- I'm testing out the new story progression mod for The Sims 2! Now your families will age, get married, have babies, and more while you aren't there!

Sims 2 Story Progression by Lazy Duchess - lazyduchess.tu...
I am really impressed with the Sims 2 story progression mod. It's not as complex as Sims 3, but it does all the basics without being too complicated. It would be great for playing legacies or for people who just want to focus on a single family.

![All my Sims have the flu & I can't take it anymore. [Sims 2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/C_hAu4CA-6g/mqdefault.jpg)
I would've NEVER expected to get a mod like this for the Sims 2. Its been 16 years the game has been out and with the way the Sims 2 is coded I thought it would be impossible. I can't wait to play with this mod once its out of beta and compatible with more of my mods.
Same! I never even thought this was possible!
This made me want to only play sims 2 for a while! ❤️ I thought to myself just the other day that it should not be impossible to do this but it still feels unreal that it has finally happened after so many years!
I dislike sims 3 and sims 4 because of the story progression. So this is not for me, but its amazing that someone is able to make something like this. I would be nice for townies and premade sims though. But I think I am not going to risk it just for that.
@@carolien9076 sims 4 doesn't have story progression though? it just has aging for non-active sims which you can turn off
@@Mariana-mk2po this aged well haha
this video is sponsored by Mr. Humble's computers
😆 😆 😆
Please allow him to give you one for free!
Why can't we marry Mr. Humble? Lol. Flowers wilt, I would rather be brought a computer, haha.
😆
@@robroush2142 he is an object
literally the only reason i don't play sims 2 anymore is because of no story progression... i think this mod is a sign to get back into it!!
I hope you do!
Same! Now I can have a lot of babies and have them live all their lives with story progression!
@@viddeliten same, having babies is like the only thing I like to do in the sims lmao
Bruh. If modders can mod like this, Sims 4 is just a joke
And it's such an old game... Tf is EA doing with TS4??
sims 4 don`t motivate me looking for a work anymore
Facts! 🙌
The fact that some people try to back ea aswell
I already stopped playing Sims 4. For me this game died. My only mistake was that I gave the team a chance too often, but you never get back the Money you invested in this Game, buying it. Sad. Learned a lesson for Life.
It amazes me how the community hasn’t given up on this game. This goes to show you how much people really still love and cherish the game. EA may have given up, but us as players will never! I’m so excited to play with this mod!! Truly amazing ❤️
EA didn't give up they moved on to new things. That's how games work
@@saphirasimmer7032 Hm last time I checked, developers still update older games but hey 🤷🏽♀️
@@Jassssofalltradess Yea, some but I can also see it becoming expensive to update sims 3 sims 1, etc still. but I wish some things did come to sims 2 like celebrities or maybe futuristic things I'm not sure tho
Sims modders and alot of sims fans really are very smart, to be able to code like this. This mod is too much chaos for me tho XD..i need to control my playables 😈
Some day, unfortunately, I predict EA being so money-hungry that they start charging people playing Sims 2. Just to squeeze every last cent out of the "smart players", too.
literally what’s not possible in the sims 2???? i really love this community and what is capable of✨
Me too! It's crazy what can be accomplished!
Open World
Detailed CAS editing
@@Wooplot tea☕️
@@Wooplot Face slider mods exist now.
there’s no way someone could make the sims 2... BETTER😳 excited to find out and see !
I never knew something like this was possible. It's very impressive!
With this I can live without a sims5
HOLD ON WHAT........... that lack of the story progression was literally the only reason i dont play sims 2 so much BUT wHAT AHahRghAG iam so emotional rn thank ypu for videpo!!!!!
I know it was holding so many people back! I really hope that more people can enjoy the game now!
Same goes here
With this mod, nothing can defeat sims 2!
💙 💙 💙
All it needs is open world and online and its a KO
@@salleymudd5488 Open World, yes. But not every single player game has to be multiplayer.
