Gonna make some corrections here: -Baba Yaga is actually originating not only from Russian, but *Slavic* folklore. (And I admit to have pronounced "Baba Yaga" wrong in the video) -The Bella Goth sim that I used on 0:51 is actually the Bella Goth from Strangetown, not the missing one from Pleasantview. They both have a slightly different face structure. Thanks so much guys for pointing these out!
@@bunniecult Oh man! Everyone forgets about the gba ones - those really make my eye tear c: I always say that the sims 3 have the best customization but the sims 2 is the best one with social interactions and little shenanigans that we all love
A Social Bunny is also a reference to a "Donnie Darko" movie. The main character was shizophrenic and lonely and he often saw a human sized bunny creature which looks exactly like this from the game!
I find it so funny that part of Sims 4 branding was their personalities being huge, but their personalities have nothing on Sims 2. Sims in Sims 2 have the biggest personalities and it really makes the game so much better.
Can you remember in Sims 2, when an adult would dance to music on the stereo and if they had children and teens in the house, the kids would walk through the room giggling and spinning their fingers around by their heads and the teens would flat out crease up? Damn, I miss the little extras like that!
@@FerDeLance06 I once made my sim a party girl who frequented nightclubs in Downtown area. She once just randomly decided, when she sat alone with a drink, to spin her finger around her head and react repulsed by everyone around her. It kinda freaked me out. She even continued that when she walked around, especially when someone approached her, and she reacted negatively to their advances, too! I wanted her to mingle with people, but she like decided to disobey in that way. :O
@@ninaj6051 Sounds like SHE had herself a fun night out! I loved those random strange behaviours S2 sims would sometimes pull and the way they'd countermand instructions you gave them to do something totally random. I once downloaded a beer keg mod (the modder hadn't put an age restriction on it) and two of my sim girls got to it when I wasn't watching them (I'd left them playing a game together). Well ... seeing drunken sim children acting silly and throwing up was ... different. :-D
I think the inflatable pig might be a Pink FLoyd reference. Styx is also the river that the dead crossed to get to the underworld in Greek mythology, so it's fitting for the Grim Reaper.
From what I remember hearing back in the day, the pig actually has a bit of a story to it. Supposedly, back before the Pets expansion came out, the standard response Maxis had to "when are you adding dogs and cats?" inquiries was "when pigs fly". Then lo and behold, when Open for Business (the expack before Pets) came out, they added that floating inflatable pig easter egg.
I just downloaded it I haven't had a computer for a long time now I finally have one I been waiting to play all the sims been a fan since 1 I loved the sims bustin out for ps2 & whatever handheld versions 😂😊😁
Played it today. I’m trying to create a servo to use as the household retail slave. Human rights don’t apply to robots, so there is no reason the government can punish me for my atrocities.
If you have a mounted fish on your wall, that greatly increases the chance of the penguin visiting you, even if it's not winter I believe. It will go up to the mounted fish and start jumping up in front of it, trying to reach it.
is nobody talking about how death's bio says, " Short Piers: I Like when you take long walks." In reference to taking a long walk off a short pier! haha
If more than one Sim in your family has a Social Bunny visiting them, the bunnies can see and communicate with eachother. There's 3 colors they can be, and how they get along depends on their color. Some combinations make them friendly, some make them enemies, and I believe blue and pink bunnies will become lovers.
Damn, I remember more than 1 social bunny appearing back in my newbie days... Nowadays I've became such a pro at this game that even 1 social bunny is a rare occasion xD
In sims 2, when a burglar is caught by the police, as soon as the police officer gives you 500 simoleons for helping out click the police car and you’ll have about 2 seconds to select “open rear door” in which you can free the burglar and gain a relationship! I think they may also call you up later that day
Here's a little secret I've never seen mentioned before and only seems to happen some of the time: if you cheat on Dina or Nina Caliente as Don Lothario, one or the other may storm to your house and slap you, basically finding out that you've been cheating. I think this is because, in 2, if you have multiple lovers that live on the same residential lot, there's a chance that one will tell the other, and your secret will be out!
