what are you on about, have we watched the same video? ts2 had an amazing graphics, hell some of ts2 objects had higher poly count than ts4 base game objects.
On new years my friends and I went into a deep dive conversation on our nostalgia childhood games. The sims two was the first sims game I asked for and played myself (my aunt introduced me to the sims one and I watched her play it) and I brought up the sims barbecuing babies after we all had a couple of shots. It started a whole thing for the rest of the night which was even more funny when more friends came over later, sober, watching us laugh randomly about barbecued children. Also my friends, while they had played the sims was unaware of that tombstone cheat/ mod and I had to look up a video of the sim actually barbecuing and eating the baby.
Watching her place all those bushes in the Sims 2 was so stressful knowing that if you were to play with that house, it's a full time job trimming them/you'll have to hire a Gardner to come every other day 😅
@@kiminimuchu__ yeah, i was too. like, it's a fun additional thing that rich sims can spend money on. now it feels like after your sim hits 30k there's nothing they can spend it on that they don't have already
She should make a Sims 2 let’s play. It would be fun for us to see her cute reactions to all the differences between sims 4 or even sims 2. I would love to see that. Anyone else agree?
Sims 2 definitely requires you to build bigger and wider houses than what we can do in sims 4, because of sizing and slotting and stuff. Which I think explains why EA houses are classically known to be huge and empty 😂
@@BeatrizSilva-hz7hf update: on further investigation, they ARE fine with nightstands. however if you queue up "cook tv dinner" and "sleep" they are uh so smart they will go to bed in the middle. now the house is on fire. :|
@@Ardelin_ oh yeah definitely have some issues with cooking ahahah. Also with throwing away the trash, if interrupted sims just leave the trash there and the good old roaches appear 🙃
Sims 2 build tip: you place a driveway extension inside the garage structure in order to place the garage door. That said, using the space for a bedroom and bathroom was a much better choice
Yeah it doesn't really make that too intuitive with naming it "extension". It's really just the indoor part of the driveway. I typically made my garages into a conversion anyway just like this. Like yeah it used to be a garage but now it's an ensuite or family/play room.
@@Eventide215 I mean, You could use it outside. And you could make it for the road to be longer (so it "extend") I think that is why it is called that.
Imo, the art style from TS2 is still unmatched. It was so good for the period it's from, and I think it balanced perfectly between realism and cartoony. I'd love to see a move back towards that style.
With the graphics quality available today, styles much more realistic than the sims 4 look pretty uh… uncanny? Like alpha cc or the sims 3, the photorealistic images on flat textures just feels so icky, and if they put the extra effort into detailed texturing, it’d never come out 😭
Honestly "alpha" Custom Cotnent for the Sims 4 honestly feel like they would fit far better in either Sims 2 and or 3. The look of the Sims 4 has honestly grown on me while the older ones look dated and thus old to me.
@@Montisaquadeis To be fair, this is not always true as GTA IV and V still hold up quite well, despite the fact that IV came out in early 2008, with V coming out in late 2013.
what i want more than ANYTHING for the sims is a nostalgia pack. just full of all the iconic stuff from earlier sims games like the heart bed, ts2 career items. for ts3 i’d love it if they brought some of the classic basic furniture back featuring the iconic create a style patterns like the ocean pattern that i can still see in my dreams 💀💀💀💀
There's the heart bed in one of the new TS4 packs, but it's folded and supposed to be one of the things that sims would keep in their basement as a memory. Kinda sweet though
As someone who started on the tale end of the original Sims, and the beginning of Sims 2, It is so weird to see it again, and remember the hours I would spend in it. It's also INSANE to me that people started with Sims 3 or even Sims 4, like I can't compute that they didn't experience all that the Sims was. There were so many fun things in The original Sims, like the scuba tank. I remember being SO confused and frustrated when the Sims 3 didn't have house phones, is that right? it's been so long.
@Savanna I just checked, There were no house phones in the Sims 3, everyone had cell phones, pre-university, they were an older model, but it was all cell phones. THATS CRAZY

@@ILuvAyeAye at the same time, kind of dumb to gatekeep what can and can't be added in a later game just because it's already been added in an older one

Aren't like...almost all sims 4 packs and kits just sims 2 copies... not being shady btw just genuine question like I just recently switched to sims 2 after years of playing exclusively sims 4 and I was shockedddd at how well stocked it is ?? Even without any cc its got what took the sims 4 so long to get.