"I'm just going to call him Andrew" and You are right, because Andrzej is actually Andrew in Polish 😊❤️ I love Your video and the idea of this mod❤️
also, if you want to pronounce it like it is in polish it would be something like 'andchey'
Or alternatively, it could be An-Jay, though that's using "normal" words rather than the phonetical pronunciation! "Drz" is pretty similar to English "J" and "ej" is essentially "ay/ey" c:
I was gonna say it's like Russian Andrey and Romanian Andrei
@@scalfire this is a very good explanation!
However, if you're ambitious enough, you can try pronouncing it while taking into account that "D" and "RZ" are actually separate sounds. It goes pretty much like shiraline said, but you pronounce the "D" like usual and then move on to a sound similar to French "j" (or "g" in words like "genre" or the French pronunciation of "visage"). So it goes "Aah-n-d-j-ay". :D
The way shiraline described is also in use, but mostly by people who don't speak clearly or those who have an "uneducated" manner of speaking. Most people would pronounce it clearly, the way I described. But as a simplified version, for someone who doesn't speak Polish, the first alternative is a very good way to start! :)
@@Squaretable22 it's Polish)
I’m glad this mod exists it makes legacies doable for me
I'm the same! I can't do legacies in Sims 2 because everything else stands still. But now it's possible!
thank you, now I know what to play next
@@Anna_M_numbers same 👀
I didn't even think of this, yes! finally spare great-great aunty judy will not be the same age as the current heir of the household and will have a life (and death) outside the legacy household
Me, the sims 2 player: Ew I wish we could have story progression.
Me now: *realising I’m a control freak in case of this game*
Lol, yeah, I hated story progression in 3 for that reason, I need to be the god of my sims, they aren't allowed to marry whoever or randomly drown 🤣
Yeah me too - no way I'd have that mod in my game. Still, it's a great bit of work.
100%!! I play sims 2 bc I feel that’s the game where you have ultimate control so to lose some of that control was weird haha. I like it though and which it was easier to turn on and off!
19:52 I didn't expect to see here a baby with Polish name
There’s actually a blonde teen guy (I think his name is Andrzej Harris or something) in the game as townie. It’s cool to see polish name tho❤️
I just wanna say I love your username
also same
Regarding firstborn syndrom: Lazyduchess who created this mod, also made a custom launcher for TS2 which solves this problem! It's just incredible how many interesting mods are still being made by the TS2 community, so many years after the game was released
She even made a fix that works without it, just in case :D
I LOVE that mod. (it's called RPC by Lazy Duchess on MTS for anyone wondering where to find it!) It's now possibly tied with ACR as my favorite mod. It fixes firstborn syndrome, the launcher is great and full screen borderless looks beautiful! (without the instability issues of regular full screen!) Also, it applies the 4gb patch every time it launches the game! This is great because for me the 4gb unapplied itself somehow constantly. I wish there was something like this for Sims City 4 which gives me the same problem with the 4gb patch. I'm never going back after having this wonderful mod
What's firstborn syndrome?
@@averymarshall6060 If I recall correctly, it's a bug that makes every child you have after the firstborn look the same if you end the session. Like, if you get one child, then quit the game and come back the next day and you have another child, it'll look the same as the first one instead of getting newly mixed genetics.
Can't stop laughing at Cassandras pregnancy! It's so typical her to wanna have babies
so now it's not necessary to play the Oldies family, I know well why you like this mod :D
LOL! You see right through me!
There are two Polish names in the name generator - Blazej (Błażej originally) and Andrzej. But I can't explain the pronunciation to you, it needs to be heard 😂 I guess it would be kind of like "An-jay", with "a" like in "star". And Andrew is actually the exact same name! :D
It amazes me that someone was actually able to make that mod! I was always sure the game mechanics made it impossible.
