As a kid, the forced story aspect made it a lot more playable to me 😭 most of the normal sims, I’d have like 3-4 sessions on a household before making a new one
I’ve only ever played normal sims and I think a story aspect would help me get more hooked on it better. I have the same issue I’ll only play a household a few times before I’m done with it. Sometimes I don’t even end up playing with the household I’ll make them, their house, and dip.
I’ve tried playing some of the handheld versions and I just found them WAY too difficult to get into. Making money in the games is too annoying. I prefer the console versions (specifically 1, 2, and Castaway) since it’s practically the PC versions but with a simple, goal-based story.
i highlyyy recommend playing out the entire sims2 DS version, it gets waaayyy more crazy than a basic hotel manager. it also creeped me out a lot as a child LOL
omgg the aliens traumatised me sooooo badly as a kid to the point that my heartrate still spikes to this day when i hear the invasion music. even cutting up aliens is something i have to force myself to do (even with the sound off)
As someone who played Freeplay religiously a few years ago, and spent money on it. I have to say I completely agree with you. I honestly think, they should rename it to AdPlay, with the amount of ads the game wants you to watch
i recently played it and it is notttt that bad. i spent like £5 at first but then i found out you get a lot of LP from spamming out hobbies and also realised it’s more of a town builder than life sim while also… not letting you customise much of the town. turned into just an LP grind but ads were never much of an issues.
Sims 2 Castaway on PSP was bizarrely feature rich. It included Woohoo, and a system that allows you to put highlight colors in your hair that to my knowledge was a first for the series outside PC. also the coconuts were glitched so it looked more like eating a ball of rainbow clay
Wait wait i never knew about woohoo in sims2 castaway for psp!! And i recently replayed it in emulator and reserched that there is no woohoo((( but i had the wedding anyway
When I was a kid, I found the hotel Sims game in one of those cheap game bins at Circuit City. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I had a blast with it.
Urbz on the DS/GBA is still one of my favorite Sims games. Took what made Bustin Out good, and turned it to 11. The story/writing was fun, music was a bop, minigames were a bit more forgiving for a mobile platform, and the Xizzles/REP system gave the game replayability, also the schooling system was a genius addition to make it a bit less grindy. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
@@PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Thanks, Nick! Speaking of DS games to bring to holiday gatherings... I wonder if I can find Phoenix Wright at my local game reseller before Christmas 🫣
@@PhoenixWrightAceAttorney and for an update, I did bring my ds! It was a small affair with my in-laws and nobody minded that I was making mad simoleons from my hotel because my sister-in-law was yelling at two Georgia universities playing football
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos, but I just feel like I have to tell you how much I adore your channel. It's perfect for me in any way possible, the nostalgia, the humor, the sometimes strange and niche subjects, the editing, commentary and overall aesthetic is just 10/10. Thank you for making amazing videos dreamyjellies! 😎👍
Sims Bustin Out on GBA will always have a place in my heart and I lowkey still want Giuseppi Mezzoalto in the back of his van, random furniture of dubious origins and all.
He's such a neat tropey character! As a kid I pronounced his name as Giz-oopy for some reason, and now I still can't read it normally whenever I see it
God, I miss handheld gaming. There’s gotta be some middle ground between iPhone shovelware and triple A switch tiles! (Also, I love how you use the pink versions of each of the consoles for your game footage- everyone knows they’re the best versions!)
@@MarquisdeL3 I have a problem with this however in that the Switch and Steam Deck are not really small and convenient, they're both quite big for handheld consoles! There is no dedicated handheld gaming scene anymore unfortunately, as no handheld consoles exist, and the technology would be so strong and they would just be the same as most indie games anyhow. Alas, it a genre / platform of gaming that will likely not see a return. :(
I had Sims 2 on DS and I had no idea at the time that wasn't what normal Sims games were. The Ratticator plotline was so surreal that as an adult, I had to search out the game to see if I wasn't just remembering wrong or making it up. I never got to finish the game though because it glitched during the pirate casino games and I could never make any more progress.