I’ve gotta say as a long time Sims 2 player and builder it’s sooo nice to see someone who isn’t too familiar with TS2 really giving it a fair shot! It’s hard to build in the game you’re not familiar with, I actually have the same problem if I try to build in TS4! I would really love to see a video where you maybe try out some of the different build mode cheats for TS2 that let you do a little bit more (quarter tile placement, off grid etc) and see what else you can do!
Just so you know in the future, the Sims 2 dormers are basically just rooms! And you could have just made the garage bigger to fit the driveway extension ❤
the thing everyone always forgets about the sims 2 was the body shop. i've always been a builder in the sims but ts2 body shop made me want to make sims just so i could make them band shirts that i couldn't have in real life
Kayla, you don't know how much your videos help me with my anxiety! I'm from Portugal so I get a notification every day at 8pm (like right now) and I just stop everything to come watch your new video. Thank you so much ❤
Another fun video Kayla! As an avid Sims 2 player for many years, one of the cool things about the wallpaper is that some choices help sims skill building or moods. The kids wallpaper for example helped them learn. It was pretty awesome !😅
The Sims (original) was my first Sims game. That loading screen gives me such nostalgia. I saved enough money to buy the mansion without cheats. Good times.
a pool table would be SO GOOD in sims 4. with that and the basement stuff and some other things you could really make a basement game room/man cave room. i love that
Oh the nostalgia! I remember always putting love seats in front of the television so that I could center them. And it cracked me up that you gave up on the garage once you realized you needed a garage floor for it to work!
it is so coool to visit the past games/entertainment. Last week i decided to rewatch gilmore girls and it is so cool to see people actively using crt tube tvs, pagers, LANDLINES and huge cellphones. Like, its been so long ive seen one of those in person, nostalgia hit me hard
I didn't play 1, but I love watching people attempt builds, especially build the same challenges across the other incarnations and Sims 1. It is so funny to watch! It had to be so hard to build well.
@@WelcomeApathy It really was! Don't even get me started. 😅 James Turner actually did a small series where he went from Sims 4 to Sims 1 and built the same house in each of them. Really interesting to see the progression!
lilsimsie is so young! 😭 I was born in '89 (I'm old, I know), so I grew up with the Sims 1. I was a bit late to the game (ha ha) for Sims 4 and only got it a year or two ago, but I was so amazed that every sim just gets a smartphone and I didn't have to place a landline phone somewhere in the house! 🤣 I'm also so, so glad they got rid of some of the things I hated: the school bus/carpool thing so you can now send your sims to school/work late, the random burglars that come and steal your stuff, and the loud, ominous DA-DUH sound when something bad happens. That always made me jump! The tragic clown has always been a thing, but it used to be that he showed up when you were having a party.
14:46 this is the moment that I realized that I can convert anyone to loving the Sims 2, it is the best version of all of the games! Thank you for doing this because this is everything for me. I am an OG simmer played the original and was super thrilled when Sims 2 was going to have fingers instead of flat weird hands and I still play the game and I’m 42! My oldest daughter is almost 20, just so you have some kind of understanding of how close in age you are to her. I’m so super happy that you enjoyed the sims 2, even briefly I’m trying to get my 13-year-old to love the game too but she’s still too far into Sims four to care.
I did not expect to relate to so much of her nostalgia, being a person who only played the Sims 3 and now the Sims 4. I remember being able to color/pattern things differently than the set swatches, and having those little kids’ play kitchens.
i laughed out loud so many times throughout this video! thanks for always posting great content! You're so creative to continuously come up with all these ideas for builds!
