I've been a Sims 2 player since it was released and still love it as much, if not more to this day! I love building and decorating so expect to see lots of speed builds here. I also love playing my ongoing neighbourhood Brightmaple which has been going strong since 2017 - most of the builds you see here will be intended for that neighbourhood. I hope you enjoy the channel!

Lol how do you have the self control to not use cheats for more money, I always do !!
I sort of do, but I treat it like an interest free loan that they have to pay back! I write it down in my gameplay notes and I pay it back by deleting items with testing cheats ;) So I get to build the house I wanna build, but they still have to pay for it!
Looks so cool! I gotta get me some of those funky modern windows lol
I love your builds.
I did a roller disco rink back when I did a decades build series. This is way better than mine, though! With more dynamic exteriors and flashy decors
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the lighting for this one.
Perfect treat for my Friday after work 🥂 have you changed your road defaults recently or have I just not noticed those before? They're rather nice? Now I'll watch the rest of the video and pepper you with more questions later lol *Later* it looks so gooood!! I think Ive just about given up ever having a Downloads folder as pretty as yours haha. Really enjoyed the wardrobe that was really nicely done. Also the amount of kids toys you have in your game 🤯🤯 so many!! How is your DLs folder not full?? Modern is not usually my thing either but I do enjoy dabbling in it from time to time for a nice change 😊
Those are Wendigo’s roads! I switched them out last summer so not super recently. I actually just found a version that will work for my downtown too so I’ll probably swap those also (the original version was made to work only with their lush terrain which I also switched to). I love having the kids stuff haha I have two collection folders too, one for kids deco and one for kids functional, cause I kept getting confused which was which 😅
Modern is not my style but I do like how you made it so cool🎉
It’s not usually mine either (and in real life not at all!) but it was fun to try something a little different as it suited the household!
Hey ! How can I download this?
@@katlyniveiga5071 it’s not available for download sorry ☺️
I grabbed some of those traits. I'm gonna make a hood for my discord of about 20 people and see where it goes. Keeping it "in house." Those traits combined with the native TS2 stuff will be a great help!
@@MaxAngor have fun with it!
@@88kayleigh Thanks! I've got a blind guy in my server so I've got to really keep the words up as well as the pictures. Now I haven't grabbed any of the mods that DO anything with the traits. I'm just using the traits themselves as guidelines when the wants system gets boring. I saw all those conflicts and went "yeah, no."
@@MaxAngor i haven't had too much bad luck with conflicts in the traits mods, since i think most are made with each other in mind! i do have some traits that have no mods associated yet which i don't mind, but i do enjoy it changing their behaviours sometimes when the mods kick in!
@@88kayleigh Well... Maybe I WILL give them a shot.
@@MaxAngor you never know, you might like them 😄
This video is sooo relaxing 🥰
Thank you, that’s what I aim for!
I watch your videos with interest and I think you can help me? My first problem is this: I only have 4.04 GB CC. I did many things like 4GB Patch a long time ago. I also allowed the game to use more RAM. But after the CCs that I recently installed that were only 47.4 MB, I started to experience the pink glow problem... It started especially in the house where there were a lot of items and the plant man... However, after this problem occurred, it continued if I entered other houses. It happened even if I closed and opened the game. I didn't play for a long time, but I often entered the house and went to the city screen... I always do this, it has never happened before. Could it be a CC? Do CCs cause the pink glow? Or is it due to the increase in My Documents folder and my CCs increasing in general as I play? My other problem is this: No matter what I do, in some areas, the counters do not become corners. The counter corners meet in a random different part of the house.. However, it does not happen in some areas... It does not make any difference whether the counter is normal or CC, half wall or normal wall. Could a CC be causing this? It used to break down before, but it would fix itself when I held the counters on the left and right again. I tried it in another city. It's fine. I think it's specific to Riverblossom Hills. What do you suggest for me in these matters?
Every computer set up will handle the game differently, the more CC the more likely pink flashing is but the threshold is different for everyone. Try turning hood deco and neighbours off in the graphics settings when loading between lots, and if you turn them back on while playing make the view distance small. Those things help sometimes. The counter corner thing usually happens when you place deco objects there sometimes I think? Just a weird glitch. I turn on move objects and just place another counter overtop to fill the gap!