sims castaway brings me so many memories. i'd go to my cousin's house and play it on his psp nonstop until i had to go home. it was my first experience with the sims and i was changed forever. i tried downloading it for pc so i could have a taste of the golden days but i could't get the controls to work with the keyboard. still, i will always love it
Let me tell you. I FKN LOVE SIMS BUSTING OUT! It was my first ever video game and I have played it in totality probably 10 times. But I still never figured out the cliff diving lol wtf. Also I loved making literally everyone in town be in love with me, filled the void my mom's distance left LOL. But I really love the sound effects and music. It's such a simple and lovable game. I really want to go mow Uncle Hayseed's grass rn
I remember playing The Sims Social back in the day on Facebook. I'm kind of sad that it has been deleted now as I always thought that the artstyle is really pretty and, if I remember correctly, it allowed you to interact with the sims made by people on your friend's list
I'm always happy to see Sims handheld games get some much needed love. I'm a big fan of these weird console & spinoff games, Sims 2 DS is one of my favourite games ever because it's just so out there. I also used to play TS2 GBA a lot as a kid, still need to get around to hunting down a copy of it. I want to play it again so much.
I had ts2 pets for the GBA when I was younger and I used to play it ALL THE TIME. I can literally repeat the simlish from memory. The crunchy eating and drinking noises are ingrained in my brain.
The Urbz for the DS is still one of my favourite DS games, (at the time at least) it felt like it gave a level of freedom that a lot of other games were lacking. I loved how you could get loads of unique secret areas you could use like a second house. The ending with the Time Machine felt very creative
Congrats on almost 200,000 subscribers!! That’s absolutely incredible and you deserve it. I remember when you first started out and it’s so great to see how far you’ve come, my friend :)
These games are my core memories lmao, the sims bustin out and sims urbz are my forever favorites, i just replayed them a couple of months ago and they are still magical, the suburbs, the bayou, the npcs, the background music. I even play the bep x sims urbz playlist on spotify regularly. I'm in love with canonball coleman saxophone sounds and redman violin duel song. I'm glad i am not the only one with this niche obsession 😭
Nice, a nostalgic video I can take part in. I played and honestly enjoyed the handheld sims iterations like Bustin' Out and Urbz (specifically for GBA) quite a bit. I honestly wish we'd get some new games like that, even if it isn't officially a "sims" game something comparable to the exploration and interactions you can have in those two games would be great.
I LOOOOVED and still love the story progression style of sims games. Sometimes, it's hard for me to focus on the "do what you want" aspect of modern sims games, and the story progression style keeps me engaged instead. I especially replayed the Urbz and Bustin out quite a bit, and I still replay them every once in a while.
I played a lot that sims 2 game on my mom's motorola razr. I had no clue it was a sims game, but just looking at that footage for half a second made me remember so much about the gameplay. It had to be one of, if not, the most played game i had during those years.
I put HOURSSSS into the Sims 2 GBA game as a kid. I came back to it as an adult and was pleasantly surprised by how witty the writing is. The soundtrack is also still a banger. I wish they’d make more story-focused stuff like that again!
It surprised me how the PSP versions of the Sims games (apart from The Sims 2, which was it's own thing on PSP) were pretty much just the console (PS2) versions of those games, but with "worse" graphics and adjusted controls to account for having only one stick.
The nostalgia really kicked when you've showed the Nintendo DS version (Sims 2 with the hotel). I was playing this game soooo much! Loved it. It was strange, but it hit the spot. I honestly just wished for more options, like changing the wallpaper and floor in my suite or in the other suites, plus the fact that some suites had weird shapes. I wished for more individuality. But otherwise? Story was fun!
Dream Jelly making my dream video taking about my favorite games ever as a kid. I still break out my DS and play Bustin’ Out to this day - and if I really need to scratch the itch while I’m out, Delta Emulator. This video makes me so, so happy. I cannot recommend Prudence Softy enough - they have gone through all the Sims spin-offs and their videos are so funny!
The Urbz was my second DS game after Mario 64. I love how quirky the NPC dialogue is and had so much fun exploring each new area. Maybe I'll replay it soon, as Evil Larry this time.
