It's 2021 and I'm trying to build in The Sims 2

THIS IS SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT LOOKS

This video is family friendly, but The Sims 4 is rated T for Teen and this video is intended for an audience aged 13 and up.

I started playing sims 2 when I was like 5 and I have this distinct memory of throwing my sim a birthday party in the dark, wallpaperless box that she lived in and only being able to afford a single balloon which popped a couple hours in. No one came and my sims later died of starvation. Happy memories.

Sims 2 is fascinating. I kinda miss its greenhouses, ability to actually buy something in grocery stores, ability to _buy_ animals, those fancy private school dinners, and, gosh, WITCHES. Also I can remember some building videos: guys used landscaping to form a building off-grid. Magic.

I feel like sims 4 has all the building innovations but really took a step back as far as gameplay details though. Sims 2 is still the most detailed sims game ever as far as just some of the nuances of the sims. They just feel more human.

Hearing her say “eww” at the BEST REFRIGERATOR IN THE GAME personally offended me. That was an S tier fridge

Me sitting here having started with the Sims 1, and I remember when the Sims 2 came out my sister and me were huddled around the computer absolutely mindblown that you could place things diagonally.

I played the Sims 2 for almost 13 years and had no idea there were move objects cheats. I’m screaming.

“The olden days” 💀. I vividly remember making my mom take me to Walmart the day the Sims2 came out and then staying up all night playing because it was just too amazing to stop.
The progression from the original Sims to the Sims2 is still the best of the franchise. I don’t know how we ever fell in love with the Sims playing the original because it was stressful lol

I remember playing The Sims 2 on a crappy laptop with a ton of mods. I built this HUGE castle, and I mean HUGE, it also had a garden labyrinth, pools, beautiful garden, it was like 3 floors and also had towers, secret passages, all that stuff. But what I was really proud of were the Sleeping Beauty tower (just a beautiful vine-entangled tower with a chamber worthy of a princess) and the ballroom, obviously inspired by the Beauty and the Beast one, tall windows, a star-themed painting on the ceiling, all blues and golds and marble.
Then my game crashed and when I opened it again the castle was no more. Because I didn't check the storage space on the laptop and if I had had, I'd have seen that there was not enough space to save the file. I still feel sad about it.

The Sims 2 auto roofs are probably the feature I miss the most in Sims 4

You should try and build the same building in the sims 1 then 2 then 3 and so on. I think it would be interesting to see all of the differences

Can we talk about how quickly her game loaded? I used to wait for what felt like 20 minutes just to load my house 😂

Landscaping in the Sims 2 used to stress me out so much because you actually had to maintain the plants. RIP to all of the flowers I killed :(

Would honesty love a sims 2 let's play of kayla discovering the game

[yinyin]

I wanna know how many pictures Kayla has of herself staring at the screen in confusion for her thumbnails

[treepyful]

i started playing with sims 1! i remember playing sims 2 for the first time and being astonished with having so many options and so much freedom, both in building and in play. sims 2 still has a precious place in my heart, and watching this was a hilarious walk down memory lane

I wish Sims4 would release an expansion pack that would include some decent stuff from Sims2.
Call it something like „2000‘s nostalgia“ where you have stuff like wall phones and newspapers. And playable elements like bringing your Kids to school or get them into privat school… Thinge like that.
This would be awsome.

I grew up playing sims 1 & 2, watching her struggle is quite funny. Wish we had sims 2 gameplay with sims 4 build mode

[RebekahSage]

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate Kayla's charity work with St. Jude? She outdoes herself every year and it's so inspiring

“Your Sims are miserable all the time; money is hard to come by…” lol I forgot how realistic Sims 2 was

[leannahavreluck]

No, I miss auto-roofing so much! I find making funky shaped houses in the Sims 4 soooo difficult. And placing your own lots!! What I wouldn't give to place lots in Sims 4 (also proper plant sims).