@@abrisc32 I found ur comment funny and true then I saw all of your comments are the same thing hating, that’s rly sad mate watching a sims youtuber just to copy paste the same comments (ironic considering said comments are about doing the same thing)💀

@@abrisc32 so your solution to a youtuber you don’t enjoy is to waste your time watching videos you don’t like boosting said youtuber with your views and comments in the process 🤔 suuuure if you’re so bored you wanna be a hater to pass the time just admit it lol
Sims 2 was my first sims game, and I still play it more than Sims 4 today! The simplicity!!! The chaos!!! But it never had upper cabinets except for like a few decorative plate racks and a nectar shelf!! But I remember getting sims 3 and it had upper cabinets and I was so amazed 🤣🤣 I would love to see you do a main channel legacy gameplay in sims 2 or a rotational gameplay series would be amazing too! ❤️ Lovely video Simsie!! 😍😍
It was so fun seeing you find all the neat stuff from Sims 2! It was my first Sims game, and even though I haven't played it as intensely as others, I still love that game. The decor and personality of Sims 2 with the upgraded building options of Sims 4 would make the perfect Sims game imo 🎯
Honestly, ALOT of the items from TS4 are from TS2 and with the new kits, they are adding more of them! I absolutely LOVE the items in TS2 and I wish EA would just add more of the same wallpapers and the freetime items as they are soo much fun!
sims 2 is literally my whole entire childhood the sleepless nights I had 🤣 luckily I managed to buy all the packs from ebay and its been so amazing to play after so many years. love your videos ❤
i love these trips down memory lane! my first sims game was mysims wii and my first pc sims game was the sims 2! i may be a year younger, but i have an older sibling and her best friend introduced us to the games. it took 3 hours to download on our crappy pc and then would constantly crash while in game 😅 i wasn't allowed to play/couldn't afford the sims 3, but i did play mysims kingdom, the ds format mysims games, and i love playing the sims 4 :)
I would actually love waaaay more sims 3 content, since it’s also the game I started playing with. Like a full on Let’s play series in the Sims 3 would be so so cool!!!
Love seeing you enjoying Sims 2. I loved it back in the day. I'd build giant castles and everything. I struggle to get the same kind of buildings done in the Sims 4 (3 floors are just not enough). I loved controlling the entire neighborhood, playing with each family for a couple of days to keep the timelines correct.
I enjoyed this video! The front door you used for The Sims 2 house is the one I frequently used for back doors in smaller homes. And you used my favorite countertops! This video is heartwarmingly nostalgic! And also The Sims 4 is the only version of The Sims that I have never played. So, I enjoy watching content that catches me up on what I have missed throughout the years. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I hope one day they make a megasupersonic Sims version that has all of the best things from every game to make The Mother of All Sims Games 😎
watching her to figure out in Sims 2 is hilarious, because thats me when I play Sims 4. I played Simes 1 and 2 so much that Sims 4 overwhemles me. so many options, Sims 2 was much easier to coordinate for me....but than maybe I ma just getting old.
for the sims 5 i hope we get the graphics of sims 4 but the gameplay of sims 2 and the color wheel from sims 3. That would be superior edit: I would love to see you do this in the sims 3 instead of sims 2 my frist sims game was also sims 3 so it would be really nostalgic
There's some interesting pre-made house builds in the bin(?) options in neighborhood view in Sims2. May be fun to judge or reno any of those. Or compare some packs and items between the two games.
Few days ago I installed Sims 3 on my husband's PC and was like 'is this terrain paint still loading?' but nope, it just went way downhill from Sims 2, that we managed to run in 2k on Windows 11, took some time but it was so worth it. I like Sims 2 graphics style, it's really detailed considering how old this game is. Also how on earth it never crossed my mind that you can use cheats to place stuff on half tiles in Sims 2?!
its so funny to me seeing kayla going through the ts2 catalog and finding all the stuff in ts3, where i'm seeing some of the stuff she's pulling out like omg they updated that and brought it into 4 😂 so nostalgic 🥺
I never got to play any of the sims games as a kid but this gives me so much joy to watch. Also this whole game and the style is giving my grandmas house in like 2006 😂in that absolute best way. Like I want to go hug her, make cookies, and watch Saturday morning cartoons.
and i 100% want to be able to change the cabinet and counter color separately. and it'd be nice to have a cabinet or drawers option for counters like, y'know, a real life kitchen has
When making garages, have you thought of using the DIY Garage Mural from City Living? It's not perfect, and only visible from outside but mostly works for looking like a garage, and has the added bonus of being something your Sims can paint on.
