Back in the good old days of The Sims franchise. Idk about you guys, but sims 2 is the most complete version of all generations. There were cars, complete life stages with their own unique experience, good graphics for it’s time, stable gameplay, deep experiences, best reationship/dating/hangout system, memories, wants and Fears, aspirarion meter, neighborhoods with their unique lore and history, dramma, EXTREMELLY smart sims with real personalities and preferences, good apartament system, a great business system, amazing college experience(really, going to university in sims 2 felt always so real and nostalgic with their 90’s vibe), smart functional pets and the BEST vacation/trips system, that really made you feel like you’re in vacation, and let’s not forget, a GREAT genetics/genes system. God, i wish they could do a sims 5 like this again. There are no flaws that i could point on sims 2.
I'm watching this while playing the Sims 2. my friend was able to get me the Sims 2 and all expansions and extra content for absolutely free and I can't stop playing. I've been playing the Sims since the Sims 1 and simcity. the Sims 2 will always have a special place in my heart, and will be my favorite game in the series unless they bring back a completely open world, and a ton of base options (either pets, children, or other things of the sorts that should be in a base game)
Nobody plays sims 4, lets move past the disaster and restart from the ground up with open world, zero loading screens and 100 added features instead of 89 missing ones...sims 5 anyone???
this is sooo true! i love the sims 2. the game was fun and keep me going. im actually re-buying all the exp packs so i can play them again. Great thing is....they are so cheap now!
Sims 2 is better because you can have all of the expansion packs and your game runs smoothly, but with Sims 3 if you only have one or two expansion packs it takes forever to load and is laggy.
MissJessieR what u said it's very true for most ppl but those that have all the Sim3 and have a very smooth gameplay on their computer likely think otherwise..the Sim3 was pretty laggy on my pc but that's because it couldn't handle the game that well. My friend has a custom built gaming rig with all the expansion packs and the sims run smoothly and it's a blast to play...better in many ways than the Sim 2

So much better than sims four. We have all this stuff now but all different packs. Apartments…city living. Or eco lifestyle has two apartment buildings. Then vending machines ope gotta buy snowy escape (one also in the new HS pack) reputation? Hmmm gotta buy get famous. And so on. Still don’t have spiral staircases or burglars. Or the jungle gyms in this video, still don’t have those. EA has gotten so greedy compared to how cool maxis was. Also able to build your own apartments! Sims four could never.
They should make a Sims 3 game where you can move things up and down on a wall, make clothes, several different blue print options for a house, animals, use note pads and sketch books, chrismas stuff, halloween stuff, birthday stuff, make your own designs without having to install or download the pattern tool, etc.
***** Nah the sims 2 better than 3 because its have a nice animation and color (graphic , effect) and the sims have bad forniture and wallpaperthe sims 4 better than 3 and the sims 2 better than 3 :3 sorry about bad english
I really really miss being able to make your own apartments/townhouses. I wish this had been in Sims 3 and beg them to add it to sims 4, if that is not to be then please please have it be a base game or early addition to later versions. I have been playing The Sims since the beginning, I think I have bought every expansion ever made. I have invested so much time and money and all I want is to be able to make proper TownHouses again!
Build the building as though you're building a house, but make sure each apartment has its own apartment door, and no other doors leading out into an unenclosed space (you can have decks/balconies, but they must be enclosed by railings without stairs leading down), then open the cheat box and put: "changeLotZoning apartmentbase" then push enter.
i love this.,.!!!! im gonna buy and play this.,. the truth is i just bought the sims 2 freetime and then boom theres new again.,. i really love it.,. good job,..!!! ;) im so happy.,.!!!!
i want to complete all the expansion packs of the sims 2.,. then on 2009, i will surely nuy the new the sims 3., the sims is really my favorite i love it.,.
I already have Bon Voyage, and I know the vacation I have to go to to find that map. Once I get the last three expansion packs (OfB, S, & FT) I'll start that challenge!
Not as good: 1. Can't create your own Apartment Buildings 2. You can't create your own City-style Neighborhoods At the end of the day: The Sims 3 (which has Open World) with the NRaaS Apartment Mod is the best experience for simulating a City.
