Sims 2 was actually somewhat of a challenge sometimes. You could get really unlucky, losing your job, setting your kitchen on fire, sims not able to sleep, turning insane. Wish Sims 4 would have this spirit
This! This is my main complaint with the Sims 4. In Sims 2 things like that just happened, in Sims 3 they did less, but it was easy to mess up your Sims’ life if you wanted to. Sims 4 is so easy, it’s literally hard to kill Sims or mess with their lives. You have to do so much in your head if you want drama, which I do because that’s just how I play the Sims lol
In Sims 2 I legitimately had a sim starve to death by accident because I took on too much and she got trapped in a cycle of being too tired to eat and too hungry to sleep. Could never happen in Sims 4 lol. Difficulty settings would be nice
@@valkyrie2832 Yes! I wanna have the drama back so badly, random things happening that destroy the perfect little lives of them without me plotting something with half of the neighbourhood that I need to play
@@samdaley8484 I had a sim starve to death while trying to get the last push towards his romantic interest.. He died just before asking his partner to move in and since he lived alone... RIP all that time I invested.. 😂
Olive Specter would be the perfect sim in Strangetown for Kevin to marry; she's at the top of her career, close to death and already has a garden full of graves
She would of been perfect for strangerview or whatever the one in sims 4 is called, I wish they added in the smith and curious and specters to sims 4 but they just added randoms and some weird story.
Sims 2 is like peak 2000's for me. I remember coming home from school, racing through my homework and playing sims all evening and listening to the Black Eyed Peas until I fell asleep.
I absolutely adore how the Sims in this version are just a little bit cursed. The direct in camera looks always kill me, especially when they look to camera after they've been paused ❤
I know it doesn't seem like it, but Sims 2 was just such a huge step up from Sims 1. It was incredible! Really, nothing will ever be like that again, like seeing it for the first time.
@@dabnisbrickey6527 I still remember playing it on our families computer because my mom was really into the sims back then and my god.

@@user-pp6kd7ut4k oh believe me I would have played it earlier too but I only got my first computer so late (I had the beautiful opportunity to try sims 1 at a friend's though, now I believe playing that for a few years would have fucked me up deeper lmao)

Lol, what? I remember when Sims 2 came out (I bought it instantly), I saw the clothes and thought "... why is Sims clothing always 20+ years behind...". It all looked like it was from the 70's or 80's and it bothered me I couldn't have sims that actually looked cool/beautiful clothing-wise. I had no internet yet and didn't know custom content existed. Man, was I joyful when I found out :D
Death. What can really be said about Death? Well, for one, he's a Taurus. He also enjoys long and windy walks on the beach. He describes himself as a horse lover, and prefers a lady on a pale horse to one in an overpriced SUV. But he notes that any interested parties should be gravely serious about starting new relationships, and that bringing along free friends for the other members of the apocalypse would be a preferable first date environment.
Grim Reaper’s bio in the Sims 2 reads: “Education: BA Human Development, University of Hawaii. Favorite Band: Styx. Short Piers: I like it when you take long walks.”
The most depressing thing about the sims 2 for me is I’m old enough to remember the cringe dramatic videos people were posting about their sims on TH-cam. About a good 75% of the videos involved the teen pregnancy mod and an emo boyfriend followed with MCR or some other god awful Emo band whining in the background, the boyfriend usually died, was an abuser or some other tragic shit. The other 25% was people recreating Twilight. 😂
On some level this is kinda ironic considering the original concept for the original Sims game was an architectural simulator called "Dollhouse" (name was later changed to The Sims due to Maxis execs thinking it was too feminine of a name and they'd lose too much of an audience) to be a companion piece to SimCity. The characters were originally just there to judge your builds and test the functionality of them, hence why there's a lot rating system in the first game. The direction for the game (and franchise as a whole) changed after test players expressed how much they loved playing with the characters and Maxis added a bit more to the life simulation part before the official release and expanded upon it with the expansion packs and the rest is history. It truly came full circle in the worst way
The Sims 1 is even eerier...the clown in Livin' Large that came and starved you out unless you put its picture over a fireplace, the kids that never aged and had to attend school daily lest they be sent off to military school, the random burglaries at night....I could go on.
