of your videos :)
Oh thank you so much ! Im made up that you had my video playing in the background, cos I do that too!!!! 🥹 Im so glad that my vid came up on your TH-cam too, thank you for taking the time to watch and leaving me a lovely comment it’s so encouraging! Thank you again 🫶
i don’t know what it is about this video but i’ve watched it repeatedly. i’ve only played sims 2 on the DS and PSP but i’m so obsessed with the cast of characters, especially Giuseppi❤. i downloaded a custom sims 3 world that has all of them and all the versions of strangetown combine. thanks for reminding me of my favorite sims !!!
I've seen a few videos cover the sims 2 ds but no others have mentioned the mini game where you harvest and sell alien organs. thank you so much for mentioning it it's never left my mind after all these years
I'm always a big fan of the Sims console games that give us concrete goals to achieve. It's why I love Scenarios so much in the Sims 4, and why I'm sad there's so few of them! I need to learn how to make them because I love having in-game goals! "Just use a challenge someone made" yeah but that's not the same! I want the reward of unlocking something or getting some points for it! My adhd needs GOALS!
I remember having a literal list that I wrote down telling me which actions to perform when people did a certain gesture. Played that game so much haha.
Been playing ts2 for ds every once in a while since my childhood and have never seen the ghost painting or the ghost. Maybe its because of the german version?
I found it on the sims 2 wiki so if you set ur ds to January 11 2000 or December 31 2099 you’ll be able to buy it from the store not sure if it does anything though except for making a ghost spawn?
@@prudencesofty that is so weird i should research more stuff abt this game. Like the whole feed bigfoot and he makes the hotel guests happy thing. Never found out whats goin on there
@@ClaireFionaBarbucci wait I didn’t realise Bigfoot did that? Tbh I only remembered to build the basement last minute 🥹 bless Bigfoot tho just chilling down there 🥹
Sims 2 and Nintendogs were the first DS games I ever got alongside the classic pink DS. I loved playing it and being the rat hero 😂 I always got stuck at one point tho when the last boss is on the roof and the rat hero just isn't strong enough or maybe I'm just a wuss 😂
Omg the classic pink ds was so slay! And nah that last boss is really hard I only beat it once and I didn’t even record me beating him so I can’t even prove it 😭😭
The sims 2 DS I feel isn’t talked about enough. You’re the third person I’ve seen talking about it while the ps2 version is often spoken about. I own and occasionally play the DS port now that I’m not a child that isn’t frightened by the game. The game is so weird and the sims texts can be so brutal and mean that it makes me laugh. The aliens though are downright frightening. The music is so creepy and as someone on the spectrum, I’m sensitive to abnormal noises or sounds so while the aliens no longer scare me, the music does.
3:09 I actually own this game on the ds and really like it. I don’t remember the ghosts though or the killer robots and the Bigfoot and the time travel.
Ahhhh you will defo have to play it again!! With the ghost I found that out from the sims 2 wiki. I’ll copy the info here: “It can be found when the Cute Ghost Painting is placed in any room of the hotel. Once placed, the Ghost will emerge. The Cute Ghost Painting is a rare item that only stocks in the store on January 11, 2000 and December 31, 2099.” So if u set ur ds to those dates you can buy the picture! Bigfoot will be in the basement once u have built the secret warehouse! The killer robots aka optimum Alfred and his gang will be a guest in the penthouse once Ava Cadavra has left the hotel. And the time travel is just to speed the game up by changing the time on ur ds, so rooms will get built quicker as it runs on real time! Hope this helps!! You should definitely play this game again you won’t regret!!!
16:11 wait, so you mean after all these years I haven’t beaten The Sims 2 GBA? I thought I finished that game (or did I?). I do remember I didn’t think it was that good
Noooooo! Nah but seriously even if you haven’t done that final episode in my opinion you’ve beat the game! I don’t really want to play that final episode myself anyway 🤪
sims 2 on gba is so fun to me, i fucked around on it as a kid, but as an adult and actually doing the episodes and missions, its so so fun and awesome, and i really love it
I loved the Sims 2 on PSP and still go back and play it every now and then. I tried Sims 2 on DS on an emulator a few years ago and although it was different, I still enjoyed. Haven't tried the GBA lol
i played the GBA and DS version. the GBA was my absolute favorite. i loved the storylines and it was just fun for me. i liked the DS version too and focused more on running the hotel than the actual storylines lol. i wish these were talked about more because the storylines are truly fascinating. i wish they could make some modern sims games like these for the switch
You missed an even more confusing version Sims 2 Pets' for the GBA' the only Sims game I never finished' just couldn't figure out the purpose of the whole thing.