@@names_are_useless I like this one better to be honest, first of all in order to create apartment you don't need a mod just building cheat, right? Oh also the Sims 3 nightlife or whatever the pack is called i forgot, you can't even visit neighbor tenant.
@KellyRuleszzzz No, The Sims 3 franchise didn't marked the end. This game is new and you have to give him time, it is 1 year old only,compared to TS2 which is 6 years old. You will see that, in the future, there will be cool EPs. Besides, it didn't mark the end cause there are more that a million people that LOVE this game!
Apartment life looks really awesome! I wanted to get it but I read some reviews and lots of people are complaining that it has Securom and will crash your computer and if you uninstall it, it will still crash your computer. It's a 50/50, whether it will work great or crash your computer forever. It's up to you if you want to take the chance.
This looks amazing! I only need this one, Ikea home stuff and Mansion and Garden stuff to complete my collection! They are all on my Christmas list. Yay!
thanks oh if you want a challenge try this make a family of 8. Make each of them into something different one zombie, one werewolf, vampire, plant sim, good witch, evil witch, and neural, witch hen have the last person be normal i did my house was crazy aslo mine are all brothers and sisters try it. it is a fun challange
Yes you can. I have apartment life and one of my sims has a cat. Pets can still live in the apartment and so on. I don't know what's different with the apartment pets pack. I should look more into it.
I just got this game for free by EA. I hate I was so late getting it. I didn't know they were offering it free years ago. I was just about to stop playing it Now it's sucked me back in lol
Thanxs! The minute I get OfB & Seasons, I'm going to start that challenge (only I'm adding an alien instead of the two other witches). Also, do you know if you can play Bigfoot? If so, I'll try to put him in the challenge as well!
ahh i miss this game. i wish i had it but its gone and i dont have it origin so bye sims 2. Hopefuly sometime in the future i can find the game and all eps
why? because of the ultimate edition? well i got it before the whole I-LOVE-THE-SIMS business and i didn't really buy it, a friend lended me all his sims 2 games
Also i wouldn't be kicking myself if i had bought the sims 2 and didnt get them from a friend cause how was i suppose to know they're just gonna give it away for free
It's a really good game. If you have enough RAM on your computer. If don't (like mine) it will work it will just go very slow. But when I was watching my sister play it on her new laptop it worked really well. So if you don't have it I reccomend you get it.
oh my fucking god ! she have every sims 2 games ! omgomgomgomgomgomg.. LIKE OMG !! i am like a sims 2 no. 1 FAN !! i want every game from sims 2. grrr.. (jealousy occurs)
YYYEEESSS!!! THANK YOU so much! I got this game when it came out, and always wanted to make my own appartments!! XD Thank you! I use a lot of cheats, and figured that you could just make your own appartments automatically so I didn't search for more... BUT THANK YOU!! XD XD
Going back to these videos you can CLEARLY see they lack this level of passion nowadays. Ts4 does not even live up to the standard that ts2 set. Just let it die instead of crapping out "knockoffs" with no soul.
Er, I forgot, how do you make a zombie? And what about a plant sim? Your challenge sounds fun, and I want to try it! But what if that last person is instead, a ROBOT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Please release this for mac. I used to have a of and own all the expansions and stuff packs only to have to rebuy them for my Mac and be disappointed that my favourite expansion isn't available on mac :(
uni-knowledge, fortune and popularity sims nightlife-pleasure and popularity sims OFB-Fortune sims seasons-Family sims freetime-family and pleasure(?) sims apartment life-popularity sims well this is my opinion on which aspirations that are more better adapted in the following expansions
@Amy199able If you cant wait, Make a family and move them into a lot, (Preferably with alot of trees,) And if you have Sims 3 World Adventures you can buy a tent and put it in the lot, and then buy everything else that fits the theme, and when your done you can move your sims out,
I really wonder why the sims could make playable apartments without loading screens and the like in 2008, but they can't now. I don't know anything about game design but I feel that if you were able to make something in 2008 in an earlier game of the same franchise, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to do the same 15 years later. And that goes for a lot of details and features included on Sims 2 and missing on Sims 4 (I won't even compare TS4 with TS3, because the open world mechanic is very different, but Sims 2 and 4 are way more similar gameplay wise, except that Sims 4 seems lackluster in almost every aspect. Why don't we have real dance and football activities on Sims 4 the way there was on Sims 2?)
can i just say. . .this woman has the most pleasant, comforting voice I've ever heard

You said it! 🙏🏻
You are right, I got the ultimate collection, but my pets can be really dumb when it comes to eating lol
I remember how excited I was when I saw this expansion in the store.
