I might actually cry! My grandma and I used to play this together. We would sit side by side with our own laptop and play. I would sleep at her apartment and we would have fun. But now she’s getting tired fast and can’t have people sleep at her apartment.. really sad cause I miss those days... ❤️😭❤️❤️
The sims 2 was definitely the best of the series. Things actually happened to your sims and there was an underlying dark sense of humor. Now sims have way too cushy of lives.
I really wish there was a mod to disable the moodlets because it's creepy to have my sim be happy all the time and the smiles are like miniature jokers lol
@@gachafoxcreator4483 That's in every sims game, but what about simple robbers? We don't even have that, anymore, which is incredibly weird since it's always been in the game before. It's weird that I can sit an expensive computer outside my house, if I want, and there's no danger of it going anywhere. Fires... I've literally had one fire happen to me in the game, where before I actually got use out of my fire alarm in old games; I don't even put fire alarms in my houses, anymore, lol. Your sims are never sad, or angry, or any negative emotion for very long, despite the moodlet thing; I can easily call the sadness hotline and let them watch some comedy and sadness is gone within a few sim hours. I just figured moods would be a lot harder to change or have more impact, seeing as they were the focus of this part of the series.
In my opinion, Sims 2 has always been the best series. I see the original Sims as a great 'started' - the idea kicked off, you can spend hours trying to live up to the sim-world expectations (even when 20+ friends requirement for promotion was in use), some basic building and designing options were available, too. Sims 3 on the other hand has the graphics, the open world, the simultaneous progression of everyone in the same neighbourhood, the social aspect of the game (like a limited multiplayer nearly), easier content exchange and plenty of interactions. However. The sims 2. This game may now seem to have mediocre graphics (but back then, I remember staring in awe at my Sim making breakfast, such a difference from always-same-meal in Sims 1) and less options/exploration but it had 'something'. The witty reactions of Sims to certain situation, the inside jokes, the iconic elements (the llama, the cow-plant, the alien impregnating men, etc.), the genius jokes hidden in the object descriptions and the cutscenes. This game wasn't aimed at producing as many micro-transactions as possible, getting as much cash as possible, etc. I mean, sure, money was the reason they have even developed it, but it never seemed to be the main goal of it. Maxis really pulled off a great combination of skills, design and dedication on developing a fantastic game that I still now, in 2013, come back to when I can't stand the unbearably long loading time for sims 3 or quite repetetive daily routines in Sims 1. The Sims 2 will always be my favourite series (I challenge you, Sims 4, show me what you've got!). Cheers, everyone!
I agree 100% with you. Sims 2 has something special, a magic that was absent in Sims 3. I think what makes Sims 2 a better game, even though I love Sims 3, is the attention to details. In Sims 2 there was so much gameplay and so many little details here and there that it just compelled you to keep playing to discover new features and secrets. The graphics were also great by that time (2004) and it introduced the most changes compared to its precuel. The expansions were better too, with tons of hours of gameplay and better themes (except for FreeTime which was kinda boring). I don't know, I just feel that Sims 2 set the bar way too high and Sims 3, despite being a great game, couldn't quite reach. I think that EA's model of micro-transactions really affected the game, because they took away content meant to be part of expansions to sell it later. And also that content is not as developed as one would expect. The bistro and savy seller PC are both limited and restricted, and they could have been way better if they had been part of an expansion. I hope Sims 4 manages to deliver a well-rounded and complete experience for the players and thus finally surpass the bar set by that great game called Sims 2.
NausAllien it was the last game made by the one who started the whole sims thing , with simcity ,yep , he was from the begging of maxis ,i forgot his name though , sims 2 was the last game at the company before retiring , but man , he was brilliant . look at sims 2 :))
You can have turn offs and turn ons with the slice of life mod on the sims 4, virus free, easy use, and fun, all the perks! Add other stuff like periods and dehydration, and stuff like that!