@@prudencesofty yeah I remember having the Ds version. I believe it had a story mode but after that there were just clients, right? That or i never finished it
When I was a kid I got the GBA version and I didn't know about the other versions and didn't find out they existed until recently nor knew they were different. I loved the GBA version I played it a bunch and beat it I don't think I had access to the internet at that time. And I think I played it on my ds.
It's inaccurate to call them ports, they're not that. They're spinoffs. My first GBA game was The Sims 2 and it's great, I wish more people played that one over the DS version.
Maybe i hated this port because i was verh much an adult. The real time aspect was useless for me and very frustrating to deal with. Want to know a real crime? People charging $42 USD on amazon for this game 🤦🏿♀️
looking at the comments thank god I wasn't the only who was scared of Sims 2 on the PSP growing up I just remembered Sims 2 on the PSP was one of the scariest game I've ever played as a kid and I cannot recall the reason as to why and now I finally remember
This is really random but have you ever played the sims 3 on the blackberry? It was pretty good from what i remember. I made an alien sim that just a regular sim with blue skin but i just pretended she was an alien lol and i tried to romance everyone
wait no??!! Im gonna have to look into it !!! I only just recently realised theres a load of mobile sims games which is insane !! but tbh if your sim isnt trying to romance with everyone youre not playing it right lol
@@prudencesofty i was trying to find a good emulator and a rom the other day. yeah there's so many sims mobile games, they did one for every sims 3 expansion up to supernatural i think. edit: i found some roms! i can send them to you if you like?
Wow I didn’t realise they invested so much into mobile games?!? I need to look intoo it even more now!!! Ahh that would be amazing if you could, but no worries if not! Smolchanart@gmail.com I saw a sims 2 castaway one the other day they actually look so fun!!!
I HOPE YOUR DREAM COMES TRUE COS THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! where would you set it tho some run down town in the north or like london, or maybe like a medieval market town with like castles and shit ? I need more info !!!!!
@@prudencesofty i'm thinking a dead town in london lol because that's what i know but i might take inspo from other places. i'm the main plot is gonna be about stopping the town from being gentrified by a daddy big bucks kinda guy
I actually can’t remember? Also Idk if I found a website with better images, (I’ll look into it tho) but I can see the pics on the fandom page ? the-sims-2-ds.fandom.com/wiki/Strangetown_Hotel
I never could beat the sims ds as a child, the game scared the shit out of me, especially when you don't play for a while and aliens appeared. I outta beat this game someday.
The Sims 2 DS was one of my favorite games of all time❤ Got the shit brand new in 05 and played the living hell out of it. I had the best time hunting for fuel rods😂
Lotta ppl call em ports idk? I guess games like the urbz, bustin out or sims 2 castaway would be classed a spin offs but the sims 2 has the same name as the pc game? Idk ?
I remember getting Ava mad at me inside of a pent house then she started destroying the furniture, so when I went to take a shower she destroyed the shower while I was in it. Then it showed my naked character with the blur on his crotch and froze my game. That was an interesting experience when I was 4 or 5
I didn't even know there was a Sims 2 for most of these! I only knew about the Playstation, Gameboy, and maybe (?) GameCube? (Were there Sims for that?)
I didn't play any of the weirdness that was the sims 2 ports. I did play The Sims Bustin Out as my first Sims experience and actually quite enjoyed that. This was quite an interesting bunch of ports... i dunno if i should be glad i didn't experience them or if I should actually experience them.
Sorry to ask, but what's an emulater? does it help play console games on the pc? If so, cool! Btw, I owned the PSP version, completed the game and absolutely loved it! it started it all actually because now i play sims 2 on pc. I also played Sims 2 for ds and it's fun!
Amazing video! I've played through all of these but the DS version is by far my fave. HOW did you get it to work? Every time I've tried to emulate the game I can't get the touch screen elements of the game to work on a computer.
