Console Sims 2 was foundational to who I am lol it was so fun! I loved your Bustin' Out, MySims, and Urbz videos as well. You're making me crave that good old classic "binge Sims every day for 12-16 hours for 3 weeks straight and then don't touch it again for 7 months" vibe

[@Jooles791]

That "gaming the entire winter/spring/ summer break" vibe from childhood just hits 😢❤

[@Samwak18]

Made you little baddie 😏

[@zombiewarrior225]

This was my first ever sims game and I absolutely loved this game, so much. I played this game so much as a kid. One of my favorite games

[@crystalgalaxy8940]

Same man

[@syahiraarissta1876]

OMG!!! My 8 years old inner self is crying. Really missed this Sims 2!!! I still remember the fire capacity for a house if its too full. Still being paranoid now even playing TS4, though its not applicable. What a memory… 💕

[@Marcieajk]

The Sims 2 on DS and PSP hold a specific niche in my heart. Just so weird, yet so pivotal to my personality rn. I'm excited to see you go through the DS version!!

[@jessieterces8575]

I loved the sims on the psp! It was so creepy but I loved it, I never got to finish it because it would always crash at a certain point so I’m super excited to see if she’s gonna play it

[@danikabrison]

That cinematic opening cutscene lives rent free in my head. I can still hear the music too...oh man. I was in loooove with this one! I never made it past the boat and ever really made it TO the boat. It was so good. I remember getting Sims 2 Pets and omg...I played that every night for weeks on end and me and my friend would play it too whenever I'd go over to her place or vice versa.

[@summmerly]

One thing I hated about the food was even if you did use the ingredients it didn’t always completely fill your stomach so you have to constantly feed them with high-quality ingredients. Also being able to “flip the bird” was so funny to me as a kid😂

[@RoyG.BivDevoe]

I didn't like that either, I mean I could understand with soup or small dishes like hors d'oeuvres. But when I used 3 ingredients for stir fry it would only fill me up to half but if I used more meat or veggies it would fill me up close to full. The only recipes I can recall that filled my Sim up to full in one sitting was meat sandwich, sloppy joes, and meat burrito.

[@vanyadolly]

You probably need higher cooking skill to make more fulfilling meals. That used to be the case in all sims games vefore ts3

[@Zdeath]

One of the biggest things I remember from this game was hear paramores song pressure over and over again (which made me fall in love with paramore) and literally the second u started playing I can hear pressure playing in the background 🤣🤣

[@tofugoob]

I love how the fashion in sims 2 is cool again - like come on y2k!!!

[@AHulst]

I love the storyline in this game. Imagine someone saying "I can't move out until I beat my roomate in one game of fooseball"

[@ItsMeVee33]

You caught on fire as Billy bc it was his own grave you danced on. I forgot if you do that the game just goes “so you wanna be dead again huh?”

[@canariawing]

this game was formative media for me and was my introduction to the sims series 😭every few years i go back and replay the story mode i love it so much

[@somecynic808]

My sister and I loved Co-oping this game as children! We were at a loss for what “woohooing” meant and decided to see for ourselves, only for our dad to walk in right as our sims were doing it XD We were grounded from gaming for a month and my dad hid our copy of the game on the top shelf of his closet.

[@RoyG.BivDevoe]

I loved the cooking on the Sims 2 console, at least you didn't make the typical PC version of limited food. You can make stir fry, sloppy joes, gazpacho, you can even make bread and many assortment of sweets on the console version. The foods also had bonus effects both positive and negative, the only thing I didn't like about the food is that it only had a few food models, I appreciated the food models for soup, cause that was new but as for sandwiches or main dishes such as stir fry and shabu shabu there is no distinguishing models for foods like that, they just look the same.

[@jorthebjoestar6074]

Love this game growing up. Me and my sister finally came back to this and completed the story mode! Whenever I think of the early 2000s aesthetic, I always think of this game

[@dametriasgreen3749]

I love how autonomous the sims are in The Sims 2 console. I’ll never forget playing it on the PS2, taking a nap and then waking up to my sim literally banging out two job promotions.

