This Forgotten Family is WEIRD (Sims 2)

PT9 and Sky having matching red Hawaiian shirts is too freaking adorable!

[@sugarbydesign]

25:30 you woohooed that man to death

[@crazymarq4390]

I suppose you could say he went out with a bang 🤭

[@andresllorente5852]

9:24 LOL😂😂😂😂😂 -Jill: A+ in Math -Pol. Tech #9: get out!!!!

[@vonniebeth]

At least PT9 died happy. When I was 13, I played the Monty family, and I cheated Romeo, Mercutio, and Juliette into adults so Patrizio, Isabella, and Consort would be at Romeo and Juliette's wedding. Patrizio died immediately following the wedding, and then became an angry ghost because I decided on a whim to have Isabella and Consort get married afterwards.

[@floptaxie68]

I always fear my sims getting old and extend their lives. Like I perceive getting old as something bad, cuz Sims lives are so short😭 but they look happy after they age

[@crazymarq4390]

Sims in this game are so full of character it’s hard not to get attached to them 🥲

[@floptaxie68]

@@crazymarq4390 exactly you can actually feel that they have feelings too and that their relationships with each other are real, their random wants are relatable as well.

[@amzieeherb1981]

Wow! Definitely didn't expect the ending and Poli 9 to go so soon but he did indeed is a type to live life to the fullest! I do feel sorry for Jenny she really loved him...

[@TomokoChan]

I'm guessing Jill lost 1k aspiration points because maybe she had a fear of having a party 😂

[@crazymarq4390]

I wish I was paying attention 😭

[@koololdster]

Classic Marq, pulling a switcheroo! Having both a bd party and moving Johnny to college. You never fail to entertain with your novel choices. Any one, “I have a new way to play the Sims!” Marq, “Hold my beer!”

[@benassulinskas6412]

Just finished playing with this family. Basically, what happened was: 1. Johnny and Ophelia got married, moved into this house, and had two children. Johnny is a politican fighting for alien and black rights. Ophelia is a journalist who is exposing everyone. 2. Jill is staying in the same house and she’s a raging fierce lesbian with a career in music. 3. Polination was rather old to begin with, so he passed away pretty quick, whereas with Jenny, I tried to advance her career in medicine as much as I could and now (in her elder stage) she’s retired :)

[@crazymarq4390]

I love this!! Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@mage1the2dark]

Crumplebottom menacingly approaching the kiss and Grim Reaper like "sorry, miss, could you move so I kill your husband?" are top Sims 2 details. Considering your Animal Crossing music, your gameplays must also be wholesome/funny too, btw 😊

[@crazymarq4390]

Real, the timing in both of those scenes was so perfect 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@TheMya1988]

Once again, I 💖 the extra touch you put into each family❣ I remember when I first played the Smith family, being young, naive and totally oblivious to PT 9's scandalous and immoral past. Now, liken to how you pointed it out, I can never unsee it. I have played this family in so many different ways, as each new EP (and SP), was added. With just the base, I followed the Prima guide, only to be so heartbroken when Tank crashed Johnny's party and kicked his butt. 😢 With Uni (+NL), I made certain to make sure to play Ophelia first, getting Johnny's mood to platinum, enough to buy the Life Elixir (so, he did not have to immediately head off to college), made certain to level up his fitness, threw a house party, prior to going to college, and he whooped the Party crasher, Tank! With Seasons, I focused on the entire family, same with FT (only, made certain all there lives were extended, especially for Jenny to fulfill her 10 nooboo want). With AL, I did a neighborhood based Good vs. Evil witches/warlocks, with the Smiths on the Good side (unlike the Grunts: 2 evil, 2 good; guess who aligned where). With OFB, the Smiths had a home business (as their lot attracts a lot of attention). Again, I played them in various ways, but some aspects were nearly always consistent: Johnny and Ophelia remain together, Johnny and Ripp remain besties, Johnny and Tank go from enemies to besties at uni (when the General no longer has control over Tank), Jill and Buck end up together (or besties when one/both lean towards the LGBTQ side), PT 9 saves Bella from the Beakers (for his true redemption arc), and Jenny has lots of nooboos❣ Btw, I think you kinda broke the BD scenario for Johnny, by inviting Tank (the game expected him to crash, wreaking havoc)🤭❣ I think Jill has a hidden Popularity Token (unless I am confusing her with someone else), hence her always bringing home a friend. I almost always give her Knowledge too, for the same reason you gave, and I think I give her a Popularity Secondary. This family is the easiest to please (imo), and each of their deaths hits harder and harder, but I still love playing them❣👏👏👏

[@crazymarq4390]

Thank you!! I love the idea of Johnny showing Tank who’s the boss haha, also your other gameplay ideas with the packs are so creative! :) Somehow, Johnny and Tank squashing their beef in uni is so wholesome and I think I’ll explore that option in this gameplay too. And yeah, I also see Jill as a Knowledge/Popularity Sim, I was very torn between the two. Popularity as the secondary aspiration sounds great. I think Tank was saving himself for the second party because that one was pure chaos lmaooo

[@Fikamar27]

I remembered to load this family for the first time.... and quickly change to Curious household after surfing the family tree. Like nahhh I'm not gonna play them, I'd rather deal with the brothers than the sister 😂

[@crazymarq4390]

You know the bar is set low when the Curious brothers seem normal in comparison 💀

[@adobeshouldbefree]

tech#9 has a sketchy past

[@crazymarq4390]