Same! I remember when Seasons came out too so many fond memories with the sims 2!
I'm watching this while playing the Sims 2. my friend was able to get me the Sims 2 and all expansions and extra content for absolutely free and I can't stop playing.

This pack is better than city living...
And I as a Mac user can never play AL :(
@@sgtjohnson yes i feel so bad haha
It’s been 13 years… and the game is still great! The Sims 4 is nothing comparing to The Sims 2
Nobody plays sims 4, lets move past the disaster and restart from the ground up with open world, zero loading screens and 100 added features instead of 89 missing ones...sims 5 anyone???
FusionGamerElite But i play i play all the sims games
CyberDecider Dont worry everthing is okay EA and Maxies will help these uh ohs
What about the "a little famous" UA-camrs? I mean, LaurenzSide, Joey Graceffa, LDShadowLady, etc.
Ok make a whole game and get back to me
That would be laggier than TS3 was.
Sims 2 is the will always be the best whatever you guys say.If u have all the exp pack like me you will think the same. :)
this is sooo true! i love the sims 2. the game was fun and keep me going. im actually re-buying all the exp packs so i can play them again. Great thing is....they are so cheap now!

Melanie Ivan i have all for both and i am inclined to agree, though sims 3 has good game play, the quirks in sims 2 make it extraordinary.
I'm as old as this game (;_;)
This game definately has a special place in my heart
Who else?
drewwashere10 Meeeeee
drewwashere10 best sims game ever
mee toooo
Sadly this game didn't come out for Mac, and it wasn't released on Sims 2 Super collection :(
Wish they released the last 2 EP b4 releasing sims 3..
I was 10 when this came out and so obsessed. Still love The Sims 2!
So much better than sims four. We have all this stuff now but all different packs. Apartments…city living. Or eco lifestyle has two apartment buildings. Then vending machines ope gotta buy snowy escape (one also in the new HS pack) reputation? Hmmm gotta buy get famous. And so on. Still don’t have spiral staircases or burglars. Or the jungle gyms in this video, still don’t have those. EA has gotten so greedy compared to how cool maxis was. Also able to build your own apartments! Sims four could never.
I wanna see a Sims Organized Crime expansion. That would be fun!
Playing and watching sims 2 walktroughs and trailers over and over because sims 2 are unforgetable.
They should make a Sims 3 game where you can move things up and down on a wall, make clothes, several different blue print options for a house, animals, use note pads and sketch books, chrismas stuff, halloween stuff, birthday stuff, make your own designs without having to install or download the pattern tool, etc.
i think im in love with Lakshmi she just got a wonderful face and voice
That game has the most personality!
The sims 2 is better than the sims 3
***** Nah the sims 2 better than 3 because its have a nice animation and color (graphic , effect) and the sims have bad forniture and wallpaperthe sims 4 better than 3 and the sims 2 better than 3 :3 sorry about bad english
+القمر ماء يجري فضحتنا :3
so true
True sims 2 is better than sims 3
***** sims 3 is a badly optimized mess. It doesnt have the same features as the sims 2, takes forever to load, and isnt anything special.
I really really miss being able to make your own apartments/townhouses. I wish this had been in Sims 3 and beg them to add it to sims 4, if that is not to be then please please have it be a base game or early addition to later versions.

I miss the sims 2 so much, :'( for me is the better sims game ever !
I remember watching this video back when Apartment life first came out, and I wanted it so bad. lol
When The Sims was great...
