the best game to ever exist. im so happy i got it back in 2014 when EA gave it out for free. as a gen Z im so happy to have played the sims 2 (and i still do).
I remember playing this game as a young guy and thinking, "If this is what we have now, imagine how amazing games will be in 10-15 year!" It saddens me to see that things seem to be heading in the opposite direction instead.
I just watched the trailer for the new TS4 expansion (hatewatched) and there were so many brainless people saying how it had sold them. We're never getting a better game because there's so many consoomers who will buy anything ea craps out. A whole younger generation who doesn't have a memory of when things were better and the game was deeper (in contrast to TS4 which is fundamentally shallow which can't be fixed).
SIMS 4 killed my passion for sims but seing this brings it back ❤ yall sims 2 soundtrack s crazyyyy gameplay is HEEEERE and sims 3 open world ATE sims 4 bye
I played The Sims 1 at my friend's, so when The Sims 2 was released in 2004 I bought the CD version. I told my mom in the game to enter the wellness machine, but it didn't work and she died. She hated me forever for killing her sim
I'm happy that my sims 2 can open in my laptop with Nvidia Geforce Mx130 with only 1.80 ghz on my laptop. It keeps lagging but well, the game still plays, is important.
People compare this to the sims 3 all the time, which is its successor, but the fact that the sims 2, without its open worlds and colour wheel has the community split 50/50 just shows you how strong of an instalment this version is. All its unique expansion packs became iconic and main stays for the entire sims series. something that even the sims 3 didn’t manage to achieve. Even the sims 2 lore redefined the later instalments.
Not to mention, the personality and how wacky the Sims interactions between eachother were. There was so much thought put into all the animations and whatnot, the cutscenes were amazing and added so much charm and drama.
Computers after Windows 7 need some adjustments for the game to detect your graphics card (in a lot of cases). I had to update the Graphics.ini files. There are tutorials on how to do this, but I can also make one if that is helpful. There may be other issues you can fix I am forgetting.
Yeah, unfortunately EA does not want to cannibalize The Sims 4 market. But they're restoring some of the MySims series all the way back from the times of The Sims 2. Give it another 5-10 years and they may come around to selling The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection again!
This game started my addiction - the Sims 4 ended it 😢
Same I miss the sims 2
I still remember putting in the code ''I-LOVE-THE-SIMS'' into (at the time) Origin to get this all the way back in 2014.
It's my favorite sims game, even after 16 years of playing I still get excited about it
I keep thinking it gets better as time goes on!
And it still has a lot to offer...
The Sims 2 came out 20 years ago? Wow, I have to let that sink in.

WHAT? WHERE?? DO YOU HAVE LINK??

@@riqrimoli oh nooo so now i can't have it anymore 😭😭 btw thanks for answering my question 🙏
@@frankeufrank u can pirate it tho… i dont remember how but pretty sure its on yt
I still play this game to this day, I can't seem to like TS3 and TS4 no matter how hard I try, they look cartoony.

This is the best game ever. If they had open world installed, other Sims games would be dust
That and a little color customization. It's a really great game over time!

No two gameplays are the same, infinite fun with this game. Dreaming of a remastered version in the future 🙏
This brought back so many good memories. But Sims 1 is still my favorite.

Pets and apartments were my favorits

the main problem i have with the sims 3 is how laggy it gets…other than that it works both as a successor to sims 2 and a stand alone game.

how you can run the game, i need to know. i never play the sims 1 and 2. just getting on sims 3 and play sims 4 for 2-3 years now
Sims 2 is fun ngl
Your game is so smooth! How? Mine is a little laggy, and i have a very nice laptop

@@loganshane A tutorial video from you it would be so helpful.I think I've tried all the fixes, but one more won't hurt anyone...😅
Dee sid e rata is how you pronounce that name. I noticed you had trouble with the name.
Wish this was still free

Pirate the game with the Mr. DJ crack
i got the whole Pack after talking with customer support, i said i couldn't find a way to buy and they gave me a code to redeem it.
@@janeaparecidalourenco8531 oh that’s interesting I might try that
@@janeaparecidalourenco8531EA customer support? Thank you for sharing, I need to try this! It would be a dream to have the sims 2 back 😍