Really appreciate the sims 2 content since I've started playing it again after many years lol! It still has its charm and the gameplay never gets boring even without the mods.
i feel it too. I had play all these sims2-3-4, now my mind yearn only horse and house build in sims3 and only spa in sims4 but all of it in sims2 😂. And that's mysterious for me.
The satellite is rare, but my sister was playing with her university sim. The sim was killed by a satellite when gazing at the clouds. Sis restarted this and literally the next day, her sim died again by another satellite- XP Guess that one was just really unlucky.
Lol i have a story also: so i was first playing the sims, and my neighbor's name was bob pancakes. And on my fridge it said to hire him as a caterer XD i thought it was so funny cause his last name is pancakes
I remember that happening to me in first family I ever created in the game, during the first few sim hours... was scarred for a long time and didn't let sims go out of the house too much :D
My friend and i were playing with a sims named Carly Fright. And she was killed by a satellite. And we wrote a poem about. Cant quite recall how it went but this brought back so many memories
i remember i once made a lovely young couple to start a new long family tree but on the day they moved in, the husband was crushed by a satellite and i was pissed ngl
3:08 Well I was *really* unlucky the first time I played this game when I was 10 years old. I was like 15 minutes in, everything was new, I was so impressed with everything. You can even cloudgaze! I thought it's a good idea. My first ever sim in The SIms 2 died pretty much less than a minute. I cried.
When I clicked on this I was like "yeah right, I'm gonna know all of these.." I was shocked when over half of these were completely undiscovered by me and I'm a veteran sims player. Not only do you get a like, I added this to my gaming playlist and you have a new subscriber! Very well done, awesome job!
Right? I was atonished. Gonna confess, I missed some thing from TS1 when I played TS2 the first time, but that's because I was comparing TS2 basegame with TS1 expanded. TS2 ultimate is perfect

When I was like 10 my mum played sims and had paused it just as a sim was cloud gazing. I think she went to the bathroom or something, but anyway I sat down by the game and unpaused. Not a second later the sim is dead from a satellite. None of us had any idea that could happen and I got so upset that I had murdered my mums sim.
Bruh, my mom would ask why I killed her Sims lmao. She was playing The Sims Freeplay on her phone, and there's a thing if you shake the device, they get sick. I did that over and over and they threw up Every. Single. Time.
It kinda makes me sad that some of these reference are only found in the English version, not all the jokes were directly translated to German... A little fun fact: one of the very cheap pieces of furniture from the base game says it's from AEKI (an obvious IKEA reference) but I kinda find it even funnier becausea few years later, EAxis published an actual IKEA stuff pack for The Sims 2 lol
@@11more40 From which country are you and that's her name in your language? Really interested in that 👀 In Germany, Bella kept her first name but her last name is "Grusel", derived from the German word "gruselig" (= "spooky")
There are so many funny descriptions of Objects, floors, tapestry and even of community lots! :D Well sometimes they couldn't translate the puns so well into other languages but if you're good at english you might still understand them sometimes :D I loooove how they took so much effort for writing all these cute descriptions
༼ oل͟o ༼ oل͟o ༽ oل͟o ༽ Aww thank you! Actually I’m Swedish. The franchise is huge in all of Scandinavia and my family collects moomin items and is a bit overly obsessed haha
Lmao, I played Sims 2 on the PS2 first so when I got the PC version, I was tripping out too. 'Her hair MOVES. The sofa actually INDENTS when my sim sits down!' I was so amazed.
I still remember when I played for the first time the sims2. I made a family with 2 parents, 1 teenager and 1 kild. I put them stargaze and the kid was hit by the meteor. I cried
That was another thing back in the day; Maxis acknowledged that children can have fatal accidents just as easily as adults can and they weren't afraid to let the kids die. In my S2 Castaway, one of my kids was swimming in the sea and a storm broke. A bolt of lightning hit the water and my kid died.