Aw thank you so much I’m so glad u enjoyed my vid!!! I’m not sure what u mean? I can only click one part of the screen at a time cos I’m using a mouse. Like the main bit I had trouble with was the vacuuming but what parts of the game are u struggling with in regards to the touchscreen ? The emulator I use is melon ds if that’s any help?
hey I like this video (and the subject matter) very much but please put a 24db high pass filter at 80hz on your voice or at least stop handling your mic so much when recording
Thank you! I am working with a temporary setup atm which is kinda rubbish but it’ll improve when I eventually move house! And Tbh I had no idea about filters and things so I’ll work on it for next time and thank you for the advice !
I loved sims 2 DS. I wanted to play it the other day but I couldn’t find my copy. I must have sold it. So I nabbed a bargain copy’s of it from Vinted. I also got the game boy one and I also hate it. Why is it so complicated
Hey, I watched some of your videos. Can you speak a little louder or edit your voice so it sounds louder. I think that would make your videos make a great jump on quality. Great videos btw.
We all just made characters called Poo, right?
You’ve gotta call yourself poo in a game!! It’s the rule !!
Played the sims 2 DS growing up...gave me literal nightmares!! Like what a crazy game, loved the experience though, you can't help but be engaged. But I'll always think back to the insanity that the game was 😂😂
aw bless you but i see how it would give you nightmares its such an eerie game!! and tbh optimum alfred and his gang of robots are really scary!!
Same it was so weird it didn’t even feel like a sims game
The characters were really uncanny

May have to emulate it on my phone to experience it for myself.
I revisited the DS version recently, too, and I also emulated it on my phone.
The sims 2 ds wow what an amazing introduction to the sims!!! Yeah I defo recommend the PSP version, you have to play it!!! Init amazing that we can emulate these games on our phones!!!!
I have alot of fond memories of the sims 2 gba, it was my favorite game as a young child. The mission where your shrunk down to fight giant lady bugs was my favorite.
Tbh that episode where you’re tiny was the best one !!! I’m scared of bugs but that one was cool!!!!
Thank you for talking about the time travel part of Sims 2 DS, when i was a kid no one would understand what i was talking about and all i did was change the clock back an hour for daylight savings
I loved the video!! I watched as much as I could and then had it in the background while I did work and chores. I'll watch the sections I missed visually again! I was so excited when it popped up on my homepage, and I'm happy to see a small creator doing deep vibes. Your commentary and presentation are upbeat and soothing! Looking forward to watching more of your videos :)
Oh thank you so much ! Im made up that you had my video playing in the background, cos I do that too!!!! 🥹 Im so glad that my vid came up on your TH-cam too, thank you for taking the time to watch and leaving me a lovely comment it’s so encouraging! Thank you again 🫶
i don’t know what it is about this video but i’ve watched it repeatedly. i’ve only played sims 2 on the DS and PSP but i’m so obsessed with the cast of characters, especially Giuseppi❤. i downloaded a custom sims 3 world that has all of them and all the versions of strangetown combine. thanks for reminding me of my favorite sims !!!
I've seen a few videos cover the sims 2 ds but no others have mentioned the mini game where you harvest and sell alien organs. thank you so much for mentioning it it's never left my mind after all these years
I'm always a big fan of the Sims console games that give us concrete goals to achieve.
It's why I love Scenarios so much in the Sims 4, and why I'm sad there's so few of them! I need to learn how to make them because I love having in-game goals!
"Just use a challenge someone made" yeah but that's not the same! I want the reward of unlocking something or getting some points for it! My adhd needs GOALS!
This unlocked so many memories….I played every single game and this was like a flood of nostalgia
This was such a great retread of nostalgia for me, I played the DS and PSP versions growing up and loved 'em, this video was a fantastic watch!
I’m glad to hear that! Thank you so much that means the world to me 🥹🫶
Ayy you're welcome! Loving the other Sims content as well!
These games are wild
Right?!? Just don’t make games like these anymore 💔
The Sims 2 PSP just proves my point that EA could do another story for the sims 👀
Tank being zesty with his homophobic dad Buzz actually would make a lot of sense
I remember having a literal list that I wrote down telling me which actions to perform when people did a certain gesture. Played that game so much haha.
Omg that’s such a good idea! The sims2 ds is fantastic!
Sims 2 PSP is so GOOD! I loved learning more of the characters from the PC 😊
RIGHT!? The psp version is insanely good!!!
You deserve more subscribers! This video really brought back the nostalgia :)
Aw you’re sweet to say that thank you !! I’m enjoying the journey of growing on TH-cam 😊 and I’m really glad you enjoyed my vid!!
