Thank yo but can you pls make more
Do sims 3. This made me want to play Sims 2
@@loophole1170 nah... XD
Thanks!
The Sims2 is the only game where the sims can propose engagement while sitting on a table, and toast to that afterwards...
Yep. Surprise proposal with a ring in champagne glass.
Yes! So romantic for my sims 😂
That was always my favorite way to propose.
I lived for that interaction I always let my sims propose at Breakfast it was so cute
And sims 2 is the only game that when ur married u have an automatic ring on
Don't forget that you actually had to buy groceries when the fridge run out of food and go shopping for clothes if you wanna change outfit...I'm really missing these details!
Marco Bernardini same
The grocery thing could be done in sims 3 with a mod but ikr sims 2 is amazing
I never did that I'd always buy a new fridge lol
@@Rozhinnnn I mean, in ts3 you needed to have the exact produce to cook a meal, no?
I know!!!! I was wondering where the grocery stores were, the schools that we were able to go to, the fact that you could get in a car to travel! Just remembering how they even had spiral stairs and now they are nowhere to be found!
The sims 2 was created with love and appreciation for the fans that bought the first Sims franchise.
Well Wright cared, and Maxis tried their best. EA? NOPE.
This, Sims 2 really feels like a passion project. All the insane details, all the goofy interactions, it must have been really fun for them making the game. It's been really going downhill since. While Sims 3 made some huge improvements while taking a few cuts here and there, Sims 4 is just a bare minimum of what qualifies as a Sims game.
It's truth and The sims 2 was created by happy and sensible persons.
Sims 4 seems like a regression,as if sims 3 was his sequel
@@LucyAdroit its EA what did you expect
i decided once to look at the stars at night so my sim would have some relax, then a satellite fell on his head and killed him with a huge explosion. Best game ever.
😂😂😂😭😭
🤣I love how dramatic it was
That escalated quickly 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Ea was like: “you want better graphics? Okay you’re gonna get boring gameplay”
S2 graphics arent that bad😟
Too busy upgrading the graphics, dont have time to write codes to this realistic stuffs
The graphics have hardly advanced too
That makes sense now... sims 3 and on and I’ve just been bored when I used to be able to play for days on end. I know I’m getting older but glad to know it’s not just me.
Sims 2 graphics and the look of the sims are better than Sims 3 IMO
I don't want Sims 5, I want Sims 2 Remastered!
They need to scrub the code of TS2 and use that as the foundation for TS5. I would buy fucking extra copies just for an updated TS2 2.0 experience
Unless they put will be loving Sims 2 back in it's Sims 5
I would buy that.
You know what I’d love? Sims that had the points system and gameplay from 2, the open world, traits, and aspirations from 3, and the emotions from 4. It can’t be that hard, right?
yes please EA, take note of all the good things Sims 2 had and do the same with Sims 5! We want a bit more effort put into the the sims again not just updated graphics.
Remember when teen Sims were actually shorter than adults? I really miss that.
But its mostly not realistic. Most kids are getting taller than their adults.
@@someone96741 it is realistic 😐
@@jess6882 no
@@caitlynm6202 right because teenagers definitely stop growing taller into adulthood and instead become shorter by the time they reach adulthood.
Well, I'm a teenager (16) and I'm taller than the average adult. I think there should be more steps to the age. Like preteen, where you're older than a kid but younger than a teen
That awkward moment when you were 12 and your sims had woohoo for the first time and the screen would show up and you couldn’t skip it and that exact second your parents would walk into the room👀
That is why I always turned the screen away or off
@@LucyAdroit hahah same!
@@LucyAdroit I just held the keyboard in front of the screen
You're giving me flashbacks
@Decaying Corpse having wicked whims installed makes things even more stressful
It’s things like this that made the sims feel more human. Sims 4 has an entire emotion system and the sims still feel like robots
I was agreeing with this completely but then you said “feel more human” and I remembered on how you can grill a baby in this game.
@WasabiLover yeah I agree. So much attention to Sims who only have three character traits
I'm a gay political man and I can tell you that I get bullied by more people who like Sims 4 than the other sims games.
I dunno Connor, I love both.
@@Deanhughes5707.... you're the only one bringing politics into it man. i like all sims games. they each bring different things to the table tbh.
You forgot one where if a bathtub upstairs gets broke, the ceiling downstairs will drip water from where the bathtub is placed upstairs.
