So glad everyone is speaking up recently and going back to show off the older games. Especially after the sims 5 may be online announcements (we all know ea can bungle this) Going back to the old games and showing off their prowess sends a strong message and im glad the community is coming together to show maxis what we really want With para lives inbound, they may just get their act together
I wasn't old enough to play the Sims 2 when it was properly out and I'd really like to get it to see what the other simmers did back then. I played Sims 3 base game and I play Sims 4 with a fair amount of packs. I want to take a blast in the past though!
I still play the Sims 2. Even without the nostalgia factor, you can't beat that gameplay. When you have all of the expansions and hundreds, if not thousands of mods, you could build and do anything. The fact that I've been playing it for 16 years is a testament to how great it is.
@Slender Man You can also change what is played on both the radio and TV. Paintings too. Great stuff for when you wanna turn the entire game medieval and don't want modern music. 👌🏽
Shae I thinks it’s the opposite. Everything inthe old sims were so surface value un realistic and half of the so called game play of potato looking people was rabbit hole after rabbit hole
One thing about being homeschooled though.. You don't feel the greatness of being able to stay home when you're sick Lol I'm not trying to be one of those people who edit their comment and scream about their likes, but why did this get so many likes..?
Ok Vixella , here's a refresher course. When a customer is in the store, you go up to them and try to sell them the product. That's one of the funnist parts. The better you treat your customers the higher the loyalty. You can build your own store. It's better to have little stores. Put cheap stuff in the middle and expensive stuff on the sides. Hire employees, schedule them, and sell, sell, sell!
Sims 5 should just be sims 2 with Sims 4 graphics Edit: i do realize that adding such in depth gameplay like on the sims 2 with sims 4 graphics and CAS will cause lag. But maybe the graphics could be in between? I dont know, but i dont think its too much to ask for, especially because paralives is coming for the sims 4
@@yarik7877 nah not really. I'll give sims 4 props on CAS. it's amazing but i do think the grahpics should be an in-between sims 3 and 4 graphics. Like a mix of cartoons and realistic.

@@Sara-dp5dg i agree. The sims 2 was focused on gameplay and AI, while the sims 4 is more focused on CC and graphics. I just want a game where the graphics and gameplay are equally mixed, if it's not too much work.
@@tachometer-flac i wouldn't say so. I think laptops now a days can handle the sims. I have the cheapest dell computer and most of the expansion packs and if im being honest the game worked just fine before the legacy update
ea has more control and they don't give a f about the franchise anymore. which is probably why they didn't even bother with continuing the story line in the Sims 4
@GoTi4No Having the open world after the endless loading screens of 1 and 2, makes 3 the best sims game ever, imo. The attention to the animation in 2 was amazing, but in my experience you were kind of confined, you had to spend lots of time in the same place, whilst everything went soo smoothly with 3. You could have sim 1 do what you wanted them to do at home whilst letting sim 2 visit the park.
@@Roozyj have you tried nrass mods? Im on a mac and it runs pretty good no lag, just sometimes freezes. Also theres a new mod out thats called fast loading fix or something
I loved Open for Business! I remember one time I built a vegetarian restaurant that was green themed and had plants everywhere, I loooved it! I need to get Sims 2 working on my PC...
I grew up with Sims 1, I was 8 when it came out. Somehow even though I obviously also played a lot of Sims 2 back in the day, I just recently started the game again and actually enjoyed the content from open for business. Somehow I've managed to never experience the whole amount of possible gameplay in the Sims 2 and I absolutely fell in love with the owning a business part. It's just amazing and it made me enjoy the grade of detail put in the Sims 2 game in general.
When I create a family who are gonna start a home business, I have their living area locked away from everyone not in the household. I spend a lot of money on items for the business area and get some of those ticket poles. Then, I decorate both areas slowly as I get the money! That's the fun way to play, like a challenge for becoming wealthy!
12:12 Pressing the M-or N-key will cause objects to go to the next layout in the same grid :) . At first I thought it would be the M key, but it also works for 3 and 4 and there M-key takes them to the neighborhood view, so it's probably N-key rather than M-key.
Oh thank YOU for doing this in 2020 because I just started playing The Sims 2 on PC this WEEK after playing all the PS2 The Sims 2 games when I was younger and I need updated learning sources. Also you're a lot of fun!