Ngl, seeing this video brought back so much nostalgia 😭 I grew up playing sims 2 because my mom had all the expansions. So while I was really young when it came out (born in 2000 ✌️) it was the game of my childhood. Seeing the tile swatches really unlocked memories.
Showing my age here, but: I started simming on the first game. So for me, the advancements in build mode from the sims 1 to the sims 2 was unprecedented! Being able to rotate the camera freely was also a big deal. Many key features of this game come from the sims 2, imo.
obviously having create a style or something similar would be ideal for future sims updates and games, but just having that option to change the color of the cabinets and counter tops (plus some other in this game) separately would add more to the sims 4 so easily!
This is completely unrelated to the video, but I wanted to reach out on the off chance that you might see this and speak out, because a lot of people ignore us console players, but EA listens to you, at least somewhat. If you speak out and people start to motice this, they may just fix it. The most recent update has been the SECOND time this year that an update has completely changed, and completely wrecked the controls. We can't do some things we used to be able to (such as zoom in the free cam mode for our screenshots) because they have switched the triggers for switching between sims and toggling the time. Those controls have been the same for years, and while it may not be as difficult to adjust to for newer players, it is so difficult for veteran players like me who've been playing consistently for years. So many people have given feedback, after the sims summit update they wrecked the controls, and it wasnt until the most recent update that they even ACKNOWLEDGED it despite how outraged console simmers were. And it's because nobody seems to know, or even care about the fact that we can barely play the game anymore. They supposedly 'fixed' build mode but decided we can't have nice things and changed the controls to live mode. I've had friends playing on hyperspeed, notice a sim is hysterical and about to die, and in their struggle to pause time they just ended up switching between sims and their sim dies anyway, qhich likely wouldn't have happened otherwose. Because they changed the controls to 'match cas' but they should have just chabged the cas controls if they did that. They wouldn't do this kind of thing to PC players because they know that there would be outrage, but it really seems like they dont care about console players. We don't even have a sim guru that specifically works on the console version, and a lot of feedback comments on the thread where they ASKED FOR FEEDBACK, have been taken down on account of 'trolling'. (I saw a screenshot of one such post but it was absolutely valid) It's really sad to see them shoving us to the side like this. Again. You don't have to cover this if you see it Kayla, but even if only a few people see this I would be happy because at least word of these issues is somehow getting out there, even if it's not a lot of people.
I was born in 2005 and yet the sims 2 was my original sims game. I played it from my very young childhood up until my mid-teen years. I still have a huge soft spot for it.
I have been watching Simsie for a few years and I have to say my dream is to see her play Sims 1 or even the older console games. all of them are so different from what we have now I would LOVE to see her reaction to them and how weird and even more adult those games were
I got such nice nostalgic vibes from this. I orginally played the sims and grew up with sims literally from being 6 years old. So this was my childhood
Sims 2 somehow looks more "realistic" if it does make sense. I love sims 4 but it's somehow bubbly art made compared to sims 2. Perfect game would be vibe and art style from sims 2, customization and open world from sims 3, with better graphics!
My first ever playing The Sims was when I was about 9 years old. At my cousin's computer. Also tried Sims 1 once but I fell in love with the Sims 2 and horrific stuff happened when I played for the first time. 😂🙈 I totally agree with Kayla, the EA Team should make another stuff Pack with those epic contents we may miss from the former games. To return our favourite contents. As well as the social bunny. I absolutely loved it❣️
All that we wished for as children was basically a new Sims 2 with halftiles and placing furnature diagonally. Always loved all the little details. Like the firefighters rushing in when it burns, the police when someone broke into the house, the different cars picking you up for work , etc. The expansionpacks were so well planed and had everything we could imagine. BUT yes, the build mode in Sims 4 is so much better and really gives the game so much more dynamic and freedom.
This is filling me with so much nostalgia. I was 1 when it released but by the time I could read my dad already owned the game and gave it to me. Granted I was 4 and I couldn’t read WELL and I couldn’t write so I really didn’t know what I was doing. But I have a lot of nostalgia building in the sims 2 and showing my dad my creations
I love going back to th old sims games and seeing what was considered stylish back when the game came out. Like looking at the TVs in the sims 2 vs the sims 4. Oh how we've changed!
