The Sims 2: 50 Easter Eggs and Secrets!

[@onlyabidoang]

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!

[@gabrys647]

[@creepesthesia]

baba yaga can also be a reference to ELP song, but only if youre a man of culture xD here its more like folklore hero reference, yea.

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!

[@1235Timbo]

O MY GOD, I just realized that, thx

[@BlessedLifeOriginal]

I always figured it was a reference to Harvey.

[@ZeeboidThrok]

Girl (pink) bunny and boy (blue) bunny can also have romantic interactions if two sims social meters drop at the same time.

[@ennoidyam]

No it's a reference to Harvey. Much older movie than Darko and staring a much better actor, Jimmy Stewart

[@bestever2682]

Also the movie Harvey with Jimmy Stewart

[@kateschmid2889]

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.

[@Tasoq]

That's brilliant

[@imfamoushero]

Kate Schmid omg I knew there had to be another reason why Grim had bad taste

[@sevreezy]

Yea thats a pink floyd reference from their famous cover album "animals"

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

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.

[@siregne4343]

i was thinking to add the fact about Styx too x) greek mythology gang 💪🏾

[@m_axj]

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

I wouldn’t say moodlets are personality traits haha. They basically traded any sort of personalisation for pretty Sims and the stupid moodlets.

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!

[@ninaj6051]

@@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

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.

[@LeoUchiha812]

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.

[@alexarose6946]

One day I had two Sims with low social needs, so Two social bunnies came and I didn't notice they were kissing each other 🤭

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!

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.

[@ln4310]

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!

[@iHadSomethingForThis]

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

[@itsmariaa18]

this was posted just as I was playing Sims2! best game!

[@MonstersxKiller]

I wish I could still play it :( my new laptop is not compatible with the game

[@willwrightcreatorofsims9813]

I legitimately feel bad for the people who can’t play this masterpiece.

[@nicholaswildethethird]

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

[@astralaris8712]

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

[@aneex5193]

I prefer the sims 3 the most

[@Human-hs8sp]

I still frequently play Sims 2 never played any other

[@milenaavila1603]

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.

I have played the sims 2 since it came out, and I didn't know some of these! Incredible! Thanks for the great video!

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

[@katarzyna4449]

Well depends, in Polish it's Baba YAga

[@gabrys647]

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*!!!!!!!!!!

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"!

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!!

[@McGuire40695]

This video popped up in my feed, and I decided to check it out. At 0:05 in, I noticed the Ranch Retreat in the upper left hand side of Belladonna Cove. With all of those rocks around it, I believe I commented on your Reddit post about the "nosy neighbors." What are the odds of that? lol

[@onlyabidoang]

Haha yep 😁

[@gamerguy425]

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!

[@isaiasagustini7525]

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.

[@weronikametel1683]

The Sims 2 with The Sims 4 emotion system would be THE BEST SIMS GAME EVER

[@jaqueholst4235]

Oh Yaa!

A list of easter eggs where most of them are actually new to me. I loved the Baba Yaga house

[@anjananair842]

If you make your Sim "Look Through" a telescope during the day there's a chance that they'll see something that embarrasses them. A thought bubble will appear above their heads with the face of the person they accidentally spied on. That person will then show up randomly a bit later and start yelling at your Sim.

[@patz456]

dude I love your Rick and Morty lowkey reference there *liked and subscribed

[@heatherb8396]

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!
