The Sims 2 2004

[@luciazamora7871]

POV: You are 8 years old. You bought The Sims 2, so you're installing the game on a Saturday afternoon. Everything seems calm.

[@ZnifferN]

True

[@youdonegoofed]

"you" bought The Sims 2... riiiight lmao

[@Dakarus]

Literally impossible for an 8 year old in 2004 to buy this game for himself

[@WhatzHappeningNow9]

I love the attention to detail with the icons on the desktop

[@ZnifferN]

Thank you, DoomNationalist

The internet we once knew is slowly fading away! :(

[@bubz4196]

its gone bro

[@Kasuar-s6v]

this style of internet died in like 2012

[@ReginaTrans_]

Omg it did feel like this!!!! You brought the memories back, so chill, I was a depressive sad teenager back in 2004, but the sims 2 took me to that happy place and you really revived it!!!! Even the installing screens or going to the sims website made me so happy, im no longer depressive but watching this feels so good, the sims 2 was my friend, Nina, my sim self, our daughter and son, Orlando centowski, so many good memories, if the definition of depression for a 2000s teen was the hoax of happiness playing the sims 2, then I guess I lived that and I’m thankful, so many years I was guilty for having “wasted” my youth on a computer but now I feel proud and thankful of being a teen in the 2000s and the sims 2, now i occasionally play sims 4 and it’s just as good but that feeling the sims 2 gave you was the best thing, it gave me hope, rush home after middle school to play this game, it gave me hope, and a sensation that’s hardly equated

[@ibrahimafacan]

I was wondering if you were going to include the The Sims 2 in the nostalgia series. I was happy to see the content. I am this happy after a long time. I saw the game for the first time on my girl cousins' computers. They got married and now have children but this game still moves me. It was great to see people we knew inside the computer. Being able to do things that we cannot do in real life. My girlfriend was a fan of this when I started college. I miss her. I miss the rainy afternoons of my childhood. I have never seen the sun as red as it was when I was a child. I still listen to Simlish songs and I'm still an emotional person.

[@johnthememer1]

are you saying your ex girlfriend married her own cousin or did I read that wrong

[@KingBookWorm]

​@@johnthememer1no no, they meant that their girl cousin had sims who got married and had children

[@ReginaTrans_]

@@johnthememer1lmao I read the same

[@EffyKai]

What happened with your girlfriend?

[@nonamesorry7135]

😭😭😭 I miss the minigames that launched while the game was installing, I wish I could somehow make it work again

[@omgwtfbbgfriegaash]

this nostalgia hurts somehow, so so bitter and ever so slightly sweet :,I

[@ZnifferN]

[@sibsibx]

this makes me want to live in a Windows XP simulation

[@eliprenten7066]

Played this all summer as a kid when mom bought me a laptop. Right now I realize it was my way to cope with loneliness because my parents were always busy and my sister had a depression. It was my first venture of learning to entertain myself... and boy was I entertained lol

[@katlyndobransky2419]

Never played sims 2 but I played 3 religiously as a kid and I still do! That desktop is stunning!

[@Extazyxd]

Never stop this chanel! Its a hidden gold gem in KZbin

[@verityadams8751]

this is the most nostalgic one for me :3 i also just started playing the sims 2 ultimate collection again so i love this video :D do the sims next, that’s where it all began for me. i remember installing the sims for the first time on a gateway computer with windows 98, and my email being an aol address (still is!) what i would give to go back to when the internet was a phenomenon!

[@ZnifferN]

Cool

[@ShaiAllureEntertainmenttt]

omg the nostalgia! seeing The Sims 2 website made me shed a tear… time is flying.

[@ZnifferN]

Yeah :/

[@fraktal852]

Please make one on The Sims 1 and it's ancient modding scene. I have such fond memories of downloading a bunch of cars and pets at 30kbs and figuring out how to use winrar. I love your content, keep it coming!

[@ZnifferN]

Will think about it 👌 Thank you so much, Fraktal

[@angelicoctahedron3646]

DJ booth item with Rave mix track was added in Nightlife DLC, which was released only in 2005 hehe:)

[@johnthememer1]

Thank you for making this video. I have such fond memories of playing this game while I was in my room, in a calm sunny day of summer. I'm so glad I could experience those beautiful moments back then, this video made me remember those days of downloading a cracked version of The Sims 2 on torrent while leaving the computer on all night and then installing the pirated game with a sense of joy, like if you just fooled an entired company and getting the game for free. Surprisingly, I first tried this game because my school bully lent it to me. Sounds weird, but it's true. I considered him my friend, because he was my neighbour and we were bored and just wanted to play. But I was so young and Innocent I did not understand he was bullying me, he had family problems. I think his dad beated his mom. Good thing is, there was still a kid in that young guy, and besides all the emotional pain he could have cause me, he also introduced me to this game, which I appreciate.

[@potts995]

Still pretty impressive the level of effort that went into designing the screens, neighborhoods, and especially the lore! I love how the preset families also have extra screenshots in “Story Mode” to provide backstory.

[@ZnifferN]

I know. I feel that everything inside tech was more in to design etc in the old days

[@ksay47]

Yes, I played the hell out of The Sims 2 when it came out and I'm not ashamed to admit it😎i even bonded with my female classmate because of this game

[@ZnifferN]

Haha thats cool!

[@KryzysX]

These are truly heart-touching... they make the very core of your being tremble as you gaze upon them.

[@cougar-town]

Sim nostalgia right here. I like this game alot. Even though Sims 3 was typically the best version, the story modes of Sims 1 and 2 were great on PS2. For PC these games has always been fun things to do besides all the other games out there. It's a niche game about simulating a real person inside of a home, it's quite hilarious but at the same time it does bring alot of joy when the fire department comes or when the thief appears to steal your stuff. That's kind of the best parts about this game.

[@ZnifferN]

Those kind of games are actually pretty good^^

[@KeksimusMaximus]

Sims 2 was for you when you were younger. Sims 3 was for your girlfriend when you were older. Well, at least that's how it was for me, lol. When Sims 3 came out, I wasn't interested in playing dolls anymore, even though I could appreciate how the game had improved

[@starmud2]

A time capsule... mIRC brought back memories. I loved how the sims 2 website had profiles with icons showing what packs you owned/registered like badges.

[@ZnifferN]

Thanks

[@TBAG]

holy shit... the nostalgia

[@Kolby3884]

Stayed home from school the day my pre-order copy came in the mail. This game was my entire world at 12 years of age.

[@Jonito_xcx]

Omg the old triggers of waiting for things to load I remember taking deep breath as a coping mechanism lmao

[@ZnifferN]

[@TheNightShirt]

Damn i had completely forgotten that iconic sim2 main menu music. I had way too much fun getting the sims to swim in a pool just to delete the ladder and wait for the reaper to appear. 💀

[@ZnifferN]

Yeah man, lets hope so

I also have the sims 2 and it’s really fun to play. For me it does not crash because my CyberPowerPC gaming computer can process the sims 2. I use a dell disk drive because my gaming computer doesn’t have dvd rom.

[@ZnifferN]

Cool! Idk why mine keep crashing, but it is a crack afterall

[@Meemil]