Between the stuttering, the blaring Christmas music, and the flashing red date UI which I have never even seen before, the entire video was like having some kind of anxiety attack Please continue
I don't know why but for some reason saying "XYZ is such a mood/such a vibe" sounds like the most un-Kevin-like sentence ever uttered. Like I cant even imagine him saying it and I cant explain it. Like its such a "trendy teen/young adult" sentence, Kevin saying it is like my Polish babuszka unironically saying "Bingo was lit A.F. yesterday fam. It was madness bruv, the Welsh gials were cheating again so man took out his rambo on these opps and chinged dem man" with the roadman London accent
What's even better about this is that Vidcund is actually Jenny's brother, so he was kidnapped by the same guy who was homewrecking his sister's marriage
I love that every time Kevin plays Sims 2, he always makes sure to get that musical snowman decoration. It wouldn't be a Sims 2 vid without Frosty dancing to Jingle Bells as everything else spirals into chaos.
World: *absolutely destroyed beyond repair* Frosty: 🎶Jingle bells, jingle bells! Jingle all the way! Oh, how fun it is tonight ₩ⱧɆ₦ ₮ⱧɆ ₩ØⱤⱠĐ ₲ØɆ₴ Ʉ₱ ł₦ ₣Ⱡ₳₥Ɇ₴!🎶
Here's a little bit of Sims 2 trivia, the Sim that gets angry at you for spying on them with the telescope is always the first Sim created in the neighborhood (unless they're dead obviously, in which case it will be the sim created after them and so on and so forth) In Strangetown it's Vidcund Curious, and in Pleasantview it's Mortimer Goth. This actually lead a lot of people to think Mortimer was just an asshole, when it's how the game is programmed.
When Kevin's SIM refused to call the fire department and kept walking towards the fire, he was literally so hungry he was trying to eat whatever was in that burning microwave.
HOLY shit, imagine being trapped in some mad man's swimming pool, slow losing the strength to keep afloat, and as your last thoughts of your family drift through your mind, all you can hear is jazzy versions of Christmas tunes from a dancing snowman that your tormentor put next to the pool. Your last moments witnessed only by the dancing snowman, mocking you with his Christmas cheer.
"Ah, promotion, well done! Yeah, I'll vomit to that one!" omg I died at that part 😂 please keep playing the sims 2, all of your sims 2 videos are my favourite!!
I remember playing the sims 2 for the very first time when I was like 9 and bought expensive ass wallpaper and a toilet and my sim died of starvation. I didn't know what to do, it was a painful experience.
Fortunately for me, I first played the Sims 2 Pets on PS2 as my first sims game. if I remember correctly it gave a tutorial before letting you play... But I probably just bought the most expensive stuff first too lol
Useless Fun Fact: The neighbor will always be the living Sim from outside the household with the lowest NID. If you resurrect Seth Zaidi (you shouldn’t, it will corrupt your neighborhood), it will be him instead of Vidcund.
Anyone else find it extremely creepy that Vidcund ran out of Kevin's house before meeting him? It's almost like the ghost of Vidcund-future was trying to escape.
Sims 2 sounds like Sims Urbz, almost. I remember playing Sims Urbz as a kid and having an alien come in to use my toilet and they left a mess of green goo everywhere
Because I was so young I thought Pascal was a tomboy woman. Took me years to realise be was a man because of the pregnancy. I was confused by the alien pregnancy the 1st time.
Damn, if someone invited me over to a “party” that was just the two of us awkwardly standing in their living room with Christmas trance music blasting, terrible standup and endless crisps- *I’d definitely marry them on the spot.*
I laughed so hard I cried, and I couldn't stop laughing and crying. My 3 year old kept bringing me tissues and asking if I was okay. This video has definitely been the highlight of my day.