[@olgajokic5361]

Well this family may be really weird, but it has good vibes😊 And that "Go home bro" lmao was laughing at it for straight 3 minutes😂😂😂😂😂 But nooooo the end is so sad😢

[@crazymarq4390]

It has good vibes until you delve into their family tree 😭 I felt so bad for Jenny at the end. At least her husband died happy ig 💀

[@mila1195]

Hahaha This Tank's hateful look at Johnny and PT9 and Ripp's reaction in the background of Jill's birthday. It was wonderful xDD

[@crazymarq4390]

That party was pure chaos 😭

[@susanagutierrezmartin]

In my game, Johnny marries Ophelia (I had already say this story in another video) and have a baby called Susan. Jill lives alone and works in Oceanography, Pollination died for old age and Jenny cries for him. The family ties are changed, because things like 0:58 are so strange. There is a character named Glabe Curious (repared with Simpe), she is the Single sisters' mother, and Jenny's aunt. Also, Lyla Grunt is Kristen Single's sister, for making more relationships.

[@crazymarq4390]

Good stuff, I like how you approached this. I’ll also try to get Jill into the Oceanography career in my game. But yeah, the way so many Sims are related makes the gameplay hella complicated long-term lmao

[@bethparsons3625]

Move objects on and delete it that's what I do when those glitches come up .

[@maggydiez9261]

That's why we love Sims 2 because it's so strange and funny at the same time. Thank you for making my evening better with the video, the day wasn't so good today. I needed that now. good night or day depending on the time zone. Warm greetings from Germany and hello Sky 😂❤

I usually change Poli’s name to Paul, like how many immigrants to the USA simplified their surnames? I think he would do something similar to fit in better and not advertise his former profession.

[@MarciBB]

ohh no way, the ending was desperate, poor family :( 20:50 Mrs. Crumplebottom on the background at their first kiss lmao 💀💀💀 hmm i think Jenn would be prettier with a different hairstyle 👀

[@crazymarq4390]

Lmao fr, the timing for that mrs. Crumplebottom cameo was perfect 😭

[@elifsaglam44]

The video was so wholesome until that end, my man ended on the peak of his life at least! I actually really like playing with the Smith family, love the mix of alien/human family :) and it can also make you turn the family into different and interesting stories!! Thank you for yet another video, really appreciate them 💖

[@crazymarq4390]

The timing was incredible 😭 I agree this family has a lot of gameplay options and the feud with general Grunt is especially interesting to me. Thank you for watching, it’s great having you here :)

[@jenaw5527]

Don't worry, I had the same reaction when I learned how their family tree is more than a little tangled. Edit: Also love how at 20:48 you can see Mrs. Crumplebottom in between the two of them during their first kiss!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets them one last child before PT9 dies and Jenny ages! Will you play the characters you send to college eventually? :o Keep up the good work Marq!

[@crazymarq4390]

I’ll most likely do the second round of Strangetown and it’ll begin with college gameplay :)

[@dik8164]

ohh, the sim that Jill asked out on a date is one of my fav townies, he's like Dirk, but with knowledge aspiration instead of fortune, i often let him enter university with my sims and marry one of them later 😂

[@crazymarq4390]

Ohh that’s good to know 😊 we’ll see if anything serious comes out of their relationship

[@IanPeriwinkle]

Seeing her in the video made me think - I’d love to see you play the Ottomas family. And maybe the Newmans too haha

[@crazymarq4390]

It'd certainly be cool to get the Family Bin households involved at some point, I'll see if I can find a good opportunity for it :)

[@irinamordavchenko2031]

Oh, I loved that family just like the Curious Brothers. My Jenny gave birth to a child, too. The red-haired kid was a little copy of his father. Johnny was still dating Ophelia. Jill became a Popularity Sim. She fell in love with Ripp Grunt. Ripp already had a romance with Erin, with Bella Goth, and with a few CAS-characters. All of Ripp's girlfriends already had children with him. But Jill was very persistent and, in the end, the indecisive Ripp finally chose Jill and married her. Jenny and Polli were still alive when I left Strangetown. That's because once I started using the Elixir of Life, I could not stop. Well, after all, it was Strangetown. Incredibly long life is not the strangest thing that happens to the characters of this town.

[@crazymarq4390]

Ripp is such a player haha, and I agree it’s hard to resist the Elixir of Life! I like your gameplay, thanks for sharing :)

[@UnstealableJewel]

The elder sims die too fast in sims 2, I dunno if was only my game but when I was playing sims 3 it took forever to an elder sim die of old age, they had passed the maximum days of their lives but would always add a new day if their mood was good lol

[@raindozer249]

In my game, Jenny and Pol Tech 9 also have another child (idk why but it's almost always twins in my game, but sometimes it's one child.) I name the baby/babies with names starting with "J" but sometimes I don't because most people in this family have "J" names already. Johnny either goes to college alongside Ophelia or he ages up into an adult with Ophelia and gets married and has one child with her unless she wishes for another one which she usually does(family sim) I always have him persue a political carreer. I pair Jill with Buck because imagine how General Buzz would react to his enemy's child dating/marrying his son (because she's half-alien.) As for changing Pol Tech 9's name I don't usually do that in game but I assume he would go by Paul like most people change his name too.

11:48 I get this bug with computer chairs! I still have no idea what causes it but for some reason the occupied flag doesn't clear properly and you vsnt use it.
