a missed opportunity to call mama, “Prosti” “Tute” lmao, always look forward to these videos!

[@ryanplaysthesims]

I am so mad at myself! Maybe it’s a good thing tbf, I think KZbin would have been mad at me too💀

[@TheShpilyaOfigela]

Also “prosti” is standing for light version of “sorry” in Russian. Like you step on your friend’s toe a little and say “prosti”

[@josefaruizmoreno9571]

​@@ryanplaysthesims 1111a😊😊

[@aliveslice]

​@@TheShpilyaOfigela sorry for stepping on your toes, but "prosti" is as "hard" as sorry, the light version is "izvini"=excuse me. You would usually say sorry after you've done something and excuse me before, same with corresponding russian words. The stress doesn't match as well prósti-prostí.

[@aliveslice]

Good because it doesn't match the subject of the video. She's unemployed, so false advertisment.

[@emmagriffiths3470]

The adhd part, I related so hard 🥲🥲🥲🤣

[@ryanplaysthesims]

I have to cut out so many gaps where I just stare into the abyss 💀

[@dk-sky3820]

Thank you Ryan. Your videos help remind me each time what a great childhood I actually had…

[@Mr.Plant1994]

I was thinking the same thing. We were poor and we didn’t have shit, but my dad never tried to get me to support the family while he lounged around

[@irinayugiohfan]

Useless mum couldn't even make lunch without starting a fire. 😂 After a childhood like that, poor Desti will have to go to therapy for the rest of her life. 9:19 Ryan.exe has stopped working 🤣

[@ryanplaysthesims]

She’ll need therapy but the good news is I don’t have to deal with it myself. Thanks CPS!

[@joandsarah77]

You can study cooking on the TV, also if you bought a kids oven they can live off muffins.

[@totakluska]

Ah, yes, Strangetown, where bills are cheaper than lemonade ❤ Loved this one, I was sure you were going to make it and than I remembered how much food costs in ts2 😢

[@Hellbat_the_Destron]

I just discovered your channel and the titles are pure gold... It's exactly what I want to see as a Sims 2 fan and I think I'm gonna use the ideas for my game😂

[@MyFriend_Oliver]

This was great. It's a fun series; having to rely on the child Sim for everything

[@ryanplaysthesims]

It’s so fun (and stressful!)

[@CourtneysGrotto]

Bella Goth the icon, just coming along to eat then sleep then leave.. a Strangetown abducted treasure

[@EmmaT27]

3:40 mama is open for business 😂

[@Stardust_Wyvern]

My girl Lemon Maid Laura Limonada would be proud! It was quite a run indeed, and quite Desti Tute's destiny.

[@Tytar]

At first I thought you named her: Dusty Toot, which has a TOTALLY different meaning than what you did name her 😂😂😂 Another great challenge my man!! I seriously need to catch up with your content! Im behind!! And WOW! My boy Ry-Guy is about to OBLITERATE that 3K subs mark!! Well deserved m8!! Keep it up!

[@ryanplaysthesims]

The northern English accent means a lot of people have no idea what I’m saying 😂 thanks a lot man! I need to have a binge on your videos soon too!

[@lasagna1879]

You have the most hilarious video ideas!! Love to see them every time you post

[@ryanplaysthesims]

Haha thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@natatatt]

Fully laughed out loud at your video description. You always come up with fun scenarios.

[@irinairinaa211]

Mama literally looks like Joy Despret... 😮😮

[@justanotherfailure15]

"I was just trying to run a business" LOL love it. I love your channel! You've reminded me how fun Sims 2 is! :)

[@jesst7448]

Ah for a second I thought you were going to build the bedrooms in this vid then 😂😂

[@ryanplaysthesims]

I will never build again after the last stream 👀

[@christinapalafox]

Speaking of butterfly urine, there is actually such thing as butterfly pea tea.

[@omarakram99]

Lovee the challenge videos and the dark UI! Idk what you can do or where the problem is, but I have the notification bell on and stopped receiving notifications from your channel. I'm still pissed I missed the last 2 lives streams. I was the one who asked the most for sims 3 videos yet I missed both streams because I wasn't notified 🙃

[@ryanplaysthesims]

I’m not sure why it’s not notifying you Omar but we’ve missed you in the last lives! If you have discord you could join on there and I let people know when I’m live? The link is in this video’s description

[@tanyakenevich7591]

It’s time for the Ryan Stress-o-thon!!!!

[@EmmaT27]

We officially dont have a pot to piss in. Story of my life 😂😂

[@PensierieForme]

Your channel is getting more and more fun😂 i love it!! Keep it up❤️

[@VEGA8]

i swear u just unlocked memories of getting the pets jobs in sims 2... i think?

[@TheShpilyaOfigela]

I like your new editing style!

[@Jazmincrystal]

When you just spaced out for so long, I felt that 😂 the elevator music 😭😭

[@jasonmetcalfe4695]

should have used the water tool in build mode to add a pond then they can go fishing and cook what they catch, saves money

[@DiscoTimelordASD]

Have you tried the "Mooch Off Your Pets" challenge?

[@pablo-z-dragon]

laughed a lot, thank you hahahah i forgot what it's like to play without using money cheats🤣

[@natanpeixoto7460]

[@laurieb3703]

[@maymuntingibunanakoetc.7560]

[@SevenEllen]

You should have bought a bath instead of a shower so the parents could bathe the toddler.

[@sajathedecided9016]

Love it!

[@BooBearShow]

Thanks Ryan ❤

[@theresakidd]

How do you clear out money in the Sims 2? Is it the same as Sims 4?

[@Dstny25]

Not my first name also being Destiny lol

[@estebanfranciscogameromose5561]

Yo creo que sí ..😅😅

[@QuentrixMovies]

Their only source of income gone 😢

[@Anas_fazil]