Yeesh looking at the Sims 4 mobile thing is creepy, everyone has some terrifying face, and smile. ...The Sims 2 on DS and GBA continue to be the best in the series for the Strangetown lore alone.
I'm not sure if half of these games were even profitable to produce, but they certainly added a lot of color and creativity, especially early on, to the series. I can't say I'm a huge Sims fan, but I have a ton of affection for the Urbz and how it attempts to blend Sims mechanics and an adventure game. Some of the music was really good too!
FreePlay is super addictive, I started playing it again a few years ago figuring I'd like to get all the achievements on Google Play and eventually realized that I just can't... too much grinding for those last few and even if the actual play sessions aren't all that long, if you want to see good results, you have to check in multiple times a day. It's not like people have lives outside of gaming, right? Also, YES, MySims video, YES!
Amazing video (I've been looking forward to it since you mentioned the mobile version of The Sims 3 in your Golden Age of Apps video). The first Sims game I ever played was Freeplay. It was fun back then, but it definitely pales in comparison to the mainline games (especially with how ridiculously long it takes to complete the in-game quests). For your next Sims-related video (likely after the MySims one, of course), might I suggest a retrospective/review of all the Sims 3 worlds? Riverview features Evil Larry (as in an evil townie named Larry)!
Still in LURV w/ Dusty Hogg - I really love all the iterations of the Sims. It's amazing how with SIms 3 they were even different depending on the console you played it on. Loved the idea of karma points
I spent too much time on Sims 3 DS, it's such an underrated "port" and I could totally use it as a Sims substitute at a moment when I didn't game much on my PC
I would LOOOVE to see a MySims video! especially with the Cozy Bundle on Nintendo Switch coming out. They're classics andI'm glad they're getting renewed attention. The era of Wii and DS games being seen as just inferior versions of HD console/PC games is finally over
the DS sims games were my personal hell and I love them dearly even the Sims 2 even though my game always times me out and doesnt make sense and crashes :))))
Oh, the nostalgia, I used to play the mobile The Sims 2 version a lot on my old Sony Ericsson (that I actually lost in a school trip) and I absolutely love The Sims 2 Castaway for the PS2, I dare to say it's on of my favorite The Sims game
FINALLY… You’re the only person I’ve seen even mention the sims game on the blackberry. I used to play it on my mom’s phone when I was a kid and I loveeeed it :)
The sims 3 pets for the 3DS was my one and only sims game for years and I still play it all the time to this day (I was actually playing it before watching this lmao), its always had a special place in my heart and its awesome seeing it get mentioned along with the other games that are rarely ever talked about :]
Your channel is really comforting for me in recapturing the magic i felt in the world during y2k popculture. Thank you very much for making videos. Theyre charming, funny and feel as nice as my 7 year old Build a Bear. cheers.
My first PSP game was the Sims 2 and it was so addicting! I recently replayed it and honestly so unique, I quite love it and prefer it to the latest Sims versions for sure 😄 lovely video! Thanks for making it.
The Sims 2 for gameboy advanced will forever be my favorite handheld Sims title. It's just so weird and sometimes even unsettling I love it, and the music just hits me right in my nostalgia weak-spot.
i've owned sims 2 castaways on the wii for years, never knew that there was a ds port. it's genuinely still one of my favorite games released for the wii though
I remember getting Sims 2 Pets for the GBA for my bday and being OBSESSED. I had already adored The Sims Life Stories, but there was just something about the handheld version that felt so much cooler! I also loved the evil larry character 😏
Loved this video ❤ fantastic as ever and I always wanted someone to deep dive sim2 games specifically (sims 2 castaway ds and sims 2 ds especially) cuz of just how different they are! Also editing top tier as always...love the consoles and mobiles used per game 🎉
Oh my god I stumbled upon this video by the mercy of YT Recommendations and clicked it out of curiosity, but also out of hope to find that one mobile game I vaguely remembered playing once on a relative's phone but couldn't remember if it was The Sims game or something else.... And I found it here. To elaborate, it was The Sims 3 mobile game at around 29:18. I only remember vaguely about the graphics and nothing else, but once you showed the map and the traits menu, it came crashing back to me like a bus. Thank you so much for this lmfao
I had all the Gameboy Sims games and later, the Sims 3 Wii game and I played all of them religiously (still play them to this day tbh). This video gave me so much nostalgia!!