To those who's just watching this episode now and have no idea what the heck is with the black rectangles, it's Shadow issue. Try turning the shadow down to medium or, even better, turn it off. Hope this helps because it sure does to most people having this issue. :)
The Sims 2 somehow doesn't seem dated for me. I've played it for 10 years and I think it's much better than crappy and boring Sims 3. I never get why people think if something is old it has to be worse. No, it's not. You like your grandparents, right? And they're old too :) I have families in Sims 2 that I made a few years ago and still play them :D Sims 2 is love, Sims 2 is life :D
+Domee894 Exactly! I remember when I got my cousin into the sims franchise, he even stated himself that the sims 2 was his favorite, and that made me really happy.
I absolutely love that his energy and way of recording hasnt changed much because I can come back and watch these old series and not just utterly cringe.
Hey, everyone! You can still get this game! Contact origin chat support and be EXTREMELY NICE TO THEM! Ask about the availability on sims 2 and they'll ask for you to provide proof of purchase. I just downloaded a picture of the sims 2 disc off of an eBay listing and uploaded it to them, that was good enough for the agent I had and they gave me the full ULTIMATE EDITION FOR FREE!! I had to go through two other unhelpful agents before I got one that would actually help me- but they will do it! If anyone has any questions on this, just let me know. It works, I promise!
You probably know this by now. But the black bars under the sims is a origin sims issue. It's under "Shadows" in the graphics settings. If Shadows are on high, put them to medium & the bars will be gone. It seemed to be an issue with the game running on updated machines. Just found out today.
I used to have this exact issue in Sims 2 and I had like the box pc. I stopped playing because of it. And now you're making me want the game, and sit down and play it. I used to play this, so much when I was younger.
WOW i play this from time to time and I never thought of turning down shadows to get rid of the dumb black squares lol. So excited to play without yoga mats following my sims everywhere heh...
I don’t care what anyone says, Sims 1 has the best music. I grew up playing sims 1 and getting so excited when I got a new expansion, ending up getting them all. Then moved onto sims 2, eventually got every expansion. I found the best part was the building options, you could actually use split level! Something which hasn’t been featured in any of the other games which is such a shame. I’m always trying to make houses with split level. Sims 3 has the best open world interaction. The way you can go anywhere in the neighbourhood and everything’s on the screen, instead of rectangle lots. Then sims 4, arguably the worst so far in terms of gameplay, but I really enjoy building houses in it, even though they removed a lot of the good features from the other games. I miss Sims 1!
I have all the sims games and I can honestly say The Sims 2 is the best, I tried playing sims 4 the other day and it just wasn't the same experience. I think I like playing the individual household and having the option to go out and explore without it been mandatory. I dunno it's just the best in my opinion and I've played it for like 10 years and I'm still not bored with it 😁
I nearly sang Halleluja when i found these vids on sims2. just got it for free off origin..and i'm struggling a bit to play..especially moving a sims from one house to another.. so i'll watch your vids as a guide..thanks dude!!
I find that sim customisation is best if you use Sims Body Shop. I can't seem to access it after having downloaded the free ultimate edition...(which also means no custom clothes, or skins), but it had so many more slider options for creating a really good sim face. Sigh...
Late answer, but you'll find Body shop here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\CSBin Also I don't get what you mean by "no custom clothes, or skins"? I've got loads of custom content in my game.
After watching a lot of your Sims 4 LPs I really appreciate how the designers finally dropped the everything-is-blue-and-rounded interface from 1-3 for something more minimalist and unobtrusive.
Just started playing this again (despite having Sims 3 so much better playing this with expansions than Sims 3 with none) but just got Nightlife and still trying to find Apartment Life and I love the idea of the Ikea stuff. I only got the square shadows after I installed Nightlife
When I was younger playing the sims 2 I remember someone told me when the sims act uncomfortable when you pick an outfit and keep the outfit they have a higher chance of random death lol. I literally couldn't not change the outfit straight from the fear of them dying because of it. I just remembered that I was so young lmao
This is the first James Turner video I ever watched. I wanted to watch sims 2 videos and this was what I happened to watched and I've been watching James ever since
Haha, I love you! You're hilarious and have such character. I believe the black boxes is like how far they can reach during conversation or dancing, and the game can't read the floor to the sim together
So I'm not the only one with the black bar! I started getting that glitch after upgrading my graphics card, but I think its an Nvidia Geforce driver issue. At least I know its a common problem with a lot of systems.
