The Strangest Sims Game You’ve Never Played

Subscribe and stay tuned for similar style content about strange games, and completely different style content about all sorts of games! I don't have a flat-out plan yet for this channel but I do have a few ideas for videos which may come soon, particularly about certain elements across certain types of games and also just alot of F-around fun stuff and maybe even some normal style episodic series cut from long streams. Like this comment or reply if you'd be interested in this kinda stuff.

Sims 2 PSP is completely different but similarly weird with zombies and conspiracies- you should check it out!

[@Frodo-Synthesis]

dude your edit and cometary had me feckn dying dude, keep it up man

[@MiryssaRayne]

This game was not only my favorite ds game as a kid but also the most terrifying game I’ve ever played- even to this day lol all of the Sims 2 spin-off games give me so much nostalgia though 😭❤️

[@Starrbean]

Severely underrated games! I checked your channel btw your fx makeup stuff is awesome!

[@sezfields]

I was legit trying to explain this game to someone and they looked at me like I was on meth. They were like 'no you like build houses and shit in Sims'. For a while I genuinely thought this game was just a weird childhood nightmare I remembered.

[@Jaakei]

nah frr😭All the sims games I played during my childhood are all the weird ones with stories (GBA Urbz, this game, Ps2 Castaway), so I legit couldn't fathom what does they mean normal sims don't have weird ass story and settings??

[@feyytime5571]

This game is like a creepy fever dream and I always loved it because of that

[@Starrbean]

A creepy fever dream is a really unique kind of feeling for a videogame to achieve. Especially while also not being a horror game at all, I’m always searching for this kind of mood in stuff

[@thomasflanagan8754]

I used to have nightmares of Mama Hogg in the basement. Her pixelated face up close really felt unsettling

Omg the exact same thing happened to me! I’m so glad they got them confused so I got to experience this game as well 😆

I used to be sooooo fascinated and scared as hell of this game but that blurry opening sequence made me look for my ds

[@chantellem6457]

This was the first sims game I ever played. Little me was expecting a cute life simulator and what I actually got was the music from this game seared into my skull. 10/10

[@queendiamond770]

The bit about the music is so true!! I've spent my whole life trying to understand why certain sounds in movies made me feel uneasy only to find out it was beacuse of this game's soundtrack

[@kimwasalreadytaken]

I had this game, and because I'm Danish I never understood English as a kid. Can you just briefly imagine, like actually try to put yourself in the scenario of playing through this game by PURE GUESSWORK because you didn't understand the language being spoken. It was crazy. I asked my dad for help so many times. Now I'm wondering what he was thinking

[@Starrbean]

Oh my lord I could not imagine how much confusion that would have added

[@TheAbigailDee]

I'm sure this game is why I love liminal spaces and RPGs as an adult. This game was a childhood obsession. I must have played through it fully like 10 times. All while making sure to turn off the volume when the aliens came around 😭

[@mybattyvalentine]

So happy to see a longer video that exclusively focuses on this game. I had this at a tender age and I'm so glad it's getting the modern day recognition that it deserves because WOW it was just...so. Weird. Like the other sims console games were weird, but this one and PSP were next level strange and I'm crushed that we don't get oddball games like this anymore. This was my Silent Hill at age 7. I absolutely adore the damn near hypnotic entrancing atmosphere of this game. Going back and forth to do tasks in the same desolate location while weirder and weirder things happen, the fucking. STUPID alien music that would scare the shit out of me (so happy it wasn't just me pissing myself over that). This game using real time for.....Reasons????? I guess that was new tech at the time this released and they wanted to use it?? I've been so desperate to find SOMETHING that made me feel the way this game did for years. Everything that comes close is a little too tongue-in-cheek / self aware or alternatively is trying way too hard to be scary. I like the balance here where things just kind of Happen and the game is indifferent towards them. Gives you the space to make your own judgement on whatever the hell it throws at you instead of trying to coerce you into feeling a certain way

[@Starrbean]

AY IT DOES GIVE SILENT HILL VIBE, legit Silent Strangetown. I agree though, I could not think of any other game that feels like this at all. The closest thing I could think of is that weird point and click game Harvester from 1992. But that is waaaay goofy too

[@ameliaj8943]

The one plotline with frankie fusilli (the mobster) where you had to bury a wiggling suitcase in the desert.. then you don't see the mayor after always gave me the chills omg

[@BeldamDoll]

i remember that and that he is being held hostage in the building next to the store or the old house in the field but the developer was like “no it’s a bug we didn’t patch lol”😭

[@ImJennyMarie]

This game and Mario were the only two DS games I had that I’d play ever when I was younger. I remember the first time I went back in time because I got impatient with the real time system, the alien invasion spawned and I was caught for time traveling . Being scolded by that sheet scared me so bad. 😅 I also didn’t realize you could cheat money into the game!