Oh my god that sounds amazing! Thanks for letting me know. Wish I could add that in the video at this point
Oh my god so that why I always had a puddle downstairs in the exact position where my broken bathtub was upstairs?? I assume it was the dog peeing lol. The Sims 2 is so great I can’t even describe it
CursedChad you can also get fired from your job if you made a wrong desicion when the decision thing came up while your sims at work. Edit: apparently it can also happened in both Sims 3 and Sims 4 -_-
If I'm not wrong, if a sim with low hygiene sits on a chair the chair will be stinky for a few seconds
Omg never heared of that! And never realised it
In sims 2, you could also enroll your kids in a private school when they had good grades. To get there you had to invite the principle and impress him with a good meal and showing him that your family had good manners. I found it so much fun!
omg, I totally forgot about that!
omg yess hahaha
This was my fav part of the game. I had a poor family and couldn’t impress the headmaster so my kid didn’t get into private school. The whole house was depressed.
Or you could just sleep with the principal
Omg I did this often !
Sims 1: charm and genuine humor. Sims 2: realistic personalities and unique aspects. Sims 3: decent gameplay yet very interesting activities. Sims 4: amazing graphics, terrible gameplay.
That's what I loved so much about Sims 1 it was so chaotic half the time especially with all the extensions and it was hilarious.
In my opinion The Sims 4 looks like a Pixar movie to me. Even the animations are cartoony and I'm not a fan as I prefer something more realistic. The graphics of The Sims 3 and Medieval are beautiful, though the Sims in TS3 have that pudding face :/
And the sims 4 graphics aren’t even that good
@@t.castro4493 thank god for sims 4 modders. they’re singlehandedly saving the entire sims franchise
If you took sims 4 graphics, Sims 3 activities and dlc, and Sims 2 charm and just overall better gameplay you'd have the best Sims game ever
I don’t know why they got rid of these great little things smh.
Simple. They get lazy and yeah EA is the big problems
@Achmad Putra lol wtf
Achmad Putra can you tell EA to get their shit together. Thanks
simple, budget cuts
maybe the staff changed...
Who remembers teens could sneak out at night with friends or bf/gf and sometimes be brought home by the cops?
that was literally my fave thing in the game
@vian jazz napoleon sims 2
or when we could carry babies
Lily Pole i LIVED for that 😩
sharmin clean sims freeplay you can
anyone who doesn’t agree that sims 2 is the best sims game, simply never played it. everything about this game made me happy and experience so many emotions. 😢
Ive played Sims 2 a lot of times but I dont think it's the best I think it's amazing but there is a lot of things missing just like any other Sims Games.
@@idk_who2320 you're right, me specifically though, I had a lot of fun memories with that game and I loved the soundtrack and everything. Even the console version was fun xD
Sims 3 is definitely better. Sims 2 is great (I have played it and grew up wanting the hell out of it). Sims 2 wins for details but sims 3’s gameplay is just absolutely something different.
@@2000foxygirl I understand what you are talking about but the sims 1 is the most chaotic😂
@@same4585 the soundtracks make me cry :'( I miss that time of my childhood :c
Idk why, but my favourite thing about the sims 2 pizza is that it steams up when you open it. It makes the pizza look more delicious.
I would never refer to these things as "fun little details". These are all things that bring the game to life, and the sims 4 is lacking them.
facts
Lots of intregal parts of the game are missing from TS4
actually i would love if they added the fact that you don't have infinite food in the sims 4.
the character designs are good its just if they had all of these characteristics and stuff thats older would be wa better
Sims 3 too in most areas. The open world is cool but not a big deal for me, I love all the face and body sliders and the color wheel is EVERYTHING. And personally I prefer Sims 2 and 3 graphics over Sims 4 Cartoon(even on highest settings there's barely any change that kills me). The CAS and Build Mode are the only improvements in my opinion.
Sims 5 should basically just be a remastered sims 2
You're right.
Koha Shizuka With the sims 3 open world and colour wheel
@@heidia1804 +Sims 4 CAS too and that be a legendary sims game
Or they could just fix Sims 4 first
Sims 2 gameplay Sims 3 open world and color wheel (only if doesn't cause the game to lag) Sims 4 CAS, build mode and gallery
The jump from Sims 1 to Sims 2 was legendary
Forever thankful to be in the generation of people who was an actual kid when this game came out - best game ever! So nostalgic and made my childhood much more memorable ❤
@@surethabadenhorst Appreciate how the uploader mentioned that these details are NOT in Sims 3. People have a very rose coloured view on that game. I remember it being quite disappointing!
@@sayno2lolzisback deffinitely, I was disappointed and taken aback with the whole whole neighbourhood aging on and off, i only like my current household to age so at least they fixed that in TS4. Going from TS1 to TS2 was legendary 110%
@@sayno2lolzisback I remember that nobody wanted to buy Sims 3, they were super anti. Then we caved in and bought it. It definitely has its pros regarding the graphics but Sims 2 gameplay was just awesome.
Yo, I've really forgotten how complete and immersive the Sims 2 was. What it lacked in graphics it SURE made up for in personality
I hated it when it came out because the graphics are too high quality and it makes the game run slowly. only now can I play the graphics set on high, only on one of my computers, the other I still need it set to minimum. So the graphics should have been worse.