@@samurailevi49 That's what it's called anyway, idk why they called it Strangetown. Great game though. It scared the daylights out of me as a little kid.
@@shinobuily Yes it was very boring. But we didn't have a PC back then. That was only for rich people in my country at that time. I am from the Netherlands hahaha but when I see this I kind of get the nostalgia, because I did play Sims 3 on the Wii haha
that “party” reminds me of a house party i went to years ago where by the end it was just me and my friend left and we made paninis and a full salad at 4am whilst blasting ‘glamorous’ by fergie on a loop
Strangetown is my all time fav sims 2 town and having Kevin there is perfection, he should definitely visit Olive Specter and her graveyard she's like female Jim lmao can't wait for more eps!
Sims 2 got me through my teen years. I would play it all day, everyday lol Id get the new expansion packs when they came out but then I’d have to delete literally everything else from my computer just to have enough space to put the newest sims lol good times..
Coming back to this first video, it makes me realise how massive of a mistake it was for Vidcund to confront Kevin about spying on him with a telescope in the first place.
excuse me, as someone who played tons of sims 2 in middle school i can tell you the game perfectly pandered to my teenage angst and i'm well aware how depressing it is.
Imagine you go into a neighborhood, see an empty house with the occupant at work, and inside there's just a snowman radio BLASTING Christmas music at 3 AM.
Why do I get the feeling Kevin just gave us an accurate recreation of his house. Ovenless kitchen Singing snowman in an empty room And Kevin performing stand up to Anna while she stands there awkwardly. In all seriousness, this was hilarious.
In this episode Kevin gave an innocent lady ptsd, almost burnt his house down, got food poisoning, and murdered his neighbor whom he have been spying on. This is the first episode. Good stuff.
14:14 " 'If the point of playing The Sims 2 was to kill off all of your Sims, then you would be the world champion!' I'm gonna stop reading there" Kevin knows how to quit while he's ahead
My little brother gave me his old origin account so that I can play the Sims 2. I haven't played the game since I was maybe 5 years old until now. I forgot how hard it is to avoid death in this game until I played again! The Sims 4 really is a shell of how great the Sims used to be.
i miss this depth of game play , Sims 2 with Sims 4 graphics would be so amazing. even small details like them cuddling in bed was nice. and trying to get your kid into private school
Nobody talks about the sims 3. Its my favorite. Its like the best of both worlds while also being entirely different. Mainly with the open world aspect of it
I've been playing strangetown myself and seeing Kevin interact with famous characters like jenny smith and vidcund curious without a clue is so funny. Like, Kevin, vidcund hates you because you keep spying on him with the telescope 😂
@@crookedbuns Yeah there is this video of him running from the chaos he created some fan made it th-cam.com/video/8mkofgRW1II/w-d-xo.html it's very well done
I mean, it's a pretty good recreation of you, Kevin. The only problem is that it's too tan. I'm not being blinded by this sim's paleness, and therefore it's not a completely accurate recreation.
My cousins had this game. I played it on their depleted, terribly slow computer yet i loved every second of it. It was handrd down to me and i got to play properly on my own laptop. How time flies.
Great to see someone playing the game in a fun quirky way again. These days its all speed builds and perfect challenges, which I enjoy sometimes, but I like this way more!
Pro tip for Sims 2: increase characters head size to max, pick random default nose, and size settings resets on the other parts of the face, you can basically make their heads as big as you want
Sims 2 was actually somewhat of a challenge sometimes. You could get really unlucky, losing your job, setting your kitchen on fire, sims not able to sleep, turning insane. Wish Sims 4 would have this spirit

The true chaotic music of sims 2 is salsa, all veteran players know that! xD
Ya lol
Good? Bad? Neutral? Or the fourth one that Kevin seems to have invented by being himself? 😂
@@iamarok Definitely the latter, his own brand of chaotic 😅
@@ashleysteele1354 definitely 😂
Kevin: *spies on neighbors*
Also Kevin: Why does my neighbor keep coming over here and reprimanding me? I’m just spying on my neighbors!