[@Starrbean]

For real, it makes you feel responsible for ending civilisation or something. I never actually saw the scene when I played it as a kid but I reckon I would’ve legit had a panic attack 😅

[@casassin]

I'm always immediately drawn to any The Sims 2 for DS videos, because that game gave me literal nightmares as a child, yet it's oh so dear to my heart. You can just really tell, that the developers went all bonkers with this title and tried to make it as strange and eerie as possible. I'm only a few minutes in and I can already tell, that I'm going to like your content. The editing and your delivery and quick jokes are so good. I couldn't belive it, when I saw, that your channel is still quite the unknown gem. I know that I'll subscribe and check out the other videos! I'm really excited to see, where this channel goes. But as a fellow Sims 2 for DS enjoyer, I can only imagine, you'll do some great things! Best of luck and thank you so much for covering this strange little game! :)

[@Starrbean]

Thanks so much mate! That’s very encouraging indeed hahaha

[@IzzieInATizzy]

I tried explaining this game to one of my besties yesterday, it was a core game of my childhood. I couldn't do it with a straight face. It's such a fever dream of a game.

[@CelestialAngelWings]

Got your video recommended and subscribed. About the store clerk being green, he's half alien and appears in other sims games, you can even sell him alien spaceship parts, and if I remember correctly, someone from the hotel hints that he's trying to get home or something. Loveddd this game as a kid, remember feeling uncomfortable as well, but totally mesmerized. Replayed it as an adult recently and it really is one of my favorite games, it's so unique. The soundtrack slaps too, lol. I hope you make more videos like this, made me laugh. :)

[@Starrbean]

Ohhh I had no idea there was actual Sims lore wot the freak, I assumed he had radiation poisoning from the reactor in the basement. Thanks for the sub I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@atkvin]

It's funny growing up with Sims 2 GBA and seeing all these familiar character mugshots and vague story bits kinda brought back and repackaged for the DS game. Mole guy, Xizzle, robot guy, I remember all of em, though not really what the episodes featuring them were about. The soundtrack just makes me feel nostalgic and vibe lol

[@diogofaria5965]

And many of the are also from another Sims GBA Game - Urbz. Probably same developer.

[@samurailevi49]

I love when they’d tell me I fought off the alien invasion when I’d go outside to find more aliens. What they don’t tell you is you have to go to every alien location and get rid of them until they all are gone.

The Sims 2 DS is super weird man. I grew up with it and it still has this weird sense of comforting familiarity but somehow it's still unsettling to me even now, despite knowing basically all it's ins and outs. I actually spent a considerable amount of time figuring out how this game works, and I actually even made most of the action reply codes for the game that are on the Sims 2 DS Wiki there. There's some codes to auto-skip room building waits and progress time sensitive events during the story in there btw, would've been easier than messing with the windows clock lol

[@Starrbean]

Yeaah I did find those after I'd used my windows clock one time lol. After Frankie I used em to instabuild and progress all the story stuff from then on. Thank you for your service hahaha you saved me a ton of time. We got a hero in the comment section right here boys ☝️

[@laurenh4648]

This game was mesmerising to me as a child and was for so long a memory that I thought I made up as it’s so different to the mainline Sims games that most people have played. I’m so glad to know that other people felt uneasy playing this game because my god I was SO scared whenever I stepped out of the hotel and heard the alien music playing, I would turn the volume off all together! I had this game so nailed that in the restraint games I would know how to calm down the character purely based on the random sinking that they spoke at that moment

[@Starrbean]

It seems everyone in these comments hated that alien music, It’s so funny it had the same effect on all of us when the game itself is so goofy

[@cisrot]

Oh my GOD i loved this game as a lil kid. I got it for christmas alongside “animal crossing wild world” and i was obsessed with it. It legit took me 10+ years to actually finish the game. I needed to look up a guide though because there was absolutely no way baby me would have figured it out This game holds a special place in my heart because of how.. weird it was. I’m glad that I’m not the only person aware of it lmao

Adding on another hilarious glitch about this game. After the fire mission in the mayor's office... the mayor just disappears permanently from the game. You can text him on your phone and ask him where he is, he will say city hall, but he's not there. You never see him again.

Remember that you could set your birthday in the DS settings? Many games did something special on that date. In this one, characters will call you on your in-game phone to wish you a happy birthday.

This is probably one of my favourite games of all time. I remember staying up late past my bed time with my DS playing this.

[@ToR4-]

I still own The Urbz- Sims in the City for Nintendo DS. It had many elements like these games in the video, like Moogoo Monkey. The game's supposed to be played so the monkey who has the most "health" (the card under them) wins. At the end of every round, monkey whose card number under them is the lowest, will be eliminated and players who have bets on that monkey, will lose the bets as well. Whoever has the most bets on that winning monkey at the end of the game will win. I played this game waaay too much as a kid to understand the rules :D

i think what makes the console spinoffs of the sims games so charming is that in the main games you have to make the chaos yourself for the most part (unless you mod them). the console games have the chaos built in. i miss them :/

I should dig this up and pop it in the 3DS. It was such an ambitious, expansive game for the hardware, definitely one of the most memorable the OG DS got. A lot of little activities to do, and it scratched that "numbers go up" itch gaining incremental upgrades and maximising profit like in animal crossing. The comments about it being creepy made me laugh, as a kid you bought into the superstition of the game, especially when it would send things to pursue you. Aside from the more in your face things it had a less obvious uncanny vibe in unexpected places.

Mannnnnn, I need to play this again… an absolute classic… still don’t think I ever finished it. I just remember getting to the pent house and there being the men in suits or something like that??