I've played the Sims 2 for over 10 years and I used to only ever play with one family, but since I found your channel, I've fallen in love with your playstyle and rotational control freak gameplay lol! So its probably not something I'll use at the moment but wow how my younger self would have adored this! I'm so incredibly impressed though, Lazy Duchess is extremely talented and this community is very lucky to have her.
"New sims 2 mod!" I'm sorry, in 2021? You guys have me out here downloading sims 2 mods again in 2021? A surprise but a welcome one to be sure.
I never stopped downloading Sims 2 community mods.
I don't see download button
@@saphirasimmer7032 the story progression mod is on lady duchess's discord. join the discord to download the latest version.
@@Human-hs8sp I couldn't get into the discord anymore
@@saphirasimmer7032 does the link not work for you?
For an added bit of Sims 3 feel you can also get a complete recreation of Sunset Valley, which from what I've played of it seems amazing.
Omg that would work so well with this mod!
@@adamw4894 If you google "Sunset Valley sims 2" it should come up, happy simming!
Wait, really?! DANG
I always go back to sims 2 when I’m bored with sims 4 (which happens a lot), this is exciting!
Same! And it's always nice to have a new game-changing mod to try out!
Oh my dear god. As someone who usually (tries to) stick to one family, this is an incredibly ambitious mod. And it's exactly what I've always wanted for Sims 2.
This mod is amazing, I’ve wanted something like this for years but I accepted it probably isn’t possible for the sims 2. Now I can do a legacy without the rest of the town just being frozen in time.
I haven't played Sims 2 in months, this literally changes everything 😭Thank you for posting this!!
Thank you for watching! 💙
I become more and more impressed with modders every day. It is amazing what they are able to do!
I actually want to cry, omg 😂 this is everything. Not having story progression is one of the main reasons why I don’t play much sims 2 anymore. I never thought the day would come.
When I saw the Tumblr post I literally scream 🤣 s2 modders are the best! 👏
They are!
THANK YOUUUUU FOR COVERING THIS SO SOON!!! I was debating whether or not I wanted to try it out already or wait a bit
There may be mod conflicts still, but I think it's definitely worth testing to see if you like it!
16:24 if you use Sims2RPC it'll automatically roll the pacifier at the beginning of each play session!
I love the chaos that this mod provides lol
Oh my god! Thats awesome. That'll make my Legacy challenge just so much less of a struggle. Thank you so much for introducing this!
I think this will be wonderful for legacies! It might even inspire me to play a legacy in Sims 2 for the first time!
@@PleasantSims YESSS PLEASE! I would love to watch it 😍
I'm afraid of the amount of pregnancies, gee! In general, I'm really happy with the lack of story progression in TS2, since I love rotational play. But this is really cool for a legacy challenge, probably wouldn't use it for anything else though. :'D It's still incredible it got made at all!! I love our TS2 community.
I realize you made this comment ages ago, but in case you don't know (or perhaps this wasn't available yet 6 months ago), you can adjust the frequency of pregnancies and relationships! It is a pretty incredible little mod, and LazyDuchess also made a game launcher/mod that, at least in my experience, seems to have the game running even smoother (and fixes the first born syndrome issue).
"Melba! Damn it!" " Leave right now!" I can't stop laughing!
Omg. My townies will totally marry the wrong npcs and break the game... XD
Oh, I speak Polish and that Andrzej caught me off guard! 🤣 You can read Andrzej as 'NJ' in English. But Andrew is on spot, it's basically that same name. :D
Okay, now The Sims 2 is fully the best game of the series!
This is truly amazing! I've always said I wanted to play Sims 2 again because of nostalgia (and just the amazing gameplay) but I couldn't get passed the fact that sims outside of your active household don't age. Moving out of your parents house and growing older than them just felt too weird lol.
“We’ve got a baby on the floor” 🤣🤣🤣
I am so happy to hear about this! I can't wait to see you tweaking this with your rules!