Build the building as though you're building a house, but make sure each apartment has its own apartment door, and no other doors leading out into an unenclosed space (you can have decks/balconies, but they must be enclosed by railings without stairs leading down), then open the cheat box and put: "changeLotZoning apartmentbase" then push enter.
im going to get that game soon and im gonna play it the hole day long ill try and bank school too to play this awesome game
Mac users never got to experience this gem :(
i love this.,.!!!! im gonna buy and play this.,. the truth is i just bought the sims 2 freetime and then boom theres new again.,. i really love it.,. good job,..!!! ;) im so happy.,.!!!!
How is this better than the next expansion (City Living) for The Sims 4, a modern title.
Its not better, but it did pave the way
as far as i know this chick is still working at ea with the Sims 4. best job ever
i want to complete all the expansion packs of the sims 2.,. then on 2009, i will surely nuy the new the sims 3., the sims is really my favorite i love it.,.
I like The Sims 4 graphics but the previous games (The Sims 2 & 3) have more options and freedom.
That Sims calender in the back is awesome!!!!!
I already have Bon Voyage, and I know the vacation I have to go to to find that map. Once I get the last three expansion packs (OfB, S, & FT) I'll start that challenge!
Oh my gosh. I have had apartment life for atleast a year and there are some things that I didn't even know I could do! That's awesome!
I want this game!!! it's a pity that I haven't seen it in stores...! I think I will buy it in the net... :/
I like this expansion pack. I believe this paved the way for the upcoming expansion pack for Sims 4, City Living
Not as good:
1. Can't create your own Apartment Buildings
2. You can't create your own City-style Neighborhoods
At the end of the day: The Sims 3 (which has Open World) with the NRaaS Apartment Mod is the best experience for simulating a City.

cant wait to get my copy of the game getting double deluxe!

It's a 50/50, whether it will work great or crash your computer forever. It's up to you if you want to take the chance.
I reinstalled the full collection last night and have two sims in college.
sadly for Mac users full collection doesn't include free time or apartment life :(
This looks amazing! I only need this one, Ikea home stuff and Mansion and Garden stuff to complete my collection! They are all on my Christmas list. Yay!
Don't hate on the sims 3, in about a year or two there will be lots more expansion packs and the sims 2 will be completely forgotten about.
i'm geting it for christmas
thanks oh if you want a challenge try this make a family of 8. Make each of them into something different one zombie, one werewolf, vampire, plant sim, good witch, evil witch, and neural, witch hen have the last person be normal
i did my house was crazy aslo mine are all brothers and sisters
try it. it is a fun challange
I got this game from my mom 2 months ago, I play it every day :)
I can't believe this came out 5 years ago. I've always wanted it. ;-;
I'm saving for the sims 3 too. it sound AWESOME
I had my brothers help on buying some of the expansion packs
Yes you can. I have apartment life and one of my sims has a cat. Pets can still live in the apartment and so on. I don't know what's different with the apartment pets pack. I should look more into it.
I own all the sims2 ha ha
this is so fun I play it all the time
I love this game more than all of u combinded
I love the sims 2 sims. This makes me want to play apartment life.
Those good old days that they didn't have to lie or hype to sell their shits
I just got this game for free by EA. I hate I was so late getting it. I didn't know they were offering it free years ago. I was just about to stop playing it
Now it's sucked me back in lol
Yes you can build apartments and hotels. You just have to change the zoning of the lot.
Thanxs! The minute I get OfB & Seasons, I'm going to start that challenge (only I'm adding an alien instead of the two other witches). Also, do you know if you can play Bigfoot? If so, I'll try to put him in the challenge as well!
Yay!!I already had this,open for business!!and its continued with Mansion and Garden Stuff
They need money when they had $156,483 XD
ahh i miss this game. i wish i had it but its gone and i dont have it origin so bye sims 2. Hopefuly sometime in the future i can find the game and all eps
I found and brought the sims 2 and all eps + stuff packs ^_^ so happy
TheCrazyBrittish I bet you're kicking yourself now
why? because of the ultimate edition? well i got it before the whole I-LOVE-THE-SIMS business and i didn't really buy it, a friend lended me all his sims 2 games
Also i wouldn't be kicking myself if i had bought the sims 2 and didnt get them from a friend cause how was i suppose to know they're just gonna give it away for free
Oh lighten up I was only teasing
i like the name belladonna cove its great!