@@morgantrias3103 What kind of potato are you playing on? Please don’t tell me you’re one of the people that just goes to Best Buy and buys a netbook expecting it to play games.
@@subarashiiashi3894 Don't be an idiot. I just don't have a lot of patience for games that run badly.
@@subarashiiashi3894 Like, if my computer can run the sims 3 and the sims 4 just fine, but it struggles to run the sims 2, it's not the computers problem, is it?
@@morgantrias3103 That's interesting. What are your specs?
how the hell can they do all this in 2004 but in 2020 they can’t even make babies not objects?
They are not the same programers
They can, but just don’t want to. Their current goal is to get as much money as possible with little amount of work to do.
@@Alizeiii I don't thinks so, they get more money with the expansions
Sims 4 is from 2014 lol
@@bibule we know that, but in 2020, babies are still objects lol
Basically, back when the creators have real passion for creation instead of money
I wish the new creators respected Will Wright. I don't think he likes TS4 direction.
Probably also more time
Yeah, this shit is getting more common in the gaming industry. It is depressing...
@@ness7342 Sims 2 was...extremely buggy? I have to be honest, I've never heard of that complain before.
@@RexPhalange mine worked great even with some mods.
Another thing: in Sims 2 they actually had to buy the clothes first and not just randomly had them. I know it’s kinda bothering to go buy them, but it makes everything much more realistic. But what i definitely miss from Sims 3 is that you could zoom out of them map and could just go everywhere without a loading screen🙄
I loved this, even though I played the sims 2 for years I didn’t notice some of them. You might have missed a few, I don’t know if they occur in 3 or 4: - Lazy/untidy sims will sometimes fart when they’re alone, proceed to sniff the air and chuckle - they will also eat in a more illmannered way, for example when they’re eating cereal, they will chew with their mouth open and spill the milk - in the Four seasons extension, sims who walk in the snow without warm winterclothes might freeze solid, fall over and remain there until somebody eventually comes around and heats them up with a hair dryer. They will be fine but keep a very pale skin color for a while after this - there’s one item of decor, a plastic flamingo, which a sim can kick over in order to offend the house owner. They will acknowledge this and be mad. I loved these details, do they exist in the following games as well?
the only one i can think of is the flamingo one in the sims 3
The Sims 2 was so incredibly detailed, it's actually amazing. we could only dream about kids greeting their parents when they come home in The Sims 4. and couples cuddling in bed was so cute!
i also miss babies you could actually interact with, the changing table, kids throwing a tantrum and shaking the bars of their crib, robbers, police the sims 4 could be so much better if they put a little more time into it
I waited until December 2018 to get the Sims 4. I didn’t know until this week that toddlers didn’t come with the base game! That was off-topic. My actual comment is that my child Sims in my first Sims 4 household greeted their parents. It must have been a glitch bc it hasn’t happened in any other household, and this video says it isn’t in Sims 4. So much disappointment 😞
I remember the cuddle interaction in Sims 3 though
It may surprise you, but in the sims 4 Cats greet their guardians when they come back from work (if they have a good relationship), (and I think i saw childrens doing it too, but i can't remember it very well)
I wonder if it's because EA has just stopped caring about the little things.
Cuz they already rich lol
They redirected their attention away from details and towards bigger features. Depending on who you are, that’s either an improvement or it’s really disappointing. I personally don’t care
If you say the word "Fun details" to an EA executive, they think of large set pieces with elaborate animations, like a sim getting comically crushed by a murphy bed. In reality, it is these little "blink and you miss it" animation details that sims with different personalities have when doing relatively mundane things. I'd much rather have the latter than the former.
It's EA (Electronic Assholes) they just half ass it... it's definitely shown in Sims 4
They care about the big thing now. Money. Lol
Also keep in mind that The Sims 2 was going to be even better and more detailed. There was a fire in the office and a lot of data was lost. What we ended up getting is a slightly downgraded version. And it's still this good.
Really?!
@@cm69420 yes
the fire rumor is fake, they had to change/remove features since it was the early 2000s and most didnt have very good computerrs
I think almost no one had a good enough computer. The game ran very slowly. Even now my computer does not find the sims 2 easy to run. I hated the Sims 2 when it came out. Only 15 years on can I play it at a reasonable speed without being a millionaire with a supercomputer.
@morgantrias3103 then you might want to see if you filled your pc with junk?.. Because I had a basic ass 2013 laptop with 4GB RAM and could run Sims 3 with a bunch of expansions pretty decently. If that’s not enough… I could even run sims 3 on my mom’s 2000 brick-like laptop, albeit it would crash. You should be able to run Sims 2 well enough, unless you’ve done something to your PC (viruses, disk is full, you run a bunch of apps at the same time etc…)
Loved the personalities in Sims 2 and chemistry! No other Sims game even comes close to replicating these factors
If a sim died, his/her closest friends and relatives would inherit money.