I might need a whole new ruleset for this. Lol. It changes everything!
wow, I remember back when freetime came out and allowed you to choose two townies to age up with your sim and I was so excited.. and now here we are
I also noticed that when Lucy aged up into a teen, she was automatically assigned an aspiration. Some might like that but some might not. Super cool mod tho!! I never played the sims 3 and this sounds like the kind of chaos I love hahaha
I'll probably not use this mod normally, but this could be fun for legacys!
Same
I can't wait to get my hands on this one. I am terrible at rotational play and many families shoot off into others and I can't handle them all.
Then this will be a great mod for you!
first off: thank u for making ts2 videos, is making me consider getting a new copy bc your vids remind me how fun it was (its been *14 years* since i played but oml it was. so fun)
secondly: andrzej = Andrei/Andre/Andrey/however you spell it
Thank you!!!
whoa! lazyduchess has been releasing must have mods for the last few months 😍😍😍 keep it up! thanks Cindy for covering this! can't wait to have my greedy paws on this
Shoutout to Lucy Burb for growing up and chosing BEAUTIFUL NORMAL clothes lol
Whenever one of my sim grow up, they have weird random clothes combinaison, like a crop top with a weird horse ridding pant lol
Now you can leave the Oldies to die without having to be bored with them 😆
My thoughts of Cassandra's neverending pregnancies is that maybe when she's having a baby due to story progression, it doesn't discharge her pregnancy. So it means that when you get back to her household, the babies are born, but Cassandra is still pregnant with her first pregnancy, idk if that sounds clear
it's so incredible to me how after all this time, you've still got massive game-changer mods like this coming out for TS2! i still find mods on the daily that make me go, "wow! you can DO that? in sims 2?" i love the creativity and passion of this community SO much.
oh, and i forgot to mention, on the subject of first born syndrome -- lazyduchess actually has a fix for that as well! granted, it comes packed into an entirely new, custom sims 2 launcher, but it supposedly fixes firstborn syndrome for good.
Wow, this mod is very impressive. I may try it out though I don’t really care about story progression. Thanks for the video tho!
I don't think that this is for me, but I love the concept and hope a lot of you have fun with it
I’ve never clicked so fast in my life 🤣
Thank you for watching Aimee!
This is a legendary day for the community that still plays the Sims 2, now there are no excuses✨
Oh Gosh, when you tried pronouncing "Andrzej" was hilarious. I just pronounce it as André LOL. LOL 22:15 - "Poor Herb 😒😒"
OMG this is amazing! It makes the game so much more alive - the time sync alone is one of the best features!
wowww time sync alone is huge. this is amazing, i love modders so much.
I love to play rotationally and control each family, but this is AMAZING. I stopped doing legacies because there wasn't a story progression. If I ever get in the mood for a legacy or if I want to play a couple families and not the whole hood I am most definitely going to get this!
Look, you've already convinced me to go back to Sims 2 and I'm having so much fun with it. The personalities jump out and it's so refreshing...but now you're telling me story progression???
I knew you'd be on top of this mod. Thanks for the quick update.
Thank you so much for watching! 💙
This is amazing❤️❤️ sims 5 needs to take notes that these are the things we want. I would LOVEE it if sims 5 allowed inactive sims to move house on their own, and renovate their existing house based on their funds (imagine them making a little baby room for a new birth!!)
I’m just now getting into the sims 2. I’ve always played sims 3 but the lag has finally got to me and I can’t anymore so I went back to the sims 2. I never realized how in depth the game is and how much more fun it is than any title in the franchise. The only thing holding me back was the lack of story progression but now we have it!!
Wow, this is so impressive! I never thought this could be done, it’s going to bring a whole new life into this game! Sims 2 modders are always pulling out the most amazing content! (Also, I was shocked that the modder’s tumblr says she is 19 years old... young to be so talented with programming.)
I can see a couple of little things that I might like to have work differently (like I’d rather not be notified who the father is when a sim becomes pregnant) and I’m curious about conflicts with other mods. But I haven’t been playing the sims for a while and this has got me interested enough to tempt me back into the game...