It's a really good game. If you have enough RAM on your computer. If don't (like mine) it will work it will just go very slow. But when I was watching my sister play it on her new laptop it worked really well. So if you don't have it I reccomend you get it.
Wow... When i whatched this it reminded me of The sims 3 Generations because it comes with spiral stairs and new playground stuff
oh my fucking god !
she have every sims 2 games !
omgomgomgomgomgomg..
LIKE OMG !!
i am like a sims 2 no. 1 FAN !!
i want every game from sims 2.
grrr.. (jealousy occurs)
the witches are the best feture
best expansion ever!!!
So much better than apartments in sims 3!!!!
Sims 2 is waaaaay better than 3.... Atleast we can even see what's in the community lots unlike The Sims 3...
I live in PA and the closest place where you can find pc sims 2 expansion packs is Texas! So now I have to buy them online!
@cooldudeT98 that may be because there are only like 2 expansion packs. once u have all of them the game play will change
I want this EP so bad,it looks like a really good EP,and BTW pause at 0:14.
YYYEEESSS!!! THANK YOU so much! I got this game when it came out, and always wanted to make my own appartments!! XD Thank you! I use a lot of cheats, and figured that you could just make your own appartments automatically so I didn't search for more... BUT THANK YOU!! XD XD
i love sims!!
hahahah thats funny. Thats so true!! how cool!!!
Looks like their last expansion pack is going out with a bang!! It looks awesome
Going back to these videos you can CLEARLY see they lack this level of passion nowadays. Ts4 does not even live up to the standard that ts2 set. Just let it die instead of crapping out "knockoffs" with no soul.
Yes because she sounds absolutely enthralled
Yes. Sims 2 Double Deluxe includes the base game, Nightlife, and the celebration stuff pack.
10 years ago 😵
Er, I forgot, how do you make a zombie? And what about a plant sim? Your challenge sounds fun, and I want to try it! But what if that last person is instead, a ROBOT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Wow.... it feels like just yesterday i wanted to go out and buy the gamw
@DVSB100 It's Because In The Sims 2 They're Considered 'Special Sims' And They Want US THE PLAYERS To Discover Them.
i think this is the best expansion of the sims 2
I wish this walkthrough thing was as long as the others (7 mins) cus I like watching these as I havn't got the E.P yet :P
i got this game!it is awesome!
Look at all those expansion packs in the back! I want Seasons and Bon Voyage!! :D
that calendar looks cool i want one for myself! :D
@annasotoinu It's an expansion so you have to download the sims 2 which is only avaible now as sims2/double delux.
What am I even doing here. Oh, I know... I just love sims 2
i luff that game its so fun lol
omg this game is so fun i made just about every person in pleasantview a bad witch/warlock
@mal152010 just press the "[ ]" buttons. everything you need to know is in the game encyclopedia
Please release this for mac. I used to have a of and own all the expansions and stuff packs only to have to rebuy them for my Mac and be disappointed that my favourite expansion isn't available on mac :(
girl, this game is 12 years old
I would say apartment life :) Gives you alot more to do and play with :D
uni-knowledge, fortune and popularity sims
nightlife-pleasure and popularity sims
OFB-Fortune sims
seasons-Family sims
freetime-family and pleasure(?) sims
apartment life-popularity sims
well this is my opinion on which aspirations that are more better adapted in the following expansions
its a great game, I think you'll love it!
sims 2 is the superior game
I just saw this in my Walmart last night lol
@Amy199able If you cant wait, Make a family and move them into a lot, (Preferably with alot of trees,) And if you have Sims 3 World Adventures you can buy a tent and put it in the lot, and then buy everything else that fits the theme, and when your done you can move your sims out,
@27jengirl it is an expansion pack and i have double deluxe too.
I Got The Sims 2 Apartment Life Expansion Pack IT IS DA BEST!!! i like how you can turn into a WITCH!!!!
I'm dying to get this expansion!AL is the best EP and Seasons too,in my opinion.Great game.
Lakshmi Jayapalan, that's such a pretty name, suits you!
Did you see all those CD Boxes in the back? O_O

Apartment life is great but university is fun too and I love both of them and university is cheaper on ebay ^^