Damn every time I see something Sims 2 related I want to play it again :( Edit: wow, that was a really interesting video, thanks :) can you do more easter egg videos?
I'm crazy about Sims 2, and I thought I'd know all of these! It makes me really happy that you use the in-game sims, it makes it more relatable. I'm not finished with the video yet, but I know that the Brick Rolled was definitely new to me. Most of the object references were! I'm glad to see there are still people willing to make informative Sims 2 videos out there! I've also been looking at that Wil Wright statue in Strangetown for so long, trying to puzzle out who it is. Thanks for clearing it up!
Omg, I didn't know most of them, and I've been an avid player of the Sims 2 since 2005! It's still the only Sims game I play regularly! The secret lot in Belladonna Cove blew my mind the most. I've played in that town a million times, and I had NO idea!! :O
In Sims 2 Bon Voyage, you can place beach lots for your sims to live on and be able to swim in the ocean. You can also buy a pirate ship and place it on the lot for your sims to explore. There is a ghost pirate on board that if you talk to him, he may teach you a pirate song (my observation is that the song sounds like “A Pirate’s Life for Me” but please correct me if I’m wrong about that)
That takes all the fun from the CAS. How can I create blatant insults to the human hubris with the Sims 4 CAS? You can’t. I like the Sims 2 CAS just because of how awful it is.
3:26 Oooh, I remember one year in English class I realized something about the social bunny: it's probably a reference to a play called "Harvey" about a guy who has an invisible friend that he describes as an anthropomorphic rabbit, and everybody's pretty sure he's crazy. Harvey's not as well known as some of the other stuff referenced in the game so not as many people might realize it's a reference. I thought it was pretty cool when I realized that though.
Yes! Everyone thinks it's a Donnie Darko reference (which may be), but that film is at the same time obviously influenced by Harvey. Such a lovely and funny film.
1:14 “Styx” is also the name of the river you have to go through when you’re going to the Underworld, which is where dead people goes according to Greek mythology
Okay, I’ll admit it...I did not know that 50th Easter egg. Pretty cool there’s stuff that I still may not know about! And I just love the Sims 2, I always hum the soundtrack whenever I hear it, I can’t resist XD
Man, the Sims 2 is so great. I find new things every time I play and damn I just found some more. The Sims really went down hill since EA started caring more about money.
Onlyabidoang, I am Brazilian and I follow your channel since last year 2018, and I have been thanking you for the subtitles in Portuguese in the videos :-)
The Sims 2 had SOUL. The tiny little details, animations, hidden autonomy stuff, the witty text, the wonderful gameplay, cut scenes, charm, humour (often dark), the mysteries... Gosh, I love this game so much to this day. If I were a billionaire, I'd hire the best people to form a team to create the ultimate competitor life sim game, giving them all the development time, money amd other resources needed to make it happen with no greedy leaders, and would make sure the team is balanced and not ridiculously top-heavy like Sims 4's among other things...
The stereo mentioned at 6:49 is called the 'Fun-Tastic Frequency Stereo from Kauker Inc.' The name 'Kauker Inc.' refers to the last name of someone who worked on the audio for the Sims 2 - Robi Kauker. As well as this, there is a police officer in Pleasantview called Dorian Kauker.
If you look at the Sims 2 credits, a lot of the random townie names are the names of people who worked on the game! www.mobygames.com/game/windows/sims-2/credits
Играла в Симс 2 с тех пор, как мне исполнилось 7 в 2004...и вплоть до сегодняшнего дня не знала, что в Симс спрятали избушку на курьих ножках 😂 обожаю эту игру - каждый раз что-то новое
Did you know that the flying pig is a reference to Pink Floyd's "Animals" album cover? And also Baba Jaga isn't only russian legend, she's *SLAVIC* folklor character- soooo *not only russian*!!!!!!!!!!