That annoying black box underneath the Sims happened to me as well (I'm using Windows 7) I found out that all you have to do is go into your options and change the shadow quality to medium, I had mine on high and as soon as I changed it to medium it went away! :)
sims 2 doesn't need much storage like sims 3 and 4. My computer crashed because of the graphics and everything that sims 3 had. I will stick with sims 2 and its cheaper.
does it load quickly ? I am curious because I heard some people say it crashes computers and I want to buy the sims 2 and am not sure if I should play it on my old windows 7 laptop or my new windows 10 computer :3
+Social Misfit my laptop is running windows 10 and its on the highest graphics and its running very smoothly. one thing is though the water and grass and shadows had a weird texture but thats a common problem with the ultimate collection and a simple google search showed me how to fix it. other than that its amazing. i added some mod that adds sun rise and sun set and a new grass mod that makes my game look beautiful. one other thing is because its all the expansion packs when you open build and buy mode and select like doors or beds or whatever category it takes a second longer to load all the items
I remember my sister would play the sims 2 in primary school on our very old computer. It was even old back then. She would come back from school, lauch the game and by the time she had done all her homework, cleaned the room, and eaten dinner the game was finally loaded and ready to play ^^ Only took a couple hours...
Oh jees, Sims 2 was technically my first Sims game. But I played so little of it and lost the disk I don't remember much of it. Can't wait to see where this leads!
Just bought a copy on eBay, got tired of sims 3, really don’t want to get 4, I just remember having so much fun with this one! Watching these while I wait for it to arrive, so keen!
Sims 2 was the best out of the whole series for me... Don't get me wrong I like the Sims 3 but it was just bland and lacked the little details Sims 2 had. For example not spawning forks and spoons out of mid air... They would actually USE the cabinets. I hope Sims 4 actually feels like "sims" again and not a bunch of lazy work.
+The Sim Supply, that black box you're concerned about is what's known - in programming terms - as a |crash area" or a "contact pad". If you noticed when you hovered the mouse over one of them you could select actions.
i hope The Sims 4 you can rent places i hate that you only get so much money and then when you buy a house you don't have no money left and i hope the game comes out on console to
If I remember right, the box is a shadow issue, if you change the quality, it will be fixed, I had to deal with that when I first got the Sims 2 Collection.
The big black box is your graphics card. There was a thread on MTS about solving that. One reason was a Nvidia update driver back around September broke things and people had to roll back. The newer update in November is supposed to be okay.
the sims 2 music will never get old. whether your makin a sim or in build or buy mode the sims 2 music will forever be my favorite
I only played the Sims 2 when I was about 5, and I stopped being able to play it when my old computer broke down, but I agree 100%.
True. I always remember that sweet songs.
Same 😍
Because it's upbeat and fast dance music. TS3 and TS4 on the other hand...
The cas music of Sims 2 is very calming for me when anxious
I might actually cry! My grandma and I used to play this together. We would sit side by side with our own laptop and play. I would sleep at her apartment and we would have fun. But now she’s getting tired fast and can’t have people sleep at her apartment.. really sad cause I miss those days... ❤️😭❤️❤️
That's so wholesome ❤

@@armandozertuche4054 There is a mod that removes the creepy "happy" grin when happy
Are you sure about that? Dying? Kids being taken away by child services?
@@gachafoxcreator4483 That's in every sims game, but what about simple robbers? We don't even have that, anymore, which is incredibly weird since it's always been in the game before.

Great Speech, congrats. You won my heart over.

The Sims 3 graphics looks hideous and pale!
The Sims 2>The Sims 3
You can tell that the sims 2 is the best in the series I am currently watching this in 2022 , and it brings back so many memories .
Does anyone else miss the turn on's and off's??
kylakat13 omg yes! I wish they would have the sims 2 and 3 stuff in the sims 4 ,but have the graphics of sims 4
You can have turn offs and turn ons with the slice of life mod on the sims 4, virus free, easy use, and fun, all the perks! Add other stuff like periods and dehydration, and stuff like that!
Sims 2 was my childhood, I'm getting serious nostalgia right now. I really want to go back home and play it now!