Wait... That does not happen in Sims 4?
@@Seff2 no death seems bugged in sims4. Sometimes you don't even get the sims urn. There's no graveyard or anything. The house goes up for sale etc.
You can use they.
Diestro Passive Why does that even matter?
@Cloudiily it is??
Let’s admit it, sims 2 is the most ‘realistic’ sims
Yup
Smooshy Smoosh more than sims3?
Silly and fun too..sims 4 is just silly not fun 😒
@@patatajabi i find the sims 4 expressions and animations to be pretty cringe tbh. its so over the top and lacking in subtlety that its not funny, just lazy.
Sims in TS2 have so much more emotions and personality than in TS4 tbh
Even Sims in TS2 have more emotions than TS4 with its emotions system XD
If Sims 4's graphics and Sims 2's details come together, we'll be living real life in Sims.
Things I like ab sims 2: gameplay. Drama. A more “alive” world Things I like about sims 4: uh,,,, create a sim? That’s all I play with honestly.
Strawberry Jam sameee, I only use cas but without cc base game clothing is awful!
And it’s current build mode, but nothing more sadly
If it weren’t for the mods, I wouldn’t be playing the sims 4.
Same, I basically only play Sims 4 to create sims these days and when I do play the game, it's usually to test out a new or updated mod. Seriously, if it weren't for CC creators and CAS, Sims 4 would be unplayable.
i only play the sims 4 to make ugly sims and have them woohoo with everyone in the game
one thing i remembered: when two sims make out in public, a random old lady would come up to them and scold them lol
monique 😭
Ahh, Mrs. CrumpleBottom. I kinda miss her.
YEAAHH
Still exists but old lady aren’t speaking, scolding them just in her mind
YES THIS ALWAYS HAPPENED LMAO
I always felt like Sims 4 was weird, kinda robotic, I dunno, I couldn't put a finger on what was missing. I'm starting to understand now.
the sims 2 was a masterpiece, simple as
The Sims 4: We created this emotions system to make your sims act more realistic! The Sims 2: Hold my floppy pizza. edit: never had more than like 50 likes and here I have 3k??? thank you guys.

Alternative title: Why The Sims 2 is the best Sims game ever made.
Ikr ! ❤ best one of the saga
*hides Sims 2 Logic Video* Yea! This is a joke but I don’t know much about other sims games other than the Sims 4
Yeah, that's totally right. I've played sims 3 and 4 in the past, but eventually turned back to sims 2 and still playing it
Stasia Wright same
Give me Sims 2 level detail with Sims 3 customizability, with Sims 4 graphics and my Sims 5 wish is complete
Does anyone remember when toddlers would play with the dollhouse in the sims 2, and they'd put the dolls in their mouths and when you click on something else as the toddler(with the doll in their mouth) the doll's head would be sticking out of the toddler's mouth?
2:36 NOW THIS IS REALISTIC LMAOOO
This just proves how unfinished TS4 is, almost 6 years into its life.
Jeiku Furame it’s not unfinished they just don’t care
@@terrellnance6086 That's not true. They do care! About money. Not the consumers, of course. LOL. I hope EA dies soon and somebody decent takes over all of their games.
aruth We all dream if the day the EA giant falls... They’ll probably remain dreams for s very long time, unfortunately.
Terrell Nance it actually is unfinished... look up “Sims 4 Olympus” .. it was supposed to be an online game first but was abruptly scrapped and so the game we have now is the (especially when it was released in 2014) unfinished online version. Sad.
Preach hun preach. I was absolutely stunned to see the tiniest but amazing details that were left out of TS4. I've heard many say that sims 2 was outstanding but I didn't take them on. Guess I see why they said this now.
You forgot details like : - In sims 2 every sim carries dominant genes (the one they show), and recessive genes (that are not visible, but it's possible for them to appear in later generation). -Shy Sims sometimes wring their hands and look anxious. They are fearful about diving into pools and will often back off the diving board after getting on it. Also when being admired, a shy sim will act very timid. - On the other hand outgoing sim while being admired Will act confident -sloppy Sims eat messily, and they flatulate more often. -A sim who grew up well will live longer than a sim who grow up badly. -A Romance Sim instructed to do a "Romantic" social on another Sim will do the swag walk as he/she walks over to him/her.
Thanks for the comment! Never knew some of these
Oh yes, the beloved swag walk, LOL. What's impressive is that the Sims 2 team even went through the effort of creating a different flirty walk style for males and females, and they walk down the stairs as if they're happy too.
driving into a pool lol, I had to stop and reread it
potts995 In TS4 female and male sims act differently from each other when flirty, but personally I would like if we could choose the sims’ body language (like we can choose their walk style) so that it’s not dependent on their sex.