Love seeing this, brings back memories. If you had Sims 1 you would really be frustrated with building in that one. But I liked to play with Ophelia and Gunther Goth. They had a huge house.
this is why i will never ever understand the people who say they hate sims 4 and only play sims 2. most I've talked to haven't even played the sims 4 before but just decided they don't like it. they don't even know how bad they have it.
making a game with the CAS, graphics and build mode from sims 4 and the gameplay and personality system of sims 2 would make a truly perfect game
agreed
Sims 3 pets were really good i would add that
what are you on about, have we watched the same video? ts2 had an amazing graphics, hell some of ts2 objects had higher poly count than ts4 base game objects.
@@Lollogy yknow what. true. i reverse what i say
CAS sucks in all the games, lmao, some of the newer sims 4 stuff is nice but just get a new team for that

more proof sims 4 is inferior!!! i will never stop playing sims 2 for as long as i live muahahahha
Oh the nostalgia! I remember always putting love seats in front of the television so that I could center them. And it cracked me up that you gave up on the garage once you realized you needed a garage floor for it to work!
it is so coool to visit the past games/entertainment. Last week i decided to rewatch gilmore girls and it is so cool to see people actively using crt tube tvs, pagers, LANDLINES and huge cellphones. Like, its been so long ive seen one of those in person, nostalgia hit me hard
Watching this knowing how to build in sims 2 was a fun experience
As a 23 year Sim veteran, I'd love to see Kayla do this same build in Sims 1 and suffer... I mean experience building like we did. 😏
I didn't play 1, but I love watching people attempt builds, especially build the same challenges across the other incarnations and Sims 1. It is so funny to watch! It had to be so hard to build well.
@@WelcomeApathy It really was! Don't even get me started. 😅 James Turner actually did a small series where he went from Sims 4 to Sims 1 and built the same house in each of them. Really interesting to see the progression!
lilsimsie is so young! 😭
I was born in '89 (I'm old, I know), so I grew up with the Sims 1. I was a bit late to the game (ha ha) for Sims 4 and only got it a year or two ago, but I was so amazed that every sim just gets a smartphone and I didn't have to place a landline phone somewhere in the house! 🤣 I'm also so, so glad they got rid of some of the things I hated: the school bus/carpool thing so you can now send your sims to school/work late, the random burglars that come and steal your stuff, and the loud, ominous DA-DUH sound when something bad happens. That always made me jump!
The tragic clown has always been a thing, but it used to be that he showed up when you were having a party.
God, this is just making me realize how nostalgic I am for the sims 2
Whenever I’m feeling a little anxious, I put on simsie’s videos cause it’s like something comfortable and familiar
I’ve lost count of how many times I have asked for a build dedicated to Snap, along with a cat cam ❤
U mean u want a camera to watch the cats at home? Like your SIM you mean?
@@wendyallen9089 in one of Kayla’s videos, she added a camera of her cat
@@yara_muffin also in a lot of her twitch streams!

Please more sims 2 content. This was so much fun.
god no
Not the floor plan being the growing together downstairs floor plan that simsie built for the expansion lol
14:46 this is the moment that I realized that I can convert anyone to loving the Sims 2, it is the best version of all of the games! Thank you for doing this because this is everything for me. I am an OG simmer played the original and was super thrilled when Sims 2 was going to have fingers instead of flat weird hands and I still play the game and I’m 42! My oldest daughter is almost 20, just so you have some kind of understanding of how close in age you are to her. I’m so super happy that you enjoyed the sims 2, even briefly I’m trying to get my 13-year-old to love the game too but she’s still too far into Sims four to care.
I did not expect to relate to so much of her nostalgia, being a person who only played the Sims 3 and now the Sims 4. I remember being able to color/pattern things differently than the set swatches, and having those little kids’ play kitchens.
i laughed out loud so many times throughout this video! thanks for always posting great content! You're so creative to continuously come up with all these ideas for builds!
Could be really interesting seeing you try the Sims 1 for the first (?) time. In retrospect it's probably the most different out of all 4 of them.
I love the rug you picked at the end for the living room. It perfectly pulled together all the colors in those rooms. :)
I started with the sims 1 and I don’t think I’m old(62) still playing and loving it.