I am so glad I am not the only one who noticed this hahaha
And that's how strangetown became strangerville
Useless Fun Fact: The neighbor will always be the living Sim from outside the household with the lowest NID. If you resurrect Seth Zaidi (you shouldn’t, it will corrupt your neighborhood), it will be him instead of Vidcund.
Anyone else find it extremely creepy that Vidcund ran out of Kevin's house before meeting him? It's almost like the ghost of Vidcund-future was trying to escape.
“Sorry dude, I didn’t realise I had my mic on, I was just practicing”
“Who the fuck practices Bop-It?!”
I’m fucking dying, that’s AMAZING
wait i just started the video and this brought back MEMORIES
edit: typo lol
all of the comedy night videos are pretty good
You should watch the comedy night videos lmao
@@FRICKTHEPIRATE comedy videos? More like bore ragnarok
What's the title of that video??
I remember playing it for the first time ever and joining the pregnant alien man household lmao I was so confused
Sims 2 sounds like Sims Urbz, almost. I remember playing Sims Urbz as a kid and having an alien come in to use my toilet and they left a mess of green goo everywhere
the curious family are just like that
Lmaoooo same 😂 I was a left a very confused 12 year old
@@DeathnoteBB yo the Sims Urbz was literally the best Gane ever when I was a kid.
Because I was so young I thought Pascal was a tomboy woman. Took me years to realise be was a man because of the pregnancy. I was confused by the alien pregnancy the 1st time.
I love how nearly everyone trying to create themselves always just ends up using the most attractive preset sim
How many times is Kevin gonna make that “the the (blank) family” mistake in this game

Congrats on the heart!!
Damn, if someone invited me over to a “party” that was just the two of us awkwardly standing in their living room with Christmas trance music blasting, terrible standup and endless crisps-
*I’d definitely marry them on the spot.*
I laughed so hard I cried, and I couldn't stop laughing and crying. My 3 year old kept bringing me tissues and asking if I was okay. This video has definitely been the highlight of my day.
Kevin O'Reilly, you should try out 'The Sims 2: Strangetown' on a DS emulator. It is in your best interest.
Or just the sims 2 for the DS in general.
I tend to agree with Joshua Bruno
I didn't know there were DS Sims games. *The more I know*
@@samurailevi49 That's what it's called anyway, idk why they called it Strangetown. Great game though. It scared the daylights out of me as a little kid.
@@istolethispfpsorry485 I used to have a fear of the sims aliens. I loved that DS game, but it also scared me.
“Loading the The TH-camr Family” sounds like Kevin has a stutter but only during that sentence in the same place everytime
Same thing happened when Kevin made Grogneck and he made that joke, I don't know if your copying his joke he made years ago or your just new.
I mean i have seen those videos but I don’t remember those specifically but it may be in my subconscious
@@Slacker420 Yeah prolly
The fact that the sims 2 is nearly 20 years old is quite depressing itself 😢
OMFG🥺
The fact that I am almost 20 and never played this (only the mobile version) 🥹🥹🥹 sad....
@@Miinafied this is so sad actually 😭😭 mobile sims are very boring
@@shinobuily Yes it was very boring. But we didn't have a PC back then. That was only for rich people in my country at that time. I am from the Netherlands hahaha but when I see this I kind of get the nostalgia, because I did play Sims 3 on the Wii haha
@@Miinafied I've actually never played ts2 either but it's because I'm too young 😭 my sister did tho
that “party” reminds me of a house party i went to years ago where by the end it was just me and my friend left and we made paninis and a full salad at 4am whilst blasting ‘glamorous’ by fergie on a loop
Sounds like a feckin hoot honestly.
That sounds awesome
Now that's a party!
@@MattyH1992 we were very drunk and wanted melted cheese, what more can i say
@@MattyH1992 never thought I'd read feckin and hoot together in one sentence lol
Strangetown is my all time fav sims 2 town and having Kevin there is perfection, he should definitely visit Olive Specter and her graveyard she's like female Jim lmao
can't wait for more eps!