To those who's just watching this episode now and have no idea what the heck is with the black rectangles, it's Shadow issue. Try turning the shadow down to medium or, even better, turn it off. Hope this helps because it sure does to most people having this issue. :)
Nipplestroke just wanted to say i like your username man
***** lol
Thanks I have issues to
I did and it didn’t go away ;-;
I had to do this; had actually forgotten what I did to get rid of it, but it makes the game better and run smoother, as well.
sims 2 was the best sims tbh
true!!!!!!!
It had the best expansions too
+NordicCal true
lol no
Finally, a sensible person

Someone who finally agrees!!
+Domee894 Exactly! I remember when I got my cousin into the sims franchise, he even stated himself that the sims 2 was his favorite, and that made me really happy.
I love the cutscenes. I wish they had brought them back.
+Domee894 I'm totally rediscovering it. I spent a crazy amount of time playing it when it came out!
+Penguin Girl right?! They are awesome.
I absolutely love that his energy and way of recording hasnt changed much because I can come back and watch these old series and not just utterly cringe.
I think sims 2 is more realistic then sims 3. But I love sims 2 and 3 both! Great games!
I like all the sims games. except for urbz and sims 2 for ds and psp
Ciaran Hogg I agree with you there.
KaylaSweetxxx I like all the main sims games, even sims 4, I don't think it was another EA atrocity like Simcity 2013 was when it first came out.

The nostalgia is talking for you

Holly Davis Yes, I got the Ultimate Collection this month that way! But I did show my own discs...
Aw man, sucks my computer broke. Think I have a copy of double deluxe still lying around, too. Oh well.
I hear they just recently stopped doing that...

i cant do it :( when i go into options the shadows option is greyed out so i cant change it
It has nothing to do with origin. NVidia and AMD borked their drivers.
You can either turn the shadows down or downgrade your drivers
The way you giggle during CAS is hilarious :D
I used to have this exact issue in Sims 2 and I had like the box pc. I stopped playing because of it. And now you're making me want the game, and sit down and play it. I used to play this, so much when I was younger.
I really hope they bring back the movie moments they had in the sims 2. They made the milestones in your sims life so much better
WOW i play this from time to time and I never thought of turning down shadows to get rid of the dumb black squares lol. So excited to play without yoga mats following my sims everywhere heh...
TigerLillie lol 😂😂🙌
Yoga mats ..😭💀👏🏽
its been 10 years i missed hearing that intro thanks james
Yesss. I'm so pumped for this. I started on Sims 2! I never got to play Sims 1.
Also, I don't know why I just found this. I just noticed it's published in 2013 lol
I don’t care what anyone says, Sims 1 has the best music. I grew up playing sims 1 and getting so excited when I got a new expansion, ending up getting them all. Then moved onto sims 2, eventually got every expansion. I found the best part was the building options, you could actually use split level!

I wish they would mashup all the best things in these games in ts5
This is my favorite series of the sims 2. I wish James played this game again
When the Nightlife song came on in CAS, oooo I started going in, that song was LIT AF
I have all the sims games and I can honestly say The Sims 2 is the best, I tried playing sims 4 the other day and it just wasn't the same experience. I think I like playing the individual household and having the option to go out and explore without it been mandatory. I dunno it's just the best in my opinion and I've played it for like 10 years and I'm still not bored with it 😁
Now thats how you know its a good game
Oh man, I forgot about all the great times I had with this game :') Wish I could go back in time to when I had this game and hours of time to play it!
You can still buy it and play it.
Danny Blank Wha?! I thought it was only free for a certain amount of time :)
That program ended over a year ago.
Even if it didn't, this series ended.
I don't know why I said series, but the program for the full Sims 2 collection ended on July 31, 2014.
Awww, I've been waiting for this for so long. ♥
Probably going to reinstall this game with all of its expansions the next time I'm free~
The music
Man his voice doesn't change holy
I mean.. you can tell it changed quite a bit.
Love the sims 2 music
Its a shadow, turned off similar shadows in graphics options, also try changing resolution, that may also help
I nearly sang Halleluja when i found these vids on sims2. just got it for free off origin..and i'm struggling a bit to play..especially moving a sims from one house to another.. so i'll watch your vids as a guide..thanks dude!!