Ah yes, the SwAgGeR
Been replaying Sims 2 and it's always so much fun. Especially running a home business, so darn addictive. The pizza flopping is legendary 😁
I've got the complete Sims 2 collection and I absolutely love it. Best Sims ever made in my view.👌🏼
beate te io lo avuto solo alla play
Little details like these can be easily overlooked, but in hindsight, they're the one that makes the most impression to everyone. It makes the game grounded and real, even with all it's limitations. And, omg, so many of them are just very heartwarming. Gotta love the child-parent interactions 💚 Kudos for finding these little details (I'm sure there are more!) and reminded me how awesome this game is 👍
I really hope it’s implemented in sims 5
I used to find it interesting that sims in TS2 could build up knowledge regarding different topics, and that the knowledge would depend on how much time spent on it. It was also kinda sweet that they (after the hobby-pack) would pick a favourite hobby, and be inclined to spend time on it automatically. Not like the generic “I like art, so I’ll just write, paint and play music altogether” that we’ve had in TS3 and TS4. To me it also seemed like they built up knowledge regarding their favourite hobby a tad faster than other topics. It definitely made the sims more diverse and unique, although it always bugged me that their hobbies seemed to be chosen randomly
Brandi LeTourneu became one of my favorite sims when she came to visit my sim who was a widower with 3 small children.She had visited a few times and had played with the kids a bit and was friendly with them,the kids went to bed adults were watching t.v. Brandi gets up, I thought to go to bathroom but watched she went into kids room and tucked them in one by one on her own as I wasn't controlling her as she was a guest! I was amazed and from then on she has been a main member in every game I've had since.
I cant agree more.
What about when the sim uses the telescope during the day and then the neighbor comes to yell at them because they got caught spying!
Some people stated that they can do that as well in Sims 3. That's why I didn't include it
@Drain Cleaner i hope so! I havent seen it! Hmm i need to use the one in sims 4 more but it is just so huge ugh
I've never seen that omg
🤣 I remember that! It was hilarious
And the funniest thing is that the neighbour always has a telescope too, and consequently we could deduce that the neighbour had caught our sim spying him actually doing the same!!! XD
These were the little details that made me fall in love with the sims, it’s a shame they weren’t passed down to the sims 3 and 4.
3:00 It's also a really neat detail how cheaper cars tend to be lighter and have more lax springs. Which makes them rock a lot more.
Sims 2 was technically the first "serious" Sims Game, since Sims 1 was too limited and pretty much was comedic more than life simulation, they needed to get people, today they're lazy af cuz' they already have people that buys everything they made even if good or not.
The sims is a spin off from the SimCity but their relevancy overshadowed the main games.
Achmad Putra they're just straight up lazy... they had the animation from the previous games, why not re-used them ? It doesn't matter who made the game, if you put your heart and soul into it, i'm sure it'll be a good game. Instead, sims 4 just releasing a quick cashgrab they called "Stuff Pack". Sorry for my rant :)
To be fair TS1 was more limited by the times and the fact that it was the first game of its kind. While it is goofy it had some touches that were more realistic than TS2. Light bulbs could go out and you had to change them; bills were higher if you left the TV on, you had to water indoor plants, etc.
@Achmad Putra sure they have limited time and resources but most of them didin't even play previous sims games. They comfired it on many lives. They don't know the lore of the sims that's why ts4 is so boring and flat
Achmad Putra it seems that you didn't get my point there bucko... I've played all of the sims games for PC, even the spin off and Most people agree that sims 3 is WAY *better* than the sims 4. It had more content and story than sims 4. I'm sorry if you didn't get to enjoy the sims 3.
Okay but imagine a Sims 2 with the graphics of Sims 4. That would be what Sims 4 should have been
i wish the new sims will be like that. but with overwatch graphics lol
Yes, smarter Sims, right?
@@nijikos A sims game with overwatch graphics would look so pretty
Actaully, there are some people on tumblr thattook model out of the game and just smoothed them so they look not as janky anymore. And to everyones surprise, the models actually look better than Sims 3 and like a just slightly more realistic style than 4. So uuhh... a complete remaster of Sims 2 could be exactly that.
Focusing on the graphics is the whole reason The Sims 4 is bad. That's the only thing EA did right. And they forgot about everything else that makes The Sims 2 great such as the AI. In The Sims 4 everything seams broken. Sims show up wearing random outfits and not the ones you planned out. When you're trying to have a serious moment there is someone doing push-ups. -This isn't your fault. Obviously I'm blaming the creators.