[@deetyes6911]

Let’s just get into that all the clothes were FREE‼️ that was the best😭🤣🤣🙌🏾

[@missgirlface]

Thank you for covering this game!! Brings back so many great memories! My brother and I were so obsessed. We spent one whole summer chilling on the rug in my room just messing around in this game. I remember it being my first opportunity to customize the lots and it blew my mind. Again thank you! You're awesome :)

[@JNLRespawn]

can't wait to see u play the handheld version of The Sims 2! it had such an eerie, uncanny but also cozy feeling to it.

[@OpheliaFantasy]

"And now we're done with Hector's whorish antics." "And that just leaves me! What do I want? I wanna change my outfit. Buy a blender."

[@yugen9754]

Honestly you must try Sims 2 PSP it used to terrify me as a child! It was pretty dark but it’s amazing storywise!✨

[@RoyG.BivDevoe]

I love the PSP version of the Sims 2, it's so hard to find a copy of it online anywhere, when I search for it I get the Sims 2 Castaway instead. I loved the story driven quests and mini games, the dark stories is what had me hooked from the start. I wish the Sims on PC had taken that kind of approach with Story Mode the same as the PSP version.

[@NerevarineKing]

The Sims 2 on PC was my first exposure to the series as well. The base game was very substantial and I had a ton of fun without expansions for a long time. I also had The Sims 2 Castaways on DS and remember enjoying it as well.

[@lanidotexe]

Dropped EVERYTHING to watch this when I saw it in my feed!!!! This game was my childhood, along with sims 2 pets and sims 2 castaway 😍 so much fun watching you play all of these games!!!!!!!!

[@OnThePath777]

This was my favorite game ever, so many memories the nostalgia is too much😢

[@GoAMPify]

My first Sims was the Sims 1 on windows 98 but the Sims 2 along with pets and castaway was my childhood honestly love your channel BTW keep it up

[@ammeallen7635]

Sims 2 on the ps2 was my first Sims game and it's so nostalgic to me now

[@HeyDanisaurus]

I discovered the sims from the sims 2 on console.. I also discovered Paramore cause of the sims 2 on console. My sims really enjoyed listening to Pressure

[@bunnyellabell]

this was my first sims game!! 💚

[@taylor8684]

This was my first sims experience! It makes me miss my GameCube so much😭😭

[@Astronic]

Love these videos. Perfect after a stressfull day at work with dinner.

[@edliterallystore7768]

i am literally bawwwwling with these videos omg you're reminding me so much of all of these games i played when i was a kid!!!! so nostalgic, such great content from u liss

[@spaceyjacey_]

Omg ❤️💗 this is one of my favorites! I never could get to the end when I was a kid. I loved seeing you finish and the end scene. I also love the way you play and talk. Glad I found you!

[@pasi6275]

I'd love to see you cover the sims 2 psp game! Had a real interesting story mode with strangetown as the focus. Maybe it's the nostalgia from playing this as a kid, but the eerie vibe and interesting locations are something I've been missing from every sims game after that

[@handsofviolet5269]

I love that you are also on a play the console versions of Sims kick as well. So much nostalgia. Also the grave was probably Torin, I found if he died, since he is needed for goals, he automatically just re-alives but leaves the gravestone. I love that you also employed the make friends one day, and then work one day. I agree about how annoying making and keeping friends is in this game. I will say in bustin out the career you chose (moviestar) has the most friends needed (12) some only require 6 friends for the top career. Whenever I played Sims 2 console as a kid I always maxed the skills at the first two lots since keeping friends was so hard later on.

[@darkhawk5]

Great vid, brings back so many memories! I can't wait for you to cover the madness of the handheld versions!

[@sarai6569]

omg thanks for the bokksu deal bc i've always wanted to try them but never wanted to pay the full price 😭 got one box i cant wait for it to arrive

[@cinereo_argento]

This game taught me the word "Aspiration" and "Felicity". Also I never completed the gane because I didnt understand what the platinum want "Woohoo a Sim in Bed" meant. Oh and one of the chair item in the shop is "Eggalitarian".

[@metadoe8168]

"Sul Sul, welcome to Shoreline Trails! Glad you could visit, friend." "Yeah, sure, whatever, which room's mine?" "Wait, what?"

[@tootnpoot]

Love it when girlies are sim-ing and thriving 🧡 another great video!!

[@erintheairduck]

These sims videos are giving me life

[@same4585]

sims 2 console and the sims urbz on DS are 2 of the most nostalgic things for me

[@jessund]

I am so excited to see you play sims 2 on DS! It's literally the strangest thing ever. cannot wait to relive it again. Great video, I look forward to these so much!!