I spent my childhood playing The Sims 1 & 2. I recently downloaded TS4 to give it a go and thought it was awful. Completely lacks the character and atmosphere of the old games. Gonna have to dig out my old computer to get on the OGs again!
I think they designed Sims 4 to have the most interesting and exciting part be buying a new pack. It really sucks. I completely stopped playing 4 after downloading the ultimate version of 2. Never looked back really
This is such amazing content. I play the Sims 2 since its release in 2004. I knew quite a few of your Easter eggs already but you learned me a lot through this fun and cool video. You got my subscription mister!
Look how inventive, creative and out of the box the Sims 2 is. It is by far the best Sims game, I've felt that way ever since I first bought the Sims 3. The penguins, and oh, look at those... spiral stairs.
LOVED the video! Also there's a carpet called "Hey Jute Carpet" in build mode and it has lyrics from the Beatles' song Hey Jude :) Thanks for the Mod links too!!
Sims games in a nutshell: Sims 1: Outdated Orchestral Classic Sims 2: Funky, Fun, and Mysterious Sequel Sims 3: Great yet Broken Nostalgic Masterpiece Sims 4: Sims 2 But WACKY and WORSE Edit: Sims 3 is my favorite because of the open world and angled items and stuff, then Sims 2, slightly below Sims 4, then sims 1 just because of how outdated it is
Angled items? Do you mean when you rotate them? You can do that on Sims 2 as well, you just need to use some cheats. You can place objects off the grid as well. Angle cheat -> boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation [true/false] Off grid cheat -> boolProp snapObjectsToGrid [true/false] Sims 2 is one of the best games actually, bc it doesn't have a lot of bugs and it has a whole bunch of details. Sims 3 was innovative but it's an ok game imo. Sims 4 is... well, it lacks a lot of stuff that it's predecessors had (Sims 2 is far more interesting, and c'mon this game was made in the early 2000s). I honestly don't know what they're doing with this generation, they're probably just milking their own fan base at this point lol.
Back in the good old days of The Sims franchise. Idk about you guys, but sims 2 is the most complete version of all generations. There were cars, complete life stages with their own unique experience, good graphics for it’s time, stable gameplay, deep experiences, best reationship/dating/hangout system, memories, wants and Fears, aspirarion meter, neighborhoods with their unique lore and history, dramma, EXTREMELLY smart sims with real personalities and preferences, good apartament system, a great business system, amazing college experience(really, going to university in sims 2 felt always so real and nostalgic with their 90’s vibe), smart functional pets and the BEST vacation/trips system, that really made you feel like you’re in vacation, and let’s not forget, a GREAT genetics/genes system. God, i wish they could do a sims 5 like this again. There are no flaws that i could point on sims 2.
*Me:* "Wait, is there a friggin' Rick Roll reference in The Sims 2? But this meme is so rece..." *Wikipedia:* "The first known instance of a rickroll occurred in May 2007 on /v/, 4chan's video game board." *Me:* "Daaaaaammmmnnn..."
0:06 *I love the fact that at the top left screen there is a lot where a bunch of MASSIVE decorative stone heads is just staring at the house like it's a casual thing that every village/neighborhood has to have.*
1:06 Yes Styx may be a rock band, but it is also the river in greek mythology that souls rode through to the underworld, Hades, so it's kind of a clever pun!
I’ve been playing this game since it game out, I always put Downtown on my neighborhoods, and I have NEVER realized before today that Cold Issue Clothing was a pun on Hot Topic. 🤦♀️
This isn't really an Easter egg but it's kind of a secret that in The Sims 2 when parents are getting in an argument/fight and their kid catches them, the kid might run away from home

Girl (pink) bunny and boy (blue) bunny can also have romantic interactions if two sims social meters drop at the same time.