In sims 3 and 4, ou learn of events via a popup notification. In sims 2, you *see* it happening, and it had a feeling of intimacy and realism that doesn’t compare. You felt like you managed to witness something really cool, and it meant there were always little details like this to discover. You didn’t get a popup saying the kid went well in school, you would see them excited about it and showing their parents. It doesn’t compare.
and that's why the sims 2 will always hold a place in my heart. also, the pack where you go to university freaking ROCKS
“The Sims 2: 50 FUN DETAILS not in The Sims 3 or Sims 4” Oh so you mean the entire gameplay
the sims 3 is my favorite because of the gameplay
@@kits6369 me too
Tiana me too
OOF but true sadly
@Maliha Rahman I think sims 3 also have that detail. Idk about sims 4 though, it's a money maker machine not a game most of us loved anymore.
I've got another one: If a Sims is sleeping in a bed and another Sims is using a telephone right next to the sleeping Sims, the sleeping Sims will sit up in the bed and get anoyed at the other sims.
Also you need to buy your own clothes! Sims 3 and 4 you already got everything. So I feel like working and getting money a bit more useless.
I had a sim walking in while the other was sleeping. He always did gun finger at her which makes she got up and annoyed as hell.
The same with computer game in the same room. Sleeping sim can't sleep anymore
Same when there are stereos on
same as any noise and in any series - you can't have a computer and play games if you share room with someone
This game is so incredible! Yes it's older, and some aspects aren't as great such as CAS and Buildmode, but the gameplay itself is so detailed, I love it! We need these things in the sims 5!!
As someone who has mostly played the Sims 2 (and still does haha), I'm honestly surprised that these features aren't in the later games
the sims 2 with the sims 1 music, sims 3 content and sims 4 character customisation and you got yourself the perfect sims game.
agreed!
I prefered the sims 3 aim customization over 4s. You had A LOT more room with it
Send this to EA!!
Yes, The Sims 1 building mode songs are still in my head.
@@tabbylynn8191 Someone posted the entire TS1 soundtrack on youtube, and it's my go to study music. It's perfect!

I actually remember being so disappointed when that didn't happen(Sims 4) when my simmers got married and stuff, there was just something so off about it!
My favorite is the baby! The plumbob animation is the cutiest
I've ALWAYS loved sims 2 more for many of these reasons! I tried going back to it after playing 4, unfortunately, I couldn't get over the difference in graphic quality. If only sims4 would add these details!!!!
I'm surprised you say that because I honestly can't tell the difference. When I see footage of sims 2,3 or 4 I need to look for specific items I know don't exist in each game to tell which one it is. Or look at the sim's faces because the style is different. The improvement in each game is only marginal.
People find the controlled sim's moving heads following the mouse on the center of the pie menus and briefly looking up at their God and reacts to their divine decisions is creepy but I found it charming! There should be options to turn on or off the fourth wall breaking.
sims 2 actually felt like life. the little animations of parents tucking in their kids and giving them kisses made the families feel more realistic. the sims three kids just felt like little burdens even with good relationships it just doesnt feel like the parents and kids have a bond
And in sims 4 the parents and kids are basically strangers with such a low relationship by the time the kid grows up to be a young adult.
@@sweetpjeb23 parenthood?
Sims 2 can feel who is the most attractive sim for him or her.. I miss that, also the memory system
Oh I miss that to so much. Alot of these little things I didn't notice were removed but I kept searching for their memory for days when getting the new sims. How could they remove that. I like looking at all their memorys. First kiss, first woohoo, child...
I miss the memories too. It was handy when coming back to sims that I haven't played for a while.
I added the attraction system with wickedwhims i think, the slice of life mod adds a sort of memory system, pair it with meaningful stories mod and it gets a little better. but it's still no where neeeear as fun as sims 2. modders out there are doing gods work to improve the sims 4 lol
I would also recommend the slice of life mod, but for sure it can't replace all those little details from sims 2
i remember use to have to buy groceries for your fridge, and also being able to go "shop" for clothes
5:48 Did you notice that TS2 has *A LOT MORE POLYGONS* than TS4 in the Chess game?
I have only played The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. I thought The Sims 3 was the greatest thing to ever exist but dang, the detail put into this game is extraordinary. Just the little things are what makes a game feel genuine and authentic. I can't believe The Sims 4 is still being added onto.
The Sims is evolving, just backwards
just fowards and backwards.
Devolving
Lol
@@-CrimsoN- No. Evolving but backwards.
just like EA Games 😍
So, basically it goes like this: Sims 2 was a labor of love and endless exploration of endless animation possibilities. Sims 3 &4 was a labor for money, short-cutting any corner they could and not giving a damn about real life. Sims 1 was a labor of exploration of computer boundaries. It led the path for the sims 2 - the best sims game. Period.
oi piss off sims 3 actually has decent expansions that add a shit ton of stuff and gameplay so its not exactly "cutting any corners". its sims 4 being a total cash grab
@noodluvna Agreed,Sims 4 has no effort in all seriousness.