Anyone else think this house looks very similar to the one she built for growing together without the second floor? Super cute though!❤
she builds the same house every other week
@@abrisc32 I found ur comment funny and true then I saw all of your comments are the same thing hating, that’s rly sad mate watching a sims youtuber just to copy paste the same comments (ironic considering said comments are about doing the same thing)💀
@@Dean_W1nchester. believe me i’m not copying and pasting. i’m typing it out every time. that’s how annoyed i am with lazy youtubers. makes it seem like she’s rolling out content just for money purposes. i admire deli for her amazing builds and putting work and creativity into every video and build she releases and her builds are INCREDIBLE
but thank you for looking through my comments, that’s not weird at all ☺️
@@abrisc32 so your solution to a youtuber you don’t enjoy is to waste your time watching videos you don’t like boosting said youtuber with your views and comments in the process 🤔 suuuure if you’re so bored you wanna be a hater to pass the time just admit it lol
My first Sims game was sims 2 pets on ps2 and also Mysims on the Wii. Those games will always have a special place in my heart.
Sims 2 was my first sims game, and I still play it more than Sims 4 today! The simplicity!!! The chaos!!!
But it never had upper cabinets except for like a few decorative plate racks and a nectar shelf!! But I remember getting sims 3 and it had upper cabinets and I was so amazed 🤣🤣
I would love to see you do a main channel legacy gameplay in sims 2 or a rotational gameplay series would be amazing too! ❤️
Lovely video Simsie!! 😍😍
when you get here in 30 seconds n dont know what to say
Do the same house in all the sims, 1,2, 3 & 4!!!!!
The Sims 1 would be so jank tho cuz the building mechanics just weren't there at all.
@@75ForLife that would be a challenge!!
That would be cool but Sims 1 building is TRASH
You were only 4 when the Sims 2 came out?! I was older than that when the original came out! Excuse me, my old bones are crumbling to dust
Definitely think we should try it in the sims 3! Or really any building videos in the sims 3! Interested to see how things compare.
YEAHHH SIMS 2 SIMSIES BACK
Not me forgetting that she usually has Rick in her background and thinking she has an actual body on the floor 😵💫🤣
I didn't even notice it until now. Even after reading your comment, seeing it scared me a little
It was so fun seeing you find all the neat stuff from Sims 2! It was my first Sims game, and even though I haven't played it as intensely as others, I still love that game. The decor and personality of Sims 2 with the upgraded building options of Sims 4 would make the perfect Sims game imo 🎯
Honestly, ALOT of the items from TS4 are from TS2 and with the new kits, they are adding more of them! I absolutely LOVE the items in TS2 and I wish EA would just add more of the same wallpapers and the freetime items as they are soo much fun!
Love this video and also you can see how much she cares about her audience. And her videos are so amazing!😊😍
I love her energy and positive attitude, and how relatable and open she is
The baby grilling mod in sims 2 was the best
I remember the PAIN of actually having to tend to all the landscaping 😭 my flowers always died cause i forgot to water them
2 videos in one day I’m spoiled
sims 2 is literally my whole entire childhood the sleepless nights I had 🤣 luckily I managed to buy all the packs from ebay and its been so amazing to play after so many years. love your videos ❤
i love these trips down memory lane! my first sims game was mysims wii and my first pc sims game was the sims 2! i may be a year younger, but i have an older sibling and her best friend introduced us to the games. it took 3 hours to download on our crappy pc and then would constantly crash while in game 😅 i wasn't allowed to play/couldn't afford the sims 3, but i did play mysims kingdom, the ds format mysims games, and i love playing the sims 4 :)
I would actually love waaaay more sims 3 content, since it’s also the game I started playing with. Like a full on Let’s play series in the Sims 3 would be so so cool!!!
sims 4 build, cas, and graphics + sims 2 gameplay & gameplay mechanics = my perfect sims game
unoriginal comment also lame idea. why are you alive?
Love seeing you enjoying Sims 2. I loved it back in the day. I'd build giant castles and everything. I struggle to get the same kind of buildings done in the Sims 4 (3 floors are just not enough). I loved controlling the entire neighborhood, playing with each family for a couple of days to keep the timelines correct.