Gosh the nostalgia with this game!!!
Sims 2 was quiet a marvelous game. It had a great beginning and continues to become better.
CAS was just terrible though ... the sliders worked weirdly in my opinion. But they did have great hairs and clothing.
Rewatching this gem 😭
I've already watched this series twice already. I love them! Time to watch them all again!
I find that sim customisation is best if you use Sims Body Shop. I can't seem to access it after having downloaded the free ultimate edition...(which also means no custom clothes, or skins), but it had so many more slider options for creating a really good sim face. Sigh...
Late answer, but you'll find Body shop here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\CSBin
Also I don't get what you mean by "no custom clothes, or skins"? I've got loads of custom content in my game.
Help, I can’t export my sims from the body shop
After watching a lot of your Sims 4 LPs I really appreciate how the designers finally dropped the everything-is-blue-and-rounded interface from 1-3 for something more minimalist and unobtrusive.
I actually enjoyed it being that way. Now, it's too "real" and I don't like it, at all. Not everything needs to be minimalist, especially in a game.
Omg, this is sooo nostalgic. I used to go to my friends house just to play this until I got my own, & then I got allll the expansions 😂
If you change the settings on shadows to middle, the thing under the sims goes away :)
Show Simmer for me it only goes away outside of the house and while they’re in, it’s still there
@MsBikasa
Sameeee
Just started playing this again (despite having Sims 3 so much better playing this with expansions than Sims 3 with none) but just got Nightlife and still trying to find Apartment Life and I love the idea of the Ikea stuff. I only got the square shadows after I installed Nightlife
Explain why The Sims 3 is better?
The Sims 2 beats it in every way!
I know, I had to install Sims 2 again because 3 got boring pretty quickly
Still love the Sims 2 and still play it on my older computer! Enjoyed it As always!
"I'm not standing in line to get an autograph of this nose" 😂😂😂
For some who only played sims 3 and up I’m blown away by the detail of sims 2
SO MANY MEMORIES...
It's so much fun to see the sims 2 again. I've been playing the sims 3 now for so long, I can hardly remember how it was to play the sims 2.
Watching your sims 2 series in 2022 😊
When I was younger playing the sims 2 I remember someone told me when the sims act uncomfortable when you pick an outfit and keep the outfit they have a higher chance of random death lol.
I literally couldn't not change the outfit straight from the fear of them dying because of it. I just remembered that I was so young lmao
This is the first James Turner video I ever watched. I wanted to watch sims 2 videos and this was what I happened to watched and I've been watching James ever since
I don't know y people say the sims 2 looks better. It dosen't at all. It was just more fun.
you must haven't seen them customized then, only in their maxis form and you'd say different
Well, it actually looks like a complete and stable game.
i dont care what they say i wanna play Sims2
Better than what? sims 1 yes. sims 4 no (but way more fun).
It's called nostalgia, it makes people hate everything but what they've grown up with
Haha, I love you! You're hilarious and have such character. I believe the black boxes is like how far they can reach during conversation or dancing, and the game can't read the floor to the sim together
This is how bad I am - whenever I see you upload a new vid I immediately fangirl...
James' commentary is hilarious, lmaoo
I have so many memories of this game.
So I'm not the only one with the black bar! I started getting that glitch after upgrading my graphics card, but I think its an Nvidia Geforce driver issue. At least I know its a common problem with a lot of systems.
james is always so unintentionally funny i love it
"I'm not standing in line to get autograph from this nose" omg that cracked me up 😂😂
That annoying black box underneath the Sims happened to me as well (I'm using Windows 7) I found out that all you have to do is go into your options and change the shadow quality to medium, I had mine on high and as soon as I changed it to medium it went away! :)
The same thing happened to me!
sims 2 doesn't need much storage like sims 3 and 4. My computer crashed because of the graphics and everything that sims 3 had. I will stick with sims 2 and its cheaper.
Watching this unlocks so many deep memories I love it
Wow this is so old... I love it
This brings back so many memories... oh god...
i got a new computer (Windows 10) the sims 2 is AMAZING. No glitches whatsoever
does it load quickly ? I am curious because I heard some people say it crashes computers and I want to buy the sims 2 and am not sure if I should play it on my old windows 7 laptop or my new windows 10 computer :3

Adam Jehu I try to get it but it says it's to outdated to play,rip
I've watched this lp through so many times, it's definitely my favourite!