YESSS OH MY GOD!! This is one of the biggest downfalls I had playing The Sims 2 as I love to play generations on just one family and it would ruin the vibe for me knowing the other people in the neighborhood had to be aged up etc, fuck yeah shot Lazy Duchess and Cindy for showing us this (pulling through as always)
I am so excited all my sims 2. Generations kids can finally move on and live a life outside my family
I would LOVE to see you make a series with this mod!!!
This mod seems incredible! Even down to the game naming and putting the baby in the crib! Wow!
Few days ago I was actually searching for Sims 2 story progression cuz I was getting tired of switching between three divided households that's all bound by one family tree, really glad somebody made a mod after all these years :D
I prefer to play each household separately but I know this mod will make so many people happy!
I mostly stopped playing the TS2 after I started playing the TS3 and TS4, because I loved story progression so much. I tend to play one or two families where I micromanage everything, but with the Sims 2, that means you have one branch of the family on the second or third gen, and Grandma is still an adult the same age as her other less played kids. Thank you for making a video on this!
never ever ever thought i'd cry over a the sims mod, but this makes my childhood game literally perfect
19:51 This is a polish name 😂😂😂
Townies aging up has to be the best part of this. Hope they also marry/have kids so the pool constantly replenishes!
About the mod compatibility: I threw this mod on top of my "normal" downloads, after backing up my data. The only things I noticed, that are incompatible are almost all mods by piqiwi (parenting, holidays, afterschool/afterwork activities), community time project and chrishatch's alternate pregnancy controller. Though this was espected.
Angela and lillith weren't going to college in my save as well. Maybe it's something about their interests/personality.
Hii! Could you help me? 🙈Am I supposed to leave the folder structure as it is or unpack everything in the mod folder on the same level?
@@Arianagizycko Hi! I have the mod and its modules in a seperate folder in my downloads. You don't have to keep the original folder structure. I advise to not do that in fact. Longer strings of folders makes it harder for the game to read said folder. There are also readme-files, which will slow down the game unnecessarily. Just create a new folder in your downloads and plop dow the files you want. (I named mine "Z_Storyprogression", so it will load last.)
In the main folder of the mod-archive are the packages ld_storyprogression_common, ld_storyprogression_socials, ld_timesync, ld_timesync_token, ld_timesync_token_antilate. Those are the basis. You'll need them no matter what. Copy paste them to your new folder.
In the next folder of the archive are the modules for the mod. If you want the whole thing add ld_storyprogression_aging, ld_storyprogression_aspiration, ld_storyprogression_genderpref, ld_storyprogression_jobs, ld_storyprogression_pregnancies, ld_storyprogression_relationships, ld_storyprogression_uni to your new folder as well.
If you want to you can also "mute" some of the notifications. In the "Aging" sub-folder are optional packages, that disable the pop-up, but not the functionality. (e.g. "ld_noBabyPopup" will stop the game from telling you, that currently not played sims are having a baby.)
I hope this helps! :)
Andrzej Burb got me on the floor hahaha polish names in an english game are just too funny, and also your face when Herb died, lol! Thank you for making this video, the mod is pretty amazing!
Scripted events aside, Don peeping on Dina and her catching him was hilarious! Also, starting a new Pleasantview with Bella Goth at the wedding party? That sounds like an awesome alternate. Great vid and mod! #Sims
I couldn't believe my eyes when this video popped up in my notifications. I've wanted a story progression for the Sims 2 ever since trying it in Sims 3. This makes the game a whole new experience! Thank you for covering this and testing it out, Cindy :)
Wow, this will take The Sims 2 to an upper level! I wonder if it syncs the time between travels to community lots and vacations.
Holy crap a story progression mod for sims 2?? Sign me up
this is everything I EVER WANTED
What a great mod. My favourite household by far in Pleasantview is the Broke family, and there are times that I will start a new save and just play them, and I really wish that the other households will progress on their own, so I will be trying this out myself for sure. I look forward to seeing more videos like this.