No it's a reference to Harvey. Much older movie than Darko and staring a much better actor, Jimmy Stewart
Also the movie Harvey with Jimmy Stewart
„Well too bad for you, bianca, I work in the home furnishings warehouse“ is such a powerful line

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it, that must have been heartbreaking as a ten year old.
Bruh, my mom would ask why I killed her Sims lmao.
She was playing The Sims Freeplay on her phone, and there's a thing if you shake the device, they get sick.
I did that over and over and they threw up Every. Single. Time.
I would of put it back on pause and left the room as if I knew nothing.
Playing Sims 2 with your mum has to be like the coolest thing ever
If they released a remaster version of the sims 2 for modern computers, it all over. I’d be beyond happy.
Yes ea will make tons of money if they did that, but same graphic style but remastered and some of the danger bugs fixed.
They would but would monetize the crap out of it
I'm shocked by how many of these shocked me.
Same 😂
Back when the sims had character
100 likes? Congrats!
Omg I just Realized THANK YOU GUYS! 😭❤
Sims 3 still has character
The Sims 3????
The Sims 2 had SO MUCH CHARACTER! Damn, I miss this...
It kinda makes me sad that some of these reference are only found in the English version, not all the jokes were directly translated to German...
A little fun fact: one of the very cheap pieces of furniture from the base game says it's from AEKI (an obvious IKEA reference) but I kinda find it even funnier becausea few years later, EAxis published an actual IKEA stuff pack for The Sims 2 lol
Ich liebe die deutsche Version aber dennoch total, ich weiß nich mal wieso
@Security Cam Sam nice one
in my county Bella Goth doesn’t even has this name, her first and last name are totally changed, and she is like so iconic for the the sims
@@11more40 From which country are you and that's her name in your language? Really interested in that 👀 In Germany, Bella kept her first name but her last name is "Grusel", derived from the German word "gruselig" (= "spooky")
There are so many funny descriptions of Objects, floors, tapestry and even of community lots! :D Well sometimes they couldn't translate the puns so well into other languages but if you're good at english you might still understand them sometimes :D
I loooove how they took so much effort for writing all these cute descriptions
Gosh your video make me wanna play the sims 2 again.. I miss it soooooooooooooo much
where can i find it free for my new laptop? 😂

”hold me closer” by tiny dresser
I love sims
༼ oل͟o ༼ oل͟o ༽ oل͟o ༽ Aww thank you! Actually I’m Swedish. The franchise is huge in all of Scandinavia and my family collects moomin items and is a bit overly obsessed haha
I only freaked out when i saw The Sims 2 gives your sims hair that flops and not stiff like in a snowstorm
Lmao, I played Sims 2 on the PS2 first so when I got the PC version, I was tripping out too. 'Her hair MOVES. The sofa actually INDENTS when my sim sits down!' I was so amazed.
The music already gave me goosebumps. I used to play the sims 2 24/7
there's also an avril lavigne reference on female teen clothing
All my teens wore it and I remember thinking it was the coolest outfit ever as a child... Yikes 😂😂😂
Sims 2 forever bro.
I still play the game, have all the expansions. Just can't get bored. Been playing since 2007.
Me : deletes all the mods today
Onlyabidoang : gurl u might regret this
I saw a penguin in university thinking about E=MC. Maybe it was going to apply to university lol
That's funny 😂😂
Will Wright looks like Jim Pickens
If you don’t know Jim Pickens, what are you doing search him up and thank me later
Lauren Dyer AHAHAHAHAH
Alishba Kazi he does though doesn’t he? Hahaha
The dear leader!
phi all hail the dear leader
It was a prophecy... one man (?) to rule over the sims franchise for eternity
sims 2: Strangeville
sims 4: Strangerville
sims 6: Strangestville
bold of you to assume it'll ever actually make it past 5.... 😬 (at least with the way EA is handling it now)
Interesting fact: In the Russian version, Strangeville (or Strangetown, I don't know) is called "Kitezhgrad"
@@Pani_MeLiT0 that would be a weird pack name
*Strangetown!