That nostalgic af music! Middle school feels af!
I remember my sister would play the sims 2 in primary school on our very old computer. It was even old back then. She would come back from school, lauch the game and by the time she had done all her homework, cleaned the room, and eaten dinner the game was finally loaded and ready to play ^^ Only took a couple hours...
I've got the Sims 2 the other day and I'm already addicted to it XD Mine works totally fine and doesn't have those black boxes.
After a major rant about the sims 4 on twitter I came here to enjoy some good ol' times :3
I thought I'd only played Sims 1, 3, and 4, but this just brought back so many memories I didn't know I had
Like I have a vivid memory of using custom content to make my sim look like Eminem because of reasons
Oh jees, Sims 2 was technically my first Sims game. But I played so little of it and lost the disk I don't remember much of it.
Can't wait to see where this leads!
Tbh I never played this but I got a bunch of discounted sims 2 games the other day to try it out 😂
Just bought a copy on eBay, got tired of sims 3, really don’t want to get 4, I just remember having so much fun with this one! Watching these while I wait for it to arrive, so keen!
Sims 2 was great and a great approvement of sims 1, but its true, all sims look the same :D
If Sims 2 had the graphics of Sims 4, it would be too much happiness from me.
2021 and i miss sims2 . Haha
Wow I never thought you would do a sims 2 let's play, I didn't think you cared for it. Good to see, there isn't nearly enough Sims 2 let's players.
wow I haven't played sims 2 in such a long time. I am so use to playing Sims 3 and sims 4.
the memories.....
I’m so sad I sold my Sims 2 and 3 games... I do have some Sims 3 on my Origin, but I had so many ah😢 the memories! ❤️
Honestly this is the best sims game
Sims 2 was the best out of the whole series for me... Don't get me wrong I like the Sims 3 but it was just bland and lacked the little details Sims 2 had. For example not spawning forks and spoons out of mid air... They would actually USE the cabinets. I hope Sims 4 actually feels like "sims" again and not a bunch of lazy work.

Spoilers, The sims 4 is considered by some “The worst sims hame made”
This brings back so Many memories
I'm laughing so hard watching you change her nose around!
These were the days of Sims games! Still love to play it. :)
+The Sim Supply, that black box you're concerned about is what's known - in programming terms - as a |crash area" or a "contact pad". If you noticed when you hovered the mouse over one of them you could select actions.
Me and my friends use to play sims 2 all the time.
i hope The Sims 4 you can rent places i hate that you only get so much money and then when you buy a house you don't have no money left and i hope the game comes out on console to
Can't you rent places on sims 3? haha I have apartments on mine that you can rent.
You can rent apartments in the late night expansion pack...
If I remember right, the box is a shadow issue, if you change the quality, it will be fixed, I had to deal with that when I first got the Sims 2 Collection.
"And he is not gonna be stinky" has me dead lmao
uugggh the nostalgia im going to cry omg
Great start to the series! I only hope my Sims 2 let's play can someday be this successful! :)
Sims 2 on console was the Sims game I played the most. The story mode is awesome. I miss the story mode going to all the premade houses.
This is so nostalgic!! Looking through the newspaper to find a job? Totally forgot about this!
Antisocial Butterfly yep! I miss it so much tho😔
I’ve played the sims 2 before, years ago, I really can’t remember what I did. But the CAS here looks VERY familiar lol. I kinda wanna play now.
The big black box is your graphics card. There was a thread on MTS about solving that. One reason was a Nvidia update driver back around September broke things and people had to roll back. The newer update in November is supposed to be okay.
This series makes me want to play the Sims 2 again!
Love it I just installed sims 2 complete collection
Rewatching this series🙌🏽
Oh my gosh, this has made my day. I miss Sims 2.
Finally! A sims 2 series! Thank you!
finally.... 2013-2015
Yesss! Ive been waiting for AGES for sims 2 LP!!! Lovee it
The nostalgia is REAL