This mod looks absolutely spectacular, especially with the rolling time between lots, but my micro-managing self would have a bit of a meltdown if I installed it now. I'll be watching it for updates, though:)
Oh my god!!!! LazyDuchess already made me so happy with her first born syndrome fix and now she left me speechless
This could be great for people interested in an uberhood but don't like how long the rotations are! Actually that could be a cool stream! Playing an uberhood (or just a megahood with the 3 base game hoods if you prefer) with story progression and hopping around to any household that you feel like, after all the best part of an uberhood is seeing how the premades from different hoods interact. That would be so fun!
I am really impressed with TS2 creators/modders for keeping the game going even after years since its latest expansion pack and last released. ACR, InTeen, and now TS2 Story Progression Mod show how dedicated the community are! Let not forget the numerous modders whom uploaded mod which fixes the game, mods that prevent corruption, mods that add spice into the gameplay and quality of life betterment mod.
I don't think I've clicked a video so fast this week. I can't wait to download and try this mod. Thanks for sharing Cindy!
omg my dream come true, finaly story progression in the sims 2, loved it in the sims 3 and wanted this mod for so long for the sims 2. thank you cindy for sharing this
About firstborn syndrome, this same modder has a launcher for the game that fixes it, and I use it (it's amazing!)
this is amazing, and so is LazyDuchess and all of their work!! they also did a custom TS2 launcher that fixes first-born syndrome for good, and adds customizable Discord rich presence!! the bug fix is available separately though too!!
I’ve been playing a legacy family in the sims 2 and it’s been annoying to have to go in and out of the game and sims PE to adjust ages of different sims whenever my household members aged up, this made my day thank you.
I'm really happy that a mod of this scale has been made for a 16 year old game! I love TS2, and it's funny because recently I've been playing it and I was thinking about how much I missed story progression with how demanding I found having to rotate between all the houses for consistencies sake, especially when i found myself not so invested in all the stories. I am so thankful to the creator for this, and you too for making this video!
I would LOVE a follow up video on how your other mods work with this!
It's so fun to see that The Sims 2 is still going strong after 17 years! I thought that this would never come to the game, but the modders community has done it once again and I'm beyond excited to try this mod!
This will be perfect for my new legacy challenge! I wonder if townies and NPCs will grow up and have kids too
this has changed the way i play sims 2 forever. Thank you so much.
I dont think I'd like the decisions some of my sims would make without me. In ts3, I felt as though it was more randomised than based off their personalities if that makes sense.
I am so impressed with this mod, Lazy Duchess is freakin AMAZING! I always thought this was impossible, and when I first saw it I was SHOOK!
Side note to Cindy - Not sure if you mention this in the video, but do you think that you'd ever edit or make new gameplay rules for playing a hood with SP? Once it's stable enough for a main hood? I want to play a hood with it but I'm lost haha! It'd be cool to see/hear what you'd do with your hoods in this new format, since it changes so much :)
Edit: Cindy, you mention firstborn syndrome - You do know Lazy Duchess has a mod that completely solves this, right? It's part of her RPC launcher post but I believe you can download it without having to have the launcher!
I'm shook!! This another example of how talented the sim community is!
Oh my god, I love this!! I don't personally like playing in that style and always turned story progression off in sims 3/4, but I'm tempted to try a clean maxis neighbourhood, perhaps a pleasantview+strangetown merged hood with the anygamestarter to see what happens in my game when I'm not controlling it all...! Thank you for this video. It's crazy but also amazing and I'm so thankful how alive and kicking the sims 2 community is still
I think I‘m speaking for every Sims 2 fan, that this is a mod we have been waiting for soooo long time! 😍
I have never felt inclined to try a uberhood before, but with this mod, I'm extremely tempted! I'm going to test it out with my other mods, but I'm so excited already!
