It continues to amaze me how much you do in just ONE day of gameplay. I always do the same things and play the same way, I also speed through households I get bored in. Watching your videos has really changed the way I play for the best! I rarely get bored now!
Love the Lillard kid names ! I hope they won't struggle too much with money with an additional kids and the gardener to pay as well. Useful cheat to check babies genetics when they're born : "simdna [first name]"
Thank you ❤ I hope so too, children tend to eat money for breakfast, but both Randy and Tosha's jobs are moving along nicely so there's hope 😊 Wow thank you for sharing that cheat, never heard of it, but it sounds really useful!
Looks like you've got a proper baby boom on your hands! That's really exciting. 😄🥰 And that outfit for Tosha at the end was so cute, really perfect for her. 😍 I think I've said it for every episode these sims were in, but Tosha and Randy are just so wholesome! ❤
Haha yeah! I've gone a couple of days with only two babies being born (Hope Vicious and Riley Copur) so it was sort of pent up I suppose 😂 It's one of the most exciting parts of the game, getting new sims from sims you love ❤ Thank you, I agree they are such a sweet couple, I really love the two of them together. I know you've only added in the adult townies so far into your series, but have you considered the teens and children too? Not that I want to encourage throwing the kids into a postapocalyptic world where they have to fight to survive, but you know, they're really awesome sims the lot of them 🥰
@@AniBats Yeah, I totally agree, after all these years it's still so exciting when a new baby is born into a family you love. ❤ And well, this is going to be a bit of a spoiler maybe, but I'm going to tell it anyway. 😊 I am planning on adding in the children as toddlers when the couples move to their new houses, one by one. So we are going to see little Tosha and little Randy and all the others, growing up in these new families. The ages will be mixed up a bit, but I didn't really mind about that this time. The n-hood where the big brother house was, was actually a copy of this one. So all of them are present and ready to jump into the story when the first couples move to their new houses. And the idea is they will grow up to become the teenagers that we see at the end of that Big Brother video where I show my favorite families. It's one of the reasons I can hardly wait for the next phase to start, but it won't be long now. 🥰
Thank you for another great episode! Was so exited to see Randy's in action, I was worried for him about getting money from it but the plates of food were so expensive! I loved to see Gordon patronizing Randy's as well. "Just a sweet old man, buying some soup for his employies" No daubt scouping out the place. I hope Dustin in not told to con randy into buying expired food or something, or worse. You are right at Dustin needs the stable connection, now that his life seem to hang in such a thin line. If all fall to the ground he might be able to work for Randy. Eirin might look a lot like Brandi Lillard, but to me it seems like her soul is more close to Jan Tellerman. Eirin could end up being the next social lead in the town. She might get to spend some time with Jan, as Komei is in the nursing home. I'm glad tosha got some clothing on her legs! She must have been freezing in the autumn weather. A cute make over as always. Thank you again, Ani :)
Thank you for another kind and supportive comment, you're always so sweet 🥰❤ I was actually surprised at the prices of the food too, but it's great! It makes sense, I think that the pricing is similar for baked goods as well. Haha yeah, seeing Gordon moving around the hood like a kind and benevolent grandpa is both funny and horrifying 😂 Oooh buying expired food, now that would be terrible, but definitely a plan Gordon and his group could hatch! I think that Dustin has a crossroads in front of him, and Randy is definitely a stepping stone onto the right path, together with Dustin's family. He actually does have good support, but question is if he will use it. Wow I LOVE your perspective on Eirin and her similarities to her grandmothers - that's just the sweetest thing! I think you're right too, she does seem to embody Jan's spirit - or maybe a nice mix of both Jan and Komei actually ❤ Haha good point on Tosha needing something warmer, you're absolutely right! So glad she has actual pants and a warm sweater now to cozy up in 🥰
I guess the prices fit for the restaurant selling one dish rather than 6. It is great as there is even more opportunities for buisnesses. You are right abput her also having similarities with komei! I think she might be my favorite child sims of yours with Jocasta as the 2.🎉
You're on a roll! Loved this episode, great to see Randy's business coming along and their family growing. I'm surprised how much you managed to make in that sort of business on the first day, I have a couple businesses selling dishes like that and find it challenging. I didn't know that fairly paid regulator also lets you hands-free reassign employees - that went straight in my downloads! I always use SimWardrobe's Timeclock which has the fairly paid regulator feature as well as some other cool ones as well as quite a nice model, but I had been really longing for that functionality and find the Business Runs You controller to be overkill. Does the Daily Gardener mod work for you? I have it and no conflicts but it doesn't seem to work for me, I still have several days with weeds growing tall and the gardener nowhere to be seen! I hope Tosha can start to find some time for her hobby again, especially with all those vacation days. Also, you may want to double check that the sims actually get the vacation days when using that mod that lets you choose which parent gets it because I often find that when I choose the father, he doesn't actually get them so I have to add them with the SimManipulator. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next episode as always💚
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰 It was actually a pretty good day for him, but to be fair I think it was mostly because he cooked most dishes the day before, and that I have Epi's mod to lower wages for employees. The food plates do draw in a good chunk of money each though, so as long as he can keep up with the cooking, he should be able to bring in a couple of thousand simoleons a day down the line I hope. Yeah it's actually a pretty neat mod since it's such a quick and easy way to switch workers between tasks. It was a while since I used the gardener and paid attention to it 🤔 The Landgraabs, the Pleasants and the Goths are the only other families in Pleasantview with a gardener (I think), and I haven't thought of the gardener not appearing every day... But I haven't paid enough attention to it either - having a lot of families to go through and only playing 1 day does that I suppose. I'll keep it in mind moving forward and will let you know ❤ I am pretty sure that I checked Dirk's days after I had given him the parental leave, and it had applied them, but I don't think I checked Randy's days. Thank you for letting me know about the issue, I'll pay closer attention to it from now on, and thank you for letting me know it can be resolved with the SimManipulator. 🥰