i played both sims freeplay and sims mobile, especially freeplay for a couple years up until around 2022 and considering the highs and lows of me playing and managing my save files in both games, i personally would say that handheld sims games is reaching its end because of those two games specifically (except the recent mysims re-release which i couldnt have my hands on)
Hyperfixating on the Sims franchise as a really poor kid & only ever having a nintendo DS was HELL. I'll never forget going to the used game stores & trading games for any sims titles i could find. Hoping at least ONE of them would be similar to PC. I believe I am the most qualified to answer your question: yes, your biases were completely correct. To this DAY, no game has ever infuriated me as much as the Sims 2 Pets. That shit could genuinely be in the genre of rageplay games now. I remember liking the Apartment Pets one a little bit better, but thats probably because of all the secret cheat codes i found online. in conclusion: the sims 2 for DS was AMAZING, me and my friends ran those hotels like the NAVYYY (also the radioactive aliens & mob boss lore in that game is so ridiculous & so amazing)
sims 3 ds was my favorite video game of all time when i was younger. hiding my ds away under my pillow because it was late at night is such a strong memory for me,
Sims 2 DS, while being a pretty grindy game, was a very fun experience for my younger self. The weird locations, fun NPCs and goofy storylines really made me engaged with it! And even if you are not a fan of it, the fucking soundtrack is one of the best in the series in my opinion. It has the right mix of mundane songs, mysterious and ominous themes and just flat out bangers all round'
Loved this video ❤ fantastic as ever and I always wanted someone to deep dove sim2 games specifically cuz of just how different they are! Also editing top tier as always...love the consoles and mobiles used per game 🎉
I used to play Sims3 World Adventures religiously in middle school. I loved the Sims but had no way to play it as I didn't have a pc of my own at that time so having a game in my phone was everything. (And I could play it at school hehe) I also loved that it had a concept, rather than being a freeplay Sims game. I didn't know they had even more games for phones, I would love to try Supernatural or Medieval!
I remember how nightmarish and spooky the SIMS2 for ds was, i dont think i ever went past the aliens because it was spooking me when I was a kid lmao :')
As someone who played The Urbz on the Gamecube, never have I been more confused about the handheld version of The Urbz and not just running into the Black Eyed Peas casually on a tuesday afternoon
The Sims 3 DS was pretty fun to play as a kid, until my sims got in a relationship with someone and I realized they could not have children. It annoyed me so much I stopped playing x)
Been thinking about the Sims 2 game on the PSP, and how that was wackier than Bustin Out/Urbz. Thank you for this documentary - if only they brought back the original concepts back that shit was fire
Ohh I loved ds sims 2 so much as a kid I have great memories playing it. Lots of screaming and laughing while being chased by aliens with my sister and cousin and daydreaming up different relationships with the characters

I completely agree with you. I honestly think, they should rename it to AdPlay, with the amount of ads the game wants you to watch
true, i remember i had to do a "workaround" in my save game with another freeplay player online to avoid ads and such
i recently played it and it is notttt that bad. i spent like £5 at first but then i found out you get a lot of LP from spamming out hobbies and also realised it’s more of a town builder than life sim while also… not letting you customise much of the town. turned into just an LP grind but ads were never much of an issues.
I also played free play a lot before they changed the menus to make them super confusing

I can't say I'm a huge Sims fan, but I have a ton of affection for the Urbz and how it attempts to blend Sims mechanics and an adventure game. Some of the music was really good too!
FreePlay is super addictive, I started playing it again a few years ago figuring I'd like to get all the achievements on Google Play and eventually realized that I just can't... too much grinding for those last few and even if the actual play sessions aren't all that long, if you want to see good results, you have to check in multiple times a day. It's not like people have lives outside of gaming, right?
Also, YES, MySims video, YES!