[@TheHobbyReaper]

The Nu Metal station on the radio introduced me to Trivium. I remember me and my cousin (who doesn't like Metal) arguing over which station to listen to. Good times. 😂

[@taylr07]

The western set was one of my favorite places to try to make into a little “town” of my own lol but it was a super pain in the butt when you first start out there. Watching you play makes me want to boot up my old game and play again too! I love how you dressed up XY Alien that was so cute! Great video :)

[@KatPadmore]

this series is the best nostalgia i adore it

[@ambercandy1616]

not gonna lie THIS MY FAVE CONSOLE SIMS IM EXCITEDDD!

[@ashleygreen9312]

I'm biased but the GBA ports were always the best. I dug out my copies of Bustin out, Urbz and the Sims 2 and they're still so entertaining!!

[@sleepycowboy18]

The cooking is honestly my fav out of all sims, but i liked the bustin out gameplay more. Thank you this gives me massive nostalgia

[@SkittileSkelanimal47]

OOOOOO I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! This was my first sims game ever for PS2 and it holds a special place in my heart

[@ellieheyerdahl8366]

I have such vivid memories of vacuuming on the sims 2 for DS, I can’t wait to see you play it!

[@soffox3489]

Loved this vid!

[@onnivinpelzel6368]

Fun video! Really glad you got a Bokksu sponsorship, they do great stuff. I am STOKED for Sims on DS. Favorite system of all time!

[@quantafreeze]

These videos are so nostalgic. I love it ❤

[@Kayla-ck6sy]

this just brought back so many memories. i loved this game so much and it was two player on ps2 so me and my sister would play together. ALSO the music was good, lol i loved hearing Paramore Pressure on the radio and Reggie and the Full Effect.

[@chibha96]

Your walkthrough explanation helped me appreciate the game's rich experience. The human simulation is mind-blowing and we see the era of new media. I've managed to obtain a copy on PC and play this game not only for entertainment but also as an intended research/study topic for my master's in interaction design. The last time I played this game, I was in school and couldn't understand the game experience and explored only NFS & GTA game series.

[@mirshebs]

this was a nostalgia trip thanks for a great video!

[@shiggles6638]

I was just talking about this today, wild! I'm so happy to stumble onto this!

[@manyyoumas]

YAY!!! HI!!! love your vids so much girlie thanks for playing tribute to my childhood

[@asianapollo002]

My mom had sims 2 on pc w the discs and everything she gave me it and told me the basics of installing it it took me like 5 hours to figure it out but i will never forget booting up the game and playing as the curious family in strangetown i love sims 2

[@Aaron-eb7fe]

the checkers stare off is so nostalgic

[@julian.6251]

loved this video! can't wait for the one on sims 2 ds- that rat suit 😏

[@eggiboiroi]

my first sims game was sims 2 ds and it was the blueprint for so much for me 🤣 can’t wait to see you play it!!

[@PWNED1NINJA1]

yeeesss thank you for doing these!!

[@misha5992]

I still have my old ps2 with this exact same game and it's honestly so comforting to just press play after a hard day

[@darlingchan]

I loved this version of sims 2!! The cas was SO good I loved the layering! ❤️

[@grlyeetswrld]

This exact game was what made me BEG for ts2❤ such fond memories with this one. I still play on pc but this one is the og in my eyes

[@Lemmyxoxo]

Just discovered your channel. So nostalgic. Bringing me back memories of older sims console games where it all started for me! BTW your yt pic is so hot 😍😍😍😍😍

[@parrot998]

There are actually 3 different and completely distinct handheld versions for GBA, DS, and PSP

[@GeargianoXG]

What I really loved about this game was the coop! Besides story mode, that's what set this game apart from the PC version. Also, I don't think I ever got past the ship in story mode. I just couldn't get the romance stuff to work^^

[@nicodoe6181]

calling noel "noël" was sending me every time 😭😭😭 u rly got in the christmas mood early

[@lifeofsophiamari]

I loved this game sooo much I didn’t have much friends from the first 2 years of moving to a new country because of my parents when I was like 8 and this was my comfort big time 😂❤

[@RafaTennisFan14]

Yes! This is so nostalgic. The first sims game I ever played ✨ so good

[@realofficialauthenticymrasgt]

I like your style liss ❤ I just subscribed

[@TheMya1988]

I really enjoyed watching, as I only got to play this briefly (college and uni disrupted my fun). I do love playing through the story modes, and wish that the mainline PC games had them too (instead of having to buy spinoffs). As for my favorite, outside the Sims 2 for PC, has to be the DS version. I am really looking forward to that video...might have to break out the game and play it again after watching❣

[@ToxicMasky]

handheld sims 2 is so underrated and honestly i was convinced that i made that shit up until i was reminded of it a few months ago, so excited to see u play that

[@RRSIMMER]

I LOVED this game and that house so much

[@Shaunie98]

Yes!! My first sims game!