@@claireglover1391nuh, russian translators were way too creative with it
Its Harry Potter's birthday and he is in the thumb nail.
Bless this channel.
I still remember when I played for the first time the sims2. I made a family with 2 parents, 1 teenager and 1 kild. I put them stargaze and the kid was hit by the meteor. I cried
Lmaoo😭😭
That was another thing back in the day; Maxis acknowledged that children can have fatal accidents just as easily as adults can and they weren't afraid to let the kids die. In my S2 Castaway, one of my kids was swimming in the sea and a storm broke. A bolt of lightning hit the water and my kid died.
Damn every time I see something Sims 2 related I want to play it again :(
Edit: wow, that was a really interesting video, thanks :) can you do more easter egg videos?
wait ur profile pictuure... dat gameeeee 🤣
I'm crazy about Sims 2, and I thought I'd know all of these! It makes me really happy that you use the in-game sims, it makes it more relatable.
I'm not finished with the video yet, but I know that the Brick Rolled was definitely new to me. Most of the object references were! I'm glad to see there are still people willing to make informative Sims 2 videos out there!
I've also been looking at that Wil Wright statue in Strangetown for so long, trying to puzzle out who it is. Thanks for clearing it up!
Omg, I didn't know most of them, and I've been an avid player of the Sims 2 since 2005! It's still the only Sims game I play regularly!
The secret lot in Belladonna Cove blew my mind the most. I've played in that town a million times, and I had NO idea!! :O
Ikr
In Sims 2 Bon Voyage, you can place beach lots for your sims to live on and be able to swim in the ocean. You can also buy a pirate ship and place it on the lot for your sims to explore. There is a ghost pirate on board that if you talk to him, he may teach you a pirate song (my observation is that the song sounds like “A Pirate’s Life for Me” but please correct me if I’m wrong about that)
I always loved that
I’ll take everything from the sims 2 plus the graphics of the sims 4 please.
That takes all the fun from the CAS. How can I create blatant insults to the human hubris with the Sims 4 CAS? You can’t. I like the Sims 2 CAS just because of how awful it is.
I find the graphics to not really suffer that much. Check out the food preparation for instance; lobster thermidor is a good example. Compare 2 to 4.
3:26
Oooh, I remember one year in English class I realized something about the social bunny: it's probably a reference to a play called "Harvey" about a guy who has an invisible friend that he describes as an anthropomorphic rabbit, and everybody's pretty sure he's crazy.
Harvey's not as well known as some of the other stuff referenced in the game so not as many people might realize it's a reference. I thought it was pretty cool when I realized that though.
Yes! Everyone thinks it's a Donnie Darko reference (which may be), but that film is at the same time obviously influenced by Harvey. Such a lovely and funny film.
This deserves more love
1:14 “Styx” is also the name of the river you have to go through when you’re going to the Underworld, which is where dead people goes according to Greek mythology
I've been playing for 10 years but still learning new stuff.. 🙃 Such a nice game
Okay, I’ll admit it...I did not know that 50th Easter egg. Pretty cool there’s stuff that I still may not know about! And I just love the Sims 2, I always hum the soundtrack whenever I hear it, I can’t resist XD
I've been playing the Sims 2 since I was 6 years old and I still didn't know quite a lot of these Easter eggs. Thanks for making this video.
Omg I did not realize how amazingly creative and detailed the sims 2 was when I was little. They really lost that imagination in the sims 3 and 4
Man, the Sims 2 is so great. I find new things every time I play and damn I just found some more. The Sims really went down hill since EA started caring more about money.