@@88kayleigh Crashes occurred after CCs like "Sun&Moon Barnyard Bash, mushrooms, grapes, wild berry bushes", but not so much in lots where they were not used. But the pink flashing is new. And the corners of the counters merging or not merging in a random area is also new. I did not place any decorative objects. I didn't actually put anything on it and I didn't use the CC bench either. Twice, counters did not merge with the same fixed areas. Once, the counter did not merge in a different area. This could be a corner of the living room or the middle of the kitchen. But I had downloaded the invisible small counter, to make extra space, I thought this could do it. I played an older version that didn't have this problem, but had a folder in the download. Of course, after deleting this folder. But it happened again , this time at different points.
The definition of talent😍 this is exactly what I want to do in my sims game, renovate everything completely with 4t2 cc for that sleek modern look😍🥰
Great build as always, I've been binge-watching your videos - hoping it'll make me better at floor planning! 😅
Thank you so much! I definitely have and will continue to rely a ton on floorplans I find online, I'd recommend that! The muse was just with me when I built this one without a reference, but also a practice makes perfect kind of thing. :)
Really love the Mediterranean style that you used to build this restaurant! So cozy and lively!
Having a huge nightclub with a complex layout and interesting exterior is very impressive! I see you really utilize the Sims 4 to Sims 2 conversions to the fullest haha.
Yes I do really enjoy them, they add a lot of new goodies to the game! And I find most mixes well with original TS2 content and cc created specifically for TS2 if it's maxis match. Love to have a lot of options!
Amazing as always! Super fun that this sim has had another speed build done for her lol, its fun following her housing journey 😆 As always, I have come away with a new list of cc to try and squeeze into my game, lol. I loved the wallpaper in the living room on the wall with the windows, that looked very cool! And the daughters room, I would have died for a room like that when I was 8 😆😍 so awesome. Thankyou for sharing the build, can't wait for the other 7 to come lol
I had so much fun with Mickey's room! I only wish I could have put her womrat (Pigbert) in her bedroom. I tried to in their old place but he woke her up. Debated giving her the heavy sleeper trait lol but she's got a pretty clear personality and all her trait slots are spoken for. I'm 95% sure that wallpaper was these ones in case you were looking! www.tumblr.com/twentyfourfirst-sims/761789308445294592/motif-volume1-volume2?source=share
Ahh I love Japanese houses so much and it looks great!
How do you deal with pink flashing in your game, your lots are so detailed with so much cc but your game seems to run so nice. I can't get my sims 2 to run for 20 minutes without pink flashing. i have the 4gb patch and stuff but it's still happening, do you have any advice?
I usually play with view distance small and I turn hood deco and neighbours off when I’m loading between lots, it seems to help! I turn the view distance up if I need more visibility in a screen shot. But I do still get my fair share of pink flashing, if you play with cc I think it’s somewhat unavoidable!
I wish this place was real in my real life. It´s amazing!
@@marthahouston5946 thanks, it’s a really fun lot for my sims at least!
Damn it actually feels so open worldly.
This is sims 3 not sims 2.. there is no packs for this houses designs in the sims 2
This is the Sims 2 :) I use custom content.
Hello! Love this build. May I ask where the bathroom tiles you use at 16:27 are from? (if you know!) cheers
Hi! Those are from here: tombstoneoflifeanddeath.tumblr.com/day/2015/09/23/
@88kayleigh thanks so much ✨ look forward to more speed builds!
This is amazing OMG !!!
I'm not sure how long I played wants based, but I got sick of it pretty quickly when I started to notice the patterns in the wants. The way I play mostly is more "lifetime want" based, but I stray away from it if I want to. I will be working towards their lifetime want if their normal wants they have at that moment are dumb. But if the lifetime want is something stupid like 50 first dates I just ignore it. I actually like randomizing their aspiration when they turn into teens just because I end up with more unique sims that I have to figure out how to play. Super grouchy and shy? Tough shit, that's what the dice decided. Lazy fortune sim? Good luck with that. I also don't have ACR so I roll 2 d6 whenever my sims Woohoo, and if it lands on 10-12, it has to be a try for baby. I do this so there's some risk but it's still only a small chance. I have a balance of planned and unplanned kids in my game that way.
I don't personally use any kind of calculator or "system" for assigning aspirations. I used to, but it got repetitive when all of my Libras ended up Romance and all of my Pisces ended up Knowledge (for example). Now I decide based off their Sims 2 personality and 3t2 traits. It means two sims with the same zodiac may be totally different, even if their personalities seem pretty similar on the surface. It does usually end up that the zodiacs have the same aspiration anyway, but at that point it just feels more genuine and not like I'm forcing the personality.