Been playing ts2 for ds every once in a while since my childhood and have never seen the ghost painting or the ghost. Maybe its because of the german version?
I found it on the sims 2 wiki so if you set ur ds to January 11 2000 or December 31 2099 you’ll be able to buy it from the store not sure if it does anything though except for making a ghost spawn?
@@prudencesofty that is so weird i should research more stuff abt this game. Like the whole feed bigfoot and he makes the hotel guests happy thing. Never found out whats goin on there
@@ClaireFionaBarbucci wait I didn’t realise Bigfoot did that? Tbh I only remembered to build the basement last minute 🥹 bless Bigfoot tho just chilling down there 🥹
@@prudencesofty idk if he actually does that but he says he does 🤔 didnt see an effect when i fed him. Hes still cute though
Hye thx for making these videos! Cool to have these spinoffs documented and reviewed around youtube
awww no problem thank you for watching i love playing them and talking about them xx
Sims 2 and Nintendogs were the first DS games I ever got alongside the classic pink DS. I loved playing it and being the rat hero 😂 I always got stuck at one point tho when the last boss is on the roof and the rat hero just isn't strong enough or maybe I'm just a wuss 😂
Omg the classic pink ds was so slay! And nah that last boss is really hard I only beat it once and I didn’t even record me beating him so I can’t even prove it 😭😭
40:03 tfw your Cow God gets kidnapped
The sims 2 DS I feel isn’t talked about enough. You’re the third person I’ve seen talking about it while the ps2 version is often spoken about. I own and occasionally play the DS port now that I’m not a child that isn’t frightened by the game.
The game is so weird and the sims texts can be so brutal and mean that it makes me laugh. The aliens though are downright frightening. The music is so creepy and as someone on the spectrum, I’m sensitive to abnormal noises or sounds so while the aliens no longer scare me, the music does.
3:09 I actually own this game on the ds and really like it. I don’t remember the ghosts though or the killer robots and the Bigfoot and the time travel.
Ahhhh you will defo have to play it again!! With the ghost I found that out from the sims 2 wiki. I’ll copy the info here:
“It can be found when the Cute Ghost Painting is placed in any room of the hotel. Once placed, the Ghost will emerge. The Cute Ghost Painting is a rare item that only stocks in the store on January 11, 2000 and December 31, 2099.”
So if u set ur ds to those dates you can buy the picture! Bigfoot will be in the basement once u have built the secret warehouse! The killer robots aka optimum Alfred and his gang will be a guest in the penthouse once Ava Cadavra has left the hotel. And the time travel is just to speed the game up by changing the time on ur ds, so rooms will get built quicker as it runs on real time!
Hope this helps!! You should definitely play this game again you won’t regret!!!
16:11 wait, so you mean after all these years I haven’t beaten The Sims 2 GBA? I thought I finished that game (or did I?). I do remember I didn’t think it was that good
Noooooo! Nah but seriously even if you haven’t done that final episode in my opinion you’ve beat the game! I don’t really want to play that final episode myself anyway 🤪
sims 2 on gba is so fun to me, i fucked around on it as a kid, but as an adult and actually doing the episodes and missions, its so so fun and awesome, and i really love it
I had both the GBA and PSP versions… I loved them 😭
I loved the Sims 2 on PSP and still go back and play it every now and then. I tried Sims 2 on DS on an emulator a few years ago and although it was different, I still enjoyed. Haven't tried the GBA lol
bro i got the sims 2 on DS for 5$ back in the day, online now it sells for 40 or 50 bucks
great narration & edits, subbed!
Aww thank you so much I appreciate it !! 🥹
'Got to gather some shite together' - I was mid rolling a doobie when I heard this and giggled, Thank u for your content
i wish i was as green and retired as mister smith
UGH ME TOO!!
i played the GBA and DS version. the GBA was my absolute favorite. i loved the storylines and it was just fun for me. i liked the DS version too and focused more on running the hotel than the actual storylines lol. i wish these were talked about more because the storylines are truly fascinating. i wish they could make some modern sims games like these for the switch
You missed an even more confusing version Sims 2 Pets' for the GBA' the only Sims game I never finished' just couldn't figure out the purpose of the whole thing.
Ah don’t worry I plan on covering that very soon 🤪 but lol yeah very confusing! I remember me and my sister playing on the ds version as kids!