You made my late night cereal 🥣 way more enjoyable, thank you for another great video transporting me back to childhood lol
Amazing video (I've been looking forward to it since you mentioned the mobile version of The Sims 3 in your Golden Age of Apps video). The first Sims game I ever played was Freeplay. It was fun back then, but it definitely pales in comparison to the mainline games (especially with how ridiculously long it takes to complete the in-game quests). For your next Sims-related video (likely after the MySims one, of course), might I suggest a retrospective/review of all the Sims 3 worlds? Riverview features Evil Larry (as in an evil townie named Larry)!
Still in LURV w/ Dusty Hogg - I really love all the iterations of the Sims. It's amazing how with SIms 3 they were even different depending on the console you played it on. Loved the idea of karma points
I love the Sims mobile game even though it's kinda barebones! Not Freeplay (VERY misleading name btw) or SimCity, though.
I spent too much time on Sims 3 DS, it's such an underrated "port" and I could totally use it as a Sims substitute at a moment when I didn't game much on my PC
I’ve played all of these multiple times but did I watch this video, yes. Did I love this video? YES 🙌🏻 🥰
I would LOOOVE to see a MySims video! especially with the Cozy Bundle on Nintendo Switch coming out. They're classics andI'm glad they're getting renewed attention. The era of Wii and DS games being seen as just inferior versions of HD console/PC games is finally over
the DS sims games were my personal hell and I love them dearly even the Sims 2 even though my game always times me out and doesnt make sense and crashes :))))
Oh, the nostalgia, I used to play the mobile The Sims 2 version a lot on my old Sony Ericsson (that I actually lost in a school trip) and I absolutely love The Sims 2 Castaway for the PS2, I dare to say it's on of my favorite The Sims game
FINALLY… You’re the only person I’ve seen even mention the sims game on the blackberry. I used to play it on my mom’s phone when I was a kid and I loveeeed it :)
2:30 not the call me Kevin content
The sims 3 pets for the 3DS was my one and only sims game for years and I still play it all the time to this day (I was actually playing it before watching this lmao), its always had a special place in my heart and its awesome seeing it get mentioned along with the other games that are rarely ever talked about :]
Your channel is really comforting for me in recapturing the magic i felt in the world during y2k popculture. Thank you very much for making videos. Theyre charming, funny and feel as nice as my 7 year old Build a Bear. cheers.
My first PSP game was the Sims 2 and it was so addicting! I recently replayed it and honestly so unique, I quite love it and prefer it to the latest Sims versions for sure 😄 lovely video! Thanks for making it.
the sims bustin out for gba was my first sims experience too! i love to see it getting the appreciation it deserves
The Sims 2 for gameboy advanced will forever be my favorite handheld Sims title. It's just so weird and sometimes even unsettling I love it, and the music just hits me right in my nostalgia weak-spot.
Sims 2 handheld was what made The Sims perfect. STRANGE, eerie, creepy, all whilst holding its flippant and quirky humor. Love them all
STOP, THE NOKIA ONE IS SO NOSTALGIC!! I had HOURSSSS of gameplay with that version of the sims
Yay! A dream jellyfish post
I loved bustin out, urbz, and sims 2. It was so much fun playing those with the stories. ❤
Omg. You just unlocked an ancient memory of the sims DJ iPod app. I used to play that all the time! Totally forgot it existed haha.
i've owned sims 2 castaways on the wii for years, never knew that there was a ds port. it's genuinely still one of my favorite games released for the wii though
I've always heard it was good. I wouldn't check it out now; but I felt I would've enjoyed it as a kid.
I remember getting Sims 2 Pets for the GBA for my bday and being OBSESSED. I had already adored The Sims Life Stories, but there was just something about the handheld version that felt so much cooler! I also loved the evil larry character 😏
Loved this video ❤ fantastic as ever and I always wanted someone to deep dive sim2 games specifically (sims 2 castaway ds and sims 2 ds especially) cuz of just how different they are! Also editing top tier as always...love the consoles and mobiles used per game 🎉
Oh my god I stumbled upon this video by the mercy of YT Recommendations and clicked it out of curiosity, but also out of hope to find that one mobile game I vaguely remembered playing once on a relative's phone but couldn't remember if it was The Sims game or something else.... And I found it here. To elaborate, it was The Sims 3 mobile game at around 29:18. I only remember vaguely about the graphics and nothing else, but once you showed the map and the traits menu, it came crashing back to me like a bus. Thank you so much for this lmfao
I really like the detail of the bedazzled Ipod touch, very slay
I had all the Gameboy Sims games and later, the Sims 3 Wii game and I played all of them religiously (still play them to this day tbh). This video gave me so much nostalgia!!