[@Abysslover91]

This was my first sims game on ps2 back in the day was so fun

[@helloitsme6912]

I've spent so much time playing this game with my sister. Even though the game lacks some of The Sims mechanics, we had lots of fun. 😊

[@zelphine]

woke up from a nap to see a new liss upload, i stay winning

[@1LeggedBandit]

Sime 2 and sims 2 busting out r FIRE!!! i at least had 100 hr in story and play for fun with cheats codes

[@GinaGodfrey]

I spent so much of my childood playing this and Bustin Out!

[@Trikovakru]

I looooved the Sims 2 console games and played it often with my Mum. Sims 2 castaway for the consol ist still my favourite Sims Game ever!

[@sighbatsu]

This may have made me reinstall sims 2 for PC and purchase physical copies of the game just now...thanks Liss!

[@NurseChrissy17]

I love these videos!

[@nts_tv]

i was 6 when i played this so seeing you get pass the second location was thrilling for me 😂

[@dezic_]

I love these sims videos 😊

[@canvascutter7818]

I played this game religiously. To the point where I kept track of the cheats and everything. and one day I used those cheats to make a specific household rich in Freeplay. And I had a sim named Diego. He had tan skin with black sunglasses, blond hair and i remember him SPECIFICALLY having a yellow topshirt with a red undershirt. And this sim was corrupted for no reason. By corrupted, I mean *any* time I moved out the family he was in, and put in a new one, HE'D ALWAYS COME BACK. If a sim went to work, they'd have a chance to come back as him!! Their name would be the same but they'd have his entire appearance and traits! I tried deleting his original family but that seemed to make it worse. Worse, as in, now OTHER sims were becoming the other family members. I just didn't touch the corrupted lot after that. The lot in question was 8 Rockpile RD.

[@sleepyadele]

sims 2 on ds was everything to me as a kid. so much weird fun

[@alllexglad]

I need Sims 2 on PC videos now!

[@demonsge2]

sims 2 for console was the first sims i ever played i loved it and really wish it was possible to play it on ps5 still love the game

[@MadRayne]

I absolutely adore this game! Played it a lot growing up so I'm biased. But, you're not the only one that I've heard say that it's not quite comparable to the others and I definitely get that. From my understanding, this game was the Urbz 2 before it was canceled and reworked into this game. I think that creates a timeline issue and gave us a bit of a lacking outcome. Thank you for covering it regardless! I love to see these sims games receiving some attention

[@ililili6350]

This video is indeed sponsored by Bokksu but it is also going into my playlist of comfort Sims videos that I can put on while I make dinner and try not to burn my house down (I have already failed twice) 🥰

[@crystalgalaxy8940]

Man this is so nice, i remember ppaying this on the PlayStation as a kidm it's also two player so i forced my siblings to play with me😂🥰🥰

[@lymfley]

it is a happy day if it is a liss upload day ❤

[@byeekels]

I had the same experience my friend had sims 2 and I asked my grandma for it i was obsessed.

[@ee-co4264]

The sims 2 was so creative with the objects

[@Bluewolf131313]

I remember playing thus qs a kid on the GameCube and having a blast, the friendship requirements always seemed to get in the way and I would get stuck in the wild west neighborhood lol.

[@jimjimjimmy7793]

ALL IM GONNNA SCREAM IS THE COOKING SYSTEM IS FIRE!!! No pun intended. Also this was the first sims game I brought with my own money.

[@thelucifershimmy]

Omg I cannot WAIT for you to play the handheld sims 2 it is so unhinged and makes no goddamn sense and it’s one of my favorite games I played as a kid

[@myralyra2404]

Dang i wish all this was in the sims 2 pets this seems like so much fun
