Can I SAVE The Dreamer Family? (Sims 2)

Can I Save the Dreamer family in The Sims 2? In this fun Sims 2 challenge video, I try to give the members of the Dreamer household the life they deserve. Our success (or lack thereof) will mainly be based on how many wants we manage to complete for each family member, how well they do at work/school, the completion of various other milestones that we'll attempt throughout the video, as well as the overall level of wholesomeness. I thought this video would be fairly straightforward and chill but let me tell you, it was anything but that haha, enjoy!

I just love how sims in 2 fall in love so unexpectedly. There’s this household in the Academy Le Tour university hood, whose bio implies they’re just bros, totally straight bros, absolutely no chemistry, not even crushing on each other. Next thing I know they autonomously flirt and make out at a downtown restaurant

[@ravenID429]

LOL maybe they did that on purpose

[@Redhead-pf8le]

Their names are literally Mitch and Max aka Mix and Match That was totally intended

[@PeteQuaint]

@@Redhead-pf8le yeah but they started as friends for me in game, which is why I find it both neat and hilarious. Had it been the later games I don't think they can just do that.

[@DewanRajean]

After all that HARD work you put Don through to be such a successful husband - I'm disappointed in Cassandra 😭😒

[@crazymarq4390]

Same, seems like the tables have turned 😭

[@DewanRajean]

"Don put that menu down I'm not paying for dessert." 😂😂😂😂 another awesome ep! I'm loving this mini series 🍿🍿🍿

[@crazymarq4390]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@Martislayxoxo]

Love how the only 5 things Dirk did in the entire video was: -Collecting money from a tree -getting rejected by his friends -burning the house down and eating burnt spaghetti (truly canon event) -digging through the park with his dad -going to college

[@crazymarq4390]

I wanted to get him more involved but the other Pleasantview teens were off to uni and his new friends rejected him most of the time so there wasn’t much to film 💀 Plus Darren’s chaotic energy kinda stole the show haha. At least he got to attend the elite private school for a day ig

[@donnalee.]

You didn't even bring him along on vacation 😠 the poor kid deserved it

[@antonioderosa2815]

I love this. Can't wait for the caliente sisters

[@crazymarq4390]

Thank you, the Calientes are getting their episode in the near future 😊 Also, congrats on being the first commenter!

[@nachoxpsi970]

This is my favorite household to play with, honestly I always make Darren marry Cassandra so they can have the happiness they so deserve with money, paintings and children, i not expect Brandi take that place but that's so refresh.. they are a wholesome ship i love it ❤

[@crazymarq4390]

Thanks for watching! This household is so fun to play, it has great lore with a fun challenge. Brandi and Darren are so cute together too ☺️

[@Juskaey]

Oh lawd, not Cassie falling in food fight love and then "cheating" on Darren with HER HUSBAND. I was so sure you were getting the voodoo doll for revenge on Cassandra, though 😂 Darren and Brandi got together for me, too. He pretty much raised Beau and unborn baby Broke as his own, got close with Dustin, and they also had 3 more kids together. Dirk and Dustin were BFFs until Lillith decided to make out with Dustin while she was over one day. Dirk and Lillith did eventually get back together in college, but the boys never really recovered. I love having family reunions with them cuz there's so many grandkids to invite over which is great for Brandi cuz she constantly wants to throw parties (secondary Popularity sim).

[@crazymarq4390]

This is why I didn’t want to reveal my plan entirely, I wanted to keep y’all guessing 🤭 Altho we still have a few extra spells left before it stops working 👀 Your gameplay sounds cool af, thank you for sharing! Seems like this couple opens up a lot of opportunities for drama haha

[@lgbtyler6791]

thank YOU I suddenly tuned into the background music and couldn't figure out where I recognized it from lmao

[@iirachelmadness8677]

Another awesome episode! Darren and Dirk deserve their best lives. I didn't realize Darren and Brandi would be so cute together. Makes sense though, both widowed single parents! The picture of Brandi that Darren painted with her goofy face was funny.

[@crazymarq4390]

Thank you, I tried my best to make sure they were thriving. And yeah, Brandi and Darren are such a cute couple 🥹

[@sleeplesstime]

Lol I was certain you'd use the voodoo doll to take revenge on Cassandra, and then bamm it was just for the headmaster. Also the ending scene with that painting on the wall killed me lmao.

[@crazymarq4390]

Haha this is exactly why I didn’t want to reveal my full plan too soon, had to keep y’all guessing 🤭

[@70n24]

Now that I think about it... Is there a household that DOESN'T need saving? Great content like always!

[@crazymarq4390]

They are so cute together! I was lowkey hoping they’d get together but wasn’t expecting them to get along THIS well haha

[@Savannnahjones879]

This series is so wholesome! (so far lol) I love that you’re circling through the whole neighbourhood. I’d love to see you move on to Veronaville and Strangetown when you’re done (and maybe even try out my suggestion with Ajay Loner :p). Love these videos man, keep up the good work!

[@crazymarq4390]

Thank you! Strangetown is on my list, lots of people there need some serious help haha, and I’ll make sure to get Ajay involved too 😊 I might give Veronaville a shot after Strangetown, I’m sure it’ll be a huge challenge to make those families reside in peace

[@lucydragonlover5330]

ohh i am really loving these videos! i love the the idea of giving these families a second chance of a happier life :) do you think you could do the Grunt family next? i always feel bad for the kids for the dad Buzz being so hard on them to follow his Military footsteps.

[@crazymarq4390]

Thank you! And sure, I’ll finish up Pleasantview first since I just have the Calientes to play, and then I’m moving on to Strangetown, starting off with either the Beaker or the Grunt family 😊

Meanwhile in my game Darren fell in love with one of the SSU college pre-mades which I didn't know she was a college student at first so looking back I just lmao. But at least he only stayed loyal to the one, let's just say Daniel and Don need to be kept away from SSU at all costs.

To be honest, I always unlocked career rewards (using the code, of course)). Then I made Darren and Dirk earn money and afterwards they brought Darleen to life) she is beautiful. When you bring her to life, Darren's feelings automatically turn to love (100 points).

This vacation would have been for the Father and Son! (plus I felt his son went to college by now!)

It was more of a short adventure than a chill vacation because I only went there to get the voodoo doll, so I only sent Darren there to get the job done quickly. If it was a longer vacation, I would've sent both of them

[@NoIdleSims]

Awwwww this was so cute!! Recently downloaded Sims 2 and playing with the dreamer family first. Definitely got Darren with Cassandra and their relationship is so weird because it skipped right over the option to go steady and went straight to propose marriage.

Hey, something mid-range is good enough, you don’t need anything too crazy, but aim for a processor with at least 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM and a GPU with at least 4GB vRAM. A sizeable SSD would be great for shorter loading times, but it isn’t necessary Sims 2 is very tricky to find legally nowadays, your best bet would be to look up on places like eBay and amazon, or at a second-hand store