@@prudencesofty yeah I remember having the Ds version. I believe it had a story mode but after that there were just clients, right? That or i never finished it
@@m.l.7558 I’m ngl I can’t remember much all I know was that u were a vet? But I will have to replay it I’m curious now 🥲
When I was a kid I got the GBA version and I didn't know about the other versions and didn't find out they existed until recently nor knew they were different. I loved the GBA version I played it a bunch and beat it I don't think I had access to the internet at that time. And I think I played it on my ds.
Jimmy the neck be looking like Gru without the nose
It's inaccurate to call them ports, they're not that. They're spinoffs. My first GBA game was The Sims 2 and it's great, I wish more people played that one over the DS version.
Your voice is so lovely to listen to in regards to commentary. Great video. Keep up the good work. I had it on the PSP and was like what the heck xD
Wow thank you for such a lovely comment !! You have made my week!!! 🥹🫶 I’m glad you enjoyed my video ! Love the psp game it’s so silly!!!
Maybe i hated this port because i was verh much an adult. The real time aspect was useless for me and very frustrating to deal with.
Want to know a real crime? People charging $42 USD on amazon for this game 🤦🏿♀️
looking at the comments thank god I wasn't the only who was scared of Sims 2 on the PSP
growing up I just remembered Sims 2 on the PSP was one of the scariest game I've ever played as a kid and I cannot recall the reason as to why and now I finally remember
This is really random but have you ever played the sims 3 on the blackberry? It was pretty good from what i remember. I made an alien sim that just a regular sim with blue skin but i just pretended she was an alien lol and i tried to romance everyone
wait no??!! Im gonna have to look into it !!! I only just recently realised theres a load of mobile sims games which is insane !! but tbh if your sim isnt trying to romance with everyone youre not playing it right lol
@@prudencesofty i was trying to find a good emulator and a rom the other day. yeah there's so many sims mobile games, they did one for every sims 3 expansion up to supernatural i think. edit: i found some roms! i can send them to you if you like?
Wow I didn’t realise they invested so much into mobile games?!? I need to look intoo it even more now!!! Ahh that would be amazing if you could, but no worries if not! Smolchanart@gmail.com
I saw a sims 2 castaway one the other day they actually look so fun!!!
My dream is to make a spiritual successor to the sims urbz handheld except its set in the uk lol
I HOPE YOUR DREAM COMES TRUE COS THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! where would you set it tho some run down town in the north or like london, or maybe like a medieval market town with like castles and shit ? I need more info !!!!!
@@prudencesofty i'm thinking a dead town in london lol because that's what i know but i might take inspo from other places. i'm the main plot is gonna be about stopping the town from being gentrified by a daddy big bucks kinda guy
@@Gleamiarts omg sounds amazing this is the urbz sequel the world deserves!! I need it to become a reality!
omg, where did you get such a high quality image like in 9:40 from the sims 2?! I would love to know
I actually can’t remember? Also Idk if I found a website with better images, (I’ll look into it tho) but I can see the pics on the fandom page ?
the-sims-2-ds.fandom.com/wiki/Strangetown_Hotel
@@prudencesofty THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG! I love your sims deep dives, subscribed
I never could beat the sims ds as a child, the game scared the shit out of me, especially when you don't play for a while and aliens appeared.
I outta beat this game someday.
The Sims 2 DS was one of my favorite games of all time❤ Got the shit brand new in 05 and played the living hell out of it. I had the best time hunting for fuel rods😂
Are these games really can be called ''ports'' if they're completely different games? Maybe better name for them would be spin-offs
Lotta ppl call em ports idk? I guess games like the urbz, bustin out or sims 2 castaway would be classed a spin offs but the sims 2 has the same name as the pc game? Idk ?
Not me as an adult still playing the Sims 2 on DS at least once a year to relive my childhood trauma and memories…
Never forget precious and beloved optimum Alfred
@@prudencesofty Ooba Deshna!!
I remember getting Ava mad at me inside of a pent house then she started destroying the furniture, so when I went to take a shower she destroyed the shower while I was in it. Then it showed my naked character with the blur on his crotch and froze my game. That was an interesting experience when I was 4 or 5
WAIT WHAT?!?!? I DON'T BELIEEVE YOU. I'm gonna try it to see if it works, for.... research purposes
Damn the nostalgia I get from Sims 2 DS
I didn't even know there was a Sims 2 for most of these! I only knew about the Playstation, Gameboy, and maybe (?) GameCube? (Were there Sims for that?)