If you recreate it you have to follow through instead of adding a rug when you purposely decided against it in sims 2
I myself was about 8 years old even when the _first_ Sims game came out. And I was about 13 when the Sims 2 launched.
I enjoyed this video! The front door you used for The Sims 2 house is the one I frequently used for back doors in smaller homes. And you used my favorite countertops!
This video is heartwarmingly nostalgic! And also The Sims 4 is the only version of The Sims that I have never played. So, I enjoy watching content that catches me up on what I have missed throughout the years.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I hope one day they make a megasupersonic Sims version that has all of the best things from every game to make The Mother of All Sims Games 😎
watching her to figure out in Sims 2 is hilarious, because thats me when I play Sims 4. I played Simes 1 and 2 so much that Sims 4 overwhemles me. so many options, Sims 2 was much easier to coordinate for me....but than maybe I ma just getting old.
Sims 2 foods being higher poly then the sims 4
The Sims 2 simulated the motion of water in its physics engine. No other game in the series did that.
That turned out so cute!! It was fun watching you build in sims 2, I think it would be fun to watch do the same with sims 3. ❤
for the sims 5 i hope we get the graphics of sims 4 but the gameplay of sims 2 and the color wheel from sims 3. That would be superior
edit: I would love to see you do this in the sims 3 instead of sims 2 my frist sims game was also sims 3 so it would be really nostalgic
And the terrain/lot placement options of The Sims 2&3, because there’s not really any reason to do a lot of terrain manipulation in 4.
@@ragnkja yes and i hope we get cars in the sims 5
There's some interesting pre-made house builds in the bin(?) options in neighborhood view in Sims2. May be fun to judge or reno any of those. Or compare some packs and items between the two games.
Few days ago I installed Sims 3 on my husband's PC and was like 'is this terrain paint still loading?' but nope, it just went way downhill from Sims 2, that we managed to run in 2k on Windows 11, took some time but it was so worth it. I like Sims 2 graphics style, it's really detailed considering how old this game is. Also how on earth it never crossed my mind that you can use cheats to place stuff on half tiles in Sims 2?!
YOU have a husband??!!!
its so funny to me seeing kayla going through the ts2 catalog and finding all the stuff in ts3, where i'm seeing some of the stuff she's pulling out like omg they updated that and brought it into 4 😂 so nostalgic 🥺
Omg no bc I love this, the build mode and everything abt it!
Have I perfected ghe simsie time?? Just gotta stay up everyday till this time so I can watch a simsie video and sleep
I never got to play any of the sims games as a kid but this gives me so much joy to watch. Also this whole game and the style is giving my grandmas house in like 2006 😂in that absolute best way. Like I want to go hug her, make cookies, and watch Saturday morning cartoons.
We need a sims 2 let's play from you!! I'm begging
NOOOO
and i 100% want to be able to change the cabinet and counter color separately. and it'd be nice to have a cabinet or drawers option for counters like, y'know, a real life kitchen has
When making garages, have you thought of using the DIY Garage Mural from City Living? It's not perfect, and only visible from outside but mostly works for looking like a garage, and has the added bonus of being something your Sims can paint on.
Ngl, seeing this video brought back so much nostalgia 😭 I grew up playing sims 2 because my mom had all the expansions. So while I was really young when it came out (born in 2000 ✌️) it was the game of my childhood. Seeing the tile swatches really unlocked memories.
Showing my age here, but: I started simming on the first game. So for me, the advancements in build mode from the sims 1 to the sims 2 was unprecedented! Being able to rotate the camera freely was also a big deal. Many key features of this game come from the sims 2, imo.
obviously having create a style or something similar would be ideal for future sims updates and games, but just having that option to change the color of the cabinets and counter tops (plus some other in this game) separately would add more to the sims 4 so easily!
Realizing I’m old because I started playing the og sims when it first came out 😂
*puts down a rug shaped like a fish* … “fish.”
My first Sims game was Sims Tower! 😅 We played it in school, ha!
This is completely unrelated to the video, but I wanted to reach out on the off chance that you might see this and speak out, because a lot of people ignore us console players, but EA listens to you, at least somewhat. If you speak out and people start to motice this, they may just fix it.