i played both sims freeplay and sims mobile, especially freeplay for a couple years up until around 2022 and considering the highs and lows of me playing and managing my save files in both games, i personally would say that handheld sims games is reaching its end because of those two games specifically (except the recent mysims re-release which i couldnt have my hands on)
Hyperfixating on the Sims franchise as a really poor kid & only ever having a nintendo DS was HELL. I'll never forget going to the used game stores & trading games for any sims titles i could find. Hoping at least ONE of them would be similar to PC.
I believe I am the most qualified to answer your question: yes, your biases were completely correct. To this DAY, no game has ever infuriated me as much as the Sims 2 Pets. That shit could genuinely be in the genre of rageplay games now. I remember liking the Apartment Pets one a little bit better, but thats probably because of all the secret cheat codes i found online.
in conclusion: the sims 2 for DS was AMAZING, me and my friends ran those hotels like the NAVYYY
(also the radioactive aliens & mob boss lore in that game is so ridiculous & so amazing)
sims 3 ds was my favorite video game of all time when i was younger. hiding my ds away under my pillow because it was late at night is such a strong memory for me,
Sims 2 DS, while being a pretty grindy game, was a very fun experience for my younger self. The weird locations, fun NPCs and goofy storylines really made me engaged with it!
And even if you are not a fan of it, the fucking soundtrack is one of the best in the series in my opinion. It has the right mix of mundane songs, mysterious and ominous themes and just flat out bangers all round'
18:13 I would always mess up my Sims' food somehow in that game 😭 it's SO frustrating because even now I do NOT understand that mechanic
I've only ever played the PC releases. But, I've always wanted to play the PSP version of the Sims 2.
Great video!
Loved this video ❤ fantastic as ever and I always wanted someone to deep dove sim2 games specifically cuz of just how different they are! Also editing top tier as always...love the consoles and mobiles used per game 🎉
Perfect timing, I've literally just been thinking about GBA sims and was hoping to have a video to watch about it.
I used to play Sims3 World Adventures religiously in middle school. I loved the Sims but had no way to play it as I didn't have a pc of my own at that time so having a game in my phone was everything. (And I could play it at school hehe) I also loved that it had a concept, rather than being a freeplay Sims game. I didn't know they had even more games for phones, I would love to try Supernatural or Medieval!
I remember how nightmarish and spooky the SIMS2 for ds was, i dont think i ever went past the aliens because it was spooking me when I was a kid lmao :')
i get so hyped every time you upload! you’re my fav youtuber dream jelly!
As someone who played The Urbz on the Gamecube, never have I been more confused about the handheld version of The Urbz and not just running into the Black Eyed Peas casually on a tuesday afternoon
Sims 2 on PSP is one of my favorite games ever. Aliens, murder mysteries, Zombies…it was amazingly unique!
The Sims 3 DS was pretty fun to play as a kid, until my sims got in a relationship with someone and I realized they could not have children. It annoyed me so much I stopped playing x)
26:02 why he look like Serj Tankian for SOAD
simlish version of toxicity when
Been thinking about the Sims 2 game on the PSP, and how that was wackier than Bustin Out/Urbz. Thank you for this documentary - if only they brought back the original concepts back that shit was fire
you're videos arw awesome!!! always wanted to replay these, thanks for reminding me they exist!!
i cannot count how many times ive replayed the urbz omg i love the urbz ❤
Urbz is the most underrated game of all time
11:40 Im gonna tell my kids this was Fallout New Vegas
Ohh I loved ds sims 2 so much as a kid I have great memories playing it. Lots of screaming and laughing while being chased by aliens with my sister and cousin and daydreaming up different relationships with the characters