Sims 2 got me through my teen years. I would play it all day, everyday lol Id get the new expansion packs when they came out but then I’d have to delete literally everything else from my computer just to have enough space to put the newest sims lol good times..
Minus sims expansions part.... basically im saying my pc is too full and i need more space but i cant cause its all games i play a lot so....
Lol I remember having to do the same 😅
We didn’t get to see Vidcund’s ghost… life is so unfair
*kevin:*
i don’t even have an oven, surely there’s not going to be a fire
*the sims 2:*
_bold of you to assume…._
Coming back to this first video, it makes me realise how massive of a mistake it was for Vidcund to confront Kevin about spying on him with a telescope in the first place.
excuse me, as someone who played tons of sims 2 in middle school i can tell you the game perfectly pandered to my teenage angst and i'm well aware how depressing it is.
I know, right?!
From the ages of 16-21, I was addicted to this game!
Kevin: *seduces Jenny Smith*
Also Kevin: *spends the last part of the video trying to murder her brother*
I mean she wanted to see his ghost so...
Imagine you go into a neighborhood, see an empty house with the occupant at work, and inside there's just a snowman radio BLASTING Christmas music at 3 AM.
Does Kevin just yell "Oh no STINKIES!" when he's going to take a shower irl?
Hey, who doesn't?
When he’s sorting his laundry lol
Why do I get the feeling Kevin just gave us an accurate
recreation of his house.
Ovenless kitchen
Singing snowman in an empty room
And Kevin performing stand up to Anna while she stands there awkwardly.
In all seriousness, this was hilarious.
In this episode Kevin gave an innocent lady ptsd, almost burnt his house down, got food poisoning, and murdered his neighbor whom he have been spying on.
This is the first episode. Good stuff.
"The neighborhood is so small!"
Can someone please tell Kevin that in the previous Sims games you could place additional lots!
And couldn't you make your own maps?
@@TheSpy149 yes, and the sims 2 had like 50 unique neighborhood templates.
@@TheSpy149 i remember a way where you could make a city on simcity and then import it into the sims 2
@@sol_in.victus Yeah, through sim city 4
14:14 " 'If the point of playing The Sims 2 was to kill off all of your Sims, then you would be the world champion!' I'm gonna stop reading there" Kevin knows how to quit while he's ahead
Spent this entire video quietly going out of my mind that a toaster oven kept being misidentified as a microwave. Disaster was inevitable.
toaster oven is a distinctly american convention
Kevin at the party: I'm father Christmas but you can call me daddy.
"Name's kevin, but you can call me saint nicholas!"
Strangetown may be strange, but it is still entirely unprepared for the level of strangeness Kevin brings.
My little brother gave me his old origin account so that I can play the Sims 2. I haven't played the game since I was maybe 5 years old until now. I forgot how hard it is to avoid death in this game until I played again! The Sims 4 really is a shell of how great the Sims used to be.
I love how the palest simtone is 50 shades darker than kevin
"Every now and then he turns to the camera and freaks the Hell out"
So much like his creator
Watching this after seeing how much things have devolved in only 4 months is giving me whiplash
And it just keeps getting better
What things have evolved in the past 4 months?
that ending where he's ominously digging a grave
Kevin is pure evil:P
Normal people: make christmas content on christmas
Kevin in june: Sure why not
feckin love ya mate
I always love how The Sims 2 has fluid animation and expression which the next two game lacks.
i laughed so hard i cried. this guy died of hunger on a date
The magic of Kevin
Within like 10 seconds, Kevin said chips and crisps while referring to the same thing and I just want to know where his true nationality lies
100% irish
@@UserAnonymus1995 lmao

uhm, he's actually bi-potato-snacks-person and would like to be referred as such thank you
@@hayatobun wtf lol
i miss this depth of game play , Sims 2 with Sims 4 graphics would be so amazing. even small details like them cuddling in bed was nice. and trying to get your kid into private school
Nobody talks about the sims 3. Its my favorite. Its like the best of both worlds while also being entirely different. Mainly with the open world aspect of it
Who else always has a great day when our leader Kevin saying "hey there friend's"
Sims 2 seemingly broke itself in advance out of pure fear of what was coming now that Callmekevin The TH-camr had entered the chat. 🥴
*the the youtuber
12:00 That man. He didn't know it then. But entering this lot was the worst mistake of his many lives.