Always happy to get a new video :D I have to say, I LOVE the idea of Randy's catering business. So clever! The ideia that you get to play these sims later and find Randy's food in their inventory is just so fun, I love it. And he cooks some pretty nice stuff, that tomato soup looks gourgeos. Amazing! That friend outing was very fun, and made me think about a couple of things. First of all, yes, Randy is a better choice to donate dna to sophie's baby 'cause Ricky just has way too much going on baby wise, but I too have no idea how Tosha would feel about it. I guess that remains to be seen. Very nice to see Dustin with actual friends. Maybe that's what he needs, a glimpse at how good life can be outside of the shitstorm he's been riding. Will thatbe enough though? I don't know, we'll see. And I was curious to see Dirk is Randy's friend, because I can see the whole Malcolm thing becoming a point of disagreement between them. I'm curious to see what happens if that ever becomes a topic between them. Dirk has very strong opinions, and Randy couldn't have made his dream business without Malcom, sooooo... Yeah, that would be a conversation for sure. And the new baby! I love new babies, what a cutie
Thank you so much, Gaby 🥰 Yeah that's actually a nice bonus that families will end up with dinner to stock their fridges with - well cooked food too. Yeah exactly - I think Randy would be up for it, no worries, but if they decide to go down that path, it's not only his decision to make. The thing is pretty complex I think because for people like Randy, it's not just donate and ignore but he would want to get involved with the child's life in some way no doubt, and that could be heartbreaking for Tosha. If it were a couple like Don and Nina it wouldn't be any issues whatsoever, but even though they are both highly maternal, Tosha is very different from Nina. Yeah, I think that Dustin has a crossroads in front of him and he eventually will have to commit to either path. Randy is definitely something, together with Dustin's family, that could make him make the right choice, but you're right that it's not for sure that it will be enough. Good point on Dirk! I was actually thinking about this too while editing, and I definitely think that it would be an issue in future. For now, it's probably a topic that Dirk avoids like the plague, and I think Randy doesn't know about Dirk's attitude towards Malcolm yet, but that would definitely change quickly. Miki is so adorable, can't wait to see her grow up ❤ Thank you for your sweet, kind and insightful comment
Love your series per usual! would you ever do a video on where you get your modern CC? (specifically furniture and clothes? I use tumblr but their search is soo bad and the cc finds simblrs are hard to follow bc it's random. I'm struggling to make my game look modern like yours so I'd rly appreciate that if you ever do it!
Thank you 🥰 I already made one for my CAS cc: th-cam.com/video/MLG-H8mXbSQ/w-d-xo.html I also made a Pinterest Board for easy access: www.pinterest.se/anionebats/cas-favorite-ts2-custom-content-2022/ The idea is that I should make 2 more of these: one for buy and one for build, but I currenlty have too many exciting projects going on that it's ended up on the backburner. What I can say though for my furniture is that I got most of it by binge downloading JodelieJodelie's amazing lots: jodeliejodelie.tumblr.com/
Yeah! I try to keep it so that it's close to 1 day = 1 year. It's: B: 0-1 (2 days), To: 2-4 (3 days), C: 5-10 (6 days), Te: 11-17 (7 days), YA: 18-25 (8 days), A: 26-60 (35 days), E: x days . Then I keep my pregnancy at 18 hours to reflect 9 months.
This game The Sims 2 was released sometime back at 2005 (I think). If my memory serves me well, I played this game from 2007 till the end of lives of this game. Never expected to see this game anymore in 2023. Where do you get this game? My game version was like run on many CD-ROMs depending on the numbers of DLCs. Of all the games from The Sims to The Sims 4, The Sims 2 got to be the BEST, where you can create charactors down to the core. My mum had played with me and she created the BEST ladies charactors.
Aw it's so sweet that you played sims 2 with your mum ❤ I have memories of playing with my mum too, but it was sims 1 - she tried it out back when it was just released and I was fascinated by how she built houses and wanted to do everything the same as her. Unfortunately, EA don't sell Sims 2 anymore so it's considered abandonware. I think the best way to get it nowadays is looking into the Reddit r/sims2help and navigate your way via the pinned comment at the top. They are super helpful on that page too if you have any questions. But something that I will say is that sims 2 doesn't run smoothly on most modern computers, so I do recommend that you look into getting at least the 4 GB patch, and the Graphics Rules Maker (to make the game recognize your computer's graphics card etc.)
It continues to amaze me how much you do in just ONE day of gameplay. I always do the same things and play the same way, I also speed through households I get bored in. Watching your videos has really changed the way I play for the best! I rarely get bored now!
Aw thank you, that's so incredilbly moving and it makes me glad 🥰❤
Always makes me so happy seeing you uploaded a new video! Love your content Ani 💕
Aw thank you so much 🥰❤

Another fantastic episode 🥰
Pleasantview looks nice this time of year :p
Thank you for another great episode!

such a nice little family! i loved this episode a lot. and it was super interesting to see the bakery lot being ran
Thank you, Nervo 🥰❤

Do you have a custom lifespan for your sims? I'm looking at changing mine so looking for ideas :)
Yeah! I try to keep it so that it's close to 1 day = 1 year. It's: B: 0-1 (2 days), To: 2-4 (3 days), C: 5-10 (6 days), Te: 11-17 (7 days), YA: 18-25 (8 days), A: 26-60 (35 days), E: x days . Then I keep my pregnancy at 18 hours to reflect 9 months.

There was a time when you could download The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection from Origin for free. Nowadays people download the game from other websites.