The most recent update has been the SECOND time this year that an update has completely changed, and completely wrecked the controls. We can't do some things we used to be able to (such as zoom in the free cam mode for our screenshots) because they have switched the triggers for switching between sims and toggling the time.
Those controls have been the same for years, and while it may not be as difficult to adjust to for newer players, it is so difficult for veteran players like me who've been playing consistently for years.
So many people have given feedback, after the sims summit update they wrecked the controls, and it wasnt until the most recent update that they even ACKNOWLEDGED it despite how outraged console simmers were. And it's because nobody seems to know, or even care about the fact that we can barely play the game anymore. They supposedly 'fixed' build mode but decided we can't have nice things and changed the controls to live mode. I've had friends playing on hyperspeed, notice a sim is hysterical and about to die, and in their struggle to pause time they just ended up switching between sims and their sim dies anyway, qhich likely wouldn't have happened otherwose. Because they changed the controls to 'match cas' but they should have just chabged the cas controls if they did that.
They wouldn't do this kind of thing to PC players because they know that there would be outrage, but it really seems like they dont care about console players. We don't even have a sim guru that specifically works on the console version, and a lot of feedback comments on the thread where they ASKED FOR FEEDBACK, have been taken down on account of 'trolling'. (I saw a screenshot of one such post but it was absolutely valid) It's really sad to see them shoving us to the side like this. Again.
You don't have to cover this if you see it Kayla, but even if only a few people see this I would be happy because at least word of these issues is somehow getting out there, even if it's not a lot of people.
I was born in 2005 and yet the sims 2 was my original sims game. I played it from my very young childhood up until my mid-teen years. I still have a huge soft spot for it.
sims 2 gameplay is where it shines! i would love to see you play!
am i the only person who called is live mode (like live TV) not live mode (like living).... my mind is blown
I have been watching Simsie for a few years and I have to say my dream is to see her play Sims 1 or even the older console games. all of them are so different from what we have now I would LOVE to see her reaction to them and how weird and even more adult those games were
I got such nice nostalgic vibes from this. I orginally played the sims and grew up with sims literally from being 6 years old. So this was my childhood
Sims 2 somehow looks more "realistic" if it does make sense. I love sims 4 but it's somehow bubbly art made compared to sims 2. Perfect game would be vibe and art style from sims 2, customization and open world from sims 3, with better graphics!
My first ever playing The Sims was when I was about 9 years old. At my cousin's computer. Also tried Sims 1 once but I fell in love with the Sims 2 and horrific stuff happened when I played for the first time. 😂🙈 I totally agree with Kayla, the EA Team should make another stuff Pack with those epic contents we may miss from the former games. To return our favourite contents. As well as the social bunny. I absolutely loved it❣️
Watching this takes me back. It'd be cool to see simsie build a blue suburban in Sims1
All that we wished for as children was basically a new Sims 2 with halftiles and placing furnature diagonally. Always loved all the little details. Like the firefighters rushing in when it burns, the police when someone broke into the house, the different cars picking you up for work , etc. The expansionpacks were so well planed and had everything we could imagine. BUT yes, the build mode in Sims 4 is so much better and really gives the game so much more dynamic and freedom.
Everything in sims 2 is so adorable
This is filling me with so much nostalgia. I was 1 when it released but by the time I could read my dad already owned the game and gave it to me. Granted I was 4 and I couldn’t read WELL and I couldn’t write so I really didn’t know what I was doing. But I have a lot of nostalgia building in the sims 2 and showing my dad my creations
The “hot spring” looks suspiciously like the shark pond…
I love going back to th old sims games and seeing what was considered stylish back when the game came out. Like looking at the TVs in the sims 2 vs the sims 4. Oh how we've changed!
8:15 "There's, like, little bunnies on top" Don't disrespect the Social Bunny like that!! 😆
I love the way swatches worked in the sims 2, being able to match wood tones easily was a dream
Love seeing this, brings back memories. If you had Sims 1 you would really be frustrated with building in that one. But I liked to play with Ophelia and Gunther Goth. They had a huge house.
I LOOK UP TO U SM LILSIMSIE UR THE BESTTTT
this is why i will never ever understand the people who say they hate sims 4 and only play sims 2.
most I've talked to haven't even played the sims 4 before but just decided they don't like it. they don't even know how bad they have it.