Imma be honest with yall the Sims 2 just makes me feel very creative with the history, the sims 4 just makes me do beautiful Sims and then i dont know what to do
I really enjoyed open for business. I started a home business- it was a flower shop. I tried to sell a flower that costed 100k and it took a week before someone bought it.
This is one of the best. My friend and I used to alternate buying the packs, when I waited for a new pack to come out after open for business (bc that’s what we had to do) I could’ve died. The only pack I could not wait for so I bought my own lol. No wonder they use origin now
One thing my mom said she would have liked to be added was a warning if one of your employees is unhappy. Like "This job really is starting to annoy me. If things don't change soon I will quit!" The mood of your employees can change quickly and it was quite often one would just leave without you having any kind of clue that they are unhappy.
Yeah, you can only see their mood in the little circle above their heads (basically a round plumbob) but you can easily get distracted and not pay enough attention to see it change to deep red, and that really sucks.
unfortunately my open for business isn't working on my computer so I cannot play it :( hopefully my other expansion packs work because i have a ton edit: OK IT WORKS NOW
Yep... Sims 4 Get to Work is seriously lacking in what sort of stores you can make. I see, however, that to this day whether it is Sims 2 or Sims 4, you get the best TV and add the best console and what do you get? A townie produces a remote control and puts it on the Kids Network.

I loved this pack so much! Didn't care about the stores, but I made bank charging visitors to my sims' house. Why oh why didn't that feature make it to the Sims 4?
I agree the Sims 2 is probably my overall favorite Sims. Open for Business was the only Sims game where I could have a sim become a self-made millionaire without using any cheats. Exploits, yes, but no cheats. I would love Sims 3 more, except that I would always get the Error 13 when I would save even after playing for a short session.
A few years ago, I got sims 2 pets on my ps2. I HATED IT. I COULDN'T FIND OUT HOW TO DO ANYTHING! Now seeing you play and have so much fun, I want to try and find it in the unknown depths of the boxes in the barn (my mother's doing).
Марк the sims 4 system is trash for business . The sims 2 system was great , And you had to keep up with your business , you could decide cheap , Kinda expensive , and then expensive . It was cool how much detail went into the business and your workers .
I remember starting a home business for my sims cuz having a baby while going to work is such a mess and hiring a nanny doesn't actually do anything except theyre just watching TV all the time 😂
A really good time management game is delicious from I think gamehouse or something like that it’s on the App Store and oh my god it’s so fun but you have to fine the ones that let watch an ad to play instead of paying for the whole game. Um I recently started playing the road trip one and it gives a good challenge like stressful but fun
I'd a rather specific question for sims 2 business, regarding the proceeds of a hair salon. So i build up a hair salon. By now, i have reached lvl 10 in my business (for a long time already). I have around 400 loyaltiy stars. I have 3 employees, who all have the golden batch in styling. One of them has even more batches and she's my manager. All of them are paid fairly. Now the problem is, i can only make profit, if my sim works alone. With my employees, the income is only about what they cost me. Barely any different in how i scale my prices. And if i just let them work alone and just call my manager regularly, they also make no money. Customers always seem to come im waves. 1 maybe 2 per shift but it's never enough to keep all employees busy enough to actually make money and not only cost. What do i miss here, since my store should actually serve everything a perfect salon needs?

Girl you need to get in position to smell the flowers ok,so dont judge the process
Does anyone have a genuine answer to why the older sims games had more detail?
They put more effort into making them!
ea corrupts and squeezes the life out of their franchises the longer they hold onto them, thus rushed and shallow packs with less content
ea has more control and they don't give a f about the franchise anymore. which is probably why they didn't even bother with continuing the story line in the Sims 4
I think is bc maxis dont work with them anymore
The creator of Sims left the project after Sims 2. Ea has been just rolling with it
Looking back at all of this, I'm starting to realize Sims 2 is the superior game out of them all.
Yes and sims 3

I would love to see a Sims 2 gameplay of some sort! 💕
I would literally love to watch you do a whole series just running a toy shop or something in this expansion!
Sims 4 just needs to up their game
Very
my FAVORITE videos have been these sims 2 vids lately, i’m absolutely living for them especially from Vixella
"Well since you were rude to me.."
Me:That's better then any sim iv ever made 😕😨
I remember my mom absolutely loving this. Sims 2 was one of the games our mom played just as if not more than we did.
the thing I love from this sims 2 expansion pack is that we can open business at our home without have to buy a new lot.
The peak of the sims is this:
Me in school looking at everyone being able to focus
“You’ll get there someday sweetie, someday... but not today.”

9:23 you can, there is an item (think it's called the Electrono Ticket Booth or something) in the same tab as you find the till in Buy Mode.
9:30 Yes, you can charge people for being in your lot. You need to a buy a ticket machine.