16:24 We just not going to talk about how Jenny takes a leak on the vomit covered toilet then dips?
I've been playing strangetown myself and seeing Kevin interact with famous characters like jenny smith and vidcund curious without a clue is so funny. Like, Kevin, vidcund hates you because you keep spying on him with the telescope 😂
Vidcund is probably my favorite Sims 2 premade and the fact that he's Kevin's nemesis now lmao 😂
I know its always the first sim made in the neighborhood by the developers. Its mortimer, vidcund, and i think the old lemon sucker from veronaville
@@Papa_Khan who's the old lemon sucker? I'm currently playing veronaville and never seen that one
@@suavefresh49 Consort Capp is the shoving Sim in Veronaville
@@suavefresh49 Yeah Consort Capp looks like a lemon sucker to me lol
I love watching this back knowing how the Vidcund cinematic universe expands.
“ The sims 2 is more depressing than you remember.”

Poor you from what I hear it's like amnesia but it's not medically recognised so doctors don't even have anything to stop it from happening.
@@troll4life662 Yeah, well at least it’s better than ammesia
this is the one I played most when I was younger, how nostalgic~~
I still play the Sims 2 the most of the Sims games. No regrets :D It aged so well! Except the style of the furniture haha..

@@leon_atrewo Same. It’s legit the best of the Sims games. (TS4 is just embarrassing at this point.)

I kept waiting for him to die of food poisoning, After quitting without saving to avoid dying of starvation.
"Gotta go find Jenny."
I thought his name was CallMeKevin The The TH-camr, not Forrest Gump 😂
well he does a lot of running away from all the chaos he's created seems fitting xD
@@crookedbuns Yeah there is this video of him running from the chaos he created some fan made it th-cam.com/video/8mkofgRW1II/w-d-xo.html it's very well done
I mean, it's a pretty good recreation of you, Kevin. The only problem is that it's too tan. I'm not being blinded by this sim's paleness, and therefore it's not a completely accurate recreation.
I don't think any game could ever recreate Kevin's pale glow
@@sapphireblue4031 Sadly, I think you might be right. The Sims 4 gets pretty close, though.
My cousins had this game. I played it on their depleted, terribly slow computer yet i loved every second of it. It was handrd down to me and i got to play properly on my own laptop. How time flies.
I’d love to see more, we all have the want to see the ghost of Vidcund
Great to see someone playing the game in a fun quirky way again. These days its all speed builds and perfect challenges, which I enjoy sometimes, but I like this way more!
Im not telling anyone how to play, but if I see one more pretty CC sim clone my senses might shut down
I remember as a kid being so absorbed reading this game's "hidden lore"

"You like hard workers who are near death"
Anna, who is a world renowned hard working chess champion: " *what* "
So Vidcund's first appearance actually was from INSIDE THE HOUSE
That was a foreshadow that Kev did not see coming. Nor Vidcund.
Pro tip for Sims 2: increase characters head size to max, pick random default nose, and size settings resets on the other parts of the face, you can basically make their heads as big as you want
"is something burning?"
"Oh, that's just my l o i n s for you, Jenny Smith "
I have not laughed that hard in a LONG time. You really are goddamn hilarious, Kevin. I'm so glad I found you XD
Who will tell Kevin that that is NOT a microwave but an electric oven?
“This game has a god complex”
You’re literally playing The Sims; who really has the god complex? 😂
Sims 2 was my childhood, and it was the last sims game to mix goofiness with "real life" stuff.
I already remembered it in a pretty depressing way, trust me.
