Professional Sims 4 Player Plays The Sims 2 For The First Time (In 10 Years)

[@epaor]

This is the reason why we, people who play the franchise from the beginning, think TS4 is too easy. You had to work up to get anything like in real life.

[@reenie920]

100% agree. Which I think why they keep having to come up with expansions quickly to keep us entertained. In sims 1 & 2, your whole focus was getting your needs right for a few days just for one sims day of fun with another sim lol

[@asianwanderer7243]

And it felt more involved and more invested when your third generation into your sim. The whole neighborhood fills and more and more people you interact with. It got to the point that people wanted to Jaeger their character with a VR setup. Would have been a cool idea.

[@KatieB1999]

Honestly everytime I watch a sims 4 video I’m like “no chance would they still be alive in sims 2” cos I’ve only ever played sims 2

[@jewels2113]

Exactly why I can’t even open the sims 4 it is sooooo boooooring. When it takes time to earn something it is so worth it. I really hope all the good parts of sims 2 and 3 and sims 4 graphics and building are put into the sims 5 😢

[@epaor]

@CarlCube well, we had them back then too, but only for cash I believe

[@kaylagourlie2932]

As someone who still actively plays the Sims 2, this was a treat Kelsey! 😂 There's mods to fix the resolution, black boxes under their feet, and remove the brightness in cas, plus so many more! And of course cc to make everything look better! I have the ultimate collection and it was fun seeing just the base game!

[@VioletKitty411]

Mods aren't actually even necessary. The Graphic Rules Maker actually does what I did manually in the program files. It looks fine on my native Win7 upgraded to Win10, but I needed to tweak on my native Win10. I love base game only play sometimes because you have to work harder. I have a TS4 save that is base game only that I play a 100 BC.

[@vanyadolly]

And a quick google search will tell how how to fix all those things and get the game running. 😅 It's was great to see her play, but I hope people don't get the impression it's a crashy. buggy mess. TS2 works just fine on modern computers once you set it up properly.

[@Bunnyhoneypot]

@@vanyadolly can I ask where you downloaded your sims 4?

[@sklsdjf]

you can fix the black box by going into video settings and turning off shadows I think, for most systems at least.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

No mod needed, just a couple settings fixes will take care of the black box.

​@@kelseydangerous there is a mod that fixes that, though! It's called the community time mod 😄 it makes it so when you go to a community lot, you spend your time with your sim there then when you go back to the home, you can play with the other Sims in your household during that time. There's a timer that says how long the Sims you took out were gone and when they'll be home. It's really good for realistic gameplay and if you have a lot of Sims that you need to move storylines forward for

Yeah, especially if both parents are working. The game doesn't hold your hand either, you don't hire a babysitter, guess you're losing performance because the games not calling one for you (ala Sims 3). I still love it for that difficulty and come back to it often.

Sims2 everything is a challenge so it depends on how you like you play. I like that it’s more realistic, you don’t immediately become bff with one photo for instance. There’s so many little details of sims2 I feel like sims5 definitely needs!

[@Justsay_Jackie]

The lore from Sims 2 is what turned me into a messy sims player😂 The stories were just so juicy. I loved this game so much!

[@feychanter]

girl you should post some gameplays. i was like 4 when i played this game i can’t remember anything ahahah

[@nicoleadrianee]

That was the nostalgia that I needed for today. Loved it.

[@Savvy1718]

Part of the challenge with relationships in TS2 is you have two relationship bars and how fast they go up depends on how much the other likes you. The sims have to have compatible personalities AND interests (which can be adjusted through reading magazines from the store for instance) and the bottom relationship bar has to be so high before deeper interactions work (or things like best friend or in-love status - if you hover over the symbols it shows a chart!). A lot of this was more intuitive at the time but still much harder game play for sure (lmao I messed up several relationships while learning) - I jumped from TS2 to 4 in like 2019 and when I say I was LOST it does not do it justice 😂 Anyway, this was great and fun! I hope you dabble in this again in the future, I think you could make such fun stories once you get the hang of it - the DRAMA you can have in this game. 👏👌 Thanks for another video! PS The aspiration points you get in this game give you really fun, silly and helpful "cheats" objects! (Treasure-chest thing below the needs tab on the panel). PPS Thanks to anyone who read this infodump lol

[@lunacouer]

I really miss the two-sided relationships. That right there would add so much gameplay. It's more realistic, having a sim want another sims to be in love with them - meanwhile, they can barely stand them 😅 Then again, I'd use Pescado's mod to make a sim spam interactions that would make the other sim like them when I shipped them, so there's that 😅

[@silverdoe9477]

My god I got a flashback when I first played sims 2 & I was *IN AWE AT THE 3D* compared to Sims 1. ❤😂

[@limeparticle]

I feel like Goopy was universally hated back in the day, and I guess there were reasons. Also thanks to the aging dynamics in The Sims 2, I used to make matches for my sim kids when they were children by having them pillow-fight with adult sims, they’d get to be best friends and then I’d just wait for my kids to grow up so they could get married. In retrospect, I realize this was problematic 😅

Instead of 100 baby challenge, you should do a 10 baby challenge. Play it across sims 1,2,3, and 4 and build the same house using only base game items to see how different the build items are. (I know you did the 100 baby challenge with 4, so maybe just a house build to compare.)