Grew up on the gba one hated the ds one
same!! the gba one gives me so much memories of my old android tablet lol
i rly liked the sims 2 for psp and ds tbh :D
Great comparison
thank you!
I have never played any of these before. They look fun :)
Yeah they’re all fun even the gba version in its own way!!! You should deffo play them if you get a chance !!!
@Prudence Softy I have a PS2 and Nintendo DS laying around so I just need to nab the games :)
@@RosesTeaAndASD yeah !!! Get on eBay or get an emulator!!! You won’t regret it !!! 😊
I didn't play any of the weirdness that was the sims 2 ports. I did play The Sims Bustin Out as my first Sims experience and actually quite enjoyed that. This was quite an interesting bunch of ports... i dunno if i should be glad i didn't experience them or if I should actually experience them.
You should play them !!!!!
@@prudencesofty guess it couldn't hurt lol
The hands in the psp version are SO scary 😭
WAIT I NEVER NOTICED THAT ! DID THEY REALLY NEED TO MAKE THEM LIKE THAT 😭😭
Why does the texture on that magazine in his hand look like it's trying to switch from portrait to landscape mode... 2:20
wait what lmao I spent hours editing and playing this game and never noticed that what the heck hahah
I would pay good money for a switch remake of the ds sims2
I’d pay EVERYTHING for them to port any sims 2 game to the switch
40:00 wh... What the fuck... Almost glad I didn't play this cause I feel like that cow would have become a childhood trauma.
Having played all of these:
- GBA has the best story, mini-games and town
- DS has best mood
- PSP has best graphics, obviously
Sorry to ask, but what's an emulater? does it help play console games on the pc? If so, cool! Btw, I owned the PSP version, completed the game and absolutely loved it! it started it all actually because now i play sims 2 on pc. I also played Sims 2 for ds and it's fun!
Nice video! suscribed.
Thank you so much 🫶
Amazing video! I've played through all of these but the DS version is by far my fave. HOW did you get it to work? Every time I've tried to emulate the game I can't get the touch screen elements of the game to work on a computer.
specifically where you need to touch two or more parts of the screen at once
Aw thank you so much I’m so glad u enjoyed my vid!!! I’m not sure what u mean? I can only click one part of the screen at a time cos I’m using a mouse. Like the main bit I had trouble with was the vacuuming but what parts of the game are u struggling with in regards to the touchscreen ? The emulator I use is melon ds if that’s any help?
hey I like this video (and the subject matter) very much but please put a 24db high pass filter at 80hz on your voice or at least stop handling your mic so much when recording
Thank you! I am working with a temporary setup atm which is kinda rubbish but it’ll improve when I eventually move house! And Tbh I had no idea about filters and things so I’ll work on it for next time and thank you for the advice !
I loved sims 2 DS. I wanted to play it the other day but I couldn’t find my copy. I must have sold it. So I nabbed a bargain copy’s of it from Vinted. I also got the game boy one and I also hate it. Why is it so complicated
Aww no!! But I’m glad u get to play it again!!! Omg I DONT KNOW!! Honestly its so difficult and it could’ve been such a good game 💔
Honest Jackson vanishing in TS2 DS is a glitch
Hey, I watched some of your videos. Can you speak a little louder or edit your voice so it sounds louder. I think that would make your videos make a great jump on quality. Great videos btw.
I’ll make sure they’re louder in future!!! 🫡 thanks for checking out my channel and for the advice I really do appreciate it 🫶🫶
Great video !
Thank uuuu!!!!
that last part was so cunty n bitch i live for it 💕
LMAO omg i forgot i did that but ig i did slay
Great video!!
Thank you so much !!!
Good video 👌
Thank u I’m glad u enjoyed!
This is a fun video.
Thank u so much !!! I had fun making it!!
I never liked the DS or Gameboy version they never had the same charm as their original pc predecessors
Nice video but sheesh I’m having troubles with that accent😅 sometimes not even the subtitles helped 😂😭
It’s the curse of being British and growing up in Stoke on Trent 😥
@@prudencesofty hahaha I can hear that. Also English is my second language, so that wasn’t helping it either 😅🙈
Rat man is real
These Nintendo port Sim models look nothing like actual sims
slay 💅
Also, great video :)
Thank you so much 🫶
What's weird about them...? It's the sims.