That's why I stopped using the zodiac system, I find the calculator (especially with alternate reads of aspirations) gives me a good variety of aspirations even for otherwise similar personalities. And I try to really mix together the primary and secondary in unique ways - so huge family aspiration on its own might seem pretty straightforward, but if their secondary is serial romancer? Maybe they just want lots of kids but don't care much about having the happy family and single spouse! Or serial romancer and shady fortune might just try to make a living off of date gifts. That shakes it up nicely for me!
I think this is a lot closer to my current style. I don't want to completely ignore wants, but I no longer let them rule my gameplay either. These gameplay style videos that have been popping up have been so fun to watch! I love seeing everyone's styles, it's super inspiring!
Hey! I love your channel! I didn't know where else to contact you so I'm trying here. I downloaded your 4t2 T.I.M.B.E.R. Buffet table as it is one of my favorite items from sims 4, and it conflicts with one of my custom foods for some reason? I would delete the custom food but I found out that deleting custom food is tricky. Is it possible to fix this somehow?
@@helenemy95 hi, I have no idea how it would conflict? What food item is it? And what issues does it cause?
@@88kayleigh It's the egg tarts from Chinese Cuisine on The Sims Resource. When the food loads last, the table won't show up when I try to place it in game. And when the table loads last it shows up, but I get an error when a sim tries to take the food out of the fridge.
@@helenemy95 thanks for letting me know, it was a rare GUID conflict! I've updated my files so you can let them overwrite the old ones (make sure you replace all recolours as well as the mesh). www.tumblr.com/kayleigh-83/764557655826120704/kayleigh-83-another-few-4t2-conversions-for?source=share
@@88kayleigh wow thank you so much!
This is brilliant, thank you for making this video! I foresee I'll get largely inspired by it when I pick up TS2 again <3
Merci pour le texte traduit en francais 🥰😍🤩
I actually think mean/shy popularity/romance/family sims could be interesting. So can lazy fortune/knowledge sims. Having a personality that conflicts with your goals is an interesting challenge to overcome in life, and I generally think some of your sims not being naturally set up for success (or just not ending up successful in life) allows you to explore all the fail-state scenarios of the game.
THANKS FOR MAKE SIMS 2 VIDEOS LOVE U
I've played similar for a while but ive always struggled to go past 1 generation, but i think the calculator might be a solution for the disconnect i was feeling :oo ty
Thanks for the video! I was feeling a bit burned out from SIms 2, both on mods and CC I was using. But discovering Nadya's and yours channels and videos got me into a lot of thinking. My burnout actually sparked my creativity and joy to create systems at Sims 4, also based on calculations and character buildings. There are great mod creators on that community too, but I really wanted to avoid them and play somewhat vanilla. So from your video I got very cool references to improve my TS4 playstyle, but also remided me all the joy I have originally with TS2, so I am considering returning :D Thank you for that! Good luck with the channel!
would u consider uploading just the hood for download? no lots, just the hood terrain and hood deco
I wouldn't even know how to do it, and honestly I'm not sure I do want to share it, sorry!
Thanks for making this video, it really sums up a lot of my thoughts on how my gameplay has evolved over the years. I always found the strict wants play too restrictive for my tastes but I did take parts of it on board as way to realize I don’t need to make all my sims overachievers who max their careers, skills and get perfect grades. I still prefer to choose aspirations without a calculator as I like having odd combinations, I figure an outgoing knowledge sim is eager to share their knowledge with others, a shy popularity sim might want to have a lot of friends but do things one on one or just to be recognized for the awesome stuff they do. One of things I like to do is Taylor each living space to the particular sim including their interests and finances. If a sim has good taste but less money they might have fewer items in their home but it’s all high quality, other sims might have a plethora of inexpensive items and a more cluttered look. I also choose the radio station to suit the sim as it sets the mood when I enter the lot. I love hearing about how others play the game as it adds insight and ideas for my own game play.
I’d love to see a bit of game play after the build to just see the sims enjoying it!
Oh wow, thanks for making this and sharing your insight! I think you hit the nail on the head for a lot of us who focus on the sims as individuals, even if we don't all play exactly the same when it comes to things such as picking aspriations, using traits, taking notes etc. 🥰Loved the way you presented everything too - the footage was stunning, everything had a great flow, and I adored how you had your sim self speak to the camera! And wow that private hood you have looks incredible, you made it so cozy!