Onlyabidoang, I am Brazilian and I follow your channel since last year 2018, and I have been thanking you for the subtitles in Portuguese in the videos :-)
The Sims 2 had SOUL. The tiny little details, animations, hidden autonomy stuff, the witty text, the wonderful gameplay, cut scenes, charm, humour (often dark), the mysteries... Gosh, I love this game so much to this day. If I were a billionaire, I'd hire the best people to form a team to create the ultimate competitor life sim game, giving them all the development time, money amd other resources needed to make it happen with no greedy leaders, and would make sure the team is balanced and not ridiculously top-heavy like Sims 4's among other things...
The Sims 2 is the best sorry I don’t make the rules 🤷🏼♀️
The stereo mentioned at 6:49 is called the 'Fun-Tastic Frequency Stereo from Kauker Inc.' The name 'Kauker Inc.' refers to the last name of someone who worked on the audio for the Sims 2 - Robi Kauker. As well as this, there is a police officer in Pleasantview called Dorian Kauker.
If you look at the Sims 2 credits, a lot of the random townie names are the names of people who worked on the game! www.mobygames.com/game/windows/sims-2/credits
Totally crack up at 4:11. Never expected that. Great vid as always onlyabidoang!
Aoi Chan * insert complete nonsense here *
8:48 “making unique people look like everyone else since 2005” XD
16:09 it's actually a Baba YagA, not YAga, anyway, love from Russia❤️
Баба Йога)))
Играла в Симс 2 с тех пор, как мне исполнилось 7 в 2004...и вплоть до сегодняшнего дня не знала, что в Симс спрятали избушку на курьих ножках 😂 обожаю эту игру - каждый раз что-то новое
Well depends, in Polish it's Baba YAga
The fact that I've been playing this since it came out in 2004 and I'm STILL learning new things about it is INSANE. What an amazing game.
Did you know that the flying pig is a reference to Pink Floyd's "Animals" album cover?
And also Baba Jaga isn't only russian legend, she's *SLAVIC* folklor character- soooo *not only russian*!!!!!!!!!!
I spent my childhood playing The Sims 1 & 2. I recently downloaded TS4 to give it a go and thought it was awful. Completely lacks the character and atmosphere of the old games. Gonna have to dig out my old computer to get on the OGs again!
I think they designed Sims 4 to have the most interesting and exciting part be buying a new pack. It really sucks. I completely stopped playing 4 after downloading the ultimate version of 2. Never looked back really
this was posted just as I was playing Sims2! best game!
I wish I could still play it :( my new laptop is not compatible with the game
I legitimately feel bad for the people who can’t play this masterpiece.
This was genuinely one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen, I wanna play the sims 2 now 😂
This is such amazing content. I play the Sims 2 since its release in 2004. I knew quite a few of your Easter eggs already but you learned me a lot through this fun and cool video. You got my subscription mister!
and 11 years later I finally found out how to summon Santa in Sims 2 ahahaha.
Same!!!!
Look how inventive, creative and out of the box the Sims 2 is. It is by far the best Sims game, I've felt that way ever since I first bought the Sims 3. The penguins, and oh, look at those... spiral stairs.
I have played the sims 2 since it came out, and I didn't know some of these! Incredible! Thanks for the great video!
LOVED the video! Also there's a carpet called "Hey Jute Carpet" in build mode and it has lyrics from the Beatles' song Hey Jude :) Thanks for the Mod links too!!
Sims games in a nutshell:
Sims 1: Outdated Orchestral Classic
Sims 2: Funky, Fun, and Mysterious Sequel
Sims 3: Great yet Broken Nostalgic Masterpiece
Sims 4: Sims 2 But WACKY and WORSE
Edit: Sims 3 is my favorite because of the open world and angled items and stuff, then Sims 2, slightly below Sims 4, then sims 1 just because of how outdated it is
Well, Nostalgic is depends on the person, for me (as mor many others) is it mostly Sims 2. Besides it also beeing the best Sims game out of all :D
I prefer the sims 3 the most
I still frequently play Sims 2 never played any other
Angled items? Do you mean when you rotate them? You can do that on Sims 2 as well, you just need to use some cheats. You can place objects off the grid as well.