@@laika9105 thank you! Someone had to make that comment. The sims 3 was great. And sims 2 is pretty darn great as well.
@@EmoPrincesses9000 Well, I apologize for my understatement regarding sims 3. It;s just my humble opinion. If you think that sims 3 was great too, then hooray! But for me personally the sims 2 is the only sims that holds truly in my heart as the best sims game of all time
The sims 2 will always be amazing, The sims 3 and 4 were such disappointments 😭
what i love about sims 2 is how ahead of its time it was, and how much love you can tell was put into it
3:27 In sims 3, children and teenagers can also have nightmares. If you click the "dream about..." interaction while they're sleeping , there's a chance that the dream turns into a nightmare. Idk if that counts but here you go
After watching this I don’t feel like playing my sims 4 anymore 🙄 I didn’t even realize how much more boring it is
Try 2, if you want something a little bit similar get 3
LordLenni I wish I could but I can’t find 2 anywhere :( do they still sell it?
@@gtfo3609 if youre talking physical discs then they're going to be hard to find, it's better off paying 6 dollars on ebay for a digital copy of the game :D happy simming
@@grumpy_frog yeah, I found out if you become a default sim you can actually see their family tree in sims 3 :0
same i dont play the sims 4 anymore cause im not enjoying it. I have the sims 2 as a disc that my cousin gave me and i havent played it. Im thinking of playing it right now!
i remember that the people my sim hated would come over at night and knock over their bin and sometimes they’d steal your newspaper in the morning
sam o-o or the flaming poo!!! Ugh i miss it
How I miss private schools and the fact you had social workers coming home to take your children
Lol at the caption when the kid got good grades, her dad was like lazing around and "talk to me when you become neurosurgeon." HAHAHAHAHA
I also remember Sims being able to have unrequited crushes. In Sims 4 crushes are always mutual... not realistic.
oh yeah, I forgot about that! also it's hard to seduce certain people in Sims 2,in Sims 4 you can break up every couple if you try hard enough
Yaeh, you're right. One Sim could love another sim, but not vice versa. That made interesting constellations.. Forgot about that, thank you.
Yep and sometimes Sims left other Sims at the altar. They got all nervous and made a run for it - and everyone at the wedding then had a negative buff for the person who ran.
@@the-real-franz-kafka TS2 servo also can eating and drink but TS4 the bot is very unrealistic cannot consume anything
Yeah I kinda hate/love that cause there were times I really wanted them to hook up and the other didn't like my sim or something
One little thing you missed: In The Sims 2 the Grandfather clock it's actually functional. if it is kept wound, it will show the current time on the lot, and will chime every 6 hours. The chimes will wake any Sims who are sleeping in the same room as the clock. The clock is fully wound when bought, and will run down 72 game hours after being bought or wound. If it is allowed to run down, it will start again as soon as it is wound. Sims may wind the clock autonomously, but will usually need to be directed to wind it by the player.
all the analogic clocks in the sims 1/2 are functional not just the grandfather clock... only the digital ones don't work....... analogic clocks also work on the sims 3 (but not all of then)
Yeash!! I want to have back the functional Grandfather clock in sims 4! I miss it xD
Also, there's an option to maintain it, but if the sim has low mechanical skill it will break!!!
@@gabrielandy9272 Actually, this is one thing that Sims3 did better than Sims2. In Sims2 only the minute hand moves correctly, as the hour hand is set on the number, making a fairly odd transition between a minute to, o'clock, and a minute past... In Sims3 though, both hands move correctly...
Also the longer you keep the grandfather clock alive, the more money it will cost to resell it over time!
Love the breaking of the third wall. Reminds me of the sims 2 on PSP which was such a fun and underrated game…that centers around the feeling that the sims are being controlled by some “outside force” 👀
The Sims 2 is my favorite The Sims so far because of the memories I had playing with it during my elementary school years and all the little details Abi mentioned here! I remember recording my sims cooking and learning stuff because it's just satisfying to watch lol.
Imagine the combination of details in sims 2, open world mode in sims 3, and graphics in sims 4. Would be great I think..
I would give ea my money without thinkingb
lets hope for sims 5...
That will be *AMAZING*
That’s the ultimate sims game
most of the computers could never run it
You missed one detail: If someone eats burnt food,unlike the future sequels,the Sim will actually show disgust and their bladder will drop slightly
Rob TZ and they can get food poisoning
I think in S3 its also like that.
They act disgusted in Sims 4 as well. Not sure about the bladder though.
@@pomeranianproductions647 Yea it's definitely in S3.
Was it in the future games? This is the best thing. I feel like they would just eat it anyways in like the Sims 3, no reaction
Whoever did the animation and story/character concepts for TS2 was amazing the whole team were amazing, the memories and small life like details made this game really come alive
Let’s just hope sims 5 will actually be good
Sims 2 were the ugliest sims ever but they have the liveliest world can u imagine sims 2 gameplay, sims 3 open world and pack ideas and sims 4 graphics?