[@LisaW509]

I wish I could cherry-pick certain things from TS2 and TS3, and create an incredible custom Sims game!

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Hoping Paralives is close to that custom game I dream of. 😂😂

[@robinchesterfield42]

DUDE I WOULD SO DO THAT. Some of the difficulty/meanness of Sims 1 and 2, generations, genetics, weather, pets, travelling, cars, CREATE A FREAKING STYLE (as an option!) and the quality-of-life convenience improvements of Sims 4. Oh, and the build mode of 4, it's easily the best. I would play the FRICK out of that. :D

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Some one made Strangetown a downloadable world for Sims 3 - with every sim in it. It was quite the experience.

From what I remember, improving your environment and comfort goes a long way to help maintain the Sims needs a lot better. A lot of items have an environment number, so, yeah, sometimes you had to sacrifice aesthetics for the item that made the Sims happier. Same with comfort, chairs, beds, even toilets will have a comfort number.

[@imalittletoxicjustalittle]

there is enough at max were you dont really need to sacrifice how stuff looks, in my sims 2 house everything is the highest environment possible but it still looks nice also paintings help a lot as some have 10 environment making sure there is carpet and paint/wallpaper also helps a ton

The "rug" is a shadow shader that doesn't load properly on Win10 and Win11 in the sims. You can add in other resolutions in the conf file but it has a chance of crashing the game if you try to force it wide-screen. You can up the resolution in the 4:3 resolution.

I started playing The Sims 2 when it first came out in 2004. I still play it almost 20 years later. I don't have all the expansions, but I have most of them. I can't imagine going back and playing just the base game again with no expansions. I think it would drive me crazy! I know that Sims 2 expansions are difficult/expensive to get ahold of nowadays, but if you get the chance, I would love to see you play Sims 2 again with at least one expansion and compare it to the Sims 4. I think you'd really love the Nightlife expansion; it allows sims to go on dates and introduces romantic chemistry. It tends to be easier and faster to build relationships between sims who have good chemistry. My favorite Sims 2 expansion is FreeTime. It offers Lifetime Aspiration Benefits which allow you to slow down your sims' need decay (among other helpful perks).

As a sims 2 player this was funny as if a bit frustrating. The Sims 2 needs some fixes these days like the black square fix and the overly bright CAS fix. It's to do with the game being too old for modern hardware. There are fixes and mods and CC for everything. Custom skin tones are skins you have downloaded. You can download all the EP's and SP's for free these days no need to buy a base game disk. You need Nightlife EP for chemistry between sims and cars, base game doesn't have that much. It's also easier to socialize if you have all EP's.

She likely could have gotten whoo hoo that night, she was just playing by Sims 4 rules in Sims 2. I actually had a hard time adapting to Sims 4 ways when I started playing it.

Sims 4 sims roll the same damn wants over and over as well, there's no satisfying lore that is ACTUALLY proven by sims' relationships/bios/memories.

I actually love the 'difficulty' of sims 2. It was a *lot* harder to get rich, because the cost of living was higher, compared to what you could earn. And there was chores; you would have to weed the garden, trim the hedges, water your plants, make your bed, and you could actually die if you didn't do your dishes, lol. There was a lot more reason to get rich, and play legacy style, because when you could get a gardener and maid, you could actually do all the fun stuff, and spend time with friends. In the sims 4, you can get rich fairly quickly, and even the 'low end' stuff looks fairly nice, and works decently. Once you are rich, it doesn't change your life that much. And while I do like the 'quick romance' aspect for the baby challenge, I do sometimes miss that traits and social systems actually had more meaning. It makes the game much more interesting. :)

So if you get a few cooking skill points you can make meals that fill you entire hunger motive more quikly. You selected all the cheap furniture naturally but more expensive furniture will fill needs faster. Basially Sims 2 out of the box is the rags to riches challenges. Also there's a ton more to get into with different aspiration rewards to offset motives. etc... I'd definitely recommend revisiting, especially if you can add some of the expansion packs you barely scratched the surface with this play.

THIS IS THE CONTENT I NEEDED!!! I miss the sims 2. I started playing sims 2 right before sims 3 came out and then when the sims 3 first came out it was horrible so i went back to playing sims 2

This video made me so happy, I was literally jumping when I saw that you played TS2!

I remember when playing the sims 2 it was so much harder to keep my sims happy and to keep good relationships with other sims. And every tasks took longer too😂 but I still loved the game so much 😊

Omg this was so nostalgic for me. I've played since the sims 1 but love all of them. This made me wanna download the sims 2 back on my computer again😁

Not even in 2004 I played The Sims 2 at such a low resolution. I don't understand why Sims 4 players can't get the game to work properly. It's not that hard.

[@emilybottoms8712]

its so funny to me that in sims 2 the pleasant family is focused on the parents but when you get to sims 4 university it's all about the daughters Angela and Lilith.

Sims 2 was my childhood! I feel super old 😂😂 I still have the cds for the base game and night life 😅

I've been playing the Sims for 22 years now, so since the very first one came out. And I miss the Sims 1 & 2 so much, never played 3, but I okay 4 constantly. I miss 1 the most, fondest memories there.