Angle cheat -> boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation [true/false]
Off grid cheat -> boolProp snapObjectsToGrid [true/false]
Sims 2 is one of the best games actually, bc it doesn't have a lot of bugs and it has a whole bunch of details. Sims 3 was innovative but it's an ok game imo. Sims 4 is... well, it lacks a lot of stuff that it's predecessors had (Sims 2 is far more interesting, and c'mon this game was made in the early 2000s). I honestly don't know what they're doing with this generation, they're probably just milking their own fan base at this point lol.
@@aneex5193 same
This game is just amazing, please do more of the Sims 2!
The low social Sim : thanks for the social bunny
Also that same Sim : I'm super hungry can I have a catering bunny now?
When sims graduate from university in sims2 the memory of that says that they thank their creator Will Wright
@@piiga That would explain a lot since Will Wright came with the idea of sims, so in a way he is their creator
Back in the good old days of The Sims franchise. Idk about you guys, but sims 2 is the most complete version of all generations. There were cars, complete life stages with their own unique experience, good graphics for it’s time, stable gameplay, deep experiences, best reationship/dating/hangout system, memories, wants and Fears, aspirarion meter, neighborhoods with their unique lore and history, dramma, EXTREMELLY smart sims with real personalities and preferences, good apartament system, a great business system, amazing college experience(really, going to university in sims 2 felt always so real and nostalgic with their 90’s vibe), smart functional pets and the BEST vacation/trips system, that really made you feel like you’re in vacation, and let’s not forget, a GREAT genetics/genes system. God, i wish they could do a sims 5 like this again. There are no flaws that i could point on sims 2.
*Me:* "Wait, is there a friggin' Rick Roll reference in The Sims 2? But this meme is so rece..."
*Wikipedia:* "The first known instance of a rickroll occurred in May 2007 on /v/, 4chan's video game board."
*Me:* "Daaaaaammmmnnn..."
7:53 Oh, I remember so dearly this house. The first time I killed a sim was in there, and I was so devastated
Yasss been waiting for this🙌
all your videos are class!
0:06 *I love the fact that at the top left screen there is a lot where a bunch of MASSIVE decorative stone heads is just staring at the house like it's a casual thing that every village/neighborhood has to have.*
You could totally make the videos longer if you like, sounds fun
by the way, there is also a street in pleasantview that is called 'wright way' which is a reference to the will wright and a play on "right way"!
I've playing the sims 2 forever and I was still new to some things you mentioned in the video, lol
As a French person, I just love to hear you say "bon voyage".
1:06 Yes Styx may be a rock band, but it is also the river in greek mythology that souls rode through to the underworld, Hades, so it's kind of a clever pun!
All the details put in the Sims 2 is crazy man
I’ve been playing this game since it game out, I always put Downtown on my neighborhoods, and I have NEVER realized before today that Cold Issue Clothing was a pun on Hot Topic. 🤦♀️
2:59 instantly made this one of my favorite channels
I recently started Playing the Sims 2.
only to spam millions of babies and let them be taken away.. lmao
😂😂😂😂😃🤣
Uh....
Hi, do you know where I could get the sims 2? I can't find it anywhere tbh 😭
@@whateveryouneed4858 order it online
Naoko that's what he or she should do
At 6:55, the album below Radiohead is Midnight Vultures by Beck !!!
9:49 actually in polish versions of the sims 2 there is a hidden interaction called ,,tug ‘o war” and it’s written there like I did here
You made me wanna play sims 2 again! It sure is the superior! Please do a video with must have mods!
Thank you for sharing! I didn't know some of these! I love how the sims 2 can still surprise me after all these years!
This isn't really an Easter egg but it's kind of a secret that in The Sims 2 when parents are getting in an argument/fight and their kid catches them, the kid might run away from home
Okay, I'm installing The Sims 2 now.