Thank you so much, my game is a labour of love and I'm glad it came through in the video too!

@@88kayleigh Those are in simlish, the letters in the video are English which is what I want
@@TMP200000 what time stamp? I’m not sure what ones you mean! I don’t use English language CC in my game, only Simlish, so I can’t find anything in the playback that you might be referring to!
I play my Sims2 much like this but hadn’t flushed it out as much as you did!
I do tend to get a little TOO into it and overthink it a bit XD But that's part of the fun for me!
Thank you very much for making this video! I got major anxiety after quite many people had asked me to share my playing style. Yes, I was ready to share it in the future 100%, but after the number of subs had multiplied by 1,5 (I actually feel like my video got more attention than it should have and now I'm terrified at the thought that I'll fail someone's expectations) I felt like I need to make a video on that asap, but it doesn't really align with my content plan 😂 Now everyone (hopefully) will watch yours and I can lie in peace for a little longer. Your play style is just as good as your builds and the CC you use 😍 I especially like that you even have a name for it, unlike most players (me included). I really like the aspiration calculator you're using, but I guess even 12 aspirations aren't enough for me 😅
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! And thank you for giving me the inspiration to finally put this out in video format, I had put it off for so long! I get that it can be hard to sum it all up and put it into words to tell people about it. I was working up to that for so long, my first outline for this video was written last October! I'd written about it a bit on my Tumblr and talked about it in conversation with people sometimes, but this was the next hurdle. I always give my Sims secondary aspirations, so I guess I consider it way more than 12 choices because of all the possible combinations there, and I consider their aspiration to be kind of the sum total of primary and secondary! Plus I'm also putting thought into different ways to read each of those 12 aspirations themselves - like fortune B (shady) might be into kind of criminal ways of making money, but also might just be extremely bad with money, spending it all on wasteful things and unable to pay bills etc. Or family B might want a ton of kids, or a ton of pets potentially. So many possibilities with this game though, that's for sure!
The reason I like randomizing aspiration is because I feel like aspiration is something that can change in life, esp when you find out that it burns out you. I’m the perfect example of a shy person trying to be a popularity aspiration. And I use the aspiration failure as a reason to put them into a mental institution where they reprogram their aspiration. And again I either play with random and see if the next one is also a flop for them, or calculate it to have found their perfect match. I enjoy lazy sims who hate working becoming a fortune sim, a romance sim who is a failure romantically. I see them as story telling opportunities. Also I added saving big fears in. Like a family sim being terribly afraid that the other sim dies, peeing themselves at a party 😂
this is such an interesting and informative video!! I'm on my 6th rotation of a wonderful custom neighbourhood, Service Area, playing entirely wants based and I'm just now starting to get bored. I feel like I'm ending up with the same kind of sims over and over again. I'm definitely going to try more character based now, especially using the 12 aspirations
Very cool! I'm familiar with Service Area, I watch Sammy Sundog's let's plays of it! I hope this helps shake things up for you and grabs your interest again.
@@88kayleigh Sammy Sundog's videos are what put me onto it! It's an incredible neighbourhood, I think I've probably played it longer than I have any maxis neighbourhoods. The pre-made characters are so interesting, its entirely my fault that I'm getting bored now lol I rely way too much on wants based and it becomes very repetitive
I’ve always considered myself more of a wants-based player but I would also focus a great deal on their underlying personalities to further their stories. Honestly all of the info you shared sounds right up my alley & I can’t wait to look more into the calculators you shared! Thank you so much for this ☺️
Glad you enjoyed! Love watching your Sims 2 streams by the way ☺️ I’m often lurking or catching up on the VODs!
@@88kayleigh aww thank you so much!🥹 I appreciate you!
Ohh, how nicely it would fit in Veronaville, I can imagine 🍕🟩⬜🟥
I was realy getting tired of the want based systewm and was seeing myself manipulating myself in order to follow it. Its rather restricting when you know your knodwelge sims are going to wish for the mathematican subject in college. I think I am going to give this a try. maybe even start a new neighbourhood for that. Thank you so much for this video!
Do it. And if you want something else than your Sims want, remember that you are literally their God and dictator. Your vote counts more than theirs :D So force the knowledge sim into a different path. Hell if I was a sim, I would probably have a knowedege aspiration and I loved math in school and it still tickles something in my brain. Yet I didn't study math because I'm also a lazy fuck and decided to go with English and history.