I'm thinking that's the magic formula to an awesome life simulation game. Now, who will deliver?
I honestly like look of the sims in sims 2 than the sims 3 better, but yea the graphics are tragic compared to the standard now
Scorpion Of Mars I have high hopes for paralives
@@jess3007 "open world sucks because I cannot afford a semi-decent computer". Saying something sucks because your computer cannot handle it, is just plain ignorant. You don't need an expensive computer to run TS3, just a decent one that meets the specs.
@@AudreyLudlow I played sims 3 in such a shitty pc, but still worked tbh
Dogs can watch TV, Sing while a sim is playing the piano, beg for food from a sim eating at the table, & sleep/watch on the bay windows.
If you have a bird or rodent, cats will make that little chirping meow at it. "'eow, e-e-eow!" You know, that one real cats like to do at windows.
dogs can do all of that still in ts3 and 4 i believe. well, at least in ts3 when you could control them that was an option
In TS4, pets with the vocal trait will “sing” along when a sim plays an instrument. ☺️
6:36 “talk to me once you’ve become a neurosurgeon” when i tell you i cackled 💀💀💀🤚
Thank you very much you made me start playing Sims 2 and I am having so much fun, more than I had in the Sims 4!
I remember when my business CEO Sim would come home from his work in the helicopter and the whole family would run outside to wave and greet him at his landing. God I loved Sims 2.
Just in general I loved that the cars that picked the Sims up to go to work changed with each promotion
@@RebeccaStreubel I miss these things so much! Sims 4 was a regression in so many ways.
Sims 4 was just a money grab on us die hard sims fans
Wtf that sounds so fun i wish sims 4 was like that
The fact that the sims 2 is more advanced than the sims 4 actually blows my mind :)
Sims 2: the most complete in real interactions. Sims 3: the most complete in designs options. Sims: 4.
Sims 3 is the most complete in real interactions, Sims 2 is the most complete in details
The Sims 4 is the most complete in construction options
The one good thing about sims 4 is cas, that’s the ONLY thing
sims 5: the most complete loot boxes
Don’t forget Sims 3’s open world
9:08 Funny, that punch U punch me is also in sims 2 pets.
omg i love your energy, you're genuinely hilarious
Oh yes, and when a sim is leaving for work and passing through the room with other family members, he or she says goodbye to them while passing by them!
That's from Sims1
الإسلام هو تحفة الشيطان Never happened in The Sims 1, happened several times in The Sims 2. The Sims 1 wasn't advanced enough to program this in.
I remember. I always thought this was so sweet of them. 🥺
What I also like is that when a sim is pregnant, she can't clean the cat litter. Which is very realistic, because of toxoplasmosis
Yessss :D But Sims 3 also has that^^
I don't own ts4 cats & dogs, is that not a thing in ts4?
I had no idea of this, now I wanna hop into my game and see if its true xD
Maxis did their research for Sims 2. If I remember right, because I rarely use hot tubs when I play Sims 2, pregnant sims can't get into hot tubs, either. It really was the best game in the series in terms of content and details. It kind of went downhill from there, unfortunately. Animations and details became boring and cheap, as if EA doesn't have the money to do it well or something, which we know is a huge lie/excuse; they make plenty of money to have, let's say, an animation for kids to be able to use bikes, but Sims 4 bikes don't work for kids without a mod.
@Anna333 I actually like Sims 3 now. I was disappointed when I got it, because I missed a lot of Sims 2. Sims 2 was such a genius game. But I play sims 3 now. It has some good features too. I love the color tool. In Sims 2 I was always upset when furniture didn't fit XD Sims 3 has some details that Sims 2 hasn't. But yeah... SIms 2 had the most details and it was just made with love.. Sims 3 is very lazy in many points, especially when it comes to things that appear out of nowhere. The Sims of Sims 2 had to go and get it by themselves. It was more realistic.
6:12 to be fair this one is just bad plumbing. I thought it was normal as a kid though. Good video.
I love seeing videos like this because you can see they have adapted some of the things in new packs
When sims actually had to buy clothes and groceries! Definitely make a part 2!
I was going to comment this and the option to try things on! and going to the night club and the intention to scan the room to see who my sim thought was attractive! I miss that stuff
And the sims could woohoo in the dressing rooms
The Sims 3 has that too
Yes!!
Things to put in ts4: EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO
Even sims breaking the forth wall and staring into our souls?
@@cherryberry9023 Yes! That as well... Makes me feel like they are talking directly to their god...
@@cherryberry9023 Yes!!
Tiia Sjoman Fair enough
the small scenes the sims 2 had for the important moments in life like moving to college or the first woo-hoo is something that i always wondered why wasn't on the 3 and 4