Wow I feel like you've just described by gameplay style exactly, without me ever putting too much thought into it, explaining it, or writing it down. I agree with everything you've said and play almost exactly the same way, although I use my own aspiration calculator and am currently developing calculators for traits and hobbies, since I also decide traits and hobbies based on various personality factors rather than randomizing. I hate randomizing anything to be honest, and I also hate having to come up with forced storylines, I love letting things flow naturally without being at a completely loose end when that really unhelpful wants panel rolls around so this system is perfect for that. I really like your idea of calculating aspiration as soon as they become toddlers to get more of an idea during childhood, as I always find children the hardest to connect with or see a uniqueness in. I calculate aspiration at every lifestage and change it if I get a different score because I use various mods that allows personality to slightly change (and interests can already change during gameplay, even more so with some mods), such as how well they were trained as toddlers, their school experiences, and the way they were raised as children and teens, so I'd still do that and they might be different when they're about to become a teen than they were as a toddler but I still think its a great idea to give more direction that I'll be adopting. Thank you for this fantastic video👏
I've been enjoying sort of creating a storyline in my mind for a Sim but based around their personality and aspirations, and then seeing where it goes. For example I had two young single girls who were romance/popularity so I thought it would be great for them to rent an apartment downtown and be two young roomies breaking hearts out on the town! But then one of them got risky woohoo pregnant in like, the first round after she moved out haha. So the story changed a little! Which was great because I get to then imagine and play out how she, specifically, would handle that curveball! I like having that direction to go in but also seeing where fate takes them.
There are definitely things I'll adapt for my own game play, e.g. paying a bit more attention to personality points. But I think that this is something people often forget. You don't have to fully adopt a system, you can pick and choose your own. I mean I adopted rotational game play but never any spreadsheets. All my necessary information is in the family or sim description in game because I'm lazy. Also some things wouldn't make sense in my medieval fantasy hood. I pick up things here and there and as long as it's fun, that is alright with me. But I do recommend everyone to get the Hopeless Romantic trait and mod that surpresses x amount of Woohoo and Kisses because it makes the Romance aspiration much more playable if you do not strive for everyone being cheating Casanovas. For some characters that's great but some of my princesses are just very much in love with the idea of love but do not want a dozen affairs.
Absolutely agree, it’s a buffet not a set menu! I started my hood intending it to be a semi-BACC with some rules dropped and changed, and it quickly evolved even more to being more just rotational with a few “bespoke” rules 😂. Totally agree with the hopeless romantic trait and mod, that’s essential to play out the hopeless romantic archetype in Sophie’s aspiration calculator. I think of them as the Gomez Addams romantics!
@@88kayleigh I always wanted to try BACC but the rules kept me from it and so I just decided to develop my neighborhood as I go and as my mood ditctates. I'm now in my eighth week/fifteenth rotation and I finally decided to introduce magic and a military complex (I had intended to built ever since week 5...which was three years ago). In the end, it's a game and it's supposed to be fun. The police won't arrest you if you don't follow "fandom rules". If I didn't went with my own flow, I wouldn't have stuck with the game for 18 years by now
Definitely! Hopefully this video is helpful either for long term players stuck in a rut who weren’t sure which direction to take next, or maybe newer or returning players trying to decide how to get stuck in to the game.
Amazing video!! This came at a perfect time as I’m creating a new neighborhood and was debating if I should give traits a try! I’ve been playing wants based for YEARS so I’m ready for something new lol I’ll never not be in awe at the creativity of ts2 players! Subscribed!
Thank you! I’m glad it inspired and I hope it pays off in your new hood!
This is a great idea!!
this was a nice watch! i deffo feel like wants-based is a bit too restrictive. as great as the wants are, they tend to follow a similar pattern depending on your sims' aspiration, age, career, traits, etc. you tend to notice that family sims will constantly roll to have children and, sometimes, i don't wanna have 10 kids in the household. or every child ever will want a puppy or kitten. at times, so many cool gameplay things will never be experienced if you play purely wants-based.
Exactly! You buy a cat and suddenly they want a whole fleet of cats 😂 which can sometimes spur a fun idea for certain Sims, maybe they will become cat breeders or cat hoarders lol! But other times you’re just like no…. I am the Sim God, and that is just not happening.
